  Speaker 3: Tuesday on the West coast. We'll get you to Wednesday
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: pretty soon here West Coast. But thrilled to be here again,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: mal Ard Militia always fired up. You know, I was
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: very fired up to see team USA win on Tuesday night.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: As we know, I'm the biggest US men's national team
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: fan you will ever run across. Huge fan huge thinking
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: about getting a balligin back mural, So I'm thinking about
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: doing here Lorena. I don't know if it's him scoring
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: the goal on Tuesday night, you know, like a nice
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: little picturesque thing going on there, or is hit the
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Lebron the silencer He hit the Lebron silencer after scoring
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: against the Bosnia and Herzekovina. Who what I would I
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: would describe as the Adam Silver of soccer. I would
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: describe Bosnia and h as I call them, just in
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: case I screw up the pronunciation. I would call Bosnia
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: and h the Adam Silver of the soccer world because
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: they just think about doing things and then they reconsider
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: and they think about it again, and then they consider
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: doing something and they don't do anything. That's Bosnia and
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: H right there, that's their soccer style. Just watching them
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: until Ball again got the red card and was out
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: for the rest of the game. Then Bosnia and H
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: was like, all right, all right, let's let's get things
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: going over here, and they were a little bit more aggressive,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit not crazy aggressive, that'd be too wild.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Right there, we're down to nothing. Let's not let's dot
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: our eyes and cross our teas here, no wild chances.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: We don't want to leave the back door open. Team
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: USA could go up three nothing. We don't want that.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So yeah, Bosni and H not incredibly aggressive, but I
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: don't want to take credit away from Team USA. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: will say this. I can tell right now this segment
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: is going to be a blend of positivity and me
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: just being a hater. It's just gonna be a blend,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I will say. On the hater side, I used to
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: love the song take Me Home Country Roads from John Denver.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It's a fantastic song. It's an outstanding song. Now that
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: it's like the anthem of the US men's national team,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: I pretty much hate this song for the time being.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I'm so sick and tired of this song and everybody
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: singing and oh hey, they even the studios like they're
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: about to sing. Here we go take me home Country Roads,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: let's lay out, and the fans just go crazy.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: And he.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: They sound a little English right there. I don't know
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: if these are Americans singing right there.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: Says World Cup fans sing it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: M okay, good as I can get. Yeah, well that's
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that's pretty good. Pretty good poll by you, Lorena right there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: But uh yeah, so team USA. They beat Bosnia and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Herzegovina two nil, two nils the final tally and uh listen,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: hater comments to the side. I'll get back right to
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: him in a second here, but positivity positive, no, right here.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: They played very well. They deserve credit. They were down
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: a man for a half an hour and they still
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: outscored Bosnia within that portion of the game. So that's
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: that's a really good job. Malik Tillman had a goal,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: free kick, perfect strike, perfect strike. Well done by him
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: and Team USA down a man for extended time, their
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: medal was tested and listen, they answered the call. They
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: did a great job again against Bosnia and h Now,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: all is not lost for the people like me who
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: are rooting against this team, and I'll give you the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: reasons why in short Cliff's Notes style. If you caught
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the program last night, I don't want to give you
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the same stuff regurgitated. I don't do you like that,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Malard Militia. But I will go cliffs notes version for
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: the people that were doing things and not supporting the
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: show last night, so they're not left in the dark,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: left in the cold wondering what is going on right now.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: All is not lost for people like me who are
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: rooting against the US men's national team. They will face
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Belgium in the round of sixteen, and Belgium they pulled
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: out a miracle win on Tuesday. They were down to nothing,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: they scored a goal in the eighty sixth minute, and
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: then they got the equaliza. I love that. As a
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: non soccer guy, do love the equaliza. We need to
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: adopt that in American football. That needs to be a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: thing over here. I do think we just steal it,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: rip it off. That'd be fantastic. A field goal at
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the end of regulation, the equaliza, we're going overtime. I'm
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: all for it. But they tied the game in the
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: eighty ninth minute and then Belgium. That feisty Belgium squad
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: over there. They won on a penalty kick at the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: end of extra time. I thought it was a soft call.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I thought Senegal got screwed. But Belgium moves on. That's
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: who Team USA will face. That will be on Monday
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in the round of sixteen. And Belgium they smacked around
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Team USA on March twenty eighth, not that long ago,
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to the tune of five to two. How about the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: people's outbaw there smacking around. Yeah, Belgium was like Alyssa
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: Thomas and the Team USA was like Caitlin Clark back
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: on March twenty eighth. We'll see if that history repeats
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: itself here on Monday. But look, get some audio in here. Huh,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: let's get a little World Cup on Fox. This was
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: when Balligan got whistled for a red card and he
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: was audio s muchachos out of the game for the
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: last thirty ish minutes or so. Here's how it sounded
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: on Fox TV. See Mark, when when you see the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: still image like this, it's easy to say that's a
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: red card, and I could see why this will potentially
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: be given. But this way, like I've seen them in
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: real time, like this final.
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: Decision is a potential game changing moment.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: The number thirty United States gormite zero four.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be a red card.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: The final this is is red card.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: Wow, he's bewildered and shocked. I do love the explanation
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: where we're like, uh, I'm not sure what and then
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you just hear a red card. We're like, I know
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: what that means. That's this carbe after the explanation was
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: like what the zero six? We were doing division? Here,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: we multiple what do we do right now? But uh, yeah,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: yeah it's uh ball again, got the red card and
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: here's the deal man. It was a garbage call. It was.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: It was one of those deals where it's sort of
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: like a sort of like a loose ball in basketball.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: Probably a bad example, but let's say the ball is
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: in the air and guys are jostling for a position.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: It's essentially what was happening and ball again. It was
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: just an honest mistake and it looked bad. It looked
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: worse in slow motion. You had ball again. His his
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: right cleat just like raked down the side of this board.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Bosnian guy's you know, right legs like dragging down there
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: on his achilles and kind of steps on his foot,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: and so they gave ball again a red card. I
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: just thought it was a mistake. I didn't think there
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: was any intent behind it. And I would say, this, man,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: it's so punitive. What the punishment is if it's borderline,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: if it isn't blatant, like, oh dude, that's clearly way
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: out of bounds right here, Red card city all day.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: If it's borderline, and like, eh, you know, I mean, yeah,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: he kind of steps on his achilles and but he's
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: going for the ball. There's no intent, Like, that's gotta
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: be a yellow card every time, because look at this punishment.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Not only is balligin out for the remainder of that game,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Team USA is down a man that they're playing with
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: ten dudes out there, and while while their opponents playing
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: with eleven. That blows my mind, Like just to take
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a pause from this, Like if you think about American football,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: it's the best example. It's eleven on eleven just like soccer.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Imagine if there was a personal foul on a player
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: on the football field, and it's just like that personal
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: foul number seventy six offense, He's ejected red card by
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: You're just not playing with the left tackle for the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: rest of the game. Like that just blows my mind.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: That's what the the penalty is in soccer. I knew that,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I was aware. I'm not that in the dark about soccer.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: I realize how those rules work. It's just so wild
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: to me that a borderline red card, which I think
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: should have been a yellow card, has that significant of
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: a punishment. And not only that, there's still more Bolligan's
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: out for the next game against Belgium. He can't play
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: against them either. For a borderline that's probably a better
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: yellow card than a red card. He gets the red
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: card and he is out out out. That is crazy
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: to me. I just don't see how any ref reviews
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: that and says yeah, with the punishment being as significant
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: as we know it is for a red card that
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I think it's a red card right that?
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: Man, that's rough. That is a rough, rough break for
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Team USA going forward. Now. I I did get some
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: feedback from last night's show filled in for Big Ben Malor,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: and I laid out my reasons as to why I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: rooting against Team USA. Understandable reasons. I appreciate you saying that, Lorena,
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: because I don't know if you saw this tweet from
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: this unhinged Yahoo but he was name calling and everything
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: over here. Now the reasons Cliff's notes style very very
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: quick and painless.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: Here.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: If you listen to the show last night, God bless you,
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: this will not be painful, be very quick, not regurgitating everything.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: But for the people who didn't listen last night, shame
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: on you. I'm willing to forgive, but I don't want
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: you to be left out in the dark and not
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: knowing why. Why the heck is this guy rooting against us?
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Why would you root against us? Here are my reasons.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Number one, I don't like the manager, this guy, Mauricio
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: boat Chattino. He had a couple of ridiculous theory I
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: did not like. His theory was that US soccer players
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: are complacent because we don't have relegation. That's someone that's
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: used to soccer somewhere else than the US, where they
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: have relegation, and he looks at the US who doesn't
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: have relegation, and he's making more out of that than
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: there is to make. He's like, man, why are these
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: guys seemingly so complacent?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: You don't have relegation. That's why we don't have relegation
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: in anything. Okay, like we don't have NFL teams like
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: ma you know, there's no relegation, So who cares. We
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: went three and fourteen. I got paid, though, it's all good.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: You don't have that. His other theory was American sports reward.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Losing you get a high draft pick and that's it. Okay,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: there is far more negativity if you don't win. I
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: think it's a ridiculous theory. One of my examples is
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Charles Barkley gets reminded all of the time that he
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: never won a championship. Okay, we talked trash non stop.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: If you don't win, and you get one thing in
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: your favor if you if you lose, and that's a
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: high draft picks. I think that's a ridiculous uh theory
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: from him. So I'm not a fan, not a fan
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: of Olden Mauricio and his ridiculous theories and logic over here.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: I've never heard takes worse than that, outside of Caitlin Clark,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: and we'll get to that later in the program. Number two,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: Why I'm rooting against Team USA. I hate the conversation.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I hate the conversation of hey, could could the US
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: win it all? It's like, yeah, yeah, they could. The
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: example I use is I could bump into Blake Lively
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: after the show this morning. You know I could Lorena.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I'm not Knna, but I could. I could. Like, that's
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the conversation we're having with Team USA. They've won their
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: second knockout stage game ever in their history. They have
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: to win four more to win it all, so this idea,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: could they win?
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: I think I think they could. They can't. Okay, that's ridiculous.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: It's just not ready yet. Not ready yet. There's no problem.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: They're building toward that. That's good, but they're not ready yet.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: The other reason I don't want Team USA to win
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: is I don't want to lose any of our best
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: athletes to soccer. I'm not a soccer guy. I'm a
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: football guy. I'm a basketball guy. Call me crazy, but
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I want our best athletes in this country playing football
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: and basketball as opposed to soccer. I want the best
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: athletes in the NFL, in the NBA. I don't want
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the best athletes rocking the US men's national team kit
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: over there and playing soccer. That's just me. So if
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: you look where this is going, I would compare Team
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: USA quickly. I would compare them to a college football team.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: And you might look at this and be like, what
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: just follow me on this one. I would compare the
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: US men's national team to Indiana football. Right think about
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the IU Hoosiers in college football. You'll see a couple
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: of parallels right here. What do Team usay on the
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: men's side and IU football have in common? As aside
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: from these last two years where IU cranked it into gear,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: what they have in common is that neither got the
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: best athletes and they had a long history of losing. Okay,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: that's what both are dealing with. And so if you
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: look at the IU Hoosiers, what happened a couple of
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: years ago. They got a new head coach in Kurt Signetti,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: and they had a really good season. He brought over
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: a bunch of transfers, brought a bunch of his own
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: guys over from the Sun Belt Conference. He's like, come on,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: follow me to IU, and they're like all right, And
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: they didn't get power for offers. They're ticked off at
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the world chip on their shoulder. You don't think we're
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: good enough. You don't think that I should be in
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the power for I'm gonna show you. And they had success.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: They went eleven and two that first year. And what
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: did that do? That gave them a foundation which they
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: could build upon and get even better. And that's exactly
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: what they did. They got a big transfer in Fernando Mendoza.
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Fernando Mendoza was on the phone with Kirby Smart and Georgia.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: He was almost a dog and because I you did
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: well the season prior, He's like, you know what I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna go with this signetti thing over here
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: with IU. He went over to IU. They got some recruits,
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: they got some transfers. They built upon their momentum and
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: boom national championship when undefeated. Unbelievable story. That is similar
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: to me as Team USA men's soccer, where they haven't
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: had the best athletes. We all know that the best
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: athletes in this country play football, basketball. They do not
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: play soccer. That's just everybody knows that. And Team USA
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: has had this long history of losing. You've lost time
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: and time and time again. You're expected to lose. There
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: are not high standards, not high expectations. A lot of
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the players don't believe they're gonna win big, right, that's
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: a big hurdle you gotta get over to start winning,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: change the culture, all of that stuff. I think that
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Team USA is very much like the IU football Hoosiers,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: and so what I don't want to see, And I'm sorry,
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I don't want to see Team USA have this deep run,
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: this long run, capturing the hearts and minds of the nation.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: What WUSA and all this stuff and all these little
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: little guys, right, the boys in this country are gonna
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: be like I want to play SoC I don't want that.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: Call me crazy. I don't want that. You might want
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: it more than life itself, God bless you. I don't.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: I don't. But that leaves us to this. I did
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: hear from someone on X who goes by we are Redskins. Okay,
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: he doesn't like the new name of the Commanders. Not
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: a big fan. I should That's what I should have
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: tweeted back at him. I should have tweeted back at him,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: go Commanders. He wrote it me, You're a total D word. Okay,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: all right, you called me a d right, he says, Uh,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: I don't like the coach of USA Soccer either, But
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: to root against America makes you.
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: A P word.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: He went D word and P word is what this
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: guy went, dogs and cats.
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: That's yeah, crazy right there, unhinged. Unhinged, sir, you need
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: to calm down. Let's let's let's take it on back.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Let's take it on back. Take it down a couple
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: of notches over here. You tell me if this is
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: professional or not. Lorena, this is what I wrote back
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: at him. I wrote, go Belgium, jump in a river?
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Is that acceptable or like it? Okay?
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: Good?
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't curse, you know, just friendly back
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and forth.
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: That was pretty contained.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, good based on and you say you don't know
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: anything about me, Yeah, come on, you know plenty. Listen,
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: just so we're on the same page, all right. I
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: am rooting against the team. I am not rooting against
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: the country. Okay, this out works in my mind. It
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: might not be the same for you. We might have,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: you know, different thoughts. We're on different wavelengths. That's fine.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: If you're watching an NFL game and someone says to you, hey,
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: who are you rooting for? The Cowboys? Are the Eagles?
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: If I say, ah, yeah, I'm for the Eagles in
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: this game. It'd be silly for someone to say to me,
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you hate the Lone Star State, you hate the city
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: of Dallas and Houston and San Antonio, you hate the
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: movie Friday Night, like you hate everything about Texas. I'd
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: be like, I'm just rooting for the Eagles. That's all.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: That's how I feel about this. This is sports. This
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: is not politics. This is sports. I'm rooting against a
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: team for the reasons I just laid out for you.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: So that's not unpatriotic, un American's not on anything. It's
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: for me pro football and pro basketball. I'm not anti USA.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: I'm anti soccer in the USA. That's all. That's where
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I'm coming from. But uh, hey, listen, some people disagree.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Some people disagree to the tune of calling me the
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: D word and the P word. You know, so if
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: you're scoring at home, that guy he got bingo on that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I think that was a crossing boardwalker. So I don't
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: know what he did. Something pretty significant right there, But
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: we are Redskins did not agree with my spiel last night,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: and I'm sure I'm off to a horrible start in
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: his eyes. If he's listening, to this fine program right now.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: And that's fine. That's fine. Reasonable minds can disagree. It's
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: just the unreasonable minds we got a problem with, you know, like,
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: if you're unreasonable, look, man, just tote it down. I
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: don't know what to tell people as far as that goes,

  Speaker 3: you know, like when your mic is hot, should be
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: like you're hot, something like that. But instead she had
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: like a mouthful of I don't know, potato chips or Freedo's.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: What are you?
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: What do you got working on over there?
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Lorena goodness, pita chips and hummus.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: She was like her hot, right? Is that basically what
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: it was.
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: I was wondering if you heard that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Oh I heard it. Yeah, I definitely heard that. Okay,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: did you watch Team USA beat uh beat Bosnia? Over there?
• 25:27
  Speaker 10: No?
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: No, what was going on for you?
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: I don't even know what I did today. I watched
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: a lot of sailor Moon sailor Moon. Oh and I
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: organized beads by color?
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Can you break that down for us? What is?
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: Uh?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: What is what is organizing beads by color?
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: Consist of you know, like color coordinating beads. So let's
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: say you accidentally spilled all your beads into one bowl
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: and so like, are.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: We talking like smaller beads to make?
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know the ones that you you know, the
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: ones that you actually iron and you make little patterns
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: and designs like from like the nineties.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to say on those, huh.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, me and my daughter are making all sorts of
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: stuff with those today.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Wow, you guys are having the time of your life.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: Is arts and crafts in it and stuff. So it
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: was good. But she doesn't like soccer. She doesn't want
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: to put that on the background. I don't know, you know,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: you sound like a.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Robot of yours. Yeah she was. She's like, actually, I'm
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: rooting against team USA. I want the best athletes to
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: play in the NFL and NBA. I always be like Lorraa,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: please give her a high five for me, Please please
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: give her a high five. Yeah, there it is. I
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: like that a virtual high five. Very nice. Okay. I
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: think later in the program, Lorena, you made a ridiculous
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: comment off the air yesterday where you just said, like
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think I even know that much about you.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: I'm like, that's ridiculous. You know plenty of things. But
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: what we need to do we need to build on
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: the foundation we already have. So a little bit later,
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: we're going to do a little getting to know.
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: Oh oh with the no like n oe getting to know?
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Well, I can't. It could be yeah, you could do
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: it like that for sure, but yeah, just kind of
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: rapid fire question. Think of us. We're playing tennis. We're
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: playing tennis with questions, you know, like you know, what's
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: your favorite movie or what's your favorite dessert, what's your
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: fa whatever, you know, We're throwing questions back and forth.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: So we'll do that probably in the third hour sometime.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to that. I got to come up with
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: some good questions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, come up with some
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: good questions and we'll go well volley questions back and forth.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to that, we've got Brandon here in these
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: late night hours producing this fine program. Brandon, what's going on?
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Men? First time we've worked together? How are things. Yeah, No,
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: it's great to be here. It's great, It's great. Yeah,
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: you know, I'm looking forward to the college football season already,
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: but the Cup's happening right now.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: Who's your college football team?
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I know you're a Notre Dame guy, right, I
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: went to USC, so unfortunately in recent memory, i'm a
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: USC football fan. I know they have some bad blood
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: with Notre Dame right now because of the scheduling stuff.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: You guys are scared. Because you guys are scared. Is
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: that why you said at Notre Dame? Because you guys
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: are scared and trying to twist everything to make it
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame swallow? Is that why you're mad at Notredame? Listen?
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: If Notre Dame played Michigan, if they played Ohio State,
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: if they played in the Big Ten or SEC, they
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: wouldn't want to play USSE either.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: You know what, that's not a horrible point. And I've
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: said this, Brandon, just so you know I get it.
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: I get why USC would say, Man, we play in
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten playing Notre Dame, especially right now. Notre
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Dame's good.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and they'd already have difference three other losses. You know,
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: they play Ohio State, Oregon at Indiana, and so you
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: play Notre Dame. Yeah, your schedules the topest, but you'll
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: lose four or five games.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Hey, I totally understand it. You're trying to get into
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: the playoff and that could keep you out if you
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: keep playing Notre Dame. So I get it. I just
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: wish they wouldn't twist it into something it's not like,
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: just own it and be like, dude, we play a
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: tough schedule, man, Like, it's probably not in our best interest.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: If they were just honest with it, i'd respect it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: But I agree like they beat us by the way
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: they would beat us.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: They've beaten us, like I think three of the last
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: four times, right, Caleb was his first year at SC.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: Was the last time we beat him.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember that game. Well, that was at USC,
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: and he had in a nice little touchdown run at
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: the very end. Yeah, that was a really good USC performance.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you're right, Notre Dame's gotten the better of
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: them lately. But hey, listen, man, we'll have fun going
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: back and forth. You have some of the best music
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: in college football. I do love the USC music. It's fantastic.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: The whole fight on stuff. But that's good. We get along, man,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: you're a big ball guy. That's good. Yes, sir, that's good,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: very good. Okay, we'll have some fun this evening. I'm
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: gonna get to the militia here in a second, but
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: let me just touch on this very briefly. We'll expand
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: next hour. But what in the world are these two
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: teams doing. The first team would be the Boston celt
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: The Boston Celtics have traded Jalen Brown to the Sixers,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: and what do they get back in return? Well, they
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: get Paul George, they get two first round picks, they
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: get two second round picks. I'm reading this and I'm like,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: there's gotta be more. There's not more than that. Paul
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: George is six years older than Jalen Brown. So really
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: you're getting old Paul George and two first round picks.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Because who cares about the second round picks? I mean,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: every now and then, there's a diamond in the rough.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: There's a Jalen Brunson, there's a Yokich. But time and
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: time and time again, most of these second round picks
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: are total duds. You'd be very very lucky to find
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: anything of great significance in the second round. That's typically
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: the way it goes down. So I look at this
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: trade and the Celtics get back for Jalen Brown, a
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: guy that has been a two time All NBA player,
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: He's been a Finals MVP, he was a legitimate MVP
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: candidate this past season. They trade him for a guy
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: who's six years older and essentially two first round picks.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: There's gotta be more than that. And not only do
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: they trade him for that very modest haul, they trade
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: him to a team in the same conference, in the
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: same division, and a team that just beat them in
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: the playoffs after coming back from a three to one deficit.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: The Sixers just beat the Celtics, and the Celtics just
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: traded them Jalen Brown. This is unbelievable. I don't know
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: what the Celtics are doing. The NBA world is baffled
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: right now. They're just like, what is this fake news?
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: This is like something from the onion. Seems like satire
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: over here, But that's the real deal what went down.
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: The other thing that we will stretch our legs out
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: on in the near future here is what the Lakers
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: are doing. These sperate Lakers. Holy hell, Man. So they
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: trade for Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz the Lakers.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: They gave up two unprotected first round picks and two
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: first round pick swaps for Walker Kessler. That is a
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: lot to give up. That's more than what the Celtics
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: got for Jalen Brown. The Lakers gave up more for
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: Walker Kessler. Unreal. Walker Kessler also will sign a four year,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty million dollars contract with the Lakers.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Holy hell, Now we do have to find out what
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Brandon Iyuk wide receiver currently with the Niners, has to
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: say about this deal. Brandon, if you will, Oh, white boy,
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: that's right, Yeah, that's right Walker Kessler, big old white
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: dude right there, that's right, going from the Utah Jazz
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: to the Lakers. Now here's the thing. Health is an
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: issue with Walker Kessler. He only played sixty three games
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: over the last two seasons. That is not good. He
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: is a great rim protector, great defender. Not a shooter.
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: This is a fine print. Not not a shooter, Gaz.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: He shoots under twenty seven percent from three. Now that's
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: a little misleading because he doesn't shoot many threes. Hardly
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: ever takes threes. But trying to expand his range a
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: little bit. You know, he flirted with it a lot
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: more two seasons ago. He was banged up pretty much
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: all of last season, only played five games, so that.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: But he's not a shooter. He doesn't shoot from distance.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: He's not one of these guys that has ranged. You
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: think about Kevin Garnett from a well, it's a little
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: dated right now, but KG had range. KG could step
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: out hit jump shots. That's not what Walker Kessler does.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: And for this price tag, you would hope that he could.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: But he doesn't. He only shoots around fifty five percent
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: from the free throw line. That's freaking awful. So the
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: Lakers give up a ton to get Walker Kessler and
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: they have no maneuverability there. A couple other moves will
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: get to next hour. But the Lakers man, they if
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: this team doesn't pop is, if it doesn't gel, if
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: it doesn't hit, they are freaking screwed. There's really nothing
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: they can do to add to the mix of what
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: they have right now. So a lot of people looking
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: sideways at what the Lakers have done. We'll expand, we'll
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: expand next hour. Let me get the militia in here,
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: A bit. Let me go to uh, let me go
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: to Jerome and Charleston see what's on his mind in
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: these late night hours. Jerome, you're on Fox Sports radio.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: What's going on?
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: Brian? You're rooting to gift your own country? How dare you?
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: Brian know? How dare you? The good old USLA, the Red,
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: white and blue, and you love it, work in this
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: country and you make money in this country.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Stop it.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: That's on the Jerome. That's all ridiculous, dude. You're making
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: it way bigger than it is. I'm rooting against the team.
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: This is not rooting against the country. You're making it
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: way more than it actually is. It's silly, It makes
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: no sense.
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: Let me ask you a question. Who is more out
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: of their tree, stephen Ah Smith or Nick Wright? Nick
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: Wright says the all start game would be a lot
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: better to put the black players against the white players.
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: And then stephen Ah Smith says the Lakers can't want
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: a championship because they are three name players. The players
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: you just talked about, they're white. Did you ever hear
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: about live birds? Huh? Has he ever heard about live birds?
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: And then all he do with the shoppings. They can't
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: win because they're white? What kind of cruck is that? Man?
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: What kind of stupid comment is that? Well?
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I will say, Kim, you're telling
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: me though, Jerome, you're not watching black guys versus the
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: white guys at the NBA All Star Weekend. You're not
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: watching that. I'm watching that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: Look on what kind of garbage is that? Man? This guys?
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: What kind of crap is that? What?
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: What is this?
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: What is the sports media turning nuns?
• 36:09
  Speaker 10: Man?
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: What is it like a clan rally or something? What comments?
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Well, it might be the opposite of that. I don't
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: think that's what it is. Jerome would be the be
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: the opposite of that, right, anti clan rally for going
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: with that right there? But yeah, hey, uh we'll get
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: to Steven A. Smith's comments. It's one of those things
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: where look, if it was said and reverse, it wouldn't
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: be taken kindly. But as I don't know, as how
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: can I say this as h non politically correct as
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: it is, it might be correct.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: It might.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: Might actually be on point.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: If it's gonna say it, it's step A.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, But that's the thing, like Jerome's making this bigger
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: than it is, Like Stephen A. Smith didn't say something inaccurate.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: He didn't say no team featuring. I don't believe he
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: did no team featuring. He'd be wrong. He knows basketball
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: too well to say something like this, No team featuring
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: prominent white players has ever won an NBA championship. Actually
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: be wrong with what the Celtics have done to Jerome's point,
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: like Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Danny Ainge played a significant
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: role there, That'd be actually wrong. He's not saying that,
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: he's saying this iteration. I'll what play is comments and
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: hear what he said exactly pretty soon. Here, let me
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: work in one more real fast. We got Poppy in
• 37:36
