Speaker 1: Nicks Greetings, Welcome inside, Happy Thursday, The Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: with my best friend Mike Harmon, where the NBA is back.

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: It's back. They were off twenty seven days in a row,

12
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: where we watch teams just tank throughout the All Star Break.

13
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: Everybody's tanking. The Knicks are now officially tanking. I think

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: that's what's happening. Then that's why this night is going

15
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: the way it is. The Knicks are tanking. They are

16
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: tanking against the Pistons in the marquet game of the night.

17
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: It's a bold strategy, Cotton, to go from the upper

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: tier of a conference to say, you know what, we

19
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: love all of these freshmen that are coming in as

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: many as ten right off the jump in this year's draft.

21
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: We have no title aspirations. We're done. Let's see if

22
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,320
Speaker 1: we can chase all the way to eleventh. Yeah, I

23
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: don't think there's enough games to get you to eleventh. No,

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: i'd not enough games there. No, the other other teams

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: in the East are much better at this sucking thing.

26
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: That's as many as you can There's not enough. Yeah. Look,

27
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: big night, NBA has restarted, and the big game top

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: two teams in the Eastern Conference in Madison Square Garden,

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: it has been all Pistons. Kate Cunningham's got forty Pistons

30
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: lead the Knicks one to eighteen to one hundred Karl

31
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns with a two point first half. Things started

32
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: off poorly for the Knicks. They didn't get any better.

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: And you look to be quite honest about this right

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: where now we're getting set the last twenty eight games.

35
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: At this point, Nixon Pistons, I throw up my hands

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: and I just say, you know what, They're just a

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: bad matchup for the Knicks, and I don't know there's

38
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: anything they can do about it. Like the Pistons are

39
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: this year's pacers to the Knicks, young hungry team. They

40
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: see the Knicks's arrival and the team they have to

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: get pass to get to the finals. They have finals dreams.

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: And you can just see the way the Pistons play

43
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: the Knicks. That's how they think. They're pissed they got

44
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: knocked out by them in the playoffs a year ago.

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: They know this year is different. They're younger, they're better,

46
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: they're deeper at this point, quite honestly. And this is

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: how good I think the Pistons are. Is that I

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: just hope that, you know what, tonight, they're gonna lose

49
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: by twenty at home. It's one of those things. I'll

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: just say, you know what, if we see them in

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, in the Eastern Conference finals, I'll deal with

52
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: it then, like, Okay, a lot of other stuff to

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: worry about.

54
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 3: For it.

55
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: There's not a lot I can do about this right now.

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Let's just see how things go. We'll get later on

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: and if we see the Pistons, because it would most

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: likely be not till the second round or the conference finals,

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: depending you know, because the Fistans will win the East

60
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: and depending on who finish the second between the Knicks

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: and the Celtics, Okay, probably we'll see them in the

62
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference finals. And I'm like I'll worry about that.

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: Then that is a problem I will absolutely push to

64
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: another day. Yeah, I mean the big thing is that

65
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: between now and then, you just have to learn how

66
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: to shoot three point shots. They're winning the points in

67
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: the paint, but at one point, I believe they were

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: two for twenty from three point range. And this is

69
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: where you know, you get suckered in because it was

70
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: a four point game at that point, like they couldn't

71
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: hit the broad side of a bar. And yet there

72
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: they are hanging around and eventually spurt ability once again

73
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: for the Pistons. And that's one of the larger things

74
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: when you get to the playoffs, right, you slow the

75
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: game down, should favor the Nixon that regard, right, if

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: you can go and make it the half court game,

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: so these guys don't have to try to chase. Problem

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: is the Pistons can hit the turbo yeah button on

79
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: you and get you to go into a game you

80
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: don't want to play. And so over the course of

81
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: a series, you're gonna have some tired legs by game four.

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you for all this this is

83
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: a transition year in the Eastern Conference, right, this is it,

84
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Like we talk about all the Knicks. Hey, it's kind

85
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: of new. They're contenders, X, Y and Z. No, this

86
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: is the year the Knicks window closes with this group

87
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: if they don't get to the finals this year. This

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: window's been opened for They opened it three years ago,

89
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: all right, and they lost in the Plans. They lost

90
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: in the second round, really tight second round. Okay, they

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: lost last year. The window was wide open, right, the window,

92
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: the windows wide open. They couldn't get through it, couldn't

93
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: get past. The Pacers could blue the lead against them

94
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: and gain one of the Eastern Conference finals. Never got back.

95
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Now it's the end of the window, and everybody's got

96
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 1: their hands on the top of the sill ready to

97
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: shut it, because you see the transition year. The new

98
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: powers are coming to the Eastern Conference.

99
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 3: Right.

100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: The Pistons are here, the Celtics are figuring out, Hey,

101
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: we are normally a championship team. How do we segue

102
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: away from Jason Tatum and Jalen Brown. We've done that.

103
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: You see. The new teams are starting to rise, and

104
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: so this is it. This is it for the Knicks,

105
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: And if they don't get there this year, then suddenly

106
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason it's We're going to fight the Lakers

107
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: tooth and nail for that Yannis trade like that. People

108
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: think all the Knicks are f they're new, the less couple.

109
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: They've had this window open now for three years and

110
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: it is almost shot. I mean it is hands on

111
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: the sill going you don't get through now, I am

112
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: shutting this thing on you because that's just gonna happen.

113
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: So to make you feel slightly better, it's it's a

114
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: matter of, you know, expectations. Because you're talking title. How

115
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 1: about you get into the round that you can play

116
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: for the title. That's that's the goal. And in the

117
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, you still don't have a lot of heavyweights, right.

118
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: You're chasing right now second third place. Boston getting better,

119
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: whether Tatum comes back or not. But you look at

120
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: all right Pistons, Well, we'll just stipulate that they're the

121
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: number one squad beyond that Cleveland, they've got Worts, Toronto, Philly.

122
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Who's playing on a given night it's Maxie and who

123
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: Edgecombe has big nights? Doctors disappeared pretty good, Daryl Dawkins,

124
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: Joel emb does he gonna be ready for April? Maybe? Maybe?

125
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 4: No?

126
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Absolute cheeks, Yeah, yeah, well, and then four Malone is

127
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: out as gay and you're done. Yeah yeah, Matumbo, Yeah

128
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: you can still play some d I mean you got

129
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: a lot of that, sure, But I mean if you

130
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: look at the rest of the conference, I mean, Milwaukee's

131
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: neces suddenly gonna rise up. No, right, I mean you

132
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: know the Bulls are the bulls. Yeah, they can't get

133
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: out of their own way and just go on down

134
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: the line. You got a bunch of good, not great teams,

135
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: so right, window necessarily shuts, you know, in terms of

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: a title because you're not beating any of those teams

137
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: in the West City. But that's why this is a

138
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: year where I'm like, Okay, they got to get through

139
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: because next year, these teams that are good but don't

140
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: quite have it together are going to be a lot better.

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: Look at Torontod's ten games over five hundred, Like Philadelphia

142
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: is going to figure out their embiad situation and move

143
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: on from him next Nobody. Nobody's taking him away to

144
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: be Maxie and edgecomb driven, right, unless they can just

145
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: deactivate him like Keyshawn Johnson all those years ago. Cleveland

146
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: is still really young and they are deep as well.

147
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: They're they're kind of just like the Pistons. So these teams,

148
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: even though this year is kind of a hey we

149
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: think we're building, next year is hey we get to

150
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 1: that window open. That's why this is this window, this

151
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: is this is the year. This is it for the Knicks.

152
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Like this is it? Man, I was trying to be

153
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: positive about your Nicks. But remember if Cleveland's going to

154
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: take on Lebron, that means one fewer defender on the

Speaker 1: this is pure Americana. We won. Everybody else didn't. This

208
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: is the play of the day. Scatted against fresh standers.

209
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: Out of the eye. Oh, Albert passed for Keller, a

210
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: defenseman to school cuts to the.

211
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: Mean.

212
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: Keller, the overtime hero the United States. Rich Oh, what

213
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: a huge call right there, Kenny Albert with the call

214
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: on NBC. Meghan Keller in overtime beats Canada to win

215
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 1: the gold medal for the United States. I'm getting goosebumps now,

216
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: just thinking back to that goal. First of all, play

217
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: the Kenny Albert phenomenal call, right is a phenomenal call,

218
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: like Kenny Albert's call, Like that's up there with the

219
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: best of Doc Emrick or Mike Lang or Gary Thorn.

220
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: Gary Thorne used to be to be the best at

221
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: building up and building up a shot that was gonna

222
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: go in, like Gary Thorne's Gretzky. He did it like

223
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: he knew how to build it up. When when as

224
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: long as he you tell the goal is coming and

225
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: you you watch Megan Keller. First of all, the pass

226
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: by Taylor Heise is phenomenal and no one's talking about

227
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: that enough. Three on three and overtime, an outlet pass

228
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: and that was just that was reaction, that was instinct

229
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: and that was I know where to put this where

230
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: she's gonna get it, and that pass was fantastic. And

231
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: to come in and a defenseman to put that move

232
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: that dipsy doodle, move the puck over and then get

233
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: the goalie moving and for it again, to find that

234
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: sweet spot between the goalies stick arm and her side, right,

235
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: because I and I saw that, and I said, that's

236
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: the one after my own heart, because you know, I

237
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: scored a lot of goals in hockey. I scored tons

238
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: of goals. I scored a lot of my goals between

239
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: the goalies stick arm and his side. Because when I

240
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: could get the goalie moving, that's open, right. People though,

241
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: oh you gotta shoot down here. No, that was a

242
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: great sweet spot. And she just puts the backhand there

243
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: and she couldn't close on it enough. And it was

244
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: absolutely insane seeing that moment. Didn't think it was gonna happen.

245
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: Canada played terrific most of the game. They get the

246
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: goal from Hillary Knight that ties in the final two

247
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: minutes of regulation, just an unbelievable moment. That was a

248
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: goal scorers goal right there by Keller, an absolute goal

249
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: scorers goal. Well, whenever you get the let's pull the

250
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: pull the goalie, get the extra skater. How many Olympics

251
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: have you played in?

252
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 5: Many?

253
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 1: And you get the game, you know, you get the equalizer, uh,

254
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: and then we get this end. I still hate the

255
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: three on three you hater. I drink that hater, right,

256
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: especially for a gold medal. You win to go home.

257
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: That's it.

258
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 6: That was What do you want five goals? What do

259
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 6: you want depth? With a full squad on the ice?

260
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 6: It's three on pan, it's three play seven on seven

261
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 6: in overtime in the playoffs in the National Football League.

262
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: Okay, no, well, okay, well maybe that's something they should do.

263
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: You play seven Dare you say no, you don't get

264
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: eight man football? That's okay, we gotta have that going on.

265
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: That's that's one. One guy's the quarterback for both teams.

266
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: Like you're on the sandlines. It does. It does look

267
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: like a scrimmage or a club game. But it's so

268
00:12:55,559 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: blanking exciting. I can't I can't get always down to you, reccle.

269
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: Every single shift could be a goal, every single time

270
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: someone carries the puck into the zone. Like I thought

271
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: that this game is going to be done in two minutes, right,

272
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: The way overtime, it's gonna be done. It was done

273
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: in three minutes, but that's how. That's how you know

274
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be done early. You know somebody's gonna win.

275
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: The excitement level of three on three is just insane.

276
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: I can't believe you don't like it. There was a look.

277
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: It's exciting, but it comes back to the I like

278
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: things decided by the way the rest of the game

279
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: is played. Let's change the rules, okay, Abe Simpson. I

280
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: like it back when I was younger, when met luck

281
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: was on time. I'll take the W USA USA. There's

282
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: some other thoughts on the broadcast itself that we'll get

283
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: to because I think we both shared shared that moment.

284
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,839
Speaker 1: Was there so much crime in cabin Cove with Angela Lansbury?

285
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: It's true, it's true. It's a question that never got answered.

286
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: I think she was only questioned once. Don Knuts was

287
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: a good police officer and may Berry he never got

288
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: the credit he deserved. He showed up for work every day.

289
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: Fred McMurray was a phenomenal father. I don't know why

290
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: his three kids kept getting in all that trouble. Well,

291
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: trouble is relative. I don't think they were ever putting

292
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: a court of law? How did Ricky allow Lucy enoughl

293
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 1: to hang out so much? All they did was caused problems.

294
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: She was a menace. She was a menace, There's no

295
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: question about it. But without them, we don't have a

296
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: lot of the TV shows for back in the day

297
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: because they recorded on film, so it survived unlike the contemporaries.

298
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: What do you got, Frostburg speaking from experience, Yes, let

299
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: me tell you guys, there's really nothing like an American

300
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: team beating a Canadian team to win a championship. It is, yes,

301
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: because you know what I'm trying to think, when's the

302
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: last time I'm trying it? Yeah, it would be Dodgers.

303
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, Jays. Yeah, when kinda falafo is too

304
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: close to third base? Yeah, but that feels yeah yeah yeah,

305
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: but they got to be sick of that in Canada. Now,

306
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: they got to be sick of that. Yeah. I mean,

307
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: just just really quick on kat, think about this. They

308
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: played as coming in as an underdogs, as USA and

309
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Canada the two best teams in the world in women's hockey,

310
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: and Canada clearly is the number two teams. The United

311
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: States at this point United States has become the big

312
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: bully on the block, right. They beat them seven times

313
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: in a row. Canada, coming in as an underdog, put

314
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: out a perfect game plan for fifty eight minutes. They

315
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: out coached and outplayed the United States. Clearly. It was

316
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna get in the way of your passing and

317
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: shooting lanes. We're gonna block shots. They blocked what seventeen

318
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: shots and the United States could do nothing. It was

319
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: a perfect game plan for fifty eight minutes and they

320
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: left with a silver medal. I mean, just they every

321
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: they could for fifty eight minutes and they left with

322
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: a silver medal. Pretty crazy, right, Three to one, three

323
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: to one they were gonna pay off. Couldn't finish the job.

355
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: Samson from the Twenty Eight Days Later movies. Just rip

356
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: you right out of there and hold your head up there.

357
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert. Yeah, I didn't know there was a guy

358
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: named Samson. Well I did the big guy with the

359
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: hair Samson. Yayday Samson. Yeah. Uh it's a little too

360
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: on the nose, isn't it. I got I gotta say,

361
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: shouldn't they have done something else with this character than

362
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: to have him have long hair? How about? Well that's

363
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 1: why they call him Samson. It's soft. But what are

364
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: you gonna do? What are we gonna call him hippy?

365
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: All right? No, that's that doesn't work. That'd be funnier. Uh.

366
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: You know, Alyssa lou wins gold medal for the United

367
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: States today figure skate and you know she skates to

368
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: MacArthur Park so and I was so excited about it.

369
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's any sport that just makes

370
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: you cry more than figure skating. It made you cry.

371
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, I love the fact that we

372
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: still got these old songs where it's like Matthew Morrits

373
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: and running the class on glee. Hey didn't it's from

374
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: forty five years ago. I don't care. I really like,

375
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: like like watching the long program for the women, and

376
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: luckily the game ended with Canada, we were able to

377
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: go back and forth and see some of it, but

378
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: then got most of the long program. Like when when

379
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: when Amber Glenn skates and she hits all the jumps,

380
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: she has such an incredible routine and she gives the

381
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: big yes, like I was like almost tearing up. I

382
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,639
Speaker 1: was so happy for her because if she had just

383
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: made that one jump in her short routine, she probably

384
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: would have won the silver medal. Like I was so

385
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: so excited for her, you know, with all these athletes

386
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 1: to come down to three minutes every every four years,

387
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: and that was emotional, And then watching a Lissa Loose

388
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 1: skate was emotional. And then afterwards when she wins and

389
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: Scott Hamilton is crying and he's talking about it. Nobody

390
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,479
Speaker 1: can talk about figure skating without crying. I'm like, now

391
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm crying. I don't think anything makes you could have

392
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: no dog in the fight. I don't care who wins.

393
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: You could have bet on on somebody from Japan, from

394
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Italy done. But you watch figure skating and you cry.

395
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: Makes you cry. No sport does that. Not even the

396
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: Jets or the Mets make me cry like this, like, oh,

397
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's figure skating. And I don't really

398
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: follow any of these people, but oh my goodness, Alyssa

399
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: loose stories. Shequshed you on the gold medal, she quit,

400
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: she came back, and then you had Amber Glenn, you know, missing,

401
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: and she was crying and I was crying. And everybod's

402
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: kind of figure skating is made to make you cry.

403
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: Good for you getting in touch with those emotions. I

404
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: was like Seinfeld, I had like aate a sandwich. Oh wow,

405
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: Like I was excited about the hockey flip back over.

406
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: It's like, all right, cool, you wes A, you Wesa.

407
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Her backstory is fantastic. Just a robot. You're a robot

408
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: in Mike Hart, I'm in a No, I'm Rocky in

409
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: your drago. That's what I got. Emotions, I'm flowing. All

410
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: of my kids mocked me all the time. Soft as hell.

411
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: When it comes to movies, you hated it. You hated

412
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: the three on three, and you made a sandwich during

413
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: figure skating. Oh yeah, you're You're made of steel. You

414
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: will lose. Well, put your hands up, jump, it's time

415
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: to go to school. You will lose. That's you see

416
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: that little easter egg in the mandalori yea yeah, yeah,

417
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: little lies he dies. Well, you got this figure skating.

418
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: But the story of lou and I was like started

419
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: reading reading up and going through some of some of

420
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: the history is the getting back on the ice, the

421
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: fact that had to convince the coach over uh, he

422
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: finished a full bottle of wine before he agreed to

423
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: come back, Like you want to come back for retirements,

424
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm younger than them, I could still do this.

425
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's go and and here we have it,

426
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: Olympic glory that we haven't seen in twenty years. A

427
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: right that, like that's the thing you triple underscore, you've

428
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: watched dominance other nations and for the US to get

429
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: back a big piece here, huge for the sport. And

430
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: you know, obviously we're dominating in a number of the

431
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: sports where we're used to it, and certainly on the

432
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: hockey side of things. But to get back on the

433
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: metal stand for what has been historically one of those

434
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: big standalone moments on the Olympic stage. It's huge. I

435
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: mean I cried like three times. Really. I cried for

436
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: Amber Green, I cried for Lissa Lou. I cried it in.

437
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: I was crying when Scott Hamilton was crying because they

438
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: all just say the same things. Look at her skating

439
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: with so much joy, and you look back at the

440
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: heartache she had just two days ago, and I'm like, yes, yes,

441
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: it's sens I counts.

442
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 5: I'm so happy.

443
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: I'm so I was crying for the other day and

444
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: it died like I can't believe it does this right,

445
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Like Pino Lonzo's home run against Devin Williams two years

446
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: ago in the playoffs. I didn't cry screamed like a

447
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: lunatic this. I'm like, no that, I can't. I can't

448
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: help myself. I gotta be honest. I was checking in

449
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: with my my hometown of Chicago, uh for the audio

450
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: portion of a lot of the day, because the politicos

451
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: were all coming out. Anybody that served a term as

452
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: a representative, as a lieutenant governor, as a governor was

453
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: calling into the local shows on Chicago radio. So I

454
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: might have had the sound of that higher, So I

455
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: might have been dying a little bit inside for that.

456
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: So I didn't necessarily hear Scott Hamilton. I didn't necessarily hear.

457
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean the violin start to tell the tales of

458
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: these Olympias. I mean, I'm crying, and a Lissa lou

459
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: wins and even the skaters who came in second and

460
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: third are crying because they're happy. And I can't get

461
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: over how how happy people are to not win. And

462
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: still I can hug somebody right away. And they go

463
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: to Scott Hamilton in the studio and Mike Turrico says, Scott,

464
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: you know what do you make of Elissa Luths performs?

465
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: Is Scott hug goes Mike. I don't know what to say, Like,

466
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I'm like right now. I don't know

467
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: what to say either, But I'm sitting on my couch

468
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: and you're on television. But the thing with Hamilton, though, right,

469
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean he's lived and died with the organization through

470
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: all their trials, like they've They've had a lot of

471
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: things that have flown through the years. And you've watched

472
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: the hours of sweat Equity and the battle back and

473
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 1: in this case, coming back out of retirement. Now you're

474
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: only twenty, but coming back out of retirement, you turned

475
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: that off and said, hey, I'm moving on, and then decided, nah,

476
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,199
Speaker 1: I still got a lot of more, and here you are.

477
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of more because this is I

478
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't have had a lot of more, but now I

479
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of more. So it's okay, Well I'm

480
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: pasta car bloading and here we go. So we'll have

481
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: more on the Olympics coming up, and tons of great

482
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: stuff to get to from tonight, you know, more on

483
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: the United States, the women winning the gold medal against

484
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Canada and a game that looked like they were just dead.

485
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and they were dead, like the biathlon guy,

486
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 1: he's dead, but he's in the lead. Like that's how

487
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: dead the United States was with two minutes left to

488
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: go in this I love how Jack. Yeah, I wish

489
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: I could bottle this and sell it. However, I was

490
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: thinking about you a lot. Yeah, yeah, because you know,

491
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: the Northwest Indiana Bears looks like it's going to happen.

492
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: All right, big news today in the NFL where we

493
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: are now, there's a lot of inside football with this

494
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: story However, Northwest Indiana, the Greater Northwest Indiana area, passed

495
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: a bill to lure the Bears there from Chicago. This

496
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: is the story that we were first brought to you

497
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: a few couple months ago when this was in its infancy,

498
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: and now Indiana's going through. We just discovered football. We're

499
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: so happy. Yes, let's go get an NFL team. And

500
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: the Bears have been trying for a while to get

501
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: a new stadium built the long rumored, long wanted Arlington

502
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: Heights area. The Bears wanted your team was trying for

503
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: a new place. But now it's been absolutely approved and

504
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: there was going to be a vote scheduled today in

505
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 1: Chicago to try to get the decks cleared to build

506
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,679
Speaker 1: that stadium in Arlington Knights and the vote got canceled.

507
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: So we have never been closer to the Northwest Indiana

508
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: Bears than we are right now. And Mike Harmon, let

509
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: me tell you because I want to, because I'm get emotional,

510
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about this. I want to set you at ease. Yeah,

511
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: this story is not a big deal. It is a

512
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: local politics story. And where they're gonna play if they

513
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 1: play in Northwest Indiana, was it twenty minutes from downtown Chicago,

514
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: twenty minutes away. It's right, this is this is gonna

515
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: be fine. I get that there's a lot of people

516
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: upset the Bears are moving to Indiana. Oh my goodness,

517
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: we can't have this. What's gonna happen. They're still gonna

518
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: be the Chicago Bears. They're gonna play in Indiana if

519
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: they do, and it's fine. The Jets and Giants play

520
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Right, New Jersey's not saying, oh, you

521
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: got to be the Jersey No, no, no, We're still

522
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: going to be the Chicago Bears. Right. It's eight or

523
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: nine Sundays a year. If you live in the Greater

524
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Chicago area, it may be an extra fifteen minutes to

525
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 1: get to a game, depending where it is. This is

526
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 1: a local politics story that I get that Bears fans

527
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: are upset because, hey, here's something to be upset about.

528
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: We could lose the Bears, can lose the Bears. Yeah,

529
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: it'll be okay, it'll be okay. Right, I mean, everything's

530
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. The Bears will make money. Chicago, everybody's everything.

531
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere, They're just potentially moving twenty minutes away. Yes,

532
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: it is northwest Indiana. It's a weird story. It's funny

533
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,719
Speaker 1: because you know the North is Indiana Bears is kind

534
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 1: of funny. But overall the main it feels like everybody's

535
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 1: upset about this. But just understand that this is social media,

536
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: this is local politics, this is Illinois politics in Indiana,

537
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: and hey, we could take the Bears, could not take

538
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: the Bears. There is gonna be no difference. If the

539
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: Bears play just over the border or on a town

540
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: that borders Illinois and Indiana. Then if they stay in Chicago,

541
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 1: if they go to Arlington Heights, you will be fine, buddy.

542
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: Everything the sun will come up, The Bears will play football.

543
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: They'll have the same uniforms. They're not going to all

544
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Hey you have to play for Nano Mendoza,

545
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: and you gotta get Signetty coaching the team. That all

546
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 1: that stuff's not gonna happen. Everything is good. The Bears

547
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: will play the world will move on and it's not

548
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna be that big a deal. Again, the Jets and

549
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: Giants play in New Jersey. No one's not going to

550
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: the Jets Giants games because they play New Jersey. No

551
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 1: one's doing that. Everybody, I want to tell you everything's

552
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Yeah, it's a lot of fun with

553
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: the politics and business of football, which interests me probably

554
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: more so than I think anybody that we work with

555
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: and around and everything. I love the minutia and the battling,

556
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: and I'd love to be sitting there with a bucket

557
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: of popcorn to watch the holdings of each each of

558
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: these legislatures. Right for Indiana, they've already cleared the path

559
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: for Hey, we're gonna need to take over this many

560
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: homes and and buy your land. Okay, we're gonna need

561
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: to do this, and and they've plotted it all out

562
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: the Bears, I guess, with the state. According to all

563
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: the politicos, had great conversations yesterday and then the Bear said,

564
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: you know what, we don't want to meet again today

565
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: because we got a couple of things we'd like to

566
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: tweak before we continue this. In other words, we got concessions,

567
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: and now it's a game of politics and negotiation. Look,

568
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: Soldier Field, I cried the first time I was on

569
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: Lake Shore Dry after they did the famous let's put

570
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: a toilet bowl over the top of what Soldier Field

571
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: is the columns are still there, the historic structure that

572
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: you may remember if you're of a certain age before

573
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: the spaceship was put up. But once you get inside,

574
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: pretty nice stadium, pretty good. No, they don't own it.

575
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 1: It's the thing that's lost. Right. The locals understand this

576
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: in Chicago. But again I reiterate as the guy, the

577
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: ex pat, this park district owns it. So they get nothing.

578
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: When Taylor Swift and insert concert week long stays, tractor pulls,

579
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: how the field is used, they get nothing. They get

580
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: a bad field that gets guys hurt and where guys

581
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: don't want to come play for the Bears. That's what

582
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 1: they get. They don't get any of the parking. They'll

583
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: get again nothing. Maybe they want you have to have

584
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: a better ground screw. Maybe that's what it is. They

585
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: need Roger Bosser to not only handle rate field, but

586
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: also see what is it the Tuma family, right, that's

587
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: been big. You need the Tuma family to come. I

588
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna help. Why not? If you know

589
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: you get the toe of family is just like in

590
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,959
Speaker 1: college football, if there's enough money out there, you can

591
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: lure any head coach. You can lure anyone from that Bundy.

592
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: See now you had the right head coach. Your infrastructure

593
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: still sucks, but it's it's now just that type of thing.

594
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: The money is literally in the banana stand right now

595
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: without selling the team. They're not rich, they're on paper rich,

596
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: but they're not running around to wear mccaskey's flashy. But

597
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 1: you have the opportunity here to pit Illinois against Indiana

598
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: and it becomes a game of leverage. So now, what

599
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: can you leverage a public moneys because that's the other thing,

600
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: play with other people's money. I know it's not the

601
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: winning structure from some of the studies, but having a

602
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: football team there has a lot of ancillary value, so

603
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: they don't want to lose it. This is still on

604
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: the twenty five yard line with a bad kicker. No

605
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: matter what happens, it will be fine. Even if it's

606
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: a double doink, it will be fine. The Chicago Bear

607
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: the change the theme songs. As as Patrick Quinn, former governor, said,

608
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: he goes heyde the pride of joy in Illinois, Chicago

609
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,560

624
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: I do cry over everything. I'm not crying yet because

625
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: the Clippers haven't started, even though they are playing against

626
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: the Nuggets. And reports about a hammer coming down on

627
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: the Clippers. Oh, I'm so scared about this inflatable hammer

Speaker 3: that you guys are talking about.

629
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what happens. Watch.

630
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: This is going to bite me in the bus when

631
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: we find out what actually happens. But I'm just saying

632
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: I don't see a smoking gun, so I don't know

633
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 3: where these reports are coming from but they haven't started yet.

634
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: The NBA is back from their All Star break. Ten

635
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 3: games on the slate tonight right now. Three are going

636
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: on late in the fourth quarter. It's been the Spurs

637
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,640

642
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 3: about ten days, which means he is now ineligible for

643
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: any end of season awards. He's been out since January thirtieth,

644
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 3: so he'll be reevaluated in ten days from that knee injury.

645
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 3: After the first quarter, the Kings, who have lost fourteen

Speaker 1: One twelve to one oh five.

659
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 3: Other NBA news, well, the Commissioner Adam Silver did tell

660
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 3: the gms in the league today that there will be

661
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,719
Speaker 3: anti tanking rules in place for next season. ESPN has

662
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 3: some of the details some of the things. I won't

663
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 3: give you everything, but teams can't pick top four the

664
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 3: year after making the conference finals. The lottery odds are

665
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 3: going to be allocated based on two year records, and

666
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: no longer are they going to allow a team to

667
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: pick top four in consecutive years and or after consecutive

668
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 3: bottom three finishes. Some of the details of that. When

669
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: it comes to the NFL, yes, could the Bears be moving.

670
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, but that seems to be a possibility.

671
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: As an Indiana House committee unanimously passed the Stadium Authority

672
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 3: Bible to try and lure the Bears to build a

673
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 3: new stadium in northwest Indiana. Eagles left tackle Lane Johnson

674
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 3: says he's going to return to going to return to

675
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 3: play in twenty twenty six. It's gonna be his fourteenth

676
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 3: season in golf. Round one play at the Genesis Invitational

677
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 3: was suspended due to darkness. It's gonna resume on Friday

678
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: at ten am Eastern time. Aaron Rye he's at the

679
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 3: top of the leader board, six under par, but he's

680
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: through sixteen holes.

681
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy did finish his round. He ended five under par.

682
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 3: Scottie Scheffler is five over through ten holes, but you

683
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: know he likes to start slow and then he makes

684
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 3: the cut and then picks up.

685
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried.

686
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: And as you guys already hit on, that was a

687
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: crazy goal in women's hockey today, Bye, it was awesome,

688
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: such a sweet goal. US women's hockey defeats Canada two

710
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: knixt game is under review, just like a skating wait,

711
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: it's under review. They don't review blowouts. Yeah, I just

712
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: threw that down the garbage. This moo fle flushing come

713
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: back the next day. But right before the break, we

714
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: talked about, Hey, here's my top three MVP candidates right now,

715
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: and again, I do MVP a little bit differently. It's

716
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: not just the player of the year. It's got to

717
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: be someone that leads their team to something in the

718
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: regular season. It's why you know Jokich MVP. Again, they're

719
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 1: a fifty win team every year. He doesn't lift them anywhere.

720
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: He's the best player. But MVP is not the best player.

721
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: That's not the award. We have the same mindset of

722
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: these voters all these years. Really good, don't vote for him?

723
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

724
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 1: Well they I don't know why team why leagues don't

725
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 1: have Player of the Year and MVP. They should. It

726
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 1: should be what add another award? Players love awards? What

727
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: add player of the year, MV, defensive player of the year,

728
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: ADDS player of the year, add player there, make the

729
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: the Kobe Bryant Player of the Year award? Lady Bing

730
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Jaiah Stewart, I don't know. You watch the NBA every night?

731
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: Is there anyone who can win a Lady Bing Award

732
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: in the NBA? That is a man's league. Man that's

733
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: a NBA is a man's game. There's no Lady Baning

734
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,799
Speaker 1: winners in that one. I don't know. There's a couple

735
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,240
Speaker 1: of guys. Hey, yeah, you know what. Wemby actually helped

736
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and beat up once after he really hard. Let's give

737
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: him the lady bing Ward. Well, I mean it would

738
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: go to a guy that really doesn't play defense. That's

739
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: very generous on the court. But I gave you my

740
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: top three Jalen Brown number one. The Celtics in action

741
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 1: right now, thumping the Warriors fifty one to thirty. Did

742
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: you see Porzingis out there? Yeah, he's bad. Everybody else

743
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: is tanking and sitting out Porzenkas I'm coming back. Hey,

744
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:24,919
Speaker 1: all right? Uh, Wemby at number two and at number three.

745
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: I had a guy who it may be the most

746
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: shocking MVP top three guy you could have didn't think

747
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 1: in his mid to late thirties he was going to

748
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: have enough, especially on a team where they lost their

749
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: best guard and their best all around player before the

750
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: season started. But after thirty five points tonight, the burner

751
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: account's going to be off the hook for Kevin Durant.

752
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: At mid court. What's seven six five four double pumps

753
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 4: shot left side?

754
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: Got it seventeen feet Dan again with a clutch basket.

755
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: One oh three ninety eight one seconds are ranting Rockets

756
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: radio network after airing out his teammates, right, all the

757
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: controversy with his burner accounts, and after all of this,

758
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: thirty five eight and four tonight the Rockets win again

759
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: one oh five, one on one. Now Charlotte's a five

760
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: hundred team. But then you're on the road before the break.

761
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: I did not see this. And again, this is what

762
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: I love about the NBA is that guys who get

763
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 1: to be in their mid thirties really start in late thirties,

764
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 1: really start surprising me with sometimes what they have left

765
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: in the tank. Like I thought James Harden was done

766
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: five years ago, James Harden still not done. Right, I

767
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,879
Speaker 1: thought Mellow was done two years before he was actually done.

768
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant still a great score, but really what does

769
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: he have left? Guys average in twenty six a game, right,

770
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: the Rockets without Fred van Vliet. Look where they are

771
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: in the Western Conference, right there near the top. And

772
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: here he again a very Jimmy Butler esque I'm gonna

773
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: air out my teammates allegedly, And then you see what

774
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: I still do, And I put my money where my

775
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 1: mouth is to go win this game, like Katie's gonna

776
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: make a big run at MVP this year. Man, you

777
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 1: just watched because you see the standings in the Western

778
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: Conference where we all thought the thunder we're gonna go out.

779
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: They were gonna win seventy five games. It was so

780
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: easy for them. Yeah, things starting to come back to

781
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 1: the pack a little bit. And and Houston is just

782
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,879
Speaker 1: within a couple of games of or within a game

783
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: and a half now of getting up above Denver. There

784
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: are three games behind San Antonio. Like, Kevin Durant is

785
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna make a big MVP run here. He is having

786
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: an unbelievable This is his best, most impactful year in

787
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: years that Kat's having coming off of this whole burner

788
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: airing out my teammate stuff. Man, that's something. Yeah, you

789
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: gotta be able to ride that out for another twenty

790
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: seven games. We'll see if the pettiness can continue through

791
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: the rest of this regular season. The thing that is

792
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: a positive is this was his what fiftieth or fifty

793
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: first game played of the year. Because one of the

794
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: things in Monse's update, we're keeping a track of all

795
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: those guys that won't reach sixty five games, so they

796
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: won't be ineligible. Steph Curry now on that list if

797
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: you had him as a long shot. Currently Kevin Durant.

798
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 1: You want to know what his odds are? Go ahead,

799
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: thousand and one. Yeah, I'll get Kevin Durant now one.

800
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant pretty deep on there. And the thing you'll

801
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: love to hear, they have the sixth weakest schedule remaining

802
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: in the National Basketball next a lot stop. They do

803
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: have the Knicks twice. They're on the left side of

804
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: the ledger though for now. But yeah, four eighty six

805
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: winning percentage for the rest of their games Cleveland, the Clippers, Atlanta, Sacramento,

806
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: and Portland remain. Sacramento with the second easiest schedule, they

807
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: may not win again. What are the fourteen in a

808
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: row now that they've lost? Yeah, I watched that continue

809
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: the crater. But Kevin Durant has always been the creature

810
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: of Hey, how do you motivate him? Right now? He

811
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: left Golden State because he didn't think he got enough love.

812
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 1: That fuels you into the next spot and often, and

813
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: they played pretty well in Brooklyn, right if it wasn't

814
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: for his clown shoe. Yeah, they beat Milwaukee maybe, but

815
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: his clown shoe clown Shoe besides Joe Bob Shoe, I

816
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: think came in to play. I don't think you have

817
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: to worry about someone's motivation as long as they still

818
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: have burner accounts to defend themselves, right that the once

819
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: there's no more, if Katie said, yeah, I'm done with there,

820
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: Oh he's done. Yeah, but that might be enough to

821
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 1: get him. You know, he's finished serotonin levels and everything else.

822
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, he gets his he gets his juice out

823
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: of that, and he doesn't necessarily take it on the court. Fortunately,

824
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: he's still got a lot of anger at him. Get

825
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, I'm telling you moving up that MVP list. Exit.

826
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: How about a Fresco ectit swallowing Dome. We get back

827
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: into the agony and ecstasy of the day in sports. Next,

828
