1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Don't listen. Sports.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no. You don't get to have it

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 2: both ways. That's that's where we're starting. You do not

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: get to have it both ways. You can have it

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: one way or the other way. You get to declare.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 2: It's kind of like a hand of poker. You're gonna

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: go high or you're gonna go low. And then once

8
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: you do that, I'm sorry. You've declared. You don't get

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 2: to have it both ways. We'll explain that. What we

10
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,119
Speaker 2: won't explain is the NBA n Season Tournament because I

11
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: don't know that I can. We've also got some we

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: got some Otani stuff to get to all kinds of

13
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 2: stuff on a Sunday night.

14
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: How are you, Big Fellows's great man? How you doing?

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: I could not be better.

16
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: I secretly did last week's show at a secret location

17
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: and I didn't tell you, and I wanted to know

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: if you noticed. Yeah, yeah, did you know that? Did

19
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: you know that I was doing that show from the

20
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 2: bathroom from the Islands? Brother, I was doing that. I

21
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: did that show live inside a condo in Kawai.

22
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: Do you believe that gost them? The magic of technology? Right?

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: How was?

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: I had a bunch of people oh, not the show.

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: How I forget the show.

26
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: The show like Kawaii is, it's not just Hawaii for me,

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: because if you've been to a few of the islands,

28
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: they all have their own personality.

29
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: Kawaii for me is heaven on Earth. It's have you

30
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: ever been? Really? Yes? Have you? That was? That was

31
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: a stupid moment, wasn't it?

32
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: That like me asking if there's something I've done that

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 2: you haven't done.

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: The answers come on now exactly your mere mortals question. No.

35
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: But but I've been to Hawaii on the work capacity

36
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: and for for leisure. Hawaii was in our in our division,

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: our conference, excuse me, in college, so we Would's right,

38
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: That's why I've been all of different all of the islands,

39
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: I've gone on all of yea, not all of them.

40
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 2: Anyway, the lush green of Kawaii, that's that's where we were.

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: So I'm having all the fields right now because now

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm I'm back at my desk.

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: Is where I am, So it just back to regular.

44
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I got a desk and at a little

45
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: bit of of extra color, a little sunburn. But but

Speaker 2: but boy, we're good, We're good, and I'm I'm I'm

47
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 2: glad to be back chopping it up with you because

48
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: one of the conversations I was having with you in Kawai,

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 2: we were not done with it yet.

50
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: And that's where we'll start.

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the ti raq dot com studios.

55
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: the way tire buying should be. So, I was looking

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 2: at Dame Lillard's Twitter over the last few days and

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: he's been largely quiet except on July sixth. This was Thursday,

58
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: he wrote, And you always know when someone's kind of

59
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: at the center of attention when they can just tweet

60
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: one or two words and everyone knows exactly what's going on.

61
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: Like you remember when Chris Paul just tweeted Wow, you remember, yeah?

62
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: I know you remember as a as a Laker fan,

63
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: you remember.

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, So Dame just tweets I'm amazed, and that's it. Now.

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: The radio station that's the home of the Blazers just

66
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: replied and goes why And he responded back and said

67
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: at how people could know so much and know so

68
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: little at the same time, and I have no doubt

69
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: that he's right. Our world sports radio e f or

70
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of know it alls who actually don't know, right,

71
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 2: we don't know. There's no way for us to know.

72
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: We can't know what's going on inside the clubhouse, the

73
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: locker room and the minds of the performers. But I

74
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: do know this as I was thinking about it, and

75
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: I wonder if you can, maybe you can think of

76
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: something that I'm not thinking of. Do you know what

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 2: Dame Lillard is experiencing right now for the first time

78
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 2: in his life, controversy. I don't think he's ever experienced

79
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 2: this in his whole life. Dame Lillard has had just

80
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: this b bopolu career. We didn't see him coming and

81
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 2: then he showed up and he was amazing. And he's

82
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: been an Oregon hanging out, scoring points, making millions and

83
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 2: millions of dollars the whole time, without any pressure, without

84
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: any controversy, without.

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Anybody ever seeming to say bad word.

86
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: He has been in a snuggie in the northwest corner

87
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: of our country.

88
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: But not now. And that's that's what the other side

89
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: looks like, Dame.

90
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: To me, that's what he's experiencing right now, which is

91
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: he's being called a hypocrite. He has paused all of

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: free agency. He's done all of this because he has

93
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 2: stepped forward into the firing line for the first time

94
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: in his life.

95
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about you. It's about you. It's about what

96
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: you're deciding to do when you're gonna do it, and

97
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: sometimes it could be uncomfortable. That's a bright, bright spotlight. Right, Dame,

98
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: has been like you said, safe and nestled, went to

99
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: Weber State, right showed out in a tournament. But for

100
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: the large part, you know, it's it's it's you know,

101
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: it's been all quiet on the Northern Front, but now

102
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: you know everyone has an opinion on what you should do,

103
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: what you want to do, what you said you're gonna

104
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: do all of those things. So you know, welcome, welcome

105
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: to the right. That's this is what goes with it.

106
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: Yep, and thank you, and and that's kind of my point.

107
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: This is what comes with it, Dame. You don't get

108
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 2: to be mad at this. This is the deal, now

109
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 2: part of it.

110
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 1: This is the deal.

111
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: These are these are your statements that are getting thrown

112
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 2: back in your face.

113
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: Number one and number.

114
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 2: Two, as you and I talked about last week. It's

115
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: one thing to request a trade. It's another thing to

116
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: say you have to trade me there, and then it's

117
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: a third and final straw. When the team doesn't immediately comply,

118
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: your agent goes on the offensive, calls the rest of

119
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: the league, tells him, don't acquire my client because he.

120
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: Is not going to play for you. If you do,

121
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: that is scorched earth.

122
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: And you don't get to scorch the earth and then

123
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: get mad at people for being mad at you.

124
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: Or having an opinion about it. Right, all right. We're

125
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: in an opinion based business. So anytime you hear us

126
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: comment on something, whether you like it or not, it's

127
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: our opinion. We're reporting on what we've heard. Sometimes we'll

128
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: agree with you, sometimes we won't. But to say, you

129
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: know how, so many know. So we just we're using

130
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: the information we have and forming our opinions on it.

131
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: And that's what the media does. M that's it, and

132
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: he's got the right.

133
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 2: By the way, this is always to me, this is

134
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: always a push pull, and you'll be great on this.

135
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure you experienced it in your career.

136
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: There are moments where the media will say, well, then

137
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: you need to come out and say something publicly. Right. Yes,

138
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: it's usually a bad idea, but but you do have

139
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: that option if you don't like what people are saying

140
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: and you think we've got it all wrong. Until then,

141
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: dame the truth. Yeah, go ahead, tell us where we're wrong.

142
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: You know, what most do is what he's doing, which is,

143
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: let's go to social media and we'll pick six words

144
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: and we'll just post those and we'll be kind of

145
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: passive aggressive about it and a little bit mysterious, and

146
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840
Speaker 2: then people are going to take that and try to

147
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: guess again at.

148
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: What it is you're thinking and feeling.

149
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: You know, if you're demanding that you be a member

150
00:08:54,720 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 2: of the Miami Heat next year, and you're allowed to

151
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: come out and say that, And by the way, if

152
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: you're not, now would be a great time to let

153
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: everybody know, because that's what we all think.

154
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, bro, in today's media, you have the power

155
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: to say what what you want to say and when

156
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: you want to say it, So address it right, put

157
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: it all a bed you can. If not, we will continue.

158
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: On and we will continue on with what is you know,

159
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 2: and like it's obvious that these stories are not made up.

160
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 2: The fact that he's requested a trade is not made up.

161
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 2: The people who have reported this are very reputable. It

162
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: has not been denied, so that's real. Also, what's our

163
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: other clue free agency done? Stop the whole NBA planet.

164
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: They've been like two minimum deals in some weird Celtics

165
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: trade for Grant Williams and outside of that, and not

166
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: a damn thing that's happened on the week of July fourth,

167
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: which is traditionally when we watch fireworks and get breaking news,

168
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 2: and not a damn thing has happened, And Dame, you know,

169
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: damn well, why nothing has happened. The whole world is

170
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: sitting there waiting for your game of Chicken to end,

171
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 2: and it hasn't. So that tells us everything. I believe

172
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: that right now we need to know, which is that

173
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: this is real. There's a standoff. You want out, you

174
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: want it to be at Miami. Portland doesn't like what's

175
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,199
Speaker 2: being told back to them, and I, by the way,

176
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: I support them completely in that they should not just

177
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 2: have to slump their shoulders and go okay, Dame, okay,

178
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: we'll take Tyler hero like. No, they want what they

179
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: want and there's a standoff, and tell me where I'm wrong,

180
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: and Dame has every ability to tell us where we're wrong,

181
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 2: and he's chosen not to do that so far.

182
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: Hey man, buckle up. It's gonna be a bumpy ride

183
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: until you actually land the plane. That's it. When you

184
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: create turbulence, you got to sit in it. You got

185
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: to sit down in it. When you create it, you

186
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: got to ride it out. It's the only way, the

187
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: only way. Yep.

188
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 2: So where do we go from here? Is it a

189
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 2: matter of just who blinks first? We get to all

190
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: of that. We do have some things to say about

00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: it is we can say, but we'll try. That's all

221
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: Like, I want to be clear sort of where I'm

222
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: coming from on this from you know, there's been a

223
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: lot of back and forth. I even was listening to uh,

224
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: you know, Monsey and Brian and everybody there just about

225
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: an hour ago on the show kind of sparring a

226
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 2: little bit about Dame Lillard, and it's all sort of

227
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 2: like whether or not Dame should be handling it this way,

228
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: should he be allowed to select his new team? He

229
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 2: is under contract, and I get all that, and I

230
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: do think it's it's it's a difficult sort.

231
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: Of line to walk. I get all that.

232
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: I'm sort of moving it though, like revolve the ball

233
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: or evolve if you will. If you're Dame Lillard, if

234
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: you want to do it this way, then my man,

235
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 2: you get to do it this way.

236
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: But I don't think then you get to you get.

237
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: To wag your finger at anybody and say, oh, you

238
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: guys are all being unfair, or you don't understand you

239
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 2: know what it's like to be me.

240
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Of course we don't understand what it's like to be you.

241
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: But that's the man.

242
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: You chose to go about it this way, and he should.

243
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: Have been well aware that this is the way it

244
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 1: was going to sound. No one had to know, No

245
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: one had to know, right right, We could have been

246
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: surprised when they announced the trade. Seriously, we could have

247
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: been surprised. We didn't have to know which team you

248
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: wanted to go to. You, we didn't have to know

249
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: that you requested a trade or any of that. You

250
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: had a closed door meeting. From that meeting, Portland representatives said,

251
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: Dame is here and he's committed to being in Portland.

252
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: Forty eight hours later, the news broke that da Lillard

253
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: requested a trade and he wants to go to Miami.

254
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: After that meeting and that press conference, that could have

255
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: been all we heard all summer. We wouldn't be having

256
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: this conversation right now. That could have been all we heard.

257
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: And from then you could go do what you do

258
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: and strike deals and make things happen and so on

259
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: and so forth, and then we could have been surprised

260
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: with breaking news. We cut into the middle of the

261
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: San Antonio Spurs Blazers Summer League game and Damian Lillard

262
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 1: has officially been traded to the Miami Heat for whatever whatever.

263
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Then we could be talking about it because it had

264
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: been tangible and it's a so you chose this. No

265
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: one told your agent to call around to tell teams

266
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: don't honor trades. Dame ain't comment like, so you don't

267
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: get to dictate how the information is in just and

268
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: disseminate like you don't get to do that. This is

269
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: us This is an opinion based business, and when some

270
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: facts come out, we base our opinions on the small

271
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: facts that we have.

272
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 2: You may not like that, well, nope, no, it's quite

273
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 2: possible that I'll maintain yes, especially when it's the first

274
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: time you've ever experienced it. That's all I really think

275
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 2: this is. And then the look, Dame Lillard is a celebrity,

276
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 2: so it's not the first time somebody said something funky

277
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: about Dame Lillard. I get that, but this is a

278
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 2: conversation changer with regard to his career. And I actually

279
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: don't even think you can escape that. It would be

280
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 2: wild to say otherwise. And I do see people who

281
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 2: are fans of the Blazers, and so that's fine, you

282
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 2: can be a fan all you want. But people talking

283
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: about how uh, but Dame has has earned this. Dame's

284
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: been loyal his whole life. You know, boy, nobody should

285
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: ever say anything about Dame. Well, no, this changes everything,

286
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: and it has to, and that's fine. That's not a criticism.

287
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 2: But let's not act like this is just sort of

288
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: you know, the ball moving down the field in the

289
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: life and career of Dame Lillard. This is totally different

290
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: and totally against everything that he has tried to build.

291
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 2: Do you remember when Lebron went through this and we

292
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: had hours of conversation about whether or not Lebron cared

293
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 2: about what other.

294
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: People out right?

295
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: Maybe he was one of those guys, right, Jordan don't care,

296
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 2: Kobe don't care.

297
00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: Ah, Lebron cares. I think Dame Lillard cares. And that's okay, boy,

298
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: that's what he's built his brand. Right.

299
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: But my man, this is this is different. This is

300
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: different than anything you've ever done. That's a fact, that's

301
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 2: not an opinion. And and so now you gotta you

302
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 2: gotta swim in the in the waters in which you jumped.

303
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: We live in a fact based business now from certain facts,

304
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: opinions can can can spew and they may not track

305
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: the facts. Right we were, You know, we live in

306
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: a society that loves to embellish or see things through

307
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: one lens. The fact is you wanted to trade, you

308
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: want to go to Miami. That's what we know. That's

309
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: what we know. So to say we that's not true,

310
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: then why is your agent calling everybody else? Is that

311
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: not true? Right? So these are reputable people who stake

312
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: their career on information and so this is this is

313
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: where we're living right now. Look, I love Dame. I

314
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: love him as a competitor a basketball player, yep, coming

315
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: from the old. I love his demeanor. I love him

316
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: as a star. I love his loyalty, and I love

317
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: what he's done for his family. And I love him

318
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: in the booth right, all of that. This is welcome.

319
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: This is this is what happens now, Dame. You could

320
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 1: have just been like, nah, I'm just gonna stand Portland

321
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: like we thought is what happened from the information we

322
00:19:54,480 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: were given after your private meeting. Correct, But that wasn't

323
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: what happened. For whatever reason, in forty eight hours it changed.

324
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 1: So now we're facing in the situation of Okay, Dame

325
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: wants to go to Miami. Miami may not have enough

326
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: to get Dame. So now what do we do? Three

327
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: team take trade, four team trade? Like what's happening? Right?

328
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: He can't. He's not going anywhere else. Yeah, but that's

329
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: not his choice. Whether he's unhappy or not. He still

330
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: has pride. We know Damian Lillard has pride and what

331
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 1: he does as a player. So to say you're gonna

332
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: have an unhappy player, okay, but he's still gonna be

333
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: playing right for four more years.

334
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 2: And not at a point in his career where if

335
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 2: this is his goals, like I need to go chase

336
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: the championship. He is not of the point in his

337
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 2: career where he can be like, and I'm gonna sit

338
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,880
Speaker 2: out next season because.

339
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: No, oh, I'm gonna play bad. No, come on, it's

340

00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: here to say if he went to the Lakers, he's

342
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,679

434
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: excited to uh to take a look at that here

435
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: coming up soon. We're in the Tirack dot Com studios,

436
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 2: Mark Willardy from Salaam. However, you're bringing us in here

437
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: on this Fox Sports Sunday. We really appreciate you right

438
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Radio. Let me ask you another question,

439
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: and this is sort of again the evolution of where

440
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 2: the Dame Lillard situation is going.

441
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: I think Dame wanted.

442
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 2: A perfect world, which is to compete for a championship

443
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 2: where he was drafted and be the lead player.

444
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: Well, not gonna happen. But I'll ask it this way.

445
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: I would never ask a fan base how they rank

446
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: or look at championships.

447
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: A fan base loves them no matter what.

448
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: Like being a fan of the Warriors, I know that

449
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 2: we did have that conversation to a degree, and the

450
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: first and the fourth feel a little bit more fun

451
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: because they were more surprising. And so if we take

452
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: that premise, because we're essentially saying when Kevin Durant was

453
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 2: on the Warriors, those were in some way slightly lesser

454
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 2: championships only because they were expected a little bit more.

455
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 1: But transfer that to the player.

456
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: In other words, when someone has to go join quote

457
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: unquote someone else's team, we look at those championships the

458
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 2: same Is that player credited the way that a Yannis

459
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: is I'll call that a homegrown one, the way a

460
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 2: Jokic is the one he just got, is it credited

461
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: the same way? If Dame's got to go join Jimmy

462
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: Buckets and a system that has well been established, what

463
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,719
Speaker 2: if he goes out there and he does win how

464
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 2: would we view.

465
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: It me personally, It depends on that player, in this

466
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: case Dame Leeward Damian Lillard, and how he performs. When

467
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: KD went to Golden State, he became the player on

468
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 1: the team. He outperformed the former two time MVP, especially

469
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and in the finals. So you look

470
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: at it and be like, oh okay, he wasn't there

471
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:22,400
Speaker 1: to ride on the coattails, right. He showed improved. When

472
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: Lebron left Cleveland and went to join an already champion

473
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: and superstar Dwayne Wade, he outperformed Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

474
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: So it was like, oh okay, right. When KG and

475
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: Ray Allen went to Boston to join Paul Pierce, they

476
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 1: brought it was kg's team.

477
00:28:55,360 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: He brought the energy, he brought the the fire, the grit,

478
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: all of that. He brought that with him.

479
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: So if Dame Lillard goes to Miami and it's sensational

480
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: and it's a superstar, which I believe he will, then

481
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: I wouldn't look at them any different because they're still

482
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: the alpha in the room. Now. If you go and

483
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: you're not, then that's when you start looking like, oh huh,

484
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, now you can really start. Oh,

485
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: I guess his career is on the downslope, and and

486
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: and you gotta remember the first example I gave, like

487
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: flash was was everything. Remember when when when Miami won

488
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: that that that championship with with Shaq and Dwayne Wade

489
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: and scored twenty eight points in a row in the

490
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: four like like that was like, oh, he was a

491
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: super duper star. The big question when Lebron was taking

492
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: his talents to South Beach was how is that gonna work?

493
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: They're both superstars. Who's going to take the back seat.

494
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: Dwayne Wade was like, I'm gonna take the back seat.

495
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let the I'm gonna let the youngin go,

496
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: and he went. They won two championships, not eight, not seven,

497
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: not six? All right? They want to should play that

498
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: quote in reverse, right exactly? That's all right? Right? Yeah? Yeah.

499
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: So if Dame goes to Miami and increases what Miami

500
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: can do, which I believe he can. He's scoring in

501
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: the thirties. Dame can give you thirty a game, right,

502
00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler in the regular season is right around twenty

503
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: two to twenty three points a game. It ticks up

504
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: in the playoffs dramatically. But if Dame is Dame and

505
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: he's able to make that happen, then yeah, I would say, oh, okay,

506
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: Dame helped him get over the hump, just like Lebron

507
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: helped d Wade get over the humph. They over the

508
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: hump again.

509
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 2: Well sure, And while the Durant example that we started with,

510
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: I do think still people in the back of their

511
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: mind when you talk about Kevin Durant the champion, they

512
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 2: do still have this little even though yes he was

513
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: the Finals MVP, he was the top performer, but people

514
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 2: like it still feels a little bit different because he

515
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: joined something so established.

516
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: And they were around him, they just had right like

517
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: so it was just like.

518
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: Right, they were already at the top of the mountain. Yes,

519
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 2: they had just won seventy three regular season games. Yeah,

520
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: that's a cheap coat title, that's a cheat coach.

521
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: Okay.

522
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 2: So, but but outside of that, what Dame is worried

523
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: about everybody's sort of saying about him.

524
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 1: I wish he would realize they won't say that.

525
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: Nobody's keeping score at that sort of a level. If

526
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: you go win the thing, you're going to get a

527
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: ton of credit and as opposed to if you're a one,

528
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: if you're a two, it's if it's sort of like

529
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 2: co stars, whatever it is.

530
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: I just don't think.

531
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: People are keeping track at that level. You're going to

532
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: get the credit that you're due, you have to be something.

533
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: I think it's what you said.

534
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 2: If you look like you're a lesser player in the playoffs,

535
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 2: that's when our antennas go up. You know, Jordan Poole

536
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: just got introduced by the Washington Wizards, and I think

537
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 2: when people say, well, he's already got his ring, I'm like, yeah,

538
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 2: as a bench player who whose play went down in

539
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: the playoffs. So to me, there's still a lot of

540
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 2: the apple to chew there. A little bit different for.

541
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 1: Dame Lillard, Yeah, yeah, he is. Dame is a superstar,

542
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: no doubt. Name is a superstar. He's not a star,

543
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: he's a superstar. He's just a superstar that plays in

544
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: Portland alone. And it's been that way for a while.

545
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: We don't get a lot of Portland primetime games, not

546
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot of Christmas Day Portland games, right, not a

547
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of New Year's Portland games, not a lot of

548
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: Sunday Night basketball Portland games. So unless you're in that market,

549
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: you don't get to see dame or if you're watching

550
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: Sports Center and you see the highlights, and right, we

551
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:01,479
Speaker 1: haven't gotten a chance to relish in his a revel

552
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 1: and his greatness with a deep playoff run, because that's

553
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: when it comes a lot of people didn't really watch

554
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: the Joker like they got to see during the playoffs. Right,

555
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: Denver is one of those markets. Matter of fact, nobody

556
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: even trusted Denver to win the whole thing coming out

557
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 1: of the West. So now the world knows. Now everybody

558
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 1: the Cavalier fan, right the the maybe I'll watch NBA,

559
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: maybe I'll go on a hike. That fan knows who

560
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: the Joker is and how dynamic and how dominant he is,

561
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully Daan can get some of that love as well.

562
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 2: The NFL and the gambling controversy, the NBA in season tournament,

563
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: and whether or not Sho hal Tani is an appropriate

564
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 2: trade target or or not. All of that is coming

565
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,439
Speaker 2: up next on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, we're live inthe

566
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: ti rack dot com studios. Mark Willardy from Salam Be

567
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 2: honest with me, Man, be honest with me.

568
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: You understand this. NBA in season tournament. No, like, could

569
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: you explain oh to your sons? No, I could not.

570
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm I'm I'm lost.

571
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm lost, but I'm hopeful. And the reason I say

572
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: that because when the play in tournament was initially put

573
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: in and discussed and talked about, I was like, what

574
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: is this crap? This is stupid for a lack of

575
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: a better word, right, Lebron James and other players felt

576
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,359
Speaker 1: the same way. That's a waste of time, that's dumb,

577
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: that's stud all of these things. Mm hmmm. Well, a

578
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: couple of years later, it's like, man, I really like

579
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: to play it, right, I think that's I think it's great.

580
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: You get an opportunity. We just had a you know,

581
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: we just had the two playing teams that came right

582
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: out of the West and in the East, went to

583
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 1: the conference finals and in the NBA Finals. So I

584
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: like the playing tournament Now I do too. It Initially

585
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: I was like, no, shot, this is trash.

586
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm glad you're optimistic. I'm glad you're drawing a

587
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: line from the playing tournament to the end season tournament.

588
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 2: They're calling it the NBA Cup. I don't know if

589
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 2: I share your optimism, though, because the playing tournament is

590
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: part of the playoffs, there's urgency in that there are

591
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: elimination games. Nobody's being eliminated. Like, one of my main

592
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: questions is, why do I the fan care if my

593
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: team wins the NBA Cup?

594
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: What does that get us? Right? Did the players on

595
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: my favorite team all get money? Because?

596
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 2: Boy, on the list of things, I ain't tripping about

597
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: anything that is very higher.

598
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: I am not.

599
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: I do not worry about Steph Curry's money. I Aint

600
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: doing fine. Here's here's what I found today that scares

601
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 2: the but Jesus out of me.

602
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: E from this is amazing. So I'm on the.

603
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 2: NBA Communications Twitter feed and they've been sending out stuff

604
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,919
Speaker 2: all weekend long. Oh we've introduced it, and we've got

605
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 2: group stages and the teams now or are you in Group.

606
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: Abcdef or whatever? The hell? They're right all this stuff.

607
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: So there's a grid that they sent out, like a

608
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:19,399
Speaker 2: full grid of all of the games that are supposedly

609
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: involved in all of this, And we got seedings and

610
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 2: blocks with different colors about whether they're home and away,

611
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 2: and then a massive grid that shows sixty different basketball

612
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: games what group they're in.

613
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: West East ABC.

614
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 2: Then there's a little footnote at the bottom and it goes,

615
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 2: note table is meant to be read from left to right.

616
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 2: For example, Seed one will play home games versus Seed

617
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 2: two and four and away games against Seeds three and five. Okay,

618
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 2: here here's something you don't ever want to do. If

619
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 2: you are an entertainment entity. You don't want a sentence

620
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: that says table is meant to be read from left

621
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 2: to You've got to explain to me how to even

622
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 2: read this, and then you follow that up with for example,

623
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, I feel like I'm eight years old and

624
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: someone's explaining monopoly to me. Ephraim, this is gonna take

625
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 2: a while. It's gonna take a while. But like I said,

626
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: I was hell bent on no play. This is ridiculous.

627
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 2: I think we all were, well, look how much we

628
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: enjoy it now. So I'm crossing my fingers for that

629
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 2: same effect.

630
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: I hope.

631
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:03,520

00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 2: approach new things with an open mind. I'm not here

646
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 2: to hate on the NBA In Season Tournament. That would

647
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,840
Speaker 2: be like a seven year old when you put broccoli

648
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: in front of him.

649
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: I don't like it. Well, you don't know if you

650
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: like it because you haven't tried it. I to try

651
00:40:58,520 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: say it.

652
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 2: I wanna try the NBA In Season Tournament. I got

653
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: no choice. I'm gonna try it. I'm not gonna tell

654
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 2: you it's lame. I'm gonna tell you we're off to

655
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 2: a bad start. We're off to a bad start. If

656
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 2: you if you sit down seriously, now you sit down

657
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: with a new board game. This is one of the

658
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: reasons I like to play Yachtzi. Look, you just throw

659
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: the five dice, Okay, the goal is to get all

660
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: of them to look the exact same, so and then

661
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 2: you have risk reward in how you go about doing that.

662
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 2: And here's all the other things that you can get. Okay,

663
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 2: let's roll. I just explained it to you. That took

664
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 2: me twelve seconds. We're a week in and we've got

665
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 2: grids and the NBA publicly going okay, okay. For example,

666
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 2: oh my god, you're making my brain hurt. I don't

667
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 2: want to think. Isn't this what everybody's telling us over

668
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 2: the last few years. It usually ends up with all

669
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 2: this political stuff. I don't want to think when I'm

670
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 2: watching sports. Look, if this is fun, great, I'm open

671
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: to it being fun. But so far, you sound like

672
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 2: my math teacher. So far, you sound like you're trying

673
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: to explain something, and I'm kind of wondering if there's

674
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 2: going to be a test at some point.

675
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. When they explain the playing tournament, did

676
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: you feel similar? No? It did take a minute, right,

677
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 1: because they start saying, like, you know, if the seventh seed,

678
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: if seventh eighth seed, well they play each other, and

679
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: then the seventh seed, the winner of the seventh an

680
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:47,479
Speaker 1: eight seed has to play the winner of the ninth

681
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: to ten seed and then they have to play, and

682
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: you were just like, wait, what is happening right now?

683
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: No, you're absolutely right, because our sports brain goes, wait

684
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 2: a minute. If you've got seven, eight, nine, ten seeds,

685
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,399
Speaker 2: seven plays ten and eight, and.

686
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: They were like, no, seventh there and then seven wins.

687
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 1: Whoever wins out of that is the seventh seed, and

688
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, right, okay, from there of that has

689
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: to play the winner of the ninth and tenth seed

690
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: for the eighth seed, and it was just like wait, man,

691
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: come on, bruh. So it was the same level of

692
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: confusion it was until we saw it. One until we

693
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: watched it. One problem here. But but.

694
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 2: I understood right away that the overall point of the

695
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:45,720
Speaker 2: play in tournament was two things. Let's welcome more teams

696
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 2: to our party, and when it's over, we're going to

697
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: have our final two playoff teams. So I understood that

698
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: you got the award, you got what the reward was

699
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: the reward we are going to happen.

700
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 1: What is that? What is the reward? Thank you for

701
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 1: the nd season? Can you explain that to me? What

702
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:12,720
Speaker 1: is it? What do we know? What is on the line.

703
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,280
Speaker 1: I think it's like money or something. And somebody wins

704
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: a cup. Okay, what do you put in the cup?

705
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 2: I would imagine if you're a hockey player, you'd put

706
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 2: beer in there. I don't know. That's my number one question.

707
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 2: If Adam Silver were standing in front of me, I'd

708
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 2: have two questions, Ada, Adam, Okay, hold, okay, go ahead,

709
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: all right, No, I was gonna say, I got two

710
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:42,480
Speaker 2: questions for you, Adam. Question number one, what really went

711
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: on with John Moran?

712
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: Man? Like, seriously, you got to tell me what the hell? Right? Okay,

713
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: that's that's question number one. I'd like to know that

714
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: as well.

715
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: Question number two, Hey, Adam, why is a fan supposed

716
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: to care.

717
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: About this? Here? We the team that wins the tournament

718
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: will be crowned with the NBA Cup. Each player on

719
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: the winning team will take home five hundred thousand. Players

720
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: on the second place team will get two hundred thousand each,

721
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 1: Players on losing semi finals teams will get one hundred

722
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: thousand each, and the quarterfinals quarterfinalists will earn fifty thousand

723
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:37,680
Speaker 1: per player. M hm, right, that's just more money. It's

724
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: vacation money. I mean, Draymond Green gets fined that amount

725
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 1: of money. Again, get it. But this is a as

726
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: a former athlete who came into the league through the

727
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: back door, right the back door where even if you

728
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: start and play all the plays and in the games,

729
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 1: you still don't make any money. Now, the league is

730
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:10,400
Speaker 1: built on that player. NBA is a little different. It's

731
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: only twelve players on the team. So you can have

732
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: five guys making ten million or more at the minimum,

733
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:24,879
Speaker 1: right at the minimum, five to six guys. But when

734
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: you look at seven through twelve or six through twelve,

735
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 1: you know they're not like Austin Reeves last year, like

736
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: that five hundred grand if they would have played, that

737
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: would be huge. The money I made from the playoff

738
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 1: run all the way to the Super Bowl almost eclipsed

739
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 1: what I made my whole salary, right, think about that, right,

740
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: and now when I went to the playoffs, the money

741
00:46:54,600 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: I made in the playoffs almost eclipsed my whole season setdllery.

742
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: So that five hundred grand for the guys who win

743
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: the Cup, for the like, and that'd be a great donation. Say,

744
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: like the Lakers win the Cup. I'm just throwing out

745
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: a random team again, just throw it out. Just say

746
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:20,479
Speaker 1: the Lakers win it and Lebron James gets to five

747
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, How would that How great would that be

748
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: if they donated that him a d you know even

749
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: Austin reeves. Now, well, if they donated that money to

750
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 1: the support staff, that'd be great. Right, you walk into

751
00:47:36,640 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 1: the equipment room and give the equipment manager five hundred

752
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: grand or two and fifty grand.

753
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,879
Speaker 2: Now I'm in doing right because that's not even it's

754
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 2: not even a game check for Lebron.

755
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: And y'all, no, that's not even that's a half check.

756
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 1: It's not even a half is maybe a hat like

757
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:54,920
Speaker 1: pet through the third quarter? Is like I did it?

758
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: I made my five hundred.

759
00:47:55,960 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 2: Grand, right, so why like listen? This would be my concern.

760
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 2: My concern is that in the age of load management,

761
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: this is going to backfire on the NBA.

762
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 1: I believe because what you do or you don't, I

763
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: believe it will. Yeah, it's got a backfire.

764
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 2: Let me ask your fan is sitting here, A fan

765
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 2: is sitting here, going you can't play in Denver because

766
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 2: you were in Minnesota the night before and you're tired.

767
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:32,839
Speaker 2: But now making fifty five million a year, now you

768
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: can play because another five hundred thousand, and I'm supposed

769
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: to lay down four hundred dollars for a floor ticket

770
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 2: to watch this. It is dancing in the neighborhood of offenceing.

771
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: You know what great? You know what also be great

772
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,000
Speaker 1: that the NBA can do to really make people get

773
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: behind this. These games wherever they're played, right, the lower

774
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: bowl of these games are two sections or whatever in

775
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 1: the lower bowl. All those tickets they buy, the season

776
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: tickets from the people who own them, and all those

777
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: tickets go to kids from charities, uh, underprivileged kids. Now

778
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: we got some energy going. So now we're like, oh, okay,

779
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it right. We're gonna make

780
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: it a thing in every market. We're taking two sections

781
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: of the lower bowl and we're servicing, however, many underprivileged

782
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 1: kids who will never ever get a chance to come

783
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,600
Speaker 1: to a game at the prices they're charging, food, drink,

784
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: it's all free, locker room visits, all of that stuff.

785
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 1: Now you're you want to talk about impacting people, and

786
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: you get to play the basketball games. So for me,

787
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: that means something. I get it. Guys would want to

788
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: play because it would be special. It would mean something

789
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: for kids who would never ever get to experience this.

790
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 2: In four minutes, you just came up with two ideas

791
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 2: that would have me already more interested in this tournament

792
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 2: than I've been at any point.

793
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:33,760
Speaker 1: Here's the problem.

794
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:37,360
Speaker 2: Do you believe anything like what you just said is

795
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 2: actually going to happen?

796
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 6: No, of course not now, but it should. I'm just saying,

797
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 6: shake Guil. Was it Shake Guil?

798
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 2: Just Alexander that was at the All Star Game last

799
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 2: year and he went for a coat and they asked

800
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,200
Speaker 2: him about the NBA N Season tournament and what would

801
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 2: what would fire you up for? And he said, you know, yeah,

802
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 2: like I mean, it'd be it'd be good if there

803
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: was something financial on the line.

804
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: And I was just like deflated. I'm just I'm deflated.

805
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 2: We're supposed to pay money to show up to watch

806
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: you millionaires earn more and play harder because there's another

807
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:27,040
Speaker 2: few bucks on the line. That's my concern with this

808
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 2: model that has come up.

809
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: And it just brought up Yeah, go ahead, and these

810
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: aren't extra games. These are games that would have been

811
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: part of the eighty two game season anyway.

812
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 2: Correct, correct, Well until until the like the you know

813
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 2: this the separate game is is like the championship game.

814
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 1: Right, so it'll be an extra it'll be one.

815
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: Off, right, and maybe even the like I think maybe

816
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 2: the semifinals too. I don't know because I'm still reading

817
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: grids right now.

818
00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm still I'm still I'm still reading my instruction manual.

819
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,840
Speaker 1: But it's something like that. Yes, yeah, this is not

820
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: on top of the eighty two games we're playing. This

821
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 1: is just a portion of those eighty two games placed

822
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: in a tournament style format in season. That's what I believe.

823
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 2: Timberwolves play the Nuggets in the NBA Cup semi finals

824
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: and on both sides of the arena are representatives of

825
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 2: the local homeless shelters in both cities, and they get

826
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:39,720
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars.

827
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: Yes, now I'm watching y look.

828
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 2: At the way that that that they broadcast the Olympics.

829
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: What happens with the Olympics?

830
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 2: They're on all day long, right, especially if it's all.

831
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: Right and what's happening all day?

832
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: Because sure you're looking at some recorded sporting events and

833
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 2: things like that, but largely, if Michael Phelps is about

834
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 2: to swim when we first first were introduced to Michael, we're.

835
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 1: Going to get like twenty minutes of.

836
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 2: Who Michael is, where Michael came from the struggles that Michael.

837
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: Had in his life.

838
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 2: If if we could do something like that, if, for instance,

839
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 2: Lebron James is playing for Teresa. Teresa runs the food

840
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 2: center where all the Lakers eat before and after the game.

841
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 2: And Teresa, I'm just making this up. Teresa's a single mom.

842
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 2: She's got two kids, and my goodness, it has been difficult.

843
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,680
Speaker 2: And she has had a village around her help take

844
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:47,360
Speaker 2: care of these kids as she comes down to Laker

845
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 2: games and follows the Lakers wherever they go in Los

846
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: Angeles to help make sure that people like Lebron and

847
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis are fed.

848
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: Well, if I got that story.

849
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 2: Before the game and then Lebron went by the way,

850
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: if we win, yeah, Theresa gets my.

851
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: Five hundred thousand. Yes, now I'm watching. Well, it's got

852
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: to be. It's gotta be about something more. Just tell

853
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: me a story. Just give us right. It's it's an

854
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: in game tournament. You know, you can make more money.

855
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand. Is great. You are professional athletes.

856
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 1: You should be compensated. We get that you are being compensated.

857
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean the first two days of a free agency,

858
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: one point five billion dollars in contracts was handed out,

859
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: So there is right, yes, so I would love to

860
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: see that aspect of it. What you said, what I

861
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 1: said to me now there now there is a payoff

862
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: now that there's just think if that, if that is

863
00:54:55,640 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: the format going forward, how many people you can give

864
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: an experience to or you can help. I mean that

865
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: to me is worth it. I love that aspect of it.

866
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: Outside of that.

867
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 2: Except yeah, except for I don't think that is an

868
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:19,760
Speaker 2: aspect of it. I think that's just in our brains.

869
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 2: So that's the problem.

870
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: Now.

871
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:25,320
Speaker 2: I promised to you what Steve Kerr said right before

872
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 2: he helped introduce the new NBA Cup rules, and I

873
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 2: think that his words tell the story. We'll play those

874
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,880

00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 2: Well they ask you to do when Chester Pitts and

898
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:56,840

899
00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,879
Speaker 2: to start and left tackle, we uh we the amazing race?

900
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 1: Oh right, right, yes, I knew this. It was such

901
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 1: like a big moment for not only San Diego State,

902
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: but for uh you know, the Texans. It's like, oh

903
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: my god, like we're on the national stage, not that

904
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: football isn't national, but this isn't a whole different market, right,

905
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 1: This is people who don't watch football, the very few

906
00:57:23,080 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: in this country. But it was, you know, they were

907
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: proud of us. So we got invited to this thing

908
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:38,960
Speaker 1: at the country club, river Oaks country Club, Okay, and

909
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: we pull in and I was like, oh, it's like

910
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 1: a time warp where the valet come over and everybody

911
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: got on white gloves and it's black people, and I'm like,

912
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: uh okay. So Chester's like, what do you see? What

913
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 1: was going on on them when we get in here?

914
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: So we go in and it's like a big like

915
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 1: a banquet event or whatever it is that the owners

916
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: haven't it weird? There's three black people in there that

917
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: are advited. The GM was Rick Smith at the time,

918
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:23,360
Speaker 1: Chester and myself. Everybody else black and it was working.

919
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,480
Speaker 1: And it's just something about the black skin with the

920
00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: white gloves and the white jackets just just throws me

921
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: all the way off right. I'm like feeling real get outish, right,

922
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: Like I'm like like I don't trust this place. I'm

923
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 1: like this don't seem right. But they wanted us there.

924
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,160

Speaker 1: super Bowl commercial. Such an air commercial. Yeah, it opened up

934
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: everything for it to market everything, and so they were

935
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: so proud of us, right because we were repping the

936
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and you know, it was like, get up

937

939
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: extent ranking. They're in there on that dump. But have

940
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: some dance moves that you can show up real if

941
00:59:54,680 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: you really felt like and I'm looking around the room,

942
00:59:57,240 --> 01:00:02,439
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this is crazy right now. So yeah,

943
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: I've done some things that I wouldn't normally do because

944
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: of work, outside of showing up work.

945
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 2: Would you like to hear Steve Kerr get forced to

946
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 2: do something by his work? Yes, yeah, take a listen

947
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 2: to Steve Kerr being forced to do something by his work.

948
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited. You know.

949
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 2: The playing tournament has been awesome.

950
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 7: You know we've been part of that as a team,

951
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 7: both being in the playing tournament and trying to avoid it,

952
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 7: and I think being creative with the regular season has

953
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 7: been really successful. I'm excited about this mid season tournament too.

954
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 7: I think it's going to add an element of energy

955
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 7: and excitement for the players and the coaches and the fans.

956
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,439
Speaker 5: So I think it's a great idea.

957
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I had a hard time believing, for some reason,

958
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 2: anything that Steve was saying to he's excited, which is

959
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 2: a catch all. I feel like when you're a celebrity

960
01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 2: being interviewed about something, Yeah, when you just say I'm excited,

961
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 2: I'm excited.

962
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: I'm so excited from from from one Steve to the next,

963
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: let's fill let's see how excited our Steve is about

964
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,840

Speaker 5: Yeah, as long as it doesn't feel real get out ish,

966
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 5: I think. Okay, I think I think.

967
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: That's exactly what the Warriors and Lakers are going to

968
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 2: be trying to do with this tournament.

969
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: They're going to trying to get out. Yeah. Well, Let's

970
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,360

Speaker 1: Right now.

976
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 5: This ain't Trinidad they're playing. Let's just say that much.

977
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 5: It's not the dreaded Saint Kits either that they faced

978
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 5: earlier in the tournament. Mexico already won its quarter final.

979
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 5: Last night, US women's soccer took its exhibition to nothing

980
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 5: over Whereat Wales. Today was Trinity Rodman saving the day

981
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 5: because first two thirds of the US women weren't doing much,

982
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,640
Speaker 5: but two late goals for Rodman in San Jose and

983
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 5: now the team leaves tonight for the Women's World Cup.

984
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 5: The US women this year are now eight and oh,

985
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 5: scoring nineteen goals allowing just one.

986
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, ladies had Wimbledon.

987
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 5: Number one Egos Fiontek advanced to the quarterfinals, saving two

988
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:21,120
Speaker 5: match points. Number four seed Jessica Pagoula of the US

989
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:23,840
Speaker 5: won easily and she won her doubles match with Cocoa.

990
01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 5: Golf Cameron Smith took the Live golf event in London.

991
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 5: He'll now try to defend his British Open titles, starting

992
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 5: in a week and a half. Smith held on to

993
01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,439
Speaker 5: win today by one stroke. This season, he has now

994
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 5: earned over nine and a half million dollars with live

995
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 5: golf so far.

996
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Wow, how much Deddy earned on the

997
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: on the on the PGA Tour.

998
01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:50,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, total, aside from the major. That's a good question.

999
01:02:51,360 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 1: That's a legitimate question, right, Like, that's a real thing.

1000
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 5: By comparison, the PGA stop was in Illinois today, John

1001
01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 5: Deere event which has been around for a while. Sepstraca,

1002
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 5: the winner, got about one point three million dollars. By comparison,

1003
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 5: every live golf winner gets four million for a three

1004
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 5: day tournament with no cut. And so you get Phil Mickelson,

1005
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 5: for example. There's no cut, it doesn't matter how bad

1006
01:03:15,400 --> 01:03:17,640
Speaker 5: you play on the weekend, and it's not full field.

1007
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 5: So out of forty eight golfers, Phil Mickelson tied for

1008
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,439
Speaker 5: fortieth place and earned over one hundred and thirty five

1009
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 5: thousand dollars.

1010
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: Easy work, that's light work. Wow.

1011
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 5: And then you had the US Women's Open, first ever

1012
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 5: held at Pebble Beach. Allison Corpus the winner, her first

1013
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,920
Speaker 5: victory on the tour. She won by three strokes. She

1014
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 5: claims a first prize of two million dollars, a record

1015
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 5: for a women's major. Corpoups is not only from Hawaii's

1016
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 5: from Michelle Wee's high school. And we have talked about

1017
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 5: Rose Zang from Stanford before on this show. She was

1018
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 5: a superstar as an amateur. In fact, now she's going

1019
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 5: to be playing all four women's majors is the plan

1020
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 5: this year. In college this season she won eight times

1021
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 5: in ten starts, breaking Tiger Woods Stanford record. Then she

1022
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 5: went pro and she won in her pro debut a

1023
01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 5: PGN LPGA event, and then in the previous major she

1024
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 5: finished top ten, tied for eighth, and here this weekend

1025
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 5: tied for ninth place, earning just over two hundred and

1026
01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 5: seventy five thousand dollars for the week. As for the

1027
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 5: MLB news, they're now an All Star break, no game tonight.

1028
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 5: San Francisco shutout, Colorado won nothing, Milwaukee shut out, The

1029
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 5: Reds won nothing. Red's their first place in the NL

1030
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 5: Central now a game ahead of the Brewers. LSU pitcher

1031
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 5: Paul Skens was drafted number one overall by the Pirates tonight,

1032
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 5: Pirates got a four to two victory at Arizona. Ten

1033
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 5: inning wins for Toronto and Saint Louis. And how about

1034
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 5: this sign of the Times. The LA Times sent this

1035
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 5: to its readership today. The printed sports section is entering

1036
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 5: a new era. It will take on the look and

1037
01:04:56,240 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 5: feel of a daily sports magazine. You will no longer

1038
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 5: box scores, You will no longer see the standings. You

1039
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,800

Speaker 5: Angeles Times sports section. If you want game results, go

1041

1042
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: Oh my god, to the internet.

1043
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:23,680
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, the New York Times Sports department just sent a

1044
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 5: letter to its own leadership of the newspaper there today

1045
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 5: asking for answers about the future of their sports section,

1046
01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 5: concern that it could be shut down in an ongoing

1047
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 5: effort to quote further integrate the athletic into the New

1048
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 5: York Times.

1049
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 2: Back to you, by the way, I got a text

1050
01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 2: about this early. I've got a ton of family, obviously

1051
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 2: in the southern California area, and I have a cousin

1052
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,960
Speaker 2: in his seventies and he is a massive baseball fan

1053
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 2: and still a traditional reader of newspapers in the traditional way,

1054
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 2: shall we say, and I mean.

1055
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 1: The letters in the word of it.

1056
01:06:00,400 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: We were capitalized on the text capitalized. And I'm sitting

1057
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: here reading this and obviously being involved in the industry,

1058
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I understand why he's mad. And I

1059
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 2: totally understand why they did it, because that's just not

1060
01:06:15,400 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 2: the way people are gathering box scores anymore. That's not

1061
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 2: the way we get our information. But then I read

1062
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 2: more about this, I guess the reason was because their

1063
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 2: deadlines need to be much earlier in the day because

1064
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 2: they just sold their printing press.

1065
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:31,919
Speaker 5: That's what I read.

1066
01:06:32,000 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, like why did you sell your printing press?

1067
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: What newspapers? Yeah, nobody's buying the newspapers because yes, first

1068
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,880
Speaker 1: of all, I would say that, get it. I get nostalgia.

1069
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I get every morning when I played in the NFL.

1070
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: I will stop at the store, I will get a

1071
01:06:56,440 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: coffee and I get the USA Today and then and

1072
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I would, you know, go in, I get treatment getting

1073
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 1: the cold about while I was reading the USA Today

1074
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: section bisection. Loved it. That was my thing for over

1075
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: a decade. I get it now, right, So just think

1076
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 1: if newspapers cease to exist in terms of not the information,

1077
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: the physical aspect of the paper. What would that do

1078
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 1: for our logging industry? Right? Would it stop the number

1079
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: of trees that needed to be cut down? So I'm

1080
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: I'm all for you, you know what I mean, I'm

1081
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 1: all for I don't know. Yeah, I hear you, But

1082
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if that even will make a dent,

1083
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Like I don't you know, because it's so we're still

1084
01:07:49,560 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: making books, still making magazines, We're still all of these

1085
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: other things that eventually will be transferred to digital. The

1086
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: whole world will be digital. And then that's when AI

1087
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 1: is gonna shut the world down and we'll all be screwed.

1088
01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, that's that's that's you know, that's later, all

1089
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: down the lots right later. That's I'm just all good.

1090
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 2: Maybe that's maybe that's how I can respond to my

1091
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:16,280
Speaker 2: cousin over text. Don't worry. We're all going to be

1092
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 2: dead very soon.

1093
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: It's you know, maybe not our generation, but they's coming.

1094
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 1: We can get the writings on the wall, all right.

1095
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 2: I mean, the need for the need for humans is dwindling.

1096
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: Well, I was having this conversation, not to get off

1097
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 1: on the tention, but I was having this conversation with

1098
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,640
Speaker 1: my wife, going, we're there, it's our show. We can

1099
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 1: do what we want. I was having this conversation with

1100
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 1: my wife about AI and the writers strike and why

1101
01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: we got that's not even option.

1102
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:48,440
Speaker 5: They're not referring to Alan Iverson.

1103
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 1: But exactly right, Artificial intelligence. Gosh, so I was saying,

1104
01:08:56,640 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: like everything in the world will be run by computers

1105
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: or a program, are right, So the smarter the AI gets,

1106
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: the more it will realize like imminent destruction. It's it's

1107
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:15,759
Speaker 1: it's coming.

1108
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 5: The irony is AI is going to be running the

1109
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 5: customer service number that you call to complain about Los

1110
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 5: Angeles Times.

1111
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.

1112
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,920
Speaker 2: So what AI is going to do to preserve life

1113
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 2: on Earth is to fix it.

1114
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: They're going to shut it down. Right, we've already had

1115
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: the last four days have been the hottest days ever

1116
01:09:40,400 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: recorded on Earth period on Earth.

1117
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,879
Speaker 2: So the last four days, every day it's been breaking

1118
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:59,080
Speaker 2: the record, right, although also the first four warm days

1119
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:01,960
Speaker 2: of the entire year in California at least if you

1120
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 2: talk to Californians, so I feel like it evens out.

1121
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:07,840
Speaker 1: We're on our way.

1122
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:12,520
Speaker 5: Well, it's Vegas. Next Sunday is supposed to be one seventeen.

1123
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 5: Just for the record, but the AI that the a

1124
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 5: conversation you're saying, essentially is going back to the movie

1125
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 5: two thousand and one. It's the it's the whole open

1126
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 5: the doors house open. Can't do that. That's what's about

1127
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:27,759
Speaker 5: to happen.

1128
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 2: What's the temperature going to be that that sphere thing's

1129
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 2: not going to explode? Is it? That would be a

1130
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 2: terrible It's only been around for like eight days. That

1131
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 2: thing looks crazy. By the way, has anybody been there

1132
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 2: and sent you a picture of this thing?

1133
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Even? No? No, no, oh my, I like in vain,

1134
01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 1: I don't even know. Yes, this what are they calling

1135
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: the thing?

1136
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:52,559
Speaker 5: The big Sphere? They built a mini one next to

1137
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 5: the Burbank Airport so that they can, I'm not kidding

1138
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 5: about this, have rehearsals inside the little Sphere and get

1139
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 5: on a plane and go to the Las Vegas Sphere,

1140
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 5: which I think they're going to have the NFL draft

1141
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 5: around their future some sort of events. Seriously, it's a

1142
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 5: it's the.

1143
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, it looks it looks ridiculous, It looks unbelievable.

1144
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,559
Speaker 2: I haven't fully understood yet the reason for it. So

1145
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 2: it's kind of like the NBA in season tournament.

1146
01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: I don't get it.

1147
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 5: And it's related because Madison Square Gardens, Oh, it's the

1148
01:11:27,560 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 5: sphere with all their concert venues. This is a concert venue.

1149
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: Like, we'll figure it out. It's in a repoint.

1150
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 2: But oh my gosh, yeah, I like, I just I

1151
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 2: think you got to make peace with all that stuff

1152
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 2: as you get older, like you just got to go, well,

1153
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,520
Speaker 2: you know, this is not for me to understand.

1154
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 5: The sphere is the whole thing, is the led. It's

1155
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 5: it's an entire It is a screen, if that makes

1156
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 5: any sense.

1157
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Inside, yes, and it looks fake.

1158
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,520
Speaker 2: It looks like an alien is about to take over Vegas.

1159
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: On the strip there's just cars driving around. But it's not.

1160
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:05,839
Speaker 2: It's just going to be used for advertisements, shows like whatever.

1161
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 1: It looks amazing.

1162
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 5: They had Welcome to the Summer League there in Vegas

1163
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 5: recently as a sphere at basketball shape.

1164
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: As a basketball right.

1165
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 2: It looked like a massive basketball was orbiting the earth,

1166
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 2: which is fun.

1167
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm into it. So anyway, all right, thank you Steve

1168
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: very much.

1169
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Mark Willer to e from Salaam, and speaking of things

1170
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 2: that we don't necessarily understand, I don't understand why another

1171
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 2: baseball team would try to acquire Shoheo Tani this month.

1172
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 2: I don't understand that at all, which I'll explain here

1173
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 2: and we'll get into it.

1174
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 1: Coming up next.

1175
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio E from Salaam and Mark

1176
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,320
Speaker 2: Weather to here with you this evening all across the

1177
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,040
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio platforms.

1178
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. So a friend of.

1179
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 2: Mine here in the Bay Area who covers things for

1180
01:12:57,640 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 2: the local sports outlet here that care is the.

1181
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,320
Speaker 1: Giants and Warriors games and whatnot.

1182
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,120
Speaker 2: He just tweeted something three hours ago and he wrote

1183
01:13:06,160 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, Carlos Fromiraz.

1184
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 1: By the way, if I left his name out.

1185
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 2: A couple of weeks ago, Angels held the third wild

1186
01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 2: card spot. Now there are five games out of that

1187
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 2: same spot.

1188
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,720
Speaker 1: If the Angels don't trade Otani and just let him

1189
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:23,759
Speaker 1: walk o MG.

1190
01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 2: I agree with the sentiment, but Ephraim, help me with this,

1191
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 2: and I'll just throw it to you before I give

1192
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 2: you anything.

1193
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I think about this.

1194
01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: Why would another team right now in July acquire show

1195
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: Heyo Tani.

1196
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:46,479
Speaker 1: The number one reason would be to get him to

1197
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:51,839
Speaker 1: get him right, to have him to get hey because

1198
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 1: if you don't do it.

1199
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,759
Speaker 2: Getting him and having him, I get it, those are different,

1200
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:56,520
Speaker 2: I understand.

1201
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: But you know a lot of people are under the

1202
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: lousion that once he gets here, will we winning, We

1203
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: make a run, we win the World Series? Right, you

1204
01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:13,720
Speaker 1: start thinking like that, are you wait? They lose him

1205
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: for nothing? Then he picks where he wants to go. Yeah,

1206
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:20,160
Speaker 1: that's the that's the only reason. That's the only way

1207
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 1: you can make it make sense. Gotta be got to

1208
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: be you have to be a contender.

1209
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 2: But this name has become so big, he has become

1210
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 2: such a big deal that the Los Angeles Angels of

1211
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 2: whatever you'd like to call them, they would not be

1212
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 2: allowed by their fan base to trade this man unless

1213
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 2: what they got in return was huge, because think of

1214
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 2: the pr of giving up on a guy.

1215
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: Who has already at least we are to be to believe.

1216
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 2: Behind closed doors, the insider thought is is that sho

1217
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,479
Speaker 2: Hay has got a flag in the sand. He wants

1218
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 2: to play on the West coast. Okay, if that's true,

1219
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 2: and you're eliminating New York, and you're eliminating Chicago and

1220
01:15:18,560 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 2: anything else, and it's just going to be an arms

1221
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,080
Speaker 2: race between the Padres, Dodgers, Angels, Giants, and maybe the Mariners,

1222
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 2: if that's what it is, are one of the teams

1223
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 2: the Vegas. You're hysterical. Anyway, can you imagine? Yeah, if

1224
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 2: the A's just offered someone six hundred million dollars and.

1225
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: You're like, you're gonna have built the stadium for that anyway?

1226
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 2: Anyway, anyway, point being, if that's what it's gonna be,

1227
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:57,519
Speaker 2: and you're already the incumbent, so in theory, you've got

1228
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 2: a chance to keep him. And if you just kick

1229
01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 2: him out of town because you're like, Nope, we're defeatist,

1230
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 2: We're not keeping him. We better get something for him,

1231
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 2: you'd have to get something great in return. And if

1232
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:14,719
Speaker 2: I'm any of these other teams, why on earth would

1233
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 2: I give up something great to get Shoho Tani under

1234
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 2: this ridiculous idea that, well, if he's here, we can

1235
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 2: convince him to stay. No, you can't. He's been there

1236
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:36,680
Speaker 2: for years, and in fact, he has been convinced apparently

1237
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 2: to not stay at least based on this idea we're discussing,

1238
01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 2: Like I just as a baseball fan, I'm done with

1239
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 2: my team giving up the farm for nine weeks of

1240
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 2: a baseball player.

1241
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't care who he is.

1242
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 2: And how embarrassing would it be if you did that

1243
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 2: and then he left and went somewhere else.

1244
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:05,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be embarrassing. But what if you won the

1245
01:17:05,640 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 1: World Series with them?

1246
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 2: Then you, sir, would feel better. I get it, I

1247
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:21,880
Speaker 2: get it. But the point, like, how many teams you know?

1248
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 2: How baseball is like it's so quirky, you know you

1249
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 2: the last major deadline like huge swing that I can remember,

1250
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 2: the Dodgers gave up their top prospect and I think

1251
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 2: someone else in their top five to get Max Scherzer

1252
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 2: and Trey Turner, two great players, and one of them

1253
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:49,639
Speaker 2: they had control for two years, and they went all

1254
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 2: in and they won one hundred and six baseball games.

1255
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:57,719
Speaker 2: They did they did not win the World Series.

1256
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:00,679
Speaker 1: It's so quirky.

1257
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:04,280
Speaker 2: So in other words, one player is not going to

1258
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:07,839
Speaker 2: guarantee you a series, and the lack of one player

1259
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 2: does not guarantee that you won't. I just I don't

1260
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 2: want show Hey unless it means that he's filling the

1261
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:20,400
Speaker 2: building every night for years to come. Nine weeks of

1262
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 2: Show Hey, yikes, good night.

1263
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to give up everything for it. The

1264
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:30,400
Speaker 1: greatest turf.

1265
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, for nine weeks, Like how your average fan base

1266
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,559
Speaker 2: is gonna go to what two games? If you're a

1267
01:18:41,600 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 2: big fan during that time, you go see him twice.

1268
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 2: I guess my point. I don't think that getting him

1269
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 2: now gives you one damn bit of advantage next offseason.

1270
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 1: I got you. I get that, you know what I mean? Yeah,

1271
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:04,799
Speaker 1: I get don't you think?

1272
01:19:05,280 --> 01:19:08,799
Speaker 2: I think people put too much into that, Like players

1273
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:14,280
Speaker 2: don't get whimsical and loyal. He gonna go for the

1274
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 2: best dollar and the best spot no matter what.

1275
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:30,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, best spot being specific standard time, right right right?

1276
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you predicted a short time ago

1277
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 2: that the Dodgers would get him. Yeah, so of course

1278
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 2: once you give up your top three prospects to get

1279
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 2: him now, to me, that seems like a bad bet.

1280
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 2: We can get into that a little bit more. Plus

1281
01:19:48,640 --> 01:19:50,800

Speaker 2: Okay, yes, starting, We're starting to get it together a

1298
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:47,719
Speaker 2: little bit.

1299
01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:54,519

01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,040

1301
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:01,479

1302
01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:06,759
Speaker 2: you get it well. The way that the soccer process works,

1303
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 2: what they're playing for, how they build toward World Cup qualifying,

1304
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:17,559
Speaker 2: all of that is sort of what feels like the

1305
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,840
Speaker 2: NBA In Season tournament as well in terms of explaining

1306
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:23,840
Speaker 2: how the whole thing works. Six years to learn how

1307
01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 2: this works.

1308
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:32,599
Speaker 1: This is this is how you easily explain it. Win them,

1309
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 1: win that's it. Yeah, that helps guess what you don't

1310
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: have to worry about after that, placing any of that,

1311
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:46,519
Speaker 1: win them, you win the Gold Cup. We can talk

1312
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: about anything else. After that, so you know, shout out

1313
01:21:51,760 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: to them. Still a lot of time left, factually in

1314
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 1: the eighty ninth minute, so not that much time left.

1315
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,880
Speaker 1: But it's been you know, Canada's We've had the back

1316
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:06,240
Speaker 1: and forth with Canada. Canada is a tremendous team, and

1317
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,519
Speaker 1: no doubt we just scored in the eighty eight minute.

1318
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:14,720
Speaker 1: And I'm excited right as you're doing the intro right in.

1319
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.

1320
01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're as excited as Steve Kerr

1321
01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 2: was to announce the the nd season tournament.

1322
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: But before we move on from show, hey, I wanted

1323
01:22:26,920 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: to ask you this.

Speaker 2: And I know you declared last week you're a Dodger fan,

1325
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 2: and I'm not expecting you to know anybody who's on

1326
01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 2: their top one hundred prospects list.

1327
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: But I pulled up all the names in front of me.

1328
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 2: I have their top thirty prospects on a list in

1329
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 2: front of me right now. How many of them are

1330
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 2: you giving up for show? Hey, O Tani here in

1335
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 2: to bet the farm?

01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:05,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? What four if that is is for a farm?

1337
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: They both started with F. They're all yeah, they're all yes, Yes,

01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 1: first four off, put them in the package, Send them

1347
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: on their way, Send the U haul and a limousine

1348
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: bus down to Anaheim. I mean it's a fireable offense.

1349
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 1: Not because you know you can sign. You know he

1350
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:45,600
Speaker 1: wants to stay on the West coast, and you know

1351
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to keep them. No, you don't.

1352
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:51,839
Speaker 1: You know you're going to be able to keep them. Oh,

1353
01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: not going, you're not walking? If he if he said

1354
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:58,080
Speaker 1: he wants to stay on the West coast, yes, right,

1355
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 1: he's made ties here in Los Angeles. This is his

1356
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: second home. He hasn't made ties you, No, you don't

1357
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: know that. You don't know that if he's been to

1358
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: Los Angeles.

1359
01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 2: You don't know that come on, it takes four hours

1360
01:24:13,240 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 2: to get there from Anaheim to tell me that he's

1361
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 2: made ties in Los Angeles.

1362
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:21,600
Speaker 1: What what what I would say is he wants to

1363
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: be here. You have the second most recognizable brand in

1364
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 1: the sport.

1365
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna make it happen. Mmm, fireball offense. If

1366
01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:37,840
Speaker 2: he ends up on the San Francisco Giants, He's not

1367
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 2: going up there. He just picked the Giants out of

1368
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 2: the hat. You don't you're just saying go up there.

1369
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 2: Don't know that in La for the Bay brother, he

1370
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 2: not in l A stop already morenoing this conversation.

1371
01:24:56,400 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: He had a handball come on in the ninety second

1372
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: minute with penalty kicks from a handball Canada stepping up.

1373
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the play by play. I know you are.

1374
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 2: I'm having flashbacks to when we were doing this during

1375
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 2: the actual World Cup and I get like sitting there

1376
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 2: and I'm like, so this is what I think about

1377
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles, And you'd be like, my, here's the approach,

1378
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 2: even about him Bape or siet quiet quite, here's the approach. Okay, ah,

1379
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:32,360
Speaker 2: you got it in come on, of course he did.

1380
01:25:33,160 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 2: Come on, man, that professional were literally six minutes away

1381
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 2: from a victory.

1382
01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 1: So now we're going to extra time? No, we got

1383
01:25:45,320 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 1: we still have three minutes left? Okay, well right, but

1384
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 1: most likely it's the extra time, then extra time, then

1385
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:53,200
Speaker 1: the second extra time.

1386
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:59,080
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, God that's heartbreaking. I know it's frustrating,

1387
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:06,479
Speaker 2: isn't it. Come on, well, come on, man, for real,

1388
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 2: for real, I'm trying. I'm trying to figure this out

1389
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 2: why any major League Baseball team would do this. And

1390
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,040
Speaker 2: I also know that while I say it, it's kind

1391
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,839
Speaker 2: of a minority opinion because fans.

1392
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: Fans want what's in front of them right now, right now,

1393
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 1: right now.

1394
01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:30,920
Speaker 2: And I just like, do you do you understand how

1395
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 2: often that that's bad business?

1396
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,120
Speaker 1: And you can fire.

1397
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,720
Speaker 2: Back, Yeah, you can fire back at me all you

1398
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 2: want and be like, look, the majority of prospects don't

1399
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,360
Speaker 2: make it right, I don't care.

1400
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: It's still bad.

1401
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 2: Business, even if you just want to use those assets

1402
01:26:48,160 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 2: for something else. I think baseball teams have largely gotten smart, Like,

1403
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 2: for instance, go back to that Dodger deal we already

1404
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 2: referenced with Max Schurzer and Trey Turner. Why do you

1405
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 2: think that Washington had to throw Trey Turner in before

1406
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 2: he was even a free agent, because they wanted the Dodgers'

1407
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 2: top prospects, and the Dodgers were like, we're not giving

1408
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 2: you that for for nine weeks of Max Schuerzer like, yeah,

1409
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:15,559
Speaker 2: we want to win a World Series, but we're not

1410
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 2: doing that. That would be stupid. You don't put all

1411
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 2: your eggs into one basket.

1412
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 1: Stupid is what stupid does. Yes, it is. We want

1413
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 1: to show I think.

1414
01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but but nine weeks or ten years?

1415
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: How come he can't be nine weeks and ten years.

1416
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. If you're the Dodgers giants Padres,

1417
01:27:50,439 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 2: don't you call Sho Hayes representatives. Now, look, if you're

1418
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,639
Speaker 2: interested in being on this team, wouldn't you rather our

1419
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 2: top prospects are still on it so that they can

1420
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 2: help you over the next ten years. Mister never been

1421
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 2: to the playoffs?

1422
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: Well, it's one thing for sure if he comes to

1423
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, you know, going to the playoffs. Look at you,

1424
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know it, I know it. They

1425
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 1: usually go to the playoffs, Yeah do so? No, usually

1426
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: they don't usually win it.

1427
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's we're completely besides that World series would well,

1428
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 2: they were years ago. Yeah, they want that. They went

1429
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 2: here we go, here we go. Sound like a lot

1430
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 2: of hate. They wont that hate hate hate hate. They

1431
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 2: won that little Sunday clam Bay hate they did back

1432
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty.

1433
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 1: Hate hate.

1434
01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, man, you know, one hundred and sixty

1435
01:28:51,479 --> 01:28:52,639
Speaker 2: two games is a lot.

1436
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 1: Anything can happen when you actually play the whole year. Yeah,

1437
01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,479
Speaker 1: that's a lot. That's a lot of game. That's too

1438
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 1: many games. It might be. But one thing I do

1439
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:09,080
Speaker 1: know is during the pandemic, that was not enough games. Yes,

1440
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 1: it was. That was not enough. Sixty games was not enough.

1441
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 2: Well, starters are supposed to be tired when they get

1442
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:22,519
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, man, Yeah, starters are supposed to be

1443
01:29:22,560 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 2: tired when they get to the playoffs in baseball.

1444
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:34,560
Speaker 1: Baseball? Really, yes, really, yes, you're gonna be tired in baseball. Yes. Bruh, bruh.

1445
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,000
Speaker 2: You know what it's like to throw two hundred innings

1446
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 2: in Major League Baseball.

1447
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about pictures? Are you talking about everybody? Everybody else?

1448
01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:45,919
Speaker 1: Just pictures? It's a grind.

1449
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 2: Man.

1450
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: Don't don't be a football list. I'm not talking about

01:29:48,800 --> 01:29:53,400
Speaker 1: football list. Don't do that. Not doing that. But is

1452
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 1: it though? Let me ask you this how tiring? Listen?

1453
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:03,880
Speaker 1: Hold on, how t can it possibly be? When it's

1454
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:07,920
Speaker 1: the only sport where you can play two games in

1455
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:15,720
Speaker 1: a day. That's not trump what basketball could do it?

1456
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 2: No shots, you two NBA guys in a day, you

1457
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:20,000

01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Bro, Hey man, don't be like that just to prove

1459

Speaker 1: a point. Okay, wait a minute, Wait a minute. So

1460
01:30:27,080 --> 01:30:30,640
Speaker 1: you get NBA guys, we got low management happening on

1461
01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:34,000
Speaker 1: back to back games different days. And and you mean

1462
01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:39,000
Speaker 1: to tell me these very same NBA teams can play

1463
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:41,040
Speaker 1: a doubleheader in a day in one day?

1464
01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:44,040
Speaker 2: No, So, my man, back when you had legs, you

1466
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:48,639
Speaker 2: I know, we just won.

1467
01:30:48,720 --> 01:30:50,519
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the wreck. You can go

1468
01:30:50,520 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 1: to the twenty four fitness and play all day long.

1469
01:30:54,320 --> 01:30:58,680
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about at a high level, you're

1470
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,200
Speaker 1: talking about at a high level baseball. You can back

1471
01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:03,599
Speaker 1: to back that thing. The only people in not playing

1472
01:31:03,600 --> 01:31:07,960
Speaker 1: back the back of the pictures everybody else they're not exhausted,

1473
01:31:08,760 --> 01:31:10,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can run it back.

1474
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 2: You ever play thirty six holes in a day, that's awful.

1475
01:31:15,320 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 2: You said, there's only one sport that can play twice.

1476
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but you could do it. Yeah, but you

01:31:23,960 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 1: that sometimes when there's a Right now, we're really gonna

1479
01:31:26,560 --> 01:31:28,240
Speaker 1: throw golf in there like that. But okay, I guess,

1480
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:30,120

01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,599
Speaker 1: How long is it between games? You know this? How

1487
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,719
Speaker 1: long is like if you have a double header?

1488
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:57,520
Speaker 2: How long is it between the way they use the schedule,

1489
01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 2: it depends on if it's a day night double header, right,

1490

Speaker 2: and if it's an actual schedule doubleheader, we're like, you know,

1497
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,240
Speaker 2: That turns the lineup up now, yes it is, that's

1498
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:25,920

1514
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 2: still one one I know, I know. Let me ask

1515
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:29,639
Speaker 2: you this because I don't even know if right now

1516
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,719
Speaker 2: this is an easy answer. I know who the show

1517
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:37,640
Speaker 2: Halo Tani of the NFL. Is it's Patrick Mahomes.

1518
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 1: Of course, who's the show hal Otani of the NBA

1519
01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:45,719
Speaker 1: right now? Uh Nicola Jokic. Is it that easy?

1520
01:33:46,479 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, And I'll explain. I I'll explain. It didn't

1521
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,320
Speaker 2: even it didn't even win the m v P.

1522
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 1: That's not his fault. No, that may have been a mistake,

1523
01:33:58,600 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: but it's not a fault. But he's won the last

1524
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: two so he was, in my opinion, should have won

1525
01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 1: three in a row, which puts him in rarefied air.

1526
01:34:09,760 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: But his skill set and his abilities and he literally

1527
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: just led him himself personally, just led a team that

1528
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:21,520
Speaker 1: had never won an NBA championship to win an NBA championship.

1529
01:34:23,840 --> 01:34:29,640
Speaker 1: So when you talk about having that singular impact on

1530
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:39,240
Speaker 1: a team and being that much better than anybody else,

1531
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:45,120
Speaker 1: then you get to where that aten when show Hayes

1532
01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:46,880
Speaker 1: out there, there is no core. I mean, he is,

1533
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:51,559
Speaker 1: he's that. He's the man. He's rivaling history right now.

1534
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:58,320
Speaker 1: He's him. He is him. So when I look at

1535
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and what its abilities on the football field,

1536
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:08,720
Speaker 1: I see that even more so than I saw with Brady.

1537
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:11,680
Speaker 2: I agree with you, I agree with you, which is

1538
01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 2: actually part of the point I was trying to make

1539
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 2: about about not acquiring O'tani when he's about to be

1540
01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 2: a free agent, because what you were talking about.

1541
01:35:18,479 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 1: Is, you know, you got to go for it, you

1542
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:21,000
Speaker 1: got to go for a World Series.

1543
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:24,519
Speaker 2: Well, if I've got my homes on my football team,

1544
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,720
Speaker 2: I'm and he's healthy. Now this is assuming health for everybody.

1545
01:35:29,200 --> 01:35:31,439
Speaker 2: If I've got my homes on my football team, I

1546
01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:35,240
Speaker 2: pretty much guaranteed what at least the final eight. Yes,

1547
01:35:35,280 --> 01:35:37,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't you say that will get he will get you

1548
01:35:37,439 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 2: to the final eight. If I if I've got Yo Kitsch,

1549
01:35:41,800 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 2: that will guarantee you what he's gonna get final.

1550
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 1: Get the final two, the final four, I would say

1551
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:51,840
Speaker 1: final four. I'll say final four. He'll get you to

1552
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:54,040
Speaker 1: the Western Conference finals.

1553
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:57,519
Speaker 2: If I've got Otani, I'm not even guaranteed to make

1554
01:35:57,560 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1555
01:35:58,360 --> 01:36:03,000
Speaker 1: In fact, ever has right.

1556
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 2: So the best player in the given sport is less

1557
01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:12,520
Speaker 2: important in baseball than in any other sport we talk about.

1558
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:18,960
Speaker 1: So that's the right because he only give you maybe

1559
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:23,479
Speaker 1: not even a full game once every what five days?

1560
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:26,400
Speaker 2: Well, right, except for this guy obviously is the best

1561
01:36:26,400 --> 01:36:27,439
Speaker 2: home run hitter in the game.

1562
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 1: So there's the difference.

1563
01:36:31,760 --> 01:36:34,439
Speaker 2: However, that that means he comes to the plate four

1564
01:36:34,439 --> 01:36:35,080
Speaker 2: times a night.

1565
01:36:35,560 --> 01:36:39,799
Speaker 1: That's it. Mahomes every possession, Yo kitchen, every possession.

1566
01:36:42,680 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 4: I know.

1567
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:47,120
Speaker 2: But again I'm making my point why I wouldn't acquire

1568
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,479
Speaker 2: sho Heyo Tani for a truckload of prospects right now,

1569
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:54,400
Speaker 2: Like if this were basketball and I was getting Yo kitchen.

1570
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:59,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're talking. You're talking about the best player

1571
01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 1: on the planet in any particular sport, right correct, this

1572
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:09,679
Speaker 1: is what is He is the best player on planet

1573
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 1: Earth that we know of in baseball, right and you

1574
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:19,559
Speaker 1: wouldn't give up four prospects for him. Bruh you tripping.

1575
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 1: That's crazy. That that's a that.

1576
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:28,240
Speaker 2: That is completely that's an erroneous statement, you see like this,

1577
01:37:28,880 --> 01:37:33,400
Speaker 2: Yes I do, and I'm not letting that one by.

1578
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:34,799
Speaker 1: I am jacked.

1579
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:37,759
Speaker 2: I would not give up my top prospects for nine

1580
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:38,759
Speaker 2: weeks of.

1581
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:42,080
Speaker 1: Him, Okay, okay, all right, yeah yeah.

1582
01:37:42,360 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 2: If show Hey like had nine more years on his deal,

1583
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:51,400
Speaker 2: you could have the whole farm system, you have our jerseys,

1584
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 2: you could have the stadium were playing, you could have

1585
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:56,679
Speaker 2: all the managers at every level.

1586
01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:58,679
Speaker 1: I don't need anything.

1587
01:37:58,920 --> 01:38:04,760
Speaker 2: Take it all but for nine weeks with Again, as

1588
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:08,439
Speaker 2: I said, the Angels, for pr reasons would need they

1589
01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:11,400
Speaker 2: would need to get something really great in return to

1590
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:12,040
Speaker 2: even do this.

1591
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'll see you.

1592
01:38:15,360 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 2: I'll see you over the holidays when I call your

1593
01:38:17,520 --> 01:38:19,680
Speaker 2: agent to offer you six hundred million.

1594
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:24,439
Speaker 1: Dollars, and again, I'd call him right now and tell.

1595
01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 2: Him the reason we're not acquiring you is because we

1596
01:38:28,280 --> 01:38:32,680
Speaker 2: want you in November, and we would like you to

1597
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:36,439
Speaker 2: have all of our top prospects still on the team

1598
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 2: to be potential teammates for you in the years to come.

1599
01:38:40,439 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. This is it? Is

1600
01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:49,560
Speaker 1: it ten year, six hundred million or something, twelve years?

1601
01:38:50,560 --> 01:38:52,760
Speaker 2: Whatever he wants. I don't know what he wants, you know,

1602
01:38:53,320 --> 01:38:56,439
Speaker 2: don't I don't know how many years he wants. He's

1603
01:38:56,439 --> 01:38:57,920
Speaker 2: what is he's about to be twenty nine?

1604
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yeah? So I mean you take twelve

1605
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:08,280
Speaker 1: at least, right, twelve gets to seven hundred million whatever?

1606
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean? Whatever? Right? Because ten, I'm like, at ten

1607
01:39:13,600 --> 01:39:19,720
Speaker 1: at six hundred million, that's right, I'm like, we could

1608
01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 1: do better than that, can we? Guys? Lock me in,

1609
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: Lock me in for a Baker's dozen at seven fifty

1610
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:28,080
Speaker 1: he's a.

1611
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:30,759
Speaker 2: Different player every year, the guy he is right now,

1612
01:39:30,840 --> 01:39:34,879
Speaker 2: it stands to reason that that that the picture portion

1613
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:39,920
Speaker 2: of the show is a lesser version of himself, probably

1614
01:39:39,960 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 2: what at least seven years from him.

1615
01:39:41,439 --> 01:39:45,120
Speaker 1: But then he's a closer. Maybe that's so you can

1616
01:39:45,200 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 1: still use those services, but you can always use his bat. Yep,

1617
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 1: you feel me, So that number starts to make sense.

1618
01:39:54,720 --> 01:40:00,400
Speaker 1: Even as he ages out of being an ace, he

1619
01:40:00,479 --> 01:40:04,040
Speaker 1: becomes a dynamic closer, which you know in the playoffs. Brother,

1620
01:40:05,160 --> 01:40:05,800
Speaker 1: it's a big deal.

1621
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:09,879
Speaker 2: Man, Hey man, no, you you could, you could convince

1622
01:40:09,920 --> 01:40:14,920
Speaker 2: me of anything financially come this offseason, but not right now.

1623
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,479
Speaker 2: I just I just don't think you could convince me

1624
01:40:17,520 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 2: of anything in terms of a trade this month. I

1625
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,559
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, I don't. I don't even understand the

1626
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:30,919
Speaker 2: concept of why. Like literally, in my opinion, you're lessening

1627
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,120
Speaker 2: your chances of keeping him by trading for him now,

1628
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 2: not the other way around. I don't think Shohy wants

1629
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 2: to join a team with a gutted farm system.

1630
01:40:42,880 --> 01:40:49,479
Speaker 1: Why would he do that? I I understand, I understand you. Yeah,

1631
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Are you watching the baseball draft?

1632
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,679
Speaker 2: I'll be watching everything today. Can I ask you right now,

1633
01:40:57,760 --> 01:40:58,559
Speaker 2: ask me a question.

1634
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:03,519
Speaker 1: So the baseball draft, how many rounds is it? One

1635
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:07,759
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen? Hey? Man?

1636
01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, man, I know it's fewer than it

1637
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:12,920
Speaker 2: used to be.

1638
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:13,960
Speaker 1: Is actually?

1639
01:41:14,479 --> 01:41:16,960
Speaker 2: And minute changed in the pandemic One year they did

1640
01:41:17,000 --> 01:41:21,080
Speaker 2: like a five round draft. They did, so, I honestly,

1641
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:22,960
Speaker 2: at the top of my head, I don't know.

1642
01:41:23,280 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: So basically, I bet Steve will know. Steve will know,

1643
01:41:26,040 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 1: We'll get out of Steve in thirty seconds. So basically

1644
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:34,559
Speaker 1: you're just drafting for your farm league, right, like for

1645
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:40,040
Speaker 1: your triple double single a team. Correct, all right, Steve,

1646
01:41:40,240 --> 01:41:41,880
Speaker 1: give us give us some insight on that.

1647
01:41:42,040 --> 01:41:43,520
Speaker 5: Three days, twenty rounds.

1648
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:48,360
Speaker 2: Three ago, three days, twenty round It used to be fifty. Like,

1649
01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 2: what might Piazza like a forty eighth round pick or something?

1650
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:53,200
Speaker 5: I think I was in the sixties, just as a favor.

1651
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 1: There you go, it was a favor. How do you

1652
01:41:56,880 --> 01:42:01,080
Speaker 1: navigate that as a young prospect? Like? How well, I

1653
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:02,200
Speaker 1: guess most of them don't.

1654
01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:04,839
Speaker 5: Sixty second round for Mike Piazza.

1655
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 1: This is crazy.

1656
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:10,799
Speaker 5: What do you get Tom Brady being chosen one ninety

1657
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 5: nine Mike Piazza was chosen one thousand and three nineties,

1658
01:42:15,160 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 5: in the nineteen eighty eight crazy and he's in the

1659
01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 5: Hall of Fame.

1660
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:21,880
Speaker 1: But why is it crazy? Where?

1661
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 2: Mean, where did these people go in two years? One

1662
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:29,160
Speaker 2: of these kids could be Ellie de la Cruz.

1663
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,400
Speaker 1: And Mike over What did you just say? State?

1664
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:33,040
Speaker 2: What? Right?

1665
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 5: It's not a thousand anymore? It's only twenty rounds there

1666
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:36,880
Speaker 5: you go.

1667
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: So one out of how many picks?

1668
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:44,800
Speaker 5: Hundreds? Let's say that.

1669
01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:47,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's wrong with that?

1670
01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:47,240
Speaker 2: Like?

1671
01:42:47,320 --> 01:42:49,719
Speaker 1: How many? What's seven times thirty?

1672
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:53,439
Speaker 2: Now it's over too rock Party was was over two

1673
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 2: hundred picks in and look at him now.

1674
01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. But the problem is in his rookie year he

1675
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: became a sensation from he was on the team. He

1676
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: wasn't in Europe. Are in Mexico playing on the four team.

1677
01:43:14,080 --> 01:43:16,559
Speaker 5: And the difference with La Day la Cruz that you

1678
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:19,280
Speaker 5: bring up he's not subject to the Major League draft.

1679
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:23,559
Speaker 5: He's Dominican right, completely separate international international side.

1680
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: So how many rounds in that draft?

1681
01:43:27,080 --> 01:43:27,639
Speaker 5: No draft?

1682
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 1: Oh, go draft at all.

1683
01:43:32,560 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 5: That's why when the Cubans defect is they don't defect

1684
01:43:35,479 --> 01:43:38,640
Speaker 5: to the US. They do like Yasio Pleague. They go

1685
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 5: on Mexican so or Randy or Rose Arena, and then

1686
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:44,400
Speaker 5: they're not subject to the draft, which means big money instantly.

1687
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:48,760
Speaker 1: Man, this is crazy. So I'm just watching it and

1688
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: watching these kids. Just the second round is the fortieth

1689
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:57,240
Speaker 1: pig third baseman Johandi Morales to the Nationals, and I'm thinking,

1690
01:43:57,280 --> 01:44:01,559
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well does this mean what does this mean?

1691
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:03,920
Speaker 1: Does he go to the Bigs right now? Or does

1692
01:44:03,960 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 1: he have to go? Oh oh no, Like, where's he

1693
01:44:07,040 --> 01:44:09,719
Speaker 1: going right now? Like he just got used it, He's excited.

1694
01:44:09,960 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 1: Where's he going right now?

1695
01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:14,720
Speaker 2: Probably to a short season minor league team. I used

1696
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:18,360
Speaker 2: to broadcast, actually in the Angels organization in the for

1697
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:22,519
Speaker 2: the Boise Hawks, which was called short season single A

1698
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:27,439
Speaker 2: and the season would start in June, which that's when

1699
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:30,719
Speaker 2: the baseball Draft used to be, and and players would

1700
01:44:30,720 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 2: report immediately from the draft to a season that would

1701
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:34,759
Speaker 2: start in the middle of the summer.

1702
01:44:34,840 --> 01:44:37,719
Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't asking you, don't you hear Steve's music playing?

1703
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:38,040
Speaker 3: No?

1704
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:38,600
Speaker 1: Are you that you?

1705
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:42,439
Speaker 5: He's crashing? You advanced to Rancho Cuckamonga and then have

1706
01:44:42,479 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 5: to double a a Las Vegas And just.

1707
01:44:45,400 --> 01:44:48,760
Speaker 2: Now He's right, everybody has to go to Rancho Cucamonga.

1708
01:44:48,840 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 1: You're not allowed in the biggs until you've been there.

1709
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:51,760
Speaker 1: That's the true fact.

1710
01:44:51,800 --> 01:44:53,720
Speaker 5: And then you get injured in the big leagues and

1711
01:44:53,760 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 5: you do a rehab stant Rancho Cuckamonga. That's how it works.

1712
01:44:57,680 --> 01:45:00,360
Speaker 5: I George randomly looked at the MLB draft for five

1713
01:45:00,439 --> 01:45:03,120
Speaker 5: years ago to see if people had made their way

1714
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:06,479
Speaker 5: through the miners, and certainly people like Philly's infielder Alec

1715
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 5: Bohm was a top ten pick that year. Jared Kelnick

1716
01:45:09,479 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 5: Jonathan India, the reds kyler Murray was drafted top ten

1717
01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:14,760
Speaker 5: five years ago just for I don't know how he's

1718
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:15,479
Speaker 5: doing in baseball.

1719
01:45:16,560 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 1: I have no ipea to be doing better in baseball football.

1720
01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:21,760
Speaker 5: I'll say you that I did notice by the way

1721
01:45:21,800 --> 01:45:26,720
Speaker 5: the commissioner in announcing the picks, A was booed robustly

1722
01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:30,439
Speaker 5: in Seattle, where they're holding the draft. B. When it

1723
01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:33,479
Speaker 5: came to Houston selection, there was so much booing you

1724
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:39,479
Speaker 5: almost couldn't hear Houston selection. Also, when the commissioner announced

1725
01:45:39,560 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 5: the top ten pick for the Oakland A's shortstop Jacob

1726
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:46,639
Speaker 5: Wilson from Grand Canyon University, he referred to it as

1727
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:50,639
Speaker 5: Grand Union, which there is no such school. But that's okay.

1728
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:53,439
Speaker 5: He's only a top ten selection in your draft. Maybe

1729
01:45:53,520 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 5: you could get the name correct.

1730
01:45:55,560 --> 01:45:57,680
Speaker 2: Wow, there's no such thing as the Oakland A's EI.

1731
01:45:57,680 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 2: They're so all good?

1732
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:01,960
Speaker 1: Is it? Fake? From a fake university that went to

1733
01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:03,000
Speaker 1: Faith Fake?

1734
01:46:03,320 --> 01:46:05,920
Speaker 5: They're actually moving closer to Grant Canyon come to think

1735
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 5: of it. And Stanford short step to the Diamondbacks in

1736
01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 5: the first round. Tommy Troy amazingly did not play for

1737
01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:18,639
Speaker 5: the Men of Troy Stanford not USC and then Maryland

1738
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:20,800
Speaker 5: shortstop Matt show I went to the Cubs in the

1739
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,840
Speaker 5: first round, and Old miss shortstop Jacob Gonzalez to the

1740
01:46:23,880 --> 01:46:24,400
Speaker 5: White Size.

1741
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:27,160
Speaker 1: So do any of the first round any of the

1742
01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: top ten picks go directly to to the bigs or

1743
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:33,720
Speaker 1: they go right to the minors.

1744
01:46:33,560 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 5: That's rubbish I can think of like Bob Horner from

1745
01:46:36,360 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 5: Arizona State wound up Braves Rookie of the Year. It's

1746
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:40,160
Speaker 5: really really rare.

1747
01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not doing that. Maybe gonna do something else.

1748
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play something else. I can't do it. Sorry,

1749
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:50,880
Speaker 1: what's the money? Like, whoa, it's millions? Yeah, they get

1750
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:52,280
Speaker 1: paid high first round sure?

1751
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,960
Speaker 2: Well yeah, all in the form of a bonus what

1752
01:46:56,040 --> 01:46:58,719
Speaker 2: they get paid on a game on monthly basis.

1753
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 1: In the miners, it was like a bucket of cashews. Right, Oh,

1754
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 1: not much. Yeah, so you'll get much a five million

1755
01:47:05,800 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 1: dollar bone, but you get it oh or more? Yes,

1756
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:12,360
Speaker 1: because Kyler Murray was a four and a half million

1757
01:47:12,520 --> 01:47:14,639
Speaker 1: when they drafted him, right.

1758
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 2: Correct, and he gave it back, that's right. And he

1759
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,040
Speaker 2: was what the seventh pick in the draft something like that.

1760
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, but what do you get in the

1761
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:29,040
Speaker 1: third round? I mean, I mean, good lord, what are

1762
01:47:29,080 --> 01:47:33,479
Speaker 1: you getting the fortieth round? Hey, how you done? Gas

1763
01:47:33,520 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: card and a set lunch?

1764
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:37,639
Speaker 5: No such thing, that's right, it's only twenty well twenty.

1765
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:40,200
Speaker 1: What do you get in the twentieth round? Like, what's

1766
01:47:40,240 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 1: the salary in the twentieth round? No idea?

1767
01:47:43,200 --> 01:47:48,680
Speaker 2: They get a gift card right, free, free room in

1768
01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 2: the back of the house of some weird family and

1769
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:54,040
Speaker 2: who knows where USA that's willing to take in minor

1770
01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:54,839
Speaker 2: league players.

1771
01:47:55,240 --> 01:47:58,639
Speaker 5: The LSU. I'm kidding, And I'm not the LSU star

1772
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:01,560
Speaker 5: pitcher who just won the College World Series and was

1773
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:04,120
Speaker 5: named MVP of the College World Series and which just

1774
01:48:04,200 --> 01:48:07,479
Speaker 5: drafted number one overall by the way pitcher Paul Skeins

1775
01:48:08,240 --> 01:48:11,559
Speaker 5: is looking at like nine million dollars because that's the

1776
01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:14,760
Speaker 5: roughly the value for that slot in the first round

1777
01:48:14,800 --> 01:48:17,440
Speaker 5: of this year's MLB draft. You got to actually negotiate

1778
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:18,960
Speaker 5: your own bonus, but it's going to be.

1779
01:48:18,880 --> 01:48:21,920
Speaker 1: Somewhere around It seems a bit low, right, I guess

1780
01:48:22,000 --> 01:48:22,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know.

1781
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:24,600
Speaker 5: Nine million for a guy who might not be in

1782
01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:25,760
Speaker 5: the majors for three years.

1783
01:48:25,800 --> 01:48:26,479
Speaker 1: That's been good.

1784
01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:30,160
Speaker 5: They never play, that's right. It's a pitcher. It's not

1785
01:48:30,439 --> 01:48:33,679
Speaker 5: often drafted number one overall. Pitcher injuries are more common.

1786
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 1: Well, we had one of San Diego State.

1787
01:48:36,800 --> 01:48:41,400
Speaker 5: He made some money before there, Stephen Strasford made some

1788
01:48:41,439 --> 01:48:43,320
Speaker 5: money before he was finally shut down.

1789
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:45,000
Speaker 1: Good old strass Right.

1790
01:48:45,080 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, you know, well, I mean, I'm enjoying

1791
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 5: the music, but let's get to overtime. US men's sucker

1792
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 5: at the Gold Cup quarterfinal on FS one. It's one

1793
01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 5: one against Canada. They got about ten to fifteen minutes

1794
01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:02,240
Speaker 5: left in thet in Cincinnati. The guy who scored for

1795
01:49:02,280 --> 01:49:06,200
Speaker 5: the Americans plays for FC Cincinnati, Brandon Vasquez. It looked

1796
01:49:06,240 --> 01:49:07,840
Speaker 5: like that would be the game winner in the eighty

1797
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:11,240
Speaker 5: eighth minute, but five minutes later, after a handball, Canada

1798
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 5: tied it with a penalty kick. It has still won onon.

1799
01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:16,960
Speaker 5: Jamaica won its quarterfinal one nothing over Guatemala. Mexico won

1800
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,960
Speaker 5: its quarter final last night. US women's soccer is in

1801
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 5: the air. It is left for the Women's World Cup.

1802
01:49:22,120 --> 01:49:25,240
Speaker 5: Week from Friday, they'll have their first game against Vietnam,

1803
01:49:25,320 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 5: which is not ranked in the top twenty five. In

1804
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 5: case you couldn't guess, and today, the Americans and their

1805
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 5: final exhibition before traveling, were scoreless through seventy five minutes

1806
01:49:33,880 --> 01:49:36,840
Speaker 5: against Wales, but in San Jose, Trinity Rodman did score

1807
01:49:36,880 --> 01:49:39,680
Speaker 5: two late goals to nothing. US Final. The Americans still

1808
01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,439
Speaker 5: undefeated this year, ranked number one in the world at

1809
01:49:42,439 --> 01:49:46,120
Speaker 5: Wimbledon Number one Egas Fiante advanced to the quarterfinals. NASCAR

1810
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,640
Speaker 5: victory in a rain shortened race at Atlanta tonight for

1811
01:49:48,680 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 5: William Byron. Daniel Suarez finished second. Major League Baseball now

1812
01:49:53,200 --> 01:49:56,479
Speaker 5: on All Star Break Pittsburgh and San Francisco with win.

1813
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 5: San Diego beat the Mets in Max Scherzer six to two.

1814
01:50:00,120 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 5: Canada has just scored in overtime one hundred and ninth minute,

1815
01:50:04,800 --> 01:50:08,960
Speaker 5: one one stinking goal for the US offense. They're down

1816
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:12,080
Speaker 5: two to one to Canada. Again, soccer does not have

1817
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 5: sudden death overtime, so we still have ten minutes plus

1818
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 5: to go on FS one.

1819
01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:23,840
Speaker 1: Back to you, Oh, it's terrible, this is terrible. I'm

1820
01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:26,400
Speaker 1: dejected right now. I know you are.

1821
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:31,840
Speaker 2: Thank goodness, we're about to take a short break. Look,

1822
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 2: I'll say, look, I have more.

1823
01:50:33,720 --> 01:50:36,439
Speaker 1: I have more. I'm gonna direct my attention to one

1824
01:50:36,479 --> 01:50:40,680
Speaker 1: of the other screens. So I'm looking with the what

1825
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:44,160
Speaker 1: is this? Was it forty fourth pick or something like that? No,

1826
01:50:44,200 --> 01:50:47,120
Speaker 1: your forty third pick draft? Yes, the forty third pick

1827
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:51,240
Speaker 1: high school kid. Does he still get to go to

1828
01:50:51,280 --> 01:50:55,280
Speaker 1: college or does he go right to the minor league?

1829
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:59,919
Speaker 2: That would be his choice. So if he goes to college,

1830
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:03,680
Speaker 2: then he has to stay there for at least three years.

1831
01:51:03,640 --> 01:51:07,200
Speaker 1: And that draft pick is no longer a draft pick

1832
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 1: or do they own his rights? They do not keep

1833
01:51:10,240 --> 01:51:12,439
Speaker 1: his rights, so he can re enter the draft after

1834
01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:16,360
Speaker 1: three years back into the pool. That's correct. Wow, that's weird.

1835
01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:19,080
Speaker 1: So what happens? We did have to decide that right now?

1836
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:24,639
Speaker 2: Literally, he's got ten more seconds. Yes, no, you like no,

1837
01:51:25,080 --> 01:51:31,920
Speaker 2: you can part of that is a negotiating piece, right,

Speaker 1: Geez? Oh gosh.

1895
01:54:44,280 --> 01:54:48,000
Speaker 2: Anyway, Hey, before you ask any more of those baseball questions,

1896
01:54:48,040 --> 01:54:50,000
Speaker 2: I got just a quick one for you on the

1897
01:54:50,120 --> 01:54:55,000
Speaker 2: NFL gambling stuff. NFL extends its betting deal with Genius Sports.

1898
01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:56,920
Speaker 2: We get all of this right. The NFL is in

1899
01:54:56,960 --> 01:54:59,360
Speaker 2: bed with gambling, but they won't allow their players to

1900
01:54:59,360 --> 01:55:05,000
Speaker 2: do it. But a handful of the nine players who

1901
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:08,400
Speaker 2: were recently suspended for gambling were not even gambling on

1902
01:55:08,440 --> 01:55:12,080
Speaker 2: the NFL. I know, there's the rule about where you

1903
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:15,160
Speaker 2: place your bets. In addition to just placing bets like,

1904
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:17,680
Speaker 2: don't do it at the team facility. I guess I

1905
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:20,520
Speaker 2: can understand that, can you? Just this is a very

1906
01:55:20,560 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 2: simplistic question. Why why would Jamison Williams, for example, or.

1907
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 1: Hell, Josh Allen?

1908
01:55:28,760 --> 01:55:32,440
Speaker 2: If Josh Allen wants to bet the over on Lebron

1909
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 2: James's assists in a basketball game.

1910
01:55:35,160 --> 01:55:44,360
Speaker 1: Why not? Yeah? So it's the parent who smokes a

1911
01:55:44,360 --> 01:55:50,000
Speaker 1: pack of cigarettes a day in the house, right, and

1912
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:55,160
Speaker 1: then you find out your kid is smoking and you

1913
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:57,520
Speaker 1: tell them, were you not going to smoke under my roof?

1914
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:04,680
Speaker 1: Go smoke under my roof? You don't do that in here? Okay,

1915
01:56:04,680 --> 01:56:09,960
Speaker 1: Well I'm gonna go outside and smoke. Wait, what like

1916
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:15,000
Speaker 1: don't It's it's it's hypocritical. It's crazy. I get No,

1917
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 1: you don't smoke on I mean, you don't gamble on football,

1918
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 1: but you can't put these well you can't gamble at all. Well,

1919
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:28,480
Speaker 1: then there'd be no card games, no bou rat, no poker,

1920
01:56:29,320 --> 01:56:32,600
Speaker 1: no any of that. And we gambled on oh no,

1921
01:56:32,840 --> 01:56:41,000
Speaker 1: when I was in Atlanta. Seriously, it just it's like

1922
01:56:41,200 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 1: to me, it doesn't it's hypocritical. I don't get it.

1923
01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't know why. I have no answer for that

1924
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. No, I'm with you. I'm with you. I

1925
01:56:48,560 --> 01:56:52,800
Speaker 1: just I'm like wondering what the NFL even games out

1926
01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:56,040
Speaker 1: of They're just saying, don't do. We're not going to.

1927
01:56:56,480 --> 01:57:00,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna limit your access to the gambling here at

1928
01:57:00,400 --> 01:57:02,680
Speaker 1: the fifth We don't want you to slip into gambling

1929
01:57:02,720 --> 01:57:06,080
Speaker 1: on football here at the facility. Okay, after getting some

1930
01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:10,160
Speaker 1: information that can dictate the outcome of a game. We

1931
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:13,840
Speaker 1: don't want you falling into your your betting app and

1932
01:57:14,480 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 1: putting money down, you know what I mean? So so

1933
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:22,840
Speaker 1: many gray areas. Yeah, man, it's tough. It's tough.

1934
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:26,120
Speaker 2: Everybody's already like it's like the calendar flipped in July

1935
01:57:26,680 --> 01:57:28,200
Speaker 2: and everybody immediately is.

1936
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:29,560
Speaker 1: Like football time.

1937
01:57:29,680 --> 01:57:32,000
Speaker 2: It's time to start whispering about who should be number

1938
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 2: one overall in their fantasy football drafts.

1939

Speaker 2: Fame game game, Yep, yep, it's coming fast. All right,

1943
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 2: what do you still have on your on your MLB

1944
01:57:48,800 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 2: draft play?

1945
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't. Steve came in and cleared some

1946
01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 1: things up from because that's what Steve does. He's a

1947
01:57:54,640 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 1: clean right, a lot more than I do. I know that,

1948
01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:01,680
Speaker 1: but it's it's just weird to me that these like

1949
01:58:01,720 --> 01:58:03,840
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old he gets drafted in the first

1950
01:58:03,920 --> 01:58:06,520
Speaker 1: round or the second round and he's like, yes, I'm coming,

1951

Speaker 1: I'm taking the money two million dollars. Right, man goes

1952
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:17,440
Speaker 1: and plays in the minor leagues for peanuts for fifteen years.

1953
01:58:18,680 --> 01:58:23,200
Speaker 1: Was that worth it? I'm trying to find out why

1954
01:58:23,240 --> 01:58:27,400
Speaker 1: the kids are crying at the draft when they get drafted,

1955
01:58:28,160 --> 01:58:30,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, bro, this this seems like the workers

1957
01:58:32,880 --> 01:58:36,320
Speaker 2: Didn't get easy. I mean, that's true in any sport.

1958
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:38,880
Speaker 2: Is just one extra degree thrown in there.

1959
01:58:39,160 --> 01:58:41,960
Speaker 1: That's a big I mean, I mean.

1960
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:45,480
