  Speaker 1: This hour from Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: And that is where the welcoming party greeted the big
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: star known as the Greek Freak. He was welcome with
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: open arms there in South Florida. If he saw any
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of this or heard about it, perhaps not never missed
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: an introductory news conversa. These things are like pepperrowis. They
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: are pepper rolli so giannisi dent tokumbo. He had a
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: lot to say, he said, among other things, he joined
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the heat, he said, because he wanted to leave his
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: comfort zone.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: He said, join the.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Heat required leaving his hedes a happy place, he implied,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: happy place there, describing the move at this point in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: his career as a necessary step to keep growing professionally
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: and personally after thirteen seasons in the land of.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: The Cheese Kurds.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: There in Wisconsin, in the Greater Milwaukee area. He emphasized
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that chasing greatness, he said, sometimes means embracing uncertainty. He
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: made it clear that he views the transacchon as a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: challenge rather than simply a change of scenery. Okay, so
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: that is a good jumping off point. Let us discuss
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the question for the panel, the Blue Ribbon Panel. You're
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: part of the Blue Ribbon Panel. Giannis Adenta Coombo says
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: he is leaving his comfort zone and that playing with
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the heat is going to be a challenge. How do
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: you poke holes in this? I poke some holes in this.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I got fork fast and furious and swizzle, and we'll
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to go out and play in those white sandy beaches,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: in the beautiful turquoise waters of South Beach.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. But before we do that,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we always say.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Number one, number one, number one, number one, number one.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Oh what fun?
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Number one? It's number one, Okay, so let's start with this.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: His argument, Gianni Saident to Coombo's.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Argument is like a fishing net.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: All right, there's a lot of holes in a fishing net, right,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: There's a holes in it. And speaking of fishing, you
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: can also do that year round in South Florida without
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: having to dress like an eskimo. Now there is no
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: ice fishing in South Florida, but you can enjoy the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: weather there. This is the classic tired athlete trope. I
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: am challenging myself while picking one of the easiest possible
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: landing spots. Gotta love it, Gotta love it. Now, Yanni's
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: talked about a comfort zone. I talked about the whole
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: comfort zone, leaving his comfort zone. And so he's relocating.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: He got the old U haul and he's relocating from
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: a walk in freezer to a beach front cabana.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Is what he's doing now.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: In February. The average temperature in February in Milwaukee is
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: thirty three degrees, right, thirty three degrees. You know what
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the average temperature in Miami is. Yeah, it's it's thirty five. No,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it's seventy eight. So that is not discomfort. That is
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: a forty five degree improvement. That's the spaw package with
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: the manny and the petty is what that.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Is there, and it sounds pretty comfortable to me.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yanis did not leave Milwaukee. He escaped.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: This has been going on for several years. We have
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: been documenting it audio commentary here every night, and when
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: we've talked about Giannis, there have been these little signs
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: just chipping.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Away, chip chip chip chip chip chip.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Chip chip chip, just like Shawshank redemption. As for the challenge,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: all right, you gotta.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Be a app.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Salute income poop, a sucker to buy this. Oh, it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: a challenge, you know it's a challenge. Oh you at
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: the fork in the road. Okay, at the fork in
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: the road. Yannis picked the path of least resistance, not
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: that the Miami Heat were a heavyweight team, because they
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: were not the only real challenge though in Miami is
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: choosing between the sunscreen SPF levels.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Like, what do you want to do? I don't know.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Thirty five. I should probably go higher
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: than that. Okay, I'll go a little higher than that.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what I'm doing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: He hand picked the quote Heat Culture close quote where
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Eric Spolstra is the ultimate supposed cheat code.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Just to ask him, he'll tell you.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Yannis basically selected a team with built in bumpers and
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: a bowling lane, and the actual challenge would have been
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to stay in Wisconsin.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: That would have been the hard road to take.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: The Bucks won a championship because some guys got hurt
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: and they were able to win.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: That's great. Things are not particularly well. The Bucks went
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: for it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: They got the player that Jannis wanted in Damian Lillard.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: That didn't work out. Snap crackle pop. Now Lillard's back
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: with the Trailblazers and Yannis is.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Kind of hanging, hanging and all that.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And if he had stayed there, that would have been
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the challenge, all right, put the bucks on your back
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and gallop into the winning circle again. Instead, he chose
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: the Wizard of Oz like yellow brick road, skipping along
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the yellow brick road. We're off to see the Wizard.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: We're off to see the Wizard. Pat Riley and friends. Yeah, Ryles,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: all right, now pitched too. As for the wide angle lens,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the wide angle lens.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Okay, so.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: We've got a lot of time for basketball season, so
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll revisit this, But I have a show
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to do today. So this adent to Koombo is expected
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: to form. This is what all the geniuses tell me,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: one of the premier duos in professional basketball with Bam
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: out of Baio, who had the most bogus eighty something point.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Game of all time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Instantly, this is expected to elevate, elevate Miami into the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: championship conversation that they're a heavyweight team now in the
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: East with Giannis and Bam out of Baio, now, let's
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: just assume the position that Lebron does not go to Miami,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: and it's still in play. We're doing the show right now.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: As of right now, Lebron is not with the Heat.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He's not part of the equation, so put him off
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the side. The question, is there any way the dynamic
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: duo of the Greek Creek and Bam Bam do not.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Succeed with the heat.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: So is there any way this does not work? Because
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: you're all telling me, man, this is so good. It's
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: like peanut butter and jelly, the Greek freaking Bam. So
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: is there a way it doesn't succeed? Absolutely right, It's
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: called the multiverse. Now for you casuals, you all think, well,
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: g'annisa dent to Cuombo, big name multi time MVP, Bam
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: out of Bios, got some good fantasy numbers in Miami,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and that front court there is an instant title favorite.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Just add just add some water and it's all rainbows,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: lollipops and just just a tremendous defensive tandem there for
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: the Heat and man, they're loaded, but not so fast,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: my friend, None, no, no, because if this dynamic duo fails,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: it'll be the most predictable plot twist since a Fast
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and Furious movie.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: You feel me on that, like it's a great idea
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: on a tablet.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: You look at the tablet, you're like, well, yeah, lo's
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: good playing a video game, and then you realize the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: tablet and the video game does not have five defenders.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: In the paint.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Everyone's treating Yannis and Bam like this blessed marriage. However,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: it's actually two people who are fighting over the same
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: side of the bed.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: They both like the right side of it. Well, I
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: want I want the right. Well you can't have the right.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I have the right. Well no, I'm honest, I want
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the right. Well no, I'm Bam. I was here first.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: Then pat Riley loves me, he licks my toes, so
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I get to have the right side. Well no, but
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm honest. I've won the MVP woor a couple of times.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: No, no, but I'm I'm the chosen one, I'm the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I'm the favorite son of the Miami Heat. So I'm
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Bam out of Bio and I get the right. But no,
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I'm honest, I want the right.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: So there you go.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: They're fighting over the right side of the bed and
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they're both non shooters who if you look at the
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: way they've played in their careers, they dominate the painted area. Uh,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: neither one a really great outside shooter. And so without
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: elite spacing meeting the players around them on the Heat.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Unless you think Tim Hardaway Junior is going to be
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: the secret sauce there, you figure going in, teams are
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: gonna dare Jannis and Bam to beat them from the outside,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: They're gonna clog, they'll lane And that's what I would do,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: and I'm never wrong about these things, and leave the
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: half court offense looking like toxic bleach and ammonia mixture,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and you get.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: All bogged down there and disheveled.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: If you can't hit the outside shot, you throw in
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Giannis's recent knee boom booze.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: He set some issues there.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: And so this master plan, the blueprint, it's just one
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: cramped lane away from being dysfunction junction.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: What's your function? Final point?
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: So one of the other highlights. And I did not
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: see this live. I woke up watched it on the YouTube.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: So during the Heat's introductory press conference, giannisident to Koombo
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: was welcome.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: We talked about that already. Pat Riley was there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And at one moment, which got a lot of traction,
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: pat Riley, the president of the Miami Heat, praised Bam
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: out of Baio's loyalty joking. He said, quote, I don't
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: want to get kicked out or knocked out, rather knocked out.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I only get knocked out, he said, referring to BAM's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: altercation there with the player that was traded for Giannis
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Tyler Hero, who's currently with the Milwaukee Bucks. The joke
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: was obviously it was interpretated many different ways. It was
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: most said, well, that's a parting shot at Tyler Hero
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and you know Riley doing his thing there who was
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: sent to Wisconsin. And there was that back and forth.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: They got into it in Viva Las Vegas Tyler Hero
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: and bam Adebayo. So the altercation at a practice events
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: stemmed from social media comments criticizing bab Adabio Tyler Hero.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: There was some DMS and some other things that said
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: that he was essentially the teacher's pet, the preferred choice
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: of pat Riley, got preferential treatment and the value the
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: money thing and how they made sure the Heat him around,
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: gave him the contract and some of these other guys
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: they shopped them every year. So that led to a
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: eyeball to eyeball, nose to nose, shoulders shoulder confrontation where
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: bam Adebayo went Bam bam, and I suppose he struck
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a Tyler hero. Now these social media critics Riley actually
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: getting some criticism Ryle's saying that it was not classy,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: so unprofessional to take a cheap shot. Even though he
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: was praising out of Bio, it was perceived as a
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: cheap shot at his former player Tyler hero. Question, was
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: this pat Riley praise of Bam out of Bio a
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: jabb at Tyler heroes?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: A jabb at Tyler hero inappropriate?
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: So two for one again, was it Riley's praising at
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a Bayo which was also a jabb at Tyler hero inappropriate?
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: So let's go to the judges gore cards on this
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: And I wrote down two words. Oh no, that's what
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I wrote down. Oh my god, Riley made a joke.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Pat Riley made a joke. Quick someone called the sensitivity
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: police before the entire NBA collapses under the weight of
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: their feeling. Just like that, right, I just I roll
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: my eyes at this kind of crap because if you
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: honestly think that by pat Riley praising Bam out of
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: bio and taking a bit of a jab at Tyler Hero,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: you think that was inappropriate, Congratulations, you have never been
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: within forty miles of a competitive locker room environment.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: This is a trip to the swizzle in South Beach.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: It's one of the more popular spots it was back
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: in the day there at least a few years ago
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: in South Beach. A vintage pat Riley cocktail, a little spicy,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I see, little performative, absolutely on brand for the Miami
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Heat executive who has been doing this this type of thing,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Ryles for forty plus years. Pat Riley has been doing this.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Riley did not throw shade. He threw a Miami Beach
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: rental umbrella and told everyone to relax, just like that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: The former radio commentator, that's how pat Riley got into
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: all this.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: He was a.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Radio commentator with the late Great chick Her And you
• 17:33

• 23:17
  Speaker 2: If I was any better, I'd be a Lindor, but
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: not a Francisco Lindor. Because it seems like the Mets
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: are now open to trading him. He's got no trade,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: so we'll see if he wants to say goodbye to
• 23:30

• 23:37
  Speaker 5: You know, with mercury retrograde, believe it or not, I
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: remembered that with the Beny Awards, one of your callers
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: said that they were going to make like digital certificates
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: of the awards to the winners.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: And I remember who, Yeah, that was that Femi that
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: said that.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: I think it might have been Femi.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: No, that sounds right, Yeah, I think I mean in
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Minnesota did that? Yeah, I'm not sure if he might
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: have not met that, maybe he changed his mind.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe as possibly he's doing it. I'm
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: not sure. I'm not sure. Now did you consider Andrea
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: like doing an act? Did it?
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Did it cross your mind at all? Or you just
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: wanted to be in the audience?
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I really enjoyed the mal or palooza.
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: And I don't know. You know, my astrology is you know,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: interesting to say the least, but I don't know if
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: it's engaging enough compared to some of the other figures.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: And I like you could have done like a tarot
• 24:34
  Speaker 6: card reading for the listeners.
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: Oh that's a one of a.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Visual thing, isn't it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 6: No, definitely not.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Well, the cards though, you got to pull out the
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: right tarot How are you supposed to pick them?
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: You just tell them which cards you're pulling.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's an option for that's an option for
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: next year. You could do that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think about.

  Speaker 5: You like Corpo.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right, very nice.

  Speaker 6: something like that.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the major Arconnors, Yeah.
• 25:18

• 25:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of that going on. So not

  Speaker 2: much of the Sun, which I think that's joy.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Is that joy? Right? The Sun's the joy one?
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Sun is a very happy card. I have
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: the mother piece to road Deck. I said it was
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: Vicky Noble and it's this round, kind of feminist to
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: road Deck. It's quite interesting.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: They have tarot cards at Disney at Disneyland, and I
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: think I'm going to get real first deck from there.
• 25:51

  Speaker 2: coop breaking news. Your magic Oh I.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Love the Magic Shop. Yeah, I'm old enough.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: They used to used to be much bigger when I
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: was a kid, and then at some point they chopped
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: it down.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: It's half the size it used to be. But I
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: still love it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I always go there Main Street, USA. You got to
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: support the Magic Shop and Loraina. You should know this
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: because it's the most famous thing about the Magic Shop.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Who is the most famous Hollywood star that worked at
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: the Magic Shop at Disneyland.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: Oh oh, oh, my gosh.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: I totally know that.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: He's old now, but he's been a bunch of movies,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: very famous man.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that is correct.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: I believe he lived in Garden Grove, if I'm not mistaken,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: in Orange County and then worked at Disneyland as a
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: young man, and now he's an old man. But that's
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: what happens. If you're lucky, you become an old man, right.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: If you're not lucky, you don't.
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: But yeah, well this is interesting. You know, on the
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: scene of Mercury Retrograde, the Mett's Phillies game, I obviously
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: watched that, and it was the time was changes pushed
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: up an hour because of the smoke. And here we're
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: talking about Scorpio energy and Cisco Lindor is a Scorpio
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: November fourteen, nineteen eighty three.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: So, as you know, the Mets have one of the
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: highest payrolls in MLB and they're also in last place.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: So money doesn't buy you everything, does not buy you
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: a lot of wins apparently.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, what is it forty one and fifty seven dance?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not good, not good.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: No, So like no one's off limits. And Steve Cohen
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: like kind of said as much, but I personally like Lindor.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: You might remember the sage burning that he did to
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: create positive energy and clear out negative energy in the
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: clubhouse and dugout. Do you remember when he did that
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: last year?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it didn't work though, you know.
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: It's no it's for give Rene for effort.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I definitely the effort was there, for sure, the burning,
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the sage and all that. I love stuff like that.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I can't remember the guy. There was a guy on
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals that did that. He went around, walked around
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: the stadium and he what was he?
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: What did he happen? I think it was the same thing.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: I think he had. Uh he's not on the Cardinals anymore.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: But he was burning stage to get rid of the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: negative energy. And Dan Hurley, the coach at Yukon, he's
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: done that.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Dan Hurley has left bags of garlic and he's he's
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: spritched holy water on the court in Connecticut. So he's
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: done all that stuff.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Oh interesting, Yeah, I know you always have a lot
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: of interesting insights, and you know, it'll be interesting to
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: see what happens. You know, when did the trade. It's
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: August second, the.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Trading August third, Yes, right.
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's coming up. So it'll be interesting to see
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: what ends up happening. But he's kind of a fan favorite.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: I'd hate to see him go. But you know, they
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: only but that's.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: The old line goes, they said baseball about this guy
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: named Ralph Kiner.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: We were last place.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: We're in last place with you, we could be in the
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: last place without just so it doesn't know, nothing changed.
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: Four was a scorpio two corner.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Place he was, he was with he was, he
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: was with the Pirates.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: And it's a it's a famous Uh, it's one of
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: the famous baseball stories. And I actually first heard that
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: from Vin Scully and Elaine Vin Scull from Yeah, Ralph
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Kiner hit a bunch of home runs for the Pirates.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: He went in there and he asked for a raise.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: There was no free agency back then. He went into
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: the GM of the Pirates, guy named branch Rickey and said, hey, dude,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: I'd like to raise.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I want some more money.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: And uh, branch Ricky said, I ain't giving you more money,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and Ralph Kine.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: Was like, why don't I get more money?
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I led the league at home runs and then uh,
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: branch Ricky said, where did we finish? Ralph last place?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: He replied and uh and then uh, well we can
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: finish last without you and that was that was that.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: So branch Rickey more famous, I think slightly more famous
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: for the Jackie Robbins and stuff than he is for that.
• 30:03

  Speaker 2: Official FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six Supporter subject to availability.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: So the story was just going on. I got one
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: brother in Appleton, Wisconsin. My other brother lives in New
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: York City, and they both were sending me photos about
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the air and how fed up it is from the
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: fires in Canada and the Canadian wildfires coming down. So
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: it's been a big problem that Andrea mentioned. The Mets
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Phillies game was bumped up because of the weather. Not
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: the weather, the air quality, and it's a big deal.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: This is the biggest event, they claim in the world,
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: the World Cup, and air quality is not particularly great
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: right now. Now, the people of the World Cup, there's
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: not much you can do. If this was in the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Middle East, they just build some giant fans and blow
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: some air and get the Canadian wildfire smoke out.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: They do that.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, they're not going to be able to do that
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: at for the game in Jersey. But the good news
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: is it sounds like the gods of weather are helping
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: out as there is expected to be rain. The air
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: quality in New Jersey is not very good right now,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: it's poor, but rain is expected help clear up the weather.
• 32:20

  Speaker 7: he wants to return to the broadcast booth, but this
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: time as a play by play announcer.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: Shortly after that quote, he was announced that Gruden will
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: handle play by play duties for a preseason game in
• 38:39
  Speaker 7: about a month? Yeah, Ben, how long before Gruden is
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: doing regular season play by play for one of the
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: big networks?
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, so when does he settle his lawsuit against the NFL?
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Does John? Does he get to do it just because
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: he wants to do it? Is that how that works?
• 38:55
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'd like to have a network TV show again?

  Speaker 2: open very often. You think Jim Nantz is gonna walk away. Hello, friends,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: And I don't want to do it anymore. So I'd
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: say the chances of John Gruden getting a network play
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: by play job in the NFL are less than ten percent.
• 39:21

  Speaker 7: not necessarily be following his father to a new team, Ben,
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: what are the odds you give to Bronnie staying with
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: the Lakers.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Well, I would say if he goes to Miami or Cleveland,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: the Lakers will be so happy.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: They will this will make their life. It would be
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: a honkey talk over at the Lakerland there.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: If he goes like Philadelphia or Golden State is much
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: less likely.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: But he's not. He can't play. The kid can't play.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: He sucks. So if you can sucker the Heat or
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: the Calves to take him, why not. The problem is
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: lebron knows his kid can't play, so he'll probably be like,
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I'll leave in La. I don't want to want my
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: team all right.
• 39:59

• 40:11
  Speaker 7: the playoffs because they have the second easiest remaining schedule.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben, do you think they can push for the playoffs?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I would love to say no.
