Speaker 1: to shake off some of the we said comments you
Speaker 1: just made, okay about how a powerful you are with
Speaker 1: your grill. Uh. The Peacock original Lost Speedways is back.
Speaker 1: It's an all new second season Dale Junior with Matthew Dillner.
Speaker 1: They pick up where they left off uncovering great American
Speaker 1: race tracks. I saw one of the episodes a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, and I thought that they did a
Speaker 1: wonderful job with its season two streaming now exclusively on Peacock.
Speaker 1: Sign up at Peacock tv dot com to get started,
Speaker 1: get phone calls coming up. We got our poll question.
Speaker 1: I guess I could put that up. I can make
Speaker 1: even matter, okay, I can just defy what Charles Barkley
Speaker 1: said and throw out a going into July fourth weekend
Speaker 1: NFL poll, what's the NFL? Well, Charles just said, the
Speaker 1: NFL takes over every day. I mean that's obvious. But
Speaker 1: I'm actually fishing to see if you have any buzz here.
Speaker 1: But if I gave you a crystal ball and you
Speaker 1: could tell me what's gonna happen in one of these situations,
Speaker 1: which would you want to know? Aaron Rodgers coming up
Speaker 1: on training camp you know, every time I tune into ESPN,
Speaker 1: they tell me that Aaron Rodgers once out. That's the
Speaker 1: headline that was a headline this morning. I've yet to
Speaker 1: hear Aaron Rodgers say that he wants out or a
Speaker 1: confirmation of that. At some point. If Aaron Rodgers ones out, yeah,
Speaker 1: better say something to somebody here or just say look,
Speaker 1: I'm not playing this year. Whatever it is, it feels
Speaker 1: like he wants out. Until I hear it from Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to believe it. You got Davante Adams
Speaker 1: who's going to sign a contract extension with Green Bay.
Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like that's a positive thing
Speaker 1: for Aaron Rodgers. So will he be a camp July
Speaker 1: twenty seven? I have no idea. I don't know. I'm
Speaker 1: betting that he would will, But I just this ESPN
Speaker 1: headline that says Aaron Rodgers once out, But it wasn't
Speaker 1: at the headline on draft day. Yes, they haven't updated
Speaker 1: that headline, but look, when we had Adam Schefter on
Speaker 1: he said that this was a compilation of information here.
Speaker 1: There wasn't a statement that was made that day. It
Speaker 1: wasn't imminent, but it certainly felt like that that, Hey,
Speaker 1: he wants out and he could be traded as early
Speaker 1: as tonight. Okay, that was a long time ago. What's
Speaker 1: the other NFL headline? Will Tim Tebow make the Jaguars?
Speaker 1: That's the sec one. I'm gonna say, no, are you curious?
Speaker 1: I'm slightly is not anywhere near what I am with
Speaker 1: Rogers A real one. Deshaun Watson? Is anything going to happen?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna be playing football in the end of July?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, I am curious that if he
Speaker 1: does show up, how awkward that is. He doesn't want
Speaker 1: to play for the organization. The organization probably doesn't want
Speaker 1: him to play. But what do you do? When can
Speaker 1: you do it? And when can you trade him? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Pay if you're put on the commissioners list. If a
Speaker 1: players put on the Commissioner's list, are they paid still?
Speaker 1: Do they still get paid by the team? I think
Speaker 1: so because I was thinking, like you said, if the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans could be tanking, and if if they're best
Speaker 1: players on the commisioners list, they're gonna be the by
Speaker 1: far the worst team of football. They're they're expecting to
Speaker 1: be the worst team with Watson back, this could put
Speaker 1: them in position to get the first round pick. I
Speaker 1: wonder if they would mind if their quarterback has put
Speaker 1: on the commissioner's list. Here's something that Fritzie just sent me.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and the Packers rumored to be in early discussions,
Speaker 1: early stages of discussions, although nothing substantial has happened yet.
Speaker 1: This according to ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. Okay, early
Speaker 1: discussions about what about staying? About going a contract extension?
Speaker 1: What is there any other language in there time that
Speaker 1: I'm missing? No, it's like it seems like it's intentionally vague.
Speaker 1: It doesn't say are they getting closer to going up
Speaker 1: their separate ways or closer to working it out? When
Speaker 1: you first read, it makes it sound like they can
Speaker 1: ultimately try to work something out and have them stick
Speaker 1: in a Packer uniform. Okay, I don't. I don't see
Speaker 1: anything here. They're in early discussions. I don't know what
Speaker 1: that means. Okay, I'm guessing that they're always in discussions,
Speaker 1: the early stages of discussions. I think this is about
Speaker 1: the contract I'm reading. I'm reading to Okay, so then
Speaker 1: he would be staying. Oh, he's definitely, you know, but
Speaker 1: I tuned into ESPN this morning. Rogers once out that
Speaker 1: that the banner on top of the screen. Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: wants out, and then Jeremy Fowler saying early stages of discussions,
Speaker 1: although nothing substantial has happened yet. This is not When
Speaker 1: you put the word rumor in the headline, that means
Speaker 1: it's not news and not a report. I don't I
Speaker 1: don't understand this. And then ESPN reported that their team's
Speaker 1: monitoring the situation. That doesn't mean anything. I mean, when
Speaker 1: I watched Jenny Batchee, you know, dance with Jake Keffley
Speaker 1: at the prom, I was monitoring the situation in case
Speaker 1: I could dance with her. Yes, maybe, but what does
Speaker 1: that mean? You're monitoring the situation? So a couple of
Speaker 1: teams are keeping an eye on this, all right? It
Speaker 1: just feels like we don't have anything to tell you
Speaker 1: ding Ning Ning ning Ning Ning stages of discussions. That's
Speaker 1: where you're thinking about thinking about having discussion Internally, the
Speaker 1: packers have said we're gonna start talking to Aaron. Oh god,
Speaker 1: my business without Tiger Woods on tours, and people are worried,
Speaker 1: or certainly were worried that golf might be less interesting
Speaker 1: now we missed Tiger, but Rice into Shambo is making
Speaker 1: a valiant effort to fill up that vacuum. And he
Speaker 1: and his caddy, Tim Tucker are quote taking a break
Speaker 1: from each other seeing other golfers. Are they seeing other caddy?
Speaker 1: I don't know. Tucker was on the bag at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the week. They're in Detroit the Rocket Mortgage Classic,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they just this doesn't
Speaker 1: happen where you're getting ready to play that day round
Speaker 1: one and you go, we're gonna take a break. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't take a break right before you get ready
Speaker 1: to tee off. You're on the range. Well brooks Kepka
Speaker 1: had due way and he tweeted that his caddy was
Speaker 1: the best caddy. And the rivalry is great. Um, I
Speaker 1: wish they would have been playing in the match against
Speaker 1: one another, but I hope they get paired together one
Speaker 1: of these days. Next week he'll be paired with Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers against Phil Nicholson and Tom Brady and with Deshambo.
Speaker 1: You never know what you're going to get. But this
Speaker 1: is just another layer to that rivalry that these two have. Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 1: Doesn't that make this make Bryson d Shambo even more interesting?
Speaker 1: The fact that he's having a breakup with his caddy
Speaker 1: on the day of a match, that he's a very
Speaker 1: unique individual. This is good. We need more unique individuals,
Speaker 1: I guess, but I can't imagine, like what there had
Speaker 1: to be a lot of things that build up to this,
Speaker 1: and then it could be just one thing, one word,
Speaker 1: one moment, and then you're like, I think we should
Speaker 1: start seeing other people. We need to take a break.
Speaker 1: Why won't you use the seven? Say what you want
Speaker 1: to say? What do you what do you try to say?
Speaker 1: You want me to hit the eight? All right, I
Speaker 1: don't hit the eight, Just say it. It's not about
Speaker 1: the eight iron, it's about you. I think we should
Speaker 1: take a break. It's good fun. But until Deshambo and
Speaker 1: Kepka get paired together, it's just like a flirting period
Speaker 1: where they just don't like each other. They're in the
Speaker 1: same area, in the same tournament, on the same leaderboard.
Speaker 1: But until they play together, and then you see what
Speaker 1: that body language is like, and maybe there's part of
Speaker 1: this where you go, no, let's keep this, keep them separate.
Speaker 1: As long as you can do you have Kepka's tweet? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Brooks kept cut like an hour after it was announced
Speaker 1: that Dadian votes caddy air quote broke up. Verst Kevica
Speaker 1: posted couldn't do it without my guy Rick, best friend
Speaker 1: and greatest caddy to do it, Ricky Ella Appreciation Day,
Speaker 1: Ricky Elliott his caddy. It's a picture of him walking
Speaker 1: arm and arm with his caddy. Oh that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Todd's got a limerick, and uh, Todd, are you ready
Speaker 1: with your limerick? This is about the Bucks over the
Speaker 1: Hawks last night. I am okay, Well, why don't you
Speaker 1: give it to America? In my regular voice? Um? Is
Speaker 1: there another voice that maybe talk Bob Dylan? I'm Bruce Springsteen.
Speaker 1: Oh are you Kate? But you're kind of a one
Speaker 1: trick pony. You have to like sing it and plus
Speaker 1: springste Springsteen, mister America, born in the USA, Blue fourth
Speaker 1: or July. Okay, do you think you can pull this off?
Speaker 1: I'm give it a shot. Okay, Well that was pretty sneaky,
Speaker 1: making the Hawks look rather creaky. Low peasant Partis made
Speaker 1: runs one win from playing the Sun's Bucks team effort
Speaker 1: got all kinds of freaky, all right, come on out. Alright,
Speaker 1: great call, bring it all now very old. Now that's
Speaker 1: only one song, one great example of the overrated Wow
Speaker 1: Boss Yeah say wow Dah. The clothes come down all
Speaker 1: right here it comes around. H you know you're going
Speaker 1: to hell? Really? Yeah? For for doing that to Bruce.
Speaker 1: You're doing that to America when you do Yeah, I understaid,
Speaker 1: though I know, I understand. You don't like Bob Dylan.
Speaker 1: I get it, Okay, you don't like his voice. It's
Speaker 1: the lyritating. I'm sure that you know. The lyrics are
Speaker 1: great in the words and all that. Maybe I'm not appreciating.
Speaker 1: You're not you're not, you're not. But once he starts again, Yeah, man, man,
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know. I can't. I can't get there,
Speaker 1: you know. But he's he does have a great message
Speaker 1: that he's he's sending. He's been doing that for How
Speaker 1: does it when young I'm gonna take a break here,
Speaker 1: Channing Fry will join us. Coming up. We'll get phone
Speaker 1: calls as well. One of my favorite shows, Bosch I
Speaker 1: Binge watched the final season episode or A season seven
Speaker 1: and one of the stars Jay Edgar Jamie Hector. He
Speaker 1: was in the wire and he's also Bosch's sidekick, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna have him on in about an hour from now.
Speaker 1: Frank Kaminski, I gotta be honest. I didn't even know
Speaker 1: Frank was on the Phoenix Suns until we had the
Speaker 1: incident with Patrick Beverley where he pushes Chris Paul and
Speaker 1: then there's big Frank there. Frank the tank is just
Speaker 1: standing there and he doesn't do anything. And I said
Speaker 1: to Paulie, I said to reach out to Frank, see
Speaker 1: if he wants to join his yest hunt. I think
Speaker 1: Patrick Beverley actually look at Frank Kamiski says, what are
Speaker 1: you doing here? I don't think he knew he was
Speaker 1: a playing from the NBA. We'll take a break at
Speaker 1: sixteen after the hour and this Friday back after this

Speaker 1: from Tokyo on NBC. I saw where the NFL find
Speaker 1: the Niners, Jags, and Cowboys for OTA violations. Jags find
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand dollars, Urban Meyer one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: Niners will find one hundred thousand. Coach Kyle Shanahan fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. Cowboys find one hundred thousand. Mike McCarthy find
Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. Don't you want your team to get
Speaker 1: in trouble with an OTA? Would this be viewed as
Speaker 1: a positive. I know that it's costing you money, but
Speaker 1: you know you're trying to kind of circumvent the rules.
Speaker 1: I know that the health and safety of the players
Speaker 1: the highest priority here, but I don't know. I kind
Speaker 1: of looked at it like, yeah, all right, JAG's doing
Speaker 1: something there. Yeah, Paul, every time an Urban Meyer team
Speaker 1: has been in a jam, we're an investigator to look at.
Speaker 1: They're usually winning something like at Florida they were winning.
Speaker 1: At the Ohio State they were winning. Phone calls are welcome.
Speaker 1: We'll get to those coming up. Eight seven seven three
Speaker 1: DP show Channing Fry killed it last time he was
Speaker 1: on with US Turners Sports NBA Analysts one a championship
Speaker 1: with the Cavs. Turner Sports NBA playoff coverage continues tomorrow
Speaker 1: night game six Hawks Bucks at eight thirty Eastern, and
Speaker 1: you can catch Channing on hashtag NBA Twitter Live during
Speaker 1: the second half of that game. Channing, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 1: What do you make of this matchup in the Eastern
Speaker 1: Conference right now? I love it? I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I don't know if we've had
Speaker 1: an opportunity to watch these these guys play, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you know, injuries are
Speaker 1: something that happened, right in all sports. I'm going to
Speaker 1: see this Hawks team go from you know, they're they're
Speaker 1: pretty good to holy crap, They're two games away from
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals and I'm in Atlanta. At no point
Speaker 1: in my life that ever think that we would say
Speaker 1: that Atlanta Hawks are two games away from the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals and then for the Bucks like last night, like
Speaker 1: I talk about how dominant Brook Lopez was in twenty
Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen, and people actually saw it like he
Speaker 1: wasn't doing anything above himself, Like obviously he went crazy,
Speaker 1: but Brook Lopez is a monster and Bobby Ports is
Speaker 1: good too, So you know, we kind of get on
Speaker 1: the Bucks for being boring, but they got some hoopers
Speaker 1: like Drew Holiday. I love. I think he's one of
Speaker 1: my favorite, top five favorite players I've ever played against
Speaker 1: in the league, just respect wise, just what he does.
Speaker 1: And obviously the Clippers and Sun series, you're just watching
Speaker 1: guys get an opportunity to be in the limelight. You're
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of these young guys step up, which
Speaker 1: is which is awesome. It's that new generation. I just
Speaker 1: wonder about Yannis. No structural damage, but to come back
Speaker 1: from this injury, there's no way he could do that.
Speaker 1: I've done it. And then we were talking with Shack
Speaker 1: last night. It took us six weeks and I'd wear
Speaker 1: a brace just to be comfortable. You know, when you
Speaker 1: stand up, like when you bend your knee, your knee's
Speaker 1: not supposed to been like that, and then your muscles
Speaker 1: get stretched out, so even when you're standing up. I
Speaker 1: don't know, if you watch him like you know, I
Speaker 1: watch little things when you stand up, like your knee
Speaker 1: may buckle like that, and it's just like it's the
Speaker 1: worst feeling. It like cringes your stomach and anybody that's
Speaker 1: happened to Unless there's some new type of technology that
Speaker 1: I don't know of, I don't think we see him
Speaker 1: this series. And then if they do win, which I
Speaker 1: think they are, I don't know if we see him
Speaker 1: for you know, three or four games into the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1: What about Trey Young's availability for this next game. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: you got to look at Trey and hey, Trey, we
Speaker 1: need we need two games out of you. And this
Speaker 1: is it, right, I mean, bone bruises are crazy. I
Speaker 1: know guys that try to play them and you get
Speaker 1: maybe fifty percent. So can you win with the fifty percent? Trey? Right?
Speaker 1: And that's really what you're because at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, the first and I said this yesterday, the
Speaker 1: first three plays at the game told me that the
Speaker 1: Bucks are not playing around anymore. That they go, we
Speaker 1: are two games away from the NBA Finals. Right, if
Speaker 1: you were a kid, or if you at the beginning
Speaker 1: of your career said to hey, you you can have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to be two games away from the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals and have a chance even without Jannis, You're gonna
Speaker 1: play a little different and they started to play a
Speaker 1: little different last night, Like they went to the rack
Speaker 1: at Will Drew Holiday was posting up all their guards.
Speaker 1: So if you're hobbled, they're now starting to attack everybody.
Speaker 1: Hurder Bogdanovich like you know, anybody who comes in that game,
Speaker 1: they're using their bodies. And Chris Middleton and U and
Speaker 1: Drew Holiday, I think really set the tone last night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just wonder, And I know it's easy for me
Speaker 1: being the get off my line guy, and back in
Speaker 1: my day these guys would play hurt. I mean, these
Speaker 1: are long, these are big investments. I mean the bucks,
Speaker 1: this is a guaranteed contract, the Greek freaks um, you know,
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollars here, But you don't
Speaker 1: know if you'll ever be in this position again. And
Speaker 1: that's where I wonder, like how much can we expect?
Speaker 1: I want to be fair to him. I want to
Speaker 1: be fair to Kauai. You know, these guys who have injuries,
Speaker 1: having had you know, six knee surgeries. Myself, I understand it,
Speaker 1: but at some point is it wrong for us to
Speaker 1: ask for you to do a little more given what's
Speaker 1: at stake here? I think, Yeah, I'm just gonna talk
Speaker 1: about Giannis. I don't know Kawhi's situation, but I know this.
Speaker 1: These dudes are some of the most elite players that
Speaker 1: sacrifice everything. Jannis has done every single thing right. Like
Speaker 1: Jannis is a good dude. He plays the game the
Speaker 1: right way. He doesn't doesn't take days off. His teammates
Speaker 1: love him. He plays with ferocity every single night. I
Speaker 1: always look at it as if that was my son.
Speaker 1: What I let him play the way his knees buckled, right,
Speaker 1: the way he has I don't know the doctor thing.
Speaker 1: I understand the big picture of yes, you're going to
Speaker 1: the finals, but I also understand the picture of Yannis
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to be one of the all time greats.
Speaker 1: He has that that is more important than the now,
Speaker 1: because I don't want you to go out there and
Speaker 1: your twenty percent or five percent and all of a
Speaker 1: sudden something more happens and then you regret that moment. Right, Yannis,
Speaker 1: You're special. Like this is not a finger, This is
Speaker 1: not you know, an elbow on the other side, right,
Speaker 1: this is not a wrist. This is his knee. And
Speaker 1: he can't be Yannis. Who who with a knee? Who
Speaker 1: that is wobbly like a hot twizzler. You just can't
Speaker 1: do it. Are the Son's gonna be the favorite no
Speaker 1: matter who goes in out of the I love the Suns, man.
Speaker 1: I know I'm from Phoenix, so I'm a Homer. But
Speaker 1: they played good basketball, Like that's what. Like, my son
Speaker 1: just got into basketball last week. He played lacrosse, he
Speaker 1: played hockey, he played all the suburban sports and finally
Speaker 1: they were like, yo, you gotta start playing basketball. And
Speaker 1: I tell him to watch the Suns. Everyone Money Williams
Speaker 1: coach me. I think Chris Paul is still underrated, and
Speaker 1: Devin Booker Chau is underrated, well because everyone now is
Speaker 1: talking about how good he is just because he went
Speaker 1: to the finals. Is the dude, He's been this good
Speaker 1: for sixteen years. Like and I had I'm lucky enough
Speaker 1: to have conversations with Charles and Isaiah Thomas, and we
Speaker 1: were talking about guys who never had a chance to win,
Speaker 1: but who were bad, like who were absolutely ridiculously good
Speaker 1: in their time. And Chris Paul has been ridiculously good
Speaker 1: in his time. And he's a true point guard. Right.
Speaker 1: Those things are like, you know, like antiques. Nowadays everyone
Speaker 1: turned to a combo guard because they couldn't get Chris Paul.
Speaker 1: They couldn't get that guy. And so between him and
Speaker 1: Devin Booker, they kill you on mid ranges. That's against
Speaker 1: all the analytics, right, and so hold off, wait what,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about analytics now, because Devin Booker dominated,
Speaker 1: like absolutely, he like flicked it off like a little
Speaker 1: Booker on the table. He's like that, get that mess
Speaker 1: out of here, right. So I tell my son to
Speaker 1: watch him. Like all he does is, Hey, if you're
Speaker 1: gonna follow me, I'm gonna shoot the floater. If you're
Speaker 1: gonna give me the right pull up, I'm gonna take this.
Speaker 1: Just take what you can get. And at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, if you get shoot all of it,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have him thirty. It's easy, it's simple. The
Speaker 1: game is simple. And they just played good basketball. And
Speaker 1: I think the Hawks played good basketball. Obviously. I like
Speaker 1: Nate McMillan what he's been doing with that team. Guys
Speaker 1: are coming in and step it in. You know, last
Speaker 1: night they just got you know, they just got Big BOYD.
Speaker 1: But it'll be interesting game next game. Yeah. I And
Speaker 1: we're talking to Channing Fry the Attornish Sports NBA analyst.
Speaker 1: He won a championship with Lebron James and the Cleveland
Speaker 1: Cavalet carry him to the finals. Yeah him as you
Speaker 1: like this, I got you this point. Yeah, it's like hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: like I got you here. Let me take the rest now, right,
Speaker 1: there's no big guys out there for me. And you
Speaker 1: know what, I've never seen that story written, so I
Speaker 1: appreciate you. You're telling it exclusive right here. You're like
Speaker 1: the very humble that's that's what. How often would you
Speaker 1: get yelled at by Lebron James when you played with him? Oh? Man, um,
Speaker 1: not as often as you think. He's more of a
Speaker 1: look guy. Well, Jordan would give his teammates. Jordan gave
Speaker 1: his teammates the look you didn't want, the rona looks
Speaker 1: okay would make him? What would make him give you
Speaker 1: the look? Lack of confidence? So like if he passed
Speaker 1: you the ball and you don't shoot it because you
Speaker 1: missed too, He'll look at you like you're crazy, and
Speaker 1: then he goes, you don't think I know what I'm doing,
Speaker 1: shoot the ball, and I'd be like, dang, yeah you
Speaker 1: are Lebron, so I probably should shoot it next time.
Speaker 1: It's all encouraging, it's all good. He's one of the
Speaker 1: best teammates I've had. What would do with Ben Simmons Channing? Okay, well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna speak for him. I'd tell him to
Speaker 1: switch hands like Tristan Thompson switch hands. I've been saying
Speaker 1: it since his freshman year at LSU. I thought that
Speaker 1: he was a right hander and he was shooting left handed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I like Lebron is left handed and shoots
Speaker 1: right handed and does things right hand. And Lebron writes
Speaker 1: and eats left handed. So for me, let's start over Ben. Okay, already,
Speaker 1: it can't get any lower because you don't take shots.
Speaker 1: So let's work with the other hand, because then it's new,
Speaker 1: it's fresh. You don't have the you know we used
Speaker 1: to say, you don't have the yips. Right on his
Speaker 1: left hand, his elbows out, his risk goes, says side.
Speaker 1: He's trying to like aim me. He doesn't have feel,
Speaker 1: So learn how to have feel with your hand, like
Speaker 1: you got to feel the ball as a shooter. You
Speaker 1: gotta have like a nice smooth motion. Now if you
Speaker 1: start from scratch, almost like chuck swing. Have you ever
Speaker 1: seen Chuck swing left handed, it looks perfect, and then
Speaker 1: you see him swing right handed, and it kind of
Speaker 1: it was better now, but like then, it kind of
Speaker 1: got a little chop because his mind is used to
Speaker 1: doing it the wrong way more than it's used to
Speaker 1: doing right. Ben Simmons is one of the most talented
Speaker 1: guys in NBA, and the criticism he's getting is only
Speaker 1: because of that, right, and only because he's a It
Speaker 1: looked like he was afraid to not look cool, right.
Speaker 1: He was afraid to be embarrassed at his shot or
Speaker 1: at his thing. To me, I just tell Ben Simmons,
Speaker 1: give me three spots this summer. Give me three spots
Speaker 1: on the court where if you go there you'll be
Speaker 1: willing to go over ten, over twenty. But for us,
Speaker 1: we know you're working on just three spots and the
Speaker 1: free throws. Just give me fifty thirty four percent. You
Speaker 1: could kick that thing in there for the thirty four percent.
Speaker 1: Come on, man, but shoot granny style. You don't gotta
Speaker 1: be cool, You gotta di Zebla's win. Shoot Granny style
Speaker 1: is trash talk, a lost art in the NBA today. Yeah, nobody,
Speaker 1: we are talking about that too. Last night, nobody, Everyone
Speaker 1: gets so personal about it because sometimes dudes don't know
Speaker 1: how to do it correctly, like they really there's so
Speaker 1: much information on people, like I don't know if trash
Speaker 1: talking used to be heresay where now people could Wikipedia
Speaker 1: and talk about your uncle who you know end up
Speaker 1: going to jail for something. You know, it's just too personal.
Speaker 1: But trash talk is great. I think it's good. I think,
Speaker 1: but what would you say, did you trash talk only
Speaker 1: certain times for certain guys if I needed to. I'm
Speaker 1: a nice guy, like I smile a lot. I like
Speaker 1: life is good. You know. A long time ago a
Speaker 1: doctor told me I was going to die, and then
Speaker 1: I played another six years in the NBA. So I
Speaker 1: have like a glass half full all the time attitude,
Speaker 1: and so I needed to be mean sometimes. And when
Speaker 1: I knew the guy across from me was really nice,
Speaker 1: I needed to talk reckless to him. And I mean
Speaker 1: i'd literally, just like I don't know, cuss him out,
Speaker 1: like he got my order wrong at McDonald's, right, like
Speaker 1: just anything, a little thing. I wouldn't make things up. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think they say Bobby Portis imagines that
Speaker 1: people slap his mob, And now that's a little serious
Speaker 1: for me. But you know, Bobby Portis is crazy. But
Speaker 1: to me, I would just be like, this dude wants
Speaker 1: to steal food off my table for me and my kids,
Speaker 1: and then I would just kind of get mad that way.
Speaker 1: Would you have an appendix? Is that? No? No? No No,
Speaker 1: So they thought I had in large heart. So they
Speaker 1: thought I had cardiomyopathy, which is way more serious than appendix.
Speaker 1: Yes it is. Appendix is hurt. Yeah, I had. I
Speaker 1: had a swollen impendix appendix for six weeks and was flying.
Speaker 1: And when the doctor found out I he was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know how you didn't die or how you
Speaker 1: didn't get appendicitis. And I was like, well I didn't,
Speaker 1: So let's get that nasty little thing out of here.
Speaker 1: Well you had, you know, Chris Bosh, you had to
Speaker 1: go through that where they just said, no, we're gonna
Speaker 1: shut you down. There there have been you know, you
Speaker 1: have Hank Gathers, you have Reggie Lewis. I mean we
Speaker 1: we've had these players. Uh, Pete Merovitch at age forty
Speaker 1: they found out, you know he had heart to Marcus Aldridge, yeah,
Speaker 1: he has to shut it down as well. Jeff Green
Speaker 1: had to get surgery up his chest. They opened his
Speaker 1: chest up. Scary. It's a gnarly scar. Yeah, who do
Speaker 1: you think do you think there's any chance Lebron gets
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard to lle Did you see what I wrote?
Speaker 1: I live in Portland, so I said, Dave, don't fall
Speaker 1: for the trend. People don't know my humor, so like
Speaker 1: they're like Jenny stuff, Ayden, I'm like that, I'm just joking, right.
Speaker 1: First of all, I there's always a chance for everything.
Speaker 1: And here's why. I think the communication between your owner, GM,
Speaker 1: coach and star player should be fluid, right, And I
Speaker 1: think you're seeing that. You're seeing that in Phoenix, that
Speaker 1: that works right. James Jones, Monti Williams, Chris Paul, Devin
Speaker 1: Booker are on one page. Right. They bring in the
Speaker 1: right guys, They have the right a atitude towards the game.
Speaker 1: There's just enough pressure to develop the young guys, but
Speaker 1: to always expect to win every game in Portland. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that communication is exactly there now, but
Speaker 1: we have to wait. I think Chauncey Billups is a
Speaker 1: it was an amazing player who doesn't get talked about enough.
Speaker 1: He was like if you were up or down three
Speaker 1: or four. Excuse me, Johnson Billis was gonna win that game,
Speaker 1: like they don't call him. Like Johnson Billis was in
Speaker 1: big shot after big shot. So I think his communication
Speaker 1: with players is going to be great. I think he's
Speaker 1: gonna get He's gonna hopefully unlock some of the guys
Speaker 1: who have been kind of settling in. They just have
Speaker 1: injuries though, Chauncey. I mean, I mean, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm if I'm Lillard, I'm thirty, and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at all the other great players, and he
Speaker 1: is a great player, but he doesn't play. You know,
Speaker 1: I hadn't had the opportunity to play meaningful games, and
Speaker 1: I just don't see him happening. So where would you
Speaker 1: have him go? I would not let him stay in
Speaker 1: the way if on the Blazers would I would look
Speaker 1: at Philadelphia if I thought I was getting equal value
Speaker 1: for him. And that's not just we get Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: I got to get something else here. Yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: gotta get a lot, because Damian Lillard is the heartbeat
Speaker 1: of Portland. No, you gotta get a quote unquote generational
Speaker 1: talent that is going to stay there, right, I mean,
Speaker 1: for instance, you gotta be like, here, I'll give you
Speaker 1: Damian Lillard for John Morant. Like to me, that's equal
Speaker 1: to me, that's equal. I know that's crazy to say,
Speaker 1: but John Morant will stay in a small market and
Speaker 1: develop as you go through the rebuilding process. Right if
Speaker 1: you were to get rid of Damian Lillard, so who's
Speaker 1: a young guy, there's gonna stay in a small market
Speaker 1: because you don't want to trade Damian Lillard for Ben Simmons.
Speaker 1: And Ben Simmons is like, Okay, I'm here for two years.
Speaker 1: Now I want to go to New York or now
Speaker 1: I want to go to Brooklyn. You need somebody who's
Speaker 1: gonna like dig their roots into that. That's how rare
Speaker 1: he is. But Ben needs to be in a small
Speaker 1: bowler market. He needs to have a team that's his. Like,
Speaker 1: I think part of the problem he's in Philly, they
Speaker 1: expect to win. Doc Rivers comes in inbad MVP candidate.
Speaker 1: You know, Ben needs to be in a place where
Speaker 1: he can play, and he can play in games that
Speaker 1: might not be meaningful and it can help him get
Speaker 1: some confidence back. Right, So basically, if Orlando had a package,
Speaker 1: you would send him to Orlando they're completely rebuilding. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they got some young guys. Yeah, and here here, Ben,
Speaker 1: we're going to develop you and then you could have
Speaker 1: Ben and Marquel folks play on the same team together. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well I just named Orlando. It's not like I was
Speaker 1: even thinking about the Ross. I don't know if I
Speaker 1: put those two together. But you know, I think again, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Ben Simmons is a guy that
Speaker 1: needs like Jannis needs to Chris Middleton, Ben Simmons needs
Speaker 1: to be the best player or the most dominant player. Well,
Speaker 1: he plays different when he didn't have Joe l Embiad
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Yeah, it's I'm pretty sure that Doc
Speaker 1: Rivers conversation went, thank you, Ben, I love your service.
Speaker 1: But we're rolling with this dude on a nightly basis,
Speaker 1: and I don't know how that feels because they've always
Speaker 1: been Oh, you guys are one, A, one B. Now
Speaker 1: it's like, no, Joel's one, two and three and you're
Speaker 1: four in defense. But did you ever go to the
Speaker 1: line and like you lose your cut. You were a
Speaker 1: really good shooter, but you go to the line and
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're not moving, like playing golf, that ball
Speaker 1: doesn't move and it freaks people out. Whereas baseball, you're
Speaker 1: throwing and I got a swing, like, we love the
Speaker 1: reaction as an athlete, but when you get to the line,
Speaker 1: everything stops and it's just you dribbling looking at the basket. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Did you ever have a moment where you go, I
Speaker 1: lost confidence or what the hell? Did I just go? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: oh yeah. You know me being a shooter or a specialist. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm out there for one I'm out there for one reason. Right,
Speaker 1: I'm out there to space the floor. In my bay
Speaker 1: joke was like, hey, when I'm out here, I may
Speaker 1: not have any points, but nobody's getting double teams, right,
Speaker 1: you can play one on one as long as I'm
Speaker 1: out here, because if I get a chance to shoot,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shoot it. I'm gonna make it. So that
Speaker 1: was my running joke, and that's kind of the attitude
Speaker 1: I have towards a game. And so for me, you
Speaker 1: have to always go back to the work. You always
Speaker 1: got to imagine when you were you know, when I
Speaker 1: was a kid, it was one hundred and fifteen, I'm
Speaker 1: out there shooting with my dad on that hot half
Speaker 1: tennis court, half basketball hoop in my neighborhood, right, And
Speaker 1: I remember those days where it was like it was
Speaker 1: everything and nothing else was more important. Right, And then
Speaker 1: you realize you come back to that moment where it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: it's a free throw. I've done this a trillion times, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm not in this arena. It's just me, the hoop
Speaker 1: and the work that I put in, and you just
Speaker 1: go shoot it. Yeah, but you can practice bad habite
Speaker 1: when I go to this, I go to that. I
Speaker 1: don't like driving range. I can, I can hit one
Speaker 1: hundred balls, but if I'm not doing it correctly, yeah,
Speaker 1: then I'm not getting better. And I think that's the
Speaker 1: player's fault. That's the player's fault. You cannot be a
Speaker 1: MAX player or somebody who is an upper echelon All
Speaker 1: Star and you don't have There are amazing elite people
Speaker 1: to teach you how to shoot, how to break down film,
Speaker 1: how to dribble, how to do all the major skills
Speaker 1: to be successful. So there's nobody else's fault but your
Speaker 1: own that you don't do it. And again I go
Speaker 1: back to Lebron. This man hurts his ankle, he has
Speaker 1: twenty around o'clock care if he's hurt longer than two weeks.
Speaker 1: He has somebody change his diet, right because he has
Speaker 1: a chef. He doesn't drive because he's ice his knees.
Speaker 1: He's doing this, he's watching film. So there's no excuse
Speaker 1: because what he has you can do. Right. These guys
Speaker 1: are getting a one hundred, two hundred three and four
Speaker 1: hund a million and you're worried and you can't shoot
Speaker 1: a free throw. Stop it. Find somebody who's the best
Speaker 1: shooting coach in the world. Hire him for a summer,
Speaker 1: have him stay at your chateau on the side because
Speaker 1: you know you got a firehouse, and teach you every
Speaker 1: single day. Create a relationship with that person so he's
Speaker 1: not just there for checks, so he's there for you
Speaker 1: and so he can communicate with you how to be
Speaker 1: the best you. Everyone has talent. How did you do it? No,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have the patience. I don't
Speaker 1: have the patience. Shooting is very simple to me, obviously,
Speaker 1: because that's what I do. And so people get they
Speaker 1: get too much like you gotta humble yourself before the game, right,
Speaker 1: you know what? I felt like I was one of
Speaker 1: the best shooters, and every day I would do the
Speaker 1: most simple remedial things that the basics that would help
Speaker 1: me build out how I became a shooter. That's the
Speaker 1: only way to do it. And you gotta humble yourself.
Speaker 1: It's boring, it's tedious, and you got to sit there
Speaker 1: and do it, and you got to do it perfect,
Speaker 1: and then you go to step two and a lot
Speaker 1: of guys want to skip it because they're talented, but
Speaker 1: you can't do that. Great to talk to you. Thanks

Speaker 1: League players playing in the Eastern Conference finals one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Speaker 1: That's the guys who played. That's not that they're more
Speaker 1: on the deep bench, but I've never heard of most
Speaker 1: of them. Chris Middleton, Brent Forbes, Bobby Portis, Janis's brother, PJ. Tucker,
Speaker 1: Clint Cappella, Solomon Hill, Lou Williams all played in the
Speaker 1: G League. The best part bajste was a two thousand
Speaker 1: and six Colorado fourteen ers. I don't know, is that

Speaker 1: time ago. Guy's been around. Yes he has, Yes, he has,
Speaker 1: Mike and Florida him Mike. What's on your mind today,
Speaker 1: nay Dan? How are you good? Sir? So? I gotta
Speaker 1: tell you that I completely agree with Todd's take on
Speaker 1: Bob Dylan. I'm all for message, But when that message
Speaker 1: is being delivered by somebody who sounds like a cartoon
Speaker 1: character that just woke up it took a bong hit,
Speaker 1: That's where I gotta draw the line. Wow and can
Speaker 1: I also? Can I also Todd, he's some expertise and
Speaker 1: a whole notat song. I can't go for that. I
Speaker 1: was listening to that the other day. Well can you
Speaker 1: go for I really can't figure it out, Thank you, Miney.
Speaker 1: I know he can't go for being twice as nice
Speaker 1: as he can't go for repeating the same old lines.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that really clears it up much.
Speaker 1: I think it's supposed to be vague. There's only holl
Speaker 1: of notes can do? I can't go for that no
Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, but those are those are some deep lyrics.
Speaker 1: You don't like Dylan's lyrics, but you like Hollingda. It's
Speaker 1: a little better that it. She loves you. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you should be glad and you can't be mad
Speaker 1: or whatever? The Beatles? What you're trying to get to
Speaker 1: with that pop hit? Wait now you're bringing in the Beatles? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I agree with mclevan. I've always agree with him that
Speaker 1: the Beatles are overrated. Friday, I don't want to see
Speaker 1: Yeah what you guys are idiots? Yes, Paul, You've got
Speaker 1: my body you now, now you want my soul. Don't
Speaker 1: even think about it, say no, go I'll do anything
Speaker 1: that you want me to. I'll do almost anything that
Speaker 1: you want me to. Oo oo oooh there's a lot man,
Speaker 1: that's so deep. Yeah yeah, John in Vegas, Hey, John,
Speaker 1: Daniel Patrick Junior the third, What an honor it is
Speaker 1: to speak with you? Well, thank you, John. You know
Speaker 1: how it is an honor to be nominated for an Emmy,
Speaker 1: but yet you're still disappointed when you do lose. I'd
Speaker 1: like to talk about it. Wait, first, I want to
Speaker 1: say that every other sports talk show hosts and sports
Speaker 1: talk show show is the big mouth at the end
Speaker 1: of the bar. But the Dan Patrick Show is the bar.
Speaker 1: But I want to talk about the honor and the
Speaker 1: disappointment because you played my Happy Meat Friday. By the way,
Speaker 1: you played My Meat Friday. John, You're all over the place. John,
Speaker 1: You're all over the place. Let me just tell you
Speaker 1: how what an honor it was. It was like out
Speaker 1: of a biopick when you hear your song on the
Speaker 1: radio for the first time and my eyes are darting
Speaker 1: about and I'm like, wow, he's playing my song. But
Speaker 1: then you cut off the last two lines and I
Speaker 1: was denied my sucket back row, Dan, All right, well
Speaker 1: you just got it in there, John Todd, Thank you,
Speaker 1: John Todd. You're right. I shouldn't have taken fire. You
Speaker 1: don't listen to me. You do your own thing, Like
Speaker 1: John was saying nice things, but I apologize to give
Speaker 1: your valid suggestions, and you just go right through the
Speaker 1: I just didn't know where he was going. I know
Speaker 1: that's what you get. Thank you Todd. Thank you. Jeff
Speaker 1: and Detroit. Hey, Jeff, what up? Though? How am I
Speaker 1: supposed to follow that? God? What's going on? Dan? Happy
Speaker 1: Meet Friday? Fellows. Listen. You guys had a wonderful Stranger show.
Speaker 1: Some guy called in yesterday. I don't know who that was.
Speaker 1: He was real disrespectful. Quick question though, Dan, on your
Speaker 1: way out the door. My question to you is this,
Speaker 1: if you had to start Game four with either Chris Paul,
Speaker 1: Yannis or Trey who you take last game? For all
Speaker 1: the marbles, all of them are healthy. Who you got
Speaker 1: so I have a random team here, I would probably
Speaker 1: take the Greek freak, and I just I don't know
Speaker 1: what I can plug in with Chris Paul, and I
Speaker 1: don't know what I can plug in with Trey Young.
Speaker 1: But at least with Yannis, I know I'm getting thirty
Speaker 1: and fifteen at least just about every game, and that's
Speaker 1: really hard to count on somebody to give you those
Speaker 1: numbers every single game. Oh, we got a great guest list.
