Speaker 2: officials and what they did at the end of last

6

14
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: here in Phoenix getting ready to cover the final four

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 2: for Yahoo, and I'm watching the end of last night's

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: game like everybody else was. And then all of a

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 2: sudden controversy because of an offensive foul call on what

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: looked like to some could have been a question was

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: it a moving screen? Was it not a moving screen.

20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: That's a debate for another moment. The debate right now

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: is every single person that took that moment to post

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: as everybody always wants to about how it's absolutely impossible

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: to make that call in that moment. Why think about

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 2: what we do now. We're harder on refs calling an

25
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: actual foul than we are on kickers missing a game

26
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 2: winning kick. You can miss a game winning kick and

27
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: you're a bum for a minute, but they'll go on.

28
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: They'll move on and say, well, we should have made display,

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 2: we should have made that play, we should have done this,

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: we should have done that. We don't do that with officiating. No, So,

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: first and foremost, we demand that every official be perfect

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 2: in every situation. God forbid a ref miss a call.

33
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: If a ref misses one call in a game, all

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: of a sudden, oh well, it's got to be fixed.

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: College basketball has got to be on the take. Everybody's

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: trying to create the outcome that they want for the ratings,

37
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: all of these conspiracy theories. I'll tell you, as somebody

38
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: that no longer works for ESPN, it would be in

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: great benefit to my popularity across the world of clicks

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: if I could come out here and tell you, oh, yeah,

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: the outcomes are fixed. They're not. I know you don't

42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: want to believe that. But they're not. But that's what

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: we think the minute that there's a call that's questionable. Now,

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 2: God forbid an official have a full bad game. We

45
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: see quarterbacks, great quarterbacks have terrible games. We see tremendous

46
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: players in the NBA and college basketball have terrible games.

47
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 2: And then what do we say, Well, we'll get them

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: next time. Now, they don't do that with officials. Official

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: has a bad call, they're on the take. Official has

50
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: a bad game, they're a bum, They get death threats

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: on social media, and they don't even deserve to have

52
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: the opportunity to do what they do, and they're on

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: the take. So already we're demanding perfection and now and now,

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: even if you get the call right, well it wasn't

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 2: the right time to make that call, you can't. You

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,679
Speaker 2: can't make the call, then that's impossible. Now, this is

57
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: where so many people on social media have already clapped

58
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: back to me because I said last night a foul.

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: You want a debate whether or not that was a foul.

60
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: Let's debate whether or not it was a moving screen, right,

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: that's fine. But if you believe it was a foul,

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: and your answer is you can't call it right now,

63
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: that's just stupid. Everybody comes in and says, well, you

64
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: obviously didn't play the game. Okay, you're right. I just

65
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 2: this is breaking news. I did not play a high

66
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: level college basketball. All right, I'm five to nine. I

67
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: did not play a high level college basketball. We all

68
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: know that. I'm not going to deny that. Let me

69
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: ask you something. Have you ever talked to high level officials?

70
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: Have you ever talked to high level refs? Because I

71
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: have in every sport. I've talked to NBA refs, former

72
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: NBA refs, I've talked to NHL refs, talked to football

73
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: referees all over the place at the NFL and college level,

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 2: and I've asked them about this very situation, the slippery

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: slope of when you were supposed to make a call.

76
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: I get the same answer all the time. The one

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: thing you can't do as a ref is start to

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: suddenly think before you make the call. You just got

79
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: to trust your gut and your training. But no, we

80
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: don't let them do that. No, this was the end

81
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: of classic game. The refs can't decide a game. What

82
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: a stupid narrative? Do you think there's a single official

83
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: in the world that sits there and says, you know what,

84
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I've trained my whole life. I've worked my ass off

85
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 2: my entire life to get right here in this moment.

86
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: I have worked forever to get to this final four

87
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: where I can shine because I'm great at what I do.

88
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 2: And what I really want to do is I want

89
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 2: to ruin all of that by making a call that

90
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: the world hates. You think that's how refs feel. I

91
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: think that's what a REF wants. You think a REF

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: wants to be a superstar out of all this. You

93
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: think they want the hate that comes on social media

94
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: to them and their families. You think they want any

95
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: of that. The answer is no, they don't want to

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: be the center of attention. They just got to do

97
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: their jobs. And this is why it drives me crazy,

98
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: because through it all, a foul in the first minutes,

99
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: a foul in the first half, is a foul at

100
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: the beginning of the second half, is a foul in

101
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 2: the last minute. Where's the slippery slope end? If all

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you want rest to decide in the

103
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: moment what they should and shouldn't call, So you want

104
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: them to hesitate. That makes no sense. I'm not a

105
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: ref apologist. Let me be clear. I think there are

106
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: good refs that have bad days. I think there are

107
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: rests that have bad moments. I think all of this

108
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: can be true. But as I continually say on this

109
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 2: show and said their football season, and I'll say right now,

110
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 2: ref's work their entire life to get where they are.

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: And to think that we want a ref at the

112
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: end of the game to swallow their whistle because it

113
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: doesn't give us the end we want is selfish. It's uninformed,

114
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: and it's unrealistic. We have set a standard that cannot

115
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: be met. I hear cousins with us Anthony Anthony Gargano.

116
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta tell you that's well said. Thank you,

117
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: I mean, eloquent, well said spot On. I mean everything

118
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 3: you say is I completely agree.

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: With shoe Buddy mister too. Bud oh Man.

120
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 3: Yesterday we had a last week, we had a a big.

121
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: Tournament, the whole thing going on. How is it down there?

122
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: Man? Just my first final four?

123
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 3: I know it is.

124
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 4: I was thinking about you.

125
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: You know, it's like this one's kind of exciting. Like

126
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: I'll be honest, because you know I've covered I'm very

127
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: lucky to say, I've covered you know, the CFP and

128
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and things like that, but I've never

129
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: been to a Final Four. And I walked in yesterday.

130
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 2: I got all the fields, the goosebumps, the way they

131
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: actually they managed to get the court built up into

132
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 2: the middle of the football field and full court access.

133
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: So I was recording a bunch of hits while I

134
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: was standing there and Zachi ed he was dunking right

135
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: behind me. I was like, this is the coolest thing ever.

136
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: I got a about that.

137
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: They do a good job here making this like I

138
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: feel like it's the middle of something special. It's something

139
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: special going.

140
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 3: On here here.

141
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 4: It is something special.

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: Man.

143
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: I love the Final Four.

144
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: I just think there's there is something special about it,

145
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: the whole thing, and I'm glad you get to experience

146
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: it because you know, and this is I tell you,

147
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: I'm excited for you too, because this Yukon team, you're

148
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: seeing something just so special about it. I mean that

149
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: thirty and nothing run that we saw last week was

150
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: something ridiculous.

151
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: I mean, just something I love about you. I've never

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: seen that before.

153
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 5: No.

154
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 2: I actually asked Danny Green right afterwards, because we're doing

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: all sorts of coverage together for Yahoo. I asked Danny,

156
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 2: I said, have you ever been apart at any level

157
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: of a thirty nothing run? And he laughed and he said,

158
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: I think maybe in elementary school, but I don't know.

159
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: Like and to your point, they yukon being they went

160
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: on one of the most dominant runs we've ever seen

161
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: last year, right and now this year. Their average margin

162
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 2: of victory is about twenty six points and in the

163
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: last two games, in the last two games, in the

164
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: final two minutes of the first half of each of

165
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: those games, it was tied. So think about that, like

166
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: that just shows you how explosive they are for a

167
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: team that was, by the way, in the preseason, what

168
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: a projected four in the Big East, Like nobody even

169
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: thought that they were supposed to have a little mini

170
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: rebuild this year. This is utter dominance. Like I don't

171
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: think you guys gotten the flowers the way they should.

172
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 3: No, they shouldn't. I mean they should and they haven't.

173
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: And one of the things that when you see it,

174
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: like they could play any style. That's what's scary about it,

175
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: is like you could think they'll slow you down and

176
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: they'll wear your defense of like you know, if you

177
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 3: got Eaty like it'll be interesting because I think you know,

178
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 3: no eat He's never seen anything like this. So you're

179
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 3: the one team that can be you know, pretty scary,

180
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: you know for the up Purdue. But they can speed

181
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: you up, they could slow you down. They could play

182
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: a grinded out game. They can you know, or like

183
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 3: you saw, I mean's four point game at half and

184
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: in the in the blink of an eye, you know,

185
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: it's a blowout.

186
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 2: And that a game too, Like they didn't shoot that

187
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: well from three either in that game three seventeen or

188
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: something like that. I mean, they weren't shooting from the

189
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 2: outside that well and they still did that in the

190
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: second half.

191
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: It's pretty wild.

192
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: And you're right, like they haven't gotten Like for a

193
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 3: team that lou that lost what they lost off the

194
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 3: championship team come back and to just not even be tested,

195
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: like to not even be you know, not even sweat,

196
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: I mean, we should be lost.

197
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: This team as one of the all timers.

198
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 3: People go, oh they they It reminds me of Florida

199
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: when Florida went back to back and yes and now

200
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 3: when I go, okay, like I get it, Florida lost

201
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: a couple of guys off that team and same thing,

202
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: but this team is better than that team.

203
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: It reminds me of when I was a little kid.

204
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: And you know, I always talk as I sit here

205
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: in my UNLV hoodie that UNLV back to back where

206
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: they lost in the final four to Duke. That the

207
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: dominance at the ease with which they seem to win

208
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: every game, That's what it feels like. That it feels

209
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: like they are so much better than everybody in their way.

210
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: And I do agree with you. I think, you know,

211
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: even if it was just Florida, that'd be the first

212
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: time we'd seen it in what sixteen years. I think

213
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: it's bigger than that. This is the most dominant team

214
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: in a generation. And to do that in Connecticut, where

215
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: you know, let's be real, I think the resources in Connecticut,

216
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 2: the nil sales job, it's all a little bit different, right,

217
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: Like they have some nice new facilities and Hurley's done

218
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 2: a great job. But like, let's not get it twisted.

219
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,559
Speaker 2: If Alabama really wanted to outspend on any player, I

220
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: think they could, right. So, the fact that Yukon has

221
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: been able to build this sort of juggernaut and Hurley

222
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: was really clear yesterday when he said that because of Nil,

223
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 2: he coaches kids harder than ever because now they get

224
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: paid at some level, They're getting some benefit. They're not

225
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: just there to go.

226
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 3: To class earn it.

227
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: Now, I think he's got a real understanding of the

228
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 2: pulse of the program in a way that man, you

229
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 2: just got to feel like they're stacked. His coaching is

230
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: a big part of it. The plays they run are

231
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 2: just better than everybody else. So I think it's pretty

232
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: stunning to see how dominant they are, especially given where

233
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: they came from.

234
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 3: Well, you're right, and you know, like I look at

235
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 3: that at that team, and they are so well coached,

236
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: like they're like even like during that run, like if

237
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 3: you could play all those styles and if you could

238
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: be that explosive, and if you're doing it with a

239
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 3: team that's that's different. Well, I mean that that speaks volumes.

240
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: I mean that that that's totally all about coaching.

241
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: Well, and now they're going to get into what I think,

242
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 2: over the course of tonight is going to be a

243
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: video game game. Right, Like Alabama can run with anybody,

244
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: but so can Yukon, and Yukon can beat you inside out, right,

245
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 2: So that's where Donovan Klingon is just such a secret

246
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 2: weapon and all of this, you know, like just his

247
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: ability to dominate in the middle. If anybody can even

248
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 2: shoot around him, it's man, I think it's really interesting

249
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: that Yukon can beat you so many different ways because

250
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 2: I think every other team in this final four they

251
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: have a path and man, they're really good at this

252
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: this this thing, right, But man, Connecticut's good at all

253
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 2: of the things, every one of the things.

254
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 3: So what's the pulse down there? Like, I mean, are

255
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 3: they getting Alabama any chance? I mean, what's the vibe.

256
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: I was sitting there. So this is a very true story.

257
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: I did a little piece yesterday for Yahoo about how

258
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: I think every single team in this tournament right now,

259
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: left in the final four has a sense of disrespect

260
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: around him. When you talk to the guys and the team,

261
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: everybody feels like there's a little sense of disrespect. And

262
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: I was telling a noted you know, professional sports reporter

263
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 2: this angle and he's like, I really like that. And

264
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: he's like, he asked me my Connecticut angle, and I

265
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: told what I said to you. I think for where

266
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: they are, they're not getting the pub So we went

267
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: through Connecticut, We went through Purdue. We went through n

268
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 2: C State and he looked at me and said, who's

269
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: the other team? Who are you missing? I was like,

270
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 2: there's your disrespect angled.

271
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: A wow, that's great.

272
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: Who's who's the other team? Like it feels like they're

273
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 2: forgotten right now in the media process. The ease to

274
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: walk into the breakouts in the media session, you could

275
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: walk into any of the Bama players and just talk

276
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: to them like everybody was available. Like it feels like

277
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 2: Alabama's forgotten.

278
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 4: You get you give them? Do you give them any chance?

279
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 5: Like?

280
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: Can you give them? You know we talked about we're

281
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: just sitting there gushing over U Kon and what they

282
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: can do. But do you give Alabama like any chance?

283
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: And you're sizing this up because the shame is I

284
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 3: don't like you know that. Uh. They they they're prolific

285
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 3: and they can they can hit their threes and if

286
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: they're on, and they can go up and down the

287
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 3: floor and and they're banging threes and you know they're dangerous.

288
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: The only problem is they just played no defense.

289
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's Alabama. I don't give them a chance.

290
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: Because Connecticut is so good and because even NATO's is

291
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 2: stressed the only way they win this game is if

292
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: they're at their best offensively while also being at their

293
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 2: best defensively. I don't know that they've been asked to

294
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 2: do that all year, right so Connecticut has, and they do.

295
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: They do that repeatedly. This just feels like if you

296
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: were telling me that it was NC State versus Bama,

297
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have a problem with that. Even Purdue versus Bama,

298
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: I think they'd have a chance. But right now they

299
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 2: might be playing the second best basketball other than Zachi

300
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: Edie in this tournament. But they're taking on Yukon, So no,

301
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: I don't give him a chance right now.

302
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 3: I feel the same way. Let's talk about the other game,

303
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: because the other game is so I think, so fascinating,

304
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 3: just because NC State we talk about that run, and

305
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: you know, not how much has been nineteen eighty three

306
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: been brought up and Valvado and Wittenberg, low cojonh McQueen, Lorenzo,

307
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: Charles tyry Gannon. I remember being a little boy, Fitzie.

308
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 3: I loved that team absolutely, that.

309
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 2: Team well, and that that team and that era defined

310
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: the concept of college basketball and March madness joy for

311
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: a generation. Right like I mean just the Valvano image

312
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: still is sort of seared in everybody's mind, like it

313
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 2: feels like it has to get worked into every year

314
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: because of it, Like that's how special that team was.

315
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: And and this team from NC State has a real

316
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: chip on their shoulder but also has an understanding of

317
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: the history that they are capable of representing it. It's

318
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: a really interesting The vibe around this team is very interesting.

319
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: They have an edge to them for sure.

320
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,200
Speaker 3: When you look at the only thing is like the

321
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: match up, the matchup of the Biggs, is the matchup

322
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: of the tournament.

323
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: Is the matchup of the whole Saturday? O? God, yeah,

324
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: what are they talking about?

325
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: Well, And the funny thing is we asked every single

326
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Purdue kid, how do you ever stop Zach Eatie? You

327
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 2: see him every day? How would you stop him? We

328
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: asked every player and we got laughed at. We're like,

329
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 2: we don't And we were told that in practice, the

330
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: only time that they can really stop Eatie is if

331
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: he's told to stop shooting. That's like that's a practice

332
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: sing well to just say hey, no, Zach on these runs,

333
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 2: He's just a conduit basically, Like that's the only way

334
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: they can shut him down in practice. I think, you know,

335
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: DJ Burns has been a great story and you know,

336
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: certainly they're going to be and how the two big

337
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 2: guys fair against each other's going to be huge. But

338
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 2: I also think, man, how this game is officiated's going

339
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: to be huge. Like what kind of foul trouble is

340
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: it going to create for everybody? If the refs are

341
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 2: tight in this game, boy, I think it could create

342
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: depth issues all over the place.

343
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, big in a big way.

344
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: Hey, I gotta tell you because I was in this,

345
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: I must be still shook up from this earthquake.

346
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 4: You know you heard about the earthquake we had yesterday.

347
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, well it's like a four point eight

348
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: in Manhattan.

349
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah it was not, dude, it was. It was insane.

350
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 3: I was. I was on the air doing the show,

351
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 3: and I'm like, and I'm in the middle of talking

352
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: to Brad.

353
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 6: I can see it in your face.

354
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 4: All right, Mark's gay.

355
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 3: Mark, Come on yere, like, you gotta tell everybody it's

356
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: I'm in the I'm at the top floor of an

357
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 3: old building in Philadelphia, right in center City, Philadelphia, and

358
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: I think the thing's gonna crumble down, like I literally,

359
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: like just that week the elevator was out, and so

360
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 3: I and I'm fit sitting here.

361
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 4: I'm going, wait, this is not just a plane.

362
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: This is not I can see it in your face.

363
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 7: Why is why are the things moving?

364
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 2: Why is it?

365
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 8: Why is the building moving?

366
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 7: And because people are talking and you're on camera but

367
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 7: you can't talk because they're talking and you I can

368
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 7: just see it in your eyes, like, what's going on?

369
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 2: Why is it moving? What is this? What is this?

370
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: I think that's an earthquake. I'm looking at the build

371
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 3: this the bricks start to shake. So I tell you

372
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 3: the story because I think I'm a little shook up.

373
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: I didn't know. I didn't know he was with us Fig.

374
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 8: Four point eight. Oh, come on, that's nothing, right.

375
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 2: You California people always do that, like like you've ever

376
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 2: Most of us have never lived through an earthquake, so

377
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 2: you know, it's like, sure, if you've done the hibbity

378
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: dibbity a lot of times, it's not a big deal.

379
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: But the first time, it's a pretty big deal, it's

380
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 2: gonna be a big deal.

381
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 8: Look, I get it.

382
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 2: You know.

383
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 9: There's a point last year where all the news reports

384
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 9: were there's a hurricane coming through southern California and people

385
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 9: are buying backup generators and doing all this stuff. A

386
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 9: little bit of heavy rain. For you guys, it's just

387
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 9: a regular Tuesday in the fall. For us, it was

388
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 9: cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria.

389
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 8: So it comes from both sides. Trust me, I get it.

390
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 9: I understand how it could be jarring if it's not

391
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 9: an everyday occurrence. But at four point eight you're kind

392
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 9: of like, uh, somebody knock on the door. All right now,

393
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 9: it's never mind, it was nothing. I'm glad everybody and

394
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 9: everything is okay.

395
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 7: You could see the terror ed Anthony's facers, like what

396
00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 7: is this?

397
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 8: He just pause because if someone.

398
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 7: Didn't make it up, making a comment, making a point

399
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 7: and the conversation, and his eyes are like.

400
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 8: Look at this way, and look at that way, look

401
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 8: at this way. I'm looking at that way. It's like

402
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 8: he said, Ghostbusters, what's going on?

403
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 3: Dog?

404
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 8: Godzilla was coming down the streets.

405
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 3: To exactly and my only fear was I thought it

406
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 3: was a rap, honestly, because the building is so old

407
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 3: and we're I'm looking at the very top floor and

408
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 3: I'm going, yeah, the sting is gonna come down and

409
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: I was in an earthquake in La. I was at

410
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 3: that marry up by the airport. Be married up by

411
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 3: the airport, right, So it's like a tower.

412
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 2: Yes.

413
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 3: So I wake up and I had the drapes open

414
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 3: and I was I was actually with Kobe earlier that

415
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: day and that I look up and I'm like jarred awake,

416
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: and I'm like, what's going on? And like I feel

417
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: it moving? And I look and I see like we're

418
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 3: at a forty five degree angle because the building, I

419
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 3: guess is made to sweat.

420
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 8: I get correct, Yes, that they're built that way intentionally.

421
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: Yes.

422
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: And I was like, oh my god, like, what is

423
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 4: the world?

424
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 3: I heard it because you hear the sirens are going

425
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: off and everything else. Yeah, I'll tell you that's a

426
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: that's a that's fright. It's like it's just frightening and

427
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: weird and odd.

428
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 7: You hear the foundation talking like what's that?

429
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 8: Why is the room making that noise?

430
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god? And you guys, I mean listen, you know,

431
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 3: you guys deal with it all the time.

432
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 4: What was the last one that you had?

433
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:42,239
Speaker 2: Uh?

434
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 9: There was one, if I could remember correctly. Then I

435
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 9: vividly remember about three years ago. I was at my

436
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 9: apartment in the San Fernando Valley, and I don't remember

437
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 9: exactly what the magnetude was, but it was. And they

438
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 9: have these different types of earthquakes if you know them

439
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 9: well enough. They got rollers and shakers. So rollers is

440
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 9: one where you can feel like you're rocking back and

441
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 9: forth as almost as if like you're on the water,

442
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 9: like uneven waters. Shakers are the real scary ones. It's

443
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 9: almost like someone imagines them grabbing you by the shoulders

444
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 9: and literally jarring you like that.

445
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 8: Those are the scariest ones.

446
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 9: That one at that time was a roller, and you

447
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 9: feel like you almost feel like you're just kind of

448
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 9: riding away if you want to almost stay still and say, well,

449
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 9: this thing hopefully it just ends pretty soon. The most

450
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 9: devastating one, and people who've lived in LA for a

451
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 9: long period of time will remember in nineteen ninety four

452
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 9: on Mlkday, the epicenter was in Northridge and that was

453
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 9: absolutely devastating. A bridge collapsed. I was a kid at

454
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 9: the time. It was incredible. Literally, it felt as if

455
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 9: my house was going to get sunk in into the ground.

456
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 9: It wasn't, and that wasn't even any I was probably

457
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 9: thirty miles south of the epicenter, and that in it

458
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 9: jarred us, knocked stuff all over the place. That was

459
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 9: the scariest earthquake I've ever experienced in my life. That's

460
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 9: the worst one that I've ever lived through. I'll never

461
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 9: forget that one. So I may light up it earlier.

462
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 9: But yes, if you've never years of before even a

463
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 9: four point eight something that you would consider a quote

464
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 9: unquote later, we'll get you pretty good.

465
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. And again. And if I was just anywhere else,

466
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 3: I wouldn't probably had the reaction.

467
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 4: But being in this old building, yeah, is.

468
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 3: What I was.

469
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 10: Like.

470
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 4: The elevator was just out that week.

471
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,360
Speaker 3: I'm like, is something.

472
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 9: And I don't know like how frequent they are there

473
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 9: and whether or not the building has been retro fitted

474
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 9: for earthquakes like that.

475
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: So now the last one we had, we had one,

476
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: Oh my god, I want to say.

477
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: In twenty ten was our last one.

478

00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 3: it off of last night like that ridiculous game, And

519
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, was everybody the tall It's amazing

520
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 3: that here we're at the men's Final four and the

521
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 3: women's Final four is grabbing all the headlines.

522
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 2: You know, I thought it was actually a pretty surreal

523
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 2: moment last night because you know, you go to the

524
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: stadium because the Final four is at the football stadium

525
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: and we're all staying at the hotel that's right by

526
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 2: the football stadium, and there's this open air area you know,

527
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: with like Dave and Busters and Buffalo Wild Wings and

528
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,479
Speaker 2: Sports Bar, a couple of things like that, you know,

529
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 2: like they have near all these things. What was stunning

530
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: to me is that when we left the stadium we

531
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: walked through that open air area, it was packed. Obviously

532
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 2: a lot of basketball fans in town, that makes sense,

533
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 2: but it was packed to the brim and every single

534
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 2: TV at the South Carolina women's game on it, and

535
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: people were cheering. So when I went in to watch,

536
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, I went into the beat Ups to watch

537
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 2: the Iowa Connecticut game. I didn't want to sit in

538
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: my room for that. Wanted to have the ambiance and experience.

539
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 2: I sat in that beat Ups. It was crammed in there.

540
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 2: You would have thought it was a Super Bowl party,

541
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 2: and people were cheering for everything Caitlyn did at a

542
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: level that I just didn't expect. Like, you know, it's

543
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 2: a phenomenon, but when you're standing around, I'm thinking, like

544
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 2: it didn't matter what team somebody was wearing on their shirt.

545
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: It felt universally like the whole world wanted Caitlin Clark

546
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 2: to win last night. It was insane to see. So

547
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 2: the vibe is through the roof. And I think part

548
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: of that comes back to something you were talking about earlier,

549
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: is anyone giving Bama a chance? Like Bama's never here,

550
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 2: Purdue is never here. NC State's never here. Right like,

551
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: so all the fans yesterday that were walking around the

552
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 2: football stadium just there was so much joy and fun

553
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 2: in it. It really reminded me of like the season

554
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: of hope around the NFL Draft, Like everybody just absolutely

555
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: having a blast.

556
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's it, That's that's cool.

557
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: You know it is I kind of talking like the

558
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 3: story of the of the women's game and the attention

559
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: and especially now that you have that like ridiculous matchup,

560
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 3: it's wild, be faked.

561
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 4: You remember anything like it, because I I don't.

562
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 9: There's never been anything like it for women's basketball. I mean,

563
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 9: consider the fact you know that you know last week

564
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 9: at the Elite eight that they had twelve million viewers

565
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 9: for LSU and IOWA.

566
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,120
Speaker 8: By that better, that's better ratings than Thursday night football.

567
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 9: That was better raking ratings than all but one regular

568
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 9: season college football game this past year. That was a

569
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 9: Michigan and Ohio State better than the NBA Finals all

570
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,159
Speaker 9: but one NBA Finals game last year that was the

571
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 9: closeout game. I mean, it's absolutely insane, it really is,

572
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 9: and I think that's refreshing to a degree. And I

573
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 9: think it kind of comes back to not to always

574
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 9: bring it back to the men. But you mentioned what's

575
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 9: the big reason why we're so enthralled by it? Not

576
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 9: not only because I think mint. The women's basketball baketball

577
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 9: in general has become more of a skill game than

578
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 9: like a physical dunk on you power game. Even the

579
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 9: NBA is more towards you know, finesse and shooting threes.

580
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 9: But it's because there's familiarity with all these women. Kaitlin

581
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 9: Clark has been has been around for years. You know,

582
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 9: Paige Becker has had the devastating injury a couple of

583
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 9: years ago. When she burst onto the scene, she was

584
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 9: finally back. You know, you have Angel Reese and Falajah

585
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 9: Johnson and all those ladies at LSU. These are all

586
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 9: familiar names that we've learned to find familiar over the

587
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 9: last three to four seasons. So the storylines are built.

588
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 9: They played last year in the championship game. You know,

589
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 9: did LSU in Iowa, So everybody anticipated the rematch. Last

590
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 9: year in a semi final, South Carolina played against Kaitlyn

591
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 9: Clark in Iowa.

592
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 8: Now it's a rematch.

593
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 9: You just don't have that in men's basketball anymore because

594
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 9: guys are transferring left and right, Guys are ones and duns.

595
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 8: You just can't build any familiarity.

596
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 9: You can't learn to love or hate anybody because you

597
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 9: don't know who anybody is every other month.

598
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: Also, like to pile on for that for a second.

599
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: This isn't a unique take, but I'll just say this.

600
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: I open the show complaining about the way we treat officials. Obviously,

601
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 2: but I'll say this, the fact that people are so

602
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: consumed with the officials in a women's basketball game, like

603
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 2: the fact that that call had ye that are absolutely erupting.

604
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: The fact that now people are conspiracy theorizing that well,

605
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: you know, NCAA just wanted to go ahead and make

606
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: sure that Caitlin got into the final for ratings, Like

607
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 2: the fact that that's where we've gone shows how far

608
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: the sport's gone and its coverage. Like I saw someone

609
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: the other day tweet out, you know, a scathing review

610
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 2: of the way women's basketball right now is being covered

611
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: by so many people with bad takes and bad opinions,

612
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 2: and they obviously haven't watched the games. And I thought, yeah,

613
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: like the way most mainstream media covers most sports, like

614
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: you've arrived, like an uneducated opinion and debate on a

615
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,360
Speaker 2: sport is what they do on first take every day.

616
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to blast them, I'm just saying, like, that's

617
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 2: just that's part of the tradition of sports coverage.

618
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 3: Let's go, well, that's so spot on, then it's spot

619
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 3: on conspiracy complaining about officials and uneducated opinions. You're right, man,

620
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 3: that's like, welcome to the world of football.

621
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, you've arrived. Women's basketball, you finally arrived.

622
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 2: You two are seamheads. You do with this every year?

623
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: See look at me using seamheads, Like I know what

624
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. When you get to the World Series

625
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: every year, you can't tell me it doesn't just to

626
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 2: your core make you want to scream when you just

627
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: watch some of these shows and you're like, man, they

628
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,959
Speaker 2: have not watched the second of baseball all year, and

629
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 2: now this is the raging, stupid debate that they're finally

630
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: giving us like this is what we do, right, so

631
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: you know, kudos to it. And by the way, I

632
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 2: will just say this, why is it that you can

633
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 2: go to a conspiracy theorist with like forty facts from

634
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: forty good sources and they will deny all of it.

635
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 2: But you can go to one like Twitter Bob that

636
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: says that we didn't land on the moon because of

637
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 2: this file that's on Reddit, and they're like, ah, totally

638
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 2: buy that. They won't buy the actual ideas. You can

639
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: give them facts, they're not buying it. But you know,

640
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 2: your uncle's cousins and Tony that had knows somebody that

641
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: used to work gett Nassa and all in on that. Yes,

642
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 2: where we are now? Like obviously, like I said at

643
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 2: the beginning, I mean as somebody that the four letters,

644
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 2: I can only you know how great it would be

645
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: if I could write now tweet hey hey, as a

646
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: former employee of ESPN, they're in on it. They're fixing

647
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 2: college football and they're fixing college basketball. If I could

648
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: say that and mean it, boy, like I'd be on

649
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: like Good Morning America Monday, like it would blow my

650
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 2: profile up, business move for me and I sit here

651
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: and say no, they they know the one thing that

652
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 2: they know is that fans will watch it no matter what. Right,

653
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 2: So like, no, there's nobody's fixing anything. But can't tell

654
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 2: conspiracy theorist the fact.

655
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 3: No, no, but it's it's spot on and it's true.

656
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 3: It's speaking of baseball. It should drive me nuts because

657
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: like a guy like John Smoltz, how about a fake

658
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: He's incredible, right, Like, he gives you such incredible analysis

659
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: of the game, and then all your complaints about people

660
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: and from people, and I'm going, that's because you don't

661
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 3: really care about baseball. It's about baseball. It's the same

662
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 3: thing that drives me nuts about the Super Bowl when

663
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: when we lose the Super Bowl to people that don't

664
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 3: really like football.

665
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 9: Right, they said, it's sue technical, it's to x's and o's,

666
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 9: And it's like, well, what do you want that is

667
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 9: there for?

668
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: That is a true I'm telling I'm peeking behind the

669
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 2: curtain here on a true story, Jay will And I

670
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: don't think I'm revealing any secrets. But Jay Williams used

671
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 2: to on radio go deep dive into NBA basketball. I

672
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: finally came to him and they're like, you can't do

673
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: that anymore. Like nobody understands it and people don't want

674
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 2: to hear it. He's like, well, isn't it our job

675
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 2: to to like explain it? And the answer was nah, no, no, no, no, no,

676
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: Like it's just it's your have to talk about.

677
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 8: A couple of months ago, JJ Reddick said, a couple

678
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 8: of months ago.

679
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 3: Only I got to be honest with you. I loved

680
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 3: what Jay Will did that. Yeah, I remember being upset

681
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: going and I knew exactly what he was doing, and

682
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: they told him that, you know, you have to dumb

683
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: it down and be more you know, sensationalistic and you know,

684
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: salacious and and you know, hot take or universal.

685
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 9: I guess they say, don't get so caught up in

686
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 9: the weeds on the technical stuff because you're.

687
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: Going to lose a lot of people.

688
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: Right to the broadest set of the audience. I most

689
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: people don't want the x's and oh stuff like yeah,

690
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. To me, Like, well, I love with Baldy,

691
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: like when you're doing film breakdowns, Like when Baldy posts

692
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: that stuff, it means so much to me because I

693
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 2: know he knows what he's talking about, Like you know

694
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 2: what I sat down with Like guys like I did

695
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: a sort of a work study thing that I really

696
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 2: wanted to coordinate a couple of years ago, where I

697
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: would take a set of plays that I wanted to

698
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 2: know more about, and I would sit down with Ryan

699
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: Clark and dan Or Lobsky at the same time, and

700
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 2: I'd ask one to explain it to me from the

701
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: defensive side, one from the offensive side. And I loved it.

702
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: So I actually pitched that at the time as a

703
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 2: TV show, and everybody was like, yeah, nobody will watch

704
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: that's two in the weeks, Like I love that stuff.

705
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. You know what's interesting is that everybody says, no, way,

706
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:18,120
Speaker 3: I'll watch it. But when you talk to like sports people,

707
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 3: everybody loves it. M h, You're all crave and it's

708
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 3: it's a much at a point where they don't want

709
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 3: to take a chance. Because I do think that we

710
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 3: the way we celebrate sport in America, men and women,

711
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: I think people would love stuff like.

712
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 8: That in some senses.

713
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 9: Yes, I know that one of the lowest rated shows

714
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 9: on ESPN over the last decade has been NFL Matchup,

715
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 9: which is a show that we would love. It's all

716
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 9: film breakdowns and all that, and they keep it around,

717
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 9: So there's almost there's something to be said for the

718
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 9: general fan, as much as they love the sport, don't

719
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 9: want to go into the x's and o's and go

720
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 9: deep dive into blockings and who's running what route and

721
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 9: all that. They just want to see it's cool that

722
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 9: some guy got open and Tyreek Hill burn somebody for

723
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 9: a seventy yard touchdown. There was a niche part of

724
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 9: the audience, guys like us who do eat that sort

725
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 9: of stuff up. But I do I do understand if

726
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 9: you're talking about a national broadcast audience on say a

727
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 9: Super Bowl and not having an analyst go too deep

728
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 9: into it, because you will run the general audience.

729
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: You'll show like remember keep peel when they look like

730
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: Obama and then Obama's like other personality in the same skit. Yeah,

731
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: that's what I want to do. Do the smart breakdown,

732
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 2: and then I'll just stand behind y'all while it's smart,

733
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: and I'll scream out the really dumb thing for everybody

734
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 2: to be able to say, and then we fixed the

735
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: whole thing. Everybody everybody's happy.

736
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 3: You're a genius.

737
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 8: But what Knight Football tried to do with the three

738
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 8: man booth.

739
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 2: Back in the day.

740
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 9: Yes, the problem is that, you know, they had to

741
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 9: break downs for fouts, and then Dennis Miller just broke

742
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 9: it down to a.

743
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 8: Completely different direction and lost everybody.

744
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 3: You know. Yeah, he was the wrong It was the

745
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 3: right idea. It was just the wrong, wrong guy.

746
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, you need somebody more slapstick, yes, less, less intellectual,

747
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 9: more slapstick.

748
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right,

749

759
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: before the game's tip and uh we'll just get a

760
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: little access back underneath to film some stuff and do

761
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 2: a little previews stuff, and then everything else is just

762
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: watching the games. And then other cool thing is because

763
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: of the way the court is set up, you know,

764
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 2: elevated in the middle. Like they've got a whole group

765
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 2: of us that basically have seats right up against the court.

766
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 2: So we'll be sitting directly court side up against the court.

767
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,280
Speaker 2: And then after the court we hop up on the

768
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 2: the actual court itself almost I keep wanting to say

769
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 2: stage because it's so elevated, hop up on the court,

770
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 2: and then we'll do some postgame reaction videos. Me and

771
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: Kristin Peake and Danny Green will do some postgame reaction

772
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 2: videos literally on the court. So really cool. Much more

773
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 2: access to the college basketball Final four experience than there

774
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: is to the college football playoffs. It's really interesting how

775
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: comfortable they were yesterday just letting everybody walk around on

776
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: the court, and you know, I could have grabbed a

777
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: ball and shot around if I wanted, if nobody was

778
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 2: over there. It's pretty pretty crazy.

779
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was your what was your access for the college.

780
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 2: Football Like they let you on the field, but then

781
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 2: once you hit a certain time in the game, if

782
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 2: you you know, you you have to leave the field

783
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 2: area once you hit I think five minutes into the game.

784
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 2: So as opposed to this where they let you just

785
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: sit around the whole time.

786
00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's amazing how how it's become so Ork,

787
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 3: particularly with football, you know, NFL the same way. I mean,

788
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: you know, I remember being at Super Bowls where now

789
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 3: I was a writer, so I was always like up

790
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 3: in the press box, but in the now it's the

791
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: press you know area or whatever. But early on, I

792
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: mean like you could actually watch the game from the

793
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: end zone and the early Super Bowls wild, Yeah, yeah

794
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 3: it was. It's it's pretty nuts. What's the I can't

795
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: it's funny, the the eaty factor, Like, how do you guys?

796
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 3: I look at him, and you know what's funny about him?

797
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 3: I can't warm up to him, Like I try to

798
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:47,400
Speaker 3: warm up to him, but I am and listen, he's

799
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 3: you know, he comes back. It's a big deal. He

800
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 3: comes back and he's a dominant force. But there's something

801
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: about him that I can't warm up to. Does that

802
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 3: Does that make sense to you?

803
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, and he's got a The best way

804
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: I can say it is he's got a I'm over

805
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 2: all of this sort of vibe going right now. Like

806
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 2: he did media availability for almost an hour, which was

807
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 2: really nice of him to put himself out there that long.

808
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,479
Speaker 2: But he just you know, like sitting at the table

809
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 2: and being interested at the sitting at the table are

810
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: two different things. Not his job to be interested, but

811
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: even somebody, one of the reporters asked him, was like,

812
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 2: are you even enjoying this? And his answer was basically, well, yeah,

813
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 2: this is part of what comes with the territory, So

814
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 2: I guess yeah, I'm enjoying it because it's part of

815
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 2: the job. And it was like, man, it's just I

816
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 2: actually feel bad for the kid because I think we've

817
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 2: spent so much time talking about what his future looks

818
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 2: like in the NBA and all this stuff, and it's like,

819
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 2: here's just a kid in the final four, and I'm

820
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: not sure that's even sunk in yet for him. Like

821
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: he's he's got a particular edge of it. Just I

822
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 2: wanted to reach out to get m hug, which I think

823
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: probably would have gotten me kicked out, but you know,

824
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 2: he just wanted to.

825
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 9: I feel like he kind of knows that he's towards

826
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 9: the end and that he probably doesn't have much of

827
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 9: a playing career in the NBA, and so he's been

828
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 9: so scrutinized. His team has fallen short so many times

829
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 9: the last couple of years, and you saw the raw

830
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 9: emotion when they made into the Final four, winning at

831
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,919
Speaker 9: the Elite eight last weekend. I just think you he's

832
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 9: just locked in. This is really important for him, and

833
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 9: so he's over the talking. He just wants to play.

834
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 9: I actually respect it.

835
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: I do too, But do you feel that the like

836
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 3: I get in the warmth from him like I feel like,

837
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 3: And it's worth disgusting because he's the biggest star there,

838
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 3: all right? Where the fellas hanging out on a Final

839
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,120

845
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: into the Masters and then the NFL Draft and of

846
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 3: course uh and FITZI brought it up. Man baseball baseball

847
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 3: is the best man baseball has been back. It's been

848
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: a fun first week of the season. Fellas come be

853
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 3: buying should be. All Right, we were talking about Zach

854
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 3: Edie as Fitzi's down at the Final four out in Glendale, Arizona.

855
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 3: And it's interesting because Yukon's the best team and yet

856
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: Zach Eatie is the best, is the most well known player,

857
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 3: not the best player, but the most well known player.

858
00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 3: It's certainly the most dominant force. And he he's interesting

859
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 3: because he's not the guy. Usually, if you have a

860
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 3: player of his ilk on the team that's not the favorite,

861
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 3: you'd root for him. But he doesn't. He doesn't. I

862
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 3: don't know if it's because it's the big man or

863
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 3: if it's he's got that Drago feel to him, but

864
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:21,919
Speaker 3: he doesn't get that kind of warm and fuzzy kind

865
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: of following you feel me fitsy No, And like.

866
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,839
Speaker 2: It's the hard part about all of this is there's

867
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 2: a fine line on whether athletes even care about this.

868
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 2: But like some guys care about likability or marketability or

869
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: any of those things. Like you know, even talking to

870
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,919
Speaker 2: DJ Burns from Nzie State and you know, somebody asked

871
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: him what the name of It's like this thing has

872
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: been like for him over the last month, and he said, man,

873
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: every day somebody calls it. He's just like so happy

874
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: that anybody even wants to work with him and knows

875
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: his name, and like it's surreal for him. But he's

876
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 2: sort of playing with house money, right, Like there weren't

877
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 2: these expectations for NC State, there weren't these expectations for Bama.

878
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 2: If you're Purdue coming off with one of the most

879
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: epic fails that we'll ever remember forever, you'll be a

880
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 2: sixteen that lost or one that lost to was sixteen

881
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: last year. That's just etched and who you are. And

882
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,240
Speaker 2: I think part of between that, and between the fact

883
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,399
Speaker 2: that we can't seem to talk about Zach Edy without

884
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 2: then questioning whether or not his game translates to the NBA,

885
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: I just don't think that there's been much chance for

886
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: him to just sit back and have a good time.

887
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 2: You know, like everybody from Purdue was just much more

888
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: buttoned up, much more likely just give me the hell

889
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 2: out of here. I want to move on. I want

890
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,719
Speaker 2: to have a good time, and you know I or

891
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 2: I want to move on, and I want to play

892
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 2: the game. And I think everybody has some business like

893
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 2: aspect to him. But there just isn't. Zach Edy is

894
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: just not that guy that people are flocking to to

895
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 2: want to talk to. I don't know why. It just

896
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 2: doesn't translate the way other superstars in other years have.

897
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 3: What is a fake? Is it the Big Man? Is

898
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 3: it the Drago personality? What is it?

899
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 9: Maybe it's the Drago personality. I think it actually surprised

900
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 9: a lot of people the show of motion that he

901
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 9: had when they actually ended up winning last weekend and clinched,

902
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 9: you know, a berth into the Final four after being

903
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 9: maligned these last two years, falling short, you know, early

904
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 9: in the tournament. Yeah, he's probably not the most warm,

905
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 9: fuzzy guy, you know, he would He's even talked about

906
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 9: being a Canadian citizen. He realized he's not even eligible

907
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 9: for NIL deals, which is insane for how that rule works.

908
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 9: Because he's on a student visa. So I'd imagine somewhere

909
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 9: and at the very least at near Purdue he'd get endorsements.

910
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 9: But he's not even able to do that. So maybe

911
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 9: that contributes somewhat surliness to a little bit. And he's like,

912
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 9: I'm the best player the last two years in college basketball,

913
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 9: and I can't even profit off of it. I will

914
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 9: say this like, I'm rooting for him. I always like

915
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 9: underdog stories. You know, after Virginia got knocked out in

916
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,400
Speaker 9: the first round and they came back and won the

917
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 9: National Championship that next season, I was rooting for them

918
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 9: to actually turn around and go through some adversity and

919
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 9: win a championship. I don't think it's likely for Purdue

920
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 9: to happen, but I'm certainly pulling for them. I like

921
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 9: Zach Edie. I have nothing against him. Whether or not

922
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 9: he's surly or bubb league doesn't necessarily matter to me.

923
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 9: He's been a phenomenal player, and I like seeing the

924
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 9: best players play well on the biggest stage. So I

925
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 9: certainly would not be disappointed of producing somehow find a

926
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 9: way to make it past Yukon. I'm already giving them

927
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 9: the victory this on today, obviously, to make it past

928
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 9: Yukon in the National Championship.

929
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 3: I don't think it'll happen, but he certainly has a

930
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 3: fan in me. All right, so let's look at today,

931
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 3: man and me exactly right. That's great me, Zach Woody

932
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 3: and buzz that's right man, So that was your childhood, right,

933
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 3: what's that Toy Story.

934
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, for Toy Story to be my childhood right.

935
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 3: Not at all?

936
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was. It was definitely my childhood.

937
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: Yes, When did Toy Story come out? Wasn't it?

938
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 9: Like me, early early to mid nineties, I'd say somewhere

939
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 9: between ninety three and ninety six, I'd say, I mean.

940
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm just how old is too old for that to

941
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 2: be part of your childhood? I'm looking it released in

942
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: ninety five.

943
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, I was a full fledged child at that time,

944
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 8: so absolutely, I.

945
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,399
Speaker 2: Was graduating from high school. So like, I just feel

946
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: like that's a little tool for Toy Story to be

947
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 2: part of my child Like I'm a big Pixar fan.

948
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 2: I love all the movies, but you know, and I

949
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: think toy stores it's a little you know, I think

950
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 2: if you're if you're doing the hibity dibity, you can't

951
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:19,760
Speaker 2: be part of your childhood.

952
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 3: So like, you know what's not You're right, I agree,

953
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 3: if you're a hibity dibity you can't be like if

954
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 3: you're a hibbity dibity age, Yeah, it's not. But what's

955
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 3: wild about that is I can't believe that was done

956
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 3: in ninety five because my Anthony was born in o

957
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 3: nine and like I remember watching those those toy stories

958
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:49,680
Speaker 3: with him, like he loved it.

959
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, they were great. It's one of my favorite movies

960
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 8: back then.

961
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 3: And like like they stay that has such staying power,

962
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 3: really does for years, right, Like like it was wid.

963
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 8: And the second one.

964
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 9: I don't know if the second one was better than

965
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 9: the first, but considering sequels usually are are just thorough disappointments.

966
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 8: The sequel was very good.

967
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the sequel was I'm gonna say the

968
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: sequel was better.

969
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 8: I think the sequal was better. I can get you

970
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 8: all that.

971
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: I don't.

972
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, the third is considered the best one of the three.

973
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 3: Well, the third one he goes to college, right, yeah, No,

974
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 3: the third one was too sad.

975
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, it was very emotional. Yeah, extremely emotional.

976
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 2: H the second one. Everybody's crying too. I mean, I'm

977
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 2: just The second one came out in ninety nine. Here's

978
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: here's this is alarming because of googling this as we go.

979
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 2: The first one came out in ninety five and did

980
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 2: a box office of basically three hundred and ninety five

981
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 2: million dollars. That's incredible in ninety five. The second one

982
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,360
Speaker 2: came out in ninety nine and did five hundred and

983
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 2: eleven million dollars, and then the third one came out

984
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 2: in twenty ten and did one point one billion dollars.

985
00:47:56,880 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 3: Esh.

986
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a phenomenal amount of money on each

987
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 2: and that's probably explains, like the third one coming out

988
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: in ten explains why you guys would be watching it

989
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: as a family, because the new ones out and then

990
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 2: you watch the old ones and it becomes all part

991
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 2: of culture, you.

Speaker 3: You know you're not gonna leave on that much Like

00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 3: you just said, you went to a studio execut go, hey,

1002
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 3: the first one did three hundred and million million, the

1003
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 3: second one five eleven million, and if they're one in

1004
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 3: a one point two billion, and then the studio executive

1005
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 3: is going, yeah, why are we doing this? Let's make

1006
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,600
Speaker 3: Toy Story five. You know, I love.

1007
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 2: The follow up question. I imagine in my head all

1008
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 2: the numbers in the studio exactly says, well, where the

1009
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: movies could And the guy's like, again, let.

1010
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 9: Me run these the first one to three, right, Yeah,

1011
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 9: Because I didn't even know there was a four. Oh,

1012
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 9: just looking it up, I had no idea there's a

1013
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 9: Toy Story four. I thought three was the last one.

1014
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: No, I've never seen four, because the ending of three

1015
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,920
Speaker 2: would like I think, if you're if you have a

1016
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 2: heart and a soul, you ugly cried, and I heard

1017
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: four was even more sad. So I'm really I don't

1018
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 2: need this. I don't I don't need Toy Story to

1019
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: make me cry. I want Toy Story to make me

1020
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 2: laugh like I want, you know, Pixar movies to make

1021
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,839
Speaker 2: me laugh. I don't need a lesson. I don't need

1022
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 2: to be better from them, and I don't need emotion

1023
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:31,400
Speaker 2: like sadness from them.

1024
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 9: I've they have, I'd say, over the last decade or so,

1025
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 9: all Pixar movies are like that.

1026
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: Now I can't. That's that's the problem I have with

1027
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 2: sitcoms too, Like ninety nine percent of the time sitcoms

1028
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:43,720
Speaker 2: on TV even the ones you like. In the beginning,

1029
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: they're hysterical, and by the end it's like the writers

1030
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 2: suddenly want to make some big statement, they want to

1031
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 2: turn into something that they're not. Like if I'm watching Friends,

1032
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: I don't need Friends to evolve to the point that

1033
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: it's more than just friends. I didn't need Seinfeld to

1034
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 2: get into a deep think piece.

1035
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 3: I just need these things that's never happened with Seinfeld. Right, So,

1036
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 3: but you're right with Friends, like you're right, Like you know,

1037
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 3: I don't meet Joey on h you know what I'm saying.

1038
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 9: Like.

1039
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: You a thousand, like even even saved by the Bell,

1040
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 2: like all the way back in the nineties, like all

1041
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: of a sudden, everybody's got drug addiction issues. I'm like,

1042
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 2: I don't need that. It's saved by the Bell, Like

1043
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 2: just give me my teen drama like comedy thing a

1044
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 2: team comedy, I should say, and leave.

1045
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 8: Your drama at or a big one for me for

1046
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 8: ah was uh uh?

1047
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:30,719
Speaker 9: What was with will Smith, first Prince of bel Air

1048
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 9: when he had his his father came back into the

1049
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 9: picture then disappeared.

1050
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and.

1051
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 9: He's crying at the end and yelling to hell with

1052
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 9: him and he's hugging Uncle Phil. At the end, I

1053
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 9: was like, what happened to Carlton doing goofy dances? And

1054
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,440

1080
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 3: So it's it's it's his team, like you know, inner

1081
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 3: city kids in LA and it's in the eighties, right,

1082
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 3: and it's every episode, but it was actually every episode

1083
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 3: had like a less you know, it was you know, drugs,

1084
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 3: it was gang violence, but they had great It was

1085
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:24,320
Speaker 3: actually like really well done. And they had a kid

1086
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 3: who was I'll never forget they was Coolidge, and Coolidge

1087
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 3: was like it was a big man and he was

1088
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 3: like a real good, great player and he was getting

1089
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 3: rued by an agent in high school and like it

1090
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 3: was the whole thing about the agents and the game

1091
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 3: and why he should go to college and the whole thing.

1092
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 3: And it was like all these like life lessons that

1093
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 3: you're talking about, but it was wrapped around these kids

1094
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: in a basketball setting and it actually was a great

1095
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 3: It was actually a fun show. They would have like

1096
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 3: a lot of cameos of like NBA people, basketball people,

1097
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 3: so it was it was it was kind of fun

1098
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,400
Speaker 3: and you get watched to be a fair because if

1099
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 3: you're if you're bored, you have like like on a

1100
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,840
Speaker 3: plane or whatever fits, you gotta watch like an episode.

1101
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't figure, I've been asking you to do it,

1102
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 3: like just watch one episode on YouTube.

1103
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm totally gonna find it, Like I just I

1104
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 2: just wrote it down. I'm absolutely gonna find it. You

1105
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 2: got me sold. And plus, you know, early eighties TV

1106
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:28,879
Speaker 2: wildly underrated for how good it is. So yeah, I'm

1107
00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 2: all in.

1108
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 3: On that actually was decent, like it was that Mark.

1109
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 7: It was the whole thing about teaching right from wrong,

1110
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 7: keeping your basically keeping your emotions intact, you know, high

1111
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 7: school guys learning how to be go from boys to

1112
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 7: be a man, and learning how to put those things.

1113
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 8: Together so you could get your life together.

1114
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 7: And the whole thing was I guess eventually going to college,

1115
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 7: but it was the life lessons and teaching you how

1116
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 7: to do right from wrong.

1117
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, but all through basketball, right, like.

1118
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 8: All through basketball.

1119
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,359
Speaker 7: It had all the team making sure that the that

1120
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:12,319
Speaker 7: whatever basketball did for your life by making the right

1121
00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 7: decisions and doing the right things, being a team together

1122
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:17,800
Speaker 7: was the goal of the show.

1123
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's great. I love that.

1124
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was, actually it was. It was actually well done,

1125
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 3: It really was. It was funny. It's funny to get

1126
00:54:25,400 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 3: on tangent. But like we tweld about for me, so

1127
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 3: I was like a thing. I'm kid, right, So I'm

1128
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 3: a sports nerd, like, oh I do with sports right,

1129
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 3: watch play you know whatever. So when sports were coming

1130
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 3: to mainstream TV, it wasn't like now, right, like sports

1131
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 3: are so omnipresent. Back then, it wasn't as popular it

1132
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 3: is now. So like it was like a big deal that,

1133
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 3: you know, a whole series was based around basketball.

1134
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm all in on this. You you have

1135
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 2: sold me on it. It feels great, and I wish

1136
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 2: we had more like that. Just feels like at least

1137
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,279
Speaker 2: a slightly different, unique idea. I wish we did more

1138
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 2: of that right now, like that, that's awesome. I'm on,

1139
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,600
Speaker 2: I just wrote it down, watch it. I'm gonna I'm

1140
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 2: gonna get it on YouTube. I'm gonna watch it on

1141
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 2: the flight next week and I'll let you know what

1142
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: I think.

1143
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 3: I love it. I absolutely love it. I'm glad, I'm

1144
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 3: click no, thank you. But anyway, get back to the

1145
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: scene at hand, which is the final four and everything.

1146
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 4: Burns Eatie, Like.

1147
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 3: You did a good job of of of juxtaposting those two,

1148
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 3: because I mean, Burns is the big guy that they

1149
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:42,319
Speaker 3: people love and he needs the cold hearted dude that

1150
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 3: people don't like, right, and so you have this It's true, right,

1151
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,439
Speaker 3: you know, it's pretty odd, very much like a Rocky

1152
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 3: Dragle thing.

1153
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 8: For some reason on total got painted as a villain.

1154
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,919
Speaker 4: But I know, like if you look at Burns, you go.

1155
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 3: The smile, yes yet and the other dude like he

1156
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 3: never there's no joy in his face. He's kind of

1157
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 3: a hate to face. You're gonna be real about it.

1158
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got resting you know what face he does.

1159
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 4: He does no listen. He's a dominant force.

1160
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 3: And and that's the thing because he's so big, so massive,

1161
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 3: and it's such a unique thing. And I and I figure,

1162
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Like I kind of feel bad

1163
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 3: too because people can't wait to rip him, like he's

1164
00:56:37,400 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 3: not gonna he's gonna stick it to the next level.

1165
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 3: He can't can't guard anybody, like I don't know, like

1166
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 3: maybe you know, maybe it's it's he's so big that

1167
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 3: maybe he's he is.

1168
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 10: People struggle to guard him, like that's possibility. It's possible.

1169
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 10: I'll be honest, I don't think it's likely. But again,

1170
00:56:57,960 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 10: he's not at that level yet. We're still in the

1171
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 10: font he has college games left to play. Like we're

1172
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 10: projecting him to the next level and basically hating on

1173
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 10: him for how he is. Now, let's talk about how

1174
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 10: he's gonna play now. Like, quite honestly, I think he

1175
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 10: probably dominates DJ Burns. As well as Burns has played,

1176
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,480
Speaker 10: he hasn't had to play as as great as his

1177
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,439
Speaker 10: skill set is and the quick feet and all that

1178
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 10: is hard to get shots up and around a force

1179
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 10: that big, it really is.

1180
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 2: I think this Burns thing is going to be really

1181
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 2: interesting because we fall in love with what we've seen

1182
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 2: and when it's when it's better than what we usually see.

1183
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 2: So Like, I will always argue that part of the

1184
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 2: reason the world loves Steph is because everybody knows some

1185
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:36,840
Speaker 2: guy at a gym that could just go off and

1186
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: shoot from anywhere. Everybody knows like superhuman, Like just that guy.

1187
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 2: You look at that guy and you're like, that's that's

1188
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 2: the guy that's going to dominate, Like, doesn't necessarily have

1189
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 2: this stereotypical body for Domination doesn't really run like some

1190
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 2: of the Dominates. He looks like he's winded thirty seconds

1191
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:55,959
Speaker 2: into the game, sweating it in just an abnormal level

1192
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 2: right away, like and then still just killing it for

1193
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 2: hour after hour after hour. That's what Burns has been doing,

1194
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 2: like every game. I thought somebody's gonna run him out

1195
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 2: of shape and run him out of the game, and

1196
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 2: he's just not an issue for him. So like, I

1197
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,960
Speaker 2: think we love all of that. I'm curious to see

1198
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 2: what it looks like against a genuine what are you

1199
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 2: going to do against this guy, big guy, because that's

1200
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: just going to be absolutely Zach eat should be a nightmare.

1201
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 2: I think for DJ Burns. I hope I'm wrong because

1202
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 2: DJ is such a great story, but man, I think

1203
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 2: I think I don't guards with him.

1204
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 8: DJ is here, You're right, I would agree.

1205
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 9: He's that guy at the wire or the guy at

1206
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 9: the park that when you're you're mad at yourself, like

1207
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 9: I was.

1208
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: On and then all of a sudden he does these

1209
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 2: sneaky moves. You're like, He's like, no, the fat guy

1210
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 2: doing that?

1211
00:58:39,320 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 4: What the hell's going on?

1212
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 3: Right now?

1213
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 2: We all know somebody in the gym. I'm not saying

1214
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: DJ's fat. I'm saying, like the guy, I'm just saying,

1215
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 2: that's like Burns is a little plumpy. The peace basket

1216
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 2: ain't lacking, but I'm just saying, yeah.

1217
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 9: You know, yeah, no, it's just let's just say he's

1218
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 9: snuck up on a lot of people in the tournament,

1219
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 9: you know, and by the time you get by the

1220
00:58:57,640 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 9: time you get to the Elite eight Final four, you know,

1221
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 9: he is, so at that point in time, he's not

1222
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:02,840
Speaker 9: sneaking up on anybody and he's still balling.

1223
00:59:02,920 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 8: So credit much credit to.

1224
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 3: Him, exactly. All right, let's take quick time out where

1225

1234
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:49,560
Speaker 3: off the air. All right, Uh, you guys, give Vinci

1235
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 3: state any kind of shot that the line is nine,

1236
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 3: and it's it's that's a big number, man.

1237
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 2: I do. I think what's interesting is coming into the tournament,

1238
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 2: nobody had really shot the ball well and consistently for

1239
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 2: Purdue other than Edie, I think the rest of the

1240
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 2: cast is really settled down and played very well. So

1241
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 2: I want to give them credit for that. I think

1242
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 2: that's a big part of this, I will say. I mean,

1243
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if Purdue feels any stress right now,

1244
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 2: but man, NC State, there was a really cool moment

1245
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: yesterday talking to the guys and they were talking about

1246
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:27,919
Speaker 2: how they all pulled their phones out for the first

1247
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 2: five minutes they walked around and everybody took video and

1248
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: they took selfies and they had a blast. And then

1249
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 2: coach was like, Okay, that's the end of that. I

1250
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 2: wanted you to have the experience and how we get

1251
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 2: to work. They do seem to have a little bit

1252
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 2: of a understanding of the moment for a team that

1253
01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,920
Speaker 2: didn't expect to be here. And as much as I've

1254
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,760
Speaker 2: talked to every one of them to try to figure

1255
01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 2: out what changed, the best sense I can get and

1256
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 2: this is, you know, trying to piece together the same

1257
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 2: story from ten different guys, but everybody just says, well,

1258
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 2: we decided we weren't playing the best version of ourselves,

1259
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 2: so we needed to be better defensively. It really sounds

1260
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 2: like they that down and how to come to Jesus

1261
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 2: meeting about actually showing up, because you get little hints

1262
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 2: from the guys that they weren't committed and guys weren't

1263
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 2: showing up to the practices, and guys weren't giving everything

1264
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 2: in the training room and things like that. So there's

1265
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 2: been a shift in the way they approach the business

1266
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: side of it that I think has really changed for

1267
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 2: NC State. So I would love to see the story continue.

1268
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 2: But man, I just I could see Edie going for

1269
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 2: forty again.

1270
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I could see the same thing.

1271
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 9: The only way I see them winning is if I

1272
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 9: would say, if Burns has a big game. It's just

1273
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 9: hard for me to see Burns having a big game

1274
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 9: against Edie had to head. I think the best way

1275
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 9: to beat Edie. You mentioned how do you defend him

1276
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 9: is to really try to take him away from the basket,

1277
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 9: and Burns does most of his work from you know,

1278
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 9: twelve feet in and that's the biggest issue you needed

1279
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 9: to have like a big who can kind of stretch

1280
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 9: the floor a little bit, or someone that could pull

1281
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 9: them away, run some pick and roll and do some

1282
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 9: damage that way, and they're just not built that way.

1283
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 9: So I mean, look, if hornanke Key's playing the way

1284
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 9: that he's playing, you know, I guess as possible. But

1285
01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 9: to fits his point, you know, the question most of

1286
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 9: us had about Purdue going into the tournament to begin with,

1287
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 9: despite their great regular season, was how the guard's going

1288
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 9: to play? And all we really needed them to do

1289
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 9: was to defend solidly and make their shots, and they've

1290
01:02:13,880 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 9: been doing it with regularity in the tournament, so there's

1291
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 9: no reason for me to believe that they won't continue

1292
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 9: to do that. On top of the fact that I

1293
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 9: think Edie is still going to be able to eat

1294
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 9: pretty well on the inside against Burns or Tiara or

1295
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 9: whoever else they decide to throw at him. So I

1296
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 9: guess they have a chance, but I don't think it's

1297
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 9: very likely.

1298
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, And by the way, if Tennessee didn't shut them down,

1299
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 2: like I don't want to get that twisted, like Tennessee

1300
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,919
Speaker 2: is very good defensively, was I mean, they were well

1301
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: regarded for a reason, and they came in with the

1302
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: game plan they were trying. And that's why I'll go

1303
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 2: back to one thing Danny Green said. You know that

1304
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: when there was a time where he was playing for

1305
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 2: the Spurs where you know, they went into whatever the

1306
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 2: game was with the game plan and Pap was yelling

1307
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 2: at everybody, and finally Danny just walked to the sidelines

1308
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 2: and looked at Pop and said, look, you can have

1309
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 2: this game plan all day long, I can't execute it.

1310
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Like there are certain times that the matchups just aren't

1311
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 2: right and you can try your best. You have the

1312
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 2: best plan of the world, but you don't have the

1313
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 2: bodies to execute it. And I still keep coming back

1314
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 2: to the one variable in this game that we don't

1315
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 2: know right now is how are the officials going to

1316
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 2: call it? Because if they are calling it tight, you

1317
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 2: could see both teams getting massive amounts of foul trouble

1318
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:22,320
Speaker 2: trying to shut down the respective big and that changes everything.

1319
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 2: That I think is the best hope for NC State

1320
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 2: is that if the refs are calling it tight, you know,

1321
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 2: is DJ Burdens able to get a bunch of people

1322
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 2: in foul trouble? Now we may have some issues and you.

1323
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 9: Know, and one thing that you mentioned with the game

1324
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 9: being played in the football stadium. We often see this

1325
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 9: at Final four is the sidelines. The backdrops are different,

1326
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 9: and a lot of times the shooting percentages will go down.

1327
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 9: So you do wonder potentially that Purdue might have some

1328
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 9: struggles offensively and if it's a low scoring game, all

1329
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,360
Speaker 9: it takes is a play here and a play there

1330
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 9: in NC State can hang around. And if they can

1331
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 9: hang around, they have they have a shot to win

1332
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 9: towards the end. Yeah, Purdue could get in their heads

1333
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 9: and say here we go again. So that is something

1334
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 9: to keep an eye on in a situation like this,

1335
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 9: just knowing that the shooting percentage just traditionally go down

1336
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 9: when you play these games in stadiums.

1337
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a year, you're right.

1338
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 3: And uh, it's funny that the depth perception that like

1339
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 3: that backdrop it is, it's and the way the court

1340
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,080
Speaker 3: is raised and all that stuff, it's it's weird.

1341
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's all foreign. It's different.

1342
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember they talked like that, you know, Jay

1343
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 3: was Jay Wright was telling me the story about when

1344
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 3: they had the game, they played a game on the

1345
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 3: aircraft carrier and it.

1346
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 4: Was remember that it was a big game. I think

1347
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 4: it was Buddy Heel they played.

1348
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 3: It was Oklahoma, and then they wound up beat Oklahoma

1349
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 3: later that year, but it was like the kickoff the

1350
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 3: season and they he said, dude, he goes it was

1351
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 3: hard for us to shoot, like we just we had

1352
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 3: no like our depth was depth, perception, perception was all.

1353
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 3: And then when they got them on a regular court,

1354
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 3: it was it was back. But you know when you

1355
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 3: say and you see that figures right about those stadiums, man,

1356
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 3: it's it's just hard. It changes the way you say

1357
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 3: it and see the rim and thevery there, and as

1358
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 3: much as you shoot, as much as you could practice,

1359
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 3: it's it's hard to It's it's hard to get a

1360
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 3: feel for it unless you're playing there, like for a while.

1361
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Also, I'm trying to figure out who in the hill

1362
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 2: bought the Upper Road tickets to this, like as we

1363
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 2: were walking through yesterday looking at it like they're tiny

1364
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 2: as ants by the time you get halfway up the

1365
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 2: football stadium, right like.

1366
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you can't watch it.

1367
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 2: I don't even And as opposed to so many other sports,

1368
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 2: the variable here becomes, you know, you only had a

1369
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 2: couple of days to buy your tickets, You're gonna have

1370
01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 2: to fly from wherever you were to Arizona, which wasn't

1371
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 2: gonna be cheap. And then what happens even for the

1372
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 2: championship game, Like do you stick around if your team

1373
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: gets eliminated because you bought the whole package? Like, I

1374
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 2: don't know how all that works, because I kept walking

1375
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 2: around the football stadium in general, thinking, Man, if I

1376
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 2: was than the upper deck of all of this, even

1377
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 2: if I was a lifelong do I have Purdue fan?

1378
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if I could, I could get behind

1379
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 2: how tiny the guy? Like there're any bitty down there,

1380
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 2: any bitty, any bitty.

1381
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 3: Because yeah, yeah, I gotta time.

1382
01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 4: I'm with you, like I to be.

1383
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 3: That's not an enjoyable experience, like to watch basketball from

1384
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 3: that far and that far up and out from the court.

1385
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 9: Like if you want to fly down for the experience,

1386
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 9: you know, the players and coaches are around, there's basketball

1387
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:34,040
Speaker 9: dignitaries left and right, and then go catch the game

1388
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 9: at a bar or something. Sure, but I don't know

1389
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 9: why you want to buy a ticket to be way

1390
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:38,920
Speaker 9: way up at the top of the rafters or you

1391
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 9: can't even see anything. I mean, the the idea of like,

1392
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 9: well I was in the building. It was like, yeah,

1393
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,080
Speaker 9: but you didn't. I had a better sight for my

1394
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 9: couch than you did.

1395
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 2: I would much rather be at a watch party at

1396
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:52,360
Speaker 2: the home arena, Like I'd rather go to like Produce Arena,

1397
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 2: you know, or Alabama's arena. Yeah, with everybody. That would

1398
01:06:56,080 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: be a cool experience. But like, man, I was just

1399
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 2: walking around this thing, and I'm just I'm genuinely curious

1400
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 2: to see how it fills up. Because you've got a

1401
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,600
Speaker 2: bunch of first time programs, but like or long time programs,

1402
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 2: I should say that haven't been there in a long time. Man,

1403
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 2: I just are are fifty sixty thousand people going to

1404
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 2: show up? Because that thing it looks like it could

1405
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 2: be scary empty if it's not well filled.

1406
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:23,960
Speaker 3: I know, yeah, it's bizarre, man, I know, I completely agree. Listen,

1407
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 3: like football, at least you see the play developing, you know,

1408
01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 3: like when you're you could make the argument for it.

1409
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 3: It's hard to sit way nosebleed nowadays when you have

1410
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 3: the viewing experience at home is so much better.

1411
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 9: Right well far, especially in basketball, depending on where you're sitting,

1412
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 9: I mean, your view could be obstructed by the basket

1413
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 9: or the stanchion. So there's that element to throw in

1414
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 9: there too. At least in football you can at least

1415
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 9: see the field. Yeah, you have like your own personal

1416
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 9: all twenty two if you want to call it that exactly,

1417
01:07:58,680 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 9: you know, exact exactly.

1418
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 2: I do love that part of watching football games in person,

1419
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 2: Like when you're sitting up in the media area for example,

1420
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 2: where I know we've sat, you know, lucky to be

1421
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 2: in a lot of different stadiums. You see who's open

1422
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 2: so clearly from there. It is just an interesting difference

1423
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 2: the same like you can see plays developing as they

1424
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 2: break out of their own zone. And hockey so well,

1425
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: if you're sitting a little higher up, like you can

1426
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 2: really genuinely see, you know, the odd man rush coming

1427
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 2: before it actually happens. I love that element of it.

1428
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 2: I don't know that you get the same natural sense

1429
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 2: of a difference in basketball the same way. It's just

1430
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 2: you know, the way the game is, the way the

1431
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 2: game is presented. I genuinely think the NBA and college

1432
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 2: basketball are as a viewing product better on TV than

1433
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 2: in person. But the viewing experience being you know, in

1434
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,720
Speaker 2: some of these great crowds and like you know, fanatical

1435
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 2: stadiums or arenas, I should say for college basketball, like

1436
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 2: that stands out to me. If you don't have that,

1437
01:08:57,360 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 2: which they're not going to have in Phoenix, I'd rather

1438
01:08:59,120 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 2: watch on TV.

1439
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. All Right, fellas, do me a favorite

1440
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 3: fig it us with some trending and then I'm going

1441
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 3: to give you some of the over unders and we'll

1442
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,200
Speaker 3: take a look at really just the matchup between Edy

1443
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 3: and Burns.

1444
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 9: All right, well we'll start. We know, we have the

1445
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 9: men's Final four, as we've been talking about. That's gonna

1446
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,960
Speaker 9: tip off today at six pm Eastern time. We had

1447
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,960
Speaker 9: the ladies Final Four on Friday night and Caitlin Clark

1448
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 9: did score twenty one points with nine rebounds and seven

1449
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 9: assists to lead Iowa over yukon the final score seventy

1450
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 9: one to sixty nine. Second straight trip to the National

1451
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 9: Championship game for Iowa. Earlier in the night, South Carolina

1452
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 9: improved to thirty seven, and Oh they Can picked up

1453
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 9: a convincing victory over n C State seventy eight to

1454
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 9: fifty nine. And the NBA the Sun's got twenty two

1455
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 9: points from Kevin Durant. They defeated Minnesota ninety seven to

1456
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 9: eighty seven, Clippers all over Utah one thirty one to

1457
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 9: one oh two, Dallas defeating Golden State one away to

1458
01:09:55,920 --> 01:09:58,679
Speaker 9: one oh six despite not having Luka Dacik in the lineup.

1459
01:09:58,840 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 8: He missed the game.

1460
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 9: What they saw in Milwaukee fifteen and sixteen record under

1461
01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 9: Doc Rivers. They suffer a one seventeen to one eleven

1462
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 9: home loss to Toronto. Wins from Miami, Indiana, and Boston

1463
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 9: as well. In the NFL, the Panthers signed Pro Bowl

1464
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:15,440
Speaker 9: defensive tackle Derek Brown to a four year, ninety six million.

1465
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:16,600
Speaker 8: Dollar contract extension.

1466
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 3: Back to the fellas, All right, that's us fellas from

1467
01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 3: the tire rack dot Com studios. Hey, all right, let

1468
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 3: me throw this at you guys. So I got these

1469
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 3: numbers and they're really kind of interesting. So for Burns's points,

1470
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 3: fourteen and a half, do you go over or under

1471
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:47,679
Speaker 3: fourteen and a half? Can can dj Burns school? Because

1472
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 3: I kind of lean under there.

1473
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 2: I feel like he's gonna have to be fed so

1474
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 2: much though, right, Like fourteen and a half feels like

1475
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,680
Speaker 2: a low number to me? Does that not figure? Does

1476
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 2: that not feel low to you to.

1477
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 8: A certain degree? Well, you know, as good as he's

1478
01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 8: been in the tournament.

1479
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:03,920
Speaker 9: I feel like there's been a couple of games where

1480
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 9: he scored in single digits. If I go back, like

1481
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 9: the Marquette game, I don't think he did a whole lot.

1482
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 9: So I certainly can see it now. Yes, I do

1483
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 9: think he's gonna get a lot of touches, but I

1484
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 9: can also see him just getting swallowed up and almost

1485
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 9: not even shooting. If Zach Edy's just hovering over him

1486
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 9: and trying to pass out, you know, and try to

1487
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 9: find open guys on the perimeter.

1488
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 8: So that's a tough one. I you know, I might

1489
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 8: actually take the under on that.

1490
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 3: It's funny because it's shaded to the under fourteen and

1491
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 3: a half. Yeah, if you want it over, it's plus

1492
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,880
Speaker 3: money or it's even money, and you have to lay

1493
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 3: one thirty for the under. So people are betting the under,

1494
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 3: which is interesting. Let me give you eighty. Well, I'll

1495
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 3: fits he take a guess. What do you think Zach

1496
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 3: Edy's total point number is?

1497
01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:55,519
Speaker 2: Oh, it's got to be high, right, like twenty six?

1498
01:11:56,280 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 3: Ah, dude, spot on twenty six and half.

1499
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 4: I mean, spot on, dude.

1500
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,799
Speaker 2: That's how you know I've been dabbling too much. Lately.

1501
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: Good lord.

1502
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've already hammered the over on that. Like I

1503
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 2: just I think that this is one of those break

1504
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 2: the will and go after especially, like I said, knowing that,

1505
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 2: I think they're going to be attacking to try and

1506
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 2: see what they can do in the lane, to try

1507
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:24,799
Speaker 2: and get guys to over commit and have some stupid

1508
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 2: fouls for a team that can't really afford them. Yeah,

1509
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,840
Speaker 2: I could see Edie just collaborate. It feels if this

1510
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 2: to me, feels like Eadie's in the mid thirties in

1511
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 2: this game.

1512
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.

1513
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 3: I agree.

1514
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 8: I'm looking like I had a thirty five twenty two

1515
01:12:36,800 --> 01:12:37,680
Speaker 8: rebounds sort of night.

1516
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 3: Dude. I it was funny. I was thinking the same thing.

1517
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 3: I think he can get a thirty twenty night. Yeah,

1518
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 3: and even his rebounds, Yeah, what's the surrender on that,

1519
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:51,880
Speaker 3: Dude's That's the interesting one for me is this thirteen

1520
01:12:51,920 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 3: and a half.

1521
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 8: I'm taking the over.

1522
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: That's a high number, but yeah, I think I.

1523
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 4: Take thirteen and a half.

1524
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 3: Now, you got to lay had talked about earlier. I have.

1525
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 4: I have the rejuice.

1526
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 2: It's going to be down, like shooting percentages down because

1527
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 2: we're in the stadium, like the angle is going to

1528
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,160
Speaker 2: be weird. So now I got the you know, the

1529
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 2: toll ganngly guy out there trying to get all them boards.

1530
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 2: I got. Yeah, I like his juice.

1531
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 3: He gonna lay one sixty six, So heavy juice on

1532
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 3: the over and everybody's pounding the over rebounds.

1533
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 4: I agree, I'm with you.

1534
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 3: Interesting. Conversely, take a guess what DJ Burns' rebound total is.

1535
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:32,679
Speaker 2: Nine.

1536
01:13:33,840 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 3: I would have said like six, four and a half. Yeah,

1537
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't think he's a big rebounder. No, four and

1538
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 3: a half. And in fact, you if you take the over,

1539
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 3: it's plus one twenty.

1540
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 4: Four and a half. Isn't that wid?

1541
01:13:50,720 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1542
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 9: So I mean, look, yeah, if you look at his

1543
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 9: his totals during the tournament round one one rebound second

1544
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 9: round against Oakland, he had eleven, and I guess Marquette

1545
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 9: four last week against Duke four. It's not big on

1546
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 9: the boards. First of all, he doesn't jump very high

1547
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 9: off the ground, so he can slide, you know, a

1548
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:12,879
Speaker 9: sliver of paper under his feet, whether he's shooting, rebounding

1549
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,280
Speaker 9: or otherwise. So wow, right, yeah, so he does he

1550
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 9: just he's not a big rebound guy.

1551
01:14:19,040 --> 01:14:22,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, pretty wild all right, let's take a quick

1552
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 3: tl we'll come right back where the fellas hang him

1553
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 3: out on a five to four Saturday right here on

1554
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio. All right, welcome back fellas from the

1555
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 3: ti iraq dot com studios. So we were kind of

1556
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 3: diving into the match up a little bit and looking

1557
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 3: at Purdue's He's thaid because it's such an interesting, you know,

1558
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 3: match up. I don't think Alabama can stay with Ukon.

1559
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,320
Speaker 3: But we'll get to it at in a second. But

1560
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 3: how do you fan the Eaty? Right? So people think, well,

1561
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 3: you know, it's a straight up matchup with Burns, but

1562
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:11,640
Speaker 3: you gotta believe that they're gonna double Eadie with Diara.

1563
01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:17,440
Speaker 3: And if they double, let me throwze at you, Fitzie.

1564
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:21,559
Speaker 3: If you got Dara who's six ' ten and you

1565
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:27,600
Speaker 3: double him with Burns and Diara does that? Does he

1566
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:28,839
Speaker 3: not score in the thirties?

1567
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:29,280
Speaker 2: Now? Like?

1568
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 5: Is he?

1569
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:31,200
Speaker 4: Is he going to get his looks?

1570
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 3: Is? You know, if you're gonna double Eatie like that,

1571
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 3: what's what's the offshoot of the double?

1572
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 2: I think the problem with that is that the guys

1573
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 2: on the outside of shot better than we thought. So

1574
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 2: that that's step number one on it for Purdue. But

1575
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:45,800
Speaker 2: the other side of is it, Like, as much as

1576
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 2: I love the concept of Mo coming in and being

1577
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 2: able to double and being a help there, he just

1578
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 2: seems so much it frail is the wrong word for

1579
01:15:55,360 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 2: the body is so much smaller. He's just he's tall,

1580
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 2: but he's just skinny. He's scrawny. And you know, I'm

1581
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,519
Speaker 2: not saying Zach Edie is Zion, right, but Zach's got

1582
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:10,360
Speaker 2: much more width to him.

1583
01:16:10,920 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 4: He's thick.

1584
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, no, he's a massive I mean the

1585
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 3: thing about Edie is he's just a massive you know.

1586
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:24,879
Speaker 3: And he's proportioned right, So he's this massive, hulking figure

1587
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 3: that like I agreed, I don't know how I don't

1588
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:32,880
Speaker 3: know how effective you know that look is going to be.

1589
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 3: And then you are also completely vulnerable to on the

1590
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 3: whims of Purdue. Now you know you have the stadium thing,

1591
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 3: and I mean, quite honestly, I would try to take

1592
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 3: runs and try to double him as much as I

1593
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,919
Speaker 3: could and force the game. And I know that Purdue

1594
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 3: has one like that, but I'd still take my chances

1595
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 3: that way.

1596
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 8: How about you, fake, Yeah, I think you almost have to.

1597
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 9: I mean, I guess it's a pick your poisoned situation,

1598
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,680
Speaker 9: so you can do the leed Zach Eaty, get his

1599
01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 9: and take everybody else away, or make sure Zach does

1600
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 9: nothing and make Fletcher Lawyer and all those guys on

1601
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 9: the perimeter you know, have to knock down shots to

1602
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 9: beat you. Now, based on what we already discussed earlier

1603
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 9: as far as the sidelines, that might be the strategy

1604
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:19,840
Speaker 9: that I go with. I might try to you know,

1605
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 9: double edy as much as I possibly can and force

1606
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 9: those guys to continue to make open shots, because when

1607
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 9: they've struggled at times this year and in the tournament

1608
01:17:27,240 --> 01:17:28,920
Speaker 9: in the past, those guys have just not been able

1609
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 9: to make their open shots.

1610
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 8: So I think that might be the best strategy to

1611
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 8: go with.

1612
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 2: Do you think there's a chance to Purdue conversely just

1613
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,719
Speaker 2: tries to just run NC State like it's not usually

1614
01:17:40,720 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 2: produced out, But do they just try and pace NC

1615
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 2: State out of this game? Because like, once once DJ

1616
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:50,040
Speaker 2: is tired, once DJ can't be any sort of a

1617
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:53,600
Speaker 2: presence against CD, they dominate completely, Right. I just I

1618
01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 2: wonder what that all looks like.

1619
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 9: Well, that's you know, so that's and we've seen Burns

1620
01:17:57,240 --> 01:17:59,599
Speaker 9: get winded at times this year, too, you know. And

1621
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 9: you know, another thing to point out for NC stags,

1622
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 9: Diarra is Muslim and is basically adhering to Ramadan, which

1623
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 9: means he can't eat before sundown. This game is tipping

1624
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 9: off at three o'clock local time, which means this game

1625
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:14,800
Speaker 9: might be over before he can even eat, hydrate, do

1626
01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 9: anything other than get water.

1627
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 2: It will be over before because you know, and by

1628
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 2: the way, I want to think about that, Yeah, he

1629
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 2: didn't have We didn't have the time to do a

1630
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 2: deep dived piece on it. But the Ramadan aspect of

1631
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,160
Speaker 2: this has been really incredible, and I think he played

1632
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 2: so well in the last game. And the last game

1633
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,559
Speaker 2: was also one where he didn't have the opportunity to eat.

1634
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 2: If you watched earlier, I think it was in the

1635
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 2: conference tournament. At one point they stopped the game late

1636
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 2: just to give him like it's almost like a catchup

1637
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,800
Speaker 2: pack that's like a solution that he can suck down

1638
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,880
Speaker 2: as soon as the sun goes down. But to your point,

1639
01:18:47,120 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 2: think he being out here. One thing that really struck me.

1640
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 2: I looked around last night and it was a little

1641
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:55,160
Speaker 2: past seven pm and the sun was still just starting

1642
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 2: to make its way down and my first thought was, man,

1643
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 2: you know tip off times or non negotiable, right, So

1644
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 2: that's just if you're in C State and you make

1645
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 2: it into the championship, you got to wonder what a

1646
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 2: different settle play because that that at least you have

1647
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,559
Speaker 2: a chance at you know, a later tip off means

1648
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 2: a later chance of that. But from he's not going

1649
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 2: to be able to have any food at all during

1650
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 2: the game.

1651
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I got sunned down today at six fifty three pm,

1652
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:19,960
Speaker 9: so that game is going to be well over.

1653
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:23,440
Speaker 8: By then for a three h nine tip. Yeah, that's

1654
01:19:23,960 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 8: that's rough.

1655
01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,240
Speaker 9: That's rough sled and so on top of DJ burns,

1656
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 9: you know, potentially running out of gas, you have to

1657
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 9: worry about that with Dara as well. The energy aspect

1658
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 9: of it having a banged bodies with DJ or excuse me,

1659
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 9: banged bodies with Zach Edie all that time, that that's

1660
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 9: gonna wear on them.

1661
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:41,320
Speaker 8: They already have that working on top.

1662
01:19:41,200 --> 01:19:44,320
Speaker 3: Of its interesting, you're right, and it's an interesting strategy

1663
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:47,280
Speaker 3: that fifty is just brought up, which is like, do

1664
01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 3: you pay them?

1665
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:50,960
Speaker 2: That's what I would do, you have to I would

1666
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,760
Speaker 2: run after him all day?

1667
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I I now that makes a lot of sense.

1668
01:19:57,280 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 3: And by the way, the last thing you want anyway

1669
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 3: is it to be a slog, because if it's a slog,

1670
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 3: that's NC State's game.

1671
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 8: Although Produce certainly can play that style as well.

1672
01:20:09,840 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 3: So all right, uh, the guy we're coming up next

1673

1716
01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 2: she's like she could literally throw up from running after

1717
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 2: the ball. She takes about ten minutes and then she

1718

01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 9: It's almost like you never go to like a used

1724
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 9: car lot and you see like the blow up doll

1725
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:43,559
Speaker 9: thing that's like flapping in the wind.

1726
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:44,679
Speaker 3: That's fits.

1727
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 9: That fits anytime, a tomb that's actually brilliant. That's what

1728
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 9: Fat's what fits.

1729
01:22:48,960 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 2: Is swiggle It more like we will wobble and don't

01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 2: fall down, Like, yes.

1731
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we told that the Wiggles a couple of weeks ago.

1732
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 8: We did bring up the Wiggles.

1733
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, on this very same subject matter, I believe, yeah,

1734
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:04,400
Speaker 2: trying to see where we were on Wigglegate, Like.

1735
01:23:05,600 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 3: Listen, I think we need a Wiggle update every week.

1736
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 3: I feel you. But it got me thicked because I

1737
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 3: forgot about the Wiggles and now I remembered about the Wiggles.

1738
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 3: The Troop, Oh my god, and I remember how much

1739
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 3: I hated the Troop.

1740
01:23:26,200 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 4: The Wiggles.

1741
01:23:27,640 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 2: Look, I don't I think everybody can acknowledge that the

1742
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 2: Wiggles were just hot garbage. But I also think there's

1743
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 2: got to be this moment where I don't know what's

1744
01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 2: worse if you have to look at everybody and tell

1745
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 2: them you were in the Wiggles, or if you had

1746
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 2: to look at them and say I was in the Wiggles.

1747
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 2: You know, a touring troop. It's just a touring. Hey,

1748
01:23:48,840 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 2: you can't call the Wiggles a band. You can't call

1749
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:52,759
Speaker 2: that a show. It's true.

1750
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 9: I'm fortunate enough to say that, like, because the Wiggles

1751
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 9: when they were popular, was a ride around the time

1752
01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 9: that I was a kid, but it was just now

1753
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 9: he in my my scope, it was it never we

1754
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 9: never crossed paths. By the time I found out about

1755
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 9: the Wiggles, I was I had already grown out of it.

1756
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,520
Speaker 9: That potential age range.

1757
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 4: Man, that was key. That could have had the lasting impact.

1758
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 14: On your on your life definitely and your social holding,

1759
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 14: your social deg because they were you know again that's

1760
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 14: they were kind of a creepy yes, yeh true, you know.

1761
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 4: High creep factor. And now we get in.

1762
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,439
Speaker 2: To go there for daycare for the day for like

1763
01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 2: they were the babysitters. I done looked at all the

1764
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:37,080
Speaker 2: Wiggles for about ten seconds, and I said, oh, hell no.

1765
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 8: I'll take you with me.

1766
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 3: I'm out that.

1767
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, you're not finding a putting a covert plan to

1768
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:46,639
Speaker 9: get the hell up out of there?

1769
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, and especially now that we know the

1770
01:24:52,000 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 3: high creep factor that was Nickelodeon.

1771
01:24:54,720 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 9: Oh god, I haven't even seen that document I don't

1772
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 9: even know if I want to, but enough details like

1773
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 9: to hear about is like cheese, dude.

1774
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,000
Speaker 4: I watched that one video of.

1775
01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:10,679
Speaker 3: Diddy and when he had made his appearance on there,

1776
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 3: and and I was like, you know what, man, I'm

1777
01:25:13,880 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 3: out on this documentary. That's one area that I just had.

1778
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:22,479
Speaker 3: I don't want to go anywhere near all, right, Like

1779
01:25:22,680 --> 01:25:25,759
Speaker 3: I like it gets you talk.

1780
01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 9: About angry, depressing every negative emotion you can think, like.

1781
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't need to have that. Like I love television,

1782
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,200
Speaker 3: right and like the way television is now and it

1783
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 3: brings you and you talk about it. You just said

1784
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 3: it elicit emotion. I don't want that. I don't want

1785
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 3: to go there. I don't want to be in that place.

1786
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,080
Speaker 3: I want to be in constant you know. First of all,

1787
01:25:50,080 --> 01:25:52,799
Speaker 3: I want to be in fitzi Land right where. Fitzy

1788
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 3: Land's a good places like.

1789
01:25:55,680 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 2: Fun, you're not wrong, Like and look, I was having

1790
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 2: this debate with a buddy the other day that was

1791
01:26:02,439 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: talking about how the amount of information available to us

1792
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 2: is better than ever and it lets us be more

1793
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 2: informed than ever and all these things. And I know

1794
01:26:09,479 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 2: this is a naive statement to make, but I just

1795
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 2: I said, I was like, does that really make life better?

1796
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 3: Like it can?

1797
01:26:15,880 --> 01:26:18,439
Speaker 2: It's not like a conspiracy theory, but like for all

1798
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 2: the conspiracy theorists out there that think the government's been

1799
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:24,799
Speaker 2: lying to us for fifty years about everything, Like Okay,

1800
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 2: I mean, but maybe life was a lot simpler when

1801
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 2: we didn't have to know every intricate detail of every

1802
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 2: single thing, and you didn't have to pretend you were

1803
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 2: an expert on every global policy about every single thing,

1804
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 2: and you didn't have to pretend that you knew this

1805
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 2: or that about global warming or vaccines or any of

1806
01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 2: this stuff. Like you just like there's something to be

1807
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 2: wilflling ignorant that I'm gonna be honest, like I kind

1808
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:49,480
Speaker 2: of wish we had sometimes like well as form sometimes.

1809
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,000
Speaker 3: Dude, you spot on because it adds to the simplicity

1810
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 3: of life. Yeah, Like sometimes the simplicity life is healthy

1811
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:02,640
Speaker 3: and it's good for you. This surround allows you just

1812
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,559
Speaker 3: to kind of, you know, existed in a different kind

1813
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 3: of sort of way.

1814
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 4: I dude, I think you're spot of all, even.

1815
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 2: With sports heartbreak, Like I think back to the most

1816
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 2: heartbreaking moment of my sports life, well the two of them.

1817
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 2: Of the most heartbreaking moments of my sports life were

1818
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:22,800
Speaker 2: the heart rule and then un l Be losing to

1819
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 2: Duke when I was a kid in the Final four.

1820
01:27:25,439 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 2: In today's world, those moments would have been attached to

1821
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 2: who's fixing what, who's trying to stop what, and who's

1822
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 2: like who's got it out for this person? And why

1823
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,719
Speaker 2: was this like all these different layers, Like it's already

1824
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 2: tough enough when you go through this stuff with the

1825
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 2: simplicity of like man, it really sucks at my face,

1826
01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 2: Like yeah, but like then when you were you just

1827
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,360
Speaker 2: try to attach all of these other things to it

1828
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 2: that make it even deeper than that. Like if you

1829
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 2: get to the point where you really genuinely believe, I

1830
01:27:54,240 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 2: would ask everybody listening if you genuinely believe, for example,

1831
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 2: that last night the NCAA decided they wanted Caitlin Clark

1832
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,320
Speaker 2: to be in the NCAA final for the women's tournament.

1833
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 2: My question to you is why do you ever watch sports?

1834
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,439
Speaker 2: Because if you believe that, then you don't believe any

1835
01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 2: of it's real. And if it's none of it's real,

1836
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 2: then what the hell is the point? Why are we

1837
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 2: wasting our time even investing in watching any of these sports?

1838
01:28:17,479 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 2: If all of a sudden, it's well, the gamblings fix this,

1839
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 2: and the leagues and physics and the ratings have fixed that. Like,

1840
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 2: if it's all fixed, why are we watching?

1841
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 3: I just dude, I swear to god, I had the

1842
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 3: same feeling about this, and I would I would to

1843
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 3: bring a full circle.

1844
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:35,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw it at you, right.

1845
01:28:36,200 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 3: So, WrestleMania is in Philadelphia, and uh, I mean I

1846
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 3: respect it.

1847
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 4: If I told you like, I respect it, I you.

1848
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 3: Know, I think it's an amazing to get all these

1849
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 3: people and all the characters and the whole thing. And

1850
01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:01,040
Speaker 3: I'm a story guy, so I you know, I certainly

1851
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:04,720
Speaker 3: appreciate the whole thing and the whole.

1852
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:05,160
Speaker 4: World of it.

1853
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:09,800
Speaker 3: I was never a wrestling fan growing up, and it

1854
01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 3: was strictly because it's orchestrated, like yeah, I mean it's cool,

1855
01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:17,640
Speaker 3: it's fun or whatever you want to, you know, but

1856
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 3: I was never a hardcore wrestling guy because a pro

1857
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:27,160
Speaker 3: wrestling because it just was like it wasn't real. So

1858
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 3: why would I invest in something that is orchestrated and

1859
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 3: not real.

1860
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:36,640
Speaker 9: Well, I kind of put wrestling in a category of

1861
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 9: more like theater or even dance, because as a professional wrestler,

1862
01:29:41,320 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 9: you're not actually quote unquote fighting your opponent. You're working

1863
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:47,080
Speaker 9: with them to put on a show. So if I

1864
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 9: view it from that lens, you know, I can like

1865
01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 9: remember great matches when I was a kid. I'm not

1866
01:29:51,880 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 9: into it now, I've been out for about fifteen twenty

1867
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:58,120
Speaker 9: years now, But you know a Lotteyshawn Michaels and Raised

1868
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 9: Ramon are between the hardy boys and Ed and Christian

1869
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 9: and like those working together to fly fifty feet off

1870
01:30:03,520 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 9: the top of a ladder and make sure you land

1871
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 9: in the right place and make sure you fall correctly

1872
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,639
Speaker 9: into the right spot, and you're putting on a show.

1873
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 9: So if I viewed through the sports lands, and yeah,

1874
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 9: it's like what's the point. But if I view a

1875
01:30:13,400 --> 01:30:16,360
Speaker 9: four and F like just a it's a choreographed almost

1876
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,960
Speaker 9: like a dance, that's a masked as a competition you

1877
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 9: see more of like more of an appreciation and a

1878
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 9: beauty for what it is. That's that's kind of how

1879
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:26,960
Speaker 9: I even even as a kid that way, and I

1880
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 9: respect it.

1881
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,120
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not denigrating it at all.

1882
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 3: The only thing is is and I'll say this fifty

1883
01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,240
Speaker 3: and then I'm sorry, you go, I just look at

1884
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 3: it and go, well, it's that athletic. It's movement and

1885
01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,120
Speaker 3: it's funny. You say dance and I completely get it.

1886
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 3: But I still can't wrap my round like competition is

1887
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:50,639
Speaker 3: like we're kind of that's if you're a sports person,

1888
01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 3: it's always wrapped around competition.

1889
01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 4: And that's kind of why I'm out.

1890
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:57,799
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, to use the wrestle Meybia example,

1891
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,759
Speaker 2: by the way, I've always wanted to go. I don't

1892
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 2: really follow wrestling anymore. I have a bunch of friends

1893
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:07,000
Speaker 2: that do watch it religiously. They really enjoy it because

1894
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 2: it's like a weekly action movie. I think it's the

1895
01:31:09,200 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 2: best way to describe it. For me. When I was

1896
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 2: a little kid, that was right in the heart of

1897
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 2: the macho man Haul Coogan, like that era was huge, right,

1898
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 2: So I watched that and then you wake up one

1899
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:23,760
Speaker 2: day and you realize, okay, it is scripted, and it

1900
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 2: lost its interest to me, right, And I don't think

1901
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:28,599
Speaker 2: it's ever really even though it's gone through chapters, it's

1902
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:30,800
Speaker 2: never hit me. Sometimes I love to go back and

1903
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 2: watch the old stuff from the eighties because I'm nostalgic.

1904
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,280
Speaker 2: It reminds me of my childhood. Right, So you know,

1905
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:38,120
Speaker 2: in that sense, I think there's a time and place

1906
01:31:38,160 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 2: for what that is. But I think you're so spot

1907
01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,760
Speaker 2: on when you talk about like what you have to

1908
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:47,280
Speaker 2: acknowledge and where I'll give wrestling fans a ton of

1909
01:31:47,280 --> 01:31:51,320
Speaker 2: credit is they now as opposed to in the eighties

1910
01:31:51,360 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 2: when there were still people that tried to hold on

1911
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,040
Speaker 2: to yes, this is authentic and real and all these

1912
01:31:56,080 --> 01:31:59,639
Speaker 2: other things. Now, wrestling fans understand that it's a weekly

1913
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 2: action movie. They understand that it's written, and they understand

1914
01:32:02,400 --> 01:32:05,080
Speaker 2: that the outcomes are predetermined, and as a result, they

1915
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 2: demand create entertainment out of it, which I respect the

1916
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 2: hell out of I have a hard time figuring out

1917
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 2: why if you're a fan and you genuinely believe that

1918
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:17,560
Speaker 2: the NFL hates the Raiders and they're never going to

1919
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:20,479
Speaker 2: let them win, why why are you a fan anymore?

1920
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 8: Like, that's the.

1921
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 2: Hard because if it is all prescripted, then either buy

1922
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,160
Speaker 2: in and just you know, enjoy all right, if you

1923
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,200
Speaker 2: genuinely believe it's scripted, then you got no lover or

1924
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 2: hated it. It's like watching a movie. Okay, we lost,

1925
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:36,760
Speaker 2: that's what the league had in mind. Let's see what

1926
01:32:36,760 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 2: happens next week on arrest of development, Like that's what

1927
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 2: that becomes. And if you believe that it's so overtaken

1928
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 2: with gambling and with ratings and with script driving, then

1929
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:52,439
Speaker 2: just stop watching. And if you don't believe that, then

1930
01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:54,439
Speaker 2: then you have to believe, in my mind, at your

1931
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,240
Speaker 2: core that the league would have it absolutely out for

1932
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 2: anybody that was a part of fixing an outcome for

1933
01:32:59,240 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 2: any reason. So, like, I don't really think there's a

1934
01:33:01,560 --> 01:33:04,280
Speaker 2: middle ground on this either. The leagues are all very

1935
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 2: protective of their sport and they are truly believing that

1936
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:10,320
Speaker 2: everything is being done to protect the integrity, in which

1937
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:11,960
Speaker 2: case you should root for your team and love every

1938
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,639
Speaker 2: second of it and acknowledge sometimes bad moments and bad

1939
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:17,280
Speaker 2: plays happen, or leagues have it out for you. And

1940
01:33:17,320 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 2: if they have it out for you, then just treat

1941
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:21,160
Speaker 2: it like The Fast and the Furious nine. If it's

1942
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,280
Speaker 2: any good great, and if it's not, oh well you

1943
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 2: blew twenty bucks and move on with your day.

1944
01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:33,160
Speaker 3: Dude, you're spot on, I mean spot on. You're so right.

1945
01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:40,080
Speaker 3: It's what the idea of the competition is why we

1946
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,599
Speaker 3: love sports like we love the game. I was thinking

1947
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 3: about this myself, like I was explaining this. I think

1948
01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:50,519
Speaker 3: I was throwing one of my kids and like, how

1949
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 3: much I'd love really football, basketball, baseball, and hockey, right,

1950
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 3: and I've grown to like really like soccer. But these

1951
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:04,160
Speaker 3: sports like they're so unique, right, and the beauty of

1952
01:34:04,200 --> 01:34:08,280
Speaker 3: each of these games and when they're played and it's

1953
01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:12,120
Speaker 3: it's not you know, it's it's not a live action

1954
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:14,720
Speaker 3: movie like you said, which is a great you know,

1955
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 3: I never heard it like that, but it's spot on.

1956
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,559
Speaker 3: It's a live action movie is wrestling and I and

1957
01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 3: I go, oh, it's cool, but like it's it was

1958
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 3: never my cup of tea only because it wasn't real

1959
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:35,000
Speaker 3: and the real athleticism and the end competition matters, And

1960
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:37,759
Speaker 3: that to me is why you watch the thing that's

1961
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:41,640
Speaker 3: at its core. So if there's any sort of orchestra like,

1962
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 3: if it's orchestrated, I'm.

1963
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:46,840
Speaker 9: Out, Yeah, it's And this is obviously just an isolated

1964
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,120
Speaker 9: situation at least to a certain degree. But one thing

1965
01:34:49,200 --> 01:34:53,160
Speaker 9: that unfortunately aids in the conspiracy theorist star process is

1966
01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 9: not that it's predetermined, but the people who are supposed

1967
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 9: to be policing or the arbiters of the sport are

1968
01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:02,799
Speaker 9: influencing games. And I'm thinking of someone like Tim Donahey

1969
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:05,200
Speaker 9: and the idea that he was a rogue official with

1970
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:07,519
Speaker 9: the NBA and what calls that he was and wasn't

1971
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 9: making influencing the end of games. No, it wasn't predetermined,

1972
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 9: but someone who was supposed to be objective and making

1973
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 9: the right calls at the right time is actually influencing

1974
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 9: how games are being played and what the finishes are

1975
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:19,400
Speaker 9: and so not.

1976
01:35:19,920 --> 01:35:22,479
Speaker 8: Obviously, I don't think that it's widespread.

1977
01:35:22,439 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 2: But to jail like I and you know, Roger Goodell

1978
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,400
Speaker 2: admitted that twenty five he thought, by best guess, he

1979
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:31,720
Speaker 2: admitted at his press reference at the Super Bowl, there

1980
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 2: have been about twenty five employees of the NFLD. He

1981
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 2: didn't clarify whether that was employees or referees or teams

1982
01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,680
Speaker 2: or whatever. Twenty five or so instances of punishment for

1983
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:44,800
Speaker 2: gambling issues that they've had, and he admitted that. And

1984
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:46,800
Speaker 2: I would say to everybody, the fact that they find

1985
01:35:46,840 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 2: those is pure example that the system is working. Every

1986
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 2: time they find out that somebody try and cook the

1987
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:55,280
Speaker 2: books on something and try and you fix the game

1988
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 2: in college baseball, like we had the big controversy, that

1989
01:35:57,760 --> 01:36:00,640
Speaker 2: tells you the systems working. Like there has to be

1990
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:04,280
Speaker 2: some belief that man, dude, like we think a rogue

1991
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 2: official last night, wanted to be the story. I don't

1992
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,800
Speaker 2: believe that we think that the league wanted Caitlin in

1993
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 2: the final. They probably wanted that, But do I believe

1994
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,519
Speaker 2: that they impacted that and made that happen. No, of

1995
01:36:14,560 --> 01:36:17,679
Speaker 2: course not. If it gets to that level where outcomes

1996
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,959
Speaker 2: can be fixed for ratings, then there's no hope anymore.

1997
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 2: There's just there's no like at that point, there's there's

1998
01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:27,639
Speaker 2: it's just pure storytelling, and there's no point in spending

1999
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 2: a dime or listening to what we do because we'd

2000
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 2: all be just analyzing a script and nobody wants to

2001
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 2: listen to four hours of live talk radio where we're

2002
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 2: just analyzing the new Ghostbusters movie script like, that's that's

2003
01:36:39,200 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 2: there'd be no difference between the new Ghostbusters.

2004
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:46,480
Speaker 4: Too late, not too Yeah.

2005
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 2: The love interest need to be there.

2006
01:36:47,960 --> 01:36:49,280
Speaker 8: By the way, I was entertained.

2007
01:36:49,680 --> 01:36:52,320
Speaker 9: John Stylesel some years ago was interviewing a wrestler and

2008
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,320
Speaker 9: told him, like, wrestling's fake, right, and the wrestlers slapped

2009
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 9: him in the face said, does that fake?

2010
01:36:57,080 --> 01:37:02,000
Speaker 8: I think he actually broke his nose, his nose, but

2011
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:05,000
Speaker 8: is that fake? You think that's fake?

2012
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 2: John?

2013
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,560
Speaker 9: Anytime the subject of wrestling being fake, Oh, that's I

2014
01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 9: always remember that one.

2015
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, the guys you used to get mad. They they

2016
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 3: would get mad, like what do you mean?

2017
01:37:20,479 --> 01:37:23,840
Speaker 9: Oh my god, it's like the results are predetermined. It's

2018
01:37:23,880 --> 01:37:26,280
Speaker 9: really hard to fake falling fifty feet off to the

2019
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:27,479
Speaker 9: steel case through a table.

2020
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:30,320
Speaker 8: You can't fake that. That actually happened. You get that

2021
01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 8: part of it.

2022
01:37:31,000 --> 01:37:34,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's the truth. Man.

2023
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:36,960
Speaker 4: It's too fast to the conversation though.

2024
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 3: But the you know, the gambling piece of it, I

2025
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:42,559
Speaker 3: mean already you know, but.

2026
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,280
Speaker 8: That's going to complicate matters too, right, Oh you.

2027
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, it's bad enough we had to deal with

2028
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:52,839
Speaker 3: the Well, the league wants mahos, right, right, the league

2029
01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 3: wants that and yeah, to Fitzy's point, of course, the

2030
01:37:58,640 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 3: league guy's certain rooti it just but you know, he

2031
01:38:03,400 --> 01:38:06,280
Speaker 3: always would crack me up when I would meet these

2032
01:38:06,320 --> 01:38:11,160
Speaker 3: people and they go, oh, yeah, you're the sports guy

2033
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 3: and you don't know the whole thing's fixed. I'm like, dude,

2034
01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:21,800
Speaker 3: there's no secret society, right that I'm around it all

2035
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 3: the you know, hard it is to get like two

2036
01:38:25,320 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 3: people in the in the world to not you know, talk,

2037
01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 3: let alone scores of people like all right, yeah, like

2038
01:38:34,800 --> 01:38:37,479
Speaker 3: this team is supposed to get up to a twenty

2039
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 3: one and nothing lead and then blow the lead, like

2040
01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:45,680
Speaker 3: all right, that's the script. Well who you know.

2041
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 9: Yeah, this person also thinks that the moon the moon

2042
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 9: landing was done in a TV studio in Studn City.

2043
01:38:54,680 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 9: He's walking across the flat earth and hopes not to

2044
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:58,440
Speaker 9: fall off the edge.

2045
01:38:58,439 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 2: As I always say, like at the end of the day,

2046
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,479
Speaker 2: for me, with conspiracy theories, not a popular opinion here,

2047
01:39:04,479 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 2: but if we didn't land on the Moon and it

2048
01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:09,600
Speaker 2: was all faked, it ain't gonna change my Saturday, and

2049
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:11,680
Speaker 2: not a damn thing I'm gonna do about it. Like

2050
01:39:11,760 --> 01:39:14,320
Speaker 2: so at some point, I just like, for me, that's

2051
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:16,559
Speaker 2: all water off a duck's back, Like all that stuff

2052
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:18,880
Speaker 2: is water off a duck's back, because like, it doesn't

2053
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 2: change my reality. If sports are fixed, having been around

2054
01:39:22,600 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 2: for all of us, having been around them at the

2055
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:27,559
Speaker 2: highest possible level, if sports are fixed, that would impact

2056
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 2: my reality. That would change what I do and how

2057
01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:31,720
Speaker 2: I do every single day, and it.

2058
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 3: Would render my life completely meaningless. It's already meaningless, but

2059
01:39:37,520 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 3: it would be completely meaning that.

2060
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 2: Oh my god, but you like you think that we

2061
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:44,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't want the script early so that we don't waste

2062
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:46,960
Speaker 2: time with bad takes on the bills this year, Like, yeah,

2063
01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 2: let me see how the script plays up before I

2064
01:39:49,280 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 2: put my you know what out there on this on

2065
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:53,600
Speaker 2: this take, Like, oh, we know who's going to be

2066
01:39:53,680 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 2: drafted because the sprint the script is already in. So

2067
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,160
Speaker 2: could you could you help me get a little leg

2068
01:39:58,200 --> 01:40:00,800
Speaker 2: off my face about where Michael Petty Junior is gonna go?

01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:12,799

01:41:31,080 --> 01:41:34,599
Speaker 3: get into as well, Like the Dodgers cheaping out. Man,

2094
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:39,320
Speaker 3: What is that about? All mean? That was completely weak.

2095
01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 2: Lock me in a room and yell at me all

2096
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:43,640
Speaker 2: day long. You ain't getting that ball. I will fight you.

2097
01:41:43,760 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 2: I will fight you all the way through. That is

2098
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 2: my ball. I got my BALLMA take my balla take

2099
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:48,519

2100
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:50,560
Speaker 2: more money than you'll give me for it, Dodgers.

2101
01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:53,599
Speaker 3: Yeah. And the other thing, I gotta be real, Like

2102
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 3: when a player gets a billion dollars, Uh, you know

2103
01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 3: what he needs to compensate, he needs to buy the

2104
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:06,639
Speaker 3: ball back. Yeah. And that and not for bogus hats

2105
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:09,680
Speaker 3: like you gotta you gotta go go write a check like.

2106
01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:10,519
Speaker 4: A billion dollars.

2107
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:14,000
Speaker 3: Like, if it means that much to you, uh, then

2108
01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 3: write the chat. Otherwise, let the fan have it and sell.

2109
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 2: It, especially like I would understand if it was a

2110
01:42:22,720 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 2: record setting you know, this is the you know whatever

2111
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 2: home run of the year of a career that sets

2112
01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:30,920
Speaker 2: a new record. Okay, I understand why at that point

2113
01:42:31,280 --> 01:42:33,639
Speaker 2: you just plead the case with the fan of Hey,

2114
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:35,960
Speaker 2: this would mean a lot to major League Baseball. It's

2115
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:37,400
Speaker 2: gonna go in the Hall of Fame. Can we talk

2116
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:38,000
Speaker 2: you into it?

2117
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:38,320
Speaker 5: Right?

2118
01:42:38,960 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 2: The first the first home run is a Dodger, Like,

2119
01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,080
Speaker 2: that's just that's a momentum like that, that's that's exactly

2120
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 2: some historic thing though that's gonna end like baseball.

2121
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 4: That's not a museum piece.

2122
01:42:50,840 --> 01:42:53,760
Speaker 2: You're right that, Yeah, you want that you buy that

2123
01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:55,639
Speaker 2: spot on man.

2124
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:57,360
Speaker 3: And then like and then all of a sudden, they

2125
01:42:57,400 --> 01:42:59,640
Speaker 3: want to guilt the fan into a hall you know,

2126
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:01,560
Speaker 3: show Hey.

2127
01:43:01,320 --> 01:43:03,879
Speaker 4: You know what, shoe Hey's a billionaire man.

2128
01:43:04,000 --> 01:43:07,760
Speaker 3: All right, I'm struggled to pay my mortgage, right the check,

2129
01:43:07,840 --> 01:43:12,519
Speaker 3: show Hey show me, the Hey can show me they

2130
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:16,880
Speaker 3: I want that curiously, like if that's so, that's a

2131
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 3: great point.

2132
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:20,040
Speaker 2: Like if the if show Hey wants it, he's got

2133
01:43:20,080 --> 01:43:22,160
Speaker 2: to buy it back. If the Dodgers want it, they

2134
01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,240
Speaker 2: got to buy it back and and and buy it

2135
01:43:24,360 --> 01:43:27,320
Speaker 2: back form I mean, like for me, if I had

2136
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 2: something of that value, I would be looking at like,

2137
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 2: I don't know, season tickets for five years. All right,

2138
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 2: now we're talking like that. Ain't something substantial season tickets

2139
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 2: for five years. Maybe some food vouchers throw those in there. Otherwise, No,

2140
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:41,160
Speaker 2: it's going up on eBay.

2141
01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:45,439
Speaker 3: I'm with you. Figure you're living it. You're out there.

2142
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:51,080
Speaker 9: I will breface my next statement with this. Uh, it

2143
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,360
Speaker 9: was wrong with the Dodgers did strong arm, and I'm

2144
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 9: separating her from her husband, you know, telling her giving

2145
01:43:57,160 --> 01:44:00,200
Speaker 9: her a couple of bats, not even having them meat shoe,

2146
01:44:00,720 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 9: which has often happened in the past in these situations.

2147
01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:06,360
Speaker 9: You meet, you take a photo, they have subsequently apologized

2148
01:44:06,400 --> 01:44:09,280
Speaker 9: for it because they got such public backlash. As far

2149
01:44:09,400 --> 01:44:13,360
Speaker 9: as you know the ball and not authenticating it in

2150
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 9: that old situation, this is generally how major League baseball works.

2151
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:20,560
Speaker 9: There's an article in Newsweek they wrote about this yesterday.

2152
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 9: There's been multiple occasions where this has happened with home

2153
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 9: run balls and fans catch a ball, team officials go

2154
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 9: up to them and say, can we have the ball back?

2155
01:44:29,200 --> 01:44:30,320
Speaker 8: We'll give you a couple of things.

2156
01:44:30,360 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 9: The fan says no, and the team official or the

2157
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 9: Major League Baseball authenticator says, we are not going to

2158
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:37,519
Speaker 9: authenticate this. Go ahead and keep it, but we're not

2159
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,240
Speaker 9: signing it and we're not authenticating it. So that's on you.

2160
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 9: That's not strictly a Dodger thing. That's a major League

2161
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 9: Baseball thing. That's happened multiple times over again. I say

2162
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,800
Speaker 9: that as to say, also, the Dodgers did mishandle the situation,

2163
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,559
Speaker 9: but the authentication process is not an exclusive Dodger thing.

2164
01:44:53,880 --> 01:44:55,639
Speaker 4: This has happened multiple Listen.

2165
01:44:56,080 --> 01:44:58,680
Speaker 2: But I don't care what standard operating procedure is. The

2166
01:44:58,760 --> 01:45:01,040
Speaker 2: Dodgers have the choice to make their own decision. There

2167
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 2: is nothing collectively bargained in Bajor League Baseball that says

2168
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:05,280
Speaker 2: it has to be done one way or the other.

2169
01:45:05,640 --> 01:45:08,439
Speaker 2: It is their choice in that moment to decide. And

2170
01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 2: just because other teams have made the wrong decision doesn't

2171
01:45:11,400 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 2: mean that that makes the Dodgers less wrong in their decision.

2172
01:45:14,720 --> 01:45:17,280
Speaker 2: If other teams want to be just absolutely awful to

2173
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:20,040
Speaker 2: fans and do the wrong thing, that it's still up

2174
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,320
Speaker 2: to organizations to have the opportunity to rise above. The

2175
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:25,000
Speaker 2: Dodgers got to be better than that.

2176
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 3: Well said, Well said, I'm I think spot on.

2177
01:45:30,960 --> 01:45:35,800
Speaker 4: But here's the thing. Like the fan.

2178
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 3: Is the lowest of wrung on the totem pole, right,

2179
01:45:44,760 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 3: the fan gets completely abused, and I go, this is

2180
01:45:51,960 --> 01:45:55,200
Speaker 3: a perfect opportunity. And I'm talking about the Major League

2181
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:58,640
Speaker 3: Baseball's a policy like when you have this stuff going on,

2182
01:45:59,439 --> 01:46:03,919
Speaker 3: look it's like the uh, it's like Willie Walker's Golden ticket.

2183
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 4: Right, the ball lands where it lands, and you know you.

2184
01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:12,680
Speaker 3: Should authenticate it, like like, wow, that's great. I understand

2185
01:46:12,760 --> 01:46:15,360
Speaker 3: if it's like something epic like and I thought fits

2186
01:46:15,400 --> 01:46:20,040
Speaker 3: he made a great laid it out perfectly. This was bogus, man,

2187
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:23,240
Speaker 3: It was a momento. First one was a Dodger. You

2188
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:24,000
Speaker 3: want the ball.

2189
01:46:24,200 --> 01:46:27,320
Speaker 4: You pay for the ball cash money.

2190
01:46:27,920 --> 01:46:30,920
Speaker 2: I always I think about, like when we were touring

2191
01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,759
Speaker 2: and we used to always say in the music business,

2192
01:46:34,240 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 2: like the only person that's not being paid to be

2193
01:46:37,320 --> 01:46:40,519
Speaker 2: in that room is the fan, and that means they're

2194
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 2: the most important person there. Everybody else, the ushers, the

2195
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:48,599
Speaker 2: security people, the concession people, the ticket takers, the merged people,

2196
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:52,920
Speaker 2: every other person that's in that arena or stadium that

2197
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:56,719
Speaker 2: night is making money. The only person not making money

2198
01:46:57,040 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 2: is the fan. So you, Dann, will better make sure

2199
01:46:59,439 --> 01:47:02,160
Speaker 2: that that one person, the only entity there that's not

2200
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:05,040
Speaker 2: making cash to be there, has such a great experience

2201
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,000
Speaker 2: and it makes it worth it to be there because

2202
01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 2: how many people would go to that, Like, how many

2203
01:47:09,400 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 2: fans would go to a game for free? The answer

2204
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:14,920
Speaker 2: is a ton. How many of those players, front office people, ushers,

2205
01:47:14,960 --> 01:47:17,559
Speaker 2: ticket takers would show up for free not get paid

2206
01:47:17,600 --> 01:47:19,680
Speaker 2: to be there? The answer is none. Right, So, like

2207
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:22,760
Speaker 2: you have to respect to that situation, the people that

2208
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 2: are actually paying the money to be there. And this

2209
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:26,760
Speaker 2: is an easy way to do that, Like it's no

2210
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 2: skin off the Dodgers back to simply have done to

2211
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:32,320
Speaker 2: go above and beyond, and then you take aan a

2212
01:47:32,360 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 2: fan and make them a super fan. You have a

2213
01:47:34,400 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 2: great story of Oh my god, I can't believe they

2214
01:47:36,160 --> 01:47:38,000
Speaker 2: did all these things for me with a home ball

2215
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:40,599
Speaker 2: home run ball. There's so little loss for the Dodgers

2216
01:47:40,600 --> 01:47:43,200
Speaker 2: in that, and such a loss in public perception when

2217
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:43,840
Speaker 2: they don't do it.

2218
01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:46,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, I will say, at least thankfully they they've come

2219
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,200
Speaker 9: out and apologized. They're going to give them all this stuff.

2220
01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:52,080
Speaker 9: They probably should have given them from the beginning. Access

2221
01:47:52,080 --> 01:47:54,919
Speaker 9: to the field next week where they can meet players,

2222
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:57,080
Speaker 9: they can probably meet all Tani. They're giving them field

2223
01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:59,160
Speaker 9: levels seas, they're going to give them the VIP treatment.

2224
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:00,960
Speaker 9: If you were to offer this to them in a

2225
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,479
Speaker 9: nice and friendly way from the beginning, there's a good

2226
01:48:03,560 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 9: chance they probably would have given you the ball.

2227
01:48:05,600 --> 01:48:07,280
Speaker 8: So I don't disagrete with any of that.

2228
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:09,960
Speaker 9: They're doing all of this after the fact, after they

2229
01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 9: were called out and blasted and to a certain degree

2230
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:15,599
Speaker 9: rightfully so by the public for it. So so that yeah,

2231
01:48:15,640 --> 01:48:19,479
Speaker 9: that I agree. Well, the beauty here's the beauty of

2232
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:27,360
Speaker 9: what that story is. The public still matters like ther

2233
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:29,720
Speaker 9: is huge, So it still.

2234
01:48:29,479 --> 01:48:33,599
Speaker 3: Matters like you know, it is as much as there's

2235
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:40,360
Speaker 3: the wealth gap in. It's literally and figuratively. Uh, particularly

2236
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:44,679
Speaker 3: in sports, it still matters. Man, you gotta do right.

2237
01:48:45,200 --> 01:48:48,759
Speaker 3: You got to do right, and I'm glad that it's

2238
01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:49,920
Speaker 3: it kind of turned out that way.

2239
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 9: You get you know, you got to do right by

2240
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:53,040
Speaker 9: the people who are helping pay the bills.

2241
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 8: You know, that's that's your clientele.

2242
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 9: Those people, even more so than the people sitting at home,

2243
01:48:57,479 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 9: the people that spend their hard earned money to buy

2244
01:48:59,320 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 9: season ticket, to pay a gazillion dollars to park in

2245
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 9: five million dollars for a stale hot dog. Those are

2246
01:49:05,200 --> 01:49:08,599
Speaker 9: the ones who are you know, your most diehard dedicated fans.

2247
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:10,760
Speaker 9: Those are the ones you have to keep the happiest.

2248
01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well said.

2249
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 9: And by the way, the hot dogs a Dodger Stadium

2250
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 9: are not stale. I was just making a blanket statement.

2251
01:49:16,200 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 9: I don't want to say that.

2252
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 2: No, they're not. Still, they're just overrated.

2253
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 9: I feel like most ballpark food is overrated. So I

2254
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,120
Speaker 9: won't disagree with that. I won't disagree with that.

2255
01:49:24,200 --> 01:49:27,760
Speaker 3: Yes, well, you're right, most ballpark food is over I

2256
01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 3: tell you, I can't believe them in a minor hear.

2257
01:49:33,479 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 8: With what.

2258
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:37,599
Speaker 4: I like a Dodger dog.

2259
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:38,920
Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, we have talked about this before.

2260
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 3: That's right. I like a Dodger dog. I actually like it.

2261
01:49:42,479 --> 01:49:46,280
Speaker 3: I mean I am impressed by I think it's a

2262
01:49:46,280 --> 01:49:50,880
Speaker 3: better dog than most stadiums.

2263
01:49:51,320 --> 01:49:55,320
Speaker 9: I will say the all beef premium Dodger dog is solid.

2264
01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 9: The regular Dodger dog is not my favorite.

2265
01:49:58,200 --> 01:50:00,760
Speaker 2: It's not for me, I think. I think the only

2266
01:50:00,800 --> 01:50:03,280
Speaker 2: way that I could appropriately judge the Dodger dog at

2267
01:50:03,280 --> 01:50:05,720
Speaker 2: this point would be a blind taste test. So this

2268
01:50:05,880 --> 01:50:07,600
Speaker 2: is like what I always say about people that you

2269
01:50:07,640 --> 01:50:10,320
Speaker 2: know are passionate about things like in and outs or

2270
01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:12,479
Speaker 2: what a burger like. I think if we just took

2271
01:50:12,520 --> 01:50:14,400
Speaker 2: the meat and the bun and like just sort of

2272
01:50:14,479 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 2: like a little piece of it, so you don't have

2273
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 2: the it's square, it's around, you don't have any of

2274
01:50:18,439 --> 01:50:20,719
Speaker 2: those advantages, and you compare most of them. I wonder

2275
01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:23,519
Speaker 2: how many people would actually know. And you know this

2276
01:50:23,560 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 2: is I will give this example. Everybody will tell me

2277
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:29,080
Speaker 2: that they're the exception. But not long ago, I had

2278
01:50:29,080 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 2: friends that were passionate that they knew their favorite beer brand.

2279
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 2: So in the middle of a party, because I'm that guy,

2280
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,799
Speaker 2: I poured little red solo cups of all the different beers,

2281
01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,280
Speaker 2: and they were all convinced that they knew exactly their

2282
01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 2: favorite beer. Not a single one of them got it right. Now,

2283
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:45,800
Speaker 2: every thing going to say, no, I know cores and

2284
01:50:45,840 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 2: they were all like they were all bad beer. You know.

2285
01:50:47,520 --> 01:50:49,640
Speaker 2: It was all like cores of bud light and you know,

2286
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:54,599
Speaker 2: all the usual cheap beer, usual cheap hair. But not

2287
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 2: a single person got them right. So that's just my Like,

2288
01:50:58,360 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 2: I think if we took stadiums and we just cut

2289
01:51:00,840 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 2: like a little piece of the dog and a little

2290
01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:04,800
Speaker 2: piece of the bun, and we had like fifteen different ones,

2291
01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:07,680
Speaker 2: maybe it would taste out better to me because I

2292
01:51:07,720 --> 01:51:10,840
Speaker 2: had such high expectations of a Dodger dog and they

2293
01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:11,280
Speaker 2: weren't met.

2294
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:15,559
Speaker 7: Why are we squabbling over eating a hot dog. It's

2295
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 7: the best thing at the game. Just whatever it is,

2296
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:22,479
Speaker 7: eat the dog, catch up or not. Just eat the dog.

2297
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 7: Let's not squabble over's heart out. Okay, just eat that

Speaker 2: Please.

2304
01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 8: The Chicago dog is a supreme dog that can't be touched.

2305
01:51:48,320 --> 01:51:50,320
Speaker 2: Wait, are we just gonna like gloss over the fact

2306
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:52,920
Speaker 2: that he said it's the best thing, like the dog

2307
01:51:53,000 --> 01:51:55,240
Speaker 2: is not the best of the concessions and any.

2308
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:59,400
Speaker 7: No, it's the idea they were gonna squabble over eating

2309
01:51:59,400 --> 01:51:59,920
Speaker 7: a hot dog?

2310
01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:06,160
Speaker 3: What's in a baseball concession? What's the best item?

2311
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,840
Speaker 2: Ice cream in a little like baseball helmet? Ice cream helmet?

2312
01:52:11,560 --> 01:52:13,160
Speaker 2: Not even close. Ice cream and a helmet. Give me

2313
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 2: any of the flavors ice cream and a helmet.

2314
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:17,559
Speaker 4: So you like the soft the soft ice cream?

2315
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:19,720
Speaker 2: Look, man, there's not an ice cream. I don't like

2316
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 2: you like the ice cream is all you had to say?

2317
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:22,160
Speaker 3: Yes?

2318
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:26,880
Speaker 2: And if you want to get into the deep dive

2319
01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:29,599
Speaker 2: of like what's custard versus? What's ice cream? Versus? What's

2320
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:32,439
Speaker 2: like a frosty versus? Like all of them, all of them,

2321
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 2: I will ingest all of them in alarming amounts. So yeah, I'm.

2322
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:39,880
Speaker 3: All you go. Ice It's fascinating ice cream, Like I

2323
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:43,080
Speaker 3: didn't even come to my mind, Like when you said

2324
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 3: it's not the best thing in the concession, I'm thinking,

2325
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 3: I wonder what he's thinking about.

2326
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:48,880
Speaker 4: Is he thinking like I don't know.

2327
01:52:48,880 --> 01:52:51,240
Speaker 8: Not or something yeah, that's where I was thinking.

2328
01:52:51,280 --> 01:52:53,360
Speaker 4: You know, he was ano ball.

2329
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:56,360
Speaker 2: See I really liked nacho's. The problem is, this is

2330
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:58,759
Speaker 2: the deep dive content I ever really wanted wanted this morning.

2331
01:52:59,040 --> 01:53:02,080
Speaker 2: Probably Like you got a couple options here, Like if

2332
01:53:02,080 --> 01:53:03,960
Speaker 2: you just get the nachos and the cheese on the side,

2333
01:53:04,000 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna be okay. Your chips aren't gonna get soggy.

2334
01:53:06,040 --> 01:53:06,400
Speaker 3: I bought it.

2335
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:08,400
Speaker 2: But if you put any like so many of them

2336
01:53:08,439 --> 01:53:10,400
Speaker 2: now want to put the barbecue chicken on them or whatever,

2337
01:53:10,760 --> 01:53:13,880
Speaker 2: Like almost immediately your hands are just disgusting. Like it

2338
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:15,920
Speaker 2: takes two chips and all of a sudden, I'm like

2339
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:17,880
Speaker 2: a four year old that's eating pudding for the first

2340
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:19,760
Speaker 2: time of my life. It's all over my clothes, it's

2341
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 2: all over my face. I don't know why, and I can't.

2342
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:25,240
Speaker 2: I can't handle that mess. So that's my problem with nachos.

2343
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:28,000
Speaker 9: See why you get the garlic fries and what you

2344
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:29,800
Speaker 9: get your get yourself a fork to eat them with.

2345
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:30,960
Speaker 8: That's that's how that works.

2346
01:53:30,960 --> 01:53:32,840
Speaker 2: If I got to eat my fork with my fries

2347
01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:34,200
Speaker 2: with a fork, I got a problem. They're like, I

2348
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:35,479
Speaker 2: don't want to have to fork my fries.

2349
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:37,280
Speaker 9: I mean generally speaking, I get it, but I mean,

2350
01:53:37,439 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 9: I mean, the garlic fries are hard to beat.

2351
01:53:39,320 --> 01:53:43,160
Speaker 3: Cheese fries are ridiculous. Well, the garlic cheese fries are

2352
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 3: you know, be a little bit much.

2353
01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:46,479
Speaker 9: Oh, by the way, that fits the story about the

2354
01:53:46,520 --> 01:53:48,679
Speaker 9: blind taste test. I don't know where I heard this story,

2355
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:52,000
Speaker 9: but they take a group of some alias and had

2356
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:55,000
Speaker 9: a blind taste test of all these different wines, and

2357
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 9: the ones that they like the best was like two

2358
01:53:57,320 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 9: buck chuck from like some you know, crappyund the corner,

2359
01:54:00,720 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 9: and like the one hundred.

2360
01:54:01,479 --> 01:54:03,000
Speaker 8: And thirty dollars bottle of wine.

2361
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:10,160
Speaker 9: They were just like, mah dead serious, absolutely well trained

2362
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:12,840
Speaker 9: palettes in the world can't tell the difference between a

2363
01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:15,519
Speaker 9: quality wine and something that someone made in their bathtub.

2364
01:54:16,360 --> 01:54:20,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, see, I like I that shocks me. Shocks me

2365
01:54:20,479 --> 01:54:24,599
Speaker 3: because it's funny like when you're every once in a while,

2366
01:54:24,720 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 3: like you get to go eat on somebody else's dime

2367
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:30,840
Speaker 3: and they have like like great tastes, right, and and

2368
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:34,760
Speaker 3: that's the only benefit of being of doing like this

2369
01:54:34,840 --> 01:54:37,400
Speaker 3: kind of job where you're around people with real money

2370
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,000
Speaker 3: and you happen to dine with them every once in

2371
01:54:40,040 --> 01:54:43,720
Speaker 3: a while. So there is a I think there's a

2372
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:47,360
Speaker 3: huge difference, like will you taste like really good wine,

2373
01:54:47,400 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 3: like like I have. My buddy's a big lawyer, right,

2374
01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 3: so when he has he always has like these great wines.

2375
01:54:54,720 --> 01:54:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, like that that's different. That's

2376
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:02,400
Speaker 3: why that shocks, right, because there's such a difference between

2377
01:55:02,440 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 3: a really good wine and you know, and every day,

2378
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 3: you know, Trickaby like it. You know, you know, you

2379
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 3: give me a ten dollar ball of wine, you know

2380
01:55:09,080 --> 01:55:10,080
Speaker 3: I can find a good one.

2381
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:12,920
Speaker 2: I just don't have the wine palette. I wish I did.

2382
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,400
Speaker 2: But even we did a whole album release tour once

2383
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:17,160
Speaker 2: where we went up and down all the wineries and

2384
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 2: like Napa Valley and did all these things where like

2385
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 2: whining and dining radio people and record label exacts and

2386
01:55:23,200 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 2: everyone we went into. They're like, this is our finness whatever.

2387
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:28,240
Speaker 2: And I take like one sip and then just slide

2388
01:55:28,280 --> 01:55:30,240
Speaker 2: the glass over to somebody else. I just don't I

2389
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:30,760
Speaker 2: don't like it.

2390
01:55:30,840 --> 01:55:33,120
Speaker 8: I don't have I don't know wine guy, now, no way,

2391
01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:34,120
Speaker 8: I mean I get.

2392
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:36,120
Speaker 3: It, I hear you. Yeah, I mean, like all that

2393
01:55:36,160 --> 01:55:38,160
Speaker 3: stuff's acquired, right like now you know.

2394
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:40,640
Speaker 2: You could die it all day over wine.

2395
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 3: Like but listen that like that doesn't mean listen, that's

2396
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 3: not surprising, Like like it's weird how your palette changes,

2397
01:55:49,280 --> 01:55:52,040
Speaker 3: and sometimes you may never get it. But like I

2398
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:55,400
Speaker 3: you know, I became a coffee nut over the last

2399
01:55:55,640 --> 01:56:00,160
Speaker 3: probably you know, fifteen years, and I was never as

2400
01:56:00,280 --> 01:56:03,720
Speaker 3: big a coffee person as I am now, and you

2401
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 3: know all that stuff, like you're you're just it's weird.

2402
01:56:06,000 --> 01:56:07,120
Speaker 4: Your palate does change, all right.

2403
01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:09,560
Speaker 6: It sounds like fits palette has not changed since he

2404
01:56:09,640 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 6: was a child, though I was.

2405
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:16,920

Speaker 4: I don't know. I just think it's a great move

2444
01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:24,600
Speaker 4: for the Texans.

2445
01:58:24,880 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 2: It also gives them an adult in the wide receiver

2446
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:30,240
Speaker 2: room that has seen a lot of football, right like,

2447
01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 2: and so you know the fact that they've changed the

2448
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:34,480
Speaker 2: contract over made it to one year deal. I think

2449
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,520
Speaker 2: that's our way of saying, hey, we're willing to go

2450
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:39,280
Speaker 2: in all in on trying this. If it doesn't work,

2451
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:41,800
Speaker 2: then we'll part ways. And if it does, then we

2452
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:43,680
Speaker 2: have one of the best wide receiver rooms in the

2453
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 2: NFL with a quarterback that looks like after one year

2454
01:58:46,520 --> 01:58:49,200
Speaker 2: he can be absolutely elite. And I think we're sort

2455
01:58:49,200 --> 01:58:51,120
Speaker 2: of sleeping a little bit on the fact that right

2456
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:53,000
Speaker 2: now there are cracks in the armor for so many

2457
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:57,480
Speaker 2: teams in the AFC. It really excuses being aggressive for

2458
01:58:57,520 --> 01:59:00,880
Speaker 2: the Texans to me, Like the Bengals, Joe was always hurt,

2459
01:59:00,920 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 2: and you know, the Ravens lost a bunch of players.

2460
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. The Bills now have taken

2461
01:59:05,840 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 2: a step back over the course of this offseason. Even

2462
01:59:08,080 --> 01:59:10,160
Speaker 2: they admit that too. Of we still don't know if

2463
01:59:10,200 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 2: he's the answer with Miami, like you can find a

2464
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:15,000
Speaker 2: fatal flaw question with everybody. So if I'm the text.

2465
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 4: How long is Kansas City going to be up there too?

2466
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:17,240
Speaker 5: You know?

2467
01:59:17,520 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 2: And no lagarious need? Will that impact their defense which

2468
01:59:20,320 --> 01:59:22,880
Speaker 2: really saved them last year. I feel like this was

2469
01:59:22,920 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 2: a smart move. No looking around and be like, hey,

2470
01:59:25,160 --> 01:59:26,760
Speaker 2: we got the money, we can do it. Why not?

2471
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 9: Yeah, And if you're Buffalo, I don't deny that Diggs

2472
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:31,400
Speaker 9: as a solid guy and all that, But just with

2473
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:33,960
Speaker 9: the pot shots and some of the antics, you know,

2474
01:59:34,040 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 9: explicit or not, that's just how desperate were they to

2475
01:59:36,880 --> 01:59:39,520
Speaker 9: get him out of the building knowing that they got

2476
01:59:39,560 --> 01:59:42,960
Speaker 9: no compensation for this year? Are you giving a boy

2477
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:44,520
Speaker 9: for everything? He didn't even get a draft pick for

2478
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,040
Speaker 9: this coming season? And the cap hit, I mean, that

2479
01:59:47,080 --> 01:59:49,040
Speaker 9: tells you how badly they wanted him out of the building.

2480
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:51,280
Speaker 9: Now that speaks volumes to.

2481
01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:54,200
Speaker 2: Me, which Minnesota wanted too. That's two teams that pushed

2482
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:54,840
Speaker 2: him out the door.

2483
01:59:55,520 --> 01:59:58,200
Speaker 9: And now he's all notice now correct and you know

2484
01:59:58,240 --> 02:00:00,200
Speaker 9: he's not getting any younger. He had one one of

2485
02:00:00,200 --> 02:00:03,080
Speaker 9: his h uses. His skills are declining at this point.

2486
02:00:04,160 --> 02:00:08,320
Speaker 3: Now, I know you're right on all right, fellas writer,

2513
02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:50,880
Speaker 4: Kind of scenes.

2514
02:01:50,960 --> 02:01:53,200
Speaker 3: From so far, because you've been all over the place,

2515
02:01:53,240 --> 02:01:56,120
Speaker 3: and you know, it's really cool your first Final four,

2516
02:01:56,120 --> 02:01:58,520
Speaker 3: and I know you're you're like drinking every moment.

2517
02:01:58,280 --> 02:02:02,600
Speaker 2: In Yeah, until I realized one important thing. There's a

2518
02:02:02,680 --> 02:02:05,400
Speaker 2: reason that you know, people look at the weather every day.

2519
02:02:05,760 --> 02:02:07,840
Speaker 2: Might might have spent a little more time on that

2520
02:02:07,840 --> 02:02:10,280
Speaker 2: before I flew out. It's forty seven degrees in the

2521
02:02:10,280 --> 02:02:13,920
Speaker 2: desert right now in Glendale, Arizona. Forty seven forty seven, cousin,

2522
02:02:13,960 --> 02:02:16,200
Speaker 2: I did not anticipate today's high is going to be

2523
02:02:16,400 --> 02:02:19,200
Speaker 2: a ball me sixty eight in the desert like it

2524
02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:22,040
Speaker 2: was eighty six when I landed on Thursday. Now, oh

2525
02:02:22,080 --> 02:02:24,400
Speaker 2: my god, Now all of a sudden, it goes from

2526
02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:27,320
Speaker 2: eighty six to sixty eight, Like this is my reality.

2527
02:02:27,320 --> 02:02:31,480
Speaker 2: But it's beautiful. I will say. You know, different cities

2528
02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:34,360
Speaker 2: do the Super Bowl well, I think, And one thing

2529
02:02:34,400 --> 02:02:37,120
Speaker 2: I heard about Phoenix coming in was that it's very

2530
02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:39,120
Speaker 2: spread out and that can make it difficult. I felt

2531
02:02:39,120 --> 02:02:41,800
Speaker 2: that a little bit yesterday, you know, just because Obviously,

2532
02:02:41,880 --> 02:02:45,480
Speaker 2: everything we're doing around the final fours, it's the football

2533
02:02:45,480 --> 02:02:48,000
Speaker 2: stadium in the area that's walkable to that. But so

2534
02:02:48,120 --> 02:02:50,000
Speaker 2: much of the you know, events and things that are

2535
02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:52,120
Speaker 2: cool that go on are going on, you know in

2536
02:02:52,120 --> 02:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Scottsdale or Phoenix, right and those are thirty forty to

2537
02:02:55,920 --> 02:02:59,040
Speaker 2: fifty minutes away. So a little surprised by that, but

2538
02:02:59,600 --> 02:03:02,920
Speaker 2: ultimately the vibe is just it's so much better than

2539
02:03:02,960 --> 02:03:05,960
Speaker 2: I ever would have imagined. There's a palpable joy. There

2540
02:03:06,000 --> 02:03:07,800
Speaker 2: was a family that was walking by as I was

2541
02:03:07,800 --> 02:03:11,000
Speaker 2: getting into the media entrance at the football stadium yesterday,

2542
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:13,200
Speaker 2: and it had to have been, you know it like

2543
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:16,920
Speaker 2: a great grandfather, grandfather, a dad, a kid, and then

2544
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 2: a little kid. And they were all wearing Purdue matching

2545
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:24,000
Speaker 2: shirts and just watching all of them like walk with

2546
02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:26,520
Speaker 2: with the great grandfather who wasn't He wasn't you know,

2547
02:03:26,560 --> 02:03:30,440
Speaker 2: walking fast obviously, but they were just and every step

2548
02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:32,480
Speaker 2: he took he just kept saying, I can't believe I'm here.

2549
02:03:32,480 --> 02:03:34,400
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm here. And I just that's the

2550
02:03:34,440 --> 02:03:35,640
Speaker 2: thing that I think is really.

2551
02:03:35,440 --> 02:03:37,160
Speaker 4: Special, beautiful man.

2552
02:03:37,680 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 2: So it's families, it's memories, it's what the best of sports.

2553
02:03:40,520 --> 02:03:44,840
Speaker 3: Are, yeah, and and there is there's something about like

2554
02:03:44,920 --> 02:03:46,120
Speaker 3: the college thing.

2555
02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:46,920
Speaker 4: I agree with you.

2556
02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:52,600
Speaker 3: I I love the The Final Four is cool, man.

2557
02:03:52,680 --> 02:03:56,839
Speaker 3: It's it's you know, the Super Bowls like Mecca and

2558
02:03:56,960 --> 02:03:59,160
Speaker 3: you know, it's all about this one game and it's

2559
02:03:59,480 --> 02:04:03,000
Speaker 3: the comp fluents of sports and really entertainment, pop culture.

2560
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:09,040
Speaker 3: And the Final Four still has that kind of basketball thing, right,

2561
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:12,920
Speaker 3: Like do you feel it like there's still that like

2562
02:04:13,080 --> 02:04:16,960
Speaker 3: the rest, Like it's all that light, it's big, and

2563
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:20,920
Speaker 3: it's pop culture and all that stuff, but it's through

2564
02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:22,320
Speaker 3: a basketball slant.

2565
02:04:22,960 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's I don't there's an innocence to the way.

2566
02:04:26,880 --> 02:04:27,200
Speaker 3: All of it.

2567
02:04:27,400 --> 02:04:29,840
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, yes.

2568
02:04:29,560 --> 02:04:32,680
Speaker 2: For twenty four hours, I mean yesterday. The way the

2569
02:04:32,760 --> 02:04:37,200
Speaker 2: day works. On the first day, a team will have

2570
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:40,040
Speaker 2: open they have a media area where the stars are

2571
02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:42,720
Speaker 2: out and the coaches out and you have little seats

2572
02:04:42,720 --> 02:04:43,960
Speaker 2: and you can sit there and try and get a

2573
02:04:44,040 --> 02:04:46,600
Speaker 2: question in. And then they have open locker room and

2574
02:04:46,640 --> 02:04:48,520
Speaker 2: then do that back to back to back for every team,

2575
02:04:48,840 --> 02:04:50,840
Speaker 2: and while each team is on the floor, another team

2576
02:04:50,880 --> 02:04:53,560
Speaker 2: is practicing basically, so you're back to back to back

2577
02:04:53,600 --> 02:04:55,800
Speaker 2: with the opportunity to talk to players from every team

2578
02:04:56,200 --> 02:04:58,560
Speaker 2: and What really surprised me is that while we were

2579
02:04:58,600 --> 02:05:01,120
Speaker 2: talking to them, you know, I was asking about transfer,

2580
02:05:01,160 --> 02:05:03,120
Speaker 2: portal and name, image, likeness in the future of the

2581
02:05:03,160 --> 02:05:07,520
Speaker 2: game to these kids, and they were smart conversations happening.

2582
02:05:07,600 --> 02:05:09,880
Speaker 2: But then you walk out onto the court while they're practicing,

2583
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:13,440
Speaker 2: and it's just fans cheering wildly for their favorite player,

2584
02:05:13,640 --> 02:05:15,880
Speaker 2: and it's just a reminder of what the best of

2585
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:18,400
Speaker 2: college sports are, right like for everyone that says the

2586
02:05:18,400 --> 02:05:22,240
Speaker 2: system's broken and you know it's not relatable, whatever, it

2587
02:05:22,280 --> 02:05:24,800
Speaker 2: certainly was yesterday as you watched fans that were just

2588
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:28,840
Speaker 2: absolutely above and beyond. They were just a static living

2589
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:32,000
Speaker 2: in a different world watching Alabama practice because they were

2590
02:05:32,040 --> 02:05:34,920
Speaker 2: at the Final four. There's a beautiful innocence to the

2591
02:05:34,960 --> 02:05:37,120
Speaker 2: game and to what it still means to so many

2592
02:05:37,120 --> 02:05:39,400
Speaker 2: people when you standing there watching it at this event.

2593
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:45,960
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you verbalize that beautifully because I know

2594
02:05:46,040 --> 02:05:49,280
Speaker 3: that feeling and it's.

2595
02:05:48,760 --> 02:05:52,480
Speaker 4: Part of the attraction I have a being there.

2596
02:05:52,480 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 3: Like if you know you're a basketball fan and your

2597
02:05:56,800 --> 02:06:00,640
Speaker 3: school happens to be there, it's worth the trip. It's

2598
02:06:00,720 --> 02:06:03,880
Speaker 3: just it's it's a bucket list type of thing. I mean,

2599
02:06:03,920 --> 02:06:05,760
Speaker 3: you you think have you ever been.

2600
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:09,280
Speaker 8: Unfortunately, no, I have never been to a final four.

2601
02:06:09,520 --> 02:06:10,920
Speaker 4: I tell you love it.

2602
02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:13,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's definitely a bucket list item for me that

2603
02:06:13,720 --> 02:06:15,880
Speaker 9: I feel like that'd be an amazing experience for all

2604
02:06:15,880 --> 02:06:17,400
Speaker 9: the reasons that fits you laid out.

2605
02:06:18,160 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 3: And look, you get that on a bit of a

2606
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:24,520
Speaker 3: smaller level, but still it's it's a profound feeling when

2607
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:26,000
Speaker 3: you go to like the regionals.

2608
02:06:26,440 --> 02:06:28,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you know, I mean you've been the regional.

2609
02:06:28,480 --> 02:06:32,800
Speaker 9: Games, yeah, yeah, definitely, yeah, and you see all the

2610
02:06:32,480 --> 02:06:35,400
Speaker 9: good Yeah, the convergence of all the fans from the

2611
02:06:35,440 --> 02:06:38,120
Speaker 9: different areas that come in and the passion that they

2612
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:41,400
Speaker 9: show having the bands there, it's a it's a fun atmosphere,

2613
02:06:41,400 --> 02:06:43,720
Speaker 9: it really is. I just it's just it's just taking

2614
02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 9: up a notch when you can win it to the

2615
02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:48,000
Speaker 9: actual final four and all the national media comes in

2616
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:50,240
Speaker 9: and the spotlight is just on a handful of teams,

2617
02:06:50,280 --> 02:06:52,919
Speaker 9: you know, four teams as opposed to eight.

2618
02:06:52,880 --> 02:06:54,280
Speaker 8: Or whatever it is. You know that you might have

2619
02:06:54,320 --> 02:06:55,320
Speaker 8: it a regional.

2620
02:06:56,000 --> 02:06:58,760
Speaker 2: By the way, you mentioned the bands. Because the floor

2621
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:02,120
Speaker 2: is elevated, the marching bands are seated on the ground

2622
02:07:02,360 --> 02:07:04,440
Speaker 2: next to the end of the floor. I got the

2623
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:06,680
Speaker 2: chance to hear all of them. Plenty of time left,

2624
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:08,880
Speaker 2: you know, before we get to the action tonight. But

2625
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:12,680
Speaker 2: so far the very early rankings, Alabama was by far

2626
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:16,120
Speaker 2: the best of the Marching band's very tight, good song selection,

2627
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:18,680
Speaker 2: but also just the rhythm section was locked in, the

2628
02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,920
Speaker 2: horns were doing their thing. It was very good. NC

2629
02:07:21,080 --> 02:07:24,440
Speaker 2: State takes the second slot, Perdue close on the third.

2630
02:07:24,720 --> 02:07:27,000
Speaker 2: Really flip a coin on that Yukon though, dip him

2631
02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 2: far behind. That band was loose, they were not into it.

2632
02:07:29,520 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 2: I've decided, Anthony, that nobody has a better time at

2633
02:07:33,400 --> 02:07:36,560
Speaker 2: the Final four than the marching bands because they don't

2634
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:40,320
Speaker 2: have to do anything like cheerleaders and dance teams that

2635
02:07:40,320 --> 02:07:42,200
Speaker 2: are out there. Like if they mess up, the whole

2636
02:07:42,200 --> 02:07:44,640
Speaker 2: world's gonna catch it. If the Tuba players too drunk

2637
02:07:44,640 --> 02:07:46,840
Speaker 2: to play, nobody's going to be like, Wow, Tuba was

2638
02:07:46,880 --> 02:07:49,080
Speaker 2: really off in that game, Like there's no pressure. They're

2639
02:07:49,120 --> 02:07:51,560
Speaker 2: out here partying like rock stars. They're out you know

2640
02:07:51,640 --> 02:07:54,160
Speaker 2: that they're raging. You know there are band geek hotel

2641
02:07:54,200 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 2: parties going on that are just hitting at another level,

2642
02:07:56,840 --> 02:07:59,000
Speaker 2: like they are absolutely in it and they got no

2643
02:07:59,000 --> 02:08:00,920
Speaker 2: pressure to actually play in the game and play well.

2644
02:08:00,960 --> 02:08:03,480
Speaker 2: Like it's a perfect it's a perfect scenario. If your

2645
02:08:03,520 --> 02:08:06,040
Speaker 2: trumpet player somewhere in the country, you should try and

2646
02:08:06,080 --> 02:08:07,680
Speaker 2: find a place where you can go travel with the

2647
02:08:07,720 --> 02:08:09,800
Speaker 2: basketball team because they're having more fun than anybody.

2648
02:08:11,840 --> 02:08:15,400
Speaker 3: The way you just laid that out gave me the

2649
02:08:15,440 --> 02:08:22,320
Speaker 3: idea you would be awesome as like the lead judge

2650
02:08:23,640 --> 02:08:29,640
Speaker 3: in like a sports bands contest, like in the true

2651
02:08:29,680 --> 02:08:32,880
Speaker 3: Battle of the Bands, Like the way you rank the

2652
02:08:32,960 --> 02:08:36,280
Speaker 3: bands with your music ear on the.

2653
02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:39,080
Speaker 2: Battle of the Bands is a great idea for a show.

2654
02:08:39,640 --> 02:08:43,400
Speaker 2: I'd say, after this show's over, the team meeting here,

2655
02:08:43,400 --> 02:08:45,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna figure out Battle of the Bands. We'll sell

2656
02:08:45,480 --> 02:08:48,560
Speaker 2: it to somebody. But having the marching bands compete, oh yeah,

2657
02:08:48,560 --> 02:08:51,320
Speaker 2: and you bring in special guest judges. Oh, this is

2658
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:55,040
Speaker 2: guest judges that are fans of those respective schools would

2659
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:57,520
Speaker 2: be fun. Oh yeah, oh yeah yeah.

2660
02:08:57,560 --> 02:08:59,240
Speaker 3: And then we got to figure out a way to

2661
02:08:59,280 --> 02:09:04,680
Speaker 3: mix in the anthem too, like somehow like figure out

2662
02:09:04,720 --> 02:09:05,280
Speaker 3: like an ant.

2663
02:09:05,200 --> 02:09:10,400
Speaker 2: Maybe that's the elimination, like the last two bands in

2664
02:09:10,480 --> 02:09:12,880
Speaker 2: every episode are put up for elimination, And like in

2665
02:09:12,920 --> 02:09:14,840
Speaker 2: cooking shows where they have to cook against each other,

2666
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:16,680
Speaker 2: we'll make them anthem against each other.

2667
02:09:16,840 --> 02:09:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like this. I'm kind of liking this concept figure.

2668
02:09:23,960 --> 02:09:26,720
Speaker 8: I'm feeling it. I like it. I like it the.

2669
02:09:26,680 --> 02:09:27,960
Speaker 4: Way the way.

2670
02:09:27,920 --> 02:09:33,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Fitzy random and his reasoning, it just kind of

2671
02:09:33,800 --> 02:09:35,040
Speaker 3: it hit me.

2672
02:09:35,200 --> 02:09:37,480
Speaker 9: It sounds like the Yukon band. It just happened to

2673
02:09:37,520 --> 02:09:39,080
Speaker 9: be on the West coast and have some good weather

2674
02:09:39,200 --> 02:09:41,400
Speaker 9: or something. Maybe that's what they're feeling. They're feeling the

2675
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:44,280
Speaker 9: although you say it's not necessarily warm, what did you

2676
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:46,960
Speaker 9: say it is? It's forty eight forty eight probably yeah

2677
02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:50,760
Speaker 9: for Connecticut. Yeah, that's let's wear some shorts, let's go

2678
02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 9: to the pool.

2679
02:09:51,760 --> 02:09:54,200
Speaker 2: I will say I heard some of the anthem rehearsal

2680
02:09:54,480 --> 02:09:57,120
Speaker 2: yesterday too. I wasn't in the room. I was outside

2681
02:09:57,160 --> 02:09:59,160
Speaker 2: the room, but you could still hear it. And my

2682
02:09:59,240 --> 02:10:01,880
Speaker 2: girl sort of mid way through. I don't know who

2683
02:10:01,880 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 2: it was. I didn't hear her name. I just heard

2684
02:10:04,160 --> 02:10:06,560
Speaker 2: the anthem midway through. She lost her key, all right.

2685
02:10:06,600 --> 02:10:08,800
Speaker 2: So things started to go a little little wonkey there.

2686
02:10:09,120 --> 02:10:11,120
Speaker 2: And I said to one of the Yahoo guys because

2687
02:10:11,120 --> 02:10:12,880
Speaker 2: he was like, so not a good anthem, And I say,

2688
02:10:12,880 --> 02:10:14,960
Speaker 2: here's the problem. You know, like if you just do

2689
02:10:15,040 --> 02:10:17,320
Speaker 2: the anthem and you just let the anthem be the graceful,

2690
02:10:17,480 --> 02:10:20,280
Speaker 2: glorious song that it is that everybody gets hyped up

2691
02:10:20,280 --> 02:10:22,920
Speaker 2: for that makes this emotional moment. If you just do

2692
02:10:23,040 --> 02:10:25,400
Speaker 2: the anthem, you're gonna be fine. The problem is so

2693
02:10:25,480 --> 02:10:27,800
Speaker 2: many singers, because it's a really hard song to sing,

2694
02:10:28,080 --> 02:10:30,920
Speaker 2: so many singers suddenly think they're Whitney Houston. And then

2695
02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 2: it's like at YMCA where you're playing basketball and you

2696
02:10:34,080 --> 02:10:35,680
Speaker 2: know somebody's going for a dunk, but you know they

2697
02:10:35,680 --> 02:10:37,640
Speaker 2: can't do it. You know they're gonna hit the rim.

2698
02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:39,720
Speaker 2: That dunk is not going to go in About midway

2699
02:10:39,720 --> 02:10:41,600
Speaker 2: through the anthem, you know, if somebody has decided they're

2700
02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:43,640
Speaker 2: Whitney Houston but they're not really, and it's gonna be

2701
02:10:43,720 --> 02:10:45,560
Speaker 2: like watching them miss a dunk. You just gotta let

2702
02:10:45,640 --> 02:10:46,920
Speaker 2: them fail they learn them.

2703
02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:51,440
Speaker 3: I just want to paste that to the to the

2704
02:10:51,560 --> 02:10:56,160
Speaker 3: sizzle reel. Oh my god, when I create this sizzle

2705
02:10:56,240 --> 02:10:59,000
Speaker 3: for Battle of the Bands, that's gonna be the lead in,

2706
02:10:59,320 --> 02:11:03,720
Speaker 3: you know, like a Doug. That's fabulous, absolutely fabulous.

2707
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:06,200
Speaker 4: All right, let me ask you about the games.

2708
02:11:06,280 --> 02:11:09,160
Speaker 3: Let's let's let's discuss this because and we'll talk about

2709
02:11:09,200 --> 02:11:12,440
Speaker 3: it more of the big Brain Brad is going to

2710
02:11:12,560 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 3: join us next hour to kind of look at things

2711
02:11:15,640 --> 02:11:17,200
Speaker 3: from a betting standpoint.

2712
02:11:17,240 --> 02:11:19,280
Speaker 4: But let's kind of analyze these games for a bit.

2713
02:11:19,840 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 11: Uh.

2714
02:11:20,160 --> 02:11:24,040
Speaker 3: Let's start off with Eadie. And we've talked about Eadie

2715
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:29,040
Speaker 3: and how NC State may try to plan. Well, they

2716
02:11:29,080 --> 02:11:34,160
Speaker 3: try to double him with the area and and the

2717
02:11:34,200 --> 02:11:37,120
Speaker 3: big fella in Burns and try to go that route

2718
02:11:37,160 --> 02:11:40,120
Speaker 3: and try to let Purdue beat you from the outside.

2719
02:11:41,040 --> 02:11:41,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

2720
02:11:41,880 --> 02:11:45,960
Speaker 3: Well, I think all three of us believe that this

2721
02:11:46,120 --> 02:11:48,680
Speaker 3: is kind of where it all ends, this incredible story

2722
02:11:48,680 --> 02:11:49,640
Speaker 3: that is NC State.

2723
02:11:50,080 --> 02:11:51,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, this is one of those games where

2724
02:11:52,360 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 2: I'm looking squarely at Braden Smith and say, man, you

2725
02:11:54,840 --> 02:11:57,480
Speaker 2: better have a game. You gotta have one of those nights,

2726
02:11:57,520 --> 02:11:59,680
Speaker 2: you know. And and it believe me, there have been

2727
02:11:59,720 --> 02:12:01,760
Speaker 2: times this year where he shot well enough to have that.

2728
02:12:02,120 --> 02:12:05,440
Speaker 2: But man, he's gonna have to have a night.

2729
02:12:05,760 --> 02:12:05,960
Speaker 3: You know.

2730
02:12:06,040 --> 02:12:09,920
Speaker 2: There's just no doubt about that. To me. If he

2731
02:12:09,920 --> 02:12:11,480
Speaker 2: can shoot the ball, well, it takes some of the

2732
02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:14,480
Speaker 2: pressure off of Edy for Purdue, that's helpful. If he doesn't,

2733
02:12:14,800 --> 02:12:18,600
Speaker 2: this thing gets out of control. I think it's interesting

2734
02:12:18,640 --> 02:12:22,680
Speaker 2: because everything goes to Edie. Everything's going to rely on Edie.

2735
02:12:22,680 --> 02:12:26,000
Speaker 2: But if Braden Smith is great, then Purdue's gonna roll

2736
02:12:26,040 --> 02:12:28,320
Speaker 2: by thirty. Like it just it wouldn't surprise me at all.

2737
02:12:28,360 --> 02:12:30,960
Speaker 2: But if NC State can find a way to lock

2738
02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:33,080
Speaker 2: some of that down and Braiden Smith's a little bit off,

2739
02:12:33,480 --> 02:12:35,400
Speaker 2: that leaves them the crack a hope that they need.

2740
02:12:36,600 --> 02:12:38,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, I just don't see it happening. I really don't,

2741
02:12:38,840 --> 02:12:41,880
Speaker 9: Frenzy stand it, but I can't. Yeah, it's just really

2742
02:12:41,880 --> 02:12:44,360
Speaker 9: difficult to find. And they just as much as we

2743
02:12:44,400 --> 02:12:46,200
Speaker 9: love DJ Burns and as good of a story as

2744
02:12:46,200 --> 02:12:48,600
Speaker 9: he is, he's just going to be completely overmatched by

2745
02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:51,720
Speaker 9: Zach Edy. And you know, yes, he has some power

2746
02:12:51,720 --> 02:12:53,760
Speaker 9: behind him, and he has some good feet, some quick feet,

2747
02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:57,040
Speaker 9: but Zach Edy is just so tall and so wide,

2748
02:12:57,680 --> 02:13:00,480
Speaker 9: and Burns is more of a finesse player. He likes to,

2749
02:13:00,520 --> 02:13:02,520
Speaker 9: you know, get a little you know, bounce off the glass,

2750
02:13:02,840 --> 02:13:04,640
Speaker 9: show a little bit of touch. How are you going

2751
02:13:04,720 --> 02:13:06,760
Speaker 9: to float it over a guy who has an eight

2752
02:13:06,800 --> 02:13:09,160
Speaker 9: foot wingspan, eight foot nine whatever it is. I mean,

2753
02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:11,120
Speaker 9: that's just it's just really difficult to try to get

2754
02:13:11,120 --> 02:13:13,080
Speaker 9: those sort of shots off against a.

2755
02:13:13,000 --> 02:13:16,000
Speaker 8: Guy like that. I just think Edie dominates from the paint.

2756
02:13:16,040 --> 02:13:17,840
Speaker 9: And then when they do double team onto your point,

2757
02:13:18,160 --> 02:13:20,000
Speaker 9: checking out to those guys who've been making their shots

2758
02:13:20,040 --> 02:13:23,640
Speaker 9: all tournament long. It just I really think Perdue wins

2759
02:13:23,680 --> 02:13:24,160
Speaker 9: going away.

2760
02:13:25,200 --> 02:13:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting because what do you

2761
02:13:27,720 --> 02:13:30,560
Speaker 2: do if you are somebody that's had a lot of

2762
02:13:30,600 --> 02:13:32,760
Speaker 2: success in this tournament? And I think it's fair to

2763
02:13:32,800 --> 02:13:35,200
Speaker 2: say that above and beyond the caricature of a DJ

2764
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:38,400
Speaker 2: Burns is at just a great tournament, right, But now

2765
02:13:38,400 --> 02:13:41,240
Speaker 2: you've got somebody in that even if you box him out,

2766
02:13:41,280 --> 02:13:42,880
Speaker 2: he can just reach up over your head and take

2767
02:13:42,920 --> 02:13:45,040
Speaker 2: the ball right Like it's just, even if you do

2768
02:13:45,120 --> 02:13:48,000
Speaker 2: everything fundamentally you are supposed to do, he will simply

2769
02:13:48,240 --> 02:13:50,320
Speaker 2: take the ball from you. And what did we see

2770
02:13:50,320 --> 02:13:52,600
Speaker 2: going into the Tennessee game. Everybody said, well, he doesn't

2771
02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:53,920
Speaker 2: like to go to his right. He doesn't like to

2772
02:13:53,920 --> 02:13:56,040
Speaker 2: go to his right, and so all Tennessee did was

2773
02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:57,879
Speaker 2: force him to go to his right, and he converted

2774
02:13:58,080 --> 02:14:01,960
Speaker 2: every stinking time. Like he's just he's he's into a

2775
02:14:01,960 --> 02:14:03,560
Speaker 2: different level right now. And I don't think they have

2776
02:14:03,600 --> 02:14:04,720
Speaker 2: the bodies to have an answer.

2777
02:14:05,960 --> 02:14:07,400
Speaker 3: No, I don't either.

2778
02:14:08,160 --> 02:14:09,120
Speaker 4: And here's the other one.

2779
02:14:09,240 --> 02:14:13,000
Speaker 3: Right, So when we look at at Alabama and Yukon.

2780
02:14:14,280 --> 02:14:18,440
Speaker 3: I mean Alabama's names. It scored every game. Why is

2781
02:14:18,480 --> 02:14:22,640
Speaker 3: this going to be different? Especially when Alabama can't play defense?

2782
02:14:24,160 --> 02:14:27,280
Speaker 2: Now, that to me is the biggest Like what is

2783
02:14:27,320 --> 02:14:30,839
Speaker 2: Alabama going to do to shut Klingon down? Because clinging

2784
02:14:31,040 --> 02:14:34,040
Speaker 2: is this rare you know in college right now, the

2785
02:14:34,120 --> 02:14:37,040
Speaker 2: rare combination of like he he's going to force you

2786
02:14:37,120 --> 02:14:39,120
Speaker 2: to cover him in the paint and then the minute

2787
02:14:39,120 --> 02:14:41,640
Speaker 2: you do that, he's going to be able to move around.

2788
02:14:41,800 --> 02:14:44,720
Speaker 2: And they move that offense around so well. And Tristan

2789
02:14:44,760 --> 02:14:48,000
Speaker 2: Newton has played so well in this tournament. Like these

2790
02:14:48,080 --> 02:14:50,520
Speaker 2: both of these games are very similar. The big men

2791
02:14:50,560 --> 02:14:51,920
Speaker 2: are going to have to figure out how to cancel

2792
02:14:52,000 --> 02:14:54,000
Speaker 2: each other out and then which guards show up, right,

2793
02:14:54,200 --> 02:14:58,720
Speaker 2: It's that simple. But also, man sitting with Danny Green

2794
02:14:58,840 --> 02:15:01,680
Speaker 2: watching these games, the number of times Danny will stop

2795
02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:04,600
Speaker 2: a play afterwards and say that wasn't just a good moment,

2796
02:15:05,000 --> 02:15:08,120
Speaker 2: that was a well drawn up, well practiced basketball play.

2797
02:15:08,480 --> 02:15:11,280
Speaker 2: And he said, last round, you know, Connecticut has more

2798
02:15:11,720 --> 02:15:14,680
Speaker 2: well drawn up basketball plays than anybody. So even when

2799
02:15:14,720 --> 02:15:17,000
Speaker 2: you think you've stopped them, they know how to run

2800
02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:19,800
Speaker 2: a set of plays to just get around everybody. And

2801
02:15:19,840 --> 02:15:22,400
Speaker 2: that's a coaching advantage that I think Hurley provides them.

2802
02:15:23,040 --> 02:15:25,560
Speaker 2: I would love to see a world where things get interesting.

2803
02:15:25,960 --> 02:15:29,360
Speaker 2: I just don't think Alabama can keep up and get

2804
02:15:29,360 --> 02:15:32,200
Speaker 2: the defense they need to slow Connecticut down.

2805
02:15:32,280 --> 02:15:34,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, and the crazy part is, like Alabama, if you

2806
02:15:34,800 --> 02:15:36,720
Speaker 9: look at the surre and sheer numbers, you say, yeah,

2807
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:39,280
Speaker 9: they've been bad defensively, but their last couple of opponents

2808
02:15:39,280 --> 02:15:42,360
Speaker 9: they've held under ninety points, which for them is solid. Really,

2809
02:15:42,400 --> 02:15:44,480
Speaker 9: their defense hasn't been that good. They just had some

2810
02:15:44,520 --> 02:15:47,320
Speaker 9: really bad offensive performances. I can go back to RJ. Davis.

2811
02:15:47,360 --> 02:15:50,480
Speaker 9: North Carolina was like five of twenty two or something.

2812
02:15:50,520 --> 02:15:53,080
Speaker 9: You had the worst game of his season, and Alabama

2813
02:15:53,120 --> 02:15:55,760
Speaker 9: is still only one by two. You know, Clemson had

2814
02:15:55,760 --> 02:16:00,240
Speaker 9: one of its worst offensive performances of the tournament, only

2815
02:16:00,280 --> 02:16:03,120
Speaker 9: lost by a couple of possessions. I think Alabama's kind

2816
02:16:03,120 --> 02:16:05,440
Speaker 9: of been playing on bar all time. I mean, the

2817
02:16:05,480 --> 02:16:08,440
Speaker 9: line in this game is like what eleven. I'd be shocked,

2818
02:16:09,200 --> 02:16:11,880
Speaker 9: shocked if Connecticut didn't win by at least twenty five.

2819
02:16:12,640 --> 02:16:14,800
Speaker 2: I mean, the average margin of victory in this tournament's

2820
02:16:14,800 --> 02:16:15,360
Speaker 2: twenty six.

2821
02:16:15,480 --> 02:16:16,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, at least twenty five.

2822
02:16:17,560 --> 02:16:23,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I know, I don't understand. I'll be honest,

2823
02:16:23,680 --> 02:16:25,520
Speaker 3: I don't even understand the line itself.

2824
02:16:25,760 --> 02:16:30,000
Speaker 8: Why it's so low. I can even shouldn't have gotten by.

2825
02:16:30,360 --> 02:16:33,040
Speaker 9: If Grand Canyon hadn't just you know, resorted to AI

2826
02:16:33,200 --> 02:16:35,720
Speaker 9: basketball and could make a freaking free throw, they wouldn't

2827
02:16:35,720 --> 02:16:38,519
Speaker 9: have beaten them in the second round. I mean, Alabama

2828
02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:42,280
Speaker 9: has been teetering for the last two weekends.

2829
02:16:43,160 --> 02:16:47,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm with you, I don't understand it. Eleven

2830
02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:51,280
Speaker 3: and a half. It feels so low to me. Both games.

2831
02:16:51,440 --> 02:16:54,280
Speaker 3: I just kind of don't think I don't see it.

2832
02:16:54,360 --> 02:16:58,720
Speaker 3: I see the mismatch on both Uh let me, let me.

2833
02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:01,760
Speaker 3: I want to would name at you, and I want

2834
02:17:01,840 --> 02:17:07,920
Speaker 3: your response, just like when you hear his name FITZI.

2835
02:17:07,920 --> 02:17:10,520
Speaker 3: I'll start with you. Danny Hurley.

2836
02:17:11,520 --> 02:17:17,160
Speaker 2: Uh, really smart coach, really angry in a good way,

2837
02:17:17,640 --> 02:17:20,920
Speaker 2: knows how to get the pulse of his team. I

2838
02:17:20,920 --> 02:17:23,119
Speaker 2: think he's one of the best coaches in college basketball,

2839
02:17:23,160 --> 02:17:26,240
Speaker 2: one of the best coaches in college sports. And you

2840
02:17:26,280 --> 02:17:28,800
Speaker 2: know what he's been able to do consistently at this point.

2841
02:17:28,959 --> 02:17:31,560
Speaker 2: This was supposed to be a step back here. I

2842
02:17:31,640 --> 02:17:33,760
Speaker 2: keep saying that because I want everybody to understand that

2843
02:17:33,760 --> 02:17:36,560
Speaker 2: the preseason rankings had them fourth in the Big East

2844
02:17:36,760 --> 02:17:39,040
Speaker 2: and here they are in the final four, right like.

2845
02:17:39,360 --> 02:17:41,640
Speaker 2: And a lot of that is hurly. I think we

2846
02:17:41,680 --> 02:17:45,080
Speaker 2: always hear the standard is the standard and expectation. But man,

2847
02:17:45,480 --> 02:17:48,119
Speaker 2: he's just one of those guys that he has the presence,

2848
02:17:48,440 --> 02:17:51,199
Speaker 2: he's imposing. He knows how to get what he needs

2849
02:17:51,200 --> 02:17:53,800
Speaker 2: out of his players. Players know exactly what to expect

2850
02:17:53,840 --> 02:17:57,640
Speaker 2: from him. They respect him. It's just it's he is

2851
02:17:57,680 --> 02:18:00,440
Speaker 2: a perfect coach for Yukon. I just wish he's going

2852
02:18:00,440 --> 02:18:02,760
Speaker 2: to Sally Alita's after games because it's a little Mexican

2853
02:18:02,840 --> 02:18:05,440
Speaker 2: spot outside of outside of the house in Bristol that

2854
02:18:05,480 --> 02:18:07,400
Speaker 2: I have. And I'm telling you, when he's there, you

2855
02:18:07,400 --> 02:18:09,119
Speaker 2: can't get in. You already can't get into that place.

2856
02:18:09,160 --> 02:18:12,400
Speaker 2: Dany like, go somewhere else. You know.

2857
02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:18,520
Speaker 9: One word that's great that I would use lunatic And

2858
02:18:18,600 --> 02:18:21,080
Speaker 9: I say that with all due respect to him, and

2859
02:18:21,120 --> 02:18:22,120
Speaker 9: he is a great coach.

2860
02:18:22,200 --> 02:18:23,840
Speaker 8: But he'll say whatever's on his mind.

2861
02:18:23,879 --> 02:18:25,600
Speaker 9: And I think that's why he's such a great coach,

2862
02:18:25,959 --> 02:18:29,199
Speaker 9: because the players know that he's raw and completely authentic.

2863
02:18:29,520 --> 02:18:32,000
Speaker 9: He's going to press conferences and cursing all the time,

2864
02:18:32,040 --> 02:18:34,560
Speaker 9: and just I mean I mean you kind of like

2865
02:18:34,600 --> 02:18:36,360
Speaker 9: his brother Bobby to a certain degree, though I do

2866
02:18:36,400 --> 02:18:38,400
Speaker 9: think he's a better he's a better coach. But I mean,

2867
02:18:38,800 --> 02:18:40,840
Speaker 9: for all the all the things that you said, FITZI,

2868
02:18:41,000 --> 02:18:43,520
Speaker 9: but I say lunatic because he's just a little bit

2869
02:18:43,520 --> 02:18:45,480
Speaker 9: of a loose cannon. But I think that's part of

2870
02:18:45,520 --> 02:18:47,200
Speaker 9: what gives him his edge and what makes him such

2871
02:18:47,200 --> 02:18:49,800
Speaker 9: a great coach. So my one word is lunatic, but

2872
02:18:49,840 --> 02:18:51,400
Speaker 9: I mean that in the best way possible.

2873
02:18:51,800 --> 02:18:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's great. Well, put guys, big r the

2874
02:18:55,160 --> 02:18:58,200
Speaker 3: hurlies are the hardballs, they really are of the NFL.

2875
02:18:58,240 --> 02:19:00,000
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, oh yeah, that's good analogy.

2876
02:19:00,280 --> 02:19:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, right there, all right, we'll come back, the big

2877

2889
02:19:58,000 --> 02:20:00,440
Speaker 5: What Patrick Corbin, I don't remember.

2890
02:20:00,560 --> 02:20:01,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. Yeah it was so I think

2891
02:20:01,840 --> 02:20:03,760
Speaker 3: it was the Final four actually, so we were like

2892
02:20:03,800 --> 02:20:05,920
Speaker 3: going over to the final or whatever it was. And

2893
02:20:06,600 --> 02:20:09,480
Speaker 3: the next thing, you know, like I'm in the middle

2894
02:20:09,520 --> 02:20:13,280
Speaker 3: of that earthquake and I'm feeling that the building shake

2895
02:20:13,720 --> 02:20:16,040
Speaker 3: and it's like one hundred and twenty five year old building.

2896
02:20:16,560 --> 02:20:19,320
Speaker 3: So and I'm looking at the bricks and I'm seeing

2897
02:20:19,400 --> 02:20:22,680
Speaker 3: dust come up, and I'm going, yeah, is this thing

2898
02:20:22,680 --> 02:20:23,439
Speaker 3: going to crumble?

2899
02:20:24,080 --> 02:20:26,440
Speaker 4: Like are we gonna fall? We're on the top floor.

2900
02:20:26,959 --> 02:20:30,879
Speaker 3: So my eyes are freaking out, and Brad is like,

2901
02:20:31,080 --> 02:20:33,320
Speaker 3: did you know, like did you see my face?

2902
02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:37,480
Speaker 5: You know what's funny? I was so like dis charged. Honestly,

2903
02:20:37,640 --> 02:20:39,560
Speaker 5: I really enjoyed always talking me. I was so wrapped

2904
02:20:39,600 --> 02:20:43,240
Speaker 5: up in our conversation and then I eventually did, but

2905
02:20:43,440 --> 02:20:45,960
Speaker 5: I mean, honestly, I didn't pick up on it, and

2906
02:20:46,080 --> 02:20:49,040
Speaker 5: honest until you were like, oh my god, the building shaking,

2907
02:20:49,080 --> 02:20:52,320
Speaker 5: I was like, and I was like, geez, Louise, that's

2908
02:20:52,360 --> 02:20:54,480
Speaker 5: something I hope I don't ever have to experience. But

2909
02:20:54,560 --> 02:20:57,280
Speaker 5: you know, thank god that you know, obviously those things

2910
02:20:57,280 --> 02:20:59,520
Speaker 5: could be worse, but where we live usually anything, we

2911
02:20:59,520 --> 02:21:03,400
Speaker 5: don't usually get those, you know, least that's California territory obviously.

2912
02:21:03,959 --> 02:21:07,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well l A l A Figure Ellie la figure

2913
02:21:07,600 --> 02:21:11,400
Speaker 3: over there said, uh, okay, tell him about how that

2914
02:21:11,480 --> 02:21:11,959
Speaker 3: was nothing?

2915
02:21:12,680 --> 02:21:14,920
Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely not. I thought somebody was knocking out the doors.

2916
02:21:14,959 --> 02:21:19,800
Speaker 8: What I said, he's couper man than me at four

2917
02:21:19,800 --> 02:21:20,200
Speaker 8: point eight.

2918
02:21:20,240 --> 02:21:23,760
Speaker 9: Come on, that's like that's the old N sixty four

2919
02:21:23,840 --> 02:21:26,160
Speaker 9: rumblestick when you're playing a Mario kart or something.

2920
02:21:26,200 --> 02:21:29,600
Speaker 5: That's all that is that my ten yard dash time.

2921
02:21:33,360 --> 02:21:33,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

2922
02:21:34,000 --> 02:21:37,119
Speaker 4: FITZI is in Glendale for the final four.

2923
02:21:38,320 --> 02:21:40,240
Speaker 3: Brad so he's been.

2924
02:21:40,360 --> 02:21:42,240
Speaker 4: He's been in Scott's in his final four.

2925
02:21:43,720 --> 02:21:45,440
Speaker 5: I actually do have to say this. I'm not to

2926
02:21:45,480 --> 02:21:49,039
Speaker 5: give a plug, but I was just in in Arizona

2927
02:21:49,720 --> 02:21:57,080
Speaker 5: and uh, the the drafting sports that there was absolutely spectacular,

2928
02:21:57,640 --> 02:22:01,600
Speaker 5: No like really like worth Worth going to it was.

2929
02:22:02,680 --> 02:22:04,560
Speaker 5: It was phenomenal, Like it was almost like going to

2930
02:22:04,600 --> 02:22:07,600
Speaker 5: the rich Carlton it was. It was didn't seem like

2931
02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:09,560
Speaker 5: a sports book. So if you're there, I give a chance,

2932
02:22:09,600 --> 02:22:11,080
Speaker 5: I would actually say it's a good thing to watch

2933
02:22:11,080 --> 02:22:11,800
Speaker 5: a game or whatever.

2934
02:22:12,440 --> 02:22:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna find a spot to watch the Women's championship

2935
02:22:16,400 --> 02:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Sunday afternoon.

2936
02:22:17,200 --> 02:22:19,400
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, it's funny. That was. What did you

2937
02:22:19,440 --> 02:22:20,440
Speaker 5: guys think of that call?

2938
02:22:21,080 --> 02:22:21,320
Speaker 4: That was?

2939
02:22:21,360 --> 02:22:23,080
Speaker 5: Really I don't think I've ever seen a call like

2940
02:22:23,120 --> 02:22:26,560
Speaker 5: that tend the game. Trying to think about it, I'm

2941
02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:28,960
Speaker 5: not sure if you guys had seen a play like

2942
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:32,080
Speaker 5: that where I remember I was watching it and I'm

2943
02:22:32,120 --> 02:22:37,160
Speaker 5: just like, WHOA, Like what I missed? And I just again,

2944
02:22:37,200 --> 02:22:38,800
Speaker 5: you can't he never want to say a team loses

2945
02:22:38,800 --> 02:22:40,760
Speaker 5: a game on one call. I think that's weak, you know,

2946
02:22:40,800 --> 02:22:43,800
Speaker 5: because obviously you're in that position to be down by one.

2947
02:22:44,080 --> 02:22:46,040
Speaker 5: If you were up winning, you wouldn't have to worry

2948
02:22:46,040 --> 02:22:48,080
Speaker 5: about it. But so I'm not saying that. But what

2949
02:22:48,120 --> 02:22:50,840
Speaker 5: I am saying is, man, that that was I've never

2950
02:22:50,879 --> 02:22:54,120
Speaker 5: seen that. I mean, Anthony, you've been doing this forever.

2951
02:22:54,200 --> 02:22:55,879
Speaker 5: Have you ever seen a play like that and a

2952
02:22:55,920 --> 02:22:59,439
Speaker 5: big game that call fit to you? Have you ever seen.

2953
02:23:00,480 --> 02:23:02,760
Speaker 2: No, I don't think I've ever seen that type of

2954
02:23:02,760 --> 02:23:06,880
Speaker 2: offensive call in that moment for sure, which only because

2955
02:23:06,879 --> 02:23:09,840
Speaker 2: I keep dying on this hill only makes me think. God,

2956
02:23:10,480 --> 02:23:13,320
Speaker 2: it took like the ref had to feel confident about

2957
02:23:13,320 --> 02:23:14,640
Speaker 2: it to call it, you know what I mean? Like

2958
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:18,920
Speaker 2: everybody keeps saying swallows and the whizzard, but like I, well, look.

2959
02:23:18,879 --> 02:23:20,959
Speaker 5: On my clients, I'm confident by the plane a loser

2960
02:23:20,959 --> 02:23:27,560
Speaker 5: and they don't care. Come on, that's making feel any better.

2961
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:34,600
Speaker 5: At least they were confident. You're rights are confident, right man,

2962
02:23:35,480 --> 02:23:36,680
Speaker 5: I don't care about you're confident.

2963
02:23:37,879 --> 02:23:41,640
Speaker 3: So uh, well, let's get into it because we've been

2964
02:23:41,720 --> 02:23:44,720
Speaker 3: we've been analyzing these games and I'm dying to hear

2965
02:23:44,760 --> 02:23:48,680
Speaker 3: what you think. So let's start off with Purdue and

2966
02:23:49,400 --> 02:23:53,520
Speaker 3: NC State And every time we every time we match

2967
02:23:53,520 --> 02:23:55,600
Speaker 3: it up, it comes up for due in a big way.

2968
02:23:55,720 --> 02:24:00,360
Speaker 3: And there's no way that I don't know. I can't

2969
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:02,640
Speaker 3: see him stop at eatie. And even if they try

2970
02:24:02,680 --> 02:24:05,160
Speaker 3: to do it with the AARA double him with the

2971
02:24:05,240 --> 02:24:08,680
Speaker 3: area and burns, I don't see how effective that's going

2972
02:24:08,760 --> 02:24:08,920
Speaker 3: to be.

2973
02:24:10,280 --> 02:24:12,240
Speaker 5: No, Anthony, Look, I actually do agree with you. I

2974
02:24:12,240 --> 02:24:14,880
Speaker 5: think it's going to be. Look I mentioned this he

2975
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:17,199
Speaker 5: there today. It's interesting you to think about MC State,

2976
02:24:17,520 --> 02:24:18,840
Speaker 5: bry Way. This has been the best team to me

2977
02:24:18,879 --> 02:24:21,520
Speaker 5: in the tournament. I've live at this team. They I mean,

2978
02:24:22,120 --> 02:24:25,800
Speaker 5: I M C Stamps. I thank god they got him

2979
02:24:25,800 --> 02:24:28,520
Speaker 5: the tournament. They've been amazing for me. Okay. So I'm

2980
02:24:28,800 --> 02:24:32,240
Speaker 5: coming from this very respectful towards NC State because they've

2981
02:24:32,240 --> 02:24:35,080
Speaker 5: been amazing than me. Okay. But when when I when

2982
02:24:35,120 --> 02:24:38,039
Speaker 5: I look at this, you know they were Anthony Again,

2983
02:24:38,080 --> 02:24:39,200
Speaker 5: I look at it like this. They were like a

2984
02:24:39,240 --> 02:24:42,959
Speaker 5: seven point underleg against Duke. Duke and Purdue on a

2985
02:24:43,000 --> 02:24:45,879
Speaker 5: neutral floor is going to be five and a half

2986
02:24:45,920 --> 02:24:48,880
Speaker 5: five this line, you can get as low as eight

2987
02:24:48,879 --> 02:24:52,200
Speaker 5: and a half. I don't quite get that. Now you're

2988
02:24:52,200 --> 02:24:54,520
Speaker 5: going to bump up in C State three and a

2989
02:24:54,560 --> 02:24:56,960
Speaker 5: half four points based off that win against Duke. I

2990
02:24:57,280 --> 02:24:59,800
Speaker 5: can't get someone that big of a jump off one game.

2991
02:25:00,120 --> 02:25:02,600
Speaker 5: Just can't do it. The only way I can look

2992
02:25:02,640 --> 02:25:06,840
Speaker 5: here is the produce side. Again, you can lay as

2993
02:25:06,840 --> 02:25:10,360
Speaker 5: low as eight half. You shop it. There's nines, mostly nines,

2994
02:25:10,520 --> 02:25:12,000
Speaker 5: a few nine and a halfs if you want to

2995
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:14,680
Speaker 5: go the other way, if you like the NC State side.

2996
02:25:14,840 --> 02:25:17,640
Speaker 5: But to me, again, this is why I do think

2997
02:25:17,720 --> 02:25:19,480
Speaker 5: it's produe plays. Can I to get in the finals

2998
02:25:19,600 --> 02:25:21,320
Speaker 5: They're the one team. And I can't wait to watch

2999
02:25:21,320 --> 02:25:24,360
Speaker 5: that game that has with clinging in like a big

3000
02:25:24,400 --> 02:25:27,600
Speaker 5: guy to actually say all right, you know what, Zack,

3001
02:25:27,840 --> 02:25:31,320
Speaker 5: you we have someone beat your own size. I just

3002
02:25:31,720 --> 02:25:33,520
Speaker 5: think that Edie is going to be too He's just

3003
02:25:34,520 --> 02:25:37,000
Speaker 5: you know, he's just too big. He's just too hard

3004
02:25:37,040 --> 02:25:40,040
Speaker 5: to stop. It's not laying eight and a half nine

3005
02:25:40,040 --> 02:25:42,000
Speaker 5: points in one of these kind of games. I get it.

3006
02:25:43,280 --> 02:25:44,880
Speaker 5: But I'm not. I'm not. I'm not going down the

3007
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,760
Speaker 5: NC State road. I'm really not. And I will sit this.

3008
02:25:47,760 --> 02:25:50,480
Speaker 5: I look alive at this because I like taking some

3009
02:25:50,520 --> 02:25:52,880
Speaker 5: of these first cap overs in Purdue games because teams

3010
02:25:52,879 --> 02:25:54,840
Speaker 5: getting a foul trouble against d and it can be

3011
02:25:54,879 --> 02:25:57,200
Speaker 5: like a parade to the foul line. Uh. And I

3012
02:25:57,280 --> 02:25:59,360
Speaker 5: just I worry about NC State being able not to

3013
02:25:59,400 --> 02:26:02,040
Speaker 5: fill the guy. And one thing why I come up

3014
02:26:02,080 --> 02:26:03,400
Speaker 5: personally as the pretty side.

3015
02:26:03,920 --> 02:26:07,000
Speaker 2: What about Edie? I think we had his points at

3016
02:26:07,000 --> 02:26:09,560
Speaker 2: twenty six, which felt kind of low to me given

3017
02:26:09,640 --> 02:26:12,440
Speaker 2: his success rightly lately. Even though it's a big number,

3018
02:26:12,440 --> 02:26:13,440
Speaker 2: So how do you feel about that?

3019
02:26:14,680 --> 02:26:17,080
Speaker 5: Well, as you said, if it is it is a

3020
02:26:17,080 --> 02:26:19,480
Speaker 5: big number, it's a huge number. I mean twenty six

3021
02:26:19,520 --> 02:26:22,400
Speaker 5: and a half is you know that that ain't cheap.

3022
02:26:22,840 --> 02:26:25,600
Speaker 5: But he's averaging twenty five for the year, and in

3023
02:26:25,720 --> 02:26:28,600
Speaker 5: the tournament like he he's coming on obviously that amazing

3024
02:26:28,959 --> 02:26:31,080
Speaker 5: game where he had forty points on I think if

3025
02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:33,760
Speaker 5: the tournament he's averaging thirty and he's gone over this,

3026
02:26:34,120 --> 02:26:37,640
Speaker 5: I think six ers last seven games. Only way I

3027
02:26:37,640 --> 02:26:39,280
Speaker 5: could look is the over, but it's not. I think

3028
02:26:39,280 --> 02:26:41,320
Speaker 5: it's looks I was pricing it. I would have raced

3029
02:26:41,360 --> 02:26:43,280
Speaker 5: it he and he's averaging twenty five, I probably would

3030
02:26:43,280 --> 02:26:45,120
Speaker 5: have praced it twenty six manth and twenty seven a half

3031
02:26:45,120 --> 02:26:48,160
Speaker 5: in that area. Slight lean to the over, but I

3032
02:26:48,200 --> 02:26:50,160
Speaker 5: don't know if there's enough edge for me personally to

3033
02:26:50,160 --> 02:26:52,120
Speaker 5: put a wage on it. But I would only lean

3034
02:26:52,160 --> 02:26:54,119
Speaker 5: that way because I maybe even made it twenty seven

3035
02:26:54,120 --> 02:26:55,800
Speaker 5: and a half the one.

3036
02:26:55,560 --> 02:26:58,920
Speaker 3: That in fifteen bro, I'm to give him credit. That looked.

3037
02:26:58,959 --> 02:27:02,400
Speaker 3: I like even more to that. That is the rebounds

3038
02:27:02,800 --> 02:27:05,200
Speaker 3: thirteen and a half is his number.

3039
02:27:05,800 --> 02:27:07,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like this over.

3040
02:27:07,720 --> 02:27:10,240
Speaker 2: I think that's all right value.

3041
02:27:10,400 --> 02:27:13,080
Speaker 3: I think he's grabbing and you know he's got a

3042
02:27:13,160 --> 02:27:15,440
Speaker 3: chance to grab twenty thinking I were talking about it,

3043
02:27:15,800 --> 02:27:19,360
Speaker 3: and I'm like, he's got a legitimate thirty twenty chance,

3044
02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:21,760
Speaker 3: and I like the twenty more than the thirty.

3045
02:27:22,320 --> 02:27:25,320
Speaker 5: Well, here's what people aren't understanding, Anthony, And I want

3046
02:27:25,320 --> 02:27:28,320
Speaker 5: to tell you why I like this over. The average

3047
02:27:28,320 --> 02:27:31,080
Speaker 5: bear is going to look at Zachy Dinger. See averages

3048
02:27:31,080 --> 02:27:33,400
Speaker 5: about twelve and a half rebounds, right, okay, so they

3049
02:27:33,480 --> 02:27:35,680
Speaker 5: made it thirteen and a half. You know, doesn't really

3050
02:27:35,720 --> 02:27:37,160
Speaker 5: seem like any edge there if you want to make

3051
02:27:37,200 --> 02:27:40,280
Speaker 5: the over right wrong, and I'll tell you why wrong.

3052
02:27:41,200 --> 02:27:44,160
Speaker 5: He's look at these last two games against Gonzaga and

3053
02:27:44,240 --> 02:27:46,039
Speaker 5: Tennessee and this game will be the same. Let me

3054
02:27:46,080 --> 02:27:49,600
Speaker 5: tell you, I don't care what the score is. They're

3055
02:27:49,640 --> 02:27:51,360
Speaker 5: going to leave this guy in there till the game

3056
02:27:51,440 --> 02:27:53,880
Speaker 5: is freaking final. He's averaging thirty one minutes the game

3057
02:27:53,879 --> 02:27:55,879
Speaker 5: this year, okay, thirty one minutes the game, the average

3058
02:27:55,920 --> 02:27:57,640
Speaker 5: around thirty one last year. He's average twelve and a

3059
02:27:57,640 --> 02:28:01,080
Speaker 5: half rebounds last two years. In this game, I expect eight, okay,

3060
02:28:01,200 --> 02:28:03,840
Speaker 5: So I'm expecting about a thirty percent jump in rebounds.

3061
02:28:03,840 --> 02:28:06,480
Speaker 5: And by the way, by the way, he's been averaging

3062
02:28:06,480 --> 02:28:09,039
Speaker 5: that in the tournament sixteen and a half, So you're

3063
02:28:09,040 --> 02:28:12,320
Speaker 5: getting that thirty percent jump based on the extra minutes

3064
02:28:12,360 --> 02:28:16,520
Speaker 5: he's getting. So I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think

3065
02:28:16,520 --> 02:28:19,240
Speaker 5: that that's where there's even more edge on the points

3066
02:28:19,280 --> 02:28:20,959
Speaker 5: is on the rebounds. I would lean on the points

3067
02:28:20,959 --> 02:28:23,520
Speaker 5: over too, but I really like the rebounds one because

3068
02:28:23,520 --> 02:28:26,920
Speaker 5: I would have that closer to fifteen, not thirteen and

3069
02:28:26,920 --> 02:28:29,080
Speaker 5: a half. And on our lower number is more edge.

3070
02:28:29,720 --> 02:28:31,560
Speaker 2: All right, So let's look at the other game then,

3071
02:28:31,959 --> 02:28:35,160
Speaker 2: because obviously Connecticut is winning by just a massive amount.

3072
02:28:35,320 --> 02:28:37,640
Speaker 2: So how much stock? Like, what are we supposed to do?

3073
02:28:37,720 --> 02:28:40,520
Speaker 2: You mentioned live betting with a team that two games

3074
02:28:40,560 --> 02:28:42,160
Speaker 2: in a row, it's been close at the half and

3075
02:28:42,200 --> 02:28:44,320
Speaker 2: it's just turned into massive blowouts.

3076
02:28:44,800 --> 02:28:47,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, listen to this team has obviously been

3077
02:28:47,240 --> 02:28:51,359
Speaker 5: a behemoth. There's no way of getting around it. You know. Again,

3078
02:28:51,480 --> 02:28:53,760
Speaker 5: the comp and I I said this, Anthony on your

3079
02:28:53,760 --> 02:28:56,040
Speaker 5: show yesterday, I go, maybe the comp is that Florida

3080
02:28:56,120 --> 02:28:58,000
Speaker 5: team that won the two straight titles and the second

3081
02:28:58,040 --> 02:29:00,560
Speaker 5: time they ran rough shot over everyone one could even

3082
02:29:00,600 --> 02:29:03,840
Speaker 5: sniff them. That's what Connecticut's doing. They have to do

3083
02:29:03,879 --> 02:29:07,480
Speaker 5: it through two more times? Can they do it? We'll see.

3084
02:29:08,600 --> 02:29:12,360
Speaker 5: Look this interesting matchup with Alabama. Alabama to me is

3085
02:29:12,840 --> 02:29:15,560
Speaker 5: how I compare them. They're that team to me that

3086
02:29:15,680 --> 02:29:18,520
Speaker 5: you just never know what you're going to get. I mean,

3087
02:29:18,560 --> 02:29:21,280
Speaker 5: Alabama could lose this game by forty name not forty,

3088
02:29:21,280 --> 02:29:23,840
Speaker 5: but by twenty five. I wouldn't blank an eye, and

3089
02:29:23,920 --> 02:29:25,800
Speaker 5: they can really make this game close. I wouldn't blink

3090
02:29:25,800 --> 02:29:28,520
Speaker 5: an eye because the way Alabama plays oates wants to

3091
02:29:28,560 --> 02:29:32,280
Speaker 5: either get lambs. I had a three, and when you

3092
02:29:32,440 --> 02:29:34,680
Speaker 5: pay that means there's a lot of variants on this team.

3093
02:29:34,879 --> 02:29:37,920
Speaker 5: So you know, I'm not on a game like this

3094
02:29:38,040 --> 02:29:40,480
Speaker 5: with a lot of variants. I mean, you know, Alabama

3095
02:29:40,520 --> 02:29:43,560
Speaker 5: certainly has it in them to keep this game close. Offensively,

3096
02:29:43,720 --> 02:29:45,240
Speaker 5: for most of this year, could see they were like

3097
02:29:45,400 --> 02:29:48,640
Speaker 5: historically good, okay, but my favorite way to attack this

3098
02:29:48,720 --> 02:29:53,120
Speaker 5: game is Look, I think I don't trust whether Alabama's

3099
02:29:53,120 --> 02:29:54,600
Speaker 5: and they get their scoring or not. But I do

3100
02:29:54,640 --> 02:29:57,640
Speaker 5: trust Connecticut they get their points. Alabama's poor defensively, you

3101
02:29:57,640 --> 02:30:00,680
Speaker 5: can get over eighty six points Yukon. I think Yukon

3102
02:30:01,040 --> 02:30:03,240
Speaker 5: gets in the nineties here, I really do. I think

3103
02:30:03,280 --> 02:30:08,400
Speaker 5: Alabama is putrid defensively. I think Connecticut will score and

3104
02:30:08,440 --> 02:30:11,120
Speaker 5: score and score some more. Aganst Alabama team can now

3105
02:30:11,160 --> 02:30:13,280
Speaker 5: bomb to keep up. I'm not going to pay to

3106
02:30:13,320 --> 02:30:14,960
Speaker 5: find out on that one. But I think Connecticut will

3107
02:30:14,959 --> 02:30:17,200
Speaker 5: score their points. I like Connecticut's team total over.

3108
02:30:17,879 --> 02:30:21,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a great play. Any individual props.

3109
02:30:21,840 --> 02:30:24,000
Speaker 5: No, no, there was no, no, nothing of the prop

3110
02:30:24,040 --> 02:30:26,840
Speaker 5: wise in that figure beame that I like, although again

3111
02:30:27,360 --> 02:30:31,120
Speaker 5: I would just say I would lean towards the Yukon

3112
02:30:32,000 --> 02:30:35,160
Speaker 5: players overs. You know, you'll give so many good players,

3113
02:30:35,200 --> 02:30:38,840
Speaker 5: you know, cling In Caravan, Spencer Newton. I mean, all

3114
02:30:38,879 --> 02:30:39,840
Speaker 5: these guys are good.

3115
02:30:40,120 --> 02:30:43,640
Speaker 3: You know Newton's do for a monster? You know that,

3116
02:30:43,800 --> 02:30:46,480
Speaker 3: what's that Newton's do for a monster?

3117
02:30:46,760 --> 02:30:50,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean no, Runner is sixteen and a half, Anthony,

3118
02:30:50,640 --> 02:30:53,199
Speaker 5: So I mean so they made it, you know, like

3119
02:30:53,200 --> 02:30:57,040
Speaker 5: like a pretty healthy toup number for him, but he

3120
02:30:57,160 --> 02:30:59,920
Speaker 5: certainly look for the year he averaged sixteen. So again

3121
02:31:00,280 --> 02:31:03,280
Speaker 5: they're giving a ten percent bump to the fact, which

3122
02:31:03,320 --> 02:31:07,800
Speaker 5: they should, that they're playing an high tempo game against

3123
02:31:08,040 --> 02:31:11,280
Speaker 5: you know, Alabama here. Uh, and Newton is only averaging

3124
02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:13,360
Speaker 5: fourteen in this tournament so far, but the only five

3125
02:31:13,360 --> 02:31:15,480
Speaker 5: points last game. But the only way I killing it again,

3126
02:31:15,640 --> 02:31:19,560
Speaker 5: there would not be one Yukon player from a scoring perspective, Anthony,

3127
02:31:19,680 --> 02:31:21,119
Speaker 5: that you're gonna tell me, I mean to be under

3128
02:31:21,280 --> 02:31:24,520
Speaker 5: not one, because I really would not be surprised if

3129
02:31:24,560 --> 02:31:27,760
Speaker 5: Yukon gets to even one hundred points. And so the

3130
02:31:27,760 --> 02:31:29,560
Speaker 5: only way I'm looking here it would be I mean

3131
02:31:29,600 --> 02:31:32,640
Speaker 5: every Yukon over in terms of the players individual points,

3132
02:31:32,720 --> 02:31:35,000
Speaker 5: maybe assists, because I think they will have a lot

3133
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:38,720
Speaker 5: of success essentially against in my opinion, a good luck.

3134
02:31:39,520 --> 02:31:42,440
Speaker 3: Like Dispatcher is going to get good looks like they're

3135
02:31:42,440 --> 02:31:44,280
Speaker 3: gonna be able to shoot. I think they'll be a

3136
02:31:44,640 --> 02:31:45,600
Speaker 3: great looks from three.

3137
02:31:46,840 --> 02:31:50,560
Speaker 5: Oh listen, I I don't, I don't disagree. And again

3138
02:31:50,600 --> 02:31:53,760
Speaker 5: this Uton team, and again you have listened. Spencer's really

3139
02:31:54,040 --> 02:31:55,720
Speaker 5: what I like about this team is that they really

3140
02:31:55,760 --> 02:31:58,120
Speaker 5: have like a lot of They just have such a

3141
02:31:58,160 --> 02:32:00,800
Speaker 5: balanced team, kind of like that Florida team as well.

3142
02:32:00,879 --> 02:32:03,040
Speaker 5: And look the Spencer for the year average fourteen and

3143
02:32:03,040 --> 02:32:05,600
Speaker 5: a half points they made as a under fifteen and

3144
02:32:05,640 --> 02:32:07,920
Speaker 5: a half. The only only way I look is the

3145
02:32:07,959 --> 02:32:11,680
Speaker 5: over now they made Klingon who averages only thirteen fifteen

3146
02:32:11,720 --> 02:32:14,160
Speaker 5: and a half. So I mean, to me, I think

3147
02:32:14,160 --> 02:32:16,160
Speaker 5: the Spencer one's the better play there, and I crent

3148
02:32:16,240 --> 02:32:19,920
Speaker 5: lean Newton over that as well too. In Caravan average

3149
02:32:19,959 --> 02:32:21,680
Speaker 5: thirteen and a half, they made him. They kept kids

3150
02:32:21,680 --> 02:32:25,520
Speaker 5: at thirteen and a half. So again, I do think

3151
02:32:25,560 --> 02:32:30,280
Speaker 5: that every single over for the Yukon you know team,

3152
02:32:30,400 --> 02:32:32,720
Speaker 5: when terms from a scoring perspective, is the only way

3153
02:32:32,720 --> 02:32:33,800
Speaker 5: I could personally look.

3154
02:32:34,680 --> 02:32:37,600
Speaker 2: Any concerns on shooting in a dome something Anthony pointed out.

3155
02:32:37,920 --> 02:32:41,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great point, said. See, it's interesting one

3156
02:32:41,520 --> 02:32:43,800
Speaker 5: of the things a lot of sharks used to you know,

3157
02:32:43,840 --> 02:32:47,640
Speaker 5: would be especially taking my first half under these Then

3158
02:32:47,680 --> 02:32:50,199
Speaker 5: it became baked in the line. Credit to the line makers,

3159
02:32:50,200 --> 02:32:53,440
Speaker 5: became baked into the line from that, obviously, shooting in

3160
02:32:53,440 --> 02:32:56,200
Speaker 5: like a football stadium not the same depth perception. Great

3161
02:32:56,240 --> 02:32:59,720
Speaker 5: point by you two. So yeah, but from that perspective, sure,

3162
02:32:59,760 --> 02:33:05,840
Speaker 5: But again, I just personally think that Alabama's defense is

3163
02:33:05,959 --> 02:33:10,480
Speaker 5: just I think it's really crazy bad. I do and

3164
02:33:10,520 --> 02:33:13,360
Speaker 5: I and I I just think Ukon will be incredibly

3165
02:33:13,360 --> 02:33:15,720
Speaker 5: efficient and be able to attack it. And again I

3166
02:33:15,760 --> 02:33:17,280
Speaker 5: think they're going to score a lot of points even

3167
02:33:17,320 --> 02:33:19,160
Speaker 5: with the dome situation.

3168
02:33:19,680 --> 02:33:23,080
Speaker 3: All right, real quick, I got it, I got like

3169
02:33:23,160 --> 02:33:27,640
Speaker 3: forty five seconds. Help you any props, Basel? And uh,

3170
02:33:27,680 --> 02:33:29,480
Speaker 3: how did people get a hold of you? Yeah?

3171
02:33:29,680 --> 02:33:33,160
Speaker 5: Brad's Best Bets dot Com, Brad's bets dot Com and

3172
02:33:33,200 --> 02:33:36,280
Speaker 5: on Twitter brats. That's that's up over two hundred units

3173
02:33:36,280 --> 02:33:38,240
Speaker 5: now betting one unit per game. I don'm not afraid

3174
02:33:38,240 --> 02:33:39,440
Speaker 5: to say, I don't think any one of the world's

3175
02:33:39,480 --> 02:33:43,480
Speaker 5: doing this in the entire world. Carlos Carrasco love under

3176
02:33:43,480 --> 02:33:45,760
Speaker 5: five and they have strike ups. Listen, miss guys, twenty

3177
02:33:46,000 --> 02:33:49,840
Speaker 5: in one is last twenty one twenty and one. Love it.

3178
02:33:49,879 --> 02:33:52,360
Speaker 5: I also love Carlos Carrasco over four and anth hits

3179
02:33:52,480 --> 02:33:54,000
Speaker 5: given up one hundred and twenty one hits the last

3180
02:33:54,040 --> 02:33:56,560
Speaker 5: ninety five innings. I don't understand how these numbers were

3181
02:33:56,560 --> 02:33:58,600
Speaker 5: the post of the way they do, but whatever, I'll

3182
02:33:58,600 --> 02:34:01,400
Speaker 5: take advantage of it. Davis over two and half assis

3183
02:34:01,480 --> 02:34:04,000
Speaker 5: is quite good, forty seven and twenty five to that,

3184
02:34:04,480 --> 02:34:07,320
Speaker 5: Donovan Mitchell over four e halp assists the averaging six

3185
02:34:07,360 --> 02:34:09,480
Speaker 5: at sist a game twenty seven and seven is last

3186
02:34:09,480 --> 02:34:12,560
Speaker 5: thirty four, and Donovan Mitchell over three manth rebounds averaging

3187
02:34:12,600 --> 02:34:15,440
Speaker 5: over five rebounds thirty seven and fifteen is last fifty two.

3188
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:20,400
Speaker 3: Uh, fantastic, Thank you, my brother the big brain. We

3200
02:35:05,160 --> 02:35:10,560
Speaker 4: We appreciate that. I Boyce. We've gotten back to that point.

3201
02:35:12,080 --> 02:35:15,160
Speaker 3: Where we like to say, what are we watching over

3202
02:35:15,200 --> 02:35:18,280
Speaker 3: the weekend, the whole thing, And obviously we're watching the

3203
02:35:18,320 --> 02:35:22,480
Speaker 3: final for us, let's kind of go through it. Who

3204
02:35:22,520 --> 02:35:25,279
Speaker 3: do you like in the final in the women's final

3205
02:35:25,360 --> 02:35:27,440
Speaker 3: tomorrow and how does that play out?

3206
02:35:28,560 --> 02:35:31,280
Speaker 2: I like South Carolina. I mean, look, this is a

3207
02:35:31,320 --> 02:35:34,080
Speaker 2: little like Yukon. We're so obsessed on the men's side,

3208
02:35:34,120 --> 02:35:36,520
Speaker 2: I should say, we're so obsessed with the greatness of

3209
02:35:36,520 --> 02:35:39,320
Speaker 2: a particular player that we're not talking about the greatness

3210
02:35:39,320 --> 02:35:41,400
Speaker 2: of a team. Right in South Carolina, a little bit

3211
02:35:41,440 --> 02:35:43,400
Speaker 2: like Yukon's had a few moments in the tournament where

3212
02:35:43,400 --> 02:35:45,840
Speaker 2: they've been challenged and they've gotten through it. I think

3213
02:35:45,879 --> 02:35:49,720
Speaker 2: it's interesting that Yukon really was able defensively to just

3214
02:35:50,080 --> 02:35:53,240
Speaker 2: smother and cover Caitlin for so much of that game.

3215
02:35:53,440 --> 02:35:55,800
Speaker 2: Took her a minute to get going. South Carolina is

3216
02:35:55,920 --> 02:35:59,080
Speaker 2: a deeper team. Yukon fell out of gas, so I

3217
02:35:59,240 --> 02:36:02,080
Speaker 2: left a little bit out at the end of that game,

3218
02:36:02,120 --> 02:36:04,600
Speaker 2: I think defensively, So I don't think that happens to

3219
02:36:04,680 --> 02:36:06,560
Speaker 2: South Carolina. I think their role, I think probably the

3220
02:36:06,680 --> 02:36:07,920
Speaker 2: role pretty convincingly there.

3221
02:36:08,760 --> 02:36:10,880
Speaker 8: I agree. And also it's a revenge game for them.

3222
02:36:10,920 --> 02:36:13,200
Speaker 9: They lost to Iowa in the semi final last season,

3223
02:36:13,280 --> 02:36:16,000
Speaker 9: so and I think, similar to Purdue, they've kind of

3224
02:36:16,000 --> 02:36:18,440
Speaker 9: been on a mission all season along, you know, to

3225
02:36:18,520 --> 02:36:21,080
Speaker 9: prove their medal and say like, we're a championship level

3226
02:36:21,080 --> 02:36:22,360
Speaker 9: club and nothing's going to stop this.

3227
02:36:22,440 --> 02:36:22,640
Speaker 3: Does it.

3228
02:36:22,720 --> 02:36:24,800
Speaker 9: Not have a loss at this point in time at

3229
02:36:24,800 --> 02:36:28,800
Speaker 9: this level is insane? So uh, yeah, I got I

3230
02:36:28,800 --> 02:36:30,520
Speaker 9: got South Carolina win in and I don't know if

3231
02:36:30,520 --> 02:36:32,880
Speaker 9: i'd say they'd win easily, but I could see them

3232
02:36:32,879 --> 02:36:34,880
Speaker 9: winning between seven and eight points down the stretch.

3233
02:36:35,920 --> 02:36:39,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I could see the same thing.

3234
02:36:39,080 --> 02:36:42,680
Speaker 3: I think, where it's a closer game and then they

3235
02:36:42,760 --> 02:36:43,880
Speaker 3: kind of pull away at the end.

3236
02:36:44,000 --> 02:36:47,920
Speaker 2: Right, I see if I double digits, I'm giving it doubles.

3237
02:36:48,760 --> 02:36:52,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, either way, it'll be remarkable to pull off

3238
02:36:52,200 --> 02:36:54,199
Speaker 9: an undefeated season in today's climate.

3239
02:36:54,400 --> 02:36:57,520
Speaker 4: Oh my god. And it's a great coach.

3240
02:37:00,080 --> 02:37:04,560
Speaker 3: Great coach I Noah from Temple and uh, you know,

3241
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:08,439
Speaker 3: she was terrific. The only thing, you know, what's interesting

3242
02:37:08,800 --> 02:37:12,840
Speaker 3: is that I was having a conversation with my with

3243
02:37:12,879 --> 02:37:16,080
Speaker 3: my buddy last night and he just went on he

3244
02:37:16,240 --> 02:37:22,280
Speaker 3: was railing on all coaches, like right now, and he

3245
02:37:22,480 --> 02:37:27,039
Speaker 3: was railing on It started with Danny Hurley and then

3246
02:37:27,040 --> 02:37:29,680
Speaker 3: he was on Mulki and then he was on Dawn

3247
02:37:30,800 --> 02:37:35,400
Speaker 3: and it's like, you know, the self importance. And I

3248
02:37:35,440 --> 02:37:38,680
Speaker 3: was trying to think, like he's like, you know, and

3249
02:37:38,959 --> 02:37:40,920
Speaker 3: he's a Stone Temple guy, so it's a big deal

3250
02:37:40,959 --> 02:37:44,040
Speaker 3: in the Big Five, right. He doesn't like Villanova and

3251
02:37:45,320 --> 02:37:47,640
Speaker 3: it's like this ride you can imagine usc U c

3252
02:37:47,760 --> 02:37:50,599
Speaker 3: L a type of thing and all that, and he

3253
02:37:50,600 --> 02:37:53,520
Speaker 3: he's like, it makes me miss Jay Wright. And because

3254
02:37:53,600 --> 02:37:56,000
Speaker 3: Jay was like all class and the whole thing, and

3255
02:37:56,000 --> 02:38:01,040
Speaker 3: and do you find these coaches are are are even

3256
02:38:01,120 --> 02:38:04,480
Speaker 3: more self important now. I mean, MOLTI is a different

3257
02:38:04,520 --> 02:38:05,400
Speaker 3: type of you know.

3258
02:38:05,600 --> 02:38:08,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't even know if it's self important though,

3259
02:38:08,400 --> 02:38:09,600
Speaker 9: but I mean, gohe that.

3260
02:38:09,680 --> 02:38:14,240
Speaker 2: I think I think coaches understand that personality matters in

3261
02:38:14,320 --> 02:38:17,920
Speaker 2: the new basketball climate, particularly so like you got to

3262
02:38:17,959 --> 02:38:19,879
Speaker 2: be out there, you got to be like it was

3263
02:38:19,959 --> 02:38:22,760
Speaker 2: locker room dances and then it was pop and bottles,

3264
02:38:22,760 --> 02:38:24,520
Speaker 2: and then it's you know, are you willing to say

3265
02:38:24,560 --> 02:38:27,480
Speaker 2: the things that take the attention at the at the podium,

3266
02:38:27,520 --> 02:38:29,680
Speaker 2: Like I think it's kind of a combination of all that.

3267
02:38:29,760 --> 02:38:32,440
Speaker 2: But honestly, I think that's what kids want right now,

3268
02:38:32,520 --> 02:38:35,959
Speaker 2: and so it doesn't really matter what alumni want, or

3269
02:38:35,959 --> 02:38:39,040
Speaker 2: what reporters want, or what other coaches want. I think

3270
02:38:39,120 --> 02:38:41,480
Speaker 2: right now, if you're out in the living rooms, you

3271
02:38:41,560 --> 02:38:43,320
Speaker 2: got to connect with kids. And the way you connect

3272
02:38:43,360 --> 02:38:45,959
Speaker 2: with kids is you know you're worth and you're very

3273
02:38:46,240 --> 02:38:48,600
Speaker 2: You're you're willing to step up and make a statement

3274
02:38:48,640 --> 02:38:50,640
Speaker 2: about that across the way. I think that's the future

3275
02:38:50,680 --> 02:38:51,200
Speaker 2: of sports.

3276
02:38:51,360 --> 02:38:53,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, and if you're gonna be able to connect with kids,

3277
02:38:53,160 --> 02:38:55,120
Speaker 9: you're probably going to be a little bit eccentric to

3278
02:38:55,120 --> 02:38:57,480
Speaker 9: a certain degree, or you know, opinionated.

3279
02:38:57,560 --> 02:38:58,959
Speaker 8: You know, so I don't have a problem with that.

3280
02:38:59,400 --> 02:39:01,200
Speaker 9: I had a problem with Kim Moulk the way that

3281
02:39:01,280 --> 02:39:03,600
Speaker 9: she coached the other night, just leaving Harley van Lit

3282
02:39:03,640 --> 02:39:06,360
Speaker 9: out to drive the entire night. Have questions about that

3283
02:39:06,520 --> 02:39:09,000
Speaker 9: from a coaching tactic standpoint, However, they don't have a

3284
02:39:09,040 --> 02:39:11,160
Speaker 9: problem with anything any of the coaches are doing or

3285
02:39:11,160 --> 02:39:11,720
Speaker 9: how they act.

3286
02:39:11,879 --> 02:39:14,519
Speaker 2: I have more of a problem of the over exacerbated.

3287
02:39:14,600 --> 02:39:17,320
Speaker 2: Oh my god, every time there's a foul, like just once,

3288
02:39:17,360 --> 02:39:19,800
Speaker 2: I want to go, well that is like that's all, Yeah,

3289
02:39:19,840 --> 02:39:21,160
Speaker 2: that's all. That was probably a good call.

3290
02:39:21,280 --> 02:39:25,440
Speaker 3: Je Yeah yeah, Now all right, So we are in

3291
02:39:25,640 --> 02:39:31,920
Speaker 3: on a Yukon Purdue final, and does you give Purdue

3292
02:39:31,920 --> 02:39:32,480
Speaker 3: any chance?

3293
02:39:32,920 --> 02:39:34,880
Speaker 2: Now you come into my double digits there too?

3294
02:39:35,160 --> 02:39:35,920
Speaker 3: Blowouts?

3295
02:39:36,200 --> 02:39:38,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, maybe that went by twenty. Maybe they win by sixteen.

3296
02:39:42,080 --> 02:39:45,600
Speaker 10: Sorry, Zach Edy, and you love it.

3297
02:39:46,200 --> 02:39:49,680
Speaker 3: You might be the only Zach Edy Fanny. I hope

3298
02:39:49,720 --> 02:39:50,160
Speaker 3: I'm wrong.

3299
02:39:50,520 --> 02:39:52,359
Speaker 2: It's gonna be Zach easy.

3300
02:39:52,080 --> 02:39:55,480
Speaker 3: For Oh, that's fantastic.
