You gotta have your technique down or 43 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: else you're gonna be a one hit wonder in that pool. 44 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: And I've seen a couple of fathers go out there 45 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 1: with their little muscles. You know, they got those dad bobs. 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: But those the kind of dads that take a little 47 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: cystosterone or the dads that do a little HGG. I 48 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: don't know what the hell these old dudes be doing 49 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: out here, but every now and then you catch a 50 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: fifty year old with some muscles, You be like, did 51 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: you play ball?

Couldn't do it, couldn't do it. 53 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: I've been preparing for this my whole life because I 54 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: got m J. M J and I we go at it. 55 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 1: Always tell my boy be nice to your sisters, not 56 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: because they're girls, because they're half your age. He's seven, 57 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: four and three. I'm like, do not bring the pain 58 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: to them, or I'm gonna grab one of these fourteen 59 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: year old boys and let you know how it feels 60 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: if he hits you as hard as you can, so 61 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: he gets it and he takes out all this frustration 62 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: on me. And I'm the big bare pillow that takes it. 63 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: So it was the throwing the kids up in the 64 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: air because we kept recruiting kids because they're like, dog, 65 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: I want to do it. And the Lonny ties, which 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: sound like what they are Hawaiian version of a my tie. 67 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: I've been having a ball with those two, pounding them. 68 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: We leave today at one o'clock, We land tomorrow at 69 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: one o'clock in the morning. Yeah, that's one of those trips. 70 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,679 Speaker 1: So poor kids, poor me, poor us. Pray for the 71 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: Widy family. All right, let's get into this topic right here, 72 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 1: and prayers up for the Masters as they are still 73 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: in search and discovery for the next Tiger Woods. How 74 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: do we even get the next Tiger Woods. Let's just 75 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: be real about it. Well, the Master's tea is off today, 76 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: has already started tea times Eastern Standard time, so this 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 1: has already occurred. But we saw Tiger Woods go at 78 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 1: ten eighteen, Justin Thomas ten forty two, Rory McElroy and 79 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: Tom Kim at one forty eight. Now y'all probably sitting 80 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: there like Marcella talking about golf. But its closure. My 81 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: first sport in life was not football, not basketball, was 82 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: not even track and fields the sport I loved the most. 83 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: It was actually golf. I'll tell you those stories after 84 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: we go on this journey for the next Tiger Woods. Okay, 85 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: so a lot of people are circling my man, Tom Kim. 86 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 1: Don't know who he is. He's just twenty year old 87 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: phenom that's kind of come out of nowhere, like phenomen 88 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: in a sense of while it's happening fast. But just 89 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: a year or two ago, we were like, who is 90 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: this dude? We saw his charisma on display. You know, 91 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: he's Hella with those irons, you could see all of that. 92 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Now he got his Nike on sponsorship. So the guy 93 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: is on his way. But where was he Like two 94 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: years ago? A lot of people didn't see him. They 95 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: didn't see him coming. Just got his tour status in 96 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: those last two years he had temporary status on the 97 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: PGA tour. Turned that into a couple of victories. Now 98 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: people are like, we're gonna watch Slugger Woods just because 99 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: that's what we do. Tiger Woods is till the king 100 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: of the sport in terms of viewership and ratings, but 101 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: we're looking for the next Tiger Woods. I certainly know 102 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the PGA Tour is and live and sitting there hoping 103 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: that they don't find them. Now, how did we even 104 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: get a Tiger Woods. Let's start off with the basics. 105 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: We all know it started off with that unique talent, 106 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: and that unique talent we saw on display on television 107 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: when he was like two years old. What did that 108 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: allow us to do not only identify a phenom, but 109 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: go on the journey with him. And this was such 110 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: a unique journey, not just because of how much time 111 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: we were able to commit to watching him go from two, three, 112 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: four or five. Then next you know the guys in 113 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: high school? Then is he going to Stanford and he's 114 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: row You got the ride that journey with him. But also, 115 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: let's be real, it was a unique journey, right confronted 116 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: with so many social issues. Let's go back to Fuzzy 117 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: Zeller and this statements before because Tiger Woods not only 118 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: in black, but uniquely black in terms of Tiger Woods 119 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: one to open up all of who he was to 120 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: the world, because Tiger Woods wasn't just exclusively black in 121 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: his eyes, but boy did he meet the confrontation of 122 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: identity when he tried to show pride in all who 123 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: he was. So look at Tiger Woods phenomenonoe at what 124 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: he did, a prodigy at what he did, and also 125 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 1: showed us so many social issues and so many social 126 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: ills that need to be confronted or cured, and Tiger 127 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: Woods was the guy who was in the middle of 128 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: all of that. We got to see it a mystique 129 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: to a golfer, which was like just complete contrast to us. 130 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: We are looking at the sport of golf typically as 131 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: a sport that is well manicured, and you have to 132 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: be perfectly mannered, and there's a certain culture and you 133 00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: gotta abide by the customs of the sport or else, Oh, 134 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: you can't even play golf. Forget about actually being a 135 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: good golfer. It's like they won't even accept you in 136 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: the club, right unless you acted a certain way. Here 137 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: comes Tiger Woods, and the way he acted was something 138 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: unique to the entire golf experience. And that what was great. 139 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Whether you're talking about the fish pumps or whatever the 140 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: hell you want to call that, I mean, I mean 141 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: to them, that was boisterous. To them, that was like exclamation, 142 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods in the all Red on Sunday doing this, 143 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: So now are they gonna find another one? And I 144 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: hate to be the guy that says never, but I'm 145 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: gonna say never. I can't see how you're gonna find 146 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: that package again. And I know use this clip against me, 147 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: and I beg you to use it against me because 148 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 1: I want to find the next Tiger Woods. Is it 149 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: Tom Kim? I don't know if we thought it was 150 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: Rory mckawor we thought it was Jordan Spief, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. 151 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: We have not found that guy. Just shit. So once 152 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: we find the biggest star on and off the course, 153 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: is he's still gonna be able to captivate us like 154 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: Tiger Woods? Like I said before, I don't think so 155 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: I say never. What do you say? Ooh? I got 156 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: to calm myself down because we're about to talk about 157 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: someone who quote unquote cheated And there's a minor leaguer 158 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: out there who rips Fernando Junior as a cheater after 159 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: the Padre star HiT's a home run, all right, little 160 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: backdrop on this from Fernando Tatis Junior.

The 171 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: Star got an early taste of it on Wednesday night. 172 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: Tatis belt to the solo home run Wednesday and during 173 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: the second Minor League we have game with the Triple 174 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: A l Passo where he will play the next two 175 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: weeks as he completes the eighty game suspension. Got booed 176 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: while rounding the bases by the home fans the Sacramento. 177 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Then Tatis also caught flack on social media from Cave 178 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: McClure with the picture who allowed the home run. Mclaura 179 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: was responding to a video highlight of Tatis Homer and 180 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: called the silver Sugger a cheat. T Oh my god, 181 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: and he was in that game obviously because of that 182 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: steroid suspension. Now you guys can see the tweet right there, 183 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 1: and then their retweet from McClure, who also said, quote 184 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: quote quote, You'll be telling people for years about the 185 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: time he gave up an absolute new to Fernando Tatis Junior. 186 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: But that I got hit with the whoa the stars 187 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: and cheater hits a home run on a rehab assignment 188 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: during a steroid suspension got me to thinking, you know me, 189 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: I was all natural ry with my ten years in 190 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: the NFL. And I'm not saying that like I'm holier 191 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: than now because I don't have regrets. But I have 192 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: played with some guys who did cheat, who went on 193 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: to have better careers than me, and frankly, the only 194 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: regret that I had in my entire playing career was 195 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: the fact that I couldn't stay healthy. And then talking 196 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,319 Speaker 1: to those guys, they said a large part of the 197 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: reason they did it wasn't to play better, but just 198 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: to stay healthy so that they could play as well 199 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: as they could. And I swear to y'all, in my 200 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: ten year NFL career, I never thought about it in 201 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: those terms. I always thought about it the way they 202 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,200 Speaker 1: literally said it, performance enhancing drugs, right, So I was like, dog, 203 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,439 Speaker 1: I'm big I'm strong, I'm fast, I could play. I 204 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: just kept getting hurt. So forget steroids. I don't need steroids. 205 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: I need some wonder drug that keeps me from getting hurt. 206 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: And guess what those dudes told me, those cheaters, dog, 207 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: that's what you think. What do you think we were 208 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 1: taking it for? We were taking it so we can 209 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: stay available, so we can go out there play as 210 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: well as we could, which will lead us to more 211 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: money and opportunities. Never ever thought about it. So I'm 212 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: asking you, guys, as I'm thinking through this right now, 213 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: is Fernando Tatis Junior a cheater for life? Right? Are 214 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: we gonna stamp him? Mark McGuire, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa? 215 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Are we gonna stamp him like that? Despite some of 216 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: those got Barry Bonds? Did he ever get caught? But 217 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: still we're like, well, Fernando Tatis Junior actually got caught. 218 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,599 Speaker 1: Remember he said that he was taking it. He was 219 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: taking a cream that he was taking for ring worm, 220 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: but the cream had clost closter ball close to ball. 221 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: See y'all know, I never took steroids. I can't even 222 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: say the word close to the ball a synthetic form 223 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: of testosterone. Now, I know one thing about these cheaters 224 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: that they all got to take some masking agent and 225 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: always stay ahead of the testing so that they, quote 226 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: unquote don't get caught. So they'll take all kind of 227 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: crazy stuff to just throw you off the scent and 228 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: throw you off the tests so that they could take 229 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: what they really want. Right, So now you got ring worm, 230 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: You're like, oh I had to take this. Oh my god, 231 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: I didn't know what was in the cream. Sure you 232 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: didn't know. But is he a cheater for life? Right? 233 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: We're talking about a twenty four year old the rest 234 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: of his career, no matter what he does. What if 235 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: he all of a sudden gets clean and the testament, testament, testament, 236 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: and never ever do we catch him again? Is he 237 00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: all right? Or is he still a cheater? DeAndre Hopkins 238 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,439 Speaker 1: comes to mind, Right, DeAndre Hopkins got busted and then me, 239 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, sorry, you're a cheater. But then 240 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: it's like, dog, First of all, I wasn't doing this 241 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: my entire time. Second of all, I did it for 242 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: this reason. And now test me all you want. I'm 243 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 1: not gonna get caught again. What are you doing? Situations 244 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: like that? Man, I'm not regretting it, but where if 245 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: you now will pose to me twenty one year old 246 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: rookie version of me who knows what I've been through. 247 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: I could give you this some cluster ball and you 248 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: can take it, and guess what if you take it. 249 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna say you're gonna get ten sacks every 250 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: but you ain't gonna miss ten games. You're not gonna 251 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: get hurt. O. Don't no, Mama, you raised no cheaters, 252 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: but I became something I don't know that is crazy. 253 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: So you think he's a cheater? Are you one of 254 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 1: the people that's like, look, let's be real. These are athletes. 255 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: I expect my athletes to try to do something beyond 256 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: the line, right cross the line, blur the line. If 257 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. Are you that type 258 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 1: of fan or you the type of fan like nah, nah, 259 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: why don't you get busted? It's a rap because Cass 260 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,080 Speaker 1: came to me only one time in my entire NFL 261 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: career about doing something extracurricular and it wasn't even an 262 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,040 Speaker 1: NFL player. I was at a gym in sa and 263 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: Diego just kind of really flexing. I could have went 264 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: to the facilities like I always did, but this was 265 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: a local gym a little closer than the facilities. Plus 266 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: that's where the girls were hanging out and working out. 267 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: And just imagine this, y'all, because this is real. You 268 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: are twenty five years old, you are playing for the 269 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,640 Speaker 1: local team, a pro team. They're billboards and all kinds 270 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: of stuff and commercials running of you, and you go 271 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: to the local gym and I did it. I'm telling 272 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: y'all straight up why I did it because I wanted 273 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: to get holiday. Like going in there, every dude's like, 274 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: oh dude, that's much other, and every girl's like trying 275 00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: to play it off. And you know, once a girl less, 276 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: you catch her set staring, you got her, right. So 277 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm working out and they're just chilling, chilling, chilling, really 278 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: not doing a great workout because they don't have the 279 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: same equipment we do at the charges facility. But I'm 280 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: getting it in and next thing, you know, Papa Powder, 281 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: this dude hit me some kind of surfer cat typical 282 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: and he was like, hey, bro, you know you look good. 283 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 1: You want to look great? And I was like huh. 284 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: And that turned into a conversation that was a little 285 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: bit different, a little bit different, distant to what I 286 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: wanted to do. So I'm not mad, I'm not virtue signaling. 287 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm kind of pissed I didn't do something to stay 288 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: healthy other didn't work out, and pray I'm not even 289 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: genuinely mad. I'm actually evolving in this position because I 290 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: used to have this hard line. Once you cheat, I'm 291 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 1: done with you, forget your career, and I think I 292 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: still do, but I'm losing a little bit of the 293 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: grasp on that. So tell me what you guys thinking. 294 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: Are you thinking they'd some lying, sneaky cheat nasses like 295 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: I did, or like I still do, or you're like, yo, 296 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

Dog, 301 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: This is insane, this wind streak that these Clippers have 302 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: been on. But we're not just gonna focus in on that. 303 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: We don't do typical news story is over here. We 304 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: always got to get that intersection of a deeper message 305 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: where intersexual life or some personal stories.

Y'all catch that at Lebron 331 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,360 Speaker 1: like Abra because you know him and Lebron actually neighbors. Yeah, 332 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 1: they live across the street from each other. I ain't 333 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: gonna tell y'all no more, but yeah, neighbors, former teammates. 334 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 1: And let's just say that Lebron might have had something 335 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: to do with Brody leaving, because he has something to 336 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: do with Brody comments. So let's just talk about that. 337 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 1: Normal Paul or normal power led all the Clippers twenty 338 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: seven points. We saw Kawhi throwing twenty five bye bye blab. 339 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: All the Lakers starters except one had double digits. I 340 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about this whole backtome back. Oh 341 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: we just came off a road trip, and oh it 342 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: was an overtime game, y'all. Never beat the Clippers. It 343 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: just is what it is. Let's talk about what was 344 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: happening and what this means for the Clippers and the 345 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: Lakers fifth place seat now for the Clippers, all right, yeah, 346 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: it's right because this game that came in same exact record, 347 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: both sitting there at the sixth seed. That drops the 348 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: Lakers to the play in tournament, the n IT tournament 349 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: that they're gonna be in right now, trying to get 350 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: into the real playoffs as of now. Now, let's talk 351 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: about the fact that when you see all of this happening, oh, 352 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: poor Lakers may be deflated, while y'all made it deflated 353 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: because y'all putting in a lot of work. You're twelve 354 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 1: and six in your last eighteen games, putting in a 355 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: lot of work to end up with that seven for 356 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: eight seed. But it's better than nothing, right, Don't want 357 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: to beat the letting seed, want to be on the 358 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 1: outside looking in. So let's talk about the revenge game. 359 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: Because we saw Brody go out there. You can't say 360 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: you played with more energy this game than normal, because 361 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: the dude always plays with an emotional drive. The energy 362 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: that we see on full display every single time. Like, seriously, 363 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: I can't name another player, especially another great that plays 364 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: with that constant level of energy. Now, it's not always 365 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: the most efficient. We know that because like anything, you 366 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: gotta have gears. You gotta be able to shift gears. 367 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: So going in sixth gears sounds amazing, but sometimes you 368 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: need to downshift fifth fourth gears. Set him up, and 369 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 1: he does that as well, but constantly, the dude is 370 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: an overdrive in terms of intensity. Correct full disclosure. I 371 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: know Russell Westbrook, our families know each other, families hang out. Good, 372 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: good dude man. Really a great situation for him right 373 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: now to be somewhere where he's being welcomed once again, 374 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: because I think we're forgetting of his greatness because it 375 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 1: didn't work out with the Lakers. It didn't work out 376 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: with the Lakers, not largely because of him. He was 377 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: the same Russell Westbrook that he's been before. Now, now 378 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: I had his height, but what he was in Washington 379 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: and of late. But what happened when he got to 380 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: the Lakers is, oh, he wasn't even supposed to be Batman. 381 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: He wasn't even supposed to be robbing what he's supposed 382 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 1: to be. I guess the joker who's next in that series. 383 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: He's supposed to be somebody else, and all you saw 384 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: were injuries, not only to Anthony Davis. Let's be real. 385 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 1: Lebron tapped out as well, got injured, and they put 386 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: all that on Russell Westbrook and they're like, due uniform, MVP, 387 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: you're still tilting at one hundred percent. Go out there 388 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: and lead us. And when he couldn't lead them, all 389 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: a sudden, they blamed him. That's how I think you 390 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,239 Speaker 1: sum up that situation with the Lakers, that said, now 391 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: he's with the Clippers. There's no doubt you're not the Batman. 392 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: There's no doubt you're to Robin. We know your position, 393 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: and your position is here, and we just want you 394 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: to play with energy, help us in transition, help us 395 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 1: in pace, and that's what he's doing. But a revenge 396 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: game is a little different. Why you're familiar with those dudes, 397 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: and you got issues with those dudes, some of them, 398 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: if not all of them, because you're like dog, I 399 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: was there, y'all brought me in, welcome me. We all 400 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: went out for wings and things before, and then all 401 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: of a sudden, nobody knows nothing. When it's time for me. 402 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: The guy get traded and not even traded to the Clippers. 403 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 1: Don't forget it was that pit stop. You had to 404 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: go to Utah and do the buy out to get 405 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: back to the Clippers. Lost some money in that process 406 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: as well. You don't let those things go. You don't 407 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: let those things just stay. Lighten your heart, Nah, you 408 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: got a heavy heart when you're playing those boys that 409 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: you used to run with. And I've been through that 410 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: before when I played in the revenge game with Buffalo 411 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: Bills versus the San Diego Chargers and board Ah. Let's 412 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: just say it is hard to contain your emotions in 413 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: those moments. But if you're able to channel that energy, 414 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: you could god only go out there and be productive, 415 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: but also punch it to them personally. As you saw 416 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: Brody a few times. Look at Lebron like Abra a neighbor, 417 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: a former teammate, A goat your boys over here, loving 418 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: life in balling out of control. And don't worry, I'll 419 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: tell you that San Diego Buffalo stories. Shortly, this one's 420 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: gonna be hot one hunting, right, because I've been having 421 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: this conversation a lot privately. Right, It's one of those 422 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: conversations that easily goes down that slippery slope and starts 423 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: to sound like sexism. Oh. I've had this conversation publicly 424 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,880 Speaker 1: a couple of times, and every time I was accused 425 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: of being sexist. Why because I declare that the w 426 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: NBA sucks and I know it does. And that's okay. 427 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: Guess what else sucks to me? I'm not a big 428 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 1: fan of Nascar, all right, y'allkers love Nascar, great for you. 429 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: I don't like watching Billiards on TV. It sucks. You 430 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: can love it, boy, being you may not like football, 431 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: that's okay. But we're gonna talk about it deeper than 432 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: just my opinion, but by the numbers, and actually by 433 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: the words of those who not only play in the WNBA, 434 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: but those who are projected to play in the w NBA. 435 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: Then I want to hear what you guys got to say. Now, 436 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: Why is it so near and dear to my heart? Well, 437 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: pretty obvious. I have four kids and three daughters, right, 438 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: And there was a time where my daughter dabbled in 439 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 1: the sport of basketball. But then her DNA, especially the 440 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 1: DNA she got from her father, told her she ain't 441 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: gonna play basketball very well because I can't play basketball 442 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: very well. So my twenty four year old daughter ends 443 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: up going to Yukon on the track scholarship, not basketball. 444 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: Damn you come basketball. Whoa she had to be hella good. 445 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: Let's just say she was hella bad. It's all good, y'all. 446 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: But that the first time I really started to bring 447 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 1: it home in terms of the w NBA conversation. Now, 448 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: I have two youngsters, a four year old and a 449 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: three year old, and like every parent out there, as 450 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:00,919 Speaker 1: much as you can see down with them and help 451 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: them do their homework and go all the PTA meetings 452 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: and sit there and check on their report cards, we 453 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: all fascinate on what sport our kids can play, if 454 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: they could play any sport at all. Well, I'm looking 455 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 1: at my four year old. She's the athlete in the family, 456 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 1: greater than me, even greater than MJ. And I know 457 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,360 Speaker 1: MJ's gonna be silly in something, but Orio is a monster. 458 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: My four year old is special. Don't believe me. I'm 459 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: gonna just mike myself up around other parents and you're 460 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: gonna have to hear what they say about the riots. 461 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: She's just different. Olivia's are smaller of the bunch. I 462 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: call her a runt. Of the litter and she's just 463 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: a little and guess what, she sent me five percent 464 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: dow and eighty nine percent down hike, So she's gonna 465 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: be tall and little, maybe a little mottel in there. 466 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: I don't know what the hell, but I've always thought 467 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: about what sports. We all say, women's tennis, that's the 468 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 1: grandness of all women's sports. Right. Then you can say, oh, 469 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: women's golf, yes, and then we say, hell, now the 470 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: women's volleyball. Why where the pro circuit? I mean, they 471 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: have one pro beach volleyball, but all those girls also 472 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: work at FedEx and Amazon and offseason because it doesn't 473 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 1: add up financially. Let's just be real. So it's always 474 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: golf in tennis, and then there's the w NBA with 475 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: all that notoriety, and it is a pro level. But 476 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 1: something is just a miss. Something, Something just ain't right. 477 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: Y'all remember that song. Well, let's talk about what's not right, 478 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: because this story got me right back to talking about it. 479 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: All this talk we're talking about this week Caitlyn Clark, 480 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: Angel Reese, and I'm like, these are feed off. Caitlyn 481 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 1: Clark might be the Jordan of the sport, but what's 482 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: next for them once they leave the college game. So 483 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: let's have this fascinating discussion on why the w NBA 484 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: sucks and how we really can fix it. Started off 485 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: with UCLA's Charisma Osbourne. Mama, nain't you Charisma. Let's go 486 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: say yesterday, she's gonna return to UCLA for a fifth 487 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: season despite being projected a top ten pick. Okay, y'all, 488 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: let's take this to college football. Top ten pick? Is 489 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: he coming back? You want to know why she's coming back? 490 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: It's pretty simple. She's gonna forego that projection because she 491 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: can make more money staying in college with nil money 492 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: than she can go into the w NBA. For real, Now, 493 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: we're not talking about like she's the Jordan of the 494 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: college basketball game. She's not Caitlin Clark, and she still 495 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,160 Speaker 1: can make more money than being a top ten pick 496 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: in the w NBA. And let's just say she wouldn't 497 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: be picked number ten, right, So wow, hold on simply put, 498 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: being a top ten pick in the w NBA draft 499 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: guarantees you nothing. Even being a lottery pick the top 500 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,280 Speaker 1: four picks in the draft doesn't guarantee a player that much. 501 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? All? Right, they said in the article, 502 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: think about this very very little turnover in the w NBA, 503 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 1: Deanna Tarassi entering her nineteenth season, Candice Parker sixteenth year 504 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: to want to bound her fifteen year, all of them 505 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: rosters short supply in terms of that talent level. Now 506 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna dive into the numbers. I was like, interesting, 507 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: I look and saw a recent comparison of the NBA 508 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 1: numbers and the w NBA numbers. Because I don't want 509 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: anyone to confuse this argument for what it is. It's 510 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: a conversation of the product and what it produces, and 511 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: how can we fix this. Stop hiding behind gender, stop 512 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: hiding behind your social fears and trying to sound PC, 513 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 1: and just recognize something's not working despite we know that 514 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: there are women ballers. Man, let's talk through it. The 515 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: NBA is WNBA and revenue ten billion would a B 516 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: for the NBA sixty million with an M for the WNBA. 517 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: Average salaries nine point six million in the NBA, one 518 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:20,399 Speaker 1: hundred and two thousand in the w NBA. Y'all need 519 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: to stop playing, get more just putting videos on YouTube. 520 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: Ticket prices ninety four dollars to forty seven dollars, which 521 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,679 Speaker 1: is a lot closer than I expected. But there are 522 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: a lot more games in the NBA. Highest paid player 523 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: Steph Curtin, forty eight millions. Steph Curry on the shop 524 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 1: Why Joel Lloyd two hundred and twenty eight thousand dollars 525 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: Well average viewership NBA Finals twelve point four million, four 526 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: hundred and twelve thousand for the w NBA average attendance 527 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: seventeen thousand, one hundred eighty four five thousand, six hundred 528 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: and seventy nine ratings, seven point six rating, reaching twelve 529 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: point four million in the Finals. NBA high s view 530 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,840 Speaker 1: game Ace versus Storm eight hundred and fifty two thousand 531 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: viewers peeking at one point one million. Okay, Now, I've 532 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: had this conversation with two of the mount Rushmore grades 533 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: of the w NBA before privately will not tell you 534 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: their names, but we've had this conversation, and let me 535 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: break it down for you. This how it goes. We 536 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: know in the w NBA they have smaller basketballs. Right, 537 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: It's an in smaller and two ounces lighter than a 538 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: regulation NBA basketball That allows them to not only be 539 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: more accurate, but shoot from deeper parts of the court. Correct, 540 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: all right, make six, but it's a smaller ball than 541 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: the men's ball. Point one point two. The three point 542 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: line is closer than the men's game. Twenty two feet 543 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: three for the men at twenty three nine, I should 544 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: say for the men, and it's twenty two three for 545 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: the women and twenty point six when you talk about 546 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: the WA NBA in international, no game, okay, so the 547 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: three point line is closer. The games are shorter, right, 548 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: four quarters for both, but twelve minutes NBA, ten minutes 549 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 1: w NBA. Starting to get where I'm going, huh? Okay, 550 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 1: so we got smaller balls, closer three point line games 551 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: are shorter. Roster sizes are even different. NBA roster fifteen players, 552 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: a minimum twelve. You may have two additional players under 553 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: two way contracts who split time all right between the 554 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: parent club and the G league. W NBA roster maximum 555 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: twelve players, different age minimums. This is what caught me 556 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: off guard. For the drafted rookies, a player in the 557 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 1: w NBA draft twenty two years old must be twenty 558 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 1: two wow, and a draftee does not maintain any contract 559 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,479 Speaker 1: guarantee despite being drafted. Did y'all hear that you get drafted. 560 00:30:55,520 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: Ain't no contract guarantee. Top picks too, ain't no track guarantee. 561 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: Player in the NBA draft must be at least nineteen 562 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: years old and have at least one year of post 563 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: secondary experience. Okay, so that's just the standard differences between 564 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: NBA and w NBA. I mean objectively different games, gotch 565 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: we let's sum it up one more time. Smaller ball, closer, 566 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: three point line. Games is shorter, Roster sizes are different, 567 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,880 Speaker 1: and the age minimums are different. All right, Now, this 568 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: is what James Dolan had to say. Who owned the 569 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: Liberty at one time, New York Liberty he said, quote 570 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: the Liberty hasn't made money. He said this on Real Sports, 571 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: he said, And it's prospects of making money at the 572 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 1: time and even today are still slim. He end up 573 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: selling the New York Liberty to Joe Side, who's the 574 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: co founder executive chairman of the Ali Baba group. Man, 575 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: I think he done the own Oh, he used to 576 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 1: own the Brooklyn Nets, right, So this is coming from 577 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: Adam Silver as well. Some of the numbers. He declared 578 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: that the w NBA lost twelve million dollars last year 579 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: and that's in part why the w NBPA their players 580 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: union once out of their CBA deal for clarity to 581 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: see the books. And last, but not least, the attendance 582 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 1: for the w NBA was at its lowest in league history. 583 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: Why am I bringing all this up because we just 584 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:31,720 Speaker 1: saw the highest viewership ever for the women's college game 585 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 1: and those players are sooner than later gonna be in 586 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: the w NBA. But as you're seeing, the culture of 587 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 1: college basketball is telling them, stay as long as you 588 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: can because there is nothing that's good that is awaiting 589 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: you at the w NBA level. Ain't that a damn shame? 590 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: We've all heard it. Oh, you more popular and famous 591 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: being in college playing girls basketball, women's basketball. Then if 592 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: you go to the w NBA and we don't address 593 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: this all right? So what's the fix? All right? Marselves? 594 00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: You laid out all the damn problems. You're damn pestimists. 595 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: What is the fix? And I've said this to those 596 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: two Mount Rushmore players, and I'm saying to y'all, the 597 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: fix is simple. Let me hide it first. The greatest 598 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 1: display of athleticism is why we really get captivated by sports, right, 599 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: We get captivated by things that we can see someone 600 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: else do that. Frankly, we can't do whatever that may be. 601 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 1: In football, I think it's the touchdowns and the points 602 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 1: that's most captivated. Look, we love to see a sack 603 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: and a forced fumble and all that, but boy, touchdown 604 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: makes us think that boy just ran by everybody, look 605 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: at them, light up the scoreboard, touchdown and or just 606 00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 1: elude everyone. Right. In baseball, it's the long ball, right, 607 00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 1: it's that home runk. What four hundred feet? Wow, you 608 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: go up to the batting cages and try and do it. 609 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:04,200 Speaker 1: Strike stru right, So why we're captivated by that? In basketball, 610 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,280 Speaker 1: it's the dunk, not the three pointer, and the three 611 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 1: pointer tries to rival it. But watch the ratings, watch 612 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: our response to the three point contests versus the dunk contest. Correct, 613 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: So the dunk whoa ten feet? First, of all, most 614 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: men can't even touch the rim, And I'm saying that 615 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 1: for real, Most men I know can't touch the rim. Like, 616 00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,759 Speaker 1: there's a lot of news that can, and it's a 617 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: lot more that can't even touch the rim. Let alone 618 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 1: get a ball over it, Let alone do something freaky 619 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: dinky ekey in the air and still bang. Most guys 620 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,200 Speaker 1: only can dream of doing that. All right, So what 621 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: is the fix for the W NBA? I just told 622 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,800 Speaker 1: it to you. Just like the NBA. You gotta allow 623 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 1: the women to dunk. And there's one objective thing you 624 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,760 Speaker 1: can do to allow them to dunk. Lower the rims. 625 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: We lower the rims. What are you doing? Oh? This 626 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: is the W this game, don't you dare? Oh, go 627 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,920 Speaker 1: out there and lower the rims? Who you think we are? 628 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: You don't think we're good enough, you don't think we're 629 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 1: capable enough. You're done lower the rims. Why you ain't 630 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: got a smaller ball? Why because you're aready brought to 631 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: three point line in Why because the game's already shorter. 632 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 1: You've already made compromises to the objective standard of what 633 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: the NBA is. And there's one you're missing, that glaring 634 00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:30,279 Speaker 1: omission of the rims. Let's start here nine and a half, 635 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: and you imagine, I don't know, brittany grinder just drop 636 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:41,399 Speaker 1: step banging in traffic all game loan, not just breakaways, 637 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:45,000 Speaker 1: not just here and there, I mean all game long. 638 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: And if we don't get enough people that can bang 639 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,800 Speaker 1: at nine and a half, I dare say bring it 640 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: to nine, and I know, damn well, all of a sudden, 641 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 1: Kenny Parker and all him why And with that exclamation point, 642 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: I swear you have your greatest fit of the w 643 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: NBA's game, because then all of a sudden you're gonna 644 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,560 Speaker 1: have greater audiences, greater viewership, greater attendance, greater fascination of 645 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 1: watching people do what we can't do at home. Being real, 646 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: I can't dunk right now. I could dunk in my heyday, 647 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: and that wasn't even fancy. It was just a dunk. 648 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: I could jump hard, I just couldn't dunk. It wasn't 649 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: that coordinated. So I was always fascinated with dunkers. But 650 00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: I am not fascinated with a woman dribbling all the 651 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: way down court and then doing an underhand layup, or 652 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: even an overhand layup or any layup at the end 653 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,160 Speaker 1: of this sentence is a layup that is not an 654 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: exclamation point, and that is not going to captivate viewers 655 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: to watch this game. It all is connected. Every sport 656 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:48,640 Speaker 1: has an exclamation point that we vicariously lived through and 657 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,440 Speaker 1: say that's it. Oh, I wish I could do that, 658 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 1: but that's not the w NBA and that's why sports 659 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,719 Speaker 1: that we know we can do ain't really that caught 660 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 1: up in it. Right, who's watching billiards and bowling like that. 661 00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: We're not because we can do that. I go to 662 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,480 Speaker 1: damn David Buster's lucky strike or something, pull off me 663 00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,200 Speaker 1: a two hundred game. And sometimes you watch those guys 664 00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: in the finals they won at two oh six to twelve, like, man, 665 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 1: I'm close to that. You gotta have that gap between 666 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,880 Speaker 1: what you can do and they can do. Now, let 667 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: me tell you how those conversations went with those two 668 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: mount rushmoores. When I said it, they were not happy. 669 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,720 Speaker 1: They were like, dude, that's just insulting. But they didn't 670 00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,920 Speaker 1: really have an answer to when I said, but it's 671 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: not insulting to have a smaller ball. It's not insulting 672 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,920 Speaker 1: to have a closer three point line, not insulting to 673 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: have a shorter game. I think we gotta take the 674 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: emotions out of this. Just try exhibition style, Harlem globe, 675 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: try to style whatever you want to call it. Three gang. 676 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 1: Just let them banging nine and let us just see 677 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: what that looks like. Guarantee you it's gonna be captivating. 678 00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: The last thing that I had a conversation about was 679 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: how tough it is for the w NBA player. Think 680 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: about it. These are mothers, These are wives who have 681 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,640 Speaker 1: to uproot their family because not only are they playing 682 00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,640 Speaker 1: in different cities, but they have to play year round 683 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: to make the money that's necessary to support their lifestyle, 684 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: which means they have to play overseas. And boy are 685 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,959 Speaker 1: they unhappy about that. You imagine playing in the w NBA, 686 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: playing for months and months and then all of a sudden, Oh, 687 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 1: they really make money. You gotta go to Russia, really 688 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: make money, Gotta go overseas, huh, And even that money 689 00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 1: pales in comparison to the men crazy, But if they 690 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: were banging. I'm not saying this to fix all, cure all, 691 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 1: but I'm saying it's certainly gonna close the gap. So 692 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: they were like, dog, you have no idea. It's not 693 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: just the fact that we're more popular and doing better 694 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 1: now with Nils in college, but also we gotta go 695 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: now volunteer for year round basketball just to make some 696 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: real money. So as I sit here with two little 697 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: ones that I'm like, the more options, the more opportunities, 698 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: the better. Let's address this one. Because WNBA is being 699 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: subsidized by the NBA, and I don't think it needs 700 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,479 Speaker 1: to be that way, or at least one last hell 701 00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,760 Speaker 1: married ditch effort to actually throw a hell married basketball's version. 702 00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,400 Speaker 1: Let's make sure these women can end those plays with 703 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: a bang. All right, y'all, y'all know how we end 704 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,839 Speaker 1: this show every day with a wildly is Froggy's back? 705 00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: Here we go?
