  Speaker 4: It's the number one rated Polly in Tony foolsc show, y'all.

• 0:24
  Speaker 4: if you're paying attention at home wherever you're listening to
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: this watching it, you may have noticed we didn't say
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: the show was live, because in fact we are recording
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: this on Wednesday.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: It's what we call in the business a brief dape,
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: isn't that right, Tony?
• 0:42
  Speaker 5: Yup, absolutely, and just so none of you get confused
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: out there. You may see and hear us talking now,
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: but in fact this was all recorded. So as you're
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: watching me, Tony, it may seem like I'm live talking
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: to you, but in fact I'm probably in bed, sleeping
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: or you know, just hanging out or something.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Yep. See, that's what we do.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: We educate on this show, you know, and we're doing this,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: we'll tell you because we're going to the Sixers playing
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: game tonight. Got front row seats in the balcony, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: you know, we just wanted to enjoy and celebrate this
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: guaranteed Sixers win. You know, so that's probably what we're
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: doing right now as you're watching this, you know.
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: And once again, by now, we don't mean now as
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: in now now, but now as in before you understand,
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: of course they do.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Tony so Well said, anyway, joining us today. You know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: some would call him the voice of Philly basketball after us,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: of course, far after US way downs. But yeah, you
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: know him did play by play for the Sixers for
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: twenty seven years, but never as once.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Come on this show, Tony, Yeah, I mean.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Look, he's probably intimidated by our basketball knowledge.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Anyway, Mark Zuomoff will be joining us, and hey, just
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: before we get to our top story, you know, one
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: quick show note. You know a lot of people they're
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: angry at us because last week we told them not
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the bet on Scotty Sheffler last week, you know, to
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: win the Masters, And baby, there's a reason we did that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: We're trying to make your money.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Exactly, bet Chefler, what were you gonna make t three bucks?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You people need to learn how to gamble.
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: If you knew anything about betting, you'd know the sure
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: bet is actually the worst bet you can make.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Such terrific advice that, Tony, and we got more of
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: that great advice coming later in the show.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Just listen for that sounder.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when you hear that, you know Tony's coming with
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: his bet of the week. But in making the money,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: it's time to get into our top story story, all right.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: That top story is the six is making the playoffs. Yeah,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: we're recording this on Wednesday before the game. But come on,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that's a shitty bet as you can get, isn't it, Tony?
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Yep, which also makes it a bad bet, as we
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: just explained, Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Exactly, not gonna make you any money anyway.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: No, we got a bigger problem with this whole play
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: in tournament.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You know, it's so terrible that a.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Team like the Sixers that finishes as a solid seven
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: seed doesn't get an automatic bid into the playoffs.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Ridiculous, Dony, It's terrible.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: They're ruining the proud tradition of Eastern Conference basketball teams
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: making the playoffs despite having a garbage losing record. Think
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: of those proud Charlotte Hornets teams who made the playoffs
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: despite being twelve games under five hundred and barely being
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: the functioning franchise. It was so great that the NBA
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: gave those franchises hope of winning a title at least,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: you know, for a couple of days before they got
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: destroyed and humiliated by a top seed. But you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: not letting them into the playoffs now is a bigger
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: slap in the face.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more, Dony, and now do another strange and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: disheartening situation out of the NBA.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Bill Simmons many people consider to.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Be the greatest basketball writer of our time, and by
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: people I mean total nerds. He somehow decided to leave
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Tyrese Maxi off his most improved players list, even though
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: the six is star increased his scoring by nearly fifty
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: percent this season, and said Simmons, top three was one
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Kobe White to Denny Avdija, and three Isaiah Hartenstein.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Tony, your thoughts, I've never heard of any of those people.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Me neither. I don't even know if those actually are
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: NBA players. Yeah, anyway, let's just keep going away, moving on.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Staying in the NBA, though shocking news the retirement of
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: one of the all time great big men, Blake Griffin,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: and you know, many of his attractors. They're saying that
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: his career didn't live up the expectations.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Are you wanting me? What are they talking about? You
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: know when you look at Blake.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Griffin's story career that you clearly see that's not the case.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Isn't that right, Tony?
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, Blake Griffin did everything an NBA player could ever
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: hope to do.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Just look at this checklist. Pull it up.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: He was a number one overall pick yep, he won
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: Rookie of the Year. He won a championship, a slam
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: Dunk championship, but that still counts.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: He counts yup. He jumped over a car yep.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: And he completed the list by dating a Kardashian, you know,
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Kendall Jenna, but that still counts, still counts.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: In fact, might be the hottest of all the jennikab
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Absolutely just a career that players should aspire to.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Absolutely couldn't agree more well.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Moving to a big controversy out of baseball, fans are
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: in a total uproar over home plate umpire Angel Hernandez,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: who is under intense scrutiny for making calls that are
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: clearly bad when you see them on Twitter six hours
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: later and Tony. You know, people they're getting pretty crazy
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: as some people. It's crazy, you know. They're saying, now,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: this is a reason to take all the umps and
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: replace them with robots.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And that's just that's too far, is it.
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: It's lunacy. You want robot umpires. So what you're saying
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: is you want to replace American.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Jobs with AI. Shame on you, on you.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I don't mean to stand on my
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: soap tray here, but if we have robot umpires in baseball,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: then what's next? Are we going to replace tennis judges
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: with some radar that tells you whether balls were in
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: or out? Are we gonna replace horse race judges with
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: some kind of camera that takes a photo right as
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: the horses cross the finish line? I mean, when does
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: it end? It's a very slippery slope.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: There's great points and examples, Tony. And you know what
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I've always wondered, what's that? What if you had a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: robot behind home plate? Yeah, and then you had a
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: pitcher who decides to argue the call, Well, what's to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: stop the robot from, you know, just killing the picture
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: with his laser eye?
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: Great question.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, we've all seen that famous Sylvester Stallone movie,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: of course, I'm talking about Judge dread. It showed what
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: happened if we let robots enforced laws. Basically, this could
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: end human civilization as we know.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: It just so startling when you put it in perspective
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: like that, Tony and Well, it leads to other baseball
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: news that we have to address. Red Sox pitcher Kenley Jansen.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: He's complaining because he says the new generation of baseballs
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: are not as good as the older.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Generation of baseballs.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He's saying they're of a lower quality and not as
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: well shaped. And Tony, you've done some investigating it. Tell
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: the people what you found.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I've used my own hands to study
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: both balls, and I can tell you the old generations
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: balls are much more tough and leathery. They also hang
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: a little lower in the air. They're just tough old balls.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: But these new balls they're very soft and delicate and tinier.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Not the ones I felt in Philly or even Pittsburgh.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Those were much sturdier balls. But the balls I felt
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: in Boston and New York were especially tiny and soft.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Just terrific investigative analysis that Tony and Well now do
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: a new segment on the show.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: You know, people, they keep coming up to us and.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Saying, we don't know anything about the WNBA women's basketball What. Yeah, exactly, kidden.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: You know we've proven yeah, time and time again, we.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Know it done.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: In fact, we're gonna dunk on you people because well,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: how you know that sponsors out there they're so impressed
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: with our women's basketball coverage that they wanted to sponsor
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: this segment right here, right now. So as part of
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: our new contract with our newer sponsor, we now bring
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: you five minutes of uninterrupted women's basketball coverage sponsored by
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Summer's Eve, the number one douche in the business. Okay,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: tony five minutes on the clock. Let's get into it.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Wow, so much to react to and today discuss. You know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: this Caitlin Clark story is so great because people are
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: learning about women's basketball. Like when she got drafted number
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: one to the Indiana Fever. You know a lot of
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: people didn't know there was a WNBA team in Indiana,
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: or that the WNBA even had a draft, or that
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: the W and WNBA stood for women and not for wacky.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: But now they know. And it's so great because Caitlin
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Clark follows in line of many great WNBA players, unforgettable
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: names like Lisa Loebe and Reggie Miller's sister. How am
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: I doing on time?
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: You still got over four minutes left counting down there?
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's perfect because I have so much more to
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: say about women's basketball. You know, there's so much history
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: in Caitlin Clark going to Indiana. Indiana has such a
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: rich history of women it's basketball, but also men's basketball,
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: men like Larry Bird and Reggie Miller and you know
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: the movie Hoosias that took place in Indiana. And of
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: course you can't forget about Bobby Knight, who sadly left
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: us last year.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: How are we doing on time? No, you know, still
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: got more than three minutes left.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Keep going terrific because you know, talking about Indiana and
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: number one picks, it also calls to mind other legendary
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: athletes who are picked number one overall, people like Peyton
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: Manning who was drafted by the Colts yep, and Andrew.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Luck who was also drafted by the Colts.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: And you know, John Elway was also drafted number one
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: by the Colts and then went to the Broncos. So
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: you know, there's just so much history there with number
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: one picks in Indiana. How am I doing on time?
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Now? Oh? You know, still got well over three minutes,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: don't he going? Great? Okay? Great?
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: And you know people are criticized in the WNBA because
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: it was revealed that Caitlin Clark is only going to
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: be making about seventy or eighty thousand dollars a year.
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: But people need to remember just because you've heard of
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: a company, that doesn't mean that company makes any money.
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: I mean, look at we work, they don't make money.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: And look at the US government we owe money. Does
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: that mean government employees should be paid more?
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I mean when you think about it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Sorry, we going interrupt this segment by dah you know

  Speaker 3: business a pre tape, right, which means we are not live,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: right okay, So Tony just explained so he knows, and just.
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: So we clear Mark, it may seem like we are
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: live on the air right now, but we're not. And
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: while I'm talking to you now, the viewers and listeners
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: aren't hearing you now. I mean they're hearing you now
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: as like now in the show, but not now now
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: in real life.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: You follow you see that?
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I think so.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: I think he's a little confused, Tony.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, you know he's not as much of a broadcast
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: professional as we are used to doing only live.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, but we'll lead you here. Okay, So now we
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: got that out of the way, Mark all right.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Now that the Sixers are in the playoffs because they've
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: beaten the heat, yeah, crushed them.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I'm not playing the game. You're laughing? What do you
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: what are you laughing for?
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: You?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: No, go ahead, I'm with you, all right.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: What's your prediction now that they're in the playoffs for
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: the six.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to go to the conference finals.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: It's just a feel that I have. I'm not a soothsayer.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: I don't have a crystal ball anymore. I got rid
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: of that when I retired. But I just have a feel.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: It's I think the urgency for Joel Embiid he's hit thirty.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I think that he's hold.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: On, you said, get to the conference finals and then what.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Well, you know what then is the Boston Celtics. And
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not ready to say that they have enough to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: beat the Boston Celtics. But listen, every Sixer fans, the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: team that feeds.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: You for years, you turn on them the moment my hand,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: bro explain yourself, Bro only.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: That the Celtics are so good, and I fully expected
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: that would be the team that they would meet in
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: the conference finals. And I'm not ready to say they're
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: going to beat them, too, but I am ready to
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: say that I think that they're at least the second
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: best team in the NBA's Eastern Conference. That's just what
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: I think, and it's just a feel thing. I don't
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: have any signs to back it up, and.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: I'll give you science. Hold on, you know the Celtics.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: The Celtics finished the season fourteen games ahead of the
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: second place Nicks.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Don't you think that was a mistake, clearly by Boston
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: to exhaust themselves winning all those games before the playoffs
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: peak too soon?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You know what, I would imagine they're so good. They
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: did it sometimes with one hand tie behind their back,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: so I'm sure they were mindful of the playoffs. Listen
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: this day and age, everybody is mindful about the playoffs.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: That's why they call it load management. They're managing their
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: load and getting ready for the postseason.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Hopefully we're on a basketball podcast. Still I want to
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: say that, Yeah, we get talking exactly, this is it.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: We're talking basket. This is the way you said that.
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Maybe right right, Moving on anyway, but let's talk about
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Joe lmb right. You know, really masterful smart performance by
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: him this year, right, you know, he got injured at
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: just the right time, right early February, late January, then
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: came back and now they're on this win streak. Do
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: you think maybe next year he should get injured and
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe November or October, so he's even more
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: arrested for the playoffs.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Unfortunately, this has been his history, not even playing you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: close to seventy games, which would be I think a
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: career high for him. But this is who he is.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: And in fact, they even said to somebody the other
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: day with some knowledge unlike you, what can he do
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to preserve himself and you know, maybe keep himself from
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: getting injured? In the answer from this guy who pretty
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: much knows. What he's talking about is that Joel's going
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: to play like Joel needs to play to compete. That's
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: just who he is, and any injuries that result from it,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: we're just going to have to accept that's who he
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: is as a player.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: You know, this is why I can see now why
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: they kept you employed for so long. That was decent
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: analysis there. You understand you unguided them. We can find
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: some common ground. You're right, Joel's very good at knowing
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: when to get in here.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That just is very bally what your source just said.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, anyway, let's let's move on there. You know you're
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: also familiar with uh, Doc Rivers, all right? You know
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: you add back and forth with them. You know the
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Bucks they just totally suck now that Doc Rivers is
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: their coach.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: You would always call him Glenn Rivers, not Doc.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Was that your way of trying to tell people that
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: he was not licensed to coach basketball?
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Not not in the least. It was more of my
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: homage to the one and only doctor who will ever
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: be involved in the NBA to do something related to
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the Philadelphia seventy six ers. That would be the great
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Julia Survey. That's all that was and nothing else.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Doctor j R. J Way to get school, Doctor j
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: be coaching the Sixers?
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Now, I mean, you know what, I think he has
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: this much interest in coaching the sixers at this point.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: He's in the seventies.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Now, Okay, just throwing it out there. You don't have
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: to be so rude about Yeah, you never know that,
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: you never know? Yeah, yeah, but I don't think so.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I highly doubt it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Well, all right, in your basketball knowledge okay, which we
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: know is limited. Okay, hold on, by the way, talking
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: about limited knowledge, do you see what Bill Simmons just
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: did you know? He came out with this list of
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: top three most improved players and six is dot Tyrese
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Maxi not on it. The names he out on this
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: list were Kobe White, Denny Avdijah, and Isaiah Hartenstein. So
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: that leads to this question, have you heard of any
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: of these people?
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, it's Odia, second of all it's
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Heart and Stein, and third of all, you're giving Bill
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Simmons way too much credence. Who cares?
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: While we're on pronunciations, it's Asha Hole. Tell me how
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: to pronounce names. Yeah, come on the show, I'll pronounce
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: you show you talk like that, all right, keep talking?
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: What were you saying before you?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: I don't really care what Bill Simmons says. Sometimes people
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: do things for shock value. Listen, in this day and age,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: who knows what's going to come out of anybody's mouth
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: or be on or off of anybody's list, just so
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: they can create a little buzz and people will notice them.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Because listen, you guys are a testament. Anybody can have
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: a podcast.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: No, I know, I know what's going to come out
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: of your mouth, next load of crap? Taking a little
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: shot here.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: Look, okay, okay, you know we got a few things
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: we need to settle with you, because you know you
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: play by playwork during the year was you know, Okay,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: it was possible, I guess you know, but you did
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: have a few sayings that were a little odd.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: So can we just review those now and maybe you
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: can explain them.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: To us what they meant? Be my guest.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, first, you're fine. I can already tell you a
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: little touchy about this. You don't like feedback.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: This is called constructive criticism. You could have used this
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: during your career, all right.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: You know when a player made a two point that
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: changed the momentum of the game.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: What would you call that, Well, I would say a
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: big deuce or something like that.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Timely timely drops.
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: Using the phrase timely deuce kind of made viewers maybe
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: uncomfortable and also disgusted.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what. I would see some of that
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: on Twitter, and I would just think, don't people have
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: anything better to do than to think that? I actually
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: would mean that, but you know what, I don't let
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: them have a good time at my expense.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you don't know.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: I don't want to get personal here, but it does
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: beg the question have you ever had an untimely deuce?
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: Because you know, I was stuck in the I ninety
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: five traffic one time and it was terrible untimely deuce.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: You know, during the game, I try to time my deuces,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like ten thirty in the morning,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: after I've had my coffee. Boom.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Now we're getting news here. Now we're making headway too much. Look,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: here's another one.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: You used to say when a shorter player would go
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: under the basket, you would say he was quote amongst
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: the trees. Don't you think that's offensive in this day
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: and age and frankly highest to call a big person
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: a tree.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Listen. A lot of this stuff I just picked up
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: when I would listen to basketball players talking among themselves,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: or coaches among themselves, or you know, out of practice
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and hey, careful, you're gonna be playing among the trees.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: That kind of thing. So that's where some of that
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: stuff is.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Can't take accountability. See, that's the problem. This is what
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: you know, you didn't improve through the years. You had
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: trouble taking feedback. Okay, here's another one for you. Sometimes
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: when a player would make a big shot, you would say, yes,
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: don't you feel bad about stealing that from Marv Albot?
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Not at all, Not at all.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: It's a word. It's a word, but everybody can use
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: in your life. You know what. I was good with
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: it as far as I know. Marv does not have
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: a copyright on Yes.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: No, but you could have been like bingo, bingo, there
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: go right, bringo. Yeah, you could have been like the
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: bingal Yeah.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Right, Like my friends say, no, good idea should go
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: on stolen and I stole yes and no.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: See, we got to see any This is called investigative journalism.
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: We do.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You'll see this on the front page of Philly dot
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: right here, there's another one for you. This one I
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: never understood when a player shot a three point on
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: sometimes you'd say, thinking three, How the hell did you
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: know what the player was thinking?
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Because he was beyond the arc and he you know,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: he kind of looks like he's getting ready to, as
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: they say, put it in the shooting pocket and begin
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: the shooting motion. Might not because he was situated by
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a defender. So I'm saying he's thinking three. It's an alliteration.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: What it's an alliteration?
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: What?
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Saying we can't ready again? And look it up.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I'll wait here, I'll look up your home address. Pro
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: see you later.
