Transcript
- 0:11Speaker 1: To have a Friday every body.
- 0:15Speaker 2: Welcome to the Sean O'Connell Show.
- 0:16Speaker 1: Happy to have you with us here on ESPN seven
- 0:19Speaker 1: and ninety two to one FM.
- 0:21Speaker 2: Fun show lined up for you. The Voice of the Youth,
- 0:23Speaker 2: Bill Riley's going to join us in about half an hour.
- 0:27Speaker 1: Brian Dunseth Donny to talk a little World Cup soccer.
- 0:30Speaker 1: It is a game day for the US men's national
- 0:33Speaker 1: team against Australia. Surprisingly strong start for Australia, I think
- 0:38Speaker 1: for a lot of people, a surprisingly strong start to
- 0:40Speaker 1: the tournament for a team USA as well. So we'll
- 0:43Speaker 1: unpack that matchup and then that thing will kick live
- 0:47Speaker 1: while we are on air in the one o'clock hour.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Paul Pugmyer to talk us Open as well. Crazy day
- 0:56Speaker 1: at Shinnecock Hills where darkness had to shut some rounds
- 1:00Speaker 1: down early, including the round of your leader on the course.
- 1:05Speaker 1: We'll have leaderboard updates for you throughout the show today.
- 1:09Speaker 1: But Wyndam Clark had to shut it down early yesterday
- 1:13Speaker 1: and then he had to start again early today. He
- 1:17Speaker 1: actually set a record at Shinnecock Hills, a record round
- 1:21Speaker 1: at Shinnecock Hills yesterday. After all that conversation we had
- 1:25Speaker 1: about how difficult the course is, and only three people
- 1:27Speaker 1: have ever finished a US Open under par at Shinnecock
- 1:30Speaker 1: Hills Wyndam Clark bang best round ever in the US
- 1:35Speaker 1: Open at that course.
- 1:37Speaker 2: So should be a lot of fun to digest that
- 1:40Speaker 2: with Paul Pugnyer today.
- 1:43Speaker 1: And we'll have airing of grievances at one point thirty.
- 1:47Speaker 1: I have a very specific grievance. I've been holding on
- 1:50Speaker 1: to James Folds some sound for me. We're going to
- 1:53Speaker 1: play some sound for you on my grievance. And it's
- 1:58Speaker 1: one that if you have a sports centric dad, which
- 2:01Speaker 1: I do not, I'm lucky enough not to. It's a
- 2:04Speaker 1: grievance that if you have a sports centric dad, it
- 2:07Speaker 1: might really hit close to home for you. So that's
- 2:11Speaker 1: a tease two and a half hours before we're actually
- 2:13Speaker 1: going to air the grievances.
- 2:16Speaker 2: Yesterday was a wild one in World Cup play.
- 2:19Speaker 1: What a treat the Mexico Korea game, closing the action
- 2:25Speaker 1: out last night. And you know, there's a strong contingent
- 2:30Speaker 1: of supporters for the US men's national team. There's an
- 2:34Speaker 1: almost equally strong contingent of supporters in our home state
- 2:38Speaker 1: of Utah for the Mexico team for obvious reasons, right
- 2:42Speaker 1: a large Mexican community in the state of Utah, and
- 2:47Speaker 1: even like we were talking about yesterday, some of our
- 2:49Speaker 1: own Native Utahs have jumped on the L three bandwagon.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Mexico gets it done.
- 2:58Speaker 1: They advance out of group play, a couple of wins
- 3:03Speaker 1: under the belt right now, and Korea almost almost almost late,
- 3:10Speaker 1: almost equalized on a really like a point blank header,
- 3:15Speaker 1: just an incredible save by the Mexican goalkeeper and then
- 3:19Speaker 1: the rebound who was kind of bouncing around and he's
- 3:21Speaker 1: effectively on his knee slash backside and has to gather
- 3:26Speaker 1: the ball out of the air as another Korean striker
- 3:30Speaker 1: is coming down to try to put that thing away.
- 3:32Speaker 1: The replay, the second angle replay, the slow motion replay
- 3:37Speaker 1: over the head replay just shows the margin for error
- 3:41Speaker 1: in these World Cup games is absolutely nil. Korea had
- 3:46Speaker 1: just a couple attempts on headers in the box that
- 3:50Speaker 1: they weren't able to put in the back of the net,
- 3:51Speaker 1: and so Mexico advances.
- 3:54Speaker 2: Mexico will be out of group.
- 3:55Speaker 1: Play, and obviously the folks down there, this one was
- 3:59Speaker 1: in Guadalajada, I think they were going absolutely bananas. You
- 4:03Speaker 1: think that the New York Knicks victory parade in New
- 4:08Speaker 1: York City was crazy, the scenes of the fans, the
- 4:13Speaker 1: watch parties gathered in Mexico City and elsewhere, Just that's
- 4:18Speaker 1: a party.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Man.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Like, sometimes we can be a little, I don't know,
- 4:26Speaker 1: us centric on the sports comparison stuff. You saw Mexico
- 4:32Speaker 1: celebrating that victory and.
- 4:33Speaker 2: It was wild. So today we are all members of
- 4:38Speaker 2: the US men's national team.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Big question about how healthy Pulistic is going to be.
- 4:44Speaker 1: He was training by himself, effectively doing rehab all week
- 4:48Speaker 1: instead of with the team, trying to make sure he's
- 4:51Speaker 1: ready for today. That obviously is going to be pretty
- 4:55Speaker 1: important for this team USA squad to try to get
- 4:59Speaker 1: a off to another great start and try to do
- 5:02Speaker 1: what Mexico did, grab another win and push themselves into
- 5:06Speaker 1: the elimination rounds without any shadow of a doubt.
- 5:11Speaker 2: We'll have some football to talk about today.
- 5:13Speaker 1: I don't want to draw this particular storyline out any
- 5:18Speaker 1: longer than we need to, but it might be time
- 5:23Speaker 1: for about ten percent of the fan bases for BYU
- 5:29Speaker 1: and Utah, like, let's just put Twitter away for a while. Okay,
- 5:37Speaker 1: I think I said last year. I guess it would
- 5:40Speaker 1: have been roughly this time last year, maybe a little
- 5:42Speaker 1: bit earlier in the calendar year. I think I made
- 5:44Speaker 1: a claim that this at that time, the Jake retz
- 5:47Speaker 1: Laugh situation was going to be probably the ugliest moment
- 5:52Speaker 1: in my lifetime of the byu Utah rivalry.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And it got pretty ugly, right. I think we might
- 6:00Speaker 2: be passing the Jake Retslaf situation with the Parker Kingston situation.
- 6:06Speaker 2: And I spoke with.
- 6:08Speaker 1: An attorney friend yesterday long after the show, and the
- 6:14Speaker 1: sense that I got was that, like, everyone should basically
- 6:17Speaker 1: just shut up about it, because we actually have no
- 6:20Speaker 1: idea when it's all said and done, when the dust
- 6:24Speaker 1: completely settles, what the final ruling is going to be.
- 6:29Speaker 1: His impression was that the prosecutors down there in Saint George,
- 6:36Speaker 1: who waited a year to build a case and then
- 6:39Speaker 1: brought charges, are not really enthused about letting this thing
- 6:44Speaker 1: just go away, and that a refile is potentially very likely,
- 6:49Speaker 1: and that we might get more injunctions or more appeals
- 6:56Speaker 1: based on the judge in the case and things like that.
- 6:59Speaker 1: So his impression was that this thing is actually not
- 7:02Speaker 1: all the way over. And then, of course, on the
- 7:05Speaker 1: flip side of the coin is the fact that you know,
- 7:07Speaker 1: a lot of people think that it is and there's
- 7:09Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of true blue fans that
- 7:14Speaker 1: are out there kind of pounding their chest about like that, we.
- 7:18Speaker 2: Told you he was innocent, and we don't know if
- 7:20Speaker 2: he is or not.
- 7:21Speaker 1: My hope is, and I said this a long time ago,
- 7:24Speaker 1: my hope is that nobody got assaulted. That is my
- 7:29Speaker 1: sincere hope. And my hope is that justice will be
- 7:33Speaker 1: done in this case. But it's time for a good contingent,
- 7:37Speaker 1: well not a large number, but a loud number of you,
- 7:41Speaker 1: to just put the tweets down, stop arguing back and forth.
- 7:44Speaker 2: You don't know, I don't know. We don't know how
- 7:47Speaker 2: it's going to play out.
- 7:48Speaker 1: And this is a far too sensitive and real issue
- 7:52Speaker 1: for people to try to be dunking on one another.
- 7:55Speaker 1: From a sports rivalry perspective, it's ugly, it's petty, it's growth.
- 8:01Speaker 1: It makes you look bad. Whether you end up being
- 8:04Speaker 1: right or not, it makes you look bad, okay, And
- 8:07Speaker 1: some of these tweets and arguments are coming from people
- 8:10Speaker 1: who are like respected figures, former players, things like that,
- 8:14Speaker 1: stop what you are doing. That's my public service announcement
- 8:18Speaker 1: and we'll be done with it there. James Peterson in our.
- 8:20Speaker 2: Broadway studios, holding things down as usual. James, how are
- 8:24Speaker 2: you doing great? Doing great?
- 8:29Speaker 4: US men's national team Australia. The Aussies aren't good at
- 8:34Speaker 4: soccer at all, Like, why are you even trying? We're
- 8:37Speaker 4: at home. Let's get it done, USA, Let's go. So
- 8:41Speaker 4: that's what I'm thinking a lot about that today as
- 8:43Speaker 4: we get a World Cup game on tap today. NBA Draft,
- 8:47Speaker 4: we got a draft show lined up, we got the
- 8:49Speaker 4: location nailed down, Engine Room over by the Ballpark, thirteen
- 8:53Speaker 4: eighty eight South, three hundred West, six pm on Tuesday.
- 8:57Speaker 2: Pump for this.
- 8:58Speaker 4: I oh see, I'm reading a ton about what people
- 9:04Speaker 4: think the Jazz will do. It sounds like it's all
- 9:07Speaker 4: over the board. I still I still think it's either
- 9:13Speaker 4: a j or Darren, which everyone doesn't go number one.
- 9:17Speaker 4: But there's so much noise about Boozer. What I'm wondering
- 9:20Speaker 4: is is this Danny in Austin trying to do a
- 9:28Speaker 4: smoke screen for someone else who loves Carlo, who loves
- 9:32Speaker 4: Cam Boozer and trying to get them to trade trade
- 9:35Speaker 4: up for him, But I don't know, maybe it's real.
- 9:38Speaker 2: I have no idea. On the drive with Spence Checkets yesterday,
- 9:42Speaker 2: our guy.
- 9:42Speaker 1: JP chunga Voice of the Royals, voice of the Voice
- 9:48Speaker 1: of the Stars, he was on there and he was like, yeah,
- 9:52Speaker 1: I got I got a j Debons at number three
- 9:55Speaker 1: on my big board. What number three? And Spence's reaction
- 10:01Speaker 1: was similar to that. His belief is that it'll be
- 10:04Speaker 1: It'll be Darren Peterson one to Washington, Cam Boozer two
- 10:07Speaker 1: to Utah, and then then ag debansa and then Caleb Wilson.
- 10:12Speaker 2: And look, it's all speculative.
- 10:15Speaker 1: I mean, we do this with NFL drafts, we do
- 10:18Speaker 1: this to some extent with baseball drafts. We'll be doing
- 10:20Speaker 1: it to some extent with the NHL draft, which is
- 10:22Speaker 1: coming up quickly on us.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Like we don't.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Actually know and the only people whose opinions really matter
- 10:30Speaker 1: are like there's like six people in a room at
- 10:32Speaker 1: the Delta Center who are hammering this thing out, and
- 10:35Speaker 1: everyone else is just throwing stuff against the wall. Even
- 10:39Speaker 1: in a year where we feel like we are so certain.
- 10:43Speaker 1: That is one of the great conundrums of sport, right
- 10:47Speaker 1: the reason we love it is because it constantly gives
- 10:50Speaker 1: us unexpected results. The reason that we feel like we're
- 10:54Speaker 1: informed and we feel like we're experts is because some
- 10:58Speaker 1: things in sports are predictable. And then the curveballs that
- 11:00Speaker 1: come is actually what we love about it. The upsets
- 11:03Speaker 1: actually what we love about it. The conversation that comes
- 11:06Speaker 1: from can you believe that Aj Debonsa slid all the
- 11:09Speaker 1: way down to three or four in this draft? That's
- 11:12Speaker 1: a much bigger headline.
- 11:13Speaker 2: That's a much more compelling conversation than AJ Debonsa one,
- 11:18Speaker 2: Darren Peterson two, Gambooser three, Kleb Wilson four. Like what
- 11:23Speaker 2: we want in our subconscious mind is for something crazy
- 11:28Speaker 2: to happen. What we usually get is for chalk to happen.
- 11:33Speaker 1: And then we love it both ways because we either
- 11:37Speaker 1: are vindicated and correct because we are part of the
- 11:40Speaker 1: hive mind and our group think has told us that
- 11:43Speaker 1: Aj should be one and Darren should be two or
- 11:45Speaker 1: vice versa, and then our biases are confirmed, and that
- 11:49Speaker 1: confirmation bias makes us pat ourselves on the back as
- 11:52Speaker 1: being experts right, And then we also love it when
- 11:56Speaker 1: we're totally wrong. And now you've got to tune in
- 11:59Speaker 1: and now you've got to read every article.
- 12:00Speaker 2: Now you can be like, how did this happen? Where
- 12:03Speaker 2: did we get it so wrong?
- 12:04Speaker 1: How did Indiana become a national champion in NCAA football
- 12:09Speaker 1: that's not supposed to be the case.
- 12:11Speaker 2: How did the Vegas.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Golden Knights make it all the way to a Stanley
- 12:13Speaker 1: Cup final They didn't even win forty games in the
- 12:16Speaker 1: regular season. It's fascinating, it's incredible. And this World Cup
- 12:21Speaker 1: is another reason, or another glimpse into why we love
- 12:27Speaker 1: the unpredictable things so much. The Cape Verd goalie, the
- 12:33Speaker 1: goalkeeper for Cape Verd, the forty year old man.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Who before this tournament was completely unknown to ninety nine
- 12:44Speaker 2: point no.
- 12:45Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no no.
- 12:46Speaker 1: I'm percent of sports fans on the planet now has
- 12:51Speaker 1: more Instagram followers, more social media followers than every single
- 12:56Speaker 1: NBA team, every NFL team, more followers, more people that
- 13:02Speaker 1: have decided to pay attention to him than Victor Wembin
- 13:05Speaker 1: Yama's got explain that for me. It's because we love
- 13:08Speaker 1: the Cinderella, because we love the unexpected, because we love
- 13:12Speaker 1: this sort of snowball effect of attention that happens in sports,
- 13:17Speaker 1: and that's what we got, and I'm wondering how much
- 13:20Speaker 1: of that is going to factor in to this United
- 13:23Speaker 1: States Australia feature today group play World Cup one pm,
- 13:28Speaker 1: Mountain time, first kick.
- 13:31Speaker 2: And I didn't even know this right.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Because I didn't watch a ton of the lead ups
- 13:37Speaker 1: type programming, the shoulder programming.
- 13:39Speaker 2: The preview shows when the schedule was announced.
- 13:45Speaker 1: When the World Cup draw was announced, Sports CBS Sports
- 13:51Speaker 1: Galazzo commentator Mike Grella said that the Australian soccer team
- 13:58Speaker 1: was a this is the quote layup.
- 14:02Speaker 2: For the US. Okay. For him, it was just like
- 14:07Speaker 2: a oh yeah, okay, cool Australia layup. Australia obviously does
- 14:13Speaker 2: not the soccer.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Rus do not have a long and decorated history of
- 14:17Speaker 1: World Cup championship level.
- 14:19Speaker 2: Same with the US obviously, but it.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Seems like US have made it to the knockout round
- 14:25Speaker 4: more often, though I don't know that to be true,
- 14:27Speaker 4: but it feels like at least that for US men's
- 14:31Speaker 4: national team.
- 14:33Speaker 1: The follow up statement was take nothing away from the
- 14:35Speaker 1: soccer Ruse.
- 14:36Speaker 2: They've been competitive and good.
- 14:37Speaker 1: They stumbled a bit through qualifying, not so impressive. This
- 14:41Speaker 1: is an amazing first team to have for the US.
- 14:44Speaker 1: That was during the World Cup draw. Okay, so that's
- 14:47Speaker 1: when they were pulling the names out of the hats
- 14:50Speaker 1: to sort everybody into their groups, and Australia in the
- 14:54Speaker 1: US was like, ah, sigh of relief. Okay, Australia, you've
- 14:57Speaker 1: got one that you can kind of pencil in as
- 15:01Speaker 1: a win. Well, he used the term layup and that
- 15:05Speaker 1: has been the bulletin board rallying cry that has been
- 15:10Speaker 1: the call for Australia. That has been the thing that
- 15:14Speaker 1: Australian fans are printing on T shirts and the things
- 15:18Speaker 1: that they're developing some kind of song or chant about
- 15:22Speaker 1: as they get ready to go to a stadium in
- 15:24Speaker 1: Seattle to cheer on the soccer ruse.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Layup.
- 15:27Speaker 1: That one word has become symbolic of the US arrogance,
- 15:33Speaker 1: the US confidence, the US over confidence. For Australia, it
- 15:38Speaker 1: is the it is the thing, the rallying cry for
- 15:41Speaker 1: them to say, we are not your little brother.
- 15:43Speaker 2: We are going to come out and beat you.
- 15:45Speaker 1: One word, James, one word from a couple months ago, and.
- 15:50Speaker 4: From a country that has gotten a lot better at
- 15:53Speaker 4: basketball but doesn't isn't known for basketball either, but they
- 15:56Speaker 4: I mean, a layup is very offensive to them.
- 15:59Speaker 1: It's amazing, it's amazing that that's what has has happened.
- 16:03Speaker 1: And look you can we've got we've got these things right.
- 16:07Speaker 1: But like in your favorite US Australia soccer, not exactly
- 16:12Speaker 1: a great rivalry, but we love bulletin board material. We
- 16:16Speaker 1: love for there to be some kind of thing we
- 16:18Speaker 1: can attach our vitriol, our venom, our hate, our angst our, worry.
- 16:23Speaker 2: Are are sort of.
- 16:26Speaker 1: Just indignation too, and we want it to be as
- 16:30Speaker 1: concise as possible.
- 16:32Speaker 2: For Australia. It's one word.
- 16:33Speaker 1: It's layup eight seven seven three five three zero seven hundred.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Tell me what your favorite one is?
- 16:39Speaker 1: Your favorite catchphrase that somebody used against your team that
- 16:42Speaker 1: then you got to throw back at them. You know,
- 16:45Speaker 1: overrated is always the thing somebody says some team is overrated.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Max Hall hates me as something that the Utah fans
- 16:53Speaker 1: jumped on. You've heard back and forth in the BYU
- 16:56Speaker 1: Utah rivalry. Magic happens right all for BYU fans. It
- 17:02Speaker 1: might be pooh poo, shout up to snoop ont Lee.
- 17:05Speaker 1: That's right, they sell poo poo, right, I mean, and
- 17:08Speaker 1: it's it's always it. It's always something that if if
- 17:12Speaker 1: this game ends up being a layup for the United States,
- 17:14Speaker 1: if we get a four to one victory for a
- 17:16Speaker 1: team USA over Australia, then they're gonna burden those layup shirts.
- 17:22Speaker 1: They're gonna stop talking about layups as dismissive and as
- 17:25Speaker 1: disrespectful and because it's gonna look like it was correct.
- 17:30Speaker 1: But right now, it is the bulletin board material. It
- 17:34Speaker 1: is the thing that the coach for Australia is writing
- 17:37Speaker 1: on the whiteboard in all caps and underline, underline, underline,
- 17:41Speaker 1: exclamation point, exclamation point, just pointing to it and telling
- 17:45Speaker 1: those guys to get out on the pitch.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I got on.
- 17:48Speaker 4: I got one for a phrase. I guess it's I
- 17:51Speaker 4: guess probably one word for for jazz fans. This is
- 17:56Speaker 4: now about ten years old, but nightlife was one.
- 18:00Speaker 6: Against the Warriors.
- 18:04Speaker 2: That's one. That's a great example.
- 18:06Speaker 4: I can't really think of any other for jazz specific
- 18:09Speaker 4: off the top of my head again eight seven seven
- 18:11Speaker 4: three five three zero seven hundred, think of some jazz
- 18:14Speaker 4: ones or rsl ones. Yeah, this is a good topic
- 18:18Speaker 4: because we there's always some kind of bulletin board material.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Like you say one word short phrase that we just
- 18:28Speaker 4: we kind of try to glom onto as we feel
- 18:32Speaker 4: as we, you know, feel towards our rivals or like
- 18:35Speaker 4: teams that think they're better than than our local teams
- 18:38Speaker 4: and kind of stump kind of looking down on us.
- 18:41Speaker 4: We love to hate that, for sure.
- 18:45Speaker 1: So that's something that keep an eye out when you're
- 18:47Speaker 1: watching this US men's national team play today against Australia.
- 18:52Speaker 1: Keep an eye out for the signs. I guess that
- 18:53Speaker 1: I don't think they're allowed, but keep an eye out,
- 18:56Speaker 1: listen for the chance and whatnot. I just caught into
- 19:00Speaker 1: this earlier in the week that Australian publications, Australian broadcast
- 19:05Speaker 1: Australian commentators are still caught up on that one word
- 19:10Speaker 1: and it has become their sort of the tune they're
- 19:14Speaker 1: marching to. This is from Martin on the text line
- 19:19Speaker 1: Cannicorn said Terrero Martini, keep that Cannicicorn warm.
- 19:26Speaker 2: I don't remember that one.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three five three zero seven hundred. You're
- 19:35Speaker 1: on the Channel College show.
- 19:36Speaker 4: Want to if you wanna give us a little more context,
- 19:40Speaker 4: you can remind us what that one's from.
- 19:43Speaker 2: That'd be great.
- 19:44Speaker 1: It's probably gonna be one of those things where when
- 19:46Speaker 1: like the context, the further explanation comes in, it makes
- 19:50Speaker 1: me feel even dumber for not knowing it right off.
- 19:52Speaker 4: The top, right, Yeah, helped make us feel dumber Martin.
- 19:58Speaker 1: And other big news the remember the Protect College Sports Act,
- 20:02Speaker 1: the sweeping federal bill, the bipartisan bill that we were
- 20:06Speaker 1: talking about proposed by Ted Cruz and Maria cantwell as
- 20:10Speaker 1: this potential exemption for anti the potential anti trust exemption
- 20:16Speaker 1: that would enforce salary cap in college football that would
- 20:20Speaker 1: allow for the Pandora's box to be at least partially
- 20:24Speaker 1: shut and a single transfer and things like that coming
- 20:28Speaker 1: back in well, the Commerce Committee from the Senate, which
- 20:33Speaker 1: is apparently the first barrier that this bill had to
- 20:37Speaker 1: get through, passed pass this through Thursday morning to move
- 20:43Speaker 1: the bill toward a full Senate vote. So details in
- 20:49Speaker 1: the proposal are subject to change between now and the
- 20:52Speaker 1: actual vote, so you can kind of tweak things, and
- 20:55Speaker 1: they potentially will tweak things. And obviously those tweets are
- 20:58Speaker 1: going to be based on FEEDBA for what you're going
- 21:01Speaker 1: to be told, whether publicly or behind the scenes.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Hey, this is going to get you the votes that
- 21:05Speaker 2: you need.
- 21:07Speaker 1: This revision might actually secure more support for the bill,
- 21:11Speaker 1: the sec the Big Ten, Notre Dame. These are all
- 21:15Speaker 1: the powers, the power brokers that are trying to push
- 21:18Speaker 1: this thing all the way through, and the litigation will
- 21:21Speaker 1: come after. But it obviously gets more and more difficult
- 21:25Speaker 1: when the Senate is involved. When we're talking about the
- 21:29Speaker 1: highest possible offices in the land trying to push these
- 21:32Speaker 1: things through, and it's something that obviously matters a ton for.
- 21:38Speaker 2: The local universities.
- 21:39Speaker 1: I think it's easy to make the argument that it
- 21:41Speaker 1: matters significantly more for the University of Utah even that
- 21:45Speaker 1: it does for BYU, because BYU they've demonstrated a little
- 21:52Speaker 1: bit more, whether you call it willingness or ability or
- 21:56Speaker 1: enthusiasm for playing in this sort of muddy water that
- 22:03Speaker 1: the new rules of college sports and transfer NNIL have created.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Bhyu's thriving here, the team down South can no longer
- 22:13Speaker 1: be dismissed as just the team down south. This is
- 22:16Speaker 1: now a team that has the recruiting trail success to
- 22:21Speaker 1: at least start to call themselves resurgent in basketball. While
- 22:25Speaker 1: Utah is trying to chase it's old glory days, Alex
- 22:29Speaker 1: Jensen at the Helm and making some significant changes to
- 22:32Speaker 1: the infrastructure with basketball and with spending for basketball and
- 22:35Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff.
- 22:37Speaker 2: And then of course.
- 22:37Speaker 1: You've got the football team that in a power era
- 22:43Speaker 1: where BYU was independent, Utah was Packed twelve, far more
- 22:50Speaker 1: appealing location for recruits, far more appealing, i should say,
- 22:53Speaker 1: destination for recruits, because you've got to compete for conference championships,
- 22:57Speaker 1: you got to be on a bigger stage, you got
- 22:59Speaker 1: to be playing against much bigger teams, and it was
- 23:02Speaker 1: just the higher.
- 23:03Speaker 2: Level of football.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Well, BAYU gets invited to the Big twelve, and that
- 23:07Speaker 1: by itself not a fix. That by itself not because
- 23:11Speaker 1: the Big Twelve without Texas and Oklahoma is a lesser
- 23:16Speaker 1: version of what Big twelve football used to be. Now
- 23:18Speaker 1: that we're members of the conference at the University of
- 23:21Speaker 1: Utah and at BYU, like no one can say anything else.
- 23:26Speaker 1: It's not what we see from the Big ten and
- 23:29Speaker 1: from the SEC. Those are the elite brands. Some of
- 23:32Speaker 1: the acc is that most of all of really the
- 23:36Speaker 1: Big twelve is trying to chase that same status. BYU
- 23:39Speaker 1: and UTA are trying to chase that same status BYU
- 23:43Speaker 1: has thrived in this new environment of spending to get
- 23:47Speaker 1: what you want. And as much as they will try
- 23:49Speaker 1: to tell you, it's not only about spending. It's about
- 23:52Speaker 1: being a special place and about being a unique environment. Sure, fine,
- 23:57Speaker 1: but the spending is really the difference maker because every university,
- 24:02Speaker 1: every coach in every program is trying to make their
- 24:04Speaker 1: place appealing and special and develop you for the NFL
- 24:08Speaker 1: and all those things. There's no coach in the country
- 24:11Speaker 1: that is like, if you want to go to the NFL,
- 24:13Speaker 1: you got.
- 24:13Speaker 2: To go somewhere else. Kid. There's no one, especially in
- 24:17Speaker 2: power for football.
- 24:18Speaker 1: There's not one staff that is like, well, we can't
- 24:21Speaker 1: send you to the NFL, but we can give you
- 24:23Speaker 1: great facilities. We've got a great meal plan, we've got
- 24:28Speaker 1: excellent extracurricular activities, we've got a wonderful team culture. They're
- 24:32Speaker 1: all promising the same things. And what's separating the week
- 24:37Speaker 1: from the chaff here in this new era is largely spending. Well,
- 24:42Speaker 1: this College Sports Commissioned Bill, or this Save College Sports
- 24:47Speaker 1: Bill again bipartisan in one of the ugliest political times
- 24:51Speaker 1: in our country's history, is being pushed through to a
- 24:55Speaker 1: full Senate vote. You will be able to restrict transfers
- 25:02Speaker 1: back down to one. If this passes, you'll be able
- 25:07Speaker 1: to and I cannot wait to see the details. Are
- 25:10Speaker 1: doubt implement something equivalent to a salary cap for UTAH.
- 25:19Speaker 1: I mean every one of the Big twelve. The official
- 25:21Speaker 1: company line from the Big twelve offices is that, yes,
- 25:24Speaker 1: we support this. Nick Saban went to Congress and said
- 25:28Speaker 1: we support this. The SEC and the Big ten powers
- 25:30Speaker 1: that be have said yes, we support this. The people
- 25:32Speaker 1: who don't want this are the agents to some extent.
- 25:35Speaker 1: The people who don't want this are the athletes. I
- 25:38Speaker 1: think that most athletes like when you really get down
- 25:41Speaker 1: to it. I think that a lot of parents, a
- 25:43Speaker 1: lot of athletes are starting to realize that, man, the
- 25:47Speaker 1: grass has not been greener with this wide open transfer.
- 25:51Speaker 1: With forty five hundred names in the transfer portal and
- 25:53Speaker 1: only twenty five hundred of those names come out of
- 25:56Speaker 1: the transfer portal with the scholarship. I think people are,
- 25:59Speaker 1: in their heart of hearts starting to realize that the
- 26:02Speaker 1: wild West, free for all doesn't serve the overall, the
- 26:06Speaker 1: greater good. Now, the problem is it still very much
- 26:09Speaker 1: serves individual agendas. I think two they don't have to
- 26:17Speaker 1: be mutually exclusive. I think you can probably be the mom,
- 26:20Speaker 1: the dad, the player, the high school coach, the junior
- 26:23Speaker 1: college coach, the whatever coach and sit back and look
- 26:26Speaker 1: at the grand landscape and say, yeah, man, this is
- 26:29Speaker 1: not that good.
- 26:30Speaker 2: It's actually kind of bad.
- 26:31Speaker 1: To see all these guys left in limbo because they
- 26:34Speaker 1: don't realize that they shouldn't have put their name in
- 26:37Speaker 1: the transfer portal. They shouldn't have burned that bridge with
- 26:39Speaker 1: the previous university. They shouldn't have said this, they shouldn't.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Have done that. I think there's a lot of people.
- 26:45Speaker 7: Who can look at the.
- 26:47Speaker 2: Bird's eye view of it and say, yeah, this is
- 26:49Speaker 2: probably not good for college sports.
- 26:51Speaker 1: But those same people when their son their daughter themselves
- 26:58Speaker 1: outperforms the FCS level that they're at, or outperforms the
- 27:02Speaker 1: Group of six level that they're at, or becomes a
- 27:05Speaker 1: first team All Mountain West running back and suddenly gets
- 27:09Speaker 1: a phone call from LSU, suddenly you're like, wait a minute,
- 27:14Speaker 1: maybe the system is not so bad after all. Maybe
- 27:18Speaker 1: this's free for all because now it serves me, it
- 27:20Speaker 1: serves my wants, my needs, my wallet. Now it's a
- 27:24Speaker 1: good thing. That's where the disconnect is always going to
- 27:28Speaker 1: remain until things like collective bargaining are a reality. That's
- 27:36Speaker 1: how the NFL, the NBA, Major League Baseball hockey, that's
- 27:40Speaker 1: how they have fixed that problem because what serves the
- 27:45Speaker 1: group and what serves the individual are rarely the same thing.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Because there are outliers, They're always going to be outliers,
- 27:55Speaker 2: right A max salary or a true hard salary cap
- 28:01Speaker 2: in the NFL doesn't serve, didn't serve Patrick Mahomes for
- 28:05Speaker 2: a long time, didn't serve Tom Brady for a long time.
- 28:13Speaker 1: So now we've got to see if the Senate, a
- 28:16Speaker 1: full Senate vote approves this reform for college sports. Some
- 28:23Speaker 1: breaking news, Christian Polistic is out for the game against
- 28:29Speaker 1: Australia today.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Not able. He was working hard to get back to
- 28:33Speaker 2: full health, not able to go. It seems potentially problematic
- 28:42Speaker 2: for the.
- 28:42Speaker 1: US men's national team against a plucky Australian squad.
- 28:48Speaker 2: You know, we'll have a thought on that. We might
- 28:50Speaker 2: have some perspective on that.
- 28:51Speaker 1: Bill Riley, the voice of the youth so obviously was
- 28:54Speaker 1: the voice of RSL for a very long time, and
- 28:56Speaker 1: a guy who loves the beautiful game will talk to
- 28:59Speaker 1: him about the US men's national team matchup.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Today.
- 29:03Speaker 1: We'll also talk about the Ultro Capital deal going final,
- 29:07Speaker 1: and much more.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Sean O'Connell Show.
- 29:09Speaker 1: Bill Riley joins us next on ESPN seven hundred and
- 29:12Speaker 1: ninety two one FF.
- 29:24Speaker 8: You are tuned to the Shan O'Connell Show from the
- 29:27Speaker 8: Murdoch Chevrolet Studio of ESPN seven hundred and ninety two
- 29:31Speaker 8: to one FM.
- 29:43Speaker 7: Welcome back to the Shan O'Connell Show on a Friday.
- 29:45Speaker 2: Welcome in the voice of the youths, Bill Riley.
- 29:48Speaker 1: A conversation brought to you weekly here at ESPN seven
- 29:51Speaker 1: hundred and ninety twoe FM by handyanhandyhandylaw Utah dot Com
- 29:55Speaker 1: personal injury attorneys, big firm experience, but all firm attention.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Bill Riley, Welcome back to the show.
- 30:02Speaker 5: How are you, John. I'm good. I wishing I was
- 30:06Speaker 5: in Steattle at lumen Field today, but doing okay. Seventy
- 30:10Speaker 5: six days to kick off, excited about football, excited about
- 30:14Speaker 5: USA today against Australia, and ready to go.
- 30:19Speaker 2: How do you react to the news we just got.
- 30:22Speaker 1: Mauricio Poschattino confirmed with Jenny Taft that Christian Polistic will
- 30:27Speaker 1: not play against Australia today.
- 30:29Speaker 5: I'm not surprised at all. He didn't train with the
- 30:32Speaker 5: team all week long, so when you're not training with
- 30:35Speaker 5: the team and you're doing work on the side, I
- 30:40Speaker 5: didn't have any thought that he would play today when
- 30:42Speaker 5: I saw the last two days he didn't train with
- 30:44Speaker 5: the team. So if this was an elimination game, I
- 30:47Speaker 5: think you'd see him probably try to play. But because
- 30:50Speaker 5: it's the second game in group stage, and because they
- 30:53Speaker 5: have three points in their back pocket, I think it's
- 30:56Speaker 5: probably the wise move. And as key as he is
- 31:00Speaker 5: and he might be the most important and influential player
- 31:03Speaker 5: for the team, they do have options. My expectation just
- 31:09Speaker 5: to guess, just to guess. Eighteen years and calling some
- 31:12Speaker 5: US men's national team games over the years, I know
- 31:15Speaker 5: a little bit about the beautiful game. I'm gonna guess
- 31:17Speaker 5: Tim Wia probably gets to start with his World Cup experience,
- 31:23Speaker 5: probably goes sixty or so minutes, and then I think
- 31:26Speaker 5: we probably see Geo Reina slot in as the second
- 31:30Speaker 5: half substitution, depending on how the game's going, if they
- 31:33Speaker 5: need a goal, if they're up a couple of goals,
- 31:35Speaker 5: maybe they go more defensive in the midfield, but not
- 31:38Speaker 5: really surprised. I bet we probably see him against Turkey
- 31:43Speaker 5: a net next Friday, but not real surprised by the names.
- 31:48Speaker 7: Ricardo Pepe getting the starts according to the pops.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Really in place of Plisic.
- 31:58Speaker 1: I I've been on air, so I've been able to
- 32:00Speaker 1: listen to the sound bite itself. But in his conversation
- 32:03Speaker 1: with Jenny Teff, this is the Fox Sports report.
- 32:05Speaker 7: Okay, he's out and Riccardo Peppy to get the start,
- 32:09Speaker 7: so interesting.
- 32:10Speaker 5: Okay, interesting, indeed going with an additional forward. Okay, all right,
- 32:17Speaker 5: we'll see what Poacha decides to do with this. With
- 32:20Speaker 5: this lineup today, it's going to be a physical game. Australia,
- 32:23Speaker 5: as you know, tend to be very physical in all
- 32:27Speaker 5: they do, whether it's basketball, Australian rules football, rugby, whatever
- 32:32Speaker 5: it is. The soccer rus are going to make it
- 32:35Speaker 5: and I think that's another reason why they didn't want to.
- 32:37Speaker 5: They didn't want to risk Holistic today too, even if
- 32:40Speaker 5: he's close to being back. Australia plays a very physical
- 32:44Speaker 5: brand of soccer and I think they probably want to
- 32:47Speaker 5: lessen the chances that he's out and aggravates it even longer,
- 32:50Speaker 5: So I would expect a low scoring, physical game today
- 32:55Speaker 5: in Seattle, and what about ninety minutes from now.
- 32:58Speaker 1: I know you do love the beautif and you've called
- 33:00Speaker 1: it for such a long time, and you know you're
- 33:03Speaker 1: always going to enjoy watching this World Cup. But seeing
- 33:08Speaker 1: your home country hosted, seeing your hometown, your original hometown
- 33:11Speaker 1: be one of the host sites y and like all
- 33:14Speaker 1: the accessory stories and things that are coming out in
- 33:17Speaker 1: the news and on social media and whatnot.
- 33:19Speaker 2: With all of that stuff, I imagine for me this.
- 33:21Speaker 1: One has been even more enjoyable than than a typical
- 33:25Speaker 1: World Cup.
- 33:26Speaker 2: How do you feel?
- 33:27Speaker 5: I mean, I'm old enough to remember us hosting in
- 33:31Speaker 5: nineteen ninety four, but it was just different. I mean,
- 33:35Speaker 5: the United States wasn't playing a huge though they had
- 33:37Speaker 5: a great run, a surprising run there. The game in
- 33:41Speaker 5: this country wasn't where it is today. But to see
- 33:45Speaker 5: what this game, I mean, we are, We're such a
- 33:48Speaker 5: sporting country and we can do big events so very well.
- 33:53Speaker 5: To see these crowds, to see these events, whether it's
- 33:57Speaker 5: in Kansas City or Seattle, or Los Angeles or Atlanta
- 34:01Speaker 5: or Miami or Houston or Dallas, everywhere you go It's
- 34:06Speaker 5: been met with just unbelievable enthusiasm by all that have
- 34:12Speaker 5: been around it. I've been talking to friends of mine
- 34:14Speaker 5: that have in Kansas City and family that are there,
- 34:17Speaker 5: and it's you know, Kansas City's got not just the
- 34:19Speaker 5: games themselves, but England, Argentina, the Netherlands, and Algeria are
- 34:25Speaker 5: all base camping in Kansas City as well, So there's
- 34:28Speaker 5: hundreds of thousands of people that are there just to
- 34:30Speaker 5: see their favorite national teams practice and train. I just
- 34:35Speaker 5: think it's been phenomenal. I thought last Friday night the
- 34:37Speaker 5: atmospherit so far for the US men's national team is
- 34:41Speaker 5: so great. And the other thing is too It's I've
- 34:44Speaker 5: called enough of these games over the years and seen
- 34:46Speaker 5: them a lot of times. In these build ups and
- 34:49Speaker 5: these friendlies and these qualifiers. The United States will play,
- 34:53Speaker 5: you know, Mexico, or they'll play Panama or somebody, and
- 34:56Speaker 5: it's a half and half crowd, if not more the other. Hey,
- 35:00Speaker 5: these crowds are decidedly American. I would expect the atmosphere
- 35:04Speaker 5: up in Seattle today to be even better than it
- 35:07Speaker 5: was last Friday down to Los Angeles. I just I
- 35:11Speaker 5: think it's been fantastic, and I just think the United
- 35:15Speaker 5: States so far, again, we're only a week into this thing,
- 35:18Speaker 5: but I think it's been it's carried off well, same
- 35:20Speaker 5: thing in Canada, up in Vancouver and in Toronto and
- 35:25Speaker 5: down in Guadalajara, in Mexico City. I just think so
- 35:28Speaker 5: far the games have been really good and for the
- 35:32Speaker 5: most part, and the atmosphere has been off the charts.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Yeah, so far, so good for the World Cup tournament.
- 35:38Speaker 1: And of course we'll be paying close attention the rest
- 35:41Speaker 1: of the way and hopefully US men's national team can
- 35:43Speaker 1: do what Mexico did last night and they can punch
- 35:46Speaker 1: their ticket after two games, they can punch their ticket
- 35:48Speaker 1: out of the group stage.
- 35:50Speaker 2: How likely do you think that is? It would take
- 35:52Speaker 2: three points.
- 35:55Speaker 5: I think it's very I think it's likely. I mean,
- 35:58Speaker 5: and again Polisic not being and is a big deal,
- 36:02Speaker 5: but they're better than Australia. This is the most deep
- 36:04Speaker 5: and talented roster the United States ever had. I think
- 36:08Speaker 5: it's very Even if they say, let's say they drew
- 36:10Speaker 5: today and they drew one one or two two with
- 36:13Speaker 5: Australia today, I still think it's likely they're going to
- 36:16Speaker 5: get out of the stage and maybe even still win
- 36:18Speaker 5: the group with a draw today. So I like the
- 36:22Speaker 5: United States chances. I said all along, I thought that
- 36:24Speaker 5: they would get to the quarterfinals. Depending on the health
- 36:28Speaker 5: and how they decide to play, There's a chance they
- 36:30Speaker 5: could get beyond that. But I certainly think my expectation
- 36:33Speaker 5: was win the group and win at least one knockout
- 36:36Speaker 5: round game, and I still think they're on part to
- 36:38Speaker 5: do that.
- 36:40Speaker 1: Bill Riley is our guest here on the Sean O'Connell
- 36:42Speaker 1: Show Conversation, brought to you weekly by Handy and Handy Handy.
- 36:46Speaker 2: Law Utah dot com.
- 36:47Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about the University of Utah. We
- 36:52Speaker 1: talked about it, we wondered about it, we speculated it
- 36:54Speaker 1: on it.
- 36:55Speaker 2: The Otro Capital deal, the first of its.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Kind private equity partnership between Utah and Athletics and private
- 37:01Speaker 1: equity for Motro Capital to create Crimson Brand Partners and
- 37:05Speaker 1: a new era of Utah Athletics, is official.
- 37:08Speaker 2: It is signed, it is sealed.
- 37:11Speaker 1: I guess we now get to see what the delivery
- 37:13Speaker 1: looks like. You just mentioned we're seventy six days away
- 37:17Speaker 1: from kickoff. Is there anything in your mind? Are we
- 37:19Speaker 1: going to notice anything different about this capital and fusion
- 37:23Speaker 1: is cash infusion in the twenty twenty six football season.
- 37:27Speaker 5: That's a good question. I think still a lot of
- 37:30Speaker 5: it is it kind of unfolds. It's going to be
- 37:33Speaker 5: interesting to see how it plays out here. I mean,
- 37:35Speaker 5: I work up here and I'm going to be kind
- 37:38Speaker 5: of part of that, a little bit part of that
- 37:40Speaker 5: world too, working with it. So I'm really curious to
- 37:43Speaker 5: see how it rolls out. I know that they've got
- 37:46Speaker 5: big plans long term, but I'm really curious myself to
- 37:50Speaker 5: see what the short term impact will be at Rice
- 37:53Speaker 5: Cycle Stadium. I don't know if the average fan is
- 37:56Speaker 5: going to notice anything different in the short but again,
- 38:01Speaker 5: it's it's also new Sean that I'm I'm very kind
- 38:05Speaker 5: of like everybody else, kind of in the planning stages,
- 38:08Speaker 5: seeing how this thing rolls out. So we'll we'll see.
- 38:11Speaker 5: I know everybody up here is very excited for it.
- 38:14Speaker 5: It's been talked about for you know, six seven, eight
- 38:17Speaker 5: months now, so I know everybody up here is very
- 38:20Speaker 5: excited to see how this thing begins to develop in
- 38:24Speaker 5: the short term. But as far as football, I'm kind
- 38:28Speaker 5: of like everybody else, I'm kind of in the waiting
- 38:30Speaker 5: stage two to see how things play out.
- 38:32Speaker 1: The biggest no brainer questioned for me, which has not
- 38:36Speaker 1: been the biggest no brainer answer to this point for me,
- 38:39Speaker 1: and that could just be a me problem, but is
- 38:41Speaker 1: whether or not this capital infusion, this cash infusion is
- 38:45Speaker 1: ever going to find its way directly to players and
- 38:48Speaker 1: to NIL funds. And you know, Mark Carlin joined Spence.
- 38:53Speaker 1: That conversation is available on the ESPN seven hundred app,
- 38:56Speaker 1: but on ESPN seven hundred sports dot com, and Spence
- 39:00Speaker 1: asked the question, and Mark did a good job of
- 39:02Speaker 1: answering it without really i think, being fully committal or
- 39:06Speaker 1: fully clear on whether or not that was an easy
- 39:08Speaker 1: mechanism for ultro capital of that money to come into
- 39:12Speaker 1: the hands of student athletes directly. Do you have a
- 39:15Speaker 1: sense on whether or not this either directly comes straight
- 39:19Speaker 1: through Crimson brand partners to student athletes I legitimate NIL
- 39:22Speaker 1: deals or maybe the thought is that it can free
- 39:25Speaker 1: up booster money that would traditionally go towards the programs directly,
- 39:30Speaker 1: and now it's now that money from them, from the
- 39:33Speaker 1: Huntsmans and whoever else could be funneled to student athletes instead,
- 39:37Speaker 1: because that's where Utah's got a They've done a good job,
- 39:40Speaker 1: but that's where they could obviously improve, like everybody can do.
- 39:43Speaker 1: You know if this new signed, sealed, delivered deal makes
- 39:47Speaker 1: that more possible.
- 39:48Speaker 5: I don't know that for sure, Sean. I know the
- 39:51Speaker 5: Crimson Brand Partners will be you know, working hand in
- 39:55Speaker 5: hand with you know, sports and athletes and working to
- 39:59Speaker 5: enhance nil and things like that, But I don't know
- 40:02Speaker 5: what the what the flow of money looks like from
- 40:07Speaker 5: you know, the new deal through Crimson Brand Partners, through Athletics,
- 40:10Speaker 5: any of that stuff. I don't know what those mechanisms are.
- 40:13Speaker 5: That's those discussions are being had in meetings above my
- 40:17Speaker 5: pay grade. But I do know the Crimson Brand Partners
- 40:21Speaker 5: one of its core core missions is creating more revenue
- 40:27Speaker 5: that will flow directly into Utah Athletics to help elevate
- 40:32Speaker 5: and support sports marketing, you know, fan experience, all of
- 40:37Speaker 5: that stuff across the board. So but as far as
- 40:41Speaker 5: where that money is coming from and where it will
- 40:43Speaker 5: go directly that that, I don't know.
- 40:46Speaker 2: Have you had a.
- 40:47Speaker 1: Chance to talk with the new Director of Athletic Performance,
- 40:50Speaker 1: the strength and conditioning coach Steve Saunders, who replaced Greg
- 40:54Speaker 1: argus and kind of a surprising move, sort of a
- 40:58Speaker 1: last minute change after springball.
- 41:00Speaker 2: Have you ever a chance to have any conversations with him?
- 41:03Speaker 5: I have not. It's interesting you say that. I've been
- 41:06Speaker 5: actually this week starting a podcast series with a lot
- 41:11Speaker 5: of the new coaching staff and on on, you know,
- 41:14Speaker 5: kind of performance staff people around Utah football. These podcasts
- 41:19Speaker 5: will kind of drop on both the video and audio
- 41:22Speaker 5: platform in July. But I have not had a chance
- 41:25Speaker 5: to talk to him yet. I've heard good things. I
- 41:27Speaker 5: know that our mutual good friend Eric Weddle is a
- 41:31Speaker 5: big fan of his, but I haven't had a chance
- 41:32Speaker 5: to talk to him.
- 41:33Speaker 1: Many of you, no, I haven't, And that's why I
- 41:36Speaker 1: was asking you. I And part of the reason I
- 41:38Speaker 1: ask is because this is kind of a quiet time
- 41:41Speaker 1: from a fan perspective for Utah football. And obviously you
- 41:45Speaker 1: dismiss players for a month in the summer and let
- 41:47Speaker 1: them go back and you know, see their families and
- 41:50Speaker 1: things like that. But the summertime is like a very
- 41:54Speaker 1: very incredibly crucial time for speed development for guys like
- 41:59Speaker 1: I mean, you've got Kelvin Obat on the roster this year,
- 42:02Speaker 1: who before it's said and done, he's probably gonna gain
- 42:04Speaker 1: thirty pounds of muscle in a Utah strength program.
- 42:07Speaker 2: How much of that is coming on this offseason? Is
- 42:10Speaker 2: his body adjusting to it?
- 42:11Speaker 5: Well?
- 42:11Speaker 1: I mean, these are really really crucial months for Morgan
- 42:14Speaker 1: Scali and his staff, but there's also rules about how
- 42:17Speaker 1: much they can be in contact with the team.
- 42:20Speaker 2: Where the strength and conditioning coach, he.
- 42:22Speaker 1: Effectively becomes your head coach in this time of year,
- 42:25Speaker 1: and that's why I want to talk to him, and
- 42:26Speaker 1: I wanted to see if you did.
- 42:28Speaker 5: No, I haven't had a chance. Hit. It's funny you
- 42:30Speaker 5: mentioned Kelvin Obot. I did have a nice long conversation
- 42:34Speaker 5: with Jordan Gross and I asked him. I said, Jordan,
- 42:37Speaker 5: what's something Utah fans would want to know about Kelvin Obot?
- 42:42Speaker 5: Because you know him, you've coached him, you've known him
- 42:44Speaker 5: for three years. He's kind of like one of your own.
- 42:47Speaker 5: He's followed you here from Fruitland, Idaho. And he said
- 42:51Speaker 5: he is the most studious linemen of his age I've
- 42:58Speaker 5: ever been around. Is an absolute positive sponge. He cannot
- 43:04Speaker 5: get enough. He's always asking me for more information, more
- 43:08Speaker 5: feedback on line play and technique and what he should
- 43:12Speaker 5: be doing so. I thought that was really interesting to me.
- 43:16Speaker 5: It's funny at these programs, especially like Utah, the physical
- 43:21Speaker 5: side of it always seems to take care of itself.
- 43:24Speaker 5: These programs have such good strength and conditioning and performance
- 43:30Speaker 5: coaches these days. I'm always one that is concerned with
- 43:35Speaker 5: if you want to become truly elite, you've got to
- 43:37Speaker 5: put in the work yourself. And to me, that work
- 43:40Speaker 5: is the classroom work and the study. And to hear
- 43:44Speaker 5: Jordans say that got me kind of excited about Kelvin Obot.
- 43:49Speaker 1: One of the more interesting off the field sagas in
- 43:52Speaker 1: recent memory in college football came to a close earlier
- 43:55Speaker 1: this week. Brendan Sorosby and Texas Tech put down their
- 43:59Speaker 1: sores and said, all right, fine, I'm just going to
- 44:01Speaker 1: go into the supplemental draft. We're not going to continue
- 44:04Speaker 1: this billable hours nightmare of lawyers countersuing each other.
- 44:08Speaker 2: And you know, they waved.
- 44:10Speaker 1: Brendan Soresby in Texas Tech by extension, ended up having
- 44:13Speaker 1: to wave the white flag here after. Really kind of
- 44:16Speaker 1: an embarrassing period in my opinion, of digging their heels
- 44:19Speaker 1: in and making these false flag arguments and things like that.
- 44:23Speaker 1: I just want to get your perspective on the Brendan Soresby,
- 44:27Speaker 1: you know, resolution of him not playing for Texas Tech
- 44:31Speaker 1: this year.
- 44:32Speaker 5: I had in my mind, because you're a Game of
- 44:34Speaker 5: Thrones guy, I had in my mind that visual of
- 44:37Speaker 5: John snow standing by himself as the army came charging
- 44:41Speaker 5: toward him before his sister, who I don't know why
- 44:45Speaker 5: she waited Sansa to the last minute to wave the
- 44:48Speaker 5: other army in from the flank, except the other army
- 44:52Speaker 5: wasn't coming for John's to support Brendan Soresby in Texas Tech.
- 44:57Speaker 5: They were kind of standing there waving their swords against
- 45:00Speaker 5: the army charging on. It was it was, to use
- 45:04Speaker 5: your terms. I thought it was a rather unseemly argument
- 45:09Speaker 5: and fight by Texas Tech. They would not have supported
- 45:13Speaker 5: this had it been a quarterback at Arkansas or Oklahoma State.
- 45:18Speaker 5: They wouldn't have done that. They dug their heels in
- 45:21Speaker 5: because at the end of the day, they brought him
- 45:24Speaker 5: on board and they were paying him five million dollars
- 45:27Speaker 5: or four million dollars or whatever that whatever it turned
- 45:29Speaker 5: out to be. They should have dug in and said
- 45:33Speaker 5: we're going to support Brendan Soresby because Brendan Soresby says,
- 45:37Speaker 5: he's got a gambling problem and a mental health issue
- 45:40Speaker 5: that he's got to deal with. But he's bet on
- 45:43Speaker 5: not only his own team and his own sport, but
- 45:47Speaker 5: others as well, and we're going to stand by him
- 45:49Speaker 5: and let him get some help. We've got good quarterbacks
- 45:52Speaker 5: in the program. Heck, Will Hammond is a very good
- 45:55Speaker 5: quarterback who's one of ours who should be back very soon.
- 45:58Speaker 5: They didn't approach it the right way. Everybody could see it,
- 46:02Speaker 5: and I think the Big Twelve did the right thing.
- 46:05Speaker 5: You know, they stood up and they said, we're not
- 46:07Speaker 5: going to be dictated to by an individual school. We're
- 46:11Speaker 5: going to do what's right. Fifteen of our sixteen members
- 46:14Speaker 5: are against this, and the rest of college football is
- 46:17Speaker 5: standing against this as well. And I think I think
- 46:20Speaker 5: Texas Tech saw the writing on the wall and they said,
- 46:22Speaker 5: this is not going to be something that reflects well
- 46:25Speaker 5: on us now in the future, and we've got to
- 46:29Speaker 5: probably make make a move. And Brendan Sorsby, you know,
- 46:33Speaker 5: he's going to have a chance to play football on
- 46:35Speaker 5: the next level. Maybe he's not going to get paid
- 46:37Speaker 5: great sums of money this year. But if he's good
- 46:40Speaker 5: enough to play, and he could spend the year getting
- 46:43Speaker 5: himself ready for a draft or ready for a supplemental draft,
- 46:46Speaker 5: and also working on himself as well, I think it's
- 46:49Speaker 5: the right situation. It got ugly for a minute, but
- 46:52Speaker 5: I think the resolution at the end was probably the
- 46:54Speaker 5: right one. Would you agree?
- 46:56Speaker 2: I do agree.
- 46:57Speaker 1: And also the funny thing for me is right And
- 47:00Speaker 1: I know it's always like perspective, and his overall numbers
- 47:03Speaker 1: are good, and his talent is obviously there. But if
- 47:07Speaker 1: you just took the snapshot of Brendan Soresby at Rice
- 47:10Speaker 1: Cycle Stadium last year, you would not even believe that
- 47:15Speaker 1: this national news story, this fight was all over that guy,
- 47:19Speaker 1: because I mean, he's he's vulnerable as a quarterback. He's
- 47:22Speaker 1: someone that if if you've got the right film study
- 47:24Speaker 1: ahead of time and you got the right defensive pressure,
- 47:27Speaker 1: you could make him look really, really bad. It's not
- 47:30Speaker 1: I don't think he was going to be the savior
- 47:32Speaker 1: of Texas Tech anyway, But I think the right thing
- 47:35Speaker 1: happened at the end.
- 47:37Speaker 5: Well, I do too, and I think the numbers were
- 47:39Speaker 5: Sewan Karame. I think he's oh for November. The last
- 47:42Speaker 5: two years I think he's O for Ah to eight
- 47:45Speaker 5: or something like that close to it the last two years.
- 47:49Speaker 5: In November, he did not play well. Utah gave the game,
- 47:53Speaker 5: game plan or blueprint to everybody else. And if you
- 47:56Speaker 5: read maybe Bruce Bruce was Bruce Feldman's article in The
- 47:59Speaker 5: End Athletic. He talked to some big twelve coaches and
- 48:02Speaker 5: I'm not so sure one of them may not have
- 48:04Speaker 5: been on the Utah staff. They were all anonymous. But
- 48:08Speaker 5: he did not play well against press man and defenses
- 48:11Speaker 5: that really got after him in Utah did that. He
- 48:14Speaker 5: had a couple of big big one big run of
- 48:16Speaker 5: one big pass down the field, I think the Cyrus Allen.
- 48:19Speaker 5: But he was eleven for thirty three to two picks.
- 48:22Speaker 5: He didn't play well, and I think he's got some
- 48:25Speaker 5: tools to be a good quarterback, but I'm not so sure.
- 48:30Speaker 5: I'm not so sure that he's going to be a
- 48:33Speaker 5: top end draft pick. I think if he goes in
- 48:35Speaker 5: the supplemental draft, it might be a fourth or fifth
- 48:38Speaker 5: round pick. Some of that might have to do with
- 48:39Speaker 5: the off field stuff, but some of it might have
- 48:41Speaker 5: to do with the football stuff as well.
- 48:44Speaker 1: Should Cincinnati be getting phone calls right now. Also, because
- 48:48Speaker 1: you know Soresby his agent, this watchdog organization, I can't
- 48:54Speaker 1: remember which one that one of the apps that flags
- 48:56Speaker 1: irregular activity allegedly told Cincinnati before the twenty twenty five season,
- 49:03Speaker 1: and so Orsby's agent said they knew for two years
- 49:06Speaker 1: and they kind of did the Homer Simpson fading into
- 49:08Speaker 1: the bushes thing for most of this conversation. But should
- 49:12Speaker 1: Cincinnati get a little second look from the Big twelve
- 49:15Speaker 1: and the rest of college football?
- 49:17Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 49:18Speaker 2: I think they.
- 49:18Speaker 5: I mean, if you're doing the right thing, you probably should.
- 49:22Speaker 5: Everybody might just want this thing to go away. But
- 49:26Speaker 5: if I'm somebody else that's not a big fan of Cincinnati,
- 49:29Speaker 5: maybe I raise that question said and say, how much
- 49:31Speaker 5: did you guys really know about what was going on
- 49:34Speaker 5: with this young man when you brought him in in
- 49:36Speaker 5: for the last couple of years. You know, I think everybody,
- 49:40Speaker 5: now that we've got this resolution he's not going to
- 49:42Speaker 5: play college football anymore, I think a lot of people
- 49:44Speaker 5: would probably probably at Cincinnati too, would probably like it
- 49:47Speaker 5: just to go away.
- 49:50Speaker 1: Will the University of Utah be among the many schools
- 49:55Speaker 1: that are calling Parker Kingston and his representation in these
- 49:59Speaker 1: next few days.
- 50:01Speaker 5: I don't think so, I mean, I don't, I don't
- 50:05Speaker 5: according to what I read, charges might be refiled again.
- 50:09Speaker 5: According to the story that I read, I'm not sure
- 50:11Speaker 5: that anybody really wants to touch that right now, and
- 50:14Speaker 5: unless there was an absolute resolution on it. But if
- 50:17Speaker 5: if something could come back to surface again, I'm not sure.
- 50:20Speaker 5: If you're a program, if you would want to you
- 50:23Speaker 5: would want to bring that in and then have it,
- 50:25Speaker 5: you know, and then he had him to still have
- 50:26Speaker 5: to deal with a legal situation. So I don't know that.
- 50:30Speaker 5: I haven't talked to Scaley or anybody about that. It
- 50:32Speaker 5: would seem unlikely to me, though, what about I mean,
- 50:35Speaker 5: is he Do you think he's fielding a lot of
- 50:37Speaker 5: phone calls from schools?
- 50:38Speaker 2: Well, I know that.
- 50:39Speaker 1: There were some that were interested, and it was even
- 50:42Speaker 1: some SEC schools.
- 50:44Speaker 2: And I think there's two reasons for that.
- 50:45Speaker 1: Because I think in the SEC they they only care
- 50:49Speaker 1: about like the letter of the law and are they're
- 50:51Speaker 1: not worried about any.
- 50:52Speaker 2: Of the pr stuff associated with it. So if he
- 50:54Speaker 2: was all the way exonerated, all the way cleared, then
- 50:57Speaker 2: it would make sense for them.
- 50:58Speaker 1: But because there is that sort of hanging question, Mark.
- 51:02Speaker 1: I think it changes the dynamics significantly. And I said
- 51:05Speaker 1: on the show yesterday that like, let anyone else call
- 51:08Speaker 1: him Utah Camp. It just doesn't make any sense too
- 51:11Speaker 1: close to home. The rivalry obviously plays a huge part
- 51:15Speaker 1: in how people are going to feel about this, and
- 51:18Speaker 1: the fact that you know, Morgan Scalley's the first year
- 51:20Speaker 1: coach only adds to that.
- 51:22Speaker 2: So I think that for for many, many, many off
- 51:25Speaker 2: the field reasons, but even on the field reasons, you
- 51:28Speaker 2: don't even entertain that idea as the university.
- 51:31Speaker 5: Well, Utah's got a really here's the other thing, though,
- 51:34Speaker 5: Utah's got a really good wide receiver room this year.
- 51:37Speaker 2: Yeah, and those are the on the field reasons.
- 51:39Speaker 5: It's like if you're dest the deepest receiver room they've
- 51:43Speaker 5: had in years. If ever, I talked to Chad Bumpus
- 51:46Speaker 5: this week as well. He he is just glowing about
- 51:51Speaker 5: this wide receiver room, and so is Kevin mcgiven. So
- 51:54Speaker 5: Will I would tell you there's there's a litany of
- 51:56Speaker 5: reasons why I wouldn't, But if I was Utah, I
- 51:59Speaker 5: don't think that you really need to. You've got a
- 52:01Speaker 5: lot of really good weapons to that You've got to
- 52:05Speaker 5: look at that. You know you've got you've already got
- 52:07Speaker 5: in your program that have been working there. So I
- 52:10Speaker 5: think if you're a Utah football fan, you've got to
- 52:13Speaker 5: be excited about what you've got coming this year with
- 52:15Speaker 5: guys like Braden Pagan and Kyrie Scholz and Ricky Johnson
- 52:19Speaker 5: and Creed Whittemore. You know, Larry Simmons is back, Dadrian Zipperer,
- 52:23Speaker 5: not to mention, you know, the tight ends, not to
- 52:26Speaker 5: mention some other weapons that you can use there. I
- 52:29Speaker 5: know talking to the offensive staff that they're really really
- 52:33Speaker 5: excited about all the pieces that they've got to play
- 52:36Speaker 5: with this year. So yeah, it'll be interesting to see
- 52:40Speaker 5: what happens with that. But I would I would say
- 52:42Speaker 5: Utah is probably pretty happy with where they're at right now.
- 52:44Speaker 2: Well roughly an hour away from first kick.
- 52:47Speaker 1: What does the Bill Riley plan for US men's national
- 52:50Speaker 1: team versus Australia.
- 52:52Speaker 5: To be as red, white and blue as I possibly
- 52:55Speaker 5: can from about one o'clock to three o'clock and hopefully
- 52:58Speaker 5: see a win at lumin Field today. Hey, by the way,
- 53:01Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you, what did you make of
- 53:05Speaker 5: UFC two point fifty at the White House.
- 53:09Speaker 1: I mean, look, as the PFL guy, I obviously wanted
- 53:12Speaker 1: I watched that because I love the fights, but I
- 53:14Speaker 1: also wanted there to be like something to make fun of,
- 53:18Speaker 1: something to be like, oh, this is stupid all they
- 53:20Speaker 1: completely wasted money on this.
- 53:22Speaker 2: This is a terrible look. And look, there's a lot
- 53:25Speaker 2: of ways you can turn this into a political discussion,
- 53:27Speaker 2: not doing so if you're just talking about the sports
- 53:31Speaker 2: viewer experience, the fight fan experience watching that, and you're
- 53:35Speaker 2: an American, a red blooded American like you and I.
- 53:38Speaker 1: Are, I mean, they knocked it out of the park.
- 53:40Speaker 1: It was painfully awesome for someone.
- 53:43Speaker 5: That real fight was unbelievable. I know you're a Justin
- 53:47Speaker 5: Gaetchee guy, right, you enjoy watching him fight?
- 53:50Speaker 2: Yeah? Who doesn't.
- 53:51Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's your favorite fighter's favorite fighter. He
- 53:54Speaker 1: is just he's built for this.
- 53:55Speaker 2: He is the.
- 53:56Speaker 1: Modern American gladiator. And that performance, I think he should
- 54:01Speaker 1: retire off that performance. I know there's a lot of
- 54:03Speaker 1: conversation about him wanting a couple more fights, but it's
- 54:07Speaker 1: not going to get any better than that that you
- 54:09Speaker 1: walk out of the.
- 54:11Speaker 5: Office his age, and I'll be honest, coming in, I
- 54:14Speaker 5: thought that the guy that he was fight. What's his
- 54:16Speaker 5: name starts with a tech. I thought Toporia was going
- 54:22Speaker 5: to beat him. I just did. He looked quicker early
- 54:25Speaker 5: and Gaechee just was just peppering him and he just
- 54:28Speaker 5: the eyes and the nose and oh my, I mean
- 54:32Speaker 5: that was an unbelievable final fight. It really was.
- 54:35Speaker 2: It really was. It was incredible. It's a Fight of
- 54:37Speaker 2: the Year candidate.
- 54:38Speaker 1: It is the definitive performance of Justin Gaigie's career on
- 54:42Speaker 1: the biggest stage he's ever been on. He's been an
- 54:44Speaker 1: interim champ previously, but he's never been the undisputed lightweight champ.
- 54:48Speaker 1: That is the weight class, that's the deepest weight class
- 54:51Speaker 1: in the UFC, and he won it at thirty seven
- 54:53Speaker 1: years of age. I mean, come on, does it truly
- 54:55Speaker 1: doesn't get better than that. His mom, his dad are
- 55:00Speaker 1: ip seats on the White House lawn and talking with
- 55:04Speaker 1: the President and the first Lady after the fight is over.
- 55:08Speaker 1: Like you, it doesn't go up from there in pretty
- 55:11Speaker 1: much any sport, but especially in MMA.
- 55:13Speaker 2: So yeah, I was I'm petty Bill, you know this
- 55:17Speaker 2: about me?
- 55:18Speaker 1: I was like tuning in kind of hoping that they
- 55:21Speaker 1: UFC would stub their toe in some way on that broadcast,
- 55:24Speaker 1: but from the national anthem and fly over all the
- 55:27Speaker 1: way to the final moments of the final fight, it
- 55:30Speaker 1: was pretty stellar.
- 55:32Speaker 5: He should take a cue from the guy I'm talking
- 55:34Speaker 5: to right now, do the mic drop and walk off
- 55:37Speaker 5: the stage.
- 55:39Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason not to. There really isn't like,
- 55:42Speaker 1: what's he waiting for. He's waiting for another young killer
- 55:45Speaker 1: to come up and steal that.
- 55:47Speaker 7: Belt off him. Walk away while you've got it hung
- 55:49Speaker 7: over your shoulder.
- 55:50Speaker 9: Man.
- 55:50Speaker 1: But you know he's wired differently than the rest of us.
- 55:53Speaker 1: So I'm not going to tell him what to do.
- 55:56Speaker 1: Bill before I let you Gota dot com Handy, and
- 56:01Speaker 1: you and I both know President Garrett very well.
- 56:04Speaker 2: Give the folks out there listening a reason to call them.
- 56:07Speaker 5: Well, I hope you don't have to, because if you
- 56:10Speaker 5: don't have to call President and Garrett, it means if

- 58:32Speaker 1: get to that here in just a second. But good
- 58:35Speaker 1: news for Utah football on the recruiting trail, a high
- 58:38Speaker 1: profile name has offered his commitment to the University of Utah.
- 58:44Speaker 1: Diesel Dart, the younger brother of Giants QB. Jackson Dart.
- 58:51Speaker 1: He is obviously a legacies dad. Brandon Dart was part
- 58:55Speaker 1: of the Utah defensive backfield back in the nineties and
- 59:00Speaker 1: Diesel Dart Corner Canyon High School captain has committed to
- 59:04Speaker 1: the University of Utah. Now, we don't always give you
- 59:08Speaker 1: updates on every single recruiting trail commitment, but this is
- 59:13Speaker 1: you know, it's a legacy athlete. It is the son
- 59:17Speaker 1: of a former Ute who has stayed pretty close to
- 59:20Speaker 1: the scene, so to speak, and obviously the younger brother
- 59:24Speaker 1: of an NFL player, high profile NFL quarterback. He plays
- 59:29Speaker 1: linebacker slash safety, and he's a three star recruit. He's
- 59:34Speaker 1: a productive player. He's a good player down there at
- 59:36Speaker 1: Corner Canyon. That Casey setera former Ute in his own right,
- 59:40Speaker 1: is now the head coach down there after Eric Kerr
- 59:43Speaker 1: went up to Weaber State University. So nice, little get
- 59:48Speaker 1: a local kid that has a Utah family and obvious
- 59:52Speaker 1: ties to the university, and it comes from one of
- 59:55Speaker 1: the state's most prominent recruiting pipelines, Corner Canyon High School.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: The other thing about this, right.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: You have to is an incredible flex naming your kid
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: something like Diesel. Okay, like that child, I don't know
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: what his birth weight was, but if that kid is
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: less than ten pounds, and you're naming him Diesel. You're
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: taking a risk, and the Dark family must have known
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: from the very very beginning that this kid was going
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: to be something physical. Because naming your kid, I know
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: a couple of kids named Diesel. My wife's cousin has
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: a son named Diesel, big old boy, big kid. Maybe
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: there's there must just be like some divine intervention, some
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: spiritual prompting that tells parents, like, yeah, you're clear to
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: name this one Diesel. Because when you're naming an infant baby,
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: they're tiny, they're fragile.
- 1:00:56Speaker 2: You can't name a kid Diesel if he ends.
- 1:00:58Speaker 7: Up being five ft eight in a one hundred and
- 1:01:00Speaker 7: seventeen pounds Diesel Dart big kid right, six foot plus,
- 1:01:06Speaker 7: he'll be too something by the time he feels out
- 1:01:10Speaker 7: all the way he probably already is.
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: It's a flex when you name your kid Diesel.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: So congratulations to the Dart family on that name risk
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: working out. At the end of the day, James, you're
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: a big guy. You got some size in your family.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: I don't know what your wife's family is like stature wise,
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: the men in her family, you might you could probably
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: get away with naming the kid Diesel.
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: Probably could, I'm not sure I would, Okay, don't really.
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: I mean, that's fine as a nickname, in my opinion,
- 1:01:42Speaker 4: I'm not sure. All right, that's great. Is an actual name,
- 1:01:44Speaker 4: all due respect to the Dart family, and I'm sure
- 1:01:47Speaker 4: Diesel's gonna be awesome. Isn't Hans's kid? Who who's about
- 1:01:54Speaker 4: to go to Utah State?
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: Right? Is that right? Hans Olsen has.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: A area his son Rock is.
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it.
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: But it's still like you give middle name, Okay, so
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: it is part of his official name.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: So it's part of his official name. So again, like
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: if you're if you're somebody like that, Okay, you're the
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: So let's see. Rock would be the great, great great
- 1:02:23Speaker 1: nephew of Merlin Olson if I'm not mistaken.
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: Yeah, the jeans. You're pretty safe there, the great nephew.
- 1:02:30Speaker 7: And his mom played volleyball in college, and his dad
- 1:02:34Speaker 7: played football and wrestled and played in the NFL and
- 1:02:37Speaker 7: played in the AFL. Like that one, you're playing a
- 1:02:40Speaker 7: pretty high percentage. And that's how the Dark family is
- 1:02:42Speaker 7: doing it too, right.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: I don't know if mom was a student athlete or
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: was an athlete of any kind. But I'm assuming that
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: you've got good geens on both sides, because you know, big.
- 1:02:50Speaker 2: Brother is an NFL quarterback.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: Little brother is going to be probably a starter at
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: some point at the University of Utah. But yeah, if
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: you're if you're from the Olsen and like, I don't
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: know how big Rock was when he was born, but
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: I've known Rock for a good chunk of his life,
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: and he has always been gigantic.
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: Big He was just like you know, you know.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: You meet those kids, like you drop your kid off
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: at preschool, you pick your kid up from kindergarten whatever,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: and there's like one or two dudes that you're like,
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: is that a kindergartener, and some other parent or some
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: other teacher will be like, oh yeah, and they're as
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: big as a fifth grader.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Rock. That's Rock. He's I mean, he's like
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: he's like six seven or six'.
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: Eight the photos of him on his mission he's in
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: In New, mexico uh and doing a lot of work
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: on like reservations and, stuff and you just have this, big,

- 1:05:23Speaker 4: woody page around the horn Fame Denver post columnist in the,
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: EIGHTIES A texter wrote in he IS i believe that's?
- 1:05:33Speaker 4: Right first round matchup against The. Nuggets he wrote that
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: The jazz have no, heart so no.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: HEARTS i would love if some prominent journalists wrote THAT
- 1:05:44Speaker 1: i or my favorite team had no.
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: Heart that's the easiest one to. Disprove.
- 1:05:49Speaker 7: Absolutely if they're, like, oh you're too, small you're too,
- 1:05:52Speaker 7: Slow LIKE i can't.
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: Do much about. THAT i am probably too, small too,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: slow no, Heart come, on that's the easiest one to.
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: Disprove what real love?
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: Me some woody page though on the on the around the,
- 1:06:04Speaker 4: horn rip rip two around the?
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: Horn all? Right?
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: Uh some an update here in The Daily dump on
- 1:06:12Speaker 1: The utah basketball. Front remember when we were talking about
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: The israeli commit no mi ilkov uh and like there's
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: been paperwork, questions there's been eligibility for AN nba.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: Draft, process questions about all these. Things, uh he was
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: on campus On, wednesday and we still don't know his
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: final decision in the pre draft process for THE.
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: Nba the projection has him in the second. Round if
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: he is drafted in the second, round there's still a
- 1:06:47Speaker 1: chance he would play At utah in the twenty twenty
- 1:06:51Speaker 1: six twenty twenty seven. SEASON i don't know how that,
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: works If i'm being, honest it would be the reason
- 1:06:56Speaker 1: why from WHAT i FROM i read, here the reason
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: why there's still a d chance he does that is
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: because that's a non guaranteed contract and he might just like.
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: He might just say no. Thanks, yeah he might just
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: say no, Thanks i'll keep. PLAYING i don't know how
- 1:07:10Speaker 4: that particular part, works, LIKE i. DON'T i don't know
- 1:07:12Speaker 4: the draftees really have that much say in the whole,
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: Thing BUT, i at least from what When i'm, reading,
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: uh he is the Only the only way That yakov
- 1:07:24Speaker 4: is guaranteed not to play At utah next year is
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: if he's a gets a guaranteed contract in THE, nba
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: guaranteed roster spot in THE nba first round, pick or
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: some kind of undrafted free, agent guaranteed spot type of,
- 1:07:37Speaker 4: thing which seems unlikely at this. Point so it's a
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: it's a COMPLICATED nba draft process for. Him but he
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: did visit, campus he took. Pictures he seems to be
- 1:07:50Speaker 4: preparing as if he's going to be on the running
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: new roster this. Year but something to, watch especially as
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: we get to THE Nba draft next.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: Week we haven't had a chance to get to this
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: so far this.
- 1:08:04Speaker 7: Week i've had it on the daily dump list FOR
- 1:08:06Speaker 7: i don't know a few days.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: Now we've seen stadium.
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: Improvement projects locally right, Obviously Rice Ecle stadium got the
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: south end zone facelift not so long, ago and, beautiful, lovely,
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: incredible AND i know that those things are. Pricey you
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: get the new video, board you get this insane amount
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: of concrete work AND vip seating and, fireplaces you, know gas,
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: fireplaces all this great.
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: Stuff it's, great, wonderful and sometimes you just got to
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: pay for.
- 1:08:40Speaker 7: That, florida The university Of florida is going to upgrade
- 1:08:45Speaker 7: one of the most iconic stadiums at all of college,
- 1:08:47Speaker 7: football the Swamp Ben Hill Griffin.
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: Stadium did you know that was the official name of the,
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: Stadium JAMES.
- 1:08:53Speaker 4: I, did, actually but not until a couple of years,
- 1:08:56Speaker 4: ago so probably not Until utah played them for the
- 1:08:59Speaker 4: FIRST i did not know it had an official name like.
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: That so The.
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: Swamp they've been talking about improving The swamp and kind
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: of the same thing you see in here with, everything
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: with every single stadium project that.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Happens all we need more premium.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Seating all we need to take advantage of some stuff
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: that's more down that closer to field, levels some bunker
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: suites that think they like to call, them and they
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: wanted to add premium. Seating we got to try to
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: improve our parking, situation our handicap access to, bathrooms, concessions
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: all that. Stuff, right this is not a tear down and,
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: rebuild but they're going to improve the.
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: Stadium and the first bid that they were talking.
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: About voting and approving was somewhere three hundred four hundred million,
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: dollars which is insanely expensive but kind of what you.
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: Expect reports this week indicate that the final number that
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: The Florida provosts and company are a proving to upgrade
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: The swamp give it a, facelift is now one point
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: four or five billion, dollars not for a new, stadium
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: for improvements on the iconic old. Stadium and they're trying
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: to play this balancing game where you do make it
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: a little bit more, modern a little bit, fresher but
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: you don't compromise any of the classic character of the,
- 1:10:29Speaker 1: swamp WHICH i will admit is a very delicate needle
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: to thread and probably very. Difficult and anything that's difficult
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: usually requires a little bit more. Money but a lot
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: of that is just seems like it should just be.
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: Designed in any, case one point four or five billion
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: dollars for stadium improvements not a brand new stadium is
- 1:10:52Speaker 1: is just.
- 1:10:52Speaker 2: Disgusting it's. Insane that doesn't even make. Sense you can
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: build a new.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: Stadium for That South florida down the road From florida
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: is building a brand new. STADIUM i mean a quarter
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: of the capacity this. Momp but they're building a brand
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: new stadium for a quarter.
- 1:11:08Speaker 7: Of the, price like ripping down the other stuff building
- 1:11:13Speaker 7: something new for much less than half of this.
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: Fine This james reeks of.
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: Like mob money laundering if it gets funneled back into,
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: players and that's how you're baying for your. Nil MAYBE
- 1:11:27Speaker 1: i don't, know one point four or five billion dollars
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: to upgrade.
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: An old stadium feels like something fishy to, me.
- 1:11:34Speaker 4: And it's it's PROBABLY i don't know you were you
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: were the one that reading the reports about.
- 1:11:40Speaker 5: THIS i.
- 1:11:40Speaker 4: HAVEN'T i haven't read any of, them but it sounds
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: to me like it's or it seems to me like
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: it's probably some public, funding not only because they're a public,
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: university but like even more than, that like we see professional.
- 1:11:52Speaker 4: STADIUMS i would guess right they some kind of some
- 1:11:56Speaker 4: kind of raising in local. Taxes you would think for
- 1:11:59Speaker 4: some to be able to get that much money for
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: something like, This speaking of what they're trying to, do
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: because The swamp is such an old building and it
- 1:12:10Speaker 4: has so much of that charm and history of the,
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: old the the oldness with it, right it reminds. You
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: it reminds me of the old base some of the
- 1:12:21Speaker 4: old baseball. Stadiums Fenway park has threaded this needle over
- 1:12:24Speaker 4: the last twenty, years trying to upgrade its amenities while
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: also keeping it the old ballpark that's been around for
- 1:12:34Speaker 4: over almost one hundred and twenty. Years And Wrigley field's
- 1:12:37Speaker 4: done the same thing in with the cubs recent change
- 1:12:42Speaker 4: in ownership not all that recent, anymore but their their
- 1:12:45Speaker 4: current ownership has done a lot of that. Too it
- 1:12:47Speaker 4: makes me wonder, like did they these guys consult those baseball,
- 1:12:52Speaker 4: stadiums because those are the only ones that you can
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: really compare and, say how do you do?
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: THIS i have no idea who they. Consulted i'm looking
- 1:13:02Speaker 2: at it's the company.
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: Associated maybe we can look this up for The Fenway
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: park and. Whatnot the company is a main It's Manhattan.
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: Construction Manhattan Construction group And Hunt Construction group will serve
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: as the management.
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: Teams, interesting.
- 1:13:22Speaker 1: Okay expanded, concourses improved concessions and, restrooms enhanced, accessibility upgraded technology,
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: infrastructure improve video and audio, systems and expanded premium hospitality.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: Areas this is about five.
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: Hundred million dollars more expensive than any renovation project has ever,
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: been and they're doing it at The. Swamp it's supposed

- 1:21:07Speaker 11: under par record for A Us.
- 1:21:09Speaker 7: Open At Shinnecock, hills but plenty of golf left to be.
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: Played some news from The National Hockey. League Jonathan, taves
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: three Time Stanley cup champion he also won Two olympic gold,
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: medals has decided to retire at thirty eight years of.
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: Age he's had some struggles. Recently he was out of
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: the game for a couple of seasons because of LONG
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: covid and crazy immune like auto immune issues that were going,
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: on but played for his Hometown Winnipeg jets this last
- 1:21:51Speaker 1: season after a career fifteen seasons with The Chicago. Blackhawks
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: they won The cup in twenty, ten twenty, thirteen two and.
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: Fifteen he won The Consmite trophy in twenty ten in that.
- 1:22:04Speaker 1: Series And Jonathan taves is. Out he is retiring from
- 1:22:11Speaker 1: professional hockey after a very long and decorated, career not without,
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: controversy but thirty eight years of, age he's hanging it,
- 1:22:20Speaker 1: up and it to, me this feels a little bit
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: like Like Alex.
- 1:22:26Speaker 2: Smith Remember Alex.
- 1:22:27Speaker 7: Smith he went through the, process the rehab process of
- 1:22:33Speaker 7: getting himself after that gruesome leg, injury after that devastating
- 1:22:37Speaker 7: leg break and the surgeries and the infection and more
- 1:22:40Speaker 7: surgeries and things.
- 1:22:41Speaker 1: Like, that rather than just hanging it up and retiring.
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: There it's like he had to prove to himself that
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: he could do. It And Jonathan taves kind of did
- 1:22:50Speaker 1: the same thing where he was it was not a leg,
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: break it wasn't an orthopedic. Injury it, was you, know
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: his body shutting, down it was LONG, covid it was
- 1:23:00Speaker 1: all that, stuff and he battled, back got himself back
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: on the ice for a final, season ended up scoring
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: twenty nine, points eleven, goals eighteen assists in this, season
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: and he peered in all eighty two, games and it's
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: like he just needed to tell he needed to prove
- 1:23:15Speaker 1: to himself he could do. That it's kind of the
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: impression THAT i, get WHICH i think is exactly how
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: it went For Alex, smith where he just needed to
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: prove that he could get back on a football.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: FIELD i mean he had a.
- 1:23:26Speaker 1: Drop, foot, effectively his leg didn't work the same, way
- 1:23:29Speaker 1: and he still got back in and he still played professional.
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: Football and it's, like once he had proven to himself
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: that he was capable of doing, that he's, like all,
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: right Now i'm.
- 1:23:39Speaker 2: Satisfied Now i'm. DONE i get.
- 1:23:41Speaker 1: That this last season was sort of that For Jonathan,
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: taves and after a decorated, career he's hanging it up
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: with plenty of. Hardware Three Stanley, cups Two olympic gold,
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: medals and a Consmythe trophy As PLAYOFF mvp from all
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: the way back in twenty.
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: Ten so another one of the league's.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: Greats from That Sidney Crosby ovechkin. Generation they're they're finishing it,
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: out they're wrapping it, up they're letting the guard. Change

- 1:31:22Speaker 9: It there's there's no question That windham got to play
- 1:31:26Speaker 9: when the wind was laying down, yesterday and so, okay that's.
- 1:31:30Speaker 9: Fine that's that's the way the game, Goes.
- 1:31:33Speaker 5: Uh and he's doing some amazing. Things what do we know.
- 1:31:40Speaker 2: About Jason day being carted off yesterday after an.
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: Injury, YEAH i hope he's.
- 1:31:46Speaker 9: OKAY i don't know any details on.
- 1:31:48Speaker 5: That you.
- 1:31:50Speaker 9: KNOW i will say this About Jason day and AND
- 1:31:54Speaker 9: i want to do so in the context of immense.
- 1:31:57Speaker 9: Respect he's a major champion, winner he has been number
- 1:32:01Speaker 9: one in the world golf. Rankings but he has an
- 1:32:04Speaker 9: element in his swing that creates a torsonal torsional stress
- 1:32:09Speaker 9: that leads to. Injuries and from this from his very
- 1:32:14Speaker 9: earliest days when he first emerged on the nash on
- 1:32:17Speaker 9: the on the international, SCENE i, thought this is a
- 1:32:21Speaker 9: swing that will not cannot survive with found, injury and
- 1:32:27Speaker 9: he has shown a bit of that over the years
- 1:32:30Speaker 9: he's had. INJURIES i hope nothing serious is happening to him.
- 1:32:34Speaker 2: Now, uh you'll have to forgive, Me. PAUL i don't
- 1:32:37Speaker 2: know a lot About Keith, mitchell but he was he
- 1:32:43Speaker 2: was up and. Down YET i guess it was down and.
- 1:32:46Speaker 1: Up yesterday the way you would probably talk about it
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: from the trend of his golf. Game, uh, disastrous disastrous
- 1:32:53Speaker 1: start to his round and then finished really.
- 1:32:56Speaker 2: Strong, okay so how walk me through?
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: This walk me through a day like this for a
- 1:33:04Speaker 1: professional golfer at THE Us Open boge's double bogies and
- 1:33:11Speaker 1: then somehow you're hitting birdies and ingles eagles in your second.
- 1:33:14Speaker 9: Nine, yeah there are some mysteries out there that are
- 1:33:18Speaker 9: hard to. Know and If keith or anybody could answer
- 1:33:22Speaker 9: the question of exactly how do you do? It believe,
- 1:33:24Speaker 9: me he'd be bottling it and selling. It But Kashmir
- 1:33:29Speaker 9: keith one of my favorite guys on, tour a lot
- 1:33:33Speaker 9: of game and really cool. Guy he struggled in his opening,
- 1:33:38Speaker 9: round which was on his opening, nine pardon me on the,
- 1:33:41Speaker 9: backside and then turned around and just went lights. Out
- 1:33:46Speaker 9: every once in a, while these, guys the talent level
- 1:33:49Speaker 9: is so. Deep sometimes they just kind of zone out
- 1:33:53Speaker 9: and the talent takes over very. Clearly that's what happened With.
- 1:33:57Speaker 9: Keith and he shucked twenty nine after forty one on
- 1:34:02Speaker 9: his on his opening, nine and you, know you look
- 1:34:04Speaker 9: at the, card he's even par ho. Hum, no it
- 1:34:07Speaker 9: was anything but.
- 1:34:07Speaker 5: Tohum it. Was it. Was it was, amazing.
- 1:34:11Speaker 2: Pretty crazy.
- 1:34:12Speaker 1: Round and, look you had some guys with their their
- 1:34:15Speaker 1: second round, today maybe they were quiet on day.
- 1:34:18Speaker 2: ONE a couple of guys came.
- 1:34:20Speaker 1: Roaring back up the leaderboard on the second, day and you,
- 1:34:24Speaker 1: know for someone like what was It? MORIKAWA i think
- 1:34:27Speaker 1: was five under? Today Is Ander shaffley had a great
- 1:34:31Speaker 1: day to what do you attribute the strong second rounds
- 1:34:33Speaker 1: from those.
- 1:34:34Speaker 9: Guys the look at the top of the leader board
- 1:34:39Speaker 9: and just start counting down From Wyndham clark down the,
- 1:34:42Speaker 9: top and what you get is major, winner major, winner major,
- 1:34:46Speaker 9: winner major. Winner there are eight major winners in the top.
- 1:34:49Speaker 9: Ten what that shows is cream is rising to the,
- 1:34:53Speaker 9: top and that Is. Shinnacock shinnacock demands the very best
- 1:34:59Speaker 9: and is only the very best who will.
- 1:35:01Speaker 5: Emerge and so.
- 1:35:03Speaker 9: This is the one thing THAT i absolutely expected going
- 1:35:07Speaker 9: into THIS Us, open is That shinnecock would force the
- 1:35:10Speaker 9: very greatest best players with a proven track record and
- 1:35:15Speaker 9: a proven ability to withstand the cauldron of a major,
- 1:35:20Speaker 9: championship in particular THE Us. Open and so it is
- 1:35:23Speaker 9: no accident in my view that what you see at
- 1:35:26Speaker 9: the top of the leaderboard are major CHAMPIONS Us open,
- 1:35:30Speaker 9: winners people who have proved they can walk this. Path
- 1:35:36Speaker 9: and so to your question of what makes them turn it.
- 1:35:40Speaker 9: On they know who they, are they know they have that,
- 1:35:43Speaker 9: talent and they step up and bring their. Game it
- 1:35:47Speaker 9: is not more complicated than the very best rise to
- 1:35:52Speaker 9: the very hardest.
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: Test Zach, blair even through two, rounds If i'm not
- 1:35:58Speaker 1: mistaken any plus one, today maybe what do.
- 1:36:04Speaker 2: You make of his?
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: Chances because it feels like that this course is in
- 1:36:08Speaker 1: some ways, Unforgiving but because it's equally hard on, everybody
- 1:36:12Speaker 1: maybe you can climb if you have a couple of
- 1:36:14Speaker 1: good rounds this.
- 1:36:15Speaker 2: Weekend it's equally hard on.
- 1:36:18Speaker 9: Everybody that's a very good point and equally demanding of.
- 1:36:21Speaker 9: Everybody but, look we all Know zach and we love.
- 1:36:24Speaker 9: Him we've been following him since he was a little.
- 1:36:26Speaker 9: Kid this this guy has.
- 1:36:29Speaker 5: Talent this guy has.
- 1:36:30Speaker 9: Game and there are two things in particular About Zach
- 1:36:34Speaker 9: blair's game that match up well With. Shinnakok number, one
- 1:36:37Speaker 9: he keeps the ball in front of. Him he keeps
- 1:36:39Speaker 9: the ball in. Play shinnacock people will talk about the wide. Fairways,
- 1:36:44Speaker 9: yeah they're. Wide they also are sloped and contoured and
- 1:36:46Speaker 9: there's a lot of crosswind going on at At. Shinnacock
- 1:36:51Speaker 9: and the difference between being on the, fairway and slightly
- 1:36:54Speaker 9: off fairway can be. Catastrophic Zach blair keeps the ball in.
- 1:36:59Speaker 9: Play he keeps the ball in front of. Him number,
- 1:37:01Speaker 9: one number. Two he is a superlative world class elite wedge.
- 1:37:07Speaker 9: Player he is one of the best walking the planet
- 1:37:10Speaker 9: with a wedge in his. Hand and so when he
- 1:37:13Speaker 9: gets into a position where he's got a, wedge whether
- 1:37:16Speaker 9: it's to save part or attack for a, Birdie Zach
- 1:37:19Speaker 9: blair is in the. Game and so it really doesn't
- 1:37:22Speaker 9: surprise me that he is in the top twenty. Ish
- 1:37:25Speaker 9: it's jumping around right, now but let's call it top.
- 1:37:28Speaker 9: Twenty doesn't really surprise me that he is there is
- 1:37:31Speaker 9: demanding the shinakok. Is this is a guy who has
- 1:37:35Speaker 9: characteristics that match up well with the.
- 1:37:37Speaker 2: Course all, Right so who's still within striking? Distance given
- 1:37:41Speaker 2: What Wyndham clark has done to pull himself away from
- 1:37:45Speaker 2: the rest of the leaders so, far who is still
- 1:37:48Speaker 2: within striking distance as we get into the, Weekend.
- 1:37:51Speaker 9: Everybody in the top, ten and especially not only just,
- 1:37:56Speaker 9: mathematically you've got to grab, them but also, because like
- 1:38:01Speaker 9: we just, discussed look at who they. Are these are
- 1:38:04Speaker 9: people who have proven they can meet the.
- 1:38:07Speaker 5: Moment but having.
- 1:38:10Speaker 9: Said, that there's an open. Question clark sits with a
- 1:38:13Speaker 9: four shot lead right now going into the afternoon round On,
- 1:38:18Speaker 9: friday and the wins will pick up in the. Afternoon
- 1:38:22Speaker 9: is he having A tiger?
- 1:38:23Speaker 5: Moment you?
- 1:38:24Speaker 9: Know tiger wins the ninety Seven masters by. Twelve he
- 1:38:29Speaker 9: wins the two THOUSAND Us open by. Fifteen are we
- 1:38:34Speaker 9: watching a moment where somebody runs away with and obliterates
- 1:38:37Speaker 9: a field in a major. Championship maybe yet to be.
- 1:38:41Speaker 9: SEEN i think it's more likely that things bunch up
- 1:38:46Speaker 9: at the top of the leader board and That wyndham
- 1:38:49Speaker 9: comes back a little. Bit but having said, THAT i
- 1:38:53Speaker 9: could be very. Wrong he might run away with. It
- 1:38:55Speaker 9: he is a FORMER Us open, Champion he's already won
- 1:38:59Speaker 9: One Los Angeles Country club a couple of years. Ago
- 1:39:04Speaker 9: but everybody in the top ten right, now you figure
- 1:39:07Speaker 9: they're going to be in the mix On.
- 1:39:09Speaker 1: Sunday given what the scores look like right, now we could,
- 1:39:14Speaker 1: Double we could even. Triple we could quadruple the number
- 1:39:18Speaker 1: of players in history at A Us open At shinnecock
- 1:39:21Speaker 1: that have finished under.
- 1:39:22Speaker 2: Par, yeah, okay If i'm Putting i'm giving you the OPTION,
- 1:39:27Speaker 2: A b OR.
- 1:39:27Speaker 1: C we will double that, number we will triple that,
- 1:39:31Speaker 1: number we will quadruple that, number OR i guess less
- 1:39:35Speaker 1: than double like you would. Have it would take a
- 1:39:38Speaker 1: lot of these guys struggling through the. Weekend what is
- 1:39:41Speaker 1: the most likely outcome for?
- 1:39:42Speaker 5: You i'm gonna say? Double, okay, YEAH i go at.
- 1:39:49Speaker 2: Least three of these guys will finish under Part.
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: YEAH i can see that.
- 1:39:56Speaker 9: An awfully lot more than. That the wind will have
- 1:39:59Speaker 9: to lay. DOWN i don't think that's going to. Happen
- 1:40:05Speaker 9: shinnacock is still. Shinnecock it's so. Hard do you have
- 1:40:11Speaker 9: a favorite hole or a favorite couple of.
- 1:40:12Speaker 1: Holes i'll be honest with, You, Paul i'm definitely not
- 1:40:15Speaker 1: going to sit down and watch the whole. Thing i'm
- 1:40:18Speaker 1: not going to sit down and watch a whole round.
- 1:40:19Speaker 2: Tomorrow we're On.
- 1:40:20Speaker 1: Sunday but If i'm cherry picking the holes THAT i
- 1:40:24Speaker 1: want to watch to really give me something emblematic of
- 1:40:28Speaker 1: the shinnacock experience in THE Us, open which holes SHOULD
- 1:40:31Speaker 1: i be?
- 1:40:31Speaker 9: Watching let me make three quick comments about. That first of,
- 1:40:35Speaker 9: all number seven is one of the great par three's
- 1:40:37Speaker 9: in the. World it has what's called a Red dan
- 1:40:41Speaker 9: green complex, design but it is one of the more
- 1:40:44Speaker 9: severe Red dans in the. World it is so difficult
- 1:40:47Speaker 9: to get to the right spot on the green and
- 1:40:49Speaker 9: get the ball to stay in the right spot on the.
- 1:40:52Speaker 9: Green so watch what happens at number. Seven second Observation
- 1:40:56Speaker 9: number eighteen is one of the great finishing.
- 1:40:58Speaker 5: Holes in the.
- 1:40:59Speaker 9: World regardless of where we get On, sunday if there
- 1:41:03Speaker 9: is any kind of open unanswered question remaining On sunday,
- 1:41:08Speaker 9: evening eighteen will have a say in. It it is
- 1:41:12Speaker 9: just such a great and demanding finishing. Hole and THEN
- 1:41:16Speaker 9: i want to note a fascinating AND i think very
- 1:41:19Speaker 9: impactful design, characteristic giving the nature of the land they're
- 1:41:23Speaker 9: on there and the way the winds. Shift there are
- 1:41:26Speaker 9: three different sections of the course where the holes are
- 1:41:29Speaker 9: in triangular, shape three holes in a, triangle three holes
- 1:41:32Speaker 9: in a, triangle and then one that's four holes in a.
- 1:41:34Speaker 9: Triangle and the purpose was to intentionally make the players
- 1:41:39Speaker 9: hit all sides of the, wind regardless of whatever direction
- 1:41:43Speaker 9: the wind might be coming from that day or that.
- 1:41:46Speaker 5: Hour and so that.
- 1:41:48Speaker 9: Characteristic of the course is one of the things that
- 1:41:51Speaker 9: makes it so, great and it's something to keep an
- 1:41:54Speaker 9: eye on as.
- 1:41:55Speaker 1: WELL a lot less pleasant the thing to ask, About
- 1:42:00Speaker 1: BUT i want to make sure that before you get
- 1:42:03Speaker 1: out of, HERE i get at least a thought. On you,
- 1:42:05Speaker 1: Know Phil mickelson appears to be falling from grace and
- 1:42:09Speaker 1: now there's you, know a lot of. This he's disputing
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: the narrative, here and his lawyer's disputing the narrative. Here
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: how is, golf professional, golf the golf community handling what's
- 1:42:20Speaker 1: going on With Phil.
- 1:42:21Speaker 2: Michelson it's.
- 1:42:24Speaker 5: Sad phil is a great.
- 1:42:26Speaker 9: Champion he has been a great ambassador of the. Game
- 1:42:30Speaker 9: he's one of the great thinkers of the. GAME i
- 1:42:33Speaker 9: Think Phil nicholson is a great person in the. Game
- 1:42:39Speaker 9: having said, that he also has demonstrated an ability to
- 1:42:43Speaker 9: exercise poor. Judgment AND i would just observe that as
- 1:42:50Speaker 9: soon as the lawyers are, involved when we are quoting,
- 1:42:53Speaker 9: lawyers you've already. Lost it's a question you're negotiating the
- 1:42:57Speaker 9: terms of your. Loss And i'm afraid that that might
- 1:43:01Speaker 9: be where we are With. Phil it is so sad
- 1:43:03Speaker 9: to me that one of the great people in the
- 1:43:05Speaker 9: game historically will now have this big asterisk on his.
- 1:43:12Speaker 9: Legacy i'm just sad about.
- 1:43:14Speaker 2: It it's unfortunate to see whenever the great, athletes the
- 1:43:18Speaker 2: great achievers in any, sport you, know fall from that
- 1:43:22Speaker 2: pedestal that we put them.
- 1:43:24Speaker 1: On back to THE Us, open BEFORE i let you,
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: Go Wyndham clark or the, field if you had to
- 1:43:30Speaker 1: take one heading in with a four stroke lead Into

- 1:43:46Speaker 9: Us open he won at at the Lacc is was
- 1:43:49Speaker 9: in a fundamentally different kind of golf course Than. Shinnecock
- 1:43:53Speaker 9: but the reality is he's got a four shot lead right. Now,
- 1:43:56Speaker 9: however in taking the, field even in the look at

- 1:46:45Speaker 1: The World cup dropt and crammed down my throat every four.
- 1:46:48Speaker 2: YEARS i love, boxing many. DON'T i don't persecute people who.
- 1:46:53Speaker 1: DON'T i don't do, golf soccer or. Tennis if you do,
- 1:46:57Speaker 1: Awesome i'm getting tired of hearing HOW i don't Understand it's.
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: SIMPLE i don't enjoy watching. IT i don't care who's,
- 1:47:04Speaker 1: playing all, Right tyson not probably liking this show as
- 1:47:10Speaker 1: much these days because we're talking plenty Of World. Cup
- 1:47:13Speaker 1: it is a massive. Event it's LIKE i, said for,
- 1:47:16Speaker 1: me it's it's equivalent to The. OLYMPICS i know that
- 1:47:19Speaker 1: around the world it's a bigger deal than The olympics
- 1:47:22Speaker 1: for most. People But, tyson your grievance is.
- 1:47:26Speaker 4: Considered, Yeah i'll Just i'll just ask this Of, tyson
- 1:47:32Speaker 4: do you and maybe this is maybe it truly is
- 1:47:36Speaker 4: more aggressive among the circles that he that he walks.
- 1:47:41Speaker 4: In but as far as how we're doing it on
- 1:47:43Speaker 4: The sean O'Connell, SHOW i don't believe we're being too.
- 1:47:46Speaker 4: AGGRESSIVE i don't believe that they're doing that on the drive.
- 1:47:50Speaker 1: Either i'm certainly not telling people that they just don't
- 1:47:52Speaker 1: they don't like it because they don't, understand, because like
- 1:47:56Speaker 1: my understanding of soccer is rudimentary at.
- 1:47:58Speaker 7: BEST i, MEAN i appreciate this event for what it.
- 1:48:01Speaker 7: IS i appreciate the sort of.
- 1:48:04Speaker 1: Ubiquity of you, know how many people around the world
- 1:48:08Speaker 1: care about, it love, it et. Cetera i'm loving The
- 1:48:10Speaker 1: World cup content right. Now i'm also totally with you
- 1:48:14Speaker 1: if you. Don't AND i THINK i understand the point he's.
- 1:48:17Speaker 1: Making like he loves, boxing a lot of people just
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: like have no idea what they're. Watching they don't understand
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: why other people like. Boxing the same is true of
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: mixed martial. Arts SO i get. It soccer is not
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: everyone's cup of. Tea it's not necessarily my cup of,
- 1:48:32Speaker 1: tea but this time of year every four, Years i'm happy.
- 1:48:35Speaker 2: To make it a cup of.
- 1:48:36Speaker 4: Tea, Yeah AND i only bring up what we how
- 1:48:39Speaker 4: we're trying to do it as as soccer, novices you,
- 1:48:42Speaker 4: know trying to trying to make sure that we're talking
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: about this tournament because there's plenty that are that are into.
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: It BECAUSE i feel like in when there's other topics
- 1:48:54Speaker 4: that people, say stop shoving that down my, throat whether you,
- 1:48:57Speaker 4: know you can think of certain political or so causes.
- 1:49:00Speaker 4: Whatever i'm not gonna say anything, specific but you can
- 1:49:03Speaker 4: think of, those those kind of things come to mind
- 1:49:04Speaker 4: for me a lot of times when people say that's
- 1:49:08Speaker 4: being shoved down their, throat there's it's just people are
- 1:49:11Speaker 4: just talking about. It they're not necessarily forcing you to
- 1:49:14Speaker 4: care about. It it's just it's just being talked. About
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: SO i just, wonder are we are being a little
- 1:49:19Speaker 4: too sensitive about people just talking about how cool this
- 1:49:23Speaker 4: is being In america or is? It are there people
- 1:49:26Speaker 4: really being way too aggressive being like why don't you
- 1:49:29Speaker 4: just understand the way that he said, it Which i'm
- 1:49:31Speaker 4: sure that's the case because he went out of his
- 1:49:33Speaker 4: way to say it that.
- 1:49:34Speaker 2: Way i'll just say that eight.
- 1:49:36Speaker 1: Seven seven three five three zero seven. HUNDRED i will say.
- 1:49:39Speaker 1: This i'm gonna air a grievance about The World. Cup
- 1:49:42Speaker 1: this is a grievance THAT i have permanently with the
- 1:49:44Speaker 1: game of. Soccer, okay just stop. Flopping stop the, flopping.
- 1:49:49Speaker 1: Man it really is. Embarrassing it is a, terrible terrible.
- 1:49:52Speaker 1: Look and, honestly the effort these guys go to to
- 1:49:56Speaker 1: like fall in a theatrical way is far more danger
- 1:50:00Speaker 1: then just falling, down like when someone comes in with
- 1:50:03Speaker 1: a slide tackle and clips you on the shin or.
- 1:50:06Speaker 2: Whatever, Yeah i'm sure that.
- 1:50:07Speaker 1: Hurts but the flailing and the fact that they like
- 1:50:12Speaker 1: twist their bodies as they're going down and they throw
- 1:50:16Speaker 1: their heads back with this big like they've been hit
- 1:50:19Speaker 1: by a, sniper knock it.
- 1:50:21Speaker 2: Off it really does need to.
- 1:50:23Speaker 1: Stop AND i was blindly hopeful that An american And
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: North american Hosted World cup might call it either more
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: onto the carpet and make people feel more self conscious
- 1:50:36Speaker 1: about it or. Whatever but in international soccer it is for,
- 1:50:40Speaker 1: me it is the number one deterrent for learning to
- 1:50:44Speaker 1: love this game the way that other people. Do it's
- 1:50:46Speaker 1: LIKE mls, soccer it's not as bad this international soccer.
- 1:50:49Speaker 1: Stuff it is disgusting how bad it is ANY i,
- 1:50:53Speaker 1: mean we're, Watching we're in the thirty sixth minute OF
- 1:50:56Speaker 1: usa Versus.
- 1:50:56Speaker 2: Australia i've seen a couple Of american players do. It
- 1:50:59Speaker 2: knock it.
- 1:50:59Speaker 4: Off, yeah it's it's really bad Oc and it's it's
- 1:51:03Speaker 4: why when a lot of people can plain about the
- 1:51:07Speaker 4: prevalence of that kind of flopping in recent, years over
- 1:51:11Speaker 4: the last twenty years or so in THE, nba it's
- 1:51:14Speaker 4: WHY i don't really argue very much with those people
- 1:51:17Speaker 4: that SAY i just can't stand that, flopping because there's
- 1:51:20Speaker 4: so much like instead of just playing the, game there's
- 1:51:26Speaker 4: so much, like, WELL i gotta sell this so that
- 1:51:28Speaker 4: THE i make the ref see what's going. On i'm, like,
- 1:51:31Speaker 4: well if you just play in THE, nba maybe more
- 1:51:35Speaker 4: shots go, in maybe you miss less layups because you're
- 1:51:38Speaker 4: not trying to sell a. Foul for, example if you
- 1:51:41Speaker 4: just play when you, soccer maybe maybe there'll be less.
- 1:51:45Speaker 4: Injuries to your point about the exaggeration you're doing maybe
- 1:51:48Speaker 4: being a little more harmful than the actual damage that
- 1:51:52Speaker 4: you're taking from from the foul you're trying to sell, here,
- 1:51:55Speaker 4: LIKE i just, it it. Is it is way too.
- 1:51:58Speaker 2: MUCH i think THAT i Hope Oklahoma city is Forcing
- 1:52:03Speaker 2: Shay Gildess alexander to watch every single match so he
- 1:52:08Speaker 2: has to see what it looks. Like he's, like oh,
- 1:52:12Speaker 2: man why are they doing?
- 1:52:13Speaker 1: That and then people are, like, dude you do the
- 1:52:15Speaker 1: same thing on a basketball. Floor so it's hard to
- 1:52:19Speaker 1: recognize errors in your own. Behavior it's always easy to
- 1:52:22Speaker 1: point it out for somebody else in somebody else's. Behavior
- 1:52:24Speaker 1: so my hope is that he's being forced to watch
- 1:52:29Speaker 1: all of this floppage in The World cup eight seven
- 1:52:32Speaker 1: seven three five three zero seven hundred air year, Grievances,
- 1:52:35Speaker 1: JAMES i asked you to pull a SoundBite to air this.

- 1:53:04Speaker 2: Well obviously he was Named FINALS, mvp LIKE i just.
- 1:53:08Speaker 1: Mentioned and of, course part of the, storyline part of
- 1:53:11Speaker 1: the human interest piece here is, that you, know he's
- 1:53:14Speaker 1: got Some New york. Roots he's got a connection that
- 1:53:18Speaker 1: a lot of other players and a lot of other
- 1:53:20Speaker 1: people can't even begin to understand because his own dad
- 1:53:25Speaker 1: was A New York. Nick and then you, know you
- 1:53:27Speaker 1: saw the, pictures you saw the videos of his, dad
- 1:53:29Speaker 1: you saw the proud pop.
- 1:53:31Speaker 2: Up, well here's a piece of sound and Then i'll
- 1:53:33Speaker 2: air my.
- 1:53:34Speaker 7: Grievance but just just take a listen To Rick, brunson the,
- 1:53:38Speaker 7: dad and To Jalen, brunson and just, Yeah, james go
- 1:53:45Speaker 7: ahead and hit.
- 1:53:45Speaker 2: IT i, Say jack was the greatest phrases.
- 1:53:49Speaker 5: Nignty he.
- 1:53:51Speaker 3: Was, yeah but he. Was he was a number one
- 1:53:53Speaker 3: pick in the. Draft but so you, EXPECTED i, mean
- 1:53:57Speaker 3: he left.
- 1:54:00Speaker 13: To stop the argument to you, KNOW i love my Son,
- 1:54:03Speaker 13: patrick the best nick That i've ever witnessed.
- 1:54:08Speaker 3: That people like you know. It, well that's What i'm gonna.
- 1:54:12Speaker 3: Say it's going to be.
- 1:54:13Speaker 13: Debatable, No, no it's going to be debatable now because
- 1:54:17Speaker 13: because the other, thing you, know what he has done
- 1:54:20Speaker 13: is he is ignited a culture that was not.
- 1:54:25Speaker 3: Lit it was the fuse was.
- 1:54:27Speaker 13: There it WAS i called it the the lamp that
- 1:54:30Speaker 13: was plugged in with no, power and they just it
- 1:54:34Speaker 13: was Not it was no power In New.
- 1:54:35Speaker 3: York and he brought the power To New. York if you.
- 1:54:50Speaker 1: Want to clarify that someone besides your own son who
- 1:54:57Speaker 1: just won a, championship who just accomplished something that my own,
- 1:55:00Speaker 1: beloved childhood favorite player was unable to, accomplish and, you
- 1:55:06Speaker 1: as the, dad want to point out, that, oh don't
- 1:55:09Speaker 1: don't give my guy too much credit, here don't give
- 1:55:11Speaker 1: my own son too much credit.
- 1:55:13Speaker 2: Here the Greatest nick Is. Patrick THAT i have a
- 1:55:16Speaker 2: significant grievance with.
- 1:55:19Speaker 1: That if you almost did, it if you almost won the,
- 1:55:25Speaker 1: championship if you almost were the guy who pushed this
- 1:55:28Speaker 1: franchise over a hump That Patrick ewing never got them,
- 1:55:31Speaker 1: over then, fine when somebody forces you into a corner
- 1:55:35Speaker 1: and asks you and makes you like you could tell the,
- 1:55:37Speaker 1: truth even then you should lie and just say my
- 1:55:40Speaker 1: son is the best. One BUT i got a real
- 1:55:44Speaker 1: grievance with dad making sure that everybody knows that even
- 1:55:50Speaker 1: after what his son, did.
- 1:55:54Speaker 2: He's not the.
- 1:55:54Speaker 1: Best Nick, LIKE i didn't have sports dad like this growing.
- 1:55:58Speaker 1: Up my dad is just like he's a, nerd he's an.
- 1:56:00Speaker 1: Academic he's someone that enjoyed watching us play sports but
- 1:56:04Speaker 1: didn't really care if we were good or bad or.
- 1:56:07Speaker 2: Whatever AND i never had that thing where your dad
- 1:56:11Speaker 2: was always, like, oh, yeah you better do.
- 1:56:13Speaker 1: Better you better score three touchdowns next, Time you better
- 1:56:16Speaker 1: hit two home runs next.
- 1:56:17Speaker 2: Time what do you gotta do to Get dad's? Approval?
- 1:56:21Speaker 1: Here if You're Jalen, BRUNSON i have agreements with, This James.
- 1:56:25Speaker 4: Yeah and he also there's two different. Ways he didn't
- 1:56:30Speaker 4: really try to pump his or prop his son up
- 1:56:33Speaker 4: when everyone else was doing. It and the first WAY
- 1:56:36Speaker 4: i don't necessarily agree. With but what we caught at
- 1:56:39Speaker 4: the beginning there was inside THE nba people on that
- 1:56:44Speaker 4: panel were talking About Jalen brunson is the greatest free
- 1:56:48Speaker 4: agent signing IN nba, history and he decided to say
- 1:56:52Speaker 4: it's Not, jalen It's shack because he was a free
- 1:56:54Speaker 4: agent when he went to The, lakers and so he
- 1:56:58Speaker 4: pushed his son aside the two in this. Conversation and
- 1:57:01Speaker 4: then he goes in and, says and he's also not
- 1:57:03Speaker 4: the greatest nick by the, way that's my my former,
- 1:57:06Speaker 4: Teammate Patrick. Ewing so, yeah it feels a little unnecessary
- 1:57:10Speaker 4: for him to do that in his son's big.
- 1:57:12Speaker 2: MOMENT i hate.
- 1:57:14Speaker 1: IT i, MEAN i cannot stand that his dad did.
- 1:57:17Speaker 1: This that's, yeah to, me that is truly. TERRIBLE i,
- 1:57:20Speaker 1: Mean i'm, sure LIKE i have no. Context he's probably
- 1:57:23Speaker 1: a good. Dad they're probably of a great. RELATIONSHIP i don't.
- 1:57:26Speaker 1: Whatever but, man in the moment on, television high profile,
- 1:57:32Speaker 1: spot you're just, like, hey just so you guys, know
- 1:57:34Speaker 1: It's Patrick, ewing it's not my.
- 1:57:36Speaker 2: Son.
- 1:57:36Speaker 4: Grievance what this is the same, guy by the, way
- 1:57:40Speaker 4: who days earlier When steph When Stefan cassel decided to
- 1:57:45Speaker 4: get In Jayleen brunson's face and do a trash talk
- 1:57:49Speaker 4: and make it a little physical There game two went
- 1:57:52Speaker 4: all the way saw that and must have Thought Jayalen
- 1:57:57Speaker 4: brunson was still nine years old and getting little scuffle
- 1:58:00Speaker 4: on the playground because he walked all the way down
- 1:58:03Speaker 4: from The knicks bench to stand right next To Mitch
- 1:58:06Speaker 4: johnson basically on The spurs bench to try to, say
- 1:58:09Speaker 4: don't talk to my son like. That that's the same
- 1:58:11Speaker 4: guy who, said, well my son's actually not as great
- 1:58:14Speaker 4: as you guys are saying he. Is it's very. INCONSISTENT
- 1:58:18Speaker 4: i don't get.
- 1:58:19Speaker 2: IT i don't like.
- 1:58:20Speaker 1: It all, right if your dad don't be like completely
- 1:58:26Speaker 1: unrealistic in guessing your kids. Up but when your kid
- 1:58:29Speaker 1: is AN Nba FINALS mvp and champion and the impetus
- 1:58:35Speaker 1: for the first parade for The New York knicks in
- 1:58:38Speaker 1: fifty three, years let him have his.
- 1:58:40Speaker 2: Flowers, yeah maybe you're not gonna you're not gonna give
- 1:58:43Speaker 2: him to.
- 1:58:43Speaker 1: Himimself just let him have him from everybody else and
- 1:58:46Speaker 1: keep your mouth.
- 1:58:47Speaker 4: Shut, yeah maybe just let everybody say unreasonable things about
- 1:58:51Speaker 4: him if that's how you. Feel what if that's what
- 1:58:54Speaker 4: you feel about what they're, saying just let. Them just
- 1:58:56Speaker 4: let them have the praise that he's getting heaped. Upon
- 1:58:59Speaker 4: it looks Like Jalen brunson isn't feeling any bad about
- 1:59:05Speaker 4: that at, all and nor should.
- 1:59:07Speaker 2: He he probably knows this is my. Dad it's. Whatever i'm,
- 1:59:11Speaker 2: sure it's, fine.
- 1:59:12Speaker 1: RIGHT i grew up with some people who had like
- 1:59:15Speaker 1: the hardcore sports, dads and it just became comical to
- 1:59:20Speaker 1: me how impossible it was for them to gain their
- 1:59:24Speaker 1: father's approval when they were like the best baseball player
- 1:59:28Speaker 1: or they had the most monster football game and their dad.
- 1:59:31Speaker 2: Just be, like, well you should have done. This it's,
- 1:59:33Speaker 2: like what do You you never did? That shut? Up,
- 1:59:35Speaker 2: Man LIKE i remember.
- 1:59:36Speaker 1: Being this arrogant seventeen year old just be, like why
- 1:59:39Speaker 1: are you saying that to my? Friend he's better than
- 1:59:42Speaker 1: you were at this. Game but you, know that's just
- 1:59:46Speaker 1: you and me.
- 1:59:47Speaker 4: Both thankfully we did not have parents that were that
- 1:59:51Speaker 4: way with us in. Sports but you know, what on
- 1:59:53Speaker 4: the other, SIDE o, see maybe that's. Why maybe that's
- 1:59:56Speaker 4: WHY i didn't make my varsity team and you didn't
- 1:59:59Speaker 4: go as far in football as you thought you, did
- 2:00:00Speaker 4: but you you did it IN mma, Though SO i don't.
- 2:00:03Speaker 2: KNOW i GUESS i don't. KNOW i.
- 2:00:05Speaker 1: DON'T i think maybe that's WHY i had to CHOOSE,
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: mma because you, know there's no. THERE mma hasn't been
- 2:00:11Speaker 1: around long enough for there to be the annoying sports
- 2:00:14Speaker 1: dads in MM. A, yeah like my generation is the
- 2:00:17Speaker 1: first annoying sports dads AT. Mma the guys that were
- 2:00:20Speaker 1: older than, me like, you there were there were no
- 2:00:23Speaker 1: people old enough to be my dad that WERE mma
- 2:00:27Speaker 1: fighters or champions EXCEPT i Guess Randy Cotur so literally. One,
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: yeah there's like one guy that could have been annoying
- 2:00:33Speaker 1: sports dat also was a fighter and ended up with you,
- 2:00:37Speaker 1: know pretty accomplished as a, fighter BUT i don't.
- 2:00:39Speaker 2: Think he was the annoying.
- 2:00:40Speaker 3: Kind.
- 2:00:41Speaker 4: Update IN us Men's national Team World cup Against, australia
- 2:00:45Speaker 4: they had a goal momentarily called back va r check
- 2:00:50Speaker 4: the instant, replay, right that's what they for the soccer
- 2:00:53Speaker 4: novices like you and. Me that's what they call instant
- 2:00:55Speaker 4: replay is vaar. Uh they reversed. It it was called
- 2:01:00Speaker 4: back on off. Side they reversed the, call and it's
- 2:01:04Speaker 4: a goal to to Nil TEAM. Usa end of the
- 2:01:08Speaker 4: first half here forty ish forty sixth, minute not in
- 2:01:14Speaker 4: stoppage time, yet but about to enter stoppage.
- 2:01:18Speaker 2: Time i'm sure to.
- 2:01:20Speaker 1: Nil sorry all you koala folks down there In, australia
- 2:01:27Speaker 1: but it looks like layup might have been the correct
- 2:01:29Speaker 1: term for this. GAME a gotcha at least minor agreements
- 2:01:34Speaker 1: for me from Against Mauricio poschattino for wearing like a
- 2:01:39Speaker 1: cool guy outfit matching set instead of a shirt and
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: tie or a sport coat and, tie or a sport
- 2:01:46Speaker 1: coat with you, KNOW i guess like a FORMAL t
- 2:01:50Speaker 1: shirt underneath. It i'm a big. FAN i wish that
- 2:01:54Speaker 1: in THE nfl they still wore suits on the. SIDELINE
- 2:01:57Speaker 1: i wish that there was a college football coach would.
- 2:01:59Speaker 3: Wear a to.
- 2:02:00Speaker 4: See they don't even wear suits in THE nba, anymore
- 2:02:04Speaker 4: which is.
- 2:02:04Speaker 7: Tragic that's such a cool look for a. Coach, yeah
- 2:02:08Speaker 7: and you see a.
- 2:02:09Speaker 2: Lot of these world These World cup. COACHES i, mean even.
- 2:02:12Speaker 1: If you go casual with the the tie and the
- 2:02:16Speaker 1: shirt sleeves rolled.
- 2:02:17Speaker 4: Up i'm even cool with. That seven minutes of stoppage.
- 2:02:22Speaker 4: Time by the, way they're through two of those so,
- 2:02:24Speaker 4: far so still quite a bit of time left in
- 2:02:26Speaker 4: the first, half as it were a lot of stoppage.
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: Time, yeah do you have any grievances before we get
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: out of? Here?
- 2:02:34Speaker 4: Yeah, so, uh spent some time with the with some
- 2:02:40Speaker 4: friends and some of their family was around kids and
- 2:02:43Speaker 4: every every you, know a couple of the their siblings
- 2:02:47Speaker 4: had had lots of kids and so a lot of
- 2:02:49Speaker 4: little kids running. Around spent some time with with those people,
- 2:02:52Speaker 4: recently and one of my friends was really upset with
- 2:03:00Speaker 4: was really bothered by one of their siblings who has
- 2:03:03Speaker 4: quite a few, children and they have their own, children
- 2:03:05Speaker 4: their own set of. Children they're like because their siblings
- 2:03:09Speaker 4: that this sibling would leave he and this in spouse
- 2:03:14Speaker 4: would leave the area and be and not even ask
- 2:03:17Speaker 4: permission to be, like, hey make sure you watch our
- 2:03:20Speaker 4: kids a little bit. Here they would just, leave and
- 2:03:23Speaker 4: so they're stuck watching the kids like this happens all the.
- 2:03:26Speaker 4: Time AND i was mad on their behalf, Right i'm
- 2:03:30Speaker 4: like that this really is ridiculous that they that they
- 2:03:33Speaker 4: do this to. You so my grievance is against, parents
- 2:03:38Speaker 4: particularly those close enough to where they just feel like
- 2:03:41Speaker 4: they don't have to ask to take on five more
- 2:03:45Speaker 4: kids after you already have three or four of, you
- 2:03:48Speaker 4: LIKE i ALREADY i already got a lot. Here like
- 2:03:51Speaker 4: parents who don't ask permission and just leave their their
- 2:03:56Speaker 4: large amount of young children to just be babysit by other,
- 2:04:00Speaker 4: people like at least ask, hey we gotta we we
- 2:04:03Speaker 4: gotta go somewhere you're good to, watch, Right and of
- 2:04:06Speaker 4: course if it's if it's a family, situation they're probably
- 2:04:09Speaker 4: going to say, yes of.
- 2:04:10Speaker 2: Course but.
- 2:04:13Speaker 1: If you just like offer the courteous, Hey i'm gonna
- 2:04:16Speaker 1: go grab some, milk will you watch my kids for
- 2:04:18Speaker 1: a second when there's already other kids, there one hundred
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: percent of the time the other adult is gonna say.
- 2:04:23Speaker 2: Yes but when it's just.
- 2:04:24Speaker 1: NOT i have a we have some friends that we
- 2:04:30Speaker 1: that we will like sometimes go to a, cabin, right
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: and their thing is they they just their kids wake
- 2:04:39Speaker 1: up before anyone else's.
- 2:04:40Speaker 2: Kids their kids wake up the whole. House they don't
- 2:04:42Speaker 2: wake up with the, kids so they don't have their
- 2:04:48Speaker 2: they don't take their. Kids, yeah it's the.
- 2:04:51Speaker 1: Equivalent it's like they know someone else is going to watch,
- 2:04:54Speaker 1: them so, like oh, COOL i get to sleep in
- 2:04:56Speaker 1: today because my kids are running around the house waking everybody.
- 2:04:59Speaker 2: Up but you're gonna watch, Him SO i get. It
- 2:05:02Speaker 2: that's a.
- 2:05:03Speaker 1: Grievance worthy people don't do it eight seven seven three
- 2:05:06Speaker 1: five three zero seven.

- 2:09:05Speaker 14: Responsible you, know these these young children are just essentially

- 2:09:14Speaker 14: alive do.
- 2:09:16Speaker 1: You, Okay so we were talking About utah football Commit
- 2:09:19Speaker 1: Diesel dart earlier on the show. Today all, right and
- 2:09:23Speaker 1: it's Like Brandon. Dart he he was a college football.
- 2:09:26Speaker 1: PLAYER i don't know what his wife was, like but,
- 2:09:29Speaker 1: like so you got a fifty percent chance if your
- 2:09:31Speaker 1: dad's a d one athlete that you're gonna be a
- 2:09:33Speaker 1: pretty good. Athlete it's still a risk to be naming
- 2:09:36Speaker 1: your Kid. Diesel, okay it just, Is, yeah it. Is
- 2:09:40Speaker 1: did you grow up with anyone that had one of
- 2:09:43Speaker 1: those very Like utah names Like Tank. Diesel we were
- 2:09:49Speaker 1: talking About Hans olsen's Kid, rock where like that one
- 2:09:54Speaker 1: was a pretty high percentage. Move BUT i know a
- 2:09:56Speaker 1: couple of Different, Diesels, Bronco mendenhall kids all have like these,
- 2:10:01Speaker 1: crazy like cool masculine, names and you're, really it's a
- 2:10:05Speaker 1: risk you're, taking all? Right they got to live up
- 2:10:08Speaker 1: to that In diesel darts, Case he's. Fine did you
- 2:10:11Speaker 1: grow up with anyone who were just, like, wow that
- 2:10:13Speaker 1: was a choice to have your kid named LIKE i don't,
- 2:10:16Speaker 1: Know Flash gordon when they were a, big, fat slow.
- 2:10:19Speaker 6: Kid, No like for, me it was the.
- 2:10:21Speaker 14: Opposite and where it's like the kids like the KIDS
- 2:10:25Speaker 14: i played basketball with In, connecticut it's Like finn And
- 2:10:30Speaker 14: chip and it's like you're you're gonna be in, finance you, Know,
- 2:10:33Speaker 14: Noah liam and such not not not future football players
- 2:10:38Speaker 14: with future probably dishonest hedge fund.
- 2:10:40Speaker 6: Managers is the. ECOSYSTEM i grew up In.
- 2:10:43Speaker 1: Waite remember the guy Like Hercules mataafa that played For.
- 2:10:50Speaker 1: Washington your name Is hercules, YOU i guess if You're polynesian,
- 2:10:55Speaker 1: again you're you're probably okay taking that. Risk but if
- 2:10:59Speaker 1: your name and your kid hercules and your kid ends
- 2:11:02Speaker 1: up being, LIKE i don't, know, small then you really
- 2:11:05Speaker 1: you've really kind of hurt them for the rest of their.
- 2:11:07Speaker 14: Life, yeah they kind of only have one, pathway and
- 2:11:10Speaker 14: if they don't end up like fulfilling that, pathway maybe
- 2:11:14Speaker 14: changing the name is the way to.
- 2:11:16Speaker 6: Go but, Yeah, diesel.
- 2:11:20Speaker 14: His first is that is that is his true first
- 2:11:22Speaker 14: full name Is, DIESEL i, believe so all. Right, yeah
- 2:11:26Speaker 14: ultimately you're slotted in you're a football player or else
- 2:11:30Speaker 14: you're probably gonna be changing your.
- 2:11:31Speaker 3: Name.
- 2:11:32Speaker 1: Yeah my wife has a cousin whose kid's name Is,
- 2:11:34Speaker 1: diesel and dad is not that.
- 2:11:37Speaker 2: Big mom is not that.
- 2:11:38Speaker 1: Big kids somehow turned out to be pretty darn. Big
- 2:11:42Speaker 1: so maybe it's manifest destiny. Thing maybe it's one of
- 2:11:45Speaker 1: those like hidden, influences and you've created that monster child
- 2:11:50Speaker 1: by naming them something that their biology then knows it
- 2:11:53Speaker 1: has to live up.
- 2:11:54Speaker 14: To or you could have been named after AN lds
- 2:11:56Speaker 14: prophet and just let your entire family. Down it's also
