  Speaker 4: the West Coast and early Wednesday morning on the East Coast.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Appreciate you checking out. The show. Lots to dive into.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: Of course, as I always say, ball on the brain,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: have plenty of football abnormal I think, correct me if
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: I'm wrong, abnormally.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Positive mini camp statements.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: We'll throw some audio your way. As far as that
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: goes a little bit of estrogen. In the show tonight,
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: a number of topics from the lady side of sports
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: I think are very interesting. Dive into a few of those,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: and we started off with some champions over here.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Huh.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: We crowned a champ on Tuesday night as the Florida
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Panthers win back to back Stanley Cups. Over the Edmonton
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Oilers and basically the entire country of Canada. I think
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: is what happened. Right there is Canada trying to win
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: a Stanley Cup for the first time since ninety three,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: did not happen yet again, and Florida goes back to back.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: This is actually the final call.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: You gotta love the final call of a Stanley Cup
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: series clinching win unless you root for the other team.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: Of course, this is on the Panthers radio network. Check
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: this out down to the final five seconds.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Re train down.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Cort Stanley staying in South Florida last year was greatness.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: This time it's historic.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: The Florida Panthers urt back to back Stanley Cup champions.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: Okay, now I have lots to say about this. First off,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: props to rats rain down. I love that. That's the
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: whole thing with the Florida Panthers. They throw rats, not
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: real rats, but just like fake rats on the ice.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: There was a hat trick for Sam Ryan Hart and
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: they actually scored four goals in the game, tied an
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: NHL record for the most goals in a Stanley Cup
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: final game. But they throw these fake rats on the
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: ice to get a hat trick.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: And so I love that.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Like at the end, you know they're about to win
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: the Cup and all these fake rats are being thrown
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: on the ice. Now that was that was spontaneous. That
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: was impromptu right there, rats rained down. It's a good
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: drop right there.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: But the end. Not a fan of the end.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: I swear these broadcasters and listen, I'm guilty of it too.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: It's you almost have to guard it against it because
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: it does help on one hand, you know, like if
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: you're doing sports radio play by play, it does help
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: a little bit to write a few ideas down. But
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I feel like in play by play especially, you can
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: tell when it's just so preorchestrated and you're like, that's
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: just not spontaneous. It doesn't feel like you're just in
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: the moment when you say something where it's like you
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: didn't just come up with that, clearly you thought about it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Like Jim Nance is doing the Super Bowl in Vegas
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: and he's like, all right, all right, I gotta think
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: of something here, regardless of who wins, if it's the
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: Chiefs or it's the forty nine ers, how about jackpot,
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: huh Vegas jackpot. Yeah, let's do that. He didn't think
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: of that right on the spot. There's no way, yeah, Vegas.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: So some of that stuff, I don't know. I don't know.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: Maybe I'm too picky when it comes to that, but
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I do love the spontaneous calls, and I just don't
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: buy that it was spontaneous to be like last year
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: was I forget what he said last year was something.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: This year it's historic something along those lines. I think
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: that was a premeditated call right there. That's a premeditated
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: call if I've ever heard one. But I don't want
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: to rain on the parade, which I am. I'm raining
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: on the play by play call. But the con smythe
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: trophy that is the NHL's very fancy way of saying
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: the MVP.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: This was the announcement on TNT. Here you go.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: It's only fitter that this year it goes to the
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: leading goal scorer Sam Bennett, yep, Sam Bennett Studeley throughout
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: the NHL playoffs, he wins the con smythe otherwise known
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: as the MVP. I think that's easier to understand. But whatever,
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: the NH plays by its own rules, it's fine, you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and Bennett was deserving, for sure, I thought Brad marshand
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: was tremendous in the final. He was on the short list.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: My guy, Bob Sergei, Bobrovski. He was awesome throughout the
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Stanley Cup Final. The goalie for the Florida Panthers, very
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: hard to score on, won a handful of bets just
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: playing his saves over. I think there was only one
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: game in the six game series where he went under.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: It was Game five. There weren't as many shots on goal,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: but that dude was just stopping puck after puck after
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: puck throughout the series. So shout out to Bob and
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: as far as Edmondson goes, what do you know, the
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: musical goalies thing? Not a great approach, Not the greatest
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: of approaches right there. They've done this throughout the playoffs
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: as well. It wasn't just the Stanley Cup Final. Edmonton
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: had been switching between Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard and
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: they got away with it earlier in the NHL playoffs,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: but not as much in the Stanley Cup Final. The
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: Cliffs Notes version, if you fast forward to the final,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: Game four wasn't going very well for Skinner. He gets yanked.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: Pickard goes in there and plays great. He stops like
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: twenty one of twenty two shots right around that, actually
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: twenty two of twenty three shots he stopped off the
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: bench in Game four, and so the Oilers are like, well,
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: deck with it, Let's roll with this guy. He's actually
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: stopping shots. Let's go with Pickard in game five. Game
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: five not as good, not as good for Pickard. Edmonton
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: lost five to two. So Edmonton's like all right heading
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: into Tuesday night Game six, backs against the wall, trying
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: to stave off elimination.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Right, let's go back to Skinner.
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Let's go back to the guy who we just revoked
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: all of his confidence from him. We just stole like
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: a thief in the night, like two games ago. You suck.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Let's get you out of the game. Now, you know
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: what I think. There's something about this Skinner guy. You
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: know last year when we were down three to nothing,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: we stuck with Skinner and bye gosh. He was good
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: for three straight games and we forced a game seven.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: So let's go with Skinner and he was not up
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: for the task. Panthers won five to one, had an
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: empty net goal, two empty net goals. But when Skinner
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: gives up three before all the Shenanigans late. It's just
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: not a great outing. So listen, I'm not mister Hockey
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: by any stretch, but I do know a thing or
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: two about confidence, and it's I understand the thinking.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: On one hand, where if Skinner stinks in game four
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: and this is go time, man, we need this game,
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and then you make the change, Pickard goes in there
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: plays awesome, Well, it kind of just rights itself where
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: you go with Pickard the next game and then Pickard
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: isn't any good and then you go back to Skinner.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: I get how we got here, but the end result
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: is that it's not shocking that Skinner didn't play great
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: on Tuesday night because you just benched him a couple
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: of nights ago. So it's not that shocking to me.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: I understand how it happened, why it happened, but that's
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: the aftermath.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: It's not just I think that's the thing.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: I think it's easier to get caught up in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: game to game scenario of a series instead of looking
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: at the series as a whole. And you know, the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: oilers made that change which in game four, just that
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: game itself made sense, but the series as a whole.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: If you're thinking, man, if we got to go back
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to I don't know if this dude is gonna be like, Man,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I've got all the confidence in the world right after
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: getting benched like a game and a half ago.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: So it might have affected his performance in Game six,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: but in any event, shout out to the Florida Panthers
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: getting it done. They are the champs back to back. Man,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: that's rough. When you lose in the Stanley Cup Final
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: to the same team in two straight years, that's that's
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: extra rough right there. That is, And especially in the
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: sport of hockey. I would feel like if I was
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: a die hard fan of a particular hockey team, I
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: would feel like, we are right on the freaking doorstep.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: We are right there, you know, like a goal here,
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: a goal there, a save here, save there, we might
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: have won this thing. I think that makes it even
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: harder to take, especially as a player, but as a fan,
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: you think the nature of certain sports like basket sometimes
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: these basketball games we just saw Game five the other night,
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Pacers lost by eleven points. You know that a handful
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: of possessions right there. You're not, Hey, if it just
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: that one shot, we would have had it. There's a
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: little bit more to that. I think this the nature
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: of the sports has a lot to do with the
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: heartache as well. And some of these Stanley Cup Final
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: games were just unbelievable off the charts. You know, Game
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: two was tough for Edmonton, could have taken a two
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to nothing lead, they lost in double overtime. And some
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: of these these games, they a couple of them got
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: tied up with like twenty seconds to go empty net situations.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: It was wild.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I think, all things considered, really good Stanley Cup Final.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I thought the end, like the the crescendo, left a
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: lot to be desired. You know, the deciding game, Game
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: six on Tuesday night, it's a five to one game.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: It's not a close game.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: That's that's a tough way to the series. I hope
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: that the NBA Finals don't end in similar fashion where
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: you want it to be.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Both game fours were tremendous NHL and NBA. That was
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the in the.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: NHL, that was the five to four Edmondson win. Edmonton
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: was down three to nothing in that game. They tied
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: it up, they took the lead, then Florida tied it
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: with twenty seconds to go to force overtime, and then
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Edmonton won the game. It was crazy, an insane win
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: for them. In the NBA Finals Game four, that was
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: the road win for Oksei're down by ten points in
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, they fight all the way back, dramatic
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: close to the game, going like a twelve to one
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: run in the final couple minutes, and they win the game.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: Game fours in both NBA and NHL were off the charts.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: And that's the crazy twist I feel with hockey. Games
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: don't bleed into each other as much. You know, they
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: seem to be pretty separate a lot of times. And
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: that Game four masterpiece for the Oilers. They fight back
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: from a three nothing deficit. They're down three to nothing
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: at the end of the first period. Down three to
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: nothing is like in football, you're down like twenty four
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: nothing or something right away. Good luck coming back from that,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: and they did. Edmonton came all the way back, won
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: this dramatic game in overtime. The series is tied up,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: they're going home, They've got all the momentum and boom
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: smacked right in the face. Oilers lose five to two,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and then again tonight five to one. That's pretty crazy.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Think about that too. If you're an Edmonton fan after
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Game four, you're watching that, you're down three to nothing
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: in the first period, You're like, this sucks. We're gonna
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: be down three to one in the series. Here we
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: go again. Not so fast. Edmonton comes back in epic fashion.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: They win the game. All right, we're cooking with grease.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: Let's go as the last game, Edmonton one. That's the
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: brutal nature of sports, right there, man, But that's the
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: way it goes sometimes in any event. Props to Florida.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: They get it done. They are the champions as they
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: do it in back to back fashion.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Right there, all right?
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox's your phone number,
• 13:26

• 14:46
  Speaker 4: just my nickname for Danny Danny G Radio. I thought
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: it was Danny Gradio for a long time. That's a
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: honest mistake by me. Yes, yeah, but I call him
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: DG for Danny G Radio. I'm like, Yo, DG, You're

• 15:27
  Speaker 6: I brought six different bathing suits and I don't know
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: which one to wear.
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: Is it gonna be like, uh, you know, like an
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: awards show where you keep changing outfits.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Is that the way it's gonna go?
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: It might?
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: It might each half hours a new Uh.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: That's what I was thinking, Like I could do an
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: outfit change every hour.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: Maybe that's the way to go. That'll always be memorable,
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: you know, definitely. I think you're a different person each time.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: But like, oh, Lorena's in the orange baby, No.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: No, she's not.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Gonna be like where's the girl in the two piece?

• 16:16
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna stop by. I guess they're
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: doing stuff all weekend. The gambling portion really caught my attention.
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: I was sure it did.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: It's like, come and gamble with us. We're gonna gamble
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: to the wee hours of the night. I was like, now, this,

  Speaker 3: So shout out to them.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: Hope you they have a great time here in Vegas
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: and do all sorts of fun stuff. Okay, so there
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: was some drama. There was some bad blood in the
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: w NBA on Tuesday night.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: There you go. You excited for this, coop?
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Some enthusiasm. Beautiful.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: So the Indiana Fever they were hosting the Connecticut Son. Now,
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: you might not care about the WNBA, you might not
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: care about women's basketball.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: It's fine, might not be your cup of tea. I
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: watched it all the freaking time. I do.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: And I was watching the game, well, I actually I
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: flipped over. I was watching the game and the Fever
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: brore up by so much I flipped over to the
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Liberty game started watching.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: They were in a they were in a.
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: Back and forth with the Atlanta Dream and Jeff Schwartz,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: I host with him on Saturdays here on Fox Sports Radio.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: He texted me and he was like, did you see
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the Sun try to punk Caitlin? And I said, no,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: I missed it. So I flipped over and saw that
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: it was a little bit of bad blood in that game.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: So the situation here is that Caitlin Clark, She's being
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: guarded by a Connecticut's Connecticut's son rookie named j. C.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Sheldon.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Okay, so Jace, she's doing her job. She's being up
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark, and she tries to swipe down on the ball.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: She accidentally swipes down on Caitlyn's face. You know, the
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: face got in the way of swiping down of the ball,
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: and so she rakes Caitlyn across the face and Caitlyn
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: she's holding her face and she kind of stumbles backward
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: into J. C. Sheldon, and so Caitlyn's like, get it,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: get off me. She kind of pushes j. C. Sheldon,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: you know, just not like a full on shove. It's
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: just like I just got hit in the eye or
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: the face, and now you're bumping into me, like, get
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: off me. So she pushes JC a little bit and
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: then that's what led to the little brew.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Haha, huh.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: You had Tina Charles rush over immediately she puts her
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: face near Caitlyn's puts her finger near Kitlyn's face, and
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: then Marina Maybray she ran over and she shoved Caitlyn
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: to the floor.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Ding ding ding.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: We got no holds barred action right here in the WNBA.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: So the third part of this was Tina Charles got
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: a tech. Marina Maybray, you got a tech for pushing
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Caitlin to the floor. And Caitlin Clark got a technical
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: foul when she just you know, you got hit in
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: the face and then she subtly shoved if you can
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: do such a thing J. C.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Sheldon.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: So the Indiana Fever, they're ticked off that Caitlin Clark
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: one got a technical foul and probably two that more
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: didn't happen to Marina Maybury. Now me personally, I don't
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: think Maybury should have gotten tossed. They always talk about
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: a flagrant two foul where it's wind up its impact
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: and then it's followed through like this was a.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Light shove by Marina Maybray.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: I don't think she should have gotten tossed for that.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: That's just me.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: The Indiana Fever clearly disagreed they were ticked off. She
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: did not get ejected for that. Now you fast forward
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: to the very end of the game, it's payback time, baby.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: So the same player, J C.
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: Sheldon, she's on a fast break, she's running right down
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: the floor and there's Sophie Cunningham. Now you might not
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: know Sophie Cunningham by name, but she catches headlines a
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: lot of times because she's a beautiful girl. She's a
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: blonde girl, very pretty. Sometimes you'll see her, I don't know,
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: videos are posted like hey, look at what she's wearing
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: heading into the WNBA game, that sort of thing. She
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: was accused of hooking up with the like a headhun
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: show with the Sun's slash Phoenix Mercury, the last team
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: she played for. Don't know what's true, but that was
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: in the news. Maybe you know her from that. In
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: any event, Sophie Cunningham sees J. C. Sheldon on a
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: fast break and she's like, this is a great opportunity
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: for some payback right here. So she grabs her by
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: the head and basically throws her to the floor. Then
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: there's pushing and shoving and all that sort of stuff.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: So a couple of injections, Stephanie White gets the gate,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: a couple of Sun players get ejected as well. So
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: it was a fun night in the WNBA. So aggressive, yeah,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: very aggressive. So a couple of things stand out. One,
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: it is still wild to me, and I don't I
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: don't think there's a great comparison. You guys are more
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: than welcome to throw a comparison my way. Can you
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: think of a superstar in a league that is targeted
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: by other players as much as Caitlin Clark is. I
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: can't think of another example of a superstar that is
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: targeted as much, you know, on the court, on the
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: field of play, whatever sport we're talking about, between the lines, right,
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: that sort of thing clearly targeted, not just this year,
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: even Tuesday night. It's the lightest of shoves by Caitlin Clark.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: She just got raked across the face, subtle shove of J. C.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Sheldon.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Immediately, Tina Charles and Marina Maybray.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: Are like, I can't believe that b were just did that.
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: Shovel to the floor like they are freaking ready to go.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: They cannot wait to put Caitlyn on her backside, you know.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: And this is a sort of thing that's happened last
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: year as well.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Was it Kennedy Carter then of the Chicago Sky Like
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: there was just a simple inbounds play, Caitlyn was about
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: to get the ball, and Kennedy Carter just ran up
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: and decleted her like it's I don't know, a slant
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: pattern in the NFL, and she's the defensive back or something,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: and Angel Reese jumps up starts clapping like crazy, Like
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: the animosity to Caitlin Clark really is next level.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: I've been trying to think of something that rivals it, and.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: If we're talking about physical play and being targeted that way,
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: I started to think about Michael Jordan back when we
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: had the Jordan rules with the Detroit Pistons, and I'm like,
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: is that even a decent comparison? Does that even equate?
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: And I don't think it's the same thing. I think
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: that Jordan. The Pistons clearly beat the hell out of Jordan,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: but a lot of it was within the rules, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: Jordan would come down the lane, go up to try
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: to score and they would plant him into the floor.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: You know, they.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: Would like gronk spike him into the floor. But it
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: was within the flow of the game. You're not gonna
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: see on YouTube some video where Jordan was about to
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: get the inbounds pass and you know John Sally just
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: comes over and decletes him. A lah Kennedy Carter on
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: Caitlyn Clark like you're not gonna find that. And so, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: Jordan was targeted by the Pistons, but it was in
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: a different way. It wasn't the same way with Caitlyn
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: where there's clearly it goes beyond. Like that's the weird
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: thing about these WNBA players. If they just came right
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: out and said it, I would respect it a lot
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: more if they just came out and said, yeah, I
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: just don't like her, don't like her, I don't.
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: I hate to say this. It's totally a girl thing.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: We're so catty like that. And with Caitlyn Clark being
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: the exceptional player that she is, Yeah, it's hard not
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: to do it, you don't you know we do it
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: passive aggressively, right, Well, well, we'll pull your hair.
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: In the locker room. But we're not gonna be like, oh, yeah, no,
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: I don't like her. No, she know, she's fine. I
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: don't not like her. She's fine.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: And that's what annoys me. Where it's you clearly did
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: they like her?
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: That's with her? They yeah, no, no, one actually likes her.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: And I would have more respect if they just flat
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: out came out and said it. No.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: They won't do that.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: I know they won't, but.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: That's why I don't respect it when they're like, oh no, no, no,
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: this is clearly just about competition, okay, all right, yes, Like,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: how is it benefiting you if it's just out of competition.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: If you just knock her to the floor before the
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: ball is inbounded, that's actually hurting your team. If it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: all about competition, that's a bad thing. It's all sorts
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: of others. If they just came round and said, look,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: I'm over all the tension this girl gets, it's too much.
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: I don't like it.
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: And yeah, if I got a chance to knock her
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: to the floor, I'm gonna take it. I would totally
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: respect that. But to Loraina's point, they're not going to
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: say that they're gonna play it off and act like, oh, no, no,
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: there's there's nothing extra on this. No, no, no, no,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: we're just sticking up for our teammates. No, we're just
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: you know, it's top petition, it's in the flow of
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: the game.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: It's BS. It's total BS frustration.
• 26:08
  Speaker 7: It's wanding their whole lives for the WNBA to matter,
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: and then it finally does, but it's only because of
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: Caitlyn and Clark, and that's all anybody actually cares about.
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: And then when they see stories that, oh, Caitlyn Clark
• 26:22
  Speaker 7: missed five games and nobody watched the WNBA for those
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: five games, you know, or for those five days or
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: whatever it was, then you know they're just they feel invalidated,
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: and somebody take their aggression out on her because she's
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: so much better than all of them.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: You're totally right, Coop, You laid it out where that's
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: a lot of the frustration is uh like, and Angel
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: Reese said this last year, she was like, they watched
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: for me too, right, Like, they're not just watching for
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: one player. I wonder who that one player was. She's
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: probably talking about Djona Carrington.
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: Now I'm just kidding. Of course he's talking about Caitlin Clark.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Right, she came right out out and said, you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: y'all watch for me too, like they want to have.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: The limelight as well.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: And yeah, you're right, Coop, there is so much animosity
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: where now the league is finally getting better ratings and
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: better ticket sales and it's getting some relevancy and and
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: they're like, we've been grinding for years, decades, and now
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: we're finally starting to get some limelight and they don't
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: like accepting that it's largely because of Caitlin Clark, and
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: a lot of people have a problem with that being
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: the way it played out, as if it's Caitlin's fault,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Caitlin's That's the funny thing, too, is for all this
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: drama that surrounds Caitlin, she's the least dramatic person ever.
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: She could easily make all this stuff way more dramatic.
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: And you know that makes them, I have that probably
• 27:59
  Speaker 7: in furiates them.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, you're right about that. Look at Coop just on
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: point tonight. Right, No, that's that's absolutely true. If you
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: are upset and you know you're trying to bring someone
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: down with you and they're just not taking the bait.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Oh that is annoying. That is very annoying. And yeah,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: I think there's an element to that as well. But
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: for all this drama that Caitlyn is connected to, she's
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: always downplayed it. She's always lessened the drama instead of
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: you know, when she's decleted by Kennedy Carter last year,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: she could have easily been like, yeah, that was a
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: cheap shot.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know what that was about.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: And just statement after statement after statement, Yeah, a bunch
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: of clowns on that team or whatever.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: She's just creating more and more drama. She's just like,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: you know, hey, yeah it happened. You know, we move on.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: She even said it on Tuesday night. There were questions
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: about Sophie Cunningham. Fair question It is my guy James
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Boyd in the Indianapolis area. Totally fair questions. But Kayln
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: just wants to talk about hoops. Is a little portion
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: of how it played out it, Fowl, you think it's
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: like defending Caitlyn or defending the team, or how do
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: you view just how it opened?
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: I do it as a flager. Fowl. That's about the
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: game too.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I mean, you guys came to basketball.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you think of just how you all
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: were able to pull in a second half Caitlyn in
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: particularly the Commissioner Cup Championship.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: That's guy.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: You all want to talk about that. Let's talk about that, right.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: So it's like she's not interested in extending the drama,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: if you will. She just wants to play basketball and
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: focus on hoops. She is the most like, can we
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: just make it about basketball?
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Can we just do that? And uh man, there's this.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Drama just surrounds It just keeps following her around.
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: It is wild.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: But can you come up with an example, Coop or Lorena?
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Can you think of any athlete in any sport, in
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: any league where the league targets that star athlete the
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: way the WNBA targets Caitlin or is clearly bent about
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: the attention and the accolades, the props that she gets.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: I can't think of anything even remotely close to this.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: No, not really, But I do have a comparison for
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: you and I guess they didn't really get that same
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: kind of treatment. But I wonder if it's gonna be
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: the same as far as the impact. I'm wondering how
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: close she is to like Ronda Rousey for example. Right,
• 30:41
  Speaker 7: So she came in was so dominant, like better than
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: everybody else.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Against tomato cans. But yes, go ahead, Yes, but that's because.
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: Wow, I'm having a flashback to like ten years ago
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: or whatever it was. No, but I mean it's because
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: it was still kind of like in its infancy, you know,
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: or like the popularity of of women's MMA fighting, you know,
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: was in its infancy, and then she came along, was
• 31:11
  Speaker 7: a superstar, and I feel like it kind of like
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: even after she's gone, it drove up the popularity of
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: women's MMA. You still you see you know, you know,
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: them making the the you know, the main card or
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: the main event all the time. And I wonder if
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: she's going to have that same effect, you know, after
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: after she's done in the w NBA, will that have
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: does you know she inspiring lots of you know, girls
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: that wouldn't have played basketball before, and it's going to
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: keep the w NBA up or is or is you know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: once she's gone or once she's washed.
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: Up, is it just going to go back to Sure? No, Yeah,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying right there.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: It's a little bit like like that accidental We're going straight,
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: that's not the one.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's a little like what you're talking about.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: It makes me think of the Steph Curry effect right
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: where stuff comes along. He's this brilliant talent. He's inspiring
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: a lot of young basketball players to play the game
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: or to try to play the game similar to him,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: like that, we're not trying to practice layups. We're trying
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: to practice logo threes. You're only nine years old.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Who cares? Like we want to do this.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: It's different because the NBA has been relevant for a
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: long time.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: But I hear your point.
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: You took it in a bit of a different direction,
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: which is fine. I just think with the Rousey thing
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: and I hear your comparison. I get it from that standpoint. Yeah,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: it makes me wonder, Well.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: I don't remember did other female MMA fighters back in
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: those days?
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: Did they all hate her? No? Right, no, not like
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: not like Caitlin.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: You didn't have comments of like, yeah, this sport has
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: been relevant for a long time. It's not just relevant
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: now because one player, you know, they never got that caddy.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Not to the same degree.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: It gives me a Drake and Kendrick vibes. Yeah, like,
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: no one needs to see it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, yeah, Well, feel free to hit us up
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: if you've got a comparison. I'm just thinking of the
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: way the WNBA just relishes, you know, like dropping the
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: people's elbow on Caitlin Clark if you will, during games,
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: and some of the comments that they've made that they're
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: clearly bent about the props and attention that this squirrel gets.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Is there a superstar in any sport, in any league
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: that's even remotely comparable to that?
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: I really can't think of one.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: I think Coop came up with a pretty good example
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: with Ronda Rousey, even though I don't think it was
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: nearly his caddy in UFC when she was doing her thing.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: But feel free to hit us up.

  Speaker 4: of the Oklahoma City Thunder. He scored forty points, he
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: went ballistic. It was the best game of his young career.
• 34:20

• 34:23
  Speaker 4: player to score forty points in an NBA Finals game.

• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Rage Show was. That's insanity. What No, it was like
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: I'm embellishing, but it was at least like four hundred bucks.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, then the it was like four point fifty or
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: something like that. I'm like, for a concert.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: I'm so used to metal shows where it's like twenty
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: five thirty bucks max general admission, go wherever you want.
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: It would have been worth it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: I would have gone. But man, that's that's a heavy
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: price tag right there. And COVID how.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: Much an usher ticket was, and he might feed you cherries.
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: Now that is worth it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: What's the most you've spent on a concert ticket, Lorena?
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: I don't like to spend money on concert tickets. I

• 35:58

• 36:01
  Speaker 5: I think I spent like eighty dollars on a Saint
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: John ticket.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: You know, I I really don't know what I've spent,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: but it's probably in that neighborhood.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think i've I don't know that I've hit
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: triple digits.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: What I don't know if I would.
• 36:15

  Speaker 4: around I was in Fresno at the time, so it
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: was like seven or eight.
• 36:42
  Speaker 7: That had to have been close to triple digits.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: I didn't pay for it.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: It was because it was a meet and greet with
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: the Lambs gotcha. Their album was coming out. I can't
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: remember what album it was. It might have been Wrath
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: at the time, I don't remember.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: But it was funny.
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: You just went into this room and they brought in
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: like the CD player and they brought in their their
• 37:03
  Speaker 4: latest album. He just sat there and listened to some
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: of the songs and then the band came in and
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: said what's up and took pictures with you. It's actually
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: pretty cool, but it was just very random. And that

• 37:16
  Speaker 3: It was pretty cool.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: But Coop, what's your uh, what's the damage you've suffered

  Speaker 4: financially for the most expensive concert?
• 37:28
  Speaker 7: It might have been. I mean that one was up there,

• 37:41
  Speaker 4: If that's the most expensive, that's I just I'm gonna
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: lose respect for you.
• 37:47
  Speaker 7: I mean, like I've paid over one hundred dollars for Metallica.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Well, you know that's worth it. I have no issue
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: with that.
