Transcript
- 0:04Speaker 1: It's a podcast called twenty five Playoffs.
- 0:08Speaker 2: And they were a whizz.
- 0:10Speaker 3: So yeah, it's too bad, but what did you expect.
- 0:13Speaker 1: It's a podcast called twenty five whistles.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Well, congrats, Kevin. Yeah, it's gonna.
- 0:22Speaker 1: Be good for me either the way. Either you're gonna
- 0:23Speaker 1: be in a good movie, you're gonna be mad oither way,
- 0:25Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun for me to come in here.
- 0:26Speaker 1: But again, all right, let's start. This is another surprise episode.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Since we are not tethered to anybody, we don't even
- 0:32Speaker 1: know if we're ever gonna do another show after this one.
- 0:35Speaker 1: That's how loose this is. Right now, it's just us
- 0:37Speaker 1: because let's go to game six. Though we're gonna get
- 0:41Speaker 1: in just a second. Mark Schleba on who is ESPN's
- 0:44Speaker 1: lead golf guy, and PJ Championship coming up. We'renna talk
- 0:46Speaker 1: some golf in a minute, but we got to talk
- 0:48Speaker 1: about playoffs. Game six happens, Tatum hadn't done crap through
- 0:53Speaker 1: three quarters, you get your butt's gotta be so puckered
- 0:56Speaker 1: because if Boston loses that game, it's over.
- 1:01Speaker 3: Walk me through the first three quarters.
- 1:04Speaker 1: And your main guy not being the main guy.
- 1:08Speaker 4: The first three quarters were a nightmare, torture everything, And
- 1:12Speaker 4: I said, Tatum, you just got to do something here.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:15Speaker 3: He nothing did something. You said that.
- 1:17Speaker 4: I called him and I said, Tatum, he was on
- 1:19Speaker 4: the bench. You gotta do something here because if not,
- 1:22Speaker 4: Bobby's gonna give me a lot of crap on the
- 1:23Speaker 4: podcast and I can't take that. And he listened.
- 1:25Speaker 3: I was hurting for you.
- 1:29Speaker 1: In that. Here's the difference, though, it because I never
- 1:31Speaker 1: want anybody to lose simply because it's their team. The
- 1:35Speaker 1: only thing that I get annoyed about with you is
- 1:37Speaker 1: not a youth thing. It's a Boston fan thing.
- 1:39Speaker 3: You guys are so entitled.
- 1:41Speaker 1: I think you're the most entitled sports city ever because
- 1:45Speaker 1: you've won so much, and because you're not like a
- 1:51Speaker 1: rich kid who's entitled because their parents grew up extremely
- 1:55Speaker 1: wealthy o their grandparents.
- 1:56Speaker 4: You've won a lot in your life.
- 1:57Speaker 1: You're like somebody who got rich and still expects to
- 2:01Speaker 1: be rich.
- 2:02Speaker 4: And there's a difference.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And then I respect that version of the sports fan
- 2:06Speaker 1: better than I do with somebody who was born into it.
- 2:10Speaker 1: So I still don't like you, but at least I
- 2:13Speaker 1: respect you. I get it because if the Patriots. I
- 2:17Speaker 1: am so said, I'm a Patriot fan. Oh my god,
- 2:20Speaker 1: do you know any championships you got to experience? All
- 2:23Speaker 1: of those with the Celtics, you got to So that's
- 2:27Speaker 1: the only Boston. So I'm jealous. It's like why I
- 2:31Speaker 1: hate Tennessee and Texas balls and Longhorns.
- 2:36Speaker 3: They win. It annoys me because they beat us. Sometimes.
- 2:39Speaker 1: Texas hasn't been that great as of late, but for
- 2:42Speaker 1: a lot of my life, Texas beat the crap out
- 2:43Speaker 1: of US. Tennessee same thing. So it's always like when
- 2:46Speaker 1: you hate a fan base, it's not because you actually
- 2:48Speaker 1: hate the people individually. It's mostly you're just annoyed because
- 2:51Speaker 1: they beat you. So I love Boston Boston sports fans.
- 2:57Speaker 1: I get really annoyed by that being said. I would
- 3:00Speaker 1: have enjoyed going m oh boo bootoo, is it hard today?
- 3:03Speaker 3: You lost but you didn't.
- 3:04Speaker 1: Tatum comes back as like, what he's scored like sixteen
- 3:06Speaker 1: and the fourth something like that.
- 3:07Speaker 4: Sixteen, Yeah, I think you have scored in sixteen twelve
- 3:09Speaker 4: by himself.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Unbelievable, and then after the game he was like, humbly,
- 3:13Speaker 1: I'm one of the best basketball players in the world,
- 3:15Speaker 1: and I was like, that's true.
- 3:17Speaker 3: That's true for sure.
- 3:18Speaker 1: So you go to Game seven in the daytime yesterday too.
- 3:23Speaker 4: That was an early game, right, Yeah. I loved it.
- 3:25Speaker 3: Yeah, on a Sunday.
- 3:26Speaker 4: Sunday, I get it.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I was just surprised for television's sake that they did
- 3:30Speaker 1: not put it a little bit later, even like a five,
- 3:35Speaker 1: you know game like primetime. But okay, so how you
- 3:38Speaker 1: feeling pre game? It was a fifty to fifty that's
- 3:42Speaker 1: pretty good becau Usually I'm like ten ninety any game
- 3:45Speaker 1: seven or like big game.
- 3:46Speaker 4: If it was in Philly, I would have been more
- 3:48Speaker 4: so on the other side for sure. But fifty to fifty.
- 3:50Speaker 4: I knew were at home. Jalen Brown called out the
- 3:52Speaker 4: home crowd, so I knew they'd be going crazy. And
- 3:55Speaker 4: once they got off to a slow start. Philly got
- 3:57Speaker 4: off to a good start in the first quarter and
- 3:58Speaker 4: or they were leading. I was like, oh no, here
- 4:00Speaker 4: we go again. And then second quarter got a little better.
- 4:04Speaker 4: They had to lead at halftime, and then a third
- 4:05Speaker 4: quarter they just took it and ran with it and
- 4:07Speaker 4: it was beautiful. I got a question for you.
- 4:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it was over quickly. Yeah, I mean, let me
- 4:13Speaker 3: say that again.
- 4:13Speaker 1: It wasn't over quickly, but it ended quicker than it
- 4:17Speaker 1: should have. Meaning yeah about the as not a fan
- 4:21Speaker 1: of either, and I was rooting for Boston really because
- 4:23Speaker 1: of you. Honestly, as it got into the third period,
- 4:26Speaker 1: like halfway through the third quarter or whatever, I was like, Oh, yeah,
- 4:28Speaker 1: this game's over. And I don't I rarely feel that
- 4:31Speaker 1: way in NBA games because because the shot clock is
- 4:34Speaker 1: so short, and I'm mostly a college basketball guy, but
- 4:37Speaker 1: because the shot clock is so short, things changed so
- 4:39Speaker 1: rapidly and ten twelve fift I feel like Doc Rivers
- 4:42Speaker 1: was just gave up when they were down nine, ten eleven,
- 4:46Speaker 1: twelve points.
- 4:46Speaker 3: I'm sure he didn't give up, he just looked so dejected.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I said I wasn't really worried about
- 4:51Speaker 4: Philly because I feel like, mentally, they just are not
- 4:54Speaker 4: prepared to handle situations like that, whether it's James Harden,
- 4:57Speaker 4: Doc Rivers, Joel Embiid and we saw at all in
- 5:00Speaker 4: Game seven, all three of those guys gave up as
- 5:02Speaker 4: soon as they got down by like you said, ten plus.
- 5:04Speaker 4: It was like, Nope, they're over, they're done, Send them home.
- 5:08Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, they're they're weak. Minds.
- 5:10Speaker 4: Yeah, they're weak minds exactly.
- 5:12Speaker 1: And now that whole place is gonna implode and Doc
- 5:14Speaker 1: Rivers wind up going to Milwaukee.
- 5:18Speaker 3: That's my prediction.
- 5:19Speaker 4: You can get fired in two years from No.
- 5:20Speaker 1: I mean I've heard that from like three different People's
- 5:21Speaker 1: why I say that three people are that I kind
- 5:23Speaker 1: of trust where they're like, we we would think that
- 5:25Speaker 1: Doc Rivers don't want to be in Philadelphia anymore and
- 5:27Speaker 1: go to Milwaukee.
- 5:29Speaker 3: Harden, what are they gonna do?
- 5:30Speaker 1: Matt pam Max Because I gotta pay him like one
- 5:34Speaker 1: hundred and eighty maybe a one hundred eighty. I'm get
- 5:36Speaker 1: my numbers mixed up. But you can't pay Harden for that.
- 5:39Speaker 3: Embiid. What are you gonna do with him? I mean,
- 5:41Speaker 3: he won the MVP.
- 5:43Speaker 1: You can trade him.
- 5:45Speaker 3: You could trade him. He'd love to go to New York.
- 5:47Speaker 3: He'd love to go to the next you.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Get some But again, if you're a Philly fan, do
- 5:52Speaker 1: you want your team if you lose your coach? Let's
- 5:54Speaker 1: say Harden goes to Houston and you have Embiid, are
- 5:57Speaker 1: you trusting the process again or would you rather see
- 6:01Speaker 1: them tank for a couple of years to build back
- 6:05Speaker 1: that's tough because I never want a tank, but I
- 6:07Speaker 1: also understand the tank.
- 6:09Speaker 3: But what was your question for me?
- 6:11Speaker 4: Mine was as a fan. So yesterday, third quarter, all right, halftime,
- 6:14Speaker 4: I get up, I start doing some stuff around my
- 6:16Speaker 4: place and cooking and whatnot. And then third quarter starts
- 6:19Speaker 4: and I haven't sat down yet, right, and they go
- 6:21Speaker 4: on this big run in the third quarter, So I
- 6:24Speaker 4: don't sit down until halfway through the fourth quarter.
- 6:27Speaker 3: You stayed up the whole time.
- 6:28Speaker 4: You understand, Like, is that weird you or is that
- 6:30Speaker 4: a normal thing for the Celtics.
- 6:31Speaker 3: I wouldn't do that crap, But if it's an Arkansas tan, yeah,
- 6:33Speaker 3: I gotta go on to.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Anything that I have been doing. It's part of the
- 6:40Speaker 1: formula of the game, and it's going right. I will
- 6:43Speaker 1: continue doing it if I'm doing because what I'll try
- 6:46Speaker 1: to do too during fall, because that's what college football
- 6:49Speaker 1: is happening. I do push because I have so much
- 6:52Speaker 1: nervous energy. I'll do push ups every commercial break, NonStop,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and I'll get to the first quarter and I start
- 6:57Speaker 1: to get a little fatigue. But if we're winning, I
- 7:00Speaker 1: will kill myself and I will continue to do push
- 7:02Speaker 1: ups at all costs. Yes, if I get really tired
- 7:04Speaker 1: and your chest gets all you know, you feel blown up,
- 7:07Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, I'm done.
- 7:09Speaker 3: Now I'm for losing.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I'm done because push up didn't help crep anyway. But
- 7:12Speaker 1: you never know, those push ups might have just been
- 7:13Speaker 1: doing the thing exactly. Congratulations, Thank you you guys.
- 7:17Speaker 3: And the Heat.
- 7:18Speaker 4: I'm scared of them.
- 7:19Speaker 3: No, you're not, And you wouldn't have been.
- 7:21Speaker 1: If I would have said to you're gonna play the
- 7:22Speaker 1: Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, you'd have been like, awesome.
- 7:25Speaker 1: You're scared of them because Jimmy Butler and because the
- 7:29Speaker 1: momentum they have.
- 7:30Speaker 3: But you're not scared of that team, not the team.
- 7:32Speaker 4: But they're a complete opposite of the Sixers when it
- 7:34Speaker 4: comes to mental strength and stability and being able to
- 7:37Speaker 4: handle the moment.
- 7:37Speaker 1: We're also opposite and talent it buls like they are
- 7:40Speaker 1: mental and I think spos is probably one of the
- 7:42Speaker 1: top three coaches.
- 7:43Speaker 3: In the NBA.
- 7:44Speaker 1: But they don't have the weapons that Philadelphia has, Milwaukee
- 7:51Speaker 1: has that we could list all those other teams in
- 7:52Speaker 1: the East. They have Jimmy Butler and they've got some
- 7:54Speaker 1: role players that have played really well so I know,
- 7:58Speaker 1: I'm pretty pumped for you. I feel like, God, I
- 8:00Speaker 1: feel like it's a fund I think it's what they
- 8:02Speaker 1: call it, gentlemen sweep.
- 8:03Speaker 3: Five games.
- 8:03Speaker 4: No way, I think it's a.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Five game gentlemen sweep.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I'm going total opposite from last series. I am scared.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You should be. It's time to be scared. Like last series,
- 8:12Speaker 1: You're like, no problem, we got this. I'm like, bro,
- 8:14Speaker 1: I'd never even say that. Even if I thought that,
- 8:16Speaker 1: I would never say it. Yes, you're petrified, Yeah, you're
- 8:19Speaker 1: petrified of getting swept.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I would say.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Yes, I'd be like, man, I'm just scared they're not
- 8:22Speaker 1: gonna get COVID and not even be able to play.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I'd go the total opposite. Well, congratulations, so we're set.
- 8:29Speaker 1: We're set with Over in the East, it's the bubble again.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I saw a graphic on ESPN. It's the rebubble. It's
- 8:35Speaker 1: the Lakers and the Nuggets and obviously the Heat and
- 8:38Speaker 1: the Celtics, but no COVID protocols.
- 8:40Speaker 3: Let's go.
- 8:41Speaker 4: It's the real thing.
- 8:42Speaker 1: They weren't masks in the back of their head instead
- 8:43Speaker 1: of the front of their faces. It's just the opposite Okay,
- 8:47Speaker 1: now before we move to the tittle title, give me
- 8:50Speaker 1: my credit on the Lakers.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Okay, you gave me my credit and you congratulated me,
- 8:54Speaker 4: so i'll congratulate you the Lakers. They surprised me. They
- 8:58Speaker 4: keep doing it and they won pretty again over the weekend.
- 9:02Speaker 4: So congratulations. I'll give you your credit. You called it,
- 9:05Speaker 4: and they've got one more series ago and then we'll
- 9:09Speaker 4: see no, no, no, no, we'll see.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I just told you their ceiling was winning at all, yes,
- 9:16Speaker 1: and you said their ceiling was the second round, so
- 9:18Speaker 1: they've passed your ceiling. If they lose, now, they didn't
- 9:21Speaker 1: go past my ceiling.
- 9:22Speaker 3: I'm the winner. Price is right.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Rules, you lost, you went over They went over mine,
- 9:27Speaker 4: but short of yours.
- 9:28Speaker 1: If they lose this round, price is right, rules, I
- 9:31Speaker 1: can get under. You just can't go over, and they
- 9:33Speaker 1: went over yours.
- 9:34Speaker 2: All right?
- 9:34Speaker 3: Did Let's go over to the tip tattle.
- 9:38Speaker 1: His name ever, the tittle Tattle?
- 9:45Speaker 4: All right? The Western Conference finals are set in the
- 9:47Speaker 4: battle of two big men going at it with Nicola
- 9:49Speaker 4: Jokic and Anthony Davis. Who is your favorite all time
- 9:52Speaker 4: big men in NBA history? George Marasan seven foot seven.
- 9:56Speaker 3: He's on my NBA two K team right now.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Okay, during the middle of the nineties, remember George Marissime
- 10:00Speaker 1: is massive. Sean Bradley too, Like those dudes were so tall,
- 10:06Speaker 1: but they were all so tall that they weren't even
- 10:08Speaker 1: effective because they were either so skinny. Mirason still, I mean,
- 10:11Speaker 1: they're both still alive, I think. But Minerson was seven
- 10:13Speaker 1: to seven. He was like ellegante, ellegante and wrestling No.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Seven foot seven, the giant Alegonte, the giant. No, no,
- 10:21Speaker 1: not giants. You need to stop not understanding wrestling sot if.
- 10:27Speaker 1: I got to pick my favorite big man ever, the
- 10:31Speaker 1: most unstoppable Squille O'Neil, I mean Shaquille late Orlando early Lakers. God,
- 10:40Speaker 1: he's awesome.
- 10:41Speaker 3: No, they had to.
- 10:43Speaker 1: They invented schemes just to try to slow him, or
- 10:48Speaker 1: they would just they would set their bench differently. They
- 10:51Speaker 1: would have players on their team that normally wouldn't make
- 10:54Speaker 1: a roster because they needed big men to just foul
- 10:57Speaker 1: them and they couldn't run out of fowls with the
- 10:59Speaker 1: big men that actually mattered. So you know, hack a shack,
- 11:02Speaker 1: so the d is they get him on the line,
- 11:04Speaker 1: but you can't have your starting center or power forward
- 11:08Speaker 1: or backup center. So what you do is you put
- 11:09Speaker 1: four freaking centers on the bench, and what do.
- 11:12Speaker 3: You do with the other two? You put him in.
- 11:13Speaker 1: You hack Shack and you get him at the free
- 11:14Speaker 1: throw line. It was like me on Dan Twinge of
- 11:17Speaker 1: the Stars.
- 11:17Speaker 3: I'll say it.
- 11:17Speaker 1: They changed the roles after I left. They changed them
- 11:19Speaker 1: for Shack. So Shack probably my favorite big man ever.
- 11:24Speaker 1: I just really didn't have a favorite because I have
- 11:27Speaker 1: a favorite team.
- 11:28Speaker 3: But Tim Duncan.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Legit just because he was so consistent. I mean, David
- 11:34Speaker 1: Robinson at one point they were together, which is crazy.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Shack though, just because he's also just
- 11:43Speaker 1: still fun now recency biased, he's the most likable for Yeah,
- 11:47Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Blue chips?
- 11:51Speaker 4: You know blue chips?
- 11:53Speaker 3: Are you out of your mind?
- 11:56Speaker 1: Oh my god?
- 11:58Speaker 4: What am I missing here?

- 12:01Speaker 1: Why am I doing a show with a kid? Is
- 12:03Speaker 1: this some science Mike? Is this some science project I'm
- 12:05Speaker 1: doing with like an elementary school kid? No one ever
- 12:06Speaker 1: told me this.
- 12:07Speaker 4: I wasn't aware of that.
- 12:08Speaker 3: Oh my god. Uh, Penny Hardaway, Yeah.
- 12:12Speaker 4: There we go.

- 13:57Speaker 1: You've heard a movie called The Program of Course, Don't
- 13:59Speaker 1: Don't have of Course.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Which I think is overrated.
- 14:02Speaker 1: By the way, for that time, it wasn't Ladder's back.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Laddimer was crazy at the time. It was Now it
- 14:11Speaker 3: probably doesn't hold up as well. But yeah, hey, when
- 14:13Speaker 3: he carried the football around they tried to.
- 14:16Speaker 1: It goes out and they're all diamond board in the hallway.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I love it that movie.
- 14:19Speaker 1: When I went to theaters. It had them laying in
- 14:20Speaker 1: the street as a team, laying in the middle. All
- 14:23Speaker 1: the cars would go by. But then some kids actually
- 14:25Speaker 1: tried it and they got run over, so they pulled
- 14:26Speaker 1: it out of the movie.
- 14:27Speaker 3: He never saw that scene, did you no heard about it?
- 14:30Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 14:30Speaker 3: Me too.
- 14:31Speaker 5: I wonder if that was even real. That was the story.
- 14:34Speaker 5: Everyone talked about that.
- 14:36Speaker 4: All right, next question, there c three and the Suns
- 14:38Speaker 4: were eliminated over the weekend from the playoffs. He has
- 14:41Speaker 4: still yet to win a championship. Who are some of
- 14:44Speaker 4: your favorites to never win a championship? I just wish
- 14:46Speaker 4: Charles Barkley would have won a ring. We're talking about
- 14:48Speaker 4: Shack still being likable.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I wish Barkley would have won a ring so people
- 14:51Speaker 1: would shut up as that argument against him, even when
- 14:53Speaker 1: they're arguing literally against him, ain't got no rings. Who
- 14:57Speaker 1: he was still one of the most dominant players ever
- 15:00Speaker 1: ever as a forward, just almost those Phoenix teams almost.
- 15:07Speaker 3: But I wish Charles Barkley had a ring. Didn't that Nash?
- 15:12Speaker 1: Did he leave Dallas before they won that ring?
- 15:16Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 15:17Speaker 3: He left before they I know.
- 15:19Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, they went to the Suns and they made
- 15:21Speaker 4: their runs and got stopped by the Lakers every year.
- 15:24Speaker 1: M and then Karl Malone. He went to Ring Chase
- 15:28Speaker 1: with the Lakers, but they didn't win it with him,
- 15:30Speaker 1: did they. That's three Hall of famers for sure, Probably
- 15:34Speaker 1: Charles Barklay. That's my favorite guy. Who's never won. Also,
- 15:37Speaker 1: I've never won a ring, and I'm kind of my
- 15:39Speaker 1: favorite so won a mirror ball though, Yeah, but I
- 15:41Speaker 1: didn't win an NBA Championship ring. Mirorball is above that.
- 15:44Speaker 1: But I still haven't won the NBA Championship ring.
- 15:46Speaker 3: All right? What else?
- 15:47Speaker 4: When the talks of Brady become part owner of the Raiders,
- 15:49Speaker 4: if you could own one franchise, who to be part owner?
- 15:55Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 15:55Speaker 3: My mind. Listen.
- 15:56Speaker 1: If I'm going with the what's the what's the smartest
- 15:58Speaker 1: team to own? It would be the Dallas Cowboys.
- 16:01Speaker 3: Play me.
- 16:02Speaker 1: We play your clubs all the time. You do anytime
- 16:04Speaker 1: I talk about the Cowboys, I'm.
- 16:05Speaker 4: Like, weating boys.
- 16:08Speaker 3: That's awesome.
- 16:08Speaker 1: When I was at the ACMs this past week, they said, hey,
- 16:11Speaker 1: the team wants to talk I was doing all the press.
- 16:12Speaker 1: They were like, you need to skip this and come
- 16:14Speaker 1: out with us. The team wants to talk to you.
- 16:16Speaker 3: The Dallas Cowboys. Yeah, the team. Yeah.
- 16:18Speaker 1: And I was like wait what They're like, yes, can
- 16:21Speaker 1: you skip some of the interviews here because the Red
- 16:23Speaker 1: Carpenter is a bunch of interviews after pictures of the
- 16:25Speaker 1: team want to talk to you.
- 16:26Speaker 3: And I just talked to Dak Prescott. He was super cool.
- 16:28Speaker 1: And so I walk out and walk all the way
- 16:30Speaker 1: around to the backside of the building and I walk
- 16:31Speaker 1: over and I'm literally looking for a bunch of guys
- 16:33Speaker 1: in football, like they take their team picture. That's what
- 16:37Speaker 1: I think I'm walking into. It was the team media
- 16:40Speaker 1: who wanted to talk to me.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Oh dang, dude, I.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Thought I was walking into like the picture of the
- 16:45Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be all of them.
- 16:47Speaker 3: There's no team.
- 16:47Speaker 1: There was a team media, all right, So probably would
- 16:50Speaker 1: be the Cowboys in football, you know, obviously the Yankees
- 16:53Speaker 1: and baseball. But I'm not a big fan. I don't
- 16:55Speaker 1: like the Yankees at all. I'm but I heard Cowboys
- 16:57Speaker 1: fan for the last eight months or so of my life. Yeah,
- 16:59Speaker 1: you are got a I always had on Now you
- 17:00Speaker 1: can't even tell though, mm because I got a bunch
- 17:03Speaker 1: of free stuff from my guy, Tad Cowboys merch.
- 17:06Speaker 3: Yeah, that's already got his DC for this Cobys.
- 17:09Speaker 4: For like Pat Cowboys this year.
- 17:10Speaker 3: Just thrown out there the Cubs. Okay, well you said
- 17:15Speaker 3: the Yankees already.
- 17:15Speaker 1: They gotta pick no for me personally if it's like
- 17:17Speaker 1: what team, But I if I were just like you
- 17:19Speaker 1: can have it part of any.
- 17:20Speaker 3: Team and you can sell it.
- 17:23Speaker 1: In ten years, it'd be the Cowboys, the Yankees, but
- 17:25Speaker 1: if it looks like for fun, it would be the Cubs.
- 17:27Speaker 3: Do you think if you own the Cubs, you would want.
- 17:29Speaker 1: To like if you wants to be on the show
- 17:30Speaker 1: now I said, he's hopping out.
- 17:35Speaker 3: Would you want to like change the stadium and like
- 17:36Speaker 3: upgrade a little bit? They have upgraded it, but.
- 17:39Speaker 5: Like for real, for real because as a fan, I
- 17:42Speaker 5: think we all love it, but I wonder if the
- 17:44Speaker 5: players like it.
- 17:47Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is I'm gonna go and go
- 17:50Speaker 1: back and do all that this year. I've never actually
- 17:53Speaker 1: been in the guts of Wrigley, I thought the first
- 17:54Speaker 1: pitch before I've been to Wrigley to watch games. I've
- 17:56Speaker 1: never like gone I got to hang out, and I'm
- 17:57Speaker 1: gonna go do that. This year got a pretty cool
- 18:00Speaker 1: action and it sucks to go. It's the worst, but
- 18:03Speaker 1: it makes it the best of all the stadiums because
- 18:06Speaker 1: it's not you can only do so much.
- 18:08Speaker 3: Yeah it's not. There are there are, but I.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Don't that place will never change, I don't think. But
- 18:15Speaker 1: like Yankee Stadium, they completely.
- 18:17Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it's it's legit. No, the new one,
- 18:21Speaker 3: the new ones. It's okay, it's but it's not old.
- 18:24Speaker 5: No, no, no, I mean yeah, yeah, they moved to the Bronx.
- 18:28Speaker 3: I guess is that where it is. I just went
- 18:29Speaker 3: like two years ago on the subway and it's like right there,
- 18:31Speaker 3: it's a legit. I loved it. I mean it's great. Yeah,
- 18:33Speaker 3: but it's not. It's it's like too clean and ster alone.
- 18:37Speaker 4: I mean it's like two Have you been to Fenway?
- 18:39Speaker 3: I've been to Fenway.
- 18:39Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 18:40Speaker 3: I like Fenway.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I know that you obviously do, since you're Red Sox
- 18:42Speaker 1: fan all Boston all the time. But they've done a
- 18:45Speaker 1: pretty good job up dating ish Fenway.
- 18:49Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:49Speaker 4: I mean it's old. It has old field too, but
- 18:50Speaker 4: that's what makes it so great.
- 18:51Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:52Speaker 3: All right, what else?
- 18:53Speaker 4: Last one? Did you have a favorite NFL schedule release
- 18:55Speaker 4: video over the weekend?
- 18:56Speaker 2: Oh?
- 18:56Speaker 3: Yeah, have the Titans? Easily?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Because they went to drunk people and they were like,
- 18:59Speaker 1: who's this team, like the Lightning McQueen's No, it was
- 19:01Speaker 1: the Chargers, the sixty nine ers fantasy team, sixty nine ers. Yeah,
- 19:07Speaker 1: the Titans. One went viral. Yeah, there are a lot of
- 19:09Speaker 1: them were shown a lot and they were pretty cool.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Like the Chargers had an anime one, which I like anime,
- 19:13Speaker 1: but it like.
- 19:14Speaker 3: All over the world.
- 19:16Speaker 1: It was a big deal because people like the anime.
- 19:18Speaker 1: But yeah, the Titans was awesome. Then they went drunk people,
- 19:21Speaker 1: I want my buddies. I guess that shows you how
- 19:22Speaker 1: much Titans fans like their own team in football. I'm like, no,
- 19:25Speaker 1: those aren't Titans fans. They're just drunk people from out
- 19:27Speaker 1: of town. And the people they went to the probably
- 19:30Speaker 1: got the right answers. They didn't put on the club.
- 19:32Speaker 1: It wasn't like we're going to talk to twenty people
- 19:34Speaker 1: only and we'll put them up. It was like, no,
- 19:36Speaker 1: you find the most entertaining ones and you put them
- 19:37Speaker 1: up there. Yes, So the Titans one was awesome.
- 19:39Speaker 4: I love it.
- 19:40Speaker 3: Ah, there you go. That's Tittle Tata stupid his name ever,
- 19:44Speaker 3: the Tittle Town.
- 19:47Speaker 2: All right.
- 19:48Speaker 1: The reason Eddie came in the room Mark sleighballs here,
- 19:51Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to him in the second. He is
- 19:53Speaker 1: ESPN's lead golf rider covering PGA Tour and live golf
- 19:57Speaker 1: reporting from the PGA Championship all week. Following my Twitter
- 20:00Speaker 1: at Mark Underscore slave Ball. He's written a whole bunch
- 20:03Speaker 1: of books. But he's the golf guy. We wanted to
- 20:06Speaker 1: talk golf. Let's do it now here he is and Mark,
- 20:08Speaker 1: how's it going?
- 20:09Speaker 3: Man? Hey? Good? I got I got a lot of
- 20:12Speaker 3: stuff to ask you.
- 20:12Speaker 1: First of all, when you get out to a major
- 20:15Speaker 1: and it's a Monday, in your Monday, Tuesday winds three
- 20:19Speaker 1: days or so away, like, how serious are these guys
- 20:22Speaker 1: this early in the week.
- 20:25Speaker 2: I think they're pretty serious. I mean, especially in a
- 20:27Speaker 2: place like Okaill where they're you know, they just just
- 20:32Speaker 2: over had a renovation and grains have been moved, the
- 20:35Speaker 2: buckers have been removed and these have been backed up.
- 20:38Speaker 2: So I think the going out and playing nine the
- 20:41Speaker 2: next couple of days and then playing some holes on
- 20:44Speaker 2: Wednesday is pretty important, just in terms of preparation.
- 20:47Speaker 1: I got to play the Pebble Beach Prom last year
- 20:49Speaker 1: and the first time i'd been out as the caddies
- 20:51Speaker 1: were also out.
- 20:52Speaker 3: You know, they had to have their notepads.
- 20:53Speaker 1: The caddies are out by themselves, just walking around making
- 20:56Speaker 1: notes on things. But if their course has been renovated,
- 20:58Speaker 1: are they like doing double time time now?
- 21:00Speaker 3: But since they have no experience there at all.
- 21:02Speaker 2: Yeah, some guys are, I mean, some guys have been
- 21:05Speaker 2: out and played it. I saw Phil Nicholson was out.
- 21:09Speaker 2: I think it was last week up in Rochester getting
- 21:12Speaker 2: his first look at it, so definitely. I mean, you know,
- 21:15Speaker 2: it's been ten years since a PGA Championship was played
- 21:19Speaker 2: in Rochester, so there wasn't gonna be a lot of
- 21:22Speaker 2: familiarity with it. Anyway.
- 21:24Speaker 1: Jason Day wins the tournament yesterday. How legitimate is momentum
- 21:29Speaker 1: in golf? Because if I gonna play a week two
- 21:32Speaker 1: days later, sometimes that sucked the next time I play.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Is momentum golf a real thing?
- 21:35Speaker 2: Yeah? I think, I mean, I think it is for
- 21:37Speaker 2: the for these guys, probably not as much for you
- 21:39Speaker 2: and I Like, you know, I played four days in
- 21:42Speaker 2: a row. I'm throwing up ninety eight hundred the last
- 21:44Speaker 2: day usually, But you know, if you're not Tiger Woods,
- 21:49Speaker 2: you know, winning a tournament and then winning a major
- 21:52Speaker 2: the next week doesn't happen very often. A few guys
- 21:54Speaker 2: other than Tiger have done it, but I think nowadays
- 21:58Speaker 2: you just put so much focus and mental you know,
- 22:03Speaker 2: into into getting the thing done on Sunday, it's really
- 22:06Speaker 2: tough to bounce back the next week.
- 22:07Speaker 1: When the Masters happened and the Lived guys were out
- 22:10Speaker 1: and the PGA guys were out. I mean, was there
- 22:13Speaker 1: any actual real animosity between the human beings while that
- 22:18Speaker 1: was happening.
- 22:19Speaker 2: No. I mean, you know, I think some guys like
- 22:23Speaker 2: some PGA tour guys like some live guys better than others.
- 22:26Speaker 2: I think most of them get along with Dustin Johnson
- 22:30Speaker 2: and and Brooks Kepka and guys like that, and then
- 22:33Speaker 2: they don't as much like Patrick Reed and Georgio Garcia
- 22:37Speaker 2: and some others. But I think from a personal standpoint,
- 22:40Speaker 2: I don't think there's much animosity. I just think guys
- 22:43Speaker 2: got pissed off that the live guys decided to pursue
- 22:46Speaker 2: the PGA tour.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Do you think Patrick Freed's a cheater?
- 22:49Speaker 2: I don't want to join the law, super Bobby. Someone
- 22:52Speaker 2: keep my mouth.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Okay, okay, somehow.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Somehow I have not been named a 's defamation lawsuit
- 23:00Speaker 2: about every other media entity out there.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Now, I'm telling you I'll watch those clips. I mean,
- 23:04Speaker 3: I let the video speak for yeah, yeah.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I mean, that's good's crazy, Patrick creed Man, that's not
- 23:10Speaker 1: my guy.
- 23:10Speaker 3: But here uh, so here we go. It's this week
- 23:13Speaker 3: John Ram number one.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Yesterday if because Jason day one and we if we
- 23:19Speaker 1: would have seen Scheffler one, he would he did jump
- 23:22Speaker 1: to number one in the world.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Who's hotter right now though, rom or Scheffler?
- 23:25Speaker 2: I think John Rahm, I think you know, I think
- 23:28Speaker 2: Scotty's cooled off a bit, but still the best two
- 23:31Speaker 2: players in the world right now. Certainly Rory mcroy's taking
- 23:35Speaker 2: a step back after the Masters and is still trying
- 23:38Speaker 2: to get thanks right between the years. But I just
- 23:41Speaker 2: think John Ram, with the way he's hit it off
- 23:45Speaker 2: the tee, his iron play, you know, work around the greens,
- 23:49Speaker 2: which used to not be one of his strengths. See,
- 23:51Speaker 2: you know, six worldwide victories to go.
- 23:53Speaker 1: With you have relationships with these guys because you're not
- 23:55Speaker 1: covering them so much, it's just hard not to have
- 23:57Speaker 1: relationships with them. Do you ever get a chance to
- 23:59Speaker 1: go out and do and any sort of practice round
- 24:01Speaker 1: with them under the guys of hey.
- 24:02Speaker 3: This is work.
- 24:03Speaker 2: No, not as an actual tournament. I've played some rounds
- 24:08Speaker 2: with off weeks or during those still winner or whatever.
- 24:12Speaker 2: It's probably not a more intimidating thing.
- 24:14Speaker 3: To do you cut out? Who'd you say there?
- 24:17Speaker 2: No, I just said some guys got it fast.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Oh so when you see Rory in person, I've never
- 24:22Speaker 1: seen Rory in person.
- 24:23Speaker 3: Is he jacked? Does he always wear tight shirts?
- 24:25Speaker 2: He's pretty jacked and he puts in the effort. You know,
- 24:29Speaker 2: he's a smaller guy stature wise, but he's pretty ripped. Yeah.
- 24:34Speaker 3: To me, is Tiger still ripped upper body though?
- 24:39Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Tiger's ripped. Not as much as he once was,
- 24:42Speaker 2: but he is.
- 24:43Speaker 1: I hear stories of when Tiger walks through the clubhouse
- 24:46Speaker 1: from some of my friends who play or are part
- 24:49Speaker 1: of the tour, and Tiger still rolls with a pretty
- 24:52Speaker 1: big one rush security mostly, do you kind of know
- 24:56Speaker 1: Tiger's coming before he's coming? I guess I saw Drake
- 24:59Speaker 1: once at a restaurant. All of a sudden, there was
- 25:01Speaker 1: all these security guys were like, well, somebody's about to
- 25:03Speaker 1: show up, and then Drake showed up. Is that how
- 25:04Speaker 1: Tiger is?
- 25:06Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, yeah, it's it's there's there's about ten to
- 25:09Speaker 2: fifteen media people that regularly covers the tour or whatever
- 25:13Speaker 2: Tiger shows up as where most of the the media
- 25:15Speaker 2: folks are too.
- 25:17Speaker 1: All right, here we are it's another major. If you
- 25:19Speaker 1: had to pick one, what's a rhyme with that? We're
- 25:21Speaker 1: not gonna make you pick one. What's a rhyme with?
- 25:23Speaker 3: Who do you like?
- 25:25Speaker 2: One?
- 25:25Speaker 3: Two? Three?
- 25:25Speaker 1: Give me three guys that you feel like if you
- 25:27Speaker 1: were rhyming, who you rhyme their name with?
- 25:30Speaker 2: Uh, Feffler, Tom, okay? And who would be the third one? Awfully,
- 25:41Speaker 2: I'll let you figure that one out shofly.
- 25:45Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, there is Eddie. What's up? Turn your mike,
- 25:49Speaker 3: come buddy, Hey, Mark, how's it going? Man?
- 25:51Speaker 5: A quick question just about Ricky Fowler. Like, in the
- 25:54Speaker 5: past few years of Ricky Fowler, it's been tough, you know,
- 25:56Speaker 5: not making a lot of cuts. But this season you
- 25:59Speaker 5: start to see a little more Ricky now, Like what
- 26:01Speaker 5: have you talked to him or do you know what
- 26:02Speaker 5: he's been doing different?
- 26:03Speaker 3: I mean he's playing a lot better golf.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the deal with Ricky people have told
- 26:07Speaker 2: me to deal with Ricky over the years, was you
- 26:08Speaker 2: just never really wanted to put in the practice time.
- 26:10Speaker 2: He's just one of those guys that wanted to go
- 26:13Speaker 2: out and play and didn't really want to grind on
- 26:15Speaker 2: the range and work on the technical parts of the game,
- 26:17Speaker 2: and I think with maturity he's kind of turned the
- 26:20Speaker 2: corner with that. I know he was working with John Tillery,
- 26:24Speaker 2: a swing coach, and they broke up and he's with
- 26:27Speaker 2: a different guy now, But got back into the top
- 26:29Speaker 2: fifty in the world, and you know, he's got a
- 26:31Speaker 2: chance to get in the other majors this summer. So
- 26:33Speaker 2: certainly a resurgence as well for him.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Let me ask you how swing coaches in general. A
- 26:39Speaker 1: swing coach that because we see them out on the road,
- 26:42Speaker 1: out on tour with these guys, like, did there swings
- 26:46Speaker 1: change that much week to week? Like really, the intricacies
- 26:50Speaker 1: of the swing I get it, because I don't have
- 26:52Speaker 1: whatever interesacy you need to be consistently good. What's a
- 26:54Speaker 1: swing coach's job day to day with a person.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Basically to keep bad thought out of their heads? I think,
- 27:01Speaker 2: I mean most of these guys, the really good guys
- 27:05Speaker 2: have a swing coach, a putting coach, a short game coach,
- 27:09Speaker 2: a trainer, a chef, and everything else. But swing coach,
- 27:13Speaker 2: I think, is a lot of it's just keeping bad
- 27:15Speaker 2: thoughts out of his head, keeping good ones in there,
- 27:18Speaker 2: and then making sure.
- 27:18Speaker 1: They're final confidence, any one of those for life, any therapist,
- 27:22Speaker 1: just travel when I tour. Dang, what about you watch
- 27:25Speaker 1: Full Swing? Do you get a chance to watch that?
- 27:27Speaker 3: I'm sure you did, right, I watched.
- 27:28Speaker 2: I watched most of it. My daughters watched all of it.
- 27:31Speaker 1: What did you feel, who did you feel was most
- 27:33Speaker 1: accurately represented, and who did you feel came off most
- 27:36Speaker 1: likable that we learned about for the first time?
- 27:39Speaker 2: Yeah? I love I love the episode with Joel Damon moved.
- 27:43Speaker 2: Not a lot of people know, but the guy that
- 27:45Speaker 2: overcame cancer, you know, it's Caddie's a really good dude.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Few is another one. Tony Fenw just a family guy.
- 27:53Speaker 2: I wrote today, it wouldn't surprise me to d f
- 27:56Speaker 2: now seats sixty five on Thursday, and then he take
- 27:58Speaker 2: his kids to ny Or Falls. That's just the way
- 28:01Speaker 2: he rolls. They're at every tournament with him.
- 28:03Speaker 3: But h Yeah, I.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Think brooks Kopka A lots of people don't like him,
- 28:08Speaker 2: but I don't think he was portrayed very favorably in that,
- 28:12Speaker 2: and he kind of moaned about it at Augusta National.
- 28:15Speaker 2: But he could be a factor here this week as well.
- 28:18Speaker 2: He's playing really well and it's hitting the hits the
- 28:21Speaker 2: ball far, and you're gonna have to hit it far
- 28:22Speaker 2: and head it straight here off the tea to have
- 28:24Speaker 2: a chance.
- 28:25Speaker 1: Well, I wasn't a Kepka fan. I wasn't a Kepta
- 28:27Speaker 1: hater until I watch Full Swing. I can't stand Kepka
- 28:30Speaker 1: because of how I don't have his portrayed or if
- 28:32Speaker 1: they just kept listen. I did a reality show once
- 28:34Speaker 1: and I knew anything I said could be used, but
- 28:36Speaker 1: anything I couldn't say couldn't be used because you can't
- 28:39Speaker 1: they can't use what you don't say.
- 28:41Speaker 3: So he said all this stuff.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I'm not sure if he feels like he was accurately
- 28:44Speaker 1: portrayed or not, but god, dang man, I finished that
- 28:46Speaker 1: and I was like, I do not like that, dude.
- 28:49Speaker 2: I think at that point he was really really vulnerable.
- 28:52Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's the only reason he went
- 28:54Speaker 2: to live other than the money, was he thought he
- 28:56Speaker 2: was done. He thought his knee was toasted and they
- 28:58Speaker 2: were gonna be able to compete with the young kids anymore.
- 29:00Speaker 2: And I think he was just so vulnerable at that moment.
- 29:03Speaker 2: If that's how he he came across, but you know,
- 29:07Speaker 2: it's he still got something left in the tank. You
- 29:09Speaker 2: approved to that Augusta.
- 29:10Speaker 1: So are you telling me and only got two more questions?
- 29:12Speaker 2: Here?
- 29:13Speaker 4: Are you telling me I should like him more than
- 29:14Speaker 4: I do?
- 29:15Speaker 3: Mark?
- 29:16Speaker 2: I think you should probably like him more than you
- 29:18Speaker 2: like Patrick Reid.
- 29:20Speaker 4: I'm telling you they ain't very like.
- 29:24Speaker 3: All right, So what do you do all week you're there?
- 29:26Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's freaking Monday and this thing.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Doesn't even start till Thursday, and then you're there till Sunday.
- 29:31Speaker 1: Like they give you a nice hotel, You're there for
- 29:33Speaker 1: a whole week.
- 29:34Speaker 3: When I'm gone for a week.
- 29:35Speaker 2: I'm yeah, it's it's it's a Monday to Monday deal.
- 29:39Speaker 2: And I do like six or seven of these every summer.
- 29:42Speaker 2: You know it's good. It's Look, I'm going to La
- 29:46Speaker 2: Country Club for the US Open, I'm going to Liverpool
- 29:49Speaker 2: for the Open Championship, and then I'm heading over to
- 29:51Speaker 2: Rome for the Ryder Cup. There are worse places to be,
- 29:54Speaker 2: but yeah, it's a long week. I'll walk holes with
- 29:56Speaker 2: guys in practice rounds if I'm working on a story
- 30:01Speaker 2: on a specific guy. But you know, it's it's not bad.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Let me ask him on final question, not about golf.
- 30:08Speaker 1: But uh, when you've written so many books. But I
- 30:12Speaker 1: do want to ask about Duck Dynasty and the time
- 30:14Speaker 1: that you spent with those folks. What was your takeaway
- 30:17Speaker 1: after finishing your time with them.
- 30:20Speaker 2: I talked to one of them a couple of weeks ago.
- 30:23Speaker 2: I mean, probably one of the biggest surprises and successes
- 30:27Speaker 2: of my career that I think we ended up doing
- 30:30Speaker 2: seven books with him. And I just remember I went
- 30:34Speaker 2: out to do Phil, Willie and Corey's book and they
- 30:38Speaker 2: said Phil wanted to see me. So I went out
- 30:40Speaker 2: to feel Phil's home on the river and he said, well,
- 30:44Speaker 2: if you're smart enough to write Willy's book, you're smart
- 30:46Speaker 2: enough to write my book. And we were eating dinner
- 30:48Speaker 2: and I took a bit a piece of fried chicken
- 30:51Speaker 2: and Phil looked at me and he said, schlebo, it's
- 30:53Speaker 2: going to be a rough winner. And I said, why
- 30:55Speaker 2: is that? He said that squirrel, you just ain't had
- 30:57Speaker 2: extra thick fur.
- 31:01Speaker 1: Hey, I appreciate the time, have a great week. It's
- 31:04Speaker 1: the beginning of the grind for you too, so I
- 31:05Speaker 1: respect it. I appreciate it, and uh, yeah, hope to
- 31:08Speaker 1: talk to you soon. All right, Schedule release its on
- 31:12Speaker 1: like a bigger deal this year, like they built it
- 31:14Speaker 1: up more because they've even had a day of we're
- 31:16Speaker 1: going to give you the day when we give you
- 31:18Speaker 1: the day of the schedule release.
- 31:21Speaker 3: So and eventually, because I used to.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Think the draft, although interesting, it wasn't something I would
- 31:27Speaker 1: ever watch more than a pick. But now the draft
- 31:32Speaker 1: is the thing we sit, we watch. We eventually they're
- 31:35Speaker 1: going to make a TV show out of the schedule release. Yeah,
- 31:38Speaker 1: and it's gonna be like the big game from week one,
- 31:42Speaker 1: or what I think they should do is do the
- 31:43Speaker 1: schedule release.
- 31:44Speaker 3: But they've got.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Three teams sitting together, full pads, and they go and
- 31:53Speaker 1: they go, okay, Jets, Bills and like the Colts, and
- 31:59Speaker 1: they're like Colts, you're free to go. And the Jets
- 32:01Speaker 1: and the Bills got to play each other right then,
- 32:03Speaker 1: right after the schedule release show and they play in.
- 32:07Speaker 1: The winner of that game is I don't know how
- 32:11Speaker 1: to feel superowl some some like fun thing. But they
- 32:14Speaker 1: don't get stretch or anything. It's just like you're in,
- 32:17Speaker 1: you're cold, put your pads on, playball and then loser
- 32:20Speaker 1: gets killed.
- 32:21Speaker 3: The killing.
- 32:23Speaker 4: We're doing the old Roman day funk.
- 32:25Speaker 1: It's like for sure, like Hunger Games type stuff.
- 32:27Speaker 3: But eventually they're gonna make this a show, right.
- 32:28Speaker 4: Oh yeah. Even NFL Network has a program where it's
- 32:31Speaker 4: like you got to release it. Yeah, I mean, but
- 32:34Speaker 4: like not a legit, but it's gonna get It's.
- 32:36Speaker 3: Like Selection Sunday, that's a show. The NFL Draft, that's
- 32:39Speaker 3: a show.
- 32:39Speaker 1: We could look forward to all that, but I have
- 32:42Speaker 1: here a few teams will go over the over unders.
- 32:44Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals over under eleven and a half games, and again,
- 32:48Speaker 1: I'm not looking at the whole schedule, so you just
- 32:49Speaker 1: going by gut.
- 32:50Speaker 3: I'm not gonna hold you to it.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals over eleven and a half, I'm gonna go
- 32:53Speaker 1: over over. Can't say the Chiefs over eleven and a
- 32:56Speaker 1: half over yeah, proved me you're not gonna be awesome
- 32:59Speaker 1: over Yeah. Forty nine ers over under under. I go
- 33:02Speaker 1: under too, only because what's gonna happen in a quarterback?
- 33:04Speaker 1: We do not know if the season started now, I
- 33:09Speaker 1: guess they're Sam Donald will be their starter. Yeah, just
- 33:14Speaker 1: because of injuries. I don't think anybody else could play, right.
- 33:19Speaker 4: No, I don't know if Trey Lands is going to
- 33:20Speaker 4: be good to go right now today, Oh, right now.
- 33:22Speaker 1: Donald would have to be the starter. Would if we
- 33:24Speaker 1: did my game for a TV show, Yes, and it
- 33:26Speaker 1: was a forty nine er. Sam Donald would have to
- 33:27Speaker 1: play the game. Sam Jaguars over under ten and a half.
- 33:33Speaker 4: Over, just because that division is so bad.
- 33:35Speaker 1: That's what I was gonna say. They also have some promise,
- 33:38Speaker 1: but they're still the Jaguars. It's like we saw them
- 33:41Speaker 1: last year versus all the other years we've seen them.
- 33:45Speaker 1: And then, yeah, the division is so bad, let's go
- 33:48Speaker 1: with Buffalo Bills over under ten and a half.
- 33:52Speaker 4: Over, but not by much. Eleven wins.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Funny that we found out now that Josh Allen and
- 33:57Speaker 1: the reason that he was getting yelled at on the
- 33:59Speaker 1: sideline was because he was obviously his head wasn't in
- 34:01Speaker 1: because his girlfriend had found out he was cheating on
- 34:05Speaker 1: her the day before.
- 34:07Speaker 3: Oh you don't know that.
- 34:08Speaker 4: I didn't see that waiting what it's the whole story
- 34:11Speaker 4: now in May.
- 34:13Speaker 1: No, but she found out the day before that playoff
- 34:16Speaker 1: game they lost, and I don't know who was receiver
- 34:19Speaker 1: a running back, somebody was yelling at him on the sidelines.
- 34:22Speaker 1: It was Diggs, yes, but that's what happened so apparently
- 34:27Speaker 1: allegedly where on the street is I'm gonna all those terms.
- 34:32Speaker 1: His girl found out that he was cheating on her.
- 34:34Speaker 1: They've been together since high school and she like pieced out.
- 34:39Speaker 1: And that was right when the playoffs were happening. Oh wow,
- 34:42Speaker 1: terrible game. I did not hear anything about that. Yeah,
- 34:45Speaker 1: keep your weani, honest, I didn't happen, you know what
- 34:48Speaker 1: I'm saying, Buffalo Bill to do that one Eagles over
- 34:51Speaker 1: under ten and a half.
- 34:52Speaker 3: I'm gonna go under. Controversial pick.
- 34:54Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys, I think the Commanders, I think
- 34:58Speaker 1: the Giants.
- 34:58Speaker 3: That's a pretty good division.
- 35:00Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll go under as well.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Pretty good division.
- 35:03Speaker 1: The bottom barrel teams, the Cardinals and the Texans having
- 35:06Speaker 1: over under a five and a half. You know, I'm
- 35:07Speaker 1: gonna go Texans over. I think they get six to
- 35:09Speaker 1: seven wins, not because C. J.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Stroud, but because.
- 35:17Speaker 1: They Yeah, I think See Shouds is an upgrade though too,
- 35:21Speaker 1: even though he's a rookie.
- 35:24Speaker 3: I'm gonna go.
- 35:24Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm going on, if he's going on,
- 35:26Speaker 1: I'm just kind of talking myself into not. But yeah,
- 35:28Speaker 1: they're they're division with the Colts, the Jaguars, and the Titans.
- 35:34Speaker 1: The Titans might be pretty good. See I'm going under
- 35:37Speaker 1: I've changed your mind, Live Live, Live under the Yeah,
- 35:40Speaker 1: all right? Cool?
- 35:41Speaker 2: Uh?
- 35:42Speaker 3: Tatum dropped fifty one.
- 35:42Speaker 1: We talked about Celtics whip up on the Sixers. The
- 35:47Speaker 1: Celtics win in the East. Boy, that Lakers Nuggets serious
- 35:50Speaker 1: gonna be good?
- 35:51Speaker 4: How do you feel about that going in because it's
- 35:53Speaker 4: such a big Lakers guy.
- 35:55Speaker 1: I'm not a big Lakers guy. I just think that
- 35:57Speaker 1: I bet them than to make the playoffs. I'd like
- 35:59Speaker 1: to see the Ron won another ring, only because I
- 36:02Speaker 1: love it's not controversy, but I love when there's something
- 36:07Speaker 1: to talk about, and mostly people are like Jordan over Lebron.
- 36:12Speaker 1: That's probably sixty five thirty five if you were to
- 36:14Speaker 1: just put a straight gauge over all of America and
- 36:17Speaker 1: who they feel is the rights of all time. If
- 36:20Speaker 1: Lebron wins another ring, it's probably then fifty five to
- 36:24Speaker 1: forty five Michael still because people that are older and
- 36:28Speaker 1: saw Michael are getting hold onto that.
- 36:32Speaker 3: But if Lebron wants another ring, that's trouble him. He's
- 36:34Speaker 3: got the scoring record.
- 36:37Speaker 1: That's why I like though I want to see that
- 36:38Speaker 1: because I want there to be an argument and football
- 36:40Speaker 1: there is no argument anymore, Tom Brady, that's gonna be
- 36:44Speaker 1: a good one.
- 36:45Speaker 3: What I want, that's all. I want the Lakers to win.
- 36:46Speaker 3: But man, Yoki is so good.
- 36:47Speaker 4: I can't wait to see yo get so.
- 36:49Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like somebody playing pick up all does all
- 36:51Speaker 1: the funny stuff, but he's making it against NBA teams. Yeah,
- 36:54Speaker 1: so that's what's up. Thank you very much. Let's close
- 36:57Speaker 1: it out right.
- 36:59Speaker 3: Closing remark, Kevin, what do you have?
- 37:02Speaker 4: I watched speaking of Jordan, I watched the movie air
- 37:05Speaker 4: over the weekend watching Amazon Amazon, Yes, and it was awesome.
- 37:08Speaker 4: I know Mike's talked about it a little bit and
- 37:10Speaker 4: he liked it. It was really, really, really good.
- 37:14Speaker 3: What did the theater? Watched it and I never want
- 37:16Speaker 3: to go to theater again.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Before I was never going already sport off and I
- 37:20Speaker 1: went and I enjoyed it, and I'm never going back.
- 37:21Speaker 1: Some guy was like cheering along with her, like I
- 37:23Speaker 1: told you, what did you tell me?
- 37:25Speaker 3: You didn't tell me anything.
- 37:26Speaker 4: The story has already written itself.
- 37:28Speaker 3: I told you it was gonna be good. I don't know.
- 37:29Speaker 3: It's like something happened like some of the designs you
- 37:31Speaker 3: I told you? I mean, who is talking to didn't
- 37:35Speaker 3: tell me anything? And you're not sitting He was sitting alone.
- 37:40Speaker 1: And Caitlyn's like, why is that guy yelling like it's
- 37:43Speaker 1: an actual sporting event?
- 37:44Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was like, yep, boom knew it.
- 37:48Speaker 4: That was me last night while watching it.
- 37:49Speaker 3: It's great. Yeah, really was great.
- 37:51Speaker 4: Awesome.
- 37:51Speaker 3: Let's go over to read read what's going on? Buddy.
- 37:53Speaker 4: I have never been more ready for something in my
- 37:55Speaker 4: entire life puberty. Yeah, all right, well and that's something.
- 38:01Speaker 4: Is our two K NBA league?
- 38:04Speaker 3: Did you play all your games? Yeah? Oh no, I
- 38:06Speaker 3: think I have one more? You got play today? Today's
- 38:08Speaker 3: last day? Yeah.
- 38:08Speaker 1: Our playoffs, which I was also going to ask you.
- 38:10Speaker 1: I can't remember when our playoffs were, so they'll start
- 38:12Speaker 1: in nice couple of days. And I have a money
- 38:14Speaker 1: in our two K league. If you play all your
- 38:16Speaker 1: games and you win your first playoff game, you get
- 38:19Speaker 1: ten dollars. After that's twenty more dollars if you win
- 38:21Speaker 1: the whole league, one hundred bucks. Okay, So, and Reid's
- 38:25Speaker 1: got Shack redrafted Shack with the Nuggets when Shack was
- 38:29Speaker 1: a rookie, so yeah, it's be good.
- 38:31Speaker 3: That'd be fun.
- 38:32Speaker 4: I'm ready.
- 38:32Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 38:33Speaker 1: I went to the Dallas Cowboys standing for the ACMs.
- 38:36Speaker 1: But it wasn't the stadium. It's the Ford Center, which
- 38:37Speaker 1: is their practice facility. Except don't hear the words practice
- 38:41Speaker 1: facility and think it's actually a practice field where you
- 38:44Speaker 1: just do some crap. It's nicer than in the It's
- 38:49Speaker 1: better than half football stadiums have been into college football stadiums.
- 38:53Speaker 1: It's so all the offices are too, and all the
- 38:55Speaker 1: other memorability of the gear.
- 38:56Speaker 4: There's a museum the whole community.
- 38:57Speaker 3: It's freaking leguice.
- 38:59Speaker 2: Really.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Yeah, they got seat They have like high school games there.
- 39:03Speaker 3: I don't think they play state championship game there.
- 39:05Speaker 1: I think they play that in the Big One maybe,
- 39:06Speaker 1: but they play playoff games there. I thought we're going
- 39:09Speaker 1: to our practice field to do the ACMs.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Yeah.
- 39:12Speaker 1: It's like the one of the coolest things I've ever seen,
- 39:14Speaker 1: Like all the they have all the mannequins of all
- 39:16Speaker 1: the help with all the helmets from over the years.
- 39:19Speaker 1: I stood there and I kind of got in trouble,
- 39:20Speaker 1: but I got in the middle of them into a
- 39:22Speaker 1: picture like looking like it. But like Eddie says on
- 39:25Speaker 1: our clip about them cowboys, I mean.
- 39:28Speaker 3: Wow, how about them call there is there is?
