  Speaker 1: Oh, what's going on? Welcome in here, happy early Wednesday
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: morning to you. Hope all is just grand, just grand's
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: grand evening on Tuesday night for these San Antonio Spurs
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: and one specifically, the alien Victor wembin Yama got it done.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the Spurs and beyond here in just
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: a second. For over forty years, ti Iraq has been
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: where they drive. Ship fast and free, backed by free
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: installation ti rack dot com. The way tire buying should be.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So the Alien Victor Wembinyama, he was ejected in week
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in week four, I'm already in football mode right now.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: You can tell the schedules getting released. We got week
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: one matchup, we get the Broncos the Chiefs Game four
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for Victor webbin Yama. So he was ejected toward the
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: beginning of the second quarter, right little less than nine
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: minutes to go in the second quarter, he threw an elbow.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Stupid thing to do, lost his cool. The young guy playoff, inexperienced,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and he just smacked nas Red right in the face.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: He got ejected for it. Spurs lost the game. Then
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you fast forward to Tuesday night, all of a sudden,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you've got Deer and Fox and Stefan Castle. They show
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: up as questionable and it's like, what's going on? Are
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they healthy? Are they gonna be good to go? Is
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this gonna be a huge thing that Wemby lost his cool?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Now the series is tied to two. What if the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Spurs kick a game? What if they're unhealthy? All these thoughts,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and then the Spurs win by twenty nine points. He
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: just smacked them around. Wemby was tremendous, twenty seven points,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: efficiently nine for sixteen from the field, seventeen rebounds. He
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: went for twenty seven in seventeen. He scored twenty one
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: points in the first half. Wenby was sensational. The Timberwolves
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: were ice cold shooting the ball, only shot thirty nine
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: percent from the field, including twenty seven percent from three.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: They were terrible. They couldn't buy one, couldn't buy one.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Now the series shifts back to Minnesota for Game six.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: That'll be on Thursday, and that's a do or die
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: for the Timberwolves, and I just we're on the cusp.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: We are a whisker away. We are one Spurs win
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: away from what many people believe would be the true
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: NBA Finals matchup. Now, maybe you pause a little bit
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with that because the Knicks have been playing such good basketball.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But the winner of Thunder Spurs, if, if that is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the Western Conference Finals matchup, A lot would say, whoever
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: wins that series is gonna go on to win the finals.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: They're gonna win a championship. I'll tell you what, I
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: don't think that either team gets a lot of love
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: in terms of playing entertaining basketball right where we're always
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: just hung up on, Hey, who's gonna win, Who's gonna
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: win the title? Who's who are you entertained by? Are
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you entertained by the Thunder? And let me speak out
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of both sides of my mouth. Okay, because I've told
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you before while filling in for Big Ben Meller, I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: love SGA's game because he's very efficient, he gets to
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the free throw line, he does things that help you win. Okay,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I think that his game should be celebrated more than
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: dist But you got a lot of people that are like, oh,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the foul baiting. I just I can't, I can't do
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: it with that guy. He's highly effective at what he does.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: He's a great player. So I'm gonna speak out of
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: both sides of my mouth. While I'm all about being effective,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Just find a way to win. You are not there
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to entertain crowds. You're not there to entertain the masses.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: You are there to win. You are there to get
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a job done and to win. So if I put
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that to the side, that's what I truly believe, that's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: what I absolutely buy into. It's like, well, if you
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: just put all of that to the side, who are
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you simply entertained by? And what I find interesting is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: if you look at OKAC just themselves, and you look
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at the Spurs just themselves, I think a lot of
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: basketball fans would honestly tell you, I'm more entertained by
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: other teams and other styles of basketball. I bet they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: would say that more times than not. I bet they
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: would say that. They would certainly say that about okay
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: See because okay See is starting to have more sustained success,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: right and you know what comes with that, People get
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: tired of it, people still resenting it. It's kind of
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: like a Chiefs thing really if you think about it,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: where you know the Chiefs. They stockpiled super Bowls. They're
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: winning all these games. They were going for a three peat, unprecedented,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: and then they got punched in the mouth by the Eagles.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: But they were on the doorstep of winning a Super
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl for a third straight year, something that had never
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: been done before. And at that time it was just like, Oh,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: my gosh, the Chiefs. I hate them. They're so annoying.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: They get all the calls. Doesn't it sound like that
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: with the thunder It sounds like the same thing, like, Ah,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I'm so tired of this team, like freaking SGA with
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the whistle and the foul baiting. Oh I can't do it.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It sounds very Chiefs like. And I would argue that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs play a pretty entertaining style of football when
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you have Mahomes as your quarterback, as creative as it gets, right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So they're fun to watch. You can hate them all
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you want, but you'd be lying if you said they
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: weren't entertaining. They weren't entertaining last season because they were atrocious,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: but typically they're pretty entertaining. With Okase, I don't know
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that you would say that. It depends. It depends on
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: what does it for you, what's entertaining to you. What's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: entertaining to me is maybe you have a player like
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Anthony Edwards who's a high flyer, uber competitive, you know,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: loves to, loves to, I don't know, just show people up.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: And I mean that as a compliment right where he
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: doesn't shy away from anything. He was hitting a three
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and wapping up Mitch Johnson, who's the head coach of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the Spurs. You know what I mean. He's just a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: natural competitor. He's a natural trash talker. I love his edge.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I love how he's a high flyer. He's not a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: high flyer right now because he's injured. He's got two
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: knee injuries that he's gutting his way through. But he's
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: still crazy athletic even though he's limited with these injuries.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: He's a fun watch. So entertaining to me is you
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: have a superstar who's a high flyer. You play maybe
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: an up tempo style of basketball. Maybe you're unpredictable. You know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of things. There are a lot
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of ingredients that lead to entertainment. And the Thunder are
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: just incredibly efficient. They're great at turning you over. They
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: play really good defense. Some people that's entertaining to them.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: They love a good defensive oriented team. And I wouldn't
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: call you wrong. It's just personal preferences. Hey, I might
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: like Sherbet ice cream, you might hate it. I might
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: love the chocolate cream pie dessert at Bevets in Vegas.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's the best thing on the face of
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the earth. You might think I'm crazy. He might like
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: something else. It's just preference, right, There's no right or
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: wrong answer. But I think that a lot of fans
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: would say, yeah, the Thunder. They're very impressed of. They're effective,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: they're winning big. But I'm just not really entertained by
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: SGA hitting elbow jumpers and drawing files. Chet Holmgren being,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you know, good one game, inconsistent the next game. You know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Hartenstein grabbing rebounds, the Glue guys doing what they do.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I can't say I'm jumping out of my chair when
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Casein Wallace hits a three right like the other Jalen
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Williams moves the ball and sets up an open shot, don't.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think you're just captivated by them. And I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: would say, outside of Wemby, I think the same thing
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is true with the Spurs. They're highly effective. They're great
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: at what they do. They're really a machine with a
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: bunch of young guys mostly, which is really impressive that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: they are that good this early, this quickly. But outside
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: of Wemby, who is just he's like, uh, you know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you go to the carnival and you're like step right
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: up and see the one eyed man or what You're like, Holy,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like this before. That's what Wemby is.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: He is an alien. He's a seven foot four guy
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: who had twelve twelve blocks in one game in the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: playoffs he had a triple double. One of the categories
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was blocks. Who else is doing that? So elite rim protection,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year gonna be on the short
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: list of MVP. Can handle it, can shoot it, he
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: can do everything. No one has been able to do
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: it the way he's done it at that size, seven
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: to four, rail thin like, he's just different and he
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: jumps off the screen at you. So with Wemby, he's
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: entertaining the Spurs collectively again, very highly effective. They're almost
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: like the Spider Man meme, right, the Spurs and Okase
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: effective at what they do. Efficient, they're winning big, but
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: it's not captivating. It's kind of like money Mayweather, you know,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: being ahead on points and just throttling it down and
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: coasting to a win, where the crowd is like, we
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: want to knockout. We don't want this dancing business. We
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: want knockouts. Right, That's how I feel most people watch
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: OKAC in San Antonio. So the interesting twist is, even
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: though you might not be fascinated with them team wise
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: from an entertainment perspective, when they get together, if that's
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: the matchup at the Western Conference Finals, I think it's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be awesome. I think it's gonna be two heavyweights
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: slugging it out and just the rivalry in the making. Now,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: that could be a lot of fun. If we get
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: a close series, you know, we get some twists, some turns,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: we get a pivotal game five series is tied to too,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that could be a lot of fun. So I think
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that they're good for each other. I think that even
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: though you might not be captivated by their styles individually
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: as teams, right, you might be captivated by them going
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: up against each other on the same court. We're just
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: one went away from that happening, and I'd be all
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: for it. I'd be totally for that, But no, I
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have. I would have In terms of interesting, exciting
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: styles of play, I would go Nix number one. Jalen
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Brunson is you know, he's just fun to watch. Man creative,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: an undersized guy somehow creates enough space to get a
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: shot off every time. It's really impressive. And the way
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the Knicks are just executing right now. Karl Anthony Towns facilitator.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: You know Ognnobi was playing great before his hamstring issue.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Josh Hart is a grinder. You know, they're just fun
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to watch. Deuce McBride shoots three. Do you know the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: crowd amplifies everything either at home or on the road. Now,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: they're crazy in a good way. The Knicks are the
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: best watch in basketball right now. I would have the
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Calves up there because their spider Mitchell is a true superstar,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: super creative, fun to watch, can attack the rim, shoot
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it from distance. He's got everything offensively, and you get
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: the unpredictability with the beard. Is he gonna be good
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: this game or freaking terrible? Like? Are the Calves gonna
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: crash and burn again? Are they finally gonna get over this?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Hurdle and get to the conference finals. I think the
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Calves are a fun watch. I think the Timberwolves are
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a fun watch. They got a bunch of dogs on
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that team, man, and I love to see them compete.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: And like I said, I love ant and is a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: great competitor, high flyer. I think they're an entertaining watch.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Next on the list, I'd probably put the Spurs. I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: put the Spurs just because of Wemby and he's just
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: he's as unique as it gets. And I'd put the
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: thunder under them, you know. So, I'm all about just
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: get the job done. Whether it's a sexy brand of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: basketball or it's boring, just get the job done. You're
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: not in the business of getting oohs and ah's. You're
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: in the business of winning games and stacking championships. That's
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: what you're in the business of. But along with that,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: just as a fan, if you're looking at it from
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: an entertainment style or an entertainment point of view, I
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: think that I think okay see leaves something to be desired,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and I think outside of Wemby, the Spurs leave something
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to be desired. But it's funny that it should be
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: a great lesson right, where sometimes being highly effective isn't
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: that sexy. There are a lot of teams in the NFL.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Use the NFL for an example. There are a lot
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: of teams that do the little things right and they're
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: right there making deep runs in the playoffs. Maybe they're
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: special in ways, maybe they're not even dynamic in ways,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: but they're doing a lot of little things right. I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: always say a third and three conversion isn't going to
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: lead Sports Center, but that could be the difference between
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: winning and losing, right, and the good teams find a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: way to convert in those situations. And that's what I
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: think the thunder have been able to do. That's what
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: I think the Spurs have been able to do so
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: far in the playoffs. It might not be outside of Wemby,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: again because he's in a class of his own, but
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: outside of Wemby, the Spurs are moving the chains on
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: third and three. And I mean that as a compliment. Right,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: it's getting Harrison Barnes open for an elbow jumper. It's uh,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: you know, moving the bar, moving the ball and finding
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Devin Vesel a good look from three that he cans.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: You know, It's like it's doing those things, right, And
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: that's that's what it takes to win titles. That's what
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it takes to make deep runs in the playoffs, and
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: both the Thunder and the Spurs are doing a great
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: job of that. All right. Eight seven seven ninety nine

• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I like that. Cinnamon twisties. Yeah, cinnamon twisties was so good.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I'll never forget when Coop set me straight. I used
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to say Reese's Pieces. He almost fell on the floor
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: laughing at me, and I'm like, what, what's wrong? Pieces?
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Hit me with that, and I'm like you kind of,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you say it? He's like, Reese's Pieces.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: You don't say pieces, you say pieces. I'm like, you
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: know what, You're right. I had no idea. I was
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: saying it wrong the whole time.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: Anything else you say weird, like.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sure there, I'm sure there is. I used to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: say my college roommate, uh, one of my best friends.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: I was roommates with him for two years, This guy
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: named Cheese. Right, there's a nickname, but uh. He pointed
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: it out where I say warm and I'm like, how
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: do you say it? And he's like warm, ye, warm,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: keep it and I'm like, yeah, you're right. I didn't
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: even realize I said it like that. So I say sentence, well,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: I would say it right now, but you know, I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: realized the errors of my way, so I'd be like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: it's kind of warm outside.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I'd say it like that now, but when I was younger,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I would totally say warm. It's like probably from my dad.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: My dad says some words really weird. He'll say, I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: don't know. If he says honorary, he'll be like honorey
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: or an orange, He's I don't know where it's weird.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: He's got a kind of a weird accent with certain words.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I picked it up from him, But I'd
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: be like, man, it's warm outside, or you know, I
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I never thought about how I was
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: saying certain words.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Ben has a lot of these. But but but we've
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: been getting.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: A lot about lately. You know what I've heard from Ben.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I'll hear him on some promos. He'll say milk. Oh,

  Speaker 1: When you go to Vegas, to go to Vegas, the
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Wonderful Wizard.

  Speaker 4: I want to watch it on the sphere.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: The Spear. You want to go to the spear or
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: the sphere, the sphere, the spear. You know what Cowherd does.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: The one thing cow heard, he says always instead of always.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Too that she says timberwolfs.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah she does. You're totally right about that. She does
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: say that I love Manzy Monzi is the best, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: she the other one from her. She'll say the Saint
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Louis Cardinalles. She like totally enunciates the whole thing. Cardinals.
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: She'll say that every time too.
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm lazy with that. Cardinals.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Cardinals. Yeah, the Cardinals pulled it out like the Cardinals. Yeah, Cardinals.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch that for now. Yeah, she enunciates that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: one right there. Yeah, but Cowherd and he loves to
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: lean on always. I noticed that everything always always. I
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: was dating a girl a long time ago, and she
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: pointed out that Phil Simms when he was doing color
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: commentary for the NFL, he's a color guy. He he
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: would always say, because that's her nickname for Phil Simms.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: He'd be like, because I never would have noticed that,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: But he'd be like, yeah, you know they they ran
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: it on third and three because their whole line is
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: just so powerful and whatever. Blah blah blah. But yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: he would say, because that's how she knew him. Let
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: me get out to the phones. Eight seven, seven ninety
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: nine on Fox. I got a lot to do. Roberto
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: texted me back, right, I was texting him myani take
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: to see if he thought I was on point or
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you know, being a hater. So I'll let you know
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: what he wrote me. I also have some award winning
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: sound here. But we get to the militia. Militia's on hold.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We get right to them, so we're gonna hear a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: rapid fire from a few of the members over here.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: John is in Boston. The Bengals, you know, the Bengals
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: play in one of their games, was announced on Tuesday,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: Week nine in Madrid taking on the Falcons, and I
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: basically cliffs notes version said, Ah, the Bengals, man, they're
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a poor man's Steelers, that's what they are. They accomplish
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: less than Pittsburgh. We clown Pittsburgh for being ten and seven,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: nine and eight, getting to the playoffs, not going anywhere.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: The Bengals are a lesser version of the Steelers. That's
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: where they've been the last three years. Right, they don't
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: even get to the playoffs. John, you're over in Boston, man,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: what do you have on your mind here?
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: Same thing about the Bengals, But I'm going to be
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: on the opposite side going into this year. The thing is,
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: since twenty sixteen, the Bengals have five playoff wins. The
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: steel just have none. So the Bengals did that that
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: two year run where they came very close to winning
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: a Super Bowl and going back to the Super Bowl.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: I think the defense is going to be so much
• 24:08
  Speaker 7: better this year. Not a really high bar to jump
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: from what they were a year ago.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Didn't the Steelers just beat the Texans?
• 24:17
  Speaker 7: No, Texans beat the Steelers in that awful Monday night.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, you're right I should because I was
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: gambling on the running backs. I should know that, right,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I had a brain freeze over there. But yeah, I
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: profited off of that. That was actually a good result
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: for yours. True.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: You know what happens, Brian. I like to get involved
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: a little bit of gambling, more when futures than anything.
• 24:38
  Speaker 7: But sometimes when we do that, we forget what the
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: result of the game was. I immerse in so many
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: other things, like you knows so bad?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, if you were like, hey, did wood he
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Marx hit his rushing prop that game against the Steerers.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he did. He totally did you know?
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's wow, that's pretty bad, man. That's I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: gotta change that. Yeah, that's not good.
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: It was like Drake Mays passed two hundred and forty
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: five yards passing in the Super Bowl. I'm like, how
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: do you do that? Well? They proved for like two
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: or five in the fourth quarter.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: Wasn't crazy? How crazy was that? Man? Yeah?
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: That was incredible. I mean it was like, well, how
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: did you almost throw up three hundred yards? He didn't
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: play well at all. But as far as the Bengals,
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: their defense was historically bad. Now, over the last two years,
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: they've lost seven games when scoring thirty more points, which
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: is ridiculous. The next team to lose the most games
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: when scoring thirty more points, the Ravens, have lost three.
• 25:30
  Speaker 7: So you can just see how bad that defense has been.
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: In Cincinnati, they gave up thirty nine points in five
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: hundred yards to the Jets, Like the Jets didn't do
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: that in a month for the most part. And I
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: think what the Bengals have done in the offseason. You
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: had Boye Mafe. You add Jonathan Allen, you trade for
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: Dexter Lawrench and really solidify that front. Brian Cook is
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: a really good safety to go along with Kyle Dugger.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: You hope that those second year players improved somewhat, and
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: then Cashers Howell probably the best pass rusher in the draft.
• 26:00
  Speaker 7: If your defense could get the top twelve, top fourteen.
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: Anytime they've had that with Joe Burrow at quarterback, they've
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: gone to the AFC Championship game. We know how good
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: their offenses. I'm really high on them this year. The
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: favorite team, but I'm very high on them.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll see how it goes. John. I appreciate you
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: checking in man Tho's good stuff, and I appreciate you
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: having a better memory than me of the Steelers in
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: the playoffs. Good Lord, that's not good and it just happened.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: We're just there in the playoffs. But yeah, in any event, yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: I just don't buy the Bengals, man. And this is look,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: things change in the NFL. Things don't always remain constant,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: and I could be falling into a trap here and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: being too misled by what's happened the last three years.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Instead of what's going to happen this year? Right Like
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that is there that does matter, That there is a
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: difference right there. And look, I don't buy the Bengals,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: not just because they've crashed and burned the last three years,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but because primarily I don't believe in the defense. I
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: think that trading for Dexter Lawrence is a good pickup.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Sexy Dexi is a good player, But I don't look
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: at this as this huge positive and a gain in
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: the offseason. Where Jonathan Allen is Okay, he's more of
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: a guy than like a difference maker at this point,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Sexy Dexi can do his thing. Boy a Mafe is whatever.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: You're taking a big step down in your pass rush
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: losing Trey Hendrickson and instead getting boy A Mafe. That's
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: not a plus, that's not a win. And so I
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: don't look at the defensive line as being all of
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: a sudden like look out, man, they're ready to cook.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: And like Brian cooks a guy. You know, Like again,
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: if you add enough guys like Jonathan Allen and Sexy Dexi,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: boy a Brian cook, Okay, Like if everybody pops, then
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: you're gonna make some progress. I get it, like, if
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: everybody is productive, you're going to take a step forward.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: But is everybody gonna be productive?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Same DB's they took a third round
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: guy from Washington. I just the Bengals defense is this.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: You have to cross your fingers, hope and pray with
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the football gods that a second rounder and the third
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: rounder are legit immediately, Like your chances of that happening
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: are not great. And the caller earlier, man I wrote
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: it down. Let's see, he's from Bama. I thought he
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: put it very well where it was chance chance in Bama.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Their offensive line still sucks. I don't care that they
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: have Jamar Chase and T Higgins, who are very good
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: wide receivers. Their old line is not consistent enough. Joe
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Burrow takes way too much punishment. He's been injury prone.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: They don't have a good running game. It starts up front,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: and I don't believe in their all line. So like,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I don't think Boye Mafi and brot Ian Cook are
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: enough to make that defense fantastic. And they're not gonna
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: do anything in terms of Joe Flacco or Joe Burrow
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: not being a pinata back there. So yeah, I just
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: don't buy him, man, I don't. I am. I just
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: don't think highly of them, And I think that we're
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: acting like the Bengals, like it's time to let the
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: super Bowl appearance go, you know what I mean? Like,
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: if they're a completely different version of what they were
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: at their best, why are we talking about them like
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: they're still in that phase. They haven't been close to
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: a super Bowl contender for years, so why are we
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: clinging onto the planets aligned? They had a season of
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: seasons and were a whisker away from possibly beating the
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Rams in the super Bowl. They've been so far removed
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: from that it's not even funny. They've missed the playoffs
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: the last three years. I just don't. I don't get
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the Bengals optimism. That's the ultimate team, Like, well, you
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: know what, I'll just be late to the party. If
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: somehow they put everything together, the planets aligned, Zach Taylor
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: figures out how to coach, I'll just be late to
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that party and be like, well, hey, they turned it around.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Didn't see it happening. I didn't think that defense was great,
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and I think their old line sucks. Right, I'll be
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: late to that party, man, but I still don't believe
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: in them. Let's get back out to the phones. Ray
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: is in Nashville. What's the check in? What's going on? Ray?

• 31:49
  Speaker 1: he's the executive director of the NFL Players Association, right,
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: NFL p A. He's the new guy. And he was
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: on with Cam Hayward, Cam Hayward of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: He's got a podcast, and so JC Tretder was on
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the podcast and he was talking about grass in the NFL,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: like we want grass fields. Okay, so bear with me
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: because you might be like, all right, I get it,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: players went grass or this is an interesting argument. So
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: there are a couple of layers to this. Where we've
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: got fifteen of thirty NFL stadiums, right, couple of teams
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: share stadiums in LA in you know, the New York area,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: But thirty of the fifteen of the thirty NFL stadiums
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: they have artificial turf for NFL games, right, and all
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: these players went grass. Give us grass and it's not
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: just an injury thing. Right, the injury numbers between grass
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: surfaces artificial turf, they're pretty comparable. But it's a wear
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: and tear thing. It's not an injury thing. It's a
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: wear and tear thing when you're hitting the ground repeatedly.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: An artificial turf is harder on your body. And so
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: these players will tell you, like man do when I
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: wake up after a game on grass way different than
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: when I wake up from a game on artificial turf.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: So J. C. Treader is on Cam Hayward's podcast, and
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: I like the examples that he's given right here, So
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: just listen to the story he tells at the end,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: kind of interesting stuff.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: I think what we want is good grass fields, and
• 33:24
  Speaker 9: we want good solid fields.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: You don't just want like pull.
• 33:27
  Speaker 9: Out the Muni golf course grass out on every field.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: You want high quality services.
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: I think one thing is understanding what our players care about,
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: and there is something there that the data hasn't been
• 33:37
  Speaker 9: able to spit back out of those which if you
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: ask every player we pulled seventeen hundred players, ninety two
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: percent they want grass over are there is something about
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: the feeling of being on grass. Your body feels different.
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: I think if you ask the coaches, just standing on
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: grass for standing on turf for three hours feels different.
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: There is something there that impacts the body. I know,
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: Like when I had niscous surgery early on in training
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: camp back to the first game, it's like every day
• 34:02
  Speaker 9: of rehab matter and there's one day it was raining,
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: hut and I went to the trainer, was like, hey,
• 34:05
  Speaker 9: what do we want to do out on turf? And
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: they're like, we'd rather you skip a day than run
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: on turf today, Like it's better for you just not
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: to do any rehabit day than go run on that.
• 34:13
  Speaker 9: And it's like, a, all right, it doesn't make me
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: feel on turf if.
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: That's if that's our stands, how crazy is that?
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Man?
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: And that's the interesting part, right when the NFL pushes
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: back and we're like, look at the injury numbers, it's
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: pretty comparable. Whether it's grass or artificial turf, the injuries
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: are pretty similar. The players are like, it just feels
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: totally different. Okay, Like he is trying to rehab a
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: meniscus and the training staff is like, just don't do
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: anything on artificial turf. Let's just not do anything. It's
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: probably gonna set you back, to be honest. It's like
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: it's pretty telling, is it. And so with the World
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: Cup coming to the States, you've got a number of
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: stadiums for NFL teams. They're gonna be using them for
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: the World Cup. The World Cup is played solely on grass,
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: and so they're bringing grass in to all these NFL
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: stadiums that typically don't have grass. Right, So the NFL
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: players are like, what the hell we want grass? You're
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: doing it for the World Cup, but not us. What's
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: going on here? It's gonna be at MetLife Stadium, Jets, Giants,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: At and T Field, Cowboys, Gillette Stadium, Patriots, Lumenfield, Seahawks
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: Energy Stadium, that's the Texans Sofi Stadium, you know, Rams, Chargers,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Stadium, Falcons. All of those surfaces use some
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: sort of artificial turf for NFL games, but for the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: World Cup matches they're bringing in grass. And NFL players
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: are like, why can't we have that for our games? Huh?
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: Why is it okay for soccer? It's not like we're poor,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: not like we're rent poorer. Something we got. It's a multi, multi,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: multi billion dollar business printing money in the NFL and
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: they can't get grass all over the place. Is crazy.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: It really is crazy.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: So that I mean it's a it's kind of a
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: per team type of situation though, right, yeah, because I'm
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: pretty sure the the Penners, the Walton Penner group that
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: owns the Broncos, they consistently replace the field over at
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Empower Field with you know, with real grass.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Other teams should do the same, but they're
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: like it's cheaper.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you got a bunch of cheap skates.
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: Like, uh, you know, I mean, like I'm su sure
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: the Bengals have real grass, but like, you know, that's
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: another cheap franchise.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah they don't. They've got some sort of turf. It's
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: not real grass. Yeah yeah, yeah, for I don't know
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: for how long, but they Yeah, it's definitely some sort
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: of artificial surface. It's weird, right, like some places in
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame. Notre Dame Stadium used to be natural grass
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: for a long time. It's I don't even know what
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: it is. It's some sort of artificial, synthetic kind of
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: blend the field turf. You hear that quite a bit,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: but it's it's not natural grass. So yeah, it's not
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: an injury thing, and I really didn't know that at first.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: It is not an injury thing. It's a wear and
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: tear thing. It's my body feels way better if I'm
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: getting tackled falling on grass instead of turf, man. But
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: that's what it is. So we'll see how long it takes.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: It's in the works to get more grass fields. I
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: just I can't believe it's taken this long. Man. It's
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: not like the NFL is just making a dollar ninety
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: five each season. They're printing money, billions of dollars every year.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. All right, we'll get to the militia coming up.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Also an interesting signing that I think Coop will be
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: a fan of. I'm guessing we'll find out right around
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: the corner. I'm probably though in for Big Ben Mallor

• 38:36
  Speaker 1: of the woodwork. Chris has hit me up on X.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: He just writes same, DB's do you watch games? I
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: always love that. That's great, Like.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Do you eat your watch games?
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Brian busted Lorena. I don't watch games. He found out.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: I'm a complete fraud. Right here, DJ Turner third best DBPFF.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Their O line was four fourteen or fifteen out of
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: thirty five. At high eleventh they are fourteen or fifteen.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I can't remember, but there are top half out of
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: thirty two. Nothing you've said is true at all. Oh interesting, Chris,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: So it's riddle me this, Chris. Does Joe Burrow seem
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: to get killed repeatedly?
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: He does if you just look at now. This is
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: going way back to his rookie season. He got his
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: leg mangled. He played ten games, right, he started ten games,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: so he missed seven. Then you look at twenty twenty
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: three hurt again, missus seven starts. Then last season hurt
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: again shockingly missed nine starts. That's way too much time,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: So spare me on the oh they're fourteenth or fifteenth
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: And dude, he gets killed all the time. He manages
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: to get like driven into ground because his old line
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: isn't good. This is the bottom line, man, and the
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: defense sucks. Okay, if you want to point out DJ
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: that's fine. Dax Hill has been a disappointment. I just
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: don't trust that defense at all. I don't think they're
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: making huge mammoth strides from what they were last season.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I don't. Sorry. If they are, I'll buy you a
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Hooda T shirt. How about that, and we'll we'll eat
