15
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: and all the fun today. That is the hottest story going.

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: And you and I were doing our Patreon show earlier

17
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: today as it was developing this Pablo Tory man and

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: he closed the book on Belichick and George on Hudson.

19
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: He's like, ooh, my next fascination is Kawhi Leonard and Balmer. Well,

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: he's doing some reporting, right, but he does sort of

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: lean into certain things pretty hard. The Jeorde Don Hudson thing,

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: the Belichick thing you referenced that who was on that

23
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: harder than him? Now he's unveiled this Kawhi Leonard story

24
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: where he reportedly was paid twenty eight million dollars for

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: a no show job. That's the headline. You're like, what

26
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: does that mean? A no show job with the Clippers? Right,

27
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: didn't Ren don't get that same contract with the Angels. Yeah,

28
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: but it was. Yeah, but this was a way to

29
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: get around the NBA salary cap. Now we're gonna make

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: this clear. We might use the word loophole, but it

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: wasn't a loophole at all. This is not legal in

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the NBA. It's not like some crafty way to get paid.

33
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: It's not like deferring your payment like sho heyo tani.

34
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: This is not like a college donor decided to do

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: something nice, right right, No.

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: There's a fine of up to four point five million

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 2: dollars for a first offense.

38
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: This was a way to circumvent. That's the fancy word

39
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: to go around the NBA salary cap. You wrote that

40
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: word down because Big mike'said it, because I wrote it

41
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: down to I got to hear in the article, soll

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: over the place, guys, it's circumventing. Tory laid out the

43
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: alleged scandal scandal, isn't that your all airdresser? Yeah, scandal

44
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: scandal used to have rich a nice feathered haircut. He

45
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 1: laid out to Scandal on his program to Scandal, and

46
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: it says that he has direct quotes from legal documents

47
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: that made the argument that Leonard was paid twenty eight

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: million through a company owned by Balmer, who owns the Clippers.

49
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: If you don't know, to essentially do nothing. Now, that's

50
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: a pretty sweet deal, except it's not allowed in the NBA.

51
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: Bomber's accused of using the agreement as a way to

52
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: pay Leonard more than his contract would allow, which, if true,

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 1: is a violation of the NBA rules. Now my understanding

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: is it was for some like made up bunk company

55
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: where Kawhi Leonard never didate like a tree plan, tree.

56
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: Plant, tree planting.

57
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: You tell me you couldn't get Kawhi in front of

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: a green screen just to say one time, like, hey

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: it's me Kawhi Leonard. So I was playing the tree right,

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: like hey, there's a salary cap in the NBA. But look,

61
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I want Kawhi Leonard so bad. I'm going to figure

62
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: out a way to get him on the team. Give

63
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: him as much money as possible, but pay him an

64
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: extra twenty eight million dollars to solidify his time and

65
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: place with the Clippers through a company that doesn't even

66
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: really matter or exists. And the ramification was if he's

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: only on the Clippers, right, and Pablotry's all over this,

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: And like Danny g just said, if this is true,

69
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: major finds suspensions like.

70
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: That's not a lass of one first round pick and

71
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: the possibility of avoiding contracts that are involved in any circumvention.

72
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: How do you view this? Do you view this as, Hey,

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: he's just a rule breaker. Good for him, he got

74
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: what he wanted. Hey, there's a few draft picks. He's

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: still got Kawhi. How do you view something like this?

76
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm there's two types of people, oh, players and haters.

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Taylorshift. No, you've said that before. Rule breakers,

78
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: people that are like, you know, rules are you know,

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: a mild suggestion? And then other people that are like,

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm a rules guy. I thought you're gonna say pink

81
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: or red star a burst guys. Pink, by the way,

82
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: both are good blue cheese, or or ranch both are

83
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: good blue cheese. There's two types. Oh, I'm not answering.

84
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: There are two cards of love that you want to know.

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: There are cads love. There's two we do that. We

86
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: do that in Philadelphia outside of garbagean once in a while.

87
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: There's two types of people, and those people are as

88
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: rich said rules people, rules people, Twizzlers people or red vice. No,

89
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: there's two types of people. The keiths or domatically rules

90
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: are rule breakers. I'm a rules follower. I am. I

91
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: believe in rules. I believe in structure. I believe that

92
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: there's a set of rules in play to keep idiots

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: in line. I may seem I'm gonna push the rules

94
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: until you tell me why. Pushing the rules is not

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: rule breaking. You push the rules, you you dance on

96
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: the line a little bit. This is stomping over the line.

97
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: This is just straight up you paid a guy twenty

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: million dollars extra to guarantee that he's on your team.

99
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I have a question when when, in fact, there's a

100
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: salary cap for a reason, when someone is guilty of

101
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: such an offense, are you guys gonna respect it? More?

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: Of Bomber and choir like got him, got us? Here's

103
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: the thing they would have won. If they win, then

104
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, it was worth it. Who cares he

105
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: made it happen? Yeah? That really, that's winning solves everything.

106
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: What they say, right, that would happen here too. Yeah,

107
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, do you admire the Yeah, I did it.

108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: It could be, you know, performance enhancing drugs.

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: It could be.

110
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: Remember the dude a couple of years back, is it

111
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Juicy small Ley? Yeah, but the guy's still denying it.

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: He's I saw the documentary on Netflix. He's innocent, he says,

113
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 1: still denies all his actions. You know what, it reminds

114
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: me down on a brand new documentary, he's actually worth

115
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: the watch. Let me, can I just say something. Yeah,

116
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: I never gave a deadly squat about Juicy Smaley. I

117
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: really didn't. I was like, what a pathetic story, what

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: a loser. The documentary where he doubles down, the new

119
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: one that just came out, it's actually pretty good. So

120
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: it does make you think that he was being boozled

121
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: by the media a little bit. A guy like Juicy

122
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: Smaley doubles down in lies.

123
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

124
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: I know it's a weird analogy, but you and I

125
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: both watch Love is Blind. There was a dude that

126
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: went on that show and he had like girlfriends at home,

127
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 1: and he came to the reunion and he's like, yeah,

128
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know what you want to tell you. I lied,

129
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I got be ouches like he was like straight up, like,

130
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: YO caught. So I ask you when someone's caught, athlete, musician, politician,

131
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, do you admire the fourthright, like, hey,

132
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 1: I tried to get away with it and I got caught.

133
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Or do you think Balmer Kawhi are gonna try to

134
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: be esday way out of this and make us feel stupid.

135
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: It's case by case, man, Because speaking of documentaries, if

136
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: you watch America's team, Jerry Jones seemed to break all

137
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: the rules in the NFL, but he just paved the

138
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: new path. He's like, yeah, rules are for fools. Watch

139
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: me show everybody how to make real money in this league.

140
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: And he changed the league forever.

141
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: Were short sighted.

142
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: People were very short sighted. He's like, I'm a businessman.

143
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,559
Speaker 1: He changed how the game worked and how they made money.

144
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: He changed the league.

145
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: This is different than that.

146
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,239
Speaker 1: It is it is, but he did break the rules.

147
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. It's case by case. That

148
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: was for the greater good of everybody. It seemed to

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: benefit everybody. I don't see how this benefits anyone, but

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard and his pocket. It's not even benefiting the Clippers.

151
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: They're not winning with him, you know, he's not even

152
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: playing all that often. And if they really wanted to

153
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: create a loophole, rich is right, where was Kawhi with

154
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: his fake bootleg local feeling advertisement of Kawhi Leonard? And

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: these are the trees that I'm playing more attention attention

156
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: to it. There should be something in his back pocket.

157
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: We're like, no, here he is. We have the proof

158
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: right here. He's a spokesman. They gotta have to.

159
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, but once they found out Bomber owned that supposed company.

160
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: I wonder what tipped off Pablo Tory to like further

161
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: investigate this. Oh it was the janitor from Billy Madison. Yeah. Now, seriously,

162
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: someone had to have a scoop and they fed him

163
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: this scoop Unless he just somehow came across these documents

164
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: or he had a hunch, I don't know. Good for him, though,

165
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: it's a it's a big story. Is becoming the uh

166
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: Ernie anasts. Now there's a lack of actual investigative reporting

167
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: in the day's world, right, so you got to give

168
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: him credit for that. And as this story develops. It

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: may benefit the NBA in the future because if anyone

170
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: else is up to this, it'll put a stop. I'm

171
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: sure there's a lot of people shaking in their boots

172
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: right now, like, oh man, I hope I'm not next,

173
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: because maybe he's just the first of many that.

174
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: The fake company, by the way, is called Aspiration.

175
00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: Oh it's beautiful.

176
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: You know.

177
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: I'm an ass operations. I'm with these as I grab

178
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: a lot of ass beirations. I'm always fascinated, but I'm

179
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: always fascinated how we tend to give more credit to

180
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: people than they deserve. Sometimes, like Cavino, you always say,

181
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: your dad will say things like yeah, I heard on

182
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: the radio, gotta be true, and you're like, Dad, I'm

183
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: on the radio. He still does that, Yeah I heard

184
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: on the radio, Dad. Again, Buffoon's like me, are on

185
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: the radio? Guy is no more credible than your goofy son.

186
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: And I think it's interesting. Sometimes there is an investigation

187
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: and you're like, was it really a good investigation if

188
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: they never got to the bottom of it. I always

189
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: think about Mantiteo and how until one reporter or so decided, like,

190
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: you know, let me even look this Kokkooi girl up.

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: He ran with that, and everyone just sort of kooy.

192
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: He wasn't a boogeyman. Wasn't it a Linney Kokooi or

193
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: something that is that the name?

194
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 5: And he didn't know at first and then he found

195
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 5: out he just didn't.

196
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: I always felt so bad for Mantitao. He feels like

197
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: just a really genuine guy that couldn't believe someone would

198
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: trick him. But there was a time period where it's like, Wow,

199
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: if anyone did any investigating at all, this would have

200
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: blown up way sooner. But it seems like that's a

201
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: weird story to really press and investigate, even though it

202
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 1: became a big story, right, Like someone had to really

203
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: have a what's the expression Give me another expression besides

204
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: besides the one I keep I keep wanting to say,

205
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: they got a real blank on for that real, real,

206
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: real stiffy, No, a real hankering. They got a real, real,

207
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: real joy, a real joy of getting to the bottom

208
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: of this. This one is like it's cheating kind of right,

209
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: It's it's just kind of is that how you look

210
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: at it, is that that's just cheating. It's not kind

211
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: of It's not like, yo, did I cheat. I kept

212
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: my socks on.

213
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: And the more you find out too, it says here.

214
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: Tory's investigation also uncovered that Leonard was supposed to be

215
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: paid seven million by Aspire, a company that lists Leonard

216
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: as its manager.

217
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: Damn manager of what he manages? Man?

218
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: What is he?

219
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: Bobby? The brain? Heenon? So I think that's the difference here, Like, Yeah,

220
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 1: we see a lot of these random stories uncovered. I

221
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: don't know the motive behind a lot of these stories.

222
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: Just I guess investigative journalism and breaking a story's fun

223
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: in that world and in that game. But this is

224
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: just straight up cheating. This is the NBA. You know,

225
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: you have to nip it in the butt. This is

226
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: one of importance and significance, And man, I bet your

227
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard is playing real dumb right now. Here's a

228
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: guy who never talks as it is, He's definitely keeping

229
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: his mouth shut about this. I'll be honest. My instinct

230
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: is like, who cares to go that deep into But

231
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: you know when people do, I'm always fascinated, I'll be honest.

232
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: The documentary is the stories breaking You're great, I less not.

233
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,839
Speaker 1: I watch the one you guys recommended about the catfish,

234
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: unknown number, unknown number, the high school catfish. You gotta

235
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: start thinking if no one really dove into it, you

236
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: would never find out. And then when you do find out,

237
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: you're like, man, people are wild. Now, Kawhi has been

238
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: a clipper for years now. So if Paboloty or someone

239
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: didn't say this seems a little odd, tell me dig

240
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: a little deeper it.

241
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 6: You know what?

242
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: It also reminds me too rich, Like how would I

243
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: have got to wait? Yeah, what you could find if

244
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: you're digging deep enough, you know. And now I'm not

245
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: saying everyone has skeletons, but as my as my dad

246
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: always said, you know, if you're looking, if you look

247
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: hard enough, you'll find something on everybody. Yeah, you know.

248
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: It's then you wonder why I keep my phone private,

249
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: because if you look far enough, you'll probably see something

250
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: that's a little sketchy. You know what. The crazy part

251
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: is someone runs for office. It could be a local

252
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: politician or big time you know, national figure. They have

253
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: done stuff in their past that never have even been touched.

254
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: But the minute you're under the microscope, someone is there

255
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: waiting to try to find some dirt on you. Yeah,

256
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: and Danny G's right. The difference here and these other

257
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: salacious stories that we're bringing up is that this is

258
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: actually cheating in the NBA. This is doing everything you

259
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: can because you're a rich guy with deep pockets to

260
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: get that superstar you had your eye on, and you

261
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: thought you found a loophole. But it's not a loophole.

262
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: You just went around the salary cap, which is not

263
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: legal in the NBA, and you just cheated. So I honestly,

264
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: I think repercussions should be stronger than that. Danny g

265
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: to set a precedence. Dare I say, and I'm not

266
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: a again I said, I'm not a big rules guy,

267
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: but I think this is if this is true, and

268
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: it's straight up a careless I even feel, you know what,

269
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: I'm assaulted about the first of many, you know what,

270
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm insulted by it. I think Bomber's the only guy

271
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: who's used to getting what he wants find a way

272
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: by how simplistic it is, like really like a half

273
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: made up tree company twenty eight million dollars, like try hard,

274
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 1: convince me more, make a product to make them the

275
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: spokesperson like spire. It just seems like it seems so

276
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: half fast done that. I almost feel like suspensions should

277
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: be in place.

278
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 5: Do you think they got there tried to get it

279
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 5: passed because he's a Clipper. They're like, Okay, we could

280
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 5: do hairstylist or or something with trees. Yeah, I'm a

281
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 5: clipper trees for twenty eight million dollars, he's the best

282
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 5: that there is around and nobody will notice.

283
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: I just think it was so half aass, Like if

284
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: you were to be like rich, try to hide twenty

285
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 1: eight million dollars for displayer. I feel like if you

286
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: put a team of marketing people in the case, they

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: could have easily figured it out to manipulate. They could

288
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: have invested a million dollars to make it look completely

289
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: real and coved and gave it. Got twenty seven to.

290
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: Clear up the two names of the companies because what

291
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 2: they did here, it's two companies funneling money together. So

292
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: the KL two Aspire, that's a company that Leonard was

293
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: supposedly the manager of. Aspiration is the supposed tree company

294
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: from Clippers owner Steve Bomer.

295
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: Oh they even I think the spelling of the company

296
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: tipped off Tory A, S, S and ir.

297
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like the similarities between the names of the two companies.

298
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: To me, guys, I'm even more fascinated by again the

299
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: simple fact that it seems like the effort level put

300
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: in for this cover up because I feel like they

301
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: could be really they could be irs implications, tax implications.

302
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about companies that are sort of

303
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: faking money to a guy like, I'm sure this keeps

304
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: going deeper.

305
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: I think their best excuse is that Kawhi was hurt.

306
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 5: That's why he couldn't show up for work like at all.

307
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 5: That's why he did nothing because he was all in

308
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 5: the court actually wanted him to do work, but he

309
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 5: was always hurt and there was nothing that we could

310
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 5: do a.

311
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: Tree management man.

312
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: So uh, Pablo Tori and getting no Christmas card from

313
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, I can tell you that so interesting story.

314
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: But again, much like like I don't know is a

315
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: random example. I just popped in my head when Garret

316
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: Cole got in trouble for Spider Tank, right, yeah, He's like, ook,

317
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: hey man, I'm the guy everybody's coming down on. But

318
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: everybody knows that this is what goes on in the league.

319
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm not the only guy. I really believe these rich dudes.

320
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: There's more than one rich dude pulling shady moves like

321
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: this to get who they want you. There's a lot

322
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: of other players in these situations. They oh, snap, you

323
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: know it's about to drop.

324
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 2: As you see, it's hard to hide these sort of shenanikis.

325
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they hit it this long. But you're right.

326
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: But I think this is the first of many. So

327
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: I think I think Tory exposed or blew the lid

328
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: on something that's about to explode.

329
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 5: I have a question because if this were the lakers

330
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 5: of the Celtics, I think we'd be losing our mind.

331
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: Do we look at the Clippers as they have nots

332
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 5: of always being the Clippers, or do we look at them.

333
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: You know what? It's almost like they can't even get

334
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: this right.

335
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's yeah, that's right, that's pretty Yeah, that's accurate.

336
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Like these Clippers they can't. They go, they go out

337
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: of their way, cheat try to manipulate the system, and

338
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: they still can't even make a playoff front. No, you're right, Dan,

339
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who it is, because if it was

340
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: like Oklahoma City or Celtics or the scene that's won

341
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: in the past few years, you'd be like whoa, and

342
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: you know what, look at stuff at football. I think

343
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: if the flight gate is not Tom Brady the Patriots,

344
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: if it was, like if Kyler Murray and the Cardinals

345
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: were doing the flate gate, I think they'd be like,

346
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: come on, man, just fix the next storry Like it's

347
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: it's who does it? And hold on, you're right, you're

348
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: right on by the way. As far as uh, it

349
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: can't be the only guy it's I doubt it. It's

350
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: like if you see just guy. You know, when you

351
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 1: see some guy getting caught doing some scandal stuff in

352
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: Vegas or something, you think he's the only guy. He's

353
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: just the guy that got caught. He's the guy that

354
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: got caught and they're gonna do further investigations now to

355
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: put a stop to that. It is cheating and man,

356
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: as far as a business man, I can't criticize Steve

357
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: ballmer right, I'm Steve Cavino. Barely a thousand are paying

358
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: Chance support, but the twenty eight million dollars for that

359
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: dude and extra Like, I'm like, why why why Kawhi Leonard?

360
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: He was he was great at the time. Quadruple doink.

361
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: When Jeremy Lynn was still playing in the NBA, before

362
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: he retired now six years ago.

363
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 7: Cuh.

364
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: Why the reason is you think back to the major

365
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: announcement and the uncovering of him finally deciding to go

366
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 2: to the Clippers. So many teams wanted him, and it

367
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 2: came down to the Lakers and the Clippers.

368
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: In retrospect, he got ripped off. Well, that's what I

369
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: think about it. You forget Spurs Championship. Wait till the

370
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: Raptors champions Championship. Why hasn't been the scene? And then

371
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: remember it it was a battle of what LA team?

372
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: You're lucky if he's playing Balmber got the raw deal

373
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: here twenty eight million dollars. Kai got to do nothing? Kawhi?

374
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 1: What was it? He was supposed to be out planning trees?

375
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: He was. It was just a I can't say loophole

376
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: because it wasn't loophole. Was just straight up wrong. It's

377
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: just breaking the rules. It was just a made up

378
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: thing where they used that as a reason to give

379
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: him twenty eight million extra dollars. Where do trees come

380
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: into play?

381
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 8: Though?

382
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: That's a tree company.

383
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: Because the company that Bomber funded was a tree planting company.

384
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 9: Let me just say that you'll never find twenty eight

385
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 9: million dollars in a tree planting company. Okay, you get

386
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 9: what you pay for when you hire landscapers and people.

387
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 9: I've worked in that industry, and it's you're not going

388
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 9: to be like, oh, this is a one million dollar tree.

389
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 9: You're playing in the trees that cost you know, a

390
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 9: couple hundred bucks, maybe one thousand bus.

391
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: I just had a tree pulled out of my yard,

392
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 1: an old dead tree. Yeah, a couple hundred bucks. Yeah,

393
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: it's it's not a lucrative business. It's a hard at

394
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: work business to make.

395
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: Tree trimming is lucrative, though.

396
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: It's three burial pods to.

397
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 2: Tory found out that Bomber funded fifty million dollars into

398
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 2: this tree planting company.

399
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: Was money growing on these trees?

400
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 6: Apparently?

401
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: I was even trying to be a joke, Sam, You

402
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: know what, usually I mocked your jokes. Well, Hey, your

403
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: thoughts on Kawhi, your thoughts on Bomber. Go to expresspros

404

Speaker 1: dot com to find the location near you. That's expresspros

405
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: dot com. I'm Steve Cavino, that is Rich Davis. Hey, Express,

406
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a face from my plea tree planting company.

407
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: What about twenty eight million dollars. Must be nice, must

408
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: be nice. Steve Bomber on yours one of the Clippers said,

409
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: Dennygs are the Clippers of comment.

410
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. They told the La Times in a statement, neither

411
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: mister Bomber nor the Clippers circumvented the salary cap were

412
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: engaged in any misconduct related to Aspiration. Any contrary assertion

413
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: is false. The team ended its relationship with Aspiration years

414
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: ago during the twenty two to twenty three season, when

415
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: Aspiration defaulted on its obligations follow the money Bomber's company, though,

416
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: It says this is how this came out. It says

417
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: a former Aspiration finance department employee had his voice heard

418
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: on Torre's podcast and that's when it started being.

419
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: Invest Okay, so this is a breaking and developing story

420
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: from Pablo Torre's podcast about Kawhi Leonard and Steve Bomber.

421
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: And again it's not something that's allowed in the NBA.

422
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: So as of now, it's all alleged. Let's keep that

423
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: in mind. But well, these are big accusations, you know,

424
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: and you and Danny G were you know, there's gotta

425
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: be He said he saw the documents. You and Danny

426
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: g were having some good conversation off the air. Why

427
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: don't you tell everyone what you guys were talking about.

428
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: You were making some analogies with the sopranos, and I

429
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: thought it was actually a really clever anellogan. It's really

430
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: hard to explain. It was the story of Artie Buco

431
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: and how he called out Tony for sort of sopranoing

432
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: him as a friend, and Tony's like, well, what do

433
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: you mean. Basically, Tony was thinking way ahead of Artie Buco.

434
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: He's a businessman, so he knew that if Arti Buco's

435
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: restaurant deal fell through and the money didn't come through,

436
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: that hey, he had Buco in his back pocket and

437
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: he ate for free at his restaurant the rest of

438
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: his life. The point is Tony Soprano was always thinking

439
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: a step ahead, and we got to give credit to

440
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: businessman like Steve Bomber for always thinking a step ahead.

441
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: There might be a reason that this story came out,

442
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: and there might be a reason he did it. And

443
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: that step ahead is hey, if I ever get caught,

444
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I guess slapped on the wrist. Who cares? And maybe

445
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 1: I get out of this deal in the NBA unless

446
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: it's the NBA winners are not built on draft picks.

447
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: You could argue with me, but it's really based on

448
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: free agency, right, who gets what, big guy? I think

449
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: Steve Bomber and the Clippers were thinking getting Kawi in

450
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: that moment. Yeah, it didn't work out, but think about

451
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: in that moment when it was like, all right, it's

452
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: us first, the Lakers. How are we going to make

453
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: a splash in Los Angeles? We have a new arena coming.

454
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: The Clippers may have a little momentum. Make it happen

455
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: at all costs. We need a star player. We need

456
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: to get this done. And the whole tony soprano thing

457
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 1: we were talking about off the hair is people are

458
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: in that power position for a reason. They see the

459
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: the again, not loopholes. They see the ways to circumvent.

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: They see the step ahead. They see things that you're

461
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: not thinking about, and they could envision these things and

462
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: how they pan out if God forbid things go wrong.

463
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: And Steve Bomber knew probably way in advance, that this

464
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: is what would happen, and he was okay with that.

465
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: And you know what, I know, I'm speaking of fiction,

466
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: but think of any movie or drama you watch what

467
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,919
Speaker 1: do they always do. It's like the plot line of everything,

468
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: follow the money, and they always, you know, they'll always

469
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: call up some you know, foreign accounts or something like

470
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: and it links to a company and that's how they

471
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: find the bad guy. So, I mean, follow the money.

472
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: Steve Bomber's connected.

473
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: Shocking by the way that former Aspiration finance department employee

474
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 2: said other celebrities were paid to endorse Aspiration and its

475
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: supposed chet planning operation, Robert Downey Junior, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Drake.

476
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: He says, every other celebrity endorsement, though combined, would have

477
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 2: not met even a quarter of Kawhi Leonard's endorsement.

478
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: Do you think those were done for other things like

479
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: maybe a concert, maybe an appearance, maybe something like dude,

480
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: rich people find ways, and maybe that's his weird way

481
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: of laundering money to people. I mean, that's you know,

482
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: you got to assume that rich people try to stay

483
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 1: within the legal loopholes and not accusing Bomber or doing

484
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: anything illegal. But hey man, it's like, if you don't

485
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: think he's thinking a step ahead of guys like you

486
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: and I. You don't become a billionaire by being a Putts.

487
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: That was the point and the Soprano's analogy was when

488
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: Artie Buco realized, man, Tony Soprano was just thinking one

489
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: step ahead of me. He realized, well, that's why he's

490
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: Tony Soprano, and this is why he's Steve Bomber. So

491
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's a mafia guy, but I'm saying

492
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: he's a businessman. Then, whether or not this is true

493
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: or confirmed down the line, it's an interesting story. Doug,

494
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: you're on a Maryland what's up, buddy?

495
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 3: Hey, guys, Yeah, but there's no salary caps for actors. Okay, Yeah,

496
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 3: Well this is quine essential example of a ribery.

497
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 10: Okay.

498
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 3: And I told Danny g that more than likely because

499
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 3: I'm assuming that the commissioner hasn't completed his investigation yet.

500
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 3: This is this is Daniel Schnyder territory.

501
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 11: Okay.

502
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: I honestly believe that after everything's done, and if this

503
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 3: is all true, then he's going to be forced to

504
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 3: sell that team.

505
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, there could be bigger I think repercussions.

506
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: Here, and I don't think the NBA would go that far.

507
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: Maybe not that far, because he's got deep pockets and

508
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: he's also like Set is an unlikable guy, Bomber is

509
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: a likable guy. This factors.

510
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 5: There's also the point of I think that there's equity.

511
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 5: And we know that the NBA isn't always on the

512
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 5: up and out. But when he bought the clippers of

513
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 5: the whole that they were in one of them so

514
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,280
Speaker 5: bad that he extremely paid way more than market value

515
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 5: so he could get them. But that name was so

516
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 5: tainted that yeah, this may but there's I don't think

517
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 5: there's any way I would be beyond shock too if

518
00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 5: they were.

519
00:25:58,359 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: To remove And you know why because even though this

520
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: team scandalous, Bomber for the most part's reputation is solid

521
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: right like dance to compare to the Dan Snyder, who

522
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: people hated in Washington.

523
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 5: And as you guys have been saying, like they have

524
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 5: penalties in place for this, so it's not like this

525
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 5: is what do we do here? This is unfounded, like

526
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 5: there are fines for this, There are things that happen

527
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 5: if you violate these sort of things. I don't think

528
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 5: it's enough for removal of team great.

529
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: Thank you for the phone call. Thank you, Dan Bayer.

530
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: The numbers eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That's

531
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: the big story of the day, and we'll keep you

532
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: posted as it develops.

533
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: You guys do think the penalty should be greater.

534
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: Though, definitely? What is it again? The draft pad up.

535
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: To five point five million dollars in fines. I think

536
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 2: it said one first round pick, and then you could

537
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 2: they could void the contract that's involved.

538
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about dude like billionaires for the most he

539
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: has to wear croucks for a week. Oh oh yeah,

540
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: I mentioned that. Yeah, that's pretty steep.

541
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 5: CBS Sports did a an article off of this, and

542
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 5: they pointed to in the mid nineteen nineties, the Knicks,

543
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 5: we're trying to get Michael Jordan, and we're going to

544
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 5: try to do a sort of deal to give him

545
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,199
Speaker 5: money through Sheridan the hotel and pay him that way. Now,

546
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,199
Speaker 5: ultimately NBA rules the Bulls could pay him whatever they

547
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 5: wanted to pay him, and could pay more than anybody else.

548
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 5: But that was a way that the Knicks, who had

549
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 5: a certain amount of money to pay, we're gonna maybe

550
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 5: try to work around.

551
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Michael Jordan, could they have? If that was not

552
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 1: say it was legit though, that wouldn't be any breaking

553
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: of the rules, right If the Knicks were to work

554
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: a deal with the Sheridan, but it really did come

555
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: from the Sheridan. Would that be okay if it was

556
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: just contingent on him signing with the Knicks, Well, I

557
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: think it's.

558
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I I don't want to say they're getting

559
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 5: into a gray area, but I thought, yeah, to the

560
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 5: to the point of I'm just I'm trying to think

561
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 5: of a company that is a Coca Cola in Atlanta. Okay,

562
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: let's just say that way, Like if you were to

563
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 5: sign with the Hawk and Coca Cola is like, all right,

564
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 5: we're going to sign you to an endorsement deal.

565
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: You know.

566
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: Is that Are you like not going to get a

567
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 5: Coca Cola deal if you signed with the Hornets or

568
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 5: is it? I just, I just I don't think that

569
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 5: that would necessarily be illegal as opposed to what this

570
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: sounds like as just a fraud of a.

571
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: Company, because I believe that probably happens all the time, Like, yeah,

572
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:23,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna get this deal, but it's contingent when you

573
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: sign with this this.

574
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 2: Is the city to come to. You can get sponsored

575
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: by the companies that are.

576
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: His Yes, And that's something we don't think about that often.

577
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: And this story again, is a is a BS tree company?

578
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: Was there any validity to the actual company then, But

579
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 1: don't realize Michael Parsons has a cheese Kurds deal in place.

580
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, That's what people are trying to find out,

581
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 2: is if there's any validity at all to this tree

582
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 2: planting company. Tore says he investigated and can't find any

583
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: evidence that it was a real thing, this deal with Kawhi.

584
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: So that's what we're hearing so far. But I'm sure

585
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 2: more is going to come out in the next few days.

586
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 12: You know.

587
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound like gossipy little schoolgirls, but

588
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: it's an interesting story, really cool, interesting story. We'll keep

589
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: you posted. And that being said, speaking of updates, let's

590
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: go to our guy Dan but and just add a

591
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: little bit more context. The Knicks and Sheridan were owned

592
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: by the same company at the time. Okay, so there's

593
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: where some of that would have been a little not

594
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: on the up and up root that. Hey, you know,

595
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: advertise this Times Square Sheridan if you will, Michael Jordan. Anyway,

Speaker 1: Tyrak has been helping customers find the right tires for how,

620
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: be Now that Grisham him Grisham gris he's him the

621
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: Grand Salami he hit. Did you see the controversy on

622
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,479
Speaker 1: the next pitch? Yeah, man, So this is just a

623
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: it's more of a visual. But the picture for the astros,

624
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: please remind me the name. Do you mind looking it

625
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: up real quick? Well it's Framber Valdez Franval Okay, So

626
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: Valdez is shaking off. The catcher's like, yo, step off

627
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: the mound, step off, and Valdez doesn't and he lets

628
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: up the Grand Salami to Grisham changed the whole game around. Yeah,

629
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: the very next pitch, he's so mad that he just

630
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: throws a ninety five mile per hour heater into the

631
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: chest of his catcher. And then because the catcher got

632
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: quote crossed up and was expecting a breaking ball or

633
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: a change up. And there's a lot of speculation that

634
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: it was like a spiteful like he denied it like

635
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: a whole type of move. Like so you get what

636
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,959
Speaker 1: we're saying. The catcher shook off the pitcher told him

637
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: to hey, step off, and they had a miscommunication, gives

638
00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: up a grand slam, mad at the catcher because of it.

639
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: On the next pitch drills the catcher. I believe it.

640
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I believe the story because you see how fired up

641
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: he was. So again he's accused of intentionally intentionally crossing

642
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: up his catcher because he was mad at him because

643
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: of the grand slam. I mean and trash behavior was

644
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: you might say, and the catcher, by the way, Caesar

645
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: Salazar was catching, he might say, how could a major

646
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: league catcher get mixed up? But if you're expecting, you know,

647
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: seventy eight eighty two mile an hour breaking ball away

648
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: or change up or change up, and then al a sudden,

649
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: you get inside high heat or something. Then it caught him.

650
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 1: It hit It hit the catcher right in the chest.

651
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, Salazar, the catcher looked at him like,

652
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: what what's up? Valdez turned around like he was pissed.

653
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: Even I think Vulpi was at bat. Vaulpi was like, yo, damn,

654
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: that just happened. They're denying it, and they were saying

655
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: it was a mix up, but it seemed pretty evident.

656
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 1: You know that, you know there was some spike going on.

657
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: You ever see like a high school game where they

658
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: do this city umpire? Yeah, yeah, you see that was

659
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 1: like odd clips where like it could be worsane. Dude,

660
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: you're throwing high heat like that. I've seen women's softball

661
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: where these women are mad at the umpire and the

662
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: catcher just sort of doesn't go for the ball and

663
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: the pitcher whips in the ball right at the umpire's head.

664
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 1: So hey, listen, we're gonna get to a bunch coming

665
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: up midweek Major and Mike's words of wisdom, gonna give

666
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: away a prize next Inside Yankees bet between Aaron Judge

667
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 1: and Jazz Chisholm. We talked about it briefly. I thought

668
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: it was fun. They made like a friendly bet with

669
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: each other. Oh, I know the bet they made, but

670
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: you probably talk about mostly on your corner Yankee chat.

671
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,239
Speaker 1: You probably have a going on.

672
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 4: No.

673
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: But the bet was, now who has more home runs?

674
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: Who has more home runs than stolen bases combined? You

675
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: remember that because Chisholm was like, that should be the stat.

676
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: It should be a stat home runs and stolen bases combined.

677
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: He said, if thirty, thirty and forty forty matters so

678
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: much that should be a stack. Okay, So where are

679
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: they at right now? I looked it up because Chisholm

680
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: hit two bombs last night. He's winning fifty four to

681
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: fifty two. So Aaron Judge, give me those numbers again,

682
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: fifty four to fifty two, Ugus Won Soto has sixty

683
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 1: four combined. Just just say you know, just let you know,

684
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Donald Truce.

685
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: If O Tommy wasn't pitching this season, he'd have a

686
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 2: yall blown out the water.

687
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 8: Great.

688
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: No, But I looked it up because I was curious.

689
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: I was like, what was that bet at Lon Soto's

690
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: got twenty seven stolen bases and thirty seven home runs.

691
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: Chishom's gonna end up thirty thirty probably, So he's at

692
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight home runs and twenty six stolen bases, and

693
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 1: Judge is at forty three home runs, and where is

694
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: he like nine stolen bases. So again, Jazz is in

695
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: the lead fifty four to fifty two. But anyway, Frank

696
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: Franken's like getting a bed jump with three steps and

697
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: judges at second.

698
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 3: I think that.

699
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: Should be a stat though, if we're gonna put emphasis

700
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: on forty forty and fifty to fifty and thirty thirty?

701
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: How does that not count? So anyway, then you know,

702
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: who know who would have the highest total? Ever? Am

703
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I wrong by guessing? What? Remember when Acuna did it?

704
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: That's a good he have like he had the forty

705
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: home runs obviously, but then he have like sixty seventy

706
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: stolen bases that he might have the highest toll. That's

707
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: kind of cool. Yeah, I don't know. Was Otani had

708
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 1: fifty to fifty?

709
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: Right?

710
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: So he had fifty to fifty? Yeah, officially the first

711
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: to do it. So just giving you the update there,

712
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: big Yankees fan riches a Mets guy, Danny g Dodgers Sam? Sam?

713
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: Who's your team? Baseball? Did you forget?

714
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 2: Sorry?

715
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: I was listening to something else. What was the proclaimer

716
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: he's preparing?

717
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 9: I was preparing the words of wisdom from that nice

718
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 9: my favorite baseball team. He's let's say the Creed I was.

719
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 9: I grew up a Phillies fan. You know nice all right?

720
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 9: By the way, I like the Dodgers too.

721
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 1: I look at you. When Otani went fifty to fifty,

722
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: do you remember what his final numbers were? Because I

723
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: guarantee it wasn't one hundred and fourteen. That year Ronald

724
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: Acunya Junior. He hit forty one home runs and he

725
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: had seventy three stolen bases. I wonder if that's is

726
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: that the right? I mean, think about who has this

727
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: had a better.

728
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: Most combined or that were forty forty.

729
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: I would say most. I would say find most combined

730
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: has to be Aris Jr.

731
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 5: No, And it's kind of a tricky thing. Ricky Henderson

732
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 5: stole one hundred and thirty bases, one hundred and forty.

733
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 5: But that's why I wanted to make sure talking like

734
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 5: forty forty guys who qualified him.

735
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 1: I think I think to make what Camino is saying

736
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: that's stat I think you have to go thirty thirty

737
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 1: mets fair twenty twenty is mild. I think still solid though.

738
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, Ricky, the Ricky, the Ricky was just stilling.

739
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: The Ricky would get on base and steal two bases

740
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: every time. Good call, dB, thank you for making us

741
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: feel stupid. But no, no, no, but but I don't know.

742
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: But if you're thinking of that home run stole base,

743
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: because Ricky did hit ten twenty home runs in years, right,

744
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,480
Speaker 1: he hit some he had some years, but I do

745
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,480
Speaker 1: think that if you say minimum thirty home runs like

746
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: a guy that was the thirty thirty club. No, I

747
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: don't think anyone's touching Akunya Junior with forty one and

748
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: seventy three. I had a year man. So anyway, I

749
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: hope your teams are winning. Every Wednesday, we do Midweek

750
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: Major So we do that later on today the biggest

751
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: stories in sports and pop culture. But we also do

752
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: something called Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. All you have

753
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: to do is listen and repeat verbatim. Could I give

754
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: you one fun fact in the in the vein of

755
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: Dan Bayer when he just made me feel like a dunce.

756
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: Leave your vein out of this. I had a buddy

757
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: give me a trivia question. This is one where you

758
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: could absolutely trick anyone because it's like one of those

759
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: semantic Okay, one of my softball buddy says a bit,

760
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: You'll never guess what Major League baseball player in history

761
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:49,239
Speaker 1: has the most go ahead home runs in history, And

762
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: the answer is Ricky Henderson, because we can see has

763
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: the most leadoff home run. So start off anytime you

764
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: start off a game, if you hit a home run

765
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: one nothing, there's your go ahead home run. So that's

766
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 1: like one of those like wan wah trivia questions, and

767
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: so who has the most go ahead home runs in history?

768
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: The Ricky rest in peace? All right, you want to

769
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,919
Speaker 1: do this? Mike'shere, it's a wisdom. Let's kick it. Oh,

770
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 1: it's time for the guy that runs this place.

771
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 5: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

772
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 2: He is not in charge of everything. He has no

773
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 2: power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

774
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:30,800
Speaker 12: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

775
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 6: Healing is more about accepting pain and learning to coexist

776
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 6: with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which

777
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 6: is impossible.

778
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: Was Mike on the turlet? When do you recorded that?

779
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: One?

00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,760

Speaker 1: I know.

782
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 9: That's some pretty sage advice, though I know you know

783
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:58,959
Speaker 9: it's not. It's serious. Yeah, very serious, definitely gonna nothing

Speaker 6: Healing is more about accepting pain and learning to coexist

00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,479
Speaker 6: with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which

791
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 6: is impossible.

00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: Mike was in the mood. I guess so if you

00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,239

Speaker 1: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And while we

805
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: get the phone calls going, yeah, let's talk about your

806
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: boy who just became your boy today, Novak Djokovic again,

807
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: who had a big win at the US Open. He

808
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 1: ended the US's dreams of moving forward and advancing, right,

809
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 1: Taylor Fritz, is that the guy that lost but Djokovic

810
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: made a nice speech and he did a little dance. Yeah,

811
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: and you know what, it sort of hit me right

812
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: here in the quartos on in the heart because he

813
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 1: gave his daughter a shout out. Take a listen.

814
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 13: It's twenty minutes to midnight here tewod September. It's my

815
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 13: daughter's birthday, so this is a big present for her. Actually,

816
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 13: the dance in the end, it was she's gonna rate

817
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 13: me tomorrow. How was the dance because she told me

818
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 13: how to dance. It's K pop demon Hunters. Saw the

819
00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 13: Pop is the name of the song.

820
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:02,240
Speaker 1: Obviously it's a big thing.

821
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 13: Globally for teenagers and for kids. But I didn't know

822
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 13: about it before. My daughter told me a few months

823
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 13: ago about it. So we're at home doing different choreographies

824
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 13: and this is one of them. So hopefully I'll make

825
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 13: her smile when she wakes up tomorrow morning.

826
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 1: You're Masda Pop. You're Masda Pop. I got an eight

827
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: year old daughter. I get it. I coached girl softball.

828
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: All they want to hear is K pop Demon Hunters.

829
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 1: So to me, I listen. Novak Djokovic already a champion,

830
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,360
Speaker 1: but now I look at him as a guy that

831
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: humanized himself. He's caring about doing dances with his daughter,

832
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 1: his daughter, Tara Djokovic, who's eight years old and is

833
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: a big fan of the demon Hunter thing everybody's talking about.

834
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're not living that life, that

835
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: movie has broken all streaming records for Netflix. It's the

836
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: most dream movie ever on Netflix. And it's really just

837
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: a movie about K pop animated stars that have to

838
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: fight demons. It's ridiculous, but every week in the nation,

839
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: every kid loves it. I told you my first practice

840
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: for my daughter's eight you girls softball team, and they

841
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: were like coach Rich, Coach Rich. The whole time at

842
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,399
Speaker 1: the bluetooth speaker. All they wanted to hear was on

843
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 1: repeat Demon Hunters, Demon Hunters. So when I see Novak

844
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: Djokovic made you emotional, it made me emotional. I see

845
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 1: him winning, you know, a big moment moving on in

846
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,359
Speaker 1: the US Open, and he's doing choreography that he's doing

847
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: with his daughter in the living room. It was really endearing.

848
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: A yeah, there you go. I was gonna say cute,

849
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: but that wasn't the word, and it was. It was

850
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: really endearing and nice to see. So the point here

851
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: is if you weren't a fan before, you might be

852
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:48,400
Speaker 1: now because you don't see Djokovic to tennis player. You

853
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: see Djokovic to dad. You see the person. You see

854
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: this guy just trying to make his daughter happy and

855
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: make his daughter smile, and that's a really nice thing.

856
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: And that humanizes him and makes him more relatable. And

857
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 1: that's what we're getting at now. And that's why Comino,

858
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 1: that's why I will end up rooting for a certain players.

859
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: It made me like him a lot more. Listen, dude,

860
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: and I've never seen stupid K pop demon hunter. I

861
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: live in the in the neighborhood next to his, but

862
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people you see Matthew Stafford out and

863
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: about with his daughters, and you see clips of him

864
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: and his daughters, You're like, humanize him. I think of

865
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: Drew Brees like a subtle brag. Right, there's a Stafford

866
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. If you live, if you live in

867
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: my neighborhood, you know that the Staffords are out and

868
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:42,680
Speaker 1: about all the time. Up with the Staffords. L a bro. Yeah,

869
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: you don't live in Korea Town.

870
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 2: Pound who lives down the street, who lives down the

871
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 2: street from me? The Black Ghostbuster, Ernie.

872
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 1: Ernie Hudson, Ernie Hudson. Yeah, he's in great shape. He's

873
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy five years old. You know, he's

874
00:43:59,200 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: in great shape.

875
00:43:59,719 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: That guy.

876
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: I think of Drew Brees holding his son with the

877
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: headphones when he won the Super Bowl. You know, say like,

878
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: don't say things like that on the radio, because then

879
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 1: the buss is never gonna give you a raise. Oh,

00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,439

Speaker 4: Right.

885
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: I think about how shows like Receiver, shows like Quarterback

Speaker 1: NBA starting five, these these reality shows. Why do we

00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,840

00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: have to be an athlete, it could be it's a

911
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,239
Speaker 1: simple one. I was always a fan. I'm not a

912
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: Patriots fan, but I'm a fan of greatness. So I

913
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 1: was like Tom Brady. I had a song and everything.

914
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the man. Tom Brady is the man.

915
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: But when I watched the documentary, I forget which one

916
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 1: it was. It was probably the man in the arena,

917
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: but it was when you saw his family just referring

918
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 1: to him as little Tommy all the time. They got Tommy.

919
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: They were so proud of Tommy. Yeah, Tommy and Tommy

920
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: did this, and Tommy was a good boy, and they

921
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: were so proud of Tommy and my brother tom when

922
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 1: they just referred to him as little Tommy. Yeah, and

923
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 1: you realize that he was just a goofy kid that

924
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: worked really hard and he may be a superstar in

925
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: our eyes, in our mind, but to his family, he's

926
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: just little Tommy and his dad is his hero. And

927
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: I when they humanized them in a way, it made

928
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: me like him more. You know, living out here in

929
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, I have a girlfriend, right, of course I

930
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: love her, but you know what, I love her most

931
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: when I see her with her family in Idaho and

932
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: I realized that, oh, yeah, she's it's a girl from

933
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: Idaho who loves her family. And it humanizes them. Well right.

934
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: You know why this is interesting because I said this

935
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,200
Speaker 1: just the other day to you. When you see them

936
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: in their real element as real people, not sports robots.

937
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: I was telling you just the other day. Nolan McLain

938
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: for the Mets is now four and oh, by the way, yeah,

939
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: guy's got some moves. He's got some movement. The first

940
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 1: game in the Bigs, when I saw his parents in

941
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: the stands so the Mets had another pet debut tongue

942
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: debut the other day. When you see the parents of

943
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: a kid making his major league baseball debut, there's a

944
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: famous clip of a Florida Marlin who hit his home run,

945
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: his first home run, while his parents are being interviewed.

946
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: This is a couple of years ago, and the dad's

947
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,439
Speaker 1: going nuts. It makes you feel some type of way

948
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: because you're like, it humanizes them. You're like, oh, wow,

949
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: these are his parents who watch it more relatable, You're

950
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: more invested as a result. And Rich is right Djokovic,

951
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: I know he's a tennis great, but that was his

952
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: coolest moment. That was, by far as the coolest moment.

953
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: Made me like him in a different way, all right.

954
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 1: You know what I did? I respected him as a

955
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: as a tennis name and a guy who did great

956
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: things in tennis. Now I actually like the guy because

957
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: he was doing something cute. He's fun for his kid.

958
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: He's not too cool to do a demon Hunter dance

959
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:49,880
Speaker 1: with his kids. So other humanizing moments, I did you

960
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: mention it? I was looking at the phones and everything.

961
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: Did you mention Drew Brees?

962
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

963
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: I said when his kid came out but that's a

964
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of times when you see

965
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: when you see athletes, Oh you know what, I thought

966
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: was cool? We pray too when we see them with

967
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,439
Speaker 1: their family and everything. That's always nice. Every team does this,

968
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: but you're only gonna know your own team doing this.

969
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: But the Mets have a day every year where the

970
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: kids of the players announce their dads in the lineup,

971
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: like now batting my dad. Yeah, you know, number twelve,

972
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: Francisco Lindor. And when you see the kids introducing their dad,

973
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, they're just guys with kids. Anything that

974
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: humanizes them. Like, I don't know why this came to mind,

975
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: but I remember thinking, oh, yeah, that's right. These are

976
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: real people with real feelings. You know, we should treat

977
00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: them with a different level of understanding and grace and respect.

978
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: When Wilmer Flores got traded from the Mets, remember like

979
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,280
Speaker 1: how he was just so upset. He was crying, crying

980
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 1: and everything, and yeah, get it together, Bud. But still

981
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, these people care. That's right, they

982
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: got lives and stuff, and it means a lot when

983
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 1: he humanizes them. And I always remember that, like, there's

984
00:48:58,280 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: a guy with a big heart. You and Danny g

985
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:01,799
Speaker 1: talking about hard knocks When you see a guy try

986
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 1: to make the team and you're like, wow, look at

987
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: how much this means to not only him but his

988
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: family and everyone. Oh, when you see those dudes praying

989
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 1: every day.

990
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I think it feels more

991
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,799
Speaker 2: emotional for some reason when it's two athletes together having

992
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: a moment like Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb. Oh, I

993
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 2: was walked off the field for the last time together.

994
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: Remember, I think we see the more Hamlin because of

995
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 1: what Rich was saying, Like that humanized that guy where

996
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: the whole world is rooting for him, and now you

997
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: see him on Hard Knocks and you know, you see

998
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: him praying every day, just grateful to be alive and

999
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: on the team. So humanizing moments that really left an

1000
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: impression and change your opinions or maybe enhance your opinions

1001
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 1: on athletes eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox And

1002
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: right now we're going to see if we could get

1003
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: a winner for this game. You want to say, let's

1004
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: have a trip first, We'll talk about humanizing. Give these

1005
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,280
Speaker 1: people another second to think about Mike's words of wisdom.

1006
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: What's up?

1007
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: Trip?

1008
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 10: Hey, great day as always, you know, and Rich I

1009
00:49:57,400 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 10: got one. John Cena has done work make a wishes

1010
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 10: than in double than anybody can bind. I mean, the

1011
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 10: time he gives for kids is just unbelievable. Yeah, that's

1012
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 10: why I appreciate him.

1013
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: No, no doubt. For sure. See a lot of those stories.

1014
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: It does change your opinion for sure. Can I tell

1015
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: you I note this and you might say, really, you

1016
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 1: take that close of a look. I do when they did,

1017
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: like the Little League World Series game this year. They

1018
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: do when when I see m'l be All Star Break

1019
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: when we were in Atlanta. I pay attention to what

1020
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: athletes really dive into, like signing autographs and paling around

1021
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 1: with the kids, because some people you can tell you like,

1022
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: look at this jerk, like he's sort of maybe doing

1023
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: it because he has to do. But then you see

1024
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 1: other players that realize the impact they have on kids.

1025
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: Oh dude, that's the best. And those are the players

1026
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: I end up liking more for sure. To back up

1027
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: what Tripp said, I've always been a Canelo Alvarez fan.

1028
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 1: I'm Team Canelo. Come September thirteenth, he takes on Crawford.

1029
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: I saw on ESPN how's this segment they do where

1030
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: they find like the make a Wish kid.

1031
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 2: Oh one wish, Yes, in one way wish? Is that

1032
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 2: what it's going? I don't know.

1033
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: But they found this one kid with Sisti Fibrosa's fourteen

1034
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: year old kid who just wanted to be a fighter,

1035
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: and Canello welcomed him to his camp. I bought a

1036
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,320
Speaker 1: Team Canelo hat that day, so I was like, man,

1037
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: I liked him before my wish, my wish, that's it.

1038
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: I saw my wish segment and Canelo was like Rascal Flats.

1039
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 1: He was there for the kid and hyped them up

1040
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: and like it wore my heart so much. I'm like,

1041
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 1: you know what, Yeah, he's a fighting robot, but he's

1042
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: still a dad. He still has a heart. He did

1043
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: this nice thing for a kid he humanized and made

1044
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 1: me like him even more. All Right, you know what,

1045
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: I think it's time to try to get a winner

1046
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: for Big Mike's words of wisdom, and then we'll take

1047
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: more feedback on the UH on the subject at hand,

1048
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: humanizing athletes. Ala Novak Djokovic talking about how he's doing

1049
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: dances with his daughter to K Pop demon Hunters like

1050
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: every other deal like every other little kid. I'm telling you,

1051
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: love that it's gonna be the number one Halloween costume.

1052
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna look around and all little trigger treaters are

1053
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: going to be demon hunters.

1054
00:51:59,280 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: All right?

1055
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: You want to stay with Dylan in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dylan,

1056
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:05,839
Speaker 1: do you think he got this?

1057
00:52:06,840 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 10: All right?

1058
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 14: I think I can do it. And I also think

1059
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 14: I had some humanizing moments that.

1060
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to share a perfect man. Let's let's let's hear,

1061
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: let's simmer and take it away.

1062
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 14: Okay, So Big Mike said, healing is not about ending.

1063
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: Give us, give us your humanizing hand.

1064
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 14: Okay. I appreciate that. Okay, So two moments. One is

1065
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 14: I remember when Kobe Bryant would be on the sidelines

1066
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 14: with Gianna and you would like this. You would see

1067
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 14: this person who was just a killer throughout his career

1068
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 14: like laughing and having fun. And I think the reason

1069
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 14: that there was such a tragedy that he died with

1070
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 14: her is that we were kind of seeing this person

1071
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 14: who is this dominating athlete who was a stone cold

1072
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 14: killer turned into this like loving, warm hearted person.

1073
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1074
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 14: And also also you know, because if they were going

1075
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 14: to open up, she was going to be a great

1076
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 14: you know, w NBA star. The w n B a

1077
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 14: is great at humanizing the stud Buds from Minnesota had

1078
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 14: that live stream during All Star weekend and so the

1079
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,800

1080
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,080

1081
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: a really great example.

1082
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 2: The Olympic, Bryan, we'd make fun of it, but the

1083
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,040
Speaker 2: Olympics always have their packages where they humanize all the

1084
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 2: athletes and make us chair for them.

1085

Speaker 15: Feeling is more about accepting pains and learning to coexist

1108
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 15: with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which

1109
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 15: is impossible.

1110
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: About Lisa, way to go big, Mike.

1111

Speaker 9: No one said you couldn't do that. That's not so

Speaker 9: that was a rule. Congratulations Lisa, Thanks Lisa.

1117
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 1: And two quickies. We're talking about humanizing a lah Novak

1118
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 1: Djokovic dancing to K pop? What do you got, Reno? Trevor,

1119
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: what's up.

1120
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 8: Hey, guys? So yeah, I think some of these probably

1121
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 8: revolve around fatherhood. So the first one that I thought

1122
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,879
Speaker 8: about when he said Kobe was Tiger when he won

1123
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 8: his last Masters and just seeing Charlie there and the

1124
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:27,279
Speaker 8: dude's a robot for so long and just like to

1125
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 8: actually see him have feelings was pretty cool. But the

1126
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 8: one that still just kind of chokes me up whenever

1127
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 8: I watch it. And I know what's happening. Was in

1128
00:55:34,320 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 8: like the Olympian that got hurt and his dad goes

1129
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 8: out and runs with him and he's like hitting the

1130
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 8: judges off, being like no, I'm going to finish it

1131
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 8: with my kids like that.

1132
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:46,439
Speaker 1: Oh that's hard for h You ain't kidding, all right, Heidi?

1133
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 1: Last one a Florida the way you got to give

1134
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,879
Speaker 1: spot at least five minutes. What's up, Heidi?

1135
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 12: Hey?

1136
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 4: I thought it was quite endearing when Jannis filmed himself

1137
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 4: going through the Chick fil A drive through ordering fifty

1138
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 4: not forty nine, not fifty one, fifty chicken mini and

1139
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 4: I think he had a trophy in the backseat, but

1140
00:56:08,640 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 4: he didn't film that, and he was taking the Chicken

1141
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 4: minis back to his party.

1142
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,799
Speaker 1: Oh that's cool. Yeah, these are the moments where you're like, oh,

1143
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: you know, especially if you're on the fence, if you're

1144
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,480
Speaker 1: on the fence or you really just don't know, Yeah,

1145
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: that'll win you over. So props to Djokovic on his win,

1146
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: and even more so for being a cool dad and winning.

1147
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: It's sober and when to hit those dances on the

00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 7: and we talked about I'll actually have our recent episode

1162
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 7: of our both of this podcast over promised how the

1163
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 7: cost of watching an entire NFL season could be well

1164
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,080
Speaker 7: over one thousand dollars. And there's no secret that thrifty

1165
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 7: fans turned to illegal streaming sites. Yeah Somebodey Well, one

1166
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 7: of the biggest sites stream East, which drew a combined

1167
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 7: one point six billion visits over the last year, has

1168
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 7: been shut down at last week. So the website known

1169
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 7: for providing free streams of top leagues like the NFL

1170
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:44,320
Speaker 7: and BA MLB Premier League and more. Site was taken

1171
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 7: down by a joint effort between the Alliance for Creativity

1172
00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 7: and Entertainment, which is comprised of entity's, Amazon and Apple,

1173
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 7: and some law enforcement officials in Egypt. Apparently part of

1174
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 7: the sting. They also see some cash and credit cards

1175
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 7: and a shell company that was laundering honey. Maybe they

1176
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 7: were hooking up Kawhi. Who knows, anyway, midweek or major.

1177
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 7: This is major. One point six billion people used it.

1178
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: Damn. How am I going to watch my pay per

1179
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 1: view fights now?

1180
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 8: I mean.

1181
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: No, I think it's wrong and we shouldn't be doing this.

1182
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: Some people do, but people do, and it's about time

1183
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: they figured out a way to shut it down. Shut

1184
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: it down now. Yeah, you're leaving a lot of money

1185
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: on the table by allowing this. So you're a better

1186
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: guy than me. I think this is major. You're a

1187
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: better guy than me if you could honestly say you've

1188
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: never used ever in your life an illegal link your

1189
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,400
Speaker 1: buddy sent you, like, Hey, the fight's about to start.

1190
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: Here's a link that shut down. Then that's stream east

1191
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: on again. I know people have used that one for

1192
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: a year, so it's a big deal. We should be

1193
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: buying the fights. But I get it. I will say this, Rich,

1194
00:58:47,840 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: I never I never harassed my own daughter just because

1195
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 1: like that woman in that Unknown Number documentary. Yeah, but

1196
00:58:56,560 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: I have streamed something illegally. Okay, Yeah I have. Yeah,

1197
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,440
Speaker 1: so you're still good guy. Yeah so I'm better than

1198
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:02,880
Speaker 1: that woman.

1199
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 2: All right.

1200
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 7: We now have all the details on the infamous proposal

1201
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 7: between Travis Kelcey and pop superstar Taylor Swift. Of course,

1202
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 7: on the latest episode of New Heights, Kelsey talked about

1203
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 7: how he's quote giddy about the proposal and how he

1204
00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 7: gets to share the rest of his life with he's

1205
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,479
Speaker 7: been telling everybody. He also talked about how he planned

1206
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 7: to originally do it on water and one of his

1207
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 7: producers said that he did that and it ruined the experience.

1208
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 7: He revealed what we sort of already knew that his

1209
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 7: team was preparing the proposal set up in the backyard

1210
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 7: while they were recording the podcast with Taylor Swift a

1211
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 7: few weeks back. He also talked about how he had

1212
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 7: their first public appearance at Arrowhead where they attended that

1213
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 7: college game. Yeah, how he's first introducing Taylor as his

1214
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 7: fiancee to all his teammates, so he's really excited about that.

1215
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 1: Midweek or major. Well, that's a weird feeling. This is major.

1216
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: Anything Kelsey Swift related as major. I saw that Roger

1217
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: Goodell gave her the open invite. Yeah, all right, it's

1218
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,920
Speaker 1: coming up. I guess it's coming up. But yeah, anything

1219
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: involving them major news. And it ties into what we

1220
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,080
Speaker 1: were just talking about. I think seeing him as a

1221
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:07,000
Speaker 1: love bird this humanized them and made him more likable

1222
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:10,480
Speaker 1: to so many more people agreed. It ties into our

1223
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: last conversation. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelcey have humanized each other.

1224
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 1: I think it's big news. And I know spot you

1225
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: said you're going to lead into, yes, the Roger Goodell story,

1226
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: so you might as well take it away because that's

1227
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: what it ties in. I'll take it away. Yeah.

1228
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 7: And NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared on Today Earlier Today,

1229
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 7: Earlier this morning and was asked if Swifties would get

1230
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,280
Speaker 7: the ultimate treat for as they planned the Super Bowl

1231
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 7: halftime show this year, and Goodell responded by saying, quote,

1232
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 7: we would always love to have Taylor play. She has

1233
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 7: a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome

1234
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 7: at any time. While he didn't give up any details.

1235
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 7: He said that it is quote maybe a possibility. And

1236
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 7: we've talked about people have been you know, all the Swifties,

1237
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 7: how they love to analyze all these easter eggs. When

1238
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 7: she appeared on the New Heights podcast, she was talking

1239
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 7: about sour Dough and dropping certain numbers that alluded to

1240
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 7: her doing the halftime show in Sanford Go Sour do

1241
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 7: Sam being the mascot there, so potentially could be this

1242
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 7: year's super halftime show. Super major, major major and.

1243
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: For many reasons, Taylor Shrift major maker performing halftime that

1244
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 1: would be huge. Ratings Gold Baby Gold rating ratings. I

1245
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: tell you, it would break all sorts of records. And

1246
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: it also shows you that maybe Goodell has final say

1247
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 1: it's not jay Z jay Z had Omarion on standby

1248
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: or something ridiculous. Imagine if he pulls Taylor Swift, that'd

1249
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: be awesome. So, I mean, I'm not a Swifty, but

1250
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,919
Speaker 1: it's it would be huge. This is I think mid

1251
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 1: because it's what we already know. That's something meaning like

1252
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: if Taylor Shrift wants to do it, she will do it,

1253
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: and Roger Goodell would probably get down on his hands

1254
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 1: and knees and be like, please what's today's date? Give

1255
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 1: me the date, nine to three September third. I knew that,

1256
01:01:54,760 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 1: but I was just asking you because last year it

1257
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 1: was on September eighth when we found out it was

1258
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar. So it's consistently early September. We should be

1259
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 1: finding out within the week or so. If it's Tailor,

1260
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: if it's Metallica, if it's Mighty Cyrus, whoever the heck

1261
01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be, we should probably find out within

1262
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 1: a week. Nice, nice, well more spottier one, I guess.

1263
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 4: So.

1264
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 7: Tom Brady making some appearances on podcasts if you want

1265
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 7: to hear about his thoughts about the NFL Generation of

1266
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 7: today or his thoughts about broadcasting this.

1267
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 1: Season Generation today.

1268
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 8: All right.

1269
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: He was on Kevin Hart's podcast Cold is Y.

1270
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 10: Yeah.

1271
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could say where.

1272
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 7: He sits in a cold bludge with athletes and celebrities.

1273
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 7: So he asked Brady about how he feels the game

1274
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 7: is changing. Brady responded saying there are more challenges for

1275
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 7: this generation of qbs in some way, but the guys

1276
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 7: who take advantage of it, there are more opportunities for them.

1277
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 7: Went on to say that everybody is coddled a little

1278
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 7: bit more. And what he meant by that is he said,

1279
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 7: rather than saying, hey, you better come and get the

1280
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 7: work done, you have to say you should probably do this.

1281
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 7: So he's saying that this generation just needs to be

1282
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 7: led a little bit more rather than having that work ethic.

1283
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 7: But he did go on to say that of the

1284
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 7: quarterbacks of today, Mahomes has a really great work ethic.

1285
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 7: He said that he is a desire every time he

1286
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 7: takes the field to be a great leader and everything

1287
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 7: he does is right. So a nice compliment to Mahomes

1288
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 7: from Brady Midweek or major, hard work never goes out

1289
01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 7: of style.

1290
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 1: This is major. People should take notes and taken all

1291
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: sorts of advice from Tom Brady. He's a guy who's

1292
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 1: lived it and proved it that hard work pays off.

1293
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why younger people get so upset

1294
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: by this. Remember the Kim Kardashian controversy where she was

1295
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: like you need what did she say you remember something?

1296
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,200
Speaker 1: You gotta get up and work, Get up here, get

1297
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 1: off your ass, And everybody was so up in arms

1298
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: and upset by that. It's like, where's that, where's the insult?

1299
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 2: There?

1300
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 1: How about take that as good advice? Well, I have

1301
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 1: this don't happen by themselves, you know, I think Tom

1302
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 1: Brady is a great teacher of hard work. Can you

1303
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: don't have relatable? That made me to a whole like

1304
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,840
Speaker 1: slew of people, to fifty percent of the population that

1305
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: someone else was talking about the things that they all

1306
01:04:05,360 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: had went through, and it made me more human. Here

1307
01:04:07,800 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 1: I am this arrogant guy that people want to punch

1308
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 1: in the face, and then I come in like, yeah,

1309
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:15,280
Speaker 1: my relationship's over in a weird way. That humanized me

1310
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: to a lot of people, made me more relatable. And

1311
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: again that's just a silver lining to stuff like that.

1312
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: It's not always it's not always just like you as

1313
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 1: a dad. It could be anything, you know. I think

1314
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 1: another humanizing moment is when you see athletes get the

1315
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: call up to the big league. Do you ever see

1316
01:04:30,360 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 1: those videos where they get called out, they get called

1317
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 1: into the manager's office and they're like, hey tomorrow, you

1318
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: think you could pitch tomorrow? How about for the big leagues?

1319
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,439
Speaker 1: And then they call their parents and stufft just makes

1320
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:43,880
Speaker 1: you more relatable And what are those moments for you?

1321
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: Running out of time so you could share at Covino

1322
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 1: and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, and again before it

1323
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:55,280

1327
