Speaker 1: too early to start the chance, It's never too early

Speaker 1: to start the chaos. Because at eight am tomorrow morning,

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: we get the one thing we wanted more and in

6
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: Olympics that has given us incredible borderline historic TV ratings,

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: and in Olympics we've had wild storylines. The one thing

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: we knew we wanted at the outset was team USA

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: team Canada for the Olympic gold. And that is exactly

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: what we are going to get. He's Buck Rising. I'm

11

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: I have had to scour. I have found a local

00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: bark Astro park eight am, Connecticut, gonna be open, opening

Speaker 1: we are going to be out in these streets chanting

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: USA relentlessly because we get not only the best map,

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: we get not only the best two teams, we get

20
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: not only the two sort of star power just laden

21
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 1: with just dripping with NHL talent all over the place.

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: We get two teams playing for a gold medal that

23
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: genuinely hate each other. We get this level of it's

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: where you get this level of I want to drop

25
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: the gloves and kick your ass from them from the

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: opening moment of this, especially in the Olympics. Oh, it's

27
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,919
Speaker 1: just injected in my veins.

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: Isn't a bad thing if the most patriotic I ever

29
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: feel is during the Olympics, because I want to see

30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: our athletes kick another countries athletes ass like It's just

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: it is something that courses through your veins so viscerally,

32
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: and I mean, listen, this is the showdown that not

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: just the hockey world has waited, what are we talking

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 2: about a dozen years to see again on the Olympic

35
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: stage USA Canada Gold match Sunday. I just realized though,

36
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 2: that you are in Connecticut, so you are on Eastern time.

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: I am in Nashville, Tennessee, which means time on Central time.

38
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: Mary and Ian and Martin are all.

39
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: In Los Angeles, of course, Pacific time, which means that

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: game is damn on at five am time.

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: I don't know.

42
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't know about the West Coast crowd five am

43
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 2: from wake up on a Sunday feels a little gratuitous,

44
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: but you know, maybe you get your coffee, maybe you

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 2: get going. Are you guys gonna watch the game in

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: l a on at five am?

47
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: Price married didn't.

48
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: She's like, no, I don't know if I'll be able

49
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 4: to stay awake. But okay, follow up question, Mary, since

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: you so quickly said no so fast that game was

51
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 4: it noon?

52
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Would you have watched it?

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: No?

54
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Don't even got ya. You don't what, Jimmy, you have.

55
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 3: The cable play there on Peacock or whatever?

56
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:52,279
Speaker 6: Nah?

57
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 3: Pay for that?

58
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: You can get it with free satellite? Can't You can't

59
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: you just get it on your local NBC? Isn't the

60
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I think? So I have the Amazon.

61
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 6: I have the Amazon. Well, I have a projector and

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 6: then I have an Amazon fire stick connected to that projector.

63
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: So I think I can watch it.

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 3: I of de generate set up?

65
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: Is that?

66
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 6: First off, you ain't never been in my crib. It's

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 6: lit in there.

68
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: I mean she does have a projector. How BIG's the

69
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: screen on the projector?

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 6: Dude, it's huge, Like it's it's pretty big.

71
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 3: I don't know them.

72
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: But if you can't watch anything on the projector because

73
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 2: you can't you don't have access to stuff?

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: What good is the name projecture?

75
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: I do though, I don't know. I mean you think

76
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: like I have a sneaking suspicion when we all just,

77
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, roll out and we head over to Mary's place,

78
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: like I doubt that we're going to have a lot

79
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: of say on what's played on the projector if there's.

80
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 6: A picture right now a secret meet, how big it is?

81
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: I would you want for you to send the picture

82
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: to the group text so we can all in real

83
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: time react.

84
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I'm just saying that at the end of

85
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: the day, there are some houses you can go to

86
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: and you know that the answer is going to be, oh,

87
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: can we turn the game on? And the answer will

88
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: be yes. That is not going to be the case here.

89
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: That the case here is that we walk in work, Hey,

90
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: do you mind if we turn and she's gonna say no.

91
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 6: No, she's okay, try to say in thet I was

92
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 6: listening to that spectacle jazz and rain music.

93
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: My god, vibe that is that is a that is

94
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 4: a straight vibe that ain't like that, that that doesn't

95
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: need hockey.

96
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: That's its own sort of electric experience. So the reason

97
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: I asked the follow up question is because, look, I'm

98
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: not surprised you're not watching at five am, but if

99
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: you would have watched it, like I've heard so many

100
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: people screaming, hardcoret I put this drop of the puck

101
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: so early without ever acknowledging buck like this, what's crazy.

102
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: It's very simple. There are different countries that pay so

103
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: much money for the Olympic rights, and you know what,

104
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: they don't care about the watch schedule in the United States.

105
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: When they do that, nobody from Italy was sitting there saying,

106
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 1: wait a minute, guys, we need to make sure. Because

107
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: let's also keep in mind both of these teams needed

108
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: overtime wins to get here. So if your answer is

109
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: why didn't they scheduled at another time, well, what were

110
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: they going to wait to schedule the gold medal game?

111
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: Which is impossible. These schedules are done far at advance,

112
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: where they're going to wait and flex that game depending

113
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: on what two countries actually made the final. That's never

114
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: going to happen. That's never if they end up with

115
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: Norway in the final, or they suddenly changing the drop

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: of the puck time because now all of a sudden,

117
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: you have another issue, like we are just the most

118
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: And I say, this is somebody that spent the afternoon

119
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 1: going to every store I could find to try and

120
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: find a USA hoodie that I could wear for tomorrow.

121
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: But saying that we are just the most egocentric country

122
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: in the world. Sometimes when we turn around and say,

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: my god, how could they not put this at a

124
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: time that works for la Oh? I can't. I can't

125
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: imagine why the people in Milano Cortina weren't thinking about

126
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: the watch habits of Los Angeles when they scheduled a

127
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: damn hockey game.

128
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: Well, Mary didn't say that at all. She just said no,

129
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna watch. No, not Mary, nor watch.

130
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the outrage you see on social media

131
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: repeatedly over even from smart from smart media folks that

132
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: are like, this is such a miss by the Olympics

133
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: to put it at this time without every agnoledge, Like

134
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: this wasn't just a bunch of dumb idiots sitting in

135
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: a room that pulled a drop the puck time out

136
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: of their butts and decided this was gonna work.

137
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 2: Oh but see, I love this because if you are

138
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: going to you know, be patriotic as humanly possible, and

139
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 2: you know, get absolutely housed at seven am my time

140
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 2: at a bar.

141
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: And there are some bars in Nashville. I don't know you.

142
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 3: You said in Connecticut you found a gas strope up.

143
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 3: What the hell is a gastrope up?

144
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: Well, gastro Park. Gastro Park is a it's a it's

145
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: a like a little area right down the road from me.

146
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: And it's it's like a small building that has a

147
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: bar in it and they've got like a great food

148
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: but then they also have food trucks outside. They have

149
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: like a local coffee shop. Inside it's like it's a bar,

150
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: but it's just called gastro Park, right, bar with food

151
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: and food trucks and a whole vite. So it's a

152
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: great vibe.

153
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: Okay, very good.

154
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: So you'll have that open, you'll have access to that

155
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,960

156
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,920

00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: be able to get drunk at seven am in the

160
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: morning and then have the rest of the data sober up.

161
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 2: And go about my business ahead of the NFL Combine

162
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: next week without the fear of the Sunday scaries and

163
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: a hangover and all these different things.

164
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 3: No day drinking, especially day drinking in the morning.

165
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: For those of you who tailgated football games in college,

166
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: if you went to a football school, this is nah

167
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 2: chef's kiss.

168
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: This is the pinnacle of sports.

169
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 2: Nothing better than getting ready with a playlist. You start

170
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: the pregame a little bit, you meet your friends at

171
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: the bar, you have a big time. I think this

172
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: is perfect. The hell with anybody who wants it on later.

173
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean we are still the best, so

174
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: we have a right to be ego centric that way.

175
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: But can anybody tell me was anybody on the show

176
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,679
Speaker 2: alive the last time the United States won Olympic gold

177
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: in men's hockey?

178
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 3: Can anybody tell me.

179
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: Well, what year was that? Six years ago?

180
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 7: Oh?

181
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: Then no, wait wait the miracle on Ice nineteen eighty

182
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: didn't they win the gold that year?

183
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. That's forty six.

184
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: Years believe, Yeah, I was, I thought you said nineteen

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: forty six. I was alive in eighty. I don't. I

186
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: didn't watch it. I wasn't. I wasn't old enough to

187
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: watch TV. But I was alive in eighty Thank god,

188
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm old. Well, you know, I can't help it. You know,

189
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: my parents were were out in the streets before years were.

190
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you, like, yeah, I was.

191
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I was knee high to a grasshopper. As they love

192
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: to say, I don't know who they is? Yes, when

193
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: they when? When they were knee high? Grasshopper means you're

194
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: really tiny because grasshoppers are little. So if you were

195
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: only as tall as the knee high level of a grasshopper,

196
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: then you wouldn't equally be very very small. So grasshopper,

197
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: I was, I was old. Yeah, I mean you asked, yes, buck,

198
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: I was. I was three years old. I was three

199
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: years old.

200
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: All right, very good.

201
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: So the miracle on ice forty six years ago, it's

202
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: the last time that we as a country of one

203
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Olympic gold in men's hockey. And I don't know, I mean,

204
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: do do the vast majority of I mean is it stunning?

205
00:08:59,760 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 7: Though?

206
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: Is think about like the countries that are competing with this.

207
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: This means everything to Canada. It is the only thing

208
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: that they truly care about. It is their national pride.

209
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: I mean, how many just because I'm in a hockey

210
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 2: city and you have proximity to the sport. I'm sure

211
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: in Connecticut the amount of Canadians who will tell you

212
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: about no I was skating before I could walk, which

213
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 2: of course was ridiculous because nobody skates before they can walk.

214
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 3: But like, this is the only thing they care about.

215
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: This is such a huge opportunity to kick Canada in

216
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: the head.

217
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: And I can't again.

218
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 2: Because the women have already done it, which makes us

219
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: very happy as well. So Canada Hate Week back on.

220
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: I'm fired up about it. Everybody should be fired up

221
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: about it. But the question is do you actually did

222
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: you actually want Canada in this particular situation? Oh? God,

223
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 2: do you? Because they are the best. There is one question.

224
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: They are the best.

225
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: When Canada went to overtime a couple of days ago,

226
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: I was sitting there rooting for them so hard, so hard.

227
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: A couple of things. I actually happen to love Canada.

228
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of time on there and tour.

229
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: It's a beautiful place.

230
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: I actually can't love Canada.

231
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: I love Canada, but mostly I wanted this. I want

232
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: this moment. I want one v two. I want the

233
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: two best teams in the world. I want that level

234
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: of passion, like when we have four nations and everybody

235
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: was talking about it, like anytime you get this America

236
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: versus Canada hockey moment. You know, I've got some good

237
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: buddies that are from Toronto. And it's funny how all

238
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the most polite people in the world,

239
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: their tone changes bo immediately when we're talking about this matchup,

240
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: like yeah, I specifically felt such a don't you rob

241
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 1: us of this game throughout the course of the entire week,

242
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: every time something was close. Now, to be honest, both

243
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: of these teams are gonna have to play better. I

244
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: mean in the USA has had some moments where they've

245
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,599
Speaker 1: been absolutely unstoppable, and then some moments where you just

246
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: sit there and say, man, how are they playing with

247
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: their food like this? And Canada did the same in

248
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: their last matchup, So I was concerned. I want this.

249
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I want this matchup. I want this one v two.

250
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: I want to sit in a bar and watch us

251
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: kick Canada's ass, and if we're gonna lose to somebody,

252
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: I want it to be the absolute best in the world.

253
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: But I just fuck like, this is better than the

254
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: NBA All Star Game as it was at its peak.

255
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: If you love hockey, just the brands of the players

256
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: that are stepping on the ice in and of themselves

257
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: make this the must watch one v two. Like I

258
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: had to have this because I love hockey and I

259
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: wanted to see the absolute best in the sport go

260
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: at it and with this level of not just like

261
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: exhibition skating around, like this level of ass kickery, with

262
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: this level of passion to an All Star game essentially,

263
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's to inject that drug in my veins.

264
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

265
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: And Canada their biggest advantage is the high end attacking talent, right,

266
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: I mean Nathan McKinnon and Connor McDavid. They are understandably

267
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: for anybody who pays attention to the NHL, and I'm

268
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: sure many people in the audience do. They are two

269
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: of the best players in the sport bar Nune, and

270
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 2: they are on.

271
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 3: The same team. McDavid has been just unstoppable.

272
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: I think he may have been he may be the

273
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 2: best player in these Olympics so far. I would not

274
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: pretend to have watched every Canada game, or what do

275
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: they call it, exhibition in the lead up to it.

276
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: But he's got thirteen points in five games. He is

277
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: absolutely lethal and he has continued to find ways to

278
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: elevate his game. In McKinnon, I mean, they're in this

279
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: game because of McKinnon. He had He was the one

280
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: who scored the late goal to beat that to beat

281
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: the finish the Finland team in the semi final with

282
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 2: the late rally at that point in time. So you

283
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: got the two best players in the sport on the

284
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: same team. That is the biggest advantage for Canada. It

285
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 2: will be fascinating to see if the US can find

286
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: ways to mitigate that or if they're just gonna have

287
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: to get into a shootout that way because Quinn Hughes,

288
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: I mean, just play play free bird, Play freebird. Every

289
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: time Quinn Hughes steps onto the ice. The guy is awesome. Uh,

290
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 2: it should be a great matchup. I'm hoping for a

291
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: great matchup because I'm kind of scared. I'm not gonna lie.

292
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm kind of scared. I'm kind of scared of the

293
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: Canadian I'm there's a lot of fake bravado by maybe

294
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: that's gonna be even more fake bravado when I have

295
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: seven Kilistas at by nine am in the morning tomorrow.

296
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 2: But I am I fear the Canadian team at this

297
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: point in time.

298
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and I'm gonna be honest. You know who's

299
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: never once complained in anything I've seen anywhere about the

300
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: time of the puck shop. Canadians. They were built for this, man,

301
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: They are built for this. They are ready as a country.

302
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: I love the fact that even in the semi final

303
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: rounds there were certain provinces in Canada that required the

304
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: games be shown in school. So the entire school just

305
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: watched Canadian hockey.

306
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: Like they can't even let the public schools out for

307
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 2: the for the championship parade.

308
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 3: Canada will not.

309
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: Be an excuse accident, acts, excuse absence. And then you

310
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: got Canada over here saying every school required to watch

311
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 1: hockey today. So Canadians were built for this. Uh, you

312
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: should be built for the iHeart app. You can stream

00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: what our microphones are on by saying Mike's are hot,

346
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: which is ironic telling us mikes are hot, or were

347
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: listening to Mike's ring afire, Mike's Mike's a ring of fire.

Speaker 1: It was his first time ever stepping on stage and

359
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: he went in and absolutely killed it. It was incredible.

360
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: He was a superstar. I never doubted it. He's just

361
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: one of the best kids I've ever met in my life.

362

00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: just sorry I didn't get to see it in person,

365
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,520

375
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 2: Your favorite sport in the world is college basketball and

376
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 2: is not particularly close.

377
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: That's why I was excited today because today is a

378
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: wild day for college basketball. The top four teams all

379
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: in action against each other. We already saw Arizona topple Houston.

380
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: That's number four versus Number two, but we are about

381
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: to get this tonight. We get really the matchup of

382
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: the year that everybody's anticipating, Michigan versus Duke. And it's

383
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: funny because as much as we spend so much time

384
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: in the college basketball season already talking about Boozer and Duke,

385
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: who's absolutely great. He'll be on display tonight. AJ debonsa

386
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: a perennial possible first overall pick in the NBA draft.

387
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: AJ plays at BYU, And then obviously we have Peterson

388
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: and Kansas. So these three superstars. I just sort of

389
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: laughed because we become so focused on those three superstars.

390
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: In the meantime, all Michigan has done is be absolutely

391
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: dominant all year long. Like Michigan scared, like you just

392
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: watched Scar against Northwestern.

393
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 2: They They've had a couple of scares so far this season.

394
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 2: They are they are excellent. Obviously, they are a rightfully

395
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 2: crowned number one overall team at this point in time

396
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: for the first time, and it's I can't remember exactly

397
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 2: the time period, but it's been a while since Michigan's

398
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: had the best team in college basketball.

399
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: But anyway, continue No.

400
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: But that's the thing to me that blows my mind.

401
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: Michigan's twenty four and one and so and to me,

402
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: when you talk about a team that's huge, they have

403
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: so many big bodies, but they also have incredible length,

404
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: they get out to the perimeter incredibly well, like they

405
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: cover defensively. It's stuck in my head watching Michigan State,

406
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,160
Speaker 1: who can't shoot, like Michigan State can't hit the broad

407
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: side of a barn from three, but watching them try

408
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: and get any sort of open look against Michigan was

409
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: embarrassing a few weeks ago. Right like, Michigan just hits

410
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: at a different level. I'm really interested tonight to see

411
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: what this looks like because right now, if I had

412
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: to take Michigan to the field for the NCAA Tournament

413
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: to win it all, I'd actually take Michigan. I think

414
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: they are truly better than everybody this year.

415
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know what do we think about the

416
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 2: idea of these of two of the best three teams

417
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: in college basketball playing a game like this towards the

418
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: end of the regular season on a neutral court. Because

419
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: this Duke Michigan game is in Washington, d C. To

420
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: be fully transparent, I haven't read enough into it to

421
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: understand why it's in Washington, d C.

422
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 3: But I don't.

423
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 2: Necessarily love the idea that we're taking a game that

424
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 2: would be just a blockbuster if it was on a

425
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 2: campus and moving it to a neutral site this way.

426
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: It's one of the things that drives me the most

427
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: insane about college football.

428
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: I hear you. I'm torn on this because here's what

429
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: I've said every year. Every year, I say the same thing.

430
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: If I was CBS, what I would do knowing that

431
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: the weekend after the Super Bowl we are creatures of habit.

432
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: So the weekend after the Super Bowl, everybody at one

433
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: pm Eastern sat their fat asses down on the couch

434
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: and looked at the TV and said, what am I

435
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 1: going to watch? And couldn't find anything. Right, if I

436
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: was CBS at one o'clock and four o'clock respectively on Sunday,

437
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: the first Sunday after football season, I would put the

438
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 1: two biggest matchups of the year in college basketball. So

439
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: I love the fact that, although it's not exactly that,

440
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: I do love the fact that we're getting non conference

441
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 1: massive games when people will pay attention. Give all of

442
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: these non conference massive games to give us early in

443
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,959
Speaker 1: the season are just wasted. Nobody's going to pay attention

444
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: to college basketball and November, no matter how hard you try,

445
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: so moving a game like Michigan to Duke to this moment,

446
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: the calendar I love I would have done it at

447
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: one o'clock or four o'clock on a Sunday. And yes,

448
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: I'm with you. If I had the chance to see

449
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 1: this game at Cameron or this game at Michigan, that's

450
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: a better atmosphere. Like I think there is a moment

451
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: of you have to remember what you're selling, so you

452
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 1: are right like neutral syche. College football games piss me

453
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: off because they don't sell the thing that makes college

454
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: football the most incredible, which is the shots of the

455
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: fans doing surrender cobra every three minutes, right, Like, that's

456
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: what makes watching college football great. I want that same

457
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: level of chaos for this Michigan Duke game, even though

458
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: we won't get it because it's in Washington.

459
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: So anyway to get back to the game itself.

460
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 2: Boozer is obviously a player to watch and this He's

461
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 2: averaging almost twenty three points a game, ten repounds, three

462
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 2: point eight to six almost two steals per game for

463
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: the Blue Devils. He's an absolute force out there. They

464
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: are nine and one in their last ten games and

465
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: are they are winning pretty comfortably against this now Michigan,

466
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: against the opposition that they face. Michigan is favored tonight

467
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: by three and a half points, depending on which sportsbook

468
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 2: that you're looking at. I am curious to see what

469
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 2: Michigan's plan, what Dusty May's plan is to try and

470
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 2: stifle Boozer, or if they're just relegated to the idea

471
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: that you know what, he's going to get his numbers.

472
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: No matter what, we just have to make sure that

473
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: we can keep pace here.

474
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: It's also crazy because you mentioned, you know, the coaching

475
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: element of it, and May has done a really good

476
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: job at Michigan.

477
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 3: Can to be Indiana's coach and it's just makes sane

478
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: after Indiana just got their asses kicked by Purdue last night,

479
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 3: almost almost a thirty point game, disgusting.

480
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: Can we acknowledge that we always say you don't want

481
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 1: to be the man that replaces the man. That's exactly

482
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: what John Shire is and he's done it effortless. Like

483
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: think about the fact we'll get into this in a second.

484
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: We gotta get you caught up on the scoreboard, so

485
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 1: we'll get Martin to come in and gets caught up

486
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: on what's going on. But coming up next, gonna get

487
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Duke replacing a legend.

488
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 8: So just a little background on the duel in the

489
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 8: district they call it because you were asking Buck, why

490
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 8: is this game being played in Washington, DC? Just right

491
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 8: now they get in price The lowest one on seat

492
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 8: Geek is five hundred and fifty six hundred and fifty

493
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 8: five dollars to get a ticket. This game has been

494
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 8: sold out for quite some time, and I would say

495
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 8: that in Washington, DC and other places like kind of

496
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 8: in that footprint, there's a the amount of Michigan and

497
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 8: Duke alumni or was a Michigan alumni at least I'll

498
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 8: speak for them that they've been on Michigan boards trying

499
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 8: to get tickets for this thing for three months. Like

500
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 8: it's been the hottest ticket I could think of, Like

501
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 8: as soon as this team was any good, everybody wanted

502
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 8: to go to it. So I'm not saying it's like

503
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 8: a college atmosphere that would be like Cameron Indoor, but

504
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 8: it basically it might be just be on Michigan home game.

505
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 8: I'm not I don't even mean that as a home

506
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 8: just to like provide some context about it. Men's college

507
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 8: basketball scores in action right now at the half, Yukon

508
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 8: and Villanova, the fifth ranked Huskies, having two thirty four

509
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 8: to thirty two lead over the Wildcats. Twenty fifth ranked

510
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 8: Alabama and LSU tied twenty one a piece with six

511
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 8: forty four left in the first half. Earlier, we saw

512
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 8: fourth rank Arizona be twenty second. I'm sorry, Lord A.

513
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 8: Mercy's second rank Houston seventy three to sixty six.

514
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: Anthony Doorso had twenty two points.

515
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 8: Darius Acuff Junior had a twenty point night as twenty

516
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 8: ranked Arkansas was victorious over Missouri. Cincinnati beat eighth ranth

517
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 8: Kansas by sixteen points, eighty four to sixty eight, Kansas'

518
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 8: worst loss to UNRAKED opponent in fifty three years. Worst

519
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 8: home loss for Bill self and Tennessee upset Vanderbilt sixty

520
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 8: nine to sixty five.

521
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 3: Congratulations.

522
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 8: The Cowboys have agreed to a three year, twenty four

523

527

Speaker 1: Buck Rising Up. Jason fitz Buck and Fitz hanging out

528
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: with you on Fox Sports Radio. What do you make

529
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: of that? A buck like when, because look, I get it,

530
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: everybody wants to go to these exit these games and

531
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: random places. It's a significant game. I saw court side

532
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: seats for this game between Michigan and Duke. We're going

533
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: for as much as sixty six hundred dollars to sit

534
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 1: court side, which is only funny to me because for

535
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: anyone that hasn't paid attention, the Wizards are so bad

536
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: that first row not technically on the court, but the

537
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: first row seats off the court the other night were

538
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars. So sixty six hundred bucks to go

539
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 1: see Michigan Duke, two hundred bucks to sit front row,

540
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: not on the court, but the first row of seats,

541
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: about two hundred bucks to go in and see the

542
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 1: Wizards there, Like there is something to the fact that

543
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: this is a spectacle.

544
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't know.

545
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: I get what Martin's saying about the the level of

546
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 2: Michigan support in Washington, d C.

547
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: Or whatever, But.

548
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 2: It's just it's not about people that can pay sixty

549
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: six hundred bucks to go to a basketball game. You

550
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying this is it's about students. This

551
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 2: is why I loathe the idea. I've come to terms

552
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,959
Speaker 2: with international games in the NFL. Okay, Like I get it.

553
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: They want the money. They want to grow the game.

554
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: They want to grow the game because they want the

555
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 2: money of the streaming services and all these different like

556
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: you know, de Zone and all these international streaming services

557
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: that they can start to cash in on more than

558
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 2: so than they already are. With the amount of expats

559
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: that are living overseas and things like that. I still

560
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 2: cannot reconcile Niners and Rams a divisional game in Australia,

561
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 2: but whatever, It's a conversation for another day. The idea

562
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: that they have contemplated and are actively playing college football

563
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: games internationally makes me insane because it has no business

564
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,959
Speaker 2: being overseas, not because of any any kind of like

565
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 2: moral you know, moral issue or for what purpose.

566
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 3: Is what was it?

567
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: Was it Boston College and Florida State that opened up

568
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: in Dublin a couple of years ago, and things like that.

569
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: I think we are doing the Ireland game as one

570
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,239
Speaker 2: of the first game. We had another Ireland game this year.

571
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 2: I can't remember exactly what it was. Farm again. Whatever

572
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 2: farm again was the opener this year in Dublin. You're

573
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 2: just sending a lesser version of football over the thing

574
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: that makes it college football college basketball is that it

575
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: is played on campuses with college students in attendance who

576
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 2: have more passion than anybody who's gonna pay sixty six

577
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: hundred dollars to sick court side at a Michigan Wolverine's

578
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: Duke Blue Devil's game in Washington, d C. I just

579
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: can't reconcile it. It makes me sick.

580
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: You're not wrong in the sense that, look, I've never

581
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: seen a game at Michigan. First to admit that I've

582
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 1: never seen a basketball game in Michigan. I hadn't been

583
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: to a game of Cameron. I was at the Shoe

584
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: blowout game for Zion A. Cameron and incredible we I

585
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: mean we were up in the rafters, Michael Junior and

586
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: I were up in the rafters, and I remember right

587
00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: before the Shoe blowout, Mike said, I just want to

588
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: see one thunder Is dunk, and then the Shoe blew

589
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: out on the one Thunderer's dunk. But the proximity of

590
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: the crowd to the court and the way that entire

591
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: arena is designed, and how on top of everybody everybody is,

592
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: and when you factor in people that have been camping

593
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 1: outside for days just to the chance to get in,

594
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: that is what makes college basketball electric, right, Like, that's

595
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:35,439
Speaker 1: what makes college basketball feel particularly special? Are those moments.

596
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: I honestly, one way or the other, there are just

597
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: certain places that I will watch no matter what when

598
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm flipping through you know, Fox does a great job

599
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: of Fox Friday Night college basketball. I love watching Friday

600
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: Night college basketball on Fox. And the reason that I

601
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: love watching it is because to me, there's just some

602
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: joy that comes out, Like I don't care about Michigan

603
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 1: State one way or the other, but I care about

604
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: watching you know, that whole his own area and the

605
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: way that they're just collapsing on top of everything. When

606
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: I go to Connecticut games up here at stores, the

607
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: first thing I'm looking at is that student section. I'm like, Ah,

608
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: what are they like? So you're right, I do think

609
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: as much as there will be a packed atmosphere for it,

610
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: I also think it's fair to admit that no matter

611
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,400
Speaker 1: how they shoot it, because the arena is an NBA arena,

612
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: because the cameras in the arena are NBA cameras. It's

613
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 1: going to feel like an NBA game no matter how

614
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: they try and make it feel like a college basketball game.

615
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care. I don't want it to be.

616
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 2: I don't want it to feel like an NBA game.

617
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: I wanted to feel like a college basketball game. You know,

618
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 2: it's just won't and it's not. You say it'll be

619
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 2: a packed atmosphere, and I agree with half of that.

620
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: It'll be packed. There will be people in attendance. These

621
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 2: are two huge brands. They're two of the three best

622
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 2: college basketball teams in the country. There's no question there's

623
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 2: going to be an atmosphere, but it's not going to

624
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: be the atmosphere that it would be. Should it be

625
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: at Michigan or should it be at camera? That is

626
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: my biggest issue. The atmosphere comes from the students.

627
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: You're not wrong and look, a big part of this

628
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: also comes back. We said part of the reason this

629
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,440
Speaker 1: matchup is incredible is that John Shire has stepped in

630
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: in the shadow of Mike Krzyzewski in a way or

631
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: just absolutely blows my mind like it blows.

632
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: I haven't been able to find a basketball coach for

633
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: you know, my entire lifetime basically, other than a couple

634
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 2: of fun Tom Green years that really didn't result in

635
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 2: much fun. If you lose in the sweet sixteen to

636
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: a worst Syracuse team because he can't figure out the

637
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 2: zone makes me insane.

638
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 3: But like the fact that Duke could just you know

639
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 3: that they that they've.

640
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers quarterback to their way through one of

641
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: the most iconic coaches in the history of sport, not

642
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: just in college basketball, into somebody who's.

643
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, I'm not gonna say John

644
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: Shires coach.

645
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: K or anything like that, but he's really damn good.

646
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: I remember distinctly when he was coaching Waiting and we

647
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: all knew he was taking the job. I was talking

648
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: to Jay Will at the time, and Jay Will said

649
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna be there will be no drop off. And

650
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: I remember Jay Will leaving the room and I laughed,

651
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what a homer.

652
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 3: God, there's gonna be no drabs.

653
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: And then I look around and I'm like, my god,

654
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: I just there. Whether it's talent acquisition, whether it's talent development,

655
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: whether it's putting a team together quickly and getting them

656
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 1: to jail together, whether it's the ability to, you know,

657
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: sustain focus throughout the course of the entirety of the

658
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: regular season, whether it's keeping the main thing, the main thing,

659
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: whatever you want to say. All of the things that

660
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: were part of the identity of what Duke basketball was

661
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: is still part of the identity of who of Duke

662
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: basketball is. Like Alabama would kill to have kept the

663
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: level of everything that Saban brought to that building, but

664
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: we all know that that's impossible. It doesn't mean kaeland

665
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: Divor is not a good coach. It just means he's

666
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: not a nick sitement. I can't remember any time in

667
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: college sports where there's just been that sort of a

668
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: change from a legend to a guy that nobody knew

669
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: anything about other than he has history with the program,

670
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he just steps right in

671
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: and nobody misses a beat.

672
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: I have nothing else to add to this beyond I'm

673
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 2: disgusted by it, because again, my my program has be

674
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: Darren Devreeze is going to be Okay. I'm an Indiana

675
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: basketball fan. If anybody didn't know, and it's one of

676
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: it used to be a blue blood. I don't know

677
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: if you can call it a blue blood anymore. I

678
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't, which makes me sick. Now they're a blue

679
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: blood in college football all of a sudden, which you

680
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 2: know is a.

681
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: Conversation for another day.

682
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: But I I just Duke fans shouldn't get nice things

683
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: like this.

684
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Like it's like the Patriots.

685
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: We ian who's a Jets fan was talking about the

686
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 2: Patriots during one of the commercial breaks and the idea

687
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: that they've just kind of tripped back ass words into

688
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback again. Awesome head coach again. And the one

689
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: thing that could undo Mike Rabel is an offensive coordinator

690
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: that might leave him for a.

691
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: Head coaching job.

692
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 2: Except the offensive coordinator that he has is Josh dam McDaniels,

693
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 2: who should not Maybe he will, but should absolutely never

694
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 2: get another head coaching opportunity. If he gets a third one,

695
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: I will be sick to my stomach either way. The

696
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 2: one thing that could hamstring Vrabel is the offensive coordinator

697
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 2: that's probably not going to get hired again. Patriots fans

698
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 2: don't deserve nice things. Duke fans don't deserve nice things.

699
00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry.

700
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: That's You're not wrong. I can't disagree with anything you

701
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: just said. He's buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz. Obviously that

702
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: game tipping off now will keep you updating on how

703
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: it goes. But coming up next, Buck is gonna be

704
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: at the Scouting comby next week, which is more than

705
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: I can say for one prominent NFL head coach. What's

706
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: it mean? We'll tell you next. Bucking Fits on Fox

707
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. I don't

708
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: know how I'm supposed to talk over Paul Abduel. This

709
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: song is just absolute classic, absolute banger. Song is older

710
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: than you are. Buck, He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz.

711
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: Bucket fits straight up to tell me.

712
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: I was just gonna say the American Idol judge Paul Abdoll.

713
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: She sings, dude, this is this is what I did

714
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: with every single day, even.

715
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: I knew that some mation.

716
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 2: Please, sometimes you just gotta be petulant for the sake

717
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: of being Petulan Murray.

718
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: That's everything he does. Oh oh, there's a great story

719
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: about her singing this demo in like a closet when

720
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: she was trying to make it and then it turned

721
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: into the record. Go check it out somewhere on Instagram.

722
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: I'm sure they have that out there and then look

723
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 1: at this, he's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitzbucket fits on

724
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Buck, you are going to be in

725
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis in just a few days for the NFL Scouting Combine,

726
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: which you've gone to multiple times and is a great

727
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: opportunity for you to be around the league and you know,

728
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: hang out with everybody and also do your other jobs. Right.

729
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: But what's interesting is the report came out today that

730
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: the Jags are sending essentially no one there. GM and

731
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: head coach Liam Coleen both not going to the combine.

732
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: Now I'm torn on this because certainly the Rams decided

733
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: a few years ago that there's basically no value in

734
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: the underwear Olympics. There are teams that choose not to

735
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: go every year. You were there all the time. How

736
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: do you view that when you see a team like

737
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: the jack deciding that they're just basically not going to

738
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: participate it.

739
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and James Gladstone, for people who don't know, he

740
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: is the general manager of the Jaguars. He comes to

741
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: the Jags by way of the Rams. So this is

742
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 2: a little bit of a through line there about the

743
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 2: actual value of it. I mean, listen, if you're if

744
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 2: you feel sound and secure in your scouting process that

745
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 2: you don't need to pick up, you know, a chunk

746
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: of your operation and spend a week in Indianapolis, then

747
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: that's that's fine. Like, there are some things about Indie

748
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: that are beneficial, I think for the most part, now

749
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: that the whole thing is televised, right, like, the NFL

750
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: has shifted it around to make it a more fan

751
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,759
Speaker 2: centric experience. They've moved the workouts to the weekend so

752
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: that people can consume it on TV and make it

753
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 2: more of a television event than it was. So you

754
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: can get access to I would say the vast majority

755
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:57,720
Speaker 2: of things that are going to be available to everybody

756
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 2: who does make their way to ending. Now there's a

757
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 2: couple of things that you can that you can parse

758
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: here about, well, can you actually get the kind of

759
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: conversations about these players with their representation, with the people

760
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: that know them, with people around them, put them through

761
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: the rigors of some of these meetings that you do

762
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: where you put them on the board, you test their acumen,

763
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 2: you you know, you throw them a little high heat

764
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 2: every once in a while, make them uncomfortable. Obviously, there's

765
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 2: a long and pretty gnarly history of of unpleasant questions

766
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 2: that have been asked of players that the NFL has

767
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 2: done its best to try and ween out of or

768
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,800
Speaker 2: ween off of. Right Where who was it was it Des?

769
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,439
Speaker 2: Was it Des Bryant who was asked about his mother?

770
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 2: And and uh with with I can't remember the exact details,

771
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: but it was something to do with the level of

772
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 2: promiscuity about his mother, right, Like, it's just as.

773
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 1: A trigger players to see the reaction. It's a very

774
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: inappropriate thing to do.

775
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: Yes, you can trigger dudes without you know, bring it

776
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: going too far. Right, There are ways to test that

777
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 2: and needle people without you know, taking it to an extreme, which,

778
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 2: of course, and we find out about the worst ones. Right,

779
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that every team in the NFL is

780
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:24,840
Speaker 2: using that practice. So again, if if they are sound

781
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 2: enough in their process to you know, spend time doing

782
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: other things, I don't know what else they would really

783
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 2: be doing other than consuming all of this on television

784
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: and trying to talk to people who are in Indie

785
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 2: about all.

786
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 3: These other things.

787
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: If you feel like you can make it a phone

788
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 2: call as opposed to heading up to Indianapolis for a

789
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 2: week like most of us do. And it ends up

790
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 2: being more than a week for a lot of these teams.

791
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 2: I know people who love the combine. They're also coaches

792
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 2: who participate in Speaker Series and a lot of these

793
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: women in sports.

794
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 3: It's a convention, right.

795
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: If you don't feel like you need to be there

796
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 2: for the convention and for the convention parts of it,

797
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: and you can spend your time elsewhere and be more efficient, fine.

798
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 3: I the Jags were.

799
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: One of the best operations in football last year. Liam Cohen,

800
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: one of the best young head coaches in football. James Gladstone,

801
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 2: I think had an argument for Executive of the Year

802
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: last year with the way that that roster was constructed,

803
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 2: some of the decisions that they made to put that

804
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 2: team together. So I'm not gonna nitpick them if you know,

805
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they turn around and their draft

806
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 2: is terrible, and it just becomes an easy thing to

807
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 2: poke holes in if they start to fall off a

808
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 2: little bit. For the most part, I think a lot

809
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: it's kind of like that. It's it's not quite the

810
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: senior ball because teams have gotten away from sending huge

811
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 2: contingents to Mobile Alabama anymore. You can do a lot

812
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 2: of this stuff virtually you can do a lot of

813
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 2: the things that need to be done. Again, all of

814
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 2: it is on television, all of it is made available.

815
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 2: And it's not like teams don't send anybody to Mobile anymore.

816
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm sure the Jags will have some people there if

817
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 2: it's not their head coach and their general man.

818
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: To me, it's not the end of the world.

819
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: I think there's logic to not sending guys to and

820
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: I'll go back to in a much different world. But

821
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: I'll go back to when I was, you know, a

822
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,280
Speaker 1: musical director of a band. If a guitar player quits,

823
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: then it's my job to put together an audition for

824
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: a guitar player right away. Got to get that. You know,

825
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,400
Speaker 1: you have twenty four hours. Got to get a guitar player.

826
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: I can't imagine how difficult like it would already, because

827
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: I already have my phone book of my people that

828
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: I know and people that I'm going to reach out

829
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: to and say who should we look at. I'm going

830
00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: to look at everybody. I can't imagine suddenly walking into

831
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: a room where there are hundreds of additional guitar players

832
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: that then all of a sudden, everything I thought I

833
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: was sure of, I'm no longer sure of. And then

834
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: you get into a situation where maybe you start to

835
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: see something that makes you question what you thought going in,

836
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: And I don't know that that's always productive. If you

837
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: trust your process as a talent evaluator, if you trust

838
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: your process with film, if you trust the way that

839
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: you're doing your job, I think it's actually smart to

840
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 1: stay away from the chaos of all of it that

841
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: might make you suddenly feel differently about things you don't

842
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: need to feel differently about. Like let the people that

843
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: need to be there go be there, but the rest

844
00:39:02,760 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: of them, Like if I don't want Liam Cole walking

845
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: into the room and falling in love with something he

846
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: sees there that doesn't match what we've spent months working

847
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: on from a huge body of work. You know what

848
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean.

849
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 3: And make no mistake, Indianapolis is chaotic for this week.

850
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: I mean, this is.

851
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 2: The scouts and people and people from the teams don't

852
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: get done with these meetings with the players. The players

853
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: don't get done with the meetings till eleven o'clock. The

854
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: players are all staying inside their training. They're trying to

855
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: make sure they got their recovery and all these different things,

856
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 2: the coaches and the scouts and all the executives. They're

857
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 2: out in the street like Indy. It's not quite the

858
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 2: Mark Sanchez type of deal, but which you know, I'm

859
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: sure there will be a lot of jokes in Indy

860
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: made expense this week, but you know there is the

861
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 2: opportunity for chaos on and off the field.

862
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and staying away from that and just trusting your

863
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: process is important. All right. Everybody keeps telling you college

864
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: football needs a commissioner. What if the answer isn't that simple.

865
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: We'll talk about it next, Bucking Fits on Fox Sports Radio.

866
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Sometimes there are really

867
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: complicated issues and everybody thinks they have a solution, But

868
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: in the process of trying to solve it, all you

869
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: realize is things are getting more difficult. We've talked a

870
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: lot about that when it comes to things like NBA tanking.

871
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: Why every solution actually seems to create more problems. But

872
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: every time we talk about what's wrong with college sports,

873
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: the simple answer people give is that you need a commissioner.

874
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: The problem is when you actually follow that out, it

875
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: raises a lot of questions that I think are honestly

876
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: truly unanswerable. It's Bucking Fits. He's Buck Rising on Jason

877
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: fitz bucke Fits hanging out with the on Fox Sports Radio.

878
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: I will be clear, there is one very real solution

879
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: in the minds of many to what ales college sports

880
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: right now, and that is the eventual unionization of all

881
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 1: the players and all the schools come together and it

882
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: becomes just like every other professional sport. And we've said

883
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: that on this Showbuck, We've talked about these sorts of

884
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: things and why maybe that's the inevitability that I think

885
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: is going to take years of court challenges and years

886
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: of everybody stepping in and trying to figure out. But

887
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: here's the funny thing. Over the course of the last

888
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: week or so, there's been this real momentum based on

889
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 1: Mike Elcho and others saying, hey, we need someone in charge.

890
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: And the first thing that everybody comes to is like, well,

891
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: who would that person work for and how would they

892
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: represent everybody the same? But I don't even know if

893
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 1: that issue that that completes all of the complications, because

894
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: my question to the world is, if you have a

895
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: commissioner of college football, what does that do to college basketball?

896
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: And everybody else, Like, how is it humanly possible for

897
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: a commissioner, which already is going to be the most

898
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 1: daunting and incredibly difficult job that is impossible in the world,

899
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: to represent equally? And thirty two NFL teams are represented

900
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: equally by Roger Goodell, how is one college football commissioner

901
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: going to equally represent the needs of UNLV football at

902
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: the same time as he represents the needs of Let's say,

903
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: I don't know Bama. That's impossible. The structure already is broken.

904
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: But then if they make some mass change on eligibility

905
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: or some rule on what school is going to do.

906
00:42:02,360 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: What if they make some mass rule that applies to

907
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,840
Speaker 1: college football, how are they legally going to stop that

908
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: from also applying to dot dot dot college basketball. So

909
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: when you think about it that way, the real answer is,

910
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 1: if you have a commissioner of college football, you're likely

911
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: going to have to have that person be the commissioner

912
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: of all college sports, which is the nc double A,

913
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 1: which has already been knocked down in court over and

914
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: over and over again.

915
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the thing, right, And I vehemently, you know,

916
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 2: disagree with the NCAA on basically everything that they've done,

917
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 2: because it's it's their fault that we are in this mess.

918
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 3: Okay, ye, first and foremost, that it is their fault.

919
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 2: That we are in the state that we are in

920
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 2: with collegiate athletics. Now, I'm okay with the way that

921
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: things are going collegiately. I understand why a lot of

922
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,240
Speaker 2: people aren't. I understand the harms that lay ahead because

923
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: we are still a bit of an exploratory period, again

924
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: allowed by the NC DOUBLEA, which by exploratory period I

925
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 2: mean the wild Wild West, and every court case that

926
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 2: gets brought up, I mean Joey Aguilar, for example, the

927
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 2: Tennessee quarterback, last year's Tennessee quarterback, he will not be

928
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 2: next year's Tennessee quarterback, just had a case adjudicated where

929
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: he will not get his eligibility extended. And that was

930
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: a huge win for the NC DOUBLEA in court because

931
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,320
Speaker 2: of the precedent. It sent sets different than Trinidad Chambliss,

932
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 2: for example, who was doing so on the case of

933
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 2: his health and the time that he has missed due

934
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 2: to injury. This was a juco case or a case

935
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,479
Speaker 2: that was involving you know, time spending juco versus time

936
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: spending Division one football, not having to do with medical

937
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 2: red shirts or anything like this. This was just purely

938
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 2: on the basis of eligibility. In the NC DOUBLEA got

939
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 2: the rare win in this particular situation. Now we'll see

940
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 2: if Joey Aguilar and his legal team try.

941
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:56,759
Speaker 3: To extend it.

942
00:43:56,840 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: But the main the problem here is, and the one

943
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: thing that I will say that I do agree with

944
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: the NC DOUBLEA on is that at every turn every

945
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 2: one of these court cases that gets settled or gets

946
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 2: decided or the NCAA loses, or even more rarely, the

947
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 2: nc DOUBA wins.

948
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 3: Charlie Baker and the NC Double A.

949
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: Have put out in Charlie Baker, the president of the NCUBA,

950
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 2: has put out a statement calling for congressional oversight. I want,

951
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't think that's going to happen because Congress, it's

952
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,439
Speaker 2: not a politically winning position at this point in time,

953
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 2: at least nationally, to wade into the waters of collegiate eligibility, right, Like,

954
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 2: that's not something that people are going to stump on

955
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 2: when when midterms come around or when you're you know,

956
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 2: you're advocating to maintain your House or Senate seat like

957
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 2: this is not a widespread problem that needs to be

958
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,320
Speaker 2: solved in this country. It's more it's more jazz hands

959
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: for you know, the rest of America, right for the

960
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: for the people like us that work in sports, for

961
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 2: the people who are trying to argue for the For

962
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: the case of financial earnings, like Agular, he stands to

963
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: make a hell of a lot more money in college

964
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 2: football than he would if he we will go to

965
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 2: the go to the NFL Combine next week. But he's

966
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: not gonna make any money in the NFL. It's gonna

967
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 2: be curious to see if he's a draftable player even

968
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: where he probably make two million, little more than two

969
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: million dollars ballpark, if he was able to go back

970
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 2: to Tennessee based on the nil that he was making

971
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 2: and got him to Tennessee in the first place. I

972
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: do agree, though with Charlie Baker, that there if we

973
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 2: are going to get a first step towards a resolution,

974
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 2: there needs to be congressional oversight because you need to

975
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 2: get states to agree on the same principles to make

976
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 2: over arching guidelines that apply to all of college football,

977
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 2: all of college basketball, baseball, softball, swimming and diving, all

978
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 2: these different NCAA sports. You need to have a guiding

979
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 2: sense set of principles Federally.

980
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 3: You don't get that without.

981
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,800
Speaker 2: People who control federal legislation getting involved with that. I

982
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 2: could make a state's right joke states rights joke here,

983
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: but you know, we're already probably going to wait into

984
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 2: dangerous waters here in just a second.

985
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 3: But that's not what it is.

986
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: It's one hundred percent what it is. But the problem

987
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: is if you want congressional oversight to come in and

988
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,799
Speaker 1: fix college football, now you have to ask yourself, does

989
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: a congressman from Alabama who is representing his state the

990
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,799
Speaker 1: way they want college football to be run. Is that

991
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: congressman going to have the same needs, objectives, goals ideas

992
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 1: as a congressman from Nevada. I keep using UNLV as

993
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: an example because that's I'm from Vegas originally. I live

994
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: in Connecticut. I live in Connecticut. Do we think that

995
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: a congressman representing Yukon cares about the same things that

996
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: a congressman representing Ohio state does? Right? That's why this

997
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 1: is all The concept of congress coming in and fixing

998
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: everything would applied that congress men and women would all

999
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: have the same objectives in what they want out of

1000
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: college football. They would all see it the same. There's

1001
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: absolutely no proof that that is the case. So if

1002
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: your answer is, well, college football is going to break off,

1003
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 1: college football is going to break away from everything, and

1004
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: they're going to become their own entity. Okay, they're still

1005
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 1: part of colleges. So now what happens. Let's just play

1006
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: this out. Let's play it out where college football breaks

1007
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: off on their own, and then college football decides that

1008
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: they're going to allow eligibility to run a certain way.

1009
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,439
Speaker 1: Let's say that they decide that, you know, you get

1010
00:47:33,440 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 1: medical red shirts and JUCO and you get a total

1011
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: of six years for example. Okay, if they do that

1012
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 1: at the University of Alabama for their football player, what

1013
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: happens even if they've broken apart, what happens to the

1014
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: first time that a women's soccer player also wants six

1015
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: years of eligibility and now is being told that even

1016
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 1: though she goes to the same school, she's not going

1017
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: to get that opportunity. That's going to be challenged in court,

1018
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:00,479
Speaker 1: that's going to lose. How is that Congress and also

1019
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: going to then fight for football, but also then tell

1020
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: everybody else I'm not fighting for all these Title nine sports, Like,

1021
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: it's just how are non revenue generating that's what they

1022
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 1: prefer to be Olympic sports, Like, how are non revenue

1023
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: generating sports then going to be represented in all of this?

1024
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Because they also vote right. So it's complicated for Congress.

1025
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 1: But it's also complicated for the legal eaes of it

1026
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: because if you want to separate college football, if that

1027
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: is your answer, you have to understand that there's no

1028
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: legal precedent that actually allows that to happen. And immediately,

1029
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: if I'm running a college basketball team and you're telling

1030
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 1: me that Alabama football is allowed to have extra eligibility

1031
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: for this in this and extra nil opportunities for this

1032
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: and this, the first thing I'm doing is saying, well,

1033
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,440
Speaker 1: I want that for college basketball too. So now I

1034
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: got a bunch of twenty six year olds playing college

1035
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: basketball that are making millions of dollars. And then my

1036
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: women's flag football department, which is going to be a

1037
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: sport in the next couple of years at every major school.

1038
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: It's going to turn around and say, well, if you'll

1039
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: do that for the men's football team, you're sure still

1040
00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: going to have to do that. For the women's for

1041
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: ball team, Like this is the trickle down that everybody

1042
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: wants to live in the vacuum of the one sport

1043
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: they love and say, well, we can fix this. I

1044
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: don't think legally you can fix college football without acknowledging

1045
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:14,240
Speaker 1: every other sport and have it stand up in Congress

1046
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: or in court.

1047
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 2: But I do think that you have to at least

1048
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,799
Speaker 2: move in that direction to see what can be accomplished,

1049
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 2: what sticks, and what fails. Right because that we were

1050
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 2: just we are still. I mean, when was the Supreme

1051
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 2: Court case allowing name, image and likeness where it was

1052
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:32,959
Speaker 2: unanimously ruled.

1053
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 3: It's been five.

1054
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: Years, six years, maybe less than six we'll say ballpark

1055
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 2: five years. Okay, we're five years into this crap, and

1056
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: we still don't have guiding principles, really like effective guiding

1057
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 2: principles to rain this thing in.

1058
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 3: We don't have guidelines. It is more, we do have guidelines.

1059
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that there's no rules on it at

1060
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 2: all whatsoever, but like for the most part, we are

1061
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: still very much trying to figure this out five years

1062
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 2: in as a part of at least advancing the conversation

1063
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 2: to that point. FITSI about Okay, this is what is

1064
00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 2: going to be applicable. This is where we're going to

1065
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: have some pitfalls. This is what's going to going to

1066
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: allow us to have commissioners. Are we going to have

1067
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: commissioners of each individual sport? Are we going to have commissioners?

1068
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 2: I mean we do have commissioners already conferences and things

1069
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,279
Speaker 2: of that nature, but like, I feel like we have

1070
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,879
Speaker 2: to get to a point where legal precedent can be established.

1071
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:34,160
Speaker 2: And the only way to advance the conversation to me

1072
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 2: is to start getting federally involved.

1073
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: Now, how do you have commissioners of every sport when

1074
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: they're not? Like? This is where we keep going. I

1075
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: keep going back to this. All thirty two NFL owners

1076
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: decided that they were going to work together towards one goal,

1077
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: and they were going to have one person be in

1078
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: charge of all of that. The only real way that

1079
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: that happens in college athletics is if every single college

1080
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: in America nominates one person to run every single college

1081
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 1: in America. And as much as people want to say

1082
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: right now and I'm not a lawyer, I'm not going

1083
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: to pretend to be a lawyer. I'm just I'm a disturber.

1084
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:16,959
Speaker 1: I know that, like I look at every new rule

1085
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: and every new law and every new action that's put

1086
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: in place, and my first thought is, how will the

1087
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,919
Speaker 1: worst person take advantage of it? It takes me about thirty

1088
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 1: seconds to rip most things apart. That's just how I'm natured.

1089
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: So when I put my logical hat on this and

1090
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: I say, man, all right, well, it seems pretty impossible,

1091
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,280
Speaker 1: like we're going to end up with you play football

1092
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 1: in one conference, in basketball in another conference, in baseball

1093
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 1: in another conference, and each of those commissioners are going

1094
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 1: to have different rules for what your school is able

1095
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: to do and not able to do that don't apply

1096
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: from athlete to athlete within the same school. And we

1097
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: think that's not going to get challenged in court. We

1098
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: think Title nine's not going to challenge that. We think

1099
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court's not going to get involved in say

1100
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: can't do that. You can't hold one student at the

1101
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: University of Alabama to a much different standard than you

1102
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: hold another their student at the University of Alabama and

1103
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: get away with it. That's why I keep saying, like

1104
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: it's impossible. Is it's all impossible? Like I think we're

1105
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: just screwed, and everybody keeps saying, well, this is what's

1106
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: going to eventually tear the sport apart. I think the

1107
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: only thing, the only real answer to this is that

1108
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,399
Speaker 1: we gotta let the sports tear themselves apart. We got

1109
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 1: to let the whole thing get ripped apart at the seams,

1110
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: and then somebody's gonna have to come in and rebuild

1111
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: the damn thing from the ground up, which could take

1112
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: twenty years. Like I become a lesson less.

1113
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,839
Speaker 3: To get solved, Yeah for sure.

1114
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 2: Like I mean, how far are we a decade away

1115
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: from unionization among the athletes, like for collective bargaining and

1116
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 2: things like that? Are we five years away from that?

1117
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: I two years?

1118
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 3: I have no idea. I think you we are seeing

1119
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 3: what you're describing.

1120
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 2: Like the fabric of college sports is being torn asunder.

1121
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:48,839
Speaker 3: Right.

1122
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 2: Also, I would like for you to use disruptor as

1123
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 2: opposed to disturber. Disturber sounds disrupt you know, some kind

1124
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 2: of repeating tom or something like that.

1125
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: Well, because what I was trying to say is, like

1126
00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:00,640
Speaker 1: my mom always said that I was a oop disturbed.

1127
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 1: She didn't she my mom didn't use the word poop,

1128
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: but my mom always said that I was a poopster. Like,

1129
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: It's just I'm one of those people that I walk

1130
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: into a room and I figure out what triggers everybody,

1131
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, how about this, and then i just

1132
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: walk out of the room. I get it. A fecal

1133
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 1: disturber is what I was gonna say. But then I

1134
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: decided I'd try and leave fecal out. And now I've

1135
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: said every form of that several times. You know what,

1136
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep disturbing us. Yeah, I got nothing. This

1137
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: is a perfect time for us to recalibrate and take

1138
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: a break. All right. So if none of this solves it,

1139
00:53:30,480 --> 00:53:33,240
Speaker 1: but it's going to take help from other people, how

1140
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 1: does it actually get fixed. We'll break some of that

1141
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,920
Speaker 1: down and the right way to have that conversation. Coming

1142
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,399
Speaker 1: up next, Bucking Fits. He's Buck Rising. I'm Jason Fitz,

Speaker 1: the iHeart app All right, he's book rising. I'm Jason Fitz.

1151
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 1: I just have to read that, you know, quietly over

1152
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: the piano, because the piano is just so soothing and

1153
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:11,959
Speaker 1: so calming, which is probably important because now we're about

1154
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: to have a conversation that is neither. All right. So

1155
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: the funny thing is, we were just talking about how

1156
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: to fix college sports, and I started that conversation by

1157
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: acquiescing that I think it's wildly complicated, and I'm not sure.

1158
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: You know, Look, I'm not the smartest guy in the world.

1159
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: There's certainly a ton of people in this world that

1160
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: I hope can look at this and find an easy solution,

1161
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 1: or at least a viable solution. I'm not one that

1162
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: can see something that genuinely works for everybody involved. Like,

1163
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: I think we're all kind of screwed when it comes

1164
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 1: to the future of college sports, just in trying to

1165
00:54:43,960 --> 00:54:46,760
Speaker 1: find some normalcy. I don't really care if the haves

1166
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:48,600
Speaker 1: and the have not separate themselves and all of it

1167
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: falls apart and comes crashing, it'll rebuild in some sort

1168
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: of way. I love college sports. They are my favorite

1169
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: thing to cover. I absolutely adore college football, college basketball.

1170
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 1: They mean a lot to me. So obviously I want

1171
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: the health of this. But what's interesting is that a

1172
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: lot of this conversation now is we need Congress to

1173
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: step in and Congress can figure it out. As you

1174
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: and I have already talked, that's difficult because every congressman

1175
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 1: and woman has a different set of needs for their constituents.

1176
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: They're supposed to look out for the rights of their voters.

1177
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:20,360
Speaker 1: I highly doubt that the voters in Idaho feel the

1178
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: same about college football, college basketball, and whether or not

1179
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: college gymnastics thrives as the voters in let's say, Michigan

1180
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: and Ohio. Right, So this becomes a very I don't

1181
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: know that New Hampshire congressmen and women are going to

1182
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: be as concerned about some of these things or see

1183
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 1: the puzzle the same way as let's say somebody does

1184
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: in Texas. Right. So, I think this gets really difficult,

1185
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: and that's where oftentimes what we do is we step

1186
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 1: in and say, let's get the president to solve this,

1187
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: and that just also feels difficult to me. And to

1188
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: that end, somebody that you know well and that I

1189
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: work with at Yahoo Sports in some capacities, Josh Pate

1190
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: is about to have the President on his show, and

1191
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 1: he's become particularly polarising as they get ready. I think

1192
00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 1: tomorrow is when the interview airs, and there's been a

1193
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: lot of conversation. Josh has made it very clear that

1194
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a political conversation, this won't be one.

1195
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: This will be about nil and the future of college sports.

1196
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how they handle it, but certainly

1197
00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 1: it's polarizing because now you have somebody in sports media

1198
00:56:20,280 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: talking to the president, and everybody feels some sort of

1199
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: way about this administration, whether or not people in the

1200
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,799
Speaker 1: media should be talking to them. So it's a polarizing issue.

1201
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 2: Well, and it's a question of should people in people

1202
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 2: in sports media be interviewing the President of the United

1203
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 2: States about this particular topic and is this something that

1204
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,720
Speaker 2: the President of the United States should even be spending

1205
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:48,320
Speaker 2: that much.

1206
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 3: Time on right, given a variety of.

1207
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: Different things, whether and again we are it is it's

1208
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 2: impossible to have a conversation and say it's well, it's

1209
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: not political when you're talking about the president of the

1210
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 2: United States. It is inherently political, right even if your

1211
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 2: intent is not to be political, as Pates was not

1212
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: to be political. But given the climate around Donald Trump

1213
00:57:13,200 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 2: right now, and you know, people like the former Prince

1214
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 2: Andrew getting arrested for connection to the Epstein files and

1215
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: all these different things that are swirling around societally right

1216
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 2: now that also have ties to the President of the

1217
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 2: United States, it is it fair to wonder, one, if

1218
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,680
Speaker 2: that's the interview that Josh should be saying yes to.

1219
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 2: Two is Josh who is this is? This is a

1220
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,919
Speaker 2: close personal friend of mine. Okay, Josh paid is based

1221
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 2: out of Nashville. He comes on my local show. He's

1222
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 2: obviously doing you know, he's got his own college football show.

1223
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 2: He's doing a lot of things with ESPN, and he's

1224
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 2: got his own platform without people like us talking about

1225
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 2: him or platforming him or other things.

1226
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: Also known to be a very good dude by everybody

1227
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: I know that knows Josh.

1228
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 3: I love this man.

1229
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 2: Okay, this is one of my favorite people in our business.

1230
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 2: And I am also somebody that says okay when something

1231
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 2: just like when a news story breaks or when information

1232
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 2: gets leaked. Who benefits from that story, from that information

1233
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 2: being leaked, Who benefits from Donald Trump sitting down with

1234
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: Josh Pate and doing an interview. Is what is the

1235
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 2: purpose of this? Does it actually accomplish a goal? Is

1236
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 2: it kind of like the Saudis and some of the

1237
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 2: stuff that they're doing with the sports washing where they're buying,

1238
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,720
Speaker 2: you know, buying into the PGA Tour and live golf

1239
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 2: and all these things. And they're bringing NFL stars both

1240
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 2: current and former, over to Saudi for for flag football

1241
00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 2: to try and normalize things. And look at all these

1242
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 2: American sports stars coming over here. Even though we all

1243
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 2: understand all of the human rights issues with Saudi Arabia,

1244
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,520
Speaker 2: they're they're talked about them enough. It's a question of

1245
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 2: do people care first and foremost, if there are ulterior motives,

1246
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 2: if it is more of a smoke screen to not

1247
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: talk about the things that are swirling around a political

1248
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 2: person at this particular point in time, versus you know,

1249
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 2: is this person actually serious about getting something done and

1250
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,600
Speaker 2: how important is it in the scale of what that

1251
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 2: person is actually supposed to be doing in their job.

1252
00:59:28,560 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 2: So his argument, Pate's argument is that any time you

1253
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 2: have the opportunity to interview the President of the United States.

1254
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 2: You one hundred percent of the time, one thousand percent

1255
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 2: of the time take the opportunity to interview the President

1256
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 2: of the United States. My question is, because I get

1257
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 2: that in principle, and I largely agree with that in principle,

1258
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 2: is Donald Trump different than ever every other president of

1259
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 2: the United States? And are we going to start screaming

1260
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 2: and shouting about we'll stick to sports when a political

1261
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: figure inherently tries to do all of these things and

1262
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 2: maintain a level of popularity in the world of sports.

1263
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: He wants to have UFC fights on the White House lawn,

1264
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 2: right He's he's showing up the National Championship Game. And

1265
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 2: I think he went to an NFL game. He's like

1266
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 2: the first sitting president in since like Ronald Reagan to

1267
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 2: go to an NFL game this year. I think with

1268
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 2: the lines and the commanders earlier this year, it's it's

1269
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 2: just one of those things. Are are we now okay

1270
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: with sports and politics intertwining or is it still something

1271
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 2: that people are going to have a visceral reaction to

1272
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 2: because of who the President of the United States is.

1273
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 2: It's a very complicated thing. And you know, I'm sure

1274
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 2: Pate's going to do a great job. And Pate is

1275
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: not somebody who is going to dip into the politics

1276
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 2: of who Donald Trump is or otherwise. It's just it's

1277
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 2: a very, very, very complicated situation. And I just wonder,

1278
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 2: and I, you know, include myself in this. Obviously, are

1279
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:13,440
Speaker 2: we as a sports media equipped to be talking to

1280
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 2: this person given all of the things that surround this

1281
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 2: person beyond just the purpose of that conversation, if that

1282
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 2: makes any sense.

1283
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: There are there are layers to this.

1284
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 3: Really long By the way, I'm very sorry for rambling.

1285
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,240
Speaker 1: No, no, that, but I love like, look, when this

1286
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:30,080
Speaker 1: show has serious conversations, we're just gonna have these serious

1287
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: conversations in front of Mike's the same we would when

1288
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: we're not in front of Mike's, like two friends having

1289
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 1: a real conversation about it. There's some layers to your answer.

1290
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: I want to respond to it, but we got to

1291
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: get you caught up on the scoreboard. So Martin, we're

1292
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: gonna have you come in, get the caught and get

1293
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,480
Speaker 1: you caught up on the scoreboard. I have thoughts on

1294
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,720
Speaker 1: what you just said, but I'll reply after Martin gets

1295
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: us to score all right, we got three games live.

1296
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 8: In the top twenty five in college basketball, Yukon with

1297
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,560

Speaker 8: two thirteen left in the second half, twelve minutes left

1299
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 8: in the second half or twenty fifth rank to have

1300
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 8: a ban was a sixty five fifty one lead over LSU.

1301
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 8: And in a top three matchup number one Michigan and

1302
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 8: number three Duke, the Blue Devils lead thirty five to

1303
01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,439
Speaker 8: thirty three at the end of the first half. Saw

Speaker 8: fourth rank Arizona b second ranked Houston seventy three to

1305
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,560
Speaker 8: sixty six. Darius Acuff Junior had twenty points. At twenty

1306
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 8: threinth Arkansas beat Missouri. Cincinnati upset Kansas, the eighth nine

1307
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 8: team in a nation, by sixteen points eighty four to

1308
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 8: sixty Eight's the worst loss by unranked opponent for Kansas'

1309
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 8: fifty three years.

1310
01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 3: Worst home loss for bill self.

1311
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 8: Tennessee upset nineteenth rank Vanderbilt sixty nine to sixty five.

1312
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 8: In NFL news, the Cowboys have agreed to give a

1313
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 8: three year, twenty four million dollar contract to Devonte Williams

1314
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 8: that includes sixteen million in guaranteed money. The Jaguars head

1315
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 8: coach Liam Cohen and general manager James Gladstone have announce

1316
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 8: still skipped the scouting combine and Mary K. Cabin of

1317
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 8: the Cleveland Playing Dealers reporting that Browns linebacker Jeremiah o

1318
01:02:57,120 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 8: Wusu Cormor will likely be will unlikely be returning to

1319
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 8: play in the NFL. And at the Genesis Invitational, Jacob

1320
01:03:05,280 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 8: Bridgman ended at nineteen under that was back to you.

1321
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: It's bucket fits buck rising, Jason Fitz on Fox Sports Radio,

1322
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 1: and you raise some interesting questions because certainly the question

1323
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: is can you stick to sports in these situations? And

1324
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 1: the funny thing is, I'm torn on this answer from

1325
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: a very real answer. I want to be clear here.

1326
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 1: If the President of the United States asked me to

1327
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: do a sit down interview with them, I would do

1328
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: it in a heartbeat, and I will be consistent, y'all.

1329
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: If anyone's new to covering my life, I was a

1330
01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: musician for many years. I was lucky enough in my

1331
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: life to play for Reagan W. Clinton, I played for All,

1332
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: I played for George Bush, SR. I played with artists

1333
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: that didn't necessarily politically agree with George W. Bush and

1334
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: then ended up in the Oval office, having one of

1335
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 1: the coolest moments of my life, Like, I think there's

1336
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,760
Speaker 1: so much incredible weight to what that office means, and

1337
01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: being at the White House, I had the opportunity to

1338
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: play for Obama twice, and one of the artists I

1339
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: played for also didn't politically agree with Obama. And the

1340
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: funny thing is I sat stood I stan weren't sitting

1341
01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: at the table. I stood next to the President and

1342
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: had a nice, you know, three minute that felt like

1343
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: four hour conversation with him. But each time the conversations

1344
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 1: I had with w were about the fact that his

1345
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: daughter was about to get married and he didn't even know,

1346
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: Like he was like, this is just so weird to

1347
01:04:23,720 --> 01:04:25,439
Speaker 1: try and deal with, you know, and that it was real.

1348
01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 1: When I had my conversation with Obama, it was really about,

1349
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, he was getting ready to transition out of

1350
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: office and what was that life going to be like

1351
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: for him. So I find the opportunity to talk to

1352
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: a president as something that is far bigger than any

1353
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: political belief. And your question is, can you talk to

1354
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:44,240
Speaker 1: a president and stick to sports. My challenge to that

1355
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 1: typically is that's exactly what everybody did. Every time Obama

1356
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: was asked about the NBA, every time that we were

1357
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: asked about college basketball brackets, like we've done that in

1358
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: recent history. So then the question becomes, can you talk

1359
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: to this president about just sports? And that's the real

1360
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: crux of what we're getting to here, And to me,

1361
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: I think you can. But I also have to acknowledge

1362
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 1: all the way back two years ago when Kenny Rodgers,

1363
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 1: when we were touring and we opened for Kenny, and

1364
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: he was giving us life advice one night, and Kenny

1365
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: Rogers said, you know, perception is reality, is what everybody

1366
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: always says, but that's not enough. You have to understand

1367
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: that the perception is one that you helped create and

1368
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: you now live in. And so I think what you

1369
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: have to understand from an interview is, even if I

1370
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,520
Speaker 1: stick to sports, will the perception be what I wanted

1371
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,280
Speaker 1: to be from the interview. That's probably where this gets

1372
01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: really difficult, because if Peyt goes in and does the

1373
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: best interview we've ever heard about just nil in the

1374
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 1: future of college sports, he'll get some credit from it,

1375
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: but he'll get blowback from both sides about what he

1376
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 1: didn't ask or what they thought he should have done

1377
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 1: in that moment. So it's interesting because if I was

1378
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: in Josh pat shoes and President Donald Trump called me

1379
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: today and said, Hey, I want you to sit down

1380
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: and interview me, Hell, yes, I would do that ten

1381
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: times out of ten, but I would have to understand

1382
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: that the blowback I'm going to get from that is

1383
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,240
Speaker 1: that people that don't agree with his policies or all

1384
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: of the controversy that is currently around him are not

1385
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 1: going to understand why I didn't ask him about those things.

1386
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 1: Even though I don't think I'm qualified to ask him

1387
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,920
Speaker 1: about many of those things. I'm not an expert on

1388
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: those things. I'm an expert on sports and music, So

1389
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: if the President wants to talk to me about either

1390
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: of those, we will have the deepest conversation ever. But

1391
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: if we start getting into some of the policies and

1392
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: some of the things in life that have impacted him

1393
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 1: the way he's perceived, I should say I think I

1394
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: would be unqualified to really dive deep into that, which

1395
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: might be a reason I shouldn't do the interview. But

1396
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: if I'm going to interview him just about what I'm

1397
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 1: an expert in, how can I pass up that opportunity?

1398
01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 1: So I see what you're saying. I think so much

1399
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: of this is just how's it going to be perceived?

1400
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Will anyone be able to watch it for just what

1401
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 1: it is and through the process of all of it,

1402
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 1: whether you love or hate the interview, are you actually

1403
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: going to just see the interview for the answers or

1404
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 1: is the interview no matter what, going to see as

1405
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:01,280
Speaker 1: either an endorsement of or a lack of ability to

1406
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: follow up on really difficult conversations that have nothing to

1407
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: do with what Pet's actually going to talk to the

1408
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: president about.

1409
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's not like an equal time situation, right,

1410
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 2: like gonna and I'm gonna go, you know, dig Joe

1411
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 2: Biden out of his beach house in Delaware just to say, oh,

1412
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 2: I did him, I did them both, We did nil

1413
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 2: conversations with them both. Every everybody back off, you know

1414
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, Like it's I I don't think and listen,

1415
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 2: We've we've always been politically divided. That's not new to

1416
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 2: the country. Okay, that's that goes back. It's deeply ingrained

1417
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 2: in our history. People have certain beliefs and there is disagreement.

1418
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,800
Speaker 2: The question is is the disagreement healthy You're gonna argue

1419
01:07:41,800 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 2: that the disagreement has taken an unhealthy turn in the

1420
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: last couple of years, fomented by social media and a

1421
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 2: lot of other things that you know, societal ills that

1422
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:54,000
Speaker 2: we are not here necessarily on Fox Sports Radio to solve.

1423
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 2: I do not think me personally, and maybe I'm wrong

1424
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 2: about this. I'm maybe I'll get some some feedback on

1425
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 2: this to the opposite, And by the way, I'm certainly

1426
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 2: happy to have a conversation about some blind spots in

1427
01:08:08,200 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 2: how it is that I feel or what it is

1428
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 2: that you know, how I perceive this particular situation with

1429
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: a friend of mine who just so happens to be involved.

1430
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 2: I don't think that you can do the interview and

1431
01:08:22,200 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 2: that people you can do the interview right, But you're

1432
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 2: fool in yourself. You're kidding yourself if you think that

1433
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:30,760
Speaker 2: people are just gonna take it for what it's meant

1434
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 2: to be, which is a conversation about name, image and

1435
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 2: likeness in college sports, like there's just no matter how

1436
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 2: hard you try and succeed.

1437
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 3: And I'm looking forward to I'm going to listen to

1438
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 3: the conversation tomorrow night.

1439
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 2: Pat's give him a plug. The College Josh Pay's College

1440
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 2: Football show wherever you get your podcast, He's gonna have

1441
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 2: Donald Trump on the podcast tomorrow.

1442
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 3: The conversation that he.

1443
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 2: Had earlier in the week will air with Donald Trump

1444
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:00,799
Speaker 2: tomorrow night when his podcast goes up. I just don't

1445
01:09:00,880 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 2: think there is any scenario, and I really feel this

1446
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 2: way about any political figure, where a conversation with a

1447
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 2: sports person or conducted by a sports person will not

1448
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:19,120
Speaker 2: be viewed as an endorsement of whichever political candidate that

1449
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 2: you're talking about.

1450
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,720
Speaker 3: Now, you can be okay with that, you know what

1451
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Like you, you don't.

1452
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,680
Speaker 2: There are good there are good things about that. There

1453
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,560
Speaker 2: are drawbacks to that, but that's a very you just you.

1454
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 2: At least in the in the era that we live

1455
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 2: in now, there's no way, even if even if you

1456
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 2: are a nuanced person that you won't feel some type

1457
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 2: of way seeing your favorite sports broadcaster sit across from

1458
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 2: a political person that you either voted for and agree

1459
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:50,760
Speaker 2: with whoever it is, whoever it is, or vehemently disagree with,

1460
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 2: did not vote for, and probably personally dislike.

1461
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 1: Dude, that very real moment here I grew up with.

1462
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,560
Speaker 1: It's such a just a hard line in this. My

1463
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 1: parents are two of the most brilliant people I've ever

1464
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 1: been around in my life. My mother is one of

1465
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: the smartest people I've ever had a conversation with. My

1466
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: mom was so adamant that, you know, the thing you

1467
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: never talk about a religion and politics. You don't talk

1468
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 1: to anybody about religion and politics. That's the world I

1469
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 1: grew up in, and it's so it's weird for me

1470
01:10:21,240 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: the number of times I finish a show of some

1471
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: sort and I'll see people tweet, oh, you know, no

1472
01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: matter what. If I say something one way, then I'll

1473
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: get a bunch of tweets about how I'm just part

1474
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: of the liberal media problem. And if I say something

1475
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: another way, then I get tweet This is I take

1476
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: pride in this that sometimes my Twitter wall within the

1477
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: same day will tell me that I'm a gun totin,

1478
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: you know, trashy Republican, and then three seconds later I'm

1479
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: the conservatives, conservative liberal media. That's a problem with everything, Like,

1480
01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: I take pride in that, but it also drives me

1481
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: crazy because the thing that I never really disclosed sitting

1482
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: in front of a microphone is how I feel about

1483
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: any of this, Because there's just no win in it,

1484
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: Like there's no chaining anybody's mind, and I just I

1485
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: try and stay as as and even that now neutrality

1486
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: has become the devil. Like so now if I don't

1487
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: take aside all of a sudden, just by saying this,

1488
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get lit up on Twitter by people that

1489
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: are like, ah, just another And it's funny because I'm

1490
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: a complicated person that feels a lot of different things

1491
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: about a lot of different policies, and it's hard to

1492
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 1: put me in a box one way or the other.

1493
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: To your point, I don't know Josh at all. I

1494
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: would love to get to know him over time, but

1495
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know Josh. I hope he understands that no

1496
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: matter what his intent is, intent won't matter. Right. That's

1497
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 1: just unfair to the way the world is, but that

1498
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: is the way the world is. There are gonna be

1499
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: people that he could do the single greatest, most perfect

1500
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: sports interview of all time, and there are people that

1501
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: will simply take the fact that he talked to the

1502
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:49,200
Speaker 1: president as one way of leaning one way, and they're

1503
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:50,960
Speaker 1: going to judge Josh Pate for the rest of his

1504
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: life because he did that. He could do the worst

1505
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: interview of all time, and there are people that's suddenly

1506
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:57,920
Speaker 1: gonna take it into the total like it doesn't matter

1507
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: what his intent is, unfortunately, won't matter to the way

1508
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: that it's received. That breaks my heart because that's where

1509
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 1: we are as a modern society now. Like you could,

1510
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 1: I could go in today and say I want to

1511
01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: do the perfect interview with the president that is only

1512
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 1: about sports, and it won't matter to so many people

1513
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 1: because they will have a problem with the construct that

1514
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:19,559
Speaker 1: I sat down with them to begin with.

1515
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean, you know, some people are okay

1516
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 2: with that, right like you just I pays a smart guy,

1517
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 2: pays a very calculated guy.

1518
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 3: I have no doubt and maybe he doesn't. Maybe you know, you.

1519
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 2: Can't ever calculate the sheer volume of what that becomes

1520
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 2: when you sit down with a political figure, much less

1521
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 2: the president of the United States, much less this President

1522
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,920
Speaker 2: of the United States, because again, this one has a

1523
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 2: particularly polarizing effect. They're all polarizing to some extent, but

1524
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 2: this one is a particularly polarizing figure either way. So I,

1525
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm sure he did a great job

1526
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 2: with it. I'm gonna listen to it. I'm gonna listen

1527
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 2: to it for what it is. I just don't think

1528
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 2: most people will.

1529
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a deep conversation that we appreciate you guys

1530
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:10,800
Speaker 1: letting us have because it's not an easy conversation for anybody.

1531
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: And through all of it, you know, we're just both

1532
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:17,480
Speaker 1: approaching it with open minds and open ears as friends. Obviously,

1533
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: this show ends every single show the same way. It

1534
01:13:19,840 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: couldn't get more different. So we're gonna get into it.

1535
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: Would you Rather Come? The single greatest game show on

1549
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 1: real moment with you all, like we spend so much

1550
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,679

1551
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:01,600
Speaker 1: which is why we love doing this show. You're just

1552
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: talking to two longtime friends. They get to do radio together.

1553
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys giving us the grace to have

1554
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: a deep and meaningful conversation that we just have for

1555
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,200
Speaker 1: the last thirty minutes about complicated issues. So it's a

1556
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:14,400
Speaker 1: beautiful thing and when we're allowed to do that, and

1557
01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 1: we appreciate you guys sticking with us to all that.

1558
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: So let's get back to what we do that makes

1559
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 1: us who we are. It's sign for the single greatest

1560
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 1: game show in the history of sports talk radio. Buck,

1561
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:30,320
Speaker 1: it is time for what you rather? That wasn't bad?

1562
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 3: Absolutely crushed them, I think.

1563
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Mary, we nailed that, right.

1564
01:14:34,240 --> 01:14:35,080
Speaker 6: I'm proud of you guys.

1565
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Thank you nine and a half out of ten. Oh

1566
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: we're bad, baby? All right? That was good? All right?

1567
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:43,400
Speaker 1: Are you ready to spin the wheel for?

1568
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 3: Would rather?

1569
01:14:44,360 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: Alright? It's a very digital sounding the wheel. It's time

1570
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,960
Speaker 1: hanging all right?

1571
01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 7: Would you rather loudly reveal your Social Security number? Every

1572
01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 7: time you yawn or loudly say I hate you you

1573
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:01,320
Speaker 7: every time you sneeze?

1574
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 2: Oh well, it'd probably be the latter for me, but

1575
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 2: more often than not, that's probably coming out of my

1576
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 2: mouth directed you know, very very specifically at somebody.

1577
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 3: I'm good with that I hate you, sneeze say their name.

1578
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean I don't know, like I think.

1579
01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 1: I think if you said I hate you every time

1580
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:21,679
Speaker 1: you sneeze people around you, but actually laugh at least

1581
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: the first few times, like people. But here's the thing,

1582
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: Like I sneeze particularly loud, and I sneeze with a

1583
01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 1: particularly like like it's it, and there's usually two or

1584
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: three of them. So all of a sudden, I'm gonna

1585
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: be in a nice restaurant screaming I hate you, I

1586
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: hate you, I hate you. That makes me a little uncomfortable,

1587
01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: but I go with that, like I don't. I don't

1588
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 1: really need to tempt the dark web, although I am.

1589
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,640
Speaker 1: I am a little tempted with that. We kind of

1590
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: just did. Yeah, yeah, probably one percent.

1591
01:15:46,400 --> 01:15:48,719
Speaker 7: You just need to make sure you never ever yawn

1592
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:52,920
Speaker 7: on air, because then, oh yeah, you're social Security just broadcast.

1593
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 1: To every very fit. Also, go ahead, no, just.

1594
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 7: Say I hate you like that sounds somewhat similar to

1595
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 7: a chu like you can kind of like I you,

1596
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 7: I you.

1597
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 1: I don't know something very prominent media member that works

1598
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:10,160
Speaker 1: at ESPN that once on his podcast accidentally put his

1599
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:13,760
Speaker 1: whole phone number out there. Nobody called, nobody called. She

1600
01:16:13,760 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 1: showed you. How many people listened to the whole episode?

1601
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,560
Speaker 3: Oh no, that would be humbling.

1602
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, well you know he's done. Okay, he

1603
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you got for us.

1604
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 3: Next to you, I would be so hurt.

1605
01:16:30,840 --> 01:16:31,600
Speaker 1: All right, A.

1606
01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 7: Little a little more serious one here. I guess would

1607
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 7: you rather be the top WWE superstar in the world

1608
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 7: or be the world's number one ranked golfer?

1609
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, golf sucks. I'd rather be the top WWE person.

1610
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: It's real club. Look, got it. I have been. I

1611
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: have been to Augusta twice. I've been offered to play

1612
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: Augusta and I let our crew guys do it instead.

1613
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: I have no I have no interest in golf. I

1614
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: had no interest in golf. I mean all I didn't

1615
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 1: even realize I was out Augusta like I was. When

1616
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: the memory was being recounted on air and somebody mentioned, oh,

1617
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 1: you just got to go to Augusta. My old co

1618
01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 1: host to bradon Golf was talking to me at the time.

1619
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: He's like, you don't like golf because you haven't been

1620
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,200
Speaker 1: to Augusta, and I was like maybe. Then we went

1621
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: to break and I looked down at my phone and

1622
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 1: I was like, why is my phone blowing up? We

1623
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 1: were in Nashville on the air and it was a

1624
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: bunch of my crew guys from the band Days Say

1625
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,559
Speaker 1: No No. We played the eighteen total of Augusta twice

1626
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 1: and they set up a stage there and the second

1627
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 1: time we were offered the chance to play around there

1628
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 1: and I let the crew guys play because I don't

1629
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: like golf. I spent the whole time complaining about the

1630
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: locker rooms not being particularly nice. I don't care about golf.

1631
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,840
Speaker 1: I'm out on golf completely. WWE Champion of the World, Yeah,

1632
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,000
Speaker 1: give me that big old belt. Yeah, make me Drew McEntire,

1633
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: if we're going ban for ban, I'm not gonna lie.

1634
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: I go to golf out. I don't even like golf,

1635
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: but I'll ban for ban.

1636
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:48,959
Speaker 7: I'll go to golf out a lot less athletically demanding.

1637
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 7: You can play a really long time. I mean, I

1638
01:17:50,960 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 7: guess with WWE, those guys have really long careers too.

1639
01:17:53,400 --> 01:17:56,799
Speaker 6: But yeah, but again, do you play what eighteen eighteen

1640
01:17:56,880 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 6: rounds eighteen holes and you get a billion dollars.

1641
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: Here's the thing, okay, money aside. Like when you do

1642
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,240
Speaker 1: something great in golf, you get a golf clap, You

1643
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 1: get a golf clap. When you win the Royal Rumble,

1644
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 1: you stand on a top rope and you just glisten

1645
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 1: while you stand over the crowd and you throw that

1646
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: belt in the air and you're like, ah, and all

1647
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, I mean, people are screaming your name.

1648
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: All the cloud monster in me just would die for that.

1649
01:18:28,479 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 3: Oh.

1650
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 7: A lot of throwing yourself onto the mad and stuff like,

1651
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 7: just a lot more physicality is like golf, You're just

1652
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:36,640
Speaker 7: like chill.

1653
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,840
Speaker 1: Greased me up and throw rope, grease me up, throw

1654
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:42,559
