  Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome. It's our number three. A belly bomb
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: over the weekend is Cody Bellinger, former National League MVP
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: back in his Dodger days. Cody Bellinger ends up back
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: with the Cubbies. And who won the standoff that spilled
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: into spring training? Does the MLBPA the Players Association have
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a case against the Twins for announcing they weren't going
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: to sign any of these big name free agents. One
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of the big shots for the team said that last week.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And who is responsible for the Major League Baseball uniforms
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: having smaller names and numbers? The answer will surprise you.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: We'll tell you the answer. We'll get to that and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: much more right now on a windy kind of a day.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Unless it's not it's our number three.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Oh what is going on? Welcome in hope. Your Thursday
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: is off to a fantastic start. I just peaked at
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: X right now. I got to give a shout out
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to Keith. I do like this starting off this hour
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in style here Loraina, he wrote in and and just
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: wrote I don't know who said ooh, I love squirt.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: But if that isn't saved as a drop, you should
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: all turn off your MIC's and go home, is what
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Keith says.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Right there as a drop not.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Saving that well, Keith thinks that you should turn off
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: the mics and go home right now. I'm sure some
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: other people tunerty right there.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: It was not long enough. I turned it off for
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: two seconds.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Who's you turned your own mic off for two.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You off too? I don't know what you said?
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Are you serious? It wasn't on huh. I was just
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: talking to myself off. Wow, you are unhinged tonight. I
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what has gotten into you. I don't know
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: if there was something in the squirt soda that you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: drank through you are. You are in rarefied air. I've
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: never seen this version of you ever before.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: It's even caffeine free.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: Wow. Yeah, we got a couple other tweets here. This
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: is a real one. This sounds like it's manufactured. Almost
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: sounds like it's from my burner account, which I don't have.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But at next Year Cubs eleven, he tweeted. In listening
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to the pod, I'm with No on the Blake versus
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and debate, but it's splitting hairs. Lorena needs to watch
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Accepted and she'll switch sides. You think about that?
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I will watch accepted because I love Blake Lively, but
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: I still think that Anne Hathaway is Woman of the
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Year beautiful.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: That's crazy. That's that's crazy. Like she is beautiful, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: that Woman of the Year beautiful, That's that's too much. Keith, Oh, Brandon,
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: we were getting along so well. We're talking about football.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We're both like, I don't know about hockey. It's it's
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: a it's a great sport. This doesn't really do it
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: for us, you know, and then you bring this to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the table. How how crazy of you to just you
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: didn't keep it to yourself either. You know, things were
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: going so you know, like when you go out with
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: someone and things are going well enough where you're like, yeah,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna bring this up. It's gonna lead to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: something that you know, you just threw it out there,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: threw it out there. You like Anne more than Blake
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: because it's not a fact. It's it's a it's an
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: opinion of people that have bad eyesight, that's what it is.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Or or or or that put too much on the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the talent. They put too much on the talent of uh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: He does he does think that Anne Hathaway is considered
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: more beautiful because she's more talented and in more movies,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: she's more popular right now, It's.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Just it's the lame way to look at it. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: I think her all around natural beauty is just top tier.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you guys, I don't know. There's some people that
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: think that you guys are wrong. I don't know what
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: to tell you. Keith checked in and he wrote about
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: last night's show. This version of Hollerin James sounds like
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: a pulsating blender. I kind of like that description. This
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: is a pretty good description of of our guy, Hollerin James.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: He fell asleep when dialing in last night. So there
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: you go. You're all caught up on X. We'll have
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: more tweets for you as we go on into the
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: early morning hours. Now, there is something real I do
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: want to talk about here because I saw a tweet
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and I saw some of the comments on the tweet,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and I'm like this, this is getting crazy and crazier
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: and crazier. So there was a tweet by brick Center
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and Noy tweet videos and random things from time to time,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: and it's just one of the things that pops up
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: on my feet and the tweet just wrote. The tweet
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: was captioned Caitlin Clark's own coach is standing up for
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Alica Thomas. And so it's got a video attached of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the head coach of the Indiana Fever. This is Stephanie
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: White and she was backing up Alica Thomas, who is
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: getting death threats. Now. By the way, So brief backstory,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: so we're all on the same page, all right. The
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: backstory is the Phoenix Mercury and the WNBA. They played
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever on June twenty second. This is almost
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a week and a half ago, all right. They played
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: each other on June twenty second. Fever won the game.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: It was a chippy game. Caitlin Clark picked up a
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: technical file. She was clapping Sophie Cunningham. She was pointing
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: at Dewana Bonner. Dewana Bonner didn't like it became a
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: whole thing bunch of memes. You might have seen that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: on your feed. It was a chippy game. It was feisty. Okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So that was the first installment. Two nights later they
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: played again. This was June twenty fourth. This was last Wednesday,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: so it's a week ago. Okay, this has gone on
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: all week. What happened in that game is that Alica
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Thomas need Caitlin Clark, and Alica Thomas put her fist
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: on Caitlin Clark's throat. There was no foul call during
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: the game, but afterward the WNBA they reviewed the play
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: and they suspended Alica Thomas for one game. Now, Alica
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Thomas is getting death threats since that happened, so I
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: believe you're all caught up. We get back to the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: tweet I saw before the show this Evening Brick Center,
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark's own coach is standing up for Alica Thomas again.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Elicit Thomas is receiving death threats. So this is the
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Indiana Fever head coach, Stephanie White saying that's ridiculous. Here's
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Stephanie before we start with questions. You know, I just
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: want to address.
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: You know, what's going on with at you know, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: think and foremost it's absolutely unacceptable. You know, I think
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: as a league, as a whole, there's been so much
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: more toxicity, racism, homophobia, straight out like nonsense, hate, nonsense,
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: and it's it is absolutely unacceptable.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Okay, So she speaks about it, and she talks about
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Alicia Thomas and all of those things. So the first
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: comment I see on this tweet, it's from Diversity and Dragons, Okay,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: and it just it's it reads talking about Stephanie White,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: her response to Caitlin Clark getting brutalized two words, that's unacceptable,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: her response to the perpetrator who made up a lie
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: about death threats a four minutes soliloquy clown coach for
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a clown league. And it's just like, oh my gosh,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: let's just pause for a second. Okay, let's just pause
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: and be reasonable here. Because I thought of the movie Gone,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Baby Gone. Maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't. There's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: a great moment in the movie Ed Harris, who is
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: in that movie and does a great job. He has
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: a classic line. I love this line and we apply
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: it to our lives the sports world all the time.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Is what Ed Harris said. You gotta take a sign,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: You gotta take a side. That's what we're seeing with
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: this Caitlin Clark versus Elicit Thomas whole thing. Whose side
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: are you on? Are your team, Caitlin? Are your team?
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Alicit Thomas? You gotta take a side. You gotta take
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a sign, right, which side. Here's the thing, this is
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: what gets twisted all the time. I want you to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: listen to this. I want you to remember this. It's
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: not about the sides that we think matter but don't.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Is it. Are you on the black side or you
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: on the white side? Are you on the straight side,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: or are you on the gay side on this issue?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Are you Republican side or are you the Democrat side?
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: The two sides that matter more than any of those
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: other sides, the sides of right or wrong. Those are
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: the sides you should be focused on, and that gets
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: lost in the shuffle all the time. Just like this
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark versus Alyica Thomas side. This is how I
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: think of it. Okay, I'm not on Caitlin side or
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Alica Thomas's side. I go case by case in this
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: whole thing. Let's break it down. So Caitlin Clark, she
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: gets need by Alica Thomas. Alica Thomas puts her fist
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: on Caitlin's throat and you know, kind of like uses
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Caitlyn's throat to help her get up. I'll do a
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: show on Sunday Mornings with Jeff Schwartz, who's a former
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman in the NFL, and he's like, that's what
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: we did. We didn't like someone we were trying to block.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: You know, you kind of just use your fist and
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: punch them in the face or use their throat to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: help you get up, you know, like stabilize your balance.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Wink wink, you know, nudge nudge quotes in the air, right, Like,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that's what it was. That was a football move. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I don't think Alyssa Thomas is a cheap player at all.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I love Alyssa Thomas. I've won many prop bets thanks
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: to Alyssa Thomas. But that was a cheap shot. You
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: don't have to be a cheap player to deliver a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: cheap shot. You could be a player who is a
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: cheap but you just delivered a cheap shot. That's what
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that was. That was a cheap shot. So Alica Thomas
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: was not whistled for a file, no technical, no nothing.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That is a text book flagrant two textbook. It was
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: a necessary and it was excessive. She should have been
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: ejected that game. She wasn't. The WNBA reviewed it and
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: they suspended her. That was the right conclusion. If anything,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the suspension should have been longer. But to debate. This
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: is if there shouldn't have been a suspension at all?
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Is crazy? That is a textbook flagrant two. And the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: least that should have happened was that Alica Thomas was
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: suspended for one game. Now, that to me is just
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: what's the right or wrong conclusion? I thought the end
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: that WNBA got that right. Now we move forward, there
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: are a lot of people that are trying to stick
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: up for Caitlin Clark because of this whole fiasco, which
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: if you're just talking about the suspension, I guess that's fine.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: But beyond that, now there are all these people that
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: are tweeting mean, nasty, horrible things at Alysa Thomas slurs,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: she says she's getting death threats. I doubt that she
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: would make that up. Can you, you know, close your
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: eyes in envision some unhinged Yahoo writing a death threat
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: at Alsa Thomas. Yeah, I could imagine that. I know
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of pushback, a lot of flak, of
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: lot of evil negative stuff. Is that okay? Should is
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that legit? Should we tolerate that? No, that's wrong. So
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: even if you're sticking up for Caitlin Clark and saying
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Alsa Thomas should have been suspended for that. Let's be reasonable.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: You don't have to then be well, I guess I'm
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: team Caitlin. If I'm team Caitlin saying Alyssa Thomas should
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: have been suspended. Ahi, guys, I gotta be Team Caitlyn.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: All across the board, No, no, no, no again, back,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: get back to the right sides, right or wrong. It
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: is wrong for people to take it to the nth
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: degree and lash out at Alsa Thomas with all of
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: this unnecessary negativity, and far beyond that, that is wrong.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Anybody pushing back on that is also wrong. So don't
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: lose sight of right or wrong. That happens so often
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: in the sports world, happens so often in our lives.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: You get like this politically charged topic, a topic that
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: involves race, what have you, and all of a sudden,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: people just go back. They go to their the wrong sides,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: like I gotta be team I gotta be Team Democrat here,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: I gotta be team Republican. I gota be down with
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: my click on this one. It's wrong. Don't lose sight
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: of just right or wrong. That'll help you out more
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: than anything as you navigate through this stuff and look,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: this whole issue it just keeps going and going. It's
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the energizer Bunny of issues Right now, it's insane, Like
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: there are some of these comments. This whole Caitlin Clark
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: thing is making some really smart people throw out some
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: incredibly dumb takes. A couple did you see this one?
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Emmanuel Acho, who again, very smart dude. He was on speakeasy.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: He's talking about Caitlyn Clark. It started with this Alica
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Thomas thing, and this is his takeaway. Here you go,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: The W at.
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: This junction in time would be better without Caitlyn Clark
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: because she is a bigger distraction than she is an additive.
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: Caitlin Clark has gotten the WNBA over the necessary threshold
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: they needed. Now people are watching, now we realize, oh,
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: there's talent in the W, talent that's actually even greater
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: than Kaitlyn Clark. And I'm not just talking about bigs
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: like Asia. I'm talking about the Olivia Miles, I'm talking
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: about the Page beckers Hell, I'm talking about the Kelsey Mitchells.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Caitlin got the necessary eyes.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: There, but now that the eyes are there, we don't
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: necessarily need her anymore.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: My gosh, it's one of the worst takes. I've ever
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: heard in my life that guy is too smart to
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: say something that dumb. Again, I don't know what it
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: is with Caitlyn Clark. It's like the kryptonite for logic
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: with a lot of people. Man Like I saw a
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: tweet Doug Gottlieb. He a former host of Fox Sports
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Radio Run You Do. I've heard that, right, big fan
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: of Doug like that it's good. But he tweeted, he
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: quote tweeted the video of uh, you know, the tweet
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: and the video with Emmanuelacho, and he just wrote every
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: single ounce of data tells you otherwise. But he's wearing glasses,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: so it must be a smart take. What it's pretty
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It's insanity, man. Caitlin Clark is a draw all right.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Ticket sales, reggatings, jersey sales. The w NBA is just
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: like Chi Chang, Chi Chang, Chia Chang. The registers is
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: going berserk. Ch change to change. As much as I
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: love Asia Wilson, let's do a tale of the tape
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: right here. In terms of credentials, it's it's Asia all day.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Just last season alone, Asia was the regular season MVP
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year Finals MVP as she won
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: a championship. That's unbelievable. She's the best player in the WNBA,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: and she's outstanding. Asia Wilson is an outstanding basketball player.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: She is not the draw Caitlin Clark is. She isn't.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: That's indisputable. I went to two ACES games last year.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: I love the WNBA. I watched it all the time.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Went to two ACES games last year in Vegas. I
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: went to one when the ACES hosted the Sparks. It's
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: in the little beer gardenish arena, smaller arena in Mandalay Bay.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: When Caitlin Clark came to town, that game was at
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Team Mobile Arena, the big arena, more seats. Not a coincidence, Okay,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever, they play at Gainbridge Field House. Lots
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: of seats over there. They're not playing in some beer
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: garden in a hotel casino. That's not what's happening. Okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: So like spare me on, Like Emmanuel Accho just mentioned
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Kelsey Mitchell, who's a good player, she's got a draw.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: You think you could just be like ah WNBA. We'll
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: take it from here. Kaitlyn, see you have fun playing
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: in Europe or whatever you do in your life. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: don't know, state farm commercials. Whatever. We'll take it from here.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: We got you think Kelsey Mitchell can just pick up
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the slack. It's like a four by one hundred meter relay,
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: and you know, Caitlyn's running the third leg and Kelsey's
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: got the anchor leg. I take that baton, Thank you,
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: thank you, Caitlyn. I got it from here. No pro
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: get out of it's it's just a dumb take. Cheneaguma
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Kay again someone who I honestly think is very smart.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Smart girl. This was her take on illicit Thomas getting
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: suspended for one game because of the rough play. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: don't know what a fist to the trachey of Caitlin Clark.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Here's what she had to say on ESPN.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: Here's Shaney, that largely happened because of the optics in
• 17:54
  Speaker 7: game flow, if you're watching in game speed. I was
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: watching games speed, I didn't really notice too much because people.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: Hit the ground all the time.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: But then when you when when narratives are created based
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: off of a freeze frame, that can create a huge problem.
• 18:05
  Speaker 7: And yes, the league was reacting to the optics of
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: vac image.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: My gosh, it's just so bad. And it's like the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: rest of the panels like, yep, yep, yeah, it's even worse.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you're onto something here today. Overreacting to
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: a freeze frame. That's what the w NBA did. They
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: looked at the replay and said, yeah, that's textbook flagrant too.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: That's what they did because it was it was a
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: flagrant too. She need Caitlin and stuck her fist at
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: her throat. What more do you need? You need an
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: elbow in the nose on to what more do you need?
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, these people sound so dumb. And that's
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: the thing. It's the people that are backing Caitlin. There
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: are a lot of people sound equally dumb. This is not
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: just a people backing Alica Thomas sounding dumb. There are
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: plenty of people backing Caitlin that sound dumb as well,
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: because they're getting the sides twisted. They're so dug in
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: on team Caitlin or team Melissa that they're getting away
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: from the only sides that matter. It's right or wrong. Okay,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: that is it. That is all. You're gonna sit here
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and be like, oh, well, it was it was a
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: freeze frame and it was slow motion, and that's why
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: the WNBA overreacted. Are you kidding me right now? Are
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: you serious? That's your serious takeaway. It's unbelievable to me.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: This is an open and shutcase, fist to the throat,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: one game suspension. Not that hard, not difficult. People are
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: making this way harder than it needs to be. But
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: if you take anything away from this, whatever, the next
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: hot button topic is, whatever gets you wrong, I hold
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: up whatever. Yeah, it could be a political issue, could
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: be a racial issue, could be something sports wise. Whatever
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: you're heated, don't lose sight of the sides that matter
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: right or wrong. If you just use that, I think
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: you're gonna be fine. If you're like, oh, I gotta
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: be down with the I gotta be down with Team Caitlin,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: or no, you're probably gonna get into Wackyville real fast.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: And that keeps happening time and time and time again.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: It's just it's a weird time. It really is.
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: All right.
• 20:32

  Speaker 2: hardly knows anything about me. Crazy. So we're gonna do
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: like a little a little question and answer a little
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: segment right here, fast, quick questions. She's preparing. I think
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I'm going off the cuff. Maybe I should prepare a
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: little something, man, I'll run out questions if I just
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: go off the cuff. Hey, upgrade your FIFA World Cup

  Speaker 2: to check in. Andre, my guy from UMass. Been patient,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: appreciate that.
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: What's going on?
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Andre? You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: How you doing?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Brian pretty good man?
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: Taking a call? Yeah, yeah, No, I don't know if
• 24:07
  Speaker 11: there's a full moon a blue moon going on, but
• 24:11
  Speaker 11: we have some unusual things going on, Brian, that that
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: is certainly out of the ordinary. First of all, I'm
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: not sure when Stephen A. Smith, who does a good job.
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: I respect Steven A.
• 24:21
  Speaker 12: Smith. I read his book.
• 24:23
  Speaker 11: I didn't. I listened to the book Straight Shooter on audible.
• 24:26
  Speaker 11: Good book, you know, and he's the main man at ESPN.
• 24:29
  Speaker 11: But but I don't know where he turns back the
• 24:32
  Speaker 11: clock with this take. I don't know who was concerned
• 24:35
  Speaker 11: about the Lakers having three white players as their best players.
• 24:38
  Speaker 11: I'm not sure when we needed to dive down that
• 24:41
  Speaker 11: rabbit hole, that black hole, that a bit to get
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: ourselves into the culture war a little bit, you know.
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: I kind of feel, honestly, and this is below Steven A.
• 24:50
  Speaker 11: Smith in terms of who he is and what he's
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: built himself up to and the rationale, Brian, that nobody
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: else is staying it. So I'm gonna stay it once again.
• 24:57
  Speaker 11: What are we doing, Steven A.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Smith?
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: I I I'm an educator. Are we in the middle
• 25:02
  Speaker 11: school class cafeteria here? Oh? Somebody else is not gonna
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: say it, So I'm gonna jump forward and say something
• 25:07
  Speaker 11: that doesn't need to be said in the first place.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's a good take. Yeah, I like your point.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: It seems it seems like it's below Yeah. Yeah, it
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: seems like he's gotten to a place where this sort
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: of thing would be below him. I would agree with that, right.
• 25:22
  Speaker 11: Right, right, right, that the three best players are. Why
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: how about the fact that they're building a team around
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: their best player, who happens to be Luka Doncic, who
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: needs a center to set those screens, to open up
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: the space so he can do what he does. Take
• 25:34
  Speaker 11: it over to Austin Reeves, who's clearly to be right.
• 25:36
  Speaker 12: And Walker Keff is a good player.
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: He's a lottery picked, big lumbering guy. You know, he's
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: gonna eat glass and a block a couple of shots,
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: and he's just gonna be an overall good teammate. Is
• 25:44
  Speaker 11: he a star player, No, but he's he absolutely the
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: right fit for the Lakers in terms of what they're
• 25:49
  Speaker 11: trying to build. Yet it's just like with the New
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: York Next, My New York Next, first championship for fifty
• 25:53
  Speaker 11: three years. Jalen Brunton, you bring in Josh Hart, You
• 25:56
  Speaker 11: bring in Mi Calbridge is.
• 25:57
  Speaker 12: Unfortunately we had to let go of Rag.
• 25:59
  Speaker 11: Google went to Minute and now all of a sudden,
• 26:01
  Speaker 11: Karl Anthony Towns wants to come back and be loyal
• 26:03
  Speaker 11: to the soil and win a championship. And what do
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: you have? Lightning in a bottle and it works because
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: all the pieces fit together and then united Stephen A. Smith,
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: all due respects in terms of what you're doing. We
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: didn't need to go here. We didn't need to go
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: We didn't need to go dive into the cultural war
• 26:15
  Speaker 11: with that take. I'm happy for the Lakers. Lebron's gonna
• 26:18
  Speaker 11: probably go to Golden State. The other thing about the
• 26:19
  Speaker 11: Blue Moon, I know you got other callers, ship Brian,
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: what's going on here? What's going on? We're supposed to
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: be the hub of research and development. We're supposed to
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: be the enlightened ones. Right that Brad Stevens is supposed
• 26:30
  Speaker 11: to be a walking computer.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 26:34
  Speaker 12: He's for cheech.
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: No disrespect to Paulter. He's thirty six years old, he
• 26:38
  Speaker 11: has an injury history. He doesn't even want to be
• 26:40
  Speaker 11: in Boston in the first place.
• 26:41
  Speaker 12: Dayalen Brown for.
• 26:42
  Speaker 11: Two dogs on first round picks and picks. Are you
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: kidding me? They're supposed to be the Boston Celtics eighteen championship.
• 26:49
  Speaker 11: Brad Stevens walking computer, It must be a blue move.
• 26:53
  Speaker 11: There must be some kind of things going on, because
• 26:55
  Speaker 11: there's only two things that that that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 12: Can work out.
• 26:57
  Speaker 11: Stephen A.
• 26:58
  Speaker 12: Smith, please do better.
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: You're certainly better than this. Either Brad Stevens can see
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: around corners and see through freaking walls, and you need
• 27:04
  Speaker 11: the supporting role on the boys, okay, or this is
• 27:06
  Speaker 11: the worst trade in NBA history. It's it's so egregious
• 27:11
  Speaker 11: that you wouldn't admit that you did. Brad Stevens, You've
• 27:14
  Speaker 11: been wrong on this from the start. You let the
• 27:16
  Speaker 11: genie out of the bottle. You offended Jalen Brown, and
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: it's just been downhill from there. You're no dog on
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: Jerry West. Real trades happening, Stylen, You're no Jerry West.
• 27:24
  Speaker 11: But then just you know, then you just add insult
• 27:27
  Speaker 11: to injury by making this trade when I.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Can't crazy it does make sense? Listen Man's yeah it is, Yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I know blue Moon for sure. It's it makes no sense,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: like there's no justifying Jalen Brown getting dealt for Paul George,
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: six years older than Jalen Brown. Two first round picks,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: two second round picks. That's what are we doing over here?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Think about this, the Sixers with what they have. You've
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: got Jalen Brown now to go along with Joel Embiid,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Tyrese Maxi VJ Edge c vj Edgecomb was a rookie
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: that contributed. Yeah, a little, a little inconsistent, he was
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: a rookie. To get as much as he did from
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: a rookie, it's pretty good. So you've got a really
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: good nucleus. And so the point is those those picks
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: in the first round that the Celtics are getting back
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: that might be a little bit later in the first round,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: not even most likely premiere draft picks. So this is
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: a brutal trade, man is like, on the surface, is
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: one of the worst trades you're gonna see in the NBA.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: And not only the lack of a haul. I mentioned
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: this at Bears repeating, you trade him to the team
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: that just beach in the playoffs. The Sixers just beat
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: the Celtics, Philly came back from a three to one
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: deficit and one and now you're gonna hook him up
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: with Jalen Brown and get hardly anything in return. That's insanity.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: It's one thing, if the Celtics dealt Jalen Brown to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: some team in the Western Conference, at least they don't
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: have to face them. They they're not going to be
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: in their way in the Eastern Conference playoffs. You know,
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: the worst case they would meet him in the finals.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: But that's insanity. To trade Jalen Brown for hardly anything
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: in return to a team in their own division, let
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: alone their same conference, in their same division, that's wild.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: And look, man, the thing with Walker Kessler. He's a
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: good young player. He's a great rim protector, good rebounder,
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: not an offensive threat, not a shooter whatsoever. But the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: price tag is way too heavy, way too heavy. If
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: you just put these side by side, Jalen Brown, two
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: time All NBA Guy Finals MVP, still young, Jalen Brown
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: gets dealt for George two first round picks, two second
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: round picks. So it's older Paul George who cares, two
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: second round picks? Who cares. It's basically Jalen Brown for
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: two first round picks. Meanwhile, the Lakers trade for Walker
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Kessler and they give up two unprotected first round picks,
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: two first round pick swaps. The Lakers gave up more
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: for Walker Kessler, then the Sixers gave up to get
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown. What are we doing? What world do we
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: live in right now? Is this crazy? So I'm not
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: denying that Walker Kessler is a good young player, but
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: that price tag is way too high. I always use
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: this man. I drive a Nissan Altima. I love my
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Nissan Altima. It's all black, love black cars. It's a
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: good car. It's not worth seventy five thousand dollars. That's
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: not what a Nissan Altima goes for. If you pay
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: seventy five thousand dollars for a Nissan Ultima, you're a sucker. Okay.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: That's how I think of this Walker Kessler deal. The
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: Lakers paid seventy five thousand dollars for a Nissan Ultima.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: It's not saying the Nissan Ultima sucks, not saying it's
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: not a good car, not saying any of those things.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: That's saying that's too expensive for that car. That's what
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the Lakers just did. I don't think Walker Kessler sucks
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: and is a bad player. He's not worth that. The
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Lakers are gonna give him one hundred and thirty million
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: dollars over four years and trade two unprotected first round picks.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: Give up two first round pick swaps for a guy
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: who's never been an All Star. Did that seem like
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a legitimate price tag to you. They have no maneuverability
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: going forward, They have no first round picks to trade
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: for the next seven years. This is their team. It's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: just way too much to give up for Walker Kessler.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: This is what happens when you negotiate out of desperation.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: That's exactly what just happened with the Lakers.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: They negotiated out of sheer desperation, and that's why you
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: have what you got right here. We got Blind Scott
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: with us in the wee hours. Love hearing from blind Scott.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's got some thoughts on this and beyond
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: what's going on. Blind Scott, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 32:23
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah, the Jaylen Brown situation. I don't want to
• 32:25
  Speaker 12: boil you too much on I would like to say
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: some facts about Brian that I know. Lorena is so Brian.
• 32:32
  Speaker 12: He likes cheese. It's he's a musician. He worked at
• 32:36
  Speaker 12: this radio studio in Nashville that had like Steve Gorman
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: who was like a famous drummer from the Black Crows
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: that used to work at it. So he used to
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: go into work there and used to sleep in a
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: dog bed in between shifts.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: Nicely job by you. What else do you know about me?
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Blind Scott?
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: Do you have like a face for TV? Like you
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: work in radio? But most people with radio aren't that
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: attractable to But Brian's actually kind of attracted looking. He
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: could work on TV from South Bend, Indiana. He was
• 33:00
  Speaker 12: married once. I mean I could go into details about
• 33:02
  Speaker 12: how you were married and stuff. You have an agent.
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: You worked in Portland, Oregon. He gave it a shot
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: up there. You were on the local like broadcasting station.
• 33:11
  Speaker 12: Now you did radio. You live in Vegas now you
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: you're like a generous guy with your time, your friendly.
• 33:18
  Speaker 12: One thing about Brian is he has a wicked bad
• 33:19
  Speaker 12: temper though he has road rate so like.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: You like so lot you really do know Brian man.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: This is like like Wikipedia page right here.
• 33:28
  Speaker 12: Yeah, catch you when you're on the radio all the time,
• 33:30
  Speaker 12: and you're on on Saturday mornings in Boston. I usually
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: catch you Brian's will shop. He's prepared when he's on
• 33:35
  Speaker 12: the radio. So you Brian's like a Midwestern guy. You
• 33:38
  Speaker 12: could push Brian's buttons like he never let he has
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: a he never lets it go on the radio. But
• 33:43
  Speaker 12: I wish you would take phone calls because callers could
• 33:45
  Speaker 12: try to get under your skin, Brian. But Brian could
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: like drive a radio show for anybody. So Brian has
• 33:50
  Speaker 12: such great preparation for a radio so that if he
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: had a bigger personality that works with him, they could
• 33:54
  Speaker 12: react to his personality and get under his skin. So
• 33:57
  Speaker 12: like the thing with radio now is it just purged
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: a bunch of people from the business. So like I'm
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: trying to set a radio strew up in my apartment,
• 34:04
  Speaker 12: like Brian had, you have a great chance to enter
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: like one of these morning radio shows. Now, like my
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: guy Adam twelve. He he's like this big radio guy
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: in Boston. He's a musician from Berkeley and now he's
• 34:15
  Speaker 12: playing light rock like in the morning. Pretty well, you know,
• 34:18
  Speaker 12: but once, once, we what Brian's radio career, and he's
• 34:21
  Speaker 12: worked in every market, so we knows every market, he
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: knows every radio personal, he's done every format. I mean,
• 34:27
  Speaker 12: I'm surprised you haven't done local sports radio anchor, but
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: Brian has fans. On the Ben mal Show, we all
• 34:33
  Speaker 12: talk about Brian. Brian's biggest talent is heavy metal rock.
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: For some reason, you couldn't become a heavy metal musician,
• 34:39
  Speaker 12: but because the hardcore it's the heavy metal hardcore scene
• 34:42
  Speaker 12: has failed the past thirty years. They never transitioned from
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: those NOFX fans to the current A fans. All these
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: they called hardcore heavy metal fans. They tried to. They're
• 34:52
  Speaker 12: not Boston. They tried this hardcore metal scene and she
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: totally failed. If that scene didn't fail, Brian would have
• 34:57
  Speaker 12: benefited from that type of scene because that has seen. Actually,
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: this sports radio stuff it is Brian, but the metal
• 35:04
  Speaker 12: stuff is really Brian. Brian's like a hard core metal guy.
• 35:07
  Speaker 12: So Brian's on this Fox Sports Radio national radio station.
• 35:10
  Speaker 12: You tried to do local radio in New York. I
• 35:12
  Speaker 12: don't know what happened with decus. I didn't catch that
• 35:14
  Speaker 12: part of your career. But you could work in any
• 35:17
  Speaker 12: radio market. You could fill in for anybody. At one
• 35:21
  Speaker 12: point I thought maybe you and Lorraine I were maybe
• 35:24
  Speaker 12: gonna start dating. Like I just thought that in my head.
• 35:26
  Speaker 12: I have a schizophrenia diagnosis. So I listened to radio.
• 35:28
  Speaker 12: I make like deep personal connections with people, know you,
• 35:31
  Speaker 12: just with myself, So I'll let you go. I took
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: up a lot of time, but it was a pleasure
• 35:36
  Speaker 12: telling you everything I know about you. I might consider
• 35:38
  Speaker 12: reaching out to you. I'm trying to get this radio
• 35:40
  Speaker 12: thing you started here and I just can't. If I
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: want to get a signal, I might ask you some
• 35:44
  Speaker 12: questions to help me get a signal from my apartment
• 35:46
  Speaker 12: because I'm setting it up blind here.
• 35:48
  Speaker 11: You know.
• 35:48
  Speaker 12: But one other thing do Brian is you're a big
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: Notre Dame fan. And my cousin he's the kicker at
• 35:54
  Speaker 12: I know the name Joe Vincy. So I think about
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: Brian a lot because he's from like South Ben and
• 36:00
  Speaker 12: my family driving back and forth there all the time.
• 36:02

  Speaker 2: Though, it has to be.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Huh, gotta be.

• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Huh mm too hard.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a hard one.
• 40:34
  Speaker 13: But like if you put like ice cream on top

  Speaker 4: be just be the Cowboys because I always.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Was a bandwagon with my mom. I just went with

  Speaker 2: not not starting a family, getting older. You know, I
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: can't remember who asked my age. I think it was

  Speaker 13: was going to happen after That would probably be it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: So what got you over that?

  Speaker 13: A lot of people don't even just die, So I
• 42:26
