  Speaker 4: You're not gonna win ninety two like you did last week,
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: are you?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. Get to three? Yeah, that's all
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: it takes.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: Stay healthy and get to three.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Stay healthy, most important and get to three. That's it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: He's the game.
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: Gold on for check my Natures. Anal season, the second
• 1:04
  Speaker 6: of the year. The Apps have a three one league
• 1:08
  Speaker 6: with fifty four point nine.
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: Love that was three. That was their third goal of
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: the game. Good call there, Mosh you okay, all right,
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: he's good man, he's hey, Hey, he's sleepy, Hey, bro
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: you back off.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: They broke. Last night was an exciting night. I had
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to stay up. I watched everything last night.
• 1:31
  Speaker 7: So tonight, as Abs win the President's Trophy, I gotta
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: go home.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I do well.
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: The piles are on the entire way home. Watch the
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: piles winning double o t stuff. Then I finally crawl
• 1:48
  Speaker 7: into bed and I flicked the rocks on there an extras. Yeah,
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: m that did That's the only that's the only blemish
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: I think on on the whole night.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: That they had a chance to win several times. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they sure did. They.
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: I mean they couldn't get guys to cross in extras
• 2:08
  Speaker 7: and I'm like, oh man, and then Bogarts goes deep.
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: The other the other problem is I think the issue
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: because they went with that start your bullpen guy thing
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: and then they played Dolander in the in the second inning.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: I think King Tana was thrown on il last second
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: sort of thing, so that's a problem. And then Hunter
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Goodman took a pitch off the hand, tried to stay
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: in the game, then his finger was bleeding, and then
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: they took him out and he started chucking everything in
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: the in the dugout. So I don't know what the
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: status of him is, but that's not great anyway. We'll
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: get to the rocks later.
• 2:43
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: The Aves are the number one overall seed in all
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: of hockey. And I got this from Evan ra Wall.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: It's that the Avs are president trophies winners for the
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: fourth time in franchise history home ice advantage throughout the playoffs.
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: They're the sixth team in NHL history to hold first
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: place from November first through the end of the season.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: It was basically wire to wire. You were the number
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: one team in hockey the entire year. I have a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: new term to refer to the Avalanche. They're a wagon,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a Colorado wagon. Oh wow, Yeah, that's dude, that's good. Yeah,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: how'd you come up with that? I don't know. I
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: was just thinking about it last night. But the way
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: they've played, the way they finished the season, the way
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they took care of business, the way they just mowed
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: everyone and everything down, and now I have a chance
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to do what we anticipated they could do is rest
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Even coach Bednar said it last night,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: saw him a little bit on the postgame show, which
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: was awesome. Seeing Bedsie on the postgame show like that,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: and those couches awesome. It's a great situation for the Avalanche.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: It's perfect. Hey, Vic, do me a favor. That's so good.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I think you should write a song about it. You know,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: I've been dabbling. I was working on it last night. Yeah, yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I actually found a studio. Oh sweet, yeah, very nice. Opera.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: Oh it's gonna be opera opera Okay, yep, but no,
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: the uh this is ideal. You answered the last four
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: games of the season with everything wrapped up, and you
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: can kind of choose what you want the rest of
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: this season, the regular season to be.
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's super cool. I mean, you could talk to
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: different guys. We talked about it with Beds on Wednesday.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Vic.
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: He said, look, if Nate wants to play, Nate's gonna
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: play period. We're not gonna We're not gonna say with
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: Martin Nateis and these guys. I mean, if it's up
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: to them, we're gonna have conversations for sure. And the
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: good part is, too, is you don't have to play
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: these guys twenty two minutes a night. You can roll
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: and roll and roll and roll and it doesn't matter.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: The outcome does not matter. Habits matter, Stang Frosty, that matters.
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: But the actual point getting has zero bearing on anything
• 4:52
  Speaker 7: at this point.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, zero.
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: It's just a matter of how you want to handle
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: the rest of this year. And and what can you
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: do is a bigger question, Like you can't. Look, man,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: you can't leave nine guys at home when you traveled Canada.
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wish I could have gotten down there to
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: ask bed Nor that question. I don't know what the
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: answer is. I don't know how much wiggle room they have.
• 5:13
  Speaker 7: You also don't want to mess with the Eagles and
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: what they've got going on with them, right, But you
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: know you'd like to be able to get a couple
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: of guys in there and.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: And you know, rest some of your guys. That would
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: be ideal, Like you said, Brett, if guys, if.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: A couple guys don't have to go to Canada, don't
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: send them to Canada. Yeah, you just chill it home
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: for I mean how long would it be a couple
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: of weeks? Right, because you get the first couple of
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: games at home anyway, in the first round. By the way,
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: if you're looking at who a potential matchup is, who's
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: the team we've been talking about most that would be
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: maybe ideal for you, The La Kings. The La Kings
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: win last night, they jump into that second wild card spot.
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: They now are at eighty five points with a game
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: in hand on Nashville.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: If the Kings went out, they are going to be
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the eighth seed.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: If they went out, yes, and they had just their
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: twentieth regulation win last night, correct.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Which is crazy. You know, it's so funny. I mean, Chicago.
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: Is the second worst team in the conference. They've got
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: twenty one regulation wins.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: There's something else that I noticed yesterday.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: And I know this is like just a battle for
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: certain sort of whatevers, but whether it's a hard trophy,
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Jack Adams, the Vesna, the Norris, Like you're gonna have
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: names that are thrown in there for all these different categories.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Right, what's the name of the trophy for the leading
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: goal getter? That's the Rocket Rashard.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: This from now it's a Montreal like Canadians sort of
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: fan blog. Okay, they have the video of Nate scoring
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: the empty netter, and they said, we cannot let this
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: unethical empty net merchant win the rocket. What on God's
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: green Earth is this monster rosity of a goal? Is
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: what they said, because they want their boy Coffield. Do
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: you know what's interesting about Coffield? Vicky's got fifty fitty
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: say it, say fitty fitty. He's got zero empty netters
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: this year, not one zero.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: It's really rats.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: They had Nate's now got seven.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: I got nine here on stat neuws. Wow, No, you're right,
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: you're right seven. Sorry, he's tied with Kutcherov in Hagel
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: they all have seven.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: My bad. I thought it was nine, but you just
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: shut up. Then, Hey, I got it. I got one
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: for you. Vic. In nineteen ninety one ninety two, Brett
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Hole great aame.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Bred Hole scored eighty six goals with zero empty netters.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Say that again. He scored eighty.
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: Six goals zero empty net goals for bread Hole that year.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: How crazy? I thought you're gonna say, like eighty six
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: with twenty one of them not even one empty net goal.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: He had zero when he scored eighty six.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: So Mac Mac, with the games remaining, clearly they don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: need to play and bet and Ar touched on this
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: last night. He's going to leave it up to the players.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: What do you think he does for the remainder?
• 8:14
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I don't know, Vic, I I'm as
• 8:17
  Speaker 7: much in the dark as you. I mean, does the
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: rocket really matter tonight? I think it does a little bit.
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: I mean I think it has to matter somewhat. I mean,
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: he's a prideful guy. He's played his off the entire season. Yeah,
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: I mean, to win a Rocket is pretty damn cool.
• 8:34
  Speaker 7: Only one player in Avalanche history has done, and that's
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: Milana Hayduke.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Well, he's well on his way. I mean, it's for
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: where Montreal is at.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: By the way, is there any question whether Kawfield's gonna
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: keep playing these last few games for them?
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, he's going to keep playing.
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, because they're buff They're battling in Buffalo. Still, they're
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: two points back with a game in.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Hand on them.
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: Bottom line is, you've got a team right now that
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: has accomplished every goal it could accomplish to this point
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: in the season.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Now you know, postseason, it all starts over. We all
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: know that. The big thing, though, is you gotta enter.
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: And this is just what hit me last night, because
• 9:16
  Speaker 5: this is at the point in the schedule that we're at.
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: If I try and find reasons as to why the
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: Avs will not win a Cup, I don't know how
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: many of them are hockey related.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Motion.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: They're incredibly good in kind of everything. They score the
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: most goals in the league, they've allowed the least. Their
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: one big problem all year was power play, which at
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: least that's okay now if not good, I mean, they
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: scored six seconds in last night to their power play.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: The only thing I can see really slowing them down
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: is injury. Yeah, knock on your wood boys. I mean
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: that's it. Yeah. They have literally everything else you want
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: to have. Yeah.
• 10:03
  Speaker 7: But Jerry Bennar was so he was so calm at
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: the mic last night, and he said, look the way
• 10:10
  Speaker 7: I look at it is this, we get into the postseason,
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: any of the teams left can beat us, and we
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: can beat any of them. Yeah, everything is everything is
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: wiped out from this point on once you get to
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: the playoffs.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: And he's absolutely right about that.
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: However, your habits, the way you play the game, your
• 10:29
  Speaker 7: five on five ability, first and foremost is superb. You're
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: going to give yourself the edge in all of these series. Hey,
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: did you see any of that Minnesota Dallas game last night?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I did not, Man, there's too much on television here locally. Yeah,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: but you to fit another game in? How many games
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you made it fit in?
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: Sounds like you're weak, sounds like you can't multitask anyway.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Minnesota blew that game. Dallas scored two in the third
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: to win five to four. But that being said, it
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: was a physical angry mess. It was a playoff game, absolutely,
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: it was. That is going to be a knockdown, drag out,
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: ta take no prisoners type of series.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So the Stars four points with three games, Yeah, that's over.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: They're gonna They're gonna host Minnesota in round one for sure.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: And they would have been tied had Minnesota hung onto
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: that game, they would have been, but Dallas would have
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: the tiebreaker.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: So I mean, even if they were tied in points
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: that you know, the Minnesota would still need to win.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Out and have a little help.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: That was a huge turn of events, is what you're saying.
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: It was so was that.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: No, it was in Dallas, in Dallas, okay, but Mini
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: had him.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: Minie had him going into the third period they were
• 11:40
  Speaker 7: up four to three and couldn't close it out.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: And uh, either way though, that's gonna be a hell
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: of a series.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Let me then cut each other up.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Quinn Hughes is fighting with Ranson in and they're
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: tackling each other down to the ice and.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Ryan Hartman boarded me go. It's remarkable.
• 11:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Houston, he got cut up and he had to
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: go down the tunnel and I'll be all kinds of
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: stuff went down it was crazy good right.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: There are three hundred point teams in the Western Conference.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Two of them will meet each other in the first round. Yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: thank god, it's not us this time. Definition of stupidity.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: That makes me so mad.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: You know what I gotta tell you, as I sit
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: here at the top of the standings, I actually don't
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: mind it at all.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Well now you don't. Yeah, Now, if you win it
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: all you're like, yep, let him go, let him do
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: whatever the hell they want.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Below you, you're standing on the top of the hell
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: you're looking at and you're like, that looks brutal, but
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: that's not me.
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: Well, here's the thing, man, you're gonna see. You're gonna
• 12:41
  Speaker 7: see one of them in round two.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Period. End of story. Sure, So that's the thing.
• 12:45
  Speaker 7: I mean, dig this, This is the way it's designed.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: Two of the three hundred point teams in the West
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: are gonna be out after the second round, no matter what.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the more you think about it, all three hundred
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: point teams, the only one hundred point teams in your conference,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: will run into each other in the first two rounds. Yeah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: the definition of stupidity, dude, there's only one opinion that matters.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: I don't even know what to say, man, I just
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I know it'll be cyclical. I know it won't always
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: be like this, but right now it isn't. Because it is,
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: it sucks mos.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Last night was a classic example, clearly the the Avs game,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: which was going on during the DU game. At the
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: DU game wouldn't end. It went to double overtime. You
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: started the season by saying many times, the Avs got Goalid,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: The Avs got Goalid, The Avs got Goalid. If you're
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: a Michigan hockey fan, yeah, dude, you got Goalid. Because
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Johnny Hicks is the reasons CU.
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I think he's a freshman.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: He's a freshman. Well, you have forty nine saves stood
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: on his head several times.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, dude, it was think about this. D was
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: outshot by double.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And they came away with the win. They moved on.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: It's incredible. So we get back to that now again.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: But again, what what you should be That's a one
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: game tournament, right, I mean that's it. One game.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if you're talking about seven game series, different deal. Yeah,
• 14:25
  Speaker 7: that's it's totally different deal. So you can get Goalid.
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: The tough part is Vic we've seen it, Brett, We've
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: seen it. You can get Golie in a series, you can, yeah,
• 14:35

• 15:14
  Speaker 9: This Bozo if I may is the crafty righty? Yes,
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: everything's below the speed limit. Well he does get some
• 15:25
  Speaker 9: rollover ground balls trying to get one here, not gonna happen.
• 15:32
  Speaker 9: In fact, it's going to be a walk off ground slam.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: It took twelve innings.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: It was back and forth.
• 15:41
  Speaker 9: San Diego winds it on Axander Bogart's walk off Grand
• 15:46
  Speaker 9: Slam seven to three score.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Now looking to get a little roll over ground ball Bam.
• 15:56
  Speaker 9: Not gonna gonna happen.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, did you guys happen to hear or the San
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Diego call of that, by the way, I did not.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You want to you want to hear.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: An announcer, you're really excited to call it?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Walk off Granny, listen to this.
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: Boy, no tacklop, slam, gotta walkt off, boge ghost boom
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: if they don't see a San Diegos.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: I actually think, first of all, slam Diego, great, Bogieth,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: I'm a bowguard's bogey goes boom also great.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I love both of those. It just happened, happening you.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: Slam, gotta walkt off, boge, ghost boom.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Shot a man stop.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Score doesn't sound like it? What does?
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: What does San Diego mean? A little German term?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Whales?
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, uh so the Rocks do lose yesterday.
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: In extras in the twelve Sandra Bogart's by the way,
• 17:07
  Speaker 7: was hitting like two thirty nine.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: And he steps up and he just ropes it to left.
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: There is still a really good player he is, but
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: it was a I mean, was it a no doubt
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: off the bat or Watts.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you see Maceon? I don't know if you
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: guys had a chance. Mason Miller came in in the ninth. Well,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, what do you do there? Right? What do
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you do?
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: I honestly just think if they bring in you make
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: an agreement with San Diego. They say we're gonna bring
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: in Maceon Miller?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: You all right, no need, Yeah, we'll go to the
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: next inning.
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: Next inning, he gets three strikeouts, but he can't pitch again.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: That's just I think that's that's fair.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Fair is fair. Did you see what he did?
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Motion?
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: He struck out three guys on ten pitches. Yeah, he's scared.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Almost an immaculate inning. He's frightening. Bro Valente Bolozzo, Huh,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: that's who gave up the home for the Rocks.
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: Not gonna happen, score, I.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: Mean you you you got a guy.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: On second?
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: By the way, can I give some props to the
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: podres Born? Well, did you see them butt the man
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: over the third?
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Sure? For one? A guy on third with one out?
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Bunting's vogue again?
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: You know the Rockies had a sacrifice spot last night too.
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: My point is that, I mean, I don't know why.
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: I don't know why you wouldn't bunt in extras to
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: get a guy on third with one out to get
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: the run across the plate. Sackfly scores, I mean, you're
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: good to go, I don't. I mean, there are a
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: billion more ways for a guy to score from third
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: than second with one out.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you why, I mused, because the Rockies put
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: up a run in the top of the tenth, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: then so did San Diego. And then the Rockies put
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: up a run in the top of the eleventh, and
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: then so did San Diego. Like it's when you start
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: with the guy in second base, you're almost kind of thinking,
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: there's like a seventy chance this guy's gonna score already.
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: Everybody wants a dog, everybody wants a big fight, everybody
• 19:12
  Speaker 7: wants the home run ball.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Got what you want, jacket.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: This team, the team that we're talking about right now,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: you eat it. The team that we're talking about right
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: now does sacrifice, but bunt.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: They've done it quite a bit. Actually, really, I know
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: what I mean. It makes me makes me happy. I'm
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: saying McCarthy did last night. Understood, Okay?
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Anyway, the Rocks lose now.
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Have you guys seen after we watched the injury report
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: from Memphis the other night, have you guys seen what
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: OKC is planning on doing tonight.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I want to explain what's happening with the Nuggets
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: and the NBA playoffs. I want to explain why teams
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: are sitting guys, why teams are placing guys on the
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: injury list, Why the Nuggets placed three of their top
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: guys listed as questionable last night. You know what's happen
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: happening right, You know what's happening because Oklahoma City has
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: officially put out an injury list that is sitting every
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: star player they have.
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: Which, fine, that's their right to do. They got the
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: one seed. Yeah, I did the same thing.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: They don't feel the need to have to play anybody.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Their B team is still better than the Memphis team
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: you saw the other night. Can we agree on that? Yes,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: the team you see tonight at ball Arena representing Oklahoma
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: City is far more talented and more dangerous than the
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: team you saw Wednesday night in Memphis. I agree. So
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: take that to heart. If you're a Nuggets fan and
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: you have tickets to the game tonight, you're upset that
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you're not going to see Shay Gilgess, Alexander, You're not
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: gonna see Chet, You're not going to see any of
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: the stars, rightfully, so for them, but you're still going
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: to see a team that wants to beat you or
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: do they? And this is what's happening here. So last
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: night Houston wins with ease, the Lakers beat Golden State.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Oh thank you going State for sitting Steph Curry for
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: no all that about dude.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: You know what, Steve Kerr, you overrated, overration.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know why he was already back. I don't
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: know why they choose on a nationally televised game Curry
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: versus Lebron, they choose to sit Steph Curry on a
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: night like that. This is everything that's wrong with the NBA.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: That decision last night. Absolute lunacy, no idea, no idea.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: Do you think the Golden State Warriors ownership group right now,
• 21:33
  Speaker 7: right this second? This goes back to our discussion from yesterday.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Would they rather get their butts kicked in the play
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: in or would they rather have.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: A lottery ball? Well, of course they'd rather have a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: lot of of course they would.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, yeah, they'd rather have multiple chances at the.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Number one pitch.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Do you not think that they have an outside shot
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: with Steph being healthy?
• 21:54
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: No, not even no, Jimmy, there's help, no, no, no,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: no outside shots. They'll lose. I mean they're gonna face
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: either San Antonio or Okay, see if they get that far,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: they're gonna lose in five games.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: That's like saying, now, now the things, now that the
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: dust is settled a little bit, right, No chance. Do
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: you think Springer's got an outside chance with Margot Robbie
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: or I mean just an outside yeah, Sidney Sweeney, I
• 22:19
  Speaker 7: mean just an outside chance.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: No, the Golden State.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: Warriors don't have a chance to junk. So why there's
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: twenty seven games out of first place. The Pelicans are
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: thirty eighth. These teams are a frigging joke. This league
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: is a joke. The playoff format is a joke. The
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: tanking crap is a joke.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Calm down, jumping there, Calm down a little bit. The
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: reason they sat Steph Curry last night, I believe, is
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to save him from himself, so he doesn't do anything
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: before the playoff run, so he doesn't play. Lakers win.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Lakers are gonna win their final two because the teams
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: they play against their junk and using Moser's term, they
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: want to lose. Houston's gonna win its final two because
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: they played junk. The Nuggets happened to play the two
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: top seeds in the West in their final two. And
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: here's how it's gonna work. If the Nuggets go to
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: and Oh, if they win both games, they are assured
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: the number three seed. If the Nuggets go one in one,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: assuming that the other teams I mentioned win, the Nuggets
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: will probably land the number four seed. If the Nuggets
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: were to lose these last two games, they could drop
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: as low as five and they could end up being
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: on the road against the Lakers. They could either play
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the Rockets, the Tea Wolves, or the Lakers in the
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: opening round series. We don't know yet. Everything is on
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: the table right now.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: And you know, Vick, I'm not sure I want to
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: start looking ahead either. I just want to worry about
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: the first round opponent. So if I say, well, if
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: you get Houston, that means you've got to play oka
• 23:45
  Speaker 7: se in round two, I'm not sure that we can
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: really afford to look ahead like that.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: Let's just worry about the first round and move on
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: from there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: So why did the Nuggets last night? The injury report
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: came out and they had Joker on it. He was
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: listed as questionable, Jamal was listed as questionable. Aaron Gordon
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: listed as questionable. Why do you think those names were
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: on that injury report? Maybe? Is where I started asking
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: you guys questions, hoping to get the right answer. What
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: do you think maybe they want Houston? Wrong answer? Brett
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: your turn. Why do you think they had them on
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: the injury report? I'm not playing? Maybe good try. The
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: reason they had those players on the injury report is
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: because they wanted to see the results of the games
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: last night. They wanted to see what happens last night.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Had the Lakers lost, had Houston lost, they may very
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: well sit those players tonight. But because they won and
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: now it's on, they got to play them. That's why.
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: I still think they would have said them even if
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: both of those teams lost.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Well, if the Rockets had lost, they would the Nuggets
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: right now would have been assured beating the Rockets to
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: the finish line. The Rockets would be out of the picture.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: If the Lakers had lost, they would have had made
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: the decision yes, when tonight or when on Sunday one
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: of the two. Now on the other side this, I
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: brought this up earlier this week and you guys sort
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: of poo pooed it. But I think it's a legit question.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: If you're san Antonio and okay See, you have a
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: hand in this playoff picture, do you want to face
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Denver in the second round or do you want to
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: send them to the other side of the bracket, Because
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: both teams okay See in San Antonio will have a
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: hand in that outcome. Okay See may look at them
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and say, well, well, we don't want to mess with
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: you guys in the second round. You guys are good.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: We'd rather play Houston. Yeah, we want to beat you
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: so that we don't see you. I tell you what,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: same goes for San Antonio on Sunday. Why would we
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: want to lose to you and like, we don't want
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: to play you guys in the second round, rather play
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: somebody else. Well, both teams get that going.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: If you're judging off that action, then OKC is making
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: the decision. Well, it's one or two things. Either they
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: don't care, which I think is probably the most likely scenario, sure,
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: or they said, all right, we aren't playing anybody tonight.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I hope you guys beat us. Don't be confused by that.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: As much as I look at that and say, wow,
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: okay See is resting everybody. Do you think they still
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: want to beat the Nuggets and we'll try to beat
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the Nuggets tonight even though they're resting everybody. Yes, yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: you're darn right. Pick what you're saying makes a lot
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: of sense to me. But it's also giving me brain damage.
• 26:37
  Speaker 8: I know.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: But this is this is what the end of an
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: NBA season brings you. It brings you. Schedule manipulation happens
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: every year. This is what happens. Teams are now looking
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: at the outcome, looking at the playoff seedings and say
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: what is our best path? And you have to look
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: at it almost twofold, All right, do we want this
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: or that? The Nuggets put those guys on the injury
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: list last night? In case.
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: I I still think, I mean, did they when did
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: okay See release their injury report before or after the Nuggets?
• 27:10
  Speaker 8: Did?
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know the timing. I think they're all deadlined
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: at a certain time during the day to put it
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: out there. Yeah, I don't know.
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: I think the most likely scenario here is that, Okay,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: see just said, hey, we got the one seed.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not risking health to anybody. Well, and you can
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you can have both. You don't have to risk anything
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: and you still may want to win.
• 27:31
  Speaker 7: Oh.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: I think that they're look, you put guys on the floor,
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: they're gonna want to win.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: It just might be their B team, but their B
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: team is still pretty damn good because they got how
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: many guys are out?
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: Is it eight'?
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: They're dressing eight guys and having like three two way
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: contracts playing the night or something like that.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's a shell sort of roster. What
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: do you see? Whatever they got on the floor is
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: better than what you saw Wednesday night in Memphis, much better.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Did you see the.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: Injury report last night for the Carolina Hurricanes. Yeah, I
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: sent it to you, and then some.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Somebody gave the reasons each guy was out.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: I mean all the studs are out for Carolina.
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: Last night, the chanfield just wasn't feeling it. Slaven down
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: with opp Stall, hangnail, Martin Nook, Woozy Jarvis lost that
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: love and feeling Oho bored Svechnikov cuckoo for cocoa puffs.
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: It makes me laugh.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean they're they're like they knew they weren't
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: getting the President's Trophy against the ABS, So I mean, look,
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: other teams are doing it too, Vic. The Avs are
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: going to do it here. You know, it's not about
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: manipulation because they've got everything wrapped up and they don't
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: control any destiny for themselves or any team they're going
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: to play.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: They know.
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's laid out in front of them. The
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: inevitability factor of the second round is there. You have
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: no choice, right, It's not like, well, you can push
• 28:56
  Speaker 7: the Nuggets to the other side of the of the docket.
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: There ain't no pushing anybody anywhere in the NHL. You play,
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: you play the rigidity until you get to the conference final.
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you this much. I think that one thing
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: is very clear. The Nuggets have a huge interest in
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: these last two games on where they want to finish.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know if OKC feels that way.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, I have come to the conclusion,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: and it's hard for me to get there because I
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: still waffle on this that the Nuggets right now control
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: their fate. They control whether they finish third, fourth, or fifth.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: They do because if they win out their third, that's
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: just the way it is. And if they can't get there,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: they just can't get there, you know, I mean, yeah,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: they just can't. Then why be frustrated about it?
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: No?
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I asked this question.
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: I'm curious what you guys think here. I asked this
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: question the appetizer. To the people listening, I said, give me,
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: on a scale of one to ten, your confidence level
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: that these teams make it past the first round. If
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: you had to go Avs one to ten, Nuggets one
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: to ten. And I know we don't know who the
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: first round opponent is, but just in principle, because.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: I think with the app I'm like a nine and
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a half more.
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: Than that nine seven, nine, And we need to look again.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: You can get Goalie, you can get whatever. But the
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Abs are the better team. And in a seven game series,
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: I'm taking the Abs.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: All day and also all night.
• 30:17
  Speaker 5: What's it for the Nuggets not knowing the opponent, knowing
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: it could be Houston, Minnesota, could be the Lakers.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: Who knows fifty eight to forty two maybe like I was, yeah, motion,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I was like a five and a half. Yeah, my
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: mother more than that on a six and a half,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: seven out of ten. Really, whatever it's going to be,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: whoever it's going to be, for the Nuggets in the
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: first round, it will be like pulling teeth. Wouldn't be
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: surprised if it goes seven.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, It's just it's it's really hard because when you
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: see the Nuggets against a team like Memphis, and I
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: get it, there's probably motivational factors in that that you're
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: playing against a team of people you've never heard of,
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: probably don't have a lot of scouting on them, don't
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: know how they're gonna play.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: But you give up seventy nine and a.
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: Half to that group. But then you are a to
• 31:00
  Speaker 5: shut things down when you need to shut it down,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean? Like if you when the
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: Nuggets want to play defense.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: They can play defense. Can I get a master's a minute? Please? Please?
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: It's time for another master's minutes. Let's get an update
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: from Augusta. And by the way, did you know Vic
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: played there? He's never mentioned it before. Sixty seconds on
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: the clock starting now, it's.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: A fat guy Pulcini.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's a vegan. He's an amateur fan. We got
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: a fat guy alert. I like it, Matteo Pulcini. First
• 31:38
  Speaker 7: Masters start on the Latin American Amateur in Peru. Hey man,
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: you want to get to the Masters games in order
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: get down to Peru and play some.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Golf man win.
• 31:48
  Speaker 5: Yeah, h Wyndham just parred. Wyndham had three straight birdies
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: on two, three, and four, so he's now three under.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: He just lipped out a birdie put two.
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: This guy's fat, though, yeah, jeez, yes.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, some overweight gentlemen have won the Masters before.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: You like.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Jacket.
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: I see this guy and I look at me and
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: I go, you know, what time to hit the range?
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, he does look like he could eat Actually Batilla.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: He's the anti Batilla.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: That show that I told you guys.
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: I don't know if you watched that episode of Bob
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: the Sports or not, but Batilla was on and Fat
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Perez was there, and he was Fat Perez.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: He's the bigger guy with the beard. There's two guys.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, he used to be a lot bigger.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: He lost a lot of weight.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know, he's he's the left. He's the good one.
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: He's the good one, the righty. And Bettilla goes, how
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: much do you think I weigh? And this is when
• 32:49
  Speaker 5: Fat Prez is probably three bills and he goes, I
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: don't know, one sixty five. Patilla laugh. He goes, I
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: wish he's one hundred and forty two pounds at six
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: foot three.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I think that's unreal. One it's like my kids. My
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: kid can't gain weight. My kids I got about one thirty.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: That's what Patia said.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: He goes, I eat all the time, nothing happens.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's he's like the way Motion, He's like the moucher.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: He's like the moucher from Breaking Away. It's all metabolism.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I'm going to release a video during this time out
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: looking back about ten years ago when we attempted something
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: the Hole in one challenge where we tried to make
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: a hole in one. Yeah, and you made an appearance. Yea,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: you may not recognize yourself. Wait what does that mean? Well,
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: well just look at the video when it's released. Okay,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: we'll keep an eye out.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Uh three oh three, five, four nine two five. Something
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: really funny happened yesterday, It's happened now. Twice this NBA season.
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: I want to get to it next.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: This has happened now for the second time that I
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: can count this year. And I'll go back to the
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: beginning of this basketball season. If you guys remember, there's
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: that big investigation where.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: You know, Chauncey.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Billups got taken away, and then they were investigating a
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: couple of players within the league for supposedly shaving points
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: or messing with uh you know, prop bets, stuff like that,
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: and you can bet on that. And then that guy
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: rehearsed that speech in the mirror fifty times and then
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: set it in front of a microphone.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I still can't believe that dude had the goal to
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: get all punny.
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: But if you guys remember, in the middle of that investigation,
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: a smaller part of that investigation, there was a guy
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: by the name of Terry Rozier. He's been in this
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: league for a long time. He was under investigation of
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: There was a video compilation from one game of him
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: where it looks like he is intentionally trying to play
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: awful basketball, like he is trying to manipulate something. In
• 34:46
  Speaker 5: the middle of that game, NBA checks him out and
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: they come to the conclusion that Terry Rozier wasn't shaving
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: points at all. They came to the conclusion that Terry
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: Rosier sucks at least that's what we're told, which I
• 35:00
  Speaker 5: I think is far more offensive than actually being accused
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: of shaving points. Like you if you came up to
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: me and said you are so bad at this, you
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: have to be cheating, and I told you, I promise
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not, I'm just this bad. Well, second example of
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: that has now just happened the Sacramento Kings, who fouled
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: late in the fourth quarter against the Warriors win up
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: in the game against a very good free throw shooter
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: in Seth Curry. Everybody looked at that and said, dude,
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: they have to be trying to lose this game. They
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: have to be thanking in. The NBA had an investigation
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: and here's what their statement is. We've completed an investigation
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: of the Sacramento Kings and goat head coach Doug Christie's
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: decision to foul intentionally late in the team's game against
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: the Golden State Warriors in April seventh. The league's investigation
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: determined that Christy mistakenly believed that the Warriors were not
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: in the penalty and therefore instructed his team to foul
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: in an attempt to stop the clock and utilize one
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: of the teams remaining timeouts. The investigation found that Christy
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: made no intentional effort to give the Warriors a shooting
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: foul or to cause the Kings to lose the game.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: So again, the conclusion the NBA has come to is
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: they weren't cheating. This guy is incompetent.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Which one's worst. Has the NBA ever found anybody guilty
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: of anything? Well, these investigations just draw out, draw out,
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: until you almost forget about them again. How long now
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: they hired a legal firm to go into the whole
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard thing. How long does it take? Like, what
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: are you doing all day? How many legal fees are there?
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: How many attorneys are on it?
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: After reviewing the case for many, many, many months, putting
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: our top people on it, the NBA has determined you
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: take a twenty five, two thirty five and five miles
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: west to the.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Seriously, you hire a firm, I mean, I'm serious, This
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: law firm. Per hour for each lawyer is probably a
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: grand an hour. How many hours do you think they've
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: put in on this. I don't know.
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: So here's what's happening, at least in my brain. I
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: can't prove it, but this is the only thing that
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: makes sense. When Tim donnahe got busted for doing what
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: he did as a ref in the NBA.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: Now that was that they came down. I mean he
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: went to prison.
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: They did, yes, But Tim Donahey, the one thing that
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: just has never made sense is you're telling me that
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: one guy acted alone with no help from anybody else.
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: I just don't buy it. Because let's say that Donahue
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: is doing Donah' stuff and he's manipulating a game with
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: calls in favor of a certain team. One of his
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: other refs would be like, Tim, what's going on here?
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: They would notice, right, yeah, he'd think so. And in
• 37:49
  Speaker 5: the case of aspiration or the tanking from Doug Christy
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: or Terry Rozier, I think the last thing they want
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: to do is say, yep, they're guilty of of this,
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: because what's to stop the Kings if they get hit
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: with some sort of punishment for intentionally tanking, to be like,
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: oh yeah, well, what about Utah benching their players in
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: the fourth quarter?
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: What about Memphis? What about Memphis not suiting anybody up?
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: What about this? What about that? Hey aspiration?
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: Oh you think that we're the only ones doing this?
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: Why don't you go look at what the Knicks did
• 38:20
  Speaker 5: with Jalen Brunson or something like that. I think the
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: last thing they want is to admit that people are
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: doing this, because then you have to punish everybody.
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, then there's a hole can be poked in anybody,
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: any team anywhere. It's like when when the Houston Astros
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: got busted for the trash can beating. Right, every team
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: is cheating somehow on a baseball diamond trying to steal signals.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: You know what they did, They said, why don't you
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: go look at what the Yankees are doing? And you
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: know what, the your Rockies did it too, And you
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: know what the MLB said, sh.
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: Shut up, shut up, you shut up, and just take
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: the punishment because nobody wants.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: To do this for every team in the league.
• 39:00
  Speaker 5: You don't want to go this fine tooth come with it,
• 39:03
  Speaker 5: because you can find something on pretty much everybody.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Is the assumption there, Brett, Why do you think the
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: the steroid era of baseball was so controversial because it
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: was hard to prove who really did it? Well, yeah,
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: it was easy to see in some people.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: You saw it, but it's hard to prove it.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: Oh and then Kenseko's like, don't you dare throw my
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: name out there.
• 39:26
  Speaker 5: I got a rolodex that you can look through if
• 39:28
  Speaker 5: you want to, Like, Hose, it's cool, it's cool.
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I was a last key kid when I was little.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: What that is? I went to nobody like you. I
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: didn't have I didn't have a mom.
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: Waiting for me to when I got home.
• 39:41
  Speaker 7: She's dead now, by the way. So I would come
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: home from I would. I would come home from school
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: as a little, tiny kid by myself. Who knows, man,
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: some murderer could break in and kill me and I'd
• 39:54
  Speaker 7: be dead.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: To how old? It's an awful thing whatever, it's so funny.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Just hold on a second.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: You were eight years old and you didn't have any
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: parental supervision. Yeah, dude, hammer and Marlboros and drinking cors
• 40:11
  Speaker 7: plains a lot, sure does. Yeah, come home from school,
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: take my shoes off, right, it's just most slam of
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: Coors light.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: Smoke them. This makes a ton of sense.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: Mosa would come home, no parents, he'd sit criss cross
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: apple Sauce put in an eight track of.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Some band some eighties. He just bought a Texico and
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: just be jamming out all day. It's like you're like
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Jim Carrey and the cable guy Vicky.
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: You had the mortadella sandwich, grew up a little po
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: you know, the old Moja, the old moos Man.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: I'd get a jar peanut butter is each.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, you'd go home to Pops and if you're like,
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: you want to tune a fish peanut butter sandwich.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I live the polar opposite. I couldn't get my
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: mom away from me. Yeah you still can't.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: True, well, but now you don't want to.
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: But here's here's my point. When I came home from school,
• 41:05
  Speaker 7: Hogan's Heroes was on TV on reruns when I was
• 41:08
  Speaker 7: a little, tiny kid. So I've probably watched eighty billion
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: episodes of Hogan's Heroes. Sergeant Schultz is all the leagues.
• 41:16
  Speaker 7: When something bad happens, you know, Sergeant Schultz would say,
• 41:19
  Speaker 7: you better hurry this up.
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: I know nothing, I see nothing, remember that.
• 41:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, anybody like sanfordgis Oh yeah, I'm the only jerk
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: on the planet.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: He watched Hogan's Heroes right.
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: Sanford just texted in best example of this is SEC football.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: The ultimate Cold War one bomb drops, the entire thing explodes,
• 41:41
  Speaker 5: led the NC at double A, waving the white flag
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: of surrender and packaged in the NIL.
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: I mean that is true, Yeah, pretty much. It was.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: It was two options.
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: We either make paying players legal or our biggest product
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: in college football. Everybody has to be punished somehow.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: I know nothing nor it got so out of hand
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: in the SEC. It was so easy for the SEC
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: to thrive because they paid players openly and didn't care.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: They did it unabashedly, sure that the rest of the
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: country is like, are we gonna do anything about this?
• 42:17
  Speaker 4: No, okay, then we're all doing.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: It all right, Hey, may we will do something about this.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: Let's start paying everyone three million dollars here, Let's do that.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: Look I'm not, but you guys could agree. Though even
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: coach agrees, and I've been saying it for years. The
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: SEC cheated way before everybody cheated. The SEC is the
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: best conference of cheating.
• 42:37
  Speaker 5: The funniest part about it now is that all these
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: these former players like PS two and everybody has a
• 42:42
  Speaker 5: podcast and they will openly talk about what your hand.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so all of the and this one cracks
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: me up about the SEC. It means more, we're just
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: so much better because you cheated better. You cheated better
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: than every conference for years. That's what you did.
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: And you just kind of looked at the NCAA and said,
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: I dare you right?
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: I dare you?
• 43:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Brett, listen, don't I don't doubt that. You know,
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: the stuff goes on and you know, conferences, college football, pros, whatever,
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: but the league has to not just run and hide
• 43:16
  Speaker 7: and pretend like nothing happened. I understand why they do it,
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: because they're trying to protect their brand and that these
• 43:22
  Speaker 7: are billion, billion, billion, billion dollar enterprises.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I dig that.
• 43:26
  Speaker 4: But the best policy, in my opinion, will be just say,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: you know what, we can't have this at all.
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: And crack down Hardah.
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean with baseball when Pete Rose was Pete
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: Rose over punished, Yes, yeah he was, yes, But baseball
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: did it back.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: In the day. So are you are you saying then
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: that these leagues have to have to punish every team
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: for any issue because there are teams tonight, example, Oklahoma
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: City's gonna sit a bunch of players strategically, not because
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: it's fact, they're sitting Jalen Williams, the big guy out Achilles,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Hartenstein out caf, Isaiah Joe out knee, Alex Caruso
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: out rest.
• 44:08
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's but that's because that's in argument towards them,
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: like to defend them. That's because they're like, no, no, no,
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: we're trying to be competitive by keeping our guys healthy
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: before the playoffs start, and we have nowhere to move.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, and they kind of earned it, man, the
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: number one team in the league. Yeah, but in the
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: grand scheme of things, if players are healthy, the NBA
• 44:31
