Speaker 3: where like I lift out of everything.

28
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:22,920

00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: you would leave the group first years ago. Wait what uh?

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:34,319

Speaker 1: I was hearing. My scooting time is off a little bit,

48
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's a little bit off of.

Speaker 3: big nw NB a night tonight.

52
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: Uh sure, But you didn't think today was gonna be

53
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: a watershed day in sports, But it is because of

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: two big stories, one breaking over the course of the

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: night tonight, one from earlier. Today. We could look, we

56
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 1: could wind up looking back at today saying, hey, what

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: was the day where the new media and the new

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: way we consume cover sports? When was that embraced as

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: a general acceptance? Right? When did the new media go

60
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: from well, I'm fighting with the old media, and I

61
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: mean new media where you have look, the players are

62
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: doing their own thing. Now you have lots of podcasters

63
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: and and and different sorts of content produced by non

64
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: traditional media outlets Fox, ESPN, everything else. It's been a

65
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: big battle the last few years new media, old media.

66
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: What was the day the new media finally broke through

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: into the mainstream. We're gonna look back at today, Okay,

68
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: Number one. The story earlier today right Fox Sports One

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: is making big changing into all their programming morning programming.

70
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: They're reportedly replacing the shows that they canceled with some

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: sort of agreement with Barstool Sports, and Dave Portnoy would

72
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: be involved, potentially would be on the college football shows

73
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: and some other some of their existing shows that that

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: have big audiences would be would be put on FS one. Now,

75
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: the big nude kickoff, that's our idea. So that's the

76
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: whole thing. When you say big nude kickoff, that's our idea.

77
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: You got to you gotta pass money if you want

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: to say big nude kickoff. That's our thing, big dude kickoff.

79
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 3: So that's a that's a big watershed day because this

80
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: is here's new media of barstool where suddenly, hey, it

81
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 3: didn't work a few years ago with ESPN simply because

82
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: the timing wasn't right right. The way Barstool does sports

83
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: is not the way that we are accustomed to it.

84
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: It's a younger audience, clearly, and is it quite the

85
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: protect the shield element that traditional sports outlets want and desire.

86
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,239
Speaker 1: Probably not. I didn't when that happened. I'm like, there's

87
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: no way, the barstool Sports of an ESPN is gonn.

88
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: Last they're gonna say, what are we putting on? This

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: is this is not our programming, right, this is not

90
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: what Disney ESPN does. So of course it lasted what

91
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: like a day or a week before they said, okay,

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: we have to get rid of this. We can have

93
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: this programming on. But now years have gone by and

94
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: the barstool way of covering sports it has become more popular.

95
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: It's become more accepted as a way that people consume sports.

96
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: So now suddenly revisiting, hey, making barstool part of your brand? Okay, right,

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: people have seen it now, they understand what the content is.

98
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: It's not as much of a wildcard as it was

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: a few years ago. So traditional media outlets like here's Fox,

100
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: traditional media outlet that could potentially be putting being in

101
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: partnership basically with barstool Sports, which has also.

102
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: Had an edge forever though, right, I mean that was

103
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 3: the branding initially married with children and the Simpsons and

104
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: whatever else that it was always a little bit, you know,

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: off the normal pathway. So this is all these years later,

106
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 3: just a different extension. But O was to you know,

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: some of the changes that have gone on in media.

108
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: What is that five years ago?

109
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, four five years I think it was right

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: before around COVID. Yeah, right before the pandemic. I got

111
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: things when it happened. And so this is a big day, right,

112
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Well, barstool Sports and Fox like that.

113
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: That's this the whole thing, right, this is Fox if

114
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: they you know, this thing goes through changing the way

115
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: they present sports, changing the audience. Like clearly they're doing that. Okay,

116
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: they see what ESPN is doing with Pat McAfee, and

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: they're saying, all right, we're going after the younger demographic.

118
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: The younger demographic is more forgiving of a lot of things.

119
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: They want content that's more edgy, they want they want

120
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: something that's different from what they have seen, which for

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: the past few years has been here a bunch of

122
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: athletes arguing with each other and who has the bigger

123
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: hot take? And I love a hot take more than

124
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: anybody else. But you can't just continually throw hot takes

125
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: because they lose their they lose their gravitas. So this

126
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: has been the way things have gone the last years.

127
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: And now this could be Fox saying, hey, and I

128
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: understand it, and I think it's a it's a smart

129
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: thing to say, we went this angle. We see the

130
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: growth in a different area, and the growth is younger audience,

131
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: more edgy content, however you want to describe it. So

132
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: this is a big name. Now here's Barstool getting in

133
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: potentially getting in with Fox. And now you have ESPN.

134
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: And what we saw on the SP's earlier tonight from

135
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: host Shane Gillis, who yes, has ESPN kind of towed

136
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: the line in previous years with some jokes that you go, ooh,

137
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: that's not quite a Disney ESPN type joke on the SPE's.

138
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: But okay, comedians want to go on and do their thing,

139
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: and they have and they have their their style, and

140
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: ESPN doesn't want to jump on there on their backs

141
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: too much and say, okay, don't do this, don't do this,

142
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: don't do this. But clearly ESPN is a brand. Disney

143
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: is a brand they want to protect, right, Disney is

144
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Little Mermaid and Cars and Incanto and all of these

145
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: different movies. This is the brand they want to Now,

146
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: maybe ESPN gets spun off, if Disney winds up selling ESPN,

147
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: that could happen, But this is the Disney This is

148
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: the ESPN brand that has been around for the last

149
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: thirty some odd years since Sports Center broke through in

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: the late eighties early nineties. And now tonight you have

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: Shane Gillis and the jokes that he did on the

152
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: s pi's doing Jeffrey Epstein jokes, doing jokes with racial

153
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: tinges to it, involving Caitlin Clark. He's doing he did

154
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: the Jay Simpson joke again, the old nor McDonald line,

155
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, with with Travis Hunter, some of the stuff

156
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: he did. I'm saying, oh my good, this is not

157
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: ESPN's brand. This is not This is stuff that if

158
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Ricky Gervais or they wanted to do this on the oscars,

159
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: they would say, hey, you know what to risque for

160
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: us man not doing it, not doing it. We can't,

161
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: we can't do these jokes. And I mean I have

162
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: not seen I am blown away that this is the

163
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: content that ESPN had, not by the content itself. Seeing

164
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: Shane Gillis do is then you know how he's liking.

165
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: You've seen jokes like this all over the internet. Nothing

166
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: here is so unbelievably new, But the fact that ESPN

167
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: is embracing this and this is part of their turn

168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: away from where they were to Hey, we're hiring Pat

169
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: McAfee to come on now, and the network is all

170
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee and steven A. Smith. We have gone away

171
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: from our coverage of sports being what is going to

172
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: separate us the worldwide leader too. Here's a guy that

173
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: just throws out hot takes in his board with what

174
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: he does, but still we're gonna give him one hundred

175
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: million dollars. Here's Pat McAfee, who are going to put

176
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: on every single show because he's gonna get us to

177
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: a new audience. And Pat McFee show's got cursing on it.

178
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: It's got edgy content, and he fights on social media,

179
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: and he fights with people who are are executives at ESPN.

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: The guys losing their jobs after you fight with Pat

181
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: McAfee on it. This is like ESPN. This is like

182
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: them being anakin. It's like them going suddenly, hey, we're

183
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: going completely to the dark side with where we were.

184
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: And so you have that that tide that's been coming

185
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: in to shore little by little with McAfee and steven

186
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: A and the content, and now here you have it.

187
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: It's hitting the shore tonight. With the content that Shane

188
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: Gillis put out there for ESPN. I mean, I'm blown

189
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: away that these kind of jokes you can find him

190
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: out there, you know, you can find out that these

191
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: are the jokes and this is the content that ESPN.

192
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: Put on the spis. I don't know if there's gonna

193
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 3: be any blowback. I don't know what it's gonna be,

194
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: but the fact that this got out there and it

195
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 3: continued to get out there, this it really just blew

196
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: me away that this was kind of the content that

197
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: we saw tonight from a Disney company.

198
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: SGA is here, give it up for.

199
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 2: SCA Hell yeah, bro, And now everybody's sitting around him

200
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: is in foul trouble.

201
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 1: All right, that's every time's nice. That's a great clean

202
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: and tame and whatever. That's what I was comfortable playing

203
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: on the show. Some of the other stuff is like ooh,

204
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I mean, he's doing Jeffrey Epstein jokes.

205
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 1: He's doing racial jokes with Kton Clark. It's like, oh

206
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: my god, Like, this is not ESPN. This is not

207
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: the ESPN I grew up, And it's not the ESPN

208
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: I worked for. It's not the ESPN. The Trey Wingo

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: probably worked for before you got let go a couple

210
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: of years.

211
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: But that's the thing, right, We've seen the shift and climate,

212
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: and we talk about it a little bit and now

213
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 3: and again on the show and certainly in our off

214
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: air conversations about you know, where we're at in terms

215
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: of content and the lines that have been redrawn. Twenty nineteen,

216
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Shane Gillis was fired from Saturday Night Live for you know,

217
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: comments and what was deemed in a appropriate you know,

218
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 3: the old canceling line being used. And then this last

219
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 3: year he was back to host it right. Five years,

220
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: a lot of things changed, a lot of what was

221
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 3: truly under scrutiny. Time and again, comedians are back doing

222
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: their thing right and be getting all of their their

223
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: hour long specials on Twitter and their voices. It's not

224
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: just in the club, it's back and social media. And

225
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 3: that's what McAfee's show has done a good job. And

226
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 3: that's what Barstool, their whole brand was about, you know,

227
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: not just going to their website, No, they were dominating

228
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 3: in social media off little clips much like your late

229
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 3: night talk show are now right, they do the clips

230
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 3: before the thing even airs. Here's the three things you're

231
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: gonna know and want to see, So let's give it

232
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 3: to you long before it's actually airing, and it's a

233
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: normal spot. So the evolution of this and now you've

234
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 3: got proof of concept with the McAfee show, of the

235
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,080
Speaker 3: audience built, the revenue that flows in. Look at the

236
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 3: contract that he was able to sign, the power that

237
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: he wields, part of the WWE universe as well, So

238
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 3: you've got that, you know, partnership through him that rolls

239
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 3: through so for portantly in barstool with Fox. If this

240
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 3: does come to fruition, it's a natural extension. You go

241
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: head to head in that same space, and a lot

242
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: of the loyalists there will be gravitating to the airwaves

243
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 3: at FS one and all of the social media channels

244
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 3: that flow from there. Right, I'm sure there'll be some

245
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 3: negotiated exclusives for the FS one platform versus THEIRS that

246
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 3: you know is available later on, you know, kind of

247
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: like they do now. But if I go to Disney

248
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 3: Plus right now, I can watch all sorts of horror

249
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: movies are fed to me at the same time. Hey,

250
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 3: would you like to see the latest iteration of cars right?

251
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: Or the Bear or whatever?

252
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: Else, right, because you've got a whole suite of networks

253
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: that are under there. Right, you got your Disney, Pixar, Marvel,

254
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: Star Wars, then you get National g A Graphic, then

255
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 3: you get Hulu and ESPN all in that process. And

256
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: it's not a commercial. It's just saying you've got a

257
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: breadth of content, which is not necessarily the content you

258
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 3: want your six year old finding and being fed if

259
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: they go into a non locked.

260
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Part of the account.

261
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: So it's already there, they're already doing it and realizing

262
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: that it's it's good for business, and as more and

263
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: more stuff gravitates from traditional cable through the streaming services,

264
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 3: et cetera, that you're gonna see more of it.

265
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look this that's why it's such a big day

266
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: because look, the Anakin move by ESPN has been coming slowly.

267
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: Lose the Padawan. Here's a h ESPN two is the Padawan?

278
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, okay, okay, that didn't win the super

280
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: won the super Bowl for the first time. And then

281
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: there's return to glory if you won the super Bowl

282
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: for a repeat time in your franchise career. So taking flight,

283
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,360

428
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: today in the NBA, I gotta say, I'm a little

429
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: shocked by the reaction to the Bradley Beal move to Clippers. Okay, Bradley,

430
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal, I know, right, not to be confused with

431
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: our buddy Larry Bee Larry be So, Bradley Beal gets

432
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: bought out by the Suns, which we knew was coming,

433
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,479
Speaker 1: and immediately agreed right away to join the Clippers. Okay,

434
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: all right, happens right away? Want to go join the Clippers?

435
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: All right? Bradley Beil's a nice player. You know, it's

436
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: seventeen a game guy, three time All Star. But the

437
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: number of this is up. This is an NBA championship

438
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: caliber move that I've seen over the course of the day.

439
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: It's just insane.

440
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if you're putting it on a very

441
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: long list of building blocks, and you know, there's the

442
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: great South Park episode where you have the underpants gnomes

443
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 3: and they talk about their pyramid of success sure, number one,

444
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: steal underpants, number two, question.

445
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: Mark number three. Profit. That's kind of what we're at here.

446
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: There's a giant question mark box as to how you

447
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 3: get to that title, you know, in the Western Conference.

448
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: But this could be one of the little boxes along

449
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 3: the way. Yeah, no, it could be one of the drawers.

450
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: Look look, let me just look, man, look, man, look,

451
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: let me tell you about this. We're talking about new media.

452
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,320

455
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: Come on, man, uh but look, Bradley Beal is a

456
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: nice player. Okay. He was supposed to help lead the Suns,

457
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: didn't lead them anywhere, right, He was a nice player

458
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: with the Wizards, didn't get anywhere. Okay, all of a sudden,

459
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 1: he's not gonna go to the Clipper. He's not gonna

460
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: be He's not a guy that puts a team over

461
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: the top. KD is not an over the top guy.

462
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: But I get why the Rockets went after him, because, hey,

463
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: they need someone to make shots down the stretch of games.

464
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: I understand that Katie's gonna take these shots. I get it.

465
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal is not an over the top guy, but

466
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: you would think today. I know, we're starved for NBA

467
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: trades and Lebron and everything else in Karl Anthony Townsend.

468
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 1: The Knick's gonna make a trade. What's gonna happen. I

469
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: get that we're star for that, news man, I understand,

470
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: But Bradley Beal, he's a little bit in an upgrade

471
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: of just a guy. All right, he's the Clippers. First

472
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: of all, I'll tell you exactly how the Clipper season

473
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: is gonna end. Oh okay, every year since balmber bought

474
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: the team has ended. They're gonna win forty five ish games,

475
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: and they're gonna lose in the first round of the playoffs.

476
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: Because this happens when you decide to build around guys

477
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: who are fifty five years old. You whoa, whoa, whoa.

478
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: Now they're accelerating an age, but not like dogs. But

479
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: you're built around bound stars who were thirty five years old,

480
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: and you went out and signed guys. Hey, what are

481
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: we gonna do with Framesy, We're gonna go get guys

482
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: who are thirty five and older. You don't win that way.

483
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: You don't. I don't understand, Kawhi Leonard. It's done, all right,

484
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: James Harden, it's done. These guys are good players in

485
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: the regular season as long as they're healthy, and as

486
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 1: they get older, you worry about their health. But you

487
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs, you're overmatched by younger teams. The

488
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: Lakers got to the playoffs. They were overmatched by a

489
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: younger team. All nobody that's that's fronted by by stars

490
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: who are in their mid thirties goes and wins anything. Right,

491
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: this is how the Clippers here. They'll be a nice team,

492
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: they'll win forty five ish games as long as these

493
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: guys are healthy. But they'll get to the first round

494
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: of the playoffs and they'll go home because James Harden

495
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: will be tired by the time we get to the

496
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: later round, getting games in the first round of the playoffs,

497
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 1: and Kawhi Leonard will be tired. And this is what happens, right,

498
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: This is how every year ends. It's Bill Murray with

499
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: the Sledgehimer breaking the clock in Groundhog Day. Every day,

500
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: when I Got You, Babe comes on d every single day.

501
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: This is what the Clippers do. What they needed to

502
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: do was all right, coming off the Sterling era, I

503
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: get that. Hey, if you're telling me we can win

504
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: forty five games a year and be out in the

505
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 1: first round of the playoffs, every Clipper fan Steve bought

506
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: they would take that in a second. All right, great, hey,

507
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: we need that man. We need to get to a

508
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: new normal here. But this is now eight years of

509
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: the same thing, and it's going and it's going to

510
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: bat relying on the same players who now are no

511
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 1: longer twenty seven to twenty eight years old, but they're

512
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: thirty five and thirty six. You're not gonna win this way, right,

513
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 1: And Bradley Beal's gonna be thirty three and he's had

514
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: declining statistics. Yes, three time All Star Bradley Beal sounds great.

515
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: You're not getting that guy. You're not getting Bradley Beal

516
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: of five six eight years ago. And oh, by the way,

517
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: the Bradley Beal of five seven, eight years ago didn't

518
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: lead anybody anywhere.

519
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: He's a it's a nice move. He wouldn't have put

520
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: the Lakers over the top. He wouldn't put anybody else

521
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 3: over the top. It's oh, hey, you got a guy

522
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: that can play a little bit, and maybe stay healthy

523
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 3: and score fifteen or sixteen off to fifteen off the

524
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: bench is probably what he's gonna wind up doing this year.

525
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: All right, that's great. This is not over the top,

526
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: and the Clippers need to break the cycle and say

527
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: we're a destination now too. We have our own place. Hey,

528
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: we tried with Kawhi, and I feel like Kawhi's but

529
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: on the team now is his entire career, Like we've

530
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: just stricken his championships with the Spurs and the Raptors

531
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: out of the record books, because no, he's been with

532
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: the Clippers now forever.

533
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 3: Right, one, did you win those titles? I was back

534
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 3: in the nineties. Yeah, Vince Carter with with it with

535
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 3: the Raptors, it was great. And then him and David

536
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 3: Robinson they were great one to two punch back in

537
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty seven. Like they've tried, it hasn't worked. But

538
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 3: instead of saying, all right, we need to do something different,

539
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 3: build ourselves around younger stars.

540
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, let's keep going with Kawhi. Let's give

541
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: James Harden more money. When this is how the season ends,

542
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: how was it gonna get any better?

543
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 3: It's doing the same thing over and over again twenty

544
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: nineteen was that title with the Raptors.

545
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: So ponder that. For as long as it's.

546
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 3: Been street Lights over Spotlights were old enough to remember

547
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 3: those billboards and the coming attractions of battling for La

548
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 3: Supremacy with the Lakers and Lebron James coming to town

549
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 3: at that point. So I'm thinking, as you're talking about that,

550
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 3: the breath of things that we've experienced on air together

551
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: here at Fox Bords Radio, because remember the Donald Sterling

552
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 3: stuff started creeping out while we were on air all

553
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: those years ago. So what you have is a conversion

554
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: and convergence of these guys to where their deals are

555
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: all up. End of twenty six twenty seven, the only

556
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 3: guy there Zubatching. I think there's like one other guy

557
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 3: that would have a minimal contract so you can clear

558
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 3: the decks. We were talking with Mark Weiss about the

559
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: how does he get the second year option, Like, well,

560
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: here's eleven million dollars. If you stink we're on on

561
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: the hook for five point five million, we cut you.

562
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 3: We're not getting murdered on the cap if you play, well, yeah,

563
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 3: you go and play somewhere else for a lot more money.

564
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: Have at it.

565
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 3: But we won because that means you played well for

566
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 3: us this year, right, and we got you out of

567
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 3: bargain while Phoenix continues to pay you nineteen point two

568
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: million dollars. That's the greatest heiston at this thing by

569
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 3: you know, buy out was only thirteen million dollars against

570
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: one hundred and eleven million. He gets to keep the

571
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 3: rest good for him. So all of that to say,

572
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 3: as you go through the process, for Beal doesn't have

573
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 3: to be a world beater. He was in situations to

574
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 3: where I would argue how much did he really care?

575
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 3: After a while, certainly in Washington, Yeah, what we were

576
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 3: spinning our wheels.

577
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: Even in the Eastern Conference. We suck.

578
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 3: So take the money, put up some stats, play whatever

579
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 3: games you are as long as you're healthy, and go.

580
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: In Phoenix, it was clear very early on last year

581
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 3: they didn't like each other. Yeah, they didn't like their situation,

582
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 3: but nobody wanted to be the guy to pull the

583
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: plug on it. Devin Booker's going to be the guy

584
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: to stay. Kevin Durant didn't want to move. We get

585
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 3: that report during Yeah, could have gone at the deadline.

586
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 3: There are a bunch of potential suitors. I just didn't

587
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: want to move, and bal was like, the hell with you.

588
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 3: I'm with the Lebron James. I want the two guys

589
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 3: that has a no trade clause.

590
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: I like that.

591
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 3: That is the article and every talking point is he

592
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: won't wave his no trade clause. Look at the cloud

593
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: I have and now you have this opportunity to go

594
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 3: to the Clippers and be part of this with between

595
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: him and brook Lopez. They paid nothing for two guys

596
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 3: that'll be good rotational guys, third, fourth superstar. He didn't

597
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: have to be the guy. That's the other thing for

598
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: beal right, as much as it was Booker and Durant,

599
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: and he was the third guy of a big three.

600
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: I haven't talked about those in a while now. He

601
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 3: was still expected to play and play. Well here's He's

602
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: just a guy on a five point five million dollars deal,

603
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 3: so anything he does is a bonus at this point.

604
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I understand, Hey, we're starved for you.

605
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: The NBA we want. We've been told that all these

606
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: trades are gonna happen. We haven't gotten Eddy Bradley, not

607
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: over the top. And you're still in the West and

608
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: I've just told you how the Clipper season is going

609
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: to end. So there you go. You know, you know,

610
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: don't you need to go to the games. You just

611
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: got Okay, I told you, I told you I was

612
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: gonna end.

613
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 3: You just gotta have a giant board where you mark

00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 5: second round pick just reached in agreement on a four year,

655
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,600

657
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,760

Speaker 1: Star Game, is still the highest rated of all the

681
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: All Star games, which which it should be Chase Ball

682
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: has been that one, and it is not down so

683
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: much over what last year's was. But you know, you're

684
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: talking about seven point two million people watching a watching

685
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: an All Star game where you know, you're just you're

686
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: just seeing more stories about outlook, Baseball is losing viewers Baseball.

687
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: When when I see this, I understand and and I'm

688
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: not gonna sit here and like this is one of

689
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: those stories where I can't say, well, but you know,

690
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: people who are watching on other ways, other devices, Yeah,

691
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: that's always the way. But still, okay, ratings are down.

692
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and beat the drum and

693
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: say you don't know how good the All Star Games are?

694
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: You people are watching these games when it's a playoff

695
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: game and something when and it's on a Saturday, and

696
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: people are, yes, they're they're they're consuming sports differently, but

697
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: here's the only game at night on a Tuesday night. Yeah, okay,

698
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: I understand ratings are down, but this is the reality

699
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: that that people just don't seem to understand for all

700
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: Star games. It's not it's not any criticism about a

701
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: network and what they have and what they're programming. Is

702
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: the big mantra that all leagues have for All Star

703
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: games is slow the slide that that's what it is, right,

704
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: the All Star Game, the era of the All Star

705
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Game is never coming back to us. It was great

706
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: for a long time, right, We look forward to the

707
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: All Star Game in Major League Baseball more than any

708
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: other growing up, and and and still the NBA All

709
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: Star Game was terrific. And then it got really cartoonish

710
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: with the point totals getting up to one hundred and

711
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: eight one hundred and ninety, so we have to do

712
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: something new. The Pro Bowl was still something people watched

713
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: because we were so starved for football. But as time

714
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: has gone on, we get our fill of football. We're

715
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 1: not over We're not underserved on football anymore. So yeah,

716
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 1: the model for All Star games is slow the slide.

717
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:34,279
Speaker 1: They know every year, on a yearly based year to

718
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: year basis, ratings are going to go down. They know

719
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: that the main goal is to let's not lose a lot.

720
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: Let's lose the fewest number reviewers we can. Let's let's

721
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: try to make sure that when it's down compared to

722
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: other years. Here's what the All Star Game was five

723
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: years ago. It's going to be down. Let's make sure

724
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: that it's down a low number. It's not something that

725
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: falls off the cliff. Because that's what you have to do.

726
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,439
Speaker 1: The era of the All Star Game as a must

727
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: see event is over. So how do you try to

728
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 1: figure new ways and designs out to get people to

729
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: continue to watch or to get less people to not watch,

730
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,760
Speaker 1: which is more what it is for All Star games.

731
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, certain things are going to be ideas that

732
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: maybe you love, maybe it don't. Put its way to

733
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: try to get new people to the games, whether it's

734
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: ludicrous doing Welcome to Atlanta, whether it's the players getting

735
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: miked up in Kershaw being miked up in the middle

736
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,919
Speaker 1: of his inning, which was amazingly good. Now you can't

737
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 1: bank on the home run derby swing off every year,

738
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: but sure that was something. I'm sure that saw a

739
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: spike in viewership. Hey it's eight point one million. This

740
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 1: is how we're deciding the All Star Game, right, so

741
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 1: overall it's a success. But understand that you're not measuring

742
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: All Star Game as look at the ratings. We're patting

743
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: ourselves on the back the day after. It's Oh good,

744
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: don't we only lost a little bit and it's still

745
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: the highest rated All Star game of all the All

746
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Star games. Yeah, were okay, who we dodged that bullet.

747
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: Now we'll get ready to try to figure something out

748
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: for next year so we don't lose more people going on.

749
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna lose year to year. Just lose

750
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: it slowly, slow. Every commissioner is saying, I want to

751
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 1: slow the slide until his time for somebody else to

752
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: be commissioner. So I know, I don't want to be

753
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: the commissioner that killed an All Star game. I'm not

754
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy. Just slow the slide, that's what

755
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: it is. Just be careful.

756
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 3: You're sounding like too many politicians from a couple of

757
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 3: years ago. But anyway, oh, stop the steal, Slow the

758
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 3: slow when we look at it. The other part in

759
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 3: John Paul Morosi when he joined us yesterday, he deliberately

760
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 3: used it, and I think part of him felt bad

761
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 3: for saying it, but talking about it the show that

762
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 3: it was, because it was right.

763
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: It was.

764
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 3: It was a game. It had a lot of moments,

765
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 3: but it had a lot of choreograph things. It had

766
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 3: a lot of inserted moments. We had the stand up

767
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,959
Speaker 3: to cancer, which is always such a big poignant moment,

768
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,399
Speaker 3: or our buddy Scott Miller who passed away getting his love,

769
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: and so many others family friends, and not a dry

770
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 3: eye in the house during that. You had the Hank

771
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 3: Aaron tribute. You had like you had all these moments,

772
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 3: the Kershaw thing that we played yesterday, which is still

773
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 3: two of the funnest, funnest minutes of audio that we've

774
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 3: had in a while, and also the suck It, Big

775
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: Dumper when he got back to the dugout and all

776
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 3: like all those modes. But the thing is you're gonna

777
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 3: have so many people that tune in. But those also,

778
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: all those moments became huge viral things across all social

779
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: media platforms YouTube, Twitter, slash x, Instagram, TikTok, you name it.

780
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: So Baseball when they try to go back to the aggregate.

781
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: Now it's it's about finding that audience elsewhere. Like we

782
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 3: were talking about when we're looking at what ESPN and

783
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: Fox and other networks do as they expand and change

784
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 3: their programming. Same thing here, it's all right, you're gonna

785
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 3: get this baseline. They're always gonna be there. Yeah, and

786
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit less. Maybe you get a little

787
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: bit more because you can get a circumstance like this

788
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 3: where you get a spike because of the newness of

789
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 3: a swing off circumstance. But you're also trying to figure out,

790
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 3: all right, how do we have these other moments that

791
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: continue to be part of the process that we capture

792
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: eyeballs and attention and metrics that we can go back

793
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: and sell our advertisers in the next cycle.

794
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's why you're gonna get stunt casting continuing

795
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:17,399
Speaker 1: on All Star Games. Something new, something new here. Look,

796
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: the the NHL stumbled upon the Hey, the Mini Olympics

797
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: like they had last year instead of the all same,

798
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: which is a huge success. The NBA is saying, we're

799
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: borrowing right from that for next year. We're having that

800
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 1: all Star Game. Right. Maybe eventually the Major League Baseball

801
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: tries that for a year. I mean, I don't know,

802
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: but there's gonna always be something because it's just hey,

803
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: let's just keep let's just keep that slide as slow

804
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,479
Speaker 1: as we can. Let's lose the fewest amount of years.

805
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 1: We know we're gonna lose them. We know we're gonna

806
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: lose them. Let's just lose not the biggest numbers.

807
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: See, I think people would have been might have come

808
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: in even in bigger numbers if you'd actually had the

809
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 3: robot on buyers instead of the abs.

810
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: Oh, you had robots and more people. You have robots,

811
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: you know, I mean zombies and aliens.

812
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 3: You got a little guy with the backwards cap and

813
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: his mask and it's a robot.

814
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh yeah, like your programming like he's Frank Drebon. Yeah,

815
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: you get like aliens landing on a you know, from

816
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: Outer Spin with zombies.

817
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:12,760
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that's gonna do it. We got everything

818
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 3: aliens like Jan Soda coming up next. What NBA team

819
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: is stressed out by
