00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: Twitter handle at DP show stat of the Day. We

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: got a play of the day. We've got a pull question.

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: All of that forthcoming. Last night, Golden State took down

33
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: the Mavericks. So that's six NBA finals in the last

34
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: eight years. And Golden State has great players, but they

35
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: also have a great front office. As we talked about yesterday,

36
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of homegrown talent here. Keep in mind

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty, Warriors had the worst record in

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: the NBA. You had Steph Curry and Klay Thompson injured,

39
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: still learning to play without Kevin Durant, but the front

40
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: office continued to make moves in order to put them

41
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: in this position. They signed and then traded D'Angelo Russell

42
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: for Andrew Wiggins in a first round pick. Wiggins has

43
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: turned into a solid contributor. Then they use that pick

44
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: on a promising forward, Jonathan Cominga. Then there's Jordan Pool.

45
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,119
Speaker 1: Warriors selected the Michigan guard in twenty nineteen, and he's

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,279
Speaker 1: averaging just over eighteen points per game in the postseason,

47
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: and he's become an integral part of the Warrior's success.

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: You need players to win championships, but you also need

49
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: a very good front office, and that front office for

50
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: Golden State deserves a victory lap. So does the Boston

51
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Celtics front office. Remember yeah, Brad Stevens who said I'm

52
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: not going to coach anymore, and I went, wait, he's

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: not coaching it. He wants to go into the front office.

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: He's going to replace Danny Ainge, and I went, he's

55
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: too young to be going into the front office after coaching.

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: They have homegrown talented as well. They've done a great job.

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: They started out slow, then all of a sudden, the

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: turnaround in January historical turnaround, and they're on the cusp

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: of going into the NBA Finals heat at the Celtics

60
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 1: game six tonight. In case you're wondering, DraftKings has Boston

61
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: as an eight and a half point favorite. Setan what

62
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of poll question do we have today? They got

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of them for you, Dan or writing a

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: bunch by right now? I mean two? Okay, we have

65
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: one here from PAULI. If I ran the Pelicans, I

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: would offer Zion a max second contract or try to

67
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: trade him, maybe a lesser offer. In case you're wondering,

68
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: the Pelicans have officially cleared Zion Williamson. I don't know

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: what that means. Yes, Zion is he's eligible for the

70
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: rookie extension and that would give him so it'd be

71
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: a five year deal about one hundred and eighty six

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: million dollars, so salary for twenty twenty three would be

73
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: around thirty two million dollars. And he said, hey, I

74
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: couldn't sign it fast enough. So he's entering the final

75
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: year of his rookie contract this offseason, eligible for a

76
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: contract extension. I just don't know what's going on in

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: this situation. Do you want him? You're gonna keep him?

78
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Does he want to stay there. He's now finally cleared,

79
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: even though he was doing three sixties. You know, prior

80
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: to the Pelicans games that they were playing, didn't play

81
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: in the postseason, he suffered that fractured right foot, didn't

82
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: play at all. And this season when he does play,

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: puts up incredible numbers. But I don't know what the

84
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: hesitation here is if you want to keep him. You

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: got a good roster here, you got a good nucleus.

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: I mean you can be threatening with Zion, CJ. McCollum.

87
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: You know, you're younger players contributing. I like what I see.

88
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I like what I saw this year brandon Ingram. I

89
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: mean this is a good team, yeah, PAULI. Here's a comparison,

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: and his first three seasons, Joel Embiid played thirty one

91
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: total games, missed his first two years, played thirty one

92
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: his third year. Zion Wimpson has played twenty four games

93
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: out of eighty two, sixty one out of eighty two,

94
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,679
Speaker 1: and zero out of eighty two last year. This passed.

95
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: And you know, both had injuries that are tricky to

96
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: an athlete, a back and then a foot. Those are

97
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: things that you know that the foot can stay with you.

98
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: Stayed with Bill Walton his entire career. I think it

99
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: didn't help that he was misdiagnosed with his foot injuries surgeries.

100
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: But you know, Philadelphia was patient with Joe ellenbad. But

101
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: also factor this in Philadelphia was patient because they were tanking.

102
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: It was the process and they didn't mind being bad.

103
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: They could wait. New Orleans doesn't have that luxury. They're good,

104
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: they're a playoff team. They're ready to compete now, and

105
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: it's not, Hey, we want to wait a couple of years.

106
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: They don't want to wait a couple of years. If

112
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: poll question? There? Seaton O'Connor more likely to watch this

113
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: weekend Champions League or Indie five hundred. Well, Champions League

114
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: is two hours. Yeah, you can pretty much set your Yeah,

115
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: set your watch to it. Yeah, Liverpool and Real Madrid.

116
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: I remember when the Indie five hundred used to be

117
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: a really big and really important and you really cared,

118
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: you know, in the seventies and the eighties, you could

119
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: name all the winners like it was really important. And

120
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, NASCAR came in mid to

121
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: late eighties and dominated, and now you have Formula one

122
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: that's coming in. Younger generation is eating up Formula one.

123
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't I'm curious about the Indy five hundred, but

124
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm not glued to it the way I used to be.

125
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: It's a long day, it's a long race, and it

126
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: feels like you could tune in the last twenty laps.

127
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: It's almost like an NBA game and just tune in

128
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: in the final two minutes. But although that could take

129
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: a thirty minutes for the final two minutes. But I

130
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: don't know where the Indie five hundred ranks now if

131
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: you put Daytona five hundred five, uh, you know, Formula

132
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: one is in Monaco. See that's another thing. When you

133
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: have these cities that embrace Formula one, so you get

134
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: you know, rich people, good looking people, uh, great cities, destinations,

135
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: and it feels sexy. Formula one feels like it's sexy

136
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: that would be in a movie. And when you're watching it,

137
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: they kind of have created a TV show. It feels

138
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: like it's presented to be on TV Beautiful people, International Field.

139
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: So they're they're selling they're they're selling it in a

140
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 1: unique way where you can go, Hey, the NASCAR is

141
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: racing at Bristol, You'll go Okay, India is racing at

142
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: aside from the Indie five hundred, and you know it's

143
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: not exciting sexy. Yeah, all the FF point drivers look

144
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: like Daniel Craig and his James bond Roll. They're always cool. Well,

145
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: look look really good. But the Indy five hundred to

146
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: me is kind of like the Kentucky Derby. I watched

147
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: it almost out an obligation to the history of Yeah,

148
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: I'll tune in for it at least an hour the

149
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: Indy five hundred and watch a couple hours, like longer

150
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: than the race. Um yeah, I probably yes. Hunt. What

151
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: does it say about a sport if the location and

152
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: which celebs are showing up seemed to be more important

153
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: than the actuals Well, you don't like Formula one, you

154
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: don't get it, But you don't get Formula I don't

155
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: you need you need to say that, but I think baseball, basketball,

156
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: fill there are sports that stand on their own even

157
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 1: though you got a blast music and stuff like that,

158
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: so people don't fall asleep at a baseball game or whatever.

159
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: But you know, we're talking all about the beautiful road

160
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: and the beautiful people and the beautiful Monaco and the

161
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: countries that they want. Is exciting if if you watch

162
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: Formula one is exciting and and this TV show on

163
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: Netflix really opened the eyes of a lot of people,

164
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: younger people, people, And I think they do a great

165
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: job coverage wise. It's just it's late getting to the

166
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: United States. And I remember NBC would have Formula One

167
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: and I thought, who's watching Formula one? And it felt

168
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: like Lewis Hamilton was winning every single year and that

169
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: took away some of the drama there. Now it feels

170
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: like it's a little bit more wide open there, but

171
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: it's always been there. I just think there's we're late

172
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: to the game. It's like, oh, that's right. But I

173
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: think Netflix that show that that really opened the doors

174
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: and opened eyes there. It's like soccer, you know, the

175
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Premier League has been there. I think there's similarities between

176
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: Formula Formula one and the Premier League. But you know,

177
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: if you don't like watching a destination like that doesn't

178
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: factor in for you, then you know you don't have

179
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: to watch that. Do you feel like you're being force

180
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: fed Formula one? Like I felt like I was being

181
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: force fed soccer? Like you don't get it, all right,

182
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I didn't play it growing up. Well,

183
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: I knew Pelee, you know canal ya whoever? That's about it, great, Paul,

184
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: thank you, Yes, yes, yes, eton. But that's the weird

185
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: thing about soccer is that it's kind of like once

186
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: the bug you get bitten by it, it sort of

187
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: takes over your life. So and maybe it's just because

188
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: my son plays, but he has two games on Saturday.

189
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: Then we'll watch the Champions League game. Then we're also

190
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: going to our local pro teams match. Then the next

191
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: day here and has a soccer match, and then we're

192
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: going to watch an academy team play. Like it just

193
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: it takes over. Whether it's in your own, your own

194
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: hometown club, or you're watching it on TV. You could

195
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: watch every day there's another great match on well. It

196
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: feels like hockey as well. Once you go to a

197
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: game and you get the bug, then you love it

198
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: like that's the sport you see in person. It's like

199
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: those who start playing golf. Once you start to play

200
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: and you get the bug, then you're obsessed with it.

201
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: You may not watch it on TV. You may not

202
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: have wanted to watch it on TV. Once you get

203
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: the bug, then you want to play constantly, yes, and

204
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: then you find yourself too watching Like just say the

205
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: way the Premier League ended this year, right with just

206
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: this unbelievably dramatic ending. And you're watching these games and

207
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: you wonder to yourself, how do people not get how

208
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: exciting this is? You know what I mean? Like it

209
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: just doesn't make because you're like, this is the most

210
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: thrilling thing I've ever watched. How do people not understand

211
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: how great this is? Well, they understand that scenario. It's

212
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: like playoff hockey, where you go, yeah, there's nothing better

213
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: than playoff hockey. There isn't as far as excitement. But

214
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: the regular season you're like, okay, all right, yeah, Paul.

215
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: Another great thing about soccer in America being a fan

216
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: is like the Premier League coverage it's seven am till

217
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: one pm usually on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Yeah, they're

Speaker 1: am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and

264
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: the iHeart Radio app. Not all playoff losses are the same.

265
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: Case in point Phoenix Suns losing, that's a big disappointment.

266
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: Didn't expect that. Meanwhile, Dallas Mavericks losing last night. All right,

267
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: we're building on something here. Now you just get Luca,

268
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: maybe one other player you want more. You feel like,

269
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: all right, we're just starting something special here. Phoenix, Chris

270
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: Paul getting older, may lose DeAndre Eton and then you're wondering,

271
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna be back in the mix. We're

272
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: gonna have the best record in the NBA. Dallas, you

273
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: do ball out in five and Luca did not play

274
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: well last night. Give credit to the Golden State Warriors.

275
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: They did what you're supposed to do. Here is Steph

276
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: Curry reflecting on getting back to the NBA Finals. It

277
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: is just a moment to reflects everything very much I said,

278
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: but moments to just reflect on what it took to

279
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: get back here. In fact me Clay Draymond from twenty

280
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: fifteen and now, you know, six out of eight years

281
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: having a chance to compete for, you know, a championship.

282
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: They're feeling leaving twenty nineteen finals and realizing, like, you know,

283
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: we had been on an amazing journey and got hit

284
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: with a lot of adversity and some speed bumps, but

285
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: never lost the faith that we could get back here. Yeah,

286
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: it's impressive. Six in the last eight years. Sounds like

287
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: lebron but six finals and they'll be waiting for it.

288
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: Looks like the Boston Celtics. Here's Draymond Green being Draymond Green.

289
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: Last night at the start of the season, you said

290
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: you don't want to see us back in the finals.

291
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: I said, don't let us win a championship. Now you're

292
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: heading back back to the finals with another crack out

293
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: of championship. And when you said that, what were you

294
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: just thinking about the potential of the makeup of this team.

295
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely, like I like I've said over and

296
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: over again, I'm gonna keep saying, and no one has

297
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: proven that they can move us off that spot. And

298
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: that's the mindset that we come into this thing with.

299
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: We understand what it takes to win a championship. We

300
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: understand the process and how you have to get better.

301
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 1: Anybody can just win games throughout the regular season. Teams

302
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: make mistakes. Most teams in the NBA just just aren't

303
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: that good, you know. So you can win games in

304
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: the regular season, but that means nothing. Draymond is back.

305
00:17:54,119 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: Steve Kerr was asked to compare the Warriors team the

306
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: team that he used to play for. I think the

307
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: common denominator is just talented players who are fierce competitors.

308
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: Whether you talk about Michael and Scottie, Steph Draymond Clay.

309
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: It takes a special kind of athlete to have both

310
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: dynamic but to also be just incredibly competitive and to

311
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: want to win so badly. The Warriors have won nine

312
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: straight home games this postseason. That ties the Warriors of

313
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen for most consecutive home wins in a single

314
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: postseason in NBA history. But Dallas has something to build on.

315
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: The question is who can you get? Could you get

316
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 1: DeAndre Aiden, could you get Rudy Gobert, Who's the right

317
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: player for Luca? Who wants to play with Luca. You

318
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: got some young players there. They got to resign Brunson.

319
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: But I like what I saw. I thought they overachieved.

320
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: But once again, playoff losses aren't of equal value. Just

321
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: ask the Phoenix Suns. A couple of phone calls in

322
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: here Andrew and Washington. Hi Andrew, what's on your mind today?

323
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: Good morning, Good meet Friday. Dan and Dan. It haven't

324
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 1: talked to you since win or lose. We celebrate, But

325
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: those were some awesome shows everybody to pull through on Wednesday.

326
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: By the way, I was just going to make a correction.

327
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: It's a Andrew, it's a A N D R. W

328
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: oh about as illiterate yesterday, but real quick, I had

329
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: a question you alluded to it a couple of days ago.

330
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: Who does Luca need on his team to bring him

331
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: to the next level. I think maybe Nick Wright might

332
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: have an idea. I'm not sure. And then I do

333
00:19:45,200 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: have a stat of the day, okay. J Tatum now

334
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 1: has one thousand, five hundred eight career playoff point at

335
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: twenty four years and eighty four days old. That makes

336
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 1: Tatum the second youngest player to reach fifteen hundred career point,

337
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: the player to reach it at a younger age Kobe Bryant,

338
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 1: Thank you, Andrew. By the way, the over under for

339
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum points tonight twenty seven and a half. Uh,

340
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: let's see what else do we have here? Aaron in Atlanta. Hi, Aaron,

341
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? A dB first time? Day one

342
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: five eight a semi hard, one fifty. We're up here

343
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: in the mountains. I'm with my fiance Harris. Hello, Hello

344
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: him Dan. I'm a little nervous. I know you're an

345
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: e fred on this. I'm afraid I'm going to cry

346
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow on the big day. So taking all precautions, I'm

347
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: not wearing my contacts to kind of, you know, blinder

348
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 1: out as she's coming down the aisle. So I'm gonna

349
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: see if you had any advice for me, Marvin, you

350
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: can sit this one out and suck it. Mark. Okay.

351
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: So Aaron and Atlanta is getting married tomorrow. He's worried

352
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: about crying. There's nothing wrong with crying. I mean, there's

353
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: no crying in baseball, and there's crying in weddings. I

354
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: think crying if you're getting married and you're the groom

355
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: and you cry, that's okay. I cried when my wife

356
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: walked down the aisle. It's like she looked beautiful. It's like,

357
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: all right, it feels like you're the there's only two

358
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: people in the church. It's just like she's walking down

359
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: the aisle, and then I'm just staring and then all

360
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: of a sudden it kind of hits you and you go,

361
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: you're getting married, dude, And then for some reason you

362
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 1: just yeah, I just welled up. But I was trying

363
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: not to do my you know, it was just more

364
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: of a nice tears, like almost you watch a movie

365
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: and an actor has a tear that goes to you,

366
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 1: and it was just nice tears. Yes time, as long

367
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: as you're crying in happiness, I would think on occasion

368
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: you're getting nervous. You're like this and this is the

369
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: last person I'm gonna be with forever, and there's a

370
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: hot bridesmaid and now you're crying. Perceived either that you're crying,

371
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: Like what am I getting myself into? What is wrong?

372
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: I think to get on a horse and ride off

373
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: and get out of here before this is not okay

374
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 1: what I had in mind? Are you? Are you being

375
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: honest that maybe you thought that when you were getting married, Oh,

376
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: that's not my but my experience I was I didn't

377
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: actually cry. Oh I don't know, but I didn't think

378
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: about riding out on horses at all during my wedding,

379
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: not once. Wasn't that that movie with the women run

380
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: away bride Roberts? Yeah, but but I have to believe

381
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: you checked out the brother. Was there a hot bridesmaid

382
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: at your winning? There was a couple of attractive was

383
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: no one? I would be like, you know what, I

384
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: don't think I want to do. You know what the

385
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: answer is, I didn't notice. Oh that's a better as

386
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: it is. It's the answer, that's that's the answer you

387
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: have to have. I didn't notice the bridesmaids. That wouldn't

388
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: be completely honest, though, I don't think. How do you

389
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: not look at everyone that's around you. They're all up

390
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: on the stage. They you know, you got the good

391
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: looking everyone's all dressed up in the But but it

392
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 1: should be the answer, it should be, it should be there. Yes,

393
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: I can honestly say I don't remember the bridesmaids. I

394
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: do not. I do, although I will say, you know

395
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: some of the guys Halo, there was a handsome bunk.

396
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: You say it was a handsome, I can't you know,

397
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: I can't you know. Forget my brother who's six six

398
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: he was my best man, like I remember him. I

399
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: don't remember anybody else. Yeah, you ever get the uh

400
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: you ever be? Have you guys ever been groomsman and

401
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: then matched up with a really good or really bad bridesmaid?

402
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Where it went really well or it went really poorly? Um?

403
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: I I remember having good rapport with a bridesmaid? Is

00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: that in the seventies we just had We had good

405

Speaker 1: rapport all night. Did you have a good breakfast? A

406
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks later, we still had good rapport. Just

416
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: to figure out how to even say it. But my

417
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: buddy CHOI and I listened to this extensively and it

418
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 1: goes into a great T shirt idea too. But wait, well,

419
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: Joey Vado, Oh okay, Joey Vodo is hands down top

420

Speaker 1: He's up there with Reggie Miller, Shay and Irvinge. But

422
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 1: here's my T shirt idea. Okay, I'm gonna say it,

423
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: but I have a picture of you literally like going no,

424
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: and Joey Vado's face is hilarious, and just have it

425
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: say nice walk mother, Effert and just you will sell

00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: one billion of those? All right, Well, thank you, r J.

427
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: A lot of response to Joey Vado yesterday. Nobody knows

428
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: the Reds. Nobody watches the Reds except for Sunday morning

429
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: when they're on Peacock there the baseball game on Sunday.

430
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Thank you. But Joey Vodo has been on a couple

431
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: of times and he kills He's wonderful because he actually

432
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 1: gives thought to your questions, which makes for a great interview.

433
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: When people say, well, who are your favorite interviews? Whoever's honest?

434
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: Like when you get somebody in the moment like Dale

435
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: Junior joins us next Hour honest when he was talking

436
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: about growing up and his parents split and he watched

437
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: his house burned down and his dad wasn't there, and

438
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: he kept thinking of all of his Christmas gifts that

439
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: I get all went up in flames, you know. Jerry West,

440
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 1: great interview, Jerry West talking about I think he was

441
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: twelve years of age sleeping with the shotgun under his mattress,

442
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: saying he was going to kill his dad if his

443
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: dad abused his mom. Again, like those are wonderful moments,

444
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: you know. Scottie Pippen, he was honest talking about Phil

445
00:26:54,280 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: Jackson called Michael Jordan's selfish for playing baseball. Russell Wilson

446
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: recently where it felt like that was a different Russell Wilson,

447
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 1: where he wanted out of Seattle without saying he wanted

448
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 1: out of Seattle. You get those moments. And Joey Votto

449
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: that was levity and when I can get somebody, even

450
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: though I did have to apologize, you know, when you

451
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: use colorful language. If I get you to relax like that,

452
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: then I'm going to get some things out of you.

453
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: But you have to be willing to give. And I

454
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: view it as a competition not to make this a

455
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: tutorial on interviewing. I just know how I interview, and

456
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: that is I compete with you. I want to compete

457
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 1: with you, so then you'll compete with me. And if

458
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: I get that out of an athlete, then I can

459
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: get some things because they always want to be great,

460
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: and an interview is nothing different. I want to challenge

461
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: you to get something out of you that maybe somebody

462
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: else didn't. And my approach is different than most people,

463
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: but it works for our show and that's what's fun.

464
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: Joey Vado was fun yesterday one of those as a

465
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: couple of listeners said it was a driveway interview that

466
00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: you can't get out of your car. You're in the

467
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: driveway and you can't get out of your car because

468
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: it's that good. And that's our goal. Anybody we have on,

469
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: I want you late for something. I want you to

470
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: stay in the car. But Joey Vado had to be

471
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: willing to talk, not be interviewed, have a conversation. Yeah, Paul,

472
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day, we would have Kobe

473
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Bryant on maybe once a year, once averay of the year,

474
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: and it rarely started out on basketball. He'd be life

475
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: for growing up in Italy or something different, and Kobe

476
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: would be totally engaged and he'd give you real answers,

477
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: and he'd pause for like two or three seconds and

478
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 1: then give you an answer. And Kobe was fantastic when

479
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: we weren't just saying, hey, how are you guys against

480
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: the Knicks the other day? It was it was more.

481
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: It was deeper than that. We get so much. Automo

482
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: was great, but he was he's he was a competitor.

483
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: You had to compete with him. That's my approach. I

484
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: want to compete with you. I want to ask you

485
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: something you haven't been asked. But within the context of

486
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: having somebody on you can ask random questions. But to

487
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: get it, I mean the fact that he autographed jersey

488
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: for me. Kobe autographed an All Star jersey and I

489
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: think it says to the White Mamba. So he called

490
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: me the White Mamba and he put it on his

491
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: All Star jersey that I have hanging up here in

492
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: the man Cave. And that's what's fun. Take down, you know,

493
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: whatever that wall is if you can, because you have

494
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: your time is valuable to you. And I'm talking about

495
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: those watching and those listening while I have you. We

496
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: want to entertain you the best we can, and you know,

497
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: we talk about what we're going to bring up with somebody.

498
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: Pauli always has you know, one or two great thoughts

499
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: where he just says, hey, what about And then Pauli's

500
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: the one that asked. He said, you know, ask Joey

501
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: Vado his walk up song, and that's how we started.

502
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: And Joey Vado says, oh, joe Lene from Dolly Parton

503
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: and then we go. Then we're off to the races.

504
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: But that first question is really important because it kind

505
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: of sets up the interview. That's why I don't like

506
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: to say, hey, how are you. I'm good, How are you?

507
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: I'm fine, Like, let's just go you're here, I'm assuming

508
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: you're okay, Let's go. Yeah, paul we had Nick Saban

509
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: of Alabama maybe a decade ago, and it's kind of

510
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: the first time we had him on when he was

511
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: Nick Saban like at the peak of the college football

512
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: and your first question to him was what do you

513
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: listen to on the way in from work? Because he

514
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: was just parked his car. You heard the door closing,

515
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: and you caught it and said, what do you listen

516
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: on the way into work? He was oh, I'm classic rock.

517
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: I listen to Credence. He goes, but when I'm playing

518
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: air guitar, I do something else. You're like air guitar.

519
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: And then you talked about playing guitar hero and air

520
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: guitar out at the lake House and people like Nick

521
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: Saban plays guitar hero and that's where the interview took off.

522
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: But that's where I felt comfortable enough to bring up

523
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: D's Nuts to him because if some of his explain

524
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: to backst okay. So a couple of his players talked

525
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: about Nick Saban would always have fun in practice. We

526
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: had Josh Jacobs of the Raiders on and he would say, hey,

527
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: you know I said something about it. Does he have

528
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: a sense of humor? He goes, oh, yeah, yeah, you

529
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 1: know sometimes you know, if we're fumbling the ball or something,

530
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: say hey, why don't you hold on to D's Nuts?

531
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: And then I go what? And then I all right,

532
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: I might need a second source. I had twa on

533
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: and I brought it up to him, like coach Saban ever,

534
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: say d'se nuts. He goes, what you know he's like?

535
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: And I thought, all right, I can ask Nick Saban

536
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: about this, And then you know, he said, yeah, you

537
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: know sometimes you know, say things and I have some

538
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: fun players and then I think, I you know, I'm

539
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: grilling him like I'm on sixty minutes. Did you say,

540
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: did you say D's nuts? Yeah? Okay, Mike Wallace here, Yes,

541
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I said Day's nuts. Right before that interview, you were

542
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: on this side of the glass and Nick Saban's calling

543
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: into the back room. We're getting them set up and

544
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 1: seating her, like, are you gonna asking he's not dany

545
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: like he said us. Oh, I guarantee, I'm asking about

546
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: I promise you guys. Seat and I were sitting there sweating,

547
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: this is really gonna happen. I'm looking at seeing I

548
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: think he's going. It seems like he's going. He's going.

549
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: And when you asked it, if you watched the video,

550
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: Seat and I are like little kids in our chair.

551
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: It's so tickled about the old thing. Yet I did.

Speaker 1: longtime listener. Absolutely love your show. You guys are amazing.

587
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: You brought me back to morning sports radio, so thank

588
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: you so much for that. What I wanted to comment

589
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: on was your comment about the form of one racing

590
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: and how it was reminiscent of your experiences a much

591
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: younger guy with soccer. I think you and I are

592
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: close to the same age, and that's exactly what soccer

593
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: felt like to me. And I was a kid living

594
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: in Germany. It was like here, you're gonna like this

595
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: and it's good for you. Yeah, and it just never

596
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: never got any traction. Yeah, it's interesting. I was not

597
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: exposed to soccer. I didn't watch it, didn't play it,

598
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: and plus it was tough to find on TV. And

599
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: then you had a new generation that got to see

600
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: these games. You know. I think it turned the corner

601
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: about twenty twenty two years ago. Yeah, se well, I

602
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: think that's kind of how part of the reason why

603
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: David Beckham got so famous, aside from you know, he

604
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: played for Manchester United, but he played on like the

605
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: biggest club in the world, just as soccer was getting

606
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,439
Speaker 1: more coverage in the US, you know, and it opened

607
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 1: up a whole other market to this cool dude dating

608
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: a spice girl, you know. Yeah, and then they had

609
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: the movie Bend It like Becka Yeah, yeah. Because I

610
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 1: didn't know much about him. It's like, all right, good

611
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: looking guy, and all right, play and soccer. But you know,

612
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: you have to think about this globally. Here in the

613
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: United States, you know, we have tunnel vision. You know,

614
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: we're our views are myopic. We're like, oh, we just

615
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: care about the NFL. You know, in India they care,

616
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, about a few other things more important, like cricket.

617
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,480
Speaker 1: Still haven't figured out cricket. Maybe they need to have

618
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: one of those shows on Netflix that has to do

619
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: with the drama behind cricket. But I still haven't figured

620
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: that out because those matches can go for days. Yeah,

621
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: but people in other countries say the same thing about

622
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. Why are they taking breaks every ten seconds?

623
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: Why are they having another meeting? Why is why can

624
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 1: the guy line up here but not there? Why is

625
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: the you know, there's so many rules. No sport has

626
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: more rules than the NFL. Yeah, yeah, I don't think

627
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: that they do things like, you know, complete the process

628
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,000
Speaker 1: in other sports, you know, all the silliness we have,

629
00:36:53,200 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: like you know, let's let's over try to explain rules.

630
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: Gotta have more rules. Uh no, you don't need to

631
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: have less. But yeah, you're right trying to explain it

632
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 1: to somebody and you're like, wait what you don't get this? No, no,

633
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 1: like you have somebody in motion, but are you what

634
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: are you allowed to do? And not to? Then let

635
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: him watch the CFL where you're going. Wait? Wait, they

636
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: get three downs, they get to run forward. How come

637
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 1: the end zone so big? Yes? Why don't they throw

638
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: it to that guy? No, you're not allowed to throw?

639
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: Why are there rough riders and then rough riders? I

640
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Go ask your mom. Jesse in Atlanta. Hi, Jess,

641
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey guys, I just want

642
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: to say thank you for everything. H I'll do. I

643
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: appreciate the show. Dan. When I saw you had the

644
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: big one to COVID inspired me to go to work

645
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: and not be a Todd Fritz and pamper out. And

646
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: I had to bruise bone at my wrist, but I

647
00:37:56,200 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: man handled twelve hours straight for three days in Ver.

648
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: And it's because of the inspiration that you have brought

649
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 1: to me. We're going to work with COVID. But I

650
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: do have a pulse suggestion. Okay, pul suggestion? Is this

651
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: which career would you rather have for someone who has

652
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: not gotten a title for Sports Emmy Ready? Yeah? Dan Marino? Yeah,

653
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: Dan Marino, Reggie Miller or Dan Patrick. Well, I've got

654
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 1: Sports Emmy's. I just haven't won one with these guys.

655
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: Do you see maybe a common denominator here that I've won?

656
00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 1: I haven't won with these guys. I gladly take Dan

657
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 1: Marino's career, I Reggie Miller's career as well. I mean,

658
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, I've done well, but I've done

659
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: well in my little world here. Yeah, Paul, who's had

660
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: the best career of a non title winner. Marino's up there.

661
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: I'll put Barkley right up there. Oh yeah, there was

662
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: a point where he was seconds player on Earth. And

663
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: then if you conclude his media career, yeah, Charles Barkley

664
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: is the most valuable member of the media. And I

665
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: think what happened sometimes is you become so big at

666
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: something other than what you're famous for or were famous for.

667
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: Like John Madden. People don't realize how great John was

668
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 1: as a coach. People are surprised when they got wait,

669
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: he coached. Yeah, I think he might have been the

670
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: fastest coach to one hundred wins, got a Super Bowl,

671
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 1: retired early, then went into the So John had that.

672
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: Then he had the analyst job, and he was a

673
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. He kind of invented the analyst that

674
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:50,360
Speaker 1: you know, the is quirky a compliment like John was

675
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: just different. John wasn't afraid to be himself on the air.

676
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: And then you put in the video game. I mean,

677
00:39:56,160 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: John Madden, that's a billion dollars franchise. He was one

678
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: of the great analysts of all time. And he retired

679
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: at age forty two is head coach in the NFL.

680
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. But yeah, Barkley. Barkley said, if I

681
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: look at a guy who never won anything, he's on

682
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: the Dream Team, leading scorer on the Dream Team. Yeah,

683
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: more you see him and Mike Gotson, who's just about

684
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 1: to be nineteen. I had to tell him, like, Barkley,

685
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: let's go to YouTube. Come on, come over here, let

686
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: me show you this real quick. And I had to

687
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: show you what a beast he was because he's just

688
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: looking at him now at fifty nine sixty years old,

689
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: like who's this? You know, who's this bigger guy? Yeah? Yeah,

690
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 1: like we are you talking about? I was like, yeah,

691
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: behind Mike it was Barkley. Yes, and he won an MVP.

692
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: I mean you and I got to see that up

693
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: close and personal. I've been friends with Charles for thirty years,

694
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,200
Speaker 1: but they almost took down the Bulls. He did win

695
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: the MVP that year. But if you're around him, people

696
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: always says, is Barkley really six to four? And I go, yeah,

697
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: he's barely taller than me. But he was not afraid

698
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: of anybody, including Shock, Like he went in and went

699
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 1: at you. That's one of those where you go, how

700
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,480
Speaker 1: is he doing that? There's certain players where you go,

701
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: I don't know how he does that? Yeah. More. That's

702
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: why I don't like when people say a smaller, bigger,

703
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 1: like an undersize but overweight power forward and they're like, oh,

704
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: you could be like Barkley. I like, relax, Charles is

705
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: one of one. Relaxed Barkley. Let the league of rebounding relax. Yeah. Uh,

706
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 1: let's see Manu in California. Yeah, hi dad Um, longtime listener,

707

Speaker 1: and Nextlix, and so I just wanted to pull you in.

709
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: Cricket actually has three words, and so there's one version

710
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: that's only three hours long, just like a baseball game.

711
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: It's actually plus. Right now they're playing a there's like

712
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: a major League baseball tite cities called Indian Premier League,

713
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 1: and there's like a millions of people watching it. But

714
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: it's actually really exciting. There's a game going on and

715
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 1: starting in fifteen minutes on ESPN plus all right, and

716

00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: about cricket. So it's really fun sport. Thank you, man,

718
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: Let's not drive our audience over to ESPN Plus. So

719
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: they're watching cricket here, I mean get buried by everybody

720
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: leaving and going to watch cricket. More phone calls coming up.

721
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Dale Junior coming up next hour and

722
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: Nick Wright will stop by as well. Hurricanes beat the Rangers,

723
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: Oilers beat the Flames. Tonight it's Heaton Celtics Game six.

724
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: According to Draft Kings, that line is Miami is an

725
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: eight and a half point underdog. Warriors are the favorites

726
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: to win the NBA title. I'm not so now. I

727
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: did pick them to win the title, but I'm not

728
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 1: so sure about that. Boston might be the best team

729
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: in the NBA, might be. I'm not changing my pick,

730
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: staying with Golden State, but they got their hands full
