  Speaker 1: So we are out here at the American Century Championships
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: in Lake Tahoe. It's gorgeous here. Taylor is unhinged. I'm
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: trying to enjoy the scenery. I'm trying to enjoy these
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: moments here. But you are unhinged today, my friend. You
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: have nickname for Christian Pulistic. You're out of your mind, dude.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I just keep mumbling under my breath. Christian Policic.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: He does.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yesterday was a legacy game for Christian Politic. Yeah, the
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: golden boy of the Golden Generation. Biggest match in the
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: US men's soccer history, biggest knockout round match in the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: US men's soccer history. We needed him to be great, Stu. Yeah,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: not only was he not great? Yeah, not only was
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: he not average, he was awful. He lost eleven possessions
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: in the first half, the most of any player on
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the field.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Eleven turnovers. Huh he was I really that a Jets quarterback? Yeah?
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I really don't want to hear the name Pulisic anymore.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: His nickname? Do you know what his nickname is?
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Well, this is a nickname that you have given him, right,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: but he has an actual nickname.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: What is the actual nickname.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: His actual nickname is Captain America.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Captain America is the actual nickname. And this
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: is when things are going good, this is when USA
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: men's soccer is winning.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: He is Captain America.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And I'm guessing you have a new nickname based on
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what happened last night?
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: Correct? Is new nickname going forward that I'm going to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: try to get off the ground? Yeap, Steve Rogers because
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Steve Rogers was Captain America before he turned into Captain America, right,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And Christian Polisic, he's Steve Rogers because he's just a
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: regular dude.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: So he's just Steve Rodgers who never turns into Captain America.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: What he doesn't show up in the big moment? Right,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: he's overhyped because of how low the bar is for
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: men's soccer in America.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Listen, I get it, I get where you're going with this,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But what an awful nickname?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Steve Rogers an awful nickname for an awful player.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, but how to friends, like how do they go
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: about like working with that nickname?
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Instead of people saying, hey, look it's Captain America, people
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: just look at him and go, hey, Steve Rogers.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: But not his friends, Like just when he's walking by
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: people at public You are encouraging the public right now
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: to call if they see Captain America out on the streets. Okay,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you are encouraging them to say hey, not say this.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Don't say hey, that's Captain America.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You want them saying, hey, there's Steve.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: No, you can't, there's old Stevie.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You have to go first and last name, because if
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: you just call him Steve, it's kind of confusing. You
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: have to let it be known he is Steve Rogers.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: He doesn't deserve the nickname of Captain America. Yes, he
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: is just a regular person.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Captain America is reserved for the greats, right, Steve Rogers
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: is reserved for the average person.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Yes, If Christian Polisic is your best player, yeah, you're
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: not winning anything of significance. He's left injured in three
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: of the seven World Cup games he started, right, Not
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: only was he bad yesterday, we can't even count on
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: him to play a full ninety minutes. I know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: But Tim Mareen was the guy you were getting out
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in the first segment. So now it's it's Captain America
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: who were now calling Steve Rogers.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I can't wait to see Pulistic.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: If I see him, I wouldn't know if if if
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he was sitting next to me right now doing the show,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know it was Steve Rodgers. But if I
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: do see him and someone points out, hey, that's Captain America,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna be like yo, Steve.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: And then after after the match, the reporter was asking
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: him about his injury and he was like, get it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: hurts right now, but now I get a chance to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: rest up, rest up for what you set out. You
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: sat out last year of the the US tournament, Yeah,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: because you said you wanted to be fully prepared for
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the World Cup.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Wasn't the beauty of this team supposed to be that
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Pulistic wasn't their best player?
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Right? That he could be Steve Rodgers and they'd be fine.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Polistic has to be for the US team to be
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: what the what people want the US team to be.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Polistic has to be their best. He has to be
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: their best play.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: The thing is you have other players that have risen
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: their level, the Weston McKinney's, the Tyler Adams to where
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Polistic doesn't have to carry the team necessarily. But he
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: can't be a negative out there on the field, on
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the pitch, as they say.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Right on the pitch. I love the idea of just
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: such a common nickname. Put it on the Paul Taylors.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Should we start calling Christian Pulistic instead of calling Pulisic
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Captain America? Should we call them Steve Rogers.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of I'm gonna put it in
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: NFL terms for you, for Christian Polisic, right, because I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was wrapping my brain around this yesterday. What is the
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: NFL equivalent for Christian Polisic?
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Boy?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: And I've settled on really just any mid quarterback in
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: that fifteen to like twenty five range. So Trevor Lawrence,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray, Yes, one of those quarterbacks that comes in
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: with a crazy amount of expectations, a crazy amount of hype.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: You watch them, you see flashes of potential, but overall
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you're watching a player like Trevor Lawrence and you're like, Okay,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars are never winning anything of significance
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: if Trevor Lawrence is their quarterback.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I understand what you're saying, but what you're saying about Pulistic.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Is he's Clark Kent.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Clark Kent who never turns into Superman.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He is Bruce Wayne, who never turns into Batman.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is Steve Rodgers, who never turns into Captain America.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: So Bruce Wayne. I don't know if it's the best comparison,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: because I don't think Batman had any Like Batman didn't
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: get transformed with powers. He was mostly just like technology, just.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Put an outfit on. Yeah, I mean he had a belt,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and I think.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: He knew like martial arts or taekwondo, one of those two.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: It was odd that he could just put that stuff
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: on and all of a sudden he's spinning like you know,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: he's flying from buildings.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, he could do whatever. It's ridiculous.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: What a ridiculous superhero that was probably perhaps the most ridictable, well,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: outside of Pulistic, the most ridiculous superhero we've ever had.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, Batman, please, utility belt.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I wish Pulistic got a utility belt that prevented him
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: from turning the ball over and scoring a goal once
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: in a while.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: But that in terms of superheroes that could actually become superheroes,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Batman is the most attainable for the common folkus because
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you don't you don't need it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: Feels like it could have been anyone.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you don't need like a bite by a
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: radioactive spider or any of the you know, you get
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: submerged in a tank that all of a sudden gives
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: you these these powers. Batman was just Hey, he's a billionaire,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: he's got the resources. He's going to find his way
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: to be a superhero.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Bruce Wayne has it pretty good.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Like the idea that he would want to be Batman
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: is absurd to me, because you're right, you had a
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: big mansion, he was a billionaire, He had a butler,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: his name was Alfred. I mean, he had it all
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: and like to waste any sort of time saving other
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: people's lives when you could be living your own life.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do it? Seriously? Maybe that's
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: what Polistic was thinking.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I just the image of him just on the bench.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I think if you had a lasting moment from this
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: World Cup, what it's going to be. Yeah, I think
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: it's going to be Christian Polistic with his head in
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: his hands, subbed off when the team very clearly had
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: no chance, no future. He's twenty seven. Next World Cup cycle,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: he's going to be thirty one. The problem with this
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: World Cup team is a lot of the players.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Five years younger than Ring. By the way, no way,
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: thirty eight, seven years younger than Ring. But anyway, you
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: were saying.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: The problem for this World Cup team is a lot
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: of the players were going into their prime or entering
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: their prime. Four years from now. This core it's going
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to be there either in their prime still or exiting
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: their prime. And that's why it felt like this was
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the now or never year for the USA.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Well, the hope is that this team would inspire the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: next generation, that hosting the World Cup would inspire the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: next generation, that from the three hundred million people that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: we have, we would find more soccer players. And I'm
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: here to tell you we will not. They are all
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: sprinting to NFL right now, and college football. They are
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: all sprinting to anything but soccer. You put it in
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: all that work and you get embarrassed like that against
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the world power in Belgium. Why do I want to
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: sign up for that? The money's not in soccer. You
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: know where it is, Major League baseball, you know where
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it is. The NFL. You know where it is college football.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: There is one way to fix soccer in this country.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Well, start paying them more.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: No, we have to put a thirty year ban on
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: kids playing football, basket on baseball. Yeah, and then say
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: we're putting one hundred percent of our attention to soccer.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: That's unfair to the kids. Man.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: You do that, though, yes, and you'll see how many
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Embappes and Hollins we have.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: So what you're doing is forcing the next Randy.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Moss to play soccer rather than play football, because that
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is the problem. Okay, rather than play soccer. You're forcing
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: them to play soccer. That is the problem. The Randy
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Moss is at one point in their life they decide, Hey,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you know what, enough of this sitting around crap enough.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm sitting here, the ball never comes my way.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: It's hard, I have to use my feet. I can
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: go do something else. I'm a great athlete, world class athlete,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and I can make millions upon millions upon millions of
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: dollars and get TV jobs until the end of time.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But that's the problem. Those kids decide, at some point
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: in their life, this game's boring, This game doesn't have
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: enough rewards for me, I'm gonna go play football.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: We need the next Lebron James in net because I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: never want to watch Matt Freez play.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: He'd be a good goalie even at this age. We
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: could have used them last night.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I think he gets in that starting eleven.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Put it on the poll.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Would you be okay if Lebron was our goal It
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was the US men's national team goalie and were thanks
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: to Taylor Twelveman for joining US earlier. We appreciate his time.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: There are two stories here that I'm trying to get to,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: and I have a feeling I'm only going to get
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: to one. I want to get to Yannis and what happened.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: It became official. He's no longer with Milwaukee. He wrote
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: them a nice letter, goodbye letter, thank you for everything.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: I'm on to South Beach.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: But there was a Jersey mishap that I want to
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: get to, involving Giannis. But there's also this soccer fan
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: that I have no idea what this story is. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: have no idea any of the details surrounding this story.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: All I know is that unhinged Taylor Vipplis today is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a stew got to get to the soccer fit. Got
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: to get to the soccer fan. So let's get to
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the soccer fit.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: So Michael Hewitt is sixty five years old. He's a
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Leeds United supporter. He's from the United Kingdom. Right, he
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: had plans to go from England to the United States
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to watch the England matches.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Here.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: He has a short layover in Barcelona.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: His family does not hear from him. They start an
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: international missing person search. Days go by. Really On the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: tenth day of the search, they track his credit cards
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: and get a location to try to find out where
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: he is. Where do you think he was?
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. I mean I have no idea,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: He was at the Bars in Barcelona.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: You can't spell Barcelona without bar how about that?
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So what had happened was in Barcelona during his layover
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: he loses his phone? Yes, and he cancels his trips
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to the United States because on his phone he had
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: all his travel tickets on it. Yes, he just goes
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: to the Bars to enjoy his time in Spain. He
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't know any numbers saved on his phone to let
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: his family know that his plans change, and he says
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: that he was blissfully unaware that anybody was looking for him.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: In ten days.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: It was probably the greatest ten days of his life.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, no one's trying to get I mean outside
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of the you know, his family being concerned and being
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: an international search for this guy, because his family has
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: no idea where he is. But it had to be
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the ten greatest days of his life.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Just be the great.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's the great. It's what I tell you.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It's why I go to Augusta for one reason. I
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: can't bring my phone on the course. And it's the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: greatest five to seven hours of my entire life. So
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: he didn't have anyone's phone number in his family committed
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to memory.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: Zero.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Do you have anyone that like close to you? Do
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: you have my number committed to memory?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: No?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: No, So if you lost you now I've got too far.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: So if you if you lost your phone and you
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: were at bars in Barcelona, you would not be able
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to get a hold of me.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: No, no chance. I the only numbers I believe I
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: have committed to memory. Yeah, are my mom's phone number right,
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: my dad's phone number, yes, and then the phone number
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: of the house I grew up in that we moved
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: out of about ten years.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, I remember my home number two, I do from
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the first house I grew up in. So you it
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: this guy, so he never gets to the United States,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: he loses his phone, and he decides, here's the best
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: plan of action.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Not alert my family, who's going to be concerned about me.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: But when in Barcelona, why not just hang out of
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the bars for ten days? Why when international search is
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: going on for me? So his family I love him,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: get him on the show.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I Want You with youwit more like blew it?
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: How about that his family knew that he had made
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: it to Barcelona because the last time he had his
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: phone was posting pictures of him in the in the pubs,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: in the bars in Barcelona, right, and then he just
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: goes completely dark, completely off the grid. His family is
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: probably thinking the absolute worst. Where this guy had plans
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to go to the United States to see England live
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and in person. Yes, he said he didn't go to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: the embassy because he didn't really think it was that
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: big of a deal because he still had at his
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: passport and like nothing was wrong.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: I gotta be honest.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: This seems like a guy who wanted to lose his phone,
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: who wanted to spend ten days in Barcelona, who wanted
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to not be bothered by his family. I got breaking
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: news to the ewits. He doesn't like you, he doesn't
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: want to be bothered by you. He just wanted ten
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: days of silence. Leave the man alone.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is this has to be the most
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: British story of all time, because what do you mean
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: this guy just went off the grid completely when zero
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: dark thirty like Lebron James getting ready for a big
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: playoff run, right said, I don't need to let my
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: family know. Just just a major event. Yes, Like your
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: family is expecting you to get on a bird to
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: go to England. See you posting updates.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: For they want to hear all about it.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, and you pull a disappearing act much like Pulissic.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Steve, Yeah, Steve Rodgers holistic Dan.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know if this guy's in the right of
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: the wrong, don't.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not like it has to like you're
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: two days in right, you're on a bender, you're drinking.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It has to feel good, like at some point it
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: has to set in. Listen, this whole like not getting
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: bothered thing. This is awesome. No one's trying to get
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a hold of me. This is awesome. Let me sink
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: into this for another eight days. But he has to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: be thinking to himself. Also, my family's going to be
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: concerned and people are going to start looking for me.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: So I don't know if I should love you it
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: or hate you it. I'm not certain what to do here.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I'm inclined to say I love him. I do want
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: him on the ship, and I would like his parents
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: on the show.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: There is no way Michael Hewittt sixty five years old
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: has a wife, right, because I'm trying to imagine if
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: the situation.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Was also sixty five. He's like he's arrived at an
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: age where he doesn't give a bleep. He's like, just
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: leave me alone. I'm drinking for ten days.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: But if you just stop contacting Abby after the third day,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: she would probably get concerned. The first two days it
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: would be a vacation be Heaven.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, are you kidding me? I think the third
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: day probably still in Heaven. I'm trying to.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Think one Abby would actually call the uh, call someone
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: up and say I'm concerned my husband is missing. It
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be the fourth day.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I doubt it would be the fifth day, because by
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: the fifth day you're really enjoying it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Like, man, there's money still in the account, but I
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: don't have to deal with him.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a classic situation.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I don't think she'd ever call.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: This is a classic situation where if the situations were reversed. Yeah,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: this is only a situation a guy could find himself in,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: of course, like the wife never thinks of I'm just
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: not going to contact anybody yet that thought, that thought
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: never crosses his mind. Right, this is a case of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: just guys being again, like Michael Hewtt described it, blissfully unaware.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, Abby has everyone's number committed to memory, including yours.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: By the way, Wow, in the event of an emergency,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: like she's going to know how to get a hold
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of you, she probably is. Well, she definitely has my
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: number memorized, our kids, yours, my dad.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: She would just let me sit there forever. It would
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: be heaven. All right.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: We are on the driving range here at the American
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Century Championships out in Lake Tahoe.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: We are honored to be here. We love being here.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: It's my super Bowl.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Jack Wagner is still on the driving range this guy
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is dialed in. Here's the beauty of the American Century
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Championships out here in Lake Tahoe.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: You have Jack Wagner right in front of us, just
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: dialed in. I mean she just.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Hitting iron after iron after iron and hitting him well,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: by the way, dialed in. And there's Dexter Fellow right
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: next to Jack Wagner. And on the putting green is
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Did you see Derek Carr.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I saw Derek Derek Carr.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And physical appearance alone looks like you should win this
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: thing every single year, right, I mean he looks like
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: a golfer.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I hate to say because I love Derek Carr. Yeah,
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: but I mean that's kind of how he was that quarterback.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: He's the quarterback you think you want until you get
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Derek Carr. And I say this as somebody who you
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: love Derek Carr. I love Derek Carr. I appreciate his game.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: So when Mac was bouncing around the NFL, Mac Collins,
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: my my former roommate at Carolina, I was very excited
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: when he went to Vegas. I'm like, Derek Carr is
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: my quarterback now. And then about halfway through the season,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: my huh, yeah, I kind of wish there was somebody.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Put it on the poll. I'm saying this very quietly.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Does anyone look the part more than Derek Carr?
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: He leads the league.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: He leads the league in looking at the bar.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Jack Wagner, striping it, Jack, you look great out there.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Give it going, Jack. We got flyers on you.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you just flexed, he did for us.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: That's what this is all about.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Frisko, Joe just flex the f and Frisco stands for flexed.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: He thinks for idiots, he does. Dexter Fowler, huh, he.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Looks great too. So Dexter Fallon is wearing a white
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: polo right now, pink hat and like a salmon color shorts. Yes, yeah,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: it's a color that looks great on him. I'm not
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: sure if I could pull it.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: You can't, Taylor.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I went in with like hesitant cy if I could
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: pull it off. Because this is what happened last year
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: when I saw Ray Allen. Ray Allen had this great
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: like purple and purple fit, and I go, I can't.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: I can't wear that.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: No, only Ray can pull that off. They are certain
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that Ray Allen is the best looking guy here except
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: for Derek Carr. I mean, Ray Allen could pull any
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: look off and has pulled any lookoff. It's interesting because
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: there are some celebrities who are traditionally here who aren't
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: here this year, Travis Kelcey being one of them, although Jason.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Kelcey will be here. Who else have you noticed?
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: There's some newcomers like I think Joe Buck is not coming,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and so what they do here at the American Century
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Championships is no Joe Buck. Okay, he can't make it
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: this year. Okay, Joe Buck's welcome back anytime. But replaced
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck this year with Sean McDonough our Fred and
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to seeing Sean McDonough here, you know.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So Josh Allen's not here. Drake may was in
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the field and then he was replaced with Drew Brees. Right,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes isn't here.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the quarterbacks, they seem to have bailed except for
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr and Tony Romo, who he's been here for
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: three months.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Tony Romo, I haven't seen him yet though, but we
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: saw Marty Fish earlier.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, forget it.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I don't even want to say we're putting a flyer
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: on Marty Fish because Marty Fish is the favorite. Yes,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and you're thinking it's not always sexy to bet the favorite. Yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: but sometimes you have to remember I saw Marty Fish
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: swing once. Yeah, the favorite's the favorite. There's a reason
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: he's a favorite.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's the best golfer out here, Jack Nicholas called him.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: And Marty will join us later this week, but Jack
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Nicholas called him the best non PGA Tour player he's
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: ever played golf with. Wow, I know, I mean, he's special,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: he's good. He's the favorite, and he should be the favorite.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: But he's gunning for Tony Romo. Remember we were talking
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: about Rory, who had the advantage because he's won Augusta
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: of just playing the mat, like playing that course over
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: and over again. Marty Fish has been here for two
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: months and I'm not joking. He has played this course
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: over and over and this means something to Marty Fish.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And he's the best golfer here. He's probably even money,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: would be my guess.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: So I'm looking on the American Century Championship website right
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: now the celebrities. Yeah, Trey Wingos listed. Is Trey playing
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: this year? Is he really this looks like Trey Wingo's
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: playing last year. Trey just came to hang out the
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: first couple of.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Days, that little game of Trey Ornay going up. I
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: like that Lingo got in. Huh, I'm offended.
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like Anderson Cooper being upset that George
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: stepanoppol has got invited to the Kelsey wedding.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: You're upset that you're not in this field, Lingo is.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: No, I wouldn't be upset if Wingo wasn't in the field.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Yes, I'm looking at some of the first timers here.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: Who's Wingo playing anyway?
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: So it's in alphabetical order. So now I'm going back
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: up the list. I see Sean McDonough, I see Doc Rivers,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Doc Rivers the first time here.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Nice, uh docs a fram We'll get doc.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: On Kevin O'Connell, Rob Salait.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: The quarterback whisperers here. Yeah, so they replaced quarterbacks. It
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: seems like with quarterback whispers. Yes, Rob sala is here.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: Kyle Lowry is in the listed field.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Really, so he retired after twenty years and retire a raptor.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: He's going to go into Pro Basketball's Hall of Fame.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say this too loudly because that
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: if he goes into the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, so he's going to get in, right, Larry,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: he is. Yes, it's an NBA champion. He's probably made
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: four All Star Games.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's getting in.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Lesser people have gotten into that Hall of Fame. I'm
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: telling you right now. Check out, Larry and tell me
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: how many All Star Games Kyle Lowry.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Has been in. But we love God, love, we love Listen, listen,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: we love everyone here. Everyone.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: We're talking badly about rich Eisen. We love you, Kyle Lowry,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: love you, love love love, we love everyone here.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm surprised.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Jason Kelsey is still playing in this field, Marcus, Travis isn't.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Because you almost I guess they're not really a package deal.
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: But when your brother's not here, and I guess it's
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: not like Jason Kelsey has to go on a honeymoon
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: or something. That's why I'm assuming that Travis Kelsey's not coming.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Travis is going on the honeymoon. Maison is just coming
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: straight from Madison Square Garden and the wedding.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, he's still there.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: My guess is Travis who loves this event so much,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: love the people who run this event, the people at NBC,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the people at an American Century, champ the American Century. He
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: loves it so much and respects it so much. He's like, hey, bro,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: you got to do me a favor. You need to
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: represent the Kelsey family for this weekend. Okay, I ain't
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be there. I'm on my honeymoon. Jason, you need
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to show up. But Jason is showing up and it'll
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: be great. He's been great the last couple of years
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: he's been out here. I'm checking out Kyle Lowry right
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: now just to see how many All Star Games he's
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: not famer.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Come on, I mean that that would be that would
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: be a damning case for the Hall of Fame. Extra
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: fowl working on it. Chip came over there.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Ex.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Vinnie del Negro is a staple of well, he's also yeah,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: he's also a staple up on the leader board. I mean,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: he's a good golfer. So I'm not going to find
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: the amount of All Star Games. Hold on, let me
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: just put this is this is radio and Tala right now,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, we are looking things up on the
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: fly because we want to determine whether or not Kyle
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Lowry is going to get into Pro Basketball's Hall of Fame.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: I can't imagine Rob Salah being very good at.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Golf because he's what are you doing?
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm doing, Rob, I don't know.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: He wasn't He wasn't good as the Jets head coach.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Is there is there a correlation there that you're doing
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: as a Jets fan, just assuming what you know of
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Rob Solo was just that the Jets tenure did not
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: go well, did not end well. So you're just kind
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: of translating that to the golf course.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: If I'm being honest, he's too muscular, that's it.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: He is very muscular.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: You want to look like Jack Wagner. If you're a
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr is out of the range. Now that's what
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: you want to look like. Yes, how many All Star
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: Games did Kyle Lowry make?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: I'm actually asking you know, I was asking Ai.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: So Kyle Lowry made six All Stars?
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, he's going to the Hall of Fame, tailor get
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: a champion. Yes, he's going to the Hall of Fame.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: And he wanted I think he want to the title
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: with Kaw But he won a national championship as well,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: so the pro basketball though, no Villanova, Okay, he did it.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You're right, I don't know who I was thinking about there.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Maybe Jalen Brunson, who got risk surgery today. Yeah, you concerns.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: They said, the timeline is about two months.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I'd be good if he took a year off.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: We're we are a team where right now, Jalen Brunson
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: has built so much goodwill with the fan base, yeah,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: that he could take as much time as he possibly needs.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: It sounds like he's gonna be ready with plenty of
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: time before the season starts.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Though, Yes, who's your big target this week? You're looking
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: at the list right now, like, who's the.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: It's always Colin Jost. It's always Colin Jost.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna get josted this year, right.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna let myself get josted this year. So
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: what happened to how you get josted? Yeah, gotta believe
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: he's coming on right now. I don't believe he's coming on.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: So last year, this was Tyler's first year here, and
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: I told him.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: He went up to Colin Jost in the driving range
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: and Joe said Hey, when I'm done hitting this bucket
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: of balls, and the bucket was one thousand deep. Okay,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: he said, I'm gonna come over and join you guys.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: And I said, Taylor, when he's done hitting that bucket
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: of balls, where he's going to go is anywhere. But
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: he he told you that so you would get away
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: from Colin Jost. And I told Talor, when that happens,
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: you need to just stand by Colin Jost to make
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: him honitorous word.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Otherwise you got Jose dead.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: I'm not letting myself get josted this year.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but you also don't want to sit through Colin
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Joe's hitting a thousand balls, because he will hit balls
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: until the end of time to see if you just
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: go away.
