• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh what is going on? I hope your early Tuesday
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: morning is going swimmingly. We'll get to the militia here momentarily.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: First let me uh gabby yah by yaba at you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: for a little bit. So, man, there was a popular
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: opinion shared just a couple of days ago, and it
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: has aged very very poorly, very poorly. So if you
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: look at the NBA Finals heading into Game four, this
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: is on Friday night, heading in, the Pacers led two
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to one, and there was a popular opinion shared going
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: into that night that hey, if the Pacers win this game,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win a title. You're not gonna see OKAC
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: win three straight game. No, no, you're not gonna have Now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It's not just Stevid A. Smith, but he was one
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: of them. He was one of them saying this. This
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was before Game four on Friday night. It's what Stephen
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: A had to say on ESPN.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: The Oklahoma City Thunder on the bridge of getting of
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: losing the finals. If the Indiana Pacers win the night,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: they are winning the championship.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: It's just that simple, Okay. If the Pacers won Game four,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: they'd have a three to one lead, championship bound right now,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you could look at this technically say didn't technically say Okay, see,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: no way they win three straight. That's basically what he's saying.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: He says it flat out right here on first take.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I think if the Indiana Pacers went tonight, there's no
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: way on earth that we're going to look at the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder and think that they can beat this
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: team three straight.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: No way on earth that OKC can beat the Pacers
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: in three straight. This is gonna throw Steven A under
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: the bus. I think Steve Knight does a great job,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: but he was one of many saying these things. I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: want to make it out like he was the only one.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: He was one of many saying these things. And wow,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: look at what's happened. After two games. The Oklahoma City
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Thunder are one win away from winning three straight games. Like,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: how funny is that?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I realize, I realize there is a difference there is
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: if you're down two games to one and you win
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: three straight games, that's one thing compared to if you're
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: down three games to one and you win three straight games.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Right Like, you're facing elimination every game once you're down
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: three to one, So it does differ. I don't want
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to make it sound like there's no difference whatsoever. There
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is a difference, but I mean, come on, it is
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: pretty freaking funny, is it not for everyone who's like,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: no way, okay, see wins three three straight games, get
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: out of here, no chance. And now they might win
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: three straight games. That's pretty fun. If they do that,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: two of those wins would be on the road. You
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: could argue this. You could argue this, being down two
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to one and winning two of the next three on
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the road is pretty impressive, pretty comparable to being down
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: three to one and winning two of the next three
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at home. Right, There is an argument there. And okay, see,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: if they do win three straight, they'll have one two
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of three on the road. So it's just funny, man,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for anyone's like, oh, I mean, it's what was it like,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: borderline impossible that okay, see wins three straight.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I think if the Indiana Pacers win tonight, there's no
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: way on Earth that we're going to look at the
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma City Thunder and think that they can beat this
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: team three straight.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: No way on Earth, no way. And they're on the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: verge of winning three straight. I just think that's funny.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: That's funny right there. It is funny. And I'll tell
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you what, man, What else is funny to me is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: OKC was such a monstrous favorite to win the finals.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Before they started, they were I think it was at
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the peak. I want to say around minus seven to
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: twenty five. I want to say it was around there,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: meaning you would have to risk seven hundred and twenty
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: five dollars just to win one hundred dollars. That's how
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: big of a favorite OKC was. And you look at
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: how this series is played out and the last two
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: games for the Pacers. I look at it and I'm like, man,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the amount of missed opportunities that this team has had.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Go back to Game four on Friday Night. They've got
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: a ten point lead in the fourth quarter. They're the
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: team with all the momentum, the crowd is behind him.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: OKC can't hit it three to save their lives. That game,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: they ended up three for sixteen. They made three three pointers.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That's like some nineteen eighties type stuff. It's twenty twenty five.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: They made three three pointers. That's it, Okay, see can't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: buy a three crowds into it. The Pacers are the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: team in the first three games that had outscored OKC
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: by twenty seven points in the fourth quarter. They're plus
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: twenty seven in the fourth quarter. Indiana is the team
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that's been freaking money. They're winning these crazy games. They're
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: clutch in the fourth quarter, huge comebacks against the Bucks,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: against the Knicks, against the Cavs, crazy stuff. And now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: they've got a ten point lead and they can't close.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: The deal just slipped away. And you had at the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: end of that game Ben Matherin. My goodness, So game
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: three was the Ben Matheren game quote unquote, bench player
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: scored twenty seven points, went crazy. I would argue Game
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: four was also the Ben Matherin game that nearly is good.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Didn't reach double digit points and at the end just
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: unfreaking raveled. He missed three free throws and then he
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: committed two fouls before the ball was inbounded, which led
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to two free points for ok See that's five points, right,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: there's a five point swing with Matherin missing those free
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: throws and then committing silly files before the ball was inbounded.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Who knows what happens Vizza's free throws and doesn't commit
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: those files. It's a lot closer and Indiana might have
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: won that game if you were betting the game. That
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: is a freaking brutal beat. Oh my gosh. I did
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: not full disclosure, have either team on the spread in
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: game four, But my gosh, if you were on the
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Pacers plus six and a half and they lose by
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: seven and Matherren misses three free throws and commits two
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: fouls before the ball is inbounded, leading to two points
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: for okay, see, Oh, that's as ugly as it gets.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: That's just that's something you can't handicap for. You can't
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: account for something like that happening before the game. You're
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: breaking it down, You're like, okay, okay, see Indiana, bah
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: bah bah uh. You know, I think it's gonna come down.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be close. And then Matherin's just gonna unravel
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: three missed free throw, it's gonna commit a couple of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: stupid files before the ball's inbounded, cost them five points.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, okay, see covers spread like some
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of this stuff is just ridiculous. It really is. And
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: then you get to the missed opportunity. On Monday night,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the latest game, the Pacers are down by eighteen points.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: They cut the deficit to two points. Being the studs
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: that in the fourth quarter there is coming back. I
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: call him the zombies of the sports world. They just
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: keep coming at you. You think they're dead, They're not dead.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: They're still very much alive. They cut it to a
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: two point deficit, and then they allow an eighteen to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: four run by OKC. And where I think the missed
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: opportunity occurred. Rick Carlile kept playing Tyrese Halliburton. He was
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: affected by this calf injury. He tweaked his calf in
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the game. He didn't hit a shot from the floor
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: all night. He was zero for six from the field,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: h four from three point range. He didn't hit a shot.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: He scored four points, all from the free throw line.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And he's still played minutes, healthy minutes in the fourth quarter.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You gotta play TJ McConnell in that instance, have to.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: And if you look back at how awful Tyrese Haliburton's
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Game five performance was, he's the first player in NBA
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Finals history to record the following zero field goals, zero steals,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: zero blocks, three plus turnovers, three plus fouls, and thirty
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: plus minutes. He's the first player in NBA Finals history
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to have a stat line that bad. And what makes
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: it even worse is that not only did Carlisle stick
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: with Halliburton, who just didn't have it tonight, he was
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: clearly affected by this calf injury. He's stuck with Halliburton
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and didn't go with DJ McConnell, who had eighteen points
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: in twenty two minutes. And he's forcing Okay's defense to
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: collapse around him. He's breaking them down off the dribble,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: he's scoring, he's dishing. It's leading to open shots, good looks,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: and he's stuck with a guy who didn't hit a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: shot from the field. That is a missed opportunity right there.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: And I know you could sit here and be like, hey,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: that's a second guess. Well, yeah, it's a second guess.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I say this. I think this is the rule of
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: second guessing. You can agree or disagree, but I think
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: this makes a lot of sense to me. The rule
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: of second guessing is you need to be first guessing,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: meaning you need to question what a coach is doing
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: before you have access to the results. Okay, so in
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: that fourth quarter, when Halliburton is out there and TJ.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: McConnell is not out there? Are you then saying why
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is McConnell not out there? Why is there going with Halliburton?
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You need to be saying that, in my opinion, to
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: then be second guessing, because it's easy after the fact,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: once you know Halliburton has missed all of his shots,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, you should have played McConnell. I
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: think you should be saying that in thinking that while
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter is playing out. You understand what I'm saying.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I think you need to be first guessing to then
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: be able to be second guessing. Otherwise, like everyone's an
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: expert head coach. You know, every armchair head coach is,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: you know, the best head coach walking the earth. They
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: have access to the results and then can say what
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you should have done. But I think it was so
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: in your face. You're obviously watching the game, like where
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: is McConnell, Why is Halliburton still out there? You're they're
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: talking about it, and it was a missed opportunity. I
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: know it's the hard decision. I know it is. Halliburton
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is your guy. He's made the show go. He's hit
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: some monstrous shots in these playoffs, He's led these huge
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: comebacks and all of that sort of thing. But he
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: just didn't have it on Monday night. And there's nothing
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: wrong with going with the player. And TJ McConnell, who
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: did have it eighteen points in twenty two minutes. Haliburton
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: gave you four points in thirty plus minutes. It's night
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and day. It's not even close staring at you in
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: the face. And although that's the tough decision, that was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the appropriate decision. And Carlisle missed it. He just flat
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: out missed it. And I've said it once, I'll say
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: it before it bears repeating. The popular phrase is you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: dance with who brung you, and Haliburton has certainly brought
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: the Pacers to this point. But I would argue you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: shouldn't dance with someone who's too injured to dance. That's
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: where it changes the formula here. If Haliburton is full go,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: he's not hampered by this calf injury. He's as close
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to one hundred percent as you can get at this
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: stage of the season. He's clearly not affected by any
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: injury at all. He's just having a rough night through
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: three quarters. I have no issue with you sticking with
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that guy. He did bring you there? Dance with who
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: brung you? Fine, he's just been cold for three quarters. Okay,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: but he's not affected by this half injury, that's one thing.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But he was affected by a calf injury. That changes
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the math. So all of a sudden, this hey, dance
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: with who brung You?
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: No?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: No, no, Like Haliburton can't get out there and even
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: do a two step on the dance floor, dance with
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: somebody else. It's time to dance with somebody else at
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: that point, and Carlisle just refused to do it. Now,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I think that's a absolute missed opportunity for the Pacers. Also,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the turnovers twenty three turnovers leading to thirty two OKAC points,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: way way way too many turnovers, and Haliburton was one
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of the guys guilty of that. You're right like that
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: key run eighteen to four run in the fourth quarter
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: for OKC OKASEE went from a two point lead with
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: eight thirty remaining to a sixteen point lead with five
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: minutes remaining. During that stretch, the Pacers had four consecutive turnovers.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Halliburton had two of them them, Hard had the other two.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: What if that's TJ McConnell. What if McConnell isn't turning
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: it over the two times that Halliburton did. What if
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: beyond not turning it over, what if those are buckets
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: for the Pacers All of a sudden, you're cooking with
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: grease and you've got a chance to win a game
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: on the road, and if you do, you're one win
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: away from a title. There's an argument, not only should
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: you have played McConnell over Halliburton. If Halliburton's affected with
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: this calf injury, you gotta get him ready for Game six.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: It's not just about Game five, it's about Game six
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and the rest of the series. So I think it's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a double miss by Rick Carlyle. It's just a missed opportunity.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: You can't have that. Can't have that when you're an
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: enormous underdog heading into the finals. But it's been missed
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: opportunities the last two games for the Pacers, playing Halliburton
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: too much when he's affected by the calf injury, the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Ben Madden, they're in catastrophe at the end of Game four,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: and all of the turnovers in both games just way,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: way too sloppy. I give okay, see a ton of credit.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: They challenge every shot like you watch these games the Pacers.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: They'll swing the ball and it looks like Nemhard might
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: have a three, and then Dort closes out on him,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and Nemhard's like, all right, I'll drive and kick and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: he kicks to Sga and it leads to a fast break.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Like that's okase really forcing your hand. They do a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: magnificent job of that. But at the same time, the
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Pacers way way, way too sloppy. They said an NBA
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Finals record the most turnovers in the half in Game one.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: It's a game they still came back to win. They've
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: been way too careless with the ball. You can't win
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: games on the road when you're just turning it over
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: at that rate. Like, good luck winning for a second time. Okay,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: they won Game one, dramatic comeback. Good luck winning the
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: second game on the road when you turn over twenty
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: three times. They it just wasn't even close as it
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: turned out. All right, feel free to check in. We'll
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: get to the militia here momentarily. I want to hear
• 16:09

  Speaker 5: to you and you were explaining the whole iso ball concept.
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: And I think the Celtics would beat the pay Series
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: even if they played him right now or Oklahoma if
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: Van Gundy was still there and Missoula had had adjusted.
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: He was just so stubborn and Drew Holiday didn't show
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: it at all.
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: I gotta say a couple of things about God Smack
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: too and Tool on.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: There you go. First off, blind Scott, I appreciate the praise.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: That's very nice of you. I appreciate that, man, But
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: what's on your Godsmack and Tool list? There? I'm curious
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about this.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: We'll go smirks from around here. But nope. So the
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Zoomer generation calls Divorced Dad Rock. So the thing about
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: Tool is like they would never get the credit they
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: deserve because the.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Lead because they Sugar Scott, because they shouldn't.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: That's suck, you know, they suck because the lead singer
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: to the jerks, the music just isn't that good, you know
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: what I mean?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Totally yeah, what what do he pass his way?
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: I like, Lord, here, On and Bonie Bear, and I
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: also like Olivia Rodrigo. I like Phoebe Bridgers. I like
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: some of the new music. Some I like electronic dance music.
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: I like, you know, I like stuff you would listen
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: to in the middle of the night, like when you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: Like do you like Duala Blak and Scott?
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: I think she like Gosh. I like her, Yeah, I
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: mean I'm into her. Yeah. Actually I'm a big fan.
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: I like it, you know, I like it how she
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: worked out. Yeah, she worked out a lot of the gym,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: so I followed that right.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You know, she's a very tall woman. She's an incredibly
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: tall woman as it turned out. Last guy. Yeah, I
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: like tall.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: I like tall women that are like six foot four
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: one ninety like triple d ize thirty eight eight inch waits.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: You know, it's very descriptive right here, blind Scott, Yeah
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: it was. You rattled that off, you know, like, uh,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: legitimately on the checklist there, I miss I.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Missed been a little bit, but I think you're I
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: think you like I hear Ben so much. It's great
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: to have a break, But I would you know this
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: rafeel devast thing.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: It's so big.
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: It's such big news in Boston, like it's it's taken
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: on the whole scene. Like I hadn't talked to my
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: father in six years, and he called the show after
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: this man and me and him had it out on
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: the radio and like the Toucher and Hardy show, and
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: that was something that was something else, So like that
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: might happen to get today. So looking forward to that,
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: my mom's like, I just hope that he doesn't blame
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: me because you know whatever, Like I don't have to
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: go with the family drama or whatever. But you know me,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: I was with my parents like five years ago and
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: they didn't mind. But they're like retired, but I stay
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: up on nine dude sports radio calls and yell and
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: scream and stuff, and me and my dad got into
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: like a fight. So I hadn't talked to him since.
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: So I just prefer to live on my own now.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: You know, well, I'm court blind, Scott. I'll tell you
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: a Toucher. He was a nice dude. Like I used
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to write for this website and I did an interview
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: with Toucher. He was cool with me, and he's a
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: he's a punk rock guy. He's got punk rock roots
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: over there.
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: Touch So yeah, I know all about that. Yeah, he
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: was a DJ at Atlanta at on ninety nine next
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: in Alantic, So he's gonna hear you talk. If you
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: talk towards the end of hour four, he's going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: be listening. I didn't realize you knew him, Brian. I
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: know him so well, like me and him are like
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: unbelievably close. I've known him for a long time. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: didn't know you knew him. I would. I would have
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: mentioned it, you know what I mean. He's really respectful
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: for people in radio. He would have you on now,
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: like if you email him, you know what I mean.
• 21:13
  Speaker 5: He's going on vacation for the rest of week. I
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: didn't know that. I would have emailed him. I'm just
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: as close to him as I am with Ben, even close,
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: even closer.
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Blind Scott, you know, would be my agent over
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: give me some reps, you know, give me on there
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: at the hub. What's going on?
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: I email? I emailed Fred like fifty times a day
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: for the past ten years. Like he almost would get
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: a restraining order if you didn't.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you Blind Scott before you go. Since you
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: like my descriptions, I appreciate that I'm going to give
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you a description of the band Tool, and you tell
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: me if this is on point. Oh god, okay, all
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: right now Coop is waiting on the edge of his
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: seat with anticipation. Here here's the description of Tool. Tool
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: is a band where they'll play something cool to have,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like a cool guitar, par our, cool riff, and just
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: when they get going, they're like, oh, let's do something
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: boring for the next three minutes, and then we'll go
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: back to the cool stuff we were doing.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: All right, cooler, Yeah, there there jerk. So I'm forty two,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: so that's the music I grew up. So people we
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: said you're a tool if you listen to Tool. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: I was in high schooled to rough those people up
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: in the locker room.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: At gym, you know there you go, you shove them
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: into a locker and say, listen to it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't cool to listen to Tool when I
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: was in high school, trust me, Like, you were not cool.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: You weren't. You weren't like hanging with nobody like that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: You weren't. You were hanging by yourself a combat blutan,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: you know.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Uh huh, yeah, I hear you. All right, Well, Hey,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: we appreciate you checking in Blind Scott. Good stuff. Man,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: we're talking music, sports, you know, uh, local radio hosts.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: We covered a lot of ground. We clearly set it
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: in stone. That tool is terrible, right man. This is
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: a segment that will probably not be appearing on the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: podcast due to Coop you know, posting thing that stuff
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: right there. Stuff. Yeah right, he's like delete cutting room
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: floor right there. Now, this is something that has definitely
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: caught my attention. Is Rory McElroy. Okay, so our guy, Rory,
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: he is taking a weenie route, is what I would say.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: He is dodging the media, which I think is just weak.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: So this goes back to what we just saw at
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the US Open, and also if you go backwards to
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: last month's PGA Championship. So here's the backstory. And this
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: isn't just a Rory McElroy thing. Maybe you don't care
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: about Rory, maybe you don't care about golf. That's fine,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: But this to me is way bigger than that. This
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: is athletes speaking to the media, right, Like, do you
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: think that they should speak to the media. Now, the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: PGA Tour does not require their golfers to speak to
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: the media, so you might remember this. It was a
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: couple of months ago where what was it, Colin Morikawa.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: He came out and said, I don't think I need
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: to speak to you guys, and at that point Rory
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: McElroy backed him up and said he's right. And so Rory,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: he's dodged the media. He dodged the media for six
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: straight rounds in majors. He didn't speak to the media
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: all throughout the PGA Championships. That was four straight days
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: no talking to the media, and he skipped out on
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the media on the first two days of the US
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Open this past weekend, right, So he didn't talk to
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: him Thursday, didn't talk to him Friday. He graced the
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: media with his presence and his words as only Lord
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: Rory McElroy can do. So he was asked about this
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: on Saturday one of the media members. He said, yeah,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you haven't met with the media after the last six
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: major rounds. Here, is it because you're frustrated on the
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: golf course, right, Like Rory has not been playing well,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: and so the media guy was like, is it because
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: of the way you're playing. Here's what Rory said.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: No, not really, it's more of frustration with you guys.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Okay, So he's ticked off at the media, frustrated with
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the media. So either the same or a different media member,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not quite sure. The follow up question was in
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: what way, in what way are you ticked off at us?
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Here's what Rory said.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I'm just.
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I have been totally
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: available for the last few years, and I'm not saying
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: maybe not you guys, but maybe more just the.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: The whole, the whole thing. Hmm. Okay, so the whole thing,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: the whole you know, answering questions, talking, promoting the game
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: of golf. You know, Jesus over it. It's basically what
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: he just said. That's kind of over it. Maybe it's
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: not you. Maybe another think that I don't hate you directly,
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: maybe just this whole thing. Maybe that's okay. So there's
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: another question. Is this about the driver controversy? So the
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: driver controversy very shortly, this goes back to the PGA
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Championship last month. He had a club that failed testing
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and was removed from his bag. So maybe he didn't
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: like the coverage of that. He didn't like what was
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: said or written about that. So that's what is it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Something about the driver controversy. Here's what Rory said, Yeah, part.
• 26:46
  Speaker 6: Of Yeah, I mean that was that was a part
• 26:48
  Speaker 6: of it. Yeah, that was that was that was a
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: part of it. But it's not as if Flake at Augusta,
• 26:56
  Speaker 6: I skipt you guys on Thursday. So yeah, again, it's
• 27:02
  Speaker 6: not as if it's not out of the ordinary. I've
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: done it before.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, now this is the part let's take
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a time out for a second. This is exactly what
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: a bad partner would say, right. He said it a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: couple of times. He's like, I've been around pretty much
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: all the time the last two years, all the time,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: whenever you want to talk, I talk to you guys.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: And then he just said it right there, He's like,
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: I didn't skip out on Thursday at Augusta. It's like
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: if your partner says to you, my girlfriend says to me, like, hey,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: you haven't taken the trash out for six straight weeks.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: What's up with that? A bad partner would say, well,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: what about seven weeks ago? Huh who took the trash out?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Then that's right, it was me. I was taking the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: trash out seven weeks ago. It's like we're talking about
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: the last six weeks though, where you didn't do anything.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about here. But Rory is like, well,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: what about Augusta on Thursday? Yeah, I know I didn't
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: talk to you guys all throughout the PGA Championship, didn't
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: talk to you one time. I know I skipped out
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: on you the first two days here at the US Open.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: But I'm talking to you now, am I not like that?
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: That's what a bad partner in a relationship says. They
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: don't admit anything they've done wrong, and they just shift
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the focus to an area that they did do well
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: in and don't address their faults at all. That's what
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: a bad partner says. And that's exactly what Rory McElroy
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: just said. Now, there was another follow up question. The
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: reporter's like, hey, after really, and this is true, Rory
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: McElroy has really been front and center promoting the PGA Tour,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: standing up for the PGA Tour, largely done a great job.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: And the reporter was just like, are you kind of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: just tired of that? Are you tired of doing that?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: And that's why you want to dodge these questions? Do
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: you feel like you've earned the right to dodge these questions.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Here's what Rory said. I feel like I've earned the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: right to do whatever I want to do. There it
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: is there. That's the money quote right there, that explains
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: everything right there. Yes, I feel like I can do
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: whatever that he's going Denzel in training day, I'm the
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: man of business piece is basically what Rory is saying.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: And this is where it becomes weak and lame, like
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: whatever the reasons are and whatever the backstory is why
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: Rory is bent or doesn't want to deal with the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: media or the end result is weak. Dodging questions is weak.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: The truth is like, meeting with the media and answering
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: questions is good for the sport. It promotes the game,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: It helps build drama for the next event or the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: current event. Why do you think the media talks to players?
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Why do you think players interviews and sound bites are
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: aired all the freaking time on radio on TV because
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: athletes from time to time say some interesting things and
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: it helps spruce up that current event or the next event.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: So dodging those sessions might be great for Rory, but
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: it isn't great for the sport. That's the truth, And
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you can try to argue against that and poke holes
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: in it and say, oh, but Brian, does it really
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: build drama? Is it really necessary? Blah blah blah. It's like, yeah,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: athletes at times say some colorful things. They might call
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: out an opponent. They might say something like Rory has
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: said some very candid things about live golf, and you're like,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: oh man, I can't wait to see what happens in
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: this next major based on what Rory just said. It
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: is back and forth with Bryson Shambo. Some of that
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: has really spruced up some of these matchups like oh man,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be in the final pair together, like wow,
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: and here's the whole backstory. It helps promote the game
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and it helps build drama. Some of my favorite drama
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: building moments like this is before the Super Bowl. I'll
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: never forget Shannon Sharp and Rab Buchanon. So Shannon Sharp
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: then at the Broncos, Ray Bucnon then of the Falcons'
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: is a portion of some of their back and forth
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: before the game. Here's Shannon Sharp.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I've never called anybody ugly. Do I think people ugly?
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: I think he lugged me, but I never fit that
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: he just did He started it.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: That's gold right there by the way, late nineties audio
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: left a lot to be desired. Right in the background,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: it sounds like there's a monsoon in the background. It's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: just horrid nineties audio, but still great. Nevertheless, this is
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Ray Buchanon and some of the critical things he said
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: about Shannon Sharp again top notch stuff.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: He might have a body though, everybody laying hisybody to
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: be like ooh Shannon, But I'm telling you what, man,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: you got a grill like that?
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Man, I mean total reconstruction. Okay, now this is the
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: best one. This is Shannon Sharp again, colorful sound bites.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: You're telling me you weren't more interested to watch Super
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl thirty three with the war of words between these guys.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Come on, this is why they do it. This is
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: why you interview athletes. This is Shannon Sharp again. To
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: drop the mike moment talking about Raebu Cannon.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna get into a p in content with
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: you lose every time, but I will say this all
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Suddenly he get an opportunity tobacco.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: What he's saying. If he my friend? No?
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: Did I ever view him as a friend?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: No?
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Did I have view him other than acquaintance. No, do
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I like him?
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: No?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: If I see him in a snowstorm, his trucket broke down,
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: mine is going perfectly.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Would I pick him up? No?
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Rather than that.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: Other than that, I could care left about raeby Cannon.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: That's tremendous and he said it within there. It's like
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: he's got to check, has to back up his words
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. You're telling me you've never heard a SoundBite
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: from an athlete and been more interested to watch the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: next event. That's a flat out lie if that's what
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: you say, Like, that's why these leagues and the PGA
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: two are, That's why they want their athletes to meet
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: with the media and say things because it helps promote
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: the sport and build drama for the next event or
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: the current event. That's something Rory just doesn't want to do.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: And listen, I might feel the same way, but you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: can't lose sight of the big picture. I can understand
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: an athlete having some ill will toward the media. Maybe
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: someone wrote something crazy or said something crazy, and you
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: just don't want to do it. Rory had he filed
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: for divorce, and then he was able to reconcile with
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: his wife, Erica, and there are a lot of people
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: that said a lot of things and wrote a lot
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: of things that Rory might not have liked. I might
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: feel the same exact way if I was in the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: same position, But I would look at it and say,
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: even though this is good for me, I don't want
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: to deal with the media. It's bigger than that. It's
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: bigger than just some personal beef or bad blood. It's
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: about bringing more attention to the sport of golf. That's
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: the why why you even do these interviews in the
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: first place. And Rory's forgotten that. He's completely forgotten that,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: and that's too bad. And I'll be honest with you.
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: If they had some sort of like post radio show
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: press conference, I wouldn't want to do it. I'd probably
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: want to skip it. But if it helped bring in
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: more listeners and it helped build the ratings, it'd be
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: a necessary evil. I would do it, even though I
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: didn't want to. If after the show it was just
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: like a postgame press conference, right like Rory finishes around
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: at the US Open and he's meeting with the media,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: they might be like, hey man, why were you terrible
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: on the eleventh or whatever? If someone was like, you know,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: it's a press conference, and they're like, all right, Brian
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: filling in for big Ben Maller, here your second segment,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Like wow, what went wrong? And I have to answer
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: those questions like, well, you know, honestly, I thought it
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: was a good topic. Maybe I had a weird example
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: or as a little wordy getting to the point, but
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm just talking it up to a learning experience, right.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: If I had to do that after every show, yeah,
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I'd probably dread it. But again, if it helped the
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: overall network, it helped the ratings, it built excitement from
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: time to time for the next show, you gotta do it.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: It's bigger than just you. It's about who you're working for.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: And Rory McElroy is working for the PGA Tour and
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: has just forgotten that the PGA Tour matters here in
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: this equation. He's forgotten that it's all about him. It's me, me, me,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: me me. That's what Rory McElroy is doing. And it's weak,
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: it's lame, not a fan of it, and his reasons
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: are even worse than that. This is all you need
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: to know. I feel like I've earned the right to
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: do whatever I want to do. Yeah, yeah, that's uh,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: that's telling right there, all right. Coming up next, we
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: bust out the Power ratings and I'll tell you what
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: these rankings they produced A curveball I didn't see coming
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: from one Justin Cooper has nothing to do with sports,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: but I think you'll find it entertaining. We'll get to that.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Coming up. It is the Big Ben Malor Show. I'm
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Brian no filling in for Big Ben here on Fox
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Sports Radio.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Maler
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: Show weekdays at two am Eastern eleven pm Pacific.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It is Fox Sports Radio. I'm Brian knowing for Big
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Ben Maler. Man, I'll tell you one of the one
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: of the biggest missed opportunities in radio history. Right there,
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I was doing what band is? This is this? Lorena?
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry?
• 37:05
  Speaker 7: What was that?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: It's the Google Dolls, That's who it is.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: I forgot what that is.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: So I was doing my Goo Goo Dolls impression and
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: the mic wasn't hot yet. Man, So was that not
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: on point?
• 37:17
  Speaker 6: Or what I was?
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: So perfect? Should never do it again? Okay? So one
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: of the things I love about filling in for Big
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Ben Meller working with Coop and working with the Lorena
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: and the random stuff that we talk about off the air,
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: and they were running to the with like the break
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: room on a scavenger hunt for pie, right, And so
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: of course that leads to a full blown discussion, and
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I said, we might have to reveal our pie slash
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: cheesecake power rankings, you know, your top three flavors. And
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I asked Coop, I was like, are you cool with
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: a pie slash cheesecake combination? There? Is it? Absolutely not,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: no way. They're basically polar opposites. You cannot have a
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: hybrid of pie and cheesecake flavors. Is that not true?
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: They're Coop, I don't think that's what I said, as
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: I really am I embellishing or what did you say?
• 38:21
  Speaker 7: I just said that pie clears cheesecake, okay, made so
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: much better than cheesecake.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: That's the main curve ball, right, I mean I suppose
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: you could. Cheesecake is so good, that's so delicious, so good. Yeah,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't say that, it's not. I like chocolate cheesecake.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: I like cherry cheesecake. I like strawberry cheesecake. I like
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: New York cheesecake. I like the kind because there's different textures.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. No, yeah, there's different textures
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: of cheesecake. Not really, Why is it vastly superior in
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: your opinion?
• 38:55
  Speaker 7: Coop Lots of reasons you can. You can eat more
• 38:59
  Speaker 7: of it without feeling terrible. Uh, there's just a wider
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: variety of.
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I mean, I don't know.
• 39:10
  Speaker 7: Maybe now I guess I get as I get older,
• 39:13
  Speaker 7: maybe I can't tolerate it as well as I used to.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: But all right, so you can eat more. What else?
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: The variety flavor? We got a lot of flavors of cheesecake, yes, but.
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: They're all like a cream like a cheese base like
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: pie has variety. You can have like apple like and caramel,
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: or you can have like key lime, tartcker crust though
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Crust
