Speaker 2 (00:04):
We don't necessarily live in the most patient society.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
And uh, I think all of us on some level
can admit to that, to admit to being a part
of that. I can tell you, for instance, if I'm
on a long drive, right before I get there, I'm
not the most patient driver. I've been known to scream
the word go at my windshield. It's happened before. Not

(00:27):
my proudest moment, But come on, we're not the most
patient society. I don't know if it's social media. I
don't know if it's just being a human being.

Fresh, that's all. That's all.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
I want something that we didn't prepare or anything I

Which which F one? What are we talking about? Right?
So it started for me with the movie right Brad Pitt.
It was tremendous. I loved it. That's what I remind Yeah,
my kids have seen it. They loved it. It reminded
me of Days of Thunder. Okay with Tom Cruise.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
That got me in the NASCAR, right, Like watching that
movie got me in the going to Nascar. And I
had an opportunity to be really really close with the
CEO and chairman of Diamond Chrysler and they used to
do the Damond Chrysler four hundred in Vegas. So he said, hey,

(02:31):
if you like NASCAR. You got to come experience it
like I would experience it. And so we took the
helicopter and landed in the middle of the field and
you know, all of the bells and whistles. You're and
the owners the sweep with the headphones and the bells
and whistles, right Victory Lane down there, meeting all the drivers,

(02:54):
looking at the cars. And so I was like, oh my,
this is amazing. I remember calling my wife from the
track screaming into the phone like I'm having like a kid.
The cars are so loud, it's amazing. And so that
really got me in the NASCAR. I started really following
and shout out to he's retired now Casey Kahn, who's

(03:17):
a Democrisis driver back then, and it's really cool guy,
really short, all of them really short. But you know,
I got an opportunity to hang out with him and
talk to him and and look at the car. Couldn't
get in the car, couldn't fit in the car. But
Clinton Boyer's driven me around on the track before, Like
I've had my run of of of NASCAR. It's been tremendous.

(03:42):
And so while we watched F one and then I
came home that night and I remember seeing a series
on Netflix called F one Drive to Survive, and I
was like, oh, okay, boom, So I put it on
him and my wife watched the first episode four five
days ago. Okay, it's seven seasons, ten episodes of he's

(04:06):
seventy episodes. Seventy Yeah, we have nine episodes left.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Do you know, Like you and I have talked a
lot right through the years, We've done a lot of
shows together. I know that you live a wonderful life.
You were a professional athlete, you were well compensated for that.
You have beautiful boys, you have a beautiful marriage. You're
a family man. I know that you are still energetic
for life on a daily basis and are doing all

(04:39):
kinds of wonderful things in retirement. Do you know that
when you tell me that you've won, that you've watched
sixty one episodes of something in five days, it is
that moment, that moment right there, that I've been the
most jealous of you.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm not a jealous man.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
That's not who I am.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I don't right make more money, that's it's okay, Like
I have a wonderful life.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I'm very happy that amount of time in a week.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
That makes me jealous. Hey look man, my man.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Sixty one episodes in five days, five days, and my wife.

In this.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
We're going to pass Adena to do the the F
one simulator, the driving course that you can do.

Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yes, okay, well we didn't either.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
We didn't know either, and so you can raise the
whole season. It'll keep your progress and you can come
in and come out, and it's a membership thing. We're
going with some of our other friends who've gotten into
the show to Austin to of the F one in October,

(06:04):

Speaker 3 (06:43):
But I'm gonna find episode two in October. That's when
I have time for another.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
You know, you'd be surprised the time.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Do you know how long it would take me to
watch sixty one episodes of anything?

Speaker 6 (06:56):
It's a good show to have on in the background.

Speaker 5 (06:58):
Also, okay, I'm but I'll want to I want to
lock in. You're gonna lock in, and then you know
you will learn to drive like you.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
I know that one we're talking, My wife and I were.
We're talking to us to each other in terminology. We
didn't know six days ago.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Now you're still gonna talk NBA and NFL with me.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
I don't know, Okay, not quite sure.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
God Hanson a few hours ago tweeted out that we
are in octobox away from NFL Sundays. I'm now not
aware of whether or not you want to be doing
this anymore.

Speaker 5 (07:31):
I don't know. Okay, that's important right now? I know
is thet answer.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
I know that F one is on their summer break
and they're coming back next week.

Speaker 5 (07:41):
Uh in Belgium. I know that I know the.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
First race after the summer break is in Belgium. That
I am familiar with.

Speaker 5 (07:54):
I would uh, okay, the NFL going to Belgium this year.

Speaker 4 (07:59):
I don't know what the NFL is doing. I know
what I'm going to be doing. Okay it look, man,
there's quite a transformation.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Is so good?

Speaker 3 (08:09):
No, listen, wonderful, wonderful And the other thing about it,
I'm gathering just because it's F one, I'm gathering this
would be the difficult kind of content to fall asleep to.

Speaker 5 (08:22):
Oh, it's too, it's it's too. You're in the car.
That's what I need. You're inside of the car.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I can't find something that keeps me awake.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Brother.

Speaker 4 (08:32):
When you talk about holding your breath, yeah, we it's
literally like we're driving. We're riding in the car with them,
like sometimes we forget to breathe, and it's it's that intense.

(08:53):
It's unbelievable. I just it's so fun. And I'll say this,
shout out to Lewis Hamilton, one of the greatest, if
not the greatest F one racer. And look, you know,

(09:14):
no disrespect to Michael Schumacher, all right, no disrespect there,
but Lewis Hamilton winning seven I'm going to give it
to him. Eight World championships in a row, even though
the eighth one was stolen. Oh it's that's how deep

(09:36):
it is, brother, Oh that's how deep it is. Oh
what furious? I still think that championship should be rescinded
and taken from Red Bull and given to Mercedes and
Lewis Hamilton because he won it.

Speaker 5 (09:52):
N square boy. I agree. Look at you.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Look about in two.

but I don't think that'll be like she.

Speaker 5 (14:51):
Does, okay, so this will be easy. Then. I don't
know that she's ever experienced a car race.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Not that it's I know the human store is a
human an element of what's going on, which we love
in any sports so much on that, and the car
itself becomes an athlete a.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
Character, okay, because if your car.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
Is trash, it doesn't matter how good you are as
a racer.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
Shout out to Lewis Hamilton.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
I'm sorry, brother, I don't know what Mercedes did to
that vehicle for the last three years.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
But they have done you a disservice.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
I've been saying for weeks, man, Mercedes, just I can't
believe they've done they did that.

Speaker 5 (15:31):
I can't believe it what they do? You just wait, Okay,
he's fer Yeah, I know it's all over the place.
I'm gonna tell the lady that that's what the F
stands for, and I go.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
You gotta remember that they announced drivers announce where they're
going to be during the season that they're in, which
makes it. This is the dynamic that I that I.
I think you will appreciate their teammates. Two drivers, right,
ten teams, twenty drivers, got it? Each team has two drivers.

(16:11):
When you hear the word team, what do you think about?

Speaker 5 (16:16):
Oh? I think about a group and a common.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Goal, common goal? Well would F one drivers hear the
word team, they think about he's in my way? Right, Well,
that does happen sometimes in my ways?

Speaker 5 (16:33):
And oh, by the way, I hate him. Okay, you're
doing a great job of selling it. I'm selling because
I'm sold.

Speaker 3 (16:42):
And you know that you and I talk about this
a lot. It is it is storytelling. It is it
is about human beings, and so the story could be
about anything, and this is where I will transition and
ask you what is the story that the NBA is
trying to tell us right now? I have some questions
for you because things are too quiet with regard to

(17:07):
Lebron James, and I want to know what exactly it
is that is either happening or is about to happen.
So we'll get to that next and then I know
the rest of the show will probably be about F
one and that's fine.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
It's my new favorite show.

Speaker 3 (17:23):
We're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
I am Mark Willard, and the third member of our
team will be along here in just a couple of minutes.

Speaker 5 (18:39):

(19:15):
happening with Lebron James And what's the mystery?

Speaker 2 (19:19):
What's the mystery that everybody?

Speaker 5 (19:21):
Do you know?

Speaker 3 (19:22):
Like Rich Paul came out with the statement, and the
best I can tell is that some of this is obvious,
which is, well, the Lakers are pretty much about Luca now,
and that was obvious from the moment they made the
trade that that was coming.

Speaker 5 (19:41):
But somewhere between.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
I'm kind of offended because I've never had this in
my career, or I'm kind of offended because you didn't
offer me an extension, or actually I'm not offended at all,
but maybe I should go somewhere else because we're both
kind of ball dominant exterior players, and so I don't

(20:06):
know if this is going to go anywhere that we
wanted to go, and I'm running out of time.

Speaker 5 (20:11):
One of those three or all of them are true.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
I don't know if that means it's headed somewhere, but
people inside the NBA seem to think it might.

Speaker 5 (20:21):
Well.

Speaker 4 (20:22):
All the signs point to it heading somewhere else, simply
simply for the fact that Lebron James has never picked
up a player option in his career. He's always opted
out and got an extension. So the fact that he

(20:45):
opted in things are different, and now whenever he's opted in,
it was to you know, sign a long opted out
it was to sign a long term extension two three
years because he's at faith in the in the in

(21:07):
the organization of trying to win a championship. Now, it
hasn't always worked out in his favor, but I think
this time, having Luca there and them not even talking
to him about the Luca a D trade or you know,
getting his input, I think that alone. We have a

(21:35):
term in professional sports called writing on the wall, and
this is one of those situations where the writing is
on the wall. And you know, I wouldn't be surprised,
and I told you this after last season, I wouldn't
be surprised if Lebron James was traded. I said that
to you. And so you know it's fifty two point

(21:59):
whatever a million this year and one year salary expiring contracts.
So you know, the Lakers have their star of the
future and they're going to build around that and that
doesn't include Lebron.

Speaker 5 (22:14):
And he knows that.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Just like in our organization here, you and I could
be on expiring contracts, but Steve de Segers, he always
uh you know, gets his extension, lifetime deal.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
A lifetime what is this contractor speak of?

Speaker 9 (22:34):
No idea discussing ladies and gentlemen. We do have almost
a final from Saint Louis, which would put Major League
Baseball at the All Star Break. Officially get to that
in a moment, but the MLB Draft has started tonight

Speaker 6 (25:24):
Netherlands we'll get to THE Fifa Club World cup in a.

Speaker 9 (25:27):
Moment but The wimbledon winner was number One Yannick center
in four sets over number Two Carlos.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
Alcarez. Okay, now THE.

Speaker 9 (25:34):
Fifa Club World Cup final was In New jersey. Today
this is a tournament that that's been going on for
the past, month all IN us. Cities it's now a
thirty two team tournament and kind of a precursor for
a co host country like THE, us which is getting
The World cup next, summer to get a dry run
on that type of big event this. Summer and this

(25:54):
is for not national teams, again club. Sides for, Example
Real madrid lost a semifinal badly this week and In New.
Jersey we had a large crowd as, expected over eighty,
thousand and we had a lot of money change in
hands in this tournament because well there's A saudi. Sponsor
and in the Final chelsea shut Out paris And cherman three.

Speaker 6 (26:15):
Nothing.

Speaker 9 (26:17):
OKAY pif is what has created The Live golf project
that we have talked about so often on the. Show
That's Saudi's State Public Investment. Fund they do not only
own soccer clubs in their, country they are the majority
owner of one of.

Speaker 6 (26:31):
The clubs that was in this tournament in the past.

Speaker 9 (26:34):
Week what do you know they're a sponsor of THE
Fifa Club World, cup and apparently they helped essentially bankroll
the DISOWNED tv, deal which is a streaming company that
paid a billion dollars for the world ride rights to
all of these games for the past, month some of
those games appearing ON us CABLE, tv for. Example so
there was prize money to be. Had, chelsea for, example

(26:57):
the eventual champions get money for each, win each time you,
advanced splitting among all your Club so this, Club chelsea From,
england in group play their initial three games of a soccer.
Tournament they won, too they lost. One that's four million.
DOLLARS i, repeat that's just for getting out of the group.

(27:19):
Stage four million dollars in other, words the equal of
what a winner of a live golf tournament. Gets there
was more to come because they advanced to the round of.
Sixteenth that's another seven and a half million. Dollars, oh
onto the quarterfinals that's another thirteen. Mil for this team
they advanced, again that's another twenty. Mil what you win

(27:40):
a semi, final that's thirty million dollars.

Speaker 5 (27:43):
Total or another each. Round oh, my.

Speaker 9 (27:46):
Racking this up total is at least one hundred and
ten million dollars For chelsea to become The Club World champion,
today and the losing side had racked up so much
more that's reportedly going to be at least one hundred
million for.

Speaker 5 (28:03):
That hm Hm back to, You, Well, steve let me
ask you. Something first of, all that's. Crazy do you

Speaker 9 (28:32):
Rest, yeah that's exactly What i've heard. About it honestly, unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Unbelievable my Wife, OKAY i mean my wife is, like
oh we we.

Speaker 5 (28:41):
WE i woke up.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
This morning and she was looking AT f one thing
like the breaking news and, All i'm, like what is?

Speaker 3 (28:49):
It BUT i have mixed feelings right, now BECAUSE i,
LIKE i love that you're excited AND i want to
check it, out but, Like i'm also mindful that you
are probably probably the most Intricate laker, FAN i, know,
Yes and NOW i feel LIKE i bring Up Lebron

(29:09):
james and.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
You're kind of, like, yeah, whatever and you know why
why it's time to move.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
On but but but they're going to move on this summer?
Possibly is That that's WHAT i want to. Know this
is where my head is and not that my head's
not ON f. ONE i can't wait for the show
to end so THAT i can turn it. On but but,
like what a from your? Storyteller, yes what story are

(29:40):
they telling?

Speaker 5 (29:41):
Us they're TELLING i just told.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
You they're telling that there's a new, dawn a new,
day and a new. Trajectory but, when when what's? Happening
it's a current.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
Thing right, NOW i feel like a new ride just
opened To disneyland AND i got in line on the
f first day.

Speaker 5 (30:02):
And now it's one.

Speaker 3 (30:03):
O'clock i've been in line for two and a half
hours AND i still can't see the front of the. Ride,
like what are we? Doing what is happening this? Offseason
in THE? Nba people are arriving At Summer league right.
Now i'm told they're all looking at each. Other you're
gonna do? Anything, no you new.

Speaker 5 (30:27):
What's?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
Happening they're trying to figure, out and it'll be A.
Lebron he has a no trade, clause so it's essentially
where he feels he can go. On a lot of
people are Saying Golden, state and you know it'll be
something he wants to possibly spend the next year or

(30:51):
two chasing a. Championship where that. GOES i tell you,
What Lebron james doesn't want to. Happen whether he knows
it will happen or, not he probably doesn't believe it.
Will but let's just say for the sake of, argument
he stays in L. A, yeah and they win a,
championship WHICH i would.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
LOVE i, MEAN i don't even know if you'll see.
It you'll be watching your. Eight i'll be at the.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Game THE nba finals are doing THE f one break
summer break, Anyway.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Okay thank, goodness good, Lord i'm glad someone thought that.

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Out but what he can't afford to happen is him
won another championship and him not be the FINALS. Mvp
that can't. Happen, wow no, no, no no no no
no no, no why no. No and the thing we

(31:52):
know About lebron and his historic career and. Legacy IT'S i,
mean it's it's unmatched when it comes to longevity and
skill levels at that. Right but the knock, is you,

(32:14):
know the guy he's been chasing is six for six for.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Six this is a stupid.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Knock, yeah but it's whether it's stupid or, not the
reality of the situation is if you give another bullet
to The jordan is the goat and this is why,
argument then YOU i don't know if you can read
that that bullet might be the final. Bullet it's facts.

(32:47):
Though the whole argument is is you, know you can
go however you want to. Go but the fact that
the man he's chasing never played in the game seven,
one six out of the six six finals, MVPs the
all of, that If, jordan what was the biggest thing
they said About steph.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
H that he's won four rings and only ONE nba FINALS, mvp.

Speaker 5 (33:12):
That's the biggest.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
Knock the greatest, shooter but ever to shoot all of
it full TIME mvp first UNANIMOUS.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Mvp But lebron And steph are, counterparts, yes and and And.
Lebron this argument that you're you're saying he's trying to, Win.

Speaker 5 (33:27):
He's never going to. Win absolutely. Not he'll never win.
It it doesn't matter what that went in his.

Speaker 4 (33:31):
Mind Could Lebron james take being in the, finals winning
the championship and not being THE?

Speaker 5 (33:38):
Mvp what do you? THINK i, mean ask a real.

Speaker 3 (33:42):
QUESTION i think that he better be okay with, it
or he shouldn't want to go to the finals.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Anymore that's the. Problem whenever he ends up, GOING i
don't know if he's going to be the. Reason, yeah
well they in the.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Championship that may have, expired like that may not exist.
Anymore he's, forty it's, okay not okay.

Speaker 4 (34:08):
Mine, well then that's the problem with. Greatness, YEAH i hear.
You you see the numbers he put up this. Year,
sure still great, Player, Right so you can't tell someone
who's still great you're not great enough because of your.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
Age well except for reality does when you can look
at the fact that you were then.

Speaker 5 (34:27):
Given reality only hits After, yeah BUT.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
I mean you were given one of the other greatest
players in THE nba and you guys got knocked out
of like first.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Round so Like i've saen so like if they do
The lakers go to the, finals WHICH i hope this,
happens and he's still on the team and they are
winning the, finals And luca's averaging thirty six in.

Speaker 5 (34:51):
Ten you don't think you would like? That and they
win And Luka dantech is the FINALS.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Mvp, yes, well then he should go To charlotte and
just make sure it never.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
Happened with you, guy to remember what he said when
he beat the seventy three and eight team or, so
this makes me the greatest.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Ever, right so if you keep, playing he thinks that.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
Already, right it's to be, hard, yeah, right you want
to add another bullet to the other, side like how
you tell them in your fifth championship you weren't even FINALS.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Mvp whether it is The lebron, situation THE nba as a,
whole and the silence f, one whatever it, is let's
circle back to it at the top of the. HOUR
i have a LITTLE i have a little baseball thing
THAT i need to get off of my chest as

Speaker 3 (37:54):
TEAM i don't know What jacob does as far as
financial interests on the, side but not to my. Knowledge
to my, knowledge he is a rookie pitcher for The Milwaukee.
BREWERS i have spent a career not worrying about who's
in The All Star. GAME i don't. CARE i don't
care LIKE i. Don't it's not something, whenever oh there's a, snub, Whatever,

(38:17):
dude you didn't get voted. In the players, vote the fans.
Vote those are the only two groups that. Matter and
when those results come, in they come. In and if
you didn't make it and you got, snubs just take a,
breath because you're gonna get in as a replacement.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
Anyway SO i don't worry about this.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
Stuff but this happened this, week and it's the first
Time i've ever been offended by something.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
That's happened in An All Star.

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Game Jacob mizierowski is a rookie for The brewers and
he got named to The All star, team Replacing Matthew,
boyd a pitcher for The cups who could not fill
then and be at the. Game do you know how
many Times Jacob mizzierowski has appeared in A Major league?

Speaker 5 (39:05):
Game? Five?

Speaker 2 (39:11):
Five he has pitched twenty five.

Speaker 5 (39:16):
Innings in his. Career in his, CAREER.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
I have got to sit here and think that every
clubhouse around the majors, went excuse, me we spent a
year and a half calling The Brownie james situation in
an international incident because somebody got a free pass that

(39:47):
they didn't deserve into the second round of THE Nba.
Draft what just happened? HERE i get it if you,
like he throws really really. Hard, oh he throws, Hard
so that's a. Sighting then, AGAIN i don't know who doesn't.
Anymore but how do you justify? This how do you justify?

Speaker 5 (40:10):
THIS i don't think anybody. Cares.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Well remember in a couple of years, ago when like
the fourth fifth alternate quarterback was at The Pro. Bowl
sure like guys were Making Pro bowls who had no business.

Speaker 5 (40:27):
Making The Pro bowl?

Speaker 3 (40:29):
Situation, YEAH i, mean it's The Major League Baseball All Star.

Speaker 5 (40:32):
Game but, anyway back to half.

Speaker 1 (40:35):
One, next you're listening To Fox. Sports, yeah we keep on.

Speaker 3 (40:41):
Rolling as we get closer to THE nfl, season we
still scratch our head and try to figure out THE
nba off. Season Major League baseball arrives at The All star,
break AND.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
F one takes over the content.

Speaker 5 (40:57):
World it's. True it's out and about.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Everywhere everyone's talking about, it including us broadcasting Live Fox
sports radio.

Speaker 5 (41:05):
STUDIOS i had a quick question for.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
You did you watch any of The AND i don't,
know this sounds like you don't maybe watch any other sports,
anymore but did you did you check out any of
the The Dodgers giant series this?

Speaker 5 (41:17):
Weekend of? Course, man, Okay dodger, fan you A? GIANT i,
KNOW i. Know it was a great.

Speaker 3 (41:23):
Series it was a great, series really really good. Games,
yeah great. Series dodgers won in ten innings today and
took two out of.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
Three that's what we. Do, Well, yeah.

Speaker 3 (41:35):
Wonderful three forty mile an hour hits in a row
in the eleventh, inning uh to win the.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
Game so.

Speaker 3 (41:44):
Congrats, well, hey, man it, Happens it, Happens it. Happens
Raffy devers one hundred and six mile an. Hour great,
catch great catch in center. Field great. Catch what are
you gonna?

Speaker 5 (41:56):
Do you guys had opportunity we.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Shared oh, boy, yeah, no they don't, hit like they don't.
Hit but here's SOMETHING i want To there's two THINGS
i wanted.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
To ask you. About both of them are fan related.
Apparently AND i didn't get to any of the games this.
Weekend and this isn't, new but.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Like Oracle park or whatever the corporate sponsor is any five,
years but the third and king like where The giants play,
baseball especially in recent years when The dodgers are in.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Town let's just say the color blue is very well.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
Represented, okay it's not.

Speaker 3 (42:38):
Surprising this is A california sports. Thing it gets turned
up a little bit for a couple of. Reasons one
if it's a rivalry, thing and two if it's like,
Overwhelming like there's always been a lot of talk about
when the forty nine ers visit The, rams the whole
damn building is. Red once the dynamic in, Play, well

(42:59):
we could go into a long thing about why it's
like this.

Speaker 2 (43:02):
And how and who and history and all of.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
That it just is what it.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
Is so after Both Friday Night's giants win And saturday
Afternoons dodgers. Win giants players spoke about it after the,
game not in a like, hey, media, people come over,
here give me a. Microphone i've got something to complain

(43:27):
about sort of a. Way but both when they were
asked about, it and even when they were just talking
baseball guys were like.

Speaker 5 (43:39):
Too Many dodger fans.

Speaker 3 (43:42):
And then sort of went the next step of hopefully
tomorrow there will be More.

Speaker 5 (43:49):
Giants fans in the.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Stands AND i thought to, Myself, okay first of, all
both of these.

Speaker 5 (43:57):
Teams are you, know the Die.

Speaker 3 (44:00):
JEWS i, think, hell they might be number, one but
The giants are like number five or.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Six these teams do very well with their home attendance
throughout the. Year and The dodgers are The dodgers because
as a road product with Sho Hey, otani. Etc, right
that's the.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Squad SO i just thought to, myself what are we
actually getting at? Here are we suggesting that local fans
in a city are in control of the. INTERNET i,
LIKE I, ACTUALLY i don't want to SAY i took

(44:41):
a fence.

Speaker 5 (44:43):
AGAIN i had a wonderful.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Weekend i'm not letting any of, this you, KNOW Missi
erouski or whatever the hell his name.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
Is none of this is ruining my.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Day But i'm, like, Really giants, players you're gonna do
the hopefully giants as if they're, LIKE i don't, know
supposed to buy all the tickets or something, LIKE i
didn't even understand.

Speaker 5 (45:05):
What we're getting. At and to, me you tell me
you used to.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Play this is no different than Like Tim couch did this,
once is the quarterback of The browns when he got
mad because the fans were.

Speaker 5 (45:18):
Booing If i'm a.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
Professional, athlete And i'm, not but IF i, WAS i
THINK i would keep the fans' names out my mouth
unless they were doing, something you, know yelling offensive, speech
throwing something on the, field that kind of, stuff then
we can have.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
Chatter but when you're talking about their, dollars.

Speaker 3 (45:46):
Their financial, behavior whether or not they want to come see,
you or what they feel when you, play, ooh keep
those names out your.

Speaker 5 (45:56):
MOUTH i don't think that's a winning. Hand.

Speaker 4 (46:02):
Yeah i've always been in the the mindset of as an,
athlete the fans pay money to come watch.

Speaker 5 (46:14):
The, entertainment and they have the right to within the
guidelines bull cheer sell their ticket whatever that Is i've
never understood why someone will be. UPSET i get, it

(46:39):
like you want home court advantage to be home court,
advantage but if it's, not it doesn't change or your.
Approach it shouldn't change your approach to your job what
you're actually there. For and so complaining about the fans

(46:59):
never for bodes, well never goes never goes, well because
it's you get paid to. Perform they get paid to
cheer or boo or show, up or they are paying
for the experience or, selling you, know their experience to,
others road teams or whatever that, is and it happens

(47:21):
like strong fan bases don't let that happen other.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
Ones did you? Know that's just what it? Was, MAN
i first got To. ATLANTA i mean everybody nobody was From.
Atlanta everybody moved To, atlanta, Right so you know that's
just that's what it.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Was here's HOW i would ask.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
It if you are a fan of a, team and,
actually let me just leave it. There if you are
a fan of a, team what is your responsibility to
that team.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
To be, there to show up and show?

Speaker 3 (47:59):
OUT i would stop even short of, That, like your
responsibility is to not break the law inside the. Stadium your,
responsible you know WHAT i, Mean like whether the team or.
Not that's, yeah that should be your not you.

Speaker 5 (48:17):
Don't you don't have.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Responsibilities your responsibilities not throw a ball on the, field get. Entertained,
yes your responsibility is not to be that dufis In
arizona who's been left out there for five years stealing
home runs from the left.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Fielder, like your responsibility is.

Speaker 5 (48:34):
To not do.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
That don't act like an, idiot don't be, racist don't
yell stuff on the, field don't start a fight in the.

Speaker 5 (48:41):
Stands that's your.

Speaker 3 (48:43):
Responsibility it is not your responsibility to buy a ticket
to be there eighty one consecutive.

Speaker 5 (48:52):
Nights what do you tell you know WHAT i? Mean? Yeah,
Yeah like that's Why i'm, like, guys don't touch. This for,
example let's.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
SAY i, was And i've never been in my, life
but because it's just too, much but let's SAY i
was a season ticket holder for a, team any, team
and within the purchase of those season, tickets and in
this case it would be eighty one, GAMES i can
grab six of those eighty one games and put them

(49:25):
on my computer.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
And pay for the other seventy.

Speaker 5 (49:30):
Five i'm doing that makes.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Sense i'm doing that AND i am not going to
get mad at someone for doing that because they quote let.

Speaker 5 (49:41):
The opposing fans take over the.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
Building SOMETIMES i think that sports fans they there's a
little too much like y'all left, Reality like we're not
going to, war.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
And you don't play on the. Team you're not on the.

Speaker 3 (49:54):
Team you're not like we don't don't you don't need,
right you can paint your, face it doesn't affect the. Outcome,
LIKE i don't, know, Man, Yeah like my timeline right,
now BECAUSE i live, here we cover this team is
filled with people saying that.

Speaker 5 (50:13):
The giants fans should be.

Speaker 3 (50:14):
Embarrassed i'm, like for, what they're not the ones going
one for twenty eight and with runners in scoring. Position
there's nothing embarrassing OF i didn't go to any games this.

Speaker 2 (50:26):
Weekend SHOULD i be embarrassed?

Speaker 3 (50:28):
Embarrassing, no it's too expensive AND i had other crap going, On,
LIKE i don't, know, Man, like the responsibility of a
fan is.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
Nothing you don't have. One you're a. Fan you're a, fan,
Period you, Fan you a? Fan you a?

Speaker 3 (50:48):
FAN i MEAN I i do have one. Responsibility MAYBE
i GUESS i don't. Know if you saw. This it's
making the rounds on social, media probably more here than IN.
La but the media outside the game caught up with
a lady who had a poster board and half of

(51:11):
it had The giant's logo and the other half of
it had The dodger's. Logo she brought a split poster
to the game and then on the other side on
the back of the poster board BECAUSE i think she
figured this is going to have some questions that are

(51:33):
going to get asked, here so she explained on the
back of the poster board she wrote born A giants
fan and then has an orange, heart and then wrote
became A dodgers.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
FAN i love them.

Speaker 3 (51:53):

One of his new, podcasts and the first thing he,
wrote he was tweeting out a link to the, episode
and he, WROTE i loved THE f one, movie so
we had to spend this pod breaking down all of
the best parts THE imax experience And Brad pitt's.

Speaker 5 (54:39):
Career loved.

Speaker 3 (54:42):
IT i, MEAN i GUESS i should ask, you do
you actually think that this will have some sort of
a larger effect on fe one's relationship with a, broader

(55:03):
more mainstream fan.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
BASE i, do like long term in a sustainable. Way, well,
yeah because once you're invested in it and you understand,
it then it's hard not to.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Latch. Onto it's like.

Speaker 4 (55:24):
You, know watching any The, olympics, Right people watch sports
they never dreamt of during The olympics because of the
stories and you know what it, means and you you
literally buy in to The olympic, experience you know WHAT i,

(55:45):
Mean and so it's similar to, that but it's current
and it's happening, now is exciting all of those. Things
so it's It's i'm telling, you, brother watched the first
episode with you And wifey.

Speaker 5 (56:06):
Tonight, No i'm don't you. Worry i'm. All i'm, LIKE i,
Know i'm poking, fun But i'm not like. Out i'm not.

Speaker 4 (56:13):
Out it just it made me a fan OF f
one period right off, that like the movie itself was
amazing and then just to you, know go home and
have something to continue continue that first for this new

(56:37):
thing that you just discovered that people have been watching,
forever and For netflix to be there and able you
able to capitalize on, that it was.

Speaker 5 (56:47):
AMAZING i love. It, no, well we'll check it out
AND i will report. BACK i need you to report.
Right let me know what you're. Thinking, man you. Will
you will already be, many, many many episodes.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
Ahead but BUT i will check it out the same
way that on a daily, BASIS i check out what's
going on with The Cleveland.

Speaker 5 (57:08):
Browns so here's a question for.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
You having been in many IN nfl locker, room you
know how we say things in, Sports, like.

Speaker 5 (57:19):
You, know if you're, hitting is?

Speaker 3 (57:21):
Contagious right if everybody if one guy's, hot everybody gets,
hot one guy gets, cold everybody gets.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Cold is are like off the field problems?

Speaker 5 (57:35):
Contagious? No, okay, no.

Speaker 3 (57:42):
Are we making it up if we say that With
brown's rookie running Back Quinshawn judkins being arrested on exploration
of domestic violence, charges like is there something going on
with The browns.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
Because it feels like there's a lot of Stuff.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
Browns, YEAH i get, yeah that's, ah.

Speaker 4 (58:12):
That's not a contagious. Thing that's a you, know being responsible.
Thing AND i will, say your culture has a lot
to do with, it, Right so if your culture as
a team isn't conducive to you, know you, know snipping

(58:35):
that out or or or turning that off in, someone
if if if they have issues before in the, past,
Whatever if if you don't have a culture set up
in place for players to, understand oh this is a no, go.

Speaker 5 (58:53):
Then it's a. Problem it can be a. Problem AND
i know where my mind.

Speaker 3 (59:01):
Went and this is unfair because we're talking about domestic
violence charges is much more serious than anything that happened
last month With Shadoor.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
Sanders but and for those of you who don't Know Shador.

Speaker 3 (59:13):
Sanders', situation obviously the whole draft thing and being drafted
in the fifth. Round but then they're in that very
first couple of weeks At brown's mini, camp it came
to light that he had twice been pulled over for,
speeding and at least one of them was, like you, know,
speeding speeding like north of one hundred miles an. Hour
AND i remember talking to you about it then and

(59:35):
you were very much, like do not dismiss this as, like,
oh it's just, speeding young guy loves to drive. Fast dumb, Mistake,
okay but, like don't make a big deal out of.
It AND i was with you Where i'm, like, look
first of, all you're one of the biggest names that

(59:56):
came out of the, draft even though you're a fifth.
Rounder second of, all you're trying to in the quarterback,
position and that is a very corporate position within AN nfl.
Franchise and so now you see at least the third
or fourth sort of off the field story just of
this off. Season my mind went back to that BECAUSE

(01:00:19):
i do want to see how The browns are going
to handle, That, like what do you think is gonna
happen at that quarterback?

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
POSITION i, MEAN i really would love to have some
insightful answer to that question BECAUSE i think it needs
one of those. Answers but it ain't no telling what's

(01:00:44):
going to happen over. THERE i don't think it'll Be Joe.
FLACCO i Think Joe, flacco with that current roster and
depth of, quarterback is the veteran guy you know you
can put in if something goes. Wrong BUT i think

(01:01:06):
they're leaning heavily towards one of the young, guys whether
it be.

Speaker 5 (01:01:14):
You, KNOW i don't know how.

Speaker 4 (01:01:15):
Much it's hard to answer this question without preseason, starting,
RIGHT i, Get i'm going completely off OTAs and limited.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
INFORMATION i guess maybe the better way to ask the
question is do you think that the way this all,
started like the.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
Very first Time Shador sanders.

Speaker 3 (01:01:36):
Was asked to show up and be a part of
the football, team he had incidents with the police. Twice
do you think that that's going to affect his standing
on the.

Speaker 5 (01:01:47):
Team, Dish, Yes, YEAH i.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
DO i think it, does BECAUSE i think at the quarterback,
position you want a sense of. Maturity no matter how
young player, is you're not drafted into THE nfl at
the quarterback position to have to grow. Up we've seen
it With Johnny manziel and we've seen it With DeMarcus

(01:02:19):
what was The Raiders Quarterbackmarcus DeMarcus. RUSSELL i mean we've
seen a bunch like you don't get to Say i'm
a rookie and no not when it comes to things
you throw interceptions or trying to get your completion percentage.

Speaker 5 (01:02:37):
Higher oh that's.

Speaker 4 (01:02:37):
One that's a whole different understanding than, argument, right, Right
but you not being able to dry down the street
at the speed? Limit are you're not being able to
keep your hands off somebody at the, Club are you
like that that or whatever it?

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
Is?

Speaker 4 (01:02:50):
WHATEVER i don't know what if that's the, situation but
anything outside of football at the quarterback position is frowned.

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Upon particularly when you're trying to Replace Deshaun. WATSON i
would think.

Speaker 5 (01:03:02):
Or any anybody or could just compete your fourth on
the depth? Chart? Right what are you doing? Right?

Speaker 4 (01:03:07):
EVERYTHING i was fourth on the depth. Chart everything must go.
Right you must do everything. Perfect that's that's what it. Is,
Yeah and by, PERFECT i Mean steve The sega, perfect exactly.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
Perfect, hello, gentlemen and a formal congrats to One Mark.

Speaker 5 (01:03:26):
Willard, oh thank, you thank, you. SIR i appreciate that
mail's news last a. One.

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Yeah, yeah it's ACTUALLY i, Mean I've i've been sitting
on this one AND i, figured, YEAH i might as
well say something before it actually, happens because then it
would get really Of.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
Yeah it'd be, cool like it don't even, matter like
we don't, care you don't care about.

Speaker 6 (01:03:45):
Us he's going to get you a LITTLE f one
car in the.

Speaker 3 (01:03:50):
Mail, yeah wedding. Gift netflix. Subscription. Huh let's Go.

Speaker 9 (01:03:56):
Well there is no easy transition to, This but since
you brought up On, judkins let's talk about The browns
rookie running back From Ohio. State he Spent saturday night
in jail and the update From Pro Football talk AND
Cbs News miami as a judge is set bond at
twenty five hundred bucks on a misdemeanor charge of domestic.
Battery he has been released with the requirement no contact

(01:04:19):
with the alleged, victims no access to. FIREARMS nfl will
consider potential. Discipline the news from The Fort Lauderdale police
sergeant THAT Nfl network interviewed is that battery was determined
to have taken place and officers quote made contact with
the suspect and he was transported To County maine jail this.

(01:04:40):
Weekend when you see the reference To judkins as, oh
he's an unsigned second round, PICK i would add that
almost everybody taken in the second round this year is still, unsigned,
correct because there's been some guaranteed money given out to
a couple guys early second, round and the other thirty
guys taken in round two said hold. Up so when
The chargers rookies reported, YESTERDAY i saw headlines a rookie

(01:05:03):

baseball they are officially now On All Star break because
the late game after the rain delays In Saint louis

first at the break in THE Nl, east half game

(01:08:00):
up on The mets and The. Cubs in THE Nl,
central still a game over The, brewers who won their
seventh in a. Row cubs were winners for to one
over The, yankees and we can update at the break
how The Colorado rockies are doing. Well they lost four
to At cincinnati, today so The rockies have a record
of twenty two and seventy. Four they are more than

(01:08:20):
fifty games under the five hundred mark at The All star.
Break but the great item that Mister Mark willer pointed
out to us very early in the season is how
are they getting? Outscored they only lost by two, today
but you, know when you're about fifty games under five,
hundred the l's pile. Up so just by, comparison in

(01:08:41):
The American, league there's only one team that's been outscored
by over one hundred runs.

Speaker 6 (01:08:45):
So far this. Season that's The. A'S i almost called
Them oakland.

Speaker 9 (01:08:48):
Just, then, sorry just The. A's they're Not, oakland they're Not,
vegas they're not. Anything yet in The National, league The
Colorado rockies have been outscored by over two hundred and
fifty nun. Already in other, words they've roughly scored three
hundred and given up almost six. Hundred it's a difference
of two hundred and fifty three, runs to be, precise

(01:09:13):
and there's still a second half of the season to.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
Go.

Speaker 6 (01:09:15):
Kids back to, YOU.

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
Wofu, yeah that run differential's.

Speaker 2 (01:09:20):
Fun that's just a, big huge.

Speaker 3 (01:09:23):
Number two hundred and fifty, three the only negative run
differential in their entire.

Speaker 5 (01:09:30):
Division two hundred fifty.

Speaker 3 (01:09:34):
Three, steve do you, know off the top of your,
head what is the record for the worst run differential
at the end of a.

Speaker 9 (01:09:41):
SEA i have not seen, that BUT i you, KNOW
i want to just go ahead and make a. Prediction
somebody's going to be looking that.

Speaker 2 (01:09:47):
Up worst run differential AND mlb history.

Speaker 6 (01:09:50):
It's gonna be getting any.

Speaker 3 (01:09:51):
Better, Okay, well this is interesting if we're willing to
go back quite some. Time the night the, eighth teen
ninety Nine Cleveland spiders.

Speaker 9 (01:10:03):
That was, stranchized that lost like twenty six twenty eight
games in a.

Speaker 3 (01:10:06):
Row The Cleveland spiders minus seven hundred twenty. Three, okay
they allowed twelve hundred and fifty two runs during the
year and scored only five to twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:10:20):
Nine, now it does go on to say.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
In the modern, era, well the, eight which is since nineteen,
hundred which was the year after The Cleveland, spiders it
says the uh what, now what did you say the
a's one, was because it says THE ai is giving
me the nineteen thirty Two Boston Red SOXE.

Speaker 9 (01:10:39):
I saw list its just since nineteen fifty oh bassically post,
war The a's of a couple of years ago get
out scored by three thirty nine folks, Season so The
rockies are well on their, way well on.

Speaker 3 (01:10:51):
Pace, yeah and The Red sox of thirty two were
ten runs worse minus three forty, Nine SO i think
The rockies them. TOO i think The spiders are gonna
keep their, record.

Speaker 9 (01:11:04):
And The White sox had the most losses last, YEAR i,
mean like all time the. Mode they got outscored by
about three hundred runs last. YEAR i, repeat The rockies
Have they're well on their way to passing. That and
it's gonna Be rockies Against minnesota next weekend when they
resume the second. Half then they've got to Still, CLEVELAND
i Mean. Toronto they're gonna have to still play real,

(01:11:26):
teams is the bottom line.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
HERE i hope they know how fun it is when they,
lose so they should just lean into.

Speaker 6 (01:11:34):
This see you got SOME t shirts at the end
of the.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Year, Yeah i'm no.

Speaker 3 (01:11:40):
It Actually i've found myself getting annoyed when they. Win i'm,
like that just feels. Unproductive that's.

Speaker 6 (01:11:46):
Right it takes a couple runs back actually on the plus.

Speaker 3 (01:11:49):
Minus, yeah it's like you're not gonna win, Anything so,
like just if you want to be, remembered let's lean into.

Speaker 5 (01:11:55):
This so have some fun, here catch those. Spiders in
a matter of, speaking it.

Speaker 2 (01:12:01):

we're looking to go younger at. Receiver that's that's that's
the same.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):

Washed, no like that that wasn't. Said, no it'll be
just like. It it'll be, okay we're looking to go
younger with our. Receivers hmm.

Speaker 3 (01:14:36):
OKAY i mean the word was that The niners were,
interested but at a much lower number than what he
got from The. RAMS i don't think, like if you
watch him play last, year didn't look old.

Speaker 5 (01:14:49):
Washed, no he didn't actually look like you still? Play,
Right that would have been a good pickup for.

Speaker 3 (01:14:56):
Them you think it would have been, perfect especially with
the you, know the guys who are going to be
out to start the.

Speaker 5 (01:15:07):
Year are you is gonna be?

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):

him hang Around DeVante adams for a little.

Speaker 5 (01:15:33):
While, Right, yeah that would have been.

Speaker 3 (01:15:39):
Amazing and The rams receiving core will be interesting too,
though that's for.

Speaker 5 (01:15:44):
Sure. MHM i guess football is gonna ready to start back. Up.

Speaker 3 (01:15:51):
Huh Eight, sundays, MISTER f?

Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
One Eight sundays.

Speaker 3 (01:15:57):
Away how MANY f one episodes could you watch in
the next let's, see Eight saturdays and sometimes fifty six
fifty six.

Speaker 4 (01:16:09):
DAYS i Mean i've done sixty one in five, days, right,
YEAH i can go back and start at the beginning
OF f one.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
While we're on.

Speaker 3 (01:16:25):
Next netflix series and. Documentaries are you watching the second
season Of?

Speaker 5 (01:16:32):
Quarterbacks not, yet but you're going To oh of.

Speaker 3 (01:16:35):
Course, okay, listen you AND i have talked about this.
BEFORE i think that it should come up again now
that we're actually moving toward training camp and. Whatnot what
is your ex team?

Speaker 5 (01:16:47):
Doing?

Speaker 3 (01:16:49):
WHAT i don't like, THIS i DON'T i don't think,
HONESTLY i don't think when people, go, oh you owe
it to the, player And i'm, like, uh they own the,
Paycheck they own a. PAYCHECK i do think that there
are some circumstances, though and two of them are happening

(01:17:11):
at the same time In. ATLANTA i don't think that
you waste the end of a really good player's.

Speaker 5 (01:17:19):
Career that's one and.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
TWO i don't think that you let a, new, fresh
young kid come in and start playing quarterback and have
somebody looking over his shoulder so that every single camera
cut away every time you throw a bad, pass we're
gonna look right over the. Sidelines you. Know we could
bring In Kirk cousins any minute. NOW i don't think

(01:17:44):
that's healthy For Michael pennix. EITHER i and The falcons
are really screwing this.

Speaker 4 (01:17:49):
Up yeah they, Are BUT i mean they committed so
much money To Kirk. Cousins what are the? Options, well
there's always an. Option WHAT i, mean did you see
what The Milwaukee bucks just.

Speaker 5 (01:18:03):
Did, yeah they're a little bit different in football, though
it's a little bit. Different BUT.

Speaker 3 (01:18:09):
I, mean, LOOK i would argue you can't be surprised
by this scenario when you played it the way that you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:18):
Did if you're The. Falcons, yes sign them to a massive.

Speaker 3 (01:18:22):
Deal then use the seventh pick in the draft or
eighth picking the draft on a, quarterback and then not
run through your head what do we do if we
end up wanting.

Speaker 5 (01:18:32):
To play the.

Speaker 3 (01:18:32):
Kid that's malpractice to not run that scenario through your head.

Speaker 5 (01:18:41):
And have an answer other than, well we'll just ask
them to sit in the corner and. Wait. YEAH i
think they've.

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
Was.

Speaker 5 (01:18:51):
It.

Speaker 4 (01:18:51):
Uh you know it started last year with the you,
know the if they knew they were going to get a,
quarterback then you don't go sign a veteran for that
much guaranteed. Money that's just a no, no because you

(01:19:12):
would have faith in your first round pick a quarterback
at some point during the season right, Now if they
were under the notion that we were going to let
him sit for a couple of, YEARS i don't know
if you you can't take a top five or top

(01:19:32):
ten pick and have him sit like that behind someone
coming off of a major injury like. That it just
didn't line up. Correctly AND i know they wanted to
jump On Kirk cousins because there would have been, Market
there was going to be a market there for. Him
BUT i don't even know if it would have been
at that.

Speaker 5 (01:19:48):
Price coming off of a major. Injury, YEAH i don't
know if it would have. BEEN i think they kind
of jumped a, gun kind of panic a little. BIT i.
AGREE i, mean they.

Speaker 4 (01:19:57):
Found themselves in a situation, where you, know he wasn't
The kirk. Cousins they thought they were, getting you, know
of course Not he'll be better this year because of
the injury and the. Recovery but now they're in a,
pickle a deal.

Speaker 3 (01:20:14):
Pickle, yeah which are, delicious but not maybe necessarily in
uh in this particular. Case, YEAH i think that whole
thing is, ugly all. Right uh more on that coming.
Up we'll circle back around as well On Fox Sports.
Radios Fox Sports Radio. Radio off we go into the

(01:20:37):
night here in The Fox Sports Radio, studios talking it,
out working it, out learning new things about each, other
even though we've been around the block a thousand. TIMES i,
Mean i'm struck bye by, this this this man sitting
in front of me here, tonight who has now Become
america's number one f one.

Speaker 5 (01:20:57):
FAN i get it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:59):
There the movie is, hot, apparently the documentary is.

Speaker 5 (01:21:03):
Good this is WHAT i want to know, Though and you.

Speaker 3 (01:21:05):
Can further help preview for me this series that you're
trying to get me to, watch AND i want to, know,
like to what level is? It just is it interesting
the way that it's. Filmed you talked about the human,
angle what about the? Drama like are we getting into

(01:21:25):
other people's? Lives and you know HOW i mean, That,
like for, instance are you the type that gets interested
When Klay thompson announces On instagram that he is Dating
megan V.

Speaker 5 (01:21:39):
Stallion, okay NOW i want to.

Speaker 2 (01:21:43):
KNOW i want to know what kind of you know
WHAT i, mean is this is the show? Salacious is
it getting up into other people's?

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
Business it's my daughter's in the other room trying to
Watch Love island right.

Speaker 5 (01:21:54):
Now is the? Finality?

Speaker 3 (01:21:57):
Yeah, Yeah LIKE i mean all day like, finale, finale
the couple THAT i wanted is, out And i'm just, like,
oh for for the love of.

Speaker 5 (01:22:05):
It you know we watched we watched that. Too but
if one if Parrel Love island f, one it's. Different
it's it's.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
Adult if one is, adult it's it's dealing WITH i
think the dynamic of the THING i said to you
earlier about the dynamic between teammates is completely different in f.
One Imagine you're driving two hundred miles an. Hour i'ming

(01:22:41):
a car made of a little bit of, metal a
lot of fiberglass and, styrofoam and your teammate in the
very same car you have is ahead of, you and
their screen mean to you and your headset don't race,

(01:23:04):
him meaning don't go, up put pressure on, him try
to pass. Him because if one works on a points,
system top ten drivers get points for your. Team at
the end of the, year they have a team, championship

(01:23:29):
and they have a driver, championship and all of the
teams are trying to win the team. Championship and if
you have an exceptional driver like A Lewis hamilton Or Max,
forstrapping then they you just got to furnish him a

(01:23:50):
good car and they'll do the. Rest but if you
got two ferraris and second and, third those are huge
points for your, team.

Speaker 5 (01:24:04):
And they.

Speaker 4 (01:24:05):
Decide the person in third DECIDES i want to be
in second at two hundred miles an, hour and you
touch wheels and both cars are now out.

Speaker 5 (01:24:20):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:24:23):
And now you have to go back to the garage
and explain like it is un like the term teammate
is not the correct, term and f.

Speaker 3 (01:24:37):
One you've gleaned so, MUCH i actually, like why don't
we go there for a. SECOND i got a question for,
you why is it even structured that? Way because because
you're giving me feelings like and you, know our our
seven Thirty pacific time update is twenty five minutes. Away
Steve Steve desager traditionally throws something in that third hour
update that blows our mind with regard to go and

(01:25:00):
often has things to do with the financial side of.

Speaker 5 (01:25:03):
Golf and it's become a.

Speaker 3 (01:25:05):
Tradition AND i often walk away from those conversations about
live and he'll talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:25:11):
Money and then who, won and then at the end
there'll be something about the.

Speaker 5 (01:25:15):
Team And i'm, like.

Speaker 3 (01:25:18):
If you asked me to make a list of things
in sports about WHICH i do not, care a live
golf as a whole might be on, it but my,
god the team aspect of live golf has got to
be in the top. FIVE i don't even know how it.

(01:25:38):
WORKS i don't know. WHY i don't know anything about
why it would be structured that. Way why are their
teams in auto racing an individual.

Speaker 4 (01:25:52):
Sport because they're twenty, drivers, Right it's not twenty. Teams
how COME i don't know if twenty teams can afford
to Be.

Speaker 3 (01:26:04):
Okay, yeah and that's a fair answer if that's just
basically what we're talking about with sponsors and.

Speaker 5 (01:26:09):
Whatnot oh, yeah it's a very.

Speaker 4 (01:26:11):
Exclusive and you couldn't have more drivers and racers on
the course, anyway that would be, right like way too.
Much when you watch race at the first corner in every,
race you're holding your. Breath you're, Like, okay what you

(01:26:31):
want to do is whin pole, position which is the
night before the, race meaning every car has to go
out and has an opportunity to set their fastest. Lap
that means if you have the fastest lap of the,
evening you have pole, position meaning you're starting in first
and so on first through. Twenty, right if you can
start in, first you can get above the fray and

(01:26:53):
for the most part you're just racing. Yourself you're literally
if you can get out and you're in, first and
you can get out of that first turn, clean you
have a eighty five percent chance of winning the.

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):
Race if, not.

Speaker 4 (01:27:15):
Good luck, brother that, thing it turns into a massacre real.
Quick and so the team dynamic you always have a
number one driver and the number two. Driver for, Years
Lewis hamilton was mercedes number one driver And bartess was

(01:27:39):
their number two.

Speaker 5 (01:27:40):
Driver he hated.

Speaker 4 (01:27:41):
It now they won The Constructor's, cup which is that's
what it's called For mercedes every year And Lewis hamilton
was in first And bartest was in second for. Years
But Terry bartis botas excuse, me but he hated it

(01:28:07):
because he thought he should have.

Speaker 5 (01:28:09):
Been a number one.

Speaker 4 (01:28:09):
Driver they're driving the same, car, sure but he's playing
second fiddle to one of the GREATEST f one.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
Racers, ever how do you deal with? That how do
you just live with that for eight? Years seven?

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
YEARS i would, argue based on what you're telling, ME
i would argue that this exists a lot more often
and in a lot more sports than it sounds like
you're giving it credit.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
For, yeah but it's dangerous in this. ONE i get
That will's touch at two hundred miles an.

Speaker 3 (01:28:44):
HOUR i understand that, part that, part but let's not you,
know like every backup quarterback wants to, play.

Speaker 4 (01:28:53):
Not like, this though you've the backup quarterback at The,
chiefs is not LIKE i should Be Patrick.

Speaker 5 (01:28:59):
Mahomes, no maybe not that the guy Behind Tom brady
is not, like, uh it should be.

Speaker 3 (01:29:07):
Me how did you feel as a seventh round pick
when you came out of training camp your rookie.

Speaker 4 (01:29:12):
YEAR i felt LIKE i wanted to try to make the.
Team Bob whitfield was three million times better than. Me Cory,
lucci who was a starting right, tackle was better than.
Me it just so happens that the situation presented itself
WHERE i could have a real live competition With Corey

(01:29:32):
luci AFTER i was moved from fourth string left tackle
to second string right, tackle and they bet on youth,
yep which you see a lot in this. Too the
difference is the team. Mates i'm with, you they hate each.

Speaker 5 (01:29:55):
Other, yeah, NO i get that it is.

Speaker 3 (01:29:57):
CRAZY i get that this is volume turned all the way,
up and it's definitely more intense than these other. Scenarios but,
Goodness but BUT i, mean all around, sports you constantly
run into scenarios where there are competing interests within within teams.

Speaker 5 (01:30:19):
All the, time all the.

Speaker 3 (01:30:21):
Time AND i know people have learned how to say
the right thing and often do the right, thing but you,
KNOW i.

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
Mean you're a.

Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
Hooper look around THE nba and think of even even
just the pecking order of AN nba. FRANCHISE i, mean
to a, degree this is what we were talking about
two hours ago About, lebron isn't. It he wants to
be on a team that is structured a certain, way

(01:30:50):
and it's no longer structured that, way and so now
he kind of doesn't want to be on that team.

Speaker 5 (01:30:55):
Anymore so is he rooting for his. Teammates i'm not
saying this is a look at.

Speaker 4 (01:31:00):
Calm this is how serious this. Is, okay my wife
just texts, Me i'm gonna need you to say these.

Speaker 5 (01:31:07):
Names.

Speaker 4 (01:31:07):
Right it's verse stapping And. Botas come, on, MAN i know.

Speaker 3 (01:31:12):
BOTAS i was, like that's what the people shoot into their, face, right.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
This is this is my. Wife, okay you're making us
look bad in THESE f one. Streets this is my, wife,
Right but that's tell, them tell. Him but that's how serious.
This we had never watched AN f one. Anything my
wife was actually on tour In monaco DURING f one

(01:31:37):
when she was, dancing and oh.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
So she got more race and experience than.

Speaker 5 (01:31:42):
You and she could care.

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
Less and now she's, like oh my, GOD i hate
THAT i missed, This LIKE i.

Speaker 5 (01:31:50):
Hate she was, LIKE i didn't.

Speaker 4 (01:31:51):
Care i'm twenty two years, old twenty one years old
At Casino royale and doing the yachts IN f one
and all of, that and she was just, like they're
in the street doing this thing with these. Cars so
now watching it, back every time The Monoco race comes,

(01:32:11):
on she's, like oh my, GOD.

Speaker 5 (01:32:12):
I Was oh just HOW i was. THERE i was.

Speaker 4 (01:32:14):
THERE i was, there AND i couldn't care less about
what was going. On fast forward twenty years, later she's,
like can we go To monico?

Speaker 3 (01:32:26):
TO i, mean this is probably every teenager or twenty
something In, america you, know like mom and dad probably
took you on a trip and who, knows you might've
been to the top of The Eiffel tower and you're
looking at your parents going can we?

Speaker 5 (01:32:40):
Go i'm? Bored, like, right that's a pretty familiar story
that she's telling.

Speaker 4 (01:32:45):
Me it, is but it's one when you, know you,
know like once you understand and and you're looking at
this series and you see how intense it. Is And
i've never been a part of sports or HEARD i
get you don't like your teammate or you feel like
you should. Brother when you watch this you're gonna be, like, oh.

Speaker 5 (01:33:05):
This is this is a. Problem this is a problem
Problem i'm talking.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
About, well somebody could make make an emotional decision and
somebody could get you see it all the.

Speaker 5 (01:33:17):
Time, yeah somebody could get.

Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
Killed we've seen two drivers just run into each other on,
purpose on purpose at two hundred miles an, hour or
one driver whose car is slowing down the other. One
these are on the same, team this is not separate.
Teams and one one way he just slams on the brakes.

Speaker 5 (01:33:37):
As the team may smash it to the back of.

Speaker 4 (01:33:40):
Them nobody gets points and so the team, principal which
is the coach or the. Manager now you have to
these guys are making tens of millions of. Dollars they're
making tens of millions of. DOLLARS i think like last
Year Lewis hamilton made eighty six minsllion dollars less.

Speaker 5 (01:34:01):
Year, right this is this is the level we're talking
on Now i'm looking that.

Speaker 4 (01:34:08):
Up Max forstappan is making fifty five million dollars a.
Year so this is the level we're talking. About AND
i didn't know anything about. SALARIES i didn't know anything
about any of. This these cars are millions and millions of.
Dollars so when you touch wheels with your teammate and

(01:34:29):
you wreck both, cars teams only have a certain allotment
of parts that they can use a. Season if you
run out of, that you're penalized by grid, position which
is starting. Position and so when teams crash into each

(01:34:53):
other and both cars are damage and both cars don't get,
points that has long lasting ramifications on the. Season but,
egos it's so hard for them to check their own.
Egos botas was the second best driver In Formula one

(01:35:16):
for about seven years. Straight in his mind he was the.
First remember have you ever Seen Talladega?

Speaker 5 (01:35:24):
Knights? Yeah. Absolutely remember When.

Speaker 4 (01:35:27):
John C riley's character Told Will, Farrell, hey maybe one
DAY i can win the race and he was, like,
What but then that would mean that what place WOULD
i come?

Speaker 3 (01:35:41):
In?

Speaker 5 (01:35:41):
Right that MEANS i got about your?

Speaker 4 (01:35:42):
Way and he was, like, oh you're, right never, mind
never mind, Right like it's. Something it's to that level
on a thousand because you're watching it. Happen you can
hear them on the. Radio they have differ different pit,
crews so they have different car technicians talking to them

(01:36:08):
doing the race and when you tell, one, hey you
have to move over and let your teammate go through
to win this, race you hear what, no and then
you hear the cuss words and that's bull and no
and this and. That but ultimately that driver you're moving

(01:36:31):
over for is ahead and the points race for, drivers
so they need a first place. Finish so you gotta
just swallow, that take it on the chin and get
out of the. Way and a lot of times they're, like, no,
No i'm not doing this. Car so just imagine that

(01:36:52):
level of drama consistently every race everywhere it's, like oh my, god.

Speaker 5 (01:36:58):
You're you're not on your.

Speaker 3 (01:37:00):
Estimate by the, way From may last year To may this,
Year Lewis hamilton made eighty million sixty is earned.

Speaker 5 (01:37:06):
On the track in twenty. Off, yeah there you.

Speaker 2 (01:37:09):
Go but he's at a sixty million dollar. Base guarantee your.

Speaker 4 (01:37:12):
Base i'm walking away with sixty no matter IF i
get in the car or. Not, yeah, yeah that's how this.
Is how big this. Is, yeah that's one. Driver that's one.
Driver that's one.

Speaker 5 (01:37:23):
Driver all, right we got a lot more to get to.

Speaker 3 (01:37:27):
Here throughout the rest of the, Hour there's no doubt

Speaker 4 (01:38:34):
Lot, yeah my circles understand the. Game they're they're. Educated that's,

maybe this.

Speaker 2 (01:38:52):
Is also me showing just like the starting points of.

Speaker 3 (01:38:58):
AGE i don't, know, man there's certain things THAT i
just look at now And i'm, like.

Speaker 5 (01:39:06):
Ah i'm.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
Sorry is this supposed to register with?

Speaker 3 (01:39:10):
Me Summer LEAGUE i think sounds like a blast to go.
TO i think a lot of stuff happens at summer.
LEAGUE i think with the number of questions that are
still out there in THE, nba, Boy i'm hoping that
all you execs getting together and you, know playing some craps.

(01:39:31):
TOGETHER i hope you get some stuff. DONE i, mean
we talked About. Lebron this is supposed to be the
summer At. Yannis haven't heard a damn. Things still don't
know Where Dame lillard is going to. Play every restricted
free agent hasn't moved a. Muscle they're all still sitting.
There no, trade no, signature no. Nothing SO i think

(01:39:53):
a lot is going to. HAPPEN i would. Hope but,
man as far as these, games, dude what's? Different what's
different between this and and and THE nfl Preseason in
the late third quarter of THE nfl preseason?

Speaker 4 (01:40:10):
Games nothing so, nothing you, Know i'll Get the difference
is most of the. GUYS i would say it like
this and people will be able to understand. This two
guys on Each summer league team will make the active

(01:40:31):
roster in THE.

Speaker 5 (01:40:32):
Nba, yep.

Speaker 4 (01:40:33):
Yep they are fifteen guys out. There two of those
guys will be on.

Speaker 5 (01:40:36):
The, roster and how many of them will get minutes
one maybe and the other one to be in THE G?

Speaker 4 (01:40:41):
League, yeah maybe that's What that's what summer league, is,
Right so you, know it's A g league tryout and
a chance to get your drafted player some competition in
the summer league in the summer before you continue to.

(01:41:05):
Train and where Like Cooper flag's already.

Speaker 5 (01:41:06):
Done right he played one. GAME i DON'T i.

Speaker 4 (01:41:11):
Think, NAH i don't like that aspect of, it because
your preseason or your training camp doesn't start Until september,
anyway so you had months before you even you, know
the season is the end Of. October so let them.
PLAY i, mean it's regulated pick up. Basketball the investment

(01:41:34):
is too, great AND i get. IT i understand. That
the last thing you want to but the problem is
they're going to be out there playing. Anyway i'd rather
you do it in this setting than doing it at,
HOME i mean that, gym or Like i'd.

Speaker 5 (01:41:48):
Rather you do it. Here, yeah it's.

Speaker 3 (01:41:50):
FAIR i mean you AND i have talked about this
off and on the last last few, weeks and obviously
all those injuries that took, place major, injuries it took
place in THE nba, Playoffs AND i know everybody's got
a different sort of an idea about what it's all.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
About, oh it's the, shoes and it's just that the
OTHER i JUST.

Speaker 3 (01:42:10):
I don't think that these players let their bodies rest
anymore and go play a different. Sport and so even
just the mere idea of summer league is kind of.
Interesting if you, know you don't have the physicality to
play all the games that are on your schedule In,
january you, know but then everybody wants you to push

(01:42:32):
a little bit harder in summer. League the investment is too.
Great On Cooper, flag they got everything they, needed go out,
there score thirty, one get everybody juiced up a little.

Speaker 5 (01:42:41):
Bit, well, yeah the first game he played he was
five to twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:42:44):
One, NO i know he wasn't, great but guess everybody
up and then bubble wrap.

Speaker 4 (01:42:50):
Him, well we can gas this guy, out but there's no,
Way he's gonna let us bubble wrap. Him and that's
One steven bubble rep free To sega.

Speaker 5 (01:42:58):
Works too, hard too, hard too.

Speaker 6 (01:43:00):
