Speaker 3: I think it's getting better every time we co host

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 3: together because this time I remember to turn my talk

7
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 3: button on before I started talking.

8
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: That's a big deal.

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 3: So, I mean the show is going to be phenomenal

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:26,880

11
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: I agree with that, and Bridget and I have been

00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: spending quite a bit of time together for this week.

13
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 4: Right.

14
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: We had Sunday we oh yeah, I forgot I'm going

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 2: to an event that didn't end up inventing, so we

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: at dinner, and then Wednesday we were at the SBS. Yeah,

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: and now here we are today.

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: I am starting to put Tracy into my calendar three times.

19
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: A week because that makes me so happy.

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: I see you more than I see my nanny. But

21
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: that Big Sports Show award show on Wednesday, let's get

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 3: into it because it was so cool.

23
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: It was about your first red carpet.

24
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 3: Okay, my first red carpet. Guys, you know, nobody like

25
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 3: tells you what to do. I thought like the first

26
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 3: time you walk on a red carpet, you get up

27
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 3: to the front and they're like, okay, like stand here,

28
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: like look here, do this pose this way. No, they

29
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: were just like, okay, your next come on, and I'm

30
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: like freaking out all these cameras right in front of me.

31
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, I didn't even get a mirror. I couldn't

32
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: even fix my lip gloss, and you just get thrown

33
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: into it. Of course, the night wasn't about me, but

34
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: I want to let you guys know that I had

35
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: no idea what I was doing. Tracy's over here with

36
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: a like a pro standing next to Kyle and Christian.

37
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: You check just how I do. Come on this.

38
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: You know what, though, I this is so obnoxious. I

39
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 2: remember my first red carpet, which by the way, was

40
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 2: a year ago, so it wasn't like a million times

41
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: but it is a little but I found it kind

42
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: of fun. And they're like Tracy, look here, Tracy, look here.

43
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, okay.

44
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 3: I had to like go into character and be like, okay,

45
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna pretend that this is where I'm supposed

46
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 3: to be. These people have no idea what I who

47
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: I am, and they're like Bridget Bridget. The only reason

48
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: they're saying your name, guys, is because there's a whiteboard.

49
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: That that's your name, so that they know they know

50
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: who you are, but they have.

51
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: No idea who I am. But I faked it, like

52
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 3: I took a deep breath and I was like, you

53
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: better go out there and act like you're Jennifer.

54
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 2: Aniston, you know what, and you nailed it.

55
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 3: I need to work on my poses. If anyone's like

56
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,360

00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 3: your leg like the girlies do help a girl out.

58
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: Well, our our good friend mj Acosta Ruiz, she helped

Speaker 2: me pose because she did I'm okay with a pos,

60
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: but there's one specific pose and I was like, oh, okay,

00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: thank you. This is just maybe changed my life.

62
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,519

64
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: which gets me to my next point. Alana mar mm hmm,

65
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: unbelievable one of the best people that I met.

00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 3: we want to hear more about the athletes you saw.

Speaker 3: meet and we meet a lot of people in this world, right,

82
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: like obviously athletes, but then their wives or girlfriends and

83
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: just people who like sports that are on the sideline

84
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: pregame and a lot of times you meet someone and

00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: like it's just like you're great online, but in person

87
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: you're either like super awkward, not personal, couldn't care about

88
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: me at all, whatever. But Alana Mar took the time

89
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: to like have a full conversation and just her exception

90
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: speech and we can get into it later because that's

91

Speaker 3: one of my stories. Was just so positive for girls,

92
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: and I'm like, we need more people like you.

00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: her speech and he was like, oh, yeah, she's it.

96
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,280

00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson and Sierra walked by me, and Sierra did

100
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: turn and say hi, how are you? And I was like,

Speaker 2: Everybody knows who you are?

106
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 3: No, she was just being polite passing by.

107
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: I'm made up. Nope, as far as I'm concerned, she's

00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 2: And she was like, oh, why how are you?

111
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 3: She's like, how good luck on this radio show this weekend.

Speaker 2: you enjoyed the show.

115
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: We know she's listening. Who was your favorite person you saw?

116
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you know mine's going to have to

117
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: be Pookinakua.

118
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 3: Oh you guys tell him what you did?

119
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: So I had this idea for a TikTok. I know,

120
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody here on TikTok, but there's

121
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 2: this trending sound where two people shake hands like they've

122
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: just met each other or they've known each other a

123
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: long time whatever. And I really wanted to do this

124
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: TikTok with somebody at the event that I didn't know,

125
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 2: and we were hoping for Love is Blind, but we

126
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: got Lot Island. We were hoping for Love Island.

127
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: God, wait, too many dating shows, that's really fair.

128
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: But we're talking to Pookinakua and I was like, oh,

129
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: this is great because rams wide Receiver Fortnighters beat Reporter amazing.

130
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: And I asked him if he would do it, and

131
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: he was like, yeah, I would do it. We talked

132
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: to Jared Verse about it, who was like, yeah, that's great,

133
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 2: do it. And we did this TikTok and I have

134
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 2: to say, I really feel like good Sport. I mean,

135
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: that's the thing, going back to kind of what you

136
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: said before, like good Sport. Obviously, tremendous Wide Receiver could

137
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: have been like I don't do social media. I don't

138
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: want to do that, and that would have been totally fine.

139
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: And also fort natter's beat reporter. They'm not forn Air's

140
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: fan reporter. That's like kind of the enemy. But uh,

141
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 2: he did it. It was great. It was so fun Pooka Nakoua.

142
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: I remember this is thirty year in the league, right.

143
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: So three summers ago was the first time I went

144
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: to Rams training camp and I asked Jordan rod Grieg,

145
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 3: great reporter for the Athletic. I was like, who should

146
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: I talk to you? That's like, I don't know, you know,

147
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: everybody goes to Cooper Cup and Matthew Stafford. I was like,

148
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 3: who's like kind of you know, a nobody. She was like,

149
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 3: go talk to pook and Akoua. He's spent so good

150
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: during training camp. He's going to be great. He was

151
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: an awesome interview, and I remember like nobody was at

152
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 3: his locker right and I was like, oh and so

153
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: he opened up so much to me and then blew up.

154
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: But all that to say, he has been the exact

155
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: same to me since that very first time I went

156
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: to his locker three summers ago, and no one knew

157
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,440

Speaker 2: Yes they did. These women did step it up and

184
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: it was it was a lot of fun to watch

185
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: and like the orange carpet. I Angel Reese gets me

186
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: because she was an All Leopard and that she is

187
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: going to get me every time. So that was truly incredible.

188
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: But the All Star Game is tonight. We'll be talking

189
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: about it a little bit more in the second hour

190
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 2: with our guest. But last night three point contests and

191
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 2: Kia Skills Challenge, and of course Sabrino wins it second

192
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: one a second three point contest Friday night, and she's

193
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: the becoming the second player to win multiple Shootouts's good.

194
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: For She's incredible. I mean, scoring thirty points in that

195
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 3: final round. I was like waiting for her to mass.

196
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: She was just like swish, swish, swish swish. I was like, dang, Like,

197
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 3: why are people not talking about her the way they

198
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: talk about Steph Curry as a shooter.

199
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: Well, and it's funny that you mentioned Steph Curry because

200
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: she said one of the things that really motivated her

201
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 2: is she lost to Steph Curry in the NBA All

202
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: Star Game Skills Challenge, So I think it's the Skills Challenge,

203
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: So she said that was extra motivating. So it's funny

204
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: that you bring him up. But I don't know because

205
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 2: she's tremendous and she she literally nailed it every.

206
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: Shot And did you hear what she did with her money?

207
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 2: Yes, I sure did. It's a I'm just going to

208
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 2: bring it up later were we talk about now.

209
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: Well, I mean this, sorry, but that's incredible, Like not

210
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: only are you an incredible athlete m sinking threes, but

211
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: then you're like, oh, yeah, I'm going to donate. She

212
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: donated half of the money to the foundation and then

213
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: the other half to Sonya the rookie. Yes, like trying

214
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 3: to make her feel confident being her first time in

215
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 3: the three point skill shooting contest. She was like, if

216
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 3: I win, like, I'll give you half my money.

217
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: Which is so nice.

218
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just how often do you see people

219
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: in a competitive sport have that kind of like camaraderie.

220
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, not all the time. Sometimes she'll see it on

221
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: a team, but you have people and two separate teams,

222
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: this rookie coming in, you don't necessarily see that all

223
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: the time. But that was really fantastic. That well, it

224
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 2: warmed my heart. It was a feel good story and

225
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: it made it really really warmed my heart. It made

226
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: me made me happy to see it because those are

227
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: the kind of stories that you like to hear, you

228
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: like to see, and so that made me happy. I

229
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: liked it.

230
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it definitely just helps the sport. You know,

231
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 3: like one hundred percent are more excited and comfortable for

232
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 3: the three point contest and like she's gonna now.

233
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 2: She was the only rookie in it, so yeah, yeah,

234
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: in two.

235
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: Three years when she's the VET and there's a rookie

236
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: like she'll maybe do the same thing, and like it

237
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 3: just kind of like passing the torch down and helping

238
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: the competition evolve year after year and feel confident, because

239
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,599
Speaker 3: that's like half the battle with any professional sport. You

240
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 3: got to you gotta feel confident what you're doing.

241
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: That is very true. And I think also in any

242
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 2: job company, not just sports, when you get an example

243
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: like that, then you tend to continue it on, like

244
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: you said, and so it's nice to see a good

245
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: example because the opposite could be true also, you can

246
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: get a negative example and then so it was it

247
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: was really nice to see that. So that was very fun.

248
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: And then tonight the game from Indianapolis Team Clark versus

249
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: Team call Yer. Clark will not be in it, however,

250
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 2: she has a groin injury. But it should be fun.

251
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 2: I'm excited about it.

252
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: I'm excited about it. They added that new four point shot, which,

253
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 3: like Sabrina Yonescu is probably going to be shooting more

254
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 3: four points than layups in the first quarter. Like, I'm

255
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: not gonna be surprised if we see more fours than.

256
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: You get two. You get two per half, Okay, so

257
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: we'll get two, will get two in each halt, and

258
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: that'll be I think she'll make.

259
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: But like, if you could, I think that they should

260
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 3: add it to the game. I think so too.

261
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 2: They're definitely be that would be Could you imagine, like

262
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: in the w NBA Finals, the NBA Finals, in those

263
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: last minute, if you could hit a four point shot,

264
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: what that would do? That would be tremendous.

265
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: That would be so much fun. It's just going to

266
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: be interesting to see, Like who attempts it? Yeah, are

267
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: they all gonna like if you have an open three,

268
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: are you going to step back to try to get

269
00:10:59,120 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: to the four?

270
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: I think competitively you have to, and this is the

271
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: time to do it. It's an all star game.

272
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,239
Speaker 3: Well, that's the thing that I love about the WNBA

273
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 3: and how we've seen it continue to evolve over the

274
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,359
Speaker 3: past couple of seasons. It's like they're testing the boundaries

275
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 3: and the fans are loving it. Like it's kind of

276
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: why they're having this big cultural movement is because they're

277
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 3: listening to fans say like, oh, it's you know, boring,

278
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: or it's this or that. It's like, okay, well, how

279
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: can we make it more interesting? And even just with

280
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: the fits too, it's like they're becoming fashion icons. People

281
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: are watching the WNBA because they're getting to know these

282
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 3: individual players. They're looking to them, what is Page wearing,

283
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: What is Caitlin Clark wearing? How can I kind of

284
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: replicate them? And like, for these young girls, how can

285
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 3: I dress just like them? And that's why we love

286
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: NBA players, That's why we love any professional athlete, and

287
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 3: IFEL players you want to see what they're wearing.

288
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's really just MLB players on a daily basis.

289
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 2: But at the MLB All Star Game we'll talk more

290
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: about that later. Those red carpet fits were fantastic. I

291
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 2: think the sports and fashion crossover has been really fun

292
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: to watch. I mean, you've got like Joe Burrow and

293
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: Paris fashion shows, which is kind of fun. Step On

294
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: Diggs like that's kind of fun to see, and so

295
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: it makes sense that the WNBA are doing it too.

296
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: It's been great and I don't know how people can

297
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 2: say this is boring, Like, watch it, it's not boring.

298
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 2: A tremendous talent on them.

299
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 3: You're saying it's boring and you're turning off the TV

300
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: before you can even watch five minutes. Yes, you're shutting

301
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 3: the book before it you even get to the good part.

302
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 2: I was at a conference earlier this week and one

303
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 2: of the panelists said that she thinks it's funny, not funny, haha,

304
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 2: but funny that people will come on talk sports talk

305
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 2: shows and be like, I mean, I don't watch the

306
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: w NBA, but here are my thoughts. Well, oh my god,

307
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: that's just silly. But watch the All Star Game tonight,

308
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: you guys. It's gonna be so good. Who do you

309
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 2: think is going to win?

310
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: Well, okay, we didn't even talk about the biggest part.

311
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark is not playing, yeah, which is like, it's

312
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 3: just a huge blow to Also, her week is supposed

313
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: to be a place for fans to get to see

314
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 3: their stars, and she is there, She'll she'll be there Sideline. Yeah, coaching,

315
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: but ticket prices dropped what like almost fifty percent after

316
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: the news that she wasn't going to play. She is

317
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: such a big part of the WNBA, it's almost like

318
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: it kind of hurts it when she's not there, right,

319
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: Like that's amazing for what she can do, but it's

320
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: almost like, oh, I wish you weren't that big a

321
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: part of it because now we're getting like the reverse effect.

322
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 3: We need other people. So it's not just her carrying

323
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: the league on her back. But I mean, if she

324
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: was playing, definitely her team, we'll see how she can

325
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 3: be as a coach.

326
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: Well you know what that is where to see a

327
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: new skill set. Something tells me she's going to be

328
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: good at it because she seems to be really good

329
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: at everything that she does. You guys, we have so

Speaker 3: I'm very impressed. I know we both have been having

347

348
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 3: Thank everybody for bearing with us here. But that was impressive.

349

Speaker 2: Trace, thank you, thank you very much. You know what

350
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: else is impressive? You know, transitions are like my favorite

351
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 2: part of this. You're so, what else is impressive? Being

352
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: the highest paid non quarterback in the league and the

353
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: highest pig guard of the league. You guys were talking

354
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 2: Tray Smith and TJ. Watt. NFL training camps are upon

355
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: us and leading into it. Some guys got paid this

356
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: week and well deserved.

357
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 3: I've got some thoughts on this, please do. TJ. Watt

358
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 3: is the best, one of the best, if not the best,

359
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 3: at his job. What he does deserves to get paid

360
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: for sure. I've just I need to see results from

361
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 3: the Steelers this season. I am sick of them starting

362
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: the season strong. They always like, get us on their side.

363
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 3: This is the year, this is the Steelers. I love

364
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin. I think he does a great job. Never

365
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: had a losing season yet. But what's happening after Thanksgiving?

366
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 3: What's happening in the.

367
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 2: Playoffs, because that's when it matters.

368
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: And I understand that you want to be this defensive

369
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 3: team and pay TJ. Watt. He one hundred percent deserves it,

370
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 3: Let's not get that wrong. But what does this mean?

371
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: What what is Aaron Rodgers going to do on offense?

372
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: Well that is the multimillion dollar question, and nobody knows.

373
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I just don't know, I think, And maybe

374
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: this is unfair to Aaron Rodgers' words. I didn't think

375
00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 2: I was going to utter today, but I just don't

376
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: have high hopes based on what we saw in New York.

377
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 2: But that being said, he was obviously coming off a

378
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: major injury the Jets, and things often tend to just

379
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 2: go wrong there, so maybe this is a really good

380
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: thing for him. I think it's also be good for

381
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: him to have a coach like Mike Tomlin who's like, yeah,

382
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: I'm not doing this with you, you're gonna do what.

383
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 3: I think Mike Tomlin's gonna say that.

384
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: I do. I think that's part of the deal. I don't.

385
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 2: I do not see Mike Tomlin being like, sure, Aaron,

386
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: whatever you say. I just don't.

387
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 3: I hope you're right. I hope you're right because I

388
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: think there needs to be a little from everyone, right.

389
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: I don't think Mike Tomlin should have full say. I

390
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: don't think Aaron Rodgers should. But I think there needs

391
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: to be a little push and pull, like give and

392
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 3: take kind of situation for it to work. Because again,

393
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin loves to run the ball. They like are

394
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: that AFC North is like hard gritting football. We are

395
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: gonna run down your next That's not really what Aaron

396
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: Rodgers game is the best passer in the league. So

397
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 3: how is that gonna How is that gonna fit together?

398
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 3: And then we talk about TJ. Watt, who, Yes, you

399
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: need defense to win championships. We all know that. But

400
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 3: would I have loved them to suspend some of their

401
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: money getting him a couple more weapons on offense? Maybe?

402
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: Yes, But this is the thing with the salary cap.

403
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: There's only there's only so much well, it's interesting when

404
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 2: you talk about you know, that's not Aaron Rodgers' game.

405
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: Maybe that will be the difference for them. Maybe that

406
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: makes them not fall apart after Thanksgiving that they now

407
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 2: have two things that they are going to be able

408
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 2: to do and do well. Maybe Aaron Rodgers, maybe big,

409
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: maybe get some over that.

410
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 6: Hub.

411
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,239
Speaker 3: I totally agree with you what you're saying, but like

412
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna say to that is, you need to

413
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: be able to put up the points that Dereck Henry

414
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 3: and Lamar Jackson are going to be. Yeah, you need

415
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 3: to be able to put up the points that Joe

416
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: Burrow and Jamar Chase and t Higgins are going to do.

417
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: And they have Terray Hendrickson on defense. You know, like,

418
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 3: how are you gonna the AFC North is going to

419
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 3: be so competitive and how are the Steelers going to

420
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: fit in?

421
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

422
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 3: That's my question is like one hundred percent tj wat

423
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: should get paid and hopefully that is the security blanket

424
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 3: for Aaron Rodgers. But it's just how are they going

425
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: to arrange the money elsewhere for them to still be

426
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: competitive on offense as competitive as Baltimore and Cincinnati.

427
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: Well, and when you put it that way, and there's

428
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: very likely that the Steelers finish fourth in the division.

429
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: I think they'll finish above Cleveland.

430
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 2: But oh yeah, I forgot about Cleveland. They'll definitely finish

431
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 2: above Yeah.

432
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 3: I mean, who knows. Maybe Shure Orck Sanders goes out

433
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: there and shuts everybody up.

434
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: Maybe, But Cleveland is a little bit like the Jets,

435
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 2: where it just.

436
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 3: Never it never works. But the other thing that when

437
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 3: I was looking into this deal, which, as you mentioned

438
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: off off microphone, that a lot of news happened in

439
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: the NFL. What does this mean for Micah Parsons. That's

440
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,719
Speaker 3: the thing that is really interesting. And like this NFL

441
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: situation where people are getting paid and waiting on other

442
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 3: players in their position to get paid, right, it's kind.

443
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: Of like cowboys are big on that.

444
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, so do it all the time. But like, is

445
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 3: that the right thing? Because now you're gonna have to

446
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: pay Micah Parsons. He's gonna more than what TJ. Watt got, Yeah,

447
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 3: and does he deserve it? Like if you put Micah

448
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 3: Parsons and TJ. Watt next to each other, right, do

449
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 3: you think they're equivalent?

450
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I don't know that. I think

451
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: they're equivalent. I do think Michael Parsons is excellent his job,

452
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,959
Speaker 2: but this is kind of the way of the NFL

453
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: and how it's going now. Is that now that this

454
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: contract and he's gonna get more. We've seen it with

455
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: a number of quarterbacks. Like I said, the Cowboys really

456
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: seem to enjoy this way of doing things. I don't

457
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 2: understand why. I don't either, but he probably he probably

458
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: will get more, even if it's just that little bit more.

459
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 3: Right like forty two or whatever. Right, But I don't

460
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: think he deserves more. I think TJ. Watt is a

461
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: generational franchise player. He is a game changer, right, Like

462
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 3: when you're playing and I cover a lot of AFC North,

463
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 3: and whenever I'm talking to Cincinnati or Baltimore and they're

464
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 3: going up against the Steelers, TJ. Watt's name is said

465
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 3: multiple times throughout the conversation. You have to prepare for

466
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: him more so than any other player, aside from maybe

467
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 3: like Chris Jones in the NF. Right, like, he can

468
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 3: completely change a game, have the opportunity. I don't necessarily

469
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: think Micah Parsons is there. He's much younger, right, like

470
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: maybe he still proves himself in these next couple of

471
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 3: years and you're gonna pay him the same.

472
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, because he is definitely not a game changer.

473
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: And the Cowboys again a team that needs some stars.

474
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 3: They need help, and you're wasting your money now on

475
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 3: or not wasting it, but you're gonna have to assign

476
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: a lot more money than you probably wanted to to

477
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: this player.

478
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're one hundred percent correct. It'll be interesting to

479
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 2: see how that plays out.

480
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna think it's like, maybe sign these players earlier.

481
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 3: But I'm not a GM. I don't know. I'm all owner.

482
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 2: I mean, based on this conversation, I think you could

483
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: be a GM because she you, Tracy, You're welcome.

484
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: You know.

485
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: I try to be really support and encouraging, but I

486
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: do I do agree with you on that. And it's

487
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 2: crazy that we're here this NFL season. To me, and

488
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: maybe we have we forget every year. But I feel

489
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: like there's just a lot of interesting things to be

490
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 2: looking at, Like are some of these teams that have

491
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 2: really struggled to the pass are they going to get better?

492
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 5: Like?

493
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: Are the Jets really going to turn a corner? And

494
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: start building towards the future. How is Ben Johnson going

495
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: to do in Chicago? Did their off season moves help?

496
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: There's so many things. Obviously the Steelers, the Steelers feel

497
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 2: like the biggest one, but it's a lot to think

498
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 2: about in the season.

499
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 3: There's just so many question marks, right like, what is

500
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 3: should or Sanders going to look like in the NFL?

501
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 3: What is Travis Hunter going to look like? That's Tim

502
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: Ward like, There's so many question marks. And I think

503
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: we get to this point where we have been dying

504
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: for NFL games and we're almost there. We're almost not

505
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 3: We're almost able to stop talking about this.

506
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 2: We we almost are. But you know what I'm dying for?

507
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 2: An update from the great Martin Lice.

508
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 6: Well, don't you know it'll be okay. Bottom of the

509
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 6: sixth ending the Giants with a two to nothing lead

510
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 6: over the Blue Jays. Top of the first inning, Red

511
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: and the Mets out of that rain to like scoreless,

512
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 6: so as they're just getting started to play home taking

513
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 6: the mount for the Mets' home tecond amount of the match.

514
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 6: The middle of the second any Marlins with a one

515
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 6: nothing lead over the Royals and the WNBA getting ready

516
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 6: for the WA All Star Game getting started at eight

517
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,000

518
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 6: to be coaching the team helping out the Indiana fever.

519
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, the New York Liberty head coach Sandy Brontello

520
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 6: is that's the team she'll be coaching. In Minnesota's Cheryl

521
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 6: Reeve is coaching team Fista Collier.

522
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 3: So Caylen Clark will be.

523
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 6: There, will be involved, and will be a part of

Speaker 2: even though it doesn't really feel like there's been an

547
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 2: off season, but lots of stories this week training camps.

Speaker 5: doing well.

555
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 2: We are doing well. We are both very excited to

556
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: talk to you. Bridget and I were just talking about

557
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers, and I'd like to open with that and

558
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: get your thoughts. I don't think anyone knows the league better.

559
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 4: Than you do.

560
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 2: They've obviously just paid TJ. Watt, What are you expecting

561
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 2: from this team?

562
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's interesting because you know, you see

563
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 5: that they pushed all the chips in the middle, you know,

564
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 5: going out making the trade for Jalen Ramsey, signing Aaron Rodgers,

565
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: going on fan big Bucks, a DK Metcalf fan big

566
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 5: Bucks at TJ. Watt, I'm expecting them to be good,

567
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 5: but you know, you still have to wonder are they

568
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 5: good enough to get past the elite teams in the AFC.

569
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you've got Kansas City, You've got Buffalo.

570
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 5: I think Denver is going to be really, really good

571
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 5: this year. The Chargers could be really good, you know,

572
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 5: and just in their division? Are they Are they better

573
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 5: than the Ravens. I don't think we can sit here

574
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 5: with all the moves that they've made and say, wow,

575
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 5: the Steelers. You know, I expect them to win the

576
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 5: AFC North. I still think the Ravens are the team

577
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: to beat, but you know, the Steelers would probably be

578
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 5: plus five hundred again. Oh, they paid a lot of

579
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 5: money to a lot of players and made a lot

580
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 5: of moves hoping that they can get to the Super

581
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 5: Bowl this year.

582
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 3: We were just kind of talking about that, Steve, and

583
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 3: just so great to hear your voice. I'm so excited

584
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 3: to see you next week. It's been a long time

585
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: that I haven't heard the great Steve White. So I

586
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 3: want to ask you about the money that the Steelers

587
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: have spent. It feels like TJ. Watt is a player

588
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: that deserves the amount he got paid, right, But does

589
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers have enough on offense with what they're doing

590
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: financially to help this team win a playoff game?

591
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 5: I think so. I mean, look, they that offensive line

592
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 5: has improved. The running back situation. Will see, they went out,

593
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 5: they drafted the big running back out of Iowa. They've

594
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,479
Speaker 5: got some talent at the skilled position because it's it's

595
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 5: dk Metcalf. We'll see how they fortify on the other side.

596
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 5: But I mean they've got pieces there and they've got

597
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 5: a system there.

598
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 3: I think.

599
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 5: You know, you know, they went on they got John

600
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 5: and Smith as part of the Jalen Ramsey trade. He

601
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 5: got a lot of history with Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator.

602
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 5: So you know, look, the one thing the Steelers have

603
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 5: done two things that are very uncharacteristic. One, they just

604
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 5: went out and crazy signed a lot of outside talent,

605
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 5: which they typically don't do. And then they've kind of

606
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: made their offense because of Aaron Rodgers almost like a

607
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 5: pass first offense. I won't say that, but the money

608
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 5: they spent to enhance their passing game is something that

609
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 5: the Steelers don't do. I mean, they're they're a run

610
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,640
Speaker 5: first team, a wide receiver draft and developed type of team.

611
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 5: So you know, again, will will see. I think if

612
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers is healthy, I think they're going to be

613
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 5: good enough. I think their defense is going to be

614
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 5: really good. Their defensive line should be a lot better.

615
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 5: But again, you just, you just I really like the Steelers.

616
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 5: When you look at the rest of the af seed,

617
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 5: you even you ask yourself, either even a top five

618
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 5: team on paper, let alone on the field.

619
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 2: Well, it's going to be interesting to see how that goes.

620
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: Let's talk about another team in the AFC. The Chiefs

621
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 2: signed Trey Smith this week. It was a big it

622
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: was a big week for some big signings. But I've

623
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: saw some stuff this week. I'm really interested that people

624
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: think maybe this is the first year since Patrick Mahomes

625
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: is quarterback that they don't win the division. What are

626
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: your thoughts on that. I can't decide.

627
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 5: I'm up in the air, so I'm going to ask you, well,

628
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I think it's kind of the law

629
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 5: of averages. People are asking, well, they can't keep winning

630
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 5: and winning and winning and winning, especially when we saw

631
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 5: the Chargers in the Broncos make the playoffs last year

632
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 5: and the Broncos again. They look really strong, which on

633
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 5: the moves they've made. They've got a good offensive line,

634
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 5: their defense has a ton of face mask bending players

635
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 5: Tracy notice from covering him. They added Drake Greenlaw, who

636
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 5: is such a good player at linebacker. They added Talano Kufenga,

637
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 5: They draft a stud corner slash slat corner. And then offensively,

638
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 5: bon Nicks. You know, I saw him play a couple

639
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 5: of times in person. I am a huge Bonis man.

640
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: I think he's a really, really good player. And on

641
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 5: top of some of the other additions they've made, they've

642
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 5: changed out their offensive backfield. They draft R. J. Harvey

643
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 5: at the UCF like that's a really that's a really

644
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 5: dangerous football team. And then there's the Chargers. To me,

645
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 5: the Chargers are going to be good, but I still

646
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 5: wonder if they've got that you know enough explosiveness. You know,

647
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 5: they they they're changing their backfield some you know with

648
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 5: Najie Harris with that fire works into them if that

649
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 5: takes him out of the loop at all. But do

650
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 5: they have enough big play explosive play guys, you can

651
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 5: take a six yard game into a sixty yard game.

652
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 5: I still don't know if they're there yet. But they're

653
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 5: a problem as well. But I mean when it comes

654
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 5: to Kansas City, they've got the best quarterback they still have,

655
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 5: they still have got a great defense, and until some

656
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 5: one knocks them off, you know, they're still the team

657
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 5: to beat. I mean you we continue to talk about

658
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 5: all we want about the Broncos and Chargers and and

659
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 5: the Raiders are to be better. Let's not forget about them.

660
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: They're going to be better. But until someone can mentally

661
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 5: get over that Kansas City hump, you know, there's still

662
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 5: They're still the Kings of the Hill.

663
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 3: I've covered the Chargers for the past five seasons and

664
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 3: I'm right there with you, Steve. It's it's such a

665
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: mental game for these teams to be able to go

666
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 3: in and say I can beat this team. I want

667
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 3: to stay in the AFC West and ask you about

668
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll in Vegas. You mentioned Vegas is going to

669
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 3: be better. What is Pete Carroll going to be able

670
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 3: to do because they're a team too that has a

671
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: lot of mental hurders they need to get.

672
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 5: Over well with them. I mean, the one thing that

673
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 5: where the Raiders are different than all the other clubs

674
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 5: is in the atmosphere and they're building, right, They're one

675
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 5: of a few teams that still they really hang on

676
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 5: to the just when baby commitment to excellence. They they've

677
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 5: yet to kind of step out of the shadow of

678
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: their deep past, and I think Pete Pete's one of

679
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: the guys are going to be able to do it

680
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 5: because look, the last couple of years, there's been so

681
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 5: much negativity, you know, even from the coaches, and you

682
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 5: know from Josh McDaniels, you know Rich Pasacia, you know

683
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 5: turned things around as an interim, but there's been so

684
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 5: much uncertainty. There so much uncertainty a quarterback. Well, they've

685
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 5: got a very positive head coach in Pete Carroll, who's

686
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 5: great at developing talent. You look at those Seahawks teams, right,

687
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 5: remember think about that league in the Boom defense. You

688
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 5: had only one first round draft pick on that defense,

689
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 5: and that was safety Earl Thomas. You think about the

690
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 5: offenses that Pete Carroll had in Seattle, look at his

691
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 5: wide receivers Doug Baldon and Jermaine Kurse. I may be wrong,

692
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 5: but I think both of them were undrafted players. So

693
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 5: he's a great developer of talent. He's got a really

694
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 5: good staff. So now he's got a quarterback and Gino Smith.

695
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 5: They've got some talent at the skill position. You know,

696
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 5: running back, we know tight end with Rock Bowers, they're loaded.

697
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 5: We think wide receiver, you got Jakobe Myers, maybe Jack

698
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 5: Betch comes around. It's just on defense right now. You

699
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 5: can see they put their commitment on developing the offense

700
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 5: defensive that they got some players. But then they go

701
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 5: out and they sign like linebackers Jermaine Pratt, Newlands and

702
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 5: Roberts tackling machines, the guys that their previous team decided

703
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 5: where we're expendable, Christian Wilkins not being a big money

704
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 5: free agent last year out with that foot injury for

705
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 5: a while. I think they're going to be better, I think,

706
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 5: But does that translate into ten wins? Not everyone in

707
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 5: that division. Canna have ten wins. That's gonna be the

708
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 5: toughest division from top to bottom. So we'll see, but

709
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 5: they will be better under Pete Carroll.

710
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: So turning into the NFC, I've seen so many people

711
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 2: kind of crowned Jade and Daniels now one of the

712
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 2: league's top ten quarterbacks. And he was tremendous last season,

713
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: absolutely tremendous, and I don't see any reason that he

714
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: would necessarily falter.

715
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 3: But do you expect there to.

716
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 2: Be any kind of slump for we a little bit

717
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 2: early in our enthusiasm about him being one of the

718
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 2: top ten quarterbacks Anaville, I think.

719
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 5: He's gond be better. I think he's going to be better.

720
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 5: They went on, they got him Maarony Tunsell, they went on,

721
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 5: they got him, Deebo Samuel. You know, they'll get the

722
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 5: Terry mclaurrn contract situation taking care of. You know. I

723
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 5: just think they're going to be able to do more

724
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 5: things under center now. He allowed them to do a

725
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 5: lot last year. He came in very polished. A lot

726
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 5: of people I speak to their you know, just talk

727
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 5: about how he was able even in training camp early

728
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 5: in his career, to make the right check call at

729
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage when they were intentionally trying to

730
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: fool him with certain things. You know, I wouldn't expect

731
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 5: him to run as much, but I think he can

732
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 5: be better because look, I think their defense is going

733
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 5: to be better. At Von Miller signing, like, don't I

734
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: don't underreact to that, right, they had a defensive line

735
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 5: that's built to stop the run. And speaking of someone there,

736
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 5: you know, they were like, look, we got in situations

737
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 5: last year where teams weren't second five and third and

738
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 5: two all the time. We can't keep putting our defense

739
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 5: in situations like this. So they want so on first

740
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 5: down the way they build their defensive line. Okay, let's

741
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 5: get a team a second nine known passing situations. Then

742
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 5: we've got guys who can take the ball all the way.

743
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 5: Now we've got more a healthy Marshaun Lattimore, Mikey Singer

744
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 5: still is a player. They've got some guys safety who

745
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 5: they really really like. So I think overall, with a

746
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 5: team being better and him having more opportunities to make plays,

747
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 5: I think you Dan is going to be even better

748
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 5: than he was.

749
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: As a rook all right, See real quick, I got

750
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: to ask you saying in the NFC East about the

751
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: Cowboys and what the TJ. Watt deal means for Michaeh Parsons,

752
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: who needs a contract, and what can we expect from

753
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 3: the Cowboys legitimately this season.

754
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 5: I think it'll be better offensively. Michael Parsons is going

755
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 5: to get paid because the Cowboys always wait for other

756
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 5: people to set the market, So Mike is going to

757
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 5: get paid a ton of money. I expect him to

758
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 5: be a training camp. But I think the Cowboys will

759
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 5: be better usually will me count them out when they

760
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 5: play well. And from people on the league you talked

761
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 5: about Brian Schottenheimer, they think he's going to be a

762
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 5: really good head coach.

763
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: Fantastic. Thank you so much, Steve. Looking forward to seeing

764
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 2: you at a press box very very soon. Thank you

00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 3: On the dot the subject brings me no joy.

775
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 2: That's insane.

776
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: It's time for the dues and the dons in sports.

777
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 2: All right, bridget I am actually going to start with

778
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,920
Speaker 2: this one because it's about one of my most favorite

779
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 2: humans that walks there in football, and that would be

780
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 2: Jim Harbond. Jim Harbaugh, don't ever change. Do always say

781
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 2: the same, so I guess if they do and a don't.

782
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, Jim harbor is press conference, Daniel Popper

783
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: from The Athletic tweeted the following, Jim harbaud just spent

784
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: about five minutes detailing all twenty two foul balls. He's

785
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 2: caught his life, he said. In high school, Barry Bonds

786
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: nearly hit for the cycle off of him. He talked

787
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: about meeting seven presidents in Pope Francis. First practice starts

788
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: in thirty minutes. We are very back and that is

789
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: the most Jim Harbaugh press conference. Unfortunately the chickens were

790
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 2: not mentioned. But other than that, I love it. Do

791
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,959
Speaker 2: always be Jim harback.

792
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: Tracy, this is funny that you mentioned talking about somebody

793
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 3: that you are in love with because I thought we

794
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 3: were about to have the same ones, because I have

795
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 3: one for you. Oh my gosh, don't be with Tracy Sandler.

796
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: When sho hey Otani gets passed up on an award

797
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 3: for an award fair He obviously was up for an

798
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 3: award at that big award show this past week for

799
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 3: Best Male Athlete and lost to SGA, and Tracy was

800
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 3: upset about it.

801
00:35:57,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I'm just saying, if you're gonna go

802
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 2: like fifty nine fifty four, break tremendous wrecords and then

803
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: go and win a world Series with your team and

804
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 2: your first year with the team, I'm just saying, that

805
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: feels to me like fail out here. I'm just saying,

806
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,919
Speaker 2: I mean the record breaking alone, but you know whatever,

807
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 2: his dog could throw out a first pitch. I'm just saying,

808
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 2: I just feel it was no offense to SGA. It

809
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 2: just felt like it should have been showhy. And I

810
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: know I'm biased.

811
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 3: Nobody would be able to tell no I no one

812
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: be able to.

813
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 2: Tell it all that I'm just a little bit biased.

814
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 2: But I'm glad you brought that up because I was.

815
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: I was peeved with someone, You were angry, you were angry,

816
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 2: A little bit angry. You'd be a little bit angry.

817
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 2: Oh well, uh, do go all out with your Super

818
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,000
Speaker 2: Bowl ring, you guys. The Eagles debut at their Super

819
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: Bowl ring. It is pretty amazing. First of all, there's

820
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 2: a little hitt and button that you press it and

821
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 2: wings extend on either side of it, and it reveals,

822
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 2: as saying of coach Nick Sirianni, you can't be great

823
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 2: without the greatness of others. It has forty points of

824
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 2: diamonds in World Champions for the forty points scored against

825
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, five diamonds on the special feature button representing

826
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,440
Speaker 2: the five players who scored in the Super Bowl, a

827
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 2: carot of Marquee shaped diamonds. I could go on and on,

828
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: but this ring is a plus.

829
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: All right? Do I got another? Do do be alone?

830
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 3: O mar and inspire girls of all sizes. She won

831
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 3: an award this week and her speech was amazing. If

832
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: you haven't listened to it, I encourage you to go listen.

833
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 3: She said, strongest, beautiful, strong, as powerful, sexy as whatever

834
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 3: you want it to be. Sports does amazing things for

835
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 3: a girl who didn't understand why her body looked the

836
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 3: way it did, and I have to say, in a

837
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 3: world full of ozepic, having a woman like her with

838
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 3: a beautiful body might just be different than what you

839
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 3: see on social media. Encouraging people young athletes to be

840
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 3: proud of who they are. That is what we need,

841
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 3: not filters and crazy edited images online. We need real

842
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 3: people saying you can do whatever you want, regardless of

843
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 3: what you look like.

844
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: And when she said that a girl who didn't understand,

845
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: you know, why her body looked like this, and that

846
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 2: how sports gave her so much confidence, that that personally

847
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: really spokes me. I think speaks to so many girls

848
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: because we've all been brought up to believe that one

849
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 2: thing is beautiful and I think, you know, we all

850
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: as women probably go through something and I certainly dealt

851
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 2: with many a body image issue in my life. And

852
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 2: when she said that, that just really spoked me. She

853
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: I know, we talked about it earlier and you just

854
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 2: said it, but she just was truly tremendous, and seeing

855
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 2: her in person, talking to her, hearing her speech in person,

856
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 2: it's just as much as I liked to reform, it

857
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: just gave her up to another excellence.

858
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: We need more of her And I got size ten

859
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 3: feet Tracy, these things are not what you see on

860
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 3: the runway, and she told me, hey, keep rocking those.

861
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: I love that.

862
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: See I love that. That's amazing. That is amazing. All right,

863
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: I have a do shoot your shot. We talked about

864
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 2: it earlier the Puka Takua TikTok, but it was a

865
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: little bit nervous to ask. And then I was like,

866
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: what's the worst that happens? He says no, And that's

867
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: a good thing in life. I'm not saying, go ask

868
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,919
Speaker 2: a lot of out of pocket things, but in life,

869
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 2: shoot your shot. In sports, actually it's obviously it's a

870
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: sport preference in your job because you just never know,

871
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 2: and if you hear a no, the world is not

872
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: going to come to it.

873
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 3: All right, do be obsessed with the WMBA and the

874
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 3: way they're showing out. It's okay. It's okay to admit

875
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 3: that these women have swag. Their stylists are working overtime

876
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 3: getting them from the red carpet to the orange carpet,

877
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 3: and it is okay to like women's sports. How many

878
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: times do I have to say it? We support women

879
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 3: here on the show, and you should too, because what

880
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: they are doing is a cultural movement in the w

881
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 3: and you don't want to be missing what they're doing.

882
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 3: The train is on on the trucks and it's taken off,

883
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: and you better get off of the bench and hop

884
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 3: on because this is only the beginning and you don't

885
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 3: want to you don't want to miss out.

886
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 4: Girl.

00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,080

Speaker 2: But bye bye All Star break. Hello second half of

Speaker 2: I don't think you could want anymore? It was, it

906
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: was awesome. And now though now the fun really begins

907
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 2: because you have something to say.

908
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: I can see different definitions for fun. For sure. I

909
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 3: saw Kirsen Watson this week and I was like, girl,

910
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: how are you doing? And for people who don't know,

911
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 3: Kirsen Watson is the Dodgers reporter. Because baseball tracy so long.

912
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 3: It is a long season. It is eighth When did

913
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: they play in Japan? March?

914
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: March?

915
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 3: Opening day was in March, okay, And we are in July,

916
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 3: and we're halfway done.

917
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 2: We are a little So here's a fun fact. I

918
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 2: for many years, up until about two days ago, when

919
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: someone told me I was wrong, I thought the All

920
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:48,240
Speaker 2: Star Game was truly like right halfway there. It turns

921
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: out we're a little more halfway there.

922
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 3: What like a couple games.

923
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think we're even more than that, because we're

924
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 2: a little bit more halfway there. And I can ask

925
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: chat schiebt it a minute, exactly how many more games

926
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 2: there are to go? We loved too, but it is

927
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 2: a little more than halfway I'm not saying it's not long.

928
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: There's still and for teams that go into the playoffs,

929
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: go deep into the playoffs, go the World Series, they're

930
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: miles to go. But I only want to bring that

931
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 2: up because I just learned this the other day, because

932
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, it'll be exactly eighty one games.

933
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 5: It was not.

934
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 3: It just feels like, as you would say, a marathon. Yeah,

935
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 3: I'm not a sprint, but this is the time where

936
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 3: I would say you are a die hard baseball fan.

937
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: This is correct for someone like me. I was a

938
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 3: die hard growing up, but now I'm so focused in

939
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,399
Speaker 3: the NFL. Not a diehard baseball fan by any means,

940
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,920
Speaker 3: I will say, as fans like me, though, this is

941
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: the time that gets exciting when we turn the calendar

942
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 3: into the fall and the games really matter. So maybe

943
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 3: that's what we could be excited about.

944
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 2: I think it is what we should be excited about.

945
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: And so looking at where we are understandings, there's a

946
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 2: lot of stakes. So right now, the Phillies hold a

947
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 2: half game lead over the Mets in the NL East.

948
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 2: The Cubs hold a one game lead over the Brewers

949
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: in the NL Central. The Dodgers hold a four and

950
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,680
Speaker 2: a half game lead over the Padres. These races are

951
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 2: really really close, and it will make for very exciting baseball.

952
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: And then over in the American League, the Blue Jays

953
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 2: have a three game lead over the Yankees, the Tigers

954
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 2: are running away with the American League Central, the Astros

955
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 2: of four game lead over the Mariners. So I think

956
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: it does make this second half ish of the season

957
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 2: very exciting to watch. Then so much will ride on

958
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 2: the trade deadline, which is July thirty. First, we are

959
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 2: less than two weeks away. So MLB trade deadline to me,

960
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: maybe even more so than an NFL. MLB trade deadline

961
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 2: is just bananas. To me, it's just absolute madness, I

962
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 2: feel like, and I cover the NFL trade deadlines, don't

963
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 2: want to say that, I don't say it lately, but

964
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: just feels like absolute madness. And all these teams that

965
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 2: I'm talking about, some of them are one or two

966
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 2: players away from really making a run or not really

967
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 2: making a run, and so it's gonna be kind of fun.

968
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: Who I know, you are not quite as die hard,

969
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 2: and that's totally fair because few are. But as you

970
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: look at some of these races or some of these

971
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 2: players that are potentially available. What excites you?

972
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 3: Well, first I need to go rewind a couple seconds

973
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 3: for chat told us, oh please wait chat. We got

974
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 3: to bring him back into the conversation as always. So

975
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 3: the teams have played about ninety five games, okay, and

976
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 3: that means there's about sixty seven on average. Obviously some

977
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 3: teams have played more, so I would say, yeah, you're right,

978
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 3: it is more than halfway, which yeah, okay.

979
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 2: But again I was thursday years old when I learned this.

980
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 3: So how did that even come up in conversation?

981
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: I believe I was talking to someone about show He

982
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 2: probably shohio Tony's numbers. It's a safe bet that's what

983
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: it was, and that where he was halfway through the season,

984
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 2: and they were like last year, and it's he is

985
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: ahead of where he was last year in some places.

986
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 2: But the person I was talking to was like, well,

987
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,240
Speaker 2: it's not really halfway. It's more than halfway through the season.

988
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 2: And that's how it all came up.

989
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 3: When in doubt, I should just know that every conversation

990
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,439
Speaker 3: that you're having relates back to show Heo TONI.

991
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:22,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a safe thing to always remember because

992
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:27,399
Speaker 2: most conversations I'm having Do they relate back to show

993
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: Hao Toni, JJ McCarthy, Jim Harb, Jim Harbaugh and at

994
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 2: times Cody Bellinger, But not as much as it used

995
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 2: to be. But those three, it's pretty safe to say

996
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 2: somewhere they were involved in a conversation.

997
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, players that I might see on the move?

998
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: On the move? You and Genio? Am I saying that right? Suarez? I? No,

999
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 3: it's definitely not right. I don't know Genio Suarez.

1000
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 2: I think it's Eugenia that sounds more right.

1001
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: Sorry, Baseball is number four on my professional teams that

1002
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: I fall. But anyways, he's currently third baseman for the Diamondbacks.

1003
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: Yankees are looking for a big hitter. Could they be

1004
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 3: after him? I've seen some articles that they're officially in

1005
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 3: the mix for him in a big, blockbuster trade. I

1006
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 3: would hate that being someone from Boston, but it would

1007
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,320
Speaker 3: be I don't even have anything positive to say. It

1008
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 3: wouldn't be great to see him go, but you know,

1009
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 3: could be a big one we see coming up.

1010
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 2: You brought up the Red Sox, and so I have

1011
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:30,479
Speaker 2: to mention, what are.

1012
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 3: You gonna say? If it's something negative, just play it.

1013
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: It's not. It's actually not negative or positive. It's just

1014
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 2: I think it's just worth mentioning that Red Sox manager

1015
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 2: Alex Korra was at the Coldplay concert in Boston.

1016
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 3: Johnny talk about that we can.

1017
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: Because I mean I just felt I saw that today

1018
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 2: and I was like, Oh, that's kind of amazing.

1019
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 3: This has taken the world by storm. Yes, if you

1020
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 3: haven't seen this, let me just give you a quick synopsis.

1021
00:46:57,880 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 3: Shout out to Coldplay because I saw someone posts that

1022
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: they haven't had a single in ten years and now

1023
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 3: they have two. Yeah, if you haven't heard, there was

1024
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: a couple allegedly a CEO and somebody else who worked

1025
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 3: at the company I'm not even gonna put the company

1026
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:15,359
Speaker 3: name out there, who were caught having an affair at

1027
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 3: the Coldplay concert. What happened is Coleplay was performing and

1028
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: they were going around like you would see a kiss

1029
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 3: cam at a NFL or whatever NBA game, and they

1030
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 3: show this couple. The guy has his arms like around

1031
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,280
Speaker 3: the woman's neck or shoulders, and they're like swaying, they're smiling,

1032
00:47:31,719 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 3: enjoying Coldplay like one does, and they quickly like move

1033
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: out of the camera.

1034
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 2: Game ducks, which I think made everything so much.

1035
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, like they could have handled this so

1036
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 3: much better. They could have just like stood there. Who

1037
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 3: would have known? No, But it's the fact that they

1038
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 3: reacted and yes, he like ducked, she hit her face.

1039
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 3: They turn around and it's so awkward in coldplay, like

1040
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,120
Speaker 3: they say, either you're not supposed to be here or

1041
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 3: you're having an a fair or something like that. It

1042
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,439
Speaker 3: was so funny it happened at Fenway Park and now

1043
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: all all these people with these viral memes that apparently

1044
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 3: his daughter I don't even know if it's true, made

1045
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 3: a TikTok about it, like so funny. Yeah, it's just

1046
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 3: taken the world by storm. We should have done that

1047
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: for the dos and don'ts don't have an affair at

1048
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 3: cold Play?

1049
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: That I did think about doing that for a do

1050
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,799
Speaker 2: and don't, And then I want to bring a Alex Korra,

1051
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 2: but I think we can bring it in as a

1052
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 2: don't right now, don't have an affair at cold Play?

1053
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 2: And I have to say this, I feel really bad

1054
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 2: for their families. It's but the the viralness of this

1055
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 2: has been unbelievable, I mean truly unbelievable, and maybe Another

1056
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 2: don't is that if you are caught having an affair,

1057
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 2: ducking out of the way and hiding your face makes

1058
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 2: it really clear to everybody.

1059
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 3: Wants don't have an affair.

1060
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 2: Don't have an affair. That's a perfect don't. We'll start there.

1061
00:48:45,640 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 3: Also, I was way wrong on his name. It's a ohinio.

1062
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm so sorry.

1063
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh we're back to it.

1064
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's one thing about me is I'm gonna come

1065
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 3: back and crack myself. I appreciate that don't have an affair,

1066
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 3: Just don't. I mean, it's pretty simple.

1067
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: Either be married or be not married.

1068
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: A dog, as they would.

1069
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 2: Say, I mean, I think that's kind of offensive to dogs,

1070
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: as you know, but as has been established.

1071
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:16,480
Speaker 3: Like anyways, it's just a wild, wild thing that has happened.

1072
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 3: And you know what, like this is a weird point

1073
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 3: of the sports year, calendar year because MLB is on

1074
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 3: a break, we have NFL hasn't fully started. I know,

1075
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: some teams reported this week, and then you have NBA

1076
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 3: is wrapped up w NBA All Star break and on

1077
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 3: Wednesday though everybody was on a break, we need we

1078
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 3: needed something. Oh my god, it like, thank goodness, how

1079
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 3: was I gonna get through another sleepless night. I've been

1080
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 3: searching Reddit, just like wondering what's gonna pop up. Thank

1081
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,720
Speaker 3: god I was able to deep dive into something so juicy.

1082
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was very juicy. And then I think this

1083
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: brings up another thing to think about. What the kiss cam?

1084
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 2: How how do you handle the kiss Camp. I don't

1085
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: have a problem with the kiss Can.

1086
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 3: I saw a report that like he wants to sue

1087
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 3: Cold Play again. This is all alleged. I don't know

1088
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 3: if it's true, but it's like we are in a

1089
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 3: public space. Yeah, if you are sitting courtside, you know

1090
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 3: going in that that you're going to be seen on camera.

1091
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,480
Speaker 3: I think I love the kiss Can.

1092
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 2: I love it too, so I want to know how

1093
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 2: you would react if you and Landa said.

1094
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 3: If I wasn't having an affair, no, no, if you

1095
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 3: were on the kiss camp with your husband, God, if

1096
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 3: I was having an affair, then we are not in Nolan.

1097
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm talking about kiss cam. If you're you're sitting there

1098
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: with your husband at a game, I'll kiss them, Okay.

1099
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go crazy like some of those people, because.

1100
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 2: Some people do some people crazy. Some people are very shy.

1101
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 3: I'll give him a little kiss. I'm not shy, like

1102
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 3: i'll kiss them. But I thought you were asking me

1103
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 3: how I would rock in the affair.

1104
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: No, definitely, definitely not.

1105
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 3: Are you a fan of the kiffs?

1106
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 5: Can?

1107
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 2: I think it's fun. I think it's fun. I think

1108
00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 2: it's funny. I think it's something that adds to games. Games,

1109
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 2: as we know, have become more than games. It's entertainment.

1110
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,320
Speaker 2: And obviously the game is entertainment, but during timeouts, especially

1111
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 2: during baseball, this is a big thing. But there there's

1112
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 2: there's entertainment. I think it's fun. I have I have

1113
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 2: no issue with it, but yet.

1114
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 3: Please, you know what I like more than the kiss cam?

1115
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: What the simbacam? Have you seen? That charges to it

1116
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: all the time. It's when you hold up your baby.

1117
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,760
Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, that's amazing.

1118
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 3: Oh my god, like more of that, less of kiss cam.

1119
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: I do like the whole up, like your baby looks

1120
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 2: so cute.

1121
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 3: But then it's like, maybe we would I'm not even

1122
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 3: gonna say it, that's just like crazy thought cross my mind.

1123
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 3: So we're going to just move on.

1124
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 2: Okay. I don't know what your I can't even think

1125
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 2: of what your thought was, so I think we can.

1126
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 3: Like I was just thinking, where could this go wrong?

1127
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 3: Like a kiss cam went wrong for the Pomelin concert. No,

1128
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 3: I can't.

1129
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 2: So I'll say something else about the Red Sox that

1130
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 2: actually is about baseball. They're been playoff contention now and

1131
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 2: yes they are tracy and a lot of people felt

1132
00:51:56,760 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 2: like Alex Bregman was a potential piece of a trade

1133
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,360
Speaker 2: that could happen, and I said that so weirdly, But

1134
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: Alex Bragman potentially could be traded. That is a much

1135
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 2: better way to say that. But now off the table.

1136
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 3: The thing is, though, like the Red Sox already made

1137
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: their major trade of the season, Like they need to

1138
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 3: just chill and like continue this good, good energy, you know,

1139
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 3: into the second half more than less than second half.

1140
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 2: So a player I find really interesting is Sandy Alkantara.

1141
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 2: He is a seven point two to era. That being said,

1142
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: because a number of other pitchers who people thought might

1143
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: be on the trading block are now on teams that

1144
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: are in contention. He is a hot prospect for teams

1145
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: and I'm just very curious to see how this goes.

1146
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: Because the trade deadline comes, it's like, oh yeah, we

1147
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 2: got all Kantara and his seven point to er. But

1148
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just found that one really interesting.

1149
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: But it just shows you talk about how long a

1150
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 2: baseball season is. Over the course of the season, who

1151
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 2: people thought were potential trade pieces a month ago, well

1152
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,440
Speaker 2: now they're not. The Brewers are killing it, especially every

1153
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 2: time they play the Dodgers. So Freddy Peralta is no

1154
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 2: longer potential trade trade uh trade piece, and which is

1155
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 2: too bad because he's so good and I really wanted

1156
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 2: the Dodgers to get him. But anyways, that is kind

1157
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 2: of where we're at. But that's why we hear now

1158
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: at Sandy L Kantara and at seven point two two

1159
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 2: era being a hot commodity.

1160
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 3: Okay, you are the fan girl and you are a

1161
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 3: huge Dodgers fan. Pitch to me, I'm I'm making the call.

1162
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:34,279
Speaker 3: Pitch to me, who you want them to go after

1163
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 3: and why? Or who you want gone? And why? I

1164
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 3: know somebody.

1165
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 2: I okay, I'm not gonna say anybody I want gone

1166
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 2: why because I don't there's not really anyone. There is

1167
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 2: someone there is, but I just I just I don't. Well,

1168
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: how about I'll say what I'd like and so I

1169
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: think that will help they've been having tremendous trouble with

1170
00:53:58,560 --> 00:54:02,759
Speaker 2: their closer. Hmm, Okay, I'm just gonna say this name

1171
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 2: is Tanner Scott. I'm sure he's a really, really great guy,

1172
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying I want him.

1173
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 3: Probably listening to the show right now, he might be.

1174
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: So I want him to understand I don't want him about.

1175
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 3: You personally, nobody about you performance.

1176
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 2: But also I don't want him gone. I just want

1177
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,840
Speaker 2: a different closer and Tanner Scott to be able to

1178
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 2: come in earlier in the game, because I think he's

1179
00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 2: better in those situations. So I don't want him gone.

1180
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: I just want someone else to come and be the

1181
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: closer instead of him. That's you can say you want

1182
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 2: him gone. I don't want him gone, though I really don't.

1183
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 2: I don't want him gone.

1184
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,720
Speaker 3: You think he has potential maybe.

1185
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 2: I mean, if he did go and they got someone

1186
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 2: that was a better fit, I'm not gonna be upset

1187
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 2: about it. But I can't say I want him gone.

1188
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: But this is where the like Dodger fan of me

1189
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 2: comes in, where it's like hard for me to say

1190
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,320
Speaker 2: that because I also care about people's feelings. Yeah, and

1191
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,240
Speaker 2: Tanner's obviously sorry. Tanner.

1192
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 3: Who would you want them to replace him?

1193
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: There is a Saint Louis reliever whose name is it

1194
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 2: gave me So I'm gonna ask CHATCHBT because I think

1195
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 2: he's a real possibility. So Saint Louis Cardinals.

1196
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 3: I just think people are gonna be such better fans

1197
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 3: with the access of chat.

1198
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 2: Gpt on because then we can say this.

1199
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 3: Like it's like some guy comes into the game, you

1200
00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 3: have no idea who he is. Chat, who's this guy?

1201
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 2: Tell me it's back one hundred percent? It makes it

1202
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 2: so okay, Ryan Helsley, that's who it is. So it

1203
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,919
Speaker 2: Ryan Helsley. It's a rumor that could happen. And it's

1204
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 2: because Tanner Scott has been struggling seven blown saves this season,

1205
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 2: which is not ideal. I don't mind telling you all

1206
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 2: that two of them came in the few games before

1207
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: the All Star break, and the second blown save the

1208
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: Dodgers came back and won. But that's my feeling on

1209
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 2: on Tanner Scott. But with that, you guys, stay right here.

00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 3: Every week pumped up there.

1233
00:56:53,840 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 7: There's been a lot of older stuff that needs to

1234
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:57,600
Speaker 7: be like cycled out of there, Like some of it's

1235
00:56:57,680 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 7: like some harder rock stuff because I have to do

1236
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 7: like multiple shows, like Jonas's show is always going to

1237
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:05,439
Speaker 7: have like a rock list and then like everyone else

1238
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 7: gets like, you know, different things, so we kind of

1239
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 7: go through.

1240
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'll have to figure out how to share that.

1241
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 2: Well that please do because it is fantastic.

1242
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 3: This has got me fired up for the second half

1243
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 3: of our show and fired up for the NFL season

1244
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,919
Speaker 3: that's about to kick off.

1245
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 2: Oh I got to kick off. Well done, Well done, Bridget.

1246
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 2: Is there a storyline? And I though this sounds like

1247
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 2: I'm asking you a rehearse question, I'm really not, but

1248
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 2: I'm just curious. Is there a storyline other than the

1249
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: ones we've discussed?

1250
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because Steelers obviously is.

1251
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 2: Steelers is such a big one. You know, we talked

1252
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 2: to Cowboys Cheeves. Is there a storyline that you are

1253
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 2: very interested that coming up this season?

1254
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 3: Well, I am heading to Baltimore this weekend. That's the

1255
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 3: first camp that I'm attending, and that is a story

1256
00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 3: that is fascinating to me because when we look at

1257
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,000
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, the quarterback for the Ravens, he has won

1258
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 3: the MVP twice since he was drafted there in twenty eighteen.

1259
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,920
Speaker 3: The Ravens have not had success in the postseason. They

1260
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 3: have not reached the Super Bowl since twenty thirteen. It's

1261
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:05,919
Speaker 3: kind of crazy to think about when you think about

1262
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 3: the top five quarterbacks. To me, Lamar Jackson is right

1263
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 3: up there with Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, but then

1264
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: and Joe Burrow. Then to think about that he hasn't

1265
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 3: been to the Super Bowl is kind of interesting, right,

1266
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: And so I feel like the Ravens consistently on paper

1267
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 3: look good, and their owner does a great job of

1268
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 3: spending money in the right places. He's one of the

1269
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 3: best in the business. But the fact that they signed

1270
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry last year and still fell short and even

1271
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 3: shorter than they did the year before, to me, it's

1272
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 3: kind of like now or never, right, Like what happens

1273
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 3: if they don't get there? What happens to Harba, what

1274
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,920
Speaker 3: happens to Lamar Jackson? I mean, he's their franchise quarterback.

1275
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 3: But with him and Derrick Henry in year two, I

1276
00:58:48,200 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: think it's given the offense even more ability to come

1277
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 3: up with these plays to trick defenses. Right, Like, just

1278
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 3: in anything, when you do it your second year, you're

1279
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 3: just that much more better, You're that much more comfort

1280
00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 3: you know, the playbook that much better. So I'm hoping

1281
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 3: to see a big growth from year one to year

1282
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 3: two with the duo of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry.

1283
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 3: But it's kind of like now or never.

1284
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but I think it is now

1285
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 2: and ever because otherwise they're going to have to make

1286
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 2: a change somewhere because you can't just keep doing this year.

1287
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 3: And they've beefed up their offensive line and so they

1288
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 3: got some people in the draft and hopefully that can

1289
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 3: help too, give Lamar, you know, just that much more help.

1290
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 2: I agree, but I do agree it is now and ever.

1291
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to watch the AFC, nor generally,

1292
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 2: as we've been discussing, is going to be a division

1293
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,600
Speaker 2: to watch AFC North, AFC West over in the NFC West.

1294
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: Just when you thought the forty nine ers were going

1295
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 2: to go into a off season no wide receiver drama,

1296
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 2: no Oakentramia more, they are having a little wide receiver drama.

1297
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 2: First of all, you had Juwan Jennings this week requesting

1298
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 2: a trade or a new deal. So curious to see

1299
00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 2: how that plays out. Because he was a wide receiver

1300
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 2: one last year. He is factors hugely into this year's offense,

1301
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 2: but it's not as easy as it sounds because of

1302
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 2: how dollars are allocated elsewhere on the team at the position.

1303
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: But you have Brandon i a. Yuka is on pupp

1304
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 2: and he's and we already know he won't be ready

1305
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: to start the season. Ricky Pearsall is on the pup

1306
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: list now, he could be activated anytime, so you know,

1307
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 2: that's something to keep an eye on. And then we

1308
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 2: have DeMarcus Robinson who has a pending suspension due to

1309
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 2: a dui. They really need Juan Jennings to be on

1310
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,919
Speaker 2: the field for them, so they're gonna have to figure

1311
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 2: it out somewhere. But it's something to keep an eye on.

1312
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Because the foreg Airs finally also had an off season

1313
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 2: with no contract drama. They got brock Party done, they

1314
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 2: got Fred Warner dune, they got George Kittle done. Look

1315
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 2: like it was gonna be smooth sailing, but no Ite

1316
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:46,920
Speaker 2: is not. So that is something to keep an eye

1317
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: on because otherwise I don't really know ho brock Pertty's

1318
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 2: throwing too.

1319
01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting to see what Ricky Pearsoll kind

1320
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 3: of does this season whenever he's ready, because he was

1321
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 3: an emerging star for them, and he's just kind of

1322
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,479
Speaker 3: been through a lot to start his NFL career.

1323
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: He has been through so much. And I think something

1324
01:01:05,400 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 2: that sometimes people forget is he was injured. But before

1325
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 2: he got shot, he'd been injured and missed. He had

1326
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:14,120
Speaker 2: missed training camp and and much of the off season

1327
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 2: program before that then.

1328
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: But he's the guy. They were really excited.

1329
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 2: They are they are, but he's now injured again. So

1330
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 2: and he missed mini camp and he missed most of

1331
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 2: OTA's So we're gonna have to see what happens. I mean,

1332
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 2: if someone Jacob Cowing, they're very excited about this coming

1333
01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 2: into the season. They think he's made tremendous strides, But.

1334
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,479
Speaker 3: How much are they going to miss Debo?

1335
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 2: Well that's I think that's a longer conversation. And first

1336
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 2: I have to go to the man. I missed so

1337
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 2: much last week, Martin wise to give us the sports,

1338
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: so we.

1339
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Can't him a lot of compliments. I think she missed

1340
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 3: Deebo more.

1341
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 5: You know, I'll be honest.

1342
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 6: Sean Serania reporting the Washington Wizards about the miss markus

1343
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 6: smart but not by much because they're buying him out.

1344
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 6: So he'll be a now planning to sign a two year,

1345
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 6: eleven million dollars deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. This

1346
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 6: news comes after Smart was traded to the Wizards and

1347
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 6: a multi team deal earlier last year. Twenty twenty two

1348
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 6: Defensive Player of the Year Marcus Smart, who last you know,

1349
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 6: was really bout around the NBA with Boston a couple

1350
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 6: of years ago. Scotti Scheffler with a recorded a sixty

1351
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 6: seven bogie free, taking commanding lead into the final day

01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 6: of the twenty twenty five Open Championship. He's fourteen hundred

1353
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 6: right now. If Scheffler won Sunday at Royal Port Rush,

1354
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 6: it'll be his fourth major title and second this year.

1355
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 6: Also placed him three fourthsted away to the career Grand Slam.

1356
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 6: That's on Lea's four shots back, matter Patrick's five shots back.

1357
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 6: Roy McElroy you know playing you know a couple not

1358
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 6: too far from where he grew up. He's eight hundred

1363
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,880

01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Thank you very much, Martin. We

1376
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 2: could be talking about the NFL for a very long

1377
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 2: time here, So Bridget you asked me how much are

1378
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 2: they going to the four? And is going to miss

1379
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 2: miss Deebo Samuel And it'll be interesting. I mean, Debo

1380
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 2: did not have a great season last year. The writing

1381
01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 2: was on the wall. He late in the season went

1382
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 2: to social media. As for the ball more and the

1383
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:06,960
Speaker 2: next game he was, you.

1384
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,120
Speaker 3: Know things are bad when they take to social media.

1385
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 2: Yes, it's that's always I feel like the beginning of

1386
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 2: the last straw. But he asked he get the ball

1387
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 2: more and the ball was then thrown to him and

1388
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:22,920
Speaker 2: he dropped it. So how much the misstivo is going

1389
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 2: to be interesting.

1390
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 3: It's going to be interesting how he fits in with

1391
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 3: Jaden Daniels. To me, I think he's going to fit

1392
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 3: in well in DC. Terry McLaurin obviously is their number

1393
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 3: one and waiting for waiting to get paid here. But

1394
01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 3: I think Debo will fit in well because they don't

1395
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 3: like here's the thing with the forty nine ers, like

1396
01:04:37,600 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 3: they have a lot of weapons on offense that are

1397
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 3: kind of like star names.

1398
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 4: M hm.

1399
01:04:44,240 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: It feels like I don't know, maybe maybe his time

1400
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 3: was kind of expiring.

1401
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 2: It definitely was. It was time for everybody to move on.

1402
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 2: So I do think he will do well in Washington.

1403
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 2: But now we are going to change gears and go

1404
01:04:57,160 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 2: back to the wa NBA All Star Game. Alexa Ross

1405
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 2: for reporter and anchor for CBS for an Indie and

1406
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 2: Fox fifty nine News is here to tell us all

1407
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:08,919
Speaker 2: the Tea from Indianapolis, Alexa, welcome to show.

1408
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 4: Hey, thank you so much for having me. Excited to be.

1409
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 2: Here, absolutely so I'd love to start bight here. What

1410
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 2: is the vibe check right now in Indianapolis? The excitement

1411
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 2: level of all the festivities, so.

1412
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,800
Speaker 4: To speak, vibe or high? I mean even the rain

1413
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 4: couldn't really dull the excitement of today, because yes, I

1414
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 4: mean yesterday was sunning, Thursday was fun. As events started.

1415
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 4: The torrential downfource really did not deter a crowd or anybody.

1416
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 4: They had to shut down some of the activations that

1417
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 4: were outdoors. But what kinds about that? You know, people,

1418
01:05:38,800 --> 01:05:41,840
Speaker 4: there are so many people in town representing every team

1419
01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 4: in the w obviously many many fager fans. You see

1420
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 4: a lot of twenty two, you see a lot of seven,

1421
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 4: You see a lot of zero for the three All

1422
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 4: Stars locally, but you see every team represented. You see

1423
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 4: so many people who have come into town. I've heard

1424
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 4: so many accents just walking around, and I think something

1425
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 4: that's so special about this city in particular is this

1426
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 4: is the host city. It's very walkable. You've been here

1427
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 4: for the NFL combine things like that. It is a

1428
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 4: place that is equipped to hold people. Yes, and the

1429
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 4: excitement and activation and fun and all of the things

1430
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 4: that are here. It is so centered on women women

1431
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 4: sports more so than basketball, but it's really bringing in

1432
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 4: female fans and just kind of highlighting the joys of

1433
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 4: girlhood here.

1434
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 3: One of my favorite parts about Combine and Indie is

1435
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 3: the indoor tunnels. When it's freezing, you got there like

1436
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 3: our indoor walkways. So who cares about the rain exactly?

1437
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 3: Speaking of rain, hopefully that doesn't impact anybody's fit game

1438
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 3: tonight for the fashion show. Let's call it that. We

1439
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 3: saw that the other night. Angel Reese's outfit, like was incredible.

1440
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 3: Who was your favorite player that dressed up? And like,

1441
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 3: what is the fashion of the WNBA? What is that

1442
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 3: like when these players come in? Like is the media

1443
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,439
Speaker 3: in awe as much as we are on social media?

1444
01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 4: It is so funny you say that because I am

1445
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 4: currently standing in the media holding area looking directly at

1446
01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 4: the orange carpet where everyone is walking in.

1447
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 3: Anyone, anyone would not at this moment.

1448
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm waiting, but cameras are ready. I mean, the carpet

1449
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 4: is packed. I will say I think my favorite outfit

1450
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 4: of the weekend was Asia's burgundy orange carpet looked from

1451
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 4: Thursday night. I thought that was stunning. I mean, when

1452
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 4: you look like that, you can wear whatever you want. Obviously,

1453
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 4: if I was a foot and a half dollar and

1454
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 4: you know, I certainly would be doing the same thing.

1455
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 4: But she looks she looked fabulous. I love how everybody

1456
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 4: brings their personal style in such a beautiful way because

1457
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 4: all of these women are so very different. You know,

1458
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 4: you have some of our more mask women who are

1459
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 4: wearing just like these incredible suits, tailored pieces, things like that.

1460
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 4: You have someone like Asia who is so high glam.

1461
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 4: Let me wear my you know, my dress was like

1462
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 4: this gorgeous high split and things like that. And I'm

1463
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 4: currently trying to say if anybody's walking in so far

1464
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:04,840
Speaker 4: not yet, but I do love to. I am trying

1465
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 4: to keep you guys up to date. If I see

1466
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 4: so I can report live as people walk in.

1467
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 2: Oh, we would absolutely love that. Thank you, Thank you

1468
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 2: for that. Obviously. Four you're in Indianapolis, Caitlin Clark, huge

1469
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 2: star in Indianapolis and beyond not playing, So with that

1470
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 2: in mind, who are you kind of excited to see

1471
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 2: that you haven't seen play yet?

1472
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 4: Live that's a great question, I think in terms of

1473
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 4: everybody who is going to be represented on the floor.

1474
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 4: I'm really interested to kind of see the replacements who

1475
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 4: have come in for both Team Callier and Team Clark.

1476
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 4: I'm also very interested to see how Aliah, Boston and

1477
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:45,080
Speaker 4: Asia playoffs of each other for four Team Clark because

1478
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 4: obviously both Biggs Rough South Carolina too have don finest.

1479
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 4: They have left their their fingerprints all over that program

1480
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:56,760
Speaker 4: and all over everything that's you know, everywhere there, and

1481
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 4: of course this league you have two of the best

1482
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,599
Speaker 4: centers in this in this league doing that. So I'm

1483
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 4: excited to see what a front board with the two

1484
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 4: of them looks like because I remember Oliah saying that

1485
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 4: her two welcome to the w moments when she was

1486
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 4: a rookie was getting a major block by Asia and

1487
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 4: then another one by Britney Griner.

1488
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of players come out and speak

1489
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 3: lately about the officiating and lack thereof officiating in the

1490
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 3: WNBA and how it's impacting players and so many players

1491
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 3: are getting hurt because of it. What's the conversation around

1492
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 3: that been like in Indianapolis and how much do you

1493
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 3: think that's impacting the fact that Caitlin Clark isn't out there.

1494
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's really hard when you have

1495
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 4: a player like Caitlin who has been very on the

1496
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 4: record about I don't want to play with minutes restrictions.

1497
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 4: If I'm playing, I want to play, et cetera, et cetera,

1498
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:48,879
Speaker 4: et cetera. When you have somebody with such a fiery

1499
01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 4: competitive spirit like that, it's hard to keep someone like

1500
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 4: that sitting and out and even though knowing you're the

1501
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 4: face of this city's team and also the face of

1502
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 4: a team in the All Star Game, there's you know,

1503
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,799
Speaker 4: I feel like it's a very unfortunate situation for her. However,

1504
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 4: who better to that Sadie Brundello can have next to

1505
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 4: her just sharing people on and firing people up, because

1506
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 4: she is one of the loudest people I've ever seen

1507
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 4: on a bench. She is one of the most fire

1508
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 4: up people I've ever seen on a bench. She's missed,

1509
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,200
Speaker 4: she missed ten games, so I think she'll she's kind

1510
01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 4: of been in her element learning how to kind of

1511
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,880
Speaker 4: pump people up from the sidelines. But I do think

1512
01:10:28,920 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 4: that the officiating has been problems all across the board.

1513
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 4: In terms of how people what is being called, what

1514
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 4: is not being called, and how we look at some

1515
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 4: of these harder fouls that women are taking. Because people

1516
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 4: are getting really seriously hurt, and people are getting really

1517
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,560
Speaker 4: seriously hurt, the outcome of games are being determined, and

1518
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 4: I think that something's got to change if they want

1519
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 4: to keep it going. However, tonight, that shouldn't be an issue.

1520
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,960
Speaker 4: No free throws, things like that. So there's going to

1521
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 4: be among the rule changes for this All Star Game.

1522
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 4: So there should be things that mitigate the possibilities of jury.

1523
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 2: You mentioned rule changes. We were talking earlier. The four

1524
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 2: point basket. Crazy, Yeah, I mean, if you seen any

1525
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 2: of it in practice? Is everybody talking about it? What

1526
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 2: do you think about it?

1527
01:11:18,560 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 4: It's crazy? You know, they are pushed so far back.

1528
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 4: They're so close to the logo. We see logo threes

1529
01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 4: all the time. That's not you know, that's a We're

1530
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:29,560
Speaker 4: all very customed to seeing them in this league. We

1531
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 4: got some shooters out here. But to see the way

1532
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 4: that that looks right now and to see them so

1533
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 4: close to the logo, I'd love to see that in

1534
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 4: regulation play, But I guess we're just gonna have to

1535
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 4: deal with it tonight. See how many four pointers we

1536
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:43,080
Speaker 4: rack up?

1537
01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:44,960
Speaker 5: And I want to see here, you're.

1538
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 4: Betting odds on who's gonna it's the most, Probably Sabrina.

1539
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 4: After winning another free point challenge, I.

1540
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:53,920
Speaker 3: Would say, Sabrina, what is the We talked about this

1541
01:11:54,080 --> 01:11:56,080
Speaker 3: a little bit when we first got you on a

1542
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 3: couple of minutes ago, the reaction, the fan atmosphere. But

1543
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 3: what momentum does having this All Star game bring for

1544
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 3: the second half of the season.

1545
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 4: Oh, it's tremendous. I think that anytime you can get

1546
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 4: all of these women together in a space where not

1547
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 4: only are they able to be comfortable, but to be

1548
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,200
Speaker 4: able to have fun and reconnect with the love and

1549
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:19,839
Speaker 4: joy of the game, I think that's going to propel

1550
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 4: us even further. Regardless of who's hurt, who's sitting, whatever,

1551
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 4: there are so many opportunities for people to realize, Hey,

1552
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 4: we have a lot of basketball left to play, and

1553
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,920
Speaker 4: this league is better for the competitive fires that we

1554
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 4: all share.

1555
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,680
Speaker 2: I have an in game fashion question I believe, and

1556
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 2: Angel Rees I believe is premiering her one me bounds

1557
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 2: rebox pink shoes. So if they speak to me immediately

1558
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 2: and they look amazing. Is anybody else pre premiering is

1559
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 2: not the right word, but premiering anything new as part

1560
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 2: of their uniform tonight that you know of, Not that I've.

1561
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 4: Heard, but I am going to keep an eye out.

1562
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 4: I will be fit checking like if nobody's business, both

1563
01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 4: on the carpet and also on the floor because one

1564
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 4: of my favorite things about basketball is the shoe game.

1565
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 4: I think that everyone all these women getting their very

1566
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,160
Speaker 4: well deserved signature shoes to be able to see them

1567
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 4: come out. I'm so excited to see those pink shoes.

1568
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:15,120
Speaker 4: I call a picture of them, I think two and

1569
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 4: a half three hours ago and I was just in

1570
01:13:17,439 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 4: all I thought they were stunning, So I'm so excited

1571
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 4: to see what they look like in action. Things like

1572
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 4: that I saw keep the Nike activation was selling a

1573
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:30,040
Speaker 4: ones today. Just everybody is so ready to get there,

1574
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:32,800
Speaker 4: to be able for all these women to get the

1575
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 4: deals that they so greatly deserve and have them be

1576
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,720
Speaker 4: showcased like this, and what should be one of our

1577
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:43,559
Speaker 4: highest watched All Star games is really special and really

1578
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:45,719
Speaker 4: exciting for all of them and great for the sport.

1579
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,600
Speaker 3: Real quick, quick, one more question for you, just what

1580
01:13:49,120 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 3: has the evolvement of the fans in Indianapolis been like,

1581
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 3: especially like with the All Star Game now in India.

1582
01:13:55,880 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 3: I know you've been covering the WNBA for a while now, you.

1583
01:14:01,400 --> 01:14:04,799
Speaker 4: Know what, this is my fourth season of WNBA coverage.

1584
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 4: I've covered the Fever for a long time. I've covered

1585
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 4: them through really bad losing stretches. I've covered them through

1586
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 4: net making the playoffs for the first time and quite

1587
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 4: some time. I've seen two back to back number one

1588
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 4: overall picks with a Leah Boston and Caitlin Clark, and

1589
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,840
Speaker 4: it's just been such a joy to see not just

1590
01:14:21,920 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 4: how women have reacted to the team and responded to

1591
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 4: the team, but how everyone's embraced it. You can't go

1592
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:32,000
Speaker 4: and see children walking around without seeing little boys in

1593
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 4: number two jerseys, for people wearing a Leah Boston's old

1594
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 4: rebel jersey and things like that, And to me, I

1595
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,800
Speaker 4: think that's the most special thing because you can all

1596
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 4: of these kids, regardless of their gender, regardless of what

1597
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 4: they look like where they come from, are comfortable enough

1598
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 4: to say, hey, you know what, I see what greatness

1599
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 4: is and I can be.

1600
01:14:51,360 --> 01:14:56,160

Speaker 2: so I will let you start feel good stories.

1619
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:47,639
Speaker 4: Of the week.

1620
01:15:47,720 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 3: All right, Colson Loveland, have you heard this one? Don't

1621
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 3: tell me it's yours.

1622
01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 2: No, but it's just that you caught up one of

1623
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 2: my favorite people ever.

1624
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 3: Oh did you hear what he did? Because if you're

1625
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,120
Speaker 3: not a fan, turn your radio up because you're about

1626
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,240
Speaker 3: to be a fan. I did, but tell everybody, Okay,

1627
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 3: the Chicago Bears rookie tight End Steals Her went to

1628
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:08,479
Speaker 3: Michigan Steals Hearts in his charity event. This is what happened.

1629
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,919
Speaker 3: It was incredible. He volunteered at a fundraising event in Chicago,

1630
01:16:13,040 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 3: and he teamed up with children from a local hospital.

1631
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 3: And so here was the thing. For every they were

1632
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,720
Speaker 3: throwing passes to him, and for every pass he caught,

1633
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 3: a donation of two hundred and fifty dollars would be

1634
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 3: made to a local children's charity. Well, in an incredible

1635
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 3: turn of events, he caught every single pass thrown by

1636
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 3: the kids, no matter what, and it was just awesome.

1637
01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:37,600
Speaker 3: I mean, give me a reason to root for you.

1638
01:16:38,080 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 3: There it is, and now I'm a Chicago Bears fan

1639
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 3: because it just shows how much pro athletes can literally

1640
01:16:44,400 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 3: change these kids' lives and like uplift them just by

1641
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 3: being a genuine person. And he gave these kids that

1642
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 3: are dealing with so much more than we could even

1643
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 3: imagine in a local hospital something to smile about and

1644
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:02,560
Speaker 3: raised a ton of money, thousands of dollars for pediatric

1645
01:17:02,680 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 3: care and community support. It's just like, this is why,

1646
01:17:06,720 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 3: this is why we cover sports, right to see the

1647
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 3: connection from a professional athlete or any athlete in general

1648
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:14,640
Speaker 3: and the public like that.

1649
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:17,560
Speaker 2: That is just what you root for, Tracy, It absolutely is.

1650
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:20,160
Speaker 2: And Ed Colson Lovelin is all by the side. Colson

1651
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 2: Lovelin is a really fantastic person and it's not surprising

1652
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,680
Speaker 2: because this is who he is and who he was

1653
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 2: throughout his college career. And I think the Bears are

1654
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 2: just going to see more and more of it. So

1655
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 2: that's just fabulous. That's just the best feel good story

1656
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 2: of the week.

1657
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 3: You're just gotta be good too, right.

1658
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 2: Yes, for sure, it just doesn't involve a former Michigan player,

1659
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 2: but it's still a fun field good story of the week.

1660
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 3: Does it involve show Hey?

1661
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 2: It does not involve Show Hey, which again is very shocking.

1662
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: But it does involve Brent Rooker who was feeding his

1663
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 2: eleven month old child her nighttime bottle at nine pm

1664
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,320
Speaker 2: around the All Star Game and it was so cute

1665
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 2: and he said, yes, it was necessary to feel my

1666
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,439
Speaker 2: eleven month old child or nighttime bottle at like nine pm.

1667
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,560
Speaker 3: Thank you for asking, Because somebody commented and said it

1668
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 3: was it really necessary for you for sure to be

1669
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 3: feeding his child?

1670
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:13,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, somebody definitely did that person isn't a parent, No,

1671
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 2: definitely or also isn't, like come on, like, how could you.

1672
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,400
Speaker 3: You're you're gonna make fun of this man feeding his child?

1673
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 3: Come on, get out of your parents' basement. Figure something

1674
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 3: else to care about.

1675
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 2: And it's the All star game, Like that's the fun

1676
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 2: of the auto.

1677
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 3: Even if it wasn't like showing men that they can

1678
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 3: be a part of parenthood.

1679
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 2: Absolutely he is. But you know, someone had to have

1680
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:36,920
Speaker 2: a sea.

1681
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 5: You know.

1682
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 2: I remember years ago when Riley Curly Curry did the

1683
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 2: press confers and Steph creat it was the cutest thing

1684
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 2: and people got upset, and this is a business, and

1685
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 2: you know what, let people be human. He's being a dad.

1686
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 2: Let him be a dad. His little girl is in

1687
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,240
