00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: as well start with the biggest story of the week,

53
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: and that was the.

54
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: Rica keeping Brazil to a nil nil draw.

55
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: Okay, see, now this is can I. I'm going to

56
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: make a little admission right now.

57
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: How important that was?

58
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's that's very important. Let's I walked in

59
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: today and saw Chris. Chris is going to be with

60
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,839
Speaker 1: us for a couple hours here, and I asked him,

61
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: as I get ready to celebrate another milestone birthday. See,

62
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: at my stage, every every birthday is a milestone birthday.

63
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Thank you very much? And I asked him.

64
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Knowing that my life has been sports since the time

65
00:02:55,120 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: I was six years old, sixty years of this, I

66
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: was wondering to myself, how is it that, no matter

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: how much I have tried to engage in the sport

68
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: that we call soccer the rest of the world refers

69
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: to as football boy, that I just can't get into it. Well,

70
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,839
Speaker 1: do you remember my answer to you at all? Steve? See,

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: I've already forgotten that that's also a sign of age,

72
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,119
Speaker 1: because you're sitting you set in your ways and pick

73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: at it.

74
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: Well.

75
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I know that, but here here's the thing. Back when

76
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: I was, you know, in high school, the Cosmos UH

77
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: signed Pele and of course, you know, even as not

78
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: everyone had heard of Pale, he was the most famous

79
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: soccer player in the world, had led Brazil to multiple

80
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: World Cups and everything else, and they get you. They

81
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: got huge crowds, like in New York they were packing

82
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: them in. Yeah, and I thought, and at that time,

83
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: and this is fifty years ago, they were really saying,

84
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: now it's a arrived. Like you you know, we got

85
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: American football was still climbing very much in the seventies,

86
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Baseball was still king, the NBA was almost in its infancy,

87
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: but soccer was going to be it. Soccer was going

88
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: to be the sport. And then every decade I've been

89
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: hearing the exact same thing. And you know, Major League

90
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: Soccer came in and everything else. And yet I find

91
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: that even though there are here's the thing about soccer fans.

92
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: They're hardcore, and I get it, I mean, like really hardcore.

93
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: Like Matt money Smith, my dear friend out here, he's

94
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 1: a big soccer fishing on He's the kind of guy

95
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: that will get up in the middle of the night

96
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: to watch a match in Europe because he has that

97
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: kind of interest in the sport. And I've sat down,

98
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: I've watched World Cups over the years. I've watched it

99
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: in the Olympics, men and women. I mean, it doesn't matter,

100
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: they're just it's just something about the sport that just

101
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: leaves me like, I see this giant field, I see

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys running around and there's maybe a

103
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: couple runs, a score a goal when you're at the

104
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: elite level, and that's just not enough for me.

105
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think you're alone.

106
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 2: I do find it weird because it is the only

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 2: true international sport.

108
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Oh, it's the biggest sport in the world by four

109
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: by far.

110
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: Aside from here in the US, soccer is the biggest draw.

111
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 4: So I don't know if we're just like we grew

112
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 4: up that way.

113
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: Obviously, I came from a soccer family, so it's like

114
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 2: a little bit different. But I feel like a lot

115
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 2: of people feel like you, and they're like, but there's

116
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: not a lot of scoring, and it takes forever to score,

117
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: and they're just running back and forth and I think

118
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: it's just you don't appreciate it. But I think it's not.

119
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: I think it's normal like you're feeling. I think it's

120
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: normal here in the US.

121
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 5: We can do this other ways about other sports in

122
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 5: the US too. I know plenty of people who won't

123
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: get into American football because it's like, why are they

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 5: taking so long between plays? Why are there so many commercials?

125
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: You're only seeing like ten minutes of you're only seeing

126
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 5: like five minute section, or it's baseball, there's It's fine.

127
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 5: You don't need to be into everything. Soccer doesn't need

128
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 5: to be thegest thing out there. I am enjoying Denmark Germany. Okay,

129
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 5: which is a weather delay. But is it back on now?

130
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: It's back on. Okay, it's suspended. But by the way,

131
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 5: just that date on the score nil nil nil nil started.

132
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 5: My brother, you're just getting started here, So there it is, uh, Steve,

133
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 5: I'm with you, by the way, with you.

134
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: Now, Patrick, you're of a far different generation than I am. Now.

135
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I would imagine your father is not a big soccer gun. No, no,

136
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: not at all. Why don't you feel pressure in your

137
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: age bracket to accept I mean, we're you know, this

138
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: is a different world.

139
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: Now.

140
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: Social media is brought the whole world together, and I

141
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: know during the World Cup it's it's really insane, right,

142
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, And so obviously when you have the

143
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: World Cup, I get it. I mean it's the biggest

144
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: sporting event in the world.

145
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 5: Fair right now, Copa and Euros going on is basically

146
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 5: like what we get every two years in between the

147
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: World Cup, and it's the next step down.

148
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

149
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, So this is.

150
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: Not the story you want to talk about.

151
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'll just I'll leave that to someone else.

152
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: And I mean, look at it, if that you know,

153
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: if that I mean in neander Thought, you can call whatever.

154
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: I just have Patrick say, And how old are you now? Patrick?

155
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: What are you now? I am twenty nine years twenty

156
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: nine years old, a man in his twenties, right in

157
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: his prime. And here he is, and he says, no,

158
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: he's really not interesting to tell you.

159
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: I think majority feel the way you do.

160
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not the majority of the world.

161
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: No, I mean here in the US, I mean specifically

162
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 2: here in the US.

163
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: Well, we have American football and it is our obsession

164
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: and it's certainly that. All right, So let's let's start

165
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: with this. Mart Mendine is going to join us a

166
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: little bit later on. Of all the things that happened

167
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: during the NBA Draft, the one thing that just absolutely

168
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: caught my eye. First of all, I'm not quite sure

169
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: why they split it into two days and.

170
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 2: It started at four eastern, so one o'clock Pacific. Well,

171
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: people are at work. Why why even do it?

172
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: Well, the only reason and that there was so much

173
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: hype about the Brownie j situation, which I'm going to

174
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: get into a lot of this, oh, I'm sure. But

175
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: the thing that just blew me away watching the coverage

176
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: of the second round the second day was there in

177
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: the room of the Lakers, there Rob polink in company,

178
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: and it's coming to their pick, and you know, amazingly,

179
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Bronnie James is still on the board, considering he didn't

180
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: even make All League in high school two years ago,

181
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: nor could he get off the bench on one of

182
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: the worst USC teams in recent memory. But anyway, so

183
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: they select Bronnie James as expected, and there's Rob Polinke

184
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: and everybody in the room just high five in each

185
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: other and I'm thinking, Okay, this is the fifty fifth

186
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: pick in the draft. I really doubt that I've ever

187
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: seen anyone high five after a second round pick, because

188
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: most second round picks never see the light of day

189
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But then, to top it off, you're

190
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: selecting somebody that literally nobody else had any interest in.

191
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: You could have conceivably have signed him as a free agent.

192
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: There were only five picks left in the draft, and

193
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: no one was going to drab Brownie James. And there

194
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: there are high fiving.

195
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 4: Well, you know, when you are part of.

196
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 2: A plan that nobody else seems to agree with and

197
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: you keep pushing the narrative for a couple of months,

198
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: Now you have to start drinking the juice, whether you

199
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: want to or not. They had to show they were

200
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 2: drinking the juice in full effect on camera.

201
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 4: I actually didn't even watch it because I was at work.

202
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 4: I was a Dodgers that day.

203
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: But I can envision that, and it's like, because they

204
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: couldn't pretend that this was not maybe the smartest choice,

205
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: they had to sell it. They had to sell it.

206
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: They've all been drinking the juice. They're trying to get

207
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 2: us to drink the juice. And even if you don't

208
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: want the juice, guys, we're drinking it. That's what's crazy

209
00:09:59,679 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: about this.

210
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: So he has been was covering this right, and you

211
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: got stephen A, you got WOJ, got Bob Myers, and

212
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: after the pick stephen A and I've worked with stephen A,

213
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: and you know, I know there's a lot of opinions.

214
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I love steven A. I'm on a personal level. He's

215
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: a great guy. Yeah, he puts on a show's basically

216
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: what he does on TV, which is not impressive anyway.

217
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: And he say, well, if anyone deserves this, it's Lebron James.

218
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: And pretty much Woge was agreeing with him, and even

219
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: Bob Myers was like, well, you know, forget what you

220
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: saw numbers wise at us. See forget that thirty five

221
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: percent shooting twenty five percent three five point less than

222
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: five points a game, or the fact he didn't even

223
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: make All League first team two years ago in high school.

224
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: He has the skill set to be an NBA player.

225
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: And I'm watching this and I'm thinking, okay, I'm speaking

226
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: from the Lakers per perspective. Here the Lakers, Oh Lebron nothing.

227
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: Lebron James, who I think is the greatest player in

228
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: the history of the NBA. The goat is not a Laker.

229
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: There are three what I call true Lakers, Jerry West,

230
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson, and Kobe Bryant. Those were the Lakers. If

231
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: they had done that for any one of these three guys,

232
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: no one would have quibble. Lebron's on loan and Lebron

233
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: I am convinced, and you'll never hear this from the organization,

234
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,839
Speaker 1: but when he agreed to come to la joining an

235
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: organization have completely fallen off the map five straight losing seasons.

236
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: He made a deal with Rich Paul, his agent, saying

237
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: understand this, if I come here, I will make decisions

238
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: and you will follow me. Now, the organization even at

239
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: the Reddick press conference, and they were emphatic about the

240
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: fact that Lebron had zero input zero. If anything, they

241
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: said Anthony Davis had more input.

242
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: JJ said he didn't talk to him until.

243
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: Thursday, didn't even talk to him. I mean, I'm just.

244
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 4: Like everyone's drinking the juice. You gotta keep it going.

245
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: I'm not drinking the juice. I'm not drinking the juice.

246
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: I've been around way too long. I have heard it all,

247
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: I have seen it all, and now their organization is

248
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: where it is. So you added a coach who's never

249
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: coached a day outside of his youth kid, and you'd

250
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: use a second round pick on a kid that has

251
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: no business playing in the NBA Right now, the last

252
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: time I checked, the goal of this organization should and

253
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: still is to win an NBA championship. So a player

254
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: in the second round that will add nothing to your

255
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: roster next season and a coach that's never today in

256
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: the league, and that's your answer to go from first

257
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: round playoff loss to winning a championship.

258
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you say a lot of logical things right now, Steve.

259
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 4: And the thing with Lebron is.

260
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: Because he is, too many the greatest of all time.

261
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: With everything that he's done for twenty years, it is incredible.

262
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: And so I do think it is a little bit

263
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: gray in the sense of what they said, if anyone's

264
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: gonna do it, Lebron can do this, And it's like,

265
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: as much as I disagree, I also agree to that, like,

266
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: if anyone is gonna get away with this, it's gonna

267
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: be Lebron. My problem is the pretending that he is

268
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: not calling the shots and that he doesn't get to

269
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 2: pull the strings because of what he has accomplished. I

270
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: wish they would I wish Rich Paul would come out

271
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: and be like, well, you guys have seen what Lebron

272
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 2: has done for this league, so he's gonna do what

273
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 2: he wants, and we're gonna we're gonna fallow. I wish

274
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 2: they were just more upfront about it, and I think

275
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 2: people would have less of an issue with it. But

276
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: you are trying to make me believe something that's not real,

277
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: and that's my problem. And then if we keep going

278
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: because I'm not a Laker fan, so I hear what

279
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 2: you're saying that he's not a real Laker, and I

280
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: think other Laker fans feel the same way. I'm just wondering, now,

281
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen in two years? Are we gonna have Bronnie,

282
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,719
Speaker 2: Bryce and Lebron on the Lakers. What's gonna happen when

283
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 2: Lebron becomes an owner, because we know he wants to

284
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 2: own a team. Are we gonna let him still continue

285
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: to be the puppet master of the entire league when

286
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: he owns a team.

287
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: Now, that's where it really becomes a problem. Right now,

288
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 4: it is Lakers.

289
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: He's a player, but I'm already thinking what's gonna happen

290
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: when he retires? He cannot continue to pull strings like

291
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: this an owner of a team but manipulating the entire league.

292
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: All right. On the other side, I want to continue

293
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: a little bit because we do have a big ups

294
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: update within the Laker organization, not just on Lebron but

295
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 1: also some other moves right now moving on to next season.

00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: of roulette.

00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: A lot roulette is just I mean no, it's.

332
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: all about vibes, you know, and you could feel at

333
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 2: the minute somebody shows up that like play. I do numbers,

334
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,080

335
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: Have those numbers work for you?

336
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 3: Oh?

337
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 2: Up and down, up and down. It was so fun.

338
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: Like I did not win in the long you know

339
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 4: crab scheme of things.

340
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 2: But if I could sit at a roulette table for

341
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 2: like an hour hour and a half really with like

342
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: money going up and down like the same hundred that

343
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: I started with, whatever, to me, that's that's a victory.

344
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 4: That's I'm paying for entertainment. That's how I see it.

345
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: Did you play blackshack?

346
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 2: We did not play blackjack. It was all roulette. We

347
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 2: were having fun at the roulette. We went to different

348
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: roulette tables and it was fun. It was we had

349
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 2: a good time.

350
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: Do partake in adul bulk beverages while you're does.

351
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 4: A bear poop woods?

352
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 2: Of course I do. Of course I do, Thanks Patrick

353
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 2: like that one, Yes, of course I And like I

354
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: that's that's the.

355
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: Fun part too, right.

356
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: You get free drinks as you're like playing, and you

357
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: have to spend the money there. But you know, I'm

358
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: very bougie when it comes to my tequila. So it

359
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: wasn't that I wasn't paying for drinks. I was still

360
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 2: buying tequila shots because I can't just have well or

361
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: whatever you think I'm gonna have. So I still spend

362
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: some money. But you know, my seltzers were free, My

363
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: mimosas were free. When I was at the roulette table,

364
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 2: definitely ate and drank way too much in forty hours.

365
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: So when it comes to money, yeah, as you know, yes,

366
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: my money situation.

367
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: Is it's just being spent right now.

368
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: It is literally as I'm not great with money. I'll

369
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: tell you a guy that is very conscious of his money.

370
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: And his name is Lebron James, and I'll give you

371
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: an example. So I have a trainer friend, and he

372
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: knows a woman trainer that works with a lot of

373
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: elite athletes and has worked with Lebron James, so she's

374
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: that level. And she sent him a bill for her services,

375
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: and he literally went down every single point of this

376
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: bill with her. Now we're not talking millions of dollars obviously,

377
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: so you know like this, And she assured him that

378
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: the money that he is being charge is no different

379
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: than anybody else. But he is very meticulous in the

380
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: money that is being spent. Now, I don't know about you.

381
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: If you were making fifteen million dollars a year, then

382
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 1: that just salary that doesn't count all the other money floating.

383
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: And the man's a billionaire, right, do you feel like

384
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: you would be watching every penny.

385
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: Well, I will say, I don't know if I'd be

386
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 2: watching every penny, but I think you would do it

387
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: the first time you work with somebody to make sure

388
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 2: that they're not pulling a fast one. Maybe it was

389
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: just a one time let's make sure that this girl

390
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 2: isn't trying because she knows how much money I make.

391
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 2: Because I will tell you when I worked at Universal Studios,

392
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 2: what drove me nuts was we would give free a

393
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars experience to celebrities, and it would drive

394
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 2: me nuts because it's like they can't afford it, Russell

395
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,919
Speaker 2: crowe can't afford this tour, and they would give it

396
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 2: to them for free. Lebron James, I took him around

397
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: and Chris Paul during Halloween. Lebron paid for it, and

398
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 2: he was a generous tipper to me and my other

399
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: tour guide, and there was no issues that I didn't like.

400
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 4: They pay for everything, the food.

401
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: Like the whole thing that experience I had with him.

402
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 2: So maybe this was like a one time thing where

403
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: he was just making sure that this person wasn't trying

404
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: to pull a fass one on them.

405
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: Well, the reason I'm talking about Lebron and money. So

406
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: now that Lebron has gotten exactly what he wanted, He

407
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: got the coach he wanted, and he got his son

408
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: on the team. The Lakers did that for him, right.

409
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: The reason why Paulink and company were high fiving after

410
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: drafting BRONI is they're like, that means we don't have

411
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: to worry about Lebron leaving, right. So today Lebron made

412
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: it official that he opts out of his player option.

413
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: So he all he had to do is sign a

414
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: piece of paper and he was guaranteed fifty one million

415
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: dollars for the upcoming season. He's like, no, he tore

416
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: up that. Can you imagine that fifty one million guaranteed

417
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 1: and he just tore that up. No, So the Lakers

418
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: now are saying that they are will to give him

419
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: what he has earned as an All NBA player. It

420
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: was the second thirteen. He was thirteen All NBA this year,

421
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: which is basically a three year, one hundred and sixty

422
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: one million dollar deal, which figures out to be about

423
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: fifty three fifty four million dollars a year. Now, I'm

424
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, if you're a Lebron James and maybe

425
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: he'll do this, Maybe he'll do this, he said, forget that.

426
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: The reason I'm opting out is I'm going to take

427
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: considerably less money. That's what he should do because I

428
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: want to win a championship more than ever and now

429
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: nothing would be of greater satisfaction for me for my

430
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: son to be fitted with an NBA championship ring. So

431
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: this is going to be very interesting how the plays out.

432
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: The Lakers are taking, you know, the the public stance,

433
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, will give him the max if that's what

434
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: he desires. But if you're a Lebron James, this team

435
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: right now as it is is not good enough to

436
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: win an NBA championship. You need a few more pieces.

437
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: He needs to sign an extension for way less money

438
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: to make it happen for maybe his son to have

439
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: the same dream that he had to be an NBA champion.

440
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally agree with you.

441
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 2: I was having this discussion last night with a Laker

442
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: fan and we were saying that he should take a

443
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: pay cut, even though that's not normal in the NBA.

444
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 2: It's not like football. You know, in football, a lot

445
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 2: of players, quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, right, they've never

446
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: been the highest paid.

447
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: Quarterback and neither has lebron ever been the highest paid

448
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: player in the league.

449
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: But he's also still making a ton of money. Right

450
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: he's never been the highest and like he does one,

451
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 2: we know he doesn't need the money. Your kids are set.

452
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: Your kids kids, kids' kids are set. They're set. That

453
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 2: he has to know that adding Bronnie does not make

454
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: the Lakers a championship caliber team. He has to know

455
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: that Bronnie is not moving the needle like that, that

456
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 2: they need to add other pieces to help him, to

457
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: help Brownie succeed and more importantly, top the Lakers succeed.

458
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 2: So to me, it's an obvious you take less money.

459
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: To me, it's obvious.

460
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: And maybe he will, and maybe he will. We're going

461
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: to find out Mark Mendina is going to join us

462
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: on the other side. That's something we will talk to

463
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: him about. But first let's find out what is trending

464
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: right now. And a man that has an open door

465
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: policy in the update booth, I do the only one

466
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 1: that leaves the door open. I get claustrophobic. Bryan Finley

467
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 1: and b fenn I walked in and you're like thinking

468
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: to yourself, are you literally going to sit here for

469
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: three hours with me and talk my ear off. I

470
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised. And I was like, no, no, no,

471
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: we have an extra two hour show today. So I'm did.

472
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 2: You, like, did your soul fall a little bit when

473
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 2: you sig Nim walk into early? Well?

474
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 8: I was like, does this guy have a life? You

475
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 8: got three kids, you got things going on? You know

476
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 8: that is true? You are an empty nester. Well, there's

477
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 8: more developments in more growing appendages to this story evolving

478
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 8: around the former Duke basketball player Kyle Philipowski, who slipped

479
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 8: into the second round of the NBA Draft. And just

480
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 8: to sort of rehash the story, Philipowski's girlfriend slash wife

481
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 8: is is a wife?

482
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 2: I thought I heard they married.

483
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: I freak inflicting reports. Let's just let's just go with girlfriends. Yeah,

484
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: so obviously she was his babysitter.

485
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 8: She is eight years older than him, and according to

486
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 8: the Philipowski family, the female demanded Kyle cut off all communication.

487
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: With the family. So we've got that out of the way,

488
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 1: all right.

489
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 8: So just a few minutes ago, Kyle's brother Daniel went

490
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 8: on a tweet storm.

491
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: So he went on X and it is.

492
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 8: One tweet backed up after another quote, my brother is

493
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 8: a victim and was unfortunately a perfect pawn and target

494
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 8: for this girl's lifelong scheme based on his human characteristics

495
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 8: and growing potential as a high level pros which started

496
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 8: taking place in twenty nineteen, exactly at the time when

497
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 8: he began her pursuit of him.

498
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,160
Speaker 1: Close quote.

499
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 8: He goes on, quote Kyle myself, your entire family and

500
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 8: friends love you and are here for you. I have

501
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 8: received so much outreach and support from families that have

502
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 8: a child who has a fallen victim to the same

503
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 8: terrible and evil progression of psychological control and manipulation, and

504
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 8: my heart close quote. A third tweet references a term

505
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,719
Speaker 8: course of control with a bunch of PSAs that he attached,

506
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 8: including the domestic violence hotline, that includes ways in which

507
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 8: people he's trying to I guess show that he is

508
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 8: going through something that others are as well. All of

509
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 8: this is to say that this story Monsie and Steve

510
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 8: isn't going anywhere, and we're hearing some very vicious stuff

511
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 8: happening with his brother going on a constant tweets to

512
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 8: or right now about the manipulation, the psychological control he

513
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 8: went out to say, quote goes out to all the

514
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 8: families out there who have suffered through this experience in

515
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 8: the past and are currently going through this right now,

516
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,360
Speaker 8: you are not alone quote quote, and again he gives

517
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 8: out the National Domestic Violence Hotline and says, anybody in

518
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 8: a coursive control situation, please call this number.

519
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: I have a lot of stories to share along these lines.

520
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll sprinkle in during the course of the show today.

521
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: But he if indeed this is the case, and again,

522
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,679
Speaker 1: this is the perception of someone in his family of

523
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: brother It certainly is not unique in any way it is.

524
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 8: And I'll leave you all with this, just a couple

525
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 8: of notes from the NBA. You're talking about lebron James.

526
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 8: He says no to that final year of his contract,

527
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 8: the fifty one point four million dollar play option.

528
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: He does that because he.

529
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 8: Knows that he's going to get a multi year deal

530
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 8: if he backs out, so that is his expectation. And

531
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 8: then lastly, I'll leave you with this, guys, because Bronnie

532
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 8: James is going to have a chance to talk to

533
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 8: the media. We're gonna hear him on Tuesday. The Lakers

534
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 8: have set the time and the date for the introductory

535
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 8: press conference, which will be Tuesday at noon for their

536
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 8: two draft picks, Bronnie James in Dalton, connect and Monci

537
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 8: and Steve is a working back to you. I cannot

538
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 8: wait to hear the kind of questions and the kind

539
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 8: of answers we're going to hear from the media to

540
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 8: Bronnie about all the discussion revolving around him and how

541
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 8: we got into this position.

542
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: Well, I how about this question, Bronnie, do you believe

543
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,479
Speaker 1: that you would have been drafted by the Lakers if

544
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: your father wasn't playing for the team. How did I

545
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 1: knew the answer to that? There are literally thousands of

546
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: players that had similar or worse stats than he had

547
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: that obviously never got a sniff by any NBA team

548
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: and the draft. Look, I have nothing against Bronnie James.

549
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: I think he's a great kid, and I think Lebron's

550
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: a great dat. But this could actually become an uncomfortable situation.

551
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 1: We're going to get to that. All right, Thanks so much, BeFAN,

552
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: Thank you once again. This is Fox Sports Saturday. We're

553
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: coming live from the tai Iraq dot Com studios. All right, well,

554
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: joining us right now to sort it all out. For

555
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: us as he goes so graciously does every single week

556
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: is our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider Mark Medina. So Mark, obviously,

557
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: as we watched first the introductory press conference for JJ

558
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Reddick and then of course the high fiving in the

559
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: Laker war room after they took Bronnie James in the

560
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: second round, mission accomplished, right, They got the coach that

561
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: Lebron wanted, They drafted his son, so he gets everything

562
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: he wanted. And yet through the entire proceedings, Rob Polenka

563
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: maintained the stance that Lebron James had zero, zero input,

564
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: not as ounce of input in the selection of the

565
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: coach or the drafting of Bronni James. So the question

566
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 1: is should we be drinking the kool aid or just

567
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: laughing out loud at their insistence that Lebron had absolutely

568
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: no say in either one of those moves.

569
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 9: Hey, Steve, I gathered that for this introductory press conference

570
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 9: on Tuesday that we should bring a lie de picture

571
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 9: tests for everyone involved.

572
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it was unbelievable, Steve.

573
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 9: I share your skepticism, but I also think we have

574
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 9: to pay attention to the way Rob Plinka talks, is

575
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 9: that he talks like a lawyer, and so when you

576
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 9: break it down and parse each word, I think what

577
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 9: he said was accurate in terms of Lebron not having

578
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 9: heavy involvement with the coaching search, all that means was

579
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,719
Speaker 9: that where Lebron was not texting or calling him all

580
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 9: the time, saying him what to telling him what to

581
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 9: do or what not to do. But the Lakers know

582
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 9: what Lebron wants without having to speak to him, So

583
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 9: no doubt they are very well aware of how Lebron

584
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 9: feels about JJ Redick, Dan or or any other coach

585
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 9: that they've talked to. And they certainly are well aware

586
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 9: about how he feels about Bronny because he's put out

587
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 9: numerous public comments about how he would feel if Bronni

588
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 9: were able to play with them in the NBA.

589
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 2: Mark I mentioned to Steve that my brain is already

590
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: moving towards the future when it comes to what Lebron

591
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: has managed to do with the Lakers this season, in

592
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: the sense that we know he's going to be an owner.

593
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 2: Is anybody talking about like he cannot be the puppet

594
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 2: master if he becomes an owner, Like he cannot keep

595
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: doing this?

596
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 9: Well, I think a fascinating thing with Lebron and the

597
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 9: dynamic with the Lakers is that, no doubt, like with

598
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 9: every star player with the Lakers, they have influenced. But

599
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 9: when we break down each trade deadline each off season,

600
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 9: they've had a fun little dance and back and forth

601
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 9: where sometimes they really listen to what Lebron has to say,

602
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 9: another time where they hit the mute button. You know,

603
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 9: they did higher Tylo and Lebron wanted him to because

604
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 9: they couldn't agree on length of deal and size of deal.

605
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 9: They listened to him on the Russell Westbrook trade, but

606
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 9: the following trades after that they did not listen to

607
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 9: him about trading draft picks or getting Kyrie Irving last summer.

608
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 9: Now they've kind of come full circle where they've made

609
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 9: moves that they know that Lebron wants. But it's really

610
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 9: made for a very unpredictable dynamic because Lebron might pull

611
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 9: some strings behind the scenes, but a lot of times

612
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 9: that string isn't attached to anything. So it makes for

613
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 9: a very interesting discourse because the Lakers, they've been trying,

614
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 9: for better and for worse, of towing the line of

615
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 9: listening and empowering her to being empowering to their star player,

616
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 9: because that's part of what their brand is, but also

617
00:31:55,080 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 9: having some level at least some level of autonomy, And

618
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 9: I think Lebron's perspective, he feels he wants to be

619
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 9: involved because he doesn't always have trust that the front

620
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 9: office will make the right decision, all.

621
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: Right, So he opts out of the fifty one million

622
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 1: he could earn in the neighborhood of between fifty three

623
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: and fifty four million a year and a three year

624
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: deals an all NBA player. The Lakers publicly have stated

625
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: that they would adhere to that, But you know, Moncey

626
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: and I again talking about this market, why doesn't is

627
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: it a possibility he'll take considerably less because I mean,

628
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: as great as playing with your son is, imagine if

629
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: your son and you celebrate an NBA championship together, like

630
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: you know, Bronnie James is able to put an NBA

631
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: championship ring on. I have no doubt Lebron is a

632
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: great father, and I think Bronni's a great kid. But

633
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: to get there, they need more than what they have

634
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: on the roster right now, and him taking considerably less

635
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: money would make it possible to maybe get that one

636
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: missing piece that could put him over the top. Do

637
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: you think he'll do that.

638
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 9: I think he's certainly entertaining it. Now, it's very circumstantial.

639
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 9: I think it's going to depend on do the Lakers

640
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 9: have realistic candidates that could fall under that mid level exception,

641
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 9: because if he takes a pay cut, if they're under

642
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 9: the apron, that mid level exception is significantly higher than

643
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 9: if they're over. And so if that means that they

644
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 9: could get someone like DeMar DeRozan or Jonas Valenciunis, or

645
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 9: do a sign in trade to get Kway Thompson, I

646
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 9: think Lebron's all four it, And we have to keep

647
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 9: in mind when he went to Miami, for all the

648
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,479
Speaker 9: praise and criticism that he got for you know, the

649
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 9: optics of it and just the idea of joining super teams,

650
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 9: he did take a relative pay cut, Oh yeah, for

651
00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 9: it to happen. So I think, looking at Lebron's behavior,

652
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 9: or he is willing to do that, if that then

653
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 9: correlates to the team's ability to improve the roster and

654
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 9: make upgrades. But I don't think he had in fairness,

655
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 9: any any NBA player will do that just to lower

656
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,279
Speaker 9: the luxury tax bill for Genie Buss or any ownership group.

657
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 9: So I think he'll do it if there's a tangible

658
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 9: possibility that this means, okay, they can upgrade the roster.

659
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 9: But if it's you know, the same thing, regardless, he

660
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 9: will take the money.

661
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 2: Mark quick. One here is just on Twitter Clipper star

662
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: Paul George declining his forty eight point seven million dollar

663
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 2: option entry. Wow, agency freaking news right now. The Warriors

664
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: seem to be very interested in Paul George. What do

665
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 2: you think George does?

666
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 9: Well, let me just untack this first here, because you

667
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 9: are literally the first one to break the news. You

668
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 9: were saying you declined his player options. You know what's that?

669
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 9: That means that he's not going to be with the Warriors,

670
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 9: because the only way he would join the Warriors is

671
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 9: if he's taking a significant tay cut to join the

672
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 9: Warriors because they don't have any cap space. And one

673
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 9: of the reasons why you know, Paul George and the

674
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,640
Speaker 9: Clippers weren't able to agree to an extension is he

675
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 9: wanted an extra year and he didn't want to take

676
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 9: a pay cut. The only signal that would suggest he

677
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 9: was with the Warriors would be if he was exercising

678
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 9: his player option, because that would mean there could be

679
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 9: a scenario that the Clippers then trade Paul George for

680
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 9: some assets from the Warriors in return. But now he's

681
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 9: a free agent, and I think that anything can happen

682
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 9: with exception to the Warriors or off the Lips.

683
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: So there it is. Mark. One of the reasons again

684
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: Mark comes on with our show every week is not

685
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: just giving this information, but getting information from Martson. Now

686
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 1: you can run with that one, Mark, that's a very

687
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: interesting play. Well, we always appreciate the time, Mark. Obviously,

688

Speaker 1: We are live from the tire rack dot com studios,

706
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: and I'm exhausted about the Lakers. This breaking story that

707
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: you happened upon as we're about to say goodbye to

708
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: Mark Medina, but then you had to bring it up.

709
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,800
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's explore the Clippers, because I was sitting

710
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: here gonna, you know, basically say that the Lakers have

711
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: done nothing even with By the way D'Angel Russell opt

712
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: into the final year of his contract only makes it

713
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: more likely that he's going to get traded. Uh with

714
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: that price tag, he's a very valuable piece for a team.

715
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: Although he did set a Lakers single season record for

716
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: three point shots made, and JJ Reddick is a three

717
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: point shot guy. Would seem like he'd like a guy

718
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: like dlaw on the team, right, And I.

719
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: Read that Dlo said that he likes JJ's vision, and

720
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: so that makes sense, right, If he opted in and

721
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: they trade him, that would suck.

722
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: Well, I can't almost guarantee they will if they look

723
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: they need a big Man desperately me. Yeah, the Lakers

724
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: are a small team. Anthony Davis cannot be your center.

725
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: He's a forward. They need a legit center, that's what

726
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 1: they need.

727
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 2: Like dek Bay didn't.

728
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: He just yes, there are a number of centers that

729
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: are out there, and we'll see how this all plays out. Again,

730
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: Lebron's got to figure out his contract situation. I want

731
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: to talk about your Clippers though. All right, so is

732
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 1: this just Paul George opting for more money?

733
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 2: Like that'll that would be so annoying if that's what

734
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 2: this is about.

735
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:11,439
Speaker 1: You want sixty million a year, You're out of here.

736
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: You literally just said on your podcast that you don't

737
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: care about winning. You just said that you don't care

738
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 2: about the championship and that you we already knew that

739
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: Paul George wasn't a number one. We knew that, you know,

740
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: you could feel it, right, But for him to just

741
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: be so open about the fact that you don't want

742
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: to be a number one, that you don't like the

743
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: way the offense was being run with the Clippers, that

744
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 2: you don't necessarily care about the championship is a very

745
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 2: frustrating thing to hear. And if you stay on the

746
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 2: Clippers and you get more money, I am going to

747
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, lose my mind.

748
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 4: I don't I have a Paul George shirt.

749
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I just don't wear it anymore.

750
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: The dynamic for the Clippers is different than any other team,

751
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: Thank you, because of the wealth of your owner. I mean,

752
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: Steve Bomber is one of the ten wealthiest people on

753
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: the planet. He has enough money to buy the entire

754
00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: league and not blink, and so I mean he can

755
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: come up with the money for Paul George.

756
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: To the point though, this is the point, is the

757
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: principle of the matter. That's not the point, Like, come on,

758
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 2: Paul George, like go go to Philly, go to go ahead,

759
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: we already sell the temporine happening when uh John Beide

760
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 2: was looking at him in that.

761
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 1: But I mean, where's he gonna make more money?

762
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 10: I don't know.

763
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 1: I don't know he's gonna make more money than forty

764
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: nine million dollars.

765
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's where where noise?

766
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: Because clearly once we signed Kawhi, I was like, all right, fine,

767
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: run it back.

768
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 4: Is that fine, let's do it?

769
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: And now he leaves. I mean, look, the reason that

770
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: they basically gave away everything including shake Gilgess Alexander. To

771
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: get Paul George was to get Kawhi Leonard in a

772
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: Clippers uniform. So here we are, you know, six years

773
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: later and ran. But how do you think Kawhi reacts that?

774
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: Paul George walks.

775
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 2: Right right, So this seems like he wants leverage, and

776
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 2: it's just like, why are you doing this, Paul George?

777
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 2: Why why can't you just opt in and just run

778
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 2: it back? Which was the plan? You know, that was

779
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 2: the plan when they sign Kawhi. You know they spoke

780
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: about it. There's no way they did it. This is

781
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: very annoying, it's very frustrating. Story of my life is

782
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 2: a Glippers fan story of my life.

783
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: Can you imagine getting so numb to the idea of

784
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: forty eight point seven million dollars right that you don't

785
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 1: sign off on it and you find that as an insult.

786
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: You're insulting Paul George.

787
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: How many rings does he have?

788
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 2: Settle Settle, Settle.

789
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 1: Isn't a notorious or playing considerably worse in the postseason

790
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: than he does on the regulation that.

791
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,320
Speaker 2: One during the pandemic, which was like dear, super terrible.

792
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:44,880
Speaker 2: He got better, he got better, Brian over there is

793
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 2: laughing playoff Pete.

794
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and it's like I like, you know, it's

795
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 4: like I want.

796
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 2: To support you, Paul George, but this, this is not

797
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: the way to go.

798
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 4: This is not the option.

799
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: Well, we're gonna see a lot of interesting stories coming

809
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: this is another MONTHI creation.

810
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone's gonna be involved. It's get some multiple choice questions,

811
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 2: some just straight up.

812
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 1: So everything directed about the fourth of July.

813
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 2: Everything's connected to the fourth of July. A little pop culture,

814
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,720
Speaker 2: little history, a little baseball, yes, of course, of course,

815
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: so a little bit of everything.

816
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: They used to have this thing in baseball way back

817
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: in the day that the team that was in first

818
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 1: place on the fourth of July would end up winning

819
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: the Pennant. Oh that was way back in the day.

820
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's a little different calendar now.

821
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 4: Definitely.

822
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 1: Do you have a family structure for your fourth at

823
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: July holiday?

824
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: No, we haven't. I mean there's no kids in the family.

825
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: Now we have two little nephews, three and like five

826
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: months old. So I'm sure now maybe it'll start to

827
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 2: pick up again, but it kind of died down. Like

828
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 2: I think the last time together that we did fireworks

829
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 2: was maybe when I was in high school, and then

830
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 2: we stopped just because you know, it's expensive and it's

831
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 2: just kind of like I don't need to see the fireworks. Although,

832
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: like I did text my two girlfriends, I was like,

833
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: should we like get together and like light stuff up?

834
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: Although I use a different word for stuff, you know.

835
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 2: I was like, should we light stuff up? And they're like, yeah,

836
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,279
Speaker 2: let's do it. So now we're going to do something

837
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 2: on Thursday. So I'm back on it this year.

838
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:56,000
Speaker 1: Last year, yeah, we find a way to see fireworks. Yes,

839
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: living out in the Westlake Village area. Last year we

840
00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: went to this top of this exclusive area where you

841
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 1: really had a great sight but there was a fence

842
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: with signage everywhere saying do not go over this fence.

843
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: You will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

844
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,399
Speaker 1: Which course my kid's completely ignored, you know. And again

845
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: I don't have young kids. Yes, yes, And they sat

846
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 1: there and I thought, well, if you want to take

847
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: a chance, don't expect me to bail you out. You know,

848
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: you're on your own. They did not get arrested, and

849
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: they did have a good site for the fireworks. I

850
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: love watching fireworks, I really do.

851
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: Your kids also seem like they could get out of

852
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: a jam, like, they seem like they could talk themselves

853
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 2: out of a jam.

854
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: Well, they learned that from there, Oh, I'm sure.

855
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,720
Speaker 2: I'm sure Mom and Dad taught them one hundred percent.

856
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 2: I also feel like now fireworks are just easily accessible.

857
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 2: At least you're in socol You can go to Disney

858
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 2: and you don't have to go inside Disney.

859
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: Just go to Anaheim. They have fireworks every time.

860
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: You can see them, see them. I've literally been on

861
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 1: the freeway and seeing that show many times over.

862
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 4: The years, every night.

863
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: So I also think that has is the reason it's down,

864
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: you know, over the years, because if you just see

865
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: the fireworks.

866
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we're going to celebrate a little bit

867
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: of the fourth of July Holly with some trivia coming

868
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: up later on in this hour. I wanted to bring

869
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: up a point montsee in the aftermath of the Lakers

870
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: drafting Bronnie James. And this has nothing to do with

871
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: nepotism or anything along those lines, But if you've been

872
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: following nil money, Bronnie James was making more nil money

873
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: than any other athlete out there, despite the fact that

874
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: he was second team All League his senior year of

875
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: high school, the fact that he sat on the bench

876
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: on a bad USC team averaging less than five points

877
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: a game. In terms of nil money, he was still

878
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:49,240
Speaker 1: making because of his name, more money than anyone else,

879
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: and the structure of a second round pick NBA contract,

880
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: he will be making considerably less money than he was

881
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: making while sitting on the bench at USC.

882
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 3: Now.

883
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: Rich Paul, of course, is his father's longtime friend and

884
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: agent also representing Ronnie James. Apparently, it's reported had told

885
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 1: every other NBA team do not draft Ronnie James. I

886
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: don't know if anyone actually thought about raffing, but it

887
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 1: makes it sound good like everybody's after this kid. But anyway,

888
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: do not draft him, because if you do, he will

889
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: not play for you, he will not sign with you,

890
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: he will go to Australia and that'll be that. But

891
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: it got me thinking, and I'm turning to the NFL

892
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: because in the NFL, more than any other sport, being

893
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 1: in the right place at the right time matters. There

894
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:57,120
Speaker 1: are so many great collegiate players who we turn bust

895
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: because they didn't play at the level at that NFL,

896
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: at the NFL level like they did in college. And

897
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: more often than not, the reason they didn't play at

898
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: the high level in the NFL is they were drafted

899
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,680
Speaker 1: by a bad team, a bad organization. There are a

900
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: lot of organizations. I always talk about the Charger organization,

901
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,640
Speaker 1: and for good reason. The charge organization is one of

902
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 1: the classic examples of an organization that if they do win,

903
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: it's by accident. I'll give you an example. Back in

904
00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, they had the first pick in

905
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: the draft. Michael Vick out of Virginia Tech was going

906
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: to be the first pick. They decided they didn't want

907
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: to pay Michael Vick oh no, so they traded out

908
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: of the pick. So they ended up with the fifth

909
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and they used that on Ladanian Tomlinson,

910
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: and then with the first pick in the second round,

911
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: they took Drew Brees. Turned out pretty good to first

912
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 1: ballot Hall time.

913
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it worked out, but you're saying they

914
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 2: were trying to make it work.

915
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: They were they didn't want to pay Michael Vig with

916
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. As it turned out, they

917
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: got guys that helped them win Division titles five and

918
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 1: a six year span. So that's what happens. But now,

919
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: because of this nil money that's already in the pockets

920
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 1: of these players as they enter into the NFL draft,

921
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 1: the idea, I mean, we know that John Elway had

922
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: said he didn't want to play for the Colts. We

923
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: know that Eli Manning said that he didn't want to

924
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: play for the Chargers back in the day. They end

925
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: up drafting then trading them in both cases. But what's

926
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: going to prevent these college guys from basically telling certain

927
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: teams do not draft me. I have no interest because

928
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: it's not about the money, it's not about the privilege.

929
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: I will decide which team I will go to. Much

930
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,959
Speaker 1: as obviously Brownie James the decision was made exactly which

931
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: team he was going to be drafted by.

932
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 2: That's part of the problem that's happening right now, right

933
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: with Brownie James doing this. You wonder how this will

934
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 2: maybe bleed into other sports, and you just brought up

935
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 2: a very good point.

936
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 4: I feel that it can get messy.

937
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: But you know what if a player does try to

938
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: do that, a player come coming out of college that

939
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 2: makes a lot of money and wants to try and

940
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: manipulate where they go, and maybe the teams get together,

941
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: owners get together and they're like, you know, we're just

942
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 2: not gonna draft this kid.

943
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 4: That would be the only way to stop it. They

944
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 4: would have to make.

945
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: A very strong stance early on when someone's trying to

946
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: do that, because remember right before Caleb Williams rumors, oh,

947
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,640
Speaker 2: he's not gonna go he doesn't want to go to Chicago.

948
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 2: Obviously that didn't happen. He's in Chicago. They're trying to

949
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 2: set them up for success, and I know not all

950
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: situations end up like Joe Burrow going to Cincinnati and

951
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 2: you know, turning that program around. But it would have

952
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: to be on the owners and the teams to not

953
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 2: let that happen from the beginning. If somebody does do that,

954
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 2: they got to shut it down. You cannot let that happen.

955
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: The draft is so illegal. I mean, how many people

956
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:17,840
Speaker 1: listening out there were drafted into their job? Imagine seriously,

957
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 1: so watsie. Let's say you come out of school, right,

958
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: and you want to be a broadcaster, Yeah, all right,

959
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: and they have a draft, huh, and you're drafted in

960
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 1: a city in the middle of nowhere, you know, because

961
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: they need your services, and you're like, I don't want

962
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: to live there, I don't want to work there.

963
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 3: I am zero.

964
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: I remember Jim Kelly, the Hall of Fame quarterback with

965
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. So he was at the University of

966
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: Miami and he got drafted by the Buffalo Bills. At

967
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,279
Speaker 1: the same time, there was a new league in the

968
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: United States Football League. He immediately signed with the new league,

969
00:49:57,520 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: and they asked him, why did you sign and not

970
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: go to the NFL. I played in Miami, Do I

971
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 1: really want to be in Buffalo? Well, ironically, of course,

972
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: the league ends up folding, and guess who still holds

973
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: his draft rights are those Buffalo Bills, And he ends

974
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: up a Hall of Fame career in a Buffalo legend,

975
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: but he had an option. I'm not playing for the

976
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:18,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills.

977
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: I'm going to.

978
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: Sign with this new league in Houston where I don't

979
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: have to freeze my ass off. And that's what it

980
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 1: should be. You should have options. The NFL has a

981
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:36,359
Speaker 1: monopoly like no other sport, and I don't think it's

982
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 1: a bad thing. I just I would just so many

983
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 1: careers have been ruined in the NFL where players end

984
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 1: up in the wrong system, wrong team, wrong place, wrong time,

985
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: of no fault of their own, but victimized by a draft.

986
00:50:58,400 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, but if are so bad

987
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: they I mean they are, yeah.

988
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: Good theater, but they are not good.

989
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 2: But if you're able, if you're going to allow, and

990
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 2: I agree with what you're saying about, you should have

991
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 2: an option. But nil is what makes this messy, right,

992
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 2: because now it's it's like a money thing where you want.

993
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 4: To pick where you go.

994
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 2: If that were to happen, though, Steve the the discrepancy

995
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: between good and bad teams is going to get even

996
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 2: further apart.

997
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: All right, But here's that, here's gets back to the point.

998
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying baseball Baseball didn't have a

999
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 1: draft until nineteen sixty five. The NFL had one in

1000
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: the beginning, so the NBA, but baseball didn't. Then the

1001
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,479
Speaker 1: Yankees dominated. But here's my point. If if you don't

1002
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: have a draft and every kid is a free agent

1003
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 1: to sign with whatever team they want to sign for,

1004
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: then it puts pressure on the other teams to step

1005
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:54,280
Speaker 1: up their game. This idea that you get guaranteed TV

1006
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: money in the NFL no matter how much, how much

1007
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: how bad you are as an organization, and there's no

1008
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: pressure on these owners to win.

1009
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 2: To counter, you just said that there are teams who

1010
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 2: don't care about winning, So.

1011
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: Get him out of here.

1012
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 4: Then that's a separate conversation.

1013
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: Now ownership out that doesn't have the same intent in

1014
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: building a winning organization.

1015
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 2: One agree with that, but owners don't care sometimes get

1016
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 2: him out of How can we do that? Because I

1017
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 2: think I agree with.

1018
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: That more than how many people are hostage to an

1019
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: owner of your favorite team that doesn't care a lot

1020
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: of them? Now you have a good one. Steve Bombers

1021
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 1: hell been on winning. He hasn't made the right moves,

1022
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 1: but he's hell been on winning, right.

1023
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, he doesn't a good one for a very long time, No,

1024
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 2: very long time.

1025
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: So how were those years?

1026
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 3: Oh?

1027
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 2: Rough, rough, rough, frouff. Except for you know, lob City

1028
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 2: was fun. Love City was great.

1029
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: I will say his draft lottery parties ticket speaking of

1030
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: Donald Sterley were phenomenal. He would invite to me, he

1031
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 1: would have the all dressed in white pardy up in Malibu.

1032
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,360
Speaker 1: I was like one of those, were you, oh yes,

1033
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: oh look at you. That was way back in the

1034
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 1: late eighties. I believe it was Danny Manning was with

1035
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 1: the team and yeah, it was uh. By the way,

1036
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: he had an executive secretary, That's how she was introduced

1037
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: to me. Donald Sterley, this lady come out and like

1038
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: my knees buckled.

1039
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:22,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, wow, rearly. He had many of those right

1040
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 2: throughout the years. So you since you were around him

1041
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 2: at that time, because like all I've ever known of

1042
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 2: Donald Sterling, he doesn't seem like a very charming man.

1043
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: He was a very strange man. I was standing next

1044
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: to him one time at Staples Center and you know,

1045
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: they would take they would cover the Laker banners with

1046
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:47,720
Speaker 1: their own long you know, some of their star players,

1047
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 1: and I literally was standing next to him, and I

1048
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,840
Speaker 1: just said to him, I said, would you like the

1049
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: day where you don't have to hang those you can

1050
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: actually hang a championship banner? He said something along the

1051
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: lines like yeah, that's it. Just he didn't completely ignore me,

1052
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, it wasn't much of an answer.

1053
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, because have you watched Clipped yet? I a little

1054
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 2: bit a little bit so even just in the first episode,

1055
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 2: if you watched a little piece of it, ed O'Neill

1056
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: is doing it. He's like too charming as Donald Sterling,

1057
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 2: and that's I was like, No, he wasn't like that.

1058
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 4: Donald Curly was not a charming guy, and I feel

1059
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 4: like Ed O'Neill is like.

1060
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 2: Too charming for the role, you know.

1061
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: So you know, it's not like Winning Time where John

1062
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 1: c Riley did a really good Jerry bust.

1063
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, not at all.

1064
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 4: And I like, I like Ed O'Neill.

1065
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: I was just like, this is not the way I

1066
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 2: would go, you know.

1067
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was strange.

1068
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: That's what I've always just like. I remember seeing him

1069
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 2: and I was like, you just don't seem like like

1070
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 2: a fun guy or a charming guy, like nobody wants

1071
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 2: to talk to you.

1072
00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 4: That's the vibe I always got.

1073
00:54:52,560 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. Yeah, he wasn't a charmy. You should

1074
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:57,439
Speaker 1: have seen him back in there La Sports Arena days.

1075
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: I mean, and this was before all of the drama.

1076
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 2: You could just see him sitting at the games and

1077
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 2: he was just like, ugh, like.

1078
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:08,320
Speaker 1: You know, like Jerry Buss hanging out with all the playmates, right.

1079
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: Or Steve Bomber cheering his butt off every time, you know.

1080
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: Like he's such a regular guy, except that bank account.

1081
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 2: Except a bank account.

1082
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 3: It was with one.

1083
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: Hundred billion dollars in county.

1084
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 2: I would buy an island.

1085
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 1: Is that what you do?

1086
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:22,440

1117
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: history is being made in baseball. And by the way,

1118
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: let's recognize another Hall of Famer that just passed away,

1119
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:59,360
Speaker 1: Orlando Cepada. Now it's another name from my childhood. He

1120
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: was the first National League player to be unanimously selected

1121
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 1: as the Most Valuable Player in nineteen sixty seven, he

1122
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 1: left the Giants, great star with the stampsukos So Giants,

1123
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 1: and he went to the Cardinals and he had this

1124
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: breakout season in nineteen sixty seven. Chat as he was

1125
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,959
Speaker 1: known back in the day, great player and ironically, of course,

1126
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: a teammate of Willie Mays for a number of years,

1127
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: who also recently passed away. A contemporary of theirs was

1128
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: the great Frank Robinson Cincinnati Reds and then obviously great

1129
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: years of the Baltimore Orioles, who was also the first

1130
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: African American to be a major league manager. So one

1131
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: of the historic figures in the history of baseball. But

1132
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: he did something that still to this day has never

1133
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: happened since Frank Robinson is the only player ever to

1134
00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: have been the most valuable player in both the National

1135
00:57:51,880 --> 00:57:56,200
Speaker 1: League and the American League. Yeah, and right now it

1136
00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to have company because show Hao

1137
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: Tani right now as we sit here, is leading the

1138
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: National League in let's count the categories. He leads the

1139
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: league in batting average, he leads the league in slugging percentage,

1140
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,160
Speaker 1: he leads the league in ops, he leads the league

1141
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 1: in home runs, he leads the league in runs scored. Yeah,

1142
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: add that up, and that's MVP for show Heyo Tani.

1143
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: Now you work with the Dodgers organization. Some people were

1144
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: reacting like, how would he be as just a DH

1145
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: since he's not pitching this year and hopefully in the

1146
00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: returning to the mound next season. The answer obviously is

1147
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,120
Speaker 1: really well, yeah, yeah, but what has been the vibe

1148
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: around the Dodgers and show Heo Tani.

1149
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just still pure excitement, especially because he

1150
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 2: didn't start super hot. He started fine, but then he

1151
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 2: kind of really got in the zone and he really

1152
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:00,000
Speaker 2: started to thrive. Now he moved into the leadoff position

1153
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: and he's killing it. And then there's a conversation right

1154
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 2: now happening when Muki comes back. Do you not put

1155
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 2: him back in the leadoff? Do you keep show Hao

1156
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: Tani there? And that is the discussion right now, what

1157
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 2: happens when Muki comes back? And what five weeks?

1158
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 10: Issuers?

1159
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: I mean, do we have a timetable? I mean I

1160
00:59:18,720 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: think they have to fracture the hand on that pitch.

1161
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1162
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: I think originally they had said six seven ish weeks,

1163
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 2: So now I'm gonna say five ish weeks. We're still

1164
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 2: we're still away.

1165
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,880
Speaker 4: They haven't given an official date, but I'm gonna say.

1166
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 2: Five ish weeks and there's still just, honestly a very

1167
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,280
Speaker 2: high level of excitement. It's like we just started the

1168
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 2: season yesterday. Fans still coming in trying to get a

1169
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 2: glimpse of.

1170
00:59:41,800 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 4: Show Heyo Tani.

1171
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 2: Like literally, it has not wavered, and he keeps delivering

1172
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: and right now like he he is a star. Like

1173
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 2: there have been three consistencies for the Dodgers this entire season,

1174
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 2: Show Heyo Tani, Freddie Freeman, and the bullpen.

1175
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 4: Those are the three consistencies that.

1176
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 2: We have had as Dodger as a Dodger team, and

1177
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 2: Show Hey is has one hundred percent lived up to

1178
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 2: the expectation that I think everybody had.

1179
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: I heard a bat boy saved him. Yeah, yes, so

1180
01:00:15,280 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: there was a foul ball. What was a story?

1181
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it was a foul ball and one of

1182
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 2: the bad boys caught it with his hand and you

1183
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 2: saw his translator if you didn't see the video, will

1184
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 2: his translator's face was like in awe, like, oh my goodness,

1185
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: you just saved show Hey, Tommy it is. It was

1186
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 2: such a good video. I don't know the reflexes on

1187
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 2: that bad boy to catch it with his hand, his

1188
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 2: bare hand.

1189
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 4: That was nuts.

1190
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Now do you think show Hay would be He wouldn't

1191
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 1: do it publicly, but privately give the kid a few

1192
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: extra bucks in his pocket for saving him.

1193
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if about a few extra bucks, but

1194
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me if we later found out that

1195
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:57,440
Speaker 2: he got a signed ball, that same ball that saved

1196
01:00:57,440 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: his life. Maybe he signed it private. He is a

1197
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 2: very private dude. But that video is so great just

1198
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 2: because Will's face his translator.

1199
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm watching that video again. It is insane. We look, Mozzie,

1200
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: look at this. Look at this kid's reaction. Yeah, that

1201
01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 1: is unreal.

1202
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, caught it with both hands and it's it

1203
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 2: is coming.

1204
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 4: It is coming.

1205
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean is literally holding his hands up covering himself

1206
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: as the ball's coming at him.

1207
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 2: And yeah, kid, that's the real MVP.

1208
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: That was unbelievable by this kid. You gotta check this

1209
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: out if you see this video out there. Bat Boy

1210
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,720
Speaker 1: saves O Tawny from foul ball was coming right at him,

1211
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: could have hit him in the head. Now he did

1212
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 1: have a helmet on, but.

1213
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, it could have been a very bad moment.

1214
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: For the Dodgers another injury this season.

1215
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 4: No, it's great.

1216
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 2: The video is great.

1217
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 4: If you have not looked at it.

1218
01:01:55,080 --> 01:02:00,840
Speaker 1: That is insanity. Hill he caught that ball. It is amazing.

1219
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: I mean watching every home run he hit is like

1220
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty feet. It's insane.

1221
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 2: Right, he goes up to that and you're not wondering, Oh,

1222
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 2: is he gonna hit the ball?

1223
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:11,919
Speaker 4: You're wondering is he gonna hit a home run?

1224
01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: Like you are just powered to all directions. It doesn't

1225
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: matter that ball gets in the air, it is gone.

1226
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 2: And then some This year he has hit more balls

1227
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,600
Speaker 2: opposite side of the field than he has in his

1228
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 2: entire career.

1229
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 4: Like you just said, he can hit the ball wherever

1230
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,919
Speaker 4: he wants. It's it's ridiculous.

1231
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous.

1232
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: When you have just amazing talent in any sport, you

1233
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: gotta see it. And right now that is show. Hey

1234
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: Otani putting up MVP numbers again.

1235
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 2: Should he participate in the home runner?

1236
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:49,040
Speaker 1: No? No, no, hard No. The home run derby has

1237
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: run its course.

1238
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 2: You think so.

1239
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 1: I also I used to remember the best part was

1240
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: the home run Derby back in the days when guys

1255
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: message to kids and all this kind of stuff, But

1256
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:48,480

01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: You see, like, how far can we push this?

1259
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,280

01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 4: But I'm with you. I'm with you.

1264
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,280

Speaker 1: we can do. Right now, I wouldn't do it but

1266
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have already that athletic ability and

1267
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 1: we can push it just a little bit further, why not.

1268
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 2: I am with you on that.

1269
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if this guy has purity in his heart.

Speaker 1: like that's it, you're done.

1277
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:41,240
Speaker 6: No?

1278
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:43,960

1280
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:50,640

Speaker 3: Right?

1284
01:04:57,400 --> 01:05:03,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the idea. How is he doing commercials for peds?

1285
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: And then you say you can't use peak. That's a

1286
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: great point, Steve.

1287
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 8: I never thought about that, but that's where you are

1288
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 8: at your best. I mean, when you're talking about swinging

1289
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 8: your Louisville slugger. I love how you took the bait,

1290
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 8: how I went there, And then you knocked it out

1291
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 8: of the park.

1292
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: I had to. You had to.

1293
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 8: You are notorious for that, by the way. You said

1294
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:29,480
Speaker 8: something up purity. Yeah, I'm wearing my purity ring, are you?

1295
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:30,479
Speaker 3: No? Not quite?

1296
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: Are you going to get ready to wear a wedding ring,

1297
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: which is three weeks away? I better be ready because

1298
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: of getting me. You know about your wedding ring. Have

1299
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: you have you got a wedding ring already or well?

1300
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 8: Or you're going to be surprised if the one that

1301
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 8: I got doesn't get here in time.

1302
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: I could just grab one out of a cereal box

1303
01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: and just get one of those.

1304
01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 8: So I just got to hope that she says yes,

1305
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 8: And we're still hoping that.

1306
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: Well. Here here. When I when I got married and

1307
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:58,919
Speaker 1: I had a wedding, I've never worned. I'd never wear

1308
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: a watch. I never wear I had zero. It took

1309
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: some getting used to it, to be honest with you.

1310
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:06,960
Speaker 8: And even when you were married, you just kept taking

1311
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 8: off that wedding ring for some reason.

1312
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: Well, actually I did lose it at home.

1313
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure you lost it lost with yeah, yeah quotes.

1314
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: You know you just sort of sitting there all the time.

1315
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, of course.

1316
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: You just you know, you always have it. You're a golfer.

1317
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 8: You always have that golf glove on your left hand,

1318
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 8: and then all of a sudden things aren't seen. Yeah,

1319
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,480
Speaker 8: but I'll tell you what you guys were talking about,

1320
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 8: Paul George, And according to ESPN, Paul George wants no

1321
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 8: strings attached. He is shooting down the forty eight point

1322
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 8: seven million dollar player option in order to embark into

1323
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 8: the free agency world and essentially George is playing the field.

1324
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 8: He's starting negotiations with other teams along with the Clips

1325
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 8: starting Sunday night. Russell Westbrook is good with the four

1326
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 8: million dollar player option to come back with the Clippers

1327
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 8: next season. Lebron James's agent, Rich Paul of Clutch Sports

1328
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 8: recently telling ESPN the James opting out of his final

1329
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 8: year of his current Laker deal is actually willing to

1330
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 8: work with the franchise on an accommodating multi year contract

1331
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 8: to make financial room for a significant roster addition, saying

1332
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 8: that there is an opportunity and that James will be

1333
01:07:20,480 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 8: open to that question is are the Lakers actually going

1334
01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 8: to make that happen? But he is willing Steven Montse

1335
01:07:27,840 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 8: to give away if you will some of his money

1336
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 8: to try and welcome in an impact Mike player. Well,

1337
01:07:35,360 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 8: I mean that's what he should do, right, Yes, and

1338
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,280
Speaker 8: we talked about that. I mean, say what about Lebron James.

1339
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: As great as it is to have the opportunity to

1340
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 1: play with his son, imagine if they celebrate a championship together.

1341
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 2: Oh right, all all the people talking smack right now

1342
01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 2: would be eating their words.

1343
01:07:55,800 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 1: Uh, no doubt.

1344
01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:57,040

01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I get jumped again. Patrick, Independence Day, We're

1463
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: my Ryan Marts.

1464
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 2: Close close stars Tom Hanks.

1465
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: Oh that saving Private Ryan.

1466
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 2: Saving Private Ryan. That is correct?

1467
01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 1: All right, I got to go there, Steve, all right, this.

1468
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 2: Will be fun. How many versions of the US flag

1469
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 2: have we had?

1470
01:13:53,840 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: Oh, Chris Chris ow twelve? No, well like they added

1471
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: stars many times, so each one of those would count.

1472
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 8: Brian Brian, was it thirty seven? Because if you have

1473
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 8: thirteen original and then every time you add on a state,

1474
01:14:12,880 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 8: you add on a star.

1475
01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,840
Speaker 1: Sometimes they added multiple states at a time.

1476
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is logical. I like it, but it's not it.

1477
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:20,840
Speaker 2: But I like where you were going.

1478
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,599

Speaker 12: twenty four because Kobe Bryant.

1480
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,280

01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:32,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm saying, Steve, twenty seven.

1482
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,719
Speaker 2: Twenty seven exactly as computer?

1483
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: What's on my computer? Is there anything else?

1484
01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,920
Speaker 2: No? Nothing, nothing, nothing of that. Okay, all right? What

1485
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 2: two pictures reached three thousand strikeouts on the fourth of July,

1486
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:50,759
Speaker 2: both of them in the eighties.

1487
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:59,200
Speaker 1: Wow, Steve, whenever you want to answer this one. All right,

1488
01:14:59,280 --> 01:15:01,720
Speaker 1: So strikeouts in the eighties. There were a number of

1489
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 1: pictures that did that in the eighties, to be honest

1490
01:15:03,560 --> 01:15:03,840
Speaker 1: with you.

1491
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, two of them happened on fourth of July.

1492
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: I'm only guessing. Let's see, let's say one of them

1493
01:15:09,800 --> 01:15:17,640
Speaker 1: is Steve Carlton, Nolan Ryan, Yes, Nolan Ryan, and the

1494
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: other would.

1495
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:21,480
Speaker 2: Be four years later, Brian, Brian.

1496
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: Babe Ruth, Let's see, yes, dude. Would it be Don Sutton?

1497
01:15:29,840 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 4: No, but that's a good guest.

1498
01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:32,719
Speaker 1: But Bill Nicro that's it.

1499
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 2: You're so annoying. You're so annoying. Okay, let's do one

1500
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 2: one last one here that I wanted to ask everybody.

1501
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 4: Okay, so we all.

1502
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 2: Know hot dogs are the most eaten, right like when

1503
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 2: it comes to fourth of July, everybody should know that

1504
01:15:49,120 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 2: hot dogs and that means like the buns and the

1505
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:55,000
Speaker 2: actual hot dog. What is the third most consumed food

1506
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 2: on fourth of July?

1507
01:15:56,439 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Patrick chicken wings? No, right, say that again?

1508
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 2: So the yeah, but it's considered one and two with

1509
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 2: the buns, and like the hot dog, it'sfe So the

1510
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 2: third most sould Chris Chris.

1511
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Hamburger No Fourth of July ban apple pie. No, but

1512
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: that's a good guess.

1513
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,759
Speaker 2: That's a good one. It's think of it as a side,

1514
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 2: not a maine.

1515
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,120

01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 5: No, Patrick Coleslaw, No Chris French Fries, no mustard.

1517
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 2: No potato chips. Potato chips are the third most consumed

1518
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,600
Speaker 2: after hot dogs. Well, I started to keep track, but

1519
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 2: then Steve was kicking everyone's butt, so I stopped because

1520
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 2: Steve won the fourth Uh, I mean yeah, that's on

1521

1528
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,080

Speaker 1: Sports Saturday, Steve Harvey, Moncie Belanias here Fox Sports Saturday.

1530
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,600
Speaker 1: Did you have a chance to see Game seven of

1531
01:17:23,640 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup Final? Oh?

1532
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:26,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was very exciting.

1533
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 2: Costa Rica was also playing Brazil at the very same time,

1534
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 2: so I was going back and forth between the two.

1535
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:32,639
Speaker 2: Very exciting.

1536
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: It's just it was a great game with a two

1537
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 1: to one game and the Panthers. Yeah, yeah, they came

1538
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: up with some big saves. And Connor McDavid, as I

1539
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:47,559
Speaker 1: told everybody before we were talking to Rich and I

1540
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: were talking about it on the Sunday Show, don't be

1541
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: surprised if Connor McDavid wins the con smythe as because

1542
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: it's not the NBA Finals MVP or the World Series MVP.

1543
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,120
Speaker 1: It's playoff MVP and Connor McDavid of course set all

1544
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: kinds of records for Edmonton. Uh, they came close, yes,

1545
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: and I know it upset some of the hometown fans.

1546
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: Gary Betman, the commissioner, he's out there and he announces

1547
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 1: that McDavid wins the con Smith. Well, McDavid wasn't going

1548
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 1: to come out in the ice after losing Game seven

1549
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 1: of the Stanley Cup Final to accept the award.

1550
01:18:22,960 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 4: Which I found appropriate.

1551
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, why would he? I mean this is really ridiculous,

1552
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, based on the entirety of the playoffs. I mean,

1553
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: he was clearly the most valuable player.

1554
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 5: Yes, of course, the entirety of the playoffs for the

1555
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup, right, Like this makes sense even though it's

1556
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,920
Speaker 5: for an award for the entire playoff MVP performance. But

1557
01:18:42,360 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 5: this is a sport where guys won't touch any other trophy. Yes,

1558
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 5: and that's got to sting, probably more than a finals

1559
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 5: MVP on a losing record, just because it's like you

1560
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 5: worked all your way to get up here and he

1561
01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 5: came and you fell short.

1562
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I actually the last it's the sixth time

1563
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: it's happened. The last time it happened was JS Jiguere,

1564
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:04,720
Speaker 1: the goalie for the Ducks Mighty Ducks. They lost the

1565
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 1: Stanley Cup Final back in OH three. They would win

1566
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 1: it four years later, but he had an incredible playoff

1567
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: run and he right Lee was named the MVP. So

1568
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with that. No, I look

1569
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:18,400
Speaker 1: at I I've said this many times. Do I religiously

1570
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: follow the NHL. I'd be lying if I said yes.

1571
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: But I'll sit down and watch that kind of playoff

1572
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: game any day of the week. It's a game seven

1573
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: after they were down three to zero. Yeah, you had

1574
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 1: to be there, and it was a close game and

1575
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: it was well played, and yeah, I mean that was

1576
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:42,519
Speaker 1: And honestly, the way they end their season incredible is unmatched. Yes,

1577
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 1: it brilliant anyone else. The traditions in the NHL. You know,

1578
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 1: they had their award show recently and everything else, the

1579
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,880
Speaker 1: great awards they give out, but the way that they

1580
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: handle the presentation of the Stanley Cup, you know, some

1581
01:19:57,360 --> 01:20:00,720
Speaker 1: of the idiosyncrasies about you know, you can't unless you're

1582
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,080
Speaker 1: on that winning team. I love all that stuff me too.

1583
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 2: I was watching it with a friend and who had

1584
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,439
Speaker 2: never really sat through a hockey game, and she was like,

1585
01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,720
Speaker 2: so each of them gets to carry for a day

1586
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 2: and almost like.

1587
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, they carry, but they each for a day.

1588
01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but you know carrying She's like, they're gonna fall.

1589
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 2: They're gonna fall in the ice with this trophy. I

1590
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,720
Speaker 2: was like, dude, they're professional skaters, are fine. But one

1591
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 2: of them did kind of have like a little bit

1592
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:23,200
Speaker 2: of a slip and he was fine.

1593
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:24,439
Speaker 4: But I really liked that.

1594
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 2: The fans, you know, the fifteenth guy who was going

1595
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 2: around the ice, they were still standing.

1596
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 4: They were still there.

1597
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, was there for thirty years as a franchise.

1598
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 3: They they're there.

1599
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 1: Those fans are probably still there. Yeah, you gotta won't worry.

1600
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 5: About what's gonna happen the Stanley Cup later when they

1601
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 5: have it for themselves. A lot of things get put

1602
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 5: in that cup.

1603
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:44,760
Speaker 1: There are legendary stories about that cup and what it

1604
01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: is seen. All I know is that by the time

1605
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 1: everyone's done having that cup for a day, they definitely

1606
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: sterilize it.

1607
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:51,879
Speaker 2: That things.

Speaker 1: This time I will be having to not say my name.

1621
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 2: No you want to have to compete.

1622
01:21:38,280 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: I will not have any competition in that one. So

1623
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 1: that'll be coming up later on in this hour. Kaylin Clark,

1624
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 1: we really don't go this long without talking about it,

1625
01:21:49,040 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: but we got to talk about her because she has

1626
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 1: a much anticipated showdown with her Indiana Fever teammates tomorrow.

1627
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: They'll be facing off against the the Mercury Mercury. Yeah,

1628
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: that's the Phoenix team, right, the Phoenix Mercury, And of

1629
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,759
Speaker 1: course Brittney Grinder's on that team, but more so, Diana

1630
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 1: Tarassi is on that team. Now. If you remember, during

1631
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, Diana Tarassi made plenty of comments less

1632
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: than complimentary of Kaitlin Clark, basically making it clear that

1633
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 1: she's not the best collegiate player, much less someone that's

1634
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: going to have some kind of immediate impact in the WNBA.

1635
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: She's in for a root awakening, and she got a

1636
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: lot of criticism. She was doing like a the Simoncastle

1637
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: sue byrd, another WNBA legend, and a lot of people

1638
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:46,360
Speaker 1: were put up by Diana Tarossi's comments. So Dina Tarassi

1639
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:52,960
Speaker 1: was asked about finally facing off against Kitlyn Clark, and

1640
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 1: she was on video and they said what do you

1641
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 1: think about it? And she said, yeah, it'll be fun.

1642
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 2: And then looks away and the camera keeps rolling. It's

1643
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 2: so good, It's so good.

1644
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 3: All right.

1645
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: So Diana Tarassi has been playing in the WNBA for

1646
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: twenty years, she's been around forever. She's about to participate

1647
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: in her sixth Olympic Games. And with that kind of resume,

1648
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,839
Speaker 1: if you were to say Diana Tarassi versus Caitlin Clark,

1649
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 1: she doesn't get a single vote in terms of popularity,

1650
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: name recognition, or any of it. Yeah, and this does

1651
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:42,559
Speaker 1: not sit well with Diana Tarassi. I mean, it doesn't

1652
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 1: sit well with a lot of veterans in the WNBA,

1653
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: But for someone that has been part of this league

1654
01:23:48,160 --> 01:23:51,960
Speaker 1: longer than any other player, the league's all time leading scorer,

1655
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: this is really hard for her. And my attitude is,

1656
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 1: get with the game, Diana. I mean, you've dedicated let's

1657
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: put it this way, You've dedicated twenty years to this

1658
01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 1: league pretty much an anonymity, and now someone has come

1659
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: along to give this league that you've given twenty years

1660
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 1: of your life to the recognition that it never dreamt

1661
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: it would ever get. Why is that so hard for

1662
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:24,879
Speaker 1: her to embrace?

1663
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:30,799
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I sympathize with her because I

1664
01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 2: understand that this has to just be hard for her.

1665
01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:38,479
Speaker 2: She has been trying to put the WNBA on the

1666
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 2: map in the way that Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese's entire class,

1667
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 2: Cameron Brink has done.

1668
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 4: And I'm with you, Steve. I thought she would.

1669
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 2: Have gotten with the program by now because her comments

1670
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 2: that she made during the tournament were not inaccurate, it's

1671
01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,679
Speaker 2: just how she said it. Like her saying it's gonna

1672
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:03,719
Speaker 2: be a rude awakening, she was implying that it's gonna

1673
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,360
Speaker 2: be a difficult transition for Caitlin Clark, which we all

1674
01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 2: have seen and that's acceptable.

1675
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 4: But everything that.

1676
01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 2: She has said, it's really how she has said it

1677
01:25:12,400 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 2: that is rubbing people the wrong way. And I thought

1678
01:25:14,960 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 2: she would have gotten with the program right by now.

1679
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 2: The Fever just played the Storm sellout crowd, the Storm won.

1680
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,760
Speaker 2: After the game, they interviewed Jewel Lloyd, who has been

1681
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 2: in the WNBA since twenty fifteen, a name that maybe

1682
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,080
Speaker 2: you have heard throughout the years. She's not a Diane Tarassi,

1683
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:31,800
Speaker 2: but you probably have heard her name if you know

1684
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:35,639
Speaker 2: anything about the WNBA. They interviewed her after and after

1685
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 2: the game, she was so just embracing the sellout crowd

1686
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 2: that she's probably never experienced. They were talking to her

1687
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 2: and she just looked so happy. She dropped like thirty

1688
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 2: four points or something, and she just like they started

1689
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 2: cheering for her, and she like looked down. I thought

1690
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 2: she was gonna cry, like I thought the moment like

1691
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 2: she was, you could tell she's never experienced anything like that.

1692
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,360
Speaker 4: And then she didn't come off rude.

1693
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 2: She didn't come off she came off so like happy

1694
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 2: and grateful for this moment. That's how I felt. And

1695
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 2: then after all she said with the smile was you

1696
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,280
Speaker 2: wanted a show, I gave you one, and then she

1697
01:26:10,320 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 2: walked to it, and it's like, you can do that.

1698
01:26:12,400 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 2: The way she handled it was I feel like how

1699
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 2: I've been wanting veteran players to handle the attention that

1700
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 2: the WNBA is getting. I was so impressed with how

1701
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 2: she handled that moment because we just haven't seen it,

1702
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,640
Speaker 2: you know, somebody like living in the moment, were so

1703
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 2: excited look at this attention, and it's okay to like, yeah,

1704
01:26:30,800 --> 01:26:31,559
Speaker 2: I gave your show.

1705
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 1: Most NBA stars when a new star comes on, like

1706
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: remember when Wenby came in last year, you know, the

1707
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 1: Lebron they were like so excited. Yeah, I mean they

1708
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: were openly. They weren't like thinking, well, you know, is

1709
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: his star going to be a threat to me or

1710
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: anything like that. I mean, you don't do that. Yeah,

1711
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:58,639
Speaker 1: you want your sport, you want your league to thrive.

1712
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:02,919
Speaker 1: The idea that it gets bigger and better is actually

1713
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: better for your legacy. If the WNBA just goes away,

1714
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: than anything you did in the league really goes away

1715
01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,879
Speaker 1: with it. If the WNBA suddenly is a much bigger league,

1716
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,800
Speaker 1: more people paying attention to Wow, you know, I'm sort

1717
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: of into this WNBA. Let me learn more about its history,

1718
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:23,800
Speaker 1: about you know, the great players, and all of a

1719
01:27:23,840 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: sudden you look at all time leading score, you see

1720
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 1: the name Diana Tarassi. Maybe you want to know more

1721
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:34,400
Speaker 1: about her. It enhances her legacy. To have a unique

1722
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:38,639
Speaker 1: star like Caitlin Clark come into this league doesn't hurt it,

1723
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: it helps it.

1724
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,720
Speaker 2: I know this is the big difference between men and women's.

1725
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,240
Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't want to say anything. Okay, can you

1726
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: explain it?

1727
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't because what is a jealousy? Jealousy,

1728
01:27:51,560 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 2: pettiness just I don't know where it comes from, but

1729
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 2: I've experienced it myself.

1730
01:27:56,439 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna lie to you, But.

1731
01:27:57,439 --> 01:28:00,639
Speaker 2: Like, this is the difference between men and women. Honestly,

1732
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 2: I don't know why, and it sucks. It sucks that

1733
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 2: we're seeing Are you saying that at the level in

1734
01:28:07,240 --> 01:28:08,839
Speaker 2: the WNBA.

1735
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:11,559
Speaker 1: Women are more competitive against women?

1736
01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 4: So like, for example, I think if I was sitting.

1737
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: Woman versus woman is far more intense than man versus man.

1738
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:24,680
Speaker 2: Correct, correct? Like for some reason, women like this is

1739
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 2: a perfect example this industry, right, I think women in

1740
01:28:27,400 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 2: this industry like don't think that men are the competition,

1741
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:33,479
Speaker 2: Like you're my competition, Steve. Of course you are not

1742
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:34,960
Speaker 2: just you know what I'm saying, like in the sense

1743
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:37,799
Speaker 2: of this job, Like in the sense of you're my competition.

1744
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,480
Speaker 2: It's just it's not just the women. Everyone's my competition

1745
01:28:40,560 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 2: in this field. And I feel like a lot of

1746
01:28:42,439 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 2: women don't think that way. A lot of women think

1747
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 2: it's just women that are your competition.

1748
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: See. I have been in this business so long. I'll

1749
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: be honest with you. I've never thought in terms of competition.

1750
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:51,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1751
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 1: I mean my point is like people say, let's say

1752
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: a rival station went by the wayside, are you happy?

1753
01:28:57,200 --> 01:28:58,759
Speaker 1: I'm like, why would I be happy?

1754
01:28:58,880 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1755
01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 1: First of all, people lost their jobs. Secondly, I want

1756
01:29:03,960 --> 01:29:06,400
Speaker 1: more people to be able to experience this that one

1757
01:29:06,560 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 1: experience this, So more jobs, more stations, more opportunities. And

1758
01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:16,559
Speaker 1: I've never, i have, literally have never, ever ever in

1759
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:21,960
Speaker 1: my entire career, talked about a host on a different station.

1760
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 1: In house is one thing, as it's all family and

1761
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: you have fun with it. I've never mentioned anyone at

1762
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 1: another station in that terms of radio. Now, we talk

1763
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:34,240
Speaker 1: about TV people and stuff like that on the show,

1764
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,920
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about in terms of radio or competitors.

1765
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: Never done that. I never even thought about doing something

1766
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 1: like that.

1767
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,720
Speaker 2: I don't think majority of the people feel the way

1768
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 2: you do. Really, yeah, I think most people because this

1769
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 2: industry is tough to get in and tough to stay in,

1770
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 2: that everyone sees it as a bit of a competition.

1771
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,799
Speaker 2: It's just that women for some reason, with other women.

1772
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 2: It's a little but a little bit petty, A little bit,

1773
01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1774
01:30:02,720 --> 01:30:06,640
Speaker 1: Well, you hear that women internalize things. Yes, see, like

1775
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:10,240
Speaker 1: guys will get into a brawl, right lily, knock the

1776
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 1: crap out of each other and then have a beer afterwards.

1777
01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 2: It's true, No way will women do that. If I'm

1778
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,400
Speaker 2: fighting a female, that's it. That is the end of

1779
01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 2: our relationship. We are not having a beer after I

1780
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 2: can tell you that right now. But men can do that.

1781
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:28,439
Speaker 2: Men can literally throw fists.

1782
01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 4: And then after I.

1783
01:30:30,920 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Got piza, this is so off.

1784
01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 2: You've never thrown fists?

1785
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 1: No, but I will. I will say that I saw

1786
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: this one time. So I I had a roommate who

1787
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:44,320
Speaker 1: lived with his girlfriend. Was a three bedroom apartment and

1788
01:30:44,520 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 1: he lived in one room with his girlfriend. And I

1789
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:52,440
Speaker 1: started seeing a girl that actually moved in without anyone's

1790
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 1: approval with me, and then our third roommate had its

1791
01:30:56,040 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 1: own room, and unbeknownst to me, the girl I brought

1792
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:06,160
Speaker 1: in decided to borrow a dress out of the closet

1793
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,640
Speaker 1: of the other room. So I didn't know this was

1794
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:13,759
Speaker 1: going on until I came home and I was sitting

1795
01:31:13,800 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 1: there and the other girl walks in and she literally

1796
01:31:18,240 --> 01:31:23,479
Speaker 1: dives at my girl, like I mean, and the other

1797
01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: roommate was sitting there. The boyfriend wasn't, but the bother,

1798
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 1: the third guy that was, he started to want to

1799
01:31:28,800 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: break it up. I say stop. We took a seat

1800
01:31:32,040 --> 01:31:35,960
Speaker 1: on the couch and these two girls absolutely tore into

1801
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: each other.

1802
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 2: Oh good as they said, though, well don't touch my stuff. Yeah, and.

1803
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:46,800
Speaker 1: She was screaming, she is out of here right now, hey,

1804
01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 1: right now, one more second.

1805
01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:52,320
Speaker 4: I completely understand I was.

1806
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:55,320
Speaker 2: I was part of a sorority. I don't have sisters, right,

1807
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,719
Speaker 2: but I have sorority sisters. And when I moved into

1808
01:31:57,720 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 2: the house my last semester, that was like a thing

1809
01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: that people would just go into each other's closets and

1810
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 2: like switch clothes, and I was like, absolutely not, none

1811
01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 2: of you were coming into my closet. I'm not about

1812
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 2: that life.

1813
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:08,200
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no.

1814
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 2: So I've never understood that I am not sharing my

1815
01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 2: clothes with you. No, thank you, or my shoes or

1816
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 2: my jewelry or my makeup. Don't touch it period, thank you.

1817
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,879
Speaker 1: Well my girl, as it was, I got the message

1818
01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: and she decided to leave.

1819
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean were they friends? No, yeah, no, I

1820
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:30,479
Speaker 2: don't know what.

1821
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 4: Your girl was thinking.

1822
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 1: She wanted that dress?

1823
01:32:34,200 --> 01:32:36,240
Speaker 4: Yeah no, no, no, no, She's absolutely crazy.

1824
01:32:36,320 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 2: She was in the wrong, the wrong.

1825
01:32:39,240 --> 01:32:40,840
Speaker 4: I would get mad at my best year.

1826
01:32:41,400 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 1: I will say this, it was one of the best

1827
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:48,080
Speaker 1: brawls that I've ever war dirty. I mean you all

1828
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 1: the whole thing, way worse, way worse like this some

1829
01:32:51,920 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: of these and they were ten years and it was

1830
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: it was an equal match. It was on a one

1831
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: sided match. I mean physically they were pretty close, and

1832
01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 1: it was Yeah.

1833
01:33:03,880 --> 01:33:07,719
Speaker 2: More importantly, did the dress survive? Well, she wasn't wearing

1834
01:33:07,720 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 2: the dress, then, she wasn't wearing No, she just had it.

1835
01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: She had it. She found the dress somewhere.

1836
01:33:12,439 --> 01:33:14,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say, because I would like, how.

1837
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:16,400
Speaker 1: Would she know that she had borrowed the dress? And

1838
01:33:16,439 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: then I'm like, you didn't put it back like exactly

1839
01:33:19,160 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: as you found it. I mean you would have smelled

1869
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:47,160
Speaker 13: I went there six through nine and we had to

1870
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,280
Speaker 13: play an instrument, so actually played the violin.

1871
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:50,439
Speaker 3: Believer or not. Wow.

1872
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:53,200
Speaker 1: I know Gooby. He hates to be called Gooby.

1873
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 3: By the way, this is what we called him back.

1874
01:34:55,400 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, fact, do not call him Gooby, Mark Gooba's I learned.

1875
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:02,040
Speaker 1: I learned over the years because we did a lot

1876
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 1: of work together to just call him Mark. Yes, yes,

1877
01:35:06,360 --> 01:35:09,519
Speaker 1: because there was like Gooby and he's like, don't call

1878
01:35:09,600 --> 01:35:12,360
Speaker 1: me Gooby. He used to have the best mullet though,

1879
01:35:12,439 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh myn he did.

1880
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 3: He was a really good athlete, basketball player six ' five.

1881
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:17,800
Speaker 13: Cool story. You know him and Ruben Tomorrow, the former

1882
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:22,080
Speaker 13: Philly shown manager. They grew up together, and yeah, it

1883
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 13: was quite the baseball group when I was there, and

1884
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 13: many many moons ago. But Mark got a World Series

1885
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:28,919
Speaker 13: ring with Royals.

1886
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:32,600
Speaker 1: I am going to read a quote from NFL insider

1887
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 1: Adam Kaplan, who just happens to be on the air

1888
01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,920
Speaker 1: with us right now. This has a chance to be

1889
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:42,120
Speaker 1: the most dynamic offense Andy Reid has ever coached in

1890
01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:45,799
Speaker 1: his career. And that's saying a lot. Are you basically

1891
01:35:45,800 --> 01:35:48,599
Speaker 1: putting out a warning to everybody out there that we

1892
01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:52,160
Speaker 1: might be seeing history that the Kansas City Chiefs could

1893
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 1: become the first team ever to win three consecutive Super Bowls?

1894
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:59,719
Speaker 13: Yeah, so what happens is I do radio on Kansas City.

1895
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 13: Been on that station a ten w HB for analyt

1896
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 13: seven eight years. So anyway, so they'd asked me, you know,

1897
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 13: after the draft, you know, kind of what happened with

1898
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 13: how they get Xavier Worthy, and I you know, gave

1899
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 13: him the background how the Bills, who were very much

1900
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:15,799
Speaker 13: high on him, there were a couple of other seers

1901
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:17,799
Speaker 13: they like a little better. They wanted more size at receiver.

1902
01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:20,559
Speaker 13: That's fine, they got, they got, They got a kid

1903
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,120
Speaker 13: in the stick around. But the Chiefs were really held

1904
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:25,240
Speaker 13: bet in getting speed like Worthy was their guy. They

1905
01:36:25,240 --> 01:36:27,040
Speaker 13: were going to find a way to get him. And

1906
01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 13: it's just crazy that the Bills the trade with them

1907
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 13: to make the Chiefs better potentially, But not only that, Steve,

1908
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 13: They've got Hollywood Brown, who's in a one year deal.

1909
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 3: Who could flat out fly.

1910
01:36:37,160 --> 01:36:38,840
Speaker 13: You know, he was brought down by the problems at

1911
01:36:38,880 --> 01:36:40,800
Speaker 13: quarterback and all the issues with the Cardinals, but the

1912
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,719
Speaker 13: guy could fly. So Andy has not had this vertical

1913
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 13: speed with two guys he's got. He had it with

1914
01:36:46,880 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 13: DeShawn Jackson, totally, no question about it. He's never had

1915
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 13: two guys who can do it when you have when

1916
01:36:52,600 --> 01:36:54,360
Speaker 13: you have a tight end like Travis Kelcey and the

1917
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 13: two speedstersha Rashi Wrice Wi.

1918
01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:58,759
Speaker 3: Wound up being suspended, but he he spent the whole season.

1919
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,120
Speaker 13: He'll be there with this offensive line, I mean, this

1920
01:37:02,200 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 13: is this is quite the group. This is quite the

1921
01:37:04,439 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 13: group that they've they've put together here and of course

1922
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:09,880
Speaker 13: with Mahomes and his arm strength and in the last

1923
01:37:09,920 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 13: couple of years, guys, their passive game has been kind

1924
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:12,839
Speaker 13: of restricted downfield.

1925
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:13,679
Speaker 3: It won't be anymore.

1926
01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,719
Speaker 2: That's a good group, and so are the forty nine ers.

1927
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 2: Adam but star wide receiver Brandon Ayuk. We saw a

1928
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:25,599
Speaker 2: video where he was telling Jaden Daniels that they don't

1929
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:29,439
Speaker 2: want me back, but he is saying the latest according

1930
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,759
Speaker 2: to TMZ Sports, that he for sure wants to stay

1931
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:34,080
Speaker 2: with the forty nine ers.

1932
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,799
Speaker 4: What is the latest with him and his contract.

1933
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 13: Yeah, so basically what happened here is, you know, he

1934
01:37:39,680 --> 01:37:41,479
Speaker 13: he met with the club. You know, he got an

1935
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 13: understanding where things are at that over the last week.

1936
01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 13: He does not want to play on a fifth year

1937
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:49,519
Speaker 13: option of fourteen point one two four million, which is

1938
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:53,280
Speaker 13: fully guaranteed. He wants to see. It's funny all sorts

1939
01:37:53,280 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 13: of rumors are what he wanted. But all those rumors

1940
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:56,920
Speaker 13: came out well before all these deals got done. So

1941
01:37:58,040 --> 01:38:00,040
Speaker 13: here's the problem. The Niners absolutely love the player. He

1942
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 13: entertained trade talked to in the draft. John Lynch actually

1943
01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,600
Speaker 13: admitted that the time to trade and would have been

1944
01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:09,000
Speaker 13: doing the draft. They didn't do anything, and they like

1945
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 13: he keep him. They won to extend his contract. But

1946
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 13: the problem that they have is it's called cash justification

1947
01:38:16,040 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 13: when you're paying Deebo Samuel what you're paying him. They

1948
01:38:19,120 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 13: just extended mccafrey's contract. They brought back Juan Jennings are

1949
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:23,080
Speaker 13: a number three receiver.

1950
01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:24,000
Speaker 3: He's not one of the.

1951
01:38:24,000 --> 01:38:26,679
Speaker 13: Highest paid backup receivers of the National Football League. George

1952
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:28,280
Speaker 13: Kittle's one of the top paid tight ends of the.

1953
01:38:28,320 --> 01:38:29,160
Speaker 3: National Football League.

1954
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 13: They just don't feel like they could justify giving au

1955
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:36,559
Speaker 13: thirty two to thirty three million that range which AJ

1956
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:39,120
Speaker 13: Brown got. Aj Brown is a little bit more proven.

1957
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:42,720
Speaker 13: I super gifted, by the way, really talented. Now if

1958
01:38:42,720 --> 01:38:45,080
Speaker 13: he was with Buffalo, different story. The Bills would absolutely

1959
01:38:45,080 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 13: pay him because not only would he be their number

1960
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 13: one receiver, his numbers would grow, where with the Niner

1961
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 13: hits restricted because McCaffrey's got to get the ball in

1962
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 13: the passing games, Debo Kittle, you can't, like the Niners

1963
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,080
Speaker 13: have a problem, as I understand it, a problem, justificate

1964
01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:04,200
Speaker 13: like they don't want to justify or have to say,

1965
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 13: you know what, we gave him thirty two million. Here's

1966
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,599
Speaker 13: why you can't. They can't come up with a reason

1967
01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:09,280
Speaker 13: to do it. They're going to be somewhere in that

1968
01:39:09,320 --> 01:39:11,800
Speaker 13: twenty twenty nine million range. And the structures always they

1969
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 13: do their own structure, by the way, which's different than

1970
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:14,120
Speaker 13: most teams.

1971
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 3: So there's they're not there yet.

1972
01:39:16,280 --> 01:39:19,280
Speaker 13: Now they here's the reason why I believe you'll stay Again,

1973
01:39:19,320 --> 01:39:21,439
Speaker 13: it's I don't put percentages on it. I'm not rolling

1974
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 13: out of trade, but they know if they trade him, right,

1975
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:26,719
Speaker 13: they don't get anything for this year's draft.

1976
01:39:26,800 --> 01:39:28,480
Speaker 3: That's that's why they entertain.

1977
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 13: And trade talk because they if they're going to do it,

1978
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:33,639
Speaker 13: they want a draft compensation. First round pick, Well, that's

1979
01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 13: over with. What are they really going to get that

1980
01:39:35,520 --> 01:39:36,960
Speaker 13: could help them win a Super Bowl this year? If

1981
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 13: you trade Brandon Ayuk, who's your receiver opposite TB Samuel

1982
01:39:40,120 --> 01:39:43,400
Speaker 13: Ricky Pearcel's a first round pick. I've heard that he's

1983
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 13: gotten off to good start, but he's a rookie. That's

1984
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:48,439
Speaker 13: a different story. Nyak's a complete different football player. He's

1985
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:53,160
Speaker 13: a phenomenal player. And look, it's a great discussion. I

1986
01:39:53,240 --> 01:39:55,160
Speaker 13: know the way things work there when they don't when

1987
01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:57,040
Speaker 13: they don't think a guy's worth it, and heck they

1988
01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,920
Speaker 13: as a report for Profoable Network. They they tell Kyle you,

1989
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 13: you got to take a pay cut. Guys, the best

1990
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:05,559
Speaker 13: fullback not only in the NFL, won the best ever,

1991
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:07,800
Speaker 13: they didn't. They didn't think it was worth the money

1992
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,400
Speaker 13: that they've been paid. So they told him he's got

1993
01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:10,160
Speaker 13: to take a pay cut.

1994
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:10,760
Speaker 3: All right.

1995
01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: A team that I have occasionally predicted, always wrong that

1996
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: their time eventually has to come in terms of winning

1997
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. And that's the Dallas Cowboys. It's been

1998
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:26,840
Speaker 1: an interesting offseason for the Cowboys, to say the least.

1999
01:40:26,880 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they still have a lot of unresolved issues

2000
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:33,280
Speaker 1: with contracts. Mike McCarthy doesn't seem all that happy to

2001
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:38,320
Speaker 1: be essentially a lame duck coach right now. I think

2002
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:40,040
Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer is actually going to do a pretty good

2003
01:40:40,120 --> 01:40:43,840
Speaker 1: job as their new defensive coordinator. But after three consecutive

2004
01:40:43,920 --> 01:40:47,320
Speaker 1: twelve and five seasons, of course, followed up by nothing

2005
01:40:47,360 --> 01:40:51,000
Speaker 1: but disappointment in the postseason, are we ever going to

2006
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:54,679
Speaker 1: see the Cowboys back on top? What is your gut?

2007
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you obviously followed the Eagles very closely.

2008
01:40:58,080 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: They've been able to get to the top of the

2009
01:41:00,479 --> 01:41:04,639
Speaker 1: during this interim. The Cowboys now almost thirty years since

2010
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:08,240
Speaker 1: even getting to the conference championship game. Is it going

2011
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:09,680
Speaker 1: to happen for this team?

2012
01:41:10,160 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 13: This has been one of the biggest mysteries because Steve,

2013
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 13: if you look at the way that they've drafted, they've

2014
01:41:15,120 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 13: drafted and developed very well. And by the way, Michael

2015
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:20,639
Speaker 13: Parsons and other guys up for a contract extension, ceedee lamb,

2016
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 13: ceedee Lamb's going to get done. They're just it'll get done.

2017
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:25,920
Speaker 13: Closer to training camp, they don't feel that sense of

2018
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:29,200
Speaker 13: vergsey do it now. But this is a good roster

2019
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,439
Speaker 13: you talk about, Mike Zimmer. Their defense is going to

2020
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:33,200
Speaker 13: be completely changed here. They're going to go to old

2021
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:36,479
Speaker 13: school forty three front. This is gonna be a good

2022
01:41:36,479 --> 01:41:37,080
Speaker 13: football team.

2023
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 3: Now.

2024
01:41:37,439 --> 01:41:40,639
Speaker 13: One of the strangest statistics when it comes to division

2025
01:41:40,720 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 13: winners here, right, we have not had to repeat NFC

2026
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:46,160
Speaker 13: East champions since the Eagles won four in a row

2027
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 13: and one for four, So history would show you the

2028
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:52,479
Speaker 13: Cowboys who won it last season probably won't win it.

2029
01:41:53,800 --> 01:41:57,519
Speaker 13: They're really good. I can't explain why they choked. They

2030
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 13: were terrible against the Packers. Now I give I give

2031
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 13: the Packers credit, that's incredible, but they blew out the Cowboys.

2032
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:06,679
Speaker 13: Don't let Dak Prescott's stats fool you. Everyone played poorly,

2033
01:42:06,800 --> 01:42:10,479
Speaker 13: en Army. You put up totally garbage time, Steve. They're

2034
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:13,760
Speaker 13: a enigma. They're just a mystery. There's no question they

2035
01:42:13,800 --> 01:42:14,639
Speaker 13: should be better.

2036
01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:14,840
Speaker 3: Than they are.

2037
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:19,599
Speaker 13: Dak is a very good quarterback. He's not I wouldn't

2038
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:23,680
Speaker 13: call him e leite, but he's very good. Here's the

2039
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:25,880
Speaker 13: other problem that they have is they don't know if

2040
01:42:26,120 --> 01:42:26,920
Speaker 13: I still don't think.

2041
01:42:26,840 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 3: This will happen one way or the other.

2042
01:42:28,160 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 13: I expect Dak to be with the team in twenty

2043
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:32,880
Speaker 13: five and beyond, but for some reason it just didn't

2044
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:37,320
Speaker 13: happen and they didn't bring him back, which seems ludicrous,

2045
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 13: but you never know. Trey Lance is a guy that

2046
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:43,040
Speaker 13: they wanted to at least be his backup. He's a

2047
01:42:43,080 --> 01:42:44,920
Speaker 13: guy they want to develop, but I don't see that

2048
01:42:44,960 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 13: he's more of a project. This is the problem. There's

2049
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 13: just not enough good quarterbacks to go around. This is

2050
01:42:50,040 --> 01:42:53,479
Speaker 13: a good discussion. It's like you fans sometimes will Okay,

2051
01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 13: I don't want this quarterback, Well, who's your replacement? They

2052
01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:58,480
Speaker 13: don't have anyone in the rough that it's not Cooper Rush.

2053
01:42:58,640 --> 01:43:01,840
Speaker 13: And this is a league that has trouble developing quarterbacks

2054
01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:05,599
Speaker 13: because of short off seasons, and you you'd sometimes read

2055
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:07,639
Speaker 13: for quarterback because you have to have one. You never

2056
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:10,720
Speaker 13: want to be in that position. So it's it's kind

2057
01:43:10,720 --> 01:43:12,400
Speaker 13: of one of these mysteries. They should be better than

2058
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:15,360
Speaker 13: they are. Again, they draft and develop very well. It's

2059
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:18,559
Speaker 13: just something happens. And by the way, I actually wrote

2060
01:43:18,560 --> 01:43:20,800
Speaker 13: this for Pro Football Network before. One of the things

2061
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 13: that I've heard about why they don't win as the

2062
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 13: character Sometimes the players they take risks guys on guys

2063
01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 13: who have off the field histories in college. For some reason,

2064
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:34,280
Speaker 13: something happens, like the guys play well, but they still

2065
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:35,200
Speaker 13: have issues off the field.

2066
01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,320
Speaker 3: Whatever the case may be, there's a football character show.

2067
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:40,960
Speaker 2: I would add to that one more for me, Adam.

2068
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 2: You know Jared Goff Trevor Lawrence new contracts to a Tokovailoa.

2069
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:47,360
Speaker 2: They've come out and said that they like him, they

2070
01:43:47,439 --> 01:43:49,920
Speaker 2: want to keep him, but they just don't think he

2071
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 2: should get as much money as these other two that

2072
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,200
Speaker 2: I just mentioned. What do you think is going to

2073
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 2: happen before the season starts between to.

2074
01:43:59,640 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 13: And the Yeah, look to Jared Goff is getting fifty

2075
01:44:02,920 --> 01:44:06,760
Speaker 13: three million a year. They're not there yet.

2076
01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:08,160
Speaker 3: Two is their guy.

2077
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 13: Look they didn't they We could debate whether they should

2078
01:44:11,360 --> 01:44:14,080
Speaker 13: have taken Justin Herbert or not. Herbert doesn't really want

2079
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:17,320
Speaker 13: a lot good quarterback. But two has put up massive numbers.

2080
01:44:17,320 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 13: That's not the problem. He's a really good fit for

2081
01:44:19,479 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 13: this offense that Mike McDaniel runs. They McDaniel felt he

2082
01:44:23,160 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 13: could fit well in the West Coast scheme, kind of

2083
01:44:25,479 --> 01:44:26,920
Speaker 13: like brock party does. You don't have to have a

2084
01:44:26,960 --> 01:44:28,679
Speaker 13: great arm. Chef would get rid of the ball quickly.

2085
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:31,160
Speaker 13: And it's kind of worked out. They're not there yet.

2086
01:44:31,560 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 13: This one will go down in the wire. I'm more

2087
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 13: pessimistic than optimistic. But yet again, again, he's under contract.

2088
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:41,240
Speaker 13: We know the history shows.

2089
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 3: Onner since the franchise tag comes in.

2090
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:46,080
Speaker 13: It's very rare for a team to spend a first

2091
01:44:46,160 --> 01:44:48,760
Speaker 13: round pick and walk away from a guy who's going

2092
01:44:48,800 --> 01:44:50,800
Speaker 13: to finish out his contract. And they let the guy walk.

2093
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 13: And by the way, two is not going to be

2094
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:54,599
Speaker 13: for everyone. There are a lot of teams that didn't

2095
01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:56,960
Speaker 13: like him, you know, not biggest guy in the world,

2096
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:58,000
Speaker 13: not the greatest arm in the world.

2097
01:44:58,000 --> 01:44:59,639
Speaker 3: He kind of beauty's in the eye of the beholder

2098
01:44:59,680 --> 01:45:00,719
Speaker 3: there when look at this player.

2099
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,959
Speaker 1: Good stuff, good stuff, Adam. How many weeks now ahead

2100
01:45:05,160 --> 01:45:07,759
Speaker 1: until we actually start opening training camps?

2101
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,160
Speaker 3: Well, actually, you know, it's just over two weeks.

2102
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 13: So what happens is there are a handful of teams

2103
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:16,439
Speaker 13: that the rookies and quarterbacks and injured players who are

2104
01:45:16,439 --> 01:45:18,839
Speaker 13: rehabbing have to show up a week for the veterans.

2105
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,320
Speaker 13: So like the Jets, they have to show up around

2106
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,599
Speaker 13: the sixteenth or seventeenth, so you're just just over two

2107
01:45:24,640 --> 01:45:27,680
Speaker 13: weeks is when some of these teams will report. Then

2108
01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,320
Speaker 13: every team will be in by the twenty fourth. And

2109
01:45:30,360 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 13: then now understand something for people are in the training camp,

2110
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:36,080
Speaker 13: battle for fantasy or whatever your favorite team. The first

2111
01:45:36,080 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 13: five days is acclimation period. There's really no heavy competition

2112
01:45:39,160 --> 01:45:40,519
Speaker 13: until we get past those five days.

2113
01:45:40,600 --> 01:45:42,880
Speaker 1: That's great stuff. We can't wait. I know a lot

2114
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 1: of people are saying, hey, can't start soon enough. We

2115
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:48,960
Speaker 1: get what you're talking about, Adam. Great stuff is always.

2116
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:50,719
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us. We'll talk to you next week.

2117
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:53,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, Adam Kaplan joining us. There are Fox Sports Radio,

2118
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:58,559
Speaker 1: NFL Insider. Now let's find out what is trending as

2119
01:45:58,960 --> 01:45:59,839
Speaker 1: BeFAN Brian.

2120
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 8: Is back with us right now, and NBA a buzz

2121
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:06,080
Speaker 8: with all sorts of trades that are going on. So yeah,

2122
01:46:06,080 --> 01:46:08,639
Speaker 8: we might be in the offseason like the NFL. Well,

2123
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:10,680
Speaker 8: we're getting close to the start of training.

2124
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:12,559
Speaker 1: Camp and love to see you know, we talk about

2125
01:46:12,560 --> 01:46:14,639
Speaker 1: free agency in all sports and you get the big

2126
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: hype of all the potential and none none of it

2127
01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:19,960
Speaker 1: pans out. There could be some big names moving around

2128
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,639
Speaker 1: the NBA there could be in one of them. You

2129
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 1: segue me perfectly.

2130
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:27,800
Speaker 8: Steve is Paul George ESPN reporting that he is all

2131
01:46:27,880 --> 01:46:30,160
Speaker 8: about the free agency game, as he has said no

2132
01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 8: thanks to the forty eight point seven million dollar player

2133
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 8: option with the Clippers, and so that makes him a

2134
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:40,439
Speaker 8: free agent, unrestricted free agent, and by tomorrow he will

2135
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:43,919
Speaker 8: be starting to talk with other teams, including the Clippers.

2136
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 8: There is a chance he could return, but he's looking

2137
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:49,320
Speaker 8: for more money and more years on a deal. Russell

2138
01:46:49,360 --> 01:46:53,280
Speaker 8: Westbrook is happy with the four million dollar player option,

2139
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,040
Speaker 8: so he is going to come back to the Clippers

2140
01:46:56,200 --> 01:47:00,839
Speaker 8: much cheaper deal than whatever Paul George will get. On James,

2141
01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 8: his agent Rich Paul of Clutchbort selling ESPN that James, yes,

2142
01:47:04,720 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 8: after opting out of his final year of his Lakers deal,

2143
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 8: is willing to stay with the franchise, of course, and

2144
01:47:10,960 --> 01:47:14,280
Speaker 8: get a multi year deal that is more franchised friendly,

2145
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 8: so that the team is able to have the financial

2146
01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:21,200
Speaker 8: means to get a significant player that could be a

2147
01:47:21,320 --> 01:47:23,760
Speaker 8: roster addition that could help this team get into a

2148
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:28,559
Speaker 8: potential championship run. Multiple outlets say the Golden State Warriors

2149
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 8: are coming to terms with the fact that Klay Thompson

2150
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:33,760
Speaker 8: is going to be no longer a Warrior. The free

2151
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:37,840
Speaker 8: agency is inevitable for him, and there is some percolation

2152
01:47:38,040 --> 01:47:40,479
Speaker 8: right now around the fact of speculation that he could

2153
01:47:40,479 --> 01:47:42,719
Speaker 8: be a Laker, as we're seeing some of that shatter

2154
01:47:43,040 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 8: on the interwebs. Speaking of the Lakers, they're going to

2155
01:47:45,520 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 8: be holding an introductory press conference for Dalton connect and

2156
01:47:48,680 --> 01:47:52,880
Speaker 8: Bronnie James on Tuesday at noon Pacific, So a chance

2157
01:47:52,920 --> 01:47:56,000
Speaker 8: for Bronnie James to answer the media as they will

2158
01:47:56,040 --> 01:47:59,640
Speaker 8: be throwing all sorts of softball questions and maybe some

2159
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:01,840
Speaker 8: challenging questions as.

2160
01:48:01,720 --> 01:48:05,240
Speaker 1: Well at him. So we'll see how that all plays.

2161
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,639
Speaker 8: Aut Cam Reddish back to the Lakers on a two

2162
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 8: point five million dollar player option the Pistians refusing Evan

2163
01:48:12,080 --> 01:48:15,559
Speaker 8: forty eight's nineteen million dollar team option that creates fifty

2164
01:48:15,600 --> 01:48:20,479
Speaker 8: million dollars in cap space in the NFL. Former NFL bust,

2165
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:22,240
Speaker 8: I guess you could say, once you're a bust, you're

2166
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:25,400
Speaker 8: always a bust. First overall pick he once was. JaMarcus

2167
01:48:25,479 --> 01:48:30,240
Speaker 8: Russell got busted and got fired as a football volunteer

2168
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 8: assistant at his own high school for allegedly trying to

2169
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 8: pocket a seventy four thousand dollars check intended for the

2170
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 8: school as a donation. He's facing a lawsuit for that.

2171
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:43,080
Speaker 8: Of course, you might remember remember Russell best known in

2172
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:46,280
Speaker 8: twenty twelve or twenty ten be it he was arrested

2173
01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:49,639
Speaker 8: in Alabama for, as they say, sipping on that scissor,

2174
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:54,000
Speaker 8: having possession of coding syrup without a valid prescription.

2175
01:48:54,720 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: And then lastly, forty.

2176
01:48:56,040 --> 01:48:58,559
Speaker 8: Nine Ers wide receiver Brandon Ayuk says that he wants

2177
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:01,639
Speaker 8: to remain with the team despite a lack of progress

2178
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 8: in contract talks. Major League Baseball going on right now,

2179
01:49:04,680 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 8: just mention this really quickly to a game that has

2180
01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 8: gone final, the Blue Jays nine to three winners against

2181
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 8: the Yanks. So keep it there with baseball, Vladgrero Junior

2182
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:17,599
Speaker 8: a two run home run, and the Yankees Monsey and

2183
01:49:17,600 --> 01:49:19,680
Speaker 8: Steve are having a hard time right now. There is

2184
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 8: all this talk about, oh, they're mighty and they've got

2185
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:25,880
Speaker 8: a special team perhaps going deep into the postseason. Right

2186
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,560
Speaker 8: now they look mighty mediocre.

2187
01:49:28,840 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, mighty mediocre.

2188
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, that's being friendly.

2189
01:49:36,560 --> 01:49:39,599
Speaker 1: I'm still thinking about JaMarcus Russell here for a second, guys,

2190
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:42,240
Speaker 1: can you believe that so if you don't know this

2191
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:46,720
Speaker 1: story and beefin stay with us on this one. So

2192
01:49:46,960 --> 01:49:50,240
Speaker 1: he I don't know how you can be fired as

2193
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:53,320
Speaker 1: a volunteer assistant head coach in no words, you're not

2194
01:49:53,360 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 1: being paid by the high school. You're just a volunteer

2195
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:58,760
Speaker 1: coach because you're a big name. I mean, you were

2196
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:02,799
Speaker 1: a former LSU Star, first round first number one overall

2197
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:04,960
Speaker 1: pick in the NFL, even if it didn't pan out.

2198
01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:12,400
Speaker 1: So apparently JaMarcus Russell, as a volunteer assistant, was trying

2199
01:50:12,400 --> 01:50:16,280
Speaker 1: to raise some money for the football program and he

2200
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 1: happened upon a local business owner named Chris Knowles, who

2201
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 1: wrote a check for seventy four thousand dollars for you know,

2202
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 1: funds to help with the weight room equipment and everything else.

2203
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:37,240
Speaker 1: So the school says that what Russell did was deposit

2204
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:40,479
Speaker 1: the check in a credit union and immediately take out

2205
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 1: fifty five thousand dollars and the fun what's amazing is

2206
01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,680
Speaker 1: he was not only just fired as a coach. He

2207
01:50:48,760 --> 01:50:51,759
Speaker 1: was so you're you're not allowed anywhere on the school grounds.

2208
01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:55,000
Speaker 1: And then he showed up at like a game. This

2209
01:50:55,040 --> 01:50:57,680
Speaker 1: is his alma mater, his high school alter.

2210
01:50:57,360 --> 01:51:00,000
Speaker 8: It's not just some random high school too, talk about

2211
01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 8: burning a bridge.

2212
01:51:01,080 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: So he actually, after being told you're not allowed anywhere

2213
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 1: near us, he's still event he went to some football

2214
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:10,000
Speaker 1: event and they had to escort of out saying what

2215
01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:14,519
Speaker 1: part of you're not allowed? Are you not understanding? By

2216
01:51:14,560 --> 01:51:18,200
Speaker 1: the way, this same JaMarcus Russell in his NFL career

2217
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: earned about thirty six million dollars. I mean, in some ways,

2218
01:51:24,439 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 1: you just it's a tragic story. And by the way,

2219
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing that is, the time has sort of

2220
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:33,760
Speaker 1: changed the narrative on JaMarcus Russell. His people talk about

2221
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:36,360
Speaker 1: biggest bust of all the time. He wasn't that bad

2222
01:51:36,360 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback. First of all, he was on a bad team.

2223
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: The Raiders at that point were one of the worst

2224
01:51:43,840 --> 01:51:45,880
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, obviously because they had the first

2225
01:51:45,880 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 1: big in the draft. But when he first came into

2226
01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 1: the league as a young quarterback, he had potential. But

2227
01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he was his own worst enemy. He just

2228
01:51:55,800 --> 01:52:00,360
Speaker 1: completely went off the rails. But in turn, ter of

2229
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:04,080
Speaker 1: his ability to actually play the game. Early in his

2230
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:05,599
Speaker 1: career he showed promise.

2231
01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 8: Well, Steven Montsi, you know that that he has this

2232
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:13,439
Speaker 8: natural talent. But natural talent can only take you so far.

2233
01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:17,040
Speaker 8: And one of the biggest knocks for him was the

2234
01:52:17,160 --> 01:52:20,240
Speaker 8: lack of work ethic. He would come in in the

2235
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:23,519
Speaker 8: off season and get ready for trading camp, and he'd

2236
01:52:23,560 --> 01:52:26,439
Speaker 8: look kind of like a human blimp. And that's not

2237
01:52:26,479 --> 01:52:29,200
Speaker 8: going to cut it when you're supposed to be a

2238
01:52:29,200 --> 01:52:30,320
Speaker 8: franchise quarterback.

2239
01:52:31,880 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 1: His first full year as a starter, his second year

2240
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:38,760
Speaker 1: in the league, thirteen touchdowns, eight picks. I mean, that's

2241
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: a pretty decent ratio for a young quarterback. Al Davis,

2242
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 1: my former boss, who by the way, was also born

2243
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:53,400
Speaker 1: on the fourth of July. He he just the vertical game.

2244
01:52:53,520 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 1: He used to, you know, talk about the vertical gave

2245
01:52:55,439 --> 01:52:58,679
Speaker 1: big arm quarterbacks. So he fell in love with JaMarcus Wrestle.

2246
01:52:58,720 --> 01:53:02,760
Speaker 1: This guy could throw the ball, mind and if he

2247
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 1: had just kept it together, he had a chance. He

2248
01:53:09,200 --> 01:53:12,680
Speaker 1: had skills. He's probably blown all of that money too.

2249
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:17,000
Speaker 1: That not money's long gone, long gone. Obviously he's allegedly

2250
01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:22,439
Speaker 1: stealing cornny. I mean, so that's just unfortunate, man. I

2251
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 1: think all of us sort of take a step back

2252
01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:27,400
Speaker 1: and say, if I had thirty four million dollars, I

2253
01:53:27,439 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 1: couldn't spend all that money and yet these guys spend

2254
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:31,360
Speaker 1: it like it's nothing.

2255
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:36,800
Speaker 2: I know, it's crazy. I mean your wife spends your

2256
01:53:36,800 --> 01:53:37,679
Speaker 2: money like it's nothing.

2257
01:53:37,920 --> 01:53:39,880
Speaker 1: Oh that is true. No, it's worse than that.

2258
01:53:39,920 --> 01:53:42,679
Speaker 2: It's money ex wife, right right.

2259
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 1: You see, that's that's where it goes a little bit deeper,

2260
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:50,680
Speaker 1: the hurt. That's okay, spending all my kids, right, that's

2261
01:53:50,720 --> 01:53:59,360
Speaker 1: what together. She's done some real estate deals. Deal. I'm

2262
01:53:59,439 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 1: still hopeful, so hopeful. All right, let's change cares because

2263
01:54:05,080 --> 01:54:08,679
Speaker 1: on the other side, who's your daddy?

2264
01:54:08,960 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 2: Hm?

2265
01:54:09,960 --> 01:54:12,640
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm everyone's daddy. Yes, that's sort of

2266
01:54:13,040 --> 01:54:17,280
Speaker 1: who I have become. Who's your daddy? Coming up here

2267

Speaker 2: I love this song. Do you know who this is? Stee?

Speaker 1: it that was nominated for Record of the Year's Song?

2275
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:43,760
Speaker 2: The song was right, that was Wrecking Ball.

2276
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:44,760
Speaker 1: That was a good song.

2277
01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:47,400
Speaker 2: Thirteen, This was a great song.

2278
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 10: This was earlier than that.

2279
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 2: It was earlier than that. But this is this is

2280

2284
01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the Tyrek dot Com studios,

2285
01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:06,560
Speaker 2: and it's time.

2286
01:55:06,400 --> 01:55:07,560
Speaker 4: For our favorite segment.

2287

Speaker 2: Okay, Steve Hartman, we are going to quiz you see

2290
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:19,200
Speaker 2: what you know, even though we know you already know everything.

2291
01:55:19,560 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 4: Let's start.

2292
01:55:20,640 --> 01:55:24,760
Speaker 2: Yes, what are the most points scored in an NBA quarter?

2293
01:55:26,400 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 1: The record is held by Clay Thompson. But I'm trying

2294
01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 1: to remember the number. I'm gonna say it was thirty three.

2295
01:55:36,440 --> 01:55:41,840
Speaker 1: Klay Thompson is correct, thirty five? Twenty seven? No, no, no,

2296
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:42,400
Speaker 1: in a quarter?

2297
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 4: In a quarter, we can do.

2298
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: That's that's not the correct answer. It might be thirty seven,

2299
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:49,160
Speaker 1: not twenty So.

2300
01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 2: Did I write that wrong? Is it thirty seven?

2301
01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:52,800
Speaker 1: I know we'll score thirty one in the fourth quarter

2302
01:55:52,800 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 1: of his one hundred point game. It's got it probably

2303
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:55,520
Speaker 1: be thirty seven.

2304
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:57,240
Speaker 4: Well, that's what happens when you write notes.

2305
01:55:57,280 --> 01:55:59,520
Speaker 2: It's thirty seven, So I put the notes wrong.

2306
01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:00,000
Speaker 4: And that's why.

2307
01:56:00,360 --> 01:56:01,960

Speaker 1: Yeah. Can we open up defence Mike for a second here.

2437
02:02:08,480 --> 02:02:11,880
Speaker 1: So I know the actual wedding day is about three

2438
02:02:11,880 --> 02:02:15,360
Speaker 1: weeks away, is that correct? That is correct? July twentieth, Yes,

2439
02:02:15,960 --> 02:02:20,000
Speaker 1: So how much time are you taking off for this wedding?

2440
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,480
Speaker 8: That's a great question, Steven Monts, because I'm going to

2441
02:02:23,560 --> 02:02:26,760
Speaker 8: leave a week before and there's a reason behind this.

2442
02:02:27,920 --> 02:02:29,360
Speaker 1: My dog is going to be a part.

2443
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:31,400
Speaker 2: Of the wedding as they should be.

2444
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 8: Okay, so listen to this. I don't know if anybody

2445
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:38,200
Speaker 8: has a mid sized dog that can't fit in the

2446
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:42,600
Speaker 8: specific measurements of the traveling case to get on a plane,

2447
02:02:42,600 --> 02:02:45,160
Speaker 8: but so I have a medium sized dog. It is

2448
02:02:45,200 --> 02:02:47,840
Speaker 8: a nightmare trying to travel with a dog like that

2449
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:51,200
Speaker 8: on one of these major airlines. And God forbid, I

2450
02:02:51,200 --> 02:02:54,600
Speaker 8: would never put her in the cargo holds. Absolutely no

2451
02:02:54,720 --> 02:02:57,120
Speaker 8: way that's going to happen. Yes, so there is this

2452
02:02:57,280 --> 02:03:03,280
Speaker 8: airline that allows dogs no matter the size. You just

2453
02:03:03,360 --> 02:03:05,600
Speaker 8: have to make sure they're updated on some of these

2454
02:03:05,960 --> 02:03:10,680
Speaker 8: you know, vet trips and vaccine whatever, and you don't

2455
02:03:10,680 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 8: have to put the dog in the cargo hold.

2456
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:17,520
Speaker 1: But there's the catches. There's only certain amount of routes.

2457
02:03:17,680 --> 02:03:18,040
Speaker 2: Sure.

2458
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:21,080
Speaker 8: So I'm going on three plane flights with my dog

2459
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 8: from Burbank to Dallas, Dallas to Miami, Miami to a

2460
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:29,840
Speaker 8: tiny airport and I'm not taking a private plane, but

2461
02:03:30,040 --> 02:03:32,760
Speaker 8: Miami to a tiny airport in New York and then

2462
02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:36,280
Speaker 8: driving two and a half hours from there with your dog.

2463
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:42,880
Speaker 1: With my dog. You're literally walking from plane to plane,

2464
02:03:42,880 --> 02:03:46,760
Speaker 1: connection to connection with your dog. She's walking with me.

2465
02:03:46,840 --> 02:03:49,280
Speaker 8: Well, because she is going to be part of the wedding.

2466
02:03:49,360 --> 02:03:51,560
Speaker 8: She has her own wedding dress.

2467
02:03:51,960 --> 02:03:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm not lying.

2468
02:03:52,880 --> 02:03:55,600
Speaker 8: I would be happy to show you guys that. So

2469
02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:57,960
Speaker 8: she is a big deal here now are.

2470
02:03:59,200 --> 02:03:59,920
Speaker 4: As she should be.

2471
02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this, you're basically saying that she's not gonna

2472
02:04:03,640 --> 02:04:06,600
Speaker 1: be the only dog on these planes. Obviously that No,

2473
02:04:06,680 --> 02:04:09,760
Speaker 1: there's other people are probably thinking the same thing. Yeah,

2474
02:04:09,800 --> 02:04:11,480
Speaker 1: now they're like, everybody on the plane is gonna have

2475
02:04:11,520 --> 02:04:15,280
Speaker 1: a dog with them most likely. Do they have a seat? Yes,

2476
02:04:15,320 --> 02:04:18,040
Speaker 1: you have to buy an extra seat. Okay, that's a

2477
02:04:18,040 --> 02:04:18,600
Speaker 1: pretty good.

2478
02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Racket, though I know, no, I'm gonna need this information.

2479
02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:27,560
Speaker 1: Does she have to strap in? I don't think. But

2480
02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:28,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing.

2481
02:04:28,960 --> 02:04:32,640
Speaker 8: Luckily, my mom lives in Dallas, because this three flight

2482
02:04:32,720 --> 02:04:35,839
Speaker 8: thing takes two days. Yeah, so she lives in Dallas.

2483
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:38,040
Speaker 8: I'll crash there and then we got two flights going

2484
02:04:38,080 --> 02:04:38,600
Speaker 8: from Dallas.

2485
02:04:38,640 --> 02:04:40,520
Speaker 1: It's not three in a row. Then it's not three

2486
02:04:40,520 --> 02:04:41,560
Speaker 1: in a row. Okay, Well that.

2487
02:04:41,520 --> 02:04:43,440
Speaker 2: Helped, but still a lot of traveling a lot of

2488
02:04:43,680 --> 02:04:44,240
Speaker 2: ye hours.

2489
02:04:44,320 --> 02:04:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of doggie bags around obviously. Yeah.

2490
02:04:47,640 --> 02:04:50,160
Speaker 8: And there's only been one flight that she's ever been on,

2491
02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:52,560
Speaker 8: and that was when I picked her up from Dallas

2492
02:04:52,600 --> 02:04:54,640
Speaker 8: when she was eleven weeks and then took her on

2493
02:04:54,640 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 8: the plane.

2494
02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:58,000
Speaker 1: She doesn't remember that, she doesn't remember that. She'll remember this.

2495
02:04:58,360 --> 02:04:58,720
Speaker 1: She will.

2496
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:00,880
Speaker 2: She's gonna be with him. It's not gonna matter.

2497
02:05:00,920 --> 02:05:03,680
Speaker 1: She be fine, she is. I just want her to

2498
02:05:03,720 --> 02:05:07,000
Speaker 1: come to Fox Sports Radio for a visit. I love that.

2499
02:05:07,800 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 1: I told you that I show my dogs all the time.

2500
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:16,320
Speaker 2: Just bring herring. Don't tell Damn, don't tell anybody.

2501
02:05:16,440 --> 02:05:21,320
Speaker 1: Doringer my oldest dog. She is the worst in a car,

2502
02:05:22,240 --> 02:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I thought, Terrier. No, she is. She just doesn't. I

2503
02:05:26,800 --> 02:05:31,240
Speaker 1: mean the other two just sit there perfectly, but she is. No,

2504
02:05:31,560 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 1: what is she just agitated? Nervous, nervous and everything else. Yeah, terrible.

2505
02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:42,360
Speaker 1: All right, Well that's just quite an adventure. Are you

2506
02:05:42,480 --> 02:05:44,320
Speaker 1: Are you going on a dog Are you going on

2507
02:05:44,360 --> 02:05:46,120
Speaker 1: an immediate honeymoon after the wedding.

2508
02:05:46,400 --> 02:05:48,400
Speaker 8: No, So there's an event I'm doing, and then the

2509
02:05:48,440 --> 02:05:50,880
Speaker 8: week after that we're going to go and we're going

2510
02:05:50,960 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 8: to go to the Big Island of Hawaii.

2511
02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 1: Nice.

2512
02:05:55,480 --> 02:05:58,280
Speaker 8: It is underrated and people listening. I've never been on

2513
02:05:58,280 --> 02:06:01,520
Speaker 8: the Big Island, but only good, that is my point.

2514
02:06:01,640 --> 02:06:04,720
Speaker 8: Most people, you know, Mancey, maybe you've been to Hawaii.

2515
02:06:04,880 --> 02:06:05,320
Speaker 2: I have not.

2516
02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:08,640
Speaker 1: I've always gone to wahu Waikiki the whole correct or.

2517
02:06:08,640 --> 02:06:10,120
Speaker 8: A lot of people are like, let's go to Kai,

2518
02:06:10,240 --> 02:06:13,320
Speaker 8: let's go to Mali. But there is this sleepiness to

2519
02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:14,400
Speaker 8: the Big Island.

2520
02:06:14,440 --> 02:06:17,360
Speaker 1: Where. Look, when we work in this business, Steve, you

2521
02:06:17,400 --> 02:06:20,440
Speaker 1: don't want to be sleeping on your honeymoon, believe no, no,

2522
02:06:20,800 --> 02:06:22,520
Speaker 1: But here's what I'm getting to busy.

2523
02:06:22,600 --> 02:06:25,960
Speaker 8: Here's what I'm getting a living in this Oh my gosh,

2524
02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:27,680
Speaker 8: what are we doing?

2525
02:06:27,760 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 9: Man?

2526
02:06:28,560 --> 02:06:29,640
Speaker 2: Wait, we're talking sports.

2527
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:33,000
Speaker 10: We're not yo, Man, keep it paid.

2528
02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:35,840
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm saying. Here's what I'm saying. Mansi and Steve.

2529
02:06:36,320 --> 02:06:39,680
Speaker 8: You work in this industry and it's all hands on deck.

2530
02:06:39,960 --> 02:06:42,440
Speaker 8: It's a hustle, it's a grind. We're always on the go,

2531
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:45,280
Speaker 8: moving multiple jobs. That's the way. So when I do

2532
02:06:45,760 --> 02:06:49,840
Speaker 8: a honeymoon, I want to sit still. This island is

2533
02:06:50,000 --> 02:06:52,400
Speaker 8: like that. It's not like one adventure after another. Now

2534
02:06:52,400 --> 02:06:54,960
Speaker 8: you probably could find things to do. I just want

2535
02:06:54,960 --> 02:06:57,840
Speaker 8: to sit still, Steve I know that's impossible for.

2536
02:06:57,840 --> 02:06:59,800
Speaker 1: You to do, so you wouldn't understand.

2537
02:07:00,000 --> 02:07:00,880
Speaker 2: Now, I get it.

2538
02:07:00,960 --> 02:07:03,320
Speaker 1: I want to Unless I have my laptop, I could

2539
02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:05,600
Speaker 1: type stats all day that I could do anywhere though.

2540
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:10,800
Speaker 8: I could see you at like a Hawaiian bar overlooking

2541
02:07:10,840 --> 02:07:14,320
Speaker 8: the ocean and here you are just working on your

2542
02:07:14,720 --> 02:07:16,320
Speaker 8: laptop typing up stats.

2543
02:07:16,600 --> 02:07:18,760
Speaker 1: That's what I did when I don't go to Hawaii.

2544
02:07:19,320 --> 02:07:21,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, it's beautiful. I'm not going

2545
02:07:21,800 --> 02:07:24,320
Speaker 1: to deny that Hawaii is beautiful. But to me, I'm

2546
02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:28,560
Speaker 1: just like you know, been they're done that. Yeah, it's

2547
02:07:28,640 --> 02:07:31,400
Speaker 1: not no longer on my Like, jeez, I can't wait

2548
02:07:31,440 --> 02:07:35,000
Speaker 1: to get back to Hawaii. It's just not no knocking Hawaii.

2549
02:07:35,160 --> 02:07:38,240
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. But you know, MONSI to like Hawaii.

2550
02:07:38,680 --> 02:07:40,880
Speaker 2: I've never been, but I think that I think I

2551
02:07:40,880 --> 02:07:41,440
Speaker 2: would like it.

2552
02:07:41,520 --> 02:07:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would like it first time? Absolutely? Yeah. Okay, well,

2553
02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:48,960
Speaker 1: thank you very much. All right, So we'll see some

2554
02:07:49,080 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 1: of beef in over the next couple of months. You know,

2555
02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to just see if your demeanor's changed after

2556
02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:57,160
Speaker 1: you actually are wearing that wedding ring. Just going to

2557
02:07:57,240 --> 02:08:01,320
Speaker 1: be curious about that, all right. So one of the

2558
02:08:01,360 --> 02:08:05,400
Speaker 1: stories this week. Obviously catching a lot of attention was

2559
02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:08,839
Speaker 1: the drafting of Bronni James by the Lakers to fulfill

2560
02:08:08,920 --> 02:08:12,480
Speaker 1: the wish of Lebron James to become the first father

2561
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:15,160
Speaker 1: son team in the history of the NBA. It's happened

2562
02:08:15,160 --> 02:08:19,560
Speaker 1: in other sports, but it's never happened in the NBA.

2563
02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:23,080
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people listening out there that say, well,

2564
02:08:23,120 --> 02:08:25,680
Speaker 1: what kind of player is I've never seen this guy play,

2565
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:29,920
Speaker 1: so I'm looking at his numbers at USC last year

2566
02:08:29,960 --> 02:08:33,080
Speaker 1: he appeared in twenty five games, and let's preface by saying,

2567
02:08:33,160 --> 02:08:37,120
Speaker 1: remember he had the cardiac arrest situation that started off,

2568
02:08:37,200 --> 02:08:41,240
Speaker 1: so they limited his time to some degree. But when

2569
02:08:41,240 --> 02:08:44,920
Speaker 1: we talk about stats of anybody that's going to be

2570
02:08:45,000 --> 02:08:48,720
Speaker 1: drafted into the NBA, it is it is probably not

2571
02:08:48,880 --> 02:08:52,680
Speaker 1: far fetched to say there has never been a less

2572
02:08:52,760 --> 02:08:57,920
Speaker 1: qualified player coming out of college drafted by the NBA.

2573
02:08:58,640 --> 02:09:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean to put the numbers in perconspect that if

2574
02:09:00,480 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: he shot thirty six point six percent from the field,

2575
02:09:04,280 --> 02:09:07,400
Speaker 1: twenty six point seven percent from the three point line,

2576
02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:12,080
Speaker 1: sixty seven percent from the free throw line, he had

2577
02:09:12,120 --> 02:09:14,720
Speaker 1: more games where he had zero points than he had

2578
02:09:14,720 --> 02:09:18,840
Speaker 1: double digits. He had a three game run against Stanford,

2579
02:09:19,000 --> 02:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Washington State, and Colorado where he was a combined zero

2580
02:09:22,520 --> 02:09:28,560
Speaker 1: for fourteen from the field. And this is no knock

2581
02:09:28,640 --> 02:09:31,320
Speaker 1: on the character of this young man. He seems to

2582
02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:35,360
Speaker 1: be a great young man. He just he wasn't even

2583
02:09:35,400 --> 02:09:41,040
Speaker 1: ready to play at the collegiate level, not even close.

2584
02:09:42,680 --> 02:09:47,440
Speaker 1: And now he is going to get the NBA spotlight.

2585
02:09:48,960 --> 02:09:49,160
Speaker 3: Now.

2586
02:09:49,240 --> 02:09:51,880
Speaker 1: The way the Lakers handle this is going to be

2587
02:09:51,960 --> 02:09:56,680
Speaker 1: curious to me because based on what he did in

2588
02:09:56,720 --> 02:10:01,120
Speaker 1: his one year at USC, he really doesn't have a

2589
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:05,720
Speaker 1: place right now in the NBA. I would imagine the Lakers,

2590
02:10:05,760 --> 02:10:08,080
Speaker 1: with the hiring of JJ Reddick and other moves they

2591
02:10:08,080 --> 02:10:13,800
Speaker 1: will be making. I'm hoping, as a longtime Lakers fan,

2592
02:10:14,520 --> 02:10:16,920
Speaker 1: that they're hell been on winning a championship and getting

2593
02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 1: this right. So how do you balance that and making

2594
02:10:22,320 --> 02:10:24,680
Speaker 1: sure that the best players are on the court to

2595
02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:27,960
Speaker 1: give you the best opportunity to win every game, and

2596
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:32,720
Speaker 1: then throw in a kid that is not ready for

2597
02:10:32,760 --> 02:10:35,920
Speaker 1: the NBA. We don't know if he ever will be

2598
02:10:36,000 --> 02:10:40,480
Speaker 1: ready for the NBA, just to create a side show

2599
02:10:42,040 --> 02:10:43,960
Speaker 1: to allow his father to be on the court at

2600
02:10:44,000 --> 02:10:47,520
Speaker 1: the same time as his son, because I would imagine

2601
02:10:47,680 --> 02:10:52,640
Speaker 1: for both Brownie and Lebron. They don't want a side show.

2602
02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:58,640
Speaker 1: In other words, if you're Brownie James, I would imagine

2603
02:10:58,720 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I want to prove that I can do this on

2604
02:11:01,320 --> 02:11:06,720
Speaker 1: my own. I'm not just Lebron James' son. They open

2605
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:08,920
Speaker 1: the door for me because of that, because no other

2606
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:11,520
Speaker 1: player with those kind of numbers is going to be

2607
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:16,640
Speaker 1: drafted into the NBA. But what if he doesn't get there?

2608
02:11:17,360 --> 02:11:20,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I think those are the questions that everybody has.

2609
02:11:20,480 --> 02:11:24,360
Speaker 2: We know that you were able to get this opportunity

2610
02:11:24,720 --> 02:11:29,920
Speaker 2: because of your dad. I just I assume that Lebron

2611
02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:36,040
Speaker 2: and Bronni both believe that he has the potential to

2612
02:11:36,240 --> 02:11:39,040
Speaker 2: develop into an NBA player. And I think that's what

2613
02:11:39,360 --> 02:11:41,240
Speaker 2: a lot of people have a problem with, where it's like,

2614
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:44,560
Speaker 2: why right now, why this instant, Why couldn't he have

2615
02:11:44,600 --> 02:11:47,280
Speaker 2: gone back and played another year of college right and

2616
02:11:47,320 --> 02:11:49,320
Speaker 2: then come to the NBA next year.

2617
02:11:49,520 --> 02:11:50,840
Speaker 4: I think a lot of people wonder that.

2618
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:54,600
Speaker 2: But they have to believe that he has the potential

2619
02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:58,440
Speaker 2: and the talent to develop into a solid, good NBA player,

2620
02:11:58,640 --> 02:12:00,720
Speaker 2: because if not, he's going to come into a league

2621
02:12:01,080 --> 02:12:05,600
Speaker 2: and be completely crucified if he does not play well.

2622
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:11,200
Speaker 2: He's in a very tough position, Ronnie James, very hard one.

2623
02:12:11,360 --> 02:12:13,880
Speaker 1: If these are his numbers at the collegiate level, right,

2624
02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:17,640
Speaker 1: these do not translate into any kind of numbers in

2625
02:12:17,680 --> 02:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the NBA. And the state of social media the way

2626
02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 1: it is, where people may get their first opportunity to

2627
02:12:24,240 --> 02:12:28,760
Speaker 1: see this guy play at all. And if he is overwhelmed.

2628
02:12:30,320 --> 02:12:33,720
Speaker 1: Two years ago, he was second team All League in

2629
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:37,120
Speaker 1: high school. You didn't even make his first team All

2630
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:39,960
Speaker 1: league team in high school. Now he's going to be

2631
02:12:40,000 --> 02:12:43,800
Speaker 1: in the NBA. No one's going to give him a break. No,

2632
02:12:44,280 --> 02:12:49,400
Speaker 1: these are men playing at the highest level possible of

2633
02:12:49,440 --> 02:12:56,320
Speaker 1: this sport. And if he's overwhelmed, I mean, the Lakers

2634
02:12:56,360 --> 02:12:59,000
Speaker 1: have made a commitment to Brownie James and they're talking

2635
02:12:59,040 --> 02:13:01,160
Speaker 1: them up that you know, we can see that he

2636
02:13:01,280 --> 02:13:05,040
Speaker 1: has the skill set to do something down the road. Great,

2637
02:13:05,960 --> 02:13:09,840
Speaker 1: but you could also traumatize this kid. I mean, the

2638
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:15,440
Speaker 1: spotlight of USC basketball isn't anywhere near what he's going

2639
02:13:15,520 --> 02:13:19,800
Speaker 1: to face starting with his introductory press conference, and once

2640
02:13:19,840 --> 02:13:24,400
Speaker 1: he steps on that court in a Lakers uniform, expectations

2641
02:13:24,440 --> 02:13:29,720
Speaker 1: are going to be exceedingly high. Look, I hope for

2642
02:13:29,760 --> 02:13:32,600
Speaker 1: the kid's sake that he has it, I really do.

2643
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:36,839
Speaker 1: I do not want to see because it's really unnecessary.

2644
02:13:37,080 --> 02:13:38,840
Speaker 1: What was the I agree with you, what was the

2645
02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 1: hurry here? You know, because of the cardiac arrest situation,

2646
02:13:43,040 --> 02:13:46,040
Speaker 1: it may have stunted his first year in college. So

2647
02:13:46,120 --> 02:13:48,200
Speaker 1: give them a full year so he can start at

2648
02:13:48,320 --> 02:13:51,600
Speaker 1: least in college and see what kind of game he has.

2649
02:13:51,680 --> 02:13:55,080
Speaker 1: But now he's being shoved into a place that frankly,

2650
02:13:55,120 --> 02:14:00,480
Speaker 1: he's not ready for. And you worry whether if he

2651
02:14:00,520 --> 02:14:04,840
Speaker 1: did have any kind of potential for the NBA, whether

2652
02:14:05,000 --> 02:14:08,040
Speaker 1: that might be a race by just being traumatized in

2653
02:14:08,080 --> 02:14:11,400
Speaker 1: a league where they're going to show no mercy for him.

2654
02:14:11,800 --> 02:14:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in a really tough position because, unfortunately, he

2655
02:14:16,880 --> 02:14:19,720
Speaker 2: is going to be looked at under a microscope because

2656
02:14:19,760 --> 02:14:24,040
Speaker 2: he's Lebron James's son and he got this very quick

2657
02:14:24,440 --> 02:14:28,400
Speaker 2: and easy path to the NBA in comparison to other players.

2658
02:14:29,080 --> 02:14:32,200
Speaker 2: It almost it's almost like a little bit selfish of

2659
02:14:32,280 --> 02:14:35,800
Speaker 2: Lebron to do this, you know, like poor Bronni to

2660
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:39,080
Speaker 2: be put in this situation. There's a lot of pressure

2661
02:14:39,280 --> 02:14:41,040
Speaker 2: that's going to be put on him, and it's not

2662
02:14:41,080 --> 02:14:41,800
Speaker 2: even his fault.

2663
02:14:42,280 --> 02:14:44,320
Speaker 4: It's because of the name on his back.

2664
02:14:44,520 --> 02:14:46,560
Speaker 1: Well, what do you do as a parent, and you

2665
02:14:46,560 --> 02:14:49,160
Speaker 1: know this is something if you're a parent and your

2666
02:14:49,280 --> 02:14:51,480
Speaker 1: kid has a dream, like he wants to play in

2667
02:14:51,520 --> 02:14:56,040
Speaker 1: the NBA and you're in the there's no other player

2668
02:14:56,160 --> 02:14:59,040
Speaker 1: in this position, but you're Lebron James and you can

2669
02:14:59,080 --> 02:15:00,000
Speaker 1: actually make it happen.

2670
02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:02,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, but why make it happen right now?

2671
02:15:02,400 --> 02:15:06,000
Speaker 2: This instant Like, it's a really cool story to be

2672
02:15:06,040 --> 02:15:08,600
Speaker 2: able to play with your son. I agree, that's a

2673
02:15:08,680 --> 02:15:11,360
Speaker 2: really cool story. It's never been done and if anyone's

2674
02:15:11,360 --> 02:15:14,120
Speaker 2: gonna do it, Lebron James doing it makes it even better.

2675
02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:16,920
Speaker 2: But Lebron, you could have done this in two years.

2676
02:15:17,280 --> 02:15:20,360
Speaker 4: Really, you're not going anywhere, but.

2677
02:15:20,440 --> 02:15:24,640
Speaker 1: Who you got to make a roster spot. There's only

2678
02:15:24,840 --> 02:15:27,120
Speaker 1: there's only twelve players that suit up for a game.

2679
02:15:27,240 --> 02:15:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's gonna be on that roster. He's gonna

2680
02:15:29,720 --> 02:15:34,080
Speaker 2: be one of the twelve. I know there's a lot

2681
02:15:34,120 --> 02:15:38,160
Speaker 2: of questions, there's a lot of unknown but let's.

2682
02:15:37,920 --> 02:15:42,760
Speaker 1: Hold I'm adding up the numbers. There's already twelve players. Yeah,

2683
02:15:43,080 --> 02:15:49,200
Speaker 1: that are all established NBA players. Who takes a seat

2684
02:15:49,600 --> 02:15:51,600
Speaker 1: to make room for Bronnie James.

2685
02:15:51,360 --> 02:15:52,760
Speaker 2: That's gonna be a decision though.

2686
02:15:52,800 --> 02:15:55,240
Speaker 1: I mean, also, you got Dalton connect who's your first

2687
02:15:55,320 --> 02:15:57,480
Speaker 1: round pick. He's not going to be sitting in the

2688
02:15:57,560 --> 02:15:58,160
Speaker 1: G League.

2689
02:15:58,240 --> 02:15:58,800
Speaker 2: He shouldn't.

2690
02:15:58,960 --> 02:16:04,440
Speaker 1: He shouldn't. He's the first team All American. I just

2691
02:16:04,600 --> 02:16:08,160
Speaker 1: I you know, like I said, I do not. I

2692
02:16:08,520 --> 02:16:11,400
Speaker 1: hope nothing happens bad for this kid. He's already been

2693
02:16:11,400 --> 02:16:12,600
Speaker 1: through a lot.

2694
02:16:12,840 --> 02:16:16,360
Speaker 2: But nobody wants him to fail. No, nobody wants him

2695
02:16:16,360 --> 02:16:18,480
Speaker 2: to fail. We just are wondering why.

2696
02:16:18,480 --> 02:16:21,040
Speaker 1: But have you put him in a position where failure

2697
02:16:21,200 --> 02:16:23,520
Speaker 1: is going to be the ultimate.

2698
02:16:23,280 --> 02:16:26,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're putting them in a very very difficult position.

2699
02:16:27,440 --> 02:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Well, it's a question that we will have to wait

2700
02:16:29,680 --> 02:16:32,080
Speaker 1: on the answer for that is for sure. All right.

2701
02:16:32,120 --> 02:16:34,560
Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, much more news around

2702
02:16:34,640 --> 02:16:38,000
Speaker 1: the NBA because we've got some moving bodies and yes,

2703
02:16:38,120 --> 02:16:40,680
Speaker 1: indeed Moncey's clippers all of a sudden could have a

2704
02:16:40,840 --> 02:16:43,920
Speaker 1: very different look. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

2705
02:16:44,920 --> 02:16:47,879
Speaker 2: Tell me you know this song, Steve Hartman, We're gonna

2706
02:16:47,920 --> 02:16:49,440
Speaker 2: let it play a little bit, a little bit. You

2707
02:16:49,520 --> 02:16:54,840
Speaker 2: have to know this is no dude, Maybe the chorus,

2708
02:16:55,600 --> 02:16:56,320
Speaker 2: that's what it is.

2709
02:16:56,400 --> 02:16:59,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'll put it this way. Have I heard this before? Yes,

2710
02:16:59,840 --> 02:17:03,760
Speaker 1: I've heard this before. Can I identify the artist?

2711
02:17:04,560 --> 02:17:07,200
Speaker 10: No, you will feel so stupid when we tell you.

2712
02:17:09,520 --> 02:17:16,039
Speaker 1: Will Smith. Yeah, thank you, thank you. First second I

2713
02:17:16,080 --> 02:17:18,520
Speaker 1: heard him, I heard Will Smith. I will tell you this.

2714
02:17:18,840 --> 02:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Do you either one of you guys know I'll tell

2715
02:17:23,760 --> 02:17:26,959
Speaker 1: you how this happened. I was at a movie premiere

2716
02:17:27,120 --> 02:17:33,280
Speaker 1: for a movie about the Texas Western basketball team that

2717
02:17:33,320 --> 02:17:36,960
Speaker 1: won the National champions called Glory Roads. And it's the

2718
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:41,000
Speaker 1: only time I've actually been on a red carpet. So

2719
02:17:41,080 --> 02:17:44,080
Speaker 1: we were invited to do this movie. We've done a

2720
02:17:44,120 --> 02:17:46,360
Speaker 1: lot of promotion on and everything else. So I was

2721
02:17:46,440 --> 02:17:48,480
Speaker 1: dressed nice because you know, I'm going to have to

2722
02:17:48,520 --> 02:17:51,080
Speaker 1: walk the red carpet to get into the theater. I

2723
02:17:51,080 --> 02:17:52,760
Speaker 1: think it was at the Pantagious Theater. It was a

2724
02:17:52,760 --> 02:17:56,320
Speaker 1: big time movie premiere. But I got there really early,

2725
02:17:56,440 --> 02:17:58,320
Speaker 1: right because I know all the big celebrities are going

2726
02:17:58,360 --> 02:18:00,200
Speaker 1: to come. So I was literally because the on the

2727
02:18:00,240 --> 02:18:02,640
Speaker 1: way into the theater he was walking the red carpet.

2728
02:18:03,120 --> 02:18:04,680
Speaker 1: So I'm walking down the red carpet and all of

2729
02:18:04,680 --> 02:18:06,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, I hear somebody yell out my name, Harbin.

2730
02:18:08,360 --> 02:18:12,240
Speaker 1: I turn around. All of a sudden, lights start flashing

2731
02:18:12,840 --> 02:18:15,640
Speaker 1: like people are taking my pictures, and I was sort

2732
02:18:15,640 --> 02:18:19,959
Speaker 1: of like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa? What what that? No? No, no, no, no,

2733
02:18:20,080 --> 02:18:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, but one guy called out my name. I

2734
02:18:22,200 --> 02:18:24,959
Speaker 1: guess all the paparazzi thought I must be somebody, right,

2735
02:18:25,879 --> 02:18:29,680
Speaker 1: you're somebody. Well anyway, so I walk into the theater

2736
02:18:31,440 --> 02:18:34,880
Speaker 1: and I hear a guy yell at my name, Harbin,

2737
02:18:35,959 --> 02:18:39,680
Speaker 1: and I turn around and I instantly recognized who it was,

2738
02:18:41,600 --> 02:18:42,600
Speaker 1: Young MC.

2739
02:18:43,400 --> 02:18:43,560
Speaker 3: Oh.

2740
02:18:44,320 --> 02:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Now do you guys know Young MC. That's when you

2741
02:18:46,840 --> 02:18:52,039
Speaker 1: know the early days, right right. And I was just

2742
02:18:52,120 --> 02:18:54,640
Speaker 1: blown away. I mean, he had seen me on television

2743
02:18:54,720 --> 02:18:57,360
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I apparently listened to the

2744
02:18:57,440 --> 02:19:00,360
Speaker 1: radio show or whatever, and I was like, this is

2745
02:19:00,400 --> 02:19:04,600
Speaker 1: like good cred here like young MC. So he was

2746
02:19:04,720 --> 02:19:08,360
Speaker 1: super nice and everything else. But anyway, yeah, so yeah,

2747
02:19:08,400 --> 02:19:09,360
Speaker 1: I got will Smith there.

2748
02:19:09,480 --> 02:19:09,720
Speaker 2: Nice.

2749
02:19:09,800 --> 02:19:13,160
Speaker 1: It took me a little bit. I got that one. Well,

2750
02:19:13,200 --> 02:19:16,480
Speaker 1: let's not delay the inevitable. Let's let's talk about your clippers.

2751
02:19:16,560 --> 02:19:19,199
Speaker 2: Let's not and say we did okay.

2752
02:19:18,959 --> 02:19:24,920
Speaker 1: So again, two big opt outs today, two major opt outs.

2753
02:19:25,640 --> 02:19:29,560
Speaker 1: Lebron James opting out on fifty one million for the

2754
02:19:29,640 --> 02:19:33,080
Speaker 1: upcoming season. He reportedly is going to work on a

2755
02:19:33,560 --> 02:19:37,760
Speaker 1: much more friendly deal moving forward for Lakers, which makes

2756
02:19:37,800 --> 02:19:41,439
Speaker 1: sense because I know he wants to help win a championship,

2757
02:19:41,480 --> 02:19:44,080
Speaker 1: not only to enhance his own resume, but to have

2758
02:19:44,160 --> 02:19:47,320
Speaker 1: his young son also be part of a championship team.

2759
02:19:47,800 --> 02:19:50,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Paul George is accepting less money.

2760
02:19:50,879 --> 02:19:51,400
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

2761
02:19:51,520 --> 02:19:56,600
Speaker 1: He rejected seven and seventy six dollars. He said, no,

2762
02:19:56,680 --> 02:20:02,199
Speaker 1: that's fully guaranteed money for one year of basketball. Kawhi

2763
02:20:02,320 --> 02:20:06,560
Speaker 1: Leonard is signed for two more years. Kawhi Actually, the

2764
02:20:06,560 --> 02:20:10,560
Speaker 1: way he structured his deal, he will make less money

2765
02:20:10,959 --> 02:20:15,560
Speaker 1: next year than he makes this season, which again is

2766
02:20:16,440 --> 02:20:20,560
Speaker 1: taking one for the team exactly Kawhi's numbers here. The

2767
02:20:20,640 --> 02:20:23,680
Speaker 1: idea that Paul George should make more money than Kawhi

2768
02:20:23,760 --> 02:20:25,920
Speaker 1: Leonard is blasphemous.

2769
02:20:27,120 --> 02:20:27,840
Speaker 2: Blasphemous.

2770
02:20:28,360 --> 02:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Is that what he's looking for?

2771
02:20:29,680 --> 02:20:30,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what.

2772
02:20:30,440 --> 02:20:33,360
Speaker 1: Basically, he's almost making the same amount of money. Does

2773
02:20:33,400 --> 02:20:34,360
Speaker 1: he want more?

2774
02:20:34,680 --> 02:20:37,560
Speaker 2: It seems like he wants more and more years, and

2775
02:20:37,600 --> 02:20:38,600
Speaker 2: it's really frustrating.

2776
02:20:38,680 --> 02:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Well, you could only get more staying with your current team.

2777
02:20:41,480 --> 02:20:43,879
Speaker 1: He's not going to get that money anywhere else.

2778
02:20:43,800 --> 02:20:47,200
Speaker 2: Right, and so he's holding us hostage because he could

2779
02:20:47,240 --> 02:20:49,520
Speaker 2: have opted in and maybe we would have traded him,

2780
02:20:49,560 --> 02:20:53,320
Speaker 2: but instead you're trying to force the Clippers to give

2781
02:20:53,360 --> 02:20:56,760
Speaker 2: you more money. And it's very annoying because you haven't

2782
02:20:56,840 --> 02:20:59,520
Speaker 2: done much for the Clippers. You were not good in

2783
02:20:59,520 --> 02:21:01,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs in twenty twenty, and you were not good

2784
02:21:01,640 --> 02:21:04,320
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four. You didn't play in the playoffs

2785
02:21:04,360 --> 02:21:07,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three. You had

2786
02:21:07,680 --> 02:21:11,720
Speaker 2: a good postseason in twenty twenty one. Sure, but throughout

2787
02:21:11,760 --> 02:21:16,200
Speaker 2: this past season it seems like he has shown less

2788
02:21:16,240 --> 02:21:18,879
Speaker 2: effort every single time, like he doesn't care as much.

2789
02:21:18,920 --> 02:21:21,879
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier today in his podcast where he says

2790
02:21:21,920 --> 02:21:24,600
Speaker 2: that he didn't like the way the offense was run.

2791
02:21:24,800 --> 02:21:26,920
Speaker 2: He didn't think it was the best for his style,

2792
02:21:27,440 --> 02:21:30,960
Speaker 2: mentioned that he doesn't really care about winning a championship.

2793
02:21:31,280 --> 02:21:32,439
Speaker 10: So after all.

2794
02:21:32,240 --> 02:21:34,840
Speaker 2: Of this, why are you doing this to the Clippers.

2795
02:21:36,520 --> 02:21:39,800
Speaker 2: It's very annoying because when we resigned Kawhi Leonard, when

2796
02:21:39,800 --> 02:21:41,480
Speaker 2: we extended him for two years, I was like, fine,

2797
02:21:41,800 --> 02:21:44,360
Speaker 2: run it back, let's give it another chance, let's see

2798
02:21:44,360 --> 02:21:46,240
Speaker 2: if we can make this happen. And now I'm like,

2799
02:21:46,280 --> 02:21:48,440
Speaker 2: you know what, Paul George, get out of here, Get

2800
02:21:48,480 --> 02:21:49,600
Speaker 2: out of here. We don't need to run it back

2801
02:21:49,640 --> 02:21:49,840
Speaker 2: with you.

2802
02:21:51,040 --> 02:21:55,119
Speaker 1: I mean again, like too many players around the NBA,

2803
02:21:55,240 --> 02:21:58,040
Speaker 1: this guy missed way too many games. It's amazing how

2804
02:21:58,080 --> 02:22:00,200
Speaker 1: all these guys once they put the new rules in

2805
02:22:00,240 --> 02:22:02,640
Speaker 1: about sixty five games, like if you play less than

2806
02:22:02,640 --> 02:22:05,600
Speaker 1: sixty five you're not eligible for any postseason awards and

2807
02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:08,280
Speaker 1: not eligible for the All NBA team. Everybody, all of

2808
02:22:08,280 --> 02:22:11,280
Speaker 1: a sudden, played seventy plus games this year. Lebron did,

2809
02:22:11,400 --> 02:22:15,760
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, Paul George played seventy four games. Look as

2810
02:22:15,879 --> 02:22:18,840
Speaker 1: numbers this past year were good. In fact, he shot

2811
02:22:18,920 --> 02:22:21,480
Speaker 1: forty one percent from the three point line. He had

2812
02:22:21,520 --> 02:22:25,040
Speaker 1: the highest three point shooting percentage of his entire career

2813
02:22:25,640 --> 02:22:30,200
Speaker 1: this past season, ninety one percent free throw percentage highest

2814
02:22:30,360 --> 02:22:35,880
Speaker 1: of his career, forty seven point field goal percentage highest

2815
02:22:36,000 --> 02:22:39,520
Speaker 1: of his career. So from that standpoint, I can imagine

2816
02:22:39,560 --> 02:22:43,440
Speaker 1: he's saying, I just had, at least from a shooting standpoint,

2817
02:22:43,480 --> 02:22:46,240
Speaker 1: the best year of my career. And I played seventy

2818
02:22:46,240 --> 02:22:46,760
Speaker 1: four games.

2819
02:22:46,840 --> 02:22:49,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, during the regular season, and then we get to

2820
02:22:49,240 --> 02:22:51,800
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and you don't want to be the go

2821
02:22:51,840 --> 02:22:54,160
Speaker 2: to guy, and we needed you to be the go

2822
02:22:54,240 --> 02:22:54,640
Speaker 2: to guy.

2823
02:22:55,360 --> 02:22:58,120
Speaker 4: Kow I got hurt again. We needed you to be

2824
02:22:58,200 --> 02:22:59,440
Speaker 4: the go to guy and you.

2825
02:23:00,120 --> 02:23:00,800
Speaker 2: Didn't want to be.

2826
02:23:01,440 --> 02:23:03,520
Speaker 4: I don't know what it is. I don't know if

2827
02:23:03,560 --> 02:23:04,200
Speaker 4: it's the pressure.

2828
02:23:04,280 --> 02:23:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's psychological at this point when

2829
02:23:06,360 --> 02:23:08,320
Speaker 2: it comes to the playoffs, I don't know. But he

2830
02:23:09,280 --> 02:23:12,240
Speaker 2: did not deliver for the Clippers in the playoffs this

2831
02:23:12,280 --> 02:23:12,800
Speaker 2: past year.

2832
02:23:12,879 --> 02:23:16,240
Speaker 1: No, we didn't, and all those numbers went down considerably

2833
02:23:16,320 --> 02:23:19,120
Speaker 1: in the postseason again, in fact, a shooting percentage was

2834
02:23:19,160 --> 02:23:21,640
Speaker 1: just forty one percent. What happened to James Harden.

2835
02:23:22,000 --> 02:23:25,280
Speaker 2: Well, he only plays well in games one and I

2836
02:23:25,320 --> 02:23:29,520
Speaker 2: think three. When you get to game five, that's its

2837
02:23:29,600 --> 02:23:33,240
Speaker 2: kryptonite that you can't he cannot play game five. I

2838
02:23:33,280 --> 02:23:38,120
Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but yeah, but you know,

2839
02:23:38,280 --> 02:23:40,640
Speaker 2: even with that, James Harding, you're not supposed to be

2840
02:23:40,640 --> 02:23:44,240
Speaker 2: our number one, you know, like Paul George, you were

2841
02:23:44,240 --> 02:23:46,800
Speaker 2: supposed to be the number one in that situation. And

2842
02:23:46,840 --> 02:23:49,560
Speaker 2: it's just frustrating because this isn't only this isn't the

2843
02:23:49,640 --> 02:23:52,040
Speaker 2: second year with the Clippers, this isn't the third year.

2844
02:23:52,240 --> 02:23:54,400
Speaker 2: We've been doing this for how long and we're just

2845
02:23:54,440 --> 02:23:56,560
Speaker 2: waiting still for something.

2846
02:23:57,520 --> 02:23:59,760
Speaker 1: Well and the other thing was thinking back to his

2847
02:23:59,800 --> 02:24:03,000
Speaker 1: pay days. This guy was a two way player. He

2848
02:24:03,160 --> 02:24:05,680
Speaker 1: was making all defensive teams as well. That's been a

2849
02:24:05,800 --> 02:24:08,959
Speaker 1: long thing in the rear view Marraica. Yeah, he's not

2850
02:24:09,040 --> 02:24:09,959
Speaker 1: doing that anymore.

2851
02:24:10,120 --> 02:24:12,760
Speaker 2: No, and he's he's defending fine, but not to the

2852
02:24:13,040 --> 02:24:13,840
Speaker 2: extent like what you.

2853
02:24:13,760 --> 02:24:16,680
Speaker 1: Said of no not buying him station now. Paul George

2854
02:24:16,720 --> 02:24:18,800
Speaker 1: is a very confusing player to me. Yeah, I mean

2855
02:24:18,840 --> 02:24:20,560
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know what to say. Is he

2856
02:24:21,040 --> 02:24:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's been an All Star obviously a

2857
02:24:23,160 --> 02:24:25,760
Speaker 1: number of times. He's been on all NBA teams. Is

2858
02:24:25,800 --> 02:24:28,840
Speaker 1: he overrated? Is he underrated? I don't know, and all the.

2859
02:24:28,760 --> 02:24:30,880
Speaker 2: Teams he's been, which I know players do this, So

2860
02:24:30,959 --> 02:24:32,680
Speaker 2: this is just you know, hitting me because I'm a

2861
02:24:32,680 --> 02:24:35,200
Speaker 2: Clipper fan. But when he was in Indiana, he said like,

2862
02:24:35,320 --> 02:24:37,320
Speaker 2: I want to be here. I want to stay here forever.

2863
02:24:37,640 --> 02:24:39,440
Speaker 2: He goes to Okay, see, I want to be here.

2864
02:24:39,480 --> 02:24:41,760
Speaker 2: We can bring the thing home. He comes to the Clippers.

2865
02:24:41,840 --> 02:24:42,560
Speaker 2: I want to be here.

2866
02:24:42,600 --> 02:24:44,040
Speaker 4: I want to retire a Clipper.

2867
02:24:45,400 --> 02:24:46,000
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

2868
02:24:46,240 --> 02:24:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2869
02:24:46,480 --> 02:24:47,040
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

2870
02:24:47,240 --> 02:24:51,280
Speaker 1: All right? Once again we remind you that right after

2876
02:25:04,160 --> 02:25:06,840
Speaker 1: show posted right after we get off the air. He's

2877
02:25:06,879 --> 02:25:11,040
Speaker 1: a very confusing player to me in how to classify him.

2878
02:25:11,200 --> 02:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Let's find out what it's trending right now, so we'll

2879
02:25:13,360 --> 02:25:16,680
Speaker 1: turn to Brian Finley to give us the definitive answer

2880
02:25:16,760 --> 02:25:22,520
Speaker 1: of where we should place Paul George and the lexicon

2881
02:25:22,640 --> 02:25:23,800
Speaker 1: of NBA players.

2882
02:25:23,959 --> 02:25:27,880
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, let me add the disclaimer with you, Moncie.

2883
02:25:27,879 --> 02:25:29,920
Speaker 8: I am a Clipper fan so and I know Steve

2884
02:25:30,160 --> 02:25:32,880
Speaker 8: that you're aware of that. I will admit I'm not

2885
02:25:32,920 --> 02:25:35,400
Speaker 8: going to tell you where this was, but I've seen

2886
02:25:35,480 --> 02:25:42,000
Speaker 8: Paul George golf and it is embarrassing. Doesn't give it

2887
02:25:42,160 --> 02:25:46,520
Speaker 8: justice really, I mean, like Charles Barkley, dude, I commend

2888
02:25:46,600 --> 02:25:49,959
Speaker 8: him for trying in the persistence with a golf club

2889
02:25:50,040 --> 02:25:52,600
Speaker 8: in his hand, but he was topping the ball.

2890
02:25:52,480 --> 02:25:53,119
Speaker 1: Left and right.

2891
02:25:53,600 --> 02:25:55,440
Speaker 8: Now you think about it, he's a taller guy, and

2892
02:25:55,440 --> 02:26:00,160
Speaker 8: I'm sure the golf clubs probably weren't in a way,

2893
02:26:00,320 --> 02:26:04,120
Speaker 8: you know, contorted to his body size. But what I

2894
02:26:04,160 --> 02:26:07,440
Speaker 8: will say is, I you know, have you guys ever

2895
02:26:07,480 --> 02:26:08,720
Speaker 8: seen the movie Tin Cup?

2896
02:26:08,879 --> 02:26:09,039
Speaker 2: Oh?

2897
02:26:09,120 --> 02:26:11,680
Speaker 1: Yes, man, there's this scene. It's this golf it's this

2898
02:26:11,720 --> 02:26:12,920
Speaker 1: really awesome golf movie.

2899
02:26:13,000 --> 02:26:16,800
Speaker 8: And there's this scene where Kevin Costner is on the

2900
02:26:16,879 --> 02:26:20,720
Speaker 8: driving range at the US Open in front of all

2901
02:26:20,800 --> 02:26:24,320
Speaker 8: of these dignitaries that are playing, all the big pros,

2902
02:26:24,600 --> 02:26:26,000
Speaker 8: and he just starts topping the ball.

2903
02:26:26,120 --> 02:26:28,640
Speaker 1: Imagine seeing the hack out.

2904
02:26:28,440 --> 02:26:30,039
Speaker 8: There and I don't want to I guess I use

2905
02:26:30,120 --> 02:26:33,199
Speaker 8: that word, but on the range at the US Open

2906
02:26:33,240 --> 02:26:35,200
Speaker 8: with all these pros, and they keep looking around like,

2907
02:26:35,200 --> 02:26:38,080
Speaker 8: who is that guy who's making that mistake with the

2908
02:26:38,120 --> 02:26:38,640
Speaker 8: golf club?

2909
02:26:39,040 --> 02:26:40,640
Speaker 1: By the way, Can I share a very quick fall

2910
02:26:40,760 --> 02:26:44,240
Speaker 1: up to that story? So I always have a fall up,

2911
02:26:44,240 --> 02:26:48,040
Speaker 1: you know that. So after the movie came out, Tin Cup,

2912
02:26:48,240 --> 02:26:51,640
Speaker 1: I was up at Pebble Beach. This was in nineteen

2913
02:26:51,720 --> 02:26:54,480
Speaker 1: ninety nine, covering the Pebble Beach pro am up there

2914
02:26:55,200 --> 02:27:01,039
Speaker 1: for television, and I see Kevin Costner on the driving

2915
02:27:01,160 --> 02:27:04,120
Speaker 1: range by himself, hitting golf balls not well, by the way,

2916
02:27:05,360 --> 02:27:07,400
Speaker 1: So I waited. I just wanted to sort of, you know,

2917
02:27:07,959 --> 02:27:11,119
Speaker 1: touch base with him. I think he had a sense.

2918
02:27:11,160 --> 02:27:13,279
Speaker 1: I was standing there and he just sort of ignored

2919
02:27:13,320 --> 02:27:16,920
Speaker 1: me and just kidd it hitting balls not well. Finally

2920
02:27:16,920 --> 02:27:19,760
Speaker 1: he was done, so I was just being nice. I said, Kevin,

2921
02:27:20,600 --> 02:27:22,160
Speaker 1: do you have a quick second. He just sort of

2922
02:27:22,160 --> 02:27:24,720
Speaker 1: looked at me and I said sure. I said, what

2923
02:27:24,840 --> 02:27:28,000
Speaker 1: is it? What is it that you love about this game? Oh?

2924
02:27:28,560 --> 02:27:32,560
Speaker 1: And he said, who says I love this game? And

2925
02:27:32,680 --> 02:27:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean he wasn't laughing. That was pretty much the

2926
02:27:36,360 --> 02:27:39,600
Speaker 1: end of the interview. I walked away like, wow, you're

2927
02:27:39,640 --> 02:27:44,320
Speaker 1: really fun. But years later I ran into him in

2928
02:27:44,360 --> 02:27:46,680
Speaker 1: a different setting and he couldn't have been nicer. So

2929
02:27:46,720 --> 02:27:48,920
Speaker 1: there you go. But he was having a tough day

2930
02:27:48,920 --> 02:27:50,879
Speaker 1: on the range and that's what golf can do to

2931
02:27:50,920 --> 02:27:51,280
Speaker 1: your head.

2932
02:27:51,440 --> 02:27:53,520
Speaker 8: You also, then you forgot to mention this that you

2933
02:27:53,560 --> 02:27:55,840
Speaker 8: buried the lead Steve. You asked him how much money

2934
02:27:56,320 --> 02:27:59,560
Speaker 8: his box office hit water World made.

2935
02:28:00,520 --> 02:28:00,680
Speaker 9: Yeah.

2936
02:28:00,720 --> 02:28:02,360
Speaker 1: I could have done that. That's one way to get

2937
02:28:02,400 --> 02:28:05,080
Speaker 1: him in a bad mood. Yeah, yeah, I did not

2938
02:28:05,160 --> 02:28:06,800
Speaker 1: do that. I could have talked about his oscars. He

2939
02:28:06,840 --> 02:28:08,840
Speaker 1: went for dances with the wolves for sure.

2940
02:28:09,000 --> 02:28:13,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, speaking of Paul George, who is dancing around the

2941
02:28:13,080 --> 02:28:15,600
Speaker 8: thought of staying with the Clippers, who might He might

2942
02:28:15,640 --> 02:28:17,320
Speaker 8: still be there, But what we do know is that

2943
02:28:17,360 --> 02:28:19,680
Speaker 8: he has shot down the forty eight point seven million

2944
02:28:19,760 --> 02:28:22,440
Speaker 8: dollar player option in the hopes of which he is

2945
02:28:22,920 --> 02:28:24,680
Speaker 8: heading into unrestricted free agency.

2946
02:28:24,720 --> 02:28:24,879
Speaker 3: Now.

2947
02:28:25,120 --> 02:28:29,040
Speaker 8: ESPN is reporting the interests of Paul George where he

2948
02:28:29,120 --> 02:28:31,760
Speaker 8: might go. Yes, there's the Laker or not the Laker.

2949
02:28:31,760 --> 02:28:32,280
Speaker 1: Excuse me?

2950
02:28:32,360 --> 02:28:36,400
Speaker 8: He hold the horses everybody the other team in Los Angeles.

2951
02:28:36,480 --> 02:28:39,120
Speaker 8: He is still interested in the Clippers, but there is

2952
02:28:39,240 --> 02:28:42,160
Speaker 8: also interest in him going to the seventy six Ers

2953
02:28:42,800 --> 02:28:47,520
Speaker 8: and a team like the Orlando Magic. So from tomorrow

2954
02:28:47,640 --> 02:28:51,080
Speaker 8: night into Monday, reports are that all three of those

2955
02:28:51,120 --> 02:28:54,800
Speaker 8: teams going to have representation come out to his part

2956
02:28:54,800 --> 02:28:57,160
Speaker 8: of the country on the West Coast and speak with

2957
02:28:57,240 --> 02:29:01,080
Speaker 8: him about whether or not each maybe the three could

2958
02:29:01,080 --> 02:29:03,000
Speaker 8: be the potential shooters. Of course, he's looking for a

2959
02:29:03,040 --> 02:29:07,080
Speaker 8: longer term deal with more money, and we'll see how

2960
02:29:07,080 --> 02:29:10,520
Speaker 8: that all pans out. Lebron James, he says that he

2961
02:29:10,680 --> 02:29:13,280
Speaker 8: is willing to opt out of his final year of

2962
02:29:13,320 --> 02:29:15,320
Speaker 8: the deal that he has right now with the Lakers.

2963
02:29:15,360 --> 02:29:17,680
Speaker 8: He wants to stay with the team long term with

2964
02:29:17,800 --> 02:29:21,720
Speaker 8: more money, although, according to Rich Paul of Clutch Sports,

2965
02:29:21,800 --> 02:29:25,800
Speaker 8: his agent telling ESPN that he is James opened to

2966
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:28,240
Speaker 8: a pay cut in order to make financial room for

2967
02:29:28,320 --> 02:29:32,120
Speaker 8: a significant roster. Addition, the Golden State Warriors are letting

2968
02:29:32,160 --> 02:29:34,600
Speaker 8: go of one of their greats from their roster. It

2969
02:29:34,640 --> 02:29:37,720
Speaker 8: seems like all signs are pointing to that Klay Thompson

2970
02:29:37,920 --> 02:29:43,800
Speaker 8: is free agency bound. Also to mention the Kim Reddish sweepstakes, well,

2971
02:29:43,840 --> 02:29:45,880
Speaker 8: he is going to get back back to the Lakers,

2972
02:29:45,879 --> 02:29:48,760
Speaker 8: committing on a two point five million dollar player option.

2973
02:29:49,320 --> 02:29:53,000
Speaker 8: Notably in the NFL, former NFL first overall draft pick

2974
02:29:53,080 --> 02:29:58,760
Speaker 8: JaMarcus Russell got fired as a football volunteer assistant coach

2975
02:29:58,959 --> 02:30:03,400
Speaker 8: for the Heights, where he went for allegedly trying to

2976
02:30:03,600 --> 02:30:07,880
Speaker 8: pocket a seventy four one thousand dollars check intended for

2977
02:30:07,920 --> 02:30:10,039
Speaker 8: the school as a donation. You can imagine how that

2978
02:30:10,080 --> 02:30:14,240
Speaker 8: went went over with everybody, and he is facing a lawsuit.

2979
02:30:14,760 --> 02:30:20,160
Speaker 8: European Championship Switzerland winning two nil over Italy that would

2980
02:30:20,200 --> 02:30:23,800
Speaker 8: be in the round of sixteen. And lastly, here in

2981
02:30:23,920 --> 02:30:27,800
Speaker 8: Major League Baseball, we've got a ton of games that

2982
02:30:27,840 --> 02:30:31,920
Speaker 8: have already wrapped up, including the Yankees losing nine to

2983
02:30:31,959 --> 02:30:34,760
Speaker 8: three to the Blue Jays, Marlins over the Phillies three

2984
02:30:34,840 --> 02:30:38,800
Speaker 8: to two, the Mets get beaten by the Astros nine

2985
02:30:38,800 --> 02:30:41,160
Speaker 8: to six, wins for the Braves two to one against

2986
02:30:41,160 --> 02:30:45,760
Speaker 8: the Pirates in ten innings, and the Padres quietly as

2987
02:30:45,760 --> 02:30:48,880
Speaker 8: they get it back to you, Steven Montci, the Padres

2988
02:30:48,959 --> 02:30:54,320
Speaker 8: slowly working themselves into the conversation of being somebody and

2989
02:30:54,400 --> 02:30:57,080
Speaker 8: being at CV. I know, and with your ties to

2990
02:30:57,160 --> 02:31:01,680
Speaker 8: the Dodgers, I'm sure that that goes. Yeah, they no

2991
02:31:01,760 --> 02:31:05,320
Speaker 8: laying counts.

2992
02:31:06,800 --> 02:31:09,039
Speaker 2: Yeah yah, that was Spanish.

2993
02:31:09,280 --> 02:31:14,040
Speaker 8: I just want to know that was right when Padres

2994
02:31:14,080 --> 02:31:21,920
Speaker 8: Ghana eleven sobre Los red Sox.

2995
02:31:25,200 --> 02:31:27,400
Speaker 1: Yes, Manny Machada a couple of home runs on that

2996
02:31:27,480 --> 02:31:30,560
Speaker 1: one we were watching. Some of the highlights was Bomb's

2997
02:31:30,600 --> 02:31:34,040
Speaker 1: away for the Padres out there at Fenway. Manny Machado

2998
02:31:34,440 --> 02:31:36,959
Speaker 1: is someone that Moncey and I were talking about. He

2999
02:31:37,080 --> 02:31:41,920
Speaker 1: was so despised in his half season with the Dodgers.

3000
02:31:42,000 --> 02:31:42,240
Speaker 3: Yep.

3001
02:31:43,280 --> 02:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Of course, you know, Sigar got hurt. They needed a replacement.

3002
02:31:46,440 --> 02:31:49,039
Speaker 1: They get Manny Machado. They actually made it to the

3003
02:31:49,040 --> 02:31:50,920
Speaker 1: World Series when they got blown out by the Red

3004
02:31:50,959 --> 02:31:54,440
Speaker 1: Sox in the series and they couldn't say goodbye quick

3005
02:31:54,520 --> 02:31:59,200
Speaker 1: enough and then just added nowhere gave the Padres gave

3006
02:31:59,240 --> 02:32:01,320
Speaker 1: him a three hundred million dollar deal. I was working

3007
02:32:01,320 --> 02:32:03,040
Speaker 1: in San Diego at the time. It was just like,

3008
02:32:03,879 --> 02:32:06,400
Speaker 1: how did this happen? Where they come up with all

3009
02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:10,360
Speaker 1: this money? Well that was Peter Seidler, the late Peter Seidler,

3010
02:32:10,440 --> 02:32:13,400
Speaker 1: who was deciding that he was going to be doing

3011
02:32:13,400 --> 02:32:16,080
Speaker 1: whatever he possibly could to bring a World Series championship

3012
02:32:16,080 --> 02:32:19,000
Speaker 1: to San Diego. But the Manny Machadad that has been

3013
02:32:19,040 --> 02:32:22,280
Speaker 1: in San Diego bears no resemblance to the guy he

3014
02:32:22,360 --> 02:32:25,280
Speaker 1: was in LA. He's a team leader, and I'll tell

3015
02:32:25,320 --> 02:32:26,920
Speaker 1: you this team he inspected in that class.

3016
02:32:26,959 --> 02:32:29,320
Speaker 8: This Padre team has no resemblance to the one that

3017
02:32:29,360 --> 02:32:31,440
Speaker 8: I grew up with that looked like the West Coast

3018
02:32:31,520 --> 02:32:33,640
Speaker 8: version of the Montreal Expos.

3019
02:32:33,760 --> 02:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Yes, it was a Triple A team. Even when I

3020
02:32:37,400 --> 02:32:39,440
Speaker 1: when I went back to San Diego in the mid

3021
02:32:39,560 --> 02:32:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, like twenty fourteen, I didn't even know a

3022
02:32:42,680 --> 02:32:45,640
Speaker 1: single player on that team. No, it was completely anonymous.

3023
02:32:45,680 --> 02:32:49,200
Speaker 1: They were awful, and then Peter Siler decided enough of

3024
02:32:49,240 --> 02:32:55,400
Speaker 1: this and they just started signing players. We're also talking

3025
02:32:55,400 --> 02:32:59,600
Speaker 1: about Fernando Tatist Junior. I mean, what was it two

3026
02:32:59,680 --> 02:33:04,440
Speaker 1: years ago? He is the face of baseball. Fernando Tatis

3027
02:33:04,520 --> 02:33:09,360
Speaker 1: Junior was the face of baseball. He was everywhere, and

3028
02:33:09,440 --> 02:33:12,640
Speaker 1: then he got hurt, and then he got busted for

3029
02:33:12,680 --> 02:33:13,320
Speaker 1: the peds.

3030
02:33:13,560 --> 02:33:15,280
Speaker 8: But you know what you told us earlier in the

3031
02:33:15,320 --> 02:33:18,320
Speaker 8: show in Montana. You remember this, Steve, you said that

3032
02:33:18,400 --> 02:33:20,240
Speaker 8: you like performance enhancing drugs.

3033
02:33:21,160 --> 02:33:23,040
Speaker 1: So how dare you go against your word?

3034
02:33:23,160 --> 02:33:25,040
Speaker 8: If you go on the podcast, you can listen to

3035
02:33:25,040 --> 02:33:27,119
Speaker 8: what Steve said earlier about peds.

3036
02:33:27,240 --> 02:33:31,040
Speaker 1: Let's clarify this. You said I was a fan. No,

3037
02:33:31,320 --> 02:33:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm more than a fan. Okay, I'm super fan.

3038
02:33:34,400 --> 02:33:35,440
Speaker 2: He endorses it.

3039
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:41,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm a huge proponent of performance enhancing drugs.

3040
02:33:41,640 --> 02:33:45,280
Speaker 2: But that's why Fernando Tatis Junior fell off being the

3041
02:33:45,280 --> 02:33:46,520
Speaker 2: face of baseball.

3042
02:33:47,440 --> 02:33:50,320
Speaker 1: I remember at the time thinking to myself because this

3043
02:33:50,480 --> 02:33:53,480
Speaker 1: obviously comes out of the box, you know, like crazy,

3044
02:33:55,080 --> 02:33:57,480
Speaker 1: and the potteris then gave him this three hundred and

3045
02:33:57,520 --> 02:34:03,720
Speaker 1: forty million dollar contract, fully guaranteed fourteen years, no opt outs.

3046
02:34:04,120 --> 02:34:07,080
Speaker 1: Fourteen year deal, no opt outs. In other words, you

3047
02:34:07,200 --> 02:34:10,160
Speaker 1: go where you will be a San Diego Padre for now,

3048
02:34:10,280 --> 02:34:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, unless we trade you. And then after he

3049
02:34:16,640 --> 02:34:19,800
Speaker 1: got busted for PDS, I'm like, I'm John Paul Morossi.

3050
02:34:19,879 --> 02:34:22,879
Speaker 1: I asked him. I said, Okay, so he made a

3051
02:34:22,920 --> 02:34:25,720
Speaker 1: mistake early in his career. If he's cleaned the rest

3052
02:34:25,720 --> 02:34:28,440
Speaker 1: of his career, he plays twenty years, three thousand hits, No.

3053
02:34:28,520 --> 02:34:29,640
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. It's tainted.

3054
02:34:29,959 --> 02:34:33,879
Speaker 1: You're no chance of the Hall of Fame. Like that's it, right, Yeah,

3055
02:34:33,879 --> 02:34:36,119
Speaker 1: that's it because you got busted for PDS. I mean

3056
02:34:36,160 --> 02:34:39,720
Speaker 1: you're really so. Let's say he was a young player,

3057
02:34:40,120 --> 02:34:43,120
Speaker 1: he was maybe frustrated by the injuries, so maybe he

3058
02:34:43,240 --> 02:34:46,840
Speaker 1: use PDS to try to get healthy. He gets busted,

3059
02:34:46,920 --> 02:34:50,199
Speaker 1: and that's it. No Hall of Fame done.

3060
02:34:50,920 --> 02:34:54,600
Speaker 2: Yes, things would have to change.

3061
02:34:54,760 --> 02:34:58,480
Speaker 1: Wow. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Wow. Now once

3062
02:34:58,520 --> 02:35:02,160
Speaker 1: again we're from the time of baseball studios with that

3063
02:35:02,280 --> 02:35:04,920
Speaker 1: information right there. All right, what's coming up this week?

3064
02:35:04,959 --> 02:35:07,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna tell you this is Fox Sports Saturday.

3065
02:35:11,560 --> 02:35:13,520
Speaker 10: All right, I will give you do you guys know

02:35:16,600 --> 02:35:16,920
Speaker 10: play out.

3068
02:35:16,959 --> 02:35:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, let play Eddie Murphy. Yeah, I know, way, yeah,

3069
02:35:24,320 --> 02:35:26,400
Speaker 1: I know Eddie Murphy. This is his one.

3070
02:35:26,280 --> 02:35:29,640
Speaker 2: Song, like the Eddie Murphy.

3071

Speaker 1: going to be my birthday week on Thursday. It's it's

3115
02:37:32,280 --> 02:37:34,520
Speaker 1: like I said, at certain points of your life, every

3116
02:37:34,720 --> 02:37:38,440
Speaker 1: every birthday is a milestone. A lot of milestone birthdays,

3117
02:37:39,240 --> 02:37:41,520
Speaker 1: but you know, it's always fun. With the fourth of July,

3118
02:37:41,680 --> 02:37:44,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a great holiday, and you know, I

3119
02:37:44,480 --> 02:37:48,560
Speaker 1: know there's some resistance out there to celebrate our nation's birthday.

3120
02:37:48,720 --> 02:37:51,320
Speaker 1: In my opinion that there is no resistance, No, not

3121
02:37:51,400 --> 02:37:54,480
Speaker 1: at all. Yeah, it is great to celebrate the greatest

3122
02:37:54,480 --> 02:37:57,560
Speaker 1: country that this world has ever known. Yeah, it's my opinion.

3123
02:37:57,680 --> 02:37:59,600
Speaker 1: You know. So I don't know everybody agrees with me,

3124
02:37:59,680 --> 02:38:02,440
Speaker 1: But I'm not going to get into all of that.

3125
02:38:07,120 --> 02:38:09,920
Speaker 1: You know, when I think about sports in general, when

3126
02:38:09,959 --> 02:38:12,360
Speaker 1: I think about when you think about Fourth of July

3127
02:38:12,480 --> 02:38:17,959
Speaker 1: celebrating our nation's birthday, and you think about events that

3128
02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:22,080
Speaker 1: bring people in this country together, I mean, I cannot

3129
02:38:22,200 --> 02:38:25,320
Speaker 1: help but think about the nine to eleven situation and

3130
02:38:25,360 --> 02:38:28,840
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball and the World Series between the

3131
02:38:28,840 --> 02:38:33,000
Speaker 1: Diamondbacks and the Yankees, and or how about the first

3132
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:35,120
Speaker 1: game when President Bush came out and threw a perfect

3133
02:38:35,200 --> 02:38:39,680
Speaker 1: strike at that game, I mean, and everyone's united. I

3134
02:38:39,720 --> 02:38:44,520
Speaker 1: mean just you know, USA, USA, Whitney Houston singing at

3135
02:38:44,520 --> 02:38:47,039
Speaker 1: the national anthem at Super Bowl twenty five. I get

3136
02:38:47,040 --> 02:38:50,040
Speaker 1: goosebumps just talking about it. These are the things that

3137
02:38:50,280 --> 02:38:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, as an American, I wish we.

3138
02:38:52,959 --> 02:38:55,160
Speaker 2: Had more of, of course, where.

3139
02:38:55,000 --> 02:38:58,160
Speaker 1: We can sort of all get together and celebrate together

3140
02:38:58,959 --> 02:38:59,879
Speaker 1: the great country that we.

3141
02:39:00,200 --> 02:39:02,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, moments where everyone is actually united.

3142
02:39:03,080 --> 02:39:08,720
Speaker 1: It's it's unfortunately too rare. Yeah, but when it does happen,

3143
02:39:08,800 --> 02:39:12,959
Speaker 1: when something brings us all together, nothing better.

3144
02:39:13,520 --> 02:39:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

3145
02:39:14,280 --> 02:39:16,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, and sports has been on a big part

3146
02:39:16,480 --> 02:39:18,720
Speaker 1: of it. And that's that's what I say, sporting events.

3147
02:39:20,240 --> 02:39:24,200
Speaker 1: The thing I love about sports in general is it

3148
02:39:24,320 --> 02:39:28,360
Speaker 1: just brings a lot of people together, our team versus

3149
02:39:28,400 --> 02:39:31,840
Speaker 1: your team, you know, and when you're in that situation,

3150
02:39:31,840 --> 02:39:33,000
Speaker 1: where else do you get that?

3151
02:39:33,240 --> 02:39:33,840
Speaker 4: No, you don't.

3152
02:39:34,000 --> 02:39:37,360
Speaker 2: And there is a lot of camaraderie in sports, you know,

3153
02:39:37,600 --> 02:39:39,680
Speaker 2: like people.

3154
02:39:39,360 --> 02:39:44,080
Speaker 1: That you would normally not associate with. Yes, you're high fiving,

3155
02:39:44,160 --> 02:39:47,320
Speaker 1: you're hugging, you're crazy together, yes, because you have a

3156
02:39:47,400 --> 02:39:49,560
Speaker 1: common interest in a certain team.

3157
02:39:49,680 --> 02:39:52,000
Speaker 2: And that I love that. You know, you go watch

3158
02:39:52,000 --> 02:39:53,920
Speaker 2: a game somewhere all of a sudden, like you said,

3159
02:39:54,080 --> 02:39:56,240
Speaker 2: you are literally Facebook friends with someone.

3160
02:39:56,360 --> 02:40:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're just suddenly sitting next to somebody that comes

3161
02:40:00,360 --> 02:40:03,240
Speaker 1: like your bosom buddy, and you're like, I would never

3162
02:40:04,080 --> 02:40:06,440
Speaker 1: ever have a chance to meet this person or you

3163
02:40:06,480 --> 02:40:09,640
Speaker 1: know what are the end Because we're at a sporting event,

3164
02:40:09,720 --> 02:40:12,440

3165
02:40:12,480 --> 02:40:15,920
