Speaker 5: the US Open.

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 4: Happy movie. I thought you were gonna tell us you

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 4: were moving.

10
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 5: Oh, always moving, always moving. But we got gray skies

11
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 5: out there at Oakmont. It's a little ominous.

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 4: Ominous. I like that word. That is a good word.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 4: We have so much to discuss today.

14
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: We have NBA Finals, we have Caitlin Clark, We got

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: a little NFL news before going into the break.

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 4: Stanley Cup so much.

17
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that Stanley Cup has been so fun.

18
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 4: It has been so fun.

19
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: But I think one could make an argument that well,

20
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: it wouldn't even be an argument the NBA finals.

21
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 5: Also, these finals, these finals have been fantastic and riveting television.

22
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: You don't have to be a hockey fan.

23
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 5: You know there's gonna be a big ratings discourse because

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 5: of the two small market teams. But if you choose

25
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 5: to pick apart this these NBA Finals, you're not watching

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 5: That game last night was deep.

27
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 4: Epic, that was really deep. If you choose to pick

28
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 4: apart these NBA Finals you're not watching, right, that should be.

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: Their tad line, right. I think they make it an ad.

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 2: Put it on a billboard, Put it on a billboard.

31
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: Last night's game, as you mentioned, was epic. I think

32
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: right off the bat, we have to talk about the

33
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 2: thing that is the big news for everyone, and that

34
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 2: is that first game. Caitlyn Clark has been out that

35
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: the Pacers of lost and is in the.

36
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: Eighth one right one one?

37
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, eight and one. So I think that, I mean,

38
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 4: I really think that's all you guys need to know.

39
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy your sortidy know, but no longer undefeated,

40
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 5: as she's leading the Fever over the New York Liberty

41
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 5: at the moment, Yeah she has.

42
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 4: She said, a big weekend. A lot dudes's returning, and

43
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: we'll talk about.

44
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: That in a little bit. But let's get into last

45
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: night's game. The Oklahoma City Thunder, a team you are,

46
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: as we know, quite familiar with, overcomes a ten point

47
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: deficit late in the third quarter beat The Pacers. Series

48
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: is now two to two. This feels like a seven gamer. You,

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, are very familiar with the OKLA Oklahoma

50
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: City Thunder. Maybe for some of our new listeners, give

51
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: a short sentence or two on why that is.

52
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 5: But yeah, yes, I began my broadcasting career covering the Thunder.

53
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: It was the last year of Russell Westbrook and Kevin

54
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: Durant together and they're pushed to the Western Conference Finals.

55
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 5: So I understand the history of that franchise, the passion

56
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:35,080
Speaker 5: of their fan base, but also just how quick their

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 5: return to the top has been. Honestly, a very young

58
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 5: NBA franchise in terms of when they relocated to Oklahoma City,

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 5: but you know, two down years and now they've they've

60
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 5: been led by Shaye Gilgess Alexander to the NBA Finals

61
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 5: and I think honestly the most of the NBA world

62
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 5: had them picked to win this in five.

63
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: So the quality of.

64
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 5: Comp tiss between Indiana and Okase has been fantastic.

65
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: And you know, I was sat for Game four last night.

66
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 5: India up to one in the series and they were

67
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 5: up seven points in.

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 3: The fourth quarter.

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 5: As frustrated offensively as the Thunder seemed to be, I

70
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: mean they finished the game with three three pointers made.

71
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 5: They couldn't go away, they weren't going away, and I'll

72
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: have to say it was Alex Caruso who set.

73
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: The tone from the guy Alex Caruso and.

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 5: Shay was MVPSGA in the fourth with fifteen fourth quarter points.

75
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: In the final four thirty eight, no less.

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 5: Right, right, and he made an impact, you know, with

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 5: a block and his steal. He had a clutch three.

78
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 5: I mean, his MVP card showed in those minutes. And

79
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 5: I don't think he would tell you he was proud

80
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 5: of his performance in Game three. I know Alex Caruso

81
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: have said as much, and they rose to meet the moment.

82
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: And also, you can't talk.

83
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 5: About this game without talking about the Thunders defense, which

84
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 5: is like arguably the best unit that we've seen in

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: the NBA this entire season, and loud Dort just the

86
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 5: job he did on containing Halliburton.

87
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 3: It was remarkable. I mean, Halliburton put.

88
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: Up seventeen points, but it was inefficient seventeen. You know,

89
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 5: he was held pretty quiet throughout the game. So it

90
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 5: was a really impressive stand by the Thunders defense. And

91
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,239
Speaker 5: I just loved those final three minutes, like you were

92
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 5: just it was riveting.

93
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 4: Riveting is the perfect world word.

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 2: And I want to give props to SGA's supporting cast,

95
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: because that is the key to Oklahoma City winning this series.

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: It can't just be Gildas Alexander So Jayla Williams is

97
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: twenty seven points, Alex Caruso we've talked about before and

98
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: really favorite of both of ours, twenty off the bench

99
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: chet Homegrown fifteen rebounds.

100
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 5: Right, there was there was a couple of moments down

101
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 5: down the stretch when I think it was off an

102
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 5: SGA three miss, you know, and it clanketon. He had

103
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 5: done everything to get open for that look and Homegrend

104
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 5: comes out of nowhere to for the put back right,

105
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: And it's just that sort of chemistry understanding, you know,

106
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 5: forethought that you have to have to have that slight

107
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: margin of advantage when both of these teams, it's like

108
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 5: it might be one of the grittiest series I can.

109
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 5: It's a shit watching, Yeah, it's it's they are battling.

110
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: It is physical. Sometimes it isn't pretty.

111
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 5: But I think it's just a testament to you know,

112
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: a lot of a lot of people when I hear, oh,

113
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 5: I don't watch the NBA anymore.

114
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 3: You know, it's too too offensive, like too much of

115
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: an off game.

116
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: And I mean tune into this channel because or to

117
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 5: these finals, I should say, because this is a battle

118
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 5: of the heavyweights that I don't know if a lot

119
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: of people, I don't know what the odds were for

120
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 5: Indiana to win the finals at the beginning of the year,

121
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 5: but they weren't.

122
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: They weren't a front runner.

123
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: No say that they were not.

124
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 2: And they struggled for a lot of the first part

125
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: of the season, so they certainly were not. I mean,

126
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: I like the heavyweights. You could I have another tagline.

127
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 2: I mean, if Adam Silver here listening here, I got

128
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: another one small market teams heavyweights on the court.

129
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: I'm just throwing that.

130
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: Oh the love that I'm just.

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: Saying, I'll give it to you for free, okay, because

132
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: I think it would totally work. But you are welcome

133
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: to NBA fans everywhere. Let's look ahead to Game five.

134
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 2: You go back to Okay, see it's in It's on

135
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: Monday night. And what I mean, I think we're going seven?

136
00:06:59,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 3: I do.

137
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: I think Rice is a seven game series.

138
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: But you know from from the Pacers, both teams have

139
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 2: had this thing where they they can't collapse at the end,

140
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: and I think this has happened, you know, for both teams.

141
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: So the Pacers went over eight from three point range

142
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 2: in the final quarter, so that was not great. But

143
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: what does each team need to do, Nikki to come

144
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: out victorious?

145
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.

146
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, first of all, a little bit of backtracking there,

147
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 5: I think a quick good track away Indiana. The Indiana

148
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 5: Pacers had a preseason title odds of plus sixty six.

149
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: Hundred on bet MGM, So there you go. They were.

150
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: They were by far and away not considered.

151
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: So if you would bet for them to go to

152
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 4: the NBA Finals, you were probably in a pretty good mood.

153
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 5: Right now, Right right, I think listen right, is the

154
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: Thunder now have home court advantage as they look at

155
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 5: the final three games here, which it always is funny

156
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 5: to me how it shifts, right, but the series is

157
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 5: tied up, goes back to Oka. See Thunder doing credibly

158
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: well there. But as we've seen with the Pacers, that

159
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: have just proven to be one of the best clutch

160
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: come from behind teams in playoff in playoff history that

161
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 5: I can remember, led by Tyrese Haliber, and the Thunder

162
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 5: need to there's no taking your foot off the gas pedal,

163
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 5: and what they showed last night that they were capable

164
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 5: of doing coming from behind in the fourth quarter. It's

165
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: that type of dog fight mentality I think they need

166
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 5: to come in to Game five with especially because I

167
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: mean it might as well be back at zero, right, yeah,

168
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 5: for best of three series aheads, So they cannot take

169
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 5: anything for granted.

170
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: I think they're.

171
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 5: Key to this championship, the first ever in Oklahoma City history,

172
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: will be their defense. And if they can disrupt the

173
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 5: Pacers as as much as they have, then that's got

174
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 5: to be their edge. And and I mean, Shay's got

175
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 5: to continue to be consistent because what we saw in

176
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: Game three him faltering like he's got to be mvpche

177
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 5: at all times. And and as far as the Pacers go,

178
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 5: you know they've got to when the thunder are, you know,

179
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 5: make three threes for an entirety of the game.

180
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 3: You got to capitalize.

181
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 5: And and I think it's it's got to be that

182
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 5: you know, every every possession is not over until you

183
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 5: know the balls in your hands and your so don't

184
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 5: don't count out those homegrim put backs, don't count out

185
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 5: those rebounds. It's it's I don't even know it, Like

186
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: I feel like both teams have shown that they don't

187
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 5: need any advice, Right, what are you what are your

188
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 5: prescribed being for each team?

189
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: I think, well, you nailed it about the possessions, like

190
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: no possessions over until it's actually over. And it's true

191
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 2: of the game as well, like both of these teams

192
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: have seen that throughout the series, throughout these playoffs, like

193
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: it is a as you so eloquently said, a dog

194
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: fight until the end, and it feels it's funny it

195
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: changes for every game because now I feel like this

196
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: is Oklahoma Cities, like this is their series to lose.

197
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: But there have been games where I'm like, I don't know,

198
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 2: the Pacers seem to have like all the momentum. It's

199
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: gonna be interesting, and we also what's interesting is now

200
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 2: correct me if I'm wrong on the Nikky it's now

201
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: one one in one in that game five is in

202
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 2: ok see game six in Indiana, and then games if

203
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: there's a game seven being OKAC, which I think adds

204
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 2: a whole other element to this, right.

205
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 5: Because you say, like, oh, you know, the thunder have

206
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 5: two of the three remaining at home, but if they

207
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 5: drop this game game five, you return to Indy game

208
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 5: six for India to close it out, So it's essentially

209
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 5: must win almost for you know, like for both teams.

210
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: And you know, the Pacers did a really good job

211
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: of creating thunder turnovers in late game situations last night,

212
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: so I would encourage them to lean into that and

213
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 5: then the thunder. Oh shoot, I had a point that

214
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 5: I was going to say. It was regarding.

215
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: You know what, get let me get back to you

216
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: on that, please do yes, get.

217
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 2: Back to me on the point that you that was

218
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 2: regarding should I remind you that way?

219
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah? Yeah.

220
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 4: The point that was that was regarding Okay, Okay, I

221
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: like it. I like it.

222
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 2: It's funny with these teams too, because maybe funny isn't

223
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 2: the right word, but sometimes you're watching two teams and

224
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, but this fan base, you really both

225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: of these fan bases. I feel like I'm really rooting

226
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: for both these fan bases. These are games that I

227
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 2: watch and I'm like, I'm just so happy that these

228
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: ones don't matter.

229
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: Did I point?

230
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yes, you were saying, okay at times that

231
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 5: you feel like this is the Thunders to lose, now, right,

232
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 5: I felt in the fourth quarter heading into the fourth quarter,

233
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 5: at one point, Indiana was up ten. I think it

234
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 5: was in late in the third. They had a seven

235
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 5: point lead in the fourth. I thought the thunder looked

236
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 5: really out, you know, out of rhythm. Nothing, And that's

237
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 5: a credit to Indiana. But and I could easily see

238
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 5: the Pacers closing that one out and taking a three

239
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 5: to one lead at home, right. So that just shows

240
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: how the pendulum misswinging in this series.

241
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: Which I don't think a lot of people expected.

242
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: No, I absolutely agree with you. This one is fun.

243
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: It is really and it's really fun as a basketball

244
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: fan because, like I said a little earlier, not being

245
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: a true fan of either team, it's really fun. If

246
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 2: I was a fan of these teams, i'd be, you know,

247
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: having panic attacks every single game.

248
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 4: But as a basketball fan, it's really fun.

249
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 2: And going back to what we talk about in the

250
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 2: beginning of this segment, maybe they are small market teams,

251
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 2: but they are putting on one heck of a show

252
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: and they are playing their hearts out.

253
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: It has been chippy. There was a little kerfuffle, which is.

254
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: One of my most favorite words grass Night, little little

255
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: kerfuffle leading to technical fouls Like this is these are

256
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: battles and that's fun.

257
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: That is fun. It's good for the game. It's good

258
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 4: for basketball, the NBA, everybody involved. It's just it's been

259
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 4: a good time, right.

260
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 5: And whether it's at Gamebridge Field House, which honestly spectacular

261
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 5: showing by the fan base there, or at the pay

262
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 5: Com Center in Oklahoma City, you can sense how much

263
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: it means to each town, right, and.

264
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 3: It's it's really a great display.

265
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 5: And I think you're looking at the future of the

266
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 5: league with Shay gil Just Alexander, Tyrese Halliburton, and a

267
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 5: lot of discussion has been made.

268
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: About, you know, the league.

269
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 5: When you talk about a superstar status, right, you kind

270
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 5: of measure it by who would someone who's a casual

271
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 5: fan of sports, not necessarily an NBA fan, know as

272
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 5: a household name. And I think at that this point

273
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 5: in NBA discourse, we're there with Lebron James, Kevin Durant,

274
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 5: giannisonte To Kumpo, Steph Curry, Luka, donci Chieven. I don't

275
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 5: know if SGA is there yet. I don't know if

276
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 5: Tyrese Halliburton is there yet. But the hope is that

277
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: the moments they're having in this series, and whatever the

278
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 5: result may be, is that this is the new wave

279
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 5: of stars of superstars that are about to take the

280
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: driving seat in the NBA, and I think whichever team wins,

281
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: those guys will be those names in our In their

282
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 5: next hour, we're gonna have Tim Cabacami on to talk

00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 5: more about the NBA Finals.

284
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 4: So get ready for that and stay right here. This

Speaker 2: six for ten on three pointers.

306
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 4: And Nikki said, I was in fact reading that right back.

307
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 3: From that hamstring injury, and she hasn't missed a beat.

308
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 4: No, she's not twenty five total points at the moment.

309
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 3: I mean, this woman is on a mission.

310
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: She has led the fever to New Heights and now

311

Speaker 5: they're going toe to toe with the reigning champs. And

316
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 5: little Indiana connection here. Caitlyn Clark has been court sided

317
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 5: a lot of the Pacers games, and she she actually

318
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 5: has a very very solid friendship with Tyrese Halliburton. There's

319
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 5: a group chat between Halliburton, Clark, Tyrese's girlfriend Jade Jones,

320
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: and Caitlin Clark's boyfriend Connor McCaffrey.

321
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: So it's the.

322
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: Two couples all in a group chat, and Tyrese Haliburton

323
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: was talking about it. He's saying, like, you know, there's

324
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 5: few messages that get priority responding to that chat is

325
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 5: always always activated and I love that and it goes

326
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 5: beyond like support and you know couples dates between that

327
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 5: four it's you know, when Caitlin in her second year,

328
00:16:54,800 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 5: she's been dealing with increased defensive pressure and attention for teams,

329
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 5: and she's navigating that jump right and sometimes it's called

330
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 5: the sophomore slump.

331
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 3: Clearly for her, not so much so slimpy.

332
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 5: She's able to relate to Halliburton and to pick his brains,

333
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,959
Speaker 5: and that's been the discourse of their chatter there. So

334
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 5: we love brilliant basketball minds uniting right and on the

335
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 5: biggest of stages too.

336
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,640
Speaker 4: I hope it's the name of their group chat, brilliant

337
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 4: maybe brilliant basketball mind ze.

338
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: I love it with a Z ze. Yes, I love that.

339
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 2: So hopefully that is the name of the group chat. Yeah,

340
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: I love it. I think really, what Caitlin Clark has

341
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: done for the sport is incredible and this is this cool.

342
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: I hope we see more of this throughout the league

343
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: in cities where there's both NBA and WNBA teams and

344
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 2: these brilliant basketball minds coming together.

345
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 5: And the level of talent. Page Beckers right number one

346
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 5: draft pick this year. She just returned from concussion protocol

347
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 5: last night and had thirty five points, I believe. So

348
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 5: it's the level of talent. Isn't saying it's not like

349
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 5: Caitlin Clark. You know, it is by far and above better.

350
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,719
Speaker 5: This is a tough, tough league to make a living in,

351
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 5: to survive in. And the fact that she's brought a

352
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 5: whole new fan base instead of eyeballs to the WNBA

353
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 5: is fantastic. But I mean it's it's evolving rapidly.

354
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: Yes, yes it is.

355
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: And here we are talking about I love it and

356
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: keeping a very close eye on that TV right now,

357
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: Indiana's up sixty two to fifty nine. We are going

358
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 2: to transition a little bit quick overview of the NFL.

359
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 2: It is truly the NFL off season, like for real,

360
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: like the off season that everyone thinks of the off

361
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: season is only sort of the off season.

362
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 4: This is the true break the NFL.

363
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: I don't believe you.

364
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 4: I know you don't believe me. It's true.

365
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 3: I'm getting news all the time about the NFL.

366
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 4: Right now, Well we're okay, so well here's what we'll see.

367
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: We're at the end mini camps for this week, and

368
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: so we're kind of in the end of that news.

369
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 2: They'll probably all always be news because it is the NFL.

370
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: But in theory it's the break time.

371
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: But not all the teams have even had their mini camps.

372
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 5: I believe I thought Seattle, La were they coming brand

373
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 5: He's just went to Miami.

374
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 3: Well, some of them are starting.

375
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: I'll tell you this.

376
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 2: The forty Niners had their mini camps as far as

377
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm concerned, like it's a break We sawgur and Rogers

378
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: in a steal that was it their mini camp last

379
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: week with a wedding band on. Yes, he is in

380
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: fact married. There was a lot of question was it

381
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: an or ring?

382
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: It was.

383
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: It definitely did not look like an orr ring. He

384
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 2: is in fact married to whom we don't know. But

385
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: we are going to have Judy Batista on in just

386
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: a little bit to give us a rundown. Big story

387
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 2: out of Cincinnati feels like a big story to meet.

388
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: At least that rookie Schmart Steart leaves. He left mini

389
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 2: camp due.

390
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 4: To contract dispute. I don't know that I've heard of

391
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 4: a rookie doing that in recent years.

392
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 5: Rookies having contract leverage. Is that I'm unfamiliar with the

393
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 5: scope of the NFL's structure, right, But you don't normally.

394
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 4: Hear not quite like this.

395
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 2: I've seen rookies who don't sign until later getting closer

396
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 2: training camp, but they I haven't seen them leave. I

397
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 2: think that's the thing that to me is interesting. Move Cotton,

398
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: it's a bold move. You gotta wonder how much does

399
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 2: the nil play into it that they're being used to

400
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: that also, I mean, God, forgive him. He's not getting

401
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: what he's doing.

402
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 4: I don't know. This is gonna be interesting.

403
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: I'm really interested to hear Judy's take on this and

404
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: any insight she might have, so she'll be coming up

405
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: in a bit. But before that, there's some stuff going on.

406
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: The US Open rain. You were very concerned about the rain, right.

407
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,920
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing.

408
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: So it's you know, US Open, it's notorious. The course

409
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 5: is always the monster. It's the biggest challenge. Really interesting

410
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: coming into round three today, three players under par as

411
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 5: we look at the leaderboard right now, there's only three

412
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 5: golfers under par and burn Spawn and Lawrence Hoveland has

413
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 5: had a tough go early on.

414
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:06,920
Speaker 3: It seems.

415
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:13,239
Speaker 5: But yesterday watching the second realm, I mean, some of

416
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 5: the world's best they were looking like little boys having

417
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 5: tantrums out there. I'm not gonna lie. Did you see

418
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: Rory McElroy throwing his club? Did you see him turning

419
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 5: around and smashing the tea box yet?

420
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 3: See?

421
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 4: This is what golf does.

422
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 3: Though.

423
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: This is why I've never played golf, because this is

424
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: what it seems to do to people.

425
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm like, come on, be better, be better. But anyways,

426
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 5: neither here nor there. I do love the antics. Give

427
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 5: us a little drama.

428
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: We do like drama, and drama add some fun things

429
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: to sports. But you know who is not drama, Our

430
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,840

Speaker 2: doing that.

486
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 4: Judy Batista from the.

487
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 2: NFL Network is here to join us. Judy, I say,

488
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 2: it's truly the NFL break. Nikki doesn't believe me. What

489
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 2: do you have to say on this?

490
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 7: It's going to be my NFL break coming up? Really, sir,

491
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 7: There you go. It's the closest thing you get to it.

492
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 7: I gotta take it.

493
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 5: I don't believe there's an off season for this league,

494
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 5: to be quite honest.

495
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 7: No, no, this is like as close as you get to,

496
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 7: like three weeks somebody. Actually, Bill Belichick once said to

497
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 7: me once about the schedule, as long as they leave

498
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 7: us alone around the fourth of July. And that's basically

499
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 7: what it has come down to.

500
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. That is really fair. Well, I want

501
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 2: to jump into something I just mentioned. We had a

502
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 2: rookie leaving Bengals mini camp due to a contract dispute.

503
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: So Judy, I could be wrong about this. I do

504
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: remember rookies, of course, signing much later closer to training camp.

505
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: I don't remember anybody leaving for a contract dispute.

506
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 4: Am I wrong about that? Am I misremembering?

507
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 7: I would have to go back? I mean, I do

508
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 7: you know it was pretty normal to have holdouts by rookies,

509
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 7: because before the CBA came in with the rookie wage scale,

510
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 7: that was pretty regular that you would have rookies, you know,

511
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,879
Speaker 7: not reporting to training camp on time. But it's mostly

512
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 7: disappeared right since the CBA put that. I mean, that's

513
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 7: why this is such a sort of surprise, strange situation.

514
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 7: And again to have them leave campus, you said, you know,

515
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 7: makes quite a statement there, and he also said quite

516
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 7: a few things pretty pointed remarks about the Bengals front office.

517
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 7: It's very unusual, and it's already sort of teetering on

518
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 7: it sounds like a little bit acrimonious, and that's certainly

519
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 7: not good, especially for a team that the whole off

520
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 7: season was about figuring out ways to stark faster. This

521
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 7: team has had flow starts the last few years that

522
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 7: have put them in a hole, and the whole off

523
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 7: season has been about figuring out what they can do

524
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 7: to start faster. And one of the things was to

525
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 7: eliminate contract situations right, eliminate distractions and We're not quite

526
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 7: there yet. With the Bengal they'll think they're going to

527
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 7: have this getting close to training camp.

528
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: The best laid plans they tried. They tried their very

529
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 2: vast but doesn't always work out.

530
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: Hi, Judy, quick question for you, what do you think's

531
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 5: going on in the Cleveland quarterback room? Because I'm guessing Flacos.

532
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 5: I'm guessing Flacos get you know, week one starter, but

533
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 5: I'm just intrigued to know what the developments are happening

534
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 5: in the Browns organization.

535
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 3: In regards of QB one.

536
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 7: Well, I would agree with you that I think Flacco,

537
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 7: who has had success with Kevin Stefanski, I have to

538
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 7: think that, barring an absolute disaster in training camp, that

539
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 7: he would start the season as a starter. But at

540
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 7: some point they've got to see what the rookies can do.

541
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 7: First of all, it's very unusual to have four quarterbacks, period,

542
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 7: right Verry four quarterbacks is very odd. To have two

543
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 7: rookies is unusual. They've got to see those rookies at

544
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 7: some point because don't forget. The thing to keep in

545
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 7: the back of your mind is the Browns have two

546
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 7: first round draft picks in twenty twenty six because of

547
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 7: the trade they made with the Jacksonville jag Wars, they

548
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 7: picked up an extra first round pick that they are

549
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 7: in prime position to draft a quarterback high next year

550
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 7: if they want to, if they need to, in a

551
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 7: class that is already being projected to be stronger than

552
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 7: the class we just said in twenty twenty five. So

553
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,919
Speaker 7: all of that is like the safety nets for the

554
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 7: Cleveland Browns. If you know this, this group of quarterbacks

555
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 7: just you know, is nothing going forward. I mean, Flacko

556
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 7: was obviously not for long term answer. They've got to

557
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 7: figure out if Canny Pickett, could he be the long

558
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 7: term answer, or could either of the rookies be the

559
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 7: long term answer. I don't think anything we saw in

560
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 7: mini camp matters. It is all going to be in

561
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 7: training camp. In the preseason games. You're going to have

562
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 7: to see how they divide the reps, which is also

563
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 7: not easy when you've got four guys, because at some

564
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 7: point you're going to have to get Joe flack al

565
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 7: ready for week one. Presumably it's very unusual, and obviously

566
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 7: it's going to be one of the top storylines it's

567
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 7: going into the season. But again, I just keep coming

568
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 7: back to the idea that none of this may matter

569
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 7: because if none of them really shine, they have the

570
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 7: ultimate safety net and they can draft a quarterback very

571
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 7: high in the first round next year.

572
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 4: Seems like a lot of drama in the state of

573
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 4: Ohio around football, which is not a surprise to those

574
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 4: of us on time to like the state of Ohio

575
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: around football. But I digress.

576
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk a little Aaron Rodgers Steelers mini camp. He's married,

577
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 2: so that was one more little mic drop that he

578
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 2: got to share with everybody. But the real story, of course,

579
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 2: is going to be how is he going to fit

580
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: into this team?

581
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 4: What is it going to look like?

582
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 2: Obviously midi caamp is not very long, short sample size,

583
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: but kind of what are your general thoughts and did

584
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 2: you see anything this week or hear anything this week

585
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: that gave you a thought one way or the other.

586
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,200
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I think this week was all

587
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 7: about just like getting to know you, right, I mean

588
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 7: just getting to know like I think he went to

589
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 7: a charity golf outing with this he made so like

590
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 7: it was that kind of thing, and getting into the

591
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 7: playbook with Arthur Smith, which is important. I actually am

592
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 7: cautiously optimistic that this is going to work in Pittsburgh.

593
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 7: In the last like six weeks of last season with

594
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 7: the jetsus that is, the Jet season was sort of spiraling.

595
00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 7: By that point, Rogers looked better, which probably not surprising.

596
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 7: You know, he was coming off in achilles injury and

597
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,479
Speaker 7: generally it takes more than a year to really recover

598
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 7: from that, and so later in the season he looked better.

599
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 7: He's look, he's not the mobile quarterback. He wasn't he

600
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 7: was twenty eight years old. That's gone, but he's still

601
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 7: got an arm and obviously his football brain is fantastic.

602
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 7: And the team around him in Pittsburgh is simply better.

603
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 7: The organization is better than he had at the Jets, right.

604
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 7: I mean, they're not going through coaching upheaval like they

605
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 7: were going through with the Jets. They've got a defense

606
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 7: that has carried that team for the last few seasons.

607
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 7: They've got a running game. They just drafted a rookie

608
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 7: running back, Caleb Johnson, who they're really excited about.

609
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 8: So there's more.

610
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 7: Around him that should support him, you know. And I

611
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 7: think more than that is the Steelers are not going

612
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 7: to turn like the entire organization over to Aaron Rodgers, right,

613
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 7: like he's not going to be picking the personnel and

614
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 7: picking the offensive coordinator.

615
00:30:59,400 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 5: That's not happen.

616
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 7: And so I actually think there's some hope for this

617
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 7: to work. And I also think Aaron is you know,

618
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 7: people may wonder why he wants to do this. First

619
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 7: of all, I'm sure he doesn't want to go out

620
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 7: on the note that he would have gone out with

621
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 7: the Jets, and you know, and the Steelers have to

622
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 7: get over the hump. I mean, they keep making the playoffs,

623
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 7: much to their credits, and they're probably overperforming the roster

624
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 7: some of those seasons, but you know, they win super

625
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 7: Bowls in Pittsburgh. They don't want to just make the playoffs.

626
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 7: They need to win playoff games. And I do think

627
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 7: if they get there, he can still do this.

628
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 4: Okay, that's that's fair. Now I'm cautiously optimistic, Thanks Judy

629
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: and Judy.

630
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 5: When we look at what's going on in Dallas right now,

631
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 5: I mean, Michael Parsons in full on negotiation mode saying

632
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 5: it's going to.

633
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: Cost the Cowboys more.

634
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 5: I guess what have you taken from this level of

635
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 5: conversation between franchise and player and how much how much

636
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: are you thinking Mike is going to walk away.

637
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 7: With well, he's got to be the highest paid non

638
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,959
Speaker 7: quarterback at this point. At least he said it out loud, right,

639
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 7: what we all know that it's costing the money. Can

640
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 7: we do this every year? I mean, you're enough at

641
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 7: dak Press costs. Dak presscosts contract literally came down two

642
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 7: minutes before kickoff of the season, which is crazy, and

643
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 7: they do end up overpaying because of it. They clearly

644
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 7: are comfortable operating this way because they continue to do it.

645
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 7: But it does cost them a lot of money. It's

646
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 7: not my money, it's not your money, it's their money.

647
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 7: You do wonder why they keep operating like this. You

648
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 7: do wonder how much it frustrates and distracts guys. I

649
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 7: think when the here players will say, when they're being

650
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 7: candid that it is a distraction, it does weigh on them, obviously. Now,

651
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 7: Micah and Jerry appear to have a very good relationship.

652
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 7: They spent part of the mini camp day the other

653
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 7: day just talking on the sideline for a long time

654
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 7: in full view of the reporters who were there. I

655
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 7: think it's very odd that Jerry has said he has

656
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 7: not talked to the agent like, why what it's strange.

657
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 7: I have no doubt it will get done. I do

658
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 7: wonder why the Cowboys keep going down this road of

659
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 7: you know, sort of frustrating their best, best players and

660
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,239
Speaker 7: then having to pay a premium to keep those guys.

661
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: And then it doesn't they don't perform, and they don't

662
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: It's not like it's working from a win loss perspective,

663
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: playoff perspective. So it is a little bit strange that

664
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 2: they keep doing it this way. But you know, that's

665
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: how Jerry does it, I guess.

666
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 7: Right, and it's probably, you know, it's foolish probably to

667
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 7: think that they're going to change their ways at this point.

668
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, we keep thinking every year it

669
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 7: will change, but probably we should not be thinking that anymore.

670
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think that is fair.

671
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 3: Judy.

672
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 2: Thank you so much for joining us today. Enjoy your break.

673
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 3: Thanks, Judy.

674
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 2: We're getting little NFL break soon, you and I and

675
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: I hope that I hope you really enjoy your short

676
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: time off.

677
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 7: I will thank you and see you all training camp.

678
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 4: All right, We'll see you then. We will be right back.

679
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 4: This is Fox Sports Saturday.

680
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

681
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: Coming to you live from the Fox Sports radio studios.

682
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: It is time for the dues and the don'ts.

683
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 3: What a beat.

684
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: Highlighting dh I love that putting a spotlight on the don't.

685
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 4: The subject brings me no joy.

686
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 3: That's insane.

687
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,960
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports,

688
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: all right.

689
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna start with the don't. I don't want to

690
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 4: be negative, but I'm going to do it anyways.

691
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 2: Do not fire your coach that took you to the

692
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals without a plan. I actually could have

693
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 2: stopped it before without a plan. I think that it

694
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: could have just been there.

695
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 3: My gosh.

696
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: Then ask every everybody in the league if you can

697
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 2: interview their coach, which everyone's like, No.

698
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: The Knicks prerequisite is a.

699
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,399
Speaker 2: Human, yes, but not the human that took our team

700
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 2: to the Eastern Conference finals. Apparently they are going to

701
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 2: be meeting with former Kings coach Mike Brown former Grizzlies

702
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 2: coach Taylor Jenkins next week after being denied basically everyone

703
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: else that they wanted to talk to.

704
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 4: But generally also, don't fire your coach just took you

705
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 4: to the Eastern Conference Finals.

706
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:28,720
Speaker 3: My dad always told me, don't leave a job.

707
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 5: Unless you have a job, and it's the same It's

708
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 5: kind of the same thing like New York Knicks, like,

709
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 5: don't fire your head coach unless you have one in

710
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 5: the wings. Yeah, I was kind of hoping for a

711
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 5: Jay Wright from Villanova.

712
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people were than they really

713
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 2: were the Villanova Nicks.

714
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 5: Yes, but I applaud him for not wanting to first

715
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 5: of all, celebrate work life on life, as you know,

716
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 5: family that is the most important thing. But I would

717
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:59,320
Speaker 5: have loved to see him reunited with his Nova kids.

718
00:35:59,520 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 4: That's fair.

719
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 2: I also feel like for coaches maybe it's kind of

720
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: maybe not a job you want to jump into, like

721
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: when you're like, well, so when is it enough?

722
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 5: Well, we saw it here in La Frank Bobo being

723
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 5: fired after winning an NBA championship and half the team

724
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 5: was you know, delt Away and that that's the organization's decision.

725
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 5: But this is a leg in which coaches realize they are,

726
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 5: you know.

727
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 3: They're on the move. Yes, why not often? Okay, I'm

728
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: going to start with a do okay, do you're back

729
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: to school shopping? I liked this story.

730
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 5: Out of the Steelers mini camp when Aaron Rodgers first

731
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 5: arrived at the facility, he asked quarterbacks coach Tom Arth

732
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 5: if he could have the playbook printed out, because Rogers

733
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 5: he's an old school guy and he likes taking notes

734
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 5: with pencil on paper printouts, and so Arth then relayed

735
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 5: that message to his administer stradive assistant Chrissy Bulger Bulger,

736
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: I hope I'm pronouncing that right. And so before the

737
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 5: first meeting, Chrissy got a binder. She included a pouch

738
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 5: of pencils, erasers, and highlighters.

739
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 3: But after the meeting, erin who was like, did Christy

740
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: put this together? And and Art said yes.

741
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 5: And he went to her and said, thank you, but

742
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,479
Speaker 5: you can have your your pens and highlighters back because

743
00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 5: I've got my own.

744
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 4: That is the most on brand Aaron Roger story ever.

745
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 5: And he goes, I don't want you to waste pencils

746
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 5: because I'm my own m hm.

747
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 2: So it's not a control thing at all. Probably over

748
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 2: the pencils. That probably just he's concerned.

749
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: Oh here's a funny story.

750
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 5: When I was in elementary school, I remember our teacher

751
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 5: passed out standardized tests and pencils.

752
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: Do you remember number two?

753
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 4: Right?

754
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 5: And she gave us number two Taekwondu rogos, because she said,

755
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 5: these pencils will always lead you to the right answers.

756
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 5: From that point forward through UCLA, when I was filling

757
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 5: out Scantron's always had to have number two taekwondooa. So

758
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 5: I kind of get Aaron's maybe to have his pencils.

759
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 5: Maybe he has number two Taekwondro ghosts.

760
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 2: I think, well, this is going to have to be

761
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: a deep dive that we are going to have to

762
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: look into during the break somewhere.

763
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 5: The investigator one in media, please send me as close

764
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 5: to a zoom up as you can get of Aaron's

765
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 5: pencil collection.

766
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: That's going to be the big training camp story. That's

767
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 4: gonna be a big one.

768
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 3: I have a do for you.

769
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 4: Do celebrate your dog on your shoes.

770
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark, who we have been talking about, who her

771
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 2: team currently of eighty three seventy six on New York,

772
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 2: but her dog Bella is inside the insole of her shoe,

773
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 2: of her Nike Kobe six cotros and I just love this.

774
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 2: There is nothing that will get me to love an

775
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,839
Speaker 2: athlete more than their dog being part of their work.

776
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: Where speaking of which, have you heard of Bruce the

777
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: Dog Okay in the Washington Nationals Organization. Okay, I'm going

778
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 3: to say that.

779
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 5: For later because I think we're running out of time.

780
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 5: But I don't be don't throw a temper tantrum, Rory mceilroy,

781
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 5: don't be a grown man out there on the golf course.

782
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 5: But actually I do love the videos of chucked clubs

783
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 5: and smash tea boxes. So I say that outwardly, but

784
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 5: inwardly I'm kind of rooting for for.

785
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,640

819
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:44,440

823
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,960

824
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:55,760
Speaker 2: it is riveted.

825
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 4: Riveting or riveted, that's how you want to look at

826
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:01,800
Speaker 4: But do you say do you say.

827
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 3: I am riveted? No, you say I am.

828
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:08,160

830
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,080

832
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 4: In the Stanley Cup Final.

833
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: I don't know why I find it so fascinating that

834
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 2: there's no s at the end of final in this

835
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 2: but I brought it up last week and clearly bring

836
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 2: it up again.

837
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 4: But in the final.

838
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 5: Three are certain there are certain sports terms that I

839
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 5: learn that once I am corrected on them.

840
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 4: I never forget it.

841
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: You will never ever forget and this for me was

842
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 2: certainly one of them. Certainly wasn't it wasn't traumatic, but

843
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 2: I will I'll never forget it. Three out of the

844
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: four games, as far have it, which are so are dramatic,

845
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 2: have ended in overtime, which is kind of amazing.

846
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 4: I don't know that you could ask for anything more.

847
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: In a Stanley Cup Final game, Edmonton Oilers overcame a

848
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 2: three nothing a first periode deficit to defeat the Panthers

849
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 2: five to four and sudden death, tying the series at

850
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 2: two to two. Game five is tonight, Nikki. Tell me

851
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 2: what you have been feeling when you watch the cinema.

852
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 5: Thank you, thank you for tapping into my feelings because

853
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 5: I am a newer hockey fan Officionado. I mean obviously

854
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 5: being here in La rooting for the Kings and the

855
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 5: celebration of.

856
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 3: You know them leaning.

857
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 5: You know, when they won a championship I think it

858
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 5: was back in twenty thirteen, or when they won a

859
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 5: Stanley Cup final back in twenty thirteen, well done, and I.

860
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 3: Think that was the year.

861
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 5: But no, no rooting interests and being able to casually

862
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 5: enjoy these games. I have been enthrawled and I think

863
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 5: I am knowing how much it means for not just

864
00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 5: Edmonton and the Oilers, but for the entire nation of

865
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 5: Canada to bring the cup home. Also, just I'm never

866
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 5: one to the repeat champ thing.

867
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 3: I would.

868
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 5: I like it when they're dethroned. Okay, so I think

869
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 5: I'm leaning towards Edmonton in this one. And you know,

870
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 5: Connor McDavid mcjesus as they call him. I love the

871
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 5: fact that they pulled it off in overtime. I mean,

872
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 5: of course both teams have been trading blows in ot

873
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 5: but it's so fun and I mean you can tell,

874
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 5: just like when the defensive shifts are a little gassed

875
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,839
Speaker 5: and then you know, the holes open up and the

876
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 5: goals come. So it I mean, it's awesome.

877
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: Edmonton per Chat GBT at last hosted in case you

878
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 2: guys thought a different chat talking about the Stanley Cup

879
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety when they swept the Boston Bruins in

880
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 2: the finals. So that actually the way chat has said this,

881
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 2: it doesn't make a ton of sense, but it looks

882
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,279
Speaker 2: like Stanley Cup last one and the Edmonton Oilers last one.

883
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: The Stanley Cup in nineteen ninety. That is a very

884
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 2: very very long drought, right.

885
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 5: And the Panthers do have a historic edge when their

886
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 5: series are tied to too. They've won their last three

887
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 5: series that have been knotted up at two two, so

888
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 5: they do know how to finish the job.

889
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 3: They definitely I think a lot of the.

890
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,760
Speaker 5: Hockey world wants to see Connor McDavid mc jesus.

891
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, mcjesus with the Cup.

892
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: It's funny we were talking last week about the Florida

893
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: Panthers and how they're kind of on the verge of

894
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 2: becoming a little bit of like a hockey dynasty, which

895
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 2: is not what you would have expected out of Florida,

896
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 2: because you don't. It's not like you think, oh, hockey Florida.

897
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 3: It's one hell of a drug. That's what Taylor Swift

898
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 3: would say.

899
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 4: You're right, that is, And I'm so glad you brought

900
00:44:58,040 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 4: up Taylor.

901
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 5: Swift, speaking of Whige, speaking of we, we haven't talked

902
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 5: about Taylor yet this afternoon.

903
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 4: We have not welcome.

904
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, welcome to the Taylor Swift for section of the show.

905
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:11,279
Speaker 2: But Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey, who've been spending quite

906
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 2: a bit of time in Florida during their time off,

907
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 2: I guess during that NFL break I spoke of earlier.

908
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: They went to the game the other night, and the

909
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: whole arena was a buzz.

910
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 5: Right, and it's you know, you see all the trolls

911
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,799

913
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,440

914
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 5: people were wondering what there whereabouts were because her visibility

915
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 5: has gotten tremendously down since she's not on the Aras

916
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:49,399
Speaker 5: tour and Travis is not an in season right now.

917

Speaker 5: So right, here's so, what do you like about Game five,

941
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 5: which is tonight for Oilers Panthers and back in Edmonton.

942
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 4: First of all, I would like it to go to overtime.

943
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 4: I want this to be a thing. I think it's

944
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 4: been so exciting and it's going to be all about

945
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 4: Edmonton's goalie rotation.

946
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: Who has the momentum right now? I think Edmonton does

947
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 2: have the momentum. I mean, they bounce back in dramatic,

948
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 2: epic fashion. They're going home. They want to break this

949
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 2: thirty five year drought. I'm pretty into it with their

950
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: ability to do that. I do want a Game seven,

951
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,919
Speaker 2: as I wanted with the NBA Finals, because I don't

952
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: have super strong feelings about e their team, so I

953
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 2: find game seven's really fun unless the Dodgers are playing

954
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: in them.

955
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 4: But I don't know.

956
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: That's kind of what I'm seeing. I think Edmonton's coming

957
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 2: out on top on this one.

958
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 3: Okay, So, and here's another question. Right the Oilers pulled.

959
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 5: Or Skinner, the keeper for the Oilers, was pulled after

960
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 5: giving up three goals. Oilers down three to no they

961
00:47:53,520 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 5: come back. Would you start Skinner in game five? Do

962
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 5: you start Skinner in game five?

963
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: I mean, this is why I'm definitely not the coach

964
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 2: of the Oilers but I'm going to say yes. If

965
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: you're asking what I would do that, I'm going with yes.

966
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm going to I'm gonna play foil to you here.

967
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 5: I think rude, notice kidding, please play Oh no, no, no.

968
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: I think that you know that that signal in the

969
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 5: heat of the series, you don't go back to him.

970
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 5: And also I heard a former player saying this that

971
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 5: when the group of the guys on the ice know

972
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 5: that there is a slightly inferior goalie in the net,

973
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 5: those guys play harder, and they play tighter defense, and

974
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 5: they play more urgently. That's interesting, right, But then again,

975
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 5: maybe you start skinner because you can't go three full

976
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 5: periods playing asking your your guys to play with that

977
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 5: much intensity.

978
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,640
Speaker 4: Though, I'm gonna I'm gonna counter that. Okay, this is

979
00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 4: the Stanley debate, healthy debate to healthy debate. This is

980
00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 4: a Stanley Cup mital.

981
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 2: So they they're going into game five at the most,

982
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 2: they have three more games. I'm not saying it's not

983
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 2: taxing and all the things, but this is the time

984
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: where you have to play with all the energy and

985
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: all the urgency and give it every single thing you've got.

986
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 4: They are home. They want to end this game up

987
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 4: three two.

988
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 5: So okay, I wonder if there have been any announcements

989
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 5: made about who they're starting yet.

990
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: I'm sure there has.

991
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: At this point, I would imagine, But I still think

992
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 2: it's fun for us to debate it and then.

993
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 4: Be told right that we were wrong or or not.

994
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 5: Okay, Nope, it looks like Skinner has been swapped out

995
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 5: of Stanley Cups starts.

996
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 2: Well, this is so, guys, this is how you know,

997
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 2: In case anybody was wondering, I'm not in.

998
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 4: Charge of who was making this decision.

999
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 3: Right, but it is. It is an interesting debate. It

1000
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,439
Speaker 3: is it's the guy who got you there.

1001
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 5: H But if you know when the when the stage

1002
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 5: lights are the brightest and he gives.

1003
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 3: Up three goals in a game four.

1004
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 5: I think I think you got to go with with

1005
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:05,320
Speaker 5: a new face, new energy.

1006
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 4: I guess I think that's true.

1007
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 2: And I guess I guess going to my I'm actually

1008
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: no counter appointing myself. I guess going to my other point,

1009
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: it is the final and so working on his confidence

1010
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,720
Speaker 2: is not your job at this point.

1011
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 4: You're not mid season, So I guess there's that.

1012
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 2: So I have a question for you now all right,

1013
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 2: and I don't know that you are going to have

1014
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 2: any idea what the answer is.

1015
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 4: But can Florida bounce back?

1016
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: We talked about this actually last week with the with

1017
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals, because could OKAC bounce back after that,

1018
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 2: you know, game one loss to Indiana And they did

1019
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 2: and obviously they're professionals and that's what they do.

1020
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 4: But how hard do you think it is?

1021
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 2: Because you know, you and I are in locker rooms

1022
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 2: on fields and courts and it's devastating in those big

1023
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 2: games when they lose. You know, it's interesting. I cover football,

1024
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 2: so it's different. If you lose in a playoff game,

1025
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: that's it. You're not bouncing back for a game two.

1026
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 2: But I still think, you know, it's an interesting thing.

1027
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 2: Is there are they mentally ready for the Does it

1028
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 2: affect them? Is this something that we get to talk

1029
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 2: about as media and fans and it doesn't really affect

1030
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 2: the players?

1031
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts?

1032
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 5: I think I think this Florida Panthers team is ready

1033
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 5: for anything, and I you know, they've they've been tested

1034
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:16,400
Speaker 5: through battle.

1035
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 3: They just need their dairy queen.

1036
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 5: There were reports I think that the games they had

1037
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 5: been having dairy Queen ahead of the night before they

1038
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 5: were winning. So I'm interested to see if they had

1039
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 5: dairy Queen last night, what the dairy queen status is.

1040
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 5: But no, I think when you look at this, this

1041
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 5: Florida team, when and we spoke about them being a

1042
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 5: near dynasty in the making, they they know how to

1043
00:51:45,040 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 5: go into hostile territory and deliver. I wouldn't be surprised

1044
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 5: if they go in and it's uh, you know, a blowout. Again,

1045
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 5: as we saw them bounce back in game what was

1046
00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 5: that Game three two?

1047
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,560
Speaker 3: That it was two game two? What's the blowout?

1048
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,280
Speaker 5: I think so yes, Okay one of they.

1049
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: It didn't Game three was the blou because Game three

1050
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 2: is the only one that didn't go to overtime.

1051
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 3: Okay, great, so right, I wouldn't be surprised.

1052
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 5: But as as we are both rooting for give us

1053
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 5: free hockey.

1054
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 2: Give us, give us overtime, and give us dairy Queen,

1055
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm all in on that. If it could be proven

1056
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 2: that dairy Queen helps you win, I will have dairy

1057
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 2: Queen every night in a show of solidarity.

1058
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 4: You guys.

1059
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 2: We'll be back to talk more about ice cream perhaps

1060
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 2: and all kinds of things.

1070
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 2: We're going to talk a little baseball. We haven't really

1071
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 2: talked about that, yes, which is gonna be fun. We

1072
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 2: are about about a month away from the All Star break.

1073
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,520
Speaker 2: Things heating up a little bit. Big weekend in the

1074
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 2: NL West specifically also a rivalry for you to talk

1075
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: about in a moment. But Giants and Dodgers playing each other.

1076
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,479
Speaker 2: Dodgers lose last night and so now they are tied

1077
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: at first place. The Padres are playing the Diamondbacks. The

1078
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,600
Speaker 2: Padres lost last night, so they're two games back, and

1079
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:30,480
Speaker 2: I just this NL West I think is going to

1080
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: go down to the wire.

1081
00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 4: So although we are.

1082
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 2: In mid June, it's still these are the series to

1083
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: watch and then the Padres and the Dodgers play each

1084
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 2: other again this.

1085
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 3: Week, right, and it's been.

1086
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 5: I mean, it's so funny because I remember an LDS

1087
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 5: last year when it was the Dodgers Padres, and I

1088
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 5: believe that honestly felt like the world, the tensest world

1089
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 5: series that you could argue that was the.

1090
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 3: World going down to five games.

1091
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:59,280
Speaker 5: And it's so we had a lot of talk because

1092
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 5: the Dodge for so long have viewed the Padres as

1093
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 5: their little brother, right, but then the Padres got good

1094
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 5: and that's what makes a rivalry. A rivalry is when

1095
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:14,280
Speaker 5: both opponents have a distaste for each other, a dislike

1096
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 5: for each other. And the series are thrilling. So I

1097
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 5: can't wait for next week's series. And I mean, also

1098
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 5: we've seen it on display too, Yankees, Red Sox.

1099
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 3: Did you see Boone thrown out his gum in the tenth.

1100
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 4: It's so on brand. It's so on brand for a boon,

1101
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 4: you know what.

1102
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 5: He and he's a usc Trojan so as a brewer

1103
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 5: and I expect that behavior from him.

1104
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: I kind of love it, though, I mean, it's passionate.

1105
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: It goes back to the ten per Stantrum conversation. You know, like,

1106
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,280
Speaker 2: if you know they care, the more SaaS the better.

1107
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 2: The more SaaS the better. I would agree with that.

1108
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,720
Speaker 2: So I mentioned it's mid June, and you guys probably

1109
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,760
Speaker 2: also know that by looking at your phone or calendar.

1110
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 2: But some these were about a month away from the

1111
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 2: All Star Game, so I thought it might be fun

1112
00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 2: to pick kind of early, well clearly very early All

1113
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,880
Speaker 2: Star rosters. So I put one together and wanted to

1114
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 2: see kind of your thoughts if you agreed with me

1115
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,920
Speaker 2: on these. So I'm gonna start in the American League. Disclosure,

1116
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 2: I did not pick every pitching spot. I just went

1117
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: with who I thought would be the starter of the game.

1118
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna start in.

1119
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 4: The American League.

1120
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: First baseman, I have Vladimir Guerrero Junior of the Blue Jays.

1121
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm with you on that one.

1122
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 2: Okay, great, Second basement gliber Taurus, Yes, okay, great, And

1123
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 2: I know that anybody who's been listening to the show,

1124
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 2: and you know I'm so hit on the Tigers.

1125
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 4: I think there's so much fun.

1126
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 2: I also had my starting pitchers schooball obviously because tremendous,

1127
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 2: even though I know there's some Yankees pitchers that would

1128
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 2: would have words with me.

1129
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 4: But that's that's well. I mean, you can't, you can't,

1130
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 4: you cannot.

1131
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 3: He's been sensational.

1132
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 4: Okay, now things I think get a little bit interesting.

1133
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:58,680
Speaker 4: At third base, Jose Ramirez the Guardians was my pick.

1134
00:55:58,880 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 3: Okay, do you have.

1135
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:05,240
Speaker 5: As as of yet we are aligned. Okay, I'm interested

1136
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 5: to see who you have shortstop at shortstop?

1137
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 4: Well, lucky for you, that's next time.

1138
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 5: But I know that's that's why I was like, I

1139
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 5: don't want to say that I'm not debating anything because

1140
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 5: I've got a couple couple of positional challenges and I

1141
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 5: think shortstop it is definitely one of them that could

1142
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 5: go a few ways in the coming weeks.

1143
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 4: But right now I have Bobby Wood Junior from the Royals.

1144
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 5: All right, so I have two compelling candidates who you

1145
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 5: can take an argument for.

1146
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 3: Tell me Jeremy Pania or Jacob Wilson.

1147
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 2: Okay, I think you could make an argument. I think

1148
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 2: you could make an argument for either of them. There

1149
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 2: are very few positions where at this point that I

1150
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 2: think are just slam dunks, like this is who it

1151
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 2: is and that's that. But I think you could definitely

1152
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 2: make an argument for either of those guys.

1153
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 5: I mean, and Paynya has the advantage to in looking

1154
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 5: at his offensive stats, He's got nine home runs, What's

1155
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 5: got eight? Panya one thirty nine ops and three point

1156
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 5: nine war So, I.

1157
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,760
Speaker 4: I don't know, you know, I don't.

1158
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 5: I don't, right, And that's obviously going to evolve over

1159
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 5: the next couple of weeks as well.

1160
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, let's go to the outfield where this is

1161
00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 2: where many people are going to have an issue with me.

1162
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,520
Speaker 4: But part of this iment with my heart.

1163
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 2: I'll go with the two that just made the most

1164
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 2: sense of is the Aaron Judge Yes, and uh Stephen

1165
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 2: Kwant from the Guardians. And then I picked because because

1166
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 2: he's my favorite and I couldn't I already know for him.

1167
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 2: I picked Cody Vellinger, and I'm not saying he actually

1168
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 2: should be there, but he's the all start.

1169
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: It's fun and that's what your fandom to test. Well.

1170
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 2: When I vote for the LSCAR game, I totally just

1171
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 2: vote as a fan. I don't anything except like, oh

1172
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:42,520
Speaker 2: I like him.

1173
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 4: I like that's the.

1174
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,520
Speaker 5: Fun of it, absolutely, and I think that's why you

1175
00:57:46,560 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 5: get some faces and names in these all star games

1176
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 5: where fans do get to vote there, You're like, huh,

1177
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 5: how'd they arrived there? Well, okay, but I think Byron

1178
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 5: Buxton in Minnesota is a compelling.

1179
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 4: Probably more of a can thank Cody Valin.

1180
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 2: But if Cody Vellinger makes it, you guys will know

1181
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: that I voted all five times from various email addresses

1182
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 2: got him there by Tracy's.

1183
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: Got eighty three Burner emails.

1184
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 4: To get at least to get Cody Velan.

1185
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 5: He's also voting on behalf of her mother and her

1186
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 5: father and her dog dogs of dogs. Oh no, oh no,

1187
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 5: Cody Bellinger is going to be in the outfield for

1188
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 5: Ale All Stars.

1189
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 4: If he is. You know, it was one hundred percent me. Okay,

1190
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 4: and Catcher, I have cal rally of the Mariners.

1191
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 2: Okay, and d h Rafael Devers. Yes, and we mentioned schoolball.

1192
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna go into the NL where there's

1193
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 2: one position. I really did not vote as a fan,

1194
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 2: so we can get to that at first base. I

1195
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 2: know you you could make a really good argument for

1196
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo or Freddy Freeman.

1197
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 4: It probably should be Pete Alonzo. I'm gonna go with

1198
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 4: Freddy Freeman.

1199
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,040
Speaker 3: I knew, I knew that one was coming.

1200
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, traces, let's do a little check here,

1201
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 5: so I would it's close though very Alonso is just

1202
00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 5: he's been on a tear.

1203
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 2: Yes, he has definitely been on a tear, so it's

1204
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 2: definitely close. But I still couldn't vote against Freddy Freeman

1205
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: for anything. Frankly, so there was that second base could

1206
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 2: tell Marte, Yes, okay, third base, you guys.

1207
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 3: This is what where her fandom comes into.

1208
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 4: So actually it didn't this. I put down my.

1209
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: Least favorite baseball player ever, the man who I've never

1210
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 2: met in my life, but dislike so dramatically for someone

1211
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 2: I've never met my life.

1212
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 3: Rational fan behavior.

1213
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 2: Manny Machado can't argue with that one. Yeah, that's the

1214
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 2: nobody couldry. And it took everything. Even writing his name

1215
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 2: on my notes upset me. But it is it is

1216
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 2: what it is, all right, shortstop Francisco Lindor, Yes, okay, outfield,

1217
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: I think you should be proud of me for not

1218
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 2: putting Anti pat has in there. Pete crow Armstrong, who

1219
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: is having just like the most incredible season, Corbyn Carroll

1220
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 2: and James wind.

1221
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 5: Right wonderful, And a little note on Pete Krowmstrong I

1222
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 5: met him when he was in high school at Harvard

1223
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 5: Westlake here in LA.

1224
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 3: And I think it was it was COVID.

1225
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 5: Okay, you know, we were doing our stories around how

1226
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 5: athletes were finding ways to train when you couldn't be

1227
01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 5: in the.

1228
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 3: Gym, right, okay. So to see him.

1229
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 5: Go from that experience to I mean in Harvard Westlake

1230
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 5: just cranks.

1231
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 4: Out majorgue baseball players.

1232
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 3: And I just it's really cool to see him rise.

1233
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 4: To this level. That's that's awesome. We love a local kid,

1234
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 4: well local to us here.

1235
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 2: And starting a starting pitcher, starting picture of skins, yes,

1236
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 2: catcher Will Smith and then d H I mean I

1237
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: know that. I mean, come on, there's no I mean

1238
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 2: it's obviously sho obviously.

1239
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 3: Well and I had a okay, so speaking of Skins.

1240
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I just had a little bit of

1241
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 5: a Pittsburgh like, what are we doing? Okay, let's go

1242
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 5: stat here for you. So Schemes struck out five batters

1243
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 5: and had four hits across five shutout innings. He was

1244
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 5: denied the decision when the Pirates bullpen blew a late

1245
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 5: won nothing lead, and so now he has recorded the

1246
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 5: fewest number of wins, which is four by a pitcher

1247
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 5: who's started their season with a sub two hundred er

1248
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 5: through fifteen starts since Major League Baseball integrated in nineteen

1249
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 5: forty seven. That's just more like Pittsburgh, Like you have

1250
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:41,920
Speaker 5: this generational arm and this is what you're supporting.

1251
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that daughters do it to Yamamoto,

1252
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: who did not patrol last night, but he gets so

1253
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: little runs support and ends up with many a no decision.

1254
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 2: But you know who makes really great decisions. That would

1255
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 2: be Martin Weiss, and so we are going to go

1256
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 2: to him for update.

1257
01:01:57,040 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 6: Break right updating everybody. Caitlyn Clark, she is back in

1258
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 6: a big way. One two to eighty eight. The Indiana

1259
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 6: Fever beat the New York Liberty. Liberty that's their first

1260
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 6: loss of the year, nine and one on the year,

1261
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 6: Fever five and five. Clark finished with thirty two points,

1262
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 6: was eleven for twenty from the floor, seven to fourteen

1263
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 6: from three all near triple double with eight rebounds in

1264
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 6: nine assists. And I had a big first quarter, big

1265
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 6: first half, Sabrina, I'd ask you. Finished with thirty four

1266
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 6: points to lead all scores in Major League Baseball. Top

1267
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 6: of the fifth inning Angels Orioles tied three apiece to

1268
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 6: Phillies with a two to one lead over the Blue Jays,

1269
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,440
Speaker 6: White Sox with a two to nothing lead over the Rangers.

1270
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 6: In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Mets in

1271
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 6: the Raids finally got started at the top of the third.

1272
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 6: That one was in a rain delay for quite some time.

1273
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 6: Scoreless there, Twins Astros tie two a piece in the

1274
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 6: top of the sixth inning. Bottom of the fifth, the

1275
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 6: A's lead to Royals three nothing. Bottom of the fourth

1276
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 6: on that fst one Cardinals with a four to one

1277
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 6: lead over the Brewers, and the Braves with a three

1278
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 6: to nothing lead over the Rockies. In the NHL, the

1279
01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 6: Oilers have made a goalie change. Calvin piccard will get

1280
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 6: to start over Stewart Skinner game starts. Game five starts

1281
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 6: at five pm Eastern and the US Open, JJ Spond

1282
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 6: and Sam Burns tied for first at three under Spawns

1283
01:03:19,440 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 6: through whole eight Burns through seven. Alone in third is

1284
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 6: Carlos Ortiz one under and he's the fifteenth old Tyro

1285
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 6: had Adam Scott tied for fourth there. Even those are

1286
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 6: the only five golfers either even or below par. It

1287
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 6: has been a rough stretch out there at Oakma for

1288
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,919
Speaker 6: the US Open in the NBA. The New York Knicks

1289
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 6: planning to meet with former Kings coach Mike Brown and

1290
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 6: former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins next week, their head

1291
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 6: coaching job obviously still vacant. The Knicks actually had interviewed

1292
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 6: Mike Brown in twenty twenty before deciding to hire Tom

1293
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 6: Thibodeau and the Houston Rockets and Guards I'm sorry, Houston

1294
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 6: rocketson center Steven Adams have agreed to a three year,

1295
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 6: thirdion dollars extension.

1296
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,400

01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 2: I am super excited to bring on our next guestic

1307
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 2: colleague that I get to see.

Speaker 4: Often throughout the year.

1309
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 2: Tim Kawakami of San Francisco's standard, Tim, Welcome to Fox

1310
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:41,440
Speaker 2: Sports Saturday.

1311
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 8: Hey, good to be here. Trace. Yeah, we do see

1312
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 8: each other a time or two. Have a week yes,

1313
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 8: all good? Yeah, all the four camp.

1314
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 2: Lots of time before our camp, and now we are

1315
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 2: on our break. Even though Nikki doesn't believe it's actually

1316
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 2: an NFL break, I don't.

1317
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 5: I don't think there is such thing as off season

1318
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 5: when it comes to NFL new and updates.

1319
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 3: Tim.

1320
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 5: But Tim, I don't know if you would recall this,

1321
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 5: but I probably shared a scrummer two with you back

1322
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 5: in the twenty sixteen Warriors Thunder playoffs in.

1323
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 3: The Western Conference Finals.

1324
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 5: I was just beginning my career out there in ok

1325
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 5: See and growing up in Santa Barbara. I was well

1326
01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 5: aware of your work and love reading your stories on

1327
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 5: the Warriors as well.

1328
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 8: That was a hell of a series, I thought, that's

1329
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 8: for sure, twenty sixteen Western Conference Finals. I think a

1330
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 8: lot of people remember that.

1331
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 5: One, right, the series that ended up shaking up the

1332
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 5: landscape of the league as we know it.

1333
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,960
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, Kevin Durant might have changed things a little

1334
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 8: bit after that, well monumental.

1335
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 3: On that note, I want to ask you, where's he

1336
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 3: going to be next year? Where do you think Kevin's

1337
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 3: going to end up?

1338
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, you never can predict with Kevin. I definitely definitely

1339
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 8: decided to try to get out of that game. It

1340
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 8: wasn't one hundred percent sure he was going to end

1341
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 8: up with the Lawyers, and so he said he was

1342
01:06:03,600 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 8: going to Lawyers and then obviously to Brooklyn after that,

1343
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 8: and they traded to Phoenix. I think San Antonio or

1344
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 8: Houston make a lot of sense unless he's like thinking, hey,

1345
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 8: I get to the East and you know the West

1346
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,320
Speaker 8: is loaded and it's only going to get more loaded.

1347
01:06:18,360 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 8: Maybe that would be a path out and maybe the

1348
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,800
Speaker 8: Knicks or there's another team with two out there. I'm

1349
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 8: thinking Southwest. I'm thinking Spurs have a lot they can trade.

1350
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 8: They can PLoP them right and then well living on

1351
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:32,000
Speaker 8: with them. Whether they you know, they keep the two

1352
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:34,120
Speaker 8: pick and they can add another player to that, they

1353
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 8: could really all of a sudden be a championship level team.

1354
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 8: I think the Rockets is exactly what they need, you know,

1355
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 8: a go to score. We saw the blues of the

1356
01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 8: Lawyers in the ploffs and you know that everything except

1357
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 8: for a guy that you can just throw the ball.

1358
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 8: And last time that's before court and go get a bucket.

1359
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 8: And obviously, Kevin Durant, you could probably maybe the number

1360
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,080
Speaker 8: one guy in history of the league where you could

1361
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 8: do that. So I am looking at those two, but

1362
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 8: I never know with him, I never know. I just

1363
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 8: think that the younger teams that could just use a

1364
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 8: score and have some extra picks, That's how I'm kind

1365
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 8: of thinking this, and can trade a younger veteran or

1366
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 8: two that's got some value. To me. It feels like

1367
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 8: Houston or San Antono. And I've been wrong with Kevin

1368
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 8: many times before, so he's a little grant of fault there,

1369
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 8: or two or three or four brands and fault. I

1370
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 8: don't know that. I don't know that Durant knows for sure,

1371
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 8: but those two seem like the best fit in my opinion.

1372
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 2: All right, Well, you guys talked about the twenty sixteen

1373
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 2: Western Conference Finals and Nikki mentioned it changed the landscape

1374
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 2: of the league. I look at this NBA finals, Tim

1375
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 2: and Shai Gilgus Alexander.

1376
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 4: I always am afraid I'm going to say that wrong.

1377
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 2: And Tyrese Halliburton, whoever's team wins, do they become somewhat

1378
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,080
Speaker 2: the face of the league.

1379
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 4: A bigger face in the league and what are your

1380
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 4: thoughts on that.

1381
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think the Thunders kind of set up almost

1382
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 8: either way. Obviously you lose, things could go wrong there.

1383
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 8: You never are guarant another trip back. But they're so young,

1384
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 8: they're so talented. You know, Shay is just twenty six

1385
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 8: years old, MVP. I think he's only going to get better.

1386
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 8: Chet Holmgren's twenty two I think could get a lot better.

1387
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 8: They have so many other draft picks they can make moves,

1388
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 8: Like if they lose this, and I don't know that

1389
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 8: they will. I think they probably will win, but we'll see.

1390
01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 8: The story becomes like when's you know, the story isn't

1391
01:08:23,240 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 8: maybe even so much about Indiana, which should be about Indiana.

1392
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,040
Speaker 8: They're playing incredible, they are young, but it's almost like,

1393
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 8: can Okasey ever do it? What's going on here? And

1394
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 8: I think that becomes at least you know, it's not

1395
01:08:35,080 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 8: a New York or a Lakers, but that becomes a

1396
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,719
Speaker 8: pretty compelling basketball story. This could have been their breakthrough,

1397
01:08:40,920 --> 01:08:44,599
Speaker 8: still might be their breakthrough. When is that going to happen?

1398
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 8: Do they make a huge move to try it? I

1399
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:48,719
Speaker 8: don't think they're getting the ramp back but they could

1400
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 8: do something to get somebody maybe to fix their a

1401
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 8: couple of flight problems they've gotten. I think the Pacers

1402
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 8: have kind of, you know, exposed some things they could use,

1403
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 8: one more like handler unless Jalen Williams is really going

1404
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 8: to take step updated roll, which he did at the

1405
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 8: end of the game last night. There's a few things

1406
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 8: you could say the Thunder could get better at. If

1407
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,120
Speaker 8: they don't win it, I think that becomes a huge story,

1408
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:15,639
Speaker 8: like what are they going to do? They have all

1409
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 8: these draft picks, they have all these young players. What

1410
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 8: could they do to make a durant like move like

1411
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 8: the Warriors did in sixteen up and they win seventy

1412
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 8: three games and lose in the finals. Again, I don't

1413
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 8: think it Thunder getting KD back, but they could do

1414
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 8: something on a level like that, like what throws seven

1415
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 8: picks in and two players and go get you honest, Like,

1416
01:09:35,439 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 8: they could do stuff like that. I think if they

1417
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 8: don't win. If they win, then becomes yeah, how many

1418
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 8: are they going to get? And it might you know,

1419
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,200
Speaker 8: the Larwriors got four. I think you look at Thunder

1420
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 8: and say, okay, can they get to four? Can they

1421
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 8: get more than four? And you know, the counting starts

1422
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 8: is a lot easier if you start with one right away.

1423
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 8: And I think they're headed to that. I think it

1424
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 8: might take seven, but I think they're still store because

1425
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 8: they have so much talent, they have so much room

1426
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,879
Speaker 8: to grow, They have so many future first round picks

1427
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 8: that the story of the league is going to be

1428
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,160
Speaker 8: told in a lot of ways through the Thunder the

1429
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 8: next three, four, five, six years, even if they don't

1430
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 8: win this. And I think they actually are going to

1431
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 8: win this, so everything's going to be thinking.

1432
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 5: Okay, see Tim, I tend to lean towards what you're

1433
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 5: saying as well.

1434
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 3: And it's funny you can make the.

1435
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 5: Hyperbole that this could be the worst iteration of the

1436
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 5: Thunder that we see.

1437
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 3: Over the next several years.

1438
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 5: But I want to give some love to Indiana, and

1439
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 5: I think that this is a team that since January

1440
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 5: has just gotten better and they've improved. And it's not

1441
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 5: just the come from behind, you know, can't count us

1442
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 5: out type of play that Tyrese Haliburton has put on display.

1443
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 5: But there's something they are doing in these games too.

1444
01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 5: I guess the fuddle to kind of put a stop

1445
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 5: in what the thunder have done so well all season long.

1446
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 5: What is it and what do they need to tap

1447
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 5: into in a Rockets game five.

1448
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, they're gonna they can score like that's the thing

1449
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:12,160
Speaker 8: that was in the place of the pace to play

1450
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,600
Speaker 8: very solid defense, better defense certainly than they had at

1451
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 8: least the start of the regular season. They throw waves

1452
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 8: at you, and they're just so confident shooting the ball.

1453
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 8: That's what I've been struck. We've seen all these teams

1454
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,519
Speaker 8: that get to the playoffs from their score score score,

1455
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 8: and they get the playoffs, and when they faith an

1456
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 8: opponent and game plan against them the game after game,

1457
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,879
Speaker 8: they wear down and the shooting kind of gets shaky.

1458
01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 8: And the Pacers they take those shots and they don't

1459
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 8: hit every one of them, but they're very confident. I

1460
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 8: think Halliburton clearly is the leader of the pack. They

1461
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 8: follow what he does. He's an incredibly confident player. Pascal

1462
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 8: Siakam is incredibly confident player, you know, a champion. I

1463
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 8: just think that they have this looseness about them that

1464
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 8: allows them to rise up more often than not in

1465
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 8: the last four or five minutes down. They did not

1466
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 8: do that last night in Game four, which proved to

1467
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 8: be a very big problem when you have both KC

1468
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,800
Speaker 8: just keep coming and coming. And you know, I don't

1469
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 8: think the Thunder played their best game. But then shape

1470
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 8: did you know SGA delivered in the lot in the

1471
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,240
Speaker 8: fourth quarter. That's what MVPs are supposed to do. It's

1472
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 8: what the best player in the league, best score in

1473
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 8: the league is going to do. We had to see it,

1474
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 8: and he had to do it, and he did it.

1475
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 8: Now I do think like the Pacers have given him

1476
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,639
Speaker 8: every bit of you know, like they've got to play great.

1477
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 8: Speak the Pacers. When they have not played great, they

1478
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,640
Speaker 8: have not won. And I don't guarantee that anything's that

1479
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 8: happened the next you know whoever, you know, they got

1480
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 8: three more games that probably it's Mike go seven. But

1481
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:44,960
Speaker 8: I think the Thunder are the better team. They're the

1482
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 8: more talented team. You got to do it. At the end

1483
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 8: of the game, they blew one of them and they

1484
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 8: took on one of them. So which is kind of

1485
01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 8: even that way. Guess what even Series two two, going

1486
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:58,240
Speaker 8: back to going back to Oklahoma City, I just what

1487
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 8: I like about the Pacers is there confidence I've you know,

1488
01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 8: I cover the Warriors, so I see a lot of

1489
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 8: Warriors things and other teams. Sometimes it's that it's that

1490
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:10,799
Speaker 8: early Warriors, Clay and Steph just we're gonna take the shot.

1491
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,640
Speaker 8: We're taking the shot. We're you know, if it goes in,

1492
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 8: it goes out, but we're going to take the shot

1493
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,000
Speaker 8: and feel that it's going to go in. You have

1494
01:13:18,080 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 8: to shoot it confidently for it to go in to

1495
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 8: have any chance. Seeing sometimes when like even the Thunder,

1496
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 8: they get a little tight shooting the ball. Sometimes they're not,

1497
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 8: sometimes they are. I think with the Pacers they're never tight.

1498
01:13:32,040 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 8: They might screw up, the ball might not go in,

1499
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 8: but they're not tight, and that takes you a very

1500
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 8: long way. Obviously a lot of talents too, but they

1501
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 8: are a loose they are you know, they are in

1502
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 8: your face team, and you know, in the last five

1503
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 8: minutes of a game that tends to really be two

1504
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,560
Speaker 8: key things. Again, they blew it, then blow it. I

1505
01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,960
Speaker 8: shouldn't say they didn't blow it. They did not play

1506
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 8: well in the last three or four minutes. Last night,

1507
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,479
Speaker 8: Hey Oklahoma said, he's really good. They make you not

1508
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 8: play well. But the Pacers are the kind of loose team.

1509
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 8: I think that really bugs Oklahoma City. If they were

1510
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,440
Speaker 8: a little more methodical. If they were a little more structured,

1511
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 8: I think the Thunder might have had an easier time

1512
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 8: with them. They are not structured, and that's to their

1513
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 8: huge benefit of the series.

1514
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 4: I agree with you.

1515
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,600
Speaker 2: I think it is going to go seven games, but

1516
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 2: would love to hear what you think is going to

1517
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 2: happen in Game five really quick before we had to break.

1518
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, I would think the Thunder going to win that game.

1519
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 8: You know, they're a very good home team. Again, they've

1520
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 8: lost one in this series, but I think that defense

1521
01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 8: in Oklahoma City forces teams to do to play at

1522
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,920
Speaker 8: such a high level to play so for sise, it's

1523
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 8: very hard to maintain for four quarters. I think the

1524
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,040
Speaker 8: Thunder win that game. I think the Pacers win Game six,

1525
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 8: and then I think they come back to the Oklahoma

1526
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,559
Speaker 8: City for Game seven and who knows on that one.

1527
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 4: All right, you heard you here.

1528
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 3: Nothing better in sports than a game seven. We love Tim.

1529
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for joining us. Tim.

1530
01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 2: You guys, we will be back. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

1531
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 2: We are coming to you live from the Fox Sports

1532
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 2: Radio studios. I am Tracy Sandler here with Nikki Kay

1533
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 2: for one of my favorite parts of the show, especially

1534
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 2: this week, it is the feel good stories of the week,

1535
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 2: good vibes only. I'm gonna warn everybody here that on

1536
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 2: my way here, I was explaining the story to my

1537
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 2: mom on the phone and I may have teared up.

1538
01:15:26,760 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 2: So I just want everybody to prepare themselves that it

1539
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 2: could happen. Now Over in Washington, they called up Bruce

1540
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,599
Speaker 2: the bat Dog from Rochester and he was the bat

1541
01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:44,400
Speaker 2: dog for the Washington Nationals today. And I don't think

1542
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 2: i could love anything more in the entire world.

1543
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 3: I've got goosebumps. Bruce is this adorable.

1544
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:56,760
Speaker 5: Golden retriever And if you do your research, you can

1545
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 5: find Bruce the Batdog on Instagram.

1546
01:15:59,680 --> 01:15:59,960
Speaker 4: He is.

1547
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 3: He was in the miners, yes he was, since he

1548
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 3: was a puppy, a little a little golden fluffball. He

1549
01:16:06,760 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 3: was retrieving bats in the snow of Rochester. Yes he was,

1550
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 3: and bringing them home. And what did the Washington Nationals do.

1551
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 3: They made a call up.

1552
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 4: They did.

1553
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,599
Speaker 2: They made it this week and they called him up

1554
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 2: and he has a little handkerchief and there's a debut

1555
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 2: decal on the handkerchief. Unfortunately, the Nationals lost to Day,

1556
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 2: but that's their fault that had zero to do with Bruce,

1557
01:16:29,560 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 2: because that's just the way that went.

1558
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:33,480
Speaker 3: Icon Bruce's debut.

1559
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, is Bruce rivaling decoy is the Major League

1560
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 4: Baseball of the dog icon As.

1561
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 5: A person who has grown up with nothing but Golden

1562
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 5: Retrievers in their home, I think Bruce is just perfection.

1563
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 4: He's definitely perfection. He was you guys. He's so cute

1564
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:48,840
Speaker 4: and if you.

1565
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 2: Watch the video about him, it says that he's had

1566
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 2: a goal. He was a puppy and he made his

1567
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 2: goal and he guys, it's really hard to get from

1568
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,799
Speaker 2: the miner easy.

1569
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 4: No, it is not all that snow.

1570
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:02,320
Speaker 3: And Bruce had a dream. It dream became reality.

1571
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:06,519
Speaker 5: So I would argue that Bruce has a home and

1572
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,839
Speaker 5: a fan base in Rochester that truly appreciates how special

1573
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 5: he is. So even if his stay in the show

1574
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 5: isn't isn't long, I think, you know, a periodic call

1575
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,120
Speaker 5: up is all that he would want in life.

1576
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,600
Speaker 2: I think the National should move his family from Rochester

1577
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 2: to DC so that Bruce could be the bat Dog

1578
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 2: from now until eternity.

1579
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 3: I've seen crazier things.

1580
01:17:28,280 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 4: I'm just throwing it out there. It was you guys,

1581
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 4: I didn't cry.

1582
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 2: I mean, if I may be teered up a little,

1583
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 2: but I just this it's just too too fabulous. So

1584
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,439
Speaker 2: that is my big feel good story of the week

1585
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 2: that will keep me smiling for quite some time.

1586
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 3: I love it.

1587
01:17:42,280 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 5: Mine's in the US Open. Philip Barbary Junior. So in

1588
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen he won the US Junior Amateur with a

1589
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 5: thrilling comeback when this is his second US Open since

1590
01:17:58,520 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 5: twenty eighteen.

1591
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:03,200
Speaker 3: He's playing with his wife Chloe on his bag.

1592
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 5: She's not carrying the bag, okay, but she's his de

1593
01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 5: facto caddie. And he had to begin today because yesterday

1594
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 5: round two play was suspended because of weather. Today, if

1595
01:18:15,439 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 5: he did not make a five foot putt to start

1596
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 5: the day, he wouldn't have played on.

1597
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 3: And he made the putt, and so now he's playing

1598
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 3: through the weekend.

1599
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 5: And you know, I just I love opportunities with the

1600
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 5: majors showcasing stories like that and celebrating golfers who are

1601
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 5: like I am.

1602
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm here, I'm playing here.

1603
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 5: And another cool story is because there was an odd

1604
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 5: number of players in the field, Oakmont had to name

1605
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 5: a marker, so that's like just a club member, so

1606
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 5: Oakmont pro. Well in this time it's a golf brother,

1607
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 5: Devin Gee or g playing as the marker alongside Philip.

1608
01:18:57,040 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 5: So I thought, I thought, that's a fun story all around.

1609
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 5: Goodbye vibes.

1610
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,160

1611
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:07,920

1613
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:11,839
Speaker 3: Has he been knighted?
