Today's news is that Dave Roberts 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: has made some switches. 30 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 4: He has he has coming into tonight's Game five. Again, 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 4: whoever wins game five when it's two and two? 32 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: If you hit me with a percent, you have to 33 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: win it the time. I'm sick, you know, you know 34 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: everyone has been since seventy right, everyone sixty nine? If 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: you know the winner of game one sixty nine percent, 36 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: winner of Game three s alright, I don't want to 37 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: hear any more. 38 00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 4: So the big story coming into game five is that 39 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 4: the Dodgers, outside of Otani cannot hit the ball at all. 40 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 4: They haven't been hitting as a team all playoffs. They're 41 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 4: batting two to fourteen in this World Series, all right. 42 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 4: Worst of all, the quartet of Mookie bets Andy Pie 43 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 4: has Tommy Edmond Key k Hernandez batting a combined one 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 4: forty seven. As a result, Dave Roberts making some wholesale 45 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 4: changes to the lineup. Mookie Bets, who's batted second basically 46 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 4: all season, drops down the third, pushes ready for me 47 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 4: down to fourth. Andy pie is out of the lineup altogether. 48 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 4: The Dodgers really moving things around, hoping to get a 49 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: spark offensively. 50 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: You know what, desperation time for the Dodgers and Dave 51 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,559 Speaker 1: Roberts is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. 52 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: Because let's be honest, this is on Andy pie Has. 53 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: Who who's batt it's ninth, This is on him. He's 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: the one who has to come out of the lineup. 55 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 1: Even though the big dogs nobody's hitting. Is it really 56 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: about the Dodgers? They're not even down in this series? 57 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: It's two two, and guess who you have on the mound? 58 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: You have your ace. Blake's now is on the mount 59 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: and you're panicking because of what not? Because of Andy Piez, 60 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: who is a great defensive player and he did have 61 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven home runs Kelvin this year right out of nowhere. 62 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: I'll give you that. He don't have the track record 63 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: that these other guys have. I'll give you that but 64 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: that's the reason you're losing. That you're gonna take him 65 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: out of the lineup. Mookie's not hitting months, he's not hitting. 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: I mean, Freddy's not really hitting. You know, he's had 67 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: the walk off, and Otani other than those two games 68 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: is not hitting like they're really struggling offensively. And I 69 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: just don't stay the course after tonight. You lose tonight. Okay, 70 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm with you. You got your ace on the mound. Stay 71 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: the course. Tonight was not the night. It's just window dressing. 72 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: I disagree. I think it was too I think it's late. 73 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: I think Dave Roberts was riding. Andy Poe has too long. 74 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: He had for fifty at least he's consistent, consistently bad. 75 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: And let me tell you why, I actually wish you 76 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: to say you said in the ninth hole. The reason why, Robzi, 77 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: this is all I know. I'll be dealing with the 78 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: hypocrisy of Rob Parker. Rob Parker said next to me, 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: this entire MLB season going with Brian Kitty. Let me 80 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: tell you something, Brian, those home runs don't matter. They 81 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: don't matter though, those solo home runs. What's you screaming about? 82 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: Old Toddy doesn't get RBIs well, daggd hit the ninth hole, 83 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: wasn't hitting four for fifty. Maybe those home runs would 84 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: have been two run three run home runs. Can the 85 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: man get on the base a little bit? And I'm 86 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: not putting it all on him, But what I'm saying is, 87 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: in my job as David Roberts, what do they call it, 88 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 1: you are a manager, Let me manage this lineup a 89 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: little bit. Let me shake this series to two. It 90 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: is too two, but I'm going on the road for 91 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: two and i gotta make sure we're absolutely poised to 92 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: have a chance to win. And you know what you 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: do towards the end of something. I don't care if 94 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: it's a ball game, I don't care. If it's a fight, 95 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: you scrap, you bite you, You do anything you can 96 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: to win and degge. If it's moving Andy, moving Mookie, 97 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: making some things happen, you have to do that. And 98 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: by the way, if it's also bringing a picture that 99 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: we never expected to come in to close the game 100 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: or to relieve for a little bit. At this point, 101 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: it's all hands on deck. Anything goes. We're trying to 102 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: win a game, a world series title, I should say so. 103 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm with it and in fact again andie Pie has 104 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: had so many chances, Rob even in that eighteen and 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: you're all right, maybe you can get out something. But 106 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: he played two games and it's it's just it's shine. 107 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: But wait a minute, but the times Okay, I'm not 108 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing that he hasn't hit, right, it is 109 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: the other game. But who have they walk show Hay 110 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: to get to mook Okay, wha, Okay, So Mooki is 111 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: a bigger part of this. I think I just saw 112 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: the graphicing he has had a multi hit game since 113 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Game three of the NLCS. I think, like now, he 114 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: struggled and that's a big reason. That's why they keep 115 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: walking show Hey and not pitched. If Mooki was swinging 116 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: the bad there's no way that they could walk show heck. 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: And this is why MLB bro already know that Mooki 118 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 1: is more likely to come back and be Mookie like 119 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 1: than Andy Pye. You running out of games, so we are, 120 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: and that's why you have to start making these change 121 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: And that's to me why I'm going to do whatever 122 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: it takes. And that would be the same thing with 123 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: the Blue Jays or if this were a NBA finals 124 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 1: or in Super Bowl halftime. Well, we're gonna stay. Oh, 125 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: you make adjustments, you make changes, and baseball it's a 126 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: little different. You don't necessarily make adjustments kind of the 127 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: same way that other sports do. Maybe pitching you do. 128 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: We're gonna pitch them a little differently. But this is 129 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: an adjustment, and I'm not mad at it because to me, 130 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: look how far you've gotten not making that many adjustments. Now, 131 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: to me, it's all right, this isn't working. We've tried it. 132 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: Let's make some adjustments to see if we can't finish 133 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: this thing. You got one more here in La, then 134 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: you go on a road to another whole country. 135 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 136 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 2: the nation.

I understand the 238 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,199 Speaker 1: importance of that, and it's always great when people were 239 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: able to do that. So yeah, I totally get the sentiment, man, 240 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: when people that's why that's a story to share. It 241 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: really is.

And that's because 252 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 4: the MLB Players Association did their annual poll where they 253 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 4: had players all across the league and basically every player 254 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 4: got a vote if they wanted to weigh in, and 255 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 4: then if they could, they wanted to ast them most 256 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 4: outstanding player in the n L, most Outstanding in the AL, 257 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 4: Player of the Year, Pitcher of the Year, so on 258 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 4: and so forth, and. 259 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: These are just players. 260 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: No Rob Parker, no Calvin Washington, no Isaac Lohenkron, the 261 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: winner of the NL Most Outstanding Player, Kyle Schwarber, Hello, 262 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 4: the winner of the AL Most Outstanding Player and Major 263 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 4: League Baseball Player of the Year, the big dumper cal Robins. 264 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: Hello? Is this The two biggest stars were the two biggest. 265 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 4: Stats across baseball snubbed by their peers. 266 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Calvin, you know what this is about? Go ahead, what listen? 267 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: I want you to go that MLB players simply prove 268 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: the conversation you and I have had in the NBA 269 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: over of the sports. They prove that they can also 270 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: be player haters as well. Because this doesn't make any sense. 271 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: There's no rationale behind it. And again I hate when 272 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:19,599 Speaker 1: you have to do this, rock because you know what 273 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: you have to do. You got to poop pool the 274 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: other guy, like as if you know you're not saying 275 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: that those guys And that's what makes that's what these 276 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: types of things make you do, is you have to poop. 277 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: You end up having to poo pool the other guy. 278 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: And so I'm Kyle Schobert, a very good player. You 279 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: sit up here every day, you know one of the 280 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: things you complain about about oldany and his greatness. One 281 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 1: one of the things you first go to's bat in 282 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: two eighty too forty. That's the player of the year. 283 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: That's the player of the year. We sit up here 284 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: and talk about old Tony can be a little better 285 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: to eighty to forty, and that's the guy you have 286 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: over him. Not to mention aside from home runs and 287 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: RBIs a lot of that we go to the bottom 288 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: of the lineup for the Dodgers. But every other metric 289 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,719 Speaker 1: was in favor of Otani, every other metric, any other 290 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,679 Speaker 1: thing you wanted to look at at all, on base 291 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: slugging percentage, all these other metrics things. The only one 292 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: he had was that you have one more home runn 293 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: he had. He had fifty six. Otani had fifty five. 294 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: That was the same thing. And he had more RBIs. 295 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: He did have a significant more RB I think, like 296 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: round thirty more rbrs. But the man pitched in fourteen 297 00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: games like he And again I'm not saying Shore is 298 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: a scrub, but the idea that he was bat no 299 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: one believes that. And what happens Robert the same thing 300 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 1: with Aaron Judge. Now that one's closer because I think 301 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: they're gonna see what happens with the MVP vote. But 302 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: I think what happens man, players want to crown the 303 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: new like oh, man, I don't know. I like what 304 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: Kyle's doing over there, like, oh look at that, Like 305 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: let me find something a little new at cob Hey. 306 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: I'm just saying he bawling because there's no other reason 307 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: that you would say that got on the metric. And 308 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 1: I think there is a little bit of player heteration 309 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: where they're like, I'm tired of that. Aaron Judge is 310 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: already won in a million old Tony's wonder a million 311 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: he I Or if you have beef with the guy, 312 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you're in a division and you guys 313 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: go battle back and forth. You like, man, I ain't 314 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: giving this dude no more love because I have to 315 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: quote my guy Rob Parker on this. It's we talk 316 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: about all the time. It's like when Lebron got a 317 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: handful of votes best player in the NBA a decade ago. 318 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 1: Maybe now I get it, Okay, ten years ago he 319 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 1: got a very handful of votes for who's the best 320 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: player in the NBA. Come on, and it just shows 321 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: there is something to when you have players who are voting, 322 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: there is some hateration or if they're joking. I don't know. 323 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: Did we start off right off the bat with one yes, unbelievable? Wow, 324 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: right off the bat?

Dude, they loaded like that Blake, Wow, 326 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: it's one nothing to run on the first hitch literally 327 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: p one home won the left field. Wow, come on, Blake? 328 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, that's my whole point. I guess it 329 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: just itesn't make any sense. Jealousy, like like they're tired 330 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: of here.

Yes, you know, 472 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,880 Speaker 1: and so many guys did it. And there's so many guys. 473 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: Larry Bird was Larry Bird still pulling up at the 474 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: three point contents. Y'all know y'all losing today, right, not 475 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: even taking his warm up jacket off. You had the 476 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 1: best of the best participating. You had the best of 477 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: the best wanting to play because you know what they 478 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: did wanted to do. You're not coming in my town tonight, 479 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Larry Bird, if his Magic Dominique, if his Jordan Isaiah Thomas, 480 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: you're not coming in and showing them out tonight. And 481 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 1: he said, and we didn't play the whole thing. He 482 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: went on to say physically, if you cannot play warm 483 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: I if you really can't, but the idea that you 484 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: could play, or the idea that you just don't want to, 485 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: or even a team. I gotta put some of this onus, 486 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: on the team, not just the players, because Steph Curry 487 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: talked about that, Well, we're gonna just sit you out 488 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: tonight because d da da da da da da. And 489 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: I think ring culture rod plays a role in this, 490 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: because the only thing I'm gonna say is if Steph 491 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,040 Speaker 1: Curry tells them I'm playing tonight, there's no way to 492 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: tell him. I don't disagree with you. I don't decide 493 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: unless you're really injured or something. But I know I'm 494 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: not doing that because because ant Man's played all of 495 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: his games and you led me to where I wanted 496 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 1: to go with this. What brings me hope, Good brother Parker, 497 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 1: was that live? That a run there? Just looked up? Uh, 498 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: sacrifice fly, sacrifice fly three to one, Blue Jay's up 499 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: top of the fourth and now one out. But but 500 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,479 Speaker 1: Hernandez misplayed that ball into a triple. You gotta let 501 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: that ball, you see, You're gonna let that ball drop 502 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: in front of you and not dive because he couldn't 503 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 1: catch what I call him rob g the best version 504 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: of peak Oscar. But to get this real point off then, 505 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: and I want you jump in. What brings me hope 506 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: is this next crop of players you brought up, ant Man. 507 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: Ant Man has made it known I'm probably playing ain't 508 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 1: none of this. I'm playing eighty two, I'm playing forty 509 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: plus minutes. I'm young. I'm in shape less ball, wimby 510 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: less ball. A bunch of these young guys coming in 511 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: the league. Let's ball. We are here to And I 512 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: think it's because money's no longer a thing for them, 513 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: because it's been so huge they know no other way 514 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: like the money is making the money is making the 515 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: money's big, So for them, they're right. The other thing 516 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: is balling. I want to be that guy, ain't none 517 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 1: of this. Well, I'm a wait around. Feel good, let 518 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: me get an extra week and well, let's just wait 519 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 1: till the playoffs. Man, I'm balling. I don't care if 520 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: it's game one, game forty one, game eighty two, let's go. 521 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: And that gives me hope that there's a competitive edge. 522 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: And last point, we saw that in the postseason. Rob 523 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 1: got a lot of guys wanting to play, pushing, shoving, 524 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: getting into a caring again. I feel like carry and 525 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: pride is coming back, and it makes me excited and 526 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: happy and optimistic. But I will say this that NBC, 527 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: I love the idea of trying to get a big 528 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: start yep, and we capture what happened in the nineties 529 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 1: right with Michael Jordan and the whole NBC. I get 530 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: all of that and what they've trying to do, trying 531 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: to do. They got Bob Costas doing the intros like 532 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: they've gone all the way out to try to get 533 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: this right. But I'm disappointed in the mg MJ segments 534 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: in that everything's like a throwback. He's not talking about 535 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: the current players. Come on, man, get give me. I 536 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: want to hear Michael Jordan's perspective about what he's seeing 537 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: with the current players. Now it looks like, and maybe 538 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, I'll be wrong and it'll give some fresh interviews. 539 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: But it looks like he sat down, did a big 540 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: interview and they're just cutting pieces and they're gonna play 541 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: that every Michael Jordan appearance rather than something fresh and 542 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: new or something I want to hear. Okay, Michael Jordan 543 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 1: was involved in you know, was there some gambling or whatever? No, 544 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: I know, I know you want to go here, but 545 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: it would have been interested in the heat, like like 546 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 1: Mike when you played the idea of gambling being legal, 547 00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: just the just the thought of that. Do you think that? 548 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: Do you know? 549 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: There are some questions there that I would like to 550 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: hear what he what he thinks, and what how that 551 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: would have changed anything. That's a great point. And what 552 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: I hope doesn't happen is what you just said that 553 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: they don't sit down with him every once a month, 554 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: or maybe they did it already. You know, I don't know, 555 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, but you sit down with 556 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: him once a month and you and I, you know, 557 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: I do TV every day, You do TV all the time. 558 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: I hope they're not having these pre production meetings with him. 559 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 1: We knock, got an interview, and then we just take 560 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: every week, we take one slippet from it. This week, 561 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: we're going to focus on it. This week, we're and 562 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: then they just reair. Because what I was holding because 563 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: even the load management is out of left field, It 564 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: wasn't based off of something. Now, if you had a 565 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: player who came out and said so just so, who 566 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: just didn't play for a couple of games, like recently 567 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: in the first week or something, then that's the perfect 568 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: to say, hey, I don't know who. We could have 569 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 1: said Joel Embiid hasn't played three games or whatever. They 570 00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: kind of rest or whatever. But you get your point, 571 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:03,360 Speaker 1: and then have Michael Jordan speak on that on Joe 572 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: ellenb It just came out. Here's a topic that's always 573 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: a topic, Mike. Let's just throw this out to the blue. 574 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: I think he What will be cool is to see 575 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: him talking about current players. What will be cool to 576 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: see him sit down with a player and talk to 577 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: a guy say, hey, man, you know everybody always thinks 578 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: about me as air Jordan, But really I was killing 579 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: people with fundamentals in the mid range, and now I'm 580 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 1: sitting here with a young player who's you know, all 581 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: about his mid range game. I'm sitting here with that player. 582 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here with Kawhi. Kawhi, why is it both 583 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: of us have big hands in the mid range? Do 584 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 1: something like that? Like, well, that would be boring, Jordan, 585 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: Kawhi would be terribly boring. But you know what I mean, 586 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: like that kind of a thing. What's it like, like 587 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: how everybody goes to a king post up school during 588 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: the summer to be a lot of people go to 589 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,640 Speaker 1: that sit down with Jordan? What's it like to be 590 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: on the block? Yes, gee, Shay, ask him exactly? Great example? 591 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: Is he a player from the nineties a throwback? Was 592 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: he a guy that you faced? 593 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 3: Like? 594 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: Why has he had so much success against these guys 595 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: when he plays more like during the style that you play, 596 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: tell me about his game that those are the things 597 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: that we should be set him down with ant Man, Seriously, 598 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: that would be hilarious. Don't two very confident talks? Matt 599 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 1: and obviously the whole father's son as Michael Jordan's don't don't, 600 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: don't waste. Mike tells us what I just think back 601 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: in my day, you just got to like I don't 602 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 1: want to know.
