15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 3: genius one. Matter of fact, Torres, We've been getting a

16
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: lot of tweets tonight, But guess what people are not

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 3: tweeting about?

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 4: The hot dogg any contest. I was just about to say,

19
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 4: the hot dog anty contest. Has it jumped the shark?

20
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: Because I know you say you're not into it, but

21
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 3: you've never been into it. It kind of grosses you

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: out a little bit.

23
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 4: I watched.

24
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 3: I was particularly interested in this year because Joeyesut was

25
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: back after what I believe a two year absence, But

26
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: it kind of went off flawlessly. He won by twenty three,

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: twenty four, whatever it was. It was never a race.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: It's the same thing every year, just shoving hot dogs

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: down your throat.

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: I mean, nobody was getting sick or anything like that.

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 3: But as it jumped the shark, do they have to

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: kind of add something else, like I.

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 4: Lower them out? They got pitchclock, we gotta.

34
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 3: Do something like after the ten minutes of hot dogs,

35
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: an extra five minutes bonus of Parogi's or something.

36
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 5: You gotta do a hundred yard sprint and you gotta

37
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 5: hold it down. Hey, let me ask you a question,

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: because remember what was it about? Probably a decade ago,

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 5: the Yukon women were just destroying everyone, and it became like,

40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 5: is Yukon Are the Yukon women actually bad for women's basketball?

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 5: Is Joey chest Out actually bad for the hot dog

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 5: eating catch?

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: No? No, no, no.

44
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 3: He's the only name that everybody knows though he's the

45
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: he's the big name and the only name that's what

46
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: people want to see. And I wonder what the TV

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: ratings are when he wasn't there the last couple of

48
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: years compared to this year.

49
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 4: That he was there. I bet you it was night

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 4: and day between the two. Yeah, it's like the opposite.

51
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: It's like, you know, people say, oh, I hate dynasties,

52
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 5: but then you know, you see the ratings for a

53
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 5: Lebron Steph finals versus a OKC Indie Finals. All right,

54
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 5: now here's the next question. I mean, Joey Chestnut clearly

55
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 5: is superior to all humans. Yes, does this come to

56
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: like remember when like Tyreek Hill Race Ta Cheetah, do

57
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 5: we have to get like a black bear or something?

58
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 5: Is Joey Chestnut have to compete against wildlife?

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: I know, I don't know what he has to do next,

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 3: but I do have to say this. Okay, how do

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 3: I put this? He's not very charismatic. I think if

62
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 3: he was better in front of the camera, and you know,

63
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: and of course he does a lot of interviews, but

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: I think if he showed more of a personality, he'd

65
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: be more of an icon, more of a name, more sponsors.

66
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 4: I'd believe it opened up more doors for him. Am

67
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 4: I wrong on that? Or or am I just looking

68
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 4: too deep into this thing, or he's.

69
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 5: All about the game man. He doesn't want all the

70
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 5: extra stuff. But he just doesn't know.

71
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: But he doesn't really He's okay on the interviews. He's

72
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: just not very charismatic in my opinion.

73
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't describe miss charismatic either. I mean, I'll

74
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 5: actually uh shait, I'm not gonna put you on the spot.

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 5: But Cavino and Rich had had him on a few

76
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 5: weeks ago, right, I mean, was he a good interview?

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: He goes on a lot interview.

78
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 5: That's the that's the that is the next year's thing.

79
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 5: Coveno and Rich versus Joey Chestnut. Oh, there you go,

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 5: the two of them against the one.

81
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: That's what I'm saying Fox Sports.

82
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 5: No, I think there's something too, not very charismatic. He's

83
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 5: also like the only guy that you know.

84
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: Like it was.

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 5: It was more interesting when Kobyashi used to be hot

86
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 5: and you knew both.

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: Like a Caitlin Clark there you go.

88
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not as fun when there's not the born

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 6: in your side.

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 5: So no, I think I I think it's an interesting thing.

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 5: I mean, listen, he is obviously a superstar. He's he's

92
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 5: obviously the greatest to ever do it. I I just

93
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 5: I just don't watch because I just think it's gross company.

94
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 3: People were there though there's still get good crowds, though

95
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 3: still still packed over there.

96
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: A lot of people still go to it, you know.

97
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 5: I will say for some reason, I think I must

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 5: have probably been working last July fourth, so that's probably why.

99
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: But I remember I must have tuned in last year

100
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 5: when he wasn't in it, because I do remember either

101
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 5: the attendance was down or it just felt like the

102
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 5: vibe was off or something. I can't remember. I feel

103
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 5: like I was filling in with Dan Biden.

104
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 4: We we were doing a show.

105
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 7: It was me and you.

106
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: We were filling in for Cavino and Rich.

107
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was during during the actual Yeah, watching it

108
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 6: and all that.

109
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: I don't know who the commentator was. But and I

110
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 3: hope people will get mad at me for saying this.

111
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 4: I think they need Stephen A. Smith as the commentator.

112
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 4: I mean, does everything.

113
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: I know.

114
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: I know people are burnt out on it, but I

115
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: think they need Steven Ay out there. You know, let

116
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 4: me tell you why Joe Chestnut, let.

117
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: Me tell you why he's the greatest. Look at him

118
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: go now, you know, why that's aboud Steve to Day,

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: that's a bad.

120
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 4: You think Steven A does a good army spaniard.

121
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: No, I don't think he knows who I am, so,

122
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: but I I think I think it'd be pretty funny.

123
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 4: You know, he was in Law and Order. I don't

124
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 4: know if you saw that one.

125
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 5: I just assassin Joe Chess or Steven Day Steve, I know,

126
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 5: and he ended up dying.

127
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 3: They killed him, Yeah, yeah, they killed him in the

128
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: in the episode, so it was it was a pretty

129
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 3: good So he did a good job there.

130
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: All right, we do have a lot to get to

131
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 4: this hour.

132
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 3: Like I said, if you want to jump in, erin

133
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 3: on the score Torres, I'm mistake a genius wanted.

134
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 4: If you want to comment on the Nathan's Outdog contest,

135
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: do you still watch it? Are you still intrigued?

136
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 3: If you weren't intrigued this year with Joey just not

137
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: coming back, then it's then you're never gonna be intrigued again,

138
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 3: and then you're gonna say forget about it unless they

139
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 3: do something different.

140
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 4: Maybe they do something new. I don't know. Maybe there's

141
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: mixed doubles, you know what I mean, Guys and girls,

142
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 4: I and add them up.

143
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 3: I gotta do something, Eric, you gotta gotta go ahead

144
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 3: and get the people to continue watching. So if you

145
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: want to come in on that, go ahead and get

146
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: hold of us through Twitter. I want to talk about

147
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,119
Speaker 3: what Paul George said when he was talking about Michael Jordan.

148
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 4: You know, Michael Jordan's now gonna be working for NBC.

149
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 3: He's gonna be a part of the pregame, and he said,

150
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan on NBC will drive interest for the NBA.

151
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: Do people still care what Michael says? And is he

152
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 3: gonna be intriguing enough? Is he gonna spill the is

153
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: he gonna give us the gossip?

154
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 4: Is he gonna tell us how he really feels or

155
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 4: is he gonna hold back a little bit? Because I

156
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: felt that was Tom Brady's downfall a little bit, that

157
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 4: he didn't give us the really juicy stuff that we

158
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 4: needed out there. Yeah.

159
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 5: No, I think it's a million dollar question. I think

160
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 5: the I think the biggest question is what is he

161
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 5: actually doing? Is he on a desk, is he in

162
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 5: the studio? Is he only doing interviews? Obviously, I don't

163
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 5: think any of us think he's calling games. So I

164
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 5: just think that becomes the question. And then I think,

165
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 5: you know, if he is in some sort of role

166
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: where he's giving opinions, is he gonna be honest? You know,

167
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: is he gonna is he going to share how he

168
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: really feels? Because like you know, we talk about like

169
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 5: inside the NBA, and why do people like inside the

170
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 5: It's because whether you agree with those guys or disagree,

171
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: they're brutally honest and they're not afraid to say how

172
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 5: they really feel.

173
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 4: And so I think that to me, it's really a

174
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: two pronged thing of what what is he doing?

175
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 5: And then again, if he's in an opinion role, is

176
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: he actually going to say stuff that's interesting or is

177
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 5: he going to be cookie cutter, maybe a little bit

178
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 5: blayd like Tom Brady.

179
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: That wasn't the first.

180
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: Question I thought of when you said, here are a

181
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: couple questions I want. The question I want to know

182
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 3: is why he has all the money in the world,

183
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 3: seems to be happy, you know, running every business. He's

184
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: got a gazillion of them. You know that, And I

185
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 3: know that, Aaron, Why why now? And why this job?

186
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: They can't be paid him nearly much for his time

187
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: that it's worth. You know that and I know that,

188
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: So why now and why come out and do this?

189
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 3: That's what I want to know. No, that's that's the

190
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: interesting part.

191
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: You know.

192
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 5: I heard some stuff, you know, because like everything is

193
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 5: you know, like if you remember the last dance. He

194
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 5: approved the last dance shortly after Lebron won that championship

195
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: in Cleveland, and there was thought of like, oh, he

196
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: kind of wanted to remind everybody of his legacy and

197
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: how he was right, and there was I saw something about,

198
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 5: you know, he did this so that something with Lebron

199
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 5: because Lebron will probably get in the media after he retires.

200
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: I don't know.

201
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 5: The only point I'm trying to make is that is

202
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 5: actually probably the best question.

203
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: And I was actually thinking about that as well. We

204
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 4: can't be the money, right the throw the money out

205
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 4: the window. It can't be because of the money. Let

206
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 4: me ask you a dumb question.

207
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 5: Do you think it has anything to do with and

208
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: he is working for NBC, like just that they have

209
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: obviously like they have ties to his era and it

210
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 5: kind of fits like I don't know that. I I

211
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 5: don't I mean, I don't know that I would see

212
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 5: him making sense on ESPN or TNT when they had

213
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 5: the channel, certainly not Amazon.

214
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 4: I don't know.

215
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 3: It's the only thing I could think of. Is he

216
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: putting together a TV show? And NBC said, if you

217
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: watch our back will wash yours.

218
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: I mean, that's the thing you think.

219
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: I have no idea, you know, I who knows movie

220
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 3: TV show?

221
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 4: You know Lebron's putting together stuff? Doesn't he has a

222
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: media company? He does? Yeah, he does.

223
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 3: Actually they lost a bunch of money, though that's beside

224
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 3: the point. Who knows what he's working on?

225
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 7: It?

226
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: The only think I can come up with. It's not

227
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 3: the money. Erny silly doesn't mean. How much is he

228
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: getting paid?

229
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 4: Do you think to do this pregame show for NBC?

230
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 6: Let me ask you, how much do you think he's

231
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 6: getting paid? I mean, think about it.

232
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 4: Ten million?

233
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 5: I was gonna say, if Brady or if Romo's getting

234
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 5: paid twenty Yeah, I know, what's a game. Yeah, I

235
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 5: was gonna say, I know it's a different role, but

236
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 5: I would think Michael Jordan's getting paid at least ten

237
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 5: and then to your good twenty million even you know,

238
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 5: do you think it's worth it for NBC? Does he

239
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 5: bring enough cachet that it's worth investing that kind of money.

240
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 3: Are you going to watch the pregame to see what

241
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: Michael's gonna say? Are you gonna say I'll just go

242
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: to Twitter. If he says anything crazy, I'll just pull

243
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: it off Twitter. Is he's still relevant enough or a?

244
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: You know, look, he's still a big name in the NBA,

245
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 4: but is he still relevant enough if he's not playing

246
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 4: that people want to hear what he's got to say.

247
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 5: To your point about why, maybe that is why? Because listen,

248
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 5: Arnie almost forty years old, man, which is crazy. I'm

249
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 5: of the last generation that actually remembers watching him, So

250
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: anyone under thirty five, so he basically the last great

251
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 5: year was ninety eight. Okay, so I guess what ninety

252
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 5: eight is now? What twenty seven years ago? So we're

253
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: talking about if you're not yeah, isn't that crazy? So like,

254
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 5: if you're under thirty five, you do not remember him?

255
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 5: And so how closer to twenty fifty than we are?

256
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: I saw that meme. I sent it to my wife.

257
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 5: She freaked out, and it is true. We're closer to

258
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 5: twenty fifty than we are to twenty twenty two, two thousand,

259
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 5: and I mean, but yeah, I know I mean, I

260
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: think that might be hit is like there is and

261
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 5: it's cliche, but it's true, Like there's a whole generation

262
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 5: of kids that are just like oh Jordan, the shoe

263
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 5: guy the night the sneaker guy. And I do wonder

264
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 5: if that's part of it. Is he's like wait a

265
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 5: second now, like y'all don't know who I am, what

266
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 5: I'm about, da da dah this and that you know.

267
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 4: You know have gotten that bad though? Wait wait, wait,

268
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: you don't know who I am and what I'm about.

269
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 4: There is YouTube, there is the Internet. There there are

270
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 4: highlights and something.

271
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 6: And here's the other question to it, is that gonna change?

272
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 5: Like if you're sixteen years old and you never saw

273
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 5: him play, like you know, like like as an example,

274
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 5: like I'm a little young to really remember Kareem, but

275
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 5: when I saw him on TV, that didn't immediately make

276
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 5: me like want to go find Kareem highlights?

277
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

278
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: So, but I mean, did you definitely have to be

279
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 3: in front of the TV when Belichick was gonna talk

280
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 3: or when he did the Manning cast? Do you were

281
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 3: you in front of the TV when Brady was first

282
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 3: doing the games? I got I got to hear what

283
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 3: he's got to say and who he's going to criticize.

284
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 3: And are those two guys, I mean, they're not as

285
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 3: big as MJ though, right, A little bit difference there.

286
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: I think Brady, you know that first it was a

287
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 5: Cleveland and the Cowboys, I believe was his first game

288
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 5: last year, and I I think there was an intrigue

289
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 5: of tuning in. I know he had done exhibition games,

290
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: but come on, but yeah, no.

291
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: I I I but there's a difference between doing games

292
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: and doing a pre range show where they can just

293
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: ask you questions and you have to give your opinion,

294
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 3: and you.

295
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 4: Know, like, hey, you know.

296
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 3: This team didn't look good in game two. What do

297
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: you think, Michael? What happened in game number two? Or

298
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: something like that?

299
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 5: You know, you know, I actually think has turned into

300
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 5: the best Like legend turn turned analyst is Nick Saban.

301
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 5: I don't know if you've ever heard him on game day,

302
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: but he's I've heard.

303
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: A little of Yeah, yeah, I hear a little bit

304
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 3: of him, but you know, but he's very candid, that's

305
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 3: for sure.

306
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 4: He is candid.

307
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: But yeah, so I can't I don't know, I'm curious,

308
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 5: you know, and at some point I would assume, and

309
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 5: I know he's Michael Jordan, so he kind of calls

310
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 5: the shots, but I would assume he's going to have

311
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 5: some sort of media availability about it.

312
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,719
Speaker 3: It's for the young generation though, you know what I mean,

313
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: That's what these pregame shows are for, right, It is

314
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: for the young generation. It's it's for like kids, what's

315
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 3: twenty to thirty years old?

316
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 6: Is he who watches pregame shows? I mean, I don't know.

317
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 5: I'm told the younger generations don't even watch games, they

318
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 5: just watch highlights, so I don't know if they're watching

319
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 5: the pregame show. But it is interesting, you know. I'll

320
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 5: say this is I can't speak to anybody else. I'll

321
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 5: probably watch the first one to see what it's about.

322
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 5: But I'm not gonna lie like if it's you know,

323
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: January ninth. And I think the other thing too, is

324
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 5: I don't know what days NBC is gonna have games.

325
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 5: I think I think they're gonna have games on Sunday nights.

326
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 4: It's gotta be a big game too.

327
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: It can't be well, you know here we are in

328
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: Charlotte or you know, something like that. It's got to

329
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: be like the Lakers or Oklahoma City or the Knicks

330
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: or something like that.

331
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: Yes, so it looks like NBC will carry Tuesday night

332
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 5: double headers, which is interesting in its own right.

333
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: And he's gonna fly Tuesday to the studio every every time.

334
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: I don't know, is he gonna do it? You know?

335
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 4: Do it? You think you think.

336
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 5: Steve Kirk can get him on the show for US?

337
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 5: I mean, I booked one guest, you got to get

338
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 5: the next one. So let's see.

339
00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 4: People will get curR on the line to meet.

340
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 5: Peacock will air games on Monday nights, and then NBC

341
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 5: and Peacock will present national coverage on Tuesdays, and then,

342
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 5: starting in early twenty twenty six, as the regular season

343
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 5: enters the home stretch, NBC will also launch Sunday Night

344
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 5: Basketball across NBC and Peacock. So yeah, that'll be obviously

345
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 5: after the NFL with Sunday Night Football.

346
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 3: So it'll be interesting to see exactly, you know, how

347
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: he's gonna do it, if he's gonna fly, And I

348
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: would die to find out how much that contract's worth,

349
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 3: you know.

350
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 4: Oh, I know?

351
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 5: And so really quick, do you have any theories on

352
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 5: why you think he chose to do this at this

353
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 5: point in his life.

354
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 3: I'm really not sure why unless he wants to come

355
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: out and remind people how great he was. I'm really

356
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 3: not sure why he's doing it because it can't be

357
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: because of the money. It really can't be because he's

358
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: going to enjoy the job. I bet he gets bored

359
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: with it real quick.

360
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 4: You know good, I mean magically did it for a

361
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: few years.

362
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 3: Right, you think he's gonna say a thing good and juicy,

363
00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 3: or he'll hold back a little bit.

364
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: Probably not. I don't want to offend anybody.

365
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, and it's interesting, right, I mean

366
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 5: I think I think what'll be interesting too with him specifically,

367
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 5: Like part of what has I think added to the

368
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 5: mystique is that he's not readily availed, like you know,

369
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 5: It's like, I think that's something that's hurt Lebron publicly,

370
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 5: is that not only is he playing, but he you

371
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 5: get his opinion on everything. To the point that we

372
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 5: talked about earlier in the show. He's very active on

373
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 5: social media, and it's like you get Lebron fatigues sometimes.

374
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 5: And I think that's what's kind of added to the

375
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 5: MJ mystique is that it's been hard to try. You know,

376
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 5: you don't hear from him, you don't hear his opinions.

377
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's kind of I think actually helped him

378
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 5: in a lot of ways because you know, you can't

379
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 5: accuse him of being the petty old guy that's just

380
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 5: jealous or whatever or you know what. Yeah, no, I'm serious,

381
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 5: Like I mean, because is that a criticism of like

382
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 5: Chuck and Shack and all the older players.

383
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: You know, he's not gonna be like Barkley though, There's

384
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: no way he's gonna be that.

385
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 4: He's not just gonna call everyone in San Antonio fat.

386
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: I was just about to say, you think Michael Jordan's

387
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 3: gonna call the women in San Antonio fat or something.

388
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: No, that's not happening.

389
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 3: He If he does, boy, that's gonna really make news,

390
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 3: isn't it?

391
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 4: Or what that would make news?

392
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 5: Yes, I mean if Barkley did it, I will tell

393
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 5: you completely unrelated to anything.

394
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 4: Final four this year was in San Antonio.

395
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 5: There is a great, like six minute clip on YouTube

396
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 5: that just says Charles Barkley making fun of San Antonio women.

397
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 5: And I was watching it in the airport on the

398
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 5: way to San Antonio just die.

399
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 4: Is it going to.

400
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: Affect sales for Nike if he offends anybody Michael Jordan,

401
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: any part of the country and he's select fan base.

402
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 4: Or anything like that, I would say I doubt it.

403
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I doubt it unless he says something really, really

404
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 3: bad like Barkley. I don't think it's gonna be a problem.

405
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 3: You want to get in though, real simple, Aaron underscore tours.

406
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,879

407
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 3: I want to get to some football. Did you hear

408
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 3: what Jamar Chase has to say? I want to tell

431
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: there during your three day weekend.

432
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 4: Aaron, I wanted to get to this topic.

433
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 3: I saw an article written by Greg Hman, He's an

434
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 3: NFL reporter. It was a couple of days ago. I

435
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: thought it was a very interesting, good article, and it

436
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 3: was titled what has happened to the home field advantage

437
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 3: in the NFL? In the twenty twenty four regular season,

438
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: home teams won fifty three point three percent of the time,

439
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 3: which basically equates to a nine and eight record over

440
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: an entire season. By the way, as a success rate

441
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 3: that didn't even put you in the playoffs. Last year,

442
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 3: he said, the middling success continues a recent a trend.

443
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty four was the fourth time in six years

444
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: that NFL home teams won fifty three percent of the

445
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: time or less. There were only four such seasons the

446
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 3: previous fifty covering the entire Super Bowl error. So one

447
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 3: more time in twenty twenty four was the fourth time

448
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 3: in six years that home team's won fifty three percent

449
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 3: of the time or less in the previous season. It's

450
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 3: only happened four times in fifty years. I found that remarkable.

451
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: What has happened to the home field advantage? Has it

452
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: just been a bad streak? Or what's going on here?

453
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: Has the regular fans been priced out and it's only

454
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 3: the rich fans that sit on their ass that go

455
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 3: to the games, like at the Cowboy games?

456
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: What's going on here? Tares?

457
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: It's a great question, and I feel like this is

458
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 5: the worst hour of radio I've ever done because I

459
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 5: don't have the answers to your actual game.

460
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 4: It's the same with Michael Jordan.

461
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 5: I actually, you know, I saw this topic, you sent

462
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 5: it to me throughout the day, and I obviously thought

463
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 5: about it. I don't have a good answer, though, I mean,

464
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,239
Speaker 5: do you have any thoughts on as to why that

465
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:00,679
Speaker 5: might be the.

466
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: Case that was one of them.

467
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: I think they're becoming very expensive, and there is a

468
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 3: big difference between the hoiity toity crowd the ones that

469
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 3: have a lot of money that go to the games

470
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: just to be seen, like going to a Laker game.

471
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 4: How would you think it takes to cost to go

472
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 4: to a Laker game? A lot of money? But we're

473
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 4: we're talking about the NFL.

474
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 3: You want to get four good seats a lot of

475
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 3: the you know, it's expensive. And besides, I believe that

476
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 3: a lot of the regular fans prefer to either go

477
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: to a sports bar or stay at home where everybody

478
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 3: has phenomenal TVs. Now fifty inch, eighty inch, one hundred

479
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: inch TVs that are high depf you actually get a

480
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 3: better view and a better picture and you don't get

481
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: to miss any of the other games. I believe that's

482
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 3: part of it, you know what I mean that that's

483
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: one of the reasons out there.

484
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 4: But other than that, But.

485
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 5: Real quick though on that, you say, oh, well, the

486
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 5: viewing experiences home is better, but they're stadiums are still

487
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 5: full though, Like it's not like you know, cause I

488
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 5: think in other sports, I know, like this is something

489
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 5: that I'm sure you and Chris Plank have talked about.

490
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 5: Is like in college football, like people just don't go

491
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 5: to games anymore. Like they'll still go to the big ones,

492
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 5: but it's like Alabama's had trouble selling out the ul

493
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 5: Monroe game or whoever, you know, because fans are just

494
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 5: like it's better at home. I don't want to watch

495
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 5: this lousy product. But I don't feel like that's the

496
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 5: case in the NFL. I still think people are showing

497
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 5: up outside of the fact that the viewing experience is

498
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 5: still very good at home.

499
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 4: Then why don't they make a difference? And that's the question.

500
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: Why does home field not make as much of a

501
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 3: difference as it used to be? And I'm maybe the

502
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: listeners know Aaron Underscorts ares, I'm it's thinking genius one.

503
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 3: Are they not as ratty? Are they not as boisterous?

504
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 3: I don't believe that to be the case now. I

505
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: think they're just as crazy as ever when they get

506
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: on the opposing team.

507
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 6: The only thing I can think of really quick, I know,

508
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 6: we want to get this cigarette.

509
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: That's okay.

510
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 5: I wonder how much of a factor all these quarterback

511
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 5: injuries have had. I mean, I guess quarterbacks always get hurt,

512
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: but it does, doesn't it feel like the last couple

513
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 5: of years, like there have been a disproportional number of

514
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 5: big name quarterbacks. So now all of a sudden, No,

515
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 5: you don't think so, because man, I'm just thinking out

516
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: loud here.

517
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 3: It's like we're going through like a fifty four year period,

518
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: so I have to think that has to even out

519
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 3: in the end, right, Yeah, I mean that.

520
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 4: That's a lot of years.

521
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 3: Only four times in the previous fifty years, and now

522
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 3: it's happened four times in the last six years where

523
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: they've won only fifty three percent or less, And you

524
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: would think that it would be that home field is

525
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: more nastier than ever with the way the crowds get

526
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 3: into it. And look, I've been look at the Raiders

527
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: where they dressed up in the end zone, and same

528
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 3: thing with the with the Browns. I'm not sure why

529
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: it's gotten to this point. I'm not sure why home field.

530
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 3: Is it just an exception. It's been a rough six years.

531
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: I I it's it's a tough and I asked I'm

532
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 3: lasting the listeners. I think they're just as dumbfounded as

533
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 3: we are. Why home field is not as big of

534
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 3: a deal as it is like in the NBA or

535
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 3: something like that. It's an interesting thing.

536
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 5: And like you said, because it's a four or five

537
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 5: six year period that we're talking about, I can't think

538
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 5: of anything good off the top of my head. Yeah,

539
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 5: you know, like like I said, cause it's it's not

540
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: just I understand the argument that, like again, the viewing

541
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: experience is home is better. But right, every time I

542
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: turn on a game, it's not like there's like huge

543
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 5: swaths of un you know, used seats or whatever.

544
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

545
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 6: I don't know.

546
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: Maybe the young people don't go anymore, and that's when

547
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 3: things become give you that home field advantage, when the

548
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,239
Speaker 3: young people are screaming and getting crazy and stuff like that.

549
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 3: I it's a tough call.

550
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 4: I'm not sure why.

551
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 3: Maybe it's easier for teams to get on the get

552
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 3: on the road and they have you know, chartered flights

553
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 3: or something, and it's easy to pull off the upset.

554
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 5: I don't know, man. And it's weird because how many

555
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 5: years was it? You said, For the last six.

556
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: For the last six years, the home teams won fifty

557
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 3: three percent or less.

558
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 5: And that's that's the part that's confusing. If it was

559
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 5: a one year trend, you could say whatever. But if

560
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 5: it's four out of the last six, yeah, I don't

561
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 5: get it.

562
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 3: Arnie, Well, we'll come back. I want to tell you

563
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 3: what Jamar Chase actually had to say. But I bet

564
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 3: you the Sagar's got the answer. He'll tell us why

565
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: it's going on. Let's see what's drending.

566
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 7: No, I'm the Aeron tourist lead. I have absolutely no idea. Well,

567
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 7: not everything is finally major League Baseball on this July

568
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 7: the fourth, But there is a game in Sacramento. You

Speaker 7: the eighth inning. That's the last game going Kansas City.

572
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,720

573
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 7: six RBIs for the Dodgers. Well, LA's biggest blowout loss

574
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 7: ever at Dodger Stadium tonight. It came to a point

575
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 7: where they just left the pitcher in Who cares if

576
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 7: he gives up ten runs in an inning? And Noah

577
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 7: Davis did give up ten runs in an inning the sixth,

578
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 7: so Houston eighteen to one. The final over the Dodgers.

579
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,239
Speaker 7: Lance McCullers junior got the win. He entered with an

580
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 7: ERA of over six and a half, pitched six quality

581
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 7: innings Tonight. Road wins for Baltimore and the White Sox.

00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 7: one at Cleveland. Guardians have lost eighth straight. Toronto won

00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 7: on a throwing air in the tenth, four to three

585
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 7: over the Angels. The Blue Jays have won six in

586
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 7: a row. They're first in their division, ahead of the

587
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 7: Yankees and Rays. Yankees lost their fifth straight, lost six

588
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 7: to five at the Mets. The Mets are getting close

589
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 7: to the lead again in the NL East, just a

590
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 7: half game behind the first place Phillies. Philadelphia lost at

591
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 7: home today nine to six to Cincinnati. The losing pitcher

592
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 7: was Jesu's Losardo two plus innings seven and four the record.

593
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 7: Minnesota beat Tampa Bay four to three on a solo

594
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 7: homer bottom of the ninth. Boston started the day with

595
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 7: an eleven two win at Washington. The victory to Lucasciolito.

596
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 7: The Cubs hit eight home runs. That's a free franchise

597
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 7: record for a franchise that has been around since the

598
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 7: eighteen hundreds. The Cubs at Wrigley eleven to three over

599
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 7: the rival Carlie That is unbelievable because it's Wrigley Field. Also,

600
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 7: that's their home stadium.

601
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure Dave Kingman playing today, what apps.

602
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 7: Shocked that this hasn't happened before. Michael Bush was playing

603
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 7: the role of Dave Kingman. He hit three, He went

604
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 7: four for four.

605
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 4: What do you think of Kingman's five RBIs?

606
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,119
Speaker 7: Do not ask Tommy Lissorda what he thought of Kingman's performance.

607
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 7: Seattle's cow Rawley hit two more homers. Mariners six nothing

608
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 7: over Pittsburgh. Raleigh with thirty five homers this year and

609
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 7: seventy four RBIs. By the way, the Yankees Aaron Judge

610
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 7: hit his thirty second home run of the season in

611
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 7: that loss at the Mets. The WNBA is off. Caitlin

612
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 7: Clark will miss a fifth straight game Saturday with groin injury.

613
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 7: She still hasn't gone full speed in practice.

614
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 4: Back to you, all right, thank you very much, Steve.

615
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: The sega you want to get in Aaron Aaron Torres,

616
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 3: Arnie Spaniels will say, Aaron Spaniard, that would have been good.

617
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 5: You can relations let the record show.

618
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 3: Aaron underscore Torres, I'm astinking genius one.

619
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 4: If you want to get a hold of us.

620
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 3: Jamar Chase reportedly, we have to say, reportedly said that

621
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 3: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes without Travis Kelcey was the same

622
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 3: as Kirk Cousins with a headband.

623
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: Do you believe that that's a real quote?

624
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: Arnie?

625
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh you do. Yeah, even if I didn't,

626
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: I hope it's real. I love that stuff. I eat

627
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 4: that stuff up. But yes, I do believe that.

628
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 3: Now, maybe he was kidding around, or you know, maybe

629
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 3: he was trying to you know, stick at to Kansas City.

630
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 3: But I do believe it was real. I certainly do.

631
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: Why you you think it was misquoted or what?

632
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 4: Well you sent it to me?

633
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 5: I said that at this point, Travis Kelcey is fatter

634
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 5: than you and I so, I mean, that's that's a

635
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 5: little mean, That's probably not true.

636
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: It just feels like a made up quote.

637
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: It's from It's a real website though, right, I mean

638
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 3: a real Twitter account.

639
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 4: Excoose me.

640
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 3: Well, it's NFL rumors us and they're a real account.

641
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 6: Three hundred and seventy four thousand.

642
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: There you go.

643
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 3: It's not like that NBA got No, it's not a centel.

644
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 4: I fall for the bogus ones all the time, but

645
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: this one's a real.

646
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 6: One, right, not that I can find. But you know whatever,

647
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 6: I did.

648
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 5: Let me ask you this though, for real, since I

649
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 5: don't think it's a real quote, but what do you

650
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 5: actually expect from the Chiefs, because I it's so funny

651
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 5: with them from the perspective of, like, we all watched

652
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 5: the game, forget the super Bowl, but we all watch

653
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 5: the games, we all know how lucky they are, and

654
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 5: we all default to like, at some point they have

655
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 5: to lose some of these coin flip games. But then

656
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 5: there's the opposite of what are they six years into

657
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 5: the Mahomes era and they never lose those games in

658
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: the regular season.

659
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 4: So I saw one of those TV.

660
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,959
Speaker 3: Guys saying, I forget which one it was, saying that

661
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 3: the Kansas City Chiefs drought is starting now that they

662
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 3: may go a while without another Super Bowl. I mean,

663
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: obviously the division's real hard. Forget about the Raiders. I

664
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 3: think Denver's going to be new and improved. They won

665
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: ten games last year, so you know, if they're better,

666
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: then you're looking at twelve games. Chargers out eleven wins,

667
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 3: but the Chiefs had fifteen. Is Travis Kelce he going

668
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: to come back strong or is he going to be

669
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: a guy that looks like he has one year to

670
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 3: go and he's on.

671
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 4: His last leg.

672
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: Remember the Chiefs pulled off a lot of games, I

673
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 3: mean a lot of one score games.

674
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 4: When's that eventually going to catch up to that? That's

675
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 4: what I mean.

676
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, But then the counter to that is we've been

677
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 5: saying that for three years and they just always win

678
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 5: those games. We said it all last year. I mean

679
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 5: they get week one, Week two, Week three. I mean

680
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 5: it's good and it just never caught up with them.

681
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 5: You know, well, I think I told you this last

682
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 5: time we were filling it. I don't think it's going

683
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 5: to be an exciting year for divisional races.

684
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 4: Six of the eight divisions already been decided. I don't

685
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 4: know if you know that.

686
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 6: Of the eight you said, yeah, So which to heaven

687
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 6: is the AFC East af.

688
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 4: The AFC AFC is already done Buffalo, Baltimore, the Texans

689
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 4: and Kansas City.

690
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: That's all done. They've already won their divisions. Right the

691
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: NFC East, we know it's Philadelphia. Yes, I mean, Washington

692
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 3: could put up a little bit of a fire, but

693
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 3: we know it's going to be Philadelphia. And in the North,

694
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: we we know it's going to be Detroit. So that

695
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 3: really just leaves the South and the West for us

696
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 3: to figure out. Is the West going to be the Rams?

697
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 3: The forty nine ers are gonna prop back up, and

698
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 3: I don't expect much from the Seahawks. Maybe Arizona makes

699
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: a little bit of a run. The South wide open,

700
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 3: you tell me where you want to go there. Those

701
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: are the only two divisions that haven't been decided.

702
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 5: So, but you were just talking about the Chiefs potentially

703
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 5: finally losing some one score games.

704
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they they they had they what did they

705
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 3: win like ten of them last year.

706
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 4: I think overall? Yeah, ten or eleven.

707
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 5: By the way, Paul Bill's Mafius' Arnie is just like Anchorman,

708
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 5: just will read anything that comes across the prompter.

709
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 4: So I am pretty much like that. Yeah.

710
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: A lot of people talking about the.

711
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 4: Stat we gave on home field.

712
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Colin said, is the fifty three percent due to

713
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 3: less hardcore fans going to the games, or because bigger

714
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 3: stadiums mean more tickets being bought by the opposing teams fans,

715
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 3: which eliminates the home field advantage.

716
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 4: Are there any those are good points too. Yeah.

717
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 6: I think the non die hard fan thing is relevant.

718
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 5: I mean, stadium size doesn't feel like it's changed all

719
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 5: that much from you know, forty to fifty years ago.

720
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: It's not that they were playing in eight thousand seat stadiums.

721
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: Now they're playing in seventy thousand seats stadiums.

722
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: You know, that is true. That is true about that.

723
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 3: Tiger says, Football is the one sport weren't away team

724
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: isn't challenged by the playing surface. Basketball is the shooter spot.

725
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 3: Baseball is a different field dimension. Hockey is getting screamed

726
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: up by the drunk fans six inches from your face. Yeah,

727
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 3: but it was different, Like we said, though it's only

728
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: happened four times in fifty years, now four times the

729
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 3: last six years.

730
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 4: Explain that.

731
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 5: That's the part that's confusing it. Like I said, if

732
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 5: it was a one off thing, you could explain it.

733
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 5: But it is clearly a trend that is officially a thing.

734
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 5: But I can't figure out why that thing is a

735
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 5: thing the way that it is.

736
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 3: And by the way, CP three says, I don't think

737
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 3: Michael Jordan is going to hold back in his criticism. Wow,

738
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: Chris Pauling, And that's cool. Well, that that's what they're

739
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 3: paying for, right, Aaron. They they want the job stuff.

740
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 5: I don't know what they're paying for. That's the interesting part.

741
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 5: What are they paying for.

742
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 4: Or not paying for? His good looks? They want the

743
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 4: good stuff, you know.

744
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 3: They want the gossip, they want the storytelling, they want the.

745
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 5: Well, maybe we'll start telling me to gossip. I mean,

746
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 5: those are two completely different things.

747
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: Well, gossip and stories we've never heard before from man,

748
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 3: when's the last time MJ told us a story that

749
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 3: we went wow, that is something like Charles Barkley, you know,

750
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 3: when's the last time we got something like that out

751
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 3: of him?

752
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: Well?

753
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 6: Never, because he never really talks public except for the

754
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 6: last Dance.

755
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,200

00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,479
Speaker 7: covered yet tonight. It is July the fourth, and late

781
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 7: night July the fourth at that which means this is

782
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 7: the anniversary of one of the greatest National League games

783
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 7: of our lifetime.

784
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 4: Mets Astros was that what it was?

785
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 9: It was Mets at Atlanta.

786
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 4: Oh, Atlanta.

787
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 9: That's forever known as the Rick Camp game.

788
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 7: And I remember it was Atlanta because all the Braves

789
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 7: games used to be on TBS. I as a young

790
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 7: guy in the summer, stayed up late to watch this

791
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 7: game on TBS, and I remember it distinctly because there

792
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 7: were a couple of rain delays. It was very late

793
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 7: at night. The Mets manager had been kicked out. The Mets,

794
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 7: of course, mid eighties, were a great team. They fell

795
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 7: behind Atlanta, giving up four runs bottom of the ninth.

796
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 7: Mets tied it up in the ninth. Anyway, Mets took

797
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 7: the lead in the thirteen, scoring two. They give up

798
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 7: two in the bottom of the thirteenth. It's still going.

799
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 7: We're past midnight, we're past one am. In Atlanta. Forty

800
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 7: five thousand people had bought tickets to this and there

801
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 7: were nowhere close to a fireworks show at the end

802
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 7: of this.

803
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 9: Game yet, because the game is still going.

804
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 7: The guy who's the Mets TV analyst now Keith and And

805
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 7: is hit for the cycle in that game.

806
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 4: Didn't The Atlanta pitcher hit a home run in that game.

807
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,240
Speaker 7: The Atlanta pitcher had to beat because they were out

808
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 7: of hitters. They had fallen behind eleven to ten in

809
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 7: the eighth, but Trojan was one of the options instead.

810
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 7: Rick Camp game up. It is forever known as the

811
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 7: Rick Camp game. And the announcer for TBS, the guy

00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 7: with the Braves was seventy four, and he'd had almost

833
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 7: two hundred plate appearances. He had literally never hit a

834
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,320
Speaker 7: home run in his major league career for his minor

835
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 7: league career, and to top it off, this was the

836
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 7: last year of his major league career, nineteen eighty five.

837
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 7: He ties the game, to say the least, way after midnight,

838
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 7: and so they go to a nineteenth inning. He takes

839
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 7: the mound and gives up five runs. The Mets take

840
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 7: the lead sixteen to eleven bottom of the nineteenth.

841
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 9: This is after three in the morning.

842
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 7: The Braves get a couple of runs, they put a

843
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 7: couple on. It's two outs bottom of the nineteenth and

844
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 7: whose turn is it to bat?

845
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 9: This same reliever, Rick.

846
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 7: Camp comes up a home run would tie the game again,

847
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 7: and he strikes.

848
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 9: Out to end it. And at four in the morning

849
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 9: in Atlanta.

850
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 7: They start the fireworks show and the surrounding neighborhood with

851
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 7: the explosions wakes up. People are calling nine to one

852
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 7: one they think the actual emergency. This was an astounding

853
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 7: night of baseball. It was a six hour plus game

854
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:02,680

00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 9: Just an amazing night.

859
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 4: That is unbelievable. That is great.

860
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: I think I flew from like Phoenix to Tucson and

861
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 3: the game was still.

862
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: Going on, and when I landed it was crazy.

863
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 7: It was that many hours. Well, we did have an

864
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 7: eighteen to one game in the National League tonight. Well,

865
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 7: an XNL team Houston got the win at Dodger Stadium

866
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 7: and the star was an XNL player, a guy that

867
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 7: used to be Arizona's first baseman. Christian Walker, very familiar

868
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 7: with LA's stadium, had four hits there tonight, four RBIs,

869
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 7: including a homer. In fact, he has homered in six

870
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 7: straight games he's played at Dodger Stadium.

871
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 4: Wow.

872
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 7: And since the start of twenty eighteen, Christian Walker has

873
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 7: homered there twenty times. That is eight more than any

874
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 7: other visitor at Dodger Stadium in that span. We mentioned

875
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 7: earlier the pitching problems with the injuries the Dodgers had,

876
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 7: so the starter tonight was Ben Casparius. He gave up

877
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 7: three homers in his three innings. In relief, Noah Davis

878
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 7: of LA allowed ten runs in the sixth Dodger infielder

879
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 7: Miguel Rojas pitched the top of the ninth. I saw

880
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 7: one of his pitches was forty miles an hour. Oh man,

881
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 7: we had a guy in our little league that could

882
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 7: pitch sixty.

883
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 4: Seconds seventy now geez it.

884
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 7: Was LA's biggest blowout loss ever at Dodger Stadium, which

885
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 7: opened in nineteen sixty two.

886
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 4: Unbelievable. Love that story about the old Vets Atlanta game.

887
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 4: Oh I love that all right.

888
00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 3: Look, three hours are in the books, the power hours gone.
