• 0:37
  Speaker 1: who we add on before the breaking news. But now
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: we have breaking news and that breaking news is centered
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: around Lebron James Taylor.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: What do we have? What do we know now? On
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Lebron James.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: Hump shar on you with the breaking news. Lebron James
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: is signing with the Philadelphia seventy six ers on a
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: two year, eight million dollars deal with the player option.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah wow, with a player option for third season. I'm
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: assuming the player options for the second year. I guess
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: there's so many details still coming out right now. Nobody
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: knows where the player option is second year? Is it
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: a following third year? But what we do know, Lebron
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: is going to seventy six ers and it's exactly what
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I said Stu and Shaums's tweet. His tweet has Lebron
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: in that black throwback Allen Iverson era jersey.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Yeap, and it looks unbelievable.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Really. He looks good in it, right, good in any jersey.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: He looks good in anything. And when you're built like that,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: That is going to be the number one selling jersey
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: this season in the NBA, that black throwback sixer jersey.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: We will discuss more of this on the radio show
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: today and later on with Israel Goody Eras. But he
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: is busy right now because it's a leg deay, so
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: he can't be here. Mikey let out a wow after
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Taylor read that report. That was one of the teams,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and it's the team I told him to go to
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: because that team gives him the best chance of winning
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: an nbah ambiaghit.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, But it just felt like that was
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: always the third team. It always felt like that was
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: the team that was there to drive up the price
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: a little bit, like, hey, you can always.
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: Go to Philadelphia.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And it just feels like he was.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: Gonna go to a place that had something to do
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: with his heart, whether it be back to Miami, whether
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: it be back to Cleveland, or whether it even be.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Go play in Golden State.
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: With his buddy Steph Curry, and in the end he
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: kind of just chose the mercenary route almost where I'm
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: just going to chase a rim.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: No, I love that because he has a couple of
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: years remaining, two years and perhaps an option for a third.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He's still trying to catch Jordan. Guys, that means something
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to him. The amount of titles that he wins means
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: something to him.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And at the age of.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Forty one, to still put himself in the position to
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: be good enough where all these teams wanted him and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: for him to have the opportunity to choose a team
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that will help him try to get a fifth and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: sixth NBA. He looked at Phillies, He looked at Golden State.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: He likes Steph, he loves Steph. They're great friends.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: They're not good enough to get to the NBA finals.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: He looked at all the other options that he had,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and the team that he thought gives him the best
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: chance to get not only a fifth but a sixth
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: ring is the Philadelphia seventy six ers. There's a lot
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of ifs, but Philadelphia did a great job by putting
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: themselves in position by acquiring Jalen Brown to make that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: team attractive enough for Lebron James to want to go there.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: I mean absolutely zero disrespect to Lebron because he is
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: still a top twenty five guy to do it. But
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: this feels a little bit like Randy Moss with the Titans.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: This feels a little bit like Jerry Rice with the
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: Denver Broncos. It just feels like it's like this doesn't fit,
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: this doesn't work for me.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: It's more like, well, I don't want to say, because
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Moss was in his prime when he went to the Patriots.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: But but Lebron's coming off a year in which he
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: averaged twenty two to six at five. His game is
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: still he's still playing at a very high level.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: So Lebron posted on Twitter about his decision and his
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: thought process going through this free agency process. But at
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: the end of it, he says, I believe I can
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: help make the Philadelphia seventy six ers a championship team,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and I'm so excited to energize a new fan base
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and start this incredible journey one last time. Thank you,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: La Miami. I'll forever love in Northeast Ohio, will always
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: be home.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Yep, Cleveland had him. They had him twice. Miami had him.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: They thought they were going to get him for six
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: or seven years. They got him for four. It was
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: still two NBA titles and four straight appearances in the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: NBA Finals.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: The Lakers had him, they won an NBA championship. And
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: now this is what Lebron likes consistently. He likes to
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: go to a place, put himself in a position where
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: he could be the reason that a team won an
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: NBA championship. And I think if Philadelphia wins, even with
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown there and embiid him, Maxi and Edgecomb and
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all those guys, the perception still will be that Lebron
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: James was the kind of kg vet blue guy that
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: taught those guys how to win big time in the NBA.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: I'm just telling you from an ego standpoint, he loves
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that stuff.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: We're also going to get the sad Miami media experience.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Right now, where Simmons is right.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: They were expecting Lebron to come. They were getting ready
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: to talk that Lebron was going to make them a
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: title contending team, and now Stu, I think the spin zone,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: I think the pivot from Miami media is going to be.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: He's forty one years old.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Of course, yes, yes, yep, yeah, no, they're gonna hate him, right.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: All we need is Bradley be on Russell Westbrook.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: They're going to Philly now on minimum deals coming off
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the bench for Lebron.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you think the key's still under the mat,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: the one that Riley left for Lebron James?
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: What do you think now?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: In Lebron's post, he says, this is my last decision.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Really? Wow?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, so Philly's gonna be the last up for Lebron James, Like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Philly went out and got a guy that made it
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: attractive for Lebron to get there. I'd be concerned if
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I were a Heat fan that Jannis was not attractive
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: enough for Lebron to say, Hey, I'm gonna go back
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: to Miami, that would concern me a little bit. I'm
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: just he chose him beat over Yannis, And.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like one of the talking points from the
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Lebron not though Lebron can't per se, but just from
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: everybody in it was like, oh, what's he gonna do
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: golfing in winter Philadelphia? I don't think he's really golfing
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: during home stands during the winter in Philadelphia. So it's
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: something that Lebron's gonna have to figure out once he
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: gets up to the Northeast and in the January December months.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Lebron is amazed that at the age
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: of forty, we don't worry about golf right now. He's like, man,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I can still catch this guy. I was done chasing
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: and I was playing. Hey, I played longer longevity all that. No,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: he's got a real chance to win a fifth ring
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and maybe a sixth ring. I mean, I can't believe
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that, but that seem is talented enough. Think
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: about that starting five. I want you guys to really
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: think about who they're starting five is going to be.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: When you talk about Embiid, Jalen Brown, Edgecombe, Maxi, and
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Lebron James. I mean that's eam is good enough to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: win back to back NBA titles. In fact, I'm going
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: to say it right now, Lebron's getting the six how
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: about that?
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: The six ears.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: That's why Joseph.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Sarah Spain next the commission. Sarah Spain is with us.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: She is the host of Good Game with Sarah Spain on.
• 7:42

• 7:46
  Speaker 1: stories in women's sports. Every Day host Sarah Spain gives

  Speaker 1: She'll be covering the WNBA All Star Game this weekend
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in her hometown of Chicago.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: She's already exhausted the weekend? Has it started? Hello, Sarah?
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Seems like a good sign, right, I already have party
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: voice and I haven't yet been to a party.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Because you came from a Flavor Flavor party in Las Vegas?
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Is that correct? Yes?
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: I did, Yes, I did Flavor Flave She Weakened, which
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: was basically four straight days of there were actually panels
• 8:23
  Speaker 6: and discussions and education and opportunities for all these Olympic
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: athletes to learn, you know, what they do after they
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: retire and how to manage finances. But in between that,
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: we were partying with the backstreet boys and Ed Sheer
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: and you know, on top of a double decker bus
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: going down the strip, which was by far the most
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: wholesome thing I've ever done in Vegas was to be
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: down the strip with like little girls holding signs that
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: said girl power, and I was like, gosh, I'm usually
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: like barefoot at three am, getting every kind of tetanus
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: trying to like drag my ass off for something.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: So this feels very wholesome.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: If I had told you, like two decades ago that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: at one point in time Flavor Flav was going to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: be some sort of ambassador for the US Big Team,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: you would have told me.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: What the number of people that have asked me that
• 9:11
  Speaker 6: in the last couple I mean, first I had him
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: on my show to talk about sponsoring like women's water
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: polo and ahead of the Winter Olympics getting involved with
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: the Bops sled skeleton team. Then we hung out at
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: the Olympics, then we hung out in France, then in Vegas.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: So now people are like, Okay, what's going on with
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: you in Flavor Flav first of all, And secondly, is
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: he like is this real? Like is he like a
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: legit good dude? Because he's got a lot in his
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: past flavor Flavor and it seems exceedingly genuine. He does
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: a lot of stuff that doesn't even show up, so
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: it's not even just to benefit his you know, public
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: brand or anything. He genuinely like had a kind of
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: wake up call is sober now and is like I
• 9:47
  Speaker 6: want to spend the rest of my life.
• 9:49
  Speaker 7: Doing good things and using my influence to help people
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: that need it.
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: And once he got on board with women's sports, he
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: was like, man, these people are awesome and they don't
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: get recognized and they don't get supported.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: And now he's like everyone's favorite uncle.
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: Basically, like these Olympians would like die for him now
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: because he's so awesome to them.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: He's been great.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: I will say this, since you're hosting all the WNBA
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: All Star festivities this weekend, it's an odd choice to
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: make to go out to Vegas with Flavor Flame in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the days leading up to one of your busiest weekends
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of the year.
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: I mean, well, I didn't plan it. My life feels
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: like I can't.
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: I want to be able to hit a pause button
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: and sleep for four days and then pick back up
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: because I don't want to miss anything.
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: But I also am so tired. It's I mean, Stu,
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: you get this.
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: I've been talking about women's sports stuff for so long
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: and I'm like, hey, everyone, look over here, women's sports,
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: look over here. And now I'm like not all at once, Yes,
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: so tired, so it's a good problem to have, but like, yeah,
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: it's it's a because right before Flavor Flame, not long before,
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: I was in can France for Sport Beach and that
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: was up every single night night today, you know, and
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: it was also the hottest days in the history of
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: the country of France. Yes, so you've got all these
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: people trying to like look really chic and like talk
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: on panels outside and it's one hundred and ten and
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: people just have like five fans in their face, like
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: trying not to die. Yeah, I've been on a Stu
• 11:11
  Speaker 6: Gott's ask heeter in terms of treating my body like
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: absolute shit.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Well, congratulations to you, proud of it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: For the best.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, Israel is not here today because he
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: claims that you would give him such a hard time.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: It's leg day at the gym, and he claims that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you would give him such a hard time about not
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: working on his legs that he felt guilty and therefore
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: he blew you off to go to the gym there.
• 11:36
  Speaker 7: That's fair and it's good that he's doing that.
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: I think we could all suggest that as he should
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: spend a little more time in the gym. I mean,
• 11:44
  Speaker 6: why nice that he's working so hard, but someday the
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: results will show up for him, and we're all looking
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: forward to that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, but why were you breaking his shops about his legs?
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Like is he disproportioned it? Like the upper body looks
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: better than the bottom half. What's going on there?
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Listen, Sue, I talk so much shit. I don't remember
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: what I see.
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: I basically said about his legs, but that checks out.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: I remember making fun of him for not going to
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: enough concerts. I don't remember the legs, but I will
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: say I am a leg connoisseur. My husband and I
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: are married ninety percent because of his legs. So it's
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: possible that is just isn't bringing it in the leg department,
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: and just commented on that.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: We'll get to the All Star Game weekend at a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: second here. But when you're looking at legs, what are
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: you looking for? What are the keys to good legs?
• 12:25
  Speaker 7: Primarily length?
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Yes, I like a good long set of gams, and
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: I like chicken legs, but with some sturdiness, so very lanky,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: exceedingly lanky, but still like there's enough hef to them
• 12:38
  Speaker 6: that they don't look spindly. A big difference between chicken
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: legs and spindly legs. So I guess my idea would
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: be Michael Jordan in baseball pants when he played briefly
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: for the White Sox.
• 12:48
  Speaker 7: And if you have.
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: A body type remotely similar to I don't know, the
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: greatest athlete of all time, but you know, it doesn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: have to be that extreme.
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: But my husband is six or five. He's mostly legs.
• 13:00
  Speaker 7: And when I spotted them across the room, I was like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: oh hello.
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: And that was that baby. You ever see good ankles?
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: You ever look at somebody like man, look at those anles?
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: No? I mostly see bad ankles, right, bad ankles and
• 13:15
  Speaker 6: bitch hips.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: There is just this.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: There's just something about a man with wide hips that
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: I can't get behind or in front of him, now.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: That I'm thinking about it. So she must have looked
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: at me and levantor Andy been like, what he's got
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: the hips? I got short legs.
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: Everyone's got their thing.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: There are so many times where I think about like,
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: this is probably the first time this has ever happened
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: in the world, or this first time somebody's ever uttered
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: this sentence or googled this. I think I'm the first
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: person to ever google Sarah Spain's husband's legs.
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, I doubt that. I talk about them a lot.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Also, people think he's a bit of a second on
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: the internet, so they probably googled every part of him
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: to figure out how he made his billions.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Which, wait, so what came back when you did that search? Taylor?
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: It's just a lot of couple photos and trying to
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: figure out nobody has any information on the legs yet.
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: It's just pictures that Sarah has posted.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: Basically, well, Taylor, now you have information. What are your
• 14:16

  Speaker 6: a fun hang. And on Saturday, I'm interviewing Malala Yusufsai,
• 15:22
  Speaker 6: who you may know. I don't know, Stu, you're a
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: very sports heavy person. But she's the one who was
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: attacked by the Taliban, shot in the head and they
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: attempted to assassinate her for just wanting to get an education.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: So she's recently started a fund for women's sports, so
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: she's getting into the women's sports game with capital. So
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: I get to interview her at the WNBA conference. So
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: between all the parties and the fun stuff with all
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: the athletes. I'm also gonna like put on my smart
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: person hat and talk to like one of the most
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: influential people of the last decade when it comes to
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: things like gender apartheid and equal opportunities for girls in
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: sports and education and stuff.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: So I'm pretty pumped for that.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: And then yeah, there's Sue Bird's got a party, kid,
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: This Parker's got a party. It's just really fun to
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: have everyone in my city and you know, be able
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: to show them around and pop.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: Off a little.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: I know you're tired and you need sleep, but how
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: many hours of sleep do you imagine you're going to
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: log this weekend?
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: I mean with all that going on, because that sounds
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: like a weekend, Sarah.
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: I want you to know I woke up twenty minutes
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: ago because today was the only day that I was like,
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: just keep sleeping until.
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: You can't sleep anymore, because you're not going to be
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: able to again. This was my one night.
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: I actually skipped the party last night to go to
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: sleep because I literally felt like I was going to
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: perish none. I'm going to get very little and then
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: I'm going to Savannah Bananas on Sunday at Wrigley, which
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: is going to be a blast. And then on Saturday
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: of next week, it's the first opening day for Women's
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Professional Baseball League, the first professional baseball league for women
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: since the you know days of a league of their own,
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: since that All American Girls League. So I'm going down
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: there to help launch opening day for that. So asleep
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: when I'm dead Stu, which is going to happen sooner
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: than I had hoped, I think, based on again how I'm.
• 17:01
  Speaker 7: Treating my body.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Mike, Yeah, you want to talk about your Savannah Banana
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: experience with Sarah's.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: But have you been to Savannah Bananas yet? Sarah? No,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Miikey go ahead.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: I get so much flacked from these guys because I
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: went to Savannah Bananas. I took my kids and I
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: had a great time fun, and they were they were like, Oh,
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: if you could have asked me to do anything and
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: paid for my ticket and given me money, I wouldn't
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: have gone with you to see Savannah Bananas.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: I'm like, you guys are just missing out. You just
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: enemies of fun.
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: You're gonna have so much fun, Sarah, especially Sarah.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Let me say this.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: You know who was complaining fifteen minutes into a Savannah
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Banana experience Mikey Ya, Okay.
• 17:35
  Speaker 7: What was he complaining about?
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: What was I complaining about?
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Too much? I mean crowd thank you too much?
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: Well, listen, I hate crowds.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: But I'll tell you that.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: Hope you get extrainings because it's the best X trainings
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: in baseball.
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: Okay, Spanna Bananas should be up your alleys. Do you've
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: been trying to invent dumb shit rules and put them
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: into baseball, like.
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: Jumping into it?
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They're doing it, yeah, and they're doing it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: Are you just jealous? Didn't monetize your ideas? I haven't
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: been yet.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not judging. I'm just saying, Mikey, he's a phony.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Say he's promoting it like he had the greatest time
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in the world and he was tired of him.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: Twenty minutes in, Sarah Stugatts doesn't know what he wants
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: because for decades he was the one saying that baseball
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: has to be faster, and then the second baseball got faster,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: he goes, hold on, it's getting a little too fast now,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah that checks out.
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: Checks out?
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: No, Savannah Bananas is going to be a blast, And
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I feel like any man who doesn't appreciate a baseball
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: game interrupted for musical theater pieces is simply not healed enough.
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: You know, you just have to be willing to have
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: somebody on third base and have an actual Broadway singer
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: singing bring Him Home from Le Miz.
• 18:40
  Speaker 7: Like, if you don't think that that's what real sports is,
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: I don't know what to tell you.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I feel obliged here with the WNBA All Star Game
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: and you hosting it, and you being such a big
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: voice and presence in everything that is women's sports, to ask.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: You what the hell is going on with Caitlyn Clark.
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: Yeah, First of all, I've missed you saying woman sports
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: to day, you will learn how.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: To say the word women. Wait, so woman is plural women? No,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: women is plural. Yeah, women is singular.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Yes, we'll keep working on it. Yeah. I man, this
• 19:16
  Speaker 7: is wild and we don't have time for all of
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: the nuance.
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: I will give you the cliffs notes, which is basically
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: Kaitlin Clark acquired this incredible popularity and was both beloved
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: for being an exciting and fun player to watch and
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: became an avatar for certain people to use for political, racial,
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: homophobic agendas, and it kept snowballing, and a lot of
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: the national media who have not really been interested in
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: women's sports before, realized that there was a lot of
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: ways to get people engaged and enraged around Kaitlin Clark,
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: which meant clicks and comments and all the things that
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: people are looking for these days on the Internet. So
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: a lot of people started to look for opportunities to
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: monetize the rivalry with Angel Reese and other people. And
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: for a long time I thought Caitlin was being used
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: in service of others in that way. I thought she
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: could have spoken out more, But I also thought she's
• 20:04
  Speaker 6: young from Iowa. She doesn't necessarily need to be able
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: to speak on all of the different elements that are
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: kind of meeting at the middle around her. At this point,
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: I think she's doing herself a disservice in the way
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: she's behaving in games. At times, everyone's getting hit hard.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: It's a really physical league. I used to be a
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: total red ass when I got fouled. I complained to
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: the refs all the time.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: I know that it'll be shocking to you, right, so shocked, yeah, yes, But.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: You have to figure out how to pick your battles.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: And there are times of late where she has berated
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: the reps for calls that I've watched ten fifteen times
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: in slow mo and I don't see the contact. One
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: of them actually look like an offensive foul on her
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: when she like heismanned the girl away. Then to talk
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: about it again in the press or after, and to
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: know that when you do that, those athletes that were
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: involved in that play are getting death threats and harassment
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: and racism. And that's not her fault, but it is
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: the outcome of her actions. And so there is a
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: part where you say, you could stop this if you
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: wanted to, by speaking out more vociferously about how you
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: don't want your fans to do that and how that
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: doesn't stand for you, and how the plays are still basketball.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: You just wish it got called differently, And instead she
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: seems to be leaning in.
• 21:15
  Speaker 6: And I don't think it's before I used to just
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: think it was bad for other players in the league.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: I think she's doing harm to her long term brand
• 21:22
  Speaker 6: because the joy is gone. It used to be so
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: fun to watch her hit logo threes and throw crazy
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: passes and like the assists were insane, and now you're
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: mostly just focused on her yelling at the officials and
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: being mad all the time, and that's just not as fun.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: It's such a great point because she's still doing those
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: things on the court, she's still playing at a very
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: high level, You're right a.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Lot of the time.
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, everything, but she's she's injured, so she has like
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: these kind of like she did a forty five and
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: ten the other day, it was absolutely insane, and then
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: another game she might have to sit a lot and
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: have a restrictions amit minute restriction because of her back
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: and other injuries. So it's a little bit up and down,
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: and I think that's frustrating for her, and I get that,
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: but again, long term, her brand and who she is
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: and the sport and the league are going to be
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: better off if she complains sometimes when it's called for
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: and then the rest of the time just plays basketball.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Right, she feels like she's earned every call, and a
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: lot of people feel like, no, that's on her, Like
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan got a lot of calls because he earned
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of calls, you know.
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: Well, and she's still in her third year, missed most
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: of her second year. She's not Michael Jordan, right.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: There are so many players in the league that could
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: be arguing for you, not Asia Wilson. She's not somebody
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: who has won anything yet. And that's not to say
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: that you need to win to be respected or treated right.
• 22:32
  Speaker 6: But again, so I posted a video the other day
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: that was satirical and it was essentially like, Caitlin Clark's
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: the only person taking hard fouls, and then it was
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: a video of someone just getting the shit beat out
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: of them.
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: You know, Caitlin Clark's the only one who has the
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: right to complain.
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: Another video of someone getting put in the headlock, and
• 22:46
  Speaker 6: it's like, I understand in some ways why people feel
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: this way, because if your algorithm or your internet only
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: shows you slowed down replays and still shots of Kaitlyn
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Clark looking like she's getting beat up, and you watch
• 22:55
  Speaker 6: none of the games and nothing else gets fed to
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: you on your Internet, you're gonna be like, WHOA, that's crazy.
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: They're targeting her. She's the only one. And I'm like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: watch the games, watch fill all your timeline with other clips,
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: because you're going to see that the league is too physical.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: And that's why the rest of the players are also
• 23:11
  Speaker 6: saying we need better and more consistent officiating. So we're
• 23:14
  Speaker 6: all a little bit safer and protected from injury.
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: But it's not just Caitlin.
• 23:17
  Speaker 6: But I don't blame people if that's what they see
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: every day and that's the only thing they see, because again,
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: that's what people know they can monetize, sir.
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: The WNBA is growing by almost every measurable metric. But
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: when you look at the conversation around Kathy Engelbert, the commissioner,
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: everything seems so negative towards her. What is fair and
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: what isn't fair when it comes to the commissioner's.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Role in all of this, Yeah, it's complicated in the
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: W because you know, we know Roger Goodell answers to
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: NFL owners and takes the slings and arrows of the
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: public in service of those owners, and he makes a
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: lot of money doing that, and we don't really expect
• 23:53
  Speaker 6: them to have that great of a relationship with the players,
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: Like when they do the bear hugs at the draft,
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: we're always kind of joking like, oh, that's because that's
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: their first time meeting him, and then the rest of
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: their career they're piss at him for whatever decisions he's making.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: But in the W, Kathy answers to the w owners
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: and to the NBA and Adam Silver in a lot
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: of ways, in a way that's not super transparent. In fact,
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: after the Elisa Thomas Caitlin Clark Fowl reports had Adam
• 24:16
  Speaker 6: Silver being the one going over the top of Kathy
• 24:18
  Speaker 6: to decide that Alisa Thomas should be suspended. That's a
• 24:20
  Speaker 6: really tough position to be in where you're going to
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: take all the heat for things, but it feels like
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: you don't actually have the final say on a lot
• 24:26
  Speaker 6: of them. Secondarily, I think Kathy has been a great
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: business steward of the league. There's some questions about the
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: sixteen percent equity that they gave away a couple of
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: years ago. It was a really important time for a
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: capital injection in the league, but ultimately the way it
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: was valued was probably too low and now they've given
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: away too much of that piece of the league to others.
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: But beyond that, people think she's done a great job
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: business wise of stewarding the league. They do not think
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: she has the human touch to connect with the players,
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: and the question is whether you need that most men's
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: professional leagues. That is not required in women's professional sports,
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: and particularly the w where it's extremely intersectional with race
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: and gender and sexuality and all these other things. She
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: stepped in it a lot with some of the comments
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: she's made about players in the league, and that makes
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: it difficult for a lot of the players to feel
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: like she has their back with all the harassment, with
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: so much of the coverage being about online vitriol and
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: other things and not just about x's and o's and
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: how they play, there's more of a necessity, in my opinion,
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: for the commissioner to make the players feel, if not
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: physically in life more safe, but the very least psychologically supported,
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: and they feel a real disconnect with her.
• 25:35
  Speaker 7: So that's where that conflict comes in.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: What'd you make a Dan Patrick meantail we're out in
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Tahoe when this happen, would you make a Dan Patrick's
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: comment because the spot on he was spot on?
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you should.
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: You should want to clear up and use your own
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: voice to set whatever narrative you think is correct, not
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: showing up and blowing it off. And I'm interested because
• 25:56
  Speaker 6: she's speaking at WNB All Star. It's going to be
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: one of the first times we've heard from her in
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: a long time about all of these issues, and I
• 26:02
  Speaker 6: think Dan Patrick has a reputation and you can expect
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: to go on that show and be treated fairly. Yeah,
• 26:08
  Speaker 6: And so to decide not to go and to blow
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: them off last minute, and then to be chipping mere
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: yards away from me, yes, from you and from Dan
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: and not a good look.
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: Had to shoot him good.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Good, terrible? Yeah.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: No, Yes, she has a much better swing than I do.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: She's a better golfer than I am. I mean she is, Yes,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: by a lot. We'll get you out of here in
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: just a second. Couple of quick things. Okay, we were
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: playing a game yesterday, since you're close in proximity to Indiana. Okay,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: and I'll ask you about the stadium here in a second.
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: But Indiana University football school or basketball school?
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: Basketball school?
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Wow, she didn't even hesitate Taylor.
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: Still, it's gonna be Hoosier's white picket fence for a
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: long time. It's gonna take more than one Natty for that.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, bear stadium. What's going on there?
• 27:02
  Speaker 7: So frustrating.
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: I'm of two minds because one, I'm like very grateful
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: that our city and state actually was smart enough not
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: to be throwing billions of dollars at billionaires every single
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: bit of research, every single piece of history says taxpayer
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: should not be funding these stadiums for billionaires, and we
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: don't as.
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: Citizens or as cities ever get out of it what
• 27:22
  Speaker 7: they claim.
• 27:23
  Speaker 6: We just end up supporting people who have enough money
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: and influence to get that money elsewhere.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: So good on us for sticking by it. I can't decide.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: On the one hand, it makes more sense to be
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: in the state of Illinois, and as a principal, I
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: would be super annoyed if the Bears were in Indiana.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: On the other hand, Indiana and Gary or that area
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: would actually probably be more influx of money into the
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: city because people would just stay in Chicago and do
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: all the stuff in Chicago and then go over to
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: the game and come back, whereas Arlington Heights they might
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: do that, but probably not as much. So it's a
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: toss up. I think you have to under that Soldier
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: Field is not going to be the place because they'll
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: never fully own it. It's protected in a lot of
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: ways by historical things there. It's locked on multiple sides
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: by the lake, which makes it impossible.
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: To get in and out of.
• 28:11
  Speaker 6: It's super inconvenient despite being in the city, so people
• 28:14
  Speaker 6: might actually find that it's easier to get to a
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: game in either of the two.
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: Other places, just out of principle.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: The idea of like, also there's parts of Illinois that
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: want to secede to Indiana, Like Southern Illinois thinks it's
• 28:27
  Speaker 6: more like Indiana. Like they want to have all their
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: guns and have certain political views. So the idea of
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: them just like getting the Bears, like you you don't
• 28:35
  Speaker 6: get to have our bears Indiana. Like I remember I
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: saw like there's like a sign it was like Indiana,
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: We're not in the South, So why are we like this?
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Like that's how I feel about them, So, like I
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: don't want them to take the Bears, even if it's
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: just in location and not in name. But I understand
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: it's way more complicated than the fields, Right, there's a
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: lot more that goes into it.
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Sarah, you and c hasn't had an All Star
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: in the NBA in eighteen years, and right now, as
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: a Carolina fan, all our eggs, we're putting it in
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: the Caleb Wilson basket. Yeah, here's to the street in Chicago.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: Is Caleb Wilson going to be the prince that was
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: promised for the Bulls.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Oh boy, First of all, is that at Mitchell Trubisky
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: helmet behind you?
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Is Mitchell Trubisky bobblehead?
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, Chris, he was a walk on football player at Carolina.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: Speaking of oh nice Kings Taylor, speaking of u NC
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: people that were promised to be the next great thing
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: for us.
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: I am hopeful.
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: I feel very good about what the experts are saying
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: about him.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: It feels like we're in a.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Constant like groundhog Day with the Bulls, where we're like
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: middle of the road. We get a decently high draft pick,
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: we pick them, they're either nothing or we think they're nothing,
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: we send them somewhere else, and then they become something great,
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: which just happened.
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: With like so many of them.
• 29:53
  Speaker 6: So yeah, we'll see, We'll see new coach, new player.
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: I'm always gonna be hopeful at the beginning, because why
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: follows sports if you can't find the hope before everything
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: is ruined. And then I will be honest when everything
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: is ruined. So I'm for now I'm gonna say, and
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: it just I mean the marketing. If we had double
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: Caleb just running this town would be absolutely Caleb Caleb
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: Connor PCA like to get all those boys running around together.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: That'd be so fun.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Last question on the way out here, and we appreciate
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: the time you had my daughter's lacrosse coach, Kellyamante Hiller
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: on your show. And you seem surprised before we started
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: recording here that she had so many kind words to
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: say about me during that interview.
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I don't know if she's just learned how to
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: play the game right as a coach and someone who
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: needs to, you know, engender the love of potential boosters
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: and otherwise. But I teed her up to really tell
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: me some good stories about what a mess you are
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: and how annoying you are, probably calling for extra tickets
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: or demand making demands of things, or telling her that
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: you were going to show up and talk to the girls,
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: but you have a lacrosse mitz for or whatever. But
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: instead she was like, oh, he's so, I'm she she
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: gave like a cursory sentence acknowledging that I had said
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: that you were both a wonderful person and also the worst, and.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: She acknowledged and agreed and then and then mostly.
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Said nice stuff about you and how you're such a
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: great supporter and you're at all the games and all
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: the other stuff. And it was actually funny because we
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: hung up and I said thank you never, and my
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: producers were like, that was so funny because like she
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: only had the nicest things to say about him, but
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: like she said, he was always there and supporting the
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: girls and like never missed a game. So I kind
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: of understand why maybe his like colleagues or bosses might
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: think he's the worst.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: Because I didn't go to his job.
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: And I was like, there you go. You guys got it.
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: You figured it out right away.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest. Your entire staff was disappointed. You wanted
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: her to take a sledge advertage she did it.
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: Yes, obviously I wanted that clip man like content brain,
• 31:49
  Speaker 6: thank you.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: For always looking out for me.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: She is the host of Good Game with Zara Spain
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: on iHeart Women's Sports. Will also be covering the WNBA
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: All Star Game this weekend in her hometown of Chicago.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I can't have her on enough. By the way, we
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: don't need people in the middle. We don't need middle men. Okay,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: you and I have known each other for over a
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: decade now. If we want to talk to each other,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: just text each other.
