29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: few minutes, but a big one though. We got a

30
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: couple of big and the fact that you're not even

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 1: watching the end of the next game is all I

32
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: need to know that the next game is over. The

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: nixt the Knicks is over. Oh what happened? My internet's

34
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: They canceled the game in the in the middle of

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller hit a three. They canceled. Yeah, Reggie Miller

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: hit a three and Rick Smith's had a dunk at

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: the end and they won. Listen, it doesn't matter, okay

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: that the regular season, it doesn't matter. It doesn't know.

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: It only matters when the next win. And they won

40
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: the night and they beat the Celtics bykes thirteen win

41
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: team yeah, okay, all right, fine, Hey, you know what

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: if the Pacers played every team like they played the Knicks.

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they may be better than thirteen and forty. The

44
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Pacers have no identity if not for the Knicks, the

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: Nick the Pacers are like that what is it in

46
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: in Twilight? Where you know when when you bond together?

47
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: Like what is it with the uh? Uh? The werewolves

48
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: imprint on on their mates and stuff? And if one,

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: are you watching Twilight again? You're obsessing with Twilight? The

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: last I remember, no, I remember Twilight? It was are

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: you looking into your own light? Cannot dude? Do you kid? Now?

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: You like that? To look that up? There's a reason.

53
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,399
Speaker 1: What if I were to tell you the game's not over?

54
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: But what if I? What if I were? Nicks are

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: out the line right now? It's what what are you talking?

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Is not over?

57
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: The game?

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: Is it over? The uh? It's one twenty You are okay?

59
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: I had to come in here and start the show,

60
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 1: and it's more impart the show. The Knicks were dcs

61
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: got a one point lead one twenty four left in

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 1: the first half. I think the start, the start of

63
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: the show is more import I came in here. Then

64
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: the Knicks were down down too. With one second left,

65
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: I had we had to come in and start the show.

66
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: What do you want me to do? And you know,

67
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: don't have it on TV. Instead, I got Iowa State

68
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: and TCU. I got curling from earlier time. We know

69
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: who we can blame for that. I have I have

70
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: tyshirt looking around for another premiere of that Game of

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Throne show so we can see a full frontal that

72
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: starts the beginning of it. I mean, come on, man,

73
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 1: Yo won't put the knicks on for me at all ever?

74
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Come on, man, huge boner. Eh. But the thing is

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: no to get back there. We'll get to the knicks,

76
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Uh, it looks like they're headed

77
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: to overtime looks like they're headed to overtime one with

78
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: one second left to go. They were down to when

79
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: I walked in with okay, so we got to start

80
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: the show. Uh. The thing with the knicks and the pace,

81
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: it's like in Twilight, if I remember right, it was

82
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the were wolves imprint on their mates, right because Jacob

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: imprints on Bella's kid and then I had no choice.

84
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: So boy, that doesn't really age well, I had no

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: choice but to imprint on it. Okay, Yeah, but anyway,

86
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: it's like what happens is once one of them is

87
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: injured or dying, like the other one is injured or dying.

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: So whatever happens to the other to the mate like,

89
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: it's the same fate happens at the other one. That's

90
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 1: like the Knicks and the Pacers. Oh, the Pacers are

91
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: only alive when they play the Knicks. And again, I

92
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: don't care the Tyres Halliburns. If they played every game

93
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,680
Speaker 1: like they played the Knicks, they be better than thirteen

94
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: and forty headed to the lottery. Come on, man, Yeah,

95
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I mean it'd be really fun if Halliburton was out

96
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: there because then he and Bronson could recreate all the

97
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: stuff they did at the WWE events. But all of

98
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: that to say, it's the if you're looking for relevance

99
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,279
Speaker 1: for a team that hasn't been to the final since

100
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine, you all suck. Yeah. Well, hey, y

101
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: late listen a lot of it and as you said,

102
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: the quiet part out loud for the nbah, the regular

103
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: season doesn't matter. It's a regular season. Who cares. We'll

104
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: have more on that we break down the Lakers and

105
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: the Spurs. Yeah, but the big news that came in

106
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half ago. The ratings for

107
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl sixty are in, and you can already tell

108
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,559
Speaker 1: when what news sites want to report bad things about

109
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: the NFL and what new sites want to report accurate

110
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: things about the NFL. Because the headline is either second

111
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: most watched super Bowl ever, this is from you want

112
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: to be accurate about what it is, or it's rating

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: slide for NFL super Bowl. Oh, because it wasn't as

114
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: much as last year, which set the all time record. Well,

115
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: that would be a slide it slide back. It's a

116
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: fall back. It's not really you didn't need improve did

117
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,239
Speaker 1: you increase viewership or did you not? Okay, because either

118
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: it's an augmentation or it's a slide slide when you

119
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: got one hundred and twenty seven million watch last year

120
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: the most watched super Bowl ever, this became the second

121
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: most watched Super Bowl ever with a one hundred and twenty

122
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: just about one hundred and twenty five million people. We'll

123
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: get to the halftime show in a minute. So yeah,

124
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: in a game where your biggest star was Sam d

125
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: think about that. Your biggest star in this game was

126
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, not Patrick Mahomes, not Saquon Barkley, not any

127
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: not Josh Allen, not anybody, No, not justin Fields. No,

128
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: your biggest star is you what I did there? Your

129
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: biggest star was Sam Darnold. What about all the little

130
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: kids that bought their JSN jerseys because he led him

131
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: to Fantasy titles. Yeah, I gotta watch the Super Bowl

132
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: for JASN. I gotta thank him. Oh then he did

133
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: nothing for me in the Super Bowl. He got hurt

134
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: so that he was in the Yeah, but he was

135
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: also shut down. They didn't let him do it. He

136
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: was also shut down. But that remember, So with Super

137
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 1: Bowl like that, for to have be the second most

138
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: watched super Bowl ever, I think the NFL is gonna

139
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: take that. When you had zero star power coming into

140
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: this game, you had zero buzz going into the game

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: all week. Did we talk more about the trade deadline

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 1: in the NBA and the Hall of Fame or we

143
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: talked more about the Super Bowl and how effective he

144
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: was in the four man rush. Yeah, you shunned me right, Yes,

145
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: you said honest, Yes, honest, because you kept trying to

146
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 1: speak that Nix thing into existence, not knowing he was

147
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: manipulating a betting markt the entire time. Yeah, that was

148
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: someone have to look back at that a little bit differently.

149
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: That's that's suddenly now just to just look back a

150
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: week later, but to think about that. For the NFL, right,

151
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: for to have the second most watched Super Bowl despite

152
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the fact they had zero star power in it, that's

153
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: pretty good. Bedrich ran, So hate watching was real, and

154
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: then yeah, but I mean it wasn't Brady, it wasn't Belichick.

155
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: It's vable and Drake may trying. No. I mean that's

156
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: why I mean, for I have a super Bowl with that,

157
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: I think is pretty good. I think the NFL would say, oh,

158
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: we'll take the second most watch super Bowl of all time.

159
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: And when it comes to the halftime show, Bad Bunny's

160
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: halftime show average one hundred and twenty eight million viewers.

161
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: It is the fourth most watched halftime of all time.

162
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: So it turns out the NFL knew what they were

163
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: doing putting Bad Bunny on. And when it turns out

164
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: to impressions on social media, h sixty one million downloads

165
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: of Bad Bunnies halftime show, twenty one million downloads of

166
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Kid Rocks halftime show. But according to social media, Bad

167
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: Bunny had over four billion views of his halftime show

168
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: on social media after the first twenty four hours. Now,

169
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: this is worldwide. This is not four billion views worldwide.

170
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: This is where I take my hat off to Roger

171
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 1: Goodell and I give credit where credit is due, because

172
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: the whole time in Frostburg, we talked about this a lot.

173
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: At some point, I thought, with the controversy going on

174
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: with Bad Bunny and his halftime show, the NFL is

175
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: going to back off. Right with everything going on, as

176
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: divisive as it is, the NFL doesn't want something like

177
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: this to be the big story, and Bad Bunny's halftime

178
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: show threatened to take over the Super Bowl. You watched

179
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: the first half, it felt like the halftime show was

180
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: really sort of overshadowing the game, like we got to

181
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: get to halftime before we can really start the game.

182
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: But the NFL showing that, you know what, no matter what,

183
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna stick with a decision that we knew was

184
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: going to be somewhat polarizing, because what did all of

185
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: that Bad Bunny controversy do? It made you what? Watch

186
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 1: the halftime show? All right, all bad Bunny, I think

187
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: he's not gonna sing in English. It's all of this,

188
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: It's all why is he doing it? Okay, wait a minute,

189
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: This is a big topic of conversation. This is social currency.

190
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: I want to have with my friends. I'm gonna talk

191
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: about the halftime show. What's going on? Why is it

192
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a separate halftime show. Who's gonna be

193
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: on it? What's happening? But the NFL said, no, we're

194
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: sticking with Bad Bunny. That didn't drive anybody away. If anything,

195
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: if there's controversy over something, you're gonna want to see it. Right.

196
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, I'm not gonna watch well, why

197
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: why I gotta watch this Bad Bunny show at halftime

198
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: just to see it. Whether I like it, whether I

199
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: love it, whether I hate it, You're still gonna watch it.

200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: And the NFL decided we stick with this. We know

201
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: what we're doing. We're growing the game worldwide because that's

202
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: what this was all about. And all they're gonna look

203
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: at is go man. Four billion halftime, four billion views

204
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: across the globe. What did we just do the week

205
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: before we announced all sorts of games in foreign countries.

206
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: We're going to Rio, We're going to Australia. This is

207
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: how we're growing the game and the NFL said, we're

208
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: sticking with this ma message even though it might not

209
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: be popular with a big portion of our fan base.

210
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: And all it did was make people want to see it.

211
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a it's a brilliant marketing strategy. And look,

212
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: and I can see the other flip point of the

213
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 1: two for turning point USA. It made people want to

214
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: go watch that. You know, the had five million people

215
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: watching it said twenty one million people watch on you know.

216
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: It made people want to see that too. So all

217
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: this did was made was instead of driving people away,

218
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 1: it drove people toward the product, which is ingenius. When

219
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: when you think about it, it's like, okay, we'll take

220
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: this controversy. We understand. But in the end, people are

221
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna want to watch because they're not gonna want to

222
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: miss out. They're gonna want to talk about it with

223
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: their friends. I want to talk about with everybody else

224
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: don't want to be you know, the FOMO is real

225
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: in situations like this. So yeah, and the NFL says, Okay,

226
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: we knew what we were doing, we did the right thing.

227
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 1: Look at the viewership. We're pretty happy.

228
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: In the end.

229
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: They know business and it's a global enterprise. What is it?

230
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: Twenty three billion dollars in revenue every year and growing.

231
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: I'm like in Flintstones ad, But it's just the idea

232
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: of Look, if you didn't like it, don't watch go

233
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: take your dog for a walk, go to the bathroom,

234
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: make yourself an extra sandwich, whatever else. Say. Is it

235
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: necessarily first on my playlist? No, but I know plenty

236
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: of people it is bad Bunny and artists of his,

237
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, contemporaries, and he certainly featured on a bunch

238
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: of songs I know that I've heard a million times

239
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: with my kids. But it's the the English language part

240
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: of it. Be nice to know what's being said. But

241
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 1: that's on me right. I had months since the announcement

242
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: to try to learn his track list and go from there.

243
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: And there's still some folks that want to cling to that.

244
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: You don't move on, move over now. I think it

245
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: was entirely a TV thing. I'd be curious the people

246
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: in the stadium whether it played as well for them,

247
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: because it seemed like it was more a made for

248
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: TV kind of filming the way, but you have stadium shots.

249
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: That was not one that you had a lot of

250
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: the Hey, let's do the overhead, because the overhead is

251
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: key here, right. It was more the let's get in

252
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: in the mix, So a different experience, but it works

253
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: for what we're looking for in a viral, communal kind

254
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: of atmosphere where you're trying to win the digital downloads,

255
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: which he has done repeatedly as a musical artist. And

256
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: now you get your four billion plus and for the NFL,

257
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: it's proof of concept going next level and you'll have

258
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: more contracts of disseminating the game into different marketplaces next

259
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: year here in Los Angeles. Don't be surprised if it's

260
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 1: a K pop group or something ang can you imagine,

261
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: but legit like BTS would be popular again, like if

262
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: they came out or they did a whole like no, no,

263
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: they shoot a whole like K pop Demon Hunters, that's

264
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: the whole thing. At halftime they do songs and they

265
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: do Demon Hunters. People running around in those costumes. I

266
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: don't know. But you're trying to figure out, what's that

267
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: next iteration? How do you make it bigger and faster

268
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: and stronger. We were talking about, you know when in

269
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: Living Color did the alternate version of things all those

270
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: years ago on Fox had changed the game, right, new

271
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Kids on the Block, and then a couple of years

272
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: later you get the Michael Jackson halftime performance and they

273
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: never looked back. And it's been bigger and bigger and

274
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: a larger production. But the numbers bear it out. I

275
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: joke about the slide because you know it's just terminology, right,

276
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: and it gets you to click, going, wow, it slid.

277
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: What happened? Was there that big a bag? And then

278
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers like, yeah, it's a rounding error,

279
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: moving on right, that kind of thing, And then you

280
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: start looking at the larger scale impressions and what it

281
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: meant in terms of downloads. I mean, it's worth every penny.

282
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: And for Roger Goodell, I knew he'd stands strong on

283
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: it unless unless he couldn't get an assurance that there

284
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be a divisive message posted. And it

285
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: was anything but yeah, right, that's the thing, right, Because

286
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: he's had a few occasions at the Grammys and others

287
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: where he said some things that might offend half of

288
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: your population that should watch the game. He didn't do

289
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: anything like that on Sunday. It was all about embracing

290
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: everybody and callture and history and giving everybody a big

291
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: hug and look. And sometimes decisions like that require steel

292
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: nerves to say, no, we're sticking with this, right, we're

293
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: sticking with this. I know we're gonna we're kind of

294
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: getting out on all sides, and we're sticking with this

295
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: because we're about growing our game and this is how

296
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: we're going to grow the game, and we stick with it.

297
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: Sough decision, but it turned out being really I mean,

298
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: they said, we're going to drive people towards it so

299
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 1: they can see for themselves. It's brilliant. Exit out about

300
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: a Fresca exit swallowing don there's the reason why the

301
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: NFL is head and shoulders above every other league in sports.

302
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: There you go. All you need right there is the

303
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. You don't have to like him, but he

304
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: knows business. Exit out about a Fresca exit swalling Dome.

305
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we have more from the NFL and

306
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,040

337
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: for half the sports in America and bad for the

338
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: other half. So we had curling was a big headline today.

339
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Silver medal and curling. Uh, United States thumps Canada and

340
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: hockey five nothing women. It's a huge game. And we

341
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: had the biathloner who admitted to cheating on his wife

342
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: after getting a bronze medal. The girlfriend that, yeah, region

343
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: didn't think I was getting that. But the whole thing,

344
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: you know, we'll get to the curling coming up a

345
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: bit because people are just you know watching it right now. Uh,

346
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, seeing because it's being aired on the West

347
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: Coast for the first time.

348
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

349
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: The win by the United States over Canada in hockey,

350
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter how much you watch, you know,

351
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: women's hockey. If you do, it's Olympic hockey, and everybody

352
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: drops everything. United States, Canada, United States, Russia, whatever it is.

353
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: We're all, you know, Nited States, Canada for men, United

354
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: States Canada for women. But I just want to tell

355
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 1: you this, there's a large point to make here when

356
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: it comes to when it comes to women's sports. Like

357
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,479
Speaker 1: watching this game today, the United States Canada didn't even

358
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 1: look like they belonged to the same ice of the

359
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: United States. United States is younger, faster, more jump. I

360
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: know Canada was missing their captain, but it didn't matter.

361
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: They could have had Messi and Gretzky playing for them

362
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: today and it wouldn't have mattered. Right, Like, you just

363
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: watch this game and you can see the United States,

364
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,400
Speaker 1: the the odd man rushes, the way they control play

365
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: like they have just been thumping Canada recently in women's hockey. Now,

366
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: the thing is to take to think about this for

367
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 1: a second is and to understand how important something very

368
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: big is is that look at Olympic or look at

369
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: look at hockey, and look at soccer worldwide. These are

370
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: two sports that are extremely popular in the United States

371
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: that aren't our sports. Right, Hockey is canada sport and

372
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: soccer is the world sport. Right, and they're you know,

373
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: these are all sports in the United States. We play

374
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: ketchup on right, We playing ketchup on soccer for years,

375
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: ketchup on, ketchup and ketchup on on hockey. Right, Canada

376
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: was always the best out. Now look at where we

377
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: are in hockey and soccer. The US women's national teams

378
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: have found a way to not just catch up, but

379
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: become dominant in these sports, right. And this is a

380
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: thirty year thing, thirty year thing for women's soccer, thirty

381
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: year thing for women's hockey. Meanwhile, on the men's side, boy,

382
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: still Team USA men's hockey is good. Team Canada is

383
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: much better in soccer. Boy, we are how many? How

384
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 1: many teams are we trailing across the globe in men's soccer? Right?

385
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: But the thing is is is when you look at

386
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: this and go, okay, why are women Why have the

387
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: women's sports been able to do this? This is when

388
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: you look at something you go, man, I'm really glad

389
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: we have title nine in our country because other countries don't.

390
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Canada doesn't. There's a big push of Canada the last year. Hey,

391
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: we do more things as they do some things to

392
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: try to, you know, make sure that hey, women's sports

393
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: is pushed, and there's something like that, but no country

394
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: has Title nine and the fact that you look at

395
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: us having Title nine and be able to push so

396
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: many athletes towards college and towards sports and being able

397
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: to do it, you can see the shear because of

398
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: the sheer number of people we have in our country.

399
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: We're going to get people who are going to go

400
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: to University of Wisconsin Madison and then become stars for

401
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: the women's hockey team. They're going to go to all

402
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: to all different colleges across the country and become stars

403
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,479
Speaker 1: for the women's soccer team. And you can see because

404
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: of that, there's such an explosion that we're picking from

405
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: the best of a three hundred and fifty million, three

406
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: and sixty million person country where hey, we have so

407
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: much more people part of the population that we can

408
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: choose from for these sports, whereas the other countries don't

409
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: push it as much. So for all the Title nine

410
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: and we played it. Yeah, no, No, Title nine has

411
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: been awesome. And all you have to do is look

412
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: at the results we're seeing in sports that are at ours,

413
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: that we've caught up to and surpassed other countries in

414
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: their own sports, and none of them have title mind,

415
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: none of anything close to Title mind, like they try obviously,

416
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: and you look him and you know there was a

417
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: big impassion letter I read today from a couple of

418
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,639
Speaker 1: athletes in Canada saying, listen, we need to do X,

419
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: Y and Z. We need to do what the United

420
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: States is doing. And you know, Title nne's been around

421
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: for you know what, I think, thirty nine whatever it was,

422
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: forty years. This needs to be something that we wind

423
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: up having as well, and other countries don't have it.

424
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: So for all of that, you want to see why

425
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: women's sports globally has been able to do this, you

426
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: got to thank Title nine because that's what responsible for. Yeah.

427
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about just an infusion of revenue,

428
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: and look, you follow the money. That's generally the way

429
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: this works. If you realize there's a doubt. It is

430
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: like we're talking about Roger Goodell and the halftime show.

431
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: A lot of the moves the NFL makes are not

432
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: popular with everybody. A lot of stances on things. Think

433
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: about the eighteenth game and how much blowback that keeps

434
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: getting and mouthpieces and its smith comes out of all

435
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: these guys. It's like, well, you get half of the

436
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: revenue in the end, you'll take it for small cons sessions.

437
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: That's just the way it works, or or they'll force

438
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: it on you via a lockout. But for women's sports, thing,

439
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: as soon as you realize, hey, there's a market, there's

440
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: a growing appetite for the sports, and there's money to

441
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: be made television and everything else. You know, there's no

442
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: altruism to it. You know, you get into the legal

443
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: ease of it and the dollars and it and it

444
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: pays off over time, and certainly on this in this

445
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: perspective on the global stage where money gets spent, you'd

446
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: love to see the spending for the Olympic committees from

447
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: other countries and how they operate. And you talk about,

448
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: you know, the Canadian contingent that that's saying that very thing.

449
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, let's let's model ourselves after what they're doing.

450
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: And bit by bit you're seeing it. It's curious because

451
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: on this day we also have the Missouri State men's

452
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: soccer squad that they've now got a roster that's entirely

453
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: no American born players. So you see kind of going yeah, yeah,

454
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: you know, it's a whole mishmash of of different ways

455
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: of approaching rochster building. Uh, and and building into these

456
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: larger events. But on the Olympic stage like that game

457
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: today was was just laugher, you know, from pillar to

458
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: post and obviously you had the one big no look

459
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: pass to the slot that just was just absurd right

460
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: coming in skates and one of those stop stop at moments.

461
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: You wish you could make a little sport flick card

462
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: of that, you know, because it's really cool. Here's the

463
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: three or four images. But it's always curious the the

464
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: investment does pay off. It takes time, It takes patience.

465
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 1: You got to have your resolve and we've we've talked

466
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: about it as long as we've been doing the show

467
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: here when it comes to women's college basketball, uh and

468
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: other sports, of the investment pays. It's just a slow

469
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: build and you have to have people stick around. I mean,

470
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: look at what the w NBA is finally starting to

471
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: really turn the corner. It took a long time rhead

472
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: the track. And look, you can't dismiss the losses that

473
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: had been incurred. But over time, taste change, dollars, spending,

474
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: who's controlling wallets and spend on such things puts them

475
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: on a big stage and the opportunity to go get

476
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: one of those medals to break in half. I mean, hey,

477
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: come on, man, fanatics is not enjoying the medal on

478
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: the metal, not a dot jump in the metal. Don't

479
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: do it. Just take the medal and hold it in

480
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: your hands and bring it over. Put it in a

481
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: loose sight case anybody. It's a baseball card. Don't let everybody.

482
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: Can I see your medal? No, because if you look

483
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: at it too hard, it's going to a fracture. That's

484
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: how great Title nine is for us because you see

485
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: as being able to surpass other in sports that are

486
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: at ours. Now when you get to the biathlon. Okay,

487
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: other big story for Olympics today. Now you probably saw

488
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: that it's tough because the the the audio is not

489
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: in English obviously, but bronze medal is Sterla home Ledrid

490
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: of Norway won the bronze medal and biathlon today. Now

491
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: his countryman won the gold medal and in his post

492
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:10,360
Speaker 1: race interview, he decided to talk about something very near

493
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: and dear to himself, his relationship with his girlfriend. He

494
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: said that three months ago he cheated on the love

495
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: of his life, the most beautiful and kindest person they

496
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: met six months ago and they started dating and the

497
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 1: love of his life. But three months ago he cheated

498
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: on her, and he said, quote, I told her a

499
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: week ago, it's been the worst week of my life.

500
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: I had a gold medal in life, and there's probably

501
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people out here who look at me

502
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: differently now, but I only have eyes for her. Sports

503
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: has taken a bit of a backseat these days. I

504
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: wish I could share this with her. So this is

505
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: what he decided to say. After coming in third and

506
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: winning a bronze medal in the biathley, he was distracted

507
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: and bereft, but still was able to manage the bronze.

508
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: For all of you out there going through hardships in

509
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: your life, you can still hit the metal stand no

510
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: matter what you're going through. This is like the end

511
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,400
Speaker 1: of a movie where you following the star and he wins,

512
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean anything unless the woman in his

513
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: life is there. And he does an interview on television

514
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: where he's talking about how much he loved the only

515
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: thing that was missing was her running through the crowd

516
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: like she was Adrian and Rocky, losing her hat, running

517
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: up Rocky, going through the ropes and kind of hugging

518
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: at the end, you got that, or the symbolic him

519
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: just chucking the metal in the trash as he means nothing.

520
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, you know what the lesson learned here is, guy, Well, okay,

521
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, win gold. When gold you can give that speech.

522
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,959
Speaker 1: Well no, well he didn't have a choice. He won bronze.

523
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: It's Valentine's Day coming up, you know, well win gold.

524
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: I want to say this first thing. I want to

525
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 1: say this, how genuine is he? Like when you say

526
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: this was the love of my life. He started dating

527
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: six months ago and you cheated on her after three months? Like,

528
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: so that's the honey, that's the honey period where we

529
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: should only have eyes here. This wasn't seven year itch.

00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: You know you're a karan. That's like a lifetime. That
