29
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: back to back games. Why are we playing? I mean really,

30
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: all the NBA's got to do, all Adam Silver's got

31
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: to do to get solids everywhere is to say, hey,

32
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: you know what, we're gonna get rid of back to backs.

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: Let's find a way to do it right. We can

34
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: find a way to No, no, no, we're gonna play

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: back to back. Oh okay, okay that I mean really

36
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: this I get to a point with back to backs.

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: It's not just it's not just you know the Knicks

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: play tonight and lost back to backs. It's everybody back

39
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: to backs, national televised games, all the different things. I'm

40
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: okay with teams if they say, oh yeah, yeah. I

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: used to go from hey if you're healthy, you can play.

42
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: Your healthy you can play. But now the fact that

43
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: the NBA is really obstinate with oh we're keeping the

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: back to backs, and even though we try to less them,

45
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: but we still have so many, especially early in the season.

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, no, I'm okay. If you want to

47
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: sit back and say you're not playing our guys tonight,

48
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: not doing it, not doing I'm okay with that. I've

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: come around on that. I've gone from hey, come on,

50
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: you're you're you're giving some sort of you have to

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: beetle buy tickets to come see you play at all

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: this that. Now I'm like, no, you sit out blank

53
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: the NBA, Blank, Adam Silver, Blanke all the decisions these

54
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: guys are making. No, yeah, we don't need back to

55
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: back games yet, Blake. Those guys, welcome to the right

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: side of this argument where I've been standing waving telling

57
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you to cross the chasm all these years. Come on

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: over the Water's fine, Blank, those guys, eighteen thousand people

59
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: are still gonna show up. They're gonna live and die

60
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: with every call. They're gonna say, who the hell's that

61
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: guy at the four, and then their game is gonna

62
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: flow through. You're gonna win, you're gonna lose, and you're

63
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna go home. It is all good.

64
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 3: And then they'll saddle up and do it again.

65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, I know you had been really hot on that

66
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: part of it since you started taking it was an

67
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: eleanor you started taking the Lakers games. And it was

68
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: a point where Lou Williams was the best player on

69
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: the floor three straight games because Kobe sat out, the

70
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: other guy sitting out, and he was on the ticket

71
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: of the game. Hey Lou Williams, come to the Lakers.

72
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: Celebrate Lou Williams.

73
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

74
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: I had a partial season during Kobe's final year. I

75
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: think I actually saw him in the building once of

76
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: the games that I went to. Yeah, and he never

77
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: saw him play. No, no, no, no, I didn't get that.

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: And the worst of it, though, it was one one

79
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: night I had tickets for the game and for a

80
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: convergence of circumstance, couldn't go, so I had to hand them.

81
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 1: That was the day that he announced he was done,

82
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: and they gave out that that letter thanking basketball. So

83
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: I only got one of them, Like evidently they were

84
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: willing to give the person I gave the tickets to

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: as many as she wanted, and I told her, get

86
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 1: as many as they'll possibly give you. She she she

87
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: took one, like you failed. Well, we're getting all the

88
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: stars tonight at least. Well, lebron James is not playing,

89
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: but he's going to the G League. Yeah, Bronny with

90
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: the Lakers. No, that is not happening. I want you

91
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: to think Mike Harmon said that he's not going to

92
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: the G League with boy would be funny. Luca starts

93
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: out like a house of fire. But Oklahoma City, looking

94
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: to improve on their league best thirty five and one record,

95
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 1: lead the Lakers now twenty two to fourteen late in

96
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: the first quarter level lot in this again biggest game

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: of night in the NBA, But today was Hardware Day

98
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball, where I can't say we're surprised

99
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: now that Trek Scooble and Paul Skeens are your cy

100
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Young Award winners. Schoobl winning back to back, Skien's winning,

101
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: and now that they've won, we can get to the

102
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: really important part of this conversation is when will both

103
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: of these guys get traded? Right? That's that's really one

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: that's great. When will both of these guys get traded?

105
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: Because that's what it does. It's all about Schooble. Is

106
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: he gonna go Skeens? When's he gonna go. Let's go

107
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Schooble first, then we'll go Skins. Schooble going into his

108
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: last year of controllable salary with the Tigers. I love him,

109
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: love the guy, Love the guy, Love the guy, Love

110
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: the guy. Don't want to trade for him. Don't want

111
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: to trade for him. He's a Scott Boris guy. So

112
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: you know he's gonna go to free agency. And I'll

113
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: tell you this, not only do I don't want to

114
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: trade for him right now, but there's no way he

115
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: gets moved at all before the trade deadline. I know

116
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk right now because it's a

117
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: big rumor with Scooble and the Tigers. What are they

118
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna do? He's gonna hit free agency. But number one,

119
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: the Tigers are a World Series threat team. They're not

120
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: just gonna give Schooble away. They're not a team that

121
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: needs to rebuild. They're not the Pirates. Now. Well, once

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: we get a good player, we gotta sell them off

123
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: for a bunch of lesser players, because that's kind of

124
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: how we do things. So the Tigers, they have World

125
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Series aspirations. They're gonna go into camp with schoobl And

126
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: right now it would take a an absolute treasure trove

127
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: of your best prospects to get Schooble away from the Tigers.

128
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: Which do you really want to give somebody that, knowing

129
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: full well that he's going to hit free agency at

130
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: the end of the year. You can think he's gonna

131
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 1: come in and love your culture. All you want is

132
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: got Boards're gonna say, yeah, don't fall in love too

133
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: much because we're going to free agency, because I'm gonna

134
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: get you three hundred million dollars. Forget about Yama Mood.

135
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get you four hundred million dollars.

136
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: But that's good.

137
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: He made love everything, but he's still it's gonna cost

138
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: you three hundred plus million dollars. It's gonna cost you

139
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: too much in prospects to be able to get a

140
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: guy for a year that's gonna go to free agency,

141
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna go to the highest bidder. Right, So the

142
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: only time he gets moved is at the deadline. And

143
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: this is if the Tigers aren't in contention, because the

144
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Tigers will keep him all the way through the end

145
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: of the year. Hope he goes you, hope he wants

146
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: to stay. They're not gonna move him if they're in contention,

147
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: they have no problem keeping him. He's a homegrown UH prospect.

148
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: And look, he's a guy that had Tommy John surgery.

149
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: The Tigers stuck with him. Look at where they are now,

150
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 1: Look how good he is. He only gets dealt this

151
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: year if it's at the deadline and the Tigers are

152
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: out of contention. Outside of that, School's a Tiger. He's

153
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: gonna pitch the whole year and then we'll get into

154
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: the free agency part of it year from now. But

155
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: all this talk about school going out no way, because

156
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: no one's gonna pony up what the Tigers would want

157
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: to move him, and and it's it's going to be

158
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: really a dead issue until we get to that part

159
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: at the end of July. Yeah, the part that you

160
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: bring up about contending is the curiosity. Right They finished

161
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: the year two and eight eighty seven wins on the year,

162
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: just finishing behind Cleveland, and we look at the rest

163
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: of the division. Casey was just a couple of games

164
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: back Twins and White Sox trying to figure out what

165
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: the hell they're doing.

166
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: And we go from there.

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: But when you get down to it, you know a

168
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: lot I hear a lot of the show, Hey Otani

169
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: talk of well, you don't want to do what the

170
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: angels did. The Angels did it because Ardi Moreno didn't

171
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: want to get money back. Okay, that's all. That's the

172
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: only reason Otani wasn't traded. One they might have had

173
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: some thought that they could still convince him to re

174
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: sign right if the made the money right and whatever.

175
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: They didn't want to do the deferment. So that's fine.

176
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: But the other was how much money had to go

177
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: back to Japanese corporates if he was gone for the

178
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: second half of that year.

179
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 3: I gotta imagine it was enough.

180
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, we're gonna ride

181
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: this out and then we should hope see what happens.

182
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully he doesn't go up the Oh he went up

183
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 1: the five. Yeah, standing thirty miles, I'll go up. I'll

184
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: take you up at five. You go up the five. No,

185
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: you go up the five, you go to Dodgers Tatum.

186
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, so you've got that. But in terms of

187
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the contending, and that's the question, are they willing to

188
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 1: risk losing him for nothing? No, they're not going to.

189
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: They they will know if they're contending all the way

190
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 1: through the end. Of the year. Yes, they would have

191
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: to be on pace for it to finish fifteen twenty

192
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: games under five hundred. Even if they're at five hundred

193
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: the end of July, they'll keep schoobl because you see

194
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: this team, this is a playoff team. There are a

195
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: couple of plays the last two years from moving on

196
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs being an ALCS team, maybe a World

197
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: Series team. So yeah, they'll hold on to him all

198
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: the way through the end of the year. I have

199
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: no doubla mind that's not happening. See, I didn't look

200
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: at him as a pitcher. I'm going I'm going into

201
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 1: the marketplace. I'm gonna say I've got the best going

202
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 1: in the game. Look at there's hardware. He's won of

203
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: five Detroit Tiger pitchers in history. You didn't have any

204
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: fun with my trivia question too. You took the fun

205
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: guy off the board. Well, because I've known that of

206
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: the five players who have won the Cy Young Award

207
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: for the Tigers, you said, who are the five? And

208
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: the first one I said right away, Willy Hernandez, you go,

209
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: but that's the fun one.

210
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: I mean, sureser Verlanders.

211
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: The most it's the most famous one. He won Cy

212
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: Young in eighty four first Relief as your lever. Yeah,

213
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was that was such a

214
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: big deal. Certain things stick in my head, certain trivia

215
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: and stick in my head. But yeah, we started going down,

216
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: going down the rabbit hole of old award winners, Like

217
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: how did that guy know? That was fun? But I

218
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: just think when you got a picture effects every fifth day,

219
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: like if if you've got a couple of these squads

220
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: that are willing to mortgage for a half a year,

221
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 1: come on, give me, give me all I can because

222
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: I know I'm coming up snake eyes once Scott Morris

223
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: gets done the marketplace. Now for Paul Skeins, who wins

224
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: a cy Young unanimously, I think he's the new Jacob

225
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: de Gras, But win ten games, it doesn't matter, You're

226
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: still the cy Young. All this amid reports today from

227
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: a couple of sources that say Paul Skeins has told

228
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: the Pirates he wants to play for the Yankees, and

229
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: the Pirates understand that, Okay, wants to play for the Yankees.

230
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: The Pirates understand that, Okay, you think I'm gonna see

231
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: you go? No, you can't go. Okay, Uh, there's no way.

232
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: I think the Pirates understand. Listen, Paul Skeans as the

233
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: big superstar that he is him Livy Dunn, They're not

234
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna spend their time in Pittsburgh. Okay, They're not just

235
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. But to take this in a different perspective, right,

236
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: he wants to go the Yankees? Great, right, because I'm

237
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: sure if he wants to get there, the Yankees will

238
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: make it happen. Right, this is where the fans. The

239
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: fans got Nico Harrison fired in Dallas. Yankee fans will

240
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: get Paul Skins the Yankees because there's no way. Now,

241
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Brian Cashman is now sweating profusely because he's going I

242
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: have to trade prospects to get Paul Skans At some point.

243
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to trade any prospects because I think,

244
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: oh my guys are really good. It's why I don't

245
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: make big trades anymore. Oh, I gotta go take a thumbs.

246
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: But they'll make it happen. But I want to say this,

247
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: they a different in a different angle here, Right, the

248
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: Pirates don't want to trade Paul Skins, But what else

249
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: you gonna do? Because they're sitting now going Hey, well,

250
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: what's the old There was an old fable I remember

251
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: reading when I was a kid about a guy that

252
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: had a big brick of gold and he had it

253
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: in his backyard, and he and he put in his backyard,

254
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: and he dug it up every day to look at right,

255
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: and he put it and he put it back in

256
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: the ground, and then he dug it up every day

257
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: to look at it. And then one day a neighbors

258
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: walking by and sees the guy and he's crying in

259
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: his backyard. Neighbor says, well, what's going on? And the

260
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: guy says, ah, my gold is gone. Someone stole my gold.

261
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe they stole the gold out of the backyard.

262
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: I don't have the gold anymore. And the neighbor says, well,

263
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: just get a rock painted gold buried. Anyway, you weren't

264
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: doing anything with it, so it may as well just

265
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: get a fake rock and pretended it's it's gold. I

266
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: was thinking about that today because what I want to

267
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: say is, Okay, Pittsburgh, if you don't want to trade

268
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: Paul Skins. I get that, who wants to trade Paul Skins,

269
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: But don't just sit back and we have Paul skins

270
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: and then piecemeal stuff together because you're gonna be seventy

271
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: and ninety two with Paul Skeens. Go out and spend

272
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: some bleeping money. Man, you got a guy that's that great.

273
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: You want to convince him to stay. Go spend some money.

274
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: You know it's okay. You know you don't need to

275
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: be a big market team in the NFL on a

276
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: small market team in Major League Baseball. Go spend some cash,

277
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 1: get a couple of players, and try to compete. It's

278
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: not impossible. You're on a ten year down tick of

279
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: when is this ever gonna happen? Coming off a twenty

280
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: year down tick before you got good for a couple

281
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: of years in the in the in the like twenty eleven,

282
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, when McCutchen was fantastic. Right, So

283
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: you're in a huge down to go out and spend money.

284
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: You don't want to trade him. You know, we don't

285
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: want to move. We love Paul. We want to try

286
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: to find Go spend money, because that's how you're gonna

287
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: get him to stay. That's you get people to come

288
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: to the ballpark. You want people to come more than

289
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: once every fifth day. Go spend some money. And I'm

290
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna saying you gotta go on a Steve Cohen spending spree.

291
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: But you have cash. And if you don't have cash,

292
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: sell the team, because maybe maybe you should have known

293
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: the team you don't have if you're sitting here showing

294
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: me your pockets are empty, Yeah, we don't know what

295
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: we can do. No, go spend some money. Go get

296
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: a couple of bats in and or or go get

297
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: an another pit, whatever you need, and go compete because

298
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,119
Speaker 1: you're a dead franchise. You are an absolutely dead franchise

299
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: that we pay attention to once every fifth day because

300
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: you have a guy that's fantastic. Right, So before you

00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: That way, there's players out there. You could go get

308
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: Louis Severarino away from Sacramento because he doesn't want to

309
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: play in Sacramento anymore. He could be your number two

310
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: starting pitcher. There's guys out there. You can spend money

311
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: the next two years and do it. Go do it, Pittsburgh.

312
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: You had to put your money where your mouth is.

313
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: You don't want Paul Skins to go and do you

314
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: feel bad about no? Go put your money, Go spend

315
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: some money. Contract goes through the twenty twenty nine season.

316
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: The ace ups fable that you're getting into the miser

317
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: and his goal. Ah, the old moral of the story

318
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: that a possession is only as valuable as the use

319
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: we make of it, exactly, So get to work again

320
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: right now. It's a seventy to ninety two piece of

321
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: work that you have. But go go get some players,

322
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: go improve and maybe, hey, guys, we've seen if you're

323
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: a five hundred team, you're contending for the playoffs all

324
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: the way through the end of August. Now you have

325
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: a couple of years with schemes you have. I mean, now,

326
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: he may wind up at some point saying I'm not

327
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: going to play here anymore. You're trading me right now,

328
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: in which case then you're kind of stuck because then

329
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold out. I'm not gonna play it. But

330
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: right now, Yeah, you have control for a couple of years,

331
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: so go spend some cash.

332
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: Spend more years. Based on some quick quick research that

333
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: the revenue share was worth about one hundred and ten

334
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: million dollars.

335
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: Give it all the schemes, I mean sorry, give it

336
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: all the other guys. Give some to schemes three years

337
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: to go and spend money elsewhere. There's plenty of bargains.

338
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: Go find Jonah Hill and to have him crunch some numbers.

339
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: What's he do gets on base? Okay, that could help guys.

340
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna point at Mike Harmon again. If you don't

341
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: tell me what I want to, we'll do that. I'll

342
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: let my hair grow out and I'll put on some weight.

343
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 1: I'll be that Jonah Hill character if I need to,

344
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: just so we can make this happen for Pittsburgh. It's

345
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: a lovely ballpark, a wonderful sports city. But yeah, and

346
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: to your point, they show up every fifth day. All right,

347
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: Skeeves is going. And even then you're only getting ten teams,

348
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: ten to ten. It's a lot of no decisions. And

349
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean we were looking at old records of guys.

350
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get decisions. You at forty two all right, cool,

351
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: but with the way baseball works anymore, you don't have that.

352
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're getting a gift by the way they've

353
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: they've worked this out. Go actually spend that money. Go

354
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: bring in someone, sell off pieces of the team, to

355
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: bring in an infusion of cash, to try to make

356
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: it worth your while and actually be competitive. Because we've

357
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: watched the teams in that division, like EBB and Flow,

358
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: there's no greatness on an annual basis.

359
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: Milwaukee, you know.

360
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: You've got a Manager of the Year a couple of times,

361
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: and they've done everything right. Farm system wise, Cubs run

362
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: up now and again, but the Cardinals have fallen on

363
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: hard times. There's opportunity to go with one or two players.

364
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: And as you say, if you're in contention in September

365
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: and you find yourself in a playoff scenario, guess what.

366
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160
Speaker 1: There you go scheme pitches the first game, and all

367
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: of a sudden you're off in pacing. So yeah, you

368
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 1: got three years to figure it out. That's a long lead,

369
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: which means this is a daily occurrence. Do the math

370
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: for over a thousand days. Exit out bout a fresca

371
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: exit swallowing. Don now go spend money Pittsburgh. You have it,

372
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: Go spend it, Go get a couple of guys at

373
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: least look like you want to win, instead of saying, well,

374
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 1: we have this asset, we don't know. Go spend some cash,

375
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: Go spend you have it, you have it, or just

376
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,600

Speaker 1: Before we get to the Play of the Day brought

411
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: to you by ti Iraq, maybe not the game that

412
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the Lakers are gonna steal on the road. They trail

413
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: the Thunder right now thirty eight to twenty one early

414
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. The Lakers got out to a

415
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: nice start the first like eight seconds, but it's been

416
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 1: all Oklahoma City. Since then, mitchell SGA have ten points apiece.

417
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: This has been like a surgeon's precision, the thunder just

418
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: taking the Lakers apart easily in piece by piece over

419
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: the last half hour. Gotta say, we were watching the

420
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: end of your Knicks game, Sorry buddy, but they show

421
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: coming up, you know, next we've got the Lakers, and

422
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: they showed a shot from inside the locker room and

423
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: they seem nice and relaxed, like they were ready to

424
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: come out and dominate, checking their phones, legs crossed, and

425
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 1: I mean not a bit of anxiousness or excitedness to

426
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: be had. So to come out with this effort and

427
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: get drummed here early second quarter, I'm a little disappointed.

428
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: Resplendent in the all purple uniforms. You know, sometimes the

429
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: uniforms can carry you. Really you look good. Times they

430
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: don't feel good. You play good today, you got nothing

431
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: when you're playing the champs that are eleven and one. Yeah,

432
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what uniforms you have on. If you

433
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: have one of those girls on fire Cat has Everdeen

434
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: things on, maybe that can help you. But short of that, yeah,

435
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: you need a little bit more than that. Can we

436
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: get a scenario by a small game package like this

437
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: is what the Pirates can do where they hire Stanley

438
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: Tucci to come in and be their play by play guy.

439
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: Oh character, okay, okay, yeah, either that or the guy

440
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: from the Devil with get to the either one. He's

441
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: a flickerman. Yeah yeah, Happy birthday, Stanley Tucciez sixty five yesterday?

442
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 4: Is that right?

443
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: How about that? Uh? Now for the Play of the day,

444
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: brought to by Ti Iraq, we harken back to a

445
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: Big Bowl prediction I made before the season that well,

446
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: let's just say, if you followed it, you're feeling pretty

447
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: good about your ticket right now. Tucking Robinson three on

448
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: the way back it in Holy mackerel, don't count. Don't count.

449
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 6: One, six, seven out of ten from three point range,

450
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 6: Piston's Radio network on the call. Pistons beat the Bulls,

451
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 6: sorry buddy, and they continue to be in first place

452
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 6: in the Eastern Conference. They win it tonight one twenty

453
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 6: four to one thirteen, and I harken back. I was

454
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 6: like the word harkin. I harken back to our preseason. Hey,

455
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 6: if you're looking, because I'm on I'm on a long

456
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 6: shot heater right like by anybody's estimate. I'm on a

457
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 6: long shot heater because last spring, remember I told you, hey,

458
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 6: long shot team for the Super Bowl, Indianapolis Colts. The

459
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 6: promo says, the toldja Man told that was two years ago.

460
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 6: Told you the evidence is out there. I said, Daniel

461
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 6: Jones is gonna fit in right in this offense. You

462
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 6: want looking for a long shot team at plus ten thousand.

463
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 6: Look at where the Colts are. Best team in the

464
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 6: AFC right now before the season started. You want two

465
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 6: long shot NBA finals teams.

466
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: I gave you the Spurs. You're welcome because I knew

467
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: Wenby was gonna be the best player in the league

468
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: at some point this year. And it looks like he's

469
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: here now, which means, okay, they're really good now. They're

470
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: near the top of the Western Conference, just just behind

471
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: Oklahoma City and in the East, I said, here come

472
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: the Pistons. Not even one hundred percent healthy, they're young,

473
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: they had the taste of the playoffs last year. It's

474
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: a down year in the Eastern Conference. This could be

475
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: a team that puts it all together at once. And

476
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: here they are right now, ten and two, top of

477
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, eight players averaging at least nine points

478
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: per game. As we rolled through Kate Cunningham at twenty

479
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: seven and a half. You know, you know that's how

480
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 1: many shots he takes a game. Oh no, that that's

481
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: not the point. His elbow is eventually flying into the

482
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: third the tendonitis on. I want to talk. I don't

483
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: know how you fake, you know, like the guys switch

484
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: the ball like they catch a ball and throw a

485
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: phony one back.

486
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how you do that with a guy's

487
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: arm and elbow.

488
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: It's gonna be tough.

489
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 3: How do I do that? I don't know how I

490
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 3: pull that off.

491
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: But you had Pistons and Spurs odds to get to

492
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: the finals at forty and fifty to one. Now the

493
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: Pistons are still like thirty to one, whereas the Spurs,

494
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,159
Speaker 1: even in a crowded Western conference, and we're watching the

495
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: defending champs going to work here tonight, they have gone

496
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: down to twenty five to one. Their odds have halved.

497
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: We watched Wen Binyama the other night lay waste the

498
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls with a thirty eight point performance, including that

499
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: step back three, which just should be outlawed. When you're

500
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: that tall.

501
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's unfair.

502
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, especially his step back three is from the

503
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: free throw line.

504
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 3: No, but that's it.

505
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: He's at the free throw line. You're thinking layup. He

506
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: takes a step back. He's at mid court. So which

507
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: is bigger? The one step back from Victor wiban Yama

508
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: or that half ass eurostep thing that we saw Luca

509
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: do earlier. Is a eurostep master? Come on, Eurostep mask.

510
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: I want to go back and watch it for Fred.

511
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: How many steps did he actually take it to the rim?

512
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: He is the tom Imansky of the eurostep. He can

513
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: say I don't need to play anymore. I need to

514
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: put out instructional videos on how to use the eurostats.

515
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get to the hoop. That's all you need

516
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: right there. He wears the big Fred McGriff high hat. Hey,

517
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: Luka Daunci and the Eurostep gets my full endorsement. Here

518
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 1: you go throwing a baseball into a trash cand We

519
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: got big stuff out of the NFL and a one team.

520
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe they have the record they do coming

521
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: up in ninety seconds. But first Monty Belanos, who is

522
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: lighting candles for Bradley Beal and it didn't help. She

523
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 1: has what's trending right now the world of sports. The guy,

524
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: the guy getting hurt. It's good.

525
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. He'll be fine, he's fine.

526
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 7: The Clippers are you know, you know in the the

527
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 7: on social media where you see like how ass teams

528
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 7: are in the NFL, It's like ass mega ass, and

529
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 7: then at the bottom says like Jets.

530
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,719
Speaker 2: The Clippers are like the Jets, Like they're in their

531
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: own category.

532
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: Right now, below everything, below.

533
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 2: Everything else, like on how bad they look.

534
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: It's good teams, it's four teams.

535
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: It's fifty feet a crap and then there's us and then.

536
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 7: There's and that's how the Clippers are right now, you

537
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. So hopefully this will eliminate I

538
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 7: don't know, I feel like they're they're giving everyone minutes.

539
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 2: You know, it's like it's a participation trophy.

540
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 1: Well, no, they had a big contest and the winners

541
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: get more minutes, and it's.

542
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: What it seems like, and the only one that should

543
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 2: win is James Harden.

544
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: You're still not the Nuggets. I'm sorry. The Pelicans are

545
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. That's Mavericks.

546
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, but they there's it's like, yeah, the Clippers are

547
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 7: you know, they're so annoying. We can talk about this

548
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 7: for hours, guys, They're just so annoying. All right, let's

549
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 7: talk about the games going on right now. Even though

550
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 7: the Clippers and the Nuggets are coming up shortly, the

551
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 7: Lakers are losing to the Thunder, as you guys were

552
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 7: briefly talking about. Forty nine to twenty six is a

553
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 7: score halfway through the second quarter.

554
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 2: When it comes to the Suns and the Mavericks.

555
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 7: Phoenixes up right now one o six to ninety still

556
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 7: early in the fourth quarter of that one late in

557
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 7: the first quarter between the Kings and the Hawks where

558
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 7: Atlanta is up thirty three to twenty five and coming

559
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 7: down to the final like eighteen seconds. It's still not over,

560
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 7: but it looks like the Warriors maybe handing the Spurs

561
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 7: their first loss at home this season. Golden State is

562
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 7: up right now one twenty one to one thirteen. Steph

563
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 7: Cree has forty four points. Victor one Banyama has twenty

564
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 7: seven points and fourteen rebounds. It was so funny. It's

565
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 7: just a second ago. Brandon Pajemski stole the ball and

566
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 7: he ran down to maybe get a quick layup, but

567
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 7: Victor one Banyama was right there.

568
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: There he was, and he didn't even move.

569
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 7: He traveled instead and turned the ball over because Victor

570
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 7: was just hovering over him, which is probably what I

571
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 7: would have done as well.

572
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: Got paying attention to your yeah, start taking baby.

573
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Steps exactly exactly.

574
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 7: The Magic handed the Knicks their first loss at home,

575
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 7: coming out on top one twenty four to one oh

576
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 7: seven pistons of one eight in a row.

577
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: They topped the Bowls one twenty four to one thirteen.

578
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 7: Years over the Heat one thirty one sixteen, also Miami's

579
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 7: first loss at home. Also victories today for the Rockets,

580
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 7: the Celtics, the Hornets, and the Trail Blazers. When it

581
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 7: comes to the NHL, Oilers and Flyers are tied at

582
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 7: one apiece with five minutes to go up it's over.

583
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 7: Oilers just defeated the Flyers a fast five. That really

584
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 7: was I think my system changed.

585
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Here five minutes ago.

586
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: Five minutes it's sober. Oilers won it two to one.

587
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: It's over.

588
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 7: Rangers defeated the Lightning seventy three black Hawks over the

589
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 7: Devil's one zero after the first period and with five

590
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 7: minutes to go in the second period, the Savers are

591
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 7: leading the mammoth to to one who FACTI.

592
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: You know that's the thing. I don't know if you

593
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: know this, but anybody who if you have kids, you

594
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: know this that you can change time. Yes, you can

595
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: change time. Because they think about that five minutes. How

596
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: fast that five minutes went went super If your kid

597
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 1: is like four or five years old, six years old,

598
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,439
Speaker 1: and they're playing and you're you know, you're you have

599
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: a playdate and you're there talking to the other parents.

600
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: If you're having five, it's hey, how much longer can

601
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: we stay? You have another five minutes? Now that five

602
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: minutes can be a half hour if you're hanging out

603
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: having fun. It could also be two minutes if I'm

604
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: ready to go. So five minutes could be a half hour,

605
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: could be two minutes. It doesn't matter. You can make

606
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: five minutes be whatever length of time you want it

607
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: to be. You changed the digital clock ahead an extra

608
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: they can stay on nine. Wait, it was only like

609
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: seven fifty.

610
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 3: Says nine.

611
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 1: Fine, Yeah, the kid does it. He knows his basic numbers.

612
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: So just so you can play and that's that. That's

613
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: the time that Monty played with right there. Five minutes.

614
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: Now it's it's.

615
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: Very good, Thank you very much.

616
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 7: Yep.

617
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 3: So I really after today, I really I.

618
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: Have no idea how the Eagles are seven and two.

619
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 1: I have and part of it is I really appreciate

620
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: how they are able to win football games amidst so

621
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: much dysfunction because number one, you add the story today,

622
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: a couple of one one Eagles insider radio hosts Inhiladelphie said, hey,

623
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: got reports that the final play on Monday Night Football

624
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: on offense where they decide to go for it, Nick

625
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: Sirianni goes for it and they throw that long pass

626
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: to AJ Brown that that was Jalen Hurts and Brown

627
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: going rogue on the play. That was not the play

628
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: that was called, and he just threw it up deep

629
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 1: to AJ Brown that went rogue. Sirianni was mad, didn't

630
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: want to talk about it a lot after the game.

631
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: So that's not the first time that's happened, right, These

632
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: are reports out of your radio reports out of Philadelphia.

633
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 3: That's pretty interesting considering A. J. Brown never looked for

634
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: the foota we're going rogue, We're going going rogue, and.

635
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Instead it just dots Valentine in the middle of his back.

636
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: You were throwing to me, Oh, I see, I didn't

637
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,479
Speaker 1: turn around for that. So you have this story and

638
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: then you have aj Brown on a twitch stream deciding,

639
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: you know what, why should Blake Snell have all the

640
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: twitch stream fun where he lights his football world on

641
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 1: fire talking about where his life is right now when

642
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: it comes to football. Here he is talking about how hey,

643
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: you know, in you know, in general, every day things

644
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: are really good. But outside is everyday life things aren't

645
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: so good. Take a listen.

646
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: Everything good though, like, like, you know what I'm saying,

647
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: everything but straight.

648
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Mental good?

649
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:12,720

Speaker 2: What I'm saying, whife good?

652
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: Everything?

653
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 4: No, no, no trimmer.

654
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I still got check up. You know what

655
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Yeah.

656
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying.

657
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 7: I good?

658
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

659
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: Everything else no, everything show? Everything else is a blank show.

660
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: How's everything? Everything good?

661
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 3: Where you've been?

662
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: Where are you? You're watching this? Where you've been? Man?

663
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: It's all relative? I mean we're winning. Uh yeah, no,

664
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: that's you've been. Man. I don't get the football. I

665
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: don't know that really. I I can't not only can

666
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 1: I not believe the Eagles are seven and two. I

667
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: have so much respect for them. To still be seven

668
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: and two with this level of dysfunction that continues to

669
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: swirl around AJ Brown. I'd be real because what do

670
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: we say before the deadline? Right?

671
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 7: And not?

672
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: We could have been the GM. Hey, Howie Roseman, I

673
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 1: could have done your job from three thousand bleep in

674
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: miles away. It's not gonna work with AJ Brown, right,

675
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: it's not gonna work. You got through it last year

676
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: because you had no choice because brown situation standing with

677
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: the team thrown into a big set of flux late

678
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: in the year. Him reading on the sideline turned it

679
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: into a positive. Hey he's reading. Why is that such

680
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: a big deal?

681
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: Right?

682
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: You survived that you won the Super Bowl? Not gonna

683
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: happen again. You knew going into the deadline AJ Brown

684
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: wasn't happy. Did you go out and get a wide receiver?

685
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 4: No?

686
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: And if you lose, it's just as big an epic

687
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 1: fail for you as it was for the Bills not

688
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: getting a wide receiver because you knew it's not working

689
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: with AJ Brown. And here allegedly guys going rogue to

690
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: throw you know's call plays they want to go. You

691
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: needed to go and move AJ Brown, who still would

692
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: have you know, other teams would like to get him

693
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: because you look, he's fallen out of favor whatever reason.

694
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: It's not working in Philadelphia, and they should have got

695
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: out and got to the wide receiver, shugared it out

696
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: and got Jacoby Myers or could out and get somebody

697
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: that Hey, we're gonna pry you away because we want

698
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 1: to win. This is a big epic fail for the

699
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: Eagles not getting a wide receiver. We said it at

700
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: the time, so we're not second guessing because we were

701
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: first guessing this that man, you gotta go out and

702
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: get somebody the deadline because this thing is not working.

703
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: You found a way to win on Monday in one

704
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: of the most craptastic games that we have seen. You

705
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: have not solved your issues. You are still one foot

706
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: on the banana peel at all times, which is the Eagles,

707
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: and now you're in the middle of the controversy as

708
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: we get close to Thanksgiving. But I mean, but I

709
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: gotta say all of that, I really have a lot

710
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: of respect that they could still win with this level

711
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: of craziness and dysfunction. Oh that's what they being, that's

712
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: their calling card at this point under Siriani. I mean,

713
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,959
Speaker 1: he's not fighting the fans the same way he did

714
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: once upon a time. You still have your guy dom

715
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: hanging around and taking care of business. What's interesting is

716
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: they're winning in spite of the lack of juice offensively

717
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: that they used to have with the run game right,

718
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: particularly the Saquon Barkley year obviously, but historically they always

719
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: were able to voltron together with Jalen Hurts being part

720
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: of it, a three or four man attack to be

721
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: effective on that part of the offense. This year not

722
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: nearly as close to that. DeVante Smith's your number one,

723
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard when healthy has been stable and occasionally you

724
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: get a John Dotson sighting. I mean, AJ Brown's had

725
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: three great games this year, and coming into the game

726
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: against Green Bay coming out of a bye, the question was,

727
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: all right, is he gonna build on the two prior

728
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: games where he'd actually been very involved in the offense,

729
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: high target count, good yardage output. Instead, No, it's three targets,

730
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: including the rogue where he never looks for the football, which,

731
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: again I just don't understand that if that's the call,

732
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: that's great, that it should be the Ted Lasso thing.

733
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, jam you gotta be a dcar. Look,

734
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 3: give me the ball. I want the ball. I mean,

735
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 3: at least do that and sell me that you gave

736
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 3: me nothing.

737
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I can't believe the Eagles just not only

738
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: do they win, they thrive in dysfunction, and people not

739
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: let people do that, not let but this there is

740
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: only one guy.

741
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 3: With the liking problem, it seems right now.

742
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think a lot when you have

743
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: the quarterback going road allegedly and and we're gonna run

744
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,719
Speaker 1: plays and not the first time that's happened.

745
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 3: But he's trying to help his guy.

746
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: I really, I am. I am so incredibly I want

747
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: to know how they do it, and I also want

748
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: to know how the hell they're still seven and two

749
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: with this, Like, really, does this beget the larger discussion

750
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: of how many teams actually what's that word you like

751
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: to use? Stink? Yes, exit out bouta fresca exit swollen

752
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend, like

753
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: Mike Garment, Like the Jets. You know they can't live

754
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: in dysfunction at all. No, no, no, that I'm sorry.

755
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: They live in dysfunction. They just can't rise above it. Correct, Yeah,

756
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: that gets this dysfunction there.

757
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: It's all around. It's festering.

758
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: God as Semini, you want to talk about awkward and

759
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: dysfunction coming up next? Way, do we tell you who

760
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: could be really close to returning to play. It's not Tebu.

761
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 3: That would be something.

762

Speaker 1: a guy failing miserably in a big test.

772
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 3: On national television.

773
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Lakers in Oklahoma City, which is the marquee

774
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: game of the night in the NBA is over at halftime.

775
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: The Thunder lead the Lakers seventy to thirty eight. Do

776
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: you think SGA and a bunch of guys like you know,

777
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: our buddy Chet, you think they've been reading all the

778
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: clippings or maybe seeing some of what was posted on

779
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: our YouTube page or across social media at how about

780
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: a fresco that's walling home, you know where you've called

781
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves, Scottie Pippen. Yeah, and they said, you know, hey, hey,

782
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: that's cute. Now we go to school. We're the bulls.

783
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: We're the bulls. Okay, you could go up to that,

784
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: but we're the bulls. And is it too early to

785
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: make them twelve and one too early? Or is there

786
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: k twelve and one now eight at half time? Yeah,

787
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: not exactly what JJ Ruddick had in mind.

788
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 3: They put up the graphic.

789
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: Okay, see it's the ninth time they've led a game

790
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: by at least twenty points. However, how a day ago

791
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: you would say the Lakers don't need this help, but

792
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,280
Speaker 1: maybe now they do. As it was reported today, Lebron

793
00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: James maybe on the road back to health and the

794
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: Laker lineup practicing with the G League team South Bay Lakers.

795
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: His sciatica is apparently getting a little bit better to

796
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: the point where hey, now you can get back and

797
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: maybe do some on court activity. So he's practicing with

798
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: the G league team. The big step towards coming back

799
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: towards the Lakers has not played, of course, this season,

800
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: and this has gone from, well, it's gonna be really

801
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: awkward when Lebron comes back. So awkward, so awkward, so awkward.

802
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: But now they play a game against the best team

803
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: in the NBA. Okay, And while it's been an incredible

804
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: start so far for the Lakers, right, Luca is having

805
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: an MVP type start to this year, Austin Reeves is

806
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: Scottie Pittman. Right, the Lakers have really no issues. But

807
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: you just see the distance between the best teams and

808
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: the Thunder and you go, oh, maybe we do need Lebron.

809
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, maybe Lebron would be a bit of a

810
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: difference maker in this game. Maybe. Now, hey, what a surprise.

811
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: They're playing the Thunder on the road on a day

812
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: when the Lakers know they're gonna get boat raced, and

813
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: Lebron just happens to practice with the South pay life.

814
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: I know we're getting killed tonight. Yeah, I'm ready to

815
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: come back to practice because, look, it's so awkward when

816
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: he comes back. What kind of role is he going

817
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: to have? Is he gonna be Lebron James? If he's

818
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: the ball stopper Lebron and the Lakers start losing, guess what, man,

819
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,760
Speaker 1: there's gonna be conversations. Lebron is gonna come back and gonna,

820
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, try to weave his way into the lineup,

821
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be awkward because the Lakers want to

822
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: move on without him. He doesn't really want to be there.

823
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: But this is what we have. We are We have

824
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: no choice but to lean on each other for the

825
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: next few months. But a night like tonight is a

826
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: big night because it kind of gets you back and

827
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 1: settles you to the point where, Okay, the Lakers do

828
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: some great things and you can see where their future is.

829
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: And after this year with Lebron and his fifty million

830
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: dollar salary gone, hey, they can get the last couple

831
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: of pieces they need to really be an NBA title contender.

832
00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: But right now you are seeing that, oh man, as

833
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: good as we are, as good a start as we

834
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: have had, the gap between the teams that are contenders,

835
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 1: teams like the Knicks and the Pistons and the Spurs

836
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: and between the Thunder, it's like the distance between first

837
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: and last place in the league. It's that big well,

838
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: and that's where we can have fun. With numbers of

839
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: teams that you played. Look, you can only beat who's

840
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: on the schedule. Right, and where we sit here, it's

841
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: still just creeping up on mid November. There's a lot

842
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: of basketball to be played. I know you rue the

843
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: back to backs. They got to get those eighty two

844
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: games in somewhere otherwise this becomes a year round league,

845
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: which it's inching towards on a day to day basis anyway.

846
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, Lebron getting up and down in practice. This

847
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of five on five contact. I think

848
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen possessions is what JJ Reddick said addressing

849
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: it a little bit earlier in the afternoon. So trying

850
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: to figure out how he comes back in. Yeah, you'll

851
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: work it back. He's still a top fifteen player. Will

852
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: it be awkward at times? Sure, Guys have to sacrifice

853
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: some of the roles they've gotten used to. I think

854
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing, right, It's it's not necessarily the

855
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: Reeves and Luca part of it. I think, you know,

856
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: elite guys they'll figure it out. And I mean that

857
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: for Luca and Lebron. And I'll give your guy Reeves.

858
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: I'll put him in as the third because you're ascending

859
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: him to where he's got a statue next to Nico

860
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 1: outside of Lebron can be Bill Wennington. It's fine if

861
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: Luca is Wennington's a champion, right, yeah, okay, okay, okay,

862
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't want I don't want to insult. If you

863
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: want to insult.

864
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 3: Him, and he had a good beard, Bron's got a

865
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: good beard.

866
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: Lebron can be horrible.

867
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't Lebron can be horri annywhere goggles?

868
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, come back with the god that Bron

869
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: can be Horrs Grant very good player, underrated in that

870
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: first three p damn it. I know pat Riley seven dollars,

871
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: but all of that say, it's the interesting next section

872
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 1: and the way you lay up okay, see is the

873
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: right way to do it. Of all right, when you

874
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: step up in class, sometimes you need to be humbled,

875
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: like the Iron Chic, the late Great Iron Chic used

876
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: to say, sometimes you need to be humbled and recognize

877
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 1: where you are in the banking order relative to the

878
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: greatness that is the Shekh, the champ or in this

879
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: case SGA and these Oklahoma City thunder I mean, really,

880
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: in one half of basketball, it's going from we don't

881
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: need that guy, When can we get him? When can

882
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: he show up? When can he get there? We don't

883
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: need I don't want to see that guy. I need

884
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 1: to see him right now. I need to see possession

885
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,680
Speaker 1: to possession. You're now photoshopping and the inn in your head.

886
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 3: He goes.

887
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: You know, that's where he could have played a little

888
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 1: bit of defense or at least gotten in the way offensively.

889
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: This would have been a better set X y Z. Yeah,

890
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 1: So it'll be interesting to watch how quickly this gets ramped.

891
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresco exit swelling dome Jason Smith
