25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: You know, he did a nice job in that movie

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: Bad Moms. He was a soccer couch. Yeah, yeah, he was.

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: He was good in a short roll, but small roll,

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: but good. Mario just sent me this. The Baseball Commissioner

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Rob Manfred said on Fox Business that baseball is going

30
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,639
Speaker 1: to see the use of so called robot umpires during

31
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: spring training. It's coming, folks. I don't know when, but

32
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: it's coming to Major League Baseball. It is. Now. You

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: got the NFL and they're toying with the on side

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: kick in the Pro Bowl. You still have to have

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: the onside kick there, you know, just that element, the

36
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: illusion of it. I should say. You know they're doing

37
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: their best to get rid of the kickoff in general,

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: but now they're talking about if you're going to do this,

39
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: and I think this is where you get an additional

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: play from your own twenty five yard line instead of

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: the onside kick. Yes, we love it. Yeah, fourth and fifteen.

42
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: But I don't understand Dan one thing about this. What

43
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 1: if you just get like a legal hands of the

44
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: face or passive appearance, that's going to ruin that play

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: because the fourth and fifteen play there's a good chance

46
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: that someone will interfere. Yeah, I do we need this?

47
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: They're trying to get kickoffs out. I know, but do

48
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 1: we need this? You can still have an onside kick.

49
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a kickoff. What's the percentage of returns

50
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Yeah, point the ONTI kick. Back in

51
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: the day when you could run up the players on

52
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: the ONTI kicking team could run up, it was about

53
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: twelve percent of the time they recovered. Now it's down

54
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: to four percent. Yes. The fact that the governing body

55
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: of football is actively trying to remove as much as

56
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: possible the use of the foot in the game is

57
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: my favorite part. The NFL is bringing the draft to

58
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Okay, I've figured that it's going to be

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: April twenty third through the twenty fifth. It's going to

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: be on the Las Vegas Strip. Now, the NFL did

61
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: a great job. Well, the cities did a great job.

62
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and Nashville did a wonderful job. And now we're

63
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: going to take it to Las Vegas. Now I guess

64
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: there's Caesar's Palace and Bellaggio and the main stage will

65
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: be constructed starting at the beginning of April next to

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: Caesar's and then there's a viewing zone. And then apparently

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: there's going to be water involved in this where the

68
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: draft picks are taken by boat up to the stage

69
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: to the main stage, Porsche to the main stage, Cinnamon

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: to the main stage. They're going to close down the

71
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: strip I believe, I believe during the draft and they're

72
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: going to I don't know what kind of boat they're using.

73
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Have we have we seen? Is it a gondola? Is it? Oh? Yeah? Like?

74
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: What could go wrong? And then I immediately started to

75
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: think which draft pick is most likely to jump in

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: or fall in. Bronk would be the first guy you

77
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: would think of if he was being drafted, but he

78
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: wasn't a first round draft pick, but you know, you

79
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: start to think, you know, one of the Kelsey brothers.

80
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: They would be guys who would go man overboard. Are

81
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: you could be worried about the players showing up for

82
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the draft after spending two or three days in comber Vegas,

83
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: in Vegas at twenty one years old, after you just

84
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: signed a deal with an agent. Do we have any

85
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: more details on this boat? And then and is it

86
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: the Bellagio fountain where they're going to be Yes, the fountains,

87
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: and they have a picture of a boat, but I

88
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: don't think it's just a normal looking boat. I don't

89
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: know if this is the actual boat they're gonna use. Yah.

90
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: See the NFL having their draft on a boat in

91
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: the middle of the desert. It's some water thing. It's

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: like peak. I don't even know what, but it just

93
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: cracks me up. I thought Philadelphia was phenomenal. Philly did

94
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: Philly had felt like a musical fan. I was like Bonnaroo,

95
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: like in terms of a TV show. I thought that

96
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: was so awesome. Yeah. I thought they did a wonderful job.

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: And Nashville was cool too because it was downtown and

98
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: it just looked great. They'd filled it in and had

99
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 1: backdrop to it. And now it's it's Vegas. Shampol just

100
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna say the spearmint Rhino. But whoa bring interaction talent

101
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: for the week? Who whoa spe Rhinos week out? Spear

102
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: ry my people up? There. Did you guys go with me?

103
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: When I went with Jason John beat the Spearmint Rhinoh, okay,

104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: how about this? I'm with and Spearmint Rhino is a

105
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: gentleman's club, and uh, I'm with I'm at Jimby and

106
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: his wife. I don't know if they were married yet,

107
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: but we went to the Spearmint Rhino and I went

108
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: with Verne Troyer as well. Of course, so it's it's me,

109
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Verne Troyer and Jason Jembi and his fiancee or wife.

110
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Did he get to pay half the cover? Oh? Sorry? Oh?

111
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: And uh it was one of those where you kind

112
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: of look around and you go, what am I doing here? Oh? Yeah.

113
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: It took me a little while before I said that,

114
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: but you know, eventually said, I think I gotta go here.

115
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: I think I was out for the SP's. I think

116
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: I was out for the SP's. And I remember Giambi's

117
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: brother Jeremy was also in tow and he had a

118
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: mink coat on and it was in Vegas. He had like,

119
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: I think, a full length mink coat. But I will

120
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: say Verne Troyer was very popular at Spearmint Rhino, very popular,

121
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: very alrighty, as we move on, welcome to the program.

122
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: Check in with the Pelicans. I was doing some research

123
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: on the Pelicans, and I found out some things on

124
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: my Pelicans. They started the season six and twenty two.

125
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: At one point, they lost thirteen games in a row.

126
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: But that was a long time ago. Because the Pelicans

127
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: have won eleven of their last sixteen. They ended Memphis's

128
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: seven game winning streak, they ended Utah's ten game winning streak,

129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and you got some players who were playing really well.

130
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram's planned well, Lonzo Ball planned well, through holiday,

131
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: plan well, and all of a sudden, my Pelicans got

132
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: a chance to make the playoffs. I would think with

133
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: Zion coming back, here is Zion Williamson on making his

134
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: debut tonight. Honestly, I don't know if i'blics leaving, I

135
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: would be so excited thinking of bar my first NBA game.

136
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: All right, he's going to be excited. I don't know

137
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: if he can pace himself, but Alvin Gentry's coach is

138
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: gonna have to hace him as he comes back. And

139
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: the fact that he's coming back, because I wondered, in fact,

140
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller and I both wondered, why would you bring

141
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 1: him back? But they are in the playoff mix here.

142
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: He's going to be a big draw for them, and

143
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: they still lack inside presence and you know, do you

144
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: have enough three point shooters there? But they're they're fun

145
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: team to watch. They are I enjoyed it. Seaton with

146
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: skeptical that I was going to be excited to see

147
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday and Lonzo Ball and and JJ Reddick I said,

148
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: but I am. I wanted to see Lonzo Ball play

149
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: and get out of his shadow, dad shadow. And if

150
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers with Lonzo Ball in the

151
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: last month, I think he's like seventeen seven and seven,

152
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: and he's he's shooting a respectable he might be like

153
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: thirty six percent, thirty seven percent from three point range. Yeah,

154
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: point yeah, Lonzo Ball is he's averaging twelve and seven,

155
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: twelve and six and six, he's averaging thirty minutes a game.

156
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: But the last month he's been playing at a different level.

157
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: He's been he's been playing really well. Yeah, I think

158
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: seventeen seven. I'll take seventeen seven and seven. His free

159
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: throw percentage is up from forty one percent last year,

160
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: worst in the entire League. Yeah to fifty. Okay, he's

161
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: got to get to sixty sixty five if you're going

162
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: to have the ball that much. He's on pace to

163
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: do that in twenty twenty. Okay, I'll wait. You got time. Yeah,

164
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: I got time for my Pelicans. I got zion on

165
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 1: that rookie deal. The other big headline was Kansas State

166
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: in Kansas with that bench clearing brawl, and the question

167
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: is you know what happens? You know who disciplines here?

168
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: This is Kansas said discipline. Does the NC double a discipline?

169
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I was just wondering that I think actually the Big

170
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: twelve would do this. Yeah. NCA violations are like more

171
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 1: technical violations, this type of discipline. If the teams don't

172
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: do it themselves, the Big twelve will jump in. Okay,

173
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: that's what I okay, because I wonder if Bill self

174
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: says I'll do you know, sometimes you do that self imposed,

175
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: but this might be the Big twelve saying no, no,

176
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: we got this one here, we got it, Ben, and

177
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,280

205
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: old enough to remember A forty five. I collected a

206
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: couple of them, but my first album I ever had,

207
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: believe it or not, my mom and dad got me

208
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: The Smothers Brothers for Christmas. I thought that was really

209
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: funny back then, though it wasn't that funny that day

210
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: on Christmas because I wanted some music, and I remember

211
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: they got because they thought that I wanted to be

212
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: a comedian like I wanted to entertain and they said, oh, well,

213
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: she will get him the Smothers Brothers, and I went,

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't send some rock and roll Tom and Dick Smothers.

215
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: And they were funny, but I didn't. I didn't want

216
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: to listen to that. Yeah, mcle did they become like

217
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: sort of political, like real rebels. Yeah, they got in

218
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 1: trouble for being very left wingers. Yeah, like back in

219
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: the late sixties or seventies that they there was a

220
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: political lean to their show. Did you ever have comedy

221
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: albums like Richard pryor Bill Cosby? I Bill Cosby and

223
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: Was that the name of a Bill Cosby album? Or

224
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: it sounds like something David Sedaris with Bill Cosby not himself.

225
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 1: That was a big one in the seventies. Now he's

226
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 1: on like a in a wagon or he's why is

227
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,400

Speaker 1: Get Small when I was eleven years old. Yeah, I

232
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: played that through. He's funny dude. Um, let me see

233
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: what else. Cheas In Chong Chee Chong had a comedy

234
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: album which was had both songs Basketball Jones and a

235
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: lot of stuff about weed and when you're eleven, that

236
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: was wild stuff. Yeah. I remember. Um Dennis Leary, uh

237
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: no cure for cancer in that where he does he

238
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: have the Lou Garrett joke on there too, and he's smoking. Yeah,

239
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: I remember that being a big deal. But you know,

240
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: I say, I had an older brother and I shared

241
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: a room with him for many many years. Yeah, and

242
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: so I kind of my music was his music, you know,

243
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: So whatever he was listening to, that's sort of what

244
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: I had to listen to, just based on the fact

245
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: that we had a room. So all of those kinds

246
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: of things are what I got. I didn't share a

247
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: room with my brother who had all the music, but

248
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: I waited till he left and I went in there

249
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: and I cranked up that that stereo. You know, it

250
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: was a great sound system. Morans do you remember Morands receivers?

251
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,839
Speaker 1: And I just remember I put that thing on that

252
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: blue those blue lights would come on and then I

253
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: would just all of a sudden, I'd go to ten

Speaker 1: one of the ESPN commercials that Kenny Maine and Stuart

298
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: Scott did where we're playing a pickup basketball game and

299

301
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: I always thought that that skit that Peyton did was

315
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: showed a video earlier in the program and it's a

316
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: North Carolina high school. There was a wrestling match and

317
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: the two wrestlers going at it. One wrestler picked up

318
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 1: the other one and slammed him down a body slam,

319
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: and it looked like it could have seriously injured him

320
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: and his neck or upper back. And all of a

321
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: sudden they get back and he gets down on all

322
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: fours and they're ready to start wrestling again, and his

323
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: dad comes out of the stands and blindsides the wrestler

324
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: who slammed his son. Now is dad got arrested? There?

325
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: We were wondering if you're the kid who got slammed

326
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: and that's your dad, do you like that your dad

327
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: has your back there? Or are you embarrassed that dad

328
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: came because you know, his son gets right back down

329
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: on all fours and he's ready to wrestle again. And

330
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: then dad didn't like how his son was treated, and

331
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: he comes out of nowhere and boom nails him. And

332
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: then I would say, both benches clear. It's like the

333
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: stands cleared. Now. There was this back and forth and

334
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 1: dad got arrested. Yeah. Point It was a pretty hard

335
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: slam by the first wrestler, but it wasn't the worst

336
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: of all time. He would have been d Q from

337
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: the match. He I think the ref he saved those

338
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: loss of one point. You know, that's a normal deduction,

339
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the worst slam of all time. He didn't.

340
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: The dad was biserk. Yes, that and this is in

341
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: no way excuses anything that happened. I'm just curious what

342
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: happened up until that point. U. Yeah, well yeah, I

343
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just wondering. I'm trying to find what

344
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: that father's reasoning is. We're going to do that, because

345
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 1: it can't just be that one slam, right, I mean,

346
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: you have to be pretty worked up. It's a bad

347
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: slam though it is, but there's no way that you're

348
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: just watching your kid play and then he gets slamed

349
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 1: like that and you immediately take off to tackle this

350
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: other kid. I mean, like you had. There has to

351
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: be something building up to it. There's no way it's

352
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: just that one incident. And now I'm not saying at

353
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 1: all that that excuses it. I'm just trying to figure

354
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: out what in the hell that guy was thinking. Yeah,

355
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was a rough match. I

356
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: don't know where it was in the match, because I'm

357
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: glad he got arrested. He absolutely should be arrested. In

358
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: charts with everything he should be can be. What's that

359
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: like when you go home when you were the son,

360
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: and you go home and dad's there, and you're trying

361
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: to teach your high school student about self control and

362
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: being responsible. That's what he trust me, son. That's what

363
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I always loved about coaches like Bob Knight. Would you

364
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: know when his players to play with composure, be under

365
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: control and he's the one that loses his bleep? Yeah,

366
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: a poet. What if the dad who hit the kid

367
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,959
Speaker 1: wrestler instead of a jail sentence, are fine, he has

368
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: to wrestle the other father if the other father wants

369
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 1: to settle it that way, no holds barred, you know,

370
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: just just wrestle or get blindside of boom, you know,

371
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: a little eye for an eye. Good entertainment on Tuesday

372
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: night in North Carolina. But what if the guy's dad

373
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: is some little squeak who would never wrestle before. That

374
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: guy looks like he probably wrestled before. I would want

375
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: him to maybe wrestle the kid who body slammed his son.

376
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: That might be the way to go about this. But yeah,

377
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: dad coming out of nowhere, can't imagine. I don't know

378
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: where he was seated, because usually when you run down

379
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: those bleachers, you can hear somebody, it just makes a

380
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: lot of racket like boom boom boom, and you're wonder, man,

381
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: that guy's got to really go to the bathroom. No,

382
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: he's going out on the mat and level this kid.

383
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: Yes him. Yeah, I mean there's no that we've covered

384
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: this before, but there's no doubt that parents are ruining

385
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: kids sports. Yeah, I mean that that's pretty clear. I

386
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 1: remember umpiring Little League and I had I thought it

387
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: would be fun where you're just there and you're watching

388
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: kids play baseball and and then you realize the parents

389
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: are the ones that are a buzzkill because they're the

390
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: ones yelling at you, and then they're cursing at you,

391
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 1: and you got like eight year olds running around, and

392
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: I got, you know, Jimmy Lipper behind he's he's saying

393
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: to me, you're squeezing my son, as if my strike

394
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: zone is too small for an eight year old, and

395
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: I went, hey, yeah. I turned to him and I said, hey,

396
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: you know, get away from the backstuf because you can't

397
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: make me, you know. And I'm thinking, I'm a high

398
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: school kid and I'm going and you're probably right, I

399
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: probably can't, but I wanted to toss him, and then

400
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: I thought maybe I tossed his son for his dad

401
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: being a jerk. You're squeezing my son. God, oh my god. Yeah. See,

402
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: you rarely get parent on child violence though. No, no,

403
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: that that you're right. That seems to me that's another

404
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: level up here where it's the parent going after a child.

405
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:02,399
Speaker 1: Let's see that too often lose. We somehow make this

406
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: smooth segue into Jeff Duncan, columnist for the Athletic New Orleans.

407
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: He's never done anything like that, Jeff, Happy Zion Day.

408
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: How are you going to celebrate? Well, Happy Zion Day?

409
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: To YouTube Dan, I'll be at the arena tonight with

410
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: a lot of other people watching this spectacle. How well,

411
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: you know it's going to be big. It's probably the

412
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: biggest basketball event I think we've had in New Orleans.

413
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: You know, I wasn't around when Pete Merevitch came back

414
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: to play in nineteen seventy four, but I hear from

415
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: a lot of my older colleagues that that was a

416
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: huge event. But at that time, Pete Merevitch was at

417
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: the end of his career kind of he was playing

418
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: it out. This, of course, is a totally different dynamic

419
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 1: with a superstar of Zion's stature come into town at

420
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: the beginning of his career, and you know, we haven't

421
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: seen someone like this in the social media age come

422
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: to New Orleans. The only thing I can compare to

423
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: would be maybe Reggie Bush, who was obviously a huge

424
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: college star in football, but I think Zion even eclipses

425
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: him for star power. What are the expectations for him

426
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: the rest of this season? You know, it's a good question, Dan.

427
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: I think the organization has done a good job of

428
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: trying to temper those expectations on the court, but they're

429
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: doing so feudally. Fans have certainly come out in droves.

430
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen this kind of excitement over a basketball

431
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: player ever in the city, and I think people just

432
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: want to come out. I mean, New Orleans is a

433
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: big event town. It's a it's a party town, as

434
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: we all know, and Pelicans games have, you know, really

435
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: been kind of on the back burner as far as

436
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: the interest level. But people are excited to come out

437
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: and watch him play. So I think people will be

438
00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: satisfied if he's just exciting and bring some enthusiasm to

439
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 1: the Pelicans organization. I don't know if people are going

440
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 1: to expect him to score twenty points a game, and

441
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 1: oh yeah they are, Yeah they are. Yeah, yeah, Well

442
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: I know some will you're no question, Dan, but I

443
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: think people will be happy if he is exciting and

444
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: bring some energy enthusiasm to the organization. When you see

445
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: John Morant playing the way he has played in Memphis,

446
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: do you think that there's any and maybe not Buyer's remorse,

447
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: but maybe second thoughts about Zion as we move forward

448
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: with this surgery and you know, you know that size

449
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: doing what he's going to do. He's a power player. No,

450
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't. Everyone here, I think is over the moon

451
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: about Zion Williamson. I mean, I think they feel like

452
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: the basketball gods shined on them again with the odds

453
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: that were against them, and I think, look, the organization

454
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: is doing everything they can to try and make this

455
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: thing right. I know there's been a lot of publicity

456
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: with you know, how they're working with him with his

457
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: strength and conditioning. I think they feel, like Dan, they've

458
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: got a unicorn here, a physical unicorn, and they're trying

459
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: to get a grasp on how to go forward with

460
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: him and in his unique physical ability. So in some respects,

461
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: I feel like they might be overthinking and let him

462
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: get out there and play. But certainly it's the anticipation

463
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: in an excitement over him on accord his built. Now

464
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,199
Speaker 1: it's been thirteen weeks waiting for the debut. When I

465
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: first saw him, a couple of things stood out. He's

466
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: wider than I thought, but he is shorter than I thought.

467
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: He's six six. But I wonder about this Pelicans, you know,

468
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 1: sort of the way it's built. I love what they

469
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: did in the off season. I love the trade that

470
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: they got if you weren't keeping Anthony Davis. I love

471
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 1: getting Lonzhill ball away from his dad. Brandon Ingram is,

472
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe gonna average twenty five a game. You

473
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: got Reddick in there, and you got Holiday in there.

474
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what Zion adds to the lineup. I

475
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: know Starpower now cleticism. But is that enough for them

476
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: to be the eighth seed in the West in your opinion? Yeah,

477
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: I think so. I think it's wide open. Now what

478
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: does that get you? A first round elimination against probably

479
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: the Lakers, maybe a sweep. But for this organization at

480
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: this time, as as they are in their rebuilding plan,

481
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: I think getting that experience with the young roster would

482
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 1: be beneficial, and I think that's what they're shooting for.

483
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: But the NBA can sell hope, right Dan, I mean,

484
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: you get eight, you know, you have an eighth seed,

485
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: and everyone's alive. I think it's funny. I walk around

486
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: town now and everyone's like, well, the Pelicans are only

487
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 1: three games out, and I remind them they're also only

488
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: a game and a half out of the basement in

489
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: the league. Nolan looks that way, right, They all look up,

490
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: You're a bug killer, Jeff, Come on, Duncan Downer. He's

491
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Duncan Downer, columnist for The Athletic in New Orleans.

492
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: Got any Saints drama that you want to update us on. Well,

493
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: we don't know if Drewes is coming back, Dan, I

494
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: think that's pretty big news. But I fully expect him

495
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,439
Speaker 1: to come back. I was talking to Actually Breeze for

496
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: an interview last week, and he didn't sound like a

497
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: guy that's ready to hang it up. You know, he's

498
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: wired differently than I think a lot of a lot

499
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 1: of normal people like us are. He's wired to compete.

500
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: That's what he does, just like Tom Brady. I think

501
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: these guys as long as they're playing at an elite level,

502
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: and Drew certainly was this season. He was playing as

503
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: well as I've ever seen him. At the end of

504
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: the year, I think he's going to continue on. I

505
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: think he looks at this roster Dan and says, hey,

506
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: look we got Mike Thomas, Alvin Kamara, players star players

507
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: in their primes, and yeah, we came up short in

508
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs when we were thirteen and three. We could

509
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: make another run at this thing. And I think he

510
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: thinks about legacy in his place in the history of

511
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: the game, and I think winning another Super Bowl would

512
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: be a big part of that. He wants to come

513
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: back and give it another run. Well, it's one thing

514
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: that he wants to come back, and the Saints won

515
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: him as opposed to Brady, who may want to come back,

516
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: but they don't. It doesn't feel like they want him back,

517
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: or at least his coach doesn't. Yeah, I think no

518
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: one in the organization wants anything more than Drew Brees

519
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: leading them. I mean, he's such a powerful force in

520
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: the organization. Everyone in the club is in awe of

521
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: Drew Brees and the whole offense, the whole team is

522
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: built around him. I think it's much different than a

523
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of other situations. You know, if they if they,

524
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: if and when Drew Brees finally hangs it up, it's

525
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: going to be a major overhaul, not just on the

526
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: field but off the field. With everything that he does

527
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: for the organization. He's basically the face of the franchise.

528
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: He's a senator in this city. It's going to be

529
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: a big drop off. Even if it is Taysom Hill

530
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: or Teddy Bridgewater. Well, that was my next question, my

531
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: last one. Who do you think is the air apparent

532
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater or Taysom Hill. I really believe it's Taysom Hill.

533
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean Sean Payton is in love with Taysom Hill.

534
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: I mean he has a man crush on him, Dan,

535
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: and I think everyone in town does, to be honest

536
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: with you, he's such a unique player. And he said

537
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: before John Payton has said the air Apparent is in

538
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: the building, and he meaned Taysom Hill. I think he's

539
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 1: intrigued by the challenge of building an offense around a

540
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: different kind of quarterback, very similar to you know, he's

541
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: compared him to Steve Young. Steve Young got his really

542
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: start in his career with the forty nine ers and

543
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 1: blossom late in his career, much like Taysom Hill is

544
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: thirty and I think he sees very a lot of

545
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: similarities between that. Going from Joe Montana to Steve Young,

546
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: it would be very similar transition from Breeze to Taysom Hill. Jeff,

547
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: have fun tonight. We appreciate your time as always. Thanks

548
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: for joining us, Sure, Dan, thanks for having me on.

549
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: Thank you. Jeff Duncan, calumnist for the Athletic New Orleans.

550
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: We knew him when he was at the Times. Picky you.

551
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: He's been down there a long time. I understand the

552
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: hype and if you're a New Orleans fan, I know

553
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's a football crazy town. It'll always be

554
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: a football town. But the Pelicans, you know, getting Zion.

555
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: We got something there. I don't know what else you

556
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: need to add, but they do have and Ingram. Ingram

557
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: has a chance to average. He's averaging I think twenty

558
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: five a game right now, like quietly averaging twenty five

559
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 1: a game. Kyrie Irving and Grant Hill are the only

560
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: Duke players to finish an nbac's and averaging at least

561
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: twenty five points. Brandon Ingram has a chance to do

562
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: that as well. Kyrie has done it a few times,

563
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: and Grant did it once. Elton Brand almost did. But

564
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: brandon Ingram average in right at twenty five and a

565
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: half points a game. And Reggie Millner brought up something

566
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: that I had not considered and I had not heard.

567
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: I said, why didn't Ingram last in LA? Why I

568
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: didn't need blossom in LA? And he said, he's a

569
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: small market guy. They're just certain guys that are wired

570
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: that way to be a small market guy. They liked

571
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: that field. That's why I thought Kevin Durant was going

572
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: to be a small market guy. And it felt like

573
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: he found a Homo Okloma city. You know, Reggie played

574
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: in Indiana. He went from LA and us LA to Indiana,

575
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: but became that small market guy. And just certain players

576
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: that just feel like they were meant for some of

577
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: these these cities. And you certainly get that with Brandon

578
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: Ingram and Lonzo Ball. You know that just there was

579
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: too much pressure on And there's certain players when they

580
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: come in when you get a label and we're finding

581
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: this like markul Foltz, he just couldn't stay in Philadelphia.

582
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: It just wasn't going to work out. There was too

583
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: much pressure, too many eyeballs, and just getting out to

584
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: go to Orlando. And then you're not being followed constantly

585
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: by the media, You're not being reported on, they're not

586
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: sneaking video of you and trying to improve your jump shot.

587
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: And Lonzo just needed to get away from his dad

588
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: a little bit and look his dad. By all accounts,

589
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: who's raising good basketball players? Yeah, LaMelo's probably gonna be,

590
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, one of the top five picks. Lo Angelo

591
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: was a good shooter. He wasn't a great player. And

592
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: LaMelo Ball or you know, LaMelo No, who am I

593
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: Lonso Lonzo is a good player. It's just why go

594
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: back to if your dad such a great coach, why

595
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,959
Speaker 1: can't he teach you to shoot? Because if he had

596
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: a shot with that ability, he plays defense, he rebounds,

597
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: He's got that ability that God give an ability to

598
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: find the open man. But if he starts, if he

599
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: keeps improving that jump shot, Lonzo Ball will be an

600
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: All Star. I truly believe that. Yeah, somebody said about

601
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: the Lakers the other day. I was listened to a

602
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: couple of sports radio guys. They're like, why are the

603
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: Lakers more upset about getting blown out by the Celtics.

604
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: And don't you think that it's cool right now that

605
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: the Lakers in a position where they're leading the West,

606
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: that they lose the regular season game and everyone doesn't

607
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: freak out and starts talking about firing people and trading

608
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: everybody and dumping everybody like last year when they blew

609
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,239
Speaker 1: out the whole roster and got new coaches and all

610
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: this stuff. Now like, okay, relax, but I can't imagine

611
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: that pressure that those kids were under with Lebron coming

612
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: in there, and then you knew that he wanted to

613
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 1: have a fire sale to get it Anthony Davis, so

614
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: you knew this, and you still have to play with Lebron,

615
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: and Lebron's not playing at a high level and certainly

616
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: not playing well on defense. And then Lebron probably said, well,

617
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: I got rid of all these guys AD's coming in now,

618
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: I got to get back in shape where I once was,

619
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: and I got to play defense, and they become a

620
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: very good defensive team. And Dwight Howard has done a

621
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: wonderful job there too, and JaVale McGee. You know, I

622
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: got AD, I got Dwight and McGee And you know

623
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: that's pretty good rim protectors there. It's not a finished

624
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: product there. And the more I watched the Clippers last night,

625
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: if everybody's healthy and you add that Clippers bench, I

626
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: like the Clippers to be the best team in the

627
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: NBA right now. Lakers are fun to watch and everybody

628
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: loves to talk about them in Los Angeles, but the Clipper.

629
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: But they got the best bench in the NBA right now. Denver,

630
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: I think has been sneaky great because people don't look

631
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: at them as the number one team in the West.

632
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: But Denver is back to where they are where they

633
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,359
Speaker 1: were last year. Himpole. Lebron's up to eleven assists a game,

634
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 1: leading the NBA. He's never had more than nine assists

635
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: a game for an average for a season in his career. Yeah,

636
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be like come

637
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: playoff time or later in the year. Is he going

638
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: to defer to Anthony Davis? Is Anthony Davis going to

639
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: stay healthy? Because I know I get criticism in Wisconsin

640
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: when I say this. Anthony Davis was to the Greek

641
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: freak before the Greek freak. In my opinion, both ends

642
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: of the floor, could shoot, could handle. Greek Freak has

643
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: surpassed him. It feels like he's more explosive, healthier. But

644
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, Anthony Davis was a freak out there from

645
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: the standpoint of a guy that tall who had a

646
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: handle and then improved his jump shot. And that's what

647
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: the Greek Freak has done. And now it's impossible to

648
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: guard him. All right, we'll take a break, close up shop,

649
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: but we learned what's the store tomorrow that's coming up

650
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: next year on The Dan Patrick's Show. When it comes

651
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: to comfort down below, there's underwear and there's Tommy John,

00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: including me. To put it shimply, Tommy John doesn't give

654
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: an F. They give three f's fabric, fit and function.

655
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,279
Speaker 1: See what they did there. Tommy John obsesses over every

656
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: little detail and stitch by using proprietary fabrics that perform

657

679
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: now back to the show. Some zion prop bets to

680
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: go over here, trying to think the fewest games a

681
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 1: rookie has played and was still the Rookie of the

682
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: Year Because Zion, no rookie has ever won the award

683
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: with fewer than fifty games played. The most that Zion

684
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: can play is thirty. Again, not that this matters, but

685
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Ewing, Patrick Ewing won the Rookie of the Year

686
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: and he played fifty games. Bench Carter played fifty. I

687
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: think those are bench carters. Was a strike shortened season,

688
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: and Kyrie played fifty one. That was a strike shortened

689
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: season as well. Yes, Paul yeah, Patrick Herring, he was

690
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: twenty two years old. He was twenty nine and two

691
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: blocks since the first year with the next fifty games? Patrick,

692
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 1: you doing? Yeah? So he played fifty? All right? And

693
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: here's Zion prop eds for tonight. I just want to

694
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: know over under points? Do I have points in here? Paulie,

695
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 1: I got Dunk's first field goal. Total rebounds, oh, total

696
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: over under nine for Zion. Total minutes is fifteen and

697
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: a half. That seems low. Did they say something about

698
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: liminium to fifteen? I feel like that number. Have we

699
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: heard that number? Yeah? Reggie said that, Well I would

700
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: I just want him to get a taste out there,

701
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 1: because what can happen is you get called up in

702
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: the excitement of Zion out there, and if he's playing

703
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: well and the team's playing well, and the fans are excited,

704
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 1: they've been waiting for this, and then you bring him out,

705
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna get booed. Alvin Gentr will get booed when

706
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: he brings out he takes out Zion Williamson over under

707
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: nine and a half. Well, four dunks would be eight

708
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: if I do my math right. If he gets fouled

709
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 1: on any of those dunks, I'm gonna go under Peter No.

710
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: I hope he gets twenty. When I say this to

711
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: Pelican fans that are like, how can you say? Maybe

712
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: that comparison? If he gives you Julius Randall numbers, you

713
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: should be thrilled coming back from the injury. If you

714
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: said he's gonna have the numbers Julius Randall gave you

715
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: last year, which was what twenty and eleven, you'll take

716
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: that because I don't know what you expect. You're gonna

717
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 1: get highlights out of Zion. I don't know. You're not

718
00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: gonna get Blake Griffin numbers. And you probably. I think

719
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: Zion is gonna be far greater than Blake Griffin. I mean,

720
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he'll be healthier down the road than

721
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: Blake Griffin. But Blake Griffin put up some monster numbers. Yeah. Point.

722
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: John Morant's up to thirty seven starts this year, eighteen

723
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: points seven assists a game. He's the real deal, you know.

724
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: That's that's there's no doubt about it. He's he's a

725
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: franchise player. He is. When he jumps like Zion dunks

726
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: with power, John Morant goes up, it takes a little

727
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: while for him to come back down. And he's not

728
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,399
Speaker 1: afraid to go in on anybody. Yes, mclen you look,

729
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: I think I'm higher on Zion than than you guys.

730
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: I expect, I do expect more than Blake Griff. I

731
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: think he's one of the most unique guys come in

732
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: since Lebron. Do you think look at break Blake Griffin's numbers. Yeah,

733
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a Blake. Do you think he's gonna

734
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: be putting up Blake Griffin numbers in his career? Do

735
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: you think he's gonna do what? What did Blake put up? Blake? Look,

736
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: Blake's first year in the league. He didn't play because

737
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 1: of a knee injury. Very similar, he didn't play a minute.

738
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: And then his first year at age twenty one, he

739
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: was at twenty two and twelve. You'll take vent. Yeah,

740
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: you could put up that. I mean Blake had became

741
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: an assist three point guy. I mean he's hurt. He's

742
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: got for the year. Now what does he what did

743
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: he have? Did he get to twenty five twenty sixty game?

744
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 1: His best year was he's about twenty four years old.

745
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,960
Speaker 1: He ever was twenty four points, ten rebounds a game. Yeah,

746
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: then he started becoming an outside shooter. But Pelicans run

747
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: a high volume offense. I think Zion will get get

748
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: pretty good numbers once he's healthy. But you got ingram

749
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: in there, Yeah, I have to share it. Yeah, they

750
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 1: still got a ton of They got a ton of

751
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 1: shots up. So I think all those guys have big numbers.

752
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: And I hope he's successful. You can't help it like him.

753
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: I just think that people have to temper their their

754
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: expectations with him. And how do you think he fits

755
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 1: today's game? I was I was thinking he might have

756
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 1: had more success twenty years ago too. Yes, I wonder,

757
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: you know, let me see what that shot looks like.

758
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: It's a it's a nice shot. Is it going to

759
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 1: be a knockdown shot? He is he going to be

760
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: that fifteen to eighteen footer. Now it feels like everybody

761
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 1: wants to shoot the three. I love that he gets

762
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: as excited as more excited when a teammate scorers than

763
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: when he does. He truly enjoyed his teammates doing well

764
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: at Duke. And he's a good passer. But he's six six,

765
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: that was what's surprising. But he's he's a lot wider

Speaker 1: as promised. Here's a clip from the Big podcast with Shack.

790
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,359
Speaker 1: I've never seen it this early though, That's what I'm saying.

791
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: That's a difference like the first couple of years. So

792
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: it's there's two takes on that. One. You think you're

793
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: so good and you do let guys sit out. You

794
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: don't care about your position in the playoffs. You're gonna

795
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: win no matter what. It's a it's a really tough gamble.

796
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: It's really tough me how I've I did it, So

797
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: I'm not going to criticize him another especially when I

798
00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: got hold him and guy said take especially a matter

799
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,960
Speaker 1: of fact, when Phil got there. Phil would look at

800
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,640
Speaker 1: the standings and I don't know how he did it.

801
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: He kept us away from Utah and he kept us

802
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: away from I want to say, the rockets all time.

803
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: He just kept us away. So he would come and say,

804
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: I take these two games off and I'll be let

805
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: do it. He'd be like, but you need to ride

806
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: the bike like he would just know. And you know,

807
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: his thing was we needed some type of home court advantage,

808
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: preferably the number one spot. But it's been going on

809
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 1: for years, so you know, it's a gamble. I feel

810
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: I feel for the fans when you pay your money

811
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: to see a certain guy play that he doesn't play.

812
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 1: I do feel for that. But this is chess, not checkers.

813
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: You want a championship or you want a guy to

814
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 1: to come play a game and possibly get hurt. I

815
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: know it's not something you people to think about, but

816
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: he can't happen. I can't knock it because I've done it.

817
00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: I just I just noticed a gamble, and I feel

818
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: both sides.
