Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. We thought Rory
was ready, We thought he had gotten the monkey off
his back. He's the defending Masters champion. He came into
today's round with a seven under sixty five. He looked
like he was going to cruise with a very very

(00:22):
comfortable lead at twelve under, and since then disaster Cam
Young has now taken the lead at eleven under. Rory
is tied with Sam Burns at ten under, and it
is a dog fight in the third round at AUGUSTA.
Welcome in on this Fox Sports Saturday. It's Bucking fits

(00:42):
with Bridget Condon filling in for Jason fitz Fitzy on
assignment for the Indoor Football League. Bridget's lovely to have
you back.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Now, boock. I don't know where we should begin. I
don't want to come out blazing right off the top,
but we do have some unfinished business. Should we get
into it or do you want to talk about the Masters?

Speaker 1 (01:01):
I don't know what I'm not. I was not prepared.
Nobody prepped me. Married and get in my ear and
tell me that I was getting ready to get a sabotage.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
See I could have I could have led with this
via text earlier, but I was like, you know what,
let's just air it out on live radio.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Okay, well, you know what, I live for content, So
if we're going to make it into content, I'm here
for what do you got for me? So?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I loved my time with you. A couple of weeks
ago when I filled in, we had such a great,
you know, a great show. I broke back. I said,
you know, this was awesome. Thanks for having me. Buck
is amazing. Couldn't ask for a better co host. Usually
I'm on with Alex you know, which love her. But
you know it was, you know, it was like I

(01:44):
felt like I was one of the guys with you.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
And then the very next weekend, imagine it's a Saturday afternoon,
beautiful day here in Los Angeles, me, my husband, my
daughter enjoying a great NFL flag football game put on
by fanatics when I get a text from an unnamed
person that said, Hey, just want to let you know

(02:08):
you're getting name checked hard on the radio right now.
I said what I said, Yeah, this guy is talking
about how glad he was to have his normal guy
back because he didn't he didn't enjoy doing the show
with you.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Surely that's not true. No way, I.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Have the text. I'm literally looking at it right now
because I wanted to make this right. So I don't know.
I don't know if that's a bad way to start
the show, but I just want to let you know
I'm here for you.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Wh who else have you filled in with? No, No,
I'm not going to be pigeonholed here. There's no way
that I'm just getting hit with some guy on the radio.
No way, this is me.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
I've not worked with another man.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Oh my god, wait, Mary Ian, no support, There's no way.
I thoroughly enjoyed doing the show with Bridget a couple
of weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
We're talking ay right now, trying to get to the
bottom of it, because I don't I don't remember you
saying that either.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Come on podcast, somebody give me a lifeline here. There's
no way that I took out Bridge at Condon Public.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
It was clear in his comments.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Instead of throwing you a lifeline, I'm gonna go ahead
and pull that life raft back even further because I
missed the show a couple of weeks ago, but I
only missed the update parts I did the show that
I normally do filling it, I mean doing my my
normal show right after this, So I walk into the
end of Bucking Fits, in which I hear Buck just lauding,

(03:38):
Oh my god, thank you.

Speaker 5 (03:39):
So much for filling it on your update shifts?

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Was it?

Speaker 5 (03:43):
What a breath of fresh air?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
No shine and not.

Speaker 4 (03:48):
A close talk to you about you're.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
Both getting like I think you're taking offense to underlying
because he didn't directly say he didn't like either of you.
He was just gassing up the people that were on.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
The compliment goes along left.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
But the thing is, we're here other times we don't hear.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
There's no reverse.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
Gameta thrown unintentionally. Whether it's thrown intentionally or not, I'm
not interested on my Saturday afternoons to be getting some shade.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
I can't believe that someone I love you get out Yeah, yeah, anyways,
do you want to talk about the show or should we?

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Should?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
We just we just's never here anymore And I'm the
one who gets buried on all of this. Let Fitz
take some correctly, all right. I show up to work,
for God's sakes, But.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You're not happy about being at work with select crew.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
That's not fun. It okay? Half of it's true, all right,
I did take out well, I did not take out
Martin publicly. I did gas up Mancy, who was filling
in on the updates for Martin, that I remember doing
clear as day. I have never said a sideways word
about Bridget.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
We find the tapes exactly. What you kind of said
was that you were glad that, and you were saying,
not that I don't like Bridget, but I'm glad that.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Mary.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Wait, what's wrong with that?

Speaker 1 (05:17):
That?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's like you didn't You didn't need to say that.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
You could have just I don't not like Bridget, I'm
glad you walk into the room.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
And you're like, hey, I'm not trying to be a jerk,
but can I tell you that my partner's back.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I don't know. Okay, but it also probably wasn't. It
wasn't being authentic because I hate fits.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
That's true.

Speaker 6 (05:38):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
You're the most fascinating person to me, Buck, I'm still
trying to figure you out, so.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
He completely honest. When they texted me and they were like, hey,
are you available Saturday, I was like, oh yeah, absolutely,
thinking I'd come do the show with Alex and he's like,
you're gonna be with Buck And I was like, wait,
really he.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Wants me to talk about it? Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
No, I was like, he wants me to come? I
thought he hated me?

Speaker 1 (06:02):
No you? Okay?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
For does he know I'm going to be on the show.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Actually, let's run with it.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
You want first before you ask me, Let's start here, Ian.
How many affiliates are we broadcasting to right now on
Fox Sports Radio?

Speaker 5 (06:18):
Should be right around five hundred right now.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay, let's go ahead and say for the five hundred
Fox Sports Radio affiliates, ballpark, five hundred Fox Sports Radio affiliates,
and everybody listening in that area. Okay. Bridget Condon is
my preferred co host when Jason Fitz is not available
to host the show that we are regularly paid to host.
She's my favorite filling for all time.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
For the hundred people take it with a grin of salt.
For the five hundred people who can't see him crossing
his fingers underneath the table.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
I know I'm standing up. I'm pacing in my office
because I'm I'm upset.

Speaker 2 (06:53):
You didn't know that this was going to hit you.
I should have warned you. But this is better.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
No, this is garbage because it's not true. These are
these are erroneous allegations. And I have never said anything
other than nice things. You missed the show or not
missed the show. You're not regularly on the show. But
Steve Hartman filled in with me recently, and I remember
texting Scott Shapira'll be like, yeah, be great to have

(07:17):
Bridgie back. We could talk pall. It'd be awesome.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
O like Steve.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Oh my god, now Steve is catching straight.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
I got a better chance with Steve than I do
with Bridge.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Oh my god. I'm fired up right now. I'm on
my third coffee of the day and that means six
espresso shots. I don't have coffee. I have two espresso
shots over ice because that's the only way to do it.
And I'm on my third version of that. So if
you you came in here wanting to fight, absolutely okay.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
Good. I'm glad, glad. We all of our cards are
on the table now and we can do the radio
show at this point in time.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
But I'm so happy to be here. Thank you so
much for having me on the show.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
You're sure, because you sound like a hostage. Now you
sound like a hostage. No.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
Actually, we have a lot of fun things to talk about,
and I have some good, good takes for you, Buck.
I honestly prep harder than any other assignment when I'm
working with you, because I remember the first time you
had me on your show like five years ago. I
like didn't know I was doing it until I like
got there and you asked me some questions. I had
no idea what you were talking about because you were

(08:28):
asking me about the Titans, and at that point I
didn't cover the Titans. And I was like, I'll never
let this guy think I'm an idiot again. So just
want you to know that I'm I'm prepared, and I'm ready.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
I've never see these these are assumptions that you're making.
I've never once thought or said anywhere that I don't
completely respect your football acumen. In fact, you know more
about football than I do, because you're covering thirty two
teams on a regular basis. I'm scrolling around with this one.
They can't win a football game.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Now, he's just trying to be nice.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
No, I mean it's accurate. Said. They've been an anchor
around my neck for ten years at this point. That's
why I am the way that I am. You want
to you want to dive into the psychology of me.
We start with the.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
Titans high pitched, but he's been covering the Titans so
long it got deep.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Truly, like, I mean, they hit me harder than puberty did.

Speaker 2 (09:17):
Srory I think just took the lead. Am I looking
at this correctly or tied in first?

Speaker 6 (09:20):
Now?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Well, here's the thing. Okay, I have been flying blind
on The Masters all day because I don't have a TV.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
You don't have cable. What's going on?

Speaker 1 (09:29):
I have a TV, I have cable, I have all
of these.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
You need some money to pay for your subscription. I
got you boom.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
I mean I probably should. They're charging like four hundred
dollars a month for this second table package. It's outrageous.
So I go to turn on the Master's coverage today,
which is on CBS, and I am greeted. And I
will not take out my cable provider publicly, because I'm
not sure if they're a sponsor anywhere, although I am tempted.
This channel that I'm being greeted with, it's CBS, it's

(09:57):
the Masters, and I am seeing a message from my
cable provider due to you know, some kind of issue
with scripts and a failed negotiation on our very very
reasonable offer that they wanted to charge you more money
for you will not be able to receive your regularly
scheduled programming, which is the damn Masters today.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
You can do that, yeah, but not during Master's weekend.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Rageous, outrageous. I've been refreshing my phone like an addict. Kids.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
But I'm also just like you're a millennial, right, I
believe you're younger than me.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
I'm thirty two.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Okay, Oh, I'm thirty two too. When's your birthday?

Speaker 1 (10:34):
July?

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Okay, I guess you're older than me. Who this July?

Speaker 4 (10:38):
What?

Speaker 2 (10:39):
By the way, I'm asking July what?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
July twentieth?

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Wow, my husband is July twenty one. So you're a cancer.
So we actually get along well Because I'm a scorpio, I.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
Would say that we get along swimmingly until you try
to start a fight.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
With me to show Anyways, what I was saying is
you're a millennial. Why don't you have YouTube TV? Who
has cable?

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Help me? Because I can write it off.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
You can't write off YouTube TV.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I mean maybe I could, but I'm not. I don't
want to change now I've got all this equipment.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, but you would be able to watch the Masters
if you had YouTube TV, so it's no hourly.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
Aware of that, and now I'm probably going to have
to switch from YouTube TV just because I'm annoyed, just
because I'm irritated.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
I mean, I just feel like you could figure out
a way to get it on the TV. But I'll
let you know what's going on. Rory is back in
the lead, tied with Young and about two. All right,
let's see where this lands. Anyways, though, cognitive appraisal. Are
you going to get into this.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
Cognitive appraisal? Walk me through it?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
So that is Rory's thinking. Okay, so visualizing worst case
scenarios is what he does. Right, Most athletes picture the
best case scenario. The famous video of Mike McDonald's telling
his players, imagine if it's January, we're hosting an NFC
title game, it's raining, and nobody cares about us, and

(11:58):
like we go on to win the Super Bowl, you know,
and then they won the Super Bowl. Well, for Rory,
it's the opposite. He visualizes the worst case scenarios so
that he's prepared for the adversity when it hits. And honestly,
this has been incredible to hear from an athlete like himself,
great for people like me. I started to really think

(12:22):
I needed to change and be more positive. One of
my New Year's resolutions was to be more positive. But
now hearing this from Rory mcelrory, uh, it's given me
a reason to quit being positive because if he doesn't
have to be positive, why do I?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well? And you now, I don't know how regularly you're
doing this, but you're you're running in half marathons recently.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I did. I did two weeks ago. Thank you so
much for saying congrats.

Speaker 1 (12:50):
No, absolutely see, I pay attention. I'm a I'm a
considerate friend. Despite what the what the three of you
trying to paint me as I uh? In your in
your preparation for that and your training for that. Do
you I mean do you do you have to like
coach yourself up mentally because that was what's.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Going through my head. Don't stop, you piece of don't
stop you are so fat. Keep going. I'm just kidding.
I'm trying to be more positive because I'm raising three,
I'm raising a daughter, and I'm like, I can't say
this stuff. I want her to have a normal, normal life.
But for myself, it absolutely is you're so slow, keep going,
don't quit, you're a quitter.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Well, okay, so how do you how would that change
your approach and how you would mentally have to handle
something like a half marathon, because the mental, honest to god,
it would be I mean, it would be obviously a
physical battle. If you haven't done anything like that in
your life, I'm sure that's very very taxic.

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Totally mental.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, you know, it has to be such a huge
part of the battle.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Absolutely, it is the battle. I think anybody I say
this to anyone. I've ran a marathon before too, and
I like, I'm one of those people who hate running.
I can't run a mile unless i'm training for something, right, Like,
this is not something that comes to me. I think
if anybody put in the effort to train and prepare
and go out there and run every day or five

(14:08):
days a week, you'll be able to do it, because
it's just about going through the motions and then your
mind starts to believe, okay, one mile is equivalent to
ten miles, and then we're just going out for a
ten mile run, which used to feel like a one
mile run. I don't know if I'm making sense, but honestly.

Speaker 6 (14:25):
From the Fox Sports studio, I.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Don't know what else to say.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Well, I uh, I mean, that's unfortunate because we have
two hours and forty five minutes left or one hour
and forty five minutes left together, although you know at
this point we could do it extra hour either way.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
She's Birds at Condon. I'm Buck Rising Jason fitz Out
on assignment for the Indoor Football League. Frozen Grapes or
no frozen Gripes for Bridge of Condon.

Speaker 2 (16:17):
I thought you were going to say like, oh, this
is a great thing and it would begin the better
part of our friendship. But when I heard that you
hated frozen grapes, I was like, of course he does.
But if I also just want to say, I know
you don't have kids, hopefully that's in I mean not hopefully,
whether that's in your future or not.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I want you to know thank you for not putting
on the mother.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Whatever you want to do, I'm not going to judge.
I don't think that you should give a baby a
frozen grape unless you want to kill them. Babies can't
have frozen grapes. Yeah yeah, I mean unlessen.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
To now say something and that I thank you for
all your help, and.

Speaker 2 (16:58):
You won't be my first call for babysitting. But you're
great with other things, am I? Because you're great radio
show host?

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh my goodness, so welcome back.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I realized we didn't even talk about the Masters. Sorry
about that to everybody tuning in, because we were just arguing.
So that's my bad.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
You know what, I think it makes for a better show.
We did a little Master's It was Master's adjacent.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Okay is in the lead by himself right now for
anybody keeping tabs, which is great.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Great for me, Martin. We'll do a wonderful job. He'll
read the best update that anybody's ever read in his
entire life in five minutes from now. Is that good
enough for you? Martin? My god?

Speaker 5 (17:37):
He said the same thing about Monsey using the same script.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
Hmmm, you know what, I'm going to deal with you later,
at a later date, Okay, because you're you're out here
selling me out during the commercial breaks. You're you agent
of chaos back there, Mary.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
Why are you lying on my name right now?

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Got you lying? Nothing has ever been more true in
my entire life.

Speaker 2 (17:57):
Should we talk about sports?

Speaker 1 (17:58):
We should so. The NBA is taking its next steps
towards addressing the tanking problem. We understand what the Washington
Wizards have been all season long. The Indiana Pacers are
one of these organizations who have said staunchly at every
turn that they're not tanking, even though it would make
more sense for them under the current construct. But the

(18:20):
NBA is at least trying to address the optics of this,
and this week or in the past couple of days,
the league bridget presented three separate proposals to their Board
of governors with the aim of discouraging teams from tanking.
Sham Sharani at ESPN put this out. Apparently they're going
to have a formal vote that could happen as soon
as next month. One of the proposals would expand the

(18:42):
draft lottery from fourteen to eighteen teams and adding the
seventh and eight seeds from each conference. The bottom ten
teams would receive equal odds eight percent for the number
one overall pick. You've got another proposal that goes even further,
which it would expand the lottery to twenty two teams,
including play in clubs and first round playoff exits, and

(19:04):
that model would base lottery position on a two year
record and include a minimum win threshold to prevent extreme losing.
The third of these proposals expands the lottery to eighteen
teams just like the first, but flattens the odds among
the bottom five while ensuring that none of those teams
could fall lower than tenth in the draft order. Now,

(19:27):
these are a couple of different solutions that are being proposed.
Do we think, bridget that it addresses the crux of
the issue that is seeming that the NBA at least
seems like they're trying to focus their full attention on,
even if the tanking problem is not as widespread as
I think a lot of the larger or general public
might think it actually is.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
I'm happy that the NBA is finally starting to come
up with plans of what to do. I do believe
tanking is a real issue, and we've seen it so often.
And you hear stories of lif little kids finally getting
to go to their first NBA game. They're huge fans
of Lebron James. They go Lebron James isn't playing, not
because he's hurt, just because he wants to take a
veteran rest day. I think the problem with these three

(20:12):
scenarios that they proposed is none of them work. I
don't think there's a solution, but I.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Think with all of these none of them are good.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
I'm sorry, I told you. I'm on a six shot
of espresso. But they're rewarding middle tier teams, so that
doesn't really make sense either. You're saying, don't be bad,
just be mediocre. How does that help? We want to
see greatness. And I'm gonna say what the solution is,
but the NBA is never gonna do it because we've

(20:43):
gotten this far and money, money, money, money is what talks.
But eighty two games is way too many. You need
to make it. I don't know, sixty games, then we'll
have a different situation. The reason why the NFL is
so awesome is because it's less than two games, you know,
like one day. Hopefully it stays under twenty forever. But

(21:05):
I know they keep trying to add games, but every
single game matters so much in playoff situation. In you know,
if a player gets hurt and he misses a game,
it's so drastic. In the NBA, you don't have that
kind of issue. You can miss to three weeks and
it's fine.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Yeah, it's It's one of those things where the solution
is obvious to everybody except the people making the decisions, right,
because I think we're I mean, I'm in such agreement
with you, and I do like basketball. I will probably
I don't know, Bridget, how many regular season NBA games
start to finish? Would you say you watch no in
a regular season?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
No, I don't start until April, which is so bad.
We'll I'll say the beginning of the season. Probably the
beginning of the season, you have the hype, the excitement,
and then on the holidays, you know, Christmas Day, you're
watching the NBA. Well, now we have the NFL, so
not so much anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
But I watch those stinky NFL Netflix. When I watched
the NBA games, right, now.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
Well, it's just that's the reality, and NFL is king,
and maybe the NBA should look at why. And it's
because there's so much fewer. But again, you can sell
tickets to eighty two games. They're never going to cut it.
Why would they? Do they really care about whether the
product is good or not. People are still going to go.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Well, and that's the thing. Like this gets into a
larger conversation. And I was I was having this conversation
with somebody because I was driving past the new Titan
Stadium that they're building here in Nashville. It's ten thousand
seats smaller than the old, the old Nissan Stadium, which
is where they currently play. And I was explaining to
this person, no, they're people don't People aren't going to

(22:43):
games more. The experience at home has become so great
that the in arena customer, I'm not going to say
that they don't matter, but they matter significantly less than
all of the people that they can still reach, the
millions of people who are watching at bars, rest and
the comfort of their homes, whatever the case may be.
It's kind of changed the model of how they monetize

(23:05):
these things as a professional sports league now football, to
your point, is obviously different, a much smaller inventory. We
can have more of these conversations as the show rolls along,
but I do want Martin to get us caught up
on what's happening, especially at a ghost Right now.

Speaker 4 (23:21):
Roy McElroy back in sole possession of first place. He's
got the lead. I should say, he's twelve under as
he's about to put this in here. Cam Young two,
he's in second place with eleven under. Sam Burns is
third at ten, Shane Lowie fourth, and you got two
guys tied at fifth, Justin Roseen, Jason Day three, tied
at seven. Scotti Scheffler was seven under today. He shot

(23:44):
a sixty five in the third round.

Speaker 1 (23:46):
So I did.

Speaker 4 (23:46):
Cam Young by the way, now again in second place,
but roared back to really just challenge Rory. Rory even today.
I saw a stat earlier. He's like one of the
few golfers. Yeah, he and Tommy Fleetwood are the He Tommy.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Fleefood and Chris got her up.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
With the three golfers in the top twenty, who are
you know, not under par So Rory really just kind
of tried to keep pace today. In Major League Baseball,
the bottom of the seventh inning. The Reds lead the
Angels five to three. The bottom of the seventh inning
as well, the A's lead the Mets seven to six.

(24:24):
Top of the second the Yankees lead the Rays one
to nothing. NHL SCORESS got a ton of games. The
Kings lead the Oilers won nothing. Two thirty left in
the third period. They are five minutes left in the
second period. The Red Wings with a two to one
lead over the Devils. Saint Louis leads Chicago three to two,
six thirty left in the second period. Four minutes left
in the second period. Nashville leeds Minnesota two nothing. Scoreless

(24:47):
between the Rangers and the Stars, the Hurricanes leading to
Mammoth two to nothing, five minutes left in the second period.
Mammoth stealed a playoff berth in just their second season.
Dufty May has agreed to a new con track the
University of Michigan men's basketball head coach going to remain
in that position for quote many years to come, per

(25:08):
Athletic Director Award Manuel. That was a comment made during
the celebrations celebrating Michigan's national championship in men's basketball. Bucking
bridget back to you.

Speaker 1 (25:21):
She is, Bridget Connon. I'm Buck Rising hanging out here
with you on this Fox Sports Saturday. I appreciate Martin
forgetting us caught up. Excellent job, Martin, well done. Best
update I've ever heard in my entire life. See everybody's happy.
Michael Malone is happy because he is the new North
Carolina basketball coach. And this has been such a fascinating

(25:43):
story from my standpoint. Bridget, I don't know how big
a college basketball fan you are.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
So I used to cover Carolina. I cover Carolina Duke
and NC State for four years. So I was there
during the Zion Williamson she blow up situation, when coach
k retired and when Roy Williams retired. So I have
always paid attention to UNC and Duke very heavily, and

(26:08):
so this whole situation is really fascinating to me. It's
just the more UNC Athletics makes these moves, the more
I just look at them as a professional organization. Right,
They're no longer a college team, just going out and
getting Bill Belichick. Even going back to when they got
Mac Brown, that was the first move they made where

(26:31):
I thought, Okay, this program is different than just your
ordinary college athletics program, and now going out and getting
another former NBA coach, a coach who won an NBA
championship three years ago. It just says that they are
all in. I'm just curious where they get this money from.
More than fifty million over six years, one of the

(26:53):
highest coaches in terms of salary, and it's his first
head college coaching job. Of as I mentioned, he was
with the Nuggets for many years, ten or eleven seasons
twenty fifteen to twenty twenty five, won the championship in
twenty twenty three. If I'm a college player, I'm excited
because this is a blueprint for how you get to

(27:15):
the league.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
Right.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
He knows what it takes. He knows the kind of
physical attributes you'll need to survive in the NBA. He
knows he has the contacts. He has, you know, connections
with agents and all these people. That is great. It's
just going to be interesting to me how he deals
with nil the recruiting in the portal system, which has

(27:39):
been issues for some of these great older coaches. I'm
not gonna say he's like old, but you know what
I'm saying, Like it's just a it's a different kind
of situation for these coaches, especially coming from the NBA.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Well, and it's it's a different job right in the
nil transfer portal era, Which is why I think you
can in this in this kind of a situation. I
wouldn't say that, I wouldn't make it a blanket statement, right,
but I think that you can go out and hire
a coach of a certain caliber. Mike Malone is a
champion in professional basketball. He is absolutely he would have

(28:15):
been viable for any NBA opening when NBA coaches or
when NBA organizations start to change change their coaches, which
is coming up here in the not too distant future,
at the end of the regular season. For a lot
of these clubs, it was it was an interesting side,
not even a side, but like the way that this

(28:36):
was covered was almost like North Carolina is settling for
Mike Malone in at least a lot of the coverage
that I saw, And I couldn't wrap my head around
it because Mike Malone is a very accomplished coach. He's
not some schlub.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
Who did they want who did they want them to get? Well,
that's the thing, because everyone I talked to you was ecstatic.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
The the other. Well, I think it's more about every
everyone you everyone you talk to, as far as people
in that area. Yeah, okay, that makes sense because nationally
we understand that there are different levels of dialogue than
there are locally. Right, locally, this can make a lot
more sense than people can have a different reaction than
what seemed to be the national reaction of what are

(29:14):
they doing doing hiring Mike Malone when he's never coached
in college and I'm trying to figure out why the
hell does that matter in a time where I'm not
saying that the only recruiting that you have to do
at this stage of college coaching is do I have
a bigger checkbook than the other guy? But it's not
nearly the kind of pound the pavement, sit in the
living rooms, go around and eat all these different dinners,

(29:35):
with all these different recruits in their families type of
job than it was ten twenty five years ago. Why
can't Mike Malone operates at as high a level as
anybody else in this spectrum and also get these guys
more ready for the next level because he's not just
rolling the ball out there the way that some of
these college programs do. He's actually running plays and concepts

(29:58):
and getting dudes ready for the NBA.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
And here's the other thing. You look at some of
these big time college coaches, like for example, Roy Williams
coach K the reason why they retired was because they
didn't want to deal with this. They don't want to
deal with the recruiting, the NIL, all of those, all
of the transfer portal, all of that. So a lot
of these coaches who, yeah, maybe have been a college
coach for five, ten, fifteen years, have more experience as

(30:20):
a college coach, but they don't have much experience dealing
with the transfer portal. That's what five years old, it's not.
It hasn't been around a long time with NIL. When
did NIL come twenty twenty? Like this? These are fairly
new concepts that these coaches that have long time been
in college are still having to get used to. So
why do you think an NBA guy can't get used

(30:43):
to it? I think it's going to be an adjustment,
but I don't think it's something that he won't be
able to master.

(31:12):
are going to talk about this new article on The
Athletic about John Gruden and the level of dysfunction that
the Raiders organization was experienced at the time, and talk
about why it's just now coming to light. She's Bridge
of Condon. I'm Buck Rising. It's Fox Sports Radio. You're
listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Welcome back to the

(31:35):
show on this Fox Sports Saturday. She's Bridge of Condon.
I'm Buck Rising, hanging out here with you. We got
Mary and I and holding it down Martin two in La.
Appreciate them from making the show happen. So for some reason,
this week in The Athletic there was a long form
piece by Zach Kiefer, who does excellent work longtime Colt's

(31:57):
reporter has since turned into a national NFL columnist for
the Athletic, but this was some very very detailed reporting,
long form reporting on the end of John Cruden's time
with the Las Vegas Raiders, which I did not expect
to be reading about this week, and we understand why
John Gruden is no longer the coach of the Las

(32:20):
Vegas Raiders, and it's ironically enough, not because of anything
that you learned from this piece. It's because of those
emails that were leaked where he was sending homophobic messages,
where he was saying very salacious and problematic things, both
on the racial side. I mentioned the homophobia component of it.
There was just a lot of bad behavior that he

(32:41):
was comfortable putting in his emails at the time that
were published and were leaked in communications that the league did,
especially referencing Roger Goodell as the league's commissioner. John Gruden
in an active lawsuit as a matter of fact, as
far as the what was available, whether he was blackmailed,
and a lot of this stuff is going to come

(33:01):
out in discovery over the course of the next couple
months as this case continues years later to be litigated.
So maybe that's why we're reading it this week, Bridget.
But there's a lot of details in there about the
coach himself and about how the culture that he was
brought in there and paid a significant amount of money
to create kind of caved in on itself in a
number of different ways. Assuming I assume that you've read

(33:24):
the bulk of the piece, if not the entire piece
at this point. Again, well done by Zach Kiefer for
some details that haven't been out there before. What was
the most damning thing you found the most damning detail
you found in this article on the Athletic about John.

Speaker 2 (33:37):
Grud Yeah, it was a fantastic article. I think just
the fact that Mark Davis pursued him for six years
or ten years and then gave him a ten year
contract for one hundred million dollars was insane. The end
of the article really stoock out to me, and I
want to read it to you. They're talking about his
position as not only the head coach, but he really

(34:00):
had ownership over the general manager, right like anybody that
he wanted. It was so interesting when they talked about scouting,
the fact, I mean, there's so many things now that
are coming back to me when we talk about the
draft and they had two different draft boards, Like the
head coach and all the coaches had a draft board,
and then the scouting department had a second draft board,

(34:21):
which is not normal. You usually come up with one
draft board, your scouts, your coaches, everybody's on the same page.
And they said that John Gruden, if there was a
player that the scouts were really high on, if he
didn't like him, he would ask like an assistant to
compile a bunch of videos of the specific player's worst moments.

(34:41):
And that is just crazy. It's almost like, why are
you even work Why do you even have a scouting
department if you're going to go in there and tell
them that what they're doing isn't correct and not good enough.
But then at the end, what really stuck out to
me was the last paragraph where they're quoting mayok, excuse
me and says that I asked him, how many teams

(35:03):
do you really worry about on an annual basis? He
thought for a second and said six or seven? He
said why? He said, well, the other twenty five are
going to eliminate themselves. And that is so true, especially
with the NFL, and I think we've seen it with
the Raiders over the I don't even know how long
it's been going on, but these situations that they find

(35:25):
themselves in are only brought on by themselves.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Well, and I mentioned. We were joking at the start
of the show about the way that the organization that
I cover, the Tennessee Titans, has aged me over the
course of this. I mean, this is coming up on
my tenth season covering them, and they have been very
competitive for a period of time, and then they cratered
themselves in ways that felt unthinkable. I mean, before the
Bengals and Joe Burrow arrived on the scene in the AFC,

(35:52):
it felt like the Kansas City Chiefs, the Baltimore Ravens,
the Buffalo Bills, and I would have put the Tennessee
Titans as one of these contending teams in the mix
before the Joe Burrow phenomenon took hold, and you saw
Cincinnati kind of edge a team like Tennessee out because
they had the better quarterback situation. They made it to

(36:13):
the Super Bowl at the expense of Tennessee, who was
the number one seed that year that they ended up
the Bengals losing to the Rams in twenty twenty one.
And I come back to the idea that bad organizations
stay bad for a reason, and sometimes you get lucky
with some pieces and parts coming together in ways that
you didn't really plan for and that covers up some
of the problems, some of the dysfunction that you have.

(36:35):
And I'd go to two paragraphs ahead of the paragraph
that you just read from Bridget where they're talking about
and they're quoting anonymous sources here in the piece by
Zach Kiefer, Antonio Pierce was given a crap roster. Pete
Carroll was given a crap roster. The underlying issue is
that Mark talking about Mark Davis, the owner here, has
never really respected the general manager position. He let Gruden

(36:58):
pick Mayock, then he let Josh McDaniels pick his best
friend as general manager. Dave Ziggler, by the way, is
here in Tennessee's an assistant GM here. Now he let Tom.
The quote goes on to say, now he lets Tom
Brady do the same thing with spy Tech, which is
a dig at John spy Tech, who's getting ready to
make the number one overall pick here. So we don't

(37:20):
know how the Tom Brady John Spy Tech now Clint
Coopiak as the head coach situation is going to go.
All I know is that this organization in the Raiders,
whether they're in localand whether they're in Las Vegas run
by the Davis family has been the stuff of nightmares
for damn near two decades. Fitzi is regularly on this show,
Bridget He's a diehard Raiders fan. He's one of the

(37:41):
most tortured sports fans I know because of this organization.
And I'm looking around and saying, yes, there are some
problems with the way that John Gruden does business in
this second iteration of him, But where who is allowing
John Gruden that leash well, that market ownership.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
That's the problem. I say this with NFL teams when
people always ask me about how it works behind the scenes.
You have these business men, these billionaires running organizations. How
did they become billionaires? Because they're quick, they're smart, they
get reaction, they get results quickly. Right And in business
it's very well, I'm saying, like in their business like,

(38:19):
that's how they became billionaires, right, Like, that is how
it works in the business world. You put in, you
come up with a plan, you hire certain people, and
you work hard and you see the results. That is
not how the NFL works, and I think it's very hard.
I've covered the Carolina Panthers for many years and David
Tepper is one of the owners that come to mind

(38:39):
when I talk about this. It is very hard for
people who find success in the business world to then
come into the NFL world and do xyz that they're
told to do, because most of them have never ran
an NFL team before, and they don't see the results.
And then we see this domino effect of them making
rash decisions that in turn are probably making the situation

(39:01):
even worse. And that's because people want these immediate results.
It's not going to happen in the NFL well.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
And the other component of this is and it's not
a lot of NFL owners, in fact, I'd say it's
probably a little less than a third who are like
Mark Davis in the sense that they've inherited their ownership
stake in their team, whether it be Gayle Benson with
the Saints and obviously getting the team from her husband
Amy Adams strunk here in Tennessee, but Adams chas but

(39:28):
Adams one of the founding members of the AFL who
then helped form the NFL as we know it today. Right,
there's a lot of inherited situations. The Colts carly Ers Gordon.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
Has been yeah, but come on, you don't see Mark
Davis on the sideline with a clipboard in a headset.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
I'm not comparing all of them. I'm not trying to
lump all of them in. I'm just saying that there
are a lot of different people who don't have that
kind of experience that are making these decisions at the
top of the heap stick. Here on Fox Sports Radio,
we'll keep talking about it. You're listening to Fox Sports
Welcome back on this Fox Sports Saturday. She's Bridge of

(40:04):
Condon hanging out here with us in for Jason fitz
Fits the on assignment for the Indoor Football League. The
NFL season for a handful of teams is already underway.
Bridget here in Tennessee and in nine other markets, practice
started essentially Phase one, or i guess the pre phase
one of the offseason program for ten clubs who do

(40:27):
have new head coaches, got them the opportunity to get
a head start, get out on the field early, start
to develop some team chemistry with the vets ahead of
all of these teams getting ready to add new players
via the NFL Draft. So we still have a handful
of transactions that are going and there will be more,
of course, there's always a post draft wave of free agency.

(40:51):
But one of the news items as we were wrapping
up the week is that the Eagles are adding additional
wide receiver depth and they traded for Dante Wicks, who
was formerly of the Green Bay Packers. So the Eagles
sent the Packers a twenty twenty sixth fifth round pick
and a twenty twenty seven sixth round pick in exchange

(41:12):
for Dantavian Wicks, who is going into the final year
of his rookie contract. Now, in one world, we could
just talk about Dontavian Wicks and the player that Philadelphia
is adding, But is there any conversation to be had
about any transaction that Philly makes without bringing up AJ
Brown Because that's immediately where everybody started to jump. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Absolutely, I think that is the more important story and
the bigger story. And happy for Dantavian Wicks, but him
coming to Philadelphia. I want people to understand that is
not a replacement for AJ Brown. He's not the player
that AJ Brown is. Whether he is on their team
with or without AJ Brown, he will not fill the
same role that AJ Brown has filled in Philadelphia because

(41:53):
AJ Brown is a much better person. Sorry, Zorr. Where
did that come from? Sorry, he's catching strains much better player.
I don't know either of these guys like that. I mean,
I've interviewed books. Sorry, well, what's on my mind?

Speaker 1 (42:08):
Much better post.

Speaker 2 (42:12):
But yeah, I think all the questions around AJ Brown,
and for people who don't understand, he can't. He's not
going to be traded before June first, because if they
trade him before June first, they're going to take more
than a forty million dollar dead money cap hit. After
June first, it's about twenty million. So I think there's
going to be and this is this is what happens

(42:33):
in the offseason when there's not much going on, is
we hear the same stories over and over every single day,
and so we're gonna hear AJ Brown trade conversation for
the next two months every single day probably, And this
just amplifies that because now they have another wide receiver.
I still think they need to go after a wide
receiver in the draft to help with Dontavian Wicks. And

(42:55):
obviously they have DeVante Smith, who is their number one. Honestly,
I think it's time for them to move on from
AJ Brown because it's just one of those situations where
he's a great player. And yes, there have been some
a lot coming out about you know, we've seen him
reading the book on the sideline and there had been

(43:16):
you know, tweets and social media and we just see
that in today's stage where players aren't getting the ball
enough and they go express that on social media. And
aj Brown has been one of those players. But he,
in my eyes, is a number one and so is
DeVante Smith, and that gets challenging when you're a player,
think about the NFL. You are the best of the best, Okay,

(43:40):
to be not only in the NFL but on a
very good team as a starter, and you feel you
should get the ball more. I understand it, right, you're
a competitor and why not love that as a coach,
But they just can't. They can't do that because they
have DeVante Smith and Jalen Hurts and it's just it's

(44:02):
not working out. So move on, and I think it'll
be fine for both parties, involves whoever their trade partner
ends up being.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
Well. Is your opinion affected at all by the reporting
of Jeremy Fowler with the piece on ESPN dot com.
I think that was not this past week, but the
week before talking about some of the issues around Jalen
Hurts and some of his, for lack of a better term,

(44:31):
stubborn qualities as far as what he was comfortable with
in the offense and is he having input on that
offense that looked to be stagnant and ultimately got Kevin
Petullo fired, who was this year's Eagles offensive coordinator. I
say this year's because it seems like they cycle through
them with such regularity. And I and I'm you know,
I'm not defending some of the AJ behavior, Bridget, especially

(44:54):
because having seen it up close and personal for three
years here, it's not the same media market as Philadel.
It's not going to be hyper scrutinized the way that
it was in Philly. And AJ was just breaking out
onto the scene as a second round draft pick at
Ole Miss when he got to Tennessee in twenty nineteen
and then started to ascend. But I know, I'm familiar
with AJ's behavior. I'm not going to excuse all of it,

(45:17):
even though I understand it. I feel like Jalen Hurts
gets a little bit of a pass in some of
those criticisms that AJ Brown gets on a regular basis
when and we're just reading the reporting that is available
to us, But that Fowler report comes out and I'm
looking around and being like, well, is aj even the
biggest problem?

Speaker 2 (45:35):
OKAYO A lot to unpack here from Buck. My question
is would this article come out during the season? Probably not.
Is this again something that's gaining a lot of traction
because there aren't a lot of other stories going on. Yes,
can a quarterback, like, let's just be honest, can a

(45:56):
quarterback be more of a diva than any other position
on your team?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (46:00):
And Jalen Hurts is a good quarterback, and I think
he gets a lot. I think people want to hate
Jalen Hurts for I mean, we can just I think
there's a lot.

Speaker 1 (46:10):
Do you really feel that way because he's he seems
you know, as a personality, there's nothing polarizing about him, right.

Speaker 2 (46:17):
Yeah, I feel like people want a reason to not
like him.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
I mean maybe I'm from Boston and so again, my
like perception is different because Patriots fans definitely want to
hate Jalen Hurts. But I I don't know. I think
where there's smoke, there's fire, absolutely, And but how much
do we not know about the thirty one other starting

(46:41):
quarterbacks and how common are these kinds of situations.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Yeah, I'm again it's it's easier that the more simple
solution is to move AJ if there's a falling out there.
But the reason that I bring it up at all, Bridget,
is because I know how close they were before AJ
got traded from Tennessee to Philadelpha.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
So you think there's issue with Jalen and Aj.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yes, absolutely, But like.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
The biggest issue as to why he needs to leave AJ?
You think the biggest reason why Aj Brown needs to
leave the Eagles is because of the relationship with Jalen Hurts.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
I think it's clearly contributing to all of the things
that AJ is dealing with and trying to find ways
to express but doing it poorly the way that he's
kind of always done. He's very reactionary, and that's fine.
He's very emotional. That's also fine. You need to be
both of those things to be a highly successful professional athlete,

(47:40):
and he is exactly that. He's also getting closer to thirty,
so he becomes more expendable. He did not give And
I don't know how you feel about this. I always
have a very hard time working effort, like a lack
of effort into the analysis because I don't know what
you're going through, or what your body feels like or

(48:03):
what I'm seeing that makes sense to me as a
lack of effort or a lackadaisical approach. That may be
completely different. So I don't volunteer this criticism lightly. But
AJ didn't give full effort last year. I think that
was pretty evident to everybody involved, and people in Philadelphia,
not just the fans, but when you talk to people

(48:25):
around that situation, those sentiments are echoed. He's also dealing
with something he doesn't look healthy. So the far cleaner
solution is to move AJ. I'm not saying that Philadelphia
should move on from Jalen Hurts or even consider anything
of the sort, just because he may also have some

(48:47):
behavioral stuff to do with this. The cleaner solution is
to move AJ, and there's a number of different reasons
why this is happening. I also think that a fresh
start from Philadelphia would do anybody good after a couple
of years.

Speaker 2 (48:58):
Here's my question, Yeah, how many NFL starters do you
think are dealing with behavioral issues that we don't hear
about real issues or ego issues.

Speaker 1 (49:12):
Ego issues, I would say, all of them at various
points of their career exactly.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
And I think it's good that we don't hear about
all of them because I'm not like scrutinizing them at all. Like,
if you are that competitive and you are that talented,
and you have been told your whole life that you
are that guy, that's just that's who you are. And
if I'm the owner of a team, I want my
best player or one of my best players to be

(49:40):
wanting the ball all the time, right Like I want
that competitive drive. It's when you stop caring that I
would be concerned about. And it just makes me wonder
sometimes why we hear about certain players versus the others
behavior issues or ego.

Speaker 1 (49:56):
Issues fair And I think, at least from my standpoint,
I I would understand why somebody would look at AJ
right now and be like, well, you're not giving full effort,
and this is affecting the way that you care about
this thing that we're all trying to work towards, and
that makes you a larger part of the problem than
anybody else at this point in time. Even though at
your height, you are one of the best wide receivers

(50:17):
in the NFL. I don't know what the shelf life
on AJ is going to be. That way, it's once
a wide receiver gets He's not thirty yet. He will
be here in the near future. But once you get
to that point, your check engine light at that position
starts to come on a lot more. And he's somebody
who in Tennessee dealt with some knee things. He had
to get a couple of cleanups while he was here

(50:38):
that did impact him at various points. It does feel
like he's not the best version of himself on top
of all the other things that we're talking about here.
But for Philadelphia, even if you aren't, it feels like
they are heading on a path of inevitability to move
AJ Brown post June one. But even if you, even
if you can't or whatever may happen, the d'antavian Wicks

(51:00):
move is just smart business, like you're just hedging your bets.

Speaker 2 (51:03):
I one hundred percent agree. I don't think it necessarily. Again,
like as I said in the beginning of this segment,
getting don Tavian Wicks does not replace AJ Brown. They're
two very different players. I think there's a lot of
familiarity there. Obviously, the Packers quarterbacks coach now the offensive
coordinator with the Eagles. Wicks comes from the Packers, played
three seasons there, started eighteen games, thirty catches for three

(51:27):
hundred and thirty two yards. His best season came a
couple of years ago. So he's not he's not a nobody,
but he's not an aj Brown And it's just why
not add to the competition. And again, the NFL Draft
is coming up, and it'll be interesting to see what
the Eagles do, but I wouldn't be surprised if they
get one of these receivers early in the draft.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
We have a lot of other sports things to talk about,
but Bridget texted.

Speaker 2 (51:50):
Me and I, God, are we going to do it?

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Yeah? We have to talk about Artemis and the Crew
and the return to Earth on Friday evening because I well,
first and foremost, I want your thoughts because I.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
Know you're having a thought whole I have a whole thing.

Speaker 1 (52:04):
Okay, Well we have time that we have a little
wiggle room here, So that's why I wanted to do
it here. I'm gonna clear seed the floor. This incredible
accomplishment of humanity, of the best of us, of the
smartest of us, and something that's just going to make
you feel good no matter how many other bad things
are happening in the world. Bridget Condon share your thoughts
on the Artimist too.

Speaker 2 (52:24):
I first want to say, if you didn't watch the
splash down, turn off the radio and just go go
think about yourself. There was one friend of mine that
was like, what are you talking about? Like, what would
you say, so turn off the radio when our show's over?
Oh obviously, sorry, I'm producing it. I did have one

(52:46):
friend say like that she had no interest in it,
and I just it kind of made me rethink our
friendship if we're being honest. Anyways, But okay, the Astronauts
showed us what sports can do on a universal level, right,
Like we've all been desperate, desperate for unity, and for
ten days everybody was watching, rooting for the same team.

(53:07):
What we just watched those Astronauts. That's the kind of
moment that reminds you what sports actually does. It Honestly,
Buck felt like a ten day super Bowl. We talk
all the time about how divided everything feels right now,
different opinions, different sides, constant noise, and then something like
this happened, and for a minute I was like, WHOA, Okay,
none of that matters. Ten days, everybody was watching the

(53:28):
same thing, everybody was pulling for the same outcome. There
wasn't a debate, there wasn't a split. It was just like,
let's get these guys home safely. And then you realize
how rare that is now, that it doesn't matter where
you're from, what you believe, who you root for, one
shared experience, one story, one result that everybody was cheering
for yesterday here in California around five o'clock. That's what

(53:50):
sports is supposed to be. At its best. Sports strips
everything else away. It gives you something simple, a common goal,
a shared emotion, a reason to came. And we don't
get that feeling as often as we used to do,
so this was that. And for US millennials, we're so
used to major events that added end in tragedy, so

(54:11):
to see this it was so incredible. Honestly, was so
locked in checking the updates. I was watching the live
stream on YouTube from NASA. Honestly almost started crying. I
don't want to admit that, but it just yeah, it
just felt like this is what's important. It reminds you
despite everything else, all the noise, all the division, people

(54:32):
still want the same things. We want something to rally around.
We want something that brings us together. And for a
few days, that's what we had. It wasn't about sides
or takes. It was just about people. And I am
just so impressed with the four astronauts Read Wiseman, Victor Glover,
Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen who went to space. They

(54:54):
traveled the farthest that any person has ever gone, all
the way around the backside of them. Moon showed us
these incredible pictures. And I don't know about you, but
when you look at that picture of the Moon with
Earth in the background, it just for me seeing that
picture one it makes you realize that nothing matters. We're
so small in the grand scheme of things. But also

(55:16):
we're all on the same team. We're all together on
Earth sharing this human experience, no matter how much we
want to feel distant and different from one another. And
I don't know, I just felt like it was what
we needed.

Speaker 1 (55:32):
I feel like if I try to add anything to this,
I'm going to ruin the segment.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
I am so obsessed with this, Like I beautiful when
I tell you. I've been on Reddit every single night
this weekend or this this week just looking up about
these astronauts. I cannot get enough. And I wish I
was smart enough to be an astronaut because I want
to go to space. But as an astronaut, you know
how celebrities went last year and they just went and

(55:58):
turned around just to say they could go to space,
and they paid all this money.

Speaker 1 (56:01):
Well, like, did they really get into space? They just
kind of covering in between the atmosphere and what is
technically space.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
I think it's so fascinating and I, oh my god,
the way that they the rocket launches and it has
to be this precision and then coming back into the
atmosphere and they have to do it at the proper
angle or else it was going to be too hot.
And just watching that like, oh my god, are they
gonna make it okay? It was just I'm like, it
was amazing. I don't know what else to say. I mean,

(56:30):
it was absolutely amazing. And if you don't care about it,
I don't care about you. I feel like it's you.
You didn't watch. Be honest, I didn't watch did you
watch the splash down.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
I didn't watch the splash down. I watched the launch.
Oh god buck, Okay, Well.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
You weren't curious if they were gonna, I don't know,
make it home alive.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
No, of course I was curious. I have had I'm
reading I don't know if you're familiar with the book
Catching the Fire. It's about the original Moon launch. I
went to NASA. Titans obviously play at Houston every year.
I went to NASSA for the first time. I've done
that Houston driven a million times, never never done the Houston,
never taken the tour, never you know, gone through that.

(57:14):
They take you on a little trolley and you go
through all the different pieces of equipment and different ships
that have been sent into space. They've got them basically out,
and it's like, I mean, it's kind of sad. It's
kind of like a graveyard of spaceships that they've got
out at them. But I've been obsessed with it all
year long, ever since I went to Houston. I started
reading this book about the first Moon launch. It's it's
it's incredible stuff, and I bridget I in the same

(57:37):
way that you are upset at people who did not
watch the splash down. I was sitting in the Phoenix
airport on the way back from owners meetings on the
verge of grabbing people next to me and being like,
why you watching? Why aren't you watching? This is one
of the most ridiculous things I've ever seen in my life.
We are we are badasses as a as a society,
as a people, as a as a universe that we

(57:59):
are able to accomplish these kinds of things that you
guys can't even be bothered to look up from your
Sunoco game right and watch this for five minutes on
a free live stream of NASA's no. I felt the
exact same way about the launch that you do about
the splash.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
But it's just and I don't do drugs, I want
to be very clear, but thinking about space makes me
feel makes me feel like I'm high. And because it's just,
I cannot stop thinking about the fact that we are
on Earth in the Milky Way galaxy that is one
of the smallest galaxies out there, and they say there

(58:30):
are what billions or trillions of galaxies what, and we're
just here like talking about I don't know, people throwing
a ball like it's just I tell.

Speaker 5 (58:40):
Rory once again collapsing at the mass.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
I know that which is important. Damn.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
I know that things are important. But it just if
we all could realize the importance of what we're all
doing and the unimportant, Like, just could we just put
everything into perspective and everybody just be less angry and
I don't know, just enjoy one another a little bit more.
I would like that.

Speaker 1 (59:05):
I think that's fair. So now that bridget has discounted sports,
let me tell you that the best pregame show every
weekend to be sure to turn tune into Fox Sports
Radios Countdown presented by bet MGM every Saturday and Sunday
morning from nine am to noon Eastern six to nine
am Pacific. We will count you down to all of
the biggest games of the weekend. Tune into Countdown presented

(59:28):
by bet MGM every Saturday and Sunday morning right here
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart app. That was really,
by the way, beautifully done by bridget Well said.

Speaker 2 (59:38):
It was for the astronauts. They honestly, they need to
get more attention.

Speaker 1 (59:45):
I imagine that they've had the world's attention for quite
some time, and that they were just I bet they're
so ready to be normal people.

Speaker 2 (59:51):
No, I want astronauts to becoming the ones who are
selling me things on social media, be the brand influencers whatever.
Why are they are selling I'm gonna buy it. I
don't want to know what you know.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
Some company is hearing then being like, get me the
Quicket effect. Quick, get me an astronaut.

Speaker 2 (01:00:07):
Get these astronauts to Coachella right now.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
Well, I don't know if Dexter Lawrence is going to
be at Coachella, but he's not gonna. He's trying not
to be in New York. We'll talk about a dext
She's Bridge of Condon. I'm Buck Rising hanging out here
with you on a Fox Sports Saturday because we spent
necessary time, I feel, talking about the astronauts and the

(01:00:31):
accomplishments of the Artemis two crew. We have an abbreviated
segment here to talk about Dexter Lawrence and his trade
request from the New York Giants before Martin gets us
caught up on everything masters, but bridget just quickly here.
Do you think there's a better percentage chance or a
higher percentage chance that Dexter Lawrence is on the Giants

(01:00:52):
when this football season starts, or do you believe he's
going to be somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
I think that he will be on the Giants. Okay,
that's the sentence smartest. I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
It's like, oh, okay, I gotcha.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
I think with John Harbaugh and the whole situation, they
figure it out. I mean, he's severely underpaid and they
don't need to pay him top of the market, but
he's scheduled to make less less than twenty million or
around twenty million this season. Yeah, tenth highest paid into
your defensive lineman. To me, he deserves more than that.

(01:01:30):
It's it's going to be interesting, though, and I know
there's a lot of like conversation. Maybe the Bears make
a move and in the draft, I guess I take
that back, if they're if somebody is willing to pay
a first round draft pick, I think under a first
year head coach John Harbaugh, you obviously do that. And

(01:01:51):
so maybe that maybe he does fit into the Bears.
But I do know, I mean, they want him there.
You know, it's just it's just going to be a
matter of can they can they get the money.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
To work well, And it's not just that to your point,
it's not just the draft capital itself, it's the fact
that you're going to have to give him a new contract.
On the other side of that, in Chicago, obviously around
the rookie quarterback contract, could probably figure out something financially,
but it would be more complicated than that. I'm going
to agree with you and say that I think he's
going to be on the New York Giants roster, and

(01:02:22):
this is more just about leverage of him trying to
get a new deal. Jeffrey Simmons here in Tennessee is
also going to be doing new contract. I mean, he
was on a terrible football team last year, but I
don't think there was a better interior defensive lineman. I
don't know if there's a better pass rushing interior defensive
lineman than Dexter Lawrence when he's at his best. Last
year was not his best, and he was dealing with

(01:02:44):
some injuries throughout the course of that, and they also
struggled as a team, so understanding that there were going
to be some performance ebbs and flows, that's a really
talented player, especially for somebody I know in Denard Wilson,
who was the defensive coordinator here in Tennessee who will
now be the New York I think that Dexter Lawrence
would make a lot of sense for the kind of

(01:03:04):
system that Denard wants to run there. It's just a
matter of what's that worth to the New York Giants?
And is Joe Shane empowered, really truly empowered to make
that decision? If John Harball looks at the situation and says, no,
I think I'm good.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Yeah, I think Harball would want him, though, don't you like,
I feel like he's a guy you want on your
team as you're building.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
Yeah, no, I wouldly he's one of those foundational pieces.
Like if you trade him for a first round pick, well,
is that first round pick going to be even a
fraction of what Dexter Lawrence currently is. He's one of
the best players, one of the best defensive players again
at his best and healthiest, one of the best players
in the sport. So we'll see how that will please pick.

Speaker 2 (01:03:47):
Do the Bears have the twenty fifth? I know, And
here's the thing, this draft doesn't have a ton of
great defensive tackles, right, so I say keep them. You know,
it's just easy for us to say it, right, Well,
so nonchalantly just keep him.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
But it's a pretty I think it's a pretty cut
and dry conversation. No, you'll give that. Pay that man
his money.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
He deserves it. He's making. I mean, come on, he's
not making.

Speaker 1 (01:04:13):
He's been a good soldier in New York when they
haven't been nearly competitive enough during his time there. He's
been there since twenty nineteen. I mean he has played
in OPOS season game, right, just the one m.

Speaker 2 (01:04:27):
When when what year did he Yeah, I'm going to
go with you on that.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
I believe that the only playoff game that Dexter Lawrence
has played in was the one year when Dable won
Coach of the Year and Daniel Jones and then went
to the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:04:41):
Yeah, that sounds right.

Speaker 1 (01:04:43):
Either way, it will be interesting to see what happens
because he's an incredibly talented player, and we'll see what
I think. There was two there was two, Okay, played
in two playoff games. My mistake. Either either way, he's been.

Speaker 2 (01:04:55):
The wild card and they won. They have they won
the wild.

Speaker 3 (01:04:57):
Card right that same year twenty two they won the
wild card game that the divisional and lost.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
That is absolutely.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
Anytime we can make buck wrong we take the opportunity. Yeah, yeah,
I hate the show.

Speaker 1 (01:05:14):
You there. Oh, don't worry, I'm still here. Hang out, Martin,
Are you there? Bail me out? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:05:25):
That would Daniel Jones' playoff win in New York. Dextra
was a was a part of that. Kevin O'Connell lost
that game, and I believe that is if we're talking
about one playoff game, I think that's it right there
for Kevin O'Connell too, because I.

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Forgot the wildcar for Sam Tarkan.

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
Yeah, but outside of that, no wins for Kevin O'Connor
in the postseason one because Brian Dabon and Daniel Jones
went into Minnesota and beat him. Who thought, uh, you know,
probably a few people would have thought that Roy McRory
would have had trouble today, But I don't know about
this much trouble. He had a six shot lead to
go in to the round three of the Masters. He's
out tied for first with Cam Young.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
Roy had a rough day.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
He was the only person only golfer in the top
ten who didn't shoot under parts today. Came Young shot
a sixty five.

Speaker 1 (01:06:12):
Again.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
There was both tied at eleven under Sam Burns ten
under in third place, Shane Lowry nine under and fourth
got two guys tied at fifth. Scottie Scheffler shot a
sixty five, trying to roar back into competition there. In
Major League Baseball, top of the sixth inning, the Yankees
and the Rays.

Speaker 1 (01:06:28):
Tied one apiece.

Speaker 4 (01:06:29):
Middle of the second inning, the Brewers and National scoreless
Guardians have won nothing lead over the Braves. In the
top of the second. The Giants and the Orioles are scoreless.
Top of the second inning and at the also again
top of the second scoreless between the Red Sox and
the Cardinals. In the NHL, the Blues just beat the
Blackshawk the Blackhawks five to three. Stars beat the Rangers

(01:06:52):
won nothing to I mean sorry, Stars lead the Rangers
won nothing. Two minutes left in the third period, three
minutes left in the third period. The Hurricanes lead the
Mammoth three to one to nothing. Panthers lead the Maple
Leafs ten minutes left in the first period, eight minutes
left in the first period. The Blue Jackets have a
two to one lead over the Canadians. The Flyers lead
the Jets three to one and ten minutes left in

(01:07:14):
the first period. Eight minutes left in the first frame
for the Flames and the crack in that game is scoreless.
Dusty made, the coach of the National Championship winning Whoopstring
and Wolverines on the men's side of things, has agreed
to a deal that'll have them continuing to lead the
Wolverines for quote many years to come, says athletic director
Ward Manual. That was at a celebrating a celebrating a

(01:07:35):
ceremony celebrating Michigan's tournament championship, and you know what, Buck,
I gotta say, Manti's a better update anchor.

Speaker 2 (01:07:45):
But she doesn't bring the guitar.

Speaker 1 (01:07:46):
She doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:07:47):
Yeah, she does bring the car.

Speaker 5 (01:07:48):
But I know this.

Speaker 4 (01:07:51):
I just wanted to you know, it's been a running bit,
but I wanted to go ahead and just let it
die because I say it myself all the time and
the show afterwards. Buck goes out Saturday night and that's feeling.

Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
I'm sure he's with the lady in that moment.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
So I just wanted to just own up.

Speaker 1 (01:08:05):
Wow, that's what I appreciate that shade, Bridget, I don't
appreciate that shade.

Speaker 2 (01:08:09):
Is this shade though, It's just truth.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
Okay, that's because Mary knows more than she needs to.

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
Well, I heard some stuff from Carmen.

Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
Oh no, you can't blame me.

Speaker 1 (01:08:21):
I'm not calm my girl.

Speaker 2 (01:08:25):
That's my girl.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Yeah, I Carmen. Carmen has seen me at my very,
very worst.

Speaker 2 (01:08:31):
So here's a good question for you. Are there more
women on your roster or Tennessee women's basketball?

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
I plead the fifth yours. It is not the lady
of balls.

Speaker 4 (01:08:47):
I can.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
What you could. So what you're telling us is you
could staff that roster with your ladies.

Speaker 1 (01:09:00):
There is no way for me to answer that question
without sounding.

Speaker 2 (01:09:02):
Like practice players as well, starting five plus practice squad.

Speaker 1 (01:09:10):
You know what I again, it's called Peter Pan syndrome.
It happens to a lot of guys in Nashville. You
don't have to grow up at a certain point. And
so I'm still battling that. I'm still seeking treatment on
a regular basis.

Speaker 2 (01:09:21):
We're here for you as you develop.

Speaker 1 (01:09:23):
She's pretty condon. I'm buck rising. Speaking of things that
we want in Nashville. I want a w NBA team
in Nashville. We're not getting one this time around.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Wait wait, wait, After we just talk about you having
a roster of ladies. Then you're like, give me the WNBA. No,
I you want WNBA so that you can watch the talent,
not to like go on hinge.

Speaker 1 (01:09:51):
Who's going on? Hinge? No, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:09:53):
I've been out of the game for years.

Speaker 1 (01:09:55):
People go on, No, I'm an in person.

Speaker 2 (01:09:57):
Are you a Tinder guy?

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
No, I'm a I'm at the bar or at the
wherever we are social setting. I need to I need
I need person a person interaction. I can't do the
dating app.

Speaker 2 (01:10:08):
All right, So bring a w NBA team to Nashville.
Don't let buck have season tickets.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
It's kind of something to do with the fact that
I love basketball. I went basketball at Nashville. We can't
have the Grizzlies, even even though Lebron hates Memphis and
wants the Grizzlies to move to that. I mean, it's
just Chef's Kiss Memphis.

Speaker 2 (01:10:27):
Can Did you see the video of the guy who
went into that hotel and like took a video of
it and was like, hey, this is the hotel Lebron
hates and it was actually and I said, oh my god,
it was a great, great social media moment. He like
literally flew Yeah, I think it was on TikTok. He
flew there and rented a room just so that he
could make this video. It was incredible content.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
And is Lebron correct? Is it a dump?

Speaker 2 (01:10:50):
No, it's a great hotel. I'd say, there, are you
kidding me?

Speaker 1 (01:10:52):
Is it? Is it the Peabody Hotel with the ducks?

Speaker 6 (01:10:54):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
I think it's the Hyatt, right.

Speaker 1 (01:10:56):
Okay, well yeah, then he's being dramatic. Shock. Yeah, no
one either way, We in Nashville are getting passed over
because we came up with a team named Peyton. Manning
is involved with the Leader group. It's the Tennessee Summit
for Pat Summit.

Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Cute.

Speaker 1 (01:11:10):
Yeah, it's It's one of the best names I think
I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (01:11:13):
A mascot would be just like a mount in somebody
dresses as.

Speaker 1 (01:11:17):
I would think it would be like a like a
mountain climber, maybe not necessarily a mountain.

Speaker 2 (01:11:22):
Okay, we got to work on that.

Speaker 1 (01:11:24):
Okay, you know it's again. When we get the team,
then we can focus on the mascot. Philly, Detroit, Cleveland
all officially approved for NBA expansion. Do we think that
this is the right time on the heels of a
successful collective bargaining renegotiation that we talked to Alicia Clark
on the radio show about last week. She was very

(01:11:44):
decent to come on and share some of that insight
and information on how did I get her to come on? Yeah,
I have a friend at CA that reached out nice.

Speaker 2 (01:11:54):
That's awesome. I'm happy for you.

Speaker 1 (01:11:58):
How many times? How many ways are going to make
me look bad in this segment?

Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
I was being genuine, that's an awesome I unfortunately missed
the show last week, but had I have known, I would. Anyways,
I'm very happy for the WNBA. As you were asking,
is this the right time? This is the right time?
Average salary around six hundred thousand? Am I correct in
saying that?

Speaker 4 (01:12:21):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:12:21):
I read that somewhere way overdue?

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
Yeah, better pay should improve the player retention deep in
the talent pool. Now you're going to have players who
even in high school are good players that might want
to play in college because there's a possibility to make
this a full time profession, which has never been the case.
These WNBA players used to have to play in the
WNBA and play overseas to just make a decent salary.

(01:12:46):
And now because of brand partnerships. The exposure has gained
this massive reach and they're finally getting paid what they deserve.
Shout out to the ladies because it is long overdue,
and absolutely keep expanding it. People are going to show

(01:13:06):
up if there's talent there.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
We're watching there's no question America's favorite game show. Would
you rather next? Wrap it up? Here? On this Fox
Sports Saturday, she's Bridge of Condon hanging out for Jason
fitz Fitsy on assignment with the ifl We're gonna do?
Would you rather hear? In just a second?

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
This is your theme song for the weekend, isn't it?

Speaker 1 (01:13:29):
Sorry perpetually? Yes? Well, Mary was just in the commercial
break giving me advice because my sister just moved to Nashville.
She's nine years younger than me, and so now I
have to act like a responsible adult.

Speaker 2 (01:13:40):
I like you more knowing you have a sister.

Speaker 1 (01:13:46):
Just because there's some balance, because I'm getting tweets at
this point in time like from It's the handle is
scratch Addict. I don't think you're allowed to miss any
more shows at Jason fitz buck Rising keeps getting bludgeoned
by the female host. Poor guy.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Okay, so you just needed to just say that the
people don't like me. You wanted to rub it in
a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (01:14:07):
No, it's it's it's so bad up on me, so
bad that I am being I'm being victimized here, I'm
being people feel pity for me, which is not a
position that I'm usually in.

Speaker 2 (01:14:20):
Okay, anyways, would you rather all right, let's.

Speaker 6 (01:14:23):
Go, it's easy guys, don't think too hard.

Speaker 5 (01:14:28):
Would you rather bucket it's no good?

Speaker 1 (01:14:31):
Or fix it? I think Bridget needs to be here
when FITZI is here for one.

Speaker 2 (01:14:37):
That'd be a fun show. Actually I would love it.
I actually have no idea who this guy is. Yeah,
I should look him up. I have to know him, right,
you will love him though? What's his name? I'm just kidding.

Speaker 5 (01:14:49):
Let's say and spin the wheel?

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
God should be a train wreck.

Speaker 3 (01:15:01):
We have a couple left over from last week, and
this one was brought to me by Mary, so just
just know that she was the one who came up
with this. So would you rather have whoopy cushions in
your shoes? Or every time you clap you also have
to be screaming in terror.

Speaker 2 (01:15:17):
Bridget, Oh my god, in my shoes be embarrassing, but
late high, it's embarrassing only in a very quiet place.

Speaker 1 (01:15:30):
No, no, no, everywhere. Now everybody's gonna hear that. Whoop.
Curses are not quiet.

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Yeah, even in like Times Square. I would be like, wa,
the way every time you walk bro.

Speaker 1 (01:15:40):
The internet of that woman in the mud bath who
may or may not have passed gas and there's a
huge bubble comes up behind her. That's basically the existence
that you're living.

Speaker 2 (01:15:50):
Okay, so you're picking screaming.

Speaker 1 (01:15:53):
Yeah, I mean I'm screaming anyway, I'm yelling. I'm yelling
all the time at this point. What's the difference. It's
a few octaves higher.

Speaker 3 (01:15:59):
Yeah, but this is like you're screaming like cheering and clapping.
This is like you're screaming in absolute terror and clapping
and every time you clap.

Speaker 2 (01:16:06):
Both are pretty embarrassing. Again, you're showing that you don't
have children.

Speaker 1 (01:16:10):
Yeah, spin the wheel.

Speaker 3 (01:16:21):
Okay, would you rather every shirt you ever wear just
get a noticeable hole in it or every pair of
pants you wear get a big noticeable stain on it?

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
Oh yeah, I think the hole in the shirt, right,
the stain on the pants, that's definitely come on, even
if it's like, like I have a pair of sweatpants
right now that for some reason I have I got
a grease stain on it, and I have to take
it to the dry cleaner to get this damn stain out.
You can't just wash a grease stain out, apparently, but

(01:16:52):
it's like it's it's just a humiliatingly placed stain on
my pants. No, I can't have it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:57):
Yeah, ones like you have ratty clothes, that's the whole,
and then ones like you are some other issues.

Speaker 2 (01:17:03):
You're not careful.

Speaker 1 (01:17:04):
One you're raady to your dirty.

Speaker 2 (01:17:06):
Pick I'd rather be rady.

Speaker 1 (01:17:08):
Yeah, I'm with that probably already.

Speaker 2 (01:17:10):
Aph.

Speaker 3 (01:17:16):
This one's from Martin, So I actually had a hard
time answering this one myself.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Submitting yes and I guess would you rather.

Speaker 3 (01:17:23):
I guess yeah. Always always open to hearing submissions. But
would you rather be given five hundred dollars a day
but you can never watch sports ever again? Or would
you rather be given one thousand dollars for every win
your favorite team in any major sport gets?

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
So that's collective one thousand for my favorite team. I'm
from Boston.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Oh yeah, they win all the time. Everything it's disgusting.
I'm an Indiana basketball fan. My team sucks, but they
still should get about you know, sixteen seventeen wins a year,
So I probably take the grand.

Speaker 3 (01:17:57):
Yeah right, Yeah, And it's not just one to you know,
be your Indiana basketball plus your tight end Indiana football,
you know, plus not my Titans.

Speaker 5 (01:18:08):
We've established how Buck feels about you.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):
You could not pay me a thousand dollars?

Speaker 5 (01:18:13):
What about two thousand?

Speaker 1 (01:18:14):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Even then, for how much money would you have to
be a Tennessee Titans like season ticket holder?

Speaker 1 (01:18:24):
For how much money there's you couldn't buy me?

Speaker 2 (01:18:26):
There's not ever, come on, Anyone's gonna do everyone and
will do anything for a price.

Speaker 1 (01:18:32):
No, I don't think that's true. I think I'm so
staunchly against that idea that there is not a number
that you could throw at me.

Speaker 2 (01:18:38):
What about like Bill Gates money, a billion dollars? I'll
cheer for whoever you want me to cheer for for a.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Bill No, I morally, no, I will not.

Speaker 2 (01:18:48):
You are lying to yourself, and maybe that's your first problem.

Speaker 1 (01:18:51):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:18:51):
Actually, I was gonna. I was gonna. I was gonna
say something really nice to you so that people don't
tweet at me. I hope nobody knows who I am
so they can't find my Twitter and think could I'm
this mean girl.

Speaker 1 (01:19:01):
Right after she started off with here's your first problem.

Speaker 2 (01:19:05):
I'm nice. I'm so nice.

Speaker 1 (01:19:07):
We know you quickly quickly. It's been.

Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:19:18):
Would thoughts too late?
