00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: WWE manager. He could be like, yeah, it's like rest

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: with the suit how he wears and the you know,

Speaker 1: the big high collars and the cuffs were always out

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: of his show. Like he looks like he can walk

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: around calling people a pencil net geek and you pencil

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: net geek, and you're a pencil net geek, and you're

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: a pencil net geek. Like I watch him like it's

25
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: like I'm watching in WWE manager coach of college basketball.

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: Seems like we could create a character in this year

27
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six that is a long lost descendant of

28
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: classy Freddie Blast. Yeah, and I'll tell you to keep

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: the narrative up. And they get to play Illinois Saturday.

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: Who's going to be pissed because Illinois could be losing

31
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 1: the Bears. They're going to take their frustrations out on UCLA.

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,800

34
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: I think it was eighty to forty at one point.

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: It was not good. I think the final score is

36
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,480

125
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: want to give you about the Olympics is that watching

126
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: the cover. This is about the coverage that we've seen.

127
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: First part. It's really something to see how pro Canada,

128
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: the NBC Mike too Rico led coverage, the United States

129
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: led coverage is of the Olympics. Like anytime there's a

130
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: Canadian athlete involved, it's almost like, hey, it's like it's

131
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: like an American athlete. Like the love to Canada is

132
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: really weird. Yeah, generally generally, and I guess, hey, we're

133
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: where you know where you where your border. We want

134
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: to be friends. But it's weird. I mean, you know,

135
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: obviously part of it, you know what the political climate

136
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: is and who knows it. Just it's just really weird.

137
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: How I feel like the Canadian athletes, Like it's been

138
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 1: so pro Canada, Like all the announcers say wonderful things

139
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 1: about all the athletes that are big in different sports,

140
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: and they shook it says this is a celebration of sport.

141
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's a little bit a little

142
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: over the top for Cata, like he's oh, hey and

143
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: here it comes cat Oh okay, all right, all right,

144
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: we we we have we have this is this is

145
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: a big deal now apparently, like I just get kind

146
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: of sense that from the coverage looking for a little

147
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: free entry at the border in cases needed to have

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: some they want to make make the run, they need

149
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: some syrup something. I don't know. Yeah, you know what,

150
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800

00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 1: Paul Shaffer, you know, it's from Canada, and it was,

156
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: uh it was. It was Letterman and Paul Schaeffer dressed

157
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: like they were from the future. And Letterman says, hey,

158
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: we got an updated on our our friends in the North,

159
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, after the War of ninety six when we

160
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: had to redo all the boundaries. And he was wearing

161
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: like a because apparently in the in you know, the eighties, nineties,

162
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: two thousands, people thought people in the future were gonna

163
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: wear a lot of uh turtlenecks. Sure the future was

164
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: turtlenecks or all turnlex. But you know, you see the

165
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: loss run, you see the love for Canada and I

166
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: and that's great. But then a little bit I started

167
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: watching some of the international coverage, right, CBC has international coverage,

168
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: other other outlets have international coverage, and it really brings

169
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: home the Olympics to you in that like, Okay, we

170
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: watched the Olympics coverage and watched the Mike Tico lead

171
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: coverage for everybody in Channel four and everybody going on,

172
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: and obviously, yeah, we get a lot of the American

173
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: athletes and then they're there because you know, we get

174
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: their stories, we get and when we get everything going

175
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: on with them, and a lot of them are very

176
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: very popular. Okay, great, And then you get the international

177
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: coverage and it's like, yeah, the American athletes are just

178
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: a small part of what's going on. And and it's

179
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: here's here's we're going to go in depth on this

180
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: Japanese figure skater that maybe you don't know about, or

181
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: here's this Italy biathlon er, or here's why Norway is

182
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: winning so much, and and and and part of it.

183
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: You go, man, I really want to see more coverage

184
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: of of our you know, I want to see how

185
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: our athletes are doing. But at the same time, like, wow,

186
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: this is interesting, Like I would have never known this

187
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: about some of these athletes, not that they don't spend

188
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: their time talking about them, but you only go into

189
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: so much depth when Okay, hey we're talking figure skating,

190
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: and yeah, we're gonna give a lot of attention to

191
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: Alyssa Lou and Amber Glenn because they're the big This

192
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: is why people are watching United States coverage going on here. Okay,

193
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: so you get all of that Alyssa Lou, Amber Glenn,

194
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,319
Speaker 1: but you don't get hardly anything from the other figure skaters,

195
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: or you just get a quick mention of someone in

196
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: the speed skating event. Meanwhile, it's it's all about the

197
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: Netherlands speed skaters and and okay, and it's really just

198
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: jarring to watch when when you sit there and because

199
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: it makes you think, boy, the United States. I love

200
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: to feel how self important we are. We have all

201
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: these athletes a nation of three hundred and sixty million people,

202
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: and then I watch Olympics and go, yeah, we're just

203
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: like one part of what's going on. And if we

204
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: don't have an athlete that finishes it in the metal

205
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: that's a story. It's like, yeah, we're going on to

206
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: something else. No, But that's the thing, right is it's

207
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: all a matter of the lens that you view things through.

208
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: Me being you know, the first half of my year

209
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: is in Chicago. The Indiana hits much differently than it

210
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: does to someone who just says, ah, whatever, they're gonna

211
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: play football, just get on with it. But when it

212
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: comes to this, each of those nations they're prideful of,

213
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: however many athletes they have. We have the you know,

214
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: entrance the nations might be four people. Jamaican Bob sled

215
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: team breaks through because of the movie and everything else

216
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: after all these years and qualifying and participating this year.

217
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: But otherwise, yeah, it's gonna be localized to whatever your

218
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: nation is, or if you're in the European Union, maybe

219
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: that gets a little more breadth of coverage beyond you know,

220
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: your individual country. But but yeah, certainly in the US,

221
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 1: it's all pro USA, pro ussay all the time. It's

222
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: like there might be a great story that cuts through,

223
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Hey you would believe this athlete not expected to meddle,

224
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: but and they'll get the moment, their thirty seconds or whatever.

225
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: They don't get the full horn section, the string section

226
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: and tom R and all the over overlay. No, you

227
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: don't get that. You don't get. Here's Jimmy Roberts with

228
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: a very special story about this Olympic athlete where he's

229
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: literally walking in front of a string quartet. Yeah. Yeah,

230
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: once he starts to you know, upbringing in in certain country.

231
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Here for this athlete, this athlete, this United States athlete

232
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: is very special. They're actually not from Earth. They came

233
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: from a different planet like Superman. Their lineage has not

234
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: been proven, but I have seen this person squat five

235
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: thousand pounds and their eyes turn into lizards. Let's go

236
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 1: back to you in the booth. Well, I'll tell you

237
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: that lizard's eyes are going to really help you here

238
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: on this biath line. Really, you want to talk about

239
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: the breathing you need to get up and down this hill,

240
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: those lizard eyes. Really, if you can breathe out of

241
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: your mouth and out of your eyelids like in Men

242
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: in Black, this is gonna really help you. Don't forget

243
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: every fourth Saturday we have instead of Saturday Night Live,

244
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: we have WWE Presents. I mean, it really is. It's

245
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: a little humbling and it's it's it's more makes you

246
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: makes you think about It makes you think about just

247
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: how big the Olympics is because you get stories about, Hey,

248
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: we're in Italy and here's the money that was spent

249
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: on the Olympics, and here's all the athletes who are there,

250
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: and you get the scope of it. But you really

251
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: like the United States. It makes you feel really small,

252
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: like they're like there's a really big world out there

253
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: that you know, we we don't have any saying that.

254
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: Everybody gets along much pretty fine without us, right, Like,

255
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, Norway has the most metal. How does Norway

256
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: they have? They're covered under ice. You can't get out

257
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: and do anything. They have the country of five thousand.

258
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: You have to go and learn how to ski. I

259
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: mean your own luge rams down your neighborhood. Hey, I

260
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: want to go see Knucklehead Billy, the biggest city in

261
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: Norway has eight hundred people in it and they're winning

262
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: all these goal the cross country skiing. This time, Mom,

263
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: I did last time I went and saw Billy. I really,

264
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, how is Norway at the time? You know

265
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: what they call all the other losers. What do they

266
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: call the losers? Frostburg off the top rope. At least

267
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: he didn't raise his voice, so I think that's fine.

268
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: It's on camera, everybody can see it. Dude, dude, dude,

269
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: that's the worst question ever. Congratulations. I liked that he

270

Speaker 1: called the dude. Yeah, exit out out of Fresca. Exitswall

00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: no parade. I watched it. Did you create an AI

302
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: parade for yourself the parade? Did you do it with

303
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,480

307
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: you can save it for posterity. I'm working on, you know,

308
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: more video of a Brad Pitt Tom Cruise fight. Then

309
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: put that out there and just you know, make sure

310
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: that Hollywood can't do movies anymore. It just has gone final.

311
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Chris STAPs porzingis off the bench, ingu City the lot

312
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: be in dirt, poor lot Be and sean five out

313
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: of nine, twelve points and seventeen minutes, helping the Golden

314
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: State Warriors to only lose by eleven. The Celtics win

315
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: it one twenty one to one ten. Jalen Brown twenty three.

316
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: Peyton Pritchard off the bench. You know people say he's

317
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, he could be the next Caitlyn Clark. Peyton

318
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: Pritchard off the bench, twenty six points in thirty three minutes,

319
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: six out of eleven from three point range. He goes

320
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: twenty six, seven and six in thirty three minutes. Getting

321
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: after it pretty question about it, I'm answered, I mean,

322
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: look at that Reggie Miller's going. See, I wasn't slamming

323
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: Kitton Clark when I said, to your mind to me

324
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: a Peyton Pritchard six Man of the Year, I mean,

325
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: what do you want I mean ten of eighteen from

326
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: the field, six and eleven from three point range. Getting

327
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: all those dimes from Jalen Brown who went for twenty three,

328
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: fifteen and thirteen motivated, still pissed at Beverly Hills. Yes

329
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: he is. Yeah, he he took it to the court tonight. Yeah, yeah, Lake,

330
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: he took it to the courts. Lakers better hope they

331
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: don't face the Celtics in the NBA Finals because he's

332
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna bring stuff back from that party. He's gonna be

333
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: very upset. Oh yeah, Well, okay, Beverly Hills, I got

334
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: a little something something for you. Is he gonna send

335
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: him a bill after that half ass apology? What I'll

336
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: go see Barnard Thompson at the Regent Beverly Wilson. We'll

337
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: see see how that works the Regent, Beverley Wilson. You

338
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: are mistakes, niece, Yes, correct, Yes, huge. So Celtics win

339
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: and showing you that all right after the break, doesn't

340
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum know? Jason Tatum, we are in good shape.

341
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Not so much for the Knicks. No, no, yeah, I

342
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: mean you had a rupt night. Look the marquee game

343
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 1: of the night tonight, the Pistons beat the Knicks and

344
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: at Madison Square Garden and it was never close. The

345
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: Pistons get to a ten point lead at halftime. Karl

346
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns has a horrendous first half with two points,

347
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Kate Cunningham goes for forty and the Pistons

348
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: win going away, showing you that, yes, we are the

349
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 1: best team in the Eastern Conference. If you had a

350
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: doubt that the Pistons were the best team, this should

351
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: put it all to rest right now. This is the

352
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: Knicks coming off of rest. Hey, you know you want

353
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: to send a message, especially at home, and the Pistons

354
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: come in and say, you know what, doesn't even matter.

355
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: We are just blowing right by you. One twenty six,

356
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: one eleven. And this is where it's at right now

357
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons are kind of the

358
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: Knicks Pacers of last year, the last couple years, Nicks

359
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: and the Pacers right Whereas the Pacers get up more

360
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 1: for the Knicks than any other team. They see them

361
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: as their big rival. They love playing them, they love

362
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: beating them. Other teams maybe not so much, but for

363
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: some reason they get up against the Knicks and you

364
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: see the success the Pacers have had the last couple

365
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: of years. That's kind of what I'm seeing with the

366
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Pistons over the last season plus. Right, the Knicks knocked

367
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 1: the Pistons out of the playoffs. They're pissed. They're even

368
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: a better team they were a year ago. They're deeper

369
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: every time they play the Knicks. This is the effort

370
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: we're giving you. We are going all out to smoke you.

371
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: And Cunningham goes for forty and we love but we

372
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 1: see the Knicks as the number one team we got

373
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 1: to get past in the Eastern Conference. They're our biggest competition.

374
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: So we get up to play the Knicks and I

375
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: see it and I just go, man, it's never easy

376
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: for the next right, it's never easy, and honestly, where

377
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: I'm at right now, because you know they have issues

378
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: certain game teams and matchups in the playoffs when we

379
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: get there. We say the same thing every year because

380
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: it's true, good matchups teams can be okay going home,

381
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: So it doesn't and it doesn't matter if you're playing

382
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: a team, Hey, they finished one game above you in

383
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: the regular season, or one game above another team he

384
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: would have been playing somebody else. Playoffs is all about matchups.

385
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: I do not want to see the Pistons in the playoffs.

386
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: If I have to see them, okay, but maybe I

387
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: won't see them till the finals, till to the Eastern

388
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: Conference finals and things are different. Maybe they won't make it,

389
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: maybe we won't make it. But I mean, honestly, the

390
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: one team I do not want to see in the

391
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: playoffs and the Pistons because they always seem to have

392
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: that extra special sauce for the Knicks. And if you

393
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: think they're not the elite team and they're not the

394
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: overwhelming favorites to get to the NBA Finals, I know

395
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: the general consensus is, yeah, the Pistons are great, but

396
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: are they really great? Are they regular season good? They're

397
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna fall apart in the playoffs the first time? No,

398
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: they made the playoffs last year. They got enough of

399
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: the taste to understand, Hey, we disappointed. We could have

400
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 1: beaten the Knicks. We had leads in these games. We'd

401
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: let them hang around. We are a better team, we

402
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: are deeper. We made trades the deadline. No, the era

403
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: of the Pistons is back in the East in conference.

404
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: We're announcing ourselves this year the Pistons right now. The Pistons,

405
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: if they're not in the NBA Finals, that is a surprise.

406
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: As good as some of the other teams are coming

407
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: up in the Eastern Conference, the Pistons are just loaded everywhere.

408
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: And I don't care if they're young, I don't this

409
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 1: is what's going to see you through the playoffs. If

410
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: they're not in the NBA Finals, I am surprised. You

411
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: want to make me, make you feel even worse, gohead,

412
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 1: I don't know how, but go ahead. They were missing

413
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: their centers because they were both suspended. Now, Stuart's availability

414
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: is one of those things on a day to day basis,

415
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: we will have to you never really know when you're

416
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: gaving him. So there is when he's there. Yeah, but

417
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: he keeps you, keeps you on your toes and kill

418
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 1: the opponent. They know how to play without him, are

419
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: without him. Yeah, So as seven game suspension. By the way,

420
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: Stuart ahead of the break because of the fight during

421
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: as well. But now you look at the squad three

422
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: to zero for the season series, and this was a

423
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: game that even middle of the third quarter, you guys

424
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: were still in it. Your Knicks squad, despite the fact

425
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: that they couldn't hit the broad side of the barn

426
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: from the outside, they were miserable. At one point I

427
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: think it was two of twenty from three point range,

428
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: eventually six of thirty one or thereabouts for the game.

429
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: But I think it's one of those Well we look

430
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: into contrasting styles and depth from what you can they

431
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 1: can get out and run Nicks not so much because

432
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: you do have those defensive liabilities that as much as

433
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: you can bottle them up for a while, game like this,

434
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: it kind of takes off right and suddenly they got

435
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: to move their feet a bit more, and it becomes

436
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: do you have enough depth and do you have enough

437
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: of that rotation off the bench that's going to be

438
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: able to plug those gaps? And the answers, no, no,

439
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 1: you don't. And over a seven game series, the thing

440
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 1: that you hope is that you can get it into

441
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: what is historically not quite the nineties Eastern Conference playoffs,

442
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,199
Speaker 1: but that it slows down to where between officiating and

443
00:21:55,240 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: your ability to match up physically, maybe maybe that you

444
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: a bit to where you can steal a game or two.

445
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: But if it gets into a little bit of a

446
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: track meet, as it did today, yeah they're cooked. Yeah, No,

447
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: look again, I'll admit when there's a team I really

448
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: don't want to see and I'm hoping to avoid them,

449
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: and you never know, you never know how the playoffs

450
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 1: are gonna go. And I'm hoping that the Knicks can

451
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: finish second so they wouldn't see them until allegedly the

452
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals, because if they finished third, they're seeing

453
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: him in the second round and good luck, especially not

454
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 1: having home court advantage. But this is a year of

455
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: great transition in the Eastern Conference, right, this is this

456
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: is one of those Like the NFL, this year was

457
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of like a gap year. Right. The Seahawks win

458
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl over the Patriots. Do we really the

459
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Seahawks are are are our year in, year year out team. Hey,

460
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna make a couple of more Super Bowls. The

461
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: Patriots getting back. They're no a weird year, right, Mahomes

462
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: got hurt, The Chiefs weren't good. Bill's got knocked out

463
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. We didn't in the NFC, the Rams lost.

464
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: The Eagles are the champs and they got knocked out,

465
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: Like we didn't. We didn't see a lot of things

466
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: as we generally get to see because usually, hey, we

467
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: see the same cast of characters in the playoffs moving

468
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: on to super Bowls, there's not a lot of differentiation.

469
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: But once in a while you get a gap year

470
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: where okay, it's a year of change and we get

471
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: a super Bowl like Seattle in New England. In the

472
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, now this is a year of transition. Right,

473
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: we don't know what a lot of teams are going

474
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 1: to be, but you can see some of the teams

475
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 1: start to rise in the Eastern Conference, right like Philadelphia

476
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: is gonna start rising. They're already pretty good, they're not great,

477
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: and they're not going to really go that far this year.

478
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: But after they get past the embiid situation of this year,

479
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: they're built on Maxi and Edgecomb. Who's going to have

480
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: a second year not being a rookie, not hitting the

481
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: rookie wall that you know is you know, happens to everybody.

482
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: They're going to be better, or Landa looks like they're

483
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: getting better. Cleveland has figured out their problems. Boston in

484
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: a year you thought it was going to be transitioned

485
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: for them. Now it's hey, we're just as good without

486
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum. We can trade that dude in the offseason

487
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: and get something else we need. We're completely good built

488
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: around Jalen Brown in this cast of characters, and boy,

489
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: can really go get something else for Jason Tatum or

490
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: Tatum comes back and now you're Voltron. And then you

491
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: have the Pistons who are becoming the best team in

492
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: the East because of their youth and their talent and

493
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: their depth. Hey, eventually, when you start drafting at the

494
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:11,399
Speaker 1: top of the draft long enough, you're gonna hit on

495
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: some way. Wait wait, wait, don't tell that to the

496
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: anti tanking committee. So this is a year of great

497
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: transition where you can see the teams that are rise

498
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: in coming out. So and for the Knicks, this is

499
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: the last year that the window for this team is open.

500
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: I know, we want to think of Hey, the last

501
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: couple of years have been great. It's fun. The Knicks

502
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: are good. Right, I'm excited because the Knicks have been

503
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: good for the first time in forever. But really, their

504
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: quote championship window has been open for three years. You know,

505
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: it got opened three years ago. They made the playoffs

506
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: and they got knocked out in the second round. It

507
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: was oh wow, Okay, then last year the window was

508
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: wide open in the East. They should have been there,

509
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: but they found a way to choke against the Pacers,

510
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: and now it's the hands are on top of the sill,

511
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: getting ready to shut the window. Because if the Knicks

512
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: don't get to the finals this year, it's hey, we

513
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: made it as far as we could with this group.

514
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: It's the same for three years now. So it's gonna

515
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: be the Knicks fighting the Lakers for Giannis in the offseason.

516
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be we can't make it. Karl Anthony

517
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Towns and Brunson aren't working. Maybe it's mcal Bridges isn't working.

518
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: Maybe Ogianunobi, who we love them, but he's in and

519
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,959
Speaker 1: out of the lineup too much. We got to get

520
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: out from under this money and bring in something else,

521
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna be big change for the Knicks after

522
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: this year. So you look at these two teams that

523
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: we say, hey, two of these three, between the two

524
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: of them and Boston, we should be in the Eastern

525
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 1: Conference finals. I don't know, man. Then the Knicks show

526
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: me that, hey, there's certain teams they can't beat. But

527
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: they are at the end of this window. This is

528
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: not the first year of opportunity. This is this window

529
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: was shut for them. And it's opening for other teams

530
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, the curiosity of the constitution of these squads.

531
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: While we won't have a huge shuffle up and deal

532
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: kind of moment with the top end of rotations, certainly

533
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: enough of those ancillarity players will make a difference when

534
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: watching in Cleveland. You know, is Lebron going back there?

535
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: What does that mean for rotations? What is he? What

536
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: are they? Defensively was on the court. It's like we

537
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: watch with the Lakers now, ceiling could be big. Unfortunately,

538
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: defensively they don't play consistently enough now to get you

539
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: over the top and trying to navigate the West? Is

540
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: really that next level? You look at it right now.

541
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham third favorite for the MVP at seven to one.

542
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: The next from the east is Jalen Brown. What is he?

543
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: He is currently sixty to one shove. I'll tell you

544
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: he's number one on my list. I don't know why

545
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: he's not higher. The Celtics lost their best player. We

546
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: thought he was their best player. No, we're now around me.

547
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm the best player. The king is dead, Long live

548
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 1: the King. I'm the king estle. This is this is

549
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: like that scene in Breaking Bad when Jesse's girlfriend Jesse

550
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: Jesse couldn't tell his girlfriend about mister White. You know,

551
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: he's my partner and he's you know, I've been with

552
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: me so long. Mister White's my partner. And she says, hey,

553
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: blank him, I'm your partner. Well, yeah, there's something that

554
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: Oh I'm the captain now, okay, Kristin Ridder, you're my partner, okay,

555
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 1: which is why spoiler alert, Well, you know what happened,

556
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: And that's when that's when I knew when Walt crossed

557
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: to the dark side. That was that moment with that story,

558
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: that plot line with her. That was the moment where

559
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: he's unredeemable. That's where you knew he was or irredeemable, irredeemable,

560
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: irredeemable evil. He was irredeemable, yes, after that, And that was,

561
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: I mean, such a great scene when he's gonna put

562
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: the hand on many then he pulls it back, realizing

563
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: all my problems go away if this I mean, that

564
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:25,959
Speaker 1: was all what a great scene. Yeah. No, the tension

565
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: Israel Sga Jokic, Cunningham, Luca is fourth, when Minyama fifth,

566
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown sixth. But yeah, the Eastern Conference will uh

567
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 1: no doubt have n upheaval. I don't think you're necessarily

568
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: done yet, but there will be a bunch of retooling

569
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: and the names will not be the same. Cat will

570
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: be in another city, no question about it. Exit out

571
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: about a Fresco exit Swollen down The Jason Smith Show

572
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon time go to find

573
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: out what's trending in the wide world of sports with

574
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: someone who's been called the Karl Anthony Towns of Fox

575
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Yeah, because they both kind of just watched

576
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,000

577
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,119

578
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 4: little bit, you know, like it.

579
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: Was on in the background. You had no points and

580
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: Kat had two points exactly.

581
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 4: Okay, exactly, So we are really like so close to

582
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 4: being one and the same. The Clippers are making it

583
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: come back. How about that they are still losing Thought

584

Speaker 4: Into a Dome to the Nuggets ninety two to eighty seven.

585
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,800

00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 4: and Kevin Durant had thirty five points. Despite all those

612
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 4: burner allegations, he don't care how many burners does he have?

613
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Did you? What does he have more points tonight or

614
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: burners close?

615
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say he has more points, but not by

616
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: a lot.

617
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: Okay, now by maybe thirty five points and thirty burners exactly,

618
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: So he had a thirty five thirty nights exactly. That's

619
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: a press over the Hornets.

620
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: One oh five to one oh one was the final score.

621
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: Their other NBA news well, Commissioner Adam Silver did tell

622
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 2: all the league's gms that there will be anti tanking

623
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: rules in place for next season. At the Winter Olympics,

624
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: the US women's hockey team defeated Canada two to one

625
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 2: and overtime to win the gold medal. Twenty year old

626
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: American Alyssa Lou won the gold medal and women's figure skating,

627
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 2: the first American to claim gold since two thousand and two.

628
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: In baseball, the Brewers signed manager Pat Murphy to a

629
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: three year deal with the club.

630
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: Option in twenty twenty nine, and are the Bears gonna move?

631
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know.

632
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: Maybe, but an Indiana House committee unanimously passed the Stadium

633
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 4: Authority Bill to try and lure the Bears to build

634
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 4: their new stadium in northwest Indiana. And if those renderings

635
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 4: were real, it looked fancy.

636
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: The Northwest Indiana Chicago Bears.

637
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: It looks fancy. I don't want that for you. Because

638
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: the Clippers moved in state and I hated it.

639
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: They moved like five months was awful. You have your

640
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: own place. I wit it. You have the wall. You

641
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: have the wall. Wanted to James Harden. You have the wall.

642
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: I hate it.

643
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 4: I wish we were still in downtown. It was a

644
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 4: lot easier to get to in and out of. Traffic

645
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 4: is different. It's like it feels like I'm going to.

646
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: A different like a whole different state. Like I hate

647
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: it that. You know, some people are saying, now going

648
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: that is such a Los Angeles thing. Hey, I'm worry

649
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: about the traffic. We're going to build a state. I

650
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: worry about the traffic where.

651
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 4: It's on a weekday game like if it starts at

652
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 4: six o'clock and I want to get into it, dome.

653
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 1: I got to get myself two hours got it. You

654
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: would be coming to work. You have to step into

655
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: it to get there. That wow you ah? Oh so good?

656
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: Get up on that wall. Listen.

657
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 4: Clippers down two now four never ninety two ninety.

658
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't I much money? Did you

659
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: bet on this game? I did not bet any money. Okay,

660
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: hurst up. It's like a horse crutch. It does have

661
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: a piece of verse, she said. I didn't bet money.

662
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: So that means like a car, or a house or

663
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: or something. Really about you, Jason, Oh you bet me?

664

Speaker 1: this all day. Right, It's just it's but he didn't

671
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: double dip. Don't worry. Yeah, he only put the wing

672
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: in there. I would rather. I would have rather you

673
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: double dip your finger than the wing. No, it's it's fine.

674
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: I didn't double those fingers. Wo wow, giggle, little giggle. Okay,

675
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: I need a time out. I need a twenty seconds.

676
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: Soon as you get the Jason Smith whatever the hell

Speaker 1: it over time out. Wow, you need to calm down.

679
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,640
Speaker 1: You're raising you? Are you raising your voice? Stop raising

00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,160

Speaker 2: Well Dressed Cobot.

691
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: It's been about seven hours and still the world is buzzing.

692
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: Biggest sports story of the day the United States women

693
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: beat Canada win the gold medal in hockey in overtime

694
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: two to one. You've probably seen Megan Keller's game winning

695
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: goal out from many different angles, and look, I gotta

696
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: be honest and just to think about this, because I

697
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: always look at the games like this and go how

698
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: improbable of a win this was. I don't think people

699
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: understand just how improbable. This was did they get a

700
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: win in probability and calculation up on them monitorite. I'll

701
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: tell you from middle of the first period, it's like

702
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent Canada. Like the United States and Canada

703
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: the two best teams in hockey and women's hockey, clearly,

704
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: but the United States is like five miles better than Canada.

705
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,719
Speaker 1: They beat them like a drum the last seven games.

706
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: They beat them in the earlier in the tournament this year.

707
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: A last week they beat them five nothing. But Canada

708
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: came into this game and they outplayed and out coached

709
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: the United States for fifty eight minutes. And you know,

710
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: I can't get over their strategy watching them block as

711
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 1: many shots. I think they blocked like seventeen shots, which

712
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: is an insane number to block in a game. And

713
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: they kept the United States passing lanes. They couldn't the

714
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: United States couldn't use their athleticism get up and down

715
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: the ice, and the United States just didn't adjust. It's

716
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 1: like watching the Chiefs in the Super Bowl when nothing

717
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: is working and they don't adjust. It's like you gotta

718
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: do something different. No, We're just gonna do the same

719
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: thing over and over and over again. And they're hoping, hey,

720
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 1: maybe we can squeak out a goal. Maybe we get

721
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: a bad bounce, and they did, they got a bad

722
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: maybe they got a bad bounce for the USA, good

723
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: bounce with a puck getting out of the zone on

724
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: the power play. Fourth liner comes in and scores to

725
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: give them a one nothing lead, and they're saying, great,

726
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: this is how we're gonna win this game. We're gonna

727
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: play this great defensively. We're gonna make this goal stand up.

728
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: And it stood up for fifty eight minutes. This is

729
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,399
Speaker 1: what's gonna keep Canada awake. And all the players sit

730
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: there and go and that's why they were so drained

731
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: after and the looks on their faces, they were so mad,

732
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 1: they were so upset. They had a perfect game plan

733
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: for fifty eight minutes and they're going home with a

734
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 1: silver medal, Like that's really a perfect game plan for

735
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: fifty eight minutes and they're going home with a silver medal.

736
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: That shows you the gap between Canada and the United

737
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: States what it really is, where this was the game where, hey,

738
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: this is the one game out of ten where Canada

739
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 1: is able to find a way to stay close and

740
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: maybe they pull it out that's the you know, nine

741
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: times out of ten United States wins this game today

742
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: was that one time that Canada was going to win.

743
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: But the United States gets the fortunate deflection at the

744
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: end of regulation, they get the best chance in overtime.

745
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: Keller wins it with a goal and Canada is they

746
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: still right now have to be stunned that they lost

747
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, you're not talking about it off air.

748
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: A little earlier in the overtime period one of the

749
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: Canadian rushes where it's if that's regulation, probably is a

750
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: penalty instead play yeah, oh yeah, you're not going to

751
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: lose a limb to get penal life overtime, got up

752
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: off the ice, slow to get off the ice, which

753
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: obviously had a three out three wide open becomes a

754
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: bigger deal. You can't stop and complaint at the official

755
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: because nobody's there to pick up for you. Yep. But

756
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: just that last final, the final two minutes, right, the

757
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: absolute opposite of what happened in the game against Sweden

758
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: the round before, and here you are chasing, you pull

759
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: the goalie. All these the tension mounts in the United

760
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: States prohibitive favorites in this one. In Canada, I think

761
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: it was plus three twenty five as the game started.

762
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 1: And then you watch it grind and you know it.

763
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 1: And it's one of the great things and evil things

764
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: about hockey and soccer and games of that oak where

765
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: it's the there's just that one play. All it takes.

766
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: One mounts, one skip, one puck that doesn't flatten and

767
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: is on its edge and gets hit just the right way,

768
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,399
Speaker 1: flutters through and you find the equalizer and and give

769
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: yourself that opportununity in overtime for what will be you know,

770
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: if it's Forstburg's on a stamp in Sweden, Oh, this

771
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: one was pretty good. That that sweep to the outside

772
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: and around the defender is one nuh. It's gonna be

773
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: emulated on a lot of ice rains over the next

774
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, years and months to come.

775
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 3: You know.

776
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,799
Speaker 1: And and the thing is is that, yeah, we'll get

777
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 1: to the Keller goal in a minute, but that's the

778
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: moment where Canada lost this game. That goal by Hillary

779
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: Knight and that deflection that is just a fortunate deflection

780
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 1: just deflated them and that and and I I can't

781
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 1: I can't blame them because when you're playing we're playing

782
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: in a highlight. Everything else is going, and the United

783
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: States pulls their goalie with two minutes ago, which, oh,

784
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: by the way, pat yourselves on the back, so many people,

785
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: it's too soon, too soon. Hey, we're not getting any

786
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 1: offense going. There's a time out. I can easily put

787
00:37:51,320 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 1: my six skater on on the on the ice, I

788
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 1: can put the players I want on the ice, right

789
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 1: because I'm quadruple shifting some of the players. Right, that's

790
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 1: what's going going on. So, uh, this is what I

791
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: can do. And you got the extra time and you

792
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: score with a minute and a half left to go. Okay.

793
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: I mean that is for all the out coaching, for

794
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: all the out coaching that the Canada did with Team USA,

795
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: and they didn't do anything doing anything. They played the

796
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: biggest trump card, the biggest counterpunches. Yeah, we're pulling the

797
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,959
Speaker 1: goalie with two minutes left to go. They controlled the puck,

798
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 1: they got the deflection. That is a boss move right

799
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: there by Team US. So that goes into you know,

800
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about game and clock management, roster man

801
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: even all right, high your legs. We watched it in

802
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: the in the men's game, right, It's like, hey, you're

803
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be going off, like, nah, I got

804
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: another thirty seconds in me goal victory. Same thing here

805
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: is like, all right, what do they have left at

806
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: that point? And to pull the goalie. Look, we always

807
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: wait for it, you and I watching NHL games here

808
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: in the studio is like, when's the picture? And picture Yeah,

809
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: we're getting there. There it goes. And Leuski was crying after.

810
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean he was crying right after the game was over, like,

811
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to go okay, I cause he's

812
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 1: got to say I did my part because I didn't

813
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: do my part for fifty eight. It's because I say,

814
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: he's trying to do the same thing over and over.

815
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 1: There's no passing lanes. They're trying to block all your shots.

816
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: I hold up, either get your shots off faster or

817
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 1: hold and when they slide to block the shot, you

818
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: go around them. That that's how you have to do it.

819
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:18,919
Speaker 1: None of that. So okay, I did something to help

820
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: us win this game. They did a big thing. Because

821
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: that's a big gutsy call. Two minutes to go, we're

822
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: pulling the goalie. What's this game right there? Whatever it is,

823
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: it's not enough, not enough. Whatever he's got it. Yeah,

824
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 1: you were talking about the Canadians. I mean they're not

825
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: gonna sleep tonight because of the loss. Also, I mean

826
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a long ice bath because of the

827
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: block shots. That's a lot of bruising. Yeah, for the

828
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: Psyche as well. I mean there's a lot going on.

829
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: Incredible gold medal. Perfore, just how unlikely it was for

830
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 1: the United States to win this game. I want, I

831
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: want people to understand that this was even though they

832
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: were the main favorites, the way this game was unfolding,

833
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: everything went out the window and they were extremely fortunate

834
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,480
Speaker 1: to win. It was an unlikely gold medal for a

835
00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: team heavily favored to win the gold medal. Think about

836
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: that at night with the kapper to a career coming up.

837
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 1: Now we got more on the Olympics. More on the
