Speaker 2: with whatever the hell you called that? From a basketball

5
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: game standpoint last night in Alama City, thunder.

6
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 3: Well, that's a rap, that's a rap.

7
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 4: Yep.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 5: It felt like, I mean, just watching the first quarter,

9
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 5: you were like, oh, okay, this is just two teams

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 5: that are very far apart with where they're at the

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 5: series right now. I mean, okay, see, looks like they're

12
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 5: gonna win a championship. And Minnesota was I don't know,

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 5: I mean like running out of gas on the way

14
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 5: of the finish line?

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 3: Is that the best way to put it? Yeah?

16
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: And it seemed like they don't, I don't want to

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: say conceded before the game, But a few minutes into

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: the game, we're like, yeah, whatever, maybe next year, Yeah,

19
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: maybe next time.

20
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 4: I felt the same way when we had Big Cat

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 4: last year. What why am I looking around feeling the

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 4: same exact way this year.

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 6: I turned the sound off. First quarter, I turned the

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 6: sound off, I turned it was on. I was watching,

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 6: but I gotta say I wasn't watching from a true

26
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 6: like stay focused in and dowbed in type of perspective,

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 6: it just it was kind of boring. I ain't gonna lie.

28
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 6: I got graduation today, so I had a lot going on.

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 6: But that's really all I had the offer for this,

30
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 6: other than to say I watched, and then it started

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 6: off as Okay, watch see what's going to happen.

32
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 4: Are Timberwolves going to fight? No, they're not.

33
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 6: Defens is just too overwhelming for them that the shots

34
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 6: selections are are poor. They can't get any space they

35
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 6: So once I saw the same thing playing out in

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 6: this game that has played out literally outside of the

37
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 6: one win that they got in the series, I just

38
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 6: kind of dowed out.

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 7: Man.

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 6: So sorry to all the listeners out there, I'm just

41
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 6: being honest with you.

42
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: I kept checking.

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 6: I was watching casually, not studying it, just watching it,

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 6: and as I saw the score kind of be what

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 6: it was going to be, then you just checked to

46
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 6: see are they catching up?

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll dial back in. They're not catching up, So

48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 4: just left it at.

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: I swear to God, and like I'm being one hundred

50
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 2: percent honest. I checked the score and was like, oh,

51
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: they're making a game out of this and it was

52
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: seventy eight.

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: To fifty four.

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 2: That is how bad the first half win. I checked in,

55
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, they're only down twenty four. Hey,

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 2: they got a shot, they could close that gap. Oh

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: my god, man, they're making a run here. It was

58
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 2: just a complete chill acting. They got annihilated. And so look,

59
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: at least, you know, if you're gonna, you know, end

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: your season, you know, get it over with quickly and

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: just go ahead and move on to whatever next year

62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: is going to look like. But SGA, shake Gilders, Alexander,

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: is your Western Conference Finals, mbcourse, it was your regular

64
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: season MVP. He spoke about why he wanted to get

65
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,679
Speaker 2: it done in front of the home crowd there last night.

66
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 8: Two things I wanted. I didn't want to go back

67
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 8: to Minnesota. Travel was and then I wanted the fans

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 8: to be able to enjoy enjoy the moment with us.

69
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 8: I wanted them to be able to see it unfold

70
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 8: in front of their eyes. I want them to be

71
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 8: able to celebrate tonight in our building, go home, get drunk,

72
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 8: whatever they do. I want them to have fun with

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 8: the moment. And yeah, it was, it was, It was good.

74
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 8: I just wanted to make sure that, like above all,

75
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 8: I could give my energy and my effort to try

76
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 8: to get these fans what they deserve.

77
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: So hoping fans go out there and get banged up

78
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma City. Probably a rough day for Seattle super

79
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Sonics fan. And though you know they gave them away, huh,

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: you know, I don't.

81
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: I don't think they're.

82
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 5: Probably that still lingers a Western Conference Finals championship.

83
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: Still, yeah, I don't think they like how that ended.

84
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: They loved their basketball team and they felt like they

85
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: were wronged by the owner.

86
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: I don't doubt that. I just think it's it's been

87
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 5: a period of time now. I think I think some

88
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 5: people have moved on.

89
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I got sources in and around

90
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: the Seattle area. You know people, I don't think they've moved.

91
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 5: That was ironically watching, uh the intro I don't know

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 5: why the intro videos of the nineteen ninety six Chicago

93

00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,680

Speaker 4: Is where it gets.

111
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 5: This is where it gets intense, because you cant filled,

112
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 5: the crowd starting to build you and now the University

113

Speaker 7: Michael Jordan.

116
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 5: There's nothing that gives you chills when you hear that,

117
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 5: because hey, I remember watching that.

118
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: Well done.

119
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 5: Rooting for the Seattle SuperSonics so passionately.

120
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 4: They did have a team. They had a team of

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: Sean kem Yeah, how about it.

122
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 5: But but but it was only because the bulls always

123
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 5: took out the calves at one point.

124
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 3: So that was the only reason I started rooting for

125
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 3: the SuperSonics.

126
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 5: But I don't I forget I think my wife was

127
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 5: I don't know she needed like floor music for like

128
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: gymnastics or something, and that was.

129
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 4: What she used.

130
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 5: I was like, if y'all use this as the warm

131
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 5: up music, that would be a statement, I said. The

132
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 5: only problem is those young ladies probably.

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 7: Have no idea what that music means.

134
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you'd be walking out of versus other countries.

135
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 5: Like, yeah, you guys don't know, but this is like

136
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 5: this is like it's already a plus over before it

137
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: even started.

138
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: Plus they were really ahead of their time too, because

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 2: they would zone in, like zoom in on the big

140
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 2: screen at the arena. Oh yeah, it would show the

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: bowling with the smoke coming out of his nose.

142
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: It wasn't a logo. It was the bull. It was

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 4: a bull.

144
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 6: Ran through the city, ran through the city all the

145
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 6: way to where the arena was.

146
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

147
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 4: That was pretty sweet.

148
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 6: Like he's looking around like I'm f you up, like

149
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 6: running around looking I'm gonna have you up too, Like

150
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 6: he's running.

151
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: Around, he's running around. I mean, look at it now.

152
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: I mean he's better than some of those bull videos you've.

153
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 4: Said us far on Instagram. You know, there're nuts.

154
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 6: For some reason, I had this weird effect infatuation with

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: bull nuts. Gotta have big nuts these days, man.

156
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, now, uh you bag that bull bag.

157
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 7: Now.

158
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: On the Timberwlf side of things, Anthony Edwards uh did

159

00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 10: Nobody's gonna work harder than me this summer, I'll tell

162
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 10: you that much. So yeah, I'll try. I'll try to

163
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 10: make it happen again for Mike. They came ready to play.

164
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: We didn't.

165
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 10: When you lose a game like this, it's not really

166
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 10: too much to break down. They just did what they

167
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 10: were supposed to do in one a game. They dominated

168
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 10: the game from a tip came donumber tip my head

169
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 10: of those guys. They came ready, man, so put job

170
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,119
Speaker 10: by them.

171
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: There's also this, Uh, I'm calling my shot right now

172
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: because I know how this works, and I'm telling you

173
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: this is how this is going to go. Anthony Edwards

174
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: is going to get buried by some people in the

175
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: media because he was asked about whether or not he

176
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 2: was hurt with the result and coming up short again

177
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference finals and had this to say.

178
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 4: It's exciting.

179
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

180
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 4: I don't know why people would think it will hurt.

181
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 4: I mean it's exciting for me. I'm twenty three. I

182
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 4: get to do it a whole bunch of times. I'm

183
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 4: hurt more so for myself, for Mike.

184
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 8: I came up short.

185
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: For Mike.

186
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 10: Like I said, we tried last year, we couldn't get it.

187
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 4: We tried this year. I'm gonna try again next year.

188
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: But harden is a terrible word to use.

189
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 8: I'm good.

190
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 9: So Michael Conley, Yeah, Mike Conley, yea.

191
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 4: Make sure we're clear. Not big Mike Big, not the

192
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: Mike Yeah, not Mike Mike Yeah.

193
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 9: Like, I mean, you know, it is true.

194
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: I mean he's you know, he's young, and uh, you know,

195
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: he probably is at the point to where he just

196
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: assumes this is gonna happen every year. Maybe there's a

197
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: veteran there with the polem aside and say, well, you know,

198
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 2: probably not, but they weren't gonna they weren't gonna beat

199
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City has been the best team.

200
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 4: Wired to wire the entire year.

201
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: And I just think he probably realizes that, recognizes that,

202
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,839
Speaker 2: and just says, oh, whatever, I'll I'll figure it out

203
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: and work harder to be back next year. I think

204
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: he's just brutally honest and as opposed to putting on

205
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: this song and dance and say yeah, you know, I'm

206
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 2: devastated and you know, got to be better, got to

207
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 2: be this and that, and just sort of sulking about

208
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: the whole thing, said, hey, is what it is. You know, well,

209
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: happy with the you know, with the progress we made, bombed.

210
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 2: I didn't do it for Mike Conley and we'll be

211
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 2: back next year. That response didn't sound emotional for a reason.

212
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 2: I think that's what we touched on.

213
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 5: Like it was probably already over before the game started yesterday.

214
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: I mean it felt that way. So I mean he

215
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: probably reconciled with you know, this series is.

216
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: Not going to go our way, and I now know

217
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: like the gap.

218
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: Between where this team's at and where we're at and

219
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: maybe where I need to get to personally, and so

220
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: the emotion was probably done like I imagine, you know,

221
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: after you know, game four or at some point in

222
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 5: the series, the reality it's set in. And that's one

223
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 5: of the differences between I think, you know, having a

224
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: best of seven series versus a single Elimation sudden death game.

225
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: You could say whatever you want about, you know, the

226
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 5: differences between two teams when it's just a one game,

227
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 5: sudden death game. But you always felt like even as

228
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 5: the worst, even trust me, I played on many teams

229
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: when we were the underdog, you still felt like you

230
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 5: had a chance and if you gave them, they gave

231
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 5: them your best and you may maybe didn't catch them

232
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 5: on their best day, there was an opportunity to be had.

233
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 5: In the Best the Seventh series, it's like eventually the

234
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 5: better team usually wins, unless there's an injury or something

235
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: to one of the star players, they usually win. And

236
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 5: that's where it was very clear evident that OKAC was

237
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: a better team. And maybe it was just stating a

238
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 5: bad matchup too, you know, as we talked about earlier

239
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 5: this week, like maybe who knows what the Lakers will

240
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 5: look like first? Okay, see, I personally don't think they

241
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 5: would have done any better. But I look at that

242
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 5: and say, I think that's where that came from. Where

243
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 5: it's different for players who are coming off that one

244
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 5: game scenario. I think there's more emotion, that's more hurt

245
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 5: that come along with it. But this it was like, well,

246
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 5: we've already kind of moved on to our brain, like

247
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 5: I'm already preparing to try to get back to this

248
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 5: point and be better next year.

249
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: So it was such a beating that he had already

250
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 2: gone through the entire grieving process, and that was probably Brady.

251
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 6: You were having conversation with hockey people yesterday. I could

252
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 6: tell I detected a sense of Canadian accent in your voice.

253
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 6: Just now you're not gay Canadian? Yeah, maybe you were

254
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 6: ashgad yesterday.

255
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 5: The funniest thing about hockey folks, this is one thing

256
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: like I never and I think I told you this

257
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 5: before talking to my brother in law, is like when

258
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 5: when he was in like a certain series, they'd be

259
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 5: down like.

260
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 4: Two oh, and he just go, ah, long serious.

261
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 5: I'm like, I mean the hell, it's not like like

262
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 5: this is a head two more games to figure this out.

263
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 5: But he would he always had a sense of patience.

264
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: Then they'd be down like three oh, and I'm like,

265
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 5: are we panicking yet? Like I'm panicking? Are you panicking?

266
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: And he'd be like, oh no, long series, long serious.

267
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: I'm like, what do you be?

268
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: Long serious?

269
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 7: Game?

270
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,199
Speaker 5: I almost wanted to call him after like the second

271
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 5: period when they're down and be like, all right, you

272
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 5: have one period left. Is anyone panicking? Is there any

273
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 5: sense of urgency at all in that locker room. Oh no, no,

274
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: long period. I'm like, okay, all right.

275
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,599
Speaker 6: They're long, they're wired differently, man, Yeah, definitely.

276
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 4: Well they're completely different and congratulate.

277
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 6: Okay, see, man, I think it's a I don't know,

278
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 6: it's a foregone conclusion. It's going to be the Pacers

279
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 6: and okay see and then in the finals. So it'd

280
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 6: be interesting to see if they can get it wrapped

281
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 6: up tonight and we go ahead and get into the

282
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 6: final final series of the NBA season.

283
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's get it done.

284
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: Like, let's just go I mean, the finals aren't starting

285
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: for the uh, you know until I believe Labor Day anyway,

286
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: So let's just you know, let's get this over with

287
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: and we can focus on some other stuff that matters.

288
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 6: I will say though, this is a very very very

289
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 6: closely mirror image matched team teams and the fact that

290
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 6: they play fast with great pace, They're they're deep on

291
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 6: their on their benches, they play crazy, crazy good defense.

292
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 6: They have one score that is like a real score.

293
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 6: Then they have you know, the next guy you know

294
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 6: that can make big plays for them and create create

295
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 6: offense for them. I mean, they're very evenly matched, and

296
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 6: I'm saying as if it's already done with the Knicks

297
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 6: and the Pacers. I believe it is. So I think

298
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 6: it's it's going to be. It might not be the

299
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 6: most sensational in terms of names and markets going into

300
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 6: the Championship round, but I think it begs the question.

301
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 6: And I know we're up on break, but I think

302
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: it does bag the question of if this is indeed

303
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 6: the future of what you have going on in the NBA,

304
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 6: how do you maximize the exposure or how do you

305
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 6: maximize the excitement if these are going to be your

306
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 6: markets moving forward? It's very possible Indiana could continue to

307
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 6: run the table with the talent that they have for

308
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 6: the next few years. Saying goes for Okac. It seems

309
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 6: as though that they will be able to run the

310
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 6: table for the next few years. So how does the

311
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 6: NBA how do they leverage that?

312
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Ben also a tip of the cap to Okay. See,

313
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: they were in the lottery a couple of years ago.

314
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 2: They won twenty four games I think three years ago.

315
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: They've just systematically built the best team in basketball we played.

316
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,080

324
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,640

353
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: lost a ton of weight. Uh, some people have taken

354
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: notice to him in the off season.

355
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,040

Speaker 5: Though, Lebron, it sounds like he's going to pick up

406

Speaker 5: or sign his option with the Lakers for twenty six.

407
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: You had to be excited about that when you saw

00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: that news, right.

409
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, just another couple of years getting nailed by the king.

410
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 7: You know, you ever see that movie Sleeping with the

411
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 7: Enemy with Julia Roberts.

412
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a long time.

413
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 7: Oh it's pretty good. Sleeping with the Enemy where her

414
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 7: husband's like the worst guy ever, and she's fake her

415
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 7: own death to get away from him. But he finds

416
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 7: her because instead of throwing the wedding ring away, she

417
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 7: threw it down the sink, and he went into the

418
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 7: sink and found the ring. He knew she was still

419
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 7: alive and she didn't drown. He finds her and before

420
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 7: she uh, before she kills him, she has him at gunpoint.

421
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 7: She calls the cops and says, I just shot an intruder.

422
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 7: He's like what, and then blah blah blah blah. That's

423
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 7: what it feels like, getting nailed by the king for

424
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 7: another couple of years. But at least we'll have something

425
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 7: to talk about. What about the Japanese guys? Yeah, guys

426
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 7: there on the Dodgers pretty good.

427
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 6: How do you feel about the Dodgers right now? Man,

428
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 6: They're they're looking pretty good.

429
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: Huh.

430
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 7: I guess they have something well. They they have some

431
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 7: injury issues as far as their their pitching goes. They

432
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 7: have guys that don't go very long in the games.

433
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 7: They're starting pitching, but that's uh, but that's kind of

434
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 7: rectified itself. They've had a couple of long stamping stamina performances.

435
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 7: You know that good Royal honey type performance from from Dust.

436
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Dust and Man.

437
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 7: I think went five innings last night, which is the

438
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 7: equivalent of pitching like eighteen innings now and uh and

439
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 7: the guy before that, Yamamoto had a great out at

440
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 7: the other day. Yamamoto might win the cy young He's

441
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 7: he's really pitching great. He's got a devastating splitter that

442
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 7: people don't know what to do with. And there's a

443
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 7: new Yamamoto song. I'm not asking you to find it

444
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 7: right now, though you probably could. There's a new Yamamoto

445
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 7: song that has gone viral. It's like Yoshi noboo, Yama

446
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 7: Moto ma ma, and it just goes on all right.

447
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 7: It's a it's a it's it's from Reddit, and that

448
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 7: is now going viral because you know, I mean, it's

449
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 7: kind of hard. You know, you can be the greatest, uh,

450
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 7: you could be John Taylor, one of the greatest wide

451
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 7: receivers around, but when Jerry Rice is on the other

452
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 7: side of the field for the forty nine ers, it's

453
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 7: kind of hard to get some attention. And it's a

454
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 7: little bit like that for Yamamoto with Otani. I mean

455
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 7: OTAWNI I think just said his twentieth home run last night.

456
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 7: He's on Pace there it is.

457
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 9: Man yo she no.

458
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 6: Denim.

459
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, man yo sin no denim.

460
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 9: You see?

461
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: Is that like his walk up music?

462
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 7: I wish it was.

463
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 4: That's kind of hard if it is his walk up.

464
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: His walk up is more like a techno vibe.

465
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 6: But man, that's almost like Godzilla like like dang, that's

466
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 6: kind of dope if you have very.

467
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 7: Look, Japanese culture is very excited. You know, they've got

468
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 7: a lot going on and uh, and they have a

469
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 7: they have a great Korean guy too that they called

Speaker 7: runs really well and inject some excitement and it's really

472
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: likable guy. He's not Japanese but he's Korean.

473
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 2: M hm, so u Petros. Now that we, uh, let's

474
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 2: get into it here. Where does the.

475
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 7: Like I don't know what if? What's there really to say?

476
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 9: Well, I wanted to ask you this because you know,

477
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 9: this time, I don't.

478
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 7: Want to go back and forth with Colin Cowherd.

479
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: I feel stupid listen and that that's not I'm more

480
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 2: looking at it from big picture because you are one

481
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 2: to voice your frustration when it comes to USC and

482
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: where the program is at as opposed to the program

483
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 2: you grew up with, the program that you were part of,

484
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: that you played with, that your family was a part of.

485
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 7: They were terrible when I played there.

486
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there was still an element of pride and

487
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: tradition attached to the program. So when you see the

488
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: stuff that's gone on with then unwilling to potentially want

489
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 2: to continue the rivalry with Notre Dame for various reasons.

490
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: Where does this rank among most frustrated you've been with

491
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: your alma mater in comparison to some of the other

492
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: instances and other issues that have popped up over the

493
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 2: previous years.

494
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I'm a radio TV guy, but let's

495
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 7: just say I know where a lot of bodies are buried.

496
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 7: So there's some other things that we never talk about.

497
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 7: But at the same time, I mean, you know, lack

498
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 7: of institutional control and stuff like that. But no, I mean,

499
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 7: there's there's arrogant Lane Kiffin. There's drunken, out of control

500
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 7: Steve Sarkisian. There's clueless and corrupt Pat Hayden and Lynn Swan.

501
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 7: There's the Varsity Blues.

502
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: I remember Pat Hayden, he was calling the Notre name

503
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 3: games back in the day.

504
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 7: He used to be a Notre Dame announcer, former USC

505
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 7: football hero, and then he exposed himself and had to

506
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 7: go underground after being the US athletic director who really

507
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 7: basically helped Foster in the Varsity Blues scandal. I mean

508
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 7: there's a lot of meat on the bone, is what

509
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 7: I'm trying to say. I mean Mike bone Let alone

510
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 7: a guy that had to remove and of course there's

511
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 7: off sports stuff at USC with the terrible cover up

512
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 7: with the doctor that was molesting people for years and years,

513
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 7: and just a lot of bad stuff that's happened at

514
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 7: USC because USC is a very very very wealthy, very

515
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 7: connected private university, and it seemed like in the twenty

516
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 7: first century they really lost their way. This on the

517
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 7: other hand, I mean as an institution we're talking about,

518
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 7: and it's a gigantic institution. USSE is not like Sierra

519
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 7: Canyon that has one thousand, one hundred kids. It's a

520
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 7: massive university. It's like thirty five thousand people graduate and

521
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:25,439
Speaker 7: undergrad maybe more so. It's it's a big place and

522
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 7: there's a lot going on. So I don't want to

523
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 7: catastrophize this controversy or whatever, but nothing I think has

524
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 7: been more definitive about who's in charge of SC, what's

525
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 7: wrong with SC. A sign of the times at SC

526
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 7: that SE is no longer relevant, has a football program

527
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 7: year in and year out, that USC has lost there,

528
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 7: that USC is impotent. It's a program now now that

529
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 7: the now that the ocean has turned to yoga, and

530
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 7: I've lost my spoon one of my favorite sayings, they

531
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 7: have totally they have totally lost their identity if they're

532
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 7: considering this or how they're considering it, and the way

533
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 7: they're considering it and who they're allowing to make their decisions.

534
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: So overall, I think for me, it's a really frustrating thing.

535
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 7: I can't say it's the most frustrated I've ever been,

536
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 7: because there's really been terrible things that have happened that

537
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 7: have been illegal, you know, stuff, stuff that's not defensible. This,

538
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 7: on the other hand, is a head coach who quite

539
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 7: literally would be fired. He would have been fired if

540
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 7: his buyout, or would be fired and still probably will

541
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 7: be fired if his buyout was not so gigantic. And

542
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 7: the fact that they are letting that guy try to

543
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 7: manipulate or say something or dictate one hundred plus year

544
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 7: old rivalry that, as I've said on the show many times,

545
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 7: transcends World Wars, transcends the transfer portal, transform, transcends the NIL,

546
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 7: transcends conference realignment, any of that stuff. We still have

547
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 7: USC Notre Dame and the fact that Lincoln Riley, who

548
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 7: probably should not even be there. He shouldn't he shouldn't

549
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 7: be the coach there right now based on his performance,

550
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 7: what the place is. It's just the buyout is so

551
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 7: big that guy gets to pull the plug on this rivalry.

552
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 7: That guy gets to say that USC players don't get

553
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 7: to take the field at Notre Dame or play Notre

554
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 7: Dame at home in November. It's not right. It's so

555
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 7: far from being right that I can't believe anybody would

556
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 7: argue for it. And all these people talking about modern

557
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 7: football and things change and this is what we need

558
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 7: and all that, and my I mean, USC is not competing.

559
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 7: It's not like USC is going to play in the

560
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 7: playoffs if they just didn't have that testy Notre Dame

561
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 7: game on their schedule. I mean, they can't beat Minnesota,

562
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 7: they can't beat Maryland, and I got to be honest

563
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 7: with you, if Notre Dame's on your schedule, win or lose,

564
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 7: it's going to help you a lot more when you're

565
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 7: in the Big Ten with the new expanded playoff rules

566
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 7: than it does scheduling Georgia State or Missouri State. Who's

567
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 7: on the schedule here in twenty twenty five, All of that,

568
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 7: all of that, it's just so sad and disappointing that

569
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 7: these very wealthy country club set type people who have

570
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 7: never looked through a face mask at USC, never done

571
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 7: anything there, never had any real connection with the place,

572
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 7: want to take the opportunity to play at the cradle

573
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 7: of college football in one of the most in the

574
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 7: most program in the history of the sport, in their

575
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 7: stadium every other year. You're going to take that away

576
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 7: from a whole generation or even consider taking that away

577
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 7: from a whole generation of USC football players because your

578
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 7: coach is scared to compete. It's the saddest and most

579
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 7: it's it's really the most egregious thing I've ever heard

580
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 7: anybody ever consider. When it comes I'd rather have a

581
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 7: drunk coach, honestly. I mean, it's it's it's it's truly

582
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 7: It's truly an insult to anybody who ever played the

583
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 7: sport at USC that this would be considered. And and

584
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 7: the fact that USC says anything about it. I know, Brady,

585
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'll be done in a second.

586
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 3: You're good, You're good.

587
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 7: The fact that USC says anything about it other than yes,

588
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 7: we'd love to play the rivalry for the next thousand years.

589
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 7: The fact that anybody other than Jen Cohen, the USC

590
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 7: Athletic director, has made any kind of statement about this,

591
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 7: the head coach who should be fired, or some weird

592
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 7: assistant athletic director open his freaking mouth about it. The

593
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 7: only person I want to hear from is the USC

594
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 7: Athletic director or the president of the school. And that

595
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 7: person needs to say we are going to play this

596
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 7: for the rest of our lives and for everybody else's

597
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 7: lives forward. And that is that. We don't want to

598
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 7: hear anything else about. Why is it even being discussed

599
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 7: because Lincoln Riley, who's not good enough to be the

600
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 7: head coach there anymore? Anyway, if you really think they're

601
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 7: they're they're they're good and have a chance to compete.

602
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 7: Because Lincoln Riley is too soft to to commit to

603
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 7: a rivalry that everybody else that's ever coached there has

604
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 7: committed to. It's an absolute travesty and it makes me

605
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 7: sick to my stomach to even discuss it. Thank you.

606
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 5: It is interesting when you bring up the history and

607
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 5: when you initially saw some of your statements, petros I

608
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 5: was thinking about just looking back on how this rivalry

609
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 5: has sustained through World Wars, when you take into account

610
00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 5: what it took for the teams to get across the

611
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:13,479
Speaker 5: country they want to train, like like, I hear this

612
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 5: argument by a lot of USC people, in particular on

613
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 5: social media.

614
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 3: Who try to defend the fact that well, Notre Dame's

615
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: not well.

616
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 5: They've never been at a conference, so this existed well, and

617
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 5: again that's like you.

618
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 7: Have that's like, why should they be I mean, honestly,

619
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 7: it's like saying, well, you have this seven hundred room mansion,

620
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 7: why don't you move into this crappy apartment building? And

621
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 7: Marina del Rey with the rest of us, I mean,

622
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 7: why why they don't they have their own deal with it? Right?

623
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: Well, and then, and by the way, it's always been

624
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: that way, So it's kind of odd.

625
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 5: That now you try to use that as justification because

626
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 5: of the sage.

627
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 7: Thing they use is justification asm. It makes me it's laughable.

628
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,200
Speaker 5: I unders think about the train ride, the train ride

629
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 5: back in the day, right, like they're going for days

630
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 5: across the country back and forth to play one another,

631
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 5: and nowadays they're like, well we fly six thousand more

632
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 5: miles a year. It's like, all right, let's just look

633
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 5: back at the history here and look at how this

634
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 5: rivalry was played out. Teams try and again, I'm not

635
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 5: trying to say that, you know, we've come a long

636
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 5: way since then, but it's sustained through that, right. It

637
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 5: lasted through snowstorms, through whatever else they had to endure

638
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 5: to get to one another to play.

639
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: So it has a bit odd.

640
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 5: I do want you to play Devil's Advocate though, because

641
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 5: one of the things is I think it's on us

642
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 5: to say, okay, we's se did make a decision that

643
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 5: was for their best interest right to get paid handsomely

644
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: through the TV Metia rite.

645
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 7: Steal, and still have the feeling about it that they

646
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 7: had to do that. I mean, and it's because the

647
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 7: PAC ten for sure, twelve or so for sure.

648
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 5: So let's just look at it from Devil's advocate, because

649
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 5: there hasn't been an agreement. And and look, I'll say this,

650
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 5: I spoke to Gen Cohen last week. So what I

651
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 5: do know is that what's being floated or out about

652
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 5: this twenty year agreement whatever else, there's not a lot

653
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 5: of truth of that. There's been, you know, an idea

654
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 5: to extend for another year, and there's the thought that

655
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 5: Southern Cow would like to play at week.

656
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: Zero week one at the beginning of the season. So

657
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 3: that's a travesty.

658
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,319
Speaker 5: But but and look, I'm not going to disagree with you.

659
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 5: But everyone feels like I'm biased because I'm an Underdame guy.

660
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,319
Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is Notre Dame hasn't signed an

661
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 5: extension or signed the agreement either. And then, you know,

662
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 5: so you could you could make that case, I guess,

663
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 5: make your case if you can for Southern Cow. And

664
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 5: why this robbery should need to change based on the

665
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 5: landscape of college football where a lot of things have changed.

666
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 7: I don't understand. I just don't understand why. Why. The

667
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 7: only reason it wants anybody wants it to change or

668
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 7: has said anything about it, is because Lincoln Riley is

669
00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 7: too soft to play it. And there's a reason they

670
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,279
Speaker 7: play in November. There's a reason they play in October.

671
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 7: What was last year, twenty twenty four and they played

672
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 7: at SC right, Yeah, they played at Notre Dame.

673
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:13,919
Speaker 4: Yeah.

674
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 7: So in the even years they play at Notre Dame

675
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 7: in October because Howard Jones's wife used to want to

676
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 7: watch the leaves change, the USC head coach and Newt

677
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 7: Rockney's wife had family in Los Angeles, so every other

678
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 7: year they would spend Thanksgiving week that week late November

679
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 7: at USC or in Los Angeles with the palm trees

680
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 7: and Hollywood and all that. It is not snowing in

681
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 7: October in South Bend. It is not a snow game.

682
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 7: They don't have to walk uphill in the snow both ways. Yes,

683
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 7: sometimes it rains and it gets a little muddy, but

684
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 7: it's not muney anymore. Because Brian Kelly changed a feeling

685
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 7: that was a travesty as well. I don't look, I

686
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 7: don't understand, other than the fact that Lincoln Riley doesn't

687
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 7: want to play this, why anybody would ever even consider

688
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 7: even moving it, As if playing the first game of

689
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 7: the year is different than playing later in the year. USC.

690
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 7: Notre Dame does nothing but help everybody and us. He's

691
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,280
Speaker 7: not competing for the playoff anyway, and if they were playing,

692
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 7: Notre Dame would help them. This is a coach that

693
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 7: understands very little about the university that he's at. It's

694
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 7: a coach that understands very little about how to make

695
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:37,280
Speaker 7: that university successful year in and year out. He's very stubborn.

696
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 7: He doesn't want to embrace their traditions. And I'll say

697
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 7: it again, if he wasn't so overpaid, he'd be fired

698
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 7: at this point without a doubt. So why should anybody,

699
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 7: I mean, why should anybody allow that guy to say

700
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 7: anything about anything or any of his ilk, or anybody

701
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 7: that listens to what he says at some stupid nil meeting,

702
00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 7: goes on the internet and regurgitates it to fight with

703
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 7: a guy like Brady Quinn. There is no argument to

704
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 7: end this rivalry. There is no argument, in my opinion,

705
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 7: to change the date of the rivalry. The only thing

706
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 7: anybody should do is say yes, we love this rivalry

707
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 7: and it will continue forever. And despite the changes in

708
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 7: college football, the more things change, the more some remain

709
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 7: the same. This is who we are, This is our

710
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 7: identity as a university. We're such a big deal in

711
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 7: college football that we play an intersectional rivalry every single

712
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 7: year against the team that is the cradle of the sport,

713
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 7: Notre Dame. Too. If you're if somehow you're too important

714
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 7: or advanced or elite or West Coast to continue that rivalry,

715
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 7: then let's just scrap the football program and play flag

716
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 7: and try to get into the Olympics.

717
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 6: Petro's I know we're up against it, But who would

718
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 6: embrace that idea? And like those beliefs of what you

719
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 6: just said? Just just humor me. If there were a

720
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 6: coach that in your mind that would shit that mold?

721
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: Who would that be?

722
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 7: Anybody else? Anybody you know, Matt Campbell, Barry Odom, any

723
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 7: other coach in the world of college football. Yeah, and

724
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 7: maybe you get have five drinks in them and say, God,

725
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 7: it's tough to play Notre Dame every year. Okay, great, whatever,

726
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 7: You're still the coach at USC. Like you get paid

727
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 7: ninety million dollars on your stupid ass contract that you

728
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 7: should have never gotten because you play against Notre Dame.

729
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 7: You know that's the thing about USC. And I don't

730
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 7: care that they're in the Big ten now and it's

731
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 7: some they act like it's some giant gauntlet of death.

732
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 7: You shouldn't have done it. Then, you know, if that,

733
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 7: if that prevents you from playing Notre Dame, then you're

734
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 7: too soft to be in the big ten. I'm so sorry.

735
00:39:58,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 4: That's true.

736
00:39:58,880 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 7: That's you know.

737
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 5: I mean, I think you'd agree Pete Carroll during that era,

738
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 5: which I look at as that was the greatest, you know,

739
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 5: group of teams in USC's history.

740
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 3: But he would have never turned this down. He would

741
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 3: have never.

742
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 7: Contemplated no, no, and then and you know, I don't I

743
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 7: could talk about I'll put it this way.

744
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 5: I would put that SC team up against any in

745
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,720
Speaker 5: history of college football.

746
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 7: Okay, uh, you know I don't. There's the way. I

747
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 7: mean O. J. Simpson and people like that, and John

748
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 7: McKay in the seventies a different game, I understand to

749
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 7: tell what I'm saying, but I mean, yeah, there are

750
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 7: great football teams. I covered them as closely as anybody

751
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 7: in the world. I used to travel with them. But uh,

752
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 7: you look, I mean just as scheduling we can argue

753
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 7: about who was good and who was bad and all that,

754
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 7: but scheduling wise, I mean, they played Arkansas, they played Virginia,

755
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 7: they played Kansas at Kansas State, they played at Auburn.

756
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 7: I mean when I played at USC, we played at

757
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 7: Florida State, We played everybody we possibly could. I don't

758
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 7: understand the I mean, they were never afraid of a challenge.

759
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 7: It was it was a way to boost the programs

760
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 7: visibility in the BCS era or any era. But I mean,

761
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 7: I take your point, Brady. I mean, those were absolutely

762
00:41:24,840 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 7: dominant football teams in a dominant era of USC, and

763
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 7: they played anybody they possibly could. You could say, well, yeah,

764
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 7: but they were in the Pac ten at the time.

765
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 7: Well okay, they would go anywhere and play anybody. They

766
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 7: went to Nebraska, Nebraska came here. They I mean they

767
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 7: played everybody you could possibly think of.

768
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:44,879
Speaker 8: That.

769
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 7: I mean when they played Auburn in three Auburn was

770
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 7: the number one team in the country and they played

771
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 7: at Jordan Hare. So, yes, when USC is great generationally

772
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 7: throughout the years, and Pete Carroll of course the most

773
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 7: recent in everybody's memory, they have never ever, ever, ever

774
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 7: shied away from anybody on a schedule. And this is

775
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 7: just it's just not This doesn't feel like USC football

776
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 7: at all. And if they if they try to do

777
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 7: this seriously, just shake start and then just start wearing

778
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:22,200

811
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 5: The passion speech and the inquisition he made over it

812
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 5: was Lee and Lorena.

813
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 9: Yesterday, very very interesting.

814
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 2: I mean, breed, do we still have the So this

815
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: is from yesterday, a very heap down version of what

816
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: happened between LaVar and Lee and Brady LaVar, Lee and

817
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 2: Loraina excuse me. LaVar was very upset that Lee and

818
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,800
Speaker 2: Lorana were taking today off because they were going to Canada,

819
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,439
Speaker 2: going to Vancouver to be a part of the Ben

820
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: Mallor meet and greet.

821
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 9: So LaVar was very bothered by that, and it went.

822
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 6: Like this, I have graduation today, right, I've had a

823
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 6: very very busy week. The twins are graduating high school today, right,

824
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:36,960
Speaker 6: And I really was going to take off tomorrow, like

825
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 6: I was going to take the show off tomorrow, going

826
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 6: to I.

827
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 4: Was going to.

828
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 6: But now I think to myself, like, I'm not gonna

829
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 6: let you outwork me. I'm not gonna let Jonas Knox

830
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 6: outwork me. So I'm going to come in and work tomorrow.

831
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 6: And I see Loraina in the hallway, and I asked, Lorena,

832
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 6: you know how you doing? What's going on this weekend?

833
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 6: She's out of town this weekend? All right, that's great, perfect,

834
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 6: I have a great time. How are you leaving us tomorrow?

835
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 6: You can't, you can't do the show, And then go,

836
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 6: that's what I'm saying. So you're leaving today, you're randomly

837
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 6: off tomorrow. You're standing on that.

838
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 4: I am off tomorrow. No, No, that's not what I

839
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 4: asked you.

840
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 6: I asked you, Are you randomly off tomorrow the same

841
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 6: day as Lorena?

842
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 9: I don't know what that means, but yes, I am

843
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 9: off tomorrow. And so's LeVar so very interesting.

844
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 5: I just I don't understand the passionate stance he took

845
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 5: in such a matter when I didn't care. I don't

846
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 5: think you cared. I don't know that anyone cared whether

847
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 5: or not Lee, Lorena and LeVar took today off. Yet

848
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 5: he's he's really passionate about it.

849
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 9: Listen, it is it is. You know, people take days off.

850
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:50,800
Speaker 9: I mean, I get news for you it.

851
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: So we're we're at summertime, you're going to like people

852
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 2: are going to take time off.

853
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 9: Like there's that's the way this goes.

854
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 2: It goes every year because people realize once football season

855
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: comes around, NFL's king, college Football's king, you can't miss

856
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 2: those days. So like like, but he was, he was

857
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,839
Speaker 2: very fired up about it. Was just an interesting turn

858
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 2: of events that that he was not here. So I

859
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 2: hope that he's in Vancouver with them. That would be

860
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 2: the most appropriate.

861
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,919
Speaker 3: So that would be awesome if you got a ticket

862
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 3: he ended up there.

863
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 2: So if you were at the Ben mallor meet and

864
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: greet up in Vancouver and you see LeVar with Lorraine

865
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 2: and Lee, please send us over a clip. We want

866
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: to make sure there's no you know, pink substance involved

867
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 2: or anything like that in the clip. We don't want

868
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: to step on digs anybody here on the show, But

869
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: if you see them, please send us over some video

870
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 2: evidence of that, so that could be something. By the way,

871
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: you got a Brady Quinn, you got a little bit

872
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 2: of a home game going on there.

873
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,120
Speaker 3: We got the Memorial going in tournament.

874
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 5: Man, he got off to a pretty fast start yesterday,

875
00:46:55,760 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 5: Ben Griffin leading the pack. I think it was seven under,

876
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 5: which is pretty ridiculous all things considered. It got a

877
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 5: little more difficult with the wind later in the day

878
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 5: as guys like Scottie Scheffler came through, who's a defending champ.

879
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 3: But a lot of rain.

880
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,120
Speaker 5: Today, completely different day today. I'll be curious to see

881
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 5: if they start on time, how that goes. But it's

882
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 5: always a good time, always fun to watch. Usually people

883
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 5: go and they'll appreciate the golfers to watch the game

884
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,359
Speaker 5: of golf. They're just going to get hammered, like they

885
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 5: are going to get absolutely drunk at this event. So

886
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 5: it's a great time.

887
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 3: It's obviously good for the good for the town too.

888
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 2: Are you going to take the family? Are you gonna?

889
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 2: I've been this is a wagon and you know, and yeah,

890
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 2: the meat wagon will be there somewhere, probably posted up

891
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: at a bar.

892
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 5: It's tough with the kids. It's actually great. The kids

893
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 5: getting free I think from like fifteen years old or under,

894
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 5: so you can bring them. But much like I figured

895
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 5: out when we went to see Rob Stone at one

896
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 5: of the boweling events, I mean, you gotta be quiet.

897
00:47:57,960 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 5: I mean it's not like they're trying to make this

898
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 5: a rock conser. So I told by three daughters, who

899
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 5: are probably the only ones I take. I mean our

900
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 5: two year old. He'd be a disaster there. But I

901
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 5: was like, you guys got to be quiet. Though I

902
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 5: was like, we'll get kicked out. They're like, what do

903
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 5: you mean.

904
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm like, there will be a man that comes up

905
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 3: and says, you.

906
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 5: Guys need to leave if you cannot keep it down

907
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 5: and figure out a way of playing the quiet game.

908
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 5: Being quiet for like two hours. I was like, and

909
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 5: you're gonna have to walk around, which they hate having

910
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 5: to like exert themselves anyway, So there's most there's probably

911
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 5: a good chance that we end up not taking them,

912
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 5: but maybe I'll make my way out there at some point.

913
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:35,319
Speaker 2: By the way, I was looking and I think there

914
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 2: might be an issue with my with my leader board

915
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 2: here because I was looking going up and I don't

916
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,239
Speaker 2: see where's Rory McElroy.

917
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 3: I don't see him.

918
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 2: On Oh yeah, yeah.

919
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in Canada. I think he might be in

920
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 3: Vancouver for Lee and Lorena, Yeah and LeVar. They might

921
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 3: be in Vancouver together.

922
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:54,239
Speaker 4: All right.

923
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 2: So I don't know if the courses are like up there,

924
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: but maybe that's the foursome that's going Lee, Lorena.

925
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 9: LeVar and Rory Buck because he's not at.

926
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: What is going on in But at least he gave

927
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure he gave Jack the heads up, right, I'm sure.

928
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 4: He gave the everybody the heads up.

929
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I'm not sure that it was as

930
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 5: big of a deal as it was made to be.

931
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 5: But you know, it is Jack Nicholas's tournament. They're actually

932
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 5: honoring it's the fiftieth year of the tournament and they're

933
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,400
Speaker 5: honoring his wife, Barbara Nicholas.

934
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: So a bunch of Nicholas.

935
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 5: Family actually came up for the event this year in

936
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 5: her honor. So it's a pretty big year. And you

937
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 5: would have thought Rory, who's one of the faces. If not,

938
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 5: you know, maybe you'd say next to Scotti Scheffler, the

939
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 5: face of golf, you know, would call the greatest of

940
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 5: all time to let him know he's not coming to

941
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 5: his tournament.

942
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 3: But I don't know.

943
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 5: Again, I think people have more of an issue on

944
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 5: the outside. I don't think Jack had an issue with

945
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 5: it from his statement, But you know, it's a signature

946
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 5: event that it's a twenty million dollars person. I think

947
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 5: the winner is going to take home like four million plus.

948
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 5: So it's odd that you wouldn't take the opportunity to

949
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 5: play an event like that, especially where I mean, look,

950
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 5: I was there last year volunteering. That dude hits the

951
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 5: ball onlike anything else.

952
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 7: You know.

953
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,320
Speaker 3: I think when you see people when they talk about.

954
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 5: Like Josh Allen or Mahomes, whether they throw the football

955
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 5: or you know, Paul Skins and the way he pitches,

956
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 5: there's just certain guys who are outliers. They're just so

957
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 5: much more supremely talented than everyone else. And that's what

958
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 5: Rory is in golf. For people who've ever seen him

959
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 5: hit a golf ball, it's like you see pros and

960
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 5: other guys come through and they hit and you're like, oh,

961
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 5: that's really good, that that's incredible. Then you see him hitting,

962
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 5: you're like, holy, like I've never seen someone do that.

963
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 5: The way he hits the ball. And if you watched

964
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 5: him hit on the range. You'd say he should win

965
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 5: every single tournament he ever enters. But the issue, I believe,

966
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 5: at least the thought is that he doesn't have to

967
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 5: talk about the non conforming driver that he ended up

968
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 5: playing with and having to pull and change what two

969
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 5: events ago, whatever it was now And there's a thought

970
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 5: that maybe he was playing with a non conventional driver and.

971
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 3: Won the Master and look the truth of them.

972
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 5: And we kind of talked about this on a grander

973
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,439
Speaker 5: scale in the with the PGA Tour, they only test

974
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,799
Speaker 5: about fifty drivers and that's not the entire field.

975
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 3: So Scotty Sheffier say, hey, look they took mine too.

976
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 3: Maybe they need to.

977
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,680
Speaker 5: Know check everyone's driver, check everyone's clubs, And it would

978
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 5: make sense. I mean, like in most sports, I think

979
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 5: you're trying to check and make sure everything one's playing

980
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 5: within the same you know, rules and guidelines of everyone else.

981
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 5: And I think that's a fair way of doing it.

982
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 5: But for whatever reason, the PGA Tour hasn't implemented this.

983
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 2: So there's a thought that he's trying to avoid having

984
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,080
Speaker 2: to answer the questions from the previous.

985
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 5: Yes, because I think there's a thought when you're one

986
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 5: of six who've ever you know, accomplished the Grand Slam

987
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,959
Speaker 5: that you don't want there to be an asterisk next

988
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,200
Speaker 5: next to your name saying, well, he could have won

989
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 5: it with the non conforming driver because it's the same

990
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 5: oney one, you know where he played with the next tournament,

991
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 5: right like, that would be the thought. And not to

992
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 5: dig deeper into it, but a lot of pros shave

993
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 5: the face of the driver because it helps create a

994
00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,440
Speaker 5: little more pop to it and all that. There are

995
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 5: some advantages to the way they go about constructing their clubs,

996
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 5: So if you them all the time, it would definitely

997
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 5: cut down on some of the things I think players

998
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 5: do to their clubs to make the ball fly as

999
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 5: far and fly.

1000
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 3: As straight as it does.

1001
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, it seems, you know, I think his

1002
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,399
Speaker 2: Master's win is safe. I don't know that anybody would

1003
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:16,840
Speaker 2: really judge him, but who knows.

1004
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, that's the thing is ultimately, you know,

1005
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 5: is waiting another week or two. I mean, you're gonna

1006
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 5: play eventually another major. Someone's gonna ask about it. It's

1007
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 5: not like that's just gonna be forgotten. It's not like

1008
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 5: you're going on hiatus. For like a couple of years.

1009
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 5: Eventually someone's gonna ask you about it.

1010
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 2: By the way, you mentioned Paul Schemes for anybody who's

1011
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 2: not actually taken the time to watch.

1012
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 9: First of all, he pitches for the Pirates. They're awful.

1013
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,399
Speaker 2: They're highlights this year or Paul Schemes and a guy

1014
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 2: falling out of the out of the stands in the outfield.

1015
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 2: I mean, they're just a terrible team. But if anybody's

1016
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 2: never gotten to see him pitch or seeing highlights of him,

1017
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 2: he throws high nineties like it's nothing like everything the

1018
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: guy like it just it looks totally effortless, and you

1019
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: watch hitters and they're just perplexed, like why is why

1020
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 2: is he throwing ninety six?

1021
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 9: And why does it move like that?

1022
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 2: Like and he can locate it and he can So

1023
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 2: that's to your point. When you see certain athletes, you

1024
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: just sit back and marvel at how are you able

1025
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 2: to do it? Because it looks so much more difficult

1026
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 2: for everybody else. Paul Skeens is one of those guys

1027
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 2: that you know, maybe nationally is it gets some attention,

1028
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 2: But as for as much as everybody talks about listen show, Hey,

1029
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 2: Tani's you know, must watch, Aaron Judge must watch. I mean,

1030
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 2: if you can stomach sitting through a Pirates game once

1031
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 2: every five days. When Paul Skeins is pitching, he's phenomenal,

1032
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 2: Like he's really really fun to watch. So it is

1033
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 2: a two pros and a cup of Joe. Here on

1034
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio. Now, we did mention the NBA Eastern

1035
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,439
Speaker 2: Conference Finals. You had the the New York Knicks get

1036
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:56,120
Speaker 2: it done last night. By the way, the fact that

1037
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: if you were to just because I know we were,

1038
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 2: you know, poking fun of at the box score, but

1039
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 2: if you were to just read off the numbers of

1040
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 2: the starters for the Pacers, that game should have been

1041
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 2: way worse than it was.

1042
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:10,479
Speaker 9: Like if you just.

1043
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 2: Went through the starting five of Indiana and Tyrese Haliburton's

1044
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: numbers and all those guys, that that should have been

1045
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 2: a thirty point game. But ultimately the Knicks still get

1046
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 2: it done. They forced a game six, and we did

1047
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 2: mention the awkward exchange between Pascal Siakam and Greg Doyle

1048
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 2: who was asking about, you know, just the performance and

1049
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: the the effort level and playing hard last night. And

1050
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: here was the exchange following the game last night?

1051
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 4: How much basin was them? I guess what did they

1052
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 4: do especially on the on their side.

1053
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 11: Then you guys trying to get older than nah, they

1054
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,160
Speaker 11: did played harder than us. I think I think they

1055
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 11: played harder on us. You know, newsballs, like rebounds like

1056
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 11: all that. We got to be able to win that battle.

1057
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 11: What do you mean, Pascal?

1058
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 8: Can you can you make sense of it from those

1059
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 8: of us old playing this game at this level?

1060
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 7: You know what was this day?

1061
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 5: And you're saying they played hard when you guys you

1062
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,399
Speaker 5: can find them hard felt?

1063
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 7: How is that, Homo?

1064
00:55:09,680 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 11: In games you're talking about they played harder than us.

1065
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 11: It's okay, we played hard, but they played harders. What's

1066
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 11: your point. I don't get it interesting.

1067
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 7: That happens in a game. To it, that's basketball. You're good,

1068
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 7: You're good, bro. You're looking for.

1069
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 11: Something I know, but damn no, no, But I'm telling

1070
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 11: you though I told you, what else do you want

1071
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 11: me to tell you?

1072
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 5: So that was Pascal coming Greg Doyle, which again, I mean,

1073
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:45,160
Speaker 5: I think it's tough for athletes because after games it's

1074
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 5: it's a little simpler, and especially during a series or

1075
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 5: during the course of a season, you just want to

1076
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 5: move on, like there's there's some days where you didn't

1077
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 5: have your best. There's some days where yeah, the other

1078
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 5: team had more desire or fight, more effort that they

1079
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 5: put into the game. And it felt a little bit

1080
00:55:58,680 --> 00:55:58,840
Speaker 5: like that.

1081
00:55:58,920 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 7: Last night.

1082
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 3: It felt like wasn't the PACER's night.

1083
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,240
Speaker 5: But I mean, it's also funny to me only because

1084
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,280
Speaker 5: you talked about some like the bench players who stepped

1085
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:07,800
Speaker 5: up with that game should have been a blowout and

1086
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 5: it wasn't, but there.

1087
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 3: Was like a still shot. I saw TJ McConnell talking.

1088
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 5: Trash to some of the some of the New York

1089
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 5: Knicks fans who were on the on the on the court,

1090
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 5: like Ben Stiller and Timothy Schallomet who was sitting right there.

1091
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 5: There's someone else whose name escapes me, but you kind

1092
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 5: of looked back over it looked like Ben Stiller was

1093
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 5: talking trash back to him.

1094
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 4: So I was like, all right, this is good.

1095
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 9: I like this.

1096
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 5: I like the chippiness that's been going on between a

1097
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 5: lot of the Knicks fans who've been traveling and sitting

1098
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 5: courtside and McAfee obviously giving it to him too, back

1099
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 5: when they're in Indianapolis, Like this has been a fun

1100
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 5: series for a lot of the fandom that's been a

1101
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 5: part of it too, And then.

1102
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: You know obviously the yeah, the Reggie Miller, the choke gesture,

1103
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 2: the all that stuff that's come along with it.

1104
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's been fun, a.

1105
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:53,840
Speaker 2: Lot more interesting and entertaining than what the Western Conference

1106
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 2: gave us, which was the the wipe out there. But look,

1107
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 2: I don't I mean, I don't think either guy did

1108
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,319
Speaker 2: anything wrong there. In that postgame, Siakam was like, yeah,

1109
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 2: they just played harder than us, and Doyle's like, well,

1110
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 2: how's that possible, because he's trying to get an understanding

1111
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,440
Speaker 2: and and Doyle's had some some weird, awkward moments before.

1112
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 2: But it's just I think at this point, when you're

1113
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 2: doing the back and forth and you're covering each each

1114
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 2: game is like its own chapter and it has nothing

1115
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 2: to do with the next one. Like there's no like,

1116
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: there's gonna be no momentum that's probably carried from that

1117
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 2: game into the next, and once the game's over, the

1118
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 2: Pacers are like, all right, we're going to close that

1119
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 2: at home, like it is what It's just like, there's

1120
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 2: there's only so much you could possibly say after each

1121
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 2: one of these games before, you're just doing the same

1122
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 2: thing over again. We're just waiting for the NBA Finals

1123
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 2: to start. So to me, that's a wrap on that series.

1124
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 5: And uh, what about Edmondsonhow I mean, that's gonna be

1125
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 5: a hell of a Stanley Cup.

1126
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something, all right, somebody was trying

1127
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 2: to bust my balls because I said it was going

1128
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 2: to be an all Canada final.

1129
00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 9: Sure, definitely not, but it is. It is half Canada.

1130
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 2: And the last time we saw this happen, and I

1131
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,959
Speaker 2: believe it's only three times you've seen back to back

1132
00:58:10,040 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: the same matchup in the Stanley Cup Final since nineteen eighty.

1133
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,680
Speaker 2: The last time was two thousand and eight. Two thousand

1134
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 2: and nine. It was the Red Wings and the Penguins.

1135
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 2: And I know that because the two thousand and nine

1136
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 2: matchup I went to the Igloo in Pittsburgh and saw

1137
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 2: Game three and four of the Stanley Cup Final between

1138
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 2: the Red Wings and the Penguins. And I'm calling my

1139
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 2: shot right now. It's going to play out like that

1140
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 2: Detroit won the first year. Everyone was like, man is

1141
00:58:38,360 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 2: Sydney Crosby ever going to get his Cup? And I'm

1142
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 2: telling you right, now Edmonton's going to win this year

1143
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 2: and Connor McDavid's going to finally hoist the cup.

1144
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 9: It's happening. So you and keep Prisco can stick it

1145
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 9: in your go cat and smoke it.

1146
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you could sit your ass down. Okay, Florida's going

1147
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 5: back to the Stanley Cup for the third straight year.

1148
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 7: All right.

1149
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 5: They have a roster that they've somehow improved upon based

1150
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 5: on last year's tea. They're deep and and mind you,

1151
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 5: this is not going to be like, oh, that's three

1152
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 5: years in a row and then they just fall off

1153
00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 5: a cliff. You look at their cap situation, the roster structure.

1154
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 5: They could they could make a run at this thing

1155
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 5: for the.

1156
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 4: Next two three years like we could.

1157
00:59:13,120 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: We could be.

1158
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 5: Legitimately looking at the Panthers dominating. Now, some of that

1159
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 5: depends on Barbrovsky and how long he wants to play,

1160
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 5: and if he does decide to hang it up, you

1161
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 5: know who you got coming in at goal. But this

1162
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 5: this has been so well put together by Vinnie Viola

1163
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 5: their own I mean again, I lived there in a

1164
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 5: period of time where I watched what partnership looked like,

1165
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 5: and when he took over, he puts so much money

1166
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 5: and effort resources guys like Matt Caldwell who helps run

1167
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:41,920
Speaker 5: it to just what they've done, I think for the

1168
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:46,480
Speaker 5: fan base, for the players, it's an entirely different team

1169
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 5: and atmosphere than it was when I was first down

1170
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 5: there going to Florida Panthers games when they take that

1171
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 5: T shirt gun and it would usually we would place bets.

1172
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 5: I swear to god, whatever the T shirt gun would

1173
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 5: come out, we'd play bets and it was usually two

1174
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 5: to one odds that it would hit a seat as

1175
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 5: opposed to hitting an actual fan. That's how limited the

1176
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 5: attendance was. Now you have to go through Sawgrass Mills

1177
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 5: right you drive west near the damn near the Everglades.

1178
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 3: But they packed that place up.

1179
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 5: I don't even know if it's amarant Bankering or whatever

1180
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 5: it's called now, but they packed that place. They've got

1181
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 5: a spot they're called the Panther Bar. It's flipping awesome

1182
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 5: and it is wild, like those games are so much

1183
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 5: fun to go to now. So all credit to the

1184
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,120
Speaker 5: ownership too, and obviously the players everyone else, but like

1185
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 5: the fan base now, it's been fun. I mean, it

1186
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 5: really has been fun watching that team grow and have

1187
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 5: the success that.

1188
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 2: They've had dead even on DraftKings to see the series.

1189
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 3: So it should be a good one. It'd be a

1190
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 3: great one.

1191
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1192
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,600
Speaker 9: So Edmonton Florida Volume two, we're gonna get this year.

1193
01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 5: All those Toronto transplants that are down there at Flora

1194
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 5: may chiming in rooting for Canada.

1195
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 2: Probably how far away sunrise from like South Beach, Miami

1196
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 2: and all those plays.

1197
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,320
Speaker 5: Oh that's a hike, that's probably, I mean you have

1198
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:04,959
Speaker 5: to get out on the Turnpike and the head north.

1199
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 5: It's probably I don't know, fifty minutes, sixty minutes to

1200
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 5: an hour, depend on.

1201
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 3: Traffic, and mayally more.

1202
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 4: Damn.

1203
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a little bit of southeache. It's more of

1204
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 5: a Fort Lauderdale crowd that would just be driving directly west.

1205
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 4: Pretty much.

1206
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 9: Interesting.

1207
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,800

Speaker 9: They've got an idea.

1215
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot of debate, a lot of conversation about

1216

Speaker 2: who should get the opportunity, who should get the opportunity,

1217
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:49,760
