- 0:11Speaker 2: Sports Radio app.
- 0:18Speaker 3: So, I correct me if I'm wrong here.
- 0:21Speaker 4: I don't believe that I've heard snippy Sean Payton really
- 0:26Speaker 4: all off season yet. Right, He's actually been like almost
- 0:30Speaker 4: overly cordial during this offseason.
- 0:34Speaker 5: What do you mean he's a normal human.
- 0:36Speaker 1: Yeah, well, he hasn't spoken much.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Well, I'm saying in the small doses of Sean Payton
- 0:40Speaker 4: that we have had, even when he said something like, hey,
- 0:43Speaker 4: Bonnix's ankle was predisposed to X, Y and Z, and
- 0:46Speaker 4: bo Nix didn't like that. It was like he was
- 0:47Speaker 4: kind of remember that exit press conference he had. You're like,
- 0:51Speaker 4: he's actually really delightful today. Hey, you know what, Vic,
- 0:54Speaker 4: He's behaving like a real person whoa holy crap.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Would also, would you agree that it's out of character?
- 1:03Speaker 1: Yes?
- 1:03Speaker 4: Yeah, So he did have one moment and this is
- 1:08Speaker 4: during the NFL owners meetings.
- 1:09Speaker 6: Incidentally, I I like a lot of Sean Payton.
- 1:15Speaker 3: What do you mean, Sean Pateon?
- 1:17Speaker 5: I gotta love hate.
- 1:18Speaker 6: Thing going on sometimes I love his tone of what
- 1:21Speaker 6: he says, and sometimes he drives me bunkers.
- 1:24Speaker 4: I the only thing I take issue with with Sean
- 1:26Speaker 4: Payton sometimes is how he does the I know more
- 1:29Speaker 4: than you tone, Like especially he as like the perfect
- 1:33Speaker 4: example is I mean.
- 1:33Speaker 5: He does know more than us?
- 1:35Speaker 3: It's true, Yeah, I mean so does Bednar Bender doesn't
- 1:38Speaker 3: talk to us that way.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:40Speaker 4: Like when Luca Evans says, is it nice to get
- 1:42Speaker 4: Drake Greenlaw back? You know in the run game downhill?
- 1:45Speaker 4: What would you know about running down or whatever? He
- 1:48Speaker 4: said to him, It's like, did you have to pull
- 1:49Speaker 4: that one on him?
- 1:50Speaker 3: It's just like answer the question.
- 1:52Speaker 4: So I heard one quote where he had a little
- 1:54Speaker 4: bit snippy and somebody was asking him about the idea.
- 1:57Speaker 3: And this has been a.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Common sort of phrase used between Broncos fans media, which
- 2:06Speaker 4: is the Broncos feel like they're running it back and
- 2:08Speaker 4: before I play this, would you guys feel like a
- 2:11Speaker 4: theme to this offseason is the Broncos are running it back.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Of course, of course they're running it back.
- 2:16Speaker 3: John Payton totally disagrees with you.
- 2:19Speaker 7: I saw the stories all right, and don't I don't
- 2:22Speaker 7: believe them, And so it's not let's run it back.
- 2:26Speaker 7: I hate that term. All right, it's not let's run
- 2:29Speaker 7: it back. Let's understand one thing. It's anything but that
- 2:33Speaker 7: when you win eleven to thirteen one score games like
- 2:37Speaker 7: you saw the flip in just one season between Kansas City,
- 2:41Speaker 7: it's how do you improve your team? And the better
- 2:44Speaker 7: you get, the harder.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It is to improve your team.
- 2:49Speaker 7: And so you just weren't patient enough for us to
- 2:53Speaker 7: trade for Waddle.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Your stories had been written.
- 2:57Speaker 3: So he takes issue. He said, it's anything but running
- 3:00Speaker 3: it back. And there you.
- 3:02Speaker 8: Had one player and you and you think it's it's
- 3:04Speaker 8: not running it back, right right?
- 3:08Speaker 3: I no, No, it's a big move. That was a
- 3:11Speaker 3: big move. It was, but it was one.
- 3:17Speaker 8: I'm not sure if he understands the definition of running
- 3:19Speaker 8: it back.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Maybe he thinks it's something else.
- 3:21Speaker 8: But running it back, in most people's minds, is essentially
- 3:25Speaker 8: taking the core your team, all the elements of your team,
- 3:28Speaker 8: resigning those players and saying let's try it again.
- 3:31Speaker 1: But it's hard for me to nitpick.
- 3:34Speaker 8: It's hard because at the end of the day, when
- 3:37Speaker 8: I go to bed and I look back at the
- 3:39Speaker 8: Broncos season and what he's done with this team, Sean
- 3:43Speaker 8: Payton and the rest of the crew.
- 3:45Speaker 1: It's been amazing.
- 3:47Speaker 8: They were one step away from a super Bowl and
- 3:49Speaker 8: easily could have been in the super Bowl if the
- 3:51Speaker 8: quarterback doesn't get hurt. What they've done to resuscitate the
- 3:54Speaker 8: Denver Broncos before our eyes is amazing. He deserves nothing
- 3:58Speaker 8: but respect, nothing but.
- 4:02Speaker 1: There's but applause.
- 4:03Speaker 4: I don't think that anybody who has a functioning brain
- 4:07Speaker 4: in an IQ above room temperature would disagree with that.
- 4:11Speaker 8: At the same time, it's okay to say, what do
- 4:14Speaker 8: you mean you're not running it back the AAR.
- 4:17Speaker 4: This is almost by definition running it back. Like It's
- 4:20Speaker 4: not just that you've only really added to this point
- 4:25Speaker 4: one external player to the roster.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Think about what you've lost.
- 4:30Speaker 4: It's been three guys one of them and Dre Greenlaw
- 4:34Speaker 4: barely played right two.
- 4:36Speaker 5: PJ.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Locke was a backup SAT three John Franklin Myers, who
- 4:43Speaker 4: was the most consequential I think of the three, was
- 4:45Speaker 4: still a rotational defensive lineman. He didn't play ninety percent
- 4:50Speaker 4: of the snaps he played, you know, a good handful
- 4:53Speaker 4: of them. But I think by definition, this is running
- 4:56Speaker 4: it back. And if you're going to use one acquisition
- 5:01Speaker 4: as well. Here's an example of why we aren't. Then
- 5:05Speaker 4: no team has ever run it back in the history
- 5:07Speaker 4: of sports.
- 5:08Speaker 6: I don't know why he's so offended by that. Yeah,
- 5:10Speaker 6: I mean either, I mean if you look, if you
- 5:14Speaker 6: like your team and he really likes his team.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Which he should, they're good.
- 5:19Speaker 6: If you think your team is good and he thinks
- 5:21Speaker 6: his team is good, they are good. Then what is
- 5:23Speaker 6: wrong with quote running it back? And you added Jalen Waddle?
- 5:27Speaker 6: But I mean, is it is it the vernacular that
- 5:29Speaker 6: drives him crazy?
- 5:31Speaker 1: The term?
- 5:32Speaker 8: I think he confused running it back with oh, it's
- 5:36Speaker 8: gonna be easy again.
- 5:38Speaker 1: No, it's you got to start over again.
- 5:41Speaker 8: Everybody goes back to the start line, and it's going
- 5:43Speaker 8: to be a tough trek.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Maybe he confused the terminology.
- 5:47Speaker 6: I don't look, the draft is still to come, Vic,
- 5:49Speaker 6: the draft is still ahead, and you added Jalen Wattle,
- 5:51Speaker 6: which is a huge piece. But there's nothing wrong with
- 5:54Speaker 6: coming on out and saying, you know what, we really
- 5:56Speaker 6: like our team. Now again, we were eleven of thirteen,
- 6:00Speaker 6: you know once score blah blah blah blah blah. But
- 6:02Speaker 6: we think that we can improve even with this team blah.
- 6:05Speaker 6: There's nothing wrong with saying that.
- 6:06Speaker 1: I think sometimes we focus on the wrong things.
- 6:10Speaker 8: It doesn't matter what you think of him and how
- 6:13Speaker 8: he treats media or how he responds.
- 6:17Speaker 1: At the end of the day, does he win games.
- 6:18Speaker 1: That's all that matters.
- 6:19Speaker 8: Did you ever have those coaches? I mean, I look
- 6:21Speaker 8: back now my best coaches. I didn't like them at
- 6:23Speaker 8: the time. I didn't like them.
- 6:27Speaker 1: I thought they were hard.
- 6:28Speaker 6: Some I liked some I didn't. I think they were
- 6:30Speaker 6: all effective in their own way.
- 6:31Speaker 8: I guess you don't have to like someone for that
- 6:34Speaker 8: someone to be effective.
- 6:36Speaker 1: Even co workers. I hate you, guys, but we're effective.
- 6:40Speaker 5: It's fine effective, it's that. See.
- 6:43Speaker 4: Here's the thing though, when I played that from Sean Payton,
- 6:46Speaker 4: this isn't like I have nothing to criticize of him
- 6:49Speaker 4: as a coach. Like he's an incredible coach, there's no question.
- 6:54Speaker 4: I don't know why he takes offense to the things
- 6:56Speaker 4: he takes offense to.
- 6:57Speaker 3: That's what confuses He's just a weird.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Fella when it comes to stuff like that.
- 7:01Speaker 3: Yeah, just a weird just a weird fella.
- 7:04Speaker 5: I mean, it's just one of God's special fellas.
- 7:07Speaker 8: I'm just saying things could be worse, nobody could.
- 7:13Speaker 1: Did that move you to tears? Are you crying?
- 7:15Speaker 3: I'm very confused by your reaction here.
- 7:17Speaker 5: I just played.
- 7:18Speaker 4: All I'm saying is I played something from Sean Payton
- 7:20Speaker 4: where he said we aren't running it back, and I go,
- 7:23Speaker 4: I think.
- 7:23Speaker 3: You are, though you are running it back?
- 7:25Speaker 5: You are?
- 7:26Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, he has a problem. He has a problem.
- 7:31Speaker 8: Obviously he wants to put his thumb on everyone that
- 7:35Speaker 8: covers his team.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Do you think that he.
- 7:37Speaker 4: Has a problem with it because he for him running
- 7:40Speaker 4: it back? Is me still calling the plays? And he
- 7:43Speaker 4: didn't want to say that out loud. That's something I
- 7:45Speaker 4: thought about. Is he offended by that? Being like, what
- 7:48Speaker 4: do you mean running it back? I made a major decision, okay,
- 7:52Speaker 4: to give up my play call sheet.
- 7:54Speaker 3: That's not running it back?
- 7:56Speaker 6: Maybe well, you know, listen, the two places he's been
- 8:00Speaker 6: a head.
- 8:00Speaker 5: Coach are pretty easy places in terms of the media.
- 8:06Speaker 6: New Orleans, Louisiana ain't exactly guys breathing down your neck
- 8:10Speaker 6: and second guessing everything.
- 8:12Speaker 3: You do unless you're the LSU head coach.
- 8:14Speaker 6: And that's Baton Rouge. Yeah, and you know, and and
- 8:18Speaker 6: and then Denver Vick. I mean, look, you think of
- 8:21Speaker 6: some other markets or he would be torn apart on
- 8:24Speaker 6: a daily basis.
- 8:25Speaker 5: That ain't here.
- 8:26Speaker 8: I just think as members of the media sometimes you
- 8:30Speaker 8: have to separate taking things personally from the professional and
- 8:34Speaker 8: professionally speaking. He has been a godsend. He's the perfect
- 8:37Speaker 8: coach for this team. He had them one step away
- 8:40Speaker 8: from a Super Bowl. He's got them going in the
- 8:42Speaker 8: right direction. Everybody's rowing in the same manner. It's been awesome,
- 8:45Speaker 8: no question, personally, who cares.
- 8:48Speaker 1: What we think? Who cares? Really? Who cares what you
- 8:53Speaker 1: think of them? What does that matter?
- 8:57Speaker 3: It doesn't?
- 8:58Speaker 8: Just Dott it was interesting, that's I know. But I mean,
- 9:00Speaker 8: at the end of the day, what does it really matter?
- 9:02Speaker 5: It doesn't.
- 9:03Speaker 1: He thinks you way.
- 9:03Speaker 8: Let me ask you this question. When San Antonio was
- 9:06Speaker 8: winning championships with the Spurs with Greg Popovich, do you
- 9:10Speaker 8: think everybody covering Greg Popovic liked him?
- 9:14Speaker 1: No?
- 9:16Speaker 4: No, they speaking of not liking things. I told you
- 9:19Speaker 4: I watched all it was like an hour and twenty
- 9:22Speaker 4: minutes of Lebron James on this bobda Sports YouTube golf show.
- 9:27Speaker 4: And there's one thing that I picked up on because
- 9:29Speaker 4: not only was this in there? It led to a
- 9:31Speaker 4: follow up. It was a two and a half minute
- 9:33Speaker 4: cut of a million other guys in the league talking
- 9:36Speaker 4: about this. Here's Lebron talking about Memphis.
- 9:43Speaker 9: At forty one years old.
- 9:45Speaker 5: Do you think I want to do it?
- 9:49Speaker 9: Random ass Thursday, I'm not like the first guy even
- 9:51Speaker 9: talk about in the NBA, Like we all like, you
- 9:53Speaker 9: guys have to move.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Just go over to Nashville.
- 9:55Speaker 9: You've got Vanderbilt over there, you got the NASCAR, you
- 9:58Speaker 9: got a stadium, don't.
- 9:59Speaker 1: Got a hockey team? Yeah, Predators like they got everything.
- 10:02Speaker 3: Doesn't look like Leron's going to be on the Grizzlies
- 10:04Speaker 3: anytime soon.
- 10:05Speaker 2: So Grizzly fans out there.
- 10:06Speaker 9: Yeah, it ain't. No, they only chances in two thousand
- 10:10Speaker 9: and three if they won the lottery. Give me there,
- 10:13Speaker 9: and I might and I might have pulled at Eli
- 10:14Speaker 9: Manning and not showed up.
- 10:17Speaker 3: Have you been to Memphis for one of these roads?
- 10:19Speaker 5: Yes?
- 10:20Speaker 3: What so, just before I play this other clip, what's
- 10:24Speaker 3: going on there?
- 10:25Speaker 5: What is it?
- 10:26Speaker 8: It's funny you say that it's weird every you talk
- 10:30Speaker 8: to a lot of NBA players, When who's the guy
- 10:33Speaker 8: bane they got? Remember he got traded from Yeah, I
- 10:36Speaker 8: got traded from Memphis to Miami and it's almost you know, Orlando.
- 10:41Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 10:42Speaker 8: I got traded to Orlando and it was like, oh
- 10:44Speaker 8: my god, thank God.
- 10:45Speaker 1: He couldn't wait to get out of Memphis. Couldn't wait.
- 10:49Speaker 1: They hate Memphis. Well, here's a.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Super cut of this is two and a half minutes long.
- 10:52Speaker 4: We've we've cut it to fifty seconds.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Man, I used to hate flying into Memphis. Broear me favorite.
- 11:00Speaker 1: Everybody's gotta have one.
- 11:01Speaker 10: Yeah, Memphis probably.
- 11:03Speaker 2: I mean the hotel is probably the worst hotel in
- 11:05Speaker 2: the NBA.
- 11:06Speaker 10: The food there is good, though.
- 11:07Speaker 3: You can walk into the hotel room and just be like, wow,
- 11:11Speaker 3: thousands of people have slept in this bed before me.
- 11:13Speaker 11: Yeah, especially when we go to Memphis. I'd be like, damn,
- 11:18Speaker 11: the hotels ain't nothing at myth be dirty. I walked
- 11:21Speaker 11: in a Myph hotel one time. I had stains on the.
- 11:24Speaker 6: Big Memphis which should probably be in Nashville, should be
- 11:27Speaker 6: an Eastern Conference team, Adam, let them just do us
- 11:29Speaker 6: all a favor.
- 11:30Speaker 1: I just don't think it's a destination city.
- 11:33Speaker 3: You know, Nashville's in the city that people enjoy.
- 11:36Speaker 1: Memphis, it is in Tennessee. So you get tax type
- 11:39Speaker 1: like it's good on taxes, but it's just not a
- 11:42Speaker 1: city that's pretty. I guess, oh it's Memphis is easily
- 11:47Speaker 1: the worst. I know.
- 11:49Speaker 8: The hotel they're referred to the hotels right across the
- 11:51Speaker 8: street from the arena. We've stayed there many times. It
- 11:53Speaker 8: is pretty in terms of NBA standard hotels. I can
- 11:56Speaker 8: see why the players don't like it. But the Nuggets
- 12:00Speaker 8: this season, Memphis has been a nightmare. They go to
- 12:04Speaker 8: Memphis for that one game that gets remember it got
- 12:06Speaker 8: postponed because of the winter snow the hit. Then they
- 12:10Speaker 8: have to go back there in the second game of
- 12:12Speaker 8: a back to back. You don't have to ask the
- 12:13Speaker 8: Nuggets twice. They hate Memphis.
- 12:15Speaker 6: You know, I have never I've been a lot of places,
- 12:19Speaker 6: never in Memphis.
- 12:20Speaker 5: I've never been to Memphis, Tennessee.
- 12:22Speaker 4: Do you think that that's on the horizon. Are they
- 12:24Speaker 4: just gonna move that thing a little bit farther east.
- 12:25Speaker 3: And take it to Nashville.
- 12:26Speaker 8: I have no idea they should. I mean, ownership has
- 12:28Speaker 8: to come into play there. If the owners wanted in Memphis,
- 12:31Speaker 8: that's where they're from. I can tell you this, there's
- 12:33Speaker 8: no reason to go to Memphis.
- 12:37Speaker 5: That's a good.
- 12:37Speaker 6: Point, and I mean, unless you want to go. Yeah, Hey,
- 12:43Speaker 6: Nashville is so much different than when I first started
- 12:47Speaker 6: going there so many years ago.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Well, yeah, become nash Vagas.
- 12:52Speaker 6: Yeah, my first trip to Nashville was almost thirty years ago. Dude,
- 12:56Speaker 6: it is totally different.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Now, hold on a second.
- 12:58Speaker 8: But these people make it sound like some other cities
- 13:00Speaker 8: are welcoming and beautiful.
- 13:03Speaker 1: Milwaukee isn't great.
- 13:05Speaker 5: No, it's not.
- 13:08Speaker 8: Milwaukee's awful. I can pick a bunch of cities that
- 13:11Speaker 8: I'd say, nah, you gonna have that.
- 13:15Speaker 3: It's pretty amazing though, to hear all of them.
- 13:19Speaker 8: You think Oklahoma City is a walk in the park,
- 13:21Speaker 8: although Oklahoma City in the summertime is a nice park
- 13:25Speaker 8: right outside the arena.
- 13:28Speaker 4: Just saying to have everybody on board, and all of
- 13:31Speaker 4: them say that place is horrible.
- 13:33Speaker 3: I never want to go there. I don't think I've
- 13:36Speaker 3: seen that before.
- 13:37Speaker 4: I'm sure, like, if you caught NHL players in an
- 13:40Speaker 4: honest moment, would they say that's like Winnipeg or something?
- 13:43Speaker 6: M Yeah, maybe, I don't know. I don't think Columbus.
- 13:47Speaker 6: I like Columbus. Actually, yeah, I may be the only one.
- 13:52Speaker 5: I like Columbus.
- 13:53Speaker 8: You know what, though, at the end of the day,
- 13:56Speaker 8: does the city what kind of role does the city
- 13:58Speaker 8: play in attracting free agents? Like we know Miami does,
- 14:02Speaker 8: We know La does right attracting free agents? Yeah, Denver's
- 14:07Speaker 8: a beautiful city, we know this. But it's not like
- 14:10Speaker 8: the Nuggets have attracted free agents.
- 14:12Speaker 1: No ever, Paul Millsap is the biggest name free agent
- 14:16Speaker 1: that's ever come to Denver.
- 14:17Speaker 6: You think guys are clawing to get their way to Sacramento,
- 14:22Speaker 6: now that's my hometown.
- 14:23Speaker 5: Believe me, they ain't.
- 14:25Speaker 3: I don't think Detroit is on the top of many
- 14:27Speaker 3: people's lists either.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Not right now?
- 14:29Speaker 4: Yeah, three oh three, five, four nine two five back
- 14:32Speaker 4: after this. So Luca gets hurt yesterday from the Lakers game.
- 14:36Speaker 4: He leaves with a hamstring injury. It looked worse than
- 14:39Speaker 4: that initially, but that's all he leaves with. And that
- 14:42Speaker 4: throws a whole bunch of different narratives in for what
- 14:45Speaker 4: happens moving forward, especially in the Western Conference and with
- 14:49Speaker 4: the Lakers.
- 14:49Speaker 1: You know who's smiley right now? The Minnesota Timberwolves.
- 14:52Speaker 3: Sure they are.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Here's the interesting part of this though, to me, is
- 14:57Speaker 4: that I got all these different channels on this, ESPN's
- 15:01Speaker 4: and Fox Sports and all that different stuff. Right, do
- 15:05Speaker 4: you know what the biggest thing that I've seen them
- 15:07Speaker 4: talk about from the Luke injury because it's not seeding,
- 15:11Speaker 4: it's not what the Lakers are gonna do in the playoffs,
- 15:13Speaker 4: you know what it is he needs to play twenty
- 15:16Speaker 4: minutes in one of these final games to hit the
- 15:18Speaker 4: sixty five game threshold.
- 15:20Speaker 3: They're very obsessed with this, and I'm.
- 15:23Speaker 4: Like, out of all the things to think about, from
- 15:25Speaker 4: Luca going down with a hammy this late in the year,
- 15:28Speaker 4: you're concerned whether he's going to be an All NBA
- 15:30Speaker 4: guy or not.
- 15:31Speaker 3: That's what you're talking about.
- 15:33Speaker 8: I could see why the players are concerned because those
- 15:35Speaker 8: are financial incentives that they lose if you don't hit
- 15:38Speaker 8: that sixty five game mark and you're not All NBA.
- 15:40Speaker 8: There's money that it costs you money.
- 15:43Speaker 1: It does.
- 15:44Speaker 3: Luca's got plenty.
- 15:46Speaker 8: He's got plenty, okay, but you can understand why a
- 15:48Speaker 8: player would be perturbed. Now why anybody would make that
- 15:52Speaker 8: like the big I mean big deal at the end
- 15:55Speaker 8: of the day in terms of the awards, maybe for
- 15:57Speaker 8: the MVP race, because they're all about the MVP race
- 16:00Speaker 8: at ESPN.
- 16:00Speaker 1: That's their number one attraction.
- 16:02Speaker 4: Well that's the thing, Like, that's what I was thinking about.
- 16:04Speaker 4: I was trying to go through all the sports, and
- 16:07Speaker 4: let's say this rule applied to all the other sports
- 16:10Speaker 4: that the NFL you had to play in at least
- 16:12Speaker 4: thirteen games. The NHL had to be sixty five, the
- 16:15Speaker 4: MLB had be one hundred, and I don't know, thirty
- 16:17Speaker 4: twenty whatever. And I'm trying to think, out of all
- 16:21Speaker 4: the other sports, can you guys give me the most
- 16:24Speaker 4: discussed slash disputed, talked about MVP race of any of
- 16:30Speaker 4: the three other sports.
- 16:31Speaker 3: It's in recent memory. No, no, no, you're not saying
- 16:36Speaker 3: the NBA.
- 16:36Speaker 4: Of course, the NBA is leading Jambi. I no, no, Hey,
- 16:39Speaker 4: I am vic. I don't think you're understanding. I don't
- 16:41Speaker 4: remember a single like heavily disputed MVP thing in any
- 16:48Speaker 4: other sport.
- 16:49Speaker 6: Or the tale of All beating Nathan McKinnon for the
- 16:51Speaker 6: Herd in nineteen I was pretty whiny about it.
- 16:55Speaker 4: I'll be honest, Josh, Josh and Lamar is like the
- 16:59Speaker 4: only one I can think of that people took time.
- 17:02Speaker 4: What I'm saying is most you might have been like
- 17:04Speaker 4: you might have been in on the Taylor Hall McKinnon thing.
- 17:06Speaker 4: ESPN wasn't talking about that.
- 17:08Speaker 6: When was the last time anybody in any other sport
- 17:11Speaker 6: besides the NBA you heard them openly lobby to win
- 17:16Speaker 6: the MVP.
- 17:18Speaker 1: That's Wenby's doing it every day.
- 17:20Speaker 6: He's whining his butt off. Yeah, but I mean in baseball.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Did you hear it?
- 17:23Speaker 6: No?
- 17:24Speaker 5: Do you ever hear Lamar Jackson going I should win.
- 17:27Speaker 6: I'm buying her better than Josh By my legac No,
- 17:30Speaker 6: I'm like, you don't hear that kind of stuff in
- 17:32Speaker 6: any other sport. It's only certainly not the NHL. But
- 17:36Speaker 6: even in baseball, I mean, show he's not, you know,
- 17:39Speaker 6: tooting his own horn all the time, and Trout never did.
- 17:42Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 17:43Speaker 6: It's just for some reason in the NBA it matters,
- 17:47Speaker 6: I know, a thousand times more than a dozen in
- 17:49Speaker 6: any other.
- 17:49Speaker 4: Sport it's and it's immediately what they went to is
- 17:54Speaker 4: off sixty five games. Kate Cunningham gets hurt off sixty
- 17:57Speaker 4: five game threshold. That's It's not about what does Detroit
- 18:00Speaker 4: do now? Who's led the East virtually all year and
- 18:03Speaker 4: might not have kid Cunningham who had to collapse long
- 18:06Speaker 4: it was, man, tell you something, what if kaid County
- 18:10Speaker 4: isn't allowed to be an All NBA guy?
- 18:12Speaker 3: It's like, all right, you.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Know, let me give you an example.
- 18:17Speaker 4: A texture does say, just real quick, Aaron Judge and
- 18:21Speaker 4: Cal Rawley last year. But again, that wasn't something that
- 18:24Speaker 4: like they were first take spent twenty minutes on and
- 18:27Speaker 4: they weren't doing it was.
- 18:28Speaker 6: It was other people doing it. But I mean, did
- 18:31Speaker 6: you ever hear Aaron Judge lobby to be the MVP
- 18:34Speaker 6: now or show hey, jose bra you or Trout or
- 18:37Speaker 6: Mookie al Tuova. None of these guys are like, oh yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 6: it should absolutely be me. No, not one time, and
- 18:44Speaker 6: didn't go on and on about it.
- 18:45Speaker 1: It's just all bizarre. It's simple.
- 18:47Speaker 8: Of all sports that are team sports, basketball makes itself
- 18:53Speaker 8: the most about individuals in those team sports.
- 18:57Speaker 3: So the Lakers are the worst non playing teams.
- 18:59Speaker 5: Holy app what.
- 19:02Speaker 6: I love to go back and and read some of
- 19:05Speaker 6: these names. Oh, Brett, do yourself a favorite some time. Yeah,
- 19:09Speaker 6: grab a sixer and just go back and look at
- 19:12Speaker 6: the list of MVPs in the last Oh yes, I know.
- 19:16Speaker 5: It's pretty Baseball it's pretty in baseball, it's pretty.
- 19:18Speaker 8: Omber, be careful when we have mos. You're just reading
- 19:21Speaker 8: names from the seventies and eighties.
- 19:23Speaker 1: That can take a while.
- 19:24Speaker 5: Brett loves that.
- 19:25Speaker 3: I do love that game. But let me ask the
- 19:28Speaker 3: question again, what the hell?
- 19:29Speaker 1: Go ahead? Give me about five or six of them
- 19:31Speaker 1: from George.
- 19:32Speaker 6: Bell nineteen eighty seven. He and Andre Dawson. Dawson wins, Uh,
- 19:40Speaker 6: how about Thurman Munson.
- 19:43Speaker 12: The Lake Shoutout, Kingpin, Dave Parker, Wally star Joys, Dave Parker, Hose,
- 19:49Speaker 12: Rollie Fingers, Robin Yut, Rolly Fingers went an MVP?
- 19:53Speaker 8: Huh?
- 19:55Speaker 1: The Young that year two?
- 19:57Speaker 5: I don't know, how do you like?
- 20:01Speaker 1: How can you win MVP and not Cy Young? I
- 20:03Speaker 1: guess is what I'm saying.
- 20:04Speaker 5: Probably could.
- 20:06Speaker 3: First of all, how many pitchers have one MVP?
- 20:14Speaker 6: Uh?
- 20:14Speaker 1: The former Detroit picture Jennie.
- 20:15Speaker 3: McLain Verlander did it? Yeah, I remember that.
- 20:18Speaker 5: Verlander did, but Denny McClain had to have he won
- 20:20Speaker 5: thirty games.
- 20:21Speaker 4: So Kershawn twenty fourteen, Verlander in twenty eleven, and Dennis
- 20:26Speaker 4: Eckersley in ninety two are all in the modern era,
- 20:29Speaker 4: which I don't know when that starts or whatever.
- 20:31Speaker 5: No, Bob Gibson won it over Denny McClain.
- 20:34Speaker 3: Wow, do you include Showhy in that discussion?
- 20:38Speaker 1: Include what?
- 20:39Speaker 3: What discussion? That he's a pitcher who won an MVP.
- 20:42Speaker 3: I mean he was base a pitcher.
- 20:45Speaker 6: Baseball Awards, It Baseball Awards and MVP in uh in
- 20:50Speaker 6: two different you know, the AL and the in the NL.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Yeah too.
- 20:53Speaker 4: So so you go back to this, out of all
- 20:58Speaker 4: the non playing team in the Western Conference, are the
- 21:01Speaker 4: Lakers now the easiest bet to get buy in the
- 21:03Speaker 4: first round?
- 21:04Speaker 8: Well, it changes everything, and that's why Minnesota right now.
- 21:08Speaker 8: At first, Minnesota was in trouble because Anthony Edwards is
- 21:11Speaker 8: off and on with the knee injury. They lost Jaden McDaniels,
- 21:15Speaker 8: who knows when he's gonna come back. He's got a
- 21:17Speaker 8: bone bruise.
- 21:17Speaker 1: So you're thinking, oh, well, they're done.
- 21:19Speaker 8: Well if they get those guys back for the playoffs,
- 21:22Speaker 8: and it looks like Minnesota, which lost last night again,
- 21:24Speaker 8: is headed for that sixth seed. You're thinking, Wow, that'll
- 21:27Speaker 8: be a quick one and done. Nope, because at this
- 21:30Speaker 8: rate they will play the Lakers in the first round.
- 21:33Speaker 8: And who would you take right now? The Lakers with
- 21:36Speaker 8: an Iffy Luca or Minnesota with a ant Man coming back,
- 21:40Speaker 8: and then if he Jaden McGannon, who would you take?
- 21:43Speaker 5: Pups t Pups.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I think they win that series?
- 21:51Speaker 3: Oh to win?
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I think they win that series.
- 21:55Speaker 3: I think so too.
- 21:56Speaker 4: I just think you went from Lebron playing I think
- 22:00Speaker 4: a perfect role for him in his age right now,
- 22:02Speaker 4: which is he can he can give you spurts of dominance. Dude,
- 22:05Speaker 4: we saw this when you played the Lakers in the playoffs?
- 22:09Speaker 4: Is it two years ago? Even Lebron in the fourth quarter,
- 22:13Speaker 4: you could tell him that series, especially games like four
- 22:15Speaker 4: or five, like he was wearing down in those.
- 22:18Speaker 3: And look, he's forty, he's in his forties. He's like
- 22:20Speaker 3: he should.
- 22:21Speaker 6: He's starting to recognize though. Did you see what happened
- 22:23Speaker 6: last night?
- 22:24Speaker 1: Man?
- 22:24Speaker 8: He blocked a shot last night at the age of
- 22:26Speaker 8: forty one that most people at the age of twenty
- 22:29Speaker 8: one can't pull off.
- 22:30Speaker 5: He also missed a dunk again, Oh, that.
- 22:35Speaker 1: Dunk would have been hard. Are you talking about the
- 22:37Speaker 1: one when we tried to dunk.
- 22:37Speaker 5: Over a guy the baseline dunk?
- 22:39Speaker 1: Oh?
- 22:39Speaker 6: Okay, I didn't see that one baseline dunk. He missed
- 22:43Speaker 6: and then goes what like, well, how did.
- 22:45Speaker 5: That stay out?
- 22:46Speaker 6: He hits the he hits the front of the rim,
- 22:48Speaker 6: and the ball ricochees off the back of the room
- 22:49Speaker 6: and comes out.
- 22:50Speaker 5: I'm like father time.
- 22:52Speaker 6: I don't care if you have all of the best,
- 22:55Speaker 6: if you have all of the best training from Germany
- 22:59Speaker 6: or you got stuff from you know who's Bekistan.
- 23:02Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't know. Fibers wear out, the
- 23:06Speaker 5: body gets older, and.
- 23:08Speaker 4: I just think that even in one playoff series. But
- 23:12Speaker 4: it's a playoff series between teams that are all like
- 23:14Speaker 4: they're the same skill wise, talent wise, production wise. Uh,
- 23:20Speaker 4: You're asking Lebron to carry a team in a playoff
- 23:25Speaker 4: series at forty one years old. I think it's just
- 23:26Speaker 4: too much.
- 23:27Speaker 8: Wells going back to your original question. At this point,
- 23:30Speaker 8: with five games remaining, three of which are against San
- 23:32Speaker 8: Antonio and OKAC twice san Antonio for the Nuggets, I
- 23:35Speaker 8: don't know what the best path forward is. I don't
- 23:38Speaker 8: know if there's a particular track that we should be
- 23:41Speaker 8: rooting for. I don't know if I don't think they
- 23:45Speaker 8: can catch LA because I know only one game separates
- 23:48Speaker 8: the Nuggets and Lakers, but it's actually two. Given the tiebreaker,
- 23:51Speaker 8: Lakers would have to lose two more times. The schedule
- 23:55Speaker 8: is not hard to have OKC on it, but that
- 23:57Speaker 8: at that game, that that game might be moot if
- 23:59Speaker 8: the nugg to beat San Antonio tomorrow and the Nuggets have.
- 24:03Speaker 1: To go perfect.
- 24:04Speaker 6: But Vic, this gets back to what I was talking
- 24:05Speaker 6: about before when I said I don't know what I
- 24:07Speaker 6: want and I don't want to. I don't know what
- 24:09Speaker 6: I don't want. Would you rather stay in the four
- 24:12Speaker 6: hole and host Houston?
- 24:14Speaker 1: I would want home court in the first round.
- 24:16Speaker 6: I would want no, no, no, I'm okay, but that's
- 24:19Speaker 6: that's not Would you rather stay in the four hole
- 24:22Speaker 6: and host Houston whom you want?
- 24:25Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 24:26Speaker 5: Or go to the three hole and host Mini.
- 24:30Speaker 8: I would take Houston because I don't you know, I
- 24:32Speaker 8: I the Minnesota thing always scares me more.
- 24:36Speaker 6: Okay, So then so then you're advocating do just enough
- 24:40Speaker 6: to hang out of the fore hole because.
- 24:42Speaker 5: They're getting they're a game and a half back.
- 24:44Speaker 1: Yeah, the four seed.
- 24:45Speaker 8: For the Nuggets to lose that four seed, they would
- 24:50Speaker 8: have to play again. They would have to lose all
- 24:52Speaker 8: three of those tough games I mentioned, okay See and
- 24:55Speaker 8: San Antonio twice and then Houston has to go perfect here.
- 25:02Speaker 3: Man, what do you want, brut what do you want?
- 25:06Speaker 5: What do you want?
- 25:07Speaker 1: What do you want?
- 25:08Speaker 5: And what do you want?
- 25:12Speaker 3: Houston?
- 25:13Speaker 6: Probably see you don't even know, you're just like us.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Yeah I know.
- 25:18Speaker 1: I just.
- 25:21Speaker 3: I'm telling you part of me. I don't really have
- 25:24Speaker 3: a preference in all of this.
- 25:25Speaker 4: It's weird, like I think, whatever they get, it's sort
- 25:29Speaker 4: of like a like bring it. And I'm telling you,
- 25:32Speaker 4: I think this is less about opponent to me and
- 25:34Speaker 4: more about me trying to figure out what I think
- 25:36Speaker 4: the Nuggets.
- 25:37Speaker 1: So keep an eye on this game. Keep an eye
- 25:39Speaker 1: on this game.
- 25:40Speaker 8: Just before I ask you most, keep an eye on
- 25:42Speaker 8: this game because six games remaining for Houston.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Houston is a game back.
- 25:47Speaker 8: Of the Nuggets. Nuggets on the tiebreaker. They host Utah tonight,
- 25:51Speaker 8: they'll beat Utah. They're at Golden State. They'll beat Golden
- 25:55Speaker 8: State at Phoenix. I don't know about that one.
- 25:58Speaker 3: Philly, Philly, now step back for the Golden State game.
- 26:02Speaker 5: They may, they may Sunday. He's supposed to be back, right.
- 26:04Speaker 1: Philly's getting their guys back.
- 26:06Speaker 8: But the big game for Houston, the second to last game,
- 26:10Speaker 8: of the season they host Minnesota. That game is going
- 26:14Speaker 8: to carry consequences for both teams in terms of playoff
- 26:17Speaker 8: seeding and positioning. Who knows, Minnesota may look at that
- 26:21Speaker 8: game and say we want to lose.
- 26:23Speaker 5: Ask me who I want in the first round for
- 26:25Speaker 5: the Avs, moje, who would you like.
- 26:28Speaker 1: The Avalanche to run into first round?
- 26:30Speaker 6: Selfishly, I would love to see San Jose Sharks. I
- 26:35Speaker 6: would love to see a series against celebrinian company.
- 26:38Speaker 8: Who do you not want to see in the first
- 26:40Speaker 8: round Winnipeg. Winnipeg lost three nothing Dallas Las night.
- 26:44Speaker 5: I saw that.
- 26:44Speaker 6: Totally fine with that, No problem, good. I agree to
- 26:48Speaker 6: keep Winnipeg out of the mix.
- 26:50Speaker 4: I don't think that I'd be that freaked out by
- 26:52Speaker 4: a Winnipeg series, But I think if I had my preference,
- 26:55Speaker 4: I would rather not face them out of all the well,
- 26:57Speaker 4: I would.
- 26:57Speaker 5: Rather face San Jose, Nashville, or LA.
- 27:00Speaker 6: Yeah, they're all tied at seventy nine points, but the
- 27:02Speaker 6: Sharks have a game in hand. I would rather face
- 27:05Speaker 6: all of them in Winnipeg. Of those three, I would
- 27:08Speaker 6: rather face San Jose. Now, if you're talking about where
- 27:11Speaker 6: do I want to be, you know, going to LA
- 27:14Speaker 6: and the springtime ain't too bad. But I don't I don't.
- 27:18Speaker 6: I don't think any of those teams beat the Avs.
- 27:20Speaker 6: I'm telling you, the Shark Series would be a fun
- 27:22Speaker 6: It'd be more fun. The Kings play an ugly brand
- 27:25Speaker 6: of hockey. Uc Sorros could get hot for the Preds
- 27:28Speaker 6: and maybe force it six seven games. I wouldn't like that.
- 27:32Speaker 6: But the Shark Series, I think would be a fun series.
- 27:36Speaker 4: But you think it's the most entertaining brand of hockey
- 27:40Speaker 4: and it would be the quickest of the series against
- 27:44Speaker 4: San Jose.
- 27:44Speaker 5: Correct, it would maybe go five? Maybe? Yeah, that's my opinion.
- 27:50Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm I'm totally with you on that one.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Again.
- 27:56Speaker 4: To go back to the Nuggets, though, when you ask
- 27:58Speaker 4: what do you want, usually at this point in the season,
- 28:02Speaker 4: I have a grasp on who the Nuggets are, how
- 28:04Speaker 4: they play, and what matches up better with them. In
- 28:06Speaker 4: years past when they played against Minnesota, I didn't want
- 28:09Speaker 4: that because Minnesota played a physical.
- 28:10Speaker 3: Style that was tough for them to keep up. To
- 28:14Speaker 3: be honest, I don't know. I don't know what is
- 28:18Speaker 3: the matchup like?
- 28:19Speaker 4: How about this ignore the teams VIC give me the
- 28:22Speaker 4: style of game that you think fits.
- 28:24Speaker 3: The Nuggets best as far as an opponent.
- 28:26Speaker 4: You're talking about matchups, Yeah, but ignore the actual teams here.
- 28:31Speaker 4: Just what what's most You just said the style with
- 28:35Speaker 4: the San Jose Sharks benefits the Avs the most.
- 28:38Speaker 6: I don't want to both teams will want to skate, skate, skate.
- 28:41Speaker 8: I don't think style is a factor for the Nuggets.
- 28:43Speaker 8: I think they could play whatever style you need.
- 28:47Speaker 3: So what are they see? That's what I keep coming
- 28:50Speaker 3: back to.
- 28:51Speaker 8: What you know what the Nuggets are? I mean, if
- 28:53Speaker 8: you watch the Utah game the other night, that's a
- 28:55Speaker 8: team that's just like, let's get to the postseason already.
- 28:58Speaker 8: I mean that's the look that Joker gave you, right,
- 29:02Speaker 8: they sort of tired of these regular season games.
- 29:04Speaker 1: Let's get to the games that matter.
- 29:05Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 29:06Speaker 1: Completely that fair? Is that a fair?
- 29:08Speaker 5: Totally fair? What do you want?
- 29:11Speaker 1: It's simple? What do you want?
- 29:14Speaker 5: That's my new favorite actor?
- 29:16Speaker 1: Wait, is that that's Gostling?
- 29:17Speaker 5: That's Gustling back in the day.
- 29:19Speaker 3: What do you want?
- 29:20Speaker 12: No?
- 29:20Speaker 5: That was the notebook.
- 29:22Speaker 4: But but here's I guess how about this for those
- 29:27Speaker 4: out there who want Houston and I think if I
- 29:29Speaker 4: had to choose, I think that's what I'm I'm looking for. Houston,
- 29:32Speaker 4: And of all the teams that are in the three
- 29:34Speaker 4: through six seeds, are by far not even close. The
- 29:39Speaker 4: best defensive team left, the best one. You don't struggle
- 29:43Speaker 4: in the offensive department. You can score, but they would
- 29:46Speaker 4: make it more difficult. They also are by far the
- 29:50Speaker 4: worst offensive team left.
- 29:52Speaker 5: Give me them, give me them?
- 29:55Speaker 1: Okay?
- 29:56Speaker 6: Hey, by the way, VIC, both games for the Abs
- 29:58Speaker 6: this week International team. Tomorrow is National TV in Dallas,
- 30:02Speaker 6: So I'm not going Sunday at home Saint Louis National TV.
- 30:06Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be working that game.
- 30:09Speaker 1: Do you want a cupcake?
- 30:10Speaker 3: No?
- 30:10Speaker 6: But if I told you, if I tell you what
- 30:12Speaker 6: I'm going to do instead of going to Dallas tomorrow, Ritchard,
- 30:16Speaker 6: I probably shouldn't tell him, should I? He's just gonna
- 30:18Speaker 6: be a jerk about it.
- 30:19Speaker 1: I promise to be sensitive.
- 30:21Speaker 8: And whatever you're doing tomorrow is gonna bring you happiness
- 30:24Speaker 8: in life, So why should I judge you?
- 30:26Speaker 1: What are you doing tomorrow? Mos?
- 30:28Speaker 5: Noll he hit it?
- 30:39Speaker 7: Oh?
- 30:39Speaker 1: What are you doing?
- 30:43Speaker 6: I'm gonna go down with my beautiful bride and we're
- 30:47Speaker 6: gonna ride the Royal Gorge Root Railroad.
- 30:50Speaker 4: I'm so jealous of this. I want to I've seen
- 30:52Speaker 4: the commercials. I want to do this so badly.
- 30:54Speaker 1: You can do with the glass of wine like that
- 30:55Speaker 1: guy has.
- 30:56Speaker 4: Maybe, Wait, I think they have those things that I
- 30:58Speaker 4: think you can get, like drink packages that are included
- 31:01Speaker 4: with your ticket and start.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Hold hold everything.
- 31:04Speaker 8: You mean to tell me that the Stars play at one,
- 31:07Speaker 8: the Nuggets play at one.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Both huge games. You're not gonna watch them.
- 31:12Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna ride it in the morning early.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Oh okay, Well, how long does it take?

- 31:50Speaker 6: to be on that train, and now I'm gonna do
- 31:51Speaker 6: it finally.
- 31:52Speaker 4: Man, if anybody is in charge of that train that
- 31:56Speaker 4: listens to.
- 31:57Speaker 3: This show, give me a ticket. I don't want to go.
- 32:00Speaker 3: I want to go.
- 32:03Speaker 4: So I'm so jealous of this and it's fun. It looks
- 32:06Speaker 4: really fun. I want to do it a little bit
- 32:07Speaker 4: later in the year that I want it a little
- 32:09Speaker 4: bit warmer.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Okay, that's what I will.
- 32:11Speaker 5: You gotta do while you can't.
- 32:12Speaker 1: I want you to into trains because the train museum
- 32:15Speaker 1: is right by my house here.

- 32:26Speaker 3: That's what I want to know.
- 32:27Speaker 8: It's it's amazing to me, and I know people are
- 32:29Speaker 8: gonna go off on the text line and say, oh,
- 32:31Speaker 8: you're so dumb, it's so expensive. It's amazing to me
- 32:34Speaker 8: that anywhere you go in Europe their speed trains galore.
- 32:37Speaker 8: I mean Switzerland, They're in tunnels everywhere how we do
- 32:41Speaker 8: not have a speed train in Denver along the Ice
- 32:44Speaker 8: seventy corridor into the Mountain Range is amazing to me.
- 32:48Speaker 6: After all these years, weren't they posed to have a
- 32:50Speaker 6: train in California like that?
- 32:51Speaker 1: A speed train here to change everything.
- 32:56Speaker 4: The Final four of the NCAA Tournament is on Altitude

- 33:11Speaker 5: I'm riding a train. You ain't riding train.
- 33:15Speaker 1: Oh.
- 33:16Speaker 4: By the way, stories around sports in the world that
- 33:19Speaker 4: we feel like you should be aware of. Again, this
- 33:24Speaker 4: is our final, sorry, not final, but our final matchup
- 33:29Speaker 4: today of our Elite eight drop tournament stuff.
- 33:33Speaker 3: So we'll get to that at the end of the segment.
- 33:35Speaker 4: But from around sports, you know, Luke's injury is one
- 33:41Speaker 4: thing dealing with what the Western Conference is going to
- 33:43Speaker 4: look like moving forward. The question is what do you
- 33:47Speaker 4: guys think the overall odds are right? Now in the
- 33:50Speaker 4: NBA for who's going to win the title, and specifically
- 33:53Speaker 4: you are Okac's at in all of this, They've.
- 33:56Speaker 5: Got to be like the Mines three to or something. Stupid.
- 34:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know numbers. I don't know what those mean.
- 34:03Speaker 1: But I watched that game last night.
- 34:05Speaker 8: I said, gosh, who's beating this team right now? The
- 34:08Speaker 8: way they played last night.
- 34:10Speaker 3: So it's plus one thirty, which is the same odds
- 34:14Speaker 3: as Shay Gilgess Alexander has to win the MVA.
- 34:16Speaker 5: Wait, they're plus one thirty.
- 34:18Speaker 4: Yes, the Spurs at plus five fifty. After that is
- 34:24Speaker 4: the Celtics at plus six fifty, after that the Calves.
- 34:27Speaker 3: And then the Nuggets.
- 34:28Speaker 6: I know this sounds silly because I mean, like, the
- 34:32Speaker 6: Avs right now are probably the favorite to win the Cup,
- 34:34Speaker 6: but they've got to be like plus five hundred or
- 34:36Speaker 6: something because winning a Stanley Cup is hard to beat.
- 34:40Speaker 6: There's so many more variables. But the Oklahoma City Thunder
- 34:45Speaker 6: are by far the number one team in.
- 34:47Speaker 3: The league plus three hundred plus three.
- 34:49Speaker 5: Hundred, Okay, I thought they would be a minus.
- 34:53Speaker 8: And before people freaked out about that, I mean, do
- 34:55Speaker 8: I think the Nuggets can beat Okase. Yeah, they can
- 34:58Speaker 8: beat them. They've proven already. Man, they can play with them. Hell,
- 35:01Speaker 8: they went to Oka See twice, should have won both
- 35:03Speaker 8: games on legos to OKC last night, gets humbled, embarrassed Leugend.
- 35:07Speaker 8: Yeah they can beat them, but Okaysey's the overwhelming favorite
- 35:11Speaker 8: by far.
- 35:12Speaker 1: They just are uh they're deep yep. Oh.
- 35:16Speaker 4: By the way, Tom Brady did an interview yesterday and
- 35:20Speaker 4: he talked about, you know, we made fun of him
- 35:22Speaker 4: for his endorsements with Dunkin Donuts and Pizza Hut and
- 35:26Speaker 4: stuff like that, Like, yeah, it's not part of the
- 35:27Speaker 4: TB twelve diet.
- 35:29Speaker 3: Here's what he said.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Quote from Tom Brady, people have gone pretty overboard with
- 35:35Speaker 4: kind of the.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Rigidity of my lifestyle or diet.
- 35:37Speaker 4: I have kids, you know, Halloween's birthday parties were like
- 35:40Speaker 4: a normal family. So I try and make really good
- 35:42Speaker 4: healthy choices as much as possible. But when you're watching
- 35:46Speaker 4: football games and you're at games, and you're traveling and
- 35:48Speaker 4: you're in airports, I understand the reality of life as well.
- 35:51Speaker 3: Here's my problem with this. Didn't he make in bill
- 35:56Speaker 3: an entire.
- 35:57Speaker 4: TB twelve diet off the idea that he never does
- 36:00Speaker 4: this stuff that he eats avocado ice cream, that he
- 36:02Speaker 4: didn't have a strawberry for twenty two years, and now
- 36:05Speaker 4: he's trying to.
- 36:05Speaker 3: Tell me that, Hey, man, I have burgers.
- 36:08Speaker 5: I'm a regular dude. I don't know.
- 36:09Speaker 3: I'm just like you. I just try and moderation, you
- 36:12Speaker 3: know what I mean? Was it his old think mos
- 36:15Speaker 3: that he never does that?
- 36:17Speaker 4: Wouldn't it be like if Nathan McKinnon said, what, I
- 36:19Speaker 4: eat ice cream three times a week. I just try
- 36:21Speaker 4: to stay away from it as much as possible. You'd
- 36:23Speaker 4: be like, well, that's not what I was sold.
- 36:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't like it.
- 36:28Speaker 5: I don't like you.
- 36:28Speaker 3: It feels fraudulent to me. Not a fan. You guys
- 36:33Speaker 3: got something, Yeah, I.
- 36:34Speaker 6: Got something that involves vic. I'm watching this us US
- 36:41Speaker 6: the Amateur's Women's spit it out, kept trying to think
- 36:48Speaker 6: like a professional broadcaster, the Master's women amateur what is it?
- 36:53Speaker 5: What's going on right now? Whatever? Whatever's going on in Augusta.
- 36:57Speaker 6: And it looks pristine and it looks amazing, And I still, oh,
- 37:03Speaker 6: by the way, can't believe for the life of me
- 37:07Speaker 6: that Vick Lombardy got to play Augusta last year.
- 37:10Speaker 1: Yeah, three days.
- 37:11Speaker 8: Yeah, and the small course not no. Most I didn't
- 37:15Speaker 8: get to play Augusta. I played it three days. I
- 37:20Speaker 8: lived it.
- 37:22Speaker 1: I am it.
- 37:23Speaker 6: And some of these young gals dude are hitting unbelievable
- 37:26Speaker 6: shots and it just gets me so amped up. I
- 37:30Speaker 6: get so fired up. I mean, the Valero Texas opens
- 37:32Speaker 6: this weekend. I don't give a rip. All I can
- 37:36Speaker 6: all I can think about is Master's Week next week.
- 37:38Speaker 6: That's all I can think about.
- 37:40Speaker 3: How about this one?
- 37:41Speaker 1: Who's your early favorite?
- 37:42Speaker 3: By the way, Tiger?
- 37:45Speaker 1: No, did you see what Nick Faldo said about Tiger?
- 37:48Speaker 5: Oh?
- 37:48Speaker 8: Yeah, Nick Faldos said it's about time the tour and
- 37:52Speaker 8: everybody associated with golf treat Tiger at an arm's length.
- 37:58Speaker 8: In other words, they don't want to welcome them back
- 38:00Speaker 8: to anything Bolt related.
- 38:04Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what, I think they say that now
- 38:09Speaker 4: until Tiger is out of rehab and healthy enough to
- 38:12Speaker 4: play in the tournament, and then it's like.
- 38:14Speaker 3: Oh, whoa, Tiger's back.
- 38:16Speaker 4: Easy to say. Now, how about this one? So we've
- 38:20Speaker 4: seen baseball played. You know, they constructed the Field of
- 38:23Speaker 4: Dreams Field that's in Iowa, right, and they have that.

- 39:05Speaker 4: cool too.
- 39:05Speaker 1: I don't know why I think it's going well.
