35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 2: Hope you had a Pacers sort of night. I thought

36
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: the coolest thing that Halliburton addressed a few weeks ago

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: was that how they've just become masters that problem solving.

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: They're able to see what the issue is, resolve it.

39
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: If there is a problem, you know he'll solve it.

40
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: Check out the hook well, Halliburton. So they make adjustments,

41
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: turn it around in the fourth quarter, and bam, your

42
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 2: Pacers are up two games to one, one, sixteen to

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: one oh seven.

44
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 1: Who's the saddest guy in all the land today? Who?

45
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: Jay Z? I don't care, but he bet a million yeah,

46
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: but you keep talking about it. Couldn't care. I'm not

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: saying it's not news.

48
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 2: I'm just saying I feel zero sympathy at all for that.

49
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: I didn't say, I didn't say you should be all

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: bent about it. But I'm saying jay Z was so

51
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: good bet. Yeah, you would have bet a million dollars

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: beat it.

53
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's losing. And it's like you drop in

54
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: one hundred.

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you're you're so confident that you

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: bet a million on thunder and five and then just

57
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: like that, three games in in your BET's done.

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: And is such a battle.

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 2: Like I said, it came down to the fourth quarter,

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: very close game until the Pacers problem solve, figured it out,

61
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: made their shots, played good, d turned it around, pulled

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: away with it in the fourth quarter. It's been so

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: back and forth that every time a team loses, the

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: next team wins. So based on this pattern, and it's

65
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: been the same for both teams throughout the postseason, throughout

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Okayc wins the next game. You follow that pattern,

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers win this, and maybe Danny g is right

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: all along. We'll see what happens. Let me throw this

69
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 2: out I had written down first hour. Are jay Z sympathies? No, no, no, no,

70
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: it's a fund bit of information. But if you think

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: I care at all, and I'm a jay Z fan,

72
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that he stinks or anything like that.

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: But you want to blow money and risk money like that,

74
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 2: you deserve to lose. Yeah, losing that bet is like

75
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: betting the under. And if you're a football gambler, you

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: know this failing. You bet the under and it's like

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 2: twenty one ten in the first quarter and you're like,

78
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: you got this ain't gonna work.

79
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: You know. The secret weapon for the Pacers, Iowa, Sam,

80
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: you're gonna like this stat the Pacers playoff record with

81
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark in attendance eight.

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: No, they finally won a game three too, Yeah, series

83
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: finally won one. So maybe she is the good luck Charmiawha, Sam,

84
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: You're onto something there, I think so.

85
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: Man, so a.

86
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: Big night for the Pacers and man, just okay, see

87
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: was so dominant all season long, SGA MVP. You're thinking

88
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: that they got this easy and it doesn't look that

89
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: way as of now, but hey, we'll see. Please if

90
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: you don't think that OKAC comes back in Game four

91
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: ties it up. Listen, there might be I think they will.

92
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: There might be all these Jabbronis that are like Swolborg team.

93
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: This is gonna go seven and we are gonna get

94
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: some thrills. There's no way one of these teams just

95
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: closes it out because of anything. You imagine that the

96
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: thunder will find the way. SGA didn't have a great game.

97
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: They just and the bench won that game for the Pacers.

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 2: So and we said it from the start, Yes, small

99
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 2: market team might equal bad ratings for the NBA, but

100
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean we're not going to have a battle

101
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: for the real fans. Actually, Karen want to tune in.

102
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: So that's what we're getting so far. I'm digging it.

103
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: And that's the misconception. I saw someone hit us up

104
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: on Twitter yesterday with that same dumb debates and that

105
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: we were insinuating it's not a good finals because of

106
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 2: the small market teams. No, no, we've never said that.

107
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: What we've said is the networks don't like it, but

108
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 2: the true NBA basketball fans are going to get a

109
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 2: great series.

110
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 3: Before the Finals started, we pointed out it was a

111
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: great matchup. Yeah, it's I was and I thought it

112
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 3: was going to be fast paced and a lot of

113
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 3: energy on the floor, and that's what we've got.

114
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right.

115
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: I just pointed out that who cares about the networks,

116
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 2: but they're the ones that are like, oh no, I'm

117
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 2: in Oklahoma. One thing Jason McIntyre said on The Herd,

118
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,799
Speaker 2: it's the lack of star power where the casual fans

119
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: sort of tune out. Therefore and small market, therefore the

120
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 2: ratings will be down. But the Great NBA Finals, you

121
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: could argue that SGA doesn't appear to be the guy

122
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 2: that carries that lebron Steph Curry torch, because if he were,

123
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: then we'd be excited about the beginning of a of

124
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: a dynasty right now, Dann Bayer.

125
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: And guys, just just a heads up with that.

126
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 4: Cavino could have referenced me saying it on his own

127
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: show yesterday, but he chose to use Jason McIntire on

128
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 4: a completely different show on Fox Sports.

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: You know what your cavin Yeah, well, we'll see. Not

130
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 2: not too sure, Dan, consider it me keeping you on

131
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: your toes.

132
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: Attention? Is that what it is? Oh man?

133
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 4: You know, I remember Mike Harmon always telling me how

134
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: his dad always said.

135
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Step kissing is you know? What do you mean?

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weeknights on Fox Sports

137
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: Radio seven Pacific.

138
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,119
Speaker 1: Hell, I'm just making sure you were listening. That's that's okay.

139
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: He's testing you, Dans testing.

140
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 2: You're right, it is. It's a lack of star power.

141
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: But guys like Hallim Burton are stepping up. There are

142
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: bench players like you said, that are stepping up. You're

143
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 2: still going to get a battle, so don't be sleeping

144
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: on it. And again, hope you had a PACER's night.

145
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: They're up two to one and then you got your

146
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: Game four on Friday. In Game four NHL tonight, well,

147
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup again another series that could be tied up

148
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: at the end of tonight. That's two to one right now,

149
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. I do have to selfishly check

150
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: in with my guy, Dan Byer. He's slowly becoming a

151
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: Rich Davis guy. I can tell how's how's my dude

152
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: code saying his hamstring.

153
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: So this is all that we know.

154
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: MRI scheduled for tomorrow after injuring it today. It came

155
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 4: that they almost gave away after his injury.

156
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: No the Mets are hot. They won six in zwo

157
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: best record in baseball, and I hate Soto heating up.

158
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: I hate it. I can see it. Sodo, he's got

159
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: that look in his eye. I hate him.

160
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: Give you don't hate Soto so because you could feel

161
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: it happening you just as a Yankees fans sitting there

162
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: watching like, oh no, here, I'll tell.

163
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: You he's doing for the Mets.

164
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: That thing he did that I admired so much when

165
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: he was on your Yankees, where he swings through a pitch,

166
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: looks at the pitcher and he gives him a okay,

167
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: like I figured you out, and nextitch hits a rocket.

168
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: I remember him doing that on the Yankees in the

169
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: postseason last year, saying, yo, that is ridiculous. But you

170
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: know what that ties into what we're saying about the

171
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: Pacers and the magic that they're finding able to figure

172
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: it out, like oh, okay, I got you now. And

173
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: that's what Soto's saying to the picture in that moment,

174
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: and that's what the Pacers are able to do. They're

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: able to adjust and make the changes to be like,

176
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 2: you know what, we figured it out, we got it now,

177
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna win and We've seen that, man, that's been

178
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: the difference, and it's working for your boy Wan Soto

179
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 2: too right now. Well his click and it's clicking. I'm

180
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 2: gonna credit our very own Damn Bayer. I'm not gonna,

181
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: you know, shout out another show like you, because I

182
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 2: respect Dan Byer, thank you very much.

183
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: But it was just Dan yesterday who said rich, a.

184
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: Plethora of starting pitching cannot be a bad thing for

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: your team, Because I said, the Mets got guys like

186
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 2: Frankie Mantas and Manaya coming back.

187
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: Where are they gonna make room?

188
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 2: Hey listen, If Senga knock on what hopefully has like

189
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 2: a mild hamstring hamstring strain, you miss a starter or two,

190
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: you put in Blackburn or Mantes when he comes back.

191
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: So I think this is where you see that depth

192
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 2: is never a bad thing, especially in starting.

193
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: It will be an ile stint, yeah for sure, but

194
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 4: just how long we don't know yet.

195
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 2: It's two weeks and he misses two to three starts.

196
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 2: Hey listen, he has a league leading one point four

197
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: to seven ERA, so Sainga's health down the line way

198
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 2: more important than rushing him back, especially when the Mets

199
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: have again a pretty decent depth at the starting pitching position.

200
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 1: And you know what, could you know?

201
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: On top of all that, there are rumors that come

202
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 2: trade deadline, it could be your Yankees or my Mets

203
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: that bring Jacob de Gram back to New York. Have

204
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: you seen those rumors? Yeah, I mean it could happen.

205
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: I'll say this, as much as I want to hate

206
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: on your Yankees. In a playoff series, if you had

207
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: Max Freed and Jacob de Gram won two punch.

208
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: You know what, I give that a James Hetfield.

209
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I imagine if you had Garrett Cale too.

210
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 2: But then again, he's not a big playoff guy. He

211
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 2: has stumbled in the playoffs. But this might be his

212
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: chance to show that he's got it. He could earn

213
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: that ring because Rich's biggest criticism about the Grams. He

214
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: left the Mets to win with the Rangers, but he

215
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: really didn't play with the Rangers. No, I'm saying, de

216
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: Gram's a big game pitcher. Garrett Cole oh Coley, Yeah, yeah,

217
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: he hasn't been. So I'm saying when you lost Cole,

218
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people said, well, how can the Yankees.

219
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 2: They're gonna win ninety games, They'll make the playoffs. But

220
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: the Yankees got to do something to make the fact

221
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: that they lost Garrett Cole. Except big moves don't come cheap,

222
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: so you might have to lose a Jason Dominguez or

223
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: something like that, a high young prospect or play. Well,

224
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: if you don't know what I'm talking about, I'll wrap

225
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: up the baseball talk quick with. Earlier today, the Mets

226
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: continued their they're winning ways and on a ground ball

227
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: to first base, Code Senga, mets ace Cy young level

228
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: candidate this year, runs over to first base to cover

229
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: Pete Alonzo, who's been errant with his throws here and there.

230
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 1: You saw it.

231
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 2: Against your Yankees. Yeah, he tosses the ball a little

232
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 2: high to Senga and you see him over extend the

233
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: leg and he comes down and starts rolling on the

234
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:13,079
Speaker 2: floor and.

235
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, no, come scaring, Come on. He walks

236
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: off the field.

237
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: So they're hoping it's just mild, but yet happens all

238
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 2: the time in sports. You just help you up depth,

239
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: all right, Hey, the number eight seven, seven, nine nine

240
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: on Fox. I don't know if it's working right now,

241
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,319
Speaker 2: so give it a shot later if you want, we'll

242
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: play a game. Maybe we'll do something to give away

243
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: some prize, but we got a lot doing today. Yeah,

244
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: speaking of reichbaw and it's not just baseball. This applies

245
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 2: to all of sports, but especially baseball because baseball is

246
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 2: the longest schedule.

247
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: There was an article from the Athletic.

248
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 2: New York Times dot com Athletic about how one hundred

249
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: and thirty ballplayers were interviewed and surveyed, and he went

250
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 2: over the miss concepcions.

251
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: That's the real pronunciation. I never get surveyed. Have you

252
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: ever been surveyed? Never?

253
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 2: Has anyone ever come up to you and said, survey

254
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 2: says minus Rich Davis.

255
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: Family feud ratings, TV radio. Has anyone ever surveyed you politics?

256
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,319
Speaker 2: You know they'd be like, this guy's leading in the

257
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 2: political polls.

258
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: No one's asked me, crap I only skipped surveys. Would

259
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: you like to skip survey? Yes?

260
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: If I know it was for family feud, it'd be like,

261
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: sign me up. You know that's true, right, you do

262
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: skip it? So that's probably it. You probably aren't asked Rich,

263
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: but anyway, the athlete man.

264
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 4: That's what all those Netflix and YouTube things, they're actually

265
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 4: for family feud and we're just skipping them.

266
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: Damn. Yeah, man, I never surveys. Survey says, well, could

267
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: you know?

268
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: Survey says there's a lot of ballplayers out there that

269
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 2: are saying there's a lot of misconceptions.

270
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: Of what it's like to be a big leaguer.

271
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 2: Now, again, if you're not a baseball fan, it doesn't

272
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: matter because this applies to all professional sports. And my

273
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 2: question right off the gate is do you feel bad

274
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: for the love?

275
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to have sympathy.

276
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 2: Goes back to the jay Z thing when these guys

277
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: are making millions of.

278
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: Dollars in living the dream.

279
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: Say all professional sports, you include hot dog eating or

280
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: now of course, yeah, make sure if I could put

281
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Joey Chesnut in this conversation, I mean, of course, it's

282
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: the tough side of sports. That's basically what they're talking

283
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 2: about in this new article, the challenges and the misconceptions

284
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: of what it's like to be a big leaguer. Many

285
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: baseball players can recognize the privilege that they have of

286
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,839
Speaker 2: playing the sport for a living, but every job, your

287
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 2: job people in the NBA, NFL, and EHL, MLB has

288
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: its share of challenges. Our life is awesome, but it's

289
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: not as easy as people think it is. Yeah, money

290
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: and celebrity and hitting home runs and playing a kids game.

291
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: It's fun, but it's not all it's cut out to be.

292
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: That's what they're saying. And they go over some of

293
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: the things that some people sometimes forget about. And I'm wondering, again, do.

294
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: You feel bad? Do you keep these things in mind?

295
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Or do you not care at all?

296
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Get out there and play, and get out there and

297
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 2: win because you're compensated fairly for it.

298
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: Look at it this way.

299
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 2: The other day, I forgot what the conversation was because

300
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: we talk about a million things every day. We're the

301
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: most not only interactive, but we cover so much in

302
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: this two hour span. The other day, we were just

303
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: talking about how no matter what your job is, you're

304
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: gonna have moments where it sucks. Remember I even reference like,

305
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 2: you could be an adult film star and be like, man, today,

306
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 2: I gotta go to me and four women. There's even

307
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: dudes in the adult industry that are like, man, I

308
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: hate my job today. No matter what you do. You

309
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 2: could be a starting quarterback in the NFL, and there's

310
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: days we're like, man, just stink, saying dude, you're.

311
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: A quarre hay.

312
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: That's life, right, But their life is not all sunshine

313
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: and rainbows. As the great Rocky Bilboa said, I mean, dude,

314
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: think about presidents of the United States. You talk about

315
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: is there any more of an honor than being the president?

316
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: And you always see those before and after pictures of Obama, Clinton, Bush,

317
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 2: and Trump Like you a four years later, you look

318
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: like old man clements anytime. They always they often compare

319
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: like manager of the Yankees the same way too. I mean,

320
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: any coach, sure, big league manager. It's highly stressful. You're

321
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: putting wear and tear and age on your body, dealing

322
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: with the media, dealing with the day to day grind.

323
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: So the athletic covers MLB players and the biggest misconceptions

324
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 2: about travel and missing family events. Now, Danny g sam

325
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 2: byer Rich, this whole thing was done anonymously, though I

326
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 2: don't know how you feel about that.

327
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: I like it.

328
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: Like that.

329
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: I like it because, uh, people will not be scared

330
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: to give a real answer, because if let's say, Bryce

331
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: Harper or Mike Trout or Pete A. Lonzo or some

332
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: big star said something, you might be like, oh you okay,

333
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 2: cry baby. I bet you want, Soto set all of

334
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: this stuff. That's you love one soda. I cool were here,

335
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 2: but I missed my family. I bet just Soto said

336
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: all this I that's my guest. I feel like, before

337
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: we even get into this, I'm gonna have way more sympathy. Okay,

338
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: socause you're a like work, work, work type of guy.

339
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: I'll give you some of the examples. Well, you gotta

340
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: keep in mind, Rich, they're playing a kid's game. They're

341
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 2: living the dream. These are the players blessed from the

342
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: gods that actually made it. Every young boy all over

343
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 2: the world, especially here in America, pick up a bat

344
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: and like, you know what, even before you have the

345
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: stupid thought of I'm gonna be an astronaut, you're like,

346
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:36,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play in the big leagues.

347
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fireman.

348
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play in the NFL. They're living the dream

349
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: and they're getting paid millions of dollars, women, celebrity mansions,

350
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: fast cars.

351
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: They got it all.

352
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: But they're saying there is a tough side. And one

353
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: of the things that comes up is, dude, I missed

354
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: my mind. I'm seventeen birthdays in a row. I didn't

355
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: even get to celebrate with my mom. Missed his family's

356
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 2: birthday seventeen years in a row is one.

357
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: Of the stories.

358
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: And forget about your mom, even though time with your

359
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: mom and dad is limited, and that's important. Part of

360
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: that is missing your own kids' birthdays and missing them

361
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: grow up. So that's that's a big, big factor for

362
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 2: all professional sports because you're traveling all the time.

363
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: And that's another thing. The travel.

364
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: There seems to be a giant misconception of yeah, they

365
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: got on a plane, whoop dee doo. But the wear

366
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 2: and tear that it takes on your body to recover,

367
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: the packing up every week, that no one ever factors in.

368
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: And when you think about what a dragon is to

369
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: pack up, like even if you're going to the sweetest destination,

370
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 2: you know you put off packing to the last minute

371
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 2: because it sucks. They have to do that every basically

372
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: every other week. Yeah, if not every week. So traveling,

373
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: packing up, missing birthdays, the feeling of their letting people down.

374
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: This was another big one too. They see their time

375
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: is so limited. It's like they gotta get out there

376
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 2: take some batting practice. They see these kids and they

377
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: want to sign autographs and everything but you know what,

378
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: they gotta get out, they gotta get ready, they gotta pack,

379
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: they gotta get on a flight, they got to get

380
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 2: into the clubhouse and get ready. They don't have time

381
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 2: for all that. So they feel like they're letting kids

382
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 2: down all the time. They come across as arrogant, and

383
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: that's never how they want to be perceived, but that's

384
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 2: how they are left feeling, and that's how people talk

385
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: about them on social media, which is a whole other

386
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: aspect of the misconceptions and downside of everything that we

387
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: seem to glorify. I saw something in this athletic article

388
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: that hit me, which was, yeah, you missed some birthdays

389
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,879
Speaker 2: and events for your kids. One of the anonymous players

390
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 2: said he hasn't been to the wedding of a family

391
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: member or friend in a decade because weddings are always

392
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 2: usually what spring and summer or fall weekends, and if

393
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: you're playing and your team mixed the postseason, you're not

394
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: go into a wedding. You you are missing every wedding

395
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 2: unless it's in a little couple month window because there.

396
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: Might be a good thing. Been to some weddings where

397
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: you didn't want to be there.

398
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 2: Danny I don't want to do the disappoint thank you.

399
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 2: I'm a huge wedding fan. I love going as.

400
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Not surprised me.

401
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: I love Rich shows off his electric slide. I love drinking,

402
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 2: I love dancing, I love seeing love. I love a wedding. Well,

403
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: speaking of summers, Rich, when these weddings go down anonymously,

404
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: of course, I haven't had a summer since I was

405
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: eight or nine years old. Line now, okay to say

406
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 2: that yet that that's a big one. You haven't had

407
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: a summer since you were eight or nine. But you

408
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 2: have probably some sort of built in pull, some sort

409
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 2: of grotto, probably in your own backyard, you know, diving

410
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: off of I'm sure you're able to use it from here,

411
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 2: here and there. I mean, can we go back to

412
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 2: the travel really quick? They're saying it's way more of

413
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 2: a grind than we could ever imagine.

414
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 3: I understand that it takes some out of you to travel,

415
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: but I feel bad for players way back in the

416
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: day who traveled commercial, who traveled on broken down buses.

417
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 3: Nowadays they are in the lap of luxury. These teams

418
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 3: really take good care of them. And in your life

419
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: as a famous athlete, you have a lot of people

420
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 3: trying to help you, Like if you watch The Starting

421
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 3: Five on Netflix, Anthony Edwards, his uncle did all of

422
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 3: his packing for him for every trip, and Anthony Edwards

423
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: threw him some money. He said every other week. He

424
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,479
Speaker 3: gave him some money for helping out. These guys are

425
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: not doing this on their own. Some of them might be,

426
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 3: but a lot of them have the family support. Do

427
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: their wives have to grind and do a nine to

428
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: five like our wives do. I'm sure they're there to support.

429
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: Well, Dan, I'm glad you brought that up too, And

430
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 2: you're right, there's a flip side, right, hey man, you

431
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: got the money to make all these things happen. But

432
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: think of the pressure you're putting on your significant other

433
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 2: who signed up for this lifestyle. Right, But that puts

434
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: a major strain on your relationship. So not only are

435
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 2: you missing out on time with your kids, major strain

436
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: on any relationship in your life. That's why hate to

437
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: quote him, but he did it all right, he did everything.

438
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 3: There's more strain not having money to pay your bills

439
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: and your significant other having strust.

440
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people say absence makes the

441
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 2: heart grow fonder. It sometimes makes the heart grow colder,

442
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: and that wife, that significant other starts getting bitter towards

443
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 2: you not being there, and she's picking up all the

444
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 2: slack while you're hitting home runs. I agree, being broke

445
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: is worse than missing someone in so many cases. But

446
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 2: you know, the guy who had the greatest blueprint to life,

447
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 2: Derek Jeter, didn't get married, didn't have kids, didn't do

448
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 2: any of these things until his career was over.

449
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: And as if I was a professional athlete, I think

450
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 3: I would wait as well.

451
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 2: There's still other things to get to the downside. Because

452
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: we do we glorified every day. What are some of

453
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 2: those other things that maybe we have a misconception of.

454
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 2: It's all in this article from The Athletic, and we'll

455
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: get to it. Noxt I think about it, and I'm

456
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 2: going to read our feedback at Coven and Rich.

457
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: Well, the question is do you have any sympathy? I do?

458
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: I do? I do?

459
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: I listen because I know it's a big thing to say, well,

460
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: put money aside, because money is such a big part

461
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: of it. It's like it's telling you to put the

462
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: biggest element aside, you know, put aside the fifty million

463
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 2: dollars you're making in the NBA. That's hard to put

464
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: a side, but being away from your family, that's a

465
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 2: price tag of its own.

466
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: Right, it is, and it's a sacrifice.

467
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the unsung heroes are the guys

468
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 2: that travel with these teams that aren't paid that.

469
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 1: Way podcasters do that.

470
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 2: I think about it all the time, Like, don't you

471
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: wonder how Michael Guys like Michael K have a life.

472
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: We have a buddy that works with the WWE.

473
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 2: We have friends that work for the NBA or like baseball,

474
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 2: like Steve Gelbs and Gary Cohen and these guys that

475
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: they're going on every road trip. To me, some of

476
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 2: those jobs seem so cool. Oh man, that must be awesome.

477
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: I don't think I would ever want to do it.

478
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 2: You're sacrificing a lot.

479
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't think that ballplayers are the only

480
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 4: profession that travels. No, So like there's others that were CEOs,

481
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: and people are flying across country and doing this and that.

482
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: People in sales and they're making.

483
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 2: A fraction of the money right absolutely, And they're not

484
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 2: playing a kids game and they're doing.

485
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: It year round.

486
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 4: And that's the one place where I have like sympathy

487
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 4: and empathy is where you just you don't get a

488
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: day like very rare, like you get a day off,

489
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 4: but that day off maybe like, hey, we're traveling to

490
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 4: Baltimore because we got to start a three game set

491
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 4: at that point to sit there and always have to

492
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 4: be there and in baseball player mode for five straight

493
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 4: months or waiting up at least to the All Star break.

494
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: At breaking in the All Star breaks, like three days. Yes,

495
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 2: and we make it seem like they got a month off.

496
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: Dann Buyer again, amazing point. And I'll tell you why

497
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: you can see nay because Dan's right. Yes, we we

498
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: do our show here on Fox Sports Trading on Friday.

499
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: We don't do our other podcast on Fridays. We have

500
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 2: so sort of like a half day. We just do

501
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,879
Speaker 2: this show. Then we have Friday nights, Saturday Sunday, and

502
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 2: we sometimes be like, man, that wasn't enough to refresh.

503
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: Dann Buyer's right. A baseball player has a Monday.

504
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 2: Or Thursday off, but you know, in that day usually

505
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: spend a lot of playing. There's a flip side, like

506
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 2: danyg pointed out before, they also have youth on their side.

507
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 2: So tell me when you were in your early twenties

508
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: in early thirties, in the prime of your career, you

509
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 2: weren't putting in the extra work, the extra hours, the

510
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: extra grind. It's kind of what they're doing for the

511
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 2: rest of their life because they have the rest of

512
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: their adult life to sort of chill their careers all over.

513
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 4: At forty, I traveled for college football early at my

514
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 4: time here at Fox Sports radios, every weekend at a

515
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 4: different game and usually on the other.

516
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:34,959
Speaker 1: Side of the country.

517
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 4: We're grinding, it was, but it was every weekend, so

518
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: I'd come back, fly back on a Sunday, leave again

519
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: on a Thursday, and it was the same way. Circle

520
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 4: through the one week where they're like, we do We're

521
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 4: not going to a game that weekend, We're not coming.

522
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: It was amazing.

523
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: It was like it was worth the world to not

524
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 4: just go on a plane that one weekend after doing

525
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: it for ten straight weeks.

526
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if you've noticed because of our industry,

527
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: Dan Buyer, I'm sure you follow a lot of broadcasters

528
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: and your you know, acquaintances with folks that work for Fox, ESPN, NBC.

529
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 2: You do you do notice that once the season ends,

530
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 2: they all go on like three week vacation with their

531
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: with their family like you always see like, oh, there's

Speaker 2: Kevin Burkhard on a you know, on a vacation for

533
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: three weeks, or hey, there's this guy, you know why Cavino,

534
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Because they put so much time in that when that

535
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: season ends, it's it's you know, they have the only

536
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 2: time of the year to do what they want to

537
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: do exactly. And there's more reasons that you might feel

538
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 2: a little bad for them or not at all. Are

578
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 2: Pacers taking the game last night. One sixteen, one oh

579
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 2: seven ran away with it in the fourth. Talked about

580
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: that and in the world of professional sports, it's a

581
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 2: glorified business. They get paid like rock stars, they're living

582
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: the life. But in a recent article from The Athletic,

583
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 2: they anonymously interviewed about one hundred and thirty big leaguers

584
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 2: and man, they were all talking about the dark side,

585
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 2: the downside of how tough it is to be a

586
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: professional athlete, especially.

587
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: In the world of baseball.

588
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: And we can't really fault them like it does sound

589
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: like wah, because life's tough and no one has it

590
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: really that much better than them. And are we gonna

591
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: fault grown men for opening up when they asked? Yeah,

592
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: they were asked, And how often do people say, why

593
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 2: can't men have feelings too?

594
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: Men have right?

595
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: Like, we're gonna crucify these guys for opening up for once.

596
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: It's not like they complain all the time. That's what

597
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: this article was about. You know what, Danny g has

598
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: great thoughts. He's on the phones on our one phone

620
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: Yes, that was Chris Farley in the Dirty Work classic.

621
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, just hey, that was on this day in ninety eight.

622
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: If you're not catching it, he hit the wrong song

623
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 2: on the jukebox, so they have a full on brawl

624
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: at the bar to this song.

625
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: Pinakolada song.

626
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: Rupert Holmes, Now, Rich what I was about to say

627
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 2: to give this story some more juice. Yeah, it's missing

628
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: your kids growing up. It's the traveling, it's not being there.

629
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: But they also express that even when your family's in town,

630
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 2: they're there to support you, but you don't have time

631
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: for them because you're obligated to be there at practice.

632
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: Like your schedule doesn't align with everything they're doing. Your

633
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: hours are always off, and we can't forget the struggle

634
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: that they all put in just to be there, with

635
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 2: the minor league salaries and things like that. Can I

636
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: give you the weakest mild comparison.

637
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: Sure.

638
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 2: Next weekend we're going to be having a big event

639
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 2: in Vegas. The head count is getting a little out

640
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: of control. Keep them coming. I'm excited. This could be

641
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: our biggest party we've ever had. My wife's coming, bro,

642
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: all seven of my kids are coming, Danny. I already

643
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: told my wife, like, I'm probably not gonna talk too much.

644
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all have to divine because.

645
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: We're going to be schmoozing and being thankful for the

646
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 2: listeners and support. So I said, honey, yeah, and so

647
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 2: it's like a wedding that's like a small microcosm of the.

648
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: The what you still they still get to give you

649
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 3: a hug. What about our military?

650
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: That's true? Oh yes, you don't get to go visit

651
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: your your mom or dad when they're in the military.

652
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: That's also chosen. There's no draft. They choose that life.

653
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: You chose the professional sports life as well.

654
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 2: How many people in this country are checked to check right?

655
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: So a lot of people reading this and.

656
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: Like yeah, so a lot of people are like, oh,

657
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: you didn't get to go to the wedding.

658
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 5: Wow.

659
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: And I do sympathize with a lot of their schedule

660
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: and a lot of the struggles. It's gotta be tough.

661
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 2: But like dany g said, they made that choice. They're

662
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: living that life. But please keep in mind too, the

663
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 2: flip side here is these dudes are done at forty.

664
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: Something years old.

665
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 2: They got the rest of their life to do everything else.

666
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 2: That's not the case for the average American person. You

667
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 2: keep saying it like the rest of your life is guaranteed,

668
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: and oh, you're gonna live to ninety and have a

669
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 2: healthy lung, which that's a better you would this a

670
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: better lottery draw grab than what regular people have, you know,

671
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,959
Speaker 2: to compare it to a celebrity couple. That's why it

672
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: was very talked about when Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift

673
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: seem to go above and beyond to be there for

674
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: each other, which got a lot of eye rolls, but

675
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: a lot of attention because you know, he's going to

676
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: Japan showing up to a game. She in between her

677
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 2: tour stops are like, you know, I don't I love

678
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 2: this dude? She's thinking, I gotta go see him, And

679
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: when you really think about those two easy to mock.

680
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 2: But that's what made them such an interesting story last year.

681
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: Right.

682
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: I think the takeaway here is, yes, these guys are

683
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 2: living the life in all professional sports.

684
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: They really are. They're living the dream.

685
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 2: And they were asked by the way what the setback is.

686
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: It's not all fun. It's not all sunshine and rainbows.

687
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: Not to repeat myself, but it's just not all glamour

688
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 2: and glitz. There's a lot of downside.

689
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 1: I would say it's like a movie set.

690
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 3: Covino like, we put actors and actresses up on a pedestal. Yeah,

691
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: but there's so much downtime, you know, it's to hurry

692
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: up and wait life exactly. They're around, they're sing out

693
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 3: on time with the Yes, their lives are very interesting.

694
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 3: We see the finished product, right, but we're we're not

695
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 3: there during the grind of it all.

696
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 2: So and truthfully, we don't care. So they have to

697
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 2: deal with that too. So nobody cares that. You know,

698
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 2: we play one hundred and sixty two games a year.

699
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: We don't, We really don't. But this article's trying to

700
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 2: express that. Hey, man, it's not as easy as we think. Yeah,

701
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: let's go to my favorite news anchor, maybe not Covinos,

702
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 2: Damn Bayer.

703
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: What's going on? Man?

704
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 4: When Manzi's here in an hour, I know that answer

705
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: may change, but since he's not here, I'll take it

706
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 4: right now, buddy, Right now. At the US Open, there

707
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,640

Speaker 4: course right now, but two over through thirteen holes. A

716
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 4: couple of other notables. Jordan Speth is one under par

717
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 4: through fourteen holes and currently three shots back in the lead.

718

Speaker 4: series two games to one. New York Rangers traded Chris

724
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 4: Crowder to the Anaheim Ducks today. While in baseball, Met's

725
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 4: got that win against the Nationals for to three, but

726
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,360
Speaker 4: Pitcherkodei Singa likely heading to the injured list because of

727
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 4: a hamstring strain. Met say he'll get an MRI tomorrow.

728
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 4: Rangers right of the Twins sixteen to three. Rocky's trying

729
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 4: to come back against the giantspur running out of time

730
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 4: seven to five right now in the bottom of the

731
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 4: eighth inning in favor of San Francisco Steelers said coach

732
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin said today that he's optimistic they get a

733
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 4: deal done with TJ. Watt, who was sitting out mandatory

734
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: mini camp because he wants a new deal. In ESPN

735
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 4: reports that there's some traction on a possible Kevin Durant

736
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 4: trey from the Phoenix Suns. In fact, Sham's Sharania says

737
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 4: that teams are motivated to get a deal done prior

738
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 4: to the NBA Draft, which is less than two weeks away.

739
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: Guys, back to you.

740
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 2: Ye, thank you Dan Again, we're Cavino and Rich and

741
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 2: I thought of one more thing.

742
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: Rich recently on over promised you.

743
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 2: Remember we discussed something that Aaron Judge said that he'd

744
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 2: never said before, that he never leaves his hotel room

745
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 2: when he's on the road. So something else we don't

746
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: think about is the fame and celebrity that they're sort

747
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 2: of prisoner too.

748
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 1: A lot of these guys can't even go wout and

749
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: live life. Some of the superstars can't. It's Frankenstein.

750
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: Oh wait, no, it's Aaron Judge, you know, but it

751
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 2: could be a lonely sort of existence when you're there

752
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: and you can't even leave your hotel. So the point is, sometimes,

753
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: according to this athletic article, sports aren't always professional.

754
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: Sports aren't always what they're cut out to be.

755
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 2: But you're gonna get sympathy from the very from you.

756
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: No one will care at oh Ali, Well, listen, coming up,

757
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,359
Speaker 2: we're gonna go old school in fifty hits. Start thinking

758
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 2: about this very funny meme. Things that were in your

759
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 2: classroom in the eighties and nineties that are just not

760
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: there anymore. Something you would find in schools back in

761
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 2: the day. You know, when you realize this when your

762
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 2: kid has like an open house and you go to

763
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: visit and you're like, what.

764
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: The hell try a race. Sports. Yeah, it's going on here.

765
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that.

766
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: We'll go old school talk, some NBA finals, baseball football,

767
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:41,160
Speaker 2: all your fun here on Cavino and Rich Yeah, Live

768
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,240
Speaker 2: from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.

769
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 1: It's time you guys ready for the TI Rack play

770
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: of the day. Bring it Indiana.

771
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: I got it going in the fourth quarter last night.

772
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:55,200

Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number.

803
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 5: Now.

804
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: You got to realize that this week out here.

805
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: In California, Yeah, lots of protests and lots of craziness, right,

806
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 2: but school also wrapped up this week here in La Fools,

807
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,280
Speaker 2: look at me, and school is pretty much winding down

808
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: through everyone else in this country next Friday, the first

809
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 2: official day of summer. Yeah, kids are graduating out here

810
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 2: in La. So we're starting to think about school time

811
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 2: and the end of school and something that you would

812
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 2: find in schools in the eighties and nineties that you

813
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't find today, that's the question. So think back, put

814
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 2: yourself in your grade school, high school classroom. Something I

815
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: used to see there then that you don't see now

816
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 2: that your kids are like, I don't know what you're

817
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,399
Speaker 2: talking about. So many things come to mind. I'm gonna

818
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,000
Speaker 2: give you one. I'll get the obvious one out the gate,

819
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 2: out the way. You think there's a number one answer,

820
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: I mean one that you know you're just not seeing anymore.

821
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: You know what that is?

822
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: That old as TV with the VCR on that roller,

823
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: and it was like I had like a rope around it.

824
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 2: They always call this genius from the AV club in

825
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 2: there and it has Yeah, it has that stupid rope

826
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 2: or that stupid heart. It's like a harness to keep

827
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 2: it on the stand, had wheels on. No one knows

828
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 2: how to really use it ever.

829
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 3: Or the teacher would pick two students to go wheel

830
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 3: it in.

831
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so funny, But I don't think that's the

832
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: number one answer. I think that's a great answer that

833
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 2: we all remember. And unfortunately that's how a lot of

834
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 2: us saw the Challenger, and you know, pivotal moments nine

835
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: to eleven for some younger kids, someone wheeled it in

836
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: that old ass TV wheeled in with the VCR and

837
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: again there was that like harness rope that kept it

838
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,360
Speaker 2: all together.

839
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about, man.

840
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 2: I think the number one answer on the board is

841
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 2: the shock you feel when you go to your kids

842
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: classroom for open house or whatever, and you realize that

843
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 2: there's no more chalkboards. There's no more chalk or chalkboards.

844
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 2: You're like, say, guy, you have dry erase boards.

845
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: So what kid gets to go bang out to the erasers?

846
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 3: That feeling on your fingers one your dad wouldn't appreciate.

847
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the school year, we got an

848
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 3: email from the district saying no more vending machines on campus.

849
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh wow, something we all lived off the vending machine.

850
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 2: Sure, so things that you saw in schools in the

851
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 2: classroom eighties, nineties that aren't there anymore. I'll give you

852
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:47,840
Speaker 2: another one. I don't want to steal anyone else's answer,

853
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 2: but you know what I'll tell you next.

854
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: How about that
