- 0:18Speaker 3: Well, Spurs has been a good run, nice shopping. Where
- 0:21Speaker 3: do you go, good effort, it's over. It would just
- 0:27Speaker 3: declare it done.
- 0:28Speaker 4: It's over.
- 0:29Speaker 1: She gone. When you blow a lead like that, she gone.
- 0:33Speaker 5: That's when you know the Nuggets was over when they
- 0:35Speaker 5: blew that nineteen point leading Game two at home.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not just that they blew the lead. If
- 0:43Speaker 3: you've noticed they've done this repeatedly in the postseason, hasn't
- 0:46Speaker 3: burned them all the time. It happened a lot in
- 0:47Speaker 3: the Thunder series, actually happened a lot in that. But
- 0:51Speaker 3: you get a twenty nine point lead, I think it
- 0:53Speaker 3: was twenty seven and a half.
- 0:56Speaker 1: And still that's hard.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Still sounded it sounded like putting a mic on with
- 1:03Speaker 3: or the the sock on with the mic.
- 1:07Speaker 1: On protection called a muff ibout protection. Yeah, putting protection on,
- 1:14Speaker 1: I don't do.
- 1:14Speaker 6: That.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Point is when you have that kind of lead and
- 1:25Speaker 3: then at the end of the game, you still have
- 1:27Speaker 3: a prime opportunity to win and dearon Fox's Brain Breaks.
- 1:32Speaker 3: I I always thought about this.
- 1:36Speaker 5: I know that it's it was a movie, you know,
- 1:39Speaker 5: it was a movie, and the cast happened to be
- 1:43Speaker 5: all of the Hollywood elites.

- 1:49Speaker 1: saw vidyos Shalaman.
- 1:50Speaker 5: Taylor Swift was in that cast. Jerry Seinfeld was in
- 1:54Speaker 5: the cast. All of these Hollywood folks sitting there celebrating well,
- 2:00Speaker 5: and they had every reason to celebrate one of, if
- 2:03Speaker 5: not the most ridiculous finish to an NBA playoff game
- 2:07Speaker 5: I've ever seen.
- 2:08Speaker 1: By the way, you got got yesterday? Yeah, I know

- 2:32Speaker 1: Oh my god, he got got got. You got got
- 2:39Speaker 1: no dog courts?
- 2:40Speaker 3: Now what I would I've been surprised at all if

- 2:44Speaker 1: Not really. When did Taylor Swift become an anyway?
- 2:49Speaker 6: I was just looking that up dude, she's from Pennsylvania.
- 2:53Speaker 6: I don't know, you know what? Not only do I
- 2:57Speaker 6: not know the answer to that question, Vic, I don't care.
- 3:01Speaker 5: When did the hyim how do you pronounce it? Jim's sisters?
- 3:04Speaker 5: When did they become Knicks fan? Were they always Nicks fans?
- 3:07Speaker 1: Were they? You don't know their music?
- 3:09Speaker 7: I think I think they're from New York, aren't they?
- 3:11Speaker 1: Are they really? Okay? I didn't mind me so?
- 3:13Speaker 8: And Taylor Swift has been hanging out with the Knicks
- 3:15Speaker 8: for a while. Someone dug up some old pictures of her,
- 3:17Speaker 8: like hanging with Mellow wearing a Nick jersey. She's been
- 3:21Speaker 8: swinging by for a while.
- 3:22Speaker 3: I got your answer, Vic, she is a fan of
- 3:24Speaker 3: the New York Thanks well, that changes everything.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Her affinity for.
- 3:27Speaker 3: The franchise dates back to her childhood, as she performed
- 3:29Speaker 3: a kid's talent competition at Madison Square Garden when she
- 3:32Speaker 3: was twelve.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Did that okay? Then? I remain.
- 3:36Speaker 5: You can strike that from the record. She has every
- 3:41Speaker 5: right to sit there with the Him sisters.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Uh. Point is, by the way, they've got good music.
- 3:46Speaker 1: I don't know who they are. I'm sure they do.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Nelly does Nelly? You know them right, Yeah, they're good.
- 3:50Speaker 5: It's it's three sisters. Yeah, we've established that.
- 3:53Speaker 1: But here's that's what's funny.
- 3:55Speaker 4: It's like it's like the Andrews sisters.
- 3:57Speaker 1: No, no, they're really good.
- 3:59Speaker 4: D D Chicago away.
- 4:02Speaker 1: I think it's not duop.
- 4:06Speaker 3: All right, So when deeron Fox pokes it away, yeah,
- 4:10Speaker 3: there you go. Mari Stodomayer from Carmelo, Anthony and Taylor Swift.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Look at that. She looks the same. Looks she was
- 4:17Speaker 1: twelve in that photo.
- 4:19Speaker 7: No way that she was.
- 4:20Speaker 4: Oh maybe not.
- 4:21Speaker 1: I don't know. She looks the same.
- 4:23Speaker 5: The uh.
- 4:24Speaker 3: The deeran Fox play is one that it's outrageous. It
- 4:28Speaker 3: drives me nuts because of this fig. I've seen this
- 4:30Speaker 3: happen the opposite way. I am one thousand per a
- 4:35Speaker 3: fan of If you have a lead, even with a
- 4:38Speaker 3: few seconds left, and you have an open bucket, the
- 4:41Speaker 3: open bucket, take the open layup.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Yeah, yes it wasn't open, but it wasn't open. No Ognanobi.
- 4:47Speaker 5: By the way, we're going to talk about ogn Andobi,
- 4:50Speaker 5: how he was this close to becoming a Denver nugget.
- 4:53Speaker 5: When I say this close, my fingers are together, they're together,
- 4:56Speaker 5: painful all right, So the entire history books could have
- 5:00Speaker 5: gotten rewritten, and you never know how it would have
- 5:03Speaker 5: gone in twenty seventeen. But that guy has now moved
- 5:07Speaker 5: front and center. It's either gonna be It's either gonna
- 5:11Speaker 5: be Brunson or og Anenoby will I.
- 5:15Speaker 1: Will say this with as much force as possible.
- 5:19Speaker 3: If this ends, and let's say these guys continue, there's
- 5:22Speaker 3: similar stretch of play, there is no reason why Annobe
- 5:25Speaker 3: should not be Finals MVP.
- 5:27Speaker 1: He has made.
- 5:28Speaker 5: So many I mean, look at that play. The Fox play,
- 5:30Speaker 5: the Fox play, the fox trot. We're gonna call that
- 5:33Speaker 5: here to the fox trot. That's what it was, all right,
- 5:36Speaker 5: because he's the only guy fast enough to chase down
- 5:38Speaker 5: that ball. And then he determines in a split second,
- 5:42Speaker 5: I'm gonna give us a three point lead. We're gonna
- 5:45Speaker 5: clinch this game. But little did he know that Ognnobe
- 5:50Speaker 5: never gave up on the play, emotion, never gave up
- 5:52Speaker 5: on the play, and was there just in the nick
- 5:55Speaker 5: of time to change that play and change the course
- 5:57Speaker 5: of history. And then the putback keep put in at
- 6:00Speaker 5: the end. By the way, what was Jalen Brunston doing
- 6:02Speaker 5: shooting from forty yards.
- 6:05Speaker 4: Well he was, he was way out there.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Way what was that?
- 6:09Speaker 4: The fact there goes my hero listen man.
- 6:14Speaker 6: The fact that you had three Spurs in front of
- 6:18Speaker 6: Ananobi and they didn't box him out.
- 6:20Speaker 5: Well because when Benyama went out to challenge brunts.
- 6:23Speaker 6: Yeah, but Wemby, I mean, but Wemby could still have
- 6:25Speaker 6: gotten there. I mean, if you look at it, there
- 6:27Speaker 6: are already three other knicks there. Anyway, the game wasn't
- 6:29Speaker 6: lost there. The game was lost understood in the fourth
- 6:32Speaker 6: quarter when the entire Spurs team just melted down. If
- 6:36Speaker 6: they if they boxed him out, if they box him out,
- 6:39Speaker 6: do they win the game?
- 6:40Speaker 4: You're right? But if they box him out, do they
- 6:41Speaker 4: win the game? Yes?
- 6:42Speaker 1: Yeah, But it shouldn't come down to that.
- 6:44Speaker 5: Shouldn't come down to foxtrot, shouldn't come down to any
- 6:46Speaker 5: of that. You're up twenty nine points, you're on the road,
- 6:49Speaker 5: the game is done, it's over, and you are taking
- 6:52Speaker 5: stupid quick shot after stupid quick shot and your coach
- 6:56Speaker 5: didn't help you. That's where a coach, he's a young coach,
- 7:00Speaker 5: it's a young team. That's where your coach has to
- 7:03Speaker 5: call consecutive timeouts. If you have to and slow things down.
- 7:07Speaker 5: The game's over mathematically.
- 7:10Speaker 1: It's over, yep. And you allowed them.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Back in because you were Do you know how many
- 7:15Speaker 5: shots they took when there was fourteen left on.
- 7:18Speaker 1: A clin know.
- 7:20Speaker 3: So I'm watching this play again, by the way, and
- 7:22Speaker 3: and ob inbounds it. It's almost like nobody, nobody knew
- 7:27Speaker 3: where he was. They were all focused on bruns and shooting.
- 7:31Speaker 3: So he goes from being the inbounder to a dead
- 7:34Speaker 3: sprint with nobody in front of him. When you say
- 7:37Speaker 3: box out most I don't think anybody had him.
- 7:39Speaker 5: No, Dylan Harper was the nearest to him, but he
- 7:42Speaker 5: came from so far outside. Yeah, you can't blame anybody.
- 7:45Speaker 1: It's an amazing play. It's just an incredible play.
- 7:49Speaker 5: It's one of the greatest shots in NBA Finals history,
- 7:52Speaker 5: to be honest with you, it will go down.
- 7:54Speaker 1: It will live.
- 7:54Speaker 5: That'll be a legendary shot in the annals of New
- 7:57Speaker 5: York basketball for sure.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Do you know what blew me away this morning?
- 8:01Speaker 3: By the way, because somebody was talking about you know, No, Brett,
- 8:04Speaker 3: what blew you away?
- 8:08Speaker 1: Better fix that attitude? Better fix yourself. Better you fix
- 8:11Speaker 1: that attitude, fix.
- 8:12Speaker 5: Your face with that little hair of thing under your lip.
- 8:15Speaker 5: Today's day you decided to wear that today.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I can tell you have an attitude this morning. You
- 8:20Speaker 1: fix it right now.
- 8:21Speaker 5: This is the day you decided to show up with
- 8:22Speaker 5: that little stubble underneath your lip.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Here's what blew me when you come in with some attitude.
- 8:28Speaker 1: I was thinking about.
- 8:29Speaker 3: The Spurs, and this is because this is how we
- 8:31Speaker 3: discussed basketball. Somebody said, when are we going to start
- 8:34Speaker 3: talking about Wemby the way that people talk about Jokic
- 8:36Speaker 3: and be disappointing and allowing this finish. What he said
- 8:41Speaker 3: was I don't care about his age, And I was like,
- 8:42Speaker 3: well I do.
- 8:43Speaker 6: I do?
- 8:43Speaker 1: I think that being twenty two years old matters like this?
- 8:49Speaker 3: Do you know the last time the San Antonio Spurs
- 8:52Speaker 3: played an actual playoff basketball round before this year.
- 8:58Speaker 1: That's not a play in.
- 9:01Speaker 4: Real series.
- 9:03Speaker 5: I got the year that they lost to the Nuggets
- 9:06Speaker 5: in seven twenty nineteen against the Nuggets was the last
- 9:09Speaker 5: time they played in an actual playoff series.
- 9:11Speaker 1: They had two play in games where they were one
- 9:13Speaker 1: and done previous to that. That's the year that they
- 9:15Speaker 1: had Dejonta Murray on that team. Derek White killed Jing
- 9:18Speaker 1: Game three, Yeah, that was I remember that series.
- 9:21Speaker 5: Who's the big guy that plays now for Toronto, the
- 9:24Speaker 5: big white guy from like Finland.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Oh, I know you're talking about He was on that team.
- 9:30Speaker 5: I remember he kept setting hard picks against Jamal Murray
- 9:35Speaker 5: and he injured his thigh in that series.
- 9:38Speaker 3: But think about that for a second. You have a
- 9:39Speaker 3: team that's historically young and hadn't made the actual playoffs
- 9:46Speaker 3: since before COVID, that is in the finals, and it's like,
- 9:50Speaker 3: can you believe that they melted down?
- 9:52Speaker 1: I was like, well, kind of they.
- 9:55Speaker 3: It's hard to like simulate a pressure of an NBA
- 9:58Speaker 3: finals when you're that young and you've never been there before.
- 10:02Speaker 5: But what's ironically stupid about yesterday's result, last night's result,
- 10:07Speaker 5: is that there should have been no pressure. You're up
- 10:09Speaker 5: by an eternity. You're up by so much that the
- 10:11Speaker 5: pressure is off. The pressure's off.
- 10:14Speaker 1: You're up twenty nine. Yaka Perdle, Doka Purdle is the guy.
- 10:17Speaker 5: You're up so much that the game was to say,
- 10:20Speaker 5: here's how over the game was motion.
- 10:22Speaker 1: I pulled the mosha last night.
- 10:23Speaker 4: Well it was eighty one to fifty two, and I
- 10:25Speaker 4: turned it off.
- 10:26Speaker 5: I pulled the mosha last night. Third quarter third. I
- 10:30Speaker 5: waited till the end of the third.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Honestly, he did.
- 10:33Speaker 5: Ask my wife. We're sitting there, my wife, myself, and
- 10:36Speaker 5: my daughter. You guys want to watch a movie.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Sure, I go. The game's on.
- 10:42Speaker 5: Wife says that it's over. I know you're right, it's over.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Let's watch a movie. So we started watching Hail Mary.
- 10:48Speaker 5: Oh Project Tail Mary, Ryan Gosling and Hail Mary is
- 10:53Speaker 5: definitely what happened last night. Because I looked at my.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Snaw involve Aliens two, that'd be fitting with Lemby.
- 10:58Speaker 5: I looked at my phone and it was suddenly one
- 11:01Speaker 5: o five, one oh four knicks, and I thought it
- 11:03Speaker 5: was like, okay, somebody messed up. Oh no, thirty eight
- 11:06Speaker 5: seconds left, one o five, one oh four. Stop Hail Mary.
- 11:09Speaker 5: Now turn game on now.
- 11:12Speaker 1: They scored thirty total points in the second They scored, Dude,
- 11:15Speaker 1: they scored.
- 11:17Speaker 6: They scored more in each individual quarter in the first
- 11:20Speaker 6: half than they did the entire second half. Yeah, forty
- 11:23Speaker 6: one of the first, thirty five in the second. Thirty
- 11:25Speaker 6: total points in the second HALFIC.
- 11:27Speaker 5: Okay, young team, I get a young team taking dumb shots.
- 11:30Speaker 5: How much of that is being is having a young
- 11:33Speaker 5: coach who just did not.
- 11:37Speaker 1: He didn't say it's all of it. Yeah. I mean again,
- 11:39Speaker 1: I didn't watch the entire fourth quarter, did you. Nope.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I did the same thing you guys did.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Now, I was a little bit earlier to it than
- 11:46Speaker 3: one o five one oh four, but I did.
- 11:48Speaker 1: I was like, all right, this game's over. Started watching
- 11:50Speaker 1: something else.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Looked at my phone, saw people going crazy saying Nick's
- 11:56Speaker 3: are coming back. I go, what's the score? They were
- 11:58Speaker 3: down like eight? And I was like, all right, I'll
- 11:59Speaker 3: turn this. Couldn't believe what I was watching.
- 12:01Speaker 4: Dude.
- 12:02Speaker 6: One thing that drives me absolutely insane. It's not just
- 12:07Speaker 6: shot selection at times. Tell me if this happened last.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Night, slow the game down.
- 12:14Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 12:14Speaker 6: It also drives me insane when guys are hoisting up
- 12:17Speaker 6: thirty footers with.
- 12:19Speaker 4: Eleven seconds left on the shot clown, Hey what?
- 12:21Speaker 6: And I just I want to reach through the television
- 12:24Speaker 6: and grab them by their jersey and shake this. But
- 12:27Speaker 6: but but stop, tell me why this doesn't happen, and
- 12:31Speaker 6: then I'll gets to do it, and I just I
- 12:32Speaker 6: lose my mind.
- 12:34Speaker 4: Why doesn't the coach grab said.
- 12:36Speaker 6: Players and say, guys, you just took a thirty footer
- 12:40Speaker 6: with eleven seconds left on the shot clock.
- 12:42Speaker 4: The hell we got a twenty seven point lead. The
- 12:45Speaker 4: hell is wrong with you?
- 12:46Speaker 6: I repeat, repeent, the hell is wrong with you?
- 12:51Speaker 4: What are you doing?
- 12:52Speaker 1: Why? Why?
- 12:53Speaker 4: It's not just shot selection? Bro.
- 12:55Speaker 6: If you're taking a thirty footer with one second left
- 12:58Speaker 6: on the shot clock, but you've milked it all all
- 13:00Speaker 6: the way down, maybe I can live more that, guys
- 13:02Speaker 6: than this. You're leaving all this time on the clock.
- 13:05Speaker 5: They were up twenty with nine minutes and sixteen seconds left.
- 13:13Speaker 5: Think about this for a second. It's a twenty point
- 13:16Speaker 5: lead with nine minutes and sixteen seconds left. Let's go
- 13:22Speaker 5: through the shot selection showey at the nine minute mark?
- 13:27Speaker 1: All right?
- 13:30Speaker 5: Uh? When min Yama missed twenty one foot shot, not
- 13:33Speaker 5: even a three, a twenty one foot two?
- 13:35Speaker 1: Yeah, dumb shot? Do we agree? Dumb shot?
- 13:40Speaker 5: Missed Stefan Castle twenty foot shot again mid range, not
- 13:44Speaker 5: even a three, twenty foot shot. The lead is now
- 13:48Speaker 5: down to fifteen. How much time it's left on the
- 13:50Speaker 5: at that point, it's seven fifty When he misses the
- 13:53Speaker 5: twenty footer, Let's keep going down the line here, I'm
- 13:58Speaker 5: looking for missus by a turnover by Harper, a free throw,
- 14:05Speaker 5: another free throw, a three by the Knicks. Unreal, How
- 14:11Speaker 5: this lead goes from twenty to ten in a span
- 14:15Speaker 5: of two minutes and forty seven seconds.
- 14:18Speaker 1: So you know what's really crazy?
- 14:20Speaker 3: Do you know how many players the Knicks had in
- 14:22Speaker 3: double digit scoring yesterday?
- 14:26Speaker 1: Three?
- 14:27Speaker 3: Broxton had thirty six on an Noobia thirty three, Cat
- 14:31Speaker 3: had thirteen. Nobody else had more had double digit points
- 14:35Speaker 3: one five point.
- 14:36Speaker 5: Fifty four, left with a nine point lead, Vassel missed
- 14:40Speaker 5: three pointer. Then they come down and got the lead
- 14:44Speaker 5: to seven. They just keep cutting the lead, and the
- 14:47Speaker 5: Spurs keep shooting threes. For some reason, they keep shooting threes.
- 14:52Speaker 5: What did the Nuggets when the Nuggets were really clutch clutch?
- 14:56Speaker 5: What did they do late in games better than anybody?
- 14:58Speaker 5: Do you remember this when they had the lead? Do
- 15:00Speaker 5: you remember the way Joker and Jamal were so adept
- 15:04Speaker 5: at stealing seconds?
- 15:05Speaker 1: Oh yeah, don't pick it up.
- 15:10Speaker 4: I mean they would steal.
- 15:11Speaker 1: By the end of the game, it'd be a minute and.
- 15:12Speaker 5: A half of seconds they'd steal. Yeah, they knew, let
- 15:15Speaker 5: the clock tick. The Spurs did the opposite of that
- 15:18Speaker 5: last night. They did the opposite of that. They just
- 15:22Speaker 5: played as if we're good. Well they weren't good because
- 15:25Speaker 5: the lead kept shrinking and shrinking and shrinking, and even
- 15:29Speaker 5: when they regained it late Fox Trot decided, let me
- 15:34Speaker 5: go up again.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Yeah, unreal, unreal, crazy series is over. Yeah, and this
- 15:40Speaker 1: series is done. You congratch the knicks. I mean, that's
- 15:44Speaker 1: that's it. As much as I wanted them to lose too.
- 15:47Speaker 1: A lot going on today.
- 15:48Speaker 3: We have the the Joe Sackic pressure that's gonna come

- 16:33Speaker 3: there for about six months, move my entire life, didn't
- 16:35Speaker 3: know anybody, picked up, moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan, side unseen,
- 16:39Speaker 3: and six months in I get done with the show.
- 16:40Speaker 1: Open the door.
- 16:41Speaker 3: My boss is standing there waiting for me, and I said, Oh,
- 16:44Speaker 3: this isn't good. And uh, just like that, the show
- 16:47Speaker 3: is over, and it provided some sort of a precursor
- 16:52Speaker 3: or I should say life lesson on how this business
- 16:56Speaker 3: works that.
- 16:56Speaker 1: It can end just immediately.
- 16:58Speaker 3: And so with that, I will say my heartaches for
- 17:02Speaker 3: Marlow and Hastings and Demps, who are first of all
- 17:06Speaker 3: legends on the Nuggets broadcast and have been there for
- 17:11Speaker 3: you know, three plus decades of.
- 17:14Speaker 1: Bringing you all the game action.
- 17:17Speaker 3: It's it's a crappy business, but a fun one that
- 17:19Speaker 3: we're in, and those guys are the absolute best, first
- 17:24Speaker 3: class professionals I could think of.
- 17:27Speaker 5: Coming up a little later, We're gonna have a young
- 17:28Speaker 5: lady coming to the studio who I believe. She goes
- 17:31Speaker 5: to the University of Missouri, she's getting her masters in
- 17:34Speaker 5: broadcast journalism.
- 17:36Speaker 1: She wants to do what we do, wants to be
- 17:37Speaker 1: in this business.
- 17:39Speaker 5: And I'm gonna say the same thing to her that
- 17:41Speaker 5: I say to all young young kids who get into it.
- 17:44Speaker 1: You get into it.
- 17:45Speaker 5: You better get into it because you love it, not
- 17:46Speaker 5: because you love the money. Because you love it, because
- 17:49Speaker 5: the money will come. But it is why you're there. Well,
- 17:52Speaker 5: it will and if you're chasing it, If you're chasing it,
- 17:56Speaker 5: and it's the very reason you're fundamentally true, you have
- 17:59Speaker 5: to understand and that it's a roller coaster and it's
- 18:02Speaker 5: only a matter of time before your heart is broken
- 18:05Speaker 5: and you have to repair it and you have to
- 18:07Speaker 5: just move on. Because we have entered a business that
- 18:11Speaker 5: is purely and moje, I think you can appeal to this.
- 18:14Speaker 5: It's a subjective business in an objective world.
- 18:18Speaker 1: Sure, what we do for.
- 18:19Speaker 5: A living and how people think we do things for
- 18:22Speaker 5: a living purely subjective. So that means different people are
- 18:26Speaker 5: going to think different things. And sometimes if the right
- 18:31Speaker 5: people like you, you'll survive. If those people don't like
- 18:36Speaker 5: you or something you've said or something way.
- 18:38Speaker 1: You won't And that's just part of it.
- 18:41Speaker 5: And when I saw the news come down, just like
- 18:43Speaker 5: you guys did, my mouth was a gape because they're friends,
- 18:47Speaker 5: first of all, and I know what they're going through.
- 18:51Speaker 1: I don't know. You just mentioned you led this up.
- 18:53Speaker 5: We've all been fired, yeah, oh yeah, we've all been fired.
- 18:56Speaker 1: Yep.
- 18:57Speaker 5: In fact, if you're in this business long enough and
- 18:59Speaker 5: you haven't been fired, I would say you're probably.
- 19:03Speaker 1: One in a million.
- 19:05Speaker 5: Jim Nantz Jim Natz might be the only man I
- 19:07Speaker 5: know who's never been fired.
- 19:09Speaker 1: And maybe you know what, I take that back on
- 19:11Speaker 1: a us Jimmy.
- 19:12Speaker 5: There was a time where he wanted to do studio
- 19:15Speaker 5: and they put him out in the field to do
- 19:17Speaker 5: play by play, and he was gently told you're gonna
- 19:20Speaker 5: go do play by play. So I don't know if
- 19:22Speaker 5: you call that a firing, call it whatever you want.
- 19:25Speaker 6: But at some point, so they said we don't want
- 19:29Speaker 6: you here anymore, and studio we want you.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Moved him around. So at some point you're going to
- 19:33Speaker 1: get fired.
- 19:34Speaker 5: We've all been there, and it absolutely sucks at picks
- 19:37Speaker 5: at your confidence and knocks you down a peg or
- 19:41Speaker 5: two or three or ten, and you have to pick
- 19:43Speaker 5: yourself back up, remind yourself that it's a subjective business,
- 19:48Speaker 5: and go back at it.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Yep, these three guys.
- 19:51Speaker 5: Scott Hastings, who has been the voice of Nuggets basketball
- 19:54Speaker 5: for thirty years. He's still gonna be here at the
- 19:56Speaker 5: radio station. He ain't going anywhere.
- 19:58Speaker 3: He's doing some radio stuff for the Nuggets, our Nuggets
- 20:00Speaker 3: broadcast as well.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Chris Marlowe, who is a mentor of mine.
- 20:06Speaker 5: He taught me so much when I moved over here
- 20:08Speaker 5: ten years ago to the Nuggets side, to altitude. He
- 20:11Speaker 5: was so inviting, such a professional, such a class act. Still,
- 20:16Speaker 5: in my opinion, top of his game.
- 20:18Speaker 1: Love the man, Totally agree.
- 20:20Speaker 5: Chris Dempsey, a fellow Denver native who I had so
- 20:23Speaker 5: many conversations about Denver sports with in studio. I can't
- 20:28Speaker 5: tell you when you have these relationships, you form these relationships,
- 20:32Speaker 5: you don't want to see.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Them end, but eventually they will.
- 20:35Speaker 5: Guys, breaking news, one of us or all of us
- 20:39Speaker 5: is going to get fired on this show.
- 20:40Speaker 1: It's not going to last forever, and I hope it's you.
- 20:47Speaker 5: Very well could be, but I mean, you know, this
- 20:49Speaker 5: is where we are I'm not trying to make an end.
- 20:51Speaker 1: It sucks.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Yes, it absolutely sucks because Moje and I've told you
- 20:57Speaker 5: this before. Your job, your job is such an important
- 21:01Speaker 5: job as the play by play man for a team
- 21:05Speaker 5: in this in the city, because you are the voice
- 21:08Speaker 5: and the face of that team for as many years
- 21:10Speaker 5: as you do it, there will be kids that are
- 21:12Speaker 5: raised that watch those games through the prism of Mark Moser,
- 21:17Speaker 5: which a stuns me that you wear that facial.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Hair indo your lip. Because of that.
- 21:21Speaker 5: The point is you are, you have you will make
- 21:24Speaker 5: such an impression on a generation of people that grow
- 21:27Speaker 5: up watching that team. And that's what Chris Marlow was
- 21:31Speaker 5: in my eyes with Scott. You know, there's a half
- 21:34Speaker 5: there's a quarter century of Nuggets fans who learn the
- 21:38Speaker 5: game and watch the game.
- 21:39Speaker 1: With those two at the controls.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Exactly, go ahead, motion God started coughing, apologize.
- 21:50Speaker 4: Uh, your you're well what everything you've just said is
- 21:53Speaker 4: absolutely right.
- 21:55Speaker 6: I've been fired. You've been fired, you've been fired. We've
- 21:57Speaker 6: all in this business. When kids ask me, sometimes.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Only hasn't been fired yet? No, you want to get fired,
- 22:03Speaker 1: do for a good firing?
- 22:04Speaker 6: No?
- 22:05Speaker 7: Yes, sure, go ahead and fire, Yeah.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Yeah, keep going with that music every time.
- 22:09Speaker 6: Take your fluting. But people, I'll talk to kids. So
- 22:14Speaker 6: the scal is coming in. What you say at the
- 22:16Speaker 6: top of the hour.
- 22:17Speaker 5: I think at eight o'clock and they say to me,
- 22:19Speaker 5: it should be a good day for her. She's all
- 22:20Speaker 5: eager to get into this space.
- 22:22Speaker 6: I'm doing this. Do you have any advice for me?
- 22:24Speaker 6: I'm like, well, can you switch majors?
- 22:28Speaker 1: I mean, you don't want to say that now you
- 22:30Speaker 1: chase your dream. You chase your dream.
- 22:32Speaker 4: But okay, you.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Got to know what the business is.
- 22:35Speaker 6: But it's so much different than when we started to Uh,
- 22:39Speaker 6: it's just you've got to have a thing. I mean,
- 22:41Speaker 6: people tell you they hate you all the time. You know.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Social media has changed a lot.
- 22:45Speaker 6: It really happens, you got but the business has changed
- 22:47Speaker 6: in the avenues of quote, broadcasting and being in quote
- 22:52Speaker 6: the media.
- 22:53Speaker 4: That's changed as well.
- 22:54Speaker 6: There are so many more avenues than there used to be.
- 22:58Speaker 6: But it's it's not easy, and it's it's it can
- 23:04Speaker 6: end quickly, like you said, like that's usually how it goes.
- 23:08Speaker 1: You don't really see anything coming in this.
- 23:10Speaker 6: Base, correct, So so you do it and maybe it's
- 23:13Speaker 6: everything in life. I mean, maybe if you're making widgets
- 23:16Speaker 6: that can end as well. But it can it can stop,
- 23:20Speaker 6: the music can stop, and you're not to share quickly.
- 23:22Speaker 5: Because but you can where you become wired that way, Moja,
- 23:26Speaker 5: I'm gonna say something. You probably won't like it, but
- 23:28Speaker 5: that's why I love you.
- 23:29Speaker 1: Your humility. Not a Diego's by where Mosa doesn't think
- 23:32Speaker 1: he's gonna lose his job.
- 23:35Speaker 6: I can tell I have the rod Smith I'm out
- 23:39Speaker 6: of the rod Smith school of jobs.
- 23:42Speaker 1: We're fixing something Metter house.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Literally, this is a real conversation that I have to
- 23:46Speaker 3: have with my wife. You're doing a project at the
- 23:50Speaker 3: house that costs, you know, a decent chunk of coin,
- 23:53Speaker 3: and I go, I hope we're here long enough to
- 23:56Speaker 3: enjoy this.
- 23:56Speaker 1: Like it's the first thing that goes through my head.
- 23:58Speaker 5: I had this conversation with my kids. Least we are
- 24:01Speaker 5: sitting there watching a movie. We had to pay for
- 24:03Speaker 5: the movie. You know, you had to Yeah, I was like,
- 24:06Speaker 5: and I don't know, you're from now.
- 24:08Speaker 1: Her were gonna be able to buy this movie legitimately, though,
- 24:10Speaker 1: it's I just do that. We just I'll give you
- 24:13Speaker 1: an example.
- 24:14Speaker 3: We just bought a house in Nebraska before I get
- 24:17Speaker 3: the job offer here.
- 24:18Speaker 1: We're there for four months, head move and it's just
- 24:20Speaker 1: like you have no idea when the stuff is coming.
- 24:22Speaker 4: You know what.
- 24:22Speaker 1: We're not holier than now.
- 24:23Speaker 5: There are people that live day to day and of
- 24:25Speaker 5: course salespeople it's a different deal. You're based on the
- 24:28Speaker 5: numbers you produce. But they got to produce those numbers
- 24:31Speaker 5: that commission, You've got to produce those numbers. We're not
- 24:34Speaker 5: crying like, oh my god. Everybody has those challenges if
- 24:38Speaker 5: you're in the world. Really, I think everybody.
- 24:40Speaker 6: I mean in every job, there are yeah, there are
- 24:43Speaker 6: responsibilities in their expectations and you must meet them. It's
- 24:46Speaker 6: just it's just in this business, there's no anonymity about it.
- 24:50Speaker 4: It's all out there for everybody, and it's.
- 24:52Speaker 3: And it's this all the time, and it's this like
- 24:55Speaker 3: I will go to my graves saying I think that
- 24:56Speaker 3: Marl is one of the best in the business at
- 24:58Speaker 3: calling a game. I love Scotty's approach to being fair
- 25:02Speaker 3: but critical. And I'll be honest, I'm one of the
- 25:05Speaker 3: guys that I love the little digs at the refs
- 25:06Speaker 3: in the middle of the broadcast.
- 25:07Speaker 1: I love that taught stuff I don't know, and Scott
- 25:11Speaker 1: and Scott.
- 25:11Speaker 5: Scott's the kind of guy who over the years, and
- 25:14Speaker 5: I'm sure a lot of Nuggets fans will appeal to this.
- 25:17Speaker 5: You may not like the style, you may not like
- 25:20Speaker 5: the approach, you may think this or that. Everybody thinks differently,
- 25:24Speaker 5: but are.
- 25:24Speaker 1: You learning the game? Are you learning the game?
- 25:27Speaker 5: That's his job to teach you the game, and he
- 25:30Speaker 5: taught a lot of people in Denver the game over
- 25:32Speaker 5: the past quarter century. Chris Marlow, I'm gonna tell you
- 25:36Speaker 5: something because I filled in for Chris several times doing
- 25:38Speaker 5: play by play. It's not easy. I'm not a play
- 25:41Speaker 5: by play guy. I just I'm a filling guy. It's
- 25:45Speaker 5: not easy. He is a poet, laureate on that mic.
- 25:48Speaker 5: Yes he is, moch you do this for you know,
- 25:51Speaker 5: you know how good he is. Oh yeah, okay, he
- 25:54Speaker 5: is a poet. So I totally respect what he's done
- 25:57Speaker 5: and how he does it.
- 25:59Speaker 1: So I get it. Man, some people are pissed today.
- 26:03Speaker 1: I get it. It's not a fun thing to do
- 26:07Speaker 1: to say goodbye to friends.
- 26:08Speaker 4: Yep, it sucks.
- 26:09Speaker 3: So our heart aches for all of our friends, our brothers.
- 26:14Speaker 3: Dempsey Hastings and Marlow. But they are incredibly talented people
- 26:18Speaker 3: laying on their feet in no time. Now Again, Scotty's
- 26:21Speaker 3: still gonna be doing PhD. Is still gonna be on
- 26:23Speaker 3: this radio show or on this radio station. He's gonna
- 26:26Speaker 3: be doing some nugget stuff on the radio side as well,
- 26:29Speaker 3: So all of that will stick around. But hearts go
- 26:32Speaker 3: out to those guys.
- 26:32Speaker 5: Now, most if they told you you're fired, if you
- 26:36Speaker 5: ever again grow that hair under your lip, would you
- 26:38Speaker 5: abide by their new restrictions and rules.
- 26:41Speaker 1: Probably?
- 26:41Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gonna work that into your next contract.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Here's my Yeah.
- 26:50Speaker 4: But Vick, look over here, he's got I just don't
- 26:53Speaker 4: get it.
- 26:53Speaker 1: I don't get it because certain days you have it,
- 26:55Speaker 1: certain days you don't. What is it? What do you
- 26:57Speaker 1: base it on?
- 26:58Speaker 5: Like, look deep into that that camera, show people what
- 27:01Speaker 5: I'm referring to, because they can't see from that a
- 27:03Speaker 5: what what do you base like growing that?
- 27:06Speaker 1: Well?
- 27:06Speaker 5: You wake up certain days and say I'm going to
- 27:09Speaker 5: do this like white today.
- 27:11Speaker 4: Well, no, it's it's been. The thing is it's gray.
- 27:15Speaker 4: So it's what color?
- 27:17Speaker 1: What color would you call that?
- 27:18Speaker 4: Brett?
- 27:19Speaker 1: Yeah, God right, that was a good one. Does that
- 27:28Speaker 1: make you feel better.
- 27:29Speaker 4: It's been. It's been.
- 27:31Speaker 6: It's been for about a week. You just haven't seen
- 27:33Speaker 6: it or you didn't pay attention, so.
- 27:37Speaker 4: It grows in. You can't really see it that well.
- 27:39Speaker 4: I'm babe, a douche. I feel like a shirt just
- 27:43Speaker 4: for men. It's just from me. Maybe, I mean, it's not,
- 27:46Speaker 4: it's it's vic I don't know, Okay, whatever.
- 27:50Speaker 3: I have a question, mug for you. What's SAC gonna
- 27:54Speaker 3: say today? What do you think the theme of this
- 27:57Speaker 3: press is going to be?
- 27:57Speaker 1: At noon?
- 27:58Speaker 6: I can tell you what he's not going to say.
- 28:01Speaker 6: Go ahead, he's not going to say that Nathan McKinnon's
- 28:05Speaker 6: out there playing against seven players, five skaters in a
- 28:10Speaker 6: goalie in Twitter.
- 28:12Speaker 3: But would you I think Look, certainly a lot of
- 28:14Speaker 3: this presser I think is gonna be asked about.
- 28:16Speaker 1: First of all, the vacancy at GM. That's gonna be
- 28:18Speaker 1: one thing.
- 28:19Speaker 3: The other thing, I think a lot of this is
- 28:20Speaker 3: going to be the decision to retain Bednar for another year.
- 28:23Speaker 3: Because there's a lot of people that disagreed with that.
- 28:25Speaker 3: So what's the reasoning behind that?
- 28:27Speaker 6: Well, a lot of people that disagreed with that are
- 28:31Speaker 6: a lot of people who are emotional about their team
- 28:33Speaker 6: having lost.
- 28:35Speaker 4: Well, look.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Bias hand hand emotion. We're all biased in the show
- 28:41Speaker 3: because we like Bednar. Okay, sure, but it's a legitimate question.
- 28:45Speaker 3: Bennar has been here for a decade. It's been four
- 28:47Speaker 3: pretty disappointing finishes to the season. I think if people
- 28:51Speaker 3: felt that way, it's not like it's out of the blue.
- 28:54Speaker 1: I don't think it's right, but I don't think it's
- 28:56Speaker 1: out of the blue. Would be something I'd almost expect
- 28:57Speaker 1: from a fan base.
- 28:58Speaker 4: Can I can I explain something to both?
- 29:00Speaker 3: Like I think there's some Tampa fans that are looking
- 29:02Speaker 3: at John Cooper like, hey, thanks for the Cups, but
- 29:05Speaker 3: for straights excuse me.
- 29:11Speaker 6: I can assure you the responsibility of trying to maintain
- 29:16Speaker 6: a winning franchise, that responsibility is taken very seriously by
- 29:23Speaker 6: Joe Sakic. I can promise you that. I can tell
- 29:28Speaker 6: you that if he thought that the reason his team
- 29:33Speaker 6: lost to Vegas in the Western Conference Final, or the
- 29:36Speaker 6: reason his team has lost since they won the Cup
- 29:39Speaker 6: in twenty twenty two was Jared Bednar.
- 29:43Speaker 1: He would me here, that is correct. Yeah, no, I
- 29:45Speaker 1: totally agree, that's obvious.
- 29:48Speaker 6: Now you may think that Joe Sakic is wrong. You
- 29:51Speaker 6: may think that he doesn't know what he's doing. You
- 29:53Speaker 6: may think that, yeah, he's he's making all the wrong
- 29:58Speaker 6: moves nowadays. You may think that I tend to put
- 30:01Speaker 6: my trust in a guy who has a track record
- 30:04Speaker 6: in a history and understands this team like nobody's business.
- 30:08Speaker 6: That's Joe. So what's he going to say today? Well,
- 30:11Speaker 6: we'll find out. But if he thought that a coaching
- 30:15Speaker 6: change was the most important thing or easily that would
- 30:18Speaker 6: have beaten Vagas, I think you're going to see some
- 30:20Speaker 6: mitigating circumstances come out as to why maybe things didn't
- 30:24Speaker 6: go the way you wanted them to go.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you this, I think with Sackic in particular,
- 30:30Speaker 3: and I mentioned this shortly after the season ended, when
- 30:33Speaker 3: it came to talking about you know, is Bennar gonna
- 30:35Speaker 3: stay or go and.
- 30:36Speaker 1: Things are still up in the air.
- 30:39Speaker 3: He has a really unique perspective from the place that
- 30:43Speaker 3: he's sitting within the organization because I don't know how
- 30:45Speaker 3: many guys are first of all, the caliber of player
- 30:49Speaker 3: that he was back in the day and have gone
- 30:53Speaker 3: through the I won a Cup felt like in subsequent
- 30:56Speaker 3: years we probably should have won another one we didn't,
- 30:59Speaker 3: and then we finally got there again.
- 31:01Speaker 1: I think he is very uniquely.
- 31:05Speaker 3: In a position where he's like, literally, I've been here before.
- 31:11Speaker 3: I know exactly what the emotions are. I know the
- 31:14Speaker 3: disappointment that you feel. I also know that in the
- 31:17Speaker 3: middle of all the disappointment, we still had confidence we
- 31:20Speaker 3: could do that.
- 31:20Speaker 5: I have a question, do you think Joe will run
- 31:24Speaker 5: the show like he did before or will he lean
- 31:27Speaker 5: on one of those other assistants who was on the move,
- 31:31Speaker 5: who worked under McFarland, who has him nohow I.
- 31:36Speaker 6: Think if you're going to be a GM VIC and
- 31:37Speaker 6: he's gonna take over those roles again until I mean,
- 31:39Speaker 6: we'll find out what he thinks.
- 31:41Speaker 4: His time frame might be.
- 31:42Speaker 6: Maybe it's forever, maybe it's until they I don't know,
- 31:45Speaker 6: we'll get that kind of information. You have to be
- 31:48Speaker 6: hands on, I mean you have to. You have to
- 31:50Speaker 6: do the job how hands on though phone I mean constant, phone, constant.
- 31:58Speaker 5: Discose jobs hands on or it's not easy because the
- 32:02Speaker 5: president oversees everything. The GM worries about the team, and
- 32:06Speaker 5: there's stuff to worry about, there's stuff to take care of.

- 33:20Speaker 5: we doing these thirty for thirties. If you have a
- 33:22Speaker 5: great idea on a thirty for thirty, do the damn
- 33:25Speaker 5: thirty for thirty.

- 35:56Speaker 6: were together, Czechia and Slovakia, right there were one. They
- 36:01Speaker 6: were really good. They were a runner up a couple
- 36:03Speaker 6: times in the World Cup. They were really good, and
- 36:06Speaker 6: then the country's split. They haven't been good since. But
- 36:09Speaker 6: CHECKI is back and it's just interesting, you know, to
- 36:12Speaker 6: see these guys work their way through everything and then
- 36:15Speaker 6: suddenly get back on the world stage up.

- 36:19Speaker 5: My daughter works in La and she sent me some
- 36:22Speaker 5: photos outside of the stadium. There's just a zoo and
- 36:28Speaker 5: it's unreal what they're gearing up for.
- 36:31Speaker 1: Now.
- 36:31Speaker 5: I don't know how many people are going to show
- 36:32Speaker 5: up to these games, because did you hear this, this
- 36:35Speaker 5: latest rumor that FIFA held back tickets just to up
- 36:39Speaker 5: the annie the demands and now they.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Have excess tickets. Yeah, this is FIFA. Now we talked
- 36:45Speaker 1: about some of.
- 36:45Speaker 5: The corrupt organizations and sports, So we'll see how many people.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Show up to a lot of these games.
- 36:54Speaker 5: But they're forcing FIFA is forcing these stadiums to cover
- 36:57Speaker 5: up the emblems of any sponsors. So in Atlanta there's
- 37:02Speaker 5: that big Mercedes on the front of their stadium.
- 37:04Speaker 1: Yeah, they can't show it. You can't put the Benz out,
- 37:08Speaker 1: can't put the Bens out there.
- 37:09Speaker 4: But they got the Benz. It hangs down the roof,
- 37:12Speaker 4: but you can't.
- 37:12Speaker 1: Put it out front. It's so ridiculous. And I'm thinking
- 37:16Speaker 1: about Sofi. Is there an emblem on SOFI? I don't
- 37:18Speaker 1: think there is.
- 37:19Speaker 4: I don't I don't think there is.
- 37:21Speaker 3: So if they if Denver got a site, it'd probably
- 37:25Speaker 3: be at mile High right of course, where else is
- 37:27Speaker 3: it gonna So they'd have to cover up empower whatever
- 37:30Speaker 3: and all that any sponsors that aren't FIFA approved.
- 37:36Speaker 1: In other words, FIFA extorted.
- 37:38Speaker 4: Yeah, when the final final four.
- 37:40Speaker 6: Listen to me, when the NCAA tournament not then the
- 37:45Speaker 6: tournament was a ball arena. It's a coke deal, Coca
