00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: Too, because you will get to see your heart on display,

63
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 3: perhaps because the opponent is ripping it out. Yes, As

64
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: Arkansas and Arizona get ready to tip off Arkansas Razor.

65
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 3: There you go. I mean, justin Prosper's wearing a pig

66
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 3: on his head.

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you guys are a little bit ahead

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 5: of me, so if it's a close game, you'll be

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 5: giving it away.

70
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: I seriously, my heart.

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 3: Is, wait, how far is this gonna be one of

72
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 3: those where you're like three minutes delayed and then suddenly

73
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: you're ahead and ruining things because we don't do play

74
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: by play on this show.

75
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 4: I'm just I just saw the tip in by Purdue

76
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: to win the game.

77
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 3: So finally catching up, you saw the push in the

78
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: back and the tip in.

79
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: Arnie, what did you causer?

80
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: No, it's a razor?

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 4: Okay, See, well why would I know that.

82
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: I didn't go to school at Arkansas, So why the

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: heck would I know some thing like that.

84
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: You don't know what a causer is. I don't believe

85
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: that at all. Yeah, I think I think you're playing dumb.

86
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you No.

87
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: I think he's making up words here, But I don't

88
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 5: care what it is. I just I just hope we,

89
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 5: you know, can go ahead and pull away from this one.

90
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 5: We're a better team and we can't just choke this

91
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 5: one away. I got my fraternity brothers text to be

92
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 5: like nuts. Everybody's on a text chain. Everybody's watching this.

93
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: It's it's it's just.

94
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 4: Too much to handle. And they may take our coach. Rman, Gosh,

95
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 4: that's really gonna make things.

96
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 5: If they take the coach and we lose this game.

97
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 5: I'm quitting sports radio and I'm gonna fill in for

98
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 5: Clay and Buck. That's I'm gonna do that for that?

99
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Is that what you've decided.

100
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 6: I've decided, Well, you're gonna go full on news and politics, yes,

101
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 6: and get away from the candy store that is sports

102
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 6: talk right now, that would be interest all of these years.

103
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: That would be a call switch.

104
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, give me a call now. Should we raise axes?

105
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 4: You know, we'll do something like that.

106
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: I can tell you this putting that out with a

107
00:04:55,560 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: phone number, there's gonna be crickets, cause I gotta I

108
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 3: think everybody's just going he's really not asking that, right,

109
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: that's not activating me to call Wildcats seven and a

110
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: half point favorites one hundred and sixty six and a half.

111
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: You're over under. We got the Dodgers. Opening Day is underway.

112
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 3: Yamamoto got to work early and often gave up the

113
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 3: two run bomb to per Domo, but amd Paz with

114
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: the big return in a three run homer of his own.

115
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 3: Dodgers now threatening, bases loaded, looking to blow this one open.

116
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: It's currently four to two.

117
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, took the way to one hundred and sixty two

118
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: and oh.

119
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 3: Well, you never can't tell. The long road begins with

120
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 3: that first step. Ring ceremony'll be tomorrow as part of

121
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 3: the broadcast. I know everybody who was excited to see

122
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 3: Clayton Kershaw in a suit as opposed to the twenty

123
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: two that we've seen all these years strikeout a month's

124
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: He retires the side, but not before the Dodgers take

125
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: the lead. We'll see how they advanced. Otani had a

126
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 3: base hit in the first, then a had an awkward moment,

127
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: one of those fall tips off foot hopping around and

128
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: all of that. So we'll keep an eye on that game.

129
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: Illinois and Houston just tipped off. Your wildcat's about to

130
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: So are you gonna go silent? Do I just monologue

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 3: the rest of the way or what? No?

132
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: No, No, I'm good, I got I got the game

133
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 5: on right in front of me.

134
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you're gonna be good for a couple a

135
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: couple of minutes, a couple of hours.

136
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 5: I can keep my on the game and whatever you

137
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 5: want to talk about. We'll keep updates obviously on what's

138
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 5: going on. It's it's gonna be a close game, so

139
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 5: obviously I'm gonna be nervous about this, but I'm good

140
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 5: to go. And uh, you know, I got my eye

141
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 5: on everything, and and whatever you want to hit on first,

142
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 5: let's do it.

143
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, we gotta keep day too. Yeah, well, I mean

144
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: that's the big thing, right Opening Day. Opening night was

145
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: last night the Yankees with the seven nothing win.

146
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 5: People made such a stink about that, by the way,

147
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: about uh you know, ah, how could they have the

148
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 5: one game on Netflix?

149
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: And you know, and then then today was Opening Day.

150
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: I don't really care.

151
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,720
Speaker 5: We've lost tradition anyway, you know, back in my day,

152
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 5: I have to I hate to be the old guy,

153
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 5: but we had with the Reds on a Tuesday.

154
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: Or something like that. But that's the thing, right, the

155
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 3: Reds always had an early morning game and the pomp

156
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 3: and circumstance and the pageantry and Opening Day is the

157
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 3: next two weeks anyway, right, because teams that are starting

158
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 3: on the road, guess what they eventually get to do

159
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: all the the parades and chaos of their own opening day,

160
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: even if it's next Wednesday, Thursday, a week you know thereafter.

161
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: I mean eventually it rolls through. But the consternation of

162
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: folks about oh, where am I gonna find the game?

163
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, spend two seconds searching on the interwebs.

164
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: You've all got you know, voice to text, or you've

165
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: got someone in your life who's you know, savvy on

166
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: a computer and can figure it out, maybe print out

167
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: a schedule for you with the expected TV partners. But

168
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: you know, Netflix with a lot of incoming. We talked

169
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: about it briefly last night. Jared Smith was in with

170
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: me and he got up in arms about you know,

171
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: Netflix and broadcast and advertising their wares, Like that's why

172
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 3: they paid a lot of money for the time all

173
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 3: package to tell you about the shows and events that

174
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: will be part of Netflix.

175
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: If they just the way it goes, if they just

176
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 5: went to the game, we'd be complaining.

177
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 4: Is that all we get. There's no pregame, there's no this.

178
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 5: I mean, they put together a show, they put together,

179
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 5: you know, a whole thing. That's what they pay all

180
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 5: those millions of dollars.

181
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: Right, you cannot like the show. Well, but that's the

182
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: old rule of thumb. Right, it's the Kevin Durant Sports news, entertainment,

183
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 3: life in general. You don't like it, don't watch right.

184
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: It's one of the most used quotes on this show, because, look,

185
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: not everything is for everybody, right. Not every sport is

186
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 3: created equally, not every game within that sport. You might

187
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: be the biggest baseball fan in the world and all

188
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 3: you love is the Yankees, or all you love is

189
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, and if there are two other teams that

190
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: are combatants, you don't care. You're gonna go watch a

191
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: rerun of Beat Bobby Flay, Something's Cooking in My Kitchen,

192
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 3: or the sitcom you loved in the nineties. You're moving on, right,

193
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 3: I can't force you to watch it. If you don't

194
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: like the Olympics, I can't force you to watch you know,

195
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 3: the guys in cross country skiing, I can't do it right.

196
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 3: Same thing here, you know the NCAA tournament. Some folks

197
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: are not you know, fully invested. But for baseball, same thing.

198
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 3: If you didn't like what the Netflix was doing, you

199
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: didn't like Jamis Winston as part of the coverage. Guess

200
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 3: what in between those little packages there was baseball being played.

201
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: So turn the volume off and move on.

202
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 5: For all the talk about opening Day, and we should

203
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 5: have had the one before and then all this today

204
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 5: and all that, And that's the reason why baseball will

205
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 5: eventually have to go to a split season. Imagine eighty

206
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 5: games from now, you had to do it all over again,

207
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 5: another start of the season. This time you get to

208
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 5: do what in the middle of the summer, kids can go.

209
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 5: You know, now the weather's not so great. You know,

210
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: some kids are in school. You get the summertime, you

211
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 5: get to do it all over again. People pack into

212
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 5: the stadiums. The teams that are twenty and a half

213
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 5: games out of first place get the start fresh.

214
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 4: That's why they're gonna go to the split season eventually.

215
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 3: I believe when you want to go back to the

216
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 3: strike season of nineteen eighty one, that's what you're looking

217
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: to do.

218
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 5: But that was the only problem there is the Reds

219
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 5: had the best record in baseball and they didn't make

220
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 5: the playoffs.

221
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: Well, nineteen ninety four you had the Expos in the

222
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 3: White Sox could have met in a World Series. Really well,

223
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 3: they were having. I mean, Frank Thomas was all world right,

224
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: winning back to back MVPs. Eventually the Expos right, obviously

225
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 3: they're they're They're gone. And a couple of years later

226
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: in an All Star game, you could those two well

227
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 3: just like the SuperSonics. Oh yeah, sure, there's a giant

228
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 3: warehouse of all of their stuff that's just waiting to

229
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: be utilized. Really great start here, Illinois and Houston combined

230
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: one for eleven from the field to nothing the score.

231
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 5: But I wasn't even paying attention to that game. I'm

232
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 5: I'm due in all into the Arizona game.

233
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 4: All see what's.

234
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,479
Speaker 3: Going on there? You go, I'm the split screen experience

235
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 3: that you need with that baseball and everything else. But

236
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: we we look at just Opening Day and the race

237
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: to try to de thron the Dodgers resplendent with those

238
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: gold bills on their cap. Today for Opening Day is

239
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 3: a lot of just handwringing about broadcasts and broadcast windows

240
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: and everything else. And it's it's one hundred and sixty

241
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 3: two game slog right, The cost of tickets and everything

242
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 3: else comes into play. You and I have had many

243
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 3: a discussion slash argument of that. You would think. You know,

244
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 3: folks think I'm a multi millionaire or someone's giving me

245
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 3: a lot of tickets I got, I gotten either. I

246
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: tell you I'm a I'm a working stiff in radio.

247
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 3: Pay for my own, my own tickets. When I get

248
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: to go to a game five days a week, I'm

249
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: sitting here talking about said games on air. So you know,

250
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: I got the best seat in the house and they

251
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 3: pay me to yell about it. But all of that

252
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: being said, right, it's it's an entertainment choice, an entertainment vehicle,

253
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: and you decide how much you're going to invest in

254
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 3: your time and your money and your space. Right, And

255
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 3: that's really all it comes down to. Yeah, and it's

256
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: spread out over all these windows and different providers. Everybody

257
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 3: wants a piece of the pie. And for the owners

258
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 3: and for the players, they get fat off it. Right,

259
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: you can complain about it, so you're blue in the face.

260
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: But if another streamer comes up, it's like, why we're

261
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 3: having Wednesday and Thursday games to kick off an NFL season?

262
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 3: Right when we get to week one, it's like, where's

263
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 3: this game Australia? Okay, cool, we'll play your game on Wednesday.

264
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, Baseball used to be the last when

265
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 5: I think, the last bargain when it came to sports,

266
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 5: especially spring training.

267
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 4: That's no longer the case, Mike.

268
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: I've heard nightmare stories about tickets being like eighty or

269
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 5: one hundred dollars. You don't even know who's going to

270
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 5: be in the spring training, and tickets no longer a bargain.

271
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 5: Maybe if you want to sit up in the rafters

272
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 5: and sit up way on top, but it's not quite

273
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 5: what it used to be. When you go to a

274
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 5: Dodger game and you get in the back for like

275
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 5: five or seven dollars, tickets and stuff like that still

276
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 5: longer the bargain. They've had the raised their ticket prices

277
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 5: because salaries have gone up so so much.

278
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 3: Well, but baseball is one of those beautiful games, and

279
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 3: even at Dodger Stadium, like tonight is Opening night. I

280
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: looked at tickets on Monday, and folks will say, wow,

281
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: that's grossly expensive. It's like you could have gotten seats

282
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: through the team's website. The get in was one seventy seven,

283
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: and you say, wow, that's no they were pretty good seats.

284
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 3: And it's opening night for an item that is in

285
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: high demand, right right, right, people think nothing about going

286
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: down to the local insert your chain restaurant here. I

287
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 3: don't want to offend anybody that may or may not

288
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: become a sponsor down the line. But you think nothing

289
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: of going and having your dinner Mom and dad. Don't

290
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 3: even get a beer, you know, you have a couple

291
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,599
Speaker 3: of SODA's and whatever else. You're not getting out of

292
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 3: there for family of four for under a hundred bucks.

293
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 3: No folks do that multiple times in a week without blinking.

294
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: Bringing the credit card.

295
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: That's all I'm just saying, Like for for a lot

296
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: of things day to day, it's like I did just

297
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 3: pay that, pay that. That's fine. Uh, But like baseball

298
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 3: is still an event, right, It's it's like Disneyland here

299
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: in southern California. Folks get up in arms about it.

300
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: It's like it's supposed to be a special place.

301
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of folks.

302
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 3: It's it's a once in a lifetime.

303
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: If you're a Padre fan, probably sucks opening day, you know.

304
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if you're a Padre fan, it's it's

305
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 3: the long chasing and all twelve of you. Well, I

306
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: mean the White Sox are gonna come see the Padres

307
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: in the beginning of May. Guess what, I'm probably gonna

308
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: get to go to a couple of games fairly cheaply.

309
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: But all of it comes down to it's it's supplied

310
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 3: demand and if money is being put back into the

311
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: team like the Dodgers do, then yeah, there's gonna be

312
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: cost to it. Do you do I grouse about a

313
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: forty five dollars parking charge? Sure? Yes, but again yes,

314
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 3: but again it's it's part of the doing business and

315
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 3: in theory that means they've hired enough people to run

316
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: said parking spaces that my car is going to be

317
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: safe and I will too.

318
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: Can it be safe for ten dollars parking spot?

319
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know. You want to cut down the

320
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: workforce that's in there. By the way, That's the only

321
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: really big complaint I have about any of these places,

322

366
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 4: It's so tough.

367
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, psychologically, I am a pretty damning proposition

368
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 3: during my waking hours. I hear I'm pretty harmless when

369
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 3: I've passed out, or so they tell me. At stick

370
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: a genius one where you find them find me over

371
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,359

377
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 3: TV timeout, Arnie can breathe a sigh of relieve. Yeah,

378
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 3: you know, let's let's do it like it's hot yoga.

379
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah good.

380
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: I just want to say that.

381
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 5: You know what bothers me is you worry about two

382
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 5: things coming into the game.

383
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 4: A Cuff is off to a good start of the

384
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 4: guy us seven points.

385
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 5: The Wildcats are missing some foul shots to two of four,

386
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: but they're getting the shots that they wanted.

387
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 4: They've dominated inside, so right now things are looking hopefully

388
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 4: up upbeat.

389
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 5: Well, I got a ten point lead right now, I believe,

390
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 5: so things are looking good.

391
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 3: You're also shooting seventy seven percent from the field. That

392
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: helps double that of the Razorbacks to this point. So yeah,

393
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 3: taking care of business. I will cry the old rule

394
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 3: of thumb, let acuff have his and just shut down.

395
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 5: I will cry if we lose our coach to North Carolina,

396
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 5: I don't think we could lose them to Kansas. But

397
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 5: because I guess it's in his contract, he can't go

398
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 5: to another Big twelve school.

399
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 4: But I mean, if he really wants to go, we

400
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 4: wouldn't hold him back for that.

401
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 3: It's the old rule of thumb. Everything's negotiable if it's

402
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 3: in the contract. They negotiated that, which means what you

403
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 3: go back to the table and say, we want a

404
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: little bit more r to remove, said Claus. Right, it's

405
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: a right, like a negotiation for anything else. You're doing,

406
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: your car, your house, what you get to do on

407
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 3: a Saturday night, what TV show you're gonna sit and

408
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: watch on the couch.

409
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 8: Oh.

410
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 5: You know, if you went back twenty years ago and

411
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 5: if you told me Kansas and North Carolina had coaching

412
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: openings in basketball, that would engulf the sports world for.

413
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 4: Weeks, maybe months. That's how big those jobs.

414
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 5: I mean, there's still big jobs, but obviously not a

415
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 5: as big as it used to be.

416
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: I guess, well, but I mean I think from the

417
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: perspective of just the large of the sport, right, I'm

418
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 3: not saying that college basketball is by any any means

419
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: a small institution, but it's changed right in terms of,

420
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: you know, being out front and center. Like the last

421
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, we've talked a lot about these veteran

422
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 3: coaches and the age, how we've got a lot of

423
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 3: the veterans that are still taking care of business here

424
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: into the tournament and late. But I don't know if

425
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: on the grand sports landscape it holds that same juice.

426
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 3: A sports calendar has changed so much too, and this

427
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 3: year in particular, once you add the Olympics and the

428
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic. Again, maybe niche for and compartmentalized to

429
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 3: a degree, but it pushed some of the mainstream focus

430
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: of college buckets out another couple of weeks, Like we

431
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 3: didn't gravitate to it. It's like, hey, it's Selection Sunday,

432
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 3: let's go right.

433
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 5: No, look, college basketball is all about March. But but

434
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 5: let's let's make this example here. Take any two teams

435
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 5: playing a non conference game, the two best teams out there,

436
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 5: whether it's Arizona Duke, Duke Michigan, Arizona Michigan, it doesn't

437
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 5: make Now you're.

438
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: Gonna keep saying Arizona them Area, No, no, No.

439
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 4: That doesn't make it evince.

440
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 5: Any two teams you want to take and let's say

441
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 5: they were playing okay, if they're playing in somebody's arena,

442
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: of the game would sell out. It'd be the game

443
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 5: of the week and we'd watch it, but it wouldn't

444
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: be that big of a deal. Not like when like

445
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 5: UCLA played what was it used in in the Astrodome

446
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: and you had like sixty thousand people going crazy for

447
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 5: a regular season game.

448
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 4: Those days are over. That's never gonna happen again.

449
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: No, but you do still have those matchups and those

450
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 3: those moments that can come together. Part of it is, uh,

451
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 3: the stopping the transient nature of players, and that's not.

452
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 4: Too well, that's not gonna happen, no, no, but.

453
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: But that But that's part of the problem is that

454
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: you're right, Like, as much as I may love a coach,

455
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: I'm not necessarily watching a game to watch Tom Izzo

456
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 3: go up and down a sideline, Right. I want to

457
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: see what recruits. It was only a three years, right,

458
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: but you still had three years most guys on a

459
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 3: run up and the guys that were one and done

460
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: continue to be one and done. It's one of the

461
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: reasons that we have the Tankathon uh, going on one

462
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 3: of my favorite websites, by the way, in terms of

463
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 3: you know, ferreting out different information and strength to schedule

464
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 3: and all that stuff. But it's why in the NBA,

465
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 3: because we have eight or nine freshmen that we're looking at,

466
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 3: going these guys are actually players, right, not Hey, if

467
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: I don't get that first or second guy, I'm wishing, wanting,

468
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 3: hoping that everything's built around Like, no, you got a

469
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: stack of guys that, in theory can be number one

470
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: or number two on squads. So we get what is

471
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: going on in the NBA. In theory that should translate

472
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: to more love for college buckets. And we've seen we've

473
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 3: seen some uptick and ratings for the tournament. But all

474
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: that said, Man, I heard an interview with Mick Cronin here,

475
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: and you know, you take Mick with a grain of sault.

476
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: I think he's always a great So yeah, he's always well, but.

477
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: He's over the top. But he was he was on

478
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 3: with our guys Petros and Money here in Los Angeles,

479
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: and he was just talking about the fact that he's

480
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 3: already into not only is he recruiting ahead, but he's

481
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: got to convince everybody else to stay right, exactly right,

482
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: And that's where the coaching job. It's always been that way,

483
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 3: but it's now more pronounced when you start putting dollars

484
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: to it, as opposed to Okay, something may be happening

485
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 3: under the under the table, and we all know, uh,

486
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 3: or at least presume where a lot of bodies are buried.

487
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 3: But where we sit now, it becomes the well, this

488
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 3: point guard got five million. I'm at least as good

489
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: as him, So if you want me to stay, you've

490
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: got a match. Right.

491
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 5: It's amazing where these salaries are gone. And it's just

492
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 5: I'd never thought they would get to something like this.

493
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 5: I never in my wildest dreams when we started this

494
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 5: that it would get to this so quickly too. It's

495
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 5: it's just amazing.

496
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 3: It's a multi billion dollar absolutely right. And it's like

497
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 3: all these others. You know, when players say the NFL

498
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 3: to take them in and we start looking at the

499
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 3: inevitability of an eighteenth game on the schedule, Arnie, you know,

500
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 3: there'll be some grousing and there'll be some well they

501
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 3: don't care about. It's like, okay, then you guys really

502
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 3: need to fight because you get fifty percent almost on

503
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 3: the dollar.

504
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 5: Right, they get extrabody, Like for playing on Thursday night,

505
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 5: they get an extra two hundred thousand dollars or something.

506
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: Right, there's extra cash incentives to it all.

507
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 4: So they like that.

508
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, it comes into play. Now, what's curious. And I

509
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 3: don't know how much you and Plank in your in

510
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,360
Speaker 3: your World Sunday nights here on Fox.

511
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 4: Sports coveted Sunday nights.

512
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: No, but look, it's a great slot in the fall

513
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: obviously actually year round. Right you're getting on as games

514
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: are ending or you're wrapping up a big you know,

515
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: football Sunday and then grabbing some of the college stuff

516
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 3: when you're grousing about Arizona failing on the football field.

517
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 3: But that to say, it's the you know, there's a

518
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: lot of money rolling on and in Seattle right now.

519
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 3: One of the things John Schneider was talking about is, Hey,

520
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: they're looking at proposing and implementing a millionaire's tax, where suddenly,

521
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 3: if you're making a million bucks, they want nine point

522
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: nine percent right right now, there's no state income tax, so.

523
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 4: Right away when they hear that, like they're doing in

524
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 4: New York.

525
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 3: But let's just keep it with the athletes for now, don't. Look,

526
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: you want to go do the clay and buck thing,

527
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 3: You go do that. We're not doing that here. I'm

528
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 3: just saying like, if suddenly it goes from wait, I

529
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 3: go sign there, they've got good infrastructure, whatever, I get

530
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 3: to keep that extra ten percent of my money, which

531
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: over the course a professional athletes contract could be tens

532
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars. Then it changes the price of poker,

533
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,479
Speaker 3: and it does the same thing here, the trickle down

534
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: effect when we're talking about the millions when you're recruiting

535
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 3: these players, that's a consideration that came up all to

536
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 3: reel too fast.

537
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 5: You know, if you're gonna take it that far, then

538
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 5: you might as well say some players sign based on

539
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 5: division because you have to pay tax on the states

540
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 5: that you go to when teams, so.

541
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: That absolutely as you move around, like, it's not just

542
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 3: a consideration of am I gonna get playing time? To

543
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 3: have an opportunity? I mean, that's the most weight, right.

544
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 3: If we're gonna do the old hey, let's assign the

545
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 3: slivers of a pie. Uh, that's still gonna take up

546
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 3: most of it, right, right?

547
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: Am I gonna have.

548
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 3: The opportunity to shine? Is the lineup good around me,

549
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 3: regardless of sport. Right, are we contending? Am I winning?

550
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 3: Which hopefully there's still a lot of you that wants

551
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 3: to win. But let's let's call it what it is.

552
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 3: You got a very short window by which to capitalize

553
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 3: and make your bank. So all of those considerations come

554
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: in and back to college basketball, You're you're trying to

555
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 3: get as much as you can because there an't there's

556
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,239
Speaker 3: not a lot of slots in the NBA. Even if

557
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 3: they add two more teams, I in Vegas and Seattle,

558
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: as it's presumed those are gonna be the cities. I mean,

559
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 3: that's some more jobs. That's all fine and good, but

560
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 3: you're still talking about a window where a very few

561
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 3: select players make crazy money and then it's the trickle

562
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: down from there. And I'm not crying. Poor fronty of

563
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 3: them talk about the decision making process of how moving

564
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,880
Speaker 3: you know, you say, wow, you know you're moving from

565
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 3: there to there. It's kind of a lateral move. Well,

566
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 3: if they give me an extra one hundred grand, and

567
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: I know there's no chance in hell I'm ever making

568
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 3: the league. That one hundred grand really plays on a

569
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 3: whole other level, doesn't it.

570
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 4: Oh, absolutely, one hundred percent.

571
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 5: And by the way, you'll have to figure out about

572
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 5: something with the times because the two West Coast teams

573
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 5: that you've added, nobody's gonna watch it on the East

574
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,720
Speaker 5: Coast unless you figure.

575
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 4: Something out how to you know, highlight them.

576
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 5: So you're gonna have to do something about the times

577
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 5: for the West Coast games.

578
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, you'll have some reorganization, right and reallocation,

579
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: and teams may have to go like a town hall

580
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 3: meeting and new divisions. They need to stay in that

581
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 3: division or conference, because let's face it, you you build

582
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: squads based on what you're competing against. So if suddenly, hey,

583
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna go to the Western Conference, it's a much

584
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 3: different animal than the East is right now. Right, So

585
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 3: you've got a couple of teams that you compete against

586
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: in the East, what Detroit's built and and what the

587
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,640
Speaker 3: your knicks are, and and then you roll from there.

588
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 3: Everybody else is good, maybe not great, whereas in the

589
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 3: West you're you're pretty deep down to six seven teams.

590
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 3: So uh, and I did not do that purposefully. As

591
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: soon as that left my lips like a swear jar.

592
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: If I say those two numbers together, totally unintentional. Uh

593
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 3: but yeah, we'll talk more about the college and we have.

594
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 4: To get into we have to get into what happened

595
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 4: to Nebraska.

596
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you're only four people on the court.

597
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: That is insane, you.

598
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 3: Know, leading to that, So why don't we go to

599
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: it now? Okay, one of the crazy moments in the

600
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 3: Iowa win inevitably, inevitably, invariably seventy seven to seventy one.

601
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: The mayor might be losing his bid for reelection after

602
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 3: this one. He's trying to fire it technology there you.

603
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Put all that. Look at this pass. Oh my goodness

604
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 2: for Gars what happened?

605
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 9: Well, that was a major defensive breakdown there.

606
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: Well, they just don't guard ful Garis and he's waving

607
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 2: for it.

608
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: How about the vision there buked in jail trying to.

609
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 2: Get back in the play.

610
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 9: Wait a minute, I think Nebraska only had four defenders

611
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 9: on the floor. They did ring mass Is not on

612
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 9: the floor, Nebraska, that is a major breakdown. They didn't

613
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 9: even have five guys on the floor when Iowa was

614
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 9: in battle.

615
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 2: That you can't match up.

616
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 3: Like that, TBS CBS on the call coverage, Well, he

617
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: got up late, he got up late.

618
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: And when coach says anything, when not, when coach screams that,

619
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: not one player says, hey, we need a fifth out,

620
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 5: yere not nobody says nothing.

621
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: Well, because you can see mass sprinting to the scorers

622
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 3: table as the ball is inbounded right right, So it's

623
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: like trying to get that time out in the last

624
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 3: second that we've seen in other games in the tournament.

625
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: You just at that point just run on right, get.

626
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: Your get your technical file, because you didn't properly check

627
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 3: in at the scorers table. Either either way, you get

628
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: the breakaway and one uh yeah, a rink mast that

629
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: you call it out, whether it was the spotter or

630
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 3: the guys uh calling the game that noticed it, uh,

631
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: certainly on replay it's the subruter film of wait, I'm

632
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: supposed to be out there kind of thing. It was

633
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: a three point guy running off onto a football field

634
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 3: the same way it's like.

635
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 4: Wait, like a three point game at that point they

636
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 4: made that it.

637
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: Was seventy one sixty eight. That made it seventy three

638
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 3: sixty eight. It's just funny once again that man vulgaris

639
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: in the center of the action, just like he was

640
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 3: in prior rounds. We've got an update on NBA college buckets,

641
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: a full slate of Major League Baseball. All of these

642
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 3: great things brought to us by the one and only

643
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: Monte Malagas.

644
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 4: It's Monsey Fellas. What a night.

645
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 8: So much going on, including US Opening Day baseball. Let's

646
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 8: start with the Sweet sixteen action, because it has been

647
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 8: a rough offensive outing for three seed Illinois and two

648
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 8: seed Houston. In this one, Illinois just hit a three,

649
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 8: so they have taken a lead bigger than they had,

650
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 8: but they're only up twenty one to fourteen against Houston

651
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 8: with four minutes to go in the first half. Last

652
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 8: I checked, they were shoot thirty percent thirty eight percent

653
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 8: from the field for Illinois, while the Cougars are shooting

654
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 8: twenty four percent from the field. This is not what

655
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 8: you want to come out for a Sweet sixteen matchup

656
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 8: like this one. The other one going on right now

657
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 8: between four seed Arkansas and one seed Arizona. Arizona is

658
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 8: up thirty eight to twenty seven with about five and

659
00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 8: a half minutes to go in the first half.

660
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: But the two games that wrapped up.

661
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 8: They were nail biders really threw in through. Two seed

662
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 8: per Due survived with the Tippin in the final seconds

663
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 8: one seventy ninety to seventy seven against eleven seed Texas.

664
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 8: The boiler Makers are still dancing. They will be headed

665
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 8: to their seventh Elite Eight appearance and.

666
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: Ninth seed Iowa.

667

Speaker 8: They're still dancing. They defeated for seed Nebraska seventy seven

668

669
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 8: the first time since nineteen eighty seven. No on the

671
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,840

Speaker 8: the Mets taking down the Pirates today. Eleven to seven

690
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 8: was the final score. Paul Skins didn't even make it

691
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,280

694
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 8: Sox fourteen to two without outfielder Jackson Cheerio, who's gonna

695
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,920

Speaker 3: through seventy seven seventy one your final boiler Makers with

780
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: a last second tip in to take down Texas seventy

781
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 3: nine seventy seven. So a couple of Big ten teams

782
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 3: threw one in action with a bit of a lead

783
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 3: right now, but already in Monci had interrup date the

784
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:29,760
Speaker 3: Tom Brady story, which right wrapped attention already an owner,

785
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 3: already a broadcaster, opening trading card shops all over the place.

786
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,840
Speaker 3: And then this last weekend we watched them in the

787
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 3: Flag Football Festival that actually drew about two thirds what

788
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 3: was it, about six hundred and fifty thousand, seven hundred

789
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 3: thousand viewers, So I don't know what the expectations were.

790
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 3: So we're like, ah, there was a lot of promotion

791
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 3: and that's all they got. It's like there's a lot

792
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 3: of shows and a lot of things that do a

793
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 3: lot of promoting that don't come close. There was like

794
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 3: four people there. Yeah, but they had a hell of

795
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 3: a time because they got to watch Logan, Paul and

796
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 3: Brady start. Because I mean that's the other thing. Brady's

797
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: probably gonna show up at WrestleMania and Vegas next month.

798
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: So all of that to say, he was slinging it

799
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 3: pretty good. And now you have this report that there

800
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 3: was a little bit of an inquiry of possibly coming back,

801
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 3: but with interest in the team. I mean, I guess

802
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 3: you could put that in a holding pattern or escrow.

803
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 3: I think there's probably some legality where he could he

804
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 3: could dip out of that and become the mentor in

805
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: the locker room to Mendoza.

806
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 5: We think you know, Mike, I told Plank about a

807
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 5: year ago, maybe maybe six months ago, I go I

808
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 5: keep hearing that Brady wanted the comme out of retirement.

809
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 5: We were talking about this on the air Sega that

810
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 5: he wanted to He's like, oh, come on, it's crazy.

811
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 5: He's not coming out. He's too old. Why wouldn't the

812
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 5: NFL want something like that. That's what I don't understand.

813
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:53,080
Speaker 5: Just because he was part owner or something. I not

814
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 5: quite understanding why they would frown on something like that.

815
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's kind of like the hubbub over

816
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 3: him being a broadcast master and being in meetings, and

817
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 3: that was supposed to give you a competitive advantage, right,

818
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 3: which I say, c Raiders twenty twenty five doesn't mean

819
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: that eventually that doesn't tip the other way. But all

820
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 3: of that, I how deep are you really getting in

821
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 3: some of those production meetings? That's really what I want

822
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: to know. Is it like you're being grilled under the

823
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 3: lights like Sipplewitz and NYPD Blues getting after you. Yeah,

824
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 3: you're gonna get it. But for Brady, you know, that

825
00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 3: was the recent interview with CNBC's Happily Retired and all

826
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 3: that stuff, but that the league didn't necessarily like the

827
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 3: even scoping around. I remember the state of quarterbacking is

828
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 3: such and the rules are at this point. It's not

829
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 3: like he was ever a big runner, right.

830
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 4: The movie that was a great movie.

831
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 3: Come on, did you going on ward?

832
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 8: Baby?

833
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 3: Way back in the day.

834
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 4: He was the owner and you got the play quarterback

835
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 4: for a little bit.

836
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 3: What are you going back to the movies? What was

837
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 3: that nineteen seventy one.

838
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 4: Or Oie movie.

839
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 5: I know we're a guy who owned the football team

840
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 5: and he was the quarterback. But my thing is this,

841
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 5: it would have been a great story. We would have

842
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 5: loved it. We would have eaten it up. Could you

843
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 5: imagine Tom Brady's first game back? What kind of ratings

844
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 5: that would have bought in? It would have been insane?

845
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 3: Turns forty nine in August. I don't know. You sign

846
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 3: me up for it as you roll through, It's the

847
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 3: Jason Smith Show with Baby Carmen Arnie Spandier in for

848
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,799

849
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 3: the odds and ends of the Major League Baseball go

00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 3: around and Paul skiing. Should we be concerned
