7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 2: tire buying should be. So, Jeff, we were we were

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: watching very closely Game seven today Calves beat the Magic

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: and Donovan Mitchell how about that? He followed up a

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: fifty point performance in Game six with thirty nine points

11
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 2: today and that was enough. Polo Bancaro was really good

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: for the Magic, but just not enough. He had thirty

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: eight points, and the Calves move on and they're probably

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: gonna get smacked around pretty good against Boston.

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: I would suspect, yeah, that series is gonna be a

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 3: quick one. But nonetheless give him credit for gaining this

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: win because the first quarter looked like it was a

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 3: one of the worst, you know, home game seven performances

19
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: we've seen quite a long time, right, I mean, we

20
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: have a Game seven at home against a team like

21
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 3: the Magic that had one guy that can score, one

22
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: whole player that could score that one whole player had

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 3: I think nineteen first half points. Part of that was

24
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 3: I think he had twelve foule shots and like that

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: in the first half, a lot of foul shots in

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 3: the first half and then the second half. Is what

27
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 3: feels like a lot of NBA games where playoff games,

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: where the better team sort of takes over and the

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 3: Cavs just have a better team than the Magic. And

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: I think the important part to take away from a

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: lot of these series so far, Brian, is the importance

32
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: of having that difference maker, right ben Caro Mitchell. But

33
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 3: you also need a little bit of help outside of that.

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 3: It can't just be one guy, but that one guy

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 3: can get you pretty far. And a lot of teams

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: are searching for that one guy around the league right now,

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: and once you find it, your fortunes changed pretty quickly.

38
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: And in this game, we saw, you know, Ben Kerra

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: come out and I think I text you at one

40
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 3: point nineteen first half points and is his number was

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: only like thirty five and a half for the live

42
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: game thirty seven and you know what, thirty eight. He

43
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 3: barely got there. Some of it felt like a typical, yeah,

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: kind of home series, the home team wins, So why

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: you fight for home field advantage and home court advantages instance,

46
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 3: and the Cabs were the better team on their four

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 3: home games in the Magic were.

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of interesting. We always say styles make fights,

49
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: right obviously in boxing, but yeah, that's the same thing

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: in football. Basketball would have you you might struggle with

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: a certain style, it might be a tougher matchup for you.

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 2: But if you take that in a slightly different different direction,

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: I think rounds make fights as well. Where if you

54
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: look at the NBA playoffs, like you just said there,

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 2: Jeff having a special talent that might be good enough

56
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: to get you to the second round. Yes, that might

57
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: be good enough to get you to the conference finals,

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: but you got to have more ingest that to really

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: challenge for a championship. Yeah, and I think that's what

60
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna start seeing going forward. We're probably close to

61
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: seeing that with the Knicks, right with Julius Randall being out.

62
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 2: Jalen Brunton has been sensational, but you might start to

63
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: see that. Maybe not in this Spacer series, but if

64
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: they get to the Eastern Conference finals, sure you would

65
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: certainly see it against Boston.

66
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, it plays no defense I don't know if

67
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna matter very much, but because you see what

68
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: happens in a lot of these games is the role

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: players we know that's not surprised. They play better at

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: home than on the road. And so when you have

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: a situation where you have a Jalen Brunson, right, a

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 3: lot of times the Hearts, the de Vincenzos, they pay

73
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 3: a little bit, a little bit. You know, it's not

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: as good on the road, right, you can't rely on that.

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 3: And there are the times when those guys have incredible

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 3: games on the road, But the point is it's hard

77
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: to rely on that performance each and every night. That's

78
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: why again, home court advantage is important. And I think Indiana, though,

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 3: certainly has more ways to beat the Knicks. They have

80
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 3: more scores, more reliable scoring options. But I don't know

81
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 3: if you just beat the the Knicks, the toughness they

82
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: play with. Matt and Brunt said, I go with the garden.

83
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't know if they're gonna

84
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,920
Speaker 3: be able to do it, but you know that I'm

85
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: gonna watch. I'll tell you what. NBA playoffs, Brian, Yeah,

86
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 3: are so much fun to watch. I watch very little

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: regular season. I pay attention. I know what's happening, but

88
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: with what I do for work and whatnot, I watch

89
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: so much football it's hard to keep up. And then

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 3: March Madness happens and you're so focused on March Madness.

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: And when the NBA playoffs get here, man, these games

92
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: are even today it wasn't the prettiest game, but ended

93
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: up being the second half and it'd be really exciting.

94
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: And in these NBA games, these playoff games are just

95
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: good quality sports content.

96
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: No, it really is. And man, you talk about high

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: quality sports content. Last night, Anthony Edwards put on a

98
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: show for the Timberwolves. The man is only twenty two

99
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: years old. Jeff, Yeah, he's twenty two years old. He

100
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: scored forty three points last night against the Nuggets. Yeah,

101
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: and that's that. We were just talking about rounds, make

102
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 2: fights if you will, right, Like, you might need more

103
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 2: than just one special player to really have a deep

104
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: playoff run. But you looked at Anthony Edwards. He was

105
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: a one man show at least in the first half. Nasrid.

106
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 2: Some role players hit some shots in the fourth quarter,

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: but Anthony Edwards was the biggest part of their game.

108
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: One win and they took down the defending champs. That

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: was so impressive from Anthony Edwards. And to have that

110
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 2: guy where you're like, hey, we just need a bucket.

111
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: Just do what you do. I love that when they

112
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: just throw the star the ball and they're like, just

113
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: make it happen and he's like, all right, no problem,

114
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: here goes And.

115
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: I think part of that to the other star for

116
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: the Timberwolves their defense, yep, so that's like their second

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: star and the Nuggets just struggled to score in the

118
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 3: four quarter. I don't I don't watching the game, I

119
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: didn't feel like it was the Wolves defense. But I

120
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 3: think sometimes with defense, it's one of those things that

121
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 3: it does show itself in the fourth quarter, right when

122
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: when when you have been so physical all game and

123
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: you have really made the other team work really hard

124
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: for their shots, the fourth quarter tends to have the

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: shots a little shorts, which is where we saw a

126
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: lot in the fourth quarter. I thought for the Nuggets,

127
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 3: that's where it showed itself. And so I think that

128
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: even though it's hard to maybe see at times like

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: oh that wasn't a block shot, but a shot that's

130
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 3: short in the fourth quarter after a getting you know,

131
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: getting what a what a what? Charles Barklet's famously say,

132
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 3: bodies bang on you all game, you know it. I

133
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: think that's where you see it, and I think we

134
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 3: saw that with the Nuggets, where you have Edwards who

135
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: was unstoppable, and the defense and physicality of the Wolves

136
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,239
Speaker 3: kind of shocked the Nuggets. I was. I was surprised.

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 3: I was very surprised at the pace I came started

138
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: with and against the Lakers, if you were called, the

139
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 3: Nuggets were leading zero halftimes. I don't think they even

140
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 3: won a first quarter outside of one of the games

141
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: against the Nuggets they had that same formula. But it's

142
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: I guess it's a better team. I expect game two,

143
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: the Nuggets come out pretty hot to start, like they

144
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 3: can't start the way they did and expect to win.

145
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and this, like you said, it's been a trend,

146
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: right Like early in the first quarter, they were getting crushed.

147
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: It was like sixteen to four or something like that.

148
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: It was.

149
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: They ended up having a lead at the end of

150
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: the first quarter, which is pretty wild, especially if you

151
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: took the Nuggets minus one and a half in.

152
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: Which I did quarter, which was like most I need

153
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 3: that I had about three days last week where it

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: was it was, it was pretty much in the red.

155
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: So I got that one back. That was lucky. I

156
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: you know that happens.

157
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: We'll take it, man, We'll take all the luck we

158
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: could get.

159
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 3: I'm not saying no, I'm not giving money back.

160
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: But isn't that crazy where the Nuggets they kept on

161
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: trailing in the first half against the Lakers. Seemed like

162
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 2: they always were behind in the first half and then

163
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 2: they won for the five games they played the Lakers,

164
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: but they were leading the Timberwolves at halftime. They had

165
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: a four point lead. You're like, okay, slow start, They've

166
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 2: righted the ship. Everything should be fine. And then all

167
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: of a sudden, the fourth quarter rolls around and nas

168
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: Reed's banking in a three, and Rudy Gobert's banking in

169
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 2: a fifteen footer and the Timberwolves are shooting Jeff seventy

170
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: one percent from the field in the second half. That's

171
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: where I'm wondering, Like, Okay, I know Anthony Edwards is

172
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 2: for real. I know the Timberwolves defense is for real,

173
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 2: but how much of that game one win was fluky

174
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: enough where this isn't a sign of things to come.

175
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: In the series, Like, how often are they gonna be

176
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: able to shoot seventy one percent from the floor and

177
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: banked in threes and elbow jumpers from Rudy Gobert are dropping,

178
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: Like that's just not gonna happen regularly.

179
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that, which is sort of what

180
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: we saw a little bit today where the Magic were

181
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: out of their minds in the first half of that game,

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: and I took Cavs third quarter. I actually took them.

183
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: I ended up taking the Magic under their team total

184
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 3: in the second half and both hit because I just

185
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: didn't expect them to keep that up. The Wolves probably

186
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: can a little bit more. But look, the NBA is

187
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 3: sort of predictable in that if you get if you're

188
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: a good team like the Nuggets, and you have a

189
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: bad performance in Game one and the other team, to

190
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: your point, shoots out of their minds and you're at

191
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: home in Game two, you typically win that game, and

192
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: you win by ten to fifteen to twenty points. That's

193
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 3: the vibe of the NBA. Thisn't mean's gonna happen. I'm

194
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: gonna bet on it. By the way, I bet on

195
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: the Nuggets to win probably cover first quarter I'll bet

196
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: at all you Okich had a really bad start to

197
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 3: that game. I would imagine like first quarter points for him.

198
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna hit the over for that too. They

199
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 3: oil wagering for the NBA post season is not a

200
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 3: bad idea, but it's just that's what the NBA does. Now.

201
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 3: After they split this, I think they'll splay and then

202
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: it goes back to Minnesota. Then obviously it becomes a

203
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: much different game. You know, once Minnesota wins that first

204
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 3: home game.

205
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: You know, one thing, and this isn't you know, I

206
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: think you're on the right side of that. I would

207
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: certainly expect Denver to bounce back. But the one thing

208
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 2: I would throw out there is that I love that

209
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards and the Tea Wolves are greedy.

210
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 1: Right.

211
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: We saw this in the first round against the Suns.

212
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: They had a three to zero lead. You know, they

213
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: could have easily said, you know, we'll get him at

214
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 2: Game five at home. Yeah, the Suns are good enough.

215
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: They got a game whatever, they didn't do that. They

216
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: went out there, they were intense, they were greedy, and

217
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 2: they swept Phoenix. So I certainly expect the Nuggets to

218
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: bounce back. They're just that good, especially at home. But

219
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: the one thing in their way they are facing a

220
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,679
Speaker 2: greedy team that has a greedy superstar. And I mean

221
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 2: that as a compliment with is an absolute compliment when

222
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: you're greedy like that.

223
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 3: We always have the discussion in sports about who's the

224
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: next in the league, right, who's the next to take over?

225
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 3: And in the NBA, they've been sort of hoping they'd

226
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: find that next after Lebron and Curry as that they've

227
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 3: got older, right, even Durant to some extent, it's totally

228
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Anthony Edwards. Yeah, like it just you know, Yoga doesn't

229
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: want to be a superstar. He doesn't want I think

230
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 3: the spotlight that comes with and even though I think

231
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: he has a great personality, never really shows it right

232
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 3: at the Edwards I think he's that guy, right, Brian, Like, yeah,

233
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: he's the next guy, and obviously he's He's been in

234
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 3: a movie already, and he obviously has that personality to

235
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: be that superstar and sort of carry the league. And

236
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: I think he's that. I think I put money on

237
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: him being the next sort of face of the league

238
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 3: in four to five years when all those older guys

239
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: are just sort of done or on their last legs.

240
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 2: Man. That's the thing too, is Jamal Crawford. He mentioned

241
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 2: that toward the end of the game where Anthony Edwards

242
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: hit a bucket, and he didn't mention Jordan's name, but

243
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: that's who he was talking about. He was like, man,

244
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: what he just did right there on that move and

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: he'd hitting that little fade away. It looks awfully It

246
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: looks an awful lot like. And Reggie was like, say it,

247
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 2: say the man's name, and Jamal wouldn't, don't it.

248
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Donkey had in game four they side by

249
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,679
Speaker 3: side with Jordan. Oh yeah, against the Suns too, right

250
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: in the finals, and it looks awfully familiar.

251
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 2: I think that we've we're kind of like so guarded.

252
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: You know, how he gave Harold Miner the Baby Jordan

253
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: nickname didn't work out. I think we're so paranoid and

254
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: so guarded to any sort of MJ reference. None of

255
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 2: us are saying he's the second coming of Michael Jordan.

256
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,839
Speaker 2: We're just saying there are things that Anthony Edwards does

257
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: that look an awful lot like MJ. That's just the truth, man,

258
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: That's where we're at it this time.

259
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 3: Buddy. People refuse to like even like say, Lebron is

260
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 3: close to Michael Jordan. He's I think he's the most

261
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 3: talented player of all time, and then that means the

262
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: best player of all time. But I mean, dude's thirty

263
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 3: nine years old and put up you know, triple doubles

264
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 3: in playoff games, like, man, you got it? Like, so

265
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: I the we're afraid to do that where we're certainly

266
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: afraid to say Anthony Edwards has a fadeaway shot, it

267
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: looks like Jordan. But I'll tell you what, Man, that

268
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: was a Jordan performance to go on the road. Yeah,

269
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: playing that altitude, have no intimidation. That's an important part

270
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 3: of this, Like he is not intimidated by the moment,

271
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 3: and that's a that's a superstar quality right to be

272
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: in your biggest moment like this and go and give

273
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 3: it to the Nuggets. Now, the next step, obviously, is

274
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 3: doing in game two.

275
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, absolutely yeah, And I'm not.

276
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 3: Saying that that's going to make or break their success

277
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 3: in the series. But if he does in game two,

278
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: I think you're looking at, you know, an elite, top

279
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: tier superstar in the NBA moving forward. No, No, if

280
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: he doesn't do in game two doesn't make him not

281
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: a superstar, right, but if he doesn't Game two, I

282
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: think we're we can start making those Jordan S comparisons

283
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: if that's where we want to go with it.

284
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: That's especially if they like they win Game two, they

285
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: get greedy, if they mess around and win this series

286
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: and take down the defending champs. Yeah, that profile is

287
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger. But

288
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: he's special already. It's just a matter of how special

289
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 2: can he be this season and going forward we'll find out. Hey,

290
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: we got a lot to get to tonight. Of course,

291
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: ball is on our brain. Jeff and I huge football dudes,

292
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: so we'll be talking plenty of football right around the corner.

293
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: Let's get to this. This is the epitome of punching

294
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 2: down details on the way he is. Jeff Schwartz, I'm Brian.

00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: Listen to the Book of Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio app,

311
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 4: on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

312
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: I'm Brian No, he's Jeff Schwartz here on Fox Sports Radio,

313
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the tire rack dot com studios. So, uh,

314
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders in the news Jeff the head coach of

315
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: the Colorado Buffaloes here, So he is, He's punching down.

316
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: That's what's happening here. He is absolutely punching down. So

317
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 2: the story is, there was an article in The Athletic

318
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 2: earlier this week, and so when Dion Sanders initially got

319
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: to Colorado last year, he cleaned house right. He basically

320
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: told a lot of the current Colorado players, we don't

321
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: need you here we're bringing in better players. And a

322
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: lot of those guys were cut essentially and they had

323
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: to transfer, and so the story was about where they

324
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: ended up, where did they transfer to? And so it

325
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 2: quoted a few of the players. Xavier Smith was one

326
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: of the guys in this article, and he said a

327
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 2: couple of things like, hey, Deon, he neglected to get

328
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 2: to know his players. He destroyed their confidence, that sort

329
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 2: of thing. So there was a tweet that was posted

330
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: that looked at Xavier Smith's stats last year. Yeah, he

331
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 2: transferred to Austin b He had eight tackles and four

332
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: passes defended. And so Deon Sanders quote tweeted that and

333
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: just wrote loud Jesus, like what that's it? That's all

334
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: you bring to the table over here. And so that's

335
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: where we're at right now. I know you have a

336
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: lot of thoughts on this, Jeff, but to me, Cliff's

337
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 2: notes version, there's just not a lot of value in

338
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,239
Speaker 2: punching down like that. Yeah, it's a Pro Football Hall

339
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 2: of Famer. What good does it do to go back

340
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 2: and forth with the former player. It just doesn't make

341
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 2: a whole lot of sense to me.

342
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: So I said about a month ago off another story

343
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,239
Speaker 3: that Colorado was an unserious program. Colorad fans didn't like that,

344
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 3: in no surprise, who likes when you know you tell

345
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: your program is not serious about winning? But they're not.

346
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 3: And there's continued examples of them not being serious about

347
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: winning long term, even just winning this season. And this

348
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 3: is another example of the article that it's actually for

349
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 3: interesting right. They spoke with the transfers, and my takeaway

350
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 3: from the article was two things. One is that pretty

351
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 3: normal what Dion did. What Dion did is not unusual

352
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: at any school with a brand new coach. The volume

353
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: is a little a lot, the volumes a lot, like

354
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: it's more volume than we see other programs in the portal.

355
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: But the idea of cutting players not anything different than

356
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: what's happening in other collegetable programs. It's not anything different

357
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: than than the NFL. It read like the NFL, where

358
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 3: players that are at the bottom of the roster are

359
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 3: players that coaches ignore because they're going to be cut

360
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 3: or not part of the roster. You know, none of

361
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 3: that was newing and I even thought by the way

362
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 3: that it wasn't even a gotcha. It just was like

363
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 3: a guy saying, like you know, I just wish he

364
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 3: treated me nicer. Yeah, it wasn't even that bad of

365
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 3: a thing a story, but the reaction from it has

366
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: been a hundred times worse than the actual story, right, Brian, Like,

367
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 3: it wasn't just read the story, It wasn't even that bad.

368
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 3: So then his son gets on Twitter and mocks the player,

369
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 3: one of the players in the article. As you mentioned,

370
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 3: his dad gets on social media and says, I have

371
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 3: time for this today? Do you have time to recruit

372
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 3: high school players? You kind of need those guys. And

373
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:35,480
Speaker 3: so the thing that also strikes me as interesting about

374
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 3: this whole situation, I, for one, love Dion being in

375
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: the sport. It is so good for us in the

376
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: content business to have interesting people that we cover in

377
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 3: this sport. That, Brian, that is great for us. I

378
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 3: love it. I did pactual radio for so many years.

379
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 3: Packed a radio's long exists anymore. I love the Colorado

380
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 3: was interesting. It made my job easier, It made more

381
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: people want to listen to what I have to say.

382
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,719
Speaker 3: Those are good things. I don't know Dion at all.

383
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: I have no ill will to or Diane. Every time

384
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: I time about Colorado, everyone thinks that I hate Dion.

385
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 3: I don't, but they won four games. I say they

386
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: were four to eight last season, and the talk on

387
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 3: that program is like they're Georgia, and I give Dion credit.

388
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 3: We're talking about his four win team who had one

389
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: Pacteal Conference win, by the way, and had and had

390
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 3: one conference win the year before, okay, And they talk

391
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: with the energy of a program that has arrived in

392
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: the sport, and they certainly have not. Their win total

393
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: right now is five and a half in Las Vegas. Yeah,

394
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 3: five and a half. And also, you know, I see

395
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: people say and I look, I don't disagree with with

396
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 3: some of this, but you know, Dion was able to

397
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 3: do to Colorado, you know what no one expected him

398
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: to do, and and you know, he turned around a

399
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 3: one winning program to a four one program. When we

400
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: say things like that about college athletics, we're often referring

401
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: to a coach that has basically the former players still there.

402
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 3: That's a lot different now because with a transfer portal.

403
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: But last year's team was mostly dion guys. It wasn't

404
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 3: like they had a team of Carl Durrell's guys. Dion

405
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 3: added his son and Travis Hunter and called her to

406
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: day the entire team was mostly made up the guys

407
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: that he brought in, which by the way, are now

408
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,959
Speaker 3: out of the program. Their offensive line was not good

409
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: last season, Brian. They have five new offensive linemen for

410
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: the season with by the way, a first time offensive

411
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 3: line coach, and I think fill Loehold played with in Minnesota.

412
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 3: He might be great in his job, but you need

413
00:21:56,320 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: experience that position. With five new offensive linemen, they've had

414
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: seventy two players have signed in the portal out for

415
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 3: Colorado since they got there. Colorado has signed seventy two

416
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 3: players in the twenty twenty three cycle, So high school

417
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 3: and transfer portal sixty one percent are no longer on

418
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 3: the roster. You cannot build depth, you cannot build synergy,

419
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: you cannot build anything if your roster is completely turned

420
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: over year after year. And these are the things that

421
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 3: people like me who cover the sport, who cover recruiting.

422
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: I'm I love recruiting, mostly because my Ducks do really

423
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 3: good at it. But I follow a lot of recruiting.

424
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 3: And Dion can can get into homes with his obviously

425
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 3: his resume, his gold jacket, with his charisma and with

426
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: his energy, and he can kill high school recruiting Brian

427
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,360
Speaker 3: if he wanted to, and he's just not doing any

428
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 3: of it. Like it it's will it's like willfully not

429
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 3: doing everything you can to win. And that's why a

430
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: lot of us think they're unserious is because you have

431
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: a coach feuding with you know, a two hundred follower

432
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 3: Twitter accounts and instead of going on and pound the

433
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: pavement for high school athletes to make your team better.

434
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: No, yeah, good point.

435
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I just don't And again I don't think

436
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: it's I think they're gonna win six games this year.

437
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: And now he leaves with his son. I don't know

438
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 3: what the reason he'll give, but and then Colorado will

439
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 3: just kind of be stuck in there. You know, they're

440
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 3: in a better place than more a couple of years ago.

441
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 3: But they won four games last year and they got

442
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 3: worse throughout the season and now this year, heading into

443
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: this year, guys they have yeah, they have new players

444
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 3: on their roster. How many of those guys they get

445
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: in the spring portal like twenty that's not a portal

446
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 3: that we end up with a lot of superstars and

447
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: they have no depth. Brand new offensive line essentially, a

448
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 3: new offensive coordinator, new offensive line coach, new defensive line coach,

449
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: first time by the way, Delon coach Warrensapp has not

450
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 3: been a dlone coach before, as I mentioned, the first

451
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 3: time offensive line coach and a defensive coordinator who came

452
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 3: with credentials but never coached.

453
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 2: Collegortable for well, there's a lot going on there.

454
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: It's just a lot of noise for.

455
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, not a lot of women. Well, that's what I

456
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 2: want to get to next, the noise, because there are

457
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: a couple of directions to go in when it comes

458
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 2: to that. First, we want to welcome in Manzi Bilangos,

459
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,479
Speaker 2: who we always love doing yeah with her. Yes, And

460
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 2: I feel like the way Games five and six went

461
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: for your Clippers.

462
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 6: Yeah, thank you for that.

463
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 3: How I handled that segment left and thank.

464
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: You for that. I that sorry went down like that

465
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: Manzis it was.

466
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 6: No Yeah, I was really frustrating.

467
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 5: I said this yesterday that you know, I've been a

468
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 5: Clipper fan for a long time, so this isn't anything new,

469
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 5: but this definitely may have been the most annoying loss

470
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 5: that I've experienced, just because I felt like it was

471
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 5: Jekyl and Hyde and I didn't know what team was

472
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 5: going to be on the court, and at the end

473
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 5: when it looks like your team isn't even trying, like

474
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 5: they don't care, it's really hard to watch. Like you

475
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 5: saw the Lakers, Yeah they let go of leads, but they.

476
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 6: Were in it. They they wanted to win.

477
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 5: And the Clippers, I was like, the last game at Crypto,

478
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 5: do you even want to be there? Do you realize

479
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 5: that this could be the last game ever here at Crypto?

480
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 5: And then the last game it's like it's an elimination act,

481
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 5: like you care. And the only two players that look

482
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 5: like they cared the entire season or the entire series,

483
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 5: excuse me, were Norman Powell and Russell Westbrook, who had

484
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 5: struggled after Game one, but it.

485
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 6: Looked like they're the only ones who cared. Yeah, it

486
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 6: was very annoying. It was.

487
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: It's very annoying because one of the guys that you

488
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 2: pointed out that cares couldn't make a shot corner make.

489
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 6: Sure I know, I know, And so it's like even frustrating.

490
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 5: You feel bad for him because he wants he looks

491
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 5: like he's actually wanting it and trying, and it just wasn't.

492
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 6: Working for him. After Game one, very annoying.

493
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 5: Very frustrating, but you know, again used to it in

494
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 5: a way, so I know what's I don't know, guys,

495
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 5: I know, but.

496
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 6: I'll be back. Sorry, I'll be at into It Dome,

497
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 6: don't you worry.

498
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 5: I won't be on the wall though, because that looks

499
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 5: real steep, So I'll be there.

500
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 6: I'll be there, guys.

501
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 5: The Calves are moving on to face the Boston Celtics

502
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 5: in Game one of the Eastern Conference semi Finals that's

503
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 5: gonna start on Tuesday. They had a comeback win against

504
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 5: the Orlando Magic. At one point, they were down by eighteen.

505
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 5: At halftime, they were down by ten, but they came

506
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: alive in the second quarter. One O six one oh

507
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 5: six to ninety four was the final on the second half.

508
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 5: As what I was trying to say, One O six

509
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: ninety four was the final score. Donovan Mitchell thirty nine,

510
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 5: nine and five. They did take on Orlando, who's the

511
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 5: fourth youngest team in the league. Twenty four point three

512
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 5: is the average age, So you know, I think Orlando

513
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 5: did a pretty good job going all the way to

514
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 5: seven games. The NBA announced that Anthony Edwards technical foul

515
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 5: from the third quarter in Game one where.

516
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 6: He stared down.

517
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: Reggie Jackson was rescinded, Yes, one hundred percent.

518
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 6: I was like, that's so soft. He didn't do anything

519
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 6: and they rescinded it.

520
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 5: So that's good. In Major League Baseball. The nash have

521
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 5: retaken the lead over the Blue Jays. It's been back

522
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 5: and forth. Ten to eight is the score, bottom of

523
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 5: the seventh inning. The Royals on top of the Rangers

524
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 5: two to one. They're gonna start the ninth inning. The

525
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 5: Marlins yesterday lost to the A's twenty to four. Yes,

526
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: Oakland scored twenty runs, so the Miami Marlins trying to

527
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 5: do something. They're on top right now, five to two,

528
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 5: top of the sixth. The Dodgers. We've got some home

529
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 5: runs from Sho Hee, o Tani and Tho Scott Hernandez

530
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 5: and they are blanking the Braves four zero. Top of

531
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 5: the seventh. The Orioles are blanking the Reds four zero.

532
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 5: Top of the sixth. The Diamondbacks have extended their lead

533
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 5: over the Padres. It is seven to four, bottom of

534
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 5: the fourth inning. The Yankees game, they called it after

535
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 5: eight innings because of rain, but they officially beat the

536
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 5: Tigers five to two. Aaron Judge all Rise seventh tomer

537
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 5: of the season, but it was Juan Soto with the

538
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 5: three RBI double in the seventh that gave New York.

539
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 6: The lead and the finish back to you guys.

540
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Manzi with us here, it's us Jeff Schwartz,

541
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 2: Brian nough on Fox Sports Radio. We'll have, according to Monci,

542
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: in just about ten minutes here. So looking forward to that, Jeff,

543
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 2: you were talking about to months, right, that's right about

544
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 2: ten minutes from now. You're talking about the noise with

545
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: this Colorado program. Yeah, and there are a couple of

546
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 2: things with that if you rewind back, because I like

547
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: to do this, like how did we get here? How

548
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: did we get to where we are right here right now?

549
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: And if you look at Deon Sanders took over the

550
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: program and they beat TCU that first game of the year,

551
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 2: right TCU. They made it to the championship game the

552
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 2: year prior, of course they got smoked by Georgia, but

553
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 2: they made it to the championship game. So the first

554
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: game that you saw Dion Sanders on the sideline as

555
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: the head coach of Colorado, he won and that was

556
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: a huge upset. They were like twenty one point underdogs

557
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: and Dion it wasn't like this modest like, you know,

558
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: we're gonna build on this, and it was do you

559
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: believe now, Edwarder, you know, and looking back, TCU went

560
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: five and seven last year, you know what I mean.

561
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: I mean, so what it turned out to be, we'll

562
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 2: do a baseball comparison that would be like hitting a single.

563
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: It was a nice single, but he he pimped it

564
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: like it was a Grand Slam to win Game seven

565
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 2: of the World Series, you know, And so he touched

566
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: a nerve from the beginning, and there were a lot

567
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: of people that held onto that and let him know.

568
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: To your point, Jeff, they won one game in PAC

569
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: twelve play. Yeah, and so that's where we're at. That's

570
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 2: where I think that I don't want to make this

571
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: all Dion's fault, but Deon Sanders touched a nerve, and

572
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 2: like you said this piece in the Athletic, it really

573
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: isn't that bad. If you read some of the quotes

574
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: from the former players that had to transfer elsewhere because

575
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: Dion didn't want him there, it's not all just oh

576
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: that guy was the worst he was. It's like, yeah,

577
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: I wish he would have met with me and told

578
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 2: me I was off the team. But you know, stuff happens.

579
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 2: I get it. It's just funny that people on the

580
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: outside looking in oftentimes have a much bigger problem with

581
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders than the actual players who were cut by

582
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: Deon Sanders do. And that's very telling. You.

583
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: Look, people that are defending Dion will say, like, he's

584
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: out to change the game. Look, if he wins ten

585
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: games this year, I'll be wrong. Come tell me all

586
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: admit it. But what has he changed so far? You know? Brian? Yeah,

587
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: like you know the the refrain as again, well, they

588
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: lost a bunch of close games last year and the

589
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 3: year before they got blown out of a bunch okay,

590
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: but they also won a game by three, They won

591
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 3: a game by eight. I won a game by three.

592
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: So they three wins by basically a touchdown or less.

593
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: And they have one, two, three, four, three and four

594
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: in essentially one score games that you know, like that's

595
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: a normal season for teams to be five about five

596
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: hundred in those games. Like, I don't really know what

597
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: the argument is for this year. A big jumped ten wins.

598
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 3: He said his goal is a Bowl game. That that

599
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 3: feels managed. Well, I don't think it wins six games, Brian,

600
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 3: but it's just a lot of noise. And also too,

601
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: you know, in college football, a lot of times because

602
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 3: of the age of the players, right eighteen to twenty

603
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 3: two and obviously some older players, this will be the

604
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 3: last year of those COVID players, right, the COVID year

605
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: players that are older is you know, the emotions is

606
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 3: a huge part of the game. Right in pro sports,

607
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: we don't see the up and down motion that we

608
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 3: see in college boards because the players are mature, they're adults.

609
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: Right in college football, because of that, there are times

610
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: you play teams and you just can smoke them, right,

611
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 3: they already can feel that like you're going to beat them,

612
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 3: and they just sort of give up. You know, they're

613
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: going to get everyone's best shot every single game, absolutely

614
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 3: every single game. Everything that plays them is going to

615
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: play them like they play Georgia when it's to Ohio State. Yeah,

616
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 3: and I'm not saying that you cannot be very confident

617
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 3: about your program and your program success, but they don't

618
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 3: have the roster, yeah, to compete against teams that treat

619
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: that the super Bowl.

620
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 2: That's right, No, you're right about that, and that's the

621
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: weird thing to me. I like that Deon Sanders does

622
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: things to get attention, but I don't think he does

623
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 2: a good job of like getting all the fruit from

624
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: that labor, you know what I mean, Like recruit. Yeah,

625
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: he doesn't recruit. He's gotten all this attention and then

626
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: his attitude is like I'm not hard to find. It's

627
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: like they're not gonna seek you out. You have to

628
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: seek them out. And if you do, if you put

629
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 2: in that effort, he would absolutely be able to recruit

630
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: better than he does. That's what's strange to me. The

631
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: other thing, no, truly, Yeah, it's he's just not doing it.

632
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 2: But the one thing I don't want is to get twisted,

633
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: not just you and me, Jeff. But there are a

634
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: lot of comments out there Dion Sanders' job is to

635
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 2: win football game.

636
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: Correct.

637
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: Okay, Like if you read the comments section, Jeff, it's

638
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: littered with I would rather have my coach develop young men,

639
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: young men to be successful and whatever endeavors they do

640
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: later in. His job is to win football games. Okay,

641
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 2: So if he thinks he has a better chance getting

642
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 2: rid of the current players and bringing in his players,

643
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 2: I have no issue with that that's job number one.

644
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 3: I don't think anyone has a problem with that. It's

645
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: the other it's the other things that I think people

646
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: have an issue with. And I also think that for

647
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 3: a lot of us. And I'll basically steal this from

648
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 3: from Josh pat who mentioned I'm Josh paid, I should say,

649
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: who mentioned this idea of the Dion tax. Where it's

650
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 3: a bunch of people that don't really follow college football

651
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 3: that have become college football fans and they interject their

652
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 3: thoughts on college football, really on Dion in Colorado, and

653
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 3: they inject their thoughts on it, and it kind of

654
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 3: ruins the discourse, right because they overstate and overvalue what

655
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 3: happened last season in Colorado. So I'm gonna read this

656
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 3: to you and then we could uh maybe and this

657
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: I'm sure people. Three FBS Conference teams went one and

658
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 3: eleven and twenty twenty two, Right, one and eleven, Okay,

659
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 3: that that's Colorado, UCF in Northwestern. Okay. In twenty twenty three,

660
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: Colorado four and eight. UCF and Northwestern both made bowl games.

661
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was surprised about Northwestern.

662
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: But my point is, like what Colorado did from one

663
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 3: to four is good. Yeah, but it's not even as

664
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: good as Northwestern last year. Yeah, right, or UCF.

665
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: And that's the thing is, it's like, wow, news to

666
00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: me about UCF and Northwestern because they don't get half

667
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: the attention that Dion Sanders generates. And I love that.

668
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: It's just like take advantage of that, you know what

669
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: I mean, Like use that platform to recruit your butt

670
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 2: off instead of just like, yeah, I'm not hard to find,

671
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 2: you can reach out to me. It's like, oh, man,

672
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 2: found the pavement, you know. And that gets back to

673
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 2: your original point of you know, are they really serious

674
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 2: about this?

675
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 3: Yeah?

676
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,959
Speaker 2: And yeah, sure, that's where we're at with it. Okay,

677
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 2: we got a lot to do here, Jeff. According to Monsey,

678
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: that is it right there. You will hear that at

679
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 2: least three times. Coming up next, you'll have three hard hitting,

680
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: possibly hardcore opinions sports related. We'll get to that coming up.

681

Speaker 2: I'm Brian No, he's Jeff Schwartz. Hang with us right

00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: Know.

684
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the TIREC dot Com

685
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 2: studios here on Fox Sports Radio. It is time to

686
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: dive into this and.

687
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 6: For absolutely exactly break.

688
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 2: According to Monsi, hell, I guess it's that time. According

689
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: to Monci, do not. According to Monsett, don't you dare

690
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 2: sleep on Polo ban Caro.

691
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 5: And I apologize Plo van Caro that I may have

692
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: slept on you throughout the season. But I keep seeing

693
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 5: images pictures in the NBA. Oh, the future is in

694
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 5: good hands. And I see pictures of victor Ian Vanyama,

695
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 5: Shay Gilges, Alexander, Anthony Edwards. I even saw one with

696
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 5: Jahn Morant. None have Paolo ban Cao. Let me tell

697
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 5: you who has a real chance to be the face

698
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 5: of the NBA. Polo ban Cao, twenty one years old,

699
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 5: led the Magic all season in points, rebounds, assists. He

700
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 5: officially broke the record for the youngest player to score

701
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 5: more than twenty four points in a game. Seven he

702
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 5: broke Lebron's record. Today he had thirty eight thirty nine.

703
00:36:55,560 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 5: He is actually improving game by game, series by series. All,

704
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 5: Paalo ban Caro, duke, you know product that has been

705
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 5: through adversity, you guys.

706
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 6: Plo ban Caro is going to be a face of

707
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 6: the NBA. I'm saying it right now.

708
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: According to Monsei.

709
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: According to Monci, WNBA is in good hands.

710
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:17,919
Speaker 2: Guys.

711
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 5: The WNBA preseason just started literally like two three days ago,

712
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 5: and people were mad because only three games were available.

713
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 5: One of those games was Kaitlin Clark. Y'all, she's a

714
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: number one pick. She actually sold out the arena for

715
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 5: the first time where the Dallas Wings play.

716
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 6: Or yeah, the Dallas Way is the Dallas team.

717
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 5: Yes, they actually sold out because of Kitlin Clark. But

718
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 5: people were mad that the Chicago game where Camilla Cardoso

719
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 5: and angelriesar. Now was it being shown. Somebody streamed it

720
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 5: on their phone. They got over two million people to

721
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 5: watch this on the phone. Guess what the WNBA heard

722
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 5: Now they are going to stream the next Chicago Sky game.

723
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 6: So even though people were mad, this is a good thing.

724
00:37:59,000 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 6: This whole hype that.

725
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 5: But it's like it's not going to translate to the WNBA.

726
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 5: It's literally happening right now. It's a good thing that

727
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 5: people were mad.

728
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 6: It's a good people.

729
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 5: It's a good thing that people are talking about it.

730
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 5: The WNBA is moving in.

731
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 6: The right direction.

732
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 2: Let's go according to Monsey. According to Monsey, it is

733
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: time for the future.

734
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: Bring on the robot.

735
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,839
Speaker 5: Saw this yesterday in Major League Baseball. I should not

736
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 5: know who Ryan Blankney is. That is an umpire, and

737
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 5: I should not know who Jonathan Para is.

738
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 6: These two umpires ejected.

739
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 5: Yesterday Aaron Judge, for the first time, was ejected after

740
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 5: he disagreed on a strike call. All he did, guys,

741
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 5: he literally said something to the umpire as he was walking.

742
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 5: There was no confrontation. He didn't throw the bat nothing.

743
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 5: He just said something, started walking to the dugout and

744
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 5: they threw him out. These umpires don't understand that people

745
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 5: aren't not there for them. In the Bronx Boba, she

746
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 5: gets called the strike, he doesn't disagree, starts taking off

747
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 5: whatever he has on his ankle. The umpire is behind him.

748
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 5: He slams his helmet because he's mad, and he gets ejected.

749
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

750
00:38:59,040 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 6: What are we doing?

751
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 5: Why are we ejecting the stars of the game. We're

752
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 5: not there for the umpires. I shouldn't know their names,

753
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,320
Speaker 5: and here I am knowing their names. Bring on the

754
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 5: robot Empires.

755
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 6: It's time.

756
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: According to Monsey, all right, according to Mancy, the shoe

757
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: game needs.

758
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 3: To be fixing.

759
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 5: Yes, Bo and I are very upset about the shoe game.

760
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: Fellas.

761
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,439
Speaker 6: If you want a new pair of Nikes.

762
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 5: Jordan's, Kobe's whatever, you got to go through these stupid

763
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 5: apps and you're fighting bots, You're fighting people who don't

764
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 5: really want the shoe, they just want to resell it.

765
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 5: I am over this. Remember back in the day when

766
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 5: you used to have to get in line five six

767
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 5: am to go get your shoes.

768
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 6: That's what I want to do. I want to go

769
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 6: get in.

770
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 5: Line at the mall at six in the morning so

771
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 5: I could get my pair of shoes instead of fighting.

772
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 6: People on the app or these stupid butts. I'm over it.

773
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 6: I'm over it.

774
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 2: The people long for the East bake catalog once more. Yeah,

775
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: what oh sneakers to hell?

776
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 3: New Balance dot Com? Very easy, very simple, guys.

777
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: How often do you go there, Jeff.

778
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 3: New Balance dot Com? Yeah, I know every few months

779
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: of my shoes get the worn out or get a

780
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,280
Speaker 3: new pair of new Balances.

781
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: I thought we're talking about a different shoe game because

782
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: shout out to my nephew Mini Matt. He got married

783
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: yesterday and we did the shoe game. I didn't know

784
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: if have you seen that at weddings bore?

785
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you they pick who is who's the answer, right,

786
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 5: They're like, yeah, who's messier?

787
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: And then you pick right right, Yes, that's exactly what.

788
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 2: So I thought you were talking, like, what are the

789
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: odds that you're talking the next day? But it's about

790
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 2: about a different kind of shoe game, all right? Coming

791
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: up next? Is it a comeback or is it Tom

792
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 2: Brady two point zero that's on the way a comeback

793
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 2: or a publicity stunt. We will get to that here.

794
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: Momentarily we were broadcasting live from the tire rack dot

795
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 2: Com studios. Ti rack dot com will help get you

798
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be. All right, Jeff so

799
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 2: JJ Watt did not realize we'd be talking about ja

800
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 2: J Watt. The man had one hundred and fourteen and

801
00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 2: a half sacks in his ten year NFL career, easily

802
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 2: a first ballot Hall of Famer, and yesterday he was

803
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 2: hosting his annual charity softball game in Houston, Okay. And

804
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 2: so there was a question about, Hey, JJ, what do

805
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 2: you think about a comeback? I was like, wait, what,

806
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: this is what JJ Whitte had to say about that, Jeff, I.

807
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 7: Mean I told Demico last year. I said, don't call

808
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 7: unless you absolutely need it. But if you ever do call,

809
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,280
Speaker 7: I'll be there. And he knows not the call unless

810
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 7: he absolutely needs it. This is the last year I'll

811
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:38,959
Speaker 7: tell him that because I'm not going to keep training

812
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 7: the way I've been training. But he knows that if

813
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 7: he ever truly does need it, I'll be that farm.

814
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 7: But I don't anticipate that happening. They got a very

815
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 7: good crew.

816
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 2: Okay, doesn't anticipate that happening. One little, last little mini

817
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: cut here about he hopes that is not the case.

818
00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: Check this out.

819
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 7: I hope everybody stays extremely help and they dominate and

820
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 7: they don't need any other bodies, and then I just

821
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 7: get to watch and enjoy it.

822
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: From the couch. Okay, uh you, Jeff, Yeah, let's throw

823
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,400
Speaker 2: it to you first. You're the former NFL player. I

824
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 2: have my theory on this, but what do you think

825
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 2: after hearing this from JJ Watt.

826
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: I would like to let every team know I'm also

827
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 3: available to come in and play if you like.

828
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 2: Limited time available, huh. I'm not gonna keep working out

829
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 2: like this for nothing, though, it's gonna be this year

830
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: and no year.

831
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 3: I think a lot of players struggle with being done

832
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: with football, right. A lot of times football is done

833
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 3: with you before you're done with football. And you know,

834
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 3: for me and my situation, I was fortunate in that

835
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 3: football was sort of try to be done with me

836
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 3: for many years in a row, and I kind of

837
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 3: defied defied that with all the injuries that I had,

838
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 3: and you know, I was when when I was done,

839
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 3: I was done. There was nothing left I had. My

840
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 3: body was told me it was done, and I'd played

841
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 3: my career. I'd don't what I wanted to do when

842
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl, I wish I would have done it,

843
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: but it was I was done, And I also started

844
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 3: planning my next career in media. I've been I've been

845
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 3: doing some media in New York and sort of knew

846
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 3: what I wanted to do. And just thing is that

847
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 3: what has media has a mediate job already like he is,

848
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 3: he is in better situation that a lot of retired

849
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: players are. He has a next job, he has something

850
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: to do immediately after he's done. That's often the case

851
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 3: with Hall of Fame type players like JJ Watt and

852
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 3: so but again, players who have played football all their lives. No,

853
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 3: I did not. I played baseball high school. I play

854
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: basketball high school. Football is my third sport. You know,

855
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 3: I was not a you know, I love football. It's

856
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: my favorite thing ever, but it never defined sort of

857
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,839
Speaker 3: who I am. And I think sometimes, you know, these

858
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 3: are all reasons why players like Watt still and Tom

859
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 3: Brady still talk about, you know, maybe maybe I could

860
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 3: still do it, maybe I could still do it. And

861
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 3: that's the thought process I think behind some of these

862
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 3: players that just can't give it up, you know, some

863
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: of it. I don't think Watt does it for attention.

864
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 3: I don't. I think Tom Brady does that a little

865
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 3: bit for attention. But I don't think Wat's that and

866
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: that type of guy. But like it's buddy, it's done.

867
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 3: And I don't know how many times it's over. You're

868
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 3: not playing the NFL anymore, and no matter how many

869
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 3: times you say you want to do it, it's just

870
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 3: the NFL. You're done. Like you're you'll be in the

871
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame quite soon, three years from now, and

872
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 3: you'll get a gold jacket and that'll be your your legacy,

873
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 3: is that your Hall of Fame football player? And he

874
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 3: definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame.

875
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I saw it pretty much the same way.

876
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: I think it's just hard to find the next high.

877
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: That's really what it comes down to is think about

878
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: the high of being a star in the NFL, like

879
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 2: that Tom Brady level, where you are in the limelight,

880
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: you are a star, you're getting attention. It's hard to

881
00:44:55,920 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 2: feel that juice somewhere else. JJ Watt was a star

882
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 2: in the NFL, and you're not gonna feel that same juice.

883
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: Like doing your opinion, sharing your opinions on CBS on

884
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 2: the pregame show. That's like going as a star player

885
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 2: to doing studio work. That's like going from a hardcore

886
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 2: street drug to like, hey try this, it's Odul's you

887
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 2: know what I mean. Like, that's not gonna be the

888
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: same high at all. And the other thing is not

889
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: just the hyats. You love the game, like Tom Brady

890
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: and jj Watt, they loved football, especially Tom Brady, not

891
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,959
Speaker 2: having to go through the wear and tear the same

892
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: way that JJ Watt did. But I think it's easier

893
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 2: to love when your body is not just betraying you

894
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 2: and you're having to go through all these surgeries and

895
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 2: aches and pains, and you can love it even more

896
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 2: that way. It's hard to give that up. And I

897
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 2: think there's just this little voice in the back of

898
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: your head that says, hey man, maybe I'm not done yet,

899
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 2: and that helps you cope with it a little bit better.

900
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just know it's hard to turn

901
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: the page from a star started pro career to the

902
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 2: next chapter. That is not easy to do at all.

903
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 3: It's not. But again, he has a next job. A

904
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 3: lot of us would kill to have a job with

905
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 3: with CBS, you know, sports immediately after after you're done playing, right,

906
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: And he so he has that next that next job already.

907
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 3: And again I think, look, it's not unique to just watch,

908
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 3: but a lot of a lot of players who again

909
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 3: their identity becomes football player. That's it's just hard. It's

910
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 3: hard for them to move on. And it's what sounds

911
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 3: like with him. I think also to maybe at a

912
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 3: charity event, you're you're more willing to just sort of

913
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 3: say like, yeah, you know, may maybe I'm still gonna

914
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 3: play for the crowd. That's you know, that might be

915
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 3: part of it. You can sort of play into the

916
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 3: crowd and whatnot. But yeah, he's not playing anymore this season.

917
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 3: I mean, he's already looks like he's lost a bunch

918
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 3: of weight, which a lot of players obviously do in retirement.

919
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 3: So I I don't expect him to play for the

920
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 3: for the Texans.

921
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't either. And that's the thing though, too, is

922
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 2: it might be a bit irrational to even still have

923
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 2: that voice where he's literally told Demiko Ryans. They were

924
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 2: teammates for one year, right It was Demiko's last year

925
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 2: as a linebacker for the Texans, and that was JJ

926
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 2: Watt's rookie season, so they were teammates for a season.

927
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,959
Speaker 2: But he has told Demko, like he explained right there,

928
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 2: I told him last year, if you need me, if

929
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 2: you really really really really need me, I got you.

930
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm still working out like crazy. You know,

931
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna keep working out like this in case

932
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 2: the phone does ring, But think about it, Jeff. They

933
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: got daneil Hunter in the offseason. They traded for him.

934
00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 2: They picked up Denico Autry, who had eleven and a

935
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: half sacks last season. Will Anderson Junior was the number

936
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 2: three overall pick, so they got a lot of pass

937
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 2: rushers over there. I don't know that the phone's gonna

938
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 2: be ringing, but it's hard to give that up. Something

939
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 2: else that it makes me think of is we haven't

940
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 2: yet seen the part time player, you know, the aging

941
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 2: veteran that he'll make. We talked about this with Gronk

942
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 2: a lot, like, Hey, maybe Gronk's not done. He'll be

943
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 2: there from maybe the final two to three regular season

944
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 2: games and be around for a playoff push. And it

945
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 2: didn't happen. You think that could happen sometime in the

946
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 2: near future. Or a Gronk type player, a JJ Watt

947
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 2: type player, someone who's at the very end and they

948
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: just give you this little stint toward the end of

949
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: the season.

950
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think it's with the Chiefs. Hope they deal

951
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: with Travis Kelce.

952
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 2: This season, Like, but he there in one right, Yeah.

953
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 3: Hey dude, man, like just be ready for Week seventeen,

954
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 3: you know, like just just be healthy for the playoffs.

955
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 3: Obviously it's not that simple, but I mean that's certainly

956
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 3: for older players. That's I think what the team hopes, like, Hey,

957
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 3: can we get by with the minimal amounts from you?

958
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 3: Would you do what you have to do to get

959
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 3: ready to play in the postseason. I mean that's I

960
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 3: think the dream for like the Chiefs this year, it's like,

961
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 3: we can do as little as possible with Travis kelce

962
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: early in the season so that he's ready to play

963
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 3: in the postseason. Because look, it's why they drafted another

964
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 3: tight end. I mean, Travis Kelcey is near the end.

965
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 3: I don't know how you want to phrase that, but

966
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 3: you know, it's probably closer retirement than not, you know.

967
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: And I think the Chiefs would love if the setup was,

968
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 3: hey man, like, we'll just get you through the regular

969
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 3: season as easily as possible, and then the postseason you're

970
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 3: ready to go. Because we saw in the postseason right

971
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 3: when he had the weeks off to play the Dolphins,

972
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:28,919
Speaker 3: remember he took Week seventeen, a week eight team off,

973
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 3: and then for the Super Bowl, those two games were

974
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 3: his best games in the season. He looked the best

975
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,839
Speaker 3: in those two games, the freshest in those two games. Yeah,

976
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 3: that is no coincidence for that, and I think the

977
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 3: Chiefs would love for that to be the case, right like,

978
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 3: hey man, again, we will you know, we'll take care

979
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 3: of you, and then the postseason you're ready to shine

980
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 3: for us.

981
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I'm a little different than you

982
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 2: on that because they gave him that two year extension

983
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 2: highest paid tight end in football.

984
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 3: I think they just redid his deal. I don't think

985
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 3: gave him actually extra years.

986
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: Did they just reworked it a little bit.

987
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: I think it was reported incorrectly. Yeah, I think they.

988
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 3: I think they actually just gave him more money over

989
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 3: the next two years. I don't think gave him a

990
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 3: two year.

991
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,200
Speaker 2: Extension, but he's still the highest paid Yeah.

992
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. But my point is, I think you're out

993
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 3: of this essentially like twenty twenty five. I mean, I

994
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 3: think that's his last year of this deal.

995
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 2: I think that I hear you what you're largely saying.

996
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 2: My thing is they're hoping he's more than just a hey,

997
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 2: crank it up for the final couple of games of

998
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 2: the regular season, will be there for the playoff push.

999
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 2: You know, he's not at that stage yet. You're right.

1000
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: That's what I'm wondering is could we see that sometime

1001
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 2: in the near future where there's a guy like JJ

1002
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: Watter someone like that, where it's like, just give us

1003
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 2: five weeks. Yeah right, I.

1004
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,720
Speaker 3: Mean, didn't Gronk do that for the Patriots? In eighteen,

1005
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 3: really the Super Bowl year. I mean Von Miller with

1006
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 3: the Rams a couple of years ago in that trade, like,

1007
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 3: hey man, we just need everything you got for the

1008
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 3: postseason run and obviously got hurt. Hasn't been the same

1009
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: player since Joe Flack this past year. Has that like

1010
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 3: a Joe Foccon situation?

1011
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little, a little bit, Yeah, yeah right. I'm

1012
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 2: just I'm waiting for that time where you know, Gronk

1013
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 2: has not played all year, Yeah, right, and he is

1014
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 2: literally activated for the last couple of regular season games

1015
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 2: and the playoffs. We haven't seen that yet, and I

1016
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 2: don't think we're that far away from seeing someone like that, Brian.

1017
00:51:24,040 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 3: I think it's just it's too hard just to show

1018
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 3: up in the middle of the season to be ready

1019
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 3: to play.

1020
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: And there's that part of it too.

1021
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the biggest, the biggest issue here. It's not

1022
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 3: that it can't be done, but oh, okay, you know

1023
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 3: what I just rack. I found an example, you ready,

1024
00:51:39,080 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 3: h Eric Weddle with the Rams. Yeah. Eric Weddle showed

1025
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 3: up in Week seventeen.

1026
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 2: I think that's a good one.

1027
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 3: And he eventually tore his pack in the Super Bowl

1028
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 3: because he wasn't. He just is thirty eight years old

1029
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,440
Speaker 3: and showed up in Week seventeen. But he gave him

1030
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 3: exactly what they needed. They needed that they need from one.

1031
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 3: He played the rest of the Super Bowl. He was

1032
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 3: fantastic in the postseason. That's what you're talking about, right,

1033
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 3: show up at seventy eighteen. I think the positions where

1034
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 3: it's easiest to do are on defense, So like pass rusher, safety, right,

1035
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 3: maybe running back. You know, like you just sign Adrian

1036
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 3: Peterson at the end of the season and you let

1037
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 3: him roll. That's probably the easiest pusiness to do that.

1038
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 3: I don't off it's a line be too hard.

1039
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 2: Quarterback could be quarterback, no chance, Yeah, very tough. It

1040
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,919
Speaker 2: goes back. This is something the late Al Davis said

1041
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 2: to how We Long, Like how he Long had retired

1042
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 2: as a member of the Raiders, and you know, he

1043
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: Al Davis approached him, was like, you know, just fifteen

1044
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 2: rushes a game, you know, fifteen pass rushers, you'd shock

1045
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 2: the world. Come back, and how he Long explained he

1046
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 2: is like, for a second, I thought, you know what,

1047
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: maybe and he's like, you're crazy, You're out of your mind.

1048
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 2: I can't do that, right, now are you insane? But

1049
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 2: I'd say it like, look, man, we're about to have

1050
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 2: eighteen games in the not too distant future. That is

1051
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 2: going to happen. It's just a matter of time. I

1052
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 2: wonder how far away we are from the truly part

1053
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 2: time players that are not trying to grind through an

1054
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 2: entire eighteen game season, and they're trying to you're activating

1055
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 2: a veteran for the last push. I don't know, man,

1056
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 2: I think there's something there that could could happen. It's

1057
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 2: on my radar, Jeff, That's all I'm saying.

1058
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,239
Speaker 3: Look, I don't think it's impossible. I just think that

1059
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:36,359
Speaker 3: the if you desitate a roster spot for this exact thing,

1060
00:53:37,560 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 3: I think teams will be open to doing it. But

1061
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: they're surely not going to keep someone on the roster

1062
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 3: who's not going to play for them until the end

1063
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 3: of the season. Yeah. Now, there have been cases, I'm sure.

1064
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know off the top of my

1065
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,919
Speaker 3: head besides the Wettle one, But I mean there's guys

1066
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 3: that have missed big chunks of the season and come

1067
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,839
Speaker 3: back for the postseason and been very helpful for their teams. Right,

1068
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 3: But that's injury related, right, right, I mean the argument,

1069
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 3: like you know, the pain Manning Super Bowl season with

1070
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 3: the Broncos. He was out for half that season and

1071
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:10,360
Speaker 3: then came back at the end and did enough to

1072
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 3: win them the Super Bowl. It wasn't wasn't his best

1073
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 3: of the best paying name we've ever seen, but they

1074
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 3: won the Super Bowl. So we've seen some of that.

1075
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 3: I think of a tiny, small convluted sample size.

1076
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 2: By the way, who was the lineman from the Giants

1077
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 2: from Syracuse who was activated.

1078
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 3: And last year?

1079
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 2: Yes, Justin few He was playing against the Bills right

1080
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 2: in that that primetime game, and that was his Sunday

1081
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 2: night football intro. Right, he was like Justin Pugh straight

1082
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 2: off the couch. Yeah, like you know, it has happened

1083
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 2: in different instances before. I just wonder if we're going

1084
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 2: to see that, you know, right there for the postseason

1085
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: ramp up right there. I'm trying to find the Oh yeah,

1086
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 2: here you go, here's ther Justin Pugh thing.

1087
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 3: Justin Pugh straight off the couch.

1088
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 2: That was his Sunday night intro.

1089
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 3: So, I mean he was he went right from the

1090
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 3: couch to the Giants. Yeah, that's that was impressive. I'll

1091
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 3: tell you that all.

1092
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,040

1108
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: Canelo. Nice performance last night, Jeff, you know, took his

1109
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 2: time and then just took his opponent apart. At Canelo,

1110
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 2: he's he's way more powerful than he gets credit for him. Man,

1111
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 2: that dude hits hard, hard and he moved on. So

1112
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 2: heck of a career by Canelo. Man over sixty wins

1113
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 2: now craziness. You a fight fan at all, Jeff No.

1114
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 3: The next the next fight I might watch is Tyson Paul.

1115
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 2: I will watch that too, might I might know.

1116
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 3: It's funny because my radio co host on Sirius as

1117
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 3: MMA fighters retired now, but he calls the PFL fights

1118
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 3: on ESPN and Sean O'Connell and like, so I should

1119
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,120
Speaker 3: be a big fight fan. I watch when he's on

1120
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 3: just because I want to support him, but like I don't.

1121
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 3: I just it's not It's not my thing. Man. I've

1122
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 3: never been a boxing and the only fight I ever

1123
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 3: watched start to finish was his fight like four years

1124
00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 3: ago when he won a million dollars and the tournament,

1125
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 3: the PFL tournament and MSG's awesome. So only fin I

1126
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 3: watched out there. It's like it ended being three rounds.

1127
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 2: I love fighting, man, I love boxing. I enjoy MMA.

1128
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm not as big of a UFC fan as I

1129
00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 2: am boxing, but I do. I enjoy UFC stuff.

1130
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 3: I have this Basically my brain is full of sports, okay,

1131
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 3: but I don't have the room to add more. I

1132
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 3: would love to add WWE back into my life, which

1133
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 3: I watch like the Attitude Era as a as a teenager,

1134
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 3: right sure, yeah. I love to watch every time I

1135
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 3: stick the WrestleMania the Undertaker coming back like that, it

1136
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 3: looked like the most fun. Everyone I knew who watches

1137
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 3: wrestling loves wrestling. I don't have time to add that

1138
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 3: back to my life.

1139
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, man, I hear you. I think

1140
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 2: what you have to do if you do have any time,

1141
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 2: you gotta go out somewhere and be around the crowd.

1142
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 2: There's nothing like it. Like, for instance, we were in

1143
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: New Orleans last week when it was the Ryan Garcia

1144
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 2: Devon Ainy fight in this place we just went. We

1145
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: were just out and about and there was a sports

1146
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 2: bar that had it and it was crawling with people

1147
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: and the hype you know, of this fight and how

1148
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: crazy it was. Devin Haney got knocked down three times.

1149
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 2: I got down knockdown more than that, but knockdown three

1150
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 2: times officially, and it was one of the strangest fights

1151
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Ryan Garcia, it was some of the

1152
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 2: best fighting I've ever seen, some of the worst fighting

1153
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. And now you get the drama on

1154
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,919
Speaker 2: top of it where he tested positive for peds and

1155
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 2: Devin Haney Now was like, yeah, no, I'm not interested

1156
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 2: in a rematch. It's like, how can you not be

1157
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 2: interested in the rematch. I want to hear a fighter

1158
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 2: say if he's not cheating, yes, put him in the

1159
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 2: ring and I'll kick his ass. That's what I want

1160
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 2: to hear. But Devin Hainey was like, no, I'm not interested.

1161
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 2: I'm over it.

1162
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, then I have to be in a crowd.

1163
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 3: So that's the problem them. I could just you know,

1164
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 3: watch sports.

1165
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: At anti crowd.

1166
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 3: Huh uh, it depends. I just the problem with the

1167
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 3: crowd stuff is like sometimes it's just I just can't

1168
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: stand like what sort of.

1169
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:20,919
Speaker 2: People say, yeah, yeah, you know you're not a fan

1170
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: of people asking for penalties during football games?

1171
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,800
Speaker 3: Certainly not. No, that's a that's that's a that's a hard.

1172
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 2: Pass for me on that you don't like.

1173
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I was, you know, when I was in

1174
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 3: Buffalo for the Bills game. It's just yeah, it's a

1175
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 3: hard pass for me. Dog. It just yeah, I mean, look, certainly,

1176
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 3: like when you are playing craps, you would love to

1177
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,360
Speaker 3: play with a hot title.

1178
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 2: So that's the same idea.

1179
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 3: Obviously as watching sports with a hot crowd. But it's

1180
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 3: just something I just would rather not have to leave

1181
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 3: the house to do that. So, yeah, I haven't got

1182
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 3: into to boxing or MMA, really wrestling. Yeah, I just

1183
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll have to do some soccer probably for work,

1184
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:12,320
Speaker 3: some World Cup, you know, some World Cup action for work.

1185
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 3: I do some UFL for work. But yeah, it's hard

1186
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 3: to get into other sports right now.

1187
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 2: You know, it's fun. I got a question for you.

1188
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 2: Do you ever have you have to have something betting

1189
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 2: wise where a bet didn't work out and then going

1190
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 2: forward you're like that freaking guy lost that bet? For me,

1191
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 2: do you have I don't know if it's the scorpio

1192
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 2: in me that just holds onto this, but I'll give

1193
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 2: you an example. Freaking messy Linel Messi is the best

1194
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 2: soccer player in the world. Arguably. Some people think he's

1195
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: the best of all time. He's certainly on the short list.

1196
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 2: But I'll never forget, Jeff, I don't know how to

1197
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 2: bet soccer. But the World Cup was going on not

1198
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 2: that long ago, and I'm watching a game live and

1199
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, Argentina is clearly going to score the

1200
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 2: first goal. I think they were playing Poland, and I'm

1201
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 2: like they're definitely going to score the first goal. So

1202
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 2: I bet on that, and then I looked closer at

1203
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 2: the fine print and I'm like, oh shoot, I bet

1204
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 2: on to score the first goal in the first half.

1205
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's different. I wasn't intending to bet on that.

1206
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 2: Fast forward. Messi has a penalty kick in the first half.

1207
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: My girlfriend's like, you ready to win. I'm like, I'm

1208
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: ready to win, and he just skies it right over

1209
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 2: the net. And so every time Messi is being his

1210
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:31,520
Speaker 2: normal Stutley self, I'm like, stupid Messy. He wasn't there

1211
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 2: when I needed him and he airmailed it over the net.

1212
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 2: Do you have that you do that in betting as well?

1213
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 3: Uh? Well, like, I mean more senior today can help

1214
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 3: me and you with the rebounds there. But uh oh no,

1215
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 3: not specifically. I don't think where I remember a certain

1216
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 3: player or there's so many wagers I've lost that obviously

1217
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 3: I've been upset about and whatnot, but not not a

1218
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:04,280
Speaker 3: player or person that I I refuse to bet Like

1219
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 3: Falcons games, they always lose. So there's not like a

1220
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 3: player who I think or a person where I just

1221
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 3: won't bet on them.

1222
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm just a madiac man, I don't know.

1223
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 2: It's something about betting where you're almost you're you're as

1224
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 2: close to a guaranteed win as possible, and then if

1295
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,600
Speaker 5: You know, I've done it very little and I'm not

1296
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 5: very good, So I no one, no.

1297
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 3: One, No one's good.

1298
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's frustrating, Like it's hard to like not want

1299
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 5: to go big, you know what I'm saying.

1300
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 6: When I'm in Vegas, it's a problem.

1301
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 5: Like I can sit at a table let blackjack, like

1302
01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 5: all of it, and I'll be.

1303
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 6: There for hours. And so maybe it's a good thing that,

1304
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 6: like I haven't had.

1305
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 5: Success in sports betting because I think I would really

1306
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 5: dive into it.

1307
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 2: Man, Manti, I could see you reacting very similarly the

1308
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 2: way to being emotional.

1309
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:15,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the worst.

1310
01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1311
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 3: You have to be able to detach your emotion from

1312
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:19,000
Speaker 3: your wages.

1313
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 2: I can't do that.

1314
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's not great.

1315
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 6: I know my problems.

1316
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 3: I am. I was just in Vegas recently, and I'm

1317
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 3: much better at sports wager and then playing craps like

1318
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,600
Speaker 3: it just kind of frustrates me. We're like, at least

1319
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,640
Speaker 3: at least have a chance, like when I you're on

1320
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 3: sports you know, like I have a thought process. Craps

1321
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 3: is just like I just lose the money immediately, you know.

1322
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 3: It's so frustrating. It's it's just like it's so frustrating.

1323
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 2: I'll never forget. Man. Jeff, we did the thing for

1324
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 2: you know, countdown to kick Off, Yeah, sponsored by bet MGM.

1325
01:06:53,720 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 2: And so we were in Mississippi and it was it

1326
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 2: was at the Bowl Ravage, beautiful place right there in Mississippi,

1327
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 2: and uh, you and I we went to the craps

1328
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 2: table and you and I we just lost our first bet,

1329
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 2: and you were like, let's go, We're out of here.

1330
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,040
Speaker 2: I was like, well, he's like I've learned. If you're

1331
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 2: called just get away.

1332
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 6: I mean, there's that's the right way to approach it.

1333
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 2: It is.

1334
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 3: It is.

1335
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 2: I don't do that, but that's the right way to

1336
01:07:17,480 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 2: approach it.

1337
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:20,720
Speaker 3: Oh. Now, if I if I don't feel like the

1338
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 3: vibe of the table, I'm I'm gone.

1339
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 5: Now that I understand, especially with like Groulet or like Blackjack,

1340
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 5: or if you sit down and they don't know how to.

1341
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,800
Speaker 6: Play blackjack, that affects your hand.

1342
01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 5: So I'm with you on that on Like, if I

1343
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 5: don't like the vibe, I'll get up, But if I

1344
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 5: lose and the vibe is popping, I'm gonna stay there.

1345
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, if the.

1346
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 3: Rulo really is like, if you lose three straight hands

1347
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,520
Speaker 3: of blackjack, you should get up and leave. If you say,

1348
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 3: kind of staying with Roulette now you lose, I mean

1349
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 3: not Roulette craps. You lose more money on craps typically

1350
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 3: if you do that. So sometimes maybe two sevens you're

1351
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 3: like out of here. But yeah, you shouldn't stay at

1352
01:07:58,520 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 3: a table that would you stick at.

1353
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, better, I'm out of there. I better to move on. Hey,

1354
01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 2: how about my dolphins in the news over here, Jeff,

1355
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 2: what happened? We got Odell Beckham Junior brand new Miami

1356
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 2: dolphin hunting out the real news. It's not just about

1357
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 2: the aqua and orange right here. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler,

1358
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 2: he said that other teams were in the mix. He

1359
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: was told that Kansas City was appealing to Odell Beckham

1360
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 2: Junior as well as Buffalo, but he opted for Miami,

1361
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 2: and he's betting big on Mike McDaniel unlocking him. What

1362
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 2: do you think about this, this choice by OBJ to

1363
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:40,839
Speaker 2: go to Miami.

1364
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,719
Speaker 3: I saw a tweet that said who's stopping this offense?

1365
01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 3: And it laid out the skills and players for the Dolphins,

1366
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 3: and I answered, cold weather.

1367
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was all Metallica songs. Sad but true right there.

1368
01:08:57,080 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a problem, right, Like I even looked it up.

1369
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 3: Tu when it's under seventy degrees, like sixteen thirteen, when

1370
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,080
Speaker 3: it's over, he's you know, he's twenty over five hundred.

1371
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 3: It's a problem. I don't know how else to put it.

1372
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I you gotta have a high seed in

1373
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,679
Speaker 3: the playoffs to play your games at home, which again

1374
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 3: I mean the AFC is a lot worse weather than

1375
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 3: the NFC. Right, NFC is a lot of dome teams,

1376
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 3: and on the West coast. I mean the AFC. You're

1377
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 3: looking at the teams that are good Cincinnati, Baltimore, Kansas City, Buffalo.

1378
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 3: You know, for New England for so many years, you

1379
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 3: better be able to play with some cold weather, Brian,

1380
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,120
Speaker 3: otherwise you're not gonna be able to to win in

1381
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 3: a way that you want to. And the other thing

1382
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 3: too is you know they didn't address the offensive line

1383
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 3: I think enough in the offseason, right, it seems like

1384
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 3: to be a big concern of mine for the Dolphins.

1385
01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 3: You have. Look, I love Armstead and left tackles buddy

1386
01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 3: of mine, like great dude, but he's got one year

1387
01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 3: left right essentially, and he's got to avoid the injury bug,

1388
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 3: which is unfortunately been a problem at times. Isaiah went

1389
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:10,960
Speaker 3: at left guard's okay. You know you got Aaron Brewer okay.

1390
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 3: At center, you're okay, at right guard, you're okay. At

1391
01:10:13,320 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 3: right tackle. You droctored Patrick Paul. Maybe he's the answer

1392
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 3: for the future at uh at left tackle. But it's

1393
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 3: just not a lot of depth, right, I guess I

1394
01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 3: can Bird's there.

1395
01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like it's it's but you when you

1396
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 2: go like he's okay, he's okay, he's okay. The whole

1397
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 2: thing collectively is just okay and right and it's rough.

1398
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,000
Speaker 3: And I don't think and I can't why you dropped

1399
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 3: the trump Robinson after the injuries you had last season

1400
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 3: at pass rushers and the season it might have felt like,

1401
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 3: you know, we just have to show up that position.

1402
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 3: We can't have that happen again. But it's really unfair.

1403
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 3: Sort of, the the bar is have you done enough

1404
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 3: to be Kansas City? But is the bar though, right,

1405
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 3: because that's the ultimate goal. I'm not sure Dolphins are

1406
01:10:58,360 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 3: in any better shape than were last year for that

1407
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 3: of game.

1408
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I hate it, but you're accurate about the

1409
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 2: cold weather stuff because you rattled off the record and

1410
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 2: the game against Kansas City. I know it was brutally cold,

1411
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 2: but they had just nothing going on and you could

1412
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 2: play the game of Kansas City's defense was really good

1413
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 2: last season, which they were, and it was abnormally cold. Fine,

1414
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 2: but you've ta the ball looked like a medicine ball,

1415
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. He's trying to throw it.

1416
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 2: He's trying to throw like this anvil and it's a

1417
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 2: screen pass and it's like, bro, it didn't even it

1418
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 2: hit his shoe, like it's nowhere near being a completion.

1419
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 2: It was just such a disaster against the Chiefs in

1420
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,840
Speaker 2: that playoff game. And that goes on top of all

1421
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,080
Speaker 2: of the other failures in cold weather. Yeah, it's a problem.

1422
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and medicine ball. And you know, look again, I

1423
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 3: think that the standard is really hard because you know,

1424
01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 3: it's again it's it's beating the Chiefs, right, and that's

1425
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 3: the standard, and that's what it was for Tom Brady

1426
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:07,000
Speaker 3: for so many years. I have you've done enough to

1427
01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,879
Speaker 3: beat the Chiefs. But the Dolphins, I think the positive

1428
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 3: is that you're always gonna be in the playoff hunt

1429
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 3: with the situation, with a certain setup, which is fantastic, right,

1430
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's where you sort of want to be.

1431
01:12:18,800 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 3: But and you can get you know, you get lucky, right,

1432
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 3: you just kind of sort of just like you have

1433
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 3: a year when everything works out for you. But I'm

1434
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:27,879
Speaker 3: not sure their team got that much better. Look, Godell's

1435
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 3: signing is just a depth you know, It's just it's

1436
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:33,240
Speaker 3: another guy like that. That to me doesn't change, Uh,

1437
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 3: what doesn't change. I thought that the one entering parts

1438
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 3: of this offseason was was Tyreek Hill admitting that his

1439
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,800
Speaker 3: head coach basically told him that he was soft in

1440
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 3: the playoff game, which I mean, I think as the

1441
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 3: right it's it was true, but that that actually I

1442
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 3: think bodes well for the relationship that Michael Daniel has

1443
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 3: with the players. He's able to tell the players and

1444
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 3: then Tyreek Hill is able is sort of confident enough

1445
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:57,919
Speaker 3: to just tell everyone that's what he told me. Yeah,

1446
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 3: that that's actually not a bad thing. I think the

1447
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 3: players like the coach. I like the coach, but there

1448
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:04,560
Speaker 3: needs to be some of that toughness instilled in the

1449
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 3: colder weather.

1450
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 2: No, I like that, that's true. It seems like a

1451
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 2: lot of players take offense to anything, and I like

1452
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 2: that Tyreek Hill didn't take offense to that. He even

1453
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 2: joked around. I can't remember which player, if it was

1454
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 2: Lugerious Need or somebody else cornerback that jammed him. He

1455
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 2: was like, he jammed my ass to can Kun. Yeah,

1456
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 2: it was just this crazy jam at the line of scrimmage.

1457
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean collectively, they gotta be tougher in

1458
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 2: the cold weather. What do you think real fast about

1459
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:40,919
Speaker 2: for Odell Beckham junior of those three teams Dolphins, Bill's Chiefs,

1460
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 2: just for individual success? Do you think he made the

1461
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 2: best choice? Oh?

1462
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 3: Good question. He already want a super Bowl. He doesn't

1463
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:57,520
Speaker 3: want that, right, Just talk about like most yards essentially kind.

1464
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:01,759
Speaker 2: Of like just just individual production. Knowing what the Chiefs

1465
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:06,080
Speaker 2: have personnel wise, knowing the quarterbacks, like all those factor

1466
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 2: everything in. Do you think saying, hey, I'm gonna go

1467
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 2: to Miami and I'll be there with you know, with

1468
01:14:12,600 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Tyreek and Jalen Waddle and Mike McDaniel. We've got this

1469
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:20,240
Speaker 2: lethal offense and he can get his look at the

1470
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 2: bills like you got Josh Allen and what you drafted

1471
01:14:23,960 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman and you got a bunch of just random

1472
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 2: wide receivers over there. Be fair.

1473
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if Odell is a number two.

1474
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 2: He might not be.

1475
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,519
Speaker 3: He's like that part of it. We're like you look

1476
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:38,600
Speaker 3: at at Buffalo and I'm not sure he thought about this.

1477
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 3: I'm actually just went to where he wanted to live

1478
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 3: and paid him a lot of money, which was certainly Miami.

1479
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 3: But he's probably a three right now, right, Yeah, So

1480
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:52,520
Speaker 3: in Buffalo he's a two. If Keon Coleman's good, immediately

1481
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 3: in Kansas City he's what one and a half at

1482
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 3: the moment. Un if you're worthy, he'll be there quite soon.

1483
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,320
Speaker 3: But if she Rice is out for any length of

1484
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 3: time this year, he immediately becomes a much uh you know,

1485
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 3: a higher target player. How don't if he wanted that.

1486
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 3: The other thing about about pre agency as well, Brian,

1487
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 3: is he's won of Super Bowls. He's not chasing super anymore.

1488
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 3: He won with the Rams, so he has that already done.

1489
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 3: He's gonna play in Miami, Like you can choose two

1490
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 3: cool weather cities or play in Miami with no sted

1491
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 3: income tax.

1492
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:33,599
Speaker 2: It's right, and you could talk yourself into that pretty easily.

1493
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that that's the only way players think

1494
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 3: about it, but it's not. It's not. It's sort of

1495
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 3: it sometimes at this point of his career. Yeah, you're

1496
01:15:42,720 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 3: looking at the quality of of of quality of living,

1497
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,880
Speaker 3: quality of life taxes, where you want to live. I

1498
01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 3: don't know where he lives in the off season, but

1499
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 3: would surprise you if it was Miami.

1500
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, yeah, And.

1501
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 3: So I think that's just for him. It made sense

1502
01:15:57,240 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 3: for his family to just stay in Miami so that

1503
01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,800
Speaker 3: when players get later in their careers they look at

1504
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 3: at life and family and the best place for everyone

1505
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 3: to be, like to be in that sense, And it

1506
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 3: sounds like Miami might be that place for him right now.

1507
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, could be all right. Coming up next, Jeff will

1508
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:23,320
Speaker 2: look at some possible betting opportunities here and everybody listening,

1509
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 2: you've heard of bad beats before, right you know we

1510
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:29,320
Speaker 2: all know about that. I'd like to introduce a new

1511
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:34,679
Speaker 2: phrase based on today's outcome. Okay, throw that way, throw

1512
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,560
Speaker 2: that your way, right around the corner. I'm Brian No,

1513
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz. This is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian No.

1514
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz here on Fox Sports Radio. We're coming

1515
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 2: to you live from the tire rack dot Com studios. Man, Jeff, So, uh, look,

1516
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 2: we're all aware of what a bad beat in gambling is. Right,

1517
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,080
Speaker 2: seems like it's gonna work out for you and then

1518
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 2: it goes horribly. I would like to introduce a new phrase.

1519
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 2: I would like to introduce torturous beats.

1520
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 3: Oh what happened to you?

1521
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 2: That's uh, unfortunately what happened to us with Marcus Morrissenior

1522
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 2: over here? My goodness, So this is what makes it

1523
01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:23,240
Speaker 2: so bad? I texted, By the way, my phone is

1524
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 2: screwed up, Jeff. If you haven't gotten a text from me,

1525
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 2: I probably sent you a few and they're just not

1526
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 2: going through an android. I know, I knew I was

1527
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 2: stepping into that.

1528
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 3: Just ruined all groups. Brian's that guy everyone who ruins

1529
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 3: the text message, who like you're you're just like you

1530
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 3: can't send gifts and photos because Brian has an Android

1531
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 3: and just Refu's just stubborn about it.

1532
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:50,720
Speaker 2: I will not change. I will not I refuse. I know,

1533
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 2: I know it's I've dealt with so much iPhone smack talk.

1534
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 2: I will never ever convert. Will not happen. But yeah,

1535
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:02,360
Speaker 2: I told Jeff, I'm like, hey, man, I love Marcus

1536
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:05,599
Speaker 2: Morris Senior going over two and a half rebounds today.

1537
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:10,599
Speaker 2: Game seven calves taken on the magic right and uh,

1538
01:18:10,760 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 2: he got two rebounds right away. He plays seven minutes,

1539
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 2: gets two rebounds. We need one more rebound. It's the

1540
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 2: first quarter. He's he's got two of the three that

1541
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 2: he needs. He didn't play another second in the game.

1542
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 2: They didn't didn't put him back out there. Oh my gosh, Jeff,

1543
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,480
Speaker 2: that's just freaking brutal.

1544
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,800
Speaker 3: So you know, it's one of those things where and

1545
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 3: you wager enough, as we both do. I told you

1546
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 3: I've tracked. I still kept my promise. But I've tracked

1547
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 3: every single wage I made all season, all year. The

1548
01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 3: only one I haven't put in there is my horse

1549
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 3: racing from from yesterday. I have records and all ready

1550
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 3: to go. Nice I gave back a lot today. Though

1551
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 3: I started I started sixteen and four in May, I've

1552
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 3: probably gave a half of that back today. So uh

1553
01:19:00,800 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 3: is like you learn that you're gonna have these torturous

1554
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 3: moments and you just have to laugh them off because

1555
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 3: you also, like, like we talked about at the beginning

1556
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 3: of the show, I had nuggets first quarter yesterday, I had

1557
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 3: no business winning that way.

1558
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 2: That's right, Yeah, none, right, And I.

1559
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,640
Speaker 3: Want so like you good and the bad. But if

1560
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 3: you do it long enough, and the key is, you

1561
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 3: don't wager more than you're you can afford to lose.

1562
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,839
Speaker 3: So if you lose a couple hundred bucks or whatever,

1563
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,719
Speaker 3: it's not the end of the world. You just laugh

1564
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,719
Speaker 3: it off. If you're losing more than you can lose,

1565
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 3: then that's becomes a problem. So you just learn to

1566
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 3: roll with this. Man, it happens every single weekend. You wager.

1567
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good outlook because Marcus Morris Senior, this

1568
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 2: is all based on Jared Allen being out.

1569
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 3: Jared Allen bet the problem if the process is good

1570
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 3: but the results don't happen, that that's part of wager

1571
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 3: and like you can live with that.

1572
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So Jared Allen has this rib issue and he

1573
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,160
Speaker 2: was out for Game seven, and it's like, oh hey,

1574
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 2: Marcus Morris Senior. He started Game six. He played twenty

1575
01:20:07,680 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 2: seven minutes in Game six, and I texted Jeff, I'm like,

1576
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 2: I'm on over two and a half rebounds. Two rebounds

1577
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,360
Speaker 2: in seven minutes. It's like, this is looking awesome. He

1578
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 2: never got back in the game. That's torturous right there.

1579
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 2: There's no other way. I can't say it. I don't

1580
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 2: know if that applies to this man too, but it might.

1581
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 6: One was not enough for show Hey o Tani.

1582
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 3: First pitch to show Hey swang on and a hammer.

1583
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 8: Deep centerfield way back.

1584
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 3: In gone a first pitch home run for show Hell Chany.

1585
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 3: It is five to one Otane with two home runs.

1586
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,840
Speaker 6: Today a in five seventy l e sports on the call.

1587
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 5: O Tani actually went four for four, which homers and

1588
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 5: the Dodgers completed a sweep of the Braves. Five to

1589
01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 5: one was the final score. The Orioles crushed the Reds

1590
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 5: eleven to one, and the Diamondbacks defeated the Padres eleven

1591
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 5: to four. The Yankees beat the Tigers five two and

1592
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,719
Speaker 5: eight innings. Because of rain Aaron Judge with the seventh

1593
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 5: homer of the season on the ice. The Rangers beat

1594
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 5: the Hurricanes four to one in Get four three excuse me,

1595
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,560
Speaker 5: in Game one of the second round of the NHL Playoffs,

1596
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 5: and in Game seven of the NBA the Cavs with

1597
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 5: the one oh six to ninety four comeback win against

1598
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 5: the Magic.

1605
01:21:54,960 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 2: out as the Lakers head coach, Jeff fired years in

1606
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 2: look man. First things first, it didn't take long for

1607
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 2: the honeymoon to be over. This was a team that

1608
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,559
Speaker 2: was in the Western Conference Finals last year and now

1609
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham is out of a job. He was the

1610
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:18,600
Speaker 2: toast of Lebron and Anthony Davis when he got the

1611
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 2: job just two years ago, and now he's gone. And

1612
01:22:22,520 --> 01:22:24,560
Speaker 2: a lot of that is running into the Nuggets. The

1613
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 2: last couple of years where they crashed and burned to

1614
01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:30,639
Speaker 2: the tune of losing eight games and winning one game,

1615
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,360
Speaker 2: and it didn't fare any better in the regular season.

1616
01:22:33,400 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 2: That was a big part of it. What do you

1617
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: think of d ham being out of a gig this early?

1618
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: Those are just let Lebron coach the team. You know,

1619
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 3: you mentioned NFL players maybe coming back and you know,

1620
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 3: kind of having a split season and doing something unique.

1621
01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 3: The just I know it's been done before in the NBA.

1622
01:22:50,960 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 3: They just let Lebron be player coach, Like, just give

1623
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:56,280
Speaker 3: him the title of assistant coach, maybe not head coach.

1624
01:22:56,320 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 3: Assistant coaches give it to him, right, because I don't

1625
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 3: think any coach is gonna satisfy what Lebron wants from

1626
01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 3: a coach, and I don't even know what that actually is.

1627
01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,759
Speaker 3: At times the other rotations were a little bit bleak

1628
01:23:08,800 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 3: and whatnot, and I think that every coach has those moments.

1629
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 3: But the fact is they're just not good enough to

1630
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 3: be the Nuggets. Whoever coaching him, It doesn't that nothing

1631
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 3: in that series. From the coaching perspective of Phil Jackson,

1632
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 3: it would not have matter in that series. They're not

1633
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 3: better than the Nuggets. And so if a new coach

1634
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 3: helps you get better players, Okay, then then go for it.

1635
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 3: The names thrown out are like Tylu already has a job,

1636
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 3: right the Boonholzer who the knock on him was like

1637
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 3: in the games he look like deer in the headlights

1638
01:23:40,120 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 3: half the time, right Like that was that. The knock

1639
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 3: on him in Milwaukee was like, you'd be like, what

1640
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,600
Speaker 3: if he doing right now? They didn't feel like a

1641
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 3: Lebron guy to me? And I fired all the assistant

1642
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 3: coaches too. I don't know, man, I guess you need

1643
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:56,560
Speaker 3: to keep Lebron happy. He's gonna I would imagine he

1644
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 3: resigns there. But there's just not a lot of mobility.

1645
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 3: They have to get that much better right now. They

1646
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 3: need to get younger at certain positions. They need to

1647
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 3: get more shooters, and then you get you know, guys

1648
01:24:08,240 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 3: that don't have back to back, well not back to back,

1649
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 3: but don't have like you know, yo yo ing good

1650
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 3: game bag in bagging of the posts. Like they need

1651
01:24:18,360 --> 01:24:20,280
Speaker 3: to get someone who's not Russell, you know what I mean.

1652
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 3: But I don't know who those players are going to be.

1653
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 3: I don't know what what trades they're they're gonna want

1654
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 3: to give up the future. They actually have a bunch

1655
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 3: of draft picks for the first time in a long time.

1656
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,400
Speaker 3: They for a while, we're giving those up, so maybe

1657
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 3: they're able to kind of do both get you know,

1658
01:24:33,200 --> 01:24:35,679
Speaker 3: a couple of young players in there. And I think

1659
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:40,360
Speaker 3: about the draft to NBA draft unlike the NFL draft

1660
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:44,599
Speaker 3: or unlike the baseball draft. Man, after like the top

1661
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 3: nine picks, it is hard nine ten picks to find

1662
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 3: a real superstar. That's very rare. So Lakers are never

1663
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:51,679
Speaker 3: gonna be drafting that high.

1664
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 2: It can happen, but like you said, it's it's not common. Yeah,

1665
01:24:57,200 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 2: but that's the thing, man, is U Look, Darvin Ham

1666
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 2: had his shortcomings, there's no doubt about that. But it

1667
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 2: becomes so trendy to put more of the blame on him,

1668
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:10,080
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. You just mentioned it, the

1669
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 2: yo yo performance of Di'angelo Russell. That's not a Darvin

1670
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 2: Ham thing. Like the problems go beyond Darvin Ham, but

1671
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 2: it just becomes this sort of like, ah, he's to blame,

1672
01:25:22,880 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 2: it's his fault. He did have some goofy rotations. I

1673
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 2: don't know why. Rui Hachimurro was in the doghouse throughout

1674
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 2: most of the regular season and why Torrian Prince was

1675
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 2: the guy that fascinated Darvin Ham. Yeah, certainly, it's not

1676
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 2: like he walks on coaching water. There are things that

1677
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 2: you could win at d Ham and say that's weird.

1678
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:47,520
Speaker 2: I don't get that. But even if he strengthened his rotations,

1679
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, and he didn't have these

1680
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 2: funky lineups, d' angelo Russell is not all of a

1681
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 2: sudden an all star guard, you know what I mean.

1682
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,880
Speaker 2: Like the problems go beyond Ham. But this is what

1683
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 2: happens in sports a lot, Jeff is it becomes that

1684
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: one guy where you're like, yeah him, and then the

1685
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 2: sheep follow and they're like yeah him. And I'm not

1686
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,680
Speaker 2: saying he's blameless. I'm just saying I thought there was

1687
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 2: more blame placed at his feet than the realistic then

1688
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,800
Speaker 2: what was real, what was really at hand, you know.

1689
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: And I also think this man we always talk about

1690
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:29,120
Speaker 2: coach killers. We always act like that's an inside job,

1691
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 2: you know, like this superstar just didn't want the head

1692
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,879
Speaker 2: coach anymore and now he's gone. Sometimes that happens. Sometimes

1693
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:38,960
Speaker 2: it's the opponent that's a coach killer, and the two

1694
01:26:39,040 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 2: coach Killers for Darvin ham are Na, Kola Jokic and

1695
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray because if they're not running into the Nuggets

1696
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 2: the last two years, he's probably still got a gig.

1697
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think anyone outside of the Nuggets and Wolves

1698
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 3: in the West, Lakers beats in any serious even even

1699
01:26:55,280 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 3: okay see, but the nugget to kryptonite for them, and

1700
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:03,200
Speaker 3: the Wolves I think will be tough because of the

1701
01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 3: way they play defense and just say like okay, Lebron,

1702
01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 3: you can you can score your thirty. No one else

1703
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 3: will score, you know, or you know, we'll we'll try

1704
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,600
Speaker 3: to limit ad with Gobert and just let all your

1705
01:27:13,640 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 3: shooters have their chance to to to lose the game

1706
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 3: for you guys. But yeah, I think it don't play Denver,

1707
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,880
Speaker 3: then he probably keeps his job. But you still, I

1708
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:25,880
Speaker 3: mean the point we made the last segment about the

1709
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 3: Dolphins and they're chasing the Chiefs, right, the Lakers are

1710
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 3: chasing the Nuggets, maybe the Wolves. Now they have to

1711
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:36,520
Speaker 3: do everything in their power to build teams to beat

1712
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 3: those those teams, and so that's a it's a roster issue,

1713
01:27:41,240 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 3: it's a player issue. You know, Lakers, two superstars are

1714
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 3: getting up in age. They gotta find an effusion of

1715
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:52,840
Speaker 3: youth on this team, and until they find that, they're

1716
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 3: gonna be in the same position every year. They're going

1717
01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 3: to be a playoff team fighting for you know, the

1718
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 3: playing game and then running up against a Nuggets team

1719
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:06,879
Speaker 3: that is quicker than them, faster than them, bigger than them, talented,

1720
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 3: like all those all those things unless they get Unless

1721
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 3: the Lakers get younger and get more shooters.

1722
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's the crazy thing too, is they were

1723
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:19,799
Speaker 2: pretty close. I know they lost in a gentleman sweep,

1724
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 2: but like Mike Malow and the head coach of the

1725
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:25,880
Speaker 2: Nuggets said after that series, He's like, we had to scrap.

1726
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 2: We had a scrap for everything in that series. Yeah, yeah, right,

1727
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 2: Like think about Game five, that's a tie game and

1728
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,240
Speaker 2: Jamal Murray hits a shot with a few seconds to go.

1729
01:28:35,360 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 3: Happened twice right, game.

1730
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 2: Game two, same way, like big twenty point comeback and

1731
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:41,080
Speaker 2: he hit the buzzer beater.

1732
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,519
Speaker 3: But that's the thing, right, Like the Lakers don't have

1733
01:28:45,560 --> 01:28:48,599
Speaker 3: that Jamal Murray. Like Lebron is that guy, of course,

1734
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 3: but he's thirty nine years old. We joked about this

1735
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 3: via text matches, like if you could. You can wager

1736
01:28:55,520 --> 01:29:00,400
Speaker 3: on first quarter points and rebounds. Maybe, I don't know.

1737
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:03,640
Speaker 3: If you do first half. You can't pre flop. You

1738
01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 3: can't pre wager on second half player points. But I

1739
01:29:07,479 --> 01:29:10,719
Speaker 3: think me and you would would automatically fade Lebron every

1740
01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:15,360
Speaker 3: second half because he's just he's older player, and he's

1741
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:17,559
Speaker 3: not often going to be better at the end of games.

1742
01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:19,799
Speaker 3: The starter games. Now the back half of the series,

1743
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,479
Speaker 3: he's kind of tried to slow play the first half right,

1744
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:27,280
Speaker 3: took more rest, didn't go as hard to better, be

1745
01:29:27,280 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 3: better and second half. But they don't have a Jamal

1746
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:33,559
Speaker 3: Murray to just make a game winning shot for them. Yeah,

1747
01:29:33,560 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 3: and again he's there too, so it'd be like Anthony

1748
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:39,160
Speaker 3: Davis right like, you're you go make the shot. They

1749
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:41,960
Speaker 3: don't have that right now, and so until they find

1750
01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:45,680
Speaker 3: that player, because a getting Lebron's thirty nine, he's great,

1751
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:47,800
Speaker 3: he can still do a lot of things at basketball court,

1752
01:29:48,400 --> 01:29:49,840
Speaker 3: but they don't really have a number two in those

1753
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 3: situations and that really hurts them.

1754
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you mentioned Tylu he's a candidate for the job.

1755
01:29:57,920 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 2: He still has a job. He's with the Clippers right now.

1756
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 3: Wasn't it already a Lakers coach before that, right, or

1757
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 3: Cavs coach?

1758
01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:06,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, yeah, I was over there with the Calves.

1759
01:30:08,040 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 2: But yeah, and he was asked about this. So the

1760
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 2: Clippers got bounced by the MAVs and immediately after that loss,

1761
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:17,960
Speaker 2: Tyleru was asked about this Lakers opening. Here's what he

1762
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:18,599
Speaker 2: said about it.

1763
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 8: Your thoughts on the Lakers kind of rumored that your

1764
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:25,080
Speaker 8: name is bouncing around for their next head coaching position,

1765
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 8: obviously of time left here, your overall thoughts on that, Yeah,

1766
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 8: I don't.

1767
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:30,639
Speaker 3: Really have a comment on that. I mean, it's great

1768
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,040
Speaker 3: to be wanted, you know, that's a really good feeling,

1769
01:30:33,600 --> 01:30:35,720
Speaker 3: you know, But like I said, I want to be

1770
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 3: here and hopefully we're able to solidify that. Aren't the

1771
01:30:41,080 --> 01:30:42,960
Speaker 3: Clippers in the same place as the Lakers right now?

1772
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:46,519
Speaker 2: That's what's crazy to me is, look, man, I know

1773
01:30:46,640 --> 01:30:49,599
Speaker 2: tyl Lou does a good job, but it's just funny

1774
01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 2: to me that the Clippers just got bounced as well.

1775
01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 2: And I know Kawhi only played two games and that

1776
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 2: factors into it, but it's weird to me, Jeff, where

1777
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:03,639
Speaker 2: you have to coaches Darvin Ham, Tron Lou and bringing

1778
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 2: Mike Budenholzer so Bud. Last year, Jannis missed half the

1779
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 2: series against Miami in the first round. They lost in

1780
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:16,679
Speaker 2: the first round. He gets fired. He won a title,

1781
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 2: he won seventy percent of his games. He's out of

1782
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 2: a job. See you bye, don't want you anymore? And

1783
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 2: is that not what just happened with tron Lou like

1784
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 2: Kawhi missed most of the series and they disintegrated in

1785
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:33,559
Speaker 2: the final two games against Dallas. And he's like this

1786
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:36,840
Speaker 2: hot coaching commodity. I know he does a good job,

1787
01:31:36,880 --> 01:31:40,640
Speaker 2: but they're viewed so differently. Darvin Ham and Mike Budenholzer

1788
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 2: much must look at each other like, I don't know, man,

1789
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 2: I guess we're at fault, you know. And tarn Lu's

1790
01:31:47,080 --> 01:31:48,919
Speaker 2: just kind of like they love me, I don't.

1791
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:55,559
Speaker 3: I mean the other think Budenholzer was look, I hope

1792
01:31:55,600 --> 01:31:57,280
Speaker 3: he's as petty as I would be, Like, I'm sure

1793
01:31:57,280 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 3: he was sitting there from the pacers, right.

1794
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 2: I know, come on, let's go. I'd be so bitter.

1795
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,559
Speaker 2: I would just be talking to myself in my basement, like,

1796
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 2: I guess they're gonna fire Doc Rivers now right, I mean,

1797
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 2: no Joannest, but I got fired, so he's gonna get

1798
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 2: fired too.

1799
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would be I'd be so yeah, I'd be

1800
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 3: so uh, I'd be so petty, so petty. Yeah. Look,

1801
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 3: I think because just Ty Lucas Les named Lebron probably

1802
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 3: likes right, so they just connect the dots of well

1803
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:35,679
Speaker 3: Lebron wants and and what well I happened? But okay,

1804
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:37,799
Speaker 3: I mean Steve Balmer's gonna let him go to Lakers.

1805
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,200
Speaker 3: They're opening up and the into it is gonna be

1806
01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:47,839
Speaker 3: ready right for next season. That it's it's in Englewood,

1807
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:49,720
Speaker 3: right next to Form. Is that where they're building it?

1808
01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:52,439
Speaker 2: I think yeah, I think it is right by the Forum. Yeah,

1809
01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:53,240
Speaker 2: I think it's right there.

1810
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 8: I uh.

1811
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 3: I have so many fun memories of the Forum. Brian

1812
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 3: really back in like oh yeah, so we had.

1813
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 2: Like general admission Megada concerts, that sort of thing.

1814
01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 3: I did not. I have great memories of the Sports

1815
01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 3: Arena too. I don't know if you ever have great

1816
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 3: memories of the sports arena. But my dad we had

1817
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,719
Speaker 3: season tickets we shared with I think two other families

1818
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:13,599
Speaker 3: for Lakers games. So there's a sizzler across the street,

1819
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 3: which I think it's still there. We drive the Sizzler.

1820
01:33:15,960 --> 01:33:19,759
Speaker 3: We'd we'd go, we'd go have a nice little sizzler dinner.

1821
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:21,960
Speaker 3: And the walk across street to the Form and the

1822
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 3: Form was just like super cool. It just was because

1823
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:28,360
Speaker 3: it just was a smaller arena, right, and it was

1824
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 3: intimate and there was a jazz band that played before

1825
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,719
Speaker 3: games and it was like, you know, like the Winning Times,

1826
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,120
Speaker 3: you know, the Winning Time Show. It just was a party,

1827
01:33:36,160 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 3: like it was a place you wanted to go and

1828
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:43,519
Speaker 3: watch a game. They also had the announcing crew not

1829
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 3: on the floor, they were up in the stands and

1830
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:49,360
Speaker 3: we sat above the like where chick Hern was at.

1831
01:33:49,439 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 3: I was like every time I walked by, it was

1832
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 3: like this chick Hern. I was like, I loved it

1833
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 3: as a kid. Sports arena a little different. Sports arena

1834
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:59,439
Speaker 3: was different because it was it was It was.

1835
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:04,679
Speaker 2: That the magic of the forum too with the showtime

1836
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 2: Lakers and my.

1837
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a little bit you know before me

1838
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:13,360
Speaker 3: like his comeback was uh huh was sort of when

1839
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:16,320
Speaker 3: I you know, when I remember going to Lakers games.

1840
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 3: But yeah, it was it was so much fun.

1841
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,440
Speaker 2: That's fun man. All Right, we got a lot to do. Uh,

1842
01:34:23,479 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 2: we got to get to the possible return Man, that's

1843
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:29,799
Speaker 2: on the way and up next. Man, you talk about

1844
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:34,440
Speaker 2: something backfiring. This backfired about as badly as it possibly

1845
01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,600
Speaker 2: could have. He's Jeff Schwartz. I'm Brian No. Hang with

1846
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 2: us right here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian No.

1847
01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz here on Fox Sports Radio, coming to

1848
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 2: you live from the tire Rack dot Com studios. Man, Jeff, So,

1849
01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:57,280
Speaker 2: this went about as badly as it could have. It

1850
01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 2: was not the Clippers trolling the Dallas Mavericks. It was

1851
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:07,080
Speaker 2: a company trolling the MAVs. So the company is named

1852
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 2: sky Scanner. And there were ads outside of Crypto dot

1853
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 2: Com before Game five, so the series is tied to two, right,

1854
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:23,040
Speaker 2: and so there were ads outside of the arena that

1855
01:35:23,120 --> 01:35:30,800
Speaker 2: were promoting flights, like NonStop flights from Dallas to Cankun. Right,

1856
01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 2: So it's just a joke of like, hey, we're gonna

1857
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 2: send Dallas to Cancun pretty soon because the Clippers. Yeah,

1858
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:40,880
Speaker 2: the Clippers are gonna beat the MAVs. And then the

1859
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 2: Clippers got crushed in Game five, ye, and then the

1860
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:47,880
Speaker 2: Clippers got crushed in Game six and the series was

1861
01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 2: over and that did not work out well for what

1862
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,599
Speaker 2: it's worth the Clippers said before Game five Jeff Right

1863
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,280
Speaker 2: series tied two two. They put out a statement to

1864
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 2: ESPN the billboard at LA Live is not owned or

1865
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:05,679
Speaker 2: operated by the Clippers. Yeah, we have the utmost respect

1866
01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:09,560
Speaker 2: for our opponents and in no way endorse this message.

1867
01:36:09,920 --> 01:36:10,759
Speaker 2: That's what they said.

1868
01:36:11,439 --> 01:36:13,960
Speaker 3: Do you think, well, it'll be like one, two, three,

1869
01:36:14,000 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 3: Galvetson soon? Do you like new can coon Man?

1870
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:21,680
Speaker 2: The TNT guys are having a lot of fun with

1871
01:36:21,880 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 2: I've never.

1872
01:36:22,360 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 3: Been to Galveston, but I might go. I might want

1873
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:26,560
Speaker 3: to go smell the water there. I might want to

1874
01:36:26,600 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 3: be like, go see what's happening down there. Yeah, Charles

1875
01:36:30,520 --> 01:36:37,360
Speaker 3: Barkley's disdain for certain things is it's just it's so entertaining,

1876
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 3: it really is. It is the women in San Antonio,

1877
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,800
Speaker 3: the Gallaxon thing. And then and then you know, the

1878
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,760
Speaker 3: Cancun joke has been going on obviously for years, and

1879
01:36:47,800 --> 01:36:51,400
Speaker 3: then to hear that that's what set off Pat Beverly

1880
01:36:51,960 --> 01:36:55,080
Speaker 3: to throw a ball at a fan because a fancy

1881
01:36:55,160 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 3: cantcuon on three when they were playing. It's like, you're

1882
01:37:01,320 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 3: a three year old NBA veteran, Why are you getting

1883
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:11,759
Speaker 3: upset at a fan? For he didn't. It wasn't anything mean,

1884
01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,640
Speaker 3: It was just mocking you guys were going home the

1885
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:18,799
Speaker 3: series was over, and like to to lose a single

1886
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:22,320
Speaker 3: cent in a suspension over this, which he will have

1887
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 3: to be suspend obviously, yeah, but but to like lose a

1888
01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 3: single cent because of this, and look, he will be

1889
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,800
Speaker 3: fine in amount. That's not going to change his life, right,

1890
01:37:34,880 --> 01:37:36,719
Speaker 3: And by find I mean like he'll have to pay

1891
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:41,760
Speaker 3: because he will to be suspended. But the idea of

1892
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:45,360
Speaker 3: losing any money that you were going to earn because

1893
01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:48,360
Speaker 3: you threw a ball at a fan for Saint Cancut

1894
01:37:48,439 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 3: on three and that is the story, right, is ludicrous

1895
01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:54,600
Speaker 3: to be on top of obviously losing any sort of

1896
01:37:54,640 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 3: future media gig because you're disrespectful to a female report

1897
01:38:00,120 --> 01:38:03,599
Speaker 3: order that was in the locker room. It's just really

1898
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:12,879
Speaker 3: foolish behavior and completely unnecessary. And it goes to show.

1899
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 3: So I'm a I'm a big believer Brian, that your

1900
01:38:18,680 --> 01:38:22,240
Speaker 3: true character is during times of adversity. It's it's not

1901
01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,519
Speaker 3: like that it's a life changing thing. But I just

1902
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,960
Speaker 3: I my high school football coach us to always tell

1903
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 3: us who will rise when adversity hits. That's the last

1904
01:38:29,439 --> 01:38:31,600
Speaker 3: thing he told us before we win the football for

1905
01:38:31,720 --> 01:38:33,920
Speaker 3: he gave me two things. I love that. And then

1906
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:36,679
Speaker 3: don't lie to yourself. It's my favorite. He lost for advice.

1907
01:38:36,680 --> 01:38:39,519
Speaker 3: That's my advice. Don't lie to yourself. Okay, but I

1908
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,080
Speaker 3: think your characters revealed in times of adversity when things

1909
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:45,320
Speaker 3: are when things are going well, everyone could be a

1910
01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:49,760
Speaker 3: perfect human, right, Yeah, but when we saide versity. Pat

1911
01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:53,639
Speaker 3: Beverley threw a ball at two fans okay, a woman

1912
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:56,479
Speaker 3: and a man, and then called out a female report

1913
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:58,599
Speaker 3: for not following his podcast, which I guess he's been

1914
01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 3: doing this all year local beat writers, which is just

1915
01:39:01,560 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 3: completely silly. Nonetheless, but in times of adversity he acts

1916
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:11,240
Speaker 3: like a punk like that that that is that it's

1917
01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:15,519
Speaker 3: not good that. I feel like though, that's who you

1918
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:17,800
Speaker 3: really show who you are in those times, right, and

1919
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,280
Speaker 3: it look in terms of verse of your emotional I

1920
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:24,320
Speaker 3: understand him being upset about losing that that's a normal

1921
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 3: reaction to have as a professional athlete or any any athlete, right,

1922
01:39:28,040 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 3: but then to take to take that out on a reporter,

1923
01:39:32,439 --> 01:39:35,200
Speaker 3: take it out on a fan like just an immature

1924
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:35,760
Speaker 3: clown man.

1925
01:39:36,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it is it's you can't throw a ball

1926
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 2: at fans, you know. And I'm not saying anything would

1927
01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 2: justify it, But listen, man, some fans have said some

1928
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 2: crazy things over the day, over right, And if they

1929
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:52,439
Speaker 2: said something right, if it was just like way over

1930
01:39:52,439 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 2: the top, it still wouldn't justify it throwing the ball.

1931
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:58,600
Speaker 2: But if it was something way worse, I could be like, Okay,

1932
01:39:58,800 --> 01:40:02,639
Speaker 2: I can see why he had that a one, two

1933
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:06,680
Speaker 2: three can coon blast. It's like, oh yeah, I get it, White.

1934
01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:08,840
Speaker 2: Pat Bev through the ball and he missed the guy

1935
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 2: the first time. He hit the hit the girl accidentally

1936
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 2: in the side of the head, and then he fired

1937
01:40:15,360 --> 01:40:17,599
Speaker 2: it at the guy the second time. And you were

1938
01:40:17,600 --> 01:40:20,680
Speaker 2: talking about the inside the NBA crew over there on

1939
01:40:20,760 --> 01:40:24,640
Speaker 2: TNT the best. They're so great, man, they're fantastic. But

1940
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 2: this is what Charles Barkley had to say about Pat

1941
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:29,320
Speaker 2: Bev throwing the ball into the crowd twice.

1942
01:40:29,439 --> 01:40:33,439
Speaker 3: He gonna get suspended. Yeah, yeah, man, hit that lady

1943
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:37,120
Speaker 3: in the head. That'll be next to try. That don't matter.

1944
01:40:37,160 --> 01:40:39,840
Speaker 3: He was trying to hit. Yeah, yeah, you can't hit

1945
01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,360
Speaker 3: no lady. Help Yeah, and then.

1946
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 7: You can't life, man, And I understand that but you're like, listen,

1947
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 7: I've done stupid stuff and you get it, and I

1948
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 7: got criticized.

1949
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:51,120
Speaker 3: That's just wrong.

1950
01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:53,439
Speaker 2: He gonna get suspended for that, and that's gonna be

1951
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:55,320
Speaker 2: a good one too, because he didn't.

1952
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 3: Do it once, he did it twice. Yeah, no doubt,

1953
01:40:57,200 --> 01:41:00,240
Speaker 3: no doubt. Don't expect that from a thirty five year

1954
01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:06,080
Speaker 3: old veteran from an eighteen year old. It's not just stupid,

1955
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 3: he's not He's not wrong, man, right, but he's completely right.

1956
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:12,599
Speaker 3: And you know, I think obviously if you want to

1957
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:14,880
Speaker 3: give a you know, middle finger to that guy like

1958
01:41:14,960 --> 01:41:17,120
Speaker 3: that would have been totally fine. You want to to

1959
01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:20,080
Speaker 3: say something back to him, yeah, certainly, but you know,

1960
01:41:20,160 --> 01:41:23,640
Speaker 3: part of our role as athletes is to understand, you know,

1961
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 3: one of those times or when of those times are appropriate, right,

1962
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,559
Speaker 3: And certainly I've said things to fans back to fans,

1963
01:41:29,640 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 3: but you know that's I found the proper time to do. So,

1964
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:35,280
Speaker 3: you know, losing like that and your series being over

1965
01:41:35,360 --> 01:41:37,519
Speaker 3: and by the way, a game that wasn't terribly competitive

1966
01:41:37,560 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, you know, like it wasn't like

1967
01:41:39,040 --> 01:41:41,160
Speaker 3: it was a close game and it was over, you know,

1968
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:43,879
Speaker 3: and it's just really foolish behavior.

1969
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:46,640
Speaker 2: Man, I'll tell you what you made me think of

1970
01:41:46,680 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 2: something with I think it was Darryl Kyle. He was

1971
01:41:50,200 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 2: a former pitcher for the Saint Louis Cardinals. I went

1972
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:55,679
Speaker 2: to a Cardinals Cubs game with my dad a long

1973
01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 2: time ago, and we were with the bleacher bums. We're

1974
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,519
Speaker 2: Cardinals fans, but we were at and we were in

1975
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:05,680
Speaker 2: the bleachers, and uh, this Cubs fan was just hackling

1976
01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:08,880
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. It might have been specifically heckling Darryl Kyle.

1977
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:11,559
Speaker 2: And he just looks up to the guy and he

1978
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:15,120
Speaker 2: goes he goes, hey, man, uh, did you play little League?

1979
01:42:16,000 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 2: And the fan was like yeah, And Daryl Kyle pause

1980
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:26,519
Speaker 2: and he goes, huh, you must have sucked. The fan

1981
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 2: was just like he had nothing. He's like, wait a minute,

1982
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't have any comebacks. If you

1983
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:37,480
Speaker 2: heckle me, I'm the heckler. But man, every now and then, athletes,

1984
01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 2: oh they that's the way the fans.

1985
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:43,680
Speaker 3: So well, Yeah, the Cardinals losing a series of the

1986
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:47,400
Speaker 3: White Sox is pretty embarrassing, by the way, terrible my

1987
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 3: White Sox fade did. That was not did not go well.

1988
01:42:50,120 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 3: The last the last three days. Thankfully the Socks are

1989
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,120
Speaker 3: in Tampa Bay, where I think they'll actually beat lose

1990
01:42:55,200 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 3: to the Rays. Look on social media, obviously, and I

1991
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:04,880
Speaker 3: think part of this too is we as athletes get

1992
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 3: so much hate for lack of a better word, on

1993
01:43:09,280 --> 01:43:15,679
Speaker 3: social media that I think sometimes in public we feel

1994
01:43:15,680 --> 01:43:19,200
Speaker 3: like it probably a social media. Where's social media you

1995
01:43:19,240 --> 01:43:22,320
Speaker 3: can theoretically throw a ball in someone's face and nothing happens,

1996
01:43:22,360 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 3: And in fact we probably get praised for that, you know,

1997
01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:30,439
Speaker 3: And in real life that's not how you act, you know, right,

1998
01:43:30,560 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 3: And so I do sympathize a little bit with athletes

1999
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:36,200
Speaker 3: that really just get it all the time on social

2000
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 3: media because it can be a lot, it can be

2001
01:43:38,479 --> 01:43:42,080
Speaker 3: overwhelming at times. I'm sure Pat Beverly's mentions or just

2002
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:45,920
Speaker 3: filled with people that inappropriate things to him. But that

2003
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:48,080
Speaker 3: this is real life, not on social media.

2004
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:51,599
Speaker 2: No, No, you're right, And that's look, man, that's sometimes

2005
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 2: fans take it way too far. But that's the thing

2006
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:58,200
Speaker 2: we were talking about, Dione Sanders punching down, Yeah, you

2007
01:43:58,240 --> 01:44:00,000
Speaker 2: know what I mean, getting into the back and forth

2008
01:44:00,160 --> 01:44:04,000
Speaker 2: with a former player on Twitter or whatever, and there's

2009
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:07,160
Speaker 2: just no value in it. And unfortunately the fans have

2010
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 2: the upper hand. The fans could say some crazy stuff

2011
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:11,920
Speaker 2: and they should never get away with that. But if

2012
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:14,679
Speaker 2: the player reacts, it's always going to be the player's

2013
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 2: fault no matter what. You just can't punch down like that, man,

2014
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 2: You're gonna get caught. It's like being on you being

2015
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:22,679
Speaker 2: on the football field. It's like you're the second guy.

2016
01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 2: The instigator never gets caught. It's the guy who reacts

2017
01:44:26,560 --> 01:44:28,799
Speaker 2: that's who gets the penalty every single time.

2018
01:44:29,880 --> 01:44:33,120
Speaker 3: This goes to my last point on this, Brian, is

2019
01:44:33,160 --> 01:44:38,120
Speaker 3: I do think if we allowed one assault a year.

2020
01:44:39,960 --> 01:44:41,000
Speaker 2: Charles loves that too.

2021
01:44:41,120 --> 01:44:45,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the player on your ticket, it says you're

2022
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:50,160
Speaker 3: electronic ticket, It says, you know, you agree to be

2023
01:44:50,200 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 3: assaulted by.

2024
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 2: A player if you deserve it.

2025
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you deserve it. And so a player gets

2026
01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:57,200
Speaker 3: to call a fan out once a year, you get

2027
01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:00,080
Speaker 3: one opportunity. So if Pat Bev hadn't done it, and

2028
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 3: he could call that fan out, all right, let's like

2029
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:02,559
Speaker 3: let's go.

2030
01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:05,000
Speaker 2: You want to fight, like yeah.

2031
01:45:04,720 --> 01:45:07,040
Speaker 3: And it would stop a lot of the heckling, or

2032
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 3: maybe it would increase it. To get into a fight

2033
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:09,640
Speaker 3: with the pro athletes.

2034
01:45:11,080 --> 01:45:14,000
Speaker 2: Sort of like it makes me think remember Andre Hirelinko

2035
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 2: how he had the hall pass. Yeah, with his wife,

2036
01:45:17,160 --> 01:45:19,080
Speaker 2: he had the once a year hall pass. You know,

2037
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 2: I like what you're thinking.

2038
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:23,120
Speaker 3: But once in your whole how do you? I don't

2039
01:45:23,200 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 3: know any other women? How it worked for my life?

2040
01:45:28,720 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 3: How about use it on my wife? Hey? Wife, can

2041
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:35,640
Speaker 3: I have a hall pass too with you? Once in

2042
01:45:35,720 --> 01:45:36,400
Speaker 3: your whole past?

2043
01:45:36,479 --> 01:45:36,679
Speaker 5: Yeah?

2044
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you didn't know about that. Yeah, this is

2045
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:42,639
Speaker 2: a real Yeah, there was a whole story where once

2046
01:45:42,760 --> 01:45:43,719
Speaker 2: to your hall pass.

2047
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:47,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, take a just use on my wife. I gotta

2048
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 3: look this up. I'm gonna andrake Carolinko hall pass. I

2049
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:51,360
Speaker 3: just can't believe it.

2050
01:45:51,760 --> 01:45:54,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but baby, think what you're talking about the once

2051
01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,200
Speaker 2: a year fan hall pass?

2052
01:45:56,240 --> 01:46:00,719
Speaker 3: Oh you ain't lying? Wow? Oh yeah, once a year yep.

2053
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 3: AK for the headline is AK forty seven was granted

2054
01:46:05,880 --> 01:46:08,320
Speaker 3: an annual cheating pass. And the concept seemingly works for

2055
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:10,360
Speaker 3: the couple. I mean, look, if it works for them,

2056
01:46:10,439 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 3: more power to them. I'm not knocking things that work

2057
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,320
Speaker 3: for couples. That's obviously, you know, great for them.

2058
01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 2: But wow, I could do a nine hour interview with

2059
01:46:21,880 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 2: Andre Kiralinko just based on that concept. You know, I

2060
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:29,600
Speaker 2: would have a million questions for the guy, you know

2061
01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 2: what I mean, like, how did you go about picking

2062
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 2: the one person for that year? What if it was January? Yeah,

2063
01:46:36,920 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 2: you use the Hall pass then that early?

2064
01:46:39,040 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah you have to. And so it's what it

2065
01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:45,280
Speaker 3: says here one not only affairs will not be tolerated,

2066
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 3: and the agreement isn't reciprocal. Okay, they've been married at

2067
01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:53,120
Speaker 3: this point. This is articles in twenty thirteen. They've been

2068
01:46:53,200 --> 01:46:54,679
Speaker 3: married for thirteen years already.

2069
01:46:56,600 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 2: Wow, so they're still going strong.

2070
01:46:58,360 --> 01:47:00,280
Speaker 3: Well no, this article is from twenty three team. I

2071
01:47:00,320 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 3: don't know where they are they are now that they're

2072
01:47:02,320 --> 01:47:08,679
Speaker 3: currently still married, but uh wow, I uh yeah, that's

2073
01:47:08,800 --> 01:47:12,240
Speaker 3: that's all. Yeah, the question of of of the choice?

2074
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 3: How does that how you come up?

2075
01:47:13,680 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 2: How did you choose? Did you run it back?

2076
01:47:18,520 --> 01:47:19,519
Speaker 3: I'm curious if.

2077
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:23,599
Speaker 2: It is my this is my twenty eleven Hall pass,

2078
01:47:23,880 --> 01:47:26,160
Speaker 2: you know I ran it back in twenty nineteen, you know.

2079
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:30,120
Speaker 3: And dreck Kerlink I'm seeing if he's still married, I

2080
01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:33,280
Speaker 3: mean a matt if you personal life. Oh he's still

2081
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:34,120
Speaker 3: they're still married?

2082
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:38,880
Speaker 2: Could he is it like vacation? Could if he didn't

2083
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:40,920
Speaker 2: use it? If you don't use it, you lose it

2084
01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 2: type thing, right or can you? Or can you?

2085
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,120
Speaker 3: Or can you? Can you stack him up for one

2086
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 3: year like he used all on one season? He was

2087
01:47:51,880 --> 01:47:54,839
Speaker 3: a World of Warcraft gamer wall in the in the NBA.

2088
01:47:56,960 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 3: Looks like they're still married.

2089
01:47:57,920 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, happy couple.

2090
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah wow today.

2091
01:48:04,240 --> 01:48:06,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a's a great story.

2092
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:06,720
Speaker 3: Man.

2093
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:09,479
Speaker 2: You can't make that up.

2094
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:11,680
Speaker 3: Oh man, We're going to.

2095
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:14,599
Speaker 2: Get to the opposite of what we expected here shortly.

2096
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 2: But first Monty Bolanos, who was with us and is

2097
01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 2: here to spin us around the sporting world here, Manzi,

2098
01:48:21,200 --> 01:48:21,880
Speaker 2: what should we know?

2099
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 6: We should know that WHOA, we should pay more?

2100
01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:30,639
Speaker 5: Players probably have that a deal I think with their

2101
01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:33,280
Speaker 5: significant others, and it's just not talked about.

2102
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 2: I think you're right. Yeah, I want to circle back

2103
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:39,760
Speaker 2: to that. But there's something it's raining a little bit

2104
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:40,440
Speaker 2: in Philadelia.

2105
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 6: You see that brow. That's why my reaction was like.

2106
01:48:43,000 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 2: Yes, it was a grounder to the short stop and

2107
01:48:46,040 --> 01:48:49,439
Speaker 2: he got his spike caught and just airmailed it. I

2108
01:48:49,479 --> 01:48:50,599
Speaker 2: can't do it just as.

2109
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:53,960
Speaker 3: That's exciting thing that's happened to the Giants all season. I'm

2110
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:58,320
Speaker 3: not gonna lie. It's like that's how it's not raining.

2111
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,160
Speaker 6: It was. It was a little bit ago. It looked

2112
01:49:01,200 --> 01:49:03,320
Speaker 6: like it came down for maybe just a minute or two.

2113
01:49:03,760 --> 01:49:05,799
Speaker 6: But no, he definitely got stuck.

2114
01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:10,479
Speaker 2: It was bad, bad, really.

2115
01:49:11,200 --> 01:49:11,519
Speaker 6: Yes.

2116
01:49:11,600 --> 01:49:14,360
Speaker 5: The Giants, though, are beating the Phillies, even though.

2117
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 6: Again we think it might be raining a tiny bit.

2118
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,679
Speaker 6: It is one zero bottom of the second inning.

2119
01:49:19,280 --> 01:49:21,759
Speaker 5: Earlier today, the Dodgers completed a sweep of the Braves,

2120
01:49:21,880 --> 01:49:23,960
Speaker 5: was a five to one win show Hey Otani went

2121
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Speaker 5: four for four with two homers in this series. Though

2122
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:30,720
Speaker 5: against the Braves, Otani, Max Munsey and Thos got Hernandez

2123
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 5: homered eight times, and the Dodger pitchers limited the Braves

2124
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:36,679
Speaker 5: to just six runs in twenty nine innings.

2125
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:39,280
Speaker 6: Like a complete sweep of the Braves.

2126
01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:41,920
Speaker 5: The Orioles crushed the Reds eleven to one, The Diamondbacks

2127
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 5: defeated the Padres eleven to four, and the Pirates defeated

2128
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,840
Speaker 5: the Rockies five to three. The Yankees they called the

2129
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:51,160
Speaker 5: game because of rain halfway through the seventh inning before

2130
01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:53,559
Speaker 5: going officially into the eighth inning, but they beat the.

2131
01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 6: Tigers five to two.

2132
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:57,120
Speaker 5: Also victories for the Guardians and the Rays, who walked

2133
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:00,000
Speaker 5: it off against the Mets, the Rangers. The Red side

2134
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 5: snapped the Twins twelve game winning streak. Red Sox won

2135
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 5: nine to two. Mariners won today, White Sox and the Cubs,

2136
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 5: who shut out the Brewers five zero on the ice.

2137
01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:14,920
Speaker 5: Round two of the NHL Playoffs officially started in New York.

2138
01:50:14,960 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 5: The Rangers edged the Hurricanes four three. That's five straight

2139
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,880
Speaker 5: wins for the Rangers to start the playoffs. But there

2140
01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:23,080
Speaker 5: will be a game seven that a Game seven that's

2141
01:50:23,080 --> 01:50:25,880
Speaker 5: about to start between the Stars and the Golden Knights.

2142
01:50:26,520 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 5: Tip off is or the puck is gonna drop literally

2143
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 5: any minute now, and this is a game seven. We've

2144
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,080
Speaker 5: got a game seven earlier today, or we had one

2145
01:50:33,120 --> 01:50:35,400
Speaker 5: in the NBA. It was a comeback win for the Caves.

2146
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:37,640
Speaker 5: They took down the Orlando Magic one O six to

2147
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:41,519
Speaker 5: ninety four. Donovan Mitchell thirty nine points in the win.

2148
01:50:41,840 --> 01:50:43,040
Speaker 6: And we've also got the.

2149
01:50:43,040 --> 01:50:47,200
Speaker 5: NASCAR Cup Series from Kansas officially, while not not really

2150
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:50,720
Speaker 5: into the third stage just yet, but Kyle Larson is

2151
01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:54,200
Speaker 5: currently in the lead one hundred and nineteen laps into

2152
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 5: the second stage.

2153
01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 6: So guys, it's been fun.

2154
01:50:58,320 --> 01:51:01,280
Speaker 2: Always, always, And I didn't mean to cut off your

2155
01:51:01,320 --> 01:51:05,840
Speaker 2: first comment there. The Giants short story. I mean too,

2156
01:51:06,040 --> 01:51:08,000
Speaker 2: this is a common thing with the hall pass.

2157
01:51:08,160 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 6: I bet you it is.

2158
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:11,519
Speaker 5: I bet you it's an agreement and it's just not

2159
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:15,360
Speaker 5: talked about because I mean, nobody wants to admit that, right,

2160
01:51:15,479 --> 01:51:18,120
Speaker 5: especially like a wife that they I wouldn't want to

2161
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:20,880
Speaker 5: admit that. But I I think it's more common than

2162
01:51:21,040 --> 01:51:21,720
Speaker 5: maybe we know.

2163
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:26,160
Speaker 3: I'll just say this. I do not have any information

2164
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 3: on this, but I think that it probably is a

2165
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:34,080
Speaker 3: lot in some relationships because it's just better to know

2166
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:38,160
Speaker 3: to know, but just also like, yeah, to know. But

2167
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 3: I think that there are sometimes when you know, not

2168
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:43,640
Speaker 3: breaking up and it's just not worth it, you know.

2169
01:51:44,320 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 3: So I would imagine it probably happens more often, but

2170
01:51:46,560 --> 01:51:49,519
Speaker 3: just not as open as as you know, it's mass

2171
01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 3: an advertisement, like like my husband's available.

2172
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 2: Exactly, come you know, come, you.

2173
01:51:56,200 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 3: Know, come say HIFU to me too. It's before social

2174
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:03,600
Speaker 3: media era, you know, it's kind of before like you know,

2175
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:04,960
Speaker 3: you slide the d ms.

2176
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:05,719
Speaker 2: Right.

2177
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 6: So that's a good point. That's a really good point.

2178
01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:11,400
Speaker 3: I wonder if she had to vet them to like it.

2179
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 6: She has to approve and he has to be like

2180
01:52:13,040 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 6: he is she okay? And she's like no, she's prettier

2181
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:16,280
Speaker 6: than me.

2182
01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:22,080
Speaker 3: You gotta go, you gotta go somewhere else. Wow. I

2183
01:52:22,080 --> 01:52:23,720
Speaker 3: didn't think we get to this today, but we are.

2184
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:27,559
Speaker 2: I have so many questions for Lincoln.

2185
01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 3: Who get him on next week? If we're working together again,

2186
01:52:30,600 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 3: can we get him on?

2187
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 2: Can we please know how great that would be? That

2188
01:52:34,439 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 2: would be sensational.

2189
01:52:36,240 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 3: No, we don't want to talk about the playoffs, buddy, okay,

2190
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:42,120
Speaker 3: we want to talk about your hall pass with your wife.

2191
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:44,280
Speaker 3: Explain how this works?

2192
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 4: Oh?

2193
01:52:45,320 --> 01:52:47,679
Speaker 3: Is he tindering? Is he just going Tinder? Like swiping

2194
01:52:47,680 --> 01:52:48,160
Speaker 3: a little bit?

2195
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:51,840
Speaker 2: My whole thing is right, That's what blows my mind.

2196
01:52:52,040 --> 01:52:54,839
Speaker 2: Is I get it? It's a hall pass. You don't expect.

2197
01:52:55,080 --> 01:53:00,280
Speaker 2: You don't tolerate cheating, but to get to the hall pass,

2198
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:00,920
Speaker 2: you know what I mean?

2199
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:07,240
Speaker 3: Like, look, jez okay, so like if he's I guess,

2200
01:53:07,240 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 3: if he's going out? One night stand obviously works, but

2201
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 3: who is signing up for a one night stand? Like

2202
01:53:15,439 --> 01:53:19,440
Speaker 3: when you meet someone in person sober, not at a

2203
01:53:19,520 --> 01:53:22,760
Speaker 3: club or bar. Like, hey, look here's the deal, lady,

2204
01:53:22,760 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 3: I met on Tinder one night with you. That's it,

2205
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:27,280
Speaker 3: that's all you signed up for.

2206
01:53:27,960 --> 01:53:31,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, I don't know, so many questions.

2207
01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:33,080
Speaker 2: So we got to get him on the show.

2208
01:53:33,080 --> 01:53:33,280
Speaker 3: Man.

2209
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:36,000
Speaker 2: We gotta get Andre Kirolinko on the show. We got

2210
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:38,599
Speaker 2: a lot to do. Let's go rapid fire to close

2211
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:41,600
Speaker 2: it down here, Jeff, I got so many things. We

2212
01:53:41,720 --> 01:53:45,200
Speaker 2: got potential prop bets coming up here. I want to

2213
01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:49,680
Speaker 2: throw this out. Could this team be the Dallas Mavericks

2214
01:53:50,040 --> 01:53:53,360
Speaker 2: of the NFL? Okay, okay, I want to throw that

2215
01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:59,479
Speaker 2: your way, among many other things. Jeff Schwartz, Brian now

2216
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 2: keep backed right here on Fox Sports Radio. I'm probably no.

2217
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 2: He's Jeff Schwartz here on Fox Sports Radio, coming to

2218
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 2: you from the Tirack dot Com studios. You know, it's

2219
01:54:13,880 --> 01:54:15,640
Speaker 2: kind of crazy if you stop and think about the

2220
01:54:15,720 --> 01:54:20,000
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs, Jeff, how sometimes the opposite of what we

2221
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 2: expected is happening. Where if you look at the Timberwolves,

2222
01:54:25,240 --> 01:54:28,040
Speaker 2: right they just beat the Nuggets in Game one, they

2223
01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:32,520
Speaker 2: swept the Suns. Think about what was commonly said about

2224
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:35,480
Speaker 2: the Timberwolves when they traded for Rudy Gobert. It was like,

2225
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:39,240
Speaker 2: are they drunk? What are they doing right now? And

2226
01:54:39,280 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 2: look at them now? And it was the opposite with

2227
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:45,640
Speaker 2: the Suns when the Suns got KD and then eventually

2228
01:54:45,680 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 2: Bradley Beal. We were like, this is gonna be amazing,

2229
01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:51,920
Speaker 2: and they got swept. And if you just take that

2230
01:54:52,080 --> 01:54:56,680
Speaker 2: concept and look team by team, sometimes it turns out

2231
01:54:56,720 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 2: to be the opposite of what we expected. The Clippers,

2232
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 2: we're all like, oh my gosh, Kawhi and Paul George,

2233
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be amazing. Not so much. Were we giddy

2234
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 2: about the Nuggets ever, They just want a championship. Yeah,

2235
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 2: we talked trash about the Celtics, like, hey, Tatum and Brown,

2236
01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:15,200
Speaker 2: they basically played the same position. Look at them now.

2237
01:55:15,520 --> 01:55:22,000
Speaker 2: You know, we often get fired up about the wrong teams, right.

2238
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:26,800
Speaker 3: Well, we know best. That's why. That's where the where

2239
01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 3: the fans like, we know best about roster moves, so

2240
01:55:29,640 --> 01:55:31,600
Speaker 3: we know that like what the team is doing is

2241
01:55:31,640 --> 01:55:34,440
Speaker 3: bad versus what they're doing is good, and then we

2242
01:55:34,600 --> 01:55:38,280
Speaker 3: never have to admit we're wrong ever. So No, I mean, look,

2243
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:45,360
Speaker 3: personnel and the match matters, like Rudy Gobert being matched

2244
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:49,440
Speaker 3: with and with with with Edwards and and with with

2245
01:55:49,600 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 3: kat like it works for them. Right. Getting Durant added

2246
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,840
Speaker 3: to the Suns, they's sort of too many of the

2247
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:02,240
Speaker 3: same type of player, right, Yeah, it so some of

2248
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 3: the times those fits don't matter. Look, the Nuggets kind

2249
01:56:05,680 --> 01:56:09,720
Speaker 3: of coming, not coming out of nowhere, but we unfortunately

2250
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:14,280
Speaker 3: like to focus on the big cities and big stories

2251
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 3: and you know, Warriors and Lakers and out West, and

2252
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:21,880
Speaker 3: the Nuggets are in Denver. They're not getting the attention that.

2253
01:56:23,080 --> 01:56:25,680
Speaker 3: Even this season, the Nuggets were on TV, but not

2254
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 3: as much as the Lakers and Warriors. The Wolves went

2255
01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:32,640
Speaker 3: on TV as much as the Lakers and Warriors, and

2256
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 3: part of that it's just kind of big city buys.

2257
01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,240
Speaker 3: When it came to I think for Denver's run, right

2258
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:38,280
Speaker 3: sort of, and the year before, if you recalled, Jamal

2259
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 3: Moyer was hurt, right, two years two years ago the

2260
01:56:40,800 --> 01:56:43,440
Speaker 3: ball even though was that the Bowl year or you're

2261
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:46,240
Speaker 3: after the year after the bubble? They they were he

2262
01:56:46,360 --> 01:56:49,040
Speaker 3: was hurt, right, So the Nuggets weren't as good as

2263
01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:51,240
Speaker 3: they could have been in that postseason as well. Right now,

2264
01:56:51,280 --> 01:56:53,400
Speaker 3: I'm watching the baseball game as you guys are right now.

2265
01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:57,680
Speaker 3: They just I don't watch a lot of sign night baseball.

2266
01:56:58,800 --> 01:57:00,520
Speaker 3: They just like straight up Mike the player and talked

2267
01:57:00,600 --> 01:57:01,000
Speaker 3: him all in.

2268
01:57:01,080 --> 01:57:06,000
Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, Marsh, they're just talking to Marsh like, hey, man,

2269
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:08,760
Speaker 2: so are the wife and kids are good? All right?

2270
01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 2: You know, base hit to right field.

2271
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:13,400
Speaker 3: I guess in this sport you can do that, right

2272
01:57:13,440 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 3: and you can catch a baseball wall talking.

2273
01:57:15,560 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you absolutely can do that.

2274
01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of cool.

2275
01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:20,760
Speaker 2: It is cool. It just you got to get the

2276
01:57:20,800 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 2: right person. I remember the All Star Game last year

2277
01:57:23,040 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 2: and they miked up Julio Rodriguez, who's a great player

2278
01:57:25,920 --> 01:57:30,120
Speaker 2: for the Seattle Mariners. He was the boringest interview I've

2279
01:57:30,160 --> 01:57:34,480
Speaker 2: ever heard. With my two years at guy provided absolutely nothing.

2280
01:57:34,520 --> 01:57:37,560
Speaker 2: And it's like, can we make up someone who's like entertaining?

2281
01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:39,080
Speaker 2: Can we do that? We don't care how great of

2282
01:57:39,080 --> 01:57:40,720
Speaker 2: a player he is, he's got to be entertaining if

2283
01:57:40,720 --> 01:57:41,680
Speaker 2: we're going to make him up.

2284
01:57:42,160 --> 01:57:44,560
Speaker 3: How does Marsh get his hair to look that wet?

2285
01:57:45,080 --> 01:57:48,480
Speaker 2: Oh he's constantly, you know, throwing some water on that.

2286
01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:54,400
Speaker 3: Yesterday my wife sent me a picture of Jason Worth

2287
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:58,480
Speaker 3: at the Kentucky Derby or baseball player and said, why can.

2288
01:57:58,360 --> 01:58:00,720
Speaker 2: You responded, no, Hall pass right? Is that what?

2289
01:58:00,840 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? That's what I tell I know. I She said,

2290
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 3: why is kid rock at the at the Derby? I said, Worth? Yeah,

2291
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:15,160
Speaker 3: used to play baseball and send a picture of I

2292
01:58:15,160 --> 01:58:16,840
Speaker 3: could just had a picture of Brandon marsh would in

2293
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:18,320
Speaker 3: the same picture we have gotten done.

2294
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:19,880
Speaker 2: They do look very similar.

2295
01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 3: It would have gone and done.

2296
01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 2: Let me throw something at you, okay, because I'm just

2297
01:58:25,560 --> 01:58:27,960
Speaker 2: gonna throw as much as we can shoehorn into this

2298
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:28,520
Speaker 2: bad boy.

2299
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:28,760
Speaker 3: You know.

2300
01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:30,760
Speaker 2: At the end of the show, I was thinking about

2301
01:58:30,800 --> 01:58:34,320
Speaker 2: this a little hybrid NBA playoffs and NFL. You tell

2302
01:58:34,360 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 2: me if I'm crazy here, Okay? Could the Dallas Mavericks

2303
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:43,040
Speaker 2: of the NFL this season turn out to be the

2304
01:58:43,080 --> 01:58:48,760
Speaker 2: New York Jets meaning this, Okay, there's some initial fanfare

2305
01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:51,480
Speaker 2: at the beginning. The Jets get Aaron Rodgers, Oh wow,

2306
01:58:52,200 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 2: the MAVs get Kyrie Irving, oh wow. And then last

2307
01:58:55,160 --> 01:58:58,040
Speaker 2: year it didn't work. They were an eleventh place team

2308
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,240
Speaker 2: in the West. They didn't even qualify for the play

2309
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:03,160
Speaker 2: in you know, and they just didn't have a whole

2310
01:59:03,200 --> 01:59:05,800
Speaker 2: lot of Hey, look out for Dallas this year, you know,

2311
01:59:06,480 --> 01:59:09,040
Speaker 2: And now look at them. Dallas is a lot better.

2312
01:59:09,040 --> 01:59:11,640
Speaker 2: You give it a little bit of time. Could in

2313
01:59:11,760 --> 01:59:14,880
Speaker 2: the Jets. It's not like they're a trendy pick to

2314
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,000
Speaker 2: be a really good team this year. I think a

2315
01:59:17,000 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 2: lot of people bought in last year, Rogers got hurt

2316
01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 2: and they're just off the grid right now in terms

2317
01:59:22,840 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 2: of like public appeal. Do you think the Jets could

2318
01:59:27,520 --> 01:59:29,960
Speaker 2: be the MAVs of the NFL this next year?

2319
01:59:31,000 --> 01:59:33,640
Speaker 3: What is lucas stance on vaccines? I think I need

2320
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,400
Speaker 3: to know that before determine whether or not. I mean,

2321
01:59:37,440 --> 01:59:42,040
Speaker 3: can you have two different ideologies owner between Cuban and

2322
01:59:42,080 --> 01:59:42,840
Speaker 3: the Johnsonville?

2323
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.

2324
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:48,480
Speaker 3: The reason we don't talk about the Jets is because

2325
01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:50,680
Speaker 3: I think people look at Rogers and think like, yeah,

2326
01:59:50,720 --> 01:59:52,240
Speaker 3: it's just not gonna work out. You know, like we

2327
01:59:52,240 --> 01:59:54,480
Speaker 3: talked about Dean Sanders and distractions and they're too again,

2328
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:57,360
Speaker 3: they're two different distractions, right and you look at how

2329
01:59:57,440 --> 01:59:59,800
Speaker 3: Rogers has spent his offseason and it's like they just

2330
02:00:00,000 --> 02:00:01,040
Speaker 3: I think a lot of us have been like, yeah,

2331
02:00:01,040 --> 02:00:03,600
Speaker 3: it's just not gonna work. It's just too it's too

2332
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 3: much noise around the Jets. And then there's up and

2333
02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:13,240
Speaker 3: coming players in the in the AFCJ Stroud. You know,

2334
02:00:13,280 --> 02:00:15,240
Speaker 3: the Bengals get healthy. They're not up and coming, but

2335
02:00:15,280 --> 02:00:17,720
Speaker 3: the Bengals are exciting team when they're healthy. Yeah, the

2336
02:00:17,800 --> 02:00:21,040
Speaker 3: Ravens you mentioned, we talked about the Dolphins earlier, the Chiefs,

2337
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:25,480
Speaker 3: the Chargers with Herbert and with Herbert and Harbaugh. It

2338
02:00:25,640 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 3: just there's better stories, there's more compelling teams. So I

2339
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:31,200
Speaker 3: think you're right about people not paying attention to Jets.

2340
02:00:31,240 --> 02:00:32,879
Speaker 3: But again, you look at all those teams at AFC

2341
02:00:32,920 --> 02:00:35,640
Speaker 3: and you're like, yeah, are the Jets gonna be the

2342
02:00:35,640 --> 02:00:36,600
Speaker 3: contender in the AFC?

2343
02:00:36,920 --> 02:00:40,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fair. I think it's similar with the MAVs.

2344
02:00:40,240 --> 02:00:42,760
Speaker 2: If you look at the competition in the West, there's

2345
02:00:42,800 --> 02:00:45,920
Speaker 2: a lot there. There are a lot of roadblocks in

2346
02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:49,480
Speaker 2: their way. But it's just weird to me where Kyrie

2347
02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 2: went there and there's all sorts of fan fair it

2348
02:00:51,600 --> 02:00:55,440
Speaker 2: didn't work immediately, Yeah, and we're just like, eh, not

2349
02:00:55,600 --> 02:00:58,640
Speaker 2: into it anymore. That's what's weird to me about the Jets.

2350
02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:01,440
Speaker 2: There were so many people who bought into the Jets

2351
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 2: going into last year where it's like Aaron Rodgers with

2352
02:01:04,760 --> 02:01:08,000
Speaker 2: a real defense, they could be good, And that just

2353
02:01:08,040 --> 02:01:11,160
Speaker 2: doesn't seem like anybody's on that train going into this

2354
02:01:11,320 --> 02:01:11,920
Speaker 2: next season.

2355
02:01:12,600 --> 02:01:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm surely not. I think I would take their

2356
02:01:14,200 --> 02:01:17,760
Speaker 3: under at the moment, just nine and a half, I

2357
02:01:17,800 --> 02:01:21,280
Speaker 3: think I saw Yeah, you know, but Kyrie and Rogers

2358
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:24,080
Speaker 3: would probably have a good meal together one day they could.

2359
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:28,360
Speaker 2: They might always fun. Jeff will hopefully text you winning bets.

2360
02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:31,400
Speaker 2: That's assuming you actually get my text messages and my

2361
02:01:31,440 --> 02:01:32,800
Speaker 2: phone stops being stupid.
