1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangs 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: all here. It's our two more phone calls, best and 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: words to the weekend which you saw that you liked 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: you didn't like? Drew Brees in limbo right now? Could 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: he play again? Does he want to go to another network? 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 1: Was he joking with all of this over the weekend 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 1: that he's out at NBC? Does that mean that he's 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: headed to Fox? Is he's still going to do Notre 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: Dame games? Would he want to come back and play 11 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: for the New Orleans Saints since he's still under contract? 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: Had that for you? Coming up? First hour? We talked 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: an awful lot about what happened to the Phoenix Suns. 14 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: Give credit to the MAVs, Luca don Chick, That's what 15 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: great players do. When you're up by forty two. At 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: one point you realize somebody didn't show up? Why is that? 17 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: Chris Paul all the point? God, Devin Booker, MVP candidate, 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayden, Monnie Williams Coach of the Year. Okay, what's 19 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: that matter? What's that mean? Where did you go? Why 20 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: weren't you ready when Monnie Williams, they head coach of 21 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns, who I have great admiration for it, 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: says after I didn't I didn't prepare my team. Okay, 23 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: I got. I got two things that you need to 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: do to prepare for the Donald's Mavericks. A don't make 25 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: fun of Luca and be guard him. That's your prep work. 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: And I'm sure Monnie Williams is just covering for his team. 27 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: That's as embarrassing as you'll ever have in an elimination 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: game where you just didn't show up. I mean, Milwaukee 29 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: got blown out, but they did try, they showed up, 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: they played hard, They took that team to seven games, 31 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: and they didn't have their second best player in Chris Middleton. 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: But the Celtics started the year eighteen and twenty one. 33 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: We knew they had a lot of talent, but you 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: didn't know if they had enough talent to get by Milwaukee. 35 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: We knew Philadelphia was going to be good, Miami was 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: going to be good, but the Eastern Conference finals. It 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: is now a reminder of where the Celtics were and 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: who the Celtics are now. And every couple of years 39 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: we see teams in different sports ride hot streaks into 40 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: the postseason. You know, the Atlanta Braves did this impressive 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: second half of the season last year, won the World Series. 42 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Twenty eleven, Kemba Walker and the Yukon Huskies wrote an 43 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: incredible run to the national title. Momentum obviously is in everything, 44 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: but in a competitive series, it can give you an edge, 45 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: and Boston had that because Boston was going up against 46 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the best player in the game in Yannis, and Yannis 47 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: got his points and got his rebounds, had his moments. 48 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,359 Speaker 1: But when the series went back to Milwaukee for Game six, 49 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: and Milwaukee was a slight favor and I said, I 50 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: don't know why I feel this way, but Boston's going 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: to win Game six, and then going back to Boston, 52 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: I didn't give Milwaukee much of a chance. But you know, conversely, 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,639 Speaker 1: when I looked at Dallas against Phoenix, I thought Phoenix 54 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: great all year, everything seems to be kind of falling 55 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: into place. They're going to go back to the NBA Finals, 56 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden of two games to none, 57 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: and they started to have a little bit of fun. 58 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: And I would think somebody someone's underestimated the Dallas Mavericks 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: and Luca now's one thing to go, Okay, Luca's going 60 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: to get his points. It's the supporting cast that probably thought, okay, 61 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: it's basically Luca's team. You don't even know who we 62 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: are or care who we are, and then you're gonna 63 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: mock Luca. And I thought, man, the basketball gods, they 64 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: don't always have a sense of humor here. And when 65 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: they did that to Luca, you know, him flopping as 66 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: if Lucas the one guy in the NBA who flops, 67 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: but Chris Paul, Devin Booker, they talked about the Lucas 68 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: Special and I thought, man, this reminds me of when 69 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: Dirk Novitsky had a cough in the NBA finals and 70 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: Lebron and d Wade were making fun of him. And 71 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: we brought this up to Dirk and he's like, no, 72 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. You know, we moved past this. 73 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: Probably took him fifteen years to move past it. But 74 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: that's where you go. You'll always say if I'm if 75 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: I'm Dirk. Every time I see Lebron, I go hey 76 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: Lebron or d Wade, Hey d Wade, how are you? 77 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: And then I just show that championship ring to say, oh, 78 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: that try, Tim, we beat you that time. And I 79 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: started thinking with you know, Devin Booker, Okay, let's you 80 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: got to make sure you hold up your end of 81 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 1: the bargain. Here, you better produce. And then I I mean, 82 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: Luca has the same number of points as the Phoenix 83 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: Suns do, and I went, book you better step up here. 84 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: Point God, you better step up here. DeAndre Ayden apparently 85 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: he had a little back and forth with his head 86 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: coach Montie Williams, playing time limited. That's not what happens 87 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: in game Seven's not to great teams. And now you 88 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: move forward, Golden State. Who do you think is the 89 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: favorite to win the title? According to Draft Kings up 90 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: to date odds to win the title? Golden State? Then 91 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: the Celtics, Miami and Dallas. I've got the odds to 92 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: win the NBA Championship next year?

Forty 129 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: six percent of the audience saying the Suns. But on 130 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: Twitter we combined CP three and Suns into one thing 131 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: and they have eighty five.

Yeah. Phil has with drawn from the 137 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: PJA Championship at least. I guess that's how it's being 138 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: you know, phrased. The PJA Tour says he can play, 139 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: he's the defending champ, but I don't. I don't know 140 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: what's going on. And talking to uh at least two 141 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 1: people in what would be his inner circle, they're not 142 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: quite sure either. There's a lot of things going on 143 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: in his personal life. Let's put it that way. Uh 144 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: there's a book that's coming out going to have some 145 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: damaging things in it. What he said about the Saudis 146 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: and uh you know this this uh Saudi back tour, 147 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: the Live Tour um, Yeah, I don't. I don't know. 148 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: If it's one of those where they go, it's best 149 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: for you not to go to Augusta, it's best for 150 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: you not to go to the PJA Championship. But I 151 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: don't know. And maybe Greg Norman, who's the one who 152 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: is the face of the Live tournament, maybe he said, hey, 153 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: let's not do it, let's don't bring any more negative 154 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: news to this. But I don't know what's going on. 155 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: It just feels like there's more questions here than answers 156 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: With Phil Nicholson, but he's not going to depend his 157 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: PJA championship. Who would have thought if I said, you know, 158 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 1: six months ago, hey, you know who's going to miss 159 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,719 Speaker 1: a couple of majors? Phil? You know who's gonna play 160 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: in him Tiger. But still waiting to hear a little 161 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: bit more information about this Phil, and we've reached out 162 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: to see if he wanted to do an interview, and 163 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: you know what, it's smart of him not to do 164 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: any interviews right now because Phil probably thinks he could 165 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: talk his way out of something or into something, and 166 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: in this situation, maybe it's best that you just let 167 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: it cool down a little bit. But you know, we 168 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: love watching Phil plays. It'll be disappointing to not have 169 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: the PGA champion there. But that's kind of all the 170 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: information we have. And I was told that he was 171 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: suspended by the PGA Tour. Now the PGA Tour, you know, 172 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: says they didn't do that. I'm going to guess there's 173 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: no email, there's no paper trail. PGA Tour could have said, hey, 174 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 1: how many you go into time out? Because I don't 175 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: know as much as Phil loves the Masters, that Phil 176 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 1: would choose not to play. And I don't know if 177 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 1: the Masters would say, hey, we don't want any negative publicity. 178 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: Masters nobody tells them what to do, and I don't 179 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: think they shy away from any of that stuff. And 180 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: they said you're still invited. Did the PGA Tour say 181 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: to Phil, Hey, we're still trying to run a tournament here, 182 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,599 Speaker 1: We're trying to run a tour here. You guys, you 183 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: and Greg Norman, are you know, trying to put a 184 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: dent in the PGA Tour. Why don't you sit out 185 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: this championship here? Why don't you maybe give it some 186 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: more thought of what you're doing and how you're doing it. 187 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: And maybe Phil needs money. Maybe that's why this Saudi 188 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: Back you know, tour is really important to him. If 189 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: it's true that he lost forty million dollars in gambling 190 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 1: over a four year period, he's made a lot of money. 191 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: He hadn't made that much money where you go, Hey, 192 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, Hud after taxes, I have, you know, eighteen 193 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: million dollars and I spent ten million and I lost it. 194 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: Maybe that factor is in as well, But it's a 195 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: it's a mystery with this. But Phil not playing in 196 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: the PGA Championship, Yes, Paul, Yeah, I like what you're saying. 197 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: There about wonder if it's the opposite where Greg Norman 198 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: and Phil said, let's keep things quiet. Your next appearance 199 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: will be in London for the Live Tour, where people 200 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 1: will tune in to see you golf, maybe tune in 201 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: to see you talk whatever, as long as they tune in. Ye, 202 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, we'll talk about that. Drew Brees did an 203 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: interview with us. This was back in twenty twenty one, 204 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: and we were talking about being an analyst or also 205 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: being in studio. And I have a thought about Drew 206 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Brees in what he wants to do. I don't think 207 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: he's coming back to play, but you know, it's one 208 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: thing about being an analyst in the studio and another 209 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 1: thing about being out at the game site. So we'll 210 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: talk about that coming up. Phone calls are always welcome, emails, tweets, 211 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: and we'll take a break.

They throw a no hitter combine no hitters, 233 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: still lost one nothing to the Pirates this weekend. Hunter 234 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: Green big deal and he was number one overall. Pick 235 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,480 Speaker 1: I believe by the Reds and he's been great. Redsi 236 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: not although they did have a stretch where I think 237 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: they won six to ten, but they're still off to 238 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: a historically bad start.

I wanted to get in on 242 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: your conversations of the best endings ever. I don't know 243 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: if you did you ever get into the show Six 244 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: Feet Under? I did not. All the ending is incredible 245 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: they have They've jumped forward fifty years and they show 246 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: how each of the characters die. But it gives me 247 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: an opportunity to ask me to ask you something I've 248 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: always wanted to know. Before he was on Six Feet Under, 249 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: Peter Krause was on a show called Sports Night, and 250 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if you know if you were ever contacted 251 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: with his character based on on you. Yes, Peter Krause. 252 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: I think it's how it's pronounced, but yeah, his character 253 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: was based off mine. And Josh Charles was supposed to 254 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: be Keith Oberman. But we didn't meet with the Sports 255 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 1: Night people. The writers, and they came in. They wanted 256 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: to know we gave them all these stories. They didn't 257 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: use any of the stories because I said, these things 258 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: actually happened here and they chose to go in a 259 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: different path there. But yeah, I met with the writers 260 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: of that show, Aaron Sorkin, so I just didn't think 261 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: he did a great job in capturing what we thought 262 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: that show should have been about, because it you know, 263 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: those shows are always most shows are just about relationships. 264 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what the topic is, the theme is, 265 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: it's about relationships. And this was about producers and know 266 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: the on air talent, and I just I didn't think 267 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: it was well done. Yeah me, mister TV critiquing Eron Sorkin. 268 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: You know, Eron, I just don't think you did a 269 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 1: good job on that. But if I did sit down 270 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: with him, I would say, you know, why didn't you 271 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: use some of the stories that we gave you because 272 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: they were things that actually happened, and there's nothing better 273 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: than that's real and instead of let's try to create something. 274 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, I thought that Sports Night, I thought somebody 275 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: would take another run at trying to do something like that. 276 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: Behind the scenes, what goes into a drama, all of 277 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: those things and you know, just the wackiness, the insecurity 278 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: that you have, the narcissism that's in there pretty much 279 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: like this show, Yes, pulling. I wonder why some shows fail, 280 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: Like I wonder if Sports Night, why would you watch SPORTSNT? 281 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: We could just turn on Sports Center. You know, It's like, 282 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: why why are gonna watch a show about a show? Well, 283 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: didn't they have a show Aaron Sorkin something on the 284 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: Sunset Strip that was about Saturday Night Live. It was 285 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: Basie showing how SARENT Live is built. I can't route 286 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: was called It's something on a Sunset Strip, But it 287 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: was a show that didn't last, and it's all about 288 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: SNL like a SNL type show. Aaron Sorkin overrated question Mark. 289 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 1: I didn't say it. I don't want that. That heat. Well, 290 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: that's going to take me out of the mix there 291 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: for any of his shows that I'm going to audition for. Yes, Todd, 292 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: You're like, well, you're talking about the Shandling Show Captured things. Yes, 293 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna look at that kind of genre of 294 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 1: what goes on behind the scenes with a late night 295 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: talk show, I tried to recreate that. I tried to 296 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: and I reached out to Gary Shandling. The Gary Shandling 297 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: Show was brilliant Larry Sanders, but Gary Shandling did the 298 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: Larry Sanders Show, so it was about him and in 299 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: him in real life. The way it was done Larry 300 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: Sanders Show is just spectacular because you have these guests 301 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 1: that are on, and I remember Jim Carrey was on 302 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,920 Speaker 1: and Jim Carrey they went to commercial break and Jim 303 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 1: Carey had a problem with Larry Sanders and he starts 304 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: and yelling at him, and you know, so they're during 305 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: during the commercial break, so you don't see it, and 306 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: then they come back and they're like, hey, here with 307 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: Jim Carrey in his new movie, and Jim, great to 308 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: see you.

And the producers are running around 328 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: with clipboards we need sausages. You don't think that would 329 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 1: be And then we had to find somebody who had 330 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: small hands. You know, when when people came into audition 331 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: for you know, the role that Marvin is in, the 332 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:31,919 Speaker 1: first thing I'd say is how big your hands? And 333 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: they'd go, oh, you know, they're nine, they're nine and 334 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: a half. And then Marv came in, and Marv came 335 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: in big shoes to fill with small hands. Yes, smart, 336 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you to Yes, that's a really good episode, 337 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 1: Like what do we do? I walk in six thirty 338 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: in the morning and Ray goes and we're gonna measure 339 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: everybody's hands. Yeah, that's a really good way to see. 340 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: You know what, Blame Kenny Pickett. If Kenny Pickett had 341 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: bigger hands, we would never know that you have some 342 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 1: of the smallest hands of any man in America. Relax. 343 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: But yes, man, Yeah that's true. But me and Kenny 344 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: pick I'm with him. I'm rooting for him. I'm the 345 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 1: biggest Kenny Pickett fan all day. Small hands unite. Yeah, yeah, Seton, 346 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: did you have something you wanted to add here? I 347 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: don't know if I did. It's long ago. Okay, that's man, 348 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: might be good. All right, more phone calls coming up. 349 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: Chris Mannix set to join us. Mannix a senior writer 350 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: for Sports Illustrated, and he was there covering the Eastern Conference. 351 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: Fine on our Eastern Conference semis as the Boston Celtics 352 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: pick up the win over the Milwaukee Bucks. Mannix joins 353 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: us on the program. Felt like that this was a 354 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: hall pass year for Jannis. You win the title, your MVP, 355 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 1: you don't have Chris Middleton, but you get the feeling 356 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: Milwaukee is gonna be back in this position next year, 357 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: don't you. Yeah? I agree. You know, when a team 358 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: goes out, you start to do these post mortems on them, 359 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: and in those moments, you're often looking at worst case scenarios. 360 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, well they lost in the second round, 361 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: what's the significant change that needs to be made to 362 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: get them to a championship level. Even with Phoenix, you 363 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: know they're still good themselves, but you start talking about 364 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: Chris Paul being thirty seven and looking like a thirty 365 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: seven year old over the last week or so, DeAndre 366 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 1: Aden's contract, the expensiveness of that team. Will Robert Saber 367 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: pay the luxury tax? With Milwaukee, it really is just 368 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: kind of get Chris Middleton back in the mix and 369 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: make a few changes around the periphery. Now, look, I 370 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: think the Dante di Vincenzo trade really hurt that team 371 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: in this series. They could have used Devincenzo. I understand 372 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: why they made the deal. A few months ago. They 373 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: made the deal to get Surgebaka because they didn't know 374 00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: the health status of Brook Lopez at that time, so 375 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 1: you had to have an insurance policy in the middle 376 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: for the playoffs in Ibaka nominally had enough playoff experience 377 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: to get you there. But as I watch Game seven 378 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 1: and I'm watching Grayson Allen Struggle, Wesley Matthews struggle. Those 379 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,400 Speaker 1: two guys won for eleven in Game seven. I'm thinking 380 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: Dante Divincenza would have been pretty valuable in one of 381 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: those roles. So you need someone like that and said 382 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: some help on that bench if you're Milwaukee. But you 383 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: plug Chris Middleton back onto that team and you start 384 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: next year as one of the top five favorites to 385 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,719 Speaker 1: win the NBA championship. So it's not you know, it's not. 386 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: You obviously need need some things to go right to 387 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,479 Speaker 1: win titles. But this Bucks team, if they bring this 388 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: group back hole, you can make an argument there right 389 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: there at the top of the NBA, are the Sons frauds? No? 390 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you start to get some like, 391 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, during this series, the way they were mocking 392 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: Luca at times, I mean, like, I don't know why 393 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: you want to poke that bear in the way they 394 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: did it kind of reminded me of how condescending the 395 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: Miami Heat were in two thou eleven towards Durk Navitski. 396 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: Remember that with like the fake cough and all the stuff, 397 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: Like there was a level of arrogance to that Miami 398 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 1: team in the NBA Finals that cut up to them. 399 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: I mean, the Mavericks were not as superstar laden as 400 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: Miami was at that time, but they were the better 401 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,239 Speaker 1: team and they came out and showed it. And like 402 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: early in the series, there were some pot shots taken 403 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: at Luca, a little bit later in the series, you're 404 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: talking about the Luca Special and how he's flopping and 405 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: falling down things like that. I just it felt a 406 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: little over the top, especially for a team that hadn't 407 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: won anything, that had gotten to the finals last year 408 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: and lost to the Bucks in six games. So yeah, 409 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: there's that part of it. But frauds no. I just 410 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 1: as I wrapped this series up, Dan, I go into 411 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: the office season wondering what Chris Paul has left in 412 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: the tank at this point. I mean games one and two, 413 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: look at the numbers. Games one and two, he was excellent, 414 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: like twenty four points per game something like that. You 415 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: go to game three, which not coincidentally is when he 416 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: turned thirty seven years old, and from Game three on 417 00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 1: he was bad. He was averaging think under ten points 418 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: per game in that stretch. In the last two games 419 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: he was awful. So it's almost like, you know, he 420 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: turns thirty seven. He got old, like literally overnight in 421 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: that game. So I go in to next season wondering 422 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: did we see did we just see kind of a 423 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 1: change in Chris Paul? Is he going to be able 424 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: to be the player he was during this season or 425 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,560 Speaker 1: do we now have to accept that Chris Paul is, 426 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: while still a high level guy, maybe going to be 427 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: something of a diminished version of his former self moving forward. Yeah, 428 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: he turns thirty seven, Luca just turned twenty three in February, 429 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: Like he's doing things you're supposed he's not. He's not, 430 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: But I don't don't you speaking of like vibes off 431 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 1: off teams, Like yeah, look, the Mavericks are good, the 432 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,400 Speaker 1: Spencer didn't Wine trade was great for them, Jalen Brunson 433 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 1: is excellent. But don't you get kind of some like 434 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 1: O six Cavaliers, you know seven with the team that 435 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Lebron kind of strapped to his back and took to 436 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: the finals that year. That team had some good players 437 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: like Larry Hughes was good, Eric Snow was good, but 438 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: there was no there was no stars on that team. Like, 439 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: don't you get a little bit of that this Dallas team, 440 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 1: like you know, they're good players, and those players showed 441 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: up in Game seven. You know, Phoenix's role players did nothing, 442 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: Dallas's role players did everything. But you know, Luca outscored 443 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 1: the Suns in the first half of that game by himself. 444 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: Like how often do you see that? I mean this, 445 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 1: this to me feels a lot like that Lebron year 446 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 1: where he just took the Cavs into the finals with 447 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that were good but nowhere near 448 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: you know, championship level. Talk got a Chris Mannix Sports 449 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: Illustrated senior writer. If you were going to describe Luca 450 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: to somebody who had seen him, what words would you use? 451 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: Larry Bird but a better ball handler, and he makes 452 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 1: the kind of shots that Bird made, you know, and 453 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: I grew up watching Larry turnarounds, fadeaways, effortless three pointers. 454 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: He can just do more with the ball, I think 455 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: than Larry Bird could have done in his best days. 456 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's pretty much. It's He's Bird with 457 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: better ball handling skills. I couldn't help but think of 458 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: the Boston Celtics, and so I'm watching them demolish the 459 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: Bucks that Brad Stevens decided not to coach and went 460 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 1: into the front office. Like when you think that, I mean, 461 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: that's shocking because it wasn't like he was old. I 462 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 1: don't think health was playing an issue. He went into 463 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: the front office. It was one of those oh, by 464 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: the way moves where you look back, Gill, that's right. 465 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: He used to coach this team. This team would not 466 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: be in this position if Brad Stevens was still the 467 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 1: head coach. And I say that as a person who 468 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 1: back when Brad Stevens decided to step down and then 469 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: step up into the front office, I was pretty critical 470 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: of it. I didn't think that Brad Stevens was the 471 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: right fit for a front office role. I thought, in 472 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: a way, he was taking the easy way out. You know, 473 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: he had been worn down over the previous couple of years, 474 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: whether it was the Kyrie season, which took a lot 475 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: out of him, or the Bubble season, which took a 476 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: lot out of everybody. I thought at the time, you know, 477 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 1: he was looking for something of a cushier gig in 478 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: that front office. But Brad Stevens recognized at that moment, 479 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: the Celtics recognized at that moment as good a coach 480 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: as Brad Stevens is and he still is an excellent coach. 481 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: He had run his course with that group. His coaching 482 00:28:56,840 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 1: was no longer resonating with that group, and they needed 483 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: a coach who was effectively the anti Brad Stevens. That's 484 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: what Emaiyodoka is. He as smart as both of these 485 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: men are. His coaching style could not be more different 486 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: than Brad Stevens from a philosophical standpoint, where he came 487 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 1: in and brought this switching defense to this team that 488 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: they hadn't played in years past, which helped propel them 489 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: to the top of the NBA in defensive rating. Two 490 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: More importantly, a stirder voice, someone that was willing to 491 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: give this team a public whipping after bad losses in 492 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: the first part of the season. Emayodoca one of the 493 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: big reasons he was number two on my Coach of 494 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 1: the Year ballot was because people looked at the first 495 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: two months of the season as being bad. I looked 496 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: at them as being great coaching. Emayodoca spent those first 497 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: two months breaking the Celtics of so many bad habits 498 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: they had atrophied over the last year or so under 499 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,440 Speaker 1: Brad Stevens. Emayodoka had to break them of that habits 500 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: to get them in the position in January where they 501 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,760 Speaker 1: started to turn things around and the second half of 502 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: the season where they were a top three team in 503 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: the entire NBA. So as much as I like Brad 504 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 1: Stevens as a coach and I believe he will be 505 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: a coach again someday and he will be highly successful 506 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: as a coach someday, this team needed the voice and 507 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,280 Speaker 1: the coaching of Emayodoka to get to where they are 508 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 1: right now. The Lakers still need a coach. What are 509 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: they waiting for? Are you available? No? I told him, 510 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: I'm not. You're not. No, I'm not. Who are they 511 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: waiting for? I don't know if they're waiting for one 512 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: specific person. I don't know the answer to that. I 513 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 1: do know they are not. From talking to coaching agents, 514 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: they are not operating with any sense of urgency. They 515 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 1: don't seem to believe that they need to hire someone 516 00:30:56,280 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: in the next couple of days, couple of weeks. There's 517 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: no real timetable from what I've been able to gather 518 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 1: about who when the Lakers want to hire a coach? 519 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: And I got to give him credit Chris for their 520 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: consistency because they didn't play with any urgency last year 521 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: during the season, So why have urgency trying to find 522 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: a head coach. Well, you'd think too, like you know 523 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: the Lakers, Like we know the Lakers draft situation. It's 524 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 1: it's not great, but you're going into the NBA Draft 525 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: combine this week in Chicago. I mean theoretically want to 526 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: have your head coach in place at that point to 527 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: start thinking about kind of what you want to do 528 00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: with that roster. I don't know yet what the future 529 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: of Quinn Snyder is. There seems to be. I mean, 530 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: he hasn't been fired, so he's still there. Doc Rivers 531 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: is going to be back. Perhaps the Lakers will waiting 532 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: to see how that shook out in Philadelphia, but Daryl 533 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: Morey this week said Doc Rivers would be back as 534 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: head coach. Maybe they're waiting to see some of the 535 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: how some of these dominoes fall with some of the 536 00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 1: more experienced coaches before they they make their pick. But 537 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: all I can tell you, Dan is that buck Well, 538 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:06,960 Speaker 1: our coach that are interviewing with the Lakers are not 539 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: gaining this sense there's any urgency to fill that position. 540 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you again, Chris, Thanks for joining us. 541 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 1: You got it, Dan, Chris Mannox, senior writer for Sports Illustrator, 542 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 1: Take a break.

You're like, wow, there's no like Rampa. 566 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: Something happened in between there. It felt like by the way, 567 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: I love the sound of the drums that led Zeppelin song. 568 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: But I guess the story has it that they set 569 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:08,000 Speaker 1: up John Bonham's drum kit into it in a stairwell 570 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 1: and they wanted to have that sound. I don't know 571 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 1: who came up with the idea there, probably Jimmy Page, 572 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: but they thought, let's set up the drums in this 573 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: old house and see how it sounds. And I mean, 574 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: Bonham has such a distinct sound with his drumming. I 575 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: remember when I said at Howard Stern's birthday party when 576 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: he turned sixty, and I'm backstage and I have to 577 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 1: introduce Dave Grohl, and I said, you know, when I 578 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 1: hear you play drums, I hear John Bonham at times 579 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,680 Speaker 1: and he rolls up his sleeve and he's got Zeppelin 580 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:52,799 Speaker 1: four tattoo on his forearm and he said, yeah, John Bonham. Yeah. 581 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,680 Speaker 1: That was also one of those weird things where you 582 00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: see Slash over here playing guitar and he's talking to 583 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: Dave Grohl, and I'm like, I'm not talking to anybody. 584 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: Nobody cares that I'm in there. They don't know who 585 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 1: I am. It's a small room. And then you're just going, uh, hey, hey, hey, 586 00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:22,280 Speaker 1: hey hey Slash. I look guns and roses. I'm thinking 587 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: this is pathetic, really love sweet child of mine. Yeah 588 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 1: that cool?

And I was like, oh boy, let me 593 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 1: just get off this stage. And I didn't want to 594 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: do it. PAULI goes, no, you gotta do it, Howard Stern, 595 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: I go, I don't want to do it. I'd rather 596 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,919 Speaker 1: watch it.

I think I had four albums in 604 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: one of the four Cosmos Factories.

Luca makes a shot. 654 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: I think it's his second shot that he makes. He 655 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: makes it from the corner. And there's certain shots when 656 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:31,720 Speaker 1: you make them and the sound that the net makes 657 00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: it can be crippling to the defender because you're like, oh, 658 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,520 Speaker 1: you know that guy banked one in, or that one 659 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 1: sort of went in. It went in with a zip 660 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: like zip. I went old, Phoenix is in trouble, like 661 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: when you make a shot like that and it gives 662 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 1: you that zing. And then he turns and he starts 663 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 1: talking to the fans in the front row, and I go, oh, boy, 664 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna be a long night. I think marve best and 665 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,000 Speaker 1: Worst of the weekend, Best of the weekend, six four 666 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: power forwards of coming back Grant Williams leading the Celtics 667 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: and scoring shot attempts. Did not see that coming on 668 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: my bingal board. Worst two blowouts in game sevens for 669 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: the NBA just not what I was expecting. No, I 670 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: didn't expect that either. And if you said there's gonna 671 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 1: be a blowout, I would have thought that it would 672 00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,040 Speaker 1: have been Phoenix over Dallas Pauli Best and Worst of 673 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,560 Speaker 1: the week FA Cup Final Chelsea versus Liverpool. Now it 674 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,439 Speaker 1: was nil nil, as they say Dan throughout the match, 675 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,400 Speaker 1: but then the extra time and the PK salvage it 676 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,879 Speaker 1: for Liverpool, and then I would say, I think I'm 677 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 1: enjoying the Cincinnati Reds because they're not bad or like 678 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,120 Speaker 1: not playing well. They're colossily bad, even though they won 679 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 1: six of ten. Yeah, it's almost entertaining to be able 680 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: to throw a team no hitter and lose. They're adding 681 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: history to their run. By the way, I have odds 682 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,640 Speaker 1: on the Reds making the playoffs. Guys want to take 683 00:40:54,640 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: a guess. Cincinnati odds to make the playoffs minus twenty thousand. 684 00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 1: It feels like long aunts there. That's not good. No, 685 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: it's not, No, it's not. But Hunter Green has a 686 00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 1: good chance of maybe winning a Rookie of the Year honors. There. 687 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: Update the pole results from our two seaton, if you could. 688 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: I think we have a new poll, if I'm not mistaken. 689 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: Two oh, there might be a new suggestion for our 690 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: three or an hour three pole question. Okay, yes, right now, 691 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: but pretty much everybody and their brother is blaming Chris 692 00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 1: Paul and the sons from loss. That was a tough one. Okay, yes, 693 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,919 Speaker 1: it was more phone calls coming up. By the way, 694 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,279 Speaker 1: Gabriello Sabbatini's birthday today, What a run she had. Oh 695 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:47,839 Speaker 1: my goodness, you're a big fan. Yes, so I was, Yeah, 696 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: I was out of our tennis. No, she's fifty two. 697 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 1: I'll bet she might be the female version of Keanu Reeves. 698 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 1: Where you go, I'll bet she looks like she's thirty five, Paulie. 699 00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,439 Speaker 1: We'll check check on on that. Megan Fox thirty six, 700 00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,439 Speaker 1: who looks younger, Gabriella Sabbatini at fifty two or Megan 701 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 1: Fox at thirty six.
