1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 2: What is up straight Fire, Pamp. It's me Jason McIntyre.

3
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: Straight Fire for Tuesday, August sixth. Was out of town

4
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: over the weekend, so no pod on Monday. Thanks for

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: not being too upset with that.

6
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: Listen.

7
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: There's not a lot going on, so the storylines are

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: far from sexy. A lot of Olympic stuff over the

9
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 2: weekend was interesting. I, however, was out of town. We'll

10
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: call it a business trip. You guys know, obviously I

11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: own a small portion of the soccer team Nicoxa in

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 2: Lega MX top league in Mexico. Well, they were playing

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: in what's called the Legas Cup and they were playing

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: against the Seattle Sounders, and after losing a brutal match

15
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: against Minnesota, it was win or go home for Naicoxa

16
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: in Seattle. So we're like, hey, why don't we go

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: up for the weekend. My family's never been to Seattle.

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: I went when I was eighteen with my mom, my dad,

19
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: my brother.

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: It was like a.

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Quick trip for some reason into Seattle. All I remember

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: is Mount Rainier. We have a photo.

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: That's it.

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: I don't really remember much else, but you know, the

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: narrative around Seattle is it rains all the time. We're

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: there for forty eight hours, beautiful sun shining the entire time.

27
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 2: It was an outstanding weekend. Did the space needle listen?

28
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: You guys know me.

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: I'm a beach guy. I think that's from the Caribbean

30
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: blood pumping through my veins. I love the beach, but

31
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: I also like the city in New York City obviously

32
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: a huge fan. I love Paris when we went last year.

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Don't venture into La as much, but La has a buzz.

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: It's a great I like cities or beach. I'm not

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: really much of the rugged outdoorsman type shocker obviously, and

36
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: you know Seattle has all of it. They have water

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: like Washington, the Sound, and then they've got you know,

38
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: and they don't get a lot of snow. Seattle, I

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: was I'm not going to do the list of the

40
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: top ten, but spending the weekend there confirmed it for me.

41
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 2: You know, they got a lot of they got good

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 2: sports teams, easy flights to Asia, and you know, if

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: you're into that, we never never visited Asia. I would

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: love to love to check it out. And the weather's

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: not terrible now obviously it rains a lot in his

46
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: cloudy a lot, but for a weekend, Seattle to me

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 2: jumped off the pages like a top ten city that

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: I would live in or around coming off this weekend. Now,

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 2: I'll quickly tell you about the soccer game. First of all,

50
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 2: I did not follow any NFL stories. Obviously I saw

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: the Patrick Mahomes nonsense, which you'll get to, but there

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: was really no more NBA moves, although this week I

53
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 2: believe today is the day that some players are eligible

54
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 2: lowry marketing and a couple, so it could be some

55
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 2: NBA moving, but not a ton of storylines. Preseason gets

56
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: ramped up. So Olympics was big, and yes, there were

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: moments where we got to a TV and at one

58
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: point we're getting ready to get in an uber at

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 2: this hotel and on the screen is the Olympics Women's

60
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: basketball and I look around and there's, you know, two

61
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: kids watching. I'm just telling you, guys, if Caitlin Clark

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 2: had been on the team, a lot of people would

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: have been around the TOI, I can guarantee you that

64
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 2: it just so. The basketball wasn't that exciting on the

65
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: women's front. The men's gets exciting tomorrow and I'm sorry. Today,

66
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: the men's basketball gets super pop in today the US,

67
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 2: because of a good bracket and being the number one seed,

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 2: has a much easier path to the gold medal match,

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: which is which is fine. But the highlight of the

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: weekend besides watching some Olympics So swimming was fun, the

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: track was fun was watching our team Nakasa. And you know,

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: my kids had never been to an ACAXA game, so

73
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 2: we were all decked out in gear. They sent us

74
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 2: some gear and we go down one nothing in like

75
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: the tenth minute, and I'm like, oh my gosh, here

76
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: we go again. And then they score another goal in

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: like this seventeenth minute point. I am just flabbergaster. I'm like,

78
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: are you f and kidding me? We came all the

79
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: way up here and they're just gonna get dusted in

80
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: the first twenty minutes. However, that goal was waved off,

81
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: incredibly waved off for and off sides that I didn't

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: see as it was materializing, and so all instead of

83
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: being down two within the first twenty minutes, it's only

84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: down one. And then this dynamic young player on the

85
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: Seattle wing who had scored that second goal that was

86
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: called off, he leaves with an injury, and all of

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: a sudden, their offense goes to poop and we get

88
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: this you know, rebound goal and it's one to one,

89
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: and then the late first half we get we got

90
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: like a breakaway goal that was awesome. We're freaking out

91
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm not gonna give away the whole story.

92
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: Obviously to Coxa wins. But after we added h Rob mclhaney,

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: I'm butchering his name and Ryan Reynolds to the to

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: the investment group. They're now doing a similar to Welcome

95
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: to Wrexham documentary on Nikosa and so it's like a

96
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: series ten episodes an hour each following the team. So

97
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: Ava Longoria was there with the team this weekend and

98
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: the Camo's were rolling and all the very exciting stuff,

99
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: and of course we get the win, so it was amazing.

100
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: And then I took my family down to the locker

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: room afterward and the team was celebrating. It was pretty

102
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: freaking awesome.

103
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 3: Guys.

104
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: It's one thing to you know, win my league championships.

105
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 2: That's fun, and then you go home and it's like, hey,

106
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: take out the garbage and all that normal stuff. But

107
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: it's another to travel with the team your minority owner

108
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 2: in they win a massive game on the road. Everybody's

109
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 2: partying and celebrating, and the locker room is just jumping

110
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: off all the players, super nice coaching to everybody's just giddy.

111
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: So now they will play San Jose this week, and yeah,

112
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 2: there's there's a chance I may call it audible and

113
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: just pop down to San Jose, only an hour flight

114
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: to check out, see what damage we can do. But

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 2: that's enough about soccer on my weekend in Seattle. Let's

116
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: get to the main event, and that's men's basketball at

117
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 2: the Olympics. The matchups are said, I think Germany versus Yiannis.

118
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: Now we're record this on Monday night. They are slated

119
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: to play at two am Pacific, so you will wake

120
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: up hear the pod and know the result of Germany

121
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: and Greece, as well as Serbia Australia, which is at

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 2: five thirty am Pacific. Actually, depending on when you listen,

123
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: my guess is Germany prevails in a close when Yannas

124
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: ain't gonna go out easily. Serbia Australia is fascinating. I

125
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: guess I'll take Serbia, but I'm kind of sort of

126
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: rooting Australia, and then in the other two matchups it's

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: France Canada, Hello Webbin Yama VERSUS SGA and Company, and

128
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: then Brazil Usa Rob. I haven't seen a line on

129
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: USA Brazil, but I'm gonna go ahead and guess twenty

130
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: five and a half that might be light. I'm just

131
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: gonna go ahead and assume the US is a significant favorite.

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: Now.

133
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: They were like twenty eight to a half against South

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Shudean thirty something against Porto Rica. They only covered one

135
00:06:55,520 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: against Serbia. As you've seen, the tendency is well play

136
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: up to our competition and we'll maybe play down a

137
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: little bit to ours. And they didn't cover in the

138
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: other matchups, but did against Serbia. I'm gonna go ahead

139
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: and guess Brazil, which is not a loaded team and

140
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: the deck clearly as the eighth seed in the knockout rounds,

141
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: this should be a waltz. But yeah, I'll guess like

142
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: twenty five and a half for US, and no, I

143
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: would not be putting any sheddar on the Americans who are,

144
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: by the way, Steve Kurtz coming under some fire from

145
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: all sides, Draymond Green coming after him. You're hearing a

146
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: lot of fans, including Rob g who might have been

147
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: leading the charge last week going after Steve Kerr. It

148
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: was it was kind of harsh. Rub I'm just curious

149
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 2: where are you on the curR in the USA as

150
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 2: they head into the knockout rounds here?

151
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 4: Well, first off, Jason, I'm glad that you're back. And

152
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 4: for our audio listeners who do not have access to

153
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 4: video right now, just know that j Mack is shirtless,

154
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 4: per the huge even though he left the balmy climate

155
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: of Seattle, he forgot his shirt at home. And to

156
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 4: answer your first question, Team USA, you're very close twenty

157
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: six and a half. According to BEDMGMS, you were right there.

158
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: That's why you do this for a living. And I'm

159
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: not a gambling man, but if I was, give me

160
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 4: Brazil plus twenty.

161
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 3: Six and a half. Oh cool, Team USA.

162
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 4: As a way of, you know, tricking these games around

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: and laying teams hang around longer than they should have.

191
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: As far as Steve Kerr goes, you know, I saw

192
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 4: some of the messages, I saw some of the Instagram

193
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 4: notes saying what do I have against Steve Kerr?

194
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 3: Is it personal? Like?

195
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: Why do you hate Steve Kurz so much? And obviously

196
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 4: it's not just me, because Draymond Green, who's stole my take,

197
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: plays for Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors, and

198
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: even he came out on his own podcast and went

199
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 4: on record against his own head coach by suggesting that

200
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 4: when Steve Kerr decided to bench Joe l Embiid the

201
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: game after benching Jason Tatum and then followed up the

202
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 4: NBA benching by benching Drew Holliday under the guys that

203
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: he was resting an ankle injury, Draymond Green's exact quote was,

204
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: it feels like he's covering his tracks.

205
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: Mmm.

206
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 4: Now, that to me sounds like Draymond is saying what

207
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: a lot of us are thinking, and that is that

208
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: Steve Kerr at this point is doing and saying anything

209
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 4: that will help to ensure that he doesn't get grilled

210
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 4: the way that he should be. I said this on

211
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: last week's podcast. His first rationale for when he ben

212
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum, I believe it was against Serbia, was man,

213
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: I feel like an idiot. I can't believe I couldn't

214
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 4: find minutes for Jason Tatum. What does that say about me?

215
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 4: I told my staff I felt really bad about it.

216
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 4: Then he benches Joe LMB and he's like, well, it's

217
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 4: because we wanted to switch and play good defense, and

218
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 4: YadA yah YadA pointed out on last week's spot, Steph

219
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: Curri's miant is didn't get pinched, and Steph Curry's the

220
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 4: worst defender on the team, so your argument there doesn't

221
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 4: hold water. Then he goes and benches Drew Holliday the

222
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 4: Drew Holiday one. I will admit that one is more

223
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 4: justifiable only because we did see him turn his ankle over.

224
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 4: But the argument is the same. What Steve Kerr is doing,

225
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: and Draymond pointed this out is he is basically trying

226
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: to outsmart the room and I don't understand why he's

227
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 4: doing that.

228
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: I don't get it.

229
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: Draymond himself pointed out that he doesn't care about the rotations.

230
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: That doesn't matter who you're going against, whether it's South

231
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: du Dan who's young and quick and fast and athletic,

232
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: or it's Serbia and Germany wants to grind it down

233
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: and very big and they want to impose their will physicality.

234
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: Team USA, with the players that we have and the

235
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 4: roster that they built, should be able to play against

236
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 4: anybody no matter what the style is. They have enough talent,

237
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 4: they have enough good players, and it definitely feels like

238
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: Steve Kerr and his staff as a whole, but mostly

239
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: Steve Kerr is trying to outsmart the room and trying

240
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 4: to show that he sees basketball in a way that

241
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: the rest of us just don't see. And I don't

242
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 4: think it's it's gonna come back to buying them again

243
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 4: because we are so good and talented.

244
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 3: It's just not a good look in my opinion.

245
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, listen, let's be real. You know, it's

246
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: it's difficult handling all these personalities. And he got a

247
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 2: lot of blowback for the tatum, which I'm assuming he

248
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: just didn't anticipate. Here's where it gets interesting. I think

249
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 2: Rob Weed degree Brazil USA should roll. I don't think

250
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 2: anybody gets bench. I think they play everybody obviously, you know,

251
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: Helliburton and someone else or too will play fewer minutes.

252
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 2: But when it gets to, as you like to say,

253
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: nut cutting time in the semis, and who are they

254
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 2: likely to play in the semis.

255
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 3: I'll pull that up here as you're talking.

256
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 2: I think it's I think it's Serbia, Australia maybe, and

257
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: then the other bracket, which is pretty loaded, I think.

258
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: But regardless, when it gets to the semis, and this

259
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: is it's a close game throughout and it will be folks, somebody,

260
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: maybe two three guys may not play at all. And

261
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: that's where it gets really interesting. And that's where like, okay,

262
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 2: do they consider benching Steph Curry, Devin Booker's playing, Well,

263
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: the I'm benching him who is not gonna play? And

264
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,599
Speaker 2: if you know, I know Joel Embiid is kind of

265
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 2: a punching bag, but I think he probably is the

266
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 2: odd man out. I don't think you can you can

267
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 2: risk him starting and pulling up into a deficit against

268
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 2: a Canada, you know, and then it's an uphill climate.

269
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you.

270
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 2: If you guys have watched any Canada, and I know

271
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: the NBA fans have they're gonna play one big and

272
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: four out, and that big might be Kelly Olynnick who's

273
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: a three point shooter. So they're gonna putl embiid and

274
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 2: all kinds of actions on the perimeter. And we know

275
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: he is not great defending on the perimeter. He's coming

276
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 2: off the injury. I can see that being a big

277
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: Baym being a lot of center, maybe a d at center,

278
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: but more portly rob. I think a death lineup we

279
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: have not seen them unveil, and how teams would handle

280
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: it is Lebron at the five, k d at the four,

281
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: and then a trio of ant Booker holiday a trio

282
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 2: of guards. I can see a scenario where he uncorks

283
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 2: a death lineup something we have not seen at all,

284
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: whether it's exhibitions, whether it's at the Olympics. My anticipation

285
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: is Kerr has an ace up his sleeve that he

286
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: has yet to unveil.

287
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: I would agree with that, and if only because whether

288
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 4: or not it's an ace's immaterial. It's that Steve Kerr

289
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 4: and Darvin Ham shout out former Laker Darwinham, they have

290
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 4: this affinity for three guard lineups, even though this current

291
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: USA basketball team for front court players has lebron James,

292
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, Joel Embiid, bam Adebayo, Jason Tatum,

293
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: like you should be able to keep at least two

294
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 4: of them on the floor at all times. You should

295
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: be able to honestly keep three of them on the

296
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 4: floor at all times, because Lebron, kd and Tatum can

297
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: all credibly at least for you know, fifteen minutes through

298
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 4: at the time in this game, cover the wing, so

299
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 4: that shouldn't be a problem. But for again, Steve Kerr

300
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 4: doing what Steve Kerr does, says I'd much rather play

301
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 4: Devin Booker at small Ford. I much rather play Drew

302
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: Holliday and have him guard up six seven, six eight guys.

303
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 3: Which he can do.

304
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: It's just that you don't necessarily need to ask him

305
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 4: to do it. To your point, though, I would assume

306
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: outside of the Serbia matchup, even though that one didn't

307
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 4: go too well for MBAT either, I would assume you're

308
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 4: gonna see a heavy dose of bam and Ad at

309
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: the five, much less Embiid. I'm assuming we won't see

310
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: Halliburton at all here in the next couple of games.

311
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 4: I believe it's two or three games left, well unless

312
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 4: it's garbage time, because I think you're gonna see. And

313
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 4: he even alluded it to this on Monday when Steve

314
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 4: kurmree with the media and they talked about whether or

315
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: not Kevin Durant was gonna move it to the starting

316
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: lineup because he's obviously been, if not their best player,

317
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: their second best player since he's been back, and he said, nope,

318
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: we want to keep KD in the second unit. And

319
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: he's comfortable that he's comfortable with it. You know that

320
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 4: that everybody's fine with the situation. But he did say,

321
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: as we get deeper into this tournament, and KD will

322
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 4: come off the bench no matter what, but if we

323
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 4: have to extend his minutes, then we're going to do that.

324
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: And if you'll recall, I believe it was in the

325
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 4: the COVID Olympics in a forty minute game. I believe

326
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 4: it was in the gold medal game or or the

327
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 4: semi finals. He think he played thirty eight of it.

328
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 4: Like Kevin Durant is almost indispensable for Steve current an

329
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 4: Olympics setting. So to your point, yes, I do see

330
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 4: USA going small. We'll see if Lebron and Katie and

331
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 4: going as a really small team, but you're gonna see

332
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 4: a lot more athleticism, I believe moving forward.

333
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: So any idea who what the bracket looks like with

334
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 2: who the US would play after they beat a mighty

335
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,199
Speaker 2: Brazil featuring the kid wheert Us who played briefly with

336
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: the with the Lakers for a couple of years.

337
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: He's okay guard.

338
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: They just they don't have a lot of great guys.

339
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's afraid of this team. We're losing

340
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: sleepover so I can see the US sleepwalking. I think

341
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 2: they're probably a good halftime bet. Bruno Cabarrulo I butchered

342
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: his name, but he's the one who fran for Scilla

343
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 2: famously said he's two years away from two years being away.

344
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 4: Or was that he's two years away from being two

345
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 4: years away.

346
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that's what he said at the draft,

347
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: which was, you know, pretty comical at the time. But

348
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: this kid's look pretty good. I mean, he seems like

349
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: a walking double double the Olympics. But again, you're not

350
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: afraid of it. Will give you all the post you want, Bruno,

351
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: you know, go for it. So yeah, I'll go ahead,

352
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: and I guess I'll pick Canada US in the final.

353
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 2: France has looked underwhelming, but maybe they're saving some stuff

354
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 2: for the for the knockout rounds. But ultimately, I don't

355
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 2: know other than men's basketball, and the track has been

356
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, spicy, Noah Lyles, a bit of a trash talker.

357
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 2: You love the swagger, fastest man on the planet. That's

358
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: always cool. The swimming is a little humbling because we

359
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: started watching the fifteen hundred meter rob and I was

360
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 2: like to my kids, so, how far is fifteen hundred meters?

361
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 2: And we're like, I I don't really know. And they

362
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 2: start swimming and there's like this tracker and I guess

363
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: one time across the pool is fifty and I was like,

364
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, this is gonna take forever. We can't

365
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: there's no way I could do this, Like I don't

366
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: think I could do a five hundred meter and they

367
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: just the kid shattered like the new world record, the

368
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: Olympian from the US, and it was just like, oh

369
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: my gosh, these guys superhuman the swimming, So yeah, I'm

370
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 2: kind of into the Olympics. It's a bit fortunate this

371
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 2: summer rob right, we had the Euro's we had COPA

372
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: and now we have the Olympics next summer.

373
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: What do we have.

374
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 2: It's like, holy hell, there's gonna be nothing.

375
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 4: Well that that's not a factoring though, not even factoring

376
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 4: in the surge and WNBA popularity.

377
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 2: Oh that's right.

378
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 4: So you know, let's hope fingers crossed that they can

379
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 4: keep this momentum through next season as well. Kaitlyn Clark

380
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 4: becomes an even bigger star, Angelies becomes an even bigger star,

381
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 4: and let's hope one of their two teams can make

382
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: the playoffs and have a little bit of a run.

383
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: Maybe not gonna win the whole thing, but if they

384
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 4: can win around that would be huge for the prospects

385
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 4: of the league next season and beyond.

386
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: By the way, did you see I don't know if

387
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 2: you saw this, but while I was scrolling Instagram, I

388
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: saw some you know person ran into Caitlin Clark in

389
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: a grocery store and they were like, oh, can I

390
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: get a picture?

391
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 3: And she's like.

392
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: Sure, so they took a picture. But it's not about that.

393
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 2: Everybody's now breaking down what Caitlyn Clark screw does with

394
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: the grocery store shopping wise, and they're like, look at

395
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 2: all this healthy stuff she's eating. Caitlin Clark is she's

396
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 2: getting oh well, she is getting English muffins or whatever

397
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 2: it was that was unhealthy. But you know what, it's

398
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 2: the eighty twenty rule if you're eating vegetables and drinking

399
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 2: rite milk. And it's like, that's where Caitlin Clark is.

400
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: And it's so funny because and again I am small

401
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: potatoes on the sports media totem pole. Although there's a

402
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: lot of stuff happening as I see online, I'm sure

403
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,679
Speaker 2: there's a lot of fun topics, and I got hit

404
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: with a bunch of interesting stuff over the weekend. Shall

405
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: we say?

410
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 2: We're in Seattle, and again I'm not in the mindset

411
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: of people know who I am. Like, it's just I

412
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: talk about sports for a few hours a day on

413
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: some middling TV show that actually is number one at

414
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 2: the network. But that's neither here nor there. And you know,

415
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 2: we're in the hotel lobby and I'm waiting and this

416
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 2: guy comes up and he goes, hey, are you Jmack?

417
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 2: And I didn't really hear him, but I heard the

418
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 2: Jmac part and I was like, huh.

419
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, are you J Mack? I was like yeah.

420
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: He's like, oh my gosh, I had no idea. I

421
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: can't believe it.

422
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 2: I was like, is that him? And he's super friendly guy.

423
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: He starts talking and at the end he goes, so, hey,

424
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: can I get a picture? And I was like, if

425
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 2: you want. It was just so jarring, and I guess

426
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: my wife had watched this kind of unfolding, so she

427
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 2: sent my son over and he just starts cracking up

428
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: because he's like, somebody wants a picture with my dad?

429
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: Give me a break. And then then there was one

430
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: that was a little weird rob. So after the NACOXA game,

431
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 2: we're wearing Ncoxa gear. We walk out of the stadium Lomenfield,

432
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 2: and it's not that pack because we were, you know,

433
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: in the locker room with the team and we're waiting

434
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: for an uber and it's a you know, a bit

435
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 2: of a scene out there. There's a million cards. You

436
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: guys have been leaving a stadium before, and these three

437
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: guys walk up obviously they've been drinking. And one of

438
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 2: them's like stops and was like, oh, hey, uh you

439
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 2: got did you come up from Mexico for the just random?

440
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 2: Did you guys come up from Mexico for the game?

441
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: And in it you could tell he'd been drinking because

442
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 2: he just tosses in anes word and an F word

443
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 2: and my kids are right there, and at one point

444
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: I kind of look at the kids and then look

445
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: at him, thinking he'll get the memo, but he he

446
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: had been drinking, so he didn't. I was like, oh cool,

447
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: and then he says a couple of other things and

448
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 2: I make eye contact with the other two guys, and

449
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: then he moves on, and then, you know, my family's like, oh,

450
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: that guy's strange. You know, he was clearly drunk. So

451
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: within like forty five seconds, we're still standing there and

452
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: my daughter goes, I think that guy's coming back. And

453
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: so he had already crossed the street and kind of

454
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: walked away, and he comes back, but he's not with

455
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: his two friends, and he goes, hey, are you chasing McIntyre?

456
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 2: And I was like why, and he goes, oh, my gosh.

457
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: My buddies.

458
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 3: After we were.

459
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,959
Speaker 2: Talking, they were like, dude, do you know who that is?

460
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: And I was like, no, they didn't say that. He's like, yeah,

461
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: they're big sports guys and I didn't recognize you. And

462
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: they were like, how could you ask him if he

463
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: was from if they came up from Mexico for the game.

464
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: He's on the TV show with Coward every day. And

465
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: at this point, my family's kind of laughing at the guy.

466
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 2: But he had been, you know, drinking heavily, and it

467
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: was just one of those funny moments.

468
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 1: Rob.

469
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, I didn't know that the Herd

470
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: had that kind of clout where basically the sporting events.

471
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: Now people are noticing me at games, and again, this

472
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:28,479
Speaker 2: is not like some kind of flex. This is just

473
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 2: like weird and different. But around the family it's you know,

474
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: it's a little odd and sports fans are weird guys.

475
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: You have to admit that, right.

476
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, And actually I got a story on my own.

477
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: But before I get into that, how does your family,

478
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 4: because you know, I'm sure you get this a hell

479
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 4: of a lot more than I do, of course, how

480
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 4: does your family, your wife and kids respond when you

481
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: get approached like that?

482
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 3: Other than a drunk guy at a.

483
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 2: Mostly it's oh, my gosh, I can't believe people want

484
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: to picture with you.

485
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 1: That is pathetic.

486
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: No, No, they're mostly like, oh, that's kind of cool.

487
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 2: And the kids are getting the aged out where they

488
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: know what's up. So if they see someone kind of

489
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 2: overly staring, they're like, dad, I think that guy recognizes

490
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 2: and then I obviously do not look over. But again,

491
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: we've only had one weird instance, and that was leaving

492
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: a WNBA game with that creepy individual.

493
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 4: But anyway, okay, so I've never had an uncomfortable experience

494
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 4: with you know, to the extent I get reconnite, which

495
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: has been with a random right, yeah, which has been

496
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 4: I think maybe five or six times total in my life.

497
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 4: But the first time it ever happened, I was in

498
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: Las Vegas with my wife and my wife and some

499
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: friends and we were at a bar and I had said.

500
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 4: This was back when I was doing the Ben Mallor

501
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 4: show overnights, and I had said on the show, I'm

502
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 4: going to Vegas. I'm gonna go check out this bar

503
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 4: with some friends. We heard good things about YadA YadA Will.

504
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 4: One of the listeners of the show apparently was waiting

505
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 4: around at that bar, apparently for a couple hours waiting

506
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 4: for us to get there. When we get there and

507
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: we have our first drinks or whatever, him and the

508
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 4: woman he's with, Oh, we're just kind of hovering behind us. No, No,

509
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 4: it wasn't tapping on my shoulder. Never said excuse me,

510
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 4: never said anything, just kind of was just there looking

511
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 4: over our shoulder. And my wife kind of gives this look.

512
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 4: So I turn in and say, hey, can help He say, hey,

513
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,719
Speaker 4: are you? Are you the snowman from ben Malachip That's

514
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 4: what used to call me.

515
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 3: I said, yeah, that was your nickname.

516
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, because it was a long story studying from the

517
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 4: movie Frozen. It was just a really long story. But

518
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 4: any of that's what he says. Say yea, yeah, that's me.

519
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 4: He says, Oh, hey, I'm so and so big fan

520
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: of the show. Can I get a picture with you?

521
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

522
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: Sure, take a picture with him whatever. Talk to him

523
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: for about a minute and then it goes on. Nothing

524
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 4: awkward at all other than he was nervous to say hi.

525
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: Yeah.

526
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 4: But after that, my wife was so uncomfortable. She's like,

527
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 4: that was so creepy. I don't like people coming up

528
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 4: to us. It was just so weird, YadA YadA the

529
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 4: whole even though, and she's like, I don't like the

530
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 4: notoriety that comes from your job, and like, you know

531
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 4: that the notoriety that comes from my job is the

532
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: reason why we got Compton VIP for this club that

533
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 4: we're going to late on tonight, And it's the reason

534
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 4: why we got free drinks at this place because there's

535
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 4: people all around the country who's some more to say, Hey,

536
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 4: J Max, big fan of yours?

537
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 3: Can I buy you a drink? J Mack, I love

538
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 3: the herd.

539
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 4: Would love to take you out to this steakhouse that

540
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 4: my buddy owns when next time you're in Nashville. Whatever

541
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,360
Speaker 4: like that exists. And so I was a little bit

542
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 4: upset at my wife at the time. Since then she

543
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 4: got much better. But it's like, you can't enjoy the

544
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 4: perks of what we do and then complain when you

545
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 4: know there are other things that you're.

546
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Mac And I haven't complained to remember, Seattle's the team

547
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 2: rob where I said the Seahawks or trash or not playoffs,

548
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 2: I'll shave the logo in the side of my head.

549
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 2: So in the back of my head I sounded dumb.

550
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 2: What in my mind. I'm like, oh, I wonder if

551
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: anybody would say, dude, are you the guy who shaved

552
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: the Seahawks logo in your head? I will just close

553
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: on kind of a crappy note. I'll say this about

554
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 2: the home Seattle. They had a bit of a homeless

555
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 2: situation that is, you know, I don't know if it's

556
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: as bad as downtown LA sometimes, but man it, you know,

557
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:06,959
Speaker 2: it kind of freaked my kids out a little bit.

558
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: And there's like, you know, guys walking down the street

559
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: clearly strung out with their pants at their ankles at

560
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 2: like twelve o'clock in the day, like that is strange.

561
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 2: And I didn't see a lot of cops trying to

562
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 2: regulate that. So I don't know. I'm not going to

563
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: get all political on you, but anyways, it is good

564
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 2: to be back. I promise more sports instead of self

565
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: flagellation here pumping ourselves up that we're so big and

566
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 2: important and people love talking to us. But there's actually

567
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: a huge Dodgers Phillies series. This week, we get the

568
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 2: end of the Olympics, and I think once preseason begins,

569
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 2: we'll start to get super spicy, get some more gambling

570
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: guests on to get ready for the season. I will

571
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: be going to Vegas. Don't know when to sign up

572
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: for the contest. Can't wait for that, but keep it

573
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: locked back tomorrow talk to you then
