15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: It is midnight, it is.

16
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 4: It was crazy.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 5: I was driving over the Dodger game and I said

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 5: to my friends of the car, I'm like, I feel

19
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 5: I just need to look very forward.

20
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 4: Oh, I can't let anything to start insane. I forget

21
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 4: it's legal.

22
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: We have cities in Los Angeles where it is legal

23
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: to like these insane fireworks. I also can't believe Tracy

24
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: was at the Dodger game last night.

25
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 3: Absolute beat down. We can just forget about yesterday.

26
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: Didn't you stayed till the end. I did to watch

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 2: the fireworks. I literally was watching on TV. I was like,

28
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how many fans are going to sit

29
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: through this absolute beat down.

30
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 3: You were one of those fans.

31
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 5: And there were more people than you'd think, I think

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 5: because of the fireworks and it being fourth of July.

33
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: But my friends I were gonna leave it.

34
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 5: We were like, well, stay till the seventh and then

35
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 5: at that point I was like, you know what, it's

36
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 5: the fourth of July.

37
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 4: We've made it this far. Let's say for the fireworks

38
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: we did.

39
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: Can I just say, like to the point, like when

40
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: you decide to put a position player on the mound,

41
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,919
Speaker 2: what there has to be some sort of thing.

42
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 3: In baseball where we can just call it.

43
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: Because that's like, I agree, that's like throwing in the towel,

44
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: that's waven the white flag, like you have officially given

45
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: up and said, oh, we're not going to be able

46
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: to come back at that point, there should be a Okay,

47
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 2: tap tap, I'm out it. Let's just call it what

48
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: it is right now, because now, like, what are you doing.

49
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: You're literally just trying to finish the game, but you're

50
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: putting a position player throwing like a toss, a forty

51
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: mile per hour toss, Like it's something needs to change there.

52
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: Baseball's been so great about like updating their rules and

53
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: like evolving the game. I'm just throwing it out there

54
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,239
Speaker 2: that needs to be something they need to do too.

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: I agree.

56
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 5: You know, if you have to pitch a full five

57
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 5: innings for to get a win, a full five innings

58
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 5: if it starts raining, but you get the five ins,

59
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 5: it's a game.

60
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 4: I say, by the fifth inning, if.

61
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 5: It is eighteen to one or sixteen to one, everybody

62
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 5: should be able to agree to be like, you know what,

63
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 5: it's okay, We're going to move on with our with

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: our day and be back tomorrow.

65
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 4: Again.

66
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 2: Score doesn't matter. It's once you decide to put in

67
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 2: a position player.

68
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 4: Off that it's that moment. It's that moment, okay.

69
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: Definitely past a certain amount of innings, like say, like again,

70
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 2: like you you need what five innings to get an

71
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: official way you make your pitcher. Yeah, the seventh inning stretch.

72
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: If you get through the seventh inning stretch and you

73
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 2: decide to put a position player on the mound, call

74
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: the game. I think that it's fair call the frickin' game.

75
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 5: I do that is don't disagree with that. I think

76
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 5: they'd be great, and I'd say it on both ofs.

77
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 5: I was at a Dodger game where they were winning

78
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: fifteen to do yeah, and it was it probably would

79
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: have been best to just call the game.

80
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, just call the game. All right, guys, we have

81
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,160

00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 4: But let's start in the.

108
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 2: NBA, since the new league year officially starts tomorrow and

109
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: all these reported trades and signings will officially become official.

110
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 3: Martin and I were talking about this last weekend.

111
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: We need them to move up the official league year

112
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: to before the draft because it is ridiculous, Like, yeah,

113
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: that's weird, Like we already know that trades have happened.

114
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 3: It's already like everything's kind of done, pending.

115
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: Usually a physical, but like, just move it up before

116
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: the draft, like that's when all the big moves are happening.

117
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: Trades are happening, Like it's just it's so silly.

118
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: Okay, But we're going to start here in LA because

119
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 2: the Lakers made all kinds of moves.

120
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 3: The last few weeks really has been wild.

121
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: First, the Bus family selling the team then Lebron picking

122
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: up his player option, then Luca looking like he has

123
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: revenge body going on, and final really does oh wow,

124
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: talk about revenge. Yeah, yeah, it's chef's kiss. And then

125
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: finally the Lakers got their big man. So let's start there. Obviously,

126
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: again still waiting for everything to become officially official tomorrow,

127
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: but DeAndre Ayton has reportedly signed a two year deal

128
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. He cleared free agent see waivers Wednesday evening,

129
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: and you know that there were talks that he was

130
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: kind of really deciding between the Lakers and the Pacers.

131
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: Obviously went with the Lakers, and the big question here

132
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: is will this work. First of all, he fills a

133
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: big hole that the Lakers desperately needed that we saw

134
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 2: once we hit the playoffs.

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: It was like, oh, yeah, no, they need a big man.

136
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: Yes they do.

137
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: They had That is a hue missing piece.

138
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: But there have been a lot of reports that the

139
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 2: Blazers were tired with Ayton's behavior. He was showing up late,

140
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: skipping rehab appointments, throwing tantrums in the locker room when

141
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 2: he was benched. I can't that will not fly in La,

142
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 2: especially with Lebron, James leading that locker room that will

143
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 2: get shut down immediately.

144
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 5: It also will not fly with the new ownership group.

145
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 5: Can you look at what they've done with the Dodgers

146
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: and they're willing to move on?

147
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, no, they'll say goodbye. They'll say goodbye.

148
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 2: Luca's even fighting for his next big contract with the

149
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 2: Lakers right now.

150
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 5: When they bought when they bought the team, when Bark

151
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 5: Walder brought the team and Luca put out a statement,

152
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: I was like, oh yeah, Luke. Luca just was like okay, yep,

153
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 5: for time to And that's I think part of where

154
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 5: the revenge body is coming from.

155
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 4: It It will not fly.

156
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: No, I think maybe it would be good for him

157
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 5: to have Lebron Reportedly Luca was a big part of it.

158
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 5: They're the same a DeAndre and has really hit his

159
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 5: prime or really hasn't hit his full potential.

160
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 4: But no, that is not gonna fly here. And if

161
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 4: he's doing that, they'll just be like see you.

162
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 2: And the thing is is like now, It's a reason

163
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: this is also so interesting. He's not gonna be playing

164
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: with two absolute superstars in Lebron James and Luca, And

165
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: if Ayton blows this opportunity with big names like that

166
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: and a storied franchise like the Lakers. That's something that

167
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: will tarnish your career and your reputation. You might not

168
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: get a second chance after that. I also might be

169
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: a blindly optimistic Laker fan here, But if anyone can

170
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: influence change, it's Lebron James. I've talked about it before.

171
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: I call it the Brady and Lebron effect. When you're

172
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: playing with like all around goats, it inspires and it

173
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: elevates everyone's game around them. Your attitude is better, your

174
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: game gets better. You just want to be better at everything.

175
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: I agree with that.

176
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: I agree with that, and I think that was true

177
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 5: of Luca even when he first got to LA. Yeah,

178
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 5: he wanted not only did he want to prove him

179
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: avers leb wrong, but he wanted to be better. I

180
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 5: think we're seeing that in the off season program of

181
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 5: what we're seeing of Luca. We don't know exactly what

182
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: he's doing, but ye're seeing the results.

183
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: Dude, do you see side by side photos Though it's

184
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 2: unbelievable Loka at this time last year and Luca now, you're.

185
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: Like, oh, yeah, it's a whole.

186
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: We're going to get into that in just a moment.

187
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 2: But let's move to the next move that the Lakers

188
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: made last week or maybe really Lebron picking up his

189
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 2: fifty two point six million dollar player option. And there's

190
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: a lot to unpack here because he has a new

191
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: trade clause in his contract. But his agent, Rich paulul

192
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: came out and basically said, Lebron wants to compete for

193
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: a championship. He knows the Lakers are building for the future,

194
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: he understands that, but he values a realistic chance of

195
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: winning it all, kind of basically calling out, they're going

196
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: to be watching the moves that the Lakers make this

197
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: off season and if he didn't like or think that

198
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: they were in a win now state, the rumor mills

199
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 2: started buzzing, like, oh my gosh, is Lebron going to

200
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 2: request a trade? And then we saw him back in

201
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: Cleveland Wednesday wearing a welcome home hat while golfing.

202
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: And that again got everybody buzzing.

203
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 4: And he knows what he's doing.

204
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 5: You know.

205
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: I talked about this on the Herd, like Lebron is

206
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: a media genius. Within thirty minutes of him posting that,

207
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: we were talking about it live on National TV, Like, okay,

208
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: welcome home back in Cleveland. Obviously that's another top team.

209
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: Would he request to get traded there? Personally, I think

210
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: Lebron James is going to be a Laker next season.

211
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: He has been very vocal about how much he loves Luca.

212
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: He only got to play twenty five games with him

213
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 2: last season. Luca was coming off a calf injury, and

214
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: we saw just what happened with Aliburton when you rush

215
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: back too soon from a calf injury. Yes, now, okay,

216
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 2: when you look at lebron situation, Yes, the Lakers are

217
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 2: now under new ownership, but this is ownership that.

218
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 3: Knows how to win.

219
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: Like, yes it, Lebron's not gonna have as much control

220
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: because it's not the family friendly deal that he signed

221
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 2: up for with the Bus family.

222
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: But they did just go and get their big man.

223
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: It was the.

224
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: Best available option on the market, so they have their center.

225
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: They resigned Jackson Hayes's Aighton's backup, and then on top

226
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: of it, Luca looks insanely fit for the first time

227
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: in his career.

228
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 4: I saw a.

229
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 5: Post I was like, oh, so I love Luca. Anybody's

230
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 5: ever listened to me on the show notes. But I

231
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 5: saw a post I was like, oh, oh, hello, Luca,

232
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 5: he looks amazing, And I say that he looks amazing,

233
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 5: but the reality is he's been putting in the work.

234
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 5: I mean, arewon smoothies Perhaps I don't know, lots of

235
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: time in the gym. Who's to say, but all of

236
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 5: the things, and I think for Lebron seeing that is important.

237
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 4: To be honest, it is, that's gonna make a big difference.

238
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 2: And they're gonna have a full, healthy off season training together,

239
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: filling the holes that were needed. And you also forever

240
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: they still have Austin Reeves for another year. Lebron has

241
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: kind of been like a mentor to him, like he

242
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: saw potential in him his rookie season.

243
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 3: Said oh, and don't forget that his son is still

244
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: on the team.

245
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: So if Lebron leaves like Browny's kind of sol ye,

246
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: that's fair putting that out there. And I think the

247
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: Lakers have a legitimate chance to make a championship run

248
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: if all these pieces stay healthy.

249
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 5: And you mentioned the ownership group knowing how to win,

250
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 5: and they will do what they need to do too

251
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 5: with us, they're not afraid to be so therefore.

252
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 2: Things are like second yes to like what's it going

253
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: to take to win? Opposed to the Bus family, which

254
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: again like it was a family run business, it was

255
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: like you are family, we will take care of you forever.

256
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 2: That's number one, but will also win and try to

257
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 2: do our best to win. Along with that, this new

258
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: ownership is like no, no, no, winning is number.

259
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 5: One, number one, and they'll give them the pieces they

260
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 5: need to do. So, yeah, and then it's going to

261
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 5: be on Ayton and Lebron and Luca and Austin reeves

262
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 5: to perform with those pieces around them.

263
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: So it's going to be really interesting.

264
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 5: I think it's it's you know, bitter sweet for Lakers

265
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 5: fans in a way that the Bus family embodies the Lakers.

266
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 5: That is it does, it's it's how we've brought up

267
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 5: and like it's it's just everything. But it also opens

268
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 5: up this new era of really being able to win.

269
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 5: So if you thought people hated Lakers fans before, yeah,

270
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 5: ready people, let's go.

271
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 2: All right, Well, let's talk a little bit about Luca though,

272
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 2: because honestly, I don't understand.

273
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 3: I don't understand why he's getting so much hate.

274
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 2: This man has been a top he's getting he's been

275
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 2: a top five NBA player, and honestly, like I just

276
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: trying to wrap my head around it. I think people

277
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: are trying to make sense of the trade and they

278
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 2: still can't because it doesn't make sense. And it's that weird,

279
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 2: like if someone got dumped, there must be something wrong

280
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: with them, opposed to looking at the person who was

281
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: stupid enough to let that person go. And I think

282
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 2: that is the situation we need to focus on with Luca.

283
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: He's not the problem. No, he is not the problem.

284
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: MAVs were the problem and they were the stupid ones

285
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: to let him go. And now everybody is just trying

286
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 2: to rationalize the situation and you can't.

287
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense. And the Lakers won.

288
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 5: When Nico said that, he didn't realize how big of

289
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 5: effect it was going to have on the fans. Dad

290
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 5: told me everything I need to know about the MAVs

291
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 5: and how it's so was on them.

292
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: But what do you mean, he was your like fan

293
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 2: favorite face of the franchise, the reason people bought season tickets.

294
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 4: One hundred percent guy, mm hmmm, one hundred percent.

295
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 5: And then I think for the Lakers, and I think

296
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 5: this was maybe kind of an unfairly because the trade

297
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 5: was so shocking and such a big deal. I felt

298
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 5: like Luca this past season was basically got them to

299
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 5: where they got, Like he got them farther than I

300
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 5: think they would have.

301
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 4: Gone without him.

302
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 5: He's really he was more about the future, but he

303
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 5: got them a lot farther than they would have been

304
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 5: this year, and now it's what are we going to

305
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 5: do going forward?

306
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 4: What are we going to put around him?

307
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 5: So I always felt like the trade was a little

308
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 5: bit more the future than just then, like this season

309
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 5: getting them to a championship, because that wasn't happening.

310
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, because they gave up a lot and

311
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: there was a lot of holes to fill. Plus he

312
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: was injured the first half of the season, so it's

313
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 2: like him getting back on the court for the first

314
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: time with the Lakers was also him getting back in shape,

315
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 2: getting back in basketball shape.

316
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: You can be in good shape, but it's different game shapes.

317
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: Different, yes, than like physical working out in the gym,

318
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: Like you've got to build up the stamina.

319
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 3: You gotta like get your timing right, you gotta get that.

320
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 2: There's so much that you have to do, even chemistry wise,

321
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 2: like it we saw glimpses of greatness with Luca and

322
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 2: Lebron in that small sample size that we got of

323
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: them together. And I think that excited like your fans

324
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: because we saw like how great they could be.

325
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: But then we got a nice reality check of like.

326
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, no, there's still a lot of missing pieces

327
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: with his franchise, but when it works.

328
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 4: To watch out, it's gonna be really exciting.

329
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 2: Watch out, like and again like we're gonna get a

330
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: full blown Revenge Body season from Luca, Like if he

331
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 2: was putting up those top n when he was quote

332
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 2: not in shape. Mm hm, imagine what this season is

333
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: going to look like now that he has to prove

334
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 2: himself to new ownership and we already saw like he

335
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: put out he's been he's been actively putting stuff out

336
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: to show that he deserves to be here, full healthy offseason,

337
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: full season with Lebron, James a chip on his shoulder.

338
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: Beware, like, watch out, this is gonna be scary.

339
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 4: Can we bring back the Revenge Body show and have Luca?

340
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 5: I mean I don'ate Luca and side by side of

341
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 5: the MAVs he and Nico, and I mean I don't

00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 5: hate it.

00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: Earlier this week, Fox Sports put out their top ten

368
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 2: quarterback list. I'm gonna read it off for you, okay.

369
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 2: Number one, Josh Allen, number two, Patrick Mahomes, number three,

370
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson number four, Joe Burrow number five, Jalen Hurts

371
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: number six, Jared Goff number seven, Baker Mayfield, number eight,

372
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, number nine, Jada Daniels, and number ten Dak Press.

373
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 8: God.

374
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: I have some thoughts right off the top here, Patrick

375
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 2: Mahomes is still the number one quarterback in the league.

376
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: That is absolutely ridiculous to me to put Josh Allen

377
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: before him, who still doesn't have any Super Bowls, doesn't

378
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: have the playoff success, can't get past Patrick Mahomes in

379
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: the postseason.

380
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: Martin is like ready to chime in, he is this

381
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: are you?

382
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 2: Are you literally looking at me to to talk back

383
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 2: at me for a moment here, I saw this kind

384
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 2: of like wave his hand like that.

385
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 3: That to me is like number one.

386
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 8: What I was saying, I was telling Ian put this

387
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 8: on the list from my show.

388
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 5: Then yeah, but you're gonna have to wait to hear

389
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 5: You'll have to wait to hear him.

390
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

391
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: That to me is just like.

392
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 4: No.

393
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: And then the other one is Matthew Stafford needs to

394
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 2: be in the top ten, having justin Herbert and Dak

395
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: who don't have any playoff success, even Jared Goff over

396
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford who won a super Bowl just a few

397
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,840
Speaker 2: years ago. Go I think Goff is a little high

398
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: here at six as well, if we're going to go

399
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: on there, and then Dak at ten best quarterback. He's

400
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: also the highest paid quarterback, but I don't think he's

401
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: better than brock Purty. And I am just going to

402
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: preach this from the rooftop. You guys, put some respect

403
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 2: on brock Perty's name. Just because he was a last

404
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: pick in the draft does not take away from what

405
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 2: he has done in his first few seasons in the league.

406
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 2: Just reminding everybody, mister irrelevant last week in the draft,

407
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 2: third string quarterback and in his first two seasons, came in,

408
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 2: took his team to the championship game, got injuries which

409
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: is why they lost, then took his team to the

410
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,679
Speaker 2: super Bowl the next season. Last year was a wash

411
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 2: with all of the injuries.

412
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 5: But excuse me, it's what I thought when I looked

413
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 5: at this what I thought that one hundred percent on

414
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 5: Dak because what and then I thought same thing with

415
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert and Baker Mayfield. And I'm not take athy

416
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 5: away from their talent. But at the end of the day,

417
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 5: when you look back on a career, here's your a fan.

418
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah you're a fan.

419
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 5: Let's say you're a fan of the Chargers and you're like, well,

420
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 5: we never want a thing. But that's Justin Herbert's arm talent.

421
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 5: That was elite and that's enough for me. Absolutely not.

422
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 3: You can't.

423
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 5: So you have to have brock Party in this top ten,

424
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 5: whether people like it or not. I'll take maybe gofsel High.

425
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 5: He's been to a Super Bowl. He's I'm willing to give,

426
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 5: but you're right, Stafford should be in here.

427
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 4: But I take umbrage.

428
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say that I take umbrage with Dak being

429
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 5: in here over brock Party.

430
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah no, that's not even like all those guys over

431
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford. Yep, like a Super Bowl winning quarterback who

432
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 2: again last year showed that he is still an elite quarterback.

433
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: They were a play away from going to the NFL

434
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 2: Championship Game over the Super Bowl champs over and then

435
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes is still number one.

436
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 9: Do either of you find it premature to put Jade

437
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 9: and Daniels already. Yeah, ten because you saw this last

438
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 9: like this always happens, right last year, everyone would before

439
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 9: the season, everyone was praising CJ.

440
00:19:58,760 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Sound and then c J.

441
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 4: Stroud, this happens.

442
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: It happens.

443
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 5: Almost every strade went to Ohio State, so that was

444
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 5: to be expected.

445
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: And everyone, I'm just saying, I could have.

446
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: Told you how many Michigan people we have in here, right,

447
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 2: I never beat Michigan.

448
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: And then Tracy, Yeah, everybody.

449
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 9: I have no loyalty on what happens in the Mitten.

450
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 9: And I just happened to know the thought processes.

451
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you for getting it. It's just it's

452
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 4: just wild.

453
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: And then when you look at like the top ten

454
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 2: highest paid quarterbacks based on like the contract average, top ten, again,

455
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: like a lot of this determines like when you got

456
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: your contract. But the fact that like Dak is number

457
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: one obviously, Joe Burrow number two, deserved yes, tied with

458
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: Jordan Leve, Trevor Lawrence, Josh Allen deserved TUA at six

459
00:20:54,800 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 2: seven as Jared Goff tied with Brock Party both deserved nine.

460
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 2: Herbert he's talented, well, see does Lamar Jackson at ten deserve.

461
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts eleven deserved. Patrick Mahomes isn't even a top

462
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 2: paid quarterback. I mean that has to do with when

463
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: he signed his contract, and he did a team friendly

464
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: deal when he did it.

465
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: But again, the fact that Dak is.

466
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: Number ten on top ten quarterbacks, number one on highest

467
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 2: paid quarterbacks, has nothing to show for it and is

468
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,359
Speaker 2: up there above.

469
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 5: And his new coach said he's in his developmental lids.

470
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: So as the top paid quarterback in the NFL, no

471
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,480

543
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,440

544
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 2: Dodgers Stadium and explain what that environment was like once

545
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 2: he finally threw that final strike.

546
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 11: Oh, it was. It was like a spectacle. It was

547
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 11: a like a Broadway show. Mesh hollywo. I mean, it

548
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 11: was like the intipation was just beautiful. On top of that,

549
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 11: I mean, there were so many things to talk about

550
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 11: when we talk about Kersher. He grew up here. He

551
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 11: came up as a kid who was a wild I mean,

552
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 11: he was a kid that couldn't throw strikes. I remember

553
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 11: for years, you know, even when I was with the Angels,

554
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 11: I always kept into you know, obviously base was you know,

555
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 11: I was like, Hey, Dad, who's this kid Kersher? They'll

556
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 11: talk about He's like they're like they saying, like he's

557
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 11: the next Sandy Colfax. I'm like what And before you

558
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 11: know it, he's got better numbers than Sandy Colprix. Undoubtedly

559
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 11: to me, the best picture in Dougie's history. We consider

560
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 11: everything that he's done for eighteen years, same uniform, three

561
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,239
Speaker 11: thousand punch outs and just the winner. I got think

562
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 11: it goes out there to win. And then in modern

563
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 11: in modern day baseball, by the way, when it comes

564
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 11: to Eras says that I was implemented back in nineteen thirteen,

565
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 11: he's got the best era.

566
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 8: Ever.

567
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 11: I mean, it's like one thing, but the environment here

568
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 11: was like anticipation and it was like tension right there,

569
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 11: was like when is it going to happen? And then

570
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 11: it's like, oh my god, he's not gonna get strike out,

571
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 11: like he's going to The White Shirts are swinging the back,

572
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 11: they're making contact.

573
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 3: I mean, they're like it's not going to be me.

574
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 4: They're not going to do it against me. You're like

575
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 4: literally throwing the bat at the ball.

576
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 11: There, and I mean they were smoking on baseball and

577
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 11: I'm like, oh, his stuff doesn't look all that great,

578
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 11: but that needs to happen here at home, because I remember

579
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 11: his previous outing. He was he pitchs in Denver. Yeah,

580
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 11: like sixty nine pitches, you know, throwing sixty nine and

581
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 11: Denver's like throwing eighty nine somewhere else, right, yeah, but man,

582
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 11: and then we go, Okay, he's got to get as

583
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 11: happened here? You know his next is going to be

584
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 11: like at me walk in, like no, I needs happened here,

585
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 11: And before you know it, she comes out in the sixteen.

586
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 11: I was like, oh, really, the crowds like is coming,

587
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 11: but these guys are not striking out? What's going on?

588
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 11: Before you know it, Oh my god, I got to

589
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 11: call that strike er. And I will never forget that

590
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 11: moment because it was like, oh pause, the silence and

591
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 11: then the eruption was it was really it was magical.

592
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 5: Someone on this broadcast may have cried I don't want

593
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: to name names, but that someone is me.

594
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: I might cry out, yeah, thinking about it was so special.

595
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: The craziest part is I have so many friends there

596
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 2: and like obviously they didn't know if he was coming

597
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 2: back out, and I was at home listening to the

598
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: broadcast and I've text him. I was like, Okay, confirmed, Roberts,

599
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: Like I said, he's going to go back out for

600
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: the for the next inning, and what an emotional rollercoaster too,

601
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: because the monthly injury happens at that same at bass

602
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: so yeah.

603
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: So kick this out.

604
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 11: So he's at uh liten ninety two pitches after five, right, yeah,

605
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 11: and the monthly injury happens a cost ceiling. Yeah, and

606
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 11: and then coincidentally who comes into the game, kick Hernan.

607
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 11: And as I'm describing this moment, I'm going, well, I

608
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 11: just recently talked to k about this. How many times

609
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 11: has he been a big moment's buying Kershel? I said, well,

610
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 11: this is not coincidence. Let me just say, I'll go

611
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 11: really bad for Max Mounsey, but yeah, she is going

612
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 11: to be part of this moment. I told myself, Yeah,

613
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 11: he's going to be part of this. Kurt is going

614
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 11: to get that strike out, and like this is coincident?

615
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 11: Is no? No, no, this has got incidents, as we say,

616
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 11: but is Kurshel. There's peak of that connection once again,

617
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 11: heath on the mount. He kind comes into the game

618
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 11: because of the injury and the number three thousand halfs.

619
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 11: I'm like, there it is right there. What a beautiful

620
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 11: what a beautiful evening. His last pitch, his last batter,

621
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 11: one hundred pitches, on the mark and his curshel in

622
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 11: style fifty three thousand plus. It was just beautiful and

623
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 11: for him to admire the fans and know it and

624
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 11: act even in my after the game that he doesn't

625
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 11: get too cut up in the moments like the fans

626
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 11: are plotting or things in video boards. But he goes,

627
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 11: I had to. I couldn't. I could not do it.

628
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 11: And then Freddy Freeman and the Sun kept reminding him, hey,

629
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 11: you're you're you're eight away, you're twenty eweven, and I

630
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 11: know what was going on, but we're so happy for him,

631
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 11: and he wants to keep pitching, not just to get

632
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 11: this in three thousand, but he wants to win.

633
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

634
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 5: Well, and Freddy Freeman, you bring that up. He hits

635
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 5: the game winning run.

636
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 4: It just it was.

637
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 5: You could not have scripted it better if unless taking

638
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 5: out the monthy injury, you could not have scripted better

639
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 5: as like a true Hollywood ending.

640
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 4: It was. It was perfection.

641
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 11: They were losing in that game, yeah, and would have

642
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 11: been the losing picture. Yeah yeah, but I mean a

643
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 11: team that really happened scuffling about the White Sox and

644
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 11: they came in and they put the best effort. You know,

645
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 11: the best thing about that was really if you think about,

646
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 11: you know, and retrospect going the White Sox did not

647
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 11: come here to go, you know what. Let's just they

648
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 11: came here to fight, and they come here to say

649
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 11: it's not going to be us. And I really hit

650
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 11: my hand because Will Venable, their new manager, preferred those guys,

651
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 11: and I think you can see it pretty much in

652
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 11: their actions and then their best like, no, no, it's

653
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 11: not gonna happen here. It's not gonna happen here. But

654
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 11: before you know it, you know, you're you know, you're

655
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 11: facing you're facing Clayton Cursh so it will happen.

656
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

657
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 2: Now I have to say Max Munsey escaped a huge

658
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: injury scare with the MRI I revealing no structural damage

659
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 2: and just having a bone bruise on his knee. They're

660
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 2: saying about six weeks honestly best case scenario for how

661
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: bad it looked. You guys didn't even show the replay yeah,

662
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 2: on the broadcast, so I didn't look it up. But

663
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 2: what's what's the feeling right now around Muncie and the

664
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 2: situation and just I mean, DODG just have had kind

665
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 2: of unfortunate injury situations this year.

666
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 11: Again, it's sad because he's such a big part of

667
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 11: this whole thing, and I mean, you know it must

668
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 11: is just having a terrific resurgence. It was bad. Yeah,

669
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 11: he went to the glasses, corrective glasses. You got to

670
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 11: just run of his eyes, his vision, and he's been

671
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 11: just a monster. And for all the people that you

672
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 11: know back in April and even when these couple last year,

673
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 11: like just go get somebody else, but I go. He

674
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 11: is part of a culture that has been created here

675
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 11: with Dave Robertson and the top. You know, from the

676
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 11: offense down that even if he has two hundred, he's

677
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 11: still part of something big. And you don't want to

678
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 11: mess with chemistry too much, you know. I think we're

679
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 11: so numbers driven nowadays, like oh long tangles and there's

680
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 11: and percentages and all the kind of you know what,

681
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 11: there's something called culture. You can replicate and you actually

682
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 11: you can't create and say, oh, let me bring this

683
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 11: blend and that blend. No, it doesn't happen. He's such

684
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 11: a big part of this. But hopefully it'll be about

685
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 11: I'm guessing hopefully four weeks because of the bumbers and

686
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 11: you mentioned the structural daminage not being there. But when

687
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 11: I first saw it, I first thought Gavin Letts has

688
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 11: spent training moment because he's yeah. I'm like, oh, please don't.

689
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 11: But we'll see what happens about I don't know that

690
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 11: the team's got rally behind him and over all the Dodgers.

691
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 11: The Dodgers throw about their business. No team again has

692
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 11: had more guys serving on the eye of than the Dodgers,

693
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 11: like last year when they won the World seriess it's

694
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 11: never an excuse, but you feel bad for the guy,

695
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 11: but you're welcome back to open arms when he comes back.

696
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.

697
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 5: I have a question. You speak about culture and a

698
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: huge part of their culture. Who has become a fan

699
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 5: favorite and who we love of course is to askar Hernandez,

700
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 5: But what's been a little bit concerning of late in

701
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 5: To asker Hernandez, is his defense is in the right field?

702
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 4: Is it something that Dodgers are concerned about.

703
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 5: Is it something they're going to have to address because

704
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 5: it has been problematic. Last night was a mess, but

705
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 5: it may not have turned into a mess had Tao

706
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 5: made a play that he really should have played. And

707
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: so I just wasn't sure what is going on and

708
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 5: the feeling and the dugout around that.

709
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 11: Anytime you see something like that happened Taylor or somebody

710
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 11: else a month earlier of the season, pays himself comfortable.

711
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 11: Those things are addressed straightly. I mean they're taking care

712
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 11: of immediately and guys are shown why perhaps things could

713
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 11: have gotten better. But Dave Roberts two days ago op

714
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 11: when he talked about the rightfield position and the defense

715
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 11: out there, and teams know that right. So yeah, taking

716
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 11: the incra base, they're going to be anticipating a ball

717
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 11: not being caught. But joshcar takes a lot of prime

718
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 11: in being a complete player, not just a good hitter.

719
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 11: And I know he's going to play himself to be better.

720
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 11: But there's no doubt in our minds. We know there's

721
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 11: a play in Kansas City that should have been caught

722
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 11: at prolonged the knitting. Same thing would happened last night.

723
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 11: So he knows things need to get better, you know.

724
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 11: And when he asked players like that and any players,

725
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 11: just make the routine play, make the rooting play, make

726
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 11: out the outs. Don't give additional outs of the opposition

727
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 11: because against the Dodgers, trust me. The opposite is in

728
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 11: for anything that they can crack to go out and

729
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 11: score a run. But Tasca, say's a lot of pride.

730
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 11: I'm very sure Diino Evil, who you know very well. Yeah,

731
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 11: love Denning all this time with him in the outfield

732
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 11: to make sure that the jumps, the first steps, the angles,

733
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 11: and also position is which is a big tam with

734
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 11: the Dodgers, I said, when they put him, to make

735
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 11: sure that he has a chance to success out there.

736
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 11: But yeah, pleasy to be made in the big league because

737
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 11: they're constant when they're not made.

738
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Jose, before we let you go, let's talk

739
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 2: about tonight. It's shoho tany day. It's his birthday. He's

740
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 2: back on the mound again. I feel like he's still

741
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 2: a little ahead of schedule in terms of his pitching.

742
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 2: But what are you expecting to see from him tonight?

743
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: What kind of pitch count is he going to be on?

744
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 2: Do we see him go past two innings?

745
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 11: I don't see him going past two innings, even though

746
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 11: has the pressed as many times before. Yeah, the players

747
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 11: keep him around the thirty five. Hopefully today he won

748
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 11: twenty seven last time. Twenty word strikes. I mean, twenty

749
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 11: seven is quite low for two winnings, but yeah, hopefully

750
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 11: in the thirty five to forty range he could go

751
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 11: a little bit more. I'm telling you. The thing is

752
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 11: that they're just being extremely careful how it should be

753
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 11: because Showy goes out there and I mean he's also

754
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 11: playing on the field day and I think, Alex you

755
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,799
Speaker 11: were there from the beginning of this thing went on.

756
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 11: The management of show hate needs to happen now at

757
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 11: an age of thirty one, much definitely than when he

758
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 11: was twenty six twenty seven years old, because he's always

759
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 11: going to say yes. But the body tells you. I

760
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 11: mean he's got a couple of surgeries, yeah, the shoulder

761
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 11: issue last year, So they're doing the right thing. But

762
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 11: I think this is all prompted by him.

763
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 3: He runs the show after the All Star break.

764
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 11: Why don't we use those games. I'm doing Simile Betta

765
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 11: games on the field. Yeah, I'm going to compete and

766
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 11: get better. So yeah, I hopefully if he gets to

767
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 11: the third it'll be a blessing. It'll be great. But

768
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 11: I'll think overall, hopefully, but we'll see on his birthdays again.

769
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 11: One one hundred and two miles an hour. Who's last

770
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 11: time out there?

771
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 4: I love the show.

772
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 5: Tony's rehab starts are against the Astros and the patre

773
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah right.

774
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 11: Now, because it is his birthday, you have to repeat

775
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 11: that for me?

776
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 3: What's that?

777
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:20,880

Speaker 4: I love it what it is.

814
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: It was one of our family sports growing up. My

815
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 2: mom grew up playing when women weren't.

816
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 3: Allowed on the course.

817
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,680

00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 2: clutch group Memory Hill, she would hide her hair up

819
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 2: in her hat, like wear baggy clothing.

820
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 3: So it was like, no wow, though, that she was

821
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 3: a woman on the golf course.

822
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:21,879

824
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,800

00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: again you can have amazing holes and then immediately the

826
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 2: worst of your life. And my mom always compared it

827
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,279

828
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,359

00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 5: to be them.

836
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:57,760

845
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:25,879

851
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: I like it because it's become such a big part

852
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 2: of game day, all these athletes having their runway moment,

853
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,600

854
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,919
Speaker 2: just like Leaning Burrow, I love it.

855
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,759

Speaker 4: A double in a single, winning right now.

864
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 5: And the Yankees have lost five in rows, so this

865
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,319

00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 2: I got to spend again, so I Europe's like one

937
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: of my favorite places ever. I'm also like ninety nine

938
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 2: point nine percent European, so like I I like love.

939
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 3: I am obsessed with Europe.

940
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: And I got to live and I studied abroad in

941
00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: Italy in college for six months, and I just traveled

942
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: to every single country like every weekend. But then I

943
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 2: never really fully got to fall in love with Paris.

944
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: I had really bad experiences early on. But then when

945
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 2: the World Cup was in France in Paris, and I

946
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 2: spent six weeks traveling all over France. I absolutely fell

947
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 2: in love with the people and the culture and everything

948
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 2: and then like I get.

949
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 4: It, Yeah, I get it special.

950
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:00,880

969
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: start with some baseball, because this week, you guys, we

970
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: witnessed history. We did Clayton Kershaw join the three thousand

971
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,360
Speaker 2: strikeout club. Just a twentieth pitcher in the history of

972
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 2: the game to throw three thousand strikeouts, only the fourth

973
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 2: lefty to do it, and the third player ever to.

974
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 3: Do it, all with one teams.

975
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: Amazing, like the fact that manager Dave Roberts let him

976
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 2: pitch the most that he's thrown since twenty twenty three.

977
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,720
Speaker 3: He threw that final strike on pitch number one hundred.

978
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 3: Dodger Stadium was electric.

979
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: We were just talking to Jose Mota last hour about

980
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 2: it and he said it like it felt like.

981
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 3: A Broadway show. It was a spectacle.

982
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: And Kurts has been like very open about not usually

983
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 2: getting caught up in the moment, but a moment like

984
00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: that when you were the twentieth player in the history

985
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 2: of the game to do it is just it's incredible.

986
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 2: Do we have the call? Do we have Yeah, let's

987
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 2: just listen to this call.

988
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 8: One true pitch, strike.

989
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 12: Three, crowd foolish, big out, a little Slayer, strike out

990
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:02,959
Speaker 12: number three thousand for Plighton Kershaw this story at Dodger.

991
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:08,400
Speaker 2: Stadium, Like everything about that moment like just sends like

992
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 2: I get chills. I have chills right now talking about

993
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 2: I had chills when Jose Mota was talking about it

994
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: because even even with like all like that was the

995
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: most emotional at bat pitching situation because the Munsie injury

996
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: happened in that same at bat, I thought it was

997
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 2: a different in my mind, And the next day I

998
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 2: was like, it was just crazy that like the batter

999
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 2: right before, like the Munsi situation happened, and one of

1000
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: my producers like no Alex, that was the.

1001
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 3: Same at bat.

1002
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't even think I put that

1003
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 2: together because so much craziness happened.

1004
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 3: And then Jose was telling us it was almost like fate.

1005
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 2: That not fate, but like trying to find a positive

1006
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,600
Speaker 2: and a negative situation that Keike Hernandez is who came in,

1007
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: and Kik has been part of so many of Kershaw's

1008
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 2: magical moments and now this was going to be his last.

1009
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 3: I think this was going to be his last batter

1010
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 3: Like he.

1011
00:45:56,239 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: Was, he was pushing a hundred pitches, the songs were

1012
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 2: hitting everything he was putting out.

1013
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 4: They were like I am not.

1014
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 3: Going to be the guy that you reached his milestone.

1015
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 2: They were literally like throwing the back at pitches like

1016
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 2: this is not gonna happen. And the fact that it

1017
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 2: was like a looking like called strike three, like he said,

1018
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 2: like the pitch didn't go where I wanted to go,

1019
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 2: but it caught like just the edge of the strike

1020
00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 2: zone on his one hundredth pitch at Dodger Stadium. Everybody

1021
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: was there for that moment and the place just went wild.

1022
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 4: It did, it erupted, and it was it was a

1023
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 4: really special moment.

1024
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing, Like and I think it's such a big

1025
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 2: deal because I don't know if we're ever gonna see

1026
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 2: this again, Like pitchers are not going as deep into

1027
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 2: games as they used to back in the day, Like

1028
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 2: if you're a starting pitcher, you better go nine innings.

1029
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 5: I don't think we will see it again. It's just

1030
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 5: a different The game's different now. Everything about the game

1031
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 5: is different. And now if a pitcher goes six solid innings,

1032
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 5: it's one heck, great, outing great. I don't know that

1033
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 5: we will and the other thing that we will even

1034
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 5: if we did see it again, I don't think we

1035
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,959
Speaker 5: will ever see another person do it all with one team.

1036
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's wild.

1037
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: When you look at the next active player behind Kershaw,

1038
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 2: it's Chris Sale. He's at twy five hundred and twenty

1039
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 2: eight strikeouts. He's thirty six years old, so he needs

1040
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,720
Speaker 2: another four hundred and seventy two. He's averaging about seven

1041
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,239
Speaker 2: point five strikeouts per game. Last year he pitched in

1042
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: twenty nine games, so that puts him around like.

1043
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: Two hundred and twenty strikeouts per year.

1044
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: He would have to have a few more healthy, strong

1045
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 2: seasons to get there. And then Garrett Cole is the

1046
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 2: next pitcher behind there at two two hundred and fifty one.

1047
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: He's thirty four years old, but just had Tommy John

1048
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,319
Speaker 2: surgery this year, so that's a brutal comeback and a

1049
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 2: year plus until you're back to form. Yeah, Like, I

1050
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 2: really don't know if we'll see this again.

1051
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:56,959
Speaker 4: I don't think we will. I really don't.

1052
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 5: I think this was That's part of what made it

1053
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 5: so special because in some ways it was the end

1054
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 5: of an era.

1055
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: It was the last like check off his Hall of

1056
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 2: Fame legendary career. And again there were so many like

1057
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: his last two years, Like we didn't know if the

1058
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:15,439
Speaker 2: Dodgers were going to bring.

1059
00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: Him back, and they kept bringing him back, and they.

1060
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 4: Kept like he is.

1061
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 2: He has fought through so much adversity and injuries, and

1062
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 2: he is. We were talking to Jose Mota like he

1063
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: is the greatest pitcher in Dodger history. He will go

1064
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 2: down as one of the all time greats, now joining

1065
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 2: the obviously the three thousand strikeout club. Like he's checked

1066
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 2: everything off his Cy Young's his World Series. Like, I

1067
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 2: guess he hasn't had the postseason success, but he's a

1068
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 2: big reason the Dodgers got yes to the postseason and

1069
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: had all of that, those like Insane and l West

1070
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: winning titles.

1071
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,799
Speaker 5: And I think he's had more postseason success than he

1072
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 5: gets credit for. It's just that the the fails have

1073
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 5: been so epic that I mean to say, for lack

1074
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 5: of a better churt, they've been so bad. But I

1075
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 5: look at Game five, I believe the twenty twenty World

1076
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 5: Series maybe game or yes, maybe game I think it

1077
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 5: was Game five of the twenty twenty World Series could

1078
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 5: be Game four, so you know, forgive me on that.

1079
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 5: But the Dodgers had blown lead to the Rays, and

1080
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 5: they had the Rays were celebrating like crazy. I mean,

1081
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 5: it was one of those that game before could have

1082
00:49:25,960 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 5: been a disaster. And kurs pitched the next night, and

1083
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 5: Kirch Kersh pitch incredibly well, and of course there was

1084
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 5: the talk and the thinking of all they're.

1085
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 4: Going to get a Kershaw playoff performance, They're not going

1086
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 4: to do it.

1087
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:39,640
Speaker 5: So I think he has had I'm not saying he's

1088
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 5: been tremendous, but he's had more success than the playoffs

1089
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 5: than he gets credit for.

1090
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 4: It's just that the failures have been so.

1091
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 2: Bad, especially if that's someone remember so good exactly during

1092
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: the regular season, it's shocking.

1093
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:51,720
Speaker 4: It's jarring.

1094
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 3: It's like how what happened?

1095
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: And you start to, like again, try to find excuses

1096
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 2: and reasons, and it's like.

1097
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 4: I don't know, oh yeah, and be worn. It could

1098
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 4: just be worn.

1099
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 5: And the twenty nineteen Game five of the NLDS, he

1100
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 5: comes in to get one batter and relief and that

1101
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 5: should have been in.

1102
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 4: He did it, and then.

1103
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 5: They brought him back and he gives I mean that

1104
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 5: it was a disaster. So there's some of that too.

1105
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 5: So I like to give Kursh a little bit of

1106
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 5: a break on that.

1107
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 3: You hope. So okay, but let's move to today because

1108
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 3: today is show. Hey, oh Tani day you guys.

1109
00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 4: Best say ever.

1110
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 2: Happy thirty first birthday to the MVP, the All Star,

1111
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 2: the Unicorn. He's also on the mound, making his fourth

1112
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: start of the season. He's gone one inning in his

1113
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 2: first two starts. He went two innings on the road

1114
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,960
Speaker 2: in Casey last Saturday. Today penning his pitch count, We'll

1115
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: see how deep he goes Se said, what he's around

1116
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 2: like thirty five pitches.

1117
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 3: They'll let him go. But he's still so far ahead

1118
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 3: of schedule.

1119
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 2: I thought he was going to be back after the

1120
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:56,080
Speaker 2: All Star break to start kind of rehabbing back. But

1121
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: with all of the pitching injuries, the Dodgers need him healthy.

1122
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 2: On the mound, I mean there is light at the

1123
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 2: end of the tunnel. Like again, like remember they have

1124
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 2: Tyler glassnaw Blake Snell, and Rookie Sasaki that are.

1125
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 3: All out yes at the moment, correct, Yeah, So it's brutal.

1126
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 4: It has been.

1127
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 5: It has been a little brutal. I just I just

1128
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,440
Speaker 5: want to throw some out there. Do we need to

1129
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 5: make today a national holiday? Shoho Tony's birthday? I mean,

1130
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 5: just piggyback it on July fourth. I mean, I'm not

1131
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 5: saying it's like its own holiday, but you piggybag it.

1132
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 4: I got you, me and my mom in down.

1133
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 2: So doesn't he have a day? Did they make like

1134
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 2: May seventeenth? It's yeah, okay, I just feel like it's

1135
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 2: you a national holiday. Who's saying no to two days off?

1136
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? No one. People are taking it anyway?

1137
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 2: Is it?

1138
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 3: Would you say July fifth is probably?

1139
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 8: Okay?

1140
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 2: Question new Year's Day or July fifth the most nationally

1141
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 2: hungover day in America?

1142
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 5: Oh that's a really good goal. I actually was going

1143
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 5: to say the day after the super Bowl?

1144
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,359
Speaker 3: Okay, So we'll put three out there.

1145
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,760
Speaker 2: Do we say New Year's Day, day after the super

1146
00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 2: Bowl or July fifth is the most hungover day in

1147
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 2: America and should definitely be a national holiday.

1148
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 3: Out of those three, what would you pick?

1149
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 5: Well, New Year's dag kind of is is the holiday?

1150
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 5: So for the most part, okay, you're playing college football

1151
00:52:11,640 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 5: championships and stuff. Yeah, but you're working, but you're But

1152
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 5: I I think if you had to give it one

1153
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,080
Speaker 5: more day, it would be July fifth is afairs, though

1154
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:21,200
Speaker 5: there are a lot of people who think the day

1155
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 5: after the Super Bowl should be a national holiday. I'm

1156
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 5: not saying no to that either.

1157
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,479
Speaker 3: No, I'm gonna just give us all three.

1158
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 2: And speaking of that, let's switch gears to the NFL

1159
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: right now. Obviously not a lot going on because they

1160
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 2: are officially like it is summer break right now. Okay,

1161
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: we are close. We are a few weeks away from

1162
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 2: training camps. Two weeks is it two weeks now?

1163
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:42,919
Speaker 8: Yep?

1164
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. It's crazy because like I feel like

1165
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 3: football is year round.

1166
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 2: It is like with all these like like OTAs, mini

1167
00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 2: camps all that you really only get like three weeks off.

1168
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 5: Yes, And for me the reporters that there's combine, owners meetings,

1169
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 5: of course, free agency, the draft. It never ends, it

1170
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 5: never ends. This is the break though, this is the time.

1171
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 5: There's not a lot going on.

1172
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, But the Steelers have been making headlines all

1173
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 2: off season, finally landing their quarterback for one year, Aaron Rodgers,

1174
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,040
Speaker 2: because he told the world last week again like his

1175
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 2: perfect media timing, that it will probably be his final season. Question,

1176
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 2: how much power do you think Rogers will get with

1177
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:25,959
Speaker 2: the Steelers?

1178
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,280
Speaker 4: Not nearly as much as he had with the Jets.

1179
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 2: I don't think Mike Tomin should give him any power.

1180
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: He should out inside of making calls on the field.

1181
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 5: I would agree with that, and he may not because

1182
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 5: Mike Toalmin is not going to be messing around. And

1183
00:53:37,239 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 5: I think these moves show, I don't know how successful be,

1184
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 5: they show that they're not messing around.

1185
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 4: So I don't think it'll be.

1186
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 5: This is not gonna be one of those I want

1187
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 5: this guy on my team and I want you know

1188
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 5: it's going to be like you're the quarterback, Yes you

1189
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 5: can make calls on the field, but I am your coach.

1190
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 4: And you're going to do what we say.

1191
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 2: I really do believe it's interesting because like, what's his

1192
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 2: final NFL season going to look like?

1193
00:53:57,440 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 3: Must watch TV?

1194
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: Obviously a little bit of a farewell to but like

1195
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 2: Vegas doesn't think it's moving the needle, like.

1196
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 4: It didn't move.

1197
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 2: They're over under win total once they signed him. It's

1198
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: still like Mike Tomlin hasn't had a losing season in

1199
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,239
Speaker 2: his coaching career, and before they signed Rogers, I was like, Ah,

1200
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: this might be it, and like maybe Rogers helps it

1201
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: not happen. I don't know, but like you hope now

1202
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 2: that he's two years removed from the Achilles injury. You're

1203
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 2: not gonna get MVP Rogers, but maybe like that final Hurrah,

1204
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: you'll get a little better Rogers. It's obviously gonna be

1205
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 2: better than five and twelve Rogers from last year.

1206
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:34,879
Speaker 4: Absolutely in New York.

1207
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 2: But the Steelers are also making moves to quote win. Now,

1208
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 2: I just don't know if they're that big. Like they

1209
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 2: just traded with the Dolphins for three time All per

1210
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 2: qrnerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end John new Smith sending

1211
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 2: All Pro safety Fitzpatrick in a pick swap, but like, again,

1212
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: like does this make this Steelers any better because both

1213
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 2: of their stats are pretty similar. So it's like they're

1214
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 2: making all these moves, but I don't know if it's

1215
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 2: actually going to do anything, do anything, Like, yeah, they

1216
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 2: traded away George Pickens for the third round pick. They

1217
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 2: did add DK Metcalf, who I do think is a

1218
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 2: better wide receiver, but it would have been nice to

1219
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 2: have another weapon and keep him around.

1220
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 3: Like I just don't know. And then obviously the other

1221
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 3: big news is TJ. Watt.

1222
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 2: He wants to be the highest paid non quarterback. You

1223
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,919
Speaker 2: need him us by far your best defender. Yes, he's

1224
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:42,560
Speaker 2: thirty one. In order to accommodate that kind of large contract,

1225
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 2: it can't be a three year deal as to probably

1226
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 2: be like a five year deal minimum.

1227
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 3: You gotta spread the money out. I don't know if

1228
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 3: it's a smart.

1229
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 2: Business decision for the Steelers and they know that, but

1230
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 2: they got they have to do it. Like the Steelers

1231
00:55:55,120 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 2: with and without TJ. Watt since twenty seventeen is insane,

1232
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 2: Like they don't win very much without him. Plus like

1233
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 2: since entering the league in twenty seventeen, he is first

1234
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 2: in sacks. This is linked like breaking in all the

1235
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 2: NFL first in sacks. Quarterback, hits pressure like literally everything.

1236
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 2: Four time All Pro defensive obviously Player of the Year,

1237
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 2: seven time Pro Bowler, Like you, you gotta keep them.

1238
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 2: You gotta find a way to keep them, and.

1239
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 5: He wants to stay. But he moves the needle way

1240
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 5: more than Aaron Rodgers in my opinion, Yeah, he does.

1241
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 5: He's way more than a defensive team. Yeah, the Steelers

1242
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 5: win because.

1243
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 4: Of their defense.

1244
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin is one of the all time greatest defensive coaches.

1245
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 4: If they don't have.

1246
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 2: Their leader on the defense, they're number one defensive player.

1247
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 2: There's no way Mike Tomlin's having a winning season. I

1248
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,239
Speaker 2: think they're going to figure it out. I think they

1249
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 2: he wants to be a Steeler.

1250
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 5: The Miles Garrett contracts certainly made it harder because now

1251
00:56:54,800 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 5: he wants He's gonna want more than my Yearrett guy

1252
00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 5: who I think is getting forty million a year and TJ.

1253
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 5: Watt has been making twenty eight million a year. Neither

1254
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 5: sounds bad, but.

1255
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 2: It don't make twenty one million this season, so he's

1256
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,759
Speaker 2: gonna want more, definitely. Like he's entering the final year

1257
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,280
Speaker 2: of his four year, one hundred and twelve million dollar contract,

1258
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 2: he did have a thirty five five million dollars signing

1259
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,840
Speaker 2: bonus eighty million guaranteed. He set to make twenty one

1260
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 2: million this year. He turns thirty one in October. Yeah,

1261
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,600
Speaker 2: there's a lot, there's a lot. There's a lot, but

1262
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: they got to make it work. They have to make

1263
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: it work. This is one of those they have to

1264
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:27,439
Speaker 2: make it work.

1265
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 5: And I would also say, even though he's obviously not

1266
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 5: going to have that kind of power, I don't think

1267
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,600
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers was going to go to the Steelers.

1268
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 4: They didn't have TJ.

1269
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 5: Watt like he knows the defense is going to be

1270
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 5: so important, so it has to be. They'll they're just

1271
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 5: going to figure it out. You know, he missed mandatory

1272
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 5: mini camp. He missed OTA's Well.

1273
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 3: That's what It's the only thing they can do to

1274
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 3: like have leverage.

1275
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's all, and that's all. I don't blame him

1276
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 5: for a second. So now we have training camp starting

1277
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 5: here in a couple of weeks. They got to get

1278
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 5: this figured out.

1279
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: Ye.

1280
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 5: And as someone who's covered a number of contract extensions

1281
00:57:56,920 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 5: that have gone related to training camp, may I give

1282
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 5: you the advice you figure it out.

Speaker 3: Sooner than later. Yeah, sooner than later.

1284
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 4: All right, guys, we're gonna take a quick break here.

Speaker 2: up tomorrow, like the Gold Cup final, you guys on Fox.

1295
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 2: The US men's national team faith in Mexico, which is like,

1296
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: I guess, hey here probably their biggest rivalry. United States

1297
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 2: and Mexico have seen each other plenty of times in

1298
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 2: the history of the Gold Cup, meeting eight times in

1299
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 2: the finals since the tournament began.

1300
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 4: It gets spicy, Yeah, it gets.

1301
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 3: Very spicy right now.

1302
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 2: But the craziest thing about this entire US men's national

1303
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 2: team run is that they're not playing with their star players,

1304
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: Like which I have?

1305
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 3: I have a bone to pick? Okay, do you take

1306
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 3: with those guys? There we go? Thank you.

1307
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 4: Word of the day.

1308
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 2: For a superstar player to decide to not represent your

1309
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:37,080
Speaker 2: country in a major tournament that is happening within your

1310
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 2: country a year out of the World Cup, which is

1311
00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 2: also being hosted in your country does not sit right

1312
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: with me. This is like star players in the NBA,

1313
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 2: like like load management, when it's like, what what are

1314
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 2: you doing? You are getting paid millions of dollars to

1315
00:59:55,240 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 2: play a game? To play a game is your job?

1316
01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 4: You show up?

1317
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 5: Could you imagine if you today were like, hey, Tracy,

1318
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 5: I just you know, I just don't feel like it today, But.

1319
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,120
Speaker 4: You guys, I'm not some other time. I am nine

1320
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 4: months pregnant.

1321
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm still working like we are, like, but

1322
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 2: I love what I do, right, it is my job.

1323
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go as long as.

1324
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 4: A doctor allows me to go.

1325
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: I've a lot of people been like, yeah, you probably

1326
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: should have started taking attorney leave last week. I'm like,

1327
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 2: I am fine, I am able. I'm gonna go as

1328
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 2: long as I can because I like it, like makes

1329
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,959
Speaker 2: me happy to do what I do. Obviously slowing down

1330
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 2: a little bit because doctor's orders, but like I just.

1331
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: It's just wild to me.

1332
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's very strange.

1333
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 2: It's just absolutely And also like there's a lot of

1334
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 2: different things like to unpack here. You also have a

1335
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 2: new head coach that's like kind of putting together a

1336
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: new group put Chatina, who like he is a very

1337
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 2: well respected European coach is and they're playing right now

1338
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 2: with B and C level guys, which is I think

1339
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 2: what also makes this so impressive that they are fighting,

1340
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 2: like these guys are fighting for a spot on this

1341
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 2: national team.

1342
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 3: They deserve to be here, and they might.

1343
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 2: Be sneakily stealing some starting positions and roles come World

1344
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 2: Cup roster put together time, Like I a couple big

1345
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 2: standouts obviously. I think goalkeeper Matt Freeze was the hero

1346
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 2: in the quarterfinals against Costa Rica save three penalty kicks

1347
01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 2: to help the US men's national team.

1348
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 3: Be able to come back and win that one.

1349
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he'll be the best keeper on the roster,

1350
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 2: but he might earn that third spot just to be like, hey,

1351
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 2: if we get into pks in the World Cup, I

1352
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 2: think we got to have this guy on here because

1353
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: he's the best at that. And then Diego Luna, who

1354
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 2: has just been an absolute superstar.

1355
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 5: Yes he is, he's he is really emerged, and yeah,

1356
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 5: it's it's been exciting.

1357
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 4: The thing that's kind of cool about this team, You've

1358
01:02:09,040 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 4: got these like.

1359
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 5: Young guys, hungry, hungry, and they have been played well.

1360
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 4: I kind of think there's something about them.

1361
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 5: That could be sneakily, you know, being able to beat Mexico.

1362
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 5: Now Mexico may have kind of fresher legs, yeah, because

1363
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,600
Speaker 5: but I don't know, there's something fun and fiery about

1364
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 5: this US men's national team.

1365
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 4: I'm into it.

1366
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 2: It's proven, it's let me prove you wrong, Like you

1367
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: don't normally get opportunities like this on a national team.

1368
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 2: M hmm, especially in big tournaments like this, and these

1369
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: guys are getting a chance to steal a spot, so

1370
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 2: take advantage of that opportunity. Tomorrow USA versus Mexico on

1371
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:49,600
Speaker 2: Fox is going to be absolutely insane. Okay, But now

01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 10: Jay Huff to the Pacers for a second round pick

1398
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 10: and a second round pick swap. Grizzlies also signing free

1399
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 10: agent center Jack Glendale, formerly of the Phoenix Suns.

1400
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 2: Back to you guys, Thank you Martin. You're listening to

1401

Speaker 2: Fox Sports Saturday. I'm Alex Curry here at Tracy Sandler.

1402
01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 2: We are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios

1403
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, and it is time for our next guest,

1404
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 2: ten year NBA vet. He's now on the Houston Rockets broadcast.

1405
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 2: You hear him all over Fox Sports airwaves, Ryan Hollands,

1406
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:28,920
Speaker 2: thanks for.

1407
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:32,840
Speaker 1: Joining us album, Thanks for having me do jog it forth?

1408
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 3: Oh do we have them?

1409
01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1410
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 4: There we go.

1411
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:43,640
Speaker 3: I think you're here.

1412
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we love it.

1413
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get to your Houston Rockets because they are

1414
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 2: clearly in win now mode. Winning like making all the

1415
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 2: big moves this offseason, trading for Kevin Durant while also

1416
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 2: adding Clint Cappella, Dorian Finney Smith.

1417
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 3: They just traded for Cam Whitmore.

1418
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 2: How much better did Houston get with these these moves

1419
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 2: over the last month.

1420
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 1: What Houston did is they went from a team that was,

1421
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, getting better and potential to write in the

1422
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: thick of contending because Houston was topping the league, defensively,

1423
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,680
Speaker 1: stopping the league, getting hitting the boards. Got the best

1424
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: coach in the league, ink, And when you get Durant,

1425
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,880
Speaker 1: you solve a lot of those problems. And one of

1426
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: the biggest problems that they had was have for execution

1427
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:39,960
Speaker 1: and scoring and that was really the difference in that

1428
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Golden State Series.

1429
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 2: Which is wild because this is going to be Kevin

1430
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 2: Durant's fifth team in his career.

1431
01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 3: He's already really proven.

1432
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 2: He's one of the best players to ever play.

1433
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 4: What would this.

1434
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 2: Add to his legacy if he helps bring Houston to

1435
01:05:57,920 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 2: a championship.

1436
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, obviously you can look at

1437
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Kevin Rands are going to be the greatest scorer to

1438
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: ever play the game.

1439
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I know when.

1440
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: You hear that, you hear that being said, you think

1441
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:11,680
Speaker 1: of Michael Jordan and guys like that. But like he's

1442
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: seven foot one, he can hit any shot in the book,

1443
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:21,040
Speaker 1: and he's arguably just unstoppable. But I do believe, and

1444
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 1: I don't like to throw stuff out, this could be

1445
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: his greatest feat in the sense when he wanted when

1446
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 1: he won the championship with the Warriors. He's as certified

1447
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: as they talk. Okay, no matter what they say, he

1448
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: won the championship, he was the MVP. But if he

1449
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 1: gets this here in Houston, all the pieces to the

1450
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: puzzler are there, and this is a group that you

1451
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: know needed his scoring. And if he does this, I

1452
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: think he cemented it certified regardless. But I think all

1453
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: the oh yeah, but it was Steph Curry, oh yeah,

1454
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: things didn't work out with the nets. I think those

1455
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: things go away. And that's just to just zip and

1456
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 1: erase anything that anybody would have to say about Kevin Durant.

1457
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: But I couldn't think of a better situation and timing.

1458
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 1: And I'm also intrigued to see because the deal's not final,

1459
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:10,360
Speaker 1: and I understanding is that there's going to be a

1460
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: whole lot more shaken down. But at the end of

1461
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: the day, in terms of Houston, I don't think any

1462
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: thing changes in Houston's Houston standpoint.

1463
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: Okay, excitement level wise, obviously it's the off season, but

1464
01:07:22,880 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 2: have you been able to talk to anybody within the

1465
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 2: organization or players, Like, what was the excitement level when.

1466
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 3: The news broke that he, you know, was coming to Houston.

1467
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 1: Man, I mean, just just a city was a buzz.

1468
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm nobody and I probably got thirty or

1469
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 1: forty text messages.

1470
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 4: You are a somebody.

1471
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: You are a big somebody to us.

1472
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: I am peanuts in the grand scheme of things. Okay,

1473
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: but but at the end of the day, like you

1474
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: could feel the excitement here in town, and you know,

1475
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: just just everybody went on alert and then Houston like

1476
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: went back to back and free. You can see it,

1477
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: like they just re signed every piece to the puzzle

1478
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 1: that you could kind of think of got shirt up

1479
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: and obviously you hurt losing Jamen Green, and you hurt

1480
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 1: losing Dylan Brooks, and you will shoot. We got Drian

1481
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Phinney Smith, you know, we got Flint Compella. This is

1482
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: a group that needed a shot blocker. That really what

1483
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 1: happened was Houston's will so reliant on their on ball

1484
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: defense and they were great and they've never had an

1485
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: a racer at the rim, so whenever there's a mistake,

1486
01:08:26,160 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: they're so clint it up. Well, Flint Capella is that?

1487
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: So the excitement because all the pieces that all the

1488
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: needs were addressed and the best way that you could see.

1489
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 5: Fit from a chemistry perspective, how do you see Durant

1490
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 5: fitting into too?

1491
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 4: That locker room?

1492
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 5: And I know winning cures all, but just generally kind

1493
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,599
Speaker 5: of from a chemistry perspective, what do you expect to see?

1494
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: Well, I'm a history major, so the one thing I

1495
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 1: always look back on is history. And if you think

1496
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:56,480
Speaker 1: of a case that's similar, it's when Paul went to Toronto.

1497
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: And the one thing Toronto had already is culture. They

1498
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:01,879
Speaker 1: knew that they were They had multiple fifty one seasons,

1499
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, number one team in the Eastern Conference. They

1500
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 1: had a group of great guys, they had a coach,

1501
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: they were a fluid unit, and they said, oh, wh

1502
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: just come in and score the ball. You know, be

1503
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: the best that you can be. You don't need to

1504
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: be our leader. You don't need to be anything but

1505
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: a bucket. It's something that we don't have. And I

1506
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: see that and similar here with Kevin Durant, where you're

1507
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: not asking Phoenix needed Kevin Durant to be more of

1508
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: a playmaker. They needed into fist totals to be up.

1509
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 1: There's a high volume of usage. We're here, similar to

1510
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Golden State, similar to Wahite Leonard situation. You're just saying,

1511
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: come in and score the basketball. And we got him

1512
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 1: in Thompson, we got shing Gun, we got Van Vliet's leadership,

1513
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: we have all these guys. We got Jabar Smith junior

1514
01:09:43,640 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 1: who's going to learn from you and be a great

1515
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:49,839
Speaker 1: piece of the puzzle. So that's the excitement around Durant

1516
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: and we're less is more in that situation. You're not

1517
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: asking him to be anything other than himself.

1518
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's going to be the biggest piece there.

1519
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 2: But I want to talk about a couple other teams

1520
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 2: making moves this week. The Lakers haven't made a ton

1521
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 2: of moves, but they did get a center that they

1522
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 2: desperately needed, and DeAndre Ayton reportedly agreeing to a two

1523
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 2: year deal.

1524
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 4: There have been reports.

1525
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 2: That, you know, he might not have the best attitude,

1526
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 2: but how do you see him fitting in with the

1527
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 2: Lakers next season?

1528
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 1: Man? I think it's huge. I don't think Senix was

1529
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: ever the same since they lost him, And obviously, you

1530
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 1: know there are moments where he's been uninterested and you know,

1531
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: you can question, you know, in his motor or character

1532
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: or whatever on the court. But yeah, and he's a

1533
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 1: phenomenal talent. Was he the number one or number two

1534
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: picks in the draft? Like damp Eyton is certified. I

1535
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 1: think he's going to bring a lot of athleticism and

1536
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: the one thing that Lebron and Luca love is a

1537
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: good big man and he can run the rim and

1538
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 1: he can catch. So I think as long as Luca

1539
01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: and Lebron and and and Jay Gingil's got to bring

1540
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:54,559
Speaker 1: him in folks and let him know that he's needed

1541
01:10:54,560 --> 01:10:57,720
Speaker 1: and kind of reassure him and build his confidence up. Man,

1542
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: he's really going to pay off. There in LA and

1543
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: that's a that's a high caliber center you just got

1544
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: for cheap right at the end of the day, So

1545
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:09,879
Speaker 1: that should should be exciting news for LA.

1546
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 2: Okay, So then question here, do you think there's any

1547
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: truth to the rumors that Lebron could ask for a trade?

1548
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean, even if you ask for it, how's it

1549
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 1: going to happen? I mean it would, and you can

1550
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 1: never say never, you know, Yeah, I mean I guess

1551
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 1: ideas that TV are thrown out or Cleveland, but Cleveland

1552
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: would have to piece together so many pieces and the

1553
01:11:31,240 --> 01:11:34,559
Speaker 1: couple pieces that you may deem untouchable to make that

1554
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: even happen or match money wise. And then you know,

1555
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: from the Knicks standpoint, if you kind of give everything

1556
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: for Lebron, he's not a Lebron's best place is to

1557
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,679
Speaker 1: be in almost like a Durant with the Houston Rockets

1558
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,400
Speaker 1: roll where he can come in and there's a lot

1559
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: of pieces already built there, and New York may not

1560
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: be suitable for that in my opinion. So uh, I'm

1561
01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: setting down. I don't think Lebron is going anywhere, and

1562
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 1: I think just what you need to see his ownership

1563
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,680
Speaker 1: kind of stand by him and iron things out and

1564
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 1: say he's our guy. We're committed to, you know, serving

1565
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,480
Speaker 1: him as long as he wants to wear this Lakers uniform.

1566
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,879
Speaker 5: And with this Lakers new ownership group, do you foresee

1567
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 5: that happening as they try to put the piece around them,

1568
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 5: because this is a group that wants to win, they

1569
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 5: like they like winning championships, and so do you see

1570
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 5: them kind of standing by their.

1571
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 1: Man, I'm honestly intrigued. I think what bodes in Lebron's

1572
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: favor is that Magic Johnson is integural with the group,

1573
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: my understanding, and Matt Johnson, the guy who helped recruit

1574
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: and bring and put his word behind Lebron James, actually

1575
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: committing and becoming a Laker. So that's that's that's good

1576
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 1: there from Levon's standpoint. But ownership is always different. Man.

1577
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: Do you have some owners that are that are fans

1578
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 1: of the game, they want to see the best of

1579
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 1: owners really know the game basketball. Some owners are are

1580
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: his hands on, some two hands on, and the owners

1581
01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 1: know how to get out of the way. And you know,

1582
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: you could look in Dallas' situation, there was nobody safe.

1583
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 1: There's nobody safe when they got and you know, some

1584
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 1: of them say, man, I just hate a lot of

1585
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: money for a team, and what they're used to is

1586
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: is running things like a business. So if this is

1587
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 1: a business oriented move, or if this is a basketball

1588
01:13:18,439 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 1: move and there's in all emotions above, you get Earl Lebron.

1589
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,559
Speaker 1: If this is a business move Lebron, because you get

1590
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:27,839
Speaker 1: all the national team games, uh huh, not to Lebron,

1591
01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: but you don't have the longevity of no, yeah, how

1592
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: long he could play at a high level. And then

1593
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:35,200
Speaker 1: you're saying what can I get back from? But another

1594
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 1: organization that saying, man, he's the point that we trade for.

1595
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 1: He ain't don't want to call him?

1596
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:40,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, I won't.

1597
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 3: Wild Okay, right before we let you go?

1598
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 4: West is so packed.

1599
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 2: Obviously you got the champs, the thunder in the West,

1600
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 2: the Rockets making all the moves, Lakers looking better.

1601
01:13:54,080 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 3: What team do you think is winning the West next year?

1602
01:13:58,760 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: For summer? Brought you from my standpointe silently, But you

1603
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 1: know what I love when everybody picks somebody else up there.

1604
01:14:07,640 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: It's still a group. Even with Kevin Durant, that's gonna

1605
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: work well with the chippy underdog, you know, that's against

1606
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:19,280
Speaker 1: the wall type mentality, you know, and and I'm intrigued

1607
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 1: to see how this new Rocket team and Phil looks

1608
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 1: and calms out and if they're gonna say hey, like

1609
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,400
Speaker 1: we're the top dogs now and learns that it walks

1610
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 1: that walk. So it's gonna be a really good season.

1611
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 1: And you've got a group under email that I trust

1612
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:35,439
Speaker 1: is being to follow through and be extremely competitive this year.

1613
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:37,439

1638
01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 2: off with la legend Candice Parker getting her number three

1639

Speaker 2: jersey retired by the Sparks in a halftime ceremony this week.

1640
01:15:52,520 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 3: And I am just such a fan of this woman.

1641
01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:58,680
Speaker 3: I mean, she played.

1642
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Thirteen seasons with the team, like during her career, won

1643
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 2: two MVPs, she was Rookie of the Year. But like

1644
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:10,759
Speaker 2: recently more my connection with this woman as she recently

1645
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,880
Speaker 2: came out talking about having her daughter right after her

1646
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,640
Speaker 2: rookie season and everything that she did to make it

1647
01:16:17,680 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 2: work as a star athlete and as a mom is

1648
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 2: so inspiring because let me tell you, there's no playbook

1649
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 2: for moms in sports, whether you're playing or you're talking

1650
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:29,599
Speaker 2: about sports, it's just it's very different. When everybody talks

1651
01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 2: to you like, oh, what are you gonna do, You're like,

1652
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Okay.

1653
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 4: Hey, I'm just gonna figure it out.

1654
01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 2: But she was coming off her rookie year and there

1655
01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 2: was no paid maternity leave in the w NBA. She

1656
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 2: said she had to pay for her mom to travel

1657
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 2: with them, buy her plane ticket because they were still

1658
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,479
Speaker 2: on commercial flights. They were still sharing rooms at the time,

1659
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 2: so she had to buy out her roommate and buy

1660
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:55,559
Speaker 2: out her room because at that point, like she was like,

1661
01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 2: she was still nursing and she was back on the

1662
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 2: court fifty three days after having her daughter.

1663
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that is under two months.

1664
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 4: That's unbelievable.

1665
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 3: That is insane.

1666
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 2: That that is like talk about being a superhuman like

1667
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 2: goddess like creating life and then jumping right back onto

1668
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 2: the court like she.

1669
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 3: That's a super mama right there.

1670
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 2: So I'm just like all around, all around Candace Parker

1671
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 2: like so inspiring and especially for me now, I this is.

1672
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 3: My last radio show before.

1673
01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:35,759
Speaker 2: I hit maternity leave, and it is just like again,

1674
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 2: I love I've talked about this throughout the show, like

1675
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,120
Speaker 2: I've been told like by so many people, like how

1676
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:42,960
Speaker 2: are you still doing this?

Speaker 4: I'm like, cause it feels good. I love what I do.

1678
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 2: And similar to Candas, it's like when you love what

1679
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 2: you do, you want to get back out there as

1680
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 2: soon as you can, and so it's just yeah, it's

1681
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:57,760
Speaker 2: it's I love hearing these inspiring, badass mama stories of

1684
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 5: no doubt about that. Well, my feel good story, of course,

1685
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 5: involves a dog, and won't just any dog.

1686
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:12,840
Speaker 4: Tuger, Yes, Phillies.

1687
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 2: I was so happy I had this as a do

1688
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 2: and a don't, and I didn't, Okay, say yes, I

1689
01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 2: love this so much.

1690
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 5: So if you guys don't know, Tuger is honoring Tug McGraw,

1691
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 5: who spent ten seasons with the Phillies.

1692
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:26,479
Speaker 4: Uh huh.

1693
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 5: He's a tremendous reliever, and so they are honoring McGrath's

1694
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 5: memory because they're making him a service dog in training

1695
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,920
Speaker 5: and he will be even more than that one day.

1696
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 5: He was a marine before his baseball career, and he

1697
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:41,839
Speaker 5: will wind up being the service dog of a veteran

1698
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:45,679
Speaker 5: with a disability thanks to Team Foster and Warrior Canaan connection.

1699

01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 2: why don't more sports teams.

1702
01:18:53,320 --> 01:18:55,280
