But give credit to Booker, you know, playing 11 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: with what looked like a broken nose. He had a 12 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: set of screen and allowed DeAndre Ayton to release get 13 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: to the rim and Jay Crowder through a perfect lab pass. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,919 Speaker 1: The valley oop is what they're calling it. We say 15 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: good morning to our radio and TV partners, Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio, 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: Peacock's our streaming service, download the app and you can 17 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: watch for free our Twitter handle at DP show phone 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 1: number eight seven seven three DP show Tonight, Hawks Bucks 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: Game one, the Pistons win the NBA Draft lottery. Spend 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: a little bit of time talking about pictures being investigated, 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: basically doing a strip search. It's almost like TSA at 22 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: the airport for pictures where you walk through. I always 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: feel like I accomplished something when I make it through 24 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 1: TSA like I do hold my breath. I have nothing 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: to hide, but I do feel like I accomplished something, like, Yes, 26 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: I made it through TSA. Yeah. Poll And then do 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: you look back at someone in your party and at 28 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: beefs You're like, come on, you're holding this all? It 29 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: takes two seconds? Yeah? All right? Poll question McLevin, what 30 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: are we gonna go with you? Okay, we put this up. 31 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 1: Would you rather have they continue reviews and slow down 32 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: the end of the games or have no reviews and 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: risk getting calls wrong? Fifty two want to keep reviews? Okay, 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: here's something for you. How long do you think the 35 00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: last ninety seconds of Game two took? So a minute 36 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: and a half on the clock. How long did it 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: take to play ninety seconds of basketball? Pauli seventeen minutes, 38 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: seventeen minutes, Todd twenty one minutes, Mick Lovin thirteen minutes, 39 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Seaton O'Connor ninety five seconds. No, that's just good at 40 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Can you be serious for a change? So 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,399 Speaker 1: probably not? Probably not? No. Thirty three minutes thirty three 42 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: minutes to play ninety seconds of basketball. That's unacceptable of 43 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: the day. Dad, thanks today, But if it's unacceptable, you 44 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: would have turned it off, you know what I mean? 45 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: Like Todd Todd came in today fired about it, like 46 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people do. I'm not saying pointing out Todd, 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 1: but everyone said it's awful. It's too But you still 48 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: have to watch because you want to see the completion 49 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: of the game. Tired of the game the longer takes, 50 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: some more people stay, but they have us. I have 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: no other choice except for I'll read about it in 52 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: the morning. There were as many views as field goals 53 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 1: in the last ninety seconds five Now did it pay off? Yes, 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: it was an unbelievable finish there. And now the series 55 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: shifts to Los Angeles. I don't know if Kawhi Leonard 56 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: is going to play. If I'm the Phoenix Suns, I 57 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: prepare for Kawhi Leonard to maybe come back in games 58 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: six and seven, if there is a Game six or 59 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: Game seven. But in the moment, you have to look 60 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: at Game three, is we have to win this game, 61 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: because if you win Game three, you're winning this series. 62 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: But if you lose and he comes back. Here we 63 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: go again with the Clippers down ZO two and Chris 64 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: Paul is not cleared yet. Do I think Chris Paul 65 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: plays in Game three? I would say more than likely. 66 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: It's back in Los Angeles. Chris has been quarantining there. 67 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: But I don't want to run the risk of Kawhi 68 00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: Leonard coming back and being Kawhi Leonard in a big moment. 69 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Win game three. Make sure that you don't go, hey, 70 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: we've already got two games. If we come out of 71 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: here with a split, like you have to go in going, 72 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: we have to win game three because if Kawhi comes 73 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: back in game five, maybe even game six, if you 74 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: get there, then this is a different series. But you 75 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: know it's it feels like Phoenix is the best team 76 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: in the playoffs right now. But imagine if it was 77 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: the Hawks in the Suns for the NBA Championship. Now, 78 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I don't sit here and go, oh, that's gonna be 79 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: terrible for ratings, Like I don't watch a game going, 80 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: I wonder what the rating is on this. I couldn't 81 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: care less. If you watch it, great if you don't, Okay, Now, 82 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: do I factor in sometimes what we cover based off 83 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: what you're watching. Yes, but as a sports fan, I've 84 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: never gone you know, I watched Sacramento King games for 85 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: God's sakes, I'm not worried about who's watching that. But 86 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: you get caught up in oh, what's this gonna mean? 87 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: You know, smaller markets don't have Marquis play. Okay, Like, 88 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: is this an aberration anomaly? Is this gonna be something that, Hey, 89 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: these teams are gonna be back here? Like, all right, 90 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: enjoy it. Yeah, I'm like glove it. But could you 91 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: argue the quality players down because there's so many back 92 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: you know, he's on a campaign from the G League. 93 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: You know you're not getting the elite players in this 94 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: final four? Oh? I care? Is competitive series, that's it, 95 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: even if it's not the best guys. I mean, guys 96 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: are shooting like you're seeing like three for twenties all over. Okay, 97 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: but when did you go when the Kansas City Royals 98 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: won the World Series? That did you go? Now? You 99 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: know what, we're not really seeing a high standard of 100 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: baseball here. Yeah, because we weren't really seeing it because 101 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: we were really watching it. Okay, do you have the 102 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: preseason odds PAULI to win the championship. And where did 103 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: these teams rank? Lakers were the favorite. You could have 104 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: got him at plus two seventy five, Milwaukee Bucks Nets 105 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: Clippers Clippers were fourth. The Atlanta Hawks were right in 106 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: the middle at ten thousand one. You could have got 107 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: them at ten to one and win the NBA title. 108 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: Let's see the Suns. The Suns jumped up a lot. 109 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: They were four thousand and one. Because of what happened 110 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: in the bubble, their odds went way up. It's been 111 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: a strange postseason, an easy to lose track of just 112 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 1: how odd the Atlanta hawks presidence in the Eastern Conference 113 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: has really been. They were fourteen and twenty when they 114 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: fired Lloyd Pierce and named Nate McMillan as the head coach. 115 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: They've gone thirty five and fifteen to get to this round. 116 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: They had to win three games on the road against 117 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: the seventy six ers, Trey Young five of twenty three 118 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: in Game seven. They still won, but even the most 119 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: optimistic Hawks fan had to admit they couldn't see the 120 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: Hawks getting this far. This is a team that has 121 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 1: been to one other conference final in fifty years. They've 122 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: had good teams. Remember twenty fourteen, they won sixty games 123 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: with Al Horford and Paul Millsap. They were competitive during 124 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: the Dominique Wilkins era, but they kept running into the 125 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: Boston Celtics. But this is a big step for a 126 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: young franchise, young team, not a young franchise, but a 127 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: young team there going against the favored Milwaukee Bucks. I 128 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: just sit back and enjoy this stuff. I don't go 129 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, should Kevin Hurder be playing in a Eastern 130 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: Conference finals or who's John Collins? I just I just 131 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: want to see a competitive series. Yeah, McClellan. That twenty 132 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: fourteen Hawks. That's remember we had the Hall of Good. 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: That is like the ultimate team with Millsap, Al Horford, Shrewder. 134 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: Who's on that team? I think Demari Carroll. Yeah, that 135 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: was showtime, not exactly. Murderers line up there, Murders Row. 136 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: DeAndre Aighton talked about the game winning Ali oop after 137 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 1: the game, as I said that first screen of camp 138 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: I said, I said, I try to set set up 139 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: Zoo black to you know, for book to have a 140 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: good angle winner. And I believe once my feet touched 141 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: the paint where I can go off right left one too. 142 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: Not many people are going to be up there with me. 143 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: So that's why that's where I got confident at once 144 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: I really got that guy there. Nobody bumped me or 145 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: you know, it was up and that was it. He's 146 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: got a lot of personality and he has grown. When 147 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: you watch a player and you actually see him improve, 148 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: you see that with DeAndre Ayton, and he doesn't have 149 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: the shadow on him or the spotlight on him that 150 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: Trey Young does. Because we tend to look at Luca 151 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: don Chick and Trey Young as the marquee players who 152 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: came out of that draft a couple of years ago. 153 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: DeAndre Ayton was number one overall pick. And he's not 154 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: a bust. He's not great, at least not great yet, 155 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: but he's very good and he held his own against 156 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: the Joker like he's he's played big and and you 157 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: know that's all you're asking for was somebody that young. 158 00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: Do you show up? And he has so far the 159 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: postseason this year. Let's get some phone calls here. We 160 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: didn't talk about the pictures. Could we come up with 161 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: you know I mentioned TSA, it's the TSA for pictures. 162 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: Could you come up with a dog that you could 163 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 1: just bring the dog out, or bring the picture over 164 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: and let the dogs sniff you, you know, like a 165 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: foreign substance sniffing dog there. Imagine if you had that 166 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: in seventies. Oh yikes, different substance. Yeah, in all sports. 167 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: That was all Saint Louis Cardinal teams, remember that. Yah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 168 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: the the entire NBA back in the seven. So you're saying, 169 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: have a nice little good boy out there right by 170 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: the baseline, just smelling the picture. Yeah. Everyone loves a dog. Yeah, yeah, 171 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: you get a cute dog like Westminster Dog Show and 172 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: a baseball game. And then when when someone's got the 173 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,199 Speaker 1: spider tack, he just attacks the arm press on the ground. 174 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: He grabs his glove and if he finds one, you 175 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: give him doggie cheats instead of doggie cheats, little snack. 176 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let it go. I'm anna let it go, 177 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: let it go. I'm not giving you mock headlines today. 178 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: You're not nothing in there that floats your boat. You've 179 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: had a pretty good day. The limerick you hand earlier 180 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: was good. Do you do you want to roll the dice? 181 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna roll the dine. Of course you are, 182 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: of course you are. Any airtime is better than no 183 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: airtime for you. If you don't think they're good, I 184 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: I can do it. Here we go mock headline sounds 185 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: over the Clippers, and here is Todd Fritz Eighton's enough, 186 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 1: do not repeat, just move on. Curious about George hey 187 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: Crowder instead of Jay Crowder, I went with hay Crowder. 188 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 1: Do not repeat, don't hate No. If if you have 189 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: to explain pain, don't hurt, Cameron says. Otherwise, Little Roadhouse, 190 00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: the full Monty complete game plan for coach Williams Alley Oops. 191 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: Clippers not prepared for that. You could have gone Valley Oops, 192 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: but Valey Oops would have been good. Patrick experiencing Beverly 193 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: hills and valleys. That's not good. Tyron who coach on 194 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: hot seats? Why not? But he fits my mock headline. 195 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I and my last one was 196 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: losing like that. It's like kissing your cousins. Yes, yes, 197 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: point you ever see those videos on YouTube where like 198 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,119 Speaker 1: a five thousand meter runner is winning and is celebrating 199 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: down the thing like the backstretch, and then loses to 200 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: a guy at the end and is that it was fritzy. 201 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: He was having a really good dayn all your trip, 202 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: were you looking back? And because you look back, you 203 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: kind of stumbled a little. We reached out to Major 204 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: League Baseball. I was curious if if Baseball should have 205 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: capped this the number of times that you can investigate 206 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: a picture and let you can only do it twice. 207 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: That's it. If the umpire wants to do it again, 208 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 1: then the umpire can. A man. Manager will be subject 209 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: to discipline if he makes the request in bad faith. 210 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: Now I don't know if Joe Girardi made the third 211 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: call to investigate Max Scherzer in bad faith. If a 212 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: manager makes a request for inspection, the umpire will determine 213 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: whether and when to inspect the picture, taking into account 214 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: when the pitcher was last inspected and whether the request 215 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: was made in good faith. If they determined the request 216 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: was made in bad faith, then you would ject the manager. 217 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: Why didn't we wait till the start of next season? 218 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 1: All right? Yes, Setan, I love how indignant Max Scherzer 219 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: is over being questioned about this. Oh I know. I mean, 220 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: dude is named in a lawsuit about this very problem 221 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 1: about using these very substances, and he's gonna have the 222 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: nerve to be like, well, me. You're gonna question me 223 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: multiple time, me taking my pants off? Dude, get a grip. 224 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: How about before June twenty first and since June twenty first, 225 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: batting averages Before June twenty batting averages to thirty nine. 226 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: Since the crackdown, or at least the memo was sent 227 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: out that they were going to crack down, batting averages 228 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: have dropped. They're down to two twenty three. Baseball wanted 229 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: to get some batting averages back up there, and this 230 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: hasn't helped right now. But you're going to investigate a picture, 231 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: and they know you're going to investigate them. You know, 232 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: we used to do this. Remember there, if you were 233 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: in a dorm, there was an RA and the RA 234 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: would sometimes you know, check your room for beer or 235 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: whatever else contraband so imagine if they said, hey, an 236 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: hour before the RA came by your dorm room, somebody 237 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: said hey, the ra's coming by. So you clear out 238 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 1: the beer and the weed, and then you the RA 239 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 1: comes in and you're like, what are you check in 240 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: here for? Go ahead, check all over the place. I 241 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: don't have anything, But that's what pitchers are acting like. 242 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: You're checking me. I don't have anything. What did you 243 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: have last week? That's what I want to know. And 244 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: for Max Scherzer to be so upset, somebody should have 245 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: asked Max Scherzer, Max, what did you use before this? 246 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: Just so we understand that, take us, take us through 247 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the process. Here you say it's tougher this week. Hey, 248 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I nearly, I nearly threw a fastball and hit one 249 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: of the phillies in the head. Okay, well what did 250 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: you use before this? Where you didn't hit somebody? It's 251 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: and the commissioner can't win in this situation because if 252 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: he lets it slide, then we go, hey, here he 253 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 1: goes again, not going to punish, just like the astros. 254 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: But I don't know, are you really bothered by this 255 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: that the umpires are inspecting pictures and it's during the 256 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: commercial breaks, like it didn't ruin my night where I went, 257 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: oh my god, They're they're investigating Max Scherzer a third time, 258 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: hon were you look at what they're going to Max Schurz? 259 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 1: Why Dan you're so upset? Yes, we need to clean 260 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: up this sport. Yes, I'm manager challenging in bad faith. 261 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 1: That's very subjective by the umpires because they may see 262 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: something and how much do you have to explain to 263 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: the jumps like that, Hey, I really saw him now, 264 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to just mess up his rhythm. I 265 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: saw him touch something or do something behind his ear, 266 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: and I just think it's a very subjective call to 267 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: start objecting. Managers thinks they saw it the guy achieving. 268 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: Thank you, Todd, We'll take a break. He was cooking 269 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 1: the first two hours. You know, times when I look 270 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: at Todd and I don't hear him say anything, I 271 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: just see his mouth moving and then it stops and 272 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: I just say, thank you, Todd. You should aout to 273 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: see the foot bubbles somehow before I say, and You're like, man, no, 274 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: usually I can. I can see the thought bubbles. You 275 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: Still My thought is, don't call on you.

It's 309 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: a tribute to Crosley Field that was the first ballpark 310 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: I went to growing up with the Cincinnati Reds before 311 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: they went to Riverfront Stadium. And then we have a 312 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: T shirt that here's the backstory. Seton had some pizza 313 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: and he ordered a small pizza and then the show's 314 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: over and Todd walks by, and he's got those meaty, 315 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: sweaty hands and he grabs a slice of pizza and 316 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: incently enough, I was looking by, looking to steal someone's lunch. 317 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: That should be prefaced at least that much. It was 318 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: at Seaton's desk. There was no we have a communal area. 319 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: You guys really think I would just touch someone's lunch 320 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 1: and thinking that it's did I was under some other 321 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: impression which was out But I'll let you tell the story. Yeah, 322 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: so it's a small pizza and Fritzie walks by, grabs 323 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: a slice and says that's what I'm talking about. And 324 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 1: then Seton goes go ahead and eat my lunch, he said, 325 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: a little harsher than draft. Well, yeah, he was upset 326 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: because some of the other employees in the thinking maybe 327 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,760 Speaker 1: this isn't the best place for me to look. Did 328 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 1: you do something wrong? Time? I did, But it was 329 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 1: an innocent mistake. It wasn't like, oh but I just 330 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,200 Speaker 1: take a piece of Seaton's lunch. I don't think Seton 331 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: even thought that, hopefully he didn't. I think it was 332 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 1: more probably like a little bit of built up like 333 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: Todd sometimes isn't very aware, and I think that was 334 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: sort of a one too many times where his lack 335 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: of awareness just really rubbed me the wrong way. And yeah, 336 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: it's now, that's okay, Tagger. I hadn't eat my lunch. 337 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: And of course you repaid him. You went out and 338 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 1: got him a pizza, didn't you. Time did not know. 339 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: Of course, I thought we were having some kind of 340 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,239 Speaker 1: pizza part And that was just his portion of what 341 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: he That's what he was talking about. That's what I'm 342 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: talking about. So we have a T shirt that pays 343 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: tribute to Time. Didn't feel really bad about that. It 344 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: was I got no pleasure out of grabbing a piece 345 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: of it. There wasn't that many slices there. That's why 346 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: I thought it was just his portion of what he 347 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 1: took from one of the boxes, from the pizza part. 348 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 1: You know what's called a personal pizza because it's for 349 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: that person. It was a small personal pizza. And probably 350 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: Todd's making it sound like there was five other pizza 351 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: boxes laying there was one, just one. I was under 352 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,880 Speaker 1: there's something. There must be other pizza in the back room. 353 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: Ors up, they get Yes, they just didn't tell me 354 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: there was a pizza part. Hey, I'll take a piece. 355 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: And you felt so bad that you didn't get seat 356 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: in a pizza right, But I didn't put my hands 357 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,200 Speaker 1: all over his pizza. I pulled like one stuff. Maybe 358 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: I was holding with my thumb down about slice next 359 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: to that one, just so I didn't rip up the 360 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: whole pizza. So maybe there was two slices and Bob 361 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: all right, thank you to let me get some phone 362 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: calls in here. I keep saying I'm gonna get phone 363 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: calls in here. I get distracted that Spencer in Iowa, Spence, 364 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: thanks for holding on what is on your mind today? 365 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: What's uh the first time? Long time six, one, two, ten, 366 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: there we go. Well, yeah, I had. I was really 367 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: hyped up a little while ago. Now on the funnel 368 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: hold for a while, but I was kind of bumming 369 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: out about that game last. Are you talking about the 370 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 1: five replays? I mean, I was the game that finished 371 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: after eleven fifteen years I'm around here having the Midwest. 372 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: But they just kind of ruined the flow of the 373 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: game and just took way longer. And it's with every 374 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: other sport do even I mean football, they do everyplay 375 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 1: and now it's you know, so the game down even more. 376 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: But I just, yeah, just way too many replays. I 377 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: felt like, I mean, well, I mean, if it's if 378 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: you don't like it, I guess turn it off. But 379 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: it took thirty three minutes of real time to play 380 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: ninety seconds of basketball. I mean it's interminable amount of 381 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: time here, and it's just it breaks up the flow, 382 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: that's all. Like, I don't care how long a game goes. 383 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: If it's interesting, then you'll watch. I just don't like 384 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: when it's broken up. I went to the Michigan Ohio 385 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: state game a couple of years ago in Columbus and 386 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: Ohio State just scored again, and and and I'm watching 387 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: the game in the stadium, but the commercial breaks take 388 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 1: forever because when you're watching at home, you can go 389 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 1: do something. When you're there in the stands, it's like 390 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: and they have a like a the commercial clock over here, 391 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: and you go, oh my god, we've got five minutes 392 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: before they come back. And it took forever, Whereas when 393 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 1: you watch at home, at least you can flip around, 394 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: do something else, go get a beer. I mean, you 395 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 1: can do that at a game, but it just it 396 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: took away the flow of the game. Yeah, Paul, you know, 397 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: I don't think the NFL suffers from this problem. They 398 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: keep the game moving. They've shortened the playclock. They halftime 399 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: I think is twelve minutes. In the NFL. You can't 400 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: even go out, like get a sandwich, right they but 401 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: college football is way longer. The NFL doesn't really suffer 402 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: this dragging along problem. Jesse and Los Angeles, Hey, Jess, 403 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: sorry to keep you holding. Welcome back to the program. Hey, DP, 404 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: no problem. Hey, I was calling to let you guys 405 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: know yesterday's show was incredible. Those three guests were so 406 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: good And and Rex and Jimmy are always some of 407 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: the best guests you guys have. They are, Yeah, thank you, 408 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: that was great. I'm calling about picture checks and college athletics. 409 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: And with baseball first, as you said, it's just like 410 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: the TSA and if you've ever been in the regular 411 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: security line and some guys getting fired up when the 412 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: brother keeps going off and they keep taking like a 413 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 1: watch or a belt or like a bottle water out 414 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: of his bag, and he's just blowing a gasket. That's 415 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: hilarious and I'm all for it. But with college athletics, 416 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm with Billis as he said yesterday. If anyone thinks 417 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 1: he's gonna be like recruiting violations because certain states having 418 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: this right first, there's no way this is like, this 419 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: is a competition. So if I'm a highly recruited athlete, 420 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 1: I'm choosing between a school in California and Texas, and 421 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 1: they're looking for money or or benefits. Boosters are filthy 422 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: rich and if their athlete over their proxy says hey, 423 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 1: I can make this much here legally, or do you 424 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: want me bad enough, here's what it's going to cost you. 425 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: These programs are just going to find more creative ways 426 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: to create the level of playing field. And that leads 427 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: me to my question for you, what's the most egregious 428 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 1: violation you have seen in your time? Like the Lester 429 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: Hay Stickham version of recruiting violations? Thank you, jess oh Ay. 430 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: It wasn't Stickham legal when Lester. Yeah, so, I don't 431 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: know if that's the best analogy. Yeah, yeah, he he 432 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: just slather it on. They made it legal eventually. Yeah. 433 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: I mean what happened at SMU Eric Dickerson, the tired 434 00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: football program, and they were blatant. They it wasn't like 435 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: they were hiding it, so that would be up there. Yeah, Paul, 436 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 1: if you watch that SMU football documentary, they were giving 437 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: cash to players and they were mailing it to them 438 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: in envelopes that had the SMU Athletic Department on the 439 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: return address. They weren't even trying to be secretive. He'd 440 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 1: be like to a player and they sent it to 441 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,720 Speaker 1: his apartment or his house and they had the return 442 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,880 Speaker 1: address on the thing of money or the checks. Well, 443 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 1: go back to the story that I broke earlier this 444 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: year about Tennessee football with recruits and they were putting 445 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: money in McDonald's bags, like I mean, eventually those things 446 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: are going to get out. And I remember back in 447 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 1: college people talked about Kentucky players when I was at 448 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: school at Eastern Kentucky, that they would get one hundred 449 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: dollars and shakes. All right, so some booster shook your 450 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,479 Speaker 1: hand and it's Kevin Greevy. All right, there's no paper 451 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: trail there. You know, there were always stories that came out. 452 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: I remember playing against somebody and he went to a 453 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 1: major university and came back with that two seater Mercedes, 454 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: like H four fifty what is that s sel or 455 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: something like that sl and he came back with that 456 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: and we were like, whoa, did you see what he's driving? 457 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 1: And he just he just smiled. He didn't say how 458 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: he got it, but he got it. Let's see a 459 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: couple more phone calls here. Uh, let's see Brian in Florida. 460 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: Hey Brian, what's on your mind today? Hey? You were 461 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: asking earlier like why now about the pitching? Well, I 462 00:25:55,640 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 1: can point to the exact moment April twenty six, the 463 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: Cardinals are playing the White Sucks. Giovanni Diegos came in 464 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: for some reason. Joe West went and checked his hat, 465 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: and then I thought it was weird because you never 466 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,919 Speaker 1: see that. But also it's really weird because Mike Schilt 467 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: last year, in the previous year, every single day after 468 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: he played the game, he would talk to Tony the RUSSA, 469 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: So don't don't do all right? Well, thank you, Bryan. 470 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: This has been going on, and the reason why it's 471 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: not it wasn't a problem before is because this manager 472 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: knew that that manager was doing it, and then that 473 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: manager knew that that manager was doing it. Managers changing teams, 474 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: players changing teams. You know, you start to hear, hey, 475 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: somebody's doing this, somebody's This has been going on for 476 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: a long long time. I mean, just imagine if Mike 477 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: fires doesn't rat out the Astros, this might still be 478 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: going on. And it's not just the Astros. There are 479 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 1: other teams. They'll probably be a story that comes out 480 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: years from now about another team in this era. But 481 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: the Astros were really good at it at the time. 482 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 1: But you're looking for a competitive edge. What is legal, 483 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 1: what is not? What's pushing the envelope? But baseball you know, hey, steroids. 484 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: When it first came out, they didn't really punish you. 485 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: Second of all, we were told it was only five 486 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: percent of the players using steroids, remember that, and we 487 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: realized that it was probably ninety five percent who were 488 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: and the five percent who were trying to get it. 489 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 1: And this really doesn't come to it. Ahead if Bonds, 490 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 1: McGuire and Sosa weren't too good, if Lance Armstrong wasn't 491 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,120 Speaker 1: too good, like you win seven times, an American winning, 492 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,200 Speaker 1: you know the Tour de France and the French love 493 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: their cycling. And how he's cheating. We didn't want him 494 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: to be guilty. Bonds and McGuire, or at least McGuire 495 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: and Sosa, you didn't want them to be guilty. Remember 496 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 1: they were the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year on 497 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: the cover together, great moments hugging each other. You know, 498 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,679 Speaker 1: Bonds not easy to like, but easy to admire, you 499 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: know his abilities, but he got too good. If he doesn't. 500 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: If Barry Bonds hits fifty three instead of seventy three 501 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: home runs, nobody's gonna go he's really cheating. Now. You 502 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 1: might look at him physically and go, man, he's it 503 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: looks bloated, which he was. But you might say, man, 504 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: he's kind of letting himself go. But he's still dangerous 505 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: out there. You know. Roger Clemens had a you know, 506 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: resuscitation to his career. I mean the Red Sox gave 507 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 1: up on him. He went to Toronto. He didn't find 508 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: the fountain of youth. They've found the fountain of steroids. 509 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's what happened. If he wasn't you get 510 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: too good? It's like cosmetic surgery. How much are you getting? 511 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: Are you gonna get that enhanced? Why don't you do 512 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: it quietly? A little bit more and a little less there. 513 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 1: It's like when you die your hair, how about some 514 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 1: salt and pepper there, not just pepper. Guilty is charged? 515 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: Yes it was. And then all of a sudden, you go, 516 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: oh my god, what was I thinking? Yes, you used 517 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: to always say something like you're the last one to 518 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 1: know or something. Yeah, the person who dies their hair 519 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: is always the last one to know. That. Everybody knows 520 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: you're dying your hair. They're like, I'm looking good. I'm 521 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: looking good man, I'm killing it. I'm twenty years younger. 522 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: And then he realized, God, did I look horrible. It's 523 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: just these guys, these cheaters were too good at cheating. Yeah. 524 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: Paully Barry bonds after the age of thirty four, won 525 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: four consecutive MVPs and it wasn't close to voting in 526 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: any year. He also had seasons where he was walked 527 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty two times in a season. He 528 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: still was able to hit forty five home runs. They 529 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: took the bat out of his hands two hundred thirty 530 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: two at times. That's like forty percent of his at 531 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: bats or a walk. He would have hit one hundred 532 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: home runs. If you look at his home run ratio, Yeah, 533 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: it's by far the greatest in MLB history, the second place. Really, 534 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 1: you know Sosa was there, but it doesn't compare to 535 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: like Mickey Mantel. Those guys, they didn't walk them two 536 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,719 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty times. What helps Sosa a little bit 537 00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: was because McGuire took the spotlight. So Sammy was hitting 538 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: sixty six home runs in a season. I mean he 539 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 1: had a four year run where he hit over sixty 540 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: home runs. Yeah, pull Yeah, Sosa had a four year 541 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: run where it was sixty six homers, sixty three homers, 542 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 1: fifty homers, and sixty four homers. And I always bring 543 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: this up, my favorite stet and none of those seasons 544 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: did he lead the baseball at home runs, he finished 545 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: second to McGuire or Bonds. Yeah, sixty's he beat Roger 546 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: Marris three different times. That's better. He's actually more impressive 547 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: than Bonds. Bonds hit over fifty once in his career. 548 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 1: Sosa hit over sixty three times. Yeah, yes, times. So 549 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: he'd come running out with the American flag and doing 550 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 1: that kiss thing, Sosa, and you just look back and yeah, yeah. 551 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: You know, he had the fungo bat that he only 552 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,920 Speaker 1: used in batting practice that he wanted to put on 553 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: a home run display. So the guy who hits sixty 554 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 1: home runs needs a fungo bat that's got Super Bowls 555 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: in it to hit home runs in batting Prabout the fans, Dan, Yes, 556 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,680 Speaker 1: he loved the fan Thank you, Sammy, thank you so much. 557 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: Christian and Maine joining us. Hey Christian, good morning, Dan, 558 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 1: Good morning, Christian, good morning. How are you doing great? 559 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: All right?

Okay. 561 00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: There once was a fellow from Maine who was a 562 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: big fan of the great Harry Kane. He called up 563 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: the show to say, suck it back, row and challenge 564 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: Fritzie to a shower of shame. Oh okay, all right, 565 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: I'd like a limerick off, a limerick off where the 566 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 1: Danets can choose the topic and we can let the 567 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: listeners judge whose limericks are better. And I'm willing to 568 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: do a shower of shame. How about Friday at this 569 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: time eleven forty five?

Christian sounded like a broadcaster there a 576 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: little bit. Thought he was bringing a little too much 577 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: voice there, but that's okay. I had a little cocky 578 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: but that's besides the point. Are you nervous? I'm really not. 579 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure, aren't no judging your limerick. I don't want 580 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 1: to be involved in this because then you're gonna be like, wait, 581 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 1: yours just don't like me?

Now it wasn't 609 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: a high speed chase. It's a bunch of cows. Forty 610 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:02,399 Speaker 1: cowls escape from a slaughterhouse and the police then were 611 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: in hot pursuit of these cows. I think if you 612 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: escape a slaughterhouse, then you should be free. I think 613 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: if you figured out how to get out of a slaughterhouse, 614 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: then these cows should be free. But the police were 615 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: trying to corral the cows. Here. What else did you 616 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 1: guys have? What were your puns with this ton? Anything 617 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 1: else that they were milking it to be on the news? 618 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 1: The cow okay, okay, better steer clear of the area, okay, 619 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 1: anything else? Time? How dairy? They go? Oh no, no, no, 620 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,759 Speaker 1: I told you don't use how day There was something 621 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: about they got to move out of the move out 622 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 1: of the way. They got to get run over by 623 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,720 Speaker 1: the car. All right, So you didn't like how dairy 624 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,640 Speaker 1: they no, no, no, no go on. I did not, 625 00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: and I told you did like you always go one 626 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: too many. I did it with the mock out lines. 627 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: I said if the limerick was good, and the mock 628 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 1: out lines were the zif yeah shower shame coming up 629 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: Friday at this time for Fritzie and Christian in Maine. 630 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:03,760 Speaker 1: Top yeah, plan accordingly, folks. Let me see Patton Florida. Patton, 631 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,399 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? And second time calling and 632 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: love your show? Thank you. Then what's happened to the 633 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: point guard position? And you mentioned something yesterday about Ben Simmons. 634 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: Would we have the would we rail on him if 635 00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 1: he was a six foot one point guard? Or we do? 636 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,759 Speaker 1: Do we just look at him as he's six ten. 637 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: He's the point guard and he ought to be able 638 00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,719 Speaker 1: to score. Now, I think about when James Harden went 639 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: to the nets and Kyrie Irving said, okay, you're the 640 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: point guard. He I know he was already good at assists, 641 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 1: but he became great with assists. And I'm a Laker 642 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: fan and after each game I would look at the 643 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,640 Speaker 1: assist stat line and Shrewder would have three or four 644 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: assists every game, and talent Horton Tucker who had like 645 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: twelve minutes would have nine assists or whatever. So can 646 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: you can you build? Can you make a point guard? 647 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,400 Speaker 1: When you do you draft someone or when you have 648 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:06,200 Speaker 1: a player you need a floor? In general? Well, and 649 00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 1: thank you. Pat Lebron is a point guard, he'd not 650 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: built like a point guard. And plus, if I don't 651 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 1: care how tall Ben Simmons is, I just care the 652 00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,760 Speaker 1: style of his play. When you don't want to shoot. 653 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,960 Speaker 1: In four of the seven games, he didn't attempt a 654 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: field goal in the fourth quarter against the Hawks. Rajon 655 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: Rondo couldn't shoot. Not a very good shooter now, but 656 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: he's not afraid to shoot. If Ben Simmons is six 657 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: one or he's seven one, you can't be afraid to 658 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:40,719 Speaker 1: shoot now. In a previous generation, could you be a 659 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 1: point guard who couldn't shoot? Well, I guess, but I'm 660 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: trying to think. Jason Kidd became a better shooter, Magic 661 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:53,240 Speaker 1: became a better shooter. Steve Nash was a great shooter. 662 00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: Stockton was a very good shooter. You know, Bob Kuzy 663 00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 1: that was a different era. He probably shot low forties 664 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: from the floor. But now one days like Steph Curry, 665 00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: is he a point guard? I call him a points guards. 666 00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: Draymond Green's their their point guard. He's the one who 667 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 1: has the most Is the guy who has the most assist? 668 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: Is that your point guard? Like the Joker? To me, 669 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 1: feels like the point center. He runs the offense. It's 670 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,280 Speaker 1: like Bill Walton used to do that with the Portland 671 00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:30,040 Speaker 1: Trailblazers or Vitas Sabonis did that. Like you just funnel 672 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: everything through your big man and you have a great 673 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 1: passing big man. Yeah, Paul, if you go back to 674 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 1: a guy like Isaiah Thomas, he led a league and 675 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: assist a couple of times, but he felt like a 676 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: guy who could score twenty five points a night, but 677 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: chose not to based off his role because he had 678 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: games where points yes, But his best season I think 679 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 1: he averaged twenty three points per game. He was usually 680 00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,040 Speaker 1: around eighteen nineteen. Uh John and Atlanta, Hi John, what's 681 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:57,280 Speaker 1: on your mind today? Heavy Wednesday? D We got five 682 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,880 Speaker 1: seats left on the Lanta Hawk bandwagon for you, the Danette. 683 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: If you'd like to join us down here, that'd be lovely. 684 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 1: Have a question for you when you were at Sports 685 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: Center and even now and going back to your conversation 686 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 1: about steroid, Yeah, when you suspected a player to be 687 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: on it? Sorry my two year old in the background. Sorry, 688 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,279 Speaker 1: when you suspected a player to be on it when 689 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,240 Speaker 1: you were covering a story, How did you refrain from 690 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,400 Speaker 1: calling a spade a spade? How did you refrain from 691 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 1: calling him out? Was it or did you want to 692 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 1: you just suspected and just let it go? Or well 693 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:35,799 Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't a reporter, John, I mean I 694 00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 1: was the guy who's doing the highlights, and thanks for 695 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: the phone call, but my job was to present highlights. 696 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,200 Speaker 1: If I was covering the sport of baseball, it gets 697 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:49,600 Speaker 1: trickier because what is your evidence? And and do you 698 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,440 Speaker 1: have a second sort If you're going to accuse somebody, 699 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 1: I can look at Brady Anderson and go hit fifty 700 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: or Luis Gonzalez who fifty five, and you just go, man, 701 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't know, but that's not enough. I remember people 702 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 1: accused Todd Helton, so you just had to be careful 703 00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:18,879 Speaker 1: with that. I remember Jason Jombie was joking one time 704 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: we were going to have him on. He was with 705 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,919 Speaker 1: the Oakland A's and he said something about cycling on 706 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: or cycling off, and I didn't really take note of it, 707 00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: but he was talking about steroids. And then when I 708 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:40,359 Speaker 1: realized that Jason Johnby was using steroids and he had 709 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:44,960 Speaker 1: been a friend, I really liked Jason Johnby. I mean, 710 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: that was tough. But I didn't have the evidence that 711 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: I could have come forward and said, hey, you know 712 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:55,720 Speaker 1: what I'm hearing, because even though you looked, we wanted 713 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: to believe that McGuire and so Suit were real. We did. 714 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,919 Speaker 1: We wanted to believe that Lance Armstrong was real, right, 715 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: like we want to believe what we're seeing is real 716 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,399 Speaker 1: in sports. And I was I've you know, felt prey 717 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,319 Speaker 1: to that guilty is charge. And then I vowed after 718 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:17,960 Speaker 1: that that I would not go in blindly and go 719 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: just take it for you know, surface value here, like, 720 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 1: don't be afraid to question. Now, it's difficult sometimes because 721 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,759 Speaker 1: you don't want to be negative, you don't want to 722 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,359 Speaker 1: go yeah. But but in the back of my mind 723 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: I always remember Lance and McGuire and Sosa and just say, 724 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong with at least raising a question or 725 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:45,439 Speaker 1: being inquisitive about it. And I don't like finding these 726 00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: things out, but there's part of this is my job, 727 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,560 Speaker 1: whether I like it or not, or it's somebody I 728 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 1: like and they're doing something. You know, I don't take 729 00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 1: any great pleasure in Alex roder Riga's testing positive. I 730 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,080 Speaker 1: don't like him, he didn't like me. But you know, 731 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,719 Speaker 1: if he's if he's clean and he's doing all these 732 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,880 Speaker 1: great things, great, Rafael Paul merrill I like Raffi, but 733 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 1: if you're cheating, all right, and you got to face 734 00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: the music. Andy Pettit, Andy Pettit's a nice man, but 735 00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,279 Speaker 1: there's nothing personal about this where I don't go, man, 736 00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get out and sabotage that guy. Yeah, 737 00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: if you get too cynical, then you destroys your joy 738 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: of sports because then you're you're thinking everyone's cheating or 739 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 1: there's there's nothing legitimate about what you're watching, So you 740 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: got to I don't know where the fine line is 741 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 1: between the two, but you still I don't want to 742 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: get too negative where you think everything you see is 743 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 1: just can't be well. I don't want to be like 744 00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: the football fan who thinks every game is fixed. Like 745 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to get there. We can have questions 746 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: about it, but not everything's a conspiracy there just not 747 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: or is it?
