39
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: at ESPN, we would play on Tuesday at noon, and

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,520

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: You show up to do sports centering, you got I mean, look,

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: we saw an unfortunate incident where someone took a skate

46
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: to the face earlier. Uh you know, christ has averted,

47
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 3: but I mean that think about that scar forever. Hey,

48
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: that's the that's the guy that got roughed up in

49
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: the pickup game, you know.

50
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: And if and if I remember right, like playing with

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: and it was fun because like we would sit on

52
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the bench, we would have fun. We taught, like Turico

53
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: and I got along really well at ESPN and they

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: are both Syracuse guys and everything. But if I remember right,

55
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: he actually wore a cage, like he wore one of

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: those cages where you could see out of your eyes,

57
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: but like it was it was it was the full

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: cage on most of his face. It's like, you know, hey,

59
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm on camera. You know, I'm I I have to

60
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: I have to do this. I remember him wearing a

61
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: cage when he would come to play. And of course,

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: you know me, I didn't care at the time of die.

63
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: And I hated wearing advisors like that was like we're

64
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: an advisor or can't Like I was like I hated it,

65
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: hated it, hated it, hated it. And I'm mister, hey,

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: let's be pro pro safety, pro this play right, you know,

67
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: outfit yourself the right way. If someone came to me

68
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: and said, hey, how do you feel about where advisors

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: in hockey. I would go, yeah, talk to that guy,

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: because I couldn't stand I couldn't stand wearing advisor. I

71
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: hated it. But it was very quickly after, very quick

72
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: after that happened that Mike Turrico told everybody the news

73
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: that nobody wanted to hear the gold medal game between

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: Canada and the United States eight am Eastern Time on Sunday,

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: And just for a second, I wanted someone to say, Hey,

76
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: eight am Sunday isn't brutal, It's an inconvenience. Five am

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: Sunday morning is brutal, which is which I mean. Five

78
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: am is brutal. Eight am is inconvenient. Like you know,

79
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just like NFL when they play you know,

80
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: they play the the the International Games. Okay, Sunday morning,

81

Speaker 1: waking up nine, nine thirty ish to watch a game, Okay, yeah,

82
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,120

00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: the morning to watch a game on the West Coast.

84
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it right. I'm just not And the

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: same thing here, like, okay, eight am Sunday, No, it's

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 1: not optimal. That is not the optimal time we're playing

87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 1: the gold medal game. But you could still wake up,

88
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 1: go downstairs and make waffles and stuff and everything breakfast

89
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: with the number one event at the in the Olympics, right,

90
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,000

00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 4: No.

92
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: Five am is the real brutal part of it, where

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, And honestly, my wife and I talked

94
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: about it. I just said, if we turn our phones

95
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: off and just get up at like eight o'clock after

96
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: the game is over, and the first thing we do

97
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: is just watch the game and don't turn our phones on,

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're gonna do. So I would.

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: So I think that's how we're gonna do it on Sunday,

100
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: because I'm like, I can't get up at five o'clock

Speaker 1: and there's ants in it and everything. I don't care.

159
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: It's perfect right here, all of that. It's it's it.

160
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: The five am is brutal, eight am is inconvenient. But

161
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: no matter what, this is not an optimal time to

162
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: have an event, right because it's because you look at

163
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: the the time difference and it's middle of the afternoon

164
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday in Italy, right we're playing at two o'clock

165
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. It's like, okay, in no, in no

166
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: country are they playing this at the right time at

167
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: they play at a good time for everybody. In middle

168
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: of the day on Sunday or or early in the

169
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: morning for the United States, it's a bad time. And

170
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: the big overarching point I have with this, And I

171
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: thought about this going into you know, thinking about all

172
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: the all the events we've had the last couple weeks

173
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: of the Olympics, and playing the USA Women's gold medal

174
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: game the same time as the women's free skate, uh

175
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: for I mean, which were two of the biggest events

176
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: of the of the game so far. And I come

177
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: back to this, and I'm being honest, I don't know

178
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: how people haven't thought about this. Why don't we just

179
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: extend the games by a couple of days. I don't

180
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: think anybody would be averse to that. I don't think

181
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: any country or city that is hosting the Olympics would say, hey,

182
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: we have it for fourteen days. It's going to be

183
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: seventeen days, and we can have a whole day for

184
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: the closing ceremonies, or we can have you know, just

185
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: the We don't need to have events before the opening ceremonies.

186
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: Like we can parse things out a little bit because

187
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: it's the Olympics, it's a celebration of sport. It's there's

188
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: so many big stories, and hey, there's no reason why

189
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 1: we have to jam things in. There, no reason why

190
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: we have to play hockey games back to back. Like

191
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: why are we playing hockey games back to back?

192
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 4: Right?

193
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Why are we curling? I get every day, you could

194
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: play curling every day. You could play match upon match

195
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: a curling every day. But like, I don't think there's

196
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: anything that says, hey, we have to have the Olympics

197
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: start by this date and then by this day. I'm

198
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: okay with extending it by a couple of days. Right,

199
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: if we have the opening ceremonies two Fridays ago and

200
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: then the closing ceremonies are on Sunday, all I get.

201
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: You want the closing ceremonies on a Sunday. But why

202
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: not have the opening ceremonies on a Sunday night and

203
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: we have three weeks of the Olympics. I mean, it's

204
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: every four years, it's the it's the Winter Olympics or

205
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: Summer Olympics, it's every four years. I don't think people

206
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: would be averse to that. I think TV networks would

207
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: sell more advertising. I think you could get more more

208
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: games in more coverage in of all the different sports.

209
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 4: Yeah.

210
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean I feel like a lot of stuff is

211
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: rushed in and and and obviously they're putting in this game.

212
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: We want to play the most high profile game because

213
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: hockey is the most high profile team sport they have

214
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: in the Olympics, in the Winter Games, and we want

215
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: to roll that into the closing ceremonies. Why are we

216
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: doing that? You can have a whole full day for

217
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: the closing ceremonies, right, you can have you can have

218
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: the closing ceremonies be the ice skating that we're gonna

219
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: get on Saturday night with with Malanin and all the

220
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: winners and a lista lou You can have that be

221
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: a part of it. You can move stuff around. I

222
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: don't think we need to keep jamming stuff into the

223
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: Olympics to make it fit. I don't know why we

224
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: don't make it a few more days.

225
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: I don't.

226
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: I think everybody wins.

227
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 4: Now.

228
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 3: I've had the good fortune and and opportunity to travel

229
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 3: a little bit of the world.

230
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: I still have a lot left to see. I'm not as.

231
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 3: Well versed in the the fine finer points across the globe,

232
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: like our guy Rob Parker, who's got his you know,

233
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: pins on it and every continent and everything. But I've

234
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 3: travel enough, and but I know the tourist. The part

235
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 3: of it is, you know that everybody's out.

236
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: To get my money. Uh. And when you add.

237
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: Religious services in, there's certain percentage of every population that

238
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 3: still adheres to you know, keep the Sabbath holy or

239
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 3: you know, church on Sunday morning, like all of those things,

240
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: right that. But for the rest of the world, do

241
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: they operate the same way in terms of weekends like

242
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 3: we do because obviously it's primetime Sunday here the rest

243
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 3: that really doesn't matter, does it, Dude?

244
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: The rest of the world they're on vacation, Like, yah,

245
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: we'll take three weeks off. But you know what I mean,

246
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: like the rest of the world, like closes down business

247
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: for the entire when they feel like, hey, we're closing

248
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: down business. Why Hey, are our soccer team won our

249
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: opening week game. We're closed for the week? Wait? What

250
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: was just opening? Yah, we're closing for the week. We

251
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: don't care. That's what I mean.

252
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: Right, Either Airbnbs and they're gone anyway, or it's the

253
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: all right, we're playing to the.

254
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 2: US primetime schedule. To hell with that.

255
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: No, We're we're gonna have it on Monday. It's off

256
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 3: by itself. Watch or don't. You're gonna watch the summarized

257
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: made for TV closing ceremony anyway. It's like, is that

258
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: one that you clamor for necessarily live? If it's in

259
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 3: the middle of an afternoon, No, you're gonna watch it

260
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: at your convenience as opposed to a live, actual sporting event.

261
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I I look at this and I say,

262
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: all right, what's a downside to it? What? What's what's

263
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: the downside of this? Because anytime you want to change

264
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: on to what's a downside? And I can't find one.

265
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you if everybody's gonna watch Olympics for

266
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: two weeks and three days, where they'll watch it for

267
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: two weeks and six days, they'll watch two weeks and

268
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: five days. They will they will watch that. You will

269
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: have to worry about I want to watch this, but

270
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: I also want to watch this, and I want to

271
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: watch this, but I want to watch this. You'll have

272
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: to worry about that. Less you'll get to watch what

273
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: you want to see. You'll get you get to and

274
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: and NBC will get more for their money's worth. You'll

275
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: be able to have more people go to different events.

276
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean, so many problems just get solved. I really,

277
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't see the net.

278
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 3: But for the host country, is it a an impediment

279
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: to getting back to their their style and quality of life?

280
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: Do they lose money on this?

281
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 4: Right?

282
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: It's fuzzy math when you host a big event, like

283
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean.

284
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: They're losing money hosting the Olympics. I don't think you're

285
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: bidding that money to lose money. I feel I feel

286
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: like they're making the money. Yeah, I feel like they're

287
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: making money. I mean, even up to a few years ago,

288
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: I remember seeing stories like the La Times I think

289
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: had a story that hey, Los Angeles is still feeling

290
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: the economic effects money they've made from the eighty four Olympics,

291
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: and that was like, you know, thirty years ago. Like

292
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: there's a reason why countries bid for the Olympics, because

293
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: they want it, because they make money. It's a big thing.

294
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,040
Speaker 1: It's three four more days of their country being the

295
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: number one topic in the world. I think every country

296
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: would sign up for.

297
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: People outside of Los Angeles are running when it comes here, right,

298
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 3: uh yeah, now, no vot no confidence from from team

299
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: Harmon here in terms of being able to operate out

300
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: of profit. If people that are currently running the administration

301
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: are running things.

302
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, the uh yeah, the LA. But we got two years.

303
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: It's okay, we have two years. Well, I think we'll

304
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: be fine. I think that'll that'll get I've already have

305
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: Pam's Pam's relatives are already calling us saying, hey, can

306
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: we come out for the Olympics, Like I mean in

307
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 1: two years, two and a half years, you want to

308
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: you're calling us now to come out in two and

309
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: a half years for the Olympics. Uh sure, okay, yeah, fine, yeah,

Speaker 1: the Olympics. Yeah, okay, Uh, but I think I think

312
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: we have time to get there. But a place like Italy,

313
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: I think any country would want to have that kind

314
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,719
Speaker 1: of attention on them for even more. And if you're

315
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: losing money, they wouldn't bet on the Olympics. Olympics to

316
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: lose money.

317
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,320

321
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 3: fans that come and maybe maybe you want them to

322
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:07,720

391
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 4: a few things to talk about that would serve a

392
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: tongue in chee remarked by them.

393
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: Wow, okay, all right, so this is gonna this is

394
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,560

00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: go well.

398
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: I feel like Joe Pasty and Good Fellows when I

399
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 4: get called to the empty room.

400
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Hey, as I found out that they always

401
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: bring two guys when they do it right in the movies,

402
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: not one guy, two guys when you know you're in trouble.

403
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,720

Speaker 4: This is zoom. We don't yet, we don't meet in person.

406
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 4: So that's why we did meet in person one year

407
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 4: at the Combines. But that's not going to happen those times.

408
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: So they okay, because I heard that was going to

409
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: be one of the changes, was that, hey, you're going

410
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: to get everybody in the room when you're talking Hall

411
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: of Fame in person. I didn't know if this was

412
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: a precursor to that.

413
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: I mean they wanted, They talked about doing that for

414
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 4: a couple of years, and they actually had its book

415
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 4: to fly to Atlanta one year for all this, and

416
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 4: then they had this major storm hit Atlanta and we

417
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 4: had to cancel all the flights. So it was, you know,

418
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: it was when they tried. I mean, I give I

419
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 4: give them credit, but you know, the weather did not cooperate.

420
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 4: So they would they would like to have that. I

421
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 4: don't know that it makes a whole big difference, but

422
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 4: they'd like they'd like to.

423

00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 4: killed there from the lineman Bostock?

467
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: Right, why why did you get why'd you get so

468
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: dark on that?

469
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 4: Man?

470
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: That's a sad story.

471
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 4: Started with you start with the Hall of Fame, it

472
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: wasn't gonna go It wasn't to go anywhere from there.

473
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: When you start with the Pro Football Hall of Fame voting,

474
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: you know where you're into it.

475
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:30,959
Speaker 4: Uh.

476
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like Indiana has just kind

477
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: of discovered even though they've had the combine and the

478
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: Colts like, hey, we could get the Bears because we

479
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: love the fact that the Hoosiers won the national championship.

480
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: Let's do everything football now, let's get as many football

481
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: teams as possible here in Indiana.

482
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: Well, because the Colts had not really been holding up

483
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: there under the bargain, well, yes, exactly, someone as well

484
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: add the Bears.

485
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: Oh, if Daniel Jones didn't get hurt, they'd have won

486
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Come on, man, he would have brought

487
00:21:58,280 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: them to the Super Bowl.

488
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever A right, So moving on, this is this

489
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 4: is you know, this is just the silly way that

490
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 4: the it's a silly way that the Bears negotiate. They

491
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: got and find. You know, they did the exact same

492
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: thing the last time, and they got the deal downtown

493
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 4: because they leverage downtown. Because so they're just recreating the

494
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 4: same method that they did last time, and they get

495
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 4: they'll get a deal done somewhere in downtown and they'll

496
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 4: get the money that they want. I mean, nobody ever

497
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 4: excused the Bears being clever. Now they're effective, but they're

498
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 4: not clever.

499
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 3: No, I no, no, I mean this is just the

500
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 3: shameless negotiations and leveraging each other but not Yeah.

501
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 4: And the Bears, like the Bears, for all intents and purposes,

502
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 4: are I mean, the Bulls are a non factor right now,

503
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 4: right so nobody can about the bulls unless Jordan drives

504
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 4: through town and then all of a sudden everybody cares

505
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: about the bulls because they saw Michael's car. The Cubs

506
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 4: only really apply to the North Side, and the White

507
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 4: Sox haven't been relevant since Lewis Appartio was their shortstop.

508
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 4: And that that'll data right there. Wow.

509
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you work for ESPN, where you forget about two

510
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: thousand and five?

511
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do, I do?

512
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: Or do you just hate.

513
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 4: I just I'm just I'm just letting you letting you

514
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 4: know it. I mean, Ron Kettle not a factor. Harold

515
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 4: Bames not doesn't belong.

516
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,679
Speaker 2: In the Hall of No, don't you Dare does not.

517
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 4: Belong in the Hall of Fame. Stop just don't. Okay,

518
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: just don't.

519
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 3: All right, Well, here's a football question we kicked around yesterday.

520
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 3: What do you what do you think do the Dolphins

521
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: take the full ninety nine million of two on the

522
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 3: books this year?

523
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 4: They should? I mean, if you're going to be this bad,

524
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 4: because what are they going to get to play quarterback?

525
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 2: Viewers?

526
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 4: Justin viewers? Yeah, yours for nothing? So or are you

527
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 4: going to go get you know, Kurt, you know his

528
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 4: cousin is going to play for you on like a

529
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 4: five million dollar upside deal or something like that. Yeah.

530
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson, Yeah I would. God, you've not been there

531
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 4: once along with along with his mother, Bob Greasy, Brian Grazi.

532
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: Don Strock, Wow records.

533
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: Wow, don Strock? Will we gonna bring Marino back to

534
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: and how about the the nineteen different guys who played

535
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: between when they got to from Marina to like what

536
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 4: was it Chad Punnington or something like that.

537
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah, Jay Feedler, Yeah yeah, bring him.

538
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: No no, you forget the best. Cleo Lemon, Cleo Leo Lemon,

539
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 4: the ghost of David would like, that's the all too soon,

540
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 4: that's it's only in four years. So there we go. Yeah,

541
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 4: like like I would do this, I would. I would

542
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 4: just take this thing all the way down to the

543
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 4: studs and and do the total rebuild because what's left

544
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 4: on that team that you really are planning is going

545
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 4: to be with you long term. Plus, there's nothing to

546
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: spend money on in free agency this year, right, I

547
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: mean if Jalen Phillips is roundly listed at the number

548
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 4: five ranked free agent player in this year's class, this

549
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 4: might be the worst free agent class in the history

550
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 4: of the NFL.

551
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: Breece Hall is second in a lot of lists, like

552
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: Breece Hall is the number two free agent on a

553
00:25:58,119 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 1: lot of times, behind Trey Hendrickson.

554
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 4: Does that tell you everything you need to know about

555
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 4: how bad free agency is in the year when teams

556
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 4: have more money to spend than ever because of the

557
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 4: jump in the cap, and the average team this year

558
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 4: held back like fourteen million dollars in rollover, So there's

559
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 4: an obscene amount of money just floating around in the NFL.

560
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 4: On the books for teams to spend. There's so much

561
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 4: money out there for them to spend that most of

562
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 4: them can't possibly begin to spend it. So yeah, Briefall

563
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 4: could actually make some money just because somebody's like, hey,

564
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 4: we got to spend it somehow, might as well buy him.

565
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 4: But I mean, again, that's how bad this free agent

566
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 4: class is that you have Jalen Phillips as a top five,

567
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 4: top ten ranked free agents. Well, this guy's done nothing

568
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 4: in his career. Brifall at least has had some moments.

569
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 4: Are given that.

570
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Jason Cole with US Football Hall of Fame voter also

571
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: check them out the thirty third team. All right, lastly,

572
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: before we last time, we'll talk for the combine.

573
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

574
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 1: Anyway, we come out of the combine and the Raiders say, hey,

575
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: we're not taking f Nana Mendoz number one.

576
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 4: I don't know that there are enough hallucinogenics for the

577
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: entire front office for the Raiders to take to do.

578
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. You scour Vegas well enough?

579
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: Thank you?

580
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 4: Do you have? You're they're going to be in Indianapolis.

581
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 4: Do you think they'll be sequestered from most of that?

582
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 4: Not all of it? Because again it's Indiana. Anything's possible,

583
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 4: but it's not Vegas. Like you gotta be, you got

584
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 4: to be. You've got to be doing like a Hunter

585
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 4: S Thompson, fear and loathing in Las Vegas kind of

586
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 4: march to you know, to do that many hallucinogenics to

587
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: not take from your mendoza Like that's like Johnny Depp

588
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 4: would have to recreate Hunry Thompson and then take over

589
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 4: the body of Tom Brady and Spytech and then you

590
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 4: might get that that happened. Can we have like a

591
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 4: seance where that all comes together. It might be an

592
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 4: opportunity for Johnny Depp to actually make some money since

593
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 4: nobody wants to do any movies with the name one.

594
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: So if Berman was announcing the story you just said,

595
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: he would say so clearly, TJ. There might be some

596
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: fear and loathing in Las Vegas after the old Loyd.

597
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 4: Why why did we have to do this?

598
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: You opened the door? That was a fastball down the

599
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: middle man?

600
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 4: I did. I didn't, God, I just didn't think that

601
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 4: Berman was going to make its way into this.

602
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,959
Speaker 3: I didn't.

603
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: Why don't you do something? Why don't you do like

604
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: Berman doing some warms Zvon. You know Roland Headless, Thompson Gunner,

605
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 4: you know when you talked about Roland Thompson or something

606
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: like that.

607
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: Come on, you you talked about you talked about Unter Thompson.

608
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: It actually mentioned Las Vegas. I mean that was easy, man,

609
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: that was an easy one. Come on.

610
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 4: I know, I know, I know it was. It was

611
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 4: a way of drilling, but I didn't see it. Like

612
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 4: I didn't see it. It was just it was. It

613
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 4: was like I threw the path blindly and you just

614
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 4: cut right in front of it. And then you know,

615
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 4: like Tomahawk did, you were like doctor j against Michael Cooper,

616
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 4: where you're just like weird back.

617
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: He's on Twinner at Jason Cole sixty two. That is

618
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: at Jason Cole sixty two. Hey, good luck in your

619
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: big Hall of Fame Zoom meeting next week. Hopefully it goes. Hey,

620
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: I wait to hear all about it.

621
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,920

Speaker 1: Mike Harmon your selfish bastard. Uh. One of the big

722
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: topics in the Olympics today is something that every few

723
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: years a big group of people finds out and they're

724
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: really surprised by it. But this is the way it's

725
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: been over the course of the entire Olympics. So today

726
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: there's video of John Rableski, head coach the US women's

727
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: hockey team, talking to Hillary Knight asking to see her

728
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: gold medal, and you know, she shows him the gold medal.

729
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: He sees it, you know, nice, everything looks at it

730
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: and wait, wait a minute, what do you mean, Andy?

731
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: Every four years people find out coaches don't get Olympic medals,

732
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: just the players do. And I admit I didn't know

733
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 1: this until probably like I was probably my thirties or

734
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: my late thirties. One I found out. I remember Pat

735
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: Summit doing an interview where with someone where she talked

736
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: about her coaching Team USA and the women winning the

737
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: gold medal, and the person interviewing her she says, well,

738
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't I don't have a gold medals. What do

739
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: you mean, well, coaches don't get gold medals. When I asked,

740
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 1: they said it's for people who are on the court.

741
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: And I say, I step on the court all the time.

742
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't want me doing it, but you know,

743
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: cause I'm yelling at an official, but I'm on the court.

744
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: I deserve a gold medal. Like very funny, and I

745
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: We're going, Wow, the coaches don't get medals, and that's

746
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: the thing, and people find this out and no, wait

747
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: a minute, coaches don't get gold medals and they don't

748
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: and it's a really it's a really surprising thing, especially

749
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: when you think about in team sports, how big coaches

750
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: are as what they impact what is going on on

751
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: the field of play. Right Like, I get it for

752
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: the individual coaches. I get it for the individual coaches

753
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: of gymnastics or skiing or figure skating. I understand that

754
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: because in the end, the gold medal is or your

755
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: medal is the person is out there and they are

756
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: doing things and there is no coaching involved. Right, There

757
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: is no coaching involved in these events, right, No skiing

758
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: coaches yelling at you, hey, turn faster down the mountain,

759
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: like you know, they're not doing that, right, it's not happening. So,

760
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,799
Speaker 1: but when you get to a team sport like hockey basketball,

761
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but during the game, the coaching staff has

762
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: a huge impact on the game. Right, the United States

763
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: is not winning the gold medalist, Robleski says, hey, two

764
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 1: minutes left to go, let's let let's uh, let let's

765
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 1: let's get a Frankle to the bench. We talk about

766
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 1: it's twenty two early. No, let's do it. And I'm

767
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: just using this as an example. Obviously, they have impact

768
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,439
Speaker 1: on the entire game. So I see this and I go, yeah,

769
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: I get for the individual events. I get for most

770
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: of the events. But team events like this, Yeah, I

771
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: think if you're coaching during the game, or or a

772
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: head coach and their top two assistants, yeah, I'm pretty

773
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: sure they deserve metals too, just because they're impacting what

774
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: is going on. They are affecting the outcome of the event,

775
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 1: whereas the other coaches, Hey, before you step on the ice,

776
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,800
Speaker 1: before you get on the on the on the mountain,

777
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: they're affecting it. After they're helping their effect. But during it,

778
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 1: while the competition's going on, they're not getting it. So

779
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: I understand. I mean it's you know, I get that,

780
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of individual coaches everybody has I understand,

781
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: But when a team sport like that, yeah, I think, uh,

782
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: I think metals should be going out to those people.

783
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 3: Here was coaches quote for the the through the New

784
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 3: York Times quote, Are you motivated by prize as a

785
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 3: coach or are you motive evaded by service?

786
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 2: What's actually your role?

787
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 3: If you're looking at it like the metal is something

788
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 3: that represents the job that you did, you might not

789
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: be in it for the right reasons.

790
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 2: Can I ask? And it's not.

791
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 3: Disclosed at least from anything I've been able to suss out.

792
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 3: How much of a bonus does he get for the

793
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: US women's team winning the gold medal? I gotta imagine

794
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 3: there's bonus structure to his contract. Yeah, But while he

795
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: doesn't get the metal, the hunk of metal, as we

796
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 3: cross sports there, I'm sure he's handsomely rewarded not to mention.

797
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: You know, he's forever in forever, etched into the annals

798
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 3: of history and probably never has to buy a beer

799
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:44,520
Speaker 3: or sandwich again.

800
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure, but I if I know the human condition,

801
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,240
Speaker 1: I know that every day if I win a gold medal,

802
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: I would walk by it or hold it or put

803
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:57,840
Speaker 1: it on everything, take my life.

804
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 2: Unless it would have road if I showered with it.

805
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: Well, you know, you know already they had problems and

806
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: problems with the with the medals early on in the Olympics.

807
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: That's why, with my tremendous background in history, in the

808
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 3: trading card business, I would find the proper case and

809
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 3: sell it to all the Olympic athletes before they left

810
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 3: the podium. You're gonna need this? What do you mean

811
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna need this? That thing's gonna crack in eight pieces.

812
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: You're gonna be giving it out like the little crown

813
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 3: at the end of Mean Girls before it's all said

814
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 3: and done. So you want to protect it right now?

815
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 3: For nineteen ninety five. I think it takes stripe or

816
00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 3: zell or anything you got.

817
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: I think if you ask coaches, okay, you could get

818
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:39,600
Speaker 1: the money you're making. You can get whatever bonus you're

819
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: getting or you can get a gold medal. They would say, no,

820
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 1: give me that gold medal. I want the gold medal,

821
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 1: and yeah, and yeah, could you give it to everybody

822
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: on the staff, Like okay, Like if you have a coach,

823
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: you have your head coach and your two assistant coaches

824
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: and your video coach. No, but the you know, a

825
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: coach and two assistants, you know, for the sports. Yeah,

826
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: I think that's okay. And I don't think you're opening

827
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: up the door to anything where well, all the other

828
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: coaches are gonna want medals now, and that's the whole

829
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: thing now for the team sports, when when you're coaching

830
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: something during the event. I think that's a pretty easy

831
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: line that you can say, Okay, you're on one side

832
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: of it or the other. Yeah, I just I just

833
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: don't see that being a really big thing.

834
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 3: Well, the spot price right now for a gram of

835
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: pure twenty four carried gold is about one hundred and

836
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: sixty five bucks. They say there's only six ounces of

837
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 3: pure gold in a gold medal, So I mean you're

838
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,319
Speaker 3: looking at you know, just a hunk of metal. Oh yeah, yeah, Well,

839
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: I mean the thousand dollars in gold the last time

840
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 3: medals were actually all gold, like the entirely made of

841
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 3: gold was like in the early nineteen hundred.

842
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: To decide, oh wait, these things are way too valuable.

843
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: You exit out about a Fresco exit Swallen Dome. We

844
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: get into a big NBA story coming up next right here,
