1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 2: Oh, man, I feel like it's one of the most

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 2: complicated questions out there. Uh, you've ever been part of

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: a relationship. This doesn't need to be a romantic relationship,

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: and any sort of relationship could be a work one,

6
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 2: even where people are like, man, how do we get

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: the magic back? How do we? Uh? How do we

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: rekindle this thing? And I feel like if you're asking

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: that question, ooh, you're in a bad spot because nobody

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: knows how to do that. You can't fake it. And

11
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: that is the question that America's pastime has right now,

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: how aphram. We're about to watch Team USA take on

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: the Dominican in the World Baseball Classic, and I can

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: promise you in the Dominican or anybody with any roots there,

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: I mean, hearts are racing edge of seat, sweat on

16
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: the bra and ready to scream, dance and yell. Meantime,

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 2: if you're an American baseball fan, you're like, eh, turn

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: on that game for the background noise while we're cooking

19
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: dinner or whatever else. We're doing. So good evening to you.

20
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 2: How you doing, my man?

21
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 3: I'm great. How you doing?

22
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: I'm so good? But how how how does the American

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: baseball fan get a little bit of seemingly what all

24
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: of the other baseball fans in this tournament have.

25
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: Look I I've enjoyed watching the games. I think it's awesome.

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 3: I think coming right off the Winter Olympics, it makes sense.

27
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 3: It resonates, and it's fun. It really is fun. And

28
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: if you can't get behind it, especially during this time

29
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: right there's no football on, there's no you know, we're

30
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: winding down in the NBA. We're heading about fifteen games

31
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: left in the NBA, I think this is much more

32
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: exciting than watching spring are Uh, what's the spring training baseball?

33
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 2: For sure? That doesn't count.

34
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: It's not even close. I'd rather watch that then the

35
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 3: Dodgers beat up on the White Sox. Are are are

36
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 3: the Cubs?

37
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 2: Right?

38
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: Like? So, I think it's I think it's great. It

39
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: brings a you know, a piece of of your you know,

40
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 3: American heritage into it. You know, everybody's on the same side,

41
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 3: stars and stripes, doesn't matter your political or religious affiliation.

42
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: If you're an American, you can get behind the American team.

43
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 3: And I think it's Uh, I think it's it's great

44
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: for baseball, Like I said, you could just be watching

45
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: hours and hours of spring training games that don't count.

46
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: These games count.

47
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 2: They do, And I'm with you, but I think you

48
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: also understand what I'm getting at, and that is is

49
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: that we can we can tell people it matters. And

50
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: this is I've always felt this way. As soon as

51
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: you start having to tell someone that it matters, it

52
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: is already evident that to them it doesn't matter. And

53
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: I don't think we need to hide from this. The

54
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 2: World Baseball Classic, it does. It's very much like how

55
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: I felt about soccer throughout most of my lifetime. Soccer

56
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: has made unbelievable strides here in the United States of

57
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 2: America during my lifetime, but even still now. And I

58
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: know there's a bunch of you American soccer fans now

59
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: on the edge of your street waiting repounds on this take.

60
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: But sorry, you're wrong. When the World Cup comes around,

61
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: if you think it matters as much to us as

62
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 2: it does to the rest of the world, you're wrong.

63
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: You're just flat out wrong. It just doesn't and you

64
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: can't fake that. And this game that's about to unfold,

65
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: it matters more to the Dominican Republic than it does

66
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: to America. You can't hide from that.

67
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: No, it does.

68
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: I mean, if somebody hits a home run in the

69
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: first inning for the Dominican Republic, I mean we're talking

70
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: about a mash pit in the stands. If somebody hits

71
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 2: a home run for Tmosa, it's a high five. Yeah.

72
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: I think. I think we're in a situation where you

73
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: still want your team to win, right, you still want

74
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 3: to be on the rooting side of a a victory.

75
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 3: So it may not be as important to us as

76
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 3: is it it is in the Dominican Republic, but it's

77
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 3: important now. It can't be important for everyone. Like, guess what.

78
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: Some people don't like the Super Bowl? Do you believe

79
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 3: that some people don't like Some people don't listen to

80
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: first some people don't like the NBA Finals. Yeah, people

81
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: can't stand baseball, and most people don't like soccer. So

82
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: in this country, yeah.

83
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: For most people, you love soccer.

84
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: How many MLS games have you have you tuned into? Well,

85
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 3: that's different than wait on second, that's different. No, No,

86
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 3: of course it's soccer. But that's like so is my

87
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 3: son's little league game last night. I'm not asking everybody

88
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: to care about it. Do you know what I mean, like,

89
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: that's a that is a lower level of soccer. It

90
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 3: is like that to me.

91
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 2: That's like saying I'm supposed to care, Like, do you

92
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: care about those South Bay Lakers? Do you care about

93
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: the final score of that game?

94
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: No? But okay, the Lakers are not the pre eminent

95
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: pro league. It's the MLS neither.

96
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 2: No. No, it's not here. Yeah. Here, But like, the

97
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: world is much smaller now. We have access all over

98
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: the place to what's happening overseas. We have access to that.

99
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: It's on TV, it's on it's online, it's everywhere. I

100
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 2: don't I don't need to watch the MLS. I can

101
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: watch the Premier League. It's on Okay, I'm just saying, well,

102
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: I'm saying you love soccer. You know that soccer is

103
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: very popular here now.

104
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 3: But look, I love sport. Yes, so I'm a fan

105
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 3: of sport. The reason I love our show and what

106
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 3: I do on the radio is because I get to

107
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 3: talk about sports year round, not just when football season ends,

108
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: yes sir, or it starts. I get to stay on

109
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 3: and talk about everything, and I pride myself on being

110
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: somewhat knowledgeable or on the things that we're out there watching.

111
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: It is a compliment to you. You know this. You

112
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: and I have been doing this for many, many years

113
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: with this network, and there are many years in my

114
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: past where they shuttle in and out. They like, you

115
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: get six months and won't give you a basketball guy.

116
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: Six months. We're going to do a football guy, but

117
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 2: not with you. No, you don't have to leave in February, because,

118
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean, little do people know in many ways you

119
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: played thirteen years in the NFL. I think you know

120
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: more about the NBA than you do about the NFL.

121
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 3: Probably that's a real thing. That's probably right.

122
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: That's it's just yeah, that's because I know you.

123
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 3: You're probably correctly right.

124
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, anyway, listen, I don't ever like to feel

125
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 2: like what we're doing here is sales. Now, we might

126
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: be selling what we're doing. I think, just however you

127
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: conduct yourself in life, there's allay some form of sales.

128
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 2: I guess. I don't need everybody to cry if Bobby

129
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: wit Junior leads off with a home run. It's okay.

130
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to tell you what to like. I

131
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: just think that being a baseball fan for the Dominican

132
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: Republic or Venezuela looks a hell of a lot more

133
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: fun than it does rooting for Team USA. Doesn't it

134
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 2: look more fun? I want some of.

135
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: That game against Canada that wasn't fun for you.

136
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: It was fun, but it not as fun as what

137
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: happened when the Dominican played Venezuela.

138
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: No, that'sh my god, that's a whole other level of

139
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 3: of fandomly.

140
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 2: Right, I told you this last week, and Juan Soto

141
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 2: hits a home run and babies are made, Like, I mean,

142
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: it's completely different, a completely different in scenario.

143
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: But do you understand how other countries look at us

144
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: like we're crazy when it comes to the NFA. I

145
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: guess they look at it because they don't number one,

146
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: They don't have the sport number one right. Two, they

147
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: don't get it. They're like wait, wait what.

148
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 2: Well, sure they don't understand.

149
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 3: It, and why is it called football?

150
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: Right?

151
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: So, so as crazy as this country is, and we

152
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: know this country is fanatic about about the NFL, other

153
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: countries are like, oh, okay, can we drink beer at

154
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 3: the game?

155
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, but it's that's because I think what

156
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: you just said. They don't understand it. Right, There are

157
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: sports that are very very popular internationally that I don't

158
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: understand you. You would have to explain cricket to me.

159
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: You'd have to explain it. There are a lot of

160
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: NHL fans in America. There are a lot of them who,

161
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: if I said explain icing to me, would say, pass,

162
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what the blue line is. I know

163
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: that it's on. I say, have no idea what it signified.

164
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Ass you know what I mean. So that's that's at

165
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 2: the center of it all. And that might change through

166
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: the years. Roger Goodell's trying like crazy to put NFL

167
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: games in every country in the world, so it may change, oh,

168
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 2: you know, slowly, but surely. I'm just that's really all

169
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: on pointing out boy being a I would love if

170
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: there is another life. I'd like to come back as

171
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: a baseball fan that's got like the Dominican vibe to it.

172
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: That looks fun to me. And I'm a big fan

173
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: of fun, and I do think that baseball is fun

174
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: and I and I think that American fans in general,

175
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: we do with our sports. We get caught too often

176
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 2: asking for less of it, and I think that says

177
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: a lot more about us and it does about the sport. Now,

178
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: there are functional reasons. Steve Kerr has been talking a

179
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 2: lot over the last two weeks about, boy, the NBA

180
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: season needs to be shorter, the back to backs and

181
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: the ground that they now covered. The speed of the

182
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 2: game is different, the miles that they run whatever. Players

183
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 2: are playing well past thirty five now, and that's what's

184
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: leading to all of the injuries. And that's we can

185
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: debate that. And you and I know nobody's ever they're

186
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: not going to do less. But how often do you

187
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 2: hear someone in baseball go, boy, that season's too long?

188
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 2: All right, right? I better the Dominican they're like, you

189
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 2: know what, they should get down. They should play every

190
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: day of the year because this is fun. But we don't.

191
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: We don't do that here. We want less. I just

192
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 2: think there's something on our shoulder. There's a chip on

193
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 2: our shoulder. Who hurt us? No, seriously, why is a

194
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: game so threatening to us? Oh? God, they're playing again.

195
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 2: We should have less, less sports because oh it's just

196
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: too long and I'm bored. Oh, I don't know, man,

197
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 2: turn on the TV. Turn on the TV and look

198
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: at this, and I don't know, find some joy.

199
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: And that's what it's all about it's about being entertained. Man.

200
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of of of competing, right, I'm a

201
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 3: fan of competing. So when you have countries, the World Cup,

202
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: to me is unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. Even though the US

203
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 3: on the men's side don't expect much, it's still unbelievable. Yeah,

204
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 3: you know, my favorite uh you know footballer is in Boppe, right,

205
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:17,920
Speaker 3: so you know, I it's we're we're we're on a

206
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: sports network talking to you know about sports. So for me, uh,

207
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: this is the dream and I try to embrace all

208
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 3: of the sports to an extent, like I like Curly. Right.

209
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: My wife got burned down on curly now because every

210
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 3: the only thing that was ever always on was Curly.

211
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: She was like, can we get other events? Can we

212
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: do something other than Curly? But I'm fascinated by it,

213
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: the louge vibs, letting all of those things. So look,

214
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: I'm all in got it. On one of my TVs

215
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 3: is Judge just rips one into left field. You know,

216
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 3: I'm I'm happy. I was happy two days ago watching

217
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: them play Canada. Canada made a late rally, made it close,

218
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:13,319
Speaker 3: which added excitement to it, you know, but it was great.

219
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: I'm glad that Mark de Russa knew that the United

220
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: States needed to win that game. So that's good that helped,

221
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? I no wonder we're so unlikable.

222
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 2: Seriously the manager. Could you imagine what would happen in

223
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: the Dominican if their manager was like, yep, we're on

224
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: to the next round. Now you're not whatever, Like, excuse me?

225
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: How arrogant can we sound? Yeah?

226
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: That was pretty bad, and he just kept walking into it,

227
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: and I'm like.

228
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: Well, dude, gosh, there's one lesson that I could give

229
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: my kids. When you screw up, just say it. Stop

230
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: trying to act like you didn't actually mess up. Oh yeah, misspoke.

231
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 2: You know.

232
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: I cut them off right before they can walk themselves

233
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 3: into more trouble, right, I say, Hey, look, man, I

234
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 3: already know. I said already, And I said, the difference

235
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 3: between you growing up now and when I grew up

236
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: is my dad didn't grow up with technology or hip hop,

237
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 3: So you can't fool me with anything. Okay, I know all.

238
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: I know the tricks on the computer. I know, I

239
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: know if I know it all, So before you jump

240
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 3: out on a limb and lie. Just know I know

241
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: the answer. If I'm asking you something, assume I know

242
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: the truth. That's it.

00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: supposed to admit this, but I do think I am

295
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 2: representative of many, many, many American sports fans, and college

296
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 2: basketball for me started like yesterday, and that's that's just

297
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 2: the way that I watch it. That does not mean

298
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 2: that I didn't. That doesn't mean I don't know what's

299
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 2: been going on this season. I do. That does not

300
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: mean I haven't watched any games this year. I have.

301
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 2: But my actual sort of like emotional tie to it,

302
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 2: it's it starts now. It starts now. So what about

303
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: you and what you see in the bracket?

304
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: What bracket? What are you talking about?

305
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,320

308
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: the bracket you're talking about?

309
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: March Madness bracket is set. You can't ignore it just

310
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: because San Diego State is not in it.

311
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just takes all the luster out of it.

312
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: I know it does. It's Uh, will you fill out

313
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 2: a bracket now?

314
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: No?

315
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 3: I never do, I know, I know. I still I

316
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: still enjoyed that. I'm always pulling for the underdog. Okay,

317
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: so I'm always pulling for the lower seed or the

318
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 3: highest the higher seedy. That's how I look at it.

319
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: I want I want them to I love the Cinderella stories.

320
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 3: I think it brings more entertainment to the tournament. Uh.

321
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 3: If you have all number one seeds in the final four,

322
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: I mean okay, well.

323
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: That does usually lead to the better games.

324
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: It does. It does definitely better games, but still it's

325
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: like the best. You know, I love the mid majors

326
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 3: who are seating senior leyden and have been playing great basketball.

327
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 3: Like The big controversy was Miami Ohio almost in get

328
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 3: in because they lost in the opening round of their

329
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: tournament and they were thirty and zero during the regular

330
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: season and you know, it was like, what they don't

331
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 3: deserve what? I don't care if it's Division one, I

332
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 3: don't care what conference you play in. Win thirty games

333
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: is one of the hardest things to do on planet Earth.

334
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: So you know, I love the little guys.

335
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: They still do have to by the way, they got

336
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: to go to that. I love that they call it

337
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 2: the first four fourst four. Yeah, it's also known as

338
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 2: the playing tournament. But they're there, They're in there, They're there.

339
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: Here's here. Listen. I can prove it. I can win

340
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 2: this argument with one sentence. If you play before next Thursday,

341
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 2: you're in a playing tournament. The entire world is going

342
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 2: to get together and fill out a bracket, and the

343
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: games on Tuesday and Wednesday aren't in it. So don't

344
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,119
Speaker 2: tell me those are tournament games because they're not. They're not.

345
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: They're a money making entity.

346
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 3: But yes, with a chance to get in, like like, yes,

347
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: you're right, the play Yes, it's a play in.

348
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: That works. You know.

349
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna fight that. Yeah, you know. And speaking

350
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 3: of playing in, can we play in with our music?

351
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,199

00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 5: Team USA with pitcher Paul Skeins against the Dominican Republic,

356
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 5: who's starting pitcher as Luis Severino. These are star studded lineups.

357
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 5: The Americans are the visitors since they are not a

358
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 5: top seed for the Metal round. Let's put it that way.

359
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 5: You recall, the US just eked out a spot in

360
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 5: this weekend's games because Italy, excuse me, question mark did

361
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: them a favor. It is undefeated in the tournament. Yes,

362
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 5: Italy is five to Ozho eliminated Puerto Rico on Saturday

363
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 5: as well, eight to six in a game that was

364
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: eight two in the fourth. Italy has the other semi

365
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 5: final Monday night against Venezuela. Was upset Japan Saturday night

366
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 5: eight five after it had trailed five to two in

367
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 5: the third inning. Keep in mind for pitch counts for

368
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 5: the starters last night with Japan, for example, they had

369
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: the Dodgers Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the mound. He went four innings,

370
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 5: roughly seventy pitches. As I recall for Paul Skeens, it's

371
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 5: going to be about seventy five to eighty. It's March,

372
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 5: not September. For the Americans, after the first two guys

373
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 5: struck out, Aaron Judge single, Kyle Schwarber was hit by

374
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 5: a pitch, but then Gunner Henderson to the Orioles grounded

375
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 5: out and the US stranded to However, Paul Skeens got

376
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 5: the opponents one, two, three in the bottom of the first,

377
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,160
Speaker 5: including on Juan Soto's ground out to end the frame,

378
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 5: a great diving stop on the grass in short right

379
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,479
Speaker 5: field from gold Glover Bryce Terrang of the Brewers. Terrang

380
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: has just grounded into a double play though, to end

381
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 5: the top of the second, bottom of the second underway.

382
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: This is how ridiculously good the Dominican Republic lineup is.

383
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 5: They've already had their top three in the order bat

384
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 5: in the first inning. The guys that are batting here

385

387
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 5: in the tournament. Then Junior Camanaro, who had forty five

388
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,320

430
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: will reportedly re sign tight end Dallas Goddard and guys.

431
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 5: An interesting bit of hoops trivia that I ran across,

432
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 5: when's the last time the Big Ten had the national

433
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 5: champion in men's basketball? I looked it up. This conference

434
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 5: has had someone in the national title game nine times

435
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 5: this century. But the answer is you'd have to go

436
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 5: back to the year two thousand. Michigan State is the

437
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 5: last time the national champion was from this conference, and

438
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 5: before that, you'd have to go back to nineteen eighty

439
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: nine Michigan with coach Steve Fisher. So it has been

440
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 5: a while updating. I mentioned that the man has hit

441
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 5: a few home runs in his day. Junior Camanaro has

442
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 5: just hit it out and it's the Dominican Republic won

443
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 5: nothing over Team USA in the bottom of the second

444
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 5: inning in Miami.

445
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,679
Speaker 3: Back to you and.

446
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 2: Babies are being made. I'm just saying like it's one

447
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 2: nothing in the second inning. The entire team is on

448
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 2: the field, there are flags, there are coordinated, We've got

449
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: a piggyback ride. I mean, it is bedlam. One nothing

450
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 2: second inning.

451
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: Man, that was quick. Yeah, don't take long.

452
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 2: No, it doesn't not when you hit it over the fence.

453
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 3: I mean that lineup though, good, oh god, oh it's absurd.

454
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: You know. Steve was reading off some of the the

455
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: batting averages of the of the guys so far in

456
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: the tournament. I think, as a team, and I'm estimating,

457
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 2: I saw it somewhere, their team batting average is like

458
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: three forty or something. The whole team, the team batting

459
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 2: averages is well over three hundred. And you know, I

460
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 2: know we're talking about a small ish sample. But and

461
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: they're going against all star teams. That's the other thing.

462
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 2: They're playing against all star teams, and they're getting they're

463
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 2: getting a hit more than one and every three times

464
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 2: they go to the plate. That's unreal. Yep. So we'll

465
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 2: keep you up today. One nothing, Dominican bottom of the second.

466
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 2: Paul Skeins is throwing for Team USA. One other thing

467
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to throw out though, just because probably worth

468
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: a little bit of a belly laugh. Did you hear

469
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 2: Steve say, because this is happening at Madison Square Garden

470
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 2: right now, that what's left of the Warriors is going

471
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: against the New York Knicks. Did you see the active

472
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 2: roster for the Golden State Warriors tonight? Yes, there are

473
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 2: ten players who are active for the Warriors this evening.

474
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: Ten players, and I bet the average NBA fan has

475
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 2: maybe heard of two of them, maybe heard of two

476
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: of them.

477
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're winning right now.

478
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a wonderful first quarter trick. Ah. But yes,

479
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:18,160

Speaker 2: There's your roster, I know, GP two. Oh my goodness.

483
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, somehow they've got more points than the nixt

484
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 2: so long way to go. No, No, it's not it's

485
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: not working. I don't know if you've noticed. The Warriors

486
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: have lost a bunch of games.

487
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 3: Are in race still, Oh they'll be in.

488
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 2: The playing tournament. Oh that's locked. That's locked because there

489
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: are so many teams very very wonderful at tanking. Yeah,

490
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding. They are nine games clear of being

491
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 2: out of the play in tournament. Nine games clear. There's

492
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 2: only what do we got fourteen games left in the year. Yes, yeah,

493
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: so don't you worry about that. Now you're gonna get

494
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 2: playing tournament.

495
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 3: You get you. Steph will be back.

496
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: Yeah maybe.

497
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 3: Maybe Steph and and Seth.

498
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: And maybe he got hurt on Friday.

499
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 3: Stephan Seth, they'd be for the play in.

500
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 2: They'll haven't played a game together and has not happened

501
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: yet or.

502
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 3: Hey, or at least they get to sit next to

503
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 3: each other and stylish closed.

504
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: They do they do and that has to be fun

505
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: on roadies.

506
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: Room sure, oh she room bro.

507
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know if any be sharing a room

508
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 2: with Steph, but Joe possibly possibly. Uh Porzingis is playing

509
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: but but not tonight, not not back to backs and

510
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 2: they play again tomorrow.

511
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 3: So what what is do they chalk that up as

512
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 3: we're not gonna win this one soil we'll play in

513
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: the like I don't.

514
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 2: We kinda yeah, you got a few players on the

515
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: Warriors who don't do back to backs. Uh Porzingis at

516
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,760
Speaker 2: this point. Al Horford although he got actual will hurt

517
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: the other night and so he's out and then uh

518
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 2: Seth Curry was in that spot sometimes d Anthony Melton. Yeah,

519
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 2: they don't do back to back. So then you pick

520
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 2: one and they play at Washington tomorrow, so pick that one.

521
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: You're probably gonna win that one, maybe, I hope. So

522
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 2: NBA action fantastic, it is. Fan that's right. In a

523
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: month and a half, we be right where we want

524
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: to be. Uh well, you want to do the we thing,

525
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: y'all are doing just fine?

526
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 3: Oh no, we we cook it. Yeah, we got action

527
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: over here.

528
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: That was a fun little misfree throw last night.

529
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: But that was a good game. I mean, that was

530
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: that was It still shouldn't have come down to what

531
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 3: it was did, but you know, them being against the Nuggets,

532
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 3: who for whatever reason have our number in the worst way,

533
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 3: they showed up. They showed up and showed out and

534
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: I'm proud of them for playing well. And you know,

535
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 3: we'll talk about it a little bit later, you know,

536
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: as we really get into the weeds of the Lakers.

537
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: But you know, that's all I have to say about

538
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 3: that right now.

539
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, that's probably not all you have to say

540
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: about that, but just not right now, right now, Yeah,

541
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what coming up next. I do have

542
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: this question for you about the brackets, but it's not

543
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 2: a question about the brackets, because I'd like to ask

544
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 2: you about a team that's not brackets and has decided

545
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 2: not to be in any of the other brackets as well,

546
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: and that would be your San Diego State Aztecs. Have

547
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,000

572
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 2: head coach at San Diego State. He announced today since

573
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: the Aztecs did not make the Big Tournament, that San

574
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 2: Diego State will not be entered into any tournament because

575
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 2: the guys are kind of beat up, et cetera, worn

576
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: out all of that. Now, make no mistake. They would

577
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 2: have found a way to compete if they had been

578
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 2: in the Big Dance, but they're not, so they won't.

579
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 2: I'd love your thoughts.

580
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,360
Speaker 3: That doesn't surprise me at all, And it doesn't surprise

581
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: me because there's a standard and Brian Dutcher is carrying

582
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 3: on the legacy to Steve Fisher started at San Diego

583
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 3: State in nineteen ninety nine, Brian Dutcher being his assistant coach,

584
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: even back at Michigan Final four, I mean a Fab

585
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 3: five and all of that thing, and so like, you

586
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: have to earn things right. San Diego State a couple

587
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: of years ago played in the National Championship. They've been

588
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 3: to the Sweet sixteen, final fours, Elite eights. You have

589
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 3: to earn it, and they didn't earn it this year.

590
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 3: They lost games they had no business losing, and I

591
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: think the standard is the tournament, not a tournament, And

592
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 3: because they didn't live up to that standard, then they

593
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 3: get to work on, you know, completing that task next year.

594
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,719
Speaker 3: Opportunity in the last game of the year or the

595
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: second between the last game of the year, and opportunity

596
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 3: to win the outright conference title. And they lost to

597
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 3: a team that had no business losing to And so

598
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: coming down to stretch, I believe they lost three of

599
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 3: their last four or something, something that San Diego say

600
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 3: never does. And I even though the team is talented,

601
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: they just haven't played well together this year. And I

602
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 3: don't I believe he doesn't believe that they deserve to

603
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: be in the tournament unless it's the tournament, and I

604
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 3: agree with that.

605
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 2: I'm always confused by it though, because I don't know.

606
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm sort of in the hole, Like why not category

607
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: in camp? What's what's the bad thing that comes out

608
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 2: of playing? If you're banged up, play your other dudes,

609
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 2: get them some experience.

610
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 3: No, like the one thing this has been the deepest

611
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 3: San Diego State has ever been. I mean they can

612
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 3: play thirteen deep. Yeah, and so it's not the banged

613
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 3: of thing. That's just it sounds good. They were playing

614
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. We wouldn't even be having this conversation on Wednesday.

615
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 2: I like this even less than like when Notre Dame

616
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 2: said no thanks to a bowl game because it's not

617
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 2: the bowl game that we wanted. People were like, ew,

618
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: I got to be honest with you. I don't like it.

619
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do what you want, but I I like

620
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 2: San Diego. Basically, what you're telling me San Diego State

621
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 2: is above it. I don't agree.

622
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 3: I agree, and take the base out your voice when

623
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: you on the San Diego.

624
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: State save that Diego State.

625
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are above it.

626
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: No, you're not.

627
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 3: We are You're not obviously we are.

628
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: No, I mean you're allowed that you've got free will. Yeah,

629
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: so we're San Diego State. Is not Duke And by

630
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,439
Speaker 2: the way, I don't think Duke. I don't think Duke

631
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 2: is above it. What does that mean.

632
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 3: Duke wouldn't go to the UH to the n I T.

633
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 3: But why not? Because they set of goal. If you

634
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 3: don't reach the goal, you got to start preparing for

635
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 3: reaching the goal next year.

636
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: And I guess my first thing would be, so, how

637
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: do you and when do you start preparing for next year?

638
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: Now?

639
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 2: Great, then go play basketball?

640
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: No, why because most half the team won't be you know,

641
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 3: half team won't even be there. Well, a couple of

642
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 3: guys being a pro, some guys baby in a transfer portal,

643
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: great freshmen who aren't playing, who are red shirting and

644
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: will be in the lineup.

645
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: So then that's development. Why why are like you're developing?

646
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 2: You cannot sell me on a basketball You can't give

647
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 2: me a basketball reason why you wouldn't play all your

648
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 2: gain giving me is snooty petuty reason. There's no good reason.

649
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: The reason was a basketball.

650
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: Reason, Well, then there's no That's what you are in basketball.

651
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 3: Is they let it slip from their fingers and so

652
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,759
Speaker 3: so they took their ball and went home. No, I

653
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 3: think it's a message. Listen, listen, I think it's a

654
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,280
Speaker 3: message to the guys.

655
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: Hm. Hmmm, that sounds snooty Petuti to me, man, I

656
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: gotta be honest with you. We're not done sports. Well,

657
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: we're keeping an eye on that World Baseball Classic. We're

658
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: also keeping an eye on the brackets because for many

659
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:48,479
Speaker 2: of us, this is when we first sit down, look

660
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: at him, try to figure out what upsets we like.

661
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: By the way, by the way, I have a word

662
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:59,319

678
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: I would argue that most people mess up their March

679
00:41:53,600 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 2: Madness bracket because they're out there looking for upsets. Everybody

680
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: wants to be like I have Hofstra beating Alabama. It's like, okay,

681
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: that's that's one point. But don't you think that's the

682
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: mistake that most people make and filling out a bracket.

683
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: Too many upsets and too many rando teams going too far.

684
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 2: That's the mistake I think people make. Well, that's why

685
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: they give you a million dollars if you get it right.

686
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 2: Amen to that. Amen to that. You got to be

687
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 2: on some real.

688
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 3: Uh biff from uh from uh back to the future

689
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 3: sports Almanac type stuff to get it all right.

690
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 2: Well, even then you could know everything. You can't predict

691
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: sixty three basketball games correctly in a row.

692
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 3: No, that's why I'm doing. That's what I'm saying. Like

693
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 3: you would have that in the almanac. It has the brackets,

694
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: so it has all the winners, the scores and all

695
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 3: of that, and so you just you know, you come

696
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: in and you copy it down. You could do it

697
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,959
Speaker 3: for every year I got.

698
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 2: I got nothing against Fox Sports Radio, dot Com or

699
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 2: any of the other outlets that provide this one million

700
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: dollar thing. You should be offering one billion.

701
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 3: You should, I think, wasn't uh Rupert Murdoch or somebody

702
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 3: offering a billion dollars for the perfect UH bracket something

703
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 3: crazy like that?

704
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:39,279
Speaker 2: Maybe you could offer one trillion, like you're not you.

705
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 2: I don't think that's doable.

706
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 3: Warren Buffett was doing it. Yes, he was offering a

707
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 3: billion dollars.

708
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 2: I actually would love And this would take some serious,

709
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:57,840
Speaker 2: like whacked out mathematician. But mathematically, which chances are better

710
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,439
Speaker 2: hitting the powerball? Would they always tell you you're more

711
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: likely to get hit by lightning. I guarantee you're more

712
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 2: likely to get hit by lightning than go sixty three?

713
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,800
Speaker 2: And oh in the March Madness tournament too, Like what,

714
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 2: what's got a better chance? And I know that it

715
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: sounds like a stupid question. The thought that goes through

716
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: our mind is, oh, well, I would think that the

717
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 2: bracket is more likely than hitting powerball. But people hit

718
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 2: powerball every two to three weeks. You ever know anybody,

719
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: you ever heard of anybody getting a perfect bracket? Okay,

720
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: I think you're more likely to hit the powerball.

721
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 3: Yeah I would. I would say, yes.

722
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 2: That's but if you hit powerball, you get like a

723
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty million dollars.

724
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: That's true.

725
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,399
Speaker 2: Git this. People are like, we'll give you one, We'll

726
00:44:55,440 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 2: give you one. It seems seems a load of me,

727
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 2: that's all I'm saying.

728
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's one of those things where you know,

729
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 3: luck the universe, everything has to be to be all in,

730
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: you know, very rare, not gonna happen, good luck.

731
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 2: I do believe that we have a scoreboard update in

732
00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: the World Baseball class. It would appear that Gunner Henderson

733
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 2: has just put the ball into the seats off of

734
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 2: Louis Severino and we've got ourselves a tie game and

735
00:45:37,800 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 2: right on Q Team USA. Okay, big big fist bumps

736
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 2: by Gunner, A couple of people there to high five him,

737
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 2: a couple of taps on the helmet, couple of woos,

738
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 2: and the dugout, no piggyback rides.

739
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 3: That's funny.

740
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 2: Fun, no flags, no horns. When you a horn section,

741
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:06,320
Speaker 2: we need streamers and we're gonna need people hugging and

742
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: kissing in the stands. I didn't I didn't see quite enough.

743
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: Good game though, top of the fourth one to one.

744
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: Wouldn't it wouldn't it be great if more baseball games

745
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 2: felt like this? Though?

746
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would. It would almost add another one one

747
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 3: sot track that thing down?

748
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 2: Yep? That was it? Well, all right, well we'll keep

749
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: you up to date on that. Are you Are we

750
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: all good on San Diego State or did we need

751
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 2: to talk out more? Okay? Good?

752
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 3: I think we're good.

753
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: I mean we could we see that one differently. We

754
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 2: see that one differently, and I hope that you understand

755
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 2: that's what like? Okay, you didn't like the bass in

756
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 2: my voice when I said San Diego State. I would

757
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 2: say it to to Duke and Kansas as well. I

758
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 2: would say it to Arizona. It just about out there

759
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: and play basketball. How is that not productive for your team?

760
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: I just try to Like, honestly, I would love to

761
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 2: interview the athletic department at San Diego State to understand

762
00:47:15,200 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 2: what is what's the downside, what's the reasoning if it's

763
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:26,760
Speaker 2: not ego, what could it be. There's a genuine question.

764
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: It's filling your team didn't earn postseason play. That's a

765
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 3: real thing. Like if you look, I'm sure he's had

766
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: the conversation with him. You've now put yourselves in a

767
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 3: situation where you have to win the Mountain West Tournament

768
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:56,239
Speaker 3: to get in and if you don't, you get what

769
00:47:56,280 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: you get. Yeah, they didn't then an opportunity to be

770
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 3: Utah's eight. They didn't championship game.

771
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: Okayatday this this is gonna sound like a really bad analogy,

772
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 2: but all I can do is express it because this

773
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: is how that's landing with me, and I'm open to

774
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 2: you talking me out of it. But Lebron James and

775
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 2: Steph Curry have both in the last handful of years,

776
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 2: some of them multiple times played in the play in tournament.

777
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 2: Should the Warriors and Lakers have been like, didn't get

778
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 2: a top six seed, so we didn't earn this? Because no,

779
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 2: it's different, not really floating our boat.

780
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 3: It's different. Why I mean, yes, it is because because

781
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 3: they changed seven and eight, and like you gotta remember,

782
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: the Lakers have never been nine or ten in the

783
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 3: play in they've never been nine or ten. Sure, so

784
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 3: the top eight in each conference go to the playoffs

785
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 3: until the play in started, right, So no, if you're

786
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 3: in seventh or if you're in eighth, you've earned the

787
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 3: right to the playoff. Now they added they implemented the

788
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 3: play in, which for fans, added more excitement. But the

789
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 3: fact of the matter is if they were to ten

790
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 3: seed and they were like we saw Dallas was like,

791
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,959
Speaker 3: you know, let's not even get to the play let's

792
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 3: not get to the ten seed so we can have

793
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 3: an opportunity to be in the lottery.

794
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,479
Speaker 2: Right, But they but they showed up for the game,

795
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 2: you know.

796
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 3: What I mean, That's what I'm saying, Like you're you're,

797
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 3: you're you're like, that's part of the seed, that's part

798
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 3: of the Once you're they couldn't say, no, we're not playing.

799
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 2: You're not allowed to. I mean, this is and that's

800
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: why it's a bad analogy. And I admit that, like

801
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: it's the NBA, I understand that. But by the same token,

802
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 2: like that's how that's landing with me, which is on

803
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 2: some level, certain teams, if not granted the playoff spot

804
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: they want, eh, they're above it. And I don't. I

805
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 2: I just I don't. I don't get that. I don't

806
00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:23,760
Speaker 2: get that. You know, if the Patriots under Tom Brady

807
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 2: got a wild card, should they should they not go?

808
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 2: We're only here for division championships. M I don't know, Honestly,

809
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,360
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to understand. And I know I know

810
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 2: how you feel about San Diego State, but but San

811
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 2: Diego State has been an elite program for a very

812
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 2: short period of time outside of Kawhi Leonard's time there. Agreed, Yes, okay,

813
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: so it's hitting. It's it's hitting. Even stranger that San

814
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 2: Diego State would feel that way to me.

815
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Brian was upset with the way the

816
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: guys closed out the season because if I'm telling you, hey,

817
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 3: look at what it was. It was a three way

818
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 3: log jam for the top seed, and they let it slip.

819
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 3: Uh the USA two to one Sports update to one.

820
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 2: Do to one to one to one indeed, So.

821
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 3: I think he was like, you, this is what you earned.

822
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 3: I'm look, I'm okay with that, man. If y'all all

823
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 3: the talent they had, they had, the defensive Player of

824
00:51:55,280 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 3: the year, they had, you know, the nation's leading bench

825
00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 3: scored the whole nine yards and aiden closed the deal.

826
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: Then we're closing the season.

827
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 2: Hmm. Interesting. Yeah, that one that I found an eye opening.

828
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 2: And again I'm like, that's what I'm chasing. I would

829
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 2: love to ask someone, what what is the downside to

830
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 2: playing in the n I T? You know what I mean?

831
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,640
Speaker 2: It sounds to me like you're saying like you don't

832
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 2: want to reward those guys. I don't think that playing

833
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,320
Speaker 2: in the n i T is that much of a reward.

834
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 2: But if not a reward, if I'm the coach of

835
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:40,680
Speaker 2: that team, I'm like, yeah, more basketball. Sounds like we

836
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 2: got crap to work on. Don't you get extra practices

837
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: and things like that? When you accept an invite to

838
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: the n i T.

839
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 3: No starts tomorrow?

840
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,719
Speaker 2: Yeah right a gamekeep keep playing, You keep playing for

841
00:52:56,719 --> 00:53:03,839
Speaker 2: a few more weeks if you win. So anyway, with

842
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 2: them out, what exactly is your relationship to this tournament? Now?

843
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:19,359
Speaker 3: I love basketball, and I love basketball, that's fact. I mean,

844
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 3: I love watching the whole spectacle of March Madness. I

845
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 3: think it's amazing. I get to see teams that I

846
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 3: would have never watched ever. Yep, I think that's the

847
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 3: good part about it. We all get to watch teams

848
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 3: that we didn't even know was a school.

849
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: That's a funny way to say it, right, Like you,

850
00:53:44,360 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 2: it does feel like every year's school. They're like, I'm sorry,

851
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 2: what do those letters stand for? What is this?

852
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

853
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: It's two directions in this in this two directions, I

854
00:53:55,040 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 2: mean I'm scrolling through. We got Kennesaw State. Queen is

855
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: in it this year.

856
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:01,560

00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 2: they ain't even that bad. Arizona's got Long Island. Arizona

00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: might be I think that.

861
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 3: Might be the team, Arizona.

862
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 2: I think Arizona might be the team.

863
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you.

Speaker 2: Long way to go, but they will.

873
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 3: That's the thing I love about Golden State.

874
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 2: I will tell you this because I, as you know,

875
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,240
Speaker 2: I watched the It's my job to watch these guys

Speaker 2: I don't know how much talent is out there, but

878
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: they will play hard.

879
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 3: Alberto, the coach for one of the managers for the

880
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 3: Puerto Rican team, looked like he eight Albert Pools.

881
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 2: That was random, funny and very mean spirit.

882
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:40,799
Speaker 3: It was not because okay, he was playing. He was

883
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: his last few years in Anaheim. He was looking the

884
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,960
Speaker 3: same way.

885
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 2: It's a big man, that's a large human.

886
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 3: Indeed, he just walked out to the mound. I was like,

887
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 3: wait a.

888
00:55:55,400 --> 00:56:01,720

890

891
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: something pretty interesting about the quarterback dynamic with the Minnesota

892

912
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 2: about to unfold, and the uh, the good old US

913
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 2: is up two to one in this baseball game against

914
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 2: Albert Polholz and the Dominican Republic. What's that? Laugh? What?

915

Speaker 2: What's no?

916
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 3: I think this game is exciting? Who doesn't? I mean,

917
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 3: we had a whole first segment on you know, even

918
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 3: when even even you saying, oh the US just hit

919
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 3: another home run, they're just shaking hands like a good job,

920
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: and no, I think it's exciting these powerhouses are battling.

921
00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:21,360
Speaker 2: I am not suggesting otherwise. I'm not suggesting otherwise. I

922
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: what I am suggesting, I am in agreement with you,

923
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 2: and I am wishing, in fact, that we as Americans

924
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 2: do how to get down like the Dominicans or the Venezuelans.

925
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 2: Like I'm just gonna say it. This is cool, isn't it.

926
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 2: I can say this. They know how to party at

927
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 2: a baseball game. We don't.

928
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 3: They do, we don't.

929
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 2: We don't. And it's fun. It's fun, It is very fun.

930
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 2: But I like, I actually think this is emblematic of

931
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 2: a much bigger issue with the way we fan as Americans.

932
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what this sort of cis, this cynicism

933
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 2: thing that has sort of happened. I don't know if

934
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 2: we know too much about the business of sports. I

935
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: don't know what it is. I am still at my

936
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:17,160
Speaker 2: age able to watch this stuff like the wide eyed

937
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 2: little kid that I used to be. You're never ever

938
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 2: gonna hear me come on these airwaves and be like,

939
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 2: there's too much sports. Shorten the season, shorten the games.

940
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 2: I'm bored the whole damn sport put in a pitch

941
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 2: clock for you people, which is great. I'm not against

942
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 2: the pitch clock unless I'm at the damn concession trying

943
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 2: to get a hot dog and I missed three innings.

944
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 2: I unless I'm stuck in traffic and I'm late to

945
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 2: the game by a half hour and I get there

946
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 2: and they're in the fifth. But I don't know, man,

947
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I don't know what's going on.

948
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 2: The World Baseball Classic, to me is absolutely It is

949
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 2: a quick, couple week long snapshot of some of the

950
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: stuff we do. And I'm in the business of people

951
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: loving sports, so maybe I'm biased, but I really do.

952
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: I I really do. Sometimes just want to pull people

953
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 2: aside and be like, are you okay? You don't have

954
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: to be here. No one made you come to this,

955
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 2: no one made you turn it on. But this is

956
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 2: how a lot of as a lot of American viewers

957
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 2: and listeners get down. It just is. You know it,

958
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 2: you hear it. If you don't go check Twitter. Everybody

959
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: hates everything everything. We're just in a divisive time right now,

960
01:00:54,040 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 2: I guess, but we are, well, no, there's no doubt

961
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 2: about that.

962
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 3: But believe that we love Yeah, movies. All that movie sucks.

963
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to watch that. We're so the device

964
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 3: of it's it's things that are so like it's almost

965
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 3: hard to find the joy in anything. You wake up

966
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 3: choosing violence, and not physical violence, just mental violence.

967
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 2: But how often do you hear people say that sports

968
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 2: is their escape from it.

969
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 3: It's supposed to be, Oh, who's playing this stupid world?

970
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 3: By I don't nobody in the NBA is playing. It's

971
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 3: just stupid. Like it's every's like, watch.

972
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 2: The game man, get a beer, get a get some nachos,

973
01:01:39,720 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 2: get cheese, sauce on your favorite shirt. And I'm not

974
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 2: trying to milk and cookie you. I don't want you

975
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 2: don't need to love everything you don't. But there's something

976
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 2: I actually think, I actually think what we're talking about.

977
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 2: You want to know what a great example of it

978
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 2: is Lebron James and his entire career. You know, we

979
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 2: got Tyreek Hills out here, like committing actual crimes, committing

980
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: actual crimes, doing bad things to women and to his

981
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 2: family and all of that. But we're mad at Lebron

982
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 2: because we didn't like his TV show and we didn't

983
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 2: like that he flops sometimes and sometimes you just don't

984
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: like the way he talks. I don't know, man, but

985
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,120

Speaker 2: in this baseball game, and I love that about you.

1065
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,560
Speaker 5: It is reminding me of October baseball.

1066
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that when you said that you

1067
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 2: were really nervous because the bases were loaded. I was like,

1068
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: who's more nervous right now? Is it? Is it Steve

1069
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 2: or is it the Seattle Mariners, Because like, yes, I

1070
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 2: think that that's something also, like let's just admit this.

1071
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 2: That's something that goes through maybe largely the American fans mind.

1072
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 2: I don't know. I can't speak for all fans, but

1073
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 2: when we get to these international events, sometimes thought number

1074
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: one is okay, favorite player on my team, don't get hurt.

1075
01:07:55,640 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 5: At the last World Baseball Classic, the Mets closer was

1076
01:07:58,680 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 5: injured celebrating, talked about the Latino country celebrating this cost them, Diaz,

1077
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,479
Speaker 5: they was not the same for the year after that entry.

1078
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:10,440
Speaker 2: Well he probably just got a little cheaper for the

1079
01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: Dodgers the uh the next time around.

1080
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 5: But now he's still dominated last year.

1081
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I know three fair enough. But you know

1082
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like here we are going, Oh no,

1083
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 2: the bases are loaded enough. I'm the Mariners. I'm like,

1084
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 2: excuse me, Julio Rodriguez's hand might have just broken, right, So,

1085
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 2: like ya, Dominican, but hold on, what about our incredibly

1086
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 2: huge investment, important important player.

1087
01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:46,839
Speaker 3: Speaking of Olympics too, for sure, yeah.

1088
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 2: For sure. I like, I famously did a whole show

1089
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 2: before the last Olympics and and begged Steph Curry to

1090
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 2: not go. And then he won a gold medal for

1091
01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 2: everybody literally yeah, well no, but he hit the shot, yeah, shots,

1092
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 2: all of them shots. Yeah, he wanted by himself, but

1093
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: I didn't want him to go. I'm like, dude, glad

1094
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 2: he went as an America.

1095
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:16,520
Speaker 3: Alsopatriot marks so unpatriotic.

1096
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:21,040
Speaker 2: So unpatriotic, very very narcissistic point.

1097
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 5: Because you wanted him healthy for for.

1098
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 2: You the playing tournament Steve. That's what playing Steve. We

1099
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:32,200
Speaker 2: got Steve, we got a nine seed to protect over here.

1100
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 5: This isn't twenty sixteen. I'm glad he play. Oh, Aaron

1101
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 5: Judge just crushed one.

1102
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 3: Oh, Sophie, go leap. Oh he got it.

1103
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 2: He stole he stole it. Wow, that that sounded like

1104
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 2: play by play to me. I don't know about yo

1105
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 2: was what that was? Pretty well? I guess uh, I guess.

1106
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 3: I guess his is okay, right, I guess his hand

1107
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 3: is all right, but Pierce, his hand is okay.

1108
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:04,200
Speaker 2: That was a fun little interaction there. Aaron kind of

1109
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 2: looked at him like, okay, dude, nice play he did.

1110
01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: He did.

1111
01:10:11,520 --> 01:10:13,160
Speaker 5: If that had gone to any other part of the

1112
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:17,040
Speaker 5: any other part instead of the center field wall.

1113
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 2: What a catch and that, truly that was gone. If

1114
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't catch it? What a what a play? What

1115
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 2: to play?

1116
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 1: No?

1117
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the vibe, the action, it's a it's absolutely incredible.

1118
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 2: But but you know what that just made me think

1119
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 2: of and I like y'all can both weigh in on this,

1120
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 2: Aaron giving him a little bit of a like, hey,

1121
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:44,759
Speaker 2: how you doing? Nice play? I think there's also something

1122
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 2: tucked in there where judges like I played for the Yankees,

1123
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 2: and that's what theol Rodriguez he plays for the Mariners.

1124
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 2: But for some reason, and I actually I'm really glad

1125
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: that this just happened, because I wanted to ask you

1126
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:02,479
Speaker 2: about the whole cal Raley thing that's going on where

1127
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:08,559
Speaker 2: he will not acknowledge the existence of teammates of his

1128
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 2: that are playing for other countries when they come to

1129
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 2: the plate and try to give him a pound or whatever,

1130
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 2: and he just like it turned into that hole a

1131
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:18,719
Speaker 2: Rosea raina thing.

1132
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 5: Which would be Julia Rodriguez tonight, except they have a

1133
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 5: different catcher today in the lineup.

1134
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, what do you think about that?

1135
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 3: He? Man? Remember what Kobe Bryant. Remember what Kobe Bryant

1136
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 3: did to Palagasol.

1137
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that was in the game. You're telling me

1138
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:36,520
Speaker 2: that if power had gone over to Kobe pre game.

1139
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 3: No shot, he wouldn't have shopped him up, no shot.

1140
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:48,360
Speaker 3: Really Okay, before the game, that's when Kobe Bryant was like,

1141
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 3: I know what's coming, I'm running correct. That was that

1142
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:55,600
Speaker 3: he wasn't gonna dap him up like hey buddy and

1143
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 3: then go run down his No, he was locked in

1144
01:11:58,080 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 3: in that moment like Nobe.

1145
01:12:00,120 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm I'm just saying that

1146
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 2: they like Okay, cal Rawley is also not Kobe Bryant.

1147
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,560
Speaker 3: The mindset is the mindset.

1148
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 2: Is it? Is it?

1149
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:13,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1150
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 2: That really?

1151
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 3: I'm okay. You know I never I never questioned how

1152
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 3: someone is on the verge of competing. Never, okay, never.

1153
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 3: I never do that because everybody has their thing. If

1154
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 3: he needs that to lock in, I have no problem

1155
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 3: with it whatsoever. Some guys can we talk about it

1156
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 3: all the time in the NBA. The guys know each

1157
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 3: other too much. They's too friendly. A bunch of grab

1158
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:42,600
Speaker 3: asking it before the game and paddy cake and handshakes

1159
01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 3: it and and like you know, specialty handshakes and all that.

1160
01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just want somebody to I just want to

1161
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 3: beat your face off right now in this game.

1162
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 2: So I'm okay with that. Okay, Okay. Some of it

1163
01:12:57,320 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 2: is circumstantial. It strikes me as odd. It strikes me

1164
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 2: as odd because it's baseball. It strikes me as odd

1165
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 2: because it's cal Raley. I don't I don't know cal

1166
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 2: Rawley to be like that, but I don't know that

1167
01:13:14,760 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 2: I've seen cal Raley in some sort of comparable situation either.

1168
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean, well, now we know he's like that,

1169
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 3: so in the next time, I guess now we know

1170
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 3: what to look out for. It looks like the Nicks

1171
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 3: woke up as fifty eight to fifty two Golden State.

1172
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 2: It's a it's about to be sixty one fifty two.

1173
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 2: I hope that wasn't a spoiler alert, but oh yeah,

1174
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 2: spoiler alert, yeah splash anyway, Yeah, Warriors by nine early

1175
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:48,400
Speaker 2: third quarter. But no, I'm telling you it's it's a

1176
01:13:48,439 --> 01:13:51,920
Speaker 2: long way to go, a very very long way to go. Okay,

1177
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 2: that's it from a Mark. Let's get to the Kyler

1178
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,240

1186
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 2: A lot of them are involving Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge

1187
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 2: hit what would have been a home run rob By

1188
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,839
Speaker 2: Rodriguez in center field, Judge also has an outfield assists

1189
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 2: cutting down Fernando Tatis Junior at third base with an

1190
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 2: absolute seed. You're not wrong, dude. This is awesome, awesome theater.

1191
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:43,200
Speaker 2: So I'm just not about to pooh poo it, but

1192
01:14:43,320 --> 01:14:45,680

1205
01:15:29,240 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 2: who's the Vikings starting quarterback? JJ McCarthy or Kyler Murray?

1206
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray?

1207
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 2: Okay, why is that so definitive for you?

1208
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 3: Because JJ McCarthy isn't good.

1209
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:52,440
Speaker 2: That was amazing, Okay, Okay, I mean, am I allowed

1210
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 2: to give the cardinals opinion on this?

1211
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 3: Sure?

1212
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:57,120
Speaker 2: Neither's Kyler Murray.

1213
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:02,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's better than JJ McCarthy.

1214
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 2: Okay, And I think that's fair. At this moment, Kyler

1215
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:10,000
Speaker 2: has had five or six years to to be what

1216
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 2: he is. JJ McCarthy's had one. Is that fair?

1217
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 3: I thought? I think they had buyers are more right

1218
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 3: away with JJ McCarthy, So I don't think there's a

1219
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:25,519
Speaker 3: belief there.

1220
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 2: Wow, they didn't have it right away enough. They had

1221
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 2: it right away, they had kept Sam Darnold right.

1222
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 3: But I think I think they thought, okay, they didn't

1223
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 3: see what they did. Now you gotta You also have

1224
01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 3: to keep in mind they've seen all of it. We

1225
01:16:43,880 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 3: only get to see bits and pieces and hear bits

1226
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 3: and pieces. We only have the game film to look

1227
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 3: at and things like that. But they they see it all.

1228
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 3: They see it in practice, they see it in OTA's,

1229
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 3: they see it in the classroom, they see at every where.

1230
01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:04,120
Speaker 3: And when you go this hard, and it's not like

1231
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 3: they went hard. They went and got a starter and

1232
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,799
Speaker 3: a former number one pick to come in and compete

1233
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:20,480
Speaker 3: with JJ McCarthy. I mean, there's a term in football,

1234
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 3: the writings on the wall, right, like all these things

1235
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 3: sure are leading towards you not gonna be the guy,

1236
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:34,720
Speaker 3: then you're probably not gonna be the guy.

1237
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 2: Now.

1238
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:38,680
Speaker 3: Kylin Murray is on a one year deal for minimum

1239
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 3: because Arizona's still paying him, but thirty six thirty seven

1240
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:47,920
Speaker 3: million dollars, so he's an approved year and most guys

1241
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 3: improve it years, try to add a little bit more

1242
01:17:50,680 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 3: money to their pocket after having a great year. Now

1243
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 3: with Justin Jefferson, with Addison, with those weapons that they

1244
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 3: have there, I mean, Kyler Murray can't do it here. Hey, brother,

1245
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 3: I don't know what to tell you, right, And and

1246
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 3: all Sam Donald did was make it impossible for someone

1247
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 3: to come and suck in Minnesota. So if you can't

1248
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:15,320
Speaker 3: get it done, and I think this is the knock

1249
01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 3: on JJ McCarthy with what they have there, then ooh,

1250
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 3: this might not be this, this, this might not be

1251
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 3: it for you.

1252
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 2: I know, But dude, how how many times this would

1253
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 2: be an interesting thing to look at? How many times

1254
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 2: has somebody been picked at the quarterback position the top

1255
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 2: ten yep in the top ten Okay, and you get

1256
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:44,120
Speaker 2: one year. Well, you get one year to play. That's it.

1257
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's changed that the whole You would be better

1258
01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 3: off not playing for two years, three years.

1259
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt, because that's what happened the first.

1260
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 2: You were able to kind of look at it and

1261
01:18:57,800 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 2: be like, he might.

1262
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 3: Be good with the talent that Minnesota and the coaching

1263
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 3: staff that Minnesota has. Right, they're looking at it. Well,

1264
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 3: brock Party was able to come in and go to

1265
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl NFC Championship game. Right, Those that level

1266
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 3: of level of coaching and roster are the same. They

1267
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 3: mirror each other, okay, right, San Francisco and Vikings coaching.

1268
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 3: Sam Donald went to San Francisco, got a shot at

1269
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 3: the Vikings and excelled. But he hearkens back to his

1270
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:35,840
Speaker 3: time in San Francisco. So if JJ McCarthy is there

1271
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,679
Speaker 3: and he's not taking steps or leaps that they thought

1272
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 3: he should have, and then I get it. I understand that,

1273
01:19:42,960 --> 01:19:43,679
Speaker 3: so do I.

1274
01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 2: Look, I'm with you. I heard whispers during camp last

1275
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 2: year that they were like oops, and McCarthy hadn't even

1276
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 2: played a game yet. He had not even played a

1277
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 2: game yet, And I heard whispers that they that the

1278
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 2: coaching staff was like, uh oh, this isn't this isn't

1279
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 2: what we.

1280
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:06,600
Speaker 3: Want to be and this this, you know, this solidifies

1281
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:11,120
Speaker 3: that because they went out and got him soon as

1282
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 3: he was available.

1283
01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:18,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did, but I also I mean put it

1284
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 2: this way, we already know they made a major mistake

1285
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,679
Speaker 2: and now they run the risk of.

1286
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:28,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't cost him anything though, well for either quarterback.

1287
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 2: Except for your your once you move on from JJ,

1288
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know if you can come back.

1289
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 2: And it's not like Kyler's the long.

1290
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:35,719
Speaker 3: Term going nowhere.

1291
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 2: But we can get into this a little bit more

1292
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 2: as we continue. You're listening to sports into the night

1293
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 2: we go and into the late innings we go. World

1294
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 2: Baseball Classic has our eyes first and foremost. Top of

1295
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 2: the six USA at back and leading two to one,

1296
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 2: two out's nobody on. So this has already been filled

1297
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 2: with some dramatic moments, but we're keeping it close, low scoring.

1298
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 2: This is a hell of a baseball game. We're broadcasting

1299
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,320
Speaker 2: live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Tell you more

1300
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 2: about the Fox Sports Radio Bracket Challenge in just a bit.

1301
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,840
Speaker 2: As the brackets are now out and you heard Steve

1302
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:19,959
Speaker 2: say Duke is the number one overall seed, Michigan, Florida,

1303
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,799
Speaker 2: Arizona the other number one seeds. As we get ready

1304
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 2: to print, scribble, click and enter as a nation throughout

1305
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 2: the next four days. Glad you're with us here on

1306
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Hey, while we were talking in some NFL,

1307
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,679
Speaker 2: I wanted to hear your thoughts on this one too.

1308
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 2: So I'm sure you saw that Dallas Goddard re signs

1309
01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 2: with the Philadelphia Eagles. That was loosely and sort of

1310
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:56,160
Speaker 2: maybe affected by and connected to whatever the Eagles might

1311
01:21:56,200 --> 01:22:00,560
Speaker 2: do with AJ Brown. It sounds like trading would be

1312
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,680
Speaker 2: much more financially viable if they wait until June. But

1313
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 2: we'll see. Situation is considered fluid. And my eyebrows went

1314
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 2: up when I heard who one of the leading pursuers

1315
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 2: of AJ Brown was and is, and it is reportedly

1316
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams. So tell me what your immediate

1317
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 2: thought is when a team that has Pooka Nakua and

1318
01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:33,840
Speaker 2: Davante Adams chases AJ Brown. What's your first thought?

1319
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 3: They stacking the deck like they did the last time

1320
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:37,559
Speaker 3: they won the Super Bowl.

1321
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 2: Hmm.

1322
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 3: Now me, personally, don't do it. You wouldn't do it.

1323
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 3: No talk to me. No, I think I think Polka

1324
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 3: is definitely a number one receiver. So does AJ Brown

1325
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:56,240
Speaker 3: come in and is a number two. I don't think

1326
01:22:56,280 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 3: Aj Brown's coming in to be a number two anywhere

1327
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 3: he goes. I just mindset wise, I don't think that's possible.

1328
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 3: And so now the problem. The difference is you got

1329
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 3: a quarterback who can sling it all over the yard.

1330
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 3: It won't be a situation where it's eighty two passing

1331
01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:19,799
Speaker 3: yards in the game. That's not gonna happen with Matthew Stafford.

1332
01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:23,479
Speaker 3: All right, there are plenty of balls to go around

1333
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 3: with the quarterback who's a prolific passer like Matthew. Uh.

1334
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,840
Speaker 3: It's just what it does to your locker room. I

1335
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:36,120
Speaker 3: don't like I'm still stuck on the book thing. Yeah,

1336
01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 3: I hear you, like, I'll never as a former player,

1337
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 3: I've never even that was wild to me and people

1338
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 3: made wellness. He's working on his mental health. Hey, brother,

1339
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 3: go do that in the locker room. I'm an advocate

1340
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 3: for mental health. But you can't spend the fact that

1341
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 3: you were disappointed and pouting and deciding to read on

1342
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:05,760
Speaker 3: your working on yourself. You don't work on yourself on

1343
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 3: the sideline in a football game. That's crazy. I called

1344
01:24:11,000 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 3: him the therapist from the sideline. So he lost me

1345
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 3: there as a former player, and I don't I don't

1346
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:25,760
Speaker 3: know how you. I mean, he's done nothing to redeem that.

1347
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 2: And in my opinion, no actually having work with you

1348
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 2: every weekend since that happened. And that was not this

1349
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,759
Speaker 2: last season, it was the season before. I would argue,

1350
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 2: he's done a bunch of stuff that has made you

1351
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 2: question him even.

1352
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 3: More, even more.

1353
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:51,280
Speaker 2: Correct right, And and that's largely the passive aggressive nature

1354
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:56,720
Speaker 2: of the questioning of Jalen Hurts, questioning of the offensive coordinator,

1355
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 2: run game, pass game. Now, look with the way things

1356
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 2: played out in Philly, and they did move on from

1357
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 2: their offensive coordinator, and they did get upset in the

1358
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 2: first round of the playoffs at home. I think that

1359
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 2: there might be some Philadelphia Eagle watchers who go aj

1360
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 2: kind of has a point. I don't know even if

1361
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 2: he does have a point, if he went about it

1362
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 2: the right way. I've heard rumblings Andante, yeah, I've heard

1363
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,760
Speaker 2: blumblings that DeVante Smith feels the same way. But you

1364
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 2: don't hear him. You don't hear him, and you don't

1365
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:37,880
Speaker 2: see him. So what's fascinating to me is the second

1366
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 2: I brought up the Rams potentially going to get AJ Brown,

1367
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 2: your mind went to Pooka Nakua, which is a very

1368
01:25:49,160 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 2: fair place for it to go. But I think that

1369
01:25:51,439 --> 01:25:56,599
Speaker 2: most people's minds immediately goes to Devonte Adams. As you're

1370
01:25:56,680 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 2: talking about pecking order and I'm talking about who's on

1371
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 2: the roster. You don't. You're not having all three of them. No,

1372
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 2: that's a no. That's a no. Now, Davante is thirty

1373
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 2: three six months older than Mike Evans, who just had

1374
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:20,599
Speaker 2: a whole week of being complimented as an all time great,

1375
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:25,280
Speaker 2: who's still playing at a high level. So's Davante. Why

1376
01:26:25,320 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 2: would the Rams move on from that? I okay, thirty

1377
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:34,439
Speaker 2: three years old, but did something happen last year that

1378
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:39,800
Speaker 2: would suggest he's cooked some injuries late? But who doesn't

1379
01:26:39,800 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 2: get hurt late? And even just that locker room presence.

1380
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 2: To go from DeVante Adams to AJ Brown, you're going

1381
01:26:49,360 --> 01:27:02,840
Speaker 2: from the most professional to those among the least, I'd argue.

1382
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, you yeah, I mean you make a great point,

1383
01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 3: an unbelievable point. You want to take the consummate pro

1384
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:17,560
Speaker 3: out of the locker room and bring in entitled, self indulged,

1385
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 3: borderline disrespectful. It's a great player, great player, take anything

1386
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 3: away from what he does on the field.

1387
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 2: Dude. McVeigh and Stafford have enough cachet that AJ wouldn't like.

1388
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 2: None of that stuff could ever come to the surface.

1389
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,360
Speaker 2: That's it's gonna come to the maybe. I mean, that's

1390
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 2: different than Jalen Hurts and the offensive system of the Eagles.

1391
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 2: That's different Sean McVay and Matt Stafford. You're gonna come

1392
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 2: in and wave them up.

1393
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 3: That's hard to do, but it and be done.

1394
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: It's your can.

1395
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 3: If if you don't have the wherewithal in the sense

1396
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,519
Speaker 3: eighty five to ninety uh knicks up.

1397
01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 2: Oh don't don't, don't worry. I'm aware.

1398
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 3: Okay, Yes it was. It was a fight. They were fighting.

1399
01:28:15,280 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 2: This is not over yet.

1400
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 3: No, it's not.

1401
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:20,720
Speaker 2: No, But that's why I kept saying it's not over,

1402
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 2: not over yet.

1403
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:27,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. I just think, you know, what are you giving

1404
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 3: up for the added value? That's what I would ask,

1405
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 3: What are you giving up for the added value? And

1406
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 3: what are you taking on? What you don't like it?

1407
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 3: And it depends on the Pooka's gonna get the ball. Period.

1408
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 3: Pooka's getting the ball, and is AJ Brown gonna be

1409
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:05,200
Speaker 3: okay with that? Or is he gonna feel like I

1410
01:29:05,240 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 3: could be used.

1411
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:12,240
Speaker 2: More m that's see. You add his name into it,

1412
01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 2: and I like the question that comes to my mind

1413
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 2: is he is he? And this is probably unfair, but

1414
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 2: is he crazy? Or is he that crazy? It is

1415
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 2: the ego such that you could come in and question

1416
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 2: the triangle of McVeigh, Stafford and Pooka. There's no there's

1417
01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:42,840
Speaker 2: no better triangle in the NFL coach QB receiver.

1418
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 3: That give me about ego.

1419
01:29:45,439 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 2: Give me something, Give me a triangle that's better.

1420
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:49,679
Speaker 3: That's the thing about ego.

1421
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:53,679
Speaker 2: I don't think it exists you.

1422
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 3: You don't even see that. Your ego is in a

1423
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:02,439
Speaker 3: place to where you jim yourself right in the middle

1424
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:06,559
Speaker 3: of that and say it's about me. They needed me

1425
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 3: to come here to get it done, So why won't

1426
01:30:09,400 --> 01:30:13,599
Speaker 3: you pass me the ball? I'm here to get it done.

1427
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 3: That's what ego do.

1428
01:30:15,880 --> 01:30:22,200
Speaker 2: Well, sure, sure how old is aj.

1429
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 3: He's gotta be a twenty nine?

1430
01:30:24,680 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 2: Uh A J Brown? Right now? Yeah, twenty eight will

1431
01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,559
Speaker 2: be twenty nine by the season starting Yeah, yeah, Okay,

1432
01:30:32,280 --> 01:30:35,439
Speaker 2: Well maybe he's not there yet, but you're getting damn

1433
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 2: close to where I do think you need to you

1434
01:30:39,760 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 2: need to talk it away a little bit. And and

1435
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 2: I mean Davante Adams did it. That's a that's a

1436
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:48,960
Speaker 2: legit NFL.

1437
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:53,839
Speaker 3: One, completely different player. Of course, he is mentality everything.

1438
01:30:56,560 --> 01:30:58,880
Speaker 2: But all of them get there to a certain degree, right,

1439
01:31:01,320 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 2: I mean Lebron James isn't your leading scorer on the Lakers.

1440
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,000
Speaker 3: And and we'll talk about that.

1441
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:13,679
Speaker 2: We should, Yeah, but but I mean, if nothing else,

1442
01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:27,360
Speaker 2: you know, mister supposed narcissist has been able to tuck

1443
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:31,720
Speaker 2: that away, not be the lead story. I don't think

1444
01:31:31,720 --> 01:31:33,360
Speaker 2: he's terribly happy about.

1445
01:31:33,080 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 3: It, but he was never a problem.

1446
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,080
Speaker 2: But he did it exactly.

1447
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 3: He did it when you have a history of being

1448
01:31:39,360 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 3: a problem, A J. Brown are not a J. Brown?

1449
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:54,839
Speaker 3: What's his name from the Steelers?

1450
01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 2: Oh?

1451
01:31:56,160 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 3: Antonio? Well that man that's never recovered?

1452
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, you're not putting AJ in that category, are you.

1453
01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:17,240
Speaker 2: That's a human thing just in disruptiveness, sure, sure, But

1454
01:32:17,439 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 2: like that, that one feels like I could really believe that,

1455
01:32:25,600 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 2: I could really believe that Tyreek Hills about to like that,

1456
01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:33,400
Speaker 2: I could see that ending up there. I don't. I'm

1457
01:32:33,400 --> 01:32:41,040
Speaker 2: not going to put AJ in that category. So you

1458
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:45,719
Speaker 2: would suggest that the Rams don't do this, Yes, yeah,

1459
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:50,719
Speaker 2: it feels like something they would do. Yeah, it really does.

1460
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:54,639
Speaker 2: All right. I want to a couple of things here

1461
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,400
Speaker 2: because we can't switch to the NBA, because I would

1462
01:32:58,400 --> 01:32:59,960
Speaker 2: love to hear what it is you're trying to get

1463
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,920
Speaker 2: off your chests about the Lakers. And I would like

1464
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,639
Speaker 2: to highlight one play that happened when the Thunder played

1465
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 2: the Celtics earlier this week, and I thought it was

1466
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 2: one of the more interesting plays that I've seen this season.

1467
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:18,080
Speaker 2: I want to get into it with you a little bit,

1468
01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 2: so we'll do that coming up next. Another reminder that

1510
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:26,520
Speaker 2: off your chest about the Lakers.

1511
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:29,479
Speaker 3: Well, first, let me just say congratulations to Michael B.

1512
01:35:29,600 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 3: Jordans for winning the Oscar for Best UH Leading Actor

1513
01:35:36,080 --> 01:35:38,599
Speaker 3: in a Movie for his role his dual role in Sinners.

1514
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:41,639
Speaker 2: Look at you, man, you got a lot of TVs

1515
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 2: on right now.

1516
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm honest, I stay locked in.

1517
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:45,519
Speaker 2: You got action right now.

1518
01:35:45,680 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable, man. For Best Original Screenplay. Well deserved, well deserved.

1519
01:35:55,120 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 3: But you know it's it's it's not. Lebron James has

1520
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 3: been in The New and he and JJ Reddick had

1521
01:36:02,400 --> 01:36:08,120
Speaker 3: a real life conversation. Lebron James has been the Sun

1522
01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 3: in the universe of the NBA for a long time,

1523
01:36:10,439 --> 01:36:13,560
Speaker 3: and any team he's on the team revolves around him.

1524
01:36:15,479 --> 01:36:20,120
Speaker 3: The way the Lakers are currently constructed, they can't win

1525
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 3: with him being the center of the universe. And so

1526
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:32,840
Speaker 3: they had a conversation and he decided in order for

1527
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 3: them to be who they are, and he saw it.

1528
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,559
Speaker 3: When he was hurt, he missed a couple of games.

1529
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:43,920
Speaker 3: Now he is not. He's more valuable to the Lakers

1530
01:36:43,920 --> 01:36:46,360
Speaker 3: this year, more than ever even before when he was

1531
01:36:46,360 --> 01:36:50,080
Speaker 3: scoring twenty six and seven and seven. The fact that

1532
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 3: he's a problem on the high screen with him and Luca,

1533
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:58,680
Speaker 3: him setting the screen for Luca. Now it makes him

1534
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 3: a mid post savant or back back, a smaller defender

1535
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:12,800
Speaker 3: down He's figured out and understood and realized that by

1536
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:16,880
Speaker 3: taking the ball out of him his hands and putting

1537
01:37:16,880 --> 01:37:20,200
Speaker 3: it in the hands of Luca and Austin Reeves number one,

1538
01:37:20,240 --> 01:37:23,879
Speaker 3: it gives him more energy on defense. He's played defense

1539
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:30,280
Speaker 3: more now than ever before since he's been in his forties.

1540
01:37:31,400 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 3: Because he's not using all of that on the offensive side.

1541
01:37:37,640 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 3: It's allowed him to be He dove for a ball

1542
01:37:45,680 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 3: in yesterday's game against the Nuggets coming down the stretch,

1543
01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:53,560
Speaker 3: a huge possession that yep, right like he dove for

1544
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 3: I was like, whoa, what is happening right now?

1545
01:37:58,560 --> 01:37:58,800
Speaker 2: Right?

1546
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:03,080
Speaker 3: But you got a chance to see just how important

1547
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:09,120
Speaker 3: it was to them. And so the way the Lakers

1548
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:13,800
Speaker 3: are playing now, they're going to be a difficult out

1549
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:19,040
Speaker 3: in a seven game series. I'll buy that they're gonna

1550
01:38:19,080 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 3: be a tough out. Marcus Smart is unbelievable as a

1551
01:38:23,439 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 3: as a as a wing defender, knocking the three down.

1552
01:38:27,600 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 3: Rory is shooting forty from three, Luke Canard leading the

1553
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:36,919
Speaker 3: league in three uh two and three percent and everything.

1554
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 3: So they're finding their way coming down the stretch, and

1555
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:46,479
Speaker 3: they're They've won eight of nine and the majority of

1556
01:38:46,520 --> 01:38:49,799
Speaker 3: the teams they're beating are all playoff teams, are jockeying

1557
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 3: for positioning. The only team they've lost to is the

1558
01:38:52,600 --> 01:39:00,040
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets a week and a half ago. And so,

1559
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:04,040
Speaker 3: which what was like, a, well, we'll see now, I

1560
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 3: don't know. I mean, yeah, but Ken, it is Lebron

1561
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 3: gonna be able to Yes, he's he's done those things.

1562
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 3: He's heard all the voices, and so I just want

1563
01:39:12,920 --> 01:39:17,200
Speaker 3: to say, you know, I am at the Lakers' toughest critic,

1564
01:39:17,880 --> 01:39:20,839
Speaker 3: and the way he's playing now, we we really actually

1565
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 3: have a shot, a shot, yeah, a shot to go

1566
01:39:25,200 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 3: deeper into the playoffs, to go deeper.

1567
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:32,360
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll buy it. I'll buy it. Man. What a

1568
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 2: It feels like a ragtag sort of a process that's

1569
01:39:39,240 --> 01:39:46,680
Speaker 2: arrived at this collection of players, this coach to if

1570
01:39:46,760 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 2: they are truly finding something that is kind of sustainable

1571
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:57,000
Speaker 2: and that's within the framework of knowing this thing's got,

1572
01:39:57,120 --> 01:40:00,000
Speaker 2: this thing's got it's fifteen to twenty five games left

1573
01:40:00,040 --> 01:40:04,759
Speaker 2: left and uh and then he's gone, Yeah, he's gone.

1574
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:09,560
Speaker 2: If you can find something that works within that framework,

1575
01:40:10,439 --> 01:40:14,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, it's impressive that I've always been

1576
01:40:14,720 --> 01:40:17,519
Speaker 2: able to kind of find my way through the Lebron

1577
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 2: James Weeds to uh to to admit that, I know,

1578
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:27,720
Speaker 2: people get so sort of lost in all of the

1579
01:40:27,840 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 2: Lebron stuff, the stardom, the decision, the flopping, the whatever

1580
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 2: it may be. People get so lost and they miss

1581
01:40:38,640 --> 01:40:40,839
Speaker 2: what I find to be just kind of a multi

1582
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 2: tiered impressive process that that it's been.

1583
01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's this is when you want to figure it

1584
01:40:55,240 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 3: out coming down the stretch. You want to figure it

1585
01:40:59,280 --> 01:41:06,120
Speaker 3: out going into the last you know, quarter of the season,

1586
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 3: heading into the playoffs, because you want to hit the

1587
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,559
Speaker 3: ground running in the playoffs. You're not trying to figure

1588
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 3: it out and the Lakers are playing extremely. They got

1589
01:41:16,280 --> 01:41:19,800
Speaker 3: big games coming up as posturing for the third seed, yep.

1590
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 3: And so they play back to back games in Houston

1591
01:41:25,640 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 3: against Houston that will, you know, help them lock up

1592
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 3: that third seed. But the proof is out there. Guys

1593
01:41:36,160 --> 01:41:39,640
Speaker 3: are playing, Guys are healthy, and I think that's the

1594
01:41:39,680 --> 01:41:42,639
Speaker 3: most important part. The guys are actually healthy and out

1595
01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:43,600
Speaker 3: there playing.

1596
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 2: The other thing that I wanted to get to in

1597
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:50,000
Speaker 2: the NBA. And Steve's going to be along here in

1598
01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:53,160
Speaker 2: just one minute, but maybe we can hit it a

1599
01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 2: little bit after Steve or even before the end of

1600
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 2: the hour. Did you hear the Did you hear that clip?

1601
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:00,479
Speaker 2: And I mean here not see did you hear that

1602
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 2: clip from the Thunder Celtics game when SGA drives left.

1603
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 2: At no point is he even looking at the rim

1604
01:42:11,840 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 2: like you will see him just kind of look at

1605
01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:17,519
Speaker 2: a defender find his way to get into some sort

1606
01:42:17,560 --> 01:42:25,320
Speaker 2: of odd positioning and then flail and first, I god,

1607
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:27,559
Speaker 2: there's so many of the calls. I don't understand why

1608
01:42:27,600 --> 01:42:31,680
Speaker 2: the whistle even blows, but it blows, and there's kind

1609
01:42:31,720 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 2: of a quiet moment in the arena and you can

1610
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 2: overhear Jalen Brown scream at everybody involved. That's not basketball,

1611
01:42:44,479 --> 01:42:49,680
Speaker 2: and then he says it again, that's not basketball. And

1612
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,759
Speaker 2: I just it caught my attention because no truer words

1613
01:42:52,760 --> 01:42:55,240
Speaker 2: have ever been spoken on the court by by an

1614
01:42:55,240 --> 01:42:58,640
Speaker 2: elite player, by an elite scorer. It's one thing to

1615
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:00,280
Speaker 2: be called out by the fans and another to be

1616
01:43:00,520 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 2: called out by the media. You're being called out by

1617
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:09,679
Speaker 2: another elite scorer in the league. They've got to do something, dude, Yeah,

1618
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:15,719
Speaker 2: they have to do something about this. It is the

1619
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:19,759
Speaker 2: worst thing I've ever seen on a basketball court. It's

1620
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:21,799
Speaker 2: so so so gross.

1621
01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the cheeko.

1622
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:28,120
Speaker 2: I cannot watch him play, and if he's gonna go

1623
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:30,559
Speaker 2: all the way to the end, I literally might not

1624
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:31,320
Speaker 2: watch till the end.

1625
01:43:31,439 --> 01:43:32,759
Speaker 3: It was like James Harden.

1626
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:37,360
Speaker 2: It's worse though it is like James hard.

1627
01:43:36,479 --> 01:43:40,320
Speaker 3: But that's the sentiment people were feeling. Yes, after, you know,

1628
01:43:40,360 --> 01:43:44,200
Speaker 3: it was just like, okay, here we go, right, the

1629
01:43:44,240 --> 01:43:47,120
Speaker 3: triple step back that it's impossible to guard because it's

1630
01:43:47,160 --> 01:43:50,519
Speaker 3: a triple step back. Yep, gather, gather step back, step back.

1631
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 3: That's impossible to guard. The dragging the arms up, hooking

1632
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 3: the arm as you're going by the defender and then

1633
01:43:58,439 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 3: flailing up into the air throwing the ball up off

1634
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:09,000
Speaker 3: the glass. You know. So there's always and they're trainers

1635
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:13,559
Speaker 3: to teach that. Their trainers are they're teaching eleven twelve

1636
01:44:13,600 --> 01:44:15,880
Speaker 3: year olds to do that, right now. See a lot

1637
01:44:15,880 --> 01:44:19,000
Speaker 3: of that in AAU basketball where the kid next flops back,

1638
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 3: and it's just I hate it. I hate it.

1639
01:44:26,160 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 2: I hate it almost as much as like being late

1640
01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:29,160
Speaker 2: to Steve Desager.

1641
01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 3: Let's not be late.

1642
01:44:30,200 --> 01:44:32,400
Speaker 2: Let's not be late, gentlemen.

1643
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 5: We just concluded yet another entertaining inning, end of seven

1644
01:44:36,479 --> 01:44:39,760
Speaker 5: to one US over Dominican Republic now top of the

1645
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 5: eighth on FS one in this semi final of the

1646
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:45,040
Speaker 5: World Baseball Classic. Heart of the Order for the Americans

1647
01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:48,800
Speaker 5: in this inning, Aaron Judge started out things by striking out,

1648
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:51,280
Speaker 5: but Kyle Schwarber has just walked and at the plate

1649
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:54,040
Speaker 5: now Gunner Henderson, who hit one of the two solo

1650
01:44:54,080 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 5: homers in the fourth for the US. His was off

1651
01:44:56,400 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 5: the starter Luis Severino. The USA starter Paul Skeene went

1652
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:02,719
Speaker 5: four and a third innings, one run allowed the solo

1653
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 5: homer in the second to Junior Camonero, his team's record

1654
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:09,400
Speaker 5: fifteenth home run of this tournament. But the dr left

1655
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:12,400
Speaker 5: bases loaded in the fourth. They just left second and

1656
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 5: third in the seventh inning. That's why the Americans still lead.

1657
01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:20,599
Speaker 5: David Bednar, reliever for the Yankees, former Pirates closer, pitched

1658
01:45:20,640 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 5: the bottom of the seventh inning after getting the first

1659
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:26,160
Speaker 5: guy to pop out. The next batter was his Yankee

1660
01:45:26,200 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 5: catcher Austin Wells, who's playing for the Dominicans in this tournament,

1661
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:33,599
Speaker 5: and he doubled. The next guy singled, but the runner

1662
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 5: Wells at second had to make sure the ball got

1663
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,640
Speaker 5: through the infield, so he got a poor jump and

1664
01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:41,880
Speaker 5: had to hold at third. That turned out to be

1665
01:45:42,000 --> 01:45:44,439
Speaker 5: key because the next guy singled and stole second, but

1666
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:48,120
Speaker 5: they left second and third. We can update it looks

1667
01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:50,719
Speaker 5: like a double play to end the top of the eighth.

1668
01:45:51,040 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 5: The Americans go to the bottom of the eighth up

1669
01:45:53,200 --> 01:45:55,719
Speaker 5: to to one against the Dominican Republic. I repeat.

1670
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:56,360
Speaker 3: The US in.

1671
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:59,639
Speaker 5: Miami is the visiting team because they did not win

1672
01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:02,240
Speaker 5: their The Dominicans at five and zero now in the

1673
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 5: attorney did wow, this has been good. NCUBLEA men's basketball

Speaker 5: this year, one week after John Rahm claimed his first

1714
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:30,520
Speaker 5: individual title of the year. But there's a golfer I

1715
01:48:30,600 --> 01:48:34,880
Speaker 5: readily confess I've never heard of. Richard t Lee was

1716
01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:37,599
Speaker 5: a live wild card in this event.

1717
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 2: Sounds like a general from eighteen to thirty or something

1718
01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:42,599
Speaker 2: like that.

1719
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:45,600
Speaker 5: Who enjoys his beverages. He has the best finish of

1720
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:49,599
Speaker 5: the live wild card you know, in the long history

1721
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,599
Speaker 5: of this tour. But the thing is, the guy had

1722
01:48:52,720 --> 01:48:56,479
Speaker 5: a two footer for par to extend this playoff with

1723
01:48:56,600 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 5: the Shambo and it lipped out, giving Bryce Deshambeau the victory.

1724
01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:03,679
Speaker 5: And as we all know by now, and we talked

1725
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:08,680
Speaker 5: this every Sunday night, for every win every this is

1726
01:49:08,800 --> 01:49:11,639
Speaker 5: just you have to say it out loud. Every winner

1727
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 5: of every event in live golf gets four million dollars

1728
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 5: For now four days of golf. Richard T Lee settles

1729
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:25,920
Speaker 5: for just over two point two million dollars. John Rahm

1730
01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:29,559
Speaker 5: finished fifth place. That's still worth eight hundred thousand dollars.

1731
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:33,599
Speaker 5: But gentlemen, we had almost a major finish up on

1732
01:49:33,640 --> 01:49:36,880
Speaker 5: the PGA Tour today and there was money being handed

1733
01:49:36,920 --> 01:49:40,960
Speaker 5: out left and right. Cameron Young is a guy who,

1734
01:49:41,040 --> 01:49:43,679
Speaker 5: before he picked up his first tour victory last summer,

1735
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:46,559
Speaker 5: had been a runner up seven times on the PGA Tour.

1736
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:50,879
Speaker 5: He wound up stealing this one the Players Championship in Florida.

1737
01:49:52,479 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 5: It looked like Matthew Fitzpatrick's tournament. The guy from England

1738
01:49:56,479 --> 01:49:58,639
Speaker 5: was with two holes to play, up by one stroke,

1739
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 5: and then Young wound up the winner. There was a

1740
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:06,439
Speaker 5: bogie five by Fitzpatrick at the end, but Young said

1741
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,680
Speaker 5: the nurse kicked in over that eight inch putt at

1742
01:50:09,680 --> 01:50:14,080
Speaker 5: the last. That golf hole looked really, really small there

1743
01:50:14,160 --> 01:50:18,000
Speaker 5: from pretty close range. Fitzpatrick apparently was trying to become

1744
01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:21,519
Speaker 5: the first English golfer to win the Players. He just

1745
01:50:21,560 --> 01:50:23,960
Speaker 5: missed an eight foot par putt on eighteen that would

1746
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 5: have forced a three hole playoff. The total purse for

1747
01:50:28,080 --> 01:50:31,519
Speaker 5: this event keep in mind the context. The Masters last

1748
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 5: year had a total prize money of twenty one million dollars,

1749
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:40,400
Speaker 5: the Players twenty five million dollar perse this weekend. So

1750
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:45,560
Speaker 5: today's winner, Cameron Young four and a half million dollars

1751
01:50:46,240 --> 01:50:49,320
Speaker 5: Matt Fitzpatrick, who blew the late lead just over two

1752
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:52,840
Speaker 5: point two mil. Ludwig Oberg was looking like the winner

1753
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 5: all weekend and settled for a tie for fifth. He

1754
01:50:56,439 --> 01:51:00,559
Speaker 5: shot seventy six in the final round, still a tie

1755
01:51:00,600 --> 01:51:03,360
Speaker 5: for fifth with two other golfers. Those three guys each

1756
01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:08,800
Speaker 5: take home nine hundred and twenty five thousand dollars I

1757
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 5: repeat for a tie for fifth. They continue in Florida

1758
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 5: next weekend with the vals Bar Championship and then tournaments

1759
01:51:17,040 --> 01:51:20,360

Speaker 2: got two million dollars also for everything he did that weekend.

1768
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:49,800
Speaker 2: I never know how I'm supposed to feel for that guy.

1769
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:52,559
Speaker 5: It was only one point seven to five mil. Oh,

1770
01:51:52,600 --> 01:51:54,080
Speaker 5: does that make it feel better now?

1771
01:51:54,160 --> 01:52:02,799
Speaker 2: I feel terrible for him. Geez, I hope he eats. Indeed, Steve,

1782
01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:43,120
Speaker 2: way around the bases. As the ball went over the

Speaker 2: Bryce Terran is at the plate against no. This one's

1861
01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 2: destined for a one run game. Give it, come on,

01:56:56,840 --> 01:57:00,880
Speaker 2: give me, come on, come on first sure one run

1863

1864
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 2: just is, that's the way this one's destined to go.

1865
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 2: Look at Albert, Look at Alberto, which part of him?

1866
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:17,160
Speaker 2: Look at the old gym teacher. Hey you know this.

1867
01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:20,000
Speaker 2: I bet you have football brethren all over the place

1868
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:23,480
Speaker 2: that that that are examples of both. You go one

1869
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 2: of two ways when you retired. Now, brother, yeah you're

1870
01:57:27,520 --> 01:57:31,640
Speaker 2: going bigger, you're going small. And one person described it

1871
01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:35,200
Speaker 2: to me as the offensive lineman gets smaller and the

1872
01:57:35,320 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 2: running backs get bigger and everybody meets at about two

1873
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:39,160
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five.

1874
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,840
Speaker 3: That is absolutely correct. The big fellows get that weight off.

1875
01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:48,720
Speaker 2: Will you stop forcing yourself to eat?

1876
01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:50,320
Speaker 3: You have to just eat.

1877
01:57:50,520 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 2: I was like, I would love to hear stories of

1878
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:58,640
Speaker 2: that someday, Like the eating that just I don't want

1879
01:57:58,640 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 2: to eat.

1880
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:01,400
Speaker 3: Right now, but I have to eat. We used to

1881
01:58:01,440 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 3: be and when I played in Denver, we were underweight. Yeah,

1882
01:58:05,320 --> 01:58:09,520
Speaker 3: Tommy Nalen and uh Dan Neil they used to tape

1883
01:58:09,560 --> 01:58:14,880
Speaker 3: weight to their legs because they would be like two

1884
01:58:15,000 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty eight to fifty five hold up.

1885
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:21,520
Speaker 2: They would take weights to their legs for weigh in for.

1886
01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:25,000
Speaker 3: Weigh in to be heavy. My we would get fine

1887
01:58:25,160 --> 01:58:27,640
Speaker 3: for being too light.

1888
01:58:28,680 --> 01:58:29,760
Speaker 2: That's incredible.

1889
01:58:30,760 --> 01:58:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I played at two eighty five.

1890
01:58:33,080 --> 01:58:36,080
Speaker 2: Dude, and I bet I bet because I know, like

1891
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 2: it's fun to think about it, Like, wouldn't it be

1892
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:41,560
Speaker 2: cool if you could just app cheeseburgers and pizza all

1893
01:58:41,640 --> 01:58:45,400
Speaker 2: day every day? I bet that is not the novelty

1894
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:48,560
Speaker 2: that it seems like it is not. I bet it's not. Thought.

1895
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:53,720
Speaker 3: You gotta remember we burned so many calories because we're

1896
01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:56,400
Speaker 3: we don't there's no we don't get a sub.

1897
01:58:58,200 --> 01:58:59,880
Speaker 2: I mean you might get a sub as in like

1898
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:01,280
Speaker 2: a subway sandway.

1899
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:03,560
Speaker 3: Right, but during the game we're playing, if it's sixty

1900
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:07,959
Speaker 3: five offensive plays, we're playing all sixty five in physical combat.

1901
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 3: Like people don't know this.

1902
01:59:10,280 --> 01:59:10,920
Speaker 2: You burn more.

1903
01:59:11,160 --> 01:59:14,120
Speaker 3: You burn more weight lifting weights than you do cardio.

1904
01:59:15,320 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1905
01:59:15,560 --> 01:59:17,520
Speaker 3: I believe that because it's the push and the pul

1906
01:59:17,560 --> 01:59:21,760
Speaker 3: it's your body engaging it. So we're I'm burning ten thousand,
