1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Howard chewing this Monday Best and Worst of the weekend.

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 2: Once you saw that you liked, you didn't like, Operator

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Tyler sitting by, Take your phone calls. Stat of the

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: Day brought to you by Panini America, the Official Trading

7
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: Cards and NFT said The Dan Patrick Show check in

8
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 2: with the Thunder coming up. After an impressive win, they

9
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 2: even the series. You know the thing with Indiana, if

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: you're a basketball fan and you followed them during the postseason,

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: you realized that, okay, they're down fifteen, they can come back.

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 2: So you're watching it differently than you would maybe other

13
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: NBA teams NBA games. They've proven that, all right, we're

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 2: down fifteen, we can come back. Therefore, I stayed with

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: the game a lot longer than I would normally have stayed.

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 2: But Okase was different last night because it started with SGA.

17
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: He was different. He would get in the lane, he

18
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: would draw two or three defenders and then he would

19
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: kick it out. And they were making their threes. They're

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: not a three point shooting team, but they became one

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: last night, or show they're capable. They played great defense,

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: Tyrese Haliburton. I want to see a little more aggression there,

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna give Okase credit for that. They played

24
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: great defense once again. So the Thunder and the Pacers.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: Now they head to Indiana. That'll be coming up Game

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: three on Wednesday nine. All right, we'll get to phone

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: calls as we always do every Monday, best and worst

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: of the weekend. And if you were going to say

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: Scotty Scheffler versus the field? Right now the DraftKings odds,

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: Scotty is an overwhelming favorite to win at Oakbant plus

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 2: two seventy five. Next on the list is Rory at

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: plus eight point fifty. Then it's Bryce and Deshambeau, John

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: Rahm and a even longer shot with Zanders Shoffley. It

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: feels like it's Scotty Scheffler's to lose. Is Scotty worthy now?

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: Is he Tiger worthy to be Scotty versus the field?

36
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: I think he only has two majors. It feels like

37
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: he's got five. But he's got two majors and always

38
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: in contention the other tournaments that he's winning. But it

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: feels like he's he's at least in the area code

40
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: of Tiger Woods when it comes to how great he is.

41
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: And I always look at your competitors. Now, the live

42
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: guys can still play in these majors. You know, John

43
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: Rahm is able to play in this, Bryce and de

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 2: Shambeau can play. You know, being a former champ, you're

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: allowed in at the Masters, and so you're still competing

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: against great players. The thing is is those players playing

47
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: on the Live Tour who were in Virginia where Joaquin

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: Neeman wins over the weekend, nobody cares and it's not

49
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: really a true test of what you saw at the

50
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: RBC where you know their sudden death, you know, go

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 2: to extra holes. There that pressure and Paul just said

52
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: three majors there for Scotty. Okay, but you know these

53
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: guys on the Live Tour, you're not in that pressure

54
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 2: cooker environment. You're not in that I gotta make the cut.

55
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: You know, everybody gets paid, everybody's having a nice time. Yeah,

56
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: you want to win, but you know, I don't know

57
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: if people are losing their jobs because their team didn't

58
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 2: or you didn't win the team event at the Live Tour.

59
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: But getting in that mode of when you're when you're

60
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 2: playing on the PGA Tour. It's just different, feels different,

61
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: it's treated differently. It's not a casual thing. It's serious

62
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: and I think trying to get ready to gear up

63
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: to play in a major, that's the hard part. You know.

64
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: John Rahm was maybe the best player in the world

65
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: and then he went to live and he's not the

66
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: best player, but he's still a great player. You know,

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: even when you look at Tiger, how many times did

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: he face off, go toe to toe with a great

69
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: player to win the Major? Not often? I mean, rock

70
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: O Media is a wonderful, wonderful guy and a fun

71
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: guy to be around. Who is it May that was

72
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: at Valhalla? I think who was a great amateur player?

73
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: Like his last name is May. You know, you don't

74
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: run down the list of who did he go against?

75
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: And that's not, you know, not Tiger's fault that Ernie

76
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: Els wasn't there or Phil wasn't there on a consistent basis.

77
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 2: You know, you look at Nicholas, Nicholas, it felt like, okay,

78
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: you got Trevino and Gary Plair and you got Tom Watson.

79
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: You know, you can run down the list of guys

80
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: who were Hall of Famers, who were usually there with Jack.

81
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: So that's what I want to see. I want to

82
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 2: se see guys going toe to toe with Scottie Scheffler

83
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: and you know, hopefully that's Rory or Bryson de Shamba.

84
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what you want, you know, that's where

85
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: it's memorable, where you have the showdown between those two.

86
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: What was May's Do we know what his first name was?

87
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 3: It's Bob May.

88
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 2: Bob May. I was gonna say Brad May. Like Matt Gogel,

89
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Wasn't he a guy who competed against Tiger at Pebble

90
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: in the US Open. Matt Gogel might have finished second

91
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: at fifteen shots back, but I mean Tiger kind of

92
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: blew people out of the water there. Yeah, Pauling, I

93
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: went back and looked.

94
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 4: At the odds.

95
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 5: While you're talking about Tiger or Scotti Schffler being more

96
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: of a favorite. Twenty years ago, Tiger Woods was five

97
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 5: to one to win the US Open. The guys that

98
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: were close to him were Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, VJ.

99
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 5: Singh and then it dropped off dramatically. However, Scotti Scheffler

100
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: is more of a favorite to win this US Open

101
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: than Tiger Wood was to win the US Open in

102
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: two thousand and five for a comp.

103
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 2: Here's something I didn't realize. I actually lost to bet.

104
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: Guy goes, uh, hey, you know when Tiger won the

105
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 2: Masters nineteen ninety seven. I go, yeah, yeah, it was there.

106
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: He goes, Do you know that Jack Nicholas finished higher

107
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: than Tiger the next Major or the next Masters? I go, wait,

108
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: hold on, here, hold on, he said, check it that

109
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: Jack I think finished sixth at the Masters in nineteen

110
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: ninety eight. Does that sound right because I would have

111
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: thought jacket Jack didn't finish higher. Yes, PAULI, that is correct.

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 5: Jack Nicholas was five under, tied for sixth with David Toms,

113
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 5: and Tiger was tied for eighth at three under.

114
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: Isn't that amazing? Yes? I mean Jack in eighty six

115
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: when he was what forty six when he won?

116
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:06,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, PAULI, fred Marcomera won that Masters, was and Freddy

117
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 5: Couples was in there, Paul Aisinger classics.

118
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. But Jack Nicholas finishing higher than Tiger at Augusta.

119
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: All right. So we have Oakmont, beautiful, challenging golf course.

120
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: And I made the mistake of if you had the

121
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: ball above the hole, it can roll off the green

122
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: if you put it, but it it's spectacular. They took

123
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: down a lot of trees there a long time ago.

124
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: But beautiful clubhouse the eighteenth is awesome, and you know,

125
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 2: hopefully weatherwise it'll be fun there with the US Open.

126
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: All right, poll question for hour two is going to

127
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: be what Seaton no counter we got up there right now?

128
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 6: Will the NCAA settlement shift college sports either a game

129
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 6: changer or not really? Right now, fifty four percent of

130
00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 6: the audience have it as a not really that significant.

131
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's pretty interesting.

132
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 7: Right.

133
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 6: We're also putting up their most strenuous sport between the

134
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 6: three currently happening, Basketball, Hockey, Tennis. I anticipate hockey to

135
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 6: run away with this. I anticipate basketball to be second

136
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 6: and tennis will be third. And I don't know if

137
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 6: it should be that order.

138
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, recency biased. When you're out there for five

139
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 2: and a half hours mentally and physically. I still marvel

140
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: at what hockey players do. Unbelievable. I mean, I just

141
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: see there's certain sports when you watch and you go,

142
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: why don't I watch more of this?

143
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

144
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 2: Definitely like yesterday when you're watching tennis, you go, God,

145
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: I should watch more of this. Well, not every match

146
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: is like that, but hockey playoff hockey is like that,

147
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: and you'll watch hockey and you I should watch more

148
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: of this.

149
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 6: I could watch playoff hockey, doesn't matter who's playing. Hockey

150
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 6: is one of the best of all the sports. It

151
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 6: seems like the best combination of skill and like grit

152
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 6: or toughness.

153
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: And you're doing it on skates and you're doing it

154
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: on ice and they got a stick and you got

155
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: a stick, and that puck is going one hundred miles

156
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: an hour. What could go wrong?

157
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, It's like as they were inventing it, they kept saying,

158
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 5: let's make it tougher. All right, So we're gonna be

159
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 5: just running around. No, no, no, We're gonna go on ice, ice,

160
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 5: and you're gonna use a stick, and then the blades,

161
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: and then one guy's gonna have no face mask.

162
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: The goalie.

163
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,839
Speaker 5: Now, no face mask, you can't have it. We'll wait

164
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 5: a couple decades. Then we'll get a face mask for

165
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 5: the goal.

166
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: Do we get to wear helmets? Now you don't have to.

167
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 6: Now we're gonna make it ruin the game. Yes, great,

168
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 6: you gotta wear a helmet. Okay, you have us seen

169
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 6: like sometimes the slow motion, like a dude will get

170
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 6: still even with the face mask and the helmet everything,

171
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 6: but the stick gets.

172
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: Up into that shield.

173
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 6: Like gosh, yeah, what happens with hockey players the dexterity.

174
00:09:55,600 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 6: It's crazy toughness doing it on skates. Yes, yes, Martin,

175
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 6: you're the designated fighter now. Your entire life up until then,

176
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 6: you scored one hundred goals a game. Like, you know what,

177
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 6: you're the best fighter. That's all you do. You're going

178
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 6: to protect Sidney Crosby or Wayne Gretzky. You're going to fight.

179
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: But I like that they don't fight in the postseason

180
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 2: for the most part. Like they'll kind of jostle around

181
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: a little bit there and you know, say something and

182
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: push and shove and all that. But you know, I

183
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: want to see the great That was the problem I

184
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 2: always had when I was watching hockey. Now, this is

185
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 2: when the Devils were really good, and you know, they

186
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 2: would score two goals and then they would go into

187
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: their zone defense and all of a sudden, this shell

188
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: and then nobody was scoring. And I remember watching one

189
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 2: time and Barry Milrose he was telling me. I said,

190
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: Barry what should I be watching for? He said, you

191
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: see that guy right there? I said, yeah, he goes

192
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 2: best player in hockey. It was Peter Forsburg And I go,

193
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: all right, So I watched and I go, uh, I

194
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: didn't see anything. He he's looking at things that I'm not.

195
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm gonna see did you score, that's all?

196
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 2: Did you assist or anything? And uh. But you want

197
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 2: when people tune in, you want them to be able

198
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 2: to see that guy is great because I there's times

199
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: when I watch soccer where I'll go that guy didn't

200
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: do anything, but he's the best, one of the best players.

201
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 8: You know.

202
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: I'll watch MESSI sometimes and you go, all right, let

203
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: me see it. I see walking all the time. I

204
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 2: thought you were supposed to run all the time. And

205
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 2: then I just watching and then all of a sudden

206
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 2: you just see this little bolt of lightning, like, you know,

207
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: just wobbling. And then all of a sudden you're going,

208
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: how can he be the best player in this sport?

209
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: And then you see it and you go, damn yes.

210
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 9: Marv Hockey also has two of the best tradition traditions

211
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 9: in sports, the playoff beard and the playoff handshake.

212
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 4: After every series. Two of the best traditions in all

213
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: the sports.

214
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's great. Yeah, it's fun. Playoff hockey, yeah, Paul.

215
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 5: The NHL didn't require players to wear helmets until the

216
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 5: seventy nine eighty season, but if you entered the league

217
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 5: the year before or any time before, you were grandfathered in.

218
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: So a lot of players said, no, you're not going

219
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 5: to force me to. The first ever hockey player to

220
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 5: wear a helmet was a Boston Bruins defenseman named George Owen.

221
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 5: He also played at Harvard Football, so he grabbed his

222
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 5: old Harvard leather helmet and wore it and was made

223
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: fun of and the press soft. Yeah, there's a lot

224
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 5: of different In the nineteen thirties, the Maple Leafs, the

225
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 5: whole team were instructed to wear helmets and the media

226
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 5: just crushed them.

227
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: But the goaltender didn't have a mask like a man. Yeah,

228
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: wasn't that Jacques Plant Wasn't he the first to wear

229
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 2: a mask? You imagine? And I remember seeing hockey mask

230
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: where they would have like us, makeshift stitches in it

231
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 2: where they got hit and then they would you know,

232
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 2: have somebody draw stitches there Craig McTavish. Isn't he the

233
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: last guy? Yeah, he was the last one who went

234
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: without a helmet. Yes, Todd did.

235
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: Catchers and baseball always have a face mask.

236
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 10: Was there a time where like you could just get

237
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 10: hit right in the face with a fastball if you

238
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 10: didn't get your glove up? You were thinking the early

239
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 10: times they had either very antiquated equipment or maybe no

240
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 10: equipment at the very early days. Imagine belittling a catcher

241
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 10: or a hockey player because they want to protect their

242
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 10: face from a buckler of.

243
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: Baseball soft Adam in Chicago, Hi, Adam, what's on your

244
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: mind today? Hey? Dan?

245
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 11: To take him a call? Yep, best and the worst.

246
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: We're best.

247
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 11: Arizona Baseball lost eighteen to two, and their first game

248
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 11: in Chapel Hill three game series came back heavy underdogs

249
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 11: dramatic fashion won the next two, punched their ticket to Omaha,

250
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 11: the worst Europa League first major titles believe had in

251
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 11: twenty something years. And they go ahead and just punt

252
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 11: their Australian manager to the curb just so spurs and

253
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 11: then uh just had a question for you guys, pull

254
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 11: question or discuss amongst yourself curious. What is more enjoyable

255
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 11: as a sports fan. Is it sitting down and actually

256
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 11: watching the game, taking it in as it unfolds in

257
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 11: front of you organically, or is it afterwards the next day,

258
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 11: what you guys do so well and what we all

259
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 11: tune in for breaking it down, hot, taking it, discussing it,

260
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 11: predicting the ramifications of the future. What do we actually

261
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 11: enjoy it more as sports fans?

262
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 8: Take it in the.

263
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: Game or yeah I got it? Yeah, I got big

264
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 2: wind up there, Adam, come on. Just to clarify streamline.

265
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: Top way, people are a long winded like that.

266
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. Don't you hate those people talk?

267
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 3: So there's got to be a shorter way to say that.

268
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 2: Land the plane, Okay, land the plane. What do I

269
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: like more? Chopping it up the day after or watching? Mind? Say,

270
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: watching it? Yeah, I mean that's why I got into

271
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 2: this because I was watching and then you wanted to

272
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to talk about it. But yeah, I

273
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: would say watching, Yeah, Paul.

274
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 5: There is a cool feeling of certain sporting events. It's

275
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: almost like a haze that stays with you the day after,

276
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 5: Like the French Open. The next day you're like, man,

277
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 5: that was an experience that game where triple overtime hockey,

278
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 5: Like the next morning you wake up because that was

279
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 5: something I experienced last night where you almost want to

280
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 5: talk about with anybody.

281
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 2: Well, if you you know game one with the Pacers

282
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: and okay, see blows a big lead and then you

283
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: have you know, Tyre's Haliburton with the game winner, and

284
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 2: then you can break that down. But in the moment,

285
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: like nothing surpasses the moment of watching something like that.

286
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: I enjoy looking back on something or having guests who

287
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: will help you give you insights, or you'll hear from

288
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: the person who hit the shot. You know, that's the

289
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: fun part of it as well, is adding to that.

290
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 2: And that's what our job is always advancing how do

291
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: we advance? I don't always like looking back, as much

292
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: as you can look back and then you look ahead.

293
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 2: I think that's really, you know, that's essential in what

294
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: we try to do. Yes, Tom, no one's.

295
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 3: At the water cooler at their job eleven hours after

296
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: the FED.

297
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: Is it a shot?

298
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 3: It just you lose the moment. It happens right at

299
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 3: that moment.

300
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 10: I do an'tyway is that really a debate between watching

301
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 10: something in the moment and talking about it several hours.

302
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Oh, I think so. I don't know if

303
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 2: people go to the water cooler anymore. I don't know when.

304
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 2: I don't even know if we have breakrooms. I don't

305
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: know if people get together that way. I think you

306
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 2: may on social media. I think you may correspond with

307
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 2: your phone. I don't know if you know a text change.

308
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're hey, you're going to chop

309
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,160

Speaker 5: Yeah, I think eighty four to two thousand.

364
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: Oh okay, that would be sixteen years if my math

365
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: would serve me correctly. Also, I believe played college basketball

366
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,959
Speaker 2: with Tony Gwynn at San Diego State. Michael Cage joining us,

367

Speaker 13: Yeah, let's see. Check for the years and check also

369
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 13: with my man, Tony Gwynn god rest his soul was

370
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 13: a teammate of mine my freshman year at San Diego State.

371
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: Spot on, do you think Tony gwyn could have played

372
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 2: in the NBA? Yes, I do.

373
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 13: And he was a terrific point guard, great leader on

374
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 13: the floor, could shoot the mid range. And now you

375
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 13: got to remember, when I was in college, there was

376
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 13: no three point line, so that three point line wasn't

377
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,879
Speaker 13: so much of a factor. But I watched him shoot

378
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 13: in practice. He had range, and man, he never told me.

379
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 13: I got to tell you this, Dan, He never told

380
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 13: me that he was that good of a baseball player

381
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 13: until spring of his senior year, which was spring of

382
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 13: my freshman year. He said, why don't you come watch

383
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 13: me play? Yeah, And that was it. Man, I became

384
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 13: a fan.

385
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: What was your welcome to the NBA moment?

386
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 13: You know I was drafted as a San Diego Clipper.

387
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 13: So you just mentioned San Diego State, my alma mata,

388
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 13: and I was like happy as a lark. Hey, I'm

389
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 13: local kid. San Diego State just got drafted by the

390
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 13: San Diego Clippers. And then two weeks later, I got

391
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 13: a phone call. You need to move up to LA

392
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 13: and get an apartment somewhere. And I said, well, what

393
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 13: does that mean. Well, the team has moved to Los Angeles.

394
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 13: They're now the Los Angeles Clippers. And I said, okay,

395
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 13: this is what the NBA is like, welcome to it.

396
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:03,359

Speaker 2: How much of a rivalry, like did you get how

398
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: lost does the did the Clippers get in the you

399
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 2: know the shadow, that huge shadow of the Lakers when

400
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: you're in the same town but people don't even know

401
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: that you're there.

402
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 13: Well, first of all, Dan, the LA's gonna always be

403
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 13: a Laker town. I mean, you know, they've they've been there,

404
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 13: what since fifty five their Minneapolis days or whatever. And

405
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 13: but when we came there, my, my, you know, rookie year.

406
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 13: I saw some some fans, some Billy Crystal's, Penny Marshall's

407
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 13: at the.

408
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: Games Hall was probably there, Yeah, he was there.

409
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 13: And then you know, when they did the infamous Come

410
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 13: Into America movie, the writers came to the Clippers game,

411
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 13: saw my hair and said we're going to do the

412
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 13: so glow thing off of Michael Cage's hair. I said, okay,

413
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 13: this is kind of cool. I didn't find that out

414
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 13: till ten years fifteen years later.

415
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 2: But wait, wait, wait, wait wait, because you had a

416
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 2: Jerry Curl, can we keep this moving? No, no, you

417
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: had hair. We should talk about when you had hair, Michael.

418
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 2: But so you had a Jerry Curl, I did they?

419
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: And so they writers looked at that and said we're

420
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: going to use that in Coming to America.

421
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 13: That's what I found out years later from Rolling Stones

422
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 13: magazine that called me and says, hey, you want to

423
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 13: do a story on you with the whole Coming to

424
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 13: America feature. I said, well, what does that have to

425
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 13: do with me? He said, oh, you didn't know. They said, well,

426
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 13: the writers came to a clicker game. I'm sorry, I

427
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 13: can barely get it out. Sometimes you got to have

428
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 13: a sense of humor at my house, and this is

429
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 13: a sense of humor. I tell you a story from me.

430
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 13: I turned around and said, well, tell me more. He said, well,

431
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 13: they came to a clipper game and they were trying

432
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 13: to think up some different scenes or acts for the

433
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 13: movie Coming to America, the original one, and said they

434
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 13: saw your hair. And that was when the whole soul

435
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 13: glow thing came in. You know, with I tell you

436
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 13: and I said, Okay, that's a big surprise, but I

437
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 13: can give you whatever I can. I said, yeah, I

438
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 13: wore it, but you know, I was kind of I

439
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 13: was kind of like a baptism into the entertainment industry

440
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 13: of Hollywood for me with the hair thing and the

441
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 13: sol glow and the Jerry curl. You know, all that's tough, man.

442
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: But if you could still have that hair, but you

443
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: had to wear it now since you're bald, when'd you

444
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: go back? Would you do the Jerry curl?

445
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 11: You know?

446
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 13: You know about fashion, you know about style. What goes

447
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 13: around comes around, is coming around. And if I could,

448
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 13: I would because I know I'm seeing the big afro.

449
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 13: When I was in high school, I had a big one. Man.

450
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 13: It was bigger than Michael Jackson's in the seventies. So

451
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 13: that's how big mine was in high school my first

452
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 13: year of college. So I'm assuming yeah, if I to

453
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 13: answer your question, yeah, because I know it's going to

454
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 13: come back around.

455
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: Man. We're talking to Michael Cage, the thunder TV analyst

456
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 2: and fourteenth overall picked by the Clippers in nineteen eighty four.

457
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 2: Once lid the NBA in rebounding. All right, what we

458
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 2: saw last night felt like that was emblematic of what

459
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: you saw all season long with OKC. And I'll start

460
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 2: with SGA because I like the eight assist. It felt

461
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: like he was if he wasn't scoring, he would get

462
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 2: into the paint, take the double team and then kick out.

463
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 2: What else stood out for you with what you saw

464
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: last night? And if you're telling a Pacer fan get

465
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 2: ready to see more of this, what would it be?

466
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 3: Well?

467
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 13: I think what you saw was a total team effort

468
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 13: that got this team sixty eight wins last season. Because

469
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 13: you know, as much as there's a lead dog in SGA, man,

470
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 13: I do it as special man.

471
00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 2: I've been here.

472
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 13: This is my year as a broadcaster for the Thunder.

473
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 13: And when I got here, we had Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook,

474
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 13: you know, that whole group, and that era was kind

475
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 13: of you know at this last year or two run

476
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 13: and then we had to retool this team and get

477
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 13: the Chris Paul and then you know there was an

478
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 13: in between Paul, George Carmelo, Anthony along with Russell Westbrook,

479
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 13: and then came the SGA story and along with him

480
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 13: came you know, a lot of hope, a lot of promise,

481
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 13: a lot of progress, a lot of painstakingly growth. But

482
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 13: what you saw last night, here's the answer, the bread

483
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 13: and butter of your question. This is this team's identity.

484
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 13: What you saw from Aaron Wiggins coming off the bench

485
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 13: getting eighteen points, what you saw from Alex Caruso, you know,

486
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 13: getting twenty points. I mean, that's what that's the identity

487
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 13: of this team. Yeah, you can pick on SGA and say, look,

488
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 13: we're going to try to stop him, or we're gonna

489
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 13: let him score. If you let him score, he'll score seventy.

490
00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: He'll kill you.

491
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 13: Is telling you that now, So you have to respect

492
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 13: you know that, Hey, he's the leading he's the NBA's

493
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 13: leading scorer, NBA's MVP, and he's not afraid of the moment.

494
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 13: But there's a lot of depth to this team. And

495
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 13: maybe you didn't see, you know, maybe you saw a

496
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 13: peekaboo of that on a couple of nights earlier, in

497
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 13: Game one where the thunder led the whole way and

498
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 13: then lost the game at the end on the Halliburtons shot.

499
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 13: But you know the depth of this team, Isaiah Hardenstein,

500
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 13: Shed Holmgren, I mean lou Dort, Caseen Wallace. You know,

501
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 13: I've already mentioned Ac and Aaron Wiggins. It just goes

502
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 13: on and on. Man, this is what this team is about,

503
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 13: and that's what you're probably gonna expect from the for

504
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 13: the rest of the series.

505
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: Who does Sga remind you of on the offensive vent?

506
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 6: You know?

507
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 13: And I say this with respect to him, he reminds

508
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 13: me of a Jordan like player. He's not afraid of contact,

509
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 13: he's not afraid to get in the mid range. He's

510
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 13: got the three points shot know in his pocket, but

511
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 13: he pulls it out timely when he wants to.

512
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 3: You know.

513
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 13: It is in today's modern NBA, you know, it's it's

514
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 13: offices are based around either the deep three point shot

515
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 13: or the deep paint finish. He's brought back the mid range,

516
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 13: you know. And you talk about guys that like made

517
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 13: a living in the mid range, like the DeMar DeRozan's

518
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 13: type players. SGA has really made teams start going, wait

519
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 13: a minute, now, maybe we shouldn't be focusing so much

520
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 13: on three point shooters. Yeah, that's important, that's the important

521
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 13: part of the game. Analytically, I believe that, But that

522
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 13: mid range where he dominates where he is just fun

523
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 13: to watch. That's where he reminds me of Jordan.

524
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's Jordan under the rim, you know, because Mike

525
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 2: played at a different level literally and figuratively. But Sga

526
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: can get his shot, like you watch and you go,

527
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: how does he do it? There's certain guys that you go, Okay,

528
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 2: I get you know that great scores or they get

529
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 2: their shot. There's other guys where you got I don't

530
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 2: get it. But he keeps doing it every single night.

531
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 2: And you know, when you look at consistency at leading

532
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: the league in scoring, does he want to lead the

533
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,199
Speaker 2: league in scoring?

534
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 13: I don't think so. I think what I've seen in

535
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 13: Shay since he got here after we traded for him

536
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 13: after one season in Los Angeles with the Clippers, I

537
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 13: saw a scrawny kid who was just hungry, wanted to win.

538
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 13: And when I've talked to him, when I've seen him,

539
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 13: he's always got that kind of approach to the game.

540
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 13: He's a he's a magnet for friendships. You know, I

541
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 13: heard a story and I knew about it, but I'm

542
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 13: glad it got out about him becoming friends, really close

543
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 13: friends with lou Dort. You know, lose lose first year

544
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 13: with the team as well. Lou didn't have a place

545
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 13: to stay yet, and Shae had just gotten here his

546
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 13: first season. Say, why don't you stay with me. I'm

547
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 13: not married, I don't have any kids. He's married, he has,

548
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 13: you know, beautiful family. Now Shay does. And they were

549
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 13: roommates for a season and then he turn around and

550
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 13: when we drafted Jay Dubb, you know who's going to

551
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 13: be a rising star, a tremendous player so far in

552
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 13: this league. He said, look, because you're my rookie, I

553
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 13: want you to pick me up and take me to

554
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 13: the airport every road trip. See that kind of camaraderie.

555
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: That's pretty cool.

556
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: Man.

557
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: Did you have a Jordan moment?

558
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 3: You know?

559
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: Good question.

560
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 13: Here, here's my Jordan moment. Maybe he wasn't Jordan to

561
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 13: everyone else, but I played with Michael Jordan on the

562
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 13: national team nineteen eighty three Pan Am Games. We wanted

563
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 13: to go medal down in Caracas, Venezuela. He was my

564
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 13: roommate that whole summer, and he was my roommate at

565
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 13: the village doing the PanAm Games and the tryouts that

566
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 13: we had the year earlier, where there was Charles Barkley,

567
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 13: all these you know, Karl Malone, John Stockton, you know,

568
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 13: all these up and coming names. And there was this

569
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 13: kid that everybody wanted to see over on court three.

570
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 13: Now I'm on court one, there's court two, court three,

571
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 13: and he said, this is Jordan kid. You know he's

572
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 13: at North Carolina. You gotta go over there and see him.

573
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 13: I said, I already know about him, but I'm like, going,

574
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 13: after my game is over, I'm going over to court

575
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 13: three and see this guy. And I saw him play,

576
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 13: and I just said, man, he is so far above

577
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 13: the rest of us. And I knew at that moment

578
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 13: in nineteen eighty two, at the tryouts and at the

579
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 13: games in eighty three, this guy was going to be

580
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 13: the truth and he certainly was. Now did we ever

581
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 13: think he eclipsed where he got to. No, but I'm

582
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 13: not surprised because he's handled that kind of fame and

583
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 13: that kind of you know, success really well.

584
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: You seem really mild, mannered, nice cordial. Did you have

585
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: any moments with Larry Bird where he would traysh talk you.

586
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

587
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 13: He just looked at me my rookie year and just said,

588
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 13: you know, you can't stop me. And I said, I know,

589
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 13: there's there's nothing else to say. You're Larry Bird. And

590
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 13: I got that kind of you know, seasoning from Magic

591
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 13: Johnson too, because I was right there in town when

592
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 13: I should see him at grocery stores around LA and

593
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 13: you know, at the gas station sometimes, or we're all

594
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 13: going into practice because we practiced the same practice site

595
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 13: at Loyola Marrimount back in those days, and Magic would

596
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 13: just come up to me and talk to me and

597
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 13: then turn around and kick my butt. I said, I

598
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 13: don't know which one I like. I like the quiet

599
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 13: bird kick your butt thing, then Magic shaking your hands.

600
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 13: You know I'm going at you right.

601
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 7: You know.

602
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 2: Thank you for the stories Michael, and good luck the

603
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: rest of the series there.

604
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 13: Thanks an great, great having me man enjoy the rest

605
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 13: of the playoffs.

606
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 2: That's Michael Cage, the pride of San Diego State, Yes,

607
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: NBA rebounding leader back in nineteen eighty seven, eighty eight. Yeah,

608
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: I had the Jerry Curl. I always remember that. It's

609
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 2: like Michael Cage, Jerry Curl. Those are fun stories, all right.

610
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: Let me see you got a couple of phone calls

611
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: in here, Pete and Iowa, Hi, Pete, what's on your

612
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 2: mind today.

613
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,640

660
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 6: to US men's national team versus Turkey A. US lost,

661
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 6: which was unfortunate. However, Turkey A have two players that

662
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 6: are really really exciting on like the world stage, and

663
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 6: they're both young.

664
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 2: They're both twenty years old.

665
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 6: Arta Goouler plays for Real Madrid and Keenan Yieldez plays

666
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 6: for Juventus. Those are both kids that say, twenty years

667
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 6: from now, you could be like I got to see

668
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 6: them play. They're both they're both really really highlighted. La

669
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 6: Mina Mile gets a lot of attention. Arta Gooler is

670
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 6: right behind him. He's a really exciting player. Got to

671
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 6: see him score that was awesome. And then Portugal beating

672
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 6: Spain in the Nation's League final. That was awesome, especially

673
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 6: because we're not Although was there and he scored as well,

674
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 6: and he you know, he's kind of disappeared off of

675
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 6: the world stage a bit because of the league that

676
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 6: he plays in now. But it was a great reminder

677
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 6: of just how special of a player he still is

678
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:12,280
Speaker 6: at forty.

679
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he took the money and uh, I don't know

680
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 2: how how much money did he make. Does he make

681
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: like one hundred million dollars?

682
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a gajillion dollars.

683

Speaker 6: He signed for like an unbelievable amount of money. He

Speaker 5: Great TV, great drama, their first ever national title and

707
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 5: the other best of the weekend because I don't have

708
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 5: a worst man. I love John McEnroe and tennis never

709
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 5: get rid of him. One of the handful of people

710
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 5: that elevates every broadcast. The bigger, the better, and he's awesome.

711
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: Zack and Knoxville. Hey Zach, what's on your mind today? Oh?

712
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 8: Hey, DP, thanks for taking my call potential poll question

713
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 8: better Kansas State Wildcat Michael Beasley or Jacob Poland the

714
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 8: only time I get to use that reference. Thank you, guys.

715
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 7: But I wanted to ask you about the OKC head

716
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 7: coach Mark. I don't know how to pronounce his last day,

717
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 7: but he doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention,

718
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 7: and I think the run that he is on with

719
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 7: a young team, being young himself, just wants you to

720
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 7: talk about what you think of the job that he's

721
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 7: doing right now.

722
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 2: Wasn't he the coach of the Year the previous year,

723
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: so he has gotten recognition. You know, win a title,

724
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: Win a title and you could kind of be in

725
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 2: the you know, entering the Eric Spolstra type feel. And

726
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: Spolster is going to be a Hall of Fame coach.

727
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 2: He's already a Hall of Fame coach in my mind,

728
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 2: but you know, then you get into that category. You know,

729
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 2: one thing I was thinking about when I watched some

730
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 2: of the tennis towards the end, when you look at Alcarez,

731
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: a lot of athletes build off what has preceded them.

732
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 2: You know, NBA players, you know they may have seen

733
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 2: what happened with that player or that team. And you know,

734
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 2: in tennis Alcarez it felt like he was channeling Rotha Nadal,

735
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 2: but just the spirit of I'm not going to go away,

736
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: Djokovic's composure and then Roger Federer's touch. So when you

737
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: you put the combo platter together, you understand he's twenty

738
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: two years of age and is the future of tennis,

739
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 2: and hopefully Janick Center is as well. And then you

740
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 2: get that rivalry because that's what makes it fun. When

741
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 2: you have somebody where you know, Borg and McEnroe, it

742
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: was just great. I know, we didn't really get to

743
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 2: see somebody stand up to Serena because Serena was so great.

744
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 2: You know, there were players who were really good, but

745
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: you want that rivalry. That's what it's all about, going

746
00:38:39,719 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 2: head to head, toe to toe. I mean That's why

747
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 2: we love Burden Magic. It started in college, kept going

748
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: in the NBA. They did have a couple of head

749
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: to head matchups, you know, for a championship, that's what

750
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: you want, you know, we were looking for that with Jordan.

751
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 2: It just never happened. You know, maybe it was going

752
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 2: to be Malone in Stockton. They had a couple of tries,

753
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: didn't work. Magic at the end of his career wasn't

754
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: ready for Michael. You know, that's the fun part of

755
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: it when you look back and you go, boy, those rights,

756
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: you know Alie and Fraser like he wanted to have that,

757
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 2: and you know Mike Tyson never really had that, you know.

758
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 2: I mean the guys he would fight normally weren't great fighters.

759
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: And then he would fight somebody like Holyfield who was

760
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 2: a great boxer. He couldn't beat him. Lenox Lewis he

761
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 2: wanted no part of because Lennox Lewis was bigger than

762
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: him and a better boxer. Mike was just a highlight. Yeah, Pauling, I.

763
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 5: Went back and looked it up after you said it

764
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 5: about Serena Williams who was her biggest rival, Well, it

765
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 5: was her sister. That's the person who gave her the

766
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 5: most trouble over her career, the second best. This is

767
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 5: wild against Maria Sharapova, who was considered one of the

768
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 5: best in the world. Serena was twenty and two.

769
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 2: In their career. Yeah, I was going to say, wow, yeah,

770
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 2: like we wanted Sharapova. You know, we were hoping for Sharapova.

771
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: That it wasn't realalistic, and Serena knew that everybody wanted Sharapova,

772
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 2: and that's why she went out of her way to

773
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 2: make sure that she didn't just beat her, that she dominated.

774
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 4: Yes, Marvin, it's not like golf when he tried to

775
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 4: make David Duval the heir apparent.

776
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 2: Well, David Duval was the number one player in the world.

777
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 2: I just don't think that he wanted to commit to

778
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 2: what it took to be the number one player in

779
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 2: the world because he went crazy in shape and health.

780
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: And he's not Tiger. This was all Tiger cared about.

781
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 2: This is what Tiger was built to do. David Duval

782
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 2: just became a great golfer and the number one player,

783
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: like Tiger, never wanted to lose it. David Duval then

784
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 2: was like, I just want to be like a normal guy,

785
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: maybe get married and have kids, and Tiger wanted to

786
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 2: be great, still wants to be great. I'm sure, but

787
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 2: I think that singular focus Tiger was comfortable with. I

788
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: don't think David Duvall was. I think David talked about

789
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,879
Speaker 2: they were playing at the British Open, and Tiger ended

790
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: up winning the British Open and beating David. Maybe and

791
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: they had they were flying back on the same private plane.

792
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,600
Speaker 2: So there's there's Tiger with the trophy. You know, David's

793
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:21,879
Speaker 2: sitting across from him.

794
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 7: Uh.

795
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 2: Oh, I can't see your face, David. Let me move

796
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: the trophy over there. Oh, okay, there you are. Yeah.

797
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 2: I'm sure Tiger didn't make any reference having won. No.

798
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: You imagine if Michael Jordan would have done something like that,

799
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 2: like somebody say, you got a parachute because I'm gonna

800
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: get out of this plane. Paul Fine, bamb Hill join us.

801
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: What is the future of college sports? College football? I

802
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: got questions. I don't know if he's got answers. More

803
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: phone calls as well on this Monday back after this
