  Speaker 1: This is a podcast called twenty Talking Basketball and they
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: were a whist, so yes, but what didn't you expect?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: It's a podcast called Welcome. Oh that was weak, man.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Can you beat that? Yeah? It's like I beat that?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: You ready, all right, let's start the show. That was
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: weird too. Speaking of which, Eddie has been coaching his
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: son's nine year old basketball team. M HM didn't end
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: up very good. Huh, it really didn't. And it's it's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: unfortunate because the end of the season was strong, like
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we finished like five winning five in a row, and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: then we go into the tournament like feeling really really good.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, ask Kevin. But when we walked
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: in there, it was the early game. It was at
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: nine AM, and I asked all the kids to be
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: there at eight that way we can run through stuff.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But just from the beginning, they were distracted. They were
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: tickling each other and like I had a nine Oh, soil'
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: gonna say they're nine year old? No no, no, no,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: no no, that's no excuse. And having a good place coach.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: It all goes back to the coach. We'll see. I
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: had to stop the pregame warm ups and be like
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: everybody stopped. Why stop? Look at the team we're playing,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and they were on the other side of the court,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and they're all they're doing their drills man like lay
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: ups and doing like, you know, jump stops and stuff,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: and I go, do you see any of those guys
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: tickling one another? Do you see them like we're rubbing
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: their hair on their heads? No? Exactly, And that's why
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: they're going to win if we don't start getting our
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: act together. Is that a culture issue? And who sets
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the culture? Why are you always on their side? I'm
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: not on their side. I'm just so that's not an
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: excuse that your kids are acting out if you're the
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: coach of the kids. Kevin and I we talked every
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: practice like why don't they listen to us? Like they
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: we cannot grab their attention. It's like even Kevin has
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: to be like, guys listen to coach, look at him,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: listen to them because they don't listen. What's the problem, Kevin. Yeah,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: that's a huge factor is you watch these other teams
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and you're like, these kids are all focused, and I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: always ask Eddie. I'm like, Eddie, I don't have a kid.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I don't have a nine year old, So I need
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: to know where's the line drawn? Like how much can
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I yell at these kids? Can I under them? Can
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I make him run? Can I make him do push ups?
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I don't really know because I don't have any kids.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: And he always still didn't know. Dude, just lay into him,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: make him. I don't know why I did that, man,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: that's weird. Told him so it's Ober. Yeah, we're done.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: We're done. And yeah, we didn't do anything in the tournament.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: We lost both games. It was tough. And yeah, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: can I say something. I almost got kicked out he did,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and I'm not proud of it. Yeah, dude, I'm not
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: proud of it. But and me and the ref had
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we talked about it afterwards, but I was right what happened, Kevin.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Kevin will have my back. The coaches on the other team.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: I talked to him later, they're like, dude, I'm on
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: your side, but they just this ref was just loud
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and like violation red team nut, We're going that way.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: He's just yelling the whole time. But he wouldn't call anything.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: He was just call like laying violations, but he wouldn't
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: call reaching ins. He wouldn't call travel. He wouldn't call anything,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and finally he called one and I said, ref, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: could have done that ten times ago, and he blows
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: his whistle. He looks at me and goes, warning, technical
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: if you get one more year out of here, and
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'm like, so you gotta tech, that's all you said.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I was like, all I said was you could have
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: called this, or you gotta tech or you gotta warning.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I got I got a warning. But he literally said
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you're out of here one more time, but you need
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: two techs to be kicked out, not according to this guy,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Not according to this guy. So anyway, I literally sat
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: down and ask Kevin. I was like fine, I sat
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: down and he kept yelling at me and being like
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I'm doing my job. Let me do my job, you
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: do your job. And I was like, I'm not saying anything.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sitting down, and then Kevin chimes in this awesome yeah.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: He came back at Eddie. It was all done for
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: like twenty seconds. All done. Can Let's keep playing? And
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: this guy had an ego boost and he was just like,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you know what, you're not allowed to talking like that.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I will talk to you like this all And I said, dude,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we get it. You got the jersey, you got the stripes,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you asserted your dominance. We're moving on. Let's go. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, yeah, okay, So I thought we're like what.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But to his point, sometimes you have to deal with
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: that in life and in nine year old basketball where
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: somebody comes in that has some authority that maybe it
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: doesn't feel comfortable to you because they're a douche bag.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that you can fight it and win.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to swallow your pill sure and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: find an effective way to communicate with the douche And
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it sounds like he didn't do that game. No, we
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: were already out of it. We're already out of it,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and you set kicked out of an awesome I told
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Kevin that. I'm like, well, we had one more game
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: later with him reffing. But I but I did go
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: up to him afterwards and I said, hey, Reff, I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: just want to apologize. That's that's not you did. I did.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I did. I'm sorry about that. Like, that's not me.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: He's like, listen, man, he's thank you for saying that,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: but listen, this is my saturday. I coach college. I
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: reff college basketball I do all sorts of stuff. This
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: is really just on my spare time that I do this.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: So you know, I don't want to hear that from
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: these coaches or you guys, or the parents or whatever.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: And I get it, but listen, let me let me
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: tell you my point. The kids are really what this
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: is all about. And if you're doing your job correctly,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the kids aren't going to learn basketball. Like that's all
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I was saying. He's like, yeah, I get it, but
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not calling anything today. This is kid nine year
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: old basketball. I'm not calling anything. I'm like, I think
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you should. You know, like I think you should, because
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: how are we going to teach him not to reach in,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: not to try? Yeah, I feel you, But it's also
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: his job to make the rules. I mean, refs will
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: let teams play in college they will not. They will
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: enforce hand checking a lot more on a Tuesday than
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: they will a Saturday. Sure, they'll let So I wanted
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: to let it be known though it's not about me.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not fighting. No, I feels like it's about you
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and you lost. Now, why are you taking the refs?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm taking the side up. Sometimes you have
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to deal with people that you don't like, that you
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: don't feel are acting in a way that they should.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: And it's not always pushback as hard as you can.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's all right, how do I win this with
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: honey instead of vinegar the crap? That's exactly what he said.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I have talked to him about this now. I have
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to deal with people all the time, like in my
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: professional space, I cannot stand but they have no idea,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and I try to make their lives easy as possible
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: so I don't have to deal with them. One I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to deal with them. I don't like them.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I want to deal with them, but so I'm gonna
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: make their life easy. They think we're best friends. I
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: can't freaking stand them, but I'm not gonna be an
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: issue and I know I can't push hard. So what
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is I'm gonna help them do their
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: things so they help me do mine. And yeah, sometimes
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's a hard pill to swallow, and you get
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: a humble yourself to do it. But in the all
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I care about is net results, that's it. And my
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: net result is I'm closer to my goal or I've
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: finished a to z. If I'm pushing what my pride,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you know, it gets whacked a little bit. Otherwise, Yes,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: it's a new thing. Well, we apologize. We were all good.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: We talked, and then he officiated the nowon game and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: we're we're fine. He also didn't know the rules. He
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: really didn't. Man, it doesn't matter that, even as it
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: also can you do this? It also doesn't matter. He's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: a freaking ref. It doesn't matter. I bottom donuts. I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: do like that. It's good. What did you learn though? Nothing? No,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you did. But if you have a huge problem with
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: somebody and you can't actually win that fight, it's not
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: worth it for your ego to get into the fight
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: if you can't win it, So let's figure out another
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: way to win it. That's not I don't have an ego.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I never fought about me. You absolutely have an ego
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: with coaching, and this guy was like stepping in on you.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: I was like, just how to do it? And you're like,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: well no, no no, no, but he had the each But
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: but but I agree, there's nothing you can do about it.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: There was nothing I can do about it, So why
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: make it worse, which is what you did? No, I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: sat down. I didn't do anything I sat down and
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he kept yelling at me. I made it. I was like,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I loved it, though you have my back. I love it. Well.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Sounds like the season was a tale of three seasons.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Real bad, then good, then oh oh forgot we're bad again?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Pretty much yea life? Yeah, yeah, thanks Coleman, that is true.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: What basketball games did you go to over the weekend?
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I went to let's see on Friday Troy Coastal Carolina.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Then Saturday I had a doubleheader, was in Birmingham for
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Samford Furman, and then went up to Western Kentucky to
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: watch him play. You a be my second time watching
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: UAB in the same days. Yeah, same, so like a one. Yeah,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: it was at one o'clock in Birmingham and then it
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was a three hour fifty minute drive to the seven
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: o'clock game at UAB and I got there right at
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: tip heard a Western conduct referee. It was a little dick, No,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: they're out there, man, the same ref And then Sunday
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I was at Memphis hosting Cincinnati. Okay, that's that's a
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: little more big time, absolutely FedEx for him. That was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: far and away the nicest arena that I've been in.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Oh do they play at FedEx every game. I don't
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: know if they do every game, but they did for
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that one, and I would guess there was ten K there.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was a good showing. Did we try
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: to get you on that one? Yes and night? I
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: think Memphis big time US. I don't think they responded.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: They've been one of the few if only okay, well
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: have Curson away? Might we tried and no luck with
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: them big time. That's so weird because who they ax? Memphis? Who?
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Everyone else has been so easy to work with? But yeah,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I think with Penny any Man big time to NBA star,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: who's Memphis nothing? A team that flails out every year,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that has all the talent in the world and then
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: ends up sucking hind teat by the time tournament comes around. Correct?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Think there's something correct And Larry Brown's not there anymore? Right?
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Is he an assistant? Still? I don't think no, no, no, no,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: like that matters Larry Brown due legends so, but the
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: other games you had good seats and absolutely Elmont I
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: guess that was Thursday, but I mean they set me
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: up directly at half court uab I ended up sliding
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: in courtside um. It was great, dude, that's crazy. I'm
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: getting jealous. But it's just so much basketball. Yes, a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: ton of sixty three games sixty one days. My regular
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: season's over, so it'll be conference tournament times. Here. You
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: did sixty three games in sixty one days, sir, seven
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: doubleheaders in this five days. And you still know your wife,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: right you guys? Yes, I do. Yes, he's not here today.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: She'll be back out with me the third Well, what
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: did you have to say about her experience here on
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: oh the last week? She loved it. She was a
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: little surprised. I mean, she wasn't expecting to be a
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: guest and wasn't expecting to be called on that much.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But I thought she handled this. Yeah, I thought she's awesome. Yeah,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: she was great. Eddie told me a funny story because
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: we were leaving from doing Friday Show, and Eddie, you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: were like trying to get Coleman's number. Yeah, because he
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: was saying he'd be back and come to another basketball
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: game in Nashville. I said, dude, if you come back
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: and they do a play, I'll go with you. So here,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: put your number in my phone. So I gave him
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: my phone and he put his number and called himself
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that way he can have the number. And then like
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: thirty minutes later, I get a phone call on my phone.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I pick it up. I'm like hello, and it's called me.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: He's like, I got a number. I got a call
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: from this number. Not sure who this is. I'm like, Coleman,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: it's Eddie. You called yourself? How did you forget that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so quick? So what happened was the number that popped
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: up said I wasn't thinking about the last name, so
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I thought it was her calling and I was like, oh,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: maybe there's something I missed. Called back. No, Eddie forgot
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: that I had called his phone calling me. I thought
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: I had called him from my phone. But bones the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: way he called is I got a call from this number?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Did he have business voice on? Like? Oh, for sure?
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: This is Coleman? Is this Memphis? But now you guys
• 11:24

  Speaker 1: of course what you say that. A couple of things.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: First of all, that Iowa Michigan State game really one
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: of the crazy things I've ever seen in my life
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: in a college basketball game. Did you get to watch
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: You probably watch it live, Colma. Did you watch it
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: either the full replay or see the highlights of it.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: I gotta see the highlights of it. Saw the shot
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to tie the game up. But yeah, coming back from
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: that definit tenable a minute left, Yeah, unbelievable. And the
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thing is Michigan State was making the free throws until
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the very last free throw the A'll do is make
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: it to put it up four, and he missed a
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: free throw. I mean, it was one of the most
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: unbelievable games a last minute and half of a college
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: basketball game as I've ever seen, not just watching the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Arkansas game. We plably pretty good against Albama in Alabama.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: We lost by three. I thought, listen, we were up
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: by eight or so at half. It's tough to go
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: in there and win, and I was low irritated. We
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: ended up losing that one. But that Michigan State Iowa
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: game one of the craziest things I've ever seen. And
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: so if you haven't seen the highlights of that, go
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: look at it, because it was ten with maybe even
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: like fifty seconds left. To relate to that game a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: little bit, but to tie it to the small amen majors,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I had a game that I bet on a pick
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: him Little Rock, so a little close to you by
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: all right, yes, yeah, playing Lindenwood this game, the winner
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: gets to keep their season alive go on to the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Ohio Valley Conference Tournament. The loser done season over Little Rock.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Up seventeen points with under five minutes to go in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the game, I'm choking it up as a win gets
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: sent into overtime, they lose them. How do they look? Okay?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Seventeen ya there overtime turnovers three balls, turnovers three. I mean,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: it was unbelievable. Lindenwood got red hot, they were at home,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: got the momentum, and little Rock choked. So Eddie and I, Oh,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: should I text Chess and So if he's right, that'd
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: be great. Yes, let me get Chess. Chess and Hadley. No,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I know that golfer, right, but I don't know know
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: him personally. That's what I'm at. We're talking about you
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: on the sports show I do. Now, are you available
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to talk back? Because that would be cool? If not,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: no worries last minute for sure. Old music. So Eddie
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: and I both follow golfer on the PGA tour named
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Chess and Hadley. Now, I was at Pebble Beach playing
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: or in the week of warm up because I didn't
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: get to play in the tournament because I went to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the Oscars. No, what was it called the Grammys? What music? Yeah?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Music and so but I was just moving in a
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: crowded room and there was a dude next to me
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: and a little taller than me. So I was like,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: I hate this guy a little taller. Yeah, and then
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: like a a really like you know, some sheets have
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a really high cotton, like a thread count like his vest,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: like like his high thread count vest. And I was like,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: how's to go a man? He goes, hey, man, what's up.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: We're just kind of talking a little bit because we're
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: just shoved into each other, and he was like, I'm Jason.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I was like cool. It was kind of loud, I said, Eddie,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I met Jason. He goes, his name's Chessen. I said, oh,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: I just couldn't hear. I'm trying to whisper in a
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: loud room. Yeah, it's not Jason, it's Chessen. So Chessen
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: played at the Honda Classic over the weekend. He's a PG.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, he plays all these tournaments. So I have
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: him on my ESPN alerts that if he wherever he
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: is in the tournament, it just shows me him up
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: there on the grid. And he was like twelfth, eleventh.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I think he got eighth at one point, and so
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Eddie hits me up and he goes seven was the highest.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: And he goes, let's go, let's bet um our guys.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh yeah. I didn't think about betting
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: my friends who I've met one time, but we texted friends,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and so I even texted him earlier that day before
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: he said this. I was like, hey, man, it looks
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: like you're playing great. Congratulations. He's like, yeah, la la la,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: And so we bet him and he didn't end up
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: playing terrible. But I think we didn't win any money
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: because I bet him to win it, to finish top
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: five and top ten, and I think he finished like
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: twenty third or something. Yeah. I think of the highest
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: I saw him was tied for seventh, which is like,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: you know what money made? No, Kevin, can you look
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: that up to see what money he made this weekend?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I wonder what like whatever he finished twenty third makes
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: on the Honda Classic. And if he calls, should we
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: have some guesses where I'm gonna guess one hundred and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: forty k is what he made? Man, I have no idea.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess M ninety five thousand dollars. It's got
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: to be more than that, right, it looks like you
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: finished twenty ninth. Okay, okay, twenty ninth. We don't know anyway.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Do they even make that public yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: the purses public. Okay, I found it. What do you got?
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Whoever said that forty six grand? I'll take it than
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: I thought. Let's go. Yes, However, the issue is to
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: pay back sponsors and stuff. No with those golfers have
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: to basically pay their You have to pay your own way.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: You're you're It's like Andy when he played tennis, Roddick
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: like he was like, it's hard for players that aren't
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: in the top thirty even to travel around the world.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You gotta pay for all your fly it's all your hotels.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Like you're just a worker and you go and you'd
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: get in these tournaments they allow you in. It's not
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: like they are sending a plane for you. But isn't
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: that what the patches are for? Like, well, so that's
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: also how you make money. Give me the patch and
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: some well depending on what do you say? That's not him?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Did you text the ripers? Yeah, the company just I
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: don't know. It's a matter I get after the show's over.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: You know those people I talk about here you go.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: It's like I turned my phone over, I wouldn't see it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But then I gotta wait and save a chess and
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: messages me back. But yeah, it costs. But some of
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: those you get paid based on how good you are,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and then you get paid based on how good you
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: are at in the tournament. Like you can actually make bonuses,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: but you won't make a hole. Let's say you're a
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: golfer that's ranked eighty third, okay, and you sign a
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: deal with tied bleach toward on your hat. They're not
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: gonna pay the eighty third guy a whole bunch of
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: money up front because you're eighty third. They're gonna give
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you a little something. It's gonna help for sure, but
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: also they're probably gonna have into contract. Hey, if you
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: make it, you make the cut this, you finish top ten,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: because that's just more placement on TV, social media, etc.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: So that's tough, yeah, man. And so these tournaments like, yeah,
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty people playing, like, it's hard
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: to be eighty third. I hope you didn't know. I
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: hope Jessen doesn't like, I don't want to be this
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: guy's friend. He's messaging me to like be interviewed. You
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: think you're texting him a little too much. Yeah, I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: never golf a friend before. It's yea yeah, if you
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: ask me the truth. Yeah, I mean first text. Let's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: just see I read him to you know, shame here
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: like the transparency. How many times it has he responded
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: to your texts? Because if it's far, I'll be honest
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: with the others way more blue, which is me. I know. Yeah,
• 19:56

  Speaker 1: been talking to himself and being like he respond to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: this guy. Then he wrote, Bobby, what a legend. Thanks

• 21:17
  Speaker 1: this to Eddie but it was a screenshot of him
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: being in the top ten. But I sent it to
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: him that you sent to him. Yeah, I don't know why,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: because it means, like, bro, I know where I'm where
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: my standings are now that I look at that. There
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: was no reason for me to do that. You know,

  Speaker 1: sometimes you text the wrong person because you're talking about him. Yeah,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: and you're like, oh god, yes, at least that was that.

• 23:12
  Speaker 1: That's just fine talking to the controller and speakers of

  Speaker 1: the controller. So I let I'll let Steve here. We
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: talk to rich Eysen on speaker phone, and he was like,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: that's a cool thing I ever heard him. But Richard
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: was just like, hey man, when you come on, it's
• 23:27

• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Like obviously he's at the combine and I'll talk to
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: him once, I think each day, but otherwise he's like,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: do what you want to do. And so they were like, hey,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: who do you want a book? And I don't know
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: who do we book? And so Mike and I were
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: talking and then we just decided to get selfish and
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: just people we wanted to meet. Yeah, and that was
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the only goals, Like, let's just ask for people we
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: want to meet, and if they're also on the show, okay, cool,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: but we don't know who we're getting. But I selfishly,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: So I went on Craig Kilburne's podcast like six months ago.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: So I messaged him, was like, hey, you want to
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: come beat my guest and person on Isaac yea, I'll
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: be there. So it's coming in Thursday. That's awesome. Like
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Craig Kilburn's always like this is super cool, awesome, and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: like I felt like he was gonna say yeah if
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: he could, but right Mike, he was just on he's
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: just in right easy. Yeah, that's and he lives out there,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: so it's just a you know, a few minute drive
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and so Mike, I said, Mike, whoever you want, just
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to request him. And now these are long shots. But
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Mike requested Michael B. Jordan and if he's around, right,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: you may not be around. I requested Pedro Pascal that whatever,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the guy from the Last of Us, the main Guyan.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: I never watch that show. That guy's cool. My wife
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: says he's so funny on social media. Yeah he's so,
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: I requested him. We've requested some other but we just
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: got a bit selfish with our So you're just like,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: we're in Hollywood, let's just go for everyone. Yeah. Then
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: I was like Baker Mayfield said, because I don't know
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: what the rams working out, I don't know. Yeah, so
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: if we heard back about any of them yet, they
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: reached out about Baker Mayfield, Okay, let's go. There's in Friday.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: They said, Michael B. Jordan is a long shot, and Pedro, yeah, good,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't hear. No, you know that's right. So I'll
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: be on Thursday and Friday, and I'm super pumped about that.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: The end on that little situation. Let's go to the
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: chess in hot line. Still no no text. Okay, Matt Ryan,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: where should he go? Because we talked about Aaron Rodgers.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He's going somewhere. We talk about Aaron Rodgers, we talk
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: about the domino that if he ends up going to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Where does that put car? What does Lamar do?
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: What does we can go down? All that that? Everybody's
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: talking about the quarterbacks in the draft also, But if
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you were Matt Ryan, where would you go? Right? That
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can go? You know what I demand
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: to start for the Chiefs. You can't. You're Matt Ryan.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: You have to talk realistically. If you're Matt Ryan, where
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: do you go? Take fifteen seconds to think about that, Coleman.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: If you're Matt Ryan, where do you go? Lay quarterback?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Ideal world the Jets? But because I believe in their
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: young talent, they killed the draft this last year. Um
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: So in an ideal world, if I'm Matt Ryan, I'd
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: like to go to the Jets, be in New York.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: But can he pick where he gets to go? Well?
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: He done well enough lately to do that. If I'm
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, I'm going to Kansas City as the backup.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Oh I see that? Yeah? They love Chad Henny over
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: there though he was he was on the airplane with
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the trophy going like that, sit him out on top.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Good for him, man, Yeah, so that's not bad. Then
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: I think I probably go and ring chase a bit
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: with Kansas City and be a Now I don't know
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: if he still feels like he can start, and if so,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: does he wait around wait for somebody to get hurt. Go.
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: That's so interesting to go to Kansay just to be
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a backup and get that ring and then go. It's
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: so interested. If mahomes ever goes down to have all
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: those weapons, have Andy Reid, you can prove yourself and
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: then maybe you get, you know, a better contract as
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it started in the next year. I don't know. He's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seven. Then, Kevin, how about this the Niners? Yeah, Shanahan,
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that would be my second pick. Go back to Shanahan.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: They always get hurt all their quarterbacks well play at
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: some point the quarterback to get hurt his arm. Yeah,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Purty broad Party, it's so swollen he could even have surgery. Yeah,
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: so it's even more delayed than the already delay of
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: having that surgery lay going into next season. So you're
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: talking about his inflammation is not down. I can remember
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: a full medical prognosis, but I can't remember the word purty.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Is he following along? Here? Heard it's been along Trey Lance,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: who knows what's going on. So excellent place for him
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: to go because he will probably get to play some
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: sort and if they need somebody to kind of be
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: a stop gap for one of those two guys. I
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if they're gonna do with that quarterback situation though.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Let's just take everybody being heard out of it. Party,
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: who's probably not gonna be one hundred percent when the
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: season starts, which sucks for him, but Party and Trey
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Lance will say they're both completely healthy. What would you do?
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: You gotta go with Lance? I just think so too.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: What do you go? Three? Five? Three? I believe they
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: moved up. I feel like three two, but I wouldn't
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: wouldn't bet my house on it. But yeah, I think
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: you have to go with Lance, even though Party played
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: so well for so long, and Party will be an
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: extremely attractive trade bait. Oh yeah, you have a lot
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: of teams that probably trade for him. Where do you
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: go it? Move up? Where would you go? You've heard
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: us give our answers, now Tampa Bay to to start?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: You think you're starting to start for Tampa Bay. Yes,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: fill in for Tom's shoes. You got a lot of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: weapons over there. You think they're gonna do you think
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: they would start? Man, I don't know. You're asking me
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: to pick I go Tampa. Yeah, but you also are
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: picking based on reality. They need someone over there. Matt
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Ryan's the dude. Let's give it a shot. You think
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: they would have him coming as the starting quarterback? Yeah? Well,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I mean who else are gonna think get free agent
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: market draft quarterback? Ye? Trade up bears are gonna trade
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the number one pick. I don't see how. They don't
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: see how and why they wouldn't. Obviously they like old
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: dudes that were really good back in the day. The
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: quarterback two in Tampa now, is that the the Florida
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: back up? He played at Florida? Yeah, Trusk and so
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: I was listening to them talk about him. They're like, yeah, Truscar, guys,
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: we're ready for I think they were just saying that
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: until they can get one. I mean, where's the Garoppolo
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: gonna go? People forget about Garoppolo. I mean he got hurt,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: but he's fine, he'll be good. Well, quarterbacks are all
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: just like something wrong with them if you played quarterback,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: if you're still on the team, if you were on
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: the team. Everybody got hurt last year. But I thought
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: that Matt Ryan question was interesting because what would you
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: do go to a bad team and be a starter,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: or go to a really good team and have a
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: chance to extend your career be an awesome backup? I
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: win a championship. Yeah, you gotta get that ring? Is
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: that what they want? They just want that ring at
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: that age. I guess he was so close to that ring.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: When Brady comes back and beats him. I mean, it's
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that's the that's the worst. Is it the worst? Come
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Super Bowl come back? Oh yeah, pretty bad, man. I
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: think it was the best, But yeah the worst. Kept
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: showing the owner is like he'd go down to the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: field like, yeah, we got this. What did you guys
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: see any baseball pitch clock stuff? Um? I did see it,
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but I've I've seen that in the minors here like
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and I loved it as far as just being a
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: like a spectator on it. I love the fifteen second clock.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: Explain because I saw a game ended because of a
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: pitch clock, and I watched a few and they listen
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into a bunch of freaking spring training. Yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: let's not do that. No, I mean, even just me personally,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I had too much like college basketball going on. I
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: was trying to make out my wife is a whole
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: Thing's a lot of effort right there. Kevin explained the
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: new rule. So between batters, they have thirty seconds from
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: when the pitcher gets the ball, battery needs to come
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: in to get the pitch off, and then between pitches,
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: if the basses are empty, you have twenty seconds. If
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: there's a runner on you have fifteen or fifteen seconds
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: with basses empty, twenty with the runner on base, and
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the pitcher must start his motion before the clock stops.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: The batter must get in before the eighth second mark.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: If he's not in ready to go at the eight
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: second mark, then he gets to strike. The pitcher will
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: get a ball called on them, and we saw it
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: happening in the Red Sox Braves game the other day.
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Old people hate this because it's so not what baseball
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: is about. But if baseball is going to survive, we
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: got to kill all the old people. Wow. Really, baseball
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: is my favorite sport. It's the best at it played
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: the most of it watched. I mean, if the cut
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: pat one hundred and sixty two games, I probably watched
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty of them. It's almost unwatchable a
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: whole game. It's almost like something that's just on that
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: you check back in on, unless it's the playoffs of
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: the World Series and they gotta do stuff like this.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And yes, it doesn't look like baseball. There's a big
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: shot clock, But think about every other major sport football,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: play clock, basketball, shot clock. Why does baseball have the
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: liberty to freaking just hold onto the ball and make
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: us sit there three and a half hours watching a game. So, yes,
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like what is traditionally that baseball feeling
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: like we're here day at park. If you can't do
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: that anymore, attention spans are much shorter. So I'm a
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: big advocate of it. And I think if the clock
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: runs out, you should just hit the batter. That'd be cool. Yeah.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I saw a video on Twitter today, actually they had
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: they put up a video of Jose l two hit
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: in the inside the park home run and a pitcher
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: in the twenty sixteen n LDS between pitches. Jose ran
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: seven inside the park home runs before the next pitch.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: That means wow, yeah, seven. They showed how long it
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: would have been before the next pitch, and they used
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: his inside the park home runs as the metric that
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: it took seven of them seven. It's baseball has just
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: gotten too boring because it's like, all right, here we
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: go pitch them. Well, nothing happened, because most pitches nothing happens,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: and it takes a long time in between nothing happening.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: So when there's a long time in between nothing happening,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: people are gonna get bored. It's very rare. You here,
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen year old ago, like I love baseball,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: I don't want to play baseball. Baseball is the coolest
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: thing that doesn't happen anymore because it's not because the
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: traditionalists have made the game so freaking boring, like I
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: would say made it. They've held it so boring. Look
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: at basketball, they've short in the shot clock, they put
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: up at three point line. I mean, you can go
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: through all the different generations and iterations and they've made
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: mistakes at times, they've made it better or other, but
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: they're constantly trying to evolve in making the game more
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: fun to watch. For the consumer baseball does didn't do that.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: They're not doing that because you have traditionalists going, this
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: is not how baseball should have been. Cand you imagine
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: we're still playing in freaking leather helmets with no face mask, going, no,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: it's same football. I guess you're just a puss. No.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: The field goal right in the middle of the end zone. Yeah,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: people dying running a slant. Yes, So I know a
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: lot of people are upset. I was reading it online,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: like people upset about the clock? What about pictures? What
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: do they think about it? Because it's just new for everybody,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: so everybody kind of hates it. Yeah, because I mean
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: with pictures, it's so much tempo, you know, like I
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: slow down, take that breath. Imagine me a Disney World
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: than pitch. You know, we talked about culture and how
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: you don't have it on your basketball team and that's
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: why you lost. I mean, it's a baseball and their
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: day to day. As a culture, they go on their
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: own schedule, They go slower as fast as they want
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: this picture. They can't do that anymore. It's gonna almost
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: now be a forced new culture that people have to
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: adapt to, which is great. There's about four things I
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: would do with baseball. I agree with you. There would
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: be I would do football and baseball, and there would
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: be computerized MP assistance with lasers. Yeah right, Why are
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: we not there? And why do we pick and choose
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: what technology we use and don't. We can have ins
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to replay with all the cameras, but I don't want
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: a laser going across tells if they really score. That's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a little bit too much. Now we're already using technology
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: to better what's the difference. And then whatever they do
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: in tennis to make that little thing reenact what happened
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: with that ball is amazing. That's what they need to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: do across the same thing with a strike zone, Let's
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: put a freaking digital strike zone up there. The batter
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: can't see it, but it's there, and the umps just
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: there to I don't know, look good with that big
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: chess plate one called plays that called plays at the play.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: We don't need to have a balls and strikes human
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: because humans error and we have the ability for there
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: to be no error. But traditionals, h that's how it
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: used to be. That's what I was trying to tell
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: my ref am buddy exactly. All right, back to the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Chessing hot Line. Nothing looks like we're at we're out. Okay,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go and here Coleman talk to coach Casey
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Alexander Belmont. What was this about? Coleman. Yeah, I just uh,
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: kind of the same interview that I've done with every coach.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: I just run through their career, take me through the
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: beginning your journey, where all you've been, and then ask
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: them questions about the current team as they approach March Madness.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Every single coach I've interviewed has been incredible. It's been
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: an amazing experience, a dream for me, honestly. But coach
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: Alexander specifically, he was he was awesome. There's no need
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: to edit this part. But we're gonna get work with
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Coleman a little bit here too. So now don't set
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: it up like you know, all of them been the same.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: He'd be like, like, this is what I do. It
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you're saying the same thing, you like, this is what
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: I do. I go in we talk about Coleman's like, yeah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that's the same freaking crop. There's nothing nothing new really
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: the last one. I mean, just me doing the same
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: generic like formula. Man. I wouldn't listen to it. Yeah,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: so I set up horrible but we're learning right, Yes,
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: absolutely so, Coleman, what'd you do with coach Casey Alexander
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: of Belmont? So with coach Alexander, talk with him about
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: his team season. They're really clicking at the right time.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: They just transitioned into the Missouri Valley from the Ohio
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Valley Conference. So a difference, I mean, yeah, in like
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: a competitive play absolutely so the Ohio Valley Conference, it
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: was pretty much just them in Murray State that ran
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: it year after year. Now the Missouri Valley gives them
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: a better chance to get in that large bid. So
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: if they don't win the conference tournament, that's not the
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: case this year, but in the future that's the goal.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Um and Belmont has was expected to not do great
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in that transition, given a tougher level of competition, and
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: they've done exceptionally well. Have a chance to win the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: championship this weekend in Saint Louis. Oh, that'd be cool.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: They're local too. Yeah. Here, Yeah, that's why Coleman's here.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Here's coach Casey Alexander of Belmont was Coleman coach? I
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask you if you played here a great
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: player here when Belmont was back in then AIA. What's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: it like to be coaching your former alma mater. Yeah, well,
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: first of all, a great player is quite a stretch.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I was not a great player. I was a good
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: player on some great teams. But it is kind of
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it's pretty amazing how I got works in
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: my opinion. You know, here I am almost thirty years later,
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I guess thirty years later as the head coach. I
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: was an assistant coach for sixteen years after I played,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: and then I left for eight years. So to be
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: back now as the head coach, this in our fourth season,
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: that's been awesome. To take it even further back, you
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: get your first head coaching job at Stetson? What was
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: that like sixteen years as an assistant if I've got
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: that right, What was that like getting your first head
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: coaching job at the visual ranks? Well, it was a signing,
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: but it was also a challenge. You know, Belmont is
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: all that I knew. I mean, I had played for
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: coach Byrd and that's the only person I've ever worked for,
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: So I had very little experience side of my Belmont experience,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: which thankfully was good, and then our teams were good.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: So at least I have that in my back pocket.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: But you know, you go to a new state, you
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: move your family, and you take on a new challenge,
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: and you know, largely I assumed it would be the same,
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: just different, but it was really just different. There there
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: were a lot of challenges that you know that we
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: encountered those first couple of years. I grew up a
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: lot as a coach, as a person, as a man,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and so, um, even though it had some challenges, I mean,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: it was probably the most you know, the most influential
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: two years of my life that I wouldn't trade for anything.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: What was it like that transition? You stay in the
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: same conference but then come back to your original college
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: city being the head coach at Lipscombe. Yeah, well, and
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Belmont was in the same league when I went to Stetson,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: so I was as Belmont and Stetson then Lipscombe, all
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: three of those teams in the A Sun, which is
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: pretty unusual. Uh, you know, and when I left on,
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I never thought that I would be returning to Nashville
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: to coach. I mean, it just doesn't work that way
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: very often. Um, So I was very fortunate to be
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: at a place in Lipscomb that I knew very well.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: I knew a lot of people there. I grew up
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: with a lot of people that were at Lipscomb very
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: familiar for obvious reasons, and so that part was really seamless,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, the job was still the job,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: and I had a new team with new players and
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: a lot to cover them. But it was really a
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: great time for me, an exciting time and a great
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: six years. I loved my time at liscoom. Take me
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: through the emotions of winning a conference tournament championship and
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: you punch your first ever bid to the NCAA Tournament
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen. What was that like? Yeah, well it
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: was the first for Lipscomb at the time, you know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: and it was it was done in an impressive fashion.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: We go to Florida Gulf Coast. It was phenomenal that year,
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: and we had we were almost almost thirty points at halftime,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: so it was we surprised a lot of people. We
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: had to hang on by the skin of our teeth
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: to survive the game. But you know, it was awesome
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: to see those kids get that experience. I mean, that's
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: ultimately in college basketball and had is the pinnacle and
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: what everybody wants to do is play in the nc
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Double A Tournament. And so it was a really rewarding
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: experience for those guys, a great opportunity for Lipschoom and
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: of a you know, a memory you will certainly never forget. Conversely,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: taking me through the lows of losing in that conference
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: tournament final to Liberty in twenty nineteen, but then somehow
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: getting your guys to rally win fourth straight and get
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: to the finals for a chance to play to win
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: an n it T championship in medicine. Yeah, really the
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: lowest of lows and the highest of highs. I mean,
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: you know we uh that twenty nineteen was a team
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: was better than the twenty eight team that went to uh,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: you know, they went to the NCAA Tournament. So, you know,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: to lose in that championship game, I can't I don't
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: know if it's overtime or not, but I know it
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: was down to the wire and uh and and to
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: a really good Liberty team. We were all pretty devastated,
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: you know that we didn't get over the hump and
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: go back to back and so you know, the next
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: best option was the n I T. And you know,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: and and truthfully, nobody's ever excited about playing in ANT
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: because it means you not an inca tournament. But we
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: went our first game at Davidson, who's a private program,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: and uh, and then we kind of go on from there. Uh,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: you know, beat NSE State at Ansey State for the
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: chance to go to New York City. And then we
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: went our first game in New York City. It's which
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to State lose to Texas in the finals. And so
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: to think about thousands upon thousands of Lipscomb people at
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: the time in New York SI, in New York City
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: is celebrating their team, you know, on national TV, which
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: at that time, you know, you had the final four
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: teams that were left in those final two in the
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: n i T. So we were playing pretty late into
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: the season, which awesome. Yeah, that's neat. What about in
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, your first year coaching at Belmont again your
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: alma mater, You win the conference tournament by one point
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: and then a week later have your season canceled due
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: to COVID. Take me through those emotions. Yeah, another crazy year,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: you know, and we didn't get off to the start
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: that season that we wanted to. I think at one
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: point maybe we were six and four in the conference,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and then we won our next ten to win the
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: regular season outright, And then and then we have the
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: virtual buzzer Beater game and the championship against our arrival
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Murray State to go to the nc DOUABA tournament. And
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: so I'm a real storybook ending right there. And you know,
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: we can remember being at that tournament talking about COVID,
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: not knowing what COVID was, and you know, and really
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: down playing it like, oh, well, I mean that's kind
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: of crazy, but I never know what's going to happen.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And then you know, that was a Saturday. We took Sunday, Monday,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: and Tuesday off, came back on Wednesday, and that's today
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: the NBA shut down and the next day was the
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: day the nc DOUABA tournament was canceled. And so it
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: was devastating for our players. But we're really grateful that
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: we had the experience of our conference tournament, the championship
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: game that we won, and we knew we had earned
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: our way into the NC DOUABA Tournament. A lot of
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: leagues and conferences out there didn't get that opportunity, so
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: absolutely glad that we did. Absolutely great, great way to
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: look at it. Transitioning into the present year, what was
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: it like, you know, going from Ohio Valley Conference, which
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: was pretty much a two horse race you'd have the
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: occasional third team of more headed Austin p to then
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: transitioning to a big time step up, a big time
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: mid major in the Missouri Valley. What were your expectations
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: in that transition? Well, there were a lot of unknowns.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: You know, we lose five fifth year seniors and you know,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: small conference guys and you know, all time record holders,
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: so the time diving was bad. And then we lose
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: two out of our three returning players to transfer, which
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: was a very unusual scenario for US, so seven out
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: of our top eight from last year gone. And the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: decision to move to the Missouri Valley, although we talked
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: about it and I knew that it was possible, you know,
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: it was really a situation where it's like, hey, bang,
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: you're in the Missouri Valley. You know, there's no preparation
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: for it. So we took what we had and where
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: we were, and you know, and all of a sudden,
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: we're in the Missouri Valley, which is a much deeper conference,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: a much more competitive conference from top to bottom, and
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: so there was a lot of questions, you know, But
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: here we are, you know, several months later, and on
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: one hand, we've at least survived. Absolutely, we thrived at times,
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: you know, we were we were in or tied for
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: first place for the better part of the conference season.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: We haven't finished like we wanted to, but it's been
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: an awesome experience. You know, We've got a long way
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: to go. We've got to continue to get better to
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: be as successful in the Missouri Valley as we were
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: in the obec or in the a Sun. But Bellmont
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: gives us a great opportunity to do that. We've got
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: everything we need here to win games to end the
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: right way. How critical a role has been Shepherd played
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: being the only guy returning the average more than three
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: points a game last year, in helping develop the newcomers
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: and establish what we do here at Belmont and your
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: culture year identity. Yeah, we have to have been a
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: lot of credit for any success that this team has had.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: You know, he had plenty of opportunities to go elsewhere.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: There were a lot of people calling unfortunately illegally, but
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: he chose to stay because none might have given him
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: a great experience, and he knew that this was a
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: great place for him to finish out of his career.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: So in hindsight, it's really awesome to see him kind
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: of reap the benefits that he wanted. You know, he
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to be an All conference player, he wanted to
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: be talked about as a Conference Player of the Year candidate,
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: and he's certainly accomplished those things and we've got some
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: team goals still out there for us. But but Ben's
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: been awesome from beginning to end. I mean, he has
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: been very consistent, the model of consistency, efficient a leader,
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: and really has just performed at a high level and
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: continue us to get better. That's the best part about
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Ben is from day one on campus until tonight, Senior
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: nineties continues to get better and the best is yet
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: to come. Despite all that you lost from transitioning from
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: last season into this year, you guys still just two
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: games back of first place through eighteen games in the
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Missouri Valley. What type of confidence does having swept a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: team like a Bradley Who's type first in the standings
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: give you a team going into Arch Madness Day. Yeah,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I think that that's I told you we
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: had a lot of questions. You know, I've answered questions,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: but a lot of those have now been answered. You know,
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: we would much prefer to be regular season champions and
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: going in as the number one seed. But I do
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: think that our team knows it can be anybody in
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: the tournament, you know, and we'll have to play well.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: It's an unbelievable three or four days, you know, and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: you can't go in there and just win the accident.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: But at least we know we can play with the
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: best teams in this league. And you know, that gives
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: yourself a chance, which is really all you need when
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: you're doing X. Well, you've got a chance to punch
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: your bid to go to the NCAA tournament. What is that? Yeah,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: score scoring the ball and you've got from the three
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: point line. I mean that's kind of who we've always been,
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: you know. And I hate to minimize how important I
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: think the rest of the game is, or how effective
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: I think we are at the rest of the game.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: I think we're good enough defensively. I think we've got
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: the right mentality for all things but we are always
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: at our best when we are playing really well offensively.
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: It's fun to watch, it's fun to play, and shots
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: are typically going in. I've got two more questions for you, coach.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: Two of your four leading scores being freshmen. How impressed
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: have you been, I guess by the maturity level? And
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: then how much does that excite you for your program
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: building going forward in the future years. Yeah, Jacoby gillest
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Be and Kay Tyson since day one. You know, you
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: always have high expectations for your freshman when they come in.
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: You don't sign them unless you think they're going to
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: be really good, you know. But it doesn't work out
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: that way for everybody, and certainly not at an immediate level.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: But both of those guys, to Jacoby had some things
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: thrust upon him because our starting point guard Kishan Davidson
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: was out the first six games, so he was accelerated
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: into the mix, probably more than you would have been.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: But he took the bull bottle horns and he's been great,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: you know, from start to finish and has never really
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: looked like a freshman out there. And then Kay Tyson,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: who is um guys. The guy came in the first
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: week in the summer as a true freshman, and you
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: could tell how serious he was about the game, how
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: important it is, how competitive he is, just how much
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: it matters. And I've said several times he has earned
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: his success, and that's something to be said for anybody.
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. That's awesome. Last question, coach, as someone that's
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: been a head coach in three different leagues, how do
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: you like the conference tournament set up to a son?
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Does the home court advantage for the higher seeds? OBC,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: you've got a double by situation Missouri Valley pretty much standard.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: How the standings are. Yeah, it's um, you know, I
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: think it's all relevant to where you are. You know,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: I think everybody would prefer a neutral site tournament with
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of fanfare and excitement is the truest way
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: probably that you know, to make it fair. That's what
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: you're looking for. But but all conferences can't really pull
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: that off. You know, the ASUN is so widespread a
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: a neutral sight tournament in that league makes it really
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: tough to have the environment that the kids deserve, especially
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: in the championship level game. And so I think the
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: way that they do it is very appropriate, and I
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: think the very value. I mean, it's tournaments been thirty
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: something years running in Saint Louis and and gets great
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: fan participation and schools across this league or you know,
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: pour into Saint Louis for that tournament. So it'll be
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: it'll be the experience that our guys need. Ultimately, you
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: want the players to have a great experience, and so
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: whatever gives them the best chance is the way you go. Absolutely,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: thank you so much Coach Alexander for your time. Wishing
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: you and the Bruins best of luck the rest of
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: the way. You bet, thank you all right, thanks to
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: coach Bears. Bruins they are they are bearers. Yeah, they're
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: just bruining bears like UCLA. I guess I've just seen
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: a bear on the billboards. Yeah. Any they have a chance,
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah they do. The top six teams could all win
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: in the Missouri Valley. Okay, let's say if they win
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: the Missouri Valley, what would they go in as a twelve?
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: Probably thirteen, fourteen and thirteen probably who's one of these
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: teams you've seen that will go on as a twelve thirteen?
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: But you know, if they win their tournament and they
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: get in, they're going to be undervalue, but they have
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: size athleticism. Like, who is that team that we're passing
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: over right now because of their name? There's several for me,
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: but the most the team that I've seen that i'd
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: pick that at description the most is Marshall. Marshall has
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: NBA talent on the court in Tavion Kinsey. Andy Taylor
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: is another. They have two guards that average over twenty
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: points a game. It's a terrific duo and offensively they
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: can absolutely click and just outscore even in Power six
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: team And no chance they get in if they don't
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: win the tournament, right correct? Any of these any of
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: these schals from these majors, can any of them get
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: in if they don't win the tournament. The only one
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: that I've seen that has a chance, and it's an
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: outside shot, is Charleston out of the Colonial Conference. They
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: had a great non conference year. I think only three
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: losses on the season. But yeah, screw Memphis anything. I
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: just want to screw Memphis. Memphis will be able to
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: get in UM if they lose, and then Houston as well.
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: Screw Memphis, Houston obviously. Yeah, Okay, nice shot there, there's Coleman.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: You can give you give out your name sharp shots
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: select on TikTok and Twitter. That's where you can follow
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: me and I post all my content of these games,
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: I mean for the next two weeks. Shot select Why
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: is that your name? Originally it was a bracketology and
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: gambling picks Twitter and I like a literation. I thought
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: it sounded good when I was a junior in college.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: You can change it, yeah, I guess I can now.
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, now I'll be the time to you know't
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: have to. But it's like I'm always looking on like
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: at cool Am, oh man, there's nobody there. I think
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: it's like Shooter boy. It just I don't know, man,
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: It's like he needed all three to match, right who
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: you know, like Coleman's sack. I don't know if I'm kidding, yeah,
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: but it's like sharp, I don't know, I don't know.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: We gotta we need like a makeover with Coleman. Yeah,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: make um Okay, So a couple things day went off
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: for seventy one. They were dumping stuff on him after
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: the game last night. Is pretty cool. Seventy one points.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's also pass. That's also someone
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: who's then the team starts to work together to make
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: sure he can break seventy. Like there was a point
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: in the game where it was, all right, we're about
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: to get him. First of all, it was gonna be sixty,
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: and then like, let's get him seventy. So number eight
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: all time ties Donovan Mitchell for the most points in
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: the game this season when Donov Mitchell in Cleveland went
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: for I mean the fact that they're calling for seventy
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: one points. Imagine if it took the shot clock to
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: like fifteen, the amount of points we'd see in the NBA. Yeah, hey,
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: baseball is doing it. Why can't they follow along? Yeah, yeah,
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: let's speed it up a little bit. Lillard went thirteen
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: for twenty two from three. Think about that, thirteen for
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: twenty six would be fifty percent. He went thirteen for
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: twenty two, so that's pretty awesome. The Blazer are still
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: eleventh in the West, so you gotta be tenth to
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: get one of the play in spots. So but I
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: was looking at the West, like the Lakers. By the way,
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: there's like three or four teens. I think the Lakers
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: like thirteen and a half out overall right now, but
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: maybe like eleven and that they're close. There's like four
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: or five teams the Lakers like three games out of
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: like the sixth spot, which is crazy, and Lebron's like,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna play. These next set of games are most
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: important in my career. I saw eighty hit that clutch
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: shot at the end to win the game. Lebron is
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: limping out of after the game hurt, So I don't
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: know what that means as of right now. He heard
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: a pop, is what he was saying when he went down.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: That's not good, right. He's also him and Matt Ryan.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: You know, well, I watched like the first, you know,
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: quarter of the game, and I thought like, hey, you know,
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: like Kyrie and Luca are playing pretty well together, like
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: they weren't a lot of ball hobble. And then I
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: just couldn't go back and check the score. I'm like, what, Yeah,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: they blew up crazy? Uh. In basketball Over the weekend,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Houston one Alabama beat Arkansas by three. But it's tough.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: We're starting to click and be pretty good. Yeah, man,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: we got Nick Smith back. We're gonna go into the
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: tournament hopefully as like a seven, eight, nine, ten. And
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: it isn't gonna be fun for whomever gets even if
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: we lose, you want that team to be bad, and
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: we're not going to be that bad. So it was good.
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: They're gonna We're gonna play Tennessee on Tuesday, Arkansas, and
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: then I'm gonna try to go to the Kentucky game Saturday. Nice. Nice,
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. If you want to go Saturday, I think, so,
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: let me let me make the call, let me well, yeah,
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: i'll but you know how it works. I gotta wait
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: for the right time, I know, but not even officially.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can go ahead and see, okay, and then
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: if we go, we've you're already sit in place. Love it? Okay? Um,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Kansas beat West Virginia, but West Virginia played pretty well.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: They went back and forth the whole game. Kansa only
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: won by two. UCLA Bea Colorado. Finally saw my first
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: UCLA game. You did. Yeah, they only scored sixty points.
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: They really didn't play it that well, honestly. Yeah. Again,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch. I was flipping and I watched like
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: three minutes of that game straight, and I don't think
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: it was like baseball watching baseball. There's nothing happening. Uh,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: let's see Indiana beat Perdue with good win for Indiana,
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: there was a no oh the North Carolina win. Who
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: was shocked by that they had? Yeah, they'd be in
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: Virginia seventy one sixty three. I couldn't believe they won period.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: But North Carolina led early and then just pretty much
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: it was like what they call a horse winning They
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: what do they say? They won it going away? They
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: won the race going away. They start in the lead
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: and they just go and they just kind of have
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: it the whole time. And for a North Carolina team
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: that's been terrible, yeah, to beat in Virginia. One of
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Virginia was coming off a bad loss too, like against
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: Boston College. A yes, so like they're falling apart. There
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: are some eight to eleven eleven seeds that are going
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: to be very dangerous just because of their talent. They've
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: been so inconsistent, but they have the talent to make
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: a deep run. We watched North Carolina do it last year.
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: They could do it again. Arkansas, Kentucky and this Kentucky
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: starting to play really well too. Now this is a
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: year with no dominant team. I could see it being
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: like twenty fourteen. That was a year Kentucky made it
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: to the national title title game. I want to say,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: is an eight seed? I mean, something like that could
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: happen with in Arkansas. Kentucky. Please keep saying I'm so
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: home or in bias, but yeah, Kentucky started to play
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: really good, and I hate that because they are so long,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: they're so athletic, they can shoot the ball. It's dangerous. Well,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Oscar hasn't played that well this year. No, he hasn't,
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: but he's still but yeah, dominating. There are certain games
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: where he puts up like twenty in twenty yeah, and
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh crap. But then there's there are games
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: where after the game counts like yeah, we should have
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: played Oscar a little less and like you just said that.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I hate the Kentucky's getting go. We beat
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: them bad in their home and they're gonna that's next Saturday,
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: so we're playing in Arkansas. I wish they were sucked
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: a little more. Right now, I'm being honest. I ever
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: getting Tennessee at the right time, though there's no such
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: right Listen. I went to Knoxville last year to watch
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: us play them in Knoxville, which is what we're doing again.
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: That's a tough place to play. Never been to a
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: basketball game there when they were good. Yeah, it was
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: a tough place. What a brutal close to you all season?
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Alabama can Kentucky, Tennessee. Yeah, it's it's pretty tough. But
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: let's go. We're ready. We're SEC tournament next week. I
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: got two tickets every SE tournament game. I gave them
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: away except for the Arkansas wins. So hopefully we don't
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: have to play on Thursday. We play Friday, Saturday. Hopefully
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: that Sunday, because you gave the other games away, like
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: same Sea, I just didn't want them. I had tickets
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: in a box, got it, and then I was like, ah,
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: but I think I'm gonna go sit with the team,
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and it's not when you sit behind with the coaches
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: and the families, you don't have tickets for the whole
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: day like some of those are tickets are. Yeah, we
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: didn't know more sessions. Didn't know that, so we said
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: I'll sit there. But those are only for one game
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: because I got to get the other coach's family and
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the close people in That makes sense. Yeah, I didn't
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: know that when we went last year. We went the
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: game before and we were sitting down like, you guys
• 58:22
  Speaker 1: are in our seats like, We're like, no, we're here.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: We gotta get out the third row and they're like no, no, no,
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: they're like no, oh yeah, They're like, oh, you must
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: be like part of the team. It's not how it works.
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: This is the only section that turn over every game
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: because we have to bring in the close the family
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: and stuff. We were like, oh that makes sense and
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: they got out. Was that ref who refut that? A
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: couple of final things, The Bears have been approached by
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: a bunch of teams this morning. It was tweeted and
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: chefters want to put it out read to you. The
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: Bears have been approached but multiple teams about trading the
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Air drafts number one overall pick. Chicago's also said to
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: be leaning toward moving the pick. The number one pick
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: is for sale. Yeah, duh um, the Bears. I don't
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: trade fields. I don't trade for what. What are you
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: gonna do for a pick? For what other quarterback you're
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: gonna trade? They're gonna franchise tag Lamar if he doesn't
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: want to sign, they're gonna tag him. There's nothing, there's
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: nothing to trade him for. What would they trade him for?
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: A pick Bryce, c J. Stroud. It's crazy how good
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: this year and how bad they were. Everybody, who do
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: you trade him for? You have three? No, I'm saying
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: he's not the issue. Oh no, yeah, I know, but
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I'm but even the fact that people are talking about
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: it any all these quarterbacks are so unpredictable in what
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: they're going to do next level. I mean, even look
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: at Trevor Lawrence. He went to a bad situation in
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville and looked terrible. People are like, well, Trevor Lawrence, bust.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: How many of these awesome quarterbacks go to bad programs
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: and situation It's just like, well, they never worked out,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: but it was only because well Tim Couch had the
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: worst Brown's organization in the NFL. I mean it was
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: just it's all based on where you are as well.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: So they're not gonna I just don't see him trading
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: just the fields, and I would trade down to yeah,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: trade the one, get a Bulka picks, get up yeah yeah,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: and then you can even use that next year. If
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: you don't feel good about Justin Stield, I can move
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: up for Caleb Williams or Drake may or something like that. Yeah,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. I'd be in on that. Cayleb Williams, I
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: would be in on he's legit. I don't like him, yeah, same,
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: I just didn't like it. Yeah, why don't you Gutska,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: I don't like Oklahoma. That's it? Going with Lincoln to
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 1: the USC Yeah yeah. And and you know Bobby Left,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: I'd go with him, guys, right, you know that. I
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: get it. I get I'm believing, but I'm gonna be
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: upset both of them, absolutely, and I have. And I'm
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: now a cousin fan. I mean, I'm not a nou fan,
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: but I'm like somebody's cousin where I'm like, well, that's
• 1:00:58

• 1:01:12

• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: Courtney Diifel, like congratulations because she's now the winning a
• 1:01:23

• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: it's the head football or the head softball coach at
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma who I think she is one coach gass one
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: like six national championships and all she did was sending

• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: we watched the tournament this weekend and we don't really
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: know a lot about hitting good golf shots, but we
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 1: saw some out there. And I was like, let me
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: see if I could get our guy chessing on the phone.

• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: with some, but like overall I played great. Um, you know,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I finished twenty ninth, which you know, it's hard. Sometimes
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: you look at that and you're like, wow, that's good
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: or not good? What I know? It doesn't sound great,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: But like I feel like things are heading in a
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: really positive direction when you're out because sometimes when I
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: play golf and chess, you're talking to a twelve handicap.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: Sometimes I feel like my arms don't work. I don't
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: know how to work my arms. Do you ever deal it?
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: Do you ever deal with that? As a pro? Absolutely? Absolutely? Yeah.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: I yesterday on hole number eleven, my arms didn't work.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: I hit so I was hitting pitching wedge, which is
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: a club that I like, that's what we hit that
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: club really well ninety five percent of time and my
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: arms just didn't work. Can I hit it in the
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: water and I made double? And doubles aren't good? Do
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: you ever get you ever go on the sand instead
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: of yourself? Oh, this is not gonna be good because
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 1: I do that every time I go on the sand.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I like the sand. I like the sand. Sometimes I
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: get up and I see my lie and then I go, oh,
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: this isn't gonna be good. But most of the time
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: I get in the sand on mind, Okay, I love this.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna let Chess and go. We just want to
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: get him off for the big show here before I
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: wrapped it up, but I asked Chess and I said,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: what's the key? I give me a tip and he
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: goes learned to put better? And I was like yeah.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, I just paid you a thousand dollars
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: for that tip? Did you pay me? Well? Where do
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: you go next? Jessing? I'm heading home this week. I
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: have an off week, and then the week after the Players.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: That's a that's a huge tournament on the PGA Tour,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: kind of considered the fifth major, but it typically has
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: the best field in golf from you know, top to bottoms.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: So um. That's in a couple of weeks in Jacksonville, Florida,
• 1:04:25

• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: twenty six going into Saturday, and he scored twenty eight

  Speaker 1: head kids Champagne. That's pretty awesome. Jessin just said it
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: is okay. I said poopy diaper, Like yeah, I'm gonna say, Dan,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: Chris Rock watch the language poopy diaper. Dan want to say,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: ha ha got it? Okay, Kevin, you might call me
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: an old guy for this, But I was watching the
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: okay See and with the Suns. I can't remember who
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 1: they're playing on Friday, and they're ers were Teal, and
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: I was just wondering these NBA jerseys nowadays they have
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: so many and I don't even know who's playing anymore.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: When I'm watching some of these games, I'm like, Okay,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: this team is like the Sun. Maybe it was the
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: Suns that were Teal, and it was just like, wait,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: since one of the Sun's been Teal. And I know
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: they're trying to sell jerseyes. I get it, but if
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm watching, then I just don't
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: understand it. What I have to do is look down
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: at the bottom where the two teams are in the color,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: because they try to match the colors, Like if it's
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: like PHX and it's rainbow with okay See and it's white,
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: I have to like match there, but colors, I'm not
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: good at them anyway, your color blinds. That's tough. Be
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: honest with you. Yeah, not good at them, but I
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: understand that kind of older Heaven keep from all the collarman.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: My final thought is to thank you to you all
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: in your team for all the hookups that you all
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: have given me. I've gotten five interviews with the Vision
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: one coaches over the past about ten days. And then
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: this is now leading into everything I've been building towards.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: The conference tournament play over the next two weeks is
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: everything I've been working towards and will be the team's
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: punching their ticket to the NCAA tournament. And now thanks
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: to you all, I have, you know, access that I
• 1:07:08

• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: change it, might change it. We'll talk about brand them afterwards.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: But um yeah, there will be some days where I'm
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: going to all four games of the quarterfinals for different
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: conference tournaments. There will be others where the conference tournament. Um,

  Speaker 1: I'll be mixing it up but looking forward to it.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: What do you do once basketball season is over because
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: you don't have a job, right, I'll figure it out,

• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: to a couple of the regionals everything, probably before the
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: final four, and try to create an opportunity from that,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: and then after that be back to un Indeed, I

  Speaker 1: I'll be motivated. I'm jealous Manny Machado eleven years, three
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: hundred fifty million bucks. He already had a big deal
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen they signed him ten years, three hundred million,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: but he had a player option for this winner, and
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: so he is signed through twenty thirty four or be
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: forty one years old. Insane. That's just so much money.
• 1:09:02

• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: this is the same thing where like he wasn't diving
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: for balls, right, he's worth it in that the market
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: is eventually going to catch it and they're not gonna
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: have to pay him anymore. Yeah. So do I think
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: he's worth right now? Probably not, but over the investment, yeah, probably.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: That's why you signed him such a long term deal.

  Speaker 1: So in seven years when the market's gone way up,
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: you already got your guy and you got him signed.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: He ain't going nowhere. But that's a lot of money.
