• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Fox one got it covered from net to net. That's
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: probably a better way to say it soccer wise. But
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: that's all I got for you. Sorry, I have limitations.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to deal with it here, Militia, Okay,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get to the phones here in a little bit.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Militia's lining up. They want to check in, and so
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I don't like to keep them on hold for too
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: long unless it's Mike the Leprechaun for undisclosed reasons. I'm
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: just kidding, but I want to throw this at you. First,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: we've got Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown is in. Oh, let
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: me pay this one thing off though the who am
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I Game? Sorry sounds a little frazzled right now, but
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: the one thing I wanted to pay off the Brandon Ingram,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: who was the subject of the who Am I Game?
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: He was selected second overall, one pick ahead of Jalen
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Brown in the twenty twenty six draft, so it went
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Ben Simmons, brandon Ingram, Jalen Brown. Just remember the Bees,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Ben Brandon Brown. You know, it's easy way to remember
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it the twenty six draft or the sixteen draft. Sorry
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: for saying twenty six the twenty sixteen drafts, but brandon
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Ingram is on the on the move. I totally forgot
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: who he got traded for, like what package of picks
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: and players, and it was the Kawhi Leonard deal. So
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: brandon Ingram was involved in the trade for Kawhi, so
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: we went from the Raptors to the Clippers. So the
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Clippers got in the Kawhi Leonard deal. The Clippers got
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: brandon Ingram Grady Dick two unprotected first round picks, and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: then they got an unprotected first round pick swap and
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: thrown a couple of second round picks. Goodness, when you
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: mentioned all of that, I can't help but think about
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: what just went down for Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown fetched
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Paul George two first round picks, two second round picks.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: That's for a player. That's what twenty nine not even
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: thirty yet crazy. But Jalen Brown, he went on Twitch
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: and he had some thoughts about getting traded from the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Celtics to the Sixers. Here's a portion of what he
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: had to say.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Boston, they packed me up, my boy ah out of there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: It's a bunch of emotions. I'm still processing everything, so
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: give me some time, but I'm also looking forward to
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: what's to come next. I will say there was definitely
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: a message being sent and that message was received. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: wasn't I wasn't I wasn't thrilled with the amount of
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: respect that was showed during this process. You know, I
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: did feel like it was a lack of respect at first.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: At one point it was fine, and out of nowhere
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: it just went left. I definitely think it's more to it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: It definitely is more to it. I know Brad is
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: getting a lot of the criticism, but you know, I
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: just wish the more to it could have been explained.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I just wish that they had the respect to just
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: tell me what exactly what it was, and I would
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: have I would have understood it and I would have
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: respected that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, the first thought is the most sophomoric one, but
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: the little chat in the background, right, like, how can
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: you not? That's horrible? Just like the chat was active
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: there Lorena, Right, they had questions, Hey, what do you
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: think about the Sixers? Can you guys win it all
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: with you know whatever, just keeps going and go. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: might have to incorporate that into the show, right. It
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: sounds like please, no, no, you don't want that. You
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: want me to talk NFL next hour, And you know,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I think the forgotten team of the twenty twenty six
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: NFL season and you just hear that from time to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you don't think that would spruce it up.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: It's like if I get an email while I'm playing
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: sound on.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: The computer, that's right. Well, I'll experiment from time to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: time see if it works for you or not. But yeah,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: so he's on Twitch and so the chat is active,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and so that was the first thing I couldn't help
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: but notice, right, But the other thing is, if this
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: is the way it went down, it is pretty wild,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: isn't it. You've got Jalen Brown finals MVP, helps the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Celtics win a championship. And if we take Jalen Brown
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: for his word and assume this is exactly what happened,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: the Celtics didn't exactly communicate with him why he was traded.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: They didn't communicate with them why they were so eager
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to move him to a team that just beat him
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, to a team that's in their same division.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: It wasn't explained, no message conveyed. No, hey, Jalen, just
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: so you're aware, this is why we're moving you. It
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: might be for this reason, for that reason, we didn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: like this about whatever not explained kind of crazy, isn't it.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I get that you're not going to walk every single
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: player through all of that minutia every time you make
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a move. I realize that. But this is Jalen Brown.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: That's a guy who's selected third overall a decade ago,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: won a lot of games with Jalen Brown. Jalen Brown
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: was a legitimate MVP candidate this past season. That was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: his best season in his NBA career. And it's not
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: conveyed what's behind the trade. He's just left to speculate
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: like I don't really know, not quite sure. That's pretty
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: crazy to me. I realize this is professional sports. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: get it. It's a cold business and all of that stuff.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: It's just kind of crazy. That's the way it goes down.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: You know. I guess a part of this could be
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: on Jalen Brown because think of this. If you let's
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: just say total hypothetical here. I hate to even put
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: this in the atmosphere, but let's just say Fox Sports
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Radio said, Brian, hate to inform you that was your
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: last show. This venom you have against Team USA for
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: no good reason, take a freaking hike. If they just
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: said that would be explained, set up another scenario. They're
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: just they informed me like that was your last show.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I get worried that was that. I've been traded. I've
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: been traded to serious XM, NFL radio or whatever the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: case may be. You tell me, Like, the first thing
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I would do is pick up the phone and talk
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: to Scott Shapiro and be like, Scott, what's going on?
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: What's the deal man? Like that was my last show?
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Why I just got an email from Patty SWEEKA and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: they say, Man, I'm just relaying the message. You're done,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: audios was the agg done? You're done in this town.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I would reach out to Scott and be like, what's
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the deal man, what's going on? So that's the first
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: thing I think of is if Jalen Brown wanted to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: reach out to the organization, are they still giving him
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: the heisman? Pos I would? I find that to be
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit weird too. You've been in trade rumors
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: like this has been going on for days, where Shams
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: is reporting on this, Wendy is reporting on that, all
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: these reports and it's like, yeah, the Celtics remained very
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: active in trade talks. Jalen Brown is a smart guy.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He knows that's going on. You're telling me, he just
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: never picked up the phone. He's just left shrugging his shoulders,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Like I don't know why I'm on the trade block,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: no idea. Yeah, maybe I call him up and find out.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: You know, it's just weird. I think it's weird on
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: both sides. But hey man, it's a cold business. There
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: are a lot of stories of yeah, I was traded,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: don't really know why, or I was released. They never
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: told me. I saw it on X. I'm like, oh shoot,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: I'm let's see. Uh Caitlyn hate Caitlyn hate Caitlyn hate
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Caitlyn hate. Oh shoot, I'm released? Like whoa you find
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: out on X. That's crazy, but hey, professional business man.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: One other thing that Jalen Brown mentioned that I thought
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: was pretty interesting. The end part was good.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Here the process is back on we was. We've been
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: shutting the process down for the last any years. The
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: process has been over. But now the process is back.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Mother.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Oh what a walk off right there. Huh the process.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: That's what the Sixers are known for. Trust the process.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Process is back, baby, The process is back.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: Mother.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Oh that's a that's a drop to Mike moment right there.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown his new home in Philadelphia, getting used to it.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: And I do like the chat. I do like the background.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I hate it.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: You don't like that. It's not grown on you at all.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Make it stop. Let's go on to the phones. Eight
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number. I
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: want to talk to the militia. We roll out the
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: red carpet. Blind Sea Bass is first up. What's going on?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Blind Sea Bass? You're on Fox Sports Radio? Oh oh.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: Is he there?
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Uh oh? We could do this in the meantime. No,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: no call for someone else. Brandon is in the five
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: oh Tree otherwise known as Portland. What's going on? Brandon?
• 10:12
  Speaker 6: Hey, Brian, I just wanted to talk to you for
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: a second.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: How are you doing, good man? How are things right?
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I just wanted to say, uh, I listened to you
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: with Chad doing all the time. I just want to
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: give him a little shout out real quick.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: That's nice. Yeah, my guy doing a local radio in Portland.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Chad's awesome. Man. I love Chad Deways. I affectionately call
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: him here.
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, he's he's my guy. I just wanted to give you,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: I tell you that you were right, like, I would
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: give almost anything for a Blazers championship. I mean, if
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: I gotta, if I gotta watch the Lakers win three
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: years in a row, yeah, you know what, like, what.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Are they gonna have?
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Like, I don't it won't be any better than the Blazers.
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: So the Blazers isn't gonna kill it. So I just
• 11:03
  Speaker 6: wanted to say that I agree with you. I would
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: give everything poor championship for more Blazers and for the
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: last just for Chad. I just wanted to get out,
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: show me your blazer.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go, very nice. Well, I appreciate that, Brandon,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: good stuff have man, Chad doing's been doing that for
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: a long time. The Blazers have one title in their
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: franchise's history. It's nineteen seventy seven. A lot of Blazer
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: fans weren't alive to see that, or a live long
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: enough to remember it, right, So yeah, it was at
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: the beginning, I guess all these Scottish fans were asked
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the question if you won the World Cup this year,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: would you accept that deal if England won the next
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: three World Cups in a row, And a lot of
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: those fans were like, no, not doing it, bitter rival,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: can't do it. If you've never won a World Cup,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: you've never won to take the deal man, right, if
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: you've never won whatever, it is a National Championship, an
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: NBA title, an MLB crown, super Bowl. Your your favorite
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: team has never won it? How are you not accepting
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: that deal? You have to be real, real close to
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: winning at all to not accept that deal. And if
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: you're not relatively close, I think you got you gotta
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: take the deal man. Yeah, it's like we haven't had
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: that many countries win it all here Brazil with five,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Germany and Italy with four, a piece, Argentina's got three,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: France and Uruguay each have two. England and Spain each
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: have one. I didn't see Scotland on the list, didn't
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: looking squinning, Nope, no Scotland. You think Scotland's close to
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: winning it this year? I don't think are they even around?
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they're still in it? How's you
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: double check that?
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: But?
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, you gotta take the deal man, God got it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I don't care how much you hate England and soccer
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: over there. You gotta take the deal, man. I don't
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: understand you guys. All right, let me get to one more.
• 13:06

• 13:22
  Speaker 2: good fourth as well. Scotland was eliminated. Oh thank you.

  Speaker 2: Man, Man two, A long haul that's not good may
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: get you on the recuperator trail over here.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Mark, Well, if I've come back as well as uh
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: kd dde, I'll be all right there you go.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So I heard you talking about a bunch of
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: different stuff. I'd talk about the Saint Lewis Cardinals trade,
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: but I miss I've missed the portion where you were
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: discussing about a trade that they made, or a trade,
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: or you talk about a trade they shouldn't make. I
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: wasn't sure about that. I came in a little late
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: tuning in.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: No, there was no U Saint Louis Cardinals trade talk.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: That only thing that I mentioned was when I mentioned
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals was there was a question posed to some
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Scottish fans right the World Cup going on, would they
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: accept a deal if they won the World Cup this year,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: if they're hated bitter rivals England on the next three
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: World Cups? That was the question. And so I was
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: using my own teams to say, would I accept that deal?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: So I wrote the Cardinals, if they won the World
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Series this year, would I trade it for three straight
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: at the Cubs? Absolutely not, No way.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: An about the Cardinals. You probably don't remember this, but
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I do. When the Cardinals pick up Roger Morris and
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: play right field from the Yankees and Orlando Sapada from
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: the Giants, my dad.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: Would remember that. I don't remember that. Whoa, My dad
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: would certainly remember that.
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: And they had Bob Gibson, which just coming into his prime.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Gibby, Well, my dad and his dad always called
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: him Gibby. You know, let's go see Gibby tonight. They'd
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: always see Cardinal games, So yeah.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: The first excuse me, the first first time I ever
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: made a phone call to a sports talk radio show
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: in New York City from my home in Brooklyn. I
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: was asking Bill Mazer.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Who Ben Mallard would remember.
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: Bill Maser was the host of the show, and I
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: asked him about the Cardinals' chances in nineteen sixty seven,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: and he said, ah, not so good. And then I said,
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: what do you think of Lou Brock and he said, oh,
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: he's pretty good.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know.
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: I didn't say anything because I was just what eleven
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: years old, Yeah, and at the beginning of the season.
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: But I knew that Luke Brock had hit a home run.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: It's what he said in Ebitts No, not Ebitts Field
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: in the Polo Grounds while he was playing for the Cubs.
• 18:42
  Speaker 5: That went out of the ballpark. And I knew he
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: was fast and he played left field. And I also
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: knew that Roger Merrits would be a good love charm
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: in right field with his arm. I also knew Bopkister
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: was winning more games every season, and they just had
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: a solid team. Man. They picked up Sapada late in
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: the year, the round after the trail around the trade
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: deadline the year before. The Giants were going nowhere that
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: year and traded them off, which was insane. Well, knew
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: they were gonna win the World Series.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: You had it, you had it pegged right there.
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Mark.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: You know it's funny And I appreciate you checking in. Mark.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: That was good stuff. I hope you recover as well.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: I will thank you. I appreciate that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Got to get this Achilles.
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: You're talking to you, yeah.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Man, absolutely, have a good one. We'll catch you soon.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: There is Mark yep Mark and Oregon. You got me thinking,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: because listen, you take enough phone calls, there are people
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: that will They'll throw out predictions left and right, and
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: some of them are outlandish, and every now and then
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: you step in it, you know, every now and then
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: you're like, that's not gonna happen, and it happens, and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that caller will never forget. We'll never forget, you know.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: And so I'm just thinking of a man, what's one.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: I'm sure there are many, but off the top of
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: my head, I do know one of our callers loves
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the Timberwolves. All about it. He mentioned it was like
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Town's winning the three point contest. I'm like,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but he did. Won't let me forget
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: about that. One of my funnier stories I'll say is
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: so Adam Hawk, great dude. Adam Hawk used to produce JT.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: The Brick Show when he was here on Fox Sports Radio,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: and so I would fill in from time to time
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: for Brick and be on with Tom Looney and Adam Hawk,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: great dude. He said. One time, He's like, yeah, you
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: hung up on me. I'm like, what what are you
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: talking about? He's like, a It's all right. I was
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: probably drunk anyway, but I was just doing weekend overnights
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: and he called in. He ended up being my producer
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: that I worked with. It's just funny man, so you
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: never know how it's gonna go. But good stuff there.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: He is Mark in Oregon. Hopefully as Achilles will work again.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna reach KD levels. That's
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a high bar right there. But let's get him away
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: from crutches and away from limps. Right, Let's let's let's
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: start with that. Let's get that squared away, all right,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That is your number,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: all right? Coming up next, the headline could be a

• 22:37
  Speaker 2: dawned on me, World Cup going on triple header on Friday.
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: How about Poppy our guy? We might hear from him
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: this evening slash this morning. I'm just gonna say this evening,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep it simple. Okay, I haven't gone to
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: sleep yet, so I'm I'm just gonna think it's this evening.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: But Poppy was right, got a three leg parlay cash it?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Oh wow?
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Good? Yeah, that's right a little bit better than three
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: and a half to one. I should tweet that out
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: he would like that. I I took a screenshot of
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: what he told us last night. Let me bring it
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: up here real fast. Here, let's see Boppy, Poppy got uh.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: Let's see went Spain, money line, went Portugal, money line
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: lucky dog. I'll circle back to that, and they went Switzerland.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Switzerland rolled by the way. They won two nil. It
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: was for anyone who on the total. I wasn't betting it,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: but I would assume it's at two and a half.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Almost all of these games are at two and a
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: half total goals. They were ahead to nothing at the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: bitter end, and it was, you know, like stoppage time
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: or almost almost stoppage time. It was either in stoppage
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: time or just before it. And Switzerland absolutely should have
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: scored a goal. I don't know how they didn't. Man,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: it was like point blank range it rick shade a
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: couple of times. I thought one guy is essentially a
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: finger roll layup, and they didn't score. So if you
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: had the over in that one, that's freaking brutal. But
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: back to Poppy here, he was right with Spain, Portugal
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: and Switzerland plus three point fifty nine. How about that?
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: You bet one hundred bucks. You win three hundred and
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: fifty nine dollars. Wow, compliments a poppy right there from
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: him to you. No, that's right, very nicely done. Now,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: the thing with Portugal, this was crazy. Now listen, if
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: you're betting parlays every now and then, you gotta get
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: a lucky break, right, there's that one leg where it
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: could go either way. I need some luck over here,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: one time. You use your one time every time. Hopefully
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: it's right. But Portugal, they were ahead of Croatia two
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: to one, and it is the end end of the match.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: This is the bitter end of stoppage time and Croatia
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: they get a little bit closer. They got to score, right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: they're down to one. This is their last chance and
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: they you know, they kick it into the box and
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: they score a goal. The place goes freaking crazy, right
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: like they're they're eliminated. The dream is dead unless they
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: score the equalizer and stay alive. They score the goal,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: but then it's the dreaded that's check var let's give
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: it a look see over here, and they were offside.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: It ended up. I can't explain the whole thing on radio.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I don't have this soccer bandwidth to do that, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: without the video you're just gonna be like, I'm not
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: quite sure what's going on right here. Exactly what happened
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: was when the ball got kicked into the box, if
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: it didn't touch a Croatian player, the goal would have counted.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: It barely nicked, I mean barely TechEd. It was like
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: the hair of this guy. It just grazed his hair.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: If that guy shaved his head before the match, Croatia
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: probably would have tied the game. It was that crazy.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: But the whole point of this story is if that
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: goal counts, Poppy's bet does not hit, okay, because that
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: game's going to extra time and the money line bet
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: is no good so good thing. Good thing. The Croatian
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: player he got a full head of hair and it
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: just nicked his hair and that was enough for the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: offside penalty. Crazy crazy how that worked out. But shout
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: out to Poppy man, he was right, got it right.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: That is wild. I'm not against offside penalties in soccer,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: it's just the nature of the sport, but man, it
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: is it's dirty. Sometimes these nations are celebrating like this
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: is the greatest thing they've ever witnessed with their soccer
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: team in the World Cup. This is like as good
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: as it gets. Some of these goals are massive, and
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: they're like, we're still alive, the dream isn't dead and
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: crying tears and they're like, actually, we check the video.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: It's not a goal. It's just like what it's all.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: That's it. It's done. It's like, yeah, dream is dead.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Back it up maybe four years from now to go better.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: It's wild, man, But these it's a weird explanation. I
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: I'm all about the black and white of offside penalties.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: If you're offside, it's no goal, right, those are the rules.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: That's the way it is. But at the same time,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: the you talk about being teased, like the soccer thing
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: is the equivalent of some drop dead like underwear model saying, Hey,
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: I've got a hot tub at the place and I
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: never wear clothes when I'm in there, and I'd like
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: to invite you over tonight, and it just as you
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: pick your jaw up off the floor and you're like,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I'm in, I'm in. I'll get the car right now,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: I'll get the car. She's just like, oh, wait, is
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: it Friday tonight. Oh, that's not gonna work. And you're like, ah,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: like that that's what's happening with these offside penalties. It's like, gol,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: you score, this is amazing, this is the best thing ever.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: And they're like, actually, no, actually none of that's true
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: is offside. Sorry, it's wild, it really is. Okay, So
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I wanted to I'm gonna switch gears on you because
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: the thing I had planned is gonna take a little
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: bit too long. So I'm gonna I'm gonna put that
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: on the shelf just not even ten minutes from now,
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: and I'll pay it off. But it's gonna be a
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: little bit too short for right now. So I'm gonna
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: switch gears on you. There is uh, there's one thing
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: that I absolutely hate that the NBA is experimenting with.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: So what they're gonna do for the NBA Summer League there,
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: they're gonna experiment with this free throw rule. So what
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: they're doing. The Summer League starts today, by the way,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: starts on Friday. So we got a couple of different stages.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I just think a summer league as far as you
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: know Vegas. But no, we got a little bit of
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: We got layers over here. We got the California Classic,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: so that's going on for a few days. Then the
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Salt Lake City League that features a like four teams
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: in that, and then you get the Las Vegas Summer League.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: All the teams are there, so that's the real thing.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: But for all of these different stages, California Classic, Salt
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Lake City League, then the big daddy Las Vegas Summer League,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: for all of that stuff, they're gonna experiment with two
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: things here. The first thing is the free throw rule.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: So what they're gonna do one free throw will for
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: any foul that would typically result in one, two or
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: three free throws. Right, Let just think about it. So
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: you hit an elbow jumper and you get fouled, you
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: get the and one free throw, okay, all right, you're
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: you're driving down the middle of the lane, you get decked, okay,
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: you're in the shooting motion or in the bonus two
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: free throws, and of course obviously like you're a little
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: step back three pointer. Oh they got you on the elbow,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: that'd be three free throws. No, no, no, not in
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Summer League. One free throw if you make it counts
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: as three points, right or or counts as two points,
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: depending on where you were fouled where you filed beyond
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: the arc or not? I hate that? Are we Is
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: our attention span that bad? Is it that bad? Where
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: one free throw could count as much as three points?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Right now?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Some of these free throw shooters in the NBA are fantastic.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Steph Curry is gonna go to the line and make
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: one free throw that counts for three points? That's ridiculous, man.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Or think about a sucky free throw shooter. It's probably
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: worse this way. What if Mitchell Robinson steps to the
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: free throw line, the worst playoff free throw shooter ever
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: in the history of basketball, he's taken, You know, he
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: would be taking two free throws. He locks out and
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: hits one free throw and it's worth two points. I
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: hate it. So what's gonna happen Is it's gonna happen
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: all throughout summer league. They're just experimenting with it. Apparently
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: it's been used by the NBA G League since the
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: nineteen twenty season. Let me repeat the twenty nineteen twenty season, right,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: that's a better way. You leave out the first party
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: like this is from the nineteen hundreds. Were we doing no?
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: From the twenty nineteen twenty season. They've been doing this
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: in the G League. That just shows that we do
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: not watch the G League. Never knew that was a
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: thing in the G League. I don't know where I
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: could even find a G League game to watch. I
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: have no idea. But they're gonna bring this to the
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Summer League, which makes you wonder this would be like
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: bringing something to the XFL. They're doing four point field goals,
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: and you think for a second, like, would the NFL
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: ever think about doing something like that. I hope not.
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: It's fine for the XFL. I don't want it in
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the NFL. Don't want it in the NFL. Kicking is
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: already a big, big part of the game. I don't
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: want it to be even bigger. Call me crazy, I
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: just I don't want that to be the thing. But
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: you have to think about this in the big daddy
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: league when they start testing it at lower levels. They're
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: testing this at the Summer League. I hope that doesn't
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: happen in the NBA. Also, this will take place and
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: the whole game, except for the final two minutes of
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and throughout overtime, they'll use just standard
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: NBA free throw rule will apply. I hate this also, Okay.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I hate when rules are like, Okay, it's this way
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: until the final two minutes of each quarter, and then
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: no hack a shack. Okay, you can't file a guy
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: that doesn't half the ball. You can't do the hack
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: of Mitchell Robinson, right, you get oh what final two minutes? Nope,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: can't do it any other time? Yeah, I have at it,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: go for That's just dumb. It just shows you that's dumb.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: Like if if no, there's no rule in the NFL,
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: that's like, all right, that's holding. That's a ten yard penalty.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: If it's offensive holding, you know, it's a five yard penalty.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: If it's defensive holding, except for the final two minutes
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: in overtime, then hold all you want. That Just no,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: it doesn't work like that. That's dumb, and the NBA
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: continues to do that. As much as I love basketball,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: that doesn't make sense. If it's outlawed during the final
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: two minutes of each quarter, the final two minutes of
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, overtime, it should be outlawed period. Why
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: do you allow it for the first ten minutes? That
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: makes no sense. Why do you allow it for the
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: whole game except for the final two minutes of the
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter and or overtime. Well it would be and
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: overtime it wouldn't be or right, So it makes no sense. Man,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I just don't like that. It's just it's silly. I
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: wouldn't do it that way. But that's what they're doing.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: The other thing that the NBA is doing for summer League,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: they're going to test a connected basketball. What the heck
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: is a connected basketball. It will contain an embedded sensor
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: and that's going to detect contact with the ball. So
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: if it's, hey, whose ball is it, Well, it was
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: out on the Celtics, it's the Blazer's ball. It's going
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: to be a censor in the ball that helps the
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: officials tell who actually did touch the ball last They
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: say it doesn't affect the weight, does in effect the
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: feel or the playability of the ball. I'm open to it. Hey,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: if you can't tell, you can't detect it. You grab
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: the ball, feels like a regular ball, doesn't feel any different,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: and you're able to get some data and tell who
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: touched the ball last time. I'm fine with that. I
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: don't I don't like this freaking free throw rule. Though
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: not a fan. If you get fouled shooting three, you
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: should have to make three free throws. You shouldn't have
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: to make one free throw for it to be a
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: to count as three. That's crazy. Our attention span is
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: not that bad where we can't do. You just can't
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: sit through three free throws. This is torture. I can
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: sit through one and then I just start to fade, man,
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I start to fall asleep. I got to reach from
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: my phone. I constant, constant stimulate, constant stimulation. Settle down
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: and watch the game. Okay, just watch the freaking game.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: It doesn't take nine hours, take two and a half hours.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: We don't have to streamline this, man, we don't. This
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: is a silly step by the NBA. Not on board,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: not on board eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Is your number at the no show on Twitter slash
• 36:13

• 36:22
  Speaker 2: you noticed this is a dumb observation, but there's there's
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: some truth to it. Have you noticed that? You know
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: most people call it X now, but they still will
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: say NBA Twitter, Oh, NBA Twitter, Man, NBA Twitter was
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: on fire this Jalen Brown trade. Who they don't say
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: NBA X. Why haven't made that change?
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Right? Is that a legitimate point? I think it's a
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: legitimate point. We've changed it and updated and like, all right,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: it's called X whatever. That's silly, but I'll call it X.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: But it's still NBA Twitter. It's still NFL Twitter. Should
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: be NFL X NBA X. Right that ever becomes a trend.
• 37:04

• 37:05
