Speaker 3: lead on things. Oh, it's a.

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: Complicated poll question though, so that's a tough one.

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: And then we also put up there the best places

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,320

00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,840

Speaker 2: the Windy City Bulls and the all time leading scorer

35
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: in G League history. Were you aware of that record

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: the other night when you put up fifty.

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: Nine, Yeah, it was a really cool moment.

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: Man.

39
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: I think my teammates they were they're like, you're getting

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 5: this record tonight. So they had my support and they

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 5: really wanted me to break it, so it was a

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 5: really cool moment.

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 2: Man, how much could you score in a game?

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 5: The fifty nine was pretty exhausting, so I don't know.

45
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 5: I don't know how much more I could do than that,

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 5: So I'd probably say that's close to my limit.

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 2: So you can't go eighty three like Bam out of Bayo.

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 5: I haven't done it yet, man, I don't know. That's

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 5: that's incredibly impressive, I think, no matter what the situation is,

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 5: So that's that was really cool.

51
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 2: What are you told? Because we see your abilities? But

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: what do teams tell you when you get a ten

53
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: day contract or you're brought up for a little while

54
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: and then you go back to the G League.

55
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's kind of different in every situation, you know.

56
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 5: I think, you know, being in this situation where you're

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 5: fighting to find a roster spot, you different teams need

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 5: different things. So whatever it is, I try to adapt

59
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 5: and do that, you know. And it's been tough, man.

60
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 5: A lot of times I've I've been told, you know,

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 5: you're an NBA player like a coach. I had actually

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 5: one year, you know, being on a two way year

63
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: at the bottom of the roster. You made the roster,

64
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: but you're kind of the guy that goes back and forth.

65
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 5: And I had a coach tell me one year, He's like, man,

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 5: you're an NBA player, Like all you need is an opportunity,

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 5: and like almost like was laughing.

68
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 4: I was like, well, you got to give.

69
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: Me that opportunity.

70
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 5: Really, I'm just trying to make the most of whatever

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 5: this situation is. It's tough, man.

72
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 2: Well you hear about you don't play defense, or you're

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 2: not good at playing defense, you're not good off the ball,

74
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: like these are things that have been said. Are those fair?

75
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 2: Those fair criticisms?

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: You know, my two games this year when I got

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 5: called up at the beginning of the year where I

78
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 5: got legitim minutes, I was actually eat in the league

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: and steels.

80
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 4: So I don't know if I agree with that totally.

81
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 4: So it's tough. There's always gonna be something, man.

82
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 5: I felt like, that's the thing I've been trying to

83
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 5: do in the G League is just show like, oh

84
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 5: you said this wasn't that That's well that's not the case.

85
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: And some people are always going to say certain things, man.

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 5: But I've really got a lot of love and respect

87
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 5: from you know, peers, in the league that I really

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 5: appreciate and coaches in the league that I really looked

89
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: up too. So I think just just trying to find

90
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 5: that opportunity in that right situation.

91
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Man, what was your welcome to the NBA moment?

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 4: I would say with.

93
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 5: The with the Lakers, that was where I started, and

94
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 5: that team was Lebron, Carmelo Rondo, Dwight Howard, and I

95
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: was just like, I'm this kid from this small talent

96
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 5: gate city. I'm like, what amy in some video game

97
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 5: right now? So that that was shocking and something I

98
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 5: had to adjust to for a couple of days.

99
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: Did you get to keep the uniform?

100
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 6: Yeah?

101
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: Absolutely. I always always try to make sure I keep

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 5: that and have it. You know, some of my kids

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 5: hopefully can see it one day.

104
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: Do you introduce yourself to Lebron or does he say

105
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: Alo to you?

106
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 5: I would I definitely introduce myself, and yeah, I don't

107
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 5: think he in that situation he would ever have to

108
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 5: introduce himself to me. So yeah, it was an honor

109
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 5: being just a part of that and getting to see

110
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 5: some things.

111
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: But are you starstruck on the floor when you're playing,

112
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: Like I'm guarding this guy that I grew up watching

113
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 2: Did you have that moment?

114
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 4: I think in my first year, you know, you just

115
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 4: adjusted that.

116
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: I think at the end of the day, we're all

117
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 5: competitors and you want to win, and you kind of

118
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 5: flip that switch once you get on the floor. But

119
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 5: there's a level of respect, you know, when you're a

120
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 5: little kid and you watch someone and they mean something

121
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 5: to you, they make you love the game that you're

122
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 5: always going to have for those people.

123
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: Do you think you're too good at dunking that it

124
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: overshadowed you as a basketball player, that maybe you were

125
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: looked at as he does that and not maybe being

126
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: fair to your actual basketball game.

127
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 5: I think that that could be maybe something from the

128
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: outside of eye. But like these scouts and these teams,

129
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 5: like their job is to know basketball players. So I

130
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 5: think anybody that like knows basketball like that is just

131
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 5: something I got to be a part of, and I'm

132
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 5: incredibly grateful for I lean into it, you know, like

133
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 5: that was such a cool thing that I got to do.

134
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 5: There's I'm never gonna be like, oh man, I hate

135
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: dunking now because of that, Like that's a beautiful part.

136
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:18,559
Speaker 4: Of my life.

137
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, the people that really love

138
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: basketball and into basketball, Like that's just a part of me.

139
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 4: That's not really who I am.

140
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: He's Mac McClung, the Windy City Bulls.

141
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 7: Uh.

142
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 2: But why not be in the Slam Dunk Contest this year?

143
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 5: Well, they quite frankly, they didn't really want me in

144
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 5: it this year, so that was it was like a

145
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 5: they wanted me in it, and then some things happened,

146
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 5: and uh, you know, it kind of just went back

147
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 5: and forth and at the end they kind of didn't

148
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 5: want me in the contest.

149
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 4: So I'd already prepared.

150
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 5: That's why I released those dunks on social media, because

151
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: I'd already prepared. And I was like, well, you know,

152
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 5: I teamed up with a company marketing, and I was like, well,

153
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 5: I might as well make the most of this.

154
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,119
Speaker 2: But I'm just was it you weren't on a roster

155
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: or is that why they didn't want to in the

156
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: slam Dunk Contest?

157
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 4: No?

158
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 5: I made the Chicago Bulls roster maybe a little bit

159
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 5: before that, So I don't know they told me that

160
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 5: it was. It was just it was a weird situation, man.

161
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 5: I think they they said a couple of guys didn't.

162
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: Want to do it.

163
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: If I was in it and I was like, Okay,

164
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 5: well I don't want to ruin that, and hey.

165
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: What what Why wouldn't they want to be in there

166
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 2: because they you were going to win?

167
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I feel like these a lot

168
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: of these guys are really talented, so that wouldn't make

169
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 5: sense to me. I mean a lot of things in

170
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 5: this league don't make sense a lot of time.

171
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 4: I'm just going with the flow, man, I really am

172
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 4: just going with the flow.

173
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 8: Off.

174
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: How would you do Michael Jordan in his prime you

175
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: in your prime slam dunk contest?

176
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: That's a tough question, Dan.

177
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 5: I think, uh, the times have changed, like kind of

178
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 5: like in the game of basketball, like everything progresses. So

179
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 5: I think if Michael Jordan was in this era, he

180
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: would probably have so much different dunks and so many

181
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 5: creative things. So, I mean I would I think I'd

182
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 5: be a little crazy to say I'd take over MJ

183
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 5: like that, man, so and I got a lot of

184
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 5: so much respect and love for him. I would never

185
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: say that I'd beat him, but it'd be fun.

186
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: I would. I would definitely take the challenge. It'd be

187
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: a lot of fun.

188
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 5: Have you met him, No, never met himj before to

189
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: be super cool.

190
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: Though, can you leave from the foul line?

191
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: My my best jumps are off two feet When I

192
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: was in high school, man, when I was when I

193
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 5: was younger, I used to.

194
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: Be wasn't that long ago, Matt.

195
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 4: Years to everyone you are.

196
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 2: You were really you've got you got like viral famous

197
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: in high school, it was like Zion Williamson, this guy.

198
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: You know, everybody wanted to see those videos, like did

199
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 2: you feel like a star when you were in high school?

200
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 4: That was some crazy, crazy times I was.

201
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 5: I was in a town of fifteen hundred people, so

202
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 5: everybody already kind of knew me. And it was the

203
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: cool part about it was when we would travel to

204
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 5: different schools, they would like school would like shut down

205
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 5: early because people would be outside waiting for the games.

206
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 5: And it kind of felt like we were the kind

207
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: of like this band that was traveling. It was like

208
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 5: me and my best friends. Man, it was such a

209
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 5: cool experience.

210
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: And you know you go on YouTube and be like, oh,

211
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: that got two million views last night. It's just it

212
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 4: was it was.

213
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: So weird being from a small town and like getting

214
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 5: that attention. Man, But it was really cool for me

215
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 5: my friends.

216
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,719
Speaker 2: So it was boy band, you were like, you know,

217
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 2: new kids on the block or one dementia one h

218
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: what is it? One direction?

219
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we weren't that cool, but we were good. It

220
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 4: really did make us feel good.

221
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 2: So what's the future? What are you twenty seven?

222
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 4: Twenty seven years old? The future?

223
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 6: For me?

224
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 4: Man, I'm not sure.

225
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 5: I've really like kind of going back to this situation

226
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: and the record and my G League career, Like, all

227
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 5: I've tried to do done I will try to do

228
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 5: is is make the most of wherever I'm at in

229
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 5: that moment, and whether that be the dunk contest, the

230
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 5: opportunity I was getting with that, or being in the

231
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 5: G League. I've I've just tried to make the most

232
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: of the situation. So I'm not attached to the outcome,

233
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 5: but just whatever happens is. I really truly believe I'm

234
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 5: not a victim of anything, man. So whatever happens is

235
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 5: is how it's supposed to be. Official height and weight

236
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 5: I'm measured to have to come out.

237
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 4: I measured six to two.

238
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe it looks better when you're shorter, Like if

239
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,239
Speaker 2: you're six six doing that, it's not as impressive.

240
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe I maybe wish I was six six, that

241
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 4: would probably give me.

242
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: But if you're six six, you're not winning the Slam

243
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: Dunk Contest, but you're playing in the NBA.

244
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 4: There we go. Well, that's that's the interesting trade off.

245
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 2: Hey, it's been fun, been entertaining. I hope you get

246
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: that true shot where you get to actually play and uh,

247
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: you know, prove a lot of these people wrong. So

248
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: congratulations on the scoring record.

249
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 4: Dan, I really appreciate it. Man, I appreciate you having

250
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: me on. Thank you very much.

251
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: It's Mac McClung. He's the all time leading scorer in

252
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: G League history. And I was looking at some of

253
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: the things that analysts will say or scouts will say

254
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: with Mac, and you know, not a consistent outside shooter,

255
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: not good off the ball. He's really good with the

256
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: ball in his hands. And of course they bring up defense,

257
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 2: like defense is tricky because are you good on the ball,

258
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: are you good playing the passing lanes? Now, Iverson wasn't

259
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: good on the ball as much as he was playing

260
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: passing lanes. You know, Gary Payton was good on the ball.

261
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: Like there's certain guys on the ball and they played

262
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: the passing lanes. But you know, with Mac as he's saying, look,

263
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: I was leading the team and steals, you know, And

264
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: I thought maybe he could be And I hate the stereotype,

265
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: but like he could be a Peyton Pritchard. But you

266
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: know that second unit coming in giving you energy there.

267
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: But Peyton Pritchard can play on the ball. He can

268
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 2: have the ball and be off the ball. He can

269
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: be a catch and shoot guy. And I think, but

270
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: I still like the Brooklyn Nets. Nobody cares about the

271
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: Brooklyn Nets if you had Mac there and just say

272
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: go out there and be Iverson. By the way, broke

273
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 2: Iverson's state record scoring when he was in high school.

274
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: And some of those videos with him, I mean he

275
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: is attacking people when he's dunking. He's dunking in trash.

276
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: Show me a great dunker. I'll show you a great

277
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 2: dunker who dunks in traffic.

278
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, Paulie, like you said, this guy's been around a

279
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 9: long time. Those McClung highlights on social media. That was

280
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 9: ten years ago, and he got really well known, went

281
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 9: to Georgetown for a bit. It's just a weird thing

282
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 9: how some players can't stick. It's apples and oranges. But

283
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 9: like Jimmer Fredett, Yeah, Jimmer Furdett started seven NBA games.

284
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 9: He played a few places and got a little bit

285
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 9: of run, but never a commitment.

286
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, and we always go, oh, you know,

287
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: Jimmer Fode could be Steph Curry. No, he could. Steph

288
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 2: Curry is one of the great ball handlers of all time,

289
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 2: one of the quickest shots of all time. Jim er

290
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: had range. Jimmer was great in college. Yes, Marv and

291
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: Mac and Jimmer.

292
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 10: The big thing that they have in common besides you

293
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 10: know what, is they're smaller shooting guards. Yeah, so I

294
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 10: think that's the thing in macket it on head. If

295
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 10: he was six six, there's not a question of whether

296
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 10: he's on the NBA roster too. And also he's a

297
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 10: guy with the who's ball dominant and in the NBA

298
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 10: it's a lot of I have the star, but I

299
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 10: need you to catch and shoot and make fifty percent

300
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 10: of those three point shots that you'd take in a game.

301
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you'd have to have him be Allen Iverson

302
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 2: where you say you're going to be our our point guard,

303
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: but you're our scoring guard as well, and you let

304
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: him have the ball. Most teams aren't going to allow

305
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: that to happen, and at this age of his career,

306
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. But if I'm Brooklyn, I

307
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: bring him in last couple of weeks of the season.

308
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: I have some fun, Yes, Mar he'd be like Donovan Mitchell,

309
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell, Yeah, I know, yeah, but he's he's a

310
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: build and he's solid six two. Yes, Paulie mac.

311
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 9: McClung should have pretended to be European coming out.

312
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: Of high school.

313
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 9: He sounds Irish, even Northern Irish.

314

00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 2: against guys who were great in high school, probably really

326
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,440

Speaker 8: everyone knows that everyone's watching, so you know, the referees

362

00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,360

374
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 8: I'll go back to Danny. When I want to feel

375
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 8: younger because I'm old, maybe seventies, I'll go back to Danny.

376
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I know that you've reached out to

377
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 2: a lot of people when you consider the Lakers job.

378
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 2: You reached out to Tom Izzo, who you face tomorrow night.

379
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: What did coach say, because I know he was thinking

380
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: about going to the Cavaliers the uh what was that

381
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 2: the year that Lebron left the Cavaliers. He was going

382
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 2: to win and coach? So what advice did he give

383
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: you on the Lakers?

384
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 6: John?

385
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, you know, coaches though he uh he

386
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 8: walked me through just you know, his his thought process

387
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 8: when he went through, uh you know, like the you know,

388
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 8: the decision making of of of making that move to

389
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 8: the NBA and and the pros and cons and uh,

390
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 8: you know he obviously you know at that time, you know,

391
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 8: college was very different, and uh, you know the point

392
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 8: that coaching had made to me was, you know, hey,

393
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 8: I think he really got to consider it our sport

394
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 8: right now, it's uh, you know, it's it's it's so unregulated.

395
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 6: It's such a mess.

396
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 8: Uh, you know that, you know, I would have considered

397
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 8: this more now than I did back when college basketball,

398
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 8: you know, was you know, more regulated. So but I

399
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 8: you know, coaches been there for me on lots of

400
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 8: different things, you know, And I've studied coach for a

401
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 8: long time, Like I have all the great coaches, you know,

402
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 8: I studied, you know, their films as a high school coach,

403
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 8: trying to learn you know, favorite practice drills of Tom Izzo,

404
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 8: anything on motivation and leadership, culture building.

405
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 6: And I've studied all the great coaches and taken advice

406
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 6: from all the great ones.

407
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 2: Can you see yourself coaching at his age?

408
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 8: I can't see myself coaching at his age. But I

409
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 8: also can't see myself not coaching, you know, like when

410
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 8: you're part of teams and this is so much for

411
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 8: a part of your identity. I always say to myself,

412
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 8: I can't believe these guys are coaching in their seventies.

413
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, but then you know, then you find yourself

414
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 8: coaching in your seventies.

415
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: Like Patino, I mean, he's a life.

416
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 8: I mean, these guys are It's incredible to me, you know,

417
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 8: like it really is the energy level how they you know,

418
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 8: the thing about college you know, college coaching, college basketball

419
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 8: is like that. You know, the head coach drives the organization.

420
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 8: I mean they derive drive at drive it and are

421
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 8: pushing everyone around them to the max. And you know,

422
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 8: obviously you know what the amount of years those guys

423
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 8: put in and what they achieved and to still be

424
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 8: pushing that hard in their seventies incredible.

425
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: Can you be out coached?

426
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 8: I think that's a little bit of h whoever won

427
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 8: the game out coached the other guy. Thing, you know,

428
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 8: I think I think it's more about matchups, especially this

429
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 8: time of the year. Yeah, you've got great coaches coaching

430
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 8: all sixteen of these teams. Yeah, it all comes down.

431
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 8: So I think matchups, who's playing their best at this

432
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 8: time of year, halftime adjustments and all that stuff.

433
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 6: I think it's way way overrated.

434
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: Talking to Dan Hurley, the Connecticut basketball coach, they got

435
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: Michigan State tomorrow night. Saint John's getting a five seed

436
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: after winning the Big East is blank.

437
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 8: Crap, you know, I mean, I mean, you know, crap,

438
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 8: and then having the the you know, the two these teams.

439
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, in the same region. You know, it's

440
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 6: probably the same.

441
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Do you think that they were hoping that there would

442
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: be a rematch? I mean committee, Yeah.

443
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 8: I mean I think that they're definitely the Committee either

444
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 8: got a weird sense of humor or they do a

445
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 8: great job of trying to give the people what they want.

446
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: And I think no matter how this.

447
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 8: Week ends up in uh, you know, in DC, you're

448
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 8: going to get an a lead eight game. That's going

449
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 8: to be you know, it's going to be incredible when

450
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 8: you've got you know, Duke, you know, Rick Patino and

451
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 8: Saint John's, Yukon and Michigan State.

452
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: I had somebody ask me this and I didn't know

453
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 2: if they were joking, and I realized they weren't. They said,

454
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: can Yukon be a Cinderella story as a two seed?

455
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 2: I go, no, Well, I'll ask you, are you a

456
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: Cinderella story this year?

457
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 7: No?

458
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 6: I don't think so.

459
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 8: I think we've been uh, you know, consistently, you know,

460
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 8: consistently great though whole year. You know, we haven't always Yeah,

461
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 8: we haven't performed in the championship moments. So it'll be

462
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 8: interesting to see how we respond this week. But you know,

463
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 8: we played or we had as good a non conference

464
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 8: wins as anyone in the country, and then we went

465
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 8: nineteen and three in the Big East, so you know,

466
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 8: and then yeah, we won our first too, you know,

467
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 8: first two tournament games by double figure points. So I

468
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 8: do think we're you know, we're kind of coming in,

469
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 8: you know, a lot quieter than we did in twenty

470
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 8: three and twenty four, and that's probably serves us pretty well.

471
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: I'm curious about the future of the mid major here, Dan,

472
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: because I don't know if these last two years are

473
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 2: an aberration or is that the future of the blue

474
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: bloods are are going to take over and mid majors

475
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 2: are not going to be what they used to be.

476
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I definitely think that.

477
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 8: You know, I think it's gonna get tougher for mid

478
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,120
Speaker 8: majors because I think more high majors are going to

479
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 8: spend more money in this offseason, so I think it's

480
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 8: going to get even tougher. I think to make the

481
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 8: ns A tournament, and then I think it's going to

482
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 8: be tougher for the mid majors. But then I also

483
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 8: on the flip side, I think you're going to see

484
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 8: even more international players coming into college basketball. I just

485
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 8: think the inventory is going to grow as it makes

486
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 8: more sense for international players that can make more money

487
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 8: in college in America, and then that I think is

488
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 8: just going to create more inventory of talent that the

489
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 8: mid major you know, ends up with better players and

490
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 8: they could maybe you know, win more of these early

491
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 8: conference games.

492
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 2: But I wonder, though, if you would rather get a

493
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: transfer who has proven or you got a high school kid.

494
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 6: I mean, in the perfect world, I'd rather have the

495
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 6: high school kid. And I think the way that we

496
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 6: try to do it is.

497
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 8: A majority of our team we want as homegrown boys

498
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 8: that we developed a relatelationship with. We have a culture,

499
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 8: we got a real connection, you got a real fabric

500
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 8: of a team and uh and that's supplement with with

501
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 8: what you need in the portal or or at least

502
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 8: you know, in most cases have multiple years with the transfer,

503
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 8: so it doesn't feel so transactional and it doesn't feel

504
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 8: like you're just putting together a mercenary squad.

505
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: What's the most money somebody has asked you for.

506
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 6: Four and a half million?

507
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: I think, how does that conversation go?

508
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 8: It doesn't actually go on with me because I I'll

509
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 8: meet with the agents to talk about the vision for

510
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 8: the player, you know, on the official visit with the

511
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 8: with the transfer or the high school player. They could

512
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 8: sit in on you know, how we plan to develop

513
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 8: the player, how do we use them in the system

514
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 8: or whatever. But once we get to uh, you know,

515
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 8: any type of negotiating, that just goes to the GM

516
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 8: Tom Moore and then uh, he just kind of walks

517
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 8: in and out of the boardroom telling me where where

518
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,360
Speaker 8: the negotiations going, and then you know, yeah, I try

519
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 8: to stay out of that. I don't, you know, the

520
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 8: negotiations get personal.

521
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: How would you do coaching the Yukon women's team and

522
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 2: how would Gino do well coaching the men's team?

523
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 8: Well, I think Yo Gino would obviously do better coaching

524
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 8: the men's team to coaching the women because, you know,

525
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 8: you know, because Gino's maybe you know, the best coach

526
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 8: of all time. So I would be I don't I

527
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 8: would be more relaxed, obviously, I wouldn't be.

528
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: I would enjoy I don't know.

529
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 8: They've won twenty seven or twelve thirty games this year

530
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 8: by twenty five points or more. I don't know how

531
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 8: I would handle that. I don't know what type of

532
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 8: stress I would create? And uh, you know, what type

533
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 8: of tension could I create there? It would probably make

534
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 8: me crazy. I would long for a brutal loss at

535
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 8: some point.

536
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: You would you would probably consult your wife a lot more.

537
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 6: I would, Uh, yeah, she she would.

538
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, she'd have a lot to say too, and she'd

539
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 8: be constantly monitoring me.

540
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 2: You you would have to find somebody to yell at,

541
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 2: and it'd be hard to find somebody to yell at

542
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 2: on the women's team.

543
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 8: It would be and you know, and I don't know,

544
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:25,119
Speaker 8: I I or the officials are mostly female or I mean,

545
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 8: it's it was that half and half, you know, I

546
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 8: just it'd be an adjustment week, different world.

547
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: Will you watch the games tonight?

548
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, we'll keep these guys up and do video.

549
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 8: It's it's you know, the game's gonna start for us

550
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 8: close to nine, you know, so we but but last

551
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 8: week we played it at I think we started our

552
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 8: first round game at ten thirty Eastern times, so our

553
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 8: body clock is used to playing late at night. But yeah,

554
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 8: I mean only in years that I get eliminated early,

555
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 8: do I not watch? I? Uh, you know, I refuse

556
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 8: I I uh I boycott the ornament in years where

557
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 8: we're not in contention.

558
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that. You know, why why put yourself

559
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 2: through the agony of watching somebody and you go, we're

560
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: better than them.

561
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 6: Yeah.

562
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 8: And it's like, you know, when you're a little kid

563
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 8: or something, and if you didn't get invited to a

564
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 8: birthday party or a pool party or something in your neighborhood,

565
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 8: and then what are you going to do? Go up

566
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 8: to the fence and listen to the kids splash around

567
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 8: in the water. No one's doing that.

568
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 2: Is there something you're you want to tell me that

569
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: you didn't get invited to the pool parties in the neighborhood.

570
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: Did anybody have a pool in Jersey City?

571
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 6: There was one.

572
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 8: There was one up at the top of the block,

573
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 8: right down a couple of houses down from Darren Sabno

574
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 8: buddy of ours coaches at UCLA, And there was literally

575
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 8: one pool in this like probably two block radius. And

576
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 8: on the way to the park where my where my

577
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 8: dad and mom would put us through the drills, me

578
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 8: and my brother, the jump rope, the ball handling drills,

579
00:27:58,680 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 8: the shooting drills.

580
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 6: In the heat this summer, we had to kind of.

581
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 8: Dribble past that pool while they were splashing around barbecuing

582
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 8: listening to music in like June, July, August.

583
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 6: So no scars.

584
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, but how many titles did those people win?

585
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't think. I don't think they Yeah,

586
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 6: sports wasn't their deal?

587
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: Was your mom putting you through drills with your dad?

588
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, because during the week my dad, you know, he

589
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 8: was a probation officer, you know, so during the summer,

590
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 8: my dad didn't teach it Saint Anthony, so he didn't

591
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 8: get the summers off. So you know, either me and

592
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 8: Bob would write up the plan for today or my

593
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 8: dad would have the workout writ Now do you be

594
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 8: brown box drills?

595
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 6: The agility warm up.

596
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 8: I mean we would make chalk, you know, exes on

597
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 8: the on the court so we could do our agility work.

598
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 8: My mom would have a whistle and she would put

599
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 8: us through the paces as the neighbor as people would

600
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 8: be looking out at us in astonishment. Neighbors.

601
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: So your dad probation officer, I'm gonna guess, pretty tough

602
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 2: to get away with stuff in in your teens.

603
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 6: Yes, scare, I mean, yeah, you knew.

604
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 8: I mean he uh, just growing up in Jersey City,

605
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 8: you know the things that he did, uh, just as

606
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 8: a kid that was raised in the street and uh

607
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 8: as an outside dog, not an indoor dog, and uh

608
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 8: I mean he uh you know, and then being the

609
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 8: probation officer kind of driving around with him when he

610
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 8: would go on house calls trying to find uh, you know,

611
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 8: I guess his clients that had not come in to

612
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 8: take uh, you know, the the urine test or what

613
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 8: have you? Just seeing grown men scramble as the Dodge

614
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 8: caravan was driving down Martin Luther King Drive. You know,

615
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 8: you you you know, you can't get away with stuff.

616
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 2: But I wonder that had you been, you know, raised

617
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 2: in the suburbs as opposed to where you're raised, would

618
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 2: you be how different would you be or would you

619
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: be different as a person, as a coach player.

620
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 6: I would be a lot different.

621
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 8: I think the you know, the advantage of growing up

622
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 8: you know where we grew up, growing up in the city,

623
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 8: growing up in North Jersey, Jersey City.

624
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 7: Uh.

625
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 8: You know, I just think you've got a real versatile, relatable.

626
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 6: Way about you. Uh.

627
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 8: You know, you feel like you could, you know, communicate

628
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 8: with a with a very diverse group of people from

629
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 8: all different types of backgrounds. I mean, Jersey City, I think,

630
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 8: next to Queens is the most diverse city in America. So, uh,

631
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 8: you know it's you develop, you know, a connection to

632
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 8: all people. You're comfortable out on the street corner, but

633
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 8: you're also you develop a comfortability uh in the boardroom.

634
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 2: Great to talk to you. Do you have big plans

635
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: for today?

636
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 6: Just the final prep.

637
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:56,959
Speaker 8: I mean, this is actually a good time of year, Dan,

638
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 8: because the practices are short, the hay is in the

639
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 8: barn and h and you feel a lot less pressure

640
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 8: this year. You feel like, get to this weekend. You're

641
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 8: back in contention. You're you know, you're playing one of

642
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 8: the best teams in the country in Michigan State. Uh,

643
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 8: you knows. Uh, it feels like a lot of pressure

644
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 8: is off. Let's let's let it go rip.

645
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Did you just come on because you were bored today?

646
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

647
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 7: I do.

648
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 8: I need time filling just brain right now needs distraction.

00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: to talk to you, Good luck tomorrow night. Appreciate you Dad,

00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley or Danny Hurley, depending on how old he is.

652
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: Jersey City, Jersey City now is a whole lot different

653
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 2: than Jersey City back when he grew up, because I

654
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 2: remember I wasn't going into Jersey City. I remember when

655
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: I was in New York in the early eighties, people

656
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 2: talked about Jersey City and it usually wasn't something good. Uh,

664
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the World Series odds. Would you be

665
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 2: interested in the difference between the Dodgers and the second

666
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: place team? Yes, you would the Dodgers to win the

667
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: World Series plus two thirty, the Yankees plus one thousand.

668
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: Then it's the Mariners, Mets, Blue Jays, Red Sox, and

669
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 2: the Phillies. Those are the latest odds according to DraftKings.

670
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: But the Dodgers, who will make their season debut coming

671
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 2: up tonight against the Diamondbacks. You can watch that game

672
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 2: on Peacock and NBC, which is where you can find

673
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 2: our program on Peacock. All right, let me see this

674
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 2: day in sports history. You know we were thinking about

675
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 2: this with Dan Hurley and Gino Oriema. Those are the

676
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 2: two biggest personalities I think in college basketball. If you

677
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: look what Gino's done with the women's team and then

678
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: Dan Hurley with the men's team. Now there's other you know,

679
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 2: Rick Patino's of personality, John kevil Perry's of personality, but

680
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,120
Speaker 2: I don't think they're on the level of personality like

681
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: winning in personality together. You know, that's Dan Hurley. And

682
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 2: now you can say he's polarizing. Uh you know, he

683
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 2: can be petulant. But you know even when he said

684
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 2: if I coach the women's team, I don't you know,

685
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 2: there'd be no tension, very little stress. I'd have to

686
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: find that. You know, you're almost you almost need that.

687
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 2: I think he needs that environment, and I think he

688
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 2: might lose his uh Luke Murray, Bill murray son, who's

689
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 2: an assistant coach who buy a lot of different people

690
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 2: who know college basketball. Bill Murray's son is a very

691
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 2: very bright basketball mind, and it looks like he is

692
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 2: in line for the Boston College. John all right, PAULI

693
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 2: this Dane sports history.

694
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, don't have that many. One thing about the Dodgers.

695
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 9: They won ninety three last year. They didn't win one

696
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 9: hundred and five and they only got past the Padres

697
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 9: by three games. Brewers had more wins, Phillies had more wins.

698
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 9: Not there are no teams that won one hundred games

699
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:33,319
Speaker 9: last year.

700
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: And keep in mind how close that World Series was

701
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:43,280
Speaker 2: with the Blue Jays. They you know, six inches five inches,

702
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: you know they score. But you know, it's hard to

703
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 2: really make a case to go against somebody other than

704
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. You know, we do this. We used to

705
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: do this with Tiger at a major. Hey, Tiger of

706
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: the field, if I gave you the Dodgers of the field,

707
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 2: to me, that's different. I would take the field against

708
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 2: the Dodgers. Just because things happen along the way. If

709
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 2: somebody gets hurt, or somebody all of a sudden finds

710
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 2: a couple of really good players who become great players.

711
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 2: You know, there's magic that happens. You know, the Diamondbacks

712
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 2: going to the World Series a couple of years ago,

713
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: like who would have thought. You know, we've seen the

714
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 2: Rangers come out of nowhere, Giants come out of nowhere,

715
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 2: are the Cardinals? Can you check the over under for

716
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: wins for the Saint Louis Cardinals? Is it at seventy?

717
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: I have a friend who lives in Saint Louis, and

718
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 2: he said, you know, are we going to be an

719
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 2: all time bad team? I go, You're the Cardinals? Is

720
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: the over under seventy wins? This seventy and a half?

721
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 9: Paulie, I saw seventy one and a half from a

722
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 9: couple of weeks ago. But the Cardinals were seventy eight

723
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 9: and eighty four last year, nineteen games out of first. Dang,

724
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 9: that is rare.

725
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 10: Yes, Mark, Yes, one of our backroom guys just better

726
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 10: on them. The over under is sixty nine and a half.

727
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 2: Way Dang gambling podcasts coming up after this show at

728
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: Dan patrick dot com. The Toddcast latest edition is up

729
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 2: there as well. All right, Paul, this Dane sports history.

730
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 9: This is one of my favorites. Dan nineteen thirty one,

731
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 9: Boston Bruins coach Art Ross became the first NHL coach

732
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,240
Speaker 9: to pull the goalie for an extra attacker. The Bruins

733
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,480
Speaker 9: did lose that game in the Stanley Cup semis, but

734
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 9: it was in the Stanley Cup. Can you imagine him

735
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 9: waving to the goalkeeper, Hey.

736
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 2: Come here, No, what are you talking about? I can't

737
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 2: come here first time? Yeah. Nineteen seventy nine, Magic over

738
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 2: Larry Bird. Nineteen seventy three, Bill Walton went twenty one

739
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,280
Speaker 2: of twenty two and he was the most out standing player.

740
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: UCLA their seventh straight title, but they only won by

741
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: five over Memphis. I think Bill, if you check that

742
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: box score, so he missed one. He missed one field

743
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,919
Speaker 2: goal and that might have been offensive goaltending on Bill.

744
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 2: And I think he missed more shots from the free

745
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: throw line. I think he might have been two for

746
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 2: five for the free throw line. But one of the

747
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: most incredible championship game performances was Bill Walton in nineteen

748
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 2: seventy three. Findal results of the poll question Seaton NFL

749
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 2: season opener on a Wednesday night. People either really don't

750
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: care or absolutely hate it. Very few people love it.

751
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 3: Best places to watch baseball are called park fields or

752
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 3: stadium park. Running away with that one, and then which

753
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 3: clip of the five cost us the Emmy nomination? Dan

754
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 3: Derek and Sandler, Bo Jackson and Colon cancer, the Paul

755
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 3: miss Chop, Jordan load management or the Matt Friends Impression.

756
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: Matt Friends Impressions have a slight lead over the Pauli

757
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: miss Chop, followed by the Jordan Load Management take.

758
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

759
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: Well, not many people voting for bo Jackson talking about

760
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 3: colon cancer, which is great.

761
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't say that was a negative segment.

762
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: It's got too many votes actually, but not not too

763
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 3: many that it's depressing.

764
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get a couple of phone calls here,

765
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 2: justin in Utah, Hi, Justin, what's on your mind?

766
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 6: Hey?

767
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 7: Dan, thanks for taking my call, five eleven, two fifty.

768
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 7: And I just have a hypothetical and I figure you

769
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 7: guys are the perfect people to ask because it goes

770
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 7: right in line or what I think we all wonder

771
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 7: about bald people. Just hypothetically, if you had a bald

772
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 7: coworker and suddenly they came back to work one day

773
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 7: wearing a two pay never addressed it, but you look

774
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 7: around you and your other coworkers. How would you guys

775
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 7: handle this situation? Would you ask them about it? Wait

776
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 7: till they bring it up? No, I'll hang up and listen.

777
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 7: But I'm curious what you guys would do.

778
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: Is this something that happened to you? Justin it very.

779
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 7: Well, as Polly likes to say it very well, may.

780
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: Be empathetical, okay, yeah see, And just for clarity, hypothetically,

781
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 3: which side of this would you be on, justin, the

782
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 3: guy wearing the two pay or the coworker who doesn't

783
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 3: know how to handle it?

784
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: No, No, I am very fortunate.

785
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 7: I have a good head of hair. Not as good

786
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 7: as dance, of course, but you know we all can't

787
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 7: be perfect, So thank you justin, Yes, Tom.

788
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 12: Where we work, among the twelve of us, someone will

789
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:15,919
Speaker 12: just say immediately nice to pay.

790
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: What's going on with that then? But if you're in

791
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: a real office setting, you're probably not saying anything.

792
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 6: Now.

793
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 2: I've been around guys who have come in and their

794
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 2: hair is considerably darker mc lovin that one day, I

795
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: remember Mike Florio is texting me, He goes, are you

796
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: guys going to make fun of McLevin with his new

797
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 2: hair color? And I didn't want to. I thought it

798
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 2: was funnier by not bringing it up to McLevin that

799
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,040
Speaker 2: he knew, we knew, but we just kind of left

800
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:48,879
Speaker 2: it there. Yes, tot.

801
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 12: And if you're already self conscious about something where you're

802
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 12: darkening your hair or pretending you have hair. Whatever you're doing,

803
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 12: you don't need someone to add to that and make

804
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 12: a comment to just let it go.

805
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 2: Let them bring it up if they want or ignore it.

806
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 9: Yes, Paul, but I think the two pay e the

807
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 9: person who's putting on the two pay has to break

808
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 9: the ice for the building. Hey, guys, let's get.

809
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 6: It out of the way.

810
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, Seaton, Yeah, that's how I feel like I'm

811
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: much more of a Let me just address the elephant

812
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: in the room here. Like I came in with a

813
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 3: crappy haircut the other day and was like, before you

814
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: guys said anything, I was like, hey, look at what

815
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: I did to my hair. I really messed it up.

816
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 3: Now it's just out in the open. Nobody feels awkward,

817
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 3: especially me.

818
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 6: You know.

819
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 3: So if I was thinking about going to get a

820
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 3: two pay or something, probably like two weeks before being like,

821
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 3: you know, I think I'm getting a little something up top.

822
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we can't make fun of your haircut now

823
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 2: because you've already made fun of your haircut, correct, Yeah,

824
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: it was a preemptive strike there. Let's go around the

828
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 12: his motion and mechanics for Nando Mendoza is more robotic.

829
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 2: Setan, did you learn anything today?

830
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 3: I learned that ties for broadcasters are becoming irrelevant.

831
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I've got all these ties. I'd be

832
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 2: more than willing to give them out, Marvin, how about you.

00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 2: I have pictures over here with the ties. I actually

838
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: draped the ties over those pictures. Todd, what did I

839
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 2: learn today?

840
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 12: We all learned if you had one more round of golf,

841
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 12: you'd picked Tiger or Jack Nicholas at Pebble beetro Cypress.
