1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Welcome back to more to It to show that text

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: a deep dive into the biggest stories in sports, entertainment,

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 1: and culture.

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 2: Start with headline news and then journey to.

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: Deeper conversations, always finding those life lessons that are presented

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: in every single story. I'm your host, Marcel Swally. That dude,

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm about to just your room. Remember that bone out.

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm about to go right into this stories. Boy, I

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: got some stuff to tell y'all because I had me

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: a great weekend. Hope y'all had an amazing weekend too.

11
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: But first, let's start off of what's up with that

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: do well? There's love in the air. Went to a wedding,

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: and not just a wedding, all right. I anticipated that

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: this wedding was gonna be a little bit different. The

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: bar was gonna be raised a little higher. I was like,

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: all right, it was my friend coach. He's really the

17
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: head coach. Now I'm the head coach on paper, but

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: he the head coach in terms of running the team. Now,

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Jesse Buss, who is one of the owners of the Lakers,

20
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: so it kind of makes sense that we coach in

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: basketball and you the head coach, or at least you

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: run it. I take the football team, you could have

23
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: the basketball team. One of those dynamics. Beyond that went

24
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: to his wedding. Congratulations Jesse and Sarah Bus. Yes, amazing wedding.

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Obviously people were there, you know who I'm talking about Lakers.

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: And owners and Jeanie Hay and all this stuff.

27
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: So all that, all that, but that wasn't what I

28
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 1: was really like kaboom about. I think the craziest thing

29
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: was the first thing was how informal it was. That

30
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: was really nice, like it was really nice in terms

31
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: of looks and aesthetics and wow, what is this? But

32
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: then they were like relaxed, like cats were just chilling

33
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: tennis shoes with the suits and then taking the suit off,

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: just hanging at the reception. Amazing. Craziest thing was they

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: had Leon Bridges perform, who I didn't know who he

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: was before he started, but I certainly found out after

37
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: that sucker that boy you're talking about some soul. He

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: was a beast. Little Wayne performed obviously, no the homie,

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: but in your back, little Wayne just throwing the concerts

40
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: and that's next level.

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Anderson Pack performed. I was like, we ain't for a wedding.

42
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: Or we hear the ticketmaster or something like that, right

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: rolling loud or something amazing. Carbone catered it all the

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: extras that you expected, but it was kind of crazy

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: to see so all that said, Man, it was just

46
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: another way to express their love. I'm just telling y'all

47
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: for that reason. It was crazy. It was next level.

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: And my voice is still affected a little bit because

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: I was in that zone. Whoa little Wayne played that

50
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: a million And when you hear a Millie in a

51
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: small room and the speakers are bigger than the room,

52
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: I was like, there was a speaker right here, and

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: I was just leaning on it, like, Wow, that's how

54
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: that thing goes. Other than that, I got something. I

55
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: gotta leak it to y'all. I was gonna leave with this,

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: but my team told me to wait, and you know,

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: I can't wait because why should I wait? Because we're

58
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: doing this together.

59

00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: somebody who ain't gonna say nothing at all. King of Transition.

117
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: Transition Bingos Joe.

118
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: Mixon declines to talk about his case, and now he

119
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: has shunned some of the media outlets.

120
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: Uh oh, Mars Shawn Lynch going wrong.

121
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 1: All right, we're about to talk through this, right, So

122
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: he declined to speak to reporters in his first practice

123
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: that he was found not guilty in the aggravated menacing case.

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: He then announced he will be boycotting questions from CIS

125
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: ooh wow, a couple of reporters. Specifically, he named names

126
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and outlets Sports Illustrated, Cincinnati Inquirer, Pro Football Network and

127
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: check this out ESPN. WHOA.

128
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: He went to the top sucker there said nope, quote, it's.

129
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: Not happening, citing behavior he deemed disrespectful. When asked to

130
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: elaborate on how things have been disrespectful, Mixing responded by saying,

131
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 1: you know how as he retreated into the team's training room.

132
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: He returned to one of the teams ping pong tables

133
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes later, and has not spoken to the

134
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 1: reporters during the teams get scheduled media access since the

135
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: end of twenty twenty two season.

136
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: That's it last time they heard from them, some of

137
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 2: them out less. Sucker was playing ping pong. That's it.

138
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: So he's had a few off the field issues.

139
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Whether he's guilty or not guilty, his name has been

140
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: splattered all across headlines. We saw it. April, he was

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: charged with misdemeanor aggravated menicin after police claimed he had

142
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 1: pointed a gun at a woman and said he would

143
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: shoot her okay. Last week, Hamilton County Municipal Court ruled

144
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: that he was not guilty, saying that they failed to

145
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: prove the case beyond the reasonable doubt. Also, the lawsuit

146
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: after the teenager who was his next door neighbor before

147
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: was shot in the foot while playing with NERF guns,

148
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: there was not a suspect he wasn't in the criminal investigation, but.

149
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: Still has that civil law suit.

150
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: Oh man, So what is going on here and what's

151
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna be made of this? There are benefits of talking

152
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: to the media, but are there benefits not talking to

153
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: the media? Is this conversation? Right? I think sometimes what

154
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: gets lost in media and then a player is that

155
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: you have to humanize media. Let's start there, because all

156
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: of media are just a bunch of individual people that

157
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: make up media, right, Like I'm media. So when you

158
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: say you ain't talking to the media, you're not talking

159
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: to ESPN, You're not talking to me dog, and you

160
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: know I'm like me, I'm different than that or that

161
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: ain't this and this ain't that. We go back, right,

162
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing about it. The benefit of

163
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: not talking to the media, because Marshan Lynch found his

164
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: way to an amazing spot in terms of his brand

165
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: and recognition by not talking to the media or giving

166
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: them as little as possible right mony here, So I

167
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: don't get fined that wasn't calculated. Though Marshan Lynch did

168
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: have these same beats. Remember he had this incident, gun

169
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: Isshoe had his incident and they were talking really bad

170
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: about him, especially when he was a Buffalo Bill and

171
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: I remember reading one article they were talking about his mom.

172
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: Don't give me the particulars because I forget somebody hooked

173
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: me up.

174
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: But I was like, damn, they going in on Marshaan Lynch.

175
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: I always had a deep respect for one's from California too.

176
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: He went to CAW where I wanted to go to school,

177
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: so I always kind of follow them, and I was like, damn,

178
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: he messing up over there in Buffalo, or at least

179
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: that's how they're portraying it. And you talk about a

180
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: one eighty and the one eighty really occurred by letting

181
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: his game speak louder than his words. So maybe Joe

182
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 1: Mixon is trying to calculate that same endgame, that same result. Okay,

183
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: all right, y'all get me twisted these situations. I'm innocent

184
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: till proven guilty so far, not proven guilty in these situations,

185
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: not even suspected as a criminal in one situation. But

186
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: y'all continue to blast my name. So I let my

187
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: game speak louder than my words. That's how you can

188
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: benefit from it, just like Barshawn Lynch. Now, how can

189
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: it hurt you? Oo? Wait, it can hurt you a

190
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: lot of ways because the media one has the microphone,

191
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: so they gonna get the last word, but dang, don't

192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: give them the first word as well. You give them

193
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: the first word, last word, tough for you to get

194
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: any words in. So that's the situation that had for him.

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I had an amazing relationship with the media to the

196
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: point where it was giving me another opportunity at making

197
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: a ton of money and having a huge platform and

198
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: a second career.

199
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 2: That all came.

200
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: I skipped the line of Hall of famers before me

201
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: just largely because I was cool with the media, and

202
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: you know how I was cool with the media. I

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: treated them all like individuals. Some of y'all love, some

204
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: of y'all like, some of y'all don't like. But I'm

205
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,719
Speaker 1: not gonna disrespect because that's doing exactly what I think

206
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: you're doing to me, simple as that. So I had

207
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: great relationships. I called somebody exactly who I thought they were, good, bad, ugly,

208
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: and it turned into something they parlayed into something. So

209
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: to each his own. We'll see what he is up to.

210
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if his game is gonna speak so loudly,

211
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: because you know, if you're.

212
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: A baller, no matter how.

213
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: You treat the media, they gotta find ways to talk

214
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: good about you.

215
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: But if you not a baller, if.

216
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 1: You leave it in the balance, if you lead it

217
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: up to them, oh and they don't like you.

218
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: Whooh, your ass is grass man.

219
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: So do you think that the media outlets have treated

220
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Mixing disrespectfully? Right? Y'all read the papers, y'all watch TV.

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: They talking about your boy out of pocket? And do

222
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: you think Mixing should boycott the media? Do you see

223
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,400

Speaker 2: No, no, Metro do don't touch it. I won't shoot

255
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 2: your what. I love when them DJs and the producers

259
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: ahead of you. It's a fact, and it's not even

260
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: like opinion because I'm all in to pickleball two years

261
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: and running immersed in the sport. The biggest challenge with

262
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: pickle ball is not making people play, not making people

263
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: have fun when they play. Is making those people watch

264
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: professional pickleball. It's a tough challenge. So let's talk through

265
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: this because I know it's a ton of pickleball players

266
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: out there.

267
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: And where you gonna watch it?

268
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: Here pickleball story, right, chill, Let's talk about it. Because

269
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: the fever sweeping the country, it caught me. Short story

270
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: how I got into pickleball. Me.

271
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, this goy when we bought our new home.

272
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: Was going to have tennis court, basketball all blah blah blah.

273
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: Deeper dive into the plans, started to realize that, ah,

274
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: the part of the backyard was perfect for tennis court,

275
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: part of it wasn't. Now you got choices to make

276
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: and the guy, the developer was like, well, you could

277
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: get a pickle ball court. Now. I looked at this

278
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: dude like what, I ain't never heard that word in

279
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: my life. He's going pick a ball court? And he said,

280
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: trust me, it's the fastest growing sport. People love it.

281
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.

282
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: Now I was like, I don't trust you that much, brother,

283
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: and let's's free. Oh he talked me through it. I

284
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: did a little Google search, you know me, I do

285
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: my homework, did my homework, realized look out of fun,

286
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: look out of good. Right, so I said, all right,

287
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 1: let's just roll the dice pound put a pickball court

288
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: in the backyard. That's when I first started playing WHOA,

289
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: Thank God, Thank God. Unintended consequences, right, everybody got a

290
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: plan and then God laughs that you're playing. I'm glad

291
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: that God laughed at that plan. And God hooked me

292
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: up with a pickleball court. It's amazing, right, So here

293
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: we go. Now the sport has incredible participation. It's more

294
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: than doubled in the past three years. I'm one of

295
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: those people as well, popping.

296
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: Up everywhere far and wide.

297
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: No lie, you go to a mall, you'll see some

298
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: of the stores abandoned and no line, some of the

299
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: stores converted in the pickleball courts. There's a place called

300
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: Pickle Mall that's growing up, popping up everywhere, brings TV.

301
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: We're invested in pickleball. It's everywhere so you can see it.

302
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: But there's one thing stopping it one big ad brick wall.

303
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: Guess what it is? Television? Right, So they took a

304
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 1: deep dive talking about all things pickleball. The New York

305
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: Times did and talk about the success and growth of

306
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: pickleball as a sport that people love to play recreationally,

307
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: but not many people want to watch. It's a socially

308
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: and athletically equitable sport.

309
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

310
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: An eight year old like MJ can play his great

311
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: grandma who's eighty years old, and they both can play

312
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: and pick it up fast. Can't do that in tennis,

313
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Hey don't know. In tennis, you better be playing with

314
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: somebody close to your skill level, whether that's good or bad.

315
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: If not, you're gonna be mad at yourself.

316
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: Balls all over there, balls all always.

317
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: In the net, Just no fund. You just can't go

318
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: back and forth. So tons of athletes, tons of celebrities

319
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: have invested real money in a professional pickaball teams and

320
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: leagues and the sports that crossroads to figure out how

321
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: they can monetize it and break through as an engaging

322
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: television product. That's where we are. So to this point,

323
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: Network's moderate success at best in terms of television pickleball,

324
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: But those who have leaned on celebrity athletes playing against

325
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: one another have had a little more support. John mcelroll,

326
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: who I just saw the event, the pump event I

327
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: told you guys about this weekend, he said he when

328
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: he did it, he was like, jo, I have to

329
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: do it because the hype around pickleball is so much

330
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: it makes him want to throw up. So he just

331
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: had to scratch that itch, and he did. Remember, they

332
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: had that professional tournament kind of a pro am of

333
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: celebrity levels with John McEnroe.

334
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: So a lot of the.

335
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Professional players, what's their names?

336
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: What's it's not like Snoop, what name?

337
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: Like?

338
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: Nobody know?

339
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: Nobody know the pros. I know a few of them personally,

340
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: but I can't lie. I only know him because I

341
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: got connected with him through the sport of pickleball, but

342
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: not from watching, not from being a fan, not from

343
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: fan fare. So that's where we are in terms of

344
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: pickleball on TV. And here's the real it's incredibly boring

345
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,159
Speaker 1: to watch. Boy, I keep it one hundred. I'll be

346
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: watching the Only reason I watch professional pickleballs a few

347
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: times I have it's for strategy. Literally, I'm like cause

348
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 1: I like to hit it. Hard, and I'm learning, like

349
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get them, you know, always hit the feet.

350
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: Then you watch the pros, they just dinking right into

351
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: the kitchen thinking waiting for you to hit one upot

352
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 1: smash it gum. I was, ah, that's how you play,

353
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: no wonder. I'm sorry, I'm doing just the opposite. So

354
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: that's what their issue is. Here's the quote, we don't

355
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: know whether pickleball is going to be a television event.

356
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: If it's not, there probably won't be a lot of

357
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 1: revenue attached to it. Now, that's the former president of

358
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: the television and media conglomerate Turner. Okay, I think if

359
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: you want to be big and pick a ball make

360
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 1: money on TV, maybe they head a Turner should be

361
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: somebody on your side. So far, he's sitting there like,

362
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sponsors want what reach and branding. Kind

363
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: of hard to get that when you don't have that viewership.

364
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 2: So pick a ball.

365
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: Proponents say the sport will eventually develop its own celebrity players, right,

366
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: and pickaball pessimists aren't so sure. So that's the tug

367
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: award right here. If you're on one side, like, no,

368
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,239
Speaker 1: give it time. It's really only like a three year

369
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: old sport in terms of this level of fanfare. But

370
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: it's been around for decades, right, It's just it hadn't

371
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: caught on so far, but now it's caught on.

372
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: Give it some time to mature.

373
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: But some other people out there, there's an economist who

374
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: says it doesn't.

375
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 2: Make for good televisions.

376
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: Just that simple, right, He pointed out, it's like ping pong,

377
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: and in ping pong, we love playing ping pong. Ping

378
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: Pong's in every single locker room in the professional ranks

379
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: I've ever been in, every single locker room has ping pong.

380
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: And now one of them, dudes ever go home and like, baby, babe,

381
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: give me the remote to watch this ping pong turnment. Right,

382
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: that's the point. So he's saying, it's like ping pong,

383
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: where people love to do it, people love to play it,

384
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: people love to talk about it, but not a lot

385
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: of people love to watch it. That's gonna be interesting

386
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: to see. And we know ping pong is huge overseas

387
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: many countries, millions and millions of people love to play it.

388
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: He said, I think that pickleball is going to confront

389
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: some of those same issues. All right, So now the

390
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: television audience. Let's talk about that before we get into it,

391
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: because it's hard to get the sponsorship deals without the

392
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: television audience. So the only big one that we've seen

393
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: of late. It's kind of like in the hospitality department, right,

394
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: you put it on TV. Great, great, great, But now

395
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: you try to break it up and try to make

396
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: it an experience and try to make an intimate experience

397
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: with celebrities, try to make it with professionals, and then

398
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you have brands buy into it

399
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: so that you have these nice private events and then

400
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: that can translate into a large television audience. I'm saying

401
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that is actually hurting some of

402
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: my investment in time and money.

403
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 2: I can't lie to y'all. I got a couple of

404
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: things brewing with pickleball.

405
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: Few things. First, one thing I have is pickleball social

406
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: That is me, my friends and family.

407
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: Family, They come over to my house.

408
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: We play pickleball literally and we just connect talk life

409
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: playing through pickaball. I love it.

410
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: Great programming, great for the foundation. I love it.

411
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: The second thing is we do community events. We have

412
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: that in roads now, so we're gonna be doing a

413
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: lot of community events starting in Los Angeles, but all

414
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: around the country playing pickleball, bringing people together, having community love.

415
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: That as well.

416
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: Then the next one is going to actually have a

417
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: program that's gonna be on television next fall at the latest,

418
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: probably next summer.

419
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: That's our goal.

420
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: And all that said, I'm still gonna keep it.

421
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: Real with y'all.

422
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 1: How do we solve this pickleball issue, which is I

423
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: want to watch it, not just play it. WNBA twenty

424
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,959
Speaker 1: five years later, still haven't solved that issue. Right. People

425
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: like playing basketball, women like playing basketball, women don't like

426
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: watching a w NBA. Answer that question, Maybe that will

427
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: give us some intel on what's gonna happen with pickaball.

428
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 2: Hopefully it doesn't have the same faith.

429
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why, though, there's an issue with

430
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: pickleball translating to television, just like the WNBA other great example.

431
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: For something to be amazing on television, especially in sports,

432
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: it has to check the box of being vicarious. That

433
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: means something that you gonna lift through and something you

434
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: can't do, but you're gonna lift through them and their

435
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: experience and how they do it. So simply, if I'm

436
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: an watch an athlete it has to be an athlete

437
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: that could do something I can't do, or it ain't

438
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: really an athlete.

439
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 2: Right.

440
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: If you can't bowl a three hundred, you bowler one twenty,

441
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: I'm not watching you for what for? I could go

442
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: bowler one twenty, but I can't bowler three hundred. I

443
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: have not yet my whole life of bowling. So let

444
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: me watch that for a while, right, And that's what happens.

445
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 1: So WNBA suffers why because you don't see dunks and

446
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: I can't dunk.

447
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 2: I used to be able to dunk, can't dunk. No more.

448
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: Watching you can't dunk make me feel like me? Why

449
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 2: am I watching you?

450
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: Then?

451
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: Right, hit a three pointer? I could hit a three pointer.

452
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: What else you do?

453
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: Underhand? Layup? I got that? So that's where the w

454
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: NBA suffers from. You can't live vicariously through it in

455
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: a greater experience.

456
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: Same thing with pickleball.

457
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: Right now, you know they're better than you, but you're

458
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: not seeing anything different than you can do. Right, I

459
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: can hit it, I can hit it. I could dink it.

460
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: I could dink it. I get in the kitchen, get

461
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: in the kitchen. I can slam, I can slam. Oh,

462
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: you're just doing it better. Are you doing it different? Ah?

463
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 2: They gotta solve that.

464
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean, your speeds are different, but are you doing

465
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: it different and better? When you watch tennis, they do

466
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: it different and better, the spins and you see it

467
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: all that too in pickleball, but it's not as glaring.

468
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: It's too close to me. I got to see a

469
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: wider gap between me and them. Right now, I'm talking

470
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: a lot of trash I ain't like because I'm about

471
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: to play in Danny Wirfol's tournament next month in Atlanta,

472
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: and there's some there's some pro there, and it's gonna

473
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: be my first time playing real pros, and I'm not

474
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: gonna like they ain't that much different and that much greater.

475
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 1: And then I'm gonna get out there and realize, oh shoot,

476
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I need to watch more pickball on TV because they

477
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: whooping my butt. But the point is there's something between

478
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: what I'm experiencing and what I'm seeing in the gaps

479
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: now wide enough. That's what they have to focus in on.

480
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: It's the vicarious factor.

481
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: It's why I.

482
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: Love gangster rap, why I love in Wa Because everything

483
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: they were saying, I was like, oh, I stopped short

484
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: I ain't going nowhere near that, but I'm listening. Right

485
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: they had my attention. Pickleball show me something that I

486
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: just can't do.

487
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: Oh, then you're gonna have me all in.

488
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: So do y'all like playing pickleball as much as me?

489
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: Enough that I bring up a topic on my show? Hardy?

490
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: I love pickleball?

491
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 2: Dogs? And then y'all think biggleball is.

492
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: Boring to watch?

493
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 2: Or do you think it's fun to watch? Beat it

494
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: up in the comments?

495
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: And can it be successful on television?

496
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Look forward to that day?

497
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: But right now, off to a slow start, real slow start.

498
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's change around. Let me know

499
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: what y'all think in these comments. Sitting in the locker room,

500
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 1: I forgot to talk about the locker room. You know,

501
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: I'll be in here so comfortable. I don't even tell

502
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: y'all where i'm at. I be where i'm at. I'm

503
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: in my locker room. Why is this set a locker room?

504
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: To remind you, guys, because this is how this show

505
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: is supposed to be. In spirit, we tell the truth

506
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: in the locker room. We clown everything, we laugh at

507
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: everything with levity, and we laugh at our pain, but

508
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: we learn and unlearning. Here. All things happen in the

509
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: locker room. Nothing ever gets away from us in this

510
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: locker room.

511
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: God, I love it in here.

512
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: And you know what else, since this is a locker room,

513
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: and since I run a fundation not just a foundation,

514
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: go to Project Transition dot org and.

515

Speaker 2: Donate to enter to win this.

516
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: Oh oh, and it's crazy because people be asking me

517
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: to sign other people's jerseys because you know, respect Kobe Bryant.

518
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: Obviously it's gonna be tough to do that, but you

519
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: got to know I will sign it if you want

520
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: me to. But respect Kobe Bryant the Great. But that

521
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: is a tough one. All right, we got this. I

522
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: don't know who played for the Pirates, but I know

523
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: at least baseball season still in so maybe go get

524
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: somebody from there who on the Pirates. Somebody in the

525
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: comments tell me the best player on the Pirates. I

526
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: shouldn't know that, but we don't come up baseball enough.

527
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: I know what this is though, damn it.

528
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: Gaston though he was a beast. I think that was

529
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 2: like the first star in.

530
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: The NFL that I recognized, Like, oh my god, Mark

531

537
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 2: Ever, Now, let's.

538
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: Talk about Apple. Who wants ESPN to come to me? Ah,

539
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: and let's talk business, right, So they may be a

540
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: force in live sports and they want ESPN to potentially

541
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: support that effort.

542
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: So let's talk about this.

543
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: There was a conversation by some really smart people that

544
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: were talking about the acquisition of potentially ESPN to call

545
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: it a no brainer for Apple to acquire ESPN from

546
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 1: the Walt Disney Company at a potential price of what

547
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars. That's a whole lot of money. And

548
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: then at the same time you're like, damn, Apple got

549
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: that plus so I was like, whoa for Apple?

550
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: Not too bad? Now we know Apple is moving into

551
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 2: live sports.

552
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: Just did that ten year, two and a half BIL

553
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: billion dollar deal with Major League Soccer, did that a

554
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: year ago, and that's been huge because why Lee and

555
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: m Messi is scoring a goal or to every single game,

556
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: and now everybody's starting to tune in to Major League

557
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: Soccer to see those highlights. Right. And they say that

558
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Apple and ESPN are the perfect fit because Apple is

559
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: looking to go after love sports content as the golden goose.

560
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: And I believe it's a matter of when not if

561
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: ESPN and Apple get together. That is Dan evesor Ives.

562
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 2: Who said Dad?

563
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: And that's the way Bush security analysts we know who

564
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: he is, just don't know how to say his name,

565
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: all right. So after if they did by, ESPN would

566
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:27,920
Speaker 1: get the rights to the NFL, NBA, WNBA, Major League Baseball, NHL, UFC,

567
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: PGA Tour, Tennis Grand Slams Formula one. I ain't done,

568
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: and college Football's Big twelve and I guess I'm saving

569
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: the best for last huh SEC conference games? Oh oh,

570
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: that wasn't the last one. And they could get the

571
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: first two Super Bowls twenty twenty six and twenty thirty seasons.

572
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: Huh for fifty billion. God, I wish I was rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, rich, wealthy, wealthy,

573
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: well worthing like that. That's a no braindon If I

574
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: was had an auction, and they were like, all right, we

575
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: got on the three. We got a big twelve, big twelve.

576
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: But yeah, okay, MLB in the NJAL we want to

577
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 1: go one million, one billion won a ufcu PGA to

578
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,639
Speaker 1: the twenty billion. And then they say w n b

579
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: A W like now, best off? Oh man, ain't nobody

580
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: watching that other than that? Everything in there sounds like

581
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: a good billing.

582
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: To the right there.

583
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: All right, so they got a market cap of two

584
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 1: point seven trillion dollars Apple does, and they could make

585
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: this deal pretty simple, pretty easily, right, and then you

586
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: get the sports properties that come with ESPN.

587
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: Amazing. Right, here's the quote that I love Apple has enough.

619
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: into the game last year. NFL just one more vertical, right,

620
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: and they get all the NFL, which is the king

621
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: of all sports in this country at least record number

622
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: of sign ups as soon as Amazon did that Thursday

623
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: Night Football.

624
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 2: Et cetera. Let's go back, Let's give you some more

625
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: history on this one. Fox Fox.

626
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Now we all think of Fox and football synonymous with

627
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: the NFC in particular.

628
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 2: Well, what was it like nineteen ninety four something around there.

629
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: CBS used to have the NFC, used to be synonymous

630
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: with football in that respect, NFC in particular.

631
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: And then they lost it to Fox when Ruper Murdock overpaid.

632
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: I think at the time he paid like one point

633
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: six billion in nineteen ninety.

634
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: Four for four years.

635
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: Just to get in the game. As they say in

636
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: this industry and this business in particularly, you gotta kick

637
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: down the door when it comes to media rights. You

638
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: can't just walk in turn the knob. You gotta kick

639
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: down the door.

640
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: So you would get the bump that Fox has gotten

641
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: over the years.

642
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 1: Of course, you see those dividends, and I mean they

643
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: got the Super Bowl as well at times in rotation,

644
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: and you get the same bump we see you already

645
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: that Apple's getting from LS Soccer. If you're getting a

646
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,239
Speaker 1: bump from million soccer where you think you're gonna get

647
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: a bump from if the NFL, NBA as well. So

648
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: that's why you should do it. Let's talk about why not,

649
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Like I don't know, Well, you gotta respect their economic

650
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 1: business model and you always got to feed the golden

651
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 1: goose that lays the golden eggs. And the golden goose

652
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: for Apple is we are a device manufacturing company first. Okay,

653
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: don't get twisted. These live sports are amazing, these media

654
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: rights are amazing. They all have to support what made

655
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: us amazing in the first place, a device manufacturing companies.

656
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: So all acquisitions have to support that in their primary

657
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: business model. The last big acquisition they made was Beats.

658
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: That was in twenty fourteen. They bought Beats for three

659
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: billion and something like that. Right, you can see where

660
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: Beats a device plugs into Apple a device manufacturing company. Okay,

661
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: but then you look at live sports, that's a different animal.

662
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: You can see the attraction, but you also can see

663
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: the disconnect to a degree. Are all of those things

664
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: gonna be connected to our devices and then put out

665
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: in platform? What does that look like? How we monetizing that, etc.

666
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: You can see the endgame, but it's gonna be a

667
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: little more configuring to do it, not a simple overlap, right, okay,

668
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: get it right there. So you look at all that

669
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,080
Speaker 1: and it's just like which course to take to me?

670
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: You buy?

671
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 1: You buy Espn, Nick and me spending somebody else money too, right,

672
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: But you either go slow and steady in buying mls

673
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: and then looking for another vertical to purchase. Is the

674
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: slow and steady approach, hey, smart business? Or kick down

675
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: that damn door. Be aggressive? Do what Fox did, Do

676
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: what Amazon looks like they're trying to do. Somewhere in

677
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: the middle, and get there. And you got the money

678
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: to do it. You also, more importantly, got the money

679
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: in case this doesn't work that your company's still successful.

680
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: This company still will thrive. So in this situation, if

681
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm Apple, if I'm Tim Cook, I'm in them couches,

682
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: pat my pockets, going right to ESPN. Let's talk, big dog,

683
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: let's talk with Carl, let's talk. Let's get this money going.

684
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: So I will buy it. But should Apple buy Espn?

685
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: And doesn't make sense for both sides? That's interesting, And

686
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: when this transaction save ESPN from being doomed.

687
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: It's weird.

688
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Mixed reports they say that now since they are gonna

689
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 1: put ESPN's profits, p and ls on public display for

690
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: us to watch and know that ESPN has been a

691
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: cash count. But then you read reports also lets say

692
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: that ESPN, well, Disney has been obviously suffering because of

693
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: the parks closing, pandemics, people are not going to the

694
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: attractions to the same rate, etc.

695
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 2: And then bleeding that into some of the ESPN conversations.

696
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: I think ESPN making that money it look like a

697
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: cash count of me a fat one at that.

698
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: But with this transaction, boosts are saved.

699
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,280
Speaker 1: ESPN are kind of hurt ESPN terms of now linking

700
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: up with Apple.

701
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't see how having that war chest, having that.

702
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: Nut every month, to have those resources at your disposal

703

00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,439

744
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: let's pok up some comments because that's what we do

745
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: on this show. And this is why everybody liking our show,

746
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: because we talked that reel over here. All right, Remember

747
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: that MVP prediction we had on Friday NFL, Well, somebody

748
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 1: wrote I would bet on Herbert to win it with

749
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator because but Jacksonville got such an

750
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: easy schedule. I can see them winning thirteen games, and

751
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,879
Speaker 1: Lawrence will be a shoe in to win for real

752
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: if they got one of the top records in the AFC.

753
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: And we know that Trevor Lawrence's gonna be the reason

754
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: they do that. Then, yeah, he gonna certainly get the nod.

755
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,919
Speaker 1: So you're saying Pat Mahoonmes will get the yokes treatment. Oh,

756
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: it won't be racial. I don't think there's a there's

757
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: a Kendrick Perkins of NFL coverage. Well maybe Ryan Clark

758
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: maybe or something.

759
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,279
Speaker 2: I don't know.

760
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: You can't do it on him. Patrick Mahomes is black.

761
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: So what you gonna do? I don't know how it

762
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: would work, but yeah, he gonna get the You winning

763
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: by the measurables, you're winning by the metrics, you win

764
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: in by all the stats.

765
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: No, we ain't gonna let you win.

766
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 1: It one of those, right, that may be the case.

767
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,840
Speaker 1: We'll not be a quarterback this year, all right? Was

768
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: it been? The last twenty one years, sixteen have been quarterbacks,

769
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: So there's been five that there weren't quarterbacks. Maybe this

770
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: is the sixth in twenty two years. Dayton athletes is tricky.

771
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: Let's see what they say here. I like this.

772
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: Getting honey where you make your money is almost always

773
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: a bad idea, But a lot of times it just

774
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: happens to proximity in the workplace, I've experienced it personally

775
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: and have had no problem with it. But it takes

776
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: two people to be truthful with each other and them

777
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: to shut the hell up and not go talking about it,

778
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: which we know that almost never happens, because when emotion

779
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: is coming to play.

780
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 2: People act stupid. Amen and a woman. I don't think

781
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: anything should be wrong with it.

782
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: Like if I have a company, y'all messing around as

783
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 1: long as y'all do y'all work do you, I don't

784
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: mind if you remote.

785
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 2: I don't care what your hours are. Here's your work list.

786
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: Stop telling me how hard it is, get it done

787
00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: and have fun if you want to with your next

788
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: door workmate now.

789
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 2: Cubaicol diagonal from you.

790
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: She find you fine, go ahead, just don't That's how

791
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: I run my company. I'm sure I'll be out of

792
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: business in two days, but I think that's okay. Reporters

793
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: Day Nathletes is completely unprofessional. It's a conflict of interest

794
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: and can give a journalist an unfair advantage. I don't

795
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: know about that unfair advantage. I used to be a

796
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: snitch when I played for the Chargers. Guess who I snitched?

797
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 1: And I told the most information in my whole career

798
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: to one guy, Jim Trotter. Let's just say Jim Trotter

799
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: and I didn't have any relationship other than me telling

800
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: him all our business. I tell him now, I used

801
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: to date people and women in the media that uh

802
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: covered us that didn't get no more information than Jim Trotter.

803
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 2: Like one thing is one thing.

804
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: We and you doing this, we and him doing that,

805
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: and that's all different things. So I don't get this

806
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: whole like I'm gonna tell somebody that I'm dating more.

807
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: I don't see that.

808
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: Uh oh uh oh oh.

809
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 2: I think there's an iddy bitty trying to sneak in here.

810
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: There's no unfair advantage to facts. There may be some

811
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: lack of ethics, thank you. Information is information no matter

812
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: how you get it, as long as the athlete isn't

813
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: part of your working relationship than it is.

814
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: Okay, you date who you are in.

815
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Close proximity with, reporters are around athletes, that it's bound

816
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,239
Speaker 1: to happen. Many people date who they work with. It's

817
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: just too normal, Okay, it's so easy, Like dog, I'm fine,

818
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: you fine, I got money, you got money. Here we

819
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: around each other. What we're gonna do we're gonna do this,

820
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: all right. It's simple now, it's trying to get g rated.

821
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: I got any beady over here begging you open this time.

822
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: Oh god, ladies and gentlemen, this is the one, always,

823
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: the first one in here, right, yeah, it's my lawbreaker

824
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,879
Speaker 1: right here. Yes, I will open this. But your brother

825
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: could have opened it upstairs too, right. Oh okay, that's

826
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: while you're here. You say hi, and body everybody? Oh

827
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 1: you now you sure? I love you? Okay, see your

828
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: sick close the door behind you. Hey, not bad. She

829
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: breaks the laws, but she knows what she wants. Y'all

830
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: you that? Oh my god? She breaks the house rules,

831
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: but it's for good reasons. Who doesn't want a snack?

832
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 2: All right?

833
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm back Shannon Sharp joining Stephen A. Smith at ESPN

834
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: A question mark too, because it's supposedly this ain't a

835
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: done deal yet. Shannon and Stephen A. Smith should be

836
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: fired together. But I want to see more of Shannon

837
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: than two days a week and maybe his podcast. He

838
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,360
Speaker 1: needs to be on TV every weekday, especially during the

839
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: NFL season. I know that's my thing, and I sound

840
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,439
Speaker 1: real out of pocket saying it, but I'm like dog,

841
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: I like on too much to just see two.

842
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 2: Days on simple.

843
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: I believe ESPN got something big for Shannon, something like

844
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:16,319
Speaker 1: what Peyton and Eli have. They just had to put

845
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: him somewhere fearing of losing him. Okay, that's a good play.

846
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: Start small, then make it bigger.

847
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

848
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: If that's the case, that's real. I really think Shannon's

849
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: going to transition into Stephen A. Smith's spot on first

850
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: take once he leaves. I don't Stephen A. Smith already

851
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: said he won't be doing this much longer. That's probably

852
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: the big picture play Shannon the ESPN have in mind.

853
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 2: Now that's dope. Like, all right, Stephen, they how long

854
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: you got? I don't know.

855
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: Don't rush me out, but it ain't long. Dog, all right,

856
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: I'll come do a little bit.

857
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 2: Then when you ready, I'll do a lot bit. All right.

858
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 2: That's interesting. Here we go.

859
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: It is a demotion. Shannon is a full time host

860
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: and deserves his own show. That's what I thought from Hello,

861
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: which made me go into my not conspiracy theory, but

862
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:59,680
Speaker 1: my HD right, you know what I'm saying, my hypothetical detective.

863
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe Shannon and Fox had a different

864
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: arrangement about his departure.

865
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 2: Remember that, don't believe me, don't know what I'm talking about.

866
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: Go back to last episode and check out that segment

867
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: on Shannon Shark. Uh. This is a bit of an

868
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: odd pairing. Can't wait to see them together. Their antics

869
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: and facial expressions alone will make that must watch TV. Yeah,

870
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 1: for real. When I'm working out on mute because I

871
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: like to listen to music, you know, old school usually,

872
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: and then watch like sports media, catch the highlights, the

873
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: bottom ticker, See what they're saying, See what they're saying,

874
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 1: not hear what they're saying, See what they're saying. You

875
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: imagine seeing Shannon and skip skip step. See, I'm gonna

876
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: do what Shanny gonna do. Shannon gonna slip up a

877
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: call Steve when they skip a thousand times, but I'm

878
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: gonna be watching him go at it. That's gonna be

879
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: some good theater, all right, chall y'all know what we

880
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: do every show to finish it?

881
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: We finish a win. A wily is them?

882
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could never be a singer. How the hell

883
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: they do that?

884
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: Every day?

885
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: We all want to win. After the game, Ah, I

886
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: had to go a little bit of freaking freaking let

887
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: me just say this for real, because I was talking

888
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: to my son the other day about commitment and I

889
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: may have told you, guys, this story may be not

890
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: but I was.

891
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: Telling him about commitment. Commitment is not just work.

892
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Hard and stick the course, you know, stay strong and

893
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: stay on track. It also means, hey, hey, brother, that

894
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: turns into something you stay dedicated to, something you're talented

895
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: in and good at.

896
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: It turns into something great. And guess what commitment becomes you.

897
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: For my son, I told him, it becomes you go

898
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: to Babylad tournaments that he loves, and they pay you

899
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: to sit in the front row and be on stage

900
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: and announce Bayblad tournaments. I was like, commitment is more

901
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: than just doing the hard things and then being a

902
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: part of it. It's the benefits that come from it. Right,

903
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: So being a committed athlete as I was once some

904
00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: point in time, okay, with tremendous benefits and perks after

905
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: the game. It starts here.

906
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: People hold you in a higher esteem, they really do.

907
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,320
Speaker 1: They disrespect you more, people look at you and single

908
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: you out in the crowd, and the crowd of people

909
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: who want to.

910
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: Be singled out.

911
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 1: We all want to be seen and known and heard,

912
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: maybe not famous, but just hey, my shoes are fresh.

913
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 2: Hey, oh that's Marcellus, whatever it may be.

914
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,719
Speaker 1: You get that right, and then it turns into other

915
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: stuff money, opportunities, checks, engagements, events, signings, autographs, but also

916
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 1: the way we all got here. Naturally beautiful women say

917
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 1: hello to you before you can. You can't even get

918
