00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: Nashville Studios. Aaron Torres. I was out last week. All right,

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 2: this is now a tradition. When I'm out, generally they

10
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: let Arnie Spanier come in for some strange reason. What

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: was Arnie's wildest take from last Saturday that I missed?

12
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 2: In America may have missed if they weren't listening.

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to think. I'll get back with you.

14
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: I've got to go back and look at the rundown

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 3: from last week's show and then I could probably remember it.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: First Off, congrats to your huskies, Thank you, thank you.

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: On the back to back titles. How was the Final

18
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: four experience?

19
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: Well, year, I'll tell you this and we're gonna talk

20
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: about it later. The Final Four experience was amazing. The

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: issue was you know, you know, I get into town

22
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: for media stuff Wednesday nights, so you know, you've been

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: to a lot of major sporting events. It turns into dinners,

24
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: get togethers, whatever. So Wednesday night, Thursday night, Friday night,

25
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: you know, our late nights. And then Saturday, I'm at

26
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: the arena until frankly, you guys were going off air

27
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: as I was leaving. I had just a lot of

28
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: media stuff. So I'm sitting there thinking, Okay, Sunday is

29
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: finally the day that I'm gonna go ahead and catch

30
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: up on some sleep, catch up on whatever. And at

31
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 2: about what about nine pm Eastern time, our buddy John

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: Caliperry decides we'll be the Kentucky head coach anymore. So

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: that turned into scramble mode. And then Monday was the

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: definition of first world problems. Is was at the arena

35
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: till probably about eleven local time, and my mom was

36
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: actually in town because my mom is a Yukon of

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: lum as well. Hadn't spent much time with her, so

38
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 2: I went to see her at the Yukon victory party,

39
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: which was obviously at the team hotel, and so I

40
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: you know, I wasn't drinking I wasn't partying whatever, but

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: I had a six am flight, got home at two.

42
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: By the time I was done packing, it was three,

43
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: so I slept from about three. So I got no

44
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: sleep on Sunday thanks to Caliperi, and then I slept

45
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: from about three to three forty five before I had

46
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: to head to the airport. So we're talking about a

47
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: combined probably five six hours of sleep on Sunday and Monday.

48
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: But listen, we love what we do. I'm fortunate enough

49
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 2: to have watched my alma mater win a sixth national

50
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: championship of my lifetime, third that I was in attendance for.

51
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: So again, the definition of a first world problem is

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: when you only get forty five minutes of sleep one

53
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: night because you gotta go see your mom at a

54
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 2: national championship celebration.

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, all right, well, I mean, you know, there's.

56
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: Not that too many tears falling down the not.

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: A ton of sympathy, but it does sound like it

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 3: was awesome, and I knew that was a fun time

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 3: for you, especially with them winning.

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: Again.

61
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 3: I wish we could have gotten forty good minutes Monday night,

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 3: but Yukon just wasn't having it. They weren't having it

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: with any team. I think Alabama may have given him

64
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: the best run because they gave him about thirty two

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: good minutes or somewhere in that neighborhood. Produe played a

66
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 3: great first half, Edie looked like a beast, and then

67
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 3: in the second half the fingerprints that were all over

68
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: the first half for him just disappeared, like all of

69
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: a sudden. It was like the assailant or the thief

70
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: had wiped the place clean and there were no fingerprints

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: left to be found until the garbage time stuff that

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: he got at the end. It was just that team

73
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: is going to go down as one of the one

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: of the greats, and they should. But I also think

75
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: they're going to go down as one of the greats

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: that that was just kind of overlooked all the way through.

77
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: We knew how good Florida was by the time they

78
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: came back and one championship two.

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: I think it's just maybe.

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: A function of where college basketball finds itself now that

81
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: this Yukon team didn't have all the household names for

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: the mass public. Like, yes, certainly the hoop heads knew

83
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: what was going down and understood, but this, if this

84
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 3: had happened twenty years ago with that same roster. I mean,

85
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 3: we would be not just talking about it here flippantly

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: to open the show, we would be doing an hour

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: on it all week long across all of all of media.

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: And that's certainly not what happened.

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, and there's a lot to get to.

90
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: You know, there's a lot that has just happened this

91
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: last week. I do want to ask you some questions though,

92
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: just just as a Yukon guy. But I'll say this

93
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: first of all, your last point, I think has been

94
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 2: my point for about eight weeks now. When you know,

95
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: it became pretty clear pretty early that Yukon was capable

96
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: of doing this going back to back, and what I

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 2: said consistently, and I kind of kept this take kind

98
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 2: of in my breast pocket because you know, you don't

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: want to put it out before Yukon does win it.

100
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 2: But I said, I actually thought the the back to

101
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: back run was underrated. For this reason is that, you know,

102
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Florida and O seven was an incredible team. And you know,

103
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: I'm not into you know, we have to compare and

104
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: where does this rank all time, all that good stuff,

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: But Florida is an incredible team. The whole narrative of

106
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: that team was that they returned all five starters off

107
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: of a title team. But O sex and and and

108
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 2: you know, and so a couple things.

109
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: One.

110
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: Dan Byron mentioned this to me the other day. I

111
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: think I thought it was a great point one. He said.

112
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: The analogies are kind of comparable in that six Florida

113
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 2: kind of surprised everybody wins it, and then the next

114
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: year was like the all time great team. And I

115
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: think there's a parallel there with Yukon. But I'll say

116
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: this for Yukon really quick, is that I thought it

117
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: was underrated all year because this isn't you know. The

118
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: whole narrative is, oh, they went back to back. Okay,

119
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: that's a really cool story. What nobody is talking about.

120
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: What I still didn't feel like people talked about enough

121
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 2: over the course of Monday night into Tuesday was that

122
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: they lost their three best players off last year's team.

123
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: And I understand, as you said, college basketball it's not

124
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 2: a mass appeal sport outside of four or five weeks

125
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: in late February to early April and most of March.

126
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: But you know, Florida returned all five starters. The ninety

127
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: two duke team that went back to back return four starters. Obviously,

128
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: the Wooden era teams was a time when players basically

129
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 2: stayed until their eligibility was done, and I know during

130
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: some of that time freshmen were in eligible. I just

131
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: feel like Yukon losing its top three players somehow being

132
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 2: better and going back. I just still feel like people

133
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 2: haven't talked about it enough, just the fact that they

134
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: lost their top three players from last year and were

135
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: somehow better this year.

136
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: Look, I think that's a great point and it needs

137
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: to be mentioned more. Because, yes, that Florida team, we

138
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: knew they were household names because they all came back.

139
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 3: I think that actually speaks more to what Danny Hurley

140
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 3: has built. Sure, if you're able to reload like that,

141
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: there are very few programs in any sport, very few

142
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: teams in any sport. If you want to look at

143
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: the pros that could do something like that, that is

144
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: saban ish. That's the kind of thing that an Alabama

145
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: would do when they would send five or sixty guys

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: to the first round of the NFL Draft and then

147
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: they'd be right back in the title picture the next year.

148
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: The fact that in a sport where there's less guys

149
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: on the floor, which means if you lose three, if

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: you lose your three best players, you've lost three fifths

151
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: of your starting lineup. And then to come back and

152
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 3: win by an average of twenty three and a half

153
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: points and have a thirty point lead, I think in

154
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 3: every game leading into the final four, at least at

155
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: some point, that is insane. Yeah, I mean it really is,

156
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: like that is That's an excellent point that I hadn't

157
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 3: even really thought of in the moment. Yeah, we know

158
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: we're watching different guys, but the fact that they reloaded

159
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: immediately one again with a with a team that is

160
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: nothing like the one that was there last year, and

161
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: maybe we're even more dominant this time around, that is

162
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: a huge feather in the cap.

163
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,679
Speaker 1: To Danny Hurley, really.

164
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: Quick, let me ask you this and we'll save the

165
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: masters talk and just how awesome this month is here

166
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: for the other side. But let me ask you this,

167
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: what did you make of this year's men's NCAA tournament.

168
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: We'll talk about Kaylyn Clark and the women later, but

169
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: I'm probably too close to it. See, I was highly

170
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: entertained because a lot of the best teams made it

171
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: deep into the tournament. You had literally the two best

172
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: teams in the tournament according to the seedings, playing for

173
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: a championship. You had a Purdue Tennessee game in the

174
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: Elite eight that was very entertaining, Yukon against the Big

175
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: ten tournament champ in Illinois with probably a first round

176
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: pick and Terren Shannon. So, I enjoyed the NCAA tournament,

177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: but I did hear a lot of well, we really

178
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: had no upsets outside of Oakland, Kentucky in round one,

179
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 2: and then obviously, you know you and obviously Yukon winning

180
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: it all in the manner that they did really took

181
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: away a lot of the excitement of any type of

182
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,599
Speaker 2: close games for the eventual champion. Now to your point, Alabama,

183
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: I thought played the game of their lives and they

184
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: just ran out of gas the final about seven minutes.

185
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 2: But you know, what did you make now, now that's

186
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: in the rear view mirror, what did you make of

187
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 2: this tournament? Knowing that there were no big upsets, that

188
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: basically the championship game was essentially the chalk you know

189
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 2: of the pre tournament, and of course Yukon's dominant manner

190
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: in which they won the whole thing.

191
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that what you got was a

192
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 3: champion that felt like a champion. Yes, and that's important

193
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 3: because so often with a tournament that can be so chaotic,

194
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: you can arguably find the right mix and the right

195
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: matchups all the way through the thing, and if you're

196
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 3: hot enough, you can win the thing. It's incredibly hard

197
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: to win. But does it crown the best team or

198
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 3: the most worthy champion every year? No, I don't think so.

199
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 3: I don't know if any sport does. But a one

200
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: and done makes it much harder in terms of the

201
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 3: NCAA tournament and the way that you have to of

202
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 3: advance and play through that tournament. I think that I

203
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 3: just came to a different feeling about the NCAA Tournament

204
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: this year than I've had in years past. And it's

205
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: not a negative at all. As a matter of fact,

206
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 3: I think I've just kind of resigned myself to a

207
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 3: different thought because I have been the one and I've

208
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: done it with you several times, arguing that what you

209
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: really want is not the upsets. You want the thread

210
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: of upsets, and then you want the favorites to advance,

211
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: because then you get the blue Blood matchup. We had

212
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: that Blue Blood Final four a couple of years back,

213
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: and of course, yeah, like you get Yukon and Purdue

214
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 3: winner of that game, becoming a champion feels right. I

215
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 3: still believe that I haven't changed that thought.

216
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: But I asked the question to Arnie last.

217
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: Week, and the reason why is because it had been

218
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 3: nagging at me, and I think I had to come

219
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 3: to a I had to admit something about it.

220
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,719
Speaker 1: It is is the.

221
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: Tournament more about who wins it or about the first weekend?

222
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: Or is it just about the experience of that, Like

223
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter five years from now. Who's going to

224
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: know outside of the hardest core fans who won it

225
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: five years ago? And who's gonna remember the big moments

226
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,599
Speaker 3: to happen along the way, The Ali Farut Meneshes of

227
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: the world, the Bryce Drews of the world, the Drew

228
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: Nicholas shot that beat UNC Wilmington that then Maryland went

229
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: on to beat Indiana that year for the national championship.

230
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 3: The Tias Edney play all of those kinds of things.

231
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: Sometimes they lead to titles, but the tournament seems more

232
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: self sustaining than that, And I thought I just felt

233
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 3: like it almost doesn't matter, Like I almost just want

234
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 3: the chaos in the first couple of weekends for the entertainment.

235
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: Value that that provides.

236
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 3: Even though when you get to the final four and

237
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 3: you don't have the big dogs, there's a give and

238
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 3: take there. But I think it's I think it's closer.

239
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: I think if you actually asked people, the final four

240
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 3: means less now than the tournament as a whole does,

241
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 3: or at least I think that's a discussion that's now

242
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: worth having.

243
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: Now it's true. It's true, and I think that the

244
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: first weekend is always going to be well received because

245
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: everybody has a bracket, this and that, and I do

246
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: think it could be a best of both worlds where

247
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 2: you get those memorable moments. But I do still think

248
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: it's good for the tournament if you have most of

249
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: the big brands still playing on that second weekend, because

250
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: because what I have found is that you know, even

251
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: as somebody who loves this sport, is that listen. I mean,

252
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 2: let's go back to last year. I mean I could

253
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: sit here and lie I caught knowing that they were

254
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: really good. I caught a Florida Atlantic game over the

255
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 2: course of the season because I felt like, Okay, this

256
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: is a team I might have to know a little

257
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: bit about whatever. But I didn't know Florida Atlantic the

258
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 2: way that I knew Tennessee this year, Arizona this year,

259
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: or North Carolina or Alabama. These teams that even if

260
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: they lost in the Sweet sixteen or at LIT eight,

261
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 2: at Elite eight, at least they were there. So that

262
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 2: is why to me, by the way I did enjoy

263
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 2: the tournament is I know there were I don't think

264
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 2: there was any true buzzer beaters. Not I think there

265
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: was one to tie a game, to send it to

266
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 2: over the touch right and then, but other than that,

267
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: there word out. But I enjoyed the fact that we

268
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 2: got Perdue versus Tennessee in an entertaining Elite eight game,

269
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 2: as opposed to Purdue. You know, Florida Atlantic, Purdue, San

270
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 2: Diego State, whatever, and it turns into a forty point

271
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 2: blood bath. And then to your point, I will say

272
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: about the championship game. You know, obviously, look and if

273
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: anyone's listened to us in this timeslot, they know that

274
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 2: I've been a little bit critical of Purdue. But that

275
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: was kind of my takeaway is like Perdue, I know

276
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: there's no moral victories, especially when you make it that far,

277
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: but there is a saving grace of like, there was

278
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 2: just one we took care of everybody else, there was

279
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 2: one team that was literally better than us, and and

280
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: Yukon was very clearly the best team. I think there

281
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: is a very compelling argument that Purdue is almost certainly

282
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 2: the second best team, especially Houston with all their injuries whatever.

283
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: So it so that to me is why I did

284
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: enjoy it. Is because, like you said, we got a

285
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: champion that was worthy. And then whether it's Yukon going

286
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 2: through Illinois and this team and that team whatever, or

287
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Purdue that a team that I've been critical of, but listen,

288
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: they went through a very good Gonzaga program, a very

289
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: good Tennessee program, and they made it to the championship game.

290
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: There was nothing fluky about it. They deserve to be there.

291
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: They ran into a better team. So for that reason, Jason,

292
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 2: I did find it to be an entertaining tournament. But

293
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: I understand the people that live and die by the

294
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: buzzer beaters and the super memorable memories, and I think

295
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 2: probably the memories really quickly of this tournament I would

296
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: probably say are Zach Eaty's dominance and then Yukon's dominance.

297
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: That's probably the two that would probably stand out and

298
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: would stand the test of time.

299
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think so too. And I think

300
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: that the topic we'll get to about coach.

301
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: Cal Kentucky's loss and then that then being kind of

302
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: the swan song for a long standing, big time career

303
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: of a big time coach at that university. I think

304
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 3: that ends up standing up as well. I will say

305
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: real fast that, Yeah, there's a give and take, and

306
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: I like having Again, I still believe that having the

307
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: big brands is important late. I also am one that

308
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: believes the best week of the NFL season is Divisional

309
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: Round weekend, not Championship weekend, and not the Super Bowl,

310
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: but Divisional round weekend and the weekend of the NCAA

311
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: tournament that I get the most enjoyment as a basketball

312
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: fan out of is the Sweet sixteen and the Elite Eight. Similarly,

313
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: it's not the Final four and it's not the title

314
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 3: game anymore. It used to be the Final four, but

315
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 3: it hasn't been in the last handful of years. I

316
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 3: think when you get to the Sweet sixteen, and especially

317
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 3: if you can give me an Elite eight, where it's

318
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 3: brands like you mentioned Tennessee and Purdue. That's where I

319
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: don't really want too many of the little guys because

320
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 3: it harms my ability to look at a matchup and say, man,

321
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: that is juicy, Like I don't want to have to

322
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 3: learn who guys are and then follow them in the

323
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 3: Elite eight to watch them lose by twenty Like that's

324
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 3: no good to me at all.

325
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: So I guess we can leave it there.

326
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 3: But I do think that obviously from a rating standpoint,

327
00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: it did extremely well. It wasn't the best tournament I've

328
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: ever seen, but I certainly got a lot of enjoyment

329
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: out of it.

330
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: Well, the NCAA Tournament is done, we are not done

331
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: talking college hoops. Will revisit the John Caliperry stuff and also,

332
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: of course the record setting women's NCAA tournament. We're gonna

333
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: discuss all that coming up. But we also want to

334
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 2: discuss the NCAA tournament into the Masters. One of the

335
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: great transitions in all of sports, and it leads to

336
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 2: the question, is April actually the best month on the

337
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: sports calendar just might be? We'll discuss that next Fox

338
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: Sports Radio.

344
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 4: five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing. We

345
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 4: never have enough time to get to everything we want

346
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: to get to.

347
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 6: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

348
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 6: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

349
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 6: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

350
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 6: because this guy is over promising things we never have

351
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 6: time for.

352
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, you blubber Lita and me.

353
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know what it's called over promise. You should

354
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: be good at it because you've been over promising women

355
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 4: for years.

356
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 6: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we

357
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 6: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

358
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 6: be talking sports, of course, but we're also going to

359
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 6: talk life and relationships. And if Rich and I are

360
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 6: arguing about something or we didn't have enough time, it

361
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: will continue on our after show called over Promised.

362
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 4: Well, if you don't get enough Covino and Rich, make

Speaker 4: the way, So maybe We'll go at it even a

365
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

366
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:34,200

Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Aer Tors, Jason Martin.

372
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from the tyreq dot com studio.

373
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: Just spent some time talking about the men's basketball tournament

374
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: which has wrapped, which, of course course leads right into

375
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: another incredible sports weekend every single year. This year is

376
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: no different. As of course, immediately following the Final four,

377
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 2: we turn our attention to Masters Week. Jason, First of all,

378
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: I want to ask you a question about the entire

379
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: month of April. But you love golf, obviously, Scotty Scheffler

380
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 2: has a one stroke lead going into the final weekend

381
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: or final day. Excuse me, what has stood out to

382
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: you about the on the course product here over the

383
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: last couple of days.

384
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: I mean, the course is as usual, the star, but

385
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: Scheffler being there already being number one in the world,

386
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: the success that he's already had at that course.

387
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: One thing that you learn about Augusta if you watch

388
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 3: golf a lot, and especially if you watch this tournament annually,

389
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 3: there are some guys that just get this course and

390
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 3: they dominated their entire careers. That doesn't mean they win it,

391
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: but they just they score every single year. And like

392
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 3: I remember famously, Jose Maria Ola Fobble, he won a

393
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: green jacket. I can't remember. I think I was in

394
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: high school. Maybe I was in middle school at the time,

395
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: but I remember when he won it, and then he

396
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 3: would come back and nearly win it again later on

397
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: in life. And he was somebody that you didn't really

398
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 3: know all that much about and ended up becoming a

399
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: legend because of how he played there. There's just some

400
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 3: people where that course is built for now Tiger, we understand,

401
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 3: and there are some guys where almost any course seems

402
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: to be built for them. But Scheffler is just so

403
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 3: straight with his irons. He's good off the tee, he's

404
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 3: solid on the greens. I think the most amazing story

405
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: about this is the fact that his wife, Meredith, could

406
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: go into labor at any point and he said he

407
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: will leave the second he gets to that phone call.

408
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: No matter what.

409
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So if he leaves that that'll be the story

410
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 3: of the year in sports.

411
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: Okay, So we got to talk about this really quick.

412
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: So I had kind of you know, listen, I was

413
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: traveling this week whatever, and I have a responsibility here

414
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: to Fox Sports Radio. But I will readily admit that

415
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 2: this story slipped through the cracks for me, frankly, I'll

416
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 2: be honest until I was listening to Martin and VJ

417
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 2: the last hour. So for people who have missed this,

418
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 2: Skotty Scheffler's wife is nine months plus pregnant and she

419
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 2: could go into labor anytime. And he has said that

420
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: if she goes into labor at any time, that he

421
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: is leaving the Masters. You know, kind of the no

422
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 2: questions asked. I'm out, Jason, you're your father of two,

423
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: I'm a father of zero. I'm not here to criticize

424
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: any man, any decision, any whatever. What do you think

425
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: I mean? This isn't let's be clear, and this is

426
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: no disrespect intended to parenthood, to fatherhood, to whatever. But

427
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 2: this ain't uh, you know, a Thursday at whatever, you know,

428
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: some tournament in an Akron, the bridge Stone Open or

429
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: whatever it used to be called Firestone. Yeah, there you go.

430
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 2: I knew he was named after attire.

431
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: It was bridge Stone, but Firestone of the course.

432
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 2: Look at me, I'm all a mister golf guy. Okay,

433
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: So this is Sunday of the Masters and you have

434
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 2: the lead. This isn't let me let me. I want

435
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 2: to make sure this is not Sunday of the Masters

436
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: and you're in seventh place.

437
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: Yep.

438
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 2: This is if he gets that phone call right now,

439
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: or if like, what what would you do if you

440
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 2: were him and you got that phone call at whatever

441
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: time tomorrow? Be honest, I mean.

442
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 3: You you have to have gone through the birth of

443
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 3: a child to understand the moment and everything goes into it.

444
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: I think the question I would have is, if this happens,

445
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: does Meredith say, do not tell him?

446
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: Ooh that's interesting to me.

447
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 3: That's that's that's where I go, because I know she

448
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: understands his career and how valuable. I mean, look, he's

449
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: twenty seven, and he's really good, and he's gonna be

450
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: really good for a long time. I mean, he won

451
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 3: the Mass there is back in twenty twenty two. You

452
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 3: don't get an opportunity to do this very often. She's

453
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 3: been with him now she got I think they got

454
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 3: married in twenty twenty, so.

455
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: I think it's possible she holds this back.

456
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: Wow, that's an interesting twist I hadn't thought about.

457
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: That's been my.

458
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 3: Theory on it is he could find out that he

459
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: won the Green Jacket and then find out he also

460
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 3: is a father officially that that could be the moment there, because.

461
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't think this is how it would go. But

462
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: I think there would.

463
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: Be the danger in my own head if I'm Meredith

464
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: and I'm in that situation.

465
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: Luckily I'm not, but.

466
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 3: Where you don't want to be responsible when you could

467
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 3: have controlled the outcome here. If you go into labor,

468
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: first off, you don't know how long labor's going to last.

469
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 3: It could last an hour, it could last three days.

470
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: Imagine if he runs home to be with you, which

471
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: first off super laudable and I completely understand that, and

472
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: I would I feel like I would do the same,

473
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 3: But I also think how terrible would that be If

474
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 3: you're still sitting there Tuesday and you don't have the

475
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 3: child yet the child comes on Tuesday. You could have

476
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: somehow done both. It's an impossible.

477
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: Situation to be in.

478
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 3: It seems unthinkable that you would be on like the

479
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 3: eighth green with a two shot lead on Sunday at

480
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 3: the Masters. You'd get the word from the caddy she's

481
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 3: gone into Labor, and you would just jump in the

482
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 3: jump in the nearest cart and leave the course right there.

483
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I actually think that would be one of

484
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 3: the most memorable things to ever happen in the Master's Tournament.

485
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 3: Maybe more memorable than him winning. It would be him

486
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 3: leaving like that would be something unprecedented and something you

487
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: might never see again. It would make history, and it

488
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: would feel like such an awesome story. And then there

489
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 3: would be some people, probably some that that are paid

490
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: by the same people we are erin that would then

491
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 3: during the course of the next week call him a

492
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 3: complete idiot for making that move. It is, it's just right,

493
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 3: this is perfect. Like I hope it doesn't happen to him.

494
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 3: I hope that that you know, Labor holds off long

495
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: enough for this to you know, for him to go

496
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: ahead and win if he's gonna win, or certainly have

497
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: the opportunity to win. But imagine what's on his mind

498
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 3: right now with everything going on like it's it's kind

499
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 3: of amazing to me he finds himself in this place,

500
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 3: especially considering early in the back nine on Saturday.

501
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: He was too over.

502
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: He ended up really playing well down the stretch while

503
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: other guys faltered around him and put himself, you know,

504
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: with the fifty four hole lead, all by himself going

505
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: into Sunday. It's just an incredible story. I can't wait

506
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: to see how it ends.

507
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I was just made aware of this

508
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 2: a couple A couple quick thoughts on this one. I

509
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: think if if he chose two in the middle of

510
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: the round, I think certainly it'd be a big story.

511
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: If he chose if he left, you know, before the round,

512
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 2: or if he found out as he's walking off the

513
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: eighteenth green, Hey, she held this from me and he

514
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: skipped the ceremonies and this and that. If he left

515
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 2: during the round, I think that's one of the most

516
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: talked about sports stories maybe ever ever. I agree, because

517
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: that's something that just that transcends sports on such a level.

518
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: I mean, even something like Caitlin Clark right, like she

519
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: can transcend women's basketball. But you still have to be

520
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: a baseline basketball fan to care about what Caitlin Clark's does.

521
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 2: If if Scottie Scheffler walks off the course with a

522
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: chance to win the most prestigious tournament on the court,

523
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: it'd be like Lebron leaving Game seven of the NBA

524
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: Finals if his wife went into but like, that would

525
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: be one of the biggest stories I think in the

526
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: history of sports. Really quick, let me ask a dumb question.

527
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 2: Wait a sec, way, a sec go ahead ahead, I'm

528
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 2: all here.

529
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 3: There's an even I think there's something even different, even

530
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 3: more important there. Lebron would be leaving a team behind, right,

531
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 3: Scotty Scheffler, this is all him, Like if he were

532
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 3: to leave, it's an individual sport, so he's taking himself

533
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 3: completely out of the equation. Like the idea of letting

534
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 3: a team down and all this, I think it might

535
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: be perceived a little bit differently. I would say this,

536
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 3: Scotty Scheffler becomes a bigger star no dad walks off

537
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: the course than if he finishes. Even if he were

538
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 3: to finish with like a record sixty or something like

539
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 3: that and won the tournament, it wouldn't matter.

540
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't care what you score tomorrow. You're not going

541
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: to be on the view.

542
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 3: You're not going to be on Good Morning America and

543
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 3: all the You're not gonna be on all of the

544
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: main line shows. You'll you'll have a couple of media appearances, certainly,

545
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: but a lot of it's still going to be in

546
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 3: the sports world. You walk off the course with the

547
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: lead at the most pristine event in the sport where

548
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 3: even if you don't know golf, you know what the

549
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: Masters is.

550
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: Sure because you just do.

551
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 3: If you do that, he's on every talk shows, he's

552
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 3: got late night invites.

553
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: He becomes a star.

554
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 3: For doing the thing that isn't what he's paid to do.

555
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 3: And I think that it becomes it just becomes such

556
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 3: a larger story than sports at that point in time.

557
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 3: Not that I think you factor that in if you're

558
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 3: him in this moment, but that becomes sort of the

559
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: benefit of it. You might not win the second Green Jacket,

560
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: but holy cow, you might also be on the cover

561
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 3: of People magazine next week.

562
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what, man. You know, it's funny.

563
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 2: Pat McFee, obviously, a guy very popular in our business,

564
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 2: always says do it for the brand. It's like you

565
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: talk about the brand being on fire. I mean, you know,

566
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: at that point you're not just repping titleists and whatever

567
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 2: your rep right, diapers and whatever. That is incredible to

568
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: think about. I hadn't thought about how much it would

569
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: help it help the brand, No, And I think there

570
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: is some truth to it because even as a die

571
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: hard sports fan, I'm not the biggest golf guy. I

572
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 2: know the name Scottie Scheffler, but I don't know the

573
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: backstory and the this and the that. But he becomes

574
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: a household name. My wife knows him, my mom knows him. Whatever.

575
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: One last question, and this is gonna sound like another

576
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 2: weird way to talk about myself, but I have well,

577
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: I'll just say it. My sister, My little sister is

578
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 2: literally currently in labor right now, Okay. And I'm not

579
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: saying it's to like patting myself on the back or

580
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 2: congratulations or whatever I say it, because I did not

581
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: realize how long the labor process is. So what is

582
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: like a normal timeframe? And I think that's an important point, right,

583
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 2: So like if they rush her in at say eight am,

584
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: uh you know, augusta time on on Saturday, on Sunday morning, Like,

585
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: what is the realistic time of when that baby's coming out?

586
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 2: And I know everybody's a little bit different but but

587
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: just how.

588
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 3: It's totally different, and I mean, man like my circumstance

589
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: because I have a three week old right now as.

590
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here doing this show.

591
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: You know, my wife went out on a Wednesday afternoon

592
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 3: for her regular checkup with somebody.

593
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: She went to school with is she's a.

594
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 3: Pediatrician herself, and her doctor and classmate was just kind

595
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 3: of like, you're dilated, you need to go to the hospital.

596
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: Like we thought we were going thirty nine weeks, it

597
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 3: ended up being thirty six.

598
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: So we end up leaving at like.

599
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 3: Six pm that night local time, get to the hospital

600
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: and checked in sometime around seven, seven thirty. She's had

601
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 3: the epidural by midnight.

602
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: And the baby's born at two am. So it just depends.

603
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: Our first baby we induced and it took over. It

604
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: took about twenty four hours to get to that point

605
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 3: and a long protracted labor. What we found out this

606
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 3: time was my wife had been in labor the entire

607
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 3: day and didn't even know it. So it is so

608
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: it's so hard to answer that question, Like I don't

609
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 3: don't even know what I would say, six hours, twelve hours,

610
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 3: It depends, Like for her sake, I hope it is

611
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 3: short for everyoneman's sake. I hope it is short because

612
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: it is. It's hard to watch your wife in the

613
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 3: in that scenario like that. This time was much easier

614
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: for us than the first time. So I don't know.

615
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 3: I maybe we can look it up during the break

616
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 3: and see, like, what the if there is some kind

617
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 3: of a general rule of thumb, but it just feels

618
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 3: so individual.

619
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. I'll do one better if

620
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 2: and please do not. This is not the time for

621
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,959
Speaker 2: the prank call. If you are a listening ob yn,

622
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,600

703
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 2: much lighter topic. Did you see what happened in the

704
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 2: Lakers Grizzlies game on Friday night? And no, we are

705
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: not talking about the final score. We'll discuss that next

706
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.

707
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

708
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,959
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. Fox Sports Radio, Eric Torris, Jason Martin,

709
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Tyrek dot Com studios. By the way,

710
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 2: j mart we did have one person call in who

711
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 2: said that he has delivered two babies despite not being

712
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: a doctor. So that raises all right, that raises a

713
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: whole other set of questions. I don't know if I

714
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: want answers to. I'm just gonna be perfectly honest. It's

715
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 2: gonna be perfectly honest. We are, of course talking about

716
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler, who is leading the Masters by one stroke.

717
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: His wife is also due to go into labor here

718
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: in potentially the next day, and he said before the tournament,

719
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,359
Speaker 2: he said that if she goes into labor, no questions asked,

720
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 2: he's out. And so we'll see what happens. You know,

721
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 2: maybe maybe we'll get some breaking news here in our

722
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: in our our window here between now and two am

723
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 2: Eastern time before Bernie Friday follows us. Uh, what a world?

724
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: What a world?

725
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 2: Speaking of what a world? You see what happened in

726
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies Lakers game last night? By the way the

727
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 2: saga have your head set on. We may need some

728
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: context here, But so Grizzlies and Lakers played on on

729
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 2: Friday night. There were two air balls to end a

730
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 2: possession in the third quarter with one fourteen remaining. The

731
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 2: shot clock was mistakenly reset and essentially somehow, some way disagre.

732
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 2: Maybe you can explain this better that I can. But

733
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 2: they played an extra one minute and six seconds of basketball.

734
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: So last night the Grizzlies played the Lakers, and there

735
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: was not forty eight minutes of regulation. There was actually

736
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 2: forty nine oh six of regulations. So to Sega, you're

737
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 2: probably watching the game. I wasn't watching live.

738
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 7: Continually amazed that a group of Memphis Grizzlies who I've

739
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 7: liveredly literally never heard of in my life were leading

740
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:40,959
Speaker 7: the Lakers at the time.

741
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 2: Timmy Allen, who wasn't even a good college player, is

742
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 2: in this article that I'm reading right now.

743
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 7: They had thirteen injured players tonight. They came this close

744
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 7: to beating the Lakers. But the problem was that the

745
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 7: error with the clock was not noticed in real time,

746
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 7: so instead of retroactively and that was the problem the referees,

747
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 7: stats crew, game clock operator. There are so many checks

748
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 7: and balances here and it blew through all of those.

749
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 7: So the clock showed too twenty it should have been

750
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 7: one fourteen left after the shot clock violation unbelievable, So

751
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 7: they just couldn't resolve it in game because of as

752
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 7: I say, so multiple everybody fell asleep groop bears. Yeah,

753
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 7: well that's probably happened at Grizzlies games this year.

754
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 2: Quite literally, So how does that happen?

755
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: Think about last year? Think about last year for the

756
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 3: Grizzlies compared to this year and two years ago, specifically

757
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 3: because obviously JAW had some issues late last year.

758
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 7: But with the Lakers in recent history, yeah, absolutely.

759
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, how many I mean they've made the I think

760
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: that they made the West Finals one year, right with

761
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 2: this group, I don't know, but yeah, JOW will be

762
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 2: back next year. But I've just never heard of this.

763
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 2: You know, what it reminds me of is is the

764
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 2: Women's tournament the three point line that it was just

765
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: they were playing with the wrong three point line.

766
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 7: Multiple games, multiple days in Portland.

767
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 2: And it took it took until you know, two days

768
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:00,399
Speaker 2: later for them to figure it out. So I don't

769
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: even I still don't even fully understand how this happened.

770
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,800
Speaker 2: So they didn't reset the clock. I'm still a little confused.

771
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 7: And by the way, it was the conference semifinals a

772
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 7: couple of years ago. Yeah, and then last year the

773
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 7: first round with players.

774
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: Well, the good news is the score they they in

775
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 2: the extra one to oh nine, each team scored two points,

776
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 2: so like it didn't skew the outcome of a game

777
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: with the Lakers, by the way, sitting in the eighth spot, uh,

778
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: you know, trying to you know, they're pretty much locked in.

779
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 7: Didn't we see in college hoops in the last few

780
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 7: weeks that there had to be a reset of the clock,

781
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 7: and it either took a possession away because they went

782
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 7: backwards on the clock. It was something like that I

783
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 7: remember in college, not NBA. I remember it in college

784
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 7: hoops just in the last month, which means it would

785
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 7: have been a tournament game. But usually if you can

786
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 7: catch the thing as the game's going, they try and

787
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 7: make it right. I remember sitting behind the scorers table

788
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 7: once when covering an NBA game and Joey Crawford was

789
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 7: the referee, and they they told him either at a

790
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 7: timeout or a free throw, kind of sheepishly. The guy

791
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,719
Speaker 7: at the scorer's table tells the referee, Hey, we we

792
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 7: missed this thing with the clock. It was just running

793
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 7: on its own and wed you know, they wanted to

794
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 7: correct it, but too much time had passed and he

795
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 7: the referee, looked frustrated and you know, kind of gave

796
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 7: it a we can't do anything about it.

797
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask the dumb question. So this happened in

798
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 2: the third quarter. Let's say it happened in the first

799
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: quarter and they caught it at halftime. Would they play

800
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 2: like a ten Imagine? Yeah, I was gonna ask they

801
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: want to play like a ten minute fifty you know

802
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 2: whatever it be, fifty four minute third quarter or something

803
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 2: like that.

804
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 7: Boy, that would just be bad. I mean, I know

805
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 7: you'd get free basketball, so to speak. Yeah, bang for

806
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 7: your buck.

807
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: Nobody's looking for that for no basketball.

808
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

809
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 2: Did they catch it during the game or after the game.

810
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 7: It was after the game, not identified in time as

811
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 7: what they said in the in the release.

812
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. I don't really have much to add.

813
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: There's nothing else to say other than that's baffling.

814
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 8: It is.

815
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,280
Speaker 7: I appreciate the transparency. It's like the last two minute

816
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 7: reports that the NBA this call was missed, that call

817
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 7: was missing. I appreciate knowing, at least I'd rather know

818
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 7: than not know. But this is strange, very strange.

819
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: Lakers currently in the eighth spot. The Memphis Grizzlies have

820
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 2: been eliminated from the postseason. Twenty seven and fifty four

821
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 2: over all final day of the NBA regular season tomorrow,

822
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 2: A lot going on. Okase currently atop the West standing,

823
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 2: ever lost.

824
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: To us about that as much as we'd like, By

825
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 1: the way.

826
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 7: Denver might have been played played their way out of

827
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 7: the one seed last.

828
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: Night, Insane without and one body I'm has done for

829
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 2: the year. Jay Jamart, you said you want to talk

830
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: NBA playoff standings? Is that what you said?

831
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 1: I'm just excited my thunder number one in the West.

832
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: It's been a couple of lean years, but it's getting

833
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: better around our parts.

834
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: Okay, see one Minnesota, two, Denver in the three spot.

851
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 2: So we open the show talking a little bit about

852
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 2: the men's NCAA tournament comes to a completion, you kind

853
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 2: as your national champion, and I think there are mixed

854
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: thoughts on if it was, you know, how good of

855
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,280
Speaker 2: a tournament was it. Was it a good time tournament,

856
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 2: a decent tournament, whatever, Bring it up, because at least

857
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,359
Speaker 2: from a ratings, viewership, and interest standpoint, don't think there

858
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: is any doubt that the women's tournament, you know, and

859
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 2: not only met expectations, it exceeded it. The championship game

860
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 2: last Sunday, featuring of course, Caitlin Clark and the Iowa

861
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 2: Hawk guys alongside the undefeated and eventual national champion South

862
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 2: Carolina Game Cocks, drew eighteen point nine million people, most

863
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 2: watched women's game ever. I believe I saw it was

864
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 2: the most the second most watched women's sporting event ever

865
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 2: excluding the Olympics. So basically all sorts of record ratings

866
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: in review. No, there's a lot to peel back there

867
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 2: in the future. Women's college basketball in the future of

868
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: the WNBA with Kitlin Clark, but really quickly. I will say,

869
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: I'll give credit to Caitlin Clark for bringing in the fans.

870
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 2: You know, I was out in Phoenix, and as I

871
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 2: mentioned in Now you know, my mom was in town

872
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 2: for the Final four. We found a bar to watch

873
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 2: the game. The place was packed. Everybody was intrigued and

874
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: interested in the game, and it feels like pretty much

875
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 2: universally everywhere was much the same. Did you get a

876
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: chance to watch it? Was it an event for the

877
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: Martin family to catch the Iowa South Carolina women's game

878
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 2: on last Sunday.

879
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 3: So I will tell you this, I actually went out

880
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 3: of my way, actually my entire family, my wife and

881
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 3: I both did.

882
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: We watched the LSU Iowa game, and then.

883
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 3: We stuck around and we ended up watching the USC

884
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 3: Yukon game afterwards, at least part of it.

885
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't think we watched all of that.

886
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 3: Then we watched or then I watched Yukon and Iowa

887
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: in the Final four and at least kind of kept

888
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 3: tabs on what was going on in the other game.

889
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 3: And then actually the National title game I only saw

890
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 3: bits and pieces of because I was otherwise occupied but

891
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 3: I was keeping my eye on the score and watching things,

892
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 3: so it definitely look it proved its point in the moment.

893
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark is box office. We wanted to pay attention,

894
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 3: and we did. It was a Sunday afternoon without a

895
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 3: ton of competition. But I think the bigger point is this,

896
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 3: This felt like the moment to watch this sport that

897
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 3: will never come again. It felt like a moment in time.

898
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 3: It felt like this is one you want to have

899
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,960
Speaker 3: been a part of in some way, shape or form.

900
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 3: Because it's not going to happen again, doesn't mean we

901
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 3: haven't had great players of Leah Boston, Diana Tarrossi, Sue

902
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 3: Bird who you know, the list goes on and on

903
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 3: in you know, players that had outstanding college careers, Brandon Stewart,

904
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 3: whoever you want to mention here, Britney Griner. But nothing

905
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 3: like this, The way this was covered, the way we

906
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 3: watched it all year, the various records, the amount of

907
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 3: articles that were written, the storyline dating back to the

908
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: LSU game last year with Angel Reese and all of that,

909
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: like this was just different, and unfortunately for women's basketball,

910
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 3: this to me was the peak of the sport and

911
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 3: I don't see it getting back here because you can't

912
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 3: duplicate this.

913
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 1: You couldn't. You couldn't if you tried.

914
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 3: You hope if you're the WNBA that you can catch

915
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: just some of the.

916
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: Drift off of this and carry that a little ways.

917
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 3: I have my doubts that I think there'll be a

918
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 3: curiosity factor early on, but they maximized what they had.

919
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 3: They put on a very good product. I thought that

920
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,240
Speaker 3: Yukon Iowa game was outstanding entertainment. I enjoyed that Lsu

921
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 3: Iowa game a lot as well. That was a fun,

922
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 3: dramatic environment. It was a loud crowd. I thought the

923
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: commentary was good, Like everything about the product really really

924
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 3: works for me. And I knew as I was watching it,

925
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 3: this is the peak, Like this right here is not

926
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 3: going to be the same next year. If there will

927
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: be some that will come back hoping for that, and

928
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 3: it just won't the same because Caitlin Clark, this story

929
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 3: and everything that surrounded it were so unique. I call

930
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 3: this the ultimate Unicorn moment.

931
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 2: So it's interesting and and by the way that you know,

932
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 2: it's not a knock on women's basketball to say that,

933
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the highest rated NBA game in the history

934
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: of the sport was Michael Jordan versus Utah ninety eight.

935
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 2: They've never matched that since then. That's not a knock

936
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: on the NBA. It's just a reality. I tend to agree,

937
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: and you know, I think it was it was the

938
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 2: perfect storm, as you said of it was really a

939
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: two year story, right. I mean, and you mentioned the

940
00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: LSU National Championship game last year, but you can go

941
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,280
Speaker 2: back to the South Carolina game in the semi final

942
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 2: where at the time, you know, people forget but South

943
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: Carolina was undefeated, you know, going for a national championship,

944
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,200
Speaker 2: going for back to back national championships. I believe they

945
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 2: had a like a seventy seventy five game win streak.

946
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: Whatever Iowa was kind of deemed as well. They got

947
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: this one girl that scores a lot, but whatever they

948
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 2: got shot, they pull off the upset. Then you're now

949
00:47:02,760 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: intrigued to watch them play LSU. LSU wins. You have

950
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: the Caitlin Clark versus Angel Reese stuff that you know,

951
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 2: they say isn't a big deal, but whatever, it was

952
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 2: clearly in the moment a big story. Then they both

953
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: come back. Then you have Caitlin Clark setting the scoring record,

954
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 2: and and and you know, I mean from the TV

955
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 2: viewership perspective, it couldn't have worked out anymore perfect because

956
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 2: you have the rematch of the national championship game in

957
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 2: the Elite eight. You have Iowa Yukon in the final four,

958
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: which is obviously you know, Yukon was the brand of

959
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 2: previous years, It's not so much anymore. Page Beckers was

960
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark before whatever point, right, and then you have

961
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 2: South Carolina. So I guess what I would say is

962
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 2: I do tend to agree with that is that's not

963
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 2: a knock on women's basketball. But it was like this

964
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:53,240
Speaker 2: perfect two year arc where you knew all of the characters.

965
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 2: And one thing I will say, and I know, I'm

966
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 2: a men's college hoops guy, and so I'll sound like

967
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 2: I'm probably a homer this and that of like, oh,

968
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: you just love men's college hoops. You're trying to crap

969
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: on the women's game. I'm not. But the one thing

970
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 2: I will say is I keep hearing this about the

971
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: women's game. It's like, well, you know, I mean the

972
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 2: reason that the women's is this, this, this, and this

973
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 2: is because you get to know all the players and

974
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, let's have an honest conversation about that,

975
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: because I'm pretty sure next year you're gonna know two players,

976
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 2: Juju Watkins and Page Beckers. That's probably it. You're not

977
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: gonna watch Iowa because Katon Clark's not gonna be there.

978
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: You're probably not gonna know anybody on LSU because Angel

979
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: Reese and Haley Van Lift are gone. I mean, it's

980
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 2: great that I can name these players off the top

981
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 2: of my head, but it's just the truth. And so

982
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 2: it's not a knock on the women's game to say this,

983
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: But I agree Jason Is it was a perfect moment

984
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 2: in time. It seems essentially unreplicable. But I do want

985
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: to ask you and we'll switch gears if you have

986
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: anything to add on the women's game, feel free. But

987
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: from the WNBA perspective, because I remember talking about this

988
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 2: weeks ago with you, is I did see that this

989
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 2: week CBS is now a partner of the WNBA multi

990
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: year agreement. They will have games on the main CBS

991
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 2: as well as twelve games on CBS Sports Network. And

992
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 2: that's obviously the Caitlin Clark effect, right, I mean, it

993
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 2: is what it is. Yes, do you think.

994
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 3: Look, I mean, I mean they already said they're building

995
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 3: the schedule. The television schedule is largely being built around

996
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,240
Speaker 3: the Indiana fever because everybody knows where she's going.

997
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 2: Do you like, and I remember asking you this a

998
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: few months ago, It's like, is this women's Basketball's Magic

999
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: Versus Bird moment? You know, the highest rated men's college

1000
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 2: game ever was Magic Versus Bird in seventy nine, and

1001
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 2: they clearly carried a lot of that audience to the NBA,

1002
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 2: and the NBA obviously boomed under their watch kind of

1003
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 2: in the late late eighties into the Michael Jordan era.

1004
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 2: Do you think this will have an impact on the WNBA?

1005
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: Do you think it was just a moment in time

1006
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: for women's college basketball or do you think the WNBA

1007
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: will be able to add real momentum? Not the XFL.

1008
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 2: We tune in for the first week out of the

1009
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 2: novelty and then we never pay attention again. Is there

1010
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 2: real momentum that the WNBA can capitalize on?

1011
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: No, not to me.

1012
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 3: I think the only way is if they treat her

1013
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 3: like trash and that becomes a national story. If the

1014
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: other players are beating her up, and that becomes some

1015
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: kind of a talking point, like there's a storyline that

1016
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 3: comes out of all of this, and it supplants women's

1017
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 3: basketball in terms of what's happening on the floor.

1018
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: She's getting fouled hard and all this kind of thing.

1019
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,359
Speaker 3: Maybe that draws a little bit of interest, but even

1020
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:42,880
Speaker 3: that is it's more like a sideline tabloid issue, honestly,

1021
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 3: and I think we saw it. With all due respect

1022
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 3: to those that are big WNBA fans, I think the

1023
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 3: college game is infinitely more compelling than the pro game

1024
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 3: for the women, and I'm not even suggesting that that

1025
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 3: rises to that high a level.

1026
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,840
Speaker 1: I feel like the.

1027
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 3: One thing that the WNBA will have going for it

1028
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 3: and they're going to have more of a reason to

1029
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: write about it now, is that the.

1030
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: I mean this is this is just factual. This is

1031
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:13,240
Speaker 1: not an opinion.

1032
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 3: But the very staunch left wing oriented sports media are

1033
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 3: going to be in the tank to try and make

1034
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 3: this a thing.

1035
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 2: Yep.

1036
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 3: They are going to write way more than it deserves

1037
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 3: to try and make this work. Like look at the

1038
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 3: amount of articles that have been written in the past

1039
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 3: few weeks and and the way that the sport is

1040
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 3: being talked about as if it's the new hotness and

1041
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 3: it's not like this again. You have to look at

1042
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 3: this and see was this a fish bowl or is

1043
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 3: this something that can be replicated And the answer is no,

1044
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 3: because there's only one Caitlin Clark. Here's here's what happened.

1045
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark went from being Jim Or for Debt to

1046
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 3: Steph Curry. Sure, she went from a she went from

1047
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 3: a version of, you know, a big time scorer that

1048
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 3: couldn't get anywhere in the tournament to a guy that

1049
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 3: went that came within, you know, an eyelash of the

1050
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 3: final four, and in her case, she went all the

1051
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:10,839
Speaker 3: way to the championship game.

1052
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: And you even got the great.

1053
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,240
Speaker 3: Call and the drama at the end of the Yukon

1054
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 3: game on top of that, and then the New York

1055
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 3: Post putting out the angle that showcased why that was

1056
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 3: a good call the next day after we were all

1057
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 3: up in arms the night before. It was everything about

1058
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 3: this worked. You had the you had the the Peacock

1059
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 3: game on the Thursday night where she broke the record.

1060
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 3: You had a little bit of sour grapes coming from

1061
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 3: one of the old record holders. Everything worked for this

1062
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 3: story not to mention. The media was in the tank

1063
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 3: to make sure this worked and they're going to continue

1064
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 3: to do that. I just don't think that it has

1065
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: any kind of staying power. I'm not suggesting that's what

1066
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for. I just have to observe and analyze

1067
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 3: this based on what I think is most likely to happen.

1068
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 2: Well, and that's that's kind of where I am too.

1069
00:52:55,000 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 2: Is that you look at, you know, a WNBA regular season,

1070
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 2: I think I think it's going to run into the

1071
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 2: same issues that any sport does, which is that there

1072
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 2: are a lot of games. And by any you know, listen,

1073
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 2: what is the definition of market economics, supply and demand.

1074
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 2: When there's a smaller supply, if it's a product people want,

1075
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 2: the demand goes up, right. And so I bring it

1076
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 2: up to say, if the you know, if the uh

1077
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 2: Indiana Fever are playing, what however many games that they

1078
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 2: play over the course of the regular season, every single

1079
00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 2: one can't matter. It looks like it's about forty regular

1080
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 2: season games, like every single one can't matter. Now, what's

1081
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: going to be interesting to me is exactly what you

1082
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:42,839
Speaker 2: just said, Jason, Especially by the way, because of the

1083
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 2: time of the year in which the games are played,

1084
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 2: is like, is is anybody like the coverage relative to

1085
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: the interest I think will be interesting, right, And I

1086
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,480
Speaker 2: think it's going to be let's be honest, like you said,

1087
00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,959
Speaker 2: you know, left wing whatever. It's also going to be ESPN.

1088
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 2: ESPN has a vested interest in making the w NBA

1089
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 2: important and good in this and that whatever. But I

1090
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 2: bring it up because to me, I think it'll be

1091
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 2: interesting if it's covered like the NBA, like if you

1092
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:14,520
Speaker 2: just watched ESPN. And I'm not here to trash on

1093
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:17,799
Speaker 2: a competitor, but it's the truth. You would think that

1094
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 2: the NBA is the second biggest sport in this country

1095
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 2: by a mile, and that it is a rocket ship

1096
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 2: that everybody cares about. It is not. College football is

1097
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: the second biggest sport in this country. And you can

1098
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 2: go through and literally pick any sport. The NFL, major

1099
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 2: college football, the NCAA Tournament, the NCAA Women's Tournament. Every

1100
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:43,839
Speaker 2: single sport has increased ratings. The NBA has decreased. Their

1101
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 2: ratings keep going down. And I just bring it up

1102
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 2: because the way that it's covered, like I said, you

1103
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 2: would think that it's a rocket ship that everybody is

1104
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,799
Speaker 2: watching and that there's just no metric to prove it.

1105
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 2: So that's what's gonna be interesting to me, is are

1106
00:54:56,760 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark highlights going to lead Sports Center every night?

1107
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 2: And and like is it gonna create interest?

1108
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 4: Right?

1109
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,480
Speaker 2: I mean, and again, this is kind of a microwave society,

1110
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: so maybe people will want the thirty second highlights. I'm

1111
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 2: just curious if it means the Fever are playing the

1112
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 2: Minnesota Links on a Tuesday, if people are tuning in

1113
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:17,800
Speaker 2: it's no, yeah.

1114
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: That's sorry. I'm just call me very skeptical about that.

1115
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: Do I am?

1116
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 3: I looking at a box score and taking a look

1117
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 3: to see how Caitlyn played. Yes, I do think maybe

1118
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 3: I'll do that from time to time, not like religiously

1119
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 3: day after day. But you know what Arnie did. Actually

1120
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 3: here's the I told you. I had to think about

1121
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 3: it for a second. I appreciate Arnie attempted to buy

1122
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 3: an Indiana Fever like merchandise like sure in Jersey, like

1123
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 3: this is in advance of the draft, but couldn't do

1124
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 3: it for some reason. And he was furious about it,

1125
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 3: and he was talking about the pricing being outrageous and

1126
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 3: all this other kind of stuff and I was just like, wait,

1127
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 3: you were what Yes, Arne Spanier was attempting to buy

1128
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,640
Speaker 3: And I said, you mean for your wife or for

1129
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 3: for somebody in your family or somebody in your life.

1130
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:10,160
Speaker 1: You're like, no, for me. He was gonna buy Indiana

1131
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 1: Fever merch.

1132
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,239
Speaker 2: Everyone knows Arnie Spanier a huge feminists, So I'm not

1133
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: that is kind of a wild story.

1134
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: Listen.

1135
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 2: It shows the impact. But again, I'm just curious, like

1136
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 2: like I just and again, it's not a knock on

1137
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 2: the w NBA. It's a supply and demand thing. There's

1138
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: forty of these games that played at the worst possible time.

1139
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 2: You know, you start to look at you know, by

1140
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 2: the way the playoffs start in September. Okay, good luck

1141
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 2: getting people to tune in during football season, you know,

1142
00:56:44,160 --> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 2: and and and most of the schedules is is June, July, August.

1143
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,800
Speaker 2: And that's not a knock. It's just there's a reason

1144
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:52,280
Speaker 2: nothing goes on at that point. It's because people are traveling.

1145
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,919
Speaker 2: It's nice outside in areas of the country where it isn't.

1146
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 2: So I don't know if there's any more meat on

1147
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 2: this bone. Jason, I just I am with you. I'm

1148
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 2: very dubious that it has any type of major tangible

1149
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: impact on the WNBA. As incredible as this moment for

1150
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 2: women's college.

1151
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 1: Was, Yeah, I mean I think that's it.

1152
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 3: I think this, if this was the peak, it was

1153
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,120
Speaker 3: a very high peak for that sport, maybe one that

1154
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 3: none of us saw coming five years ago. And if

1155
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 3: they're smart, and I know they are, they should do

1156
00:57:20,440 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 3: everything they can to market to league arounder as best

1157
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 3: they can to see whether or not there's a lot

1158
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 3: of families with a lot of daughters that look at

1159
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark and you know, want to go out and

1160
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 3: shoot some hoops and shoot some threes in their own

1161
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 3: driveway and all that kind of stuff, and you can

1162
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 3: build something off of that. I think the other problem

1163
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 3: that you're going to run into, and you've seen already

1164
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 3: some kind of veil commentary towards this, is the players

1165
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 3: in the end the WNBA are salty and the whole

1166
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 3: like jealousy factor is already coming into play, and you're

1167
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 3: having the you have the the other stuff that goes

1168
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 3: along with that. They need to they need to all

1169
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 3: be behind this because it's going to benefit all of them.

1170
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:11,439
Speaker 3: The only chance that league has in terms of any

1171
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 3: kind of lasting impact is to glom onto what we

1172
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 3: just saw at the end of the college basketball I

1173
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 3: mean down Staley was smart enough to say that, right.

1174
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: She said something else that was insanely stupid last week.

1175
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 3: But what she said about Caitlyn Clark and how valuable

1176
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 3: she was to the sport and thanking Caitlyn Clark for

1177
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 3: what she did for women's basketball, that's that's exactly the

1178
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 3: attitude that everybody.

1179
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:37,680
Speaker 1: In the WNBA should have right now.

1180
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 2: Well, I do think that's an interesting follow up that

1181
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 2: is worth monitoring. Obviously there's nothing really topical about that,

1182
00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 2: but not yet. Yeah, but and I'm with you, I

1183
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 2: think there will be. What is the reaction once Kaitlyn

1184
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 2: Clark is there? She is going to create a lot

1185
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 2: of commerce. But based on early indications, because we've already had,

1186
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 2: like you said, a couple you know, whether it's Cheryl Swoops,

1187
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 2: whether it's Lynette Woodward, whether it's you know, some of

1188
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 2: the current players, she's clearly created a lot of you know,

1189
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 2: to put it delicately, jealousy. Fox Sports radio erin tors

1199
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 2: But if we're being perfectly honest, probably not the biggest

1200
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: story in men's college basketball this week. As late Sunday,

1201
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 2: as first reported by a friend of mine who I

1202
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: ca him so much credit because he became a national

1203
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: story in and of himself. Wes Moore, a a news

1204
00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 2: anchor in Arkansas, was the first one with the story.

1205
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 2: But John Caliperry is headed to the University of Arkansas. Jason,

1206
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 2: I've talked about this all week. My my takes are

1207
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: out in the open. But but where where were you?

1208
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 2: What did you just? Caliperry? Arkansas, flor Is yours?

1209
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 3: My friends? I got a got an updated email from Fox.

1210
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 3: We've talked about this before. They're they're usually.

1211
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 1: How I learned.

1212
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 3: I don't know how many things I've learned from a

1213
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Steve Disager email that's.

1214
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: Sent the Disager's smiling in the back. He just gave

1215
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 2: the fist pump. He just gave the Dan Hurley fist

1216
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 2: pump right there.

1217
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 3: So this time I think it was a Monsey belangnas

1218
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 3: Oh shots fired this this particular story because she was

1219
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,040
Speaker 3: the one that was working at the time, I believe.

1220
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 3: But that's how I learned it, and I was I

1221
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 3: kind of laughed because you remember you asked me to

1222
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 3: go on record like weeks ago what I thought was

1223
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 3: gonna happen the night we.

1224
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: Had uh who was it we had on from the.

1225
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 3: Nick coffin, Yeah, Nick Coffee, and uh, I said, I

1226
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 3: thought he'd be out right, I thought he'd be out

1227
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 3: that Monday, and turned out it wasn't. But we weren't

1228
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 3: too far off because it did turn out to have

1229
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 3: been his last game coaching at Kentucky, even though boy

1230
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 3: the stories that had come out about him and Barnhart

1231
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 3: kind of being on the same page going forward, like

1232
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 3: all of the stuff it changed. I mean, I read

1233
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 3: the piece of the Athletic about yeah, just the idea

1234
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 3: of he wanted to pick cal Perry's brain, their ad

1235
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 3: Arkansas's ad wanted to pick Calibery's brain about their coaching search.

1236
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 3: Once Musselman took the USC job and realized as he

1237
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 3: was talking to him a good friend of his there.

1238
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: He used to said, well why not you and ends

1239
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 1: up being the move.

1240
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 3: And I think one of the things that we said

1241
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 3: in the moment Aaron weeks ago was if your cal

1242
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 3: you might want out, like you might want to change

1243
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 3: the scenery here, because this is probably getting old, the expectations,

1244
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 3: the way it's talked about, like that's a pressure cooker

1245
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 3: that maybe you just want to exit out of for

1246
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 3: your own sanity. At some point we talked about the

1247
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 3: stubborn nature of Cal Perry, but maybe it would be

1248
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: in his best interest to do something else, And that's

1249
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 3: ultimately what ends up happening.

1250
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 5: Now.

1251
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 3: He goes to a program that has won a championship

1252
01:02:16,880 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 3: in its past and has certainly had some big time

1253
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 3: years with Nolan Richardson and certainly even in recent years

1254
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 3: with Musselman. But it's just different. It's different at Arkansas.

1255
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 3: But he stays in the same conference that he already knows,

1256
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 3: and he gets a new ZIP code and he moves

1257
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 3: on and he gets out of Lexington which I think

1258
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 3: is maybe good for him and good for the University

1259
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 3: of Kentucky.

1260
01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,439
Speaker 2: So yeah, So, first of all, to your point on cal,

1261
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:48,400
Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt is that he's a smart man.

1262
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 2: He's a savvy man, and and I think he knew

1263
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 2: he was coming back to get fired next year. And

1264
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 2: my take on the whole situation that unfolded a few

1265
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 2: weekends ago, and we did have Nick Coffee from our

1266
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Louisville affiliate on was I just don't think that Mitch

1267
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Barnhard the ad went into that Oakland game, opening round

1268
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 2: in the NCAA tournament thinking in any world that he

1269
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 2: was going to have Do Ray's thirty three million dollars

1270
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,200
Speaker 2: in buyout money. I just think, you know, he thought, hey,

1271
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 2: maybe it won't go well, maybe we'll lose some time

1272
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 2: early in this tournament. But nobody thought that was coming, right,

1273
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 2: and so but it felt like this was kind of

1274
01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 2: the Hey, this is the this is this was jimbo

1275
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 2: Fisher two off seasons ago of Okay, yeah, hire and oc,

1276
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:36,800
Speaker 2: let's see how it goes. But the second it went sideways,

1277
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 2: it was like boom, he's out. Money's there, we figured

1278
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 2: it all out. Whatever. So I bring it up because

1279
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:45,640
Speaker 2: I'm not surprised. Callus savvy and you know, one, it

1280
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 2: had to be the right opportunity. It's obviously come out

1281
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,600
Speaker 2: and you know Kentucky, like people knew, he's close with

1282
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 2: John Tyson, the founder of Tyson or you know, the

1283
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 2: owner of Tyson Chicken, billionaire whatever. But I'll say this

1284
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 2: is is is. I do think now that it's done,

1285
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 2: and we can pivot to Mark Pope here in a minute,

1286
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 2: I think, now that it's done, I do think it

1287
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 2: was the best for everybody. I don't think Cal is

1288
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 2: an elite coach by any stretch. But Kentucky did finish

1289
01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: in the SEC, second in the SEC this year. But

1290
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 2: his as he said, his message had warned in at

1291
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 2: Kentucky and it was clear that he was coming back

1292
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 2: to probably be fired. And it's clear that if he

1293
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,800
Speaker 2: had come back next year it would have been so

1294
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 2: toxic where every loss is the end of the world

1295
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 2: and the you know whatever. And so I think it's

1296
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 2: good for him. I think it's good for Kentucky. And

1297
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 2: that's really my only take is I thought, really really

1298
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 2: where my whole opinion on everything changed Jason really quick.

1299
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 2: And I'll toss it back to you when he made

1300
01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 2: that statement, when he made that statement on Tuesday afternoon

1301
01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 2: where he just said my voice is kind of you know,

1302
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 2: this program needs a new voice. But then he said

1303
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,800
Speaker 2: I love coaching kids. Because my whole perspective was, you know,

1304
01:04:57,840 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 2: you're at Kentucky, just retire. You got tens of millions

1305
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 2: of dollars, you'll never spend it. And I was like,

1306
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 2: you know what, if he wants to keep coaching, who

1307
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 2: am I to say that if somebody wants to pay

1308
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 2: him to do it, that he doesn't have that right.

1309
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 2: So that's the lasting takeaway is I do think that

1310
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 2: it all worked out for the best, and I think

1311
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,439
Speaker 2: it's gonna be the best for both programs going forward.

1312
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: I think that's right.

1313
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I think that point about him him loving

1314
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 3: what he does is important. There's no reason to shuffle

1315
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 3: him out to pasture, he admitted. And we've talked about

1316
01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 3: this amidst many coaches in many sports through the years.

1317
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 3: Anybody that's had a sports conversations probably has like, you know, what,

1318
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 3: he might need to go even though he's good, Like

1319
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 3: I mean, even there there would be that talk of

1320
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 3: like have they stopped listening to Mike Tomlin and sure

1321
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 3: like stuff like that. I mean, but Mike tom would

1322
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 3: be snatched up in five seconds, and I'd want him

1323
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 3: to coach my team immediately if he was on the market.

1324
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 3: Like I'm not even putting Cal in that classification necessarily,

1325
01:05:58,040 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 3: but you know, he can recruit like a map man,

1326
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,640
Speaker 3: and he's driven hard to win.

1327
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna rub you the wrong way a lot of times.

1328
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,479
Speaker 3: He's gonna say the thing you wish you wouldn't say,

1329
01:06:09,120 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 3: a little bit of a hotheads, some arrogance, all those

1330
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 3: kinds of things. But with that has come a lot

1331
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 3: of positives as well. And it's not like he's in

1332
01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 3: poor health and needs to step away. Like if he

1333
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 3: wants to keep going, then go right ahead. Can he

1334
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 3: have success at Arkansas? Yeah, sure he can. I think

1335
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 3: that the writing was on the wall, like you mentioned,

1336
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 3: coming back to get fired. And also, look, the nil

1337
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 3: era has changed. He can keep on recruiting what he wants,

1338
01:06:34,160 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 3: but there's a lot of competition now, and it's not

1339
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 3: just for the players, it's just he runs into different

1340
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 3: squads that also have their share of talent. And in

1341
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:47,880
Speaker 3: his own conference, you've seen a sea change in who's

1342
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 3: the best, sure, and who's there and all those things.

1343
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:53,720
Speaker 3: So he sticks around, but he goes a place where

1344
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 3: they've got expectations. But they're a different level. But they're

1345
01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 3: a great fan bay and they're happy to help that university,

1346
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 3: and they are. I do think that. I think that's

1347
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 3: important too. They actually want him, and maybe cal sense

1348
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 3: that Lexington wasn't anything other than hostile towards him going forward.

1349
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:18,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll put a bow on this. We'll get to

1350
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,720
Speaker 2: the saga and we'll wrap on Mark Pope. But I

1351
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 2: talked to Wes Moore, the guy who broke the story,

1352
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,240
Speaker 2: and I think the prevailing thing that he told me,

1353
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 2: I think there was a fear in the Arkansas fan

1354
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 2: base that posts the highs of Eric Musselman, which whe

1355
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:36,040
Speaker 2: people don't fall college basketball. Three sweet sixteens in three years,

1356
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: back to back Elite eights for the first time in

1357
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 2: thirty years. They had not been to the Elite dates

1358
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 2: since ninety five. They go in twenty two and twenty

1359
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 2: three or twenty one and twenty two, excuse me, And

1360
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 2: I think they were afraid we're gonna get some mid

1361
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: major coach that nobody's ever heard of, and we're gonna

1362
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 2: be irrelevant. This certainly makes them relevant. And as I said,

1363
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 2: I don't think cal Perry at this point in his career,

1364
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 2: is Dan Hurley, Bill Self whoever? But he's not the

1365
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,439
Speaker 2: worst you could do either. Fox Sports Radio, Aeron Tors,

1366
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 2: Jason Martin, do you want to come back and quickly

1367
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 2: quickly talk Mark Pope? But before we do, do you

1368
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 2: want to get to the news desk? Steve Seger? What

1369
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 2: is trend?

1370
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 7: One thing to add to your earlier hoops discussion this

1371
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 7: hour is with the TV ratings last year's NBA playoffs.

1372
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 7: It was their most watched playoffs they've had in five years.

1373
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 7: So if you add up all the rounds the national

1374
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,320
Speaker 7: TV NBA playoff games a year ago, they averaged just

1375
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 7: under five point five million. Iowa averaged ten million viewers

1376
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 7: for its NCAA tournament games six games, incredible ten million average.

1377
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 7: That includes the twelve million for the LSU rematch, fourteen

1378
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 7: million viewers when they played Yukon, and of course the

1379
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 7: national Championship game they appeared in where it was nearly

1380
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 7: nineteen million viewers. It was about eighteen point eight million

1381
01:08:47,800 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 7: for the women's final and about fourteen point eight million

1382
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 7: for the men's final. Notable, the women's final was on

1383
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 7: a regular TV channel on Network TV for the first

1384
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 7: time since the mid nineties. It was men's turn to

1385
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 7: be on cable only for the four this past weekend.

1386
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:04,400
Speaker 7: We will have and you kind of reference this what

1387
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 7: actually this wasn't the highest rated women's basketball game in

1388
01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 7: the history of the country. I will get to that

1389
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 7: next segment. There is actually something that we would not

1390
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 7: have thought of. At least once we find out, we'll say, oh, yeah, okay, oh,

1391
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 7: I know what it is.

1392
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 2: Actually, I know what it is.

1393
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 7: We'd get to that and a couple other items in

1394
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 7: the next segment. We do have a late ballgame. It's

1395
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 7: going to go on for a while at Dodgers Stadium,

1396
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 7: I think because there was a two hour, fifteen minute

1397
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 7: rain delay at the start, game didn't start till close

1398
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 7: to eleven thirty Eastern time. The Dodgers have taken a

1399
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,880
Speaker 7: one nothing lead on the San Diego Padres as they

1400
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 7: end the fourth inning. Gavin Stone, the Dodgers pitcher who

1401
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 7: had a good spring training, has four perfect innings so

1402
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 7: far against the Padres and just forty seven pitches thrown.

1403
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 7: Philadelphia with a run bottom of the ninth beat Pittsburgh

1404
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 7: four to three. Nick casteianos the game winning single. He's

1405
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 7: batting one to eighty two. Miami over Atlanta five to one.

1406
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 7: Braves pitcher Spencer Streyder had elbow surgery. He is out

1407
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,120
Speaker 7: for the year. Odder pitcher Bobby Miller's on the il

1408
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 7: with shoulder inflammation. Twin shortstop Carlos Correa went on the

1409
01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 7: injured list with a strained oblique. Minnesota swept a doubleheader

1410
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,839
Speaker 7: at Detroit, winning the first game in twelve innings eleven

1411
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 7: to five. Minnesota had tied at top of the eighth

1412
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:17,639
Speaker 7: on a solo homer. Each team scored in the eleventh.

1413
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:21,680
Speaker 7: Detroit's offense struck out seventeen times in that loss, and

1414
01:10:21,720 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 7: then it lost game two at home as well, four

1415
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 7: to one to the Twins. The Yankees road record is

1416
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 7: eight and one. They swept a twin bill at Cleveland.

1417
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 7: After yesterday's game there was rained out. Yanks won the

1418
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 7: day game three to two, one tonight's game eight to two,

1419
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 7: and San Francisco and Arizona with late night wins. The

1420
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 7: Cubs have won at Seattle four to one. The winning

1421
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 7: pitchers Shota I Minaga five and a third innings, no

1422
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 7: earned runs allowed. Scotti Scheffler leads the Masters by one

1423
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 7: stroke over Colin Morikawa. Tiger Wood shot eighty two, his

1424
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 7: worst round ever in a major. And in the NHL.

1425
01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 7: You know, we've got NBA playoffs formally beginning next weekend.

1426
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 7: NHLAF start next weekend. Don't believe the Sharks will be there.

1427
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 7: San Jose is losing five to two to Minnesota early third,

1428
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 7: which means San Jose has been outscored at home this

1429
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,759
Speaker 7: year by sixty eight goals, one of the five worst

1430
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 7: gold differentials for a season at home in the history

1431
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 7: of the NHL.

1432
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,559
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve Di Sager,

1433
01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday into Sunday air tours.

1434
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 2: Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Tyrek dot Com Studiens.

1435
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna go back to Saga in just a minute

1436
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 2: for his extended update. Jason, a little short on time,

1437
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 2: but you know it took a day or two. We

1438
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 2: did find out John Calperry's replacement officially yesterday, Mark Pope,

1439
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:44,919
Speaker 2: former Kentucky Wildcat, former NBA player, most recently the BYU

1440
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 2: head coach. He is now your Kentucky basketball head coach.

1441
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, jeez.

1442
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:52,919
Speaker 1: I mean, he's certainly tied to the program.

1443
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 3: Won a title with Patino in the nineties on that

1444
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 3: unbelievable team.

1445
01:11:58,520 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: He's beloved.

1446
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,800
Speaker 3: I know that it's you know, it's a polarizing higher

1447
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:07,479
Speaker 3: because it's Kentucky and Kentucky fans think that they should

1448
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 3: get the biggest name available and that wasn't gonna happen.

1449
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 3: I mean, when we had Nick Coffee on, he said

1450
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 3: it would be Bryce Drew and Bryce Drew or Scott

1451
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 3: Drew rather said, now, I'm staying in Baylor. This is

1452
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 3: where christ wants me, and this is where I'm going

1453
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 3: to continue to be. And you saw the Natos name,

1454
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 3: and you saw they're gonna go after Danny Hurley, and

1455
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna go after all this they end up with,

1456
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 3: I mean, let's face it, they end up with a

1457
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 3: no name. Now, it doesn't mean that he can't win,

1458
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 3: because there's no guaranteed blueprint for who you hire automatically

1459
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,839
Speaker 3: generating wins outside of like Nick Saban's gonna.

1460
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:39,639
Speaker 1: Win if you get him.

1461
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 3: But very few people are that obvious that you can

1462
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 3: sometimes pluck the right guy and he turns into an

1463
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 3: absolute gem, so he's gonna want to win for that university.

1464
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 1: He bleeds blue.

1465
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 3: He's completely the opposite. And this often happens too. You

1466
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,600
Speaker 3: sometimes go the opposite of what you just had. You

1467
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,639
Speaker 3: went for glitz and glamour. Now you're going for blue collar,

1468
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 3: you know, lifer. When it comes to Lexington and when

1469
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: it comes to Kentucky, I don't know. I mean you

1470
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 3: you hired a guy that I don't think has won

1471
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,680
Speaker 3: a game in the NCAA tournament as not, but it

1472
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 3: is BYU and they have challenges that Kentucky does not, So.

1473
01:13:20,439 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: I think it's just weight and c mode.

1474
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,240
Speaker 3: But just when I saw it, it was an underwhelming

1475
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 3: hire because you were waiting for some glitzy name because

1476
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:30,799
Speaker 3: this is Kentucky and that's not what happened.

1477
01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, two quick thoughts because we do got to get

1478
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 2: back to seger one.

1479
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: You know.

1480
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 2: One, I think to look at Mark Pop's resume I

1481
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 2: think is a little bit misleading. Two NCAA tournaments at

1482
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 2: BYU would have been a third if the twenty twenty

1483
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:46,280
Speaker 2: tournament hadn't been canceled. And listen, you know you finish

1484
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:48,599
Speaker 2: in fourth, fifth place whatever it was in the Big

1485
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,240
Speaker 2: twelve this year in your first year. That's not bad

1486
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 2: in the toughest league in the sport at a school

1487
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 2: with real restrictions. My only real complaint, if you want

1488
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 2: to have one at this point, and we're now basically

1489
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,760
Speaker 2: seventy two hours or forty eight hours removed from this

1490
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 2: news essentially becoming official, is my only real complaint is

1491
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 2: the process in which she got there is as you said,

1492
01:14:13,240 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 2: you know Nick Coffee told us, but you know, it

1493
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: has been speculated for a long time that that that

1494
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 2: Scot Drew would be the next head coach. The ad

1495
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 2: Mitch Barnhard has basically been promising him privately to the

1496
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 2: fan base, so I think they got their hopes up

1497
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:29,840
Speaker 2: that that would be the guy. I don't even think

1498
01:14:29,840 --> 01:14:33,680
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, anything to to like. I think

1499
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,719
Speaker 2: there were other great candidates out there, But the bottom

1500
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,640
Speaker 2: line is you don't get him. And and I know

1501
01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 2: you're you're busy during the week, Jason, but it was

1502
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 2: a weird thing with Hurley where there's like a two

1503
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 2: hour window where we're gonna off from the biggest contract ever,

1504
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 2: and then it becomes very apparent that Dan Hurley doesn't

1505
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 2: even want to take.

1506
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 1: Your phone call.

1507
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 2: My only complaint would be it felt like you're rushed

1508
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 2: right into Mark Pope. There was some Billy Donovan talk.

1509
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 2: I think at that point you just wait to see

1510
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 2: if you can at least get a meeting with him.

1511
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 2: Mark Pope will be available next Wednesday if you want him.

1512
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 2: But Mark Pope is the next time coach of Kentucky.

1513
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Air towards Jason Martin. By the way,

1514
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 2: it looks like we have a benches clearing situation at

1515
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium that has since been broken up. We'll go

1516
01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 2: to the saga. He'll tell you a little bit about that,

1517
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,680
Speaker 2: but also all of the big things that you have

1518
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 2: missed in sports. That's next Fox Sports. Welcome back, everybody.

1519
01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Air toars Jason Martin, broadcasting live from

1520
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: the Tireck dot Com studios, as we do every show

1521
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 2: at about twelve forty five Eastern time Saturday and Sunday.

1522
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 2: Toss it over the news desk to saga. The floor

1523
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 2: is yours, my friend.

1524
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,599
Speaker 7: Right before the break, you reference the brief brew haha

1525
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 7: on the field Dodgers padres in La Tonight, I'll just

1526
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 7: quote the words of longtime baseball writer the La Times

1527
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 7: Mike di Giovanna tonight, as he tweeted right after that,

1528
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 7: My goodness. The Padres jerks and Profar tries to bunt

1529
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 7: on the first pitch of the fifth inning. Then the

1530
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 7: pitcher comes inside with the second pitch. Exchange's words with

1531
01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 7: the Dodger catcher. Benches empty, bullpens empty, no punch is thrown.

1532
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 7: Did Jurison Profar really think Gavin Stone was throwing at him?

1533
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 7: With a perfect game going? Okay, it is a perfect

1534
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 7: game through five, three strikeouts, no walks, no hits allowed,

1535
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 7: and only fifty seven pitches thrown through five for the

1536
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 7: youngster Stone, who had a very good spring training. Dodgers

1537
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 7: up one nothing going to the sixth against San Diego.

1538
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 7: Now what we were talking about. Two things very interesting

1539
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 7: about this women's hoops with the great rating and the

1540
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 7: final number one undefeated South Carolina recently defeating Iowa for

1541
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 7: the national championship. First, it's the second most watched non

1542
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 7: Olympic women sporting events.

1543
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 2: I figured out what number one was because I had

1544
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:46,719
Speaker 2: gotten to this argument at the beginning of the tournament.

1545
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: But it's a women you said, non Olympic, Okay, So it's.

1546
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 7: Yeah, and we're talking team sports here, I assume as well,

1547
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,799
Speaker 7: But yeah that I don't think people were supporting women's

1548
01:16:55,800 --> 01:17:00,719
Speaker 7: athletics watching the Nitzi Khrican Tan Yard. But when Carly

1549
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 7: Lloyd and the US women's soccer team dominant was Japan.

1550
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:05,519
Speaker 2: It wasn't Brady Chestnain.

1551
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 7: No, it was not nineteen ninety nine at the Rose Bowl.

1552
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 7: Fox got twenty five million for the World Cup Final

1553
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 7: twenty fifteen. Meanwhile, still the most watched women's basketball game,

1554
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 7: apparently is the Olympic Final in Atlanta nineteen ninety six.

1555
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 7: US women beat Brazil almost twenty million viewers. I found

1556
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 7: the box score. The US won easily. Lisa Leslie was

1557
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 7: the starback this YAYI probably right. Dawn Staley was on

1558
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 7: that team and on the foul line nine of ten

1559
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 7: for her nine points in the gold medal game. Cheryl

1560
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 7: Swoops was on I'm needless to say, a very talented

1561
01:17:40,320 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 7: era also of women's basketball. This is before the Yukon

1562
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:47,240
Speaker 7: guards got there, and they were still this good. I mean,

1563
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 7: Rebecca Lobo was an afterthought on that roster, like Christian

1564
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,840
Speaker 7: Laitner had been an afterthought on the men's roster.

1565
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:53,879
Speaker 2: Four years before.

1566
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 7: As for the NBA, they probably couldn't have drawn it

1567
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 7: up any better. As we go into the final day

1568
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 7: of the regular season, nobody playing in the NBA tonight.

1569
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 7: Everybody in the league plays tomorrow, and we have a

1570
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 7: scenario that's literally never unfolded in the history of the NBA.

1571
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 7: Three teams enter the final day of the season with

1572
01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:19,799
Speaker 7: identical records. All three have a shot at the number

1573
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:24,560
Speaker 7: one seed in their standings. Oklahoma City, because of tiebreakers,

1574
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:27,719
Speaker 7: listed as number one for now, they have the inside

1575
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 7: edge going into tomorrow, Minnesota the two seed for now,

1576
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 7: and Denver, the defending champion somehow losing last night at

1577
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 7: San Antonio, is down to the three slot. Now, we

1578
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 7: do know that Dallas is locked in and will face

1579
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,719
Speaker 7: the four seed Clippers in the first round of the playoffs,

1580
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 7: which start next weekend. Dallas the five seed in the West.

1581
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,879
Speaker 7: If the Phoenix Suns win tomorrow and New Orleans loses,

1582
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 7: Phoenix secures the sixth seed in the West and gets

1583
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 7: to avoid the play in tournament. Play in starts on Tuesday.

1584
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 7: That'll determine the number seven and eight seeds for each

1585
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,519
Speaker 7: confer rints in the playoffs. In the East Milwaukee with

1586
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 7: a win on Sunday, would clinch the two seed in

1587
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 7: the East, light years behind Boston. As good as the

1588
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 7: Celtics have been, we do know for sure the Bulls

1589
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 7: are locked into the nine seed. Therefore, they will host

1590
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:17,839
Speaker 7: ten seed Atlanta on Wednesday, the play in the seventh

1591
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,320
Speaker 7: place team and the season standings will host the eighth

1592
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 7: place club. The winner of that one game becomes the

1593
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 7: number seven seed in the playoffs. The loser of seven

1594
01:19:26,280 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 7: verses eight will get one more chance next week to

1595
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 7: earn a playoffs pot, because the loser of seven verses

1596
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,200
Speaker 7: eight will then face the winner of nine versus ten,

1597
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 7: and NHL playoffs will start next weekend. Dallas clinch the

1598
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 7: Central Division title today beating Seattle three to one, Winnipeg

1599
01:19:41,280 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 7: seven nothing winners at Colorado, they'll face each other in

1600
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 7: the first round. Vancouver and Boston have won Tonight a

1601
01:19:48,560 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 7: UFC victory for Max Holloway by the Way, and tomorrow

1602
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 7: final round of the Masters at augusta superb weekend weather.

1603
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 7: After all the wins very high wins the first couple

1604
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 7: of rounds Sunday, the leaders will be starting after two

1605
01:20:02,280 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 7: thirty pm Eastern time. Scottie Scheffler alone in that lead

1606
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 7: by one stroke, but it's one over. Colin Moricawo shot

1607
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:12,679
Speaker 7: a third round sixty nine guys like Phil Nicholson six

1608
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 7: over par along with Brooks Kepco shot seventy six Tiger

1609
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 7: Woods with that eighty two today his worst round ever

1610
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,760
Speaker 7: in a major. He's now eleven over par.

1627
01:21:25,320 --> 01:21:29,240
Speaker 2: I haven't talked much NFL. Yeah, there's there's there's there's

1628
01:21:29,360 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 2: enough going on obviously. I think next week we will

1629
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:35,720
Speaker 2: ramp up personally are our draft coverage. We do so

1630
01:21:35,800 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 2: much on college football, you know, we have plenty of

1631
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:43,000
Speaker 2: we have plenty of NFL draft takes as well. But

1632
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 2: there was certainly an interesting, certainly an interesting NFL draft story,

1633
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 2: and that is because how familiar were you with the

1634
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 2: Deep Cuts with Vic Blend's podcast prior to this week?

1635
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 2: Jason Air was that in your normal Spotify playlist, it's.

1636
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 1: Not in the general rotation, and that I had never

1637
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 1: heard of it.

1638
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 2: Okay, well, Deep Cuts with Vic Blenz, who I think

1639
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 2: is a barber of some sort. He's obviously a barber

1640
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 2: to the stars because he had won Tom Brady on

1641
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 2: his podcast this week, they talked about a number of

1642
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 2: different things, including this one day. It is a situation, right,

1643
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:28,240
Speaker 2: maybe it's the forty nine ers, Maybe you know, headed

1644
01:22:28,280 --> 01:22:28,839
Speaker 2: to the playoffs.

1645
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:33,479
Speaker 9: Offense is great, Patriots, somebody raiders could be you never.

1646
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: Know, Scott Forbid.

1647
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 2: Somebody goes down.

1648
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:38,120
Speaker 1: Would you pick up that phone? I'm not opposed to it.

1649
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:39,759
Speaker 1: If they would. I don't know if they're gonna.

1650
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:41,519
Speaker 9: Let me if I become an owner and the NFL team,

1651
01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 9: but I don't know. If I don't know, I'm always

1652
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 9: going to be in a good shape. I always be

1653
01:22:45,479 --> 01:22:47,640
Speaker 9: able to throw the ball, so to come in for

1654
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 9: a little bit like MJ coming back. I don't know

1655
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 9: if they let me, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

1656
01:22:52,880 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 2: That was the deep cut with Vic Blen's podcast. By

1657
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,560
Speaker 2: the way, vic Blenz has three point five million Instagram followers,

1658
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:01,720
Speaker 2: so he's doing way better than me, even though I'd

1659
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 2: never heard of his podcast prior to this week. Jason,

1660
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 2: what did you make of Tom Brady saying that he

1661
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 2: wouldn't be opposed Now there's obviously potential limitations with his

1662
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,600
Speaker 2: ownership stake in his pursuit of ownership and stuff, But

1663
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 2: what did you make of Tom Brady saying that he

1664
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 2: does he would not rule out the possibility of wanting

1665
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 2: to come back.

1666
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:24,519
Speaker 1: That I think he is.

1667
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 3: I don't think that he's saying anything that's supposed to

1668
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 3: be taken too far. I don't anticipate this happening I

1669
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 3: think it just tells you what we already know, which

1670
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 3: is that Tom Brady can't get football out of his brain.

1671
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 3: And I mean playing it, not talking about it, not

1672
01:23:41,400 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 3: holding a microphone speaking about it. All the things in

1673
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 3: his life, it's football that is the centerpiece. It seems

1674
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 3: like it's the thing. It's what he's driven to do.

1675
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:54,000
Speaker 3: I'm not sure he knows exactly what to do with

1676
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:56,559
Speaker 3: himself outside of it. I don't know if he's like

1677
01:23:56,720 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 3: nudge nudging. I don't really get that sense from it.

1678
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 3: It becomes kind of an interesting talking point, it becomes content.

1679
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,720
Speaker 3: If somebody were to call him in December, do I

1680
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 3: think he would at least consider it, Yeah? I do,

1681
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,919
Speaker 3: because I just think he loves playing, he loves competing,

1682
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,240
Speaker 3: he loves winning. And if it's a contender that needs it,

1683
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 3: and he looks at that roster and he feels like

1684
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,640
Speaker 3: he could walk in and play for six weeks and

1685
01:24:19,680 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 3: maybe win another title or have another run at it,

1686
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 3: I don't know that the competitiveness in him would allow

1687
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 3: him to stay away.

1688
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 1: I also don't expect it to happen.

1689
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know. It's an interesting piece and

1690
01:24:33,800 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 2: it obviously made the rounds and by the way, in

1691
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 2: all seriousness, shout out to Vic Blens forget him on

1692
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,920
Speaker 2: the podcast, but and asking a good question that obviously

1693
01:24:40,920 --> 01:24:44,400
Speaker 2: made headlines, like I don't know that I'm surprised by it,

1694
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 2: Like like he clearly listened the fall the summer before

1695
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:56,840
Speaker 2: his final season, Like he literally, quite literally gave up

1696
01:24:56,880 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 2: his family for football, and it was clear after the

1697
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:03,759
Speaker 2: first retirement that he still wanted to play. He makes

1698
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 2: the comeback, and I think the final season in Tampa

1699
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 2: humbled him, and I don't think he had a very

1700
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 2: good team around him. I mean, I'd be lying if

1701
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 2: I said I remember all the details at this point,

1702
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 2: but he was obviously also dealing with a lot of

1703
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 2: personal stuff off the field, and he came back, and

1704
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:21,960
Speaker 2: I still go back. I remember Week one. I believe

1705
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 2: they played Dallas. I can't even remember. I think they

1706
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 2: played at Dallas in week one, Sunday night, whatever. And

1707
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 2: I just bring it up because it was like you

1708
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 2: could even see on the sidelines, like it didn't look

1709
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:35,680
Speaker 2: like he was happy. It never, at any point in

1710
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:39,320
Speaker 2: that final season looked like he was happy. And you know,

1711
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 2: but at the same time, bad team, you know, a

1712
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 2: new head coach, defensive head coach. He forced Bruce arians

1713
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 2: out a lot of the key pieces from that first season.

1714
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 2: And you know, the first season when they won the

1715
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 2: Super Bowl or gone, Gronk was retired. Ab obviously had

1716
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 2: his situation Antonio Brown, So you know, the last year

1717
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 2: left a sour taste in his mouth, and there was

1718
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 2: obviously no way that he was coming back the following season.

1719
01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 2: But the way that our guy Vic Blend's framed it was,

1720
01:26:09,880 --> 01:26:11,840
Speaker 2: We're not asking you to come back for training camp.

1721
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:14,800
Speaker 2: We're not asking you to play seventeen games, we're not

1722
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 2: asking to play four preseason games. But if God forbid,

1723
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 2: there is an injury in in San Francisco, if there's

1724
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:25,040
Speaker 2: an injury, and by the way, I was right for

1725
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:28,000
Speaker 2: Opening Night was on against Dallas on Sunday Night football,

1726
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 2: his final season. If there is an injury in San Francisco,

1727
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,600
Speaker 2: if there is an injury in New England, whatever, And

1728
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 2: I think he was kind of being facetious with New England.

1729
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 2: But under the right situation, could you see it? I think,

1730
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 2: given the context of the question, I'm not surprised by

1731
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 2: it at all, because he clearly loves football. The situation

1732
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 2: wasn't Hey, you know the Patriots call you tomorrow. Are

1733
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 2: you showing up for OTAs a week from now? The

1734
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 2: question was late in the season, could you see it happening,

1735
01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:58,519
Speaker 2: and he clearly said he could.

1736
01:26:59,240 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1737
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 3: I think right, And I think that's a fair especially

1738
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 3: on spur of the moment him saying it's just like

1739
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 3: man hadn't really considered it. But now that you mentioned,

1740
01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,080
Speaker 3: if somebody called in December and they've got a chance

1741
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 3: to make the playoffs, or they're already in playoff position

1742
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 3: and they need somebody for a run because you know,

1743
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 3: God forbid, there's a twin acl or something like that

1744
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 3: to a starting quarterback, that's something I'd have to give

1745
01:27:20,760 --> 01:27:23,600
Speaker 3: consideration to. I think it would depend on the circumstance.

1746
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's a zero percent chance. I just

1747
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 3: think that I think that is a fair thing for

1748
01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:31,640
Speaker 3: what we know Tom Brady. That's a fair thing for

1749
01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 3: Tom Brady to have said. I also think that it

1750
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 3: needs to be contextualized as we just did and as

1751
01:27:38,360 --> 01:27:42,200
Speaker 3: you just did, and not taken too far, because I

1752
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 3: don't I don't think that that I don't think that

1753
01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 3: that does anybody any good. I think Tom Brady's looking

1754
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 3: to get back into the league. I do think there

1755
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 3: would be some scenarios that would be interesting, if not

1756
01:27:54,640 --> 01:27:55,439
Speaker 3: enticing to him.

1757
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,680
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you, now, let's do the opposite,

1758
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:00,080
Speaker 2: not what's enticing to him, but would be enticing to

1759
01:28:00,160 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 2: the team. Brock perty, God forbid, something happens gets hurt.

1760
01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:10,599
Speaker 2: You know, Week eleven, forty nine ers are uh, seven

1761
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 2: to three coming out of a bye. Would you give

1762
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:17,960
Speaker 2: Tom Brady a call? And he's out for the year,

1763
01:28:18,200 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 2: party's out for the year, But you have a team

1764
01:28:19,840 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 2: that's good enough to win the Super Bowl? Do you

1765
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 2: give Tom Brady a call?

1766
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:23,519
Speaker 1: Yes?

1767
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,720
Speaker 2: I would too. What do you think you get out

1768
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 2: of him at this point? Let me let me ask

1769
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:32,360
Speaker 2: you this is it being revisionist history for me to

1770
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,400
Speaker 2: say like like that last year was weird, but it

1771
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 2: was also a lot of as I said, was that,

1772
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 2: you know, he comes to Tampa to play for Bruce Arians.

1773
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:43,639
Speaker 2: Brsarrians has gone. Now, admittedly Tom Brady kind of forced

1774
01:28:43,720 --> 01:28:49,160
Speaker 2: him out. Gronk is gone, Antonio Brown is gone. It

1775
01:28:49,240 --> 01:28:53,160
Speaker 2: was just a weird year. But he clearly wasn't the

1776
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 2: dude that he had been. But you still look at

1777
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 2: his final stat line of the twenty twenty two regular season,

1778
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 2: where things went wrong, where the team wasn't very good,

1779
01:29:01,280 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 2: still completed sixty seven percent of his passes over forty

1780
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 2: six hundred yards, twenty five touchdowns, nine interceptions. That was

1781
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,799
Speaker 2: at forty five years old, so he'd be forty seven

1782
01:29:10,920 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 2: this coming year. It sounds like if if, if you're

1783
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 2: San Francisco and you're willing to call him, it sounds

1784
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 2: like you're confident that he could deliver to some capacity

1785
01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:24,599
Speaker 2: even at forty seven years old.

1786
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it would be worth it.

1787
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,200
Speaker 3: I mean I think that it would be I mean,

1788
01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 3: what else are you going to get? I mean, when

1789
01:29:30,720 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 3: you consider what Flacco did, you have to consider what

1790
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 3: Brady could do. We had this discussion a few years

1791
01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:39,559
Speaker 3: ago about Philip Rivers. He was, you know, he's happy

1792
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 3: where he is in his high school situation, but it

1793
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 3: was at least talked about. I think if somebody is

1794
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:50,560
Speaker 3: very you know, still kind of new to being retired,

1795
01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 3: and the last time you saw him, they look like

1796
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:55,360
Speaker 3: they could still go, I mean, do you just punt

1797
01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 3: on your season or do you at least place a

1798
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:00,919
Speaker 3: phone call to somebody who I mean, worst case scenario,

1799
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 3: it doesn't work out, or he says no. I think

1800
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 3: there's no harm in at least exploring it. I think

1801
01:30:06,400 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 3: at that point, you're desperate enough, you're kicking the tires,

1802
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:12,760
Speaker 3: and Tom Brady is not exactly the biggest leap in

1803
01:30:12,800 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 3: the world.

1804
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:18,640
Speaker 2: Fair enough, Well doesn't sound like it's probably not.

1805
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't think it's gonna happen. It would be an

1806
01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:22,919
Speaker 3: amazing story if it did. But I mean, he's retired

1807
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,519
Speaker 3: now twice, so I'm kind of hopeful for his sake

1808
01:30:26,600 --> 01:30:28,280
Speaker 3: that this is a wrap for him.

1809
01:30:28,800 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 2: Doesn't hurt when you have a thirty seven million dollars

1810
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 2: a year broadcast deal sitting on the table for you.

1811
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:39,520
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, Eric Torres, Jason Martin, we are broadcasting

1812

Speaker 2: live from the Tyreck dot Com studios. Tell you what, Jason,

1813
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:43,560
Speaker 2: I want to come back, and I do want to

1814
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 2: revisit the big story we talked about earlier in the show.

1815
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 2: Scott Scheffler is the leader at the Masters going into Sunday,

1816
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 2: and that might be the last thing on his mind.

1817
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:59,000
Speaker 2: We explain next. Fox Sports Radio, Welcome back, everybody. Fox

1818
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:03,479
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. Aaron Torres, Jason Martin. We are broadcasting live

1819
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 2: from the Tireck dot Com Studios. We are taking the

1820
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 2: up till two am Eastern time. Bernie Fretto of The

1821
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:13,479
Speaker 2: Bernie Fredo Show will follow us. We still got forty

1822
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 2: one minutes on air, and I do want to get

1823
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 2: to what is quickly emerging into one of the more

1824
01:31:20,800 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 2: intriguing stories that I can ever remember. Because by the way,

1825
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 2: UFC three hundreds still going on. We'll get producer Shay

1826
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,599
Speaker 2: to get us any interesting updates. Producer say, you feel

1827
01:31:32,600 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 2: free to hop on. Has there been anything of note

1828
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,040
Speaker 2: at UFC three hundred. I don't mean to put you

1829
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:38,000
Speaker 2: on the spot here.

1830
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,400
Speaker 8: So there was. Actually I was kind of keeping in

1831
01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:44,719
Speaker 8: the entire time. So Max Holloway was fighting Justin Gaishee,

1832
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:47,439
Speaker 8: which is a pretty big fight. Two big names in

1833
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 8: the actual sporting world and the fighting world. But so

1834
01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 8: Max Holloway was basically winning the fight throughout the entire time.

1835
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 8: He would have won the fight no matter what. But

1836
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 8: basically in the last five ten seconds of the fight,

1837
01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:01,720
Speaker 8: he points to the middle of the middle of the

1838
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:04,840
Speaker 8: octagon and he goes, let's go. They start wailing at it,

1839
01:32:05,080 --> 01:32:07,599
Speaker 8: and with one second left, Max Holloway knocks out Justin

1840
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 8: Gage Show. Wow, I mean it's a cement kind of goats,

1841
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,160
Speaker 8: not goat status, but it definitely adds to a legacy.

1842
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 8: I mean, it's just it's such a brutal sport, but

1843
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:19,000
Speaker 8: it's it's such a it's such a cool thing to see,

1844
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 8: especially after seeing Max Holloway. I mean, do you guys

1845
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:22,880
Speaker 8: know who Max Holloway is.

1846
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 2: I've heard the name. I'm not super familiar.

1847
01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,360
Speaker 8: I mean during the break, I'll send you guys some

1848
01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 8: things too, But I mean this is a huge, huge

1849
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,479
Speaker 8: moment for him. I mean, he's been in the sport

1850
01:32:32,560 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 8: for so long. I mean, justin Gage, he's a great

1851
01:32:34,240 --> 01:32:36,640
Speaker 8: fighter too. But I mean it definitely was one of

1852
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,639
Speaker 8: the greatest moments in UFC I've ever seen. I'm sure

1853
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:41,000
Speaker 8: if you guys see it, go on Twitter right now

1854
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:43,719
Speaker 8: you can see the knockout. But again, last ten seconds

1855
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:46,280
Speaker 8: points in the middle of the octagon, let's do it, and.

1856
01:32:46,200 --> 01:32:46,640
Speaker 1: He did it.

1857
01:32:46,640 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 2: That's a dog right there.

1858
01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 7: That's all I can really say about it.

1859
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 2: Very good. Well, it looks like we're going to the

1860
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 2: last fight Alex Pereira Jamal Hill Is that is that accurate?

1861
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,559
Speaker 2: Shay awesome. We'll keep us updated on all of that.

1862
01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,920
Speaker 2: UFC three by the way, not the only big story

1863
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:04,400
Speaker 2: in sports from this weekend. By the way, Jason, I'll

1864
01:33:04,439 --> 01:33:06,839
Speaker 2: say this before you can get to the Scottie Scheffler stuff.

1865
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 2: You know, you and I were Texan off air. I'm

1866
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:12,679
Speaker 2: gonna steal a little take from Dan Byer. So it's

1867
01:33:12,680 --> 01:33:15,920
Speaker 2: not a take steal if if you give the person credit.

1868
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 2: But Dan and I were talking about a week ago.

1869
01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 2: He just kind of offhand says, He's like, you know, Aaron,

1870
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 2: everybody always talks about how great, you know, September is

1871
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 2: with all this football, and October is with with the

1872
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:33,479
Speaker 2: heart of NFL and college football, and you know, the

1873
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball playoffs. NBA starts back end of the month.

1874
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,000
Speaker 2: He goes, think about April. He gets, He goes, you

1875
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 2: basically get opening Day, now understandably sometimes it starts on

1876
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:47,679
Speaker 2: March thirtieth or whatever, but you get opening day right

1877
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:49,960
Speaker 2: into the tail end of the NCAA tournament. The Final

1878
01:33:49,960 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 2: Four is generally the first week of April. That immediately

1879
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 2: goes into the Masters. The NBA and NHL playoffs tip off.

1880
01:33:58,920 --> 01:34:01,200
Speaker 2: As to say, you're just told you this coming weekend

1881
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:04,559
Speaker 2: and you know whatever, and then we get the NFL draft.

1882
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:07,360
Speaker 2: It's like, not only are there major sporting events, but

1883
01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:11,400
Speaker 2: it's like every weekend there is another sporting event to

1884
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 2: be invested in. I thought it was a very interesting

1885
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 2: take that I hadn't considered. It's like five straight weeks

1886
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 2: where there's something big in sports that's different and unique

1887
01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 2: every single weekend.

1888
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:27,920
Speaker 3: Jas Yeah, I mean it's definitely in terms of variety,

1889
01:34:28,760 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 3: it is overlooked, and I think largely in this country

1890
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:36,000
Speaker 3: now just because football is not being played, you don't

1891
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 3: think about how many big time events are happening simultaneously

1892
01:34:40,720 --> 01:34:41,560
Speaker 3: or certainly.

1893
01:34:41,200 --> 01:34:42,960
Speaker 1: Week after week after week after week.

1894
01:34:44,240 --> 01:34:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean just last weekend was WrestleMania, and WrestleMania is

1895
01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:50,200
Speaker 3: always usually the first weekend of April or the very

1896
01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:54,719
Speaker 3: end of March occasionally, but another just gigantic, the biggest

1897
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 3: event in the sport certainly, But you've got that, and

1898
01:34:57,320 --> 01:34:59,680
Speaker 3: you've got the Masters, like you mentioned, and you've got that.

1899
01:35:00,160 --> 01:35:02,360
Speaker 3: You know, Jim Nantz used to have the best run

1900
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:06,439
Speaker 3: in sports now, of course Teyan Eagle, but you know,

1901
01:35:06,560 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 3: nance would do the National Championship Game and then he

1902
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 3: would immediately go to Augusta to do the Masters. And

1903
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:15,320
Speaker 3: the years that he also had the Super Bowl on

1904
01:35:15,400 --> 01:35:18,440
Speaker 3: top of that, it was the trifectave for a broadcaster.

1905
01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 3: And the month of April provides a lot of big

1906
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 3: time moments.

1907
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 1: And usually when you get to the you.

1908
01:35:28,400 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 3: Know those year in montages, the month of April is

1909
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 3: highly featured because you are crowned champions in multiple sports

1910
01:35:36,479 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 3: and you're also granted a green jacket and you start

1911
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 3: to you know, baseball just begins or it's really just

1912
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:46,040
Speaker 3: kind of kicking off at that point in time, playoffs

1913
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 3: in multiple sports as well. And as you mentioned the draft,

1914
01:35:49,640 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 3: like there's just like I think October. I think October

1915
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:59,679
Speaker 3: would probably be the one that I would probably point

1916
01:35:59,720 --> 01:36:02,519
Speaker 3: to and say that might be number one, or it's

1917
01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 3: right in there. There's a few candidates, but I think

1918
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:09,799
Speaker 3: October is certainly in the mix. But I think April

1919
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:10,880
Speaker 3: was definitely overlooked.

1920
01:36:11,320 --> 01:36:13,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is just like you said, it's the variety

1921
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 2: of it too, where you know, you go from Opening

1922
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:19,599
Speaker 2: Day to the college tournament to the Masters, and then

1923
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,920
Speaker 2: again with the NBA playoffs starting and all that, but

1924
01:36:22,960 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 2: then you also get the draft at the end of

1925
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 2: the week. We'll talk a little bit about the Draft

1926
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:29,360
Speaker 2: next week, but Jason, we got to get to the

1927
01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:33,120
Speaker 2: story of this weekend, which is of course the Masters,

1928
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:37,160
Speaker 2: but beyond just the Masters, we have a very interesting

1929
01:36:37,400 --> 01:36:42,120
Speaker 2: emerging story in Augusta. Scotty Scheffler, the twenty twenty two champ,

1930
01:36:42,160 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 2: has a one stroke lead over Colin Colin Morrikamma, excuse

1931
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,559
Speaker 2: me going into the final day of the tournament and

1932
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 2: they are set to tee off at two thirty five

1933
01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:55,519
Speaker 2: Eastern Time, obviously two thirty five PM. Bring it up

1934
01:36:56,080 --> 01:37:00,600
Speaker 2: because this is in the crosshairs of a fat, fascinating

1935
01:37:00,720 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 2: moment in time in Scotty Scheffler's personal life, where Scotty

1936
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,479
Speaker 2: Scheffler's wife is due to give birth any day. Now,

1937
01:37:08,439 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 2: why it's noteworthy is because Scotty Scheffler said before this

1938
01:37:11,960 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 2: tournament that if his wife goes into labor at any

1939
01:37:15,160 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 2: point during the tournament, that his plan is to leave

1940
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,479
Speaker 2: Augusta and be by her bedside for the birth of

1941
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 2: their first child together. Of course, when he said that,

1942
01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:27,920
Speaker 2: he did not know that he was going to go

1943
01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:31,880
Speaker 2: into the final day of Augusta with a one stroke lead.

1944
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:35,000
Speaker 2: What do you think is gonna happen? Well, I mean,

1945
01:37:35,160 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 2: you can't predict what's gonna happen because obviously, you know,

1946
01:37:37,760 --> 01:37:40,599
Speaker 2: we don't know the birthing patterns of Scotty Scheffler's wife.

1947
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 2: But what do you think he's actually Do you think

1948
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 2: it's possible he could leave Augusta with the one stroke

1949
01:37:50,200 --> 01:37:54,400
Speaker 2: lead going into the final day to be by his wife.

1950
01:37:55,520 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it seemed it seems unthinkable, but yeah, of

1951
01:37:58,240 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 3: course it's possible. Again, this is his first child. Also,

1952
01:38:02,600 --> 01:38:04,800
Speaker 3: I just you know, my wife gave birth to our

1953
01:38:04,880 --> 01:38:07,840
Speaker 3: second child three weeks ago. So I've now gone through

1954
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:11,120
Speaker 3: this twice, and this one was easier than the first.

1955
01:38:11,280 --> 01:38:12,400
Speaker 3: I'll never forget either.

1956
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 1: One of them.

1957
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 3: They're just They're two just indelible moments in time. It's

1958
01:38:17,360 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 3: I mean, look, you win the Masters, that's a big deal.

1959
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,720
Speaker 3: He has already done it once. Not that I think

1960
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:23,920
Speaker 3: that that. I do think that would make it a

1961
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 3: little easier to walk away. But I mentioned this in

1962
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:32,599
Speaker 3: the first hour, and I don't necessarily like, I don't

1963
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:37,040
Speaker 3: think this goes into his thinking. But he's a bigger

1964
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 3: star if he leaves then if he wins the tournament.

1965
01:38:39,439 --> 01:38:41,120
Speaker 3: If he win the tournament, he's a golfer that won

1966
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:42,799
Speaker 3: the Masters. One of your best thays.

1967
01:38:42,600 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 2: Every by the way we've been together, I think four

1968
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 2: years now that might be my favorite. Jason Martin take

1969
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:49,559
Speaker 2: that I hadn't even considered until you brought it up.

1970
01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:52,240
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that. I mean, I just I mean,

1971
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:54,559
Speaker 3: there's going to be another Master's winner next year. There

1972
01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:56,559
Speaker 3: was one last year. He won it two years ago.

1973
01:38:57,400 --> 01:38:59,479
Speaker 3: I'll give you money if you can name the last five.

1974
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,160
Speaker 3: And that's the biggest tournament in the sport. No one

1975
01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 3: has ever walked off the Augusta Golf Course, especially in

1976
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 3: the position he finds himself in, and just said, no,

1977
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 3: you know what, there's stuff that's bigger than this game.

1978
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 3: There's stuff that's bigger than sports. My family, the birth

1979
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 3: of my first child. I'm gonna be there for my

1980
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:21,479
Speaker 3: wife in this moment that puts him on magazine covers

1981
01:39:21,479 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 3: that have nothing to do with sports, that puts him

1982
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:28,639
Speaker 3: on primetime interview shows that have nothing to do with sports,

1983
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,400
Speaker 3: that would have no interest in a Scottie Scheffler conversation.

1984
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 3: Even if he were to break every record we've ever

1985
01:39:34,240 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 3: seen and have the greatest round we've ever seen in

1986
01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 3: golf tomorrow, it doesn't matter. This becomes historically relevant and

1987
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 3: it ends up being something we don't forget, and there

1988
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:51,120
Speaker 3: are very few of those kinds of moments that transcend

1989
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 3: the sport or transcend the discipline that they find themselves in.

1990
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:59,000
Speaker 3: Scotti Scheffler leaves, he's a celebrity and people remember him,

1991
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:02,679
Speaker 3: he wins the tournament, the vast majority of the country

1992
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:04,960
Speaker 3: won't even know he won it, and most of them

1993
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 3: that do know it will forget it within six months.

1994
01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:11,679
Speaker 2: You know what that concept reminds me of. So, first

1995
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 2: of all, I think it's an incredible thought. And to

1996
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 2: your point, I don't think it's what Scotty Scheffler is

1997
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:20,880
Speaker 2: thinking about right now. Oh this if I walk off

1998
01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:24,920
Speaker 2: Augusta at All eleven with a three stroke lead, you

1999
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 2: know whatever. But I do think it's very interesting. I

2000
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 2: agree one hundred percent. Is that if Scotty Scheffler wins

2001
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 2: the Masters by four strokes, my wife doesn't know who

2002
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 2: he is come Monday morning. If he leaves Augusta National

2003
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:41,080
Speaker 2: with a two stroke lead with three holes to go,

2004
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 2: because his wife goes into labor. I guarantee when she's

2005
01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 2: watching Good Morning America on on Monday morning, that will

2006
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:49,760
Speaker 2: If it's not the lead story, it'll be in the

2007
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,720
Speaker 2: very short conversation for it. So that's very interesting. The

2008
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 2: one analogy, this is a weird one, a little bit

2009
01:40:55,960 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 2: of a sad one. But do you remember I don't

2010
01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:01,520
Speaker 2: even remember the guy's name, but the ninety two Olympics,

2011
01:41:01,920 --> 01:41:05,960
Speaker 2: the sprinter that's sprinting to the finish line and pulls

2012
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 2: a hamstring and his dad grabs them and they walk

2013
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:11,439
Speaker 2: to the finish line together. I don't know if you

2014
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:13,519
Speaker 2: remember this or what I'm what I'm referencing. It's like

2015
01:41:13,840 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 2: it's like a very iconic Olympic moment, but that made

2016
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:21,640
Speaker 2: like that story withstood the test of time. And I

2017
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 2: don't have the guy's name. I probably should have looked

2018
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,680
Speaker 2: at Derek Redmond. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes yes,

2019
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 2: I'm getting the nod from the Segers, so I have

2020
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,040
Speaker 2: full faith that that's who it is. But it's like

2021
01:41:30,520 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 2: that moment is still shown every Olympics forty years later,

2022
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:38,080
Speaker 2: where if Derek Redmond just wins the gold or wins

2023
01:41:38,160 --> 01:41:42,080
Speaker 2: the silver, you know it's another I'll.

2024
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 1: Give you another. I'll give you another one. Please carry Strug.

2025
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:47,400
Speaker 2: Carrie Strug's a great one. Kerry Strug a great one.

2026
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 3: I don't know I mean, yeah, we know who Simone

2027
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,000
Speaker 3: Biles is, and we know who Mary lou Redtin is,

2028
01:41:52,120 --> 01:41:54,519
Speaker 3: and there have been some gymnasts, right, there have been

2029
01:41:54,600 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 3: some some big tome stuff. But Carrie Strug was on

2030
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:00,720
Speaker 3: Saturday Night Live and she was on Sideaday Night Live

2031
01:42:00,920 --> 01:42:03,960
Speaker 3: because of the way she landed and the story with

2032
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:07,400
Speaker 3: the foot and bella COOLi at the time being kind

2033
01:42:07,439 --> 01:42:08,639
Speaker 3: of a sympathetic figure.

2034
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:09,719
Speaker 1: That would change.

2035
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 3: But Carrie Strugg was another one where the moment was

2036
01:42:13,600 --> 01:42:16,640
Speaker 3: bigger than the fact that they won the gold, like

2037
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,120
Speaker 3: it was more about the heart of that and she

2038
01:42:19,320 --> 01:42:21,760
Speaker 3: became again a celebrity because of it.

2039
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:27,040
Speaker 2: Very interesting thought. Again, Scotti Scheffler with a one stroke

2040
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 2: lead going into the final round of the Masters, and again,

2041
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 2: if you're just tuning in, the Master's leader, his wife

2042
01:42:33,520 --> 01:42:36,839
Speaker 2: is nine months pregnant and he said prior to the tournament,

2043
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:39,800
Speaker 2: he said, if she goes into labor, I will be

2044
01:42:39,920 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 2: leaving Fox Sports Radio eron towards Jason Martin broadcasting live

2045
01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 2: from the Tireck dot Com studios. One other story I

2046
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 2: want to get your perspective on, Jason. It comes from

2047
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,240
Speaker 2: the world to Baseball. We will discuss that next but

2048
01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 2: first final time for our show this evening, Steve Desager,

2049
01:42:56,120 --> 01:42:56,719
Speaker 2: what is trending?

2050
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,519
Speaker 7: Michael Jordan and the so called flu game as well. Yeah, sure,

2051
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:03,000
Speaker 7: I'm sorry. Willis Reid, Yeah, Willis Reid, and I think

2052
01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:04,920
Speaker 7: that was his only bucket nineteen seventy five.

2053
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 1: Hosts. Yep.

2054
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 2: That's the perfect analogy because he wasn't the star of

2055
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:13,719
Speaker 2: the game, but that moment became bigger than the result itself,

2056
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:15,320
Speaker 2: if you will. Now they had to win the game,

2057
01:43:15,360 --> 01:43:16,040
Speaker 2: but you get the point.

2058
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 7: As for Scheffler, he did reiterate today he'll withdraw from

2059
01:43:21,400 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 7: the Masters if his wife goes into labor. Quote, I'm

2060
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:27,120
Speaker 7: sticking to my word. You only have your first child once.

2061
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:31,040
Speaker 7: He is assuming that he will be in many Masters

2062
01:43:31,400 --> 01:43:34,760
Speaker 7: in his career. Scheffler is leading this tournament by one

2063
01:43:34,840 --> 01:43:38,559
Speaker 7: stroke over Colin Morikawa, who shot a third round sixty nine. Sunday.

2064
01:43:38,640 --> 01:43:41,560
Speaker 7: They'll start after two thirty pm Eastern time. Bryson to

2065
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 7: Shambo shot seventy five today, fell to fifth place four

2066
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:48,680
Speaker 7: shots back. Xander Schaffley is five back, Rory McElroy is

2067
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:52,519

2069
01:43:55,800 --> 01:43:59,720
Speaker 7: Brooks Keepko shot seventy six. Today, Tiger Wood shot eighty two,

2070
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:03,080
Speaker 7: worst round ever in a Major. He's now eleven over

2071
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 7: par as for the late ballgame in the Majors. The

2072
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:08,719
Speaker 7: Dodgers have the lead in the bottom of the seventh

2073
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:12,200
Speaker 7: against the Padres four to two. Mookie Betts with three hits.

2074
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 7: The rest of his team is three for twenty one

2075
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 7: at the plate. Bets with an RBI single in the fourth,

2076
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 7: with an RBI single in the sixth, they lead by

2077
01:44:20,080 --> 01:44:23,000
Speaker 7: two man. Ever since he became a Dodger, and it's

2078
01:44:23,080 --> 01:44:25,920
Speaker 7: been going on four years now, when he's on the

2079
01:44:26,040 --> 01:44:29,600
Speaker 7: whole offense is different. Starting pitcher for La tonight was

2080
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:32,240
Speaker 7: Gavin Stone. He had a perfect game till the top

2081
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:34,680
Speaker 7: of the sixth. He wound up pitching six and two

2082

Speaker 7: thirds innings. The Cubs hit three solo homers and won

2083

Speaker 7: the game at Seattle tonight four to one. San Francisco

2084
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:43,760

2089
01:44:56,600 --> 01:44:59,519

2090
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,920
Speaker 7: Pitcher Spencer Strider, who went twenty and five last year,

2091
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:05,840
Speaker 7: had his elbow surgery. He's officially out for the year.

2093

01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:54,559
Speaker 2: One do I think put a bow on a story

2144
01:47:54,640 --> 01:47:56,679
Speaker 2: that's been in the news here over the last couple weeks,

2145
01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:01,600
Speaker 2: and that is the situation involving sho hey Otani and

2146
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:06,880
Speaker 2: his now former translator Ipe Misahara Ibe was charged with

2147
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:12,400
Speaker 2: bank fraud on Friday, stole more than sixteen million dollars

2148
01:48:12,479 --> 01:48:15,960
Speaker 2: from Otani, basically taking full advantage of the fact that

2149
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 2: Otani did not speak the language of it. You know,

2150
01:48:18,520 --> 01:48:22,599
Speaker 2: according to the US attorneys, there was a bank account

2151
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:27,160
Speaker 2: that Otani essentially didn't even know existed that that misahara

2152
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:30,360
Speaker 2: was pulling money from, and the US attorney says that

2153
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,960
Speaker 2: there is no reason to believe that Shohei Otani was

2154
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:38,479
Speaker 2: aware of eBay's moves. Just your thoughts when you saw

2155
01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:40,240
Speaker 2: this story yesterday, Jay's just crazy.

2156
01:48:41,160 --> 01:48:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean I looked at it, and.

2157
01:48:45,479 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 3: You know, there's going to be some that are always

2158
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:50,519
Speaker 3: going to believe something else, but it sure does. I mean,

2159
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 3: I think to believe that Otani has his hands involved

2160
01:48:55,479 --> 01:48:58,920
Speaker 3: in this somewhere, you would have to really stretch your

2161
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:01,680
Speaker 3: own brain to think about how many people would have

2162
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:03,439
Speaker 3: had to have been in the tank to make sure

2163
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:04,679
Speaker 3: he was protected here.

2164
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 1: And that doesn't add up this.

2165
01:49:07,800 --> 01:49:11,360
Speaker 3: Just what is baffling is the versions of the story

2166
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:14,479
Speaker 3: that we got originally from this guy and then what

2167
01:49:14,640 --> 01:49:18,759
Speaker 3: turns out to be true. This just kept getting worse

2168
01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:23,360
Speaker 3: and worse for the interpreter and it's baffling to me.

2169
01:49:23,479 --> 01:49:25,760
Speaker 3: It seems like he's going to need new representation, he

2170
01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:28,160
Speaker 3: meaning Otani, like he needs some people a little bit

2171
01:49:28,200 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 3: quicker on the uptake. But this guy managed to pull

2172
01:49:32,080 --> 01:49:35,840
Speaker 3: this off for a lot longer than you would anticipate,

2173
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:41,759
Speaker 3: to a massive degree financially. And I can't even imagine,

2174
01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:45,719
Speaker 3: like imagine being Otani and being completely in the clear

2175
01:49:45,800 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 3: here and then now finding out just how deep and

2176
01:49:49,479 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 3: dark this whole thing got and how he had gotten

2177
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 3: into these various accounts and all this other stuff. I

2178
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:57,400
Speaker 3: don't even know what I would think, Like it's just

2179
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:00,600
Speaker 3: how did this happen? Underneath my nose? Like none of

2180
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:02,400
Speaker 3: the it just shows. And I read this in a

2181
01:50:02,439 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 3: couple of different treatments of this. Otani is so laser

2182
01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 3: focused on baseball mm hm that he sees nothing else.

2183
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:14,479
Speaker 3: Remember there's that famous deal about you know it's election day,

2184
01:50:14,560 --> 01:50:18,040
Speaker 3: but Nick Saban doesn't even know who's running for president because.

2185
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 1: He's so focused on college football. He's like, I don't

2186
01:50:20,479 --> 01:50:22,519
Speaker 1: even know all this stuff, Like do you believe that?

2187
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:22,760
Speaker 5: No?

2188
01:50:23,479 --> 01:50:27,719
Speaker 3: But that kind of like kind of almost tunnel vision

2189
01:50:27,960 --> 01:50:30,280
Speaker 3: to do this thing that makes you so great at

2190
01:50:30,320 --> 01:50:34,960
Speaker 3: it can sometimes make it very easy to take advantage

2191
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 3: of someone in that situation, and that appears to be

2192
01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:39,600
Speaker 3: what's happened. This is just kind of mind boggling, and

2193
01:50:39,640 --> 01:50:41,479
Speaker 3: I can't wait. There's gonna be a book written on this.

2194
01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,760
Speaker 3: There has to be right, that's gonna be a fun read.

2195
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, so I agree, and I think the

2196
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:49,120
Speaker 2: laser focus that was why.

2197
01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:49,600
Speaker 1: To me.

2198
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:53,240
Speaker 2: I never from the beginning, and I understand the story

2199
01:50:53,320 --> 01:50:55,800
Speaker 2: changed once or twice in the early stages of this,

2200
01:50:56,200 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 2: but that was why. I never like like the people

2201
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,479
Speaker 2: that immediately defaulted to, oh, he's covering for Otani. It's

2202
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:05,000
Speaker 2: like when you're hyper focused and you have more money

2203
01:51:05,080 --> 01:51:07,639
Speaker 2: than you know what to do with, Like I don't

2204
01:51:07,760 --> 01:51:10,800
Speaker 2: check my bank accounts every day, like you know, and

2205
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:12,760
Speaker 2: a guy with more money than he can ever spend,

2206
01:51:12,880 --> 01:51:14,240
Speaker 2: you know, it's funny. I just had a buddy who

2207
01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,200
Speaker 2: was you know, he's a Dodgers fan. I had lunch

2208
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 2: with him yesterday, who was actually in Asia over the

2209
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:22,719
Speaker 2: last month. He's like, dude, you don't understand. Otani's picture

2210
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,519
Speaker 2: is on everything, his face is on everything. Probably makes

2211
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 2: you know, we heard the reports when he signed the

2212
01:51:27,240 --> 01:51:29,479
Speaker 2: Dodgers contract, he makes so much an endorsements that he

2213
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:32,320
Speaker 2: can defer the baseball money. But I bring it up

2214
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 2: because you know, my whole thing, and and you know

2215
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:37,640
Speaker 2: it's funny, right, you know, we always analogize, but like,

2216
01:51:38,040 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the stuff you have to

2217
01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 2: explain to your people that don't know as much about sports.

2218
01:51:42,479 --> 01:51:44,360
Speaker 2: And you know, my wife was asking me about this,

2219
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:47,799
Speaker 2: and I was like, sweetie, you know, like so like me, Aaron,

2220
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:49,880
Speaker 2: I'm the one that pays the bills in the house, right,

2221
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:53,680
Speaker 2: and like, I'm not comparing our financial situation to Otani's,

2222
01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:57,080
Speaker 2: but she transfers money into our joint account every month

2223
01:51:57,240 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 2: for uh, for the electric bill and the water bill,

2224
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:02,560
Speaker 2: into this and the rent and that. And it's like,

2225
01:52:03,120 --> 01:52:06,479
Speaker 2: what if I was just skimming, you know, fifty percent

2226
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:08,760
Speaker 2: off for one hundred percent off or whatever, you know,

2227
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:12,559
Speaker 2: And it's like, now extrapolate that out to millions of dollars.

2228
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:16,640
Speaker 2: You're hyper focused on baseball when you don't have to

2229
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:19,920
Speaker 2: worry about money, that's probably when you're checking it the least.

2230
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:20,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

2231
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:22,599
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, there's the other variables of like, oh,

2232
01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:25,519
Speaker 2: he's in a foreign country, he doesn't speak the language,

2233
01:52:25,600 --> 01:52:28,360
Speaker 2: Like that's the sad part to me more than anything,

2234
01:52:28,439 --> 01:52:31,799
Speaker 2: is this guy so entrusted, Oh, Tony's so entrusted epe

2235
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:34,640
Speaker 2: with everything and to be betrayed like that. I just

2236
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:38,640
Speaker 2: think it's obviously like sad and you know, like frankly disgusting.

2237
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:42,600
Speaker 2: But it's also like I never understood why the immediate

2238
01:52:42,720 --> 01:52:45,240
Speaker 2: default was well, I mean, Epey has to.

2239
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: Be covering up for him.

2240
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:48,640
Speaker 2: Nothing else makes sense, Like I just never understood that.

2241
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:50,400
Speaker 1: No, it just it didn't add up.

2242
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:53,559
Speaker 3: I mean again, if you want to believe a conspiracy theory,

2243
01:52:54,240 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 3: then there's no stopping you. And usually evidence only adds

2244
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:01,560
Speaker 3: to your belief that there's a conspiracy. Like there's a

2245
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:04,000
Speaker 3: bunch of evidence that would then make the conspiracy theory

2246
01:53:04,080 --> 01:53:06,439
Speaker 3: fall apart. You say, oh, well, then look how high

2247
01:53:06,479 --> 01:53:09,680
Speaker 3: up this goes, Like now they're actually putting all this

2248
01:53:09,720 --> 01:53:11,720
Speaker 3: stuff out here to throw us off the track. Like

2249
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:14,439
Speaker 3: that's the problem is you can't really prove against it

2250
01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,600
Speaker 3: to the people that want to buy into it. But this,

2251
01:53:18,439 --> 01:53:22,240
Speaker 3: there's no there there, Like there really isn't. I'm happy

2252
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:25,800
Speaker 3: about this because baseball didn't need this, Like Otani is

2253
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,639
Speaker 3: too big a star, he's too valuable. We all want

2254
01:53:28,680 --> 01:53:33,040
Speaker 3: to see him. I don't think that this was This

2255
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:35,280
Speaker 3: is the best possible thing is to find out. It

2256
01:53:35,360 --> 01:53:38,040
Speaker 3: seems like his hands were indeed entirely clean, and he

2257
01:53:38,200 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 3: was just totally manipulated and swerved over.

2258
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. Let's get back to playing baseball.

2259
01:53:44,200 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 2: Very good. Well, we will get back to playing baseball,

2260
01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 2: and we will get back to the final segment of

2261
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:51,920
Speaker 2: the show. Some predictions for tomorrow, for Sunday in the

2262
01:53:51,960 --> 01:53:56,000
Speaker 2: week ahead. That's all next. Fox Sports Radio, Welcome back everybody,

2263
01:53:56,800 --> 01:53:59,839
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Eric Torres, Jason Martin. We are broadcast

2264
01:54:00,360 --> 01:54:03,800
Speaker 2: live from the Tireck dot Com studios taking up until

2265
01:54:03,880 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 2: two a m. Eastern time. Bernie Fratto over The Bernie

2266
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:12,759
Speaker 2: Fratto Show will follow us here in just a few moments. Jason,

2267
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:14,640
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and wrap the show. A couple of

2268
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:16,880
Speaker 2: things to kind of keep an eye on. The First thing,

2269
01:54:17,520 --> 01:54:20,439
Speaker 2: you know, we've talked a lot about Scotty Scheffler from

2270
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:24,320
Speaker 2: the perspective of, you know, will he won't he would

2271
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:26,759
Speaker 2: he actually leave? For people who missed it, Scotty Scheffler

2272
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:29,200
Speaker 2: one stroke lead going into the final round of the Masters,

2273
01:54:30,800 --> 01:54:33,080
Speaker 2: but his wife is currently nine months pregnant and he

2274
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:35,680
Speaker 2: has said, and Desager said just a minute ago that

2275
01:54:35,760 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 2: he has confirmed that if his wife goes into labor,

2276
01:54:38,560 --> 01:54:41,080
Speaker 2: he plans to leave. Doesn't matter if he's in the lead, whatever.

2277
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 2: But I bring it up, Jason, because assuming he finishes

2278
01:54:44,360 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 2: the round, he does have a one stroke lead on

2279
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:50,200
Speaker 2: Colin Moore Kama, two stroke lead on Max Homer, and

2280
01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:52,920
Speaker 2: obviously the field is behind him. Bryson d. Schambeau is

2281
01:54:52,920 --> 01:54:57,000
Speaker 2: about four strokes back, Xander Schaffley about five strokes back.

2282
01:54:58,280 --> 01:54:58,440
Speaker 1: You know.

2283
01:54:58,720 --> 01:55:01,040
Speaker 2: Now, I know it's an unpredictable but you certainly know

2284
01:55:01,120 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 2: it better than I do, Jason. Assuming that we get

2285
01:55:04,400 --> 01:55:07,080
Speaker 2: Scotti Scheffler to the finish line, what do you expect

2286
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 2: from Tomorrow's from Sunday Augusta.

2287
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's certainly got He's got everything that it

2288
01:55:12,440 --> 01:55:15,800
Speaker 3: takes to win this thing. Again, he's number one in

2289
01:55:15,840 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 3: the world for a reason. You have multiple golfers. Actually,

2290
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:22,440
Speaker 3: I think say that directly after round three he's going

2291
01:55:22,520 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 3: to have to falter. I don't know that somebody's gonna

2292
01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:28,360
Speaker 3: be able to go too much lower than what he like.

2293
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,120
Speaker 3: He doesn't strike me as a guy that's going to

2294
01:55:31,160 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 3: go out there and have a five over kind of day.

2295
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean Deshamba had a miserable finish to his round

2296
01:55:38,520 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 3: today or yesterday and pretty much took him out of contention.

2297
01:55:41,280 --> 01:55:43,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he could go low again and get close.

2298
01:55:43,160 --> 01:55:47,960
Speaker 3: But you have seen, you know, some guys detonate on

2299
01:55:48,040 --> 01:55:50,880
Speaker 3: the back nine. You've famously seen Norman do it, You've

2300
01:55:50,920 --> 01:55:53,920
Speaker 3: seen speak do it. You see anythink McElroy has done

2301
01:55:53,960 --> 01:55:56,760
Speaker 3: it like it has happened before it could happen to him,

2302
01:55:56,880 --> 01:55:58,800
Speaker 3: It's happened to some of the best we've ever seen.

2303
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:02,360
Speaker 3: It's a course that it's a challenge, and it's also

2304
01:56:02,480 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 3: a drama on the back nine.

2305
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 1: Of what it does to you mentally, I think is

2306
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,080
Speaker 1: just as important as the golf itself.

2307
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:14,560
Speaker 3: Golf's difficult enough psychologically to add in that tournament, and

2308
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 3: for Scheffler adding in what's happening within his family and

2309
01:56:19,480 --> 01:56:23,919
Speaker 3: just every emotion that runs through a man's mind, especially

2310
01:56:24,040 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 3: in the days leading up to the birth of their

2311
01:56:26,040 --> 01:56:26,960
Speaker 3: first child.

2312
01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 1: And are you ready? And the answer is never, are you?

2313
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:33,000
Speaker 1: But you're gonna be all right, Like everything's gonna be fine.

2314
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:36,720
Speaker 1: But so there's a lot going on. I don't know

2315
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:38,480
Speaker 1: that I would pick against him. I wouldn't.

2316
01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:41,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I had somebody ask me at an event

2317
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:44,520
Speaker 3: on Friday night, you know, would you take a bet

2318
01:56:44,880 --> 01:56:47,280
Speaker 3: if I offered you just kind of for fun, said,

2319
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,120
Speaker 3: I'll offer you five bucks. I'll take Scheffler to win

2320
01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:52,200
Speaker 3: the thing said on Friday, And I said, look.

2321
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:54,480
Speaker 1: That you make sense. I think you would always take.

2322
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:57,520
Speaker 3: The field unless it was Tiger Woods in the late nineties,

2323
01:56:57,560 --> 01:57:01,880
Speaker 3: early two thousands at that course. I just I feel

2324
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 3: like I would take Tiger. You could have the field

2325
01:57:04,640 --> 01:57:08,240
Speaker 3: in this case. I think we're about as close to saying, yeah,

2326
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:10,360
Speaker 3: I take Shuffler. I think he will win it.

2327
01:57:10,480 --> 01:57:10,680
Speaker 4: I do.

2328
01:57:12,040 --> 01:57:14,080
Speaker 1: If he finishes the round, I think he will win it.

2329
01:57:14,920 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 1: But it is.

2330
01:57:18,680 --> 01:57:21,200
Speaker 3: It's just it's dumb to pick a golf tournament because

2331
01:57:21,240 --> 01:57:24,560
Speaker 3: of how difficult it is and how unique the circumstances are,

2332
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:26,840
Speaker 3: and how from one moment to the next, you know,

2333
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:31,720
Speaker 3: so many unbelievable kind of crazy things can happen. But

2334
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,200
Speaker 3: I feel like, if he finishes the round, I think

2335
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 3: it's a very very good chance that he's wearing the

2336
01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:37,840
Speaker 3: green jack at.

2337
01:57:37,760 --> 01:57:38,160
Speaker 1: The end of it.

2338
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:41,200
Speaker 3: Although I will say this, the guy that happens to

2339
01:57:41,280 --> 01:57:43,120
Speaker 3: be right behind him, who, by the way, said, he's

2340
01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:44,240
Speaker 3: not afraid.

2341
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:45,280
Speaker 1: Of this moment.

2342
01:57:45,720 --> 01:57:50,040
Speaker 3: Kola Morrikawa when he is on, I'm not sure anybody's better.

2343
01:57:50,760 --> 01:57:53,280
Speaker 3: He's just kind of struggled in recent in the last

2344
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:55,960
Speaker 3: couple of years after being dominant prior to that fact.

2345
01:57:56,880 --> 01:57:59,280
Speaker 1: If that dude shows up the way we saw him

2346
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:01,680
Speaker 1: in like twenty two, we won somewhere in that range.

2347
01:58:02,400 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 1: Look Out.

2348
01:58:03,200 --> 01:58:04,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's what you're gonna get, but

2349
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 3: if you do, then that final pairing is gonna be

2350
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:12,160
Speaker 3: dynamite to watch. It's gonna be a golfer's dream just

2351
01:58:12,240 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 3: to sit there and watch Scheffler and Morikawa go back

2352
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 3: and forth.

2353
01:58:16,240 --> 01:58:19,040
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, I'm gonna completely shift gears

2354
01:58:19,640 --> 01:58:23,760
Speaker 2: to a completely different sport. But obviously, look, Disager just

2355
01:58:23,840 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 2: referenced it. Tomorrow's the final day of the NBA regular

2356
01:58:26,240 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 2: season playoffs. Obviously, playing games begin Tuesday, and then obviously

2357
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:34,840
Speaker 2: the bracket itself is set for Saturday. We only got

2358
01:58:34,840 --> 01:58:36,800
Speaker 2: a couple of minutes here left, Jason, is there one

2359
01:58:36,960 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 2: storyline more than any other that stands out to you

2360
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:40,440
Speaker 2: this year in the playoffs?

2361
01:58:40,640 --> 01:58:42,600
Speaker 1: The only thing? I mean, Look, I'm a thunderfan, so

2362
01:58:42,640 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what my team can do this year.

2363
01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:50,520
Speaker 1: I think that the biggest.

2364
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 3: Storyline, at least for me, is just the Bucks with

2365
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:57,120
Speaker 3: Doc Rivers and how this whole thing is played out.

2366
01:58:58,240 --> 01:59:01,120
Speaker 3: They're just not scaring teams you would think they would

2367
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 3: based on the talent on that team. It just they

2368
01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:07,280
Speaker 3: don't seem like. It just doesn't seem like they're gonna

2369
01:59:07,280 --> 01:59:10,320
Speaker 3: be that dangerous. They just there's something off about that

2370
01:59:10,600 --> 01:59:13,440
Speaker 3: entire team. It just feels like since that coaching move

2371
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:16,880
Speaker 3: was made and everything else, they just haven't felt right.

2372
01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:20,080
Speaker 3: They're three and seven in their last ten games going

2373
01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:23,600
Speaker 3: into this even though the number two seed in the East.

2374
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:26,920
Speaker 1: But I think that's maybe the most interesting thing to me.

2375
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:29,080
Speaker 3: Also, I think you could look at him beat and

2376
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:32,280
Speaker 3: just the fact that he's come back, what you know,

2377
01:59:32,360 --> 01:59:33,720
Speaker 3: how good can he be and how far.

2378
01:59:33,720 --> 01:59:37,040
Speaker 1: Can he lead the Sixers into the postseason. I find

2379
01:59:37,080 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: those to be really fascinating.

2380
01:59:38,680 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll just say this. And the opposite spectrum the

2381
01:59:41,800 --> 01:59:45,320
Speaker 2: Boston Celtics. They've been so dominant in the regular season.

2382
01:59:45,440 --> 01:59:48,240
Speaker 2: To your point, you know, the Knicks are without Julius Randall,

2383
01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:51,320
Speaker 2: the Bucks are a mess, all that good stuff. Celtics,

2384
01:59:51,360 --> 01:59:53,040
Speaker 2: it's there it's your year, man, you got to get

2385
01:59:53,080 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 2: back to the finals. I think this is the year

2386
01:59:54,600 --> 01:59:56,600
Speaker 2: they got to win it. That's all for the show.

2387
01:59:56,720 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 2: We will have plenty of time to talk NBA playoffs

2388
01:59:58,520 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 2: these next few weeks, but we got to go. I

2389
01:59:59,560 --> 02:00:02,320
