1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. We thought Rory

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: was ready, We thought he had gotten the monkey off

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: his back. He's the defending Masters champion. He came into

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: today's round with a seven under sixty five. He looked

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: like he was going to cruise with a very very

6
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: comfortable lead at twelve under, and since then disaster Cam

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Young has now taken the lead at eleven under. Rory

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 1: is tied with Sam Burns at ten under, and it

9
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: is a dog fight in the third round at AUGUSTA.

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: Welcome in on this Fox Sports Saturday. It's Bucking fits

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: with Bridget Condon filling in for Jason fitz Fitzy on

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: assignment for the Indoor Football League. Bridget's lovely to have

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: you back.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: Now, boock. I don't know where we should begin. I

15
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: don't want to come out blazing right off the top,

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: but we do have some unfinished business. Should we get

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: into it or do you want to talk about the Masters?

18
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm not. I was not prepared.

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Nobody prepped me. Married and get in my ear and

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: tell me that I was getting ready to get a sabotage.

21
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: See I could have I could have led with this

22
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 2: via text earlier, but I was like, you know what,

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 2: let's just air it out on live radio.

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: Okay, well, you know what, I live for content, So

25
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: if we're going to make it into content, I'm here

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: for what do you got for me? So?

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 2: I loved my time with you. A couple of weeks

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: ago when I filled in, we had such a great,

29
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: you know, a great show. I broke back. I said,

30
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: you know, this was awesome. Thanks for having me. Buck

31
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: is amazing. Couldn't ask for a better co host. Usually

32
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: I'm on with Alex you know, which love her. But

33
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: you know it was, you know, it was like I

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: felt like I was one of the guys with you.

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: You know.

36
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: And then the very next weekend, imagine it's a Saturday afternoon,

37
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: beautiful day here in Los Angeles, me, my husband, my

38
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 2: daughter enjoying a great NFL flag football game put on

39
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: by fanatics when I get a text from an unnamed

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,679
Speaker 2: person that said, Hey, just want to let you know

41
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: you're getting name checked hard on the radio right now.

42
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,519
Speaker 2: I said what I said, Yeah, this guy is talking

43
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 2: about how glad he was to have his normal guy

44
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: back because he didn't he didn't enjoy doing the show

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: with you.

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: Surely that's not true. No way, I.

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: Have the text. I'm literally looking at it right now

48
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: because I wanted to make this right. So I don't know.

49
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a bad way to start

50
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 2: the show, but I just want to let you know

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm here for you.

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: Wh who else have you filled in with? No, No,

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be pigeonholed here. There's no way

54
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: that I'm just getting hit with some guy on the radio.

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: No way, this is me.

56
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: I've not worked with another man.

57
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, wait, Mary Ian, no support, There's no way.

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I thoroughly enjoyed doing the show with Bridget a couple

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: of weeks ago.

60
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: We're talking ay right now, trying to get to the

61
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 3: bottom of it, because I don't I don't remember you

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: saying that either.

63
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: Come on podcast, somebody give me a lifeline here. There's

64
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: no way that I took out Bridge at Condon Public.

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: It was clear in his comments.

66
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 4: Instead of throwing you a lifeline, I'm gonna go ahead

67
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: and pull that life raft back even further because I

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 4: missed the show a couple of weeks ago, but I

69
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 4: only missed the update parts I did the show that

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: I normally do filling it, I mean doing my my

71
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: normal show right after this, So I walk into the

72
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 4: end of Bucking Fits, in which I hear Buck just lauding,

73
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 4: Oh my god, thank you.

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: So much for filling it on your update shifts?

75
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: Was it?

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: What a breath of fresh air?

77
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: No shine and not.

78
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: A close talk to you about you're.

79
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: Both getting like I think you're taking offense to underlying

80
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 3: because he didn't directly say he didn't like either of you.

81
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: He was just gassing up the people that were on.

82
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: The compliment goes along left.

83
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: But the thing is, we're here other times we don't hear.

84
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: There's no reverse.

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: Gameta thrown unintentionally. Whether it's thrown intentionally or not, I'm

86
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: not interested on my Saturday afternoons to be getting some shade.

87
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe that someone I love you get out Yeah, yeah, anyways,

88
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: do you want to talk about the show or should we?

89
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,679
Speaker 5: Should?

90
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: We just we just's never here anymore And I'm the

91
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: one who gets buried on all of this. Let Fitz

92
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: take some correctly, all right. I show up to work,

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: for God's sakes, But.

94
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 2: You're not happy about being at work with select crew.

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: That's not fun. It okay? Half of it's true, all right,

96
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: I did take out well, I did not take out

97
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 1: Martin publicly. I did gas up Mancy, who was filling

98
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,359
Speaker 1: in on the updates for Martin, that I remember doing

99
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,679
Speaker 1: clear as day. I have never said a sideways word

100
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: about Bridget.

101
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: We find the tapes exactly. What you kind of said

102
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 2: was that you were glad that, and you were saying,

103
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: not that I don't like Bridget, but I'm glad that.

104
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: Mary.

105
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: Thank you.

106
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 3: Wait, what's wrong with that?

107
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: That?

108
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 2: That's like you didn't You didn't need to say that.

109
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 3: You could have just I don't not like Bridget, I'm

110
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: glad you walk into the room.

111

113
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,040

114
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: wasn't being authentic because I hate fits.

115
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:38,680

00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:39,080

00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio?

134
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,320

137
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: and everybody listening in that area. Okay. Bridget Condon is

138
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: my preferred co host when Jason Fitz is not available

139
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: to host the show that we are regularly paid to host.

140
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: She's my favorite filling for all time.

141
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: For the hundred people take it with a grin of salt.

142
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: For the five hundred people who can't see him crossing

143
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: his fingers underneath the table.

144
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: I know I'm standing up. I'm pacing in my office

145
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm upset.

146
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: You didn't know that this was going to hit you.

147
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: I should have warned you. But this is better.

148
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,679
Speaker 1: No, this is garbage because it's not true. These are

149
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: these are erroneous allegations. And I have never said anything

150
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: other than nice things. You missed the show or not

151
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: missed the show. You're not regularly on the show. But

152
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: Steve Hartman filled in with me recently, and I remember

153
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: texting Scott Shapira'll be like, yeah, be great to have

154
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: Bridgie back. We could talk pall. It'd be awesome.

155
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 5: O like Steve.

156
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh my god, now Steve is catching straight.

157
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I got a better chance with Steve than I do

158
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: with Bridge.

159
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god. I'm fired up right now. I'm on

160
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: my third coffee of the day and that means six

161
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: espresso shots. I don't have coffee. I have two espresso

162
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: shots over ice because that's the only way to do it.

163
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: And I'm on my third version of that. So if

164
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: you you came in here wanting to fight, absolutely okay.

165
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: Good. I'm glad, glad. We all of our cards are

166
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: on the table now and we can do the radio

167
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: show at this point in time.

168
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: But I'm so happy to be here. Thank you so

169
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 2: much for having me on the show.

170
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: You're sure, because you sound like a hostage. Now you

171
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: sound like a hostage. No.

172
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 2: Actually, we have a lot of fun things to talk about,

173
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 2: and I have some good, good takes for you, Buck.

174
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: I honestly prep harder than any other assignment when I'm

175
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: working with you, because I remember the first time you

176
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: had me on your show like five years ago. I

177
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: like didn't know I was doing it until I like

178
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: got there and you asked me some questions. I had

179
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: no idea what you were talking about because you were

180
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: asking me about the Titans, and at that point I

181
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 2: didn't cover the Titans. And I was like, I'll never

182
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: let this guy think I'm an idiot again. So just

183
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: want you to know that I'm I'm prepared, and I'm ready.

184
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: I've never see these these are assumptions that you're making.

185
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,079
Speaker 1: I've never once thought or said anywhere that I don't

186
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: completely respect your football acumen. In fact, you know more

187
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: about football than I do, because you're covering thirty two

188
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: teams on a regular basis. I'm scrolling around with this one.

189
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: They can't win a football game.

190
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: Now, he's just trying to be nice.

191
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: No, I mean it's accurate. Said. They've been an anchor

192
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: around my neck for ten years at this point. That's

193
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: why I am the way that I am. You want

194
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: to you want to dive into the psychology of me.

195
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: We start with the.

196
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 3: Titans high pitched, but he's been covering the Titans so

197
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,119
Speaker 3: long it got deep.

198
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: Truly, like, I mean, they hit me harder than puberty did.

199
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 2: Srory I think just took the lead. Am I looking

200
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: at this correctly or tied in first?

201
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 6: Now?

202
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing. Okay, I have been flying blind

203
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: on The Masters all day because I don't have a TV.

204
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: You don't have cable. What's going on?

205
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: I have a TV, I have cable, I have all

206
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 1: of these.

207
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: You need some money to pay for your subscription. I

208
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: got you boom.

209
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: I mean I probably should. They're charging like four hundred

210
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,359
Speaker 1: dollars a month for this second table package. It's outrageous.

211
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: So I go to turn on the Master's coverage today,

212
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: which is on CBS, and I am greeted. And I

213
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: will not take out my cable provider publicly, because I'm

214
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: not sure if they're a sponsor anywhere, although I am tempted.

215
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: This channel that I'm being greeted with, it's CBS, it's

216
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: the Masters, and I am seeing a message from my

217
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: cable provider due to you know, some kind of issue

218
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: with scripts and a failed negotiation on our very very

219
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: reasonable offer that they wanted to charge you more money

220
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: for you will not be able to receive your regularly

221
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: scheduled programming, which is the damn Masters today.

222
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: You can do that, yeah, but not during Master's weekend.

223
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: Rageous, outrageous. I've been refreshing my phone like an addict. Kids.

224
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: But I'm also just like you're a millennial, right, I

225
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: believe you're younger than me.

226
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm thirty two.

227
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, I'm thirty two too. When's your birthday?

228
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: July?

229
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I guess you're older than me. Who this July?

230
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: What?

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 2: By the way, I'm asking July what?

232
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: July twentieth?

233
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: Wow, my husband is July twenty one. So you're a cancer.

234
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: So we actually get along well Because I'm a scorpio, I.

235
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: Would say that we get along swimmingly until you try

236
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: to start a fight.

237
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: With me to show Anyways, what I was saying is

238
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: you're a millennial. Why don't you have YouTube TV? Who

239
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: has cable?

240
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: Help me? Because I can write it off.

241
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 2: You can't write off YouTube TV.

242
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: I mean maybe I could, but I'm not. I don't

243
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: want to change now I've got all this equipment.

244
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you would be able to watch the Masters

245
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 2: if you had YouTube TV, so it's no hourly.

246
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Aware of that, and now I'm probably going to have

247
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: to switch from YouTube TV just because I'm annoyed, just

248
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: because I'm irritated.

249
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I just feel like you could figure out

250
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 2: a way to get it on the TV. But I'll

251
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: let you know what's going on. Rory is back in

252
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: the lead, tied with Young and about two. All right,

253
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: let's see where this lands. Anyways, though, cognitive appraisal. Are

254
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 2: you going to get into this.

255
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: Cognitive appraisal? Walk me through it?

256
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 2: So that is Rory's thinking. Okay, so visualizing worst case

257
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 2: scenarios is what he does. Right, Most athletes picture the

258
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: best case scenario. The famous video of Mike McDonald's telling

259
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: his players, imagine if it's January, we're hosting an NFC

260
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: title game, it's raining, and nobody cares about us, and

261
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: like we go on to win the Super Bowl, you know,

262
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 2: and then they won the Super Bowl. Well, for Rory,

263
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: it's the opposite. He visualizes the worst case scenarios so

264
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 2: that he's prepared for the adversity when it hits. And honestly,

265
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: this has been incredible to hear from an athlete like himself,

266
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 2: great for people like me. I started to really think

267
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 2: I needed to change and be more positive. One of

268
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: my New Year's resolutions was to be more positive. But

269
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 2: now hearing this from Rory mcelrory, uh, it's given me

270
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: a reason to quit being positive because if he doesn't

271
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: have to be positive, why do I?

272
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: Well? And you now, I don't know how regularly you're

273
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: doing this, but you're you're running in half marathons recently.

274
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: I did. I did two weeks ago. Thank you so

275
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:50,719
Speaker 2: much for saying congrats.

276
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: No, absolutely see, I pay attention. I'm a I'm a

277
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: considerate friend. Despite what the what the three of you

278
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: trying to paint me as I uh? In your in

279
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: your preparation for that and your training for that. Do

280
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: you I mean do you do you have to like

281
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: coach yourself up mentally because that was what's.

282
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Going through my head. Don't stop, you piece of don't

283
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: stop you are so fat. Keep going. I'm just kidding.

284
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: I'm trying to be more positive because I'm raising three,

285
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm raising a daughter, and I'm like, I can't say

286
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 2: this stuff. I want her to have a normal, normal life.

287
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: But for myself, it absolutely is you're so slow, keep going,

288
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: don't quit, you're a quitter.

289
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: Well, okay, so how do you how would that change

290
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: your approach and how you would mentally have to handle

291
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: something like a half marathon, because the mental, honest to god,

292
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: it would be I mean, it would be obviously a

293
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: physical battle. If you haven't done anything like that in

294
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: your life, I'm sure that's very very taxic.

295
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 2: Totally mental.

296
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it has to be such a huge

297
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: part of the battle.

298
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is the battle. I think anybody I say

299
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: this to anyone. I've ran a marathon before too, and

300
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: I like, I'm one of those people who hate running.

301
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: I can't run a mile unless i'm training for something, right, Like,

302
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: this is not something that comes to me. I think

303
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: if anybody put in the effort to train and prepare

304
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: and go out there and run every day or five

305
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: days a week, you'll be able to do it, because

306
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: it's just about going through the motions and then your

307
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: mind starts to believe, okay, one mile is equivalent to

308
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: ten miles, and then we're just going out for a

309
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: ten mile run, which used to feel like a one

310
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: mile run. I don't know if I'm making sense, but honestly.

311
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 6: From the Fox Sports studio, I.

312
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 2: Don't know what else to say.

313
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 1: Well, I uh, I mean, that's unfortunate because we have

314
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: two hours and forty five minutes left or one hour

315
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: and forty five minutes left together, although you know at

316
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: this point we could do it extra hour either way.

348
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: on assignment for the Indoor Football League. Frozen Grapes or

349
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: no frozen Gripes for Bridge of Condon.

350
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: I thought you were going to say like, oh, this

351
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: is a great thing and it would begin the better

352
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: part of our friendship. But when I heard that you

353
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 2: hated frozen grapes, I was like, of course he does.

354
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: But if I also just want to say, I know

355
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 2: you don't have kids, hopefully that's in I mean not hopefully,

356
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: whether that's in your future or not.

357
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: I want you to know thank you for not putting

358
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: on the mother.

359
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 2: Whatever you want to do, I'm not going to judge.

360
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: I don't think that you should give a baby a

361
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: frozen grape unless you want to kill them. Babies can't

362
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: have frozen grapes. Yeah yeah, I mean unlessen.

363
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: To now say something and that I thank you for

364
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: all your help, and.

365
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: You won't be my first call for babysitting. But you're

366
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 2: great with other things, am I? Because you're great radio

367
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: show host?

368
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, so welcome back.

369
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: I realized we didn't even talk about the Masters. Sorry

370
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 2: about that to everybody tuning in, because we were just arguing.

371
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: So that's my bad.

372
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 1: You know what, I think it makes for a better show.

373
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: We did a little Master's It was Master's adjacent.

374
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: Okay is in the lead by himself right now for

375
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: anybody keeping tabs, which is great.

376
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: Great for me, Martin. We'll do a wonderful job. He'll

377
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: read the best update that anybody's ever read in his

378
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: entire life in five minutes from now. Is that good

379
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: enough for you? Martin? My god?

380
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 5: He said the same thing about Monsey using the same script.

381
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,120
Speaker 1: Hmmm, you know what, I'm going to deal with you later,

382
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: at a later date, Okay, because you're you're out here

383
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: selling me out during the commercial breaks. You're you agent

384
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: of chaos back there, Mary.

385
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 5: Why are you lying on my name right now?

386
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Got you lying? Nothing has ever been more true in

387
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: my entire life.

388
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: Should we talk about sports?

389
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: We should so. The NBA is taking its next steps

390
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: towards addressing the tanking problem. We understand what the Washington

391
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: Wizards have been all season long. The Indiana Pacers are

392
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: one of these organizations who have said staunchly at every

393
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: turn that they're not tanking, even though it would make

394
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: more sense for them under the current construct. But the

395
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: NBA is at least trying to address the optics of this,

396
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: and this week or in the past couple of days,

397
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: the league bridget presented three separate proposals to their Board

398
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: of governors with the aim of discouraging teams from tanking.

399
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Sham Sharani at ESPN put this out. Apparently they're going

400
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: to have a formal vote that could happen as soon

401
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: as next month. One of the proposals would expand the

402
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: draft lottery from fourteen to eighteen teams and adding the

403
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: seventh and eight seeds from each conference. The bottom ten

404
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: teams would receive equal odds eight percent for the number

405
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: one overall pick. You've got another proposal that goes even further,

406
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,439
Speaker 1: which it would expand the lottery to twenty two teams,

407
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: including play in clubs and first round playoff exits, and

408
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: that model would base lottery position on a two year

409
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: record and include a minimum win threshold to prevent extreme losing.

410
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: The third of these proposals expands the lottery to eighteen

411
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: teams just like the first, but flattens the odds among

412
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: the bottom five while ensuring that none of those teams

413
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: could fall lower than tenth in the draft order. Now,

414
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: these are a couple of different solutions that are being proposed.

415
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: Do we think, bridget that it addresses the crux of

416
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: the issue that is seeming that the NBA at least

417
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 1: seems like they're trying to focus their full attention on,

418
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: even if the tanking problem is not as widespread as

419
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the larger or general public

420
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: might think it actually is.

421
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 2: I'm happy that the NBA is finally starting to come

422
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: up with plans of what to do. I do believe

423
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: tanking is a real issue, and we've seen it so often.

424
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 2: And you hear stories of lif little kids finally getting

425
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: to go to their first NBA game. They're huge fans

426
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 2: of Lebron James. They go Lebron James isn't playing, not

427
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 2: because he's hurt, just because he wants to take a

428
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: veteran rest day. I think the problem with these three

429
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: scenarios that they proposed is none of them work. I

430
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,400
Speaker 2: don't think there's a solution, but I.

431
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: Think with all of these none of them are good.

432
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I told you. I'm on a six shot

433
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: of espresso. But they're rewarding middle tier teams, so that

434
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: doesn't really make sense either. You're saying, don't be bad,

435
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: just be mediocre. How does that help? We want to

436
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: see greatness. And I'm gonna say what the solution is,

437
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: but the NBA is never gonna do it because we've

438
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: gotten this far and money, money, money, money is what talks.

439
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: But eighty two games is way too many. You need

440
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: to make it. I don't know, sixty games, then we'll

441
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 2: have a different situation. The reason why the NFL is

442
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: so awesome is because it's less than two games, you know,

443
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: like one day. Hopefully it stays under twenty forever. But

444
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: I know they keep trying to add games, but every

445
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: single game matters so much in playoff situation. In you know,

446
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: if a player gets hurt and he misses a game,

447
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: it's so drastic. In the NBA, you don't have that

448
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: kind of issue. You can miss to three weeks and

449
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: it's fine.

450
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's one of those things where the solution

451
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 1: is obvious to everybody except the people making the decisions, right,

452
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: because I think we're I mean, I'm in such agreement

453
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: with you, and I do like basketball. I will probably

454
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, Bridget, how many regular season NBA games

455
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: start to finish? Would you say you watch no in

456
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: a regular season?

457
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: No, I don't start until April, which is so bad.

458
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: We'll I'll say the beginning of the season. Probably the

459
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: beginning of the season, you have the hype, the excitement,

460
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 2: and then on the holidays, you know, Christmas Day, you're

461
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: watching the NBA. Well, now we have the NFL, so

462
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 2: not so much anymore.

463
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: But I watch those stinky NFL Netflix. When I watched

464
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: the NBA games, right, now.

465
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: Well, it's just that's the reality, and NFL is king,

466
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: and maybe the NBA should look at why. And it's

467
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: because there's so much fewer. But again, you can sell

468
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: tickets to eighty two games. They're never going to cut it.

469
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: Why would they? Do they really care about whether the

470
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: product is good or not. People are still going to go.

471
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing. Like this gets into a

472
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: larger conversation. And I was I was having this conversation

473
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: with somebody because I was driving past the new Titan

474
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,640
Speaker 1: Stadium that they're building here in Nashville. It's ten thousand

475
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: seats smaller than the old, the old Nissan Stadium, which

476
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: is where they currently play. And I was explaining to

477
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: this person, no, they're people don't People aren't going to

478
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: games more. The experience at home has become so great

479
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: that the in arena customer, I'm not going to say

480
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: that they don't matter, but they matter significantly less than

481
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: all of the people that they can still reach, the

482
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: millions of people who are watching at bars, rest and

483
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: the comfort of their homes, whatever the case may be.

484
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of changed the model of how they monetize

485
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: these things as a professional sports league now football, to

486
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: your point, is obviously different, a much smaller inventory. We

487
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 1: can have more of these conversations as the show rolls along,

488
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: but I do want Martin to get us caught up

489
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: on what's happening, especially at a ghost Right now.

490
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 4: Roy McElroy back in sole possession of first place. He's

491
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 4: got the lead. I should say, he's twelve under as

492
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 4: he's about to put this in here. Cam Young two,

493
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 4: he's in second place with eleven under. Sam Burns is

494
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 4: third at ten, Shane Lowie fourth, and you got two

495
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 4: guys tied at fifth, Justin Roseen, Jason Day three, tied

496
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 4: at seven. Scotti Scheffler was seven under today. He shot

497
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: a sixty five in the third round.

498
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: So I did.

499
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: Cam Young by the way, now again in second place,

500
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 4: but roared back to really just challenge Rory. Rory even today.

501
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 4: I saw a stat earlier. He's like one of the

502
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 4: few golfers. Yeah, he and Tommy Fleetwood are the He Tommy.

503
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: Fleefood and Chris got her up.

504
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 4: With the three golfers in the top twenty, who are

505
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: you know, not under par So Rory really just kind

506
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 4: of tried to keep pace today. In Major League Baseball,

507
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 4: the bottom of the seventh inning. The Reds lead the

508
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 4: Angels five to three. The bottom of the seventh inning

509
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 4: as well, the A's lead the Mets seven to six.

510
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 4: Top of the second the Yankees lead the Rays one

511
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 4: to nothing. NHL SCORESS got a ton of games. The

512
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 4: Kings lead the Oilers won nothing. Two thirty left in

513
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 4: the third period. They are five minutes left in the

514
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: second period. The Red Wings with a two to one

515
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 4: lead over the Devils. Saint Louis leads Chicago three to two,

516
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 4: six thirty left in the second period. Four minutes left

517
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 4: in the second period. Nashville leeds Minnesota two nothing. Scoreless

518
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 4: between the Rangers and the Stars, the Hurricanes leading to

519
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 4: Mammoth two to nothing, five minutes left in the second period.

520
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 4: Mammoth stealed a playoff berth in just their second season.

521
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 4: Dufty May has agreed to a new con track the

522
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 4: University of Michigan men's basketball head coach going to remain

523
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 4: in that position for quote many years to come, per

524
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: Athletic Director Award Manuel. That was a comment made during

525
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 4: the celebrations celebrating Michigan's national championship in men's basketball. Bucking

526
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 4: bridget back to you.

527
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: She is, Bridget Connon. I'm Buck Rising hanging out here

528
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: with you on this Fox Sports Saturday. I appreciate Martin

529
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: forgetting us caught up. Excellent job, Martin, well done. Best

530
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: update I've ever heard in my entire life. See everybody's happy.

531
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: Michael Malone is happy because he is the new North

532
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: Carolina basketball coach. And this has been such a fascinating

533
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: story from my standpoint. Bridget, I don't know how big

534
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: a college basketball fan you are.

535
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 2: So I used to cover Carolina. I cover Carolina Duke

536
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 2: and NC State for four years. So I was there

537
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 2: during the Zion Williamson she blow up situation, when coach

538
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: k retired and when Roy Williams retired. So I have

539
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: always paid attention to UNC and Duke very heavily, and

540
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: so this whole situation is really fascinating to me. It's

541
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: just the more UNC Athletics makes these moves, the more

542
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 2: I just look at them as a professional organization. Right,

543
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 2: They're no longer a college team, just going out and

544
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: getting Bill Belichick. Even going back to when they got

545
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 2: Mac Brown, that was the first move they made where

546
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, this program is different than just your

547
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 2: ordinary college athletics program, and now going out and getting

548
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: another former NBA coach, a coach who won an NBA

549
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 2: championship three years ago. It just says that they are

550
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: all in. I'm just curious where they get this money from.

551
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 2: More than fifty million over six years, one of the

552
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 2: highest coaches in terms of salary, and it's his first

553
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 2: head college coaching job. Of as I mentioned, he was

554
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: with the Nuggets for many years, ten or eleven seasons

555
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen to twenty twenty five, won the championship in

556
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. If I'm a college player, I'm excited

557
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: because this is a blueprint for how you get to

558
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 2: the league.

559
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: Right.

560
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: He knows what it takes. He knows the kind of

561
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: physical attributes you'll need to survive in the NBA. He

562
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: knows he has the contacts. He has, you know, connections

563
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 2: with agents and all these people. That is great. It's

564
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: just going to be interesting to me how he deals

565
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: with nil the recruiting in the portal system, which has

566
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 2: been issues for some of these great older coaches. I'm

567
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: not gonna say he's like old, but you know what

568
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 2: I'm saying, Like it's just a it's a different kind

569
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 2: of situation for these coaches, especially coming from the NBA.

570
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Well, and it's it's a different job right in the

571
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: nil transfer portal era, Which is why I think you

572
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: can in this in this kind of a situation. I

573
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't say that, I wouldn't make it a blanket statement, right,

574
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: but I think that you can go out and hire

575
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: a coach of a certain caliber. Mike Malone is a

576
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: champion in professional basketball. He is absolutely he would have

577
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: been viable for any NBA opening when NBA coaches or

578
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: when NBA organizations start to change change their coaches, which

579
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: is coming up here in the not too distant future,

580
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: at the end of the regular season. For a lot

581
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: of these clubs, it was it was an interesting side,

582
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: not even a side, but like the way that this

583
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: was covered was almost like North Carolina is settling for

584
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Mike Malone in at least a lot of the coverage

585
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: that I saw, And I couldn't wrap my head around

586
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: it because Mike Malone is a very accomplished coach. He's

587
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: not some schlub.

588
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: Who did they want who did they want them to get? Well,

589
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: that's the thing, because everyone I talked to you was ecstatic.

590
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: The the other. Well, I think it's more about every

591
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: everyone you everyone you talk to, as far as people

592
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: in that area. Yeah, okay, that makes sense because nationally

593
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: we understand that there are different levels of dialogue than

594
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: there are locally. Right, locally, this can make a lot

595
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: more sense than people can have a different reaction than

596
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: what seemed to be the national reaction of what are

597
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: they doing doing hiring Mike Malone when he's never coached

598
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: in college and I'm trying to figure out why the

599
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: hell does that matter in a time where I'm not

600
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: saying that the only recruiting that you have to do

601
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: at this stage of college coaching is do I have

602
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: a bigger checkbook than the other guy? But it's not

603
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: nearly the kind of pound the pavement, sit in the

604
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 1: living rooms, go around and eat all these different dinners,

605
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: with all these different recruits in their families type of

606
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: job than it was ten twenty five years ago. Why

607
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: can't Mike Malone operates at as high a level as

608
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: anybody else in this spectrum and also get these guys

609
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: more ready for the next level because he's not just

610
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: rolling the ball out there the way that some of

611
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: these college programs do. He's actually running plays and concepts

612
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 1: and getting dudes ready for the NBA.

613
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 2: And here's the other thing. You look at some of

614
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 2: these big time college coaches, like for example, Roy Williams

615
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 2: coach K the reason why they retired was because they

616
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 2: didn't want to deal with this. They don't want to

617
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: deal with the recruiting, the NIL, all of those, all

618
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: of the transfer portal, all of that. So a lot

619
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: of these coaches who, yeah, maybe have been a college

620
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 2: coach for five, ten, fifteen years, have more experience as

621
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 2: a college coach, but they don't have much experience dealing

622
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 2: with the transfer portal. That's what five years old, it's not.

623
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: It hasn't been around a long time with NIL. When

624
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: did NIL come twenty twenty? Like this? These are fairly

625
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: new concepts that these coaches that have long time been

626
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: in college are still having to get used to. So

627
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 2: why do you think an NBA guy can't get used

628
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: to it? I think it's going to be an adjustment,

629
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,840
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's something that he won't be

630
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: able to master.

639
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: Athletic about John Gruden and the level of dysfunction that

640
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders organization was experienced at the time, and talk

641
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: about why it's just now coming to light. She's Bridge

Speaker 1: listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Welcome back to the

00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: show on this Fox Sports Saturday. She's Bridge of Condon.

645
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm Buck Rising, hanging out here with you. We got

646
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: Mary and I and holding it down Martin two in La.

647
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: Appreciate them from making the show happen. So for some reason,

648
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: this week in The Athletic there was a long form

649
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: piece by Zach Kiefer, who does excellent work longtime Colt's

650
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: reporter has since turned into a national NFL columnist for

651
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: the Athletic, but this was some very very detailed reporting,

652
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: long form reporting on the end of John Cruden's time

653
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: with the Las Vegas Raiders, which I did not expect

654
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: to be reading about this week, and we understand why

655
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: John Gruden is no longer the coach of the Las

656
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, and it's ironically enough, not because of anything

657
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: that you learned from this piece. It's because of those

658
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: emails that were leaked where he was sending homophobic messages,

659
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: where he was saying very salacious and problematic things, both

660
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: on the racial side. I mentioned the homophobia component of it.

661
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: There was just a lot of bad behavior that he

662
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: was comfortable putting in his emails at the time that

663
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: were published and were leaked in communications that the league did,

664
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: especially referencing Roger Goodell as the league's commissioner. John Gruden

665
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: in an active lawsuit as a matter of fact, as

666
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: far as the what was available, whether he was blackmailed,

667
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: and a lot of this stuff is going to come

668
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: out in discovery over the course of the next couple

669
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: months as this case continues years later to be litigated.

670
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: So maybe that's why we're reading it this week, Bridget.

671
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of details in there about the

672
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: coach himself and about how the culture that he was

673
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: brought in there and paid a significant amount of money

674
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: to create kind of caved in on itself in a

675
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: number of different ways. Assuming I assume that you've read

676
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: the bulk of the piece, if not the entire piece

677
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: at this point. Again, well done by Zach Kiefer for

678
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: some details that haven't been out there before. What was

679
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: the most damning thing you found the most damning detail

680
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: you found in this article on the Athletic about John.

681
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 2: Grud Yeah, it was a fantastic article. I think just

682
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: the fact that Mark Davis pursued him for six years

683
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 2: or ten years and then gave him a ten year

684
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 2: contract for one hundred million dollars was insane. The end

685
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: of the article really stoock out to me, and I

686
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 2: want to read it to you. They're talking about his

687
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: position as not only the head coach, but he really

688
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: had ownership over the general manager, right like anybody that

689
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: he wanted. It was so interesting when they talked about scouting,

690
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: the fact, I mean, there's so many things now that

691
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 2: are coming back to me when we talk about the

692
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: draft and they had two different draft boards, Like the

693
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: head coach and all the coaches had a draft board,

694
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 2: and then the scouting department had a second draft board,

695
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,959
Speaker 2: which is not normal. You usually come up with one

696
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 2: draft board, your scouts, your coaches, everybody's on the same page.

697
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: And they said that John Gruden, if there was a

698
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 2: player that the scouts were really high on, if he

699
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: didn't like him, he would ask like an assistant to

700
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 2: compile a bunch of videos of the specific player's worst moments.

701
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 2: And that is just crazy. It's almost like, why are

702
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 2: you even work Why do you even have a scouting

703
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,919
Speaker 2: department if you're going to go in there and tell

704
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: them that what they're doing isn't correct and not good enough.

705
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 2: But then at the end, what really stuck out to

706
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 2: me was the last paragraph where they're quoting mayok, excuse

707
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: me and says that I asked him, how many teams

708
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 2: do you really worry about on an annual basis? He

709
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: thought for a second and said six or seven? He

710
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: said why? He said, well, the other twenty five are

711
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,280
Speaker 2: going to eliminate themselves. And that is so true, especially

712
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 2: with the NFL, and I think we've seen it with

713
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 2: the Raiders over the I don't even know how long

714
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 2: it's been going on, but these situations that they find

715
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: themselves in are only brought on by themselves.

716
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: Well, and I mentioned. We were joking at the start

717
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: of the show about the way that the organization that

718
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: I cover, the Tennessee Titans, has aged me over the

719
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: course of this. I mean, this is coming up on

720
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: my tenth season covering them, and they have been very

721
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: competitive for a period of time, and then they cratered

722
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: themselves in ways that felt unthinkable. I mean, before the

723
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 1: Bengals and Joe Burrow arrived on the scene in the AFC,

724
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: it felt like the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens,

725
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, and I would have put the Tennessee

726
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: Titans as one of these contending teams in the mix

727
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,120
Speaker 1: before the Joe Burrow phenomenon took hold, and you saw

728
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati kind of edge a team like Tennessee out because

729
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 1: they had the better quarterback situation. They made it to

730
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl at the expense of Tennessee, who was

731
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: the number one seed that year that they ended up

732
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: the Bengals losing to the Rams in twenty twenty one.

733
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: And I come back to the idea that bad organizations

734
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: stay bad for a reason, and sometimes you get lucky

735
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: with some pieces and parts coming together in ways that

736
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 1: you didn't really plan for and that covers up some

737
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: of the problems, some of the dysfunction that you have.

738
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: And I'd go to two paragraphs ahead of the paragraph

739
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: that you just read from Bridget where they're talking about

740
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: and they're quoting anonymous sources here in the piece by

741
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: Zach Kiefer, Antonio Pierce was given a crap roster. Pete

742
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: Carroll was given a crap roster. The underlying issue is

743
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: that Mark talking about Mark Davis, the owner here, has

744
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: never really respected the general manager position. He let Gruden

745
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: pick Mayock, then he let Josh McDaniels pick his best

746
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: friend as general manager. Dave Ziggler, by the way, is

747
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: here in Tennessee's an assistant GM here. Now he let Tom.

748
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: The quote goes on to say, now he lets Tom

749
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: Brady do the same thing with spy Tech, which is

750
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: a dig at John spy Tech, who's getting ready to

751
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 1: make the number one overall pick here. So we don't

752
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: know how the Tom Brady John Spy Tech now Clint

753
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: Coopiak as the head coach situation is going to go.

754
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: All I know is that this organization in the Raiders,

755
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: whether they're in localand whether they're in Las Vegas run

756
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: by the Davis family has been the stuff of nightmares

757
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: for damn near two decades. Fitzi is regularly on this show,

758
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: Bridget He's a diehard Raiders fan. He's one of the

759
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: most tortured sports fans I know because of this organization.

760
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: And I'm looking around and saying, yes, there are some

761
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: problems with the way that John Gruden does business in

762
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: this second iteration of him, But where who is allowing

763
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: John Gruden that leash well, that market ownership.

764
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: That's the problem. I say this with NFL teams when

765
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 2: people always ask me about how it works behind the scenes.

766
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: You have these business men, these billionaires running organizations. How

767
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 2: did they become billionaires? Because they're quick, they're smart, they

768
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,880
Speaker 2: get reaction, they get results quickly. Right And in business

769
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 2: it's very well, I'm saying, like in their business like,

770
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 2: that's how they became billionaires, right, Like, that is how

771
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: it works in the business world. You put in, you

772
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: come up with a plan, you hire certain people, and

773
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 2: you work hard and you see the results. That is

774
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: not how the NFL works, and I think it's very hard.

775
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 2: I've covered the Carolina Panthers for many years and David

776
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 2: Tepper is one of the owners that come to mind

777
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 2: when I talk about this. It is very hard for

778
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: people who find success in the business world to then

779
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: come into the NFL world and do xyz that they're

780
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 2: told to do, because most of them have never ran

781
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 2: an NFL team before, and they don't see the results.

782
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 2: And then we see this domino effect of them making

783
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 2: rash decisions that in turn are probably making the situation

784
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 2: even worse. And that's because people want these immediate results.

785
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: It's not going to happen in the NFL well.

786
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: And the other component of this is and it's not

787
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: a lot of NFL owners, in fact, I'd say it's

788
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: probably a little less than a third who are like

789
00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: Mark Davis in the sense that they've inherited their ownership

790
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 1: stake in their team, whether it be Gayle Benson with

791
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: the Saints and obviously getting the team from her husband

792
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: Amy Adams strunk here in Tennessee, but Adams chas but

793
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: Adams one of the founding members of the AFL who

794
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: then helped form the NFL as we know it today. Right,

795
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of inherited situations. The Colts carly Ers Gordon.

796
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: Has been yeah, but come on, you don't see Mark

797
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 2: Davis on the sideline with a clipboard in a headset.

798
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm not comparing all of them. I'm not trying to

799
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: lump all of them in. I'm just saying that there

800
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of different people who don't have that

801
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: kind of experience that are making these decisions at the

802
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: top of the heap stick. Here on Fox Sports Radio,

803
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: we'll keep talking about it. You're listening to Fox Sports

804
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: Welcome back on this Fox Sports Saturday. She's Bridge of

805
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: Condon hanging out here with us in for Jason fitz

806
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 1: Fits the on assignment for the Indoor Football League. The

807
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: NFL season for a handful of teams is already underway.

808
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: Bridget here in Tennessee and in nine other markets, practice

809
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: started essentially Phase one, or i guess the pre phase

810
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: one of the offseason program for ten clubs who do

811
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: have new head coaches, got them the opportunity to get

812
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: a head start, get out on the field early, start

813
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: to develop some team chemistry with the vets ahead of

814
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: all of these teams getting ready to add new players

815
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: via the NFL Draft. So we still have a handful

816
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: of transactions that are going and there will be more,

817
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: of course, there's always a post draft wave of free agency.

818
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: But one of the news items as we were wrapping

819
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: up the week is that the Eagles are adding additional

820
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver depth and they traded for Dante Wicks, who

821
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: was formerly of the Green Bay Packers. So the Eagles

822
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,439
Speaker 1: sent the Packers a twenty twenty sixth fifth round pick

823
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: and a twenty twenty seven sixth round pick in exchange

824
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: for Dantavian Wicks, who is going into the final year

825
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: of his rookie contract. Now, in one world, we could

826
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: just talk about Dontavian Wicks and the player that Philadelphia

827
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: is adding, But is there any conversation to be had

828
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: about any transaction that Philly makes without bringing up AJ

829
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: Brown Because that's immediately where everybody started to jump. Yeah.

830
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I think that is the more important story and

831
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 2: the bigger story. And happy for Dantavian Wicks, but him

832
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,799
Speaker 2: coming to Philadelphia. I want people to understand that is

833
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: not a replacement for AJ Brown. He's not the player

834
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: that AJ Brown is. Whether he is on their team

835
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,880
Speaker 2: with or without AJ Brown, he will not fill the

836
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: same role that AJ Brown has filled in Philadelphia because

837
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 2: AJ Brown is a much better person. Sorry, Zorr. Where

838
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: did that come from? Sorry, he's catching strains much better player.

839
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: I don't know either of these guys like that. I mean,

840
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: I've interviewed books. Sorry, well, what's on my mind?

841
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,720
Speaker 1: Much better post.

842
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think all the questions around AJ Brown,

843
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 2: and for people who don't understand, he can't. He's not

844
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: going to be traded before June first, because if they

845
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 2: trade him before June first, they're going to take more

846
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: than a forty million dollar dead money cap hit. After

847
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 2: June first, it's about twenty million. So I think there's

848
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: going to be and this is this is what happens

849
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 2: in the offseason when there's not much going on, is

850
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: we hear the same stories over and over every single day,

851
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 2: and so we're gonna hear AJ Brown trade conversation for

852
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 2: the next two months every single day probably, And this

853
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 2: just amplifies that because now they have another wide receiver.

854
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,879
Speaker 2: I still think they need to go after a wide

855
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 2: receiver in the draft to help with Dontavian Wicks. And

856
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: obviously they have DeVante Smith, who is their number one. Honestly,

857
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 2: I think it's time for them to move on from

858
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: AJ Brown because it's just one of those situations where

859
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 2: he's a great player. And yes, there have been some

860
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: a lot coming out about you know, we've seen him

861
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: reading the book on the sideline and there had been

862
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 2: you know, tweets and social media and we just see

863
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 2: that in today's stage where players aren't getting the ball

864
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 2: enough and they go express that on social media. And

865
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 2: aj Brown has been one of those players. But he,

866
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 2: in my eyes, is a number one and so is

867
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:35,280
Speaker 2: DeVante Smith, and that gets challenging when you're a player,

868
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 2: think about the NFL. You are the best of the best, Okay,

869
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 2: to be not only in the NFL but on a

870
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 2: very good team as a starter, and you feel you

871
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 2: should get the ball more. I understand it, right, you're

872
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 2: a competitor and why not love that as a coach,

873
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 2: But they just can't. They can't do that because they

874
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 2: have DeVante Smith and Jalen Hurts and it's just it's

875
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: not working out. So move on, and I think it'll

876
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 2: be fine for both parties, involves whoever their trade partner

877
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 2: ends up being.

878
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: Well. Is your opinion affected at all by the reporting

879
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: of Jeremy Fowler with the piece on ESPN dot com.

880
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: I think that was not this past week, but the

881
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: week before talking about some of the issues around Jalen

882
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: Hurts and some of his, for lack of a better term,

883
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: stubborn qualities as far as what he was comfortable with

884
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: in the offense and is he having input on that

885
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 1: offense that looked to be stagnant and ultimately got Kevin

886
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: Petullo fired, who was this year's Eagles offensive coordinator. I

887
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: say this year's because it seems like they cycle through

888
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: them with such regularity. And I and I'm you know,

889
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm not defending some of the AJ behavior, Bridget, especially

890
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: because having seen it up close and personal for three

891
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 1: years here, it's not the same media market as Philadel.

892
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: It's not going to be hyper scrutinized the way that

893
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: it was in Philly. And AJ was just breaking out

894
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:06,520
Speaker 1: onto the scene as a second round draft pick at

895
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: Ole Miss when he got to Tennessee in twenty nineteen

896
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: and then started to ascend. But I know, I'm familiar

897
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: with AJ's behavior. I'm not going to excuse all of it,

898
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: even though I understand it. I feel like Jalen Hurts

899
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: gets a little bit of a pass in some of

900
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: those criticisms that AJ Brown gets on a regular basis

901
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: when and we're just reading the reporting that is available

902
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: to us, But that Fowler report comes out and I'm

903
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: looking around and being like, well, is aj even the

904
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: biggest problem?

905
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 2: OKAYO A lot to unpack here from Buck. My question

906
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 2: is would this article come out during the season? Probably not.

907
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 2: Is this again something that's gaining a lot of traction

908
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 2: because there aren't a lot of other stories going on. Yes,

909
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 2: can a quarterback, like, let's just be honest, can a

910
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: quarterback be more of a diva than any other position

911
00:45:59,239 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: on your team?

912
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

913
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: And Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback, and I think

914
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: he gets a lot. I think people want to hate

915
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,919
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts for I mean, we can just I think

916
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 2: there's a lot.

917
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: Do you really feel that way because he's he seems

918
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: you know, as a personality, there's nothing polarizing about him, right.

919
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like people want a reason to not

920
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 2: like him.

921
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: Okay.

922
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: I mean maybe I'm from Boston and so again, my

923
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 2: like perception is different because Patriots fans definitely want to

924
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 2: hate Jalen Hurts. But I I don't know. I think

925
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: where there's smoke, there's fire, absolutely, And but how much

926
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 2: do we not know about the thirty one other starting

927
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 2: quarterbacks and how common are these kinds of situations.

928
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm again it's it's easier that the more simple

929
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 1: solution is to move AJ if there's a falling out there.

930
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: But the reason that I bring it up at all, Bridget,

931
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 1: is because I know how close they were before AJ

932
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: got traded from Tennessee to Philadelpha.

933
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 2: So you think there's issue with Jalen and Aj.

934
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, But like.

935
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 2: The biggest issue as to why he needs to leave AJ?

936
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,880
Speaker 2: You think the biggest reason why Aj Brown needs to

937
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 2: leave the Eagles is because of the relationship with Jalen Hurts.

938
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:24,400
Speaker 1: I think it's clearly contributing to all of the things

939
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 1: that AJ is dealing with and trying to find ways

940
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: to express but doing it poorly the way that he's

941
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: kind of always done. He's very reactionary, and that's fine.

942
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: He's very emotional. That's also fine. You need to be

943
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: both of those things to be a highly successful professional athlete,

944
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: and he is exactly that. He's also getting closer to thirty,

945
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: so he becomes more expendable. He did not give And

946
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about this. I always

947
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 1: have a very hard time working effort, like a lack

948
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: of effort into the analysis because I don't know what

949
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 1: you're going through, or what your body feels like or

950
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing that makes sense to me as a

951
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 1: lack of effort or a lackadaisical approach. That may be

952
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: completely different. So I don't volunteer this criticism lightly. But

953
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 1: AJ didn't give full effort last year. I think that

954
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: was pretty evident to everybody involved, and people in Philadelphia,

955
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: not just the fans, but when you talk to people

956
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: around that situation, those sentiments are echoed. He's also dealing

957
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: with something he doesn't look healthy. So the far cleaner

958
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: solution is to move AJ. I'm not saying that Philadelphia

959
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: should move on from Jalen Hurts or even consider anything

960
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: of the sort, just because he may also have some

961
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: behavioral stuff to do with this. The cleaner solution is

962
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: to move AJ, and there's a number of different reasons

963
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 1: why this is happening. I also think that a fresh

964
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: start from Philadelphia would do anybody good after a couple

965
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: of years.

966
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 2: Here's my question, Yeah, how many NFL starters do you

967
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: think are dealing with behavioral issues that we don't hear

968
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 2: about real issues or ego issues.

969
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: Ego issues, I would say, all of them at various

970
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: points of their career exactly.

971
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 2: And I think it's good that we don't hear about

972
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 2: all of them because I'm not like scrutinizing them at all. Like,

973
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: if you are that competitive and you are that talented,

974
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 2: and you have been told your whole life that you

975
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: are that guy, that's just that's who you are. And

976
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 2: if I'm the owner of a team, I want my

977
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 2: best player or one of my best players to be

978
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 2: wanting the ball all the time, right Like I want

979
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 2: that competitive drive. It's when you stop caring that I

980
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,280
Speaker 2: would be concerned about. And it just makes me wonder

981
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 2: sometimes why we hear about certain players versus the others

982
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,440
Speaker 2: behavior issues or ego.

983
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 1: Issues fair And I think, at least from my standpoint,

984
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: I I would understand why somebody would look at AJ

985
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: right now and be like, well, you're not giving full effort,

986
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: and this is affecting the way that you care about

987
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 1: this thing that we're all trying to work towards, and

988
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 1: that makes you a larger part of the problem than

989
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: anybody else at this point in time. Even though at

990
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: your height, you are one of the best wide receivers

991
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't know what the shelf life

992
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: on AJ is going to be. That way, it's once

993
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,359
Speaker 1: a wide receiver gets He's not thirty yet. He will

994
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: be here in the near future. But once you get

995
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: to that point, your check engine light at that position

996
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: starts to come on a lot more. And he's somebody

997
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 1: who in Tennessee dealt with some knee things. He had

998
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: to get a couple of cleanups while he was here

999
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: that did impact him at various points. It does feel

1000
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 1: like he's not the best version of himself on top

1001
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: of all the other things that we're talking about here.

1002
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: But for Philadelphia, even if you aren't, it feels like

1003
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,560
Speaker 1: they are heading on a path of inevitability to move

1004
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,919
Speaker 1: AJ Brown post June one. But even if you, even

1005
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: if you can't or whatever may happen, the d'antavian Wicks

1006
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: move is just smart business, like you're just hedging your bets.

1007
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:07,280
Speaker 2: I one hundred percent agree. I don't think it necessarily. Again,

1008
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 2: like as I said in the beginning of this segment,

1009
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: getting don Tavian Wicks does not replace AJ Brown. They're

1010
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: two very different players. I think there's a lot of

1011
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 2: familiarity there. Obviously, the Packers quarterbacks coach now the offensive

1012
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,760
Speaker 2: coordinator with the Eagles. Wicks comes from the Packers, played

1013
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 2: three seasons there, started eighteen games, thirty catches for three

1014
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty two yards. His best season came a

1015
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. So he's not he's not a nobody,

1016
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: but he's not an aj Brown And it's just why

1017
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 2: not add to the competition. And again, the NFL Draft

1018
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 2: is coming up, and it'll be interesting to see what

1019
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 2: the Eagles do, but I wouldn't be surprised if they

1020
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: get one of these receivers early in the draft.

1021
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: We have a lot of other sports things to talk about,

1022
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: but Bridget texted.

1023
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:52,279
Speaker 2: Me and I, God, are we going to do it?

1024
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 1: Yeah? We have to talk about Artemis and the Crew

1025
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: and the return to Earth on Friday evening because I well,

1026
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I want your thoughts because I.

1027
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 2: Know you're having a thought whole I have a whole thing.

1028
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Well we have time that we have a little

1029
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 1: wiggle room here, So that's why I wanted to do

1030
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: it here. I'm gonna clear seed the floor. This incredible

1031
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: accomplishment of humanity, of the best of us, of the

1032
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: smartest of us, and something that's just going to make

1033
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: you feel good no matter how many other bad things

1034
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 1: are happening in the world. Bridget Condon share your thoughts

1035
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: on the Artimist too.

1036
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 2: I first want to say, if you didn't watch the

1037
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,640
Speaker 2: splash down, turn off the radio and just go go

1038
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 2: think about yourself. There was one friend of mine that

1039
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 2: was like, what are you talking about? Like, what would

1040
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 2: you say, so turn off the radio when our show's over?

1041
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 2: Oh obviously, sorry, I'm producing it. I did have one

1042
00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 2: friend say like that she had no interest in it,

1043
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 2: and I just it kind of made me rethink our

1044
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: friendship if we're being honest. Anyways, But okay, the Astronauts

1045
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:59,439
Speaker 2: showed us what sports can do on a universal level, right,

1046
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 2: Like we've all been desperate, desperate for unity, and for

1047
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 2: ten days everybody was watching, rooting for the same team.

1048
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 2: What we just watched those Astronauts. That's the kind of

1049
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 2: moment that reminds you what sports actually does. It Honestly,

1050
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 2: Buck felt like a ten day super Bowl. We talk

1051
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 2: all the time about how divided everything feels right now,

1052
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,799
Speaker 2: different opinions, different sides, constant noise, and then something like

1053
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 2: this happened, and for a minute I was like, WHOA, Okay,

1054
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 2: none of that matters. Ten days, everybody was watching the

1055
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 2: same thing, everybody was pulling for the same outcome. There

1056
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 2: wasn't a debate, there wasn't a split. It was just like,

1057
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: let's get these guys home safely. And then you realize

1058
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: how rare that is now, that it doesn't matter where

1059
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,439
Speaker 2: you're from, what you believe, who you root for, one

1060
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 2: shared experience, one story, one result that everybody was cheering

1061
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 2: for yesterday here in California around five o'clock. That's what

1062
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 2: sports is supposed to be. At its best. Sports strips

1063
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 2: everything else away. It gives you something simple, a common goal,

1064
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 2: a shared emotion, a reason to came. And we don't

1065
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 2: get that feeling as often as we used to do,

1066
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 2: so this was that. And for US millennials, we're so

1067
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: used to major events that added end in tragedy, so

1068
00:54:11,719 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 2: to see this it was so incredible. Honestly, was so

1069
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,439
Speaker 2: locked in checking the updates. I was watching the live

1070
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: stream on YouTube from NASA. Honestly almost started crying. I

1071
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 2: don't want to admit that, but it just yeah, it

1072
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: just felt like this is what's important. It reminds you

1073
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:32,360
Speaker 2: despite everything else, all the noise, all the division, people

1074
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 2: still want the same things. We want something to rally around.

1075
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 2: We want something that brings us together. And for a

1076
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 2: few days, that's what we had. It wasn't about sides

1077
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,919
Speaker 2: or takes. It was just about people. And I am

1078
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 2: just so impressed with the four astronauts Read Wiseman, Victor Glover,

1079
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 2: Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen who went to space. They

1080
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,719
Speaker 2: traveled the farthest that any person has ever gone, all

1081
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 2: the way around the backside of them. Moon showed us

1082
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 2: these incredible pictures. And I don't know about you, but

1083
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,360
Speaker 2: when you look at that picture of the Moon with

1084
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: Earth in the background, it just for me seeing that

1085
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: picture one it makes you realize that nothing matters. We're

1086
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 2: so small in the grand scheme of things. But also

1087
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:20,359
Speaker 2: we're all on the same team. We're all together on

1088
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 2: Earth sharing this human experience, no matter how much we

1089
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 2: want to feel distant and different from one another. And

1090
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just felt like it was what

1091
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: we needed.

1092
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: I feel like if I try to add anything to this,

1093
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:36,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to ruin the segment.

1094
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 2: I am so obsessed with this, Like I beautiful when

1095
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 2: I tell you. I've been on Reddit every single night

1096
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:45,920
Speaker 2: this weekend or this this week just looking up about

1097
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 2: these astronauts. I cannot get enough. And I wish I

1098
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 2: was smart enough to be an astronaut because I want

1099
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 2: to go to space. But as an astronaut, you know

1100
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 2: how celebrities went last year and they just went and

1101
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,479
Speaker 2: turned around just to say they could go to space,

1102
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 2: and they paid all this money.

1103
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 1: Well, like, did they really get into space? They just

1104
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of covering in between the atmosphere and what is

1105
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:08,240
Speaker 1: technically space.

1106
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 2: I think it's so fascinating and I, oh my god,

1107
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 2: the way that they the rocket launches and it has

1108
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 2: to be this precision and then coming back into the

1109
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 2: atmosphere and they have to do it at the proper

1110
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,360
Speaker 2: angle or else it was going to be too hot.

1111
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: And just watching that like, oh my god, are they

1112
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 2: gonna make it okay? It was just I'm like, it

1113
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 2: was amazing. I don't know what else to say. I mean,

1114
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,319
Speaker 2: it was absolutely amazing. And if you don't care about it,

1115
00:56:33,400 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 2: I don't care about you. I feel like it's you.

1116
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 2: You didn't watch. Be honest, I didn't watch did you

1117
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 2: watch the splash down.

1118
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 1: I didn't watch the splash down. I watched the launch.

1119
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: Oh god buck, Okay, Well.

1120
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: You weren't curious if they were gonna, I don't know,

1121
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 2: make it home alive.

1122
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: No, of course I was curious. I have had I'm

1123
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: reading I don't know if you're familiar with the book

1124
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: Catching the Fire. It's about the original Moon launch. I

1125
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 1: went to NASA. Titans obviously play at Houston every year.

1126
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:06,879
Speaker 1: I went to NASSA for the first time. I've done

1127
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,240
Speaker 1: that Houston driven a million times, never never done the Houston,

1128
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: never taken the tour, never you know, gone through that.

1129
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: They take you on a little trolley and you go

1130
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 1: through all the different pieces of equipment and different ships

1131
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: that have been sent into space. They've got them basically out,

1132
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: and it's like, I mean, it's kind of sad. It's

1133
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: kind of like a graveyard of spaceships that they've got

1134
00:57:26,480 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: out at them. But I've been obsessed with it all

1135
00:57:28,640 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: year long, ever since I went to Houston. I started

1136
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: reading this book about the first Moon launch. It's it's

1137
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: it's incredible stuff, and I bridget I in the same

1138
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: way that you are upset at people who did not

1139
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,920
Speaker 1: watch the splash down. I was sitting in the Phoenix

1140
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: airport on the way back from owners meetings on the

1141
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: verge of grabbing people next to me and being like,

1142
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: why you watching? Why aren't you watching? This is one

1143
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in my life.

1144
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: We are we are badasses as a as a society,

1145
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: as a people, as a as a universe that we

1146
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: are able to accomplish these kinds of things that you

1147
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: guys can't even be bothered to look up from your

1148
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: Sunoco game right and watch this for five minutes on

1149
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: a free live stream of NASA's no. I felt the

1150
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: exact same way about the launch that you do about

1151
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: the splash.

1152
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 2: But it's just and I don't do drugs, I want

1153
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 2: to be very clear, but thinking about space makes me

1154
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 2: feel makes me feel like I'm high. And because it's just,

1155
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 2: I cannot stop thinking about the fact that we are

1156
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 2: on Earth in the Milky Way galaxy that is one

1157
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 2: of the smallest galaxies out there, and they say there

1158
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: are what billions or trillions of galaxies what, and we're

1159
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 2: just here like talking about I don't know, people throwing

1160
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 2: a ball like it's just I tell.

1161
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 5: Rory once again collapsing at the mass.

1162
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: I know that which is important. Damn.

1163
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 2: I know that things are important. But it just if

1164
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: we all could realize the importance of what we're all

1165
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: doing and the unimportant, Like, just could we just put

1166
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 2: everything into perspective and everybody just be less angry and

1167
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: I don't know, just enjoy one another a little bit more.

1168
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 2: I would like that.

1169
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: I think that's fair. So now that bridget has discounted sports,

1170
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,720

1178
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 1: by the way, beautifully done by bridget Well said.

1179
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 2: It was for the astronauts. They honestly, they need to

1180
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 2: get more attention.

1181
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: I imagine that they've had the world's attention for quite

1182
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: some time, and that they were just I bet they're

1183
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: so ready to be normal people.

1184
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 2: No, I want astronauts to becoming the ones who are

1185
00:59:55,520 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 2: selling me things on social media, be the brand influencers whatever.

1186
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 2: Why are they are selling I'm gonna buy it. I

1187
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 2: don't want to know what you know.

1188
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Some company is hearing then being like, get me the

1189
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Quicket effect. Quick, get me an astronaut.

1190
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 2: Get these astronauts to Coachella right now.

1191
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if Dexter Lawrence is going to

1192
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: be at Coachella, but he's not gonna. He's trying not

1193
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: to be in New York. We'll talk about a dext

1194
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: She's Bridge of Condon. I'm Buck Rising hanging out here

1195
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: with you on a Fox Sports Saturday because we spent

1196
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: necessary time, I feel, talking about the astronauts and the

1197
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: accomplishments of the Artemis two crew. We have an abbreviated

1198
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 1: segment here to talk about Dexter Lawrence and his trade

1199
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: request from the New York Giants before Martin gets us

1200
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: caught up on everything masters, but bridget just quickly here.

1201
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a better percentage chance or a

1202
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: higher percentage chance that Dexter Lawrence is on the Giants

1203
01:00:52,280 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 1: when this football season starts, or do you believe he's

1204
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: going to be somewhere else.

1205
01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 2: I think that he will be on the Giants. Okay,

1206
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: that's the sentence smartest. I'm just kidding.

1207
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, okay, I gotcha.

1208
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 2: I think with John Harbaugh and the whole situation, they

1209
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: figure it out. I mean, he's severely underpaid and they

1210
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 2: don't need to pay him top of the market, but

1211
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 2: he's scheduled to make less less than twenty million or

1212
01:01:21,920 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 2: around twenty million this season. Yeah, tenth highest paid into

1213
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 2: your defensive lineman. To me, he deserves more than that.

1214
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: It's it's going to be interesting, though, and I know

1215
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,920
Speaker 2: there's a lot of like conversation. Maybe the Bears make

1216
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 2: a move and in the draft, I guess I take

1217
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 2: that back, if they're if somebody is willing to pay

1218
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,560
Speaker 2: a first round draft pick, I think under a first

1219
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 2: year head coach John Harbaugh, you obviously do that. And

1220
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 2: so maybe that maybe he does fit into the Bears.

1221
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,439
Speaker 2: But I do know, I mean, they want him there.

1222
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 2: You know, it's just it's just going to be a

1223
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 2: matter of can they can they get the money.

1224
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 1: To work well, And it's not just that to your point,

1225
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 1: it's not just the draft capital itself, it's the fact

1226
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: that you're going to have to give him a new contract.

1227
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: On the other side of that, in Chicago, obviously around

1228
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback contract, could probably figure out something financially,

1229
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: but it would be more complicated than that. I'm going

1230
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: to agree with you and say that I think he's

1231
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 1: going to be on the New York Giants roster, and

1232
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: this is more just about leverage of him trying to

1233
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 1: get a new deal. Jeffrey Simmons here in Tennessee is

1234
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 1: also going to be doing new contract. I mean, he

1235
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: was on a terrible football team last year, but I

1236
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: don't think there was a better interior defensive lineman. I

1237
01:02:34,920 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: don't know if there's a better pass rushing interior defensive

1238
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 1: lineman than Dexter Lawrence when he's at his best. Last

1239
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: year was not his best, and he was dealing with

1240
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 1: some injuries throughout the course of that, and they also

1241
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: struggled as a team, so understanding that there were going

1242
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,919
Speaker 1: to be some performance ebbs and flows, that's a really

1243
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:56,200
Speaker 1: talented player, especially for somebody I know in Denard Wilson,

1244
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 1: who was the defensive coordinator here in Tennessee who will

1245
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: now be the New York I think that Dexter Lawrence

1246
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: would make a lot of sense for the kind of

1247
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: system that Denard wants to run there. It's just a

1248
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 1: matter of what's that worth to the New York Giants?

1249
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: And is Joe Shane empowered, really truly empowered to make

1250
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 1: that decision? If John Harball looks at the situation and says, no,

1251
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:19,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm good.

1252
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Harball would want him, though, don't you like,

1253
01:03:22,400 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 2: I feel like he's a guy you want on your

1254
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 2: team as you're building.

1255
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I wouldly he's one of those foundational pieces.

1256
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Like if you trade him for a first round pick, well,

1257
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 1: is that first round pick going to be even a

1258
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: fraction of what Dexter Lawrence currently is. He's one of

1259
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 1: the best players, one of the best defensive players again

1260
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: at his best and healthiest, one of the best players

1261
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: in the sport. So we'll see how that will please pick.

1262
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 2: Do the Bears have the twenty fifth? I know, And

1263
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 2: here's the thing, this draft doesn't have a ton of

1264
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 2: great defensive tackles, right, so I say keep them. You know,

1265
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 2: it's just easy for us to say it, right, Well,

1266
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 2: so nonchalantly just keep him.

1267
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: But it's a pretty I think it's a pretty cut

1268
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: and dry conversation. No, you'll give that. Pay that man

1269
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 1: his money.

1270
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 2: He deserves it. He's making. I mean, come on, he's

1271
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 2: not making.

1272
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: He's been a good soldier in New York when they

1273
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 1: haven't been nearly competitive enough during his time there. He's

1274
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: been there since twenty nineteen. I mean he has played

1275
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: in OPOS season game, right, just the one m.

1276
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 2: When when what year did he Yeah, I'm going to

1277
01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 2: go with you on that.

1278
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: I believe that the only playoff game that Dexter Lawrence

1279
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: has played in was the one year when Dable won

1280
01:04:37,680 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year and Daniel Jones and then went

1281
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 1: to the playoffs.

1282
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds right.

1283
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens

1284
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: because he's an incredibly talented player, and we'll see what

1285
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: I think. There was two there was two, Okay, played

1286
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: in two playoff games. My mistake. Either either way, he's been.

1287
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 2: The wild card and they won. They have they won

1288
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: the wild.

1289
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 3: Card right that same year twenty two they won the

1290
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 3: wild card game that the divisional and lost.

1291
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: That is absolutely.

1292
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 2: Anytime we can make buck wrong we take the opportunity. Yeah, yeah,

1293
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:11,959
Speaker 2: I hate the show.

1294
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: You there. Oh, don't worry, I'm still here. Hang out, Martin,

1295
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 1: Are you there? Bail me out? Yeah?

1296
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 4: That would Daniel Jones' playoff win in New York. Dextra

1297
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 4: was a was a part of that. Kevin O'Connell lost

1298
01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:36,520
Speaker 4: that game, and I believe that is if we're talking

1299
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 4: about one playoff game, I think that's it right there

1300
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:40,880
Speaker 4: for Kevin O'Connell too, because I.

1301
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Forgot the wildcar for Sam Tarkan.

1302
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, but outside of that, no wins for Kevin O'Connor

1303
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 4: in the postseason one because Brian Dabon and Daniel Jones

1304
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 4: went into Minnesota and beat him. Who thought, uh, you know,

1305
01:05:52,360 --> 01:05:54,760
Speaker 4: probably a few people would have thought that Roy McRory

1306
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 4: would have had trouble today, But I don't know about

1307
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 4: this much trouble. He had a six shot lead to

1308
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 4: go in to the round three of the Masters. He's

1309
01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 4: out tied for first with Cam Young.

1310
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: Roy had a rough day.

1311
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,520
Speaker 4: He was the only person only golfer in the top

1312
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 4: ten who didn't shoot under parts today. Came Young shot

1313
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 4: a sixty five.

1314
01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 1: Again.

1315
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 4: There was both tied at eleven under Sam Burns ten

1316
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 4: under in third place, Shane Lowry nine under and fourth

1317
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 4: got two guys tied at fifth. Scottie Scheffler shot a

1318
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,440
Speaker 4: sixty five, trying to roar back into competition there. In

Speaker 4: Wolverines for quote many years to come, says athletic director

1345
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 4: I gotta say, Manti's a better update anchor.

1346
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 2: But she doesn't bring the guitar.

1347
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: She doesn't.

1348
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, she does bring the car.

1349
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 5: But I know this.

1350
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 4: I just wanted to you know, it's been a running bit,

1351
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 4: but I wanted to go ahead and just let it

1352
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 4: die because I say it myself all the time and

1353
01:07:57,280 --> 01:08:00,280
Speaker 4: the show afterwards. Buck goes out Saturday night and that's feeling.

1354
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure he's with the lady in that moment.

1355
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 5: So I just wanted to just own up.

1356
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Wow, that's what I appreciate that shade, Bridget, I don't

1357
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: appreciate that shade.

1358
01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,160
Speaker 2: Is this shade though, It's just truth.

1359
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: Okay, that's because Mary knows more than she needs to.

1360
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 2: Well, I heard some stuff from Carmen.

1361
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 5: Oh no, you can't blame me.

1362
01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm not calm my girl.

1363
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 2: That's my girl.

1364
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I Carmen. Carmen has seen me at my very,

1365
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: very worst.

1366
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 2: So here's a good question for you. Are there more

1367
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 2: women on your roster or Tennessee women's basketball?

1368
01:08:40,240 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 1: I plead the fifth yours. It is not the lady

1369
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:47,719
Speaker 1: of balls.

1370
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 4: I can.

1371
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 2: What you could. So what you're telling us is you

1372
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 2: could staff that roster with your ladies.

1373
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 1: There is no way for me to answer that question

1374
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 1: without sounding.

1375
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 2: Like practice players as well, starting five plus practice squad.

1376
01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 1: You know what I again, it's called Peter Pan syndrome.

1377
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,320
Speaker 1: It happens to a lot of guys in Nashville. You

1378
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:17,280
Speaker 1: don't have to grow up at a certain point. And

1379
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,640
Speaker 1: so I'm still battling that. I'm still seeking treatment on

1380
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:21,680
Speaker 1: a regular basis.

1381
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 2: We're here for you as you develop.

1382
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 1: She's pretty condon. I'm buck rising. Speaking of things that

1383
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: we want in Nashville. I want a w NBA team

1384
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,679
Speaker 1: in Nashville. We're not getting one this time around.

1385
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 2: Wait wait, wait, After we just talk about you having

1386
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 2: a roster of ladies. Then you're like, give me the WNBA. No,

1387
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:47,160

Speaker 2: All right, So bring a w NBA team to Nashville.

1398
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 2: Don't let buck have season tickets.

1399
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,080
Speaker 1: It's kind of something to do with the fact that

1400
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: I love basketball. I went basketball at Nashville. We can't

1401
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 1: have the Grizzlies, even even though Lebron hates Memphis and

1402
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 1: wants the Grizzlies to move to that. I mean, it's

1403
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:27,280
Speaker 1: just Chef's Kiss Memphis.

1404
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 2: Can Did you see the video of the guy who

1405
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 2: went into that hotel and like took a video of

1406
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 2: it and was like, hey, this is the hotel Lebron

1407
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: hates and it was actually and I said, oh my god,

1408
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: it was a great, great social media moment. He like

1409
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 2: literally flew Yeah, I think it was on TikTok. He

1410
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 2: flew there and rented a room just so that he

1411
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 2: could make this video. It was incredible content.

1412
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: And is Lebron correct? Is it a dump?

1413
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 2: No, it's a great hotel. I'd say, there, are you

1414
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 2: kidding me?

1415
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it the Peabody Hotel with the ducks?

1416
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 6: No?

1417
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 2: I think it's the Hyatt, right.

1418
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: Okay, well yeah, then he's being dramatic. Shock. Yeah, no

1419
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: one either way, We in Nashville are getting passed over

1420
01:11:03,080 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 1: because we came up with a team named Peyton. Manning

1421
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: is involved with the Leader group. It's the Tennessee Summit

1422
01:11:09,160 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: for Pat Summit.

1423
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 2: Cute.

1424
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's It's one of the best names I think

1425
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 1: I've ever heard.

1426
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 2: A mascot would be just like a mount in somebody

1427
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 2: dresses as.

1428
01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 1: I would think it would be like a like a

1429
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 1: mountain climber, maybe not necessarily a mountain.

1430
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,040
Speaker 2: Okay, we got to work on that.

1431
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: Okay, you know it's again. When we get the team,

1432
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 1: then we can focus on the mascot. Philly, Detroit, Cleveland

1433
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: all officially approved for NBA expansion. Do we think that

1434
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: this is the right time on the heels of a

1435
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 1: successful collective bargaining renegotiation that we talked to Alicia Clark

1436
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: on the radio show about last week. She was very

1437
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,839
Speaker 1: decent to come on and share some of that insight

1438
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: and information on how did I get her to come on? Yeah,

1439
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,799
Speaker 1: I have a friend at CA that reached out nice.

1440
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 2: That's awesome. I'm happy for you.

1441
01:11:58,840 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 1: How many times? How many ways are going to make

1442
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: me look bad in this segment?

1443
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 2: I was being genuine, that's an awesome I unfortunately missed

1444
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 2: the show last week, but had I have known, I would. Anyways,

1445
01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:14,839
Speaker 2: I'm very happy for the WNBA. As you were asking,

1446
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:16,960
Speaker 2: is this the right time? This is the right time?

1447
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 2: Average salary around six hundred thousand? Am I correct in

1448
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 2: saying that?

1449
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 4: Right?

1450
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: I read that somewhere way overdue?

1451
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, better pay should improve the player retention deep in

1452
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 2: the talent pool. Now you're going to have players who

1453
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: even in high school are good players that might want

1454
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,080
Speaker 2: to play in college because there's a possibility to make

1455
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 2: this a full time profession, which has never been the case.

1456
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,760
Speaker 2: These WNBA players used to have to play in the

1457
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 2: WNBA and play overseas to just make a decent salary.

1458
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:51,799
Speaker 2: And now because of brand partnerships. The exposure has gained

1459
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 2: this massive reach and they're finally getting paid what they deserve.

1460
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:02,640
Speaker 2: Shout out to the ladies because it is long overdue,

1461
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 2: and absolutely keep expanding it. People are going to show

1462
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:08,599
Speaker 2: up if there's talent there.

1463
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: We're watching there's no question America's favorite game show. Would

1472
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: have to act like a responsible adult.

1473
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: I like you more knowing you have a sister.

1474

01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,240
Speaker 2: Okay, so you just needed to just say that the

1480
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 2: people don't like me. You wanted to rub it in

1481
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 2: a little bit more.

1482
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: No, it's it's it's so bad up on me, so

01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: being people feel pity for me, which is not a

1485
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:18,640
Speaker 1: position that I'm usually in.

1492
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 2: I actually have no idea who this guy is. Yeah,

01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 2: I should look him up. I have to know him, right,

1494
01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: you will love him though? What's his name? I'm just kidding.

1495
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:54,920
Speaker 5: Let's say and spin the wheel?

1496
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:58,679
Speaker 1: God should be a train wreck.

1497
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 3: We have a couple left over from last week, and

1498
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,200

Speaker 3: with this. So would you rather have whoopy cushions in

1501
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 3: your shoes? Or every time you clap you also have

1502
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 3: to be screaming in terror.

1503
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 2: Bridget, Oh my god, in my shoes be embarrassing, but

1504
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 2: late high, it's embarrassing only in a very quiet place.

1505
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:33,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, everywhere. Now everybody's gonna hear that. Whoop.

1506
01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Curses are not quiet.

1507
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, even in like Times Square. I would be like, wa,

1508
01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 3: the way every time you walk bro.

1509
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:42,679
Speaker 1: The internet of that woman in the mud bath who

1510
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,439
Speaker 1: may or may not have passed gas and there's a

1511
01:15:44,520 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: huge bubble comes up behind her. That's basically the existence

1512
01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: that you're living.

1513
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're picking screaming.

1514
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I'm screaming anyway, I'm yelling. I'm yelling

1515
01:15:55,800 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 1: all the time at this point. What's the difference. It's

1516
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 1: a few octaves higher.

1517
01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, but this is like you're screaming like cheering and clapping.

1518
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 3: This is like you're screaming in absolute terror and clapping

1519
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 3: and every time you clap.

1520
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 2: Both are pretty embarrassing. Again, you're showing that you don't

1521
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 2: have children.

1522
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:14,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, spin the wheel.

1523
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 3: Okay, would you rather every shirt you ever wear just

1524
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 3: get a noticeable hole in it or every pair of

1525
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 3: pants you wear get a big noticeable stain on it?

1526
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think the hole in the shirt, right,

1527
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 1: the stain on the pants, that's definitely come on, even

1528
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 1: if it's like, like I have a pair of sweatpants

1529
01:16:43,720 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 1: right now that for some reason I have I got

1530
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: a grease stain on it, and I have to take

1531
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: it to the dry cleaner to get this damn stain out.

1532
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: You can't just wash a grease stain out, apparently, but

1533
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,800
Speaker 1: it's like it's it's just a humiliatingly placed stain on

1534
01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: my pants. No, I can't have it.

1535
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, ones like you have ratty clothes, that's the whole,

1536
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 3: and then ones like you are some other issues.

1537
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:04,679
Speaker 2: You're not careful.

1538
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,560
Speaker 1: One you're raady to your dirty.

1539
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 2: Pick I'd rather be rady.

1540
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with that probably already.
