  That's the 66, Neil. I am the 410.
• 0:11
  Nick. It's going to be the first show
• 0:15
  where we don't have college football, NFL, really college
• 0:20
  hoops. We've been doing this since
• 0:22
  August. This is episode #40 somehow I
• 0:25
  was looking at that today. It's going crazy, but the first
• 0:29
  time that we do not have any of those three to talk about to
• 0:32
  break down, but we do still have plenty to talk about.
• 0:34
  We'll talk about the Masters, talk about the NBA, The the
• 0:40
  there's a rule that's keeping a lot of people from being
• 0:42
  eligible, from being MVP. We'll talk some City Connects
• 0:46
  jerseys, which a lot of teams released those last week and
• 0:49
  played in them over the weekend. The Kings game, I was there
• 0:54
  working it on Friday and you, you and the juice man and
• 0:59
  everybody was at the local establishment watching every bit
• 1:03
  of the action. The game ended with with a on a
• 1:08
  penalty. Not not actually scoring stupid
• 1:12
  still have plenty to talk about and then we also have what would
• 1:14
  Joe do to close it. But before we get started if
• 1:17
  you're watching live or catching this later, make sure to

  us on social at height differential.
• 1:32
  Rory McIlroy back-to-back, the only the 4th person ever to do
• 1:39
  it, and the people that are in that category are all really,
• 1:46
  really good at golf. Jack did it in 65 and 66, Nick
• 1:50
  Faldo did it in 89 and 90, Tiger in O1, O2 and now Rory, who
• 1:55
  couldn't get the elusive Masters, did it last year to
• 1:59
  complete the Grand Slam and now has won two in a row.
• 2:04
  Yeah, I mean, incredible. I mean, good for Rory.
• 2:06
  I mean, he went all that time going into last year.
• 2:09
  Will he ever win that elusive Masters and complete that career
• 2:12
  Grand Slam? And he finally broke through
• 2:15
  last year and came back this year and basically owned the
• 2:19
  course. I mean, he started out on fire,
• 2:22
  absolutely on fire. It was 12 under after the first
• 2:25
  two rounds had a six shot lead going into the weekend and then
• 2:30
  you know as you expect in in on Master Saturday and Master
• 2:32
  Sunday. Things get a little more
• 2:33
  difficult and he ended up shooting even par total for the
• 2:36
  last two rounds, but that was still good enough to hold hold
• 2:39
  his lead. He ends up beating Sky Shuffler
• 2:42
  by 1. But good for Rory had his
• 2:43
  parents I saw in the gallery as long also with his wife and and
• 2:48
  and daughters. A A family affair for the
• 2:51
  Mcelroy's yesterday at Augusta. No, and dude, you talk about his
• 2:56
  Friday and he had 9 birdies on Friday alone, went 343131 on the
• 3:05
  back to build that six stroke lead and you're seeing him do
• 3:12
  that on Friday afternoon. He's up 6 on everybody.
• 3:17
  He's up 12 on the world number one Scotty Scheffler, who has
• 3:23
  had slow starts this year and it's something that he is been
• 3:27
  able to fight back but not really overcome and get wins.
• 3:30
  We we see this story again this week.
• 3:33
  But on Friday where everybody was really scoring.
• 3:36
  Scotty just couldn't figure it out and built himself.
• 3:40
  He was playing in the morning too and he built just dug
• 3:47
  himself a hole 12 deep. Would like you said, Rory goes
• 3:50
  into to Saturday and does struggle and then Cam Young
• 3:55
  shoots 65 on Saturday to pull even.
• 3:58
  So then all of a sudden you you're going to Sunday, you've
• 4:01
  got Cam Young and Rory up there at the top.
• 4:04
  And the one that I was looking at was was Justin Rose, who was
• 4:08
  just he was 3 back starting the day.
• 4:12
  And after what he went through last year, getting to that
• 4:17
  playoff against Rory and losing in the first playoff hole, he's
• 4:20
  came in second three times prior to this year.
• 4:23
  His his name's on the trophy three times for coming in
• 4:26
  second. So I was really kind of hoping
• 4:30
  to see Justin Rose be able to get that elusive Masters, get
• 4:34
  that green jacket. And there was a point on Sunday
• 4:39
  where I was like, oh, Dang, this is this is really going to
• 4:42
  happen. Rory has that double on that
• 4:45
  three putt on on 4 and then he and then he bogey 6.
• 4:50
  Cam Young flies the green on 7 after bogey and six and ends up
• 4:56
  bogey and seven goes back-to-back and Justin Rose
• 5:01
  goes on a little heater birdies 578 and 9 gets up to where he's
• 5:07
  2 up, go heading to the back and you're like, after all his close
• 5:12
  chances, this might be it. And he gets the Amen's corner.
• 5:19
  And look, dude, First off, you got to give Rory credit because
• 5:21
  after that double and after that bogey, he had back-to-back birds
• 5:26
  on 7 and 8 to kind of calm everything down and get
• 5:29
  everything right. But he still needed some help to
• 5:33
  to get the lead and 11's a tough hole.
• 5:39
  And I don't know if you saw Rose, but he like actually
• 5:43
  pulled up before his approach shot.
• 5:46
  It's like 200 in and he just the water's on the left.
• 5:50
  So you don't want to go left and he flew it so far right and then
• 5:54
  he got to go over that bunker and you but you can't go too far
• 5:57
  because it'll roll in that same water.
• 5:59
  And then he bogeys, he gets to 12, he goes long, he chunks his
• 6:02
  chip birdies or bogeys back-to-back Bogues.
• 6:06
  And then Rory really won it with his his tee shot on 12, the one
• 6:11
  over the bunker that just rolled down.
• 6:13
  And Cam y'all got a great shot on that that hole too.
• 6:16
  It's just he couldn't make a putt all day.
• 6:18
  Rory makes his putt and then he bombs it down. 1313 he hadn't
• 6:21
  had a good drive all week and as the best drive of his tournament
• 6:25
  on 13 ends up birdie. And those two shots I thought
• 6:28
  were one of his tee shot at 12 and 13.
• 6:30
  And it's just he made the plays that he had to make down the
• 6:36
  stretch and Justin Rose and Scotty just didn't have enough
• 6:39
  because I think he would like 4. If Scotty's putt on 17 that he I
• 6:43
  mean, I don't know how it didn't go in.
• 6:45
  It was a centimeter, just a centimeter off.
• 6:48
  I mean, that goes in and we might be looking at a playoff
• 6:51
  and a potential Scotty Shuffler green jacket instead, but.
• 6:54
  Scotty Scotty went four through 14 without only Parse.
• 6:59
  Yeah. So while everybody is just kind
• 7:02
  of Rory was kind of in neutral, not really making moves, Scotty
• 7:06
  had opportunities and he had a couple big par saves.
• 7:09
  You said he went. He went bogey free over the
• 7:11
  weekend, the first player, first time since. 1942 where he went
• 7:18
  but the only player since 1942 to go bogey free on the weekend.
• 7:21
  He had 9 birdies and an eagle over the final two rounds and no
• 7:24
  bogey. But then he finally does get
• 7:26
  those two birdies on 15 and 16, and nobody was birdie in 17 all
• 7:30
  day on Sunday. And the whole way it looks like
• 7:35
  that's going in the whole way and just doesn't fall.
• 7:42
  That changes the outlook of Rory's 18th hole dramatically if
• 7:48
  that falls and he's going to the 18th of 1 instead of 2.
• 7:55
  And how about the camera work on the 18th hole on Rory's?
• 7:57
  Was it his tee shot that? No.
• 8:00
  Or second shot. It was the second shot.
• 8:02
  That nobody knew where the ball was I.
• 8:05
  Like there was a you see a ball in the bunker and you're like,
• 8:08
  is that Cam Young or is that Rory?
• 8:10
  No. I don't know.
• 8:12
  I don't know who it is. But also think about how much
• 8:16
  goes into broadcasting. Oh yeah, golf.
• 8:21
  It's hard. Like they're all over the place.
• 8:26
  It's like, it's like NFL red zone.
• 8:29
  But it's it's just every single time it's golf.
• 8:32
  Like, I mean, there's players all over the course.
• 8:36
  You're trying to get as many shots as you can and you still
• 8:40
  get upset when you're watching. We're like, why aren't you
• 8:42
  showing this guy? Why aren't you showing this guy?
• 8:46
  But yeah, you're right. Like on 18, no idea where his
• 8:49
  shot was going. Dude, this is the thing about
• 8:53
  Rory and why he's so hard to beat.
• 8:58
  Like he led the field in driving distance by 5 yards.
• 9:04
  He averaged 335 yards off the tee.
• 9:08
  The second closest was got her up at 329.
• 9:10
  Now if you look at those two guys compared, you're like, this
• 9:13
  dude got her up's going to be hitting the ball a lot far.
• 9:15
  Yeah, you would expect that, yeah.
• 9:17
  But and the Rory's body, I did like his flexibility.
• 9:21
  I don't know what it is because he's not, I mean, he's stocky,
• 9:23
  but he's not a super big dude. But he led the he led the field
• 9:29
  in driving distance. He ranked second to last in
• 9:37
  fairways hit out of 56 fairways. He hit 31 for the week, but just
• 9:46
  like that shot on 18, like he visits so far right that he
• 9:51
  almost helped him have a look at it.
• 9:54
  Yeah. I mean, if somebody who hits the
• 9:58
  ball 180, if I'm lucky, if I get a downhill roll, I could maybe
• 10:03
  get the 190. Like just the fact that you can
• 10:07
  hit the ball that far, it just doesn't even seem real to me.
• 10:12
  It's incredible. I don't know, but it it was a
• 10:16
  wild Sunday. And like you said, after the
• 10:18
  double bogey and the bogey from Rory and you know, we, we have
• 10:22
  3, three different solo leaders within the span.
• 10:25
  I feel like of like maybe 45 minutes, I mean, cameon the door
• 10:30
  was open. Rory, Rory leaves the door open
• 10:33
  and Cam Young, instead of taking advantage, he goes 3 bogeys out
• 10:37
  of his last four holes on the front side and then doesn't even
• 10:40
  birdie anything on the back. He's just straight pars on the
• 10:42
  backside. Couldn't make a putt like we
• 10:43
  talked about. You mentioned Scotty Scheffler,
• 10:46
  you know, the straight pars from 4 to 14 and 40 finally gets hot
• 10:50
  toward the end, but you know, it's a little too little too
• 10:52
  late. And then with Justin Rose, like
• 10:54
  you mentioned, he had, he was on fire on the front 9, had the
• 10:56
  four under on the front, has the solo lead by two and then he
• 11:02
  goes three over on the back or two over on the back.
• 11:04
  Sorry, two over on the back, but the door was open, the doors
• 11:07
  open and nobody could kick it down.
• 11:09
  Well, it's not just two over either.
• 11:11
  Like so he, Justin Rose bogeyed 11 and 12, but then 13 is a
• 11:16
  gettable part 5 and dude hit an incredible, incredible second
• 11:21
  shot to get on the green, was above the hole, had like a 15
• 11:26
  footer for eagle. Oh, he threw.
• 11:29
  Jackie, back-to-back Bogues to where you've given up the lead.
• 11:33
  Now you've got a chance to get those two right back and you
• 11:37
  slide it past and then you don't make the comebacker.
• 11:41
  And that part is just like getting another bogey because
• 11:44
  the majority of the field is birdie in that hole.
• 11:47
  And you can tell that it was getting to Justin Rose a little
• 11:53
  bit on 14. He had another good drive on 14.
• 11:56
  He's in the fairway, but just like I said on 11 where he
• 11:59
  pulled off his ball, on 14, you see him yelling at somebody
• 12:03
  because they started a golf cart or something.
• 12:06
  And like, at that point to me, like you, I could just kind of
• 12:10
  tell that he was in his head a little bit and he never really,
• 12:18
  he had another birdie coming down the stretch, but never
• 12:21
  really had a chance to to got to where he was ended, you know, a
• 12:27
  spot to win it again. You know, you talk about Cam
• 12:31
  Young. Yeah, he had the lead after six
• 12:34
  holes and the buddy bogeyed 6. Then he what, Bogeyed 7, came
• 12:40
  back, birdied 8 and then bogeyed 9.
• 12:43
  After that, he pared out the rest of the way.
• 12:46
  We talked about Rory shot on 12. Cams was just as good.
• 12:50
  It was just a little bit outside of him, but Rory made his and
• 12:54
  Cam Young didn't. And really down the stretch it
• 12:58
  was, I mean, the last couple holes it was either Scotty or or
• 13:04
  Rory. And I just keep going back to
• 13:06
  that. If that putt goes in on 17, I
• 13:09
  think this thing's a lot different because if I mean,
• 13:14
  Rory knew that all he had to do was bogey to win it.
• 13:16
  When when that's the the case, you know, it gives you a little
• 13:20
  leeway. If he knows he has to part to
• 13:22
  win that, then that bunker shot is a lot different than what it
• 13:25
  was. But dude, here's another thing.
• 13:27
  Cam Young shot 40 on Thursday. Just start the tournament on the
• 13:32
  front. Yeah.
• 13:36
  Shot 40. I think 4 / 4 over through nine.
• 13:39
  Yeah, he bounced. He yeah, you're right.
• 13:40
  He I was looking at that because that was your pick to win the
• 13:43
  thing and I was about to text you, make fun of you when I saw
• 13:46
  that he was 4 over. But glad I didn't.
• 13:51
  Well, I mean if you want to get into that.
• 13:53
  No, we don't want to get into that, no.
• 13:56
  Our draft, I think we have to one of the most dominating
• 14:02
  performances in the history of high differential drafts.
• 14:06
  Who were my top? Give me my picks again.
• 14:08
  Let's go through the picks again.
• 14:09
  Well, let's. Let's go through an order of the
• 14:11
  draft. Do you pick Bryson or I pick
• 14:13
  Scotty first? Scotty comes in second.
• 14:16
  I picked Shaw, Zander. Your first trick was Bryson and
• 14:20
  Zander. Yeah, Zander was my first pick.
• 14:23
  He was T9. He he had a he did an OK
• 14:25
  tournament. It wasn't great, but you know,
• 14:27
  and then. Bryce got cut as he blew up on
• 14:29
  18 and decided just to go home. He sure did.
• 14:33
  And then? You allowed you allowed me to
• 14:35
  take Rory with the 4th pick and then I get Cam Young with the
• 14:39
  5th pick. So as my first 3 picks, I have
• 14:43
  first, second and third. Then you get it back, you take
• 14:47
  Ober who finished 21st, you get Fleetwood who vanished 33rd and
• 14:52
  then I get to come back and take Jay Rose another third place
• 14:57
  finish. And then my long player not to
• 15:00
  make the cut was Akshay. And then you took got her up and
• 15:03
  got her up finished 24th. But after I mean.
• 15:07
  We we both had one guy missed the cut and the rest of my guys
• 15:09
  were top 30, just not top five. We're not over top three.
• 15:14
  Top three. I had first, second and two top
• 15:17
  threes in my 4. Yeah.
• 15:20
  You had a tie for ninth, a tie for 21st, a tie for 24th and a
• 15:24
  tie for 33rd wasn't great. And we both had a cut guy.
• 15:28
  Yeah. How many?
• 15:31
  So everybody's talking about, you've seen all this talk where
• 15:35
  everybody's kind of already talked about how he had
• 15:38
  practiced there several times. Yeah, He had taken his kid to
• 15:43
  school, gets on a private jet, flies to Augusta.
• 15:46
  Yes, Plays. It flies back.
• 15:48
  Yes. And everybody's, oh, that's,
• 15:51
  that's why he won because he gets to practice so much.
• 15:55
  What you got anything on that? I mean, it's an advantage.
• 15:59
  I mean, the more you get to go play Augusta, you know, the
• 16:02
  better you're probably going to be in the Masters.
• 16:04
  They all have the right to play it.
• 16:05
  If you're in the field, you can play it.
• 16:07
  Sure. Do they have the luxury of
• 16:09
  having a private jet? Not all of them, no.
• 16:12
  Not all of. Them and Rory's sitting out some
• 16:15
  of these, you know, tournaments that he doesn't need, like a lot
• 16:18
  of these guys that are playing in the Masters, like they might
• 16:20
  need the the World Golf Ranking points.
• 16:23
  And so they're playing some tournaments that Rory's probably
• 16:25
  like, I'm too good for this. I'm not, I can sit this one out.
• 16:28
  And so while they're, you know, playing in Texas or they're
• 16:32
  playing in Hawaii or they're playing in wherever California,
• 16:35
  Rory's, you know, going, taking a little Tuesday, Tuesday flight
• 16:39
  up to Augusta and he's back home for dinner to pick his kid up
• 16:41
  from school. So is it an advantage?
• 16:43
  I mean, absolutely. I mean, how's it not an
• 16:45
  advantage? But Rory's good enough.
• 16:47
  And he's been good enough over his career.
• 16:48
  He's earned that advantage. Yeah.
• 16:52
  And like like I said, if you're in the field, you can go, you
• 16:54
  can practice there. Is there a limit?
• 16:57
  I don't know. But and I don't know how many
• 17:00
  times Rory practice there. It's probably exaggerated, but
• 17:03
  are they going to tell Rory McIlroy, the defending champion?
• 17:06
  Hey, Bob. No, it's it's been enough.
• 17:08
  It's it's enough practice now. So you think like a guy, like a
• 17:11
  maverick. Mcneely can just show up to
• 17:13
  August and knock on the door and they're going to play.
• 17:15
  Yes, OK, 100%. OK, I didn't know if like,
• 17:20
  since, you know, Rory is now he's got his green jacket, he
• 17:23
  can basically do whatever he wants there.
• 17:25
  So I didn't know. If you're in the field.
• 17:27
  If you're in the field, you can practice.
• 17:30
  But how do you know if you're in the maybe some of these guys
• 17:32
  just qualified like within the last couple weeks?
• 17:34
  Well, that was the case with Gary Woodland, so I don't know
• 17:37
  if he practiced. Like if he doesn't win last
• 17:39
  week, he's not in the field. So he couldn't practice?
• 17:42
  So you're saying he couldn't show up to Augusta?
• 17:44
  He wasn't in the field, so I I don't think that he could Now
• 17:47
  look there. He's famous golfer who's been
• 17:49
  through a lot. Maybe they'd let him play.
• 17:51
  I don't know how that works, but if you're in the field, you are
• 17:54
  allowed to go practice. OK.
• 17:58
  And some people just have private jets, which is an
• 18:01
  advantage. But guess what?
• 18:02
  Having a private jet is an advantage in a lot of things in
• 18:04
  life. You can do a lot of things that
• 18:08
  people that are getting in their cars like.
• 18:14
  And look, we drove past it on our way to Atlanta.
• 18:19
  Ain't no way to even get to that course.
• 18:20
  And they know you're coming because you can't even see it.
• 18:24
  It's walled up. You can't, you can't see
• 18:26
  anything. Like we tried to get a glimpse
• 18:29
  of something and you can't see anything.
• 18:33
  It is, it's wild. It is wild.
• 18:35
  How many we? Remember last week we talked
• 18:39
  about the the food menu and Michael Vanover by the way, who
• 18:45
  has been to the Masters, agreed to 100% with my $12.00 spent.
• 18:50
  How about the dude you got? Something right last week.
• 18:52
  How about the dude that's just posted up all four days with the
• 18:56
  egg salad hat? Different.
• 18:59
  Different ones. Different colors every time.
• 19:02
  The man just loves the egg salad.
• 19:04
  Gets the egg salad hat. Would you purchase an egg salad
• 19:07
  hat sandwich of an egg salad sandwich hat.
• 19:11
  Would you purchase an egg salad sandwich hat?
• 19:13
  Would I? Yes.
• 19:15
  No, I've never had egg salad in my life.
• 19:19
  I'm not, I'm not a egg like the whole deviled eggs for Easter
• 19:24
  like y'all can have that I don't.
• 19:26
  Touch. Yeah, I want that too.
• 19:27
  Yeah. I and look, I know people love
• 19:30
  it and look forward to it and you know what?
• 19:32
  You get even more because I'm not going to eat 1.
• 19:35
  But he was getting crushed on. He was getting crushed on
• 19:37
  Twitter. Apparently they have a pimento.
• 19:39
  Cheese crushed. If you're passionate about egg
• 19:41
  salad and you've got all the hats and you're going to be in
• 19:43
  the same spot and you get noticed.
• 19:46
  I don't know. Apparently they they make a
• 19:47
  pimento cheese one that just says it's a red one I think, or
• 19:50
  an orange one, one of the two that just says pimento across.
• 19:53
  It don't they have variations like the egg salad one because
• 19:57
  he was wearing all different. Colors.
• 19:59
  It was like 4. Yeah, he did have four different
• 20:01
  colors maybe, but. I would wear a pimento.
• 20:04
  You get a pimento. Pimento cheese hat.
• 20:06
  Yeah, I can get down with some pimento cheese.
• 20:08
  I can get down with that. But I'm glad you got something
• 20:12
  right. I'm glad you're your food menu
• 20:16
  purchases for 12 bucks was a success and then you had other
• 20:20
  people agree. Oh, we came to learn that the
• 20:23
  what was what was the name of the beer that they call it the
• 20:26
  specialty beer. Crow's nest.
• 20:28
  It's it's apparently just a blue moon.
• 20:30
  I think they lost their contract blue Moon and they're like we'll
• 20:32
  just make our own or they they just relabel.
• 20:35
  It is. I don't know what they do.
• 20:36
  I think they might just relabel it I.
• 20:37
  Don't we still got to figure out what the tomato pie is?
• 20:42
  It's got to be a slice of pizza, right?
• 20:44
  I don't think it is. I think they would call that
• 20:46
  pizza. It's like a fancy word for Peach
• 20:49
  you need. To figure that out for next
• 20:51
  year. The tomato pie.
• 20:52
  It's a good cheese pizza. I don't know.
• 20:55
  But I, I, I know I was listening to Smiley Kaufman as I listened
• 21:00
  to his pod and he was talking about the the Peach ice cream.
• 21:05
  Legit. Also the the candy bar, what you
• 21:08
  think is just a regular, OK, they're talk about how good that
• 21:11
  candy bar is too. Is it not just the Snickers or
• 21:13
  something I. Don't know.
• 21:14
  I don't know. Well, you went Peach caramel
• 21:17
  corn crunch or something over there.
• 21:19
  Some popcorn or. Something.
• 21:20
  I'll do it again. OK, I'll.
• 21:22
  Do it again. What did I I got the pimento
• 21:24
  cheese. You were all over the mat.
• 21:27
  Oh, you were all over the mat. Well, yours was a lot easier
• 21:29
  because why don't you go? Slice too easy, no?
• 21:32
  I didn't do apple slices. I did.
• 21:34
  I think it just did a bag of chips.
• 21:37
  Just do a bag of chips, dude. Kisner is on that pod and he's
• 21:41
  like I I think Rory had his B minus at very best B plus game
• 21:47
  this week and he wins Masters which when you finish Friday at
• 21:54
  12 and you finish at 12. I mean, yeah.
• 21:58
  I mean if you want to average it out I think he had his A game
• 22:00
  for the 1st 2 rounds and he had his.
• 22:02
  Well, he had his A+ game on Friday.
• 22:06
  I think he had his if you if you grade him over the two rounds
• 22:09
  I'd give him an A and then if you grade him over the last two
• 22:11
  rounds he gets probably ACI. Think right around a BBB.
• 22:18
  Plus something like that is probably fair for the whole
• 22:21
  tournament. Does he?
• 22:25
  Rory's 36 now, won his first one last year at the age of 35.
• 22:28
  I mean, he had gone since 2014 since his previous major win
• 22:35
  prior to last year, so went over 11 years.
• 22:38
  Yeah. So now he's at six total and two
• 22:44
  2 masters. Does he?
• 22:48
  Does he get another masters? And how many majors does he
• 22:50
  finish with now? How many majors did you say he
• 22:53
  was at? 6.
• 22:57
  I'm going to say he does get another master's because I think
• 23:00
  he's now he's got the monkey off his back last year.
• 23:02
  He's he knows the course. Apparently he flies in on a
• 23:05
  random Tuesday for lunch and plays a quick nine and goes and
• 23:08
  picks his kid up from school. So when you're there that much,
• 23:10
  I think, yeah, you probably are going to probably win another
• 23:12
  masters. I'm going to say he finishes
• 23:15
  with a total of 9 majors. And look, you could tell that he
• 23:21
  was comfortable that he won last year because he is struggled
• 23:24
  mightily on opening rounds and he shot 67 this year, which he
• 23:29
  even talked about it. Look that that was kind of off
• 23:32
  my shoulders a little bit having that pressure than ever winning
• 23:34
  it. But you say 9.
• 23:36
  I think by the time he hangs it up, he'll get three more, three
• 23:39
  more majors somewhere in there. Yeah, I mean, the way he's
• 23:47
  playing right now, I just him and Scotty, I think people are
• 23:53
  catching up, but they're still clearly the best two in the
• 23:56
  world. Would you agree with that?
• 23:57
  There's a little separation between the the rest of the
• 24:00
  field. And I mean, I I think it's going
• 24:04
  to be that way for Cam Young's rising quickly.
• 24:09
  But I still think it's going to be those two guys are still
• 24:11
  going to be top two, at least top five for the next couple of
• 24:14
  years. They're not going to fall off
• 24:15
  that much. So him went in three more.
• 24:21
  I think it's doable. Could he get to 10?
• 24:23
  Yeah. The way he's playing in Augusta
• 24:25
  right now, I could I could see him easily get another one.
• 24:30
  I I say he gets another Masters. And we we've never would have
• 24:35
  said this before he won last year, but I think he gets to
• 24:37
  double digits. I mean, to his credit, like he's
• 24:44
  been at the top of his game for so, so long and he's still doing
• 24:48
  this after being, you know, when was his first major.
• 24:52
  I just looked it up it. Was like 2010 somewhere like
• 24:57
  10:00-ish? I think it was 11. 11 so, you
• 25:02
  know, he's, he's still at the top of his game in, you know,
• 25:04
  that's, this is 15 years later and he's went in back-to-back
• 25:07
  Masters after he so 15 years later.
• 25:09
  And you look at other guys that have, you know, yeah.
• 25:12
  And, and but you look at other guys that have been, you know,
• 25:16
  ranked at some point in their careers, world number one,
• 25:18
  you're like, oh, like this, this is the next big thing.
• 25:21
  You know, you're looking at guys like Jordan Spieth and, and, and
• 25:24
  guys like Brooks Kepka, who was at the top of his game and he
• 25:27
  was winning a couple. He won like, you know, 2 here
• 25:29
  and there like within the span of couple years.
• 25:31
  And then they're gone. They have like those two to 3-4
• 25:34
  years where they're great and then poof, they're gone.
• 25:39
  Well, just speech dealt with injuries.
• 25:40
  Kepka went to live. But even before he won, he did.
• 25:44
  Win. He won one.
• 25:45
  Why was that live? But I mean Kepka has five.
• 25:49
  Like people forget about that dude that's 5.
• 25:52
  Major but like, you don't think of him as being great anymore,
• 25:57
  you know? Because he went to live.
• 26:00
  That's dumb Dick. Yeah, I guess.
• 26:02
  But I also like even when he's played in somebody, I mean, he
• 26:04
  did find he he did finish T12 in this Masters.
• 26:08
  But I don't know like. Well, and look like look at the
• 26:12
  live guys. Hatton had a great Sunday to
• 26:14
  finish third, but and he was in the clubhouse at 10.
• 26:19
  But Rahm was terrible. Again, ISON didn't make the cut.
• 26:26
  Well, he's not a live, but no, he's still a live guy.
• 26:30
  The live guys just recently have not performed very well in in
• 26:34
  majors and I guess Hatton probably has performed most
• 26:38
  consistently. Yeah, I mean, like a guy like
• 26:40
  Dustin Johnson, like, you know, when he was winning the US Open,
• 26:43
  like Dustin Johnson was, was ranked up towards, I mean, he
• 26:46
  was top five, maybe he was even race number one in the world.
• 26:49
  Like you thought make all right, he's he's the next one.
• 26:51
  And then he he fell off before he even went to live.
• 26:55
  And like, I'm like, I don't even trust, I don't even know if I
• 26:58
  trust JT to win another major. He's got what, 2?
• 27:01
  But he's been ranked number one in the world.
• 27:03
  And you know, it's like, all right, he's the next hot, hot
• 27:05
  thing. And he has, he has some
• 27:08
  injuries, but it's like none of these guys sustain the success
• 27:12
  like Rory did and like Tiger did.
• 27:14
  And Scotty is on his way to to doing that.
• 27:18
  I think it's very possible Scotty could fall off in 2
• 27:22
  years. I.
• 27:23
  Know like he's playing as he's playing as paws.
• 27:25
  We've seen him play. I know.
• 27:27
  I know I'm I don't think it will happen.
• 27:30
  I don't think it will happen. I think Scotty's one of those
• 27:32
  guys that's getting up like Rory and Tiger, where he's going to
• 27:35
  the top of his game for 15 years.
• 27:37
  But a lot of these guys, the top of their game is it's only four
• 27:40
  or five years and then they're gone.
• 27:42
  And this, I think is this. I talked about Scotty and Rory
• 27:45
  being 1/2 and there being a drop off.
• 27:48
  I still think no matter how far Rory hits the ball, if Scotty's
• 27:52
  playing his best golf. Scotty's better.
• 27:55
  No Scotty. I think Scotty's better, yes, I
• 27:58
  agree. And he hasn't put together 4
• 28:02
  rounds this season. And I think it's going to happen
• 28:08
  at some point because you've seen you've seen spurts, but he
• 28:12
  always has that one bad round Thursday and Friday.
• 28:14
  He's fought to make several cuts this year and then he's in it at
• 28:18
  the end of it. He thought his streak of top 10s
• 28:21
  finally did come to an end. Yeah.
• 28:24
  But yeah, if they're both playing their best golf, Scotty
• 28:29
  Scotty's going to win. I agree.
• 28:33
  I just I just go back to the fact that roaring this he hit 31
• 28:38
  and 56 fairways was second to last.
• 28:41
  Marco Pinge was dead last. He was second to last and still.
• 28:45
  Shoots 12 under. And still shoots 12 under and
• 28:48
  has 24 birdies. 24 birdies. Do you know how many holes they
• 28:52
  play in four days? They play 72 holes.
• 28:59
  That's a third. He's birdie in a third of the
• 29:02
  holes and Scotty had 12 birdies, which is half.
• 29:08
  But Scotty also had a couple eagles to make up for that.
• 29:12
  I don't know you. You get sad when the NCAA term
• 29:14
  is over and I kind of feel the same way when the Masters is
• 29:19
  over. Here I'll pose one more Masters
• 29:22
  question to you. This was talked about at the
• 29:24
  Beer Nose 5O2 as we were watching the Sunday.
• 29:27
  The Sunday finale is Could a a handicap A20 handicap golfer go
• 29:33
  into the 18th hole of the Masters with a six shot lead and
• 29:38
  you've got the gallery like the patrons are there, you're on TV.
• 29:41
  And you're, you're playing from the tips, right?
• 29:43
  You're playing from the tips. You're a 20 handicap with A6
• 29:46
  shot lead. So that would mean.
• 29:50
  Could you, could you get, could you, could you bring it home?
• 29:53
  If you shoot a. So you wouldn't.
• 29:56
  Have you? Shouldn't you get a quad?
• 29:59
  Yes, you need a sextuple bogey for to tie and go to playoff.
• 30:06
  I think you do especially because like even if you spray
• 30:09
  your ball, you have ball spotters out there now, you
• 30:12
  know, you go to any of the courses that we play around
• 30:15
  here, like ULGC, Like if you hit one in the end of the tall shit
• 30:18
  at ULGC, you're looking for it yourself.
• 30:21
  You hit it tall shit at the Masters, somebody's going to
• 30:23
  find it for you. There's no water that I believe
• 30:26
  on on 18, is there? Like what?
• 30:28
  What would the hazard be? It's just it's.
• 30:30
  For you to get it's. A tight it is.
• 30:32
  Tight. It's a tight Tisha.
• 30:33
  It is a tight Tisha but I don't know if I'm taking driver.
• 30:37
  I mean I am because I don't have a choice.
• 30:40
  Yeah. But I don't think what we
• 30:42
  understand, like we play Glen Oaks and we play 17 at Glen Oaks
• 30:48
  and we're like, this is the hardest damn green that I've
• 30:52
  played. And like, I consider myself a
• 30:56
  pretty good putter. I think it's where I catch up a
• 30:59
  lot because I don't get the ball that far.
• 31:01
  Yeah, I've 4 putted on that green before.
• 31:05
  Yeah. And like playing the 18th with
• 31:09
  that on the line. But you could 4 put it as long
• 31:13
  as you get it to the green five shots.
• 31:17
  I would like to think that I could get a 10.
• 31:20
  Yeah, I'm with you. I think that you could you could
• 31:22
  bring it home. I think that the average golfer
• 31:25
  would be able to bring it home. It might be close, but I think
• 31:27
  that they could do it. But I I want to be on that green
• 31:31
  where I can 3 putt to win. Like if I have to two putt, like
• 31:38
  if I get there and I have to two putt, the first putt better be
• 31:43
  really good. The consensus going around the
• 31:45
  table yesterday was most everybody said no, that they
• 31:48
  they did not think that the 20 M handicap would hold the lead up
• 31:53
  six. I was disagreeing with him.
• 31:55
  I think that that that person would win if it was me.
• 32:00
  I would like to say I could get a 10, but also I don't hit the
• 32:04
  ball very far and from the tips, dude, I might not even get into
• 32:07
  a fairway and then you don't know what you're doing with.
• 32:10
  So like there's different elements to it.
• 32:13
  Yeah, but I would like to say that I would get a 10, all right
• 32:19
  before we close the book on the Masters.
• 32:21
  Like Scotty had to play with Ha Tong Lee on Sunday.
• 32:25
  Oh yeah. And dude goes on 12 on the back
• 32:30
  of the Amen corner, 12 and 13, dude goes triple quad.
• 32:34
  And I think those two holes took over an hour because Scott
• 32:38
  Scotty's just sitting in the fairway just waiting.
• 32:42
  Like that has to hurt your chances a little bit, right?
• 32:46
  Have to deal with that. Yeah, yeah.
• 32:49
  I mean, bro shot at 80. I mean, yeah, you go triple,
• 32:52
  triple and. Quad like he went triple quad.
• 32:57
  It was a + 5. No, he went.
• 32:58
  No, he went. No, he went five over.
• 33:01
  I don't even know. What that is, it was a what do
• 33:03
  you bet? I don't know, I.
• 33:04
  Think oh Quint A. Quint.
• 33:07
  A Quint. No, that's a A quint is A7,
• 33:09
  right? A six is a six.
• 33:12
  Well, let's. Are you talking about Spanish?
• 33:14
  No 5, I don't know, was 5. Quintuples 6.
• 33:17
  Siente is is is 7. And like a sextuple bogey would
• 33:20
  be 6. Sextuple.
• 33:23
  So I guess it's a quintuple. It's a quintuple.
• 33:25
  Bogey, I guess. A quintuple, yeah.
• 33:26
  So we went triple quintuple. And then birdie.
• 33:31
  And then a birdie. And Scotty, I just sit there and
• 33:33
  watch all this like we've played golf with, like when you play
• 33:36
  with slow guys, like I hate it. I hate it and it bothers me.
• 33:41
  But like look at like look at Hotongs front nine.
• 33:44
  He only had one par on the front 9.
• 33:46
  Everything else was a bogey or a birdie.
• 33:49
  Like no consistency no. Consistenality.
• 33:52
  They need more of him than golf because he's hilarious, but he
• 33:55
  tried to go for it on that par 513 and I think he basically
• 33:59
  shaped it straight into the water.
• 34:01
  Did. He get in the jungle, is that
• 34:02
  the hole where he was up in the jungle?
• 34:04
  Yeah, and then he hit in the water.
• 34:08
  Boy, yeah. But yeah, it was entertaining.
• 34:10
  That has to kill your momentum though, when you're playing with
• 34:13
  a guy that's doing that. He shot 4444 on the back.
• 34:18
  Does that, Does Ha Tong Lee, does that put the bow on the on
• 34:22
  the 2026 masters? Do we want to close with that?
• 34:24
  I think we'll close with that. On Friday night, the Louisville
• 34:29
  Kings hosted the Orlando Storm. A familiar foe was a quarterback
• 34:35
  for the Orlando Storm. Well, Jack Plummer.
• 34:39
  Your boy Jack Plummer, good game.
• 34:44
  We finally saw the Kings move the ball a little bit.
• 34:48
  We talked about this off air, like I don't think you're going
• 34:51
  to watch UFL if you really don't have a rooting interest.
• 34:54
  We have not watched it in the past, but now that we have a
• 34:57
  team, it's something to watch and I want them to be
• 35:00
  successful. There was another good crowd
• 35:01
  there at Lynn Family Stadium on Friday night.
• 35:05
  Got to see the the Artemis 2 land on the big screen before
• 35:09
  before they they kicked off which was kind of cool.
• 35:12
  Yeah. Jason Beam had was made some
• 35:17
  good throws down the field but they they get it threw for over
• 35:21
  300 yards. Yeah, I mean, it was entered
• 35:24
  like Beam was 352 three touchdowns, no picks.
• 35:27
  Plumber 249, three touchdowns, no picks.
• 35:30
  I mean it, it was some quality football for being, you know,
• 35:34
  kind of minor league ish. It was it was entertaining and
• 35:39
  the the Kings score. They're late in the fourth
• 35:41
  quarter. Looks like they're going to go
• 35:43
  for two to win it, to try to win it.
• 35:45
  And instead they elected throughout the the extra point
• 35:48
  unit. They tie it and then we go to
• 35:52
  overtime in the UFL. First time I've ever seen it.
• 35:57
  I'm I'm working to broadcast. I don't, I don't even know what
• 35:59
  the rules are. I just know I just this is what
• 36:03
  I know. I know we're having a one minute
• 36:05
  break between regulation and overtime and then there's no
• 36:08
  more breaks. That's all I know.
• 36:10
  Yeah. So they do a best out of three
• 36:12
  shootout style. Love it, love it.
• 36:16
  From the Five. Yeah.
• 36:18
  And then if it's side there, then they just alternate, yeah,
• 36:21
  until sudden death. We get to the sudden death.
• 36:26
  Nobody scores the the Kings almost score.
• 36:29
  Benny Snell catches it floats out of bounds.
• 36:31
  Floats out of bounds, yeah. But we get to the sudden death
• 36:35
  and the Kings have already had a holding penalty.
• 36:38
  I believe it wasn't API. They already had one defensive
• 36:41
  penalty, yes. And they don't convert
• 36:45
  offensively. So then it gets to the the Storm
• 36:50
  run a play and there's another defensive holding.
• 36:53
  I think it was again right. Yeah.
• 36:57
  And then all of a sudden I hear because I've got the headset,
• 37:00
  listen to everybody. And all of a sudden, Dean
• 37:02
  Blandino was like, that's a gang.
• 37:05
  It was like, we're all like, what?
• 37:08
  So, yeah, that's their second defensive penalty.
• 37:10
  That's how automatic scored. Game's over.
• 37:14
  And that's how the game ends on a penalty.
• 37:17
  You play all that 2727, it's exciting.
• 37:21
  People are getting into it. Fans in the crowd are booing.
• 37:25
  They don't even know what's happened because it's really it.
• 37:28
  Ends on. Nobody scores.
• 37:30
  Nobody scores and it just ends. How it doesn't make sense.
• 37:36
  I mean, like there's a lot of things that are good about the
• 37:38
  UF. What do you call it?
• 37:39
  UFLUSL what is this thing called?
• 37:41
  UFL. I love a 60 yard field goal is
• 37:45
  worth 4 points. Love that rule.
• 37:47
  Love some of the other things that they do.
• 37:49
  Love the shootout. You can't punt.
• 37:52
  Yes, once the ball cross, even if you cross it, if you
• 37:55
  backpedal. So if you get a holding penalty
• 37:58
  and it takes you, you still can't do it.
• 37:59
  Right. Love this.
• 38:00
  Once the ball crosses the 50, no matter what, you can't punt.
• 38:03
  Love that rule. And I love the overtime
• 38:06
  shootout. Love the the, the the three.
• 38:08
  It's kind of like like the soccer shootout, you know, you
• 38:10
  just get three tries. And I love that it's from the
• 38:12
  five yard line instead of like the two or whatever the normal 2
• 38:15
  point conversion because it actually makes you have to work
• 38:18
  a little bit instead of just running up tush push or
• 38:20
  something. Love all that?
• 38:22
  This push is not an eligible play in the UFL.
• 38:25
  OK, love that too. And then we get to probably the
• 38:28
  dumbest thing I've ever seen in my entire life that you can end
• 38:32
  the game when nobody scores in the first penalty.
• 38:37
  Like all right, I can understand in the same overtime if you get
• 38:39
  to back to like back-to-back penalties in the end zone or?
• 38:41
  Something the same overtime, the same possession.
• 38:44
  The same, same possession would, yeah.
• 38:46
  Like the same possession of overtime.
• 38:48
  Like if you get back-to-back penalties on that, that
• 38:51
  possession I can understand maybe like, OK, that try is good
• 38:55
  because otherwise, you know, like you could do all night.
• 38:58
  Yeah. But the fact that it happened to
• 39:00
  the Kings, they had a defensive penalty on possession #2 and
• 39:04
  then we go to a completely separate overtime, the sudden
• 39:07
  death portion, and they get another penalty which was 2
• 39:10
  possessions later and it ends the game.
• 39:13
  Makes no sense. Like you went to, you went to
• 39:17
  like double overtime basically. I think they'll adjust this
• 39:20
  rule. I do think it'll get adjusted.
• 39:22
  What what should have happened is if there was another penalty
• 39:26
  after penalty on the fourth try, then the game.
• 39:29
  Should have been like 2 penalties on the same
• 39:31
  possession. I can see.
• 39:32
  All right, the try is good, but not 2-2 penalties 2 possessions
• 39:37
  later. Like a penalty in one possession
• 39:38
  and two possessions later. No, like it doesn't.
• 39:40
  That doesn't make any sense. And then the game is just over.
• 39:44
  Like what? Dude, I'm walking out and like
• 39:47
  fans are, I'll just hear them talking.
• 39:48
  It's like what happened, like why, why did we lose?
• 39:52
  Like nobody is just and I get it, I get it.
• 39:56
  I'm on headset, listen to people and I really didn't even
• 39:58
  understand what was going on but.
• 40:04
  It's, it's dumb if, if, if you want to grow the game, you want
• 40:06
  people to, you know, attend these games and watch these
• 40:09
  games on TV. You cannot end a game with no
• 40:13
  point when nobody scores on a. Non.
• 40:15
  And they're, they're figuring this thing out.
• 40:17
  Dean, Dean Blandino's an idiot. We've known that since he's.
• 40:21
  And then he also, there was, there was a replay review, I
• 40:25
  think it was of a catch, wasn't there, that went against the
• 40:28
  Kings. What?
• 40:30
  It was a touchdown by the storm. Yes, that looked like it should
• 40:32
  not have been a title. It was an incomplete pass that
• 40:35
  Redmond challenges, and then Dean Blandino screws that one up
• 40:39
  and gives the storm a touchdown. Well, I he said it was
• 40:42
  inconclusive and. Inconclusive.
• 40:44
  It was not. I watched it, it was very
• 40:45
  conclusive. It could have been, but he's the
• 40:48
  end all be all like he, he's making the decisions.
• 40:50
  That's prob. Can I have Dean Blandino be in
• 40:53
  the end all? Be decision is what goes and
• 40:57
  look I I don't know one way or the other.
• 40:58
  He thought it was inconclusive, which I I you thought it was
• 41:01
  clearly incomplete. Like 100% without bias.
• 41:04
  Yes. But Chris Redmond felt the same
• 41:06
  way. Chris.
• 41:08
  Redmond was right. But see, the issue was that they
• 41:12
  told him like, it's already been reviewed and he's like, well,
• 41:15
  look at it, it's it's incomplete.
• 41:17
  It was like, well, it's already been reviewed and he's like,
• 41:19
  well, look at it. And then he threw the flag
• 41:21
  anyways, which had no chance of getting.
• 41:22
  Rid, because all you had to do was look at Dean Bland.
• 41:24
  What is Dean Blandino looking at?
• 41:26
  Is he watching the wrong game? Is he sleeping?
• 41:29
  Is he? Drunk.
• 41:30
  What's wrong with Dean Blandino? For TV, so there's only one game
• 41:34
  at a time. Dean Blandino comes up with
• 41:36
  stupid, stupid overtime. I don't think he came.
• 41:39
  Up with the rules himself with stupid overtime penalty rules
• 41:42
  and he can't see a replay review to save his ass.
• 41:45
  No, Dean Blandino, get him out. Get him out.
• 41:49
  Brew Place. If we need to bring in Gene.
• 41:51
  Where's Gene? Let's get Gene in here.
• 41:53
  Well, I. Don't like Ferreira, Carl
• 41:57
  Stable, Mike Pereira? Those are Fox guys.
• 41:59
  I don't think those are Fox guys.
• 42:01
  Give him, offer him some more money, make him a Fox guy.
• 42:03
  Get Mike Pereira. Mike Pereira used to be a Fox
• 42:05
  guy. Is he not a Fox guy anymore?
• 42:07
  I don't know. I think he is a Fox guy.
• 42:11
  The bottom line is. Gene will get his index card out
• 42:13
  and he'll get the call, right? That's what we need.
• 42:15
  We need Gene. It's just it's a tough beat to
• 42:18
  end the game on a penalty. It's a stupid beat, it's a
• 42:21
  stupid rule, it's a stupid game. I was nervous.
• 42:25
  I got first Kings game. I'm.
• 42:26
  Actually mad. I was so mad.
• 42:30
  I don't even care, but I was so mad.
• 42:32
  I was like, this is no way. I mean, I invested my two hours
• 42:35
  of time in Beerno's Five O 2 watching this thing and then all
• 42:39
  of a sudden it just ends. And you had no idea that a
• 42:42
  penalty would end it. No.
• 42:44
  I didn't. Because they talked about it.
• 42:46
  I did Because they talked about it on the broadcast of how it.
• 42:48
  Well, they did talk about it. Yeah, they, they made it known
• 42:51
  that like, and I thought it was stupid at the time.
• 42:53
  And then when it actually happens, I really thought it was
• 42:55
  stupid. But they they did a good job on
• 42:58
  the broadcast of explain it. But we had Dean.
• 43:01
  We had Dean on the broadcast. Well, yeah.
• 43:03
  He's on all the broadcasts on Fox.
• 43:08
  Their next home game's on Thirby Thirby night.
• 43:12
  It's gonna be a tough crowd there.
• 43:14
  We'll, we'll see. I don't I it might be tough to
• 43:17
  get people to come out there. Why wouldn't they put them on
• 43:20
  the road that week? I don't know.
• 43:24
  Like who does the scheduling? Does Dean do the scheduling?
• 43:26
  But Dean does the scheduling. Like, hey, what's with the
• 43:29
  Louisville Kings at home during the three day 2 days leading up
• 43:32
  to Derby? I mean, it's not like it's oak
• 43:34
  night or it's a dirty day. Thirby is a it's a popular
• 43:39
  events around here. People are going to the you're
• 43:41
  not doing both. You're not doing both.
• 43:42
  We've been priced out of Thirby, but now we're going to five O
• 43:45
  Tuesday. We have this tradition.
• 43:47
  We go to Thirby every year and now we've been priced out.
• 43:50
  We're going to five O Tuesday. Probably spending you're
• 43:52
  spending more money on Five O Tuesday than you did at Thirby.
• 43:56
  Before you know we could, we'll be going three weeks before
• 44:01
  because we came to be on 45-O Tuesday.
• 44:03
  You're spending more money on your five O Tuesday ticket
• 44:06
  because you wanted the free beer and free food or the inclusive
• 44:09
  food in in in beard. Well, I don't care about you go
• 44:11
  to therapy for cheaper. You go therapy I don't care
• 44:13
  about. I don't care about the food.
• 44:15
  So you saw the booze? Yeah, I mean, I'll maybe we'll
• 44:19
  eat, I don't know. But would the rest of the people
• 44:24
  at the bar watching the game too?
• 44:26
  Yeah, people were openly cheering for the kings.
• 44:28
  It was kind of fun. Well, get out to a game.
• 44:31
  It's it's a. I'm boycott until Dean
• 44:34
  Blandino's removed from his position.
• 44:36
  I'm not supporting this league. Just only watch the ESPN games
• 44:40
  because I don't think Dean's on those.
• 44:42
  But it so who makes the calls on the ESPN games?
• 44:46
  I haven't seen a a Dean. I just said he's.
• 44:50
  I don't think he is. I think he's a fox guy, but.
• 44:52
  So he's the end all be all on Fox, broadcast on Yeah.
• 44:55
  Can we? Their unis are kind of tight.
• 44:58
  Yeah, I like. Like I kind of like the dark
• 45:01
  green with the neon numbers. You like the you like the
• 45:03
  different colored greens in there?
• 45:05
  Yeah, I'll do. I do like them.
• 45:07
  I think they're pretty clean. OK.
• 45:10
  And I like to play on the kings with the king, with King Louis
• 45:12
  the 16th. I like to play on the name.
• 45:14
  I think it's, I think they did a good job with it all.
• 45:16
  And you know, horse racing is the sport of kings.
• 45:19
  Yeah, I like it. I hope it works.
• 45:21
  Mike Propoli was there on on Friday night.
• 45:25
  Oh that's good then. I hope you heard all the boos of
• 45:27
  all the fans that were pissed off.
• 45:30
  He did, he definitely did, and I think it might be a reason why
• 45:34
  that rule gets not changed completely, but adjusted.
• 45:37
  It needs to be adjusted. Also, what's the big deal to
• 45:41
  just play another possession, Play another play, Just play
• 45:45
  another play? So how bad is it that there was
• 45:48
  7 possessions from the five yard line and nobody could score?
• 45:51
  Well, and that's another thing too, like are like, this is a
• 45:54
  minor league. Are these guys?
• 45:56
  Is it from 5 yards like in the NFLI?
• 45:59
  Don't think that would be a problem but and really only one
• 46:03
  of them was close. But if you haven't been out to a
• 46:08
  Kings game I recommend it. Been good, good crowds the last
• 46:12
  two times. Weather was a lot better on on
• 46:14
  Friday but there was a little rain before which I think maybe
• 46:17
  scared some people away but it was still a really good crowd.
• 46:21
  The Reds wore their city connects this their new city
• 46:24
  connects this weekend. The Braves wore their city
• 46:27
  connects all three days with the Reds just wore them on Saturday
• 46:31
  and they wore their black, their old city connects on Friday.
• 46:35
  Overall, there were eight city connects that have been debuted
• 46:41
  over the last weekend. I want, I want to go through all
• 46:45
  these and I want you to give them either an A/B ACAD or an F.
• 46:53
  OK. I mean, I could rank, I could
• 46:54
  probably just real quickly easily rank them one through 8
• 46:57
  if you want me to. But I'll, I'll do the grades.
• 46:59
  Would you rather do that? No, we could do the grade.
• 47:01
  I mean whatever you want to do. The Atlanta Braves are rocking a
• 47:05
  powder blue uniform that was inspired by their 1980s
• 47:09
  uniforms. Got a little red piping?
• 47:13
  Updated Atlanta script, The ATL block, which is the Otbs.
• 47:16
  That's what that is designed after.
• 47:20
  OK. I I'm going to let you grade it
• 47:25
  because I really I'll. Give it AB minus, I'll give it
• 47:28
  AB minus. I don't hate it.
• 47:29
  That is low. That is an A uniform.
• 47:32
  That's not an A uniform. Yes, it is.
• 47:34
  It's not, it's not a, it's AB minus it's, it's, it's too
• 47:38
  similar to like what they've already had.
• 47:41
  It's an inspiration from that. I understand that, but it's
• 47:45
  just, it's to me, it's also kind of plain, kind of plain.
• 47:48
  I love them, I love them. I give them an A Baltimore
• 47:55
  Orioles. They threw theirs way back to
• 47:57
  the 1890s Baltimore baseball club for inspiration for the old
• 48:02
  school bee on the cap and the uniform design pays tribute to
• 48:07
  Camden Yards. They have a bee more across the
• 48:11
  chest with a little bird on top of the R green sleeves.
• 48:17
  Little what? Orange piping?
• 48:20
  Yeah. What?
• 48:20
  What you given What you given the Baltimore.
• 48:22
  Look, I'm giving ADI hate to be more.
• 48:26
  I just hate to be more like what?
• 48:28
  Get out here, be more, be more creative, That's what.
• 48:31
  Be more creative. Sort of be more.
• 48:34
  That's the most creative you've ever been on this show?
• 48:37
  Get out here with that. I hate to be more.
• 48:40
  I hate to be more as well like you take that B off and replace
• 48:44
  with an S. It looks like they're about to
• 48:46
  eat some s'mores. Get a little marshmallow instead
• 48:49
  of a bird. Get a little.
• 48:50
  I don't like the colors. I hate colors, yeah.
• 48:54
  I don't like the font of the numbers.
• 48:57
  I don't really love the logo, the hat, I'm would you give it?
• 49:01
  AD. I'm going FI hate it.
• 49:03
  OK. There's nothing about it.
• 49:05
  I like the Reds. They've wore their Black City
• 49:12
  connects. What, the last couple years?
• 49:14
  Yeah. And they've still got that same
• 49:17
  C logo that they utilized on those.
• 49:20
  It doesn't have the Sensi across the chest now.
• 49:22
  It just has the Sensi logo, the C logo with the number.
• 49:26
  Yeah. All red red pants too.
• 49:31
  Black pinstripe. Black pinstripe, where you going
• 49:34
  on these? I didn't really love the the the
• 49:37
  red pants, the red on red, the jersey itself, the actual like
• 49:42
  red's jersey. I actually think it's really
• 49:44
  good looking. I mean, they haven't had a red
• 49:46
  jersey besides their spring training looking things, their
• 49:51
  spring training looking Reds, ones that they wear on Sundays,
• 49:53
  which are they suck. So this one is definitely far
• 49:56
  better than that. So I'm going I'm going to go a
• 49:59
  minus on this one for the Reds. I like the black pinstripe look
• 50:02
  too. I like them.
• 50:04
  I'm going to go BI like I like the black ones better.
• 50:13
  You like the black? I do like the black.
• 50:15
  It's close. I don't know.
• 50:17
  I bought the I have the black one and I've already gone and
• 50:21
  and placed my order with Ming Ling and Jenny for the red one
• 50:25
  that'll be arriving to my house here hopefully in about two
• 50:27
  weeks. But best jerseyoutlets.com.
• 50:31
  With two s s. With two S it changes all the
• 50:34
  time, so. So we'll see.
• 50:38
  We'll see if it gets, if it gets, if it gets through the
• 50:40
  Strait of Hormuz, then maybe it'll arrive to my house in two
• 50:43
  weeks, but I don't know. I'm not.
• 50:45
  I'm not holding my breath on it. We'll see.
• 50:48
  So do you like the red better than the black or you like the
• 50:49
  black better? I just I like them both to say
• 50:52
  actually I did say I just like the black 1A little better, but
• 50:56
  the the black pinstripe is pretty sweet.
• 50:58
  I might actually like the red now I'm looking at it more.
• 51:00
  I might like the red one a little bit better.
• 51:02
  I love them both though. It's.
• 51:03
  It's it's new, it's shinier. The Royals are rocking their
• 51:09
  official City of Fountains logo, inspired by a fuchsia blue
• 51:13
  gradient that highlights Kansas City's iconic waterways.
• 51:17
  And a new twist on the R logo pays homage to the team's
• 51:21
  original 1969 mark. What you giving the Royals?
• 51:32
  I like the hat. I do like the hat.
• 51:36
  It's, it's OK. It's just it's not flashy.
• 51:39
  It's I'll give it AC plus. Yeah, I, it, it wasn't getting
• 51:45
  higher than AC for me. Yeah, I, I do, I, I think
• 51:49
  they're clean. Like, I don't hate them.
• 51:53
  I don't love the logo. I don't love the gradient.
• 51:57
  I like the hat logo though. I do like.
• 51:59
  That I don't love it. I don't love it.
• 52:00
  Like if I don't, if I'm a Royals fan, I don't want to buy that.
• 52:03
  OK. I I'm going C minus.
• 52:06
  The more I look at it, the the less I like it.
• 52:08
  I like their other city connect with the KC with the fountain
• 52:12
  like the KC looking like the fountain.
• 52:15
  I like that more than than these.
• 52:17
  The Brewers honoring the Brew Cruise Rd.
• 52:20
  Not just as Milwaukee's team, but as Wisconsin's team.
• 52:23
  A water toned base and cream accent evoked the Badger States
• 52:28
  lakes, shores and Bluffs, and the gradient word mark is
• 52:32
  inspired by the state's beautiful summer sunsets, the
• 52:35
  whisco lettering on the chest, the state motto on the collar,
• 52:38
  and a redesigned barrelman sleeve patch.
• 52:42
  What do you think about the Brew Cruise?
• 52:45
  It's absolutely trash. F -, F my about as low of a
• 52:50
  grade as you can give this piece of junk.
• 52:52
  It looks like a minor League Baseball team from like some
• 52:55
  podunk town of you know where. I mean, when I look at it, I'll
• 52:59
  see Frisco. Dig, dig.
• 53:01
  Yes, First of all, we're calling ourselves Wisco.
• 53:04
  I've never. And look, I I don't live in
• 53:06
  Wisconsin. I've never heard Wisconsin.
• 53:08
  Never heard of it. Never heard of it called Wisco.
• 53:10
  It looks awful. There's not even any cool logo
• 53:12
  on it or anything. It just says WISCO it is.
• 53:15
  That cool logo on the sleeve? The.
• 53:17
  Barrel man. It's supposed to be the barrel
• 53:19
  man or? Something.
• 53:20
  I haven't seen the sleeve but the front of the front of it
• 53:22
  looks like trash. The hat is trash.
• 53:25
  Wisco, get out of here. F minus.
• 53:27
  See. I don't like this one, but it's
• 53:29
  not as bad as Baltimore. No, Baltimore's better
• 53:33
  Baltimore. 'S better.
• 53:34
  I'll go I'm going I'll go D on this one.
• 53:39
  The Pirates The pirate style word mark on the chest draws
• 53:42
  inspiration from the city's three sister bridges across the
• 53:46
  Allegheny River, while red accents and Jolly Roger elements
• 53:50
  bring a splash of color to the black and gold backbone that is
• 53:53
  elemental to a Pittsburgh sports tradition.
• 53:55
  What you got? I'll give it an AI.
• 53:58
  Love them. I actually I love the the I love
• 54:00
  the font on them. They stayed true to their black
• 54:02
  and gold color scheme. Love the hat with the with the
• 54:05
  pirate. What are they?
• 54:06
  I'm sure they have a name for their pirate, but Pirate Pete or
• 54:09
  whatever his name is on the hat looks great.
• 54:13
  Yeah, I'm going a, I'm going a on this one.
• 54:16
  I go B plus I like them. Yeah, I don't love the mustard
• 54:21
  hat. I think that's the only thing
• 54:23
  that's keeping it from being A. Like I don't want to rock a
• 54:25
  mustard hat. I'd rather you want rock a
• 54:28
  mustard hat than a mustard jersey though.
• 54:30
  I agree. And it's.
• 54:32
  Just like when your colors are black and gold, it just makes it
• 54:34
  tough. But you do.
• 54:37
  Like back in the 70s when the Pirates wore the the all gold,
• 54:41
  like, they had the gold jerseys and the golds pinstripe hats.
• 54:44
  Yeah. Like, I don't know if it's just
• 54:45
  because they're iconic, but I mean, I wouldn't wear them.
• 54:48
  But the Padres celebrate in San Diego's by national culture with
• 54:53
  a focus on Dia de Los Muertos. The design features a chest word
• 54:58
  mark reflective of a sunset LA Katrina sleeve patch.
• 55:02
  Very gold pattern trim, bone collared bone colored hat and
• 55:07
  pants and a nod to Mexican folklore.
• 55:09
  Yeah. The Padres team that went to the
• 55:12
  World Series in 98. These might be my favorite
• 55:16
  actually. These actually probably are my
• 55:18
  favorite. I'm going to a on these.
• 55:20
  Love the the the white, the bone color hat.
• 55:23
  Love the color scheme like the the the Navy ish blue with the
• 55:26
  orange, kind of like you said, like the late 90s.
• 55:29
  Mind you, Tony Gwynn, the team that went to that World Series.
• 55:33
  Yeah, love the love the colors. That's well, that all runs
• 55:37
  together. Well, give me that one.
• 55:38
  That's an A that's an. AII think I'm going B on these.
• 55:42
  I love the patch on the sleeve. I I do like the hat.
• 55:47
  I think the reason I'm it's kind of Astro Y to me on the the
• 55:51
  piping, like with all there's all the how do you explain that?
• 55:56
  The 1:00 where they're famous ones or everybody copies the
• 55:59
  rainbow. Looking one.
• 56:00
  Yeah, the rainbow look, it kind of reminds me of that, but I
• 56:03
  like them overall. I like the Flont.
• 56:06
  I love the font of the San Diego font.
• 56:09
  I'll give them AB and then the final one.
• 56:12
  The Rangers also celebrate Mexican heritage near the border
• 56:16
  with red anchors and a Tejas word mark across the chest, as
• 56:20
  well as a Charo embossed belt and Mariacha inspired fill
• 56:24
  patterns. What you got?
• 56:28
  F it just wasn't doesn't look like much was put into it.
• 56:31
  They just changed Texas to Tejas and it's just a plain red
• 56:34
  jersey. No creativity on it.
• 56:36
  The the Texas, the hat, the Hatch just red with the normal
• 56:39
  Ranger T. It looks like it just not very
• 56:43
  creative to me. I don't know.
• 56:45
  It just looks plain. I'm off it.
• 56:47
  F minor like I could have like I could have done this in caution
• 56:53
  on Photoshop. Yeah, like it's blue.
• 56:56
  Color it's 1. Color.
• 56:58
  It's all one. Color.
• 56:58
  All I have to do is go into Photoshop, take your what you
• 57:02
  wear now, paint, paint, bucket everything red.
• 57:06
  Yeah. Cut the X out to take AJ and
• 57:10
  I've made your uniform in 5 minutes.
• 57:12
  That's exactly what it looks like.
• 57:13
  You're right. I've made your uniform in 5
• 57:16
  minutes. If it wasn't for stupid wisco
• 57:19
  they would be the worst, but I I still can't get over the wisco.
• 57:22
  But both of those are FS terrible.
• 57:27
  Terribly uniform. So overall, your favorite is the
• 57:30
  Padres. Yeah.
• 57:33
  And I'm biased, but mine is the Braves.
• 57:35
  Did the Braves do that? Good looking uniforms?
• 57:40
  I would put the Braves at 4th overall.
• 57:42
  I'd go Pirate. I'm going Padres, Pirates, Reds,
• 57:46
  Braves, Royals, Orioles, Rangers and Wisco.
• 57:53
  You're going Wisco below the Rangers.
• 57:56
  Wow. Wow, you really hate those
• 57:59
  Wisconsin the Brewers. Not calling anybody Wisco.
• 58:02
  This is ridiculous. No, we're getting close to the
• 58:09
  NBA playoffs. I, I've talked to you about it.
• 58:11
  I think I've watched fewer NBA games than probably I have in my
• 58:14
  entire life. Same.
• 58:16
  Now we'll watch it now that we're in the playoffs.
• 58:19
  Yeah. But a big reason why we're not
• 58:24
  watching is because the stars don't always play like
• 58:30
  ABCESPNNBC. They pay all this money for
• 58:33
  these, these games, right? And they put the percentages of
• 58:38
  like how many times like everybody plays and like ABC is
• 58:42
  like 43%, ESP NS 29%, NB CS 34% like these are all way less than
• 58:49
  50%. So your your stars are rarely
• 58:52
  playing, which is a problem. And then they institute this
• 58:56
  rule where you got to play 65 games in a season to be eligible
• 59:00
  for postseason awards, which eliminates Luka Doncic, Kate
• 59:07
  Cunningham, Devin Booker, LeBron James and I can go on and on.
• 59:13
  So what's the Bristol? There's what, 8080 NBA games?
• 59:17
  Is that right 80? Two games.
• 59:18
  So what is that about 75%? So the the thing with the 65
• 59:24
  game rule is, like I said, Luke is ineligible, Kate Cunningham,
• 59:29
  Devin Booker, but Victor Wimbiata is eligible.
• 59:34
  Luka Doncic has played 2289 minutes.
• 59:39
  Kate Cunningham has played 2172 minutes.
• 59:42
  Devin Booker has played 2146 minutes.
• 59:46
  Victor Buenbiata has played 1866 minutes.
• 59:50
  So he's played, what, 300 less minutes than Luka Doncic?
• 59:54
  More than that, But he's eligible because he hit the 65,
• 59:58
  the 65 game mark. Is he like playing though?
• 1:00:00
  Like a minute a game sometimes? Like what?
• 1:00:01
  How's that possible? I think he plays a lot of games
• 1:00:04
  where he comes out in the second-half.
• 1:00:06
  I don't know the NB as got it. They got a problem.
• 1:00:10
  They don't I mean they they they've got the tanking issue is
• 1:00:13
  a problem. I don't hate the rule.
• 1:00:15
  I'm actually, the more I think about it, I kind of like the
• 1:00:18
  game rule instead of the minute rule because like if you want
• 1:00:21
  fans to show up to games, you, you want your stars to play in
• 1:00:23
  every game, even if they're playing a half a game or
• 1:00:26
  whatever it is, even if they're not playing the full 48 minutes,
• 1:00:30
  at least they're playing. So if you want to sell tickets,
• 1:00:32
  you need your stars playing. So the number of games actually
• 1:00:34
  to me kind of does make more sense.
• 1:00:38
  I don't hate the rule. I mean, it makes a lot of sense
• 1:00:40
  to me. But did you just hear the
• 1:00:45
  numbers like the the minutes should matter too.
• 1:00:47
  Minutes should. Like what?
• 1:00:49
  There shouldn't be a minimum. Like if you play 65 games, like
• 1:00:53
  Luca legitimately had a hamstring injury and he's been,
• 1:00:57
  he's leading the league in scoring, but he's ineligible
• 1:01:00
  because he didn't hit 65. He doesn't make it.
• 1:01:02
  It makes no sense. Like he actually was hurt.
• 1:01:06
  Well, tell them to apply for a waiver.
• 1:01:08
  Tell them to apply for an MVP waiver.
• 1:01:09
  Let it go. And I don't care who wins the
• 1:01:11
  MVP. It affects me zero.
• 1:01:13
  I could care less, but it's a dumb rule.
• 1:01:16
  It's a dumb rule. It's not as dumb as you make it
• 1:01:18
  seem like risers. You want games to show up.
• 1:01:21
  You want like you just said, you it's the fewest, the least
• 1:01:23
  amount of games you've probably watched.
• 1:01:26
  I I guarantee you the attendance.
• 1:01:27
  I mean, I don't know for sure, but I'm almost willing to bet
• 1:01:30
  the attendance is probably down. Yeah, I don't know, but I would
• 1:01:34
  imagine it is too. Like you, you can't.
• 1:01:37
  Your stars have to play. Their stars have to play.
• 1:01:40
  But if they're not playing then they shouldn't be eligible for
• 1:01:43
  awards. I mean 75% of your games you
• 1:01:47
  should be able to make that unless you're like you're legit
• 1:01:49
  hurt hurt. Can we also talk about how
• 1:01:51
  stupid this play in game stuff is that they've been doing for
• 1:01:57
  several years now and it's the Miami Heat Fest Like it's the
• 1:02:00
  Miami Heat annual game because they're in it every single year,
• 1:02:03
  thankfully. The Hornets.
• 1:02:05
  They're not playing the Bulls this year because it's normally
• 1:02:07
  the Heat in the Bulls. I think the Hornets have been in
• 1:02:09
  it multiple times as well. The Golden State Warriors are
• 1:02:13
  are in the playoffs. In the playing game, they are 8
• 1:02:17
  games under 500 and a good. They've dealt with injuries too,
• 1:02:23
  but the playing game is stupid. It's multiple, so it's what the
• 1:02:28
  nine seat plays the 10. Loser goes home, winner goes to
• 1:02:32
  another playing game to play the loser of the seven versus 8.
• 1:02:36
  Yeah, may have one playing game. You don't need 3.
• 1:02:41
  Or have 0. Or 0I.
• 1:02:43
  Just have just. Have What was the point?
• 1:02:45
  Why did it? Why did we go to this?
• 1:02:46
  Why did we do this? Another TV game, Base baseball
• 1:02:49
  did it. So the NBA was like, we're going
• 1:02:51
  to do it. Baseball didn't do it.
• 1:02:54
  They just have they have a wild card round.
• 1:02:55
  It's the best. They did with that stupid one
• 1:02:57
  game wild card forever. Yeah, but they did away with
• 1:02:59
  that. Well, they're trying to
• 1:03:01
  replicate it. They thought they loved it.
• 1:03:03
  They thought it was a great idea.
• 1:03:05
  They did away with that though, yeah.
• 1:03:07
  Because it was ignorant. It was ignorant.
• 1:03:09
  I agree it was ignorant. Like, there was one year where
• 1:03:11
  the Braves were like 10 games, clear the Cardinals for the
• 1:03:14
  final spot, and then all of a sudden you get a super turbo
• 1:03:18
  boost and now you're tied and you just got to beat them one
• 1:03:20
  game. Yeah.
• 1:03:22
  Wait. Was that the info fly rule?
• 1:03:24
  Yeah, and then they had info Fly called the outfield.
• 1:03:28
  It's the stupidest thing ever. It is dumb.
• 1:03:34
  I, I don't know, will I watch more NBA playoffs?
• 1:03:38
  But I'll probably TuneIn if it's close at the end, I'll probably
• 1:03:42
  watch it. That's not.
• 1:03:45
  I mean, I was way more interested last year because the
• 1:03:47
  Pacers were on a roll. Well, they ain't on a roll this
• 1:03:49
  year. Yeah, the NBA does have a
• 1:03:53
  problem and I don't know what the solution is, but they got
• 1:03:55
  they got a problem. I do think people will TuneIn
• 1:03:57
  for the playoffs, but the the regular season has just.
• 1:04:02
  Go in the season. I think they should.
• 1:04:07
  Like we don't need, we don't need Eastern and Western
• 1:04:10
  Conference teams playing each other twice.
• 1:04:13
  Just flip flop. Like if the Bulls play the
• 1:04:16
  Lakers in LA. Like if the Bulls play the
• 1:04:17
  Lakers in LA one season then. And this is in all sports, then
• 1:04:24
  your records just become everything gets messed up.
• 1:04:29
  And, and maybe that's not that big a deal to some people, but
• 1:04:32
  to some people it is like they've talked about baseball
• 1:04:35
  reducing games and then it's just there's a lot of history to
• 1:04:39
  these sports and they've always been played with the 162 and
• 1:04:42
  with 82 games. So what was the difference in
• 1:04:45
  the 90s and compared to today when the NBA was at an all time
• 1:04:48
  high I feel like. Michael Jordan.
• 1:04:53
  Yeah, but like LeBron James is just as popular as Michael
• 1:04:56
  Jordan, They also. They weren't taking off games
• 1:04:59
  because they're tired. So that's what the root of the
• 1:05:02
  issue is, is they're soft. I think a lot of it is, yeah.
• 1:05:05
  Have you been asked Charles Barkley on their NBA pregame?
• 1:05:09
  Yeah, that's what he would tell you.
• 1:05:10
  They're soft. And look, you get paid a lot of
• 1:05:14
  money to play ball, so you should play.
• 1:05:19
  Now look, if you're up 30 points in the fourth quarter, do I
• 1:05:22
  expect you to stay in the whole game?
• 1:05:24
  No. But you should play a good 20-30
• 1:05:27
  minutes, like a lot. Those the seats are not cheap.
• 1:05:32
  They're coming to see you. I gave you those percentages,
• 1:05:34
  like a percentage of all the stars playing in games is almost
• 1:05:38
  all, they're all below 50%. So you buy a ticket, there's a
• 1:05:42
  very good chance that one of the stars that you're going to watch
• 1:05:45
  is not going to be suited up and that's a huge problem.
• 1:05:48
  Yeah, and people are going to stop, stop buying tickets and
• 1:05:50
  they're still stop going. Like it's more it's and it's
• 1:05:53
  like, I don't feel like it's a problem in baseball and baseball
• 1:05:56
  plays double the games. So pay these guys by the game,
• 1:06:02
  cut into their salary, their yearly salary.
• 1:06:05
  You shouldn't have to do that. You should feel an obligation to
• 1:06:08
  play. I agree with you, but like you
• 1:06:10
  got to somehow force these guys to because they're soft, they're
• 1:06:12
  mentally, they're soft, got to force these guys to play.
• 1:06:16
  I don't know why you going to do it.
• 1:06:18
  Well, that's what they try to do. 65 game rule.
• 1:06:22
  But nobody cares. Nobody.
• 1:06:24
  Cares. Nobody cares.
• 1:06:25
  Nobody cares about being second team all NBA or.
• 1:06:28
  It's also a stupid stupid. Rule too.
• 1:06:29
  Oh. But it's got I missed like in
• 1:06:33
  the NBA and look, if the Bulls were good, I'd probably still be
• 1:06:35
  watching it. But they suck and they traded
• 1:06:37
  every player they have and I'm glad because I don't.
• 1:06:40
  I'm sick of watching them playing the playing game and
• 1:06:42
  losing to the Heat every single year.
• 1:06:45
  Hey, and look, it's the Blazers make the.
• 1:06:47
  So the Blazers right now are the eighth seed on the West Side.
• 1:06:50
  If they figure out a way to get in, even though they're 8 should
• 1:06:53
  already be in. If they figure out a way to get
• 1:06:56
  in, then the Bulls get their draft pick.
• 1:06:58
  So let's go Blazers. Joe gave us a What would Joe do?
• 1:07:02
  He did, yeah, Yeah. We're going to close the show on
• 1:07:07
  this, OK? You know, without college
• 1:07:10
  football, without NFL, without college basketball is 8 dude,
• 1:07:13
  how long is our show? Is it going to be like 20
• 1:07:14
  minutes late? I mean, we're.
• 1:07:15
  Already over an hour, so we're at an hour now.
• 1:07:17
  How are we going to have someone to talk about?
• 1:07:19
  Yeah. But we we doing alright.
• 1:07:23
  All right, here's your here's your what would Joe do?
• 1:07:25
  Never play sports again, which for some reason in parentheses
• 1:07:29
  it says golf and pickleball included.
• 1:07:31
  I would assume they are sports that they would be included or
• 1:07:36
  never drink alcohol again. What are you picking?
• 1:07:39
  Yeah, to me, this is an easy one.
• 1:07:41
  It sucks, but it's an easy one because I love both things.
• 1:07:44
  I mean, I don't get me wrong, I love a nice cold Coors Light or
• 1:07:47
  a little bourbon on the rocks or, you know, sipping on a La La
• 1:07:49
  la gin and tonic in the summertime by the pool.
• 1:07:54
  But I'm not giving up sports. Like if you give up the booze
• 1:07:57
  before you give up physical activity mainly because of your
• 1:08:00
  own personal health and you want to live longer.
• 1:08:02
  But also I would rather play golf then suck down a Coors
• 1:08:08
  Light even though they go hand in hand.
• 1:08:10
  But you got to, you got to stay active.
• 1:08:13
  You got to play sports, I mean. I I can't go against you.
• 1:08:19
  And look, I love, I love a beer just as much as you do, but I
• 1:08:26
  just look at the benefits of this dude.
• 1:08:30
  I would be healthy, yeah, like super, super healthy if this
• 1:08:35
  was, if this was the case. And if I went the other way, I
• 1:08:39
  would be so not healthy if I had no physical activity because
• 1:08:45
  like, like I'll do my little 30 minute exercise, but I need more
• 1:08:51
  than that. And to do that, I need something
• 1:08:55
  to play, something to motivate me because I'm not just going to
• 1:08:59
  go start hiking. It's not going to happen.
• 1:09:04
  I'm not going to go start running minis.
• 1:09:07
  That ain't happening. So as hard as it would be to
• 1:09:10
  give up, the Bud Lights, stay right.
• 1:09:16
  It's the right answer. It is the right answer and
• 1:09:19
  honestly, if you're picking the never play sports again, I'm
• 1:09:23
  worried about you. Yeah, I'm going to be a little
• 1:09:28
  concerned as well. But I mean, there's times where
• 1:09:33
  I don't have a drink and I'm. Off for 2/2.
• 1:09:35
  Weeks and I'm like, damn, I feel pretty good.
• 1:09:38
  There are, you know. But there are people out there
• 1:09:40
  that don't enjoy sports, that don't play golf, and they enjoy
• 1:09:44
  other hobbies. And, you know, they might suck
• 1:09:46
  down a couple Coors lights and they're not giving up.
• 1:09:48
  They're not giving that up. So I can see there being some
• 1:09:51
  people that they go the other way, but I'm not one of those
• 1:09:56
  people. I want to try to argue with you
• 1:09:58
  on these, but I I I can't argue. That's this one.
• 1:10:02
  What? Luckily, we live in a world
• 1:10:04
  where we don't have to make those choices.
• 1:10:06
  But in the West with Joe World, sometimes you gotta make tough
• 1:10:09
  choices. And luckily it's it's a fake
• 1:10:11
  world. We can still enjoy our Coors
• 1:10:13
  Lights and play golf at the same time.
• 1:10:17
  And let me tell you one of the bigger joys in life.
• 1:10:20
  It's a great combo. Let's start off a little
• 1:10:23
  transfusion, yes, Then get it rolling and then, yeah.
• 1:10:31
  I mean, how many, how many shows have we done?
• 1:10:33
  This is 40 bro. So in the 40 shows, and it's
• 1:10:36
  always a common question in a good debate, have we ever ranked
• 1:10:40
  the type of did we ever do a rank the type of beers, like a
• 1:10:45
  golf course beer, a lake beer? We're already at 1:12, we
• 1:10:48
  probably can save it for another.
• 1:10:49
  Show, I'm not saying we're doing it today, but I didn't remember
• 1:10:51
  if we've ever done that because we were talking.
• 1:10:52
  I don't think we have done it. We we also were going to rank
• 1:10:55
  Girl Scout cookies and need them live on the show.
• 1:10:57
  We never did that. Yeah, about that one.
• 1:11:03
  Yeah, my niece was eating some Thin Mints yesterday.
• 1:11:05
  I was like, it made me think about it.
• 1:11:06
  I was. Like I love a good Thin Mint.
• 1:11:08
  Big Thin Mint fan. Put them in a freezer.
• 1:11:11
  It's where they are right now. Put them in a freezer.
• 1:11:13
  Exactly where they are right now.
• 1:11:15
  But now it was Yep. And then good night at the LNN
• 1:11:22
  Federal Credit Union Stadium on Saturday night for the Zac
• 1:11:24
  Bryant concert and. That was blast.
• 1:11:26
  Dude, let me tell you last That place was good.
• 1:11:31
  That crowd was really good. Rocking.
• 1:11:34
  And. He puts on a good show.
• 1:11:38
  I'm not the hugest, like I know some of his songs, but I don't
• 1:11:40
  know all of them. But it was it was a good show.
• 1:11:43
  Yeah, I'm a huge fan. Yeah.
• 1:11:45
  It was a good show you. Know who didn't show up?
• 1:11:47
  You know who didn't show up? Who was that?
• 1:11:50
  Carl. Well, he's like to explain it.
• 1:11:54
  What a terrible life, the guy. He's not even on his radar.
• 1:11:58
  Like I exited him. I was like, I thought he was
• 1:12:00
  already going. He was going.
• 1:12:02
  He he always goes to Zach Bryant.
• 1:12:04
  Yes. So I when I decided to go
• 1:12:07
  because there were $50 tickets, I'm like, bro, you already
• 1:12:10
  going? He's like, Nah.
• 1:12:11
  I was like, oh, I can get $50 tickets.
• 1:12:12
  It's not even on my radar. I was like, dude, I don't even.
• 1:12:16
  In his Camry was out of town. He was solo coral, he could go
• 1:12:19
  I. Just don't even understand it.
• 1:12:23
  And then Juice did the same damn thing.
• 1:12:25
  I have no interest, none interest, 0 interest two days
• 1:12:29
  later after the sale is over. Can I still get those tickets?
• 1:12:33
  He was busy making an 8 hour crock pot.
• 1:12:36
  Ham and apples or something. Pork and apples.
• 1:12:39
  Also, I have a hard enough time understanding my life, I need to
• 1:12:42
  quit trying to understand others because I'm never going to
• 1:12:45
  figure it out. Good luck trying to figure those
• 1:12:47
  two lives out because they don't really make any sense at
• 1:12:49
  sometimes. What are we going to talk about
• 1:12:51
  next week? We don't have Masters.
• 1:12:52
  We got we got the RBC Heritage. We do.
• 1:12:57
  No, we got the NBA playoffs will be in full swing.
• 1:13:00
  How are you? We're experts on the NBA.
• 1:13:04
  How are how are your table based since you're now a reborn hockey
• 1:13:06
  fan after the Olympics? How's the table Bay Lightning
• 1:13:09
  doing? Well, our record since I became
• 1:13:10
  a full-fledged fan has not been great.
• 1:13:13
  The playoffs are coming up for hockey.
• 1:13:14
  I think that starts this week. Yeah, we still got a chance to
• 1:13:17
  be the the one seed. OK.
• 1:13:22
  They're like 2 points out of first, so they probably won't be
• 1:13:25
  the one seed, but I've caught a lot of slack from some from
• 1:13:30
  Carl, namely because I've became a Lightning fan and they have
• 1:13:36
  not been great in the second-half of the season.
• 1:13:37
  But hey, this is where this is where it all matters, right
• 1:13:41
  here. And I'm going to try to watch
• 1:13:43
  every game. I've been watching some games.
• 1:13:46
  You can you can give us a rundown on the NHL playoffs next
• 1:13:48
  week. Yeah, because I know so much
• 1:13:49
  about it. But it isn't like when like NBA
• 1:13:54
  and NHL playoffs happened at the same time.
• 1:13:57
  Gives you something to watch every night.
• 1:13:58
  It's I guess it's exciting. But oh wait, we didn't touch on
• 1:14:02
  on one thing, 11 big sports thing that's happening tonight.
• 1:14:05
  WNBA Draft was it AZ Fudd going number one overall to the Dallas
• 1:14:11
  Wings reunites with teammate and partner Page Becker.
• 1:14:19
  I just think it's a little, I think there could be some issues
• 1:14:21
  there. Better hope that they they,
• 1:14:24
  yeah, they don't, they don't break up.
• 1:14:26
  They break up. Then there's might be some some
• 1:14:28
  issues on the, on the, on the. I think I may have avoided that
• 1:14:31
  if I was the Dallas Wings, but I'm sure.
• 1:14:34
  They're but also maybe, but it also could work out in a favor
• 1:14:37
  because now that they're reunited, maybe they'll be a
• 1:14:39
  happier couple and they don't have to do long distance
• 1:14:41
  anymore. So maybe, you know, they're a
• 1:14:43
  happier couple, which equals better basketball.
• 1:14:46
  Yeah, because the majority of long distance couples, once they
• 1:14:49
  reunite and get together, they it's normally successful.
• 1:14:52
  I have no idea. I don't know either.
• 1:14:56
  I just, yeah, I don't know. It's just, I'm sure it's
• 1:15:00
  happened before in the WNBA where there's been two players
• 1:15:05
  on the team that have been together.
• 1:15:07
  But this is by far the most publicized.
• 1:15:10
  It's been and I don't know, I just think you're opening the
• 1:15:14
  door for a little extra drama there.
• 1:15:17
  So we'll see how it works out. Now they got they got some
• 1:15:19
  talent. You got those two.
• 1:15:21
  You still got Enrique? Yeah.
• 1:15:23
  Yeah, they got some players. They.
• 1:15:25
  Got some players? How did they have the number one
• 1:15:27
  overall pick? I don't know how it worked.
• 1:15:30
  Were they that bad last? Year.
• 1:15:31
  No, they weren't. They didn't make the playoffs
• 1:15:33
  last year. Hey, OK, they.
• 1:15:35
  Didn't make the playoffs, OK. And then Olivia Miles went to to
• 1:15:40
  Minnesota and Lauren Betts went four to Washington, and then
• 1:15:46
  Gabriella Vasquez went five to Chicago.
• 1:15:50
  Thank you. UCLA was projected to have six
• 1:15:54
  draft picks, which would set a record for a program record for
• 1:15:58
  most WNBA draft picks in one night.
• 1:16:00
  I'll see in South Carolina's 5. Dude I I I love Gabby Vasquez's
• 1:16:05
  game. Her brother was good too, yeah.
• 1:16:09
  We just all the the four people that hung on to the one hour and
• 1:16:14
  14 minute mark, they're like, hey, I'm out now.
• 1:16:17
  You just talk to a BNBA for 5 minutes.
• 1:16:20
  Kind of show love me we're we're an equal opportunity podcast.
• 1:16:23
  Here we are. We are.
• 1:16:27
  We are. And look, they're getting paid a
• 1:16:30
  little more money now. They've crossed the $1,000,000
• 1:16:34
  threshold. They have.
• 1:16:36
  Good for that. All right.
• 1:16:39
  I think it's enough. That's all I got.
• 1:16:40
  Unless you want to start talking NWSL or.
• 1:16:44
  No, I'm going. I'm going to eat a frozen Girl
• 1:16:48
  Scout cookie. Do you know what I'm going to
• 1:16:50
  do? I went over to the Peep's house
• 1:16:52
  yesterday. The parents house watched the
• 1:16:53
  masters with dad, grilled out some burgers.
• 1:16:56
