76
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: Mike Carmon, I said, Visa, there's you should still be

Speaker 2: I'll tell you what.

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: It's no more annoying than the music they pumped through

00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: an arena during an NBA game.

89
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,440

Speaker 2: You got to be able to work through the noise.

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we've done how many studies here where we've

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: had people screaming in our ears and we have to

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: take our concentration. You know, you'll have ty shirt just

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,520

98
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: have you know, a whole host of folks who are

99
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 3: here for unknown reasons that are looking in.

100
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta keep your composure. I mean, you

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: gotta get your job done. The loud horn, you can't

102
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: let it distract you from the game at hand, particularly

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: when it's such a good one that we saw between

104
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: these two Eastern Conference heavyweights. Well you asked brick Temple

105
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: and how easy it is to try to do anything

106
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: with a loud noise going on like that. Come on, man,

107
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: I don't.

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: Know my way yet. Like, no, that was that was

109
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: a nice thing.

110
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: We started getting some feedback folks on in the X

111
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: world and on Instagram chiming ins because it's a nice

112
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: little wrinkle, not only because it couldn't have happened to

113
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: one of these games where it's a thirty eight point

114
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: burial or anything. Nah, we got all of those all

115
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 3: over the place tonight. Now let's have that happen in

116
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: the one contested game in the prime spot on a

117
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 3: Friday night.

118
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Can you please turn that? Please turn that up, Mike

119
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: Malone not look happy. When I was in college, you

120
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: want a good story about horn.

121
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're already into it, so let's go.

122
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: When I was in college, I worked on this show

123
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: in Syracuse called Sports Nuts Right. It was basically was

124
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: a local sports trivia show and you know, people would

125
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: come in and we taped it on a Friday and

126
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: it aired Saturday like a couple of times on TV.

127
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: And basically it was a really homegrown local show where

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: the hosts and the producers would make up the questions

129
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: to be used on it and everything else, and it

130
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: was it was. It was here. Here's how local it was.

131
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: The very first show, the name of the one team

132
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: was a bunch of guys that were and they called themselves.

133
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: The name of the team was the Burger King Whoppers.

134
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: And they realized, like right before they went on the

135
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: air that they probably couldn't do that because you know,

136
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: the Whopper is the thing. So they just took a

137
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: they took a piece of paper and put it over

138
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: the W in front of their name on their name

139
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: plate and it just said burger king hoppers. Well, I mean,

140
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: that's not an advice I pub crawl, just you're eating burgers.

141
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: So my job during the show, it was my very

142
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: first thing I ever did in in in media. It

143
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: was like one of the things I like, oh, I

144
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: got to do this for this is awesome, This is awesome.

145
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: And my job was to the at the end of

146
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: the show. My job was to run the buzzer. And

147
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: so one of the like, I did bunch of stuff

148
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: during the show, and I prompted I did a bunch stuff,

149
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: but I was to run the buzzer. And it was

150
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: like the second or third show that we did, and

151
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: they had the players had like thirty seconds for the

152
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: final answer, okay, and the final and I forget what

153
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,559
Speaker 1: the final question was, but the host asked the question

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: and I set the timer and something happened and the

155
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: timer went and it wouldn't stop going off, and you

156
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: just hear and everybody is looking up, and the teams

157
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: are looking up, and the host is looking at me,

158
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: and he's like, well, and I go and I try

159
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: to shut it off and I can't, and I don't

160
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: know where it's plugged into. It and it's going off

161
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: for like fifteen seconds. But this is when these people

162
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: are writing the noises down, the things down. So I'm like,

163
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: oh my god. Finally, after like twenty seconds, I'm a

164
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: bullet to take it, take it out. And I wait

165
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: like ten more seconds, and I give them the sign

166
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: the time is up. They go, okay, time is up.

167
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: I go, oh my god, how are they gonna edit

168
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: the hell out of this? This is good? What are

169
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: they gonna do? So I found so I waited till

170
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: the next day and I watched and it went to

171
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: that point now because we never taped anything again, because

172
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: this is when they're writing down the answers for real.

173
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: And it got to a point where okay, and here's

174
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: uh and here's the uh uh and here's the answer,

175
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: you know, here here's the final question. And they go

176
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: and they play music, and after like ten seconds, everything

177
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: just cuts out and it's just silent, and it's a

178
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: long shot of the crowd watching and and then it

179
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: come back to the end. Okay time that they and

180
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: they put in some crazy ass you know, alarm, like

181
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: like they in post production to make it sound like

182
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 1: that one's the alarm bong. Okay, there's our buzzer and

183
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: here's our answers. I was like, oh wow. And the

184
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: time I thought it was so slick. But after a

185
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: little while, I'm like, oh, that was terrible. That was

186
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: so that's a local show right there, showing you how

187
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna fix it up.

188
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: Oh it's pretty good.

189
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 5: Though.

190
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 2: You've been been able to adapt and grow from being

191
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 2: a bit boy.

192
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: Oh man, there's a little industry for you, hi, everybody.

193
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: I was so embarrassed. In fact, that was the one

194
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: because the credits after the show was over, they always,

195
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, people walk on the set and everything, and

196
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: I always walked on the set. I always walked on

197
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: the sect cause iways wanted the next day go see

198
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: there I am. I proved, I worked. I show my

199
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: roommates and everything. That's me. Look, that's me, that's me.

200
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: But that day I did not walk on the set

201
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: and my dad, who said, you know, notice and I'm

202
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: waiting to see I'm gonna say anything. And my dad goes,

203
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: I didn't feel proud about walking on the set buzzer boy,

204
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: And I'm like, ay, yeah, buzzer boy. That was azerboy

205
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: for a little while.

206
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: Bit boy, Buzzer Boy Yep, that's good. I like that.

207
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: So Cleveland leads Detroit. It's one fourteen, one eleven, still

208
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: six seconds left to go. Detroit shooting free throws. Still

209
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of ways away from the end here,

210
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: probably gonna shoot, maybe make them both and and try

211
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: to foul, get a quick foul. We'll keep you updated

212
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: on Cleveland and Detroit again making way for the rest

213
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: of the night in the NBA. But I want to

214
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: say this because I thought about this a lot today.

215
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: Mike and I just shook my head and I said,

216
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's sometimes once while where when we

217
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: do stuff on the show. Obviously, everything we do is

218
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: for you listening, and you know that's number thing, but

219
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: sometimes it needs to go out to more people than that.

220
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: And this needs to go out to my other brethren

221
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: and our other brethren in the media over a story

222
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: that I need to call a time out for. And

223
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: everybody's got a pick, okay, because after today, I'm like, okay,

224
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: people got a pick, man, people got to pick. So

225
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: the last couple of nights have not been great for

226
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: the Lakers after their losses and JJ Reddick saying, hey,

227
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: our losses are louder than everything we did a lot

228
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: on that last night became a big story today. And hey,

229
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 1: maybe a JJ Reddick, the job is too much for you.

230
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's too much for you if you're saying you're

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: worried about how loud, not the fact that you lost

232
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: to a team missing their top two scorers who average

233
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: forty five points a game between the two of them. No,

234
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about how loud the losses are. Let's do that, right,

235
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: Let's do that. But the Luka doncicch hate, Now that's

236
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: suddenly coming in off of this week, right, the hesitancy

237
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: off the final shot against the Magic. He has a

238
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: big night last night, but they don't win. I gotta

239
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: say I gotta say this, Either the Luka Doncics trade

240
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: by the Mavericks is the worst trade in the history

241
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: of the NBA. And it's good that Nico got fired,

242
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: and I feel bad for the Mavericks fans, and Mavericks

243
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: fans are still crying, and it's the greatest thing for

244
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: the Lakers and it restarted their team. It's either the

245
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: Luca trade is the worst trade in the world, oh,

246
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: or Luca's never gonna lead the Lakers to a championship.

247
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: The Lakers stink. They need to get out from Luca

248
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: and Lebron. They're seeing problems with Luca. There's problems with

249
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: Luca and Lebron. You can see it on the floor,

250
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: one or the other. Either the trade is the worst

251
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: trade ever and the Lakers are great and we feel

252
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: bad for the Mavericks, or Luca's never gonna lead the

253
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: Lakers anyway. But it can't be both. It can't be

254
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: the worst trade and it can't be Lucas suddenly is

255
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: terrible in stinks, especially coming off a triple double night.

256
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: But I will say, say whatever you want, but you

257
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: gotta pick you got it. It's one of the It

258
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: can't be both, right, we can't. We can't see it

259
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 1: say what a bad trade, but Luca's never gonna win. No, no, no, no.

260
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: I can't have it both ways. You gotta pick a lane. There.

261
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: I like that.

262
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I'm kind of in the hybrid mode because you

263
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 3: could still say it's a terrible trade. Again, we argued

264
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: it at the time is if you got those players healthy,

265
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: knowing their health risks and issues, and you didn't like Luca,

266
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: didn't want to give them four hundred million dollars or

267
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 3: whatever that tag was, like, all of that could be true.

268
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: Unfortunately all those guys got hurt. It becomes a terrible trade.

269
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 3: They were mad because well they all liked Luca. They

270
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 3: still got their their Cooper flag replacement, and they still stink.

271
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: They're down like thirty as you and I start speaking

272
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 3: here on a Friday night. But the Lucal side is

273
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: just kind of funny. It's like he didn't suddenly stop

274
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 3: playing defense. That's that's been part of the equation all along.

275
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 3: Lebron didn't suddenly find the fountain of youth. He might

276
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: have been trying for it like Jack Sparrow, but hadn't

277
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 3: found it yet. And he's slowing down, and all the

278
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 3: metrics show you Austin Reeves you wanted to make him

279
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: Pippin After a couple of games.

280
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: He's good.

281
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: He's good, but you know still he's a work in progress,

282
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: a nice find, right, undrafted all that stuff. But the

283
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 3: reality is you got a team that's got a lot

284
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 3: of problems. But to blay it all at the feet

285
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: of Luca's been kind of funny and something we've been

286
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: chronicling the last couple of weeks. Are there times where

287
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 3: he makes the big mistake or decision that makes you go, wait,

288
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: what did he just do?

289
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: Right?

290
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 3: Passing up the shot the other night DeAndre Ayton, who's

291
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: generally been how can we say it terrible?

292
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: But he did have a nice two man screen there

293
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: and then he didn't move saying Luca, why did you

294
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: shoot the ball? When I held these two guys off,

295
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: and then Lebron throwing them under the bus. All the

296
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: video of them walking out to the court and not

297
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: even looking at each other like most guys are kind

298
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: of joking with each other and having fun. Nope, either

299
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: you say they're really locked in or they hate each other,

300
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: depending on what slant you want to take for your article.

301
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 2: Or not take nonsense.

302
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 3: So all of that to say, yeah, this year was

303
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: not It talked about it all along that it was

304
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 3: gonna be whatever the reset is once Lebron's fifty three

305
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: million dollars that he opted into goes away. But does

306
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: it mean that you didn't have a lot of in

307
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: town honks and siccophants looking at it, going.

308
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 2: They're the third seed, Look how great they are.

309
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a bunch of bum slayers and they actually

310
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: losed anybody good but let's ignore that.

311
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: We gotta fad the feel good.

312
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 3: So as soon as the sky started falling and people

313
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: could dance on JJ Reddick's head, they did, and they've

314
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: lined up repeatedly thereafter.

315
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: But still pick alane. Yeah, what are you leaning to?

316
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: Are you? Is it a great trade or is it overrated?

317
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Where are you at?

318
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: They did a great job, they made a lot of money,

319
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: and their reset for twenty six twenty seven. In the interim,

320
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: there's some anxious and horrible moments, and Laker fans, given

321
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: that outside of the bubble title have been sold a

322
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: bill of goods about how great things are going to

323
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 3: be in the eight years of Lebron James, I could

324
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: see where the frustration just seeps in once again and

325
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 3: they lean into the negativity. Jerry's out for me. I

326
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: gotta see it next year. Who shows up? Which of

327
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 3: those future Lakers that the guys here in our offices,

328
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: whether it's Frostburg or Gara. Whenever they send us all

329
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: the photoshops stars in Laker uniforms, which of them actually

330
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: show up to be Luca's right hand man? And will

331
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: he ever look like GQ Luca again?

332
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: So? Yeah, so now now I see, I gotta lump

333
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: you and you're a part of the problem. Now you're

334
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: part of the problem. Well, I mean, the show is today,

335
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna tell me, if you're telling me today,

336
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: I've got to put my flag down and decide whether

337
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: it's terrible or that the Lakers are a mess.

338
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: Oh, the Lakers are a mess because it's better radio today.

339
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: Sure, but but I can't say it. Well, I got

340
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 3: to see it next year. I mean that that's really

341
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: the answer to all of this, because we knew it

342
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: was gonna be a ham handed kind of king right now.

343
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: So let's go back then. So then you think then

344
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: the Lakers, So you can't say they're any better or

345
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: any better off with Luca than they would be if

346
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: they were still try to make it work with Anthony

347
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Davis and Lebron.

348
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: Yes, really wow?

349
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 3: Well, I mean that also assumes Anthony Davis was playing

350
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: basketball and wasn't in operation.

351
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: This is where he is, but that's where he is.

352
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: He's not playing. But if but he got traded, well, yes,

353
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 1: the you know, but I'm saying, like if he'd been

354
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: there with all their trainers and wizards and he'd actually

355
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: wanted to play basketball.

356
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: Uh and wasn't shipped down under cover of night. How

357
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: much worse would they be? Oh see, I say, you're

358
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: you're part of the problem. You're part of the problem.

359
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: I I got it. We gotta talk.

360
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 2: Are you telling me they're great?

361
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: The Phoenix Suns are catching them from behind, They're chasing

362
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: it down, They're going Lakers playing. The Lakers are much

363
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: better off for now in the future with none, but

364
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: they were without making that trade. But that's the boy.

365
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 3: But it's for the future as it stands. Right now,

366
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: it's still a mess.

367
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: They're better off right now. They're better off right now

368
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: with Luca and making the trade than they would be

369
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: if they had not made the trade and try to

370
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: make it work with Anthony Davis because we saw where

371
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: it's stillware wasn't going anywhere, wasn't going anywhere.

372
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: They're not going anywhere now.

373
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: But they're better off now with the Would you would

374
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: you rather the Bulls have Lebron and Anthony Davis or

375
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Luka Doncic Now none of them are showed up, but

376
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: you would rite Okay, it's not, but it's just say

377
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: a magical war where I could wave a.

378
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 2: Magic Obviously I want Luca Dodges.

379
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: But the point is it's set up for the future

380
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: and where they stand right now, they're still sputtering, right

381
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: but you have the guy Now. I can't sit there

382
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 1: and say, well, but they would be better if they

383
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: add Giannis next year. We don't know if that's gonna happen, But.

384
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: That's my point. The way you posed it though, is

385
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: are they better off right now? Like, no, they suck

386
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 3: right now.

387
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they're better off with Luca on the

388
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 1: team than they are with Luca not on the team.

389
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: Well, it's it's a new number to sell in terms

390
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 2: of Jerseys merchandising and marketing.

402
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: in sports and politics that everyone will love and no

403
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: one's going to be mad.

404
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,440

405
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 3: how together.

406
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,320

407
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: you saw it. I'm sure you did, because this is

408
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: something that you couldn't miss it. The beef going on

409
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: now between ESPN's Linda Khne and former ESPN MSNBC UH

412
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, until he got we're not friends anymore, just really weird.

413
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: I could tell the story later, but I worked with

414
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: both of them for a long time in the nineties. Right,

415
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: we get to trust me and get to why this

416
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,439
Speaker 1: is gonna be a lot of positivity for everyone. A

417
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: big media beef between the two of them, coming off

418
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: of Surprise Surprise the United States men's Olympic hockey team

419
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: and the situation with President Trump and the White House

420
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: and going and the joke about the women and hanging

421
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: out with Trump. There was an article in the Toronto

422
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: Star that was said that was written about Austin Matthews,

423
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: captain of the Maple leafs that jabbed him over Matthews

424
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: choosing President Trump over Canada. Right now, Matthews is United

425
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: States player, he plays in Toronto, but buddying up to

426
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: Trump obviously the political element going out the United States

427
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: and Canada annexing Canada. Fifty first state Toronto Star, big

428
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: op edit boy. He chose the United States and President

429
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: Trump over where he plays high hockey, his teammates. He

430
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: could have come back to play earlier, didn't have to

431
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: take the night off to go celebrate in Miami. So big,

432
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, anti Austin Matthews up in well, Linda Cone

433
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: weighs in. Linda Cone, huge hockey fan, uh weighs in

434
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: on social media and is very upset with how Austin

435
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: Matthews is being treated. Says if this is value to

436
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: be treated, he should go somewhere where he is respected,

437
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: and like, obviously the big political blow up from there comes, Oh,

438
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: Linda Cohne, you're pro Trump, you're anti you, whatever it is.

439
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 1: And then Keith Oberman, who was very anti President Trump,

440
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: weighed in and ripped Linda Cohne, saying that everyone that

441
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: everybody knows now that you are a self obsessed politically

442
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: motivated clown. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

443
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 2: He was looking in the mirror.

444
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 1: He said that or what, Yeah, I mean this is

445
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: a well I said that was what Linda Cone said

446
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: about about Keith Oden. Oberman said that he started jabbing

447
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: at her when he said that your I hate to

448
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: break it to you, but you're self obsessed, politically motivated

449
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: cloud with thinks her leanings are sacrisanct and everyone else's

450
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: must be suppressed. Right, We've indulged you all these years.

451
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: That now ends. Okay, So then Linda Cone collaps back

452
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 1: and says the whole dip about the whole bit about

453
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: being you know, politically motivated in all of this, and says, hey,

454
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: you've been irrelevant since you left sports media and decided

455
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: to share your uninvited, warped world views with the rest

456
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: of us. I hope you get the help you need.

457
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: Keith then responded with a simple lol. Okay, So now

458
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: he're Linda Coniki who did countless shows together, yet that

459
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: I worked on former colleagues. Now that here they are

460
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: on opposite sides and they're completely ripping each other in

461
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: the media through this and on social media. Now we wait,

462
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: you say, Jason Waite, How do you turn this into

463
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: something everybody's gonna love? This actually is a two part thing.

464
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this the other day. Rich Eisen,

Speaker 1: Big picture showing all the SportsCenter anchors from the nineties

470
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: the other day, and I got a lot of attention

471
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: because you know, look, Dan and Keith are on there,

472
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: and so his eyes in and so is Stu Scott

473
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: and Craig Kilbourne and Bob Stevens and Chris mckendrey, and

474
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: you know that golden age of Sports Center right with

475
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: which I worked on in the nineties, And now you

476
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 1: get this with with Keith and Linda. And I started

477
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: thinking today I'm going, you know, everybody wants to know

478
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,959
Speaker 1: what the new Last Dance is. The new Last Dance

479
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: would be a two hour doc on the nineties Sports

480
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 1: Center because everybody, no matter how old you are, everybody's

481
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: got some vision, memory, or opinion or image of what

482
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: the nineties Sports Center was like. Because in the nineties,

483
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: when ESPN really exploded and sports went from being a

484
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: the sports fan went from a long time underserved, very

485
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: important person in the media in society to now, hey,

486
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: we'll give you everything you want baseball, football, basketball, hockey,

487
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: Wall to wall Sports Center, every single life, everybody had cable.

488
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: Everybody saw Dan and Keith and Chris Berman with his nicknames.

489
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: The nineties was the golden age of sports television. We

490
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: saw this for the first time in the highlight shows

491
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: and everybody would tune in to see what Dan and

492
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 1: Keith would say every night on the show, and Berman

493
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: what new nicknames did he have on Baseball Tonight on Sunday.

494
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: And then you had the new guys coming up and

495
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: it was killborn in Eisen working on the two AM

496
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: shows with Steve Levy and Linda Cone and Gary Miller.

497
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: Everybody has an opinion of this golden age, right. NFL

498
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: Primetime was never bigger than it was in the nineties.

499
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: You give me a two hour documentary, but you do

500
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: it just like The Last Dance, where hey, it's set

501
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: in the nineties, right, and we're talking about stuff in

502
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: the nineties, but we also deal with stuff that's happening now. Right.

503
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: That's you get Linda and Keith talking about what's going

504
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: on between them, right Chris Berman getting you know, shut

505
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: it aside, working at ESPN and all these different things

506
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: like you said it in the nineties and today, and

507
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe Dan Patrick's the guy with the

508
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: iPad going well when he said that, I took that personally.

509
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: However you want to do it if you said it then,

510
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: because now you know Dan obviously had a history leaving

511
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: ESPN and where he is there. You said it in

512
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: the nineties, where hey, you get a look of what

513
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: it was like behind the scenes in the nineties, but

514
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: also where everybody sits now and what the time since

515
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: the nineties was and how people feel about ESPN and

516
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: their time there and other colleagues they worked with. You

517
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: want the new Last Dance, This is the new Last Dance.

518
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: Just got to give me a producer credit and interview

519
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: me because I have all the stories. So this, this

520
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: would be the new Last Dance because it's the time

521
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: is right for something like this right now? To what's

522
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: that next great documentary? Hey, the nineties sport you call

523
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: it the Big Show, whatever you wanted to call it,

524
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: ninety Sports Center, talk to everybody. You would get some

525
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: stuff being said you would get stories. Forget about that

526
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: book they wrote about ESPN, which I can't believe they

527
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: didn't call me. I mean, come on, how did you

528
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: miss me?

529
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: Well, that's all the way back in twenty eleven. I

530
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: was going to bring that up. Those guys have all

531
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 3: called it fun.

532
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: I still should have called me, you know, I mean really,

533
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 1: I don't know how they didn't. I really don't know

534
00:24:58,800 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: if that story.

535
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 3: That still curious how our sports landscape evolved considering some

536
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 3: of the stuff that got dropped in that book. But yeah,

537
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 3: it's there's there's there's more than a couple people at

538
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 3: ESPN that are going, Man, if Jason Smith ever told

539
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 3: that story, I really I really hope he doesn't. I

540
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: really hope he doesn't. Now now I'm fifty five, so

541
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: now I don't give a cross.

542
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 1: Don't know, man, let's go what stories do you want?

543
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 2: I'll tell you man, that's.

544
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 3: Got far away from being the crazy old man who

545
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: sits at the dinner table with everybody, takes a sip

546
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 3: of whatever his favorite is at the table and just

547
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 3: starts chuckling. And they say, hey, well, uncle or grandpa

548
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: or pop up or whatever you're going, what are you

549
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: laughing about it's like, oh, it reminds me of the

550
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: time when I worked at this place and it all

551
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 3: starts to unfold, all of the names and all the

552
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 3: bodies getting zoomed, and there you have it. I'd love

553
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: to do, like if I knew how to really work

554
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 3: the power of AI. Go through the history of the

555
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: Dan Patrick Show, and it's various since the ESPN days,

556
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 3: since he went off on his own to see how

557
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: many breadcrumbs he's left in things he said because he

558
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 3: I mean, he's talked about in a bunch, but I

559
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 3: never never quite right hand on with some of it.

560
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: So it's like, all right, fill in the gaps for

561
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:17,359
Speaker 2: me here.

562
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: Let's let's play Jurassic Park here and fill in the

563
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 3: frog DNA gat't wait.

564
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean because look, because a lot of people are

565
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: in that point where look, now, I've done so much

566
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: in my career, I can tell you those stories. It

567
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: would because it wouldn't be great if it was just Hey,

568
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: here's a nostalgic look back at the night in the

569
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,439
Speaker 1: first era of cool, and here's Rich Eisen and Stu

570
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: Scott Like that's gonna be awesome, right, But you know, hey,

571
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: what about where it's at now. How do people think now?

572
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: How do people look now? What are people saying now?

573
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: I want to know the guy that's gonna talk, that's

574
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,679
Speaker 1: gonna sound like he's still living in the nineties, right,

575
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: Like when you see documentaries about the sixties and the

576
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: one guy who's like seventy is like, you know, the

577
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: long mustache and the wearing the tiedyed shirt and you're going, oh,

578
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: this guy's still in the sixties. Man, I'm talking for

579
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: the documentary like like that. I think there is such

580
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 1: an audience for that, and especially when now you have

581
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 1: the interesting subplots going on with what everybody has done

582
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: and where they're at since that has happened. Yeah, I

583
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: think you'd get gold. You would get absolute gold. And

584
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: maybe it's a multi night thing. It's not just a

585
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 1: two hour documentary. Maybe it's like a three night thing. Hey,

586
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: tonight we get to the beginning of NHL and NBA tonight,

587
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: you know, get whatever it is? Hey, Hey, how to

588
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: Linda Cone and Keith Oltman they sit down with each

589
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: other for the first time since they're online media. Fe'd

590
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: you just show them sitting down next to each other,

591
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: putting their microphones on you're like, oh, I gotta see this, man,

592
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: I gotta see this. I can't wait for this telling

593
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: you man that night that ninety sports. Just think about

594
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: how great that would be because you would get everybody

595
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: to talk, everybody would tell, you'd say what they'd want

596
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: to say, and it would be like the Last Dance.

597
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: And you see where the Last Dance has done great

598
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 1: stuff for guys like Scottie Pippen. People care what he says.

599
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 1: Now they're buying his bourbon. Isaiah Thomas was gone for

600
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: twenty years. People, Yeah, listen to Isaiah Thomas now. Oh,

601
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: it would be great for everybody. And there's nobody that

602
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: would have to talk about it, that would have to

603
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 1: worry about where they are. And if not, okay, we

604
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 1: don't need to use them. But you got plenty of

605
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: people that are gonna tell stories and tell things that

606
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 1: happen to tell you what went on from the beginning.

607
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 1: Not every story's got to be a tell all. Some

608
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: are going to be incredibly funny things that happen. They're

609
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 1: gonna be I can't believe that happened, but that I

610
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: think the time is right for that. And again, patent pending,

611
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: patent pending, I'm producer credit and a little bit of money,

612
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: like maybe two percent of the profits. That's all for

613
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: the idea. But I really there's certain things. I think

614
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: the time is right for time is.

615
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 3: Right before you go to your grave, the tales of

616
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 3: ESPN in the nineties. We can probably get this crowd sourced,

617
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 3: and I think there are a couple of professional athletes

748
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: day at the Combine. More quarterbacks making news today belonged

749
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 1: to Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson. Mendoza that I'd love

750
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: to have Tom Brady as a mentor. Guess what, You're

751
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 1: gonna get that chance because you're going number one.

752
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,720
Speaker 3: Well, there was that report he showed up at Elmo's

753
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 3: almost like he was doing a public appearance, and everybody

754
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 3: lost their minds, like, hey, look.

755
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: It's Fernando Mendoza.

756
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 3: It's like I was in there years ago and Tebow

757
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: walked outside and people were baking or he walked into

758
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: the restaurant and as he got there, people were banging

759
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 3: on the glass to get his attention, and everybody in

760
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: the room STU. You could hear a pin drops they were.

761
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 3: He healed a guy it met spring training by touching him.

762
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: He just touched me and he healed him. Come on, man,

763
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean I get that for Tebo. I've had a

764
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: chance to interview him a couple of times. I felt

765
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: like my.

766
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: Soul lifted instantly.

767
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: But the second quarterback who's likely going to be taken

768
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: in the draft is Alabama's Ty Simpson. And there's been

769
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: a lot of talking about him the last couple of days,

770
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: and some ESPN reports that maybe his tape looks better

771
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: than Fernando Mendoza mendo And today, Ty Simpson wanted everybody

772
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,960
Speaker 1: to know the one thing I'm out to prove is

773
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: that I can be a franchise quarterback.

774
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 5: Starts off right, I feel like I'm ready. You know

775
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 5: I'm a franchise quarterback. Alabama is you know, prepared you

776
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 5: most of the NFL. That Alabama locker room was as

777
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 5: close as a locker room in the NFL as.

778
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: You can get. All Right, that's sound. Here's the thing

779
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: with Ty Simpson. I have reached this point in my life, Mike,

780
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: where I hit peace when it comes to quarterbacks. Okay,

781
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get overly excited if my team drafts

782
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,479
Speaker 1: a guy or going too crazy over over a guy

783
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: coming in that I think is gonna be great. Conversely,

784
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: I'm also not gonna be overly mad if they draft

785
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback I don't like because maybe it'll work, maybe

786
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:21,239
Speaker 1: it won't. I've seen too much I've seen. I've seen

787
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 1: them draft Sam Darnold's gonna be great. Well, he was great,

788
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: but it was seven teams later he was great. Maybe

789
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: the guy gets drafted, he's great with the first team. Right,

790
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: I've hit that piece in my life where yeah, if

791
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: you know, if he comes, maybe if we draft him,

792
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good, But if not, I'm okayther And

793
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: ty Simpson's one of those guys where I could take

794
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 1: him or not take him. If if my team gets him,

795
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: I look at it and say, well, he had a

796
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: terrific first half of this year for Alabama, not so

797
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,279
Speaker 1: great second half. Now, maybe he was hurt, maybe he

798
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: was sick there he reports all the weight he lost

799
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,359
Speaker 1: in the last few weeks, but he still played, right,

800
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: he still played. When it comes to quarterbacks, he I'm

801
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: in my shrug. Maybe it works, maybe not. Phase Maybe

802
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: Tye Simpson turns out to be great, But it's not

803
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: like you've seen so much telling you that's absolutely going

804
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: to happen, you have to go get him. Maybe he

805
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: works out, maybe he doesn't. So no matter what, if

806
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: you're looking for that next quarterback to come off the

807
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: board and you're saying, oh, man, is ty Simpson worth

808
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: that worth that pick in the first round, Like I said,

809
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: I could, I could have him or not have him.

810
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I don't feel like he is.

811
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: He is someone that I have to go out and get,

812
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: but I don't have to avoid him. But I don't

813
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: really have that strong a feeling. And that's kind of

814
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: where I think most of the quarterbacks are in this

815
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: in this draft, is that you don't really have strong feelings.

816
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: You have to manufacture strong feelings because it's not that

817
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: great a class, not what it was a couple of

818
00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: years ago. It's not what it's gonna be next year

819
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: where people are gonna be foaming at the mouth for

820
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: some guys. Like now, it's like I think you have

821
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 1: to this is the right way to look at this

822
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: quarterback classes. Okay, maybe this guy will be good, maybe not.

823
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a risk, could work, but don't go

824
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: crazy thinking you got guy who's the answer. But also

825
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: don't go nuts thinking all we drafted a guy that's

826
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: never gonna work out, because this is not that draft

827
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 1: to go nuts for a quarterback at.

828
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's with Simpson.

829
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 3: We watched him twenty eight touchdowns, five interceptions, played well. Now,

830
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: the talk of injury and spec and whatever was going on, sickness,

831
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: and he still played. So you evaluate what's on the field,

832
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 3: you take it into account, no question about it.

833
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 2: Six two two oh eight is what he was listed at.

834
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 3: Hasn't played a lot, only five hundred twenty or thereabout

835
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: attempts during his collegiate run. Was patient and waited his

836
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 3: turn all of that. So, and we've talked about that

837
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: a lot with quarterbacks, right. What you want now is

838
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 3: someone battle tested, older kind of like we laugh of

839
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 3: where we're at and building the perfect beast for the

840
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: college basketball Championship tournament and eventually into the NBA. You

841
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: want guys that are battle tested. With Ty Simpson, certainly

842
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 3: in conference, he's had that, and he's made a bunch

843
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 3: of big throws, sixty four percent a completion rate and

844
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 3: the average was about seven and a half yards per attempt.

845
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: All great things. But to your point, I guess for him,

846
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 3: he becomes the guy that all right, someone must have

847
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 3: promised him or multiple teams that he'll be a first

848
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 3: round pick, otherwise he would have gone back to school.

849
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Boy, that's where that's where things get, you know

850
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. Like last year, I felt like last year,

851
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: guys like Quinn Ewers and Kyle mccorwin into the draft

852
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: thinking oh, I'm gonna be a first three day selection

853
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,880
Speaker 1: and instead they were sixth round selections or seventh round selection.

854
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,239
Speaker 1: So you can do that, but that's a dice. It's

855
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: a dangerous game to play. We'll go yeah, there's no question.

856
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: Really hard man, that's really difficult.

857
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 3: So we watched him, you know, with the roster they

858
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: had assembled, it was not exactly a classic Alabama.

859
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: I mean, they won a lot of games and.

860
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 3: It wasn't but it wasn't the pretty and ease that

861
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 3: we've watched them dominate for years.

862
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: So maybe that elevates him a little bit.

863
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,560
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swelling dome again, if

864
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: you could say I could take her leave quarterbacks in

865
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: this draft. Hey, you'll have a much better offseason and

866
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: lead up to the draft, I promise you. Coming up next,

867
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:07,920
Speaker 1: we get to a big story out of the NBA.

868
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 1: When did we tell you who the last three guys

869
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,600
Speaker 1: standing for the NBA MVP is gonna be. That's next,

870
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: Jason and Mike Fox
