1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 2: Rebecca Lo, NBC Sports Premier League host lifelong Crystal Palace fan,

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: how do you feel today?

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 3: Damn flipping Patrick. I feel a lot of feelings I've

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 3: never felt before. I feel like life goes too quickly

7
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 3: and already Saturday is too far ago, Like it's too

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 3: long ago. How did it already get to Monday? No,

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 3: I needed to still be Saturday. I feel slightly empty.

10
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 3: Isn't quite the right, you know, not to float? Maybe

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: just exhausted, could just be like emotional exhaustion. But I

12
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 3: also find myself and this is I don't think this

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 3: has ever happened to me before. I find myself during

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: these last couple of days, just drifting into a day

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 3: dream and thinking and remembering what it was like at

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: Wembley Stadium on Saturday. I feel pretty complete, to be honest.

17
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 2: Explain the FA Cup to our audience that may not know.

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: Okay, so the FA Cup is nearly one hundred and

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: fifty years old. It's an incredible competition that is separate

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 3: from the League. So whilst it's similar to Super Bowl

21
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 3: in that you have the knockouts and the Super Bowl

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: you know in the later stages when you get to

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: the playoffs, right, and then the two get to the final,

24
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 3: this is knockout all the way along. So you play

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 3: the league normally and then you all get to go

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: into the FA Cup. And the FA Cup actually starts

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: in August with nine hundred and something teams. We're talking

28
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: grassroots soccer in England, so we're talking village teams enter

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 3: the FA Cup in August and then they go through

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 3: extra preliminary rounds, preliminary rounds and then all the way

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: to first round, second round, and then it gets to

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 3: January and that's when the big boys go in. So

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: in the third round of the FA Cup is when

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: the Manchester Cities and the Premier League clubs enter. At

35
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 3: the third round. You then have to win third round,

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: fourth round, fifth round, quarterfinal, semi final and then you're

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: in the final. So the competition actually starts in August

38
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: finishes in May and it's the most revered, oldest and

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 3: most famous cup competition in world football.

40
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 4: Did you ever think you would win in your lifetime?

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 3: I not really, no, Dan, We've been in it twice

42
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: before nineteen nineteen we were in it and I was

43
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 3: nine and I was too young to go. And then

44
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen, i'd just given birth to Teddy Buckle

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: and I couldn't go because he was two and a

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 3: half weeks old and I was in the United States,

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: so I couldn't travel. And we've lost obviously both of

48
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: those times before. So to get in it again kind

49
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: of so quickly, really, considering my club has been around

50
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 3: since the eighteen hundreds, we've only been in the final

51
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: three times. To get in again was incredible, and I

52
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 3: have to say NBC have been amazing. They straight away said, yeah, Rebecca,

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: you're going, even though I was supposed to be working

54
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: today and yesterday, and no, I never thought we'd been

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 3: in it. And also we were playing Manchester City, the

56
00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 3: team that you adopted twelve years ago. Slightly lightly but

57
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 3: you adopted them, and they are not the team of

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: back in those days, but they're still a bill and

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 3: good team and so to beat them in the biggest

60
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: game in English football is I can't It's so hard

61
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: for me to describe the euphoria cry I had.

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 5: There are a lot of tars.

63
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Before the game had even started, I was crying. They

64
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: sing a song or a hymn I should say called

65
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 3: a vibe with me before every FA Cup final. It's

66
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: just the tradition. So I cried during that. Then I

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: cried when the players came out, just because that was

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: my team coming out in the film. Now I cried

69
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: when we want it, So yeah, lots of tis.

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Was there a part of you that didn't want to

71
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: subject your son to this potential torture for his life?

72
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 4: You know what?

73
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: I did think about that? And when every when I

74
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: told everybody that he was growing up as the Crystal

75
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: Palace fan, people asked me that exact question. I thought,

76
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 3: in some ways yes, right, because I would say over

77
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 3: the thirty five years of supporting Palace, it's been mainly painful.

78
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: But I really leave Dan that if you support a

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 3: Liverpool and Manchester United back in the day, a Manchester City,

80
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 3: you'll never get that moment I got because you win

81
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 3: all the time, you win trophies all times. I want

82
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 3: him to understand that in life, Dan, it is quality,

83
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: not quantity.

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: We're talking to Rebecca Low.

85
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 2: She of course is the host of the Premier League

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 2: on NBC in Peacock and she was there at Wembley

87
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: with her husband and son. Yeah, and as soon as

88
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: they won, I did think of you. I'm like, oh

89
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: my god, I don't I don't know. Does does Crystal

90
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 2: Palace have a trophy case.

91
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 3: I'm not not technically because we've not actually won a

92
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: major trophy before. I'm sure there are space in the

93
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: boardroom at the stadium. We've won smaller trophies down here

94
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 3: is like much much smaller. But now we're going to

95
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: build a brand. I think we've built a whole room,

96
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 3: to be quite honest, for this one beautiful trophy.

97
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: So what do you do now? This is like, this

98
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 4: is weird.

99
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: Red Sox fans, Cubs fans, they are like, wait a minute,

100
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: now we won.

101
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: I know it is weird, and that's why I say.

102
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 3: It's a feeling I've never had before. I don't quite

103
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 3: know what to do with this feeling. I'm a bit

104
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: concerned that Teddy thinks, age nine, this is going to

105
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: be you know. I mean, it could quite feasibly never

106
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: happen again in his lifetime. I have told him that

107
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 3: I was so Crystal Palace are actually playing Liverpool, the

108
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: Premier League champions, next Sunday on the final day of

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: the season, and we are going to anfield to watch

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 3: Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy. I'll be the only

111
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: one in the stadium that's actually more interested in their

112
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 3: opposition next weekend, so I get to see them again

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 3: next weekend and then after that. To be honest, Dan,

114
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: if we never win another trophy, I'm actually fine with it.

115
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: It start like.

116
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 3: For me that moment was full circle thirty five years

117
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 3: as a nine year old, My dad was there, my

118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: family like, it's like it is complete.

119
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: Now, Okay, where does this rank top five days of

120
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: your life?

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 3: Number three?

122
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: So having Teddy Yep getting the job at NBC and

123
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: then this and then your wedding.

124
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 3: Very close, very close. I'm going, I'm going baby wedding this.

125
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: But then with both of them with me for this,

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: you know it might kind of like it might all

127
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 3: be on a little bit of a level path.

128
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: It is.

129
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: It is that big. I genuinely felt like there was

130
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 3: life before Saturday, Dan, and there is now life after Saturday.

131
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: That is, honestly what a line in the sand in

132
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: my life.

133
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 4: That day was Congratulations.

134
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: I didn't think it would happen in my lifetime, but

135
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: I'm glad it happened in your lifetime. That you've got

136
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: to have crystal palace instead of being the butt of

137
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: a joke.

138
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,720

Speaker 7: That's Covino and Rich.

172
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Brian Winhorse to the Mothership senior NBA writer, and he

173
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: was there for Game six Celtics in the Knicks. ESPN's

174
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: coverage of the Western Conference Finals starts tomorrow night, eight

175
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 2: thirty Eastern with the Chimberwolves. And okay, see Wendy joins this.

176
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: You know, here's a random thought I just had for you, Brian.

177
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: If Lebron James would all of a sudden end up

178
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: with the Cleveland Cavaliers, let's say, end his career there,

179
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: what does that do to your life? Do you then

180
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 2: have to go back to Cleveland?

181
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 5: I was in Cleveland a lot this postseason. You know,

182
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 5: the Calves were. You know, if the Calves are, if

183
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 5: a team is really relevant, I'm probably going to be there.

184
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 5: I covered the Calves Heat series in the first round,

185
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 5: and I thought I would be there for the Eastern

186
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 5: Conference finals. I thought the Calves were playing great. I

187
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 5: really did not see I respect the Pacers, I did

188
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 5: not see them getting well washed out in five.

189
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 8: Yeah.

190
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, in my view where Lebron's career

191
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 5: is now, he's just in the total icing stage. He

192
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 5: can do whatever he wants and it won't affect the

193
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 5: way I think about him whatever. I know that his

194
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: legacy is a popular sports topic. I think it's whatever

195
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 5: happens is fine. Like if he plays three more years

196
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 5: and misses the playoffs, fine, If he plays one more

197
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: year and hangs it up and they in the late

198
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 5: with the Lakers and they don't make the second round, fine,

199
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 5: Like to me, after he won the championship in sixteen,

200
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 5: it was all cemented and after that, you know, it's

201
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 5: just a it's just a part of building onto the resume.

202
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 5: So I would cover it like I would cover any

203
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 5: the rest of the league. You know, if I'm was

204
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 5: signed there by my bosses, I would go. It's my hometown,

205
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 5: so I always look for reasons to go there. I

206
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: was happy to be there in Round one. Played some golf.

207
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 5: I thought I was going to be playing some more

208
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 5: golf in Cleveland the summer, but that doesn't seem to

209
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 5: be going to be happening.

210
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 4: Well, the Cavs are playing golf. They certainly are.

211
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 5: They certainly are.

212
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: Do you think that it's just Steph curR he won

213
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: his career with Golden State, Lebron win his career with

214
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,679
Speaker 2: the Lakers.

215
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 4: Probably.

216
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Steph Carrett were going to career with

217
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: Golden State Lebron. I'm you know, high probability of Lakers.

218
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 5: I would never cement it, just because the Lakers are

219
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 5: pivoting a little bit now, not a little bit, They've

220
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 5: pivoted to Luca and so that makes their medium term

221
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 5: future a little bit harder to predict. But Lebron has

222
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 5: demonstrated repeatedly, time after time after time his priority is

223
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: to be a Laker and to live in Los Angeles.

224
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 5: So I don't, you know, unless the Lakers did something

225
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 5: to him to change the way he feels about them,

226
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 5: which is not their mo. The Lakers franchise has invested

227
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: in almost more than anything else invested in taking care

228
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: of superstars. It's essentially their brand. I don't see that happening,

229
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: but yes, I think that's that's very likely where we're headed.

230
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 2: Janna's had a reportedly a polite wave saying trade me

231
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 2: or I'd be open to a trade. When does the

232
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 2: market start where I guess it has it started officially

233
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: of yes, yeah, teams proposing yes.

234
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: I don't think you'll see a significant big move with

235
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 5: the star player until there's clarity on what happens with

236
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 5: the honest and nor should there be, because this could

237
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: go a lot of different ways. And I do think,

238
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 5: by the way, like I may not have the best

239
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 5: information on this, I'm not saying that I do. I

240
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 5: don't think that Giannis is one hundred percent said I'm

241
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 5: out of Milwaukee yet. I think that would be a miss.

242
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 5: I think that would be a mistake to assume that.

243
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: Do.

244
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 4: I think that there's a.

245
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 5: Growing possibility that that's that he is going to want out.

246
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 5: I do, and I think that the league does. In fact, Frankly, Dan,

247
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 5: the league has been watching this for a year. You know,

248
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that there are teams that have like

249
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 5: haltered their organization to wait for this, but for a year.

250
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 5: I mean, even at the trade deadline, there were teams

251
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 5: who were like, you know what, let's just let's just chill,

252
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 5: or let's just do this deal instead of this deal

253
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 5: just in case we see yanis available. People were keeping

254
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 5: an eye on this for a year, and then when

255
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 5: Dame unfortunately had that injury, anybody who would be a

256
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 5: yanas suitor applied the brakes to anything serious.

257
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 4: And we'll see.

258
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 5: I think as the playoffs go on and we get

259
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 5: closer to the draft season, there will be an increasing

260
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 5: tension that grips the league on waiting for Yannis to

261
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 5: make a signal about whether he wants to leave, and

262
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: then if he wants to leave, is there a place

263
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 5: or place is he wants to go? And is he

264
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: going to have control? Those are big important decisions that

265
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 5: are going to happen, and I think you can even

266
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 5: you know this is an ironclad thing. It's all evolving,

267
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 5: but you could even have a player like Kevin Durant

268
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 5: sort of sitting on the tarmac waiting to see what

269
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 5: happens with his future until yan is the future gets

270
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 5: tied up, not guaranteed, but you could see some teams

271
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 5: that Durant would have interested in Yannis potentially having interested in,

272
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 5: and then you're not getting both.

273
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: Give me the team, though, you think has the assets

274
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: to be able to pull this off. To we always

275
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 2: look at trades from one perspective. It's like, man, they

276
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 2: could get him if they give up these guys. We

277
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: never look at the other side. So Milwaukee's got to

278
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 2: be intrigued by this. Who could get their attention?

279
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I would assume that Milwaukee has been

280
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: working on this. Again, not that if their general manager

281
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 5: John Horst was here, he would attest to this, But

282
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 5: the whole league has been thinking about Giannis for a year.

283
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 5: My guess is for some period of time the Bucks

284
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 5: maybe not on their main whiteboard in the front of

285
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 5: their office, but there's a secret computer file somewhere where

286
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 5: they have a list of interesting trades they'd like to make.

287
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 5: The team that stands out with a bright, fresh, flashing

288
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: light is san Antonio, because san Antonio has a couple

289
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 5: of things that are very possible Yanistrad first off, Dan

290
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 5: in the modern NBA in the apron era, and I

291
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 5: understand fans frustration. I have several Frans friends who are

292
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 5: we are big NBA fans who like snap at me

293
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 5: and go Nobody understands this apron stuff. Nobody cares about

294
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 5: to stop talking about it. Unfortunately, that's just the truth

295
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: in the modern NBA game, it's it's very hard, not impossible,

296
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 5: but it's very hard to have three gigantic salaries, you know,

297
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 5: fifty million plus salaries. And if you do all three

298
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 5: of those guys better be awesome, because you can't fill

299
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 5: out the rest of your roster. And I mean, it's

300
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: not impossible, but it's extremely difficult and to invest in that,

301
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: to go that route right now is very hard. So

302
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 5: San Antonio has something that is extremely attractive is that

303
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 5: they have a star player in Victor Webbinyama who is

304
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 5: on his rookie contract for several more years, and then

305
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 5: even if he does get the max contract, his max

306
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 5: will be sort of lower down. It's just like what

307
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 5: happened with the Senate with the San Francisco forty nine

308
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 5: ers in brock Purty, right, they were able to build

309
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 5: out their tea because one of their best players is

310
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 5: making one of the cheapest contracts. So they have that

311
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 5: they have a star player on the minimum arena on

312
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 5: a rookie seale contract. They have young pieces in house

313
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 5: that would interest anybody, including Stefan Castle, who just won

314
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 5: Rookie of the year, and they are loaded with future

315
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 5: draft assets, including two lottery picks in this draft and

316
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 5: the number two pick, and they have large salaries on

317
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 5: their roster that can make a trade you could equal it.

318
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 5: And so if you're Milwaukee, one of the most important

319
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 5: things I have to say before anybody goes to the

320
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 5: trade machine. If you think Milwaukee is tanking, you've got

321
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 5: it wrong. Milwaukee cannot tank. They do not control their

322
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: first round pick for the next five years. So if

323
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 5: they make a Yana's trade, even if it is beautiful

324
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 5: for four years from now and it results in them

325
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 5: winning seventeen games next year, they're going to have a

326
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 5: party in New Orleans because that's who controls their pick.

327
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: They have to have a real team on the other

328
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 5: side of it. Unless they go to New Orleans and

329
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 5: make the deal for Giannis and get their picks back.

330
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 5: They have to have a real timing on other side

331
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 5: of it. So San Antonio can give them real players,

332
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 5: they can give them young players, and they can give

333
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: them draft picks. That's the golden triangle. What we don't

334
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 5: know is whether Jannis wants to play in San Antonio,

335
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 5: and what we don't also don't know is if that's

336
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 5: going to be a priority. If Gianna says to the

337
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 5: bucks O cad like to be traded, whether or not

338
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 5: they're going to work together, I would suspect that they would,

339
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 5: but I don't know for sure. So you have a

340
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: team like San Antonio, you also could put Houston in

341
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 5: that boat. Houston has some of the same advantages, but

342
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: San Antonio is farther ahead. If I was honest, though,

343
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 5: Dan and I saw the way the league was going,

344
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: and I saw the unfortunate situation that just happened in Boston.

345
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely I would stay. I would. I would.

346
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: I would say, you know what, let me talk to Cleveland, like,

347
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 2: if you you want to get a team that is

348
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: ready to win, and then that's his goal. I me

349
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: in the Eastern Conference, You're right, Boston's wounded, the Knicks

350
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 2: are good, Indiana's good.

351
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: Seventy six ers aren't good.

352
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 2: So you start to look at the hierarchy there and

353
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: you go, you know what, I could win a championship

354
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: with one of these teams.

355
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 5: Here's where I once again have to use the word

356
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 5: april aprons, because both of those teams are second apron teams,

357
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 5: and it's not impossible I want to be clear, it

358
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 5: is not impossible, but I would need Bobby Marks and

359
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 5: a bunch of spreadsheets to be able to have a

360
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 5: real conversation.

361
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 4: It's not like it was.

362
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 5: A few years ago where you're like, if two teams

363
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 5: deem it, so it can it could happen, and then

364
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 5: you know, you get into like, well there's three team,

365
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 5: four teams, sixteen twelve team scenarios. Yes, obviously if you

366
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 5: had a battering ram and a will, you can make

367
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 5: it happen. But really these days you have to consider

368
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 5: that as well. But if Cleveland could get Giannis, yes

369
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 5: I would, seriously, I would take the phone call put

370
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 5: it back.

371
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 2: But san Antonio is still keeping Victor Wembenyama. That's right, Okay,

372
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 2: Now how does that pair work to get.

373
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 5: Beautifully because when bin Yama, Well, here's the thing, Yannis

374
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 5: is extraordinarily effective playing center. This is sort of an

375
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 5: inconvenient truth. You know, for example, well, I'm not.

376
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 8: Going to get into that.

377
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: I'll get I'll get aggregated.

378
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: I don't need that. We like when you get aggregated.

379
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 5: Yes, here's your show is excellent at it.

380
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

381
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 5: Yannis is probably a center in the modern NBA. Okay,

382
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 5: but he doesn't really want to play center. But if

383
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 5: you put in, it's and it's hard to play him

384
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 5: a power forward dan because he can't shoot. And it's

385
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,480
Speaker 5: even hard to pay him a small forward under circumstance

386
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 5: circumstances because it's harder to get shooters on the court.

387
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: Because you know so wehn Bin yama is is on

388
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 5: his way to being one of the greatest big man

389
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 5: shooters of all time. Like he is dedicated to it,

390
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 5: he is getting better at it. The Spurs want him

391
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 5: to do it. At the very least, he has to

392
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 5: be guarded out there. And the way that you you

393
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 5: know what you want for Jans. You want the floor spaced,

394
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 5: and if you leave Victor to open the lane, Yannis

395
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 5: will jam it down your throat. And if you leave,

396
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: if you stay with Victor and open the lane, Yians

397
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 5: will jam it down your throat. And if you leave Victor,

398
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: he will kill you. He will eventually be an I

399
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 5: think over forty percent three point shooter. So and then

400
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 5: at the defensive end, you have length for days, and

401
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 5: the Spurs still have dearon Fox. They still have both

402
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 5: pieces that they can that they have and assets they

403
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: can continue to build, they could make, They could pay

404
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: a king's ransom for Yannis and still have pieces to build,

405
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: which is why to me, san Antonio of all the teams,

406
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 5: makes the most sense. However, having said that, if Jannie

407
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 5: is in agreement with the Bucks that we're going to

408
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: work together and he has two years on his contract,

409
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: that's sort of an awkward spot. You know, when Dame

410
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 5: Willard went to the Trail Blazers and said, I want

411
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 5: to be traded. The Blazer said, we're going to trade you,

412
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 5: but you have four years on your contract. You're not

413
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 5: going to have agency, and he didn't. You know, he

414
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: was okay with Milwaukee in the end, but he wanted

415
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 5: to go with other places. Gianness is and is in

416
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 5: the awkward spot for Milwaukee to get the most in return,

417
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 5: Yiannis would really have to endorse where he was going

418
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 5: that he would sign an extension. Thenna, then you're gonna

419
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 5: get more, because if you're a team like san Antonio,

420
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 5: maybe you're not giving Stefan Castle and both lottery picks

421
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 5: this year. If you just think you're getting in for

422
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 5: two years, you want Giannis coming and saying I'm signing

423
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 5: an extension with you, then you're saying, Okay, you're gonna

424
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: be our Victor wenbin Yama build out. That's what you're

425
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: gonna be for your back of your prime and going

426
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 5: into Victor's prime, that's what's gonna be. So because of that,

427
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: if Jannis looked at the Bucks and said, I only

428
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 5: want to be in place X, the Bucks would probably

429
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 5: be highly incentivized to try to make that happen. So

430
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: if you have a team, because you know, naturally when

431
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 5: a star player becomes available, there's certain markets that just

432
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 5: can we get them, The Lakers or the Warriors couldn't

433
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 5: win a bidding war, Like if Milwaukee said the market's open,

434
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 5: there's no way they could win a bidding war. If

435
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 5: Giannis went in and said, I want to end I

436
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 5: want to be with Steph Curry, That's who I want

437
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 5: to play with. Is there a deal that could happen

438
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 5: between those two teams? Yes, yes, I would be lying

439
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: to you if I told you the Warriors couldn't trade

440
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 5: for Giannest. That could happen, but it is not something

441
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 5: that would happen if it was an open market and

442
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 5: we just don't know yet.

443
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 2: Could you see Jokers saying to the front office in Denver,

444
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 2: What are we doing here?

445
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 5: I would hope say that, but I don't know that

446
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 5: he would say that. He has never articulated that, and

447
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,399
Speaker 5: he has certainly never done it publicly, and I've never

448
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 5: heard about it privately. But if you're looking at this team,

449
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 5: there are two players short. You know there are two

450
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 5: players short. And what ended up unfortunately happening in this

451
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 5: particular postseason was that Michael Porter Junior got hurt and

452
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 5: he was a shell of the player that he normally is.

453
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 5: People were criticizing him, and I'm like, well, if you

454
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 5: saw the way he played in the regular season, that's

455
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 5: who he is, Like he's he's an improerfect player, but

456
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 5: he's much better than the play he showed in the playoffs.

457
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 5: And then unfortunately Aaron Gordon got hurt and will never

458
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 5: know what would have happened in Game seven if Aaron

459
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 5: Gordon was healthy, I don't know. He was a huge

460
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 5: difference making player, and so all of a sudden you're

461
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 5: down to like three guys you could trust on that team,

462
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 5: and the buildout of that roster is one of the

463
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 5: reasons why the general manager got fired. People focus on

464
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 5: Michael Malone getting fired. The general manager got fired too,

465
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 5: and you know it was because the buildout of the

466
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 5: roster bell short. That team at the top end is

467
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 5: a championship team, but they're not championship team in the

468
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:36,560
Speaker 5: middle of the back end, and it's cost him two

469
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 5: years in a row.

470
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 2: What player, marquee player, star player of the final four

471
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 2: would benefit the most from winning a championship If you

472
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 2: said Brunson, Shay gilges ant Man or Alburton.

473
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 5: Well, what Jalen Brunson is doing in New York is

474
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 5: historic and I think that would be the best story.

475
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 5: And if you want to brand me is somebody who

476
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 5: works for ESPN and wants the New York team to win.

477
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: That's fine.

478
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm from Cleveland, I live in Omaha. That story is amazing.

479
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 5: And here's the other thing, like I don't and again

480
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 5: this goes back to the Aprons. And I know it's

481
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 5: such a boring topic and it's a buzzkill, but Jalen

482
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 5: Brunson taking that contract that he took is going to

483
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 5: be the gift that keeps on giving for the Knicks.

484
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 5: The Knicks are here ahead of schedule. The Knicks strategy

485
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,479
Speaker 5: was to get some players in their twenties that they

486
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 5: thought were together and then take advantage of Brunson's willingness

487
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 5: to alter his contract and then build this team out

488
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 5: over the next three or four years. They were really

489
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: looking at the beginning of a window where they were

490
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 5: going to outmanage other teams in the salary structure because

491
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: of what Brunson was willing to do. People attack that

492
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: Bridge's trade, and that's fine. You can attack the Bridges trade.

493
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 2: You can.

494
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 5: You can put up a beautiful PowerPoint presentation about it.

495
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 5: The Bridge's trade happened to injunction with Brunson signing the

496
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 5: deal where he took one hundred million dollars less. That's

497
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 5: the only way to look at it. And Brunson doing

498
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 5: that and then potentially leading this team through. You know,

499
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 5: the Knicks as a team are not an elite The

500
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 5: Knicks has a unit, are not an elite team, but

501
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 5: they are though mentally tough, and they're so mentally tough

502
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 5: because of Brunson and watching him do it and leading

503
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 5: that team with his mental toughness is a very, very

504
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 5: compelling story. But of course I could tell you Dan

505
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 5: any one of these four teams. It's really fascinating because

506
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 5: you've got aunt Edwards, who's potentially an heir apparent. You've

507
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 5: got the Pacers, who are a beautifully built team who

508
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 5: are extremely fun to watch. Watching them play is extremely fun,

509
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 5: and Tyree Saliburton when he is cooking, is enjoyable to

510
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 5: watch as any player in the league. And then you

511
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 5: have the MVP on a team that was built organically

512
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 5: like the Oklahoma City Thunder are the blueprint of how

513
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: to build a sustainable team, and they've won and got

514
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 5: an MVP award and MV guy's gonna win the MVP

515
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,679
Speaker 5: in the next few days. So I think all of

516
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 5: them are good, but I think Brunson's story, especially since

517
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 5: the Knicks haven't won. Actually, none of these teams have won.

518
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,160
Speaker 5: The Knicks haven't won since seventy three, and nobody else

519
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,159
Speaker 5: has over won an NBA title. The Pacers never won

520
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 5: in the NBA obviously, the Wolves and the Thunder. The

521
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: Thunder haven't won in Oklahoma City, they won in the

522
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 5: seventies in Seattle. But I think all of them are

523
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 5: new blood that are interesting.

524
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 4: Great to talk to you again, Thanks for spending time.

525
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,920

538
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: entered into the room just three minutes ago, and I said,

539
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 4: I was going through a midlife crisis. Like people do

540
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 4: they buy motorcycles. I don't buy motorcycles. I dress like

541
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: I drive a motorcycle. DN, you got the bombers, yeah

542
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: I know.

543
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you got in case I roll, you got padded,

544
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: you got shoulder pad, you shoulder pads.

545
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah.

546
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 2: I always wanted bigger shoulders, you know. But but well

547
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: you've carried the network for.

548
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 4: Thank you very much. I think I took it right

549
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 4: from you. I mean that, that's that's part of why

550
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 4: I needed to come here today. Dan. Okay, but.

551
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 2: I'm serious though, with a midlife crisis of it's a

552
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: mid career crisis of.

553
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 4: I wouldn't call it a crisis. I feel amazing. I

554
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 4: feel absolutely amazing. I feel I feel energized and optimistic.

555
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 4: And I know I can say this now after twenty

556
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 4: three years of being on TV and carrying a show,

557
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 4: but of being somebody who for his whole life wants

558
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 4: to please people and wants to be that guy, the energetic,

559
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 4: kindest guy can be. I can be proud of myself too,

560
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: And I know twenty three years of five thousand episode

561
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 4: television doesn't come available on the market often, so looking forward,

562
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 4: there's no crisis. I'm feeling great. How were you told

563
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 4: that it was coming to an end? Suddenly? Then gradually

564
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 4: as all the good things. I read an article on

565
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,439
Speaker 4: the New York Post, my hometown paper occasionally printed in English,

566
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 4: and that was the first I heard that it was

567
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 4: a possibility. Made a few calls to the people, of

568
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 4: course that I love, and we'll suss it out. And

569
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,959
Speaker 4: that's when I heard, No, we don't know where that

570
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 4: came from, and we all know what that means. He

571
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 4: came from somewhere. So yeah. So that was over the

572
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: summer of last year. I had my people look at

573
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 4: things like ratings as if that might matter or something

574
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: like that. We were up, we were doing great, so

575
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 4: I wasn't really worried. But you know, once that stuff's

576
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 4: truthpast is out of the tube, you know what.

577
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: It is, okay, But do you sense the show is

578
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 2: heading into different direction? You know that that you know

579
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 2: why it got canceled. It's such a great show and

580
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 2: it felt like was there too much money being spent

581
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 2: or was it too woe too much money elsewhere?

582
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 4: I mean, certainly wasn't money I can I can tell

583
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 4: you that. I mean, the woke has it's a fine

584
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: headline to write. I don't believe what that is. I

585
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: honestly think we did fifty thousand topics over twenty three years.

586
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 4: You're gonna tell me ten or fifteen drew an eyebrow up.

587
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,959
Speaker 4: I'll be like, yeah, I mean we were doing some

588
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 4: complex topics from time to time. I don't mute people

589
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 4: in FaceTime. So maybe there's two or three there that

590
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: didn't have the back and forth you would want. Maybe

591
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: there's one or two I would take back if you

592
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: asked me. Those aren't my regrets, not at all. So

593
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 4: the reality of the show being the most eclectic, and

594
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 4: it's not a negative word for me, diverse show in

595
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 4: the history of the television medium. We got people twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, seventies,

596
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: all on a level playing if you we have men,

597
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: we have women, all on the level playing field. You're

598
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: gonna tell me that that's not never gonna be a

599
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 4: negative to me, even though times have changed and things

600
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: are viewed differently. Now. I know the people who were

601
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 4: part of our show are getting other jobs at our network,

602
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 4: front facing jobs, wonderful jobs that are at our highest properties.

603
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: But I can't imagine with your excitement, your enthusiasm, your energy,

604
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 2: you go into management yes, and can't convince them.

605
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 4: I said, let me play it however you see it.

606
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 4: I can get rid of them. You button if that's

607
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: if you don't like the game show element, I can.

608
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 4: We'll bring in switchers, We'll bring in athletes every now

609
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 4: and then. But I believe the show is based and

610
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: the bones of the show is journalism. And when this

611
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: one goes away, there ain't anymore. Because I love Tony

612
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: and Mike, They're not riding in the Washington Post on

613
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 4: Deadline tomorrow. Bill Plashkey is Tim Kallishoy is right, now

614
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 4: we might. Tim Kalishaw is going to be working hard

615
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 4: to be on the finale of Around the Horn, the

616
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 4: show he gave his blood, sweat, tears, and sobriety too.

617
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 4: He went straight to sobriety while during the show, and

618
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 4: one of the most proud things I can say of

619
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: our show is the growth that we've all been able

620
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 4: to have through the support of each other.

621
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 7: He's going to be.

622
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 4: Either an Edmonton, you know, or Dallas for this, because

623
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 4: again the abundsman of the schedule, can we get an

624
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: NHL schedule out earlier. But imagine he's an Edmonton and

625
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 4: I'm having a rogue camera shoot him. He's shooting it

626
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: on an iPhone. All right, Tim, Nice, nice career you

627
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 4: had with us, See you later. But these were suggestions

628
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 4: that you had. I mean I threw him out to

629
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 4: my immediates, the great Eric ride home and Aaron Solomon,

630
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 4: and I also then had a chance after some time

631
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 4: to convey them to some people, or at least put

632
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: my words out there. I mean, these were conversations I

633
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 4: wanted more of. Okay, but mute button and athletes. Yeah,

634
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 4: I'm speaking. I'm speaking very frankly here. I would throw

635
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 4: out the kitchen sink. I know what I can do

636
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 4: on TV, and it's not just a mute button and

637
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 4: a scoring system, you know. So I know I could

638
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 4: host different shows for this network, and I know they

639
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 4: could want different shows. That's I understand that part of it.

640
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 4: I went through nine months where I did some education

641
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 4: on myself and on the industry. How has the industry changed? Right?

642
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 4: And I'm aware of things now that maybe by product

643
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 4: of me siloed away doing a show the way I

644
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: only saw a fit. I know I had to carry

645
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 4: a weight for twenty three years. I respected that. I

646
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: know nine hundred and fifty three episodes doesn't happen by accident,

647
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 4: doesn't happen even But somebody's also doing a podcast and

648
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 4: a streaming show and covering games on weekend. I know

649
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: what I needed to put to do that. So now

650
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 4: I'm trying to imagine, well, what else could the network want?

651
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: And I would love to have that conversation. Still, you're

652
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 4: staying at ESPN. I have a contract through the end

653
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 4: of August, and I am having many great yes two months.

654
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 4: The show says goodbye Friday, and I'm happy to have

655
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 4: the next two months to talk to everybody and anybody

656
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 4: in the world, including ESPN.

657
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: But if if you're I was wondering about this that

658
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: you you did that, but were you going to do

659
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: other things like Wilbond does.

660
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I was with you. I was in a

661
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 4: place now where I wanted to get the home life

662
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 4: where I wanted it to be. And I had done

663
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 4: Good Morning America as a correspondent for some years. It

664
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 4: was four years in total. It wasn't you know exactly

665
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: where I thought it was going, and I think they

666
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 4: would say the same of me. But it was a

667
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 4: very fruitful experience and educative in that way. So I

668
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 4: have now Google documents full of game shows, kids shows,

669
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 4: just because I wanted to stretch my personality out a

670
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 4: little bit. But then, you know, the same type of

671
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 4: fair that I would love to make in TV and sports.

672
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 4: Absolutely Tony reality.

673
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: For now, his business card brings around Corner host until

674
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: this Friday, after twenty three years.

675
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: I mean, we are in it. We have been in

676
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 4: a similar position in our lives. I don't know exactly

677
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 4: how you came to find out the big show was

678
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 4: going wherever it's going.

679
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that's Keith Oberman left, Yes, and that only

680
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: we were together five years and then I didn't have

681
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: that epiphany until I turned fifty and I was sitting

682
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: on the six o'clock Sports Center.

683
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 4: Were you wearing a motorcycle jacket? I was not.

684
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 2: I was not doing that, but I remember I was

685
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: throwing out to South pal Antonio for whatever, and I

686
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 2: just it hit me, like, what are you doing? Because

687
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: I was doing the six o'clock Sports Center so I

688
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: could spend more time at home. I'd worked second shift

689
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: for fifteen years. Yeah, four kids, young kids, and I

690
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 2: just remember going, what are you doing? Like I didn't

691
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 2: want to be the you know that, Oh my god,

692
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: he's still doing sports center even though it's a wonderful

693
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 2: job at your young man's game.

694
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 4: I have people who tell me that, but I didn't

695
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 4: feel that way, you know, like, Okay, that's time to

696
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 4: move on. You can do so many different things, and

697
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 4: for me, I was taking it to the finish line.

698
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 4: I was taking it back into port after going around

699
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 4: the horn, is what I was doing.

700
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but sometimes it's viewed as a negative if you

701
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: continue to do the same decisely.

702
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 4: The people in my life who love me were at

703
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: least making that note to me that you should be

704
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 4: branching out more. I had a muscle in me that

705
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: said what's right is right, and we're gonna carry this

706
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,479
Speaker 4: one to the end. So in some ways that's why

707
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 4: I do feel amazing. Now I've had a chance. I'm

708
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 4: not going to tell somebody whose last name is Patrick

709
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 4: what an Irish goodbye is, but I've had an Italian goodbye.

710
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 4: I've had six months of hugging people, coming into rooms,

711
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 4: getting presents, giving presents, getting notes. I was not prepared,

712
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 4: and maybe the network wasn't prepared for a press release

713
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,839
Speaker 4: that had four and a half million clicks on it.

714
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 4: We're announcing incredible new parts of our network, in the

715
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: future of the industry and all these things. It's not

716
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: seeing four and a half million clicks When I took

717
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 4: came up for air after that first week, when I

718
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 4: found out, and I was like, I said, I'm gonna

719
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 4: respond to everybody. And then I looked at the press

720
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 4: release it was four million clicks. I'm like, oh my goodness,

721
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 4: what about you signed myself up for? Could you do

722
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 4: a variation of around them? Absolutely, I think there's gas

723
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 4: in the tank for this, Like this would have been

724
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 4: the pitch if we were still having a conversation about extending. Sure.

725
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 4: I mean, one of the great things about this industry.

726
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 4: I grew up wanting to be you.

727
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 7: Damn.

728
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 4: This is why I made the drive out here. Anthony

729
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 4: really calling the Yankees. I saw a hit piece you

730
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 4: did with Don Maddingly right as far back as I

731
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 4: can remember, I always wanted to be a sportscaster, all right,

732
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 4: I said, you know you're doing Don Madam, I'm doing that.

733
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 4: I want to be John Sterling. I want to be

734
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 4: the guys who I had in my college who would

735
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 4: come back and give speeches. Mike Breen, Mike Okay, Bob Papa,

736
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 4: Chris Carno. That's every voice of the local teams I

737
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 4: listened to growing up. Yeah, okay, that's Fordham University. So

738
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,800
Speaker 4: I knew what I wanted to do since I was

739
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 4: a kid. I knew the whole way, and I have

740
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 4: seen other people navigate one job and then the next

741
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 4: job and the next job. I do think though a

742
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 4: refreshing of the show where you're talking to people. I

743
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 4: got into this long story because I feel like young

744
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 4: sportscasters I would love to put them on. You know,

745
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 4: they had their own YouTube page Now, at thirteen, I

746
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 4: had a Fisher Price microphone that went nowhere. There was nothing,

747
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 4: no coret in it, and I I was you. For

748
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:42,760
Speaker 4: every history project. I would bring in the cardboard box,

749
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: cut my head out and do Sports Center through the

750
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 4: Big Show talking about the Revolutionary War. We start today

751
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 4: with corn Wallace. Oh corn Wallace, how did he blow

752
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 4: it in your town? He came in there with the strategy,

753
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 4: you know, and that sort of thing I was doing

754
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 4: that was not always well received. There's a little bit

755
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 4: for mister Matson and the Christian Brothers of New Jersey.

756
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: But if you said, if you're going to watch any

757
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 2: of these episodes, yes, here's one episode that I'm most

758
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 2: proud of. Is there an episode of Around the Horn for.

759
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 4: Ugly? There's three or four in my head that stick

760
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 4: with me. There was an April Fools episode I did backwards.

761
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 4: I workshopped this on the walk to work, talk about

762
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 4: my our crew, Aaron Solovon and Josh Bard looking at

763
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 4: me like I'm crazy, as they always do, but rolling

764
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 4: with me, which I appreciate. So this was the Seinfeld

765
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: type episode where I did I caught a paper toss?

766
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 4: I said, we were just on a twenty three and

767
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 4: a half hour break, I got the FaceTime to somebody.

768
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: I scored the show from thirty seven down to zero

769
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 4: and entire backwards episodes, but the debates were still the

770
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,839
Speaker 4: news of the day of sports and that this got

771
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: workshopped in a three hour timeframe. Amps was backwards. The

772
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 4: e block was bu Ba Bue proud of that. I'm

773
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 4: really proud of that I would do that. You know,

774
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 4: for me, my evolution as a host and as a

775
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 4: man was realizing feelings are superpower and where are feelings

776
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: more prevalent than in sports, But let's also apply those

777
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 4: feelings to your life and putting it on stage. So

778
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 4: having Woody Page come on and talk about depression, talking

779
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 4: about the loss of my son and stillbirth and the

780
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 4: birth of my son at the same time that episode

781
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 4: after Father's Day, that will stay with me for the

782
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 4: rest of my life. Not because you know I did

783
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 4: it and I knew I was intentional of how I

784
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 4: wanted to do it, and the reaction that came from that.

785
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 4: I'm still getting notes, I'm still getting books sent to

786
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 4: me and vice versa. So that was connection. That's what

787
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 4: I've realized was the goal all along.

788
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: You know when you talk about kunt of Shawn's sobriety out.

789
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 4: I mean these were all things. Now again, you can

790
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 4: write a headline and say, what is that game show

791
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 4: on sports doing? It went too far? You can write,

792
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 4: or you could just broadly they had too many people? Well, yes,

793
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 4: I like people. I wanted as many voices as possible.

794
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you it's a satire, Dan, Now all right.

795
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 4: You can't score an argument a sports argument. Nobody wins

796
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 4: the sports argument. Much like life, what you get scored

797
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 4: on one day changes the next day. What you do

798
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 4: so well today may not work for you in your

799
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 4: home life or in the show tomorrow. And you're gonna

800
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: have to roll with this. This is how intentional and

801
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 4: meta referential, honestly I was doing when I was thinking

802
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 4: about something as silly as the scoring of the show.

803
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: So I wanted to be able to have any conversation

804
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 4: at any time. But I got Tony and Mike after me.

805
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 4: You got the same people every day. That's one go

806
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 4: there for the same people every day on this show.

807
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 4: We'll give you the opposite. I want you to score

808
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 4: the show. Let's go around.

809
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 2: I want you to do with the dants okay with them,

810
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 2: and I want to know this scoring system and you know,

811
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 2: and you pick the topic.

812
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 4: Okay, okay for the Dan nts. Okay, so I'm sure

813
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 4: we're really locked into the NBA playoffs right now we go.

814
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 4: We're gonna take a break. Oh what you take breaks

815
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 4: on the show. Yes, we do. Yes, you gotta pay

816
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 4: me if that's what you want to do with your life.

817
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: All right, it might be what you're doing with your

818
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: life too at some point and a half hour break,

819
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 2: Thank you, Dan. How about we take a break. It's

820
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 2: Tony reality. He will explain the scoring system. He will

Speaker 2: you're with leather ESPN around the horn and at the

856
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 2: final show.

857
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 4: Who airs this Friday after twenty three years.

858
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: Okay, So I want you to be you, and I

859
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: want you to treat the dan Z's if they are writers,

860
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 2: and explain the system though the scoring system that.

861
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 4: You sure vibes would be one way to describe it.

862
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 4: You know, everybody wants to reach vibes. Now, I'm looking

863
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 4: for panelists not just to have an opinion. I'm looking

864
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 4: for them to prove why their opinion is best right now.

865
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 4: Prove it right now. You got to prove why your

866
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 4: opinion is best. So you may think, Paul I got

867
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 4: to get some stats, because reality is a stat boy

868
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 4: born and raised, and that would be a great way

869
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 4: to do it. But then if Fritzi were to come

870
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,760
Speaker 4: back and give stats on top of stats, well stats

871
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 4: on stats. We're not doing that. MW Fritzi, all right.

872
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 4: And then Marvin's coming in and he said, as the

873
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 4: only panelists who watch this game, or is the only

874
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 4: panelty who was in the locker room? Is what I really?

875
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 4: I was there, Frank Isola, I was there. That's another

876
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 4: way to get points. So now we're proving it could

877
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 4: be analytical, it could be experiential, it could be you know,

878
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 4: any number. It's a bad way to try to get points.

879
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: Mm hmm, that's a good question. I have banned certain

880
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 4: phrases from the show because people of our ilk never

881
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 4: you Dan, But I would say more than the Netts

882
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 4: have used them in a way that have rendered them meaningless.

883
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 4: These are cliches. You want me to tell you?

884
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 2: Now?

885
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 4: Can I give you a little Well, I'm gonna give

886
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 4: you partially of the list elite narrative optics if we

887
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 4: even approach any of those three words your And then

888
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 4: there's even one more that comes up quite often. It's

889
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 4: when you use one sport and you bring in another

890
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:36,399
Speaker 4: sport to use your analogy because because you couldn't talk

891
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 4: about this sport, well that's called first take goodness, they're

892
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 4: gonna get me canceled before the week's well yeah, I

893
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 4: mean I believe this to be the case. If we're

894
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 4: talking hockey, we're talking hockey, don't you dare bring in

895
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 4: you know, Steph Curry or whatever to make your camp

896
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 4: your comps. So so that's another part of that. So

897
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 4: those are the band phrases. That's how you lose points,

898
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 4: That's how you lose Before we'd have this filter that

899
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 4: I would stamp on there and there would be a siren,

900
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 4: and then the panelists would stop talking in the middle

901
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 4: because they thought, you know, they were getting pulled over

902
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 4: in their studio or something. I don't know, So then

903
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 4: I had to be more.

904
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, okay, So you give them the topic

905
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,720
Speaker 2: and then you'll judge them. Yeah, you'll give them points. Okay,

906
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 2: I heard it coming in.

907
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: I think Brock Purdy was an interesting development in the

908
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,759
Speaker 4: NFL because we all know how we rank our top

909
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 4: five and top ten and top fifteen quarterbacks, and we

910
00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 4: know about the success of the forty nine ers over

911
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 4: the last five years, in part because of the structure

912
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 4: of his salary as a rookie. So let's go around

913
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 4: the horn on Rock Party Rock Purty's new deal at

914
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 4: over fifty million per for Purty around the Horn Paul.

915
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 9: The forty nine ers had no choice but to sign him.

916
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 9: He bailed them out of the tray Land situation. Damn

917
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 9: ding ding ding ding, dam thing paint him yet handing.

918
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 9: He's good, not great, but not bad enough to move on.

919
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:04,360
Speaker 4: Terrible way to make an argument, Baul, not great, Just

920
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 4: leave it at good. He's good, all right, Fritzy, Do

921
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 4: I see you back there? Around the horn Fritzy by

922
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 4: her self.

923
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 8: When did the San.

924
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine has become the San Francisco Desperados?

925
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,439
Speaker 4: Are they like a UFL team?

926
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 1: Now?

927
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 4: How desperate can you beat uspend that kind of money?

928
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 8: They didn't win a ball?

929
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 4: How desperate are we that we're trying to get that

930
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,480

938
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 4: Plus they got it done before preseason.

977
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 4: The thing about the camera, hit the lens is everything.

978
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 4: I've hit the camera eighty percent of the time. But

979
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 4: you don't hit the lens. It doesn't look like it.

980
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 4: You know, I'm not that I'm explaining this. What kind

981
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 4: of athlete? Were you?

982
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 2: Not?

983
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 4: A great one? I was a passionate one, but I

984
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 4: didn't grow until I was eighteen years of age. So

985
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,480
Speaker 4: I may have been the best soccer player at eight

986
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 4: and a good baseball player at nine, and it was

987
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 4: over for me pretty early on, which is how you

988
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 4: become stat boy. That and not going on a date

989
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:19,279
Speaker 4: for your entire high school career is how you learn

990
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 4: about the encyclopedia. And once again I tell you I mean,

991
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 4: I mean my bit wearing around a cardboard box pretending

992
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 4: I'm you. You know, it doesn't go over so great

993
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 4: at the school dance, you know.

994
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 2: Tony, reality host of Around Horn the last episode on Friday,

995
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: Do you know what you're going to say at the

996
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:37,919
Speaker 2: end of Friday show?

997
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I felt this way for a few months.

998
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 4: Even have you practiced this? Not yet? I may, I

999
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 4: think I will. I know what I'm going to be

1000
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 4: doing in the first three minutes of the show, and

1001
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,879
Speaker 4: that's what I'm very excited about. I've already got bought

1002
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:54,399
Speaker 4: the music script, you know, and procured the music, and

1003
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 4: I have a very special guest coming by the studio too.

1004
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 4: That means something to me and my family, and I'm

1005
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 4: excited for that. And I think a lot of people

1006
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 4: know a little about me, may know where I'm going

1007
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 4: with those first three minutes of walking onto the set.

1008
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 4: And then I'm gonna, you know, on the back end

1009
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 4: of the show. I think I'm gonna explain the scoring system.

1010
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 4: I think I'm gonna find that. I think finally, and

1011
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 4: the stats are important to me. I came in a

1012
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,719
Speaker 4: stats boy. I'm gonna show the final stats of Around

1013
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 4: the world. I wondered though. You know, Tony and Mike

1014
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 4: labeled you stat boy.

1015
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I sometimes it's hard to get out of that.

1016
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 4: Oh you're just stat boy, right. Yeah, it's like being

1017
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 4: a marine. Once you're a marine, you're always a marine.

1018
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,279
Speaker 4: Once your stat boy, you're always a step by. I

1019
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 4: don't I don't take that. I was called Bambi when

1020
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 4: I was playing college rugby. Baby. Yeah, that's not a

1021
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 4: great now, No, not for a rugby player. And I

1022
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 4: was alright with that because two career tackles would prove

1023
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 4: that I ran away from action. No, I this is

1024
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 4: just about connection. I love that people call me stat

1025
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 4: boy in the street today. It happened yesterday more more specifically,

1026
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, and I'll I'll carry that one to

1027
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 4: the end. Sure anybody get really upset with the mute button?

1028
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,480
Speaker 4: Oh sure, Fame Mariotti got very upset with the mute

1029
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: button for his ten years on the show. There have

1030
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 4: been times I know how to take the temperature of

1031
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 4: even you know, some of our greats, you know, Woody Page.

1032
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 4: It's good to give a call to people if I

1033
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 4: can say anything. Check in with your people. You know

1034
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 4: you're doing. I'm trying to make a moment on TV.

1035
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 4: He's trying to make a moment on TV. I feel

1036
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 4: like I'm being the most authentic, real reality, But I

1037
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 4: know that rubs everybody in a certain way. Some days.

1038
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 4: My energy's too big some days. So we've had conversations

1039
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 4: even in the last two years, not Woody specifically, but

1040
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 4: me and some panelists. I'm like, yeah, maybe I overstepped

1041
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 4: there that you know where my heart is, but that's

1042
00:50:42,200 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 4: on me, and you got to make that phone call.

1043
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 2: Ever objected to anything that would he put on his chalkboard.

1044
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 4: Well, he certainly got us in trouble once he put

1045
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 4: a one nine hundred number up there. Now, this was

1046
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,080
Speaker 4: a time when they're once again usfl baby. This was

1047
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 4: a time when they're nine hundred numbers usually came on

1048
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 4: at about eleven o'clock at night, and they were telling

1049
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 4: you about, oh, the sexiest time you're gonna have of

1050
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 4: your life over a telephone. Well, would he put on

1051
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 4: a number that said one nine hundred some some three

1052
00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 4: letters h O R N the name of our show.

1053
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 4: The name of our show, maybe even in the UK

1054
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 4: would come off in a different way. Right around the

1055
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 4: horn suggests something a little bit different over there. So

1056
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 4: in fact, that phone number did take you to a

1057
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 4: number for sexy time. Did would he know this? I

1058
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 4: think we know Woody a little bit. I think he

1059
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,440
Speaker 4: knew this. Did any of us know this? No, But

1060
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 4: that's what happened that one time. Yeah, that's the true story.

1061
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 4: You ever get brought on the carpet by management? Not once? Never?

1062
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 4: Then you were you weren't. I wasn't doing it right,

1063
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 4: you were not.

1064
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 7: I told you.

1065
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 4: If I have a regret, it's that I didn't bang

1066
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 4: the drum about how strong our show was doing or

1067
00:51:56,040 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 4: and I mean somebody said recently controvert this show. Never

1068
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:03,879
Speaker 4: a knew you'd be two three articles we written about

1069
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 4: us saying that topic was too far fine. Never once

1070
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 4: was that the case. I got two conversations in twenty

1071
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 4: years of keep on doing what you're doing. That was

1072
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 4: the That's the entirety. And again there's pros and cons

1073
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 4: to this. There's a David Letterman, of course, another idol

1074
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 4: of mine, interviewed warren Zevon his favorite musician at the

1075
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 4: end of his life, and he says very heartfully on

1076
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 4: the show, well, maybe going to a doctor, never going

1077
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 4: to a doctor, for all those seventy years. Was a

1078
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 4: bad strategy. Maybe not check it in about you know,

1079
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 4: in anything. I want more. I want this, we need this,

1080
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,320
Speaker 4: we demand more. I want to see us on ESPN

1081
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,080

1130
00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 2: dismantling the set around him during this. I thought about

1131
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 2: that during the show. I do have a cone of

1132
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,839

1135
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 2: freaks out because he gets clausterphobic a little. Yeah yeah,

1136

Speaker 2: all right, So you brought gifts. So I brought gifts

1137
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:25,680
