Speaker 2: guys as well.

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: There's a little bit of move with the point.

22
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: Spreads for March Madness and for entertainment purposes. Purdue yesterday

23
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 2: was favored by seven and a half against Texas. Now

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: it's six and a half Nebraska. It was one and

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: a half against Iowa, still one and a half that

26
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: they're favored. Arizona was favored by eight and a half

27
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: yesterday against Arkansas, now seven and a half. Houston was

28
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: favored by two and a half. Now it's three and

29
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: a half against Illinois, and Michigan against Alabama. Michigan was

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: favored by ten and a half yesterday, now it's nine

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: and a half. Also the odds to win the tournament,

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 2: Arizona is a slight favorite over Michigan. Then it's Duke,

33
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: and then it drops down to Houston. Then it drops

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: down even further to Purdue, Illinois, Iowa State. Yukon surprisingly

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: is what eighth on this list, but Arizona and Michigan

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: duke in there and then Houston and at plus seven hundred,

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: then Purdue plus thirteen hundred, Illinois plus fourteen hundred, Iowa

38
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: State plus seventeen hundred, then Yukon plus twenty five hundred,

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: and then it starts to dip down to Michigan State,

40
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 2: Saint John's, Arkansas, Nebraska, Tennessee, Iowa, Alabama, and Texas, Texas

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: phone calls if you listen to the program. You know

46
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: what I think of Victor weinbin Yama that if he

47
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: doesn't win the MVP this year, it's going to be

48
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: his next year, because this is a coming out party.

49
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 2: He was a curiosity and then I wanted to see

50
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 2: him with a good point guard. I wanted to see

51
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: him kind of figure out he knew how to play defense.

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 2: I wanted to see if he knew how to play offense,

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 2: where to kind of find his spots. Well, he's finding

54
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: his spots now and he's making a case a late

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: run from MVP.

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 4: Now.

57
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 2: I've been pretty staunch supporter of SGA that he is

58
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: going to get the MVP. I don't think he's the

59
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 2: best player in the game, but it's not always given

60
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: to the best player in the game. You have to

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: decide whatever your definition of value is. Do I think

62
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: OKAC is a playoff team without SGA. I do now

63
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 2: Is that fair to him? Is San Antonio a playoff

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 2: team without Wembenyama?

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: I don't think they are.

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 2: Jalen Brown quietly carried the Celtics while Jason Tatum was out.

67
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: I still think Jokers the best player in the game.

68
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: He's a statistical anomaly. But this is where it becomes

69
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: a little bit more of Okay, people want to know

70
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: this guy play defense? Does that guy play defense? Jalen

71
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 2: Brunson does he play defense?

72
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: No?

73
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if Kid Cunningham plays defense. I don't

74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 2: know if SGA plays defense. I know Victor Webbinyama plays defense.

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: And when you think about it, he's going to be

76
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: the defensive player of the year. So at one end

77
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: of the floor, he's the best player in the game,

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: no doubt, best player in the game. How much does

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: that count? How much does that matter to voters? It

80
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: seems to matter when we want to vote against somebody.

81
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: When you say, yeah, but he doesn't play any defense. Okay,

82
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: Now you've got a guy who's the best defensive player

83
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: in the game, who is going to give you, you know,

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: twenty two and twelve and three or four blocks every

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 2: single night. So at the other end, he's still very

86
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: high level. Last night, webban Yama had twenty six, fifteen

87
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: and five blocks. So over the last three years, there

88
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: have been eleven games in the NBA where a player

89
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,799
Speaker 2: has had those numbers. Wemby has six of the eleven games.

90
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis is the only player with more than one.

91
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 2: Dad of the Day brought to you by Panini America,

92
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program. But I want

93
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: you to listen to Victor wemban Yama after the game

94
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: last night, and I want to remind you that he's

95
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: only twenty two years of age, But listen to he's

96
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: just kind of matter of fact, pragmatic, just like, hey,

97
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: should I be the MVP, here's Victor wembn Yama.

98
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 5: My first one would be that defense is sixty percent

99
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: of the game and that it is undervalue so far

100
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 5: in the interview race, because I believe I'm the most

101
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 5: impectful player defensively in the league. The second argument would

102
00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 5: be we almost swept Okay seeing this season, and we

103
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 5: dominated him three times with their real team and four

104
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 5: times with year. My third argument would be that offense

105
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 5: impact is not just for us.

106
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of fact. Now I will say,

107
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: if Lebron had said something like this, you know the

108
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: media would be crushing him. But he's twenty two. He's

109
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 2: stating his case and he's right. They won twenty two

110
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 2: of their last twenty four. They are a real force

111
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,719
Speaker 2: in the West. They're a real force to be able

112
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 2: to play for a championship. And if you watch them

113
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 2: the previous years, they weren't a very good team. But

114
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 2: he's finding his spots. He can shoot a three, he

115
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: can take it to the hoop. He worked out with

116
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: Jamal Crawford, who had one of the better handles in

117
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: the history of the NBA. So Wemby in the off

118
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: season worked with Jamal Crawford because he wanted to a

119
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: seven to five guy, wanted to improve his and he has.

120
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: But then you have him at the other end. He

121
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: can guard the three, and he can guard the rim,

122
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 2: and he doesn't have to take more than a couple

123
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: of steps. He is truly unique, and he's only twenty

124
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: two years of age. So when we start to equate value,

125
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: that's where it's open to interpretation. Is he the best

126
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 2: player in the game, No, he's the most unique player

127
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: in the game.

128
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 3: Yes.

129
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: Is he going to be the best player in the game. Yes,

130
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 2: now there's a late push for Luka Doncic. Now he's

131
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: leading and scoring. I understand that the Lakers have played well,

132
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: they lost last night, But how much do I give

133
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: credence to he doesn't play defense. If Wemby is an

134
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: A plus on the defensive end, and let's say he's

135
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 2: an A minus on the offensive end, does anybody match

136
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 2: up with those grades? And the answer is nobody. And

137
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: if if I look at what his team has done

138
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: more importantly, we tend to look if the Spurs had

139
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: the best record in the West, Wemby would win the MVP.

140
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: But should it be that his team isn't as good

141
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: as OKC but his value? Look at what they've done.

142
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: Now it's not a oh you got to see the

143
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: Spurs their curiosity. Now it's like OKC doesn't want San Antonio.

144
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: They're going to do their best to avoid because Wemby

145
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 2: can't wait to play against Chad Holmgern. And that's another

146
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: thing that I love. You know what happened at the

147
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: All Star Game. Wemby cared and the other players started

148
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: to care. I love the enthusiasm, and it matters he cares.

149
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: He plays hard like these are all the things you want,

150
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 2: And he wasn't cocky. He was just let me lay

151
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: this out to you in case you haven't thought of this,

152
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: and make a case. He's not gonna win the MVP,

153
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: but he should be finishing second. And he's only twenty two,

154
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: which is remarkable when you look at the skill of

155
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: any player that if he was six, I mean, he's

156
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,719
Speaker 2: Kevin Durant plus seven inches. And at the other end,

157
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: he's the best defensive player in the game now. Katie

158
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 2: obviously a better offensive player, but not for much longer,

159
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: because once Wemby starts hitting the mid range jumper, he

160
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: can shoot a three, and he can go to the hole.

161
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to pick your poison with him because he'll.

162
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: Make you pay.

163
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: You're gonna let me shoot the three, you're gonna let

164
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: me drive to the hoop, or you're gonna give me

165
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: that mid range jumper. And if I'm Wemby, I'd be

166
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: pounding that mid range jumper. I'd make you pay because

167
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 2: then once you come out, I'm going by you. And

168
00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 2: then the defensive end, it's remarkable to watch him. He

169
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: can he can cover both sides of the lane. He

170
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 2: can go out to the three, he can guard the rim. Yeah, Paul, he.

171
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 6: Had a block last night where the guy beat him

172
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 6: and was going for a reverse layup. He was on

173
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 6: the back side of the rim, reach across the net

174
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 6: and blocked it from the backside. It was freakish.

175
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: It's remarkable, and you got have to go out of

176
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 2: your way to sometimes find the spurs when they're playing.

177
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 2: And okay, see for that matter, to be fair to SGA,

178
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: but with Wemby, it's such I mean, you're watching you're

179
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: watching history, and look, I've been around this game for

180
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 2: almost sixty years. Like this is truly truly unique with

181
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: what we're seeing. But there are other players that I

182
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 2: thought could be like this. I thought Ralph Samson could

183
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 2: be like this. I thought Sean Bradley could be like this.

184
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: Guys who were that tall build could run and they

185
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: had great touch. This is different. This is unique.

186
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 3: Now.

187
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 2: You know, we talk about people changing the game, Steph

188
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: Curry changed the game more than any other player in history. Well,

189
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: you can be Steph Curry because he's six two sixty three,

190
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: Like you can go out there and go I can

191
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: shoot that shot. You can't be seven to five so

192
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: you know they had the campaign to be like Mike. Well,

193
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: nobody could be like Mike, but we would like to

194
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: be like Mike. We can be like Steph Curry in

195
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: our mind. We can't be like Wimby.

196
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

197
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 6: Point, Maybe women Yama changes your game because you have

198
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 6: to play defense completely differently on him. Your offense, you

199
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 6: can't take normal jumpers. And I was looking how he's

200
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 6: finishing the season. In the month of March, he's up

201
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 6: to twenty seven points per game, he's up to twelve rebounds,

202
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 6: he's up to four blocks. Though he's having his best

203
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 6: month of his season right now.

204
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: And this is what I mean. This has to count

205
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: for something a little bit more. You know, this is

206
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 2: getting ready for playoff position. You've won twenty two to

207
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 2: twenty four. Now OKC is won twelve in a row.

208
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: SGA gives you twenty a night. And maybe it's not

209
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 2: fair to him. He's not exciting. He's a great closer,

210
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: but he's known for what drawing founds. That's first thing

211
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: you think of, Oh, he's really good at drawing founds,

212
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: which I don't have a problem with. I think NBA

213
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 2: officials have to relearn how to officiate today's game. Because

214
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: you can call holding in past interference on just about

215
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 2: every play in the NFL, you have to decide how

216
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: often you're gonna call it. It's not there isn't a penalty,

217
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: it's do you want to call that? And in the NBA,

218
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 2: and this is the death of the NBA some nights

219
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: where you're watching and it's forever, we watch this in

220
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 2: March madness, Like there are games.

221
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: Where you go, God, how long is this? Is this

222
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: the same game we've been watching?

223
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 2: It's I think the officials got to relearn on what

224
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: they're looking for and what you're going to call. Because

225
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: if I'm SGA, just like James Harden, can I get

226
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 2: away with this? I'm going to continue to do it.

227
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: All the great players and even that you know the

228
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: players who aren't great, they try to get away with this.

229
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 2: But if I can push off, you're not going to

230
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: call it. If I can draw fouls', you're going to

231
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: call those. I go to the line, You're going to

232
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 2: continue to do it. But I think it's incumbent upon

233
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: the commissioner and the officials to look at the game

234
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 2: and decide how you want to call this game, because

235
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: there's nothing better than when the game flows where it's

236
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: back and forth and back and forth. It's you know,

237
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: it's not do it. Nobody wants to see that. But Wemby,

238
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to see him in person.

239
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mark, is there Statford shots altered because it's almost

240
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 7: like Max Crosby or Hurries like, you know what. He

241
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 7: might win Defensive Player of the Year just off of

242
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 7: the shots that he alters, never mind the shots that

243
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 7: he actually blocks, because he makes you think twice about

244
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 7: even putting up a three point right.

245
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: I'm sure that they have stats on that of affecting

246
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 2: a shot. But when you think about it, there's only

247
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: one other player in the NBA. When you think defense,

248
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 2: you think this guy, and it's Rudy Gobert. But that's

249
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: all he does and he is nowhere near in the

250
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: area code of Victor win Benyama. Rudy Gobert is going

251
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: to the Hall of Fame because he has four Defensive

252
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: Player of the Year awards.

253
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: He will be a Hall of Famer.

254
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Wemby is going to do that and then everything he

255
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: does on the offensive ent Yes.

256
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: Mark, I'll go back to the Olympics.

257
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 7: Rudy Gobert was not on the floor for the US

258
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 7: versus France in the gold medal game. Hey, you're the

259
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 7: defensive player of the Year four times. Remember Wemby was

260
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 7: supposed to win Defensive Player of the Year as a rookie.

261
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: He should have.

262
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: He should have absolutely, But sometimes you know, people get

263
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: into this, Oh yeah, i'll vote for him, and I'll

264
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: vote for him.

265
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: And we don't talk about defense.

266
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: Now, look at these points in the NBA, like you're

267
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: getting one hundred and thirty and you're losing games, but

268
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: you got a guy who cares about playing defense, who

269
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: plays it at a very high level, no pun intended,

270
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: and that has to be factored into the MVP. I

271
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 2: don't know if it will. And once again, I think

272
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: SGA is going to win. They've been the best team,

273
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: defending champs. He's consistent, he scores twenty a night. But

274
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: they're the best team. Yes, Mark, And.

275
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 7: If the Spurs and are Thunder meet in the playoffs,

276
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 7: if SGA wins the MVP Award, or wins the MVP

277
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 7: Award over Wemby, you think he hated OKAC before. He's

278
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 7: going to go nuclear on OKC in the playoffs if

279
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 7: he sees them.

280
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is a rivalry. It's a true rivalry.

281
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: And you could hear him he said, hey, look we

282
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: beat them when they had their lineup, we beat them

283
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: three times.

284
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: I like it.

285
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: But at twenty two, I know, we love the story.

286
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: And I always go back to how would the media

287
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: have treated Lebron at twenty two if you said, you know,

288
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: I'm the best player, this is what I do. Nobody

289
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 2: does what I do. Wemby, it just feels like the

290
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: way he said it got a little bit of his

291
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 2: French accent in there, and you're like.

292
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, yeah, I'm all right, all right, I

293
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: believe you. I'm behind into this.

294
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul, I know there's only ten games remaining. Thunder

295
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 6: or fifty seven wins, Spurs have fifty four wins. If

296
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 6: somehow the Spurs steal the one seed in the East

297
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 6: with how much would that affect the MVP voting. It's possible.

298
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: It's striking dim then well yeah it's possible.

299
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: It's three games, but you know, Okac is not losing now,

300
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 2: you know they they're back to full strength. Feels like,

301
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: but if the Spurs maintain this, I mean this might

302
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 2: be one of those ten years from now we look

303
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 2: back and say, wait, why didn't Wemby win it that year?

304
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it might be that way, but it's fun

305
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: to watch. It's fun to watch the growth that you

306
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: see of you know, he was kind of not awkward

307
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: because he had a flow to his game, a rhythm

308
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: to his game, but he didn't know where to stand

309
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 2: in the NBA. He was getting roughed up, knocked out

310
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: of the paint, and then he finally got a point

311
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: guard and he positioned him.

312
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

313
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 8: I imagine, yeah, that watching Wemby right now is similar

314
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 8: to what it must have been like to see Wilt

315
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 8: Chamberlain play. They like, there's one dude out here that

316
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 8: is just different. It's a totally different level. Yes, all right,

317
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 8: let me take a break. I know I get carried away.

318
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 8: I have a friend who's a Boston Celtic fan. He's

319
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 8: already responding to me. Oh, here we go with a

320
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 8: Wemby love.

321
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 2: Yep, here is the Wemby low of WHIMVP. All right,

322
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 2: we'll take a break. We'll come up with the poll question.

323
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: We got Clark Kellogg and Reggie Miller a little later on.

324
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: We're back after this.

325

334
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 9: here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on

335
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 9: our show.

336
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.

337
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: What what are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you

338
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: wasn't talking about you.

339
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 7: You took those clips totally of context.

340
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, Well after this promo, I'm gonna take you

341
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 9: out and beat you.

342
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: Let me put this into context. Shut up.

343
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Paully and Toni Fusco

344
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 9: Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

345
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: Yee Baseball's Opening Day, Oh, by the way, tomorrow San

346
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: Francisco Giants and the New York Yankees on Netflix. As

347
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 2: Netflix tries to delve further into live sports, poll question

348
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: Seaton for the first hour of the program, you got one.

349
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 8: We've got a few options here from the to double D.

350
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 8: You see, the only reasonable thing to do to balance

351
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 8: Yukon women's hoop dominance. Is make the Huskies have just

352
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 8: four players on the court or allowing opposing teams to

353
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 8: have six players on the court.

354
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: Okay, gotta do something. Yeah.

355
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 2: Connecticut won handily over Syracuse yesterday and the Syracuse women's

356
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 2: basketball coach Felicia Lagette Jack had this to say about

357
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 2: playing Connecticut every March.

358
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 10: For us to do what we've done, to continuously have

359
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 10: to come to Yukon and every single school that I

360
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,120
Speaker 10: go to from Buffalo is unfair to.

361
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: The young people.

362
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 10: I don't know what it is. Somebody said, is there

363
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 10: something that they might have against me? If that's the case,

364
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 10: and we need to communicate about that. But for us

365
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 10: to be what we've done in our body of work

366
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 10: to have to come and play that best team in

367
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 10: the country, I mean, Gino has this thing going and

368
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 10: he is I love what he's done, but we I

369
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 10: thought deserved a little more respect after being in his

370
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 10: business for thirty seven years, and to have to come

371
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 10: and be in this particular bracket every freaking year is unacceptable.

372
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 3: All right, No, it's not a neutral site.

373
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 2: This is what the you know women's tournament does they

374
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: want to take advantage of local fan bases here. They

375
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: don't want a neutral site where maybe you don't get

376
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: large crowds. They want atmosphere here. Connecticut is the number

377
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,479
Speaker 2: one team in the country. Connecticut and Syracuse have been

378
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: five times in the NCAA Tournament since twenty s sixteen.

379
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: They met in the national title game in twenty sixteen.

380
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: The last four games have been in the round of

381
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: thirty two. Yukon has won those games by an average

382
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: of thirty one points. I understand coach is going to

383
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: be sensitive. You could see it and you could hear

384
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: it in her voice, But you got humiliated. It didn't

385
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: matter where you were playing. You gotta be honest about that.

386
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 2: Did you have your team prepared? And if your team

387
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: is worthy of twenty seven wins or whatever you had

388
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 2: on the season, you certainly didn't showcase that. And you're

389
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: eventually going to have to play Connecticut because they're going

390
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 2: to continue to win. I don't think this has anything

391
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 2: to do that she coached at Buffalo or Indiana or

392
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 2: wherever else and now at Syracuse, that the tournament is

393
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 2: going to go. You know who, We're going to embarrass.

394
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: We're going to embarrass Syracuse. Now, I think that's unfair

395
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: to Connecticut. Connecticut and Gino Oriama has makes no apologies.

396
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: Gino says, hey, you have to raise your game, come

397
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 2: up to us. They're not coming back down to you.

398
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: And I think they made the announcement last night like

399
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: a one hundred million dollar renovation arena, locker rooms. I mean,

400
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 2: this is big business here, This is a big deal here.

401
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: And yes, there are probably four or five schools each

402
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: year that can win a national championship or at least

403
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: play in the National championship game. Syracuse got there ten

404
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 2: years ago. They are light years away. But for her

405
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 2: to say, you're singling me out and I've been in

406
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 2: the game for thirty years, I think that's unfair to

407
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: the performance of Connecticut and the lack of performance by Syracuse.

408
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Polling, and like.

409
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 6: You've always said, the NCAA tournament is also building a tournament.

410
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 6: They're going to put local teams against each other, teams

411
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,719
Speaker 6: with natural East post rivalries. The fact that Syracuse and

412
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 6: Yukon played in a final is inherent that they're going

413
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 6: to match them up as soon as they can going forward.

414
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 6: And it's just a coincidence that they're four hours away

415
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 6: from each other, So you're definitely going to try to

416
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 6: fill that building with Syracuse fans as well.

417
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: And I understand the sensitivity. You got humiliated.

418
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: And then you go into that press conference soon after

419
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 2: and you could see the emotion that was there. You

420
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 2: could hear the emotion that was there. I just think

421
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: you got to separate. You got to separate one from

422
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 2: the other. The NCAA is not out to get you,

423
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: because were they out to get you when you're at Buffalo?

424
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: Were they out to get Yeah, you're going to play Connecticut.

425
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 2: You should want to play Connecticut. You want to play

426
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: the best, do it early. But I think you got

427
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 2: to be fair that Yukon is just in a different

428
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 2: stratosphere here, And yes, are you going to play at Connecticut?

429
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 2: Yes you are, because there is no other women's team

430
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 2: in America that comes close to the fan base.

431
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 3: Now.

432
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 2: Tennessee used to have this, LSU still has a great

433
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 2: following South Carolina. There are really good programs. Connecticut's just different.

434
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 2: But it feels like coach might be trying to deflect

435
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: a little bit here. I mean, that's the kind of

436
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 2: score you would see in high school. And PAULI said

437
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: Connecticut will be up by thirty. At a half time,

438
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 2: it was sixty five to twelve. I mean Connecticut's really good.

439
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: They're not sixty five to twelve against a team that's

440
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: ranked in the top twenty five.

441
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 7: Yes, Marv, Well, I may have to disagree with you

442
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 7: because the level is different between the top five teams

443
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 7: and teams twenty through twenty five. So it might be

444
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 7: a thirty to forty point.

445
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 3: Now, not sixty five to twelve different.

446
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: They were all I don't know. I couldn't tell you

447
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: what happened with that. Yeah.

448
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 8: See, there's very clearly a discrepancy between say even that right,

449
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 8: Say well, Marvin said the top five, even the top ten,

450
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 8: the bottom is so much lower than.

451
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 3: The top is high.

452
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, and there's really there's only i'll make

453
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 8: up numbers here, but if there's thirty really really good

454
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 8: players and there's another nine hundred and seventy of them playing,

455
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 8: you know that there's going to create these types of

456
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 8: situations more often than not.

457
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Connecticut is an overwhelming favor to win the title.

458
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: I wouldn't rule at UCLA, Texas, South Carolina, LSU.

459
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 3: That's basically it.

460
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, Mark, and it's difficult when you watch something like

461
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 7: maybe the women's McDonald's All American Game and there's twenty

462
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 7: four girls and they're going to seven schools and three

463
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 7: of them are going to Yukon and three of them

464
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 7: are going to South Carolina and three are going to LSU,

465
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 7: and it's like you're not even spreading out the talent.

466
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: I always go back to Yukon when Diana Trosti was there.

467
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 7: There was one year they won the national time she

468
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 7: was the third best player on the team. Diana Troski

469
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 7: was the third best player because she had Sue Burden

470
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 7: swing cash and you had all this talent on one

471
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 7: team and you can't spread it at least like you can.

472
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 4: In the men's game.

473
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 7: Yes, Todd And to suggest or think that if we're

474
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 7: somewhere outside of Gamble pavilion, you could play a damn

475
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 7: Antarctica instead of sixty five twelve at halftime would have

476
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 7: been like fifty nine to twenty three.

477
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 4: Would there have been any kind of significant difference? They wouldn't.

478
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 2: It is tough to play Connecticut, but it's tough because

479
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: start with the talent that they have and then you

480
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 2: have the environment there. But I just think that the

481
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: anger is kind of misdirected here. It really should be

482
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: at your team. Your team played sloppy, missing shots, easy shots,

483
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: throwing the ball out of bound. I mean some of

484
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: that is because of Connecticut, but you know there's you

485
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: don't have the nil money where we can evenly disperse

486
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 2: talent across America, where the best player like aj Debansa

487
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: can go to BYU for seven million dollars and BYU

488
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: makes the tournament. You don't have that in women's basketball.

489
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: There still is a very very deep divide of who

490
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 2: is good and who is not, or who is great

491
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: and who is just good. But I understand the frustration.

492
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: You could have called a press conference at a halftime

493
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 2: if you wanted to.

494
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Paul I.

495
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 6: Was hoping weirdly because little sadistic that the I think

496
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 6: as Holly Rowe was doing the sideline that on the

497
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 6: way to the locker room, she would interview the Syracuse

498
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 6: head coach.

499
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 3: What do you need to do in the second half?

500
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 10: Coach?

501
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 6: Any adjustments at halftime?

502
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: No? No, I like where we are, We got them

503
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 2: right where we want them. Which do you need to

504
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 2: get going more? Your offense or your defense? We gave

505
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: up sixty five and Willey scored twelve.

506
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 3: They're getting tired from all the shows.

507
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to be exhausted for making all those

508
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 2: baskets there.

509
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 3: Yes, Todd just can't spot.

510
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 7: The husky his fifty three points with your twenty minutes

511
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 7: left of basketball and hope to get back in this snow.

512
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 4: We're gonna give it a shot.

513
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: Thank you, Todd.

514
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: All right, some phone calls here eight seven seven to

515
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 2: three DP show Jesse and Florida leads us off. Good

516
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 2: morning Jesse, Good morning guys.

517
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 3: Fellas sixty four to eighty.

518
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 11: Five double XL T shirt, Dah. I say that because

519
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 11: I think you just created a nice new T shirt.

520
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 11: It's going to be simple. It's a black tea silver

521
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 11: script Wemby Cares because I think he does care and

522
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 11: I would wear that proudly rooting him on the rest

523
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 11: of the season because I got a fifty to one

524
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 11: ticket for him to win the MVP I picked up.

525
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 11: So guys, get to work on that Wemby Cares T shirt.

526
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: I would love it, all right, I still like wim VP.

527
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 2: But Matt in Ohio, Hi, Matt, what's on your mind?

528
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 11: Hey you?

529
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 12: Good morning guys, how's everybody doing great, good good. I

530
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 12: had a kind of a question question and then a comment. So,

531
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 12: as far as Wenbinnana goes, he's kind of.

532
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 13: Like a unicorn. I don't know if that's the right word.

533
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 13: And I think in baseball the same goes for Otani.

534
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 13: I don't know if you guys think there's somebody like

535
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 13: that in the NFL. And then my comment was to

536
00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 13: Marvin that the hands don't make the man.

537
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 3: Oh okay, thanks Christian Syracuse. Hi, Chris, hey Hey, Thanks Dan,

538
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: Hey Dan.

539
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 14: It's funny local media and fans here in Syracuse. Backle

540
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 14: your awards to a t Yeah, yeah, real embarrassing with

541
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 14: coach Logatt. And you were talking about Wemby in the

542
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 14: first segment and I I did a while back too.

543
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 14: But it's going to be great for the media because

544
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 14: he's the antithesis. His teams will be the antithesis of

545
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 14: Tim Duncan's dynasty if he does turn it into a dynasty.

546
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 14: I mean he was mister bank shot. Vanella didn't really

547
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 14: give you anything. I mean, Wenby embraces it. He's animated,

548
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 14: he'll talk, he shows emotion. I mean it's gonna be Yeah,

549
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 14: it's going to be a lot of fun, and he is.

550
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 9: He is so unique.

551
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: It's fun to watch and watch an entire game because

552
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: I always tell people when they show me highlights, I

553
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: always say, I want to see the game, and they're like, well,

554
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: don't these you know kind of bear out how great

555
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 2: this player is, And I go, yes, but I like

556
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 2: to see when you get a shot blocked, or you

557
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 2: throw an interception, or you get sacked, or you strike out.

558
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: I want to see what you do.

559
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 2: You're next at bad, your next snap, your next shot,

560
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: because that's what sports is. I mean, you think about baseball,

561
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 2: seventy percent of the time you fail and you're still

562
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: really good. If you fail seventy percent of the time.

563
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: With basketball, you might make half your shots. So you

564
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 2: have these moments where you're human or you get knocked down,

565
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: you get back up.

566
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 3: Now what do you do?

567
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: That to me?

568
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: Separates you because there are guys who play in college.

569
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: I mean I mentioned this before when I went to

570
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: see the Michigan Ohio State game in Ohio State years ago,

571
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 2: and Justin Fields looked like he was in the backyard

572
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: and there was no like it was a pro day

573
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 2: against Michigan. They could have scored seventy that day. It

574
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: felt like and it, you know, gives you this false

575
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 2: sense of that guy is unbelievable, and we found that

576
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 2: that is true.

577
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 3: He is.

578
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 2: You know, he was on a really good team with

579
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: really good wide receivers playing against a suspect Michigan defense

580
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: and took advantage of it. But everybody got caught up

581
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 2: in that, and you're like, oh my god, look at

582
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,880
Speaker 2: that guy. I want to see what happens when somebody

583
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 2: puts you on your rear end you throw an interception, because.

584
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: That's what the NFL is.

585
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,239

Speaker 2: up with a career high thirty four, made eight three pointers,

603
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: and that was their final home game at Connecticut. She'll

604
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 2: be a top ten pick in the WNBA draft. That's

614
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 8: other if there is another, are tied.

615
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 3: I can't help but think back.

616
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: I think it was on this day that Mike Trout

617
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 2: signed his contract. It was twelve years, four hundred and

618
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: sixty five million. Let me see if I got the numbers.

619
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: Twelve years, four hundred twenty six and a half million,

620
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 2: So that was twenty nineteen on this day, And you

621
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: thought at the time, man that guy, the next Mickey

622
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,720
Speaker 2: Mantle or Willie Mays, and he's the future of the sport.

623
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden he wasn't. And then

624
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they didn't make the playoffs. Then

625
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Otani comes and goes, Then all

626
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 2: of a sudden, he gets injured. Then all of a sudden,

627
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: he doesn't come up in conversation anymore. It happens that quickly,

628
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:49,320
Speaker 2: and it can take an injury, it can take management

629
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 2: making bad decisions, and then you're not relevant anymore. You're

630
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: relevant when you win. Otani won with the Angels. He's

631
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: a curiosity. Now all of a sudden, you're playing in

632
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 2: big games. And that's all we wanted with Mike Trout.

633
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: We wanted to see him in games that mattered. He's

634
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 2: had three playoff games, and that was twelve years ago.

635
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 8: He's been making thirty seven million dollars a year for many, many,

636
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 8: many years and has many left to go.

637
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:25,760
Speaker 6: Yes, Pally Mike Trout's first eight years in the BIGS

638
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,720
Speaker 6: twenty twelve through twenty nineteen, first ballot Hall of Famer

639
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 6: without question, three MVPs. He finished second four times since

640
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 6: then the last seven years he's finished top five for

641
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 6: MVP once.

642
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: But that's why when you look at this guy, can't

643
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: miss this guy, this team, they're going to be playing

644
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: for championships. It can close that quickly. And Mike Trout

645
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,680
Speaker 2: is not part of the national conversation anymore. And it's

646
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: a shame. But I can look at ownership and management.

647
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 2: They didn't help him. We said at the time, if

648
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: you're not keeping Otani, which everybody knew they weren't, then

649
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 2: trade him, get something for him. I would have traded

650
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 2: Mike Trout. We said that five years ago that I

651
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 2: would trade Mike Trout.

652
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 3: Yes.

653
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 2: Is it going to hurt, Yes, But I got to

654
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 2: figure out how to make this team competitive in the

655
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 2: shadow of the Dodgers. And you haven't done a good

656
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 2: job at all. You lost O'tani. Mike Trout has kind

657
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: of mired in mediocrity as far as you know, the

658
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: team goes. You know, they tried with free agent signings,

659
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 2: but yeah, it's on this date in twenty nineteen he

660
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 2: signed that contract, So he's got till twenty thirty one

661
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 2: to get paid. Yeah, Marvin, the.

662
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 7: Three MVPs gets Mike Trout to the Hall of Fame. Correct, Yes, okay,

663
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 7: if he had.

664
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: Two, well he finished top five? What three other times?

665
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 2: Other times? Yeah, may needs he'd be MVP, or he'd

666
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 2: be a first Battle Hall of Famer.

667
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 3: I would think, yeah, Palling.

668
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 6: Trout's first eight years are almost identical to pooh Hols's

669
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 6: first eight years awards stats numbers. But pooh Holes played

670
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 6: in eighty eight postseason games and won two World Series.

671
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 6: Trout played in three total games.

672
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 2: And the Cardinals wisely didn't disrespect Pooholes with a contract offer,

673
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 2: but they wisely got his best years and moved on.

674
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 3: And that's where the Angels go. We'll take him.

675
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 2: And I remember being on the radio and I said,

676
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: if they win a World Series with Pooholes, then you

677
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: could validate all that money. Pooh Holes made one all

678
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: start team. Now you know, Hall of Famer. But the

679
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: Cardinals got ten years, one of the best return on

680
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:02,760
Speaker 2: investments in recent history, and what they got. Let's see

681
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: Patrick in South Dakota. Hi, Patrick, what's on your mind?

682
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 3: Good morning man?

683
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 15: Six foot a svelt one sixty. Well, I just wanted

684
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 15: to make the comments. You know, I know you guys

685
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 15: are gonna be talking about Ty Simpson here coming up.

686
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 15: And I don't think it's any coincidence that Dan Orlovsky

687
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 15: is pushing Ty Simpson as being a better quarterback, seeing

688
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 15: as they both are represented by the AA Sports. You know,

689
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 15: this is another opportunity to also knock on the Raiders.

690
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 15: First it was the offensive line is poor. We get Linderbaum,

691
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 15: they have too many holes. We get all these sinees

692
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 15: and get Max back, you know. So I just this

693
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,240
Speaker 15: is just a funny headline that they're trying to push,

694
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 15: and obviously or Lootsky's pushing it because of their connection

695
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 15: with CAA Sports together.

696
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: It's not obvious, let's be fair. It's a you know,

697
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 2: that's an accusation. Orlotsky's credibility is at stake here. These

698
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, these hot takes don't go away. But Orlovsky,

699
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 2: he's so pro quarterback, and he's always talking great about quarterbacks.

700
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 2: Was I surprised that he said he's better than Mendoza.

701
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 2: So the Raiders are making a mistake in dan Orlovsky's opinion.

702
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: But I don't think I'm going to look at this

703
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 2: and go, well, they're represented by the same firm, and

704
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: therefore he's going to risk his reputation to say something

705
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 2: he doesn't believe it.

706
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: Yes, it is true.

707
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 8: I'm not saying that he is doing that, But I

708
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 8: don't know that he's worried about Is anybody surrounding any

709
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 8: of the drafts? Do they really have to worry about

710
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 8: reputation for what they get right and what they get wrong.

711
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 8: I mean, nobody is really like that. Man, this guy

712
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 8: gets everything right, this guy gets everything wrong. People just

713
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 8: kind of comment.

714
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, But I think it's different when it comes to us.

715
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: This is a standalone Like he's saying that Ty Simpson's

716
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 2: better than Fernando Mendoza.

717
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 3: It's not.

718
00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 2: He's got a bunch of comments or opinions about these

719
00:40:02,520 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: draft picks like this is out of nowhere. And I

720
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 2: think that's the surprising part. And I do think that

721
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: we have a callback. You know, when Chris Simms talked

722
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: about Lamar Jackson, he said, I think he's the best

723
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 2: quarterback in the draft. So we do remember those things.

724
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if Dan Orlofsky cares if we remember.

725
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: And this is a bad take. A lot of people

726
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: like Bryce Young and I kept going, I don't think

727
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: you're seeing the same guy that I'm seeing.

728
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 3: But hey, it gave us. And keep in mind ESPN

729
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 3: has the draft.

730
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: I mean they're trying to pump up a draft that

731
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 2: doesn't sound like it's too enticing. We know Mendoz is

732
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 2: going to the Raiders. The other curiosity is Jeremiah Love.

733
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: Other than that, what are you really interested in? On

734
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 2: that first night? Maybe where ty Simpson goes. Do the

735
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 2: Jets take him? Do the Cardinals take him? Like these

736
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: are the possibility. But we'll play what Orlovsky had to

737
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,799
Speaker 2: say about ty Simpson when we come back, and then

738
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 2: you could judge for yourself.

739
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 3: I mean, he's passionate, truly believes it.

740
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 2: He's not the only guy, by the way, who believes

741
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: in ty Simpson.

742
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 3: One hour of the books. Two more to go.

743
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 2: We'll talk some college basketball with Clark Kellogg. Also Reggie Miller.

744
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: Can Wemby steal the MVP? Two more hours to go

745
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 2: back after this
