• 0:32
  Speaker 4: Apology to Ike.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: He said last week during the second round of the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Masters that Rory had won it.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: It was over.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: He was running away with it and he wasn't exactly right,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: but he ended.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Up being right. So our apologies to Ike. And again.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I thought we'd start with heat and hornets the playing
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: game last night, but is He sends me a note
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: right before we get started here that the live golf
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: story is laugh out loud funny.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I knew I should have done that. I knew it
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: would take your attention away from me.
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: I knew three pm Eastern it's way too late for
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: you to go back and recap an NBA games so
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: you want to talk about Look, I just heard was
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: that ike on the update there? I just heard it,
• 1:13
  Speaker 5: looked it up and just it feels better than the
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: heat lost felt bad last night?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Does that make sense?
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: I'm giddy when I hear what all these guys who
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: went for all the money, the money might not be
• 1:29
  Speaker 5: there anymore and they might have to what come back
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: with their tail between their legs.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And say, oh, I'm sorry? Can I play in your
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: tournaments again?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're playing a tournament right now for Live Golf
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and Brooks captain. It makes you think, It makes you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: think what it Brooks now because he came back a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: couple of months ago.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: Yes, exactly?
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: What's that a trading?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: Yes? Gotead so.
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: John Rahm's reported deal with Live Golf was three hundred
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: to five hundred million. If I have to walk with
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: my tail tuck between my leg three hundred and five
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: hundred million dollars, isn't.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: The diamond and trusted tails, I'll gladly do it for
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: three to five hundred million dollars.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: I'm with Taylor on that, Yes.
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: But I'd like to know what that contract includes, Like
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: does he guaranteed all that money? If they cut the funding.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: What's John Roum gonna do. Just knock on the door
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: of the Saudi Public Fund people be like, he loo,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: I would like the rest of my money please.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Regardless, he has haunted for the remainder of Todd, like
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he'll go back to the PGA tour and he has
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: friends on the tour, but they'll all look at him
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: cross on because he decided to do that in the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: prime of his career. Just totally sold himself out. I mean,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. But we have to get to Heat and Hornets, Isy,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the floor is yours. We are sorry for your loss.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Taylor called it before anyone else did. Yeah, I'm not
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the Hornet.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: He said.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: The Hornets are going for it right now, and I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: think is he The only thing you can hope for
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: is that the Hornets and the Knicks meet up in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference finals and then Taylor's really in some
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: sort of conundrum.
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: I mean, how about that that's not gonna happen. That
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: is not going to happen, the Hornets not advancing. Man,
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: there was so much about that game, but Taylor put
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: this on the pole, if you will, Let's see if
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: I can word this properly. If LaMelo Ball were somehow
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: raised not by LeVar Ball, his father, but by Dell Curry,
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: would LaMelo Ball be the best player in the NBA.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: That's a book, not a pole.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, jeez, I'll say it again and listen.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: If LaMelo Ball were raised not by his father, LeVar,
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: but by Dell Curry, would he be the best player
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: in the NBA? Because Taylor Stu answer this question for me.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: What is LaMelo Ball's shortcoming? What is it that limits
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: him from being a great player?
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Shooting?
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: No, he shoots great.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: The fact that he's a ball, I mean, the.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Fact that he's the ball. That's probably the best answer.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: It's his personality. It's the way he approaches basketball, right.
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: He is an unseerious human being and a unserious basketball player.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: If he were to have been brought up with a
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: strict parent, who was you know, about the team, not
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: about selling yourself, right, he probably wouldn't be doing all
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: these antics.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: He probably wouldn't have well, this part I don't know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: but he probably wouldn't have a body for the tattoos.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: But he probably.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Wouldn't play the way that he plays with just no
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: respect for the seriousness of the game, and that's partially
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: why he does the stupid side sweep thing of bam
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: Adebio and injures him for the game. But everything about
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: him says, I'm playing this game in a playground, and
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: it's so annoying because he's so bleeping talented and he
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: plays this ridiculous style of game, and I'm just wondering, like,
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: if he just grew up in a different household, that's it,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: just you're up in a different household.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: It's very nurture versus nature debate.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: But would he be the best player in the game,
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: because physically there is absolutely nothing limiting him from being
• 5:10
  Speaker 7: the best scoring guard and probably the best overall point
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: guard in the game.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, it's an odd time to be
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: lashing out of the Ball family, to mister Ball, to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Lonzo Ball, to all the balls out there. Considering that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you lost the game, and you had a ninety seven
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: point five percent chance of winning the game, even with
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: everything that transpired, with about a minute thirty to go,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you should have won the game.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Is he wait till I got to the nipples. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: the thing about well, go ahead, Taylor.
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: Stull, I'm so glad that you mentioned the ESPN analytic metrics.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Yes, that is.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: My nominee for the most overrated metric in all of sports,
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: because in that game, somehow both teams had over a
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: ninety five percent chance to win, and neither team won
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: in that situation.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's cooed.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: They both had to overcome it. So to the point
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: where I'm like, maybe I'm just missing you know, maybe
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: the only time I noticed the ESPN analytics is the
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: five percent of games, and somehow I notice every time
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: it's in the five percent of games, and then I'm
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: thinking about it, I'm like, no, this kind of seems
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: like a trend where ESPN analytics can't really catch up
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: to the fact that a ten point lead isn't really.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: A tench point aid nothing.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: It was ninety seven point five percent when the Hornets
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: were up six with like one forty five left, or
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: the heat were up six with one forty five left.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: That's a two possession game. There's no way you're telling
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: me it's over ninety seven percent chance.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: Now, even when this is why it was so maddening
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: when the score, well, Amazon had technical difficulties.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: You can't do that in your play like stude.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: There's this whole debate in basketball right now about whether,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: because Mike Breen chimed in on it on this last
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: regular season game, whether it's okay whether people are happy
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: that the national broadcast have all of the playoffs because
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: it used to be at least a first round would
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: be done by your local teams. I like that, it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: because it just feels like your team's on a bigger
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: stage when it's the national broadcast.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: But you can't screw up like that in your first
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: chance Amazon, well is.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: He let me say this, and you're right, you can't
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: do that if you're Amazon. Although that's not going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: stop any of us from going to Amazon. I went
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: there today. I had to buy something, So I mean,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that's that's just a deal. It was a terrible, terrible job.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: But Joe Buck joined me and Taylor out in Lake
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Tahoe and he actually talked about this, and he's the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: guy doing the national games where he doesn't like that
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the local cities, the markets don't get the local play
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: by play guy for the opening rounds of the playoffs.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: He doesn't like it. Joe Buck doesn't like it. That's crazy.
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So again, as somebody like. My opinion is, if
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: you've been listening to your local people all year long
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: and you're a real fan, I'm not going to bother
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: you that much. I think you know, you get a
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: different perspective from the national grip. It feels like you're
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: on a bigger stage, et cetera. So it doesn't bother
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: me too much. But you can't have technical difficulty.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: There's a lot of talk today whether or not LaMelo
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: Ball should have been ejected from that game or not
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: the theory I subscribe to Stu.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, an eye for an eye.
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: The second bam out of bio was ruled out from
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: that game, even if you can't go back. Whatever the
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: pool reporter is saying is the reason why they weren't
• 8:17
  Speaker 6: able to review that. The second bamount of bio was
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: ruled out for that game. Somebody should have stopped in,
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: dropped the eye for an eye theory and said, bamount
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: of bio's out. Eye for an eye, LaMelo Ball, you
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: are now out for the game.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you have like a little a fluff what do
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: you call those?
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: It this little like a corn cornhole bag, but it's
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: got a picture of an eye on it, and you
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: throw it out onto the floor, and it's just like, oh,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: we have an eye for an eye claim, you gotta
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: take somebody out.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Taylor.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: I'm so glad you brought that up because I tried
• 8:45
  Speaker 5: to start off with the you know, the Lamello ball
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: stuff and just because it is it is crazy frustrating
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: to me that all it is is a personality thing
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: that would make this guy.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Get an odd time to be attacking the balls. But anyway,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: keep going.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: It's not an all time odd time.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: He took out Bam out of Bio on a BS play.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: It's a perfect time to take out the balls. But
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: this is my frustration with this, okay, And you touched
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: on it, Taylor. There was a pull reporter who asked
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: that Zariba the lead official, and he said another play
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: had already happened. Therefore you couldn't go back to there
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: because nothing was called there. Stu, Why does it make
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: sense that they can review it the next day, the
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: next day to see if LaMelo did anything wrong, but
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: you can't review it the next play. It's so ridiculous
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: that the only option that Eric Spolster had there was
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: to run out on the floor immediately and get a
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: technical foul. So that play could stop and then he
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: could point to there and say, now you have to
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: review that. That is so ridiculous that you can review
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: it the next day, but you can't during the next
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: time out say that was an egregious flagrant foul. Ejected like,
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: I don't The NBA needs to fix that to make
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: it make sense, because if you again, if you can
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: review it the next day, you should be able to
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: review it the next play. I think Carl Douglas would
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: like that because it rhymes. There's no way that they
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: shouldn't be able to review that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: It's senseless.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Izy, did you ever think that you would hear this
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: sentence come out of any announcer's mouth. Kobe White is
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: from a different planet.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: He kind of looks like he came from a different planet.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: His face is a little hilarious like that that dude
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: was so sick and tired of losing to the heat.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: He is so sick.
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: It was so sick and tired of his season ending
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: to the heat at this exact same time of year
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: that he's like, I'm just going to take everything.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: It's so funny that I text this to Taylor.
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: What actually got Kobe White going in this game was
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: a banked in three pointer that obviously he didn't call.
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: And I want to say it was almost the very
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: next play, maybe a play after that, Pella Larson just
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: slips on a wet spot and gives the ball up,
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: and then LaMelo gives it to Kobe for a wide
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: open three. Those are two accidents that happened, but they
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: got him going and then he took that last shot
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: to take this game in overtime. It was a great,
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: like feel good performance for Kobe White. But yeah, it's
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: it's a little frustrating that LaMelo was in there at all.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Stu.
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: I know this isn't a mount Rushmore Monday, but I
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: think you can make the argument today that when it
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: comes to playing games, Kobe White is on the mount
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: Rushmore of playing games.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: The Mitchell's on there too.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Yes, we have a mister Game seven in hockey. He's
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: mister playing game. I mean he is.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: That's where Kobe White is at his best.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So you have a mount Rushmore of guys a playing
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: game heroes teller because I can't well, I would think,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: who is the guy who hit the big shot before
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: before Kobe hit his the Brandon Miller. He would be
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: on the team and he had a big three is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: he could get that game to within reach for.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: The and not be the way he played. He was
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: so bad in the first half. He just kept fouling.
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: He had terrible offensive foul for the third foul to
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: get him out of the game.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: That guy was not ready. The nipple was not ready.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: It was not prepared.
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: You saw how scared he seemed to look every time
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: they put the camera on him. It was just not
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: a great and so it wasn't a great shooting performance
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: except for three guys on that team. Three guys hit
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: five three pointers and that was That was a huge difference.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: But LaMelo Ball shouldn't have been in that game, and
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: it's you know, if that official can get reprimanded afterward,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: it Lamello Ball could potentially, I don't think it's gonna happen,
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: but could potentially get suspended for the next play in game,
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: which how is that going to help the Miami Heat.
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: If all of that could happen, then that referee should
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: be publicly reprimanded and should be suspended as well, because
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: there's still frames of him staring right at the play
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: and not calling anything. Although I do want to take
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: credit because I told Taylor is America's team, the Hornets,
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: the Heat were going to be playing against the referees
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: And there you go.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: He's a homer.
• 12:49
  Speaker 8: I mean.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: Started.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: He should have resorted to the thuggery is what they
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: should have done. Listen, this is all I'll say. We'll
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: take a quick time out, we'll take some phone calls.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Eight of its ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: ninety nine on Fox. I understand what it is you're saying.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I understand why you would be frustrated. I know that
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: Ball committed the foul on Bam. I know it's frustrating
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: to lose a guy that could score eighty three points
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: on any given night if the coach leaves them in
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: too long. I get all of that, but I don't
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: want my best players not playing in games that have stakes.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: Attached to it. Okay, And so you could.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Throw out LaMelo Ball all you want. I'm glad they
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: left him in. He hit the game winner, He made
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: the game exciting. He himself is exciting because you never
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: know what's coming next with him on the court or
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: off the court.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care how exciting you are. You can't
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: cheat you can't take out the other team's best player.

• 15:28
  Speaker 9: favorite days of the year.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: Text day, right, Well, that's that's the ugly part of
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the day, I guess.
• 15:34
  Speaker 9: But Larry Dobie was the second African American player to
• 15:38
  Speaker 9: be playing in Major.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: League baseball after Jackie Robinson.
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: Two months afterward, and I don't feel like he gets
• 15:44
  Speaker 9: any credit.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: So Major League Baseball, do me a favor. Give some
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: flowers of Larry Adobie. Do we need like a Larry
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Adobe Day? Adobe Day sounds fun? I mean, that'd be fun.
• 15:54
  Speaker 9: I'd be cool with that because he was the first
• 15:55
  Speaker 9: guy in the America, first African American, the American league.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: So that could justification college. And hey, yeah, I like it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: That's an excellent one. Board A Ricardo, Seriously, I agree with.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: You, meaning, but I these do me a favors.

• 16:12
  Speaker 10: Everybody who hosts a national radio show or a national
• 16:16
  Speaker 10: sports podcast or television show, do me a favor if
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: you spend all of the NBA regular season telling us
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: how unwatchable it is and how nobody cares about it.
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: The players don't care, why should we care? Don't do
• 16:31
  Speaker 10: these deep dive takes about the NBA playoffs and who's
• 16:34
  Speaker 10: gonna win the series? And you have any credibility?
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: What do you think about that? Is he's playing bo
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: shives and they can't do that. I love it.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: I mean, you can't complain about the league and then
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: just hop in in the postseason and be like, oh,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: this is awesome and five that you can't have both ways.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: I'm with you, Jason, you can and I have for
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: twenty years now. So I mean, I don't know what
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: the time you're talking about it? Right?
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: How about you make the regular season more interesting and
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I'll jump in early.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: It's not so I jump in during the playoffs. How
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: about that?
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: In your defense? Do you also don't really watch too
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: much of the playoffs either, so you know.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Listen, I was glued to the last night's game. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: saw that Kobe White three to take it to overtime.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I saw Tyler Herro choke down the stretch, and I'm
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: not certain Tyler Herrow was happy to hear his coach
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: say that Bams the best player on the team.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: He choked, he was bad. How I sending over Todd?
• 17:22
  Speaker 6: How I knew Jason wasn't talking about Steve Gotts is
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: he said, if you care about your credibility, And if
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: there's one thing I know about Gotts, yeah he does
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: not care about his credibility. He's just gonna say whatever's
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: on his mind.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: You never have, never will. Thank you, Teller.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I appreciate it and I'm sorry to eat p Jason.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Let's go to update anchor Ike Well. I also apologized
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: too earlier today because he told us Rory was going
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to win the Masters.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: We laughed at him.
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: Go ahead, Ike, do me a favor it.
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: People around sports media, make last night the last time
• 17:54
  Speaker 11: that a live streamed sports broadcast encounters technical difficulties during
• 18:00
  Speaker 11: crunch time. This one day might apply to the super Bowl.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: There's been a few of these, and they've been bigger
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: than last night. Last night was only two minutes, and
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: it was a play in game and you didn't miss
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: any like lead change or anything like that. But it's
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: annoying and it just it's terrible debut postseason for Amazon.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: I'd rather what happened last night than what happened at
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: the Masters, where I'm just seeing everyone and they're all
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: confused because no one knows where the golf ball is
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: on the eighteenth hole. Just black out, Okay, come back

• 19:14
  Speaker 3: You don't even really need to zoom in.
• 19:16

  Speaker 8: my favorite sport, all time favorite sport, Avid MMA fan.
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: I did judo in college and then started understanding the
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: mechanics of it, and then thirty years of watching from
• 22:37
  Speaker 8: early even before UFC one, you know, watching MMA, you know.
• 22:43
  Speaker 14: From the beginning from King of the Cage too, and
• 22:45
  Speaker 14: then following through Pride, following through everything and watching the
• 22:50
  Speaker 14: empire that you know, Dana and everybody built with UFC
• 22:54
  Speaker 14: and Rogan, which is such an integral.
• 22:56
  Speaker 8: Part of you know, engaging a fan and explaining what's
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: happening and what's going on.
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: So it's my favorite sport. I'm a huge patriot. I
• 23:06
  Speaker 13: love this country. I love all the people.
• 23:09
  Speaker 8: We have an incredible facility we built here in Georgia
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: called Campus Southern Ground. We do thirty four weeks of
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: sleep away programs for our veterans there my alignment. Every
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: night will we play, we have soldiers come up on
• 23:21
  Speaker 8: stage and do a salute during Chicken Fried. This is
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: this is a chance to honor America and the service
• 23:27
  Speaker 8: people to be able to be there and to be
• 23:29
  Speaker 8: able to be part of the UFC all in one
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: thing together for our Bosingtonians. So I am super pumped
• 23:35
  Speaker 8: to be a part of it. And I told Dane,
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: I'll do whatever you need and whatever you want. However,
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: and so we're playing to show. They're gonna do the
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: weigh ends. They've got the incredible stage set up. I've
• 23:45
  Speaker 8: seen the renderings of it. And then we're gonna play
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: and then the next day we're gonna do the anthem
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: you know live and this this card is huge. I
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: think it's going to be streamed almost a billion homes internationally.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: It's a great flex.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: There's just being able to text Dana and say, hey,
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: could I be a part of this.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: That's impressive there.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: But you said you had such a long history of
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: fandom with the UFC. Just wondering who some of your
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: favorites were in the past, and maybe some of your
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: favorites currently still fighting what.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Era I mean, well, I mean you.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: Can go back to one UFC one, So whatever era
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: you decide or your favorites on conversation, the.
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: First fight that I remember was probably keep Patney against
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: Emmanuel Yarborough and it was like two twenty five pound
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: like kin po karate guy against the six hundred pounds
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: Suma wrestlers. And this was back when it was mainly
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: single discipline, so you know, they were just bringing you
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: bring your best, you know, representative of martial arts to
• 24:41
  Speaker 8: the game.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: That was wild times.
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: From that to watching all the you know, the Chemo
• 24:48
  Speaker 8: and and oys, Tracy and Dude early earlier days like that,
• 24:54
  Speaker 8: from guys like you know Dan, Dan Severn and.
• 25:01
  Speaker 13: I've watched it all. I've seen it all. I've followed
• 25:03
  Speaker 13: it throughout eras you know, I mean watching some of
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: the great champions. I always love seeing the champion that
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: can hold down a.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: Rain you know, multi year ragin, which is unpredictable in
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: the sport as it is.
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: You know, from from Saint Pierre to Anderson.
• 25:17
  Speaker 8: Silva's probably in my mind one of the greatest champions
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: ever holding it down for seven years, you know, to
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: people like Matt Views, which is just the strength of
• 25:27
  Speaker 8: that dude super early on coming in.
• 25:30
  Speaker 13: And then guys like Carl Parisians early on was like
• 25:33
  Speaker 13: a you know, the first real Jodica that was.
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: Really throwing people on their heads, you know, using that discipline,
• 25:40
  Speaker 8: you know. I mean there's so many eras of it too,
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: you know, to Chuck with Dell, to Randy Couture too.
• 25:48
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: I just think about the eras and the people, the
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: personalities that it had like coming along the way. But
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: I was there from the beginning, watching the evolution of
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: the athletes, watching the evolution of everyone training, all the
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: watching the UFC grow and form and continue to evolve,
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: but keep everything really pious and true.
• 26:08
  Speaker 13: They did such a masterful job of keeping the quality
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: of the event.
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: And then when other network started trying to compete and
• 26:16
  Speaker 8: bring things in and you see their commentators and you
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: see the way they talk about it or whatever, it
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: just reminded you of the bar in the UFC.
• 26:22
  Speaker 13: It said, it was so hard to even get close
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: to that.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: So you know, current fighters, I mean, man, there's something
• 26:30
  Speaker 8: I mean days he's one of my favorite all time
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: explosive the way that he gets in I mean, he
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: throws upper guts. You don't even see him until they
• 26:38
  Speaker 8: hit people and so choked. He's gonna be fighting. Bo
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: Nichol is one of my new favorite fighters. Getting to
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: see Boat fight on this car. You know, a lot
• 26:47
  Speaker 8: of the dominance of the incredible wrestlers, the people that
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: come out of wrestling world coming into UFC IS is
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: depressing to watch. I'm really excited to watch Bo Nickel,
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: excited to see Seanmalley fight. There's I mean, I love
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: it all. I watch every early prelm. I watched all
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: the free lambs. If I go from then, I'm sitting there.
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: I'm there early.
• 27:08
  Speaker 13: I watch every single fight because I know there's people
• 27:10
  Speaker 13: up and coming.
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: I haven't seen fight before, watching Peico fight in this
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: last I was there in Miami this last Saturday. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: was there watching some of the I mean, there's some
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: of the memorial fights that that hook It and Blade
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: fight is one I will never forget. That's like one
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: of the best ones that I've ever seen live. That'd
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: be such a character and personality, and I think that
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: kind of thing is is is going.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: To carry a lot away.
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: I feel like, honestly, a star was born that night
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: with him, and I just I love the evolution.
• 27:41

• 28:00
  Speaker 6: with the Sunday Night song because yeah, well, first off
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: a banger too. I appreciate the fact that NBC is
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: dressing it up and making it feel like it's just
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: as big as Sunday Night Football. My question for you
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: as a Braves fan, what's your mount rushmore of your
• 28:17
  Speaker 6: Braves favorite players, not the best players, but your favorite players.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: That is a great question.
• 28:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, Al Murphy as a kid was one of my
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: favorites all time. That was back in like Dale Murphy,
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: Bob Horner days, like I remember being.
• 28:32
  Speaker 13: At a game where Bob Warner hit four home runs
• 28:34
  Speaker 13: in a game.
• 28:37
  Speaker 8: And then when when I was in high school, I
• 28:39
  Speaker 8: was a senior in high school when we had Glavin
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: and Maddox and Smolts and Avery and the domination in
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: the bullpen that we had that year, and it was
• 28:50
  Speaker 8: baby Justice and Terry Pendleton and all of the people
• 28:54
  Speaker 8: that I watched in different era, same thing as the
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: eras of it, right, I mean going back to you know,
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: Phil Nicro, going back to throwing the weirdest pitches ever thrown, Like.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: It's a it's a lifetime journey for.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: Me through through sports and then seeing them, you know,
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: they gave me a ring when when they won the
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: same and I'm an honorary I have to be a
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: Socks fan also just because of Fenway, like Fenway is
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: we owed all the records from Fenway Park for selling
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: it out.
• 29:27
  Speaker 13: That's my city.
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: Also after Atlanta, So I got a ring when Boston
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: won the World Series, and I got a ring when
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: Atlanta won the World Series. And so I'm just like
• 29:37
  Speaker 8: I pinched myself at all the things that we get
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: to do and get to participate in because of the music.
• 29:41
  Speaker 13: But I was a kid.
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: When I was fourteen years old, I rode my bike
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: five miles five days a week to work at a
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: baseball car shop and the guy couldn't pay me in money,
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: so we had to pay me in cards. So I've
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: been collecting cards and that was early days. Like that
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: was when Eric Davis and Don Matting and Roger Clemens,
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: and like, those memories are forever seared because because I'm
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: I've held their faces in my hands on baseball cards
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: for you know, a decade that.
• 30:13
  Speaker 13: Was back like Jose Canseco. Yeah, and then you got
• 30:16
  Speaker 13: like the fire eras, you.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: Got everything like going all the way through watching the
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: evolution of baseball the same way as kind of it's
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: kind of similar to UFC.
• 30:23
  Speaker 13: But I love I love the sport man. There's nothing
• 30:27
  Speaker 13: more American than than baseball.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: You have that damn Eric Davis Rookie card, don't you.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if any of the cards he paid you
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: in baseball cards did you save them?
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: Did any of them turn into something really valuable?
• 30:42
  Speaker 13: Eric Davis Rookie card.
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: My brother conned me out. He was five years older
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: than me, and I remember my granddad bought it for me.
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: Spent thirty bucks back then to buy me the Eric
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: Davis Rookey card. And he was bordering on the on
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: the Alzheimer's spectrum, my granddad, so I could take him
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: out and he would buy me cards. And my dad
• 30:59
  Speaker 8: be like, you spent one hundred what is this? And
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: then my brother was five years older than me and
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: conned me out of all my good ship back then.
• 31:07
  Speaker 8: But these days, you know, I'm able to get the
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: stuff that I that I want, and I've actually and
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: I played I played Magic.
• 31:13
  Speaker 13: Like the card game. I played that when I was
• 31:15
  Speaker 13: in high school. I made a living off of playing
• 31:17
  Speaker 13: cards in high school. And I was balling in high
• 31:19
  Speaker 13: school making money playing that game. So that's translated into
• 31:22
  Speaker 13: now like getting into one Piece lately.
• 31:25
  Speaker 8: Like there's a new game i'll call One Piece that
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: is crushing investment wise, but I'm still a collector man.
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: And it's cool to be in this era right now
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: watching Otani doing what he's doing, I mean, the best
• 31:37
  Speaker 8: baseball player ever in the game. Being alive, like being
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: able to watch that happen and go down the best pitcher,
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: the best hitter. Like it's cool to be alive in
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: moments like that, when you see a generational you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: talent like that and then things coming through.
• 31:53
  Speaker 13: I mean, there's this isn't so many incredible players out there.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Speaking of cool moments to be alive, you probably had
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: some few pinch me moments in your career, like Chicken
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: Fried becoming such an anthem. How big of a deal
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: is it for you to have that song at the
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: beginning of Sunday Night Baseball and just you know, it's
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: got to be one of those moments in your career,
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: just like that's pretty darn cool.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, man, and Major League Baseball has been such a
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: great partner for us over the years, and we've played
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: all there. You know, a lot of the stadiums. I
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: love the baseball stadiums because they still feel intimate even
• 32:25
  Speaker 8: though it's a lot of people, and the sound is good,
• 32:27
  Speaker 8: the sounds coming kind of.
• 32:28
  Speaker 13: Out of home plate and out. I love that that
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: part of it.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: I pinched myself every time that I get to go
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: out on stage. I never take that for granted. I
• 32:38
  Speaker 8: was just a kid playing in bars and hustling and
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: playing six hours a night or six nights a week
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: for ten years, trying to just make.
• 32:44
  Speaker 13: It and let people know who I was.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: And then was able to be a people collector and
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: collect the right people to have around me to be
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: able to take it and to stay relevant.
• 32:53
  Speaker 13: And I got a lot of energy, and I put
• 32:55
  Speaker 13: a lot of hard work and discipline into my business,
• 32:57
  Speaker 13: into my shows, and into my family first. But it's
• 33:01
  Speaker 13: it's incredible to have.
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: The career that we've had and and to be able
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: to just keep going. You know, I want to be
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: among I want to be like spring Seeing or like Willie.
• 33:11
