  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports

  Speaker 1: Radio ninety and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: Well Freeman Geo Rainada. The most goals the United States
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: have ever scored in a World Cup game.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: It is as.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Close to a perfect beginning as any of us could.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Have possibly imagined. The United States four, Paraguay won. There
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: comes Fox.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Five seconds remaining, Fox to Wemby.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Wemby tries to three, puts it up off the.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: Mark and Ano'll be the rebounds. That's over. That's over.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: Nick fans, this is not a dream. Your long long
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: wait is ended. Go ahead and cry. After fifty three years,
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: the Knicks are finally NBA champions once again. Yeah, they're
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: going to clinch it appropriately with a total team effort
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: and a shutout. The Coin of Hurricanes have won the.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Stanley Cup for the second time.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know that there's a coach in the league
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: that more embodies the way their team plays than Rod Brindlemoor.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: He's the face of the franchise, and he really has
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: been since he captained the two thousand and six team
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: at age thirty five. But just the fourth man ever
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: to win the Stanley Cup as a team cap and
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: then a head coach of the same franchise.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: What a weekend.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, live out here at Sanctuary for the National Jewish
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: Health Golf Tournament, as we are every single year, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 6: two champions crowned over the weekend. The US wins their
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: first game in the World Cup in dominant fashion. I
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: got to question those surrounding the Knicks and is what
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: they accomplished replicable? They had their star player pass up
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: on one hundred million dollars to try and keep that
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: team together.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: He did, but he's also going to make up that money.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: It was a gamble. It was a risk, right, it
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: was a risk. He'll make it up now. Yeah. Wait,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: it's not like he's never gonna see that money. He
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: just put it still. He just put it off, which
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: is great. Not everybody agreed, but he just put it off,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: which is great. Get your sole credit. Not everybody. You
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: don't think everybody has that opportunity. You don't think everybody
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: looks at a situation and says, let's fill out our roster.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait to make my money. What if you
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: get injured?
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: No, this is what I'm saying, like the fact that
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: he put that risk on the table and then actually won,
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: like he got what the whole point of it was,
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: I'm going to pay off a team good enough to
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: win a title and guess what, you know what the
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Knicks aren't and still the second apron. They still have
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: roster flexibility if they want to.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: The answer is no, it's crazy. I was trying to
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: think of another player who's done something similar and actually
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: paid off at the end. Well, didn't pay off for
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Tom Brady didn't. He didn't take less the NFL rules.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: I don't understand him as well. Elwait took less. Elway
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: took far less than he should have been paid. He
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: got Scroogy, well a little bit, he took less. The
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: thing about the NBA, after what happened with the Clippers
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and Kawhi Leonard, you wonder if these guys are getting
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: paid regardless. Is there a tree farm in New York
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: City right now? Well, yeah, that's part of it. Just
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: looking at I'm sure I saw your tweet about that
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: you found one, but I don't know that they have
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: any deals worked out. Aren't you thinking that way? Yeah?
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: I am thinking. You know, it's a hundred million dollars. Yeah,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: you're gonna make it up, but it's a risky proposition.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: He got the full payoff, so is he. That's an
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: absolute legend. He will never pay for another meal in
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: New York City every year. A couple of examples. Here's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: one that's here says Paul Korea took a major reduction
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: from ten million to one point two to join the ABS.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: He did he team with Solani. They both took nothing,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you know, compared to what they could have gotten. Make
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: a run, correct, and then Selani's knee was mush and
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Career broke his wrist and the rest is history.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: You know, the uh, the Brunton story is cool though,
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: Like to do that, keep it together and then actually
• 4:29
  Speaker 6: come through and have the championship to show for it
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: is awesome. And yes, you know, somebody said he didn't
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: take a one hundred million dollars pay cut, he'll make
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: it up later, and I'm like, but he took one
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: hundred million dollars off the table, and he was old.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: For everybody who says it's not a big deal, how
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: come we don't see more of that? Then Joker could
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: do it exactly. I mean, anybody could do it. Lebron
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: is a billionaire. He could do it. He doesn't do it.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: You could do it. Take a hundred you know what,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: you guys don't know this. I've already taken one hundred
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: million off the table for myself this show. Well, you
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: know what, maybe Vic and I should take a hundred
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: million off the table each because the show Friday without
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: You was a total disaster. One more time, one more
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: time on how the show went on Friday without Brett
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: here running the controls. Please, yeah, he's getting it right now.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: If you miss Friday's show, one of the worst ever
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: in the history of broadcast radio. Team Lombardi is here.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: By the way, look at Dante looks so stoic. Look
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: at the kid and see look at he's got this
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: frown on his face. It's because he's a lawyer studying
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: for the bar exam.
• 5:31
  Speaker 6: All right, go ahead, now, beautiful Friday here, yep, do
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: you have any more than that?

• 5:44
  Speaker 3: We almost did have a show.
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: Well, I'll play this this whole clip, because after you
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: guys talked over each other, the silence that followed was
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: just deafening.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Beautiful Friday here.
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: Yep, Jesus, I thought we established somebody talk.
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: That was completely unedited. What was that five seconds?
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know, so bad? Why are you like that?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Why do you make me like that? I don't know.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: It's just the way I'm built. I guess Why are
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: we staring right at each other and we're speaking at
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: the same Well, I was at I was at the
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Green Valley and you were at home. So that's that's
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: kind of that's kind of a kind of a reason. Oh,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: that's funny. That is so funny. Also, do you guys
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: remember what I was like? I puked in the six
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: o'clock hour a few months back.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Yes, and I was like, I'm gonna I'm gonna make
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: it till seven and then I'm leaving. And I remember
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: I was driving in the car and Vic you guys
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: were on the area, going, well, do you want to
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: start or do you want me to start?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm just a PRI's not here. It's
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: that's That's the God's honest truth. Though, I'll tell you
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: that's exactly the way it went down. It was a
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: total nightmare, man. But nonetheless, listen, I don't know what
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: we do now. I guess we'll go home and we'll
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: watch World Cup. I mean, I'm sure that I'll do that.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: There's no hockey to watch it. There's no yeah, praise yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Praise the Lord. There's no basketball now anymore. We can
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: watch the Rockies, but they ain't gonna put twenty three
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: on anybody the rest of the month. I feel sorry, Yeah,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: we'll get justin. I feel sorry for all of you
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Yahoo's out there, and there's a bunch of you out
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: there and not afraid to text the show who. Every
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: time we start talking about soccer, you say, stop it.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: It's not a real sport. Stop it. I'm turning in
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the channel. Whatever. You Yahoo's who don't get to enjoy
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: the next month. You got nothing. Well, you know we
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: get soccer. At least you got nothing. I'm watching every
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: World Cup game with interest, every single one of them.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I say this all that time.
• 8:01
  Speaker 6: There is nothing like the US participating in something that
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: they're an underdog, yet that they aren't the favorites or
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: one of the favorites.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: It's a different kind of watch.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: It's like when they when they want to against Canada
• 8:12
  Speaker 6: and the Olympics, the amount.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Of joy they coursed through.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Expecting them to not win and then beating a team
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: who prides themselves on this is our sport. He'd be
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: the same if you lost in the Olympics in basketball,
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: whenever that country felt that beat you.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: It's the same thing. Correct. Or when Serbia took the
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: took him to the brink. Yeah, Serby took him to
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: the brink. But Serbia won bronze, and it was like
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the biggest thing ever, right, because you're not supposed to
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: be there. Regarding the World Cup, though, there's a game
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: today at ten am. It's a spawn, you know, so
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Spain is playing Spain, crazy soccer country. It was just there,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: you know, six months ago or five months ago, whatever
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: it was. They're playing cape Verde. Who cape Verde also
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: known as Cabo Verde. Anybody have any idea on the planet?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on. This is a World Cup team, correct,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: representing a country. Correct? And Italy's not don't look at it,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: hold on, hold on, don't you even touch it. Italy's
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: not in, but cape Verde's in. Cape Verde is in,
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: that is correct, So Italy's not there. The total population
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: by the way of Cape Verde is about five hundred
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: and twenty four thousand people. Is it off the coast
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: of like the Canary Islands. That's exactly where it is, dude,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: total guests, I'm not gonna it's totally gets off the
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: west coast of Northern Africa. Totalrect It's officially an African country. Wow,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: that is correct. And they qualified for the World Cup.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: They have qualified for the World Company. It looks beautiful.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: That's beautify. It looks gorgeous. What they played a bunch
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: of trees? I don't know. But how do they have
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: a path to glory and Italy can't get in? That's
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: it's beautiful. That's stupid. The four years ago all you
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: had to do was handle your business against North Macedonian
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: was I know, no excuse, Okay, it's stupid. It's also stupid.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: So anyway, there you go. Uh if there's four games today, man,
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: I've been totally into it. We saw clem here's a
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: few moments ago the englishmanum, so when's Engle play like Wednesday?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: And here's my other thing for those of you again,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: the non soccer fans who complain that the sport's too slow,
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: not enough scoring whatever. Oh, how about this one. Oh,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: there's too much flopping in soccer. Have you watched basketball?
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Have you watched basketball? Do you think do you think
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: there's more flopping in basketball or soccer? There's still a
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: lot in soccer? Is there more? Is there more in
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: basketball or soccer? I can. I can make the argument
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: that every single play of physicality that's made on a
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: basketball court there's a degree of flopping or flayley, every
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: single one. Yeah, it's also a lot in soccer. Okay,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: but basketball's taking that throne. I think in my opinion, Hey,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: most your sport's not devoid. There's a lot of flopping
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: and I've noticed, Uh no, there's a oh there's a
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: lot of it. Well, yeah, there's some of that. There's
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of it. There's some of that that goes on.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Look at Justin, one of our favorite dudes. Look at
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: our man over here. But you want to talk about it?

• 13:00
  Speaker 6: or so to try and get you over for a
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: little bit.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 13:05
  Speaker 6: After the US one, and I know why they do it.
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: I mean this is you need a little break in
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: between these games.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: That break is killing me though.
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: I just got all this joy of this team playing
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: so awesome, and then it's like it's a week off.
• 13:17
  Speaker 6: You're like, dude, get them.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Kicked in the back of the leg. But also, but
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: if you see it online, if you've seen the reaction
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: online of all of the like the Scots in Boston
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: where they where they got into the airbnb overnight and
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: they pulled out the bagpipes in the morning and made
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: friends with the neighbors and everything, and okay, then they
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: walk with their bagpipes to the stadium. They walked with
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: their bagpipes leading the way as a gigantic thousand person
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: group to Fenway to Fenway parked their first baseball game ever.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: But you see like people from around the globe and
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: all these different cities. You know, it's it's like they're
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: having a I think, so far, at least from what
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I've seen it in the US, we've been a very
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: good host. When CURUSU scored last night against Germany, the
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: stadium just went ballistic. It was awesome to watch what's
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: their first goal ever as a as a custry. And
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I think the Japanese team has introduced something to pro
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: sports that I think should be carried further here in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: in the US. You should have to clean up after yourself.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: I want every pro team now cleaning their lockers when
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: they're when they're done with every game they do.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: The World Baseball Classic, Japan had that immaculate dugout by
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: the time the game.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Clean your crap up, Clean it up. Have you been
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Have you seen Ballerina after a game? Yeah, it's an
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: absolute disaster. It's a pig pan. Have you seen Mile
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: High after a game? It's a pig pen. Yeah, zero civility.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: We were just kind of used to just throwing stuff everywhere.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: The worst thing is at the Rockies because peanuts shells.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: They have those people on the court owner who sell
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: those bags of peanuts and plastic bags. I tell you
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: the worst. And dude, the shells they just drop and
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: they just get crushed and they get stumped. They what
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: am I supposed to do with my peanut shells. I'll
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: bend over and I'll show you. I'm gonna tell you
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: something else. We're at a golf course. We're at a
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: very nice golf course today, right, dude, there's a restaurant
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: called Texas Roadhouse. It looks like that inside the restaurant.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: We're at a very nice golf course. You know what,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: I think? I can't stand this. When I go on
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: a golf course and you go on to green and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: you see some flowers selous. You can't do that. You
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: can't spit some flower seeds out on it. You can't.
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Some things you cannot do, and that's one of them. Yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I don't. That's that takes a real jerk wipe to
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: do that. By the way. Look he's very quiet. Now, Oh,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I don't do some flower seeds. No, he's not a
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: sunflower seed. No, I got my We got my little
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: pouchy pouch. But that usually goes if I need to
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: get rid of my pouch on a golf course. First
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: of all, it's by it agreeable as a sunflower seed is.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: Second of all, it ends up where the rabbits go
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: to die. You know, anybody see it or know it
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: or nothing? You know, it's it's fine. I have rolled
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: my ball through your chew spit before you have. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: that's awesome.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Maybe you get a little bit more of that today
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: maybe three oh three five o four nine two five
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: back after this all right, back out here at sanctuary.
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: If you'll have a spot, I'm not worried about it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: don't worry about it.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I'm not worried about it. I'll make sure you get
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: a spot. I'm not. I'm not worried about it. Yes,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you are worried about it. No, you just asked me.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Did I check in? I said I tried to. They
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: said they were foll you'll get a spot.
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: You know a few things here as we talked about it,
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: champions being crowned over the weekend, and and uh, you know,
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: the US winning in the World Cup in game one
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: out of all the teams that won titles. Usually, I
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: have this burning desire for a team to lose, and
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: I had that certainly with Vegas.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Did you have that at all in the NBA Finals?
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: I know that we talked about I wanted the Knicks
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: to lose because I hated the way the fans were
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: reacting to stuff.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: But I do like it for the actual Knicks. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: like the Knicks players. I can't help it. I like
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson, I like Josh Hart. I'm I'm so in
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: love with og An and Obi in his style of play.
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I I feel like Karl Anthony Towns, you know, regained
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: a sense of who he is. I everything Mike Brown,
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: their head coach. Is it good? That's a big time
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: redemption because wasn't it the Aaron Fox that got him
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: fired out of Sacramento? Yes, and then and then ended
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: up getting traded to the San Antonio first Yeah, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: so he got I mean, if you want to call
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: it revenge, I'm sure he's just happy to win. Yeah.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: I mean, this the thing with Vegas is that it's
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: not just it's not just us. A lot of people
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: want them to lose. Why does Vegas have that rep uh?
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I think it's because because their jerseys are sparkly. They're
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: jerseys if you look at them up close and personal,
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: they're their gold. But they they're they're they're like they're sequence.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It's they were born empty. Yeah, but they were That's
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: exactly right. It's a franchise. They were born on third
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: base because the league wanted them to have some modicum
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: of success, I mean not not. They didn't want them
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: to be a drag and a bottom in a bottom feeder.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Because it was the first expansion team in an awfully
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: long time. You know, Minnesota got pretty decent quickly. They
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: they they did a good job and they ha Jack Lamers,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: their head coach. But the Columbus Blue Jacket struggled for
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: a long time. Most they didn't want that. It's all
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the pomp and circumstance that comes to Vegas, to all
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the theater that goes on, and well, it's the it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: the guy in the in the coat of the suit
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: of armor. It's the the the drummers with their eye things.
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: It's the show girls that that go down onto the glass.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: It's the cheerleaders that run up and down the the aisleways.
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: It's the loud, pa guy, it's the loud. It was
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: very loud last night. No he wasn't, but I'm telling you,
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: in that booth man, the speakers are right in front
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: of you, and when they get really loud with their
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: music and water makes me have to pee. So that
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: drives me crazy. I'm just I'm just saying. It's like
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: those vibrations. You're like, I, I gotta, I gotta take
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: a whiz. I mean, that's it's I don't it's probably
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: all of that, and I don't know. There's a lot
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: of jealousy too, because they got good quickly and other
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: teams have been languishing for a long time, so there's
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: some of that involved in it. You know, it's Mark
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Stone's face. You know. It was the you know, missing
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of time in the regular season and suddenly
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: being activated ready to go in the postseason. That made
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: people mad. Thought they were skirting the rules, or at
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: least the you know, the spirit of the rule. Vic
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: And now they've changed it. They've changed that rule so
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: he can't do that anymore anyway, So it's I think
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: it's probably everything combined. What do they do with twarts?
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know. He's made it clear he wants to coach. Now.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Does he want to coach still in Vegas? He had
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: a lot of good things to say about that team.
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: Does he want to coach someplace else? He made it
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: clear he wants to coach and that he's open to it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Left his close in Carolina. That's so fun. I mean,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: you go back and get his closed. I don't know
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: if he really did or if that I mean being torts.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: He probably did. He's probably got a closet full of
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: clothes at the hotel in Carolina that they're going to
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: have to clear out and send back to him.
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: But technically his contract ended over the weekend, right, Yeah.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know what he got paid for eight games
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: in the postseason, but he's down one hundred grand I
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: do know that that's true. He got he got dinged
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: the hundred g's for not showing up at the press
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: conference when they beat the Avs. Remember, yeah, and only
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: what one player was available to the media, or just
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: two players they closed the room off. You wouldcall that
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: it is.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: Weird how that works, Like his contract is now done.
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: If you do want to sign him back, does it
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: have to be now like a four year deal.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think he comes back. I
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: think that was one of those Hey, let's see if
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: we can catch lighting in a bottle. And they did,
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: I mean they did well. Let me ask you this,
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: was it a success for Vegas this year? If success
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: is only measured by Stanley Cup championships? Was it a
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: success for Vegas? It depends on who your team is, though,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: but they would do. They were a thirty nine win team.
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: They weren't going anywhere or doing anything the majority of
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: the season. They got Carlson back, which was huge. They
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: made the coaching change, which was huge. They caught lightning
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: in a bottle for as long as they could. I mean,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: it wouldn't surprise mes Vegas as not back there next year. Right.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: But the case, you cannot make a better case for
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: staying with your coaching staff than the case that Carolina
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: made with Brenda Moore. Correct. I'm gonna read from what
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: Raj Morning Sprint Raj who just posted on Twitter Carolina
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: sticks with Brenda Moore for an eighth consecutive year, after
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: seven layoff failures, three second round exits, a five game
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: first round exit, three conference final losses, combined record of
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: one to twelve in those conference finals games. All of that,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: they stuck with him and they got a cup. Now
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: it's not to say they couldn't have gotten two or
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: three Cups, but they stuck with him and got a cup.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: So the answer isn't always change. Well, and again you're
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: talking for coach Bednard. Now he's been here a decade,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: but he did win in twenty two. It's been four years.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, why aren't I guess I have a different perspective.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I understand people want to win, and I understand they've
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: been favorites going into these series and they lose into
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: this kind of thing, But I know how difficult it
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: is to actually work your way through. So why would
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: he not be afforded? If you see the payoff there
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: and Cooper's had four years where he's bounced in the
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: first round. Yeah, if you see that, I mean, doesn't
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: it build you a little leeway? I think it does
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: in the case of John Cooper. Certainly, do they still
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: think he's a terrific coach down there? Does cooch Roff
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: still won him as a coach. Yeah, so he's staying.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Does Nathan McKinnon want Jared Bednar, does kil mccartes, Gabelandiskog? Yes,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: they want They don't want a coaching change. The players
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: want you change coaches. When players stop responding, they are
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: responding to Bennar.
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: The whole point to trying to run something back. You
• 23:22
  Speaker 6: just have to ask yourself a question if this team
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: is largely the same, because offseason is going to be
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: re change no matter what if you're if you win
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: a championship, or if you're the worst team in the league,
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: every team's going to change at least somewhat. The question
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: is do you believe that that team as a whole
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: is good enough to potentially win next year? And I
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: think in the case of the FS answers yes, yes.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: In the case of the Nuggets, I'd say no. I
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: don't think they are currently constructed. I think they need well,
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: what do you think they need?
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, what if I told you the what if
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: I told you the Nuggets were fully healthy next year
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: and they had the same roster come back, which they can't.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: They can't bring back Tim Hardaway junior Jonas Valenschiunis and
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Peyton Watson. That's not gonna happen. They can't, like literally
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: can't bring back Tim Hardaway Junior unless no one else
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: out there wanted to pay him. He's going to make
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: eight to ten million.
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: If you tell me that everybody's healthy in the playoffs,
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: then yeah, But I just don't think that's ever gonna happen.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I as much as I hate to say it, I
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: don't think I can trust Aaron Gordon anymore.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: There's just I think it needs, it needs to go
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: back to something more of. I don't want to say
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: like effort in defined roles, but I want me some
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Josh Hart's.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: I want me some Anonnoby's.
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: I want guys that are gonna go out there and
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: use some athleticism, get some stops when you have to
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: play without fear, like all that different stuff.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Brett, what if I told you though winning a title
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: and then coming back to win another, It's just it's not.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say it's as easy as it once was,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: but the hunger, I just don't. It's harder to produce
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: that hunger. It's harder, which is why you're Victor's so right,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: which is why I was I found. I knew that
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Kansas City is gonna have a dip year at some point,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: but the remarkable fight that the Kansas City Chiefs add
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: in them year after year is rare in pro sports
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: because once, once, you win, and not only that, but
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: it's not only meant. The mental side of things canner
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: where you've got to you know, you've got to keep
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: that same hunger and want. And I think we've seen
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: some of that dissipate, not in some of it, maybe
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: a lot of it dissipate for the Nuggets. I mean,
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: they still want to win. But when you when you
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: look at this NBA Finals, when you look at game
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: the game or was it lot two nights ago, and
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: you see what in the heck the New York Knicks
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: did to win that game, the commitment they made, it's everything.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: And so is that a hunger? Is that just being
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: batting crunch time? Okay? Well's also the physical aspect of
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: things too, because if you play a ton of basketball
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: year after year after year, a ton of important hockey
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: year after year after year, Florida won two Cups in
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: a row and then what, yeah, bodies broke down. Man,
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: they they they simply they didn't even make the postseason.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: They couldn't make the playoffs because they were banged up here,
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: you know, wiped out there. It just takes a toll
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: on human nature too. Guys get paid. Maybe you don't
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: have that same work ethic. Maybe you know, you go.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: You kept referring the last dance today. What was the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: common theme in the last dance for Michael Jordan? Thetrinsic? Yeah,
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: it was. It was never a financial hung it was
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: never it was always just about him proving to him. Yeah,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: that's hard to find, it is, I do. Yeah, it's
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: hard to generate that on a on an annual basis. Man,
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: the NBA is at a place it's never been before ever,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Eight straight different champions. You think the Knicks is gonna
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: repeat next year? Right now? If I had if you
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: had a bet, no, would you bet the fel Come on?
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: You know you know better than that.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: So hang on, here's your options. Let's say this continues
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: that a ninth different team in the last nine years
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: wins the NBA title.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who's that? Well, it could it could be one
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: of the Yeah, it could be one of those teams
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: that were close. I mean, San Antonio is not going anywhere.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: They got a Darren Darren Fox problem. We acknowledge that,
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: but they also don't. They don't have a Wemby problem.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: He's only twenty two. They're only going to get better.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: So here's here's here's probably your top options as of
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: right now. So Detroit finished number one. Detroit in the East.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: I always knew that Detroit wasn't a real contender, though
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: I could say just the way that their offense, their
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: offense wasn't good enough. Tay Cleveland, Eh, something missing there.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I can't put my finger on it. Uh, Milwaukee with
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: the healthy honest Philly. Billy's got some youth that I
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: don't know if Joel Embiid will ever be healthy enough,
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: ever be healthy enough, but anything, Yeah, yeah, guys like that. Uh.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: In the West, your options would be obviously san Antonio,
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: t Wolves. I don't know. That's another one of those
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: mystery teams that they're not gonna have DiVincenzo next year.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Rocket Balls of the Year. No, where do you put
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: the where do you put the Nuggets in the West
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: right now? The Nuggets I think are right. I don't
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: know what so, but what the Lakers is gonna be
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: now that DONC is just full. So that's that's a problem.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Today's a big day in the NBA, guys, because today
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: teams can start negotiating with their own free agents. Yeah.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: So I don't know why this would ever happen because
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: he's gonna listen to offers. But if the Nuggets wanted
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: to just throw paying Watson a ridiculous number today, they could,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: sure they could, and they can. So you're gonna find
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: out a lot about who is sticking around and who's not.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: In other franchises with their own free agents, they can
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: start talking to them. Some are already shopping around. By
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: the end of the month, free agency starts. The draft
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: is next week. Things start to happen here real quick, right,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: real quick. I mean same with the NHL, Dude, Today's
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: June fifteenth, right, yeah, June fifth. It's already June fifteenth.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Free agency starts in two weeks, bro, two weeks. So again,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: back to the Western Conference, Spurs and and you figure
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: Spurs and ok, okay, see on the same sort of Yeah,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: at the top. They're at the top of the Western
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Conference right now based on what they've done recently. I
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: still think the Nuggets are on that very you know
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: what I do too. They're right there, right. I saw
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: the odds come out for for next season, and the
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Nuggets are not part of the top five, but they're
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: they're right there at the top of this second tier.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: So it's like they're right there man. And again a
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: healthy AG and p Watt and you get San Antonio.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe you beat them in the first round. I mean it,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: or I just think that, or certainly you can beat
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: them on your way. I just think that the confluence
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: of circumstances ended up the way it did. It's just
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: and it stinks to high heaven. Peyton Watson's my golden goose.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by that? I'm putting all of
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: my hopes and dreams and Peyton Watson being a guy.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Do you think do you think other teams see what
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: Peyton Watson can do as well as because he played
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: and did it for the Nuggets for the month of January, right,
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: I think they absolutely see it. Okay, this is it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: I mean, this guy is going to get what twenty
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: some million dollars a year, probably more than that for
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: a month of good basketball.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Does any league on the planet play players more on
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: what they could be than the NBA. Baseball does it?
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I think so? Oh yeah, baseball does it? Just feels
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: like the NBA. The NBA is always willing to throw
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: more at a player on the come, right, I got no,
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: I got an example for you.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: Milik Willis had like four touchdown passes last year and
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: got like thirty million a year to be the quarterback
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: in Miami. Like quarterbacks, that happens a lot. They'll take
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: some back up. You're like, no, no, no, Jimmy Garoppolo,
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: we've saw him for four games. Let's give him, you know,
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: thirty million a year, right, So that will happen with
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: QB's now outside of Malik Willis, which again that's a
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: weird one. Like you guys want to know something crazy?
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: Speaking of paying people for like little statistical value. So far,
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: you know what his numbers were last year? Who what
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: got Malik Willis paid.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: By the Dolphins? He threw for four hundred and twenty
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: two yards and three touchdowns. It's ridiculous. Why can't they
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: give my boy a shot in his career? Guy Kelly, no,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: my other guy, Well, how many guys do you have?
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: Well, he got a three year sixty seven point five
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: million dollar contract. So that's twenty four million dollars inane
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: for six career touchdown passes in four years six.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: That's insane. Well, I mean that's that's a pretty big
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: bet on the future. Talking about my boy Ryan uh
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: or Ryan Zach Wilson. Oh jeez, is he in the league?
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he don't know. He just played for Miami.
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: I know they decided they'd give twenty four million dollars
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: a year to a guy who doesn't play.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: Oh that hurts. Yeah, that's right. Matt Flynn got paid
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: years ago for he played one game in Week eighteen.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Ron Cosweler got paid at that time was a ridiculous
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: amount to go to Houston. He did.
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: Uh three all three, five, four, nine two five Get
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: a fact checker on the way out. One final time,
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: I am out here at Sanctuary for the National Jewish
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Health Golf Tournament that we're here every single year for
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: always a joy and a pleasure to be out here.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: Some final thoughts on what took place over the weekend,
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: one of them being with the World Cup. I don't
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: know where people stand if if they consume all of it,
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: if they just watch their country play. I don't know,
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: but it is certainly at a minimum for me. A
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: background thing that I have on you know, it was
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: was just playing the other day Japan and Netherlands and Netherlands.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, fun game.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I don't know how everybody else sort of consumes it,
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: but I'm with Moje on the idea of one thing
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: that has been an absolute pleasure with the World Cup
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: coming around. I will consume any video of somebody not
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: from this country talking about going to a Bucky's or
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: I saw a woman who was blown away, blown away
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: and how good all of garden was. It's like, all right,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: I guess, uh, these little whether it's that taco bells,
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: all that different stuff.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I will consume every bit of content that involves said listen,
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: every culture is different, every country is different. We have
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: certain aspects of our country that need work, obviously, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of things that other countries look at
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: us and say, how do you do that? And how
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: do you do with that with such efficiency? Like the
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: one thing that I've never understood is every time I
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: go to Italy and if you want to get something
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: done in the afternoon, you can't, Yeah, because they're off right,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: were just there, they're they're lunch, you know, like we're
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: not working right now. That that concept doesn't exist here,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: like it doesn't exist. It is so true.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: Wait, last weekend, I was doing something with baby Jamal
• 34:56
  Speaker 6: Klee in the morning. She's taking swim lessons, so we
• 34:58
  Speaker 6: leave swim lessons. I see a Starbucks. It's one of
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: those inside of King soupers. So I went and got
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: Baby Jamal Kaila Donna. I stopped at Starbucks, was gonna
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: get a drink. I do it maybe once every two
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: weeks together. And I'm standing at the counter and the
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: two people are sitting down. The employees are sitting down,
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: puddling around their phones, and I'm kind of standing there
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: like I'm ready for coffee. Closed for lunch until ten
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: forty five. I'm like, it's ten in the morning.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: What do you mean? They probably got through at five
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: five in the morning, five thirty, but I got there then.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: I hear you. I remember sitting once in Italy and
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: I was trying to make a phone call at nine
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: thirty at night to change my airline. No no, no, no, no,
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: there's nobody you called. It doesn't it's not the way
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: it works, right, there's no customer service available twenty four
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: to seven. They're changing anything. No, not gonna happen. So, yeah,
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: there's some aspects of our culture that are far different
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: than what people are used to seeing. But you know
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: the other thing too. This may sound really stupid, and
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: please correct me if I'm wrong, because I am not.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know the answers to everything. But last night,
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: you know, we're holding a fundraiser. Here, we're generating funds
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: for a cause. And I do a lot of these
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: different fundraisers. This doesn't happen all over the world. You
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: realize that I've had people come up to me from
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: other cultures and say, wow, you know in America you
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: guys actually gather together and make money for a call.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: You know that doesn't happen. That this is one of
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the rare countries that that occurs, that people get together.
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: Charity charity work, yes, I mean there's charity, but not
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: like this.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: Now, but you're raising you know, a couple hundred grand
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: or a million. I mean that kind of thing is yes,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: it just doesn't It just doesn't happen. But this is
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: really and I'm not gonna call it an American things.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they happen at some levels in different countries,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: but not like this. Sure sense that's true. I wonder
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: if so. I'm watching the Dutch play Japan and what
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: color the hold on saying? Can we come to a
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: conclusion what we're gonna call that country? Because I'm not
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: doing this game either, You're gonna be Netherlands. Dutch and
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Netherlands don't even match. So you figure it out, and
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: when you figure it out, you come to me. I agree.
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: I think it's ridiculous that when somebody refers to England,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: it's England, it's UK, it's great Britain.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: Figure it out, just one thing given to the world exactly. France, French, German, Germans.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: You don't get all these names. Well they do it
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: a little bit different over there. You got a Dutch buddy,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Ralph got a Dutch Gota, You gotta Dutch buddy, No,
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: got a Dutch oven. The official flag of the Netherlands
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: were the colors something orange, red, white and blue. Yeah,
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Why they wore orange? They were you know who? Also,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: so the soccer team they were what pure orange? Yes,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: because it's it's like it's a it's a tribute to
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: the founding of the country under Uh, the William of
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: Orange or whatever he was, the you know, the guy
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: back in the day, so on and so forth. Uh,
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: our old old fred fimk. She also wore orange and
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: the Olympics, did she not? That's right, fambole fembole, nelly femka.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: He was such a strong razorer. Oh, running so fast,
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: notable running in the fifties. So I knew I had
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: to go out fast.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: Was it you motions that she tried to tell me?
• 38:37
  Speaker 6: She sounded like that because she was tired or is
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: that Vic? One of you two tried to tell me. Oh,
• 38:43
  Speaker 6: that's not how her voice actually sounds.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: She was just tired. I'm like, nope, that's kind of
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: how your voice sounds. Yeah. It's a tribute to the
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: ruling dynasty, the House of Orange Nasau, which traces its
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: roots back to William of Orange saw he led the
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: country to independence in the sixteenth century. Therefore, the color
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: of orange has become a national symbol of pride and
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: unity for the Dutch text five to seven five two
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: rights in wait till VIC finds out it's also called Holland.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: I'm very well aware of that. Which is why the
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: consternation exists. So what do you want? The country is,
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: what do you want? The Netherlands, Holland, the Dutch? Make
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: your pick, because I'm not playing this game. Holland is
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: really technically it's a region of the Netherlands. It's like
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: a like a portion of it, Holland is. But it's interchangeable.
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: It's interchangeable. No, you don't get everything. It's like these
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: people that want like uh uh, they want four last names.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Take a pick. Well, they're the dutch Man. There's two
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: things in this world I hate. I've heard this, people
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: and the Dutch. You know that was That was Michael
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: Kine and Austin Powers. He had it all wrapped around
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: you thing he was. He was funny. It was a
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: great line because he's just proving he's intolerant of other
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: people's cultures. That's just hysterical. I still, I mean, it's
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: a it's a trophy fish like I guess it's bag.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Which one of.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: These is the craziest thing from over the weekend. The
• 40:24
  Speaker 6: fact that the US scored four goals in the opening
• 40:26
  Speaker 6: game of the World Cup, the fact that both the
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: Knicks and the Hurricanes went sixteen and three on their
• 40:33
  Speaker 6: way to championships, or the fact that the Knicks won
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: in five games despite leading for only twenty four percent.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I think, in order, the most amazing thing is the
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: way the US team played, because we haven't seen that
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: at the world stage before. We haven't seen we just
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: have it. They were. They were crisp, attacking, clean and
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: good passing. The possum was the one thing about the
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: US team that was very critical to be The US
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: had trouble like in small spaces, they couldn't retain possession
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: in small spaces. Well, they couldn't. The other night they
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: were awesome. So to me, that's number one. Number two
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: is the Knicks just every game, didn't matter what the
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: score was, didn't matter what they were down by, even
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: at halftime. Weren't you the other night at halftime going oof?
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: Spurs should have been up by more of course, Yeah,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: so they hang on. I had this number in here earlier.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: It really is. Oh, here you go. Game one, the
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: Spurs are up fourteen points. They lost.
• 41:30
  Speaker 6: Game two, they're up by twelve and they lost Game four.
• 41:33
  Speaker 6: They're up by twenty nine and they lost. And in
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: Game five they're up by sixteen and they lost.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: That's hard and unreal.
• 41:38
  Speaker 6: Yea, And you gotta wonder, even for a young team,
• 41:41
  Speaker 6: you think they're gonna come back there. There have been
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: examples of people who haven't been, but I would imagine
• 41:46
  Speaker 6: that the Spurs are gonna get back there at some point.
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: Freaking us, The Chicago Bulls just hired a new head coach.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: He happens to be the former interim coach of the
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: Portland Trailblazers, Tiago Splitter. Really he's no longer in Portland.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: He is the new head coach of the Bulls. Wow. Interesting,
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: so Splitter, If you recall, people saw this coming because
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: the new owner in Portland is that guy who also
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: owns the Carolina Hurricanes, Tom Dundan, and he doesn't necessarily
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: like to spend money on coaches or staff, so he
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: wasn't going to pay Tiago Splitter what he felt he deserved.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: So Splitter now is in Chicago.
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: He's said, Splitter, I mean he took over under a
• 42:30
  Speaker 6: very weird circumstances.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: I do too. I thought he did a great job.
• 42:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know, but my question is for a team
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: that's as young as the Spurs are probably gonna make
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: it back here. Do you think this is one of
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: those things that they learn from or will they get
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: back in a situation where it's the conference finals, the
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: NBA Finals again and if they have a lead they
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: start to feel it slip.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Do they let old demons creep back? Yet? Well, it's
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: either you grow from it or it can cripple you.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, tell me you have a sense of doubt
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: if you have a lead. Sure, sure you have a
• 43:02
  Speaker 3: sense of doubt. There's no Yeah, there's there's no question
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: about it. I mean it has to it's got to
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: affect on your psyche. Now, again, for young players it's
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: probably more prevalent. But as you get older, you start
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: to just you start to just separate out different things.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Did you include in your little thing that? Did you
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: include the Stanley Cup Final that the Hurricanes won three
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: in a row over Vegas? I said that they finished
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: sixteen and three, okay, but they won three in a
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: row though. I mean they were down two games to
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: one on their whole ice and they won five to
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: three in game four, four to two. Oh yeah, they
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: were no, they were sorry. They were at Vegas. They
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: were down two games to one. They want to tie it,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: then went back home. Okay, there you go, then one.
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: That's what Justin and a couple of other textures have
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: chimed in on my I just can't understand all the
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: different names. Holland goes by whatever. Someone says, Vic, are
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: we America USA or the States? Good point?
• 44:00

• 44:03
  Speaker 6: States of America? And America's for short? What do you
• 44:06
  Speaker 6: mean is one word?
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah? All three of those names you just gave me
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: in that text, Justin, are in our full name? Yeah?
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Great Britain and Cleveland's is not the Netherlands Dutch of Holland. No,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: but Great Britain includes Scotland, England, Wales, Northern Ireland.
• 44:22
  Speaker 6: Your name is Vittorio, Yes, if I call you that'd
• 44:26
  Speaker 6: be weird if I call you Vic's short.
• 44:28

• 44:32

• 45:27
  Speaker 7: Mike Brown after the game, I mean after they won
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: the whole, the whole championship, and some reporter asked him,
• 45:33

• 45:37
