WEBVTT - DPS Hour 3 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:07.080 Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Tuesday, Dan and the 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:11.760 Dan Instan Patrick Show stumbled upon this story buster Onney 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:16.079 reporting on it that there's a new technology coming to 0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.480 Major League Baseball starting as early as Thursday, Baseball allowing 0:00:20.520 --> 0:00:24.759 pitchers and catchers to use anti sign stealing technology during 0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:29.920 the regular season, and the players will This is called 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:33.240 PitchCom and there's a pad with buttons on the wrist 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:36.840 of the glove hand. Catcher can then signal pitches, pitch 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:41.400 type and location directly to the pitcher through a listening device, 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.000 the listening devices in the helmet or hat, and then 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:50.920 that will be relayed almost like an Alexa to the pitcher, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:56.480 so it'll be her ball we went away, and then 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.360 he'll be able to hear it. And I guess up 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:00.840 to two or three other players can hear this in 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.400 the infield or outfield to be able to position themselves. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:10.000 What could go wrong. We'll get to phone calls coming 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.360 up Final Hour and Reggie Miller, the return of Reggie 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.240 Aloisius will join us coming up in about twenty minutes 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:20.920 from now. Poll question for the Final Hour Seaton is well, 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:24.679 Dan I think with the pitch coom pitch tech conversation, 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.520 maybe we pivot to that it's a pitch com is 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:31.240 an overreaction to sign stealing, smart and invention to keep 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.200 things fair. We'll lead to a new type of cheating. 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:41.040 We got also say PitchCom is a great idea, terrible idea. Yeah, 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:44.680 I players are always going to cheat. It's like you 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:50.559 can have more, you know, stricter rules regulations about using 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:54.320 performance enhancing drugs. They'll find something else. They're going to 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.960 find another way to try to get an advantage. That's 0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:01.200 just that's nature. That's how we're wired. Where you're trying 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:06.120 to find an advantage. Sometimes it's legal, sometimes it's not. Yeah, poll, 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.280 Now this appears to be over compensation because remember when 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.440 we talked about this when the sign stealing stuff was big. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.400 You three played baseball. If you're at second base and 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.760 you could somehow read the catcher and physically sign that 0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.840 to your hitter, do you guys consider that illegal sign stealing? No, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.040 so that's now off the board. It's been done for 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.760 over a one hundred years in baseball, and that now 0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:30.760 is off the board. No, it's up to you, right. 0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.880 It's like if you go out to the mountain. You go. 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:35.320 Come on, man, you got to be throwing that fastball here. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.960 All right, let's go fastball. It's on you if you 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.880 raise your voice now, if you go, you' gotta do 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.520 that fastball right, Okay, Now, you're taking care of your 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:46.680 side of this if you leave the door open for 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.120 me to look into where your catch. I always wanted 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.120 to know location. I didn't I, you know, because the 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.160 signs can screw you know, that can screw up your 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.519 teammate when you're going, you know, fastball, like you put 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.760 your right hand on your right leg, or your left 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.520 hand or your left leg could be curveball. I wanted 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.560 to signal location because location would then help you a 0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:10.840 little bit more. If I say curveball and I'm screwed 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.840 up the signs now, I'm really you know, somebody can 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.080 get hurt. Yeah, Paul, So Baseball, instead of just making 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:19.600 sure teams didn't use apple washes to steal signs from 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.639 center field signal to the dugout bang a can, they 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.840 overcommensated by removing the entire human element of sportsmanship reading 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.200 reading signs because someone else isn't protecting it, you have 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.800 one at least one person on every baseball team who 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.880 is good at stealing signs. It can be a guy 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.040 who's on the roster as one of your bench coaches. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.520 I mean, that's what he does. He's always looking. He's 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:47.600 going to read the third base coach. He's going to 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.240 see if when you put down fastball or curveball, do 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.000 you put it down a little too low that I 0:03:52.040 --> 0:03:55.000 can see underneath your leg and see that you're holding 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.320 down two fingers there. It doesn't take long for these 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.800 guys to decipher. They're like breakers. But what happens if 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.200 a picture wants to shake off the catcher you then 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:09.640 you have to reinput the pitch type location into the pad. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:14.240 Maybe there's a no button like the picture hears in 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.560 their ear slider down the way hit Nope, but does 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:21.240 the does the picture have the pad on his wrist? 0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.560 It's just the catcher. Yeah, I really don't know. I'm 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:26.599 guessing if you know, all of a sudden, it's like 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:32.800 fastball down the pipe and you go, no, oh, yeah, 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:35.320 they could just shake it off. They always shake it off, 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.039 shake it off, But then you have to then you 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.800 have to put in another pitch, and then what happens 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.800 if you shake there are guys who shake them off. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.320 They'll be like three in a row they're shaking them off. 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.600 That's not any different if you're using your fingers or 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.359 you're using your pitch com well, you still have to 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:53.039 punch it in. Yeah, but it only it takes like 0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:57.640 two seconds, okay, and then two more seconds and then 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.880 two more seconds. If I shake you off three times, 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.359 the pitch clock is, you know, counting down. But that 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:04.880 I mean, that would be the same though, if you 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:06.920 wiggle your fingers one way and then you shake it off, 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.839 a wiggle your fingers another way, shake it off, wiggle 0:05:08.880 --> 0:05:10.560 your fingers another. But if you have you know, real 0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:12.839 thick fingers and you press the wrong you've I mean 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.520 we've all you know typed text and you go, oh, 0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.839 the wrong one, you hit a nut, wrong button there, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.640 don't know that you've hit it? Yes, Or if you're 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.080 not getting a good signal on the mount, now you 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.240 got to step up the rumber and walk towards second base. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.800 You can commit back to the mound. How many bars 0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.680 you got out there? I got I got one bar, 0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:32.760 I got one board? Why does he keep walking up 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:35.400 and down the third base line? Pitch the ball it's third. Yeah, 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.280 it'd be a play at the plate and the catcher 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.360 falls over and batteries are flying all over the balls 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.520 over there. You know, you go in, your spikes are up, 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.240 you're trying to hit that the catcher's wristband there. But 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:53.600 I guess this starts on Thursday. It's supposed to, is it? 0:05:53.640 --> 0:05:56.800 Is it optional? That's what I'm curious, because if I'm 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:01.480 a pitcher, what is that receiver in my hat? Like you? 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.240 Because that's how you're gonna hear it. You don't have 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.560 anything in your ear. You don't have an earpiece to you. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.640 I couldn't imagine pitching that way. All right, come on in, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.640 stay a while if you can. We talked a lot 0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:15.680 about what Kansas was able to do. North Carolina was 0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:20.520 up sixteen, Kansas comes back, and it was awkward to 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.720 see Bill self up there with the president of the NCIA, 0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:29.039 Mark Emert, and Kansas is being investigated for some things 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.880 that happened, some improprieties that happened back in twenty seventeen. 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:36.279 This is almost like when Roger Goodell was on the 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.440 podium with Bill Belichick. You're this is awkward, And of 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.599 course I was there It didn't feel awkward, but I 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.800 could see the optics if you're looking at it. And 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.960 last night you got Mark Emert, the president of the NCIA, 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:55.920 up there for the trophy ceremony, Bill self, Kansas under investigation. 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:59.040 You got two guys who worked for Adidas who were 0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:04.359 giving money to recruits or parents of recruits at Kansas. 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.680 They're in prison. Two of the three are in prison 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.480 right now, like they wake up today and you know 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:14.720 they're going and the Kansas Jayhawks national champs and they're 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:19.960 in jail going. I'll be damned. We're in prison, Kansas 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.400 celebrating a national championship. It was just it was awkward. 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:27.600 It was also awkward when Mark emirate Uh had this 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:30.400 to say when he was on the podium with the 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:36.400 national championship.

And you tell them the reason 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.000 why when you're in commissary or a mess hall or whatever, 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.840 how stupid do you look like? Wait say that again. 0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:23.320 Those guys that are on TV right now, that's what 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:25.280 you went to prison for.

I think it was 0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.240 the Astros and the thing stopped working and the catcher 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.320 looks over the dug out. The equipment manager picks up 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:08.200 a Willisville slugger. I just watched the trash can. Chris 0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:13.520 came in lowing away extra Thank you, Jess. Old habits 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.960 die hard. Carlos Veltron, who was one of the organizers 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.839 for the cheating scandal with the Astros. Now he's a 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.080 broadcaster with the Yankees. He had this to say, I 0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:31.200 believe yesterday about that his time when he was in Houston. 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.240 Look him back now. Yes, we decrossed the line. I 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.000 made my statement about what happened in twenty seventeen, and 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.679 I apologize and it was the right thing to do. 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.359 We all did what we did. Look him back today. 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:48.680 We were wrong. I wish I would ask more questions 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:52.160 about what we were doing. Look him back now, Yes, 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.199 we DeCross the line. Who's he asking questions too? Is 0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.280 he in the mirror going why are you cheating? You 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:03.600 know you're gonna give away any opportunity to be a 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:06.800 manager in baseball. So let me get this straight. What 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.320 we're doing here is wearing these devices. It tells us 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.920 and then okay, okay, all right? Is that illegal? Carlos 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.679 goes into the clubhouse.

I love that looking 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.360 back now. At the time, it didn't dawn because this 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.600 was wrong. But looking back now, I could see where 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.559 maybe people are upset about it. Looking back now, I 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.400 could see the more they say, the worse it gets. 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.199 That's all, yes, yes, And then to say, if someone 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.360 one of them would have told us to stop, maybe 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.400 I guess we would have stopped. And now you're blaming 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:41.080 like a GM in the front office. Yes, yes they did. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:42.920 They didn't tell us to stop, So I guess that's 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.280 what we're doing. I thought it was perfectly legal. Tyler 0:12:45.360 --> 0:12:48.760 in Denver High Tyler, what's on your mind? Hey, what's 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:52.480 going on? Danny? So the problem with this whole PitchCom 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.200 thing is they're limiting the hat device with the listening 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.440 device to only five players because signs are still going 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.960 to get stolen down the line, right, So if the 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.599 center fielder or shortstop have to relay the pitch to 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.920 a teammate rite third base or right field, well they're 0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.800 just going to steal that sign now because everyone doesn't 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.840 have the listening device, so it's still going to get 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:15.680 sold somewhere in the process. Well, thank you, Toyer.

By the way, Tiger holding a press 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.520 conference at Augusta, he says, as of right now, I 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:46.640 feel like I'm going to play. He was then asked 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:48.880 if he does play, does he think he can win, 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.480 and he says, yes, I do. He says, I feel 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:55.600 fine swinging the club. The problem is walking that course. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.920 Reggie Alawisious Millard Junior the third the Hall of Fame. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.119 He'll be on the call Thursday night Lakers and the Warriors, 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.040 and Reggie is back on the program. Hi, reg how 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:09.880 are you today? Hello feet or in my lovely Dan, 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.200 It's how cool though, would it be? And then again 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:20.040 another Cinderella come from behind, comeback story. If Tiger says, 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:24.400 you know what, in the eleventh hour, okay, I'll play, 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.720 and then goes out and just stampedes the course and 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.440 the competition. I mean, how awesome would that be. It's 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.160 just amazing if he plays. I mean that that alone 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:41.040 is you know, monumental. But now it feels like he's playing. 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.440 We expect him to do well. Not It went from 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.280 maybe he can play a round, one round, now it's 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.560 now he's gonna play, He's gonna make the cut, He'll 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:52.760 be there on Sunday afternoon. Like that, We ratchet up 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:57.000 our expectations with Tiger more so than probably any other athlete. 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:01.320 And I think if you ask Tiger, he would probably 0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:04.440 want it that way, right. I mean, he's been in 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:09.520 the public eye over twenty years, obviously chasing Jack in 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.480 Grand slams. I think he would want it no other way. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:21.080 And we expect greatness from our you know, Mount Olympus 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.280 type athletes, and Tiger is on Mount Olympus in terms 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:31.680 of in today's age, first name basis worldwide appeal. Tiger 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:35.640 Woods maybe the face of all of sports. So yeah, 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.440 we would expect that. But did I hear this right? 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:45.119 In his words? Was an amputation on the table for 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:48.960 that leg? Yeah? Yeah, I think yeah, I think it was. Well, 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.240 he nearly launched his life, then he nearly lost his leg. 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:57.240 And that's fourteen months ago. And now now I look 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.880 at what Alex Smith went through with all of those surgery. 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.040 He was gonna lose his like he was quarterbacking the NFL. 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.520 Like nobody's chasing Tiger. You know, he gets to walk. 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:10.440 But you know, what Alex Smith did was remarkable as well. 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:17.560 Have you ever met Tiger? Yes? Yes, nice fella anyway, Yes, yes, 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:19.720 I met him a few times. But you're not a golfer, 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:25.639 so what did you talk about? Um, it's funny I 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:30.520 met him in Vegas, which this is this is before 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.280 kids for me, before the whole scandal with him, So 0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:38.000 it's only fitting that I would meet him in Vegas. 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:41.320 I was coming in, I was going out of a club, 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:45.919 he was coming into the club, and we crossed paths 0:18:46.000 --> 0:18:51.639 and exchanged pleasant trees. Who's more Vegas? You or Tiger? Now? No? 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:57.159 The old No, no, the old, the old you. We 0:18:57.240 --> 0:19:00.360 probably could give each other a run for money. Wow, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:05.720 but where are you a gambler? A little bit. I'm 0:19:05.760 --> 0:19:10.680 not on the Charles Barkley level, but I like to roulette, blackjack. 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.280 I like to hold onto my money. And I know 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:17.240 Vegas was built on dummies like me, so I don't 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.400 want to give them too much of it. But it's 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:23.360 fun just to kind of have fun with your with 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:26.200 your you know, with your boys sometimes can do you 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.080 think in the next five years we have an NBA 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.120 team in Vegas? Yes, I think we will have two 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:36.119 NBA teams and I'm hoping this Vegas in Seattle need 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:38.040 to get a franchise as well. I think we will 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.800 have two within the next five years. I do believe that. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.199 How dangerous do you think that will be? Everything is 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:49.240 online betting now. I think people are over it. I mean, 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:54.280 Fan Duel and all these other spots bet MGA. That's 0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:57.560 the way of the world now. So I know the 0:19:57.640 --> 0:20:00.960 league's hesitation. We've got an NFL team there. No, I 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:04.280 meant I met the nightlife redge, not the gambling. I 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:07.400 mean you you're gonna have nightlife. You have nightlife in Indiana, 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.680 you have nightlife in Milwaukee. You can have nightlife in Cleveland. Okay, 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.920 the least dangerous city at night as far as partying 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:26.120 was where while I've played. Yeah, I don't No, you're 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.280 not gonna get in too much trouble in Milwaukee. You're 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.560 not going to get in too much trouble into Utah. 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:38.120 Charles got in trouble everywhere, didn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:42.399 I mean it's how you can create your own trouble. 0:20:42.520 --> 0:20:45.679 I remember going to the underground in Salt Lake City. 0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.720 I don't know what the underground is real. It was 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:53.600 a speakeasy. We walked down an alley and you knocked 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:58.520 on this door. What And this was during the Utah Jazz, 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:03.119 Chicago Bulls, NBA fund I speak easy, Yes. In Utah. 0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:09.639 Rodman was in there. I walk in because Rodman always 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.560 thought I was Craig Sagar. He would always say, I 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.880 walk in, the place is packed packed. You would never 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:17.639 know that it existed. I walk in and all of 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:21.800 a sudden, Rodman's there, and he goes, hey Segar Segar, 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:26.719 and I go, oh, he thinks I'm Craig Segar. I said, hey, Dennis, 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:31.040 how are you? The only thing you and Says are 0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.600 closely resembled is maybe your hype. I think you guys 0:21:34.600 --> 0:21:39.160 are probably the same hype. Other than that, that's it. 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:43.600 Have you ever been out with Rodman? Yes, plenty of times, 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:47.880 like out out like yes, plenty of times in la 0:21:48.160 --> 0:21:52.520 plenty of times. And what goes on any and everything, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:59.000 everything is on the table. With him, I'm more reserved 0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:02.360 and just because I always like to know my surroundings, 0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:06.600 like who I'm dealing with. So he was not like that. 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:08.680 He would just have random people come up and that's 0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:12.640 just not me. So though I was a part of 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:16.560 his I guess entourage and posse, I kind of stayed 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:20.520 to myself because I'm more of a watcher, looker, observer 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:24.480 when I'm in these situations because you just never know 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.800 what could pop off, what could happen. So seeing him 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:32.160 and this is Dennis robbing the whole after the Madonna 0:22:32.320 --> 0:22:36.200 the Champion, it's it's it's surreal to see because I've 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:39.640 been out with him, meaning obviously I've hung out with Mike. 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.000 In situations like that, it is you see the different 0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:48.200 type of people that gravitate towards them, and it's kind 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.040 of it's cool to see, but like it kind of 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:54.200 sucks too, Like you know, I feel I have a 0:22:54.320 --> 0:22:58.680 name recognition, But people don't like flaunt to me. They 0:22:58.840 --> 0:23:02.600 plonged to MJ, they flaunted to Magic Johnson, they flaunted 0:23:02.640 --> 0:23:05.920 to Rodman. I guess they would have flaunt to Lebron Kobe, 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:09.520 but Kobe never went out. But it's just weird to 0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:13.640 see the different type of people that kind of serenade. 0:23:13.760 --> 0:23:18.440 Now you mentioned Lebron. Magic Johnson was on ESPN yesterday 0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:22.080 and he blamed Lebron for the Lakers not getting DAMARDA 0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:26.679 Rosen that they wanted to get DAMARDA Rosen who was available, 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:30.280 and Magic said he pushed for it, but Lebron wanted 0:23:30.359 --> 0:23:35.240 Russell Westbrook. Does that sound right? I think at the 0:23:35.320 --> 0:23:38.120 end of the day, your best player, your star player, 0:23:38.119 --> 0:23:40.119 and obviously, in the Lakers case, that would be Lebron. 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.320 They had to have gone to Lebron and asked him, 0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.080 here's the less the list of guys that we're thinking about. 0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:49.080 I do know on that list was Damar I know 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.960 on that list was Buddy Healed. I know on that 0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:58.159 list was Kyle Lowry. So they had options and choices, 0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:03.159 and look, if Lebron feels comfortable playing with Russell and 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:06.520 that's his choice, I have no problem with it. I'm 0:24:06.560 --> 0:24:09.840 not gonna blame him because but do you think it's 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:14.480 Lebron's decision that I think you can go that decision? 0:24:15.440 --> 0:24:19.679 But heavy input, Yes, heavy input, I would say, And 0:24:19.800 --> 0:24:23.320
