1
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: Straight Fire? Bam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday,

3
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: March twenty seventh. Spring break is nearly here. I don't

4
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: know when spring break is for you and your kids,

5
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: but out here in LA it is next week. Obviously,

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: this week has to be a really good one because

7
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 1: your boy will be sparse next week as I get

8
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: a much needed breather. Yes, I know we got one

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: right after the football season, but another one's coming up

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: when kids are on spring break. There we share as hell,

11
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: are not sitting around doing nothing. I need to get

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: out of dodge and we're gonna be going out on

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: a high note next week. Rob and I always go

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: back and forth on how much you guys care about

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: like internal stuff. But you know, from a sports weekend perspective,

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: like there was really nothing that I saw in the NFL,

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: No major free agent move, no Lamar Jackson. I'm sure

18
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: they're saving that for later on a Monday morning, you know,

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: to start the week strong. No need to bury it

20
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: on a Friday Saturday when the nca tournament was rolling,

21
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: NBA had some good stuff. I'm gonna get to Kyrie

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: Irving versus Luca or or Luca versus Jason Kidd or

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving versus the world. But yes, I'm gonna take

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,919
Speaker 1: some shots at Kyrie Irving again because anywhere he goes fails.

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: M Lebron returned. It'll skirmish with Patrick Beverley. More words

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: than anything. Patrick Beverley is just so such a nat

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: He's so annoying. But I have to obviously start with

28
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: the most important. You guys know, I've been hyping coaching

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: your kids, and I coached my daughter in fourth grade.

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: And you know, in the playoffs there was only four teams,

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: so everybody makes the playoffs. So we won the semifinals

32
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: and then we get to the finals on Saturday night,

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie. I was nervous. We played

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: a team that we lost to last time. They have

35
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: a club player. She's talented and very physical and aggressive,

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: and I was nervous we were missing our two most

37
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: aggressive girls. You know, Listen, we're in an area out

38
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: here in LA where people travel on weekends, people are

39
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: going skiing. A couple of dads who listen to this

40
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: podcast are like, hey, Jay, we're not going to be

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: available for the championship. We're going skiing. I was like,

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm looking at him, like really, championship we get okay,

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: I see you. I'll remember that for the draft next year.

44
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 1: Just kidding, just kidding. And so we go into the

45
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: game and we had this awesome defensive game plan. Folks,

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: it was not my Picasso, but it was Picasso. Like

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: me and my assistant coach, we were buddies and we've

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: talked about strategy, and we had an incredible walkthrough, not

49
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: really a practice, but like a walk through the day before. Yes,

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: fourth grade girls doing a walkthrough when we set up

51
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: plays and defense and we you know, it was awesome,

52
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: and we blew them out twenty two to seven. It

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: was just such a good performance. Our defensive wizard who

54
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: had never really played that much basketball, but she's into

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: it and I know she's aggressive. So I said, you're

56
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: just gonna follow this girl around, get in her jersey. Literally,

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: if she goes over the sideline, if she brend over,

58
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: you just go right with her. You don't have to

59
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: talk to her, and I have to get in her face,

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: just follow her anywhere she goes. And the club player

61
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: didn't score a basket. It was masterful. So I was

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: just so happy. So I got that out of the way,

63
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, all right. So my son had

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: a semi final game. Basically, the two best players in

65
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: our area squared off. We had one and they had won,

66
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: and it was it was such a heated game. There

67
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: was actually like a crowd for this. I know it's

68
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: only sixth grade, rob and don't laugh, but I mean

69
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: it was held at like a proper gym with stands

70
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you know, I don't maybe seventy five people,

71
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: one hundred, I don't know. Maybe there were some people

72
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: for the next game that came a little early, and

73
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of kids from my son's school

74
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: who came to show up six graders because they knew that, like,

75
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the two of the best players were playing. It was

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: a great game. We won by like nine, and then

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: we got to the championship and I'm playing my buddy

78
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: who's the commissioner of the league, you know, and it

79
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: was an awesome game. I mean, it was an ugly game,

80
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: but an awesome result. We won by two. They listen,

81
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 1: they were they had no big guy. He was out

82
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: of town for the weekend. Again. You know, these parents.

83
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I draft kids, and I know some parents are listening

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: in our area. Who I knew we're going to be committed.

85
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: We had by far the best turnout for practice, We

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: had the best games. We almost had full support. Like

87
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: when you're drafting, dad's out there, make sure you've asked

88
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: your kids, like, hey, who's locked in? Who really cares?

89
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: Are the parents committed? Because if the parents aren't going

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: to bring the kid to practice, you know, are the

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: parents gonna bring the kid to games? And anyways, it

92
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: was fun to walk away with two titles. And if

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: that wasn't enough, our men's league team, we're hunting that

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 1: number one seed for the playoffs. We dropped one hundred

95
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: and one in our best ever total against the last

96
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: place team, but we were just jacking threes. And yes,

97
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: I'll be posting videos later in the week. But from

98
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: a basketball's perspective, I thought I had a great weekend.

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: The NCAA tournament I did not think was great. Now, Rob,

100
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be totally honest with you, because of all

101
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: this coaching, and my daughter had a soccer game, my

102
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: two soccer games my son had won, like my son

103
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: had volleyball, Like I'm everywhere. For the first time in

104
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: the tournament, I had to DVR all four games. Now

105
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: I do have a phone, and of course I have

106
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: a phone, but I'm watching some of the games while

107
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm at my kids games. And because I can't, you know,

108
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: you can't. You're getting texts, you go anywhere on the internet,

109
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: you see the score. You can't open social media. You

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: tried it hard not to look, but Rob I dv

111
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Artum while also watching, and I was woefully disappointed in

112
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 1: all four games Saturday and Sunday, Like, yes, Kansas State

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: had some drama, but it ended up with Fau winning.

114
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Like sorry, I don't want to see Fau in the

115
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: final four. The late game with Gonzaga sucked because the refs,

116
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: and they became a story this weekend, ladies and gentlemen.

117
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: The refs game drew Timmy his fourth foul with seventeen

118
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: minutes left, Ukon just blows it open. It's like, all right,

119
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: So I'm watching on the DVR. Of course I'm getting

120
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: text and they're saying, Yukon blow out. I'm like, no way,

121
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: what how I see drew Timmy four thoul and then

122
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: Nextegano ten o run and it's over, game over. Yukon

123
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: just stomped him. And then you know the Sunday games.

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: Rob just sucked. The referees robbed us Creton San Diego

125
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: States should have gone overtime. Now, obviously I was pot

126
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: committed to Creton with futures in the region Creton Final four.

127
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: And they call a foul with one second left on

128
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: a guy leaner in the lane, like was there contact?

129
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: Of course? Is there contact on every shot? Of course?

130
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Like you could call that a lot. It's like holding

131
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Are you calling holding on fourth thound

132
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: at the goal line with five seconds left? Probably not

133
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: let them play, Let the players decide. And if that

134
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: wasn't bad enough. Texas is playing an incredible game, incredible

135
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: against Miami. Texas to start to pull away. They're up

136
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: by thirteen, they're making This was a high energy game.

137
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: The alley oubs the energy, the excitement you could feel Texas. Hey,

138
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: they're going to the final four. I love this Texas

139
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: story and Rob out of the blue. The refs decided

140
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna call everything under the sun. Miami lives at

141
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: the foul line. They attempt thirty two freaking free throws

142
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: and they make all their free throws and they pull

143
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: away in like it just felt like a travesty and

144
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: what has been an incredible NCAA tournament. The four game

145
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday I thought were an abomination Miami. Of course,

146
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: when you shoot twenty eight of thirty two from the

147
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: foul line, you're not gonna lose many games. This is

148
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: how strange of a game it was. They attempted eight

149
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: three pointers. Nigel what's his name, pac pac Man they

150
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: call him. He made seven threes against Houston on Friday.

151
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: The team attempted eight. Why is that? Because of all

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: the fouls inside? It was just like not pretty basketball

153
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: for the final Like I don't know, like seven minutes

154
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: mal rob. Maybe I'm in the minority and people are

155
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna say, stop blaming the refs, but I don't know,

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: what'd you think you saw in the NCAA Tournament. I mean,

157
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: it's okay to blame the refs, even if let me

158
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: just say this, I'm claiming the San Diego State victory

159
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: as a victory for the home team because coming out

160
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: of high school, I was supposed to go to San

161
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: Diego State and then there was there was a flukey

162
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: thing with I was gonna go with a buddy, We're

163
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: gonna live together, dorm together. I got in, something happened

164
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: with his SATs where he didn't get in, and then

165
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: I got I got scared. I don't want to go

166
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: by myself, so I ended up staying and going to

167
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: Long Beach instead. Are you serious? Yeah? So that that

168
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: could have been an alma mater. So therefore I'm claiming

169
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: this one as one for the home team. Wait, what

170
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: did your parents say when you said you were going

171
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: to go to San Diego State? You got in, and

172
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: then you said, I'm scared to go without a friend.

173
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: Uh My mom loved it, to be honest with you,

174
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: because she's like, yeah, he'd stay staying home, So she

175
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: loved it, you know. But that that is true. I

176
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: was too much of a b word to go out

177
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: on my own and and and live on campus. So

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: I was like, that's a shocking development. You learned something

179
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,679
Speaker 1: new about people every day. That's a fun fact. I

180
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: did not know about Rob G. Can I drop a

181
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: fun fact? Absolutely? This is probably embarrassing, But I am

182
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: a huge fan of Panda Express. Do you like that?

183
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: But we have Yeah, pad Express is good. I think

184
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: it's fantastic. I'm such a fan. Um it's just like

185
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: not great food, obviously, but I think it is extremely delicious.

186
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's unhealthy as hell, but um, I think

187
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: it's excellent. Anyways, let's move on from the NCA torn

188
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: by the way. Last year, if memory serves, we had

189
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: a Duke UNC final four and then who was the

190
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: other game? It was Kansas? And I want to say

191
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: it was all blue bloods last year, wasn't it? It

192
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: might have been I think Kansas Villanova. That's right, Villanova

193
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: had the injury and then Kansas whooped him pretty handily. Yes, correct,

194
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: So three or four blue bloods correct? And now we

195
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: go to this year. I mean, here's a thing. Go

196
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: up to one of your text one of your buddies, Hey,

197
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: who you got in the final four? Just just who

198
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: you got in the final four? And they're gonna have

199
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: to sit there and be like, wait a minute, who

200
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: is floored Atlantic playing? And then it's like, oh wait, Cindy,

201
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: is it San Diego State, Florida Atlantic? To be honest,

202
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I looked this up right now

203
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: because I know who the four teams are. But the

204
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: way my bracket has been busted now for seventy two hours,

205
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: so I haven't really been looking at it, but it

206
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: is Florida Atlantic, San Diego State, Miami and Yukon. Yeah.

207
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: So I guess you got two kind of brand names

208
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: on one side of the bracket. Well what are they?

209
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean for you and Yukon? Yeah, I mean, listen,

210
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: what Okay, I like to base it on storylines. Give

211
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: me the storylines for the final four? What's number one?

212
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: There are no blue buds? Right? Yeah, okay, so there

213
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: are no blue buds. Um, what's the number two? I

214
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: don't even know what number two is. I gotta tell you.

215
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. This might be premature to

216
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: say we can get into it later in the week

217
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: if the week goes on, but I think this is

218
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: a horrible development, terrible basketball. Still listen, I love college troops,

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: watch games. But it's definitely not like if my wife

220
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: is like, hey, Saturday, we got to go to a dinner.

221
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: Normally I'd be like, final fourth Saturday, are you kidding?

222
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: No way? But now it's like, yeah, I'll record it, Yeah,

223
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: I'll record I'll watch it later. I might freaking go here.

224
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: Here's a funny one. Oh my gosh, somebody literally just

225
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: texted me this morning. This is how crazy our get are.

226
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: One of the brackets. I'm in Bracket Challenges. So there's fifteen, yeah,

227
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: fifteen guys in the bracket. I think it's like one

228
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty oupot whatever it is. If you look

229
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: at the scoring, I'm in first by one point. But

230
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: are you ready for this? There's two guys tied at

231
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: fifty five I fifty six, Rob. Nobody has anyone, No,

232
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: nobody can get any points in the final four. Nobody

233
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: has any of these teams. One guy surge to third

234
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: on the yukon getting to the final four, but it

235
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: wasn't enough. He loses to me by one point. So

236
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: the bracket contest is over with with the final four

237
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: still there like nothing's hanging in the balance. Rob. That

238
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: is freaking insane. I mean I think that's hell. Like

239
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: that speaks to how kind of garbage is final four is? Brackets? Um,

240
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: I've no you need to even mention that Calcutta. That's toast. Um.

241
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like it's just a tough sell, Like

242
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: if you said to your wife Florida Atlantic, San Diego

243
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: State Yukon, Miami and Florida. What am I talking about?

244
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean geographic, like something geographically right, it's I mean

245
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: San Diego State finally a team west of the Rockies

246
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: is in the final four. Hooray. But I mean, if

247
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: you've watched any San Diego State, I know you're an

248
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: Aztec guy rob claiming them. Dude, that's right. They are

249
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: a brutal watch. They've been a brutal watch for here. Um. Oh,

250
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: and here's here's another funny aspect. So I'm in that

251
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: player pool right, um where you get points for players

252
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: and of course, um, somebody had This guy runs out

253
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: to a huge lead. He's looking amazing. There's only five

254
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: people doing it. It was like one hundred bucks a person. Whatever.

255
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: The guy who's leading it, he leads by seventeen. He

256
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: has zero players left. I have two players left it.

257
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm down by seventeen. Two other guys have no players left.

258
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: Like this, there's like so little interest, Like I can't listen.

259
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: I watched FAU. I can't name without at least doing

260
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: some prep. Anybody on FAU. I know their coaches. Dusty

261
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: may Good story sounds like a wrestler, right. The legendary

262
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: Dusty Rhodes. Like San Diego State, I know them a

263
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: little bit more. Miami, I know them a little bit.

264
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: Tech Uh, Texas, Yukon. Obviously, I know I have the

265
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: big hit on tech On Yukon and I have Bradley

266
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: of San Diego State. Can they score eighteen friggin points

267
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: and give me the pot? I would hope so, But

268
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: we shall see. All right, enough, one more one more

269
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: quickly before we move on. We were texting over the weekend.

270
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: I was on a little bit of a vacation. You

271
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: don't know. I even told you that, but you were.

272
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: I was sitting in traffic at want of the lights

273
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: and I'm driving to the beachfront resort that we were at,

274
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: and you texted me, Hey, can you send me a

275
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: screen grab of my bracket from the Fox Sports radio

276
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: only because I because I don't I forgot my logging credentials.

277
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: You just send it to me so I can see

278
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: what my last eight picks are because I forgotten. Sure,

279
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: I send it to you, and you immediately you're like

280
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: pissed off because you're like, these picks, no one's gonna

281
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: win anything, Like I'm stuck. I went from being first,

282
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm probably falling off the phase of the earth. This

283
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: final four is so bad that with your with your picks,

284
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: which you admittedly said that you hated them once I

285
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: texted them to you. You said you were upset with

286
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: what you had. You knew you were gonna win. You're

287
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: only in fourth even after having I think none of

288
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: the team I think what you had one Elite eight

289
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: team left at that point, Alabama, Memphis, Texas and TCU. Okay,

290
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: but none of them. One Texas had one, but that

291
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,479
Speaker 1: would have been bad for me in another contest. But nevertheless,

292
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: that's it's just like you went for you were so

293
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: upset about it in the tech messages, and then you

294
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: find out that the way this all played out and

295
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: you still only fell the fourth place. That's how bad

296
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: crushed the first two rounds. But you know, after that,

297
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: it's just been crapped. Like anybody who tells you they

298
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: had this final four, I get, I challenge you to

299
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: show me anyone who had two of these four final four. Nobody.

300
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean maybe if you're throwing darts at a dartboard

301
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: and you landed on fau, but like nobody had Miami

302
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Drake should have beat them in the first round. I

303
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: think Drake gave up like a eight one run to

304
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: end the game or something. It was crazy Drake had

305
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: them beat in the first round. Miami should have been out.

306
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: But um, that's let's shoot on the tournament one last time.

307
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: Final four ticket prices last year, year to year. This

308
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: is exactly. I looked this up last night on a Sunday,

309
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: March twenty sixth, So March twenty six, twenty twenty two.

310
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: They get in price for a Final four game was

311
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: three hundred and eleven dollars because they said away at

312
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: the time, right, No, the final four And this was

313
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: when this Final four was set and it was Duke

314
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: Carolina last year, okay, last year, right, three hundred and

315
00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: eleven dollars last night at a round ten pm Eastern

316
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: to get in price for the Final four was one

317
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: hundred and forty three down fifty four percent year to year.

318
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: And you know that price is only gonna go down

319
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: as we get closer. Holy cow, this is bad. One

320
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four dollars is a like courtside No,

321
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, you might as well go see like

322
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: a Houston Rockets game. Man. At that point, I mean

323
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, at least the Houston Rockets are like dunking

324
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: and moving them back exactly. At least you'll get them

325
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: up and down action. Yukon looks good. Miami can. Miami

326
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: can be fun. Their guards are good, but um, I

327
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: don't see how they have any chance at all of

328
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: stopping the big guy Sonogo. I hope what I'm saying

329
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: his name right, but I don't. I'm kind of over

330
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: the tournament. This is crazy, Like it was incredible, but

331
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: I feel like it ended on Thursday Friday when Alabama

332
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: and Houston went down, I was like, Holy cow, this

333
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: has gotten a little too dramatic. Fox Sports Radio has

337
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 1: Let's do a little NBA. I debated whether or not

338
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: I would go Lebron's back, which is kind of interesting,

339
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: or holy hell? What has become of my Dallas Mavericks.

340
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Quick reminder, I've been saying for the better part of

341
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: two years that Luca Dante is the best player in

342
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: the NBA. I have I backed the Mavericks throughout the playoffs,

343
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 1: last year I had them beating the Suns. They go

344
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: to the Conference finals. We knew they had no chance

345
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: against the Warriors, but I loved this team coming into

346
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: this season, kind of flip flopping around. They add Kyrie.

347
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, everybody hates it instantly, I'm like, you know what,

348
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: I think it could work. Kyrie has some Lebron in

349
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: him in that he is giving and he can also

350
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: score whenever he wants to. And yes, that that's real.

351
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: I'm not just talking out of my app I think

352
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: there is some similarity to Lebron and Luca and Kyrie.

353
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: Irving worked really well with Lebron before Kyrie lost his mind. Listen,

354
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: it makes sense that Luca and Kyrie has a chance

355
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 1: and it has been an abject failure as the MAVs

356
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: continue to lose to the dregs of the league. They

357
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: just got beat I kid you not, ladies and gentlemen.

358
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 1: They just got beat too straight by the tanking Charlotte Hornets.

359
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: The tanking Charlotte Horne too start. As Rob G likes

360
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: to say, former Laker z McKay luke, who's a Kansas sniper,

361
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: Dennis Smith, who was drafted by the MAVs, and in

362
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: a funny story, I don't want to give myself credit,

363
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 1: but I kind of broke it about how deteriorating the

364
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: relationship was between Dennis Smith and Rick Carlisle thanks to

365
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: an an odd connection. They did not get along from

366
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: the jump. Dennis Smith was the lottery pick. Rick Carlo's

367
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: like get him away from me did not work. They

368
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: start Gordon Hayward and PJ. Washington's solid and then the

369
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: rookie out of Duke who last year ago this time

370
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: was in the final four, Mark Williams. He had fifteen

371
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: points in sixteen boards. Sunday, Hornets beat the MAVs, and

372
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: this is where it gets interesting. Luca don Chich popping

373
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: off about how unhappy he is and it was like, ooh, spicy.

374
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 1: Then he gets a technical in the game, which is

375
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: his sixteenth. He's now suspended for a game, and you

376
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: start to wonder what change. I'm trying to think what

377
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: change for the MAVs last year conference finals this year

378
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: they're currently out of the playoffs looking in and Luca's

379
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: suspension means this next game against the Pacers is kind

380
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: of sort of massive. Today it's on NBA TV, and

381
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: maybe Kyrie's gonna have to go off because you lose

382
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: this and with what after this? There's like six games

383
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: left in the season. Dalla Mavericks not making the playoffs.

384
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. The big differences that Kyrie Irving joined

385
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: the show. Oh, Mark cuban businessman who loves to roll

386
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 1: the dice, right, that's what entrepreneurs do. Entrepreneurs love to

387
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: take chances. He took a chance on Kyrie Irving, knowing

388
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: full well that Kyrie Irving after hitting the game winning

389
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 1: shot to beat the Warriors in the finals in twenty sixteen,

390
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 1: he decided he was bigger than Lebron, and he did

391
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: get away from Lebron, and he forced his way out

392
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: of Cleveland because who wants to play with Lebron James.

393
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just orchestrator to three one come

394
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: back against the Warriors, the seventy three wind Warriors. But

395
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: who needs Lebron? You know he wants two titles with

396
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: the Heat. Yeah, who needs that guy? I'm doing my

397
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: own thing. Goes to Boston. Boston has a nice young

398
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: core Tatum and Brown are on the come up. They

399
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: had that Isaiah Thomas moment where he was an All

400
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: NBA player for like five minutes. Kyrie's like, oh, I

401
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: like this. It keeps getting hurt in the playoffs, doesn't

402
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: sit on the bench for Game seven. Get me the

403
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: hell out of town. I don't want to be with

404
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: Brad Stevens. No, I don't want this Celtics. Now, I

405
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: gotta get out of here. I'm gonna go do my

406
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: own thing in Brooklyn. What happens in Brooklyn, Well, he

407
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: drags Kevin Durant there. He gets the first coach fired

408
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: because they wouldn't start his buddy DeAndre Jordan. They get

409
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: Steve Nash, which he didn't authorize. I've told you guys

410
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: the story many times of how him and Steve Nash

411
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: just he did not like Nash at all, did not

412
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 1: respect him. Why do we need a coach? You know,

413
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: we could be coaches out there? Brooklyn is an absolute failure.

414
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: They even bring in James Harden, He asked, James Harden.

415
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: James Harden sees Kyrie burning sage in the locker room.

416
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: James Harden, what is Get me the hell out of here.

417
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: The Ben Simmons experiment total total. I mean I forgot

418
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, Rob, I forgot how many times did

419
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving demand a trade out of Brooklyn two three?

420
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I mean going on sabbatical, just doing whatever he wants

421
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: to all around being a knucklehead. And then finally gets

422
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: to Dallas where he gets to play with I don't know,

423
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: I would say arguably, well, no, I will say he

424
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: gets to Dallas and he gets to play with the

425
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: best offensive player in the NBA. How's that Is that better?

426
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: Because I know people say Luca doesn't play defense. Fine,

427
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: he's the best offensive player in the league. And all

428
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the MAVs crater. Luca says he's not

429
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: having fun, he's angry, and the fingerpointing begins, and rob

430
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: who the hell is gonna want to pay Kyrie Irving

431
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: in the offseason? After all he does is ruined any

432
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: franchise he goes to. That's what he's up to right now.

433
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: He is detonating Dallas from the inside. It is a

434
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: train wreck for the MAVs to go from the conference

435
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: finals to out of the playoffs. The blame is on

436
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: one guy. Some people are gonna say, Jason Kidd, Oh,

437
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: Jason Kid's too hard on Luca. Get out of here,

438
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: Get out of here. This is about Kyrie Irving, and

439
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: this is what he does anywhere he goes because he

440
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: always makes it about Kyrie Irving, and Kyrie Irving is

441
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: about himself. He's not about teamwork. He's about his lay

442
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: ups and his points and whatever he's doing off the court.

443
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's he's got some good stuff going on

444
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: with the foundations and being being a good, good leader

445
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: to certain amount of people off the court. But I

446
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: don't know. Folks, Rob, I know you'd like to say

447
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: future Laker Kyrie Irving if they bring him here. Oh

448
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: my god, the Lakers deserve all the smoke that they

449
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: get from Kyrie Irving. I feel like that was a

450
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: direct shot at me because you and I were talking

451
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: before we started recording, and I was like, you know,

452
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: I think more adjacent kid than Kyrie. You're like, that's stupid.

453
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: You know that it's all about Kyrie. Hearing. Um, let

454
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: me just say this, Why is Luca Donche's escaping blaming

455
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: all of this? I understand the Kyrie aspect. I get it.

456
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: His history and his track records suggests that he deserves

457
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: some sort of blame because even if he's a model teammate,

458
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: we don't know that for if we don't, he could

459
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: be I have no idea. His numbers are fine except

460
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: for yesterday's loss. I think he's like twenty eight and

461
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: eight on forty percent from three. So he's been good.

462
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: He's been great on the court, but we don't know

463
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: what it's like behind the scenes. So he could be

464
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: a great teammate. He could be a bad team and

465
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: we don't know. But because his history suggests that every

466
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: locker room he's into is chaotic and you know, contentious,

467
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: will saying I understand why you would blame him. I

468
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: just don't understand though, how Luca don Chi can escape criticism.

469
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: Jason Kidd told us a year ago, Luca done just

470
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: doesn't participate on defense, and we're not gonna win unless

471
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: he does. Said that in Game two against Phoenix, I

472
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: believe when they torched them on a pick and roll

473
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: over and over and over and over and over. Ultimately

474
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: he ended up working out because they want that series.

475
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: They get to Golden State, and Golden State exposes them again.

476
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: This season, they weren't even a good defense to begin with.

477
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: Like last year's team, they played defense other than Luca

478
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: because yet Dorian Phinney Smith was playing hard. You know,

479
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: their wings. Reggie Bullock was okay, you know, defensively Maxi Kleiber.

480
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't seem like he's an athletic guy, but he's

481
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: actually a decent defender. They then then this season they've

482
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: fallen off a cliff and I, in my opinion, teams

483
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: take on the personality of their best player. Luca don

484
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: Chich does not care about defense. Kyrie Irving does not

485
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: really care too much about defense, So it would make

486
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: sense that before the trade they were a bad defense.

487
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: They get rid of their best defensive player, Dorrifhinney Smith.

488
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Kyrie comes over, they're even smaller than they were before,

489
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: so of course they're even worse defensively. Until you start

490
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: buying in and showing some level coming on that side

491
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: of the ball, you're not gonna win anyways. So I

492
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: know it's easy to poke holes at Kyrie Irving, but

493
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 1: I think Luca Dodges has to wear just as much

494
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: as the blame as Kyrie. Fox Sports Radio has the

498
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,959
Speaker 1: me tell you the top defensive teams so far this season.

499
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: Number one Cleveland Calves. I think we would agree they

500
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: and win in the title unless something insane happens. Number

501
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: two Memphis maybe Jazz returnals partum. Number three is Milwaukee,

502
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: Number four Boston, number five Philly. Those are three of

503
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: the five best teams in the league, but Denver currently

504
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: eighteenth in the league in Denver leading the West, Phoenix

505
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: is ninth, Dallas is twenty third. Now, for whatever reason,

506
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: I'm not able to pull up the defensive efficiency stats

507
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: from last season because I'm trying to see if there

508
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: has been a distinct fall off. Okay, here we go.

509
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: Last year Dallas was six, though, Rob, you could be

510
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: onto something. Yeah, they lose it. Imagine that losing your

511
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: best wing defender to double down on offense kind of

512
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: sort of matters. But at the same time, how would

513
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: you characterize Jason Kidd defensive coach or not really offensive coach?

514
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: Because if I look at Luca's stats, he is His

515
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: fudal percentage is up from forty five to forty nine.

516
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: His three point is thirty five to thirty four, not

517
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: a real difference, for he throws seventy four to seventy three.

518
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: His rebounds are a little down, his sister a little down,

519
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: his turnovers are significantly down, and his scoring is up.

520
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: So if you just look at those stats, I don't

521
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: think you could put any of the blame on Luca.

522
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: If you want to paint it on Jason Kidd, you can.

523
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: But who do you think is more likely to survive?

524
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: Jason Kiddy or Kyrie Irvin? Oh, Kyrie, Well, you think

525
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to extend it if they missed the playoff?

526
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think that they're more likely to

527
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 1: keep Kyrie than Jason Kidd. I think they are pot

528
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 1: committed to Luka don Chich Like I know a lot

529
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: of people like Mark Cuban because the Shark Tank and

530
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 1: he's you know, he was on Entourage a few times.

531
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 1: He makes cameos and this show and that show and whatever.

532
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: But history tells us they do a really really bad

533
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: job in Dallas of attracting and keeping all star level talent.

534
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: There was a reason why they kept striking out that

535
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: like DeAndre Jordan, remember that whole situation where you know

536
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: they had to barricade him in his house. Um. Darren

537
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: Williams is from Texas, couldn't get him, Um, couldn't get

538
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard. You know, We're going to Houston of all places,

539
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,239
Speaker 1: then a Dallas, you know, like the list goes on

540
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: and on. They are never able to land the big fish.

541
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 1: So now they have one in hand, Luca don Chi,

542
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 1: and it seems like they've made the wrong decision at

543
00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: every turn in terms of how to keep him at

544
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,959
Speaker 1: be I mean, you know, they get rid of Jalen Brunton,

545
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: or mean they lose him for nothing, which is even

546
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: worse than getting rid of him. Because they lost him

547
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: for nothing, they acquire Christian Wood, who Jason Kidd it

548
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 1: seems has hated him since they've gotten him because he

549
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: doesn't play any defense either, And now in a panic,

550
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 1: because they know that they have to keep Luca happy,

551
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: they acquired Kyrie Irving, who doesn't help them defensively, also

552
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: needs the ball as much as Luca dodges to be

553
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 1: the best version of himself, and is very mercurial, to

554
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: put it lightly so sat vocabulary word on ane. That

555
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: could have been at San Diego. It could have been there.

556
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: It could have been there. But like they are so

557
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: all in on keeping Luca happy that they have no

558
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: other avenues to improve their team. I don't think unless

559
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: they resigned Kyrie, there's there's no other spot right now,

560
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: Kyrie in staying in Dallas. Dude, come on, not even

561
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: for the bag, because it's clear in Brooklyn that if

562
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: they give him gart it's weird. I gotta get out

563
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: of NCAA tournament mode and NBA playoff mode because I'm

564
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: not an NBA free agency mode And what can the

565
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: MAVs do to get better quickly? I don't think trying

566
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: to run it. Well. I'm sure there's some people who

567
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: are like, you know what. You know, they only got

568
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: two months together, would you expect I'm sure someone would

569
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: call up an example. Remember when they traded for this

570
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: person a team and it didn't work. But then this

571
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: in with the full year, with the full off season,

572
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, well, Luca's not gonna be around in the

573
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: off season. You think Kyrie Irving is gonna be around

574
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: in the off season to work together the way quarterbacks

575
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: work with all the young receivers and do those fun

576
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: like team bonding events. You think Kyrie Irving is a

577
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: team bonding guy. You give him the bag, you can

578
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: just forget it. That would just be flushing money. There's

579
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: no way if I'm the Dallas Mavericks I'm keeping Kyrie

580
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: Irving around. I know you don't want to give Luca

581
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: too much power, but I think you absolutely have to

582
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: have a serious sit down with Luca and your cap

583
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: guy and some of the numbers that analytics guys they've

584
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: got in Dallas to be like, yo, this is what's working,

585
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: this is what's not. At this point, you can't suddenly

586
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: expect Luca to become a great defensive player. I think

587
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: you've got to go out and find the three and

588
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: D wings that you lost in Dorian Phinney Smith. Now,

589
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: all this is moot. If all of a sudden the

590
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Mavericks get in the play in, Kyrie turns it on,

591
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: Luca turns it on, and then make a little run,

592
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: which is possible, right, I mean, I guess did in

593
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans get out of the play in and then

594
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: they gave Phoenix a lot of trouble last year. Yeah,

595
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: but they also had former Lake or Brandon Ingram doing work.

596
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he can't hold Kyrie Irving or Luca's jockstrap

597
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: and what is that? What is the hell? Alvarado's nicknamed

598
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: GTA right grand theft because he would hide in the

599
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: corner and steal the ball like he really got under

600
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: Chris Paul skin in that series. Yeah. And you know,

601
00:31:58,040 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: if you the best you can say from a team

602
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: that they gave him a scare. I mean, I don't

603
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: know if that really can they I think they won

604
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: two games, did they know? Yeah? I think they lost

605
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: on six. But did anyone really think the Pelicans were

606
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: gonna do anything? It was just cool that they took

607
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: two games. You know. It was like when the Clippers

608
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: took two from the Katie Warriors. Yeah, you thought the Clippers,

609
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: we'll wrap up with this Rob. This is so tough.

610
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: If I told you, you know, like NCAA Final four

611
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: is like just not that enticing, Right, If I told

612
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 1: you these are your playing games, give me the interest level.

613
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: First up, Bulls Raptors, No right, I can't imagine you're

614
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: into Bulls Raptors in the East. The winner of that

615
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: would then play the winner of Hawks Heat right, Yeah,

616
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Hawks and heat Man Hawks. It's going down both for

617
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: Luca and Trey Young. Remember Trey Young made the conference

618
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: finals two years ago. They backslid. Then they added de

619
00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: Jan to Marie and now those huh so this is

620
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: the Western Conference playoffs. Okay, see, Lakers, I'm telling you

621
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: that's not a layoup for the Lakers in the first

622
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: playing game. Okay, see's given them fits. And I would

623
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: assume shakiljas Alexander, who doesn't do back to backs for

624
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: whatever reason, I would assume he's gonna play. I think

625
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: he did it back to back recently. I'm sorry for

626
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: taking a job. And then somehow the Pelicans who won't

627
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: quit and have won four in a row with your

628
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: guy Brandon Ingram know, Zion them and the Timberwolves like

629
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: those aren't that interesting now if you put tosses, if

630
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: you can sub out, okay, see, give me Luca and

631
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie and you can bring Zion back. That's and you know,

632
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards and Cat those are four really good teams

633
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: still on track for Warriors, Kings, Sons, paper Clips. I

634
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Rob, If it's Denver and Memphis in

635
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: the conference finals, like, well, watch right? But are we?

636
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: And I don't want to be like the snob who

637
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: only cares about the Lakers, But I just know, guys,

638
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: this is how podcasts work. Remember, subscribe, rate and review

639
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: notice how I stopped doing that for like a year.

640
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: It's just we did it. They're already subscribing, coming along. Yeah,

641
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: But Rob, like, I don't know when you see a

642
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: podcast description Nuggets Grizzlies series tipping off like predictions, like,

643
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: is anybody listening to that We're down? We're down immediately

644
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: if that's the headline in any of the podcast stile

645
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: as we put out, we're down ten percent from whatever

646
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 1: the day now if it's going and again, I know

647
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna say, well, that's wrong. You should

648
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 1: just well No, the numbers say if you do a

649
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: pod and Aaron Rodgers take all of a sudden, people

650
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: are more likely to click it. I mean, there's a

651
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: lot of options in the podcast world. So for instance, tomorrow,

652
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: if there's some Aaron Rodger stuff, if there's NFL draft

653
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: rumors or scuttle butt like it's it's just weird, Like

654
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 1: I would love to talk Sacromono Kings, then I do

655
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: want to get a King's guest on this week, But

656
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's gonna go over. Sometimes you

657
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: you got to step outside the box and not care

658
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,960
Speaker 1: what the audience wants. Yes, yes, Jason, you always talk

659
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: about it. Your kids don't want to eat vegetables, but

660
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 1: you make them because they have to. Yeah, I get

661
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:12,919
Speaker 1: it slightly different when you're talking about your health and

662
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 1: podcast listens, you know, But I want to make this

663
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: a destination where it isn't about the title. You just

664
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: want to hear me ramble about my kids dominating youth

665
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: sports and they're not dominating. I should just toss that in,

666
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: all right, rob overall, how was the weekend for you? Man? Anything?

00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 1: listens to the podcast. I do get a lot of

673
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,920
