  Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Radio not YouTube five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: Was that your message then when you took that found Hey,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: let's let's go. Let's get physical here.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: No, no, I tried to stop the break and I
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: did it, but not by regulations.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: It's joker post game.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: I do want to get back to that in a second,
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: but can I can I bring this up? It is
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: as tried and true as kind of anything with the
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: apps over the last few years.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Why do you guys find that bite so funny? I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: don't know, It's just the way that he said it.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Were you trying to do this thing?
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: Now?
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: Now?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I think he was trying to admit it was a
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: bad foul? Well yeah, yeah, of course.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: But this is as true as anything's ever going to
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: be with the Avalanche, at least this iteration of the team.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: If you come in here from another team, your numbers
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: are going to take a massive jump. And I have
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: two examples on to bring to you real quick. First
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: of all, Marty Nacho says eighty six points on the
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: season in sixty six games, it's.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Already a career high for him.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: He very easily moged in the next where they have
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: left thirteen games, is that it could be a one
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: hundred point player yep, for the first time in his career. Also,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: your acquisition at the deadline of Nick Waugh, who has
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: three goals in nine games, had five in his previous
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: fifty nine with the least.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you joined the Avs and he.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Was playing well, he was playing. I just think you're
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: elevating period. He was playing on the fourth line yesterday,
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: which is probably where he's going to be when the
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: postseason rolls around if you get everything lined up the way.
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: But you got to consider that fourth line is still
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: going to get plenty of minutes. I mean, you're going
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: to have a deep hockey club that you can throw
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: guys out there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: Now, your big guns are going to get the.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Majority, obviously, but to have a guy like that come
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: in and be able to dig that puck out of
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: his feet and then pop it short side off the
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: post is pretty damn cool. And you know, look, brock Nelson,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: he's playing great. You know, all these dudes right now
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: are feeling it. Boys, they're all feeling like I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: they're all feeling like they should feel, you know what
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, They're all feeling you know, good about their
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: game and about where they are as a team, and
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: and all that stuff matters. I mean, it really does.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I thought early in the game they looked a little
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: bit sleepy given the early start, not enough shots on
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: goal being generated, right, And then they picked it up. Yeah,
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: then they okay, let's go, let's go, especially in the
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: in that overtime period. My guy, so the way that just,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: how are we gonna pronounce his name now? The way
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: he was skating around there, he looked like he was
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: doing his own little freestyle routine in the middle of
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: a hockey game, like everybody else was just playing hockey.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: He's like, watch this.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I just you know, I went to this park over
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: the weekend because I have small children and that's what
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: you do now for fun when it's nice outside.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: Uh, it was this park that's over.
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: Man, it was that was Was that my choice or
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: was that mandated?
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Mandated? Yeah, say it, you can say, okay, no, it
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: was mandated. But it was that park that's over by
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the old airport.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: Really nice.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: No, No, it's just like a neighborhood park Stapleton Park. Yes,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: and it's funny because there was somebody there that was
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: a seven year old birthday party and they had a pinata.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: That's not even your hood. No, it's not. Once you
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: stay in your hood. We wanted to try new park,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: so we had to drive thirty minutes to go to one.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: So anyway, dude, that's really weird. That's a weird thing.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: In defense, the guy who owns that flight cot tower
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: that was the old airport that's now a bar, they
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: served lunch. We went and saw him and got lunch afterwards.
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: So that was part of of course. Okay, I knew
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: there was a period.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I had to have a band, and it's like if
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: we're gonna do this and I'm gonna do that, that.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Sort of thing. Yeah, let's let's drive to Durango. There's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: a park for the kids there.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: So there was a seven year old's birthday party and
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: they were doing a pinata and this dad was really
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: mean about the pinata. You would have the kids take
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: a hack and he'd do the whoop.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Oh you gotta be queer, earn it. That was Marty
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: nachos and overtime, it was just like gotta be queer
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: than that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: He was just toying with them the entire time. It's like,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: I know you're tired, and I'm gonna do this for
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: fun to you. I'm just gonna cycle around, make you change,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: have your quads burning for about thirty seconds before I
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: find Brock for the game winners?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Where is your level of anxiety from the Dallas game
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to now?
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Like?
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: How do you how do you feel? How much better
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: do you feel about the Avs and their number one
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: seed opportunities here?
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Well, you know it's funny because I after the Dallas game,
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: I came in that next morning, Brett, what did I say?
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: I know you felt what I said.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, you gave a good look, you give you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: the impression every But I'm talking about just on how
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: close the standings were then versus now.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: Well I felt a little uncomfy, Yeah, because I mean,
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: I think you want to maintain you want to maintain
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: that lead, You want the number one and you want
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: them to have to come to your building. I think
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: that you know, everybody recognizes that. But with the way
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: they played against Dallas, the way they were able to
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: elevate their game and the compete, the compete level, the
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: year focus they had. Even though they didn't win, they
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: lost a new shootout, But what they showed me was like, okay,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: they they want to get it, you know it, like
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: that Naughty two's coming back, Like he'll be back loc hopefully,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: you know, Ross coll these guys will all start to
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: filter back into the lineup at some point. And now
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: you're gonna have a little runway too, Vic, in order
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: to kind of get more chemistry going before the start
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: of the postseason. So I felt pretty damn good about it.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: But at the same time, I also said, you better
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: go on the road, you better win, you know. They
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: they took a part Chicago, it could have been ten
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: to one. And then yesterday the Caps, oh god, they
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: played that style Vic, that I mean, they just grind
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: you to scroned and they stack up in the neutral
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: zone and they lock it and it's just it's such ugly,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: awful hockey.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: I hate it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I thought Blackwold look pretty good. I mean there's been
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a lot, you know, talked about who the number one
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: goalie is, this and that, but I thought Blackwood performed
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: admirably in that game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: I do too.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, we're going to talk to him probably tomorrow.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Today's a day off, so everybody's just kind of scattering
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: into the wind. But we're gonna talk to to Mackenzie
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: Blackwood tomorrow. I don't know what you do if you're
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: trying to stop the one timer from Ovechkin, I don't
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: know what. I don't know how you do it, because
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: he gets it the right above that dot boys, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: that shot was what ninety five miles per hour something
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: like that. Blackwood, Yeah, Blackwood made the push, but he's
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: burned on that particular shot. I mean, he's the greatest
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: goal scorer of all time in the league's history. He's
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: burned so many Hall of Fame goalies.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: With that shot.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: You know, I don't know what you can or cannot see,
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: because I'm thinking that the puck explodes at you. You
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: can't see it. It has to explode at your face.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: And again, he can go across the body and go
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: top shelf, he can go short side, and he just
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: can still fire that that puck. Man, It's a it's
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: amazing that was thought. He looked completely in control.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: That was his thousand a thousandth of his career right
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: including post.
• 7:55
  Speaker 5: That's that's playoffs yeah, postseason. It's interesting. He's obviously got
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: more regular season the Gretzky. Gritzky has more playoff goals.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: He's at oney sixteen. Ovi's at one thousand.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Now he could do that. Just sit there and hit
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: that one time, or until he's fifty five years old.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Couldn't I just roll him out there?
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Just it's power play. Go sit on that dot and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: wait for Just stay right there. You don't have to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: skate to the other side. Just sit right here. We'll
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: get you the point.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: That's essentially what he does now. Don't don't get me wrong.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: I mean he's he's he's still over the ice five
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: on five. But he's not the Ovi of old, that's
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: for sure. But essentially he hangs out at that circle
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: and he's like he's like a you know, an elephant
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: at the zoo when you have a peanut, right, feed me,
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: feed me, and then bam. I mean he unloads, dude,
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: and it's a heavy shot. I don't know how to
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: describe it, but the puck comes out, explodes that you faster,
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: it's a heavier shot.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: It's just it's everything. So everything, So.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: What are you doing today, mosh, What's what's on the agenda.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: You're in Pittsburgh.
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Just uh yeah, I just got a text from Reiker.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: They're desperate on their little podcast. I don't think they
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: could find a good guest. No, they want me to.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: They want me to jump on them.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Did you hear the last podcast they did with Kadri
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: talking about his thumb when his thumb was completely shattered
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: during that Cup run and he could barely he couldn't
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: even dress himself, and somehow he come comes back and plays,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: So it was unreal.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Cantry has basically a thumb that is made of sawdust,
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: and he played well.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Valve's playing on.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Val has half a foot that he can't move. He
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: has to be carted around after they win the car.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: You know, we know Gabe's playing on one leg during
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that Cup run, right, everybody, But when when Condrey was
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: talking about his thumb and his ability to still handle
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the puck, I mean remember that goal he scored in Tampa. Yeah,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: but that's unreal to me if your thumb doesn't operate anyway.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: The reason I bring up pits Mosure because you're gonna
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: be in Pittsburgh today, Bro, did you guys hear? And
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: I want this is a sports station.
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: Bro.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: We talk sports. We are serious sports officionados. This is
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: what we do. We make our living in sports. I
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: love sports. It's who I am, It's what I am.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: But when does sports take it too far? Let me
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: present to you this. The NFL Draft is in Pittsburgh
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: here in a few weeks. Yeah, did you hear what
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Pittsburgh is doing the city of Pittsburgh because of the
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: heavy traffic, because of the logistical nightmare that Pittsburgh is.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: You know, mos you're there. There's only so many tunnels
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: into that town, right.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I really like I gotta be honest with you, Vick,
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: You're right about that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I really like this city. Okay, so I really like Pittsburgh.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: I'll get your thoughts on Pittsburgh the city maybe on
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: another day. But let me finish my thought. So, what
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: they're doing during the NFL Draft three days during the draft,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: before and during the draft, those three days remote learning
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: for all their schools. Kids are not going to school.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: They're going to do it remotely because of all the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: traffic on the streets. And when I read that, when
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I read that, I said to myself, part of me said, oh,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you know, they're smart. You know it's the draft. The
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: other part of me said, if I'm a parent of
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a kid, if like my kid is not going to
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: school that day because of the draft, me, personally, i'd
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: be livid. I would be livid. That's me. I don't
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: know how you would be. Let's say you got your
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: little ones. Yeah, you used to take them to the school,
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: you go to work. Well now you can't. Now you
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: got to redo your whole day because your kids are
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: at home. They're not they're doing remote learning. What do
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: the parents do and what I can't? I got to
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: take care of my kid because they can't go to
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: school because of the NFL Draft for three days.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: So I hate to go back to this again, but
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: there's always a sunny clip that resembles this stuff.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: They were worried that there.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Was too many psychos on the streets, and they took
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: away Philadelphia's money for mental institutions to put in a
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: practice field for the Eagles.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: They said, well, go birds. I mean, that's kind of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: what Pittsburgh's doing. It's like, honey, I know you need
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: to go to school to learn, but who's gonna play quarterback?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: After Aaron Rodgers retired again? I know what the retort's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: going to be. The retort's going to be a chill out, Grandpa.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: It's just a couple of days of remote learning. It's
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: not that big a deal. I don't dispute that we've
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: gone through it already. COVID already showed us what that's
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: all about. I get it, I get it. I'm just saying,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: if you're a parent, think about this. You have two kids,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: you have your day scheduled, you go to work, you
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: drop your kids off at school, and for those three days,
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: those kids aren't going to school. They're gonna do remote
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: learning from home, which means you have to stay home
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: because of the NFL draft? Are you kidding me? You're
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: kidding me, right, Go Broncos. And I get I guess
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: I'm the only one who feels no. I mean, I
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: guess it's but it's absurd. Here's the thing, it's absurd.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know what we're doing. How about this. It's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a huge influx of cash. I get it. I just
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: but shut the schools down. No, I know, I don't
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: know what what you would cut. You know, I don't
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: know what you do because you're not impacting just the kids.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: You're impacting the kids parents, You're impacting what they do.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I would hate it, Yeah, I would hate it for sure.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Your kid's daycare Listen, Pittsburgh, ass, So what does that
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: do for you?
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: You've never handled anything like this, They've never had this before,
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: so it's gonna be I'm sure the whole city's gonna shut.
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, the whole city's gonna go insane. So half
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: those kids parents will probably be drinking beer at nine
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: am down on the plaza.
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: Anyway.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: I guess you guys aren't hearing me. I I'm not
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: appealing to the schools and that. I'm appealing to the
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: whole concepts of everyone's lives changing. You have to you
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: basically don't get to go to work because if the
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: NFL draft. I totally agree with you. I don't know
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: what you want me to say, though, Like I agree.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? You're kidding me?
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: You know what?
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: How about this?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: How about the NFL sets up a daycare center right
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: outside the draft and then you can go do that.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: That's where you're drift. I'll make it very easy. If
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the NFL wants to shut down the roads because there's
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: gonna be too much traffic, maybe it's incumbent on the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: NFL to make sure that these kids have a proper
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: place to go to do the remote learning if you're
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: going to hold a draft or I'll tell you what,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: invite all the kids to the draft. What I'm saying there,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: They need to have some satellite campus where they all
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: get to learn from Miles Garrett about two plus two
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: equals chair or whatever he wants to teach them, because it's.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Just like do push ups, Uncle Rogers School.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Of Knowledge you got you know, you guys joke and
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: we're all joking around Youah, Our educational city systems jacked
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: up in a lot of different ways. Here's another another
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: reason you think they're pulling this stuff in China. You
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: think those kids are missing school because of the Chinese draft.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Chinese has no Super Bowls, so they have no idea
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: what that's like.
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: No draft. Yeah, they have no idea.
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Three oh three, five, four nine two five back after this. Hey,
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: before we get back to the Nuggets, can I just
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: mention something real quick? Opening Day for the Rockies is
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: on Friday. They have their starting lineup pretty much set here,
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: along with their rotations and everything else. There's one guy
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: that had kept an eye on during the spring training period.
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: Actually a couple, but some new names to this lineup.
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: At third base, your starter's gonna be Kyle Carrols, who
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: had an amazing spring training, very young guy, promising.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Power, all that stuff. Eric who was also a great
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: player in his own right.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: But at first base, the guy that Moser rolled his
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: eyes at me for your starter's gonna be TJ Rumfield.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Of.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Dave, I have no idea, Donald, Do you know what's
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: interesting about it? That's good?
• 16:10
  Speaker 6: Actually all right? Uh.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: The interesting thing about TJ Runfield his strikeout rate with
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: about a week left in the spring training.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it afterwards.
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: No, it was.
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: Give me another first basement in the league. By the way,
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: the league low last year and strikeout rate was Luis Arias,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: who had a three point one strikeout rate. This guy's
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: like Tony Gwynn, putting the bat on the ball, not
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: striking out, put the ball in play. Just rare for
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: a first baseman. But this is not going to be
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: a year. I'm like, I think they're better than you
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: guys think they're going to be. I'm not doing that
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: this year. I've been I was burned too bad last year?
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: Are you sure?
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Pat? But you'd be so sure? Patrick Saunders in the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: post laid out the entire roster, went through the infield,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: the hitching rotation in the outfield. And I am reading
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: this last night, and I'm trying to trying to memorize it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: I said, listen, I'm a professional sportsman. I have to
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: know the roster for the professional sports team here in town.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I don't have the roster in front of me. I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: don't have it, but I'm going to try, just from
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: what I read last night, to give you the Rockies outfield.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Mickey Moniac. The outfield should be one of the easier ones. Okay,
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: I know, but I forget names. Mickey Mickey Moniac. Jordan
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Beck is in that outfield. Who's that good defensive outfielder
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: that I know? I know his name? Just escaping me right?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Help me out, Moser, don't look, don't look, don't read.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not looking.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Brent Brenton, Brenton Doyle, Brenton Doyle. All right, so that's three.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: There's one more. There's one more outfielder. There's kind of
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: a copyhause.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: One more.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: Who's the other one McCarthy, I made the team. Now
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: the other guys, the question is going to be like,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: is Tyler Freeman healthier? Not because Freeman is in the mix.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Like that, Instead of a few different things, Let's go
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: to the rotation. How Freeland is your opening day starter again?
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: My boy, Lorenzen, the pride of Italy, he's probably your
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: number in the rotation. That guy from Japan, Chugano Quintana,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: he's in the rotation. It's so funny.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Japan.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm I'm paying I get credit for this. Japan
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Helma Yuki Shugano, the last member of the rotation. It's
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: on this squad last year, Feltner. Yes, and then correct,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: So does that mean that Donander is so what happens
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: to him? Here's what's interesting.
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Donander is on the big league club, they think from
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: what Schaeffer said heading into the season, Warren Schaeffer, he
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: said that Feldner is more consistent. Right now, we're gonna
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: make Donander the long reliever to make sure he sees
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: MLB at bats, that he still is in the mix,
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: but he's not going to start as a starter in
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: the rotation.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: But all that's gonna take is one guy to go
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: on the I l for yeah, all right, the infield,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: we know the catcher. Who's the backup catcher? I don't know,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: so they moved. It's not Goodman's your catcher.
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: He was an All star left of course, yes, so
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: they they do not. I think it's Fulford was his
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: name last year. They sent him down to Albuquerque. They
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: have a guy named Brett Sullivan. Who's the backup becher.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Now, Tovar's your shortstop. Brumpfeld your first basement yep, who's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: your second baseman?
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: New guy?
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: Again, this is dependent on Tyler Freeman's health. But it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: either Freeman or Will Castro.
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: Because Freeman could bounce around all over the place.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's kind of a duel. Got it, Kyle Carross,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I got the roster. I feel so much better about myself.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I just went what I was last year. That is true?
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, so, oh, that is you're sort of update here
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: with the Rocks and what they're gonna bring to the
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: table on Friday when they.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: If you're if you're if you're ready, if you're ready
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: to enjoy baseball. By the way, I sent you guys
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: a photo about an hour ago. Nobody responded, that's fine.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Doesn't matter.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: I see somebody asked somebody asked about Zach Vin and
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Zachvine was sent down. They want him to get at
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: bats and they don't think he's an everyday guy yet.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: So you sent me a photo of a stadium in Pittsburgh.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: That's the baseball stadium, that's where the Pirates play, PNC Park.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: How did you want me to respond to this photo?
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: Oh?
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: Cool, baseball is almost tire. That place is going to
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: be full, at least for opening Day. Then it's gonna
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: be an absolute morgue. If you're enjoying baseball and you're
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: ready to enjoy some baseball, and I know our team.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: That's snow by the way, that's snow in Pittsburgh.
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: Uh No, that's just the I have to take up. No,
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: it's not snow.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: That looks like snow everywhere. Yeah, it looks like a
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: snowy Pittsburgh to me based on your photo.
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: No, that's just that's just white room and stuff inside
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: the stadium. But the deal is that you better enjoy
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: this season because you're not going to have one next year.
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: That's my us. You are not going to have a season,
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: So get it while you can.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: Whether it's a one hundred and nineteen losses again, or
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: maybe it's one hundred losses or whatever, whatever, it's going
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: to be. Enjoy your baseball because I'm guessing that the
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: lockout is going to be significant and you're going to
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: lose an entire year. You know, I was talking to
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Riker about this about you remember when the NHL lost
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: its season, Vic Brett, Oh, and the players were never, ever,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: ever going to accept the salary cap just ain't gonna happen,
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: ain't gonna debt. But when you miss a whole year
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: of paychecks, and then not only did did they come
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: in with a salary cap that was really low because
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: they lost so much revenue, they rolled it back twenty percent.
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: It was a nightmare for the players. Ryker goes, you
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: know what they should do.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: They should get a deal done right now with the
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: salary cap and get all they can right this second.
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, because they're going to lose was an entire year they.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Are now to yesterday afternoon, hold on, I got to
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: read these texts. My rant about three days of remote
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: learning for kids in Pittsburgh, Texter four nine four seven
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: vic upset over kids having to remote learn, but taps
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: into his radio gig remotely. I have a couple of
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: people saying that what's the difference there? You aren't learning,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I don't. You don't need a teacher. I don't do.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: It doesn't impact my life, my kid's life, my family's life.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: I do the job either way. It perfects my life.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: When you actually infiltrate this exactly you. But when you
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: have your kids remote learn and let's say they have
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: to be home, whose lives does that affect? Most? Whose parents?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: How do you go to work? How do you go
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: to work? You had to go to the auto body shop?
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: How do you go to your kids are at home?
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: What do you do with your third grader?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Are you telling me that you have to do the
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: show from home a lot because Terry has to stay
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: home with you when you're.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: Exactly The point is, don't don't don't stay don't come
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: up with stupid stuff like that. You know what it does?
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: It changes lives everyone.
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: That's what walks are for, though, what's that? That's what
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: basements and locked doors are for for just such an emergency?
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: What what draft comes?
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: So?
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: What age to leave the kids at home alone?
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Like?
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: What Stuard?
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Does that stop?
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Can they can they walk. I don't know, you don't
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: they can walk.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I guess there's a stupid movie I watched years ago
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: where he said, you got a babysitter. No, you got
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: a TV, don't you? Well, there you go.
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: Good.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Seriously, what what age? If you got an eighth grader? Okay,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: you got a high school?
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: Okay, that's one thing. Yeah, yeah, that's one thing. But
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: if you have if you have a if you have
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: an elementary school or not a chance? No way, No, I.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Left your baby, Jamal Kale by yourself over the Weekendsryes.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Fine, Yeah she was great.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: She got into the knives, but you know, was careful
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: about when she got into the whisky.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: Candy.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Hey Vic.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: So the Nuggets win both games over the weekend. They
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: got fully healthy again ish because Peyton Watson's still on
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: a minute's restriction. This was Adaman on pea watch return.
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: Tired, but very effective. That's the funny thing about the
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: min restruction. When you get the number, sometimes it's frustrating,
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: and sometimes it's almost too many minutes when a guy
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: hasn't played. You know, playing three on three and five
• 24:31
  Speaker 7: on five with coaches is not the same as playing
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: against the Blazers and Drew Holliday picking you up full.
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: The first time he touched the ball, I thought he
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: was good. He was aggressive, got to the paint. I
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: loved the six rebounds, the three assists. I think the
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: more he has the ball and gets in the paint,
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: the more experience he has doing that. I think the
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: assist totals will go even higher because he really does
• 24:51
  Speaker 7: bring two three people with his length and the way
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: he can finish.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: Tell you something about Peyton Watson and just the way
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: that David Adaman talked about him. He's not going anywhere
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: with that guy.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm saying beyond this season, I think that they
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: value his game and think about it. He missed what
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: six weeks fix? You don't know that you could say
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: that now, you could say something entirely different.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Come June.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: He missed six weeks.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: He comes back in for twenty minutes, puts in fourteen points,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: and I don't know how many guys in this roster
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: can do that.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Listen, man, he was There are times he looked very,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: very tired, and he said as much after the game.
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: He was fatigued. He was forcing shots because you want
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: to get back into it. You know, a lot of
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: it is experimental. At this point, when you're on a
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: minute's restriction, you just want to see how far you
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: could take your body. It's going to take three or
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: four more games. That's why it was so important, Moje
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to have everybody intact for some sort of runway into
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. You can't just come back for the playoffs
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: because that's a completely different form of intensity. You got
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: to have this runway. And now they have one. They
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: have some games to get this rotation going, and I'm
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: eager to see what they do with this rotation.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: You know, Vick, I looked to last year. I'm right
• 26:04
  Speaker 5: there with you too, because I I've come around to
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: your line of thinking, Man, just get the four, just
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: have home floor against Houston, and I think, you know
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: you have, You're gonna win. And then you start to
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: ramp up last year for the Avalanche. You know you
• 26:18
  Speaker 5: have brought Nelson, you know, just got traded. Landy comes
• 26:21
  Speaker 5: back and he plays a couple with the Eagles, then
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: he plays with the Avs.
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: If man, if you could have gotten by Dallas.
• 26:27
  Speaker 5: That's why having that Dallas matchup in the first round
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: was such a pain in the tail because that you
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: had to have that as a ramp up, as a
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: sort of chemistry ramp up scenario. You weren't your full
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: selves even when that friggin series started and you had
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: to have that.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: You know, you needed a ramp up.
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: And God if they just could have got byed and
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: they could have gone on a run, because I think
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: you could see it start to ramp And for the Nuggets,
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: I completely agree. I think you would love just to
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: see that that chemistry start to come to get whether
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: the schedule is gonna help itself out here, and then
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: get the four and go from there. You know, I mean,
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: whomever you face and round number two.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I heard you say the appetizer and you said, Brett
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: that it doesn't really matter who you play in the postseason.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Right now, you're fine with anybody.
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: I think with the seeding part of it, no matter
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: who you play, Like the first round, yeah it matters.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: But I think for the rounds after that, whether you
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: got like let's say that they magically got the three seed,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: that the Lakers fall apart and you went out, you're
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: still going to have back to back series where you
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: face the Thunder and the Spurs.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: But I would one rather play the Spurs in the
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: second round. In the Thunder, it'd be preferable.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying you have to go. You're gonna have
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: to go through both of them regardless. Understood, But it
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: just depends on the order. But if I told you
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: who would you rather.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Play, who, do you think you have a better chance
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: against San Antonio?
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because they have to prove what they haven't proven
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: anything in the playoffs. I wasn't saying that in a
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: way of like.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: They're an even matchup, sure, I was just saying it
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: feels to me, no matter what route you take, you're
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: gonna go either Spurs, Thunder or Thunder Spurs, depending how
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: far you go.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I can tell you this, the one and
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: two seeds are gonna have cakewalks in the first round
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: because they're gonna give neither Phoenix and the Clippers, Phoenix
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: and the Blazers. They're gonna get somebody that they can
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: walk over. The rest of the West is going to
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: be good luck, right, It's it's gonna be hardmare between
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: the Lakers, Rockets, Nuggets, and Timberwolves. Those four teams, anyone
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: can beat anyone. I think we can all agree yep, for.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: Sure, A hundred percent. Yeah, a hundred percent. But it's
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: uh either way. I just I've been waiting to see
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: this team intact. Your your point of man. This team
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: hasn't been like this since November twelfth?
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: Is that what it was? We haven't seen this.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: This put together a team since November twelfth is crazy
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: to me. And just give me some ramp up, give
• 29:04
  Speaker 5: me some some chemistry, because I love the makeup of
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: the team when everything is going right and they're playing
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: the way they should play.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: On a second, yeah, Dwayne on the text lane regarding
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: the kids in Pittsburgh for three days remote learning it
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: because this just stuns me, Dwayne writes in you're right, Vic, Yes,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: they can make the kids remote learn. The parents have
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: to make arrangements and adjustments. Think about what you just said.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Think about what you just said, Dwayne. The parents have
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: to readjust their entire life structure because the NFL is
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: holding a draft for three days in your city. You're smiling,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: you're smiling. Just just just just think about what you
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: just typed into your phone. I'm smiling because motion was
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: in the middle of making this is more important. I
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: don't know if it is I don't know. Wait, I
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I got it. I don't know what more you want
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: me to say, but the remote learning day, I yes,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I get it. I understand.
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: Most you do.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: You have anything to say?
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't necessarily disagree with you, but it's happening, Okay,
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: So you're just gonna have to.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Deal with it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: You're just gonna have to make make make plans your life.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: I don't see Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is surrounded by hills Brett Okay,
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: and people live on these hills. They live over the
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: hills and blah blah blah blah blah. Well, how if
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: they're in Pittsburgh, Like if the draft was in Denver
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: and people in Ourvada are remote learning, well then they're stupid.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, but how many people around you?
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: But then don't have it in Pittsburgh actually lived? But
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: then don't have it in Pittsburgh. If you can't because
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: you have to redo your entire then then guess what.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: You don't get it.
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
• 30:47
  Speaker 5: As soon as the program is done, I'm gonna get dressed,
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go to city Hall. I'm gonna go, Hey,
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: sweep Bays my boy, Vick wants to know.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Why you're shoting is coming from the biggest sports. I mean,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: this is my life, my livelihood sports.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Can I ask one other thing real quick? Is Valentinois
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: just not gonna play anymore? Is valent just done? He
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: hasn't been in the rotation. I think it's going to
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: be on a knee basis. If the opposing team goes big,
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: then you've got him at the ready.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Do they think he's playing poorly?
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: Like I don't.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I haven't noticed him playing better.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: There's there's been games and matchups in which it doesn't work,
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: But I think he's been fine.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I'll just ask you, when are the Nuggets? I'll ask
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: both of you guys this. It's a pretty easy question
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: to answer. When are the Nuggets at their best defensively?
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: When they can switch everything? Yeah, when they can switch
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: one through five, switch switch switch everything switchable, right, And
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: they've done that the last couple of games going small
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: and the reward you could see it. Man a thirteen
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to two run the other night and then a what
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: was a nine to three run yesterday in the fourth quarter,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: both compliments of small ball. Yeah, because they're able to switch.
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: There's the difference if you're facing a team that's got bigs. Though,
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: if you're facing OKC, I feel like you kind of got.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: To, don't you.
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: You gotta give them at least a look. Now, we'll see,
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: there's plenty of time to figure that out. But now
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: with guys fully healthy, I mean, Jonas has been out
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: of the rotation entirely, So.
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: Just just put the dudes together, get some chemistry, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: then let's go. Because even if you're going on the road,
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: I feel like you have a shot to beat everybody
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: in the postseason.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: I really do.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Three three, five, four, nine two five. Oh by the way, next.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, stories around sports in the world
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: we feel like you should be aware of. In the
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: NCAA tournament, did you happen to see? Kevin Willard was
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: not happy with his Villanova teams start versus Utah State
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: and said the only thing I'm gonna do is fire
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: them and get a new staff in the middle of
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: the game, which seems like a pretty wild decision to
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: make mid game. With an interview, he said that it
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: was a joke, but he after the game, he said
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: it was a joke, but he still was not happy
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: with his.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't understand the joke if that was a joke,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: because I heard it and it seems serious. I mean,
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: he isn't so angry. Yeah, he didn't smile when he
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: said it. Yeah, I weird decision. But in the NCAA turn.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, I wanted to say this, so
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: Tim Hardaway Junior, you know we talked about accolades for
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: people outside of Nikola Jokic. How that hasn't happened yet.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: Finally Jamal gets an All Star notz you have one
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: of those. And I wondered Tim Hardaway's got to be
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: in the conversation for six Man of the Year And
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: he said, straight up was it after the game on
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Friday Vic that he wants it.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he he wants He's done everything the last
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: four six Man of the Year award winners have done.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: They average about the same amount of points. This guy
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: is instant offense off the bench. I can't tell you
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: how many games he's pretty much won for the Nuggets
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: by himself. So yeah, he should be a candidate. He
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: should want it.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: I want to see the exact odds here. I'm assuming
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: one of these sites will happen.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of who the other candidates might be.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, nos Reed's always a candidate because he's always
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: up there. He's already won the award. Yeah, so nos
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: Reed has to be won. Tim Hardaway has.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: To be won.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Let's see Peyton Pritchard is a former winner. I think
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I don't even think he's top five in the odds,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: which is said wrong. Sixth Man of the Year. The
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: favorite right now is Hi May.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Kaz the Miami Miami. Keldon Johnson is second, nos
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Reed is third, Reed Shepherd from Houston is fourth. Aj
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Mitchell from the Thunder is fifth, and then Hardway.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: This is I mean, look at Hardaway's numbers compared to
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Keldon Johnson the Saint.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. He has been so money
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: for him too this year. Trying to figure out, so
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: this one's interesting.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know this works. Clutch Player of the Year.
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: Did you know that Jokich and Murray are third and
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: fourth in that category despite the Nuggets not being clutched
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: the season?
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: What are the what are the.
• 35:14
  Speaker 5: What's the I guess the criteria to be clutch Player
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: of the Year.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I have no idea, no idea, but just for the record.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Mos Shay is minus eleven to win that award, so
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: it's his.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Who's second MVP? I have a feeling Luca, so scrept
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: up that list.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: Shae is the overwhelming favorite to win that. Luca is second,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: followed by Victor women Yama, then Jokic.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: That's the top four. Do you care? No, Yokich miss
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: him many games anymore.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: Couldn't couldn't care less, couldn't care less anymore, zero zero care.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Few other things. So I've got one too, Yeah, go ahead.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Regarding the Pittsburgh closing schools down during the draft, Loretta
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: says VIC, I totally agree with you. These are probably
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: the same parents that cry because schools give a snow day,
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: but it's okay to take three days for a draft. Smh.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Carrie says Vic's outrage is dumb unless it's about remote
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: learning instead of just calling school off. Those two days
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: don't mean jack for attention of knowledge. I guess my
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: argument against you carry is, so if those two days
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: don't mean anything, where do you draw the line? If
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: they don't mean anything, all right, then a week doesn't
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: mean anything. Two weeks don't mean anything? Why go to
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: school at all? I'll tell you what that's YouTube. School.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: School's not necessary. I know better yet. From now on, kids,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: if you're going to school right now, you will learn
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: via our radio show. We will be your school. This
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: is school is in session. I will teach. I'll be
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: in charge of spelling. Most you've got geography, Brett, what
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: do you got? I'll do math, You'll do math. Nelly
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: music class, music class, I'll teach music.
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: From now on, school will be heard here for three
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: hours every morning. Tune in from seven to ten. You
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: have the rest of the day off.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Speaking of school, did you guys see that Colorado College,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: their lacrosse team has joined a new conference. Yeah, they
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: have joined the New Jersey Athletic Conference.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: I know, I know you guys were you sent that
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: text out to or Nelly did? But you realize that
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: most of the lacrosse conferences are out east, right, Like
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: at one point du was in the what's du in?
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: Right?
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: Now? Are they in the Big Ten?
• 37:38
  Speaker 6: Still?
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: What's do you in? Look at Dou's conference? Colorado College
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: from Colorado Springs in the New Jersey Athletic Conference is
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: very odd. I understand that.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Schools on this Sanford, California is in the ACC Brett.
• 37:56
  Speaker 8: What yeah, what the Pioneers men's cross team is in
• 38:00
  Speaker 8: the Big East Conference?
• 38:04
  Speaker 6: Big East? There you go.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: At least it's multiplayers.
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: Syracuse and Georgia stoples State's involved.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: How's this now?
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: I don't know what the numbers are now most but
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: this was on March nineteenth. The Buffalo Sabers are now
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: thirty two, six and two in their last forty games.
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: At that time, no team had more wins in a
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: forty game stretch of the season since the nineteen ninety
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: five Detroit Red Wings.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: The Buffalo SA.
• 38:31
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna ask you both one simple question. Have you
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: ever seen a team get a GM bump? No mid season,
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: no a GM not a coaching bump, a GM bump,
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: a GM bump, Because that's what happened to Buffalo, And
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: as soon as Kevin Adams was out, they started.
• 38:51
  Speaker 6: To win and win and win and win.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: If you want the opposite side, sane, the opposite side
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: of this, Calgary, whoever since they traded Nas back here
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: to Colorado, has basically waved the white flag on the season.
• 39:05
  Speaker 6: They're done.
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: It was before that too, but especially after that, did
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: you know you can get in the building the next
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: three Calgary Flames home games, they play the Tampa Bay
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Lightning you can get in for twelve bucks. They play
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: the Kings you can get in for eight bucks, and
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: they play Anaheim, which you can get in for seven bucks.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Closure.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: That leads me to this seven bucks.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: If Edmonton couldn't get it done, and they knocked on
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: the door here a couple times over the last few years,
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: if they can't win one for Canada, who in the
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: hell can.
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: Ah ha ha ha ha. It's nobody this year, that's
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: for dang.
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: Sure.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: I mean Montreal's up and coming back. Well, I mean
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: it's up and coming. They're gonna be in the postseason.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: Montreal is building something pretty cool. But the leaf stink
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Auto is out, Winnipeg is out, Calgary's way out Edmonton
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: in that Pacific I I've haven't oh by the way
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: for you one of the best. It's one of the
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: best damn comments in ever seen. Vancouvers the worst team
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: in the league. They've already been mathematically eliminated, the first
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: team to be eliminated, the Vancouver Canucks. Oh, by the way,
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: I got a couple of things, But did you see
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: the comments of one Connor McDavid over the weekend.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: I did, okay, he said, Vic Brett.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: He said that they're fortunate to be in the Pacific Division.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: He said, we all are because right now this is
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: nothing but.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: A pillow fight.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought, and I'm thinking to myself, that is
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: one of the greatest quotes.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: That's what the Pacific is. It's a pillow fight. There's
• 40:38
  Speaker 6: nothing going on there.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: It scares you that they suddenly wake up the postseason though, Oh.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: Dude, Utah is licking its chops to cross over and
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: play the winner of the Pacific?
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: Are you kidding me?
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: Having said that, most Edmonton would still scare me as
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: an opponent in the postseason. I would not want to
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: play it. Forgot about it. How long is he out.
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: The season?
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: He's in Germany?
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: He gone, gone, Yeah, he's over there having some schnitzel again.
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: His knee opened up. Hey real quick, Vic, I want
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: to ask you specifically about this. How do you feel
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: about racing?
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Racing, what foot racing, what you want to want to race?
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: The two hundred track auto auto racing. I know that
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: Michael Jordan is suddenly on a dynastic run in auto racing.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: His team can't lose.
• 41:31
  Speaker 5: He is he is well, Kurtzignetti, I guess when you

• 41:44
  Speaker 5: upcoming Indy five hundred, a brand new Chevy Corvette z
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: R one x, the most advanced Corvette ever made. Now,
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: if somebody said, hey, Vick Lombardy, we want you to
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: drive the pace car at the eighty five hundred, would
• 41:55
  Speaker 5: you consider that an honor or?
• 41:56
  Speaker 6: Would you be like, I don't. I don't do racing cartoons.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: That'd be the greatest honor.
• 42:00
  Speaker 6: You kidding me.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: I'd hit that. I'd accelerate all the way to three
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: five miles an hour. I'm a slow driver, That's the thing, dude.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: I couldn't do that either.

• 42:20
  Speaker 2: the limit, but I don't push my car to three digits.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: I don't do that. That's too scary. I don't like it. Yeah,
