Yeah, we're gonna use that 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: tomorrow as pumpkin pie and pumpkin seeds too. Okay, I'm 31 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: afraid well, pumpy the Italian pumpkins. Oh see, I'm a 32 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: big pumpkin. It's tough to find pumpkin pie March. It's 33 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: where can you get pumpkin pie in March? It's how 34 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: many pumpkins did you handle at Wegmans? 35 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 3: Oh? 36 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: When I say handled, now to hear the thing more more 37 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: so at Pathmark because we would have the big displays 38 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: out front Wegmans, we didn't really do We didn't really 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: have a lot of pumpkins that was That was more 40 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: of the the grocery guys had to handle that and 41 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: put that stuff out, whereas we had to do it 42 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,639 Speaker 1: at Pathmark. It's biggest pain in the ass. So when 43 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: you had to put them out on the front shoop, 44 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: I've always wondered about this. Do someone have to take 45 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 1: those in at the end of the night. Yeah, but 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: they get ripped off, so you always wonder. This is why, 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: this is why the pumpkins was such a pain in 48 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: the ass, is that because putting the pumpkins out right, 49 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: you put them on a pallette, so you would you 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 1: would actually just carry them out on the pallet, which 51 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: is fine, so taking it so taking them in was 52 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: never a big deal. The worst part was when if 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: your boy my manager said okay, and it would always 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: find out whoever he thought wasn't working hard, or if 55 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: you just wanted to make somebody do something, whatever it was, 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and I had to do it a couple of times, 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: it would say, hey, get in clean out the pumpkin bin. 58 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: Because the worst part is that if you get down 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: at the bottom of that pumpkin bin, if there were 60 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: some rotten pumpkins that you did not want to go 61 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: and pull outside, and you had to step into the 62 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: pumpkin display, you had to make room to step into it, 63 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: and you pull stuff out, and it smelled terrible. That 64 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 1: was the worst. Was Hey, take out the bad pumpkins 65 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: and throw And that's the worst when you get down 66 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: because you know, there's always stuff at the bottom and 67 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: there would be like flies on the bottom or something. 68 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is awful. You had you 69 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: had to wear gloves and move it. It was it was 70 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 1: the onest, you feel, that was the worst. Man. Nobody 71 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: wanted to put the pumpkins. Well, you just pulled the 72 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: pumpkins in to the front of the store and left 73 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: it there they you know, and then you put it 74 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: back out the next day. Why is the one U 75 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Because it's it's easier to carry. So so you wanted 76 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: to be able to launch it like it was that 77 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 1: old grenade that the Green Goblin had. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 78 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: and you know the mask is talking. You said, throw ahead, 79 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: throw the pumpkin, throw the pumpkins, throw it. Uh. So 80 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: we got more WBC coming up in a bit. United 81 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: States Venezuela for all the marbles tomorrow night.

I can't believe we're still having 87 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: the big story today Alabama getting set for their first 88 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: game against Hofstra on Friday without their second leading scorer, 89 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: as Aiden Holloway, was arrested on a felony drug charge 90 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: earlier this morning. He was quote removed from campus and 91 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: is not with the team four days before their opener 92 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: against Hofstra. The big quote nade Out saying on his 93 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 1: radio show Monday night, we got standards in our program, 94 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: and we've got ways we've held our guys accountable. Yeah. 95 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: I don't know that I would say that so much 96 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: after you had a whole big murder case involving your 97 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: team from just a couple of years ago, and now 98 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: we have standards. Yeah, pretty sure. You found a way 99 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: to let your best player compete in the tournament when 100 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: all this was going on the Alabama I can't get 101 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: over the lawlessness in this program. Now. Granted, in twenty 102 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: twenty six, you have a felony drug charge for marijuana, 103 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: but you know it was a lot of marijuana that 104 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: was found. I mean, so you don't know what was 105 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: going on, what his personal consumption was, you have no idea, 106 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: but this is Alabama. I can't get over how they can. 107 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: They can't get out of their own way. They manufacture 108 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: all kinds of legal controversies, and this is I mean, 109 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: because this whole you know, they're just trying to still 110 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: come out from under the situation a couple of years ago. 111 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,040 Speaker 1: Now here you are, your second best player, guy was 112 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: really good, is now not with the team. And you 113 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: wonder how fast the wheels of justice turn. Are they 114 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,280 Speaker 1: going to put them right back out there? If they can. 115 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: I think they might because they did it before. But 116 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: I just can't get over how Alabama and NATO specifically 117 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: can't get out from under this kind of badness and 118 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: the legal shoes that they get away with. The Alabama 119 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 1: is if if the Alabama basketball program went to go 120 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: look at a house and the realtor shows them the house. 121 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 1: Here it is. It's a it's a twenty bedroom house. 122 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: It's anything you could possibly want. It's got a pool. 123 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: It's got a big viewing room where you can show movies. 124 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: You see this, there's it's it's it's got it's got 125 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: all sorts of amenities. There's a track around the house. 126 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: We got big basketball court in the back for you 127 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: guys to practice on everything you want. The only thing 128 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 1: I to watch out for is there's a room at 129 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: the very top of the stairs, on the top floor. 130 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 1: It's more of an attic and it's really hard to 131 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: get into because there's all kinds of locks on the 132 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: doors and the door is small. You can't really get in. 133 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: It's really tough. You have to squeeze through. Stay out 134 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: of that room. As long as you stay out of 135 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: that room, everything is fine. And you got this big house. 136 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: It's it's awesome. Now I'm gonna give you a few 137 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 1: minutes to go look at the rest of the house. 138 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to my car, gonna get some papers, 139 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 1: get a coffee. I'll come back and we'll talk about 140 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: signing the papers. Right, but just stay out of that room. 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: You only have to do. It's very small room, top 142 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: locks on the doors, everything else do. Just stay out 143 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: of that room. Everything is fine, Okay, great. The realtor 144 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: goes to their car, SIT's down, has a coffee, makes 145 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: a couple of calls, go, yeah, I think Alabama's gonna 146 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: take this out. It's awesome. I mean, it's fantastic. Then 147 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: after a few minutes go by, realtor locks a car, 148 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: has the papers, brings a coffee, goes into the house. 149 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: Can't find anybody from Alabama. Where where? Where's the basketball program? 150 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: I don't undstand? Where are they don't understand? Uh?

I think it's coming from that room. 164 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: And the realtor goes all the way to the room 165 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: and that only is a door open. There's bolt cutters 166 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: on the floor from where they cut the locks, the 167 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: multiple locks over. There's a big chainsaw on the floor 168 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: where they widened open the doors so everybody could fit inside. 169 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: And the realtor goes inside and not only is the 170 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: entire basketball program in that room, they're sitting on beds, 171 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: they're sitting on the floor, they're watching TV, and they 172 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: have all sorts of food buckets and pizza boxes because 173 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: they ordered food delivered to that room in that time. 174 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: This is Alabama Sports. Yeah, but you just al concept 175 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 1: in terms of a delivery service finding said room, and 176 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: you widen the doorway, which might help in certain circumstances. 177 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: So it might have upgraded the house in this case. 178 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: You go back to Oats. The rest of the quote, well, 179 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: we try to keep everything in house. Obviously some situations 180 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: you can't. What the hell else you got going on? 181 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: That's basically inviting an investigation to the rest of your 182 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: program as you go the yeah, well, you know what, 183 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: we try to try to do everything and take care 184 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: of it ourselves. So you have this situation, we're preparing 185 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: to play without them, I would hope. So they're felony 186 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: drug charges. We could argue all you want about the 187 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: legality of marijuana and whatever state to state federally and 188 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: everything else. It's a pound plus generally you're not purchasing 189 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: that much for personal consumption. I not really keen on 190 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: in terms of, you know, your normal quantities, but buying 191 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: it in bulk usually would portend to a trafficking kind 192 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: of an issue instead of Hey, I'm just getting ahead 193 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: of the weekend. So yeah, difficult proposition here as they're 194 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 1: one of the squads you're kind of keeping an eye on. 195 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: But for Oates, look, it's been a lot of positivity 196 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: outside of Bruce Pearl for the rest of the tournament, 197 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: So to have this pop up on the doorstep as 198 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: we get going another black eye for the NCAA. 199 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: Is one of the most insanely idiotic things I've ever heard. 200 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 3: At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you 201 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 3: even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. 202 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 3: Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened 203 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: to it. 204 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: You know that was that was Bruce Pearl? Was that 205 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: for me? 206 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 3: For you? 207 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 2: Let's wear it? 208 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I thought I made a nice consistent coaching point. 209 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,439 Speaker 1: I can't get over Alabama, okay, and I can't get 210 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,559 Speaker 1: over Nato saying you know we had to suspend him 211 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: pending the investigation. Yeah, we didn't really want to write. Well, 212 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I like that. We have standards, dude, clearly you don't 213 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 1: have standards. Man. This is I can't get over how 214 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: fat this program can't do things right. It's it's insane 215 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: and this you know, and it's too bad because this 216 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: took us away from what really is the best March 217 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: madness NCAA selection conversation we can have, and this is 218 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: that there was really no controversy. There was no concern 219 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: about who got snubbed. There was no snub snubs. I 220 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: don't want no snubs. Snubs is a team that can't 221 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: get some love from the committee. No sub There was 222 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: no snub conversation. There was no look at this team 223 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: that got left out. Madamy of Ohio got in. We 224 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: can argue whether or not they should be in the 225 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: first four or not, but they got in. Everybody that 226 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: had a pretty good resume got in. Auburn did not 227 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: get in. But then again, when you're seventeen and sixteen, 228 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of sympathy for you. Even 229 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: if Bruce Pearl is out there beating the drum for 230 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: a team that he coached it now as kid coaches, 231 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: There was really no controversy. There was no this is 232 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: the field of sixty eight. Joelan Alaradi went sixty eight 233 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: for sixty eight, right, there was there was not a 234 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: lot of all what metrics did the committee use here? 235 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: And you see that we don't need the snubs because 236 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: of the look about how today was. We were still 237 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: able to celebrate the selection of the teams going in debate, 238 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 1: hey where they should be seen? Were they seated correctly? 239 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 1: Were they not? Because there's some of that you can argue, 240 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: but by and large, the teams all got in. And 241 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: guess what, we didn't need the manufacture at all. Look 242 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: at this, Look at the teams have got snubbed that 243 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: should have gotten in that didn't. This is a great 244 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: day for the NCAA tournament. Now Alabama ruins it with 245 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: this story, but this was a great day for the 246 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: tournament simply because we don't need that snubbed. What happened 247 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: here to be able to push the conversation forward about 248 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, We didn't need it. Yeah, I mean 249 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: as you go through, I mean there's a couple of 250 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: teams that were on the bubble and you can argue 251 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: him off. I mean, I think the strongest of those 252 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: left out with San Diego State twenty two and eleven, 253 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 1: and then you start going into strength strength to schedule 254 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: some of the other metrics. Some they rated well and 255 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: some they did not. Oklahoma was nineteen and fifteen, Auburn was, 256 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: as you said, seventeen and sixteen. Some big wins, but 257 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: an awful lot of losses. When you're barely five hundred, 258 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: nobody's really going to bat for you. Indiana started out well, 259 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: finished poorly, including a big loss to Northwestern down the 260 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 1: stretch that keeps them out. So really not nothing that 261 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: you were shaking your fist and getting all up in 262 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: arms about, which normally we have one of those manufactured. 263 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: Just so there's a big talking point. But I guess 264 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 1: you knew there would be enough oxygen with Bruce Pearl 265 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: and folks giving him a platform to complain more for 266 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: his kid and the program he left, that he got 267 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: paid out a ton of money and all all of 268 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: this other stuff that he's still a consultant and everything else, 269 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: and you know that that's a larger, you know, broadcasting 270 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: decision in terms of what he brings because he is opinionated, 271 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: so you get that, but the the standing for that, 272 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: you know, at the detriment of others, you know, you're 273 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: you're now a lobbyist being given the microphone instead of, 274 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: you know, objectively analyzing what's going on. But all that 275 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, the the tournament, will get get started, 276 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 1: will get our first four, or true TV or not TV. 277 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: You got a number of people going, when's it coming back? 278 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 1: When do I need to It's like, don't worry, it'll 279 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: be here soon enough.

Jordan wins, which 426 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: was an awesome moment. I mean, his career is just 427 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,439 Speaker 1: flipping outstanding. But last night you kind of had to 428 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: make a choice because you had the Oscars on one 429 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: channel and you had the World Baseball Classic on the other. 430 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,479 Speaker 1: This is United States Dominican Republic, which is probably the 431 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,399 Speaker 1: most talent we've ever seen on a field at once 432 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 1: in a game that actually meant something like we see 433 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: this in the All Star Games all the time, but 434 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: the also games don't really mean anything. This game meant 435 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: something probably the most talent we've ever seen. Now we 436 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: go right from the NSA Selection Show into the Oscars 437 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: into the World Baseball Classic. So that that's a bit 438 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: of a choice that you kind of have to make 439 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: there and don't give me this, Oh you just have 440 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: two screens, you know, I just watch two screens. Just 441 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: wanted two screens. Kind of have to make a choice 442 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,159 Speaker 1: to see both of these things. You can have multiple 443 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: screens else you watch, you can, but it's country. No, no, no, 444 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: I just I just went went back and checked. We 445 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: tape the hospital, by the way, the All Star Game 446 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: come on that time it counted, yeah, the one yeah, 447 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: the one time it came that whole lot in a 448 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,919 Speaker 1: time it was a tie and time when it counted. 449 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: Because no, it's if you want to go to the point. 450 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: This is why I'm a big proponent of the the 451 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,439 Speaker 1: two television living room. Like not that, not the two screen, 452 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 1: but the two television living room. Oh okay, so you 453 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: have two big you know, you have a living room 454 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: that's big. You should have four for NFL Sundays anyway, 455 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: four is even better. But just judging by the people 456 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: I know and and in my life, getting two in 457 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: the living room. That's a bit of a that's a 458 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 1: bit of an agreement. That's that's a bit of a 459 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: It's kind of like the uh, the MLB, p A, 460 00:22:58,119 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: and you know, trying to figure things out in the 461 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 1: w NBA. It's like a big collective bargaining agreement to 462 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 1: try to get that to happen. It's like, I want 463 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: two TVs. Two TVs. No, no, no, but two TVs 464 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: and for sports and everything else because you want to 465 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: be able to see stuff on the biggest screen possible. 466 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: That's why people have big TVs. Right, Yeah, you could 467 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: have a picture in picture or two screens, but you 468 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: don't want small screens. No one knowing about a small 469 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 1: screen sized TV front or two hundred bucks Yeah a 470 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: big TONI moment have a big two screen. But just 471 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: judging by the reaction, and I didn't feel in Look, 472 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: the OSCARS has been something that has slowly declined. The 473 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: OSCARS is very similar to the NBA All Star Game, 474 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl, Major League Baseball All Star Game, where 475 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: viewership is starting to spin and starting to fall off, 476 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: and all it is every year. Let's try to find 477 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: a way to keep the OSCARS relevant and not lose 478 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: as many viewers. Let's try to do that, right. That's 479 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: where the Oscars has been because the last few years 480 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 1: it's been a it's been in a free fall. It 481 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: used to be, hey, thirty eight million, forty million people watch. Ye, 482 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: it was always the number two watched event of the year, 483 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: behind the super Bowl. And now it's like there's a 484 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 1: hundred things ahead of it. Now it's just number two. 485 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,360 Speaker 1: Now it's it now, Now it's now it's Michael b Oscars. 486 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: Now it's Michael d. Every one of the the script 487 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 1: scripted bits was terrible. Oh well and that and that's 488 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: one after another.

We flip over to 494 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: see the Oscars. What was going on? Yeah, But the 495 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: fact that you you're so worried about the oscars running 496 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: long and you run all sorts of bad bits like 497 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: oh my god, the Lewis Pullman Bill Pullman bit like 498 00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 1: come on, man, if you're gonna put these guys on 499 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 1: camera and have him do a bit at least have 500 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: him practice it or do something, or have somebody write 501 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: something where it's where it's good. Right, they look like 502 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: they never met each other, Like I didn't like, I 503 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 1: didn't mind the Bridesmaids and it. But I'm like, there's 504 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: a Bridesmaids fifteenth and that's a thing that went ten minutes. 505 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,720 Speaker 1: That's the thing that's just kept going. Don't see like 506 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: you have no This is why it gets so long. Right, 507 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: you have these bits you put out there, and I 508 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: understand you want to do live stuff, but let's have 509 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: bits that you know are gonna work. Let's have bits 510 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 1: that go a little bit brisker and the last thing 511 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: you want to cut out from. Because I'm like, nobody 512 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: turns away when the main six awards are given and 513 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 1: the acceptance speeches go right, No one's turning away Michael B. 514 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: Jordan's acceptance speech. No one's tuning out for that. No 515 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 1: one's tuning out for Jesse Buckley's speech when she accepts 516 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: for Hamnett or for Amy Madigan, or when Paul Thomas 517 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: Anderson is up there. Everybody wants to see what people 518 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: are saying. When they're thanking people, Now do you want 519 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: to see it from people you don't know? And for 520 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: awards like costume and for okay, I understand that, but 521 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: the main act, everybody wants to see. No one's saying, oh, 522 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: Michael be Joe Wick, click and I can move over. No, 523 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: they want to see what everybody has to say. Why 524 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: are you cutting that part of it? Like that's the 525 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: worst part. There's so many other things you can cut. 526 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: But when the main six awards are given, I want 527 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,479 Speaker 1: to say, see what these people have to say. Well, 528 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: they got they got their moments right, it was a 529 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 1: little bit earlier. And that's that's where there's now the 530 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: debate of how many people get to talk when you 531 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: go up there? Right? If if you bring fifteen people 532 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: up there, you can't say all right, now he's got 533 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: something he wants to say, like they now you're pushing it. 534 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: But all the comedy bits, they were just awful. Yeah, 535 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: Tonan might as well have just done, you know, another 536 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: monologue because he at least was moderately entertaining everything else, 537 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: do more of the PostScript thing, like he the folks 538 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: had turned away and they have the little one battle 539 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: after another nod and a win was pretty good. But yeah, 540 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: it's just as I'm watching it, going, really, this is 541 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,360 Speaker 1: this is bad. This, This is worse improv than than 542 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: anything done on sports talk radio. And and these are 543 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 1: the most talented people in the wars that they're talent 544 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: at this, the most talented people in the world are 545 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: doing this, right, I mean Evans and Downey Junior. That 546 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: was awful, Like just one after another. This is tough. 547 00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: But this is a tough watch, man, I guess. I mean, 548 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,160 Speaker 1: you want people to be in a position to succeed, 549 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 1: and you see it, so you you you put up 550 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: a tough watch and then you double up with this. 551 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: And this is something that was said that didn't gain 552 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: a lot of attention, but I really do believe it. 553 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: Like Amanda Seafree didn't interview today, you know, a star 554 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: of the house Maid, you know, and she's done a 555 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: lot of stuff the last twenty Big star and mean girls. Yeah, 556 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,359 Speaker 1: and she said, you know she can tell the weather 557 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: gen Z sixty five percent chance of it while it's 558 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: rating sixty five percent. She said, you know, gen Z 559 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: doesn't care about the oscars. We don't. We don't care 560 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: about the oscars as much. And that's such a big 561 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: deal because when you see that, why the Oscars are 562 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: losing viewers and something like Major League Baseball, the World 563 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: Baseball Classic is doing really well. So okay, well it's 564 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: a live sporting event and we don't know how it's 565 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: going to go. But by and large, you had two 566 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: big events here. And I never thought for a second 567 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: about hey, watching the Oscars and then catching up with 568 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: the World Baseball Classic, And you know, I think it's 569 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm some of my fifties, and I'm 570 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: like in the wheelhouse of where they want their Oscar 571 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: coverage to go to. Because every year a couple of 572 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 1: things happened. The Academy voters get older and older. But 573 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: the younger generation really doesn't care about the Oscars. They 574 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 1: don't care about the competition, they don't care about winning 575 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: the Oscars. That's not what gen Z is right. Like, 576 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,720 Speaker 1: here's a perfect example, Ryan Kugler, right, who is I'll 577 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: see everything he does. He's an incredible director. Obviously, Sinners, 578 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, was was probably the most interesting film of 579 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: the year last year, all the different things they did. 580 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: Like one of the things that Hollywood wants to do is, hey, 581 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 1: we want to get younger voters in right, doesn't want 582 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: to be all the b And they asked Ryan Coogler 583 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: to come in and vote and he said no. And 584 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,600 Speaker 1: he said no because he said, I don't believe that 585 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: we should be judged against each other for the Oscars. 586 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: And I'm like, okay, but you're at this ceremony and 587 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: you're here, it's it's a and you're a guy that 588 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: played football. You're not. You weren't everybody gets a trophy. Yeah, 589 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean so when something like this happens and you 590 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: see that this younger generation, yeah, the whole competition thing 591 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: is not what it was. They just don't care as much. 592 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: There's so many entertainment avenues for everybody to participate in 593 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 1: now with the streaming shows and movies and there's so much. 594 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,120 Speaker 1: There's so much out there to make a living on 595 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: and do well on that just the competition of winning 596 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 1: the oscar is just not there. And the younger generation 597 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: doesn't care as much. And the younger generation they're not 598 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: gonna watch. 599 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: Not just. 600 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: People don't care, but I think he grabs to a 601 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 1: lot of folks. And this is where you could start 602 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: getting into some of the larger social political and whatever. 603 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 1: But it's also a once upon a time Hollywood came 604 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: together and the Oscars. Was it right? That was your 605 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: moment in terms of, Hey, they're on the red carpet. 606 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: This guy doesn't do interviews. He's not randomly sitting on 607 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: anybody's couch for five straight days pushing this and then 608 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: going on a bunch of podcasts and doing his own 609 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: podcasts and doing like they were recluses. You didn't know 610 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: these people. It's kind of like we talk about with 611 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: sports figures, like they were shadowed, Like nobody knew anything 612 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: about Jordan. Like the guys showed up, played really well 613 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 1: in games. Yeah, eventually you found out about the gambling 614 00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: and whatever, but but for the most part they were enigmatic. 615 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: They were they were otherly otherworldly. And now they're they're everywhere. Right, 616 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: every time they go for a sandwich. Uh, there's press, 617 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 1: press outings, right, they're they're pr people getting them a 618 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 1: little bit of run or everything becomes uh, you know, 619 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 1: just walking their dog in the neighborhood. It's like, oh, there, 620 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: they are just like us. So some of that is gone, right, 621 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: the accessibility and that specialness that not to mention the 622 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,040 Speaker 1: award seasons is what four months long anymore? Yeah? Well, 623 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: and also we've seen all the all the going to 624 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: the movies. It's not people are way more happy to 625 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: I'll sit at home and watch all these streaming shows, 626 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: or I'll wait for this movie to come. Nobody, nobody 627 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: stands up. It's oh, I really hope this wins. This 628 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: was the best movie. This was not. That's just gone. 629 00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 1: And and I don't know that that era is ever 630 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: coming back to me when you are Frostburg. 631 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 4: Well, it's also because they're not making great movies like 632 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 4: they used to make. Ah, I don't know about these 633 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 4: are good because the ones that go up against these 634 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 4: good ones are garbage. 635 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: Well, look when they went to ten, question that ten 636 00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: years ago every movie was great. I still think you have. 637 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,480 Speaker 1: You have a lot of really good movies. You have 638 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: a lot of great movie ones that are good because 639 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: the competition is horrible. Well, when you when you when 640 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: you put ten, I don't I don't think you need 641 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,240 Speaker 1: to put ten up. I don't think you need to 642 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: put ten movies. 643 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,760 Speaker 4: And reason that they shortening the speeches because nobody does 644 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: want to watch them. The numbers are telling them that. 645 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, but look, but look at what they did this year, Right, 646 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: you had a huge battle for for Best Actor with 647 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 1: Chalomey and Michael B. Jordan and Ethan Hawke and and 648 00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: and who was gonna win. 649 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 4: You used to, you know, like real actors, not these 650 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 4: fake today. 651 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. You had you you had, you had? 652 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 1: That's pretty. Shallome is a really big star. Is a 653 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: really big star. Michael B. Jordan's are really big. That's 654 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: a pretty He played a pretty good deal. Yeah, well, look, 655 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: I don't think the movie was that great, but he's 656 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: still a big star. It's still it's still something that 657 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: in the past. 658 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: He's a big stary because he's going up against people 659 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,560 Speaker 4: that are just good. 660 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: No, I don't know. Also, he did talk about the 661 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,200 Speaker 1: pallets that didn't have anything to do with it was 662 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,959 Speaker 1: already done. I did just just overall with the with 663 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: the way that there's so much more out there to consume, 664 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 1: the interest level in seeing all these movies and being there. 665 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 1: Because I'll admit now, all the movies I used to 666 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 1: go see when they were nominated, I don't have to 667 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: see anyone. I'm like, Oh, that's gonna Hamlett looks so 668 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: incredibly depressing. I don't need to see that movie, whereas 669 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, I gotta see Hamlet. Jesse Buckley's gonna 670 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: get nominated. Maybe something else gonna happen, like if you're 671 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: something that, like, Okay, you're gonna really depress me. I 672 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 1: don't care, right, I'll subscribe to the Bill maher philosophy 673 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,719 Speaker 1: of no, you know what entertained me, don't make me 674 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: feel bad, don't make me feel bad, don't ben tell 675 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: me this is an important movie. But see that's why 676 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: I don't hang out your dystopian universe entertain me. You 677 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: can still entertain the dystopian now. Ham was you know, 678 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,120 Speaker 1: it's slow starting, but once you get going, you're you're there. 679 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 1: Train Dreams was one of my favorite, and Ethan Hawk 680 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: was great in Blue Moon. But three movies I'm gonna 681 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: guess most people didn't do I do. I think let 682 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: alone go see because I could go see that movie, 683 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: or I could watch Paradise, or I could stream this 684 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: new show, or there's so much out there that the 685 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: just the the overall level of interest has gone down, 686 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: but the lack of of of of competition and feeling 687 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 1: that we have to compete for the oscars. Now like 688 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 1: this generation is not picked that up because it's it's 689 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: not about that anymore. 690 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 4: That's not why their numbers are going to suck. If 691 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 4: they were on every channel, their numbers would be the same. 692 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 4: What do you mean, Well, no, over because overall just 693 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 4: the oscars. If people don't like the oscars, people don't 694 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 4: like the oscars, they're not going to tune in just 695 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 4: because it's the only thing. 696 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I think if I think, 697 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: if you add you had last night there was no 698 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: World Baseball Classic, more people been the same. I think 699 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: a little few, but not a lot. I'm not saying 700 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: a lot. They're they're losing a little bit of the 701 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: audience every year, well because the quality is down, and 702 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: well it's it's not just the quality, because they're still 703 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: making move there's still those people you have to tune 704 00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: into well because they're also doing different things. They're also 705 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: on they're also on streaming shows now, Like I want 706 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,200 Speaker 1: to see Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. I'll go watch 707 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: that movie that was really good, uh with them when 708 00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: they were the cops Inlorida. That was pretty good. Yeah, 709 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,799 Speaker 1: Johanna Taylor was in that. And it's just overall, it's 710 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: it's it's this generation needs to pick up the torch 711 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: for Oscars to stay as competitive and what it was. 712 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: And you go back Oscars in the past, where guys 713 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 1: would look really pissed because they didn't win, and that's 714 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: that era is just not there anymore my generation. No, 715 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: I just mean the I just mean the for gen z, 716 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: the the overall I know, the overall desire of competition, 717 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,919 Speaker 1: of winning and losing at the Oscars is not It's 718 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: more of an appreciation of the art and its appreciation 719 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: of what we can do, an appreciation for other people's careers. 720 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 1: Like Ryan Cooler saying, hey, listen, yeah, I don't want 721 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: to vote because I don't want to I don't want 722 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: to judge some buddy's art. Like I get that, But 723 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: that was never part of what it was, you know, 724 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 1: up until here's a new generation of talent coming in 725 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,080 Speaker 1: and they're always gonna put their new spin on an industry, 726 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: and they're putting the new spin on the Oscars.

Maybe the 824 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: NBA is going to hold a vote at the Board 825 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: of Governors meetings next week to explore adding expansion teams 826 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 1: in Las Vegas and Seattle. Not adding expansion teams, but 827 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: adding them specifically to those cities, Las Vegas and Seattle. 828 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: The two new franchises targeted to start play in the 829 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight twenty nine season. Now there's momentum for this, 830 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,200 Speaker 1: but it's got to get approved. There's a couple of 831 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 1: votes that have to happen. If this does go through, 832 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,040 Speaker 1: Vegas and Seattle per jet to be top eight revenue 833 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,680 Speaker 1: generating cities and teams, which is probably why the NBA 834 00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: is saying, yeah, Las Vegas and Seattle specifically, not someplace else, 835 00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:14,080 Speaker 1: top eight Las Vegas and Seattle revenue producing cities. Just 836 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: in time for that new millionaires tax that's going into 837 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 1: effect in the state of Washington. Let's go, yeah, let's 838 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: nine point nine percent. Let's get it okayed for now 839 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 1: they've had zero. So John Schneider complaining all last week 840 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 1: going to oss free agencies is gonna be a different 841 00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 1: animal if this actually goes through and it's passed through 842 00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: part of the legislature. But huge the SuperSonics return, right 843 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: and when this came out today, I have pretty much 844 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,759 Speaker 1: seen to a person, what a horrible idea this is. 845 00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: You look at the level of play in the game 846 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: right now, you're worried about tanking and all of these things. 847 00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 1: All you're doing is adding two more teams, they're gonna 848 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: be terrible. You're gonna water down the town even further. 849 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,279 Speaker 1: And I understand all of that. I get it. I 850 00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:03,320 Speaker 1: get all of that, But why not Bronnie Pronnie Ronnie. 851 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,000 Speaker 1: I mean he gounna be a number one scorer for 852 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: this dude. It's not like suddenly you're gonna get the NBA. 853 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: You're gonna fix all the issues. Adam Silver is terrible, right, 854 00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,400 Speaker 1: He's terrible for the actual product, on the court product. 855 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,640 Speaker 1: When did the NBA on the court product really take 856 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 1: a dive When Adam Silver stepped in for David Stern, 857 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,480 Speaker 1: That's when the on court product took a dive. Adding 858 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: two teams is not gonna suddenly make it seem that 859 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 1: markedly worse. Just as a if you're sitting right now, 860 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,359 Speaker 1: they're not gonna fix it. It's not gonna fix You're 861 00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,840 Speaker 1: still gonna have teams deciding we don't need to play. 862 00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,279 Speaker 1: We're not making the playoffs, we're tanking. We're preserving our 863 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: position for the draft. What does it matter, right, it 864 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Let's have two more cities you can make 865 00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,239 Speaker 1: money that are excited. I'd be happy for Vegas to 866 00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: get it to get a team. I'd be more than 867 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,760 Speaker 1: happy for Seattle to get a team. Would be awesome 868 00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: for them to get it. You know, after losing to 869 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City so many years ago, this is not gonna 870 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,839 Speaker 1: suddenly be Oh man, the NBA is gonna be even 871 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 1: more unwatchable. Either you think the NBA is unwatchable now 872 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: and it's gonna stay unwatchable, or you don't think it's 873 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:04,719 Speaker 1: unwatchable and you're gonna watch. I mean, I don't see 874 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: where this is suddenly going to be the worst thing 875 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,880 Speaker 1: for the NBA. I mean it, Why not. The NBA 876 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 1: is going through this anyway. They're not gonna fix They're 877 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:13,760 Speaker 1: just gonna try to put band aids on it anyway. 878 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,920 Speaker 1: Why not put two more teams and they're gonna make money, 879 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: spread it out seven to ten billion dollars for the 880 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:26,240 Speaker 1: entry fee, seven to ten billion dollars that gets split 881 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: amongst the teams. They can't vote fast enough to get 882 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: them into the fray. Yeah, it'll disperse talent a little 883 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 1: bit more. Maybe we find some more guys that actually 884 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: get some shots and some playing time that are currently 885 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: buried at the end of benches right that we never see. 886 00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: We talk about it all the time in the NFL 887 00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 1: at some of the skill positions, particularly at the quarterback. 888 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,200 Speaker 1: If you get position, if you get drafted to the 889 00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 1: wrong spot, you never see the light of day. For 890 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 1: Steve Curry, he's excited because he'll never have to even 891 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: think about playing a young player again. Just give me 892 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,759 Speaker 1: all the old guys everybody else to go trying to 893 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: find their career somewhere else. So, uh, there's one place, 894 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:09,080 Speaker 1: but no expansion, especially those two particular markets. Come on, 895 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah. I mean, look, it's gonna be watered 896 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 1: down anyway. They're not gonna solve these big issues. So 897 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: put two teams in. That's gonna make money, and put 898 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: more money in the NBA. People are gonna be interested in. 899 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: Why not go to Vegas? Why knock's out? No stop? 900 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: That's ist champion, New York Knicks to you, my friend. 901 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: Coming up next, live reactions from the World Baseball Classic. 902 00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: We preview the championship tomorrow night, United States and Venezuela
