Speaker 5 (03:36):
Okay, So thank you to the Cleveland Calves, Old Donovan, Mitchell,
James Harden and the boys. Jared Allen who had a
great game last night. Yeah, thank you, thank you for
doing Americas work versus Canada.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, Orlando couldn't recover from that meltdown they had in
Game six, so that John, And congratulations to the Philadelphia
seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So the Calves, the Calves.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Advance, Uh crazy Brady gets to stick it to the
in laws who six.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Oh that's right, you're Celtics.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah. I was about to say it's a joke, you're
joking sarcasm.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, I was playing with them.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I could tell because that's in your family, right, the
Celtics are part of your family.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Deal Jonas's family.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I found that, well, you know Jonas, you know Jonas
Jonas Jonas.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean, what do you want when when three fifths,
so you're starting five, doesn't score.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
That's that's that's kind of tough billing, especially when you
don't have Tatum. That doesn't help.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But that's like if you followed that team over the past,
especially the Tatum Brown era, they just play with their
food too much in the postseason where there's games that
they'll give away or lose, and you go, oh, well,
they're making this a lot more difficult than it needs
to be. And it came back and bit him in
the ass because then when you do that long enough,
(04:56):
all of a sudden, an injury pops up. You don't
have Tatum for Game seven, and then Philly put it
on them early and they couldn't hit shots down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Make miss league. Joe l and B was coming off
of a apinducted me like, I ain't no bitch, Ain't
no bitch. I felt bad, but I came out here
and I gave it to the Celtics. My IP inducted
me didn't keep me from whooping on the Celtics, Like
what them boys should have been hitting home? Man, Like,
(05:25):
let's just call it what it is. A spade is
a spade the Celtics. I don't know what the conversation
is with Missoula after a meltdown like this of a series.
But the seventy six ers was not in a place
to be able to win a seven game series against
(05:46):
the Celtics with or without Jason Tatum. But but to
see it the way that it played out, you know
they were able to come back from down three games
three to one, Like three to one, they should have
handily cruised two even if you allowed it to get
close those last two games. You gotta figure out a
(06:10):
way to win if you're for what it's worth, if
you're still that team that can win championships. I just
don't know what the conversation is moving forward after a
meltdown like that. You can't be a team coming off
of fresh off of not too long ago winning a
championship and you get a team down that should be
(06:34):
down three to one in the series and you can't
close out that series that. That's very damning if you're
the Celtics. That's my take. It's never happened before. It's
never happened. Yeh one.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
By the way, Tatum was explaining, Lvar, did you have
this too? Because Tatum was explaining that his right leg
is still shorter than the left because the Achilles.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, I don't. I wasn't aware of that. What is that?
I don't know, man, I don't know and problem, And
for what it's worth, I never even thought to measure
the length of my legs ever, outside of getting some
pants and getting my end seam and all that stuff.
But I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Yeah, you know, end scene, baby,
(07:24):
ye make sure that you gotta make sure that seat
is good too, you know what I mean. I'm just
trying to figure out why the guy's leg is shorter
than the other one. Why is that? I don't know why?
And why would you announce that? I don't know, That's
what I'm saying, like not.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Upon further review, I'm looking at it going, well, maybe
this isn't great because.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Maybe they got confused and there was that was the
same length, and then there was one that was just
it's a great point. I mean, why have why had
three legs the same length when you only need to
just I've never heard of that before, to where an
(08:04):
achilles injury results in a guy's leg shrinking, Like, I
don't see what's happening there. That's why I cross over works.
So good.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
God, Okay, here's some research.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Only about ten percent of people in the population actually
have exactly equal leg lengths. Around ninety percent of people
have some degree of l D, which is called leg
length discrepancy.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
The average difference is about five.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Millimeters for one such Joe Theisman is famously known for
having a shorter leg after the injury. Correct, Like, I
don't know, Yeah, look it up, I believe, and no,
I am clot that before y'all want to go there,
I've got a real life example.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
The chopper needs both knee replacements, and I think he
contemplated getting both done at the same time, but then
the doctor maybe talked him out of it because of
his age and the surgery of rehab, et cetera. So
so he didn't but both of his legs Like you know,
as you get older, some of the guys get like
bow legged over time.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, so crazy bow legged exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So he was like very bow legged.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
So he got the one knee fixed, probably didn't do
the rehab way he should have, which was a shock
to no one in our family or anyone who knows Chopper.
But what he didn't realize was it straightened his leg
out so much.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Then his one leg is like it's significantly longer and
and his other legs like still very bow legged. So
like he almost if you watch him walk, he almost
walks diagonally if he's not paying attention because of the
one bow leg. Every time he takes a step, it
like veers him a little bit left.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
So he's constantly like re like course recorrecting as he walks.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
I feel bad for him, but at the same time, like, again,
this is a man who he maybe did.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Like two weeks of rehab maybe three at most, and
was like, I'm good. And that is not for anyone
who's had a knee replacement what they tell you to do,
especially when you're in your seventies.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And we all tried, but it was like riding a motorcycle.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Honestly, I swear to God, like three weeks after going
to get knee replacement. So for him, I guess I'm
not sure, but again, pretty common actually, like I apparently
pretty common that you've got one leg longer than the other.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The one foot bigger than the other. Seems like it'd
be a pain in the ass too, I have a
longer foot. Do you do you have to buy sad
when you're buying shoes?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I just I just I got used to it. I
just got used to wear thirteen. Yeah, I mean I
think my left is a fourteen and my right is
a true thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
My right could actually size off.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's not like close, it's close. It's close. It's a half,
it's a half. But I've all I just taught myself
to wear thirteens, so everyone, and I think that's why,
you know, because I didn't want to put that pressure
on my parents. Right, like I go, you can also
get more.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You can also get like.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Nicer shoes than thirteens, like they most company stops at
twelve or thirteen's.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, not the and these days they do a little
a lot better. But yeah, when we were growing up, yeah, absolutely,
thirteen was the cutoff. Yeah, that was like you went
from cool shoes to like, come on, man, it was
it was like the men like, let me go to
the back and see if we can find a fourteen
for you. Come back out with some herm and Monsters
(11:32):
or something like that. Man, what are you doing? Man?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
No disrespect to the store, But like the Men's Big
and Tall, like you went from like cool clothing, like
everyone's wearing like nice and most well fitted, and you're like,
now I'm in Men's big and Tall, which if you're
like tall, the shirt's.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Too wide, too too wide.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Yeah, the shirt's not long enough. It always that's the
problem about the Men's Big and Tall. You always fit
one of the two, not both.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
So if you have to be taller, you were getting
screwed out with basically wear like a parachute.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
For a shirt.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's very true you had Herman Monster shoes. Jonas and
I knew it. As soon as they measure my foot
they'd be like, oh, look, you know, let's uh And
I think that's that's why. Back so you're gonna start asking, well,
why didn't you just get a fourteen? Right? If your
foot was measuring closer to a fourteen but your right
(12:23):
one was measuring more of a thirteen When they when
they measure, they'd be like, oh, what's close to a fourteen?
And I'd be like, all right, you got the they
go they come back like, yeah, we don't have that
Jordan in your size, or we don't have that air mat,
or we don't have that in your side. I'd be like, okay.
Then they go in the back, like, let's look for fourteen.
(12:45):
They come back and it was straight up herman monsters,
like what are these man?
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Like?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
How did they put a Nike? How did Nike allow
them to put a Nike switch on this shoot? Now?
And that was when I decided I was going wear
thirteen no matter what. Like I wore thirteens, so I
learned how to wear thirteens. My right foot could actually
fit snugly the way that my left foot fits in
the thirteen into a twelve, So go fit damn. But
(13:15):
now y'all realize, y'all wonder why I You know, I
don't wear socks and I don't wear shoes. I take
my shoes off all the time. It was just a
habit that I built because my left foot would be
so uncomfortable. This is a wild story. Maybe this is
the first time I'm ever even telling it. But yeah,
I never I never got For a long time, I
(13:36):
couldn't get used to the fact that my toes would
go numb and not thirteen, so I take them off,
Like anytime I get a chance, I'd take my shoes off.
Cleat you do thirteen still and just wear that? Yes,
I did thirteen. Yeah, and got used to it, like
I've worn thirteens like that became my thing. I wear
(13:56):
thirteens like that was it. Every once in a while,
I get bold and be like like you said earlier,
que I go half, Like if you got a thirteen
and a half, Like I'd always say, that's the first
thing i'd start off with. If you got a thirteen
and a half, I'll take a thirteen and a half.
But in the type of sneakers that I wanted to get,
they really didn't have a half size in the thirteen.
(14:19):
So it's like like like it was it, Thirteen's was
that cutoff? Like if you didn't if you didn't make
it into thirteen, then you transitioned into that outer beyond
of the Herman monsters. So there you go. Yeah, true story.
Even like the air Maxes I found a pair of
Airmaxes one time that were fourteen looked nothing like the
(14:41):
regular size. And I used to have jealous like moments
with dudes that came to school and their sneakers look
so good, and I'd be like, man, mine don't look
like that. So at one point I was like, you
know what, I can achieve something like that with Like,
you don't even want to see what a Timberlin looks
like in a fourteen, Bro, you don't want to see that.
(15:03):
You don't want to see it. It's just it's a
different field. Man, what's the material? I don't know, Man,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
They don't look any different at Timberlin.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes they they don't, Yes they do. Maybe it was
my mental block. I know, buddy, I know, I know
you got a big foot. I'm just telling you for me,
maybe your experience.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Maybe I think that's why I wore lugs when I
was when I was younger, because maybe they didn't have
like a fourteen.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Maybe it looks stupid.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Yeah, us before I think they had in fourteen.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Lugs and lugs look like herman monsters do like But
I you know, but you you find a way to compensate.
I went thirteen. I chose thirteen.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Well, let's get back to basketball for a second. So
real tonight tonight we kick off two game ones. Obviously,
have these Sixers Nicks? Yeah, I mean I feel like
the seventy six ers were.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Kind of playing.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
They're hot right now. I talked about their ton Embiid,
he's tough to stop tires. Maxie's played phenomenal. I don't
know I got The Knicks are such a physically imposing team.
I'm not really sure what to make of it. I
think I make it with house money here and just
roll with the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The Knicks are favored to win the East. I'm hoping
it's not the Knicks. Their fan base is obnoxious. The
celebration of the n season tournament last year, getting past
the second round, all that stuff just irritated me.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So I'm hoping it's not the Knicks. But I ain't.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No bitch line from Joel Embiid actually started with his
feud and back and forth with Karl Anthony Towns, so
we are going to get that. So that's gonna be
a that's gonna be a fun environment.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Well, the other one in the West is the Spurs
taking on the Timberwolves game one tonight. I don't see
the Timberwolves beating the Spurs, dude, I.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Mean, I just, oh god, no. It might be it
could be experienced that leads the Timberwolves over the Spurs.
That would be the only reason. But the way Wenby
and the rest of them are are playing, it's and
you don't you're shorthanded. Obviously, if you're the Timberwolves, you shouldn't.
(17:22):
You shouldn't be able to. But they closed out the Nuggets,
and they shouldn't have been able to close out the
Nuggets without two of their better players and obviously their
best player, and at so I think they got a
fighting chance. I get I think they got a puncher's chance.
I think the bigger storyline here is the Cavaliers. They're
playing against a team that found their way against the Magic,
(17:45):
and it was improbable. There's no way the Pistons should
still be in the playoffs after that, you know the
deficit that they had in Game six, but they nonetheless
did it. And the Calves, like the Knicks, who are fair,
they don't finish out playoff runs. Like Donovan Mitchell is
(18:08):
not a he has never finished out a playoff run.
The New York Knicks have never literally have never really
finished off playoff runs. I would be betting against the
pissed against the Cavaliers and and the and the New
York Knicks if I were a betting person because that
(18:30):
their resumes aren't very good.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
No disrespect to these four teams, but it really doesn't
matter who comes out of the East, you know it
just it's gonna be or San Antonio that's gonna win
the title. And I don't see anybody in the East
that poses any sort of real threat.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I really don't. If San Antonio gets a championship this year,
the league should potentially be on notice. I mean, this
is supposed to be like a grow up year for them,
like get experience and you know, mature into a team
that can actually contend for it in the upcoming seasons.
(19:12):
Like next year was supposed to be the start of
the Spurs being that that team and Wimby being the
MVP that was supposed to be next year. But they
are playing at that level now, man, So it'd be
interesting to see. But okay, see, man, they're they're I
think the Lakers are feel good story and people keep
(19:34):
counting them out. But I'm just telling you, man, they
just it's just there's a weird feeling. There's this sense
that the Lakers should not be counted out. I'm just
saying they shouldn't be counted out. Well, all kind of out, Okay.
I think if nobody else wants to, I'll do it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I feel like you, Petros Priace mothers want to put
them the sleep sleep. Speaking of sleep, the great sleep
we deserved as a mattress firm or sleep experts, will
match with a temper peed designed to absorb all that
loving and commotion and the movement so you're.

Play of the Day.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Tyson Left of the lane hits the brakes, then now
he'll float no.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Hell and with the follow popped it home.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Share it all and went right to the rim and
knock to batch in.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
He's got a double.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Double calves radio network on the call. That is your
tire ract play of the day. For over forty years,
ty Rack's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Shipped fast and freedback by
free road has a protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com. The way tire
buying should be. So on Friday, we did our wheel
of horses. We spun a wheel for two roles. This
(22:09):
is such, so we did uh the Kentucky Oaks, and
then we did the derby, so for starters with the Oaks.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Uh, it went a little something like this.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I spun and got Percy's bar who finished seventh. Brady
pulled Counting Stars who finished third. Lebar pulled prom Queen
who finished fifth. Uh, Patty, at least at least prom
Queen ran. You know, yeah, I meant pass the different race.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm saying. At least Queen ram Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Patty, Patty's horse meaning finished second. So good for him.
Uh and uh and Mark, who was filling in for
Loraina Brooklyn Blonde finished dead last. All right, so you're thinking, man, Mark,
that sucks. And then you get to the derby.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Oh gosh, I didn't even get in. I didn't even
have a change my horse. Right to party, scratched the
bar's horse, the Puma, Brady's horse, Great White, flipped over
at the gate.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, we almost got there. We were almost there.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Boys.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
By the way, did you see how massive that horse looked?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Oh my god, it was like.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
If there's ever been a horse, if there's ever been
a horse.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
The derby that I'm watching going, I just want to
see what this colossus can do. It was what four
inches taller than the next tallest horse the Derby. I mean,
I don't again, I don't know if the thing would
be able to run at all or not. Although the
odds for Great White I believe before he got scratched.
We're somewhere in the ballpark of golden Tempo, so it's
(23:51):
not like it he couldn't have, you know, competed. But
that was the biggest shame, seeing all this potential dump
out before they even get into the gates.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I don't. It's karma, is what it is.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Our show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well, look, we've pointed out, you know, some of the
issues with horse racing. Yeah, like Santa Anita, you know,
which is basically a graveyard for horses, white tent jokes,
pe ds experience.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You know, we've pulled out you know, we've Jonas jokes
about it. Well, look, you joke about it.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
To Levar's point, there's no one who's sent more horse
to the glue factory than you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Okay, Bob Bafford might be a close second.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
With pleasure though, like you do it with glee in
your voice.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know, twenty twenty of those morons died at Santa Anita.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right, that's not my fault. I'm reporting the news. Now.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Have we maybe taken liberties with that story and run
with it for some content?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah? Yeah, No, you don't say we we we, You
don't say we bro we not me. Okay, it's we
not me. Oh my gosh. And then oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And then the other part of it is, look, when
you give a Kakamemi excuse that your horse tests positive
for a band substance and you blame it on the
guy cleaning, Uh, the barn for urinating on the hay
that the horse ate. I'm sorry those are going to
become with some jokes. It's just it is what it is.
We don't we don't make this stuff up. We are
(25:28):
simply reporting the facts. But all of that leading to
every one of our horses getting scratched and Brady's flipping
over like it's a canoe in the middle of a tsunami.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
When you guys were watching this take place, because my
kids and I were watching this together. You're right trying
to teach him a little bit about odds, you know,
there's some math involved the horses, et cetera. They're like, so, Dad,
is the horse going to race still? And I'll set
thine in the back my head. There's no shot in hell.
These horses are way too expensive. It probably feels like
(26:05):
it's spooks, so there's there's no reason to put it
back into the gates to see what it can do
or try to get in the gates. But I was like, oh, yeah,
you know, I'm gonna check him out, make sure he's okay,
and you know, see if he can tough this.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
One out full well. No, I was screwed so well
it was disappointed.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It was good for them to watch because in one
hundred and fifty two years, one hundred and fifty two races,
the first time a woman trainer has won the event. Like,
that's Can I ask that's?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I mean I think that's pretty cool. Man. Yeah. Can
I ask you a question? There's hope. Can I ask
you a question? Why does that matter? It does matter? Bro?
Why it does matter? I mean, I know you're a
white man. Well, and that's generally a white man statement,
say to me, but for what it's worth, like a
(26:58):
woman being able to win a race where it's male
dominated by the trainers and one hundred fifty two years,
Jonas like one hundred and fifty two years and it's
never happened.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But but whill now that's crazy. Okay, But why is
it dominated by males? Why is that the case?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm not going to see that. No, no, no, I'm
not No.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I'm asking if it's you know, if it was I
could understand. If we're talking about an actual partaking in
the event, whether it be the athlete whatever, I can
understand that. But to me, it's hey, trainer, awesome, great job,
that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I don't. I don't understand. The trainer is literally the
number one the number one item that has to be
checked off the list in being a competitive horse racing team.
Like it's the trainer and then it's the jockey, and
obviously the horse is super crazy important, but you your
trainer is the most important element of what you're going
(28:06):
to have. They tie the horse and the jockey together.
They know how to run the horse, they know how
to to prepare the horse, they know the horse's mannerisms.
They they what the horse needs to eat.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
When it's just I don't know why you're asking this question,
and I'm not even a horse expert on stuff like this,
But I mean, if you don't, that's why there are trainers.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's why are so important. I understand that. But I
look at it and I go, I don't. Whatever the
gender is, if you're a great trainer, you're a great trainer.
And she's clearly a great trainer, but.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
There's other elements to that. She's not the only female
trainer that's ever been a part of training horses, for one,
and for two, there are other elements involved in that play.
When you're talking about being in certain into and the world.
I don't like going down this road because then you
got to go into the whole inclusion thing and how
(29:08):
to know.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I just I look at it and I go, that's
that's a great trainer who did a phenomenal job. The
jockey did a great job. The race was unbelievable. I
just to me, I look at it, and I go,
that's just a great trainer, like man woman what that's
just a great trainer who did an outstanding job with
the horse. And to see the way that horse was
in virtually dead lass and there's an aerial shot of
(29:29):
the race where you can see the horse making a run,
and I looked at it and I'm like, there's no
way that horse is going to make that make up
that much ground and did and ended up winning that race.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It was unbelievable. I mean, well, that's a good pivot. No,
that's not a good I saved Jona. I look. I
look at it, and I go to me, I don't.
I don't view all matter. I don't.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I don't, I don't view I don't view it being well,
you know it's a woman who did it. I just
know that's a great trainer, like man, that's a great trainer.
She did a great job and and I just that
that that was my thought on it. But okay, at
least the horse ran, which is really the wind for everybody.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That was the wind. Man. There were five horses. That's
a great pivot there too, you know, yeah, they you know.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And three of them were ours and Brady's fell over
and knocked his power out.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And it's unbelievable what happened there. It happens, man, But
shots out to Sherry de Vaux, I think, is the
way you say it good for her? No matter what
Jonas said, that to me is the biggest story of
the race of of the day if you ask me,
you know.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
But there's there's higher powers at play, that's all I know.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
After what just took place, and after what took place
this past Saturday, there's someone else to get us.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Really, here's that us again? What what happened? Well?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Man of this too?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Because because the puma went out, I listen, I thought.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Okay, let me ask you this, Well, if you weren't
a part of it, why would your horse get scratched too?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, you're right in that regard. And I thought
you might have been talking about what you were overcoming
to to get back into the conversation, I say, mind, I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Saying, that's the part of it, buddy, this is a
part of it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yes, on the fourth, So someone from the dark side
is is it somebody's leveraging the force against us? I listen, all,
this is what I know. If the horse is not
feeling well, puffy, I guess the report was he was swollen.
The leg was swollen. He might have been getting it in,
(31:45):
might have got caught up, you know, saw something out there.
You know, some some loose mayor was around. I don't know. Man,
one of his legs was a little bit longer than
the other one that was measured. You know, next thing,
you know, his leg is swollen and puffy. Look, I
don't I don't know. I don't know. But they helped
the puma out and that's that's what it is. But
(32:07):
maybe things are working against us a lot of scratches.
But I would ask the question to you guys, and
I know we're up on it, but I would ask
the question, should there be more of a conversation about
horse safety and and what's going on? Like some people
(32:27):
blamed it on the surface, some people do. Yeah, we
for for football, right, for football, right, so and I'm
gonna make the comparison. And even though.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
People would like for horse safety.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh, we did talk about horse safety. But he remember
we were doing we were doing reads for forgetting your
surfaces changed, and we had long conversations about why do
soccer clubs have nice, clean, grassy surfaces while you know,
then flayers have artificial turfs, and we're talked about those things.
(33:05):
Is there if, like so these horses that scratched were
big name horses. If we're going into the day of
the Super Bowl and you get several scratches because they're
they're not healthy for one reason or another, how much
up in arms would people be over those guys not
(33:28):
playing due to I mean, we just had Tatum do it.
But if we were in in the Super Bowl and
the day of it happened the same exact way where
you had several key players not not played due to
what they've been dealing with surfaces, surface issues, that would
be there would be a serious issue and Roger Goodell
(33:50):
would have to handle that serious issue. If if the
surface was the reason why these these guys weren't playing
so why why should it be any different.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Because I mean, I don't know that it's necessarily just
the surface. I also think strenuous, strenuous activities that and
maybe what you know, what what the horses are being
given also maybe may impact some of that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
But even but even add that into it, even the
performance enhancements are the medications and stuff like that, it's
always changing. These things are always changing, the anti doping.
They're always looking for what's the next thing that's on
on the list of things that are being used to
stay ahead of the curve of testing. Like I'm just saying, man,
(34:37):
I feel like there's should after this one. There should
be questions about like how how it's it's set up,
the amount of races, the amount of running these horses
are doing, how they're how they're handled, how they're tended to.
That's a lot of scratches. And not to mention we
you know, there have been deaths, like some of these
horses have died. Yeah, bringing there, that's kind of crazy, man. Crazy.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Guys, some sad news to report here, especially sad for
one member of this show who lost somebody near and
dear to them. We say goodbye to Spirit Airlines, who
man up and vanished like a fart in the wind
over the weekend. Just decided. You know what, that's it, everybody. Yeah,
(36:47):
some people showing up to the Fort Lauderdale Airport for
their flights and they're like, yeah, that airline doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Oh wait, what.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
The most appropriate end to anything I've ever heard of
my life is Spirit Airlines just upping and deciding to
cease operations in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
You said it was coming, killing their spirit.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I unfortunately for those who are impacted by it, I
feel bad for you. I've been stranded traveling many a time,
and it's difficult.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
It's tough. I get that this hits home to me
for a number of reasons.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
One, I used to live in Fort Lauderdale for you know,
fifteen years, and I loved that place.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
I love that airline.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I know there's been a lot of negative experiences for
other people. But I got to tell you, I found
it wildly entertaining and if you needed to get somewhere
direct that was cheap.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
They had the plan for it. Now.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
Unfortunately, there are some lawmakers I won't name any in
particular outside of Elizabeth Warren who absolutely squashed a merger
from coming together in particularly Jet Blue.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
She was all over that. And now we don't have
those those float actions anymore.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
So I'm hoping there's something that is able to fill
in for the gaps and replaces Spirit Airlines. Don't ever
expect it, though, to be as wild as some of
the gates and the fights and the you know check
in with the to get your check in your luggage.
Don't expect any of what we had in the past.
(38:20):
But it was glorious. It really was like Spirit Airlines.
When you needed something to you know, make your social
media feel a little more exciting, they were always there
for you. When you needed someone to charge you to
use the bathroom all right, or just to give you
a cup of water, there was Spirit. And if you
wanted someone to say, hey, we've got Wi Fi on
(38:42):
this flight, and as soon as you boord say, you know, what,
but it's planes too new and it hasn't been installed yet.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
If you want some.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
Airline to lie to you and tell you that every
single time, Spirit.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Airlines was your airline.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
If you wanted a seat that wouldn't recline, you go
to Spirit, all right. If you wanted someone handling the luggage,
just toss that thing like a sack of potatoes.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
That was Spirit air Lines.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
By the way, the one the one time I took
it and had an ashtray in the arm rest.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Oh wow, like really, oh wow,

Congratulations Bradent their work.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Come on, this is America's work.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
We're just making sure Canada doesn't have any part of whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
In a professional sport.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Okay, So thank you to the Cleveland Calves, Old Donovan, Mitchell,
James Harden and the boys. Jared Allen who had a
great game last night. Yeah, thank you, thank you for
doing Americas work versus Canada.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, Orlando couldn't recover from that meltdown they had in
Game six, so that John, And congratulations to the Philadelphia
seventy six ers.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
So the Calves, the Calves.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Advance, Uh crazy Brady gets to stick it to the
in laws who six.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Oh that's right, you're Celtics.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Yeah. I was about to say it's a joke, you're
joking sarcasm.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, I was playing with them.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I could tell because that's in your family, right, the
Celtics are part of your family.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Deal Jonas's family.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I found that, well, you know Jonas, you know Jonas
Jonas Jonas.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I mean, what do you want when when three fifths,
so you're starting five, doesn't score.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
That's that's that's kind of tough billing, especially when you
don't have Tatum. That doesn't help.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But that's like if you followed that team over the past,
especially the Tatum Brown era, they just play with their
food too much in the postseason where there's games that
they'll give away or lose, and you go, oh, well,
they're making this a lot more difficult than it needs
to be. And it came back and bit him in
the ass because then when you do that long enough,
(04:56):
all of a sudden, an injury pops up. You don't
have Tatum for Game seven, and then Philly put it
on them early and they couldn't hit shots down the stretch.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Make miss league. Joe l and B was coming off
of a apinducted me like, I ain't no bitch, Ain't
no bitch. I felt bad, but I came out here
and I gave it to the Celtics. My IP inducted
me didn't keep me from whooping on the Celtics, Like
what them boys should have been hitting home? Man, Like,
(05:25):
let's just call it what it is. A spade is
a spade the Celtics. I don't know what the conversation
is with Missoula after a meltdown like this of a series.
But the seventy six ers was not in a place
to be able to win a seven game series against
(05:46):
the Celtics with or without Jason Tatum. But but to
see it the way that it played out, you know
they were able to come back from down three games
three to one, Like three to one, they should have
handily cruised two even if you allowed it to get
close those last two games. You gotta figure out a
(06:10):
way to win if you're for what it's worth, if
you're still that team that can win championships. I just
don't know what the conversation is moving forward after a
meltdown like that. You can't be a team coming off
of fresh off of not too long ago winning a
championship and you get a team down that should be
(06:34):
down three to one in the series and you can't
close out that series that. That's very damning if you're
the Celtics. That's my take. It's never happened before. It's
never happened. Yeh one.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
By the way, Tatum was explaining, Lvar, did you have
this too? Because Tatum was explaining that his right leg
is still shorter than the left because the Achilles.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
No, I don't. I wasn't aware of that. What is that?
I don't know, man, I don't know and problem, And
for what it's worth, I never even thought to measure
the length of my legs ever, outside of getting some
pants and getting my end seam and all that stuff.
But I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Yeah, you know, end scene, baby,
(07:24):
ye make sure that you gotta make sure that seat
is good too, you know what I mean. I'm just
trying to figure out why the guy's leg is shorter
than the other one. Why is that? I don't know why?
And why would you announce that? I don't know, That's
what I'm saying, like not.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Upon further review, I'm looking at it going, well, maybe
this isn't great because.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Maybe they got confused and there was that was the
same length, and then there was one that was just
it's a great point. I mean, why have why had
three legs the same length when you only need to
just I've never heard of that before, to where an
(08:04):
achilles injury results in a guy's leg shrinking, Like, I
don't see what's happening there. That's why I cross over works.
So good.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
God, Okay, here's some research.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
Only about ten percent of people in the population actually
have exactly equal leg lengths. Around ninety percent of people
have some degree of l D, which is called leg
length discrepancy.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Tell me about it.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
The average difference is about five.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Millimeters for one such Joe Theisman is famously known for
having a shorter leg after the injury. Correct, Like, I
don't know, Yeah, look it up, I believe, and no,
I am clot that before y'all want to go there,
I've got a real life example.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
The chopper needs both knee replacements, and I think he
contemplated getting both done at the same time, but then
the doctor maybe talked him out of it because of
his age and the surgery of rehab, et cetera. So
so he didn't but both of his legs Like you know,
as you get older, some of the guys get like
bow legged over time.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Yeah, so crazy bow legged exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
So he was like very bow legged.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
So he got the one knee fixed, probably didn't do
the rehab way he should have, which was a shock
to no one in our family or anyone who knows Chopper.
But what he didn't realize was it straightened his leg
out so much.
Speaker 6 (09:28):
Then his one leg is like it's significantly longer and
and his other legs like still very bow legged. So
like he almost if you watch him walk, he almost
walks diagonally if he's not paying attention because of the
one bow leg. Every time he takes a step, it
like veers him a little bit left.
Speaker 5 (09:48):
So he's constantly like re like course recorrecting as he walks.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
I feel bad for him, but at the same time, like, again,
this is a man who he maybe did.
Speaker 5 (09:59):
Like two weeks of rehab maybe three at most, and
was like, I'm good. And that is not for anyone
who's had a knee replacement what they tell you to do,
especially when you're in your seventies.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And we all tried, but it was like riding a motorcycle.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Honestly, I swear to God, like three weeks after going
to get knee replacement. So for him, I guess I'm
not sure, but again, pretty common actually, like I apparently
pretty common that you've got one leg longer than the other.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
The one foot bigger than the other. Seems like it'd
be a pain in the ass too, I have a
longer foot. Do you do you have to buy sad
when you're buying shoes?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I just I just I got used to it. I
just got used to wear thirteen. Yeah, I mean I
think my left is a fourteen and my right is
a true thirteen.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
My right could actually size off.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
It's not like close, it's close. It's close. It's a half,
it's a half. But I've all I just taught myself
to wear thirteens, so everyone, and I think that's why,
you know, because I didn't want to put that pressure
on my parents. Right, like I go, you can also
get more.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
You can also get like.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
Nicer shoes than thirteens, like they most company stops at
twelve or thirteen's.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Yeah, not the and these days they do a little
a lot better. But yeah, when we were growing up, yeah, absolutely,
thirteen was the cutoff. Yeah, that was like you went
from cool shoes to like, come on, man, it was
it was like the men like, let me go to
the back and see if we can find a fourteen
for you. Come back out with some herm and Monsters
(11:32):
or something like that. Man, what are you doing? Man?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
No disrespect to the store, But like the Men's Big
and Tall, like you went from like cool clothing, like
everyone's wearing like nice and most well fitted, and you're like,
now I'm in Men's big and Tall, which if you're
like tall, the shirt's.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Too wide, too too wide.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
Yeah, the shirt's not long enough. It always that's the
problem about the Men's Big and Tall. You always fit
one of the two, not both.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
So if you have to be taller, you were getting
screwed out with basically wear like a parachute.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
For a shirt.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's very true you had Herman Monster shoes. Jonas and
I knew it. As soon as they measure my foot
they'd be like, oh, look, you know, let's uh And
I think that's that's why. Back so you're gonna start asking, well,
why didn't you just get a fourteen? Right? If your
foot was measuring closer to a fourteen but your right
(12:23):
one was measuring more of a thirteen When they when
they measure, they'd be like, oh, what's close to a fourteen?
And I'd be like, all right, you got the they
go they come back like, yeah, we don't have that
Jordan in your size, or we don't have that air mat,
or we don't have that in your side. I'd be like, okay.
Then they go in the back, like, let's look for fourteen.
(12:45):
They come back and it was straight up herman monsters,
like what are these man?
Speaker 6 (12:51):
Like?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
How did they put a Nike? How did Nike allow
them to put a Nike switch on this shoot? Now?
And that was when I decided I was going wear
thirteen no matter what. Like I wore thirteens, so I
learned how to wear thirteens. My right foot could actually
fit snugly the way that my left foot fits in
the thirteen into a twelve, So go fit damn. But
(13:15):
now y'all realize, y'all wonder why I You know, I
don't wear socks and I don't wear shoes. I take
my shoes off all the time. It was just a
habit that I built because my left foot would be
so uncomfortable. This is a wild story. Maybe this is
the first time I'm ever even telling it. But yeah,
I never I never got For a long time, I
(13:36):
couldn't get used to the fact that my toes would
go numb and not thirteen, so I take them off,
Like anytime I get a chance, I'd take my shoes off.
Cleat you do thirteen still and just wear that? Yes,
I did thirteen. Yeah, and got used to it, like
I've worn thirteens like that became my thing. I wear
(13:56):
thirteens like that was it. Every once in a while,
I get bold and be like like you said earlier,
que I go half, Like if you got a thirteen
and a half, Like I'd always say, that's the first
thing i'd start off with. If you got a thirteen
and a half, I'll take a thirteen and a half.
But in the type of sneakers that I wanted to get,
they really didn't have a half size in the thirteen.
(14:19):
So it's like like like it was it, Thirteen's was
that cutoff? Like if you didn't if you didn't make
it into thirteen, then you transitioned into that outer beyond
of the Herman monsters. So there you go. Yeah, true story.
Even like the air Maxes I found a pair of
Airmaxes one time that were fourteen looked nothing like the
(14:41):
regular size. And I used to have jealous like moments
with dudes that came to school and their sneakers look
so good, and I'd be like, man, mine don't look
like that. So at one point I was like, you
know what, I can achieve something like that with Like,
you don't even want to see what a Timberlin looks
like in a fourteen, Bro, you don't want to see that.
(15:03):
You don't want to see it. It's just it's a
different field. Man, what's the material? I don't know, Man,
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
They don't look any different at Timberlin.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
Yes they they don't, Yes they do. Maybe it was
my mental block. I know, buddy, I know, I know
you got a big foot. I'm just telling you for me,
maybe your experience.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Maybe I think that's why I wore lugs when I
was when I was younger, because maybe they didn't have
like a fourteen.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Maybe it looks stupid.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
Yeah, us before I think they had in fourteen.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Lugs and lugs look like herman monsters do like But
I you know, but you you find a way to compensate.
I went thirteen. I chose thirteen.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Well, let's get back to basketball for a second. So
real tonight tonight we kick off two game ones. Obviously,
have these Sixers Nicks? Yeah, I mean I feel like
the seventy six ers were.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Kind of playing.
Speaker 5 (16:01):
They're hot right now. I talked about their ton Embiid,
he's tough to stop tires. Maxie's played phenomenal. I don't
know I got The Knicks are such a physically imposing team.
I'm not really sure what to make of it. I
think I make it with house money here and just
roll with the seventy six ers.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
The Knicks are favored to win the East. I'm hoping
it's not the Knicks. Their fan base is obnoxious. The
celebration of the n season tournament last year, getting past
the second round, all that stuff just irritated me.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
So I'm hoping it's not the Knicks. But I ain't.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
No bitch line from Joel Embiid actually started with his
feud and back and forth with Karl Anthony Towns, so
we are going to get that. So that's gonna be
a that's gonna be a fun environment.
Speaker 5 (16:49):
Well, the other one in the West is the Spurs
taking on the Timberwolves game one tonight. I don't see
the Timberwolves beating the Spurs, dude, I.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Mean, I just, oh god, no. It might be it
could be experienced that leads the Timberwolves over the Spurs.
That would be the only reason. But the way Wenby
and the rest of them are are playing, it's and
you don't you're shorthanded. Obviously, if you're the Timberwolves, you shouldn't.
(17:22):
You shouldn't be able to. But they closed out the Nuggets,
and they shouldn't have been able to close out the
Nuggets without two of their better players and obviously their
best player, and at so I think they got a
fighting chance. I get I think they got a puncher's chance.
I think the bigger storyline here is the Cavaliers. They're
playing against a team that found their way against the Magic,
(17:45):
and it was improbable. There's no way the Pistons should
still be in the playoffs after that, you know the
deficit that they had in Game six, but they nonetheless
did it. And the Calves, like the Knicks, who are fair,
they don't finish out playoff runs. Like Donovan Mitchell is
(18:08):
not a he has never finished out a playoff run.
The New York Knicks have never literally have never really
finished off playoff runs. I would be betting against the
pissed against the Cavaliers and and the and the New
York Knicks if I were a betting person because that
(18:30):
their resumes aren't very good.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
No disrespect to these four teams, but it really doesn't
matter who comes out of the East, you know it
just it's gonna be or San Antonio that's gonna win
the title. And I don't see anybody in the East
that poses any sort of real threat.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
I really don't. If San Antonio gets a championship this year,
the league should potentially be on notice. I mean, this
is supposed to be like a grow up year for them,
like get experience and you know, mature into a team
that can actually contend for it in the upcoming seasons.
(19:12):
Like next year was supposed to be the start of
the Spurs being that that team and Wimby being the
MVP that was supposed to be next year. But they
are playing at that level now, man, So it'd be
interesting to see. But okay, see, man, they're they're I
think the Lakers are feel good story and people keep
(19:34):
counting them out. But I'm just telling you, man, they
just it's just there's a weird feeling. There's this sense
that the Lakers should not be counted out. I'm just
saying they shouldn't be counted out. Well, all kind of out, Okay.
I think if nobody else wants to, I'll do it. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I feel like you, Petros Priace mothers want to put
them the sleep sleep. Speaking of sleep, the great sleep
we deserved as a mattress firm or sleep experts, will
match with a temper peed designed to absorb all that

But right now it is time for the tire rack
Play of the Day.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Tyson Left of the lane hits the brakes, then now
he'll float no.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Hell and with the follow popped it home.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
Share it all and went right to the rim and
knock to batch in.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
He's got a double.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Double calves radio network on the call. That is your
tire ract play of the day. For over forty years,
ty Rack's been helping customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive. Shipped fast and freedback by
free road has a protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation tire rack dot Com. The way tire
buying should be. So on Friday, we did our wheel
of horses. We spun a wheel for two roles. This
(22:09):
is such, so we did uh the Kentucky Oaks, and
then we did the derby, so for starters with the Oaks.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Uh, it went a little something like this.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I spun and got Percy's bar who finished seventh. Brady
pulled Counting Stars who finished third. Lebar pulled prom Queen
who finished fifth. Uh, Patty, at least at least prom
Queen ran. You know, yeah, I meant pass the different race.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm saying. At least Queen ram Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Patty, Patty's horse meaning finished second. So good for him.
Uh and uh and Mark, who was filling in for
Loraina Brooklyn Blonde finished dead last. All right, so you're thinking, man, Mark,
that sucks. And then you get to the derby.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Oh gosh, I didn't even get in. I didn't even
have a change my horse. Right to party, scratched the
bar's horse, the Puma, Brady's horse, Great White, flipped over
at the gate.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, we almost got there. We were almost there.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Boys.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
By the way, did you see how massive that horse looked?
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Oh my god, it was like.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
If there's ever been a horse, if there's ever been
a horse.
Speaker 5 (23:30):
The derby that I'm watching going, I just want to
see what this colossus can do. It was what four
inches taller than the next tallest horse the Derby. I mean,
I don't again, I don't know if the thing would
be able to run at all or not. Although the
odds for Great White I believe before he got scratched.
We're somewhere in the ballpark of golden Tempo, so it's
(23:51):
not like it he couldn't have, you know, competed. But
that was the biggest shame, seeing all this potential dump
out before they even get into the gates.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
I don't. It's karma, is what it is.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Our show.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Well, look, we've pointed out, you know, some of the
issues with horse racing. Yeah, like Santa Anita, you know,
which is basically a graveyard for horses, white tent jokes,
pe ds experience.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
You know, we've pulled out you know, we've Jonas jokes
about it. Well, look, you joke about it.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
To Levar's point, there's no one who's sent more horse
to the glue factory than you.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Okay, Bob Bafford might be a close second.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
With pleasure though, like you do it with glee in
your voice.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know, twenty twenty of those morons died at Santa Anita.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
All right, that's not my fault. I'm reporting the news. Now.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Have we maybe taken liberties with that story and run
with it for some content?
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah? Yeah, No, you don't say we we we, You
don't say we bro we not me. Okay, it's we
not me. Oh my gosh. And then oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
And then the other part of it is, look, when
you give a Kakamemi excuse that your horse tests positive
for a band substance and you blame it on the
guy cleaning, Uh, the barn for urinating on the hay
that the horse ate. I'm sorry those are going to
become with some jokes. It's just it is what it is.
We don't we don't make this stuff up. We are
(25:28):
simply reporting the facts. But all of that leading to
every one of our horses getting scratched and Brady's flipping
over like it's a canoe in the middle of a tsunami.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
When you guys were watching this take place, because my
kids and I were watching this together. You're right trying
to teach him a little bit about odds, you know,
there's some math involved the horses, et cetera. They're like, so, Dad,
is the horse going to race still? And I'll set
thine in the back my head. There's no shot in hell.
These horses are way too expensive. It probably feels like
(26:05):
it's spooks, so there's there's no reason to put it
back into the gates to see what it can do
or try to get in the gates. But I was like, oh, yeah,
you know, I'm gonna check him out, make sure he's okay,
and you know, see if he can tough this.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
One out full well. No, I was screwed so well
it was disappointed.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It was good for them to watch because in one
hundred and fifty two years, one hundred and fifty two races,
the first time a woman trainer has won the event. Like,
that's Can I ask that's?
Speaker 3 (26:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
I mean I think that's pretty cool. Man. Yeah. Can
I ask you a question? There's hope. Can I ask
you a question? Why does that matter? It does matter? Bro?
Why it does matter? I mean, I know you're a
white man. Well, and that's generally a white man statement,
say to me, but for what it's worth, like a
(26:58):
woman being able to win a race where it's male
dominated by the trainers and one hundred fifty two years,
Jonas like one hundred and fifty two years and it's
never happened.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
But but whill now that's crazy. Okay, But why is
it dominated by males? Why is that the case?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
I'm not going to see that. No, no, no, I'm
not No.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
I'm asking if it's you know, if it was I
could understand. If we're talking about an actual partaking in
the event, whether it be the athlete whatever, I can
understand that. But to me, it's hey, trainer, awesome, great job,
that's wonderful.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
I don't. I don't understand. The trainer is literally the
number one the number one item that has to be
checked off the list in being a competitive horse racing team.
Like it's the trainer and then it's the jockey, and
obviously the horse is super crazy important, but you your
trainer is the most important element of what you're going
(28:06):
to have. They tie the horse and the jockey together.
They know how to run the horse, they know how
to to prepare the horse, they know the horse's mannerisms.
They they what the horse needs to eat.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
When it's just I don't know why you're asking this question,
and I'm not even a horse expert on stuff like this,
But I mean, if you don't, that's why there are trainers.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
That's why are so important. I understand that. But I
look at it and I go, I don't. Whatever the
gender is, if you're a great trainer, you're a great trainer.
And she's clearly a great trainer, but.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
There's other elements to that. She's not the only female
trainer that's ever been a part of training horses, for one,
and for two, there are other elements involved in that play.
When you're talking about being in certain into and the world.
I don't like going down this road because then you
got to go into the whole inclusion thing and how
(29:08):
to know.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I just I look at it and I go, that's
that's a great trainer who did a phenomenal job. The
jockey did a great job. The race was unbelievable. I
just to me, I look at it, and I go,
that's just a great trainer, like man woman what that's
just a great trainer who did an outstanding job with
the horse. And to see the way that horse was
in virtually dead lass and there's an aerial shot of
(29:29):
the race where you can see the horse making a run,
and I looked at it and I'm like, there's no
way that horse is going to make that make up
that much ground and did and ended up winning that race.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
It was unbelievable. I mean, well, that's a good pivot. No,
that's not a good I saved Jona. I look. I
look at it, and I go to me, I don't.
I don't view all matter. I don't.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
I don't, I don't view I don't view it being well,
you know it's a woman who did it. I just
know that's a great trainer, like man, that's a great trainer.
She did a great job and and I just that
that that was my thought on it. But okay, at
least the horse ran, which is really the wind for everybody.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
That was the wind. Man. There were five horses. That's
a great pivot there too, you know, yeah, they you know.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And three of them were ours and Brady's fell over
and knocked his power out.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And it's unbelievable what happened there. It happens, man, But
shots out to Sherry de Vaux, I think, is the
way you say it good for her? No matter what
Jonas said, that to me is the biggest story of
the race of of the day if you ask me,
you know.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
But there's there's higher powers at play, that's all I know.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
After what just took place, and after what took place
this past Saturday, there's someone else to get us.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
Really, here's that us again? What what happened? Well?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Man of this too?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Because because the puma went out, I listen, I thought.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Okay, let me ask you this, Well, if you weren't
a part of it, why would your horse get scratched too?
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I mean, you're right in that regard. And I thought
you might have been talking about what you were overcoming
to to get back into the conversation, I say, mind, I'm.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Saying, that's the part of it, buddy, this is a
part of it.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Yes, on the fourth, So someone from the dark side
is is it somebody's leveraging the force against us? I listen, all,
this is what I know. If the horse is not
feeling well, puffy, I guess the report was he was swollen.
The leg was swollen. He might have been getting it in,
(31:45):
might have got caught up, you know, saw something out there.
You know, some some loose mayor was around. I don't know. Man,
one of his legs was a little bit longer than
the other one that was measured. You know, next thing,
you know, his leg is swollen and puffy. Look, I
don't I don't know. I don't know. But they helped
the puma out and that's that's what it is. But
(32:07):
maybe things are working against us a lot of scratches.
But I would ask the question to you guys, and
I know we're up on it, but I would ask
the question, should there be more of a conversation about
horse safety and and what's going on? Like some people
(32:27):
blamed it on the surface, some people do. Yeah, we
for for football, right, for football, right, so and I'm
gonna make the comparison. And even though.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
People would like for horse safety.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Oh, we did talk about horse safety. But he remember
we were doing we were doing reads for forgetting your
surfaces changed, and we had long conversations about why do
soccer clubs have nice, clean, grassy surfaces while you know,
then flayers have artificial turfs, and we're talked about those things.
(33:05):
Is there if, like so these horses that scratched were
big name horses. If we're going into the day of
the Super Bowl and you get several scratches because they're
they're not healthy for one reason or another, how much
up in arms would people be over those guys not
(33:28):
playing due to I mean, we just had Tatum do it.
But if we were in in the Super Bowl and
the day of it happened the same exact way where
you had several key players not not played due to
what they've been dealing with surfaces, surface issues, that would
be there would be a serious issue and Roger Goodell
(33:50):
would have to handle that serious issue. If if the
surface was the reason why these these guys weren't playing
so why why should it be any different.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Because I mean, I don't know that it's necessarily just
the surface. I also think strenuous, strenuous activities that and
maybe what you know, what what the horses are being
given also maybe may impact some of that.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
But even but even add that into it, even the
performance enhancements are the medications and stuff like that, it's
always changing. These things are always changing, the anti doping.
They're always looking for what's the next thing that's on
on the list of things that are being used to
stay ahead of the curve of testing. Like I'm just saying, man,
(34:37):
I feel like there's should after this one. There should
be questions about like how how it's it's set up,
the amount of races, the amount of running these horses
are doing, how they're how they're handled, how they're tended to.
That's a lot of scratches. And not to mention we
you know, there have been deaths, like some of these
horses have died. Yeah, bringing there, that's kind of crazy, man. Crazy.

Speaker 7 (36:08):
Sometimes you can't get to everything in the world of
sports or entertainment. Good thing the guys are here to
bring you in case you missed it.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Guys, some sad news to report here, especially sad for
one member of this show who lost somebody near and
dear to them. We say goodbye to Spirit Airlines, who
man up and vanished like a fart in the wind
over the weekend. Just decided. You know what, that's it, everybody. Yeah,
(36:47):
some people showing up to the Fort Lauderdale Airport for
their flights and they're like, yeah, that airline doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Oh wait, what.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
The most appropriate end to anything I've ever heard of
my life is Spirit Airlines just upping and deciding to
cease operations in the middle of.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
You said it was coming, killing their spirit.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (37:11):
I unfortunately for those who are impacted by it, I
feel bad for you. I've been stranded traveling many a time,
and it's difficult.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
It's tough. I get that this hits home to me
for a number of reasons.
Speaker 5 (37:23):
One, I used to live in Fort Lauderdale for you know,
fifteen years, and I loved that place.
Speaker 3 (37:29):
I love that airline.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I know there's been a lot of negative experiences for
other people. But I got to tell you, I found
it wildly entertaining and if you needed to get somewhere
direct that was cheap.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
They had the plan for it. Now.
Speaker 5 (37:44):
Unfortunately, there are some lawmakers I won't name any in
particular outside of Elizabeth Warren who absolutely squashed a merger
from coming together in particularly Jet Blue.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
She was all over that. And now we don't have
those those float actions anymore.
Speaker 5 (38:00):
So I'm hoping there's something that is able to fill
in for the gaps and replaces Spirit Airlines. Don't ever
expect it, though, to be as wild as some of
the gates and the fights and the you know check
in with the to get your check in your luggage.
Don't expect any of what we had in the past.
(38:20):
But it was glorious. It really was like Spirit Airlines.
When you needed something to you know, make your social
media feel a little more exciting, they were always there
for you. When you needed someone to charge you to
use the bathroom all right, or just to give you
a cup of water, there was Spirit. And if you
wanted someone to say, hey, we've got Wi Fi on
(38:42):
this flight, and as soon as you boord say, you know, what,
but it's planes too new and it hasn't been installed yet.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
If you want some.
Speaker 5 (38:50):
Airline to lie to you and tell you that every
single time, Spirit.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Airlines was your airline.
Speaker 5 (38:56):
If you wanted a seat that wouldn't recline, you go
to Spirit, all right. If you wanted someone handling the luggage,
just toss that thing like a sack of potatoes.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
That was Spirit air Lines.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
By the way, the one the one time I took
it and had an ashtray in the arm rest.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Oh wow, like really, oh wow,
