1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: The volume. Hi, everybody, welcome in for an instant reaction.

2
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:20,239
Speaker 1: As the Celtics cut the Miami Heat series lead. The

3
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: three to two Celtics took control. We figured they would

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 1: no Gabe Vincent, Tyler Harroll could never play in this series,

5
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: and the last couple of games Miami has really felt

6
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: like they were down a shooter or two. Both teams

7
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: actually shot the ball very well tonight, according to Stan

8
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Van Gundy. He said at the end of the game,

9
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: Boston was like, I don't know thirty eight and two

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: when they shot over forty percent on threes this year,

11
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: and they did again tonight. So they've quickened the pace

12
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: since being down three to zero in the series. They're

13
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: moving it. That means they're getting better shots. There are

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: excuses and there are reasons. I don't think Miami's talented

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: enough to miss both Tyler Hero and Gabe Vincent and

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: went on the road. I think They're going to go

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: back home and win and shut out the series, and

18
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: then Tyler Hero and Vincent will both be available for

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: the Denver Nuggets, and I think it's a really good finals.

20
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: I don't care what their ratings are, you know, I

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: was thinking about this is that I've probably bounced around

22
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: the country just because of my job more than the

23
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: average person. Some of you have lived one or two

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: other places, but you know, as many of you know,

25
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: I grew up in the Northwest, and then I went

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: to Vegas, and then I went to Tampa. Then I

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: went back to the Northwest. That I went to the

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: East Coast, which I love for eleven years, and then

29
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: now I'm in Los Angeles. So I don't have this

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: burning loyalty or passion for individual teams. There are certain

31
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: players I really liked Tom Brady Lebron. Obviously, I'm a

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: fan of the Warriors, but I was a fan of

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots when I lived in the Northeast, just because

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: of the efficiency and the intelligence of the coaching and

35
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: the players. I like smart sports. I like Lincoln Riley.

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: I think he's really smart. I like Jim Harbaugh. I

37
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: think he's really smart. My wife grew up in Michigan.

38
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Why would I like the Wolverines. I just think Harball

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: wins everywhere. His teams get tough, they get efficient, they

40
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: get smart. So I'm kind of wherever I move, I

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: watch sports for that region heavily. I can remember being

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: in the Northeast and really getting into the Red Sox,

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: really getting into the Yankee Series, and then loving the

44
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: vacation in Rhode Island and Nantucket. I still miss it.

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I still miss the Northeast. I go there every summer.

46
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: So I don't have this birding loyalty or passion for

47
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: any one team, maybe outside of USC football, which I

48
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: like poking people in the ribs. I don't even know

49
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: if I like them as much as I say I do,

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: but I like to irritate people sometimes it's a personality flaw.

51
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: But I do think there I root for interesting. I

52
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: think Boston's a fascinating team. If they lose, if they win,

53
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: they're back in the finals. They could certainly beat Denver.

54
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: I would take Denver, but it would be very close.

55
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I think Denver would have the better coach, a dominant

56
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: the best player in Jokich, and multiple scores. I think

57
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: Boston would be the better defensive team. I think Denver

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: would be the more efficient offensive team, with an edge

59
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: clearly in coaching. Plus it's harder to win in Denver,

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: certainly this year if you look at the Celtics record,

61
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: than it is to win in Boston. So I would

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: take them in like six games, the Nuggets. But there

63
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: are certain teams, and I think Boston's one of those.

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: When you get a franchise that has great history and

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: high expectations like the Celtics, and they have this group

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: and they can't quite get the ring yet. Now Tatum's

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: only twenty five. You got to be patient. But you know,

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: this is a city that's had Bill Russell with eleven titles,

69
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Bobby Orr and the Bruins KG and the Celtics won

70
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: a title, Paul Pierce Reel and Coach Dock Rivers. So

71
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: there's a history here that when they're good, they win,

72
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: and this team is one of those. When they're really good,

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: they didn't win last year and they just feel like

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: they don't quite deliver in big games, often at home.

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: So I think Miami goes and wins again. But I

76
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: think I think the Celtics are a fascinating team. And

77
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: remember both Jalen Brown and Tatum have qualified for the Max,

78
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: so they have to pay over six hundred million dollars

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: to those two players. Now, if they come back, Dad

80
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: is going to absolutely limit what you can surround them with,

81
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: and you're not going to be able to just go

82
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: get a brogged in and you're going to be thin.

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the reality is. Once you pay multiple players,

84
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: you don't have much of a bench. So, like I

85
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: think this is really a results driven decision. If they

86
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: can win a championship, you pay them the money. If

87
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: they can't get to the final, I think you have

88
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: to consider moving Jalen Brown because I think you can

89
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: get a ton form. One of the things I've learned

90
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: through the years watching sports, and never every time you

91
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: think a player is unmovable John Wall Westbrook, somebody always

92
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: one on talent, somebody always thinks they can solve a

93
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: player's issue, don't kid yourself. Jalen Brown has no issues.

94
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 1: His hands injured, so he's not shooting it particularly well.

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: You could get you could get first round picks, you

96
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: could get a starter and a bench player. You could

97
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: get a ton for Jalen Brown. And this idea that

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: you know when I throw out my Warriors idea, Wiggins

99
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: a draft pick in Jordan Poole. Whether it happens or not,

100
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: if you can't get to the finals, this was the

101
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: year to get to the finals. Mbiden Harden unraveled, Miami

102
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: knocked him off for you. Miami was down, Tyler Hero,

103
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: twenty point a game guy. Cavaliers were too young. Tibbs

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: is a culture guy. He's too RIGI and the Knicks

105
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: are absolutely going to get somebody and be better next year,

106
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: Like this is the year to win it. The Bucks

107
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 1: got bounced. They were too old. It was laid out

108
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: for you. And by the way, Victor Oladipo comes back

109
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: next year, Tyler Hero, if you played the Heat again,

110
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: would be back next year. So this will be a

111
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: better Miami team next year. So this is the year.

112
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: If you can't get to the finals, get there. Got

113
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: to take phone calls. So it's very results based decision

114
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: for the Celtics, which I think makes Game six in

115
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: Miami absolutely fascinating. If Gabe Vincent plays, I take Miami close,

116
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: Miami four or five points. First three went to the Heat,

117
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: next to go to the Celtics. It's been a streaky series.

118
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: I'd take Miami all right, quick break two non sports topics.

119
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm not going to see you guys for a week

120
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: right after this. How great have the NBA Playoffs been

121
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 1: so far? If you live in one of those cities

122
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: and wanted to go to the games, there is only

133
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: one of the things that's a big turnoff for me

134
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: in the political media. And there's a handful of people

135
00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: I really respect and like, but if I know, I

136
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: know which way you're leaning, it's kind of a non

137
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: starter for me. I'm not really interested in partisan politics

138
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: from reporters and pundits, and it's very, very hard to

139
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: find those people. So when Elon Musk bought Twitter, the media,

140
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,559
Speaker 1: the conservative media all supported him. Left leaning media didn't

141
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: give him a chance. And my takeaway is, I'm a

142
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: pretty independent voter. I've voted for you know right and left,

143
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: and I feel like sometimes I'm on a very small

144
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: island with non crazy people and everybody twenty percent of

145
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: conservatives are batshit crazy far right, and twenty percent of

146
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: liberals are left of Hollywood. I just feel like there's

147
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: this island and I'm on it. Of independence who socially

148
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 1: lean left and maybe fiscally or moderates or lean right.

149
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: I know there's a lot more people we think because

150
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: they don't go on Twitter. Remember, ninety five million Americans

151
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: are on Twitter. The country has three hundred and thirty

152
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: five million people. Most people are not on sixty five

153
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: seventy percent of Americans are not engaged on social media

154
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: giving you their opinion. So the independence and the moderates,

155
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: they're mostly mostly not hanging out. So I felt with

156
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: Elon Musk taking over Twitter, I just wanted to give

157
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: him a fair shake, and I said it, I'm going

158
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: to give him three four months I started the volume.

159
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: It took me nine months to a year to hire

160
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: a staff management. We made a lot of mistakes, So

161
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: you have a right when you buy a company for

162
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: forty some billion dollars to make mistakes. But I will

163
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: say I'm never going to leave Twitter, and if I do,

164
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to announce it. I don't need the attention.

165
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: If I'm going to leave it, I'm going to leave it.

166
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: But my takeaway is it's gotten significantly worse. Too many

167
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: fight videos, too much violence, too many small commercials. I'm

168
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: constantly muting. I probably I was never somebody who blocked

169
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: a ton of people, and mostly just mute people who

170
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: are annoying or trolls. I have a lot of filters

171
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: on mind, so I don't really see a lot, nor

172
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,319
Speaker 1: I don't run it all the time. I have people

173
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: on my staff at the volume or FS one that

174
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: kind of run all my social I have I think

175
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: seven eight social accounts. I don't know the password to

176
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: any of them. Twitter is the only one I'm on.

177
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: So I don't follow a lot and read a lot,

178
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: but I do from time to time. I go and

179
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: read articles and I want to see the response of

180
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: people to other people's articles. It's more nasty comments, way

181
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: more violence, too many commercials, and for me, it's a

182
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: massive turn off. So instead of complaining about it, I

183
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: just I just don't go on it much. And you know, Friday,

184
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: when my show's over, a lot of times, I'll put

185
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: that puppy down until Sunday. Maybe I'll have somebody on

186
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: the staff tweet stuff. But I try to be fair.

187
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I try to be reasonable. I think Twitter's never been

188
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 1: more corrosive. I think those images of constant violence, I

189
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: think they're bad on your psyche. I think they're I

190
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: think they're bad for all of us. Left right, independent, man, woman,

191
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: old young. I think it's bad for all of us.

192
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: So I gave Elon Musk a shot. It's not political.

193
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't give a rip. It's just Twitter today is

194
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: ugle ear that it's been, and I go on it less.

195
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Second opinion I had, there's a big writers strike, and

196
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,119
Speaker 1: you know, nobody outside of you know, LA and Hollywood

197
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: cares much about what Hollywood thinks. But I will tell

198
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: you I've known two or three people in my life

199
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: who are actors, not many, and I've known a half

200
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: dozen writers, and I always had I always try to simplify,

201
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, complex negotiations. Maybe I'm not smart enough to

202
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: figure out the complex stuff. But I always thought my

203
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 1: wife and I'll sit down and watch a streaming show

204
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: and she really gets into him, and she's got a

205
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: really good eye for writing, and we will if we

206
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: start a Hulu show or a Netflix show, or an

207
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: Amazon Prime show or a Paramount show, whatever it is.

208
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: I like Acorn, which is more British stuff. It feels

209
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: more realistic. People don't look like Ryan Gosling, you know,

210
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: or Tom Cruise. It doesn't matter who the actors are.

211
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: If the writing is poor, we'll turn it off. We'll

212
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: give it about ten minutes. If the writing stinks, I mean,

213
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: if the writing's bad early, if you can't sell me

214
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: in the first ten minutes, then what's the middle of

215
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: it going to sound like? And so I bet you

216
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: I've watched a dozen streaming shows, Acorn, Hulu. I don't

217
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,119
Speaker 1: know any of the actors. Now I don't buy People magazine.

218
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm not into that stuff. But I don't know any

219
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: of the actors, and I'm completely utterly captivated because the

220
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: writing's great. There's a reason even great actors Robert de Niro,

221
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner, Denzel Washington, Hanks, Michael Keaton, there's a reason

222
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 1: they've been in bad movies. They didn't become worse actors.

223
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: The writing sucked. And one of the things I was

224
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: told very early in this business that musicians get taken

225
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: for a ride because the suits, you know, the corporate

226
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: heads always looked at musicians as really vulnerable and not

227
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: really paying attention to the bottom line before it was

228
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: too late. And second in that was you know, in

229
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: Hollywood a lot of times, you know, they put their

230
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: thumb on the people. I mean, if you didn't have

231
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: a union for writers, you think they'd pay them. So

232
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: I've always fallen on the writers. Just watching television, A

233
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: very simplistic solution is good writers equal good series. Doesn't

234
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: matter how good the acting is. Now I'm not saying

235
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: I always feel like with actors there are a little

236
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: bit like play by play announcers. I've never watched as

237
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: good as Joe Buck and Troy Akminar, as good as

238
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: Jim nance is now Michaels. I've never watched a game

239
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: because of them, but they do have an ability to

240
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: elevate my experience of the game. Now, in an opinion

241
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: show or a talk show, I will watch Bill Maher's

242
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,440
Speaker 1: show only if Bill Maher is on, and that's why

243
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: he makes more. I will only listen to a podcast

244
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: if the star podcaster is on. Play by play, guys,

245
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to watch the game, a bad guy can

246
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: erode the quality of the experience. I feel the same

247
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: way with actors. I'm not saying that Tom Hanks doesn't

248
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: make a movie better. Don Cheadle, Ed Norton, Meryl Streem.

249
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they don't make a movie better. But

250
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: if the writing's good, I really don't care about the actors.

251
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: I really don't. For all the technology and all the

252
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: advancements in society, very few things are more entertaining to

253
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: me and make me happier than a great movie or

254
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: a great streaming show at a great sporting event on TV.

255
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm a old school I love sit in front

256
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: of a and watch a great movie, a great streaming show,

257
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: or a great game. And who creates great sports the athletes,

258
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: but they need coaches. Who creates the great streaming shows?

259
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: The actors, and they need great writers. So as I

260
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: drive around, I'm one of those nerds who occasionally honks

261
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: to show support for the writers. It's very liberal of me.

262
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: I'm going on a vacation with my son talking a week.

263
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: The volume
