I'm doing it. Let's do it together, all right, y'all. 76 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: Now let's talk about something that's been great and doing 77 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: it together for a long time. It's the TNT crew 78 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: versus the ESPNS NBA crew, and we know the difference. 79 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: Let's just be real about that. And my mama, Michelle 80 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: Beatlem Mama BE explains why TNT dominates ESPN in NBA coverage. 81 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: I ain't expect this article today, but let's talk through it, right. 82 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: So we know that ESPN's NBA coverage next season, she's 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna look a little different than it did the year before, 84 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: years before, because they always seem like they have some turnover, 85 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: especially after this round of layoffs that included Jeff Van 86 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: Gundy and Mark Jackson. He gone too, that's crazy. So 87 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: Michelle Beadle had to speak out and say, that's why 88 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: TNT is dominating ESPN and their NBA coverage. Now, she 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: was one of the hosts, as we know many of them, 90 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: but one of the hosts of the NBA Countdown from 91 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen to twenty nineteen before leaving the company entirely 92 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. Yep, she did the same thing as 93 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: Max Yup. They all just left me on Sports Nation. 94 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: What am I to do? They leave me? They all 95 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: went to greener pastors and now hopefully even greener pastors. Right. So, 96 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,119 Speaker 1: she had an interview on where she was talking about 97 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,040 Speaker 1: people at NBA Countdown ESPN. They've never been given a quote, 98 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: a chance to marinate. She says that position that show 99 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: has never been allowed to marinate, and it's sort of 100 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: why you continue to see change so unfortunate, and it's 101 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: why TNT dominates because they're allowed to marinate for decades 102 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 1: and the product gets better with year after year. So 103 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: that's my simple take on what I observed while I 104 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: was there at ESPN. Now you can certainly understand where 105 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: she's coming from when she talks about that, because she 106 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: was hosting the NBA Countdown. TNT been having pretty much 107 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: the same crew. There been five that we could count 108 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: right now, let's count them out. How many people don't 109 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: hosted that show? Mama Beads yup, Maria Taylor, yup? Say 110 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: still yep, doors Burg got a doors Burg, got a 111 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: dose of it? Yep. Hannah Storm, I forgot that damn 112 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: hand ah Storm. Even man, that's too much turnover. I 113 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: don't give it. Damn. How talented they all are, and 114 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: they're all women too, that's interesting. I guess I wouldn't 115 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: say that if there were men. Huh, slap on you, 116 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: Marcel's shame on you. But they You ain't seen no 117 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: men hosting the WNBA Countdown show. So I got back 118 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,599 Speaker 1: at y'all, all right, So they're no longer employed with 119 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: the company or simply are involved in the show. Many 120 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: of them, Maria, all of them gone, Maria gone from 121 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 1: the network. Sage's still there, but she's suing the network. 122 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,559 Speaker 1: Doors just got a promotion. Beat's gone. Hand a storm 123 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: still there, had a storm been there longer than Chris 124 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: Berman hand a store in the building for a minute. 125 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: Salute to her, all right, But then you flip the 126 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 1: script and you look at TNT. Same old dudes, same 127 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: old tups. I mean, Shaq joined them in twenty eleven, 128 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: but it's the same og. That's it. It's Ernie, Charles Barkley, 129 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: Shack of course, and Kenny Smith bow legged himself. So 130 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: you look at it now, there's gonna be some more 131 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: turnover because Jaylen Rose was on that show. Now he's 132 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: gone as well. So it's a question what is going 133 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: on at ESPN's show versus what's going on at TNT show. 134 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: It's pretty much simple. It's pretty much this one is 135 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: chasing the other. So therefore, if you look at it, 136 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: they think TMT is the perfect model. They think what 137 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: TNT is doing is it. That's the gold standard. We 138 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: all agree with that, but you gotta be careful when 139 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: you set something as the standard, you set something as 140 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 1: the model. You say something it's perfect. Oh. I mean, look, 141 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: every time I watch EAT coverage, I will admit I'm like, damn, 142 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: it's hard to do better than that. It's just because 143 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: they got the random already calculated. It seemed like like 144 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: you caught that random calculated. Like this stuff is organized, 145 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: organized confusion, right, orchestrated, but still skillfully done. It's like, oh, 146 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: you think just Barkley just went off the rails, but 147 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: they kind of was like, you got the room to 148 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 1: go off the rails, and then Sha could go. Then 149 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: they'll go at each other shack and shut them down 150 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: with the ring conversation. They'll just come back next segment 151 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: they homies again. And you think that's the perfect thing. 152 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: But when you're ESPN, you're chasing that, and since you're 153 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: not able to catch that, you're always chasing that. That 154 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: means your job is never done. So your work is 155 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: never done. So therefore you're never done chasing and trying 156 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: new things because you're trying to close that gap. They 157 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: always say, if you're striving for perfection, your work is 158 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 1: never done because you're never gonna be perfect. And let's 159 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: be real, T and T is not perfect, even though 160 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: it's the closest damn thing we got to it. Now 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: we got problems because now you've got esp with all 162 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: this turnover, always trying to catch something. One day may catch, 163 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: but you'll never catch it. This way, You'll never just 164 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,479 Speaker 1: keep turning over, keep turning over, not allowing relationships to blossom. 165 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: Just sitting there saying that's the skill set we need, 166 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: let it develop. It will never happen. This carousel characters 167 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: has proven that you'll never close that gap. But I 168 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: think in their minds, I just frankly just think they're 169 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: trying to be something they're not. That's why you shouldn't 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: compete against somebody else. What's our saying on this show 171 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: likes a competition between you and yourself. Work on your craft, 172 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: work on your show, and make sure it's the best show. 173 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: Stop trying to chase and compare yourself to that because 174 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: it seems like you're never gonna catch it. Bo ba 175 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,719 Speaker 1: bo bah bah bah ah. That's tough. That's tough. Good 176 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: luck with y'all. Good luck to y'all for that one 177 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: swag away Friday, y'all can get that book. Never shut 178 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: up from me, that's who. But let's get into Dan Patrick, 179 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: my dog who wasn't himself at ESPN. He says, I 180 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: was what corporate wanted. You're that I was what corporate wanted. Wow. So, 181 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: nearly sixteen years to the today, since partner ways with ESPN, 182 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick can reflect on a move and be proud. Ooh, 183 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: that's nasty of his decision to break free of the 184 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: World Wide Leader. All right. So he was having an 185 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 1: interview he on his four year left to and he 186 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: just signed a four year extension. I ain't the one 187 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: to be guessing, but I think I know who signed 188 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 1: that big mega deal and it wasn't Peyton Manning. So 189 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say anyway, remember I told you all about 190 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: that a few weeks ago. So during the interview, he 191 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: was talking about his career and reflecting on his time 192 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: back in the days when he was the man on 193 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: Sports Center and radio at ESPN, and he said it 194 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: wasn't until he left ESPN that he was able to 195 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: hone his skills as a radio host. I find that interesting. 196 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk through it. I don't think I knew how 197 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,839 Speaker 1: to be a radio host at ESPN because I was 198 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: still representing ESPN. Oh, I wanted to make sure that 199 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: I was being professional and therefore not taking chances. I 200 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: kind of was going through the motions of radio making 201 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: sure I didn't upset anybody. Wow, I was the ultimate 202 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: ESPN employee. I was what corporate wanted, and I didn't 203 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: want to color outside the lines. I just wanted to 204 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: do the right thing. And then I realized I wasn't 205 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 1: having fun. After about four teen years, I kind of 206 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: hit a glass ceiling and I thought, well, this isn't 207 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: my personality. But I was almost playing somebody on radio 208 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: or playing somebody on TV. WHOA, let's talk about that. Man. 209 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 1: You ever been caught up in that situation? Obviously you 210 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: know I have some experiences with this. Mine wasn't so 211 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: much playing a role because I this is one thing 212 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: I did know. I didn't think that I was how 213 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 1: do I say it, the I didn't think I deserved 214 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 1: to be in the front of the line to be 215 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: a broadcaster, as I was in the front of the 216 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: line when I retired. I didn't know. I mean, I 217 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: knew I wasn't a Hall of Fame football player. And 218 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: at that time two thousand and six, they basically were like, 219 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: if you're a Hall of Famer, you got a job. 220 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: If you're not get in line, but I ain't have 221 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: to get in line. I was like, wow, that's weird. 222 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: I knew that Columbia helped, let's be real, but I 223 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: was like, I know that my football career didn't help 224 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: as much. So I'm like hmmm. And then when I 225 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: was in the front of the line, I was like, 226 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: what is this? But I knew from the front of 227 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: the line that I could not be a broadcaster. I said, 228 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna last ten ten days in this thing 229 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: if I go out there and do this, Hello, and 230 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,839 Speaker 1: welcome to your next episode of Sports Nation. Like if 231 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: I came with that, I was like, One, that ain't me. Two, 232 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 1: nobody trying to see that again because that's what everybody 233 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: is trying to do. I didn't want to have that 234 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: mannequin type of speak. I didn't want to be that guy. 235 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I'm always gonna be me and if 236 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: that works, that works. If it doesn't, well it didn't 237 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: work for y'all, but it's gonna work somewhere because I 238 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: am me and that is unique, right. So I've always 239 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: owned like my uniqueness, you know, and I don't think 240 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people do or like Dan is saying 241 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: took him a second or a minute, or an hour 242 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 1: or a day. It took him a while to get 243 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: to it. But I want to encourage people out there 244 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: to get to theirs as well, because that's what's gonna 245 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: set you apart. Like that's the only thing, literally you 246 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 1: walking in the door. The first and probably the only 247 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: thing that's gonna separate you from everybody is owning that voice. 248 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: And I ain't talking about no voice like you could 249 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: pop off all the time. I'm talking about you have 250 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: a unique way of digesting information and a unique way 251 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 1: of communicating information. You have a unique way of looking 252 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: at the world. You have a unique way of giving 253 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: the world what you have. Like those are the things 254 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: you're supposed to keep on holding on to and making 255 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: sure you go out there and show the world. Dan 256 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: Patrick said it took him a second or so to 257 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 1: do that, all right, So he got this big personality 258 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: we all know, we've all seen it now doing the 259 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,839 Speaker 1: big deals and doing everything he does right now. But 260 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: we also remember him there and we're like, there is 261 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 1: a difference, right, And then you're like, oh, snap, Colin Greenberg, 262 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: Mike and Mike, Oh difference. So this article was trying 263 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: to take it to a place respectfully that maybe he 264 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: had something to do with where he was like, ESPN 265 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: was a bigger brand, such a big brand that it's 266 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: stifled some of his talent, made his talent and feel 267 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 1: a certain way. Well, that may be true, but last 268 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: time I checked, a brand never speaks. You know how 269 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: it speaks. It speaks, It speaks to his culture. You 270 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: know how it speaks to his culture by those things 271 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: that are rewarded and by those who are enforcers of 272 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: that culture. So sometimes you can walk in the situation 273 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: and you're thinking, oh, man, you're shrinking because you're intimidated 274 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: by what it is or you know how big it is. 275 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: But in reality it's kind of on you because why 276 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: won't you stand up to it? Now. This is back 277 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: in the days though, where it was law that don't 278 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: get bigger than ESPN or you won't be at ESPN, right, 279 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: So maybe it was some of that he just read 280 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: the room was like, yeah, let me take a little 281 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: hot sauce off of this. We got a lot of 282 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: ads to sail around here. Make sure I can get 283 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: those soul. But it is interesting that there was a 284 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: blueprint at one time where they were all in the radio. 285 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: They were all into their big guests, they were all 286 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: into their big hosts, they were all into having big shows. 287 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: And it seems like even now with the news that 288 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: McAfee won't be doing radio at least this year, it's 289 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 1: like that ain't the way. That's not the future, or 290 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: at least the near future. So dan Patrick also said 291 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: that Howard Stern does it the best way, kind of 292 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: like how he does it and simulates it with the 293 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: dan Nets, like they do their thing, and it's just 294 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: about being yourself, isn't it crazy? Like me now being 295 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: in this position. The two things that feel different are 296 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 1: the topics, like I can really like needle something. I'm like, 297 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 1: I want to talk about that, right instead of like, 298 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta talk broader on the big shows, right. 299 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: And the other thing is I don't have a teammate. 300 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't have a co host. I hated that shit, 301 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 1: not them, it I hated it, not them? Why it? 302 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: Because Man, sometimes I'm just doing a topic and now 303 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: I gotta do you too, I gotta deal with you, 304 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: like what you're talking about. Nobody, nobody agrees with that, 305 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 1: nobody believes that you know all that kind of stuff. Man, 306 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 1: it just got a overwhelming at like dog stop lying. 307 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: But you know, everyone is trying to inject fuel into 308 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: their career in different ways, different fuels, different octanes. Right, 309 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 1: So some of my co hosts would inject some fuel 310 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: that I ain't want to really burn because I ain't 311 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: want to go where they were going. I ain't want 312 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 1: to burn up the gas doing that. But they might 313 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: have said the same thing about me. But one thing 314 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: about Dad Patrick that I do know in due respect, 315 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: is that, oh man, it's tremendous courage. Once he was 316 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: out on his own, he not only said, I'm a 317 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: bet on me, but I'm gonna build me up. But 318 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna build myself into an empire. Empire, y'all listen 319 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: to me again. Empire like for real, sucker, their printing money. 320 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: So it's a beautiful thing to just see that sometimes 321 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: the unintended consequences can benefit you. We talked about this yesterday, right, 322 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: It looks like an unintended consequences, brock Purty. Look where 323 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: you find that. That comes from the fact that maybe 324 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: Trey Lance is good or maybe he's not good. We'll 325 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: figure it out. Another unintended consequence so you just gotta 326 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: bet on yourself. Even when it seems like there are 327 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: no more chips to be played. You still got your hand, 328 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: you still got your cards.

So that's who that is. 578 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: Can we just move on? Hackett was a bad head 579 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: coach and Peyton shouldn't have said what he said to 580 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: a U Say Today reporter, or he should have and 581 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 1: just say, hey, welcome to the new era, this new media, 582 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 1: new head coaching for real.

They tell you 585 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: to accomplish and achieve or sind and then when you 586 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: get up there, you gotta be mute, you can.

If I can say it, 592 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Y'all get the point. So 593 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,720 Speaker 1: here we go, shocking Doctor J in their top ten 594 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: list Shack List, Why I don't agree with it. I 595 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: understand that Doctor J list is the epitome of get 596 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,760 Speaker 1: off my lawn. You don't have Tim Duncan on the list, 597 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 1: and the only flaw on Duncan's championship run is his 598 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: loss to Lebron. Oh yeah, Lebron not being in your 599 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: top ten? Hate them or love him is ridiculous. Don't 600 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,600 Speaker 1: care if he's still playing. He's twenty years in ay Man, 601 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: what you just said right there? Like Doctor J list, 602 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: I don't like to say nobody lives wrong, but that 603 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: one's the farthest from being right. Het J was set tripping, 604 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: as they say in them screeks. Bird is definitely top ten. 605 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad Shack included Duncan in his top ten. He's 606 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: often left off this list, but he's the greatest power 607 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 1: forward ever. Yeah, he didn't do enough marketing for himself. Right. 608 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: It's kind of the same thing they say about Ray 609 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: Lewis versus London Fletcher. They say, if you look at 610 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 1: their stats side by side, you'd be like blind taste tests. 611 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: You're like London Fletcher was out there what but he 612 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,719 Speaker 1: did do the marketing like ray Lewis did. Ay, ray 613 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: Lewis is better than the beast, but still don't lack 614 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: like London Fletcher Wasn't that dude either. All right, here's 615 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: a member of comment right here on the trade Lance 616 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: really struggling at dab off dab off.

But unfortunately the Niners 654 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 1: offense doesn't use the long ball very much. Oh that 655 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 1: sucks because girls love the long ball. He would be 656 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: a better fit elsewhere. He is young, and I believe 657 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: if he finds the right fit, he can do pretty good. 658 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: All right, I'll give you that. I'm hearing conflicting reports. 659 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: One report that I read yesterday said the boy ain't 660 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: looking that good. Then I hear a lot of local 661 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: media saying he looks great well, local media, national media. 662 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 1: Whoever he dated Collins' daughter. Here's the thing, we gonna 663 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: get an answer. We can stop guessing real soon, these 664 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: games gonna get real, These bullets gonna be live, and 665 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna see what he really about if he gets 666 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: the opportunity, and they're gonna put their best foot forward. 667 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 1: So if he's the man, he's gonna go out there 668 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: and start. Let's see that last one is Trey Lance 669 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: is actually the best looking quarterback right now. See what 670 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: I'm saying, don't let the national media fool you. Just 671 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: pay attention to the local media. Who has been at 672 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 1: all six practices so far he had one bad practice 673 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,320 Speaker 1: out of six. I really can't understand why the national 674 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 1: media wants the kid to fail too badly. Almost makes 675 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,840 Speaker 1: you want to believe race is involved. Well it's not race. 676 00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:07,359 Speaker 1: I mean, look just white quarterbacks that they've looked at 677 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 1: and be like, oh he sucks. Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold 678 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,239 Speaker 1: comes to mind of recent history. I mean, they just 679 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: looking for a story. So if we expect you to 680 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: be here and you are here, that ain't much a story. 681 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,479 Speaker 1: You the same old dude, Oh whoa, oh and breaking news. 682 00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: A tomato is a tomato and it's still red, now 683 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Versus like a tomato all 684 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden is like black but sweet and square. 685 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,399 Speaker 1: You're like, whoa, what happened to that tomato? Right? That's 686 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,120 Speaker 1: what happens to you. You come in and you highly touted, 687 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:40,959 Speaker 1: you fall off, or we see something wrong with your game. 688 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: Media is just gonna attack that race on that one 689 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,160 Speaker 1: kind of simple, kind of lazy right there, big dog, 690 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: I ain't man, all right, just get into some deer 691 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,280 Speaker 1: or damn dad, dude. This is my newest favorite segment 692 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,960 Speaker 1: right here, because it's pretty nice. Y'all could come at 693 00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 1: me if you want to, if you up to it, 694 00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: if you bout that life home Boy the Er Roads. 695 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 1: Dwayne Rhodes, that's his name. He's a member. So love 696 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 1: to your big Dog, appreciate. He said, when what your 697 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 1: love becomes your occupation? Do they teach about that transition? Okay, 698 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try and figure out what the hell you're 699 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,319 Speaker 1: talking about. Nah, he said, Hey, they talking about like 700 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: loving what you do and then what's next that you're 701 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: gonna love to do. I'm assuming that's what you mean. Well, 702 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: we all are equipped with more than just one skill set, 703 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: more than one level of expertise. The thing is, in 704 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: this world, the challenge is is I always tell people 705 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 1: about identity. It's not what you're gonna become. You gotta 706 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 1: start off by saying what you're not going to be. 707 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 1: And a lot of people want to say, ah, I'm 708 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: gonna be, I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be. But what 709 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 1: you're not gonna be is gonna show you a lot 710 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,200 Speaker 1: of who you are and who you're gonna become, because 711 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: you gotta start eliminating stuff right. A lot of times, 712 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:58,879 Speaker 1: once you get to one thing, you haven't eliminated enough 713 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: other things to no clue what that one thing is 714 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,840 Speaker 1: and more poorly, what the next thing is. So a 715 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: lot of athletes don't have their plan b in toe 716 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: because they saw they were just so focused on I'm 717 00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: gonna be a baller. I was like, all right, let's 718 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: try this another way. What don't you want to be? 719 00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: Oh man, sure, I don't want on nine to five. 720 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: That's very vague. Be vague here, And that's my point, Like, 721 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,799 Speaker 1: it's okay to go through the process of thought, process 722 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: of trying to find your past shuns up, not just 723 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: your past shun Okay, last one at Marcel's what's your 724 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: top ten?

Maybe you want to know my top 727 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: ten in basketball? It's crazy everybody always want to know 728 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: my top ten and rap because I DJ all right 729 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: basketball my top ten Lebron James Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson 730 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: Wilt Chamberlain. Damn, I only got four kareem. Five kareem 731 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 1: should be higher. Duncan uh yaiy uh.

Kevin Durant seven, Steph Curry, Hey, 734 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:24,359 Speaker 1: who am I forgetting? Karl Malone nine? Kobe I'm not lying, y'all. 735 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: Kobe's ten, nine or eleven. He's between nine and eleven. 736 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: Kobe's in there, though. Throw Kobe in there, then I'm 737 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: gonna get slapped in the back of the head. Someone 738 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 1: like you forgot.

You 805 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 1: found yourself in this hole. Right, So that's one level 806 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 1: of it. Like it's okay, you can't see right now. 807 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,280 Speaker 1: It's like when the kid gets hurt, kids hyper ventilate. 808 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,680 Speaker 1: God dunt if I see another kid and like he 809 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:44,359 Speaker 1: about to die because he tripped and failed.
