1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879

Speaker 2: it's a late late night here in the McIntire household.

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: Day one of the NCAA tournament is over. It's way

6
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: past one am on the East Coast, and I'm recording

8
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: big big news on the podcast front. Rob G obviously

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 2: just had a young baby. Congrats to that to him

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: and his wife. They now are a foursome with two

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 2: little kids. And now he's getting paternity leave and we're

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: not gonna have Rob G for six weeks. Little Bro's

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: not gonna be back until the NBA playoffs. Oh my gosh.

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: So you know Rob G and I are gonna chop

15
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 2: it up.

16
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 3: Well.

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: I want to do a lot of NCAA tournament, but

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: I do want him to fire off some NBA takes

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 2: that we can bring back in six weeks and throw

20
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: in his face and be like, damn, dude, you called it.

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: You know, like how we've been riding the Austin Reeves train.

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: I mean goodness, gracious. Austin reefs sits out. Lakers get

23
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 2: blasted by thirty. I mean they also sat out Luca,

24
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: but you know whatever, Austin reason is out, so we'll

25
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 2: do that. And NCAA tournament. It's weird because first day

26
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: of the tournament there were just not a lot of upsets.

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you look, it was chalk City blowout city,

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: with the exception of mcnee's State taking down Clemson. Have

29
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 2: to shout out Franfracchilla. I clipped it off and put

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 2: it on Instagram and Twitter. Fran Fricilla said, McNee State,

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 2: watch out. They they can hang with clems that and

32
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 2: take him down. They led and nearly blew it, and

33
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: that was really the only upset. And I confess rob

34
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: G of course, has got very excited to brag about

35
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: his brackets, and I basically I haven't even looked at

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: the brackets. He told me in the Fox Sports Radio one.

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm so happy I'm ahead of you. I

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: was like, oh, how am I doing. He's like, I

39
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: think you're in the It's like I didn't even know that.

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: I don't check brackets until Friday night, you know. First round.

41
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: My daughter legit text from school. Dad. Oh my goodness,

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 2: Clemson lost. I had them going into the sweet sixteen,

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, ah, kids are the best. Yeah,

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking around. Yeah I had money. Many people had

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: Clemson doing things. But as you guys know, we had

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: McNee State in the Calcutta So we're fired up. And

47
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: this is where it gets crazy. I don't know if

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: you guys have looked at lines for Saturday's games yet.

49
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Mcnee's State is I believe a is there one point?

50
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 3: No, I'm sorry.

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: There's six point underdogs against Perdue. And I didn't think

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: Purdue looked great. Mcnee's State was just they're not gonna

53
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: sneak up on Purdue. Purdue did not look amazing in

54
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 2: their open or. They got the win and cover, but

55
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: they didn't like blow them out. It wasn't like soup

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: the nuts, just an ass kicking. So I think Mindee

57
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: State is live for a possible upset in round two

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Since the game were not amazing. My guys, Oh,

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 2: the Tritons UCSD awesome comeback, best player fouls out of

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: like nine minutes left. They got a terrible whistle. But

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna complain if you got three, you got

62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: the cover. If you got two and a half, you

63
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 2: did not, which kind of sucks. Oh you got the push.

64
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 2: I'm sorry to push at three because Michigan's kid made

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: two free throws with like got ten seconds left. That

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: was a good game. Texas Tech got a scare. But

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: here are here. Well we'll go through the well. Lets

68
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 2: you do Friday, lineup really quickly Friday and I'm still

69
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: making plays now. These eight nine games felt like toss ups, right,

70
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 2: Louisville Creighton toss up and no, Creighton made every shot.

71
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: So now we get some decent games. I'm gonna go

72
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: ahead and guess that this New Mexico Marquette game, it

73
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: seems like there's shirt money coming in on New Mexico.

74
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on New Mexico possibly winning out right.

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: Marquette remember lost to Michigan State recently in the I

76
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: think a couple of years ago in the tournament, Shaka

77
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Smarts had his first round issues. I like New Mexico

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: money line as an upset there. I do like Saint

79
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: Mary's against Vanderbilt. By the way, the SEC did not

80
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: look totally dominant. Could have been reading their own clippings.

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: I like Saint Mary's to take down Vandy. I do

82
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 2: like North Carolina against Mississippi. We talked about that one.

83
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: I like Xavier against Illinois. I think if you're looking

84
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: for upsets among the high seeds, keep an eye on Kentucky.

85
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: They could be in some trouble. I don't find anybody

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: talking about Liberty, so naturally, I'm gonna say I don't

87
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: know much about Liberty. Keep an eye as well as

88
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: Akron possibly throwing a scare in Grand Canyon. Who knows,

89
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: we'll see, but listen, it's not the worst thing in

90
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: the world. Guys. If we don't get upsets, that means

91
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: we get a good teams playing against each other and

92
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: real quick before Rob does a victory lap for being

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: top five or whatever in the Fox Sports radio pool.

94
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: After sixteen games, here are the lines for Saturday. So

95
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 2: Perdue is looks like Purdue McNeice is the early game. Ooh, spicy,

96
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: Purdue six point favorites. I would take a look at

97
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: me these state There are the games in order here,

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 2: damn it? Or is per I can't tell if Purdues

99
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: the last game? Any no, no, Perdue the first game.

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: And let's see here we got Auburn is a nine

101
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 2: point favorite against Creighton. I don't think Crayton's gonna stay

102
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: as hot as they were in the opener, but if

103
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: they do, Auburt, it'll be in trouble. Albert did not

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: look sharp. Tennessee four and a half point favorites against UCLA.

105
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: Houston Gonzaga is a great game. Gonzaga looked unbelievable. They

106
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 2: let Georgia twenty seven to three. I like Houston in

107
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: that one, b YU getting one against Wisconsin. I'm on

108
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 2: BYU in that one. A and M minus two against Michigan.

109
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: Nothing on that one one, two, three, four or five six.

110
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: And then I guess I don't see the other lines

111
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: for the other two games. So Texas Tech will be

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 2: let me hit the old refresh button. Yeah, nothing on

113
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: Texas Tech yet. But yeah, so that's the lineup. So

114
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: rob g I know you're excited. You're probably celebrating with

115
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: a bunch of booze. You're going on six I can't.

116
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't know what I would do for six weeks.

117
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: And interestingly, when when you know my kids were born

118
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: over a decade, slightly over a decade ago, I didn't

119
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: get paternally because I was working at the website and

120
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: it was like, I can still blog occasionally. What are

121
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: you gonna do for six weeks?

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 3: My man? That is the question that everybody seems to

123
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 3: be asking me, because even I don't know. Now, obviously,

124
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 3: you know, you got to do the daddy dudies. You

125
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 3: got to take care of the baby and hopefully that

126
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: she develops the way you want her to. That's number one.

127
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're sleeping a lot.

128
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's sort of. But what I've found that I've

129
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: been on the internet's about a lot about this. There

130
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: are a lot more things you can do than you

131
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 3: would expect. Like one of them is I like to golf.

132
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: You know, we've talked about this. No you can. I'm

133
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: not saying I will, but I'm not saying I won't. Either,

134
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: put the kid behind you on the golf cart, you know,

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 3: in that little basket, put some headphones on so she

136
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: doesn't really freak out. I can get nine holes in

137
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: with the baby way, why not?

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: Why not maybe the driving range? Dude, you can't have

139
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: a baby crying on a golf course.

140
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: That's why you get didn't fall asleep, That's why the

141
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 3: whiz of the golf cart or fall asleep. No, I

142
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

143
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: I tell you what, Like you're gonna drive your wife crazy?

144
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 3: Probably, Probably that's a good thing you could hit the

145
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: Jim Hart. Yeah, I can like get on my healthcare

146
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: because I can actually cook food every day. I have

147
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 3: to worry about eating out or rushing from.

148
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 2: Are you still doing that health contest with the guys

149
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 2: on fire?

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: I mean technically we are, but really like everyone's kind

151
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 3: of falling off, except for Rob Parker. Like Rob Parker

152
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: for all of his faults, and he'll tell you this too,

153
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 3: And when he wants to lock in on something, few

154
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: people can lock in better than him. Now, the diet

155
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: that he's on is basically the act is like no

156
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: carbs whatsoever. And the food he's eating is not what

157
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: I would consider healthy, like getting you know, cheese slices

158
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: and a piece of ham with mayo just on it

159
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: is not like a healthy snack. But because the fuck

160
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 3: is doing that, Rob Parker? But because there's no carbs,

161
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: you know, wait's gonna fly off you going back to

162
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 3: this this tournament situation. I'm not gonna gloat that I'm

163
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 3: beating you. Because you know, to be going on, everyone's

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 3: beating you at this point. J Mac and I think

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: that this is what makes March Madness, especially Day one

166
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: of the tournament, easily the greatest day in sports. It's

167
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: three reasons. Number One, it's all day, so if you

168
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: live in a LA on the West Coast like we do,

169
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: from nine am to ten pm, there is basketball on.

170
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: It's not always riveting basketball, but there's basketball on. Number Two,

171
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: it's a one and done format. No matter what the sport, competition, game,

172
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: video game, whatever it is that you're doing. When it's

173
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: one and done, emotions are heightened. Everything seems to be better.

174
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 3: If every NBA Playoff game was a Game seven. I

175
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: promise you, you and I have any conversation about the

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 3: TV ratings being down, everybody would lock in to see

177
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: a game seven and every round was a game seven.

178
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: And Third, I think this is the most important thing.

179
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 3: If you look at this, you know, bracket challenge that

180
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: we're doing through Fox Sports Radio, You of the people

181
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 3: of the talent side that no college basketball. I can

182
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 3: say confidently that you and Aaron Torres are the most

183
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: knowledgeable people that we have when it comes to college

184
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 3: basketball and that's including Doug Golge just because you know

185
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 3: Doug coaches college. We had them on the show, and

186
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure Doug's plugged in. But the reality is, when

187
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: you are a college basketball coach plus a radio show host,

188
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: it's very difficult to follow it to the extent that

189
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: you can, and Torres can, some other guys can because

190
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: you just have more time on your hands. Having said that,

191
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: Jason McIntyre only got eight out of sixteen in his

192
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 3: BRACKETO great, not great. Aaron Torres got eleven at a

193
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 3: sixteen in his bracket. You know who's leading the charge

194
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 3: for Fox Sports Radio?

195
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: Uh oh oh, yeah, I know the answer to this,

196
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: So I'll let you say.

197
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: Friend of the podcast, Steve Hartman went a perfect sixteen

198
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: for sixteen. That to me is illustrative of why people

199
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: love March badness. You have guys like you paralysis by analysis.

200
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 3: You know almost too much about these teams. Steve Hartman

201
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: is a casual college basketball fan. He happens to know

202
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 3: a little bit because his show on the weekends is

203
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 3: on during college basketball season. But there are other names

204
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 3: ahead of you. You know, Rich Davis, Steve Cavino, Carmen Vitali.

205
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: Carmen's great. I don't know how much college basketball Carmen's watching,

206
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 3: but Carmen is killing it in the pick him because

207
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: you can go by feeling. You can say, hey, historically

208
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: twelve beats to five, so this is gonna be the

209
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 3: twelve that I roll with. You know what, I've heard

210
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: of this school before, So I'm gonna make a run.

211
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna say that McNeice because they dropped me

212
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: in a state. I like that they dropped the state.

213
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: So I think that it's gonna be like a burden

214
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: off their shoulders. They're gonna get to the round of sixteen.

215
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: And so anybody can enter a pool, enter a bracket,

216
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 3: have some kind of competition with their buddies and their coworkers,

217
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: and feel like they're invested in it. You don't have

218
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 3: to be a hoops mavin. And honestly, if you are

219
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: a hoops mavin, it's probably gonna work against you. Full disclosure.

220
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: I was gonna copy a bracket from J. Billis. When

221
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 3: I was filling out mine, I was like, Hey, I

222
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: don't know enough college ball. Let me get let me

223
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 3: see what Billis is doing. J Billis knows ball. Ja

224
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: Billis also picked the highest rated team. I think through

225
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 3: the first three rounds. He just said, whoever was the

226
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 3: highest rated in the bracket, that's who was gonna advance.

227
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: And I'm like, you know what, I don't know a

228
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: lot about college basketball, but I can promise you the

229
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 3: higher seed is not gonna win every game. And that's

230
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: kind of what it is. And I think people at

231
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 3: their your base level, at your core level, it's something

232
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: that everybody can relate to. It's like, hey, we're just

233
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 3: kind of broadly picking teams with our buddies, and I

234
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: think it's why people rejoice when it comes to March madness.

235
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: Oh hell yeah.

236
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: So you know it's cool. I'm gonna I'm gonna you know,

237
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna gloat, but now I'm gonna enjoy being

238
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: ahead of you by three picks through day one of

239
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 3: the bracket.

240
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say that. So while you tell me

241
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 2: who you got today, let me grab the three brackets

242
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: I have off the printer. Let me see if they

243
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 2: did better than eight for sixteen.

244
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure they did. I'm sure they did, because you know,

245
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: when you have twenty eight brackets, that's kind of the problem.

246
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: Just looking here at my bracket here. Of course, I

247
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 3: got Auburn. I got Auburn going all the way to

248
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: the national championship and I'm winning the whole thing. I've

249
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: got North Carolina making a little run to the sweet sixteen.

250
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 3: I got Iowa State, I got Marquette, I got Michigan

251
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 3: State and Izzoe because you know, Izzo's always going to

252
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,599
Speaker 3: be in the sweet sixteen, you know, nothing crazy. I

253
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: think the craziest thing that I have going looking at

254
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: my bracket here, if you can call it, that would

255
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: be Colorado State. And that's only because the twelve five

256
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: is such a par for the course big that that

257
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: just happened to be the one that I decided to

258
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: roll with this week.

259
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see why I did poorly. I'm seeing

260
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 2: that I had lit you know, I do some of

261
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,239
Speaker 2: these wacky brackets, so I'm like, yeah, give me Yale, UCSD,

262
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, and Louisville and that right there is a

263
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: absolute crap dumpster fire. I did have Clemson going far

264
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: in a couple, but here's one with the Bees. Yeah,

265
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 2: you know, I'm kind of all over the place. Oh,

266
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: here's my Fox Sports radio. When I finally printed it, yeah,

267
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: some some clunkers there.

268
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 3: But that's the problem is you actually know these teams

269
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: and you're not just blindly picking like the rest of us.

270
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 3: You're like, hell, so you know, this team is great

271
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: on the defensive glass, this team has a faster pace.

272
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: I think this is going to go this way, and

273
00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 3: it's like that it doesn't. If that was the case,

274
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: if it was really about finding the best teams, this

275
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: tournament would not be number one sixty what is sixty

276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 3: eight teams now?

277
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah?

278
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: Right? And number two it would it would be not

279
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 3: be single elimination because this inherently makes it so that

280
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: you don't find the best team. You find the team

281
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: that just happened to get hot at the right time

282
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: or had the right matchup.

283
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll say this. I thought UCSC got a horrible whistle,

284
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: and I might have said that earlier, but I just

285
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: needed to repeat myself. I'm looking at the box score.

286
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: Their best player barely could play because he ended up

287
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: fouling out battling Michigan inside. Anyways, I'm over it.

288
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,000

00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: I should also add, you know, and nobody really cares

293
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: about this. So we played in a Mensleau championship. The

294
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: guy arguably our best player, this guy who who actually

295
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 2: is like a basketball trainer, trains Jack zach Lavine Bogdanovich.

296
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: He had thirty six in the season opener against the

297
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: guys who played in the championship. Last night. He couldn't

298
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 2: play because he's injured, and it's super nice guy, but

299
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: like he was out, I was out. We had two

300
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: other guys who tore the meniscus again. We got a

301
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: team of old dudes and this going guy's young and

302
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: we just ran into a buzzsaw and you know, they

303
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: went back to back the opponents. I will just say, Rob,

304
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: maybe I need to ask for some advice here. I

305
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: don't think the guy's gonna listen, so I'll go ahead

306
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 2: and say it. So the two best players on the

307
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,360

Speaker 1: to listen.

494
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: LIVE i guess we could wrap. Up Cooper flag is

495
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: taking the court today For. Duke he is. ACTIVE i

496
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: don't know if he's going to be on a. MINISTER

497
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: i don't know why he's even. Playing maybe if you

498
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 2: want to warm him up and have him set the,

499
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: BENCH i think that's probably the best. Strategy but there

500
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 2: is a narrative out there That Cooper flag could save

501
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 2: THE ncaa. Tournament then he could be the number one

502
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 2: pick and you, know maybe be the face of the,

503
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: league could be that star that THE, nba The american

504
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: homegrown star that the league is dying. For and then

505
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: you could take it a step further and, say, Well

506
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 2: Cooper flag is, white and who are the most recent

507
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 2: best white players in the. League, well you could go With,

508
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: luca but He's, slovenian and you could go With, jokic

509
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 2: but He's. Serbian you could Go Steve, nash He's. Canadian

510
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: you could go who? Else we Got Larry? Bird do

511
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: you have to go all the way back to Freaking Larry?

512
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: BIRD i, Mean dirk Was, german Not. American so it's

513
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 2: been like forty years since we've had like a really

514
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: Great american white guy in the. League you could Say

515
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 2: John stockton all you. Want he was always a second

516
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: banana on his, Team SO i don't really think he.

517
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Qualifies Kevin love was In minnesota and was a stat

518
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: pattern and then he, goes you, know to the you,

519
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 2: know calvs With lebron and did win a, title but

520
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: in no, way shape or form would see the best

521
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 2: player on his team that was ever in the. Playoffs

522
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 2: SO i don't think you could say he was like

523
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: a potential white star In. America Cooper flag could be

524
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,680
Speaker 2: not only face of the, league but like a humongous

525
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 2: white star in a Predominantly African american. League and then

526
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 2: you toss in the current political climate and you're, like,

527
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: oh you know you're gonna start Hearing i'm just putting

528
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: it out there, now you guys can clip this off

529
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: if you want and save it and make fun of

530
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: me or pat me on the. Back AND i don't

531
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: know eight Months Cooper flag could save THE. NBA nba

532
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: ratings are. Sheesz come, on nobody who watches THE nba

533
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: the narrative. Online by the, WAY nba. RATINGS i saw

534
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 2: that they've been so good With luca in the last

535
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 2: month that they're now. Flat they're not down year over,

536
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 2: Year so you're gonna start seeing. This, oh, look ratings are.

537
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 2: Up it's because Of Cooper, flag and you're going to

538
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 2: start to see the same thing that we saw With Caitlin. Clark,

539
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: oh the only reason people watch THE wnba Is Caitlin,

540
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 2: clark the only. Reason that's the only reason ratings are.

541
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: Up and there's interest because Of Kitlin, clark who's a white,

542
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: star because we're this stupid part of the political climate

543
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: where every single thing becomes politicized and, polarized AND nba clearly.

544
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 2: POLARIZING i don't feel that, way but there's a lot

545
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: of people out there who do you, know half the

546
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 2: country voted for one, guy the other half voted for the.

547
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 2: Other when it comes to president half the. COUNTRY i

548
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 2: don't like THE. Nba the other. HALF i love, it you,

549
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 2: Know AND i, Wonder, rob do you See cooper? Flag assuming,

550
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 2: emerges they win the title Of duke number one, pick

551
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 2: he goes to The bulls or The hornets With LaMelo Or?

552
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 2: Washington could he revive THE nba from a black white standpoint?

553
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: One assuming he is as good as, advertised because WHEN

554
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: i watch him, PLAY i think he's something similar To Paolo,

555
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: bancaro just in terms of the. Physicality he's not as

556
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: girthy As, polo but he. Plays he plays a lot

557
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: of the same. Style he's a more athletic than you,

558
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: think and you, know but we'll see how he develops

559
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 3: he gets to the. League as far as him being,

560
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: WHITE i think it would be disingenuous to say that

561
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: it flat out does not. MATTER i think to your

562
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 3: point About Kaitlyn, Clark Kaitlyn clark is. Great Kayln clark is.

563
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 3: Awesome we've talked about her on this podcast for years.

564
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 3: Now the reality is the best player in THE wnba

565
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: Is Asia wilson and has Been Asia wilson for Something

566
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: i'm now In. Vegas, yes But Caylen clark plays a

567
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 3: unique brand of. Basketball she shoots it Like Steph, curry

568
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 3: he isn't you? Good, well she actually plays more Like

569
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: Trey young Than Steph. Curry you're gonna play that. Game

570
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 3: but because she is a white girl From, iowa that

571
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 3: kind of stuff gravitates to a certain segment of the

572
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 3: country that helped propel her to even further. SUPERSTARDOM i

573
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 3: think you could absolutely see the same thing happen With Cooper. Flag.

574
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 3: Now the problem with it, though is, AGAIN i think

575
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 3: he's very good And Palo bancaro is a Borderline All star.

576
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: Player so me saying that that's WHY i think he's like,

577
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: that that's a.

578
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: Compliment, well if he's if he's, HEALTHY i think he's

579
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: better than Borderline All star. BOY i would say borderline

580
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: all end be.

581
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 3: Sure, Sure but like you, KNOW i don't think anyone

582
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: if you Say Palo bancaro because he's Not Lebron James

583
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 3: lucadanci like they assume that he's not a great he's

584
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: not a really GOOD nba, player which he. Is so

585
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: the problem though with with that That Cooper flag has

586
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 3: working against him is you there hasn't been any really

587
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 3: White american superstars in THE nba Since Larry. Bird if

588
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: you want to Count Kevin, love you want to count

589
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: like this is very short. List the, problem, though is

590
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: when there are so few guys that look like. Him

591
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: when people make comparisons For Cooper, flag they're always gonna

592
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 3: go back To Larry. Bird they're always gonna go back

593
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: To johnstar or whoever your guy is in that. Position

594
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 3: Remember Adam morrison played Like Larry.

595
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 2: Bird oh, yeah.

596
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: WHEN i watched, HIMLAD i didn't see. Anything it looked

597
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 3: Like Larry. Bird but he goes white and he had

598
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 3: a wispy. Mustache SO i guess that you know what it.

599
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: Is and if you don't believe. Me Jim beheim did

600
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 3: an interview on a podcast about a month. Ago this

601
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: was his exact quote About Cooper. FLAG i think he's

602
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: almost to Me bird like a little, bit except he's, quicker,

603
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 3: faster more. Athletic he doesn't shoot it as, well but

604
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 3: the shot is. Coming shots. There it may not be

605
00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: there this, year but it's. There he's got a good.

606
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 3: Release people that's other people are better than him just

607
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 3: don't know anything about. Basketball it's. CRAZY i don't know

608
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: what they're. Watching maybe they're just trying to be contraried or.

609
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 3: SOMETHING i don't. Know But Cooper, flag this is the best.

610
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: Part he's the best all round player in terms of
