  Speaker 2: Oh wait oh blow it out with So I would
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: try to get people ten minutes on non sports at

  Speaker 2: the band aid off. Sorry dude, butt your first.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you. I mean it's kind of like I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: can have some peace now and just kind of not
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: be sad all weak.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Like I told you yesterday, your average player is fifteen
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: years old. On that team, they have a lot of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: years left to they are.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Then they're they're all so young. I mean, it was
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: just like if the games weren't so close, I would
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: be like, it's okay, you know, we didn't belong to
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: be there. We didn't belong there anyway, but they were
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all so close, and then you know, we didn't even
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: talk about the twenty nine point comeback, like.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Because we didn't do the show Friday.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I like, so that alone is just like I didn't
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: even know what to think.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Man Eddie and I were in connecting hotel rooms during
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: that game. Because we were in Florida during that client event.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I wish we had a door though we didn't have
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: a door. No, I just left you alone, I know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but a door would be going to get a hug,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just like hey did Will you lay with me for
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: a little.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Bit a couple little knocks?
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Just lay with me? So I'm not alone?
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Are you a hoop?
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: That's a weird one. I'm sorry, dude, No, I'm glad
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the next one. I think it's cool. They haven't one
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: to fifty years and now they're winning a championship and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we do. You have Steve Novak coming up, who is
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: analyst with the Knicks, and so I don't know it sucks,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: but I do think that you are a very very
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: very young, young team. Yeah, here's my question. Yeah, is
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: wemb be French or really unlikable?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: He started off French, now he's starting to get unlikable.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Why is he unlikable to you guys? Because he's not
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: unlikable to me.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: He's on your team.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: But I mean even if he wasn't, I still like
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: the guy.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not an anti spur, so I feel like I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: can speak on this. It could be a lot of English.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Is a second language, so things aren't coming out in
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the way that he would hope for them to, but
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: things like see you never things like we dominated the
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: whole game, which I didn't feel like that was a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: fair one, because I think he really meant it was
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: hard for us to lose those games because we did
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: dominate for most of the game and they came back
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and won, but in the end it was we dominated
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the whole game.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Thought, that's I think you're right, that's what he was saying.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that's what he was
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: trying to say, is that we dominated most of that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: game and then we end up losing it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: So I think he's just young.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I think he's young. He's always won, yeah, until he
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: got to the NBA. I think he's a little bit unlikable,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: but a lot French. I don't think he's a lot unlikable.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I think he's a little bit unlikable and a lot French.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, So like seventy French.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Is it that he's French or that he just speaks
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: a different language and it's lost in translation?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: French? You sound eric, it just naturally the language sounds arrogant.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tony Parker was French, was heal and Michael.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I didn't see a lot of press conferences. It wasn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: all over social media then true, different time. French, you
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: sound a little arrogant. Italian. You sound like you want
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to bang German.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Always. You just want to bang always German.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You want to box an American number.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Four German you're always pissed.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so yeah, but things when they were down
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: three one, he's like, I own on, this is what
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I want to be. Three one is perfect for me.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: I kill you did say that?
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I kind of walk himself into that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: One and that didn't age very well. Yeah, it's not
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: where you want to be, dude.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: The Knicks half the worst colors though, right, oh, don't mind.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I don't mind the blue. I don't hate the orange.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: But the blue and the orange together, really, I feel like,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: find me a worse two colors. Now, Look, I don't
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: like green, so you can say the Bucks, but the
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Bucks of green and white are green and black. That works.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think the next together have the worst color.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: The blue and the orange is the Mets as well? Right, like,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: so is it New York thing?
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't think about that. It is kind of a lot.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: It kind of looks like a kid's birthday party in
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: a way.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: And you don't like kids or birthday parties.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: None at all.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: He's anti both.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Interesting.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Calves have always been a bad one for me.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Maroon dark. They're a second color orange orange, Yeah, like
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a gold.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I don't hate it that much, dude.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I wish. I wish the Spurs colors were the ones
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that they bust out once in a while, those like
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Fiesta colors, you know, light blue, pink, and those are
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: horrible yellow.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I love that Fiesta. Yeah, he said what it's called
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: because sometimes they're the crowd late did the crowd like
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Fiesta one night?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: It's awesome. Every section was the different color, so awesome.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: But I don't think they'll do that. They just stick
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: with a black and silver. I just thought, I hate
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the next colors together. Yeah, it's kind of weird.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh so I got more notes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So where was Taylor? Question? Just a question? Where was
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: she was? I mean they were not in San Antonio,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I mean the yeah, But I mean I feel like
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: half of the arena was Knicks fans, which was awesome.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Good for the Knicks fans. I mean obviously they're rich
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and they can do that. But like they did travel.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say the half of the arena were
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Knicks fans, right, they did travel well, because like I
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: would go to the kitchen, you know, get me a
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: drink or something, and that here, like, I'm all right,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: we scored.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You were confused by which.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Nicks great?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Hey, Fox kind of sucked.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. You just wouldn't expect that from him because he
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: is the veteran of the team.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: He just missing a lot of shots and and I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: like it that he had no fear to keep shooting them.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: But at some point that fear's got to be met
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: with the realization of you're not on And I get it,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: keep shooting, keep shooting, but man, like just pull ups,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: mid range pull ups.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I feel like the Spurs forget they have Wemby
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: on their team.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that just me.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I was like, I haven't watched them all year obviously,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: so I didn't know if that was just like a
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: recent thing or everyone wants to be the hero.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Wemby sucks down though, it's.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Kind of but I mean, okay, he's not the strongest downlough, right,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: He's not strong, but he is taller than everyone else,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: like he should that's where he should be on the court.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: But he was getting bodied by Kat too.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: He was yeah cats, I mean obviously a big dude,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: but he's a softy two. He was, but not in
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: this series because of Wimby.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Wmby was soft.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: So back to Fox, the Game four, the comeback game. Uh,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: should have held the ball?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He sucked, I mean just back. Well, it's hard to
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: look back. I know, I'm not even gonna put four
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: in it because I don't like to do should have
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: because a lot of things could have happened Game nive
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: when he kept missing after having the Game four where
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it didn't go his way, he kept going and he
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: just kept and it's like he came out with a purpose. Yeah,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: and about halfway through that purpose, when that purpose wasn't
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: being met, I think it's time to change. I mean,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Dylan Harper is the guy next year. It's not Fox.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: And they gotta pay Fox fifty million.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they gotta dump him, try to dump them.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: So anyway, that that's our basketball minute, Eddie.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, thank you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Can I ask one more question to Eddie? You feel
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: like you got ahead of yourself because you're so confident
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: playing the Knicks.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I thought that, Yes, I thought the Spurts would win.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I thought they would win. But and yeah, I mean
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I think I knew immediately when they won to in
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: San Antonio that this is going to be a lot harder.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And then yeah, I can't believe they comeback. So it
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: was over.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: It was dajavu every game, It's like, oh, I've seen
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this before.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Ten points.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: There was a little funny thing about Rod Stewart and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I have some World Cup thoughts because I watched some
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: World Cups.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Did he canceled the show or some Yeah?
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: The next day at the World Cup drinking drinks? Yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: do you see it?
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I saw the picture.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Rod Stewart canceled the show in San Diego Friday night
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and then jetted over to Boston for Scotland's World Cup
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: game against Haiti on Saturday. Even posted video from his
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: private jet during the trip. Fans aren't happy.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is one of.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Those Hey, if you're too sick to go to school,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: you can't play with your friends after school.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Don't make the news.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: This is one of those situations. Yeah, okay, you're not
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: feeling good. Okay, well let's just stay home. But no,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: at four o'clock, you can't go outside and ride your
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: bikes with Michael. Yeah, that's what's happening here.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: I'll be calling sick to work. Don't post on social
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: media that you're out.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: There's probably an age though, like Rod Stewart, he's probably
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: the dgaf ah right eighty one, Like you know, like
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: if it's a bad look that I canceled the show
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and I went to the World Cup, big deal, don't care.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: They're also saying, not surprisingly, Rod's catching some heat online.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing about eighty one year olds. They probably
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: don't give a crap out what's online. Right, He ain't
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: doom scrolling his comments, he doesn't care. Right, let's see.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Let's see.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: World Cup notes? I got mine here, number one.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: He just wrote notes down.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, basically, soccer doesn't have two halves. Soccer has four quarters.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Oh at the World Cup does not soccer?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Oh well this is all I watch, so to me,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: this is all soccer.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: The hydration break doesn't happen in regular soccer.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: They only do this during the World Cup.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: This is something that FIFA did for the World Cup
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: because in America's.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Hot, right now, Okay, that's a lie. Well, what they
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: didn't do it because America's hot. Well they did it
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: because there's a commercial. Yes, they put in commercial break. Well,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but they call it a hydration Yeah, get over it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And obviously it's a no brainer to have Power Aid
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: or Gatorade sponsored the hydration break.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: That's not the order. I would almost bet my bottom dollar. No,
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: what the order is it? It's hot in America, so
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: let's have a hydration break. Okay, since we're going to
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: have the break, let's get a sponsor. It's this, how
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: do we get more money? Let's get a sponsor. Oh,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we should make a hydration break because who's going to
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: argue it's giving the players hydration.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Very American way of doing things.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: My mind did not go there. But it's not it's FIFA.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if we're FIFA's headquartered. I don't think
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: it's an America.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: But it's in North America. It's all like affiliated somehow.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: These dudes play in the Middle East.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I know, and they don't take breaks.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so is it again soccer novice. If you're in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: the middle of a match, is it like a marathon
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: where if you're running, you running, grab you get a
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: drinking and then to keep playing, or you just you
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: just get no water.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: You get no water unless oh no, no, you do
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the only time you get water there's an injury. That's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: why sometimes people get frustrated with the flopping and the
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: acting like an injury. It's it's it's techniques, like it's strategy.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Act injured, so dudes can get some water real quick.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: So if someone like fell down and at that exact
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: moment you saw every player spread to the sideline like
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: it was coordinated, you go, they're thirsty.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like the fake injury in the NFL, and
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: guys just like go down, go down, because they're like
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: they're two minute drill. I guess the offense is, you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: clicking on all cylinders and you're like, let's slow them
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: down a little bit.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: And then when they really like want extra time, the
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: medic comes out and it's a team medic, right, and
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: he comes with his little bag and everything and he
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: sprays stuff on the ankle. What's his spraying on the ankle.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: It's nothing, it's hairspray.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Interesting, yeah, hydraction break. To me, it's just a commercial.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: I thought it was kind of weak.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: That's the one thing I do like about soccer is
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: it's the two halves and he goes by fast.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't stop. However, question why not if you're going
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to do the ad time at the what a stoppage
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: time at the end of every half? Right, So, like
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I explained to my wife, so the clock keeps running
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: for forty five minutes, doesn't stop, but they do stop
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the action in the game. And then someone's keeping the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: tally of like how many times they stop, they add
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: it at the end, but instead of just adding at
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the end, why don't you just stop the clock. I
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: don't understand the stubbornness of having someone be like they've
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: stopped for thirty.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: And we are some Americans talking about soccer because I think,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Mike, just.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: They don't want to stop the game flow because then
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: they stop and then it takes the momentum out of it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: But they're stopping the game flow anyway, when the dudes
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: on the grounds getting here spray on his ankle.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: And this has been Americans talking soccer.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we just don't understand.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: I feel like it they stop way longer than that
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: added time is correct, you know, like sometimes there's a
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: ten minute stoppage and you're just like, they only add
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: six minutes at the end or whatever.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: And then they score a goal, they're celebrated for five
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: minutes after the goal. Do they add that to the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: stoppage time.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: That's a good question, Mike. I don't know, because you
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: would think they would, because let's say you're you score,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: it's two to one now and it's getting near the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: end of the game. You just celebrate long, so to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: run the game closer to the end, I would imagine
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: you do. But this is American talking soccer.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I did watch you USA in Paraguay. We've killed him.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: That one dude did a own goal and I thought
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: he was getting kill when he gets home.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Let Columbia.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's a documentary.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah that was. Do you think that was Pablo Escobard.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Time, and the dude from Paraguay kicked in his
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: It was a own goal. The first goal we played
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: against them. They keep throwing ball in.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize it went off that dude.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I thought, well, he's murdered. I don't
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: think that's how he happened.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Kevin, do you know about that? Yeah, the Columbia one. Yes, dude,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that was crazy.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: There was a I think at thirty for thirty on it, right, yeah.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Probably.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: I told my kids about that and they were just
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: like what. I'm like, Yeah, I imagine that you accidentally
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: scored your basketball and the wrong goal and then they
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: shoot you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: But that's what happened on this American Paraguay the first
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: goal they nicked it in, I.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Know, but they didn't kill him. Well yeah yet.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where my mind went.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Who knows what they do over there.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: My other note is Japan's got to figure it out.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: They live longer lives, it's much cleaner, it's much safer.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: At the end of their matches, all their fans take
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: bag and clean up their own section, and that's amazing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: It is generally what they do, and.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that because that was a Cowboys stadium. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: love that. I love that they're keeping our stall.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Well, they were gonna get clean anyway. But you're the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: guy who goes in a movie theater. It says, part
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: of the appeal as you get to throw your stuff
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: in the ground, Which.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: Is the reason I say that is because there are
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: like ten teenagers waiting to pick it up when you
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: leave the theater, Like I figured, that's kind of like
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: part of the experience of going to the theater. It's like,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: what was that restaurant where you could eat peanuts and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: throw it on the throw the shelves Texas Texas Roadhouse.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I love that about that.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: You think the workers liked it well if.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: That was part of their job description, especially if.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: They have a peanut allergy.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: WHOA, yeah, not good.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I think about that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's really cool.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Shout out Japanese Jamis Winston got in on.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: It, right, Yeah, because he would do that too after games.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: He was up in one of the games.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: That's cool.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: M hm, you got any notes?
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I do? I do? That was a black guy on
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the Mexican team. I thought that was interesting. Oh god,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: so I mean notless seriously, like.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Was he a black guy or a darker Mexican.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: No, He's a black dude, And I'd like wow. But
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: but that's kind of cool about the World Cup is that, like,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you know, people come from all kinds of their heritage, right,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Like they could be adopted, they could be mixed parents, whatever,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and as long as they have some kind of tie
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to that country, they can represent that that country.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: There's a guy on our team whose parents were from America.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: His mom came to America, was trying to get on
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: the plane to go back home, and they said, you're
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: too pregnant. She ended up having him here. Then after
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: she had he was birthright citizen. After she had him here,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: they ended up moving to like London, like right right away. Yeah,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: but he was birthright citizen of America. He plays for US.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: He scored like two goals and then.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: That's freaking awesome.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: That cool dang.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that was the reason why I said that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Well, it's like Joel Embiid when he played from the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: US and the Olympics.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Not just because you want to. He's some camera in right, Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Like what are they gonna do in the Olympics.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: He's the only one. Yeah. The camera guys are good
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: camera guys. They're good at spotting the hotties. It's the
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: World Cup.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's their day.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Like their job. They get there like all right, set
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: your camera up, find the hotties because we're gonna ask
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: you to go to them. Have them ready.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: So there's so many their ai now though that I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: pop up like oh from Brazil, I don't know if
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: they're really.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Or not on social media not TV yeah, yeah.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they take the pictures and go, this is
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: from television and it's a fake AI person. Yeah, the
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: girls in a bathing suitial Yeah, and it's like, here's
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: every body from every country. Which country would you do
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: that title? They're ranking them all right, go ahead? Yeah.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: I also have that the refs. Man, the refs are
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: like parents dealing with kids the whole time. Like, it's
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: funny the way they scold the players. They're like, stop bargaining,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you stop arguing. Then they make the call. I love it.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I think it's really funny to watch.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: The language barriers are interesting because I watched a ref
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: that I think it might have been Danish arguing with
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: somebody that wasn't.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: And I always wondered, like, are they speaking their their
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: native languages or are they all trying to speak English?
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Well, so if you fly you have to learn English,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: like if you're a pilot around the world, universal language.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: I don't think soccer has that, But I wonder why
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: they were the thing in their ear. I wonder if
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: it's like an interpreter.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I know one of them is a camera.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: You see that one as a microphone looks like a
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: pretney fear Garth Brooks my little boy band.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But it's also a camera they have and they they
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: when there's a goal, they show the ref cam.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Interesting. I saw that. That was really cool, like it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I'd never seen that vantage boy before. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: well anyway, those are my notes World Cup.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: They don't play games enough. This thing lasts like six weeks.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: America doesn't play again until Friday, Thursday or something.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a good point, like three games the day you're.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Running, let's say play the next day.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, dude, they run a lot.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay by two days.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Did you ever play soccer?
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: No?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Never, not once. We didn't have soccer in Arkansas.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: No way, No, dude, that was our first sport.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: No, there were there were no soccer teams, there were
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: no soccer goals, soccer none.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's crazy.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Did you know what soccer was?
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Because he yeah, soccer, just heard people talk about it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Never.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: I have no kicking skills at anything. You guys have
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: seen it. I never used that, never used that part
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: of my body for Anything's up running, Kevin.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Did you play soccer?
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: No?
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: No?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: That is crazy to me, Like that was the first
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that when I was five years old, like or signing
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: out for soccer. Cool and then if you like it,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: you stay. But most of the time people just stopped.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: But border Bandits do. That was my team for like
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: four years, the.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Border Bandit Yeah five years old, Yeah that was your name.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah that feels a bit ye who named it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: The film Michaelson drama.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah it was. But but he's cleared though, right, Like,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: cops investigated or something. They didn't find ground of anything
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: weird happening.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I just saw his membership has been revoked after he
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: was accused of making non consensual and inappropriate physical contact
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: with the female employee. The fifty five year old golfer
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: was told to vacate the premises during a round of golf.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: Following the accusation, he stepped away from golf. I didn't
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: say anything about the other stuff.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw the cops investigated and didn't find any
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: kind of evidence of that really happening. So maybe he's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: no longer a member. But legal action was not a thing.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: I never saw legal action was a possibility. I just
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: thought they kicked him out of the club. Phil Mickerson
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: not a good dude.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're learning that. Huh.
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: Not a good dude at all. You think Ben Stiller
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: should be able to hold that trophy? I'm going to say, yes, No,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: really no, isn't it just who you know anyway?
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is. But I mean he was there. He
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: was there for every game in the finals.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: In the finals. But I'm saying, if you're famous enough
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: and you know the owner, you get to get back
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: there and hold the trophy. Yeah, it's all who you
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: know anyway, Ben Steeller, Listen, what if Taylor Swip was
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: holding it?
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: That'd be a messing with a melted Would you hold
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Arkansas National Champian Trophy?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a neat of course I would.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: Then Ben Stillers should do that.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Then it looked kind of odd. Do you see the
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: picture of it.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I've seen it. Yeah, Like like I just keep seeing
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: clips of him like he's filming a documentary set or something.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like on the court and people are trying
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: to get him with the phone. Yeah with the phone.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Spike Lee too, right, I mean he is like
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that now he first he should get his own trophy.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: That guy has been a Knicks fan to me. I
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: know him more for me to a Knicks fan than
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: anything else. Yeah, that and Mars like going to no,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: what was his name mark when he was doing the commercials,
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: But Jordan's.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Way back in the day.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I do remember this.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: I think his name was Mars Mars Blackman. Is that
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: what it was? Was it?
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: He was it that he was short and I kind
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: of look the hat flipped.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah wait, okay, hold on, Ben Stillers, he like took
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: a legit like he's a player. I thought I thought
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: he was just like in a crowd or somebody just
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: wrapped her. Real quick, take a picture like.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: This after the game.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: This is when they're all taking pictures like after the game. Yeah, yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: after the championships.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: He's got like a backdrop. He's got the goggles on,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: so like the champagne in his eyes.
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: I think it's better than before the game, before you're
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the champion.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, I meant like postgame when all the.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Back there, Chela Mayne was back there too.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Interesting.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: It's weird. Yeah, it's almost a reason why the Knicks
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: kind of like they're not likable to me because of
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: all the celebrities that are attached to him.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Lakers are way more than next. I feel like the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Knick celebrities are like the blue collar celebrities, and the
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Laker celebrities are just the people that are famous and
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: rich right now that want to be seen, Like Nick
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: celebrities go to Knicks games, Laker celebrities or just who's
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: hot right now then get tickets on the floor. And
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Jack Nicholson he's always there.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on that, Yeah, I mean I don't like the
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Lakers either, so I guess that could be the reason
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: why I don't like either of those teams.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: I feel like New York though, just generally is more
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: blue even though it's rich, even more blue collar than
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the Lakers.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: But they're real fans. Yeah, I feel like their celebrities
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: are actual fans where the Lakers are just like I
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: live in La now and I'm famous.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm a cold in New York, so I respect it.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: You live in New York and it gets cold there.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Speaking of the next we're going to come back and
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: talk with Steve no Back playing Marquette with the Knicks
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: is on the broadcast team. Now for the next let's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: talk about Nixon Spurs back. In one second, Let's bring
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: on a former NBA player, Marquette Legend and current Knicks
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: analyst Steve Novak, Are you still cloud nine? Steve?
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: Oh, we're definitely all still cloud nine. I think there's
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: a lot of zoom calls and conversations and brunches and dinners,
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: even if brunches at about three pm right now, because
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: not a lot of sleep for a lot of guys.
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: But yeah, just enjoying it. I think we all feel
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: the electricity still, and you know, as the playoffs have
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: been going on, it was electric. But obviously now that
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: it actually happened, it's done, and our guy, Jalen Brunson
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: got it done. I think we're all still riding the high.
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Who do you credit for orchestrating and putting together that
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: group of guys?
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Oh? Boy? I mean there's the obvious, right, I mean,
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I think there's the Leon Rose. I think just his
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: orchestration as far as those decisions, and by those decisions,
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: I just mean, you know, you do look back at
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: each of those different transactions and you consider that they
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: were high risk and there's just no guarantee, especially when
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: you consider when they were done. If you think about
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: the sentiment and how big of a deal it is
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: to trade first round picks like that for Michel Bridges,
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: and you know, part of it is for sure in
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: the hands of Jalen Brunson. He gives back one hundred
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: and thirteen million real dollars as a guy who's already
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: playing in New York City paying New York City taxes,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: He's joked about missing his Dallas taxes when he was
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: in Texas, and so you know, he has so much
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: to do with this. There's no cat, there's no og Ananobi.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: If there's no Jalen Brunson giving back one hundred and
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: thirteen million dollar gift, it's it's something you don't see sports.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: And then obviously got to go to the top. I mean,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: mister Dolan is someone that you know, I've had a
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: unique perspective to get to know and to be around
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: as a player and now as a broadcaster and honestly
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: even more as an alumni, someone who I get to
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: see how he treats the full organization and embraces a
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: guy like me who played for the Knicks and wore
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: this jersey. And it's not just me. There's so many
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: guys that are brought back and treated so well. And
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: so I do I think, you know, it starts the
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: top and obviously Leon Rose, William Wesley Gerson, rosas down
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: the line. Those guys and the decisions they made were huge.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: But the captain and his forty five points and his
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: one hundred and thirteen million dollar give back, I think
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: are just as big a piece as all of that.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: The og Ananobe story, to me is pretty wild. Now
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I'm a late fan because when he was playing with Toronto,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch him much, and I was looking at
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: the last I guess four or five seasons and he
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: played like forty games, forty games, fifty games. So what happened?
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: He comes to New York and now he's healthy and
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: he's wildly productive. What's the difference.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: It's a great question, and I think you know in
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: the NBA you see so often in professional sports, you
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: see when a guy finds his home, when he's embraced,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: you know, not only by his teammates, as coaches, in
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: front office, the fans, but also is a complimentary piece.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And part of that. Your skill set can be your
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: skill set, but it might not be complimentary depending on
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: who the heck's around you. And it helps when I
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: think you have a leader like Jalen Brunson and you're
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: a guy like Og who's first and foremost a defensive,
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: massive rebounding, communication presence, and your core is going to
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: be Cat and Jalen with the ball in their hands.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: But it ends up being that those guys are able
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: to bring out of you one of the skills that
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: you haven't displayed at a high as at a high
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: level as he did with the Knicks, which was shooting
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: the ball. And I think that's what they did, was
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: bring that side of it out because when Og and
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Anobi was at Indiana, he was an elite, unbelievable defender,
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: long wingspan, big chest, just making massive athleticism plays. But
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: to see I think, honestly his shooting development and the
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: shot making that he had in these this twenty twenty
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: six playoffs, it put him off the chart. It was
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: one of the most historic shooting playoffs for any player
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: in NBA history, and it was fun to watch because
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: it it was a big deal. And obviously the tip
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: in in game four was one of the greatest shots
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: of all time.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Okay, so my question about the tip in as somebody
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: like yourself who played at the absolute highest level. Whenever
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: you're taught to go up on a rebound like that tip.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: Are you just tipping it towards and hoping for the
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: best or is there some sort of nuance with every
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: single tip.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great question, and it was what was
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: on the Today Show. I was watching clips just now
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: with og Anobi and the whole starting five, you know,
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: was being interviewed and they said to og you know,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: what were you thinking, What was your approach? What were
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: you trying to do right there? And I just love
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: he says, you know, well, I was trying to dunk it,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: And I do think.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: When a shot goes up and your offensive rebounding, the
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: goal is to get it an awesome you know, bounce
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: off the rim and it just lays there for you
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: right when you take off to go up and grab
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: it and dunk it. And I think you could see,
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: you know, he approached it that way because he was
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: up high enough, higher than you know, the two spurs
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: that were in the paint as well, to get a
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: hand on it. But then after that to have the
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: feel and the touch to not duck it and to
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: just kind of tap it in the way he did.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: You know that that's something that here's no drills for that.
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: There's no like, oh he's grown up, you know, with
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: his coaches working on you know, throwing the ball off
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: the rim and tapping it in like that. It's it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: just one of those miracle plays that good things happen
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: to guys who are in the right spots and are
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: good people, and there's some magic around an aura around
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: him sometimes, and on that play, he definitely he had
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: a magic aura around him.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: In the locker room, has brunts and been the guy
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: and when a guy like Carl Anthony Towns comes over,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: is it just kind of understood that Brunton's the leader
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: of the team.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. You know, I think Brunson over the
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: last you know, before this finals, this playoff run, I
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: think he had very much proven he was the late
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: game scorer, he was the captain, He was missed captain clutch,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: you know, voted on and recognized by the NBA, by
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: his teammates, I think, by this organization. So I think
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: he had really established that he was that closer go
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: to guy and good enough to do it. And obviously
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: there was kind of the famous Becky Hammond the small
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: guards can't win it. He's not that dude. The Knicks
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: don't have that guy. And so this run, this championship,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: that Game five obviously solidified him as a whole nother
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: echelon of player. And as far as the locker room
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: goes and Karl Anthony Town's coming over, I think it.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: You know, Kat all Year was pretty candid about he's
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: willing to play whatever role he needs to play. He's
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: completely bought into Coach brown system. He knows that Jalen
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: is the guy, and Kat pretty much all Year said,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: I will assert myself when needed as needed, and I
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: think we saw that. I mean, miraculously, he had two
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: points in Game five and Jalen had forty five. The
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: second leading scorer was Michel Bridges with fourteen, and they
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: got it done. And so I look back to a
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: lot of cats comments throughout the year about buying in,
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: doing what you have to do to win. He doesn't
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: care who gets the shine, and I think to myself, listen,
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: no matter what anybody thought about his comments or set
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: about what his approach, it worked. He was bought in
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: and he was right. He had two points in this
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: team one and obviously I think he would have hoped
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: for a better game, but it was enough for a championship.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: So I think the results speak for themselves.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: I think I saw where Kat had the highest plus
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: minus ever in the finals, and what do you attribute
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: that to?
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: You know, I really do contribute that to his buy in.
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: And I know that's kind of a cliche term. And
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: by buying, I just mean if you're the number one
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: pick going against another which Kat was is and another
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: number one pick in Wemby, you have a chip on
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: your shoulder. You're trying to prove something that you're in
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: your eleventh season and this is a guy at Wemby
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: in his third season. It's your time. You're the guy.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: And Kat approached those first two games in San Antonio
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: on the road that way. He outplayed Wemby, He locked
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: him up defensively, He had a great start to the series,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: which shaped the whole series from there on out. When
• 29:22
  Speaker 4: you leave San Antonio with two road wins up to
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: zero and so I think his buy in it showed
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: up to me in he didn't need to score every
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: time he wanted to beat Wemby. He wanted to prove
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: he was as valuable as he was picked number one,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: and so he did the little things that were required
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: of him to become a champion, which in my mind
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: was pursuing rebounds relentlessly. One of the best rebounders, I
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: think the number two rebounder in the NBA Al season,
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: but pursued the rebounds over and over ran the floor hard,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: was willing to be a defender. And then on the
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: offensive end, where a lot of big guys you see
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: it show up where it's are not really bought in,
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: where they're trying to shoot it every time. He became
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: mister facilitator at the top of the key, making passes,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: running the dribble, handoffs, getting another guy's shots, and then
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: when they shot, going and crashing the glass like crazy.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: And so I think that's just where you saw He's
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: going to do what needs to be done to win.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: And so when that's the case, you're out there with
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: the guys getting buckets, and your plus minus just keeps
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: going up because you're moving the needle as far as
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: winning and performance. And so I give him just a
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: ton of credit for you know where this team ended
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: up this year.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Do you feel like cat only having two points and
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: all the fouls, Do you feel like that was a
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: curse that he that had so many fouls? But the
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: blessing came at the end of the game when he
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: was still able to have so much freaking energy and
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: go as hard as he was going.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a great point because there was you know,
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: there were certain moments throughout the series against San Antonio
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: where he would go, oh, my gosh, is this terrible?
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Or could this in any way be a good thing?
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: Could it be a blessing? And you saw, like you said,
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: gobs you can't get in filed trouble, be fresher at
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: the end of games. You also saw coach Brown get
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: creative and go with smaller lineups, trying to find the
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: right mix, going with Landry Shamitt, sometimes going with Jose Elverado,
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: And there was a spark in Game four where Jose
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Verado comes in the game where og Anonobi tips it in.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Jalen obviously still had thirty six in that game. Ogi
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: had thirty three, but Jose Verado ended up playing had
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: eight points in that game, played ten of his fifteen
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: minutes in the fourth quarter. And it was a large
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: product of Cat being in foul trouble and Coach Brown
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: going small, and it opened some of the offense up
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: and you're seeing Jalen Brunson, Jose Verado pick and roll action,
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: and you think, this is not what I thought we
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: were going to see. But I think it was unpredictable
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: and unorthodox, and it did throw off the competition where
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: they're thinking, we don't really have a scheme for this.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: We haven't gone through with the Jose Verado pick and
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: roll with Jalen brunts and we don't have a coverage
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: or a call. And so I do I think, you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: to your point, it ended up being a blessing at times,
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: but you also got to give some credit to the
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: guys who came in and made some magic happen. So
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: it was unexpected, But yes, I do. I think it
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: was in the end unpredictable, so a blessing.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: The twenty nine point comeback, wildest thing you've ever seen?
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: Oh my god, So that game. You know, you've seen
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: all these stats about you know, the Spurs led one
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: hundred and seventy three minutes, the Knicks led you know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: fifty two minutes. You know, seventy two percent of the
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: series was led by the Spurs. One of these weird
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: analytical conversations again where you're going like, okay, so what
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: are you saying, you know, do you think the Spurs
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: are winning this series? Are they you know? Like coach
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: Atkinson said for Cleveland earlier in the playoffs, that game,
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: when you look back at the box score, the largest
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: lead that San Antonio had in Game four was twenty
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: nine points. The largest lead that the Knicks head was
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: one point. The Spurs led ninety seven percent of the game.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: The Knicks led by for two percent the game. There
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: was one percent of the game that it was tied.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: And you don't watch basketball as long as I've watched
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: basketball and think to yourself, I believe in this team.
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: They can do it. It doesn't happen when they may
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: be in a regular, crazy, regular season game where maybe
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: there's a team that doesn't have spirit, they don't really care,
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: they're down on something, they don't have good chemistry, and
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: there's another reason that a team can come back and
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: do something crazy. But in the finals, it means too much.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Every guy is locked in, everyone has game planned around
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: what you need to do. The importance is worth the
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: fatigue and the mental energy, and so it's impossible to
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: come back from twenty nine points, twenty seven point halftime deficit,
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: and so I still just can't believe the numbers that
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: came out of that. And that's why some of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: analytical conversations they do become comical, because it does come
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: down to the immeasurables. When you're talking about a Jalen
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Brunson and this Nick's run. It's just the reality. There's
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: no other way to explain it is. You can measure
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: the points, the rebounds and all these things, but call
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: it what you want. Jalen said, you can't measure you
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: can't measure the heart, and I think he explained to everybody,
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: showed everybody exactly what that means.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the NBA has been a copycat league in a
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: lot of ways, meaning if something is successful, like any
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: other industry, you just do it, you keep doing it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: We saw that with like the Big Three, and but
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: now the three are guys that have played together a
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: long time. Is this something you think could be something
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: that the NBA teams dive into, like past versions of
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: teams that were successful at some other point.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of think this is a unique case.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: I really do. I think the chemistry is such a
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: real thing, you know, belief and love for one another
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: is a trait and a commonality that all championship teams have.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: There's this love.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I was just with j R.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Smith yesterday for breakfast and I said, you know, are
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: you gonna come to the parade. We're gonna have a
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: great time, and he said, I would love to. I'm
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: missing it. I'm flying to go going to London. I'm
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: going to Scotland. I'm going to Santrope with the twenty
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: sixteen championship team with Bron and Kyrie and Richard Jefferson
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: and Kevin Love and those guys. And it's just an
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: example of it's like, you don't win unless your brothers
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: and it creates brotherhood obviously, but I think chemistry is
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: a real thing. But pulling groups of guys from college
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: that I think is pretty unique. You know, these Nova Knicks,
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: you know, with Bridges and Heart and Brunson is a
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: special story that you know. No, I don't think it'll
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: be a trend beyond trying to find guys that truly
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: enjoy each other, that love each other. But this Nova story,
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Nova Nicks is I think maybe once a couple times
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: in a lifetime kind of thing to see.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I saw Josh Hart tweet that he wanted to play golf,
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: and what club and so is New York the kind
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: of place that there will be these clubs that go, hey, man,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: you got a free membership here.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, if you think golf is just the tip
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: of the iceberg, I mean it's those guys aren't buying
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: drinks anywhere, They're not buying dinner. I'd be shocked if
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: they pay for their condos in the city. Their golf
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: memberships are free. They're driving free escalades for the rest
• 36:12
  Speaker 4: of their lives. The dealerships are going to line them up.
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: It's different here. And you hear that and you go, okay,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: what does that mean. It's a bigger population. The fans
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: are crazier. It's been fifty three years. What I mean
• 36:22
  Speaker 4: is this is the financial capital of the world. When
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: you're like, those tickets were crazy for Game four. People
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: were paying you know, one hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars. Yeah. Well,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: imagine if you could go back and do like a
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: redraft for like a two thousand and one NBA draft
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: where you know, you say, this would have really been
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the number one pick, this would be the number two pick.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: If you could do it again, if you could go
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: back and sell those tickets for Game four again, do
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: you know how much more they would go for then
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: they went for? And so I do think the value
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: of what this moment and this championship meant to the
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: people in the city is largely based on their bank accounts.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: A lot of their bank acounts, which means escalate is
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: not a big deal to give these guys, and a
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: golf membership is not a big deal because the value
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: and the moment that this was to the people of
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: New York City and the fans of the Knicks, I
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: think is is not the same if you're in you know,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: small town America, or you're going I'd give that guy
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: five hundred bucks to meet him. They're saying, I'd give you.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I'd give five hundred thousand dollars to meet these guys.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: And so, you know, I think it's these guys' lives
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: are changed, and by change, I mean everything's free forever.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: My final question is did you have something that you
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: were for sure going to say if the Knicks won,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: like you're planned it out, like when it happened, you
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: had your line.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: No, No, I didn't. There's a few games. Yeah, I've
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: been broadcast for nine years, my first year with the
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: Knicks doing broadcast, and there's a few games where you know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: you take your notes, you have your process, You keep
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: the scores at the end of quarters, who's doing what,
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: the trends, the important stuff that happens. Where at the
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: end of the game you just close your notebook and
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: you realize, like, none of the stuff you wrote down
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: has anything to do with what's important right now. And
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: going into game game five, knowing that this was a
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: close out game, the possibility they could win it, you know,
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: I keep my process, you keep your notes, you write
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: the trends, but you realize if you can't be authentic
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: in those moments and it can't be off the cuff
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: and you just speak from the heart, like you're going
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: to be saying the wrong thing. And so I don't
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: actually know what the heck I said. You be honest
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: with you. But but how about a shout out to
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: our guy, Mike Breen. You know, a New York City legend,
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: a Knicks, longtime broadcast legend, just able to say and
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: summarize some of that stuff better than any of us
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: could even dream. And so I think it's just all
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: a treat to get to listen to him do those
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: finals games at the Garden and in San Antonio this
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: year and know that it was it was coming from
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: a beloved place in his heart calling those Knicks games,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: and so working with him is obviously, for myself an
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: unbelievable privilege. I know it was cool to listen to him.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I really appreciate the time. I know this is a
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: very exciting time and you're super busy, So thank you
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: for peeling awesome time with us. Big fan of yours
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: and even when you were playing a market all of
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: it like been following your career the whole time, So
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: thank you for giving us some time.
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: Steve also to be on with you. Appreciate it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve. Okay, before we go, did you watch
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: UFC last night?
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Did?
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: I did?
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Dude? You know how many times I laughed just because
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: the whole thing was funny.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: To me, like what are we doing?
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: Like a cartoon?
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: It's like what are we doing? And then in between
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: matches where if you watch UFC all week, like just
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: all the weeks that they showed UFC, in those breaks
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: they played little like short just features on the on
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: the Fighter, they go to their hometown whatever, and like
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: show them riding a horse in between training. This is
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: all American. This is all like Ronald Reagan talking about
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: how Flag Day was created, and then like World War two,
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the day that harbor guys. It was just funny, Like
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: the whole theme was funny to me.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: It was weird that the military was saluting the fighters.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: Well, okay, see I thought they were saluting the fighters,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: but I think they were saluting the people walking with
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: the fighters, which were veterans and law enforced.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: If that's the case, that feels better the fighters. They
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: should they should have walked out the veterans and lawenforcement
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: by themselves. I completely agree, because it felt like they
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: were saluting the fighters.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: Why are you saluting sugar Sean.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't even think about that.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: I saw that Michael Chandler lost again.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah he didn't lose.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch I watched clips. I know. I watched
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: ESPN get to show pictures because they don't own it. Yeah,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: so I watched pictures.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: He looked that's interesting. He looked like a fighter for
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: about two minutes, and then he looked like us in there,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: like he.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: Felt, don't give us that much credit.
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: I'm just saying he fell uncovered himself.
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: It was just like that guy. I mean, was like
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: way taller than him, his length on him, everything, younger.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: It's just I felt bad for Michael.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Did you watch it?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Up until it's just too late. This is my first
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Sunday night for Sunday nights bad. I mean, I say,
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: up till ten thirty. The Sean O'Malley fight was the
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: last one I saw, so I didn't watch the final two,
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm pissed because the last one, the last one
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: was best one. Everybody was knockout right all night. Every
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: fight was knock out.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think anyone. I don't think one went
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: to a decision.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: You're right, No, how about the big guys.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Derek Lewis. And then there's a guy who I think
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: played for the forty nine ers, like practice squad for
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: like three years. He's a fighter now he's really good.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: He whooped him.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: He whooped, Yeah, he whopped Derek Lewis.
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Did you watch the whole thing?
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing?
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: What time did what was it over?
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Like midnight?
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I.
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: Couldn't stay up.
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh hokit, Josh hoke it dude, he's he's really,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: he's good. He's undefeated, and he's just like he's taking
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: on these big heavyweights and putting it to him. Derek Lewis,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: one shot, you're done. He's just like he's an animal,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: and he survived him after three minutes.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: Derek Lou's like, dude, he was done.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: Did you play golf?
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: How to go?
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: On Saturday it went well. I was telling Eddie he
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: didn't believe me, but I don't believe my. So we
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: did a scramble, me and my buddy versus two of
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: our other friends.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Exactly exactly.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: It's hard to say if you're playing scramble.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: No, but that's what I'm gonna say. My driving is
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: still a lot of work in progress.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Is that a Cobra driver?
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Yep, the free one. But my irons, my free irons
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: are They were good. My approach game was good, my
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: pitching was great, my putting was okay, but my irons
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: for the most part, were pretty dang good. I was
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: very happy with it for not playing in eight months.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: I was happy, Oh, that's your first round since your shoulder. Yeah, okay,
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: And like I.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: Didn't believe him because he played a scramble. That's what
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: it's hard to say you played correct if you played
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: a scramb.
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: I didn't say I played gram just saying I played well.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: And I think the shoulder helps because I'm not trying
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: to kill it because I know I'm going to hurt myself.
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: That's as you guys know, if you're not trying to
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: kill it and you have an easy swing, you just
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: hit it better. So I think it played my advantage
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: in that way.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: What's happened in Father's day.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I might go play golf with my boys.
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a thing now. Me and my two
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: boys are playing golf a lot now and my youngest
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: is playing two. I just don't know if I can
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: take three to the golf course.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: Well, I set a note in my phone because you
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: can't at my club. You can't get a tea time
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: before three days out from grabbing tea times. So I
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: set a note on my phone the morning. Well, I
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: don't know what Caitlyn has planned, but I set a
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: note for Thursday at like six in the morning to
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: say if I could grab like an afternoon time, if
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: I can get that, do you want to play?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Yes? Yeah, do you think Billy's ready to play?
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: Not yet, but she'll just ride.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she could drive the car. I don't know that.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I can get on. I don't
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: know what Kitlyn has playing.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I will clear that day, so I don't know that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: I can get on. And if we can't, I'll just
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: hang out watch some World Cup. Okay, No, but we played.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: We played in Florida and it was fine.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: How'd you play pretty good?
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: You played pretty good? Not you?
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: No?
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: I did.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: I played really good considering he eventually got shot at
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: ninety two and my first again, Adam played a full
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: round and since July of last year. Yeah, I shot
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: like truple truple double, and then I think I shot
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: five over on the back nine.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: Okay, so your back name was better than the front.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, because I'm always opposite, especially in.
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: The heat, and you get warmed up.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: No, I'm a hired, fatigued I was sore the next day,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: for sure.
• 44:35
  Speaker 2: I was pretty happy with the ninety two. Considering Adam
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: play in New Year.
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's good.
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: I'll say. Bobby kind of has a handicap his eyesight.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: I know, it's like what but sometimes he like hits
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: the ball and you're like, dude, that was way left.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Isn't the hole that way? I'm like, nod the hole.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: That happens sometimes too, where I'll see a green and
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: I think it's a flag, like that's not the hole.
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: And like he'll hit it left and be like yes,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and we're like, dude, yeah, the hole is that way.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: There were a few times that I filmed, Aron'd like
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm out of range. I mean, there's the hole
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: over there, and it's like coming right for me, Like oh.
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: God, you know, and I feel bad for you because
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: like I forget that, like you can't see well.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: I have to be put on. I need like a
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: dog dog dude the whole.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: There was this one conversation because at this place we played,
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: we had have a caddy and the caddy is like,
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: all right, you see the you see the hole, and
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Bobby's like, I don't see the flag. He's like, all right,
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: do you see the sand trap? And they went home
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: for like five minutes and I was like the sand trap?
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: What's sand trap? No, there's a sand trap right there.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: He's like the one behind. No, it's actually in front.
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: And Bobby's like, I don't see it.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: It was a whole happit in Costello, who's on first act.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: That's great, But I try to tell people, hey, I
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: can't see very well. My depth perception is bad too,
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: so if you can help me out. But there are
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: times where I think the hole's are different, and if
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: there are two greens that are kind of near each other,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: they look like they're on the same spot. I can
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: see the other one first and think that's the one
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: we're playing towards. Yeah, but mostly I can ask questions.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: But on a brand new course that we never we
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: never played, it was a bit different.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I could see that sometimes the confusing. We almost
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: teed off on the wrong hold. The other day it
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: went the wrong way because they were like, there's one
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: roundabout and there's like three ties right there, and we're
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: like and then this ladies, like, you guys are over here.
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: Actually they were like, gotcha.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: It's like all the nineties movies where the person picks
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: up the rocket launcher to shoot forward and yeah, that's naked. Good,
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: that's us on the golf course. Okay, that's gonna do it.
