1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: absolute jam pack show tonight. As you have heard me

10
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: say many many times in the shopping mall of Life Sports,

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: well they're the toy department. Got a lot of stuff

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 2: to get to. We have a lot of toys to

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: play with. It's been NonStop ever since last Sunday's game

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: between South Carolina and Iowa and nineteen million viewers, and

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: it just continued on all week, the Men's Championship, the

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 2: Solar Eclipse, OJ Masters, Tiger Standing from Sex YadA, YadA,

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: right down the line. And you know, it reminds me that,

18
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: after observing everything that's taken place this past week, the

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: court of public opinion remains very powerful. It's a very

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 2: powerful thing. That doesn't mean I agree with it, you know, me.

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 2: I don't get caught up in the group think echo chamber.

22
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Take Kentucky Kentucky basketball. Some might say when the season needed,

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: they needed a priest or a chaplain, Well they got

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: a pope. See what I did there? See you think

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 2: people think Kentucky had a god given right to just

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 2: wave a magic wand and make happen what they wanted

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: to have happen. That they have this cradle to grave

28
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: guarantee that they're just going to be a blue blood

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: no matter what, even though they only have one tournament

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: win in the last five years. But later in the show,

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to very much defend the hiring of mister

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: Pope and why I think he's going to have success.

33
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: Hold that thought bottom of the hour. You know, I

34
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: take shots at the NBA. I have very good friends

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: here in Vegas that bet the sport think it's a

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: garbage product. I won't go that far, but I gotta

37
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 2: tell you in about twelve and a half hours, we're

38
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: going to be treated to a slate of games on

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: Sunday that have real penet race impact implications, and I'll

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: break it down and share with you who has to

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 2: do what to stay in the playing game or make

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: the playoffs or hold their spot in the playoffs, and

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: who's got the tie breakers and we'll break it down

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: for you. But in forty eight hours, Caitlin Clark's going

45
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: to be drafted number one overall and the polarizing aspect

46
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: of her name now is reached monumental levels. And what's

47
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 2: interesting is there seems to be an argument about her

48
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: legacy in the group Think, Echo Chamber, Group Court of

49
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: public Opinion. So let's talk about Caitlin Clark, all right,

50
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: because I have very strong feelings about this. And Jay

51
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: Williams said, well, you can't be the greatest if you

52
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: didn't win a champion. I thought you had to be

53
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: smart to go to Duke. I'm not going to argue

54
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: whether or not Caitlyn Clark Caitlin Clark is the greatest

55
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: of all time, but I'm going to say this, Caitlyn

56
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: Clark has been a singular force who's growing the women's

57
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: game in ways no college player ever has before. Period.

58
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 2: You have never seen a player sell tickets like Caitlyn Clark,

59
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 2: both at home and on the road. You have never

60
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: seen a women's player drive ratings like Caitlyn Clark has

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: You've never had a player bring this many eyeballs to

62
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: women's college basketball. Caitlin Clark took it even a step further.

63
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: She captivated the broader sports fan, the casual sports fan,

64
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: even the sports fan who's a non sports fan, because

65
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: people knew they were watching something different. Caitlyn Clark played

66
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: the game differently. How many times have you seen a

67
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: player here's your teaser, never who consistently brings the ball

68
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: across mid court and makes logo threes. A player who

69
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: can space the floor like Caitlyn Clark did, and then

70
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: frankly manipulate defenders with great precision passing, accurate passing passes

71
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: who had real snap, real velocity. She's one of the

72
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 2: best passers the women's game has ever seen. Maybe even

73
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: the men's game. Oh yeah. Caitlyn Clark also broke dozens

74
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: of records. She scored just under four thousand points in

75
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 2: her career, including thirty last Sunday when IOLA lost by

76
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: twelve to a better team in South Carolina. But give

77
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: it up to Don Staley for her classy comments at

78
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: the end of the game are thousand percent accurate. Caitlyn

79
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: Clark averaged just under thirty two points a game her

80
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: senior year and about twenty nine points a game for

81
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 2: her career. And yes, she passed scoring legends like Pete

82
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 2: Merrivich and Lynette Woodard. And I know people lose their

83
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 2: mind compare on to Pete Merrivitch. We're not. We're just

84
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 2: giving you context. When you hear numbers, when you hear statistics,

85
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: what good are they without context. I'll give you an example.

86
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: This might help you. Let's say you hear the number

87
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: one million. It's a lot, right. Let's say you hear

88
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: the number one billion. Puts the two together. Okay, there's

89
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: no context. Well, if you started to count to a million,

90
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: one second at a time, we'll take you twelve days.

91
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: If you start to count to a billion, one second

92
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: at a time, twelve days, it jumps to thirty three years.

93
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 2: Twelve days, thirty three years. I give you a little

94
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: bit of context. So when you're talking about averaging thirty

95
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: two points a game or senior year and you just

96
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: merely reference Pete Merivitch's name, relax, people, get yourself a

97
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: cool compress, lie down, war music, warm milk, soft music.

98
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: It'll go away. Maybe we're not saying she's Pete merriviage.

99
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: But you have to contextualize her accomplishments because go back

100
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: fifty years, there's been countless players that have come and gone.

101
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: No one did what she did. Doesn't that tell you anything.

102
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: I think those numbers and records are incredible, they might

103
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: even be insurmountable. But again, Caitlin Clark, her impact stretches

104
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: far beyond the record books. She brought a light on

105
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: college women's basketball, women's basketball period that was greater than

106
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 2: anybody who's ever done. End of story. The numbers don't lie. First,

107
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: you had a record nine point nine million viewers tune

108
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: in last year to watch LSU beat Iowa in the

109
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three National Championship Game. Then in the Elite eight,

110
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 2: Iowa beat LSU that averaged twelve million viewers, little over

111
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: twelve million viewers, the most watched college basketball game in

112
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: history and one of the most viewed games in any

113
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: sport of in the NFL over the past year. Then

114
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 2: you had obviously the game with eighteen point nine million viewers.

115
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: The beauty is people aren't just watching Iowa all right.

116
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: For the NCAA, almost three hundred thousand fans attended the

117
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: women's first and second round games of this year's NCAA tournament.

118
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 2: That's an increase of seventy thousand fans over twenty twenty three.

119
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: Just five years ago, that was the amount for the

120
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 2: entire tournament. This was just the first and second round games.

121
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: Does that happen without the Caitlin Clark effect? I don't

122
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: think so. You can think whatever you want. Maybe you

123
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: got a different agenda. Maybe you don't like her, maybe

124
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: you're jealous of her, maybe you're envious of her, And

125
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 2: you know what, that's fine too, because the opposite of

126
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: love is not hate, it's indifference. You're talking about her,

127
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: you're pissing on her parade because you don't like what

128
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: she did. That's on you, man, it's on you. I

129
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: don't agree with Lebron on almost anything, but he said

130
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: something a couple months ago that if you don't like

131
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 2: Kate and Clark's game, you're just a flat out hater.

132
00:07:58,360 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if he meant what he said or

133
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: someone to forum, but that statement is not incorrect. So

134
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is irrespective of what you

135
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: think of Caitlin Clark, she has had an impact on

136
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: sports and women's sports far beyond what we have seen

137
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: and I just gave you plenty of data to back

138
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: it up. Monday should be drafted number one overall by

139
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 2: the inn Anna Fever. Call their box office, try to

140
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: get some tickets. See how much they cost. The inn

141
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: Anna Fever visited a two time defending Las Vegas champion

142
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: aces here twice this year. Call the ticket office, look

143
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: at the aftermarket on what tickets cost when the Indian

144
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: Fever come to town versus the other teams when they

145
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 2: come to town. And oh, by the way, back to you,

146
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Jay Williams, I'm looking at you. You say she can't

147
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: be great or I don't want to paraphrase or misquote you,

148
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: the implication was you wanted a marginalize with her because

149
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: she didn't win a championship. Coming up, tell you what

150
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do, Jay, I'm gonna give you some names

151
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 2: of some very great accomplished athletes, luminaries, superstars who never

152
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: won a championship. And you tell me if their legacy

153
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: is diminished by the way bottom of the hour, We're

154
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: gonna get to this NBA slate on Sunday, Man, is

155
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,600

156
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 2: you bet We are going to get to Mark Pope.

157
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: There's a lot you don't know about him that maybe

158
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: you should. I got a funny feeling Kentucky's gonna love

159
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 2: this hire and he's going to produce results. We're gonna

160
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 2: get to that later in the show as well. Of course,

161
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: at the end of the show. Two Way in Pacific.

185
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: get to everything, honestly because this guy is over promising

186
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 4: things we never have time for.

187
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you blubber list jam in me.

188
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 4: Well you know what it's called over promise. You should

189
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: be good at it because you've been over promising women

190
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 4: for years. Well, it's a Cavino and Rich after show,

191
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,959
Speaker 4: and we want you to be a part of it.

193
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 4: gonna talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I

194
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: are arguing about something or we didn't have enough time,

195
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: it will continue on our after show called over Promised. Well,

196
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,640

207
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: six am Eastern. We are just getting started. We are

208
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 2: going to get to the NBA Raucus Final Day Sunday.

209
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: Plenty on matchups that have major implications. Will break it

210
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 2: down for you, and I do want to get to

211
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: the Mark Pope thing in depth. Later in the show.

212
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 2: I am going to defend the hire by Kentucky, but

213
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: I want to get some things off my chest about

214
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. Is she will be drafted number one overall

215
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: Monday by the Indiana Fever. And I stand by my

216
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: contention that no player has done more to increase and

217
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: elevate the popularity of the women's game the Kaitlin Clark.

218
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: Now they've been by the way, I want to recognize

219
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: and appreciate that there have been plenty of other players

220
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: that have done a lot of things. But in terms

221
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: of selling tickets, TV ratings, all the above that we

222
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: talked about, the the viewing numbers, no hasn't happened. Okay,

223
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: when she gets to the NBA, well, the w NBA,

224
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. We'll de with it then. But

225
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: let's deal with it here and now. Now, Jay Williams said,

226
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: you know she never won a championship. She's in good company.

227
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 2: All right, Let's have a little fun, a role call

228
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: with what I would consider to be a who's who

229
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 2: of phenomenal athletic luminaries who never won a championship. Yet

230
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 2: their greatness and their aura stands in it, you know,

231
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: in a stratusphere that's undeniable. How about any Banks. Let's

232
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: go a little old school start with any Banks this

233
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: beautiful day. Let's play too. He always played the game

234
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: with the smile on his face, hit five hundred and

235
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 2: twelve home runs, won two MVPs during his tenure with

236
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,599
Speaker 2: the Chicago Cubs. Never made a postseason appearance period in

237
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: certainly the Cubs never won a championship, but the zmate

238
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: Ernie Banks any less great. How about Charles Barkley, Charles

239
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 2: Barkley long before Charles was doing incredibly lame, unentertaining commercials

240
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: with Samuel L. Jackson and Mars Blackman, the stupid. My god,

241
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: if I never see those March Madness commercials again, it'll

242
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: be too soon. Barkley was an eleven time All Star,

243
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: a tremendous player on both sides of the court. Never

244
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: got a championship in his sixteen year career. Came close

245
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: to ninety three. He was League MVP. Took the Phoenix

246
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: Suns of the NBA Finals, but they fell to the

247
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: Chicago Bulls. Barkley, however, was the leading scorer also on

248
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: two gold medal winning teams. But okay, Caitlin Clarscott's and

249
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 2: gold medals two my understanding. So the long and short

250
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: of it is this, Barkley never won a championship. Has

251
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 2: it really deteriorated from his image? Not in my view?

252
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: Who doesn't love Charles Barkley. Lakamer Hatim Barry Bonds twenty

253
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: two year career. Among his many accomplishments, seven hundred and

254
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 2: sixty two home runs h's seventy three in a single season,

255
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: only player in history major League Baseball to hit five

256
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 2: hundred home runs, steal five hundred bases. Well, he never

257
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: won a championship though, And I tell you I went

258
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 2: to the two thousand and two World Series, got my

259
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: credential for Game six and seven. That came close. Bonds

260
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: hit fort to seventy one on that series, four home runs,

261
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: two doubles. They intentionally walked them thirteen times. Giants lost

262
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: in seven games. Wasn't Bary's fault. Did everything humanly possible.

263
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: But Barry Bonds has never won, has never won a

264
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: World Series, and apparently he never will. You want to

265
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: go real old school. You know, almost anybody who has

266
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: any rudimentary knowledge of the NFL has heard of Dick Buckis.

267
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: Dick Buckets was the original bit of linebacker, the most

268
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: feared defensive player in his day. Think Lawrence Taylor, maybe worse.

269
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: Over the nine year career with the Bears, he was

270
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 2: an eight time Pro bowler. The guy alone cost twenty

271
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: seven fumbles. He inflicted pain, He had bad intentions when

272
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: he was coming for you. Dick Buckis never won a championship.

273
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 2: Rod Carew, one of the greatest hitters of all time,

274
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: swung a magic wand three thousand hits, seven batting titles

275
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: hit three eighty eight, came close date in four hundred

276
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: and nineteen seventy seven. Nineteen years in the Big leagues,

277
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: did make four postseason appearances with the Twins and the Angels,

278
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: yet never won a championship. Add him to the list

279
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 2: alongside of Caitlin Clark.

280
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 6: OK.

281
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: Fine, you want to talk female women's basketball players, how

282
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: about Tina Charles tremendous eleven year career in the WNBA,

283
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: reached the conference championship around twice with two different teams.

284
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 2: Tina Charles never won a championship. Ty Cobb, undeniably the

285
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 2: greatest player of the dead ball era, set ninety records

286
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball, lifetime batting average three to sixty seven,

287
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 2: won twelve batting titles. Ty Cobb did get to the

288
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: World Series three times, never won a single one. You're

289
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: listening in five seventy AM and Los Angeles. The Los

290
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: Angeles Kings had a guy back in the day named

291
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: Marcel Dion, one of the greatest goal scorers of all time.

292
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: Eighteen years in the NHL, mostly with the Kings, scored

293
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: fifty goals six different times. However, never even advanced past

294
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 2: the second round. Marcel Dion has the most career points

295
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 2: for any NHL player who never lifted a Stanley Cup.

296
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 2: How do you like this list? Caitlin Clark is on

297
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 2: this list? Want me to keep going? I'm going to

298
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: keep going. But Patrick Ewing, we got listeners in New York.

299
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 2: There are very few players that ever entered the NBA

300
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 2: with higher expectations than Patrick Ewing. When he came out

301
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: of Georgetown, he was an absolute superstar. He was the

302
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: centerpiece of the New York Knicks through the eighties and nineties.

303
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 2: Eleven time All Star, three time All Defensive selection, but

304
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: he kept taking soul crushing playoff losses at the hands

305
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 2: of Michael Jordan and even Reggie Miller and the Indiana Pacers.

306
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: Now Ewing helped get the next to two NBA Finals appearances,

307
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 2: but they lost in seven games in nineteen ninety four.

308
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: That was, of course, during the OJ We talked about

309
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: this Friday Night, one of the big games was right

310
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 2: during the slow the the Bronco Chase, and then they

311
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 2: got to the finals in nineteen ninety nine, but he

312
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: missed with a knee injury. Patrick Ewing not a bad

313
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: name on the list. Guess what this list gets even better?

314
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: Have you ever heard of a guy by the name

315
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: of Ken Griffeat Junior. Ken Griffeat Junior, arguably the most

316
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: popular player in the last forty years, played the game

317
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: in the smile on his face. Brilliant all around player

318
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: defensively in centerfield, he was a highlight reel almost every night.

319
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: He single handedly put the Seattle Mariners on his shoulders,

320
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,959
Speaker 2: helped them rise to levels of success they had never

321
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: had before, including their first playoff appearance in nineteen ninety five.

322
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: And who can forget the highlight reel play he had

323
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: a mad dash to score the winning run the nineteen

324
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 2: ninety five Divisional Series against the New York Yankees, one

325
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 2: of the greatest highlights of his career. It was the

326
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: only post series he would win in his entire baseball career,

327
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: and that was at age twenty five. You know, there

328
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 2: were tight ends, and there were tight ends, and then

329
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: there's Tony Gonzalez. Tony Gonzalez, you see, you know the

330
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey's of the world now, and tight end is

331
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: a really prolific position in the NFL. Tony Gonzalez was

332
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 2: way ahead of his time as a weapon a tight end.

333
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: He finished his career as the all time leader in

334
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: catches and receiving yards by tight end caught almost fourteen

335
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: hundred passes, ranked third in NFL. His stream played seventeen seasons,

336
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 2: mostly with the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a pro

337
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 2: bowler fourteen times, won one playoff game, won one playoff game,

338
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: never won a Super Bowl. How about Tony gwyn Have

339
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 2: you ever seen a better pure hitter than Tony Gwynn?

340
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 2: Swung an absolute magic wand I know I said that

341
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: about Rod Crew, But Tony Gwynn same thing. Eight time

342
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: batting champion, fifteen time All Star. He came the closest

343
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: to hitting four hundred of any player since nineteen thirty

344
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: when he hit three ninety four in nineteen ninety four

345
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: the strike shortened season. Now Tony Gwynn got to the

346
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: World Series twice. First in eighty four they lost to

347
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 2: the Detroit Tigers, and in nineteen ninety eight they lost

348
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 2: to that unbeatable New York Yankee team. He never was

349
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: on great teams consistently with the Padres, and even though

350
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: they played, you know they did, the Potterys got swept

351
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: in the World Series one time and they lost in

352
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: five games the other time. But what did Quinn do?

353
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: He had five hundred in the World Series. Tony Gwynn

354
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: never won a championship. Let's fast forward to current players. Now,

355
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 2: the Clippers have designs on winning a championship. I just

356
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: really hope so for my good buddy Ben mallers sake.

357
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 2: They have a player by the name of James Harden. Now,

358
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 2: James Harden has played I think twelve years in the NBA,

359
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 2: been an All Star, ten of the twelve, three time

360
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: scoring champion, MVP of the league in twenty eighteen. I'm

361
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 2: not a fan, but he's still been very accomplished. One

362
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: of the most accomplished current players in the league. Got

363
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: to the NBA Finals with the Oklahoma City Thunder, reached

364
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: the Western Conference Finals three different times with the Houston Rockets. Well,

365
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 2: James Harden also has never won a championship. You know,

366
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: they just raised the statue in Philadelphia for one of

367
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: the toughest small guys in the NFL, in the NBA

368
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: in history, guy by the name of Alan Iverson. Now,

369
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:11,679
Speaker 2: some would argue that Isaiah Thomas was the most prolific

370
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 2: small scoring guard. By the way, Isaiah Thomas did win championships.

371
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 2: He won in Indiana and do with the business. But

372
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 2: Alan Iverson was one of the most influential players both

373
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: on and off the court during his tenure, and in

374
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: two thousand and one, I thought he had one of

375
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 2: the greatest singular efforts in NBA history. He won the

376
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: MVP average thirty one points a game, led the seventy

377
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 2: six Ers to the NBA Finals, and in Game one

378
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: of the series, he scored forty eight points and they

379
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: upset the Lakers in Game one, and that would be

380
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: the only playoff loss that year that the Lakers would endure.

381
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: The Sixers lost the next four. That would be the

382
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: only Finals appearance that Alan Iverson ever made. Alan Iverson

383
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: also never won a championship. I could go on for

384
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: the next four hours. I'll finish with this guy. Jim Kelly.

385
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: No athletes left legacy is more defined by not winning

386
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: the Big One than Jim Kelly, who not only got

387
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 2: to the Buffalo Bills of the Super Bowl, did it

388
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: four consecutive years. They lost all four. Five time Pro

389
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: Bowler Hall of Famer Kelly helped Buffalo get to the

390
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 2: playoffs eight of his eleven seasons, but they could never

391
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: close the deal. Jim Kelly also never won a Super Bowl.

392
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 2: Carl Malone, Dan Marino, Bruce Matthews, Tracy McGrady, Reggie Miller,

393
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: Randy Moss, Anthony Munio, Steve Nash, cam Neely, Chris Paul.

394
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: I'll just stop there. You get my point. We'll see

395
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: what Caitlin Clark does in the WNBA, but to imply

396
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 2: that her greatness is marginalized because she hasn't won a

397
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 2: championship is as wrong as rain on your wedding day.

398
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: And I'll leave it right there. Coming up, the NBA

399
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: playoff tiebreaker scenario. It's gonna take a fail ax of

400
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: a turn and he's in Dallas cowboy cheerleaders to understand this,

401
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 2: but we're gonna give it a whirl. I'm actually looking

402
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 2: forward to this. I got my spot marked out on

403
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 2: my Barker lounger. There are some damn good matchup Sunday

404
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 2: that have some real implications the kind of stuff the

405
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: NBA needs. Get to that coming up, but first let's

406
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: go our guy, the chef, Kevin Wired with the latest.

407
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, three rounds of golf in the books at Augusta

408
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 7: Scotti Scheffler in the lead. He is seven under par

409
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 7: through three rounds. He shot one under on Saturday, good

410
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 7: for a seventy one for the third round. Colin Marikawa

411
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 7: in second place, He's six hunder par, one stroke back,

412
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 7: Max Homa in third two strokes back at five under par.

413
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 7: And one thing to note, Scotty Scheffler's wife do to

414
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 7: give birth to their child any day from now when.

415
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 7: Scheffler has said that if she goes into labor before

416
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,479
Speaker 7: he tees off, and he's scheduled to do so at

417
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 7: eleven thirty five am Eastern on Sunday, then he will withdraw.

418
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 7: So that is one thing to keep an eye on

419
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 7: as we head.

420
00:23:59,200 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: In a two.

421
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 7: UFC three hundred ended with a bang alex Perira with

422
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 7: the knockout of Jamal Hill in the light heavyweight fight

423
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 7: as he wins the main event, the title fight there

424
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 7: in UFC three hundred at Teamobile Arena in Las Vegas.

425
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 7: Other action in sports, Major League Baseball Dodgers hold off

426
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 7: the Padres five to two. There was a rain delay

427
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 7: of over two hours, so that game of just getting

428
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 7: over not too long ago out at Dodgers Stadium. Gavin

429
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 7: Stone took a perfect game into the top of the

430
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 7: sixth inning before it was broken up. The Cubs get

431
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 7: three home runs and a four to one win at Seattle.

432
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 7: The Giants get five home runs in an eleven to

00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,360
Speaker 7: two victory at Tampa Bay. Marlins over the Braves five

434
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 7: to one, as Spencer Strider had his elbow surgery, so

435
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 7: he's officially out for the year. For Atlanta, the Philly

436
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 7: scored a run in the ninth inning to get to

437
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 7: beat the Pirates four to three. Milwaukee eleven to five

438
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 7: winners at Baltimore, and the Royals victorious eleven to seven

439
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 7: against the Mets, getting two wins on Saturday, a doubleheader

00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 7: sweep at Cleveland, the Twins getting two wins against Detroit

441
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 7: as they swepted that doubleheader. Minnesota shorts up. Carlos Korea

442
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 7: went on the injured list with a strained O league

443
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 7: the NBA off today. Every team is going to play

444
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 7: on Sunday, the final day of the regular season, and

445
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 7: we'll have Mark Medina on at midnight to discuss all

446
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 7: of those implications. And in the NHL, Dallas clinching the

447
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 7: Central Division title the three to one win over Seattle,

448
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 7: the Winnipeg Jets blake the Colorado Avalanche seven to nothing.

449
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 7: Those two teams will face each other in the playoffs

450
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 7: first round and on FS one against tomorrow NASCAR at

451
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 7: three thirty Eastern times. Sam Mayor won today's Exfinity race

452
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 7: by just point zero zero two seconds.

453
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 2: Back to you, Bernie, all right, cheff for them those

454
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 2: pipes up. We'll hear from you in a couple hours

455
00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 2: for another performance. Speaking of performances, well, and the future

456
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 2: always has a way of arriving ahead of schedule. And

457
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 2: over the last six months, there have been one, two

458
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 2: and fifteen regular season NBA games, and most of them

459
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 2: you haven't cared about. And when you have things like

460
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 2: load management and the goofiness of the NBA, I mean,

461
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 2: what the hell? There was fan Appreciation Night the other

462
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 2: night in Boston and none of the Celtics starters started.

463
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 2: But I digress. There are fifteen regular season games Sunday.

464
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 2: There were no games Saturday, and this is actually really

465
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 2: going to be a great day for the NBA because

466
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: eleven of those games have playoff implications, including the top

467
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 2: seed in the Western Conference. You got OKC, Minnesota, and

468
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 2: Denver that are currently in a three way time for

469
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 2: first place, and that has never happened in the history

470
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: of the NBA. It's the first time in NBA history

471
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 2: that three teams head into the final day of the

472
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: regular season tied per a top seed like that. What happened, Lucy?

473
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: I just figured Denver was there? Uch, we're gonna do

474
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: the Rob Schneider.

475
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: Oh no, we suck again. Good movie, by the way,

476
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: So you got the number two seed in the Eastern

477
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: Conference that also remains unsettled between Milwaukee. How about those

478
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,239
Speaker 2: lovable Bucks under Doc rivers three and seven in their

479
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 2: last ten But again I digress. So these seeds matter

480
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: to these teams, and the number two seed in the East,

481
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: there are three teams vying for that seed, Milwaukee, the Knicks,

482
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: and Cleveland. And interestingly enough, there are sixteen possible scenarios

483
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: that will determine the rest of the seeds five through

484
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 2: eight the East between Orlando, Indiana, Philadelphia, and Miami. Now,

485
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers, they can solidify the number eight seed with

486
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: a victory, which I think they would dearly want because

487
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: that would give them two chances to get into the playoffs.

488
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: But if they lose to their at New Orleans Pelicans,

489
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 2: and if they lose to the Pelicans, they could fall

490
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: the number ten with that loss so there's all kinds

491
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 2: of tiebreakers scenarios, and I'll just try to mow through

492
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: this quickly. Forget it. The number one seed is Boston,

493
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: it's all set. The number two Sea can go to Milwaukee,

494
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: New York or Cleveland. Okay, Now, the Bucks own the

495
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 2: tiebreaker over the next based on their head to head records.

496
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: But in the three way tie, the Calves own all

497
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: the tiebreakers because they won the Central Division and the

498
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 2: division winners the first tiebreaker a three way tie. So

499
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: anything has come tough for Milwaukee this year. There's just

500
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 2: no way to figure this out, all right. Rather than

501
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: go through this whole Michiegox with the East, let's just

502
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 2: put it this way. The seeds five through eight, Orlando, Indiana, Philadelphia, Miami.

503
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: They could actually finish in a four way tie, but

504
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 2: Miami would get the number five seed as a division winner. YadA, YadA, yaha.

505
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 2: There you have it. I think the West is more

506
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: interesting than the frankly, because if Oklahoma City, Minnesota, and

507
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 2: Denver they all have the same record, they're fifty six

508
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 2: and twenty five. If they all win and it's a

509
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: three way tie for first place, believe it or not,

510
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 2: those young'ins in Oklahoma City, they win the tiebreaker based

511
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 2: on their head to head one lunch percentage of games

512
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 2: played between the three teams. Denver and that situation. So again,

513
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: let's assume that Vert, Minnesota and Oklahoma City all win Sunday,

514
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: Denver would fall to three. If it's a two way

515
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 2: tie between the Thunder and the Nuggets, the Thunder would

516
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: get the better seed based on their head to head.

517
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 2: In a two way tie between Minnesota and Denver, the

518
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 2: Timberwolves have the edge based on division record, and a

519
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: tie between Minnesota and Oklahoma City goes to Minnesota based

520
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: on the better conference record. Did you follow all that, Well,

521
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 2: don't worry about it. Just see what happens on Sunday.

522
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: All I know is eleven of these fifteen games in

523
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 2: the NBA have real meeting. Now there's one thing that

524
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: is set, and that's the four to five seed. The

525
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: Clippers are fifty one and thirty. Dallas is fifty to

526
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 2: thirty one. No matter what happens Sunday, and they could

527
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 2: finish with identical records, the Clippers will win the tiebreaker

528
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: based on a two to one head to headvantage. The

529
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 2: Clippers would get the number four seed. The Maps would

530
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: secure the number five seed because even if they finished

531
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: with the same records in New Orleans, they win the

532
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: tiebreaker based on a better division record. So it looks

533
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: like you're going to have a matchup between Dallas and

534
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 2: the Clippers of four to five in the first round. Regardless.

535
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: Don't say irregardless, that's not a word. Regardless, it looks

536
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: like four or five will be Clippers Dallas. You know what,

537
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: that's going to be a hell of a series, Dallas

538
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 2: is what's seventeen to two down the stretch? You never

539
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 2: know what Kyrie Irving's going to do. And Dallas doesn't

540
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: play a whole hell of a lot of defense. They

541
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: look very dangerous, and I don't I'll bring this up

542
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: with Mark Medina. You know, if kawhi'snee keeps swelling up,

543
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: it's swelling up for a reason. There's an injury. I

544
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 2: don't want to cast as persians, but he might have

545
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: a you know, the miniscus or something. You don't just

546
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 2: have a You don't just have a knee swell up

547
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: on you for no damn reason. Trust me, My daughter

548
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 2: was a Division one soccer player, tour acl three times

549
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: tor Meniskus two. I know things about swollen knees and

550
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: that's not a good sign. I want Kawhi to be healthy.

551
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: I really would like to see the Clippers make some

552
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: noise for once, for once, But I gotta tell you

553
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: that looks like a daunting matchup. So that's the only

554
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: one that's set for Sunday. Basically, in terms of the

555
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: playoff implications, you know what the four to five seed

556
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 2: is going to be in the West. It's going to

557
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: be the Clippers in Dallas that that matchup. Now, the

558
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 2: six to seventh seed is where it gets interesting. If

559
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 2: New Orleans and they got a current record of forty

560
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 2: nine to thirty two, they simply beat the Lakers Sunday

561
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: and that game tips off about twelve hours from now,

562
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: New Orleans is a three and a half point favorite.

563
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,239
Speaker 2: They get the number six seed, and you know they

564
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 2: want that. If the Pelicans lose and Phoenix wins, the

565
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,719
Speaker 2: Suns get the number six seed based on a two

566
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 2: to one edge in their head to head games. Now,

567
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 2: if the Pelicans and Sons both lose, the Pelicans will

568
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 2: get the better record get the number six spots. So

569
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: you gotta watch that because remember in this Man's NBA

570
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 2: the number six, the numbers one through six is in seven, eight, nine,

571
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: and ten. You got to sin for your supper to

572
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: get those last two playoff spots. Finally, we come down

573
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 2: to the eight to nine and ten seeds. The Lakers

574
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: are forty six and thirty five. If they beat New

575
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: Orleans Sunday as a three and a half point underdog,

576
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: they'll earn the eight seed. They'll go on the road

577
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: to play their New Orleans or Phoenix in the seven

578
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 2: eight play in tournament game. You win that game, you're in.

579
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 2: You lose, you still got a second bite at the apple.

580
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: But it's possible the Lakers, Sacramento, and Golden State finish

581
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: in a three way time Now in that scenario, the

582
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 2: Kings win the tiebreaker based on head to hit one

583
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: lost percent in games those two It played beigeen. Those

584
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 2: three teams cumulatively, Sacramento would get the eighth seed, Golden

585
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 2: State would get the ninth, and the Lakers would get

586
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: the tenth. Cee CEE. How interesting this is. Sunday, the

587
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: Lakers could be this seventh seed, or they could beat

588
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 2: the ten seed that pay depending on what they do

589
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: and what some of their other opponents do. Now, in

590
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: a two way tie between the Kings and Lakers, the

591
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 2: Kings e merge because they beat the Lakers all. I

592
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: believe they beat the Lakers all four times this year.

593
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 2: And then a two way time between.

594
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: The Lakers and Warriors. The Warriors also get the better.

595
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: Seed because the Lakers lost to the Warriors three out

596
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: of four this season.

597
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: But if the Kings and Warriors both lose.

598
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 2: Sunday and finish forty five and thirty seven, well the

599
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: Kings win the division tiebreaker. Coming up, I want to

600
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 2: talk a little about the Laker, talk a little bit

601
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: about the Lakers heading into the final day of the season,

602
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: and I want to remind everybody how how this hole

603
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: darn or as Deion Sanders would say, this whole during

604
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: playoff play in tournament works because it can be a

605
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: little confusing. I'll explain it to you, and hopefully I

606
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: don't confuse matters worse. I'm Bernie Frattle. We are coming

616
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 2: New Orleans in a game Sunday that has tremendous implications

617
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 2: for the playoffs in the NBA and certainly the play

618
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: in Tournament. And let's revisit that for just a second,

619
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 2: because with the NBA play and tournament set, the start

620
00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: what Tuesday, seventy two hours, whatever the case to be.

621
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 2: Here's the deal, here's how it works. This is the

622
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,280
Speaker 2: third year they've done this. Now. I know Lebron wanted

623
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 2: the guy who came up with this fired, but Lebron

624
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 2: might want to think as lucky stars because third year

625
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: in a row, the Lakers are a fixture in the

626
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: playing tournament. Now, they've done well in the playing tournament,

627
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 2: even got to the conference finals last year coming out

628
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 2: of the playing tournament. But here's the deal. You got

629
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 2: to sing for your supper if you want to get

630
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 2: into the playoffs. Used to be the top eight seeds

631
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 2: were in no, Now it's just the top six, but

632
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 2: seven and eight in both conferences play each other, okay,

633
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 2: and nine and ten plays each other. So you have

634
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 2: four teams in each conference, seven, eight, nine, and ten seeds.

635
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 2: They will enter the playing tournament, and the top six

636
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 2: seeds automatically qualify for playoff spots. Now, the seventh and

637
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 2: eighteenth place teams, they will face each other, and the

638
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 2: winner of that game is awarded the number seven seed.

639
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 2: In the story, you lose the game and you wait

640
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 2: to see what happens in the matchup between the ninth

641
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: and tenth place teams. They face each other in the

642
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: other game. The loser of that game they go home.

643
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 2: You get nothing in like it, Judge Males, you go home.

644
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: But the winner of the nine to ten game faces

645
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: the loser of the seven to eight game, and the

646
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 2: winner of that game gets the number eight slot. So

647
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 2: the Lakers want to win Sunday because that would get

648
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: them the number seven slot. So should they lose in

649
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: their play game, they'd have a second bite at the apple.

650
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: They would have a chance to defeat the winner of

651
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: the nine to ten game. They have two shots at it,

652
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 2: so clearly they want that.

653
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: So the Lakers.

654
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 2: They head into the final day of the regular season

655
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: looking to make their mark. They want to solidify their

656
00:36:51,080 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 2: spot in the Sandy and the standings entering the game Sunday, Well,

657
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: they sit in the right now if the season in

658
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 2: and today they have the number eight seed. They had

659
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: to grind out a win as a sixteen point favorite

660
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 2: Friday night against the Memphis Grizzlies against the roster of

661
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 2: teams you couldn't name. But you know what, at this

662
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: point in the season, you win games. They don't ask

663
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 2: Kyle just how many the Lakers won that game. It's

664
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: the story of their season. It's the story of the

665
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,320
Speaker 2: Lebron era. And make no mistake, the Lakers are a

666
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 2: franchise of eras period. You had the Wilt Chamberlain Area

667
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 2: era that graduated into the you know that was the

668
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, the Jerry West that morphed into

669
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: the Kreem Abdul Jabbar Magic Johnson era. These are elegant

670
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 2: elder statesmen of the game. Jabbar won championships at UCLA

671
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 2: Magic one of course, at Michigan State. The Lakers were

672
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 2: fixtures in the finals nine out of twelve years. They

673
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 2: won five championships in the decade of the eighties that

674
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 2: morphed into the Kobe Shack era. Another would I consider

675
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: to be very elegant era. Kobe an icon in every

676
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 2: sense of the word. A superstar. Shaquille O'Neil, one of

677
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 2: the most popular athletes to grace the NBA, and he certainly,

678
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: you know, in his post career. And then you've got

679
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 2: the Lebron era, which is clunky, And yeah, they won

680
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: a championship, but I contend I won't take it away

681
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 2: from him. In the bubble. You know, in the you

682
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 2: can check it anytime you want. You can never leave

683
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 2: playoffs down in the bubble. They've benefited greatly from not

684
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 2: having to play for three months and not having to travel.

685
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 2: I'm sorry they were an older team. Look what's happened

686
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,320
Speaker 2: in the years that they didn't have to do that?

687
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 2: All right, they ran out of gas. So the Lakers,

688
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: they've been up and down. But it's simple. If they

689
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 2: can get the win over New Orleans on the road Sunday,

690
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 2: they'll be the eighth seed. But if they lose, that

691
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 2: opens up multiple scenarios for the Lakers, because the two

692
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 2: teams behind the Lakers are the Sacramento Kings and the

693
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 2: gold State Warriors, both of them own the tiebreaker over

694
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Lakers. Not the Lakers were to lose

695
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 2: to the Pelicans on Sunday, they could fall back as

696
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,240
Speaker 2: far as the tenth seed depending on the other games.

697
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: And here's the kicker. It's perceived that both the Kings

698
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: and the Warriors have easier games on Sunday because they're

699
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 2: both at home. Sacramento plays on the Sacramento plays the

700
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: Portland Trail Blazers, and Golden State hosts the Utah Jants.

701
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 2: You couldn't ask for a better scenario for those teams.

702
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 2: A win by either of those two teams with the

703
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 2: Laker loss pushes the Lakers back into the nine ten game.

704
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: So essentially, it comes down to this, and this is why,

705
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 2: if for no other reason, the Lakers Pelicans game is intriguing.

706
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 2: New Orleans is fighting first seed as well. They win,

707
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 2: they clinch the sixth seed. The Lakers win, they lock

708
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: up the eighth seed. This is a playoff game Sunday.

709
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 2: This is the kind of thing the NBA need needs right.

710
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 2: Lakers control their own destiny, something they haven't had in

711
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: a long time. Because the difference between playing the seven

712
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: eight plan game rather than the nine ten game is

713
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 2: significant in my view. Coming up, Mark Medina Medina Magic.

725
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,239
Speaker 2: Three simple words. It's Saturday night. It's that time. Mark

726
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: Medina Medina Magic, our Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. Do

727
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: you hear him all throughout the network throughout the week? Mark?

728
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: How you doing it? Saturday night? Here we go.

729
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 6: I'm doing well. I'm just trying to sort out all

730
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 6: these standings. I've gotten a headache here.

731
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's uh. You need a calculator and a

732
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: faylanx of attorneys in Dallas cowboy cheerleader. So we'll not

733
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 2: probably spend a lot of time on that. But what

734
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: I do want to spend some time on or some

735
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: storylines around the NBA. Uh, let me just get something

736
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 2: off my chest because this kind of bugs me. It's

737
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 2: fan appreciation night in Boston and none of the Celtics

738
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 2: starting five start the game. Am I overreacting? I get

739
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: I get where we're at, But just things like that

740
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: to me bug me about the NBA.

741
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm with you. I still think that it has

742
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 6: to be about they play forty eight minutes phill least

743
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 6: give a little bit of a token appearance. And I

744
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 6: would even say it's beyond that. There is a value

745
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 6: in establishing a little bit of rhythm, so there's not

746
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 6: rushing in the post season. But yeah, I mean, they

747
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 6: lock the number one seed, they're fourteen games up on Milwaukee.

748
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 6: They don't need to play substantial minutes. But I think,

749
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 6: you know, at least a solid ten minute run that

750
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 6: that shouldn't do too much. But you know how it

751
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 6: is these days, they always want to are on the

752
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 6: side of caution. I think that. You know, management's always

753
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 6: staying up at night that if Heaven forbid, they play

754
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 6: any of their guys and they get hurt in an

755
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 6: inconsequential game, you know things won't sit up well from

756
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 6: up above.

757
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 2: No, that's fair. It's a bit of a double edged sword.

758
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: So we'll move on from that. Look, speaking of injuries,

759
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 2: I really want Kawhi to be healthy. But this is

760
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: a third straight Saturday, We've had the same conversation. Honey,

761
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 2: doesn't swell up for no reason. Mark, what do you

762
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 2: expect out of Kawhi? I think this four or five

763
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 2: matchup with Dallas is is really going to be a tussle.

764
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's going to be a tough one whether Kawhi

765
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 6: Leonard is available or not. And clearly, if Kawhi Leonard's

766
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 6: not playing the playoff, this first round matchup is going

767
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 6: to go toward Dallas. But for what it's worth, Tyleru

768
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 6: said that he expects Kawhi Leonard to play in the playoffs.

769
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 6: He's not going to play in the regular season finale

770
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 6: against the Houston Rockets, but I think that they can

771
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,760
Speaker 6: fight that. Well, it's a regular season game. It doesn't

772
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 6: mean anything. They already know they're playing the Mavericks in

773
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 6: the first round. They already know that they have home

774
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 6: court advantage. But I think what we need to pay

775
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 6: attention Bernie is before our next weekly segment next Saturday,

776
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 6: how many practices does he get in before game one?

777
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 6: Because that has been some of the crux here with

778
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 6: this load management era, that when guys are staying out

779
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 6: for a substantial period of time, sometimes when they come

780
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 6: back with injury from injury, they get hurt again because

781
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 6: there's not enough of a ramp up period. And so

782
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,800
Speaker 6: I think it is critical that he gets some practice

783
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 6: time in from five on five because he's missed seven

784
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 6: consecutive games, and I think it would be foolish then

785
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 6: just throw him out for a playoff game where he's

786
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 6: going to be not load managed, he's going to play

787
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 6: substantial minutes. So the Clippers, they do expect them play

788
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 6: for the playoffs. When we do have to keep in

789
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 6: mind they've been always cagy with injury information and they've

790
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 6: always listened as day to day, and when we find

791
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 6: out that he has a much more serious injury, and

792
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 6: that applies to not only his ACL in twenty twenty one,

793
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 6: but even his meniscus last season during the first round,

794
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 6: after he played the first two games against Phoenix.

795
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: See, you're talking about practice, I talk about games, talking

796
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 2: about practice.

797
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 6: Hey, that Allen Iverson statute, Maybe it would have been

798
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 6: even bigger and not shorter if you practiced right well.

799
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: And that was my segue. Nicely done. This wouldn't even

800
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: better than it didn't rehearsal. I would just say this

801
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: has the Allen Iverson statue, you know, keepsake as it were,

802
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 2: been marginalized because not only that it was the size

803
00:44:58,080 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 2: smaller than people thought it should have been, but it

804
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 2: was at the practice facility.

805
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's really weird. You know. It's he's bigger than

806
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,320
Speaker 6: the actual statue at the practice facility. I think that

807
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 6: there's a little bit of like a tongue in cheek there,

808
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 6: you know, the thing. I don't get it. It's really weird.

809
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 6: And you know, he he obviously felt really honored with

810
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 6: the ceremony, because you know, when you get a statue,

811
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 6: it's hard to really complain. But as a fan, I

812
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 6: think that they could have done a lot more. I mean,

813
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 6: I fell the Kobe Bryant statue ceremony a few months ago,

814
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 6: and they went all out and I know that Kobe

815
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,240
Speaker 6: is Kobe, but that's how you do it. It's larger

816
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 6: than life. You give a legend his due, and Alan

817
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 6: Iverson certainly should have gotten a better.

818
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 7: Do of this.

819
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in agreement, all right. Before I dive into

820
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 2: this Lakers matchup against New Orleans here less than twelve

821
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: hours away, Mark, I'm going to take a second to

822
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: get look askance at the NBA. Was the Lakers win

823
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 2: over Memphis Friday night? Tainted due to the game clock

824
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: situation and a couple of non calls? There are really

825
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 2: questions around that game that were odd. Can can we

826
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,479
Speaker 2: talk about that for a minute?

827
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 6: Yeah? Sure, Yeah. I mean I think that it's tainted

828
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 6: from the sense that you don't want so many egregious errors,

829
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 6: especially in a game that came down to single digits.

830
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:35,120
Speaker 6: But I would suspect that the Lakers still would have

831
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 6: prevailed either way. I mean, they shouldn't have been that

832
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 6: close because the Memphis scruzly, they weren't even playing any

833
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 6: of their guys. It was a much diminished version of

834
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 6: even their G League team. But I think that the

835
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 6: Lakers it was that close because they're playing down to

836
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 6: the competition they're playing to the score. So I think

837
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 6: if those you know, calls that you're talking about that

838
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 6: were stakes, if they were made the other way around,

839
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 6: that penalized the Lakers. I suspect that they would have

840
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,720
Speaker 6: prevailed regardless, because for better and for worse, they're playing

841
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 6: through the score of that whole game.

842
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't really disagree with what you're saying, But

843
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 2: with about a minute and a half left, the Lakers

844
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: were up by one. The league said that Lebron should

845
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: have been called for a traveling violation for switching his

846
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 2: pivot foot and he picked up his dribble right around

847
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: the center court. And then about a minute later, the

848
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: league also said that James switch's pivot foot after faking

849
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: a pass to Hachimura, and that Hachimura should have been

850
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 2: called for a shooting file on Gigi Jackson because he

851
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: make contact with his leg. You know, I'm going to

852
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 2: assume you're right that the Lakers might have been able

853
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: to finish his thing. So we'll never know. Onward and upward,

854
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 2: But these are the types of little peccadillos that I

855
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 2: think plagued the NBA because people are harsh. I think

856
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: the NBA product when it's on its game is a

857
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: good product, but I know people that I respectings the

858
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 2: garbage product.

859
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think to this point, while we do

860
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 6: give kudos to the NBA being transparent and admitting mistakes

861
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 6: when it happens, a lot of people around the league

862
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 6: roll their eyes at the last two minute report because

863
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 6: it doesn't change the outcome. And even though I think

864
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 6: a lot of teams internally instruct their guys, you know what,

865
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 6: when you splice plays here or there. Yes, we focus

866
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 6: at the end of the game, but focus on the

867
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 6: entire game. There's so many plays in a forty eight

868
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 6: minute that win or lose a game. But I think

869
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 6: it hits the broader point that when they acknowledge these mistakes,

870
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 6: it doesn't change the outcome. And I think that even

871
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 6: though every referee is technically evaluated and the NBA says

872
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 6: that they determine, you know, for the playoffs, partly how

873
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 6: official performances have been in the regular season, there is

874
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 6: a feeling that there's not enough done to hold referees

875
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 6: accountable for poor performances. But I think when you talk

876
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 6: to people in the league, you talk to the referee side,

877
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 6: they say, look like guys miss shots, coaches miss you know,

878
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 6: make poor play calls or mess up on rotation, or

879
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 6: we're going to go really down this road. It's it's

880
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 6: a sport and it's a human element and everyone makes mistakes.

881
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 6: But I do get the frustrating nature, especially when it's

882
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 6: so egregious and it comes down to a lot of

883
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 6: few possessions in a close skin.

884
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Milwaukee Bucks every so quickly.

885
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 2: I'm not going to bash Doc Rivers. It's become fashionable.

886
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:40,720
Speaker 6: They are not the equipment manager.

887
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 2: Instead, Well, we could do that. We certainly do that.

888
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: There are three and seven in their last ten. That's

889
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,920
Speaker 2: not a good look, the honest thing, uh, and is unfortunate.

890
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,959
Speaker 2: Part of the reason, uh, I want to talk about

891
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 2: the Bucks is ironically their former coach, Mike Budenholzer that

892
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 2: they kind of ran out of town. I get it.

893
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 2: I think he's a for the Brooklyn next job. You

894
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 2: can talk about that, But what's the what's the consensus

895
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: about the Bucks heading into the playoffs? Is this just

896
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: going to be a lost season?

897
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 8: Yeah?

898
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 6: I mean, look, theoretically, when the playoffs start, teams can

899
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 6: flip the switch. I think the challenge is the Bucks.

900
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 6: They're not coming off a championship season. They haven't shown

901
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 6: a complete body of work. They've only shown flashes of it.

902
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 6: And the Boston Celtics, you know, they're a juggernaut. So

903
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 6: I think is it a lost season? Not only is

904
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 6: about time will tell, but I think that there's going

905
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 6: to be a value and intent of what do you

906
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 6: make of the team based on how they lost. If

907
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 6: they lost to the Celtics in a somewhat competitive series,

908
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 6: I think it would be more of tip your hat

909
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 6: to Boston and Milwaukee should improve from within. But today,

910
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,920
Speaker 6: you know, having forbid lose in the first round and

911
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 6: they just get embarrassed. It's terrible to think this way

912
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 6: because they've already made so many changes, but you have

913
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 6: to think, okay, what else do we need to do

914
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 6: to make hard decisions? And you know, with that said,

915
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 6: you can't say, okay, we're trading Meanness or Damien like

916
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 6: those are your guys. But they really have to look

917
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 6: at what kind of roster do we assemble around those guys?

918
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 6: And it's Doc the right head coach. You know, I

919
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 6: think in fairness to Doc, he's not the main problem.

920
00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 6: You know, he inherited a team that had problems before.

921
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 6: There's a reason why they fired Adrian Griffin, and they

922
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 6: have shown defensive improvement under Doc, but there's a lot

923
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 6: of things that show that there's a lot of things

924
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 6: that they got to fix this offseason if it is

925
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 6: an ugly playoff act. So again, if they run up

926
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,440
Speaker 6: against Boston East finals and they lose, maybe it's about

927
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 6: just building off of this into next season and kind

928
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 6: of lean on the benefits of having more time together.

929
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 6: But yeah, they they've been very inconsistent and because of that,

930
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 6: I kind of believe that that what they're going to

931
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 6: be in the playoffs.

932
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 2: Is there ever a scenario where Doc is not back next.

933
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 6: Year, I haven't heard anything, but I guess you just

934
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,720
Speaker 6: never rule things out of professional sports. But that being said,

935
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 6: if I were to guess what changes were to be made,

936
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 6: I think it would be roster focused first, then coach

937
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 6: driven because he was a mid season coaching higher and

938
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 6: in fairness to Doc, he didn't have a training camp,

939
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 6: he didn't have a lot of time. You know, he

940
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 6: is a talented roster, but I would think he'd be back.

941
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,399
Speaker 6: But again, it's professional sports and anything can always happen.

942
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 6: But you know what in fairness, let's see how the

943
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 6: playoffs actually play out.

944
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 2: That's fair. Continuing with Mark Medina or Fox Sports Radio

945
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 2: NBA Guru, all right, it's less than twelve hours away

946
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 2: to tip off between the Lakers and Pelicans. This is

947
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 2: a de facto playoff game. The Lakers need to win Sunday, right.

948
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: We know that if they win, they lock off the

949
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 2: eight seed. But New Orleans is they're fighting for seating

950
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 2: as well. If they win, they clinched this. Give me

951
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 2: your overview heading into this game, because I think this

952
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 2: is a real referendum on both teams.

953
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look that you outline the scenarios perfectly.

954
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 6: New Orleans doesn't want to have to be in the

955
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 6: play not to say that they would want to play

956
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 6: any combination of OKC, Minnesota or Denver in the first round,

957
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 6: but at least they know they're in the playoffs. But

958
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,839
Speaker 6: you know, they have some question marks of their own,

959
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 6: you know, brandon Ingram just coming back from injury. You know,

960
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 6: they have played a lot better because they have had

961
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:38,680
Speaker 6: more time together with Zion Williamson and CJ. McCollum. But

962
00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 6: keep in minds the Lakers blew them out pretty wholeheartedly

963
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 6: in that ever important indseason tournament NBA Cup Championship game.

964
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 6: And you know, I think that the Lakers they've been

965
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 6: checking and hide, but they're going to play all their guys.

966
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 6: Lebron James is used to high stakes games, same thing

967
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 6: with Anthony Davis, and I think that both teams are

968
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 6: going to just go all out. It's going to be

969
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 6: a fun game and really flip a coin on who

970
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 6: winds up, you know, out on top. So stay tuned,

971
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 6: it'll be fun to watch.

972
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: It's going to be very fun to watch. And there's

973
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 2: one other footnote to this game. Let's say, for just

974
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 2: for purposes of this discussion, the Lakers win, well, they

975
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:25,080
Speaker 2: get to play the Pelicans again a few days later.

976
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 2: What do you do? Do you hang out in New

977
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 2: Orleans or do you go back home?

978
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 6: That's a good question, That's it's a fair question.

979
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got a lot of old you got

980
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 2: a lot of old heads on this team. Do you

981
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: really want to fly back and forth or what do

982
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 2: you want to do?

983
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:45,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a good question. I would think that they

984
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 6: would stay in New Orleans because of the time, and

985
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 6: it's not like they're there for a whole week, and

986
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:55,880
Speaker 6: you know, attrition is very important to manage. If it

987
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 6: was a first round matchup and they wait for later

988
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 6: in the week, I think that they would just go

989
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 6: back that way. But yeah, if it's a playing game,

990
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 6: I think that they would wind up slug.

991
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: I think they would. I think, you know, there's always

992
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 2: a danger Lebron might want to close down Smoothie King

993
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 2: one night and go nuts. You know, but we can get.

994
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 9: It.

995
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 6: Just want to make any sense, because they play, they

996
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 6: would play on Tuesday, so yeah, I would.

997
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 2: Think, right, yeah, Well here's the thing, uh, Mark, I've

998
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 2: been very vehement about the fact. While I'll give the

999
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:31,399
Speaker 2: Lakers their flowers because they won the championship at twenty twenty,

1000
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: and what I was calling the you know, the Hotel

1001
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 2: California playoffs you can check on anytime you want and

1002
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 2: you can never leave because they didn't have to travel

1003
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: and they had two months off and listen, all time

1004
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 2: off is not created equally. And you know, since then,

1005
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 2: the Lakers have run out of gas in the playoffs

1006
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:52,040
Speaker 2: every year. So this will be a fun game to watch.

1007
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 2: Final thoughts, Mark, as we head into the final day

1008
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,080
Speaker 2: of the NBA season, Well.

1009
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 6: Well, if you don't mind me being a defender here

1010
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 6: of the Lakers Bubble Championship since I was there for

1011
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 6: half of it. Sure, you know, as one of the

1012
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 6: writers of USA today, I would argue that of all

1013
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 6: the challenges and benefits of being in the bubble, I

1014
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 6: think the challenge is vastly outweighed the benefits. And so,

1015
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 6: you know, I know that a lot of people put

1016
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 6: the asterisk on the Lakers title in twenty twenty. I

1017
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 6: put an explanation point. There's a reason why they were

1018
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 6: one of the last few standing. It wasn't just about talent.

1019
00:56:27,719 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 6: They had the mental resiliency to get through that bubble.

1020
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 6: And while they certainly benefited from the fact of not

1021
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 6: having to travel and certainly having you know, time to

1022
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 6: recover from when the season restarted or was put on

1023
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 6: pause during the pandemic, you know, all the other teams

1024
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 6: had the same set of cards and weren't able to

1025
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 6: overcome that. So, yeah, it's it's a tough thing, but

1026
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 6: I think that that Lakers Championship should be looked back

1027
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:56,200
Speaker 6: in more lbaudatory terms than an actual punchline.

1028
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 2: Well, and this is my rejoinder to that. First of all,

1029
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: I don't put an asterisk on the championship. Everybody had

1030
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: the same set of rules, all right, Roger Morris had

1031
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 2: seven more games to hit sixty one home runs a babe, ruth.

1032
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 2: Did they put an asterisk on it? Not because the

1033
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 2: accomplishment was any less, but because they played a different

1034
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 2: amount of games. You don't play, you don't put an

1035
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 2: asterisk on it. Because everybody had this was dealt the

1036
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: same hand. However, I contend that thirty six and thirty

1037
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 2: seven year old legs and people like Lebron who didn't

1038
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 2: have to travel and got two months off, benefited mightily

1039
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 2: from that rest, much more so than some of the

1040
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 2: other younger teams, notwithstanding the fact that they had to

1041
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 2: deal with the pressures of being sequestered in the bubble

1042
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 2: as well like everybody else did, and maybe because of

1043
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 2: their veteran presence they dealt with it better. But I

1044
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 2: contend that had it been not a regular season, or

1045
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 2: had it been the same regular season, they might not

1046
00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:53,960
Speaker 2: have won that championship. I think they benefited more from

1047
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:56,959
Speaker 2: the rest, while not taking anything away from the fact

1048
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,880
Speaker 2: that perhaps they dealt with being sequestered better than some

1049
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 2: of their competitors.

1050
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1051
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 2: No, doubt.

1052
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 6: I mean, it's the ultimate what if all these variables

1053
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 6: factor into things? But yeah, I mean it's going to

1054
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 6: be a lot of good material for that thirty for

1055
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 6: thirty doc in years to come.

1056
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty for thirty doc. LEBROWNI and Lebron. How many

1057
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 2: championships do they win together? I'm on the floor together,

1058
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,200
Speaker 2: by the way, not two, not three? Well, look at you,

1059
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 2: Look at you now, you're just showing off. All right.

1060
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 2: Last question, when we talk next Saturday night with a

1061
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 2: Lakers still be in the tournament, I think so, you know.

1062
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 6: I think that they'll I think they'll win the plan.

1063
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 6: You know, I think that they are right for a

1064
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 6: team to win a plan because you never bet against

1065
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:48,240
Speaker 6: Lebron and Anthony Davis and well, I do have questions

1066
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 6: about their durability during a long postseason run. As far

1067
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,280
Speaker 6: as planned, you just need to buss shirt up for

1068
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 6: one or two games. I expect them to be in

1069
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 6: the playoffs next weekend.

1070
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 2: Good stuff, man, let's for the next Saturday Already. It

1071
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: never fails. There's always plenty of high jinks and plenty

1072
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: of headlines as we as we talk NBA with our

1073
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 2: NBA guru, Mark Medina, here on Fox Sports Radio. Mark,

1074
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 2: enjoy your Sunday.

1075
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 6: I appreciate you, sir.

1076
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Mark again. That is Mark Medina, our

1077
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio NBA guru. All right, Tiger Woods shot

1078
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 2: an eighty two Saturday. He did make the cut for

1079
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 2: the twenty fourth time in a row, and at forty

1080
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 2: eight years old, you have to really applaud Tiger Woods.

1081
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 2: But it turns out that his experiment abstaining from sex,

1082
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: I can't say it worked. I can't say it worked.

1083
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:46,080
Speaker 2: And when Tiger was, you know, combing the well which

1084
00:59:46,120 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: we say the the waffle houses with regularity and doing

1085
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:53,240
Speaker 2: his deal, he did much better. How dominant was Tiger

1086
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 2: from a betting point of view back in the day

1087
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 2: when he was a fixture at the waffle house. Have

1088
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: a little fun with a little T tag team wrestling.

1089
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how dominant he was, and I mean dominant.

1090
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle. We're Company Life from Las Vegas, Fox

1094
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 2: Company Life from the Tarrack Dot Com Studios here in

1095
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 2: Los Vegas. Coming up after the Chef's update, I'm going

1096
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 2: to defend Kentucky's decision to hire Mark Pope and explain

1097
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 2: why I think he can have success. Speaking of success,

1098
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 2: Tager was one hundred and twenty five to one to

1099
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 2: win the Masters not so much shot on eighty two Saturday,

1100
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 2: did make the cut twenty four in a row, said

1101
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 2: he was going to abstain from sex. That was going

1102
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 2: to be his that was going to be his big

1103
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 2: deal this time to uh, okay, forget it. Let's just

1104
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 2: let's get off of that. Back in the day when

1105
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 2: Tiger was the king of the the uh what the

1106
01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 2: h full house Tour? You know where I'm going with that,

1107
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 2: he was pretty dominant. Between nineteen ninety seven and twenty thirteen,

1108
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 2: Tiger played in sixty four major tournaments, sixty four majors.

1109
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,520
Speaker 2: Tiger was listed as the favorite and fifty eight of

1110
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 2: the sixty four. He was one hundred and twenty five

1111
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: to one this past week. And I get it, he's

1112
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 2: forty eight years old now. Tiger won fourteen of those majors,

1113
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 2: including finishing in the top five and thirty one of

1114
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: sixty four major tournaments unheard of. Between nineteen ninety seven

1115
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 2: and twenty thirteen, Tiger was only ten to one or

1116
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 2: higher just three times, and he made the cut all

1117
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 2: three times, finish his highest third in the nineteen ninety

1118
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 2: nine US Open. This is the part that blows me away.

1119
01:01:41,520 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 2: Back in April fifth, two thousand and seven, the two

1120
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 2: thousand and seven Masters, no remember Tiger's coming off back

1121
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,919
Speaker 2: to back major wins at the PGA and the British Open,

1122
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 2: and he'd finished third the Masters the year before. Tiger,

1123
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 2: for the only time in his career, was the odds

1124
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 2: on favorite. He had to lay minus one twenty five

1125
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: to win one hundred win the Masters in two thousand

1126
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 2: and seven. That's how dominant Tiger was back when he

1127
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: was combing the waffle houses one hundred and twenty five

1128
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 2: to one. That means if you put up one hundred

1129
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: and twenty one hundred dollars this weekend and Tiger would

1130
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 2: have won, you'd have won, you know, one hundred and

1131
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 2: twenty five times one hundred. But back in two thousand

1132
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 2: and seven, you would have had to put up one

1133
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five dollars just to win one hundred,

1134
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 2: All right, Tiger. I don't know if this is your

1135
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 2: last Masters or not. You did make the cut, maybe

1136
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,240
Speaker 2: next year resume your old regimen. I think it seemed

1137
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 2: to work better for you. Coming up, I'm going to

1138
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 2: defend the Kentucky hire of the Pope. Maybe they need

1139
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: a priest, maybe they need a chaplain. They got themselves

1140
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 2: a pope. I think it's gonna work, and I'm gonna

1141
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,680
Speaker 2: explain why. But first go back to our guy.

1142
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 7: The chef with the latest Yeah, Tiger Woods of course

1143
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 7: plummeting down the leader board in AUGUSTA were through three

1144
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 7: rounds at the Masters tournament. It's Skye Scheffler who is

1145
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 7: in the lead after Saturday. He's seven under for the

1146
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 7: tournament and hit one under four Saturday seventy one in

1147
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 7: round three. Colin Morrikawa in second place at six under.

1148
01:03:08,880 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 7: He had one of the best rounds on Saturday at

1149
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 7: three under par, shooting sixty nine for the day. Max

1150
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 7: Holma in third place. He is at five under Scotti Scheffler,

1151
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 7: though his wife expected to give birth any day now,

1152
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:25,560
Speaker 7: and Scheffler did say that if she were to go

1153
01:03:25,640 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 7: into labor before he teas off and he's scheduled to

1154
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 7: do so at eleven thirty five am Eastern on Sunday,

1155
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 7: Scheffler said he would withdraw to attend to the birth

1156
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:39,080
Speaker 7: of his child. Elsewhere in sports, UFC three hundred and

01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 7: by a couple hours due to rain, end up beating

1162
01:03:55,160 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 7: the Padres five to two as Gavin Stone took a

1163
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 7: perfect game into the sixth inning before it was eventually

1164
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 7: broken up. The Cubs win four to one against Seattle

1165
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 7: on three solo home runs. The Giants get five home

1166
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 7: runs of their own as they blow out Tampa Bay

1167
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 7: eleven to two. Marlins over the Braves five to one

1168
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,560
Speaker 7: as Spencer Stryder did have his elbow surgery, so he

1169
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 7: is officially out for the year. The Philadelphia Phillies gonna

1170
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 7: run in the ninth to get by Pittsburgh four to three.

1171

1173
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 7: win at Cleveland. The Twins sweep their doubleheader with Detroit.

1174
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 7: Minnesota shorts up Carlos Corea, though going on the injured

1175
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 7: list with a strained o league the NBA off Saturday.

1176
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 7: Every team will be in action on Sunday, and there's

1177
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 7: still several playoff implications to determine the final seating order

1178
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 7: for the playoff field. And in the NHL, the Dallas

1179
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 7: Stars have clinched the Central Division title with a three

1180
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,920

1181
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,520
Speaker 7: it's blank the Avalanche seven to nothing. And those two

1182
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 7: teams haven't seen the last of each other. They're going

1183
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 7: to face each other in the first round of the playoffs.

1184
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 7: NASCAR on FS one again on Sunday at three thirty

1185
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 7: Eastern times. Sam Mayor winning Saturday's Xfinity race by just

1186
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 7: point zero zero two seconds.

1187
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: Back to you, Bernie, all right.

1188
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin. All right. So earlier this week, obviously, John

1189
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 2: Calipari heading to Arkansas opened the door for Kentucky to

1190
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 2: hire a new coach, and all the big marquee names,

1191
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 2: you know, my understanding, they never even ended up talking

1192
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 2: to Billy Donovan, which is who a lot of people

1193
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,479
Speaker 2: thought might have been a great choice. Well, he would

1194
01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 2: have been a great choice, but not that he was

1195
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: going to leave the Chicago Bulls. We'll never know clearly.

1196
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:55,439
Speaker 2: You know, Natos was not going to leave Alabama. Could

1197
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 2: you blame him? Clearly? Dan Hurley was not going to

1198
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 2: leave Yukon? Could you blame him? And for a minute

1199
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: it looked like that Kentucky might be able to land

1200
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Scott Drew. And you really can't say enough things good

1201
01:06:07,400 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 2: things about Scott Drew if you understand the history of

1202
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 2: what he's done at Baylor. Ironically, the mention of Scott

1203
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 2: Drew with Kentucky fans really, frankly drew a lot of

1204
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 2: luke warm takes. They weren't really down with Scott Drew.

1205
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 2: And this is a guy who took over a program

1206
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 2: that made one NCAA tournament in fifty two years. Scott

1207
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 2: Drew turned them into a perennial contender, including the national

1208
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 2: championship title. That would be like going to Kentucky in

1209
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,680
Speaker 2: football in the SEC and putting them in the championship game.

1210
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,800
Speaker 2: That's what Scott Drew did for Baylor. He took over

1211
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 2: in very scandalous times, I mean brutal Drew staying at Baylor,

1212
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 2: So Kentucky ends up hiring Mark Pope. Well, who is

1213
01:06:52,760 --> 01:06:55,680
Speaker 2: Mark Pope? All right, He's now the twenty third head

1214
01:06:55,720 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 2: coach in Kentucky's history. Kentucky, He's had an incredibly storied history,

1215
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 2: and that's the thing a lot of people haven't. So

1216
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 2: let's introduce you to Mark Pope, because he's not Chopliver.

1217
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 2: He did start his college career at Washington, but did

1218
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 2: play two years at Kentucky, and he was a captain

1219
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,880
Speaker 2: on the nineteen ninety six team at Kentucky that won

1220
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:21,600
Speaker 2: the national championship against Syracuse. Pope, I know, I hear,

1221
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 2: I hear the complaints. He hasn't won a single tournament game,

1222
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 2: got byu to the tournament three of the last five years.

1223
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 2: Well he would have went and did twenty twenty, but

1224
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs were canceled. But what Kentucky won won tournament

1225
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 2: game since twenty nineteen, So the bar is not anywhere

1226
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 2: near the same at Kentucky. I don't care what anybody says.

1227
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 2: You don't have a god given right to go cradle

1228
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 2: the grave, to beat your chest and say you're great.

1229
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 2: You got to you got to prove it. On the court,

1230
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:50,919
Speaker 2: and when you're losing to Saint Peter's and you're losing

1231
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: the Oakland. By the way, Goldland very well coached team,

1232
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:54,880
Speaker 2: they deserve to win the game. But that's not what

1233
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,680
Speaker 2: they expect at Kentucky. Here's why I think it can

1234
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 2: work with Mark Pope. First of all, if you look

1235
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 2: at his teams at BYU, they ran a very dynamic offense.

1236
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 2: They were ranked typically top fifteen, below top fifteen, less

1237
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: than top fifteen in offensive efficiency. All right, they play

1238
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 2: Mark Polpe has presided over offenses and analytics style basketball,

1239
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 2: which is big in college right now, meaning he gets

1240
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 2: kids that can choot threes. BYU was I mean they

1241
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 2: got off the bus and started shooting. They attempted thirty

1242
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 2: two to three pointers per game last year. That rank

1243
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 2: number two nationally. Now that may not be your cup

1244
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 2: of tea, but the computers love it, and if you

1245
01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 2: make them, you win championships or you compete. Okay, it

1246
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:46,839
Speaker 2: means a lot. The Cougars were number fourteen in offensive

1247
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 2: efficiency with Ken Palm, even though clearly, if you tell

1248
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 2: me the roster he had a BYU was anywhere near

1249
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 2: the talent that the future teams in Kentucky are going

1250
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: to have than you're wrong. And and by the way,

1251
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 2: BYU two years ago or last year finished with a

1252
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 2: twenty two scoring offense and he has what's called a

1253
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,879
Speaker 2: five out offense. I think it's gonna sell well at Kentucky.

1254
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 2: There's a good reason. Mark Pope, as hail is one

1255
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 2: of the great actions in a young axis and all

1256
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 2: coaches in the sport. And I think you'll see Pope

1257
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 2: come to Kentucky. He'll he'll prioritize the three point shooting

1258
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 2: in the portal and in recruiting, and he'll run a

1259
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 2: version of the offense he ran at BYU. But he's

1260
01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 2: gonna have a much deeper talent pool and it's gonna

1261
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 2: be exciting to watch. Mark my words, they're gonna win

1262
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:42,040
Speaker 2: games at Kentucky with Mark Pope. Secondly, you got to

1263
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 2: remember Mark Pope had success at BYU even though they

1264
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 2: have obvious recruiting restrictions. Right, and all of a sudden,

1265
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 2: BYU jumped from the conference they were in the year before,

1266
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 2: and they're into the Big Twelve. The Big Twelve was

1267
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 2: arguably the best conference in college basketball. What did Mark

1268
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 2: Pope do? He went twenty three and eleven finished fourth

1269
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve, the toughest conference in college basketball.

1270
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 2: By the way, BYU in case you missed it, they

1271
01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,600
Speaker 2: beat Kansas last year. They beat San Diego State, they

1272
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,800
Speaker 2: beat North Carolina State. Didn't they get to the final four?

1273
01:10:14,960 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 2: They beat Iowa State, did in Iowa State crush Houston

1274
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 2: in their tournament game conference tournament game. All of those

1275
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 2: teams Kansas, San Diego State, n C State, and Iowa

1276
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 2: State all lost to BYU last year coached by Mark Pope,

1277
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 2: and all those teams did pretty well in this year's

1278
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament. Going back further, Mark Pope, he is he

1279
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 2: gets credit. There have been five twenty win seasons at

1280
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 2: Utah Valley. Okay, now let me let me set this up.

1281
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 2: I didn't set that up properly. Prior to coaching at BYU,

1282
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:57,640
Speaker 2: Mark Pope coached at Utah Valley. In the history of

1283
01:10:57,680 --> 01:11:03,000
Speaker 2: their school, they've had five twenty wins. Mark Pope got

1284
01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:05,719
Speaker 2: the credit for two of them. He coached one hundred

1285
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 2: and sixty two games and won one hundred and ten

1286
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:11,240
Speaker 2: at Utah Valley. He's never been in a situation where

1287
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,599
Speaker 2: he's had an nil budget that was sizable he's never

1288
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 2: had a recruiting advantage. He's never been part of a

1289
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 2: blue blood that can recruit itself. And so therefore you

1290
01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 2: haven't seen this guy's ability and his coaching prowess on

1291
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 2: game day combined with a massive recruiting budget, and combined

1292
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:36,799
Speaker 2: with a talent pool that can produce long term results.

1293
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 2: Mark Pope won anyway, So why couldn't he do that

1294
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 2: at Kentucky. Well, the other thing, Mark Pok I do

1295
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 2: also believe he understands what he's walking into there at

1296
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:53,759
Speaker 2: Big Blue. All Right, He's an alum, and maybe sometimes

1297
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 2: hiring an alum is a double edged sword. However, I

1298
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 2: think in this particular case, it's a little bit. I

1299
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 2: think you're going to have a situation where Kentucky's gonna

1300
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 2: have to war them up to Mark Pope because the

1301
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 2: coaching search didn't go the way the fans had hoped.

1302
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:13,680
Speaker 2: But if there's a guy that can get goodwill out

1303
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 2: of the Kentucky fan base, and he's got a very

1304
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 2: dynamic personality by the way. Okay, captain of the nineteen

1305
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 2: ninety six National champion Wildcats. Some people feel that team

1306
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:26,600
Speaker 2: was the best Kentucky team in history. I don't know,

1307
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 2: certainly not for debate. And now we are in an

1308
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 2: era where whipping up nil money is part of the

1309
01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,920
Speaker 2: head coach's job description. But if you know Mark Pope

1310
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 2: and his personality, he's going to settle in and play

1311
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 2: politics at Lexington and rub elbows and do better than

1312
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:45,960
Speaker 2: you think he will. And I don't think he's the

1313
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,759
Speaker 2: type of guy who's going to be very much bothered

1314
01:12:48,800 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 2: by knowing he was their fourth or fifth choice. What

1315
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 2: Kentucky is getting is a guy who's stable and steady

1316
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 2: and who's going to preside over his program with a

1317
01:12:58,479 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 2: steady hand. He's not going to be intimidated by the

1318
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,480
Speaker 2: bright lights. He's proven he can win in lesser situations,

1319
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 2: and he plays a modern analytics style of basketball. I

1320
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:14,440
Speaker 2: am predicting that Mark Pope will have success at Kentucky.

1321
01:13:15,760 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 2: Now there are some reasons why he might not. He's

1322
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 2: following John Calipari. Calipari was the heaviest hitter on the

1323
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 2: trail when it came to recruiting. He's a one man

1324
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 2: wrecking crew. He had what forty six guy or thirty

1325
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 2: five guys drafted in the first round at Kentucky. We

1326
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:36,439
Speaker 2: don't know if Mark Pope is a proven recruiter along

1327
01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 2: the vein of John Calipari. That has to be that

1328
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,920
Speaker 2: has to be proven. His leashed might be short when

1329
01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 2: you go to Lexington. There's no such thing as a

1330
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 2: slow rebuilding program. And like him or not, fifteen years

1331
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:55,440
Speaker 2: Calipari had, Pope is basically replacing a legend who routinely

1332
01:13:55,680 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 2: landed elite recruiting classes and put guys in the NBA. Now,

1333
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 2: if Pope does have one bad season, maybe the tie

1334
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 2: turns on him. And I get it. His March record

1335
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 2: is not impressive in terms of having not ever won

1336
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:16,720
Speaker 2: a tournament game. Well, let's not split hairs. Let's not

1337
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 2: focus on the ward on Lincoln's nose. Kentucky, you got

1338
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 2: yourself a good hire. I don't care what the damn

1339
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 2: group think. Echo Chambers says, you got yourself a good hire.

1340
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 2: I want to remind everybody, by the way, shortly after

1349
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 2: team that could make a run at Lebron and Bronnie James. Well,

1350
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 2: the answer is yes. I'll tell you who it is.

1351
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,679
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattlewick. Come to your line from Las Vegas,

1352
01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, tyrack dot com studio. Just keep it

1353
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 2: locked if you're listening to the Bernie frattle Show on

1354
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. All right, back at the Bernie Fraddle Show,

1355
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, coming toy liar from the Taraac dot

1356
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 2: com studios here in Las Vegas, coming up top of

1357
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 2: the hour. Chohyotani appears to be in the clear. But

1358
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 2: this story, this whole story, and the way it took

1359
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,640
Speaker 2: shape over the last month, it seemed to answer a

1360
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 2: lot of questions, but it raised a few more. And

1361
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 2: there are three or four aspects of what we learned,

1362
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 2: revelations that came out of this thing that just leave

1363
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 2: me completely scratching my head. I mean incredulous. If you've

1364
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 2: made this stuff up and submitted it to Hollywood for

1365
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:42,840
Speaker 2: a script, they have you drug tested. All right, is

1366
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 2: it possible there's an Eastern Conference team that could make

1367
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:51,320
Speaker 2: a run at Lebron and Bronni James. Now, do I

1368
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:53,599
Speaker 2: actually think this is gonna come, this is gonna happen.

1369
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 2: I think you got a better chance of Led Zeppelin

1370
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 2: re recording the Gilligans aland Themes and still in a

1371
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 2: million copies before this happens. But Lebron James has the

1372
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,640
Speaker 2: option to become a free agent this summer, and some

1373
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 2: have speculated or wondered, I'm not one of them, if

1374
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 2: he'll use that flexibility to perhaps advance his dream of

1375
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 2: playing on an NBA floor with his son, BRONI. It's

1376
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:26,679
Speaker 2: been bantered about that there is one Eastern Conference team

1377
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 2: that might might be willing to make that happen. It

1378
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 2: turns out that the Philadelphia seventy six ers are one

1379
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,559
Speaker 2: of the few contending teams that actually have the salary

1380
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 2: cap space needed to theoretically sign Lebron this summer. Now,

1381
01:16:45,600 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 2: according to Eric Pinkus Oblecci Report, the belief is that

1382
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 2: Lebron would not really want to go back and live

1383
01:16:53,920 --> 01:17:01,560
Speaker 2: in the East Coast. However, one unnamed execuscutive, it was reported,

1384
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 2: said he would not be surprised if Darryl Morey with

1385
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 2: the Sixers considers drafting Brodney James that could potentially lure

1386
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:18,559
Speaker 2: Lebron to Philadelphia. This executive, I don't know his name,

1387
01:17:19,520 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 2: told Deeric Pinkers that if someone were to do it,

1388
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 2: it would be Daryl. So the truth of the matter

1389
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,040
Speaker 2: is is that there have been more than one publication

1390
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 2: that has potentially linked Lebron to Philadelphia. Why because it's possible, okay,

1391
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:42,759
Speaker 2: drafting Brownie pursuing Lebron in free agency. The Sixers happened

1392
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 2: to have more than fifty million dollars in cap spas

1393
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 2: this offseason, and they have room to add another MAX player. Now,

1394
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 2: what's your sales pitch to Lebron? Do you want to

1395
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 2: win another championship with a fourth team?

1396
01:18:00,240 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 6: Hmmm?

1397
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 2: Put Lebron alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese MAXI oh no,

1398
01:18:06,240 --> 01:18:08,560
Speaker 2: By the way, Bronnie James gets to be on the

1399
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 2: team too. It's like can't pick in a travel baseball team. YEA, Well,

1400
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:15,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is gonna happen. I I

1401
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 2: don't I and Lebron's talking about, well, a whole bunch

1402
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 2: more Tron, we'll have left retire. Is if you want

1403
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 2: to build this up to a big story, to probably

1404
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 2: be a farewell tour and lots of you know, self flagellation. Look,

1405
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 2: the bottom line is this, Lebron does want to play

1406
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 2: with Bronnie, and and Bronnie did enter the draft. And

1407
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pick on him because it's just a

1408
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 2: it's it's just a it's it's it's a cya thing.

1409
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 2: This is the way you do it. He he keeps

1410
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 2: his options open, Okay, And frankly, I'm I'm I'm rooting

1411
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 2: let Lebron gets his wish. I do. I think it

1412
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 2: would be a neat thing. Why not, It's not hurting anybody.

1413
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,120
Speaker 2: He would be clunky. I know people would be critical

1414
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 2: of it, but look, why not. Who's it really hurting?

1415
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 2: Ken Griffy Junior played with Griffy Senior and that that

1416
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 2: was much more legitimate. But if Lebron gets to play

1417
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 2: with his sun someday we'd all watch, you know, we

1418

1428
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 2: or so the world of baseball has been ruminating over

1429
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 2: this whole do we call it a scandal around Shohi

1430
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:54,519
Speaker 2: Otani and is fired former interpreter the legend known as

1431
01:19:54,800 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 2: Ipe Musahara the comedic stylings of Ipe Misuhara. One of

1432
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 2: the things that has fueled this story is there's been

1433
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 2: a tremendous lack of clarity what the hell really happened?

1434
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,760
Speaker 2: Every time you hear this story, you feel like this

1435
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:14,559
Speaker 2: book's missing a chapter. And all it does is make

1436
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:18,200
Speaker 2: you more interested and more curious. But it also makes

1437
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 2: you speculate more. I guarantee you there are still people

1438
01:20:22,600 --> 01:20:28,920
Speaker 2: that think though Tony was behind all this, okay, and

1439
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:33,000
Speaker 2: Ippi was the fall guy. I'm not one of those people. Okay,

1440
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,640
Speaker 2: I'm not one not one of those people, right, But

1441
01:20:37,479 --> 01:20:40,799
Speaker 2: there was all kinds of conflicting reports and unanswered questions,

1442
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 2: and so the picture was really blurry. It was hazy.

1443
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 2: It's just the bottom line is Finally, this past week,

1444
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,879
Speaker 2: when the United States government released its criminal complaint against

1445
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 2: IPA and shared with us that he was forget four

1446
01:20:57,720 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 2: point five millen, he was a cute. He just stealing

1447
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 2: sixteen million dollars. I try to do that at my best,

1448
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 2: Austin Power's voice, sixteen million dollars. And now he faces

1449
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,160
Speaker 2: up to thirty years in prison. Okay, I guess no

1450
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 2: longer can show hey, look at that mini me ippy

1451
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 2: and say you complete me. He can't do that anymore.

1452
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 2: Now there's a thirty seven page complaint, and two things

1453
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:31,280
Speaker 2: stand out to me. This is a horror guy. Man,

1454
01:21:31,360 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 2: he had some balls, He did some stuff. This dude

1455
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 2: was out of control. And here's a guy who's supposed

1456
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 2: to be friends with Otani and looking out for Otani.

1457
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 2: And there was some factoids that came out of this

1458
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 2: whole revelation in terms of the report that absolutely caused

1459
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 2: me to stop in my tracks. Starting with this. We're

1460
01:21:56,920 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 2: talking about gamblers, and we're talking about gamblers deep allegedly

1461
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 2: lost more than forty million dollars gambling. I gotta tell you,

1462
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 2: you know, the whole ordeal started when ESPN got documentation

1463
01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 2: of the two five hundred thousand dollars wire transfers from

1464
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,200
Speaker 2: Otani to an associate of Matthew Boyer, who was the

1465
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 2: illegal bookie allegedly under federal investigation. And at that point,

1466
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:31,880
Speaker 2: Missahara was initially accused of stealing a total of about

1467
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 2: four and a half million from Otani to payoff Boyer.

1468
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 2: But the true number, as the fees reported, turns out

1469
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 2: to be sixteen million. But that's just the beginning. You

1470
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 2: start to read this report and you say to yourself,

1471
01:22:47,120 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: what the hell. In total, it was reported that evidently

1472
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 2: Misiharo is alleged to have made nineteen thousand bets with

1473
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 2: Boyer between December twenty one and January twenty four. That's

1474
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 2: what two years whatever. That comes out to twenty five

1475
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 2: bets a day. Now, the bets apparently arranged in amount

1476
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 2: from ten dollars to one hundred and sixty thousand dollars,

1477
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 2: that the average amount was about twelve eight hundred. So

1478
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 2: here is where the math shakes out. Because you heard

1479
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 2: me say it at the top It's been reported that

1480
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 2: Ippiate accumulated gambling losses of forty million dollars. How well,

1481
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:45,160
Speaker 2: he apparently he won a total of about one hundred

1482
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 2: and forty two million, didn't always lose. The problem is

1483
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,719
Speaker 2: those were juxtaposed against losses of one hundred and eighty

1484
01:23:53,800 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 2: two million, hence the net loss of forty I'll tell

1485
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 2: you if you want to have a little fun with this,

1486
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,240
Speaker 2: if you're scoring at home, or even if you're by yourself,

1487
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,080
Speaker 2: it equates to a net loss of forty million, six

1488
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight thousand, four hundred and thirty six

1489
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:15,160
Speaker 2: dollars and ninety four cents. There, you have it to

1490
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:18,720
Speaker 2: the penny. By the way, the report goes on to

1491
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:26,639
Speaker 2: share texts between Ippi and Boyer and other people. Apparently

1492
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 2: the group they kind of communicated, that little group day

1493
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,360
Speaker 2: ba ba ba. They coordinated on wire transfer sent from

1494
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 2: the bank account which was owned by Otani. But there

1495
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 2: were also many requests from Ippi to the bookie to

1496
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 2: quote bump up his credit limit, and apparently they did

1497
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 2: because somehow Boyer knew of Ippy's connection to Otani and Misha. Well,

1498
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 2: he'd sent five hundred thousand each week when he was

1499
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 2: in debt. This is crazy, man. I mean, here's just

1500
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 2: a sample of a couple of the texts. On November fourteenth,

1501
01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 2: I think it was twenty t twenty two, Ippe says,

1502
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 2: I'm terrible at this sport betting thing. Huh. Any chance

1503
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 2: you can bump me up again? As you know, you

1504
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about me paying did the same

1505
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 2: thing December nineteen. Can you bump me up? Last two hundred?

1506
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 2: I swear on my mom this will be the last

1507
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 2: ask before I paid off once I get back to

1508
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 2: the States. Sorry, I keep on asking. Jump to June

1509
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 2: twenty second. Got my ass kicked again? Lol? Any chance

1510
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,679
Speaker 2: I get one last pump? This would be my last

1511
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,320
Speaker 2: one for a while if I lose it. June twenty third,

1512
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 2: I'm the worst, can't catch a break? Can I get

1513
01:25:28,560 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 2: one last bump? I swear this is going to be

1514
01:25:30,240 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 2: my last. You detect the pattern here, and finally, he

1515
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 2: says in June twenty fourth, I have a problem. Lol.

1516
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 2: Can I get one last bump? Sixth requests this is

1517
01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 2: the last one? For real? I am told what we

1518
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 2: are all told. I'm not told anything. I'm any the

1519
01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,160
Speaker 2: dog of the fight. On this one, Michael Vick, I

1520
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:51,719
Speaker 2: just say this that it's been reported that now apparently

1521
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 2: it's been recommended that IBA attend to gambling addiction classes

1522
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,800
Speaker 2: in the game. Don't you think they're fella a little

1523
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 2: late in the game after forty million dollars and losses.

1524
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 2: Here's here's the second thing that really jumped at me.

1525
01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 2: And this part, Honestly, this isn't funny given this society

1526
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,920
Speaker 2: we live in now. Apparently Ippe impersonated Otani on the

1527
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,680
Speaker 2: phone to hide alleged bang fraud. This I find bothersome

1528
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: the fact he could get away with this. There's a

1529
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,400
Speaker 2: real question here, how could that amount of money go

1530
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 2: missing without anybody noticing? But it's been asked a thousand

1531
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 2: times in the last month, and apparently the folks like

1532
01:26:36,400 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 2: me asking that question. We were just unaware of the

1533
01:26:40,840 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 2: fact that Otani really had his clutches and in check

1534
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 2: that Mitsahara had his clutches, and Otani's finances, and we

1535
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:54,759
Speaker 2: basically underestimated just how much control if it could flex

1536
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,000
Speaker 2: and the links, not only that, the links he was

1537
01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 2: willing to go to make this happen. And you know, look,

1538
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 2: Ippi has been Otani's right hand man, apparently since twenty eighteen,

1539
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 2: when Otani got to the States his first year playing

1540
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 2: for the Angels. Apparently, you know, during spring training in

1541
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 2: Arizona with the Angels and back in twenty eighteen, the

1542
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 2: report indicates that Ippi joined Otani at a bank branch

1543
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 2: and translated for him as Otani set up an account,

1544
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 2: and that was reportedly the account that Otani's salary from

1545
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 2: the Angels was deposited, and Otani during his tenure with

1546
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 2: the Angels received a little over forty two million dollars.

1547
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:48,640
Speaker 2: And apparently Ippi had somehow found his way and you know,

1548
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:52,439
Speaker 2: weaseled his way into asserting virtual total control of this

1549
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 2: account because the bank records showed that the account was

1550
01:27:55,479 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 2: an Otani's name, but the contact information connected to it

1551
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 2: was I'm out changed to missi Ippy. I'm just gonna

1552
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,040
Speaker 2: call him Ippi, Okay, I get it. His name's Ippy, Missahara.

1553
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't roll off the tongue for me, so I'm

1554
01:28:07,040 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 2: just gonna call him Ippi, Hippy, ipy Yippi Ippy win

1555
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:16,600
Speaker 2: one for the Gippie. His contact information Ippi's was connected

1556
01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 2: to that account because it was changed to Ippy's phone number,

1557
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 2: and an anonymous email address was also connected to IPPI.

1558
01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,920
Speaker 2: How does this happen? So transfers were allegedly made from

1559
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:32,680
Speaker 2: the account using those devices and IP addresses that were

1560
01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 2: all associated with IPPI. So I Bey in a sense,

1561
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:41,960
Speaker 2: pretended to be Otani whenever he was interacting with bank employees.

1562
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 2: According to many calls that apparently that are on record

1563
01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:49,880
Speaker 2: and recorded by the bank, on February on or about

1564
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 2: February second, twenty twenty two, Ippi called one particular bank

1565
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 2: using a phone number associated with the IPPI phone and

1566
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,639
Speaker 2: attempted to access to an account. They give the last

1567
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 2: four numbers of the account here. I'm not going to

1568
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 2: do that, but according to wire funds during the call,

1569
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 2: Ippi falsely identified himself as Shohiotani also falsely stated that

1570
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 2: he was attempting to wire funds to the bookmaker, but

1571
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:20,480
Speaker 2: it was for a car loan. That request was unsuccessful

1572
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:25,400
Speaker 2: and that particular bank froze online transactions for that account.

1573
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 2: But in another call that same day, a different bank

1574
01:29:28,600 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 2: employee spoke with IPI using the same phone number and

1575
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:34,759
Speaker 2: regarding the suspension of the banking and the online account.

1576
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:40,320
Speaker 2: Ippi once again falsely missed falsely identified himself as Otani,

1577
01:29:40,960 --> 01:29:46,680
Speaker 2: and answered the security questions by giving biographical information. As

1578
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:51,080
Speaker 2: a result, I bi that Crazy Devil was able to

1579
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 2: successfully lift the online banking suspension that had been suspended

1580
01:29:55,439 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 2: earlier in the day. Apparently on November fifteenth, twenty one,

1581
01:30:01,360 --> 01:30:04,960
Speaker 2: that was the first deposit from o'connie's account of forty

1582
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 2: thousand to zoom, a PayPal service, and that was apparently

1583
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:15,000
Speaker 2: ipay's first entree into the Shenanigans. Coming up, We're not done.

1584
01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 2: Ipay used money to do other things. There's a situation

1585
01:30:20,360 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 2: where I'll tell you what. There's more stuff here that's

1586
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,040
Speaker 2: gonna make you scratch your head. There are two or

1587
01:30:26,080 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 2: three more items that I want to highlight because now

1588
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:31,839
Speaker 2: that this story appears to be winding down and Nippi's

1589
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 2: with the Feds and show Hayesel, you know, apparently in

1590
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,439
Speaker 2: the clear on baseball, you know, no evidence that he

1591
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 2: bet anything. We're just laughed. We're left to look at

1592
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:45,080
Speaker 2: the fodder and what was scattered from behind because this

1593
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 2: is totally abnormal stuff. What I'm gonna share with you

1594
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 2: coming up, You're still going to continue to scratch your head.

1595
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Frattle. Were Comedy Live from Las Vegas, Fox

1596
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:55,880
Speaker 2: Sports Radio, TIREC Dot Com Studios. Keep it locked. You're

1597
01:30:55,920 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 2: listening to the Bernie Frattle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

1598
01:30:58,960 --> 01:31:00,599
Speaker 2: All right, back at the Bernie Frae Our Show, Fox

1599
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Company Life from thetariot dot Com studios here

1600
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas. Don't forget coming up top of the

1601
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:10,360
Speaker 2: hour to a M Pacific five m Eastern the Dance

1602
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:13,599
Speaker 2: Sensations Sweep of the Nation. What kind of brand new

1603
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 2: fool of you fresh edition, followed by what my name?

1604
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:20,440
Speaker 2: All right, we continue on with the goofiness, the craziness,

1605
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:26,760
Speaker 2: the incredulity that is Ippi and Showhey, so it wasn't

1606
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:31,440
Speaker 2: just all about sports betting. Turns out Todaypey used Otani's

1607
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:33,920
Speaker 2: money to buy three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars

1608
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:38,080
Speaker 2: with the baseball cards. Yeah see. Defense found more than

1609
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:41,519
Speaker 2: three hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in transactions on

1610
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:47,320
Speaker 2: eBay involving the Otani bank account used by Ippi again

1611
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:52,160
Speaker 2: between January and March of this year. Apparently, a member

1612
01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:56,160
Speaker 2: of the investigative team reportedly spoke with a club employee

1613
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 2: who said the team would set aside packages for Ippi,

1614
01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:05,120
Speaker 2: and they were received under an alias. So the craziness continues.

1615
01:32:05,680 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 2: Packages come for an alias received by Ippi, paid for

1616
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 2: by O. Tommy allegedly didn't even know it. And there

1617
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 2: were about a thousand baseball cards. And you know, the

1618
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,280
Speaker 2: truth of the matter is that I don't know what

1619
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 2: where Ippy was going with those, but the theory is

1620
01:32:25,360 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 2: that he had purchased those cards because he wanted to

1621
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:34,640
Speaker 2: resell them at a later date, and he apparently had

1622
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 2: paid for some you know guy, you know, Yogi bearra cards,

1623
01:32:37,920 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 2: Juan Soto, all that, right, All right, fair enough. Here's

1624
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:44,760
Speaker 2: where this aspect of the story also gets particularly weird.

1625
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 2: You know, it's a bad idea if you old millions

1626
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 2: and millions of dollars to an illegal bookie, and let

1627
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 2: me count the ways. And the truth of the matter

1628
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 2: is if you do, they're gonna want to collect it,

1629
01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 2: and they may have to, you know, go to other

1630
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,679
Speaker 2: links to collect the money. And there's one particular story

1631
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 2: that the bookie and I look, I don't know if

1632
01:33:09,880 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 2: this is true, it's all part of the report. I

1633
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 2: just so well assume it is that the illegal bookie

1634
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 2: one day, in his quest to collect the money, went

1635
01:33:21,320 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 2: as far as reaching out and locating show Hey while

1636
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 2: he was walking his dog. Show he has a dog,

1637
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 2: by the way, is I don't know how to pronounce

1638
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:30,840
Speaker 2: the name of the dog is either d Colpen or

1639
01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:36,360
Speaker 2: Decopin or something like that. And so apparently he, you know,

1640
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 2: he approached Otani while he was walking his dog, and

1641
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 2: then he messaged Ippi and said, Hey, it's two o'clock

1642
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 2: on Friday. I don't know why you're not returning my calls.

1643
01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:51,240
Speaker 2: Apparently this text was around November seventeen, twenty twenty three,

1644
01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,560
Speaker 2: not that long ago. I don't know why you're not

1645
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 2: returning my calls. I'm here in Newport Beach and I

1646
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:59,600
Speaker 2: see show Hey walking his dog. I'm just gonna go

1647
01:33:59,680 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 2: up and to him and ask how I can get

1648
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,800
Speaker 2: in touch with you. Since you're not responding, please call

1649
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,519
Speaker 2: me back immediately. So you know, there were any threats

1650
01:34:07,600 --> 01:34:12,640
Speaker 2: or anything like that, apparently, but the messages got a

1651
01:34:12,720 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 2: little bit more fervent. Apparently. I can only assume that

1652
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:21,880
Speaker 2: Ipp he didn't respond, because there was another text, Honor

1653
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:26,599
Speaker 2: about January sixth of this year, twenty twenty four, where

1654
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:30,720
Speaker 2: the book he allegedly messaged Ippi and said, quote, you

1655
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 2: are putting me in a position where this is going

1656
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 2: to get out of control. If I don't hear from

1657
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 2: you by the end of the day today, it's going

1658
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:41,000
Speaker 2: to be out of my hands. Ippy then did respond

1659
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:44,320
Speaker 2: that same day, stating, my bad man just got back

1660
01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,320
Speaker 2: from Japan two days ago and I'm leaving tomorrow again.

1661
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,240
Speaker 2: I'll be back in mid January. To be honest with you,

1662
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm really struggling right now and I need some time

1663
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 2: before I start to make payments. Apparently this happened after

1664
01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 2: Boyer's home was by the FEDS, which I think was

1665
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 2: in October. Here's the other thing, and I guess this

1666
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:13,200
Speaker 2: is inevitable. But Otani's agent only talk to Otani through IPI.

1667
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 2: I guess he didn't talk to him directly. Well, maybe

1668
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:18,439
Speaker 2: that makes sense. Maybe the agent only speaks English and

1669
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:23,759
Speaker 2: Atani doesn't speak great English apparently, but he only talked

1670
01:35:23,840 --> 01:35:30,080
Speaker 2: to Otani the agent through IPI. Now, if you are

1671
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 2: representing a client who's going to sign for seven hundred

1672
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:38,120
Speaker 2: million dollars someday, but your client doesn't speak English fluently

1673
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:42,519
Speaker 2: and he's an interpreter so they can just get through

1674
01:35:42,960 --> 01:35:48,080
Speaker 2: everyday life while living in America, then you reach a

1675
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:51,040
Speaker 2: point where that interpreter is essentially sort of becoming that

1676
01:35:51,240 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 2: player's unofficial or de facto manager. How what else? What

1677
01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 2: else is it? Then? Let's say that interpreter tells you

1678
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,160
Speaker 2: you're client has a quote private bank account that not

1679
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 2: even the financial managers you hired an access. Let's say

1680
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 2: that interpreter claims that the client agreed to loan him

1681
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:14,800
Speaker 2: millions of dollars to pay off an illegal gambling debt.

1682
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:20,000
Speaker 2: Do you want to continue to talk to that interpreter

1683
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 2: To get to your client? You got to start to

1684
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:31,439
Speaker 2: be a little bit more dubious of the situation, you know.

1685
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:34,400
Speaker 2: A Tony claimed he knew nothing about this scandal until

1686
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 2: Ippi stood up in front of the Dodgers and explained

1687
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:40,920
Speaker 2: the situation back on March twentieth, and the complaint, I

1688
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,080
Speaker 2: guess bears that out. But this is a six year history,

1689
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 2: and I still think there's some unanswered questions. But I

1690
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 2: gotta tell you when this whole thing came crashing down, obviously,

1691
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 2: Ipp he saw the writing on the wall, and the

1692
01:36:53,479 --> 01:36:56,519
Speaker 2: day you know, he was fired, he poorly messaged the

1693
01:36:56,600 --> 01:37:00,719
Speaker 2: bookie who said he didn't believe the claims that EPA

1694
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,799
Speaker 2: stole from Otani. He said, have you seen the reports

1695
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 2: the bookmakers sent to IPI goes, yes, but that's all BS.

1696
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:11,000
Speaker 2: Obviously you didn't steal from him. I understand it's the

1697
01:37:11,040 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 2: cover job. I totally get it. Well, guess what Iba responded.

1698
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:18,680
Speaker 2: He said, Well, technically I did steal from him. It's

1699
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 2: all over for me. Hey, chef, you want to weigh

1700
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:23,560
Speaker 2: in on this man? What are your thoughts on this

1701
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,920
Speaker 2: whole deal? This is the craziest. Now that thirty days

1702
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:30,759
Speaker 2: have gone by, we've released more details. There's less mystery,

1703
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:32,200
Speaker 2: but it makes it even crazier. Do you have any

1704
01:37:32,479 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 2: thoughts on this?

1705
01:37:33,800 --> 01:37:38,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, with the Showyotani betting scandal, I think his interpreter.

1706
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 1: Might have gotten lucky.

1707
01:37:40,680 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 7: The Fed's got to him before any unscrupulous characters related

1708
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:47,360
Speaker 7: to the book. He got to him because it seemed

1709
01:37:47,439 --> 01:37:50,439
Speaker 7: like it was getting a pretty perilous for him with

1710
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 7: a debt he was getting into. So I think it

1711
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:57,360
Speaker 7: seems to lay it out the affidavit on what exactly happened.

1712
01:37:57,360 --> 01:37:59,439
Speaker 7: I mean, there's some questions I guess you could ask,

1713
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 7: but for the most part, it looks like Otani did

1714
01:38:02,400 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 7: not have any knowledge of what's going on and the

1715
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 7: period he was stolen from and what I've said from

1716
01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:09,680
Speaker 7: the beginning is as long as there's no evidence that

1717
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:12,680
Speaker 7: bets were made on baseball and that Otani was a

1718
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 7: part of those bets being made on baseball, and there's

1719
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:18,920
Speaker 7: really nothing here other than his interpreter and dealing with

1720
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:21,640
Speaker 7: the law and all that stuff. But as far as

1721
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 7: Otani's concerned, that there's nothing about him to deal with

1722
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:28,000
Speaker 7: right now, and I'm glad that we finally have reached

1723
01:38:28,120 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 7: what seems like a resolution in this deal and we

1724
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,280
Speaker 7: can just play some baseball while the legal process works

1725
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 7: out on the other side of things.

1726
01:38:36,360 --> 01:38:38,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a bit of a collective side

1727
01:38:38,080 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 2: relief between the Dodgers and Major League Baseball. And honestly,

1728
01:38:41,600 --> 01:38:46,120
Speaker 2: my gut told me I'll never really totally know the truth,

1729
01:38:46,280 --> 01:38:48,880
Speaker 2: and frankly, I got other things to worry about. But

1730
01:38:49,040 --> 01:38:51,320
Speaker 2: the bottom line is this, I never really it just

1731
01:38:51,400 --> 01:38:54,080
Speaker 2: didn't feel right that Otani would have been betting. Maybe,

1732
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:56,200
Speaker 2: but I don't know. It's not that big a deal

1733
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:59,360
Speaker 2: to me from that standpoint. I'm more interested in the

1734
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:03,760
Speaker 2: story and plays out. Mark Ramsey, I know you've got

1735
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 2: some thoughts on this, right I mean, you you heard

1736
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:08,719
Speaker 2: some of these revelations coming out now, and it's almost

1737
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:11,200
Speaker 2: like I said, if this was a Hollywood script, did

1738
01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,599
Speaker 2: have you drug testing? But it's all apparently true.

1739
01:39:13,760 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 8: I'm going to talk like you're the judge over this case.

1740
01:39:16,520 --> 01:39:19,240
Speaker 8: I could ask you says some other questions. Are we

1741
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:27,320
Speaker 8: sure that they've decided to find out how the bets

1742
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 8: were made with the bookie?

1743
01:39:29,840 --> 01:39:33,080
Speaker 1: Who did the bookie make the bets with? Was it

1744
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 1: the interpreter?

1745
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I think we're pretty sure about that.

1746
01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:39,840
Speaker 8: And they're they're going on the idea that he did

1747
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:43,640
Speaker 8: this on his own and no one else talked with

1748
01:39:43,760 --> 01:39:45,439
Speaker 8: him about how to do these bets.

1749
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:47,439
Speaker 2: That's the general that's the general premise.

1750
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:52,200
Speaker 8: So obviously the interpreter has no problem talking you speaking

1751
01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:56,560
Speaker 8: English to and other English bookie, right, That's exactly that

1752
01:39:56,640 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 8: has been a problem, correct, And they have zeroed in

1753
01:40:02,479 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 8: on the kind of things that they were betting on.

1754
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 2: Well that I don't know. That hasn't been reported. The

1755
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:10,080
Speaker 2: only thing that's been reported is that there was no

1756
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:13,160
Speaker 2: betting on baseball. That's been That's what's been reported.

1757
01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 8: It's no betting on baseball, right, So somebody is spending

1758
01:40:17,720 --> 01:40:20,679
Speaker 8: what thousands of dollars on what kind of games?

1759
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 2: Now, oh, I could could have been soccer, could have

1760
01:40:23,200 --> 01:40:25,479
Speaker 2: been basketball, could have been college football. Who knows, could

1761
01:40:25,479 --> 01:40:28,599
Speaker 2: be anything. We don't know that part of that level

1762
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 2: of detail. We haven't really got to.

1763
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:31,760
Speaker 1: So there's nineteen thousand bets.

1764
01:40:31,880 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 2: Market had to had to be across the board. If

1765
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 2: you're making twenty five bets a day, I mean, my god,

1766
01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 2: you know, could have been anything. It was.

1767
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 1: It was reported he was also buying baseball cards and

1768
01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot of Yeah.

1769
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:44,080
Speaker 2: I mentioned that. I mentioned that, Yeah, three hundred twenty

1770
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:45,200
Speaker 2: five thousand worth. Yeah.

1771
01:40:46,080 --> 01:40:49,400
Speaker 8: It just sounds so strange that the book he is

1772
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 8: able to use so much of his money and he

1773
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 8: has no idea about it.

1774
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:57,360
Speaker 1: I just think that's kind of strange.

1775
01:40:57,479 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 2: That's the part that's the book chapter that's missing for me.

1776
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,920
Speaker 8: That's the strange part that somebody could use that much

1777
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 8: money and no other financial company asked Otani, Hey, by

1778
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:12,960
Speaker 8: the way, sir, in all your millions, did you know

1779
01:41:13,160 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 8: this is happening to your accounts? No, the investigation hasn't

1780
01:41:18,439 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 8: gotten that far yet.

1781
01:41:19,400 --> 01:41:22,040
Speaker 1: As far as you know, we don't know.

1782
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:26,400
Speaker 2: I think that because Otani didn't speak English, and because

1783
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:28,320
Speaker 2: those two were joined at the hip, and him and

1784
01:41:28,360 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 2: Ippi were good friends. And they came over together in

1785
01:41:30,960 --> 01:41:33,840
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen. I think there was a trust factor in

1786
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:38,360
Speaker 2: a naivity among Otani and so. But again to your point, Mark,

1787
01:41:38,439 --> 01:41:40,720
Speaker 2: how do you not notice this money missing? Not once,

1788
01:41:40,800 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 2: but multiple times? We all we all scratched our heads

1789
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:46,040
Speaker 2: collectively when we heard it was four and a half million.

1790
01:41:46,360 --> 01:41:48,880
Speaker 2: That jumps to sixteen million and forty million dollars in

1791
01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 2: gambling losses.

1792
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:54,640
Speaker 8: I just don't see how the financial companies aren't investigating

1793
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:57,840
Speaker 8: of the specifics of how so it might be just

1794
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 8: kind of bet and he doesn't know someone is taking

1795
01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 8: money from his account.

1796
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 1: That's they might be understand.

1797
01:42:05,200 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 2: No, No, they've fair enough. I've said, I've overused the

1798
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:13,559
Speaker 2: phraseology that I think this book's missing a chapter, probably

1799
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 2: missing several chapters at some point that's got to come out.

1800
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see. But it's a fluid story, all right,

1801
01:42:21,640 --> 01:42:24,559
Speaker 2: coming up another thing that's a fluid story. I gotta

1802
01:42:24,560 --> 01:42:29,599
Speaker 2: give them their flowers. Look when the women's March Madness

1803
01:42:29,960 --> 01:42:34,800
Speaker 2: Championship outdraws the men's by four million viewers, I don't know.

1804
01:42:34,960 --> 01:42:37,639
Speaker 2: Is it star power, is it a better business model,

1805
01:42:38,240 --> 01:42:41,080
Speaker 2: is it name recognition? Is it the fact that there's continuity.

1806
01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,799
Speaker 2: The time slot didn't even matter. I want to unpack

1807
01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 2: this because this is not a story. I think that

1808
01:42:46,760 --> 01:42:50,280
Speaker 2: should be just shoved under their rug. The women's game

1809
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 2: out viewed the that's not proper English through four million

1810
01:42:54,720 --> 01:42:56,800
Speaker 2: more viewers in the men's game, and I want to

1811
01:42:56,840 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 2: talk about what those viewership numbers really mean. But first

1812
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 2: le's go back to our guy, Kevin Ware at the

1813
01:43:01,560 --> 01:43:05,120
Speaker 2: chef with the latest. I'm going to mad love to

1814
01:43:05,680 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 2: be there. You go and lead, you're down by and

1815
01:43:10,760 --> 01:43:19,920
Speaker 2: caress young woman day make you nicely done, Chef, another baffle.

1816
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Pos Yes, love love singing for the crowd there.

1817
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:24,000
Speaker 2: Oh they love it too.

1818
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 1: Man, people the cards and letters I get every week.

1819
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:27,920
Speaker 2: Chef, you did make your blush.

1820
01:43:28,040 --> 01:43:30,759
Speaker 1: I'm touched. I'm touched. Thank you, Bernie. Anyway.

1821
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 7: One of the big events in golf is the Masters Tournament,

1822
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,640
Speaker 7: and we've played three rounds this weekend in Augusta at

1823
01:43:37,680 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 7: Scotty Scheffler, who's in the lead at seven under par.

1824
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 7: He shot one under on Saturday, good for seventy one

1825
01:43:43,920 --> 01:43:47,160
Speaker 7: for round three's, one stroke ahead of Colin Morikawa, who

1826
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:50,720
Speaker 7: arguably played one of the better rounds on Saturday. End

1827
01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 7: three under par for the day sixty nine and he

1828
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 7: is six under is Marikawa Maxoma in third. He is

1829
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:59,880
Speaker 7: five under par for the tournament. But Scotty Scheffler has

1830
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:02,919
Speaker 7: said that his wife is expected to give birth anytime

1831
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,400
Speaker 7: in the next few days, and that if she were

1832
01:44:05,560 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 7: to go into labor before he teas off, and he's

1833
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:10,920
Speaker 7: scheduled to do so at eleven thirty five am, that

1834
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 7: he will withdraw from the tournament to attend the birth

1835
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:17,240
Speaker 7: of his child. So that is one thing to keep

1836
01:44:17,240 --> 01:44:20,599
Speaker 7: an eye on as we head into Sunday. Mixed Martial

1837
01:44:20,720 --> 01:44:25,919
Speaker 7: Arts UFC three hundred. Alex Pereira a round one knockout

1838
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 7: of Jamal Hill, so he claims the light heavyweight title

1839
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:32,439
Speaker 7: in the main event out in Las Vegas, and in

1840
01:44:32,520 --> 01:44:35,080
Speaker 7: Major League Baseball the Dodgers. It had to win a

1841
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,639
Speaker 7: couple of hours the Dodgers and Padres to get going

1842
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:39,960
Speaker 7: because of some right now here in Los Angeles, but

1843
01:44:40,360 --> 01:44:42,200
Speaker 7: they do end up winning it five to two as

1844
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:44,920
Speaker 7: Gavin Stone took a perfect game into the sixth inning

1845
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 7: before it was broken up. Cubs over the Mariners four

1846
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:51,320
Speaker 7: to one, three of those four runs coming on solo

1847
01:44:51,400 --> 01:44:55,000
Speaker 7: home runs for Chicago. The San Francisco Giants getting five

1848
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:57,439
Speaker 7: home runs in their blowout win against Tampa Bay eleven

1849
01:44:57,479 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 7: to two. San Francisco wins it Marlin's o the Braves

1850
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 7: five to one. Philadelphia gets a run in the ninth

1851
01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:05,920
Speaker 7: inning to get by the Pittsburgh Pirates four to three.

1852
01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:08,960
Speaker 7: Brewers eleven to five winners of Baltimore the Royals eleven

1853
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:13,080
Speaker 7: to seven victory against the New York Mets. Yankees get

1854
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 7: a doubleheader win at Cleveland Twins sweeping their doubleheader with

1855
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:20,280
Speaker 7: the Detroit Tigers and Carlos Correa having to get placed

1856
01:45:20,400 --> 01:45:21,960
Speaker 7: on the injured list he's got.

1857
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: A strained O.

1858
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 7: League no NBA on Saturday Sunday, every team will be

1859
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:31,080
Speaker 7: in action and there's several different playoff scenarios still in

1860
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 7: a play and in the NHL, Dallas Stars clinching the

1861
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:38,080
Speaker 7: Central Division. They beat the Seattle crack in three to one,

1862
01:45:38,160 --> 01:45:41,679
Speaker 7: the Winnipeg Jets seven nothing winners, It gets the Colorado Avalanche,

1863
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:43,519
Speaker 7: and that seems like it will be just a preview

1864
01:45:43,560 --> 01:45:46,920
Speaker 7: as these two teams will face each other in the

1865
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:50,639
Speaker 7: first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and FS one

1866
01:45:50,760 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 7: NASCAR Sam Mayer winning the Xfinity Race by point zero

1867
01:45:55,320 --> 01:45:59,439
Speaker 7: zero two seconds. The NASCAR Cup Series will take place

1868
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:03,280
Speaker 7: thirty on a FS one dot You Bernie all.

1869
01:46:03,240 --> 01:46:07,880
Speaker 2: Right, Thanks chef, another baff of performance. Save those vocal cords.

1870
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 2: Top of the hour. You'll be participating in brand new

1871
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:16,439
Speaker 2: fool and what My Name? All right? Headline. The women's

1872
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:19,519
Speaker 2: March Madness Championship topped the men's for the first time

1873
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:24,080
Speaker 2: in terms of viewership. Iowa South Carolina a week ago

1874
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 2: today drew eighteen point nine million viewers. The next night,

1875
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 2: Yukon Perdue do fourteen point eight. Now, kayl and clarkill

1876
01:46:31,240 --> 01:46:33,840
Speaker 2: leave college basketball on national Championship. But I think it's

1877
01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,400
Speaker 2: pretty clear due to her star power, that's what caused

1878
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:40,799
Speaker 2: the Women's college Basketball Championship to grab a bigger TV audience.

1879
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,960
Speaker 2: But let's take it down a different road. Because this

1880
01:46:44,200 --> 01:46:46,639
Speaker 2: was so impactful, the time slot didn't even matter. Before

1881
01:46:46,760 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 2: Sunday's championship game, a lot of critics questioned why the

1882
01:46:49,840 --> 01:46:53,679
Speaker 2: NCAA was scheduling I Was South Carolina for Sunday afternoon

1883
01:46:53,680 --> 01:46:58,799
Speaker 2: at three o'clock Eastern rather than primetime. Well, apparently appointment

1884
01:46:58,880 --> 01:47:01,360
Speaker 2: TV doesn't matter when you've got a certain star power.

1885
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:03,919
Speaker 2: And let's give a lot of props to South Carolina.

1886
01:47:04,120 --> 01:47:11,080
Speaker 2: Fabulous team, exquisitely coached, played just an incredibly impressive brand

1887
01:47:11,120 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 2: of basketball. Thirty seven and zero. It takes two to tango, right,

1888
01:47:15,320 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 2: What are these viewership numbers really mean? Because there have

1889
01:47:19,080 --> 01:47:25,719
Speaker 2: been some pretty salacious theories coming out now that packed

1890
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 2: the back of women's basketball and are a little egregious

1891
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:32,600
Speaker 2: towards men's basketball. All right, let's get this out of

1892
01:47:32,680 --> 01:47:38,240
Speaker 2: the way. Four million viewers less is a lot. That's

1893
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:42,000
Speaker 2: a significant amount. That created a hell of a talking

1894
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:46,240
Speaker 2: point when Tuesday rolled around and people in twos and

1895
01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:50,240
Speaker 2: threes started to gather and talk amongst themselves. These are

1896
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 2: some of the comments coming out of those coming out

1897
01:47:54,800 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 2: of that, those findings. One in college steerized by some

1898
01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 2: that the women's game is simply a better product than

1899
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 2: the men's right now, not talking about just the encore play.

1900
01:48:07,640 --> 01:48:12,120
Speaker 2: You can argue about that, but there is more investment

1901
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:16,559
Speaker 2: in personalities and stories. Angel Rees became a household name.

1902
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:20,040
Speaker 2: Caitlin Cock became a household name. Juji Watkins became a

1903
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:24,760
Speaker 2: household name. Paige Beckers has been a household name. Put

1904
01:48:24,800 --> 01:48:27,040
Speaker 2: that in your pippet, Smoke it for a minute. Think

1905
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,439
Speaker 2: about it like a TV show instead of a sporting event.

1906
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:36,080
Speaker 2: In the women's game, you've spent years, sometimes in these programs,

1907
01:48:36,120 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 2: four or five with the superstar players returning to their

1908
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:44,800
Speaker 2: program year after year, game after game, TV show after

1909
01:48:44,880 --> 01:48:48,559
Speaker 2: TV show, episode after episode, and all of a sudden,

1910
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 2: you start to build these sociological social relationships across the

1911
01:48:53,800 --> 01:48:56,760
Speaker 2: map with the best players on the sport, and you

1912
01:48:56,840 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 2: hear the same names over and over again. On the

1913
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 2: men's side, the superstars come and go. When they are

1914
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 2: it's a fifteen minutes of fame and you forget them

1915
01:49:06,320 --> 01:49:09,519
Speaker 2: right away. You spend maybe ten or fifteen meaningful games.

1916
01:49:10,120 --> 01:49:13,000
Speaker 2: How do you build momentum with the one and done

1917
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:16,479
Speaker 2: and nil and the portal transfer in the men's game

1918
01:49:16,560 --> 01:49:20,679
Speaker 2: the same way you build that said continuity and momentum

1919
01:49:20,840 --> 01:49:23,439
Speaker 2: and in the women's game, when some of these ladies

1920
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 2: have played a hundred games together and you've got real rivalries.

1921
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 2: People know who gino Oriema is and Yukon. People know

1922
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 2: who Kim Mulkey is at LSU. People know who tera

1923
01:49:36,120 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 2: Vanderveer was at Stanford. These things are real. Another huge

1924
01:49:39,640 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 2: factor that has been theorized exposure and investment because women's

1925
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:51,200
Speaker 2: players stay longer. That has created a ratings change. It's

1926
01:49:51,240 --> 01:49:54,799
Speaker 2: a platform. The women's title game ended up on ABC,

1927
01:49:55,760 --> 01:49:59,160
Speaker 2: ended up on regular network TV. The men's game was

1928
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:02,600
Speaker 2: on T and T TV's and True TV. Nothing against that,

1929
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:05,560
Speaker 2: but would you rather be on regular network TV or

1930
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:08,679
Speaker 2: would you rather be on cable TV? Anil is also

1931
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:14,200
Speaker 2: a factor. And of course back to Caitlin Clark, she

1932
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:17,760
Speaker 2: has been everywhere. She's not doing commercials, et cetera, et cetera.

1933
01:50:18,520 --> 01:50:21,640
Speaker 2: Now look, none of this is a bad thing, not

1934
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,840
Speaker 2: a bad thing for anybody. The reality of the larger

1935
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 2: landscape is basically, both men's and women's college basketball is

1936
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:32,800
Speaker 2: making plenty of money and the game's more equitable than ever.

1937
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:38,120
Speaker 2: Now here's what it'll be interesting. Can the momentum continue

1938
01:50:38,200 --> 01:50:42,439
Speaker 2: with college basketball for women next year? With Caitlin Clark

1939
01:50:42,520 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 2: going to the WNBA? It can? You still got Paige

1940
01:50:45,080 --> 01:50:48,000
Speaker 2: Beckers and Juju Watkins and there'll be maybe other names emerge.

1941
01:50:48,840 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 2: But also you have situations now on men's college basketball.

1942
01:50:54,040 --> 01:50:56,080
Speaker 2: Believe me, by this time next year, you will know

1943
01:50:56,160 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 2: who Cooper Flag is. You will know foot ten kid

1944
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,559
Speaker 2: with all kinds of skill, and he's going to Duke,

1945
01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:07,760
Speaker 2: and so it's come on, Malaut. Two guys arrive at Duke.

1946
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 2: But here's the problem. It's a double edged sword. And

1947
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 2: they may come take the world by storm next year

1948
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,519
Speaker 2: and get those ratings back, but the likelihood is they'll

1949
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 2: both be one and done's again. Now Yukon, they'll be

1950
01:51:20,479 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 2: going for a three pet Will you get a challenger?

1951
01:51:23,320 --> 01:51:26,960
Speaker 2: It could be Duke and maybe all this changes with

1952
01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,759
Speaker 2: Caitlin clark On, although you still have the women page, Becker's,

1953
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:35,800
Speaker 2: Juju Watkins and Floj Johnson. So we'll see what we

1954
01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:38,679
Speaker 2: will see. Was this a one hit wonder where women's

1955
01:51:38,720 --> 01:51:41,240
Speaker 2: basketball went through the roof because of why what happened?

1956
01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:45,679
Speaker 2: Or because of the star power, the better business model,

1957
01:51:45,840 --> 01:51:50,560
Speaker 2: the name recognition, the continuity. Perhaps it's perceived as a

1958
01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:53,120
Speaker 2: better product. Look, they don't play above the rim. But

1959
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 2: the women I observed their games, they play a good

1960
01:51:56,960 --> 01:52:00,479
Speaker 2: peer form of the game. They distribute the ball, they run,

1961
01:52:00,560 --> 01:52:03,840
Speaker 2: plays lots of cuts, picks, they box out, they screen,

1962
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 2: they communicate, they switch, they can shoots. Let's be honest,

1963
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 2: it's a good brand of basketball. It's an improved brand

1964
01:52:11,439 --> 01:52:14,400
Speaker 2: of basketball. And of course you add star power. You know,

1965
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:16,920
Speaker 2: This isn't the Canadian Football League syndrome where you're watching

1966
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 2: two teams play you don't know who they are, what

1967
01:52:19,240 --> 01:52:21,800
Speaker 2: the significance is. You got real star power here, You

1968
01:52:21,960 --> 01:52:27,320
Speaker 2: legitimately do. Coming up. When I hosted the Ben Maller

1969
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:31,639
Speaker 2: Show Wednesday night, I joked about the fact that Tiger

1970
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:33,639
Speaker 2: was making a big deal. Well, maybe he wasn't making

1971
01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:36,879
Speaker 2: a big deal. That's not fair, But it was reported

1972
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 2: that he was abstaining from sex as part of his

1973
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 2: ritual to be prepared for the Masters. He did make

1974
01:52:43,479 --> 01:52:46,600
Speaker 2: the cut, but then he shot eighty two. Maybe he

1975
01:52:46,840 --> 01:52:49,559
Speaker 2: could use a little rump to, you know, get back

1976
01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:51,800
Speaker 2: in the back in the good graces. Because it turns

1977
01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:57,880
Speaker 2: out there have been studies what is the result if

1978
01:52:57,960 --> 01:53:01,160
Speaker 2: you have no sex before the big game? Is there

1979
01:53:01,200 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 2: a causal effect between that and performance? Well, I'm gonna

1980
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:07,920
Speaker 2: share with you some legitimate studies that have been done

1981
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 2: at in universities about that very phenomenon. By the way,

Speaker 2: of you? Followed by what my name fresh additions, Well,

2000
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 2: I tried to warn you folks Wednesday night when I

2001
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:16,559
Speaker 2: sat in for Ben mallor Tiger Woods of standing from sex.

2002
01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:19,200
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was gonna work man, And after

2003
01:54:19,320 --> 01:54:22,880
Speaker 2: setting a Master's record by making his twenty fourth cut,

2004
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 2: he set a record again, had his worst his worst

2005
01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:31,080
Speaker 2: ever round, highest round ever in any major championship, not

2006
01:54:31,200 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 2: just the Masters. But any major championship during his entire

2007
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,920
Speaker 2: career all because of his strategy. This year, I guess

2008
01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:40,080
Speaker 2: you could say decided that Tiger decatured. He was just

2009
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 2: gonna keep his club in the bag. So look, he

2010
01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:49,360
Speaker 2: admitted he wasn't hitting the ball very well. Eleven over

2011
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:52,560
Speaker 2: fifty four holes, he's tied for fifty second. Mentioned making

2012
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 2: a lot of missing a lot of potts, makable potts,

2013
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 2: missed a lot of them. Look, Tiger's you know, come on,

2014
01:54:57,920 --> 01:55:03,240
Speaker 2: his legacy is secure with all of the tournaments he's

2015
01:55:03,320 --> 01:55:07,960
Speaker 2: won over the years. Of course, he had the situation

2016
01:55:08,200 --> 01:55:10,960
Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine which spilled into twenty ten,

2017
01:55:11,040 --> 01:55:16,000
Speaker 2: which really changed his life forever. But you have to wonder,

2018
01:55:16,120 --> 01:55:17,440
Speaker 2: you know, if you have to won. He got out

2019
01:55:17,480 --> 01:55:21,000
Speaker 2: of his normal routine. And you know, Tiger likes a

2020
01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 2: good tag team wrestling, is like the next guy. And

2021
01:55:25,040 --> 01:55:28,760
Speaker 2: he made ten bogies or worse on Saturday. That's the

2022
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:32,840
Speaker 2: most in a single round for any major championship. And look,

2023
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:35,320
Speaker 2: I realized that Tiger's forty eight years old now, and

2024
01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 2: he's he's not the same. I get it. But we

2025
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,000
Speaker 2: had a little fun with this subject. I'm not sure

2026
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 2: why that became such a story. But it did, and

2027
01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:50,480
Speaker 2: in terms of you know, in his preparation, Tiger was

2028
01:55:50,560 --> 01:55:54,120
Speaker 2: determined apparently that was reported that he was going to

2029
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 2: abstain from sex and during the tournament or heading out

2030
01:55:58,120 --> 01:56:03,240
Speaker 2: into the tournament. And you know, look after thirty six holes,

2031
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:05,760
Speaker 2: it's not that he got off to a terrible start.

2032
01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 2: He had pars in the first three holes Saturday, including

2033
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:11,640
Speaker 2: a save on a par four third, and the twoth

2034
01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 2: of the matter is it just fell apart after that

2035
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:16,760
Speaker 2: and it just went You just got disastrous. You made

2036
01:56:16,800 --> 01:56:20,640
Speaker 2: a bogim on par three and a double bogem par four,

2037
01:56:20,680 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 2: then another double bogie and it just got worse from there,

2038
01:56:22,960 --> 01:56:27,360
Speaker 2: all right. So here's the deal. Who came up with

2039
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:31,520
Speaker 2: this idea that not having sex before the game is

2040
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:36,080
Speaker 2: a good idea? According to studies done and a journal

2041
01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:40,680
Speaker 2: known as Frontiers and Physiology based on the University of

2042
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:44,280
Speaker 2: Florence in Italy, quote, abstaining from sexual activity before athletic

2043
01:56:44,360 --> 01:56:51,160
Speaker 2: athletic competition is a controversial topic, according to Laura Stefani,

2044
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:54,040
Speaker 2: but we show this is our quote, We showed no

2045
01:56:55,000 --> 01:57:02,240
Speaker 2: robust scientific evidence to indicate that sexual activity has a

2046
01:57:02,360 --> 01:57:04,520
Speaker 2: negative effect upon athletic results.

2047
01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:05,720
Speaker 4: Now.

2048
01:57:05,800 --> 01:57:09,840
Speaker 2: Stefani is an assistant professor of sports Medicine at the

2049
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 2: University of Florence and noted that research has been done

2050
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:18,720
Speaker 2: on the topic. Now, the truth of the matter is,

2051
01:57:19,720 --> 01:57:22,960
Speaker 2: we joked about this when Tiger was back coming the

2052
01:57:24,160 --> 01:57:30,200
Speaker 2: you know, the the waffle houses for his little escapades. Man,

2053
01:57:30,280 --> 01:57:32,320
Speaker 2: that's when he was dominating, right, that's when he was

2054
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 2: just tearing the field apart. But he decides to abstain

2055
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 2: from sex. It became a bit of a punchline. It

2056
01:57:41,200 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 2: didn't help. The Tiger shoots at ten over eleven over

2057
01:57:44,080 --> 01:57:47,920
Speaker 2: on you know, Saturday, and everything goes out the window.

2058
01:57:49,040 --> 01:57:51,840
Speaker 2: So back to the investigation. It turns out that plenty

2059
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:54,600
Speaker 2: of event and bidal stories have been reported and there

2060
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:57,480
Speaker 2: is no evidence that having sex before a sporting event

2061
01:57:58,160 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 2: is bad for you.

2062
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:01,840
Speaker 1: And less of course, it takes place two hours.

2063
01:58:01,920 --> 01:58:06,520
Speaker 2: Before the sporting event, and that evidence actually suggests that

2064
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:11,440
Speaker 2: sexual activity wait for it, may have a beneficial effect

2065
01:58:11,520 --> 01:58:14,040
Speaker 2: on sports performance. So there you have it, Tiger, You

2066
01:58:14,120 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 2: can plan accordingly for next year. Keep it locked, brand new.

2079
01:58:57,120 --> 01:59:00,040
Speaker 2: You can observe a lot by watching and around this

2080
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:02,240
Speaker 2: great nation of ours, from C to Oily C and

2081
01:59:02,280 --> 01:59:05,160
Speaker 2: certainly around the planet, around the globe. Well, people happen

2082
01:59:05,200 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 2: to engage in activities on a daily basis. Sometimes they're weird,

2083
01:59:09,720 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 2: sometimes they're strange. Oftentimes they're just innocuous. Other times they're

2084
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:19,120
Speaker 2: more serious. They can land you in jail. But any

2085
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:21,520
Speaker 2: way you slice it, any way you characterize it, any

2086
01:59:21,520 --> 01:59:24,840
Speaker 2: way you describe these events that people engage in, they

2087
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:28,240
Speaker 2: always leave us scratching our head and asking on ourselves,

2088
01:59:29,080 --> 01:59:42,040
Speaker 2: what kind of brand new fool of you. This one

2089
01:59:42,200 --> 01:59:44,880
Speaker 2: might be one of the weirder ones I've ever done,

2090
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:49,920
Speaker 2: because because of multiple bad decisions, this person made what

2091
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:53,960
Speaker 2: could have been a basic situation far worse. Let's take

2092
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 2: you to somewhere in Massachusetts. I don't even know the city.

2093
01:59:58,760 --> 02:00:01,160
Speaker 2: Let's introduce you to a by the name of Frankie

2094
02:00:01,360 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 2: Portis Well. Porti was riding in the back of a

2095
02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:14,520
Speaker 2: car when it was pulled over and the cops started

2096
02:00:14,560 --> 02:00:21,880
Speaker 2: asking people questions about the car, and mister Porti was

2097
02:00:22,000 --> 02:00:27,080
Speaker 2: a little concerned that the cops would find out that

2098
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:31,400
Speaker 2: he had outstanding probation warrants. He didn't want them to

2099
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:34,120
Speaker 2: find out about them. So, even though he wasn't driving

2100
02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:38,120
Speaker 2: the car when he was asked questions, he decided to

2101
02:00:38,200 --> 02:00:40,440
Speaker 2: do something that didn't make a whole hell of a

2102
02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:45,240
Speaker 2: lot of sense. He identified himself with a fake name,

2103
02:00:46,360 --> 02:00:49,840
Speaker 2: so the trooper that pulled him over by the name

2104
02:00:49,920 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 2: of Driscoll. He noticed that the defendant, mister Porti, was

2105
02:00:54,840 --> 02:00:57,840
Speaker 2: not wearing a seat belt, and he merely asked him

2106
02:00:57,840 --> 02:01:01,520
Speaker 2: to give his name and date of birth as part

2107
02:01:01,560 --> 02:01:05,000
Speaker 2: of the protocol. So this is where it gets crazy.

2108
02:01:05,600 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 2: Mister Porti gave the officer the false name of quote

2109
02:01:10,680 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 2: Daniel Atkins with a birthday of January twenty eighth, nineteen

2110
02:01:15,080 --> 02:01:19,600
Speaker 2: eighty three. Well, the officer went back to his computer,

2111
02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:24,360
Speaker 2: ran the name Daniel Atkins on his computer and his cruiser,

2112
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,840
Speaker 2: and then he learned that there was an active arrest

2113
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:31,200
Speaker 2: warrant for Daniel Atkins, who had a birthday indicating the

2114
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:34,120
Speaker 2: age in the same date range as the date provided

2115
02:01:34,160 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 2: by the defendant, and atkins physical description even matched the

2116
02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:44,000
Speaker 2: defendant mister Driscoll or check that Portis. So when the

2117
02:01:44,080 --> 02:01:47,560
Speaker 2: officer driscoll returned to the car, he started to ask

2118
02:01:47,680 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 2: more questions. The defendant got increasingly confused and nervous, and

2119
02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:57,880
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, mister Porti had no idea and

2120
02:01:57,960 --> 02:02:01,000
Speaker 2: he realized he had basically given the name the fake

2121
02:02:01,160 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 2: name of a wanted man. What does he do? He

2122
02:02:06,240 --> 02:02:08,880
Speaker 2: hops out of the car, pushes the officer to the ground,

2123
02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:12,880
Speaker 2: and tries to run. That didn't go so well either.

2124
02:02:13,440 --> 02:02:18,080
Speaker 2: Mister Portis was subdued, arrested, and sentenced to four years

2125
02:02:18,960 --> 02:02:22,440
Speaker 2: in state prison. The irony is the real Daniel Atkins

2126
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:27,240
Speaker 2: may still be at large. It's maybe the dumbest thing

2127
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:29,880
Speaker 2: I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. All I

2128
02:02:29,960 --> 02:02:33,320
Speaker 2: can say is, mister Porti of somewhere in Massachusetts, what

2129
02:02:33,600 --> 02:02:34,920
Speaker 2: kind of brand new fool of you?

2130
02:02:36,080 --> 02:02:36,400
Speaker 1: All right?

2131
02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:37,960
Speaker 2: The chef, you're up next, buddy.

2132
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:41,120
Speaker 7: Well, this one is a bit tragic as we go

2133
02:02:41,240 --> 02:02:45,960
Speaker 7: to Colorado where an unidentified man has died because get this,

2134
02:02:46,800 --> 02:02:49,640
Speaker 7: he tried doing a ski jump over a highway and

2135
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:52,600
Speaker 7: ended up coming short and landed on the pavement. And

2136
02:02:52,920 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 7: that's just one of those things where you have to

2137
02:02:54,680 --> 02:02:56,320
Speaker 7: think to yourself before even do it. Is this a

2138
02:02:56,400 --> 02:03:00,120
Speaker 7: good idea? And most of us would conclude that know

2139
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,240
Speaker 7: what's not in? This ended with tragedy as went down

2140
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:06,440
Speaker 7: a hill, tried to jump over a it's a US

2141
02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 7: highway forty it said, so presumably four to six lanes

2142
02:03:10,720 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 7: across and came up short, ended up on the pavement.

2143
02:03:14,760 --> 02:03:18,240
Speaker 7: And his identity identity has not been released as they

2144
02:03:18,320 --> 02:03:21,760
Speaker 7: still want to inform his family. But probably one of

2145
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:23,680
Speaker 7: the dumber things I've seen in a while, a man

2146
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:26,600
Speaker 7: going down a hill, trying to jump a highway and

2147
02:03:26,880 --> 02:03:30,960
Speaker 7: it resulted in a tragic death. So, unidentified man, what

2148
02:03:31,080 --> 02:03:32,040
Speaker 7: kind of brand new fool are you?

2149
02:03:33,400 --> 02:03:35,600
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, was this part of a dare

2150
02:03:35,800 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 2: or something?

2151
02:03:36,360 --> 02:03:37,080
Speaker 1: I doesn't say?

2152
02:03:37,160 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well, now what part of the country was this

2153
02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:45,080
Speaker 2: in Colorado? M all right? Just be the first time

2154
02:03:45,120 --> 02:03:46,560
Speaker 2: in a while Florida had made the list.

2155
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:47,520
Speaker 1: All right?

2156
02:03:48,000 --> 02:03:51,640
Speaker 2: That concludes another rousing addition of what kind of brand

02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:01,120
Speaker 2: I must have forgot I remember I was. I covered

2278
02:11:01,160 --> 02:11:03,080
Speaker 2: the pistons in Iyverson came through there. I just don't

2279
02:11:03,120 --> 02:11:05,240
Speaker 2: remember Iverson. It's a Denver nugget. But I believe him.

2280
02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:11,000
Speaker 2: I believe him. I stand corrected. All right. There've only

2281
02:11:11,040 --> 02:11:13,920
Speaker 2: been four players in Major league history who've accumulated three

2282
02:11:13,960 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 2: thousand hits and five hundred home runs. I'm the most

2283
02:11:16,880 --> 02:11:19,680
Speaker 2: recent one to do it. Shaye Morgenngar, What my name.

2284
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:29,520
Speaker 1: Sta Mooky? No, it's not mooky. I have no idea.

2285
02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:34,920
Speaker 2: All right, no problem. There have only been four players

2286
02:11:35,040 --> 02:11:38,200
Speaker 2: in Major League baseball history that have accumulated three thousand

2287
02:11:38,280 --> 02:11:41,400
Speaker 2: hits and five hundred home runs. I'm the most recent

2288
02:11:41,480 --> 02:11:46,680
Speaker 2: one to do it. H Kevin Wyrett Chef. What my name?

2289
02:11:46,720 --> 02:11:48,960
Speaker 1: Did Miguil Cabrera get the five hundred home runs? That's

2290
02:11:48,960 --> 02:11:49,680
Speaker 1: who I'm gonna go with.

2291
02:11:52,320 --> 02:11:55,760
Speaker 2: Uh, you know what, I gotta look that up. Can

2292
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:57,000
Speaker 2: you look that up? Please? Yeah?

Speaker 10: He did, and he's got three thousand hits. He's in

2294
02:12:00,520 --> 02:12:01,800
Speaker 10: the three thousand, five hundred club.

2295
02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I'm not having a good night, guys.

2296
02:12:04,760 --> 02:12:08,280
Speaker 2: I got to give you top credit. I screwed this

2297
02:12:08,520 --> 02:12:12,040
Speaker 2: up because I'd forgotten he'd done that. The last guy

2298
02:12:12,120 --> 02:12:14,000
Speaker 2: to do it prior to that was Rafael Paul Merrow.

2299
02:12:14,480 --> 02:12:17,080
Speaker 2: Rafael Paul Merrow. It's very rarefied here to be in

2300
02:12:17,520 --> 02:12:19,800
Speaker 2: shame on me. At first I blow the Iverson thing,

2301
02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:22,880
Speaker 2: and then I blow the Rafael Paul Merrow thing.

2302
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:24,400

2348
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:36,200
Speaker 2: one particular franchise that if they're in Major League Baseball,

2349
02:14:36,400 --> 02:14:40,400
Speaker 2: if their team, for every home win they would get

2350
02:14:40,440 --> 02:14:44,000
Speaker 2: this season, their fans would get a free whopper. Did

2351
02:14:44,040 --> 02:14:46,760
Speaker 2: you guys hear about this? Because of Florida Marlins, And

2352

Speaker 2: they started out oh to eight, they finally got the

2353
02:14:48,600 --> 02:14:53,080
Speaker 2: win and they finally got their whopper down there in Florida,

2354
02:14:53,120 --> 02:14:53,440
Speaker 2: which I.

2355
02:14:54,360 --> 02:14:55,600

Speaker 1: coming out.

2359
02:15:00,160 --> 02:15:05,360
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, all right, speaking of a whopper. One particular

2360
02:15:05,960 --> 02:15:08,600
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame quarterback to be who won a bunch

2361
02:15:08,640 --> 02:15:12,840
Speaker 2: of Super Bowls. Well, someone asked them the proverbial question

2362
02:15:13,640 --> 02:15:17,280
Speaker 2: and he said, I'm open to it. That caused certain

2363
02:15:17,320 --> 02:15:22,320
Speaker 2: people to lose their mind. Well, we'll explore when we

2364

Speaker 2: from the tarract dot com studios. Well, anytime Tom Brady speaks,

2370
02:15:42,720 --> 02:15:44,880
Speaker 2: some people lose their minds. Let's hear what he had

2371
02:15:44,920 --> 02:15:51,040
Speaker 2: to say. Do we have that sound? Guys?

2372
02:15:54,040 --> 02:15:57,000
Speaker 9: All right, maybe one day there's a situation, right, maybe

2373
02:15:57,000 --> 02:15:58,760
Speaker 9: it's the forty nine ers, Maybe you know, head to

2374
02:15:58,840 --> 02:16:03,880
Speaker 9: the playoffs. Offense is great, Patriots, somebody, somebody you never know,

2375
02:16:04,160 --> 02:16:07,040
Speaker 9: Scott forbid, somebody goes down, would you pick up that phone?

2376
02:16:07,480 --> 02:16:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm not opposed to it. If they would.

2377
02:16:09,280 --> 02:16:10,520
Speaker 10: I don't know if they're gonna let me if I

2378
02:16:10,600 --> 02:16:12,800
Speaker 10: become an owner in the NFL team, But I don't know.

2379
02:16:12,880 --> 02:16:15,160
Speaker 2: If I don't know, I'm always going to be in

2380
02:16:15,200 --> 02:16:16,720
Speaker 2: good shape. I always be able to throw the ball,

2381
02:16:16,880 --> 02:16:19,120
Speaker 2: so to come in for a little bit like MJ

2382
02:16:19,280 --> 02:16:21,440
Speaker 2: coming back. I don't know if they let me, but

2383
02:16:21,480 --> 02:16:23,960
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be opposed to it. All right, So here's

2384
02:16:24,000 --> 02:16:27,280
Speaker 2: the deal. He was asked the question why do they

2385
02:16:27,400 --> 02:16:31,800
Speaker 2: feel the need to ask the question, and he answered, honestly,

2386
02:16:31,880 --> 02:16:34,320
Speaker 2: do I think it's going to happen? Probably not, But

2387
02:16:35,000 --> 02:16:36,840
Speaker 2: to lose your mind over it when this is a

2388
02:16:36,879 --> 02:16:41,040
Speaker 2: guy who triggers certain people almost laughably Shay. Let's just

2389
02:16:41,080 --> 02:16:42,560
Speaker 2: start with you. Do you have a problem if Brady

2390
02:16:42,640 --> 02:16:45,080
Speaker 2: ends up coming back? You saw what Joel Flacco did

2391
02:16:45,120 --> 02:16:48,480
Speaker 2: last year. Let's say November rolls around some contending team,

2392
02:16:48,520 --> 02:16:51,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback goes down, Unfortunately they tap Brady on the

2393
02:16:51,080 --> 02:16:53,240
Speaker 2: shoulder and he comes back. You okay with that? Yeah?

2394
02:16:53,280 --> 02:16:54,920
Speaker 10: I mean I don't have an issue with it at all.

2395
02:16:55,800 --> 02:16:58,520
Speaker 10: The thing with me is is, I mean, we hear

2396
02:16:58,680 --> 02:17:01,520
Speaker 10: Robin the promos he's going. He's saying he's forty seven,

2397
02:17:01,640 --> 02:17:04,400
Speaker 10: forty six hover old. He is, he shouldn't be. He's

2398
02:17:04,400 --> 02:17:06,680
Speaker 10: almost fifty years old. What's he doing? I mean, I

2399
02:17:06,720 --> 02:17:08,800
Speaker 10: don't think we're at a point where age could stop you.

2400
02:17:08,959 --> 02:17:12,800
Speaker 10: With technology, health and everything, it's like you're able to

2401
02:17:12,879 --> 02:17:14,080
Speaker 10: play until you're sixty.

2402
02:17:14,160 --> 02:17:17,880
Speaker 1: Honestly, rotated Brady for twenty years, exactly. It's nothing to

2403
02:17:17,920 --> 02:17:19,800
Speaker 1: do with age, exactly. You know what I mean. So,

2404
02:17:19,920 --> 02:17:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean, do what you want.

2405
02:17:21,480 --> 02:17:23,039
Speaker 10: I believe in if you want to be as old

2406
02:17:23,080 --> 02:17:24,720
Speaker 10: as you want and play whatever you want, you do

2407
02:17:24,800 --> 02:17:27,240
Speaker 10: what you want. But the thing is is, it's just

2408
02:17:27,480 --> 02:17:31,240
Speaker 10: weird that he decided to say such big news on

2409
02:17:31,480 --> 02:17:35,480
Speaker 10: this podcast, especially when he has a podcast of himself

2410
02:17:35,600 --> 02:17:35,959
Speaker 10: but when.

2411
02:17:35,879 --> 02:17:38,120
Speaker 2: He was asked the questions, I don't think he volunteered it.

2412
02:17:38,280 --> 02:17:40,800
Speaker 10: So that's what I'm saying, Like he was asked the question,

2413
02:17:40,959 --> 02:17:43,480
Speaker 10: but at the same time, like I feel like it

2414
02:17:43,640 --> 02:17:46,160
Speaker 10: was just a situation like, oh, this will get clicks.

2415
02:17:47,040 --> 02:17:47,240
Speaker 2: It was.

2416
02:17:47,520 --> 02:17:49,400
Speaker 10: It was the premiere of this podcast. By the way,

2417
02:17:49,520 --> 02:17:51,680
Speaker 10: this podcast was never done before. This is the first

2418
02:17:51,720 --> 02:17:54,040
Speaker 10: time it came out, a very new podcast, and this

2419
02:17:54,200 --> 02:17:56,880
Speaker 10: isn't a sports podcast. This podcast it's by this guy,

2420
02:17:57,000 --> 02:17:59,560
Speaker 10: Vic Blends. He's a Yes, he's a hairdresser and it's

2421
02:17:59,600 --> 02:18:00,760
Speaker 10: called cut by the way.

2422
02:18:01,040 --> 02:18:02,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, so he I.

2423
02:18:02,640 --> 02:18:05,560
Speaker 10: Feel like this was kind of something to basically get

2424
02:18:05,720 --> 02:18:08,240
Speaker 10: a bunch of us to talk about it, get people

2425
02:18:08,320 --> 02:18:10,680
Speaker 10: to say his name on the air, and get people

2426
02:18:10,760 --> 02:18:13,480
Speaker 10: to see that clip. I don't think he's going to

2427
02:18:13,520 --> 02:18:15,360
Speaker 10: go back to the NFL. I don't even think he's

2428
02:18:15,440 --> 02:18:17,560
Speaker 10: thinking about it. I think he honestly just said that

2429
02:18:17,680 --> 02:18:20,440
Speaker 10: because he knew it would get traction and he's helping

2430
02:18:20,520 --> 02:18:23,400
Speaker 10: out Vic. I mean, to be honest, I don't think

2431
02:18:23,400 --> 02:18:25,480
Speaker 10: there's any chance he comes back, But to be honest,

2432
02:18:25,520 --> 02:18:27,480
Speaker 10: if he wants to come back, he should.

2433
02:18:27,560 --> 02:18:29,959
Speaker 2: I don't care what you do where you want stars

2434
02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:32,040
Speaker 2: have to align, someone has to invite him, and then

2435
02:18:32,080 --> 02:18:34,800
Speaker 2: we'll go from there. Chef your quick thoughts on it.

2436
02:18:36,280 --> 02:18:38,320
Speaker 7: I mean, at this point, I don't see I mean,

2437
02:18:38,400 --> 02:18:40,920
Speaker 7: I know that he played still fairly well in his

2438
02:18:41,040 --> 02:18:42,920
Speaker 7: last year, but he's going to be a year reliated

2439
02:18:43,080 --> 02:18:45,760
Speaker 7: very well, and he's gonna be what forty six, so.

2440
02:18:47,280 --> 02:18:50,560
Speaker 2: In August thirty turns forty seven. I think she brought

2441
02:18:50,640 --> 02:18:52,840
Speaker 2: up a good point. You can either player, you can.

2442
02:18:52,920 --> 02:18:54,920
Speaker 2: I can point out guys that are twenty seven. That sucks.

2443
02:18:54,959 --> 02:18:57,080
Speaker 2: So if you can eat a player you can't.

2444
02:18:57,320 --> 02:19:00,240
Speaker 1: But but of course Father Time's also undefeated.

2445
02:18:59,800 --> 02:19:04,200
Speaker 2: And I think Brady's Brady's handed father Time he first lost,

2446
02:19:04,240 --> 02:19:05,000
Speaker 2: but Glad Jeff.

2447
02:19:05,320 --> 02:19:07,840
Speaker 7: But regardless, if I were a fan of a team,

2448
02:19:07,920 --> 02:19:09,800
Speaker 7: i'd be I mean, I guess if it was in

2449
02:19:09,879 --> 02:19:12,840
Speaker 7: the instance of my starting quarterback going down bringing in

2450
02:19:12,959 --> 02:19:18,039
Speaker 7: Brady as an emergency replacement to keep the season alive. Okay, sure,

2451
02:19:18,520 --> 02:19:20,200
Speaker 7: as a fan, I would not be in favor of

2452
02:19:20,360 --> 02:19:22,600
Speaker 7: just trying to bring him in as you know, a

2453
02:19:22,680 --> 02:19:23,560
Speaker 7: week one starter.

2454
02:19:24,440 --> 02:19:26,880
Speaker 2: Oh no, I don't see that happening. No, no, no,

2455
02:19:27,160 --> 02:19:29,800
Speaker 2: You're not going to go through training camp or anything

2456
02:19:29,840 --> 02:19:32,560
Speaker 2: like that. This was this was a I think it

2457
02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:37,400
Speaker 2: was a comparative Joe Flacco situation. Okay, yeah, yeah, uh,

2458
02:19:38,440 --> 02:19:40,920
Speaker 2: I mean just yes or no? Are you okay with it?

2459
02:19:40,959 --> 02:19:42,080
Speaker 1: If he were to do it, I don't have a

2460
02:19:42,160 --> 02:19:46,480
Speaker 1: problem with it. I guess that's that's got the last word, Bud,

2461
02:19:47,640 --> 02:19:49,400
Speaker 1: Oh would you throw a flag back?

2462
02:19:49,480 --> 02:19:52,040
Speaker 2: Oh, this is ridiculous, because that's fair. Man. If that's

2463
02:19:52,040 --> 02:19:53,080
Speaker 2: your opinion, that's your opinion.

2464
02:19:53,560 --> 02:19:56,280
Speaker 1: But you know, I think you should stay home.

2465
02:19:56,800 --> 02:19:58,320
Speaker 2: Okay, it's fair.

2466
02:19:58,600 --> 02:20:01,600
Speaker 8: I mean there's something to he said for an athlete

2467
02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:06,280
Speaker 8: that just can't turn it away. If they can, great,

2468
02:20:06,440 --> 02:20:10,400
Speaker 8: but at a certain point, I'm not saying you have to,

2469
02:20:10,560 --> 02:20:14,240
Speaker 8: but if you can't, let it go, And especially now

2470
02:20:14,280 --> 02:20:16,440
Speaker 8: that I mean, this is the one thing that I'm

2471
02:20:16,440 --> 02:20:19,480
Speaker 8: thinking about that football protects the quarterbacks so much.

2472
02:20:19,400 --> 02:20:21,520
Speaker 1: That nobody could ever touch him. So that's why he

2473
02:20:21,600 --> 02:20:23,000
Speaker 1: never really got hurt because there were.

2474
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:26,240
Speaker 8: So many in might he ain't got hit, many rules

2475
02:20:26,320 --> 02:20:28,320
Speaker 8: that he never really got and quarterbacks are you know,

2476
02:20:28,400 --> 02:20:30,520
Speaker 8: it's a different kind of protection for them now.

2477
02:20:30,800 --> 02:20:32,680
Speaker 1: But if he wants to come back, fine, but just

2478
02:20:32,760 --> 02:20:33,280
Speaker 1: stay home.

2479
02:20:33,920 --> 02:20:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, I think and shape brings up some good points.

2480
02:20:37,959 --> 02:20:39,640
Speaker 2: Maybe this is more of a contrivance than I give

2481
02:20:39,640 --> 02:20:41,880
Speaker 2: it credit for. But he was asked the question, he

2482
02:20:41,959 --> 02:20:46,120
Speaker 2: answered it in a somewhat obtuse way that he's not

2483
02:20:46,240 --> 02:20:48,360
Speaker 2: opposed to it. So let's let's let this play out.

2484
02:20:49,879 --> 02:20:52,800
Speaker 2: The irony is is that some people say Brady can't

2485
02:20:52,879 --> 02:20:54,560
Speaker 2: let it go. Well, some people can't let Brady go.

2486
02:20:54,760 --> 02:20:57,440
Speaker 2: I mean, think about that. The irony is not lost

2487
02:20:57,560 --> 02:21:00,520
Speaker 2: on me. All right, coming out christ Prophess World Soccer.

2488
02:21:00,520 --> 02:21:03,400
Speaker 2: But first we go back to our guy, Kevin Wire

2489
02:21:03,400 --> 02:21:04,480
Speaker 2: at the chef with the latest.

2490
02:21:04,840 --> 02:21:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Masters tournament going on.

2491
02:21:06,480 --> 02:21:09,480
Speaker 7: We are heading into the final round of play on

2492
02:21:09,720 --> 02:21:12,240
Speaker 7: a Sunday, and Scotti Scheffler in the league.

2493
02:21:12,280 --> 02:21:13,480
Speaker 1: He is seven under par.

2494
02:21:14,080 --> 02:21:17,279
Speaker 7: He has one stroke ahead of Colin Morikawa, two ahead

2495
02:21:17,320 --> 02:21:20,160
Speaker 7: of Max Homa as they head into the final round

2496
02:21:20,200 --> 02:21:22,880
Speaker 7: of play at Augusta. But Scotti Scheffler has said that

2497
02:21:23,080 --> 02:21:25,880
Speaker 7: his wife is due to give birth any day in

2498
02:21:25,959 --> 02:21:27,800
Speaker 7: that if she were to go into labor before he

2499
02:21:27,920 --> 02:21:31,240
Speaker 7: tees off, he will withdraw from the tournament. So that

2500
02:21:31,400 --> 02:21:33,440
Speaker 7: is a development to keep an eye on as we

2501
02:21:33,600 --> 02:21:37,640
Speaker 7: head in to the final round at the Masters. In

2502
02:21:38,040 --> 02:21:42,200

02:21:52,000 --> 02:21:53,920
Speaker 7: a couple of hours, but LA wins it five to

2507
02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:57,960
Speaker 7: two as starter Gavin Stone took a perfect game into

2508
02:21:58,240 --> 02:22:01,280
Speaker 7: the sixth inning. Cubs three home runs and a four

2509
02:22:01,280 --> 02:22:03,840
Speaker 7: to one win at Seattle. Giants with five home runs

2510
02:22:03,879 --> 02:22:06,680

Speaker 7: Brewers eleven to five winners at Baltimore. Kansas City victorious

Speaker 7: win against Cleveland. Twins take both against Detroit as they

2516
02:22:25,440 --> 02:22:27,680
Speaker 7: do lose. Shorts up calls Korea for a little while,

2517
02:22:27,720 --> 02:22:30,080
Speaker 7: at least fifteen days as he has been placed on

2518
02:22:30,200 --> 02:22:33,960
Speaker 7: the injured list with a strained oblique. The NBA off

2519
02:22:34,160 --> 02:22:37,800

2520
02:22:37,879 --> 02:22:42,400
Speaker 7: playoff field still yet to be determined. Plenty of possibilities

2521
02:22:42,480 --> 02:22:45,160
Speaker 7: as we enter the final day of the regular season.

2522
02:22:45,320 --> 02:22:47,840
Speaker 7: In the NHL, that playoff field starting to take shape

Speaker 2: plenty of new names, plenty of off the field and

2534
02:23:22,160 --> 02:23:24,959
Speaker 2: on the field news in the world of football, which

2535
02:23:25,040 --> 02:23:28,680
Speaker 2: we call soccer. It's time Chris Purfett's World of Soccer.

2536
02:23:30,160 --> 02:23:40,879
Speaker 11: The greatest goals, the thrilling finishes, the international drum.

2537
02:23:42,280 --> 02:23:43,080
Speaker 1: People him.

2538
02:23:46,000 --> 02:23:49,400
Speaker 12: It's all here in this report from the world of soccer.

2539
02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:52,840
Speaker 12: Big news on both sides of the Atlantic. This week

2540
02:23:53,000 --> 02:23:54,800
Speaker 12: in the world of soccer, Bernie, we're going to be

2541
02:23:54,879 --> 02:23:58,359
Speaker 12: taking you to England and also to the United States.

2542
02:23:58,440 --> 02:24:01,480
Speaker 12: To start out here, let's art with the English story.

2543
02:24:01,560 --> 02:24:05,160
Speaker 12: Let's talk about Liverpool, who has been on the verge

2544
02:24:05,800 --> 02:24:09,640
Speaker 12: of trying to win a new Premier League title. Is

2545
02:24:09,720 --> 02:24:12,280
Speaker 12: the final year for their manager Jurgen Klop. As we

2546
02:24:12,480 --> 02:24:14,960
Speaker 12: enter this weekend, Liverpool sits in a tight race with

2547
02:24:15,240 --> 02:24:19,160
Speaker 12: Arsenal and Manchester City to see who will hold on

2548
02:24:19,480 --> 02:24:23,040
Speaker 12: with about seven eight games to go here in the

2549
02:24:23,120 --> 02:24:27,000
Speaker 12: Premier League season for most clubs. But those title hopes

2550
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:29,240
Speaker 12: were kind of put on hold a little bit after

2551
02:24:29,560 --> 02:24:34,120
Speaker 12: the big Sunday match we had last week between Liverpool

2552
02:24:34,200 --> 02:24:38,119
Speaker 12: and Manchester United where Liverpool grabbed a very early lead

2553
02:24:38,320 --> 02:24:41,640
Speaker 12: thanks to Luis Diaz. Want to watch them fritter it away,

2554
02:24:41,760 --> 02:24:45,280
Speaker 12: giving up two goals to Manchester United until their superstar

2555
02:24:45,400 --> 02:24:48,840
Speaker 12: Mohammed Salah came back in the eighty fourth minute, scoring

2556
02:24:48,920 --> 02:24:52,240
Speaker 12: a penalty kick to equalize and thankfully Liverpool walks out

2557
02:24:52,240 --> 02:24:54,800
Speaker 12: of there with a point, but they lost their chance

2558
02:24:54,920 --> 02:24:58,760
Speaker 12: really do stand alone on the table and instead still

2559
02:24:58,840 --> 02:25:02,720
Speaker 12: sit tied with our and man City one point back.

2560
02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:06,240
Speaker 12: That's all coming into this weekend, things will change, obviously.

2561
02:25:07,200 --> 02:25:09,959
Speaker 12: It's also coming on the heels now as we look

2562
02:25:10,040 --> 02:25:14,240
Speaker 12: to this coming weekend of a thrashing Liverpool took in

2563
02:25:14,440 --> 02:25:17,640
Speaker 12: UEFA Europa League. Now as a reminder, if you're not

2564
02:25:17,680 --> 02:25:22,280
Speaker 12: familiar with YUWEFA Europa League, European international competition for clubs

2565
02:25:22,320 --> 02:25:25,080
Speaker 12: goes in multiple tiers. The Champions League is the top

2566
02:25:25,120 --> 02:25:26,960
Speaker 12: one is the one we all know. More on the

2567
02:25:27,040 --> 02:25:30,880
Speaker 12: Champions League in a second. But Liverpool took a three

2568
02:25:31,000 --> 02:25:35,000
Speaker 12: to zero thrashing on the first leg to Italian side

2569
02:25:35,200 --> 02:25:38,880
Speaker 12: Atalanta in the Europa League, not one. I do not

2570
02:25:39,040 --> 02:25:41,720
Speaker 12: think they will be able to come back from that. Said,

2571
02:25:42,080 --> 02:25:45,240
Speaker 12: as rough as it looks, between those two games, between

2572
02:25:45,280 --> 02:25:47,200
Speaker 12: the man U game where they could have had three

2573
02:25:47,280 --> 02:25:50,360
Speaker 12: points that has settled with one and getting thrashed for

2574
02:25:50,600 --> 02:25:55,240
Speaker 12: a trio by Italian side Atalanta, they are looking to

2575
02:25:55,320 --> 02:25:57,600
Speaker 12: this weekend a little sore, a little worse for where

2576
02:25:57,600 --> 02:25:59,760
Speaker 12: they're playing here on Sunday against Crystal Palace.

2577
02:25:59,800 --> 02:26:01,480
Speaker 1: Hot Crystal Palace.

2578
02:26:01,879 --> 02:26:04,160
Speaker 12: However, I don't think this is a terrible thing if

2579
02:26:04,200 --> 02:26:07,320
Speaker 12: they get thrashed in the Europa League. Europa League is

2580
02:26:07,480 --> 02:26:09,760
Speaker 12: not something that I think Liverpool has their eyes on.

2581
02:26:09,840 --> 02:26:13,280
Speaker 12: They should focus on the Premier League this time of year,

2582
02:26:13,480 --> 02:26:16,640
Speaker 12: especially with the top clubs, it's easy to get lost

2583
02:26:16,720 --> 02:26:20,760
Speaker 12: between the international side of things and the and the

2584
02:26:20,959 --> 02:26:24,760
Speaker 12: club side of things the domestic flight, so Liverpool should

2585
02:26:24,840 --> 02:26:27,280
Speaker 12: just kind of punt on the Europa League if they

2586
02:26:27,400 --> 02:26:30,320
Speaker 12: can and just whatever they get next time they play

2587
02:26:30,760 --> 02:26:34,960
Speaker 12: at Atlanta. Just take what you can get. The Champions

2588
02:26:35,040 --> 02:26:38,320
Speaker 12: League has been utterly fascinating and we've had some very

2589
02:26:38,520 --> 02:26:43,720
Speaker 12: interesting road wins here, especially Barcelona stealing the game two

2590
02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:50,120
Speaker 12: three at Paris Saint Germain, and draws between Arsenal, Bayern Munich,

2591
02:26:50,240 --> 02:26:53,760
Speaker 12: Real Madrid and Manchester City setting up for second legs

2592
02:26:53,760 --> 02:26:56,959
Speaker 12: that will be very, very shocking. The only club here

2593
02:26:57,040 --> 02:26:59,360
Speaker 12: to really pull out a win in the Champions League

2594
02:26:59,680 --> 02:27:02,720
Speaker 12: was at Letty Co Madrid to one over Barussia Dortmund.

2595
02:27:03,000 --> 02:27:06,640
Speaker 12: Hard for me, however, to count nortonund out, especially at

2596
02:27:06,720 --> 02:27:09,040
Speaker 12: this point. Either way, what it is setting up for

2597
02:27:09,720 --> 02:27:12,760
Speaker 12: is a second leg week coming up here that will

2598
02:27:12,800 --> 02:27:17,000
Speaker 12: be incredibly thrilling in the Champions League and we cannot

2599
02:27:17,040 --> 02:27:19,400
Speaker 12: wait for that. But if you want to talk about

2600
02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:24,160
Speaker 12: those kind of priorities, think about Arsenal, who drew level

2601
02:27:24,240 --> 02:27:26,720
Speaker 12: with Bayern Munich there. Think about Manchester City, who drew

2602
02:27:26,800 --> 02:27:30,160
Speaker 12: level with Real Madrid in these first legs. They too,

2603
02:27:30,360 --> 02:27:32,080
Speaker 12: are the other ones fighting for the top of that

2604
02:27:32,160 --> 02:27:35,880
Speaker 12: Premier League table. Where will they allocate resources? How much

2605
02:27:36,000 --> 02:27:39,040
Speaker 12: dress can their biggest stars get? Can they juggle all

2606
02:27:39,120 --> 02:27:42,200
Speaker 12: of these things? These are all important things. Manchester City

2607
02:27:42,240 --> 02:27:45,560
Speaker 12: has a lot of experience juggling these, especially last year

2608
02:27:45,600 --> 02:27:49,280
Speaker 12: with how many trophies and titles they won, Arsenal not

2609
02:27:49,600 --> 02:27:54,120
Speaker 12: quite so as much. And Arsenal here someone who is

2610
02:27:54,320 --> 02:27:56,440
Speaker 12: so close to winning the Premier League last year, just

2611
02:27:56,520 --> 02:27:59,480
Speaker 12: to watch it fall out of grasp and now from

2612
02:27:59,520 --> 02:28:04,280
Speaker 12: Onechampions League to another, let's move to the CONCACAFF Champions League.

2613
02:28:04,680 --> 02:28:08,400
Speaker 12: It is played between the clubs of the North American region,

2614
02:28:08,879 --> 02:28:12,840
Speaker 12: and Tremor's really coming out of Inter Miami and a

2615
02:28:13,080 --> 02:28:17,600
Speaker 12: sound thrashing they took in the conca CAFF Champions League

2616
02:28:17,879 --> 02:28:22,720
Speaker 12: to Mexican side Monterey. It ended their Champions League run.

2617
02:28:23,280 --> 02:28:28,000
Speaker 12: For the inter Miami they bow out in the quarterfinals,

2618
02:28:28,400 --> 02:28:31,480
Speaker 12: and it's something that I think deserves a little bit

2619
02:28:31,560 --> 02:28:36,640
Speaker 12: of attention because really in both legs, Monterey thrashed Inter

2620
02:28:36,800 --> 02:28:42,000
Speaker 12: Miami five to two on aggregate, and even with Leonelle Messi,

2621
02:28:42,040 --> 02:28:45,360
Speaker 12: inter Miami did not look the side that we've kind

2622
02:28:45,400 --> 02:28:48,360
Speaker 12: of expected them to be. Now, I don't take anything

2623
02:28:48,400 --> 02:28:51,400
Speaker 12: away from their MLS tour. I don't take anyway from

2624
02:28:51,440 --> 02:28:55,240
Speaker 12: their MLS season as that unfolds, but I believe that

2625
02:28:55,360 --> 02:28:58,520
Speaker 12: the rivalry between the United States and League MX. Really

2626
02:28:58,760 --> 02:29:02,560
Speaker 12: there is a talent difference here that is still at play.

2627
02:29:03,240 --> 02:29:06,520
Speaker 12: And indeed, someone who agrees with me is Inter Miami's coach,

2628
02:29:07,240 --> 02:29:12,240
Speaker 12: the legendary Tata Martino, who blasted MLS over the roster

2629
02:29:12,400 --> 02:29:15,720
Speaker 12: rules for his team's inability to compete at the same

2630
02:29:15,920 --> 02:29:17,880
Speaker 12: level as Liga MX.

2631
02:29:18,000 --> 02:29:19,000
Speaker 1: That was his quote.

2632
02:29:19,480 --> 02:29:22,200
Speaker 12: He is saying that American teams are simply tied at

2633
02:29:22,240 --> 02:29:25,880
Speaker 12: the hands on various rules and cannot really compete with

2634
02:29:25,920 --> 02:29:29,680
Speaker 12: the Mexican clubs. And this has underscored a situation for

2635
02:29:30,480 --> 02:29:33,480
Speaker 12: MLS and their Board of Governors to figure out things.

2636
02:29:33,600 --> 02:29:33,720
Speaker 2: Now.

2637
02:29:33,800 --> 02:29:36,640
Speaker 12: On Tuesday, they did meet and they've approved changes to

2638
02:29:37,080 --> 02:29:39,320
Speaker 12: some of these roster rules. There's a lot to get into.

2639
02:29:39,879 --> 02:29:42,640
Speaker 12: MLS rules are very labyrinthian. There's a lot of stuff

2640
02:29:42,640 --> 02:29:48,519
Speaker 12: about designated players under twenty two Initiative signings, general allocation

2641
02:29:48,760 --> 02:29:52,199
Speaker 12: money teams receive when players transfer out of the league.

2642
02:29:52,800 --> 02:29:54,920
Speaker 12: One of the things they tried to get to talk

2643
02:29:54,959 --> 02:29:57,320
Speaker 12: about but couldn't get in was something called a Legends

2644
02:29:57,400 --> 02:30:02,000
Speaker 12: rule that would have allowed flexibility and retain long term veterans.

2645
02:30:01,560 --> 02:30:03,640
Speaker 1: But that was not passed either way.

2646
02:30:03,760 --> 02:30:07,119
Speaker 12: The point is that the MLS has a lot of rules,

2647
02:30:07,200 --> 02:30:10,240
Speaker 12: a lot of things that govern what you can and

2648
02:30:10,360 --> 02:30:13,240
Speaker 12: cannot spend money on for players, and in a lot

2649
02:30:13,280 --> 02:30:16,440
Speaker 12: of ways it is handicapped this league to being able

2650
02:30:16,520 --> 02:30:21,080
Speaker 12: to compete, and I think, to be honest, it is

2651
02:30:21,160 --> 02:30:24,320
Speaker 12: handicapped this league in presenting a product on the field

2652
02:30:24,560 --> 02:30:27,800
Speaker 12: that can be enticing. In the wake of Leonel Messi

2653
02:30:27,920 --> 02:30:31,000
Speaker 12: coming to MLS, the MLS has to be encouraged, their

2654
02:30:31,080 --> 02:30:34,240
Speaker 12: owners have to be encouraged to spend to attract big

2655
02:30:34,360 --> 02:30:37,320
Speaker 12: stars from around the world to play and to have

2656
02:30:37,640 --> 02:30:40,880
Speaker 12: great world class squads. And with a lot of the

2657
02:30:40,959 --> 02:30:44,920
Speaker 12: rules in MLS, as Martine has pointed out, it's simply

2658
02:30:45,040 --> 02:30:47,560
Speaker 12: not getting done. We've talked a lot on this segment

2659
02:30:47,600 --> 02:30:50,120
Speaker 12: about how MLS has to strike while the iron is

2660
02:30:50,160 --> 02:30:53,680
Speaker 12: hot while they have Messimania, and part of that is

2661
02:30:53,760 --> 02:30:56,160
Speaker 12: getting rid of a lot of these rules, making it

2662
02:30:56,320 --> 02:31:00,520
Speaker 12: so that clubs can go after stars, go after talent,

2663
02:31:00,879 --> 02:31:04,320
Speaker 12: and make world class clubs. Until that time, it keep

2664
02:31:04,400 --> 02:31:06,800
Speaker 12: expecting the cream of the crop of MLS to keep

2665
02:31:06,800 --> 02:31:11,080
Speaker 12: getting thrashed in champions leagues in Conca Calf by Mexican

2666
02:31:11,240 --> 02:31:15,119
Speaker 12: sides because the Mexican clubs are fantastics. Some of them

2667
02:31:15,240 --> 02:31:19,000
Speaker 12: are have some of great play and really MLS needs

2668
02:31:19,040 --> 02:31:20,880
Speaker 12: to step their game up. That's it for the World

2669
02:31:20,959 --> 02:31:22,000
Speaker 12: of Soccer this week. Bernie.

2670
02:31:22,040 --> 02:31:23,039
Speaker 1: We'll see you next time.

2671
02:31:23,360 --> 02:31:26,119
Speaker 2: You had it Chrisphfett's World of Soccer Never Dull moment

2672
02:31:26,280 --> 02:31:29,320
Speaker 2: coming up. We wrap up the show, and Monday is

2673
02:31:29,520 --> 02:31:34,959
Speaker 2: Tax Day, which reminds me of the late great Harry Carey.

2674
02:31:35,640 --> 02:31:39,360
Speaker 2: Perhaps he should have been an accountant because the records

2675
02:31:39,400 --> 02:31:44,240
Speaker 2: he CAF twelve. I'll explain. I'll appropriate that we share

2676
02:31:44,280 --> 02:31:47,959
Speaker 2: this with you since Monday is Tax Day. I'm Bernie Fraddle.

2677
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:50,000
Speaker 2: We're coming to live from Las Vegas Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 2: tarret dot Com studios. Keep it locked you listening to

2697
02:32:53,440 --> 02:32:56,840
Speaker 2: You know, Monday is April fifteenth. Monday is tax Day

2698
02:32:57,640 --> 02:33:02,400
Speaker 2: and for me it conjures up images of Harry Carry.

2699
02:33:02,800 --> 02:33:05,959
Speaker 2: Let's hear from Harry. Oh love me Herry.

2700
02:33:07,440 --> 02:33:14,120
Speaker 1: And loud alright, Gary holl on odd Road, Odd brave.

2701
02:33:26,320 --> 02:33:30,760
Speaker 2: Who can forget the dulcic tones of Harry Carry an

2702
02:33:30,800 --> 02:33:34,640
Speaker 2: absolute legend. Even if you never heard him while he

2703
02:33:34,840 --> 02:33:38,520
Speaker 2: was alive, even if you never heard him after he

2704
02:33:38,680 --> 02:33:42,760
Speaker 2: was alive, in recordings, you've heard of him. There's been

2705
02:33:42,879 --> 02:33:46,160
Speaker 2: lots written about Harry Carey. A year after his death,

2706
02:33:46,240 --> 02:33:51,039
Speaker 2: he was inducted into the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame.

2707
02:33:52,040 --> 02:33:55,400
Speaker 2: Harry Carey was a legend in Chicago, not only with

2708
02:33:55,560 --> 02:33:59,960
Speaker 2: the Chicago White Sox, where he started in nineteen seventy two,

2709
02:34:00,160 --> 02:34:05,320
Speaker 2: but also certainly with the Chicago Cubs. He cut a deal,

2710
02:34:05,520 --> 02:34:08,640
Speaker 2: by the way, his pay was pegged the ballpark attendants,

2711
02:34:09,240 --> 02:34:12,520
Speaker 2: and he started to become famous by singing take me

2712
02:34:12,600 --> 02:34:15,080
Speaker 2: out to the ballgame for the seventh inning stretch, which

2713
02:34:15,120 --> 02:34:17,880
Speaker 2: you just heard. And he had, you know, his signature

2714
02:34:17,959 --> 02:34:21,560
Speaker 2: lines like holy Cowed, Holy mackerel, and you know, I'm

2715
02:34:21,600 --> 02:34:24,000
Speaker 2: a Cub fundal ball man. You know, he's just a

2716
02:34:24,040 --> 02:34:26,720
Speaker 2: great guy, right, legend. But let me tell you something

2717
02:34:26,800 --> 02:34:29,480
Speaker 2: else that made Harry Carey a legend. And this is

2718
02:34:29,560 --> 02:34:32,960
Speaker 2: the tie in that Sunday and Monday is tax day,

2719
02:34:32,959 --> 02:34:36,920
Speaker 2: April fifteenth, you know, over the years, and I'm not

2720
02:34:37,040 --> 02:34:39,240
Speaker 2: sure exactly one hundred percent with the laws are now,

2721
02:34:39,320 --> 02:34:42,640
Speaker 2: but there was a time where if you kept journals

2722
02:34:42,720 --> 02:34:46,279
Speaker 2: for tax purposes, you could deduct the cost of business

2723
02:34:46,440 --> 02:34:49,080
Speaker 2: entertaining as long as you kept tracking your receipts and

2724
02:34:49,200 --> 02:34:52,959
Speaker 2: the dates and the names of the people entertained. Well,

2725
02:34:53,000 --> 02:34:57,360
Speaker 2: starting in nineteen seventy two, an artifact of Harry Carey

2726
02:34:57,720 --> 02:35:03,520
Speaker 2: was actually found. And forget the fact that the diary

2727
02:35:03,760 --> 02:35:07,360
Speaker 2: that Harry Carey kept in nineteen seventy two, which I believed,

2728
02:35:07,920 --> 02:35:09,800
Speaker 2: which I believe was his first year with the Chicago

2729
02:35:09,879 --> 02:35:13,440
Speaker 2: White Sox. Forget the fact that it documents two hundred

2730
02:35:13,440 --> 02:35:16,520
Speaker 2: and eighty eight days of uninterrupted drinking, according to a

2731
02:35:16,600 --> 02:35:19,560
Speaker 2: report in the Chicago sometimes years ago. We all know

2732
02:35:19,640 --> 02:35:21,680
Speaker 2: Harry could put it away, right, we all know. I mean,

2733
02:35:21,760 --> 02:35:24,440
Speaker 2: he was legend for talking about that, and frankly, you

2734
02:35:24,560 --> 02:35:27,160
Speaker 2: often wonder if he was still feeling the effects while

2735
02:35:27,200 --> 02:35:29,800
Speaker 2: he was on the air the next day. But Harry

2736
02:35:29,920 --> 02:35:34,680
Speaker 2: kept this diary for tax purposes, and he entertained people.

2737
02:35:34,800 --> 02:35:37,879
Speaker 2: And the names included names like Will Chamberlain and Don

2738
02:35:37,959 --> 02:35:42,480
Speaker 2: Drysdale and Jack Dempsey and Jack Benny. And here's what's interesting.

2739
02:35:43,600 --> 02:35:47,320
Speaker 2: What Harry did was he kept his biography. He checked

2740
02:35:47,320 --> 02:35:50,600
Speaker 2: that he kept his diary. Apparently he kept a total

2741
02:35:50,640 --> 02:35:54,039
Speaker 2: of eight diaries, but the one in nineteen seventy two

2742
02:35:54,840 --> 02:35:58,720
Speaker 2: is the one that got the most notoriety because it

2743
02:35:58,879 --> 02:36:05,680
Speaker 2: chronicles starting on January first, nineteen seventy two, Harry went

2744
02:36:05,720 --> 02:36:10,400
Speaker 2: to a bar that day, and between January first and

2745
02:36:10,560 --> 02:36:14,920
Speaker 2: December twenty fourth and nineteen seventy two, the diary shows

2746
02:36:15,360 --> 02:36:18,560
Speaker 2: Harry spent at least three hundred and fifty four of

2747
02:36:18,680 --> 02:36:22,520
Speaker 2: the previous three hundred and fifty seven days in bars,

2748
02:36:23,600 --> 02:36:30,480
Speaker 2: and he chronicled these adventures for tax purposes. Fact on

2749
02:36:30,640 --> 02:36:33,880
Speaker 2: January first, the diary shows him visiting four bars in

2750
02:36:33,920 --> 02:36:36,560
Speaker 2: the same day, running up a tab of forty bucks.

2751
02:36:37,360 --> 02:36:38,879
Speaker 2: That may not sound a lot to you in twenty

2752
02:36:38,920 --> 02:36:42,320
Speaker 2: twenty four numbers, but remember back in nineteen seventy two,

2753
02:36:42,360 --> 02:36:45,879
Speaker 2: a full six pack of beer only cost a dollar

2754
02:36:45,959 --> 02:36:49,200
Speaker 2: twenty nine. So maybe you can take note from Harry

2755
02:36:49,320 --> 02:36:53,600
Speaker 2: on tax Day, keep records. Harry shre did two hundred

2756
02:36:53,640 --> 02:36:57,040
Speaker 2: and eighty eight straight days in a bar, documented his

2757
02:36:57,240 --> 02:37:00,920
Speaker 2: bar tabs, documented the bars he went to, kept track

2758
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:03,920
Speaker 2: of his receipts and the dates and names of the

2759
02:37:04,000 --> 02:37:07,280
Speaker 2: people he entertained. I don't know if Harry would have

2760
02:37:07,280 --> 02:37:09,520
Speaker 2: made a great accountant. Maybe he would have made a

2761
02:37:09,560 --> 02:37:11,560
Speaker 2: great account but he made a great announcer. Just hearing

2762
02:37:11,640 --> 02:37:16,160
Speaker 2: that SoundBite a minute ago obviously brings back great members,

2763
02:37:16,480 --> 02:37:19,120
Speaker 2: great memories of the great Harry Carey. As we are

2764
02:37:19,320 --> 02:37:22,960
Speaker 2: on the cusp of tax Day and Terry Harry teaches

2765
02:37:23,040 --> 02:37:25,000
Speaker 2: a thing or two about keeping records, it's going to

2766
02:37:25,040 --> 02:37:26,480
Speaker 2: do it for the Bernie Frattters Show. See you next

2767
02:37:26,520 --> 02:37:29,480
Speaker 2: Friday at eleven pm. In the meantime, keep it locked

2768
02:37:29,560 --> 02:37:32,080
Speaker 2: up next to the great Andy Furman Fox Sports Radio.
