Phone calls will get to those 5 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,239 Speaker 1: coming up here in a moment. USFL makes history with 6 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: a special opening night. Is the Birmingham Stallions Face the 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: New Jersey General's USFL kicks off Saturday at seven thirty 8 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: Eastern on NBC and Peacock Seaton. Poll question from the 9 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: first two hours, Well, Dan, we've actually run with a 10 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,959 Speaker 1: bunch of them. Oh here, and if you remember, we 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: were doing softer or smart? Okay, So if we go 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: back to the first hour, we did pauling Clayton Kershaw 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: was more soft or smart? Right now, seventy percent of 14 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: the audience calling it soft? Okay. We have sitting Zion 15 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: Williamson whilst allowing him to dunk a pregame is more 16 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: smarter soft? Do you want to guess how that's going? 17 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. Eighty eight percent saying soft? Okay, I'm 18 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: not playing Ben Simmons is more smart or soft? I 19 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: have no idea that would be sixty three percent soft. 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: We got a little bit of a trend going here. 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: I got one more for you, Okay, Baker Mayfield's interview 22 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: was more smart or soft? That also seventy two percent 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: of the audience calling that soft. All right, let me 24 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: get a couple of phone calls. People have been on 25 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: hold talking about Clayton Kershaw for most of the show 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: so far that he was pulled after seven innings with 27 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: a perfect game. By the way, this is what Clayton 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: Kershaw had to say after being pulled in Minnesota. Yeah, 29 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: I mean I knew going in that my pitch a 30 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: count wasn't going to be one hundred, let alone, you know, 31 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: from nine or whatever. So it's a hard thing to 32 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: do to have to come out of a game when 33 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: you're doing that. But like I said, we're here to 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: win and that this was the right choice, all right. 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: Prior to that start, the last one was October first, 36 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: and he left with a forearm discomfort, and that was 37 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: the same injury that kept him on the injured list 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: from July fourth through September the twelfth. George in Alabama, Hi, George, 39 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Hey guys, So I umpired in 40 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Little League for about twenty years and I think what 41 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: we're seeing in baseball nowadays is a combination of a 42 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: lot of strain put on the arms at the smallest 43 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: level of competition. So you have these guys now that 44 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,679 Speaker 1: are more throwers than pitchers, but they're learning to throw 45 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: a curveball before their arm is fully developed. They're not 46 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: properly getting their arm warmed up before they go throw 47 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: seventy five eighty pitches at eleven and twelve years old. Also, 48 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: they're playing more games now then some you know colleges 49 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: and you know minor league teams. They're playing every weekend 50 00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: from February to November in these travel ball tournaments. Some kids. Remember, 51 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: I was like, I would guestimate they're throwing anywhere from 52 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: two hundred to three hundred pitches in a week, you know, 53 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: which is is astronomical for a nine or ten year 54 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,119 Speaker 1: old kid. And I think that's, you know, what we're 55 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 1: seeing nowadays, because travel ball is so popular, we are 56 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: seeing these guys arms that are just dead by the 57 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: time they get to the major leagues. Well, and also 58 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: the philosophy, thank you, George, is throw as hard as 59 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: you can for as long as you can. Then get 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: Tommy John surgery Johnny Bench actually battered against Tommy john 61 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer former Cincinnai reg ketcher joining us 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: on this topic, Johnny, what role would you have played. 63 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: Let's say you got somebody thrown a perfect game, and you, 64 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: being the catcher, you go out to the mound. Could 65 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: you have done anything to keep your pitcher? Could you 66 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: have done anything to keep Clayton Kershaw in the game. Well, 67 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: I think, first of all, Dan, it's early in the season. 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: I think we looked back at Johan Santana and that 69 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: basically ended his career. So, I mean, what's all the 70 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 1: big deal about the fact that got a perfect game. 71 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: We're in the second week of baseball, and the fact 72 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: that this guy has to pitch in September October, I 73 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: think is more important than all of this and the 74 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: arm trouble he's had, the back trouble. He's ad. You know, 75 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: he's going to extend the effort and the eighth the 76 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: ninth inning. If he gets through the eighth, he's going 77 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: to go out and try to throw harder and smarter. 78 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: In the ninth inning, I'm gonna try to snap off 79 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: the curveball hard and slider everything else. All he needs 80 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: is one tweek, there goes down. He's out for a month. 81 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: I think it's just way too smart for us for 82 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: them to not take him out. I think it was 83 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: just the right choice. And by the way, Hi Dad, 84 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: Hi buddy, I thought you would go old school on me. 85 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: You know that you gotta be tough guy, and you know, 86 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: make history. You got a chance for a perfect game. 87 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: You the king of analytics, and saying how many pitches 88 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: we've thrown, you know, and how many numbers of rotations 89 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: that it was we have now the rotation period of it, 90 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: and how many But time to spinner was going on 91 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: at nine for a good curveball, eleven for a really 92 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: good curveball, and a great curveball would be thirteen rotations. 93 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: So if we got the rotational level down and we 94 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 1: know that now he's down at eleven a quarter and 95 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: down from eleven and a half, which is a very 96 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: important statistic. I think in our lives, where's my bobble here? 97 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: I keep looking, Uh, Fritzie's got it, probably on his desk. 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: I think Fritzie's got it back there. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 99 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: we got your bobble ahead. Um do you never caught 100 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: a perfect game? You caught no hitter. Oh sure, bring 101 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: that up again. I mean, here we go with that. 102 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: I didn't call a perfect game. I did caught a 103 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: no hitter. I caught a no here. Jim Maloney as 104 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: good or right hander has ever pitched in the game. 105 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: Nobody will ever bring that up. But he was just Houston, 106 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: it was. And then they turned around and Don Willson 107 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 1: the next night. Very good, you're about it. But at 108 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: the game. I was at the Ken Holtzman game. Oh thanks. 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: How about Rick Wise? I was at that game. He 110 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: had two home runs. He threw hit against the reds 111 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: um and they didn't want to take him out because 112 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: of his bat. They wanted to bat. But you know, 113 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: we get caught up in the pitch count. Now, m 114 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Kershaw is a pitcher. There are a lot of throwers 115 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: and throwers, I understand pitch count. With a pitcher, it's 116 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: a little bit different. And I agree with you. It's 117 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. It's his first start since last October. And 118 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: although I wonder if they had been in Los Angeles. 119 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: Johnny forty thousand, forty five thousand, sunny weather, seventy five degrees. 120 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: I think Dave Roberts reconsiders leaving them in. He might, 121 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 1: he might, but I think he's too valuable to that 122 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: organization right now. Yeah. I mean they lost Sirs did 123 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: the Mets. They did a couple of things they've had 124 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: to do with the Bueller's sound and everything else. We know, 125 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 1: yours and all the people and everything else. They got 126 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: a great pitching staff, but you're not gonna you can 127 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: you can't win it in the first two weeks of 128 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: the season. And the fact that you need you need 129 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: Clayton back there. I know, it was probably a disappointing 130 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: thing for him. He is the competitor that we know 131 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: that he probably wanted to stay and he probably you know, 132 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, he said, hey, I want to stay in, 133 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: And it just doesn't make any sense. I mean, I 134 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: just can't take an arm and the money that they're 135 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: paying him, and they're going to take him out at 136 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: the first twins anyway. But I just, you know, but 137 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: when Johan Santana's name came up, and Bobby's sitting here 138 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: telling me, hey, Johan Santana's career was ended because he 139 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: tried to pitch the perfect game. But you look back 140 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: and what was it about those pitchers that you grew 141 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: up facing that they pitched, they completed games, They didn't 142 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: have armed troubles like these guys do. Now, why is 143 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: that we know more? We know more. We've got MRIs 144 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: to tell you, and we've got trainers. We've got fourteen 145 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: trainers with thirteen coaches. We've got everybody to'll tell you 146 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: that we may have a little strand missing here in 147 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: the muscle dang, and the fiber may have gone down 148 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: and everything else. Jim Maloney threw a no hitter in 149 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: Chicago ten ending no hitter. He threw one hundred and 150 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: eighty seven pitches. Well, he walked en hit won, but 151 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: that's beside the point. But one hundred and eighty seven pitches, 152 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: Nolan Ryan, everything else. You know, it's now the mentality. 153 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: We've got it. We've we've got there's there's somebody with 154 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: a some kind of electronic thing that will tell you 155 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: that if he throws more than this, he is going 156 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: to be, you know, more prone to entries, would mean 157 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: more pony. It's like you if you talked on the 158 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: radio for eight hours, would you have your vocal cords 159 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: and where they do it? And then would Fritzie take 160 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: you out of the chair. I mean, you know, give 161 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: them a break. I could have a word count. I'd 162 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: be on a word count, Johnny. Yeah, but you don't 163 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: even go soft or safe or strong whatever that was. 164 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't know what that soft thing. They were softball 165 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: questions to begin with. But do we need to go 166 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: with electronics to hide the signs down in baseball? What 167 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: do you think of the modern technology for catchers? I 168 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: think it's cool, you know, I've always thought it would 169 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: be a great idea to have that happened to, you know, 170 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: and of course the chance of getting crossed up is 171 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: a lot less. But I think Bobby brought up a 172 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: great point was the fact that what happens when the 173 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: reliever comes in? Do you re you know, do you 174 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: have to go to our to go to code two, 175 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: go to code three, to go to number three? How 176 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: do we pitch because he's doing different signs, but it's 177 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: still an inside fastball or a splitter or whatever. I 178 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: don't know if those things are communicating. I saw something 179 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: on Senseil the other day that he made a catch 180 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: and he said because he had the sensor, he was 181 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: able to adjust to what the pitch was going to 182 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: be and get that extra step jump that got him 183 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: to the ball because he knew with him throwing hard, 184 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: it was going to be more tendency to hit the 185 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: right center with the breaking ball than he was going 186 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: to have to shave towards left. So it was kind 187 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: of interesting to hear that part of it. And I 188 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: think that in itself is a pretty good play. And yeah, 189 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: I think the stuff, you know, sign stealing, nobody's ever 190 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: going to be safe from it because I've got people 191 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: and wireless right now trying to get all the signs. 192 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,719 Speaker 1: I'm trying to do it new technology. What was your 193 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: reaction to the Reds president Bob Castellini's comments about, you know, 194 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: the Reds fans, you know, what are you going to do? 195 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 1: You know, we could move to France, Chice here, you know, 196 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: away from Cincinnati. Well, I was part of the ownership, 197 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: a new ownership that wanted to buy the ball club 198 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: from W. J. Williams back in the early eighties, and 199 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: we were part of a guy named Abray Smith out 200 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: of Tulsa, Oklahoma. He owned a Louisville ball club which 201 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: was the Triple A affiliate of the Reds, and he 202 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: proposed to buy the Reds and I was part of 203 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,720 Speaker 1: that ownership possibility, and W. J. Williams says, well, they'll sell, 204 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: they'll move it. They'll move it. That's always been the 205 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: call of everything that's ever been done, any new ownership. 206 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: They'll move it. If somebody buys it, they'll move the town, 207 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: they'll move the team. They'll move the team. And that's 208 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: always been the battle cry, I think Phil obviously there 209 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: was an article written in the newspaper. There's some couple 210 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: of billboards up saying, you know, Bob maybe should sell 211 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: the team and everything else. It's a shame because his 212 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: passion is second to none for that talent and for 213 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: that ball club, but he hasn't been able to get 214 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: the winner that he wants or the city wants. And 215 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: so Phil put his you know, had a little bit 216 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: of a it was a little testy. He didn't like 217 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: the article that was written. He wanted to protect his dad, 218 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: he wanted to protect his family. He thinks they're doing 219 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: a great job. So he came out and then he 220 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: came back on the radio a couple of times and 221 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: trying to get that sort of soothed over. But it's 222 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: it's just the normal thing that goes on. I mean, 223 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: we had forty three thousand for opening day, and you know, 224 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: we had a lot of empty seats posing as people yesterday, 225 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: so they just, uh, they're they're trying. Obviously. When when 226 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: they let Winker go, we know that Sonny Gray was fine, 227 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: light that that was okay because we've got some young 228 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: arms that need to look Ladello, we got green. We've 229 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: got some people that need an opportunity to pitch if 230 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: they're ever going to do it. But you know, you 231 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: can't sign Castiano's you can't. You know, Winker was going 232 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: to be coming up with a big contract. They felt 233 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 1: like simplon to play in center field, and they're somewhat 234 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: happy with what they've got and they're going to hopefully 235 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: have to prove it. It's good to talk to us always, Johnny. 236 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Thanks for Johnny pleasure, my friend. Now, are you feeling okay? 237 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 1: Feeling great? Feeling great? But I could probably give you 238 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,959 Speaker 1: about eighty two eighty three pitches? Nice? Yeah, Well, somebody's 239 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to help me squat? Can I just they said, 240 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: are you gonna squat today? I'm catching the first pitch 241 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: of the high school game here today. My boys go 242 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: to and they said, are you going to squat, and 243 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: I said, up, I could squat, I'd be making fifteen million. Here. 244 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: You can't get back up, though I know I was. 245 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: I was thinking about making a comeback, but a pull 246 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: the muscle vacuum and the other day and I'm really 247 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: set back. So enjoy. Thank you, Thank you, buddy. That's 248 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 1: Johnny Bench, Hall of Famer, Reds catcher, fourteen time All Star. Yes, 249 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: how great is it? We could just call it Johnny 250 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,719 Speaker 1: Bench whatever you want. Well me, Fritzie bothers him all 251 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: the time. I love that. You told me when I 252 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: was nine years old, Johnny Bench would be like, hey, johnnybody, 253 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: I know you love him more than you. He's a 254 00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: beloved national sports figure. Yes, if you weren't a Reds fan, 255 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: yes he is, Yes he is. That's great. You know 256 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: what happens with the fans is that, you know, they 257 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: do the math where they go, Okay, how much money 258 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: are you getting from baseball? And how much local revenue 259 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: do you get? TV contract radio contracts? They sort of 260 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: you know, they can figure this out. They're not seeing 261 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: the books. But then they're going, okay, how much profit 262 00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:13,040 Speaker 1: are the Reds making eighty million, one hundred million? How 263 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: much do you need to make and how much can 264 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 1: you invest in your team? I think that's what it 265 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: comes down to. I'd like to know what the Reds 266 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: are making, what is their profit? And look, they have 267 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 1: every right to have a profit as the owners and shareholders. 268 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: I understand that, but if you're a fan, you just 269 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: want to know how much money are you going to 270 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 1: put in here as opposed to how much are you making? 271 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: And not everybody's a billionaire. I don't think that Castellini 272 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: is a billionaire. I think he's probably got a half 273 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,959 Speaker 1: a billion something like that, I believe, or at least 274 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: those are the numbers I saw. But as you know, 275 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: as a fan, you just want to know are you 276 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: putting money back into the team, and how much are 277 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: you putting back into the team? In their payroll, they're 278 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: probably they're not midway. They're probably in the twenties as 279 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: far as their payroll compared to other teams. Yeah, Paulling, 280 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: I got double check this, but I got the Reds 281 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: around like seventeen, and okay, I was gonna say, are 282 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 1: they twenty first in the league in payroll? All right, 283 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: so they're about halfway there, But you know, we want 284 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: to know how much you're making, or at least how 285 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: much you're putting in. You know, the Bengals were for 286 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: years famously cheap. You know, didn't have an outdoor practice facility. 287 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they were just they were making money. But 288 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 1: you got to reinvest that money too in your product, 289 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: because at some point you wake up and you go, wait, 290 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: fans aren't coming to the ballpark. Yeah. Polling, I've got 291 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: all the payrolls for this year, and the top teams 292 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: are who you'd expect, The Dodgers, the Metsy, Yankees, the 293 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: Red Sox, the San Diego Padres had the fifth highest 294 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: payroll for the twenty twenty two season. Does that feel 295 00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: like a large, big supermarket, like huge? No, but they 296 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: invested in you know, Machado. There they're payrolls two nine million, 297 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: that's fifth in the league. Yeah, that's all surprising. Yeah, well, 298 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: how much of that is wrapped up in two players? 299 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: The Orioles are forty four million. That's like, that's two 300 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million less than the Dodgers. Yeah, and 301 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: that's a great baseball town. Holy cow, Jeff Bezos has 302 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: that in his wallet right now. By the way, just 303 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: see this story on Elon Musk. He offered to buy 304 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: Twitter for forty one billion dollars, so he was he 305 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: rejected a seat on the company's board, but he wanted 306 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: to buy Twitter for forty one billion dollars. Man, the 307 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: fact that he's like one hundred billion dollars richer than 308 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos right now, is I know crazy? Would you 309 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: want to have beers with Elon Musk or Bill Belichick? Oh? 310 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: Or you quit drinking I quit drinking instead. Um, I don't. 311 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I would connect with Elon Musk. 312 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if we would, we wouldn't be on 313 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: the same wave link. Well, I wouldn't be on the 314 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: same wave link with Belichick. I'd quit drinking. But if 315 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: I had to, I'd go out with Belichick just to 316 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: see if we're having plural beers and he's got to 317 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: keep up with me. Then I might get some information 318 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: onto flake gate and spygate. Yeah. Yeah, how many beers 319 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: in do you ask about why Malcolm Butler didn't play 320 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: that I do a sake bomb with him, I think 321 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: at that point, And then I did a sake bomb 322 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: the other night, then my wife's birthday, and uh, I'm 323 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: with some people and they're like sake bombs, and I go, 324 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: I don't think so, and then they're like brought out saki. 325 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: They put the chopsticks up on the on the beer 326 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 1: and you bang the table and the plops in and 327 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: then you fire away.

Well, I thought our defense was outstanding 366 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: last night. From start defense, we really put them in 367 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: uncomfortable situations last night. So I thought from a from 368 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: a defensive standpoint, we really put our stamp on that game, 369 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: and it really generated a lot of easy offense for us, 370 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,120 Speaker 1: especially in the second half. Who does Trey Young remind 371 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: you of? You know, he's a special young man. I mean, 372 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: you know, he has the court vision like a Pete 373 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: Marriage who can really get people involved. I mean, unbelievable 374 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: court vision this kid has, and his ability to get 375 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: to a to B as quickly as possible, you know, 376 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: when either with a three point shot or the drive man. 377 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: So it's hard to say this one guy remind you, 378 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: But the first guy that comes to mind someone like 379 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: a Pete Marriage who really does a great job at 380 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: really getting people involved. I mean, he's a wonderful pastor. 381 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: Did you face Merivich? No, I did. I missed marriage 382 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: by I think one or two years. But I used 383 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: to actually when I'm in college, I used to work 384 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: out with him in the summer, so he helped get 385 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: me ready for the NBA. What was that like? Oh 386 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: it was man, it was fun. I mean, here's a 387 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: guy that I had a lot of respect for and 388 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: I knew of him, and I met him a few 389 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: times in Atlanta, and so when I was at Georgia 390 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: and he he used to come down, you know, on the weekends, 391 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: and we used to work in ball, hammling, scales, shooting 392 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: and no sort of things. So we had a really 393 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: cool relationship. And he was one of the great ball 394 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: handlers of all time. I know, we look at Kyrie now, 395 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,919 Speaker 1: but Merivich and then you realize that, you know, that 396 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,679 Speaker 1: guy was scoring forty five points a game in college. 397 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: He was before his time. Yeah, what he was doing 398 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,399 Speaker 1: never been done before, and he didn't He averaged that 399 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: in college forty four points a game, which is pretty 400 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 1: amazing when you sit back and think about it with 401 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: no three point line. What would you have been like 402 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: though in today's Nbah. Man, you know, I come from 403 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: air where you know it was physical with bumping, grind 404 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: and put your hands on people. And I still was 405 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: averaging you know, twenty twenty thirty a game. I don't 406 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: know if I had the freedom of movement where people 407 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: couldn't put their hands on me. I don't know, but 408 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 1: I believe it would be a lot more than thirty 409 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: five a game. It's because of the freedom that you have, 410 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, so it's easier to score. Did you have 411 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: a rivalry with Jordan when it came to scoring? I 412 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: know there was this slam dunk contest, But did you 413 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: feel like you were every bit as good, if not 414 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: better than Jordan? Oh Man, we had plenty of writers. 415 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: There's plenty of rival you know, Michael and all the 416 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,880 Speaker 1: guys I played against them. A fun guy to play 417 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: against is Michael Jordan manh because he raised your level 418 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: of play intensitive. Wait, I've never heard somebody describe playing 419 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: against Jordan is fun, Nick, It was. It was fun. 420 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: What I mean by that is that I was excited 421 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: to play against him. So it was fun to go 422 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: against a great player. Like of course, the competitive level 423 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: is a whole different level because we were very competitive. 424 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: We wanted to kick each other's button, There's no question 425 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 1: about that, and so we have some fears. Fears games 426 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 1: that we played in each other throughout our career, we 427 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 1: against one another and our careers we ever thirty over 428 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 1: thirty a game against each other in our career, and 429 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: so when I say fun, that's the atmosphere was, That's 430 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 1: what basketball is about, to play against somebody like that. 431 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: I don't remember you talking when you played. Did Michael talk? 432 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: I didn't talk much. You know at certain times that 433 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: you talked now might might get under your skin. You know, 434 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: he might say a little bit, but he really he 435 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: wasn't a big time trash talking. He didn't have to be. 436 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: But if he if he talked trash, you know, he 437 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 1: was trying to get in your head or somebody he 438 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: didn't like. So but other than that night, he didn't 439 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: talk a lot. You remember your first playoff game? Oh? Man, 440 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: my first playoff game so long ago, I can't remember. 441 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: I believe it was against I don't know Milwaukee. I 442 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: think it was, but that's been so long ago. And 443 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: offered me to think that far back, who did you 444 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: you couldn't wait to face? Who? Which individual defender? Man, 445 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: it was a lot of great defenders back then. The 446 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: guy who wasn't any good like um? I asked George Gervin. 447 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: I said, I who was the guy that you couldn't 448 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: wait to play against? He goes Kevin Grievy. Kevin Grievey. Um, oh, man, 449 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: that's a girl because the guy that had most wanted 450 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: to play against, but from a from a defensive standpoint, 451 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: guy who I love playing against, guys like Kelly Chap 452 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: you know, you know, it was something about him, man 453 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: that I couldn't wait to play. Well, yeah, didn't he 454 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: did he have the throwback then or you know, yeah 455 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: he did. Yeh, he had the perm or whatever that. 456 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,119 Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, And I remember the playoff game. I 457 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: went from fifty in a playoff. Man, he was one 458 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: of those games. You know, I hope he's dead tonight. 459 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: I got your first playoff game. It's against Boston nineteen 460 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: eighty three. Okay, yeah, that's a long time ago. Wow. 461 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: I know I wouldn't have guessed Boston, you know, if 462 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: I didn't go back and look through the archives. But 463 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: that was a great Boston team. That was. So that's 464 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: your first time facing Bird and Well in the playoff. Yeah, 465 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: because you guys had great battles. Yeah, you know, you know, 466 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: that was the first time Bird ever talked trash to 467 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 1: me as my rookie season, my first game I ever 468 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: played against him. What are you saying that was the 469 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 1: only thing. Uh, I can't even tell you what he said. 470 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Clean up the language, what you know. You know one 471 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: of the things that the first thing, I think clearly 472 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: the only thing he said to me, I'm guarding him 473 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: was my first play. You know, I'm He's coming down 474 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: the court and I'm guarding him. He looks at me, 475 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: he said, I don't know why they have you guarding me? 476 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: Homes and he shoots the three. Now, I wasn't upset 477 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: he made the three. I said, at this summer good 478 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: just called me homes, you know. But it was funny 479 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: because after that, I think, you know, they knew I 480 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 1: was gonna keep coming, you know. But that was the 481 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: only time he ever talked trashing me. And then we 482 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: we had a lot of respect for each other over 483 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: the years, and so I never forget that one thing. Though. Man. 484 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: I'm like, I was so hot, man. But you know, 485 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: we talked about that stuff to this day. Man, we 486 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: really sit and laugh about a lot of that stuff. Well, 487 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: Bird famously wouldn't talk to I think it's Dan Marley. Um. 488 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: He would talk to maybe Alton Lister or somebody, and 489 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: he said, I feel so disrespected that you guys put 490 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: a white guy on me that Larry Larry? How he was? Man? 491 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: How was the seventy fifth anniversary party? Oh? Man? That was? 492 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: That was amazing? It was It was breathtaking. Did you 493 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: meet somebody that you had never met before? Yeah? Yeah, 494 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: you meet quite a few people that you've never really 495 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to. Um, it was when 496 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,199 Speaker 1: you walk into that room and they're taking pictures of 497 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, the greatest players. Man, the electricity in the room, 498 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: I mean, the emotions in the room. It's hard to explain. 499 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 1: And it was so many of us that was just 500 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: in awe of that moment. So that's something that with 501 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 1: you for the rest of your life. Hawks go to 502 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,719 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals last year. How deep can they 503 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: go this year? Well, you know, similar situation. Of course, 504 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: we were much better situation last year as far as 505 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: being in the playoffs. But now, you know, we still 506 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: have an opportunity if we win this next game to 507 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: get to the eight spot and have a chance to 508 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: play this Miami, you know, and I think we match 509 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 1: up very very well against them. So I love the 510 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: Hawks chances, you know against a team like Miami. But hey, 511 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: we gotta get by Cleveland, Yes, you do, and that's 512 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 1: gonna be tough because although Cleveland not having Jared Allen, 513 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: but that's that's a good team, and Darius Garland and 514 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: Trey Young will be a good matchup. Oh yeah, it 515 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 1: would be a great matchup. And you're right, that team 516 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: is so big up front. Now Allen plays tomorrow night, 517 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: which you know we're hearing rumors that may happen. You know, 518 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 1: they get bigger, you know, because Mobili just came back. 519 00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: So it'll be a tough game. But again, you know, 520 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: we go in and cut down a mistakes to take 521 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: care of basketball. We have a great chance of winning 522 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: that game. Can you explain why Zion's not playing? I 523 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: just heard you say he was in the layup line 524 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: Duncan doing three sixty. It seemed like to me, ready 525 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: to play if you can do all that stuff, but hey, 526 00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: you know who knows. Yeah, I just don't understand that. 527 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,200 Speaker 1: You know, if if you you're not clear to play, 528 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: are you clear to do three sixties and warm up sneak? 529 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, I come from a different era and we 530 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: were like, hey, if we're health enough to walk up 531 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: and down the court and run, you can play. Yeah, 532 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, for whatever reason, it's not that same mentality. 533 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: You know, I played with two dislocated fingers and sprung 534 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: ankle in the temperature one hundred and three. Didn't think 535 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: once by not playing because that's how much I loved 536 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: the game, and I felt like I owe it to 537 00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: my teammates to be there. That was just my mental. 538 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: If I did an over sixty slam dunk competition, are 539 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: you the number one seed? Uh? No? No, Hey, I'm 540 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: gonna tell you something, man, I've seen Doctor Jay and 541 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: I've seen Kareem, all the guys over sixty four, you 542 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: know when it was they wore duck into basketball. I 543 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: might give you one, but you know, and the thing 544 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: is going up as heat coming down you. That's what 545 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: Vince Carter told me. He says, I can go up, 546 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: it's just coming down is what hurts. But he still 547 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,960 Speaker 1: has an advantage. He's a lot younger than all. Yeah, 548 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 1: so he's got a major advantage. That would be interesting 549 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: if Doctor Jay would win the slam dunk contest of 550 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 1: the over sixty. Hey, look, you know it's it's it's 551 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: quite a few guys who I think could fit in 552 00:29:55,480 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: that category. You know that I look at Clyde Drexel. Yeah, 553 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: you know, he's another guy who's still come throw it 554 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: down pretty easily. Doc is seventy two. I didn't know 555 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: Doc was that all. Yeah, and he still looks. That's 556 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: a few years back. I used to see him and 557 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: he told me, he said, I tried to do one 558 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: donkey year. Every year. I try to do a dog, 559 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: you know, and he's and he has it's pretty amazing. 560 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you is always Nique and good 561 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: luck with the Hawks on Friday.
