  Speaker 1: Yeah, that Uh, Chuck Norris was chasing the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: The rex was not chasing the jeep. Murray, Murray, you there.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: You love sandwiches. Huh, let's go to eighty. He was
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: bo wow that Prime Time. Maybe I had a crush
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: on Betty Rubbell.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I honestly, until after the segment ended and we went
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: to a commercial break, had no idea that Jonathan Coachman
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: was black.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: He caught them the game last night, although they won
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the game. You're listening to to Godson Company.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: It is to Gods and Company, presented by FanDuel and
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: the FanDuel Sportsbook.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: A lot of NBA news. NBA Draft is coming up
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: tomorrow night.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Ad Nan Burke is going to join us in just
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: a little bit. We'll have the week can observations. We'll
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: do those with ad Dan today. But is he a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: big day in the NBA? Not only are we sitting
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: around and we realized, but the time you listen to this,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: all of this could be dated. Okay if news breaks,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: but we are sitting around waiting to see if Giannis
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: gets traded to the Boston Celtics or the Heat, and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: we have news that actually did happen, which is Dusty May,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the head coach at Michigan who won a national championship.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: He is now the coach for the Dallas Mavericks. How
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: about that?
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Yes, the DM and Dusty May stands for Dallas Mavericks.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: The rare coach whose initials are also the initials of
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the team that he coaches.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Of that, oh man, another example.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I'll wait here all day Washington.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Yeller's thinking about it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: I guarantee you know, and this is not a shot
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: at Dusty right, this is a good basketball coach whatever.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: No veteran NBA player on that in that Mavericks locker
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: room wants to be coached by Dusty May next year
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: because they know nothing is going to be really expected
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: of this team. But there's a lot going on, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: the big sort of waiting game is on Giannis Antetokoup
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: and whether he's going to get traded. And there's news
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: that there's these a final The two finalists are the
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Celtics in the heat, which cracks me up because it's
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: like free agency all over again. But still, we talked
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: last week about whether it would be better for the
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: league if he went to one or the other. There
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: seems to be some momentum saying that it'd be better
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: if he does go to Miami. What I'm curious about
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: is if Jalen Brown is enough of an incentive for
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: anybody to really for the Bucks excuse me for to
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: change the direction of where they're going with that trade,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: because if you're starting a team with Jalen Brown as
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: your best player, I know he won the finals.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: MVP, but that team was stacked.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: It had Jason Tatum, it had Drew Holliday, it had
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: Kristaps Porzingis, it had Derek White and so I don't
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: think if you're trading for Jalen Brown as somebody who's
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: got Jannis Antetokounpo that you think you hit a home
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: run with the trade.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think Jalen Brown thinks differently about his own game
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: than we think about his game. Meaning Jalen Brown would
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: just point the last season and say, hey, before Jason
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Tatum came back, we were doing fine.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: We exceeded expectations.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: With me as the number one, which is why he
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: said this was the most enjoyable basketball season he's ever
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: had because he finally got to see what it would
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: like to what it would be like for him to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: be the number one player on a team, and it
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: looked pretty good, is he, to his credit, it looked
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: pretty good.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting here and I'm looking at this from.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Milwaukee's perspective, and I'm saying, Hey, I don't want Tyler
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Hero and picks. Give me a guy Jalen Brown who
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: was a finals MVB and as the best player on
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: this Celtics team.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: That team was a.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Two or three seed in the Eastern Conference before Tatum
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: came back.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: You know, yeah, I mean at that point, yeah, You've
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: got to tell yourself, Okay, I can win with this guy,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: because really, you're talking about the future, you're talking about
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: the picks, and you're talking about finding a way to
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: build a championship team, and that's got to be a
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: true rebuild. There's nothing it's not going to involve Tyler
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Hero in all likelihood.
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: It seems like all the reports are that the Miami
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: Heat know that Jalen Brown is on the table and
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: now they're trying to find a third or fourth team
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: to make the deal even better for Milwaukee, where maybe
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: it's a case of you send Tyler Herro to Detroit
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: and then Detroit sending assets back to the Bucks is he.
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: There was a report from the Miami heralds Anthony Chiang,
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: and he said the Miami Heat don't want to gut
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: their roster and draft capital for Giannis Antetokumpo. What that
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: sounds like to me? Pat Riley getting ahead of the
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: story and being like, hey, guys, when I don't get
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: this guy, don't be mad at me because I kind
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: of put it out there. We weren't that interested in
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: gutting gutting the roster.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Right, well, I offered my entire roster.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I mean there's literally everybody that was listed
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: on there except for Bam out of Bayou, and like, yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: there's not like they're holding off because of Andrew Wiggins.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: It's not like they're holding off because they're asking for
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Davion Mitchell or anything like that. So yeah, it is
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: one of those situations. And it makes me sad because
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: you know, like Stu, you know, this is the one
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: where if they don't get Yannis, they're just gonna pull
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: every other trigger available. It's gonna be like, hey, let's
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: go for Kawhi. Okay, maybe let's add him with Ja
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Morant Hey let's see what we got. And then you've
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: got a team full of non heat guys because you
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: just swing and at whoever.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Is non culture guys, right, and you're desperate.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: You're right, Yes, you're swinging for the fences with Jahn
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Morant and Kawhile and just crossing your fingers.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I gotta be honest. It sounds exciting though, Kawhi Leonard
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: and Joah Morant. It does.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: It would be It would be the most boomer bust
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: team in history. It could be like a seventy win team,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: or it could be like, you know, a thirty win
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: rebuild team where everybody sits out the entire season.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Yes, but Stu, you know this right now, me and you,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: we're sitting on top of the mountaintop. We're looking down
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: at the rest of the NBA. The rest of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: NBA is crawling trying to get up this hill to
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: catch Jalen Brunton, Karl Anthony Towns, o Gann Andobi in
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: the Knicks. I'm looking at some of the graphics that
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: people are putting out of projected starting lineups if their
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: teams get Jannis and I'm looking at the Celtics one
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Peyton Pritchard, Derek White, Jason Tatum, Jannis and creates a
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: at the center position. I'm looking at that team and
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: I'm like, this, this is the starting five.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: You want me to be afraid of as a This
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: is the team that takes us out?
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: Is he?
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: People wanted us to act like we've been there before,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: but again, we've never been here before.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm with Taylor.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: What a great feeling to sit back and read about
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: and watch what everyone has to do to catch the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: New York Knicks.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Oh, it's a lightful.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: You gotta start a super team to stop this team.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But no, you're so right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Isn't enough?
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Giannis is not enough?
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Like I'm looking at that team, I'm like, yeah, no,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: that's that's definitely not enough. And then you've got and
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: the frustrations will still be there. Jason Tatum doesn't go
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: inside enough, Coopo can't shoot outside enough.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna have a perfect team.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Right, Yes, this is an amazing place we've arrived that tailor.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: The NBA is saying, can I get some time an
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: easy street?
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, the NBA is saying, we saw how interesting it was,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: and when the Knicks were winning and everybody loved it.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Now we need some player movement because I think there's
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: gonna be a lot of activity right before this draft.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Tell her you'll love this just the way Karl Anthony
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Towns he handled Wemby, in the way the Knicks handled
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Wemby in the NBA Finals. Up sitting there going big deal, Yannis,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: go wherever the hell you want.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: You should join the Knicks if you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Want to win a title. That's how cocky I was
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: over the weekend. Go to Boston, go to Miami. We
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: stopped Wemby. We don't sweat you. I mean, get out
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: of here.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: So I love how that not even a week after
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: the Knicks win a title, I did see Knicks fans
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: and media members wfa N circulating the thought, Hey, eventually
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: the Knicks are going to get into second apron talk
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: with Carl Anthony Towns. Is this the time you move
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: on from Carl Anthony Towns and offer him up and
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: a Yan is traded. I'm like thinking, guys, I have
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: waited my entire life for the Knicks to win a title.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: Please please do not put any of our star players
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: in trade talks until at least next year's trade deadline. Well,
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: I us just all enjoy this, this title run where
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Vincent Goodwell's on Get Up, saying that Carl Anthony Towns
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: is still upset over how the Knicks treated him. Carl
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Anthony Towns is not upset over anything right now, because
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: you know why, Stu, He's an NBA champion. Everybody doubted him,
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: myself included. Yeah, but Karl Anthony Towns has no problems
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: with anybody.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: In fairness to you, you doubted him when you close
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: your eyes. I mean.
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: I didn't have blind faith in Karl Anthony Towns.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: No, you did it, But now we do, and I would.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with Karl Anthony town spending the next twenty
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: years here ten of them passed his prime and just
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: retiring as a New York Nick.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I'm fine with this group of guys being Knicks for
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the next ten years.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I don't care if they win another game. Don't they
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: won a title? What do I care? Is that fair?
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Is he?
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Except when I tell you, as soon as I do
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: all the calculations, what Karl Anthony Town's is final numbers
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: were in those finals, You'd say, yeah, we could find
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: a more inexpensive version of that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Because a step down are over there.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm just saying you might not have to
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: go into that second apron if you don't need to.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Right, So, the Heat would have Giannis and Bam and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that's about it, right, I mean.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Have Giannis Bam Andrew Wiggins.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: Still, they could probably still bring back Norm Powell if
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: they wanted to end Davion Mitchell. And that is a
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: pretty like it's solid defensive lineup. Like outside of Norm Powell,
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: those are four plus plus defenders and it's gonna be
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: really hard to score on them. But you know, if
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: they have to give up everybody where they don't have
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: anybody on the bench, like no Pella Larson or no
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Haimi Hokias or no anybody on that bench, then yeah,
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: they're going to struggle some.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: But that starting lineup, it's gonna be pretty sick.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Is he.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: What I'm surprised about is the Celtics don't think they're
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: good enough. They were up three to one on Philadelphia,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: they were on the verge of playing the Knicks in
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference Finals. I don't know what happened in
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that sixer series, and Beide came back.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: He was ridiculous.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: The Sixers end up winning that series, but the Celtics
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: are waving the white flat. They're saying this team is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: not good enough to beat the New York Knicks, and
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I find that to be amazing.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I really do.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I think if you just compare, like I did a
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: little earlier, this Celtics team to the one that won
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: a championship, you recognize, yeah, we are a little talent deficient.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: We were able to win with our style and with
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: our two stars and you know, two and a half
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: stars if you want to include Derek White in there.
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: But yeah, no, if we're going to get through the
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: four because even that twenty four season, it was it
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: was tough. Right the year before they were or two
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: years before they were supposed to win it and they
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: lost to the Warriors, and that team was stacked. So
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: they're probably looking back and say, hey, we had a
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: heck of a regular season, but that postseason tells us
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: more about who we are, you know, than that regular
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: season too.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: You want Giannis down here in the worst way, don't you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: Of course you do me as a South Floridian, of course,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: but I do think like if there were other places
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: in the league he could go to that were finalists,
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: I would say, yeah, let me think about that.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Like, even Portland deserves something.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Right and they have Drew Holliday over there, and you know,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: there could have been a bit of a reunion.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: There, and I would say that team deserves it more.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: But between these two, between Boston and Miami, I just
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: think the league's in a better place.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: If he's in Miami right now.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Where could Jannis go? Where he would where in the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: East I'm saying where that team would be good enough
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to challenge the next in the Eastern Conference finals.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Well, Detroit would be one easily. I think the Cavaliers
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: would be one. If you replace Giannis, replace either of
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: those two guys up front with Giannis, probably Motley with
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: the honest I think that's a difference maker, you know.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think now that you've got CJ. McCollum back,
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: I think the Atlanta Hawks could he could do something
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: with Giannis at the decream, But no talk about it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: This is why I say I said last week, if
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: he comes to Miami, like, regardless of what the actual
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: final playoff result is, they're gonna win fifty five ish games.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: They're going to be a successful team. And the move
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: will look so successful and we'll all wonder, hey, can
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: they finish the deal in the playoffs. So that's how
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: great of a player he is as long as he's healthy.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: If Tyler Herrow goes to Milwaukee, man, that guy will
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: lead the NBA in scoring.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: I mean he's gonna have a lot of shots.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: I think, Like, like Taylor said earlier, the most recent
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: reporting is that he ends up in Detroit and the
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Duncan Robinson reunion, and man, that would be pretty cool.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: And not that reunion, but the idea that he goes
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to a place where I have this number one score
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: in Kate Cunningham right here, I'm his outlet. I'm a
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: guy that if I have a thirty point game, we're
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: definitely gonna win. And if I don't, it's not all
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: the pressure on me. I would love to see him
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: in Detroit.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: That's when Heroes at his best, when he plays alongside
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Jimmy Butler, when he's not the number one option.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Right, they went to the finals, right, I think he'll.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Tell you that, right, He's like, I'm not a number
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: one option for a finals team, but I'm a.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Heck of a number two.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Mike. Yeah, you've been making faces the entire time.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: You do not like where Taylor and I have arrived
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: as cocky, confident Nick fans.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Right, you don't like it, you hate it.
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: No, just a few things like I'm sitting here and
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: I'm just taking mental notes as you guys are going
• 12:28
  Speaker 7: back and forth, like here's a day where Dusty May
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: is going from Michigan to the Dallas Mavericks and Jannie
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: is going to move to either Boston or Miami. And
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: somehow it all became about the Knicks because Taylor had that,
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: which is great. That's what that's what you get to do,
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: is the champion is all about. And then and then
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: the other thing was Stu Gott saying, I don't care
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: if Karl Anthony Towns is on this team for ten years.
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: If they start zero to three, you'll be screaming for
• 12:53
  Speaker 7: them to start making some moves.
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: I know you, and that's what's great about you. Yeah,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I did say ten years. I said twenty years. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you're right. If they go zer and three, I will
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: fire him. Yep, I'll trade him.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But right now I'm still in the moment.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Can I enjoy it?
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: And I didn't say, you asked me I wasn't gonna
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: say anything.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: But you're annoyed by us?
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Amused? Amused by us? Is he before we get to
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: ad Nan here?
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: And I think people aren't really well, maybe they are
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: paying attention to this piece of this puzzle here. What
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: a big day, this is, What a big moment this
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: is for pat Riley. It shouldn't be eusy. His legacy,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, is cemented. But people are
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: starting to question whether Riley can attract a big time
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: free agent or attract or make a big time deal anymore.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: And I think it's laughable.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, he has cemented his legacy with me, but if
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: he doesn't get this done and doesn't get Yannis here,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and Yannis ends up going to Boston and Brad Stevens,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be a bad couple of days down here
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: for Riley.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know what I find it's been tough.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Like when you think about the moves that he made
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: back in the day, they were all made or like
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: greenlit because he had Dwayne Wade as part of the organization,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: because he was you know, drafted by the organization, was
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: clearly great and was going to be there for a
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: long time, Like he's basically doing that same sales job
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: all these years with only Bam out of Bayo, and
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a tougher ask, it's a tougher sell.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: And so if he gets it done now with Giannis,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: it would be like, great, I got it done. But
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: he'll realize, man, like I need you need that home
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: grown talent, you need that special player. You need that,
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: you know, like the Bucks have in Giannis or the
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Celtics had in Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum. It's like, hey,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: we know Jason Tatum's not going everywhere, going anywhere.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Come with us. We've shown we can win with.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: This guy as our leader. Let's go ahead and close
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: that deal. There's just so many question marks when it
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: comes to Bam. It's like, yeah, he got close with Jimmy,
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: but who is he really and so it just makes
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: you nervous about it. But I do think they would
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: be capable will have closed the deal.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Taylor put it on the poll, will Tyler Harrow or
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Jalen Brown lead the NBA in scoring next year?
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: If Jalen Brown is a Buck, I would say, yeah,
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: that's that's a pretty good bet.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that Tyler's not going there. You're saying, though, now
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I doubt it.
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: I mean it is interesting because his brother did put
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: up the picture of a buck and make it thing like,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: you know, he's coming back home.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: But that was earlier in the end, negogion.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: But if Jalen Brown thought last year was fun, imagine
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: what it's like in Milwaukee where no one cares.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: It'll be a good question.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: It'll be a good question whether it's like, hey, I'm
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: averaging thirty five, but nobody notices.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: That we lost in a playing game.
• 15:40

  Speaker 10: But I still at the workout classes because it's a

  Speaker 9: You feel like I'm building a little bit of a
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: you know, kinship with my wife still hasn't impacted our
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: sex life.
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: But unless I'm trying to do it right, then over
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: this off in the bedroom.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: At some point.
• 17:40
  Speaker 9: But I got to tell you, I was listening to
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: the podcast of yours to catch up that Randy Fun
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: conversation is.
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: One of the funniest.
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: I cannot wait to bext Levatar just pictures of Randy Fund.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, why are you doing this to me?
• 17:55
  Speaker 9: Like just like pop up Randy Fun And the fact
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: that Taylor new had to spell Randy fund name. Yes again,
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: the audience has to listen to this. The story was
• 18:04
  Speaker 9: so well told by Hawk but basically let me turn
• 18:06
  Speaker 9: when ape shit because see, wasn't there Randy Fund. There
• 18:10
  Speaker 9: was two points and he concractually obligated go on the show.
• 18:13
  Speaker 9: It's a weekly appearance. Yes, heard lost his mind. Over
• 18:16
  Speaker 9: Of all the people you.
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: Would think that would Dan would be upset over.
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: Randy Fund, p f un d be the one I
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: would expect.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: It was weird.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: So for those of you, there is a new episode
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: of Winstegots and Hawk.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: It is out right now. We break down the spelling Bee.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: In addition to talking about Randrandy Fund. We did have
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: the uh so. We were contractually obligated. We were the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Heat's flagship radio station, and part of that deal was
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: a you know, we would rotate pat Riley, Eric Spolstra
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and Randy Fund. I will tell you that every third week.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, it's Fund's week again. But
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: there's nothing we could do about it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I mean that was the.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Contract, actual obligation that we had.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: And Dan was on vacation.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Why because Randy Fund's week was up, And so Dan
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: decided to call into the show. We had five or
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: six minutes before we had to break. Randy Fun was
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: gonna join us next, and Lebratard went.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: A hopman for kicking him off his show. For Randy Fund.
• 19:18
  Speaker 9: Every game in the book he's calling Hawkman like literally
• 19:21
  Speaker 9: just cursing this calling.
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: You wouldn't believe he went Craig Carton on Dan LeBatard.
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: It was that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 9: It was unbelievable the level of rage over Randy Fund.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, I think it's a level of rage of
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: getting kicked off your own show by your executive producer,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: who's your.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: Best friend, who you hired? Hawk didn't give a bleep.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: Dude, I got you guys every Monday, every third Monday,
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: and alarm goes off, and.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It's like, damn it, Fund Week, what are we gonna do?
• 19:50
  Speaker 9: All I'm prying for Stu is that Randy Funds here
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: is that story because he has no idea the emount
• 19:56
  Speaker 9: of animals that he caused between LeBatard and Hawkman, life,
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: long friends, college buddies and all of a sudden, just
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: an eruption of amount Hell and us. And this guy's
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: going with his life, Randy Fun doing his thing. He
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: has no idea how despised he was. Is a weekly guest.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: No, and Dan should really think about.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: You know what a difficult Spotty left me and alone
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: with Randy Fun for twenty minutes, which feels like three hours.
• 20:17
  Speaker 9: I mean, like the different circles of hell, like there's
• 20:22
  Speaker 9: nothing better than our priles.
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: We'll see you in hell, but we have to category
• 20:25
  Speaker 10: for Randy Fun.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Like that's here's a version of hel make Randy fund
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: interesting for twenty minutes. He has so much respect for
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the heat for Randy Fund. He does not like that
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: we're making fun of him. I mean I was fun
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of him. I knew it was Kevin.
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was a young reporter and Randy Fund I
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: looked like he was the GM of the team that
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: I covered.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: You know, those people have this like aura about them,
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: and it's like, wow, this guy.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: And then he left and I heard some stories and
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: then you see other.
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: People take the spot, and I'm like, I shouldn't have
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: been so afraid of Randy Fund.
• 21:04
  Speaker 10: I think we get a house party.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Was there a good time?
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: Is he's here, Stu's here, Taylor's great?
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Fun just walked or Randy?
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: We love you, Randy, very accomplished man.
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: The character assassination for Indy Fund?
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: Oh god?
• 21:27
  Speaker 9: Also, what an incredible story Sampson want you guys to
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: watch let It Ride Richard Rifu's horse racing?
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: Like what an awful I do? Who the hell cares
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: about let it ride off?
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Well?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Samson did, uh, and he does that he still does.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: It's funny.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: We were feeling so good about ourselves as a radio
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: show that we thought we could pull anything off, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: so even David Sampson joining us for the movie Let
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: It Ride. Okay, it was something we thought was gonna
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: pack a movie theater and man where.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: We served up some humble pie that night. I gotta
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: tell you, no one showed up best parts.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Dan calling Hawk the next day like, hey, how can
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: we avoid that?
• 22:04
  Speaker 9: Right?
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: We can have that happen.
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: He wants a checklist, and you said, just give me
• 22:08
  Speaker 10: one idea. Don't bring Samson?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, low attendance follows him.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: I mean to be fair stud when everything is riding high,
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: as you say, bringing Samson in is an ambitious like
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: heat check.
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: I think you're going so well, let's the only deal
• 22:26
  Speaker 10: with Samson?
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: Okay, now we know like that, that's where we we overstated.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Are welcome? Right?
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: And I just acknowledged your guts is on fire today.
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: The low attendance follows him is one of those that
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: should have taken a little bit more time to be good.
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Well, it's only because I said it yesterday on the episode.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, well you're still on fire.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I was locked and loaded ride.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: What a big day on the pitch ad Dan, I mean, wow,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: today this is the day. But waiting for you circle
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: this day on your calendar where the schedule comes out.
• 22:59
  Speaker 9: This is what I want to get to to. Everyone's
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: talking about the World Cup, and I get it. I'm
• 23:02
  Speaker 9: not gonna be that guy besmirching soccer, although I'll point
• 23:05
  Speaker 9: out since nineteen eighty six, I've been hearing people every
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: four years ago, Hey, soccer is taken over a time
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: of right now, soccer is it's gonna take over baseball.
• 23:12
  Speaker 10: NBA focused me the biggest sport.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: I've been hearing that for forty years.
• 23:15
  Speaker 10: But it's all good. I understand it's a very popular sport.
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: It is the world's game, and it gets more popular incrementally,
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: no doubt. I never thought i'd see Premier League highlights
• 23:22
  Speaker 9: and sports and for example, I know friends who now
• 23:24
  Speaker 9: cover it followed more so. Absolutely, soccer is growing. What
• 23:27
  Speaker 9: I'm amused by is a couple of things. One is
• 23:29
  Speaker 9: he's very pro Scotland. I wouldn't have thought of all
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: the teams. Is he's throwing his weight behind the Scots.
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: I'm amused by that now. And I'm watching Okay the
• 23:36
  Speaker 9: other Tuesday. So I got to start get into the soccer.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: Everyone's into it. I feel like I'm listening out four matches,
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: four matches all ended in draws.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Imagine what a day.
• 23:44
  Speaker 9: Hey another nail, nail, another one one another two too.
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: That's what I'm talking about, trying to slam baseball's.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Oh, baseball is boring.
• 23:51
  Speaker 9: Nothing happens because what runs do get scored? The Blue
• 23:54
  Speaker 9: Jays were down and five nothing against the Cubs and
• 23:56
  Speaker 9: then rebounded to win eight to five. The twenty three
• 23:59
  Speaker 9: runs the Rocky score the other day in Vegas. It's
• 24:01
  Speaker 9: not gonna be Neil, Neil if you watch a nine
• 24:03
  Speaker 9: in baseball.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: Game, I promised somebody built score runs.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: How fun are the Scots?
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, the Scots are great.
• 24:10
  Speaker 10: Listen, I'm pro Scott's There's no doubt about it.
• 24:12
  Speaker 9: The other issue is this selfishly, it's impacting my life
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: because where the game is taking place, matt Life Stadium,
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: Where's ill never located, Seacawcas, New Jersey. That's five minutes away.
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: So to get to work, I'm on the seventeen. Then
• 24:22
  Speaker 9: I got to go to the three Meadowlands Parkway right
• 24:24
  Speaker 9: to work. Today We've got a howitzer coming up at
• 24:27
  Speaker 9: eight o'clock Eastern. Show is ten thirty to twelve thirty
• 24:31
  Speaker 9: AM MLB tonight, So I'm curious how this is going
• 24:34
  Speaker 9: to impact the traffic.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Only because anyway Senegal is in Norway, Senegal is.
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: That would be impacting my life here in late June.
• 24:42
  Speaker 9: I'm trying to get to work, just trying to talk
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: a little baseball, and I have to worry about Senegalese
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: fans and Norwegians populating Jersey going for I don't.
• 24:51
  Speaker 10: Know how to play them this like, so I get
• 24:52
  Speaker 10: their super early to get there later. Mike, you had
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: tickets to that game.
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: I have tickets to that game.
• 24:56
  Speaker 6: Did you want them? I'll sell them to you.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Wait, do you already sell them?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 25:00
  Speaker 6: But I mean I can.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I can. If I can get ad in to give
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: me more money, I'll take that, get them back. That's right.
• 25:05
  Speaker 9: Hopefully there's not too much traffic too, because think about it,
• 25:08
  Speaker 9: people are coming from New York. They're not coming from
• 25:10
  Speaker 9: where I live in North Jersey. They're not coming from
• 25:11
  Speaker 9: suburban New Jersey to go to MetLife. So it should
• 25:14
  Speaker 9: be just all the congestion from New York and mainly people.
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: I would think Penn Station, it's the trains that are disaster.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: NJ Transit forget it. But I think driving I should
• 25:22
  Speaker 9: be okay. But I blame Norway and Senegal, and I'll
• 25:24
  Speaker 9: hold a grudge against them for.
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: A man.
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: You mentioned the frequency of which they're being draws so
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: far to this World Cup. I actually have this stat.
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: If you bet one hundred dollars on draw in every
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: match so far in the World Cup, you'd be up
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: a little over three thousand dollars.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Well on no goals, yes see, no, no those ties ties.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: If you've bet one hundred dollars on the tie in
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: each match, you'd be up over three thousand dollars.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: Tailor just figured out this way to make soccer interesting.
• 25:55
  Speaker 9: He just draws the entire way. Bet on it and
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: you're good to go.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I have to.
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: My mom moved from Pakistan to England when she was young,
• 26:02
  Speaker 9: so all my families in England, all my cousins in
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: the group that they're going nuts. This is what the
• 26:05
  Speaker 9: world's about. World Cup wards not so sorry. I'll watch
• 26:07
  Speaker 9: England matches, of course, I'll support family.
• 26:09
  Speaker 10: The England match four too was great, and after everyone's like, dude,
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: that was the best match by far, I gotta be
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: honest with you.
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: It was fine. I mean they won.
• 26:18
  Speaker 9: But if someone tells me that's the best that our
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: sport has to offer him. Like that was a five,
• 26:22
  Speaker 9: Like they won four to two. Harry Kane a couple
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: of goals. That guy is awesome. I'm like, that's the
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: best your sport has to offer. That's your game seven,
• 26:29
  Speaker 9: that that is your game four. Nicks come down it
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: like wow, I'm just astonished to see what a one
• 26:35
  Speaker 9: on your scale registers.
• 26:36
  Speaker 10: That's Spain, Ivory Coast, Neil Mill.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: That was no reds pirates.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: That's what we're saying.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: You know, I could get a set of bagpipes, but
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: like they're fifteen hundred, like two thousand dollars for bagpipes.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think I would ever pay that much.
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: I wonder if I get like a bootleg version and
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: just kind of walk the streets playing the bagpipe.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Like guy wants to move to Scotland.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: They're coming down to South Florida, that man.
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: But think of Scott's bagpipes come to mind immediately. Greenery,
• 27:03
  Speaker 9: like the lushness of the atmosphere, the castles.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: The only ones of the Scotts. That's diet. But the
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Kilts is good. That diet is brutal.
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: Hagis is just like, oh, my god, like the diet
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: would go to shit.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: If you get no but ad Dan.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Imagine if you're from Norway and all the beauty that
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: surrounds you when you live in Norway, and then you're
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: talking to with.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Secaucus, New Jersey.
• 27:27
  Speaker 10: It puts the cock in secaccus.
• 27:28
  Speaker 9: There's no nothing quite like the swamp of the metal
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: Lands for these Norwegians.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: We don't have Oslo, Thank god, do you guys?
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: I want to go?
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know that. I'm sorry, I just got I
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: was just I don't like.
• 27:40
  Speaker 9: The fact we will start using soccer vernacular in other sports.
• 27:43
  Speaker 9: To be clear, I have no issue with someone saying
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: Neil Niler too nil.
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: I get that's that's the vernacular.
• 27:47
  Speaker 9: I don't necessarily mind if someone says it's on the
• 27:49
  Speaker 9: pitch rather than saying the field.
• 27:50
  Speaker 10: I start to get a.
• 27:51
  Speaker 9: Note when people start to say, hey, with the guards
• 27:53
  Speaker 9: to the Mets, they could play with some more pace.
• 27:55
  Speaker 9: I gokay, just shut the hell up. I think what
• 27:57
  Speaker 9: you mean to say is they should be faster on
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: the bases. Don't start using in other places. I wish
• 28:03
  Speaker 9: there was more pace with regards to the Vegas Golden
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: Knights hockey team. If your soccer okay, So.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I gotta push back on that.
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: I gotta push back because equalizer is one of the
• 28:13
  Speaker 7: best terms in sports. Imagine somebody hits a game tying
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: home run and there's the equalizer.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: That's awesome.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: But I was thinking about this over the weekend. I
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: think it just works well in soccer. I don't think
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: it works well in other sports. You know, yeah, I
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: mean if I hear someone so I gotta go take
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: the lift.
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: I'm like, come o, listen in soccer one day, you
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: want to see the elevator. Fine, I'll allow on soccer.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: Anywhere else, excuse me, Like, oh, Google, I go to
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: the loo, Like come on.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: I just googled what haggis is and I don't care
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: to go to Scotland anymore.
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: I just saw it completely changed. With one thought.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: It's a savory pudding containing sheep's heart, liver and lungs,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: minced with chopped onion oatmeal something I don't understand how
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: to say, and then seasonings and salt and then wrapped
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: in the animals so growth add in.
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: I think the two biggest things going for this World
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Cup right now is one the star factor has been
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: off the charts. You get the hat trick from Messi,
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: the braces from Holland and Bope Moslo scores for Egypt yesterday.
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: The other thing, USA might actually be pretty good in
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: this World Cup where they win consecutive World Cup games
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: for the first time since nineteen thirty and then they're
• 29:29
  Speaker 5: asking lots On Ibrahimovich in the post game after the
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: Australian matching, he said, Rebecca Lo just asked him pretty
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: pretty straightforward.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: Can the US win the World Cup? He said, yes.
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: Yep, lots On Yeah, and listen, I will say the
• 29:42
  Speaker 9: desk has been great.
• 29:43
  Speaker 10: I love Alexi Lawas from our days at ESPN.
• 29:45
  Speaker 9: He was good friends my buddy Max Sprados, so Laalas
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: can always take a joke too, Tierryan Ree Ibrahimovitch, those
• 29:49
  Speaker 9: guys love giving him the gears obviously.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Rebcchelo terrific host. And you're right.
• 29:53
  Speaker 9: There's one thing about Americans I've learned living in this
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: country now for sixteen years.
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: On a national level, the team's good.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: People will care.
• 29:58
  Speaker 10: You know, USA hockey. If it's in the Olympics Gold
• 30:01
  Speaker 10: Mell against Canada, people are locked in.
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: They couldn't give a crap about the National predators in March,
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: but you would say hockey rint so similarly with soccer,
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: who only cares with Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
• 30:10
  Speaker 9: But if USA can win a title on home soil,
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: that would be remarkable. So I absolutely with you, Taylor,
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: the fact that if USA can win it as a
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: legit good team, I wouldn't even know what's the best
• 30:18
  Speaker 9: America's ever done.
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: I'm guessing round of sixteen.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: I think quarter final.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: I think a quarter final he.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Didn't get to a seventy'd be great. And I do
• 30:23
  Speaker 9: love the star power. I don't know the thing about him,
• 30:25
  Speaker 9: but I do love saying himbappe.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: Because I was driving.
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: Back there was a France game and I just started, Hey, yeah,
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: that guy is awesome. And I do love Osala. If
• 30:34
  Speaker 10: I had one player, I love most solid with Egypt.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: That guy's sick. I do love him.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: He's great.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Taylor put it on the pole.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Could most Salad be the name of your bookie?
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: Jill pretty good here at Churchill down there, just gonna
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: make a.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: And then you said, Alexei Lawless can take a joke. Yeah,
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: you would have to right now, right I'd have to
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: be able to because he's taking a beating, no question.
• 31:01
  Speaker 9: I mean for years is he he was like the
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: one good player, right, he was the one good defender
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: that they had for USA Soccer and wasn't really good.
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: So it's like, all right, I'm the good player and
• 31:09
  Speaker 10: a bad team, so to speak.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: And he's really good on television, right, He's funny, he's
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: articulate obviously on sports and our courses, et cetera.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: So you're right with those guys.
• 31:16
  Speaker 9: I'm like, Hey, I'm up against a couple of studs here.
• 31:18
  Speaker 9: Like everyone, even a casual soccer fan knows how good
• 31:20
  Speaker 9: hebrhimip is. Even a casual knows how good TYROLR is.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: So you're right.
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: It's it's okay, I'm a player.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I know my stuff.
• 31:25
  Speaker 9: Okay, wait, but I'm not quite at this level. So
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: I I lawas knows. He knows his terrain, so to speak.
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: He knows with whom he's dealing with.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, do you guys think the United States could win it?
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I'll start with Izzy, I'll start with you. Laton said
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that he did not hesitate.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: He hasn't waivered.
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Since he's doing a thing, the thing that I tell
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: everyone to do, why not just pick the United States.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: If they win, you look like a genius. If they don't,
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: no one will remember. Do you think the United States
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: can win?
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: I'm judging it more based on who else I've seen,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: and I'm pretty much seen almost every match, and I
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: don't see anybody just jumping off the TV screen for
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: me in terms of this team is definitely going to be,
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: you know, a semi finalist even or or make a
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: run Argentina maybe if Messi is.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: Staying on that level of form.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: But uh, I see the US matches and I'm just like, yeah,
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: there's nothing that I feel I can absolutely overwhelm them.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: They're good up front, the midfield is strong.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: Defensively they can you know, be a leak a little bit,
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: but I haven't really seen it yet. So if they
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: look like they can, you know, stay with these other
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: teams and beat these teams that are below them, then
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: why wouldn't they be, you know, competing.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: I'd like to use my time to talk with the
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: fact Canada won their first World Cup match ever.
• 32:35
  Speaker 10: Canada been in two previous World Cups oh and three.
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Both times this time we tie Bosnia Bosnia country three million. Well,
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: we tied them and then just smash the crap out
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: of Qatar. Six nail for Canada. So yeah, well it's
• 32:48
  Speaker 9: ultimately Canada Switzerland, big game on Wednesday.
• 32:51
  Speaker 10: But if USA wins, I'd be thrilled. But if not,
• 32:53
  Speaker 10: let's just get Canada to the group stage.
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: I'd be thrilled. Yep, they need something. I feel good
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: for Canada, right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: Beat us in hockey in the men's, to beat us
• 33:02
  Speaker 9: in hockey in the women's. Just let us get to
• 33:04
  Speaker 9: the group stage of the World Cup.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: That would be enough.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, Taylor, how are you feeling about As the biggest
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: soccer fan amongst us here, how do you feel about
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the US? You know their chances of winning the whole thing.
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: It was the first to declare the team as electric,
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: so he was.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: He said this could be their year.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: In his defense, he said before Latzon said it, he
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: said this could be their year before they were two
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: and zho he said this could be their year.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: He did so.
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: I think saying they could win it is a bit
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: too much right now, because you'd like to see them
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: do it in the groups, in the knockout stage beforehand,
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: and right now, the biggest concern is Polisic is injured.
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: There's no really timetable for when he should be back,
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: and he's the United States best player and kind of
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: the one that gets that offense going forward. I think,
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: at the very least, my expectations for this team the
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: final eight, if they could get to the final eightes.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Do you know this, Once you're in the final, all
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: better off. All things can happen, anything could happen. And
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: what what really changed it for me? Add n is
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: I'm back in New York and I'm watching the Knicks
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: win the NBA Finals, and I'm like, if the Knicks
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: can win the NBA Championship, anything.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Anything is possible. The USA could win a World Cup.
• 34:16
  Speaker 9: Now yeah, yeah, I mean I still don't quite bother
• 34:19
  Speaker 9: the rehabilitation of James Dolan.
• 34:20
  Speaker 10: I mean, Jim Dolan for years has been a terrible person.
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: He treats people awful, awful, over Like, let's let's just
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: stop that one right now. Okay, people like all this guy. Hey,
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: even James Dolan's a winner. Leon Rose is a winner. Okay,
• 34:30
  Speaker 9: put this team together. Jalen Brunson's a winner. Okay, those
• 34:33
  Speaker 9: guys are absolute studs. I'm not gonna be supporting James
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: Dolan as one of the Knicks champions. But the right
• 34:39
  Speaker 9: down the Knicks do have you believing I will say
• 34:41
  Speaker 9: this unpopular thought. You're gonna be offended by me. Parades overrated.
• 34:44
  Speaker 9: I had a guy here my local grocery store, comes
• 34:46
  Speaker 9: in all Knicks decked out, like oh man, go next
• 34:48
  Speaker 9: aus and he's like, yeah, I just come back from
• 34:50
  Speaker 9: the parade.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: I got Really, how was it?
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: He goes, well, had to be there at two thirty
• 34:53
  Speaker 9: I was like, what he's again? At three am they
• 34:55
  Speaker 9: started shutting it down, shutting what done? He goes, shutting
• 34:57
  Speaker 9: the entrance to get there. You need to get there
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: two thirty am.
• 35:00
  Speaker 10: He's a kegs.
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: Then you've got to stand there for eight hour because yeah,
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: I started at eleven. Because you can't take a piss,
• 35:04
  Speaker 9: you can't take a dump, you can't go any cake eat.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: He's a no. Eight hours standing there just.
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: For thirty seconds of waving at Mariska Hargateay. I love
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: the parade. It was awesome on my television set. If
• 35:14
  Speaker 9: I lived in Manhattan, maybe it's different. You just walk outside, Okay,
• 35:17
  Speaker 9: I'll get a spot here, wave, we'll figure it out.
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: Taylor to actually go the night before, as this guy did.
• 35:21
  Speaker 9: Outrageous and then one thousand percent agree with you. I
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: called the parade a once in a lifetime event because
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: I only needed to do it once in my lifetime.
• 35:30
  Speaker 9: Parades are better in idea than they are in actually
• 35:35
  Speaker 9: practice executing them.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're better down Main Street than they are in Manhattan.
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: The Carolina Hurricanes parade a little bit better. Why Raleigh
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: a little more spread out?
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: You can organize it.
• 35:46
  Speaker 9: People get great, right, there's not eight point eight million
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: people cramming. I would go to the Hurricanes spad as
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: a non Hurricanes fan just to enjoy it, even though
• 35:53
  Speaker 9: it's after here for the Knicks.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: How about Brenda More, I mean that guy is jacked?
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Holy hell?
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: Man do I The other day on the NHL network,
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: I said, I think he's got seven percent body fat,
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: and Thomas Ikey said seven.
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: If he said that to his face, he'd punch you
• 36:05
  Speaker 10: in the he'd take it down. He thinks like three.
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: He's like, dude.
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: The guys couldn't wait to rip his shirt off just
• 36:11
  Speaker 9: so all the people could see how jack Their coaches like.
• 36:13
  Speaker 10: It is ridiculous easy Goodyera's level.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Three percent is unsafe I.
• 36:19
  Speaker 9: Think the bare minimum at least four, right, four or five.
• 36:22
  Speaker 9: I think it's not good for you.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: But he's well shame. I love Rob the both and
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: a great guest. Mister Gods.
• 36:27

• 36:45
  Speaker 4: right that dude.

  Speaker 2: What'd you make of Matthew could Chuck? Uh?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: Now Brady, his brother is now joining Matthew in South Florida.

  Speaker 9: Huh, I'm so glad you brought up Still he's doing baseball. Yesterday,
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: Taylor was texting me about Sunday Stretch. He's locked in.

• 37:14
  Speaker 9: you're kidding. He's like Denser, It's like wow, And I said,
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: I have so many thoughts. One, I gotta get the
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: hell out of here before I have to handle the
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: breaking news, which.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: I batically did.
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: I got on the highway before as I did interrupt.
• 37:23
  Speaker 9: Now you already leught Sorry, guys, get to it. Somebody
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: else is standing, like, go get to Brian Kennedy to
• 37:26
  Speaker 9: talk hockey.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah he do. You played by mean.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I did to get the hell out of it before
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: I get to the bust centergals in town.
• 37:32
  Speaker 9: Yahn Norway's here like, I can't take any chances.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: You're with the traffic. But listen, it is great for
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: the Panthers.
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: Are you kidding?
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: Once again? South Florida wins.
• 37:40
  Speaker 9: I mean, this is so funny, and it's it's great
• 37:43
  Speaker 9: for the sport because now you have a true villain
• 37:45
  Speaker 9: in the Panthers. I'm telling you the Amountic Canadians who
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: already hated Sunrise Florida and now go wait.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: You went from the nation's capitol, Ottawa and terror.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: Brady Kachuck is the one guy they really care about Ottawa,
• 37:55
  Speaker 9: and he's gone. This US group chat changed everything. They
• 37:58
  Speaker 9: all went to the Olympus down they go, Hey, dude.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing an auto anymore.
• 38:01
  Speaker 10: I'm gonna showing Younkert what it takes.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: All right, let's do it.
• 38:04
  Speaker 9: Dylan Larkin wants out of Detroit. Why he wants to
• 38:06
  Speaker 9: go somewhere else? What's go to Utah or Vegas or Florida? Hey,
• 38:09
  Speaker 9: no state taxed, nobody cares about the hockey down here.
• 38:11
  Speaker 9: It's all good, no pressure. Ohhawall this sucks. It's cold.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: The media is all over me. We've never won. It's miserable. Florida.
• 38:17
  Speaker 9: Yeah right, my brother, republic Tea, let's go. This is awesome.
• 38:22
  Speaker 9: So it's a great win for Brady Kuchuck. It's a
• 38:25
  Speaker 9: huge win for Matthew Kachuck. It's a great score by
• 38:27
  Speaker 9: Bill Zio. He gave up no players. I mean, like,
• 38:29
  Speaker 9: what was the trading? Is three first in a second ago?
• 38:31
  Speaker 10: Who cares? It's right, this isn't the NFL. We called
• 38:35
  Speaker 10: me at first round pick.
• 38:36
  Speaker 9: That's like a fifty percent chance the guy's gonna play.
• 38:37
  Speaker 9: That's like twenty percent chance take eight picks. I couldn't
• 38:40
  Speaker 9: care last when have Brady Kndchuck. This guy's a stud
• 38:42
  Speaker 9: right for Florida, As I said, for the sports to
• 38:45
  Speaker 9: people now will really hate Florida and f those guys.
• 38:47
  Speaker 9: They missed the playoffs one year and they go get
• 38:49
  Speaker 9: Brady kachuckt til Zito.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: It's great for the sport. Yes, it really is.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: The Panthers, Listen, they missed the playoffs last year after
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: winning back to back Stanley Kubbs.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: But that team is not about Reid.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: That team they think they if Matthew was healthy and
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: now they had Brady and their guys are healthy next year.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: They were without Barkoff the entire year. They think they
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: can win it again next season.
• 39:10
  Speaker 9: Right, No question about the amount of people who are like,
• 39:13
  Speaker 9: is this the beginning of the end?
• 39:14
  Speaker 10: Like even phrasing is a question.
• 39:15
  Speaker 9: And before he even got the question that they go, no,
• 39:17
  Speaker 9: this is not the beginning of the end.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: This is a dynasty.
• 39:19
  Speaker 10: It was one off season where there's a calamitous group
• 39:22
  Speaker 10: of injuries to keep players.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 39:24
  Speaker 9: Matthew Kchuck was out till New Year's Day. Barkoff was
• 39:27
  Speaker 9: out the entire season. If those guys are back in
• 39:29
  Speaker 9: a healthy different story. The one thing which is interesting.
• 39:31
  Speaker 9: Jason demrgs with Whom I Do on podcast and Jellan scripted.
• 39:34
  Speaker 9: He said, Bob's gone. I said, what do you mean?
• 39:35
  Speaker 9: Babroski's the man? He is now thirty seven high salary.
• 39:38
  Speaker 9: I think he's gonna go somewhere. So he thinks Bobroski
• 39:40
  Speaker 9: might get dealt. How fascinating would this be? Connor Hallibuck's
• 39:43
  Speaker 9: probably the best goal in hockey. He's won of Vesna
• 39:45
  Speaker 9: multiple times. He's won the Hart Trophy for the most
• 39:47
  Speaker 9: Fauale player last year bit of a down season. Apparently
• 39:49
  Speaker 9: he wants it a Winnipeg. What a surprise. I've been
• 39:51
  Speaker 9: there four times. Trust me, I wouldn't want to live
• 39:53
  Speaker 9: in Winnipeg either. Apparently said more than enough of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
• 39:57
  Speaker 9: Let me guess he'd love to come to Florida. Just
• 39:59
  Speaker 9: watch Bills. You know, go get Conter Hellibuck and Praboski out.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: Let's go get hell of another name. Nobody's going to
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: be able to spell very good point.
• 40:06
  Speaker 9: It's like Stu, how about spelling skintish feely unbelievable. Let's
• 40:10
  Speaker 9: look crazy hawkman game. You guys back in the day, speaking.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Of was rigged, I mean the spelling bee's raged.
• 40:14
  Speaker 9: I mean, let me tart Marie stottamar Let's not very
• 40:17
  Speaker 9: hard to spell. Where it's the heart hard ma Stotta.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: I remember the next season we did it. His fifth
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: one was Jason Williams.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: Maybe well, which Jason Williams. It's the tricky question, the trick.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: Deep s a s H.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: I got a quick question because in ninety four when
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: the uh the World Cup was here in the US,
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: the US team made it to the round of sixteen,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: but never back then that I feel like that was
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: a team that was in the mix if they somehow
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: get to the round of sixteen again, not somehow they
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: get to the round of sixteen again or further another
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: round further. Is this the event step that brings US
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: soccer to its peak? Like, is this the event that
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: brings some of these you know, youthful athletes and the
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: best athletes in our country to play soccer and say, hey,
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: I want to be on that stage sometime or is
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: this just gonna be like ninety four or thirty years later,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: we're gonna be like, eh, maybe they can win one.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's a great question. I'm not certain. I think
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: we all will enjoy it. We'll talk about a soccer
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: surge in the United States of America, and then the.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: NFL will start and we'll forget about it. I mean
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: this news point.
• 41:23
  Speaker 9: Everybody plays soccer on their kids, as we all do it,
• 41:25
  Speaker 9: and then then you go, hey, there's other things, there's
• 41:26
  Speaker 9: other better distractions, other things to do.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: So I I it was the.
• 41:29
  Speaker 9: Same thing with the USA hockey when they want to
• 41:31
  Speaker 9: the only spiel g Yes, just give me this miracle,
• 41:32
  Speaker 9: a nice moment. I go, probably not guess what the
• 41:34
  Speaker 9: NBA playoffs are about to start, Like that's it.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: It's great, but it's.
• 41:38
  Speaker 9: Hard to see whether or not there'll be a generational surge.
• 41:40
  Speaker 9: We'll have to wait tenures to see if you know,
• 41:42
  Speaker 9: more people participate, et cetera. But my general hunch would
• 41:44
  Speaker 9: be no, I would do. I think it'd be a
• 41:45
  Speaker 9: great moment. People would lose their minds. The soccer bill
• 41:48
  Speaker 9: would be particularly obnoxious and annoying, and the rest of
• 41:50
  Speaker 9: us would just go back and watch football and be great.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I'm also not convinced, like they they haven't played anyone, like,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: they haven't played one of these world powers like answer
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: Germany yet they haven't played them, and they won't play
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: him until they get to the quarterfinals.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm not even certain this team is good enough
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: to win the World Cup. But it is exciting. I
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: have to give them that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: The fact that they're already out of the group stage
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and they've moved on here and they're two and zero.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: That is listen, that's progress. Add then that's it, you know.
• 42:16
  Speaker 9: I was trying to explain to my wife and said,
• 42:17
  Speaker 9: you know, it's not really exciting right now because this
• 42:19
  Speaker 9: is still you know, the early stages, the really good stuff.
• 42:22
  Speaker 9: I said, you mean the shootouts, that's what you care about.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: That's all anyone.
• 42:27
  Speaker 9: As soon as is he mentioned ninety four, all I
• 42:29
  Speaker 9: thought about was Roberto Bajio.
• 42:30
  Speaker 10: I'm like, Italy, that was unbelievable. This guy supposed to
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: be a stud.
• 42:33
  Speaker 9: He's got like that weird little like rat tail of
• 42:34
  Speaker 9: the back of his hair, and he's missing a critical
• 42:37
  Speaker 9: shot and shoot him like how could you not score?
• 42:40
  Speaker 9: As Hawk was seeing, you gotta watch the guy's eyes,
• 42:42
  Speaker 9: Like what do you mean? Because the goalie watches his eyes.
• 42:44
  Speaker 9: The players watching your eyes dive right, dive if they'll
• 42:46
  Speaker 9: go right up the middle every time I go right,
• 42:48
  Speaker 9: at least if five shots go up the middle at
• 42:50
  Speaker 9: least twice, you're gonna.
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: Score the boys all over the place. Right.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: It's a purpose. Yes, that's what I was saying. Is
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: he we were talking about this. If I had five
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: penalty kicks against a professional goalie, which is a promotion
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: that we actually set up that I didn't attend.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I was busy that day.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: If I kick one of those pks right down the middle,
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: goalies are always guessing.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: Is he going left? Is he going right?
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: They're gonna dive that way whichever way they think I'm going.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: I put one right down the middle. Eventually I'm gonna score, right.
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, if the goal keeper thought you were capable
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: of striking the ball with pace, with pace in any.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Direction right, he would probably post.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: But this goalkeeper, this professional goalkeeper, will probably just wait
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: for you to contact it no matter what you do,
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: and then just go stave it.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if you can get one
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: in in five.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: I think Stu could do it.
• 43:40
  Speaker 9: One in five, you could get it, because just with
• 43:42
  Speaker 9: that strategy, because the goal the goalie to the jump,
• 43:44
  Speaker 9: there's no question, but Toddy, he'd get that first gulf
• 43:47
  Speaker 9: the bill after that.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Like, okay, that much.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Here really real quick, before we get to h the
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: wee ken observations, You're at.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Dan Serena coming back and playing singles. Huh, great story, dude.
• 44:01

  Speaker 9: Serena's playing doubles mcack whatever, but going in as a wildcard,
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: that going into the singles, I don't care if she
• 44:19
