• 0:54
  Speaker 4: I'll be tanking next week. Oh yeah, Sidney Crosby's not
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: playing in the semi final.
• 1:03
  Speaker 5: Saw that. I also saw John Cooper. He said it
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: was a day to day type of situation. Yeah, so
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: I we'll see.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: You know, you never know.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Great about today is that it's not yesterday.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Now you don't want to have injuries. But the way
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: they barely won that game and now that they're facing
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: this this a little bit of adversity could embolden the
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Canadian team who knows well.
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: I think, look, they got a scare from chick here right,
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: big time, big time, big time scare. So they're not
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: going to be If you think they're going to even
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: remotely let up against Finland, you're wrong. Finland could get
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: boat raced today. They really could. That games at eight forty.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: So it's gonna start here in about thirty five minutes.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: So we'll keep you updated as those scores kind of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: go along. I want to play something for you. This
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: is Warren Shaffer. He was on with Jim Rome yesterday,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: said this about the rock set and in spring training.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: I mean we have a fresh new a bunch of
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: new faces coming in. I mean we're looking to establish
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: a winning call. You're here that's sustainable. I mean it
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: starts day one of spring training, it starts in the offseason,
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: and who we hire and how we go about our
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: business moving forward. It's a big deal for us to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: turn this thing one hundred and eighty degrees and get
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: in the right direction. It's been going down the wrong
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: path now for probably three years. So we're looking forward
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: to getting this thing going right.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I've said I've been on record, I don't think the
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Rockies are going to be any good this year, but
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I do like the new direction of this regime that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: in charge right now. I think they've been doing some
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: smart things. Aermon Marquez, he's on the padres now. Yeah,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Marquez has anything really left in
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the tank. He has really really been bad the last
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: couple of years and dealt with injuries. But he said,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: I spent almost ten years with the Colorado Rockies. This
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: is something new for me. I'm gonna give it my
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: best to this team. I'm excited to play with the
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: team that wants to win. When I was young, I
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: had a team that liked the win and it was
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: a cool feeling. Some Rocky fans that got upset with him,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: It's the absolute truth when he got there. That was
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the Trevor story. Nona Ornado teams that were maybe not
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: winning postseason series, but making the postseason, and then once
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: all of them left, so did all the wins?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Are you saying they tank?
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, what do you think? What did that look
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: like to you? When you let guys who are really
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: good players walk for nothing, that's not even tanking. That's
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: just horrible business. I would accept tanking, I would accept
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: trading Trevor's story for some sort of asset in return,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: and instead it's just like bye, by.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: The way, did you guys see what the Kansas City
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Royals are now doing? What they're employing And a lot
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: of this has been brought up in Denver because of
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: the unique nature of course field at a mile above
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: sea level. So in Kansas City they're actually bringing the
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: fences in on both ends, both the right field and
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: the left field of fences in the leading center field alone.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Is this the new stadium of the building or is
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: this Kaufman?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: This is the one they're in right now because they
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: still have five years left on the lease. So they're
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: bringing the fences in because according to their analytics, their data,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: more home runs at home equal to I think two
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: extra wins a year is what they figured out, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: more opportunity to win. So they're changing the structure of
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: the park, adding seats, moving the fences in so their
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: team and by the way, behind Denver behind of course,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: they have the most expensive outfield in the Major League Baseball,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: so they're changing that. They're reducing the size of the outfield,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: and they're catering their roster now to their ballpark.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Wait when you said they have the most expensive outfield
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: expansive expanse.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Sorry, yeah, it's a big outfield.
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: He just his pronunciations were pretty crap this morning, so
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: I knew what he I knew what he meant, though
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: you I was on the expensive route, but I know
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: he meant.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: So you can't decipher between expensive and expansive.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: No, it's your face doesn't work properly, so we have
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: to interpret.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: But they did.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: So.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: The Kansas City Royals are taking a measure now to
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: cater their roster to their ballpark, and they're changing the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: shape of their ballpark. This has been brought up many
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: many times in Denver, so many times I can't even count.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Is there anything that the Rockies can do? Let's say
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: this works. Let's say that the Royals for the next
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: five years they found something. You know, other teams are
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: gonna follow.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh I look, I've thought for years the Rockies need
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to embrace two things. Guys with power everywhere all over
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the lineup just try and out homer the other team,
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: because it I just think it's too difficult to dink
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and dunk your way around coors Field. The easier thing
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: is just to try and get a three run shot.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: Secondly, you have to have guys that throw hard. Like
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: here's the problem that they've had, and I think this
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: is the trouble when you talk about pictures what do
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you call it, vic pictures, over the course of time
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: at coors Field, they hire out or something like that,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: whatever it is.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're fatigued, essentially, they get worn out.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: They had in their bullpen last year. Marquez was one
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: of them. Freelin's another, Sensaitel is another. When you have
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: guys who throw like ninety two, you have to be
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: able to locate and really locate. And too many times,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: you know, we get behind in counts. They'd throw a
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: get me over fastball and that's you're begging for that
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: ball to go four hundred and twenty feet like you're
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: begging for it. And Sensataela was like the worst at it.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: He'd be down two zero on account and be like, gosh,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: I got I gotta throw a strike right down the
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: middle belt high see later. And I think they need
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to find guys that rip.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, So I'm talking specifically, you're trying to manage the roster.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: You're picking up the wrong.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: And you're trying to rebuild corse Field.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: I'm telling you, is there anything they can do to
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: the structure. You're trying to do it backwards here. This
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: whole idea I brought up was out Kansas City is
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: changing the structure to fit their roster, and you're trying
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: to tell me change the roster.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Hang on a second, you said, and they're finding players
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: to fit their ballpark.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: They have the players, they have the home run hitters.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: And what they're finding is that these home run hitters, right,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: these guys with power, they change their swings on the
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: road because of the size of their outfield. It gets
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: in their head. So when they go on the road,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: they alter their swing. When they're at home and on
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the road, it's just two different swings. Can't do that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: Hey, Vic, back with the Blake Street Bombers and Corsfield
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: first opened. Is that ballpark? Are the dimensions of that ballpark?
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Talking about original coors Field and current coors Field, are
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: they any different?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm wondering if they made any alterations. They didn't.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: They didn't. They haven't. That being said, what you had
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: was they a ball club that was built to.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Boom the ball all over the yard.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you had a ball club that was built as
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: a launch pad. Ball club watching if they do something,
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: and Ellis and Cat. Everybody was just banging the ball
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: all over the yard.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: And that was a joy because you're playing made In
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, they raised the size of the fences and
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: right center and in left field.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Yes, you guys are missing.
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: They did, but they didn't change the distance. They changed
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: the height.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, you're missing the big one.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: What's that?
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: The best season in Rockies history, the greatest season in
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Rockies history? What happened that season? What? What was the
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: big invention, the big innovation that occurred. It was the
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: human the news exactly. The humidor was brought in and Brett,
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: this is before your time. It drew the attention of
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: the entire league to the point where the San Francisco
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: Giants accused the Rockies of cheating. They added a humidor
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: in which the balls were essentially given some moisture because
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: it was so dry to throw a ball up here
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: that pitchers couldn't feel what they were throwing. And the
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: flight of the ball, this and that whatever with the
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: adaptation of the humidor. The Rockies enjoyed their greatest season ever.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: They went to the World Series and season thereafter, and
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: then the rest of the league sort of caught up
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: and other teams started getting humid doors. You remember that
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: most teams the humid doors became a thing. So I'm
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: wondering if a quick fix might be just an alteration
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: somewhere somehow.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: Though.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: You give up a lot of homers too.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but you play more games at home, so you're
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: seeing that that's the whole thing. In Kansas City, they
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: know that it's gonna lead to more home runs by
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: bringing the fences in. But it gives you more chances
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: to win games because you have home run hims.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: You're playing it, you're playing it.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'm curious. I don't know if it
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: would work or not. I mean, it certainly feels like
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it would help if you have a pitching rotation that
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you trust, certainly more than what the Rockies do in.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: Who's the number one? Who's who's your number one starter? Yeah?
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Who who's it gonna be going to the sea?
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Probably No, Ky.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Cannot be anymore. Man, he's just not been good. Let
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: me for a while. He hasn't been good.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Vic, What did you say the other day about this
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Rockies team that lost one hundred and nineteen games last year?
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: Would you say you said, I think they're intrigued? No,
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: would you say they got something their sleeve.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: I don't know what I said.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: A week he said he got something up their sleeve.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: They've got intriguing. You said something.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: I said, they're intriguing. They could be intriguing. That's the
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: word I use.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Actually, they cannot be intriguing at all. I'm sorry. Name
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: the rotation. I'll give you a fact.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Name two of the five in the rotation Freeland Dolander,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: King Tana, Lorenzen uh. And there's a whole bunch of
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: guys vying for the other spots.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: The Japanese player from Baltimore, Chugano, Yeah, Chugano, Yeah?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Anything else? Anymore brainbusters?
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: From image?
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: How many games is that rotation winning?
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: By the way, larent Lorenz, you had the ability to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: be good before.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: He's a five hundred pitcher in his career.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Nobody cares about the records.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Dollander last year, dude, his rookie season, you know what
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: his record was? It was bad because the team was passed.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: I know he was two and twelve with a seventy
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: ar a bro.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Six and has he's a young he was a young player, understood.
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: I'm just saying that rotate. Now you're making me good,
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: all defensive and angry because that rotation ain't. Nobody's all Americans, bro.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, you go into the bullpen and you're looking
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: around the bullpen. It's just a bunch of dudes. Is
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: this has one hundred losses written all over it? Easily?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: And I appreciate Warren Schieffer saying, Hey, our goal is
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: to turn this thing around, and maybe they are going
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: in the right direction. Surely they've made it change on
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: the top right.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, did you see the photo of Zach Vien? I
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: said to you last night, dude, Oh my.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: God, Well I saw the AI photo to start with?
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Oh was that an a?
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Did I get ai'ed?
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: Wait?
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: The first the first one very obviously he looks like
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: a superhero.
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know when I get AI?
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Did he?
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: The other ones aren't though?
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: The videos that you had, No, Zach, Look, let's all
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: be honest here. If this was nineteen ninety eight, you're like,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: if you put a cup in front of that man,
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: it's gonna have smoke coming out of it. Okay, that's
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: what we'd all think. Zach Vien went from a beanpole
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to somebody who looks like he could bench press a car.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I'm not alleging anything. I'm just saying he's twice.
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: The man he was.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's very weird that happen in the span of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: just a few months to go from what he looked
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: like before to now. And his reasoning for it was
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: I cut out the booze. It's like, that doesn't make
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: you grow fifteen biceps onto top of each other. If
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that's the case, there's a whole bunch of people that
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: we looked like Schwarzenegger.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Mos. I was asked yesterday by my mother what I'm
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: giving up for lent? And it was suggested to me
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: to give up veno for lent.
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: Aha.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: It lasted three hours.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: Has any No, here's say ban being a mom. Mama,
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: I love you, Mama, Mia, I love you. Ask her
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: if there's any Italian in the history of Italians, I mean,
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: go back before Caesar bro before, I mean before Caesar.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Is there any Italian in the history of Italians who
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: have given up veno for lent.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I think it's against the rules.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: I do. I think it's against it is it is.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: In fact, if you're in Italy and you give up
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: vino for lent, prison straight.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: I've given up the zen. I'm two months in. I
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: think I could just continue that. That qualifies.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: What's the rule behind lent? By the way, do you
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: have to give up something you like? Why can't you
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: give up something you hate? That would make it really easy.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: So I'm gonna give up swimming in the Arctic?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I promise for all of that. I will
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: not do that.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: That's so funny, I got it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: How are they gonna know, Moser, you're gonna give up beats?
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: Yes, I know how much you love those. My wife,
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: she's making a little something something for dinner the other night.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: I said, I look on the counter, which she's making
• 14:26

• 14:37
  Speaker 5: she beats me about not liking and I don't blame
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: her that I think they're incredibly healthy for you. But
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: if I give up anchovies, yeah for lent.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Brett, why is the trash still in the backyard? I
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: just said, no more?
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Hey, Vic, what's that little uh, what's that little uh

• 15:47
  Speaker 4: it in the water, and brings his shopping home on
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: his kayak, And I just I didn't want to tell him.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: About my history of anti kayak rants. So two things
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I used to have. One I don't meanmore. It's hard,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: like kayaking is not an easy thing that it's really
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: really hard to do, like physically strenuous, and like I
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: had it once where it tipped over. I thought I
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: was dead, Like immediately I was like, I think I'm
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: gonna die. But secondly, you had the same problem I
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: have when discussing Rob Perez's Twitter name, where you feel
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like you have a speech impediment, don't you world wide
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: wob It just feels like you can't say things correctly.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: You feel like a child who can't say is ours
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: world wide wob uh?
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: Anyway, someone says, would you be able to give up
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: hat wearing wearing your hats? You're a big hat guy
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: more than any buddy I know.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Could I Yeah, but no, I I'd rather give up work.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: Wait can that happen?
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Can you get a religious exemption? Saying I gave up
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: work because I love this so much I can't show up.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Uh three zero three five four nine five reminder Nuggets
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: tonight they faced the Blazers, second game of the back
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: to back. Love all the action right here Altitude Sports
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: Radio ninety two five TN in for pregame coverage powered
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: by Ramas Law at seven thirty.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: The discipline part of it isn't about the break. That's
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: about just being smarter in those situations.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: And you have to be in these games.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: You know, once you see they're calling the game, especially
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter, you have to react to the game.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: And I thought, you know, as this fourth quarter went on,
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: we got to the line a lot as well. That's
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: what got us back in the game. But I just
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: have to be better. A veteran team like us feeling
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: the game out much better to put us behind the
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: eight ball late in the game.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Nuggets lose at the buzzer yesterday, well kind of at
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the buzzer, and Jamal had a chance three free throws
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: to tie the game.
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: He misses the last one. I cannot remember one. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: cannot remember, Vic, Perhaps you can help me with this.
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: I can't remember the last time I saw certainly the
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Nuggets or any team lose on a miss free throw
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: at the horn. Well, because I know there's point nine left,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: there's no show.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: It's what do you mean? It happened against Detroit with
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: the same player at the foul Jamal. You don't remember that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Jamal had three free throws at the end of regulation
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: to win. He hit just enough to send it to
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: OT and then Ot. It happened again and he missed right.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I don't know.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: The real question is Okay? Besides that, No, the real
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: question is have you ever seen a guy have three
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: of those in the span of like six games?
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: Another good question.
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: So I listen, man, as much as I wanted him
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: to make that free throw, Follow me on this and
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: tell me my reasoning is off.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: So February third, where was I?
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, you deal with that on your own. Let me
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: finish my comment. Follow me on this. I'm not going
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: to blame Jamal Murray for that loss, because if Jamal
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: Murray doesn't go all Murray in the final second, they're
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: not even in position to tie the game. Look at
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: what he did in the final thirty seconds. He scored
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: seven straight points. He had a three, a dunk, and
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: then three free throws, So without him in that position,
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: they don't even have a chance. The game could have
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: been over way earlier. He put him in that position,
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: albeit he missed the critical free throw. I don't think
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: they did him any favors when they mass substituted after
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: the second one.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know what that's about. Here's the thing
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: with that. I I kind of just toss that off
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: to the side, all three of these, and maybe maybe
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't because that's a lot. But you tell me,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: is Jamal Clutch?
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah? I think you see that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: He's made big shot after big shot after big shot,
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: but three different instances, like last tenths of a second
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: of a game, free throws he's missed.
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's just really weird. But you're not
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: going to be one hundred percent on on Clutch. The
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: problem is, and this is where I'm going with this one,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: there's no reason the Nugget should have been in that
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: position at the end of the game had they taken
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: care of business early. Agree, And this is where it
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: is on Jamal and Joker. They were combined three for
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: eighteen shooting in the first half. Yeah, and the Nuggets
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: still led by seven. If they play even close to
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: what they're capable of playing, that game's a blowout, guys. Yeah,
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: game's over.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: How about this, by the way, And just I'm gonna
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: speak on the Jokic's part of this because he's the
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: best player, he's the most important and we've said for
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: years it is unfair to consistently ask Nikola Jokic to
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: do the impossible every single night, which has put up
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: like thirty five point triple doubles on seventy percent from
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: the floor. But that's what he's been. I'm just gonna say, like,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Yokic just hasn't been good since he come back from
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the injury.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: He just hasn't.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: He hasn't been saying that, damn sure. Not himself now
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: is the way I put it.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Now he is And you know, the three point misses
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: are one thing because he wasn't even closed last night.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah he had an airball three Yeah, he had an airball.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: But the thing about him the little bunnies.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: When he's missing the little bunnies, and he missed a
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: few of those, that's when you're like, ooh, something's not
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: right here.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: It's been like that too. His efficiency in his touch
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: is what set him apart his entire career, and there's
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: a few trends that are going the wrong way for him. One,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: it used to be like a miracle if you held
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Yokich hundred fifty percent from the floor. That's happened in one, two, three,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: four of his last six games. Just by comparison, Yeah,
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: it's happened. I lost the count. It's like five times
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: in all games previous to that.
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: Do me fair.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: But here's the other thing. According to the All NBA
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Podcast one with Adamars and Legler, Jokic has committed twenty
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: two turnovers in his last three games. It's the most
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: over any span of his career.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: He had six last night. Yeah, no coup of those.
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I thought they were in traffic. I thought he got fouled.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: He's like, hey, I got fouled. I mean, when you've
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: got three guys mugging you. By the way that Brook
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: Lopez block late Vic on Joker, I'm like, oh my god,
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: he's trying to go to the hole. He's got three
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: dudes on him and he gets rejected by Lopez. That sucked.
• 22:19
  Speaker 5: But this is not overall, Okay, panic time or anything
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: like that. But Brett, as you said, there are certain
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: little things that you're seeing in box scores and with
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: your eyeballs on the floor, Vic that you're saying to yourself,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: this just doesn't look right. It doesn't look like I
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: think it's supposed to look. You know. He was of
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: all the guys on the floor, Tim Hardaway Junior last
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: night was also in terms of plus minus, a minus six.
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: Joker was a minus six last night.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Dan, I just got it this guy.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: But what I'm saying is you're seeing little things in
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: the score, box score and whatnot that just don't add
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: up to Nikola jokicch He.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Shot less les than fifty in four of the eight
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: games he's been in since his return, and are sorry,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: four of his last six before the eight since he returned.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: It happened five times in the previous thirty two games.
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Nuggets fans, if you're concerned, you should be, and if
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: you're not, you don't have a pulse. Okay, for those
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: who like, oh, they're gonna be fine, I'm not playing
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: that game. You got to prove that you're gonna be fine.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: You can't just assume you're going to be fine. You
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: can't assume health. And again, I know that like Hastings
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: will say, I like the panic and I pan This
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: isn't panicking, this is me being truthful. If you look
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: at this Nuggets team right now with the same feeling
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: you had at the beginning of the season, you're lying
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: to yourself. They're not the same. Something's off with this team.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Non last night was a case in point, and I
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: want to share this with Nuggets fans. Don't be mad
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: at how they finished the game. Be mad at how
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: they started and couldn't take the game away. They had opportunities.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: Here's a case in point. They're two all stars. Got
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: these numbers from Hyatt. First three quarters last night Joker
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: ten points, Murray seven points. Fourth quarter Joker at twelve points,
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: Murray at thirteen points. They came to play in the fourth.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: But if you do that work in the first three quarters,
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: the game's not even in question.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: But VIC part of the problem here, too, is you
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: have a tail of two halves. Last night. In the
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: first half, you give up a combined forty five points.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: In the second half, you give up a combined seventy.
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: So even though your offensive game picked up in terms
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: of Joker and Murray in that second half, your defense
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: got equally worse. Again, they were driving to the bucket
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: on you in the fourth quarter at will. They were
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: attacking me. You know why, because they knew they could
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: The Clippers knew they could attack. You were basically in
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: survival mode in that fourth quarter. Last night, you got
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: you got blitzed in the third. You're in survival mode
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: in the fourth. And it just doesn't look right. Vic.
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: I think what people are hanging their hats on, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: this is what I am right now, is that I
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: know that when this team is constant fully constituted and healthy,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: I know what they can be. Okay, well, don't go on,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: because you know what they can be as well, and
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: they can be a dominant, best team in the league.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: The I'm not assuming that. I'm saying, I'm hanging in
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: my hat on the thought that somewhere down the road
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: on March nineteenth or April second, or somewhere there, that's
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: when that team is going to exist. And other than that, Vic,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: You're absolutely correct. Right now, this team does not resemble
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: the team that I saw earlier this season, the team
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: that I fully believed in.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: So you're basing all this on hope.
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know what, Vic, I don't have any other
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: better way to put it. It's exactly correct.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I mean again, there's there's too many cases where they
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: don't take advantage. They're up fifty two, forty three in
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: this game last night, all right, Cam just makes a three,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: and they follow that up with three straight turnovers. They
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: follow that up. Instead of being up at the half
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: double digits, they're only up at the half past seven.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Little mistakes that they make in courses of the game
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: that add up and catch up late in the game. Yeah,
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: misfree throws in the fourth quarter.
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: These are things.
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: They gotta cling these up. And I don't want to
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: hear all the injuries. Injuries had nothing to do with
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: that last night. Injuries had nothing to do with turnovers.
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: What What did injuries have to do with turnovers?
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: What?
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: You don't have anything to do with that. I think
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: the injuries hurt your most on the defensive side. I mean,
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: probably your two best defenders are out of the lineup
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: Take care of the ball. But it wasn't That's what
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I've noticed.
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: But it wasn't a problem in the first half. And
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: Vick is absolutely correct. You have little functions during the
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: course of a game and You can survive a tough
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: offensive first half by Joker and by Murray if you're
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: doing other things correctly. That second half was a That
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: second half was just a mess. It really was. The
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: whole second half was an absolute mess, from turnovers to
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: not getting any stops to the poor defense. I mean,
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: everything about the second half was in terms of everything,
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: but scoring was a mess.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: Nine nine eight five chimes in on the text line,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: maybe I should give up the text line for Lynd
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the best for all of us nine n five. Lombardi
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: is such a drama, Queen, Jokic will be fine. At
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: what point did I put this all on Jokic. I didn't.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: I'm not putting this on Jokic. But to say to
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: make the assumption that everything's going to be fine, you're
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: fooling yourself. Man. They've gotta make it fine. You can't
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: assume fine. They gotta show you fine. The beauty of
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: the NBA is there's always another game, and tonight there's
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: another game.
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: In defense of the nine nine eighty five, you are
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: a drama, queen.
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: Fine, Tonight's another game. What if they lose in the
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: same fashion tonight, When is it no longer fine? In
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: your book.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: I'm with No, I agree, and that's why. Look, people
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: don't like this because we just haven't done it all
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: that often. Where it's been, Jokic has been one of
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: the main points of criticism. I'm not saying that isn't
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: caring or that he's a bad player. Now, I'm concerned
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: about lingering issues that he's had. His wrist has been
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: bothering him. That's why I'm concerned.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: Did you see him rubbing it last night?
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: After that if we got slapped, and what's his game built?
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: He's doing this? You see all you see this in
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: the sing going on.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: I've seen him do that after he's scored fifty five points.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I'm not that's it's not gonna That's not it. He's
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: had great games when he's come on, guys, you guys
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: are graspy. Now, what do you mean grasping?
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: Has Yo Kic looked like Yokic since he returned from
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: his injury?
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: No?

• 29:16

• 29:22
  Speaker 2: Okay, great joke, Mosh, that's the one you had in

• 30:03
  Speaker 4: Let me turn on, what do you expect? So they're
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: gonna be out for a couple more weeks? Do you
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: expect them to lose every game?
• 30:08
  Speaker 5: Is?
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: Are you going to use that as an excuse for
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: every game?
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: I'm just curious, at what point do you stop saying
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: that this is who they are? They should have won
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: that game last night minus two of their best defenders,
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: yes or no? Yes or no?
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they should have Okay.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: So stop.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Detroit went to New York last night minus all their
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: bigs in one. The Denver Nuggets went through the month
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: of January minus two starters and at times minus four starters.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Two centers did play. They went ten and six.
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: Stop and keep you updated. Let's see.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Keep you, keep you updated on the Canada game coming

• 30:54
  Speaker 2: you updated.
• 30:55
  Speaker 5: Let's see.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: Keep you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: I have not hit somebody with a good shit. You
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: are not innocent in this either. It's trying to get
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: to a break. In two minutes, You're like and this text,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: wrote this in and then I got most you're singing
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: a song. So I did dad mode.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: In my defense, Vic, everything that's coming out of our
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: mouths today in that regard is driven by you. Listen.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: I wake up every morning and my intent is to
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: step in front of this microphone and talk sports. And
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: I gotta deal with those ridiculous lines you give me.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: The road to hell is paved with good intentions, bro Okay,
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: and that's where you're taking us today.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: This is by the way, oh by the way, stories
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: that little tidbit, stories that I think you need to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: hear about. First of all, Canada and Finland on right
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: now are about four and a half minutes in.
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: Apparently, Direct TV says it starts at nine to fifty
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: and anybody who tunes in at nine to fifty is
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: gonna be highly disappointed because right now we are rocket
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: and we are also rolling, yes.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: But no score in the early going for this. You know,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I just saw this speech from the mayor of Chicago,
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Brandon Johnson, and he was talking about the Bears, and
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I was thinking about this. I don't know a ton
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: about politics, but I have to imagine if you're the
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: mayor of Chicago, in Chicago leaves to go to Hammond, Indiana,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: while you are mayor, you are not getting re elected again. Right,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: It's got to be like the easiest you could have
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: anybody running against him in that next election. You'd think
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: he'd probably lose.
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: I'm sure there's other factors.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: Sure the success of a mayor.
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: I agree with you, but do you.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Think that's I'll tell you this right now, whoever's mayor
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: of Denver and the Broncos leave this state, you ain't
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: get re elected. Do you disagree, dude?
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: I I don't know. Paulitic Yeah, I'm not sure. It's
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: not a state legislative and governor issue. It might be
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: a mayor issue. It might be both.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Maybe I've never had the money. You think he has
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: a safe of money that we just go to my seat.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: I've seen plenty of coaches get fired for having bad
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: rosters before.
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: I've also seen this, and I guess it depends on
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: how much you love your team or whatever. I saw
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: a lot of people online going, oh, yeah, we're supposed
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: to help a billionaire, but I don't think the mccaskeys
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: have a billion dollars, do they well?
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: From my understanding, it's similar to what the Broncos are doing,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: is that they're fronting most of the money. They're just like,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: can you pay for the infrastructure around the new stadium?
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: And they're like no.
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: By the way, the Bears have been working on this
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: for five years. I remember when the New York Islanders
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: were playing vict Nassau Coliseum. You remember the old dump
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: sure out. I mean, they're a long time home out
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: on Long Island. And so the guy who owns the
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: team says, Okay, hey, listen, I'd like to build a
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: new arena and I want you to pay for it,
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: and the people are like no, He's all right, I'll
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: tell you what I want to build a new arena
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: and all this, you know, all this housing and all
• 34:02
  Speaker 5: this you know, restaurants. Let's go fifty to fifty or whatever.
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: And they're like no, no, and he goes, all right,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I'll do it all I'll pay for everything. Just tell
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: me that I can do it, and they go no.
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: So he ends up moving the team to Brooklyn, right,
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: and he's playing in the basket the new basketball joint
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: in Brooklyn before they finally got the new building in Belmont.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: But it's like, it doesn't matter if it's a quote
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: billionaire owner and you don't want to pay another dime
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: to help them or whatever, it doesn't matter. They have
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: the team. Yeah, do you want I don't care if
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: you think it's right or wrong. Do you want the
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: team or do you not want the team? That's where
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: it is. End of story. Oh but and it doesn't
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: matter what you're feelings say.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, do you guys see her name
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: is Danica Mason. She's an Australian reporter who is in
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Italy covering the events for Australia.
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: Is this funny or as this sad.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: I think this is great.
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: So it's hilarious for those who don't know. She's doing
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: a live report back to her local station in Australia.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: She obviously it's not a local state. It's like the
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: big Right, it's like one of the big nationals. It'd
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: be like their Espanists, I think.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: So she's doing a hit talking about the Olympics, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: she seems to have had a drink or two. I
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: don't know what the time difference is in Australia as
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: opposed to what it is in Italy, but here's what
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: it sounded like.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: Literally, the like the price of coffee over here is
• 35:32
  Speaker 7: actually fine. It's more the price of coffee in the
• 35:36
  Speaker 7: US that we are going to have to get used to.
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: I'm not sure that the Iguanas, where are we going
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: with that one?
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: But anyway, this goes on for a while. She talks
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: about how much she loves Lindsey Vonn.
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: The forty one year old, revealing that while she has
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: the massive journy head for her, she's grateful for all
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: the support she's away. It's absolutely credible, to say, honestly,
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: to see the amount of support that she has is
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: incredible and the journey ahead it is remarkable, but also true,
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: the fact that we've got so many athletes who are
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: willing to compete as well after her as well. She
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: is just one of those athletes.
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Here's the thing in their mind.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: Why are people acting like she's being unprofessional? This is
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: a fun thing. It's the Olympics. She's not reporting a murder, okay,
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: so let her.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Have some fun.
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, hold on, well, I think it's whatever.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: You can't just have announcers, all right, So Mike Tarico
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Tonet when he hosts, she just have a.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Tell you something right now. I've thought this forever. And
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Matt Kroll, if you're listening, hear me. I think you
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: should have a guy who does reports while he's having
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: a couple of drinks during the game. I think that's
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: what a broadcast names you need, he writes, Johnny, and
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: to me over there and uh, I don't know, a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: three hundred level somewhere having some drinks with some people
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: reporting on the vibe of the stadium in the crowd.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: I love this idea. The fact that they made her
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: apologize for this, I think is insane.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Hold on, man, hold on a sec.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: She isn't doing this. He isn't doing this if you
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: showed up on this radio show intoxicated and doing like.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: We did after the championship game one first words out
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: of his mouth after the ABS one was I'm pickled
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: those shows.
• 37:34
  Speaker 5: Do what I've been partying all night with the Stanley Cup.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: What do you expect she was partying all night with
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: something else?
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: Maybe no, no, no, no, no no no no, totally different,
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: totally different. Uh. The fact that she went off on
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: iguanas man like she's in Milan, itaiot's snowy outside and
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: the Iana. What'd she saying? Nelly, give me the iguana
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: again please? And people are like, what the hell you mean?
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: What are you talking to? Guanas? Like where do where
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: does iguanna come from?
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that the iquanas?
• 38:04
  Speaker 7: Where are you going with that one?
• 38:05
  Speaker 5: But dude, I know so my favorite part the Prime
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: Minister of Canada. So they tried to play it off, right,
• 38:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, she's stone cold hammered. If she not.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: She said she had a drink.
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: I was like, well.
• 38:25
  Speaker 5: Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanice expressed his clear support for Mason.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Quote I'm pro Danica.
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: Good on her.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but he says she's over in Italy and she
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: would have been tired. It's the time difference. It would
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: be having an effect on anybody. Nothing to see here.
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: Could you imagine if Michael did hammer Bro, do you
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: believe in Miracles? Half wasted?
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: It'd be a much different call.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: I can different thing. He's calling a game. She's just
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: giving it up date from Italy. It's a two minute hit.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: Matt Crawl says, I've already let Lyles Riker EJ and
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Keith freaking beer in the post game and what about
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: the wine game. Yeah, he's right about that. But Johnny
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: Lyles is going, you guys see it. We're going on
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: a power play. Hey, Polar Bears. Wait, that's got what
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: I kind of got off track there.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure that the iguanas. It's that move right there.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: That's what you know a person is tanking.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: It's the one time I saw a platypus.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's your mandatory. It can't be every time
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: she does a hit. I'm just saying, maybe like once
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: a week you let her have a couple of drinks
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: and talk about the experience.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: Hey, finally. Oh, by the way, I know everything Lebron
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: does has to be a story. Do we really have
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: to know? This full article from Bleacher Report, Lebron says
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: he gave up eating chocolate chip cookies after miss seeing
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the season. Is that something we need
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: to know about Lebron and what he's done this year
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: to improve his body?
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: Somebody asked him how he keeps in shape, and he answered,
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: cut out cookies. Well, we knew everything about Tom Brady.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: He didn't need strawberries. I mean, you're you're being a
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: little picky now.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I didn't need a cookies a boy. That's why I
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: have to say pack Vic.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: It's one thing. It's one thing to report that Lebron
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: gave up cookies or that Tom Brady's never eaten strawberry.
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: It's another thing for expecting me to actually give a
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: red flip about any of that crack.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 40:38
  Speaker 5: I agree. God, what have we gotten to as a
• 40:40
  Speaker 5: society where giving up chocolate chip cookies makes me want
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: to Oh?
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Why are you talking about it?
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Because dork trotted up? It's so mad?
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Now you know what Finland almost scored?
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: Alright, I gave up cookies and now I played basketball better.
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: If we're at it cured my buff spot.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Now, can I tell you something if here's where it
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: makes sense. If Lebron then looked like Zach Veen in
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: the middle of this year and he said I gave
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: up cookies, I'd be like, all right, that's a big
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: deal then, and now I get it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: It's just basketball.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: Dude, he's almost forty two years old, and he looks
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: like an adonas are you crazy?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: No, I'm saying, but I know he looks if he
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: turned into that, that's what I'm talking about.
• 41:28
  Speaker 5: Maybe I should do that.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Gies basketball add to that list.
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: Maybe I should go total stud I haven't elected yet
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: to go total stuff. Maybe I should go total stud.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: That means you can't have barbecue ribs at seven o'clock
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: in the morning when you walk there.
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: Anything like that. I'm studio. I'm out. Stop talking.
