Speaker 1: to join Us, and coming up at about fifteen minutes
0:27
Speaker 1: live from Wimbledon. It's gonna be Patrick McEnroe.
0:32
Speaker 4: Don't be angry just because you're saying it right.
0:35
Speaker 1: I did a hissed at you right there, Izzy. I
0:38
Speaker 1: am so confused. The United States appears to finally be
0:43
Speaker 1: good at soccer, and I have no idea what the
0:46
Speaker 1: Celtics were thinking by trading Jalen Brown to a team
0:50
Speaker 1: they just lost to in the Eastern Conference semi finals
0:54
Speaker 1: in the Philadelphia seventy six Ers.
0:56
Speaker 3: I'm sorry in the first round.
0:57
Speaker 1: Right yep, trading them inside that division, inside that conference
1:01
Speaker 1: and making the Sixers a better team than the Boston Celtics.
1:06
Speaker 3: So confused.
1:07
Speaker 4: It feels like they were just trying to get the
1:08
Speaker 4: deal done before the USA Soccer match started, because it
1:13
Speaker 4: felt like they were on some sort of pressured deadline
1:17
Speaker 4: that they weren't on right, Like, yes, you probably ruined
1:21
Speaker 4: some relationships or the relationships some by offering him from Milwaukee,
1:26
Speaker 4: you know, so publicly, and even that you could say,
1:31
Speaker 4: you could talk yourself off of being insulting because it's
1:33
Speaker 4: Yanni Santeto Kumpa.
1:34
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I was gonna say.
1:35
Speaker 1: Is it really that insulting if you're Jalen Brown and
1:38
Speaker 1: publicly they dangled you out there for Giannis, one of
1:41
Speaker 1: the best players in NBA history.
1:42
Speaker 4: No, because if you just want to go one for one, yes,
1:44
Speaker 4: you've won a championship, Yes, you've won a finals MVP.
1:47
Speaker 4: He's done that too, and he's got a couple of MVPs,
1:50
Speaker 4: and he's got a deepoy and he's still thirty one
1:52
Speaker 4: years old, So it shouldn't be insulting for him to
1:56
Speaker 4: be dangled in that trade. But for whatever reason, it
1:59
Speaker 4: felt like they were under immense pressure to get something
2:02
Speaker 4: done immediately, very soon after the honest deal happened to Miami.
2:07
Speaker 4: And you know, the new year starts, a new league
2:10
Speaker 4: year starts, and to me, stude, that just sounds like
2:13
Speaker 4: an ownership edict. You know, they changed ownership, and they're
2:16
Speaker 4: probably looking at Jalen Brown's contract and when they have
2:19
Speaker 4: to extend him and saying, wait a second, what's this
2:21
Speaker 4: going to cost us? Like seventy million dollars annually for
2:24
Speaker 4: a player that we're still not even that sure is
2:28
Speaker 4: you know, belongs you know, top of the league, all NBA,
2:30
Speaker 4: all second team MBA. So yeah, it just felt like
2:34
Speaker 4: pressure from up top to get something done. And they
2:36
Speaker 4: convinced themselves on Paul George. Maybe because Paul had a
2:39
Speaker 4: decent series against them, Maybe because Paul they know they
2:42
Speaker 4: can move on from him without any you know, hesitation,
2:45
Speaker 4: without any real fear of ruining anything that they've built
2:48
Speaker 4: so far. So I think the most embarrassing part for
2:52
Speaker 4: them is, like you mentioned going to Philly, right, the
2:55
Speaker 4: team in your division, Yes, the team that just came
2:58
Speaker 4: back and beat you in the first.
3:00
Speaker 1: Because I think Celtic fans would say, hey, if you
3:03
Speaker 1: feel the need to trade them, if it's economics, if
3:06
Speaker 1: it's you just want to get rid of the guy.
3:08
Speaker 1: He's not good in your locker room, do you have
3:10
Speaker 1: to trade him to someone? We have to face, you know,
3:13
Speaker 1: fifteen times a year and potentially in the playoffs, right.
3:16
Speaker 4: And the other thing is is like I look back
3:18
Speaker 4: at this and think, you know, they for years people
3:22
Speaker 4: in the media were just like, I think it's time
3:23
Speaker 4: to break up Brown and Tatum. I don't think they
3:26
Speaker 4: can win a championship together. And it's almost like they
3:28
Speaker 4: got stubborn in the front office and said, no, I
3:30
Speaker 4: don't care what you think, We're going to win a
3:32
Speaker 4: championship with these guys. Absolutely loaded up the roster and
3:36
Speaker 4: they finally accomplished it.
3:37
Speaker 3: They did it.
3:38
Speaker 4: And so when you come off of a year where
3:41
Speaker 4: you didn't have the same type of talent, not only
3:43
Speaker 4: was Jason Tatum out for most of the year, but
3:45
Speaker 4: your supporting cast was not what it was before, you're
3:48
Speaker 4: going to make a judgment on the one player who
3:51
Speaker 4: was basically carrying you throughout. That tells me it's not
3:55
Speaker 4: about basketball. It tells me it's about finances and it's
3:58
Speaker 4: some sort of personality. Because you could also argue, hey,
4:02
Speaker 4: if it's about finances, move on from Jason Tatum. If
4:04
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown is your Finals MVP is your main piece,
4:08
Speaker 4: they obviously think of Tatum higher than that. So they
4:11
Speaker 4: went with Brown. And it's an issue where you could
4:13
Speaker 4: also argue maybe they've ruined the seventy six ers organization
4:18
Speaker 4: right now because look at their plan. Their plan was Tyres,
4:20
Speaker 4: Maxi and VJ Edgecomb. Sure the plan was built around
4:23
Speaker 4: those guys. Obviously try to share the timeline with Embiid
4:26
Speaker 4: as much as possible. But now you get Jalen Brown
4:28
Speaker 4: in their Taylor. Do you think Jalen Brown goes in
4:30
Speaker 4: there and says, fine, I'll be the third or fourth
4:33
Speaker 4: option behind Maxi and Embiid, Or does Jalen Brown go
4:36
Speaker 4: in there saying I have to have a monster season,
4:38
Speaker 4: be a number one option and back up everything that
4:41
Speaker 4: I've done in Boston.
4:43
Speaker 5: I think that's more likely. He goes in thinking that
4:45
Speaker 5: it's going to try to be his team, But that's
4:47
Speaker 5: a lot of personalities that you have to kind of
4:49
Speaker 5: manage there. The counter I would have to that point
4:52
Speaker 5: is he every team that has traded Paul George historically
4:57
Speaker 5: has gotten significantly better. And I'm wondering here how many
5:01
Speaker 5: teams are gonna still trade for Paul George. If Boston
5:05
Speaker 5: makes the playoffs, He'll be thirty seven next playoffs. And
5:08
Speaker 5: if you told Celtics fans before last season, Jason Tatum
5:12
Speaker 5: with Terror's Achilles, they'd still finish as the two seed
5:16
Speaker 5: in the East. They'd probably think that they'd be thrilled instead.
5:19
Speaker 5: Look how they feel today. They're saying it's the worst
5:21
Speaker 5: trade in Boston sports history. It feels like there's no
5:24
Speaker 5: argument today that Boston is worse off than they were
5:27
Speaker 5: this time yesterday.
5:28
Speaker 3: Boston traded Babe Ruth. They traded it for money.
5:34
Speaker 4: They traded the greatest baseball player ever for money.
5:36
Speaker 6: And this is just as bad.
5:39
Speaker 4: I mean, if you just go by the people that
5:42
Speaker 4: he was traded for, you could build an all Star team. Well,
5:45
Speaker 4: you could say he's the greatest player of all time
5:47
Speaker 4: because it was Shay Gildess, Alexander Yes, Demontis de Bonis,
5:50
Speaker 4: Victor Oladipo, Danilo Gallinari, Jalen Brown, seven first round picks
5:56
Speaker 4: and four picks. But this guy is somebody's goat.
6:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's incredible, But is he It's a great
6:03
Speaker 1: point you make about Philadelphia And because in Bee thinks
6:06
Speaker 1: it's his team, Max, he thinks it's his team.
6:09
Speaker 3: Edgecombe says, Hey, one day, it's gonna be.
6:10
Speaker 1: My team, and Jalen Brown's like, nah, all you get
6:13
Speaker 1: the hell out of the way.
6:15
Speaker 3: This is my team.
6:16
Speaker 4: Well, Jalen Brown's on Twitch telling everybody that Joel Embiid
6:19
Speaker 4: is a flopper. Remember that after the playoffs ended. Yeh,
6:21
Speaker 4: so that that's gonna be now. I'm sure they can
6:24
Speaker 4: hash it out the way you would assume Tatum and
6:26
Speaker 4: he could have hashed out whatever issues. I'm sure they'll
6:28
Speaker 4: do it. I'm sure you know. Mbiid can swallow his
6:30
Speaker 4: pride a little bit because he knows he's probably has
6:32
Speaker 4: the most championship ready team that he's had since twenty nineteen.
6:36
Speaker 4: But it clearly is you know something that is going.
6:39
Speaker 5: To have to be addressed, is he Where was your
6:41
Speaker 5: level of surprise that it was Philadelphia, because in all
6:44
Speaker 5: the lead up to the Jalen Brown it felt like
6:47
Speaker 5: we never really heard anything about this Philadelphia team thinking
6:50
Speaker 5: about even making this move. And a point that we
6:52
Speaker 5: made earlier on the podcast, every mock trade that we
6:57
Speaker 5: saw for Jalen Brown, this would have been the worst one.
7:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, by far, I.
7:02
Speaker 4: Would have put two teams on the no trade list
7:05
Speaker 4: if I was the Celtics and I'm dealing Jalen Brown
7:07
Speaker 4: and it's the Sixers and the Miami Heat it's the
7:10
Speaker 4: local rival, the closest rival literally geographically, and then you
7:14
Speaker 4: know the rival that you've had over the several years.
7:16
Speaker 4: Last thing you wanted Jalen Brown putting on a Heat
7:18
Speaker 4: uniform the way Ray Allen did. So, Yeah, it was.
7:21
Speaker 4: It was quite shocking, Like I literally took a little nap,
7:24
Speaker 4: woke up and looked at my phone, and I thought
7:25
Speaker 4: I was being pranked. Like I thought I was being pranked,
7:27
Speaker 4: and yet Stu Gotts there was an NBA All Star
7:31
Speaker 4: on my phone, a former NBA All Star, who said,
7:33
Speaker 4: Who's immediate reaction, I'm just all I'm gonna tell you
7:36
Speaker 4: is he's not a Miami Heat player, I'll say, all right,
7:38
Speaker 4: or former Miami Heat player. First reaction, I think Boston
7:42
Speaker 4: won this trade.
7:43
Speaker 1: Oh I hate that guy. I can't stand that guy.
7:46
Speaker 1: When every hee's zigging, he needs this egg.
7:49
Speaker 5: I don't even know if that was historically that's been you.
7:54
Speaker 3: And I hate myself, I do.
7:57
Speaker 4: That's a that's a good pull, Taylor.
7:59
Speaker 1: I thought immediately to myself, Brad Stevens is very good
8:02
Speaker 1: at his job.
8:03
Speaker 3: I think he's very good at his job.
8:05
Speaker 1: Like I'm thinking to myself, they make this deal there
8:07
Speaker 1: has to be another deal in the works after this,
8:10
Speaker 1: and you're telling me no, I was discussing it with
8:12
Speaker 1: you earlier.
8:12
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm not sure if there's definitely not another deal,
8:15
Speaker 4: but this wasn't. You could tell this deal wasn't made
8:18
Speaker 4: with the idea that they have one already in place,
8:21
Speaker 4: already in the works. It's just, hey, for whatever reason,
8:24
Speaker 4: we need to get off this Jalen Brown. And I'm
8:26
Speaker 4: just gonna say contract, we need to get off this
8:28
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown contract and then find a way to continue
8:32
Speaker 4: whatever it was we were doing. You could argue that
8:34
Speaker 4: they say to themselves, well, hold on, we just won
8:37
Speaker 4: what was it, fifty six games largely without Jason Tatum.
8:41
Speaker 4: So now if we just flip that and go just
8:44
Speaker 4: Jason Tatum without Jalen Brown, we're probably gonna win a
8:47
Speaker 4: good number of games. If you look at the on
8:49
Speaker 4: off numbers that Tom Haberstrow posted earlier today, it's pretty
8:53
Speaker 4: damning for Jalen Brown and games without Jalen Brown. I
8:56
Speaker 4: want to say they were thirty six and six over
8:58
Speaker 4: the last few years, and so they can convince themselves that, hey,
9:02
Speaker 4: we have this order to get to you know, to
9:04
Speaker 4: not have to worry about his contract. We can bring
9:06
Speaker 4: in another guy that, hey, when he was on, can
9:08
Speaker 4: give you, you know, can blow up for an entire
9:10
Speaker 4: quarter or half, maybe even a game. And yeah, we
9:13
Speaker 4: can probably recreate what we did last year with Jason
9:16
Speaker 4: Tatum as our lead instead of Jalen Brown, and Paul
9:19
Speaker 4: George is my number two. Derek White still there, who's
9:21
Speaker 4: probably the most important piece of that team. It's not
9:24
Speaker 4: named Brown or Tatum. So I think they can convince
9:26
Speaker 4: themselves that they that they can still be a really
9:29
Speaker 4: good team and that Brad Stevens still did a decent
9:31
Speaker 4: job with what he was forced to do.
9:34
Speaker 1: It is odd or I guess validated what it is
9:37
Speaker 1: you just said that the fact that on FanDuel the
9:40
Speaker 1: odds for Philadelphia jumped very high to them getting out
9:44
Speaker 1: of the East, making it to the finals, winning an
9:46
Speaker 1: NBA title, they jumped up with Boston. They're still one
9:51
Speaker 1: of the favorites, meaning their odds didn't go down nearly
9:54
Speaker 1: as much as you would have thought they would go
9:56
Speaker 1: down after losing Jalen Bratt. So maybe there's something to
9:59
Speaker 1: what it is you're saying.
10:00
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there was a time right after the honest tradehere,
10:02
Speaker 4: I think Boston was still the favorite. Yeah, it's again
10:04
Speaker 4: to the East, so yeah, it tells you what you
10:06
Speaker 4: need to know there.
10:06
Speaker 3: What's up Taylor? Is he?
10:07
Speaker 5: According to Kurt Goldsberry, Dunksen three, which is a reputable
10:11
Speaker 5: basketball analytics website that uses van stats and projections, says,
10:16
Speaker 5: Jalen Brown is the eighty seventh best player in the league.
10:20
Speaker 5: Where is the disconnect? Because the eye test is telling
10:23
Speaker 5: us he's a top twenty player in the league. He's
10:25
Speaker 5: a second team All NBA selection, he's a Finals MVP,
10:29
Speaker 5: But his trade value and analytics are telling us, No,
10:32
Speaker 5: that's not even really close to accurate to me.
10:34
Speaker 4: It's style of play. To me, Jalen Brown in nineteen
10:37
Speaker 4: ninety five is All NBA first team every single year,
10:40
Speaker 4: right because he's strong, physical, quick, fast enough mid range
10:44
Speaker 4: that's his goal every single time. If I'm not gonna
10:46
Speaker 4: dunk it, I can rise up for this mid range.
10:48
Speaker 4: You can't really reach, you know, my heights when I'm
10:50
Speaker 4: pulling up, when I'm jumping straight up, and I got
10:52
Speaker 4: a nice clean mid range jump shot.
10:54
Speaker 3: I think when you.
10:55
Speaker 4: You know, play today's game, you really got to do
10:57
Speaker 4: a little bit more of the Jason Tatum thing. It's
10:59
Speaker 4: either you know as what's the name of the website,
11:01
Speaker 4: the podcast dunks three duncsan three's is all you want, right,
11:04
Speaker 4: and so the mid range is not really your thing,
11:07
Speaker 4: And so I think that's it's a style of play.
11:10
Speaker 3: Thing for him.
11:10
Speaker 4: If if he were to want to be more efficient offensively,
11:14
Speaker 4: he could be. He could, he would require him to
11:17
Speaker 4: be on a team that says, hey, I'm optioned one
11:19
Speaker 4: A at all times. Give me the ball on the post,
11:21
Speaker 4: share the ball at the top, give me the screen
11:23
Speaker 4: and roll. I don't think he's going to have all
11:24
Speaker 4: those opportunities with Philly because it's just going to be
11:27
Speaker 4: spread out. So yeah, I think analytics does him a
11:31
Speaker 4: disservice because he's got sort of an old school game.
11:34
Speaker 4: But can you win with him?
11:35
Speaker 3: Literally? Have you literally have If.
11:37
Speaker 1: You're Lebron James and you're looking over the landscape, and
11:40
Speaker 1: he is, and he will take his time now because
11:42
Speaker 1: he has the entire stage to himself, Philadelphia becomes a
11:46
Speaker 1: bit more attractive.
11:47
Speaker 3: It does, I mean, is he?
11:48
Speaker 1: It does if you're willing, if you're wanting to win
11:50
Speaker 1: a championship and you're willing to play for the league
11:53
Speaker 1: minimum being the fifth guy on that team, not that
11:56
Speaker 1: Lebron would be the fifth guy.
11:57
Speaker 3: That's got to be attractive to him.
12:00
Speaker 5: My think about it, Thursday, Oh well, oh really really? Yeah?
12:03
Speaker 5: Has has Philadelphia quietly become the team that makes me
12:06
Speaker 5: ruin it?
12:06
Speaker 4: I can take over that.
12:08
Speaker 3: I think he was good? Well, I didn't know that.
12:10
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Taylor. Taylor is a nick fan.
12:14
Speaker 1: Though the Sixers make you more nervous than the Celtics
12:17
Speaker 1: at this point, don't they?
12:18
Speaker 5: As a neutral right now? I would be rooting for
12:21
Speaker 5: Lebron to go to Philadelphia one because it makes the
12:24
Speaker 5: most sense in terms of going to a team that
12:27
Speaker 5: Lebron could be the thing that puts them over to
12:29
Speaker 5: the top and become a title contender. But also is
12:32
Speaker 5: isy that black retro seventy six ers jersey so nice
12:36
Speaker 5: would be the number one selling jersey with with twenty
12:39
Speaker 5: three James on the back.
12:40
Speaker 4: But here, here's here's my issue with Lebron and Philly. Okay,
12:44
Speaker 4: how many years have we seen Joel Embiid not end
12:49
Speaker 4: the playoffs either not in it at all healthy or
12:52
Speaker 4: not end it, you know, playing well because he's injured
12:54
Speaker 4: pretty much every single one right except for maybe nineteen
12:58
Speaker 4: if even if you have a lineup of bj Edgecombe, Tyres, Maxi,
13:03
Speaker 4: Jalen Brown, Lebron James, and Joel Embiid, that entire team's
13:07
Speaker 4: success is dependent on the health of Joel Embiid, because yeah, Maxi, Edgecombe,
13:12
Speaker 4: jb and Lebron. Nice team not going to be a
13:15
Speaker 4: favorite to run through the playoffs in next year's NBA,
13:18
Speaker 4: which is absolutely loaded. So I think, yeah, the health
13:22
Speaker 4: of Embiid. Embiid's history still has people hesitant. I think
13:25
Speaker 4: Lebron is not by any chance taking his last year
13:29
Speaker 4: potentially his last year and making it dependent on that
13:32
Speaker 4: dude's health and then dependent on Embiid and Jaylen Brown
13:36
Speaker 4: getting along Like he's already been there with brand new teams.
13:39
Speaker 4: He knows it's hard to get that chemistry that doesn't
13:41
Speaker 4: feel like they're right fit for me.
13:43
Speaker 5: They're calling hawk Porty. The Embiid insurance is that what
13:46
Speaker 5: they're calling them.
13:46
Speaker 3: Put it on the pole.
13:48
Speaker 1: I will tell you this, If I'm Lebron and I
13:50
Speaker 1: choose Philadelphia, I get together with Jalen Brown and Edgecombe
13:53
Speaker 1: and Maxie, and I tell Joel Embiid, Hey, you're good
13:56
Speaker 1: for the entire regular season. Just rest up for the postseason.
14:00
Speaker 1: We've got the regular season covered. You be healthy for
14:03
Speaker 1: the postseason. That's when we need you and Stu.
14:05
Speaker 5: Adding to that, Stephen Gansey, the brother of seventy six
14:10
Speaker 5: Ers GM, posted on Twitter a photo of his brother,
14:14
Speaker 5: the GM, Mike Gansey, and Lebron James together in high
14:17
Speaker 5: school and just tweeted it with the eyes open emotion.
14:20
Speaker 4: That's what's really gonna get Lebron nostalgic. Oh, I went
14:23
Speaker 4: to high school with this guy. Let me go play
14:24
Speaker 4: for the Sixers.
14:25
Speaker 5: So they didn't even go to high school together. They
14:26
Speaker 5: were just in a photo shoot together.
14:28
Speaker 3: That's all that matters.
14:29
Speaker 1: Yes, that's all he needs, and you would agree this
14:31
Speaker 1: GM has already done more than Darryl Mory.
14:33
Speaker 4: I mean, I will say though, getting Lebron on that
14:36
Speaker 4: team will fix the graphic that people have been running
14:39
Speaker 4: ever since the Jalen Brown trade because that one has
14:41
Speaker 4: the starters as embiid Maxi Edgecombe Brown, and Dean Wade.
14:46

15:22
Speaker 3: Play of the day.
15:22
Speaker 4: This one's courtesy of the World Cup on Fox.
15:25
Speaker 6: Nine minutes Stock. It's time to go. This one up
15:28
Speaker 6: is telling me more power. Lucandoff also is giving up
15:30
Speaker 6: the entire Rightes goal till the.
15:39
Speaker 5: States.
15:41
Speaker 3: Wow, what a goal.
15:42
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm wrapped up in the soccer like everyone else.
15:45
Speaker 1: But the play of the day should have been the
15:46
Speaker 1: Sixers GM getting Jaubert from the Celtics.
15:50
Speaker 3: I ain't know, I mean yeah.
15:52
Speaker 4: They they were reportedly trying to get rid of Paul
15:55
Speaker 4: George anyway and shop him and they would have to
15:57
Speaker 4: give up a pick to just to get rid of him.
15:59
Speaker 4: And instead you just give up one more pick and
16:01
Speaker 4: get back Jalen Brown.
16:02
Speaker 3: What a win? Yeah, Stu.
16:03
Speaker 5: Maybe my favorite reporting during this was Tom habit Strow's
16:08
Speaker 5: reporting where he said the Celtics are banking on Peyton
16:11
Speaker 5: Pritchard making a Jalen Brunson type.
16:14
Speaker 3: Leap what I'm sorry read that again? Please?
16:19
Speaker 5: What the Celtics are banking on Peyton Pritchard making a
16:24
Speaker 5: Jalen Brunson type. Per Tom Haberstrow, the exact quote is
16:29
Speaker 5: the Celtics trading Jalen Brown is a bet that Peyton
16:31
Speaker 5: Pritchard is their in house version of New York Knicks
16:35
Speaker 5: gard Jalen Brunson, a diminutive player who didn't fully show
16:39
Speaker 5: his talents until Luca was out of the picture. So,
16:41
Speaker 5: Peyton Pritchard, good luck.
16:44
Speaker 1: Being Jalen Brunson. Yes, I thought this was all about
16:46
Speaker 1: Yugo Gonzalez. I mean, change your life. Good luck selling
16:51
Speaker 1: that to your fan base. Hey, we did this trade
16:54
Speaker 1: because we believe Peyton Pritchard is going to be the
16:56
Speaker 1: next Jalen Brunson.
16:58
Speaker 4: I mean, look, nobody believed that Jalen Brunston was going
17:01
Speaker 4: to be the next Jalen Brunson. So I can't say
17:03
Speaker 4: I did. I can't say that.
17:06
Speaker 3: You know, it's impossible right, but.
17:08
Speaker 1: What what what's going on in Boston?
17:12
Speaker 4: Maybe they do have terrible uh you know, basketball ops
17:15
Speaker 4: people with terrible assessments, because what I mean this isn't
17:21
Speaker 4: even a knock on Peyton Pritchard. He is a nice player.
17:23
Speaker 4: You averaged seventeen points a game, which I never thought
17:26
Speaker 4: he'd be able to do. But did we see what
17:29
Speaker 4: Jalen Brunston just did.
17:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, go ahead, Uh, this is per Sham's too. The
17:36
Speaker 5: Celtics originally asked the Sixers for five first round picks VJ.
17:41
Speaker 5: Edgecumbe and Paul George. Oh my god, boy did they
17:46
Speaker 5: come off that price.
17:48
Speaker 4: I mean, that's time to go to work. You got
17:51
Speaker 4: to aim for the sky. But good lord, the Sixers countered,
17:55
Speaker 4: and the Celtics were like, Okay, we'll take that.
17:57
Speaker 1: Aim for the sky, but don't settle for the seal.
18:00
Speaker 1: He don't settle for the floor.
18:02
Speaker 6: Geez.
18:02
Speaker 5: When I went into negotiations with Fox Sports Radio and
18:05
Speaker 5: Steve Gotts, my original demand was five million dollars.
18:10
Speaker 4: So glad you landed on just the one. Hey have
18:17
Speaker 4: you guys seen this new proposed well it's not really
18:19
Speaker 4: a proposed rule.
18:20
Speaker 3: The NBA is gonna use it.
18:21
Speaker 4: I believe in summer league, maybe even some G league
18:23
Speaker 4: where it's the one free throw rule, where effectively it
18:26
Speaker 4: doesn't matter what shot you attempt, a two or three,
18:29
Speaker 4: you will take one free throw and it will count
18:31
Speaker 4: for two points if you shot at two, or three
18:33
Speaker 4: points if you were fouled shooting a three, And then
18:36
Speaker 4: in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter and
18:38
Speaker 4: then overtime if there is any the rules go back
18:40
Speaker 4: to normal where you have to make all the free throws.
18:42
Speaker 4: So during pressure time, right during pressure time, you make more.
18:45
Speaker 4: You have to take more free throws. To me, I
18:47
Speaker 4: don't like I really don't like this, but it's just
18:50
Speaker 4: because it messes what I'm with, what I'm familiar with,
18:52
Speaker 4: right because like, I don't really want to watch Steph
18:55
Speaker 4: Curry make two free throws. I'm pretty sure he's gonna
18:57
Speaker 4: make them both every single time, but the time that
18:59
Speaker 4: he missed is one, and then it's like a one
19:01
Speaker 4: point game down the stretch. I want to be able
19:04
Speaker 4: to say, damn, if Steph Curry would have made that
19:06
Speaker 4: free throw instead, it's one free throw could cost you
19:09
Speaker 4: three points. I think that's a little too little, too
19:12
Speaker 4: like penalizing.
19:14
Speaker 3: What would be the reason to do that just speeding
19:16
Speaker 3: up the game.
19:16
Speaker 4: It feels like it's speeding up the game. Nobody wants
19:18
Speaker 4: to see free throws. And maybe maybe could try to
19:21
Speaker 4: get people to foul to defend without fouling.
19:23
Speaker 3: I don't know.
19:24
Speaker 1: I'd be good with just giving Steph the two and
19:26
Speaker 1: moving it on, you know, like, hey, let's keep playing Steph.
19:29
Speaker 1: Those are good, Let's move it on. Yeah, speaking of
19:31
Speaker 1: moving on, I don't like that rule at all. I
19:34
Speaker 1: am excited here. By the way, Taylor Twelveman going to
19:36
Speaker 1: join us at about a half hour, ice Cube gonna
19:38
Speaker 1: join us at hour number two as well.
19:40
Speaker 3: Wimbleton is going on.
19:42
Speaker 1: I have to say it like that, Patrick McEnroe, do
19:44
Speaker 1: you find yourself saying Wimbleton as a guy from Long
19:47
Speaker 1: Island and.
19:48
Speaker 6: Absolutely never I'm I'm glad you got that right.
19:52
Speaker 7: I had to correct Anderson Cooper once on CNN because
19:55
Speaker 7: in the commercial he said Wimbleton, and I said, Anderson, listen,
19:58
Speaker 7: I'm not going to tell you your business anything, but
20:00
Speaker 7: I want you to get.
20:01
Speaker 6: This right, okay, And He's like, I'm not a big
20:04
Speaker 6: sports fan.
20:05
Speaker 7: I get it, but I know you are s two guys.
20:07
Speaker 7: I know You're a big golfer and a big mad
20:09
Speaker 7: dog guy. I love listening to you with the mad Dog.

Speaker 7: This year your picks were horrendous, but I love listening
20:16
Speaker 7: to you every week with Dog.
20:17
Speaker 6: Loved it.
20:18
Speaker 3: Patrick, I was like, fourteen games above five hundred.
20:21
Speaker 6: I mean that's pretty good. I can give it. I
20:24
Speaker 6: give you your props on that.
20:25
Speaker 7: I just love the Dog getting on you about your

Speaker 7: golf and are you gonna.
20:30
Speaker 6: Watch this game? How could you not watch this? You
20:32
Speaker 6: know he gives it.
20:33
Speaker 7: He gives me the same shit, like, how come you
20:35
Speaker 7: can you're not watching this game?
20:37
Speaker 6: Well you're not a sports fan. Oh yes I am,
20:39
Speaker 6: but I'm not insane like you.
20:42
Speaker 1: The Championships Wimble Dunn continues through July twelfth, with daily
20:47
Speaker 1: live coverage on ESPN, ESPN deportees at streaming live on
20:51
Speaker 1: the ESPN app. Patrick, do you find, like, listen, any
20:56
Speaker 1: other year, this would be the center of everyone's attention
20:59
Speaker 1: in London in England? Do you find like maybe they're
21:02
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit focused on Harry Kane and
21:05
Speaker 1: the World Cup and not as much on the tennis
21:07
Speaker 1: that's being played right now.
21:08
Speaker 7: Well, I got to tell you, the crowds of Wimbledon
21:11
Speaker 7: have been unbelievable.
21:12
Speaker 6: But I hear you because I was watching. I was
21:15
Speaker 6: riveted to the England.
21:16
Speaker 7: Game because actually, yesterday, guys, yesterday it was my sixtieth birthday.
21:19
Speaker 3: Wow, happy birthday.
21:20
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, but I appreciate that.
21:23
Speaker 7: So ESPN was nice enough to let me, you know,
21:25
Speaker 7: work eleven to four, leave a little bit early because
21:28
Speaker 7: my wife came over, two of my three daughters, so
21:30
Speaker 7: she put a nice dinner together for me. But we
21:33
Speaker 7: were going to this restaurant in Chelsea where I stay about,
21:35
Speaker 7: you know, halfway between London and Wimbledon is.
21:39
Speaker 6: Where I stay.
21:40
Speaker 7: And we found this nice, little local place, so they
21:43
Speaker 7: hooked us up.
21:43
Speaker 6: They took care of us.
21:44
Speaker 7: But I said, if England lose it, it's just gonna
21:46
Speaker 7: be everyone's gonna be so bummed.
21:48
Speaker 3: So I was.
21:48
Speaker 7: Watching the game, and you know, obviously they scored. Harry
21:51
Speaker 7: Kane scored the two late goals.
21:52
Speaker 6: And everybody was like, so oh, everybody's in a great mood.
21:55
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, thank god they won because if they lost,
21:58
Speaker 6: this would have been a nightmare tonight.
22:00
Speaker 7: And then I watched a Belgium Senegal game, which is incredible.
22:03
Speaker 7: I'm big too, I'm glad you have Taylor coming up
22:06
Speaker 7: in the next half hour because I love the World Cup.
22:10
Speaker 7: I'm you know, I'm someone that's traveled the world playing
22:13
Speaker 7: tennis for my whole life, so coming to Europe as
22:16
Speaker 7: often as I have, you know, soccer is obviously the
22:18
Speaker 7: king over here.
22:20
Speaker 6: And I'm not going to say I followed the Premier.
22:21
Speaker 7: League or La Liga, you know, religiously like I do
22:24
Speaker 7: the NFL to the NBA.
22:26
Speaker 6: There's almost a goal for Spain. I'm watching Spain Austria.
22:29
Speaker 3: I love it.
22:29
Speaker 7: But I love the World Cup and I love what
22:32
Speaker 7: Team USA is doing because they actually look like they
22:36
Speaker 7: actually know how to play football or soccer as we
22:39
Speaker 7: call it. Yes, they're organized, right, well, they're organized and
22:42
Speaker 7: they have some skill player right. I can actually you know,
22:46
Speaker 7: control the ball, make passes. Look like they're like a
22:51
Speaker 7: real European type South American club.
22:54
Speaker 6: So I'm loving it.
22:55
Speaker 7: Belgium is going to be I said it to beginning
22:58
Speaker 7: to this tournament World Cup. I know we're supposed to
23:01
Speaker 7: be talking well, but I'm supposed.
23:02
Speaker 3: To be promoted. We'll get there, We'll get we'll get
23:04
Speaker 3: to that.
23:05
Speaker 6: But I love what the team US say is doing.
23:07
Speaker 7: And I said, I felt as a fan of US
23:10
Speaker 7: soccer that they have to at least get to the
23:12
Speaker 7: quarterfinals to make this successful. So I think that this
23:16
Speaker 7: game coming up.
23:17
Speaker 6: I don't know what the odds say. If we're the
23:19
Speaker 6: favorite of this, I would say Belgium is probably the
23:21
Speaker 6: slight favorite.
23:22
Speaker 7: But the way the US is playing has been very
23:25
Speaker 7: impressive throughout the tournament.
23:26
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like Patrick, It's basically, you know, over the years,
23:29
Speaker 4: there's always been one, maybe two players you would watch,
23:32
Speaker 4: right like oh, Landon Donovan or oh Brian McBride or
23:35
Speaker 4: oh Clint Dempsey. But now you watch all these guys
23:37
Speaker 4: and it's just like it feels like they have all
23:39
Speaker 4: the elements. They have multiple guys who are not just
23:42
Speaker 4: fast athletic, but can handle the ball well and just
23:44
Speaker 4: see and then they got the one touch passing stuff
23:46
Speaker 4: where it feels like the chemistry is all there. We've
23:48
Speaker 4: never seen it from the US before. It always feels
23:51
Speaker 4: like the perfect time, it's a home World Cup for
23:53
Speaker 4: them to sort of unveil this style, right.
23:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, it's it's it's it's amazing because.
23:58
Speaker 7: They actually look like they know where they're doing and
24:00
Speaker 7: you know, in the past, we would be kind of
24:02
Speaker 7: rough and tumble. We played tough defense, yeah, but we
24:05
Speaker 7: didn't have really the skilled players in the middle of
24:07
Speaker 7: the field and then up front. So we got we
24:09
Speaker 7: have a nice mix of all players that can actually
24:12
Speaker 7: play at all parts of the field.
24:13
Speaker 6: So I'm loving it. All right. We did enough soccer
24:16
Speaker 6: because I'm a huge but.
24:17
Speaker 7: Let's get into Wimbledon, because I think this has been
24:20
Speaker 7: an interesting first few days.
24:22
Speaker 6: I mean, the Serena thing was big early.
24:24
Speaker 7: I thought she played actually pretty damn well that in
24:28
Speaker 7: that match on center court, actually sat there, believe it
24:31
Speaker 7: or not.
24:31
Speaker 6: Guys, I got my first invite ever to.
24:34
Speaker 3: The Royal Box.
24:35
Speaker 6: Okay, wow, which I don't know how that happened.
24:38
Speaker 7: Maybe because I'm buddies with Tim Henman and he's a
24:40
Speaker 7: big sort of committee guy at the club, and we
24:43
Speaker 7: were talking at the French Open and we were just
24:45
Speaker 7: riffing on stuff and he said, we were talking about
24:47
Speaker 7: the Royal.
24:48
Speaker 6: Box and I said, you know, I've never been there.
24:49
Speaker 7: I've never been in the Royal Box. So next thing
24:51
Speaker 7: I know, like a week later, after the French Open ended,
24:54
Speaker 7: I get it. He goes, oh, check your email, you
24:55
Speaker 7: got an invite so I was there. But anyway, I
24:58
Speaker 7: was there for the first match Fiantech, her first match.
25:01
Speaker 7: Then I went down and called the match with my
25:03
Speaker 7: brother for ESPN, and ESPN was cool.
25:06
Speaker 6: They said go, you know, go to the Royal Box, and.
25:08
Speaker 7: Then I went back to watch Serena because I'm like,
25:11
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go check this out. And Serena, I thought,
25:15
Speaker 7: was actually hit.
25:16
Speaker 6: The ball pretty well. The serve was very good, I thought. Now,
25:20
Speaker 6: the movement obviously was not great, and she's forty four.
25:23
Speaker 6: The movement wasn't.
25:24
Speaker 7: Great by the way when she retired four years ago,
25:27
Speaker 7: and that was to be expected.
25:29
Speaker 6: But I thought she hit the ball extremely well.
25:33
Speaker 7: And you know, the fact that she was able to
25:35
Speaker 7: go out there and play at a pretty high level
25:39
Speaker 7: in her first match in four years and singles was
25:42
Speaker 7: pretty darn impressive. But I don't really know why she
25:45
Speaker 7: came back other than she she just wanted to maybe
25:48
Speaker 7: test herself, have her kid see her play. I mean,
25:51
Speaker 7: she's the greatest of all time as far as I'm
25:53
Speaker 7: concerned on the women's side, But to see her do
25:56
Speaker 7: that and come back and play at a pretty high
25:58
Speaker 7: level I thought was pretty dark.
26:00
Speaker 3: Do you think we'll see more.
26:03
Speaker 6: I think we will.
26:04
Speaker 7: I think she'll probably try to play some this summer
26:07
Speaker 7: in a in a tournament or two, and then try
26:10
Speaker 7: to play in New York at the US Open.
26:11
Speaker 6: And I don't think she's coming.
26:12
Speaker 7: Back just to do like a one off, right, you know,
26:15
Speaker 7: obviously there's some issue apparently.
26:17
Speaker 6: With the knee once she uh you know.
26:19
Speaker 7: Didn't come to the press, which I thought was a mistake.
26:22
Speaker 7: She should have come to the press, even if she
26:24
Speaker 7: nicked up her knee a little bit. You know, you're
26:26
Speaker 7: going out there, you're Serena Williams, are creating a lot
26:28
Speaker 7: of buzz, but you mean.
26:30
Speaker 6: Come to the press conference, you know, talk to the press.
26:33
Speaker 6: I thought that was not a great move out of her.
26:36
Speaker 7: But I hope she's gonna play the doubles. I haven't
26:39
Speaker 7: heard officially. I think I heard just such. The plan
26:42
Speaker 7: is for her and Venus to play.
26:44
Speaker 6: But I haven't heard that officially yet. But I do
26:47
Speaker 6: think she'll try to play again this summer.
26:49
Speaker 1: Yes, Patrick, if the only reason she came back was
26:52
Speaker 1: so her daughter could see how beloved she is, how
26:55
Speaker 1: great she once was, how great she still is, that's
26:58
Speaker 1: a pretty damn good reason it Because I found myself,
27:01
Speaker 1: hitting emotional and having goosebumps during that, you know, yeah
27:04
Speaker 1: yeah yeah.
27:05
Speaker 6: By the way, Spain just scored so one nil.
27:07
Speaker 3: You're trying to get me to do tennis.
27:09
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, no, no, no, no no. I think that's a
27:12
Speaker 6: great reason to come back.
27:13
Speaker 7: And you know, she's done everything there is to do
27:16
Speaker 7: right as a tennis player. Yes, so more power to
27:19
Speaker 7: her to come back and play and to play a
27:22
Speaker 7: very competitive match.
27:23
Speaker 6: I mean, I don't care who you are.
27:25
Speaker 7: Okay to come out there after not having played the
27:28
Speaker 7: match for four years and walk out on center court
27:32
Speaker 7: at Wimbledon, okay and play. You know, most players are
27:35
Speaker 7: going to go and play a couple of tune up tournaments.
27:37
Speaker 6: Let me see how I feel, Let me see how
27:39
Speaker 6: I do. Do I get the rust off?
27:41
Speaker 7: I mean, she played two doubles matches, So that shows
27:46
Speaker 7: you the heart that she has and what a champion's
27:49
Speaker 7: that she could go out there and play a darn
27:51
Speaker 7: good match against a player who.
27:54
Speaker 6: You know wasn't even born when Serena was winning her
27:56
Speaker 6: first major. So I think it was awesome. I do
28:00
Speaker 6: you think that on the women's side.
28:02
Speaker 7: You know, you've got quite a few American women with
28:05
Speaker 7: a shot to do well.
28:06
Speaker 6: Madison keys I did her match today.
28:08
Speaker 7: Jess Pagoula, Amanda av I did her match also today.
28:13
Speaker 6: She got to the final last year.
28:15
Speaker 7: Men, you got Taylor Fritz, you got Francis Tiafu, who
28:18
Speaker 7: I just finished watching. So we got a lot of
28:21
Speaker 7: stories on the men's side from an American standpoint that
28:24
Speaker 7: could possibly make some noise. But the bottom line is
28:27
Speaker 7: a favorite of the men's side is still Yanick Sinner,
28:29
Speaker 7: the number one seeds defending champ Alcarez is out of course.
28:33
Speaker 6: As we all know. So that kind of opens the.
28:35
Speaker 7: Door for a few other players to think, you know,
28:39
Speaker 7: maybe I could get to the final this semi final,
28:42
Speaker 7: like a Fritz, like a Tiafo. But if something happens
28:45
Speaker 7: to Sinner, like what happened in Paris where the heat
28:48
Speaker 7: got to him, who knows. So I think it makes
28:52
Speaker 7: for a little more intrigue about who's going to actually
28:55
Speaker 7: be holding up the trophy at the end of this
28:58
Speaker 7: wimble done.
28:59
Speaker 3: For well done.
29:01
Speaker 1: If I tell you someone other than Sinner is going
29:03
Speaker 1: to win Wimbledon, you would tell me who Who's it
29:06
Speaker 1: gonna be?
29:07
Speaker 7: Well, Djokovic looked amazing last night against Citzepez.
29:10
Speaker 6: I mean straight set win for him.
29:12
Speaker 7: So he's in the same half of the draw as Sinner,
29:14
Speaker 7: So they're due to me if it happens in the semifinals.
29:18
Speaker 7: So he's the second favorite at the moment. But the
29:20
Speaker 7: bottom half of the draw, you've got Alexander Zurerev, who
29:23
Speaker 7: just won his first major. He looked good today, He's
29:26
Speaker 7: never been a great grass court player. You've got, you know,
29:30
Speaker 7: guys like min Chic and that half of the draw,
29:32
Speaker 7: you've got who made the semis of the French. As
29:35
Speaker 7: I said, you've got Taylor Fritz, Francis Tafo, Tiafle It's
29:38
Speaker 7: got to play.
29:39
Speaker 6: A Bublik next.
29:39
Speaker 7: So there's there's a bunch of guys in that half
29:42
Speaker 7: of the draw that are looking at this, guys as
29:45
Speaker 7: this is an unbelievable opportunity, you know, to make a
29:48
Speaker 7: major final.
29:49
Speaker 6: For Taylor Fritz, he's been in a US Open final,
29:51
Speaker 6: he's been in the Wimbledon semi.
29:53
Speaker 7: You could certainly make the argument that he tiafo Or,
29:59
Speaker 7: you know, maybe the two the best grass court plays
30:01
Speaker 7: you got Demonor or the Australian and there so all
30:03
Speaker 7: these guys are thinking to themselves, this is my chance.
30:07
Speaker 7: But if Center's playing at the top of his game, right,
30:09
Speaker 7: he's a huge favorite.
30:11
Speaker 6: But here's the thing.
30:12
Speaker 7: In the first two matches thus far, he has not
30:14
Speaker 7: been at the top of his game.
30:16
Speaker 6: He's looked a little rusty.
30:17
Speaker 7: He's making more mistakes, so that I think gives hope
30:20
Speaker 7: for the other players.
30:21
Speaker 6: In the locker room.
30:22
Speaker 7: That wait a second, even if I'm in the section
30:25
Speaker 7: of the draw with Center, maybe I've got a shot
30:27
Speaker 7: because he doesn't look as dominant. It's early only to
30:30
Speaker 7: the first two rounds for him, as he did last
30:32
Speaker 7: year at this same juncture of the tournament.
30:34
Speaker 5: Patrick Wimbledon is a bucket list sporting event for so
30:37
Speaker 5: many fans. If someone is going for the first time,
30:40
Speaker 5: what would be your best advice for getting the most
30:42
Speaker 5: out of the experience?
30:43
Speaker 3: Question?
30:44
Speaker 6: Uh, get a.
30:45
Speaker 7: Ticket, you know, get a ticket to Center. Actually, one
30:47
Speaker 7: of my best buddies was here and I used to
30:49
Speaker 7: be able to get tickets like for these events, for
30:51
Speaker 7: the us O Open, like no problem. Now it's like
30:53
Speaker 7: impossible really to get tickets for Center Corp for court one.
30:58
Speaker 7: So I said, you get what you call it grounds, okay, which.
31:00
Speaker 6: Means you can go in, get in and go all.
31:03
Speaker 7: The outer court. It's so crowded now, guys at all
31:06
Speaker 7: the majors. I mean, I know you're talking about the
31:08
Speaker 7: World Cup and we're like, hey, is tennis getting a
31:10
Speaker 7: lot of attention in the media at whatever. When you
31:14
Speaker 7: go on the grounds at Wimbledon, you can't move basically,
31:18
Speaker 7: same with the Australian this year. Same at the French Open.
31:21
Speaker 7: It'll be the same at the US Open. So these
31:24
Speaker 7: events are like bigger than they've ever been from a
31:26
Speaker 7: spectator standpoint. So what I would tell someone is do
31:30
Speaker 7: whatever you can do to try to get a center
31:32
Speaker 7: court ticket. Get there early because the center court matches
31:36
Speaker 7: you begin normally at one thirty pm.
31:38
Speaker 6: The outer court start at eleven am. And I was
31:42
Speaker 6: out there.
31:42
Speaker 7: I had to scramble to get a ground spass for
31:45
Speaker 7: my daughter yesterday, one of my daughters. So I go out,
31:48
Speaker 7: I'd give her the ticket and the lines are like
31:51
Speaker 7: unbelievable just to get in right. They don't open the
31:54
Speaker 7: gates literally at ten am. Precisely, this is what you
31:58
Speaker 7: love about Wimbledon, the tradition, the attention to detail.
32:02
Speaker 6: Ten am, those beautiful gates open and I sell them. Okay,
32:06
Speaker 6: now we can go in.
32:07
Speaker 7: You know, I got my credentials, so I can go
32:08
Speaker 7: in like the line for people that have credentials. But
32:11
Speaker 7: I would tell someone if look, this is what I'll say.
32:15
Speaker 7: My favorite tournament now to go to and attendant is
32:17
Speaker 7: a tennis versus the Australian Open. But if you're a
32:21
Speaker 7: tennis fan and you have the chance to go to
32:24
Speaker 7: one day at one tournament, I would say, go to
32:27
Speaker 7: Wimbledon because Wimbledon is unique. It's like the Masters of tennis,
32:32
Speaker 7: the Masters in the golf tournament obviously for tennis, and
32:35
Speaker 7: the tradition. You know, the history, the beauty, all that,
32:39
Speaker 7: the beautiful grass courts.
32:41
Speaker 6: But if you go get there early, get there.
32:43
Speaker 7: At nine am, if you have a ticket, and get
32:46
Speaker 7: in and walk the ground, see the outer court. Wimbledon's
32:49
Speaker 7: still one of the few places in tennis well you
32:52
Speaker 7: can actually stand by the court and watch a match,
32:56
Speaker 7: sit on a bench.
32:57
Speaker 6: They have these old wooden benches. You literally can sit there.
33:00
Speaker 7: Now, you got to get there early to get to
33:02
Speaker 7: get those. Do you guys realize you guys may not know.
33:05
Speaker 7: I'm sure you don't know this. Back in the day,
33:08
Speaker 7: a part of Center Court was standing room only. Okay,
33:13
Speaker 7: So you literally there's a whole section of like a
33:15
Speaker 7: few hundred seats where if you had just a pass
33:18
Speaker 7: to get in.
33:19
Speaker 6: You would people would wait all night.
33:21
Speaker 7: They'd wait in line, and then it would sprint when
33:24
Speaker 7: the gates opened to get into center court to get
33:27
Speaker 7: standing room tickets.
33:29
Speaker 6: And then of course it's the soccer games.
33:30
Speaker 3: Over the years, they know.
33:31
Speaker 7: Had issues people getting trampled and so on, so they change.
33:34
Speaker 6: The laws in England.
33:35
Speaker 7: This is like thirty forty years ago, but I remember
33:38
Speaker 7: back in the day when my brother was playing, for example,
33:40
Speaker 7: against Borg, they were like people standing there and they
33:44
Speaker 7: would wait all night to get there.
33:45
Speaker 6: So it's Wimbledon still.
33:46
Speaker 7: That's a combination of the traditions of what's made in
33:50
Speaker 7: great but also adapting to the modern age with electronic
33:53
Speaker 7: line calling, with the beautiful scoreboards you know, et cetera,
33:57
Speaker 7: et cetera. But they still have that amazing mix. I
33:59
Speaker 7: think I've never been to the Masters, but that's what
34:01
Speaker 7: I've heard. They are able to do it with the
34:03
Speaker 7: Masters as well.
34:04
Speaker 1: On the way out here, quickly, what did your brother
34:06
Speaker 1: get you for your sixtieth birthday?
34:09
Speaker 7: You know he actually showed up because he was calling
34:12
Speaker 7: this is a This is an epic Johnny Mack. Okay,
34:15
Speaker 7: he was calling the sits a Pass Djokovic match, which
34:19
Speaker 7: went late because it went into the night, so it
34:21
Speaker 7: was like ten ten thirty. My party started like seven thirty,
34:25
Speaker 7: and you know, we had.
34:26
Speaker 6: Dinner at eight thirty.
34:27
Speaker 7: And Johnny Mack he was doing it with Mike Monico
34:30
Speaker 7: and Andy Roddick.
34:31
Speaker 6: He's been an amazing addition to our team this year.
34:34
Speaker 7: And when Djokovic broke for the second time in the
34:37
Speaker 7: third set, so he was up two sets to love,
34:40
Speaker 7: only Johnny mackuld.
34:42
Speaker 6: Say, guys, I'm out of here. I'm leaving.
34:45

36:24
Speaker 4: STU got some company national radio show brought to you
36:26
Speaker 4: by fan Duel, America's number one sportsbook.
36:29
Speaker 3: It is a think about it Thursday.
36:31
Speaker 1: Here Taylor twelve minu is going to join us in
36:33
Speaker 1: about ten minutes. Ice Cube going to join us at
36:36
Speaker 1: around four twenty five. Taylor twelve minut ice Cube at
36:38
Speaker 1: Patrick McEnroe, what a collection of guess that is? Huh,
36:41
Speaker 1: let's think about it?
36:42
Speaker 3: Is he? What are we thinking about today at the imaging.
36:46
Speaker 6: You know that segment?
36:48
Speaker 2: Talk about it Tuesday on Hawkman Crowder in Soleiro this
36:51
Speaker 2: is like that but bigger, bigger and better better, And
36:56
Speaker 2: forty eight hours later, this is than cut it.
37:00
Speaker 6: Thursday.
37:02
Speaker 4: We got about full sixty seconds to think about this,
37:04
Speaker 4: all right, America, I know too much. We're heading into
37:07
Speaker 4: Independence Day okay, and please let's just call it Independence
37:11
Speaker 4: Day because it is not America's birthday.
37:13
Speaker 3: This drives me crazy.
37:15
Speaker 4: Just because you declared independence on July fourth, seventeen seventy
37:19
Speaker 4: six does not me and you became independent that happened
37:22
Speaker 4: in September third, seventeen eighty three, after they signed the
37:24
Speaker 4: Treaty of Paris. This is effectively saying somebody's birthday is
37:28
Speaker 4: when their parents started trying to have a baby. Okay,
37:31
Speaker 4: because it could have been in somewhere in between seventeen
37:34
Speaker 4: seventy six and seventeen eighty three. There were a couple
37:36
Speaker 4: dicey situations where we might not have even won that
37:39
Speaker 4: revolutionary war.
37:40
Speaker 3: But because we claimed it.
37:42
Speaker 4: On the July fourth, seventeen seventy six, we celebrate that
37:44
Speaker 4: as our independence.
37:46
Speaker 3: That does not make sense to me. So the third
37:48
Speaker 3: of September is the fourth of July.
37:50
Speaker 4: The third of September is the fourth of July. Yes, huh, do.
37:54
Speaker 3: We get the day off?
37:55
Speaker 4: I would hope, so Treaty of Paris Day. Let's call
37:58
Speaker 4: it Happy Independence Day everyone.

38:03

40:15
Speaker 5: time Timothy Shallowmey wins an award?

41:10
Speaker 3: of stuff.

Speaker 5: Is DeAndre Eaton just a second round flyer undrafted?
41:19
Speaker 3: Maybe what a draft that was?
41:21
Speaker 1: He was the number one pick in that draft? Is
41:24
Speaker 1: he started to do a redraft? Who was number one
41:26
Speaker 1: in your redraft? Do you remember? I think it was

42:03
Speaker 4: because if the only cookies you get is the cookie cake,
42:06
Speaker 4: then you're just like, wow, this is amazing. But if
42:08
Speaker 4: you have actual cookies and you have actual cake, but
42:10
Speaker 4: you settle for cookie cake, not the same.

Speaker 3: We're talking about that giant cookie with frosting.
42:16
Speaker 1: On it, right, yeah, the chocolate chip cookies yet, right
42:19
Speaker 1: that you cut little slices. Of course it's not. It's delightful.
42:23
Speaker 1: How are we divided on this?
42:25
Speaker 3: I mean, to America, I don't know. He doesn't like
42:27
Speaker 3: a cookie cake?
42:29
Speaker 5: Is saying a team will want to play well the
42:32
Speaker 5: worst gambling advice ever.
42:33
