1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres in 2 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: the Bonus with Doug gottlie. 3 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:18,599 Speaker 2: What Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports RADI. Oh, welcome, welcome, Hey, 4 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 2: welcome in. How you doing. I saw an article when 5 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: I woke up today and I thought it was perfect 6 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: for something that Jay Stu and I have discussed oftentimes 7 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 2: some on air, but a lot of it is off air. 8 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 2: And so I went to Yahoo, right, just open up Yahoo, 9 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 2: and they have something called The Spun by Athlon Sports 10 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: and there's a gentleman I'm thinking by the name of 11 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: Andrew Holleran who wrote an article. The article is titled 12 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: and I understand that authors don't write headlines. I don't 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: don't know if that's the case on these type of 14 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: kind of hybrid thrown together whatever things. There's a growing 15 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 2: push for Kaitlin Clark to leave the WNBA that originally 16 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: appeared on the Spun Okay Spun, and I was thinking 17 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: to myself, Wow, I didn't know this right that there's 18 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: a real discussion there over Caitlin Clark leaving the WNBA. 19 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: What would she leave the WNBA for? And it goes 20 00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: in a little bit to who she is and how 21 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: there's a there was a kerfuffle on the court with 22 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: Marina Maybray, how she was hitting the eye by J. C. Sheldon, 23 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: it's a former rival. And then it goes into what 24 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 2: I think is the absolute positive worst thing ever in 25 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 2: the history of the media. It's one thing to aggregate 26 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 2: stories somebody else the work. You write a headline, you 27 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: write your own commentary, and then really what you do 28 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 2: is you create a link to somebody who actually did 29 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: all the work. That's one thing. But to aggregate other 30 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: people's Twitter feeds that don't matter to any fucking human 31 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: being outside of that person and creating some false narrative 32 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: is awful. That's not journalism. They don't fucking matter. And 33 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: here's what I mean in the article. One fan added, 34 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark should leave the WNBA. She should do much 35 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: better for herself. Another fan added, Kaitlin Clark should leave 36 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 2: the league join whatever league there is out there. Say 37 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: FU to the WNBA. No one cares about this league. 38 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: They only tune in to watch Caitlin Clark and they 39 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 2: will do wherever she plays. Now, look, there is a 40 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: certain like, yeah, I mean, she is the biggest straw 41 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 2: in the league. But much like Lebron, much like Jordan, 42 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 2: much like whomever Magice Johnson, Larry Bird who saved the NBA. 43 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 2: Let's not kid ourselves. You do need a league, you 44 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: do need substance and the legitimate of the WNBA. But 45 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: the point is that the only people who are suggesting 46 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 2: this are some random fan who doesn't know fucking shit 47 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 2: about shit. There's no growing movement. There's people on Twitter. Hey, 48 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: by the way, Okay, if I take Twitter or what 49 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: appears in my feed as reality, Okay, somehow over the 50 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 2: last week there's Iranian news that has gotten into, uh 51 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: into my feed? Anybody else have this? Twitter's like Iranian 52 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: slanted news. Now, I don't need to tell you just 53 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: because I'm Jewish, also because I have a brain that 54 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 2: I'm not supporting Iran in the Iran Israel conflict. But 55 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: even dumber yet is the false narratives news. And I 56 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 2: saw one where it's literally AI of a jet flying 57 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: around and you know, bullets whizzing at it, and they're like, 58 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,480 Speaker 2: there's the we have thirty five that was shot down. 59 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: It's total and complete and utter bullshit. But we have 60 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 2: to stop this. And Yahoo again and they put it 61 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: off on some athlon sports thing called the spun and 62 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: somebody pretends to be There's no growing fucking movement. The 63 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: only growing movement is that people are actually watching the 64 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: WNBA more because of Caitlin Clark, and the sport is 65 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 2: growing in leaps and blowns because of Caitlin Clark. And 66 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: is she the biggest wrong in the league. Yes, But 67 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 2: does she need a league for legitimacy? 68 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: Yes? 69 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: And now look if there was a group of WNBA 70 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: or former wn players or agents that are like, hey, look, 71 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: you know, she could just go overseas and play, but 72 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: she wouldn't be the same draw. But again, there are 73 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: leverage points there. This is more and Jason, you and 74 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 2: I have talked about it at nauseam, which is that's 75 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: not how it's done. Those people don't matter. And this 76 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: is what Elon Musk did by eliminating the verified checks. 77 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: If you don't have a check by your name back 78 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: in the day or a couple of years ago, then 79 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: your opinion doesn't matter, period stop, period stop. And I 80 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: don't know what it's going to take, what it's going 81 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 2: to take for people to for people to realize that 82 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: the spun, which purports itself as something like that reports 83 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: us something like news and really it's just aggregating other 84 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: people's Twitter handles. 85 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb 86 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox 87 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 88 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: The Fox Says and Now every did at this time 89 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 2: with The Doug Gottlieb Show. In the Bonus Podcast, to 90 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: play for you a portion of a previous show on 91 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and Fox Sports One. Uh, this is 92 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 2: Dan Patrick talk about the new Lakers ownership group. 93 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 4: You got all these different things that are going on 94 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 4: to try to prevent owners from buying a championship here. 95 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 4: And while he has the money the resources there, it'll 96 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: be different in what he does now. He could give 97 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 4: the Lakers the same edge that Golden State had. They 98 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 4: spent money. They spent their money buying a dynasty, building 99 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 4: a dynasty. But you're you're investing heavily, maybe in scouting 100 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: and analytics. You're still gonna have stars. The Lakers always 101 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 4: have stars. But this is an NBA era defined by 102 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 4: luxury taxes and second aprons, and a deep pocketed owner 103 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 4: doesn't have the same impact. But ten billion dollars for 104 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 4: the Lakers. While I was surprised at the number, I 105 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 4: was probably more surprised that they were sold. And you know, 106 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 4: with what Mark has done with the Dodgers, which has 107 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 4: been an unbelievable blueprint of we have the money, we'll spend, 108 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: we'll spend wisely. We get the right people, we get 109 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 4: our kind of player, we got our kind of manager. 110 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 4: They're going to refurbish Dodger Stadium, so they're doing all 111 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 4: the right things to build an infrastructure. And I think 112 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 4: that's the important part of this. 113 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, again, Dan's not wrong, but I do think, and 114 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 2: we started the show talking about this, we're just not 115 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: We're looking at this so much about championships and winning 116 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: and legacy and et cetera. When again, I love this 117 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: expression that kids use these days, it's not that deep. 118 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: I remember when Michael Jordan's sold sold a majority steak 119 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 2: in the Hornets. Okay, there are people who said, well, 120 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: he's doing it because he needs the money. When Mark 121 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 2: Cuban sold his steak in the Mavericks, people wonder why, 122 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 2: then you see Genie bus and I think the answer 123 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 2: is really really simple. As much as it feels like 124 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 2: the you know, the value of these franchises will never 125 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 2: go down and continue to explode. My guess is that 126 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 2: they feel like the margin between what you're spending and 127 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: what you're making is going to shrink, and now's the 128 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 2: time to cash in your chips because they see the 129 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: three hundred million dollar plus contracts coming, they see all 130 00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 2: the taxes coming, they see the cost of doing business 131 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: and how it's only going up, and they also see 132 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: the spike in the values. This is nothing other than 133 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: selling high after buying low. That that's all it is. 134 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: I mean, ask yourself, there's we again. We have tunnel 135 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: vision where like wow, you know the Lakers and this 136 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: and that, Like the Lakers, the Celtics, the Mavericks, the 137 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: Hornets have all been sold in the last year. What 138 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 2: does that tell you? That tells you that the sense 139 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 2: is from really smart business people that values are at 140 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 2: an all time high and they're probably inflated, and whether 141 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 2: or not they come down doesn't matter because right now 142 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: the cost of doing business is way higher than before 143 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: and it just doesn't make any sense when you can 144 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 2: cash in your tips. And if you're the bus family, 145 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: you know, if you net out eight billion dollars, nobody's 146 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: family's ever working again, and oh yeah, by the way, 147 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 2: you carve out a couple you know, six months a 148 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 2: year where you're still doing your thing. Is the even 149 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 2: though you're you know, it's you're the king of a 150 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: banana republic. It just that's what's really going on here. 151 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: That's what's really going on here. Here is Rob Parker 152 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 2: talking about the Browns and Stuart Sanders. 153 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 3: If I'm the Browns and I'm seeing this going on, 154 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to pull the plug on the chador Sanders. 155 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 5: He should be cut immediately. 156 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 3: I'm not serious, but I'm serious, and I want to 157 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 3: say this. Backup quarterbacks, fifth round picks should be seen, 158 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 3: not sighted. It's the worst thing you can do. 159 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,280 Speaker 5: That's not that, do you know what I mean? 160 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: You know, obviously I'm playing about being cut, but that 161 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 3: is not what you want. Because once you become a 162 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: distraction and you start doing stuff, that's when it's easier 163 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 3: for people to say, do we really want this? This 164 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 3: is not came to Cleveland. People make mistakes. I'm not 165 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 3: saying he's got to be a perfect but this is 166 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: not what you want. This is just don't make yourself 167 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: a distraction when you're not in the plans for an organization, 168 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 3: and that's all I'm saying. 169 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 5: I think, I think it's just a bad look. 170 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know again, I'm not gonna sit here and 171 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 2: tell you I haven't sped. Matter of fact, I got 172 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 2: pulled over for speeding sixty eight to fifty five. Just 173 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 2: going back to yesterday. There's one, the fact that it's excessive. 174 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 5: Two. 175 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 2: You know what happens is when you when you have 176 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 2: crazy expensive cars, crazy expensive watches, crazy expensive jewelry, you're 177 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 2: painting an image of entitlement to everyone around you. Then 178 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 2: you get pulled over speeding. So, in the grand scheme 179 00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: of things, is it a big deal? Yeah? Yeah, it's 180 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: going way too don't it's way too fast. There's no 181 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: one on earth that says on one's not accessive. If 182 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 2: you go eighty two and a fifty five, if it's 183 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: on an interstate or whatever, it's nobody there that's not crazy. 184 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: You get above ninety and everybody's like, all right, well lot, 185 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: get about one hundred. Now we're talking ridiculous. So it 186 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: tracks it. It's one of those actions more so than words, 187 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: and his actions continue to to look like somebody who's 188 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: more on the end is incident title. That's really what 189 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 2: it comes out to. Here's Colin Cowherd talking about Kaitlyn Clark. 190 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 6: There's a lot of similarities between Michael Jordan and Caitlin Clark. 191 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 6: Think about this. So both were very popular in college 192 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 6: before Michael got to the Bulls, they were awful twenty 193 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 6: seven and fifty five. First year in, he improved him 194 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 6: by eleven games. They made the playoffs. They still weren't great, 195 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 6: but he got him into the playoffs. Pre Kaitlyn Clark 196 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 6: fever awful by the end of year one, though for Michael, 197 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,559 Speaker 6: we were thinking, is this guy a top three player 198 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 6: in the league By the end of last year outside 199 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 6: of Asia Wilson, We're thinking, is Kaitlyn a top three 200 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 6: player in the league? 201 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 4: Year three? 202 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 6: Michael MVP? Year two for Caitlin, hopefully she doesn't get hurt, 203 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 6: will she be an MVP? These are very similar players. 204 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 6: Both sold a ton of merchandise. We fell in love 205 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 6: with him and knew and Michael's at North Carolina went 206 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,200 Speaker 6: in a title. Take him the shot facing Georgetown. Caitlin 207 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 6: Clark merch popularity, bad team gets him into the playoffs 208 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 6: and by the second full year of playing, are they 209 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 6: the best player in the league. They are the MVP 210 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 6: of the league. 211 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 2: Well, there's more to it than just that, right, There's 212 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 2: the fact that people try to rough up Jordan early 213 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: in his career, much the way they're trying to rough 214 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 2: her up. There was the fact that Jordan was frozen 215 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 2: out in his first All Star Game appearance, led by 216 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 2: Isaiah Thomas, which is what began kind of the war 217 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 2: between those two. So yeah, I mean, it was such 218 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 2: a good analogy that I used yesterday. Great minds think alike, 219 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: and I think Collins think of the same thing as 220 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 2: as I'm thinking, which is, Yeah, there's a there's a 221 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 2: certain jordan esque quality to Caitlyn Clark, even if you 222 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 2: know she's not yet the best player in the league. 223 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 2: She's the most known player in the league, and she 224 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: continues to improve much the way that Michael Jordan went 225 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: from you know, great rookie year, then he got hurt, 226 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 2: then thirty seven a game in his third year. That's 227 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 2: what the Fox said say. 228 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb 229 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox 230 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 231 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: Let's find out who are what is annoying, Jason Stewart. 232 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 5: And now it's your annoying, Hey, Doug, Something's been annoying 233 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 5: me since it broke yesterday. So the last part of 234 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 5: our radio show yesterday was spent on the breaking news 235 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 5: that the Wakers are selling. There's more details we talked 236 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 5: about on the radio show today, and I the more 237 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 5: I thought about it, the more I thought a part 238 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 5: of me died with that news. It's like a part 239 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 5: of my nostalgia died. The Lakers are better off today 240 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: than they were yesterday. The Lakers are going to be 241 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 5: in better shape, the bank accounts of each of the 242 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 5: bus children are going to be uh generationally healthy. But 243 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 5: there was something that died, and that was the Jerry 244 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 5: Buss Lakers. I grew up. One of the first teams 245 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 5: I started to follow after the Dodgers was the Lakers. 246 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 5: Chick hern was the soundtrack of my childhood. Sure, Jeff 247 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 5: Pearlman's Showtime was a great read about and then they 248 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 5: made the TV series about it. In other words, Jerry Buss, 249 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 5: his life has been very well documented. But it's annoying 250 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 5: to me that I think Jerry Buss's legacy came to 251 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: an endpoint yesterday, which kind of makes me sad to 252 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 5: be honest. 253 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, M again, I just I understand what you're saying. 254 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: I also think that he got a little he got 255 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: some credit for some of the stuff Jack knk Cook 256 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: did right because Jack cank Cook was though there was 257 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 2: a bunch of negative with the end of his ownership. 258 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: Jack Kenkulk kind of laid the foundation for then Jerry 259 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: Buss and like Jerry Bust wasn't perfect. You know, he 260 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: obviously partied with Magic Johnson and there was a lot 261 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 2: of weirdness to eighties though they were successful in LA 262 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 2: or whatever. But I get it. Yeah, showtime Laker's officially done. 263 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 2: And it's there's a certain Tommy Boy element to it 264 00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: as well, right where you can, no matter how much 265 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: you want your kids to go and succeed, and take 266 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 2: the family business and take it to a high level. 267 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: And there are some things, you know, spectrum, spectrum sports, 268 00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 2: some of the other things they were able to do, 269 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 2: but they were sadly left behind because they were just 270 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 2: a family owned business. It was the main business. It 271 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 2: wasn't like there was Cherry Buss Enterprises and then the 272 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: Lakers were part of it, like the new owner, he's 273 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 2: made all his money in finance, He's got investments ten 274 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 2: times over. And this is I mean, this is obviously 275 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 2: going to be a huge part of his empire, but 276 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,479 Speaker 2: again just part of his empire. And so because of it, 277 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 2: they kind of got priced out of trying to put 278 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 2: together a real club. And they've always been a very 279 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 2: bizarre shop in that they've been successful despite the fact 280 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: they haven't spent on anything other than the players. Even 281 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: the coaches have been wildly underpaid. And I would guess 282 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 2: those days are coming to an end. So I understand 283 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: what you're saying, but I would also tell you that 284 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 2: if the Celtics can be sold twice here in the 285 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 2: last fifteen years, there's no reason that the Lakers can't 286 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 2: be sold. And again, to me, the bigger story is 287 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 2: that if the Lakers, the Celtics, the Mavericks, and the 288 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 2: Hornets have all been sold here in the last calendar year, 289 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 2: it tells you that smart people think it's time to 290 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 2: cash out because either the cost of doing business is 291 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: too high or the increase in their values is going 292 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 2: to come to a crashing halt. 293 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 5: The other team that Mark Walter, Mark Walter am I 294 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 5: saying that right Sure, that didn't come off my tongue 295 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 5: right owns in the market of the Dodgers, you wanted 296 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 5: to say, Mark Wahlberg. They did something very disappointing yesterday 297 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 5: and I'm annoyed by it. I've been talking about this 298 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 5: on this podcast this week and on the air. The Dodgers, 299 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 5: throughout the entire ice protests remains silent, much to the 300 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 5: chagrin of this small minority of people that are very lowed. 301 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 5: They may remain silent. They're not going to take a stand. 302 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 5: They're not going to alienate any of their fan base. 303 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,719 Speaker 5: Jack Harris of the La Times announced this yesterday. Tomorrow 304 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 5: they will announce their plans for assistance to immigrant communities 305 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 5: impacted by their recent events in Los Angeles. Have no 306 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 5: idea what that means. Dylan Hernandez, a columnists for The Times. 307 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 5: I still have to wait to see what this entails. 308 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 5: But good on the fans who spoke up an important 309 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 5: reminder that if you stop giving teams your money or 310 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 5: even threatened to, they will listen. Uh, that's complete bullshit. 311 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,199 Speaker 5: And I'm I'm and I'm really sad and by the 312 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 5: fact that the Dodgers are giving into this. They have 313 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 5: been bullied or guilt tripped into taking a side, which 314 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 5: is just not good business and I just hate to 315 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 5: see it. 316 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I think you're right, But again I would 317 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: I would also say, like like it's hard because there 318 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: is there does come a point to where no matter 319 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: how much you want to stay out of it, like 320 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 2: like America and World War two, eventually you're gonna get 321 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 2: brought in where you got to pick a side. And 322 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 2: I do think that the Dodgers, because such a huge 323 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 2: percentage of their fan base is Latino, I don't think 324 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 2: they really had much of a choice here other than 325 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 2: to stay out of the fray as long as they 326 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 2: could stay out of the fray. So you're not wrong 327 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: because the Dodgers, again, I actually think they wanted to 328 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: stay out of it, but you know, much like the mafia, 329 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 2: they kept get getting brought back in. 330 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 5: Over the last twenty four hours, two people who have 331 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 5: been caught for speeding over one hundred miles an hour. 332 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 5: Shadu Or Sanders was caught for speeding in Ohio and 333 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 5: a Dodge truck Zach Edy caught going one hundred miles 334 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 5: an hour in a Kia. This is what's annoying. If 335 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 5: you're going to be caught speeding, it better be in 336 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 5: a Ferrari, it better be and a American muscle car. 337 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 5: Don't be caught speeding in a Kia. That little detail 338 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 5: of the story made Zachi d look much less cool. 339 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 5: I think that's awesome way it is, soul turbo. It 340 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 5: was badass. I think could rip. 341 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, uh, I'm look, I said, there's I 342 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 2: It's just a great punchline. It's no matter how that 343 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: And that's kind of the problem with Kia, right, It's 344 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 2: just like the Memphis Grizzlies, you know, and now the 345 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 2: city of Memphis and Steven A. 346 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: Smith. 347 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: No matter how much better Memphis is than it used 348 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 2: to be, Memphis earned the reputation is one of the 349 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,479 Speaker 2: murder capitals of the country, and so it's very it's 350 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,239 Speaker 2: very easy to make Memphis a punchline, no matter how 351 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: much better kias are. Now there's some really nice kias. 352 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: The fact is that the second you drop that line, 353 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 2: I thought it was funny. And again I got a car. 354 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 3: Guy. 355 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of really nice kias, but 356 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:01,479 Speaker 2: I did think it was funny. 357 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 5: Lakers, Dodgers or Kia. 358 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: Lakers, Dodgers, or speeding tickets with mid cars. Uh, I'm 359 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 2: gonna say Lakers. And here's why it's annoying that everybody 360 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: does in fact have a price, right, that's the Lakers. 361 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: To me, there had to be a world in which 362 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: you sell a minority stake and you keep control. If 363 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 2: it's about money, that's what you do. And I understand 364 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 2: the cost of doing business is absorb it. But you 365 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 2: can't take loans based upon the value of the franchise 366 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 2: and ten billion dollars. It's not hard to take a loan, 367 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 2: but it does. Everybody has a price, and it's annoying. 368 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: Why are we doing this because we can? 369 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 5: Hey Doug Yes, Nick Young former basketball player suckers.
