00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 2: The Way tire buying should be an absolute jam packed show. Tonight,

9
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: we promised to have another raucous midnight hour with your

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: calls at midnight Pacific time. You had about an hour

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 2: from now. From where I sit, it will be midnight

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: literally in Las Vegas, and from where you sit it'll

13
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: either be literally midnight or Figuras with midnight. As we

14
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: look forward. I'll set those topics up a little later

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: in the show. And we have three very prominent names

16
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: in the news this week, all arouse emotion. Two of

17
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: the three are very polarizing, but people care. The opposite

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: of love is not hate, it's indifferent. So you've all

19
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: got opinions. Certainly, we are going to get to the

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley situation. I told Ian I called him on Sunday.

21
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: He'll back me on this. I said, whether our win

22
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: lose or drawing ian on this, you know, I want

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: you to pull the sound because I was veheman about

24
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 2: the fact I did not think Bobby Hurley, Danny Hely,

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: excuse me, was coming to the Lakers and I've got receipts.

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: We also have to get to the Caitlin Clark situation

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 2: and our multiple angles. They'll do that bottom of the

28
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: hour and we are in a minute. I'm going to

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: give a tribute to Jerry West. I only met Jerry

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: West one time, but you knew you were in the

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 2: presence of royalty. I'll explain why in just a second,

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: but ever so quickly. The gratuitous coverage of the NBA Finals.

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: Do we have a series, No, we don't have a series.

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: We got bupp gus please please If Dallas goes to

35
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: Boston on Monday and wins, and then comes back and

36
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 2: wins in Dallas in Game six, we'll talk about it then, okay.

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, yeah, sure, we got a serious

38
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: I think you had a better chance of led Zeppelin

39
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: the re recording the Gilligans Island theme song and selling

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: a million copies than watching these MAVs come back and

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: beat Boston. Boston will not a walk about tonight. They

42
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: do that, I think they're gonna I think they're gonna

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 2: ride Dallas like a stick horse on Monday. I could

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: be wrong. They're a seven point favorite, but a couple

45
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: things give Don Chick and Kyrie. They finally got some

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: help from their supporting cast. Their role players stepped up,

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 2: Luka played some defense. How about that the MAVs killed

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: the Celtics and all the hustle stats. Whoop d damn

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: do okay? Whoop d dam do Boston look like a

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: disinterested team tonight? But you know it's against a law

51
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: of practice psychology without a license, even though I do

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: it often. So let's just leave it right there. The

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: one thing, the loss of Christavs persingus in games three

54
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: and four, frankly, has been significant. The numbers don't lie.

55
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: For the second straight game, the MAVs just poll acts

56
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: the Celtics and the paint earinning a sixty to twenty

57
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: six advantage on the rebounding side. By the way, is

58
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: scoring in the paint excuse me? And that doncis nerving

59
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 2: scored all the mass first ten points coming in the paint,

60
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: so clearly, Boston, missus porsingis we are a long ways

61
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 2: away from discussing whether or not there could be some

62
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 2: high drama basketball here, So let's just leave it right there.

63
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: There's my ninety seconds of gratuitous NBA Finals coverage. I'm

64
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 2: sorry this has had all the excitement of a Woody

65
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: Allen rerun movie that you hated in the first place.

66
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: Actually I like woodyell movies. Why did I go there? Okay,

67
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: let's get to the meet. Jerry West passed this week,

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: and I want to get one thing off my chest

69
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: because one of the narratives around Jerry West has always been, well,

70
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: only want one championship. Look, Jerry West is not like Lebron.

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: When you lose, he blames everybody else, and when he wins,

72
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: he takes all the credit. I want to share with

73
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: you just a small slice of history because Jerry West

74
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: never would have said this. And I only met him

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: one time, and when I got to talk to him,

76
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: I looked at him and I go, my god, this

77
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: guy listens to you on a different level. And anybody

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: who's met West, and here's me right now. We'll talk

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: about this with Mark Mendin it is Saturday night. Those

80
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 2: that I'm talking about. He had an extreme ara about him,

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: Jerry West. He was an extremely special human being and

82
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: a somewhat tortured human being. He was a human being.

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: But when the Lakers lost to the Celtics in nineteen

84
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: sixty nine, I want to share some things that people

85
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: don't know about, you know, because back then the games

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: were played on tape delay, and look, people, the NBA

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 2: Finals were an afterthought. That's all the way up till

88
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: nineteen seventy nine. Did I watch a game? No, I

89
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 2: didn't watch a game, but I'm a historian. I know

90
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: about the game, and I was an intern at the form,

91
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 2: and I know a lot of people. West was actually

92
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: in the finals of He was the MVP of the

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: Finals that season, the only, the only Finals MVP in

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: the history of the NBA Finals. That's the Department of

95
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: Redundancy department to garner that award in a losing effort.

96
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 2: See Boston won the series four to three. But here's

97
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: a big butt peewee. In Game four, they beat the

98
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 2: Lakers eighty nine eighty eight. That was the final eighty

99
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 2: nine eighty eight of the eighty eight points the Lakers scored.

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 2: West had forty forty. He was ten or ten from

101
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 2: the free throw line. Will who's a pretty good player.

102
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 2: He shot two for eleven from the free throw line

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: that night. Elgin Baylor was one of five from the

104
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: free throw line that night. Those two superstars combined for three.

105
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: They went three for sixteen from the free throw line.

106
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: If they had gone five for sixteen, the Lakers were

107
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 2: won that championship. In Game seven, the Lakers lost by

108
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: two points. West made fourteen none of eighteen free throws.

109
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: The rest of the team win fourteen twenty nine. It

110
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: was hack a shack before that was even So, when

111
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 2: people try to tell me that West only one ring,

112
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. There's all kinds of NBA

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 2: Finals records that Jerry West set one because of him,

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 2: and Jerry would have never said that, but I can.

115
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: He said, here's the deal. When it was announced Wednesday

116
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 2: morning that Jerry West passed at age eighty six, people

117
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: think they know who this guy was. Okay, most do,

118
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: most many don't. He clearly was one of the most

119
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 2: influential figures in NBA history period, but not just NBA history.

120
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 2: He was an All American in West Virginia, He won

121
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: a gold medal in the Roma Olympics in nineteen sixty.

122
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: He played for the Lakers for fourteen seasons. His last

123
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 2: year was nineteen seventy four. That's fifty years ago. Okay

124
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: led the team to an NBA title in seventy two.

125
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: He was again, as I mentioned, NBA Finals MVP when

126
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: the Lakers lost to the Bill Russell led Celtics in

127
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: sixty nine herculean effort. I think he had more than

128
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 2: forty points in four of the games. Matter of fact,

129
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: Jerry West in the history of the NBA Finals has

130
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: more forty point games than anybody in history and more

131
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 2: thirty point games than anybody in history. He was also

132
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 2: a great, tenacious defender and a superb passer. He was

133
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: an All Star in every single season of his fourteen

134
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 2: year career. Now nineteen seventy six. Two years after Jerry

135
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: West retired, he became the head coach of the Lakers,

136
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: and he led to the team to the playoffs three

137
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: straight years. And then he decided to transition into a

138
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: scouting role. And this is where Jerry West truly puts

139
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: an exclamation point on him being a genuine basketball savant.

140
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: I called Jerry West the Simon Cowell of basketball. Now,

141
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: why do I do that? Y'all know who Simon Kyle is.

142
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: He's a billionaire for a very good reason. Simon Kyle,

143
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: even as a young man in England, not only had

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: a gift to ascertain whether or not somebody could sing,

145
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: he was able to truly project whether or not this

146
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: individual who could sing, whether or not their songs would

147
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: be commercially successful. And he was a cannily right, candidly right.

148
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 2: Jerry West was the same way. I don't know if

149
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: there's better ever been a better talent evaluator in the

150
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: history of the NBA. Then he was named general manager

151
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: of the Lakers in eighty two. It was Jerry West

152
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: who really helped dissemble the historic Showtime roster, which won

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: five championships. West ten years later NBA Executive of the Year.

154
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 2: He's the one who made the trade that brought Kobe

155
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 2: Bryant to Los Angeles and signed Shaquille O'Neal as a

156
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 2: free agent. Then he won a sixth championship as an

157
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: executive in two thousand. Then he left the Lakers. The

158
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: team that Jerry West assembled won three consecutive titles from

159
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 2: two thousand to two thousand and two. Then Jerry West

160
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: went to work as the general manager of the Memphis

161
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 2: Grizzlies for five years. Won his second NBA Executive of

162
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: the Year award in two thousand and four. He then

163
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: joined the Golden State Warriors front office twenty eleven and

164
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: was part of two more championship teams in fifteen and seventeen.

165
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: In total, Jerry West had a hand in nine NBA

166
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: titles as a player and executive. Yeah, I know Lebron

167
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: wants to be executive, but you might want to leave

168
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: the Russell Westburg thing off your resume, just saying. One

169
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: of West's nicknames was the logo. It's the silhouette that's

170
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 2: been featured on the NBA logo that was created and

171
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: has been since nineteen sixty nine. There's a whole backstory

172
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: there that even includes Dick Shapp. I'll tell it maybe

173
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: later tonight or on My Saturday show. Then, of course,

174
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: Jerry West was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame

175
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: as a player in twenty ten. He was also inducted

176
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame as a contributor to the

177
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: sport for his work as an executive and consultant. Just

178
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: a few months ago. Jerry West was a man of

179
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: immense talent, but he also had a work ethic that

180
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 2: was clearly unmatched. This is how he had the Hall

181
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: of Fame career with the Lakers, became a fourteen time

182
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: NBA All Star World Champion in seventy two. When he

183
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: retired in seventy five, again, he went on to become

184
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: one of the best general managers in the NBA, Executive

185
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: of the Year, et cetera, et cetera, etc. Here's the

186
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: part where Jerry West is truly human. For all of

187
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: his success, he was a tortured soul. He really could

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: knock you it over as a session with winning. He

189
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: had tremendous scars in his childhood. He trolled Roy Firestone

190
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 2: that he pointed a shotgun at his father one night

191
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: when his father was physically abusing his mother for the

192
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: YOUMPT Team time and said, if you don't stop, I

193
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: will kill you. And I believe Roy said, you know,

194
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: you'd have gone to jail. He goes, I know, but

195
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: I would have killed him. You see, to look in

196
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: his eye, that's some serious stuff, folks. At times, Jerry

197
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: West would become so down he would isolate himself and

198
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: avoid social interactions, even from his wife and children. But

199
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: the truth of the matter is the world not only

200
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 2: lost their great basketball player on Wednesday, they lost their

201
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: great human being. He was an incredible executive, a great

202
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: spokesperson for how to deal with depression, and in the end,

203
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 2: Jerry West was a genuine role model as a player

204
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: and as a human being. He shared his personal demons

205
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 2: in his battles with the hope that other people would

206
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: seek help. This barely scratches the surface of truly who

207
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 2: Jerry West was as a basketball player, a man, an executive,

208
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: a human being, an athlete, an icon, and a role model.

209
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: There's no way we could do with justice. I'd have

210
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: to spend the whole three hours, and perhaps we'll touch

211
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 2: on it over the weekend when I have a couple

212
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: more Jerry West anecdotes I will share with you coming up. Bobby,

213
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 2: why do I keep saying Bobby Hurley? Maybe it's because

214
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: Bobby Hurley has always lorded over Danny. Not anymore, Not anymore.

215
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley, as I thought, did not take the Lakers job.

216
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: I'm going to get into the weeds a little bit

217
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: here and tell you why and why for me, it

218
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: was completely expected. Do I think it was a leverage plate? No?

219
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: Maybe in someblat inert No, that was not as intent.

220
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: I understand how people would draw that conclusion, but that's

221
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: not his makeup. When you look into his roots, his influence,

222
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 2: from his father, his wife, growing up in that culture

223
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: in Jersey City, what really drives him? And it ain't

224
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 2: money and it ain't fame. Like a lot of people,

225
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 2: I hear some people say, well, the Lakers call you

226
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: gotta jump? Really, why is that? Well, Danny Hurley didn't.

227
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that coming up and set

228
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 2: the record, strate and reconcile what I told En and

229
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: lu folks on the air last week, and we will

230
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,080

268
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 2: am Pacific, FAVEM Eastern. Just getting started. All right, A

269
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: week ago tonight, I said it, and I repeated it

270
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: on Saturday, I thought there was a ten percent chance

271
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: that Danny Hurley would take the Lakers job. I brought receipts.

272
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: I'll have more receipts, and I told the in the

273
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 2: next day, I said, he in, please grab the sound.

274
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 2: I'll take my medicine either way. But I feel very

275
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: strongly this week, and I started making phone calls, and

276
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: the more I talk to people, the more I realized

277
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: one percent was probably ten percent was probably one percent.

278
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: So let's turn back the clock a week and give

279
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 2: it a Listen to what I said. In case you've

280
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 2: been on Mars or you haven't heard. The Lakers are

281
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 2: targeting Danny Hurley. Is that Danny Hurley. He may have

282
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: no NBA coaching experience, but he is an exquisite coach.

283
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: He's done well everywhere he's been, and he is looking

284
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: to three p at Yukon, where he's truly built a culture.

285
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: He has built a family, a loyal family. I'm going

286
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: to make a bold prediction, and it's an opinion, but

287
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 2: it's what I would call an educated opinion. I'm going

288
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: to predict there's only a ten percent chance Danny Hurley

289
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 2: becomes the Lakers head coach. Now, not because I don't

290
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: think Danny Hurley's fabulous or do a great job. I

291
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: think he would not because it'll be the Lakers turning

292
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: him down. I think when push comes to showf early

293
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: will turn down the Lakers, and I'll take my medicine.

294
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: And I think we should know by next week at

295
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: this time. We're not going to know the next couple

296
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: of days, and I think I think by next week

297
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 2: at this time, and I'd sign out for my Friday

298
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: show June fourteenth, I think we'll know. So here we are.

299
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: Let's start with this. If you haven't noticed, Danny Hurley

300
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 2: is the perfect frontman for modern college basketball. He's got

301
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: a big enough personality to put the sport on his shoulders.

302
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: He's got that fiery persona that they can call upon

303
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: becomes sometimes a side show, but he's also a very thoughtful,

304
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 2: introspective person. If you don't think so, how in this

305
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 2: crazy age of nil transfer portal and all the michigots

306
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 2: that goes along with it, can he be a guy

307
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: that has this roster construction that's a model that people

308
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: are trying to copy. He takes guys from the transfer portal,

309
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: brings in elite freshmen, top transfers, multi year rotation players.

310
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: NBA draft choices still manages to emphasize player development messes,

311
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: all of them. Creating a team with a whole is

312
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 2: better than some of its parts. Danny Hurley has brought

313
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: so many new ideas to the table from an x's

314
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 2: and no standpoint. He's even got Lebron raving about him.

315
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley has brought new ideas to the table from

316
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 2: an x's and no standpoint because he embraces an offensive

317
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 2: system that runs more sets than just about anybody in

318
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: college basketball, and he has influenced other schools. He's influenced overseas,

319
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 2: pro teams, high school teams, AAU games. He's doing it,

320
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 2: by the way, at a true basketball school at Yukon.

321
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: This is a program that won three titles under Jim

322
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 2: Calhoun and another other Kavanalli and Yukon has said, forget it,

323
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: we're a basketball school. We're betting big on hoops over football.

324
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 2: They that's the American for the Big East in twenty twenty.

325
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 2: Tells you everything you need to know. Now, as I

326
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 2: mentioned last week, here's why I believe that Danny Hurley

327
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 2: would never take the job. Number One. Chuck Daly once

328
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: told me that coaching at the NBA is all about

329
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: managing an adult daycare center. I don't say that in

330
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 2: the pejorative. He's are grown men, or you could say

331
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: grown ash men if you want to sound cool. And

332
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: they have jobs and families and lives and their multi

333
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: millionaires and you got to treat these men like men.

334
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: And Chuck Daly knew how to do that. Daddy Rich knew.

335
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 2: You walking a who's this guy with the Italian suits?

336
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't care about him. You gotta win him over.

337
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: You know, Danny Hurley is a teacher. He's his father's son,

338
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 2: and that's really his the gift he brings the ability

339
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: to teach basketball on an individual and team concept level.

340
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: So here's a cliche. The NBA is a players league.

341
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: College basketball is a coaches league. You see where I'm

342
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: going with this. He's already allegedly Yukon. He's got a

343
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 2: legit chance to three peat. I had a caller last

344
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 2: week saying, that's no big deal. Really, well, the only

345
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: guy that's done it was John Wooden. Can you imagine

346
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: me a name in the same breath as John Wooden.

347
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: This is so good for college basketball that he's returning. Now.

348
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: I knew the minute he got home. I mean he could,

349
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 2: you know, I judge people by their actions. Don't tell

350
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 2: me he show me he could wait to get out

351
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 2: of LA. He did. He even spend the night there,

352
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: got back, went to the Billie Joe concert with his

353
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: assistant coach. The minute he got back. There's not a

354
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: doubt in my mind. He had a caucus with his

355
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 2: wife Andrea and his dad and they said, son, you

356
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 2: know who you are. This is not you, at least

357
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 2: not right now. Okay, maybe you get an NBA job

358
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: down the road, but don't miss his chance in history.

359
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: And you've preached loyalty, and you had players like Alex

360
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 2: Caravan who said, I'm not going to go to the NBA. Coach,

361
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: you would have been a clear draft choice. I'm coming back.

362
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: This will be the number one story to watch in

363
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 2: college basketball this year, Danny Hurley's quest two and three.

364
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 2: So we returned because he's a family guy, and it's

365
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: all about family where he's at, the culture, his father,

366
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 2: his wife, his team, the loyalty. Jason Smith is right,

367
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 2: he was never gonna leave. I don't think leverage was

368
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: his goal with some of that in there, maybe, and

369
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: so what you know, what you play your hand in life.

370
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: If you've got that hand to play, I don't think

371
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 2: that's problematic at all. Maybe that became part of it,

372
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: But I don't know how much leverage he needs. He's

373
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 2: won back to back titles. Who they hell they're going

374
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 2: to hire you? By the way, he already turned down

375
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: Kentucky as well. That doesn't know where his really hard is.

376
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 2: His heart is, by the way, with all due respect,

377
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: and I lived a lot of my life in southern California,

378
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: La eight for everybody, all right, moving from Jersey City

379
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 2: where he's from. Well he lives in Stores, Connecticut now.

380
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 2: But his wife talks about that, she's a Jersey girl

381
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: through and through, and she can channel on her inner

382
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: Snookie anytime she wants, you're gonna go to La That's

383
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 2: an entirely different planet. I don't think they would have acclimated.

384
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 2: And then you're in this white hot spotlight called the Lakers.

385
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: And if you win, Lebron will take the credit. Suck

386
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 2: all the room out of the air. I can't even talk,

387
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: suck all the air of the room. And if you lose, well,

388
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: you know who's gonna get the blame. And they've had

389
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 2: seven coaches since Phil Jackson. This is Lebron's fourth. It's

390
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 2: a circus. And then he got the Bronni James situation.

391
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: You know, Lebron, if Bronni's so excited about having Danny

392
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 2: Hurley coach him, why don't you have him in a

393
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: roll at Yukon. Let's see if he makes a team,

394
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 2: he gets on the floor, then he can have Danny

395
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: Hurley coach him full time. How about them apples? All right?

396
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 2: So the truth of the matter is this didn't make

397
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: sense anywhere. And I know for some people who are

398
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: starstruck having the Lakers tap you on the shoulder as

399
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: the greatest thing since Pepperoni pizza. How can you turn

400
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 2: that down? Easy? Let me tell you something I will

401
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: go to my grave believing Darbnham got screwed. I know

402
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: you all think you're smarter than he is. I remember

403
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: Darvinham on the two thousand and four Pistons. He was

404
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: a great role player. That's the team Larry Brown coached,

405
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 2: and they beat the Lakers in five games with defense

406
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: and defensive chemistry. It was amazing. Darvinham was a dude, man.

407
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: I love the guy. Maybe I maybe talked to him

408
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 2: one time, If that, yeah, I think I did. He

409
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: was a great guy. He got the Lakers to the

410
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 2: NBA Conference Finals last year. He's twenty four games over

411
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: five hundred, and you're always going to find something on

412
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: the Lakers coach. He did with Frank Vogel to do

413
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: with everybody. It's the word on Lincoln's nose. So why

414
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: would Danny Hurley subject himself to that? When he's on

415
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: top of the world in a very popular sport, he'll

416
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 2: be the number one story. He's a great ambassador for

417
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 2: college basketball. He's got the cheat code, man, and he's

418
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: got his family, and he's all about family. And the

419
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Lakers can preach family. This ain't a family. This era

420
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 2: of the Laker of basketball is really frankly a bit

421
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: of a circus act. With all due respect and I

422
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 2: respect the Lakers organization. I still think they're iconic. I

423
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: know if once Boston passes them, it gets their nineteenth title.

424
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 2: The Lakers aren't gonna like it. Well, they're gonna have

425
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: to do something about it. But it ain't gonna happen

426
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 2: anytime soon. We'll talk about this later. We might be

427
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 2: talking about this in the midnight hours. To hold that

428
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: thought in about thirty minutes, will be taking your calls

429
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 2: eight seven, seven, nine, nine, six, sixty three, sixty nine.

430
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 2: Coming up, Caitlin Clark, meet Charles Barkley and Isaiah Thomas.

431
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: Why would I invoke those names? Well, i'll tell you.

432
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: Coming up first, let's go to our guy, Kevin Figures

433
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 2: with the latest.

434
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 6: All right, Bernie and the Celtics have to put the

435
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 6: brooms away.

436
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 7: On Friday night, the Mavericks winning Game four of the

437
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 7: NBA Finals, and convincing fashion at that. The Finals score

438
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 7: one twenty two to eighty four, the third most lopsided

439
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 7: margin in the history of the Finals. Luca Doantics scoring

440
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 7: a game high twenty nine points, Kyrie Irving chipping in

441
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 7: twenty one points and six assists. The Celtics still lead

442
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 7: the series three games to one and can close out

443
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 7: at home on Game five on Monday Nights and Mitch

444
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 7: and Charles Barkley. He did announce after the game that

445
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 7: next season will be his last as a commentator on

446
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 7: TV for the NBA. At the US Open, litt vic

447
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 7: Obert shot a one hundred sixty nine. He has a

448
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 7: one stroke lead over Bryson De'shambeau and a couple of others.

449
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 7: Scottie Scheffler barely made the cut at five older, while

450
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 7: Tiger Woods missed the cut.

451
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 6: In Major League.

452
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 7: Baseball, the Dodgers got the tie breaking RBI single from

453
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 7: Freddie Freeman in the bottom of the eighth to come

454
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 7: back and beat the Royals four to three. Mitch Garver

455
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 7: went deep for Seattle in a three to two victory

456
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 7: over the Rangers. Arizona all over the White Sox, seven

457
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 7: to one victories for the Twins, Phillies, and Atlanta.

458
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 6: Back to Bernie Fritto.

459
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Kevin, All right, let's talk Caitlin Clark.

460
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: You may have heard of her. She is perpetually in

461
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: the news. And Caitlin Clark has clearly arrived, clearly arrived.

462
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 2: Everything that's happened to her, from the elbow in the

463
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 2: back and slamming her on the floor from behind, to

464
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: all the name calling, the jealousy, the anger, the petulance. Dude,

465
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 2: they don't take shots at you if you sit at

466
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: the end of the bench. Caitlin Clark has arrived because

467
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 2: of the hate, I'm telling you. And it sort of

468
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 2: came to a boil last weekend when they named the

469
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: Olympic roster and Caitlin Clark was omitted. Now, this may

470
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 2: come as a surprise to you, but I'm okay with

471
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 2: a decision. I get the decision. I actually do while

472
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: being a huge Caitland Clark plan, huge Caitlin Clark supporter,

473
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: and I'll give you my receipts coming up here just

474
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: a second. But the truth of the matter is Caitlin

475
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 2: Clark's not the first person to be left off of

476
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 2: an All Star team or an Olympic team. And I know,

477
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 2: I realize, you know, they keep making it up as

478
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 2: they go along. These people who run the committee in

479
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,239
Speaker 2: the NBA. The lack of leadership in total inability for

480
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: me to create some kind of cojing narrative. They just

481
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: make it up. As it go along again. It's like

482
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: the Woody Allen movie. You know, bananas. I'll tell that

483
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: story later in the show. I might need Mark to

484
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,359
Speaker 2: tea at my lafe track. But let me just stay

485
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 2: on point here because I'm holding two thoughts concurrently. I

486
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 2: think Kaitlyn Clark. Well, First of all, Kaitlin Clark's the

487
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: all time leading scorer. You may not like that, but

488
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: it's a fact. See, because ideal an objective truth, not

489
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 2: personal feels when it comes to speaking my mind. Everybody's

490
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 2: up in their fields about this. But you know what

491
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: if I told you back in nineteen eighty four, Bobby

492
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 2: Knight cut a guy by the name of Charles Barkley

493
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: part of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, and that

494
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: team went on to win a gold medal. Barkley was tremendous.

495
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 2: He was a guy who'd blocked. He'd dunk on one

496
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: end of the four and fly back to the under the

497
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: floor and block your shot played on both ends of

498
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: the floor. They may have been called the ron man

499
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 2: the rebound, but he could do it all. Barkley would

500
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: have been a great asset to that team. Bobby Knight

501
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: cut him. Didn't like him. There are reasons he didn't

502
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: like him, didn't like his attitude, I guess, but the

503
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: rest is history. And I always believed Knight made a mistake.

504
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: But they went on to win the gold medal. Oh yeah,

505
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 2: back in nineteen ninety two. Now, you may or may

506
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: not remember when the Pistons lost to the Bulls and

507
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 2: the Torches. It were was passed to Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas,

508
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: and Crewe walked off the floor. Not all of them,

509
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 2: Joe Dumar state on. A lot of guys stayed on

510
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: the floor, but Isaiah walked off with about a minute

511
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 2: a half to go. And wasn't I like Isaiah. It's

512
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: not one of his better looks. Well. About eight months later,

513
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 2: the Olympic Basketball Dream Team Committee was assembling their team

514
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: and they had not gotten a commitment from Michael Jordan,

515
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan was quite quiet about about it. So

516
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 2: the committee reached out to him and George says, I'll

517
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 2: tell you what fax be the roster. Let's see who's

518
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 2: not on it. I'll ta if you want to play. Well.

519
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: Upon receiving the facts, Jordan said, I'll pass. They scratched

520
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: their heads and said, well, maybe maybe Jordan doesn't like

521
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 2: one of the coaches. Let's refax the roster. They did,

522
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: and once again Jordan says, no, I don't want to play.

523
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: They put two and two together. The third time they

524
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: faxed the roster to Michael Jordan, Isaiah Thomas's name was

525
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: not on it. Jordan says, okay, I'll play. So if

526
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: it can happen to Isiah Thomas, and it can happen

527
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: to Charles Barkley, and it happened to Cannis Parker once,

528
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 2: it could happen to Caitlin Clark. And by the way,

529
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: the guard position is one position on the roster. It's

530
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 2: actually pretty stacked, right, So it's not the craziest decision

531
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 2: in the world. Now people have said they've missed a

532
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: Goulden opportunity to grow the game. I believe that's true.

533
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: But they picked the roster based on who they wanted

534
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 2: to be on the team, and I think they have

535
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: a bunch of different agendas. There are a lot of

536
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: complexities about this. I'm gonna have a commentary about it

537
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: Saturday night that I think extend well beyond the court.

538
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: And if you don't know that, you don't care to

539
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 2: know what You've got a different agenda. Your heads in

540
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: the sand, But I'm not gonna deal with that tonight.

541
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna deal with objective truce. Here's the case for

542
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 2: those who believe Caitlin Clark should be on the team.

543
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 2: If you don't think she deserves it, Let's look at

544
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: some undeniable facts. Currently, Caitlyn Clark is thirteenth overall in

545
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: the NBA and points per game. I believe there's one

546
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 2: hundred and forty four players in the league. She's thirteenth.

547
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: By the way, Dinah Tarassi, who made the team, is fifteenth,

548
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 2: Caitlyn Clark is fourth, and assists per game. Sabrini Escu

549
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 2: is eighth, Kelsey Plumb is eleventh, and Jewel Lloyd is fourteenth.

550
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: And they're all on the list for the Olympic team.

551
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 2: By the way, Caitlyn Clark is second in three pointers made,

552
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 2: two ahead of Tarassi. Here's her first run. In her

553
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: first ten games, Caitlyn Clark scored more than one hundred

554
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: and fifty points, had more than fifty rebounds and fifty assists.

555
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: The only person that had ever done that in the

556
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 2: twenty eight year history of the WNBA was Sabrina Annascer,

557
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's a pretty good company. Caitlyn Clark also became

558
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 2: the first rookie and only the fourth player ever in

559
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 2: the league to record thirty points, five rebounds, five assists,

560
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 2: three steals and three blocks in one game. Does Caitlyn

561
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 2: Clark move the needle? By the way, she was the

562
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 2: first player ever to fastest player ever, excuse me, to

563
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 2: one hundred points and fifty rebounds, the fastest twenty eight years.

564
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: And I know, and I respect Gino Orima and his

565
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 2: body work immensely, But to imply that she was set

566
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: up for failure? What failure we talking about here? I

567
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 2: already told you two weeks ago the great Hall of

568
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: Fame players in multiple storts that started off very slow,

569
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: from William Mainz to Ken Grifford Junior to Chandy Kofax.

570
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 2: I could spend three hours on it. How about Steph Curry?

571
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 2: You know how close they came to trade Steph currk

572
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 2: because I thought he was too slight. They were going

573
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: to keep Monte Ellis. So form all your opinions you

574
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: want about Kaitlyn Clark her first month of the season.

575
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 2: But given the stats I just shared with you, seems

576
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: like she's kind of holding her own a little bit.

577
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: Is she perfect? No, she getting her pocket picked a lot. YEP.

578
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 2: That's because they blitzer every play. They mault every play,

579
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: and if you don't like here in that ahead, you

580
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 2: get your chance to call it at midnight. By the way,

581
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: we talk about moving the needle this and this is

582
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: the part that seems to get rid of people just

583
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: absolutely triggered. Okay. Oh and by the way, apparently I

584
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 2: found out that just a few hours before Clark found

585
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: out last Saturday night she was going to be on

586
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 2: the Olympic team. She made a WNBA rookie record, tying

587
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 2: seven threes and scored thirty points in front of the

588
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 2: largest NBA crowd since two thousand and six. See in Washington, DC.

589
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: They played a game against the Chicago Sky Friday night,

590
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 2: and they I think they do nine or ten thousand.

591
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: The next night in the same arena with Caitlyn Clark there,

592
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: they do twenty thousand, three hundred and thirty three. That's

593
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: more than double the crowd the Chicago's guy drew the

594
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 2: night before. I don't know if anybody want to see

595
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: the Chicago's guy play. Sure, nine thousand people did, but

596
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: twenty thousand wanted to see Kaitlin Clark play. Those are

597
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: objective truths, I thought at my fields, I'm giving you

598
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 2: real numbers, just like as sure as I sit here

599
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: on the West Coast, it's eleven thirty eight pm Pacific time.

600
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: Objective truth. Oh yeah, by the way, I forgot to mention.

601
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark also became the first player in WNBA history

602
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: with two hundred points and seventy five assists in her

603
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: first twelve career games. Yes, I get it. Picking a

604
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: rosters subjective. It's always subjective. What do you base it on?

605
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: You base it on whatever the hell you want. Just

606
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: ask Charles Barkley, just asked Michael Jordan. Just ask the

607
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety two Olympic Committee. It could happen to Barkley,

608
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: It can happen to Isaat Thomas, It can happen to

609
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: Kitlin Clark. You know what I say about that. I

610
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: think Katelyn Clark's a pretty good company. You gotta hate.

611
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: Hater's gonna hate. Taylor Swift said that I believe back

612
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen. So there you have it. There's both

613
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: sides of the coin. And let me close my diatribe

614
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: by saying, I'm okay with the decision. They picked the

615
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: Olympic team that they believe gives him the best chance

616
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: of the gold medal. Fair enough. And even though it's

617
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 2: in their mission statement to grow the game, one of

618
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: the coaches or somebody, I don't care, I'm not gonna

619
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 2: get I'm not gonna mention her name says no. No,

620
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 2: our goals to win gold medals. That's how we grow

621
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: the game. Really, you've won seven gold medals in a row.

622
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: Why the hell has the WNBA lost money twenty seven

623
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 2: straight years to the tune of ten million a year

624
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 2: and they're gonna lose fifty million this year. A topic

625
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 2: I'll get to you probably Saturday night. So there's a

626
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 2: long and the short of it coming up. We set

627
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 2: up the Midnight Hour. The Midnight Hour has been sensational.

628
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 2: We instituted it January first, as a follow up to

629
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 2: the game that Ethan Miller created for me and Bernie's

630
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 2: backyard bunking bets. People like to call in. This gives

631
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: you an opportunity, And I'm looking forward to tonight because

632
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: tonight I think we're gonna have some fireworks. But we

633
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 2: always do. But that's good. You see, as I've said,

634
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: the most boring conversations are the ones where everybody agrees.

635
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 2: So coming up in twenty minutes from where I sit,

636
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: it will be midnight from where I sit in Las Vegas,

Speaker 2: six hundred ffiliates and Serious XM Channel eighty three, from

660
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: where you sit, it will be either midnight literally or

661
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: midnight figuratively. We want to hear from you. These are

662
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: our two topics tonight. First, I do want to talk

663
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: about the Bobby. If I say Bobby Hurley one more time,

664
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm gonna kill myself with a chainsaw. Okay, all right,

665
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: let me try that again. We're gonna talk about the

666
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley situation in the Lakers. Here's what I want

667
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,799
Speaker 2: to hear from you. We don't need to psychoanalyze this.

668
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: What I want to hear from you is when you

669
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: heard he turned it down officially, which was Monday morning,

670
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 2: right around eleven am Pacific time. What was your knee

671
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 2: jerk reaction. Do you think the Lakers should be embarrassed?

672
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,320
Speaker 2: Was it a bad look? And by the way, I

673
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 2: don't think the Lakers should be embarrassed. They shot their

674
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 2: shot man. They did what they think they need to do. Look,

675
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: they're not run by Jerry Buss anymore. They're run by

676
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 2: people who are in over their head. If you don't

677
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 2: believe that, well that's your business. I think they're in

678
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 2: over their head. That doesn't mean they're not smart people.

679
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: Rob Polink is brilliant and he was part of the

680
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 2: Fab five basketball team in Michigan. Dude's very he's brilliant.

681
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 2: But in this role, I don't know. I don't know.

682
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 8: Uh.

683
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 2: And and I'm not sure you know. Jeanie Buss she's

684
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: she's she's been, you know, quite the matriarch over the years,

685
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: but no one was doctor Jerry Bussy. It wouldn't look

686
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 2: like this if he was still alive. So should the

687
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 2: Lakers be embarrassed? I don't think so. Okay, I'll throw

688
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: them a bone there. They shot their shop. Is it

689
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 2: a bad look? Yeah? Yeah. They should have known they

690
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: weren't going to get Danny Hurley period. And and what up?

691
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 2: You know now you know we're back to the JJ

692
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 2: Reddick thing and that whole deal. All right, did but

693
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 2: did Danny Hurley use them. There's this narrative that you know,

694
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: he's he's got this guile about him, that he decided

695
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 2: to just play the Lakers as fools and uh and

696
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 2: leverage to go back to getting more money out of Connecticut.

697
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 2: That wasn't his intent. Might there have been an element

698
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: of that as the conversations went on, maybe, and so

699
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 2: what the dude looking back to back? So what? But

700
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,240
Speaker 2: I truly do not believe that was the driving force.

701
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: But maybe that was your thought. How about the whole

702
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: Lebron situation? Is Lebron being there a detriment or an

703
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 2: accent if you're, you know, gonna take the Lakers job

704
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 2: and then you got Lebron and Brony and you know

705
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 2: where that whole craziness is, right? So what was your

706
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: knee jerk reaction when you heard that Danny Hurley declined

707
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,240
Speaker 2: the job? Because I'd followed a lot of Twitter threads,

708
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: a lot of people thought he would take it. You

709
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 2: don't turn on the Lakers. You don't turn on a

710
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 2: chance to coach Lebron. Why would he follow up? Okay, no,

711
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 2: no he did. Danny Hurley did the right thing by

712
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 2: showing the Lakers respect by listening and giving them their

713
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 2: day in court and not just turning him down over

714
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 2: the phone. He did the proper thing, He did the

715
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: respectful thing. Class never goes out of style. Respect never

716
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: goes out of style. Danny Hurley exhibited both. Now afterwards

717
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 2: he got a little wordy with Dan Patrick. But you

718
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 2: know what, he's got a lot on his plate right now.

719
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 2: Give the man a get throwing a bone. Okay, so

720
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 2: that's the first topic. What was your reaction when you

721
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 2: heard that? Danny Hurley said, nope, how about now? All

722
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: right back to Caitlin Clark. Did the Olympic committee make

723
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: the right decision? In your view? Did they make the

724
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: right decision? A lot of very bright, influential people have

725
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: spoken on saying, boy, do they blew an opportunity to

726
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 2: promote the game. That may be true. That may be true.

727
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to quantify that that. If Kaitlyn

728
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: Clark is just on the roster in the Olympics, how

729
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,879
Speaker 2: that makes him sell more tickets? When she sells out

730
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 2: every arena she's in, TV Rangers are through the roof

731
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 2: because of her, and the damn Sport's still gonna lose

732
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:05,839
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars this year, So I don't know how

733
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 2: you quantify that, but a lot of bright people that

734
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 2: I respect really believe that they blew an opportunity. On

735
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 2: the other hand, I'm not angry about the decision, even

736
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 2: though I'm a huge Caitlin Clark backer. I get it.

737
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 2: They picked their roster based on how they picked their roster,

738
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 2: and these things are highly subjective. I already told you

739
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 2: the situations involving Charles Barkley with Bobby Knight being left

740
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: off the team, in Isaiah Thomas being left off the

741
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: Dream Team in ninety two, I understand. I think it

742
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 2: might have been two thousand. I don't remember the year.

743
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 2: I don't really care because I don't follow the WNBA.

744
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 2: I think they do a nice job. It just kind

745
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: of bores me. I believe can now our name escapes me, Candice.

746
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,880
Speaker 2: He can't helped me out, Buddy, I'm having a brain cramp.

747
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 2: I haven't been thank you, buddy, Candace Parker. I believe

748
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 2: was snubbed one year. So that's what I get for

749
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 2: trying to go down a road like that and make

750
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: my over, make my example. So the bottom line is

751
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 2: that you know, how do you feel about this when

752
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 2: you heard Caitlin Clark was omitted from the team. And

753
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to use the word snub because she

754
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: is a rookie. She's brand new to the league. And

755
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 2: although she's doing a hell of a lot better than

756
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: a lot of people want to give her credit for

757
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,320
Speaker 2: they're pretty stacked at the guard position on this team

758
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: and they're going to win a gold medal anyway, and

759
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,359
Speaker 2: seven gold medals in the last twenty eight years hasn't

760
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 2: exactly grown the game, if you get my drift. So

761
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: I don't know what Caitlyn might have done different. She

762
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,800
Speaker 2: might have brought more eyeballs to this said, I think NBC,

763
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,759

Speaker 12: I would have.

800
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 11: Loved to have been on that floor when when Caitlin took

801
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 11: that hot foul. I would have ran her on the

802
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 11: first tee. You don't have to give someone to tease,

803
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 11: just the first t if you thought it was bad enough,

804
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,839
Speaker 11: dick gone and when the other girls stood up the chair.

Speaker 2: You always have a lot of depth. I got so

809
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 2: many calls to that. I just want your thoughts on

810
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 2: the committee. Did they make the right decision?

811
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 13: Of course not, of course not.

812
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 11: It's like Barkley says, it's about talent on that level.

813
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 11: It's about talent. Of course, you've gotta have her on

814
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 11: the team. What just because Tarassi's been on Mere like

815
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 11: for Emma, you're gonna put.

816
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: Her on her status exactly.

817
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 11: Her stat's better than all of them other people's, you know, and.

818
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 13: You just can't do that.

819
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 11: What about all those people around the world that wanted

820
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 11: to see Caleb Clark play, figuring she was coming to France.

821
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 11: Now she's not coming. I mean, she's a world renowned

822
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 11: figure out. It's just, you know, it's all petty. It's

823
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,920
Speaker 11: all about this is our league, you know, whether you're

824
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 11: gay or not, just the way we want it is

825
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 11: the way it's always always going to be.

826
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 8: But that's why you're missing.

827
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 11: Every year you're you know, ten million in the hall.

828
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 10: You know, it's about showcasing.

829
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:53,359
Speaker 11: Talent. Talent has to ride green rises to the top.

830
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 11: Talent rises to the top. And you know what, God

831
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 11: bless her. She's taken the high road. But after this year,

832
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 11: she is gonna burn every record that was and everything

833
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,240
Speaker 11: like that, and they're all gonna look foolish.

834
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 2: Jim quickly, I always appreciate your candor. Quickly, What was

835
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 2: your thoughts when Danny Hurley declined the Lakers.

836
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 11: He was never going there?

837
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: Exactly? No one could have been more emphatic on show.

838
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 11: All right, go to that clown show. You know, we

839
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 11: gotta we gotta pick Bronnie. Bronnie couldn't even make the

Speaker 2: And you good Man. So let's talk about Caitlin Clark

862
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 2: and let's talk about Danny Eery. What do you got

863
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: for us. I want to get to all the callers tonight.

864
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 15: Yes, Well on Danny, I was so happy. I was like,

865
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 15: we predicted her right here.

866
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 11: I predicted him in the midnight hour.

867
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 15: I know, Dan, Dan, he was bluffy, you know, like

868
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 15: when you play poker.

869
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 11: He was bluffing.

870
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 13: It was all the show.

871
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 15: And nobody wants to go there with the Lakers like

872
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 15: Lebron too much diva. Nobody wants to be how you say.

873
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 11: Bernie's that circle.

874
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 15: It's like it's toxic, bad energy. We don't want that

875
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 15: onto Clayton Clark. You know, I was really disappointed the

876
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 15: bad news that she didn't make the team. But I'm

877
00:44:56,680 --> 00:45:00,040
Speaker 15: like every superstar, like even uh you know my I

878
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 15: quote Jordan and he said earlier she had his obstacles

879
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 15: when he was a rookie and all this thing, and

880
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 15: that's the journey that he's gonna she's going through and

881
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 15: she's getting a lot of bad publicity and stuff.

882
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 2: So it's the right decision to leave around the off

883
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 2: the team or should she have been named the team?

884
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 15: No, it was horrible, Bernie, it was horrible. They made

885
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 15: a bad decision. But where a bad news, there comes

886
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 15: good news, and it saves the best for that. But

887
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 15: this is what I think. It's good that she's not

888
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 15: going to the Olympics. And let me tell you what,

889
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 15: because I heard over there in France the US say,

890
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 15: you know it's going to be in France, the athlete

891
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 15: they're sleeping on little cardboard boxes.

892
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 11: Bernie and then Clark.

893
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 15: She's gonna be in a machine with a nice comfty

894
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 15: bed and she's gonna be watching for she doesn't need

895
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,800
Speaker 15: to sleep in a little car and box like the homeless. O.

896
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 13: Good, that's not there, all right, Poppy.

897
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 2: I always appreciate your energy.

898
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 13: Man.

899
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: You enjoy your weekend, Poppy. Poppy's a good egg man.

900
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 2: I like Poppy. I like all the callers, but Poppy

901
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 2: is a good egg. All right, Terry, let's hope we

902
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 2: got our phone foibles worked out. Can you hear me, Terry?

903
00:45:59,160 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 2: Terry in Colorado?

904
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 10: Hello, can you hear me?

905
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: I can hear you? Just find Terry? Can you hear me?

906
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 10: I tell you what? Yes, you know, Kaitlin Clark, you

907
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 10: know it's interesting. No waiting four years? You know it'd

908
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 10: be great, pr But no, they don't need her. She

909
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 10: barely play any minutes. But it'd be great pr okay.

910
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: So the bottom line, if you believe the bottom line, Terry,

911
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 2: is you feel that the Olympic Committee coaching staff made

912
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 2: the right decision in omitting her fair I think all good?

913
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 2: You know, how good? What were your thoughts, Terry, when

914
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 2: you found out that did Danny Hurley said no to

915
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: the Lakers?

916
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:39,200
Speaker 16: Oh?

917
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 10: Wow, you know, I'd like to say something also, you know,

00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 10: as far as the ok playing for the Olympics. Uh,

Speaker 10: you know, I'm a huge Nuggets fan. You know, you

00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,879
Speaker 10: playing for the you know, national team. I'm going they

921
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,800
Speaker 10: got tired at the end. Okay, all right, how about

922
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 10: you know between him and a certain other big two,

923
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,359
Speaker 10: I'm going, oh damn, you know, I hope they don't

924
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 10: play for the but they will. They probably will, I know,

925
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 10: yokid just saying, oh, he's undecided, you know, I know,

926
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:18,320
Speaker 10: you know.

927
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 2: All right? Thanks for the call, Terry, don't be a stranger.

928
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 2: You're always welcome on the midnight Hour, Benjamin in Arizona.

929
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on the topics tonight? Do we have Benjamin ki? Hi, Benjamin,

930
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 2: you're on the air. What are your thoughts tonight on

931
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 2: whether or not Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic

932
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: team was the right decision and Danny Hurley rejecting the Lakers,

933
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: My thought.

934
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 12: Is that they should not have left Brough off the team.

935
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 12: They're cutting off their nose despite their face. If you

936
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 12: were about the money and you put that girl on TV,

937
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 12: the money is all about the money. This is going

938
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 12: to grow the game. If you're talking about growing the game,

939
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 12: are you there? And with Daniel with the early situation,

940
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 12: he was never gonna leave.

941
00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're an agreement on that, all.

942
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 12: Right, Boddy. There's a name everybody should be bringing up

943
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 12: and is Mark Jackson.

944
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 2: Oh, I agree with that. I don't know what the

945
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: dealer is on that listen Saturday night. I'll bring that

946
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: up with Mark Madina. I I'm hearing you. I hear you, Benjamin.

947
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 2: That's a good call. You got to both points quick

948
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 2: and you made your points and I appreciate that. I'm

949
00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 2: just trying to get to everybody tonight. Don't be a stranger. Emmett,

950
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 2: How are you? Emmett? What's going on?

951
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 14: Man?

952
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move along. Tony in Miami becoming a regular Tony?

953
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts to that on these two topics?

954
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 17: Not too much on Caitlin, Bernie, but I will tell

955
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 17: you I'm gonna stick with my guns because I do

956
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 17: not watch the w NBA, So I don't.

957
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 11: Want to talk about what I don't know, but I.

958
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 17: Would say I wish this treatment a banker would trickle

959
00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 17: over into the NBA. I think it's gonna find Tuner

960
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 17: to be sharper and a much better player, and eventually

961
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 17: get a guy like me who waters and mes it

962
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 17: tells people to get off his lawn to turn on

963
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 17: the TV or rests girl. And I think it'll be

964
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 17: good in the in the long run.

965
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: So you in long run, whether or not you're an

966
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 2: NBA fan, w NBA fan or not, you believe the

967
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 2: committee made a mistake and it's a missed opportunity leaving

968
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 2: Caitlyn off the team.

969
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 17: Probably yeah, probably like she she belongs.

970
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 2: Okay, you got you real quickly, Tony, my man, Danny

971
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 2: Hurley says no to the Lakers. Your thoughts on that, Bernie.

972
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 17: It's exactly where what he needed to do and where

973
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 17: he needs to be.

974
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 13: I believe that.

975
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 17: The Lakers draft Brownie James soon him might have impressed

976
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 17: the team. Aaron when he's in a FORMIX it's times

977
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 17: in the post of Jerry West and what.

978
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 2: All right? Good stuff as always Tony hold it down

979
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 2: there in Miami. We are getting to everybody. Eight seven

980
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: seven nine ninety six six three six nine. No one

981
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 2: gets shut out. Did the committee made the right decision

982
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: by leaving Kitlin off the team? Good mix of call

983
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 2: so far and your thoughts on Danny Hurley so far.

984
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 2: Nobody think Hurley should have taken the job, but we

985
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 2: talked about this last week. Emmett is up next, followed

986
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 2: by Lynn in Oceanside and Hinckley in Texas. Hang right there, nobody,

996
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 2: Did the Olympic Committee make the right decision omitting Caitlin Clark.

997
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 2: What were your thought when you found out that Danny

998
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 2: Hurley said new to the Lakers, not up in here? Okay,

999
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 2: we got amit back. What's up tonight, buddy, Bernie, Frida,

1000
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 2: what's going on? How you doing living the dream? My man?

1001
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 2: So what are your thoughts on these topics?

1002
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 18: All right?

1003
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:17,480
Speaker 19: So first off starts Kitlin Clark. I mean, this is

1004
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 19: like a good decision, and like the reason why is

1005
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 19: the people who like are in charge of this, They

1006
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 19: basically said it's because she's young, she's a rookie. So

1007
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 19: like I get Kitlin Clark as a generational talent, you know,

1008
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 19: for the WNBA.

1009
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 11: I get all that.

1010
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,000
Speaker 19: I'm a huge Kitlin Clark supporter, as you know. But

1011
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 19: I think that this is one of those things where

1012
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 19: it's like you can't be making special, special like accommodations

1013
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 19: in the situation like this, because then people are gonna

1014
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 19: want to do the same exact thing, and like it's

1015
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 19: just gonna create to a whole thing.

1016
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 2: And also, I think that's a very measured take. I

1017
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 2: think that's a very calm, collective take Emmitt, thank you, Bernie,

1018
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 2: thank you.

1019
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 19: The other thing, too, is like it's kind of a

1020
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 19: blessing in disgut. She hasn't had a really a break

1021
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 19: since you know, September, and she's gonna get a two

1022
00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 19: week break for the for the Olympics, so and she's

1023
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 19: gonna come back rerest in like hopefully pop off.

1024
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 2: Yep. But and by the way, she knows how to

1025
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 2: lift weights and get stronger, just like Steph Curry did.

1026
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 2: All right, Danny Hurtley, your thoughts there.

1027
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 19: I think that, like, yeah, you're right, he wasn't gonna

1028
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 19: take this job. But at the same time, it's kind

1029
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:24,879
Speaker 19: of a bearra thing for the Lakers do because I mean,

1030
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 19: Monty Williams was getting paid higher than they offered Danny Hurley.

1031
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 19: And I mean it's just a smart move for Danny

1032
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 19: because why would you take a job and you know,

1033
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,759
Speaker 19: the Lakers or it's just kind of a bleach o

1034
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 19: of an organization first of all, and then second of

1035
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 19: all that California.

1036
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 11: Taxes and all that.

1037
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,439
Speaker 2: I mean, just I don't think haything to do with money.

1038
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 2: You're not wrong, Ethan, but the Texas are connected aren't

1039
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 2: great either. But the thing is check that I'm sorry,

1040
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 2: dam my bad, I've been drinking. I promise, go ahead,

1041
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 2: you got the last word real quickly.

1042
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,759
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean it's right, but I mean the third,

1043
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 19: the three back to championships like that, he has a

1044
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 19: chance of going for this year with the Yukon is

1045
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 19: definitely a lot better, absolutely with the Lakers. So he's

1046
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 19: a smart man for taking it. I think you like

1047
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 19: you're saying, and Poppy was saying he was bluffing.

1048
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Bernie, all right, good good stuff

1049
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 2: em And I think the bottom line is he likes

1050
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 2: where he's at. He's on top of the world. He's

1051
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: got plenty of money. He's not a money based decision.

1052
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 2: I don't care what the Lakers would have offered him.

1053
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 2: He wasn't gonna take the job. He's got unfinished business.

1054
00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to leave his family and go to

1055
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: la It's a foreign country to him. H Lynn in

1056
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 2: Ocean Side, Lynn or you Ben Man? The midnight hour

1057
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 2: is just not the same without Lynn from Ocean Side.

1058
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:37,799

1059

1062
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 13: a guy I could sit down and talk to four hours,

1063
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 13: probably because you're just so sincere. Man.

Speaker 2: I'm saying, go go ahead, you got the floor. My man,

1068
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:01,319
Speaker 2: pick which everyone want?

1069
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 12: No?

1070
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,240
Speaker 13: Oh no, I said him. Out here working these weird hours, Bernie,

1071
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 13: sometime I'd be snoring, but I stay up trying to

1072
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 13: listen to you. This is like my lunch break from

1073
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 13: twelve to about one.

1074
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: Right, Well, we missed you the last couple three weeks, Lennai.

1075
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,439
Speaker 2: I figured, you know you got busy man. But let's

1076
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 2: start with Caitlin Clark. Did the committee make the right

1077
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 2: decision in what they did?

1078
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 13: Absolutely they made a wrong decision because you always go

1079
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 13: with the best. And I remember when they took Christian

1080
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 13: Laden over Shack. I was pissed. Shack was a professional,

1081
00:54:35,719 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 13: he was good, he was ready to go. So I

1082
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,760
Speaker 13: don't want to hear all that stuff. Caitlin Clark should

1083
00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 13: be on there because they can pick whoever they want,

1084
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 13: and you always go with the best. This woman might

1085
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 13: drop seven or eight threes in the game that you're struggling,

1086
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 13: and then you'd be glad you had her come along.

1087
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 2: Fair enough, I mean, the idea behind the you know this,

1088
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 2: this whole ordeal with the men that hours to get

1089
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 2: varying opinions from various people around the country. What were

1090
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 2: your thoughts you're there in southern California, Lynn, and what

1091
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 2: are your thoughts on Danny Hurley, you know, declining the Lakers.

1092
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 13: I had heard because I'm a longtime Laker fan, you know,

1093
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,279
Speaker 13: I watched them with my dad and the wil Chamm

1094
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 13: and Jerry West days, which brings up another topic. You'll

1095
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 13: get to it another time with his on time to death.

1096
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 13: But uh, you know what, he knew he couldn't win

1097
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 13: right now with the Lakers, So why come over here

1098
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 13: with all that heartagged? And I read something about wife

1099
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 13: he probably wasn't going to be Yeah, and wife he

1100
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,600
Speaker 13: probably wasn't going to be on board with it. So

1101
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 13: what's you going to break all that up for? You

1102
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,759
Speaker 13: go back, get your five six million with Yukon and

1103
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 13: probably three pete and be very happy. So why come

1104
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 13: to Hollywood for the drama?

1105
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 2: Yeah? I agree, I agree with you. I mean, at

1106
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 2: the end of the day, people have to live their lives,

1107
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 2: and even if you would have wanted the job, it's

1108
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 2: just such a culture going from college to the NBA,

1109
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 2: and then of course going from where he lives in

1110
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 2: the East Coast to Los Angeles. Anything else, Forest tonight? Lynn?

1111
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 13: All Right, Berne, you know, I can't stand the fact

1112
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 13: that Boston probably get another title because I'm a Laker guy.

1113
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:20,959
Speaker 13: But that's the way the cookie crumbled. But I can't

1114
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 13: stand Mark Cuban either, because he kept up from getting

1115
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 13: Chris Paul. So that's what he gets on top of that.

1116
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 2: All Right, you hold it down there in ocean side, Lynn,

1117
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: and hopefully hear from you next week. Thanks. Bud Hinkley

1118
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 2: in Texas. Love that name, Hinckley. Is that your real name, man, Yes,

1119
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 2: that is my real name. Well, I liked I like

1120
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 2: that name. I liked leaves and half of maliffiluis sound.

1121
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 4: You know.

1122
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:43,479
Speaker 2: My name is Bernie Fratto. Probably for the first twelve

1123
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 2: years of my life I hated it, but I'm okay

1124
00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 2: with it. Now. What do you got for us, Tonight, Hinckley?

1125
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 8: I think I think the entire Caitlin Clark bias is

1126
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 8: just stupid. It's just based off of pure jealousy and

1127
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 8: that is just not good reason to start an entire thing.

1128
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 8: And I heard a fact on the Jason Smith Show.

1129
00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 8: Actually three and the last four times the Olympic team

1130
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 8: has taken rookies, and so I think their entire entire

1131
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 8: argument for not taking Kitlin Clark. I mean, they're not

1132
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 8: going to say, oh, we don't want to take Kitlin

1133
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 8: Clark because of the media backlash. They're going to say, oh,

1134
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 8: we can't take Kitlin Clark because she's young. It's just

1135
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 8: like young players all the other times. What's that about?

1136
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:35,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's fair, Okay. I listen, there are varying angles

1137
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 2: by which to approach this, and I think Ankle, you

1138
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 2: touched on something that I alluded to at the top

1139
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 2: of the show, and that is they kind of make

1140
00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 2: it up as they go along. They just need to

1141
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: shut up with their roster together, then go win another

1142
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 2: gold medal and not grow the game. Seven gold medals

1143
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 2: didn't grow the game. What's the eighth one going to do? All?

1144
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 17: Right?

1145
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:55,240
Speaker 2: Thoughts on Danny Hurley Hinkley, Oh, I think.

1146
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 8: All the reasons people have said for him not taking

1147
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 8: the job are good. I think if I was in issues,

1148
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 8: I think the main reason I wouldn't take the Lakers

1149
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 8: job is two managent one Lebon is going to be

1150
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 8: a pain in the neck to coach. And number two,

1151
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 8: I don't think I particularly want to uproot my whole

1152
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 8: family and move them across the country to coach a

1153
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 8: job that I'm not.

1154
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 15: Going to enjoy.

1155
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 2: That's an outstanding call, Hinckley, you are always welcome here.

1156
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 2: Friday nights at midnight Pacific time on The Bernie Frattle Show.

1157
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 2: Two very measured responses based on personal opinion, but also

1158
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: relevant facts, specific facts. And I think that you know

1159
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:42,960
Speaker 2: you you justified your points with very relevant specifics Angeline Kansas,

1160
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: you've dialed in before. What you got for us tonight?

1161
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 13: Hey, how's it going.

1162
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 11: My first thing on on Caitlin Clark.

1163
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 16: Is that you know, this is purely straight from a

1164
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 16: from a ratings standpoint, I guess, and a profitability measurement,

1165
00:58:58,320 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 16: I guess. But if you're trying to grow the you know,

1166
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 16: women's basketball to be more mainstream than it currently is,

1167
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 16: I think that you need to have you know the

1168
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 16: current stars, regardless you know of how old they are

1169
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 16: or of you know, what they've quote unquote proven.

1170
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 3: So to speak.

1171
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 16: If you're trying to grow that brand to be, you know,

1172
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 16: the same as the NBA.

1173
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 2: Or so, okay, so you're here, you're okay with the decision.

1174
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 2: Basically leave her off.

1175
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,880
Speaker 16: No, sorry, no, I think you know, if you're trying

1176
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 16: to grow the game, you want to have the biggest

1177
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 16: stars you have.

1178
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:34,480
Speaker 2: Okay, hold that thought because it raises an esoteric point

1179
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 2: that require some context. I think Caitlin Clark's a star.

1180
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 2: I just I don't heard my commentary. She's only setting

1181
00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 2: three rookie records. What's the bottom line. They don't think

1182
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 2: she's a star. You see what I'm saying. She's putting

1183
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 2: butts in seats, she's putting eyeballs on TV, she's making

1184
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 2: the league money and they're still going to lose money.

1185
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 2: See therein lies the subtext and the context. Andrew, they

1186
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 2: don't think she's a star. As matter of fact, all

1187
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 2: they do is, you know, is junk talker. So anyway,

1188
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get that in there. Go ahead.

1189
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 16: I understand that, but like maybe more from a from

1190
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 16: a from a larger standpoint, you know.

1191
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 2: From a marketing standpoint.

1192
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 16: Yes, yes, that's more of more or less where I'm

1193
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 16: getting at. And from a marketing standpoint, I don't think

1194
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 16: they they got it right. But you know, from from

1195
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 16: more of a from more of a you know, a

1196
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 16: success standpoint of like, you know, what they think they're

1197
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 16: going to have success with in the Olympics this summer.

1198
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 16: I think they got it right, but more from a

1199
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 16: marketing standpoint and you know, getting the getting you know,

1200
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 16: fans to tune in.

1201
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,560
Speaker 12: Maybe not as much, you know, just in my opinion.

1202
01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 2: How they could put Taylor Swift on that team and

1203
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 2: give her thirty minutes if they're going to win the

1204
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 2: gold all right, real quickly and Danny Hurley Andrew make

1205
01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1206
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:53,600
Speaker 16: Yeah, absolutely so. I think Danny Hurley I was hoping,

1207
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 16: you know, he would take the Lakers job because I'm

1208
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 16: a fan of a Big East basketball team who's been

1209
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 16: parse a agenda. Yeah, you know, so jealous, you know,

1210
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:04,280
Speaker 16: personally and jealously.

1211
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 13: I was hoping he would take.

1212
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: It, but I didn't think he would.

1213
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 16: He's got a really good opportunity at Yukon to you know,

1214
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 16: make history doing three in a row. And also, you know,

1215
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 16: you don't want to deal with, you know, an agent

1216
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 16: Lebron and you know just kind of the drama that

1217
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 16: comes with La and you know, even in the future

1218
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,520

1252
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,760

1255
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 2: Art or good morning, depending on your perspective. What do

1256
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 2: you got for us tonight?

1257
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:11,520
Speaker 13: Good morning?

1258
01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Sorry?

1259
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 15: As far as the taking Clark situations offensively, she's great.

1260
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 20: But I mean.

1261
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 12: You chuck her toneovers.

1262
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 13: She's got close to fifty turnovers.

1263
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know that's the ward on Lincoln's nose.

1264
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:25,400
Speaker 21: Man.

1265
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 2: They're blitzing on every place. So the bottom line is

1266
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 2: I enjoy your calls are yes or no? Did they

1267
01:03:30,040 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 2: make the right decision? I'm cool with the decision. What

1268
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 2: are your thoughts.

1269
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 13: They make the right decision? First, Well, I mean she's

1270
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:39,959
Speaker 13: not even here for here yet and she's the face

1271
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 13: of the w n B A what if that meets

1272
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 13: to leslie to burn those people. I mean, she's got

1273
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 13: on her strips.

1274
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 2: They had their day in court.

1275
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 11: In a different error.

1276
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 2: We're in a different aera right now. The market's always

1277
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:54,479
Speaker 2: going to decide the market.

1278
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 13: I mean, she's got to pull a couple a little bit.

1279
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 12: I mean she's too there she does.

1280
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Okay, you bring up some good points. That's the road

1281
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 2: I can't go down tonight. But okay, I respect your

1282
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 2: opinion that think of committee made the right decision. I'm

1283
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 2: okay with that. Danny Hurley Art, what were your thinking?

1284
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,600
Speaker 13: Well, when he caught the lakes, you have to touch

1285
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 13: him with Lebron James.

1286
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're lucky with that. You're one million percent correct. Yeah.

1287
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 13: I mean, first of all, any coach in college. Why

1288
01:04:30,480 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 13: would you want to go into the Pros on a

1289
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 13: different subject? Nick Saban, try that in the post. How

1290
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 13: did that work?

1291
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:37,520
Speaker 14: Hasn't worked too well?

1292
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: Well, yes and no he didn't get his quarterback. But

1293
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 2: your points duly noted. See Art. That's the key thing here.

1294
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,040
Speaker 2: The pros have bought players colleges about coaches real quickly, Art,

1295
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,000
Speaker 2: I want to get to the other callers.

1296
01:04:50,040 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 22: Anything else, I'm fine.

1297
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,800
Speaker 2: So you have great callege, always aret, always measured, always intelligent,

1298
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 2: Craig and Tennessee, you're up next to my friend. What

1299
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 2: do you got for us tonight?

1300
01:05:00,560 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 22: Well, Bernie, I want to remind you that the general

1301
01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 22: cut John Stockton.

1302
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 2: Also, I should have mentioned that. I should have mentioned

1303
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 2: that Bobby Night kept.

1304
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 22: Yeah, they kept Jeff Turner, who you know was a

1305
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 22: decent player, but you know they played for the Nets.

1306
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 13: But I'm with you, I don't think.

1307
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 22: It matters greatly because she's going to be the star

1308
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 22: of the twenty twenty eight Olympics in La Okay, Caitlin Clark.

1309
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 22: Maybe Angel will be on there too, and some of

1310
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 22: the old ladies will be gone. As far as for Hurley,

1311
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 22: one of your other callers, that he's going to coach

1312
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 22: somewhere between Philly and Boston.

1313
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 2: Great, excellent, excellent call. Craig, all right, spot on it.

1314
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 23: I like it.

1315
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:42,440
Speaker 22: You're a great handicapper.

1316
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 2: I love you man. Well, thanks, appreciate that, Craig. Don't

1317
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: be a stranger. We do this every Friday night and

1318
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 2: at midnight. Specific The reason I complimented Craig is because

1319
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 2: he cut through the crap. Okay, Bobby Harley likes living

1320
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 2: in the East, so when he does take it in

1321
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 2: be a job someday, that's where it's going to be.

1322
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 2: And as far as Caitlin Clark, I think he touched

1323
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 2: on the pragmatism of the decision. So you know that

1324
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 2: he's not up in his feels on this. He's just

1325
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,919
Speaker 2: kind of telling it like it is. Stephen in Kansas City,

1326
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 2: welcome back in How are you.

1327
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 14: Hey, Bernie enjoying the show. I think it's very important

1328
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 14: to make the to give the environment that Caitlin Clark

1329
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 14: is playing in. Okay, she is underpaid really two million

1330
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 14: dollar gate per per game, and Nike is really underpaying

1331
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:39,000
Speaker 14: her at this point with the three years or four years.

1332
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: I don't disagree with that. Hold that thought, hold that

1333
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 2: thought I said the same thing when Tiger Witz got

1334
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 2: sixty million in nineteen ninety seven. I said he's going

1335
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 2: to make them billions and they tore up that contract.

1336
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 2: What I really want to focus on, because we'll get

1337
01:06:51,120 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 2: to some of these subjects throughout the summer. Did the

1338
01:06:53,280 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 2: committee make the right decision? That's what I really want

1339
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 2: to focus on, Stephen.

1340
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 14: That's what That's what I'm trying to get at the

1341
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 14: committee is it's a part of this environment that is

1342
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 14: subsidized by the NDA. They like the way things are

1343
01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 14: without Caitlin Clark. They they are they are losing money

1344
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 14: and they're fine with that because they have a guarantee.

1345
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 14: They're not convinced that this is going to be a

1346
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:20,479
Speaker 14: rising tide that that lifts all boats. They promoted women

1347
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 14: that are injured and can't even play over Kayln Caylen

1348
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 14: still make playing the Olympics.

1349
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:27,920
Speaker 11: She's not she's not excluded.

1350
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to do that. I think

1351
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 2: there'd be so much blowback, which is what they're worried about,

1352
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 2: because I'm being told now that the players on their

1353
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 2: roster don't want her. H But listen, you bring up

1354
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 2: you bring up some intelligent points because I want to

1355
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 2: get to all the callers tonight. Stephen, your thoughts on

1356
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 2: Danny Hurley, Well, I I don't.

1357
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:49,880
Speaker 14: Like Yukon, so I hope I would hope to take

1358
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 14: the light justice.

1359
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:53,000
Speaker 2: But when no.

1360
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,640
Speaker 14: With with with with Caitlin, is that an elder like

1361
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 14: Diana Tazi or somebody who has her career is over

1362
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 14: needs to stand up and say that this economic model

1363
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:10,520
Speaker 14: has got to be changed. This is a poisonous environment

1364
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 14: we're in right now with this w NBA where they're

1365
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 14: subsidized by the NBA. You cannot progrants with this. You're

1366
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 14: be losing money.

1367
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:19,240
Speaker 17: All your life.

1368
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 13: That's that's my opinion.

1369
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,720

Speaker 17: But you always do that taco bug story.

1381
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,040
Speaker 2: Well, people have asked me to repeat stories. I've actually

1382
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,599
Speaker 2: done that two or three times over seven months period

1383
01:08:57,640 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 2: because people have asked for it. People have asked for it.

1384
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 2: All right, listen, let's get back on point. I got

1385
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 2: other calls here, my man. What do you got for

1386
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark?

1387
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:05,639
Speaker 13: You don't want negative?

1388
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 11: Yes?

1389
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 17: Thank you.

1390
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell that was all about?

1391
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Peter and our neighbor to the north,

1392
01:09:14,360 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 2: waits online to say he loves my brand new fuel,

1393
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 2: which is called brand new fool. You'll hear it on

1394
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 2: Saturday night. I don't like negative. What if I've said

1395
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 2: it once, I've said it a thousand times. The most

1396
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 2: boring conversations are when people disagree. He asked me why

1397
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,759
Speaker 2: I repeat the Taco bell story, which I plead guilty

1398
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 2: to because people have asked for it, That's why. And

1399
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 2: if they ask for it again in three months, I

1400
01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 2: gave it to him again. Of three months, I think.

1401
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,400
Speaker 2: Michael Maletta, one of our listeners, says, man, I love

1402
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 2: that story. So there you have it. Maybe you can

1403
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:49,439
Speaker 2: try it next time. Peter Connie in South Dakota, thanks

1404
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 2: to your patients hanging on tonight.

1405
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 23: Hi there, Hello, I agree with you, Caitlan should have

1406
01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 23: been on the.

1407
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 15: They grew jump.

1408
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 2: Well, just to set the record straight, Connie, I'm okay

1409
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 2: with the decision either way. But I did give a

1410
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 2: lot of very pertinent, specific statistics that are objective truths

1411
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 2: that could have certainly made the case for her to

1412
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 2: be on the team. But continue on. So you don't

1413
01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 2: think the committee made the right decision. They screwed up, correct, Connie,

1414
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 2: they screwed up. What do you feel? Go ahead, Connie,

1415
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1416
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 23: Not only that, but has anybody checked into the the

1417
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:34,599
Speaker 23: records on these people on the let me roster when

1418
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 23: they were back when they were twenty two years old?

1419
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if I understand your question the question, Connie,

1420
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: any thoughts on Danny Hurley?

1421
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 23: Yeah, he did the right thing.

1422
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,880
Speaker 2: He did the right thing. But how did you feel

1423
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 2: when you heard it? You said, okay, this is the

1424
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 2: right thing or what was your need? Your reaction if

1425
01:10:56,640 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 2: you had one?

1426
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,160
Speaker 15: I said, oh good, all right, Well, Connie.

1427
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 2: I appreciate you checking in tonight from the great state

1428
01:11:03,200 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: of South Dakota. And don't be a stranger. Ben in Australia.

1429
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 2: I love it what we get calls as far away

1430
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 2: as Australia, which we've had before. What part of Australia

1431
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 2: are you in today, Ben.

1432
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 20: Hey, you get from Melbourne.

1433
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,640
Speaker 2: Melbourne, very nice, good to hear from you. So what

1434
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 2: have you got for us on these on these subjects.

1435
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 20: With Kaitlin Cross, she's not the best person to the tame.

1436
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 20: It's a meritocracy. Yeah, it's just better paper for it

1437
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 20: than why why hand it? Why just hand someone because

1438
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 20: they were names?

1439
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I respect that. I respect that, and and I

1440
01:11:41,760 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 2: made a case that it's not just a name. She's

1441
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 2: got better statistics people are given her credit for. But

1442
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 2: I think your point has merit. It's perceived as someone

1443
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 2: who's brand new to the league, you know, wet behind

1444
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 2: the ears, and there are other players maybe ahead of

1445
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 2: her that should be there. So uh, very.

1446
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 20: Twenty two, he's going to have it. He's got another

1447
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:05,640
Speaker 20: four years to build up a resume and actually go

1448
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 20: compete for the spot in four years time.

1449
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: Okay, again, very measured response. I'm done with it. Do

1450
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 2: you have any thoughts on Danny Hurley not taking the

1451
01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 2: Lakers job?

1452
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 11: Man, I don't think.

1453
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 20: Lebron wants to be coached, and that's what Lebron, that's

1454
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 20: pretty that's his way. So who wants to go into

1455
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 20: a role where you look at the recent history of

1456
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 20: the Lakers is a coach killer.

1457
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:35,240
Speaker 12: So well, I go there.

1458
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 20: When you've got a good thing going at Yukon, you've

1459
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 20: got quite two national titles, build and list their way.

1460
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 20: That the way that all is now. He can raise money,

1461
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 20: he can pay plays, AND's been said before on Fox.

1462
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 20: He can sit there and leverage that off and say

1463
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 20: I gave up coaching the Lakers to come here to

1464
01:12:56,439 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 20: coach you as a recruiting tool. It's going to well

1465
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 20: for him.

1466
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,879
Speaker 2: Ben, I enjoyed that. Don't be a stranger.

1467
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:05,240
Speaker 11: We do this.

1468
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 2: What time is it in Australia. I'm here on a Saturday,

1469
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:14,760
Speaker 2: five pm on a Saturday night. All right, nicely done, Ben,

01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:50,120
Speaker 2: as we wrap up the midnight hour, Caitlin Clark, did

1482
01:13:50,160 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 2: the committee make the right decision? And Danny Hurley, what

1483
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 2: were your thoughts when you found out he declined the Lakers?

1484
01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 2: David Phoenix, all right, Dave, Dave? Do we have Dave

1485
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:08,439
Speaker 2: in Phoenix? Do we have David Phoenix? Ian? Do we

1486
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 2: have David Phoenix? Okay? I think, uh, maybe not. Let's

1487
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 2: go to Grant in Seattle. Do we have Grant in

1488
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,360
Speaker 2: Seattle with us? Yes?

1489
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:22,600
Speaker 13: How you guys doing all right?

1490
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 2: Grant? Thanks for jumping in to night. What do you

1491
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 2: got for us?

1492
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:25,760
Speaker 23: Uh?

1493
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 21: Yeah?

1494
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 18: So with the Kais and Clark thing, I equated to

1495
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 18: you know, obviously Christis Ladner with the Dream Team, Like sure,

1496
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 18: he's a twelveth man on the bench, and you put

1497
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 18: King Clark as a twelfth person on the bench. I

1498
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 18: mean he'll we yell and to get her in the

1499
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 18: game over, you know, Larry Bird or Magic Johnson just

1500
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 18: like it's not the case, like she's not as good

1501
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 18: a player as you know, the people in front of her,

1502
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 18: So it's more.

1503
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 13: Of a distraction than an attraction.

1504
01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 2: Okay, I think that's fair. I accept that. I accept that.

1505
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on Danny Hurley?

1506
01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 8: Uh?

1507
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 18: Yeah, I assumed you just you know, you liked the

1508
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 18: idea of going to la and you know, the bigger But.

1509
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,560
Speaker 11: I don't think he was really.

1510
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:21,840
Speaker 13: Into it.

1511
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:23,560
Speaker 18: It's more of it like, Hey, if you have a

1512
01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 18: good thing and you're you know, you're happy and you're doing.

1513
01:15:27,360 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 11: Good stuff, like just stick.

1514
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 18: With that and like just keep it there and like,

1515
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 18: you know, don't move everywhere else.

1516
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 2: All right, fair enough, thanks for checking in the night, Grant. Uh, Dave,

1517
01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:42,880
Speaker 2: you're up next? How are you, Dave?

1518
01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:44,320
Speaker 11: Hi?

01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: Bernie, what's up? Man?

1520
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 13: All right?

1521
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 24: So in Caitlin Park, there are many things that can

1522
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,479
Speaker 24: be true, even if they contradict each other somewhat. My

1523
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 24: point is that she probably should not be in the

1524
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 24: Olympics because we're shooting for percentage has been quite low,

1525
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 24: the turnovers have been quite high. The thirty point game

1526
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 24: was against the winless Washington Mystics.

1527
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 2: Okay, you're basically it on statistics, she should be there.

1528
01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 2: I respect the fact that you're basically seeing they made

1529
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 2: the right decision. Did you hear my opening monologue by

1530
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:17,880
Speaker 2: any chance and the three rookie records?

1531
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:18,280
Speaker 12: I did?

1532
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:21,879
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay, so go ahead continue on, David.

1533
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 11: All right.

1534
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 24: I also think two points, which again contradict each other.

1535
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:26,680
Speaker 11: One.

1536
01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 24: Mike Freeman had a great column in USA Today the

1537
01:16:29,880 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 24: other day pointing out that a lot of people who

1538
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 24: pretend to be big fans of Caitlin Clark really don't

1539
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 24: care about her, but they are using her to further

1540
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 24: their political agenda, which unfortunately has some racism to it.

1541
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:45,960
Speaker 24: We're going to be honest. But on the other hand,

1542
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 24: there are a lot of people on the other side

1543
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:51,160
Speaker 24: who have demigrated her every step of the way. They

1544
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 24: denigrated her scoring record, taking an under talented Iowa team

1545
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 24: to two consecutive title games. Everything she does, they're negative

1546
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 24: about it. So basically what we have, unfortunately is bigotry

1547
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:05,280
Speaker 24: from both sides.

1548
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 10: It's not good.

1549
01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 2: All right. On the Danny Hurley situation, what were your

1550
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 2: thoughts when he turned the job.

1551
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 24: Down, Well, you got to go for a three pay

1552
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 24: that people have pointed out only he Sayla and the

1553
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:20,559
Speaker 24: entire history I believe of the NCAA tournament, which started

1554
01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 24: in nineteen thirty nine, only UCLA has done a three

1555
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 24: paint and they're one tournament away. So you gotta stay

1556
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 24: and go for it and go to the NBA later.

1557
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 2: Maybe all right, sounds good, Dave, we'll check it in

1558
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 2: next week.

1559
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 11: Man.

1560
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 2: Dave's a former Michigan guy, and we've crossed past I

1561
01:17:35,400 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 2: think in Michigan when I was on radio there. Let's

1562
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 2: get the crew in ever so quickly, Bri. Let's start

1563
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,479
Speaker 2: with you, did Caitlin Clark? Did they make the right

1564
01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 2: decision in the Olympic team?

1565
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1566
01:17:46,560 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 25: I mean I think you know, I see both sides too.

1567
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 25: I mean you could see it from like ratings and

1568
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:55,639
Speaker 25: like Jersey sales and and you know, just the whole

1569
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 25: media side. But I can see the veterans being like, yeah,

1570
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 25: we don't want to include her. She she hasn't really

1571
01:18:01,680 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 25: earned her stripes yet.

1572
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 2: And you and you live in Los Angeles, Brie, And

1573
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:10,280
Speaker 2: so what were your thoughts when you heard that Danny

1574
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 2: Hurley was turning down the job.

1575
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 25: I think, like he's a big fish in a big pond.

1576
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:16,720
Speaker 25: I don't think he needs to go to like a

1577
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 25: fish tank, Like he doesn't need to be he doesn't

1578
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,920
Speaker 25: need to lower his standards and uh, you know, kind

1579
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:24,719
Speaker 25: of like ruin his coaching legacy.

1580
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 26: Just in general, I think he's good where he's at.

1581
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 2: He's definitely good where he's at. It's a family deal.

1582
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:32,400
Speaker 2: Real quickly, I wish we had more time in let's

1583
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 2: get you involved in this.

1584
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 21: Uh yeah, I guess we can quickly start with Caitlin Clark.

1585
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 21: I don't have much of an issue with it. She's

1586
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 21: she's a rookie and at the end of the day,

1587
01:18:44,040 --> 01:18:47,799
Speaker 21: like you know, even if she is, you know, somewhat

1588
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:50,160
Speaker 21: deserving of being on the team and being on you know,

1589
01:18:50,240 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 21: the lower end of it. It's like every single practice,

1590
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,559
Speaker 21: the coach, the other players, they're gonna have to answer

1591
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 21: questions of like, oh, how much playing time is Kaitlin Clark?

1592
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 26: And again, is she going to see the fear?

1593
01:18:59,320 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 2: You know, I know they make it up as iggle along.

1594
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:05,800
Speaker 2: That's stupid. How about the Danny Hurley situation. You're there

1595
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 2: in LA and.

1596
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 21: Yeah, Danny Hurley, I mean I've had a change of

1597
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 21: heart since last week. Last week I really did think

1598
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 21: that he should take it but in the time since

1599
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 21: and since he's actually turned it down, I really do

1600
01:19:16,160 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 21: think it was probably the better move for him. His

1601
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:20,519
Speaker 21: family was happy there, he's you know, the Lakers are

1602
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 21: kind of a mess right now, and he's he's literally

1603
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 21: going for a three peat, which is historic.

1604
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 26: So I think he has ever reason to stick around

1605
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 26: where he's at.

1606
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 2: So I think that obviously his wife and his father

1607
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 2: had immense input here.

1608
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 26: Said that, right. Huh, your moles were telling you that

1609
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 26: right a.

1610
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 2: Million percent, that once he got home, his dad was

1611
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 2: going to sit him down. And then I appreciate you

1612
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 2: grabbing that sound so good, good, good stuff by all

1613
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 2: the callers tonight. Appreciate it. And maybe I'll even tell

1614
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 2: that tackle Bell story three more times just for posterity. Yeah,

1615
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:54,679

1629
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four Nathan's Hot Dog Eating contest. Come on, man,

1630
01:20:46,760 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 2: you can't tell me they don't relish the attention. I'm

1631
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 2: just trying to catch up on all the facts here

1632
01:20:56,560 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 2: plant dogs? Can they cut the mustard? Yeah? That's just

1633
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 2: too bad because Joey Chestnut was really on a roll.

1634
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,040
Speaker 2: See what I did there? Now the contest looks like

1635
01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:12,599
Speaker 2: it's in a pickle. Somebody is gonna be in hot

1636
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 2: water over this, I'll tell you right now. But can

1637
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 2: I be Frank who writes his stuff? All right, I'm

1638
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,360
Speaker 2: oping enough for Schecky Green and the catskills next Tuesday.

1639
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 2: Don't forget to tip your waiters and waitresses and try

1640
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:31,200
Speaker 2: to semi boldness spaghetti. A source says Chestnut was paid

1641
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 2: two hundred grand do appear in this contest every year

1642
01:21:34,240 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 2: and was offered a one point two million, four year

1643
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 2: contract going forward. But it's all ky bosh right now

1644
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 2: because he's accepted a sponsorship deal with plant based hot dogs,

1645
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:47,439
Speaker 2: whatever the heck they're called. Okay, there is America right

1646
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:53,479
Speaker 2: So now major League meeting, which sanctions sanctions Nathan's to

1647
01:21:53,800 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 2: participate in his contest. His issue a statement quote, We're

1648
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,759
Speaker 2: devastated to learn that Joey Chestnut his chosen to represent

1649
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:03,639
Speaker 2: a rival brand that sales plant based hotdogs. Blah blah

1650
01:22:03,640 --> 01:22:06,479
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. They went on to great links to

1651
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 2: say they've been trying to accommodate Joy and all his demands,

1652
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 2: but they can on this one. They likened it to

1653
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan going to Nike back in the day's stay.

1654
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 2: I really like you, Nike, but I like to rep

1655
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,759
Speaker 2: Adidas as well. Hold that thought, because this is actually

1656
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 2: a developing story. First of all, I absolutely think and

1657
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 2: the numbers prove it, that the hot dog eating Contest

1658
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 2: has become one of the great Americana spectacles of all time.

1659
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 2: July fourth, you can look forward to it every year.

1660
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 2: Look at these knuckleheads. Okay, So first of all, I

1661
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 2: want to start with the crew. Let's let's bring them

1662
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 2: in here, Kevin figures. Do you even watch the hot

1663
01:22:41,520 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 2: dog any contest? What's your deal?

1664
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 6: No, to be honest with you, I think it's a

1665
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:45,799
Speaker 6: little disgusting.

1666
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 7: So yeah, that's fair tough for me to stomach, to

1667
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 7: be honest, and there was no pun and send it

1668
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,600
Speaker 7: there at I don't need the rimshot, Mark, But is

1669
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,360
Speaker 7: this not my cup of tea? I understand that there's

1670
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 7: a giant following behind it and the competitive eating in general,

1671
01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 7: but it's never been my thing to follow closely, to

1672
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 7: be honest.

1673
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's it's really truly become a thing, and

1674
01:23:04,439 --> 01:23:06,600
Speaker 2: it is disgusting to watch. I'll grant you that. And

1675
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 2: I watch it anyway because I find angles to talk

1676
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 2: about it. But all right, fair enough? Uh, Mark Ramsey?

1677
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:15,839
Speaker 2: Do you watch the hot dog eaty contest?

1678
01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 6: Not on purpose?

1679
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:17,320
Speaker 2: No?

1680
01:23:17,439 --> 01:23:20,719
Speaker 6: I don't thank you for laughing. Thank you for laughing.

1681
01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,920
Speaker 27: I think it's an abuse of hot dogs. It should

1682
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 27: be banned all the time. Why mess up a good

1683
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 27: hot dog like that? Why does jam it down your throat?

1684
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 27: There's no point to just jamming a hot dog down

1685
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 27: your throat. You should eat it very carefully with a

1686
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 27: nice drink. It just take your time, watch a baseball game.

1687
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 27: Just take it easy, does don't jam it down your face.

1688
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:43,600
Speaker 2: And please tell me you don't put ketchup on your

1689
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 2: hot dog?

1690
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 6: Yes, I do.

1691
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 2: You know you're from Chicago.

1692
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: I do what I do.

1693
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:49,639
Speaker 6: What I want is my hot dog.

1694
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 2: All fairness, thank you, thank you much for another day.

1695
01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 2: I went off on this on the Mallor Show one night.

1696
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 2: It raised a hell of a fure. I think you

1697
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 2: put ketchup on a hot dog, You're killing it. Your

1698
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 2: your mask, your mask, the flavor. It's all right, let's

1699
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 2: not go down the road, bree. Do you watch the

1700
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:05,839
Speaker 2: hot dog eating contest?

1701
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 11: I do not.

1702
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 25: I feel the same way as Kevin. I think it's

1703
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 25: just a little nauseating to me. And I suffer from

1704
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:17,640
Speaker 25: heartburn too, and so I'm just thinking of just the

1705
01:24:17,800 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 25: worst possible things. I'm thinking of acid reflex. I'm like,

1706
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 25: that's a sophagitis going down in like, you know, four

1707
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 25: hours from now. So it's just I can't.

1708
01:24:28,040 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 2: I can't.

1709
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 25: I'm drinking ginger ell while I'm watching it. I'm like, oh,

1710
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:33,519
Speaker 25: I if I watch like thirty seconds of it, I

1711
01:24:33,640 --> 01:24:34,599
Speaker 25: turn it real quick.

1712
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:40,120
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to hook you up with some probios. Yes, yeah, listen,

1713
01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 2: dipping the bun and water and all that is not

1714
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:44,559
Speaker 2: my favorite thing.

1715
01:24:44,680 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 25: But disrespect to the carbs of the hot dog bun,

1716
01:24:47,800 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 25: for sure.

1717
01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 26: Disrespect.

1718
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 2: I covered a lot of good ground. There covered a

1719
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:56,160
Speaker 2: lot of good ground. Ian, my man, do you watch

1720
01:24:56,240 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 2: the hot dog eating contest?

1721
01:24:58,240 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 6: Not really?

1722
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 21: I mean I'll have it on in the background. But guys,

1723
01:25:01,920 --> 01:25:05,320
Speaker 21: I can at least appreciate the sport. I'm not gonna

1724
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 21: sit here and you know, dump all over the sport

1725
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 21: and call it disgusting. I mean, you know it is

1726
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 21: to an extent, but but uh, you know, there's we

1727
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,360
Speaker 21: have to be able to appreciate this like it's it's

1728
01:25:17,439 --> 01:25:18,960
Speaker 21: mega popular for a reason.

1729
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 7: I think it's disrespectful to athletes to call this a sport. Yeah,

1730
01:25:24,040 --> 01:25:24,800
Speaker 7: of a competition.

1731
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:29,360
Speaker 2: Joe. Back in two thousand and four, while I was

1732
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:31,640
Speaker 2: doing radio in Detroit, I said, let's define what a

1733
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:35,680
Speaker 2: sport is. I said three things. It's a sport if

1734
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 2: you can bet on it. That's one. Well, you can

1735
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 2: bet on it, yes, but here comes a big butt peewee.

1736
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 2: Can you pull a hamstring?

1737
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:45,600
Speaker 13: No?

1738
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:50,320
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Well, talk you got two of

1739
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:51,840
Speaker 2: the three you gotta be able to pull a HAMI

1740
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 2: trash talk and bet on it. See it's only two

1741
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 2: of the three, but go ahead, you got the last word.

1742
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 21: Well, Bernie, you'd be surprised what I would manage to

1743
01:25:58,280 --> 01:25:59,400
Speaker 21: pull my hamstring doing.

1744
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 26: Okay, I think I could.

1745
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:04,679
Speaker 2: Man This guy's actually training. You should see their training.

1746
01:26:05,120 --> 01:26:08,800
Speaker 2: I am not joking that Kobayashi thirty for thirty about

1747
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 2: five years ago. Dial it up, man, So okay, I'm

1748
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,320
Speaker 2: the only freak here that I watch it. Okay, it's

1749
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,920
Speaker 2: July fourth, it's a Thursday. This year. My last yearry

1750
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 2: Arnie and I did a show on July third. We

1751
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 2: handicapped the whole thing, and people bet it. Let's go

1752
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 2: back around the room because here's one of the angles here.

1753
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 2: All right, we all eat hot dogs. Come on, man,

1754
01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 2: if you don't need a hot dog, then you know

1755
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 2: your first aligne for a front of lobotomy. Now. I

1756
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:38,839
Speaker 2: love personally the old beef hot dogs that eat at Costco.

1757
01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 2: Those things are tremendous free plug for Costco. Maybe you

1758
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:46,280
Speaker 2: should sponsor our show. I don't know if I'm eating

1759
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 2: plant hot dogs anytime soon. I did try one a

1760
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 2: few years ago. It wasn't horrible, but I ate my

1761
01:26:52,439 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 2: first choice. So here's the thing. Some of you eat

1762
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 2: hot dogs, Kevin, do you eat plant hot dogs?

1763
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,720
Speaker 7: I've never tried a plant based hot dogs, but I've

1764
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 7: tried plant based burgers and they are pretty good, so

1765
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 7: I would like them every now and then, so sure

1766
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 7: i'd try one.

1767
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 2: Absolutely well, fair enough, Mark Ramsey, you're from Chicago. Would

1768
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:17,519
Speaker 2: you eat a plant based hot dog? Yeah? I love it.

1769
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,920
Speaker 2: Allow myself to introduce myself. All right, we're not a chance.

1770
01:27:21,120 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 2: We're clearing that one, Bree, would you eat a plant

1771
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:25,639
Speaker 2: based hot dog?

1772
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 25: I would eat one, but I have never had it yet. No,

1773
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 25: I haven't had one yet, but I would. I was like, Kevin,

1774
01:27:33,600 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 25: I have plant based burgers and things like that, but

1775
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 25: not a hot dog.

1776
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:40,160
Speaker 2: I wonder if I wonder if they ever made burger

1777
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:43,000
Speaker 2: based plants. That would be something I don't. I did

1778
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 2: try one, Okay, I gotta be fair. I did try

1779
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 2: one once, but I didn't like having on a bun.

1780
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:49,639
Speaker 2: I put it in some beans, you know, hot dogs

1781
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 2: and beans, and you know, it was so hot you

1782
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 2: kind of sort of kind of couldn't tell the difference.

1783
01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,120
Speaker 2: Then about it. Three days later, I had a regular

1784
01:27:58,160 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 2: hot DOGG said, oh, yeah, you can, but they're not listen.

1785
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:03,040
Speaker 2: I'm not here to disparage him. I'm gonna make an

1786
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: overarching point here in just a second in wo Okay,

1787
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 2: everybody's open minded to have eaten a plant based hot dog,

1788
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 2: but I think I'm the only one who's eaten one

1789
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,520
Speaker 2: before in plant based hot doges.

1790
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 21: Or no, no, I'm sorry to keep it boring, but

1791
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 21: I also have never had a plant based hot dog.

1792
01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 2: I'm keeping it boring. So here's the deal. These two

1793
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 2: things are not related. Could they have not had a

1794
01:28:27,760 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 2: meeting in the minds? So what if you want? All

1795
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 2: that's going to do is bring more attention to the

1796
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 2: hot dog eating contest? So what if he wants to

1797
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:38,280
Speaker 2: have plant based they're paying to do to. You know,

1798
01:28:38,360 --> 01:28:40,759
Speaker 2: he makes over half a million yere Joey Chestnut building

1799
01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 2: this brand, and he works his butt off, by the way.

1800
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 2: I know that may sound contratruitive, but he really does.

1801
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,719
Speaker 2: So let's go back around the room. Is it fair

1802
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 2: that Joey Chestnut has been omitted from this year's contest?

1803
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 2: Start with you, Kevin figures fair?

1804
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 8: Uh, I don't know.

1805
01:28:57,120 --> 01:28:59,240
Speaker 7: I mean, look, I certainly understand Nathan's if you believe

1806
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:00,680
Speaker 7: this is a competitor and he's going to be out

1807
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 7: there wearing, you know, a jersey or a shirt and

1808
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,560
Speaker 7: talking about him. I understand the competition there, but I

1809
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 7: also think Nathan's is losing out if they say we

1810
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 7: don't want you to be there, because a lot of

1811
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 7: people tune in just to see him. I think they're

1812
01:29:12,479 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 7: cutting off their notes despite their face by doing this.

1813
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:16,680
Speaker 7: It's the ego play for them. So, oh, you want

1814
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 7: to represent somebody else, you're not going to be here,

1815
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,160
Speaker 7: all right, Fine, well I'll do my own one off

1816
01:29:21,200 --> 01:29:21,759
Speaker 7: on Netflix.

1817
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:22,920
Speaker 6: They have better ratings than you.

1818
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 2: That's when we talk about that later. That's coming up

1819
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:28,320
Speaker 2: September second. I'll talk about that at the end of

1820
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:31,120
Speaker 2: the show. Yeah. I think he had a good point there, Kevin.

1821
01:29:31,120 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 2: They got a little butt hurt. But they compared it

1822
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 2: to Jordan telling Nike is it okay for a Repididas too? See.

1823
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's a fair analogy, because Adenis

1824
01:29:42,439 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 2: was already a very established shoe brand, And I mean,

1825
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 2: a plant hot dog is not a regular hot dog.

1826
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,439
Speaker 2: And I'm not again, I didn't case bad. I'm just

1827
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,800
Speaker 2: saying it's not my first choice. But I'm I'm not.

1828
01:29:56,080 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm a red blood in America and I

1829
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,599
Speaker 2: just can't do the vegan Franks. There's nothing wrong with them.

1830
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 13: You know.

1831
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 2: I don't need olives either, and I'm Italian. Figure that

1832
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,759
Speaker 2: one out. People need olives because go to the grocery

1833
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:10,960
Speaker 2: store there's rose and rose of olives, right, So I

1834
01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,120
Speaker 2: hope I didn't have to hand in my Italian card

1835
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 2: there calibras all right, Mark Ramsey, Are they being fair

1836
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 2: to Joey Chestnut?

1837
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 27: I would say, I guess they're being fair because they

1838
01:30:25,360 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 27: don't want plant Base to cut into the other hot

1839
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 27: dog business. So they're trying to draw a line between

1840
01:30:32,840 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 27: are you a hot dog person or are you this

1841
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:39,519
Speaker 27: manufactured out of a out of a test tube, out

1842
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 27: of a scientific experiment. We're trying to just set the tone.

1843
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 27: Are you with us or you against us? We're not

1844
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:47,040
Speaker 27: gonna play both sides.

1845
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 2: Okay, it's pretty any point there, pretty any point impossible.

1846
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,920
Speaker 2: Foods is like, wait, we stepped up, we paid your money,

1847
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 2: and they do have good products. I've had their sausage.

1848
01:30:57,320 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 2: It's okay, it's good. It actually tastes good. I've tried

1849
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 2: their hamburgers. It tastes good. I'm just saying, Okay, I'm

1850
01:31:03,800 --> 01:31:07,719
Speaker 2: just saying I'll have an umbrella drink with No. Actually

1851
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm a Crown Row guy. Okay, Bree, perfect

1852
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:14,759
Speaker 2: segue to you. Are they being fair to Joy Chestnut?

1853
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:17,960
Speaker 25: I mean I think they're they're being fair to their

1854
01:31:18,080 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 25: brand and kind of their whole like marketing idea and

1855
01:31:21,160 --> 01:31:23,519
Speaker 25: what you know they believe in. But I mean, he's

1856
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 25: a competitive eater. He can go and eat pizza, he

1857
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 25: can go and stuff seventeen slices down his throat for dominoes.

1858
01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:34,120
Speaker 25: So I mean they're lucky that he has been the

1859
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:36,640
Speaker 25: face for them and has done all these things for them.

1860
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 25: But you know, if they if they're confident in their

1861
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:42,000
Speaker 25: brand and we're going to sell X amount of dollars

1862
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:44,200
Speaker 25: and they're going to do that, that contest. And if

1863
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:46,920
Speaker 25: they're okay with the decrease in ratings and they want

1864
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 25: to stick to that, that's fine.

1865
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,600
Speaker 2: But he's going to be a gentle interesting See if

1866
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 2: there is a decrease in ratings, there will be let's watch,

1867
01:31:53,360 --> 01:31:56,320
Speaker 2: let's let's keep an eye on that. Yeah, excellent, I'd

1868
01:31:56,360 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 2: cuts you off breeding anything else? Were good?

1869
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 26: All good, all good?

1870
01:32:01,720 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 2: Okay, uh Ian, you got the last word on this

1871
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,679
Speaker 2: as far as the whether or not this is fair

1872
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 2: and brought up a good points about possible ratings issues,

1873
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:13,599
Speaker 2: et cetera. Your thoughts on that whole deal.

1874
01:32:13,760 --> 01:32:16,400
Speaker 21: I mean, I'd definitely like to see I mean this

1875
01:32:16,520 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 21: is coming after me saying I don't really watch it,

1876
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 21: like I have it on in the background. I'll see

1877
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 21: the clips on Twitter. So I do still want to

1878
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:25,520
Speaker 21: see Joey Chestnutt in the Nathan's Eating competition.

1879
01:32:25,800 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 26: Obviously it sucks that he's not going to be in it.

1880
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 26: But is it fair?

1881
01:32:29,040 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 21: I honestly, I think it is just because it was

1882
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 21: in his contract. No, so if he then decided to

1883
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:40,240
Speaker 21: go and sign with, you know, some impossible meats company

1884
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:43,599
Speaker 21: that specifically said he couldn't do that in his contract,

1885
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 21: he knew what he was doing. And even if it,

1886
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 21: you know, is somebody that maybe shouldn't have been in

1887
01:32:48,160 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 21: the contract in the first place, he signed it.

1888
01:32:49,920 --> 01:32:51,800
Speaker 26: You got to know what you're signing. So I think

1889
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 26: it's fair.

1890
01:32:52,320 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 13: Yeah.

1891
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:54,040
Speaker 26: I don't think you can sit here and claim that

1892
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,920
Speaker 26: it's not fair if it was somebody that he signed Okay.

1893
01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:58,800
Speaker 2: Good, good stuff all the way around on all three

1894
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:04,840
Speaker 2: questions by the crew. Mind this event is attended by

1895
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 2: thirty thousand people, no joke. It's a spectacle of the

1896
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 2: highest order. Thirty thousand people will go, millions watch it

1897
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 2: on TV. And Brie dropped a little nugget in there

1898
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 2: about pizza. Did you know that Joey Chestnut holds world

Speaker 2: there may be still some sort of de new mall

1977
01:37:06,360 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 2: here they can come to, because we're still a couple

1978
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:11,360
Speaker 2: weeks away from July fourth. But the fourth of July tradition,

1979
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 2: light no weather, the absolute spectacle of all spectacles, will

1980
01:37:15,800 --> 01:37:19,560
Speaker 2: look a little unrecognizable this year without Joey Chestnut And

1981
01:37:19,720 --> 01:37:21,600
Speaker 2: I haven't shed a tear yet, but I might on

1982
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:24,040
Speaker 2: July fourth, or not really, I won't do that, but

1983
01:37:24,640 --> 01:37:27,639
Speaker 2: still it's a topic, trust me, and the topic's only

1984
01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:30,040
Speaker 2: going to eat up as we get closer. I didn't

1985
01:37:30,040 --> 01:37:32,160
Speaker 2: give Kevin and Mark a chance to weigh in on

1986
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:34,400
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark and Danny Hurley if we're going to do

1987
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 2: that coming up, because it's important and you think this

1988
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,639
Speaker 2: topic's going away, it ain't going away. Can you imagine,

1989
01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:43,240
Speaker 2: by the way, if JJ Reddick turned him down the Lakers.

1990
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,080

Speaker 2: I'm Bernie Fraddle were a company live from the Las

Speaker 2: Vegas Fox Sports Radio Tiret dot Com studios. Don't go anywhere.

Speaker 2: You're listening to the Bernie Frawdle Show on Fox Sports Radio.

2002
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 2: All right back on the Bernie Frale Show Comedy Live

2003
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 2: Frothetire dot Com studios here in Las Vegas, Fox Sports Radio.

2004
01:38:29,920 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 2: Let's get Kevin into this discussion. Kevin, you're in LA.

2005
01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 2: I knew a thing or two about hoops. What were

2006
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:37,920
Speaker 2: your thoughts when you found out that Danny Hurley turned

2007
01:38:37,960 --> 01:38:38,400
Speaker 2: on the job.

2008
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 7: Wasn't the least bit surprised, To be honest with you,

2009
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,720
Speaker 7: I lawed the Lakers for taking the big swing at it,

2010
01:38:43,800 --> 01:38:45,560
Speaker 7: but all the stuff that you were hearing, you know,

2011
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:47,640
Speaker 7: once you heard that he put it, they put up

2012
01:38:47,640 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 7: a quote unquote compelling case, and he was flying back.

2013
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 7: He used to mull over his options. He kind of

2014
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:54,960
Speaker 7: figured that that was a nail on the coff And

2015
01:38:55,080 --> 01:38:57,240
Speaker 7: usually in situations like this, when they fly somebody out

2016
01:38:57,240 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 7: and there's a giant.

2017
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 6: Meeting, they're not gonna let you leave the room and

2018
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:01,680
Speaker 6: they're going to sign you as a new head coach

2019
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 6: if it's actually going to happen.

2020
01:39:02,880 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 7: So I was pessimistic when I saw that report from

2021
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:07,439
Speaker 7: ward from WOJ and then the next day obviously the

2022
01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:09,519
Speaker 7: news broke that he was staying. There are just too

2023
01:39:09,560 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 7: many things working against the Lakers in this situation. You

2024
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:15,679
Speaker 7: talked about him liking being on the East Coast. Obviously,

2025
01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:17,880
Speaker 7: the contract numbers didn't match up the way that they

2026
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,800
Speaker 7: wanted it to. The Laker job just isn't that great

2027
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:21,960
Speaker 7: of a job right now, And I don't know if

2028
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,559
Speaker 7: it's worth leaving Yukon right now for that particular NBA job.

2029
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,640
Speaker 7: There are other jobs that you can get, and I

2030
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:30,040
Speaker 7: think you'll still be a hot name after this next season,

2031
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,800
Speaker 7: even if you don't win a national championship. So I

2032
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 7: just don't think this was the right move at the

2033
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 7: right time for him. So I'm not the least but

2034
01:39:36,040 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 7: surprise that he decided to stay, and I would have

2035
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 7: been more surprised Bernie had he taken the job.

2036
01:39:40,040 --> 01:39:43,080
Speaker 2: To be honest, right, I'm in agreement. I was pretty

2037
01:39:43,080 --> 01:39:45,840
Speaker 2: emphatic about that. All Right. Did the Olympic Committee make

2038
01:39:45,880 --> 01:39:47,519
Speaker 2: the right decision on Kate mc clark.

2039
01:39:48,320 --> 01:39:49,720
Speaker 6: Well, I think it's sort of complicated.

2040
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:51,639
Speaker 7: I mean, look the Olympic Committee after If you want

2041
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 7: to say, what is their job and their obligation, I

2042
01:39:53,600 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 7: think it is to try to put the best what

2043
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:57,160
Speaker 7: twelve thirteen however many players it is that makes the

2044
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 7: roster onto the roster to give them a chance to

2045
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:02,200
Speaker 7: So if you want to make an argument. And I'm

2046
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 7: not gonna lie and say that I watch a lot

2047
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,640
Speaker 7: of women's basketball. I know who the top twelve to

2048
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:08,639
Speaker 7: fifteen players are. I would say it's unlikely that Kaitlyn

2049
01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:11,200
Speaker 7: Clark right now is one of the top fifteen players

2050
01:40:11,479 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 7: in women's basketball right now.

2051
01:40:13,400 --> 01:40:16,439
Speaker 6: Now along with that, are they gonna need all twelve players?

2052
01:40:16,479 --> 01:40:18,880
Speaker 7: I mean, the women's team is not national team hasn't

2053
01:40:18,880 --> 01:40:21,240
Speaker 7: lost the game since nineteen ninety two, and even then

2054
01:40:21,280 --> 01:40:23,960
Speaker 7: they've lost three. They lost twice in seventy six and

2055
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:25,720
Speaker 7: they lost once to ninety two, and they haven't lost

2056
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,439
Speaker 7: in the Olympics ever since. So the twelve person at

2057
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 7: the end of the bench really is going to make

2058
01:40:29,840 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 7: a difference one way or the other. So, from that standpoint,

2059
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 7: if you're talking about marketing dollars eyeballs, put her at

2060
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:37,600
Speaker 7: the end of the bench. You're gonna be up by

2061
01:40:37,680 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 7: fifty at the end of the first half most of

2062
01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,599
Speaker 7: the time anyway, and throw her into the game, get

2063
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 7: more sponsorships attached to it. So from a business standpoint,

2064
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:46,840
Speaker 7: I would understand why you would take her. From a

2065
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:49,280
Speaker 7: basketball standpoint, if you're a member of the committee for

2066
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,479
Speaker 7: picking the best basketball players, I would understand why you

2067
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 7: would want to leave.

2068
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:56,719
Speaker 2: Her off fair enough, and I'm okay with the decision

2069
01:40:56,880 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 2: to leave her off. And I'm a big Caitlyn Clark fan.

2070
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 2: I gave plenty receipts at the top of the show

2071
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,000
Speaker 2: that are objective truth rather than the people in their

2072
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:08,360
Speaker 2: personal It's good, good stuff, Kevin Mark Ramsey start with

2073
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:11,160
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark. Did they leave her? Leaving her off the

2074
01:41:11,200 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 2: team is at the right decision.

2075
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:17,720
Speaker 27: I think it's a good decision because her presence might

2076
01:41:17,840 --> 01:41:20,400
Speaker 27: not have made that much of a difference other than

2077
01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 27: the star power and her face. And she's on the

2078
01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 27: team since they already have a bunch of winners to

2079
01:41:27,160 --> 01:41:30,559
Speaker 27: play the game and to make sure the important part

2080
01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 27: is to win the games. She wouldn't make that much

2081
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:36,559
Speaker 27: of a difference, So it's fine to leave her off.

2082
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:38,320
Speaker 27: I mean, she can have a chance, you know, when

2083
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 27: it comes around again.

2084
01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:41,800
Speaker 2: And then, of course, what were your thoughts when you

2085
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 2: heard that. Danny Hurley said, not, no, hell none to

2086
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 2: the Lakers.

2087
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 27: I think when a person has to make a decision

2088
01:41:49,040 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 27: about something and you get a piece of paper and

2089
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:53,560
Speaker 27: draw a line down and the pros and then the

2090
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:58,120
Speaker 27: cons about what it is looking at the Lakers that

2091
01:41:58,560 --> 01:42:03,560
Speaker 27: they are, as you have said, a dumpster fire in

2092
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,719
Speaker 27: a sense, and that it would take too much trouble

2093
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:11,800
Speaker 27: to become a coach of a bunch of guys that

2094
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 27: think they don't need anyone to help them and all

2095
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:18,720
Speaker 27: that it goes into trying to get their minds of

2096
01:42:18,880 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 27: how to win again, versus being with everybody has said

2097
01:42:22,960 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 27: he's a teacher, so staying in college he can still

2098
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:29,880
Speaker 27: teach people that want to learn, versus people that who

2099
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 27: is this guy? Yeah he's good in college, but what

2100
01:42:32,360 --> 01:42:34,760
Speaker 27: has he done for me? I don't care. And then

2101
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:39,400
Speaker 27: the long run, whatever success he might have would go

2102
01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:45,320
Speaker 27: to one of his teammates versus he gets the applause

2103
01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 27: for So there's a no win situation. It would take

2104
01:42:49,200 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 27: too much trouble. There's too many hurdles to come to

2105
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,880
Speaker 27: La versus staying where he is and he could be

2106
01:42:57,000 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 27: on the verge of having another good season two be

2107
01:43:01,040 --> 01:43:02,000
Speaker 27: a three time winner.

2108
01:43:02,400 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 26: So just too much trouble to come here.

2109
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, both stories have I think pros and cons, And

2110
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:15,880
Speaker 2: we'll just see how these issues play out, because I

2111
01:43:15,920 --> 01:43:17,640
Speaker 2: don't think it's going away anytime soon. We have to

2112
01:43:17,720 --> 01:43:21,760
Speaker 2: see you know certainly the Caitlin Karth thing is going

2113
01:43:21,840 --> 01:43:24,760
Speaker 2: to last the whole season and maybe beyond. And then

2114
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:28,040
Speaker 2: of course we'll see if JJ Reddick takes a Lakers job,

2115
01:43:28,080 --> 01:43:31,400
Speaker 2: which we believe he will, but what if he doesn't.

2116
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:34,360
Speaker 2: What if he doesn't, that just perhaps signs a bigger

2117
01:43:34,360 --> 01:43:37,880
Speaker 2: spotlight on the fact that Danny Hurley said, no, we

2118
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,200
Speaker 2: covered all including soccer coming up Chris Purfet's World of Soccer,

2119
01:43:41,320 --> 01:43:43,080
Speaker 2: but first go back to our guy, Kevin figures with the.

2120
01:43:43,120 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 7: Latest All right, Bernie is there will be a Game

2121
01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:48,479
Speaker 7: five of the NBA Finals on Monday night. This after

2122
01:43:48,560 --> 01:43:51,560
Speaker 7: the Mavericks molly wapped the Celtics one twenty two to

2123
01:43:51,720 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 7: eighty four. Luka Donchig and Kyrie Irving actually struggled from

2124
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 7: beyond the arc, disc combining to go one of fourteen

2125
01:43:57,439 --> 01:44:00,600
Speaker 7: from three point range, but the MAVs held it down defensively,

2126
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:02,920
Speaker 7: holding the Celtics to just thirty six percent shooting. The

2127
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 7: out rebounded Boston fifty two to thirty one and one

2128
01:44:05,960 --> 01:44:09,040
Speaker 7: points in the paint sixty to twenty six. Celtics, still

2129
01:44:09,080 --> 01:44:11,120
Speaker 7: leading the series three games to one, they will be

2130
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 7: able to close it out yet again in Boston on

2131
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 7: Monday Nights and Golf's second round at the US Open.

2132
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:19,480
Speaker 7: Ludvig Obert has a one stroke lead over Bryson Deshambeau

2133
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 7: and Patrick Cantley, while Roy McElroy is two strokes back.

2134
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:23,559
Speaker 6: World number one.

2135
01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 7: Scottie Scheffler barely made the cut at five over, while

2136
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:29,519
Speaker 7: Tiger Woods missed the cut. And baseball Seattle has won

2137
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 7: five of their last six. They lead the AO West

2138
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 7: by six and a half games after defeating Texas three

2139
01:44:34,439 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 7: to two. The Dodgers defeated the Royals four to three

2140
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:40,200
Speaker 7: after falling behind three nothing despite committing five errors. The

2141
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,880
Speaker 7: Reds defeated at Milwaukee six to five for their ninth

2142
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 7: win in their last eleven games. Chris Sale now seven

2143
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:47,880
Speaker 7: to zero at home after the Braves beat Tampa Bay

2144
01:44:47,960 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 7: seven to three. Former Red Sock alex Erdugo with three

2145
01:44:50,520 --> 01:44:52,240
Speaker 7: hits in a home run for the Yankees as a

2146
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:55,519
Speaker 7: hammer at Boston eight to one. Back to Bernie Freddo

2147
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 7: All right.

2148
01:44:56,160 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 2: Thanks Kevin. We covered all on The Bernie Fradle Show,

2149
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 2: and as you know, each week at this time we

2150
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 2: bring you Chris Burfett's World of Soccer.

2151
01:45:06,960 --> 01:45:22,639
Speaker 3: The Greatest Goals, the thrilling finishes the international drama. Him fuck,

2152
01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:26,200
Speaker 3: it's all here in this report from the World of Soccer,

2153
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 3: finally burning.

2154
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:29,840
Speaker 28: After all these months, we finally made it to the

2155
01:45:29,920 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 28: international schedule that actually matters. We're talking about UWEIFA European

2156
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:39,640
Speaker 28: Championship twenty twenty four or EUROS and the Copa America

2157
01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,439
Speaker 28: for Konmobol and CONCA CAF here twenty twenty four. We

2158
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,080
Speaker 28: haven't had as much time off as usually four years

2159
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:49,840
Speaker 28: between these tournaments, but you know, because of COVID, a

2160
01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 28: lot of that were played in twenty twenty one, so

2161
01:45:52,600 --> 01:45:55,240
Speaker 28: teams coming back with a little less time off than

2162
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 28: we anticipate, which means we just get right straight at it.

2163
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,360
Speaker 28: Euro is beginning this weekend, has already been a game played.

2164
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:03,679
Speaker 28: We'll talk about that one in a second, and Copa

2165
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 28: here next weekend. Let's try to preview both, and we're

2166
01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:11,160
Speaker 28: gonna start with EUROS. European Championship is one of my

2167
01:46:11,439 --> 01:46:16,360
Speaker 28: favorite tournaments in the world. It is phenomenal. It is

2168
01:46:16,479 --> 01:46:18,920
Speaker 28: like the World Cup, but on a much smaller scale,

2169
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,000
Speaker 28: and already Germany is off to a flying start five

2170
01:46:22,040 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 28: to one over Scotland. The game on Friday Scotland had

2171
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:28,559
Speaker 28: some buzz coming into this contest, but man, they Letremy

2172
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:32,719
Speaker 28: Germany handle them effortlessly. Tony Kruz free to deal damage

2173
01:46:32,800 --> 01:46:35,200
Speaker 28: all day long. All you had to do was just

2174
01:46:35,320 --> 01:46:37,679
Speaker 28: leave him up there and he gets an immaculate ninety

2175
01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 28: foot cross to Florian Wurtz gets the goal started. It's

2176
01:46:41,240 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 28: the kind of teamwork which we've kind of expect to

2177
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 28: see from Germany. It'd be interesting to see how far

2178
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:47,360
Speaker 28: they can go in a tournament where they haven't had

2179
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:50,599
Speaker 28: the same kind of success as has been previous years.

2180
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 28: Now Italy are the defending champions and they come in

2181
01:46:55,200 --> 01:46:58,080
Speaker 28: licking a lot of wounds and it wasn't really even

2182
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:01,160
Speaker 28: an easy road for them to get here. A goalless

2183
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,720
Speaker 28: draw against Ukraine at the end of their qualification did

2184
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:07,560
Speaker 28: get them in, but it wasn't the proud way to

2185
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 28: go in, and they need to do some late stage

2186
01:47:10,160 --> 01:47:12,680
Speaker 28: homework in the last few matches prior to that to

2187
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:14,759
Speaker 28: get the points to get in and to be honest,

2188
01:47:15,479 --> 01:47:19,559
Speaker 28: the twenty twenty Championship for them is starting to feel

2189
01:47:19,680 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 28: more and more bittersweet, and it was made more and

2190
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:25,920
Speaker 28: more bittersweet by missing out on the twenty twenty two

2191
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 28: FIFA World Cup. It was made bittersweet by Roberto Mancini

2192
01:47:30,080 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 28: resigning a lot of the old generation simply being lost,

2193
01:47:34,880 --> 01:47:37,400
Speaker 28: and by the days as it goes by, that twenty

2194
01:47:37,479 --> 01:47:41,719
Speaker 28: twenty euro crown feels just a little heavier, a little

2195
01:47:41,880 --> 01:47:44,720
Speaker 28: worse for wear, because it just wasn't a prelude to

2196
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:50,080
Speaker 28: a good Italian club. Now, however, we've got Luciano Spiletti

2197
01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 28: and unfortunately he's dealing with the circus already. They have

2198
01:47:53,200 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 28: been spent the week in Italy arguing with the press

2199
01:47:55,600 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 28: about some misinterpreted words from him about a quote PlayStation

2200
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:02,799
Speaker 28: ban on. But it's not the same squad as before,

2201
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:05,679
Speaker 28: and really this is an Italian team that is lacking

2202
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:09,200
Speaker 28: attacking options. They know, how longer have Varati, they no

2203
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:13,759
Speaker 28: longer have Incigne. They will have Jean Lucas Scamaca nineteen

2204
01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:16,200
Speaker 28: goals this season for Adalanta, but he's only scored for

2205
01:48:16,280 --> 01:48:18,640
Speaker 28: Italy one time so far. But this will be a

2206
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:22,080
Speaker 28: really good defensive squad. I just don't know if that's

2207
01:48:22,120 --> 01:48:25,600
Speaker 28: really going to cut it in twenty twenty four. And

2208
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:28,840
Speaker 28: it's really tough for me as an Italian fan to

2209
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 28: watch this and just kind of hold my breath wondering

2210
01:48:31,360 --> 01:48:33,679
Speaker 28: what's going to go wrong. But my pick for Euro

2211
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 28: and I keep doing this and I regret it every

2212
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 28: year though is England. But here's the thing, if not now,

2213
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:45,960
Speaker 28: when for England. This England squad features a wonderful midfield

2214
01:48:46,320 --> 01:48:50,120
Speaker 28: Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice. They have a resurgent Harry Kane

2215
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 28: who was great in Germany this past year, the phenomenal

2216
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:57,639
Speaker 28: buoyak Osaka sixteen goals for Arsenal. They came so close

2217
01:48:57,720 --> 01:49:00,240
Speaker 28: in twenty twenty, losing in that shootout to Italy. But

2218
01:49:01,040 --> 01:49:04,640
Speaker 28: each year England comes back more loaded, more stocked up,

2219
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:07,599
Speaker 28: and much like the World Cup, you have to wonder

2220
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 28: are they going to screw this up or are they

2221
01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:11,880
Speaker 28: actually going to bring it home? You just kind of

2222
01:49:11,920 --> 01:49:14,519
Speaker 28: hold your breath wondering what's going to happen. But still

2223
01:49:14,880 --> 01:49:17,000
Speaker 28: on paper to the best team, they're one of the

2224
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 28: favorites and they're my pick for Euro twenty twenty four.

2225
01:49:20,280 --> 01:49:22,479
Speaker 28: Let's move over to Copa America. It's going to start

2226
01:49:22,600 --> 01:49:25,799
Speaker 28: next week. There's always this is a contest that always

2227
01:49:25,800 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 28: seems to come down to Argentina and Brazil. Argentina, the

2228
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 28: defending champions, once again here. This is probably Lionel Messi's

2229
01:49:34,160 --> 01:49:36,720
Speaker 28: final time with Argentina. I don't know if he's going

2230
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:38,559
Speaker 28: to be on the World Cup squad one more time,

2231
01:49:39,200 --> 01:49:41,800
Speaker 28: but it's certainly going to be the last Copa for

2232
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:44,360
Speaker 28: one of the greatest players we've ever seen. Brazil always

2233
01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 28: a heavyweight in this, but let's talk about the United States,

2234
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:50,599
Speaker 28: who will be playing along with several other CONCA Caffe

2235
01:49:50,640 --> 01:49:54,840
Speaker 28: nations like Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama. USA had a

2236
01:49:55,000 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 28: one to one draw against Brazil in a friendly leading

2237
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:01,240
Speaker 28: up to this tournament. It ended in eleven game losing

2238
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:04,519
Speaker 28: streak against Brazil for the USA, so that's a good sign.

2239
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 28: But the week prior we had a five to one

2240
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:12,200
Speaker 28: loss to Colombia and it just once again reinforces the

2241
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:18,240
Speaker 28: problem with the United States. A massive, massive, very inconsistent,

2242
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:21,679
Speaker 28: and really it's kind of always been the frustration watching

2243
01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:24,320
Speaker 28: a Greg bear Halter squad where you just know they

2244
01:50:24,400 --> 01:50:26,280
Speaker 28: have the talent there, and they know they have the

2245
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:29,760
Speaker 28: talent to compete, but it just never really seems to

2246
01:50:29,880 --> 01:50:32,559
Speaker 28: translate game to game and you're just left stretching your

2247
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:35,960
Speaker 28: head wondering, why does this club, why does this team

2248
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:39,240
Speaker 28: who can draw even with Brazil, one of the greatest

2249
01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 28: nations in the world at soccer, and then lose five

2250
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:45,040
Speaker 28: to one to Columbia earlier than that. It just it

2251
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:47,280
Speaker 28: never makes sense. And this is going to be the

2252
01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 28: USA playing on its home turf here in America, this

2253
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:51,640
Speaker 28: is where COPA.

2254
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:54,679
Speaker 6: Will be, and it just keeps going back months and months.

2255
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:59,000
Speaker 28: You can look to the game against Jamaica in March

2256
01:50:59,439 --> 01:51:02,640
Speaker 28: and the each by Greg Borhalter there as he's just

2257
01:51:02,800 --> 01:51:05,560
Speaker 28: trying to get his guys in the United States to

2258
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 28: take all of these games seriously if they are going

2259
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:10,600
Speaker 28: to compete at COPA, and by his own admission, it

2260
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:13,320
Speaker 28: seems to be in one year out the other sometimes,

2261
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 28: which is terrifying to think about really, because that's ultimately

2262
01:51:17,520 --> 01:51:20,680
Speaker 28: been the problem with the United States has been this consistency.

2263
01:51:20,880 --> 01:51:23,680
Speaker 28: And if I may Bernie, where's the buzz around.

2264
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:24,559
Speaker 6: The US men's team?

2265
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:26,800
Speaker 28: The women always get a lot of attention, Yes we

2266
01:51:26,920 --> 01:51:30,120
Speaker 28: know that, but like, where is the buzz around this

2267
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:33,720
Speaker 28: US men's scene? This is supposedly great generation. I have

2268
01:51:33,920 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 28: seen plenty of empty stadiums for a team USA. It

2269
01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:40,040
Speaker 28: is certainly not the kind of fan turnout we used

2270
01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:43,639
Speaker 28: to get when it was Tim Howard and Landon Donovan

2271
01:51:43,760 --> 01:51:47,240
Speaker 28: and Clinton Dempsey. It feels like that fire under the

2272
01:51:47,360 --> 01:51:50,720
Speaker 28: fan base has just completely gone out and nobody is

2273
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:54,639
Speaker 28: really resonating with this current generation. This squad is better

2274
01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:57,880
Speaker 28: than ever, and yet media attention is nowhere near what

2275
01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:02,080
Speaker 28: it was just ten year years ago with that past generation.

2276
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 28: Nobody is really resonating with these guys right now, And

2277
01:52:05,520 --> 01:52:07,400
Speaker 28: to be honest, can't really blame them when we have

2278
01:52:07,560 --> 01:52:11,040
Speaker 28: these kind of consistency problems, because yes, Christian Pulisich is better,

2279
01:52:11,120 --> 01:52:13,840
Speaker 28: and yes Giovanni Raina is better, even though he keeps

2280
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 28: getting screwed out of a lot of playing time no

2281
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:18,680
Speaker 28: matter which your Apan club he goes to. But it's

2282
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:21,200
Speaker 28: really hard when you just see these guys out there

2283
01:52:21,240 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 28: with a lack of fire game to game. You want

2284
01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:27,280
Speaker 28: them to fight like dogs like Clint Dempsey did, and

2285
01:52:27,520 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 28: I just I don't think that's there right now, and

2286
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 28: that's ultimately ultimately going to hurt them in COPA For

2287
01:52:33,160 --> 01:52:36,479
Speaker 28: me me though, on COPA, my favorite my favorite is

2288
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:42,839
Speaker 28: on Brazil Venicius Junior Rodrigo. They've had some fantastic players

2289
01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 28: here from the club side of things, and expect again

2290
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 28: another wonderful outing from Vensius Junior. I'm kind of hoping

2291
01:52:50,920 --> 01:52:53,719
Speaker 28: good things from this Brazil squad here, especially as Argentina

2292
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:56,320
Speaker 28: starts to show its age. I think if we're just

2293
01:52:56,360 --> 01:52:58,479
Speaker 28: talking about the United States, you just hope to see

2294
01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:01,639
Speaker 28: them in the knockout and come out of their group,

2295
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,879
Speaker 28: which should be easy for them. They're playing Bolivia, Panama

2296
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:07,600
Speaker 28: and Uruguay. But Panama has always been trouble for the

2297
01:53:07,720 --> 01:53:10,639
Speaker 28: United States for whatever reason, and Uruguay is no slouch.

2298
01:53:10,880 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 28: That's it for me, Bernie, enjoy Copa, Enjoy Euros. We've

2299
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 28: got plenty to talk about next time on the World

2300
01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 28: of Soccer.

2301
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:24,360
Speaker 2: All right, Chris brought up a lot of good points there.

2302
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 2: But coming up we wrap up the show and we

2303
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:33,200
Speaker 2: might dive back into the world of hot dogs. There

2304
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:37,920
Speaker 2: might be something for you to look forward to, something

2305
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 2: called unfinished Beef. Yeah, I'll tell you what, never miss

2306
01:53:43,520 --> 01:53:47,960
Speaker 2: a chance to capitalize if you get my drift. And

2307
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 2: I actually think, I actually think this little deal coming

2308
01:53:52,360 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 2: up September two might just be with the doctor order.

2309
01:53:56,280 --> 01:54:00,160
Speaker 2: By the way, just one thing and mark you. I'll

2310
01:54:00,160 --> 01:54:01,720
Speaker 2: be like a fat kid love cake. But man, I

2311
01:54:01,760 --> 01:54:03,960
Speaker 2: can't get past the ketchup on the hot dog. Deal man.

2312
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:06,479
Speaker 2: I just feel like when you put ketchup on a

2313
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:09,800
Speaker 2: hot dog, you're not enhancing the flavor, You're camouflaging it.

2314
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:11,160
Speaker 2: It's killing you. Killing.

2315
01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 27: Ketchup used to be something sweet that I would take.

2316
01:54:14,280 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 27: But once I found out ketchup is too sweet and

2317
01:54:17,280 --> 01:54:20,240
Speaker 27: you should cut it out, then I went over the mustard.

2318
01:54:20,439 --> 01:54:23,000
Speaker 27: But I enjoyed it because it was sweet.

2319
01:54:23,520 --> 01:54:25,960
Speaker 2: All fair, man, I just I'm hung up on this one.

2320
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:28,000
Speaker 2: I just feel like ketchup on hot dogs like putting

2321
01:54:28,040 --> 01:54:30,519
Speaker 2: ice cubes and wine. Man, so like eating pizza with

2322
01:54:30,600 --> 01:54:31,280
Speaker 2: a spoon, but.

2323
01:54:31,360 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 26: If you want it cold, you want to put ice

2324
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:33,920
Speaker 26: in the wine.

2325
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:36,520
Speaker 6: Thank you for driving.

2326
01:54:37,120 --> 01:54:38,680
Speaker 2: I could see we have I could see we have

2327
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:42,680
Speaker 2: future topics coming up here as we are no longer

2328
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:44,160
Speaker 2: no longer.

2329
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 26: Some people like the little noise when they stir their

2330
01:54:46,880 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 26: you know, when they swig their cup.

2331
01:54:48,760 --> 01:54:49,960
Speaker 6: They tink tink, tink tin.

2332
01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:54,160
Speaker 2: I learned something new. I learned something new. All right,

2333
01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:56,000
Speaker 2: Coming up, we wrap up the show and I share

2354
01:56:01,480 --> 01:56:04,720
Speaker 2: hot dogs, and you know we also like Netflix and chill.

2355
01:56:04,920 --> 01:56:08,680
Speaker 2: Well that's there's a segue Netflix and Chill. Well, maybe

2356
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,720
Speaker 2: not Netflix and Chill, but Netflix and hot Dogs. Well,

2357
01:56:12,160 --> 01:56:15,880
Speaker 2: turns out Netflix is getting into the competitive eating business. No,

2358
01:56:15,960 --> 01:56:19,160
Speaker 2: and I'm not talking about Mike Tyson. Maybe biting Jake

2359
01:56:19,200 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 2: Paul's here work with me. Labor Day, September second, two

2360
01:56:25,200 --> 01:56:28,760
Speaker 2: legends of the Nathan's hot Dog Eating Contest, Joey Chestnut

2361
01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:32,080
Speaker 2: and Takaro Kobayashi. But you didn't know his first name,

2362
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 2: You just saw Kobayashi. They will have their center stage

2363
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:42,640
Speaker 2: on Netflix and a live special event called Chestnut Versus

2364
01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:46,960
Speaker 2: Kobayashi and Unfinished Beef. Now, we don't know where the

2365
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:49,680
Speaker 2: this fight's gonna take place. We know we'll coach. You

2366
01:56:49,760 --> 01:56:52,600
Speaker 2: know the Tyson Fight's gonna take place in Jerry Jones

2367
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:56,560
Speaker 2: World in Dallas or Arlington. Excuse me, we still know

2368
01:56:56,640 --> 01:57:00,480
Speaker 2: the specific timing. But we do know this. Flix has

2369
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:04,000
Speaker 2: said no pun The hot dogs will be all beef.

2370
01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:07,600
Speaker 2: No plant hot dogs here. Okay, So listen, you have

2371
01:57:07,800 --> 01:57:10,280
Speaker 2: to know that these two guys actually went head to head.

2372
01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 2: Kobayashi and enjoy Chestnut for a long time. Chestnut beat

2373
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:22,120
Speaker 2: Kobayashi and a five hot Dogs sudden death eat off

2374
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:24,960
Speaker 2: I guess you'd call it that, right. That's the last

2375
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:26,600
Speaker 2: time that competed head to head. Believe it or not,

2376
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 2: it was two thousand and nine. So Chessnut won this

2377
01:57:30,560 --> 01:57:33,640
Speaker 2: event sixteen times. Nathan's winner, including the last eight years.

2378
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:36,440
Speaker 2: Not allowed to participate this year after he inate the

2379
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:41,360
Speaker 2: scholarship with Impossible Foods, which recently released a plant based dog,

2380
01:57:42,120 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 2: So I think his absence could have an impact on

2381
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:49,040
Speaker 2: the ratings. We'll see I think brought that up there,

2382
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,440
Speaker 2: somebody brought up But here's the point. Chest Nuts still

2383
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 2: holds the record for most hot dogs consumed in ten

2384
01:57:54,560 --> 01:58:01,480
Speaker 2: minutes seventy six. But Kobayashi really gets chestnuts attention. He says,

2385
01:58:01,520 --> 01:58:04,760
Speaker 2: of all my years and competitive eating, Kobayashi stands out

2386
01:58:04,800 --> 01:58:08,680
Speaker 2: as my fiercest rival. You compete against him. He made me,

2387
01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:11,640
Speaker 2: He pushed me to be so much better Netflix giving

2388
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 2: people what they want. Okay, So September second, even though

2389
01:58:16,720 --> 01:58:18,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like we're gonna be able to see

2390
01:58:19,320 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 2: Joey Chestnut compete in the Nathan's Contest. Here a week

2391
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:29,640
Speaker 2: from Thursday. Two weeks from Thursday, we'll see these two

2392
01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:32,040
Speaker 2: go ahead to head on September second, and I think

2393
01:58:32,120 --> 01:58:35,520
Speaker 2: it'll bring up big, a big audience, so we'll continue

2394
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:38,200
Speaker 2: to follow this. Netflix is getting in the game. Man,

2395
01:58:38,280 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 2: they ain't playing. They're in the NFL now and Tyson,
