<v Speaker 1>dan 's Dan Patrick Show come on in stay a while.

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll review some of the big movies this summer. Coming

0:00:14.280 --> 0:00:17.200
<v Speaker 1>up with one of the great movie critics in America

0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>with the Chicago Suntimes Richard Roper, will join us. Poll

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 1>question from Our one Seaton the results Our one Dan,

0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>we had who plays more games for the Nets this season?

0:00:28.800 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie Irving Ben Simmons. It's very close. Have Kyrie okay, right, Okay.

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Ben's gonna play. He'll be healthy, at least physically.

0:00:40.479 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what he's doing mentally, and I don't

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>know what role Kyrie kde help him with that. Steve

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 1>Nash's role with that is is something that's beyond their

0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>means to be able to help him with that. But

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 1>I think if if, and that's the it's capital letters.

0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>If everybody is involved in this, Kyrie's all in, Kadi's

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.839
<v Speaker 1>all in, You got Seth Curry is on the team,

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>then you put in Ben Simmons. If everybody is on

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:16.200
<v Speaker 1>the same page, same goal, same motivation, then they look

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>like they're going to be the team to beat, certainly

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.920
<v Speaker 1>in the East, just based off talent, but we know

0:01:21.959 --> 0:01:23.680
<v Speaker 1>that you can have a lot of talent doesn't mean

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>you're going to win the championship because a lot of

0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>things happen along the way, certainly when Kyrie is involved.

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.680
<v Speaker 1>That Kyrie decided he was going to stay. And that's

0:01:32.720 --> 0:01:35.319
<v Speaker 1>why I don't understand the quote, because he says normal

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>people keep the world going, but those who dare to

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>be different lead us into tomorrow. I made my decision

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to opt in see you win the Fall. So he

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't dare to be different, he stayed. Dare to be

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>different would have been, Hey, I'm leaving, I'm gonna go

0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 1>play for the Lakers. I'm gonna play for six million dollars.

0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I dare to be different. So his quote doesn't match

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>up with his actions. Normal people the world going, but

0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>those who dare to be different lead us into tomorrow.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I made my decision to opt in see you in

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>the Fall. Yes, barv, that sounds like a Walt Disney quote. Really, like, oh,

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.119
<v Speaker 1>what did he say? I don't even know what he said.

0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>He just said a bunch of words, and I was like,

0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what, that sounds inspirational Kyrie. So you think

0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Walt Disney would be your inspirational author. Okay for Kyrie? Okay,

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:32.600
<v Speaker 1>like a fantasy world there. Okay, Now, normal people keep

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the world going. But those who dare to be differently, well,

0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Walt Disney did do something different. Hire didn't do anything different.

0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Now during the year, he did something different when he

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>decided he wasn't get vaccinated and decided to forego whatever.

0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Sixteen seventeen million dollars. Now that's different. That's daring to

0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>be different, but opting in he didn't dare to be different,

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>still get getting paid. And the question is at what

0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.239
<v Speaker 1>point do you say this is going to work or

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>at what point do you say this isn't going to work?

0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 1>And then is Kyrie traded as you get close to

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the All Star Game? Yes, Seaton. I wonder too that

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Kyrie's tried to start over a couple of times and

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:15.959
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't gone. Well, no, it has not, so maybe

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>that's in the back of his mind too. Well, you

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>can start over, but this time start over and realize

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that you're not the Alpha. Because he wanted to Cleveland,

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>it was his team. Then Lebron came in. They went

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a title and then he didn't want to be second fiddle.

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.359
<v Speaker 1>He didn't want to be you know, Robin to Batman,

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Here goes to Boston, this is my team, and then

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 1>realized that he wasn't ready for that either. Then you

0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 1>go to the Nets my team. I need some help here, Katie,

0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>come on in, if you go. If he would have

0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 1>gone to the Lakers, it wouldn't have been his team,

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>and it might have benefited him greatly as a player,

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>having Lebron and Anthony Davis there. The tricky part is

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Russell Westbrook would have been there. John Wall going to

0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers. I like it as long as you didn't

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>have to give up a lot. You don't have to

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>spend a lot. But I need to know where I

0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>think he's thirty two. I just need to know where

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he is in his basketball mind. Do you understand that

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>you're not in Washington and you're not in Houston. You

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 1>don't have to put up big numbers. You're not the leader.

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:24.600
<v Speaker 1>The goal is to win. I also mentioned this just

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>because a person I trust who works in the front

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>office said, keep an eye on DeAndre Ayton, because that's

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.560
<v Speaker 1>that's the interesting part here of the role that he

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>could play I thought, maybe he's gonna end up with

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.679
<v Speaker 1>the Pistons. Maybe maybe he could end up with the Nets.

0:04:39.920 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 1>At least I was certainly given a heads up. And

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>this person said, keep an eye on the Vegas odds.

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 1>Do you have you seen Vegas odds on DeAndre Ayton's

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.640
<v Speaker 1>next team? And I know we might look at DeAndre

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>Ayton going he's not a great player. Well, he's in

0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Good I mean, he's a twenty ten guy, athletic,

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.359
<v Speaker 1>big guy. You know, he can play on the perimeter

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:05.960
<v Speaker 1>a little bit here. But I think that would be

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting to keep an eye because Vegas usually has better

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>heads up than the insiders do. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, this

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:18.279
<v Speaker 1>is the latest from draft Kings sons of the favorites Pistons, Spurs, Pacers, Hawks,

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.719
<v Speaker 1>and it goes way down so the Nets aren't even

0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>in there. Nets are eighth in the rank. You okay, odds?

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 1>All right, feels like something's happening there, going to happen there.

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Keep an eye on that. Age seven seven three d

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>in Toronto joins us Hi Ray, what's on your mind today? Hey, guys,

0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:54.839
<v Speaker 1>have a going man, huge fan again, I got a

0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 1>question for you. Yeah. So, in regards to basketball free

0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>throw shooting, I've always won to hear why the players

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>that struggle shoot free throws? Why don't they use the

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.320
<v Speaker 1>backboard for assistance? Can The reason why I say this

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is because I made twelve shots from a free throw

0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Alliance UM in a row. But then when I don't

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.560
<v Speaker 1>try to go for the backboards, I make like one

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>of five. So to me, it's a lot easier using

0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the backboards. Now, I think it's even tougher because I mean,

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you have to have a direct hit. You know, you

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>got to hit it in the center if you can

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>do that. Plus it's embarrassing. As I've said before, you

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>could get Rick Berry, one of the greatest free throw

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>shooters of all time, who shot underheaded. And if I

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>could promise Ben Simmons, let's say, Ben, you're gonna make

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>eighty percent of your free throws, you got to shoot underhand,

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>probably wouldn't do it. Shaquille O'Neal shack underhand, you're gonna

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:54.719
<v Speaker 1>make eighty percent. Probably wouldn't do it. Don't want to

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:59.120
<v Speaker 1>be They'd rather miss and and shoot it their way

0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:04.040
<v Speaker 1>than make and look embarrassing or uh, you know, people

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>would laugh at them because they did the underhand thing.

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.920
<v Speaker 1>It's weird. I know, I'm gonna do it my way,

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>all right. Well I could help you here, but no,

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to bank it in would be even tougher. Plus,

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>if you can hit the backboard, the rectangular square, there

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 1>is that same thing, the rectangular square town we know

0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about. Yes, thank you, But if you hit

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the square, that's also a rectangle. It's a square, a

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>rectangle rectangles on the squares that the other way around.

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how about the square. You hit the square.

0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>If you can hit that, then you can just you

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>can make it straight on. You know, guys will shoot

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.680
<v Speaker 1>bang shots from the side and that helps them, you know,

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>a higher percentage. But a lot of guys don't want

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>to use the backboard either because it looks like old school. Yeah, Paul,

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading a story that having a few years ago

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.320
<v Speaker 1>that a physicist and like a medical expert looked at

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.720
<v Speaker 1>underhand free throw. I said, it's a more natural motion,

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>almost like a college pitcher for softball. Yeah, underhand is

0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.480
<v Speaker 1>more natural. It's less torque on the less motion. And

0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 1>so they said, shooting an overhand free throw, there's more movements.

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.800
<v Speaker 1>You're going up out and flicking your wrist. Underhand, you're

0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>just doing more of a rocking motion that is natural

0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to your shoulders and the way your arms hang. It

0:08:20.280 --> 0:08:23.040
<v Speaker 1>won't let you make mistakes. Yeah, so they said underhand

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.880
<v Speaker 1>will be way better. Well, this way you have right hand,

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>left hand on the side, and all you do is

0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>come down and then go up and then you keep

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>the hands up. That will give you an idea of

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 1>your form and follow through and you're at least going

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.880
<v Speaker 1>to be close to making shots. There are guys get

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>up there, they're not even close. And I think that

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that would be interesting a case study if you said,

0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>do some of these guys who shoot under fifty percent,

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.680
<v Speaker 1>let's just shoot underhand free throws and see what you

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.959
<v Speaker 1>come up with. Let let you know, Rick Berry spend

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>time with you and teach you how to do it.

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But I I'm good against a lot of these guys

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 1>would rather miss shooting their way than make with an underhand,

0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:07.719
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of times when you go to the

0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>free throw line, like when you're a basketball player, you're

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.160
<v Speaker 1>moving like there's action. You don't want to think, you know, golf,

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>we always talk about guys who get in their own head.

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Will they just sit there and think like I'm over

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:24.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball, nobody's guarding me. Then you go, oh my gosh,

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.760
<v Speaker 1>like you need movements. Sometimes basketball players it's always movement.

0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:29.680
<v Speaker 1>And then you go to the free throw line, nobody's

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.120
<v Speaker 1>moving and you're just standing there, and then all of

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a sudden they get in their mind and it happens.

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 1>It happens to some of the best players. Yeah, Paulie,

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>there are ten players in the NBA last year. There's

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>there's worse than this, but ten players who are good players,

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>decent players that shot under seventy percent. Guys like Andrew Wiggins,

0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Evan Mobley, Russell Westbrook, Rudy Gobert. There's there's some decent

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:58.679
<v Speaker 1>players who shoot under seventy percent. Yeah, that's inexcusable, certainly

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>for somebody who handles the ball. I mentioned DeAndre Ayton's

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.760
<v Speaker 1>next team. We got a hold of DraftKings. The Sons

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:10.600
<v Speaker 1>are the favorites. Second on the list, The Brooklyn Nets

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:17.680
<v Speaker 1>don't don't dune not saying but I'm saying, saying, just

0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>saying something's happening. Yes, done happening. Oh I'm gonna be

0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>annoying if I well more annoying. If the Nets all

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.120
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden get DeAndre Eton, Yes, could that become

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:44.720
<v Speaker 1>the Barclayton Center, DeAndre Ayton, Barkleyton, mab not t shirt.

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>What if he goes to the next and has like

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>it becomes like a star in the nets, thence the

0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.439
<v Speaker 1>Barkleyton because the barclay Center and his name is Eton,

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:59.200
<v Speaker 1>it would share that. You know what a yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 1>you haven't said anything for an hour. I guess not. Yeah.

0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>That's all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squared.

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Fascinating math note based on the whole rectangle square backboard thing. Okay,

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>where did you get this? I did not get that

0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 1>off the top of my head. There was a few

0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.360
<v Speaker 1>math sites. Oh it is okay, So all squares are rectangles,

0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 1>but not all rectangles are square. That's what a lot

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:27.839
<v Speaker 1>of mathematicians, that's how they look at that. We're getting

0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of high school age teachers tweeting at now

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>being like, guys, this isn't that difficult. It's not. Yeah,

0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe not to a high school matha. Yeah, it is

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>to me that Pythagoran theorem. I'm still trying to figure

0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that damn thing out. Yes, I'm gonna gladly stay in

0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>my lane during this conversation. I barely know what a

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>rectangle is. Yeah, so I was correct in saying this

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.719
<v Speaker 1>square is a rectangle. I just didn't know that a

0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:03.360
<v Speaker 1>rectangle wasn't square. Now you know it's not all rectangle

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 1>rectangle plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles,

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.720
<v Speaker 1>especially one with an equal adjacent sides. Uh, in contrast

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>to a square. Huh. Okay Bob and ohio, Hi Bob,

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:23.480
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Than Dan? How are you good? Bob? Hey?

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.959
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm kind of little old school here. I'm

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of in your price range their age wise, and

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:33.240
<v Speaker 1>just not so much with the contract right now with Kyrie,

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>but just everything the last couple of years, just play

0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 1>or shut up and go away. It's got to be

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>a pain. But with their teammates and uh, everybody just

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.199
<v Speaker 1>tired of hearing about it. He's always got an issue

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>with everything. Just you're you're a good player, play or

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.480
<v Speaker 1>just shut up and go away. Well, he has the

0:12:52.559 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>right to say what he wants to say, and you know,

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I want him to play. That's a that's a great point.

0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Just play. It's like him. It's not that I want

0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.520
<v Speaker 1>him to shut up and go away. I want him

0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:07.120
<v Speaker 1>to play. Let your play speak for yourself. And then

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.560
<v Speaker 1>what happened in the last two games of the NBA Finals.

0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Didn't hear anything, it was you saw some things. That's

0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:18.240
<v Speaker 1>all I wanted. You know, Kyrie's just different. You know,

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not like I'm going to analyze this too long.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.559
<v Speaker 1>I've given up on that. He is who he is.

0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>He has his beliefs and we live in a society

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 1>that allows us to have those beliefs. You may not

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.920
<v Speaker 1>buy into it, but I don't want to say as

0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:39.760
<v Speaker 1>some you know, people have said, hey, Lebron, shut up

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 1>in dribbles. That's not fair and and this isn't political.

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying this about basketball. I want him to play.

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.800
<v Speaker 1>But Kyrie, you know, Kyrie's his own worst enemy. And

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>I think we're going to look back on this career

0:13:54.600 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and say, man, that guy was unbelievable. But he was

0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:05.280
<v Speaker 1>unbelievable occasionally, and that's going to be a career lost.

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Maybe something happens, maybe a light goes on. Had the

0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 1>light go on where he said, you know, I was

0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 1>immature when I was with Lebron. Okay, he did realize

0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that this guy could be loved. Like Steph Curry. We

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>could be looking at him going, oh, that's unbelievable. There

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.600
<v Speaker 1>are things that he does that there's no other nobody

0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:30.960
<v Speaker 1>else in the game who can do just not in traffic,

0:14:31.040 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>his dribble, his handle and I mean his abilities are

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 1>rarefied air. But I don't know how important that is

0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:42.400
<v Speaker 1>to him. He may say, look, I'm using this as

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.800
<v Speaker 1>a platform to something else. Maybe do I like it? No,

0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.120
<v Speaker 1>because I want to see greatness. I want to see

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>him play. But if he doesn't care, why do I care? Yeah, Paul.

0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Before the age of twenty four, Kyrie Irring had made

0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>four All Star teams. Steph Curry had made none. Yeah.

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>went to see the Elvis movie and then came back

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>and he was doing his Elvis impersonation. He was singing,

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:22.919
<v Speaker 1>he was dancing and now you're the biggest, You're the

0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>biggest Elvis fan fifty years after he died. I really yeah,

0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:28.480
<v Speaker 1>my kids stopped like stinging and trying to do impresentations

0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>of him. I'm really annoying my family a lot, and

0:17:30.960 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 1>us too, and you guys, yeah, seton. I feel like

0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.280
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing wrong going to see that movie. What Todd

0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>should be questioning is that he went to go see

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.880
<v Speaker 1>it with his daughter and her boyfriends. I did. It's

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a little tricky. The daughter and the boyfriend sat in

0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:45.640

0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>him back. What is the greatest aside from nineteen thirty nine?

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Greatest year modern day? Greatest year from movies is what

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>well ninety four? It was a great year with the

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.359
<v Speaker 1>pulp fiction and Forrest compan a lot of great films

0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.440
<v Speaker 1>with Dan the summer, just the summer of nineteen eighty two,

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>just in the summer et Poltergeist, The Thing, Fast Times

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 1>at Ridgemont High, Rocky three, Blade Runner, an officer, and

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.239
<v Speaker 1>a gentleman, all within a three month period. In the

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>summer of eighty two, I mentioned Tom Cruise is the

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:48.120
<v Speaker 1>last movie star. You agree, yes, especially when you think

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 1>about the longevity, because you want to talk about going

0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.480
<v Speaker 1>back nineteen eighty three was risky business. So he has

0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>been a top level global superstar for forty years. I

0:18:59.720 --> 0:19:01.520
<v Speaker 1>don't think anybody's ever going to do that again. It's

0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:03.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of like when we look at certain players in

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>baseball and the records they have that are never going

0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to be matched again, you know. So if somebody right

0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>now is a big star, Ryan Gosling or Scarlett Johansson,

0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:14.680
<v Speaker 1>they'd have to do it for thirty more years at

0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 1>that level. And he's got that combination of he's I

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:19.760
<v Speaker 1>think he's an underrated actor, you know, and you look

0:19:19.760 --> 0:19:22.000
<v Speaker 1>at things like Magnolia and Born on the fourth of July.

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, Oscar nominated performances, but he also knows how

0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to sell the movies. He knows how to do it internationally,

0:19:28.240 --> 0:19:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and he knows how to carry a movie, you know,

0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 1>so he probably is really the last major movie star.

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>It's like Tom Brady or Lebron James to have that

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:41.240
<v Speaker 1>longevity to play at a high level for that amount

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:45.560
<v Speaker 1>of time, and he is indefatiguable. I mean his energy

0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>in selling a movie and I mentioned this yesterday. He's

0:19:50.280 --> 0:19:54.040
<v Speaker 1>single handedly getting people back to the theater, yeah, which

0:19:54.119 --> 0:19:57.399
<v Speaker 1>is amazing. Made billions of dollars. And you know if

0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 1>people go see Top Gun Maverick, they go to the

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:02.119
<v Speaker 1>multip Plex, they go, oh wow, you know this is

0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:05.120
<v Speaker 1>playing there as well. Elvis's plan there, maybe we'll come back.

0:20:05.160 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So it's just it's like getting people back to the ballpark,

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, after COVID. He is a huge attraction. Is

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Maverick a great movie or a good movie? It's a

0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:18.840
<v Speaker 1>good movie. You know, you go back and look at

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the first one. It's absolutely ludicrous. But it was you know,

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.440
<v Speaker 1>the thing about it was everybody got the show off

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>their brand new basement theater sound systems in the eighties

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:29.800
<v Speaker 1>that they'd always played the first ten minutes a Top

0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Gun and go look at this, you know, the rattling

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the walls in the basement. What they did the smart

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.280
<v Speaker 1>thing with Top Gun Maverick dan As they just basically

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.480
<v Speaker 1>did attribute to Top Gun. It's the same story, just

0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:44.880
<v Speaker 1>next generation great casting, bringing in Miles Teller to play

0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the son of Goose, the Anthony Edwards character, and then

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.479
<v Speaker 1>you know the kind of touching inclusion of Val Kilmer,

0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 1>who's you know, battling the same sort of illness that

0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 1>his character has in the movie. And Cruz. It is

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>amazing because again you believe that this guy really still

0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.400
<v Speaker 1>would would be trusted with a billion dollar jet, even

0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:05.040
<v Speaker 1>though he's at the age where he should be a

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>rear admiral and retired and smoking a cigar right well. Also,

0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:11.679
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know why did it take so long

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to get the sequel made? And was that a good

0:21:15.280 --> 0:21:17.720
<v Speaker 1>thing that it took this long? Yeah, I think it was.

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:19.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of cases, if you wait too long,

0:21:19.800 --> 0:21:22.879
<v Speaker 1>the interests has died up. But as we've talked about,

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 1>Cruz has remained a huge movie star. He was adamant

0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that this was going to be a theatrical release. There

0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 1>were multiple delays with pandemic and injuries on the set

0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and all that, and they waited till the right time

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.800
<v Speaker 1>to release it. As well, when just about everybody's ready

0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to go back to theaters, to the ballparks, to restaurants.

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:42.600
<v Speaker 1>So it was just the kind of the perfect storm

0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>for this to come out. Would you bet there will

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.479
<v Speaker 1>be a Top Gun three? I hope not, you know,

0:21:48.960 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, at some point, you know it's

0:21:52.800 --> 0:21:55.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna be Top Walker, you know, to kind of limps

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.200
<v Speaker 1>into there. We're gonna go, We're gonna go win the war.

0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I think and again, and I think, you know, CRUs

0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>is great about this. Dan with franchises. You look at

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Mission Impossible. That's one of the few movie franchises that

0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>has actually gotten better with every succeeding film. The first

0:22:10.840 --> 0:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>two were just okay, John Wood did I think the

0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:16.080
<v Speaker 1>second one. But they've become James Bond movies. They've become

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.720
<v Speaker 1>born movies. You know. It's it's it's got nothing to

0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>do anymore with the original Mission Impossible TV series that's gone,

0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that's in the past. He's just playing a character who

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.960
<v Speaker 1>has the same name as that character. I go back

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:32.160
<v Speaker 1>to nineteen eighty six, Ferris Bueller, Color Money, Aliens, Latoons,

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:36.320
<v Speaker 1>stand by Me, Top Gun, Hoosiers, rivers Edge, pretty good

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.760
<v Speaker 1>run there, that's a great run. And you know you

0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>talk about that that that list of films, the ones

0:22:41.400 --> 0:22:44.639
<v Speaker 1>from eighty two we're talking about. Some of them are

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>action films, but a lot of them are those the

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:48.120
<v Speaker 1>movies that I think you and I love the most,

0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:53.520
<v Speaker 1>which are character driven, story driven, incredible screenplays. And that's

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:56.480
<v Speaker 1>why those movies resonate forty years later, because it's it's

0:22:56.520 --> 0:22:59.119
<v Speaker 1>not about the time that they're in, it's about the

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:01.800
<v Speaker 1>characters in the city. People can still relate to Ferris Bueller,

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:04.560
<v Speaker 1>even though every movie he pulls right now would be

0:23:04.560 --> 0:23:07.120
<v Speaker 1>busted by cell phones. He'd never get away with any

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 1>of that stuff, but it doesn't matter. It's sort of

0:23:08.920 --> 0:23:12.439
<v Speaker 1>like Seinfeld, where it's the situation of the sitcom that

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:15.399
<v Speaker 1>we can relate to generations later. I wonder how this

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>has impacted acting that you know, before you were an actor,

0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:24.040
<v Speaker 1>not you know, something with prosthetics, or you were in

0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a Marvel movie or something. Cgi Is it fair to

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>look at actors now, can you compare them to a

0:23:32.160 --> 0:23:36.560
<v Speaker 1>previous generation. I mean, it feels like everything is a

0:23:36.600 --> 0:23:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Marvel movie, and I don't know if actors grow up

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.399
<v Speaker 1>to be I want to be in a Marvel movie

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to you know, these movies that I mentioned

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>that our character driven. Oh that's a great point. Dan.

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:51.240
<v Speaker 1>You look at like the upcoming Thor sequel, Love and Thunder,

0:23:51.280 --> 0:23:54.720
<v Speaker 1>which I keep thinking of like an Australian male stripper group.

0:23:54.760 --> 0:23:57.359
<v Speaker 1>When I hear Thor Love and Thunder, it's like down

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.119
<v Speaker 1>under Vegas. Yeah, yeah, down Under. But you know, the

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 1>co stars of that movie, along with Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman,

0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Christian Bale, Russell Crowe Academy Award winner, Academy Award winner,

0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Academy Award winner, and not to disparage the Marvel material,

0:24:10.119 --> 0:24:12.480
<v Speaker 1>but you know that deep in their hearts, those three

0:24:12.480 --> 0:24:15.480
<v Speaker 1>could be doing Shakespeare on stage somewhere, you know. So

0:24:15.600 --> 0:24:17.440
<v Speaker 1>do they do it for the paychecks and the popularity?

0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I think yeah. And it's a certain style of acting.

0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:21.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're with the green screen and you have

0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to kind of suspend your own disbelief. But I think

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.960
<v Speaker 1>that's why so many great actors now turn to streaming

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>series where they can get showcase roles that are about

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the writing and the character. Talking to Richard Roper, he's

0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:37.399
<v Speaker 1>a movie critic for Chicago's Sun Times. Your review of

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Elvis is what I thought. It was terrific and Fritz

0:24:41.800 --> 0:24:44.280
<v Speaker 1>should not be embarrassed about seeing that. Just just remember

0:24:44.320 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>this one thing in life. Nobody ever says, hey, do

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 1>your Elvis impersonation for me. Ever, nobody has ever said

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that in history. But what I loved first of all

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 1>this is bos lerman he did you know? He did

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 1>great cats by Romeo and Juliet mulan Rouge. You know

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.040
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna get with him, a lot of razzle dazzle.

0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Going back to the theme, you gotta see this in

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the big screen. What I loved about this first of

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:06.680
<v Speaker 1>all was this Austin Butler who's playing Elvis that they

0:25:06.680 --> 0:25:09.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't cast to Harry Styles or somebody who's super talented

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.480
<v Speaker 1>but super well known. Most people don't know Austin Butler.

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>He was great at Tex Watson in Once upon a

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 1>Time in Hollywood, small but pivotal role, but largely an unknown,

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.720
<v Speaker 1>so we could buy into him as Elvis Presley, and

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I think he does a terrific job. That's a great point.

0:25:23.440 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>And we've seen these biopics do well. You had ray

0:25:27.640 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>walk the line of Bohemian Rhapsody. I guess the Elton

0:25:32.800 --> 0:25:37.439
<v Speaker 1>John one didn't work, you know with a critical or

0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:41.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, as far as awards. Yeah, yeah, well because

0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>again it was sort of like, even though boslumerdn't directed,

0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:46.840
<v Speaker 1>it was a very stylized thing. But one of the

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>things I loved about the Elvis movie, Dan, was that

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the various periods of Elvis's career are kind of filmed

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:55.399
<v Speaker 1>in the style of the time. So there's a more

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>of a cepia grainy tone to the fifties stuff. When

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:00.439
<v Speaker 1>they talk about his movie career, it split screen and

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:03.359
<v Speaker 1>it's done in that kind of larger, eye popping colors

0:26:03.359 --> 0:26:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of the sixties, and then the comeback special all the

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>way through the Vegas stuff, so it has almost even

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.119
<v Speaker 1>though it's wildly over the top, it also has kind

0:26:11.160 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>of a docudrama field to it. It's cool. Did you

0:26:14.720 --> 0:26:19.160
<v Speaker 1>review Hustle? The movie I star in Listen Your boy

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>when he puts his mind to it can really do

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:24.360
<v Speaker 1>some really good stuff. I was a huge fan of

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 1>Uncut Gems and I loved Hustle, And one of the

0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.520
<v Speaker 1>things I loved about it, Dannis, you could just see

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Adam Sandler's love for the game and every scene there,

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, it really just it really got into it,

0:26:36.760 --> 0:26:38.919
<v Speaker 1>and it's a celebration. I think it's a celebration of

0:26:38.960 --> 0:26:42.399
<v Speaker 1>the athleticism and the poetry of basketball. So many of

0:26:42.400 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 1>those scenes, not we didn't get a lot of big

0:26:44.320 --> 0:26:46.960
<v Speaker 1>game scenes. We got workout scenes, and we got street

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:50.640
<v Speaker 1>ball scenes and playground scenes, and I thought that was great.

0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>And I thought the various athletes who played roles not

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>just played themselves were terrific. Yes, Anthony Edwards, I got

0:26:58.680 --> 0:27:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a screening back in February, and you know, the Timberwolves star.

0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I said, this guy, you would not know that he

0:27:05.800 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 1>played in the NBA if Yeah, I thought he was.

0:27:08.480 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 1>He jumped off the screen. I thought he was that charismatic.

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 1>He was the apollo creed of the story. And you're

0:27:14.160 --> 0:27:15.640
<v Speaker 1>right if you know a lot of even though he's

0:27:15.640 --> 0:27:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a real, real talent and a young star. You know

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're playing for the Timberwolves, Okay, you know he's

0:27:21.680 --> 0:27:24.240
<v Speaker 1>not nationally he doesn't have the face of a Steph

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:27.160
<v Speaker 1>Curry or a Lebron or anybody like that yet. And

0:27:27.200 --> 0:27:29.879
<v Speaker 1>you if you didn't know that, you'd think they found

0:27:30.119 --> 0:27:32.439
<v Speaker 1>a really good actor who could play basketball instead of

0:27:32.440 --> 0:27:34.600
<v Speaker 1>the other way around. All Right, Three movies that my

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:39.000
<v Speaker 1>audience should see this summer. Are well. The Black Phone,

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:40.840
<v Speaker 1>which just came out. I love this. It's an old

0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:44.399
<v Speaker 1>fashioned horror film with Ethan Hawk playing against type as

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:46.359
<v Speaker 1>a serial killer. I love that it's set in nineteen

0:27:46.440 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 1>seventy eight, which is the year that Halloween came out,

0:27:49.080 --> 0:27:51.080
<v Speaker 1>so it has almost that kind of vibe of a

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:57.560
<v Speaker 1>Halloween movie psychological thriller. I'm really looking forward to Nope,

0:27:57.600 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 1>which is the latest horror film from Jordan Peel. I

0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:01.320
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen it yet. And what I love about this

0:28:01.359 --> 0:28:04.120
<v Speaker 1>film as we knew almost nothing about it. It's got

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.399
<v Speaker 1>something to do with horses. That's about all we know

0:28:06.440 --> 0:28:10.880
<v Speaker 1>about that. You got one more, The Forgiven Jessica Chastain

0:28:10.960 --> 0:28:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and Ray Finds and this is kind of an old

0:28:12.640 --> 0:28:15.119
<v Speaker 1>fashioned film noir. You know, they're the wealthy couple. They

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>go to Morocco and they get involved in a murder

0:28:17.240 --> 0:28:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and a cover up and it's about cultures clashing and

0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:22.640
<v Speaker 1>it's again it goes back to great actors with great

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:24.840
<v Speaker 1>roles just knocking it out of the park. The movie

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:29.720
<v Speaker 1>that we should not see, well, I didn't like the

0:28:29.800 --> 0:28:34.199
<v Speaker 1>Jurassic movie and this this this recent one. The Man

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 1>from Toronto with Kevin Hard who I love and Woody Herolls.

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 1>I watched that yesterday. Yeah, I mean he's played that

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>role like in twenty movies, right, you know, the amiable,

0:28:41.280 --> 0:28:44.120
<v Speaker 1>bumbling guy who finds himself in a situation over his

0:28:44.160 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 1>head and then all kinds of gun shots and explosions.

0:28:48.360 --> 0:28:52.360
<v Speaker 1>We've seen it a million times. Yeah, let's go to

0:28:52.360 --> 0:28:54.920
<v Speaker 1>touch base with you. Um, you know I'm putting. I'm

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:59.840
<v Speaker 1>racking up numbers here with cameos, so in memoriam, I'm

0:29:00.040 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gunning. I mean, look, if you live longer than

0:29:02.720 --> 0:29:05.160
<v Speaker 1>I do, can you just get me up on the

0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>big screen and memorium at the Academy Awards. Yeah. I

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.080
<v Speaker 1>think the key is we're gonna we're gonna give you

0:29:10.120 --> 0:29:13.720
<v Speaker 1>the box office credit. You know, like like John Ratzenberger

0:29:13.760 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>who's in all the Pixar movies, was clipped on Cheers

0:29:16.200 --> 0:29:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and he has one role, so he's got a box

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 1>office of like seven billion. You're well over the billion.

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes I am. We'll go with that. We'll go with that. Yeah,

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm still waiting for you to break down all the

0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:29.800
<v Speaker 1>cameos that I've done. I mean, very very maybe maybe

0:29:29.800 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>a very special podcast we can write. Would be more

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:35.600
<v Speaker 1>than happy. I forget some of the movies that I'm

0:29:35.640 --> 0:29:37.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to forget some of the movies I've been on. Yeah,

0:29:38.000 --> 0:29:41.520
<v Speaker 1>but my job is to remind you that's true. Richard,

0:29:41.520 --> 0:29:43.720
<v Speaker 1>great to talk to you again. Thank you, my friend.

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:49.240
<v Speaker 1>That's Richard Roper, Chicago Suntimes Film and TV critic. Hopefully

0:29:49.240 --> 0:29:52.160
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't be a critic on this show. I don't

0:29:52.160 --> 0:29:54.760
<v Speaker 1>know what you might say. Yes, boy, how does one

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:56.840
<v Speaker 1>get that job out of college? Like you're in college,

0:29:56.840 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 1>like you just like stumble into it writing for entertainment,

0:30:00.880 --> 0:30:05.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I don't. It feels like Quentin Tarantino would

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:07.959
<v Speaker 1>have been a movie critic if he didn't make movies

0:30:08.000 --> 0:30:09.960
<v Speaker 1>because he worked in a video store. Right, And like

0:30:10.000 --> 0:30:11.760
<v Speaker 1>when Richard came out of college, you couldn't just start

0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:13.960
<v Speaker 1>your own podcast or website or whatever. You would have

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.760
<v Speaker 1>to write for a local paper or something. Yeah. Would

0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>you rather be a movie critic or a food critic?

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Food critic? Yeah, yeah, food critic for sure. Yeah, that's

0:30:23.320 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>the gig, right, Yeah, although you have to be anonymous.

0:30:29.120 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 1>It feels like if you go into a restaurant, you

0:30:32.240 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want them to know you're there, because then they're

0:30:34.200 --> 0:30:39.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna act differently. Then you get special treatment, but people

0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:43.520
<v Speaker 1>know your name, and then you know they're gonna know

0:30:43.560 --> 0:30:46.120
<v Speaker 1>what you look like. And then somebody all takes it's like, hey,

0:30:46.240 --> 0:30:48.640
<v Speaker 1>did you hear you know such and such as here?

0:30:49.200 --> 0:30:52.080
<v Speaker 1>And then it feels like things change. Hey, this is

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:58.200
<v Speaker 1>compliments of the chef. Oh we just had this nineteen

0:30:58.400 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty two bottle of burgundy around and uh, there's compliments

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>of the manager and the moose boos that Matri d oh.

0:31:08.600 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 1>But also you're going to be going into places where

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 1>you go, I don't want to eat this. I mean,

0:31:13.160 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Bourdain was wonderful just because he was not afraid

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:21.240
<v Speaker 1>and he was honest. But he brought in everything that

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:24.280
<v Speaker 1>like the culture that went into making that food. That

0:31:24.280 --> 0:31:26.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what was brilliant about that show that you go,

0:31:26.400 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>where is he? And then he would be trying something

0:31:29.160 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 1>and it's spiders in Bangladesh? All right with my good friend.

0:31:34.960 --> 0:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I met him in nineteen seventy seven when the sex

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Pistols are touring. Dig in what spiders for everybody? Spiders

0:31:42.160 --> 0:31:44.680
<v Speaker 1>from Mars. All right, we'll take a break, we'll come

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 1>back and we'll get phone calls and update our poll

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:44.320
<v Speaker 1>team is the first to fifty losses this season? We've

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:46.160
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of time talking about how great the

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Yankees are on a record setting pace. This team is

0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 1>the first team to fifty losses in the majors this season.

0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:59.000
<v Speaker 1>They're twenty five and fifty. The franchise's worst record through

0:32:59.080 --> 0:33:02.840
<v Speaker 1>seventy five games since nineteen seventy nine. Anybody want to

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:07.200
<v Speaker 1>guess without cheating Paulie, This is a trick question because

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.880
<v Speaker 1>you'd think it'd be the Reds after their start. That

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:11.960
<v Speaker 1>was my guess. I was going to say, the Cincinnati Reds.

0:33:12.000 --> 0:33:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you double tricking us? So I'm gonna go at

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 1>the ring. Are you trying to I it's the Oakland A's. Yes,

0:33:19.200 --> 0:33:22.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, plenty of seats still available.

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I've been to an A's game. They played the Royals,

0:33:27.520 --> 0:33:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and I went. It was a Saturday afternoon relaxing. Yeah,

0:33:33.120 --> 0:33:36.400
<v Speaker 1>you know where you go into a witness protection where

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.080
<v Speaker 1>nobody is going to know you're at an Oakland A's game,

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 1>very quiet, good seats, and we're watching the game. And

0:33:43.960 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>next thing I know, it's really really sparse. You could

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.320
<v Speaker 1>almost count the number of fans there, which is sad

0:33:50.360 --> 0:33:53.120
<v Speaker 1>because of that franchise and what they've meant to baseball.

0:33:54.160 --> 0:33:59.600
<v Speaker 1>There's like a couple two couples to the left of us.

0:34:00.160 --> 0:34:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Next thing I know, we're about to sixth inning. Two

0:34:03.240 --> 0:34:09.200
<v Speaker 1>guys start fighting. They rolled down the steps, like fifteen steps,

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:13.520
<v Speaker 1>rolled down into the aisle way, there, and I'm thinking,

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:17.200
<v Speaker 1>what could they be mad about? Like what could possibly

0:34:17.239 --> 0:34:20.880
<v Speaker 1>anger you here? And I'm gonna guess probably having beers

0:34:20.880 --> 0:34:23.200
<v Speaker 1>in the sun and somebody says something. Next thing you know,

0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:27.439
<v Speaker 1>it's on. Yeah, Mark Ricky Hendis is the best let's

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:32.239
<v Speaker 1>be created. No he's not Joe Rudy Is. I'm trying

0:34:32.239 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 1>to even think who was on the Oakland A's back then.

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 1>But I have a friend who lives in San Francisco.

0:34:37.120 --> 0:34:38.960
<v Speaker 1>He's going, hey, you want to go see an A's game.

0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:41.719
<v Speaker 1>I go, sure, and then you go in and I

0:34:41.760 --> 0:34:45.399
<v Speaker 1>go they late arriving, you know, we always make fun

0:34:45.400 --> 0:34:47.880
<v Speaker 1>of the Los Angeles fans. They're late late riving. And

0:34:47.880 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 1>he goes, yeah, really late, like years. Yeah, they're not

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 1>showing up. And it's one of those where I didn't

0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.759
<v Speaker 1>want to move down because he said, we'll just get

0:34:57.840 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, seats that don't cost anything. And then you

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 1>sit there and you go, there's no one in that section.

0:35:04.680 --> 0:35:07.319
<v Speaker 1>There's no one in that section. I think I could

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>probably be on third baseline right now. But that's a

0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 1>rough stadium though, that antiquated. You know, we usually like

0:35:19.360 --> 0:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>twenty years is how long a stadium. I think last, like,

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:24.640
<v Speaker 1>we get bored with that. And I brought this up before.

0:35:25.000 --> 0:35:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Imagine if you built Fenway twenty five years ago, or

0:35:30.120 --> 0:35:34.879
<v Speaker 1>you built Wrigley twenty five years ago, would you then say,

0:35:35.040 --> 0:35:37.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, we gotta tear those down. It feels like

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:42.280
<v Speaker 1>you would. Here, we have these landmark you know, historical buildings.

0:35:42.600 --> 0:35:45.799
<v Speaker 1>These are like Brownstones in New York City or Chicago.

0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But you know we have to have this. I gotta

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 1>get something new, gotta get something new, gotta get something new,

0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and we would have demolished those probably. Yes. Do you

0:35:56.200 --> 0:35:58.640
<v Speaker 1>think we'll ever see a point in time where and

0:35:58.760 --> 0:36:00.920
<v Speaker 1>that this might be ludicrous to say, but that they

0:36:00.960 --> 0:36:04.520
<v Speaker 1>start building smaller stadiums where you can create more atmosphere.

0:36:05.800 --> 0:36:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Somebody was building a stadium that I thought seeded fifty thousand.

0:36:13.080 --> 0:36:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Was it a football stadium? Gosh? Because it hit me

0:36:18.000 --> 0:36:20.520
<v Speaker 1>that same way though, Like when I go to Seattle.

0:36:20.560 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many Seattle seats, but man, that

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:27.799
<v Speaker 1>feels like a home field advantage when you go in there.

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:31.120
<v Speaker 1>That's like you hear everything the way they built it.

0:36:31.640 --> 0:36:36.200
<v Speaker 1>But is it seventy five thousand, I don't know, but

0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it feels like it's pretty intimate there. Yeah, PAULI here's

0:36:39.000 --> 0:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the weirdest thing. The Oakland A's are the worst in

0:36:40.920 --> 0:36:43.160
<v Speaker 1>baseball and A tenants eight thousand per game, and that's

0:36:43.160 --> 0:36:46.239
<v Speaker 1>eight thousand paid. They're probably getting four. Yeah, they are

0:36:46.280 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the biggest stadium capacity fifty seven thousand. Oakland Stadium at holds.

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers hold fifty six, but they get forty eight thousand game,

0:36:53.840 --> 0:36:57.680
<v Speaker 1>so the place looks full. Well. Fenway Fenway was like

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:02.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty three thousand, um, you know, I mean they've added

0:37:02.200 --> 0:37:04.239
<v Speaker 1>to it. Yeah, I got thirty seven thousand now for

0:37:04.280 --> 0:37:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the new Fenway Park with the expansion. Yeah, but it

0:37:06.760 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 1>still feels intimate when you go in there. I think

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:13.240
<v Speaker 1>that's the smallest Cleveland's Progressive Field. It's thirty four thousand.

0:37:13.320 --> 0:37:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You know. I just remember where somebody was building a

0:37:17.480 --> 0:37:19.919
<v Speaker 1>football stadium or there was a proposal, and I thought

0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:23.960
<v Speaker 1>it was for fifty thousand. Yeah, mor the Browns when

0:37:24.000 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 1>you talking about the Brown Stadium and they were, you know,

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.840
<v Speaker 1>maybe wanted to build a new one. I was like,

0:37:28.840 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>they just built that maybe twenty years ago. I would

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:34.160
<v Speaker 1>go back to Turner Field, like, man, I thought they

0:37:34.200 --> 0:37:36.800
<v Speaker 1>just built that. Yeah, they did. Atlanta, where you go okay,

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I went to Fulton County and then there's Turner and

0:37:39.880 --> 0:37:42.680
<v Speaker 1>then whatever it is now out in the suburbs. Not

0:37:42.760 --> 0:37:45.799
<v Speaker 1>the Mercedes though, is it? No? It's not sure, No,

0:37:45.880 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it's not one of those. Yeah, Falcon stadiums. Get one

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:53.959
<v Speaker 1>of those. Man's pretty at some phone calls in here?

0:37:54.360 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh Jeff and Tampa, Hi Jeff, what's on your mind today? Yeah?

0:37:58.880 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 1>How you doing? DP? Good? Three fifty five? A lot

0:38:05.200 --> 0:38:07.880
<v Speaker 1>of thomp fan. I was just thinking, like, you know

0:38:07.920 --> 0:38:10.799
<v Speaker 1>how we all hate as old school NBA fans, we

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:15.440
<v Speaker 1>hate the super team era. Could Adam Silver put a

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.560
<v Speaker 1>stop to it by having a flat cap more like

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.120
<v Speaker 1>the NFL, because you know how now in the NBA,

0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:23.759
<v Speaker 1>like Luca would get like, you know, four years and

0:38:23.760 --> 0:38:25.560
<v Speaker 1>a one hundred million from Dallas and three years and

0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.360
<v Speaker 1>eighty millions from any other team, and that numbers set.

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So these guys like they have set figures, so they

0:38:32.080 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 1>step their contracts. Where there was a flat cap, I

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like they would be competing against each other to

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:40.360
<v Speaker 1>have the highest contract and then they'd be unable to

0:38:40.840 --> 0:38:45.280
<v Speaker 1>make super teams. Well, I don't want to begrudge somebody

0:38:45.280 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 1>if they want to make money and if there is

0:38:48.600 --> 0:38:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that ability to make as much money as possible, the

0:38:52.160 --> 0:38:54.360
<v Speaker 1>super teams are going to be here. But not everybody

0:38:54.440 --> 0:38:56.640
<v Speaker 1>is going to subscribe to that, because you look at

0:38:56.680 --> 0:38:59.360
<v Speaker 1>what happened with Golden State in Boston. They did it

0:38:59.400 --> 0:39:02.240
<v Speaker 1>through the draft. Now you're gonna have to spend money

0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>to keep them, but you got to get really lucky

0:39:05.520 --> 0:39:07.080
<v Speaker 1>in the draft. And if you get lucky in the

0:39:07.160 --> 0:39:09.000
<v Speaker 1>draft and you build your team that way and you

0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:12.080
<v Speaker 1>want to spend, you know, the Warriors, they're way over

0:39:12.120 --> 0:39:15.640
<v Speaker 1>the salary cap. But if I'm a fan, I want

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to be part of a team ownership that spends the money.

0:39:20.400 --> 0:39:24.799
<v Speaker 1>They make a lot of money, and I applaud these

0:39:24.800 --> 0:39:27.440
<v Speaker 1>owners for actually spending money because there are a lot

0:39:27.480 --> 0:39:29.839
<v Speaker 1>of owners who don't spend that money. But as far

0:39:29.840 --> 0:39:33.440
<v Speaker 1>as make what you can make, I can't begrudge you

0:39:33.480 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>with that, you know, maybe your motivation to move around.

0:39:37.400 --> 0:39:39.600
<v Speaker 1>And I think this first super team that I can

0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>remember was probably the Philadelphia seventy six ers when Doctor

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:47.800
<v Speaker 1>J joined them, Moses Malone joined them. That's the first

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:51.160
<v Speaker 1>team that now wasn't labeled a super team, but looking back,

0:39:51.239 --> 0:39:54.440
<v Speaker 1>that might have been the first one. And then it

0:39:54.480 --> 0:39:56.160
<v Speaker 1>felt like you got to you have to add three

0:39:56.520 --> 0:40:00.440
<v Speaker 1>superstars or at least two, and and if you could

0:40:00.440 --> 0:40:04.040
<v Speaker 1>add another one. But you know these guys who would

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:06.520
<v Speaker 1>take less money. I mean, Michael Jordan kept that Bulls

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:10.040
<v Speaker 1>team together because Mike was taking six million dollars a year.

0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Then at the end, I think he got paid twenty

0:40:12.800 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 1>eight million, which seemed, you know, unseemly, like this is crazy,

0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:21.640
<v Speaker 1>But you get the Larry Bird rules, so you keep

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:24.600
<v Speaker 1>the players with the team. It doesn't affect the cap.

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:30.680
<v Speaker 1>But you know, now these salaries, it's it's commonplace where

0:40:30.680 --> 0:40:32.799
<v Speaker 1>we go. How much do you get he's making forty

0:40:32.840 --> 0:40:37.400
<v Speaker 1>seven million dollars a year? Well, you're not even playing.

0:40:38.280 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>He's going to sit out forty seven million dollars. David

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:47.160
<v Speaker 1>in Indiana, Hi, David, what's on your mind? Hello? Dan?

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Five eleven, two ten. You guys were talking about underhanded

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.760
<v Speaker 1>pree throws, and I think the case study has been done.

0:40:56.800 --> 0:40:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I heard interviews of Rick Berry where he worked with

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Wilt Chamberlain and in the season that Will broke thee

0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:07.920
<v Speaker 1>hundred point game, he scored twenty eight underhand free throws

0:41:08.000 --> 0:41:12.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight thirty two yep. And then he went back

0:41:12.760 --> 0:41:16.719
<v Speaker 1>to shooting overhand and being a terrible freestro shooter again. Well,

0:41:16.840 --> 0:41:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Wilt got to the point, thank you David. He went

0:41:18.840 --> 0:41:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to the top of the key. Wilt shot free throws

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and he had a horrible, horrible shot, horrible delivery. He

0:41:26.640 --> 0:41:30.960
<v Speaker 1>almost shot it like he was, you know, throwing a curveball,

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 1>but he took his shot. I think there was a

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.279
<v Speaker 1>time when Wilt could leave, He could leave from the

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:42.240
<v Speaker 1>foul line and dunk it, and then the outlaw that yeah, Paully,

0:41:42.480 --> 0:41:46.800
<v Speaker 1>that seems tiring, Like if they volui go back, Yeah,

0:41:47.040 --> 0:41:50.400
<v Speaker 1>ramp up. You know, Wilt Chamberlain in his third year

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>in the league got his free throw shooting up to

0:41:52.840 --> 0:41:55.319
<v Speaker 1>sixty two percent. Then he went back to his old

0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:57.880
<v Speaker 1>style and like six years later he was shooting forty

0:41:57.920 --> 0:42:03.400
<v Speaker 1>four percent, thirty eight percent, awful stuff, yeah, thirty eight

0:42:03.960 --> 0:42:08.799
<v Speaker 1>but his follow through was horrible. And then you know,

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you could have gone back to shooting underhand and people

0:42:12.960 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>might have made fun of you. They can only make

0:42:15.440 --> 0:42:17.680
<v Speaker 1>fun of you for so long when you're making them

0:42:18.000 --> 0:42:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Like nobody made fun of Rick Berry, no one. I

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:24.279
<v Speaker 1>mean they might have. When he started, Rick would knock

0:42:24.360 --> 0:42:27.279
<v Speaker 1>down ninety three percent of his free throws. Nobody's laughing

0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:30.839
<v Speaker 1>at that. But when you got guys who are you know,

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:33.640
<v Speaker 1>hitting the backboard, not the rim, or shooting an airball,

0:42:34.200 --> 0:42:36.920
<v Speaker 1>that's when they laugh at you. But I don't know

0:42:36.960 --> 0:42:39.239
<v Speaker 1>if any of these players are going to go all right,

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I can improve my free throw percentage by twenty percentage points,

0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:48.600
<v Speaker 1>but then they might laugh at me. I think Ben

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Simmons should sign up for that final hour on the way.

0:42:54.080 --> 0:42:58.560
<v Speaker 1>The Patriots still have a problem ex Patriots with Jimmy Garoppolo.

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Interesting beef that's going on, that's coming up. Thanks to

0:43:05.160 --> 0:43:08.000
<v Speaker 1>people like you, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation delivers on

0:43:08.040 --> 0:43:11.200
<v Speaker 1>its promise to do good and never forget the sacrifices

0:43:11.200 --> 0:43:15.799
<v Speaker 1>of America's greatest heroes, heroes like Misotis. Familia couldn't wait

0:43:15.840 --> 0:43:18.799
<v Speaker 1>to join the NYPD to protect her community, proudly wore

0:43:18.880 --> 0:43:21.120
<v Speaker 1>that uniform, but was ambushed, shot in the head in

0:43:21.120 --> 0:43:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the line of duty, solely because of the uniform that

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:26.680
<v Speaker 1>she was wearing. She survived by her three children. Genesis

0:43:26.760 --> 0:43:28.799
<v Speaker 1>twenty at the time of the murder, became the sole

0:43:28.880 --> 0:43:32.719
<v Speaker 1>guardian and provider for her twin siblings, Peter and Delilah,

0:43:32.760 --> 0:43:35.160
<v Speaker 1>who were twelve at the time. Thanks to your generosity,

0:43:35.200 --> 0:43:37.759
<v Speaker 1>Tunnel to Towers gave her children a mortgage free home.

0:43:37.800 --> 0:43:40.480
<v Speaker 1>For some families, the foundation brings the comfort of knowing

0:43:40.520 --> 0:43:42.279
<v Speaker 1>they can stay in the home where they've made their

0:43:42.280 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 1>memories with their fall in love one. For other families,

0:43:45.080 --> 0:43:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the foundation enables new memories to be cherished forever. Help

0:43:48.200 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 1>our nation's greatest heroes and their families, and you can

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:53.840
<v Speaker 1>do so by donating eleven dollars a month to Tunnel
