• 0:35

  Speaker 3: I don't know what's going on with her. So she
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: she hit me with goth metal for a second. I'm like,
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: pre coming up, coming up in the world here, and
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: then she hit me with she uses briosh for her
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and she puts peanut butter
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: on both sides. I'm like, Bri, Bri, Bri. The The
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: overall Q rating is plummeting right now. What is going on?
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: So we'll get to that in a little bit here.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: I do want to say this, so I ran across
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: the story today. Actually, I want to give the Schwartz
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Syndicate a shout out. So, Jeff Schwartz, guy work with
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: on Sunday mornings.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Check it out.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Countdown early morning militia. I know it's early wake up
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: call Sunday mornings. It'll be what nine to noon Eastern time.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You gotta do the math from there if you're a
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: central Mountain Pacific time. But I work with the Schwartz Syndicate.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Great dude, And he texted me today and it was
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: just a portion of a press conference. So like full disclosure,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Jeff and I geek out on the WNBA. We're degenerates.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We bet the WNBA like crazy. I watch a lot
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: of WNBA games. I'm not ashamed at all. I was
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: doing some fill in radio with my guy Jason Martin
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: last year and I told him I watched WNBA the time.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: He thought I was kidding. He thought I was just
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: joking around. I'm like, no, I really watched games left
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and right. So I'm a fan of the league. I
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: love basketball. No shame in my game. I will watch
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And so Jeff he sent me this video. So this
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: is asy Fudd. Asy Fudd was the number one overall
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: pick by the Dallas Wings. Now she is in a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: relationship with Pagebackers. They're a couple. So Page Beckers was
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the number one overall pick the previous season with the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Dallas Wings, and she crushed it. She had a great
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: rookie season. And now this year, asy Fudd was the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: number one overall pick. So now they're teammates. And so
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Jeff sent me this, this link of a video. It
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: was basically a tweet, you know, like a link to
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: this tweet. And so this was asy Fudd. She had
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: just been picked number one overall, and this was one
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of the questions that she received in the press conference.
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: So listen to this and we'll take it from there.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Page announced last year on TikTok that y'all were a couple,
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: and I'm wondering if that is still the case, and
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: if so, if y'all have talked to any other couples
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: in the league about how they negotiate that dynamic as
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: pro teammates.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: I understand why you have to ask that question, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: we're going to respectfully decline from commenting on our players'
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: personal lives.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: The next question. Okay, so it was shut down.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: The PR person was just like, yeah, thanks, we won't
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: be addressing that at all, So let's move it along
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and keep it on basketball.
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: Which I get, totally understand that.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I totally understand how the Dallas Wings wouldn't want to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: make things all about the relationship between Page Beckers and
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: their newest number one overall pick Easy Fud for obvious reasons.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: They If Easy answers that question, there are going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: be fifty more questions about the relationship the Dynamics. It's
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: never going to end. There's always going to be a
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: question about that. It's going to lead into the regular season.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: You know, Azy Fudd has a bad game. You know
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Pagebackers looked a little bit miffed at one time in
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: the game. Is everything okay? They just don't want to
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: go down that road. Totally understandable in my brain.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: But the thing that's interesting with this whole thing, So
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: this the original tweet from the Sporting News. It's got
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: nearly eight million views, Okay, and it just says a
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: reporter asked Azy Fudd about her relationship with Page Beckers,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: but the Wings media team said they won't be commenting
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: on their players' personal lives. Almost probably has eight million
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: views by now, I bet it does. I think I
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: could let me let me try the link. I'm just
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: curious if it's gotten to eight. It might be closer
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: to nine at this point, but that's crazy the amount
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: of views this has got, the attention it's gotten. Yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: we're at nine million views now. It was seven point
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: eight like a couple hours ago. It's crazy. So it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: got a ton of traction, and so the comments, like
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: people will quote tweet this and write whatever they write.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: They'll respond to the Sporting News original tweet, and so
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: one that caught my attention Ashley Nicole Moss. So Ashley,
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: she's a basketball analyst. She's also a sideline reporter for
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: CBS Sports, and her tweet got some traction. She just wrote,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: it's weird and gossipy as hell that people keep asking
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: about her about Page asking Azy Fudd about Page posting
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: about her, and Page Page already got drafted.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: They're not conjoined twins. That was her tweet. So the
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: first part of this, this is what I texted Jeff.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: It's not weird and gossipy as hell for people to
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: ask Asy Fudd about Page Beckers. There are a million
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: fair questions that you could ask, and it might be
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: a little bit awkward to ask questions about a relationship
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: and how it might impact the team, you know, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: business of the Dallas Wings. But those are even though
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: it might be a little bit awkward and a little
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: bit odd, those are fair questions. What happens if you
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: know the relationship isn't working out, What happens if they
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: break up their teammates? You tell me that can't be
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: a thing. Potentially in the lack of course it could.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: But the other part of this is there are a
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: ton of tweets of like, this is just so inappropriate.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: It's not even a basketball question. Why would anybody be
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: asking anything related to their relationship? And then you get
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: these like this, this would never happen in a male sport,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: that sort of thing, and it's like, look, not everything
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: is sexist. And I got news for you. Anybody who
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: thinks that if Joe Burrow announced that he's dating wide
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: receiver Jamar Chase, there would be questions.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: There would be a million questions.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, this is not just a sexist thing, like, oh,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: there's this female couple.
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Now they're teammates.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Well, let's just pry and be gossipy and let's just
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: be weird as hell as Nicole as Ashley wrote there,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: it's like, it's not that there are questions about actual
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: basketball the impact of the team, and the same thing
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: would happen.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: Believe me, in male sports.
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: This is not I don't know, just like making something
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: out of nothing, or being weird or being gossipy. Some
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: of these are fair questions. They are fair questions, and
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I just think there's a tendency for that to happen
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: sometimes in female sports. It happened just a couple of
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: days ago after the WNBA Draft. So the WNBA commissioner,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Kathy Engelbert, she was asked after the first round of draft, hey,
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: how long are you thinking about doing this' phrasing? You know,
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: like there was a lot recently. The FISA Collier is
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: one of the best players in the WNBA. The FISA
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Collier was calling the commissioner out and again I'll paraphrase
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: where she was like, she basically sucks at her job.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: She's bad at her job, she should not have her
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: job as basically what we're one of the best players
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: in the WNBA was saying. So to ask Kathy Engelbert, hey,
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: you know there was some static going on in the
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: off season how long do you see yourself being the
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: commissioner of the WNBA?
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Totally fair question, and she.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Literally said, she was like, I don't know if you
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: would ask a male commissioner the same thing. It's like, really,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: you've had Goodell asked that numerous times throughout the years.
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: You've had Gary Bettman face those same questions. You've had
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Rob Manfred face those same questions. So to a immediately
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: go to the sexist card of like whoa, whoa, whoa,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you're asking me this? Are you asking the men this? Yes,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: actually they are. They're asking the men that even more
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: often than the female commissioner in this situation here. So
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: not everything is sexist, Not everything is a witch hunt.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Not everything is like hey, let's like what make fun
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: of a female sport?
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: It doesn't always rise to that.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: And look, I understand why some people would be very
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: cynical and some people would wonder like whoa, like where's
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: this coming from? Or yeah, is this equal and men's
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: sports compared to female sports? But if you really walk
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: down that road and you're objective about this, Kathy Engelbert
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: is not the only commissioner who's faced questions about, hey,
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: how long do you see yourself doing this job. How
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: long do you think you're gonna have this gig? How
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: long do you want to have this gig that happens constantly.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: It's happened year after year after year to Goodell, Bettman, Manfred.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: So it's not a sexist thing, man, and the thing
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: with you know, I'll meet you halfway. For anybody who
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: sees things differently, I think there are plenty of inappropriate
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: questions that a reporter could ask Easy Fudd or could
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: ask Paige Beckers about the dynamics of their relationship. The
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: question that I played was kind of weird, where it's like, hey,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: have you basically sought advice from other players who are
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: couples around the league? Like who would do that? That's
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: just kind of an odd question. So there certainly are
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: odd questions to ask because I make it like, what's
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the equivalent of that of let's say I don't know.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: Let's say I have a brand.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: New relationship, which is not true, but let's just say
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: I did and I don't. Like there was a member
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: of the militia who called in like, hey, did you
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: did you ask other couples questions about the dynamics of
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: their relationship that could be helpful toward the dynamics of
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: your relationship and be like.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: That's a freaking weird question.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: No, I haven't asked anybody anything, you know, I'm just
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: living life.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: We're just trying to be a good couple together. Like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: it's just an odd question.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: So certainly there are odd questions that can be asked,
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: But it doesn't mean that everything is weird and gossipy automatically.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: It just doesn't mean that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: And so I don't know, man, I just think there's
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: a quick trigger finger where you know, it's like whoa, whoa, whoa?
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Not any question is fair whatsoever. It's like, no, there
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: are there are a lot of fair questions to ask
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: about a dynamic like this. There are two players who
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: are a couple. What happened if the relationship goes south?
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: What?
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: Then?
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: That could be a thing like how strong is this relationship?
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: That could be important.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Would easy Fund have been the number one overall pick
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: had they not been in a relationship?
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: That could be a something that maybe you don't.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Want to ask per se, but it is a fair
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: question to just even wonder about. So not everything rises
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: to oh, you're only thinking these things because you're a
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: raging sexist.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: It's not the case.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: So I don't know, man, I just think that sometimes
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: something seems a lot more sinister than it really is.
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: That's just the bottom line, But that's how I see it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is your phone number?
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts on that? Being interested to
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: hear it? But I just think that, Look, man, I
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: want the WNBA to do well. I want the WNBA
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to be successful.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I like the league.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: I watch it a lot. I want them to grow.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I want them to flourish, you know. I want it
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to be a very successful league. I love basketball, so
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: I'm definitely not rooting against it. But I think you
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: can really really turn off fans when you play a
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: card that is just it's not correct. You know, it's
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: just not the case. And if you immediately go to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the uh, whoa are you asking the male commissioners how
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: long they're planning on staying with their jobs?
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: Here?
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Are you doing that? It's like, yeah, actually they are.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: They're doing that a lot in fact, you know, So
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: when you play that card inappropriately, I think it can
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: turn a lot of people off, Like, you know what,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: this is just drama.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: This is just like.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: You know, it turns into that real fast. I think
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: you got to guard against that. I think you had
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: to be careful about that. And there are some WNBA
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: gatekeepers where it's like you don't realize you're actually damaging
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: the product by being this gatekeeper this.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna shout for what's right and they.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Need to be treated this way. And it's like, that's
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: not even what's going on right here. It's a sports question.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: It's a sports question, that's it. It's not about you know,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: prying into a like a lesbian relationship. It's not anti gay,
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: it's not anything like that. It is about sports, like
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: that's that's.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: What it is.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: So to react as if it's something completely different than that,
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: I think is stupid. I just don't think it makes
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: any sense whatsoever. And I think you got to tread
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: lightly and not step in it when you're thinking about
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: doing that and reacting that way. This is my two cents,
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: But feel free to check in on that or anything else.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: We will get to ball along the way. I do
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: have what I think is a good suggestion WNBA. And
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: also Breeze outrageous food takes outrageous, unbelievable she was doing
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: so well goth metal and then Briosh, it was just
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: hard left turn. Man. We'll get into that as well.
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Looking forward to all that. Let's see coming up next exactly.
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Oh oh, I want to change one word. Okay, I've
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: got a suggestion, just a suggestion. I think it's an
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: award winning suggestion. I think it could actually help a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: league out a decent amount. I think it could be
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: a good change to make. So I want to throw
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: that out your way. See if you sign off on
• 15:37

  Speaker 9: Some of my songs in the system they're like ghost buttons, right,
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: So it's like, oh, this is a song, but there's
• 17:03
  Speaker 9: no audio attached to it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: Uh huh, that's what happened with the last one.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: You must have really wanted to play this to remember,
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: you know, it's one of a you.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Know, one of the artists that we've bonded with.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, this doesn't sound like the original? Am I here?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Is my hearing wrong? Or why does it sound like
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: the new like sort of EDM version, you know what
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I mean? Like it seems dressed up a little bit.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Does it not? Okay, maybe it doesn't seem like the
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: original to me, is this the original? It sounds dressed
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: up a little bit. Well, it's the original.
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize it sounded like that. Wow, I have
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: no It sounds way poppier than the original to me,
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: sounded a lot more country.
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Maybe I have it cranked up at full volume when
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: I listened to and that's a little quieter.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Maybe it is.
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: That could have been it. That definitely could have been it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Let me get to the militia here in a minute.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: I do have an idea. Okay, I want you guys
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: to tell me if I'm onto something here. You think
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: I'm just, you know, stupid with this observation. So there
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: have been a couple of contracts in the WNBA.
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: Bear with me.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: It's another WNBA thing. But I'll make it quick and
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: painless and you might even agree with me. So Asia
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Wilson with the Las Vegas Aces, she's fantastic. She just
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: signed a three year, five million dollar Supermax contract. Three years,
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: five million dollars Supermax. Okay, the FISA Collier. There was
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: news on Thursday night She's staying with the Minnesota Lynx,
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: a one point four million dollar supermax deal, one year,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: one point four million dollars Supermax. I think the WNBA
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: needs to avoid using that word supermax. That's not smart
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: at all. Now follow me on this one.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: Celtic star Jason Tatum, he signed a three hundred and
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: fifteen million dollar super max contract. Okay, now that's a supermax. Okay,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: one point four million dollars Supermax.
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: No.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Like, The point is, you don't want to make your
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: own league seem small, Just don't do that. Here's my idea. Okay,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: And I'm not expecting the WNBA to have the same
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: amount of money that the NBA has. The NBA has
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: had far more years to grow the game, grow the money.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: It's a work in progress with the WNB. They're making
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: significant strides. But no one in their right mind would
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: expect the WNBA to be on the same level as
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: the NBA. Ratings wise, financially, attendance, all that stuff, TV ratings,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: all of that.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not This is the thought.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Isn't to like hammer the WNBA for not being on
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: the same level.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: That would be a stupid takeaway.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: The takeaway is when someone hears super max contract, they're
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: used to hearing numbers in the high two hundred million
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: dollar range the three hundred million dollar range.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: There's been a.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Lot of super Max contracts in the in the NBA.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: So when you hear the WNBA, Nafisa Collier, who's magnificent,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: one of the faces of the league, one point four
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: million dollars Supermax deal.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Like, that's just just a punchline. It's a joke.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: There are comments left and right on X where it's
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: like Supermax. I fell over when I heard that. You
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: just don't want to put yourself in that position. If
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: you're the W and WNBA. Here's my thought, here's what
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I think they should use instead. Okay, you tell me
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: if you think I'm ridiculous or not. Premiere Premiere contract,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: different terminology. It doesn't have the same takeaway when you
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: if if I if the headline is the real headline.
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: Let's just doctor it a little bit. Sources the FISA
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Collier signs with links on a one point four million
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: dollar premiere contract. I think that lands so much better.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: You don't have the takeaway of super Max.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Oh at one point four super.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Mas, Wow, you don't have that. That's better for the
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: w NBA, is it not?
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I tell that's what you're saying. That makes perfect sense.
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Thank you don't highlight how small your league is. Yes, right, you're.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: You're putting a gigantic spotlight on We don't have hardly
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: any money.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: I mean that's pennies compared to those other contracts that
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: you mentioned.
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, why would you use the same terminologies.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Especially why to highlight how much your league is growing?
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly, that's right, And instead you're using the same
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: terminology service.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: It's not good, it's.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Not smart, and just bake up a word that it
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: means the same thing as Supermax. But you're not saying Supermax.
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: It lands totally differently.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: What about Wumbo Jumbo kid? Okay, let's try it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: Asia Wilson, the WNBA's first four time MVP, has signed
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a three year, five million dollar Wumbo Jumbo contracts.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: Wow, what do you think? I mean, I think it's
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: better than Supermax.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I think you could throw out almost anything but Supermax
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: and it would be an improvement. My idea is Premiere
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: Lorraina goes with Wumbo Jumbo. I think either way you
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: got a winner right there. You got anything, Brie, You're
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: throw out a phrase, a catchword. What do you think
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: up to the top of your head.
• 23:01
  Speaker 9: I was just gonna say, when has the w NBA
• 23:03
  Speaker 9: actually ever like followed through with being smart with their
• 23:07
  Speaker 9: any business and financial and verbiage communication decisions. So what
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: expectations do you really have when it comes to them
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: actually like being very you know, thoughtful about what they're saying.
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: So, well, hey, that's true, that's absolutely true. But it's
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: it's a new day, it's a new dawn.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: It's a new day.
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: You know.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: We we gotta correct some stuff over here. They've stepped
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: in it before in the past. It's all about the
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: here and now it's about the future. We gotta we
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: gotta tighten some screws around here, you know.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: So it's make a good decision something.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but get away from super max that it's horrible terminology.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: It just turns your league into a punchline. Why would
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: you do that to yourself?
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Like, at least the the NBA, And it took some time,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: but they've tried to really hammer home that that ownership
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: owners or they don't refer to them as owners, they
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: refer to them as governors. Right.
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: A lot of people think that's.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Stupid, but they've they've tried to hammer that home for
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a number of years. It's like trying to turn, like
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: change the terminology. It's not gonna be like a snap
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: of the fingers and everybody falls in line. But if
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I'm the WNBA, I would make it abundantly clear. I
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: would actually put it in my CBA. I'd be like,
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: that's the actual terminology the media would follow if the
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: media work up, Sorry, if the WNBA worked with their
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: media partners of like, listen, ESPN, here's what we're trying
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: to do. Okay, when we say super max, it sounds
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: like a joke because the FISA Collier signs.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: For one point four million dollars.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: People are used to hearing Jason Tatum signing for three
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen million dollars. Okay, so we're not gonna
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: use Supermax. We're gonna go get away from that terminology.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: We're gonna create something different. We're just gonna call it
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: a premier deal. It means the same thing, but it
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: sounds different, it lands differently. So we'd appreciate it if
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: you just when you put it out, there's a premier deal.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: It's in our CBA. That's what it's actually referred to
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: as NBA has a supermax deal.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: We don't have that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: We have a premiere contract, Like that's basically a max deal,
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: but we're not saying max because it makes it sound
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: like small potatoes, cool cool way better, way, better approach
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: night and day, better than using the same terminology, Like
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: you could play games with what what percentage is one
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: point four million dollars of you know, three hundred and
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: fifteen million dollars.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I don't even know.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to find that out. I have
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: to google things. It would be a whole thing. I
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: can't find it on the fly. But it's like, I
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: don't know, in the neighborhood of two hundred and seventy
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: percent less or something just insanely crazy, like why why
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: would you do that?
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: You just sounds small. It's not smart, not smart at all.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: All right, let me get out to the phones.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: Here the militias lined up. They want to check in.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: I believe my guy James and Tacoma is out there.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: I want to hear what James has to say. What's
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: going on, James, you're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if you saw
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: what happened, bellas Baltimore last night baseball game between Baltimore
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: and Cleveland. But Baltimore was behind ninth inning four to
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: zero and the picture for Cleveland had no hitter going
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: through eighties. Yeah, go to Baltimore home crowd with Baltimore,
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: they turned against their own team. They started cheering for
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: the Cleveland picture because they wanted to win this of
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: no hitter in person. Yeah, So by christer for you,
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: have you ever turned against your own team if opportunity
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: to with this history being made in person?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Wow, it's a great question, James, that really and I
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: saw what you're talking about. Just like to put a
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: bow on what you're talking about. So the Cleveland picture,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: he's trying to he's trying to get a no hitter
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: for the first time forever. Right, I think they're the
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: last They're the longest drought. Now now is the Cleveland
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Guardians now since their last no hitter, it's been forever.
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: And exactly he didn't get it done, you know, he
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: gave up a hit, and then Baltimore made it interesting. Right,
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: they had they scored two runs, they had two runners
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: on base, and it looked like they're maybe gonna get
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: a base hit and tie the thing up, and the
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: second baseman made a nice play and the Guardians won
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: the game. But that's a brilliant question. I no, man,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: I can't think off the top of my head. I'll
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: put it this way. I'm a Saint Louis Cardinals fan.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: We'll keep it with baseball, especially baseball. If if my
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: team was pretty much out of contention, I would think
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: in the ninth inning, James, if my team were down
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: four to nothing, right and I had a chance to
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: see a no hitter. And there are other dynamics like,
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: for instance, this year, the Saint Louis Cardinals.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Are going nowhere.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, if I were in at ten, what I like,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: you said, turn on my team, I really wouldn't even
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: look at it like that. I'd be like, I'm a
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: fan of baseball and not just a fan of the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Saint Louis Cardinals.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I would like to see history being made. I probably
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: would and that in that scenario.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Yet, now, if this is a a arrive like I
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: hate the Chicago Cubs, I do no way I would
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: ever root for them ever ever ever like being in
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: attendancying history.
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: No, I'm rooting against you every single time.
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Sorry, so I have limits and if this is an
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: important game, Saint Louis needs to win it. You know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: they're they're in a Pennant chase like no way no,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: but in a lost season where they're really going nowhere.
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would, would you Yeah?
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: I would?
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah?
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: No, good stuff, great question, James, very good.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: I like that. I like how you put that. Would
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: you turn on your on your team?
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: You know I I I disagreed with my guy, Arnie,
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Arnie Spanier. Arnie does a great job. I call him
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: chef boy Arnie. That's my silly nickname for Arnie. But
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: Arnie's a great dude. I visited him in Vermont with
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: my World travels, went to his place, you know, watch
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: hoops with Arnie's an awesome dude, awesome, awesome guy. And
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: we disagreed on one thing. He was hammering the Saint
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Louis Cardinals for cheering Albert Pooholes. So Albert Pooholes was
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: a member of the Angels at the time, and he
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: was back in Saint Louis, and Saint Louis gave him
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: a crazy ovation.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: You can imagine, right, this is Albert.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Pooholes, like three time NLMVP, the first ten seasons, he's
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: averaging a three hundred batting average, thirty home runs, one
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: hundred RBIs just like clockwork, you know.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: All time cardinal great one rings.
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: He's got numerous championships, right like, And he goes back
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: to Saint Louis and the Saint Louis fans cheer him
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: like crazy, and Arnie was just like, oh, you're turning
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: on your team.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: What do you doing?
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: What?
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: I thought he was freaking crazy. I still think he's crazy.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: You could absolutely cheer a former player who starred for
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: your team. You're just showing appreciation for the guy. You're
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: not turning on your team and saying, go Angel, screw
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: the Cardinals.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: You're not saying that at all.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: But yeah, some fans they look at it like that.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: They get really territorial. But that's an awesome question by James.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: I put it like this, If it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: If it put my team at a disadvantage, then no,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that. But if it really didn't put
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: my team at a disadvantage, would I root for another
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: team to do something historic against my favorite team?
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: I would do that.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: I think baseball lends itself to that more than any
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: sport think about that. You got one hundred and sixty
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: two games, you know what I mean, Like you drop
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: a game in April, there's so much runway right left
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: to go to make that up, Like, oh yeah, it's yeah.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: You got a chance to see a no hitter. I'd
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: say a perfect game. Perfect game is almost a no brainer.
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: You've got like twenty five ish of those in MLB history.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: You got a chance to witness a perfect game.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: And you turn that down. Like I'd be like, you know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: if I'm not outright going like.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Come on, guy, let's go get get another out against
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: my favorite team, internally, I'd be like, I kind of
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: hope he gets another out here. It was amazing what's
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: going on here. It's a great question by James. Really
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: good stuff. Yeah, shame on me. My job as a
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: show host, I should be coming up with stuff like that. Instead,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I've I've got, you know, premiere contract for the w NBA.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: That's what I brought to the table here tonight, man,
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: small potatoes compared to James. James brought his a game here.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: You know, he's crushing it.
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: Very nice. Let me go to Cardiac Stanley.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: He's been hanging with me from Ohio, I appreciate your
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: basient's Cardiac Stanley, what's on your mind these early morning hours.
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't do that, but if it really didn't put
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: my team at a disadvantage of what I root for
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: another team to do something historic against my favorite team.
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: Is, I would Yeah, yeah, I would do that.
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: I think baseball and as to that, more than any sport.
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: To think about.
• 32:44

  Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's me. That's what's happening.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: That's kind of odd.

  Speaker 3: Oh, I'll tell you one of my most random stories.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: I gotta tell you one of my most random stories.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Happened in Portland. Okay, do I have time for this
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: now or should.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I do it on the other side and a half minutes?
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Ki, okay, all right, Well, first thought, let me pay
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: us pay some bills right here. Huh, For over forty years,
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: Tire has been helping customers find the right tires or how,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: what and where they drive, ship fast and free back
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: mobile tire installation, tire rec dot Com. The way tire
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: buying should be. Okay, here's my story. So he's doing
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: radio in Portland and we had this event. It was
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: like the NBA Draft or something. So some other guys
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: were doing their show there. So I went there and
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: just hung out, just hanging out watching my co workers
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: do their show.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: And this girl walks into me from behind.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Oh I'm just standing there like, you know, against the wall,
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: and this girl just boomed, like just nailed, like walks
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: into me from behind, and I kind of looked at
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: her and I was like, what was that about?
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: You know?
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: And so after the show ends, I see this girl
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: and she's there and we were just talking.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: She's there with her brother, I believe.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: And it turns out they told me they were big
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles fans and they were upset that. I said,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: the Eagles who had just won a Super Bowl. This
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: is like the Nick Foles Super Bowl. They beat the Patriots,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: And I said the next season, they wouldn't even make
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. And they were mad about my prediction that
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't make the playoffs. And so what they did,
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: her brother was recording this whole thing. He's recording his
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: sister walking into me because they're upset about my prediction,
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: and they were trying to bait me. Now, they were
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: trying to bait me into whatever, doing something inappropriate.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: Like yelling at her. I don't know, I don't know.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they're trying to set a bear trap that I
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: did not walk into because they were mad about an
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: Eagles prediction of mine. And I was like, you guys
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: are psychotic. You're psychotic right now, that's crazy. What's wrong
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: with you guys?
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: It's a prediction? Who cares? Yeah, And they took it
• 37:06
  Speaker 4: to that level.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: So I've had some random experiences, but I've never had
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: an experience where someone replayed my own sports takes from
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: like five minutes prior.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: That's a new one. Man, he's gonna replay it when
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: he goes to bed. He might, yeah, he might.

  Speaker 3: so let me pay off the sports thingy and I'll
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: get to my horrible singing voice. I can't believe that
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: with the Clippers losing, that means that the Clippers are
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: in the lottery, which actually means the Oklahoma City Thunder
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: are in the draft lottery because Okasee owns the Clippers pick.
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine the Thunder, who are already loaded, who
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: might win another championship. Can you imagine them getting a
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: top ten pick or higher, top five, you know, top three.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: The Dallas Mavericks had hardly any chance whatsoever to have
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: the number one overall pick.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: They got it last season.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: If what if OKC did that? Can you imagine them
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: winning a title and then getting.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: The number one overall pick.
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: That's insane. But I was telling the girls. I was
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: telling Lorena and Brie off the air. I I was, uh, well,
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: I've singing the Turbo tax song because Lorena has issues
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: going on. She's sorting out with taxes. And Lorena complimented me.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: She lied to me and said I had a great
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: angelic type voice, which I appreciate, but it's completely wrong.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: And I told her I sang a karaoke song one
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: time with this girl I know from New York. Yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: it was that that did the kid rock first.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I was off to drink you away.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: I did that like that thing. Yeah, And so she
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: did her part. And as I'm singing, it's just one
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: note the whole time.
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: I have no range.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I put your picture away. I'm hearing it
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: from the loudspeakers. I'm like, this is awful. I have
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: no ability to go up or down. You get one note,
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: man like whatever it was, it's a solid B note.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: That's it I got you. I give you a B note.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: That's all I got. It's all I have, my arsenal,
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: it's pathetic. All right, We get back to ball, right
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: around the corner.
