Speaker 2: Thrilled whenever and always, joined by Bridget Condon. Bridget, welcome back.

4
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 3: It's probably been a little too long forgot to turn

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 3: on the talk button. That's a good way to start

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 3: the show. Tracy. I'm happy to be back with you,

7
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 3: and I'm happy that we still are talking about the

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,319
Speaker 3: Pacers and the thunder two weeks later.

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that. It was like two weeks ago,

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: we're talking about Game two, what's gonna happen? You were

11
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: singing your what the helly song all the time, What

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: the helly? And then now we have a Game seven

13
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: on Tomorrow night at a pm Eastern five Pacific. For

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: those of you who want to tune in, it is

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: the first Game seven since twenty sixteen. I gotta tell you, Bridget,

16
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: when my team isn't in it, I love a game seven.

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Remember how coming into this NBA Finals series, everybody was like,

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: I'm not watching. These are two teams without stars. This

19
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 3: is gonna be boring, worst Finals ever. We have our

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: first Game seven in almost a decade. You're telling me

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: that this is an incredible TV. Plus what happened Thursday night.

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: Who's not tuned into this game? Everybody's talking about it,

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: even if you didn't know who the Pacers were two

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: weeks ago. You're watching on Sunday night.

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: And I know you are all in on the Pacers

26
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: just for fun. I'm gonna be all in on the Thunder.

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Of course you are.

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 2: Why not?

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: I hate me?

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 2: Yes? Well, there is the dog issue. I just very quickly.

31
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: Bridget and I were talking before. I have two dogs.

32
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: I love dogs. Bridget was saying she's not a dog person,

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: but she wants to support.

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 3: Look, you're gonna like have people coming after me. You

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: can't say I'm not a dog person. Let me just

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: be very just be very clear. I like dogs, but

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: like I'm just my husband's allergic to them.

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm staring at her with I'm trying to like pick.

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: My words very wisely. I got bit by a big

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: dog when I was little, and I'm just afraid of dogs.

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: I'll admit a I'm afraid of them.

42
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 2: I'm afraid of them. Growing up.

43
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: My parents have a she Shan, which is like a

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: Teddy bear dog, very small and cute. Love him. His

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: name's Huxley, but like a big dog. Oh, I'm screaming.

46
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: I'm scared.

47
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: I'm terrified. It's fair. I can sometimes be scared of

48
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: big dogs.

49
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: But I'm still a good person.

50
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 2: I would say that's most likely true. I don't know

51
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: how to think about but I think I know you

52
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 2: are still a good person. I just think the Bill

53
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: Murray is a great quote. He says, I trust a

54
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 2: dog that doesn't like a person, but I don't trust

55
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 2: a person that doesn't like a dog. Oh wow, okay,

56
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 2: thanks Bill. So but anyways, you're amazing and I love you,

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 2: and I'm glad you're my friends.

58
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 3: I'm working on it. I'm in therapy to start liking

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: dogs again.

60
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair. All right, let's get back to Game seven,

61
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: unless you just want to talk about dogs for two hours,

62
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: which I totally could do.

63
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: Well, we are talking about dogs, those dogs in Indiana.

64
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: I like that. Good job, nice segue. I like that.

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 2: I like that. All right. You talked about Thursday night

66
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: Pacers Dominate started slow and then just it was all

67
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: pacers all the time.

68
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 3: Which coming into the game, Tyree's Hall had that calf injury,

69
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 3: still has it. He didn't look like he did.

70
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: No, he didn't.

71
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, he wasn't. Maybe didn't put up as many numbers

72
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 3: as like he could have in a Game six, but

73
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,839
Speaker 3: he's still the assists and the way that he performed.

74
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: He that's the difference to me. The effort that the

75
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: Pacers showed. It felt like and of course they needed

76
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: to win to keep the season the series alive, but

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 3: it felt like they were playing with everything and it

78
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: just kind of felt like the thunder came out and

79
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: maybe thought like we have this in the bag, like

80
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 3: ty Reees isn't gonna be playing well, and if he is,

81
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 3: you know, he's not gonna be that big of a threat,

82
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: and they just the energy wasn't there.

83
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: I agree with that. It's interesting. Haliburton said that he

84
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: said to Rick Carlisle, his coach, that if he didn't

85
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: look like himself, pull him out of the game, and

86
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Kyla said, he did look like himself, So I didn't.

87
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: But you bring up a really good point because Sga said,

88
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: we came in, we may have been thinking a week

89
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: and win tonight, but didn't put the effort. He didn't

90
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: say this part. I'm saying his part, but maybe didn't

91
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: put the effort into winning but it's gonna be really interesting.

92
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: Don't expect that kind of performance from the Thunder tomorrow

93
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: by any means.

94
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: And their back home, I mean, they're so good at home.

95
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: They're so good at home.

96
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: But that's just the difference.

97
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: But it was a difference Thursday.

98
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: But like to be a really, really really good team

99
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: in NBA Finals championship team, the difference of like what

100
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 3: you do on the road and at home is it

101
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 3: doesn't feel like the Thunder. And this is why I'm

102
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 3: like all in on the Pacers. It doesn't feel like

103
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 3: I thought it was the song. I mean it's the

104
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: song too for sure, like TikTok's gonna go viral, like

105
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: this is my big moment once he wins. No, but

106
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 3: like the it doesn't feel like they have, for whatever reason,

107
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: all of the pieces. And like the maturity, even what

108
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: you were saying about what Tyree said to Carlisle. You

109
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: have to be so mature to be able to say that,

110
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 3: like take me out if I don't look good and

111
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 3: the ego isn't really there either, like to be able

112
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: to say, like I'll ride the bench, like as long

113
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: as my team can win and advance to Game seven.

114
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: So all that to say, I think there's something missing

115
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: there for the Thunder. And we saw the the Cracks

116
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 3: come come through Thursday. I understand it was in Indiana,

117
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: and I understand the Thunder has like have an insane

118
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: record eight and one this year at home, this playoff,

119
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: the entire playoffs this year. But it just feels like

120
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 3: the Pacers like have something in them and it's gonna

121
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: be a close game. Don't get me wrong, It's gonna

122
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 3: be a close game. I just feel like the veteran

123
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: leaders that are on the Pacers are gonna be the

124
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: difference maker.

125
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: I could see that. I could see that. I think

126
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: I'm really excited about it. I think, I don't know,

127
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be really really fun. Now, there's

128
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: a couple of things that the Thunder did badly well,

129
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 2: a lot of things because they were totally dominated. But

130
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: they had twenty one turnovers. Yeah, SGA had eight of them.

131
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 2: Oklahoma City shot thirty eight point two percent through the

132
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: three quarters where the starters were in the game, but

133
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter they kind of punted the game away.

134
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 2: That is obviously going to have to change. I expected

135
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: to change, but you're right, the Pacers' now you're trying

136
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 2: to convince me, and you maybe do. The Racers do

137
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 2: have a little something and there is a maturity there.

138
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't know why I'm so

139
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 2: in on the Thunder, why I want them to try.

140
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, everybody, if you look at logics and

141
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 3: you look at facts, and you look at the box scores,

142
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: but wants to look at those things? No, Like I understand. Like,

143
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: if you're using your logic, you are thinking the Thunder

144
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 3: are going to win. They're back at home. But I'm

145
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: here to tell you the Pacers are about to shock

146
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: the world. Everybody is worried about this home court advantage

147
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 3: that the Thunder has. What about momentum, because the Pacers

148
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 3: are coming in to Sunday with incredible momentum. They just

149
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 3: beat them by twenty. You know, their defense and depth,

150
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: that is what's going to carry them to becoming NBA champions. SGA,

151
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: you just kind of talked on it a little bit.

152
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: His turnovers in game six. To me, if you're a

153
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 3: star and right, he's the star and if they win,

154
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: he's going to be MVP. You don't make that many

155
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 3: mistakes in a game six where you have the opportunity

156
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 3: all to win.

157
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: It all me a.

158
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: Lack of focus, and that is what I think their

159
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: problem is. Because they have such young guys. There's just

160
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: a different mindset and it's like everybody thinks that the

161
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 3: Thunder is gonna win and they are going to go

162
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: home and they're going to do it. But something about

163
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: like being the underdog for the Pacers that I just

164
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: think they believe themselves and doesn't matter that nobody else does,

165
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: and they're going to do it.

166
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think the Thunder for sure going to win.

167
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: I just for some reason have decided I'm all in

168
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: on this young Thunder team. I also feel like Oklahoma City,

169
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: like they're the they're the big tea team and all

170
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: the things. I don't know that that is where I'm

171
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: at right now.

172
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 3: But I have against Indiana. Is it something to do

173
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: with combine?

174
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: No, A conbine would make me love Indiana. I love

175
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: the combine.

176
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 3: How many times at Elmos?

177
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: I want to see the Pacers go to Prime and celebrate,

178
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: celebrated to Saint Elmos. I really I did. Can you

179
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 2: imagine Prime if they win? I can't. It would be

180
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: like the combine times a million and a half.

181
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 3: For everybody who doesn't know. Prime is a steakhouse in

182
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 3: Indiana Indianapolis where during combine they stay open until like

183
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: four in the morning. Yeah, and everybody goes. Everybody gets

184
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: in trouble, Like I mean, nobody gets in trouble, but

185
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 3: like they people are what do you do in staying

186
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: out there until just late morning? And it's just it's chaos.

187
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 4: It is.

188
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: It's like chaos.

189
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: It's like camp for these college uh not college, they're professional,

190
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: professional coaches, and it's chaos.

191
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 2: It's it's it's really busy. I can't even imagine what

192
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: would happen.

193
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: You walk in there and then you like walk out

194
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 3: and you've been in there for six hours and you're like, wait,

195
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: where at the time?

196
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: I know time time is not a thing in Prime. Yeah,

197
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: which is very interesting.

198
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: And I need the pacers twin so everybody can go

199
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: party at Prime.

200
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: I think Prime feels very similarly to you do that

201
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: to you, I really do. I think San Elmo's also

202
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: feels very similarly.

203
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: Like how about a shrimp cocktail?

204
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 2: Yes, with the horse radish yep.

205
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: I can like feel it in my nose right now.

206
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty great. If you have a cold, I

207
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: recommend going there, all right, So let's say they Well,

208
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say both both teams win. You just mentioned

209
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 2: SJA would probably of course be the MVP should the

210
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: Thunder win. But who is your MVP? I want to

211
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: know who your MVP would be on either team?

212
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 3: SGA for sure on the Thunder. And I understand this

213
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 3: is probably gonna make people mad that I'm gonna say

214
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: Halliburton because I know that you know, he hasn't been

215
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: essentially the star every single game, but what he did

216
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: Game one, remember the point three seconds yep, and then

217
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: playing on this CAF injury. To me, that is an MVP.

218
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: You are the most valuable player for this team, Like

219
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: you're putting everything out there to help this team win

220
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: a championship. And not just what he's done on the court,

221
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: but like the way he's gotten his teammates to rally

222
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 3: around him and like just play with such momentum, motivation energy.

223
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 3: I'm all in on him, you know, I am. I

224
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: was trying to find a jersey. I'm actually wearing a

225
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 3: Sparks jersey today, second best to I'm like, I want

226
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 3: to get a Halibert in jersey, but I'm also from Boston,

227
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: so this is kind of confusing me. I'm like, why

228
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 3: am I rooting for the Pacers?

229
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't see pay the Pacers is Boston's biggest rival,

230
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: But like, why am I? But wouldn't you rather the

231
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: conference to conference wins? See? This is where I go

232
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: back and forth. Okay, like what are you?

233
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 3: What are you?

234
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a Lakers fan.

235
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I know, But like, are you someone

236
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: who would want the same conference or the opposing conference?

237
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: So two things. I probably actually wouldn't even think about

238
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 2: the conference. I would just go with who I wanted

239
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 2: to win. I am a person that would prefer whoever

240
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: beat my team to win because I'd rather lose to

241
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: the winner than And by I I didn't play in

242
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 2: any of the games with the team.

243
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 3: I like, of course you did, Yes, he yelled at

244
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 3: the TV.

245
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: Yes, I did. You're right a lot. Actually I did

246
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: that a lot. We're going to talk about that a

247
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: little later in the show. But I was yelling at

248
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: the TV a lot this week. So I don't know

249
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: if I would actually think of the conference. I'm just

250
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: really trying to help you out. But okay, it's a

251
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 2: good way to think about it. I mean, maybe that's

252
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 2: why I'm SOI w in on the thunder. I just

253
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: want the West to win.

254
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: I feel like I shouldn't want anybody to win, experience

255
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 3: to win. Okay, all right, fine, I'll just admit it.

256
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 3: I really want the Pacers and tell Halber into just

257
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 3: shock everyone so that I could don't sound like crazy.

258
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 2: I think what's funny is that you just said, I'll

259
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: just admit it, as if you hadn't been talking about

260
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 2: the last twelve minutes, but you wanted.

261
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: Was not being unbiased?

262
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: You imagine I'm biased? Were you going to talk about

263
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 2: it that you want the Pacers to win? It is?

264
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: It's a little ars but in a good way.

265
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 3: Okay.

266
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: I don't think there's something wrong with it. I like

267
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: the I was a make up, a word of reality

268
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: of it. It's not a real word, but I like it.

269
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 2: Nonethe last, I want the game to be tonight. Why

270
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 2: do we have to wait till Sunday? Well, you know

271
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: TV writes all that stuff.

272
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 3: I know, but like, come on Saturday night, game seven.

273
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 3: I know that sounds like a dream come true. It

274
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 3: would have been a dream Sunday night. We're gonna have

275
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: to get up and you know, have our lives on Monday.

276
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true. Though we're on the West coast, We're

277
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 2: lucky because it's five o'clock game, so for us it'll

278
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 2: be easier to get up and have our lives on Monday.

279
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 2: But I don't know, I feel like I'm forty seven.

280
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: Maybe bump in tomorrow night.

281
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 5: Yeah.

282
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 3: Any Pacers fans, if you're looking into if no, if

283
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: you're like listening to this, like I don't know what

284
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 3: to do. If they win, go to Prime, say and

285
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: say we sent you. Say say the girls from the

286
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 3: NFL Combine sent you.

287
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 2: Yep, they will. They will probably know it's us. Maybe not,

288
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: but I think I think we should that. Okay, I

289
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: don't know. I'm really excited about this game. I actually

290
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: like a Sunday game, to be honest, you, I like

291
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: a Sunday night game seven because you end the week

292
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: with it. You've like had your day. It's five o'clock.

293
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 2: I think it also makes me feel a little bit

294
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: like Sunday night football, Like there's a big sporting event

295
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: on on Sunday night, and so sometimes I miss the

296
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 2: football often.

297
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

298
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: Wait, feel like that.

299
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 3: I totally cut you off and went on a tangent,

300
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: Who are your MVP?

301
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: Oh?

302
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: Yes, okay a SJA though I okay, I could make

303
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 2: a case and I don't know that this would win,

304
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: But I could make a case for Jalen Williams. I

305
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 2: think he's been very important in the series recently. He's

306
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 2: been able to kind of take over, So I would

307
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 2: make a case for him, but probably SGA, And then

308
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: I think I would give it to Halliburton. But I

309
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 2: think Pascal could also A case could be made for him.

310
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 3: I know, I thought you were going to for sure

311
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 3: say him. I know a lot of people think he

312
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 3: should be MVP, which I understand.

313
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Tyresee might even think that he

314
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 2: should be MVP.

315
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: I'm sure he does. Like he has such a yeah,

316
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: caring like it just seems like he's very open to

317
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: he being a team player.

318
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he has opened to being a team player.

319
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 3: Did you see what his This is actually in one

320
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: of my later segments, but did you see what his

321
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: what he said about what his wife told him or girlfriend.

322
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: Before Love Island? We got to put something on that Calf.

323

Speaker 3: I mean, like, come on, you guys, have you not

324
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,600

343
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: about something that I'm so excited to talk about. I've

344
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: been talking about it for days, and we're gonna talk

345
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: about it now.

346
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 4: Now.

347
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 2: I will say this, The Dodgers and the Padres have

348
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: their own games this week, and they're not playing each other.

349
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: Fernando Tatisa's hand is fine, we can get into that.

350
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: But this week we saw the Potters and the Dodgers

351
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: in what I'm gonna say is the best rivalry in

352
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: baseball right now. I want to hear what you have

353
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: to say. But it was a crazy series starting with

354
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 2: Monday night. I was at the game, sho Otani making

355
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: his major league pitching, not major legue pitching debut, but

356
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: his debut since the injury, the debut for the Dodgers.

357
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 2: It was so quiet in that stadium you could have

358
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: heard a pin drop. But show hey basically making a

359
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: rehab start against Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis, whereas most

360
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 2: people do it in the minor leagues. But did you

361
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 2: watch any of the series? Did you see all the

362
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: hit batsman? What do you think?

363
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I cannot wait to talk to you about this

364
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 3: and full disclosure. Tracy and I like started talking about

365
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 3: this before the show started, and I said stop because

366
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 3: I want to get your thoughts on air. You're probably

367
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 3: the first person that I thought of when all this

368
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 3: was happening, because Tracy, would you call yourself like the

369
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: president of the show. Heytan Otani fan club.

370
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: I share it with my mom. But yeah, your mom,

371
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: I would say that's that's fair.

372
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, absolutely, I'm actually disappointing.

373
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 2: Oh, Vice president, a lot of things.

374
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have so much show Hey, Otani Gear, I'm

375
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 3: kind of upset that you're not wearing anything tonight with

376
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: show Hay's name on it.

377
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 2: I know that is kind of surprising. I thought about

378
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: it on my way here. I did the last two

379
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: weeks I wore show heo Tani Gear here, so I

380
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: didn't know if it was overkilled. But then that's ridiculous,

381
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: So that was a mistake on my end.

382
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: It won't really Yes, we'll apologize to the fan club

383
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 3: on the show. Hey, but no, this is crazy to

384
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 3: me so many different thoughts, and as somebody who grew

385
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: up born and raised in Boston, I was like, the

386
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: reason why I fell in love with sports is because

387
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: I was there Game four Alcs between the Red Sox

388
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: and the Yankees. When the Red Sox won thanks to

389
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: Big Poppy, I could just keep going and going and going.

390
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 3: But anyways, when they reverse the curse, like I know,

391
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: a good rivalry and this one Red Sox Yankees will

392
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 3: always be the best rivalry in baseball. You can argue

393
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: me on that for decades for his like forever, it'll

394
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 3: be the best rivalry in baseball. But right now, in

395
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 3: this very moment, Dodgers Padres is the best rivalry because

396
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: it has just gotten so crazy and both teams have

397
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: such big stars. When you have stars as big as

398
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,479
Speaker 3: they have, there's so much pressure to win and when things,

399
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: you know, Padres always feel a little threatened by the Dodgers, right,

400
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: like correct San Diego and Los Angeles not that far apart.

401
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 3: The Dodgers have always been kind of like the big brother, right,

402
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: and the Padres want to unseat them. They want to

403
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: be the one that is at the top. When you

404
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: think about good baseball in California, it just hasn't happened.

405
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 3: And so when they have the opportunity to take them down,

406
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: like it's like when you have somebody. Of course we

407
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 3: don't because we're not jealous people. But if you have

408
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 3: somebody that you're competing with in your industry, right and

409
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 3: every little tiny thing they do wrong, you maximize it

410
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 3: because you're so upset you want to beat them. That's

411
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: what's happening right now. Over eight over four games, eight

412
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 3: players were hit, including show Hey Yes over seven games

413
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: ten players were.

414
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: Hit like this has gotten too.

415
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 3: It was just kept boiling, boiling, boiling, and then we

416
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 3: saw when both benches erupted. We can talk about it,

417
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 3: and I want to hear your thoughts on There were

418
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: definitely two different scenario two players hit by pitches, but

419
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: they were very different.

420
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 2: They were very, very different. And the thing with these

421
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: teams is they generally also don't like each other. The

422
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 2: two managers went after each other. That's what happened the

423
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 2: other night when Tatis Scott hit. So Tatis Scott hit

424
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: a number of times in this series. I really don't

425
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: believe any of them were intentional. You know, Andy Pie

426
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: has got hit on Monday night and he thought it

427
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: was intentional. I don't think it was intentional. I think

428
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: Andy kind of got excited there. The Padres manager, I think,

429
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 2: said something pretty not nice to him, Basically, who the

430
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 2: belief do you think you are that we'd even hit you?

431
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 2: Not cool? Not cool. So then Andy Pie has went

432
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 2: on to have like a tremendous series. But both nights

433
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: Tatis Scott hit. Show Hey then gets hit intentionally, I mean,

434
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 2: and then I don't think anyone can argue that.

435
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: And here's my thing. Sorry to interrupt you, but like

436
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 3: I have to get this off my chest. If you

437
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 3: were going to hit somebody.

438
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: Don't hit Show Hey. O Tani.

439
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 3: Do you know how big Japan is the amount of

440
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: fans that show has internationally and here in America? Like,

441
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 3: why are you doing that?

442
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 2: Will you pick someone? I mean, why are you hitting

443
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 2: Show Hey?

444
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: I know that he is a star, right and like

445
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 3: you want revenge, come on, it's you're gonna hit.

446
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: Someone, hit someone else. And also the thing with Show

447
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: Hey is he was so classy about it. It's such

448
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 2: a nice he's such a nice guy. The second time

449
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: he got hit, he waved off the dug out. There

450
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: already been like one clearing dugout. That night he waved

451
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 2: off the dugout. He went to talk to the Padres players.

452
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: He shakes hands with the first baseman, like he's such

453
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: a class act. And then you have Manny Machado after

454
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: the game saying the Dodgers better pray that Fernando t

455
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 2: has teases X rays come back negative. They better light

456
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: a candle while the candle worked to tease from the lineup.

457
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 2: Last night against the Royals, a game the Padres lost

458
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: by the way, but you know, that's neither here nor there.

459
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: It's funny because Dodgers Giants historically has been the rivalry,

460
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 2: but the Padres I for me, I disliked the Padres

461
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: way more than I disliked the Giants.

462
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 3: And now everybody's just turned their attention to August. Yeah,

463
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 3: those tickets prices have to be like soaring, because I

464
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: want to know what's happening next, Like, yeah, this is

465
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: what fans want to see, right. It's like, sometimes you

466
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: go to a game, and especially we see this a

467
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 3: lot in the NBA. Sometimes you buy tickets, you go

468
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 3: to a game, and ticket prices are so expensive, so

469
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: sometimes maybe you can only afford one game a season

470
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 3: and you go to see your star player and they're

471
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: not playing right and it's so frustrating. And sometimes it's

472
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 3: like the players are just in there and they're going

473
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 3: through the motions. You hate to see that. As a fan,

474
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 3: what I want to see is these players humanized.

475
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: And you don't really see that in baseball, no, and.

476
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 3: Not recently, Like it used to be like this way

477
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: back in the day, but recently we haven't seen this.

478
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: And people say, like, oh, baseball, you know, the sport

479
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 3: is dying We saw them with the pitch count and

480
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 3: the clock and trying to do things to get people

481
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 3: and fans back in stadiums. But now this is gonna

482
00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 3: get people's attention.

483
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: Like I love it. And they're playing similarly in August,

484
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 2: where they're playing each other multiple times within like a

485
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 2: ten day period. I'm so curious to see if the

486
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 2: league issues awarding like before the series, because Suarez got

487
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 2: kicked out, thrown out after hitting show Hay, which I

488
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 2: fully agree with.

489
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: We just don't you agree with like this, How long

490
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: he suspended?

491
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think three games is right. I think both

492
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 2: managers being suspended one game was correct. I think three

493
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: games right now because I only didn't intentionally throw at him.

494
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 2: He threw it him in a place that you don't

495
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: intentionally throw it a player in this bag, and that's

496
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: just not It's just not cool. And I'm not just

497
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: saying that because it's show Hey. But you know who

498
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 2: is cool who? And who was wearing the best well, yes,

499
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: but who's wearing the best hat ever? Today? That would

500
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: be the great Martin Weiss, who's gonna give us an update. Thanks,

501
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 2: you're welcome.

502
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 7: Earlier today, with some of the Yankees hit four home

503
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 7: runs starting to Patrick Clark. Schmidt had a no hit

504
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 7: or going to the seventh inning, ended up getting pulled.

505
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 7: Yankees only gave a one hit on the day, beating

538
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: but we're gonna talk some more because our guests, Andrew

539
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 2: Schlecht of The Athletic, who covers the Thunder, is here

540
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: to help us preview Game seven from his perspective. Andrew,

541
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: Welcome to the show.

542
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 8: Thanks for having me absolutely well.

543
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: Welcome back. Actually, you were here with Nicky and I

544
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 2: kind of earlier in the playoffs, so so welcome back.

545
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 2: So Bridget and I were talking a lot Bridget feels

546
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: strongly that the Pacers have a little something extra going

547
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 2: on in terms of focus. You're around the Thunder obviously

548
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: all of the time. What are you seeing from them?

549
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 2: And what did you see from them after Game six

550
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 2: that makes you think they can pull off the Game

551
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 2: seven victory.

552
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, they've had these games throughout the playoffs where they

553
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 8: just kind of lay an egg. They did it even

554
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 8: against Minnesota. It's not like that they've played like a

555
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 8: great series, but they played pretty awful in Game four

556
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 8: that led to them really bouncing back big. And the

557
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 8: thing that I think the Thunder so confident about is

558
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 8: that they always respond. I think they have always had

559
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 8: a really good like response to to like what the

560
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 8: Pacers have done, but a lot of times they have

561
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 8: trouble responding in the moment, and so I think they

562
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 8: go back to the drawing board, make some adjustments, and

563
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 8: then they typically respond after a loss. But I tend

564
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 8: to agree like the Pacers played is much greater focus

565
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 8: than the Thunder did. And I don't know if some

566
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 8: of that is this Thunder knew they had the backstop

567
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 8: of a Game seven, whereas the Pacers were playing for

568
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 8: their lives. But yeah, the thunder. When this thunder show

569
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,199
Speaker 8: their age, it's in moments like this where there's not

570
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 8: enough focus, there's too many turnovers, there's not they don't

571
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 8: really moved the ball very much, and then the defense

572
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 8: doesn't have the detail that usually does.

573
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 3: Were you in the locker room after that loss?

574
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 2: I was.

575
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 8: I was intentionally in there because you can, you can

576
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 8: really be in two different areas after these these playoff games.

577
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 8: You can go to the podium and wait for guys,

578
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 8: or you can go into the locker room. It's like I,

579
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 8: after an embarrassment like that, I'm going to go park

580
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 8: myself in the locker room. And it was it was quiet.

581
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 8: I don't know if i'd call it somber, I would

582
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 8: just say it was really quiet in there. There was

583
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 8: like some like talk here and there from guys. I

584
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 8: didn't see anybody that was like despondent, but like they

585
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 8: knew what that that they had messed up, and I

586
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 8: think that they're ready to respond. But yeah, mostly mostly

587
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 8: just pretty quiet in there after that after that loss.

588
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: So you I assume you cover this team all the time.

589
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: Were there after the game one loss?

590
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: Like?

591
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 3: What was? Were there any similarities in the locker room

592
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: after both of these losses, And was there something you

593
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: saw in the locker room after game one that led

594
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: you to believe they would respond in game two? And

595
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 3: was that apparent after Game six? Like are there any

596
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: similarities there?

597
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean they're they're pretty similar after any loss, honestly,

598
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 8: like regular season or postseason, Like they they stay pretty

599
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 8: steady that That's one of the things about this team

600
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 8: is there's not really anyone on the team that's really

601
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 8: that emotional, Like they don't have anybody that's gonna kind

602
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 8: of get out of control or get upset in moments

603
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 8: like that. I think that they all understand is they

604
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 8: all have the same goal and that you know, I don't.

605
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 8: I don't know that I The only real similarity that

606
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 8: I see is that they're pretty much this way after

607
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 8: any loss and so nothing nothing that I can truly

608
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 8: take away. And its under themselves are pretty good at

609
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 8: kind of holding their cards close to the vest, especially

610
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 8: if there's media or they're at the podium or anything

611
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 8: like that, Like they don't really want to give any

612
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 8: fuel to anybody, and they do a pretty good job

613
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 8: of that.

614
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 2: Andrew, do you think it hurts? I mean, Granted they're

615
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals and going to Game seven, so

616
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: maybe not. But do you think it's important for a

617
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 2: team to have somebody who maybe gets super emotional, super

618
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: riled up, not angry, but can kind of bring up

619
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: the other players in that way.

620
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 8: I think that it's more important to have one of

621
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 8: those guys on the court than it is necessarily in

622
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 8: the locker room. I think one of the hallmarks of

623
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 8: this team is that they really try to be present

624
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 8: with their emotions and just overall, it's like that's kind

625
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 8: of one of their mantras is just to be where

626
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 8: your feet are, and they do a good job of that.

627
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 8: And part of this is like the type of guys

628
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 8: that they've selected to be honest, team all have like

629
00:27:54,520 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 8: some emotional intelligence and that's very intentional. Now Listen, if

630
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 8: I'm sitting here tomorrow night they lose this game, I

631
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 8: might feel a lot different. I mean, like, man, maybe

632
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 8: it's somebody in there to like freak out and like

633
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 8: break something after Team six, you know, but they win,

634
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 8: like you know, like winning just here is all and

635
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 8: it makes you look at everything through a different lens.

636
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 8: And so I mean I like this team a lot,

637
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 8: like personality wise and what they've built. They've obviously built

638
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 8: a very great team, but and some of this is too,

639
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 8: Like if they somehow lose this game tomorrow, I don't

640
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 8: think they're going to change anything about the players they

641
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 8: have or the way they built the roster. I think

642
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 8: they're going to continue on business as usual and they

643
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 8: would probably make the same moves win or lose tomorrow.

644
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 8: So I think if they do need a guy like that,

645
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 8: I'm not sure that guy's you know, coming down the fike.

646
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: Obviously, the Thunder has a chance to win their first

647
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: title or first since relocating, obviously changing their name to

648
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: oklahom a City Thunder. What is the city like heading

649
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: into game seven?

650
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 8: I mean, you can't go anywhere right now. I mean,

651
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 8: my wife just got home from Target, and she's like

652
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 8: standing in line saying that like the person that checking

653
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 8: everybody out, just telling her, telling everybody how stress she is.

654
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 8: He's like, I just I can't even watch like the

655
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 8: last she's I can't watch until the last three minutes,

656
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 8: and if they're losing, I just don't watch like everybody.

657
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 8: He's on pins and needles right now, just hoping, you

658
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 8: know that they can actually pull this off because I

659
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 8: do think like it would it would change a lot

660
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 8: about like just the city, the way that the way

661
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 8: that everybody here, you know, thinks about it, you know, globally,

662
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 8: I think that would change the way that people think

663
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 8: about Oklahoma City if they're able to pull this off. Yeah.

664
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 8: I mean, you can't go anywhere without seeing a thunderflag.

665
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 8: You can't go anywhere without seeing somebody like having Shay's

666
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 8: face on a cookie. I saw somebody that had Shay,

667
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 8: Shane and Dort's face on like the top of like

668
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 8: a latte.

669
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: You know.

670
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 8: It's just like everybody is focus on the Thunder here

671
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 8: in Oklahoma City. It's a parent wherever you go. Uh,

672
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 8: It's it's a really cool time to be a Thunder

673
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 8: fan and a cool time, you know, to live in

674
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 8: Oklahoma City.

675
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: And this is why I'm all in on the Thunder.

676
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: I love it. Everything you just said to me a

677
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: little bit, everything you just said goes to why I'm

678
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 2: all in on the Thunder. I would get a latte

679
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 2: with Shay's face on it so fast it would make

680
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: your headspin. Is hell with them?

681
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 3: Where are the lattes with what the holy face?

682
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: In Indiana? They're not. They're not in Oklahoma City, so

683
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 2: you obviously know the thunder best. But in these last

684
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: few games and you've gotten to know the Pacers a

685
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: little bit more, so what has impressed you about them

686
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: and what makes you think they'll be the ones to

687
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 2: pull off the wind tomorrow.

688
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 8: They're just relentless, but they they just they relentless and

689
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 8: they don't die, and they're constantly finding little adjustments here

690
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 8: and there to make things work. I mean, Caliburton is limited,

691
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 8: but to most people, he didn't look limited because of

692
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 8: the way that they were coached and a lot of that.

693
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 8: You know, Rick Carlisle is just I mean, he's one

694
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 8: of the best ever and he's showing why in this

695
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 8: series is that there's not been one game tactically that's

696
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 8: look the same.

697
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 5: You know, they.

698
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 8: In game in game five, they're picking up Shane you know,

699
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 8: ninety four feet. In game six they're picking them up

700
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 8: a half court. Like they're just changing things all the time,

701
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 8: and they're kind of changing where like the man help

702
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 8: comes from. They're changing how they attack offensively. Halliburton, you know,

703
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 8: certainly wasn't like at his best, but he was finding

704
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 8: little tricks here and there. You know to score and

705
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 8: to really not elevate off of that hamstring like he's

706
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 8: or that calf. I mean, he's done a really good

707
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 8: job of just kind of picking his spots and finding

708
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 8: his ways. And then, like the thing about them is

709
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 8: like it's gonna be by committee. They're gonna win these

710
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 8: games by committee. That's how they've done it all seasons.

711
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 8: And they're going to win it with their defense too.

712
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 8: This is they've become and it doesn't look like it

713
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 8: personnel wise. On paper, this does not look like one

714
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 8: of the best defenses, but you watch them and they

715
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 8: are just relentless, creative and really one of the best

716
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 8: defenses I've seen. So if they can get threes to fall,

717
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 8: which will be a really big deal, and they can

718
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 8: continue to get bench scoring, I think that they certainly

719
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 8: have a shot.

720
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 3: I want to go back to the thunder for a

721
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: minute and ask you about SGA. I know you're around

722
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: this team all the time. What is something that maybe

723
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: we don't see about him that you could share with

724
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: us and in your mind? Is he the MVP if

725
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 3: the thunder windmor or Sunday night, Yeah, I think.

726
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 8: He's definitely the finals MVP. I mean he's been the

727
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 8: most consistent player on the team's I mean, he's the

728
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 8: driving force of everything they do. I think that most

729
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 8: people will if you watch him, like he's pretty serious,

730
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 8: pretty stoic, that you don't get a whole lot of

731
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 8: personality from him, especially at the podium and even in

732
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 8: like the sideline interviews, you don't get a lot. But

733
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 8: this is like one of the most joyful guys and

734
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 8: like one of the most fun people to be around.

735
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 8: I think that, like Jalen Williams does a good job

736
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,719
Speaker 8: of exuding that all the time, and so you probably

737
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 8: think like the fun like goofiness is coming from him

738
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 8: and Shaye like maybe is like so professionally kind of

739
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 8: rolls his eyes, but like Shaye's part of that too,

740
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 8: Like he's a part of like the fun goofiness, Like

741
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 8: he's participating sometimes leading that you know, within this team.

742
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 8: So I think that's a side that not a lot

743
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 8: of people get to see, and I don't get I

744
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 8: wouldn't say I get to see it a lot, but

745
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 8: I'll get to see like a little glimpses of it

746
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 8: here and there, and it's pretty cool, Like you can

747
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 8: you can see how much these guys really look up

748
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 8: to him and you know, let him lead their group.

749
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: Well, if they win torow night, I have a feeling

750
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: we are all going to see a very very joyful

751
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 2: side of Shay.

752
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, I hope. I hope they all will feel

753
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 8: like they can let loose a little bit because there

754
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 8: is like this and I think it's really good for

755
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 8: the for them as a team because you don't hear

756
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 8: much from you don't get much bulletin board material from

757
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 8: the Thunder, and a lot of that is like their

758
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 8: professionalism is top notch, and as like somebody that's following

759
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 8: the team, like that's not always the greatest thing. We

760
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 8: want fun stuff to talk about. We want you know,

761
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 8: clips that we can post and all that. But I

762
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 8: hope that they feel like they can let loose a

763
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 8: little bit, you know, if they if they witness thing,

764
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 8: and I would love to see specifically, I'd love to

765
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 8: see Mark Dagnelton, Sam Presty let loose a little bit

766
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,359
Speaker 8: because they're they're very buttoned up and it's gotten them

767
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 8: to a great place. But man, I hope I hope

768
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 8: to see them celebrating if if they can.

769
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 2: Pull this off, well, we will be watching Andrew Schleck

770
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 2: from the Athletic. Thank you so much for joining us today.

Speaker 2: throw at you? Don't be rude. There's no reason to

825
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: be rude. Why you gotta be rude right now? I

826
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: just threw with the guy, not a purpose, but you

827
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: hit him, so don't be rude.

828
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: Like you're insulting him. But also like your picture clearly

829
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: sinks because you just hit my player. So yeah, do

830
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,640

831
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 3: needs Oh my god, no way, she needs the help.

832
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 3: She can't put this entire league on her back. Finally

833
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: a teammate is there to support her outwardly, Sophie Cunningham,

834
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not mad at her.

835
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'll piggyback on it and do be Sophie

836
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 2: Cunningham and have some fun with it on TikTok because

837
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: there's a TikTok trend going around with a song from

838
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 2: Selena Gomez Can't keep my hands, Can't keep my hands

839
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 2: myself And then everyone says, I mean I could, but

840
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: why I let I want to? And that was funny

841
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: that she did and she said, and I'm obviously joking,

842
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: but they can't keep my hands to myself.

843
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: I didn't see that.

844
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's pretty cute. So I enjoyed the creativity.

845
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 2: I liked kind of the the tongue in cheek of it,

846
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:10,919
Speaker 2: laughing at herself. It was fun.

847
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 3: I do like this era of social media athletes. I

848
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 3: know some people don't, but it's so fun to be

849
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 3: able to get to know them what they're thinking in

850
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 3: real time.

851
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

852

Speaker 3: Okay, So I told you guys, the reason I got

875
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 3: into sports was oh four Red Sox. I'm gonna tell

876
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,960
Speaker 3: you this story real quick. I was so obsessed with

877
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,360
Speaker 3: Johnny Damon. I had a cardboard cutout like six foot

878
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 3: tall Johnny Damon in my bedroom. When he got traded

879
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: to the Yankees, I was in like fifth grade. My

880
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 3: mom opened the door. She goes Bridge, I got some

881
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: bad news for you. I said, don't say it. She

882
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: said Johnny was traded. I said, don't say it not

883
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: She goes to the Yankees. I was devastated. That was

884
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 3: in two thousand and what five or six, like maybe

885
00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 3: it was even four, I don't know. It was a

886
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 3: long time ago, and I am still mad at the

887
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 3: Red Sox and they just do this. That is what

888
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 3: they do.

889
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: That is what they you know what, don't tick off

890
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 2: Bridge and Condon no.

891
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 3: Especially not. You want to know what I did with

Speaker 3: burned our Johnny Damon cutout.

896
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 2: There wasn't Johnny's fault.

897
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 3: I was heartbroken. That was my first heartbreak. Imagine how

898

Speaker 3: I don't really I never really had a WNBA team.

933
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 3: I guess the Sun growing up, okay, the closest team,

934
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 3: But since coming to LA, I've become a Sparks fan

935
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 3: and they are really entertaining a lot of great a

936
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: lot of great players on their team. Cameron Briank one

937
00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 3: of my favorite athletes coming out of college, and so

938
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 3: it's been fun to follow her story as well. But

939
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,839
Speaker 3: uh yeah, I mean, I just am so happy that

940
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 3: we're gonna be able to talk about the w I

941
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 3: don't want to jump ahead, but I have a lot

942
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: of thoughts on what went down this week in the WM.

943
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,280
Speaker 2: Y let's do it jump ahead.

944
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 3: Okay, there's no you don't want to talk about the

945
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 3: Uh should we talk about the fan votes first?

946
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 2: We could talk about the fan votes, We could talk

947
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 2: about all kinds of things, but yes, you guys. The

948
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 2: All Star Game is July nineteenth, right now. Caitlin Clark

949
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: and the feasts of Collier. Collier or Collier do you

950
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 2: know Khalier? I feel like it's Kllie, maybe it's Claire

951
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 2: either way, the top two fan vote getters at the moment.

952
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 2: But the game is not till July nineteenth, so there

953
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 2: is a lot of time. But I'm excited for that

954
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 2: game too. That's gonna be fun to watch, so much talent, fun.

955
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,239
Speaker 3: The fact that Kaitlyn Clark has so many more fan

956
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 3: votes already yet than everybody else thirty thousand more.

957
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 2: It's a lot more, significantly more. Not surprising, of course,

958
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,919
Speaker 2: but it's a it's pretty awesome, all right. I want

959
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: you to jump in to what you want to talk about,

960
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: because I know it involves Claitland Clark, and I think

961
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 2: I know you well enough to know what you want

962
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: to say. What do you think I'm gonna say? Think

963
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 2: you're gonna talk about what happened earlier this week with

964
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 2: her and then Sophia Cunningham coming to her defense, all

965
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 2: the things.

966
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: I'd want to make sure we said. No, Fisa Collier, right,

967
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 3: it is Collie. It is Collie. You were right. I

968
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 3: thought it was and then you said it and I

969
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 3: was like, oh, I'm second guessing myself. You know we

970
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 3: second guess ourselves. Yes, we do, okay, So speaking of

971
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,760
Speaker 3: being a woman, I do have a lot of thoughts

972
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 3: on that. So what happened in the game, if you

973
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 3: didn't see J. C. Sheldon poked Caitlin Clark in the eye,

974
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 3: leading to a flagrant fowl. Marina Maybury push Clark on

975
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 3: the floor, got a technical foul final minute. Sophie Cunningham,

976
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 3: we talked about her in the bottom of last hour,

977
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 3: fouled Sheldon hard led to a little bit of a

978
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 3: shoving match. Okay, so here are my thoughts. When I

979
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 3: initially think about this, you know, I'm like, oh, that's

980
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 3: a bad look for the w Like we want to

981
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 3: amplify them, we want them to focus on their skills

982
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: and athleticism, Like why is this so distracted? And then

983
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, no, you know what, society still holds outdated

984
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 3: ideas about how women should behave. They want them to

985
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: be graceful and composed. So when they get labeled as

986
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,359
Speaker 3: classless in a city situation like this, it makes us

987
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: turn our heads. And you know, this is why women's

988
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 3: sports isn't followed because they're just all about you know,

989
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 3: these pettiness and the drama, and they can't just focus

990
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: on the game. How about the NBA, how about NHL bras,

991
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 3: how about MLB.

992
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say what we talked about about

993
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 2: the other day. Everybody loved the benches clearing. He loved

994
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 2: a dugout clearing in the Padres Dodgers games. So why

995
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: is different protect your teammates.

996
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 3: They say, that's the best part of the game. And

997
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 3: men's oh things just got shippy in women's sports. Oh

998
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: did it go too far? Is this ruining the game?

999
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 3: Those are the narratives, But the real competition and real emotion,

1000
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: that's what the fans want. It reminds fans, Oh, these

1001
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 3: players are human too. They are actually having just as

1002
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 3: much passion about what's going on as I am as

1003
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,879
Speaker 3: a fan. It's not about women being too aggressive. It's

1004
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: about us not being ready to let women express that aggression.

1005
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: Freely a men until that's allowed.

1006
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: Kaitlin Clark the entity that the incident that happened her

1007
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 3: getting poked in the it's gonna continue to be breaking

1008
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 3: news instead of just part of the game. So we

1009
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: as a society have to let the women play like

1010
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: the men. We want a quality. Let it happen and

1011
00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 3: don't say it's ruining the game. Even we have to

1012
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 3: shift our mindset because even me initially, because society tells

1013
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 3: us that that's not what women should do, my mind

1014
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 3: went there and I'm glad that I had a minute

1015
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 3: to think about it and realize, no, bring it on,

1016
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 3: bring on the drama, like bring on the Angel Reese.

1017
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark, I love it. You know it's gonna make

1018
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 3: people watch, and that's what people want to see. And

1019
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 3: it's not taking away from what they're doing on the court.

1020
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: Absolutely, not like any rivalry in any sport. You talked

1021
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: about Yankees, Red Sox, you we talked about doctors, Padres, NHL,

1022
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 2: all of these things. Like you want the rivalry, that's

1023
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 2: what makes it fun. You want players on the court

1024
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 2: to not like each other, to compete against each other.

1025
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 2: It's funny. I actually when I saw what happened, I

1026
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 2: was like, that away, Sophie. I loved it.

1027
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 3: We have her other teammates men.

1028
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 2: I don't know, but she really because they really have

1029
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 2: not been there to stick up for her, to defend

1030
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: not defend her, that's not the right term, but.

1031
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 3: How have her back? Who knows what happens in the

1032
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 3: locker room?

1033
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 2: Yeah we don't. We don't really know. But I saw

1034
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 2: it and I was like, thank god, it's good for her.

1035
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 2: But you're right, this is part of the game. No

1036
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 2: one would be upset about it if it was an

1037
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 2: NBA game.

1038
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: And it's just frustrating because of course the other there

1039
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 3: are women in the WNBA that have been putting in

1040
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 3: the effort for years, you know, and they have been

1041
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 3: trying to say, hey, look at what we're doing. We're athletic,

1042
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 3: we have skills, Come watch us. And it hasn't worked.

1043
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 3: And because of what Caitlyn Clark did in college, she

1044
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 3: has brought such an incredible amount of viewers to the WNBA,

1045
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: and some of the older women are jealous and upset.

1046
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 3: But why why do you have to be mad that

1047
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 3: she's the one who did it. We're talking about the WNBA,

1048
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 3: we're talking about you as well as Caitlyn Clark.

1049
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 2: So why can't we as.

1050
00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 3: Women like champion one another and this movement. Let them

1051
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 3: be chippy, let them get mad at each other, but

1052
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 3: also appreciate it, appreciate the shift, and appreciate the attention.

1053
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 2: I like that. I don't understand either. I think it's

1054
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: it's good for everybody. It's good for the game. We're

1055
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 2: talking about it. We're talking here, we are talking about it,

1056
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 2: and we've been talking about it for a while, and

1057
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 2: we talk about it pretty whatever. We're on the show.

1058
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: We're talking about this every week. So do I think

1059
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: it's amazing?

1060
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: I think this is only the beginning. But again, like,

1061
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 3: let these feuds build, yes, because that's what's gonna sell tickets.

1062
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 3: That's what I'm going to tune in for a watch sports.

1063
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 3: You don't think I'm gonna tune in for the next

1064
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:38,359
Speaker 3: sun Fever game.

1065
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 2: Oh what happened? We said? And also, isn't that why

1066
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 2: we want to watch sports? To see a team take

1067
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: on another team and you root for one and players

1068
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 2: take up player. I mean, that's that's why this is

1069
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 2: why this show is.

1070
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 3: This isn't this isn't like finance bros Arguing in the office,

1071
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 3: like we're talking about sports it's competition.

1072
00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 2: Exactly, which finance ros may say that too, but you're

1073
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 2: right right now, we're talking about sports, and it is

1074
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: it is competition. I like it. Well, speaking of.

1075
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 3: No women, let me just say that go women.

1076
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 2: You know what I really wish is that your mic

1077
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: wasn't attached to the stable and that you could just

1078
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: drop it.

1079
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 3: Feel me over here, like I don't know if you

1080
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 3: can hear my chair keeps going, I'm like getting into it.

1081
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 3: She I Usually like when I am on TV, I'm

1082
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 3: standing up, so it's a little uncomfortable for me to

00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 2: Oh you make a really good point. I forgot about that.

1103
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 2: The game, Well, she has her own game. She has

1104
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 2: her own game, so I don't think so.

1105
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, I was like, you know what, I got

1106
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 3: to support the hometown team and Cameron Brink I'm a

1107
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: fan of I love it. She's great on social too.

1108
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,359
Speaker 2: She is great on social. She is really good on

1109
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: social You're right, the social media age of athletes is

1110
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 2: so much fun.

1111
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 3: I'm so happy that I'm I'm alive during this time.

1112
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 3: Imagine if like Babe Ruth had TikTok.

1113
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 2: I that would be spectacular.

1114
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, what do you think?

1115
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 6: You do?

1116
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: You think?

1117
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 3: I feel like he wouldn't be on social media, really

1118
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 3: be one of those guys that's like.

1119
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 4: Ah no.

1120
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 2: But I think now everyone's gonna.

1121
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Bill Belichick's on it, so Bill Bill Belichick's

1122
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: on social media, Babe Ruth would be dancing on TikTok.

1123
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 2: I'm probably offending someone out there.

1124
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:55,320
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

1125
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 2: I would love to see bab Runes dancing on TikTok.

1126
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 2: That would be amazing. AI might be able to have

1127
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 2: ask our friend cheat chiev.

1128
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,320
Speaker 3: You got Chatcha and I are back together?

1129
00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 2: Okay, good, I'm glad you guys are back together. You

1130
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 2: know what I think of your You know your your

1131
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,720
Speaker 2: boss and guys. Remember well he was on the Bucks

1132
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 2: when he would do this. But remember Brady for a while,

1133
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: he and Gronk, every time they would win, they would

1134
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 2: do that little video. And I feel like the people

1135
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 2: probably not like this, but I think he was kind

1136
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 2: of he's he was an early adopter. I'll go with

1137
00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 2: that early ish. Yeah, you know who I think of.

1138
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 3: I think of Le'Veon Bell. Oh yes, remember he would

1139
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 3: be like in the Steelers locker room filming crazy things.

1140
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:40,279
Speaker 2: And he had a he was a career too, I think, right,

1141
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,959
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, don't discount his rack career. I'm not that's

1142
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 2: I'm not. That was on my that was my bad.

1143
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 2: I have all the albums, but I.

1144
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 3: Think of some some of these early early social media

1145
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 3: stars and I'm just you know, it's fun. I mean,

1146
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 3: it makes it's all marketing right, and it makes you

1147
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 3: want to watch the games because of what you see

1148
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 3: on social media.

1149
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 2: I think that's very true. I love that. I love that.

1150
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk a little bit more. WNBA Las

1151
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 2: Vegas Aces seventh straight loss last night. They got their

1152
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 2: star Asia Wilson back, and she said after the game,

1153
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 2: We're going to continue getting our butt beat. I'm this

1154
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: is a family show, so I'm saying butt beat until

1155
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 2: we man up. And I think that was talk about

1156
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 2: we were talking before about the thunder. Don't really have

1157
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 2: anybody to do that, talk about light and of fire.

1158
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, having her back after missing three games was huge.

1159
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,680
Speaker 3: She had a double double, twenty points, fourteen boards, three blocks.

1160
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 3: They still lost yep, Okay, so you know they had

1161
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 3: a one point lead early in the fourth, but they

1162
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 3: struggled offensively in the final minutes. And good teams we

1163
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 3: talk about it. You got to be able to close

1164
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 3: out a game. And to me, if you are, you know,

1165
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 3: if you have that kind of momentum going into the fourth,

1166
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: what's going on?

1167
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 2: Is that a lack of focus? It probably is a

1168
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: lack of focus. And you're right because you know, fancy

1169
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 2: this lot. Oh, we keep losing all these close games

1170
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 2: and teams say it a lot, and the reality is

1171
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: when you keep losing those close games, you're just not

1172
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 2: there yet. You're just not as good a team, because

1173
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 2: good teams don't lose those games, especially when they have

1174
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 2: the momentum going in.

1175
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 3: And is that coaching? Is that focus? Is it veteran leadership?

1176
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I do know her comments postgame

1177
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 3: showed me that they are not happy. And usually when

1178
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 3: you get that fire in you, that's kind of when

1179
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 3: you see the shift happen. So I mean, hopefully they

1180
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 3: can turn it around. The Aces have been one of

1181
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 3: the best teams in the league for years, and they're

1182
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 3: one of the most fun.

1183
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 2: But they've had a lot of changes. Yeah, they have

1184
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 2: had a lot of changes. This is so fun. I've

1185
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 2: loved I've loved this conversation and it makes me want

1186
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: to go do a TikTok about how great women are.

1187
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 3: Go women? Is it Women's Month?

1188
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 8: No?

1189
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 3: No, it should be every month?

1190
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 2: Every month? Is women in the month? I would actually,

1191
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,360
Speaker 2: I would actually say that. Here, I got a question

1192
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 2: for you. This might be putting you on the spot.

1193
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 2: Oh no, I hope you are ready for this. Who

1194
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 2: is your favorite sports TikToker? A favorite TikTok athlete? I

1195
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 2: guess I could put it that way. Oh, oh, you

1196
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:02,480
Speaker 2: know who was?

1197
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,319
Speaker 3: Why am I blanking on his name? The guy from

1198
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:10,640
Speaker 3: Duke basketball he's no longer on the team, painted his nails.

1199
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what's his name? He has the curly hair. Yes,

1200
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 3: Jared McCain, Thank you so much. Jared McCain was one

1201
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 3: of my favorite?

1202
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 2: Was he? Yes?

1203
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 3: And he was so much of my favorite I forgot his.

1204
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 2: Name exactly, that is how much you loved him. My

1205
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 2: favorite is the guy in the Rams whose name I

1206
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 2: have forgotten, but remember in the hotel room. He did

1207
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 2: the Wicked dance on TikTok last year of the night

1208
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: before a game, he did the Are.

1209
00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 3: You talking about Conny Turner Kobe Turner?

1210
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 4: Yes?

1211
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he did the Dancing through Life Wicked dance. Yes,

1212
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:44,479
Speaker 2: he's great.

1213
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, like why are there? It's like

1214
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 3: I'm not good on the spot. I don't know why,

1215
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 3: but like why there has to be other ones that

1216
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 3: were blanking on and people are probably screaming at us,

1217
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 3: like how about so and so. I don't know, I

1218
00:53:57,200 --> 00:53:58,399
Speaker 3: can't I'm blanking right now.

1219
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 2: I think we came up with two pretty good ones. Yeah,

1220
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 2: though I sold me.

1221
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 3: Let me ponder it.

1222
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 2: So Connyhams can't keep my hands too much? So, I

1223
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: mean I could, but why would I want to? But

1224
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 2: you know what you guys want to do? You want

1225
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:13,040

Speaker 3: create content. Okay, that's just what you have to do.

1237
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 3: But I can't even focus right now because I'm like,

1238
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 3: I really felt like I was in the club with that.

1239
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 3: Can we hit that one more time? I hope that.

1240
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 3: Like you're spinning this right, Oh my god, yep, this

1241
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:54,520
Speaker 3: is pretty good man.

1242
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: You should be in the club like you gotta be

1243
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 2: feeling good.

1244
00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:00,959
Speaker 3: It's two twenty and a's Saturday afternoon in La and man,

1245
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 3: you could tell me anything right now with this music.

1246
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: We have to get ready and just pumped up.

1247
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 3: We've got forty eight hours to go here.

1248
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 2: I am fired uh man, fired up. That's good. I

1249
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,919
Speaker 2: think we should all be in They need as a trio.

1250
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,880
Speaker 3: They need you in prime when the Pacers win. You

1251
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying.

1252
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 2: You get yourself Indianapolis. You can get yourself on a plane.

1253
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 2: It's not so easy to get there, so you should

1254
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 2: get on a plane. Like now. It's probably not ad

1255
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 2: idea because if you're going to be there, it's not

1256
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 2: easy to get to Indianapolis for make it work. You

1257
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 2: got it, well, you will make it work, all right,

1258
00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 2: let's house this first segue. The Red Sox are in

1259
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: an era of trying to make it work without Raphael Devers,

1260
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 2: and the Giant looking good tonight are trying to make

1261
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 2: it work with him. So Rafael Devers gets traded. We

1262
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: talked about this earlier. Red Sox fans up in arms,

1263
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 2: not happy. But now he's a Giant and the Giants

1264
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 2: are playing the Red Sox this weekend. Last night he

1265
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 2: goes over five, but today the Giants, the Red Sox

1266
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 2: are speaking, are playing right now as we speak. And

1267
00:55:57,800 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 2: he had a two run home run.

1268
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,359
Speaker 3: That's got to be that's kinda feel so good.

1269
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: I think it feels real good.

1270
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 3: This is crazy though, being from Boston. I keep saying this.

1271
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 3: People are like, shut up, we know you're from Boston.

1272
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,359
Speaker 3: I obviously follow like all the news stations up there, right.

1273
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 3: And I saw a video of some photographers waiting for

1274
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 3: him to arrive at Fenway. Okay, let's just talk about

1275
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 3: this for a second. He was on the team plane

1276
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 3: playing cards Sunday morning. They were about to go to

1277
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 3: Seattle when he was told he was traded, gets off

1278
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 3: the plane, takes a cab. Tracy, he took a cab

1279
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 3: back to Fenway to I assume get his car.

1280
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 2: Baseball Stars, they're just like us, Well said, we would

1281
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 2: take an uber hold on, hold on, I just have

1282
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 2: so many questions.

1283
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 3: Why. Okay, First of all, are there cabs right by

1284
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,480
Speaker 3: the team plane, like you're telling me there's on a

1285
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 3: black suv?

1286
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 2: Well, if they were at the airport, maybe he there

1287
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 2: was probably the taxi line. The idea of it getting.

1288
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 3: Their plane is not in like the normal area.

1289
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what to tell you about this.

1290
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 3: Like what what a cab? He walked off the plane

1291
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 3: like he didn't walk off the plane and then go

1292
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 3: through logan.

1293
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 2: He feels like kind of an eighties movie where they'd

1294
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 2: be like they like fire you and they're like, but listen,

1295
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 2: I'll call you a cab or someone breaks up with

1296
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 2: you and says that.

1297
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 3: You can't even get him an uber black apparently not

1298
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 3: a lift black. Come on, there are many options out there,

1299
00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 3: a weay mo, I don't think they have those in Boston.

1300
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. The cab is actually a part of

1301
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 2: the story. I hadn't really focused on it and how

1302
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 2: do you bring it up?

1303
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 3: It's really bizarre focused on it. But this is actually

1304
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,439
Speaker 3: kind of funny. What would you if you were him?

1305
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 3: What would you want to be picked up in? I

1306
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 3: think I would want a way mo, like I can't

1307
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 3: talk to anyone right now.

1308
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 2: That's except I'm yeah.

1309
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 3: I think cab driver here, because he had to have

1310
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 3: been on the phone with someone. He had been bothered.

1311
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: He had to have been bothered. Of course he was bothered.

1312
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,440
Speaker 3: That is like, this man has been with the organization

1313
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 3: for more than a decade. He was what sixteen when

1314
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 3: he got into the Red Sox organization.

1315
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,959
Speaker 2: I think bothered is probably the the.

1316
00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 3: Nicet like, you're okay, so I signed with you when

1317
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 3: I'm sixteen, over a decade ago. You take me away

1318
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:56,760
Speaker 3: from my card game, which like rude. At least let

1319
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 3: them sell shit. I hope they weren't betting, Like, I mean,

1320
00:57:59,080 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 3: come on, where's this?

1321
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? Uh?

1322
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 3: You take me off the plane and you put me

1323
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 3: in a cab, A cab the cab.

1324
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 2: The cab is now that you bring it up, the

1325
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 2: cab is so.

1326
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 3: Like, what did he pay for? Did he have money

1327
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 3: in his pockets to pay?

1328
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 2: I mean, who has cash, Like, do you take CoA?

1329
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:16,240
Speaker 2: Do you think they paid for it? The cabs take

1330
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: venmo these days.

1331
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 3: What's the last time you've been in a cab tracy?

1332
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:20,800
Speaker 2: It has been a while, but I'm wondering who paid

1333
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 2: for the cabs, the Red Sox, the Giants, Raphael himself.

1334
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 2: He had to have paid for it. That's just not cool.

1335
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 3: But like I hope he had.

1336
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 2: But at least I will say this, it's not like

1337
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: he got cut. He did get traded.

1338
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 3: Just wild to think about, like we forget so often,

1339
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 3: how cruel and how much of a business sports are.

1340
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 3: I mean, what the first thing that comes to mind

1341
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,080
Speaker 3: is Cooper cup Yes, gets traded in the division to

1342
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 3: the Seahawks after everything he did for the Rams.

1343
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:53,959
Speaker 2: Luca Luca, your boy. My guys gonna bring up Lucas,

1344
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 2: gonna find a way.

1345
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 3: How did I not get to that first? It is

1346
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 3: a cutthroat business.

1347
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 2: It is, and this is why I will never ever

1348
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,680
Speaker 2: ever blame an athlete for taking care of his or herself,

1349
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,600
Speaker 2: holding out for what they think they deserve, because the

1350
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 2: team will always take care of itself and they should

1351
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 2: do that. It is a business, and that's it's not

1352
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 2: show friends, show get at sho it's show business.

1353
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 3: You're showy.

1354
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I was kind of alluding to that

1355
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 2: because like Saho, but it's really.

1356
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 3: I mean, how do you think Angels fans feel about him?

1357
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 2: Well, I think Angels fans knew he wasn't saying on

1358
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 2: the Angels Forever. I don't think that that was a

1359
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 2: thing that was going to happen. I think they were

1360
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 2: really happy to have him. I'm sure they'd still love

1361
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: to have him, but he wasn't saying on the Angels

1362
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,600
Speaker 2: forever because he wants to win and he did and

1363
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 2: now he's going to keep doing that.

1364
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 3: So but regardless, I'll be thinking about that cap like

1365
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:44,080
Speaker 3: that is my romance.

1366
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about the car conversation. What was the car?

1367
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:47,600
Speaker 2: What kind of card?

1368
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:48,800
Speaker 3: How do have been like spades?

1369
00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,360
Speaker 2: Right? I mean I don't know.

1370
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 3: It's not like Goldfish?

1371
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 2: What if it was Go Fish? Red Sox on the

1372
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 2: plane like go Fish is spectacular.

1373
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 6: We need it.

1374
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 3: This is why you got to be creating content all

1375
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 3: the time, because imagine the Red Sox were creating content

1376
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 3: on that plane. And we saw behind the scenes of

1377
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 3: what happened when he had to abruptly end his card game.

1378
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: Imagine the cab driver was creating content. Ooh, maybe he like, Hey, guys,

1379
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: I'm here with Repel Devers, who just got traded. I'm

1380
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 2: taking it back to the stadium to get his stuff.

1381
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 3: Get ready with me, Well, I take Rafael back home.

1382
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,439
Speaker 2: I get ready with me. It's amazing, Rafaelsha done it you. Hey, guys,

1383
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 2: get ready with me while I packed my stuff and

1384
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: head to Cali.

1385
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 3: Get ready with me while I get traded mid flight? Yeah,

1386
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 3: get ready with me while I go take a cab

1387
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 3: to find my car and then awkwardly do a walk

1388
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,280
Speaker 3: of shame back to San Francisco.

1389
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 2: However, now he's on the Giants NL West. He hit

1390
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 2: a homer.

1391
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 3: Thank goodness he did, because he wasn't looking good.

1392
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 2: Well, because this is the thing too, he's human. This

1393
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 2: had affected him too, and leading up to the trade,

1394
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 2: it's not like things were so like, oh, runky dory

1395
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 2: and amazing like. Leading up to the trade, they were

1396
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 2: changing his position, willy nilly, not giving him the respect

1397
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 2: he feels he deserved. He said, I put up some

1398
01:01:04,040 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 2: good numbers in Boston. I feel like I earned some respect.

1399
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 2: If they would have asked me at the beginning of

1400
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: spring train to play first base. That is what he

1401
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 2: was talking about, because that was very controversial. Even though

1402
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 2: I think he's now willing to play it for the Giants,

1403
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: he would have played, so I don't know. The cab.

1404
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 2: I find the cab the worst part of this whole thing.

1405
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 2: A big yellow taxi took Malie.

1406
01:01:23,320 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 8: I like that.

1407
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 2: We're singing a lot. We're gonna do with the recording

1408
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:28,120
Speaker 2: contract after the show, And a big yellow taxi took

1409
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Devers away. Coming soon to a Boston radio station near you.

1410
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 3: No maybe, or come on to La give me big

1411
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:39,480
Speaker 3: time Tracy.

1412
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 2: But he's not any but okay, I'll give you La, Okay,

1413
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: La is yours to a piano bar near you.

1414
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 3: I love that Devers came and went, I don't know.

1415
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 3: I was God. I'll do better next time.

1416
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 2: You write the song. And the great Martin Wise is

1417
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 2: gonna tell us what's happening in that game.

1418
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 3: Sing it to us, Martin.

1419
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 5: We'll get to that game and just a moment. That's

1420
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 5: best I can do for you.

1421
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 7: I do better with like the quiet Storm radio was

1422
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 7: to the bottom of the eleventh Cardinals five piece that

1423
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 7: both teams have eight hits on top of the ninth inning,

1424
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 7: the Mariners in the cub Chicago with a ten to

1425
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 7: seventh lead.

1426
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 2: I'd be better doing that than actually singing I Love It.

1427
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 7: Rangers and the Pirates with a one nothing, one up

1428
01:02:23,160 --> 01:02:25,760
Speaker 7: tie top of the sixth inning that game, guys were

1429
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 7: just talking about Rafael Devers with the home run there.

1430
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:31,040
Speaker 7: The Giants with the only runs, scored three to nothing

1431
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 7: over the Red Sox in the middle of the sixth inning.

1432
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 7: Top of the fifth inning, the Braves lead the Marlins

1433
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 7: two to nothing. About two hours of fifteen minutes way

1434
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 7: from the Mets in the Phillies getting started that one

1435
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:45,280
Speaker 7: on Big Fox. Earlier today, we saw the Brewers pound

1436
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 7: the Twins. Twins lost nine to nothing at home to Milwaukee.

1437
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 7: The Yankees also another pounding nine and four solo home runs,

1438
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 7: and the starting pitcher, Clark Snid had no hitter into

1439
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:58,400
Speaker 7: the seventh inning. As in New York into the eighth inning,

1440
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,680
Speaker 7: as New York beat Baltimore nine nothing. The Blue Jays

1441
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,640
Speaker 7: beat the White Sox at seven to one. The Right

1442
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 7: Socks are pausing cutter Crawford's rehab.

1443
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 5: The picture has a wrist injury.

1444
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 7: He hasn't pitched so far this year, and the Braves

1445
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 7: placed nl CY Young winner Chris Sale on the fifteen

1446
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 7: day injured list.

1447
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 5: He's got a fractured left ribcage and oh.

1448
01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams today a fanatics fest was asked what he

1449
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:28,320
Speaker 7: liked about the worst fan base. I believe he goes

1450
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 7: Green Bay. They suck, Oh Glad. I thought you guys

1451
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 7: would be interested to find that one.

1452
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 2: H for sure, and I think he just really endeared

1453
01:03:36,240 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 2: himself to the heart of every Chicago versus man. I

1454
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 2: love it back to you guys, Thank you so much, Martin.

1455

Speaker 2: is time for our next guest, Founder and CEO of

1463
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 2: The Sporting Tribune, A Rashmark Cosey, friend of the show, Rash, Welcome.

1464
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 4: Back, Thanks for having me. Good to be on.

1465
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely the first thing we want to talk about. Bridget

1466
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 2: and I talked tou this offline. The Lakers have been

1467
01:04:16,920 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 2: sold to Mark Walter, who now owns Lakers and the Dodgers.

1468
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 2: Kind of what is the feedback you're getting as a

1469
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 2: Laker fan. I'm excited, so grateful to GDI Bus the

1470
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 2: entire Bus family for everything they've done, but kind of

1471
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 2: excited for this next chapter.

1472
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean fantasy. I think any Dodgers fan obviously

1473
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 4: is familiated with with what Mark Walter and that group,

1474
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 4: the Guggenheimen Group has meant to the franchise in terms

1475
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 4: of sparing no expense when it comes to, you know,

1476
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 4: making the team a consistent contender. So I think that's

1477
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,160
Speaker 4: that's the biggest thing that the fans are going to

1478
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 4: get here. It is a seamless transition, though. You know,

1479
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 4: when Mark Walter and this group purchaseding twenty seven percent

1480
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 4: stake in the team, it came with the provision that

1481
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 4: they had the first right of refusal. So at that point,

1482
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,840
Speaker 4: I think people knew that the Bus family would would

1483
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 4: would probably sell at some point, and that when this happened,

1484
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 4: it really it would be a seamless transition. So again,

1485
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,440
Speaker 4: not too much will change in the short room. Guenie

1486
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 4: bus will still be in charge. They will be they

1487
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 4: will still be playing at Crypto dot Com Arena for

1488
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:25,400
Speaker 4: the foreseeable future. But the long term stability of the franchise,

1489
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 4: it is in great shape right now.

1490
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 3: My question is, so we know that the new owners

1491
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 3: they like to spend money. We saw what they did

1492
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 3: with the Dodgers show. Hey, O, Tani what And I'm

1493
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 3: kind of putting you on spot here, like what would

1494
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 3: you want them who would you want them to go target? Yeah?

1495
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the unfortunate thing for Mark Walter

1496
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 4: in this group, there is a salary cap in the NBING,

1497
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 4: so it's not like they can go get whoever they want.

1498
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 4: You know. The biggest thing that I would say to

1499
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 4: kind of keep your like eye on is on, you know,

1500
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 4: on the front office, on the executives. And I don't

1501
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 4: want to target Rob the Lincolns, but actually think he's

1502
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,360
Speaker 4: done a good job. But I think the franchise has

1503
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:09,440
Speaker 4: generally historically not paid top dollar for scouting and uh,

1504
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 4: you know, like assistant coaches and things like that. I

1505
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 4: would certainly look for them to be in the running

1506
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:17,560
Speaker 4: if there's like a hot GM out there or like

1507
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 4: an executive or like an assistant GM and things like that,

1508
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 4: things that this franchise generally is not spent on. They

1509
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 4: will do that now. So listen, if if they have

1510
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 4: a championship team, they will keep that championship team together

1511
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,480
Speaker 4: regardless of the cap. With the unfortunate thing in basketball

1512
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 4: compared to baseball, there is a cap.

1513
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 2: Here that that does make it a little bit more difficult.

1514
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 2: But you look like you have something you want to say.

1515
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 3: No, totally difficult, but like sometimes they don't follow.

1516
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:49,360
Speaker 2: It's the cap can be, you know, manipulated.

1517
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 3: Shall we say we see it all the time in

1518
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:51,800
Speaker 3: the NFL.

1519
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 2: Yes, we do. We see it all the time. Well,

1520
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 2: obviously you mentioned the Dodgers because they also own the Dodgers. Uh.

1521
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 2: Big week this week, we had quite a week of rivory.

1522
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 2: Bridge and I had been talking about it. Were you

1523
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 2: at any of the games, Arash And I mean, this

1524
01:07:07,080 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 2: rivalry to me, it's been building for a while and

1525
01:07:09,760 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 2: now I feel like we are at full throttle. These

1526
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 2: teams hate each other, the Dodgers and the Padres.

1527
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1528
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 4: So I was at the first couple of games. I mean,

1529
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 4: certainly they're whin a show. K Otani pitched and again

1530
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 4: I told everyone, I said, get there early. He's only

1531
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,919
Speaker 4: going to go pick one, maybe two to depending how

1532
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 4: far he goes in. It was the season this was

1533
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 4: planted back in twenty twenty in the bubble. Unfortunately they

1534
01:07:34,160 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 4: didn't get to play on their home turf. But you

1535
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:41,320
Speaker 4: know when you obviously share the same division. But the

1536
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 4: biggest thing, Tracy, is that when you go head to

1537
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 4: head in the postseason and it's not one sided. Right,

1538
01:07:46,920 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 4: the Padres defeated the Dodgers when they had a historic season,

1539
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 4: and then you go to a year ago it was

1540
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 4: the only team that I thought the Dodgers may not

1541
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 4: beat it. It was in the division series and you

1542
01:07:57,760 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 4: go to that game four where it's a bullpen game

1543
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 4: to find a way to come back, and when that

1544
01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 4: when game became five. These teams hate each other, and

1545
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 4: so again I think it's great for baseball, great for.

1546
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 9: These two teams.

1547
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 4: You just don't want to see anyone get hurt, right,

1548
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 4: I mean they got a little like ugly at the

1549
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 4: end there, But there is real hatred between these two teams.

1550
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 3: We talk about rivalries and you think of Red Sox

1551
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 3: Yankees right for for decades, centuries honestly, but now with

1552
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 3: the Lakers and the Padres. Why do you believe right

1553
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 3: now in baseball that this is the best rivalry?

1554
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 2: And how Dodgers and what did I say? Lakers? Oh

1555
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 2: my god, so I would actually like Lakers. I'm so

1556
01:08:39,680 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 2: into that and I.

1557
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 3: Didn't even notice I said it, so thank you. But

1558
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 3: but why why would you say this is the best one?

1559
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 3: And does it even compare to Red Sox Yankees? How's

1560
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 3: it different for people? Maybe don't see?

1561
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean so when when you have something that's

1562
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:56,800
Speaker 4: sustainable again, history matters, right, Like the Red Sox of

1563
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 4: the Yankees goes back to like Babe Ruth and the

1564
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:01,679
Speaker 4: Giants of the Dodgers goes back to their times in

1565
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:05,479
Speaker 4: New York. This doesn't have those like low that long

1566
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 4: of the history. All they have shared the same division

1567
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 4: for years. But this roster, it's not like you have

1568
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:13,799
Speaker 4: to tell the stories of the fifties and the sixties

1569
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 4: and the seventies and the eighties. These two franchises that

1570
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 4: have been together. Certainly, the guys who have been together

1571
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,479
Speaker 4: since twenty twenty, they've been in these postseasons, they've been

1572
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 4: in these games, and they really don't like each other.

1573
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,559
Speaker 4: The managers don't like each other, The players don't like

1574
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 4: each other, and so when you actually are in the

1575
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 4: thick of it, you can feel it. And so like

1576
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 4: like this kind of boiled over a little bit sooner

1577
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 4: in the seasons than I thought, because I was you

1578
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,280
Speaker 4: kind of work your way up, and then you get

1579
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 4: into July and then to like August, and you know

1580
01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 4: they're going to probably play each other sometimes this postseason.

1581
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 4: But it's that history, it's that shared history of these

1582
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 4: two franchises.

1583
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 9: And it's also like Los Angeles is the same Diego.

1584
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,800
Speaker 9: You know, for years, like the Los Angeles didn't really

1585
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 9: think about San Diego. San Diego does not like Los Angeles.

1586
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,600
Speaker 9: And now for the first time I can sure what

1587
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,520
Speaker 9: you say, because we generally if you're from Los Angeles,

1588
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 9: you don't mind going to San Diego, you don't mind

1589
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 9: thinking that first flighter. There is no some hatred Los

1590
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 9: Angeles versus San Diego here.

1591
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 2: Would you say it's now a bigger riv at least

1592
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 2: in the present day today, a bigger rivalry than the Giants.

1593
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 2: Not historically and not forever, but at this moment in time.

1594
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,640
Speaker 4: In the present day. Yes, And again it's not the

1595
01:10:32,680 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 4: fan bases if Tracy has you know, if you go

1596
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,719
Speaker 4: to a Dodgers fan, they're gonna be like no, like

1597
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 4: like like it's the giants. But the more important thing

1598
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:42,679
Speaker 4: is you talk to the players and the managers. Again,

1599
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 4: there's not a nicer manager. There's not a nicer coach

1600
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 4: than Dave Roberts. Dave Roberts hats Mike Swift and the

1601
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 4: San Diego papers. I mean, for Dave Roberts to get tosked.

1602
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 4: I mean again, we were all in the press box

1603
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 4: going wait, did that really just happen? So when you

1604
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,160
Speaker 4: talk to the players, when you talk to the people involved,

1605
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,840
Speaker 4: there is a bigger hatred there. I don't know if

1606
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,760
Speaker 4: if that's yet the case with the fan base. I

1607
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 4: know the Padres hate the Dodgers, but we're finally getting there, right, Like,

1608
01:11:11,840 --> 01:11:15,080
Speaker 4: we're finally getting there where this is on par I

1609
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 4: think at this point with Dodgers in the San Francisco.

1610
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:23,879
Speaker 3: Guns, so the Padres decide to retaliate and hit show. Hey, Otani,

1611
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 3: were you surprised that they chose to hit show?

1612
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:27,679
Speaker 1: Hey?

1613
01:11:27,760 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 3: When you know you're now public enemy number one in

1614
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 3: two different countries, That's okay.

1615
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 4: No, I knew they I might I think show hey

1616
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 4: knew and that's why he reacted the way he did.

1617
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 4: You're just thankful that no one got hurt. And I

1618
01:11:40,160 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 4: think many munch shot up had a great line when

1619
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 4: they hit for Neda fatis you better let your candle

1620
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 4: and hope that he's not hurt, and thankfully he wasn't,

1621
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 4: you know, badly hurt. Like you know, these things are

1622
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 4: going to happen. You just don't want like someone to

1623
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 4: get hurt where they fracture their you know, their like

1624
01:11:56,840 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 4: rest or their hand and they're like out for an

1625
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:03,480
Speaker 4: extended period some time. So not surprised by that, surprised

1626
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 4: by the reaction, I guess like he was smiling and laughing.

1627
01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 4: So again, I'm glad that that's okay, but I am

1628
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 4: not surprised that you got him.

1629
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 2: Can we talk about that comment from Machado for a

1630
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 2: second when he's and granted you're talking to someone who

1631
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 2: really is not a fan of Manny Machado, and I

1632
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,840
Speaker 2: actually think I'm a Dodger fan at the moment, hates

1633
01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 2: the Padres way more than the giants, But that comment,

1634
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 2: when they better pray and they better light their candle,

1635
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 2: it's kind of a silly comment. What was he going

1636
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 2: to do?

1637
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 4: Well, I meet you in the party question, Yeah, like,

1638
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,599
Speaker 4: what are you gonna do at this point? Like what

1639
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 4: is the reality retaliation? Again? Being boiled over? You know,

1640
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 4: it really was ugly there where you're just like like,

1641
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 4: let's get back to baseball, Like you hit one player,

1642
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 4: the other team hits one player, and then we move on.

1643
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,080
Speaker 4: Like it got to a point where like, as a

1644
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 4: Dodgers fan, and certainly if you're a project is say,

1645
01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 4: you don't want to lose pretense. Fernando's the teams for

1646
01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 4: Manny Machado show you a ton of like you don't

1647
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 4: want them to get hurt. Now you want to hit

1648
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,640
Speaker 4: them and they have their moment. Good. So yeah, Machado

1649
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,880
Speaker 4: as he has prone to his dude tracy as you know,

1650
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,040
Speaker 4: he was talking out of his you know what. So

1651
01:13:10,840 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 4: he wasn't gonna do anything. But I'm just glad that that,

1652
01:13:14,439 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 4: like everyone is okay.

1653
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:20,880
Speaker 2: I am glad that everyone is okay to really quick show. Hey, Johnny,

1654
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:24,000
Speaker 2: start number two tomorrow. How much longer do you go

1655
01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 2: pitch more than an inning? What do you expect to

1656
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 2: see there?

1657
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so Dave said he has at a pitch count

1658
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 4: of about thirty. He kind of hit that in the

1659
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,200
Speaker 4: first inning his first outing. I don't think he'll go

1660
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:41,559
Speaker 4: much beyond that on Sunday, but I think he is, like,

1661
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,840
Speaker 4: it's going to just continue and then we're gonna see

1662
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,720
Speaker 4: that number rise where he goes to two inning and

1663
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 4: then goes to three again. He returned a lot quicker

1664
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,600
Speaker 4: than we all thought. I think we were all targeting

1665
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 4: sometime in late July. But he's back now, and I

1666
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 4: think you probably agree with me. It's really like, it's

1667
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 4: great that you pitched now, but the real goal is

1668
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 4: for him to be healthy come October.

1669
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 2: One hundred percent of RASH thank you so much for

1670

01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 3: their second Street Stanley Cup, captain Alexander Barkoff use the

1699
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:28,639
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup as a coffee mug at five am, knocking

1700
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 3: on his neighbor's doors. Actually he like rang their their

1701
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 3: ring to share a joyous cup of coffee.

1702
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 2: I love that.

1703
01:15:35,920 --> 01:15:39,639
Speaker 3: Literally, how amazing is this? The ring video is funny.

1704
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've seen it. It's on Twitter.

1705
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 3: Go check it out. He walks up to his neighbors

1706
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 3: door rings the ring and obviously like, also, I'm so

1707
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 3: happy that we live in an era for ring cameras

1708
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 3: capturing video like this. He has the Stanley Cup. Imagine

1709
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:57,759
Speaker 3: being his neighbor, you gotta wake up if your doorbell

1710
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 3: is ringing at five am. You're probably like, oh God,

1711
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 3: just let them leave the package on the door. I'm

1712
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,400
Speaker 3: gonna stay asleep. Imagine you just thought that and you

1713
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 3: look at the app and it's Alexander Barkoff with that

1714
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 3: Stanley Cup.

1715
01:16:09,600 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 2: That would be amazing. I would invite him in for coffee.

1716
01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 3: I'm mad I don't live in his neighborhood.

1717
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 2: That's fair because that would be incredible because you imagine, like,

1718
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,960
Speaker 2: who would be someone that would knock on your door? Athlete?

1719
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 2: Who would be your favorite athlete to knock at your

1720
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 2: at five am? Where you'd be like, oh my gosh,

01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 2: this is so cool. We're having coffee together.

1722
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 3: I want to say, Tom Brady, come on.

01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 2: That's fair. I'll give you Tom Brady, who show hey

1724
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 2: for you somewhere between Shohe and Luca. Okay, I think

1725
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 2: it would be somewhere if they came together.

1726
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 3: You know, I might say, Kawhi Leonard. You know, I

1727
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,400
Speaker 3: don't know that we've dived into this. How big of

1728
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:42,280

Speaker 2: I am. We definitely have not had no idea.

1730
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,760

1732
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:50,799
Speaker 3: Kawhi Leonard?

1733
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:51,560
Speaker 1: Are you?

1734
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 3: I am obsessed? Someone asked me the other day who

1735
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,599
Speaker 3: would be your like die hard athlete to meet? Because

1736
01:16:56,600 --> 01:16:58,920
Speaker 3: I have met Tom Brady now, I met him this year,

1737
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,320

1740
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:09,479
Speaker 3: how to not be starstruck and things like that. I

1741
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 3: think i'd be starstruck if I interviewed Kawi Leonard like

1742
