Speaker 3: every show. I'm joined by Rachel Nichols. We have a

14
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:43,320

15
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh.

16
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic thriller, Texas taking down NC State in

Speaker 3: the final second in the NCAA Tournament. Obviously, Lakers Rockets

18
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: part due tonight, Rachel.

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: Last night was a big sports night and that doesn't need.

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 3: Dude, the Great Fox is winning a thirty five men's

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 3: league championship. But I know the World Baseball Classic You've got.

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 4: Red on today?

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, USA, we didn't quite get there.

24
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 5: I mean, it's last night, bats Man like what we

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 5: You and I talked yesterday, and we talked to all

26
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 5: the experts this week, and we expected the pitching to

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 5: maybe come into play, and why won't these major league teams.

28
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 4: It's the championship, let them pitch.

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 5: Guess what pitching was?

30
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 6: Fine?

31
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, hit a ball, and so you know, I wonder,

32
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 5: I just sort of wonder if any of that'll influence

33
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 5: the makeup of the team three years from now, or

34
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 5: if it's just unlucky.

35
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 4: That's a good thought.

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: Let's start there. Let's start with the bats. They fell

37
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 3: asleep last night.

38
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 4: For the Americans.

39
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 3: We lose three to two to Venezuela, a thrilling comeback

40
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 3: thanks to Bryce Harper. We've got some amazing highlights, and folks,

41
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic was really about the vibes and

42
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: the energy and you could just tell Miami was jumping.

43
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: I mean, the party was crazy last night. Venezuela takes

44
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: us down with an impressive ninth inning, and as Rachel noted,

45
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: our bats just were not there. I mean, we end

46
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: the World Baseball Classic for forty eight.

47
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 4: They just went to sleep. We could not do anything.

48
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: And listen, the new modern analytics in baseball call for hey,

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 3: swing for the fences, strikeouts their home runs, and that's

50
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: fine in one hundred and sixty two game season, in

51
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 3: a seven game series, it's probably okay.

52
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: But in a one game setting, we just didn't deliver.

53
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 4: So let's start.

54
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: The first highlight we have is Venezuela going up to

55
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 3: nothing a bray You with a deep solo shot and

56
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: at this point the Americans are like on the ropes,

57
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: watched by the way as a Braier rounds the basis,

58
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: the entire dugout comes out to celebrate.

59
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: That was kind of the vibe at the World Baseball Classic.

60
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 7: We thought the offenses would establish themselves. Here's a drive

61
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 7: to center field off with the bat of a.

62
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 8: Bray You will you're a BRAI.

63
00:02:41,480 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 3: You usually don't see guys burn around the bases.

64
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: I bray You was so geeked. The helmet comes off.

65
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: He's just booking it to celebrate. And at this point

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: you're thinking, oh my gosh, we're in trouble. Holy cal

67
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: we got a zero on the board. We've got the

68
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: best of the best bats in American Major League baseball.

69
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: We got nothing.

70
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: And then Bryce Harper, who had been struggling throughout the

71
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic steps up in the eighth and delivers

72
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 3: this classic the.

73
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 7: Shadows one o pitch, Harper sends a flyball that deep center.

74
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: Failed better light than ever. Bryce Harper BUSTI that championship.

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 8: The saloon.

76
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 7: As Bryce Harper can acts changes everything.

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 4: I mean, folks, it's twelve hours later.

78
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 3: I still get goosebumps watching that and listening to it.

79
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 4: And come back. Now at that point, you're thinking, Okay,

80
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 4: we got this.

81
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: This is what we do. Okay, we own baseball. That's

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 3: our sport, America's pastime. And just like we saw in hockey,

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 3: the Americans came back to take down Canada. And just

84
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: like we saw with Steph Curry and the Olympic team,

85
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 3: we rallied in the semifinals, we rallied in the final.

86
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 4: We got this right. It was not meant to be.

87
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: And ultimately the US which led the World Baseball Classic

88
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 3: and strikeouts at the plate, the hitters just couldn't deliver.

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 4: They watched Venezuela.

90
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: You know, sacrifice, fly, get on base, you do the

91
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: little things that you've got to to pull away.

92
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: And here's the call for the three two victory. Joe

93
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: Davis on the mic, the besta.

94
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 7: For a team that was carrying a country a World

95
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 7: Baseball Classic title.

96
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 3: Great stuff from Joe Davison, carrying a country. We're not

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: going to get into the political ramifications of what went

98
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: down in January and Venezuela, but obviously a lot going

99
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: on there and you could just tell the passion and

100
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 3: the excitement. And then afterwards Suarez talked to Ken Rosenthal

101
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: and folks, this is like an interview for the ages.

102
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 4: Look at the passion.

103
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 3: Okay, look this looks like the greatest moment of his life.

104
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 4: This is an incredible interview. Can we described with the

105
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 4: spans for your country?

106
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 7: I mean, what can I say about this?

107
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 4: He's amazing and nobody believe in Venezuela, but now we winned.

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 2: The championship to it.

109
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: And me, it's the celebriation for all the Venezuelan country.

110
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 7: We're not just teammate.

111
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 8: We are family.

112
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 4: This this damn is awesome. We are family here.

113
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 2: That's why we plan, We passion, we.

114
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 7: Love because we feel that that.

115
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 2: Jersey, we feel our country and in prown house, that's

116
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: why this.

117
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 4: Is allowed for us.

118
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: As the players, as a people, as a human beings,

119
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: and as a Zezuela.

120
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: Now we are the time, so naturally, you know, we

121
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 3: lose three to two. We lost to Japan. Remember the

122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: last time Trout struck out in the ninth I believe

123
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: against Otani, And it's like, geez, how do we lose

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: this in twenty three and twenty six?

125
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 4: What do we do to win it next time?

126
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: And there's all this talk, well, is there a way

127
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: you can move it to the All Star break when

128
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 3: players are in full season, And it's like, well, there's

129
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 3: probably gonna be issues there with arms. Are there injuries

130
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: mid season? Maybe that doesn't work. Well, can you push

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 3: it earlier than March? Maybe the right after the Super

132
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: Bowl in February? Is that possible? And then it's like, well,

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: people aren't warmed up, they're coming off the all season.

134
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 3: So ultimately, like World Baseball Classic has been tremendous. Obviously,

135
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: you know we would love a better result than losing

136
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: in the final the last two times has happened, but

137
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, ultimately it just an outstanding event World Baseball Classic.

138
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 3: We don't win it, but we were there at the

139
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 3: end and it was great for baseball.

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 4: Spring training continues and Opening Day is around the corner.

141
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 3: All right, let's pivot to the NFL and the failed

142
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: Max Crosby trade to the Baltimore Ravens.

143
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 4: Now, I love this.

144
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: I read a story the one magazine I subscribe to

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: is The New Yorker, just a tremendous journalism, excellent stuff,

146
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: and they had an article about conspiracy theories and how

147
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 3: they kind of bubble up and usually in the absence

148
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 3: of information and facts, you just get conspiracy theories. What

149
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: happened and with this Max Crosby trade, right, he goes

150
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 3: from the Raiders to the Ravens for two first round picks.

151
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 3: It happened on a Friday, okay, and all weekend the

152
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: Ravens were getting crushed.

153
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: Why are we doing this?

154
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: We as a franchise have never traded a pick for

155
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: a player before. We're doing this now we just fired

156
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 3: our coach, Lamar Jackson wants.

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: A new contract.

158
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: We didn't even make the playoffs. What's going on? And

159
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: there was a lot of outcry about what the Ravens did.

160
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: Their fans were not thrilled. As you see the other

161
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: edge rushers come off the market and it's like, wow,

162
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: we overpaid. And so Max Crosby on Monday flies out

163
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: to the Ravens. By Tuesday, there's an awkward meeting. The

164
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: GM's not there.

165
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: To see him.

166
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: The head coach, Jesse Minter. Hello, by the way, Welcome

167
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: to the NFL. Jesse Minter, defensive coordinator, all your life,

168
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: first job as a head coach. Go tell Max Crosby

169
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 3: we saw some stuff on the MRI.

170
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 4: We're concerned. Huh.

171
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: Max Crosby starts panicking and next thing you know, hey,

172
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 3: they're backing out of the deal and it's just this

173
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 3: whirlwind like ninety six hours. You know, if they still

174
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 3: do those thirty for thirty things, I would love one

175
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,119
Speaker 3: on the Max Crosby trade that happened and then was recanted,

176
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 3: because if you listen to Max on his podcast, man,

177
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 3: he sounds he's gone through all the emotions. Take a

178
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: listen Max Crosby on his podcast talking about the trade

179
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 3: that did not happen.

180
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 9: I'm so excited, like fired up, you know what I mean,

181
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 9: Like this is new opportunity whatever. And you could just

182
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 9: tell the energy was off, like I drapped him up.

183
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 9: He had like a blank face, and I'm like, okay.

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 9: GM was standing in like the hall, like in the

185
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,599
Speaker 9: room next to me to the right and that was

186
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 9: the first time I seen him, the first all in

187
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 9: my head, like I was terrified. So it just kind

188
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 9: of hit me. I'm like, what is there something wrong?

189
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 9: Like I'm freaking out, like low key deep down. I'm like,

190
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 9: I can't get another surgery. I'm like frozen. I'm like,

191
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 9: what the I'm livid, confused, the whole nine all in one.

192
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 9: And so I I told him, I'm like, I'm trying

193
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 9: to get out of here. Bro I wasn't supposed to

194
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 9: be in Baltimore. And that's it, you know what I mean.

195
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 9: I'm meant to be a Raider. It's through my damn core.

196
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: There's a lot there. Max Crosby interesting individual for sure. Obviously,

197
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: you know you wish him the best, and he went

198
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: through a lot there, folks. That's a tough one. You

199
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: asked to get traded publicly, You go on podcasts and

200
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 3: talk about wanting to be out, and then the Raiders

201
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: do their best to ship you.

202
00:09:58,600 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: You get traded, and.

203
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 3: Then New Place is like, we don't know anymore about

204
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: the deal. We're gonna send you back, and maybe he's right.

205
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 3: You know, it sounds very California to say, hey, I

206
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: wasn't that wasn't meant to be. This is where I'm

207
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: meant to be. I do kind of like that Max

208
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 3: shout out for that one. But I will say there

209
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: are some some interesting things here. So for starters, According

210
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 3: to basically every story I've read, Max Crosby played last

211
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 3: season with that meniscus injury.

212
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: And he was tremendous.

213
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: He was outstanding all season, essentially grating out as one

214
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: of the ten best edge rushers in the league by

215
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 3: some metrics, top five.

216
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 4: Some top three.

217
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 3: And that's with the meniscus. Okay, so he was still elite.

218
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: But now all of a sudden, the Ravens are nervous.

219
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 3: Oh well, I don't know about the future with this injury.

220
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: It's just not everything's adding up. So then you start wondering,

221
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: what if there's something else is up, something else is

222
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: afoot perhaps with the Ravens. Are they concerned about Lamar Jackson?

223
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: Are those negotiations not going well?

224
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: Now?

225
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 4: I know Ravens fans are like, so, oh, look, we

226
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 4: re strut so we can make moves.

227
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,599
Speaker 3: But the restructure wasn't enough to keep their center. Tyler Linderbaum,

228
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 3: who goes to the Raiders by the way, interesting you

229
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 3: almost wonder if I don't know, are things not going

230
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: well with the Lamar Jackson new contract that he demanded.

231
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 3: Remember about a month before John Harball was fired, a

232
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 3: big article came out of one of the Baltimore newspapers

233
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 3: about how Lamar Jackson and John Harball were not really vibing.

234
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: Things were not going well. And then you start to wonder, well, huh,

235
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: is Lamar the reason John Harball's not there anymore?

236
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: And you just got all this change breaking character and

237
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 3: tendency to trade two picks for a player, and then

238
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: watching Trey Hendrickson's value come down and say, well, if

239
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: we just dump Max Crosby and send him back, we

240
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: could get Trey Hendrickson cheaper and keep our picks. And

241
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: there seems to be a lot going on in Baltimore.

242
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: I will just say overall, now that this ordeal is done,

243
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: I get the sense that this is going to work

244
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: out great for the Raiders. You guys know how those

245
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 3: narratives work. It's like, oh, the sky is following Raiders tank.

246
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: They get Mendoza, They're terrible.

247
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 4: I don't know.

248
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 3: They got a center, a veteran center for their young quarterback.

249
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: They've got they do have some good picks in this draft.

250
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 3: They went and spent in free agency, and ultimately I

251
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 3: think they spent their money pretty wisely.

252
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: I mean, is it too hot.

253
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: Of a take to say the Raiders are bigger contenders

254
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: for a playoff spot next year than the Baltimore Ravens are.

255
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 3: I don't know if the Ravens are going to be better, folks.

256
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: I don't think Hendrick to make them better. Losing your

257
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 3: your great center does not make you better. They haven't

258
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 3: improved the wide receiver room. And then there's a low

259
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: rookie head coach in Minter And oh, by the way,

260
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 3: did Lamar get that contract yet? So a lot happening

261
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: in Baltimore. And Max Crosby thank you for podcasting. I

262
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: honestly think, you know, I know people love Kelsey's podcast.

263
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: I think Max Crosby's saying more and I think he's

264
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,320
Speaker 3: gonna spur more athletes to come out and talk on

265
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: podcasts about their experiences.

266
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 4: I thought it was great, great input. So we have

267
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 4: a great show coming up next.

268
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 3: An NBA insider believes that NBA players should want to

269
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: play with a superstar center.

270
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 4: I say, I don't know about that.

271
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: I think there's a wing in Los Angeles I'd rather

272
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: play with.

273
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,000

00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: we had Texas winning the first big game in the

293
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament.

294
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,560

Speaker 3: Miles Simon. If you love the NCAA tournament like I do,

300
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: you know Miles Simon is a absolute legend. I mean,

301
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: Jim Nants was one of the great calls. Simon says, Championship.

302
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, that was classic. I could see

303
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 3: it in my head right now.

304
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: I just tease you guys.

305
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: That was the first tournament where I want a bracket

306
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 3: contest because I love that Arizona team with the guard play.

307
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: And at my first my biggest bet was that Arizona

308
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: beating Kansas in the sweet sixteen. It was I remember

309
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 3: where exactly I was in college when that happened.

310
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: Just I have.

311
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 3: Such a memory for the NCAA tournament. So I'm gonna

312
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 3: geek out here and give you my top five players

313
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 3: in the NCAA tournament. This is difficult, obviously, sixty eight

314
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: teams and you have a ton of great players, and

315
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 3: there's probably gonna be some eye rolling.

316
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,560

342
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,040

343
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: like that is not hyperbole. And oh, by the way,

344

551
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,480

574
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 6: to be a hard out in the. Tournament they're So

575
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 6: they're so good, Defensively they're very athletic at all their

576
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 6: positions and and just tough to.

577
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: Defend, yeah they Made yukon look pretty mortal in The

578
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 3: Big East. TOURNAMENT i mean that was a was a

579
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: twenty point. Game basically you see some of the highlights

580
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: on the, screen they looked. INCREDIBLE i just the shooting,

581
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 3: Ability LIKE i think they're really low in twos and.

582
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 3: Three they just aren't a great field goal shooting. Team but,

583
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: again they had like four transfer, STARTERS i.

584
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 8: Believe.

585
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 6: YEAH i think, defensively like if they get to that

586
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 6: matchup Against, duke they're GONNA i think they're gonna Cause

587
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 6: duke a lot of, problems especially With Caleb Foster Kla

588
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 6: foster being. Out AND i Know duke played very well

589
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,399

591
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,600

592
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 4: Team how much does peaking at the end of the season.

593
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840

594
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: your first game in the conference, tournament you never win the.

595
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,840

Speaker 9: It.

602
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 6: Okay so the year we won the title in nineteen ninety, seven,

00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 6: okay we ended up finishing fifth in THE pac. Twelve

604
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 6: now there's a little kind of like caveats OR pac

605
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 6: ten at the, time there's a little caveat to. That

606
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 6: so like going into the last weekend of league, play

607
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,480

610
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,560

Speaker 3: MAN i think they could have four guys drafted in

630
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 3: the first. Round there's a lot of, talent but then

631
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 3: there's questions about, Well Tommy lloyd in THE Ncaa. Tournament you,

632
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 3: Know i'm not going to bash the, guy but he

633
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 3: hasn't exactly.

634
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 4: Delivered Maybe i'm being politically. CORRECT i don't.

635
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 3: Know is the biggest concern For arizona the lack of

636
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 3: three point?

637
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 4: Shooting they just don't shoot? Them or is it maybe

638
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: they're head coach that's a question.

639
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 6: Mark. YEAH i don't think the three point shootings are

640
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 6: concerned because they've been dominant without. It they have like

641
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 6: the most quad one. Wins they've beaten all the best

642
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 6: teams basically that they've played on their. SCHEDULE i think

643
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 6: the biggest concern is just maybe like that they feel

644
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 6: some pressure that they have to get to The final

645
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 6: four because there's No arizona team that's been there since

646
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 6: two thousand and one this.

647
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 8: Team but this team is like ready for.

648
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 6: Anything and What i've loved about this team is that

649
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 6: they can win in different style of. Fights so like

650
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 6: they when they play The Houston cougars and they were

651
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 6: down a couple bodies At, houston like they can grind

652
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 6: it out and beat a really good defensive. Team or

653
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 6: you Play Iowa state in that great semi final game

654
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 6: in The Big twelve in The Big twelve, tournament and

655
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 6: you play this high scoring game where you're like matching

656
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 6: shot for shot and there you see The Jaden bradley

657
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 6: shot to end it right. There, like they can win

658
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 6: different styles of. Fight they're, big they're, physical they really.

659
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 6: Defend they have a closer In Jayden, bradley WHICH i

660
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 6: think you need in THE ncaa. Tournament he's hit big

661
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 6: shots all season long AGAINST, Ucla yukon and then obviously

662
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 6: the biggest one Against Iowa.

663
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 8: State.

664
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,480

00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 6: kind of hit it on the, head like it's not

717
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 6: just the scoring for. Him he's he is so. Versatile,

718
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 6: okay he is an elite. Passer you see in THE

719
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 6: acc tournament they're playing him at the point. Guard he's

720
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: bringing it, Up he's initiating the.

721
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 8: Offense. Okay then when you need a, bucket you can

722
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 8: go to him in.

723
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 6: The, post just like you could with his, dad, right

724
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 6: because he's six' ten and if you want a double

725
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 6: team in, the post he's going to find the open

726
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 6: shooters like on the on the weak side of. The

727
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 6: floor and then he's a guy that just brings his

728
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 6: hard hat every. Single night he's such. A competitor he's

729
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,479
Speaker 6: always been, a winner whether it was in high school

730
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 6: Or THE Nike euibl him and his BROTHER Are.

731
00:32:59,160 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 8: Usa.

732
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 6: BASKETBALL like i love guys who, just, win, win win

733
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 6: like over and. Over again that's what this. Guy DOES

734
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 6: and i think IN, THE nba i think HE'S gonna

735
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 6: i think he's going to BE An Nba all STAR

736
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 6: because i think the things that he's going to really.

737
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 6: Improve on he's going to be like a versatile like

738
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 6: fore man who's going to be able to handle. The,

739
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 6: ball okay even probably run like some inverted pick. AND

740
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,040
Speaker 6: roll i think he's become a better three point shooter

741
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 6: once he gets TO the nba and really stretch out.

742
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 6: The floor and then when you have his like competitive

743
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 6: drive and then the like the way he plays every,

744
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 6: single night like that's a guy and that's the guy

745
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 6: you want on.

746
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 8: Your team and like to be the face of.

747
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: Your, organization right one more college question before A pro

748
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,440
Speaker 3: You know i'm. WORKSHOPPING this i don't want the number

749
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 3: one pick in the draft because there's so many good

750
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 3: players and inevitably living up to that number one pick

751
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 3: is going to be difficult when there's like six or

752
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 3: seven guys who could go. NUMBER one i overall Think

753
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: aj debonsa Is As. Pass Peterson but i'm curious what

754
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: you Think. Of debonsa and you know you were around

755
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 3: for The any manning In the. MIRACLES run I think

756
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 3: I think debonsa can really do some Things in march

757
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 3: overall critique is game.

758
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 6: For, me well first, of all there's not six or

759
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 6: seven guys that can go. Number one And and i'll

760
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,439
Speaker 6: just Tell, you debonsa he's.

761
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 8: The guy. He's not he's.

762
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 6: Number one he has separated himself from the re from

763
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 6: the rest of. That group And so i've called about

764
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 6: four or five of. HIS games i was At the big.

765
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 6: Twelve tournament this guy is the he is the real

766
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 6: deal in. All, aspects okay we see the stuff like on,

767
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 6: the floor.

768
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 8: He's he's he's six. Y nine he's.

769
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 6: Taken over the point guard Role Like rob wright is

770
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,280
Speaker 6: like kind of announced as the. Point Guard but debonsa

771
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 6: is the guy that has the ball in, his hands

772
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 6: making all the decisions, for this FOR this. Byu team

773
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 6: he's seen, double teams he's seen. Triple teams he's seen

774
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 6: it in, the post he sees it on pick, and

775
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 6: rolls and that's and he's handled handled it all. Like,

776
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 6: exceptionally okay to still lead the country, in, scoring right

777
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 6: and the ceiling FOR this byu team when you look at,

778
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 6: The bracket i'm, WITH you i think they can make

779
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 6: a little bit of a run and now a big

780
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 6: part of it, is him but also a big Part,

781
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 6: of okay they're going To play texas and then you

782
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 6: maybe Look at gonzaga for the next for the. Next

783
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 6: game but their defense has. Gotten, Better okay so Like

784
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 6: Coach kevin young has done a good Job when saunders,

785
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,360
Speaker 6: went Out and sounder's no defensive whiz by, any means

786
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 6: but he, but he but he's had. To adjust he's

787
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 6: playing some smaller lineups where they where they switch one.

788
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 6: Through five He's Playing, dominique diamande who's kind of been

789
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 6: like a beast, on defense, getting steels. Agitating guys he's

790
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 6: like a six to six athletic wing and the team

791
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 6: has kind of bought. Into that and, so defensively that

792
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 6: was always my concern. With them if they can guard,

793
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 6: well enough this team can score and you put the

794
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 6: ball In de bonsa's hands a majority of, the time

795
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 6: good things are going, to happen and he could have

796
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 6: a magical run through the, first weekend and then when

797
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 6: you get to that, second weekend when you have the

798
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 6: best player on the floor of great things.

799
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 8: Can happen.

800
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 4: Totally agree, all right let's wrap up with a question About.

801
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 4: THE lakers. A team, you, know well they're starting.

802
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: To jail big game Against, the rockets there was a lot, Of,

803
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: QUESTIONS oh i don't Know, If luca Lebron and reeves can,

804
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 3: play together and it didn't look great for. A Moment

805
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 3: jj reddick seems to have pushed all the. Right, buttons

806
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: miles they're on fire. Right, now again you know, The,

807
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: team well you can talk about how, you Do but

808
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 3: i'm just curious your Thoughts, On, Luca reeves lebron. And.

809
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 6: Everything yeah the Things that i'm seeing From the lakers

810
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 6: is number one is that they're they're bought in on

811
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,839
Speaker 6: both ends of the floor, right now and that's why

812
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 6: they've won nine. Of, ten okay, Most importantly but the

813
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 6: person who's bought in the most and the guy that

814
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 6: they needed To. Is, lebron okay he has a, little

815
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 6: injury he comes back. From Injury the lakers had found

816
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 6: like a little bit of a rhythm, but him and

817
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,359
Speaker 6: you can see it like in, the games accepting being

818
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 6: like the. Third option that's big for the team because

819
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 6: you're talking about arguably the greatest player ever accepting being

820
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 6: the third option And letting Luca And austin reeves be

821
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 6: the engine on, the offensive offensive side of. The ball

822
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 6: that's that's huge for, this team and that's uplifting to

823
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 6: the whole group, because, now Okay if lebron is, bought

824
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 6: In Then, DeAndre ayden you bet you better Buy In,

825
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 6: Marcus Smart, Jared vanderbilt jake lerit like all. Those guys

826
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 6: there's no reason to. Complain, anymore right and then the.

827
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 6: Other Factor since, january eighteenth they have a top. Ten

828
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,920
Speaker 6: defense and the thing that has changed they are playing

829
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 6: the most zone IN the nba in. That, TIME now

830
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 6: i don't know if that's sustainable, to win to win,

831
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 6: a championship but they're playing the. Most zone it's been

832
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 6: super it's been super effective. For them and then like

833
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 6: when things start, to work like playing zone, more consistently

834
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 6: you get you get better at it than the guys

835
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 6: buying they built they it like breeds confidence within.

836
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 8: The group and you.
