- 0:18Speaker 3: It's really interesting watching the NBA Finals in the Stanley
- 0:22Speaker 3: Cup Final, because I had, at least initially it's it's
- 0:26Speaker 3: gone away. I didn't want the Knicks to win because
- 0:30Speaker 3: I Nicks fan, bothers me that they hold themselves in
- 0:33Speaker 3: this air.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Knicks fan, it's Nicks celebrity fan.
- 0:37Speaker 3: No, but you see the videos of the bing bong
- 0:40Speaker 3: guys doing, you know, the outside the masson square guard.
- 0:43Speaker 4: You know what part of me is like, Hey, it's
- 0:45Speaker 4: good for basketball, sure, for New York to be celebrating
- 0:49Speaker 4: the sport.
- 0:49Speaker 1: It's why I have calmed on this.
- 0:51Speaker 3: I've calmed on it. I just it always felt to
- 0:53Speaker 3: me that Knicks fans held themselves in the same air
- 0:55Speaker 3: as like the Lakers and Celtics. It's like, you're not that,
- 0:57Speaker 3: but I've I've waned on that. Vegas obviously still hate.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Here's the problem. Though both of these series have been
- 1:05Speaker 3: incredibly fun. They've been really good, even the Vegas series
- 1:12Speaker 3: most to score four straight in the second look like
- 1:16Speaker 3: the game's over, and then to allow three goals in
- 1:20Speaker 3: thirty seconds in the third and the game tire now
- 1:23Speaker 3: with a minute forty left, only to come back and
- 1:26Speaker 3: win in double overtime is unbelievable.
- 1:32Speaker 1: I know you're mad.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Still, yeah, I'm mad, Okay, So that's a given. Thank you,
- 1:39Speaker 2: Thank you, Bret. I've realized that in a series that
- 1:43Speaker 2: has no bearing on my life whatsoever, I mean zero,
- 1:49Speaker 2: I am overly emotional about this, I really am. And
- 1:53Speaker 2: it's not healthy because there's no way on God's green Earth.
- 2:00Speaker 2: After Carolina comes back scores four straight to tie the games,
- 2:04Speaker 2: and it's a double ot that God is going to
- 2:07Speaker 2: allow a goal off escape blade. Yeah, well they've got
- 2:12Speaker 2: I'm telling you, dude. When when this series is over
- 2:17Speaker 2: and they do the series autopsy, right, I hope they
- 2:21Speaker 2: get into the Vegas Golden Knights and find out where
- 2:23Speaker 2: that horsehoe is buried, because it's vic it's buried so
- 2:27Speaker 2: far in someone's body cavity, it's probably not findable by
- 2:31Speaker 2: a friggin' that cat scan.
- 2:33Speaker 4: That last goal in double overtime where a harmless puck
- 2:39Speaker 4: goes off the inboard and finds its way to the
- 2:42Speaker 4: back of the net without a single golden Knight in
- 2:46Speaker 4: the vicinity is amazing to me.
- 2:50Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 2:50Speaker 2: I just but you don't understand how much it pisses
- 2:52Speaker 2: me off. It's and you truly have no idea how
- 2:56Speaker 2: that makes me seethe inside as a human being.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Here's the comparison I made in the appetizer or what
- 3:01Speaker 1: do you think? It's unhealthy? Brett?
- 3:03Speaker 2: You know what it's unhealthy.
- 3:04Speaker 1: It would be like a basketball shot.
- 3:06Speaker 4: You'd throw the ball, it goes off some dude's forehead
- 3:09Speaker 4: in the front row, pop the scoreboard.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And into the net.
- 3:15Speaker 3: So here's the comparison I made pretty much with Vegas
- 3:18Speaker 3: because everything about them just feels like there is a
- 3:22Speaker 3: I hate using a word like this, but a destiny,
- 3:25Speaker 3: like an inevitability, a fate. So was it twenty eleven?
- 3:30Speaker 3: Is that when TBO had that crazy year?
- 3:32Speaker 1: Is that what it was?
- 3:33Speaker 3: Or was that twenty ten?
- 3:34Speaker 1: And asked me years? Okay, whenever that was?
- 3:38Speaker 3: And every week all these talking head shows, I'm sure
- 3:41Speaker 3: you guys did the same thing here. You'd get on
- 3:43Speaker 3: the air on Monday after the Broncos somehow someway last
- 3:46Speaker 3: second win a game nine to seven, or something, and
- 3:50Speaker 3: he'd say, how the hell do you do that again?
- 3:52Speaker 1: Right, like, how did that happen? Again?
- 3:54Speaker 3: No business in winning that game?
- 3:55Speaker 1: And yet we won. And the only conclusion you could
- 3:59Speaker 1: come to because as.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Far as anybody I've ever seen, as much of a
- 4:04Speaker 3: god fearing man as anyone is Tim Tebow. And you
- 4:08Speaker 3: got to say, you know what, it's the big man upstairs. Well,
- 4:11Speaker 3: Vegas is sin City. There's something evil underneath here that's
- 4:15Speaker 3: going on with this team because there is no way
- 4:18Speaker 3: that every time something good can happen for them in
- 4:22Speaker 3: the most crucial of moments, it does. It's inexplicable, and
- 4:27Speaker 3: they are just it feels like, you know, Bensy said
- 4:31Speaker 3: after the series was done that you ran into a
- 4:34Speaker 3: buzzsaw in Vegas. Maybe that's just the case. Maybe it's
- 4:39Speaker 3: just this team that finished what twenty first, twenty third
- 4:41Speaker 3: in the league and wins this year, has somehow got
- 4:44Speaker 3: all of the right corrective juices.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Go in there.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Way, then we go back to that trust thing you
- 4:48Speaker 4: talked about, how do you trust anything in hockey? If
- 4:51Speaker 4: that's the case, that's if that's so likely in the
- 4:54Speaker 4: sport of hockey, how do you how do you go
- 4:59Speaker 4: through a regular seat and so I mean you're a
- 5:01Speaker 4: wagon and then all of a sudden, how do you
- 5:03Speaker 4: anticipate that, I don't know.
- 5:04Speaker 2: What a shot off the ndboards with the ricochets, threw
- 5:07Speaker 2: a dude and off a skate blade and end.
- 5:09Speaker 4: How do you anticipate another team getting into the postseason
- 5:12Speaker 4: with thirty eight wins and then suddenly going crazy? Well,
- 5:15Speaker 4: I will say, what, how do anticipate that?
- 5:17Speaker 2: I mean, it happens. The La Kings won their first
- 5:20Speaker 2: Stanley Cup is an eight seed. Now, they were a
- 5:23Speaker 2: team that could not score all season long. They made
- 5:26Speaker 2: the trade with Philly, if you recall, they got two
- 5:33Speaker 2: huge pieces and then they could suddenly score a goal.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Jonathan Quick was amazing that year. This is the first
- 5:40Speaker 2: first King's Cup they won as an eight seed. They
- 5:44Speaker 2: won on the road the entire postseason. But that was
- 5:48Speaker 2: they found something in terms of goal scoring, like something
- 5:52Speaker 2: tangible to their game.
- 5:54Speaker 3: Yeah, it was Jeff Carter.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And Mike Richards came over from Philly that year and
- 6:01Speaker 2: both those guys really helped spark offensively the La Kings
- 6:04Speaker 2: being able to put the puck in the net. That
- 6:06Speaker 2: was a tangible, real thing. Hey man, We're a killer
- 6:09Speaker 2: defensive team. We have the best.
- 6:10Speaker 1: Goalie in the league.
- 6:12Speaker 2: We scrap, we play hard, We do all this stuff
- 6:15Speaker 2: just so we don't have enough firepower to even get
- 6:17Speaker 2: by teams. Would they make it as an eight seed?
- 6:20Speaker 2: And they had done the deal in March, their offense
- 6:23Speaker 2: kicked up and then they won on a roll. Now
- 6:25Speaker 2: that was one thing. You have a team that's bouncing
- 6:29Speaker 2: around all season long, hadn't been a playoff team since December, right, yeah,
- 6:35Speaker 2: bouncing around. Man, You got teams with more wins that
- 6:39Speaker 2: did not make the playoffs period. They changed their freaking coach,
- 6:45Speaker 2: and they find whatever it is I called it fuzz,
- 6:48Speaker 2: that universal fuzz, that feel, that intangible. I don't know
- 6:54Speaker 2: how you grasp it. What a mark Stone call it?
- 6:56Speaker 1: I don't know, man, It's an energy.
- 6:58Speaker 2: It's an energy, man, mark stogus. We just have this energy. Well,
- 7:03Speaker 2: how do you quantify energy?
- 7:04Speaker 1: Well, what's energy? When you're up for nothing?
- 7:06Speaker 4: Give up four straight and it looks like you're about
- 7:08Speaker 4: to lose a game in the most collapsed fashion ever.
- 7:11Speaker 3: Okay, so listen to this.
- 7:12Speaker 1: This is what I think is really interesting about both
- 7:14Speaker 1: of these series.
- 7:15Speaker 3: At once. The Knicks are doing the same thing the
- 7:19Speaker 3: Knicks had, they had a ninety three percent chance to lose.
- 7:23Speaker 3: According that game, Gradi lost in game one ninety. Then
- 7:28Speaker 3: they have a lead that they just kick away just
- 7:31Speaker 3: san Antonio.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Wemby suddenly throws it off the teammate's back.
- 7:36Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Can I want to talk about the final few shots
- 7:40Speaker 4: of that game? Okay, Wemby jump shots from fifteen to
- 7:44Speaker 4: twenty feet?
- 7:45Speaker 1: Why I know.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Why you're seven foot five, bro?
- 7:50Speaker 2: Why you could just go to the rim and you
- 7:52Speaker 2: could stand at the rim and just drop it in
- 7:54Speaker 2: with one hand.
- 7:56Speaker 1: I don't know. Am I the only one who noticed that?
- 7:57Speaker 3: Although I do?
- 7:58Speaker 2: Dude, I love a good mid d you understand I'm
- 8:01Speaker 2: not going to complain about it.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Take a look at his last three misshots in that game.
- 8:04Speaker 4: They were all mid range jump shots.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Yep. Reason, I don't know.
- 8:08Speaker 3: But here's what Here's what hit me. And this is
- 8:11Speaker 3: what's really weird. The Knicks and Vegas have a thing.
- 8:20Speaker 1: When the game.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Matters, they produce that's that's a real tangible winning thing.
- 8:28Speaker 4: And they have players who do like Mark Stone for Vegas, yep,
- 8:32Speaker 4: Jalen Brunson for the Nie.
- 8:35Speaker 3: And here's what's funny. You know, we talk about the Avs.
- 8:38Speaker 3: Maybe they just didn't deal with adversity over the course
- 8:42Speaker 3: of the year and then they got hit with it
- 8:43Speaker 3: in the Vegas series. Didn't respond right.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Maybe things were too easy.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Well, think about the Knicks for a second. The Knicks
- 8:48Speaker 3: have beat everybody by an average of twenty points heading
- 8:50Speaker 3: into this NBA Final. Then for two consecutive games in
- 8:54Speaker 3: different ways, they make a furious comeback in Game one.
- 8:57Speaker 3: In this they blow a lead, and yet still when
- 9:01Speaker 3: it mattered most they made the plays.
- 9:03Speaker 1: They're dealing with it just fine. And here's what I
- 9:05Speaker 1: think is funny.
- 9:07Speaker 2: If we were funny ha ha funny or funny quirky,
- 9:10Speaker 2: funny quirky.
- 9:12Speaker 3: If we were to take at the beginning of the
- 9:14Speaker 3: respective seasons of the Nuggets, Avs, and Broncos and said
- 9:18Speaker 3: who has the best to lease shot of winning a championship,
- 9:23Speaker 3: it would have been in some order, Avs Nuggets first,
- 9:25Speaker 3: AVS Nuggets second, Broncos third. The Broncos made it farther
- 9:32Speaker 3: than any of these teams and were the closest of
- 9:35Speaker 3: any of the teams. Why because when it mattered, that
- 9:39Speaker 3: team played well.
- 9:40Speaker 1: When they needed to make.
- 9:42Speaker 3: A play every single time the Broncos made Well, look
- 9:45Speaker 3: at that Buffalo time.
- 9:46Speaker 4: Hey, the Buffalo Bills probably left here thinking of the
- 9:49Speaker 4: Broncos much the same way we're thinking of the Vegas Knights.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Thatactly, where's there's gotta be a horseshoe buried? Yeah, somewhere
- 9:56Speaker 2: in somebody's body.
- 9:58Speaker 4: Jawon McMillan play, probably sitting there going how m hm
- 10:02Speaker 4: how And the only way that that stops was when
- 10:05Speaker 4: Bonix was out of the lineup.
- 10:06Speaker 3: That was it and still they almost did it still,
- 10:10Speaker 3: And I just think that is a tangible, real winning skill.
- 10:15Speaker 1: What is that?
- 10:16Speaker 3: I don't know, a grit, It's it's.
- 10:20Speaker 1: A belief that you're never out of it and you
- 10:23Speaker 1: never panic.
- 10:24Speaker 2: So that is so is that the physical nature of
- 10:27Speaker 2: these players, speed, pursuit ability, leaping ability, verticals, strength of
- 10:35Speaker 2: the talent. Okay, it's not talent, right exactly, That's what
- 10:39Speaker 2: I'm saying.
- 10:40Speaker 1: It's not a talent thing.
- 10:41Speaker 2: It's it's something that you capture as a championship team
- 10:46Speaker 2: that is inexplicable. You know it's there, vic you can
- 10:49Speaker 2: see it, you can feel it, but you can't touch it,
- 10:52Speaker 2: you can't explain it. You can't describe it.
- 10:57Speaker 1: But you almost curse that?
- 10:59Speaker 2: Did I curse last week? Yea close, Nellie? How quick
- 11:03Speaker 2: are you in the dump button?
- 11:05Speaker 1: Lightning fast?
- 11:07Speaker 2: I think this week is the week I may. I mean,
- 11:11Speaker 2: I can feel and all the kids that well, there's
- 11:14Speaker 2: no kids going to school right now, right there's no
- 11:15Speaker 2: kids with their parents going to school like they typically do.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Listening to this.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Jam Kel is still going to daycare. You watch your mouth.
- 11:23Speaker 1: She listening on her way in.
- 11:24Speaker 3: She listens to daddy on the way.
- 11:25Speaker 4: In hype Nut shout out to conn birth. I did
- 11:29Speaker 4: an event yesterday. Connor listens with his father every day
- 11:33Speaker 4: on the way to school. There's a lot of kids
- 11:35Speaker 4: listening with their fathers and mothers on the way to school.
- 11:38Speaker 2: No school right now.
- 11:38Speaker 3: So what I'm saying, by the way, if you think
- 11:40Speaker 3: you have some sort of threshold, that's going to mean you.
- 11:42Speaker 3: You cursed talking about Carlos Alcarez once me. No, you
- 11:46Speaker 3: cursed talking about Josel too. Once you cursed talking about.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Dude. There was five hundred bucks on the line. I
- 11:55Speaker 2: don't think that was real. He opened up his walk
- 12:00Speaker 2: money inside. Anyway, this may be the week where I
- 12:03Speaker 2: f I don't know. I can't predict it. But this
- 12:06Speaker 2: is so that our text thread of US hockey dudes,
- 12:10Speaker 2: Tom Watson.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Almost I forgot about it. I forgot that, I forgot
- 12:21Speaker 1: Tom Watson.
- 12:21Speaker 2: Tom Watson, yes, he almost won the dang thing. But dude,
- 12:26Speaker 2: but dude, on our text thread, my text thread with
- 12:29Speaker 2: our guys Reich's and Johnny and Connor and Lee and Kyle.
- 12:35Speaker 2: For me, it's that's where I get my f's out.
- 12:38Speaker 2: If I need to unload, like a bucket of f's,
- 12:40Speaker 2: it's on that text thread. But I'm telling you right now, dude,
- 12:43Speaker 2: everybody is disgusted with what's going on.
- 12:46Speaker 3: But you can't be disgusted with a team that's doing
- 12:48Speaker 3: the right things in the crucial moments.
- 12:52Speaker 2: Shape Theodore did the right thing.
- 12:54Speaker 1: He missed the net and banged it off the end.
- 12:57Speaker 1: He just banged it. Puts your put yourself in position.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Nico Ranton and was falling down.
- 13:04Speaker 3: This is two years ago.
- 13:05Speaker 2: And he rammed himself into the end boards and threw
- 13:08Speaker 2: it off a skate on accident.
- 13:10Speaker 1: I can make the same claim to be totally blunted.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Don't don't you even be blinding.
- 13:14Speaker 2: I know I'm not I'm not in for.
- 13:15Speaker 4: Blunt J Kwon McMillan is falling down with the receiver
- 13:19Speaker 4: and ends up with the ball.
- 13:21Speaker 1: You don't think Edmonton or I'm sorry, Saint Louis people are.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Like Eric Johnson just bangs it off the boards to Sun.
- 13:28Speaker 4: You don't think they could be doing that e J
- 13:30Speaker 4: to L C across our he jda L whatever. You
- 13:33Speaker 4: know what I'm saying. But the Abs were the better team.
- 13:36Speaker 4: They were they were the better team. I mean they
- 13:38Speaker 4: the two games they lost in that series they blew.
- 13:41Speaker 1: Me most.
- 13:42Speaker 4: But the one thing that I can't get over. I
- 13:45Speaker 4: understand catching breaks and winning games that are close. I
- 13:50Speaker 4: can't get over taking ay three nothing lead, three nothing lead.
- 13:55Speaker 1: You're talking Vegas.
- 13:57Speaker 2: He's talking about Game three.
- 13:59Speaker 1: It's three nothing.
- 14:01Speaker 4: You're doing everything right, and then in the blink of
- 14:04Speaker 4: an eye, it all came crashing down that power game.
- 14:09Speaker 4: To me, that's when the series was lost. I know,
- 14:12Speaker 4: the first two games you could make arguments, but that's
- 14:15Speaker 4: when your heart is torn out. You take your heart,
- 14:18Speaker 4: you carve into your chest, tear it out.
- 14:20Speaker 3: But Vic Vegas just did that plus a goal over
- 14:24Speaker 3: the weekend and still one I know.
- 14:27Speaker 4: But that's the point. The point is you can't even
- 14:31Speaker 4: a three nothing lead wasn't enough.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean to go, I can't.
- 14:39Speaker 3: What's crazy to me is, well, we're talking about here
- 14:42Speaker 3: more than anything else, feels like just confidence in those moments.
- 14:46Speaker 3: For you to be up four to nothing and to
- 14:49Speaker 3: have it be four to three within thirty seconds, it's
- 14:51Speaker 3: crazy thirty seconds. And then to give it you kind
- 14:55Speaker 3: of settled in for a little bit and at the
- 14:57Speaker 3: very end of the third period to give up the
- 14:59Speaker 3: game time that is automatic.
- 15:01Speaker 1: We blew it.
- 15:02Speaker 3: This game's over, Carolina wins.
- 15:04Speaker 1: And they still won. And Carolina was hunting for the
- 15:07Speaker 1: game winner. Yeah they were.
- 15:09Speaker 4: I thought, you win that game, you break their backs. Nope,
- 15:14Speaker 4: didn't happen.
- 15:15Speaker 3: So we'll get back to this in a bit. Three
- 15:17Speaker 3: oh three, five oh four oh nine two five. So
- 15:21Speaker 3: here's what's a really interesting wrinkle to a story from
- 15:25Speaker 3: over the weekend.
- 15:26Speaker 1: And it's terrible.
- 15:27Speaker 3: If you guys have seen some of the details that
- 15:29Speaker 3: Jonathan Cooper story, it's bad, bad.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Now.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I don't know what happens. I don't know what punishment
- 15:34Speaker 1: there is.
- 15:35Speaker 3: But I think there's a bigger question here because I
- 15:37Speaker 3: don't think they've dealt with this yet, how does ownership
- 15:41Speaker 3: react to stuff like this, because I don't think they've
- 15:43Speaker 3: been put in the position since taking over of something
- 15:45Speaker 3: quite like this yet. I want to talk about it next.
- 15:48Speaker 3: All right, So the details from this Jonathan Cooper story
- 15:51Speaker 3: over the weekend, they're bad, and I don't ever know
- 15:54Speaker 3: what the policies are for the NFL and situations like this.
- 15:59Speaker 3: It contains one of the most insane sentences I've ever
- 16:03Speaker 3: read in a police report that. She also said Cooper
- 16:11Speaker 3: threatened to break her phone if she did not leave,
- 16:13Speaker 3: then put the device in his mouth and ate it.
- 16:15Speaker 4: That's the one that got me. He bit and broke
- 16:19Speaker 4: the phone. I want you to try right now to
- 16:23Speaker 4: bite your phone.
- 16:24Speaker 1: I'd rather not.
- 16:25Speaker 4: That is not an easy task to undertake. Bite and
- 16:29Speaker 4: break your phone.
- 16:32Speaker 3: She said the phone contained irreplaceable messages and voice notes
- 16:35Speaker 3: from her late mother, which Cooper was aware of. So
- 16:37Speaker 3: that's a whole other detail on this too.
- 16:40Speaker 4: Well, I mean you could still get him the cloud, Well,
- 16:42Speaker 4: you'd say, let me. Just because somebody eats your phone
- 16:45Speaker 4: doesn't mean those are all gone. I don't know how
- 16:49Speaker 4: clouds work. All I'm saying is to rather than eat
- 16:52Speaker 4: a piece of paper like some people do, like you
- 16:54Speaker 4: have a secret code.
- 16:56Speaker 3: He ate the phone, uh huh, put the phone in
- 17:00Speaker 3: his mouth and chomped on it. I just never seen
- 17:03Speaker 3: that detail, allegedly, allegedly, And that's what all of this is,
- 17:07Speaker 3: you know.
- 17:08Speaker 1: That's why I don't like doing this to make that
- 17:11Speaker 1: one up true. But here's my question for a lot
- 17:16Speaker 1: of allegedlies. But someone says he ate my phone, I think, what's.
- 17:24Speaker 3: A wrinkle that we don't know in this story? Is
- 17:27Speaker 3: to my knowledge and you guys help me out here,
- 17:30Speaker 3: I don't think the Walton Penner group has had something
- 17:32Speaker 3: like this since they've taken over.
- 17:34Speaker 4: I was talking to somebody from the Broncos about this
- 17:37Speaker 4: last night.
- 17:39Speaker 1: It's been a while, so you weren't here yet. Who
- 17:44Speaker 1: was the kicker that hid out in the bushes? Trader?
- 17:47Speaker 1: The prader hide in the in the bushes?
- 17:49Speaker 3: Well, I know he had it.
- 17:50Speaker 4: No, that was somebody else that hid in the bush,
- 17:53Speaker 4: who hid like a leaf pile or something something who
- 17:56Speaker 4: went to I don't remember. But when you weren't here, Brett,
- 18:00Speaker 4: this is free Brett. The Broncos had an issue. They
- 18:04Speaker 4: had a problem. Yeah, there were guys on on the
- 18:08Speaker 4: criminal radar on a weekly monthly basis. Shit happened a lot,
- 18:13Speaker 4: a lot. It's been a long time since we've heard
- 18:15Speaker 4: a story of this nature. It's been a long time.
- 18:18Speaker 4: Credit to the new regime. Credit for them.
- 18:21Speaker 1: What are you laughing about?
- 18:23Speaker 2: AI is so stupid, I said Denver Bronco, who hid
- 18:28Speaker 2: in a leaf pile?
- 18:29Speaker 1: It says this.
- 18:29Speaker 2: You're likely thinking of Hall of Fame quarterback John l
- 18:31Speaker 2: Went What he didn't literally hide in a in a
- 18:36Speaker 2: fall leaf pile, but he performed. But he performed on
- 18:39Speaker 2: season twelve of the Mass singer Oh come on as
- 18:41Speaker 2: the leaf sheep a type of c slug vegetation. See
- 18:46Speaker 2: this is where damn cases where AI used trust the computers?
- 18:50Speaker 1: Yeah, who was the guy that?
- 18:54Speaker 2: Remember he was being They were looking for me and
- 18:56Speaker 2: he hid in the No, it was bark like he
- 18:58Speaker 2: hit like in bark.
- 18:59Speaker 1: It was a defensive back. He hid like in Bark.
- 19:02Speaker 4: It was a defensive a white defensive back. That's how
- 19:06Speaker 4: I remember it.
- 19:08Speaker 1: That's it. That's all I got for you.
- 19:11Speaker 3: But here's what I think is is like the the
- 19:17Speaker 3: part that we don't know yet is that this different
- 19:20Speaker 3: ownership groups handle this differently. If you're part of the Chiefs,
- 19:23Speaker 3: it's kind of like, dude, if you weren't actively in handcuffs,
- 19:26Speaker 3: then you're gonna play on Sunday. That's how their organization
- 19:29Speaker 3: sort of does things. There's some organizations that have sort
- 19:32Speaker 3: of a zero tolerance for stuff like this. And I
- 19:34Speaker 3: don't know where the Walton Pender group ends up on this,
- 19:37Speaker 3: because I don't think that they've dealt with anything like
- 19:39Speaker 3: this since taking over. Like the biggest police story that
- 19:43Speaker 3: I can think of, Oh, they had one, they had
- 19:45Speaker 3: the receiver that got shot.
- 19:47Speaker 1: Well, he was a victim. He wasn't understanding, but it
- 19:49Speaker 1: was a story.
- 19:49Speaker 3: Well that's that's what I was gonna get to, is
- 19:51Speaker 3: that Josh Reynolds is the biggest story.
- 19:53Speaker 1: But he was a victim of a crime. He didn't
- 19:55Speaker 1: perpetrate that. John Boyer thank you texto yet? Boy yet?
- 19:58Speaker 1: Was that his name? Player?
- 20:00Speaker 2: Thinking of his practice squad safety John boy At October
- 20:02Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, police in Greenwood Village, coloradover rested Boy after
- 20:06Speaker 2: he allegedly assaulted a cab driver and stole a shovel
- 20:09Speaker 2: from construction site, later attempting to hide from officers by
- 20:12Speaker 2: covering himself in mulchon bar.
- 20:15Speaker 3: Why did he take the shows?
- 20:17Speaker 1: He literally bro I later appeared on the Mass singer Jesus. Okay,
- 20:23Speaker 1: enough of that, all right, Well, at least like closure Mosure.
- 20:27Speaker 4: You showed up at this radio station singing about a
- 20:31Speaker 4: player who dressed up as a toy story cartoon character
- 20:38Speaker 4: in someone else's home and got hit over the head
- 20:42Speaker 4: by a vacuum My boy was, yes, Kelly. Of all
- 20:51Speaker 4: the stories that, to me, the Chad Kelly story is
- 20:54Speaker 4: the craziest.
- 20:55Speaker 1: Well there layers to that. Yeah, that's the craziest.
- 20:59Speaker 2: My boy Wasn't this right, mind?
- 21:01Speaker 1: But that's nuts. You're you're first of all, you're dressed
- 21:03Speaker 1: up as a cartoon character.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Oh it was Halloween.
- 21:06Speaker 1: I don't care. You're dressed up as a cartoon character.
- 21:09Speaker 4: You show up at some person's random house or random house,
- 21:13Speaker 4: You walk in, you sit up front, you're probably eating chips,
- 21:16Speaker 4: watching television. Yeah, the person who lives in the house
- 21:19Speaker 4: doesn't know what's going on. Correct, They walk out with
- 21:22Speaker 4: a vacuum and starting nailing you over the head with
- 21:25Speaker 4: the vacuum tube.
- 21:25Speaker 1: That is also correct. It's outstanding.
- 21:29Speaker 2: And think about it though, I mean it's pretty wholesome
- 21:31Speaker 2: as woody. I mean, it's not like you're dressed up
- 21:34Speaker 2: like Charles Manson or something. You're woody.
- 21:38Speaker 3: And the guy who is broken into your house and
- 21:41Speaker 3: made himself at home Court and he walked.
- 21:44Speaker 2: In the door was open. I mean, let's let's get
- 21:46Speaker 2: the parameter.
- 21:46Speaker 3: Gets hit with the vcuum too, but he goes, I
- 21:48Speaker 3: get it. My bad, bad struggle there was like, I'm
- 21:54Speaker 3: an idiot.
- 21:54Speaker 1: Sorry for you.
- 21:56Speaker 4: To think you're so impressive by telling us that there's
- 21:59Speaker 4: a Denver Bronc who ate a cell phone.
- 22:01Speaker 1: That ain't nothing, bro, Bro, that ain't nothing.
- 22:04Speaker 2: That the moral of this story.
- 22:07Speaker 1: The moral of the story is you got nothing.
- 22:09Speaker 3: I will put toy story character beat with vacuum tube
- 22:14Speaker 3: and man still shovel from construction site and hides in
- 22:17Speaker 3: the woods on the same level as dude tried to
- 22:20Speaker 3: eat the phone.
- 22:22Speaker 1: We're missing some pet though I'm looking. I'm looking at
- 22:26Speaker 1: this article.
- 22:26Speaker 5: It says after headbutting a cab driver, Boyette reportedly stole
- 22:30Speaker 5: a shovel from a nearby construction site and attempted to
- 22:33Speaker 5: cover himself in mulch after being found blue collar worker.
- 22:37Speaker 5: After being found, he demanded that officers call John Elway
- 22:41Speaker 5: before before repeatedly hitting his head against a patrol car
- 22:46Speaker 5: window while yelling and spitting.
- 22:49Speaker 2: Oh God, I don't think my boy's in his right mind.
- 22:53Speaker 2: You think, yeah, it's a yes.
- 22:55Speaker 4: Oh you think you can arrest me? Call the president,
- 22:59Speaker 4: see what he thinks. You know, We've had some crazy stories.
- 23:03Speaker 4: The craziest I can remember is Malik Beasley. Remember Malik
- 23:08Speaker 4: Beasley when you played for the Nuggets. Yes, got into
- 23:11Speaker 4: a fist fight with former Bronco who is the USC
- 23:15Speaker 4: Sue Craven's and it was caught on security camera, right, yep.
- 23:22Speaker 1: I mean that was just a fist fight. That's nothing
- 23:24Speaker 1: compared to hiding in a leaf.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Here is a big difference between all of these stories
- 23:28Speaker 3: we just mentioned. Boyett was not a big time player
- 23:32Speaker 3: for the Broncos. Chad Kelly was not a big time
- 23:34Speaker 3: player for the Broncos.
- 23:35Speaker 1: Sorry much, Yeah, but he was a quarterback that was
- 23:36Speaker 1: big time attention. Of course, you sweat.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Jonathan Cooper is somebody who just gave a massive extension
- 23:42Speaker 3: to who had an eight sax season, who's a huge integral.
- 23:46Speaker 2: Piece of.
- 23:48Speaker 3: The superpower of your team, which is getting after the
- 23:51Speaker 3: passer getting after the passer and to I don't know
- 23:54Speaker 3: if you'll have him not like that's the stuff we
- 23:57Speaker 3: don't know yet. But you already lost one piece of
- 24:00Speaker 3: that in John Franklin Myers in the offseason. This is
- 24:04Speaker 3: what your team does. This is how you win. You
- 24:06Speaker 3: win with a dominating front seven. That is, it puts
- 24:12Speaker 3: opposing offenses in a choke hold. Not having him would
- 24:16Speaker 3: be a major problem.
- 24:17Speaker 2: You know, I was already worried about. Again, it's these
- 24:21Speaker 2: different pieces that make up the whole VIC. The Broncos
- 24:24Speaker 2: defense as a whole is really good. But when you
- 24:28Speaker 2: start subtracting what were key pieces, even if it doesn't
- 24:33Speaker 2: show up on the score sheet, but JFM, he takes
- 24:36Speaker 2: two bodies on the inside and commands their attention, and
- 24:41Speaker 2: therefore other guys are allowed to do X, Y and Z.
- 24:45Speaker 2: I start to get nervous about that. A little chinks
- 24:47Speaker 2: in the armor you take away exactly. So now if
- 24:50Speaker 2: you're having to deal with this, and if this comes
- 24:52Speaker 2: to fruition, it doesn't look good. There will be some
- 24:56Speaker 2: sort I mean assuming I don't know if there'll be suspension,
- 25:00Speaker 2: no idea what's going to be. But I I just
- 25:03Speaker 2: hope everybody can work things out.
- 25:04Speaker 4: You think this is one of those moments where von
- 25:06Speaker 4: Miller calls up and says, listen, I know I've.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Had my issues in the past. I will not be
- 25:10Speaker 1: eating any cell phones. I'm still allegedly it's it's.
- 25:14Speaker 3: The it's the one to one that everybody's making. It's Oh,
- 25:17Speaker 3: Jonathan Cooper's in trouble. Then call Von now.
- 25:19Speaker 1: And it's like, Okay, I don't know.
- 25:25Speaker 3: I don't know why people just assume that the Broncos
- 25:28Speaker 3: want Von here. All indications would be that the Broncos
- 25:33Speaker 3: don't or they would have done it.
- 25:35Speaker 1: We know he wants here.
- 25:35Speaker 4: This might be the first contract in NFL history where
- 25:38Speaker 4: the player hays the team.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Kind of listen, two million?
- 25:45Speaker 2: What now?
- 25:45Speaker 1: We can't pay you two million? Boys? No? I mean
- 25:47Speaker 1: you million? Is that allowed under capitals?
- 25:50Speaker 3: If you come to an agreement that I will pay
- 25:53Speaker 3: you money to make sure we're under the cap can
- 25:55Speaker 3: you do that. I don't earn a paycheck, I give
- 25:58Speaker 3: you paycheck.
- 25:59Speaker 2: That would be awesome, I mean, because it feels like
- 26:02Speaker 2: he would do that, right. He desperately wants to be here.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know.
- 26:07Speaker 3: It's it's tough because the superpower of your team is
- 26:10Speaker 3: getting after the quarterback. And you've now lost two key pieces.
- 26:12Speaker 3: And this is a team, by the way, that has
- 26:16Speaker 3: really had no investments in the offseason outside the organization.
- 26:20Speaker 3: They've all been inside, outside of Jaalen model. Correct, So
- 26:24Speaker 3: when you lose a piece, that hurts even more because
- 26:26Speaker 3: he didn't really bring in outside help.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, we'll see.
- 26:30Speaker 2: Listen, when you're when you're in command of a multi
- 26:35Speaker 2: billion dollar organization with many, many, many, many, many many employees,
- 26:42Speaker 2: things are bound to happen because human beings are human beings.
- 26:48Speaker 1: There a lot. It wouldn't take that much. I just
- 26:53Speaker 1: took a nice little chunk and it was about to go.
- 26:55Speaker 2: Dude, I've got so you remember when I kept breaking
- 26:58Speaker 2: my phone, that old, that old iPhone twelve I had forever.
- 27:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't keep track of what iron.
- 27:05Speaker 2: And I broke the screen like three times in four months,
- 27:09Speaker 2: and I finally said screw it. So I got a
- 27:10Speaker 2: new phone. But I got the normal screen protector. I
- 27:13Speaker 2: got the big end. So if you try to chop this,
- 27:17Speaker 2: you're not gonna be able to get to the screen.
- 27:18Speaker 2: I don't.
- 27:19Speaker 1: I bet you I could. I bet you I can
- 27:21Speaker 1: buy through that. See your incisors, uh, the one on
- 27:25Speaker 1: this side that.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Was going over there, and may give me a chance,
- 27:29Speaker 2: give me a chance to eat your phone.
- 27:32Speaker 4: Let's see if I can get through your screen protector.
- 27:34Speaker 4: I'll tell you phone the phone, I'll tell you. Just
- 27:38Speaker 4: give me an opportunity in that in that in that.
- 27:40Speaker 2: Truck out there, I've got a tire iron.
- 27:43Speaker 1: I'll just start and a twinkie twinkie.
- 27:45Speaker 2: You start on the tire iron at twinkie, and if
- 27:47Speaker 2: you can get through those, I'll give.
- 27:49Speaker 1: You my phone. Isn't there some story some guy tried
- 27:51Speaker 1: to eat an airplane.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Once he did eat an airplane. The guy didn't eat
- 27:55Speaker 3: the whole airplane. Yeah he did.
- 27:58Speaker 2: What he's eating the guy the bicycles airplanes? He ate
- 28:02Speaker 2: a bunch of stuff.
- 28:04Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that crap.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Do you know how you eat an airplane?
- 28:06Speaker 1: Brett? One bite at a time.
- 28:08Speaker 2: You're damn right, one bite at a time. The dude ate, Yes,
- 28:11Speaker 2: he ate his cessna.
- 28:13Speaker 3: French entertainer Michael Latito, how is you an entertainer?
- 28:17Speaker 2: That's pretty entertainment, hey, man to take a piece of
- 28:19Speaker 2: aileron and chump it ate an entire CESSNA one.
- 28:23Speaker 3: I told you he disassembled the plane, cut the metal
- 28:26Speaker 3: in the small pieces, and consumed it. Now, we shouldn't
- 28:29Speaker 3: be swallowed the metal bits by lubricating his throat with
- 28:32Speaker 3: mineral oil.
- 28:34Speaker 4: These cooper allegations, they're serious of nature. Right, there's a
- 28:38Speaker 4: lot of things I don't understand the actual allegation. And
- 28:42Speaker 4: then there's something an enhancer in there. I've never heard
- 28:44Speaker 4: of an enhancer. I don't know what the hell that means.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Is that like an instigator?
- 28:49Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 28:51Speaker 3: I don't know either. That's why I don't. I don't
- 28:53Speaker 3: know what's all going to come out of this. As
- 28:55Speaker 3: Moser has pointed out multiple times, all of this is allegedly.
- 28:58Speaker 4: So we'll see nine know how many radio shows will
- 29:01Speaker 4: be eating iPhones this week? How do you know it's
- 29:03Speaker 4: an iPhone? I can tell you right now. The Samsung's
- 29:08Speaker 4: much easier to process and digestive, he says.
- 29:10Speaker 1: TMZ says, how can you tell me that right now?
- 29:12Speaker 2: I've been through it. TMZ says. He followed through on
- 29:17Speaker 2: his threat, admitting to body and breaking the screen of
- 29:20Speaker 2: an iPhone seven.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Oh, so it was an iPhone seventeen. Dude, I just
- 29:23Speaker 1: got the seventeen. These things are nice.
- 29:25Speaker 3: The bigger question is what kind of what kind of
- 29:27Speaker 3: hard case are we working with here?
- 29:29Speaker 2: Is it not about dude? Well, no, dude, So look
- 29:31Speaker 2: at this. This is I got the full on man.
- 29:33Speaker 1: I could don't tell me you're spending that much money
- 29:36Speaker 1: on an otter box. Just go Amazon and get yourself
- 29:37Speaker 1: five dollars.
- 29:38Speaker 3: It was like, it was like, I don't know ten bucks,
- 29:40Speaker 3: fifteen bucks yet a screen protector and a five dollars sucker.
- 29:43Speaker 3: But those of you who still don't have like protective
- 29:45Speaker 3: cases on your iPhones, you're crazy. I don't I don't
- 29:48Speaker 3: know who you are, but I don't trust you.
- 29:50Speaker 1: Hey, you got a confidence level that is beyond me.
- 29:53Speaker 1: I mean, you see it only in the movies.
- 29:54Speaker 4: Right in the movies, no one has a protective case
- 29:56Speaker 4: because they're trying to show off the phone. Yeah, but
- 29:58Speaker 4: if you're walking around without a protective case on your phone,
- 30:01Speaker 4: now you and I can't be friends.
- 30:05Speaker 2: So I tried.
- 30:06Speaker 3: I treat this thing like a rock. I'll throw it everywhere,
- 30:10Speaker 3: I'll on my lap, I get out of my seat
- 30:13Speaker 3: in my car right on the concert.
- 30:15Speaker 4: First of all, if you don't have a protective case.
- 30:16Speaker 4: Those things are really slippery. If you ever tried carrying
- 30:18Speaker 4: one with slipping everywhere, that's that's a bar soap.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Last thing, last thing.
- 30:24Speaker 2: By the way, Apparently he's scheduled to go before a
- 30:28Speaker 2: judge this morning or no, it's set there's a hearing
- 30:32Speaker 2: set for Monday, which would be today. I guess we'll
- 30:36Speaker 2: find out more. I don't know what's gonna come of this,
- 30:39Speaker 2: but the problem is you have Eventually every team owner
- 30:44Speaker 2: is going to have to deal with some brain damage
- 30:46Speaker 2: from somebody.
- 30:48Speaker 4: I could tell you even the greatest teams, even the
- 30:51Speaker 4: greatest championship teams, they have incidents that occur in the
- 30:55Speaker 4: offseason and the regular season. I mean, if you name
- 30:59Speaker 4: a champ beat Chip Broncos team, I can tell you
- 31:01Speaker 4: something that occurred during that season that was used block
- 31:05Speaker 4: material that wasn't kind happens.
- 31:08Speaker 2: I got one for you phone. I'm playing with g
- 31:12Speaker 2: Man out at his place and shout out to it
- 31:18Speaker 2: to Rich.
- 31:19Speaker 1: Shut out that short game on the west side.
- 31:22Speaker 2: His short game is good, so good. So I'm driving
- 31:27Speaker 2: and you got to go across the road. Then you
- 31:29Speaker 2: make a right hand sweeping turn on that gravel road
- 31:31Speaker 2: down toward I guess I have what hole is that
- 31:33Speaker 2: I forget from by the clubhouse. Anyway, I turn to
- 31:37Speaker 2: the right and my phone falls out of the cart, sluggers,
- 31:40Speaker 2: slides across, and falls out onto the gravel path, face down.
- 31:45Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no, I'm like, gee, doesn't boom he's
- 31:51Speaker 2: he runs Oh he runs over it, pulls up to me, goes, dude,
- 31:54Speaker 2: I could hear you?
- 31:55Speaker 1: What's that like?
- 31:57Speaker 2: Let me show you, dude, that phone on the gravel
- 32:00Speaker 2: path snoommashed, done, I mean done.
- 32:05Speaker 1: I watched our old sales guy Dan.
- 32:08Speaker 3: We're playing at broken Tea and oh he was playing
- 32:13Speaker 3: with Brandon, but he.
- 32:14Speaker 1: Was driving and we were pulling up.
- 32:16Speaker 3: Who was one of those scrambled tournaments that they have,
- 32:20Speaker 3: and uh, he went to the wrong tea box. He
- 32:22Speaker 3: went too far ahead. Hey damn, this one's back here.
- 32:24Speaker 3: But it's a really thin cart path, so I just
- 32:26Speaker 3: throw it reverse and go back. He does the same thing,
- 32:29Speaker 3: doesn't bother to look backwards as he's flooring it as
- 32:32Speaker 3: fast as he can. One of those cart path only signs. Boom.
- 32:36Speaker 1: He just oh obliterate. Here.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Here's my favorite phone moment last year got me the
- 32:43Speaker 4: new phone.
- 32:43Speaker 1: Exchanged my phone.
- 32:45Speaker 4: That got a phone, put it in my back pocket. Oh,
- 32:48Speaker 4: hopped on my vestpa.
- 32:50Speaker 3: Oh no, well that's a connor.
- 32:51Speaker 4: It was five seconds down Federal. Next thing, you know,
- 32:55Speaker 4: I feel something in my back pocket. Come out of
- 32:57Speaker 4: my back pocket, A turn comes off my vespa.
- 33:01Speaker 1: On the traffic. Gone.
- 33:03Speaker 4: Yeah, that phone lasted about twenty seven seconds.
- 33:07Speaker 1: Twenty seven seconds. It was gone.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Uh three oh three, five four, Brett to answer your question,
- 33:15Speaker 2: long way of answering your question, don't eat phones. Number one,
- 33:20Speaker 2: don't allegedly eat a phone. Number two. Nothing good happens
- 33:24Speaker 2: at two thirty eight in the morning. Tip typically number
- 33:30Speaker 2: three good things Reckon used to used to, yeah, used
- 33:34Speaker 2: to number number three. Number three. Every team in every
- 33:39Speaker 2: sport deals with something like this dude at one point
- 33:42Speaker 2: or another. And I I don't know what's gonna come
- 33:45Speaker 2: of this. It doesn't look good, doesn't sound good. But
- 33:47Speaker 2: hopefully it's not going to Sean Payton. You know all
- 33:50Speaker 2: he cares about honestly, probably maybe I'm sure he cares.
- 33:53Speaker 3: About the guy.
- 33:54Speaker 2: But you care about the future of your team, because
- 33:56Speaker 2: if you suspended for two to four, I mean, in
- 33:59Speaker 2: today's day, age in the NFL, even losing a game
- 34:03Speaker 2: that you should have would have could have won, is
- 34:05Speaker 2: the difference between making it and not making it.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Colorado Eagles in the Western Conference finals of the AHL
- 34:11Speaker 3: series tied at three to three. You can hear tonight's
- 34:13Speaker 3: Game seven on ninety two five, starting at seven. The
- 34:16Speaker 3: Eagles would advance the Calder Cup Finals against Toronto with
- 34:18Speaker 3: a win.
- 34:19Speaker 2: Tonight they won seven to three. In Game five, the
- 34:22Speaker 2: Eagles did five unanswered goals, Bro and they lost three
- 34:28Speaker 2: to two. I mean, Chicago, just oh, this is gonna
- 34:30Speaker 2: be tough man.
- 34:31Speaker 3: Game seven tonight right here in ninety two five, back
- 34:33Speaker 3: after this, all right, I'm watching this and I'm sorry
- 34:35Speaker 3: you probably had something to say.
- 34:37Speaker 1: No, I think this will be get to be on
- 34:38Speaker 1: the right subject.
- 34:38Speaker 4: Yeah, we're we're waiting for the World Cup to begin
- 34:42Speaker 4: this week Thursday, first round of games. US plays on
- 34:45Speaker 4: Friday against Paraguay. And I'm watching this ESPN show and
- 34:51Speaker 4: it's a roundtable of sorts and they're all talking about
- 34:54Speaker 4: the World Cup. And everybody on this show is of
- 34:57Speaker 4: foreign descent, right, there are no everyone's got a foreign accent.
- 35:01Speaker 1: I'll trust you on I don't know, I've seen the show.
- 35:03Speaker 1: That's a great show. And they don't know what they're
- 35:05Speaker 1: talking about.
- 35:05Speaker 4: But everybody, well, they're all soccer experts from from around
- 35:09Speaker 4: the England. From England, he's like Argentina, Yeah, Peruvian, Mexican, Spanish,
- 35:16Speaker 4: they're all different. And that's the beauty of the the
- 35:20Speaker 4: beautiful game, right. Everybody talks about it from worldwide. So
- 35:26Speaker 4: this is it just gave me an idea they can
- 35:29Speaker 4: come here and talk openly about soccer because they're the experts.
- 35:34Speaker 4: When the NBA gets going in Europe and the NBA
- 35:37Speaker 4: has a team in Italy, I want to go there
- 35:40Speaker 4: and be that guy.
- 35:42Speaker 1: Okay, I want to be that guy do it?
- 35:47Speaker 2: Are you?
- 35:47Speaker 1: Are you good with that? Sure?
- 35:49Speaker 4: I want to be the guy from America who comes
- 35:51Speaker 4: in here and is the expert.
- 35:54Speaker 1: You're not that guy, Pelp. But I want to be
- 35:57Speaker 1: that guy. Those guys, you're not that guy. Those guys.
- 36:00Speaker 1: It to be that guy.
- 36:01Speaker 3: Well, you got to speak fluent Italian speak Italian.
- 36:05Speaker 1: I gotta work on it. It's gotta be fluent.
- 36:07Speaker 2: I gotta work on it. Because NBA Europe's happening. Yeah,
- 36:11Speaker 2: I would I would love to do it. I would
- 36:14Speaker 2: love to do it. In fact, I want can Italy
- 36:18Speaker 2: get Can the NHL expanded Italy?
- 36:21Speaker 1: But the NHL hasn't expanded beyond North America.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I know because everybody has their own league.
- 36:25Speaker 2: France has its own league, Switzerland has its own league, Russia, Germany, England.
- 36:31Speaker 4: And.
- 36:33Speaker 3: We know what's have their own leagues of basketball? Canathan
- 36:37Speaker 3: Ikos has a league? Yeah, what do you mean?
- 36:39Speaker 1: Yeah, but I guess you're right.
- 36:42Speaker 2: But I mean they've got their own Sweden, Finland, Russia,
- 36:46Speaker 2: everybody's got their own league.
- 36:47Speaker 1: Yeah again, he's He's right, so do other basketball countries.
- 36:51Speaker 1: They have their own leagues.
- 36:53Speaker 3: But if they were asked to join the NBA or
- 36:55Speaker 3: some affiliation towards it, I'm sure they would.
- 36:58Speaker 2: Anyway, I give which you're saying, I also would like
- 37:02Speaker 2: to do that.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Well, here's what I want to point out, and it's
- 37:05Speaker 3: on this subject. Because the World Cup is this week.
- 37:08Speaker 3: In the US's game against Paraguays on Friday.
- 37:10Speaker 1: I can't wait.
- 37:12Speaker 3: Our boys, Laton saw I'm in an interview. I love
- 37:16Speaker 3: Satan every time.
- 37:18Speaker 2: It's a lot of I can't This is the sound
- 37:20Speaker 2: I make.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Because we love Laton on the show. It's a piece
- 37:24Speaker 1: of work.
- 37:25Speaker 3: So I've long said that I think athletes that are
- 37:28Speaker 3: arrogant and khaki it is not a good look.
- 37:32Speaker 1: It is terrible.
- 37:33Speaker 3: You can be confident, but arrogant in khaki is a
- 37:35Speaker 3: bad thing. Unless you're so cartoonishly cocky.
- 37:40Speaker 1: Then I love you. And that is Loton.
- 37:43Speaker 3: Laton is the man who once said, if I were
- 37:45Speaker 3: not married, I would spread investments all over the unit.
- 37:49Speaker 1: He say.
- 37:49Speaker 3: He said, I would make us a US soccer team
- 37:51Speaker 3: and that team would win the World Cup. Yes, he said,
- 37:54Speaker 3: I would spread my investments around the country and all
- 37:58Speaker 3: those kids would grow.
- 37:59Speaker 2: Up and be unbelievable.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Soccer makes total sense.
- 38:02Speaker 2: I guess it does.
- 38:03Speaker 1: And I gotta say I love that answer. I love
- 38:08Speaker 1: a lot of time.
- 38:08Speaker 3: We actually went to go watch his lot time play
- 38:10Speaker 3: at DSG when he was I think it was what
- 38:12Speaker 3: the Galaxy correct and not only did the Rapids win,
- 38:15Speaker 3: he scored a goal. We get the best of both
- 38:16Speaker 3: worlds both.
- 38:17Speaker 1: I almost got my head to you.
- 38:18Speaker 4: You can be lunatic, fringe cocky and that's funny, yes,
- 38:22Speaker 4: but you can't be just slightly cocked.
- 38:24Speaker 1: No, No, you gotta go full bore.
- 38:25Speaker 4: Like who's slightly is Anthony Edwards? Not cocky enough, or two,
- 38:31Speaker 4: what is.
- 38:31Speaker 1: He he's trying to boil, trying to be a lot time.
- 38:35Speaker 3: My example is Aaron Rodgers. Okay, that is unlikable, cocky again,
- 38:40Speaker 3: or well.
- 38:41Speaker 2: Because he likes himself, he's got the personality of a
- 38:44Speaker 2: broken dish rag though. I mean, it doesn't, it doesn't.
- 38:47Speaker 3: I've heard you use so many different references references about
- 38:50Speaker 3: that that start with the same letter. Sorry, I scared
- 38:53Speaker 3: you scared the hell out of me.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Yes, sorry, But that's so.
- 38:57Speaker 2: If you're that guy and you also have the personality
- 39:00Speaker 2: of his Starbucks cup, it's not gonna fly too well.
- 39:03Speaker 2: It's Laton. Is there is there any other player on
- 39:07Speaker 2: the planet where a fictional soccer TV show specifically his character,
- 39:13Speaker 2: specifically designed a character to be him.
- 39:16Speaker 1: That's a great point. Yeah, do you remember how cocky Reggie.
- 39:19Speaker 4: Jackson was back in the day. I mean that's pre Brett.
- 39:23Speaker 4: Reggie Jackson was a.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Hard Ricky Henderson, Ricky Henderson. Yeah, but Ricky is more's Laton.
- 39:29Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
- 39:30Speaker 4: Ricky, Ricky is one hundred. He was so full of himself,
- 39:34Speaker 4: he didn't know he was full of himself pretty much.
- 39:38Speaker 4: He always referred to himself in the third person as Ricky.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Yes, that's a great pull right there.
- 39:44Speaker 3: But here's what's Laton said. He said, he's played all
- 39:46Speaker 3: over the world. Remember he's Swedish guy. Uh now retired,
- 39:50Speaker 3: he's forty four years old. But the World Cup's coming up,
- 39:53Speaker 3: and he said, I played everywhere. He said this about
- 39:55Speaker 3: the US.
- 39:56Speaker 6: Most of my career. I played in Italy, I played
- 39:58Speaker 6: in France, I played in Spain, I played in England.
- 40:00Speaker 6: I came over to US. I think US had the
- 40:03Speaker 6: softest fans in my world, let's say, because I think
- 40:07Speaker 6: the setup in US is like the regular season, you
- 40:11Speaker 6: just have to reach the playoff. So when we were
- 40:14Speaker 6: losing games, they were like, don't worry, we just need
- 40:17Speaker 6: to reach the playoffs. What do you mean don't worry?
- 40:20Speaker 6: In my world, I am worried because we just lost. No,
- 40:23Speaker 6: but we just need to reach the first seven. But
- 40:26Speaker 6: that's different approach mentally, because I come, I'm slat on.
- 40:32Speaker 2: I need to perform.
- 40:33Speaker 6: If I lose, I feel I lose, not the team
- 40:37Speaker 6: because I failed. And then he's saying to me, don't worry,
- 40:40Speaker 6: we just need to reach the playoff. And then I'm
- 40:42Speaker 6: like but then come back when the playoff starts. Don't
- 40:45Speaker 6: train with me now because I want to do good
- 40:47Speaker 6: in regular season. Because if we think about my contract,
- 40:51Speaker 6: I get paid now, I don't get paid when the
- 40:53Speaker 6: playoff starts.
- 40:54Speaker 1: So here's what I don't get. First of all, I
- 40:55Speaker 1: love it, he says. What I come here, I win.
- 41:01Speaker 1: He said US has the softest fans.
- 41:02Speaker 3: It sounds like he's just talking about the Galaxy and
- 41:04Speaker 3: their approach towards Wells.
- 41:07Speaker 2: Perhaps, yeah, maybe I.
- 41:08Speaker 4: Think there's also a too pronged approach there. For his
- 41:11Speaker 4: lot of time, I think he's being critical of the
- 41:13Speaker 4: fact that in the US we value the postseason so
- 41:16Speaker 4: much more than the regular season. In other leagues, true,
- 41:20Speaker 4: winning the regular season is winning the championship in the
- 41:23Speaker 4: premier league. What just happened Arsenal One, they're the champions.
- 41:27Speaker 1: There is no postseason.
- 41:29Speaker 4: Now, there's other things, the Champions League and all that stuff,
- 41:32Speaker 4: but that's outside of the sphere of your league. So
- 41:36Speaker 4: those games matter during the regular season. In the US,
- 41:40Speaker 4: everything we do is catered to the postseason. And it
- 41:44Speaker 4: really he's not wrong. You know, this is the issue
- 41:47Speaker 4: with college football. Now, this is the issue when you
- 41:50Speaker 4: expand a playoff. What does it do to your regular season?
- 41:54Speaker 4: Does it saturate? What does it do to the regular season?
- 41:58Speaker 4: Does it make those games less meaningful? And I think
- 42:01Speaker 4: that's where he's going in MLS play get in and
- 42:05Speaker 4: it's a success, right.
- 42:08Speaker 2: Well, I mean for some hockey teams get into the postseason,
- 42:11Speaker 2: it's a success, right. I mean, the Ducks were the
- 42:14Speaker 2: Ducks despite depends who you are when in the first
- 42:20Speaker 2: round the Ducks, I mean they're a year ahead of schedule.
- 42:23Speaker 4: You know what. That's a great question you asked, how
- 42:26Speaker 4: would you rate the Avalanche hockey season?
- 42:28Speaker 1: Was it a success? No, of course not. Now some
- 42:32Speaker 1: some franchises may look at it and say, yeah, President's Trophy.
- 42:36Speaker 1: But we have different expectations.
- 42:37Speaker 2: Western Conference final final, one of the final four teams.
- 42:40Speaker 4: We we have different expectations. It's it's just a much
- 42:45Speaker 4: different set of circumstances.
- 42:47Speaker 2: Here, dude, this guy, I don't know that it's I
- 42:51Speaker 2: don't know that anybody's had a career leg can I
- 42:54Speaker 2: here's who he's played for.
- 42:55Speaker 1: You ready.
- 42:55Speaker 2: Vic started out in Sweden Fine Almo, then he went
- 42:59Speaker 2: to Ajax Dutch team, then Uventus, then inter Milan, then Barcelona,
- 43:06Speaker 2: then AC Milan, then Paris, sing Germaine, then.
- 43:09Speaker 1: Man, you that's a mercenary.
- 43:12Speaker 2: But what I'm saying is these are the biggest. It'd
- 43:13Speaker 2: be like playing for the Cowboy, Yes, and you know,
- 43:17Speaker 2: for I mean, he hit like every gigantic team on
- 43:22Speaker 2: the planet in every league, this guy. And then he
- 43:25Speaker 2: comes to LA of course and plays Major League Soccer
- 43:29Speaker 2: thirty goals in twenty nine games in twenty nineteen, and
- 43:32Speaker 2: then went back to AC Milan.
- 43:33Speaker 1: For god, you know what's happening. This guy is unbelievable,
- 43:36Speaker 1: as your resident.
- 43:37Speaker 4: And I guess, I guess i'd be the soccer expert
- 43:40Speaker 4: on this show. You know what's happening next year with
- 43:44Speaker 4: MLS right expanding?
- 43:45Speaker 1: Right?
- 43:46Speaker 4: No what, They're moving to the European all the time,
- 43:50Speaker 4: winter time schedule. So all teams now are going to
- 43:55Speaker 4: play opposite of what they play now. I mean, there's
- 43:59Speaker 4: not going to be Midsummer games anymore, Brett. There's gonna
- 44:01Speaker 4: be games in February, March, November. It's I mean, imagine
- 44:07Speaker 4: now you have a team in Toronto, New York, Minnesota,
- 44:12Speaker 4: and you're playing soccer in an outdoor stadium.
- 44:15Speaker 1: Perhaps in February that's tough. Tough. I mean, I wonder,
- 44:20Speaker 1: I wonder what it's gonna do to some of these French.
- 44:22Speaker 2: What did they do in Sweden?
- 44:25Speaker 1: They play? Can I get tough it out? Just before
- 44:28Speaker 1: we get the break?
- 44:29Speaker 3: Can I give you guys some Ricky Henderson quotes?
- 44:31Speaker 1: Please please? Yeah?
- 44:34Speaker 3: Ricky Henderson on a highly circulated voicemail anecdote quote, This
- 44:40Speaker 3: is Ricky calling on behalf of Ricky. Ricky wants to
- 44:42Speaker 3: play baseball. Ricky don't like it when Ricky can't find
- 44:47Speaker 3: Ricky's limo. Ricky got a big ranch, Ricky got a
- 44:51Speaker 3: big ball, Ricky got horses, Ricky got chickens and everything,
- 44:55Speaker 3: and Ricky got a twenty gallon hat.
- 45:00Speaker 1: Awesome. This guy's he crad up.
- 45:04Speaker 2: I saw Ricky Henderson the day that he was set
- 45:07Speaker 2: to break the stolen base record.
- 45:10Speaker 4: Something else happened monumental that day, and it took all
- 45:13Speaker 4: the attention away from Ricky Henderson.
- 45:14Speaker 1: Do you remember what it was? No?
- 45:17Speaker 2: I saw him get thrown out at second.
- 45:18Speaker 1: It sucked the day he broke the record, another major
- 45:23Speaker 1: record in Major League Baseball.
- 45:25Speaker 2: This is nineteen eighty three, though, what this is eighty
- 45:29Speaker 2: three bro single season this is single season.
- 45:33Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the overall.
- 45:35Speaker 2: No, this is single season, stolen bases. I'm there as
- 45:39Speaker 2: a fifteen year old in the crappy Oakland Coliseum and
- 45:43Speaker 2: yes it was a dump back then, and he gets
- 45:46Speaker 2: thrown out at second. You talk about disappointment.
- 45:50Speaker 1: Man, that sucked.
- 45:51Speaker 4: Joe Klatt used to give some stories about Ricky because
- 45:54Speaker 4: they played in a minor league sint Ricky and he
- 45:56Speaker 4: was making it back and he played with.
- 45:57Speaker 1: Joel funny stuff and he's authentic, that's who he is.
- 46:03Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Ricky like playing for Oakland. They have a
- 46:05Speaker 3: very color for uniform. I mean, Ricky Anderson was just that,
- 46:09Speaker 3: he was the man.
- 46:09Speaker 2: He's the one who framed the check, the million dollar check.
- 46:13Speaker 2: He framed it and put it on his wall, like Ricky,
