5-22 H2: SGA Flop Stats, Rams Did What, Reading Your Texts & Cross Talk · The Gregg Bell Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: And oh, well, I believe it's German, but it's Haberstrow.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's give credit. What credit to todm and Haberstrow
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: of Yahoo Sports.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: So SGA has fallen twenty times on one hundred and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: eighty seven shots.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: That's at ten point seven percent.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: James Harden has fawn nineteen times with two hundred and
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: nineteen shots at eight point seven percent. Jalen Brunson fawn
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: nineteen times two hundred and forty shots, seven percent, seven
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: point nine. Donovan Mitchell twenty six fall three hundred and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: forty two shot attempts. Good lord, he's checking that thing
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and four percent rates seven point six. And then Victor
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: women Yama one hundred and sixty four shots.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Guess somebody times he's falling. Just guess forty once, zero
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: point six. I love that.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So Victor he you know, he mister slim thing. He
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: stays up right quite a bit.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe he should be the MVP. Is gildess Alexander gonna
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: win it again? He already won it? Oh, they are
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: determined for this year. Yep, where was I Connecticut? You
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: was that this week? He was handling business?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Okay, celebrating that was this week yes, okay, so this
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: past week technically, so it happened.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: I want to say Sunday, Monday, okay, so yeah, I'm okay,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: you're good. I'm glad I missed it then, but okay,
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So not as much as people think that gildas Alexander.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: And it gets a little deeper. How often does SGA
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: fall on foul shots? So this is when clearly the
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: rep see the fall foul SGA thirty seven shots fall
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: nineteen times, that's fifty one percent. James Harden has fallen
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: twelve on forty one shots, twenty nine. Victor Wibinyama twenty
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: eight shots has fallen seven times. Jalen Brunson and Domin
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Mitchell have fallen five times both, and then twenty six
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: shots for Jalen, twenty eight shots for Domin Mitchell nineteen
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and seventeen percent perspectively.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: So that's more interesting because then whenever gil just Alexander
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: even thinks he's feeling this is more than the heart
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of the matter. When he's even feeling like he might
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: get contact, he's going to the ground, and then I
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: think it's a chicken in the egg. The fowls are
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: coming after he hits the floor right.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I would argue you probably most likely, because usually when
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you see someone hit the floor, you're industy records, Oh
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: something happened.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: I gotta blow it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Whereas if you stay grounded and you're official, you've done it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: He's probably flopping.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give him credit for that, but I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: think one thing that he's also good at doing is
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: getting players defenders hands in the cookie jar per se.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: If you're reaching, he's able to abuse his arms and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: maneuver them. And when there's contact that's obvious, you can't
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: do that. That's illegal contact. So there's files and the
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: last one, how often does SGA fall on all shots?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So this is everything falling, not falling, you name it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: With two hundred and twenty four shots, SG has fallen
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: thirty nine times at seventeen point four percent. James Harden
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: has taken two hundred and sixty shots. He has fallen
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: thirty one at eleven point nine Jalen Brunton to sixty six,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: falling twenty four times. Donovan Mitchell three hundred and seventy shots.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: That boy Donovan be shooting, y'all. He's fallen thirty one
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: times at an eight point four percent, clip and then
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Victor Winbin Yama one hundred and ninety two shots and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: has fallen eight times at four point two percent. And
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this dude has gone back and watched all the tape.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So shout out to Tom. I want to say it's
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Haberstrow of Yahoo's Sport. Yah's so wait a minute.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Donovan Mitchell has shot three hundred and sixty times seven
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: and James Harden has shot two hundred and sixty times.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That's that's six hundred and fifty times for those two stars.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's through the playoffs, right, so from round
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: one up until right now where they're at the Eastern
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Conference Finals.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: They have basketballs in Cleveland for those two they're in
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the same team shooting six hundred and fifty times and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: getting they shots up. Thirty nine minutes for Donovan Mitchell
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: last night twenty six points, but they lost to the
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Knicks in Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals. Well, thanks, Chris.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: That was interesting when you.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because a lot of fans were, you know, he
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: flops every time, and some dude was like, all right,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: that's not the case. Let's just do a little digging here.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: So again, that's a lot of shot attempts to watch
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: for all these players. It's over a thousand shots that
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: he's just going through and watching the tape, and how
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: many times are you fallen on all shots versus being
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: fouled not being fouled. So yeah, seventeen point four fall
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: rate percentage for SGA, which is not what you would think.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: You would think it's somewhere.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I think you said like forty percent Greg this morning
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: when we talked off way. Yes, yeah, so yeah, quite interesting.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: They still a lot though, I mean seventeen percent is
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, look at Victor Wimenyama, He's at four percent of.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: The whole Thunder team. I saw a breakdown of women
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yama getting hooked by someone in the post for the Thunder. Yeah,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: and they called the foul and women Yama.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: But see the refs they got to I think they
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: need to train their eyes to be to realize when
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: they're being hooked. Because it's easy for us that don't
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: officiate games to watch it live and like, oh, that's
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: an offensive foul, But when you're in the moment, you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: don't even your brain doesn't even realize, oh, he's being hooked,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Like you have to go back to the replay to
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: see that if they even challenge it, and then again,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you only get one challenge, so if you get it wrong,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you're not getting another challenge for the rest of the game.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: That's the thing on these floppings and fake contacts that
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: the Thunder are doing is that if the the ponent
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: wants to get it right, he's got to use his challenge.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: The coach, the team has to use their challenge, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: they got to use it on something that should never
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: been called in the first place.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right. Who's running the Rams right now?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Because who I'm trying to destroy them?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: That would work out for the Seahawks. They just the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Rams go inviscerate themselves. The biggest threat to the Seahawks
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: getting back to the super Bowl in their own division
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the Rams. Who's in charge of them right now? Because
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it sure looks like Sean McVay did orchestrated what happened yesterday?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: What happened yesterday the Ram. I'm sure, Mike Benton, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: guys talked about this yesterday.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe we did it after we didn't, Okay, we didn't,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: But it's a perfect opportunity to.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Break a new ground and then the show fifty five
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: million dollars one year extension for Matthew Stafford, who's thirty
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: eight years old of back problems. His contract now runs
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: through twenty twenty seven with the not just this season,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: but now next. They tacked on an extra season at
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: fifty five million. Chris, you know how much they owe
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford the next two seasons? The Rams do over
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ten million dollars one oh five to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: be exactly. That's really good, by the way, one to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: oh five. They owe him one hundred five million this
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: year and next. They drafted a quarterback thirteenth overall. Done
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: this thing, you can do the magic. So who's running
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the Rams? Matthew Stafford and Sean McVay are buds. I mean,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: McVeigh got Stafford to come from the ramp from the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Detroit where he'd played his whole seat career and not
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: done anything in the postseason and comes to the Rams
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and wins the Super Bowl. So McVeigh loves him, and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Stafford loves McVay. McVeigh pulled this strain yesterday. They give
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: him fifty fifty five million dollars for his age thirty
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: nine season. But that's not the same mentality that if
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you existed in the Rams draft this spring, because they
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: drafted Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback who some people think of,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: maybe not as first round pick, maybe not as surefire
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: NFL starter. Some scouts I know think they drafted him
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: thirteenth overall. Of course, the magic of drafting a quarterback
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in the first round is that you think that guy's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: going to start immediately, and therefore you have your quarterback
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: at rookie rock bottom price. At quarterback market, it's a
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: fraction of the cost of whatever typical NFL start. I mean, hell,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: their quarterbacks aren't even middle of the road making twenty
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: five million dollars a year in this league, and you're
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: going to get a first round draft pick on a
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: slotted salary at a twentieth of that cost for a
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: season or two. If you got a quarterback starting on
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: a rookie contract, you're and he succeeds, you could go
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl. Look at the Seahawks with Russell
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Wilson in twenty thirteen to fourteen, Jalen Hurts on the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty two Eagles on a rookie con you can
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: go buy the rest of your team to fill the holes.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Because your quarterback's making pennies relative to the rest of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the quarterbacks in the league. So if you're drafting a
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: quarterback in the first round, he's playing so you can
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: build the rest of your team around him. So the
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Rams they drafted a layaway quarterback. That was less Sneed's decision.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And we went through. Remember the night of the draft
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and Sean McVay with his terse and hands of his
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: jeans as he was sitting, just the body language of
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: his eye rolls, and I mean, he was pissed. And
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: then next day he came out and apologized and said, Wow,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I was really on board, and I've talked to him
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: and it was great. And I was just trying to
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: vouch for how much I still aligned with Matthew Stafford
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: and how Stafford's on board and we're not trying to
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: run him out, and obviously they're not trying to run
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: him out if they're gonna give him a fifty five
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: million dollar extension. Now, having said all that, if Matthew
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Stafford's back backs up this season, he can't play anymore
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: than that fifty five million dollar extension won't matter in
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: a non guarantee league, and that would be the end
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: of the contract in career. But if he doesn't get hurt,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: of course the big if In the NFL, they've got
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: him on books for one hundred and five million to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: be their start in the next two seasons. That would
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: be halfway into Ty Simpson's rookie contract. So I mean,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: this is Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay behind Brett fav
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that was at the bottom the last pick of the
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: first round. This is at top thirteen pick. The Rams
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: never picked Bear, and yet they picked Bear anyway. So
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford getting a fifty five million dollar extension means
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that the Rams are playing for Ty Simpson to not
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: play at least two years, losing half of his rookie
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: contract window. I mean, it's it is just about. It
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: remains a baffling decision that makes me want to think
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: who is actually calling the shots down there. Less Snead,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: the general manager called the shot on drafting Ty Simpson,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: that's obvious, and Matthew Stafford that is Sean mcvay's guy.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: And it seems as though that is Sean McVay getting
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: his way in this extension four nine four or five
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: one and to come a dodge text on. We'll be
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: back to text at eleven thirty about this about the
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Seahawks chief rival, the Rams, about what we talked about
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the Enhanced Olympics. A couple good quote texts on that
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: incutting one from a guy in Las Vegas. Maybe laugh
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: two heights. We'll helpen up the phone lines if you
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: want to talk. Everyone says, how come KG already ever
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: puts people with fans on the air. You want to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: talk about this piggybacking with Luis Castillo as some of
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you are on the text line two O six two
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: eight six ninety five ninety five. Put a couple of
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: callers on the air two O six two eight six
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: ninety five ninety five. Anything you want to talk about,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: We'll open it up. We're trying to get the New
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: York Knicks beat writer, but he was busy today this afternoon.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: That's what we thought we were gonna do at eleven
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: o'clock today. But Chris, the the NBA plasses. You see
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: the Knicks rolling, I love it. It's it's been really
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: good seeing the Knicks do this. Because Nicks they're a
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: big market, right, They're one of those lah they're definitely
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: flagship team.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so's to see them in jail brunts and the
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: team playing well.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: It's fun.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: NBA is that's great for the league, and I think
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: they're gonna get out of the East. I believe that
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Cavs will respond to when the next two games,
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: but I think ultimately Nixon six. But so far, the
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Knicks have been playing some good basketball. Mike Brown's been
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: criticized quite a bit as the coach, and I think
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of it is deserved. But the way he
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: has his team playing right now, I mean you gotta
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: to give him credit. And Greg kind of teased about
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: it earlier. Shoot, I talked about the Knicks, and here
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they are on the Cusp two games, two wins away
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: from going to the NBA Finals to take on one
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: of those Joggarnaut teams. I'm sorry, whoever they face, the
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Knicks are probably going to lose. I don't see them
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: beating either of those teams.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So the Spur's gonna beat the Floppers.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if their time, I don't know if
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: they're ready yet. I don't know unless Victor takes the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: next step and becoming the best player on that court,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: which he definitely could it's I just don't know if
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: they're ready. I think one more year because I do
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: believe that okay SE's a little deeper. Not to mention
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: dearon Fox is out, that doesn't really help.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Who has to go off for the Spurs beside women
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Yama for them to beat the thunder vessel Castle.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Maybe one of those two guys, if one of them
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: can get hot, that could really help. But I mean
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: missing D'aron Fox, and that's tough not having your point
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: guard because now you're relying on guys that aren't point
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: guards necessarily to carry your offense.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And that's the Aaron's job.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: So that's that ankle injury must be really serious because
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: he's missed the first two games and it sounds like
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: he's not gonna plays. So that's a really unfortunate situation
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: for this team that has goals of winning a championship
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and they could fall short because they don't have their
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: point guard, which is as a.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Small thing, but it's big at the end of the day.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: When you don't have your leader at the guard position,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that changes your whole dynamic for your offense. So Mitch
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Johnson's gonna have his work cut out for him tonight
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to try to figure out how to get this offense
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: rolling without just saying, hey, Victor, do what you do.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It'd be nice for him to get touches just off
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: assist instead him trying to do everything off the dribble,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: which he can do, but you want to make it
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: easy for your big man, I would say.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Mitch Johnson from Seattle. Don't you know you knew that?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Chris right? Oh yeah, how could you not? Man? Go
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: go Irish Oday High School two thousand and two to
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: five under coach Lumpkin. You knew that?
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Yep, shout out Coach Lumpkin, Rest in peace. One of
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: the legends, one of my guys.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he's the coach of the Spurs and thirty
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: nine years old. Are you able to watch I mean
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: they've been on Prime and yeah, YouTube.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: And unfortunately caught up with everything. Oh so yeah, I
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: can watch it.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: I've watched snap Kick. Those are lives a couple of
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: those streaming services.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: So if you are let's say Eric, he's into streaming,
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: let's you know, he would probably have a channel on Kick.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: He'll probably have a channel on all of those.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I get as. I don't know if he does, but
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: tonight's NBA NBC though, right, yeah, yeah, it's now I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: got double check, sure to question it. Yeah, tonight's on NBC.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I did look that up. And so at least you
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: can watch it. Yes, it's available for you on NBC. Oh. ABC, Yes,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: so if you have channel five, you should be good.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: NBC Tonight is thunder at Spurs Game three tomorrow the
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA five o'clock our time
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: on ABC. My bad, so NBC tonight, ABC.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: It's also on Peacock for all you folks that are
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: caught up into streaming services, so you get it two ways.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Oh, so we got Peacock NBC tonight, ABC tomorrow, Peacock
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: NBC on Sunday and then Monday the Eastern Conference Finals.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: On Memorial Day is in Cleveland for Game three, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: that's on ESPN. Oh thanks, I'm looking through here. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: everything else is on regular cable and or streaming network
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: ESPN and ABC and NBC. That's it for the rest
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: of the continent. So no YouTube, Prime for service. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: don't know what else they put it on, but no,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: none of that. So we're in at least terror somewhat
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: terrestrial television for the rest of the NBA, the NHL.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I'll go to excellent right now. And really I appreciate
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: this from the five eighty five Western New York people.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I told you Ork just fantastic. Hey, Grey, active duty
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Army here, thanks for your support. Of course, active duty Army,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: appreciate you for what you do for our country, all
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: of you service members, men and women. Did you watch
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Game seven of the Sabers series. I was watching the
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: end of it in our vacation house in Connecticut. It
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: was like eleven o'clock back there that night. That's another thing, man,
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: you go back to the East coast. Christian reminded that
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: we got we're spoiled out here. Yeah, Greg's probably like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: oh it's one am. That's fun exactly. America's games ended
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: at about one am. But I did catch the overtime
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: on my phone as we were sitting there hosting a party,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: a graduation party, the Savers and the Canadians. And yes, that,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: as the five eighty five is saying on the text line,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: classic Buffalo sports and overtime, so disappointing. Yes, that was
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: a crushing loss for Western New York and the great
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: people that would have been waiting decades for the Savers
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to be relevant, and here they are, the top seed,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: one of the top seeds in the conference, a one
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: hundred plus point regular season fill in the arena of
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: the Barn down there downtown Buffalo, and they lose in
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Game seven at home to upstart Montreal team who now
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: has up won nothing in the Carolina Hurricane Series for
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference Finals. As a flip side of that,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: it's been thirty three years since a Canadian team has
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: won the Stanley Cup, and Montreal is close. I mean
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: they are three wins away from the Cup final. Edmonton's
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: failed to do it the last two years. I've mentioned
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: this a thousand times. I'll mention it again. If you
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: want to watch postseason sports at its best, watch the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Stanley Cup playoffs on Sportsnet CBC. If you're living in
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Seattle and you're paying five hundred dollars a month for
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: cable anyway, you might as well use the channel ninety
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: nine on your cable streaming from Infinity and check out
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: cbut CBC out of Vancouver and watch it there. Don't
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: watch it on ESPN, don't watch it on TNT, watch
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: it CBC. Especially when a Canadian team is involved this
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: deep in the playoffs. It is a treat. The intensity.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: They have the mics on the rink, on the benches,
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: you can hear line change calls, you can hear the
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: coaches instructions of the player, you can hear the hits
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: in the glass. The audio alone Chris is amazing on
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: CBC sports Net and the intensity in the building, it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: almost like the US channels, the US networks TNT and
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: ESPN are muting the crowd noise compared to when you
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: watch it on Sportsnet CBC. The intensity comes through your
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: television and just grabs you. It's an amazing viewing experience
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: for a sporting event. To watch the Stanley Cup playoffs
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: on CBC and Sportsnet Game two of that series in
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference and tomorrow night Montreal at Carolina Game
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: two tonight in the West is Colorado hosting Las Vegas
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and that'll be on CBC and Sportsnet as well. So
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: this is a great It is a really I know
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: you're an NBA guy, but this is a really cool
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: time of the year when these two sports converge like
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: this with conference finals going on at the same time.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: It's really cool. Absolutely, you get different perspectives.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: You get to hear the energy, as you mentioned, but
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: in the stadium and how crazy it gets. So yeah,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: it's it's a fun time. The sun's out, so it's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: tough to be indoors watching these things, but you do
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: it for a little bit because you enjoy it. So yeah,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a good opportunity. It sucks at the
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: crackingron in it, though. It'd be nice to get them back.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: So hopefully this time would be so off the hook
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: for the right like maybe next year, you know, assuming
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: this off season takes off like a rocket ship and
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: they take care of business. This audit if it works,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: oh boy, Yeah, that that that has heavy fan excited.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're auditing what they're doing.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: That that that can't be good, right, guys, Like usually
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: when an audit comes in, that's not because things are
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: going well.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Here's here's our season ticket planning for the off too,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the first we're gonna audit everything we do. Right, Alarm,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: red alarm. But they did keep Lane Lambert as coach. Yes,
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: sounds like everything else is changing, including the new general
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: manager coming in. But yeah, I mean the new general
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: manage in the sense that he's got all the authority
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: now that Ron Francis is gone, I get it. But yeah,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: to Chris's point, this town would be off the hook
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: if we had May hockey going on in Memorial Day
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: weekend conference finals. I mean, that's we've seen when the
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: Sonics did that, and what this city is like, it's
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: it's just incredible and as Chris said, hopefully soon for
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the first five years of cracking not making the playoffs,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: and that's why they're doing what they're doing this offseason.
• 19:29

• 19:57
  Speaker 2: The Great Belt Show with Christopher Kidd on a Friday
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Memorial weekend. We've covered a lot of ground today, from
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the Coast Guard Academy to the Mariners and piggybacking starters
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and JP Crawford selflessness with a purpose moving to third base,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: and what the hell of the Rams doing drafting a
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: quarterback at thirteenth oir' wrong? Then giving a thirty eight
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: year old a back issue with fifty five million dollars
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: extension through twenty to twenty seven the enhanced games. We
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: were all over the place today in the NBA playoffs.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Chris talk about that last segment at length fourtnit four
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: to five one's coming out to text sign. You know
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: what time it is. The music is boogie Nights on
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: the radio or our text line, and so far we
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: have not found out how to put boogie Knights on
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the radio. So we're back to the text line.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Where to start here? We go.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: From the four two five calls on Friday, I bet
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: over under for drunk callers is sixty six percent. Good
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: luck you brave souls. Shout out to Keith. There they were,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: so they didn't call We never did? That is true? Hey, Greg?
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: From the five eight to five that you read this one, yeah,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: okay with the from Keith again, when the Seahawks start
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: kicking first round picks is when they started, Oh.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I just lost it. Shout out to me doing the
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: old Greg Bill fashion. Way. Here it is.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: They started the descent to mediocrity. Mediocrity, excuse me. Let's
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: hope the rams are following that pattern.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Fortune five says, kid, get there early tomorrow. Poo poo point.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: You picked likely the most busy day to hike that trail.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: It's going to be tough parking. Just saying it's one
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: of the best hikes in the area. Though I'm in
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Atlanta now, so miss that spot. Great spot for picks
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: when you get up there. By the way, there was
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: a northwest side. In the southeast side a little bit longer,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: fifteen minutes longer. Try to do both. I've done both.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: The southeast side is a better view. I think I
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: can't remember which is the longer side, but yeah, I
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: don't either.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I went up there once with a wife, but sounds
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: like we might be screwed. My friend decided to make
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: plans after I had what so scout off, I'm not
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna have to life up there. Well, she's working,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: but the so I want I personally was gonna do
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: flag football at eight am and then go on a hike.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna have your achilles is better. Oh, I
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: haven't had that in a while. It's been great, it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: been been fine.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: So I told him.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I was like, hey, the best case scenario, we go
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: at eight am, worst case one pm.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Everybody was okay with that.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: So Greg, when you hear that, would you think if
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: they have football, Okay, I'm gonna make plans for my
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: eight am morning or would you just leave it open
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: just in case Chris has football. You can do it
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: at one No football, you can still do it at
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: eight am. Who would you do beat?
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: So my friend decides to make plans. So I text
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: today like, hey, everybody, are we all good for eight
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: am tomorrow? Or already made plans? And in my head,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I told you.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: That's a busy homie that's got plans at eight am
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: on a holiday weekend.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: But I already told him what my plan was to do.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Because I'm being selfish. I told him I want to
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: do this, but if we can't, here's what we'll do.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And everybody was okay with it. And now he made
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: plans and eight AM's open. So I think I'm about
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: to be like, well, I guess you're not coming because
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: I don't know why you make plans.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: But anyway, let's get back to the text. Uh here
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: we go.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Go to YouTube and look up the old SNL skip
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: of the Steroid Olympics.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: I did that. It's nineteen eighty eight, Kevin Neeland. It
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: was in Bogata, Columbia. They said that steroids in every
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: steroids kwailud just gokay, everything you could possibly want to
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: take during a sporting competition was legal. And the last
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: studio audience in New York was laughing like, this is ridiculous,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: and now it's now it's true. Now you could do it.
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: No steroid testing. Actually steroid use under the doctor's supervision
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: permitted in the Enhanced Games that starts Sunday in Las Vegas.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: And it was nineteen eighty eight Saturday Night Live Skit
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: was thinking, O, this is preposterous, and now it's true
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: they're doing it, So thank you for the tip. I
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: went ahead and looked at.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: From the two O six Amen Chris Amen on little
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: steroid Olympic facts. Congratulations, my buck guy brother and proud
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: pop Ya my buddy.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Hawaii Vacations in the future is living the dream. Go
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: cost Guard go Sihawks. Please pray for my Cleveland Browns.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I appreciate my buck that man, that's good. Uh
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: you got one fourth Greg Yeah. This I don't know
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: because I wasn't listening, But the two five three said
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: the Mariners went so far as to even announcing Castillo
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: as in the starting lineup on the radio for that
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: piggyback game when he relieved Bryce Miller. It's about ninety
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: eight percent ego feelings related. That's interesting and and and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: to the point, there's another text on here about Oh
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: it's actually I'll read it to three six three six.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Excuse me. So why are you against the way they
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: piggyback the starters. Do you think the manager did this
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: by something. No, we never said that it's just Dan
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Wilson's idea. No, we never said that. That's not it's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Jerry de Poto and Justin Hollander and Jerry Depoto more
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: than Hollander. Yes, Jerry has approved this idea beforehand. I
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: think it's a great idea.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: This is from the four two five. You are crazy
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: if you think seventeen percent is not a lot in
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: regards to SGA flopping, Well, I mean that's around the League. Yeah,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: that could be a lot, but it also means on
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: eighty two percent of his other shots he's not falling.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: That's that's pretty impressive. Seventeen is a big number, sure,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: but there's two sides of it. I think so five
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: five of every six shots he doesn't fall, that's I
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: don't think that's crazy.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I think that's you know, good for him. Back to
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: my day, how many times did Michael Jordan flop his
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: entire career?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he flopped. No, that's not no,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: that wasn't flopping back in the day didn't exist.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I don't think exactly. I think, Hey, the Pistons Bull series,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the Knicks Bull series.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah you got we got regular fund from Yeah, exactly,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: just two shots Charles Oakley.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: Those Nicks, the New York College Days Nicks. Yeah. It
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: was warfare. Yeah, and I use that term not very
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: we understand, Greg. I'm just saying it. In basketball a ways,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: it was like gorilla O. Hey, you could just say
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: they were wrestling on the court. They were. They were.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: It was crazy what they used to get away with.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And no one was flopping. They were. If they hit
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: the ground, it was because somebody just gave them a
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: WW but real w wrestling move, Yeah, it was. It
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: was compared to that. I guess you can't even compare
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: them both. Two o six congratulations Dad, thanks for sharing that,

• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Memorial Day weekend, the veteran.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Didn't want to be I'm here. I'm only here for
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: two hours a day though. Oh we have a gong
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: show coming up in a second, so at two o'clock. Yeah,
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: I'll explain out in the second. But I guys say,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I was listening and driving in. Congrats, thank you, congratulations,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: thank you. It was great, Thank you. This sounds awesome.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: You know what resonated with me, And I think for
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: a lot of people who are parents out there, a
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: lot of people can relate to something. And also a
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: lot of people this is probably a heads up and
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: something you can that you want to be aware of.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Because you talked about her wanting to drop out. Yeah, okay,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: And and I thought back to my own experiences with that.
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: You know, as all these kids around our area graduating
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: over the next few weeks from high school and a
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: lot of them are going to go on to post
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: secondary educations and whatever it might be.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: And I thought about it.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, if you're an athlete, you're always
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: used to being the best. Like both your son and
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: daughter were really good soccer players, and all of a
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: sudden you get cut from a team, you know, or
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: it's not what you expected to be in your son's case,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: right at the next level, because you're used to being
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: the star, not a star, but just elite player. Right,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: you're one of the dudes, and that's that's always a hit.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: Or you just go your son or daughter is just
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: going to go to college and then for the first
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: time they're not doing something extracurricular, they're just going to school.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: That's a weird transition. But when you said she thought
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: about dropping out a couple of times, I would caution
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: parents or just my experience, and you know, I know.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: We're a sports show, but what the hell that happens.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: That's normal, Like both my kids went through stuff. You
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: helped my son get through stuff because he had two
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: things going athletically. Thought he should be somewhere else. Maybe
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: would have been, but he was a year and a
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: half from being diagnosed after being diagnosed with type one diabetes,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: and he also didn't have a senior year because of COVID.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: You you ended up where you needed to be and
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: where you should be. But when you're not starting in
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: a star right away, do I need to do this?
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Just be do I just want to be a student,
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: And then the student part of it, there's a transition like, oh, whoa,
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: this is different, like especially if you're going to a
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: good school, which honestly, I don't really think there's too
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: many bad colleges out there, universities I could be wrong.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Is going to correct me? And I don't give a ratch.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: You know what about US News and World Reports rankings,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: there's professors, you've worked in the schools, you know, if
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: you're in a post secondary educate, you know, a four
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: year school, it's there's there's some pretty redeeming quality. It's
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: about said place. But it's hard, you know. And I
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: know my own son he twice after football games. I
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: don't know if I need to do this. I should
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: be playing blah blah blah blah blah. And like, dude,
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: you can quit. Is that what you are?
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: Like? Seriously, you can. You do what you want to do.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: And well, by the way, you'll get a job because
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: you're not You're not just going to go to college
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: and party. You're going to get a job as well
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: and then you know, but you stick it out. Just
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: like your daughter, she found something else. Took my kid
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: two years, ended up having memories for a lifetime. And
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: and I would end school academically. You know, I've talked
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: about this before. Greg my son ended graduate with pretty
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: high honors from a really good school. English was not
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: his forte at least he didn't think it was. He's
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: actually a good writer, but he didn't like it. And
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: one of his first classes, he's just like called me
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: one day and he's just like, oh blah blah.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Blah all this.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: And I put him in touch with you. You walked
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: him through some stuff, helped him to this day. He's thankful.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: And I would just say for all the parents out there,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: like as your kids get ready to go to college,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: understand freshman year it's not fun. Like there's a lot
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: of stuff going on. Another thing, and if it is
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: really too much fun, then I'd be like saying, what's wow.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, here's another thing we notice as parents now
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: today in this particular world. The Instagram that snapchat, yeah tactic,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: snap Graham every kid. So they're high school kids, they're
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: the best friends, and then they split off and go
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: to UCLA or Loyola or Washington State or U dub
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: or Western or whatever. Right, so they're separated for the
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: first time, but they stay in touch through social media. Yeah, well,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: every one of the high school classmate best friend peoples
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: are posting their greatest moments of each of their weeks
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: at those schools. Yeah, they're not posting being at the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: library at twelve thirty in the morning, No, or doing
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the laundry at five am.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: Or they are posting the first time in their life
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: doing laundry, posting the highlights.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: So all of the kids seeing those things, Wow, Janie
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Ah is having a blast. Why am I struggling? Why
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: am I hating college when Janie's just love it? Well,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: they don't see the Janey's in the library to keep
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: her grades up to she can stay there, and that
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: she's studying and cramming for four Nobody posts instagrams of that. No, no,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: So all these kids have this inflated senses of each
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: other having a great time. Only yeah, at colleges, when
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: they're grinding like everybody.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: Else, it's and the challenges are real. It doesn't matter
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: if it's athletically, academically, socially, especially socially all those things.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I just yeah, I you know, listen, neither one of
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: us have PhDs, but we've all we've both been through
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: it with you know, a total four kids that in
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: the last three or four, you know, have all graduated
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: and successfully. But it's it resonated with me to driving
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: in when I heard about Sarah struggles and I knew Eric,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: you know, he made a change of schools and ended
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: up in God's Country where he should have been from
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: the first, from the start, but in Pullman. But that's
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: just the way it is. And it's yeah, I always
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: thought got high school's a struggle. No, then college is struggle.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Then you know what real life to struggle afterwards, Well.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Now you're entering a different realm of parenting.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's it's just so different. But then
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: you get to see your kids as young adults and
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: it's the greatest it's the greatest thing ever because the
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: older they get, the closer. Sometimes you get in a
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: different level of a relationship. But I'm so happy for
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: you and your family and h and I always say, like,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: you know, what you did for Keith is is something
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: we're always gonna be grateful for. It you know, he
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: was writing something the other day for a job interview
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: and he's just like, I don't write. I go, Do
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: you want me to have to call Greg again? No,
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: he's like, I just can't write.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: Ago. That's not what I hear, dude. I think you're
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: a decent writer. But when I handed my daughter the
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: commissioning certificate next to the Admiral of the Coast Guard
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday afternoon in New London, Connecticut, and when she
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: hugged me on the stage and she said thanks, Dad said,
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: thanks for not letting me quit. Yeah, that's it. That's
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: why your parent, that's why. Yes, that's why you have kids.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: That's what.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: It's a sense of accomplishment, not just for them, but
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: for you as well as a parent. And you know,
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: like I said, it doesn't matter what school you go to.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: You know, whether it's a military academy, which is a
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: different level of stress and things, whether it's just just
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: four your college wherever, you know, for your college A
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: or Big four your college B.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: There are struggles, of course. And I always tell my
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: kids new and when you feel uncomfortable, that's when you grow. Yeah,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: if you feel comfortable, you're not growing.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, and I think, you know, like my thing
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: always was like finished the first year, right, because I
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: see too. I saw too many kids, especially when daughters
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: in the situation wise, it was you know, there's the
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: pressure there. And I bet you dub has the same thing.
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: I'm guessing they do, you know, especially for girls you
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: get there, Oh god, I gotta go through rush. Gotta
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: be in a sorority. Am I in the right sorority?
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Is it going to work? All the stress? And so
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: we went through all that stuff, and I'm sure a
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: lot of parents are gonna do the same thing. So
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: just hanging their parents hanging there. It's it's never easy.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: It's never easy. You got eighteen years, but you're okay,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: you're eighteen years away. You're eighteen years a set of
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: worries right now. But yeah, yeah, you do, Yeah you do.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: You got to listen, trust me. There's all there's always worries.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: They're just different. Sometimes they're in diapers and sometimes they're not.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: It's just it's it's that's always so yeah, yeah, yeah, gong.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: Show at two o'clock. So I lost.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: Not only I lose, I finished dead last in my
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: longtime fantasy football league with a bunch of really close friends,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: my neighbors, the Rock Creek Homies League, so we we've
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: I've I've had great success over the years, finishing the
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: money most of the time won it, even the one
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: year I didn't. I think there's only one year in
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: the last ten I haven't made the playoffs. And I
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: finished number one of the Consolation Bowl on the Dookie
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Bowl trophy, which is a toilet kept that in our
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: house for a year, a little toilet trophy.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: My wife wife appreciate that, not at all.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: But this year I somehow fits dead last, and there's
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: various punishments. These guys are going to come in and
• 38:05

  Speaker 2: Andrews out to be something to orchestrate. Thankfully, Jess is

• 38:27
  Speaker 3: heavy size, really really yes, Rich really, He's like, long pause,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: all right, just tell Jess she's in charge. And I said, perfect, thanks,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: walked out Jess, And what what am I in charge of?
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: She's had more phone calls and meetings with them than
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: she does with me in a month, which probably says
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: something about my extensive preparation for each individual show.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Let's start. Shut up, I see you laughing in there.
• 38:58
