We are past the midway point of the 4 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: month of August. You can smell football in the air. 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna preface this by saying this may be 6 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: a basketball heavy podcast, and not just because the Gray Foxes. Yes, 7 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: the Gray Foxes won their semifinal matchup on Sunday. I 8 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: didn't want to talk about it big on Monday because 9 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,919 Speaker 1: I want the one of the Comeback Show to be 10 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: more about sports. And you know, now that we're into 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 1: the week, I can I can talk to you about 12 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,040 Speaker 1: the big semifinal win and we are slightly to play 13 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: in the finals Sunday six o'clock. We're playing the defending champs. 14 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: They won I think nine games last year. We played 15 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: them twice. This year. We whooped them by like twenty 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: five when they were missing their second best player, and 17 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: then we beat them in in a good game, but 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: we we only had five guys, and um we beat 19 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: him and it was kind of close. But I think 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: we want by like nine or seven or nine or 21 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: something like that. But we're gonna have all ten dudes 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: for the championship game, and you know, um, just a 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: quick word on the semifinal. Yes, there is actual sports 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: to be talked about. A quick word on the semifinal. 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: So we had eight eight of our ten guys. We've 26 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: never had ten. We've never had more than eight for 27 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: a game. You know, because it's summer. People are taken 28 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: off and you know, we're missing our best wing defender 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: and we're missing like, uh just one of our like 30 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: best i Q guys KG veteran. We are playing a 31 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: team that we beat twice, but they had a guy 32 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: who know none of us had seen. Like sometimes you'll 33 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: show up before games and catch the tail like final 34 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: ten minutes of the game, and sometimes you'll stay after 35 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: for a few minutes and watch a few minutes. I've 36 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: never seen this guy before, but one of our our 37 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: players had seen him and was like, this guy is 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: really good, and I was like, all right, so you 39 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: can see him warming up Indian guy. But he was 40 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: like six three and he he you know, he looked 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: athletic and young. Probably this guy makes a three on 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: their first possession and it's obviously that he's pretty good. 43 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: And then he has like a and one, and then 44 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: he hits the three and I'm like, oh my gosh, 45 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: this guy is really good. He was a strong player, 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not gonna overhype him. He was I 47 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: said sixth three, but he played durant ish in that 48 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: he had a high release point. And we started our 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 1: one big guy, Dane that you guys didn't know, the 50 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: former Notre Dame quarterback. Started Dane against him, and he 51 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 1: d shoots these threes, and then we moved our other guy, Craig, 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: who's a big guy, a little quicker against him, and he, 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: you know, he's just unstoppable. This guy must have had 54 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: thirty points. He was incredible. But we also had a 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: third big guy who I think is like six four 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: maybe six five and briefly played in Germany, and just 57 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: you could just tell he wore down going against our 58 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,119 Speaker 1: three bigs. I didn't play particularly well myself. I will 59 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: tell you why in a moment um, and it has 60 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: nothing to do with Hawaii. But we prevailed. I mean, 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, they cut it to like three in the 62 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: second half. It went like fifteen minutes left, but we 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: pulled away. I think we went by sixteen and and 64 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: their captain was like, let's just call the game with 65 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 1: like one thirty left. Um, their best player, the guy 66 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: just told you about, came. He was just gassed, like 67 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 1: he would stop rotting up and down the court. Midway 68 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: through the second half, you could tell he had nothing left. 69 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: They because they couldn't take him out, and so you know, 70 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: he he did not come in for like the final 71 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: seven minutes. Anyways, I didn't play well because I had 72 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: this hair brained idea watching some of these people on 73 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: Instagram film basketball games, that oh, guys, we could what 74 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: if we had somebody come film our game and then 75 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: we made like a video out of it, like our 76 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: intros to the game, you know, walking up as if 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: we were NBA players. Yes, I know you're laughing, I 78 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: get it, ha ha ha, and are warming up and 79 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: then the game. It could be cool. It could be fun. 80 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: And I didn't think the rest of our team won 81 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: and they were like, yo, yeah, this is fun, you know, 82 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: because come on, why not? You know, we're fun, we're old, 83 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: we're having fun, and we're a good team, pretty confident. 84 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: So you know, I found a guy on Instagram through 85 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: a buddy quasi buddy that I know, and he recommended him. 86 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: The guy's a student at Pepperdine, and you know, I 87 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 1: had I looked at his Instagram and a couple of 88 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: videos he's done, like the guys obviously pretty good. So 89 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,159 Speaker 1: he comes out and the whole time I'm thinking about 90 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: the camera man, and obviously, like in warmups, I could 91 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: tell like I was off um and in the game, 92 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: I think I was like one for six. I just wasn't. 93 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: Now defensively I was fine mostly um, but I could 94 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: just tell I was overthinking it and I didn't play 95 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: particularly well, but we didn't shoot it while we just 96 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,160 Speaker 1: you know, the big guy Dane was a monster, you know, 97 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: and it was the Dane's obviously really good. He played 98 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: quarterback at Notre Dame, he played high school basketball. The 99 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: guy's a beast. And this was the game where I 100 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: could just you could just see he is a high 101 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: level athlete who was recruited by h. Pete Carroll at 102 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: USC and Sark and all these like high level college 103 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: football coaches are in in the in his living room 104 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: recruiting him to come play, and you could just tell, 105 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: like this guy's got both confidence and it's you know, 106 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: like midway through the second half, I'm like we should 107 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: just dump it down to him every time. But they'll 108 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 1: start doubling, We'll get open jumpers, you know. We they 109 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: initially sagged. They were playing like a two one two, 110 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: and now I'm getting way in the weeds. But nevertheless, 111 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: Dane was an absolute monster and it was a great win, 112 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: and we're excited for the finals. It's a six o'clock Sunday, 113 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: so you know it should be a fun one. That 114 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: being said, I do need to also talk about the 115 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: NBA because a few things happened that I think are 116 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: kind of fascinating. I know, the Lamar Jackson things floating 117 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: out there. Frankly, the closer you get to being in 118 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,719 Speaker 1: the media and seeing how the sausage gets made, I 119 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: don't know that I buy any of this Lamar Jackson stuff. Basically, 120 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: people are looking to fill the time with reporting that's 121 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: masquerading his inside information. And Jay Glazier is not reporting 122 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: Jack squat Um, Peter King's not really reporting anything. Adam 123 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: Schefter is not reporting anything. Uh what he was on 124 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: here last week. Ian Rappaport, he's not saying nobody knows, 125 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: and if you don't know, instead of just guessing or 126 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: saying dumb stuff. It's like, let me just say nothing, 127 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: and so I'm not going to dive into them. Are 128 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: Jackson Is it a fun topic? Should he get fully 129 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: guaranteed money like Deshaun Watson? I don't think so. But 130 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: I think if anybody any of the quarterbacks that are up, 131 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: like Kyler Murray him, Yeah, sure, why not, he should 132 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: ask for it. He's not gonna get it, but he 133 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: should ask for it. Um. So, I'm not in love 134 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: with the Lamar Jackson story. And frankly, you know, I 135 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: saw that Tampa sat twenty nine players for the preseason opener. 136 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: I love football. I love like scouting mostly my Jets, 137 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: watching the preseason games, looking at the young guys who 138 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: are trying really hard to make the roster, and identifying 139 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: guys before they pop, you know, before they become like, oh, 140 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: that guy's a key player on special teams or oh, gosh, 141 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: he's awesome in the dime package. You know, I can't 142 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: wait for him to be a starter one of those deals. 143 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: But you really only do that for your favorite team. 144 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: I'm not doing that for like the Minnesota Vikings, who, 145 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: by the way, I like a lot this year. But 146 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: you know, I could dive into boy, Rob G's Raiders. 147 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: Have you seen the musical chairs they're playing on the 148 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: offensive line? And do you know Derek Carr's numbers plummet 149 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: when he's under pressure? Clean pocket? Derek Carr is a good, 150 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: good quarterback, maybe a top ten quarterback. Under when it's 151 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: a clean pocket, you get him under pressure, and Derek 152 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: car folds like a cheap card table. And I know 153 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: the Skille position players are awesome, and Rob G's excited. 154 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: A lot of Raiders fans are pumped. I'm just I 155 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: do not like the cut of this Raiders team right now. 156 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: The secondary is laughable. I don't think they're a playoff team. 157 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: They got super lucky last year. Well will eventually do 158 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: previews of all the teams, or the teams that matter. 159 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: I have officially booked my trip to Vegas to sign 160 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: up for the five million dollar UM contest. I forget 161 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: which hotel it's with, but they're not advertising here anyway, 162 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: so no need for me to pump them up. UM. 163 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, the tickets booked.

But I'm excited to hit Vegas. 166 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: It'll be a quick in and out job. I'll go 167 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 1: to a couple of the shops, shop around for the 168 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: best prices online ahead of time, um, and whatever you 169 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: can find in the desert that's better lay the lumber there. 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 171 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: the nation.

And now the 174 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: portion of the podcast that I'm totally interested that I 175 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys are going to be. But 176 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: did anybody see all the photos that were posted from 177 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: Draymond Green's wedding over the weekend. If you have no 178 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: idea what I'm talking about, it's less about who was 179 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: there and more about who was not. But also who 180 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,120 Speaker 1: was there was pretty cool. Obviously Lebron once he posted 181 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: about it. I think Lebron might have been. I didn't 182 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: see anybody other than Lebron post about it. And then 183 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: you start going in the weeds and click on the 184 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: other guys who were in Lebronze photo that he tagged 185 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: like Contagious Cold World Pope and Moses Moody and one 186 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: Tuscano Anderson obviously Steph Curry. Uh, my guy, Matt Barnes 187 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: was there. I say, my guy, but I don't have 188 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: his number because I should have texted him and asked 189 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: for some details. Um, Leandro Barbosa, Sean Living staid, a 190 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: lot of former Warriors, a lot so Clay. I did 191 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,079 Speaker 1: see Jason Tatum there. I wonder if that's like an 192 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: Olympic thing. Maybe I don't know. The baby and Roddy 193 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: Rich performed. For all you cultural tastemakers, it looked like 194 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: it was pretty lit. I'm not gonna lie. Uh the baby, 195 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: he's all right. Roddy Rich has a couple of a 196 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: couple of bangers that I really like. But I think 197 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: the overarching thing that my takeaway was, damn, I can't 198 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: remember the last NFL player's wedding that got this much 199 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: pub on social media. That felt like an event, and 200 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: it's weird. This is one thing that the NBA has 201 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 1: that culturally you don't get at baseball and the NFL 202 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: you just don't. But major NBA player, I mean Graymond 203 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: Green is a major NBA players. He's on the Warriors. Now, 204 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: if he was on Charlotte, he's not a major NBA player, 205 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: but he's on the Warriors, He's a championship winner, All Star, 206 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 1: All NBA Defensive Player of the Year, blah blah blah. 207 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: He has a wedding, he invites Lebron and Curry's there 208 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: and Jason Tatum's there, and it's like, well, this is 209 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: a scene. It's like a huge deal. And of course 210 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: all these blogs right about it. We'll talk about blogs 211 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: in a second, um. But the one guy who I 212 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: did not see in any pictures, and I text and 213 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,719 Speaker 1: one person I can't say who it is, but I 214 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: texted one person who would know was Kevin Durant there? 215 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: Because if you guys are on social media, you saw 216 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: allegedly Kevin Durant was working out with Jayson Tatum and 217 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: within the last four days out here in l A. Now, 218 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant also was recently traveling with James Harden, some rapper, 219 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: and they were going to see concerts. And I don't know, 220 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 1: maybe Kevin Durant was invited to dream On Green's wedding 221 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: but could not go. Maybe Kevin Durant did not get invited. 222 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that. I think it's 223 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: interesting though that the team he was on, the Golden 224 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: State Wars. Everybody was there from the last like five years. 225 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: The only guy, the only other guy didn't see was 226 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: Harrison Barnes, who basically ended up getting traded for Katie. 227 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: But nevertheless, Um, if you basically played for the Warriors, 228 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 1: you were there and it listen, I get the click 229 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: thing right. There's clearly like a cool click in the NBA, 230 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: like and there's some overlap, but players get along largely. 231 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: I for the longest time did not think Lebron and 232 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: Curry got along. After they went toe to toe in 233 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: the finals and had a couple of moments and Lebron 234 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: kind of disrespected Curry. Whatever, that's all water under the bridge. 235 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: On the court, you know, people get heated all the time. 236 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: If you guys play sports, you know this. Any even 237 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: if you don't, you gotta understand, like there's some dudes 238 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,680 Speaker 1: in between the lines where it's a different feel than 239 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: it is outside the lines. And it's clear Curry and 240 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: Lebron a friends. Um, but there seems to be like 241 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: a click in the NBA. And I don't think Kevin 242 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: Durant applies to the one that's like the cool one 243 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 1: with all these guys, Curry and Lebron and you can 244 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 1: put Draymond Green in there, and I'm sure there's other 245 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: other clicks, you know, maybe regionally in the league, a 246 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: lot of young players get together and hang out in summer, 247 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: and a lot of guys are out here in l A. 248 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: I just wonder Kevin Durant never really seems to fit 249 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: in anywhere. If he does force his way out of 250 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 1: the net, he will have played on what four different 251 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: teams in the last like seven years for a major, 252 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: high level superstar. Is that not a little bit odd? 253 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: Now I get the click thing because and I don't 254 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: know how much I've talked about this, maybe a little bit, 255 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: but there used to be like a blog click. I 256 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,199 Speaker 1: don't know how many of you guys followed me when 257 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: I was writing for the website, but I started this 258 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: blog the Big League back in like two thousand and six, 259 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: and it was like the blog heyday that two thousand six, 260 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 1: seven eight, when all these writers or wanna be writers 261 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,839 Speaker 1: were starting blogs and we were fighting against the mainstream media, 262 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: and we were all in this together. Let's fight the power, 263 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: let's take down new media. It was kind of an 264 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: us against them mentality, which was silly, but we were 265 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: all like banded together, like linking one another and all 266 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: that stuff. But at some point I realized, like, if 267 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing the same ship as everybody else and writing 268 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: kind of about the same topics, I'm never going to 269 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: get anywhere. You've got to separate yourself from the pack. 270 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: And that's when I started to interview media members. Um 271 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: now that I was doing the website anonymously, so nobody 272 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: knew who I was. I was just like the big 273 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: lead that was like who I was, and nobody really 274 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean a couple of people asked, I just didn't 275 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: really tell them, and I couldn't tell them because I 276 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: was still working at US Weekly and I wasn't making 277 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 1: any money on the blog. It was just, you know, 278 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: a hobby that I thought maybe had some legs. And then, 279 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: of course, you know, I was. I was dating this 280 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: girl who ended up being my wife. She was making 281 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: good money and she was like, yeah, quit your job 282 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: if you think there's something here, and I famously the 283 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: first paycheck I got and like the first month, basically 284 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: my wife and I buzzed through like three seasons of 285 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: the office in that first month that I left US Weekly, 286 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: and the first check I got was for like that 287 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: could cover a phone bill. It was like a hundred 288 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: nineteen dollars. Maybe I forget the number, but I mean 289 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: this was over fifteen years ago now, and eventually, you know, 290 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: things picked up pretty quickly. But um, when I separated 291 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: myself a little bit interviewing media members. Then the thing 292 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: I started to do after that was get written about 293 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: and like the l A Times mentioned me the New 294 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: York Post. I would break some stories here and there, 295 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: and again I'm not comparing myself to those other bloggers, 296 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: but I started to kind of have some sort of rise, 297 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: whatever that was, and then I kind of got um. 298 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: A company came to me was like, we want to 299 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: rent you with the option to buy after two years, 300 00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: and that gave me a lot more firepower. I had 301 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 1: more money. I started to hire a staff, and I came. 302 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: I came out, so to speak, Sports Illustrated and wrote 303 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: a piece about me, revealing who I was. I met 304 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: the guy uh He in New York City. He wrote 305 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: about me. And then, of course, once you make that 306 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: kind of leap, it was like all the bloggers in 307 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: the click did not like me anymore. Because now I 308 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: was in Sports illustrated newspapers. I was I was being 309 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: scoffed at, right. The guys who used to be friendly 310 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: with me when they didn't know who I was when 311 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: I was a little lowly blogger now don't really want 312 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: to hang with me. I always one of the things 313 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: that I preached to my kids two friends is trying 314 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: to be inclusive. Hey we're going to the beach. You know, 315 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: I'll send a text to a bunch of people. Maybe 316 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: nobody replies. Usually people reply, but maybe they don't come. 317 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm just putting it out there. Hey, we're gonna play 318 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: pick up, We're gonna do volleyball, We're gonna play basketball. 319 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: Who wants to go play? I try to be inclusive 320 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: to as many people and and link people up and 321 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: not like exclude people. Because you exclude people, you're just 322 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: being a dick. And these blogger clicks instantly just hated 323 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: my guts and did not like me. Um. I don't 324 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: know where it really any of them are now. I'm 325 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: sure some of them are still in the industry, but 326 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: I do know at least half a in who wrote 327 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: like kind of nasty things about me. Once the site 328 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: was sold, and you know, New York Times wrote about 329 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: the sale, it was like I was the biggest sellout. 330 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. I just wonder if there is a 331 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: vibe around Durant that he's not one of quote unquote us. 332 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: He left us Golden State to go play for Brooklyn 333 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: with that guy Kyrie Irving, who, by the way, left Lebron. Now, 334 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: I know that Lebron will say he and Kyrie are 335 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: good and blah blah blah blah blah. I'm just I've 336 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: never totally bought into that, you know, I haven't. Now, 337 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: maybe Kyrie ends up in in l a and him 338 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: and Lebron won a championship and I'm proven wrong. That's 339 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: fine whatever. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk 340 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: lineup in the nation.

I 343 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: wonder if Kevin Durant has kind of pigeonholed himself into 344 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 1: this spot where he doesn't have anybody. He's a and 345 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: without a team, He's a man without a fan base, 346 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: he's a man without a country. Like Kevin Durant is 347 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: not very well like now. Apparently, Mark Stein over the 348 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: weekend reported that Kevin Durant would sooner retire, retire, then 349 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: play for another team. This is according to some like 350 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: a name front office guy in the East, some nonsense, 351 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: and it feels like just total garbage, just hearing that, 352 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 1: like Kevin Durant, not even thirty four, is gonna retire 353 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: from the NBA, A guy who cares so much about 354 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,480 Speaker 1: his career and legacy and engaging with fans. Are you 355 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: kidding me? I heard that. I was just like no, 356 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant responded to it on Twitter. It's so 357 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: insanely stupid. Did he responded to it? And at times 358 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: I feel a little bad for Katie. I know he 359 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: doesn't really care about this, but yes, I will tag 360 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: him when the post goes up. I just wonder, like, 361 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: who's advising him? Is there a reason? Now? Maybe he 362 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,879 Speaker 1: got invited to Draymond's Green Did you didn't want to go? 363 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: Maybe he got invited to the wedding where all of 364 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: his buddies bunch of NBA guys, Or maybe he wanted 365 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 1: to avoid the drama, you know, maybe he wanted to 366 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,479 Speaker 1: continue to hang out with James Harden or Kyrie Irving. 367 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:14,719 Speaker 1: I have no idea, but just whatever is happening with 368 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: k D. It just it just doesn't feel great. You know. 369 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: It's one of those scenes where it's just like, gosh, 370 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: for such a superstar, he was the best player in 371 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: the league period. When he's with the Warriors, unstoppable, two 372 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: straight finals MVPs, they rolled people. And you know, you 373 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 1: could say that that the injury against the Raptors changed everything. Okay, 374 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,719 Speaker 1: I get that, you could say that a couple of 375 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: arguments with Draymond on the sideline changed everything. Okay, fine, 376 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: fair enough, but I still think leaving the Warriors to 377 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: go join forces with Kyrie Irving. Kyrie Irving, by the way, 378 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 1: I didn't see Kyrie in any of the pictures in 379 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: Draymond Green's wedding. Did not really see that one. And 380 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you have to like, there's no reason 381 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: Kyrie should be there. Maybe he's not friends with Draymond, 382 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't like him. I get it, But it's 383 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: just weird when you see so many guys from around 384 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: the league come together for a wedding and you know, 385 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: the baby Roddy Ridge is like it's like a cultural 386 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: event basically, and you've got other superstars who are not there, 387 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 1: and you think that k D and Draymond We're cool, 388 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: but I guess not. And I just I don't know 389 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 1: where k D goes from here because this Boston Celtics stuff, 390 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: you know. Like again, there was a photo of Tatum 391 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: and k D working out allegedly recent Um, like, is 392 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: Boston gonna embrace Kevin Durant? They just went to the finals. 393 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: First of all, they swept Durant in the first round, 394 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 1: but they just went to the finals with this team. 395 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 1: They were leading the Warriors, I think it was to 396 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: one in the fourth quarter with like six minutes left 397 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: before they melted and Curry took over. And now you're 398 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: gonna blow that up to bring in Kevin Durant, who, yes, 399 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: is incredible, But do we know where his head's at 400 00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: or where he's gonna be. He's jumping around teams. When 401 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: I texted someone about about k D, I got an 402 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: incredible response. I'll reader verbatim, the players love k D. 403 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: K D doesn't love himself, and that's kind of deep. 404 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: And I was wondering, like, Okay, you know, I'm sure 405 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: they like playing with him. Is he a good hang? Remember, 406 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: you guys have seen that movie. I think it's called 407 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 1: The Internship. Where they have what's called the layover test 408 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: when you're interviewing somebody. Would you want to sit next 409 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: to this guy on a bar stool when you have 410 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: a layover for a flight and and talk to him 411 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: for an hour or two hours? Is that somebody you 412 00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: want to be around now? From for as a basketball player, 413 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 1: hell yeah. For Kevin Durant, Oh my gosh, um, But 414 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: is he the kind of guy you'd want to spend 415 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 1: talking to for a couple of hours versus say Steph 416 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: Curry versus say, uh, is Aaron Rodgers closer to Kyrie 417 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 1: Katie territory than say, you know a Curry? And not 418 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: to keep leaning on Curry, I'll think of it an 419 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,359 Speaker 1: NFL player in a second, Tom Brady. Come on, of 420 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,719 Speaker 1: course you want to be hang out with Brady. I'm 421 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,959 Speaker 1: sure he's got stories galore and it's interesting. I just, 422 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: you just I never know what I'm getting from Durant. 423 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: And I've been one of the biggest Durant champions on 424 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: social media, So I don't want you guys coming after 425 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,959 Speaker 1: me saying, oh, why do you hate Katie? You know, 426 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,959 Speaker 1: I've been one of the biggest proponents of Kevin Durant 427 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: I just this latest behavior is just kind of troubling. 428 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,399 Speaker 1: I don't know where it's going with him. I know 429 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: it's August. It's kind of a dead period, Jason, You're 430 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 1: making a mountain out of a mole hill. He probably 431 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: got invited to the wedding and just didn't want to go, 432 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: and that's possible. Maybe he uh had a preplanned trip 433 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: to UM. I don't know, Argentina. I'm just throwing out anything. 434 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: It's any of that's possible. I just it's just tough 435 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: for me to see that those photos, and you know, 436 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: Lebron's son is playing in all these basketball tournaments everywhere 437 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: Lebron went and supported Draymond Green. It's it's it's weird. 438 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: I don't have an answer. Maybe k D doesn't love himself, 439 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: he didn't want to be around there UM and he's 440 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: got some stuff he needs to figure out. But we 441 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: all kind of do, right, I know I certainly do. 442 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: I haven't. I haven't not ready to talk about those 443 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,360 Speaker 1: yet on the podcast, but maybe one day. Ask for now, UM, 444 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,200 Speaker 1: we have a great guest coming up tomorrow and talk 445 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: a little college footie.
