  Speaker 5: all your senses are pretty much I don't know what's
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: the word there.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know, deprivation, deprivation. Thank you.

  Speaker 5: You got the sensory deprivation tank and you're just sitting
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: there and you've got your own mind and that's all
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: you got, and it feels like you can think about anything.
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: It's kind of like the idea is.
• 1:24
  Speaker 5: I don't know if this is the idea, but it's
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: kind of like taking a hallucinogenic, your mind can go anywhere.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: You have me doing that. Huh, Well, I have.
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: You taking the hallucinogenic and then avoiding the sensory deprivation tank.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: But you know, I mean, listen, once I take the LSD,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I'm up for anything.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: Well, I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't take the LSD
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: and then go to the sensory deprivation tank because you.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Might freak the bleepout eight seven, seven ninety nine on
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Fox to the gentleman who saw me earlier and we'll
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: get to the ELPs in just a second. Who saw
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: me walking the hallways of this radio station? You're in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: pember Pines, Florida, with a walking around with a tray
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: of Stofer's spaghetti with meat sauce. Too little TV dinner.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I love a TV dinner and just whispered in my ear.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm not certain who the person is. And if
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I never find out, I'm good. And if we never
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: exchange another word, I'm good. He whispered in my ear,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: ducked in and said, that's what radio was all about.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, And you're right.
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: It is no way that gentleman who do you know him?
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: No, right, there's no way he got up to your
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: ear and whispered in your ear as you were holding
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: a Stofer stove up.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, perhaps I am Fellows and.
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: Like an Hurley.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I was also surprised to see that in our group
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: text year, Taylor likes to ask what we're going to
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: start the show with. I thought for sure that is
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: he wanted to start with either Wemby or Tiger Woods.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He felt like Tiger might be a little bit too
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: serious to start the show with, and perhaps just too
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: serious in general.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: And Wemby's too tall and Webby's too tall.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: And I was surprised to see unanimously by the way
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the reaction being the umpires oh Man.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: Baseball my favorite sports due I don't know if you
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: knew that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: No, what do you guys want to talk about as
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it relates to the UMPS, Because I don't like this
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: new system. I don't like what it does to the game.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not certain the umps are going to have a job.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You don't like ABS, huh, I don't. Well, I have
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: proof that I don't like ABS. It just it feels wrong.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: It feels like we're putting people kind of out of jobs.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I understand wanting to get it right, but some of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: the mystery of baseball is you know when umpire has
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: his own strike zone.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, go ahead, Taylor.
• 3:42
  Speaker 7: So I'm having a hard time focusing today because Stu,
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: if you come in this VIP room right now, Yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: Ricardo's got it set up like a sports bar with
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: every MLB day game on right now. Is he said
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: baseball is my favorite sport? We know is he's joking?
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: Ricardo has every MOB game on right now. I know
• 4:03
  Speaker 7: he has one in my face right here in the
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: studio watching. Yeah, the Metropolitans are on right now, the
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: day game.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: By the way, Ricardo always wearing Florida Marlins gear.
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: And this is not this is not making fun of him.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: This is a shout out for the greatest Marlins fan
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: in history.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: Just based on wardrobe.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: It's not even Miami Marlins.
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: He's wearing Florida. This is it's Teal before the Teal redistribution.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: The first place Florida Marlins. I mean, is that true? Yes?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: The f in Florida stands for first place. About bad yep,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: the Metropolitan They're.
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Currently the Marlins currently up nine to nothing. Great game
• 4:38
  Speaker 7: from Sandy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: He's back.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: He might be Uncle Byle.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: He won a saw Young Award, did he not?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: He did, all right, he did a little bit.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: He's gonna look good in a Dodger uniform.
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's my favorite. That's my favorite part watching Marlins games.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: You kind of just use the Marlins games to just
• 4:58
  Speaker 7: scout who the next guy the he's going to trade
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: for this team?
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: So is he?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts here on the umpiring since that's
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: where we wanted to start.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Well, I'll leave this to Taylor to give the finer
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: details on. But there's one particular if it used to
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: be Angel Hernandez that used to get all the you
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: know what from fans, But Sebe Buckner is a special
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: kind of terrible when it comes to umpiring. And yesterday
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: he had a play that I kind of want to
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: let Taylor describe, but he had a play that was
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: just so obviously terrible that it makes you think he
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: should just switch careers.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: So in Ray's Brewers, Jake Bowers is up. He hits
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: a ball, he's running it to first base. The throw
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: gets away. They go back and they try to tag him,
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: and everybody's like, what the heck is going on? The
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: CEBE Buckner calls him out and says he missed first base,
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: So the the Brewers get work to challenge it. They
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: challenge it very clearly steps on first base, and then
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: everybody's like, wait, how did he miss this call? They
• 6:04
  Speaker 7: show the replay of C. B.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Buckner. He's not even looking at first base.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I mean no, I mean listen, then no, look call,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I mean that's what it does.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: So they reversed the call and they called Bower safe
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: at first base, and they cut to both the Rays
• 6:20
  Speaker 7: and the Brewers dugout and both managers are essentially looking
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: at each other crying, laughing because they can't believe an
• 6:27
  Speaker 7: umpire is that bad as a job.
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: Taylor I just showed Stu a picture of the base
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: runner's foot in the middle on top of first base.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: He would have had to have levitated, you know that
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: trick that people do and they look like they're levit.
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: I forget that dance, but it's called.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: But he would have had to been randomly doing that
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: over the first base plate base to not touch that thing.
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: And like, it's not Stu. I just showed it to Stu. Yes,
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: it's not even close.
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: It's not like half of his foot one quarter of
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: his foot, it's like eighty percent of his foot is
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: on a base. And Cebe Buckner was adamant about this.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: I respect him for guessing. I respect I respect him
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: for trying to put some flair into it with the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: no look, because the only way you missed that call
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: is by not watching.
• 7:14
  Speaker 6: We have audio of the call.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Wait, we have audio, we do we play by play
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: of him missing a call.
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: Because even the announcers were flummoxed.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's play it.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: Bowers so did.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Out with Williamson throws the first it's wide, it's backed
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: up by four tes.
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: That should be a base at for ballas.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: Runner did not touch first base and then was put out.
• 7:40
  Speaker 9: So the call from Cebee Buckner is that Jake Bauers
• 7:43
  Speaker 9: missed first base and then was tagged out, not that
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: he made a move to.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Second base and was tagged out, that he flat out
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: missed the bag.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: And I think that is the horrendous call.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Where is sebe Butner.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: Looking looking at him? We would that ceb Buter was
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: not even looking.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: At the play. I'm not sure what CB Buckster's looking
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: at there. That's ridiculous. Well, I'm really excited for him
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: to have the plate tomorrow. Everybody laughing at that call.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: It just feel like he felt like, oh no, I've
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: got to do something, I've got to say something.
• 8:16
  Speaker 6: If he just would have said safe, it would have
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: been an absolute nothing.
• 8:20
  Speaker 10: That's exactly like is he that's a call like if
• 8:23
  Speaker 10: you miss everybody's like, oh okay, you missed that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Like what went in doubt?
• 8:27
  Speaker 10: Just call it the way it happened, which was, hey,
• 8:29
  Speaker 10: he beat him the throat ever got there, you're safe.
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: And if in some scenarios the base runner levitated over
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: first of the first place bag first base bag, then
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: maybe replay would have brought that out.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Mikey, you're asking him just to make the right call.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: He wasn't looking. He doesn't know what the right call is.
• 8:49
  Speaker 10: I'm not even asking him to make the right call,
• 8:52
  Speaker 10: asking him to make the easy call.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I love the no look punch out though, I do.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite things about umpires. I don't
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: care if it's accurate or not. I love no look
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: punch out.
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: I do.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: But to Mikey's point, ninety nine point nine percent of
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: the time the guy running to first is gonna hit
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: first base. The chances of him missing the base you
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: never know the one time you're not looking are so
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: small that you're gonna look so dumb. If the call
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: gets overturned, then you go to the replay. And Bowers
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: couldn't have squared up the base anymore with his.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Foot, and Taylor, the first baseman, was nowhere near the bag.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: So it was just this base runner either does not
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: know how to run and has never touched first base before,
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: or it is the most ridiculous call ever. And it
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: was the most ridiculous call ever because he wasn't.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That's the problem right there, the fact that he wasn't looking.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Or is it a problem, yes, Mikey, is.
• 9:50
  Speaker 10: CB Buckner taking money from whoever is developing the robotic umpires,
• 9:55
  Speaker 10: like because he's like, Hey, here's what we need you
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: to do. You just have to go out there and
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: make it a joke that they can only come to us.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Yes, don't look, he's raising the salary for the replay
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: umpires right now.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: The second thing that I thought of when I heard
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: all this and saw this C. B. Buckner stuff. Is
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: there another CB that you know in the world who
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: goes by the initials c B.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: It sounds like a guy who would write a book.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: It sounds like an author.
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: Yes, it sounds like a norm de plume. It sounds
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: like a fake name. Just yes, hell whatever, didn't pirates
• 10:32
  Speaker 6: have those?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Well? What is it? Say it again? Slowly by the.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Way, nom de plume.
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: Okay, so this is going to come as no surprise.
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: No, yeah, go ahead.
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: Carolina had an assistant coach named CEB McGrath who played
• 10:48
  Speaker 7: basketball at Kansas. Then he got hired as the UNC
• 10:51
  Speaker 7: Wilmington head coach twenty six and fifty eight, fired after
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: looks like three years at UNC.
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Wh No, to plume is a pseudonym. You know what
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: that is?
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: No?
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: Do you know that the most famous apparently the most
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: famous CB in history, which I believe C. B. Buckner
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: takes the cake. Here is an athlete, to believe it
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: or not, a sportsman and a teacher.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: Who shows you how old he is. They call him
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: a sportsman.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: C B.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: Fry Wow considered is a British considered one of the
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: greatest British athletes of all time.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: And he was a teacher as well.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: A teacher as well.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: It's more like a teacher.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Who just kind of got lucky by happenstance.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Also decent baseball.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Listen at that time is he had to work two
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: jobs sometimes three, just to make ends meets.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Everyone knows he was an English sportsman, a teacher, a writer,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: an editor and a publisher.
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: He's best remembered for his career as a cricketer or cricketer.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Is a cricketer cricketer Might you get on that cricket
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: cricket five player.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: But would you guys.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: Believe me if I told you that D. B. Buckner
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: had some competition for the worst let's say, refereeing in
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: an American professional sport last night.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Sounds hard to believe because up for NBA talk.
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: Yet well, no, it's just one quick call. Tony Brothers,
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: who there it is, I would.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Say famously, maybe infamously is just known for putting his
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: I don't know his personality and his own feelings in
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: front of actually the game right, So he gets very
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: into the game personally the way you shouldn't, right. Asar
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: Thompson from the Detroit Pistons yesterday was playing defense and
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: it's like a twenty point game. The Pistons are up
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: and a sar reaches over to try to swap the
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: ball from somebody. The ball gets loose, and immediately Tony
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: Brothers calls a foul. Assar Thompson turns to his bench
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: immediately and signals the replay call technical foul. What and
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: the Pistons did challenge the call, They won the challenge.
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: They challenge a call, They won the challenge. But Tony
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: Brothers almost immediately knew that signal a little too disrespectful
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: for me technical foul even though I got the call wrong.
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: So it was as if cbe Buckner would have awarded
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: the opposing team a base after getting his call wrong,
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: because damn it, his.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: Feelings were hurt.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Listen, you're gonna miss the no look punch out when
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: it's gone. I'm telling you, you don't think you're gonna
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: miss it, but when it's gone, you're gonna miss it,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna wish you had C. B.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Buckner back.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: I think that's the first one I've ever seen, though
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I'm gonna miss it. I've never
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: seen one before.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: So there the outfielder on the Rays. I hope he's
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: still on the raise. And I don't know how to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: pronounce his last name? Is it Randy? A Rose Arena?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: He's a Marin heros are what?
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Wow? He was a Ray though?
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: Like so he's famously cal Rally's teammate.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm all for the new system if this
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: is going to be the case. Because I was listening
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and I can't remember what show it is, and I
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: have apologize, but someone was telling a story that a
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Rose Arena the Mariner tapped his hat after a strike
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: three call, and that means he wanted to challenge it
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and didn't even wait for the challenge to happen.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Started walking down.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: The first baseline, taking off his elbow pad, taking off
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: all the stuff he needs to take off, and tossing
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: it to the dugout because he knew he was right
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: and the umpire was wrong.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: I am all for that. That is how you do it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: If that's the way players are going to do it,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: if they're going to make the umpires just look like
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: complete jackasses.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta pimp the abs call.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's a good move, but it really is just
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: walking because you're so confident in your eye over the
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: umpire's eye, and you're so confident the machine is going
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: to overturn that call. Yes, hell, you had something there.
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: I was gonna say we could. We could go to
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: the baseball bunker if you want a quick update.

  Speaker 1: to Al who is in Albuquerque today? He always is
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: go ahead, Al?
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: Oh hey, you got is he fifteen times? Long time?
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: I should mention quickly that I do own a dog
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: named Ulysses s dog and.
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: He is a guy. What do you call him?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Though?
• 16:14
  Speaker 6: You don't call him Ulysses, right.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: We call him Uhli for short.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: There you got a boy.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: That's why Ulysses, his wife would have said, Uli, I
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: can't do this, not Ulysses.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: No, No, you had too many syllables. But you guys
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: are talking TV dinners, stuffers, meat, lasagna, und speeded champ
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: of TV dinners. It made me wish that I knew
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: about those back when I was in college. Instead, we
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: just kept like a box of corn dogs in the oven,
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: just grabbed one when we wanted to eat something, Which
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: leads me to my question, what is the saddest meal
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: you can remember having? Where you remember thinking to yourself
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: as you're eating. I gotta get better than this someday, right, Yeah.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Mine was today.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Do you have a nominee out?
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: Oh yeah, that's why I mentioned the corn dogs, because.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: I know the corn dogs that Okay, I mean romen
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: noodles comes to minds.
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: I used to really like a frozen dinner man, like
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: if they if there was a decent frozen dinner that
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: would sort of mimic a turkey Thanksgiving meal, I could
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: eat that seven days straight.
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: From like ages eighteen to twenty five, I used.
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: To buy those fifty cent banquet pot pies, those hits
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: the spot, Like I still buy those to this day.
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: They still cost like seventy five cents.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Now, you haven't lived until you've gone to seven eleven
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: after a strip club and gotten a hot dog. I mean,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: do you remember the Hungry Man by the way, So
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm told, I mean a friend told me about that.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I didn't actually do what a friend told me, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: he said, you haven't lived until you've done that, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: so thank you to that friend.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I'll get around to doing it.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Hungry Man. Frozen dinners used to make me feel like
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: a real man, like.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Ah, this is what the guys, a little side of
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: mashed potatoes, some stuffing.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: And the proper portions and everything. I was like, yeah,
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: it was.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: A man.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I used to be. I used to be obsessed with
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: hungry mantainners.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: I would beg my mom to get them because they
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: were I love the little portions you got, like a
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: little dessert sides.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: You had the green beans that were just like steamed
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: into oblivion.
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: They didn't always warm up evenly like.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Some You got to peel back that little corner that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: you gotta mix them.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Up a little bit.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the people don't know.
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: You got to peel back the plastic, mix it up
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: a little bit, then put it back in there.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Why was Taylor asking me during the break if they
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: have sports radio in Italy?
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: Well, I asked that because Italy has now failed to
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: qualify for their third straight World Cup. Yes, and as
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: a country, as an Italian, we're at a crossroads right now.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: And since we're at these crossroads, it's time to focus
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: all our attention on baseball.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: It's a baseball country.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: Now, invest all all of our resources back in Francisco,
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: Cervelli and the boys in Blue, and let's get ready
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: because the next World Baseball Classic will be here before
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: we know it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: The pasquatch, right, Yeah, maybe put something on the Italian
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: flag that looks like a sasquatch.
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah, of all about that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: But Stuart's very confusing with Italy, right because not the
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: last time they qualified for the World Cup, but the
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: time before that that they qualified for the World Cup.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they won the thing.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I thought they were soccer power.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Yes they were.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: I mean Boggio, that's all I know.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: I just think that now it's just a little too
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: hard to qualify in Europe, perhaps because I mean.
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: They lost you know who they lost too student, No,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: I thought you might have known. They lost to Bosnia Herzegovina.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: They had to play two countries. I mean that's unfair.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: It is confusing the Bosnia n Yeah.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Some people write the actual and some people just put
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: out a dash. But I think people use that joke
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: with Trinidad and Tobago. But it hits every time.
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: This country, these two countries get to combine rosters.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: They don't have enough for one roster? Is that why
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: they do it? So they're playing a combined team of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: all stars essentially, Yeah, right from those two countries.
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that hurts.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: The Govina is really real soccer power house that they
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: get the combine with Bosnia.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Who would be the big sports radio host in Italy?
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I say, Jim Rome. It's what he should do for
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: his second act. Just co dominate Italy. Just call yourself
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Jim Roma, you know, just just make it a little
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: bit more authentic.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: Truth be told.
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Stu told that joke during the break off the
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: top of the dome, and it's even.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Funnier the second time he did.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: He set himself up for it, slow pitched it, hit it,
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: himself left the park.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: So they have to play two countries.
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: But Stude, this is kind of like when you went
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: to Australia, remember, and you were considering starting a radio
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: career in Australia.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I still am.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Yes, I think there's a lane for me to go
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: to Italy and become like the mad dog of Italian
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: sports radio.
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: Are you doing this an Italian? Or in Englishma?
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: And then I sign off.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Every day.
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: He give nothing but updates on some fan peccio.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: But to Miami, is there any substance or is that all?
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: Vinnie Pascatino, Mom, Mommy, Yeah, okay, I don't think we
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: can do that.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Would you be blasting the soccer coach today getting them fired?
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: What would you be doing?
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, I think he's I think he it's on him
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: today to resign. Italy should not have to fire this guy.
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: This guy has to resign.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: MoMA me.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: That should be the name of the show.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: Famously a movie named MoMA Mia, which it might get
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: confused with.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: So you just trop that out there.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: You take phone calls from for people in Rome, in Florence. Uh,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: and we fire the soccer coach again, and we all
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: agree that the soccer coach would resign before they fire
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: him because he let the country death.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: Let's go to Bruno and Putiniano.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: What do you got riva deci.
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: Bruno goes on a three minute rant and Italian tailor
• 22:35
  Speaker 10: doesn't speak it and then just goes rivender.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: That's his whole show.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: You know, we used to be a great country with
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: the flopping, and now we can't flop anymore.
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: This is terrible. We can't make it to the World Cup.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: I'd even been there fifteen chares.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, the guy would be the
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: number one rated show Men twenty five to fifty.

  Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That is eight
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Is He I made
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: a comment a few weeks ago about Luca never winning
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: a championship. I have a feeling I might be wrong,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: that I could be as I could be wrong as
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: soon as this season, because the Lakers look really, really good.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: And if Lebron is willing to be the third player
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: on that team, and right now he is, if he's
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: willing to be Horace Grant or Dennis Rodman to Austin
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Reeves and Luca, they have a shot.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: They really do.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: Horace Grant, a famous relative of Ulysses.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Missus Grant didn't like Missus Lincoln. That is so good.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, Missus Grant is a saint. Normally it's
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the guy trying to get out of plans. By the way,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: if you're gonna hang out with someone you don't like,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: you do it at a theater, right You don't have
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: to talk to him?
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: Right there? You go? Yes?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: I also I want names for Taylor's show in Rome
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox. I'm not certain Lucas shouldn't be
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the MVP this year. I'm certain you're going to disagree
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: with me.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: Though, No, it's not it's not that difficult, not that
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: far back from the truth, to be honest, Like I
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: was laughing about this because of Wemby's three pronged MVP
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: case that he gave the other day in the post game.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: Which he was asked specifically about it, like you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: give me a serial three ks or three.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: Reasons why you should be MVP, and he gave them all,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: and there was some some varying responses to that. You
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: had Draymond Green saying it was an embarrassment for him
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: to say that, as if he's the first person that
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: ever thought that defense is for you know, it was
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: half of the game, which I don't actually agree with.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: But if you look at.
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: The what happened there is it felt like people decided, Okay,
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: if Wemby is forcing me to do this, let me
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: dig in and let me see who's MVP.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: And at least that definitely happened for me and to me.
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: What Wemby's big case, his big closing argument for MVP,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: got him or will get him.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: Is a solid fourth place that it's in the MVP.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: I think you're right about that, behind Shay Gildons, Alexander one,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Luka Doncic two, and Nikola Jokic three.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: Yes, and it's.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: Not that he has not been dominant over this last stretch.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: I think I just told you this over the break.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: I think the numbers are twenty five out of the
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: last twenty six games that he has played.
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: In the Spurs have won.
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: Yes, you know that one loss Taylor to the knick Knicks.
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: So like all that is, you know, it's important. You know,
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: it's a great case for him for MVP. But the
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: MVP case doesn't start in mid February, just like it
• 25:54
  Speaker 5: doesn't end in mid February, like a lot of people
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: want to do. They just make their case and then
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: they just stop thinking about it. But throughout the entirety
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: of the season, Vic just isn't the MVP. Ye Like
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: he had that minutes restriction for a while there when
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: he came back from an injury and was playing twenty,
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: you know, twenty some minutes a game, to the point
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: where now he's playing for the season thirty less than
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: thirty two minutes a game when all the other guys
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: are playing, the other three contenders are playing thirty three
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: and a half four more. Yes, right, and you've got,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: you know, obviously sort of the heliocentric offense. I know
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: you know what that means around Luca. That is Luca
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Dancits and the Lakers. How much he is responsible for
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: what they do. Yes, he's got Austin Reeves. Yes he's
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: got Lebron James, but he is the number one A,
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: B and C options in La Lucas.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: So it's a lot of weight he's got to carry.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: And he has been spectacular, like unstoppable over the last month.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Taylor put it on a poll, well Wemby's MVP lobby
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: and get him a solid fourth place finish, because I think,
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I think is he is right about this sports media
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: as a whole. We don't like to be told what
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to do. We'll tell you who the MVP is, don't
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: tell us, and don't state your case as to why
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: you're the MVP. The more you do it and the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: longer it is, the more unlikely it is.
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: That I'm going to vote for you.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I think he is dead on With this, Taylor has
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the MVP odds courtesy of our friends over at FanDuel.
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: So the MVP favorite is still Sga minus four fifty.
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: In second it is Victor Wembinyama at plus three point fifty,
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: Luca is plus three thousand, and then Nikole Jokich is
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: plus ten thousand.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that is for the betters, because I think if
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: you were to ask several.
• 27:40
  Speaker 6: MVP voters or Awards voters.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: Probably outside of Texas, I think he'll get pretty much
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: the top four that I'm giving you in large part,
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: again not to say that he has not been dominant lately,
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: not to say that he hasn't played like an MVP lately,
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: but you have to give the entire picture, and there
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: was a segment of the season where he was not
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: as available even though he was playing games.
• 28:02
  Speaker 10: Sounds to me like you're saying, throw a little sprinkle
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: on Luca at those odds when you had him second.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm here.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, I don't think he's going to
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: overtake SGA. SGA's efficiency this year has been ridiculous. He's
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: shooting fifty five fifty six percent from the field. He's
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: doing that in a season where his co all star
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: in Jalen Williams, has not played a whole lot, and
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: the other guy that they considered a big three and
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: chet Holmgren has not had a let's say, spectacular season,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: and yet he's been more efficient and his team is
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: still on top of the standings in the Western Conference.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: I think it's a done deal. SGA is the.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: MVP, but if anybody was going to catch him with
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: a late run, it was going to be Luca because
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: the way he is absolutely dominating that team. The things
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: that Victor Webbin Yama has improved a lot in the
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: last couple months. His rebounding numbers are going through the
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: roof lately, and obviously just his presence and the way
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: they play offense with him is improving. But in terms
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: of the one reason why they're team is where they
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: are most, you know, more so than anybody else, I
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: think it's clearly SGA and Wemby's in fourth place, man,
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: because you got to look at those Jokic numbers and
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: stop being bored by them.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but SGA leads a league in boring, and you're saying,
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: in this case, being boring is going to help SGA
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: lay in the MVP, And I think you're probably right
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: just by not saying, well, I don't.
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: Think the voters worry about being boring necessarily, at least
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: they shouldn't know.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: Yeah, so it looks like he's number one in efficiency
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: and then also first in ZZZ plus.
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: G Ritz is not a factor when it comes to MVP.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: It might be a factor when it comes to television ratings,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: but not to MVP.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: But if I wasn't hosting a radio show right now live,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I would come in there and hug you.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I mean I really would.
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: ZZZ Plus he got called for an offensive foul in
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: the game that they ended up winning an overtime, But
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: he got called for an offensive foul on a potential
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: game winner that was the most meek of pushoffs that
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: you'll ever see. But because of his rep reputation as
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: the pushoff guy, even though everybody does it, he got
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: that offensive foul called against him. And I'm telling you, Stu,
• 30:06
  Speaker 5: it's that reputation and those calls, those little fifty to
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: fifty calls that are going to go against the Thunder
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: in these playoffs, right, I'm telling you it's going to.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Contribute to them not winning a Championship.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: By the way, Jokich second place ZZZ plus two boring superstars,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: He's oh.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: I get the SGA bored them stuff like, oh, I
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: don't really care how well he pivots, like that footwork
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: is not my fit.
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: But Nicola Jokic does some stuff. Man. That was this one.
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: That was one play where it was a nothing right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: It was an like zero point five seconds left on
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: the clock. They still got to go full court, and
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: it's like, I got Jokic, maybe we can do something.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: The inbounder threw it to just a random empty space.
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: Jokic knew exactly where he was going, and then he
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: tried to in one motion just zippy forty five feet
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: into the basket. He didn't didn't succeed. But if anybody
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: in the league could do that, it's that dude. That's
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: not boring. You just got to watch him play and
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: you'll find a bunch of things that'll make you go
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: holy crap.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I asked the question yesterday, have we had a march
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: or what Luca had a march? Am I reading this correctly?
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Did he have six hundred points in March?
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: Six hundred points?
• 31:15
  Speaker 5: I don't know who's the other player who have had
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: that many points in a month would last. I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: it was Michael Jordan one. Maybe it was Kobe, but
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: he's had a crazy month. And that's where I'm saying,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: like a lot of people are voters, not necessarily voters,
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: but a lot of people who decide these things in
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: their heads, say, ah, they've already made their MVP decision
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: by the beginning of March. Maybe, but you've got to
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: take the whole season into consideration, especially now in today's
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: sort of parody NBA, where you know, there's probably five, six,
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: seven teams that can win a championship. So the regular
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: season for those teams that aren't tanking pretty darn important
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: all the way through the end. So you got to
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: consider the MVP stuff all the way through the end.
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: How many points did Bam wind up finishing with this month,
• 31:54
  Speaker 7: probably like ninety five.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Three game.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Look it up, please, I would look it up. But
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: if I don't like the answer, I'm not telling you.
• 32:05
  Speaker 12: Did you notice how quickly he rushed to Djokich his defense.
• 32:09
  Speaker 12: He loves the NBA and this guy, he gotta be
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: so mad at us because we never talked basketball until
• 32:15
  Speaker 12: we get to March and we don't stop talking about
• 32:16
  Speaker 12: college basketball, and.
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: The team that I want to talk about the most
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: is in Houston Rockets. Did you guys won't give me
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: any axeable?
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Well, no, because we're gonna talk North Carolina because it's
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: March and now went to April here and Taylor is
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: awaiting who the next head coach of North Carolina is
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be. What's the update there, Taylor?
• 32:30
  Speaker 7: So it seems like it's coming down to Tommy Lloyd
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: or Billy Donovan. Wow, the floor feels like it's gonna
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: be Billy Donovan. Carolina ceiling seems like it's gonna be
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: Tommy Lloyd because he's by far Carolina's top choice who's
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: currently coaching Arizona, and you would think Arizona would rush
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: to either extend him or quiet the noise. And every
• 32:58
  Speaker 7: time Tommy Lloyd is asked about the North Carolina job,
• 33:02
  Speaker 7: he does everything but deny it.
• 33:04
  Speaker 13: I'm sure when you made that comment in San Jose
• 33:07
  Speaker 13: about there's gonna be a great coach after me.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: I know you've made similar.
• 33:10
  Speaker 13: Comments like that before about the program history. But some
• 33:14
  Speaker 13: people who think taking them to think, well.
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: Maybe maybe he's going to go.
• 33:18
  Speaker 13: So what do you make of that and has anything
• 33:20
  Speaker 13: changed me? And as there's still is talk out.
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: There, it's absolutely true. There's gonna be another coach. This
• 33:24
  Speaker 11: is a great program. I didn't say when you know,
• 33:29
  Speaker 11: I mean, and people are gonna speculate all they want, Guys,
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: this team has my full focus. Nothing nothing, I promise you,
• 33:37
  Speaker 11: nothing is knocking me off that path. And you, guys
• 33:41
  Speaker 11: might call them distractions because you're distracted. That doesn't mean
• 33:44
  Speaker 11: I'm distracted or we're distracted. You know what's pretty cool.
• 33:47
  Speaker 11: Once you get some experience in this deal and you're
• 33:49
  Speaker 11: a player or you're a coach who's been at it
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: a while, you get pretty good at, you know, eliminating
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: the distractions. So I think I'm pretty good at that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 11: And I just can't wait to get the practice today.
• 33:59
  Speaker 11: I'm gonna go meet with the staff right now. We're
• 34:01
  Speaker 11: probably a little bit late. That's why Nate's pushing me
• 34:03
  Speaker 11: to get up there, and I'm going to go try
• 34:06
  Speaker 11: to have a good practice.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: Congratulations Taylor, He's headed to Chapel Hill.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: That's a lot of words there, too many, And one
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: of the words I didn't hear is no, I'm not going.
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: I just want to give this like, I think you
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: got a good one there, Taylor. Whenever he gets to
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: North Carolina, You've got an honest man, You've got to
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: do that's not going to lie in the face of
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: all these people, only to two weeks later be called
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: out for lying in the face of all these people.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: I like this guy. Hopefully he succeeds in North Carolina.
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: So I don't think it's I think there's just as
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: good a chance that he stays at Arizona, and Arizona
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: and him and the athletic director could work out whatever
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: issues they kind of have that have kind of been
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: pushing him towards Chapel Hill, or that thought that's pushing
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: him towards Chapel Hill. But man, I feel bad for
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: Arizona that this is their first Final four in over
• 34:58
  Speaker 7: two decades, and the entire conversation around them making the
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: Final Four is, Hey, this great season, the coach might leave.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: That's where we're at in college sports right now. It's okay,
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: they'll get Billy Donovan.
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, Taylor, in your mind, is North Carolina a
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: good enough job to where if he does win a
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: national championship this year, he will still announce a week
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: later that he's going to North Carolina.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: So this is interesting because Lane Kiffin had a chance
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: to win a national championship. It really depends on the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: coach and how much this stuff matters to them, Right,
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin cared about being the head coach of LSU,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: even though I'm not certain there's much of a difference
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: anymore in terms of where you are a head coach.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I think the advantages are the same at Mississippi as
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: they are probably at LSU. So I don't know Tommy
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Lloyd at Hall and I don't know how important it
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: is to him to be the next head coach at
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: North Carolina, And that's the important part.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think I think Arizona has the capability to
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: match North Carolina from a financial perspective. It just kind
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: of comes down to what Tommy Lloyd's preferences. And I
• 36:02
  Speaker 7: think that that fractured relationship that he might have with
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: their athletic director is really going to be the thing
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: that if they could figure it out, he stays at
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: Arizona because Arizona has kind of proven with Tommy Lloyd,
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: you're going to be this final four program. Or if
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: Tommy Lloyd does have some concerns about the stability of
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: that athletic program. What's waiting for you on the other side,
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: one of the best jobs in college basketball in North Carolina.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: All right, some details about Luka Danci six hundred points
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: in March. Michael Jordan holds the record from most points
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: in a single NBA March with six hundred and seventy six.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: He did that in nineteen eighty seven and he was
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: a baby. And Kobe Bryant in two thousand and six
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: had five hundred and seventy eight points in March. Bam
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: out of BAIO this March, despite scoring eighty three points
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: in one game, had three hundred and sixty three points.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: HS terrible.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I mean he went back to being BAM after that
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: one game. You see what he did there, Taylor. He
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: took the whole North Carolina conversation away from.
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: You know, it was over, Taylor.
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that I would have it.
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't have anything.
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: Else after that.
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: And now just like that, we can talk, will waite
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: if you want, but it's break time.
