John Morant's Night last night. It wasn't 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: announced during the day that it was going to be 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: John Rands Night, but it became John Morand's Night. Yet 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: fifty two. That's a franchise record, six more than the 22 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: previous record that he set on Saturday. I think in 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: the last two weeks he's had three of the top 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: six scoring performances in Memphis Grizzlies history. And there are 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: two plays that stand out. And you can make a 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: case that the dunk that he had over Yaka Podal 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: was not as impressive as the shot that he hit 28 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,199 Speaker 1: to beat the buzzer at the end of the first 29 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: half full court passed by Steven Adams, catch shoot in 30 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: four tenths of a second and make it. But the 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:41,119 Speaker 1: dunk he posterized Yaco Podal, that's one of those where 32 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: if you get posterized, you got to run down the 33 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: floor quickly, so they don't, you know, focus on who 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: got posterized. Act like it doesn't bother you. Yes, I 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: act like you've been there before. You know. Sean Bradley 36 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: would get posterized, but I always gave him credit because 37 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: he went up trying to block those shots. Yaca Podal 38 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: got hot in no man's land. It's one of those 39 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: where do I take a charge or do I try 40 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: to block it? Or I, oh no, it's too late. 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: And John Morant nearly jumped over Kevin Love with a 42 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: dunk before nearly nearly pulled that off. And I think 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna pull up Frederick Weiss, Vince Carter, 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: he's gonna jump over somebody and probably you know six 45 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 1: eight six nine, six ten guy because he's he was 46 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: close to doing that with Kevin Love. But Yaco Podal, 47 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: no man's land got posterized. He put up fifty two 48 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: and uh, you know that's a career best. They beat 49 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: the Spurs last night. Yeah, Polly, you feel bad for 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: Jacob Podle. Yaco Podle, He's he's ever in thirteen and ten. 51 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,679 Speaker 1: He's a nice serviceable center in the league. But he's 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,399 Speaker 1: got a lot of work to get out of this one. Yeah, 53 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: until the next guy gets posterized by John Marin. See, 54 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: it's not one of those where you go, that's the 55 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: only time he's gonna posterize somebody. You know, Vince Vince 56 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: Carter jumped over Frederick von Weiss Adoliss and uh, you know, 57 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: the fact that he did it in the Olympics made 58 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: it an even bigger deal. And Frederick Weiss never came 59 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: back from that, of course, you know, being a Knicks 60 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: draft choice, you know, figures. Yeah, we got we got 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: Frederick Weiss. What's he known for? Oh he got jumped 62 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: over by Vince Carter. Oh yeah, great career. Here is 63 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: John morant On scoring fifty two last night. I ain't 64 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: gonna lie, man, my head all over the place. Um, 65 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: it's thankful for my teammates. You know, my coaches. You 66 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: know they believe in me. Have you know, all the 67 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: confidence in the world that you know I can go 68 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: and you know, make the right play. And you know 69 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: tonight they were looking for me, and like I said, 70 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 1: before I got close, they told me to, you know, 71 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: go ahead and go get it. Yeah, and he did. 72 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Had forty six on Saturday, had fifty two last night. 73 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: By the way, our Stats of the day brought to 74 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: you by our good folks at Panini America, the official 75 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: trading car of the Dan Patrick Show. You know, we 76 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: keep talking about MVP candidates and John Marent deserves to 77 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: be in that conversation. Damar de Rosen. He had eighteen 78 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: points last night, ended his streak of ten straight games 79 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: scoring at least thirty points. That's one shy of Michael 80 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Jordan's club record. You know, the Bulls are a little 81 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: bit of a mystery to me. While I do think 82 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: they have a really good team, they got a good 83 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: coach and they got some star power there. The Bulls 84 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: have the sixth best record in the NBA, but they're 85 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: one in eight against the five teams ahead of them, Phoenix, 86 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: Golden State, Memphis, Utah, and Miami. Yeah, dat out of 87 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: the day? That last out of the day stat of 88 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: the day? Here comes that? What stat of the day? 89 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: The team that I would keep an eye on if 90 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: you're looking at maybe a dark horse. I don't know 91 00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: if they would be. Everybody's talking about the Sixers. You 92 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: got the Boxes, the defending champs. You got Phoenix when 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Chris Paul gets back, you got Golden State when everybody 94 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: gets healthy. The Miami Heat. Keep an eye on the 95 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: Miami Heat as you're spoiler in the East. Maybe not 96 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: a spoiler, but a team that you might not be 97 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: considering NBA championship worthy. But I do think you know 98 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 1: they had the drop off last year. But Miami Heat 99 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: would be the team that I would keep an eye 100 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: on as maybe a surprise team. Yes, Polly, I have 101 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: preseason MVP odds. Before the NBA played the first game, 102 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: Jannis was a favorite Luca, Steph Curry, Lebron, James James Harden, 103 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the usual suspects in the top thirty players. You cannot 104 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: find John Rant at all. He's not even the top thirty. Well, 105 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: LaMelo ball was ahead of him. Well, if you look, 106 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: you know you got a great player in Charlotte, a 107 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: great player in Memphis, maybe the opportunity to have a 108 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: great player in New Orleans and Zion. You know, if 109 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: you're looking at the future of the NBA, you can 110 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: look in that that area, that region, because LaMelo balls 111 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: for real. John Moran certainly is as well. And we'll 112 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: find out if Zion is going to be able to 113 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: be Zion again. All right, Uh, Fritzie has a limerick? Um, 114 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: do you want to let us know what the limerick 115 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: is to? The limerick is about the current baseball locked out? Okay, 116 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 1: all right, it was a little something like this. Okay, 117 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: spring training still yet to begin. Owners and players providing 118 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: their spin opening day outlook not sunny, greedy battles over 119 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: money and the fan fans once again just can't win. 120 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: And the fans once again just can't win. Which fans 121 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: are you referring to ours? Or baseballs is sorry? That's funny. Yeah, 122 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: thank you, to thank you. Tod is so proud when 123 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: he when he gets his limerick done and then he 124 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: sends it to me and then he's just waiting, like 125 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: for when you give your parents your your report card 126 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 1: and it's really good, like you just you can't they 127 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: can't spend enough time looking at your report. Now, do 128 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: you like when you see in advance? I was going 129 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: to just send you a note saying that I have 130 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: a limerick, or maybe give you the topic the limerick, 131 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: and maybe in you don't you're hearing it for the 132 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,239 Speaker 1: first time as opposed to maybe seeing it. I don't. 133 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't read your limericks if they're not dirty or 134 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: anything where it needs to be checked. Paul, he likes 135 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: to see some of them. Yeah. I used to get 136 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: a little carried away with some of my mock headlines 137 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: where he had to kind of say, you can't read one, three, eight, ten, 138 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 1: and twelve. There's no way. But you would do that though, 139 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: you would deliberately put sexual inuendo. And to PAULI we 140 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: didn't get fined by the FTC. Yeah, but I said Todd, don't, 141 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: don't put him in there. But you you would and 142 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: then you go, oh, you can't take out that one, 143 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: like it's so disappointed, Like I have to read at 144 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: least that one. Yes, I would read flag them and tabago. 145 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: Are you sure you came through the airlock? Are you 146 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: are you asking me that? I mean I was so sure, 147 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: And then we would talk about it. Then he would 148 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: make me see the light. I'm like, yeah, we probably 149 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: could get in a lot of jab offights to that. Yeah. Yes, 150 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 1: I think Tadd is feeling a little heat this morning 151 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: because there's some dude on Twitter who's firing off limericks 152 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: like you wouldn't believe. Oh I did notice that, so like, yeah, 153 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: Major Matt or something, and he's got no matter what 154 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: you talk about, he's immediately fi a London super Bowl. 155 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: How uncouth media coverage costs go through the roof. He's 156 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: firing off limericks like you wouldn't believe. You try to 157 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: drag me in like the Ryan likes to do. Look 158 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: at their kind of dating a little bit Ryan in Honolulu. 159 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: Maybe it's working. They like that I pronounced fans fans. 160 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: I've ruined that lin. I was it was going so smooth. 161 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: I was doing the little sing along of the Limerick 162 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: and then and the Fens fans, so he wins the 163 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: whole thing.

The results from the first down the 169 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: results for the first hour of day. Yesterday's letter from 170 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's agent was best for seventy six percent of 171 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: voters said the Cardinals, dang, I agree with Floria. I 172 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: don't know if it was good for either side here, 173 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: and I don't know where it takes you. What's the 174 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: next step? Is it up to the Cardinals now then 175 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: to reach out to Kyler Murray? What if they don't 176 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: reach out to Kyler Murray? When Kyler created this, you know, 177 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: he started this, this snowball, and all of a sudden, 178 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: you know that's where you can't go, Hey, you're blowing 179 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: it out of proportion. This something you guys started, And 180 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: do the Cardinals say anything, do anything? Ye? Well, thank 181 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: you Kyler for bringing that to our attention the current 182 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: contract situation, how you're improving. Wait, thank you, thank you 183 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: for bringing that rapidly improving, rapidly improving. I only won 184 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: three games and then you got us to eleven. Thank 185 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: you for bringing that to our attention. Yeah, but you 186 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: know that's where you have to have that middle ground 187 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: where not every quarterback is going to get forty five 188 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: to fifty million dollars. I mean, this is part of 189 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: the problem with the NBA that you have these players. 190 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to get paid, and you're getting guys who 191 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: don't deserve that kind of money, but they're getting that 192 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: money just because that's the going rate. And you know, 193 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: I always single out John Wall. I mean, John Wall's 194 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: making forty two million dollars a year. If John Wall 195 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: was playing in our man cave shooting hoops, now I 196 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: might get out there and watch him, but I probably wouldn't. 197 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: Forty two million dollars a year for John Wall and 198 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: he's not even playing. All right, some phone calls here 199 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: and we'll check in with the Lakers coming up. Grambling 200 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: is no longer going to employ Art Bryles. Art Briles, 201 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: of course, was at Baylor, turned that program around, was 202 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: involved in a lot of controversy with Baylor and was 203 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: subsequently fired. But a huge Jackson who has not had 204 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: a good couple of months here, he's the head coach 205 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: at Grambling. He was going to bring in Art Bryles. Like, 206 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,679 Speaker 1: of all the people you could bring in, all the 207 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: people you could give a job too, all the people 208 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: who are trying to get into these positions, you're gonna 209 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: bring in Art Broyles. Really, And then if you have 210 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: to have a press release to follow up the press 211 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: release that you're hiring Art Ryles and defending why you're 212 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: hiring Art Ryles, then you shouldn't be hiring Art Ryles 213 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: if you look at everything that happened at Baylor when 214 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: Art Ryles was there. And I know we love to 215 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: give a second shit, you know, we always give a 216 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: second chance to those who are really talented. It's never 217 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,560 Speaker 1: the guy who's nah, you know he's not that talented. 218 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: It's guy's got a lot of talent and will give 219 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: him a second chant. That's that's how you justified Art Ryles. 220 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 1: Offensive minded guy. I was gonna say genius, but it 221 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: seems like whenever we say offensive minded, it's always genius 222 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: attached to that. But Art Ryles, you know, is a 223 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: good football coach. But you've got to bring in somebody 224 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: like in there, somebody who's starting out in the business, 225 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: that maybe you could give a break to, not Art Briles, 226 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 1: of all people. But Grambling decided that, and maybe Art 227 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: Briles said, you know, this isn't worth it. I don't 228 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: want to I don't want to bring you baggage here 229 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: more baggage. I thought I was unpacking bags and that's 230 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: not the case. Yes, Todd, I couldn't agree more. I 231 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,880 Speaker 1: think if Art Briles was smart and he saw the 232 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 1: attention that the Scott he's doing more harm than good. 233 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: You gotta step away and not bring that to the program. Yeah, 234 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean it's and you know, here's Hugh Jackson. You 235 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: put yourself in the Brian Flores, you know, was he 236 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: asked to tank games in Cleveland, and now you hire 237 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: Art Briles, and it's not a good couple of weeks 238 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,560 Speaker 1: there for Hugh Jackson. Just not all right, let's see 239 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: what do we have here? Uh, Andrew and Washington leads 240 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: us off this morning.

Okay, 273 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: I think I think I'm been telling of that for 274 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 1: being denied an actual birthday, kind of like being born 275 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: on Christmas Day. Okay, all right, well, thank you, chunk. Yes, ton, 276 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: but it's happy birthday. There's no such thing. It's happy birthdays. 277 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: It's not ployal. You gotta pick a day. You don't 278 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: get two days just because you were born on some weird, 279 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: no funky end of February days. No, why do you 280 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: get too? No? No, my wife gets a week. What 281 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: are you talking about? I was gonna say this is 282 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: a thing as a birthday anymore. If you just follow 283 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: social media, it's my birthday month. Yeah, yeah, yeah, poll, 284 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 1: that's tough. Well, you should get one day. You should 285 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: get one day every four years and really blow it out. 286 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: But then you don't get anything the other three years. No, 287 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: nor twenty if it's special, but let it be special, yes, Todd, Yeah, 288 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: there's an argument to be made. They should only tell 289 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: about your birthday on your birthday, even if you get 290 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: screwed out of three to the four years. It's very 291 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: sad and you only get to have a birthday once 292 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: every four years. But yeah, this is this was what happened. 293 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: You want to be special, be special. Parents didn't time 294 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: it out appropriately. Something bad happened there. Thank you, Todd. Welcome. 295 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: You got to check the numerology and make sure you 296 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: don't get don't don't even do that.

I don't think it's lines up nicely 302 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: for that, although although Paulie sent out a story that 303 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: there was a baby that was born on two twenty two, 304 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: twenty two at two two three in the afternoon. You 305 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: imagine that kid just just miss that kid's whole life'd 306 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: be coming up short, and everything, everything always just a 307 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: minute late, everything always late.

It does turn out that when Lebron James 330 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: says something about you or tweets about you, other people 331 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: want to say things about you and tweet about you. 332 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: So I've had a lot of I've had a lot 333 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: of that over the last few days, but otherwise pretty good. 334 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,199 Speaker 1: Eighty degrees in Los Angeles yesterday. Okay, but tell the 335 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: audience what you reported and why Lebron James reacted to 336 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: that or how he did well. So, I mean, obviously, 337 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: after his comments at All Star Weekend about potentially returning 338 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: to Cleveland and his various praise for other executives on 339 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: the heels of the Lakers, I'm making a move at 340 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 1: the trade deadline, there was a lot of tea leave 341 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: reading and a lot of interpretation, and we're talking about 342 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: Lebron James. He's one of the master master tweakers in 343 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: the history of of you know, the organizations he works for, 344 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: and um sub tweets and sort of you know, trying 345 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,680 Speaker 1: to push buttons kind of behind the scenes, and so UM. 346 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 1: You know, I reported, you know, several things kind of 347 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: reported related to Lebron, including you know that the subtext 348 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: is that within the Lakers organization and sort of sort 349 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: of um, along with the trend of the rest of 350 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,119 Speaker 1: the NBA, and Lebron helped us her this in he 351 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: has more power within the Lakers organization than any player 352 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: ever has, and that includes Kobe Bryant and UM. And 353 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: so what I you know, basically wrote was that Lebron 354 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: was using that platform in that moment to sort of 355 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: apply pressure to the Lakers to get what he wanted 356 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: from the Lakers, whatever that might be, whatever his vision, 357 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: whether it's a contract extension, whether it's just to kind 358 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: of hold the Lakers feet to the fire a little 359 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: bit more and remind them that he could potentially leave 360 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: if things don't go his way. UM. And then in 361 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: the aftermath of that, of course, Lebron, uh, you know, 362 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: it's basically wrote that no one should listen to me. 363 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: I guess, but um, but um, you know we talked 364 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: about it. We're good. But how was that? So he 365 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: pulls you aside and just wants to have a heart 366 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 1: to heart, man to man conversation. I just say, I 367 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 1: would just say we talked about in the hallway I 368 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: had hit his press conference and we had a conversation 369 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 1: about it, and you know, I had a couple thoughts 370 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: on it, and he had a couple thoughts on it. 371 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: And then you know, it seems like well ended it 372 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: up pretty good place because it doesn't take you know, 373 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 1: that much time to connect the dot dots here of 374 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: what he's saying, how he's saying it. And then all 375 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: of a sudden, hey, um, you guys didn't do anything 376 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: at the trade deadline as it well, let me ask 377 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: you that it almost felt like the Lakers said, look, Lebron, 378 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: this is what you wanted. You deal with it. You 379 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: you wanted Anthony Davis, We gave up all those young players, 380 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: we gave up picks. You wanted Russell Westbrook, we wanted 381 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: Buddy Healed. You got it go, you know, make the 382 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: best of it. Is that? Yeah, I think that's absolutely 383 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: you know, a reasonable assessment. And also any change they 384 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: were gonna even if it was them, even if it 385 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: was the John the John Wall trade right, which made 386 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,920 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. John Wall is also a client 387 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: of Clutch Sports, which you know is clutches Lebron Lebron's 388 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: clutch Rich Paul runs Clutch Sports. Um, that would have 389 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: needed that would that that's a move that would have 390 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 1: disadvantaged the Lakers, right, They would have had to give 391 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: up that first round pick in twenty twenty seven, or 392 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: even a pick swap in twenty twenty seven, which you 393 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: know is you know, we don't know where the Lakers 394 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: are going to be five years from now. That could 395 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: end up being a really catastrophic pick swap. And so 396 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: while you are in win now mode, I think there 397 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: was also a real healthy dose of reality from the 398 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: Lakers to say, you know, we can be in win 399 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: now mode all we want. We can't win now. So 400 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: there is a little bit of get to the offseason. 401 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: Get to you know, make the best of this season. 402 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: Maybe something breaks your way and you you know, maybe 403 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: you could win a playoff series or something really breaks 404 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: your way, but get to the postseason and then and 405 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,919 Speaker 1: then kind of lick your wounds and reassemble. Then do 406 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: you think Lebron ends his career as a Laker. I 407 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: would say yes, I think I think that, you know, 408 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: I think that there was the you know, some saber 409 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: rattling over the All Star weekend. I don't think Lebron 410 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: wants to go anywhere. I don't think it makes sense 411 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: for him to go anywhere. I don't know that if 412 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: he were to leave at age thirty eight thirty nine, 413 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,479 Speaker 1: he's going to find another organization that is willing to 414 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: give him the same sort of equity, you know, not 415 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: not obviously actual ownership, but ownership of of you know, 416 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: action that the Lakers have, unless it is a scenario 417 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: where he is, you know, going somewhere where he is 418 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: literally going to become a part of the ownership group 419 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 1: upon retiring or something like that. But I do think 420 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: there is a real strong chance. I'd probably put it 421 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: like sixty forty, right, I tip to him him finishing 422 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: his career with the Lakers. Um, you know, the brawny 423 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: element is fascinating, but I still think it makes the 424 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: most sense for you know, this sort of funnel Brawny 425 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: to the Lakers at some point for a year or two. 426 00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: And because again I don't know how many teams, Like 427 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: I think you would have to be a team without 428 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: a real direction or plan to say, well, our best 429 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: path forward is to draft, you know, draft Bronnie James, 430 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: you know, assuming he's a draftable player, but not knowing 431 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: really where he's going to be at that stage of 432 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,719 Speaker 1: how how much like a foundational type player he could be, 433 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: And then to get a forty year old Lebron Like, 434 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: if that's your best path forward, then you really probably 435 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: are at total rock bottom as an NBA franchise. That 436 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: sounds like something the Knicks would do. Bill, Like I said, 437 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: you'd have to be a total bottom as an NBA franchise. Yeah, 438 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: I don't even know if Bronnie can play at that level. 439 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: I've watched high school games. Hell, I look good in 440 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 1: high school, Bill, So I don't know. If I'm a team, 441 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,199 Speaker 1: do you call Lebron's bluff and you draft Brownie a 442 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: lot higher than he would probably normally have gone. I mean, 443 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: I think that's the thing that people, I mean, we're 444 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: still talking about Lebron two years from now, and we've 445 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: while Lebron is still putting up massive numbers. You know, 446 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: he's averaging you know, you know, he's averaging MVP caliber numbers. Um, 447 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: he's had way more injuries than he's had in his career. 448 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: He's starting to look his age a little bit more. 449 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: Even if you watched the other night in the lost 450 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,200 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, he didn't seem to have the same 451 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 1: burst and he mentioned, you know, kind of acknowledged that 452 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 1: he you know, didn't look great even though he had 453 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 1: thirty two points. I think that knee's bothering him. So 454 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: this year he's had the knee he's had, he's had 455 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: an ab strain, he's had an ankle injury. Last year 456 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 1: he had the bad ankle injury. So these things are 457 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: starting to add up. So who's even gonna know who 458 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: even knows where Lebron's going to be in two years 459 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: and whether a team is going to see that two 460 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: for one deal as the you know, as the as 461 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 1: the you know as the steal that we might think 462 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: of it. Now, how are the Clippers, by the way, 463 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: they're I mean, they're they're fun, right, I mean we're 464 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: gonna we saw them last week against the Lakers and 465 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: again against we'll see them again this week. That's that's 466 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: a really fascinating team because they kind of like before 467 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 1: they got Kawhi and Paul George. They have such a 468 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: strong identity that sort of transcends their stars um and 469 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: then you can bring those stars in. You know. So 470 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: if Kauhi PG, Norman Powell, if there's a scenario those 471 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: guys got back for a play in for the postseason, 472 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: it would be a really like, you know, unbelievable development, 473 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 1: and it would it would really add some spice to 474 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,959 Speaker 1: the postseason. How would you, uh rage Steph Curry's All 475 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: Star performance? I mean just all time. I mean he's 476 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: just all time. I mean I don't know what against 477 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: what benchmark to you know, judge things happening in an 478 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 1: All Star game. Like, you know, he could make thirty 479 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 1: threes in an All Star game, and I don't know 480 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: that I would be like that bowled over. But to 481 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: see him just go out and have that kind of performance, 482 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, knocked down all those threes, the joy that 483 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: he brings to the game, watching everybody else kind of 484 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: embrace him, you know, he is you know, we get 485 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: very caught up in Lebron and you know, Kevin Durant, 486 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: but Steph Curry has you know, really dominated this decade 487 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: and to have kind of that sort of signature performance 488 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: on an exhibition stage. I think it's just like one 489 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: of those other feathers in the cap of of Hall 490 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: of Fame career. And I've said this before. I don't 491 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: know if you agree, but I'll bring it up that 492 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 1: you know, Michael had such an impact. In fact, the 493 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: NBA is still trying to kind of get out from 494 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: his shadow there. But what Steph Curry has done, He's 495 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,679 Speaker 1: done more for more basketball players than I think Michael's style. 496 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: Michael entertained us, but we couldn't do that. We feel 497 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 1: like we can do what Steph Curry does and I 498 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: think he'll have a greater impact on the game actual 499 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: playing than Michael will. What do you think It's funny 500 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: We had a conversation in an interview setting with Malik 501 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: Monk a few weeks ago, and it was we were 502 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 1: asking Malik Monk, who has had a great year for 503 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: the Lakers, whether he was disappointed he wasn't in the 504 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: slam dunk contest, and he said no, Like I'm I'm 505 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: more disappointed I wasn't in the three point contest. It's like, 506 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 1: why why the slam dunk contest is so much cooler, 507 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 1: and he was like, our point was because anybody can 508 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: shoot a three pointer and he's like, not like me. 509 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: And I think that that is I think that is 510 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: the I think that is the kind of the same 511 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: idea where Steph Curry took this saying that felt very 512 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,399 Speaker 1: relatable and that anybody could like go out on the 513 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: court and do and you could sort of feel like 514 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: Steff if you knock one down. And he's made it 515 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: feel cooler than dunking. He's made it feel as unreachable 516 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: as you know, jumping, you know, higher than you could jump, 517 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 1: because he does it at such an unbelievable and at 518 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: such an unbelievable level. And the video that was going 519 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: around from pregame the other day where he made thirteen 520 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: straight shots, he did his whole shooting routine from every distance, 521 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,960 Speaker 1: you know, moving all the way back off to half 522 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: court and then all the way back into the paint, 523 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: was you know, just I do think we take for 524 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,639 Speaker 1: granted like that. He has actually perfected the most fundamental 525 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: skill of basketball. And maybe John or Rent will bring 526 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: back the dunk because you know, for a smaller guy, 527 00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: he attacks the who like Derek Rose did when he 528 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: first came into the NBA and everybody wants to shoot threes. 529 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: Jaws bringing it every night, he'd bringing it to anybody, 530 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: everybody well, and like people will always love a small 531 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 1: guy who can dunk, and like I mean to see 532 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: Jaw at his size, you know, fly through the air 533 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: and like you said, at anybody over over great shop blockers, 534 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: the less the best shot block blockers in the league. 535 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 1: He is um you know completely. I mean dunking, I 536 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,239 Speaker 1: think it's a certain point. Got kind of pass right. 537 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: You watch the dunk contest. They're kind of out of 538 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: moves to do there. You can only go between your 539 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: legs so many times, behind your back, off the balance, 540 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: off the backboard, off the side of the backboard. We've 541 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: seen it all, but we haven't really seen a guy. 542 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 1: I mean even de Rose didn't like really didn't like 543 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: put it down on guys like we've seen Jah do 544 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: over over these couple of years he's been in the league. 545 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he is to me one of the three 546 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: or four guys in the NBA I would actually I 547 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 1: would pay my own money to like go sit in 548 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: like the noseblease just to watch play basketball. Who were 549 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: the others? Can I have five. Yeah, sure, Lebron steph 550 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: oh are you saying Lebron just because you got to 551 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: be nice to him? Now? No, Lebron, James is still 552 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: worth the price of commission. Come on very much, the 553 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: worth of worth the price of Okay, all right, staff 554 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: Katie and joannest Yogi both both are in there. Okay, 555 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: that's six. Yeah. I like people are talking about Demarta Rosen. 556 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 1: I said, when's the last time an MVP candidate didn't 557 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: have a highlight that you remembered? And Demarta Rosen doesn't 558 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: have any highlight. He doesn't make the highlights. It's just 559 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: you look at the box score and you go and 560 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: he scored thirty again yr Kich. It feels like his 561 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: passing stands out more than anything else. John Moran is 562 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: going to have signature plays here. The Greek Freak has 563 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,239 Speaker 1: signature play. I don't know how much that factors in, 564 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:41,040 Speaker 1: you know, with MVP voters of the style that you know, 565 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: being a performer, that goes along with how valuable you 566 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: are to your team. I think it. I think it 567 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: helps just in the sense of having you know, you 568 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: know something in your mind's eye, right, like the kind 569 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: of that signature moment or that defining sort of characteristic 570 00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: or trait. I mean, Demarta Rosen's game has never been 571 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: flashy or that highlight worthy. It's it's always been sort of, 572 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's been accumulation, like oh, he locked down 573 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: nine nine mid range jumpers, or he finally shot some threes. 574 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 1: You know, whatever he does has never been flashy. And 575 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: what it's been to me has been the accumulation in 576 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: the consistency with that Bowls team, the Bowls obviously being 577 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 1: atop the West ere excuse me, the East, and having 578 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: you know, really come out of nowhere. I mean, I 579 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: don't think anybody saw them as as as a contender 580 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: or having a good offseason, but it felt like, you know, 581 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: you overpay for DeMar. You know, who knows about Lonzo 582 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 1: and Caruso and those Everything they did has has hit. 583 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,120 Speaker 1: And so DeMars in the conversation, not only because he's 584 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: individually played like an MVP, but because he's elevated his team. 585 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 1: But you're right in the sense that not I don't 586 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: think highlights win MVPs, but I do think having sort 587 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: of memorable, memorable moments and memorable games to sort of 588 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: to sort of stick in voters minds does matter, but 589 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: I almost feel like to Mars numbers and the fact 590 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: that he kind of did has come out of nowhere 591 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: this season. I mean, always a very good player every year, 592 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: borderline All Star. But then now we're putting up the 593 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 1: numbers that he's putting out. To me, that is almost 594 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: a highlight. The highlight is the fact you can't you 595 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 1: can't disregard him, you don't forget him, because it's been 596 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: so unexpected for him this year. Yeah, it's almost like 597 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: an overnight sensation that took ten years in the making. 598 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: With Dmarda Rosen. Play nice this week, Bill, Okay, I'll try. 599 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: All right, thanks for joining us. Bill Orm, the Lakers 600 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: writer for the Athletic. You imagine you write this and 601 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you had some people who 602 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,440 Speaker 1: were upset with Bill Orm, and then Lebron says, hey, 603 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: come here, Lebron wants to talk to And you know, 604 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 1: while he said, hey, I wasn't the source of this story, 605 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: and you know that somebody was and sources run the 606 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: game and all of those things, but you know, this 607 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: is what you do when when you get stared down 608 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: by somebody and it's happened to me before when you 609 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: report something. Lawrence Taylor, I thought was gonna punch me 610 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 1: when I was covering him when he had to have 611 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: a press conference talking about being suspended cocaine news. Alex Rodriguez, 612 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: I thought he was going to punch me in the 613 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,479 Speaker 1: Rangers locker room. But you know, if I was always 614 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: told show up, always show up. If you say something, 615 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: you report something, show up in front of that person. 616 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 1: Then if they want to say something to you, they can. 617 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: And it's difficult because here you are, you're being critical 618 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: of Lebron James, and you know he's got a big 619 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: social media platform there. But if you're doing your job, 620 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: you're doing your job and you can't play nice with everybody. Yeah, Polly, 621 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: can imagine you're a bill or I'm the reporter and 622 00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: you're in the hallway and you're talking to Lebrin. You're like, oh, 623 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,360 Speaker 1: this is this is the conversation's happening right now, and 624 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: all the other reporters are watching you because they're reporting 625 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: on what's going on with those two. That's gotta be 626 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: a weird situation. There were no baseball reporters in the 627 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,959 Speaker 1: Rangers locker room that day, and I went in and 628 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: I didn't go in to confront Alex Roderiguez. I went 629 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: in to talk to Alex Roderiguez. I think a Rod 630 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: was going to confront me, but I just went in 631 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: to kind of clear the air, and it wasn't going 632 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: to happen. He was mad at me with you know, 633 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: the interview that I did with him where he talked 634 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: about Derek Jeter. And the thing I never understood about 635 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: that is I told a Rod that, you know, we 636 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200 Speaker 1: were taping the interview, he didn't say something was off 637 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: the record, and he was really upset with me because 638 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: this blew up because he was critical of Derek Jeter. 639 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: And then he does an interview with Esquire Magazine I think, 640 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: or GQ and say it says the same exact things 641 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 1: to the writer Scott rab And I went, how can 642 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 1: you be mad at me when you said the same 643 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,640 Speaker 1: thing on record to Scott Rabbin. He reported, you know, 644 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,600 Speaker 1: he wrote this article in GQ or Esquire. I went, 645 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: I didn't make any sense. But a Rod and I 646 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: have had a frosty relationship ever since then, but I 647 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: still felt I needed to hear his side of the 648 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: story of why he was so upset with me. Yeah, 649 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: Paul five minute pole question, who appears on this show 650 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 1: before it's over? Commissioner Goodell, Alex Rodriguez. And I'm not 651 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,600 Speaker 1: sure which way I'd bet I'm gonna say neither. You 652 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,080 Speaker 1: have to pick up. Oh, I gotta pick one. You 653 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: got to like if there was odds let me let 654 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: me take a break here, We'll take a break. And uh, 655 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: I have to give that some some deep deep thought 656 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,960 Speaker 1: here consideration, because the commissioner has been on the show, 657 00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:33,359 Speaker 1: but when somebody is guest hoasting that, and I think 658 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 1: Alex Rodriguez has been on the show when somebody else's 659 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: guest was correct. But I thought he was on the 660 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 1: show with you not too many years ago, where something 661 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: about it you're not welcome in the house, but you're 662 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,839 Speaker 1: on the porch where it looks. I said, how long 663 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: would it take for me to get inside your house 664 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: to know you played baseball? He goes, Oh, you're not 665 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: going to get in my house. Yeah, that was at 666 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: least fifteen years ago, by the way. Yeah that Yeah, 667 00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm even getting into his neighborhood now, Yeah, Seed, 668 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 1: don't you get the sense though, that either one of 669 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: those dudes could call into the show tomorrow and be like, no, 670 00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: what do you mean. Oh, I'm sure no, the commissioner. 671 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure the commissioner probably is oblivious to this. Oh, Pauline, 672 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: n let me take a break here, Let me take 673 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: a break here. All right, we'll be back.

Oh let's 687 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 1: see where did we leave off. Who's going to be 688 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: on this show? First, the Commissioner of the NFL, or 689 00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,839 Speaker 1: Alex Rodriguez, now, I don't really have any feud, any 690 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: issue with the commissioner. I think that I've I've had 691 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: some stories that I've had information here that probably didn't 692 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: please the commissioner. Alex. You know, I don't think will 693 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 1: ever be friends, which is fine, but I would say 694 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: the commissioner. Do you think the commissioner is aware of this? Pauling? 695 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: Are you asking if the commissioner of the the NFL, Roger Goodell, 696 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: is part of the group that agrees never to come 697 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: on this show, because he absolutely is. He's a savvy man, 698 00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,120 Speaker 1: he's a smart guy. But why would he not come 699 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,319 Speaker 1: on the show. I'll give you my honest opinion, because 700 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be asked tough questions. Okay, I think, 701 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,640 Speaker 1: as from a PR standpoint, you'll go to softer seats 702 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,240 Speaker 1: when you do interviews, when you do State of the Unions, 703 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: when you do there are certain shows he went on 704 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: back in the old days that would ask one question 705 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: that may have been a little tough, and then they 706 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 1: move on comfortably to the next question. I think that 707 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: you are much more likely in other shows too ask 708 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: tougher questions. I don't think he would go on with 709 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 1: Dan LeBatard, the commissioner in the NFL. I'll bet you 710 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: he never has. He hasn't been on this show, I 711 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,760 Speaker 1: think with you since two thy eleven, maybe even earlier. 712 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just a coincidence video absolutely not. It's a 713 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:38,919 Speaker 1: it's a strategy to have about a rod. He came 714 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: on with you, like Seaton said, probably twelve or thirteen 715 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 1: years ago, and that was like wow, I think we 716 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,400 Speaker 1: pursued him and he was promoting something. I think we 717 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: get him on. Yeah, yeah, Seton. I don't know that 718 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,000 Speaker 1: it's a The coincidence part of it is that the 719 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: only times the commissioners come on the show is when 720 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: you're not hosting. That that's a little too much of 721 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: a coincidence, all right, fair enough. One of them was 722 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,399 Speaker 1: when Ross Tucker was filling in for you, Yeah, commissioner, 723 00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: spicy mustard or European football? What do you like more? 724 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: I mean that was nuts that he agreed. But they 725 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 1: knew Ross was hosting, and they knew Michael Mike Flora 726 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,440 Speaker 1: was hosting. When we asked, yeah, how great is London? 727 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: The last time you want to hit someone in a boardroom? Yeah, 728 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,600 Speaker 1: But it's not like usually when you have the commissioners on. 729 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,200 Speaker 1: Like I know, my bosses at ESPN used to think, oh, man, 730 00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: you have the commissioner on, well, the only commissioner who 731 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: was well, I shouldn't say that. I thought Commissioner's Sea 732 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,920 Speaker 1: League was good because I could press him on the issues. 733 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: And David Stern, the NBA commissioner, I could press him 734 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: on issues and we could have a real dialogue conversation there, 735 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 1: whereas you know Commissioner Goodell, that doesn't feel like he's 736 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:57,919 Speaker 1: gonna engage. He's not gonna let this be a conversation here. 737 00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 1: It's like you got a question, I'm going to add, sir, 738 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 1: and then we move on. Yeah. Pay, Yeah, I don't 739 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 1: think I think it's smart of them. I don't think 740 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:07,160 Speaker 1: there's any business upside of coming on certain shows. Yeah, 741 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: I get that, and I know that there have been 742 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,200 Speaker 1: people who have said that, you know, they don't want 743 00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,439 Speaker 1: to come on. They didn't have anything against me, They 744 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,880 Speaker 1: just knew in that forum that I was going to 745 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,320 Speaker 1: press them on some things and they didn't want to 746 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: be answering those questions. Like Daniel Snyder. We've asked for 747 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,839 Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder for fifteen years. He's not going to come on, 748 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: Jerry Jones. We've asked for him. He's not going to 749 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: come on. But you know, we still ask everybody. You know, 750 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 1: Fritzie's not afraid of asking you. I'll send him into battle. 751 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,279 Speaker 1: I'll just say, hey, why didn't you ask for you know, 752 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,919 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods right after his press conference? Yeah, sure, all right. 753 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,520 Speaker 1: Fritzy's like, yeah, I have no problem. Bammian told no, 754 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: And Fritzie will usually send me the correspondence and I 755 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: don't I don't like reading it when somebody says no 756 00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:01,759 Speaker 1: or bleep no or don't don't even think about it, uh, 757 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: you know whatever. It's usually pretty pleasant. Every once in 758 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,800 Speaker 1: a while there's a certain agents or PR person that 759 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,920 Speaker 1: then I don't know how playful it is. That's kind 760 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 1: of no. Look, you think he's gonna go do this 761 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 1: with everything going on? Are you on crack? That was 762 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 1: once Someone wants to ask me if I was on 763 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: crack because I was trying to get a couple of 764 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 1: players to come to the ESPN Zone or something for 765 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: the show in the studio. But a couple players, Yeah, 766 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,359 Speaker 1: it was Shock and Kobe. So they turn the NBA 767 00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,120 Speaker 1: Finals if they'd come to Anaheim and sit together and 768 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: do it. Kind of feels like that's a fair response 769 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,360 Speaker 1: by that, Yeah, our person. Yes, I probably would have 770 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 1: said the same thing to you, asking from a leak monk. 771 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: You're asking for Shack, So you want Shack and Kobe 772 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,040 Speaker 1: to come to Orange County, nowhere near where Episodity has 773 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:44,319 Speaker 1: durning the finals to do an interview. Yeah, I'm gonna 774 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: assume you're on crack. You don't have to call me 775 00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: back crack. Yeah, but you know, it doesn't stop Todd 776 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: from reaching out to the commissioner because if there's a story. Look, 777 00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: I'm a conduit to you, the audience. I want to 778 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: ask questions that you know, we want answers too, and 779 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,320 Speaker 1: you know we try to get those people on so 780 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: you can't. I don't like reporting somebody's reporting. I like 781 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:15,160 Speaker 1: asking a question. I like to find out myself instead 782 00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,800 Speaker 1: of I'm going to take somebody's word for it. And 783 00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: there are a lot of great reporters, obviously, and a 784 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 1: lot of great interviewers. But when I have somebody on 785 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 1: the way I do an interview is different than anybody 786 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: else does. And therefore I think we break a lot 787 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: of news. We get a lot of great stories on 788 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: this show, and I think it's just our approach to 789 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: these interviews. All right, Fritzie, check on the commissioners, see 790 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 1: if he wants to join us. The responses two hours 791 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 1: in the books and yes, we have one more to go. 792 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: Setan Paulie, Fritzie and yeah, Marvin is still in the 793 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,839 Speaker 1: front row. Still in the front row. One more right 794 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,200 Speaker 1: and we close that hour two and it's M Drive. 795 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,000 Speaker 1: How's your balance in your life?
