5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,080
Speaker 1: very very special appearance with us this morning because he

6
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: has taken time out from his very busy schedule of

7
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: standing on a street corner with a sandwich board on

8
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: yelling Johnny Juzang is coming back. We're going to the

9
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: Final four again. We're going to the Final four. He's

10
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: been standing on the corner of Sepulva Adventura for the

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,319
Speaker 1: past thirty five minutes just yelling at a passers by

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: and also trying to give out autographs side Ryan Hollins UCLA.

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Hollins, Dude, congratulations man. I know you're very excited

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: about this, No, I am um is like bittersweet, though

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to see Johnny be a pro. You know,

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: apparently maybe he didn't get the feedback that he'd like

17
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: to have gotten during tests in the water, but I

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: think this was an amazing and imagining a talk about

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: a blistering year through COVID for Johnny Jusing. He transfers

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: from Kentucky, where things don't work out. He gets to UCLA,

21
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: sits out a part of the season, and then leads

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: a playing team into the Final four, and then just

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: puts his name in the drest. So there's literally been

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: non stop at Johnny jus An. So I don't you

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: know what he probably just said. You know, let me

26
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: come back one year and see what I can do

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: with the year under my belt, how I can improve

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: and what can happen. But Mike, you talk about a story, dude.

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: First of all, everybody coming back next year. I mean

30
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: they're gonna be everybody's pick to get to the final four.

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Oh, Ucla Gonzaga again are gonna be

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: everybody's picked. They have everybody coming back to McDonald's, all

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: American coming in. They start that four guard offense that

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: makes it really difficult to defend, especially when you get

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: to the tournament and teams haven't seen that. The dude,

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I would I would be doing what you were doing.

37
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: I'd be standing on the street corner yelling Final four too, man,

38
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm yelling championship. I mean this is I mean, seriously,

39
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: this team just needed a bitted depth. Maybe one rest

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, came a charge call away or literally a

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: hea from half court away from having a chance to advance.

42
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: So you know, I covered the Bruins in college basketball

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: all season long, So I mean, this is this is exciting.

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: But you know how rare is this, Jason, to see

45
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: where guys actually come back to school. Right, well, let

46
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: me let me throw this at you because because this

47
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: is a curveball for you here now, because here you

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: have the first guy who says I'm coming back with

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: all the name image likeness going on the past few days.

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: Now the college kids can make money off their name,

51
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: image and likeness. And look, deer Kin quarterback from Miami,

52
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: I think has already made like three hundred thousand dollars.

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: He's on like everything. How much of this is Jews

54
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: and going okay, well, I'm kind of if he in

55
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: the pros if I come back, Hey I'm in Los Angeles,

56
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: I could I could really do some things. I could

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: make some here. We're getting upwards of maybe six figures

58
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: of doing things, being able to do name image and likeness,

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: and hey, all right, I'll come back for one more

60
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: year because I'll make a decent amount of money. You know,

61
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: if I'm not drafted high enough. My rookie contract's not

62
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: gonna be guaranteed, So I'm gonna come back here and

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make some cash over the course of the

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 1: next year. And maybe Jusang's the first of a few

65
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: guys who decide to do that, because you know, all right,

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm kind of iffy. There's no big deal for me

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: waiting to go to the pros. If I wait one

68
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: more year, right, like, I'll either improve my draft stock

69
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: or my draft stock won't go anywhere. If I'm gonna

70
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: be a borderline first round pick next year, I may

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: as well come back, make some money, have another great

72
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: year of college basketball, then I can go to the pros. Jason,

73
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: you couldn't be anymore right with this? You like that?

74
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Huh nah? No, seriously, you couldn't be because jus An

75
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: could make more money being the man at UCLA after

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: the year that they had, and all the alumni and

77
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: boosters and you know, bandwaggoners also will shout him out too.

78
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: Are gonna be coming out the woodwork, and you know,

79
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: being the man in LA it's like, okay, well you

80
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: got you got Kauhi over there, and then you got

81
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: Lebron and here I'm the college face, you know, and

82
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: uh Evan Mobley, the Mobley brothers are both out of

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: school now. So as far as you know LA basketball,

84
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: Johnny Jusang is number three on that list. So I'm

85
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: absolutely I'm absolutely with him coming back. And I see

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: it in a different light now, I didn't even think that.

87
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,160
Speaker 1: I just was thinking basketball. But yeah, he couldn't make more.

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I'm not sure where the rookie kind of Let's say

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: he gets drafted in his second round. I mean maybe

90
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: he's maybe it's a half a mile in the league.

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: I'd have to do the research there. He could pull

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: that in college and be the man, hey, and be

93
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: the man. Okay, Now, how how jealous are you about?

94
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: Or now I shouldn't say jelly, I should say how

95
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: do you feel that? That's what we call a leading question.

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: How do you feel about now that here's athletes who

97
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: can make this name, image and likeness stuff, you know,

98
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: compared to you know when when you were in you

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: couldn't do that. I mean, look, you walked away with

100
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: a lot of sweet gear. Don't get me wrong. You

101
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: wear different UCLA gear every single day, and all the

102
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: teams you played for in the NBA. It's like today's

103
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: gonna be Oh what do I wear? Today's my clippers day,

104
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: Today's this day. How do you feel now are you?

105
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: Are you all the way happy for the players? Is

106
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: there a little bit of jealousy? Or is it doll

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: and Hey they can make what they want to make.

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: Oh no, don't get me wrong. I would love to

109
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: take my back pay. I wasn't the cover of one

110
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: of those NCUBA games, but I was on the back

111
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: distinctly on the back cover of one of those video games. Okay,

112
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: I would love back pay jealous of No, not a

113
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: I am excited, I am thrilled. But yeah, man, when

114
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: you really realize the money that was scrolling around you,

115
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: or that you know, my coach was making a couple okay,

116
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: my coach was making a couple million dollars, okay to coach,

117
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: But you know, we had to play for the love

118
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: of the game. He didn't coach for the love of

119
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: the game. But we did it for the love of

120
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: the game of the university. They didn't. They didn't do

121
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: it for the love of athletics, for student athletes, the

122
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: love of basketball. Nah, they did it for the money. Okay,

123
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: and we made our run. UCLA found a way to

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: capitalize off of it. So um, I'm instarted for these

125
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: young men. I think more is to come because we're

126
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: starting to name image and likeness. But there is money

127
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: in college sports. There's money that's throlling around, so these

128
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: kids should be seeing it, you know, some level of

129
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: a base paycheck, you know, because let's say, let's say,

130
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: let's be honest, Jason, Let's say I'm a baseball player,

131
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,679
Speaker 1: a third string baseball player, I'm still sacrificing my body.

132
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: So I think there should be a level of pay. There,

133
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: a base level of pay, much like you know in

134
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: the NBA, we would get like a licensing check, right

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: and amongst that licensing check and you can have your

136
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: own separate deals, there's a base like you know, twenty

137
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars or something that you just got for

138
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: being on Everyone got that, and to me, that's a

139
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big thing for Maybe it's you know,

140
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 1: the licensing should be split up or some type of

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: revenue sharing through all athletes because there is so much

142
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 1: money coming in. But if I'm a guy that I'm

143
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: still sacrificing my body or girl, an athlete, you should

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: be compensated. Ryan. Look, I'm glad you're here. What did

145
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: you want to talk about today? Coach? You're making like

146
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: two million dollars a year, man, and we're not making anything.

147
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: All right, I'm glad you came in here. I have

148
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: a track suit for you that is brand new Adidas.

149
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna love it. It's kind of got the pleet

150
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: down the center of the pants, which is a kind

151
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: of So why don't you take this right here? And uh,

152
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,560

Speaker 1: I'll see you're practicing about an hour. All right, here,

154
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: take this. Let me let me know if it doesn't

155
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: fit you. I got other sizes. Can you send anybody

156
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: else in who's upset about not getting money? Oh? My god?

157
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: Which you know, you know, Jay, in all seriousness, though,

158
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: what happens is the star player gets paid. All these

159
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: guys that are all the major university they're getting paid

160
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: under the table from the boosters, from the coaches, from whoever.

161
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: So with them getting paid and then making money, not

162
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: making money, making under the table money, now you become

163
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: a servant to your coach or servant to those boosters

164
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: in the illegal activity almost has to come in because

165
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: these kids aren't making money, or some of them, unfortunately, Jason,

166
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: let's be honest, at a very young station in their lives.

167
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: They are the main provider in their households. They've been

168
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: paid to play AAU basketball, They've been paid since high school,

169
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: you know, so these kids have to keep up. And

170
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: it's an ugly side of sports in which we can

171
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: do away with hopefully and say, hey, you know, you

172
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: want to get paid to come to Kentucky, come to UCLA,

173
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: come to you know, even Pepper and I. We'll get

174
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: you a deal with the local gas station man. We'll

175
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: get you under cover. You'd be the face of it,

176
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: and we'll be set you up with some marketing, and

177
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: that's how we'll get you to the university, rather than

178
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: something under the table happening. It's just it's going to

179
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: clean the game because Jason, I'm gonna tell you one

180
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: thing or not, whether it's legal or illegal, the money

181
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: is still scrolling. Jason Smith, Ryan Hollins in for Dan

182
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: the Dan that's today here on the DP Show. You'll

183
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: have more on this story coming up later on in

184
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: the show. But look, obviously we are now getting set

185
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: for Game two, and yes, Ryan Hollins is wearing a

186
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: nice UCLA sweatsuit today, and we're Game two of the

187
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: finals tonight, and you know, we had the off day yesterday,

188
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and Mike Budenholzer is talking about all I want the

189
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 1: discrepancy at the free throw line fixed a little bit.

190
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: But here's where I'm going to be an NBA head coach,

191
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Big doggy ready, all right, because I'm gonna tell you

192
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: exactly what the Bucks need to do tonight if they're

193
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna beat the Suns and keep this a series and

194
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 1: not go home down to zipp You're ready? This is

195
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: my audition to be an NBA head coach. You're ready? Yeah?

196
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: All right? First of all, I'm glad you guys are here.

197
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about paying all of you.

198
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: You're all getting contracts now if they're gonna win this

199
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: game tonight. Right, I get that there's there's a sense

200
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: from fans to the media, to teams to the players. Right,

201
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: Can Chris Paul really keep this up? Right? Can he

202
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: keep up what he's doing? Is he eventually going to

203
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: hit the wall? Is he going to get dinged up?

204
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 1: Is he going to continue to be this guy, because

205
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: we've seen this movie from Chris Paul and and and

206
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: we've seen him just get to this big cusp of

207
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: big moments before and something happens in the playoffs that's

208
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. Okay, we've seen that. We've seen enough

209
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: of this postseason. Go this is Chris Paul's postseason. He

210
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: has become the Sun's best player. And watching the Bucks

211
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: play defense in Game one, I'm saying to myself, they

212
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: have to change it. Look, and Mike Budenholo doesn't like

213
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: to change, right, He'll make he sees something in game one.

214
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: He'll make that change sometime in October. All right, we

215
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta adapt to that. But instead of looking

216
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: at the Suns and saying, all right, this is a

217
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: big three, we gotta hold off on right, we gotta

218
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 1: we got we gotta be able to keep as many

219
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: clamps as we can down on CP three and Booker

220
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Ayton, who's become a big force. They got

221
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: to sell out and do everything to limit Chris Paul's

222
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: impact on the game. All Right, if Devin Booker beat you,

223
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: Devin Booker beat you, right, and he's shot the ball

224
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: horribly for the past three weeks. If he beat you,

225
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: he beat you. But what they're doing now, Chris Paul

226
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: is able to just continue to run the game however

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,719
Speaker 1: he wants to, and you have to make sure that

228
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: you limit his effectiveness as much as you can. You

229
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 1: got to get the ball out of his hands. You

230
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: gotta make sure he's not running things up and down

231
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: the court. You got to throw a couple of different

232
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: players at him and different looks and different things. And

233
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: like I said, if Booker beat you, he beat you, right.

234
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: If DeAndre Ayton beat you, he beat you. But the

235
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: way it's going right now, Chris Paul is just gonna

236
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be the Sons in four

237
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: and Chris Paul's is allowed to do whatever he wants

238
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: to do on the court. And that's how this is

239
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: going to end if they don't adjust really soon. Well,

240
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: the tough part for Chris and you're saying, you know,

241
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: can he keep it up? He can keep it up

242
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: because the reality is he's not asked to be the

243
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: Son's best player every night. When I played for the

244
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Lob City Clippers with Chris, we needed a high volume

245
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: of Chris Paul. I mean literally the whole game was

246
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: mid pick and roll and Chris Paul making a play

247
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: like like all four quarters ball in his hands, and

248
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: at some point a guy will wear down. And we've

249
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: seen that from Chris, so he understands that I can

250
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: manage my way through these playoffs. I only average sixteen

251
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: points per game, played a little under a right around

252
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: thirty minutes per game, So the same load isn't being

253
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: asked of Chris. And the one thing that teams started

254
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: getting hit too when we are in the playoffs playing

255
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: with Chris Paul is just what you said, Jay. They

256
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: would trap him, they would double him, they would get physical,

257
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: they knock him down, and at some point, you know,

258
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: he just wore down. That was just it was just

259
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: a lot to ask of Chris. And he's such a

260
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: great passers, so they'd switch. And then when you switch,

261
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: what do you say, All right, play one on one,

262
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: play a whole lot of one on one. We're gonna

263
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: switch the pick and roll, and we're gonna see if

264
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: you can beat us that way. Chris, and you know,

265
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: we struggle to win games. But if he comes out

266
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 1: the next game, and let's say Chris Jason will say,

267
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: what the fifteen point range, fifteen point seventeen eight team

268
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: point range, you know, which doesn't as as impressive of

269
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: a game he may score, they still have a chance

270
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: to be successful because of his passing. He had thirty

271
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: two points and nine assists. So let's say those those

272
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: thirty two points, you know, tails back to eighteen and

273
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: nineteen and those assists jump into fourteen fifteen range. Because

274
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: the way that DeAndre aiden uh And and Devin Booker

275
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: can play, right, No, I and I get that. Look,

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: these guys are good and look and Devin Booker is

277
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: someone who we thought was going to take the next

278
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: step in his in his stardom, and clearly he's been

279
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: slowed down. You can slow him down. Patrick Beverley slowed

280
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: him down in in the series with the Clippers to

281
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 1: the point where he wasn't that effective, but Chris Paul

282
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: was extremely effective. Now the Bucks are a better defensive

283
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 1: team than the Clippers, so they can do this, you

284
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: know they can maybe when when they sell out to

285
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: do it. It's not that much of a of a

286
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: of a difference from them. But I mean, he's doing everything, Ryan,

287
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's he's doing everything and and and

288
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: I if they try they if they go with the

289
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: same type of situation they had and say, well, we

290
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: just need more defensive intensity, We need more of this,

291
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: we need more of this. I mean, it's going to

292
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: be a lost tonight, and it's going to be a

293
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: loss in game three. It's gonna be a loss in

294
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: game four, doesn't matter how healthy honis is, because what

295
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: he's doing, especially in transition, is crushing teams. And now

296
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: that they've finally seen a little bit of all right,

297
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: well this is what we have to do. Then let

298
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: the chips fall with the other guys. Because look, if

299
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: Booker becomes a star. I always never want to sit

300
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: back and say, all right, we didn't do everything we could.

301
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, we thought what we got us to the finals.

302
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: And I get that it's difficult as a coach to say, boy,

303
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: everything we did has gotten us to this point. We've

304
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: beaten everybody this year. Right, we're one of the last

305
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: two teams left standing, and now we have to change

306
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: some things here, you know, kind of radically in the finals.

307
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: But that's kind of what you have to do when

308
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: you're faced with a reality that this is how it's

309
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: going to go it's going to be the same replay

310
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: a game one the rest of the series. Yeah, no,

311
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: And you know, it's interesting you bring that up too.

312
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: I spoke with Jared Greenberg. He's over there covering the

313
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: A Finals right now, and he just pretty much said

314
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: I asked them if they were discouraged yet. So the

315
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: Bucks were discouraged from what happened, and happened and obviously

316
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: optimistic because Jannis came back, but they played well and

317
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: they lost, and he said they felt like they played

318
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: well offensively and that they've been here before losing these

319
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: game ones, lost lost to Atlanta, lost to the Bucks,

320
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: and excuse me, lost to the Nets, not the Bucks.

321
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Clearly that they are the Bucks, but he said, this

322
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: is an optimistic team that they feel like they can

323
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: wear down the Suns, and for me, they've been rewarded

324
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: by it. But I hate that game plan. Like my

325
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: whole big problem with the Bucks is that they don't

326
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: adjust and they've been rewarded through injury and just kind

327
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: of like injuries have happened, but I don't think that's

328
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: the game plan. But they're gonna stick to that game plan. So, Jay,

329
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: you say that you feel like the you know, just

330
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: just do the same thing. They're wear down. That's the

331
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: game plan. That's are you rolling with that? Because I'm

332
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: not confident and faithful in it. Beca because when you

333
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: look at the Suns, they are and have become such

334
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: a complete team where it can be different guys on

335
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: different nights. And you know, Chris Paul scoring at at

336
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: a level we just haven't seen in a very very

337
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: long time or ever, he's never made it to NBA finals, right,

338
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: but you but you have to do this. He's become

339
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: that guy. I mean, if if it was a case

340
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: of hey, here's Chris Paul is playing great and Devin

341
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: Booker's killing us too, right, then okay, you know we

342
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: really have to do something here or what can we

343
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: do because they're both killing us? But Booker is shown

344
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: that Okay, he's a little mortal. So let's let's let's

345
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: make him do it. Let let's see if he's a start.

346
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: Let's see if the bright lights of the finals are

347
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: enough for him, because he really has I mean, he

348
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: shot he was eight out of twenty one last game

349
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: and that was like his best game shooting in three weeks.

350
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he is just has not been good and

351
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: his and he's getting the free throw line, which which

352
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: is which is great because when you when your SHOT's

353
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: not falling, you want to make sure you get to

354
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 1: the free throw line. But I would say, it's time

355
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: to see this and see if this guy can beat us,

356
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: because you saw what happened in game one. I don't

357
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: even think the Suns even played in a game. In

358
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: game one, they looked like they played kind of like

359
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: a B game and they were able to win this

360
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: and go away and win by double digits, when if

361
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: they played their A game, that's like, that's like a

362
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: one thirty five, one oh three game, and the Bucks

363
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: are going, what just happened to us? Man? Jannis came

364
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: back and and and we thought we were going to

365
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: be really good and we had to we have this

366
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: great defensive team. We just lost by thirty five. This

367
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: wasn't even an a game by the Suns and they

368
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: won like that. No, no, not not even close, not

369
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: even close. And you're you're right, they didn't play amazing,

370
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: but they they did. Jesse enough, Minie Williams is gonna jest.

371
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't have the same faith in Buck. I don't.

372
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jason, I just don't and clearly they don't

373
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: plan on me a lot of chessman tegue. Well, this

374
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:48,479
Speaker 1: is why I need to be the head coach, right,

375
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: this is this is why, this is why. I mean,

Speaker 1: our two of the DP Show here on Fox Sports Radio,

394

Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Ryan Hollands in for Dan and the dan

395
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: Ats today. They're coming up in a couple minutes. We

396
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: have big news out of the Olympics. Yeah, we still

397
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: have the Olympics, but things are gonna be quite different.

398
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, I promised this a

399
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. Last night, Yankees beat the Mariners five four. Okay,

400
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: all the Yankees win. No, this is not a conversation

401
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: about Aaron Boone or everybody getting fired. It's audio that

402
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 1: you just have to hear because it's absolutely priceless. So

403
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge Homer's for the Yankees last night as part

404
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: of the Yankees win. Now the second time he comes up,

405
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: John Sterling, longtime Yankee play by play man, you're doing

406
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: the play by play of the game. He's working remotely,

407
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: all right, so still a lot of MLB teams don't

408
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: have their broadcast teams traveling to sites. So he's doing

409
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 1: the game and calling the game off a monitor. Now,

410
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: apparently he must have looked away because he thought when

411
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: Aaron judged up into the batter's box, he hit another

412
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,399
Speaker 1: home run. Except what they did was they showed a

413
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: replay of his home run from earlier in the game,

414
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: but John Sterling thought it was real. And here's how

415
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: that call sounded high. Here is judge man, the breaking

416
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: ball is hit in the air to deep. That ball

417
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: is high, hit is far, h it is gone. Unfortunately

418
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: that was a replay of the home run. But it

419
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: was a good replay. Hey, well, I'm sorry it's on

420
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: the monitors. Am I supposed to do? This is a

421
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: great way to do a game in it yep, yep,

422
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: yoh just looked away for a second if oh it's

423
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: a home run and he got he got the uh

424
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: he got? What happens like Ryan, when you go out

425
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: and watch football on Sunday and and you know, in

426
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: a bar, and when there's everybody is around, and somebody

427
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: gets like a live replay is something for the first time,

428
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: and they stand up and they're yelling, oh, go go go,

429
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: and people go replay replay and the guy sits down,

430
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything. Um the joys. As Susan Waldman, his

431
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: co host, said, of doing games remotely, I know you've

432
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: done games remotely? Is it like that? Do you look

433
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: up sometimes ago what's happening? What are they showing? And

434
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: I gotta get going on this, Well, I just I'm

435
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna lean on the producers that much more. You know,

436
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the producers are the ones, the guys behind the scenes

437
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: making things happen. That that's who you lean on, you know,

438
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: when you're calling in the game and I've I've had

439
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: a blunder, but I wouldn't say that type of blunder

440
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: where you know you kind of have to sit back

441
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: and and wait until the play happens, you know, before

442
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: you jump out there. Um so I've jumped in on

443
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: some replays. I remember one time the play by play

444
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: guy his WiFi cuts out and for like during there

445
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: a quarter of a I had a chance to call

446
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: some remote uh G League games this year. You know,

447
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: I'm doing play by playing the calls, and I'm like,

448
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: oh my god, like the poor person at home who

449
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: has to suffer and listen through through this. Okay, there

450
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: the worst, the worst thing I ever listened. Hey, Jason,

451
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: if there's not anything, brother, I love it. Appreciate you

452
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: for what you're doing on the other side. Okay, I don't.

453
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to come in or out of breaks

454
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: or tease anything. All right, that's what you should have

455
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: called me. I would I would have hopped on for

456
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: you called the action, so you didn't have to go,

457
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: what a what a shot by that? Ryan? How do

458
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: you think? Well, I'm playing you ask me that, Ryan,

459
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: Thanks for telling me that. I mean, is it? Is

460
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: it just the case of when it happens because something

461
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: happens on the monitor in front of you, or you don't.

462
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: Is it just like you if you look away for

463
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: a second, something like what is it that does that

464
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,199
Speaker 1: for you? If you get hit out of rhythm? And

465
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, the producer do excellent job. They'll come

466
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: in with a you know it'll be a read, possibly

467
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: a replay. There's different things that are coming in, so

468
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: you know, you got to be ready for what's coming

469
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: your way. So you know, if you're not listening or

470
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'll hit that talkback button. For those who

471
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: don't know, the talk back button is how you you're

472
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: not heard on the airways, but you can talk to

473
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 1: the producers behind the scene. I'll say, hey, is this

474
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: our stuff right here? Is this a go? Well? What

475
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: do we tell me? Blatan? What are we doing coming

476
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: out of the break? You'll hear me ask that of

477
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: millions out what are we doing coming out of the break.

478
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be overly clear, especially especially when

479
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: working remotely and doing a broadcast. Now, remote radio is

480
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: one thing, right, just kind of it's it's just kind

481
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: of like being on a phone conversation, a very long

482
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: phone conversation. But ultimately, when you're calling the game, it

483
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: is tough because you come out of break in different ways.

484
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: So you gotta be on your p's and ques with

485
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: that man and you know, maybe he was, you know,

486
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: playing with this cat behind the scenes, just saying who knows, man.

487
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: This is where the producer says, all right, listen, just

488
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: in the pre show meeting, you gotta hold Hollands his

489
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: hand the entire game, right, He's always going to ask

490
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: what's going on and what we're doing. Just explain it

491
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: to him and then let him go. I know it's

492
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: going to be frustrating because he's gonna ask you all

493
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: the time what's going on. Just talk to him and

494
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: he'll be all good with the broadcast. So, hey, doing

495
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: games remotely, right, is there that much of a difference

496
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: because when I when watching from home, unless you see

497
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: a mistake like this, we're kind of used to that now,

498
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, we kind we've kind of seen that, and look,

499
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: you've they now different leagues have opened the door to

500
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: do we really need to pay for for people to travel?

501
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: Can Can we still call the games as long as

502
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,479
Speaker 1: it's a good enough setup, Like I don't think for

503
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: a second if you have somebody in their house and

504
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: they're trying to watch a game one monitor, that's a

505
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: good setup. But if you have it, if you have

506
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: it where hey, you're coming into our studio and you're

507
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna watch the game is on like seven different TVs

508
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: and we have all the technology you need and the

509
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: producers can come in and talk to you. Is there

510
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: that much of a difference in doing the game from

511
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: from being there live too? If you were doing it

512
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: calling it remotely, if you're well, you'd always want to

513
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: be with your partner, that's the best. But if you

514
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 1: don't have a rapport with your play by play guy

515
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: from the analyst side already, that can be tough because

516
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: everybody has nuances, Okay, Like Jason, you know my nuances

517
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: all right, so you kind of know when I'm getting in,

518
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 1: when I'm getting out. Like whether we're here, whether we're

519
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: across the world, is going to be a good show

520
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: for the most part. But when we're working with someone

521
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: that I don't know, I'm a little more careful. You know.

522
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: I don't like to jump in. I don't like to

523
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: step on toes, you know, because the worst thing you

524
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: want to be doing, Jason, you know it is to

525
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: be talking at the same time, not talking to each

526
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: other at the same time, but just talking at the

527
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: same time or stepping on each other's toes. So that's

528
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: the toughest part is synchronizing. And like I said, if

529
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: it's someone that you haven't worked with before, you don't

530
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: know the nuances. You know, you don't have the feel

531
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: of the arena, you don't have the adrenaline pumping through

532
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: your veins of being there. But just the it's it's

533
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: a it's a fine tool man. Peanut butter and jelly

534
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: don't grow on trees. You know what I'm say. It

535
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: ain't peanut butter and and something else. It's peanut butter

536
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: and jelly. Okay. So when you find Jason Smith working

537
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: with Ryan Hollins, you just close your eyes and you

538
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: know you you throw the lib. Jason, you throw the lib.

539
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 1: But with your eyes cooling, you know where'm gonna be.

540
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: You know where I'm gonna be okay, you're just throwing

541
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: up and the big fellows right there. Hey, you want

542
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: a story about you and I that I've never told

543
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: you before. You're for this. I'm slightly nervous. I'm thinking

544
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: about speaking about working together for the first time. Okay,

545
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: So you and I were gonna do our show together

546
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: for the very first time. And I was like, Okay,

547
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: this is gonna this is gonna be really cool. We'll

548
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: do this. And you normally how you and I work

549
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: is is, you know, because I do the show the

550
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: night before normally, like I did my show last night,

551
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: and I send out a list of topics, going okay, hey,

552
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: here's what I think. What do you think? And you

553
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: come back and go, I like this, I want to

554
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: do this, and you know, you and I figured out

555
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 1: together well the first time we were working together, I

556
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: talked to my producer and I said, okay, so I'll

557
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,119
Speaker 1: send out a list to Ryan and he can you know,

558
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: and and and you know, send it to him and

559
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: then he'll send back his ideas will that work? And

560
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: my proofs like yeah, yeah, that's fine. And then you

561
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: send an email to both of us with a rundown,

562
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: which is an industry term for here's what we're doing

563
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: in every segment of the show. And it was a

564
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: three hour show. And I see first segment and you

565
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: had a topic, and the second segment you had this,

566
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: and the third segment you had this all the way

567
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: through for three hours, and I'm going, what the hell

568
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,800

575
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: TV for Fox. He said, no, this is what we

576
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,600

00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: This is how we're gonna talk about it, and and

581
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: this is it. These are the topics. And I'm like,

582
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: why would we talk about I don't get this and this,

583
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,280

00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: But all I have to do is shoot the shot.

609
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 1: He's got to shoot his shot and then he's got

610
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: to distribute. So it's like me telling him what, like, nah,

611
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 1: this is what you'll do for meal. Jason Smith, Ryan

616
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,880
Speaker 1: air to deep. That ball is high, that is far,

617
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: that is gone. Unfortunately, that was a replay of the

618
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: home run, but it was a good replay. You know.

619
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: You know what I like about that. I like about

620
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: that part is that right right after he's doing his calls,

621
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: famous it is high as far. Susan Waldman who's his calls,

622
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 1: tries to jump in and go hey, but then it's like, no,

623
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: I just gotta let him finish and then tell him

624
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: it's a replay. I let him finish this whole it

625
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 1: is fine. Then I'll wait and then okay, it's a replace.

626
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: I want to make sure you know that. Hey, well,

627
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: I'm sorry it's on the monitors. Am I supposed to do?

628
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: This is a great way to do a game in

629
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: it yep, yep, Hey Jason, yeah you now I feel

630
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: her where she's coming from. She's getting her back her teammates.

631
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Bet you can't do that. You can't do that though,

632
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Well no, because listen, because of COVID, we're just doing

633
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: these games. They aren't live a lot of times, or

634
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: we're in situations we're not always together. Everyone's had to

635
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: make sacrifice. So if you want to continue doing get

636
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: you can't really fuss about it. It's that's just the thing.

637
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: That's what it is. You can't you can't really fuss

638
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: about it. So you know, you gotta yeah, you gotta

639
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 1: own it, like this is a great way. Like you

640
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 1: can't do that, Like because if I'm a fan, I'm watching,

641
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm going, well this stinks. I don't want them to

642
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: be remote, like you know, like thanks for putting taking

643
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: a count off the bag, Like like, dude, you can't

644
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: do that. Well no, And I liked that she tried

645
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: to have his back a little bit, but you no,

646
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Where it's like okay, now it's

647
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: it's it's somebody else's fault that he called that he

648
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: did call a home run on a replay. It's not

649
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: our fault. We're doing games like that. Yeah, this is

650
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: what it is. You've had some time to get used

651
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: to it. You know, we're midway through the season. I

652
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: get you on to have his back, and it's kind

653
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: of a thing. But to say it's not our fault,

654
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, it's Look it was, and that thing is

655
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to have fun with that and

656
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: have fun and go, oh, I thought it was. I

657
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: thought it was a home run. You know, no big

658
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: deal that That actually happened to me once my first

659
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: time around here at Fox Sports Radio, And it actually

660
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: wasn't that big a deal because look, not to say

661
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: I had an excuse for it, but you know, I'm

662
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: doing the show at the same time while the while

663
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: games are going on. So you got four TVs in

664
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 1: front of us. Look, it's the same setup my first

665
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: time around here Fox. It's been this time. So there's

666
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 1: four TVs in front of us, and I'm doing a show.

667
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: And it was a playoff game. It was a Stanley

668
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: Cup playoff game. It was like a conference final and

669
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: it was coming down the winner was going to go

670
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: to the Stanley Cup Final and we're talking everything and

671
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: the game's going to like double overtime, and like double

672
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: overtime starts, and I'm doing the show and I'm talking

673
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: and I look up and I see it's it's a

674
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 1: live replay of a goal. Now, I wasn't keeping that

675
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: close attention to the game because I'm doing the show

676
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: and I see the replay and I think it's a goal.

677
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: I think it's over to go oh and the series

678
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: is over. The Stars scoring double overtime, they win this.

679
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: They're going the Stanley Cup Final. And my producer just

680
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 1: pops in and goes, dude, you're seeing a replay man.

681
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, so you were that guy. I was like,

682
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: all right, now, I thought it was live, okay, And

683
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: that's the thing we had fun with as out. I

684
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: thought it was live. That's my fall, that's me. That's yeah,

685
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: I did. But at least my excuse was I was

686
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: doing a show at the same time. If my job

687
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: was to watch the game and broadcast on it, and

688
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: then I still wound up saying a goal when it

689
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: was a replay, and then I would have had issues

690
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: with it. Then it would had issues there eight seven,

691
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox the phone number Jason Smith,

692
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Hollins in for Dan and the Danats today. Hey story,

693
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: just in here for a couple of minutes. The Tokyo

694
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: Olympics are still on for or for later on this summer,

695
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: which is great. However, CNN reporting that all spectators will

696
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: be banned from the venues due to the coronavirus state

697
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: of emergency that's going to run throughout the event. Now,

698
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: Tokyo has seen a big spike in their COVID numbers

699
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: over the course of the past few weeks, and now

700
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: they've decided there will be no spectators, so no fans

701
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: at the Olympics, which you know, quite honestly, it's a

702
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: huge disappointment because I would have thought we would we

703
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: would be at the point. Look look where we are here.

704
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: Now we're going back to games, we're having full capacity,

705
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 1: and you know, they're seeing a spike there. It's it's

706
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,479
Speaker 1: a disappointment that, you know, people can't go to the events,

707
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: and these are people that have already booked flights and

708
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: booked rooms and booked everything. Hey, well I'm going to

709
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: the Olympics. It's gonna be fun. And now it's, oh,

710
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: now you can't go to the venues. So if you're

711
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: still gonna go, you're gonna walk around and stand around outside.

712
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a it's I mean, I understand.

713
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 1: It's just really disappointing that that this is where we're

714
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: at for the Olympics, where we thought it was going

715
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: to be, you know, the first time the globe was

716
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: going to get to celebrate. Hey, we're coming out of

717
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: the pandemic. You know, we're gonna get to do this. Look,

718
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: we have all the we have all the athletes that

719
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: are here. They're all mixing together and they're all competing,

720
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: and this is going to be a big moment of

721
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: bringing everyone together across the globe. And now it's lost

722
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: a lot of its teeth for that. Yeah, man, And

723
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: this is tough because you have people and obviously we

724
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: know COVID, a's COVID. But as far as the as

725
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: far as the playoffs, as far as the Olympics, people

726
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: have planned for years, man, I mean literal years to

727
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: go out and watch the Olympics. And some times you're

728
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: gonna have some first timers there, you're gonna have some

729
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: only timers there at the Olympics that have people have

730
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: that have actually qualified. So I think this it's tough,

731
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 1: but I understand it, and I get it because COVID

732
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: has so many different variants and please don't I'm not

733
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: claiming to be a medical professional, but just seeing from

734
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: the outside in, there's so many different variants that you're

735
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: bringing people from around the world to step into one

736
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,240
Speaker 1: stadium and in one place. And if if COVID sparks

737
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: back up or you know, we get a strand we're

738
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: not comfortable and we're not used to. Man, this could

739
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 1: set the role of back. We know how Hey, Jason,

740
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 1: I know how far we've been set back from what

741
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,919
Speaker 1: we've seen. But and I do not want to see

742
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: another setback. Man. No, I don't want to see it either.

743
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: That's why. That's why it's tough. But I get it.

744
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: Like I like, there's certain times during this year where

745
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: sports has has shown me, hey, we're getting there, we're

746
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: getting back, right, like seeing seeing fa at baseball status,

747
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: the moment that hey, we're getting back, I see it.

748
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: This is this is a real awesome moment. Hearing that

749
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: the NFL is going to have full fans, uh in

750
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: is great. Seeing full fans in aretas for the NBA playoffs,

751
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: and look, I you know, I'm not defaulting to this,

752
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: but it was a really great moment to see Madison

753
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: Square Garden, which you know, the mecca of sports and

754
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: the mecca of the NBA. You know, the Knicks only

755
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: won one home game, you know, to see that place

756
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: rocking and fans outside screaming we want the nets after

757
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: they won one game, it's like, okay, come on, guys,

758
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: come on, guys. Really, and that was the last time

759
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: they won. Uh, you know, to see that with such

760
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 1: a with such a great cathartic moment of hey, we're

761
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: coming out of this, and really sports is showing us that,

762
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: because where else are you going to see forty thousand

763
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: people or you know, twenty thousand people together like they

764
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: used to be, you know, you know, cheering and going

765
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: on like that. And and it's these moments that make

766
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: us think, hey, we're getting there. We're getting there. And

767
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: now this is gonna be really difficult because look, we're

768
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: still gonna watch the Olympics, We're still gonna have the event.

769
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: It's still gonna be a big thing, but it's just

770
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: lost some of that impact that we were hoping to

771
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 1: have across the globe of Hey, we're getting back to normal. No,

772
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: it is so we're like you said, I agree, we're

773
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: excited just to be having the Olympics. But at the

774
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: same time, man, you you still got to be cautious. Man,

775
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: COVID is still going around as it's not getting us

776
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: at the same rate. But hey, Jason, it's it's still there. Man.

777
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I listen. I still

778
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: throw my mask on. You know, I'm not perfect about it,

779
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: but I still if I'm going into a situation, I'm

780
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: not coming, but my mask is still on. I'm still

781
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: masking up, Jay, you know. And I don't want to

782
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: advise someone one way or another. You've been vaccinated where

783
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: your comfort levels are. But you know, I would star

784
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: still rather, you know, air on the side of caution,

785
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 1: because Jay, when we're going to work every day, you

786
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 1: still you're taking care of those people that you work

787
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: with and that you're around. You know, to me, it's

788
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: just respect for everybody. But that's me. Your comfort levels,

789
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 1: your comfort level, But that's that's me, you know. No,

00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,440

843
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: a guy who I'm sure would like to see Chris

844
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: Paul on the Lakers and maybe could pull together forty

845
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: four million dollars to get Chris Paul to not play

846
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: in the finals. Dennis Crousy, color analyst for home games

847
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: from Alwaukee Bucks Radio Network, also pregame show hosts for

848
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, joins us now on the hotline. Dennis,

849
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: Good morning, how's it going. I'm doing great. Good to

850
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: be with you guys. All right, So tell me got

851
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 1: going in here, going in here to Game two. Ryan

852
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: and I talked about this the past few minutes. Is

853
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: it as much for the ba Buck says, Hey, let's

854
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: sell out to stop Chris Paul because if we don't,

855
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: he's just going to continue to kill us over the

856
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: course of the series. Yeah, it's interesting. You know, the

857
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:11,879
Speaker 1: knock on the Bucks and past years was that they

858
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,879
Speaker 1: didn't switch enough, and now the knocks they're switching too much.

859
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: And obviously Chris Paul and Devin Booker had their way

860
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: with mid range shots. One thing I know about this

861
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: Bucks team is they've done a good job of adjusting

862
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: after losing game ones of series. They lost Game one

863
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: to Brooklyn. The fact they lost Game two to Brooklyn

864
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: by thirty nine points, then they lost Game one at

865
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 1: home to Atlanta. They won both those series, so they

866
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: know the series is not over. That they know. They

867
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 1: also have to do some things differently than they did

868
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 1: in Game one against the Suns. So it will be

869
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: fascinating for me to see what they do in game

870
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 1: two tonight. Hey, Dennis, how you doing. Ryan Holland's here,

871
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: great to be with you. How big is this for Yannis?

872
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,200
Speaker 1: How do how do the Bucks fans kind of see this.

873
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people at some moments

874
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: got down on Yannis, saying, well, he's not a closer,

875
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: he's not this, he's not that, but you know, he's

876
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: kind of injured, and it's bittersweet that now he's injured.

877
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: But on the other end, he's in the NBA Finals.

878
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: What's just kind of the feeling around Jannis with the

879
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: Bucks and just even in this city and itself. I

880
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: think Jannis is really beloved in Milwaukee, Wisconsin more than

881
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 1: he is around the country, because you got to remember,

882
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 1: this is a guy who turned away a chance to

883
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: enter free agency and signed to stay in Milwaukee, and

884
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: that that brought him a lot of love. If he

885
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't have it already, He's he's universally loved in Milwaukee

886
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 1: and Wisconsin, and you know, to say he can do

887
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:40,120
Speaker 1: no wrong it is probably a little bit strong. But

888
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he was even out there

889
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: in Game one, just a week after hyper extending a

890
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: knee tells you a lot about him. He's a fast healer,

891
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: he's a fierce competitor. Is he a hundred percent right now?

892
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:53,319
Speaker 1: Only he could tell you that, But I'm sure he isn't.

893
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: He probably is dealing with more pain than he wants

894
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: to let on, but he wants to be out there

895
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: for his team. He knows that, you know, trips to

896
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals are precious, and he doesn't want this

897
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: one to slip away. He said yesterday that he came

898
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,719
Speaker 1: out of Game one pretty good and he hopes to

899
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: be able to do more things in Game two. On

900
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: the court, I think the Bucks did a smart thing

901
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: by having it handle the ball as much in Game

902
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: one that he does usually when he's healthy, and that

903
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,959
Speaker 1: kind of takes some of the wear and tear off.

904
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: But it also he knows limits some of his effectiveness

905
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: because a lot of the times he's most effective is

906
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: when he can kind of, as he says, go downhill

907
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: and slash into the lane with his power. So we'll

908
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: see what he has to offer in game two. But

909
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: just speaking personally, I don't think he has anything to

910
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 1: prove to people around this state about who he is now.

911
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: There might be some questions around the nation about, you know,

912
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 1: whether he's Jordan or Pippin, and I mean we've heard

913
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: that for years, but he's beloved in Wisconsin when it

914
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,439
Speaker 1: comes to free throws, He spent a lot of time

915
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: talking about that the last couple of days. We're really

916
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: surprising how open he is about how he knows that

917
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: everybody is counting when he's taking his free throws and look,

918
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: he's not been good from the line. He says, yeah,

919
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, I hear it a little bit. But then

920
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: I kind of lock in and focus and I hear

921
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: him say that, Dennis, and I go, well, is he

922
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: really locked in and focused If he's telling us how

923
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: much he's hearing everybody counting and he knows what's going

924
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: on at the line, well, it's interesting. You know, there's

925
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: a couple of ways he could approach this when asked

926
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: about it. He could say, you know, I don't know

927
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: what you're talking about and pretend that he doesn't know.

928
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: He goes the other way, It says yeah, I hear

929
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: it and kind of tries to have fun with it. Now,

930
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: let's be honest, he's not a good free throw shooter

931
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: with the chance or without the chances. It's been a

932
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: problem or refor him. Now in the second half of

933
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: the season he was better, but in the playoffs the

934
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: numbers have not been great. And you say, well, is

935
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 1: it a mental thing. Now, it'd be hard to say

936
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: it isn't the chance. I'm sure he hears. He acknowledges

937
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 1: that he hears. The chance seemed to be a little

938
00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 1: bit fast because most times he seems to release it

939
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: when they say eleven or twelve. But the fact of

940
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: the matter is he's going through a routine that he

941
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: thinks works for him. I think until he hits pressure

942
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: free throws to help seal a finals game, the questions

943
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: will continue. But you know, we've seen this before with

944
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: other great players, whether it be Shack or whether it

945
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: be Wilton. It's almost like, Okay, you can do so

946
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: many things very well, We're gonna give you something you

947
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 1: can't do great And for him it's free throws. How

948
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 1: big has Chris Middleton been and can this team win

949
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: without him having a major performance in the NBA Finals?

950
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: We know Jannis is played well and you know the

951
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: Bucks have lass through some of his monster performances, But

952
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 1: how well and how important is Chris Middleton to this equation?

953
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: Because like you said, you touched on a little bit

954
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 1: is who's who's Jordan, Who's Pippin? Who's who? You know?

955
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,600
Speaker 1: Where do you stand? Well? I think you make a

956
00:44:56,600 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 1: good point about Middleton's importance, and I have thinkured underscored.

957
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: With Jhannis not being one hundred percent, does Chris Middleton

958
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: have to have a twenty three point quarter like he

959
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: had against Atlanta. No, but I don't think he can

960
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: be three for eighteen either for the Bucks to win

961
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 1: in this series. So I would say to you that

962
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: he needs to be who he is, which is a

963
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: very good player, an Olympian, a two time All Star,

964
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: a guy who I think, for whatever reason, has been

965
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: somewhat overlooked, and maybe he doesn't he doesn't self promote.

966
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: He's a second round pick who was essentially a throwing

967
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: in the Brandon Knight Brandon Jennings deal from Detroit, and

968
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: he's turned into a terrific player. He can go off

969
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: on you and when he gets hot, as we've seen,

970
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: it's it's fun to watch. He does have nights where

971
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 1: he doesn't have it, and so the shooting percentage isn't

972
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: isn't always great. But I think for the Bucks, to

973
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: answer your question, for the Bucks to win this series,

974
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: he has to be more on than off, and he

975
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: has to have some big efforts, especially if Johannis is curtailed.

976
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: All right, Dennis. Lastly, you're gonna finish the NBA Finals.

977
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna go right to training camp for the Packers

978
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 1: pregame show host for the Packers radio network when you

979
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: get to camp. Is Aaron Rodgers going to be there?

980
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: I wish I knew. My guess is no. My guess

981
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 1: is that this is going to stretch out a little

982
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 1: bit into the regular season, and they're going to see

983
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: what they have. And in Jordan Love, now, it's possible

984
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: that Rogers shows up and pulls the Russell Wilson and

985
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 1: essentially says, I don't know, you know, the media made

986
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 1: more of this. I wasn't really that upstair. I guess

987
00:46:32,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: that's possible that he's there in late July when camp opens,

988
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: But I'm I'm thinking this is going to stretch on

989
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: a while because the Aaron Rodgers I know, and I

990
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: don't pretend to be a close confident on her friend,

991
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: but the Aaron Rodgers I know holds onto things. He

992
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: doesn't just forgive and forget quickly. So I think whatever

993
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: problems there are, and there certainly must be some with

994
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: Packers management, I just don't see him putting that all

995
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 1: to the side. And suddenly showing up for training camp.

996
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm saying everything's fine. You can follow on Twitter at

997
