4
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, this is so much fun and we

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 3: have a lot to break.

6
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 2: Down and hey, guess what Tonight is the last night

7
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: that the sun is going to set before six o'clock

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: here in La.

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: We made it. We made it to I just kind

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 3: of marked this as like the beginning the summer ramp up, right,

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 3: also just called spring.

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: This is the best part of the year. I mean,

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: the NBA is starting to heat up. Free agency begins

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 2: next week. This is the prime March Madness.

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 3: Madness is honestly one of my favorite sporting events on

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 3: the calendar.

17
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: There is no tournament event greater, no than March Madness,

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: especially that first week where you pay us part of

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: the generation where you would roll in the teacher would

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: roll in the cart with the TV on it during

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: school so that you could watch the game's midday.

22
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 3: Okay, we didn't have that dedicated of a sporting fan base,

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: really no, because I think I think I grew up

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: in Santa Barbara, right and college basketball. I don't know

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: if it was that like pervasive of a sport. That was,

26
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: you know, seeping into high school fandom. Right, But what

27
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 3: about you? Is that? What is that what you grew

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: up with?

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 4: Totally?

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 2: I had a calistry teacher that was a die hard

31
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: Duke fan. So in the months of March, put away

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: the Benson beemerge.

33
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 3: You remember those things?

34
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Yes, put away those and roll out the cart with

35
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: the TV on it iconic.

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: What was this chemistry teacher's name?

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 4: Oh god, now you're like, I know exactly what it looks.

38
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: Like, shout out, mister Smith. No, it was something.

39
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I can't remember. Okay, well I don't

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: remember any of my teacher's names.

41
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

42
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: Anyway, so much happened in the NFL this week, Blockbuster

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: Trade last night. Look, I was on the beach enjoying

44
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 2: a night sunset.

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: We can get that.

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry not to rub it in. I know the

47
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: East Coast is dealing with snow. Enjoying a nice dinner,

48
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: and my phone starts blowing up. I'm like, oh my god,

49
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: so many people are trying to get a hold of me,

50
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: wondering what my Friday night plans are. No Max Crosby

51
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: to the Ravens, the Raiders get the Ravens' first round

52
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: draft pick from this year twenty twenty six, So now

53
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: they have the first and the fourteenth pick in April's

54
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 2: draft plus their twenty twenty seven first round, two first rounders.

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 2: Incredible trade. Officially can't go through until next week. NFL

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: free agency starts officially Wednesday at four o'clock Eastern, but

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: you can start the negotiating and agreeing to terms Monday.

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 4: At twelve o'clock Eastern.

59
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: This is wild, especially coming from a Ravens team that

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: has never in their history thirty one years have they

61
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: ever used a first round pick to trade for a

62
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 2: veteran guy.

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 4: And they just used to they will from this year

64
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 4: and next year.

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, But I mean, like when you think

66
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: about that in the context of the franchise history, right

67
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: and every how they've operated. But I mean, for first thing,

68
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 3: when I got the notification, happy for Max totally. And

69
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 3: you talk about an athlete who is renowned for his

70
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 3: competitive spirit, his leadership, the way he approaches the game,

71
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: and to just be kind of mired in whatever the

72
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 3: Raiders muck has been six regime changes right in Oakland

73
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: for him, and now he's going to what feels to

74
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: be much more stability and champ you know, Super Bowl aspirations.

75
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is huge for Jesse Minter, who is the

76
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: new head coach for the Baltimore Ravens. Ravens had just

77
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: thirty sacks last season, the fewest amount that they've had

78
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: in fifteen years. Look, this is a Ravens team that

79
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: has struggled on defense since Mike McDonald left, their former

80
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, of course, went to Seattle to become their

81
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: head coach. And Lamar Jackson he is such a talented quarterback,

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: but they have not been able to get to the

83
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl with Lamar Jackson. And we saw it firsthand

84
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: this season that you don't need to be a perfect,

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 2: very defensive team who is going to win championships.

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: They've said it for centuries.

87
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: Defense wins championships, yes.

88
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 2: And so now the Ravens not only have a complete

89
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: game wrecker on the field, they also have a locker

90
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: room guy in Max Crosby, who I've gotten to know

91
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: him well from covering their training camps and their games.

92
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 4: He is a player that people love. He is a player.

93
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,799
Speaker 2: Young guys are going to gravitate towards. He's a player

94
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: that Jesse Minter is going to be able to say, hey,

95
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: get this team in line in the locker room. Not

96
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: only is he incredibly successful five time pro bowler sixty

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: nine and a half sacks over the last seven seasons,

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: but now he is a guy that you can just

99
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 2: have confidence and he can help as this first year

100
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: head coach begins to take over in Baltimore.

101
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: Right, And it's very interesting. I mean you look at

102
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: the alignment now and the identity of the Ravens, and

103
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 3: you've got Mintor a defensive mind. You've got Max Crosby

104
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 3: a defensive leader, right, And I mean obviously you surround

105
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson with elite talent, whether it's coaching or on

106
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: the defensive side of the ball, and you got to

107
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: wonder how this can affect the AFC landscape totally the

108
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: Ravens too.

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: This is just so strange to me, and we have

110
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: to bring up to the Cowboys were deep in talks,

111
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: according to our NFL network insiders, and Adam Schefter of

112
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 2: ESPN reported as well. The Cowboys had offered a first

113
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: round pick and a second round pick, and of course

114
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: the Raiders decided we're going with the two first round picks.

115
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: But this is so shocking because the Ravens are very

116
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: much used to drafting and developing, right, Okay, that has

117
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 2: been their bread and butter. But now they see this

118
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 2: and you look at the AFC North. You have the

119
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: Browns that I mean, what are they doing? They're having

120
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 2: a three way competition at quarterback between Dylan Gabriel, Shador Sanders,

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 2: and Deshaun Watson.

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 4: What's happening? Yes, Then you have.

123
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: The Steelers who have a new head coach as well,

124
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. I wouldn't say, you know, it's not like

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: this is his first go around. He's a very successful,

126
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: will be a Hall of Fame coach. But what's happening

127
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 2: at quarterback is Aaron Rodgers gonna let them know.

128
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 3: I don't know Aaron right.

129
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: Then you have the Bengals, who Joe Burrow is great,

130
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: but they it just seems like something always happens with

131
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 2: the Bengals. Yep, Okay, they haven't lived up to their

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 2: expectations since they played the Rams in the Super Bowl

133
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one season. So for Lamar Jackson in this

134
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: Ravens team, the time is now. The time is now

135
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: to win the AFC North, they missed the playoffs last year,

136
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: they get rid of John Harbough. Things needed to change

137
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: and this is a huge, huge splash smooth for Eric DaCosta,

138
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: their general manager, and Jesse Minter. And I'm just so

139
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: excited to say Max Crosby finally have an opportunity to

140
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: show what he can do. I mean so much. The

141
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: reason why we got here is because the Raiders kind

142
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 2: of shut him down and he wanted to play through

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: the injury at the end of last season and he

144
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 2: really didn't like the way that they handled that.

145
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: Well, and can you blame him? And also, I mean,

146
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 3: for the maniac of an athlete, a caliber of competitor

147
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: like Max Crosby, he deserves to be put in a

148
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 3: position where he can impact winning football. And this is

149
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: now the opportunity. And I think this is a name

150
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: you hear around league circles and everyone is what has

151
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: been rooting to see him in a position where he

152
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 3: can be playing, you know, beyond the regular season, and

153
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 3: I'm so excited to see what he does in Baltimore.

154
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: Was just the latest news that happened this week, but

155
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: so much, so much had happened. Trent McDuffie expected to

156
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: go to the Rams. Of course, again, all of this

157
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 2: has happened, but not official until next week. With the

158
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: new league year, Trent McDuffie expected to go to the Rams.

159
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: Huge huge need.

160
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: For the Rams.

161
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean, their lack of talent at the cornerback position

162
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: was a parent That's why they lost the Seahawks. They

163
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: need help at defense. Matthew Stafford's window is I mean,

164
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: who knows if this is his last season, it's definitely

165
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: I would say.

166
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: No, the Rams are all in now is the moment

167
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 3: for the Rams tonally? You know, I wanted to ask

168
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: you though, what this signifies for Kansas City, Like, are

169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 3: they doing a shadow rebuild right now?

170
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 4: Well, think about it.

171
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City also has two first round draft picks now

172
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: because they got the Rams first round draft pick and

173
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: they have their own first round draft pick.

174
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes is dealing with an injury.

175
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey still has not said what he is going

176
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: to do, so they to me Kansas City because of

177
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: the injury that Patrick is dealing with, and we've seen

178
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 2: people come back from injuries very quickly. He's going I

179
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: will be shocked if he comes back, you know, week

180
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: one that right, no, no, isn't going to happen. So

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 2: they are ready when you look at what their season is.

182
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: I don't want to call this a down year because

183
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 2: who knows what can happen, but this is an opportunity

184
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: where they can reset and really figure out the future

185
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: and not They're not a team where let's throw all

186
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 2: our eggs into the basket because we need to win now.

187
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 3: And and we have watched Kansas City retool their defense

188
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: about every five years under spags and it's like like they,

189
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: you know, just little moves like this and hit the

190
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 3: you know, kind of not a full reset, but reload

191
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 3: at different positions as you can, and like you said,

192
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: without the urgency of needing to be in a win

193
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: now mode.

194
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: Some other news, DJ Moore to the Bills. This is

195
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 2: awesome for Josh Allen. Joe Brady and DJ Moore were

196
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 2: together in Carolina. There's just such an interesting pathway between

197
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers players going to Buffalo Bills. I need to

198
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 2: get the final number because there's so many connections. It's

199
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: like when I used to cover the Carolina Panthers, they

200
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: would call the Bills Carolina of the North. Oh yeah,

201
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 2: because there was so much overlap of players and coaches

202
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: going to the Bills. This makes me excited for Josh

203
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 2: Allen seeing him lose to the Broncos.

204
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 4: I was at that game heartbreaking.

205
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 3: Right.

206
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: He's another guy that you can't not root for exactly.

207
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: You want good things.

208
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 3: Load him up, give him some weapons. And we were

209
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: talking about this before we started, you know, before the

210
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: show started that Dj Moore just his fit didn't necessarily

211
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: align with Chicago's timeline, right, and his like he makes

212
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: more sense in Buffalo.

213
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: Well, Chicago had gotten you know, Colston Lovelin, a couple

214
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: other first round wide receivers, and DJ Moore's contract didn't

215
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: really make sense for them at this moment. They didn't

216
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: need him the way that Buffalo needs him. I think

217
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: it's great for Buffalo and Joe Brady in his first

218
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: season with the Bills to go out and get some

219
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: help for Josh Allen. And they'll continue to do that

220
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 2: hopefully here throughout the draft and when free agency begins.

221
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: Some other things before we move on that, I want

222
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: to get to. Steffon Diggs and Kyler Murray both released

223
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: very interesting Steffon Diggs, it felt like he had found

224
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 2: a home with New England. I remember that postgame interview

225
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: in Denver after they had won the AFC Championship, and

226
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 2: he just talked about coming back from injury and how

227
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: a lot of people counted him out and he felt

228
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: so confident and comfortable in New England and so a

229
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 2: little shocking. I don't think to everyone, I understand with

230
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: everything that's going on, but it just felt like maybe

231
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: they would.

232
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 3: It was about make it work right. And then and

233
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 3: then the other name you mentioned, Kyler Murray. Now we

234
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 3: have another, you know, top five drafted quarterback who's going

235
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 3: to be playing on a VET minimum contract at his

236
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: next spot. Would you say he is the gem of

237
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 3: now this free agent class of qbs interesting and jem

238
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: might be a strong word, but I mean, do you

239
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 3: think that's the one. I don't know. I don't know

240
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 3: Minnesota take a flyer on him. Maybe.

241
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: I think the thing is he's not going to be playing.

242
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: You know, it's not that he's not going to be

243
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 2: getting paid. Arizona is going to pay him all that money.

244
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: So for him, he kind of works out and for

245
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: whatever team picks him out, it's kind of like a

246
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: win win. It is very low risk Minnesota could be

247
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: interesting if they want to get him in there for

248
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: competition with JJ McCarthy, the other quarterback. And I know

249
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: we'll talk about this later in the show. Malik Willis,

250
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: I think has a lot of upside. He went in

251
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: for Jordan Love this past season and did well. Yeah,

252
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: but yeah, it just felt like Kyler Murray in Arizona's

253
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: time had come to an end, and I think this

254
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: marriage of this makes sense for both parties involved.

255
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see him have.

256
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: Another opportunity unity though, because I mean, as we saw

257
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 2: it with Sam Darnold, sometimes the fit and the coaching

258
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: staff and the environment just gets to your head and

259
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: it's not what you need. And I'm not comparing them,

260
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: you know, talent wise or anything like that, but it

261
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: will be interesting.

262
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 3: Culture can can create champions and so yeah, I mean,

263
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: Sam Darnald has proven that the right system, the right surroundings,

264
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: and the right talent at different levels of the field

265
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 3: can actually, you know, propel you where nobody thought you'd

266
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 3: be able to go to begin with.

267
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 2: There's going to be a lot of interesting things happening

268
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 2: over the next couple of days. I mean, Kenneth Walker

269
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: to the MVP of the Super Bowl. The Seattle running back.

270
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: The fact that he is a free agent is very interesting.

271
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: If I'm Seattle, You've got to find a way to

272
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 2: sign him.

273
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: What's going on with AJ Brown? What's going to happen Philadelphia?

274
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: Khalil Mack? Yeah, I mean he is another name. It'd

275
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: be really interesting to see him back in Chicago. They

276
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: need help at the pass rush position. Trey Hendrickson, he's

277
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: done in Cincinnati. There's so much that could happen. This

278
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: is like the best time of the year because everything

279
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 2: it's like a domino effect. I think a lot of

280
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 2: teams were waiting for the Max Crosby trade to happen.

281
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 2: Now that that's fallen, people can start from They're gonna

282
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: turn directions.

283
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 4: So much happening.

284
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 2: Also the NBA, I mean, they got a star back,

285

Speaker 3: as the NBA rams up towards the postseason, we get

317
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 3: a little gem like Jason Tatum returning ten months after

318
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 3: tearing his achilles to competitive basketball.

319
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: Okay, before we get into that, something just popped into

320
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: my mind that I want to ask you. Is this

321
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 2: the best time to be a sports fan? Or is

322
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: it in the fall when baseball comes back, or like

323
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: baseball postseason?

324
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 3: Okay, it is very interesting because I have come to

325
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: love October for sports, and it largely has to do

326
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: with October Baseball, the start of the football, start of

327
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: the NBA. Yeah, I do love October. But then when

328
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: I think of the joy I get watching screens filled

329
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: with March madness upsets, and then knowing we're ten days

330
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: away from the NBA playoffs and we've got opening day,

331
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 3: it is a very like interesting you know, six months, Yeah,

332
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 3: you know, separated like equinox time. Right, So I don't

333
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 3: know what do you prefer?

334
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 4: October? For sure? I'm a fall girl. My birthday is

335
00:16:59,680 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 4: in the far.

336
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 3: I love a scorpio too.

337
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: I'm a scorpio.

338
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 3: I'm a scorpio.

339
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

340
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: November Yeah, yeah, me too. November what twentieth, I'm the seventh.

341
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, okay, we're unpacking, we are.

342
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 2: I love the smell of the autumn air and the

343
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 2: sound of a tailgate in a parking lot, going to

344
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: a night of to me game, and then waking up

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 2: feeling a little tired.

346
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 4: From that crazy night, that crazy.

347
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: The PAC twelve after dark, whatever it was, and watching

348
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 3: the NFL on your couch.

349
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I preferably like to be watching the NFL

350
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: from the sideline, but second best is watching it from

351
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 2: your couch after recovering from an incredible college football Saturday.

352
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 3: You know what, I really respect that. It's interesting because

353
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 3: career aside, I present as a summer girl.

354
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 4: But interesting I do.

355
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 3: I do love walking into Dodger Stadium as the sun

356
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 3: is setting, and in here in LA when it's still

357
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 3: eighty degrees and the air you can feel that pulse

358
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: of electricity.

359
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: Something about the smell right right exactly. Yeah, I'm a

360
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 2: fall girl. I'm with you in summer, but I like

361
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: to have a sweatshirt.

362
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, anyways, anyways.

363
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 4: The Celtics got their starback last night.

364
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum returned from a torn achilles making his debut

365
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: last night just ten months less than ten incredible after

366
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: suffering that injury last year in the playoffs against the Knicks.

367
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: He played twenty seven minutes against the MAVs. The Celtics

368
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,439
Speaker 2: won one twenty to one hundred. He nearly had a

369
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: triple double in his return fifteen points, twelve boards, seven assists.

370
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: Did you see this coming?

371
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,199
Speaker 3: Right? I? Okay. I think we had been getting the

372
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 3: inclinations around the league that he was going to be returning,

373
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: and it felt like the date kept getting moved up.

374
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 3: You know, it started maybe April and now it's early March.

375
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: And so this anticipated return, especially when you look at

376
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 3: the Celtics, We're the number two team in the Eastern

377
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 3: Conference right now and what they've been able to do

378
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 3: with out their star, and then to know that Tatum

379
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: wanted to come back and play meaningful basketball, and if

380
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 3: this is a team that now can have a legitimate

381
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 3: run at an NBA championship, he's got to get that

382
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: ramp up going. And he looked uncomfortable to begin with

383
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: last night, and you can't blame him, right, he said

384
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: he felt a little bit of anxiety around it, and

385
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: the game did seem very quick. But I think, you know,

386
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 3: twenty seven minutes in that return, things started to come

387
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 3: a little clunky. But this is this is bad news

388
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 3: for the rest of the East and perhaps the league.

389
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: With what the Celtics can put together here.

390
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 2: I'm just so impressed with these athletes, and we saw

391
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers do it too, how quickly they can come

392
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 2: back from these serious injuries and achilles sterrets typically like

393
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 2: at least a year. So for him to come back,

394
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he, like you said, he said he wanted

395
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 2: to play meaningful basketball. He had surgery the morning after

396
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: he tore his achilities. He was determined to get back

397
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: this season. It's interesting because I don't think a lot

398
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: of people expected the Celtics to be I didn't as

399
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 2: good as they've been this season without their star. Now

400
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: this brings in another point in a conversation and question

401
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: I have for you, the Jalen Brown of it all.

402
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: I mean, this guy is potentially in conversation for MVP.

403
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: Now.

404
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: Jason Tatum is the star of the Celtics, Okay, but

405
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown has been the star with Jason Tatum sidelined. Now,

406
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: how do they adjust. Jalen Brown had twenty four points

407
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: last night, so still making an impact with Jason Tatum

408
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: and he's going to have to, you know, still carry

409
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: a lot of the weight as Jason gets back into

410
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: basketball shape and that ramp up period. But how do

411
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: they kind of EUSt right, yeah, and like share that

412
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 2: star power.

413
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: So here's the thing I think it in our discourse

414
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: with sports media headlines, et cetera, it's so natural to

415
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 3: do the cheap whose team is it? Whose team is

416
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 3: it going to be? That would be a really easy

417
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 3: default to address this situation with if these two hadn't

418
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 3: won an NBA title together already. The reality is is

419
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 3: that Jalen has been carrying. As Tatum returns to his

420
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 3: form and hopefully the player and the superstar he is,

421
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 3: He's going to make life easier for everyone on this team,

422
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 3: including Jalen. And Jalen's not going to be getting as

423
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 3: much defensive attention, and yes, maybe his you know, shot

424
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: volume won't look the same, but his ability to work

425
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: within the offense is going to be freed up because

426
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: now a lot of that attention, sorry to opposing defenses,

427
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: is going to have to be directed to Tatum.

428
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting how they learn to adjust

429
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: together now that Jason Tatum is back on the court.

430
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 2: The Celtics second in the East four and a half

431
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: games behind the Pistons. Celtics have nineteen games left. When

432
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 2: you look at the East, you got the Knicks, the Calves,

433
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 2: the Raptors. They're all battling for position as well.

434
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 3: I'm sorry you didn't mention we got we gotta talk

435
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: about Charlotte Hornets.

436
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm gonna let talk about them.

437
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: I've chard Charlotte Sports for many years and I have learned,

438
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 2: and I apologize to anybody in North Carolina listening. I

439
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 2: have learned that fugi no North Carolina Sports will trick you.

440
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 2: They will get you to think that it's their moment.

441
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 2: It's they're telling you the catfish. Totally, okay, absolutely hundred percent.

442
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna let you talk. Okay, let me let

443
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 3: me just give you some numbers about these Charlotte Hornets. Okay, God, Hornets.

444
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 3: We're eleven and twenty two until the turn of the year.

445
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: Since January first, the Hornets have been on a twenty

446
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: one to nine run. They have the number one offense

447
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 3: in that time, their number five in total defense, number

448
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 3: one net rating. This is very comparable, but actually better

449
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 3: than what the Indiana Pacers pulled last year. At the

450
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 3: turn of the year, the Hornets are fun. They're they

451
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 3: don't give a frick like they are young. They're entertaining

452
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 3: as all get out. I I might be buying Charlotte

453
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: stock I know, I know you've been bying.

454
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 2: I am just not you're not buying it. They're tenth

455
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:39,959
Speaker 2: in the East. They I mean, I don't even think

456
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 2: they're gonna make the playoffs.

457
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 7: I'm happy.

458
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,760

00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,640

498
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 8: TV during the opening round of March Madness. Indeed, where

499
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 8: was that teacher when the rest of us were in school?

500
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 2: Back to you, guys, I'm still trying to wrap my

501
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: head around what.

502
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 3: His name was at well, chemistry, really, I was a

503
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: chemistry girl. You I bet you were. I have a

504
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: math and science type brain.

505
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, what about you?

506
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, I'm all about the arts and

507
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 3: the languages, but no, chemistry was difficult for me. And

508
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: I am so glad that I don't have to apply

509
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 3: any of that knowledge to what we do on a

510
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 3: day to day basis here in the lovely land of

511
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 3: speaking sports. But you know what, I might have done

512
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 3: better at chemistry if I had a teacher who wheeled

513
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: in a TV and put on March Madness games.

514
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: Totally, because I think maybe statistics too, Oh not me.

515
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 9: No.

516
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: If you're watching the games and it's like, what's the

517
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: probability that Duke goes on to win? They're down by five,

518
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: there's four minutes to go, they still have three time outs.

519
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 4: What's the probability, Nikki, that they win this thing?

520
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: No, I want to talk about. I want to talk

521
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 3: about the mascot and the fan who has been going

522
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: to every home game since nineteen sixty five. That's what

523
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 3: I want to talk about. Okay, probability, the numbers, the

524
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 3: numbers are aren't numbering for me.

525
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 4: That's why we need multiple different tis exactly.

526
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 3: People together we create one. We are one.

527
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: It's a great balance of power real quick.

528
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 2: I want to get back to the NFL because we

529
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: didn't really get to talk about the teams with the

530
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: biggest need. Do you have a team that you feel

531
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: like really needs to make a splash here in free agency?

532
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 3: Ooh okay. When I think when I look at the

533
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 3: landscape and what can be addressed, I'm looking at the

534
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 3: teams that were so close. I mean you mentioned the

535
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: Rams bringing in, you know, addressing their need at corner,

536
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: which I thought was seeing them up close and personal

537
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 3: was great. I do think the Chargers, by default of

538
00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 3: just bringing in Mike m McDaniel as an offensive coordinator,

539
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: I think that is like a need that can hopefully

540
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 3: create more opportunities. Oh. I think the Chargers offensive line

541
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: depth could could be bolstered a little bit. What about you?

542
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 3: What have you seen? Yeah?

543
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 4: I had the Chargers as my team that needs to

544
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 4: make a splash.

545
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: They have the number one they're the number one team

546
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL with the in terms of how much

547
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: cap space they have, they have ninety nine million dollars

548
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: of cap space.

549
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 4: To me, that says, go out there.

550
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 3: And buy money.

551
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 2: You have an offensive line that has complete turnover on

552
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 2: the interior. Your center, your center retired, Your two guards

553
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: are free agents. One of them you released, the other

554
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: one is a free agent. So you have to completely

555
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: change your dynamic of offensive line, especially to protect Justin Herbert.

556
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 3: In and it was so ugly last year at AFC.

557
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: Wes that is wide open. Bo Nix is coming back

558
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:03,239
Speaker 2: from injury. You have Patrick Mhastriholmes dealing with injury. Then

559
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: you have the Raiders a complete turn oil. To me,

560
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 2: the Chargers need to look at this and say this

561
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 2: is our year. It's now or never. Let's go spend

562
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: the cash. More NFL news coming up. And we have

563
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,920

00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 2: Phoebe Scheckter, an NFL analyst, former Bills coach Buffalo Bills.

567
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 4: That is I'm.

568
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 2: Sorry, NFL Global Flag Ambassador, Phoebe, thank you so much

569
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 2: for joining us. I want to start with the Bills.

570
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 2: Josh Allen got a good friend DJ Moore this week.

571
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: I know you spent a lot of time around that

572
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: Buffalo team. How do you think DJ Moore is going

573
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: to fit into what they do there in Buffalo?

574
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 9: Well, thank you so much for having me, and honestly,

575
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 9: it seems like a perfect fit. I mean one of

576
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 9: the things that we've been talking about for years is

577
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 9: that Josh Allen needs somebody to throw the ball to

578
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 9: and having that number one receiver, and they try to

579
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 9: try with guys who've kind of been at the end

580
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 9: of their career and they've not been able to really

581
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 9: find that right match. I mean, if you even look

582
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 9: at this past season, the top receivers guys like Khalil

583
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 9: Shakir and he can do a great job and get

584
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 9: those yards after catch. But d J Moore coming to Buffalo,

585
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 9: first off, culturally, he's a great fit. We had a

586
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 9: pleasure of speaking to him during Super Bowl Week, and

587
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 9: really he's just going to be right in the mix

588
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 9: and you can see him Josh Allen getting on so well,

589
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 9: a great veteran as well as football IQ and then

590
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 9: you know, we all get to see what he does

591
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 9: on the field and what he has done for years

592
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 9: with Beart, So this is going to be an exciting

593
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 9: move for him.

594
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 3: Hi phoebe so so thrilled to be picking your brain here.

595
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: But when you look at this past NFL season and

596
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 3: the evolution we saw with offenses, how do you anticipate

597
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: that affecting what teams are seeking out here in free

598
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: agency and how they will be approaching the draft.

599
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 9: You know, it's so interesting because you look over the

600
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 9: past couple of years and it's you know, last year

601
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 9: there was a lot of heavy personnel. A lot of

602
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 9: people look to the Rams and Sean McVay and that

603
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 9: offensive kind of mastermind. You start adding in this kind

604
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 9: of jumbo o line or those tight ends, those extra

605
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 9: tight end.

606
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 7: Bodies, and I think people.

607
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 9: Are always going to be looking for who is that

608
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 9: perfect fit tight end for system because when you get

609
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 9: that kind of more blocking and receiving tight end that

610
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 9: opens up your playbook so much more. And then, of course,

611
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 9: I mean the running backs, we've already seen some big

612
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 9: moves so far as this well, this off season. I

613
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 9: can't even believe it's been much of an off season,

614
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 9: but we've already seen so much happening, you know, with

615
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 9: the Texans move with you know, Daved Montgomery. I mean,

616
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 9: all of that is just pretty incredible right now. And

617
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 9: I think that's going to set its own going forwards

618
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 9: for these other teams. And then you know the other

619
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 9: side of it, and we saw it with the Seahawks

620
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 9: em and Worry. He's the kind of body type you want.

621
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 9: Who's the guy that's going to be able to play

622
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 9: up on the line of scrivia yet then can drop

623
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 9: back into past and run with the best of them.

624
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 9: That kind of defensive player is such a star.

625
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 4: I want to stay on the defense here.

626
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: I know you saw it last night, blockbuster trade Max

627
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 2: Crosby to the Ravens. The Raiders get first round draft

628
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 2: pick this year and next year from the Ravens. When

629
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: you look at this, were you shocked because the Ravens

630
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: were so used to them being a draft and developed

631
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 2: type team, or is this a direct relation in teams

632
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: watching what the Seahawks did and how they won a

633
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: Super Bowl with their defense and thinking they need to

634
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 2: be all in on defense.

635
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 4: What's your take on that whole situation?

636
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 9: You know, I think there's definitely an element of all

637
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 9: these teams that were successful this year. I mean, you

638
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 9: look at the Texans how far they got. Of course,

639
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 9: the Seahawks. I mean a lot of these teams were

640
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 9: in the mix because of their defenses more than any

641
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 9: other year. You can you could almost have an off

642
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 9: year with your quarterback, and then you see what this

643
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 9: defense does. They steal the deal and ultimately I think,

644
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 9: I mean, gosh, the's ignored this stacks and that is

645
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 9: a pretty phenomenal thing. I think the more shocking bit

646
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 9: was Max Crosby actually leaving the Raiders. Been so much

647
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 9: talk around him not ever leaving the Raiders and then

648
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 9: going to the Ravens. Who you know, it's a really

649
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 9: tricky situation with him. Right, We've talked about Lamar. You

650
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 9: bring in a new head coach, you've got to have

651
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 9: to have a whole new mentality, and one who of

652
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 9: course is now defensively led. And so I think if

653
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 9: you've got a defensive head coach. You's come in and

654
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 9: he's saying, I know that this is going to be

655
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 9: the key to our success. We've got all the other

656
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 9: pieces around, and that's what you think he's missing. I mean,

657
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 9: I would definitely buckle up when it comes in because

658
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 9: they lost Matavik early in the season and they never

659
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 9: really got their momentum back. Now, of course they're going

660
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 9: to have to do a lot of you know, great

661
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 9: moves for the draft and then the more on free agency,

662
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 9: but this is a huge statement piece for sure.

663
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 3: And when you look at this free agency picture and

664
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 3: the quarterback carousel and names like you know, Malik Willis,

665
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: even maybe Mac Jones, like Kyler Murray, what do you

666
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: see as potential landing spots and potential fits for the

667
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 3: names that are are being circulated right now.

668
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 9: Well, I think it was so interesting with everything going

669
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 9: on with Kyler Murray and the Cardinals have been a

670
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 9: team that have been trying to find that missing piece,

671
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 9: is that someone like a Malik Willis. And you know,

672
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 9: to your point earlier, I think so many people now

673
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,760
Speaker 9: are looking at the Seahawks and they're like, Okay, who's

674
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 9: going to be the next dam Donald out there who's

675
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 9: been a guy that we could revive or we could

676
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 9: kind of give that second chance. He's had all the

677
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 9: talent we saw coming out of college. We've seen it

678
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 9: as kind of you know, whether they've been had any

679
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 9: reps in the NFL. But you know, a guy like

680
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 9: Mac Jones, I think he's been kind of the conversation

681
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 9: of could he be that next dam Donald? Be someone

682
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 9: that's going to make a big impact for a team.

683
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 9: But you rights, not by than anyone. It's about the coaching,

684
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 9: It's about the system. What is your offensive line? We've

685
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 9: seen too many times great quarterbacks going into a four situation,

686
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 9: and so I think it just makes this whole time

687
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 9: to soally exciting in the NFL.

688
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 4: Phoebe Schuckter a pleasure to have you with you.

Speaker 2: to toot my horn, but let me just get right into.

717
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 3: A little basic. But I think they're still no grain twisters.

718
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 3: It's great, Okay.

719
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,080
Speaker 2: Would you rather win one championship as the star player

720
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: or win five championships as a role player?

721
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 3: Five as a role player whoa.

722
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 4: I'd say one is a star.

723
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I want to be on top all but like, yeah,

724
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: you you want to Okay, Okay, it's like big fish

725
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 3: in a little on the piction, a big pun. Hmmm. Well, anyways,

726
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 3: I said we're gonna go. Would you rather be a

727
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: hockey goalie or come out of the bullpen?

728
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: Come out of the bullpen one hundred percent? Like if

729
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 2: you're saying I can close out the game.

730
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 3: But like if if you can't close out the game.

731
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: But I can, I'm coming out of the goal bullpen.

732
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: I'm a professional Major League baseball player. You don't I

733
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: have full confidence that I'm closing this, Okay.

734
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 3: Okay, not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm not.

735
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 7: I'm not.

736
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 3: I'm not good. We're not We're not.

737
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, all right, here's a good one, one of

738
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,959
Speaker 2: my favorites. Would you rather hit a walk off home

739
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: run in Game seven of the World Series or hit

740
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 2: a buzzer beater in Game seven of the NBA Finals.

741
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 3: This was literally mine for you, except it was a

742
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 3: Hail Mary touchdown in the Super Bowl. Oh okay, well

743
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 3: you go oga, okay, okay, okay, game Kevin.

744
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: World Series walkoff or walk off home run? Totally?

745
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, totally okay, because I was like, the buzzer beater

746
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: could be a layup and then it's like one and

747
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 3: we saw the I have watched that Freddie Freeman walk

748
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: off Grand Slam like so many times and that wasn't

749
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 3: even Game seven. I mean, that's just that that hangs

750
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 3: in the air forever. So what was yours? Hailmary? What

751
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 3: would you rather hit a walk off home run in

752
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: Game seven of the World Series or throw a hail

753
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 3: Mary touchdown to win the Super Bowl? Super Bowl?

754
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 2: I think the super Bowl that would be incredible, harder

755
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: to win. It's one game, yeah, game seven?

756
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: You have seven? Yeah, so in that scenario, we picked

757
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 3: the touchdown. Yeah, I'm with you.

758
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 4: Okay.

759
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: Next, would you uh, this one's too easy, I'm not

760
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 2: gonna do it, Okay, okay. Would you rather run a

761
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: four to three forty yard dash or throw a ninety

762
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 2: five mile per hour fastball?

763
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 3: Oh? I think I'd rather run a four to three

764
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: forty Yeah, totally okay. Here, wait, give me some more

765
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 3: of yours because I think I think minor minor to

766
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: uh too basic from moving on here?

767
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 2: Okay, would you rather be the number one pick in

768
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: the NFL draft or the number one pick in the

769
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: NBA draft.

770
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: I would rather be the number one pick in the

771
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: NFL draft.

772
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 4: What about you, NBA? They make so much more money

773
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 4: now that long term.

774
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 6: Oh.

775
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 3: I wasn't even thinking about that. I was just thinking

776
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,720
Speaker 3: about if it feels to me like number one picks

777
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 3: in the NFL tend to have Like I feel like

778
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: I've seen more flame outs from number one picks in

779
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 3: the NBA. But that could also just be my my

780
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 3: brain bias.

781
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I was just thinking about it so much

782
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 4: harder to be a lottery pick in the NBA.

783
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 3: Oh, totally pick to make an NBA roster theoretically is

784
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: harder than Okay.

785
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 2: Would you rather your team win the Super Bowl this

786
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: year but miss the playoffs for the next ten years,

787
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,200
Speaker 2: or make the playoffs every year for ten years but

788
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 2: never win it all?

789
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 3: I think the Super Bowl this year? Right? What do

790
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 3: you are we talking as a fan? Yeah? I didn't

791
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 3: know if you meant like as a theat player.

792
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 4: Oh oh oh okay, I.

793
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: Was like, what what else?

794
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 4: Is one of the other options.

795
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: A player on the team but then also making the

796
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: playoffs would be.

797
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 4: Having Super Bowl you gotta yeah, like, come on, so yeah,

798
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 4: you're right?

799
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 2: Super Bowl so hard to make. Okay, real quick, we

800
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 2: have ten seconds free to answer this. Could you rather

801
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 2: play the Masters on Sunday or play in the Super Bowl?

802
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 3: Masters on Sunday?

803
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 2: Whoa, I'm gonna say super Bowl? Okay, this was really fun.

804
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:27,959
Speaker 3: This was great. You did great ones, but I guess

805
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 3: also Masters on Sunday you could play the days before?

806
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 4: True?

807
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: All right, We'll be back with more Fox Sports Radio

808
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 2: after this.

809
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 3: What is up? Party people? Happy Saturday? You know what?

810
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,080
Speaker 3: I'm nicki k joined by the one and only Bridget Condon.

811
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 3: And how about that? We've got spring Forward right around

812
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 3: the corner.

813
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: I am so excited to finally have the sun out longer,

814
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 2: the days longer.

815
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 3: This is the best time of the year.

816
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: I don't even mind that we're gonna get rid of

817
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: an hour of sleep.

818
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm all for the sacrifice of springing forward,

819
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 3: especially when you think about what this time means with

820
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: the sports calendar. Right, we have NFL free agency upon us.

821
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 3: I love the news, the movement coming off another Super Bowl,

822
00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 3: and then we have March Madness on the brink of

823
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: filling up all of our TV screens. We have the

824
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic, we have Spring Training, we have the

825
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: NBA barreling towards the start of the postseason. It doesn't

826
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 3: get much better than this. We were debating earlier in

827
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 3: the show whether it's this time of year or October,

828
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 3: you know where all the sports are happening, and it's

829
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 3: all the things what we prefer. And you you're a fallgirl.

830
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: I'm a Fall girl. I my brain just remembered my

831
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 2: chemistry teacher's name, and it's mister Hardy.

832
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 4: Mister Hardy.

833
00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do a little callback to mister Hardy. Ye,

834
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 3: shout out to mister Hardy, because he so famously would

835
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 3: roll in. Was he your your ap chem teacher? Chem teacher? No?

836
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 4: No, this is middle school?

837
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 3: Oh middle school?

838
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm talking seventh girl.

839
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 3: Okay, seventh grade would roll in the TV.

840
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, big Duke fan, big du big Duke fan.

841
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 3: He had.

842
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 2: He looked like a chemistry teacher, tall, skinny, glass loss, yes,

843
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: blonde hair that kind.

844
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 3: Of just flipped over his forehead, and you know the

845
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 3: kind that I'm talking about. And man bang would wear Duke.

846
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 2: He would get so mad and I'm like, what I

847
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 2: didn't really understand it. Again, I'm in seventh grade. Yeah,

848
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 2: but now I totally understand it, and having covered Duke

849
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 2: in Carolina, totally understands it.

850
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 3: So it feels like that's a little bit of Duke

851
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: propaganda being forced on your brain at a very young age. Bridget,

852
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: did you have to go to therapy for that?

853
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 7: Oh?

854
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 4: Are you not a Duke girl?

855
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 8: Oh?

856
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: I wanted to go to Duke so badly I got waitlisted.

857
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: So now you know, you know it's interesting. Okay.

858
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 2: So I worked in the triangle, which is North Carolina, Raleigh, Durham,

859
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: Chapel Hill for four years and I covered Duke, Carolina

860
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: and C State.

861
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 4: I actually went to post grad at Carolina, which I

862
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 4: kind of forget.

863
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 3: So you're like, oh, that chapter of my life.

864
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 2: No, actually, because I studied there. Well, I was working there,

865
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,919
Speaker 2: so it was incredible. It was like online at night,

866
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 2: that kind of thing. But for some reason, there's always

867
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 2: a pull towards Duke for me. And I'm like, Bridget,

868
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: you paid to go to Carolina. Why aren't you rooting

869
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 2: for Carolina. I don't know what it is. There's just

870
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: something Coach k I was there. Coach k Zion Williamson

871
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 2: when his shoe broke, Remember that, yep, epic moment. It's

872
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 2: just something about sitting courtside at Cameron for a basketball

873
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 2: game that when.

874
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,920
Speaker 4: You do it, does that talk your worst experience? How

875
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 4: can you not love that?

876
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 3: And well, it's so funny because I remember in high school,

877
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 3: I think was at the peak of Duke's powers, and

878
00:43:55,560 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: from a Santa Barbara, California person back of looking for

879
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: an allegiance to a collegiate program, I was like, Oh

880
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 3: my gosh, I guess I'll be a Duke fan. I

881
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: want to go to Duke. Didn't go to Duke. I

882
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,240
Speaker 3: went to UCLA. So now I'm very much tied into

883
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 3: the Ucla magic of March and I'm I'm a little bit.

884
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 3: I guess I'll roll my eyes at the arrogance of

885
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 3: Duke fans, but I get it. At the same time

886
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 3: they put in a lot of efforts.

887
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:30,080
Speaker 2: I know people think it's arrogance, the kind of try hard,

888
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: no no, no, like the way that you'd be at

889
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: a Duke game and all of a sudden, so like

890
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 2: the media row for anybody who's not familiar with how

891
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 2: media works at Duke, because a lot of times media

892
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: seating isn't great. No, especially Yes, a lot of these

893
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 2: basketball arenas have the media super high, like where hockey

894
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 2: is played so like at the top, top top, But

895
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: Duke still has their media court side and it's right

896
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 2: in front of the student section. It is so epic.

897
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 2: But anyways, one game, I got this piece of paper.

898
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: It came over like my shoulder and I was like,

899
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 2: what is this. It was a cheat sheet for all

900
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 2: the chance and like, it's not just like number seven

901
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: is bad. It would they research the opposing team, like

902
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: their families, their you know what happened in second grade

903
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: that made them the way they are. They put so

904
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: much detail into these chants.

905
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 3: That I mean, it's impressive.

906
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 2: The way that they camp out for these tickets and say,

907
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 2: and how strict the rules are that you have to

908
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 2: have one person staying in the tent twenty four to seven.

909
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you turning off the radio right now, but

910
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: you really do it is impressive.

911
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,360
Speaker 3: I do think also knowing you and knowing that you

912
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 3: are from the East Coast with Boston allegiances, I think

913
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,879
Speaker 3: the diehard Boston sports fan in you, I.

914
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 4: Get game reckon, I get the game totally. I get it.

915
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.

916
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sometimes something we miss out here in LA

917
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: because it's a very interesting sports town. People love the Lakers,

918
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 2: people of the Dodgers, but people also in the same

919
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: room have no idea what's going on because it's such

920
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 2: a Hollywood type place where you're talking about premieres and

921
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 2: movies and concerts.

922
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 4: It's just such a weird place.

923
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 3: And let's be real, like if the Lakers are having

924
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: a down year, you're like, Okay, I'll go to the beach,

925
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 3: you know, like it's.

926
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 2: Oh God, I guess I gotta go to the beach

927
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: this weekend instead of the Lakers game.

928
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 3: I always think it's so funny. There will be like

929
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 3: a Lakers playoff game will be going on, and you'll

930
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 3: go down to the beach, Manhattan Beach, and you'll see

931
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 3: dudes wearing Kobe jerseys playing beach volleyball but not watching.

932
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 4: Maybe they have their phones.

933
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. Now, Yeah, it's weird. It's just a

934
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 3: weird It's a weird town. It is it is. But

935
00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:47,479
Speaker 3: you know what all that being said about this time

936
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 3: of year and how magical it is in sports. I

937
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 3: want to talk about what the concept of springing forward,

938
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 3: and as we look at what's going on with the

939
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 3: National Football League at this moment, and as teams are

940
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 3: addressing their needs and how they can improve for the

941
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 3: upcoming season, Let's play a little game about what teams

942
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 3: you look at for the upcoming year and you think

943
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 3: they're going to spring forward, you think they're going to

944
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,959
Speaker 3: take a significant step and maybe alter the landscape of

945
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 3: the competitive push towards the postseason.

946
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:25,720
Speaker 2: All Right, to me, it's got to be the Buffalo Bills.

947
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: It's got to be the Bills. When you look at

948
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 2: the AFC East. The Dolphins are about to release to

949
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 2: a Tungo vii loa. The Jets, they got a lot

950
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 2: of work to do. The Patriots, Drake May Mike Rabel

951
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 2: had an incredible year, made it to the super Bowl

952
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 2: their first year together. I don't see them going back.

953
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 2: I think that their schedule is going to be much

954
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: harder this season. I think there's going to be hiccups.

955
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 2: I think the Bills are going to do a lot

956
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 2: to help Josh Allen. You get rid of Sean McDermott,

957
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 2: which was a shock to everybody. He's a great coach.

958
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: If you're getting rid of him, you better be at

959
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. You better have done that because you

960
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 2: believe that somebody else is taking this team to the

961
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. They just traded for DJ Moore. Conversations for

962
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:15,720
Speaker 2: years around Buffalo has been the same, Josh Allen is elite,

963
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 2: but the offense needs a true number one weapon.

964
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 4: Well, now they have it.

965
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: Moore has been one of the best players, one of

966
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 2: the most consistent, i'll say receivers in football. He was

967
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 2: great with Carolina, he was great with the Bears, multiple

968
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: one hundred yard seasons, true vertical threat. You mirror that

969
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,360
Speaker 2: with James Cook. They're running back. I think this offense

970
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 2: is going to look a lot better this season, and

971
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: it's only the beginning of what they can do in

972
00:48:40,640 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 2: free agency and of course with the NFL Draft under

973
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 2: their new head coach.

974
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 3: Are you calling your shot? Are you saying Bill's Super

975
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,479
Speaker 3: Bowl sixty one champs. I'm not saying champs. I'm saying

976
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 3: super Bowl. Okay, Okay.

977
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 2: I still think the Seahawks or Rams, You're right, might

978
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: be the champs.

979
00:48:55,680 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 3: I love that. I love that. My my spring forward team,

980
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 3: I'm I'm going a little bit different of an angle,

981
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 3: not not in terms of getting to the Super Bowl,

982
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,319
Speaker 3: but a team that's about to have a major glow up,

983
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 3: a franchise that needs it. Wait, the New York Giants.

984
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 3: I say the Harbaugh aura combined with Jackson dark camp

985
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: scatter me. I love every bit of you know, energy

986
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 3: and like buzz that we're getting around the Giants right now.

987
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: And I want to see them cause some havoc. I

988
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 3: want to see them make some waves. And I'm excited

989
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 3: to see how Harbaugh sets a new tone and you

990
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 3: know the type of coach he is, and maybe it

991
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: is kind of one of those situations that, yes, his

992
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 3: time in Baltimore ran out, and you put them in

993
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 3: a new environment with a franchise like the Giants, and

994
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 3: I think they're going to make some waves and the

995
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 3: Giants are going to be fun football.

996
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,479
Speaker 4: I that is the team that I kind of forgot about.

997
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 2: They're completely honest, but I agree with you, it's going

998
00:49:57,320 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: to be really interesting. I was actually interviewing Eli Manning

999
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: super Bowl week and.

1000
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 3: I was sharing, Oh my god, I was there. You

1001
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,839
Speaker 3: do you remember him. I was just that fireside chat.

1002
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 2: Do you remember him talking about how John Harbaugh called

1003
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 2: him and was like, hey man, I really want this

1004
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: Giant's job, like tell me about it, which to me

1005
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 2: is really interesting because John Harbaugh could have gone pretty

1006
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 2: much anywhere he wanted. He has an incredible resume. He's

1007
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: another coach that very shocking that he's no. I get it.

1008
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 2: I get it from both sides. It was time to

1009
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 2: move on. But like it was Dermot like they are

1010
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 2: both very good coaches. It's not like they I don't

1011
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 2: know what, oh and whatever. So for him to have

1012
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 2: wanted that giant's job, I think there's a lot of positivity,

1013
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 2: good energy going into that building. And Jackson Dart is

1014
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 2: a star. He is a star. Did you just see

1015
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 2: the TikTok he made with his siblings?

1016
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 3: I was like, I get this man a holiday. I well,

1017
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 3: and I was talking about this when we were talking

1018
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 3: about like couple star athlete couples. I am so into

1019
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 3: whatever him and Marissa Ayres are putting out there, like

1020
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:07,279
Speaker 3: there their aura. I'm for the quarterback being a personality,

1021
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 3: but also.

1022
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 4: Like dating the actor. I think Madison Beer, she's.

1023
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 3: Singer Justin Herbert posted on his Instagram. I was like,

1024
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 3: is this you hello? You have emotion?

1025
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 2: Does somebody have Justin Herbert like phone? If you're okay? No, seriously,

1026
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,799
Speaker 2: but I love it. I will say Justin Herbert has

1027
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 2: been a different person to deal with since dating Madison,

1028
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 2: and you know what, I'm here for it.

1029
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 3: Me too, Like give give him a little bit of personality,

1030
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 3: a little spice. And for anyone who did miss Justin

1031
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,880
Speaker 3: Herbert's story, it was basically a love letter to Madison

1032
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 3: Beer saying you're my favorite person and you've changed my life.

1033
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 4: Birthday, birthday, baby?

1034
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 3: What does a girl got to do? But no, I'm

1035
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 3: I'm really interested to see what's going on in New

1036
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 3: York and listen, there is so much to unpack with

1037
00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 3: the NFL and Bridge and I'm so happy to be writing,

1038
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,959
Speaker 3: you know, passenger seat with you to break it all down.

1039
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 3: But we are going to get into that and so

1040
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 3: much more. We talked about the NBA Eastern Conference earlier.

1041
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: We got a break down the West right after this.

1042

Speaker 2: And your run it needs to be incredibly upbeat, like

1047
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 2: I'm not an ed m house girl, but on training runs.

1048
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,239

1055
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 2: that we heard in break one shining Shining Moment.

1056
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 4: Are you familiar?

1057
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:51,360
Speaker 3: Okay?

1058
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: Now, this is a thing. I thought everybody knew one

1059
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 2: Shining Moment.

1060
00:52:55,560 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 3: And it's significant who doesn't.

1061
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: About two years ago, I was talking about it with

1062
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 2: my husband and he's like, what is that.

1063
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 4: I'm like, what are you?

1064
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:04,879
Speaker 3: And here's the thing.

1065
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's because we're reporters.

1066
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 2: So I always keep a game on to listen to

1067
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,240
Speaker 2: the postgame interview.

1068
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 3: Okay, but one shining moment.

1069
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 2: You do have to make it through a commercial break

1070
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 2: to see one shining moment. Now, he said he would

1071
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 2: always turn off the game when it ended, which I'm.

1072
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 4: Like, who are you?

1073
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 2: And so he was very shocked when I told him

1074
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: about one Shining Moment.

1075
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 3: I guess I've become right that, like I've become acquainted

1076
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 3: with it because of the tradition and rituals of sports

1077
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 3: that you come to learn, like, you know, just by

1078
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:42,279
Speaker 3: being around and having conversations with people. Film, having a bracket, yeah,

1079
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 3: having a break. Like what I was like, was that

1080
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 3: grounds for Like, okay, sweetheart.

1081
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 2: We definitely had a conversation. I was like, Okay, so

1082
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 2: this is an issue. You're not detail oriented, So we're

1083
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 2: going to sit down and watch the past thirty one

1084
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: shining moments.

1085
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 3: I think that is proper edification on your part.

1086
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 7: Ye.

1087
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 2: Some would call it therapy. I would call it telling

1088
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: him he was wrong. Yeah, but that is the best

1089
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 2: part of March Madness in my opinion.

1090
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 3: Well, and the song is so fine. I okay, so

1091
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,399
Speaker 3: I see you on one trending moment being the best part,

1092
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 3: the best way to wrap it up. Okay, yes, yes,

1093
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 3: because I was going to say, we also did mention

1094
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 3: earlier that the best part is the first two rounds. Yeah, yes, down,

1095
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 3: down go the number one seeds, down go the big

1096
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 3: the big Golias. I I just I can't wait, you know,

1097
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 3: also going on right now the National Basketball Association, we

1098
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 3: I mean Jason Tatum making his return to the court

1099
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 3: last night, just insane. Kobe energy from him all around.

1100
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,919
Speaker 3: But when we look at the Western Conference right now,

1101
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 3: you know, I've been workshopping something in my head that

1102
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 3: I want to run by you. I think this is

1103
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 3: this is good, this is good girl discourse regarding where

1104
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 3: the NBA is it currently in how it's evolved, because

1105
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 3: I think when you have the guys like Lebron James,

1106
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 3: Draymond Green, Steph Curry, you know they're the veterans on

1107
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 3: their way out, there was a time where things got

1108
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:15,359
Speaker 3: a little too buddy buddy banana boat lore. Right. I

1109
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 3: think rivalries are back. I think we're getting to a

1110
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 3: state of chippiness and true feuding led by the likes

1111
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 3: of Anthony Edwards, where guys don't like each other on

1112
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 3: opposing teams now and I love it. I'm here for that,

1113
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 3: the true vitriol that brings in the competitiveness. Have you

1114
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 3: noticed that or am I reading too much into the

1115
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 3: tea leaves?

1116
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 7: No?

1117
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 4: I would say, I don't know that it ever went away.

1118
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 2: Like the Draymond Green of it all, I feel like

1119
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 2: he's always had an issue with somebody.

1120
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 3: But then you see the buddy buddies, like the guy's vacation.

1121
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 3: This is the thing I think.

1122
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 2: A lot of guys have learned to leave it on

1123
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 2: the court right, right, And so then in the postseason

1124
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 2: you do see them spending time with each other and

1125
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: because of you know, the All Star Games and AAU

1126
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,840
Speaker 2: coming up, and like, I think there's so many people

1127
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 2: are more connected because of social media and you're you're

1128
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 2: playing in these tournaments together, you're playing pick up together

1129
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 2: or whatever.

1130
00:56:13,320 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 4: But I do, I do agree, hear what you're saying,

1131
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 4: and I love it. I live for it.

1132
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 2: I always say sports is the best reality show on

1133
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 2: tai I love when there's drama. I think it makes

1134
00:56:24,160 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 2: the average fan much more interested in watching the games

1135
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 2: when there's a little spiciness to it.

1136
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 3: Like the fight that went down with Lou Dort and

1137
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 3: Nikola Jokic. Did you see the memes of Jokic's face,

1138
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,319
Speaker 3: the credit murray in his eyes? So then I sat

1139
00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 3: there and I go, are the Oklahoma cities under Now?

1140
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 3: Some might call them villains, I'm calling them the Katie

1141
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,280
Speaker 3: Heron of the NBA Mean Girls universe.

1142
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 2: Hmm.

1143
00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 3: Interesting, the darlings that were so rutable and lovable and

1144
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 3: then all of a sudden they get a little bit

1145
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 3: of ego and bounce in their steps. They win an

1146
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 3: NBA title, and now they might be just turning into

1147
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 3: the mean girl that they were trying to take down

1148
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 3: in the first place.

1149
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:19,720
Speaker 2: And you know what I say to that, Yes, I'm

1150
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 2: here for it. Look, you deserve to be that. They

1151
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 2: are the team that everybody is chasing in the West.

1152
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 2: They've spent much of the season at the top of

1153
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:33,960
Speaker 2: the conference. SGA m VP caliber kind of guy continues

1154
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 2: to leave one of the most balanced.

1155
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 4: Teams in the league. And it's like talk that talk.

1156
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 3: Talk that talk, and the way Sam Presty has built

1157
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 3: that franchise, you know, with just one billion picks in

1158
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 3: his arsenal. And then I truly do enjoy watching them

1159
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 3: play for each other. Last year it was so much fun,

1160
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: the joy they had, the youth they have, It's been refreshing.

1161
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 3: And it's also really fun to look at the rest

1162
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 3: of the West. Oh, hello San Antonio, Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves.

1163
00:58:07,640 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: I think the competitive balance in the league right now

1164
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 3: is at an all time high. Not to mention this

1165
00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 3: has been the NBA has been dominated by the Western

1166
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 3: Conference in terms of I think throughout the regular season

1167
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 3: it's like the West is just best, and yeah, you

1168
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 3: have a couple of Eastern Conference champions time and time

1169
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 3: here and there. But the parody now, I think the balance,

1170
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 3: the split balance. At this point in the league, it's

1171
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 3: like the West is only a couple of games up

1172
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 3: on the East in terms of they're like head to

1173
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 3: head matchups right now. So I think right now the

1174
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 3: league is so fun. It's great. When you look at

1175
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 3: the Western Conference, what teams are you eyeing as potential

1176
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 3: threats to upend Oklahoma City.

1177
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: I think one of the most surprising teams is the Spurs.

1178
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone expected them to be this in

1179
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 2: second place. But when I look at the standings, okay,

1180
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:09,120
Speaker 2: you have the Thunder and the Spurs one and two,

1181
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: but then you have the Timberwolves, the Rockets, the Nuggets,

1182
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 2: the Lakers, all very very close. The Timberwolves have won

1183
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 2: forty games, Rockets, Nuggets thirty nine, Lakers thirty eight. So

1184
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 2: I think what's so interesting is how close the middle

1185
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 2: of the West is right now and how different things

1186
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 2: can happen through the final six weeks. A hot streak

1187
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 2: could completely reshape the playoff pitcher before it begins. So

1188
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 2: I think that's what's so fun when I look at

1189
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 2: the West and how much room for change there is

1190
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 2: over these next month and a half.

1191
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 3: Right, nothing's guaranteed in Minnesota, definitely. They've got a critical

1192
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 3: two week stretch ahead. You know, they can secure a

1193
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 3: top four seed in the West, and there are six

1194
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 3: out of seven games are against teams with winning records

1195
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 3: coming up, and that's something that I look at. I

1196
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 3: kind of feel like with all the talk and focus

1197
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 3: being on, you know, the surprise of San Antonio, you know,

1198
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 3: can okay see you go back to back. I'm I

1199
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 3: think Minnesota's got something special and I think they have

1200
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: an edge. And I think Anthony Edwards has dedicated this

1201
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 3: season to fixing like things that he was felt deficient

1202
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 3: in prior to So if he's continuing to elevate his game,

1203
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 3: give me more ant, man, I just I love it.

1204
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 4: And then we're not.

1205
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 3: You know, that's not even mentioning Houston and Denver. I

1206
01:00:32,080 --> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 3: do like the added layers of like you know, the

1207
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 3: Nuggets thunder budding rivalry. The Nuggets and Lakers have chippiness too.

1208
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 3: It's great.

1209
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,960
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, because you cover the Lakers

1210
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:48,080
Speaker 2: all the time, like, is are they in a position

1211
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 2: where they can go on a streak here and you

1212
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: believe in them, like seeing them inside and out, or

1213
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 2: is it kind of like the Lebron's just going through

1214
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 2: the motions. He's gonna be on the Cavs next season

1215
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 2: and we're moving on.

1216
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 3: I I think anytime you have the names Lebron, James, Luka, Doncic,

1217
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 3: and you know, full stop, anytimes you have time you

1218
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 3: have the names Lebron, James, Luka, Doncic on a roster,

1219
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:15,960
Speaker 3: you can't take them for you can't under underestimate them.

1220
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 3: The Lakers can be a threat. Austin Reeves needs to

1221
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 3: get back to his form before his injury. He was

1222
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 3: on a tear when Lebron was out at the beginning

1223
01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 3: of this season. And what JJ Reddick will tell you

1224
01:01:29,400 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 3: is like right now they're all still figuring out how

1225
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 3: to play together, which is crazy to say in March,

1226
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 3: but that's been.

1227
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 4: Great, Like there's six weeks left of the season. What

1228
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 4: have you been doing.

1229
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 3: Also, And that's been it's been the name of the

1230
01:01:39,840 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 3: game with injuries and now DeAndre eight and is you know,

1231
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,480
Speaker 3: needing to have some extra fire in his game. There's

1232
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 3: a case that Jackson Hayes should be their starting center,

1233
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 3: and it just feels like there's pieces that constantly need

1234
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 3: to be reshuffled. But when you've got the talent and

1235
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 3: the star power that is the Los Angeles Lakers, you

1236
01:02:00,560 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 3: can never count them out. That being said, I am

1237
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 3: very interested to see how they continue to surround Luka

1238
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 3: Doncic with more pieces suited to his game and what

1239
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 3: Lebron does this upcoming offseason. It's there is already focus

1240
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 3: on what the Lakers are going to do this upcoming

1241
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 3: off season. But that being said, we've got updates to

1242
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 3: get to and I'm going to turn it on over

1243
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 3: to Isaac mullincot. Thank you, Nikki and Bridge.

1244
01:02:25,360 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 8: We have a big upset in college basketball that went

1245
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 8: down earlier this hour, unranked Marquette knocking off fourth ranked

1246
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,040

01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,960

1269
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:03,160

Speaker 3: Find a woman who can do it all? Lauren girl?

1272
01:04:06,360 --> 01:04:07,720

01:04:08,760 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: Hi?

1274
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 7: Guys, I'm so happy to be with you. Thanks for

01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 7: having me.

1276
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 3: Have you jumped on any of the trampolines yet? I

1277
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:18,959
Speaker 3: don't care doing this interview from the trampoline. No, I'm home.

1278
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 5: I'm actually home.

1279
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 7: I made it home safe, Thank goodness.

1280
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. Well, you're the absolute best. And we

1281
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 3: have been raving about just what a magical time this

1282
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 3: is in the sporting calendar, and I can only imagine

1283
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 3: for you as you're doing your prep for the upcoming

1284
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 3: MLB season, you know, spring trainings on, We've got the

1285
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 3: WBC going on, and then on top of that, you're

1286
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 3: going to be on the sidelines for March Madness. I mean,

1287
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 3: what does this time of year mean to you?

1288
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 7: Oh?

1289
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 5: Man, it's such a blast. I was actually watching last night.

1290
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 5: I was I found myself me deep and Nicaragwood Dominican.

1291
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 5: I have no time either, and I was so just

1292
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:02,080
Speaker 5: mesmerized by, first of all, level of talent and the

1293
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 5: want to and the will and the excitement, and that

1294
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 5: just kind of carries over into March Madness. There's so

1295
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 5: much to be excited about this time of year, and

1296
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 5: I get to go.

1297
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 7: So Selection Sunday's next Sunday.

1298
01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 5: I get all my teams and then it's kind of

1299
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:16,439
Speaker 5: a race against time.

1300
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:17,520
Speaker 7: Get eighteens to.

1301
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 5: Learn, call all the athletic directors, to learn all their stories,

1302
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 5: and hope to hope to do to injustice. So it's

1303
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 5: the best time of year in my opinion.

1304
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 2: Okay, we were just kind of talking about that offline,

1305
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 2: how crazy it must be to be a sideline reporter

1306
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 2: for March Madness. Because usually when you sideline a game,

1307
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 2: say an NFL sideliner, you get your game assignment at

1308
01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 2: least seven days before six days saveurndays before you have time.

1309
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 2: But March Madness, you don't even know who you're going

1310
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 2: to be playing. You have to prepare for so much.

1311
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 2: Can you kind of just take us behind the scenes

1312
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 2: of what your week looks like as you get ready

1313
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 2: for that first week.

1314
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 5: It's such a good question because it's complete chaos and

1315
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 5: it's the most fun. So Selection Sunday about two hours

1316
01:05:57,600 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 5: after we find where we're going. I always have four

1317
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 5: binders ready to go, and on them when I get

1318
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,160
Speaker 5: my teams, I write the team the mascot, the conference,

1319
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,120
Speaker 5: and the coach, and then when.

1320
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 7: I interview them.

1321
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 5: So for example, the lead coach that the team that's

1322
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 5: in better placement is the under twelve interview, so I

1323
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 5: put under twelve.

1324
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 7: So I remember in a drop of a hat.

1325
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 5: You know, sometimes it's four games in a day, so

1326
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 5: you have to remember when you're interviewing too.

1327
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 7: It goes so fast.

1328
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 5: And then there's players you've never heard of. Obviously, you know,

1329
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 5: no one's ever heard of if you're not following the

1330
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 5: smaller schools or and the mascots and all that kind

1331
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 5: of stuff. So you are just it's full cram. So

1332
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 5: then right when you get the on Sunday the assignment,

1333
01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 5: you text all the athletic directors come up with a time.

1334
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 5: On Monday, you can talk eight phone calls about an

1335
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 5: hour each, getting all their stories and then researching them,

1336
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 5: talking to the athlete who you know, one of the

1337
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 5: guys looked up to Lebron James, so then we'll try

1338
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 5: and get in touch with Lebron James to give a quote.

1339
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 7: On the athlete. Right, it's just complete chaos.

1340
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 5: And then you just go a certain point, guys, I say,

1341
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 5: pencils down enough I'm not going to learn anymore. I'm

1342
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 5: just going to hope to do them justice. So that's

1343
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 5: around Wednesday. I put my pencil down and just hope.

1344
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 3: For the best. But Lauren, what I have loved watching you.

1345
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 3: I mean in these moments, whether you're handling the trophy

1346
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 3: presentation in Major League Baseball postseason or you're sharing these

1347
01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 3: athletes stories. For a lot of them, this is like

1348
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 3: they're they're one hi where you know, to use the

1349
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 3: term one shining moment. What what do you love about

1350
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 3: being in this arena with you know a lot of

1351
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:40,280
Speaker 3: these these young men who like this is this is

1352
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 3: the biggest stage they're setting foot on.

1353
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 7: It's so true.

1354
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 5: Nick, and I remember, oh gosh, about two years ago,

1355
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 5: I was covering a team. I do not remember the team,

1356
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 5: but I remember we could get to sit down with

1357
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 5: the players and I said, what are you looking forward

1358
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 5: to the most? I asked that same question you just

1359
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 5: asked me to them and they said, each one down

1360
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 5: the line, they said, I'm going to I'm going into

1361
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,840
Speaker 5: accounting in a week. I'm going to be a plumber.

1362
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 5: I'm going to be a teacher. Right this was this

1363
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 5: is it?

1364
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 7: Think about that so many times.

1365
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 5: We interview baseball players all the time, right, and this

1366
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 5: is they're in the major league, this is it.

1367
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 7: Well, this is their career.

1368
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 5: They're they're shining at the highest level. A lot of

1369
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 5: times in March madness, this is it, critim, this is

1370
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,879
Speaker 5: their last time that they will pick up a basketball.

1371
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 5: Think about that, from when they were two years old

1372
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 5: on this is the last time.

1373
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,719
Speaker 7: So trying to honor that is so cool.

1374
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 5: But yet it's a different it's a different sporting event

1375
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:37,280
Speaker 5: in that sense. It's not like, oh, Tomorrow's there's another day.

1376
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 5: It really really for a lot of these kids, that

1377
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 5: isn't There isn't another day, all right.

1378
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 2: Not to put you on the spot, but we were

1379
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 2: talking about do Carolina and rivalries and epic moments. What

1380
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: is the most electric environment you've experienced during the tournament?

1381
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 5: Oh, you're going to say just in sports in general.

1382
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 5: And I always say the same question answer to that,

1383
01:08:57,200 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 5: it's Death Valley at night at buns LSU at night

1384
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 5: is something if you've never been, you just have to

1385
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:10,599
Speaker 5: in the Bayou. The most amazing people, the food, the sights,

1386
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 5: the sound.

1387
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 7: It is just magical.

1388
01:09:13,080 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, I don't think it gets any bigger

1389
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,680
Speaker 5: than that for sure, in terms of college of basketball

1390
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 5: going back, and then just on the baseball landscape. I

1391
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 5: just remember I love Red Sox Yankees, but I also

1392
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:28,640
Speaker 5: love if you're in the New England area, or if

1393
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 5: you're in New York and you're at something that has

1394
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 5: nothing to do with baseball. I remember being at a

1395
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 5: Dave Matthews concert in Boston.

1396
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 2: Yea, that is such a Boston thing. Let me just say,

1397
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 2: a Dave Matthews band concert. You're taking me back so.

1398
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 7: Good, so good, and they're still talking about Red Sox Yankee.

1399
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:48,719
Speaker 5: So that's when you know, right when the rivalry creeps

1400
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 5: over into regular life.

1401
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 3: I love that. And Lauren, I mean because you are

1402
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 3: the ultimate utility player talking just baseball. And you know,

1403
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,559
Speaker 3: I was out at Dodgers camp for a week and

1404
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 3: it's it's just surreal to hear the word three P

1405
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 3: being floated around. But as you look at the rest

1406
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:08,840
Speaker 3: of at the rest of MLB and you know where

1407
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 3: this season is going, what are big themes that you're noticing?

1408
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:14,639
Speaker 7: Ooh, big themes?

1409
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 5: First of all, well, with the WBC, I'm just loving

1410
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 5: the star power, right, themes I have wanted for a

1411
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 5: long time for the Phillies to like, I've picked them

1412
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 5: the last three years. I've been wrong for three years.

1413
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 5: I just feel like they have every thing you need

1414
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 5: for a championship. I feel like the Yankees are right

1415
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 5: there knocking on the door. But then you know, I

1416
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 5: didn't pick the Blue Jays and look at them. So

1417
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 5: it's like every year I do these predictions and I

1418
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 5: hate it if my least favorite part of the job

1419
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:41,560
Speaker 5: because they're always wrong. So I'm just gonna pick the

1420
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 5: Dodgers for the rest of my life.

1421
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 7: That's that's that's it.

1422
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 5: I'm going with that for the rest of my life.

1423
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's the thing that people don't understand with

1424
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 2: these predictions, and people are.

1425
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 3: Like, you're so wrong, you don't know what you're talking about.

1426
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 3: It's like nobody knows, nobody.

1427
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:55,240
Speaker 5: Knows, nobody knows you had the Blue Jays, you're a

1428
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 5: Ubi Lion, you are.

1429
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 3: Ying, or you're from Toronto.

1430
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 2: Anyways, who's a team that people might be sleeping on

1431
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,440
Speaker 2: right now that you're like, hmm, this can be a surprise.

1432
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 5: The athletics are going to be good. They have locked

1433
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 5: up a lot of their young talent. I think their

1434
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 5: division is more open than we think. Do I think

1435
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 5: they're ready right now? Do I think I have all

1436
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,879
Speaker 5: the pitching, you know, pitching wins in October?

1437
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 7: Do I think that?

1438
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:18,560
Speaker 6: No?

1439
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,759
Speaker 5: I don't, But I think they have some young talent

1440
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,200
Speaker 5: that is locked up and ready to go, and by

1441
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,599
Speaker 5: the time they're in Vegas, we're going to see them

1442
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 5: completely rise.

1443
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:29,479
Speaker 7: I feel like that's an.

1444
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 5: Up and coming team.

1445
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 7: Who else.

1446
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 5: I feel like the Red Sox could be good. The

1447
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 5: pitching stuff so good. I just went to camp and

1448
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,280
Speaker 5: I talked to Alex Korra and he's like, you know,

1449
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 5: if we can hit, we're solid and pitching. So those

1450
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 5: two teams, I feel like, stick out to me. I

1451
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 5: just went to all the spring all spring training sites,

1452
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,599
Speaker 5: and those two kind of stand out above.

1453
01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 3: The rest NonStop. And looking at the WBC, do you

1454
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 3: think we're headed towards a USA Japan final?

1455
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, you know.

1456
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 5: Okay, So last night I was all up in Dominican Nicaragua, USA.

1457
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 7: I was watching and.

1458
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 5: Then Japan was in the morning, so you know, you

1459
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 5: guys woke up. You saw showhey, you know.

1460
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:12,639
Speaker 3: On four Unicorn back in actually unicorn stuff.

1461
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:14,960
Speaker 5: So I looked at all the scores so last night

1462
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 5: I kind.

1463
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 7: Of took while Friday Night guys.

1464
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 5: By the way she took all the scores, I'm like, Okay,

1465
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 5: Japan beat them by thirteen, US beat them by ten,

1466
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 5: Dominican beat them by whatever. I think it was twelve

1467
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 5: or whatever it was, and I'm like, they're just beating

1468
01:12:28,439 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 5: everyone else. So it's those three to me far and away. Obviously,

1469
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 5: I was trying to think if I would pick the

1470
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 5: USA or the Dominican lineup.

1471
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 7: I don't know much about the Japanese lineup.

1472
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 5: Although they scored you know, I think it was thirteen

1473
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 5: round yesterday, they're so close the Dominican in the US

1474
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 5: lineup are so they're both so stacked it's like card

1475
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:50,600
Speaker 5: to choose. I feel like the pitching on the American

1476
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 5: side might win out, but my gosh, I would be

1477
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 5: you know, I'm usl away, but I don't know how

1478
01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 5: that's going to work out. But Japan, I just don't

1479
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 5: know all the players. But they've won three World Baseball Classics,

1480
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 5: more than anyone else, so I never underestimate them.

1481
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 4: Show Hey Otani, big guy, fan of this guy?

1482
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 3: Who is it?

1483
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 2: Guy?

1484
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Who is he?

1485
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 2: My question to you is, if it comes down to

1486
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:19,839
Speaker 2: USA versus Show Hey Otani?

1487
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 3: Just USA, Show Hey, got it? That's what it is?

1488
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 2: Who are you going for? And what of your interactions

1489
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,280
Speaker 2: with Show Hey, Ben? Can you share a little insight?

1490
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 5: Yes?

1491
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 7: So, I Nick, you was talking about the trophy presentation.

1492
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,720
Speaker 5: I got the privilege which maybe my favorite thing I

1493
01:13:35,760 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 5: get to do is after one sixty two, just the

1494
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 5: grind getting able to hand the trophy to the World

1495
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 5: Championship Series MVP. And it was the Dodgers and going

1496
01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 5: into that series against the Brewers, they swept them in

1497
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 5: four games, but it was anyone from Snell to Yamamoto.

1498
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 5: All these guys did well, but there was no clear

1499
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 5: cut MVP. And I like to prepare my questions because

1500
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 5: I I want them to be how I want them, right,

1501
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 5: like you you can leave. There's so much left us

1502
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 5: to chance in live tb Ile. You know, we all

1503
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 5: prepare so much, right, So I'm like, who's it going

1504
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 5: to be? And then Show Hey goes off with ten

1505
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 5: streakouts and three home run and I'm thinking this man,

1506
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:16,960
Speaker 5: And you know that I practiced the whole season. I thought,

1507
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 5: what if I get to interview show Hareshani? So I

1508
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 5: learned how to stay congratulations in Japanese, and at that moment,

1509
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 5: I forgot I did not say it.

1510
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 3: You did that. You know, I had such a big moment, Lauren, Lauren,

1511
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 3: I know we're talking about the unicorn that show Hey is,

1512
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,799
Speaker 3: but that's what makes you an absolute unicorn and Lauren Shahanti.

01:15:33,320 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 3: a wedding with a saxophonist.

1535
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 2: I demanded a saxophone at my wedding, as you should.

1536
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:40,480
Speaker 4: It was one of my only demands.

1537
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 3: And what was your favorite song that the saxophonist ripped

1538
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,680
Speaker 3: you or did you have like a great memory of

1539
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 3: one on the dance floor?

1540
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,280

1541
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,680

01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 2: the songs.

1543
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,519

1546
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,519

01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 2: the chemistry teacher. You know, I'll let you know about

1548

1553
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 3: in the sports world this week that made you smile?

1554
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 4: Okay?

1555
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 2: So, one of the most powerful stories that I've read

1556
01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 2: surrounds the LA Marathon that's obviously happening in La where

1557
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:30,480
Speaker 2: we are tomorrow.

1558
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:32,839
Speaker 3: It's a movement called Run Like Braun.

1559
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 2: It's a tribute to bron Levy, an eighteen year old

1560
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 2: Loyola High School senior nationally ranked tennis player. He ran

1561
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 2: the LA Marathon last year on a whim, which is

1562
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 2: absolutely insane. It takes months of training to do that.

1563
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,799
Speaker 2: Despite having no training, he pushed through. He finished the rage.

1564
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 2: His family said that kind of perfectly captured his fearless

1565
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 2: approach to life. Two months later, he was tragically killed

1566
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:58,439
Speaker 2: being struck by a suspected dui driver in Manhattan Beach.

1567
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,600
Speaker 2: Now his family and friends are honoring his legacy. A

1568
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,680
Speaker 2: group of sixty six runners will take on the LA

1569
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:10,280
Speaker 2: Marathon wearing shirts that read run like Braun and Impaired Driving.

1570
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 2: Such an incredible it gives me chills thinking about it.

1571
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 2: Being at the marathon in general is one of those

1572
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:22,000
Speaker 2: things that is so moving and inspiring, and just seeing

1573
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 2: all of his friends and family want to pay this

1574
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,720
Speaker 2: forward and do something and honor his life. It's just

1575
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 2: one of those stories that really stopped me in my

1576
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:30,719
Speaker 2: tracks when I read it this week.

1577
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,519
Speaker 3: It's really special that you mentioned that. I know a

1578
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 3: large community, the Live Like bron community, and it is

1579
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 3: a movement in the South Bay celebrating Bronze memory and

1580
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 3: legacy and the amount of lives he impacted from his peers,

1581
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:52,360
Speaker 3: you know, high school students at the time, to their

1582
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 3: parents and it is a beautifully contagious spirit to celebrate

1583
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 3: and remember that, like every moment is precious. And I

1584
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:06,400
Speaker 3: didn't know the marathon campaign for that, and I'm I'm

1585
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 3: I just got goosebumps hearing that, so run like Ron, Yeah,

1586
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 3: like Ron, beautiful, beautiful stuff. Thank you for sharing that.

1587
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 3: My my feel good story is a little bit sillier,

1588
01:18:17,560 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 3: but it is on the power of girlhood. This week,

1589
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 3: three UCLA women's basketball seniors what which by the way,

1590
01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 3: UCLA women's basketball team is number two in the nation

1591
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 3: right now. They were in the final four last year.

1592
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 3: Gabriella Hawkes, Charlie Leisure Walker, and Lauren Betts. They have

1593
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 3: been training for the past month to do to dance

1594
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:39,720
Speaker 3: with the UCLA dance team, which by the way is

1595
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,040
Speaker 3: no joke of a dance team. It is very competitive

1596
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,720
Speaker 3: to make that team at UCLA. And so for the

1597
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 3: senior night, for these three incredibly well rounded women. They

1598
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 3: got up there and they danced and they hit they five, six, seven, eight.

1599
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 3: It was so awesome. And I've known Gabriella followed her

1600
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 3: career since you know, her brother Hime was a senior

1601
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 3: at UCLA going on to play for the Heat. The

1602
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 3: Hawkes family is wonderful. It's just really cool to see

1603
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:12,040
Speaker 3: her blossom into this athlete and celebrate the power of

1604
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 3: being a female, Like, yes, I love that.

1605
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh my god, that's awesome. What an accomplishment. Real quick,

1606
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,519
Speaker 2: I got another one for you. Did you hear about

1607
01:19:21,520 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 2: the Carson Race?

1608
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:22,720
Speaker 7: No?

1609
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 4: Okay?

1610
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 3: In the world of social.

1611
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 2: Media online, how about this in Edwardsville, Illinois, yesterday, more

1612
01:19:29,080 --> 01:19:31,479
Speaker 2: than forty five people named Carson showed up to race

1613
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,560
Speaker 2: each other at a local park. Over three hundred spectators

1614
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 2: came out to watch and cheer. It started like this

1615
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 2: one guy Carson on TikTok Carsons. Yes, the winner won

1616
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 2: one hundred dollars Chick fil a gift card, gift basket,

1617
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 2: and a collectible coin.

1618
01:19:44,760 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 3: We got to think of the plural for Carsons, just

1619
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:49,439
Speaker 3: a car cart.

1620
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 2: Carlo I was thinking, like, who named Bridget wants to

1621
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 2: race me. The funny thing about Carsons, it's like a

1622
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 2: gender neutral name. So we had men, we had women,

1623
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 2: a young Carson's old Carsons. Also, why is everybody in

1624
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 2: Illinois named Carson? Forty five people in one town named Carson.

1625
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 3: Incredible. We'll have to dig into that at a future time.

1626
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,680
Speaker 3: But listen, good luck to all the marathoners running the

1627
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 3: LA Marathon tomorrow. Coming up next, it's Alex Curry and

1628
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 3: Garment Vitally. We'll see you right after this
