  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, cool?
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean, you guys, I'm at my desk
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: and you guys just come in and act like I'm
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: not even working here.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I never left, Okay, whatever, So okay, cool, thanks Eddie.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go to the Tittle Tattle. His name ever,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the Ttle Tattle.
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: I've seen two guys lead their team and you'll, Kitchen Butler,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: Who do you think of when you think of the
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: single most memorable playoff run in NBA history?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I probably don't go back like a encyclopedia. I think
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of hardcore NBA fans do, so mine's probably
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: in the past twenty years or so.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Whenever Dirk and.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: The Mavericks won that and nobody expected him to, like
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: he had to carry that load.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: He really had.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: I mean and I think he averaged probably around thirty
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: points a game that whole series, and they did. They
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: weren't expected to win that thing at all. I remember
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the flight with Cuban and the trophy on the plane
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: on the way back, and I was super excited because
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: at that point in my life, that was the Lebron
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: villain season because that was Miami, right, Yeah, that.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Was Lebron Miami. That was I didn't like Lebron.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Lebron was a villain to me then, So remember that
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: because I was rooting so hard for the Mavericks and
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not a Mavericks fan. I just was a Miami
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: hater because they team those three together and it seemed unfair. Now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: everything good eventually turns bad, turns good turns bad. I'm
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the biggest Lebron stand you could possibly be.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: He's like seventy years old. He's still probably better than
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: ninety percent of the league. I think he's better than Jordan.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: If I had to pick one of them again at
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: their rookie year and go, this is the guy is
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: on your team, I'm taking Lebron every single time. I also,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna fight you because I don't care that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: much to be right, But I would take Lebron so
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he's been awesome a villain awesome again, but in that
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: one villain season, I would put Dirk and the Mavericks
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: when they won that title.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: That was a fun one.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I also watched Mark Cuban.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: On SmartLess, the HBO show where they do a documentary
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: on the SmartLess Live tour and Mark Cuban's one of
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the guests. He comes out and because they don't tell
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the other two. There's three of them on the show.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: There's Jason Bateman, there's just Jack Sean Hayes, and then
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: there's Will Arnett. It's these three guys that do a podcast.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: One of them books to guests, the other two don't
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: know who it is. Oh, it's how the podcast works too.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: But on the live show, same thing, and Mark Cuban
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: came out and hung out with them for a while.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: And it's funny that one of the guys only knew
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Mark Cuban from basketball, one of the guys only knew
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Mark Cuban from Shark Tank, and one of the guys
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: just kind of knew him from all But that's also
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: a guy who has become wildly famous from being an executive.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one of the more well known owners for sure.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: I mean he's up there with the Jerry Jones as
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: far as like the basketball compared to the NFL.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: And I just remember him in the plane with the trophy. Yeah,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: with a big cigar. So I'll go Dirk twenty eleven.
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: Next question after his release last week, where do you
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: want to see DeAndre Hopkins go?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Where do I want to see him? God, I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: it'd be hilarious if being back to the Texans. You know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for a minute, that was the thing, like, he may
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: go back, It'll be hilarious. The thing I worry, I
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: guess I don't worry because I don't care enough to worry.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: The thing I wonder about is how much does he
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: how much elite does he still have in the tank,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: because I think he can still be a really good receiver.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I think he can be the number one receiver on
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a team that doesn't have a number one. But I
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: think if he goes somewhe where let's say he goes
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to the Eagles, which there's been some talking to him
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: going to the Eagles. He's not the number one, no,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: so and can he and does he want to embrace
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that role as not the guy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's one of the guys, but he's not
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the guy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: If he goes to a team that's probably a Super
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: Bowl contender, I think he could probably go to the Chiefs, though.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like Mahomes.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I feel like Mahomes like Peyton Manning, like when you
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: have and this is no offense to these guys, but
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: like an Eric Decker, like you could go through some
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: of the Colts wide receivers that never were that good
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: after they left Peyton Manning because there's a lot of
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: those guys.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I feel like Mahomes can do.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: That with wide receivers as well. And I think if
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Hopkins went to the Chiefs, he's better than just a
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: random dude.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: He can make good.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: I think he's a pretty good dude. He can make great.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: I think if he went to the Chiefs, man, they
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: would be he just freaking legit. If can they afford him,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: will he lower his rate? We'll say, to go to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs. How bad does he want to win a
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl? He's ring shopping, right, that's or he's money shopping,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: but probably ring. He's probably ring shopping.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would hope.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: So I don't.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to go to the Bills if it
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: were me, because it's just too cold. You hate the
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I hate the cold, man, I hate the cold, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't want You're gonna go from Arizona to Buffalo.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Screw that. If you were a jet, if you were
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a panther, I could understand that shift. If you're a
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: freaking Arizona Cardinal and you're gonna go to Buffalo, Nope,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: my blood is too thin for that stuff. So I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: think it would be cool if he went to the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Chiefs and Eagles are already so good like at Chargers.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Would be fun for me to see him go to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: the chart. He wouldn't be a number, But those receivers
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: stay hurt so much. I know, it's just like spinning
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the wheel of who's gonna be hurt and hopefully you
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: get two of them in a week. Yes, but I
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: would like to see him go to the Chargers because
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I would like to see them win and be competitive
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: and have to hear people stop talking about how they
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: should be winning and they should be competitive. So I'm
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: picking the Chargers if it's me. And also it's not cold,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I Yes.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: Next, we went golfing last weekend. You saw my struggles
• 7:21
  Speaker 6: with the driver, So I was wondering, which club do
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: you hate to hit?
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Hit the least?
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Are you getting your clubs today?
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow?
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: You are get your clubs to day, big week that's awesome.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what is today? Tuesday? Tuesday? And that's exciting very.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Kevin's getting some some cobras and we're doing a little
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: series and he went and got fit. And you did
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: struggle with that driver.
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: I've always struggled that slice, man.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I struggle to We all struggle.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: Eddie's here too. Eddie struggles more than anybody, Probably not
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: as much as you guys.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Oh your MIC's alone.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, just sitting my desk working, dude.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: You know what club do you hate to hit the most?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Because mine's a five iron, because it's my longest iron.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I don't mind hit the driver. I can rap.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I can knock a driver most of the time. Half
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: a mile pretty good. Yeah, hybrid's pretty good because it
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: basically a driver just without a tea. I get to
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that five iron, I pitch your wedge sandwich.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: All good.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Once the iron start to get longer. My five iron
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: is the worst club it's so weird.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: They say, like, hit the long iron's how you hit
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a short iron, but it's not possible.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: But your body never tilt. Your body is totally yeah.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And so I would say four iron for me.
• 8:29
  Speaker 5: However, I've figured out a little hack lately that I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: It's changed my game because usually if I'm like one
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: nighty out, I don't have a club for that. My
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: three would probably goes like two ten or whatever. So
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: one nighty I'm stuck. But with that four iron, that's
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: the yardage.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: I flatten it out now, almost like it's behind my
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: back foot back so flat, and I swing almost like
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: I'm punching the club, and the ball goes. The ball
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: goes about two hundred and one ninety yards and it
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: stays low and it rolls all the way, but it's straight.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: So that's I think that's how I'm going to hit
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: a four on from now on.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Now you don't have a club that you can't hit.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Listen to this guy right now, have is its worst
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: is now his favorite?
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Man, I love it. His weakness is now his strength.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: What's the worst thing about you that I care too much?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's a job in what you just did right there.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Next question, you were at.
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: The College Softball World Series last weekend and you've been
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: to the Super Bowl. What's a sporting event on your
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: list that you haven't been to.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: I've been to the World Series when the Cubs lost
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: to the Indians and the game. They ended up winning
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the World Series that year. But it was awesome even
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: though they lost. It was game two, I believe two
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: or three, and they lost a game, and that part sucked.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: They end up winning the World Series is amazing, amazing, amazing,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and just that even that night, even though they lost,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: it was such a cool night.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: I ranked that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Higher than a Super Bowl, but probably because it was
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: my team. Yeah, honestly, the women's College World Series is
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: a series of games.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: It's like two weeks long. There are eight teams.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: You make it to the College World Series, they're eight
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: teams and you're playing double emination bracket. There's two winners
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: come out of the bracket and then they play. You
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: start from scratch and it's three Like right now, Oklahoma
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: and Florida State are playing because they come out of
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the both the different brackets, and they didn't matter if
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: any of them want or loss.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Once you get out of your bracket. You start over.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I will say that I think going to women's college
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: softball is better than going to men's college baseball if
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: you're just going for a team that's not yours. More energy,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: more action, it's just a more fun experience. The crowd's
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: into it more now if you're going for your team.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I'd really go watch Arkansas baseball, which let me down
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: big time. They lost to TC.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It was terrible.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: They got twenty to five. You got hit two grand
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: slams back to back innings innings. He had a grand
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: slam the first inning, grand slam in the second end.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He hit another home run later in the game. They
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: beit US twenty to five.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: And then we're winning.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Now working out yesterday, we're up four to two, and
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: like the sixth inning, I was like, fight, thank god,
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: we're gonna win this game. Go to the rubber match,
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: get out of here, go to super Regionals. Now they
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: end up pounding us. It's terrible, So I go World Series,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Super Bowl. The women's college World Series was really cool.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I wish I had a team in it, but I
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: did have family coaching two teams. I've been to Omaha
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: for the baseball the College World Series Baseball. I've not
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: been to an NBA Finals, been World Series.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: What if I know?
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I guess that's the only thing. I don't want to
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: go to a race car. I don't want to don't
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: care about going to a race car. What if you
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: call it Matt nat NASCAR race car. I don't care
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: about racecar.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, World Cup, that would be cool.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I feel like we get trampled, like all of a sudden,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I'll get trampled by all the people that love souce soccer.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: People are too passionate for me. How have you been
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: to like a US Open something like that.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I have.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I've golf for tennis, sat tennis, like for erotic I've
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: been to events. Yoh yeah, I went to the US Open.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: He called me.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I was like, I'm about to retire. You have to
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: get up here. You're right, dang. I forgot about that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: But the problem with that was because that's in Flushing Meadows,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: and so you said, it's like a forty minute car
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: ride from the city in New York, and it rained
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: the whole like we and so there's no roof on
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: that thing, and they kept canceling matches.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I'm just stuck in a hotel room.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: So I don't think I got the real US Open
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: experience there.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: What about like the Masters?
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I've been I cannot believe I've been to all this time.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: But if you start to say it, holy, I got
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: a pretty blessed life here. I bet everything but NBA
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Finals game. The Masters is cool.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I went with Roddick.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I have price said this before, but is me and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: him and John Legend together in the house and we
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: were just betting on a part three. They were just
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: golfers to come up hit. We bet who gets the closest,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: and then they kept elevating their bets and I was
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: not the place I am now financially, and I was like,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I'm out of here, man, I can't bet with these
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: guys anymore. But it was crazy. It was a lot
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: of fun, and Masters was cool. Number one is going
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: to be the World Series. Number two is going to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: be the Masters. Number three is going to be the
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: super Bowl. Number four is going to be the Women's
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: College World Series. Number five is going to be the
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: College World Series, and number six is race car.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: All right, what do I want to go to? Wimbledon?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Would be cool, but I don't care about me tennis
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: players anymore.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I don't really have anything I want to do.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Man, this is good. I like this because I now
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I got to realize I'm very lucky, fortunate to have
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: done a lot of this stuff. I never put it
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: all together.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: No desire to go to NBA Finals.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that'd be cool.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Game seven though, Okay, I went to Game three in Oa,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: Lakers Celtics in LA and it was cool. Celtics lost,
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: but it was great. But I've been the World Series
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: as well. The World Series was definitely way.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Better World And we're in Wrigley Field and it was
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: so packed, it was so dense with people, and still
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: everybody was in the best mood.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: It was amazing.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So yes, I would like to go to Game seven.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no National College foot
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: one national championship.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, good call. That's it. I haven't been to that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Good call because I won't go unless as Arkansas. I mean,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I couldn't have DraftKings like we'd like you to go.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I'd go, but college for one national championship.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: That my answer? Rub it up, stupid in his name
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the town tunnel.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Let's get up, all right, let's go to our boy Keester. Sure,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: He is from ESPN, the national voice of ESPN Radio
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: cover in the NBA Finals.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Here he is Marcstershire. Hey, Mark, what's happening?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Hey, what's going on? Hey?
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: I'm a massive fan. I think you do such a
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: great job.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: At I'm just honored to be on with you. So
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: it's a complete other way around.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that, like you're the best at it,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and you know, it was kind of before we start
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: actually talking about like the main thing and making the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: main thing the main thing, like when you cause your voice,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: like you're so good at it and you have the voice,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Like I was always okay at it, but I didn't
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: have the voice. But what was like your first like,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: you know, entry way into being a broadcaster, did you
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: because I did Division two basketball and football, did you
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: do high school? Did you do small colleges or anything?
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: You know? I what I what I did was I
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: took my tape recorder up into the I was at
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Syracuse University as a chemical engineering major, and I decided
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: this is what I always wanted to do, even though
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: my parents, you know, were like, no, enough, Broadcasting's not
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: the route to go. And then yeah, I did small
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: college D three D two D one, and then I
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: kind of gave up on the dream while I was
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: doing studio stuff in Albany and Cleveland, and then when
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: I got to ESPN, I just kept pounding on the
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: door and finally got a shot. And I don't know
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: how I'm here right now, to be honest with you.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: It took a while, but I got here.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I know why you're here, because you know, the cream
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: always eventually rises. But when you go to ESPN, when
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: you're hired at ESPN, what was your job description for
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: what you were going to do.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Initially when I was hired there, it was to do updates,
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: you know, they call them Sports Center updates for ESPN
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Radio every twenty minutes. And I swore that when I
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: told my wife, I said, I'm going to be working overnights,
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you, And they said, no, You're going to
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: be in the evenings, you know, from seven to midnight.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: And I was thrilled. Game Night was a big show
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: back then, you know, as ESPN was just getting into
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: twenty four to seven radio and so you know, top
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: of the hour, twenty pass forty pass, I would do
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: two three minutes sports updates and it was about a
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: year after that that I filled in on our Major
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: League Baseball coverage, being the pregame host, postgame host, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: the guy who was in charge of that was in
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: charge of play by play. And that's how I kind
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: of maneuvered my way after a number of years.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: The hardest thing for me was I would travel and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: do football play by play and we were home. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: had a color guy that was with me. Now again,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: we're Division two in a small town in Arkansas. Nobody cares.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But when the color got was real fine. But I
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: would travel and the school didn't have any real money,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: so they would send me by myself, and when we
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: would get beat like seventy to three, it was miserable
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: calling a game. So do you have like backup plans
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: for if for some reason the game is stopped and
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: you just have something you can start talking about.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah. You know what's funny is all the days in
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: between games, or the week in between a football game.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: I put together this massive chart, color coded every thought
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: that comes into my head that just in case we
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: get seventy to three, you know, what do I want
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: to talk about? What's the most interesting thing I want
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: to talk about? And then of course most weeks, you
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: just leave it on the table you got a good game.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: But I always like to have a game plan, what's
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: the biggest thing we want to talk about big picture
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: and then kind of dial it down. And the nice
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: thing is with all the analysts that I work with
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: over the years, try to have a lunch, have a dinner,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: pick their brains, and it always turns out I'm working
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: material because that's the stuff I go to when we
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: have a bad game.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Do you get to or how much access do you
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: have because now you're covering the finals, but how much
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: access do you have to players or coaches to kind
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: of understand their philosophy about the last game or the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: game coming up depends.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: On what sport we're doing. The NBA is for me
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: since I'm on one of their top games every week
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: or two games, we always have coach access, which is
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: great where it's just our little ESPN radio unit for
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: ten minutes. Today it'll be Eric Spolstrap from the Heat,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Michael Malone from Denver, and then in the finals, you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: we'll expand to a player or two each where it's
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: just the five or six of us in the room,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: and you know, sometimes you have to navigate. Most times
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: you have to navigate through the coach speak, but every
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: once in a while, you know, we've built a good
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: trust with many of the coaches, and they will trust
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: us with information and you can disseminate some of the
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: stuff that you know, maybe is right up on the
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: edge of what's good for on the air, what's not
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: appropriate for on the air, and you just have to
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: kind of figure it out. But we get decent act.
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: We had great access in the NBA, for sure.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Tell me about Spoe for a second, because I'm unfairly
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: when he was coaching Lebron and Bosch and Wade all together,
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: You're like, well, they win the titles. Obviously they're gonna
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: win the titles. He's gont have to be a good
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: coach to do that. But now he has ascended to
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: one of the best coaches in the NBA, or at
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: least that's what everybody's tells me. And I think what
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: he's done with the Heat this year has been an
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: example of that. But what does he like to talk
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: to And after you spend time with him, do you go, ah, yeah,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: I get it now.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: You know what we kind of figured out early on
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: the late Great Doctor Jack Ramsey, who was so special
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: to this league into this game, had known Eric since
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: he was a young boy, because Eric's dad was an
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: executive with the Portland Trailblazers where doctor Jack was in
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: the late seventies, And so we got the sense early
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: on that even as a twenty five year old video guy,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: you know, video room guy, that he just understood the game.
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: And I think, you know, when Lebron comes and you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: they're in the midst of a nine and eight start
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: and there's this big mailstroom as they go back to Cleveland,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: You're wondering if pat Riley's going to descend back from
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: the front office. He had so much trust in Eric
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: that he let him ride it out to four straight
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: title or four straight championship series in two titles. And
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: he's the same guy. I mean, he just gets it.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: He has a knack. He's good at also not divulging
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: what he wants to do. You know, he will make
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: sure that if you get a little too close to
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: the X and zero, he'll divertue in a certain way.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: But when the cameras are off and the lights are off,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: you know, you can get a little quiet time with
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: him and maybe get inside what he really wants to
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: do if he trusts you, which he does with our crew.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I've been able to watch a bunch of some summ
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Denver games at the time zones a bit later, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: I have League Pass and so i'd watch some Jokic games.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: I don't think I was as clueless about how good
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: that he is, like a lot of my other friends
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: are casual NBA fans, because I do have the League
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: pass that I watch.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Do you think if the league voted for MVP after
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: the playoffs in the finals that he would have won
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: the third MVP in a row.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: I think it would have been a landslide. I am
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: one of the voters. I don't know if there's one
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: hundred or one hundred and one voters, and I voted
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: for Joker last year in an incredibly tight race. I
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: thought MBA could have won it this year. I was
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: also confronted with we've got three great centers. If you
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: want to include Giannis in that position, who do you
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: vote for? And it just felt like with Mbeat's closing
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: run and the fact that you know I shorted him
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: last year, I voted for Joel Embid. I still feel
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: fine with that as a regular season vote, but your
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: point is well taken. He's in a time zone that
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: a lot of people don't stay up. I'm a league
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: pass aholic like you, and now to see it up
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: close every day. We were on the Western Conference finals
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: as well. You know he's going to be one of
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: the I don't know if I say top twenty players
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: of all time in this league. And yeah, if we revoted,
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I think I think the Joker might be a three
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: time MVP.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I think what hurts him too is the same thing
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: that hurts Heisman candidates to play in California is that
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: we don't get to see him as much if we're
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: on the East Coast or Central time zone, and because
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: we're not constantly exposed to them, they don't really exist
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: as much to us, so we're not as passionate about them.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: I know it happens with Heisman voters. Would you say
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: that it a bit has hurt Jokic?
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: I did think a little bit. But I think also
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: is he doesn't look the part. I mean he doesn't.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: When you look at him, He's just so massive and
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: even though he's you know, sculpted his body, if I
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: want to put in quotation marks. You know, he's done
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: a really good job of getting in great shape. Is
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just not sexy what he does, and
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: clearly it doesn't move the needles nationally, you know, like
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: the big brands do. But when you watch him day
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: to day, it's hard to imagine a guy where you
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: can throw, you know, multiple defenses at him, you can
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: try to change things up, and he's always going to
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: make the right play. You know. If he's got guys
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: with him who can hit shots, you know, it's almost
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: impossible to defend. And that's what we saw the other day.
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Like you know, Denver didn't make all the shots they
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: made in Game one, and even though you know, tons
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: of credit to Miami's defense in the game to win,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: and I think they're going to try to do the
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: same type of stuff to Jokic. He's just so devast dating,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: especially you know during a season. You know, series are
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: different because you're just adjusting, readjusting, whereas you know teams
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: are coming in on a back to back into Denver.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: You haven't seen yoke at you all year in the East,
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: and that makes it so much harder to defend him.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: But he's just He's just incredible. He's a different look
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: and I think this is the big stage he needed
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: to kind of put himself out on that pedestal.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Are these European guys a bit more cerebral at just
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: basketball in general?
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: In your opinion?
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: You know, I think I think we're evening out a
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: little bit. But I do think the last you know
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: from Dirk Novitski on where the skill set, the drills
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: they do at earlier ages FIBA being on a you know,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: a shorter clock than college. You know, in high school,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: they're making decisions a lot quicker. I think that is
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: a benefit to the Europeans and to other parts of
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: the world that they're thinking the game a lot differently
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: than you know, the North Americans have been. Although I
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: think that evening out of late.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: The big scandal, the possible scandal is Taylor Swift's tour.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: Everywhere she's been they've lost. She's going to Denver, She's
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: not going to Miami. I mean, is that it is
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: it with Jimmy and Taylor Swift?
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: Is that?
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: Is that how Miami's gonna pull this out?
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: They may have to. Bobby I might bring that up
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: in today's interviews for only about fifteen minutes away. I
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: hadn't been tracking the Taylor tour except to compare how
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: much money she's going to make versus I think the
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: entire NBA as a whole.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Everywhere that she's been has lost, and and she's going
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: to Denver soon and she's not going to Miami at all.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: That's all we're saying. I listen, I ain't come up
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: with us all on TikTok, but I mean it's there.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: It's looking as right in the eyes just a couple.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I don't care where you got it. Bobby, I'm gonna
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say I heard my good friend Bobby Bow.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going with that, all right.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: Two final questions, So with Miami winning Game two, which
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: I will admit was a shock to me after watching
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: them just get crushed in Game one, although they did
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: come right off that series. They did go to Denver,
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: where you don't breathe as well when you on Game
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: two they win, I mean, can this thing go six
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: or seven games?
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: You know, all of a sudden? I think yes. It's
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: amazing how the narrative changes on one result, right, I mean,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: if Murray hits that three and we go overtime, who
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: knows Denver maybe wins. Now we're second guessing if Eric
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Spolster should have fouled you know, up three, but the
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: result changes everything, and that now you see it with
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: your own, you know, two eyes, that you know this
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: team is dogged defensively. They've kept Denver under one hundred
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: and ten in both and it comes down to making shots.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: I know we always say it, and it's awful to
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: keep repeating it's a make or myth league, but that's
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: exactly what it is for Miami. This team is so
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: proficient at three point shooting, especially in the playoffs, and
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: they could not have been worse in game one. They
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: make their shots in Game two, and now they're home
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: for Game three, where you feel the role players will
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: be even better. So yeah, all of a sudden, you
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: feel that if Denver gets a split, it feels pretty good.
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: And that means we're going to you know, to Denver
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: for two to two and a guarantee of a six games.
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: So I think it does feel like it's going a
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: little bit longer.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: All right, final question, And I wouldn't ask this if
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: you weren't to know all. In my mind, you are
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: the to know all and I do want to talk
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: about Lebron. I don't think he's retiring. I doubt you
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: do as well. But that's not really the question. But
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: you can you can't add that here. But with Bronni
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: going to USC and Lebron wants to play with Bronni,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: do they really think Bronny's going to be a one
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: and done or will he be a one in? It
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. He's just going to be done. Even if
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: he's not ready for the NBA.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: It's a great question. He's not retiring. There's no way
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: he's not going to Dallas. I don't think that's going
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: to happen unless Bronni's transferring to like SMU or something.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: I don't know if he's a one and done. I
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: haven't seen him play in person. But what's fascinating to
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: me is even if he isn't, you know, in a
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: normal situation, perhaps you know, if the team was angling
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: once lebron has free agency status again to say, hey,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: package deal, you know, we will take your son and
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: you can come play for us. Like that's always been
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: one of those little scenarios that's been rolling out there
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: for the last few years. I will say this from
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: people who do watch prep basketball, And I have to
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: admit I really don't. I mean, I see the guys
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: who are getting ready for the draft and are part
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: of our draft coverage, so that's when I kind of
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: clewe into them. And Ronnie's still, you know, a few
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: months away from getting into the kind of stuff I
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: would watch. I've been told that his game is improving
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: and that he's a pretty good ballplayer. Whether or not,
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: you know, good enough for the league, Well, we'll find
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: out in time for sure.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: ESPN Radios coverage Game three Wednesday, six thirty pm Central Time,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: So do the math figure out where your time zone is. Hey, Marks,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: huge fan. I know you've got a meeting to go to,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: but you did the best of what you do. And
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: thank you for your time, my friend.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that that that means a lot coming from you.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: A big fan the other way.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Thank see you, buddy. All right, Thanks to Mark. That
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: was awesome.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Miami wins another one, but I
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: didn't know if Miami's gonna win one.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You know, they did dang it.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: And.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: They fell behind. They were up.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I turned it off, then they fell way behind, and
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: then I was like, I'm not even going back to it.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: And then Duncan Robinson that's when he would like ten
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: ten points in a row something like that.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and brought him back.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, let's move on with a few
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: stories here. The College Football Hall of Fame ballot includes
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Michael Vick Larry Fitzgerald, all eligible for the first time.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: You know, I gotta say that I college Football Hall
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: of Fame doesn't mean that much to me because I'm
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: not a college player. I mean, I love college four
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: more than the NFL, which is weird. I do close,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: but I love college foot more than the NFL. But
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: I guess the College Football Hall of Fame doesn't really
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: mean anything to me.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: You No, not really, And I'm wondering why they're eligible
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: for the first time. Michael Vick, who was obviously played
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: twenty plus years ago in college VIC was awesome at
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: Virginia Tech was amazing. I mean, he was just a
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: lightning Bowl.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: As much as he was in the NFL. He was
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: that times two in college.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: And Larry F.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Cherald at PITT I don't remember that well because I mean,
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: see a lot of pit games, right, if I'm being honest, Right, So,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: that's cool.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Good for them.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: I think there are some guys who But I think
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Larry Fitzchild's probably in the NFL Hall
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: of Fame, isn't he? Has he been retired long enough?
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: No, I think he's got another year or two.
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, but he'll be for sure, we'll be in VIC.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: No.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Does he not make the NFL Hall of Fame?
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: No?
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: Man, he has some good Oh you're the dog fighting
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: I forget about the dog fighting stuff.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: And he was never really he had some flashes when
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: he came back. You know, he played for the Eagles,
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: some good games, a good stretch.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: But now you want to watch something that is dynamic,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: go to YouTube and search for Randall Cunningham videos. I mean,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: he was Michael Vick before Michael Vick was Michael Vick
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: in a time where there were no other versions of him.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Randall Cunningham was awesome for the Eagles. I don't know
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: if he's in the Hall of Fame or not. He
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: has to be, because again, I don't think you want
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: any titles.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: See I only remember him with the Vikings. Randall Cunningham, Yeah,
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: with Moss before Dante Culpepper, that's how I remember Randall
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: coneham Man.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: That's the old Randall Cunningham.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, is he in the Hall of Fame?
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: I want to see in the college Cunningham? Where do
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: you go to college?
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: I do not know that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I mean that's before me, or at least I kept
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: up with people like that you and l V huh.
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, good luck to all them.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: I really don't care about the college right, but I,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: like you thought, why is it so long? What are
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: the rules for college? Like somebody like Tim Tebow. That's
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: when somebody should be in the college Hall of Fame. Absolutely,
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: he personified what it was to be in college. He
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: got super famous from college his NFL. He got extra
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: shots in the NFL because of how popular he was
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: based on his call. I mean, Tim Tebow is like
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: the ultimate college athlete. Yeah, who's the best college football
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: player that you can remember? I'm gonna go Tebow.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Reggie Bush, Oh god, damn.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Reggie Bush was awesome and I hated it Lindell why
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: at the same time. Yeah, that and that team ended
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: up losing to Tech. Yeah that Vince Young around the
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: right side. Reggie Bush was amazing. They should give him
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: hehidsman back. Absolutely should give him hidsman back. PGA Tour,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Live Golf emerging. This just happened an hour or so
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: ago that I even found out, So I haven't been
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: able to actually see why they've decided to do this.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: Who was the wimp peer who said we submit to you,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: we give up.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: That's not really coming out yet, but it kind of
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: seems like the PGA Tour just because they're the ones
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: holding ground and now they're merging, and it seems like
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: the governor.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Of eating Eddie Eddie just walks in eating a boiled egg.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: How many of those do you eat today?
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Three? I'm just three for breakfast.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: They stink.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: I don't smell anymore, kind of like when you have
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: bad about you, you're in a room with us, do
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: you smell it?
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: I'm far away. Do you smell like Kevin?
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: No?
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: I don't see. We're all good here.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: So you think the PGA Tour are the ones that
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: did caved.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: I only say that because they were the ones trying
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: to hold ground and talking very bad about live golf
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: and how golfers shouldn't go there, and then now it's like, oh,
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: let's come together.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Who do you think the wissy is here Eddie like
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: one of them had to be like tail tug between
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: their legs.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: We want to merge PGA.
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: They are the ones that were so anti Live that
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: I think they're I mean to merge. You're basically saying, man,
• 32:18
  Speaker 5: you got us like you took. How many golfers did
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: they take.
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: Or did they go, you know, a screw? Which are
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: gonna buy you guys?
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: It can also be a power play.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: Interesting, I don't know. I mean to me, that's not
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: it because Live is the one that screamed all the money.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: We have all the money in the world.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: People that screamed they have money oftentimes don't have money.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: Dude. They paid those golfers like, they paid them a
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: lot of money.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: So what's more important the chairman or the CEO?
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Oh chairman?
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, so that's the Live.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Depending what's that?
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: Why the governor of the Saudi Arabia Wealth Fund you
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: see your all room Mayan will be the chairman of
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: the new group, but j Monahan will be the CEO.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Who's a PGA tour guy. Bro, that's crazy. Well, I
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: need to know more.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: If it's the chairman of the board that oversees it,
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: because that's different than just a chairman. Sure, Like at
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: our company, we have the CEO who runs a freaking company.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: He's the dude making all the decisions. But then there's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: a board who he has to report to.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he can't do anything without their approval.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: Right he you know he can really, Yeah, he can
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: do I mean he's a CEO. He gets to do
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: whatever he wants, but he has to end up reporting
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: to them, figures data if they want to keep him, okay,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: so he doesn't have to ask permission. And then there's
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: a director a chairman of that board. If that's not
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: if he's actually an active role, I don't know. We'll
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: find out. If the PGA tour was like we're scared,
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: but liv was getting no traction as far as uh
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: people watching.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: It, that's all.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: If the PGA said, Hey, we got big old balls,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: we're going to buy you. Okay, that's what I hope happened.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Forget the two entities though, like, forget live in PGA.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: How is Phil how is Dustin Johnson? How are they
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: going to come back and be like, hey, who won?
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: Now I've got way more money than you, and I'm
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: playing the same tournaments as you.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: It's only one year.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: They only get to it for one year, so it's
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: not significant difference.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I think the PGA was tired of Denny McCarthy being
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: on the leader board, like and that's our big dude,
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: and then you have like Rory McElroy, who you know,
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: choked this weekend. It's crazy. I think I think PGA
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: is just like, we got to do something. This lives
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: really messing our thing up with that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Something they've happened so long, they could have bought it too.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: The Live tours sometimes it's like Facebook is there's a
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: company that's doing something and they're like, oh, we don't
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: want them to let's just buy them out. Yeah, we
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: don't know. I'm sure by the time this podcast is out,
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: all speculation. I just hope my bleeding, Red, White, and
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Blue Heart hopes that lived and win.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: That's what it is, fighting hard for it. I just
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: have a bias for her.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Frank Vogel is gonna coach the Sons five year, thirty
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: one million dollar job. Vogel, who you may remember coaching
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: the Lakers. I don't know a lot of egos to manage.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I'm sure that's the main requirement to take that job.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Obviously you got to know your basketball, But then can
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: you deal with the pressure and the egos that you're
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: gonna have there? With Kadi, with Booker, with Chris Paul.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: And two years old?
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: That sounds like what's Lunchbox's character's name?
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: Junkson all are the same person. Netflix's documentary on Florida
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: looks awesome.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Let's go.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: It looks awesome. I mean it's two thousand and six,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: two thousand nine Gators. It's called swamp things. And if
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: you just hear that, you're like, Okay, why do I
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: care about the six to nine Gators? Well, it's everything
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: that happened. And who was a part of those teams?
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Tebow who we just talked about, Aaron Hernandez, the Penalty Twins,
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Percy Harvin urban Meyer. He left right after that because
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: of health quote health issues, which then he went back
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: to Ohio State. Who knows maybe about the health issues fixed.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: There's a lot that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: When was Cam Newton, he was there too, Okay, because
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: that's a back story, but I thought whenever that happened,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: that had to be then too. This is gonna be
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: real good. It's gotta be good. August twenty thirty comes out.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: It's got to be good. There's too much here. And
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: I wonder who was interviewed for it. Yeah, did Aaron
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Hernanez let him in jail? Is he dead?
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I thought so. Then I thought after I
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: said that.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I can't do that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: One can't talk Aaron Hernandez anymore. He killed himself, right, yes,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: twenty seventeen. Yeah, so they're twenty seventeen. That's probably before
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: documentary started. They probably won't get talk to him any
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: I wonder if urban Meyer talks.
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: He didn't know. Way he didn't talk at all, right, yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: no way. The only thing he.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Talks to ISO ladies grinding on in a bar.
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: He was talking to them.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: He was talking with his hands. The SEC has established
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: their twenty twenty four football schedule format. They'll play eight
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: conference games now for a year, they're gonna go to nine,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but right now they're not being paid for that ninth
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: game there. I think there were four or five schools
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: that own that wanted the nine right now. The rest
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: were like, we don't want it right now. Probably the
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: teams didn't want it because you're just adding another freaking
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: monster game, and I think the ninth game is easier
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: to take once there are twelve sixteen teams in a
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: playoff where if you lose one or two games, that
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: doesn't automatically eliminate you. Because what we have this coming
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: up year anyway, it is the normal to sitch four teams.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: You go at it, and you lose a game, it's hard.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: You lose two games, it's almost over. And so I
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: think that's probably why a lot of the schools are going,
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: we don't want the ninth game right now, because we
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to lose two or three games by having
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: to play a lot more harder teams than all these
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: other schools are playing and other conferences. But it will
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: go to nine, and they're not being paid for that
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: ninth game, and they'll want money for that. So a
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: lot of things probably in play, but that see, teams
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: will play eight conference games plus one required opponent from
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: the ACC, Big ten, Big twelve, PAC twelve, or Major
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Independent during the twenty four season when Oklahoma and Texas
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: joined the league. In addition, the SEC will eliminate divisional
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: standings all one team, put them on a bucket. You
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: like that, I don't care. I know that I'm reading
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: most teams is most teams is most teams apostrophe consistent opponents.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: They're every years there are three teams, like Arkansas's.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: Is going to be.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Texas, Missouri.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Where is the other one?
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, miss those are Arkansas. Every year they'll play those
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: for sure. Oklahoma's is Florida Texas Okay, good, Missouri Texas is.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: So they'll have those three. But then every other year,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: once it becomes a niner, you play every team every
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: other year, which I think is good because there were
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: some kids that would coming into the SEC, even Arkansas
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: for example, and they'd play all four years and never
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: play a Vanderbilt, never play some of the teams. They
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: never get to go experience at atmosphere. So yeah, it's good,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: It's fine.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: You know what.
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: The pods thing was the thing for a minute. They
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: we're gonna put them in pods or not. They're just
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: dumping them all. We saw the Big Twelve do that.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve does that. They just lump them in there
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: and top two teams come out fighting and then they
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: play the bowl champion, the conference championship.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: There.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: I'm ready for Oklahoma Texas to come to SEC just
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: because my wife and her family they are massive Oklahoma fans.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: And you and your wife watching the game together and
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: they playing each other.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: I hope they play the first year.
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: No, we won't watch the game of them. We'll go
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: wherever it is.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: What's that going to be?
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: Like?
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: Sad for me?
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: But what if Arkanstas wins? Do you rub it in
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: her face or do you just kind of silently and
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: be like, yeah.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: Nothing will be silent?
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Okay, But I do understand, not just in this scenario
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: but in general that if I rub it in her
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: face now, the tide will turn at some point and
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I will get it rubbed back into my face. And
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: she's much better rubber than I am. She's an assassin, man.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: She'll cut you, She'll cut me. She's core, not just
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: about this, but when she's ready to go, I mean
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: she is. So yeah, I'm excited for it. Those schools
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: are close sished together too, so it makes sense we're
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: gonna play Oklahoma State as well, which is a lot closer.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: So those are fun games. Those are regional games.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: That's fine.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: It's old Southwest Conference, you know, remember South comments a
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: little bit. But there was a reason that all those
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: schools were like rivals because they're all we're all close together.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: It's just fun to play other schools that are close
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: to you in proximity. So I'm excited about that.
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Ed, anything you want to add? What's up?
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, dude, I just want to.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Give you one more shot. You're working.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what you're talking about.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go. Final thoughts.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Read's not here.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: He's in Europe. I gave him. You know, in soccer

• 41:14
  Speaker 2: times in your life you could do.
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: Stuff like this.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Just go.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: He feels like he was betraying you.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Well, I pay him a full time salary, so it's
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: not betraying. It was just me being like a good
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: dude to being like you only get these so we
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: could do like a foreign exchange program where we get somebody, right.
• 41:30

  Speaker 6: even had my own clubs, let alone fitted clubs.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you should have had your own off the

  Speaker 5: Puma Cobra brand and the shirts that we've gotten is
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: that not you can't buy these at stores. One that

  Speaker 2: able to wear all this and mostly too.
• 43:24
  Speaker 5: You couldn't bring a lot with you from California, so
• 43:28
  Speaker 5: you know, because there was a lot of clothes to
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: fit in your bag, so I took half of that
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: from me.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Was that not the reason? Not the reason? Because we
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: flew back private. So it's not a big deal. Okay,
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: are you sponsored?
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: You don't believe me, says stuff.

• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Someone's like, are you on the team? Goes in the
• 43:49

  Speaker 3: That's different Jerry's helicopter one time?
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: This No, man, I'm not sponsored, thank you though.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: Final thought, I'll talk about Madden twenty four. They say
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen is going to grace the cover of Madden
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: twenty four and the big Madden guy love Madden. Madden
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: curse was always a thing. Two thousand and one, Eddie
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: George was on thirteen hundred rushing yards. Pretty good year.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: Two thousand and two. Dante Culpepper was on almost four
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: thousand pathan yards. Marshall Falk two thousand and three, eleven
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: hundred yards, eleven touchdowns. Who are the people that really
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: got I? Donovan McNabb towards a cl after he was
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: on Ray Lewis tore or injured a hamstring after he
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: was on the cover of it. Vince Young just sucked. Yeah, seriously,
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: he had injured knee. Peyton Hillis was a one hit
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: wonder you shut up about Peyton Ellis.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but still come on Madden.
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: The league voted the votes.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: It was a voted one.
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: You need to shut your mouth. Sean Alexander did rush
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: for one thousand yards after he was on the cover.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Let's see who else Peyton hillis by fan vote? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: it was a bad year. No, I guess his other
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: year was just one good year exactly. Adrian Peterson child
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: abuse scandal twenty fourteen after he was on.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Gronk. But he was always hurt too, Maybe boy.
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady when goat audition. Can he crushed after that?
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Antonio Brown four receptions for fifty six yards?
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: Oh no, is that the bad year?
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: One touchdown on one game with the Patriots? Lamar Jackson,
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: it's good, Tom Brady Petrick, Yeah, ok, good. Well my
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: point is there's just a few players that got you
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: hard after that, So the curse became a much bigger
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: thing than it actually was. It's almost like the Sports
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Illustrated curse. Like the week after when somebody doesn't perform well,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: the week after Sports illustrit're on the cover, you're like,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: look at that, But most times they keep performing well,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: so you don't go look at that. Yeah, so pretty cool.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Josh Allen on Madden A little too slow for me
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: to use on Madden is my guy? He can throw hard.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: It's a little too slow for me. I like a
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: little more mobile quarterback on the game.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Who who's your QB?
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Well we're in like two thousand thirty right now.
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: So who's playing in twenty thirty? Well not a lot
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: of the guys now, so new rookies company makeup names.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's cool. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, so you would know.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: I saw Eddie George at the airport what last week?
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: He say, Hey, down, how I get you in? Wh
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: you're playing with the Calndary sponsor.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: He still looks like he can play.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah man, big old legs.
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah nah.
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: He was just walking, you know, in the gate and
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: I was like, wow, I did double take. But that's
• 46:29
  Speaker 5: pretty cool man. I've never seen before. We've lived here
• 46:31
  Speaker 5: for what ten years? Never seen before.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: I saw him once in New York.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: That's ironic.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Random.
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: It was really random. The same hotel I was at,
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: really like, you.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Had to George.
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, wait, you asked him? Are you ready? George?
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: Sure did, but but you hold on? Why did you
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: ask him that you knew? It was so quickly. No,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't. I wasn't for sure.
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: It happened so quickly. I was just standing up on
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: him because it's not like I was like, I'm gonna
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: go up to him, say are you aady George. He
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: was like walking out the front door and I was
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: walking in and I was like, are you you had, George?
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: And he's like yeah, I said, hey, I'mobby Bones.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: He had no idea.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: I thought I'd be like, hey, George, what did he say?
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: Cool?
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: He was like oh, and he can't wait for me,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: like fill in the gap, and so I did. I
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm from Nashville and he goes, oh, man, good,
• 47:16

  Speaker 2: He was like, I know it should mean something, but
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: it doesn't.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: So yes, what it felt like?
