  Speaker 4: middle of let's go.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Let's hit the clubs, let's go, let's go. In my
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: time zone, it's kind of like bro, I did even
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: get to bed.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: It's like one am. You know what am I doing here?
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: And on the East Coast, you know they've they've been
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: in bed for a while, but I'm I'm always pumped
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: when I get a chance to hang out with the
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Mallard militia, and we'll do it for the next four hours.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: Here on Fox Sports Radio, we have a bevy of
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: topics to get into, including but not limited to the
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: NBA Playoffs.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I was listening to Jason Smith.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: I say this a lot on our Sunday night show
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: that I do Sunday nights from ten p to one
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: a Central Time with Arnie Spanier.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I listen to Jason and Mike more than anyone.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: It's just that's that's the show that's on whenever you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: I'm usually out and about or that is my appointment listening.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: And I'm just gonna tell you right now, there is
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: a topic in the sports world that I'm sure there's
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: a faction of you that are already tired of. And
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: we have games going on on the court, so it's
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: a little bit frustrating when you get caught up in
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: a non game story I think in the middle of
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. But hearing Jason and Mike talk about Lebron
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: James what his future looks like, I mean, come on,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: that's like music to my ear. I'm so infatuated with
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: this story. Now, now let's be clear. I spent the
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: better part of a month infatuated with the Mike Vrabel
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Diana Rassini story, and I think it reached the point
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: where I was like, oh, okay, I think we know
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: a little bit too much here. It's time to move
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: on in life. So I finally got over that a little.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Bit, A little bit. Isn't it amazing?
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: By the way, side story on that, How dude, our
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: dudets will become experts on something And the next thing,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: you know, someone you've never heard of, with like five
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: thousand followers on Twitter, You're like, ooh, what does Kyle
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: Stevens have? What does uh what does Justin have on
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: the latest Diana Rassini Mike Rabel stuff? You know, I
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: just like, I can't help I'm sucked in. I'm sucked in.
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: But I got over that a little bit. So I wonder.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: I wonder if the the Lebron talk will be something
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: that by the time we finally get two set off
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: season for all the NBA. Obviously, the Lakers were in
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: the off season after they couldn't even compete in Game
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: one in the second half, but we'll get into it.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I I'm just gonna go ahead and apologize to the
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: Mala militia here in the first segment. I'm gonna apologize
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: to Fox Sports radio listeners everywhere. I'm hooked on it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: I'm I'm dialed into it as a Laker fan. I'm
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: intrigued by it. But you know, you want to know
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: what's next. You want to know if he's got to
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: be back with the Lakers, if it's even the right
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: which sounds crazy to say.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It really does if you think about it.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: The all time leading score in NBA history, a guy
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: who's got rings, a guy who's won MVPs, a guy
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: who is playing in his forties like he was in
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: his you know, early thirties, late twenties.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: It sounds wild to say is that even the right
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: move for the team?
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: And then you add into the mix the reported I
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: don't know if you would say disdain unlike on comfortableness?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: Is that even a word between he and Luca Doc?
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Dont you? So?
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: I do want to talk to some Lebron. Maybe should
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: I have like a Lebron warning tonight, Koop, Like we
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: have a little alarm that we play where people are like, Okay, listen,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to the conspiracy theory talk if you
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: talk Lebron, because I think there is a faction that
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: is over it.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Like, for instance, I do I do a local show.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I in fact I and broadcasting live from the k
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: r e F Studios, the home of Sooner Fans, which
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: is a proud affiliate of Fox Sports Radio when we're
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: not local, and if I were to bring up Lebron
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: on my show locally, I would be tard and feathered.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: I would be boom, what are you doing? Bro?
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: We've got spring football that just wrapped up, you got
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: Sooner softball, We've got the thunder.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: What are you doing? But it is, I mean, it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest stories in sports right now.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: So we'll we'll get into it. Lorena work on the
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Lebron warning siren that we can have and take people funk.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I find I don't know what.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's someone crying, maybe it's someone yelling at the officials,
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: maybe it's someone flop and I don't know.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Just just find it it, find it, make it work.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: It's wild.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: The NBA playoffs are always one of the most anticipated times.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: I think of the Year. And this comes from someone
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: who has loved the NBA since birth. I feel like
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: every single time you explain your passion for a sport
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: or the why behind it, you give kind of your
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: fan or resume right, so me give you my fan
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: or resume here real quick. I grew up loving the Lakers.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: My dad grew up loving the Celtics. Gen Xer's child
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: of the eighties. You guys know what that was all about.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: And it's just that we didn't get a lot of NBA.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: I lived in Sae, I grew up just outside of
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: Saint Louis, and Saint Louis wasn't really an NBA mecca, right,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: I know. We It's like Jason Chatis from Saint Louis,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: What are you talking about. Ain't a soul from Saint
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Louis to cared about the NBA for the longest time, Okay.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: And it just wasn't a big deal. We had the Cardinals,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: we had the Blues, we even had the Big Red,
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: we had the old Saint Louis Cardinals back in the day.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: And it's just it wasn't big in the market that
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: I grew up in. But I loved it. I moved
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: to Oklahoma. I was here for the start of my career.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I did sports talk radio back in the nineteen hundreds
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: whenever I got started, and if you talked about the
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: NBA during that span here again, you would not have
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: been very popular. But the Thunder get the Oklahoma City
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: gets a team. It's wildly successful. It goes to the Tank.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Now that everyone's trying to emulate, the Clippers are dumb
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: enough to give them Shay Gilgess Alexander as part of
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: a deal for Paul George, and I guess you could
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: say the rest is history. They're going to be a
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: two time back to backworld champion. And all that being said,
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I live in a market I now, as a fan
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: of the sport, am in a city that is.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Crazy for the NBA, crazy for the NBA. I just moved.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: The house down the street from me has an inflatable
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: Bison that's got a Thunder jersey on, because that's kind
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: of our mask gut, you know, it's just that, that's
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: what it is. And I say all that, I give
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: you all that background to basically let you know that
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I am not an anti NBA person. I am not
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: somebody that comes to this network to this show tonight
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: as a person that looks at the NBA as shut
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: up and dribble too, political player run league that all
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: those different, I guess you could say attributes that are
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: associated with the league that some try to paint as
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: declining and popularity.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I am not that guy. I love the NBA.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I have found that the games not involving my team
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: have become incredibly unwatchable. And I don't know and now listen,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: it's the job boohoo buckeroo. Right, just ran into a
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: guy stopped at seven eleven because I don't know if
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: you all are familiar with what my My key to
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: success is here with the BN Mallard Show is I
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: have Let's see, I have two celsiuses and I have
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: two bush lights. And depending on how things go in
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: the first hour, we're either going celsias an hour or
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: we're going a couple of bush lights just to get
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: through the thing. Okay, it's one or the other. But
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: like I was, I was. I was stopping at a
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: seven eleven and I was talking to the dude and
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: he was, man, I've been here since two o'clock. Can't
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: wait till five am when I'm off, and I'm thinking.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Myself, dang, that's a long shift.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Could you imagine though, if he had a sprinkle in
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: watching these NBA playoffs, it'd be even worse. He has
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: another pain that we're having a feel right now, having
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: to sit through that damn Cleveland Cavaliers Detroit Pistons game.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Does he know the horror of having to watch the
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: second half of Games one through three of the thunder
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Lakers series? Was he paying attention? Even though, in fairness,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: the Tea Wolves Spur series has been incredibly fascinating right
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: just at least with the elbows storyline and kind of
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: how the game is played out. But I I mean,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: this is this has just not been a banner playoffs.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: I think for the NBA you had the upset where
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the Celtics blued and the Sixers moved on, and then
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: suddenly the Knicks have found like another level of shooting,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: another level of ball. I'm not you know, I don't
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: know the how or the why behind it, but it
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: is what it is. So all that all that background,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: I'm a fan. I love it. I'm in a market
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: that's sick for it. It's just I don't think it's
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: been incredibly entertaining.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: And I've got a checklist of things here that throughout
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: the night we can go through. I would love to
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: hear from dissenting voices at eight seven seven ninety nine
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: on Fox Tonight, we still take calls, right, Loraina Coop,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: we still take I like to hear that eight seven
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven nine ninety
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: six six three sixty nine. I've got just a few
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: things throughout the night that I'd love to sprinkle in
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: and get your takes.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Just one that's pretty obvious, and this is I could
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: go to.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: I think for every host, not every play is a foil,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Not every play is a foul. And we are in
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: an era, a time, a spot in this sport where
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: nobody thinks that they ever had.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: A play that they made where they weren't fouled.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: And it's not just oh God, I was fouled and
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: then run back on defense, you know, it was, oh
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: it's fouled. It's like y'all went to drama class or something.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: And I again, I'm reaching that age, reaching that age.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I'm at that age now where I'm kind of like
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: old man yelling at clouds. I am my wife calls
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: me the grumpy old man. Now, I don't know why.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I just hate everything, and it's the NBA, this sport
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: that I love, this league that I grew up on,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: this association that in my city where I live, is dominating.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: I can't watch it outside of my teams, and even
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: when I do, it's not competitive. Maybe it's a situation, right,
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's a situation where we're getting down to the
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: teams that truly have it, and maybe those two teams
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: are spurs thunder. You know, twenty twenty or twenty twenty one,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: in college basketball, we knew who the two best teams
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: in college basketball was. It was Gonzagon Baylor, and the
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: whole season was waiting to see Gonzagon Baylor play in
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: the national Championship game.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And guess what they did.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: And it was It was not a great game, but
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: it was a highly anticipated game.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And there were you know, there were.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Good games throughout the tournament, right, Yeah, the buzzer beater
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: are there.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: That was great, But.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Everyone kind of knew what was inevitable. And I wonder
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: if that's where we are with these NBA playoffs. Maybe
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: all my handwringing, all my frustration all my disappointment, all
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: my disdain is going to be fixed when you have
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: OKC and San Antonio go at it, the one team
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: right now that you kind of feel like.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Has a shot to derail the Thunder.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Pardon my improper English, And I don't think I'll be
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: judged here this evening. Ain't nobody got anything for the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Thunder in the East. Are you watching those games? Okase?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: He's doing this without one of their best players, Okay.
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: And I'm not trying to come at this as an
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: arrogant Thunder fan, all right. I'm just observing what I
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: see day in and day out. It's the reality of
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: the league right now. And maybe maybe getting OKAC in
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: San Antonio in the NBA's Western Conference Finals might be
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: a good precursor to really getting these playoffs back on track,
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: making them more entertaining. Now there might be a faction
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: of you they just love the game. I did a
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: lot of work with a guy named Rick Camler. Rick's
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: a great NBA mind, and anytime I would complain about
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: the association to him, his reaction would be, what are
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: you talking about? You know the NBA They had me
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: at the logo. Maybe there's a faction that's feeling that tonight.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know. But the bottom line, more than anything else,
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: is I look at a league that needs its players
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: to stop being babies. Here's the second thing, and this
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: might be I mean, Coop and Lorena may laugh hysterically
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: back in the studio. I find it incredibly hard to
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: find the games.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, as goofy as that sounds.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: You know, there's these things that local newspapers do now
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: on Twitter on X and I think we've all seen them,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: and it'll be.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: How to watch the game.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: And I would always push back on those and say,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: you turn on your TV. It's not real freaking hard.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: But with the NBA, all of a sudden, I'm kind
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: of like, wait, am I on Prime tonight? Do I
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: need to have my ESPN app? Are we still doing TNT?
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Is this thing on NBC. It's like, I have found
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: that it's incredibly hard to find the games. So with
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: that in mind, I've got a laundry list of I'm
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: not here to fix things tonight.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: I'm usually a guy that whenever I have a problem,
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: I'm going to present a way to fix it. I
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: don't have a way to fix this tonight, except maybe patience.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I don't think too many teams tanking has anything to
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: do with it. I don't think the amount of talent
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: in the.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: League is down.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: In fact, we might have more talented players than we've
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: ever had. Now, we might not have better basketball players,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: but we definitely have more talented and more athletic dudes
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: than we've ever seen before.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: But it's just been a hard watch.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Man been a hard watch, and maybe it's just a
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: precursor towards that thunder Spur series, which seems inevitable if
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: San Antonio can take care of Minnesota tonight. The other
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: thing that is weighing heavy on me this evening here
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: on the Ben Malor Show Chris Blink sitting in on
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio is the NFL schedule release.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Y'all.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: I am drunk for the NFL, and I am basically
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: that I'm that girl at the end of the bar,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: and whatever the NFL sells me, I'm gonna buy it,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: and I'm gonna love it, and I'm gonna go home
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: with it, and I don't care. I love the NFL,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: but I hate the way they do the schedule release, the.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Leaks, the trickling out of games.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: It's like, if we're gonna do a schedule release, just
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: release the damn things.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, as we sit here tonight.
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: I was listening to Brian No last night and he
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: was right, you could start patching things together, you know,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: you start kind of looking at it, and it's all
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: the extra work to patch things together. And I don't
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: really I don't want to work that hard. I mean,
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: just just give me the damn schedule. I'm not somebody
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: who gets overly obsessed or overly cares about the overseas
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: games or the the nationally televised games. I want to
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: know when my teams already know when. In the NFL,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: you already know who's playing. You already know when they're
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: going to play, or excuse me, who they're gonna play.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: You just don't know win or on what network. But
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: yet the NFL has this, I guess you could say,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: hold on us to where every single little leak becomes
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, did you see this?
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, look at this.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I didn't know about something called nerding on the NFL,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: but I follow it whenever it comes to schedule leaks season,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: but I hate it.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: It's one of those moments I mean, I think we've
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: all had crutches.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: Maybe even the term addictions can be used where it's like, man,
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: can't get enough of this? But I hate that I
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: do now. I'm not trying to go dark here and
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: talk you know, alcohol or drugs or anything. Still very
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: early in the night. We haven't reached the golden hour yet.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: But it's like that's me with the NFL, and I hate.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I hate that I'm scrolling this. I hate that I'm
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: following every leak. I'm like, wait a minute, is that
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: real that the Dolphins and the Raiders are going to
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: play in Week one?
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from? Who released that? Is that? Is?
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Is that true that in week eighteen that Ben Gosling's
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: reporting that it's going to be the Bears and the Vikings.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not really gonna happen.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: Are the Niners and the Giants playing in week thirteen
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: in a noon game?
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: It's ah, but yet here I am here, I am.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I'm a sucker.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Plank's a sucker when it comes the NFL and the
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: schedule release. So I've been I've been patching it all together.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: And because I guess we can't wait until later on
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: this evening when the whole schedule gets released, I'll do
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: my best coming up later on the program. I mean,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: like hour three, we'll go through all the games we
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: know so far, and then the NFL releases the games
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: that are going to be played overseas. It's just I
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: hate that, I like it is what I'm saying. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: need help. But maybe at some point we won't be
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: as sick for it as we are and the NFL
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: can kind of change the way to present it. One
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: other note here in the opening, college football is always
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: a tough sell.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I think in the overnights.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: I know that my guy Shady sewan Ford twenty any
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: single time I bring up anything college sports related is
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: going to pepper me on Twitter with disdain, frustration, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: the h I guess you could say sports equivalent of
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: how dare you? But again, fan resume, I live in
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: a place where college sports is king. I live in
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: a college town. If the NBA isn't one when the
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: thunder I went into title, it's college sports. And we
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: have a lot going on in the world of college football.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: And I'm saying that in May we have Lane kiffinster
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: in the pot, We've got conference meetings, going on. We've
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: got debates about what the future of the college football
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: playoff is going to look like. It's it's an absolute mess,
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: and I think I think.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: We have a path towards success.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: I think we can look at things now and realize,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: all right, so that's what it's got to look like
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: if we're going to get this thing under control. And
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: maybe some people don't think it needs to be under
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: control at all. But I got all the news notes
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: in tidbits, including Lane Kiffin attempting to walk back a
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: little bit of what he said in Vanity Fair. First
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: of all, hand up, I didn't know Vanity Fair was
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: still a thing. I thought it kind of went the
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: way of like Sports Illustrated, you know, I didn't really
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: know that magazines were still a thing. But we'll get
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: to the latest from Lane Kiffin. And then you add
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: to it, the most powerful man in college football, or
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: at least the dude that's had the title, is speaking
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: out against one of the more powerful entities in the
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Coaches Association, and he he's not happy with the way
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: things are going. So we'll dive into that coming up
