Let's give this pot. You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Whatever you want to talk about Wednesday, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
That is eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We'll
get to the Knicks. Joel Embiid is out for Game two.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The Lakers lebron gave a strong effort last night and
they still lost by eighteen to Oklahoma City. We'll get
to that in just a second as well. But, uh,
there's a big soccer match. I know this because I
heard it on my way in and bordout. Ricardo has
his soccer jersey on. There's aggregate. One of the teams
(00:58):
is leading five to four headed into the game. We're
stealing ideas from soccer and we're implementing them into US sports.
What is the big soccer match today, Taylor?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It's a Champions League semifinal Paris Saint Jerma and Bayern Munich.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ah PSG nailed that.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What is going on with Chris Simms? Who is in London?
He is traveling, he's on vacation. Sims at this soccer game?
Is that where he's at?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Sims was at the Arsenal the other semifinal match yesterday
Arsenal at Lettico Madrid, and Sims was in some kind
of suite at Arsenal at the Emirates and he was
in a full suit at this suite, Like, sim stop
taking yourself so serious and drop the suit.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Look, budd, wait, you were just at his house. You're
friends with the family. Now Phil loves you, and now
you're taking shots at Chris.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's a dangerous game, man, be careful. He where's a suit? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But Si, me and Sims have like this older brother
younger brother relationship where he wants absolutely nothing to do
with me as the older brother, and sometimes I gotta
give him the banter. Like sometimes during football night in America,
he would wear like a mister Roger sweatshirt. I'm like, Simms, man,
you're pretty cool, but that sweatshirt is doing you no favors.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I don't care that he's on vacation. Get him on
the show. Okay, just see if he wants to join us. Well,
I don't care if he cares. Just ask him if
he could join us and talk some soccer.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Also, this sweet he was in, Yes, was a Who's Who? Yes,
Bendict Cumberbach.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Wait, hold on, this is why I want to talk
to him. Is he will now understand why I don't care.
It is that he's on vacation. Give us the rest
of the names in that suite.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It was Benedict Cumberbatch, right, and Sean McVey Jawge's dropsy.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
I mean Benedict Cumberbatch. Little surprised that one was.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't know if it's a Who's Who, it's a
it's a who oh at McVeigh right, right, that's how
Simms rolls, and he rolls wearing a suit. Listen, when
you're going to an event in which you're gonna see
very little scoring, you got to dress.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Up for it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's a roll the wood by Taylor.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I believe he was in an owner's box too, and
that's why he was wearing the suit.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Wait a second, so you're going on this. So you're
going to an old like Chicago Bears New England Patriots game,
and like the mid nineteen eighties, everybody's dressed in the
suit and tie. You're expecting low scoring.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, dick a sweater with a shirt at its high underneath.
I mean imagine if Hallis was coaching that team. I mean,
I mean, he'd be dressed with a ninth A parent.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yes, Mikey Jack tel Rio wanted to wear a suit
on every game, probably because he knew he wasn't going
to score the Jaguars.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Is that why pat Riley dressed so well, because it
was all low scoring in his mind? Yes, yes, that
all makes sense.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Dress for success, I mean low scoring success you have,
but defense will success for Riley back then? Right?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Yeah, I mean I guess that the game has changed.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Let's play this. Uh we had Weekeken observations. We did
it on the podcast on Monday. I'm not getting enough
credit around here. No one is locked into these NBA
playoffs more than me, nobody. I Sixers down three to
one to the Celtics. Is he is so mad at me?
Speaker 6 (04:19):
He's supposed to give you the credit? I mean names
on the show you get all the credit.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, listen, you know Taylor likes to send out
clips of Taylor again.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Yes, you go, that's your fault. You gave him control
of your socials.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well on PSG scored early yep, wow two minutes into
this game, so it's six four or five five six
four on aggregate?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Wow? You like how I knew that? Huh? Yeah? I
mean just goal.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So, like I was saying, I'm not getting enough credit
around here, one goal because no one is glued and
locked into these NBA playoffs, like I am not. Is
he not Steven A Smith, not Frank I Sola, nobody,
Sixers down three to one to the Celtics. No one
gave him a shot. I said the Sixers would win
(05:01):
that series. And b comes back and he's healthy and
he's playing great. And then on Monday we did the
wee Can Observations and I said this about Joel.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Embiid, Joel Embiid get some new material? Is he? You
know what the E and embiid stands for.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, it stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt by
Game three. Anyway, locked it, I'm locked in.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Did you record that off of a radio inside of
a car and then replay it for us. What was
that sound from a flip phone?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yes, I was underwater.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I don't know how that sounds sent I'm playing it
on my phone right now, and it sounds completely normal.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
That's exactly what I remember talk radio sounding like in
nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yes, is that iowa Sam being the d boy yet again?
I mean defense against our offense?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
So yeah, quality sounded like he was fifteen years old.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Sounds good on Taylor's phone, though, I mean yes? So
should I play it for my phone? Yeah? Yes, do it?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Do it from your phone on the trail sounds great, Busy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You know what the E and embeid stands for.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt by game three?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Anyway? Nailed it now, but still good. I was Sam.
Let's hear yours again, please, if you don't mind, just
one more time? New material? Izzy, you know what the
E and embiid stands for. It stands for everyone knows
you'll be hurt by game three? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Is he on a car phone?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm like three car phones and I'm submarine.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Let's go to Izzy from a my goodness, and here
comes Red Grange down the sideline.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That guy wears a suit. I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
That's like when you send somebody a picture and in
your phone it's glorious, and on their phone it's like
this little one centimeter by one centimeter blurry box. It's like, oh, man,
something's wrong with your phone.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I think that's an iPhone to a non iPhone transaction.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Do we know the problem?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So Izzy, the Knicks have Game two tonight at Madison
Square Garden. I love Game twos because you're going to
see the teams that are desperate. Tonight, Philadelphia, still without EMBIID,
is going to be a very desperate team. I imagine
that game is going to be a lot closer than
Game one was. And then you have San Antonio later on,
also a desperate team because they need to get a
(07:33):
victory here.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
They don't want to go down too.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're finally talking NBA.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Playoffs for you cracking up because you say I love
Game twos, and I was like, this is something I
didn't know about. I love a game, so I wanted
to go grab a pen right about that down, which
is another STU Gods move, and I don't have a
pen and Both of those things just.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Made me laugh to I have your pen it's right here.
But I do love Game twos. Dealers, Well, we tend
to get carried a way in these series. We discussed
this a little bit yesterday, where the Knicks win big
in Game one and we think, all right, Like I
told Taylor today, I'm terrified of the Pistons and I
shouldn't be thinking about the Eastern Conference finals because we're
(08:13):
not done with Philadelphia yet. And so you have these
teams who are desperate. They don't want to go down
oh two, especially the Spurs. That's going to be interesting
because you can't go down two headed back to Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But this is going to be interesting tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I do think the Sixers will keep it very close
and hopefully the next will win.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I'm with Izzy here though, on you saying you love
Game two. It's not game to love rank games one
through seven right now?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Okay, Game two best two words in sports.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Come on, seven's gotta be won.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
We'll go seven as number one.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So Game seven, l that's the Andy Petnit game. Game two, yes, yeah,
thank you, it's a big game. Game two is an
underrated game, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
But how under it in terms of importance. Well, the series,
both series could be over tonight. I mean technically if
the win it hasn't started, No, and Minnesota already started.
They want to round talking through these looks, y, you
got so Game seven is number one on my list. Okay,
that's how I do it. I just keep talking, so
hopefully someone forgets, mikey. Game seven is number one on
(09:14):
my list.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay. Game two is number two.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Yeah, bigger than Game six.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Much bigger than Game six. All right, Game two sets
the tone for the rest of the series. Okay, it's
a tone center. So Game two is my second favorite.
And then I love and man do I love a
big Game four?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Wow, i'd Game five there really really?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Game four is not really that? Game five classically pivotal.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Plasically pivotal. Y, some would say it's not so.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Game four was three, Game four is three, Game five
is four, Game six is five.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
How many games left do I have?
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You've got one in three?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So game one is the least important, least game is
the second least important.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yes, so we go seven, two, four, five, six three one?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now then so game one is the least important.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
But there's something that happens from game one to game two,
where the series can be designed.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh, the whole series could be shifted tonight, I'm telling you.
But it also might not start. It might be over.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I mean, listen, tell me right now. If the Timberwolves
win tonight, that series isn't over. It's over, right, yeah,
and it will have started twice, all right?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Correct? Now you're getting it. Yes, you might not be
able to read.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Anything today because I'm crying with left.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Now. If the Knicks win Game two, this series isn't over.
It just hasn't started yet, right, right, But it's close
to being over. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
I think so, I hope, so, I hope everybody gets it.
I just know I didn't realize that Game two was
the second most beloved phrase in sports. Yes, it is
funny with Joel Embid. I was actually thinking about this
before I heard him. Man, that was before I heard
that he was out. I think they'd be better off
without him in a in a not for the series, right,
(11:12):
but in a let's just play free game two right where? Okay, yeah,
we need to steal one eventually from New York. But
maybe this isn't the one Joel's not and their defense
just becomes better because they don't have Joel in a
sort of lazy drop coverage seventy five percent of the time.
And you know, if you tell vj Edgecomb, hey, you
(11:34):
got more responsibility. Now we've seen that he can turn
that into a forty burger. And so I think you
know not to say again, not for the series, but
for this game too, they might have been a slightly better.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Off without Joe game too. Is he this?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
This game too feels like it's it's two sides of
a coin, where one side is mbiads sitting tonight feels
like a punk game. Two, let him bead rest as
much as possible, get him back in Philadelphia. Series still
hasn't started. The other side of that coin, The TM
Tyrese Maxie stands for a trap game, fifty point game coming.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
He did gets to the Celtics, right, That was without embiid
and that was in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, this is what I worry about. I mean, I
would rather Embid play at this point. I'm so tired
of that guy with the tickets and don't let Nick
fans buy the tickets at Philadelphia and then you're not
playing by game two. I mean just enough out of
hit a big game two. Who misses a big game two?
I mean nobody.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I mean it was happening a game, you know how
big it is.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, it was strange how defiant Joe Embiid was with
like the ticket thing in Philadelphia where he was like,
if you need money, I got you. But we really
haven't gotten any follow ups since then. Like if a
Philadelphia fan had an offer for five hundred dollars to
sell their tickets to a Knicks fan and they chose
not to because Joe Embiid said, I'll just give you
the money instead. Ye, Joel Embiid kind of feels like
(12:53):
he's he's liable for that five hundred dollars. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Well, I don't know if he feels like that, but
perhaps an attorney will feel like that.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Carl Douglas, there's just no way the message will get
to him. That's how he'll be free of this. Oh nobody.
It never actually reached me. It reached my agent, but
it didn't reach me.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Right, If you sell your tickets, Philly, I don't blame you.
Were expect you bought him, expecting to see Joel Embiid
and of course he's not going to show up because
he never shows up.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
But also, if I was Joel Embid in that moment,
I'd be feeling pretty good about myself, Like I just
beat the Celtics team that was supposed to, by most
people's measure, make it to the finals. And now we've
got this NIXT team that's, yeah, feeling itself because it
beat the Hawks. But I think i'd be talking my
stuff too if I was Joel it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Was their super Bowl. You're right, I mean, I can't
disagree with you on that. I am terrified of Oklahoma City.
And this is what happens, Okay, when you blow out,
you have a big blowout in Game one, you start
thinking about the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, and
then you start thinking about, Hey, what am I doing
all this for?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Why am I staying up so late? Why am I
getting so emotional?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Because Lebron James gave you the game that he wanted, Okay,
that you wanted if you're a Laker fan, A great
game last night by Lebron, still lost by eighteen, and
Shae didn't play that well. And so I'm terrified of
Oklahoma City because now I'm thinking about the NBA Finals.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Well, I mean, this is what it's disappointing, right, It's
disappointing that Luca can't play because this would have been
so much better. I know, it would have been so
great to see Luca ahead of the Snake versus SGA,
like bang bang one versus the other, which one's going
to dominate or which one's gonna come out on top?
And you know, based on that first game, it looked like, yeah,
if Luca was there, the Lakers actually have a chance here.
(14:25):
And again, you know the old David Stern line, I
want to see the Lakers versus the Lakers in the
finals every years. That's what's best for the NBA. Like
that would have been amazing, but instead it's more than
likely going to be Okay. See, I don't know if
you saw this, but Luca talked about his injury and
one of the things he said is that when he
first got checked out, the doctor said, yeah, eight weeks,
and so this would be five weeks, and so it's
(14:47):
not looking good. Like if he plays late in this series,
it's going to be probably you know, with a shot
in his hammy and not feeling much of anything and
really won't be able to play for much longer.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Stull, You're seeing the problem with this Thunder team in
terms of going forward in the NBA, where they've collected
so many assets that when they're in their championship window
very clearly right now, they could very easily flip a
first round pick for somebody who who is a surplus
on another team and becomes a luxury for them. Like
(15:19):
they got Jared McCain to be, what is he their
tenth eleventh guy on their bench, and Jared McCain can
come in and score double digit points on almost any
given night when when he was on the sixers before
he got that injury, Jared McCain looked like he could
have been the Rookie of the year.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
They have so many quality players that they can adjust
the rotation on any given night and it won't lose
much of anything, Like the guys will step in and
do whatever's needed of them. But to your point, it
does sort of make me feel like there's something that
can happen this postseason that can quote unquote like I'm
being hyperbolic here, but save the NBA at least as
(15:56):
far as not being back to back years for okay,
and maybe not being Wemby's, you know, start of the
dominance that people are going to get bored with. There's
a little something that I think can happen this year
that might change all that, but I don't want to
talk about that yet. We got to go to break.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Really, that's what we call teas in the business. It's
a great teas. Unfortunately, we have a graduation speech for
playing next.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh really yeah, Well, sometime in the show you'll get
my answer.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Okay, it's the rare teas in the first segment for
the last segment of the first hour.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
How about that? All right? You give it that, Chess Chess.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Against Truce on the right wing, pay to the basket,
jumps it off for JD another jam Yes, baby, Hey,
that combination has been so good for so long for
the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Jav bickerstaf says, don't shoot it. I would have.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
And eighteen to eight clothes for the Pistons. After the
Cleveland Cavaliers had tied the score at ninety three, with
five and twenty eight to go in the game.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
I would argue to play the day was the star
Thompson's chase down block. But who am I to argue
with Ti Rag And now.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
They have, of course, a pivotal game two coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Yute.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I mean, you can't lose that one if you're you're
the Cavs. James Harden please.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
He's so bad. How many turnovers for Harden last night? Eight?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
I think it was eight. He's terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I marvel before we get to Dan Bayer in a
graduation speech that I did.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I marvel we have guest bookers.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Here, and I always marvel at who Taylor is going
to say yes to and who he's going to say
no to. Because I really left it up to Taylor
at this point. Bob Chesney is going to join us
at four point thirty today, the UCLA head coach. And
the timing is good football, yes, because of the expanded
Well we all know mc cronin as a basketball coach.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Well, I was just thinking of any sports it's in season.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yes, Well, the timing's good because of the expanded college
football playoff that's being proposed. But I am wondering why
you were so quick to respond yes to Bob Chesney.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
So in sports, sometimes a line in the sand is
drawn and you have to pick a side. We clearly
have to pick a side in the battle for La
UCLA versus USC and this show. I will not allow
this show to be a pro Lincoln Riley show. That
fraud over there in Lincoln Riley. The twenty four team
(18:53):
playoff was made for Lincoln Riley, Yes it was.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
He's the one pushing for it because he's never in it.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
So I did not know I would have to be
picking a side in this line in the sand today,
But I guess it's chosen for me, right, Yeah, well
Taylor chosen Yep.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
We're all brilliants. Okay, okay, yeah, thank you okay with that.
I mean, I don't know. I like the Trojans.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
I mean I kind of like you.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I see. Maybe I don't love Lincoln Riley, but I
like you. We'll give Chesney a chance to win us over.
How about that? I'm open for that.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Yes, by the ways, do the answer is seven?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
To what turnover?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
He was going to ask he stakes.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yesterday we had Christopher mad Dog Russo. We talked about graduation.
I'm going up to graduation. Man, it goes quick. I
am going up to a graduation this weekend for one
of my daughters at Syracuse University, the ques Yeap. Looking
forward to that.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Orange uh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And we talked about commencement speeches and the fact that
Dog has never given one. I would pay to see
Dog give one. I've never given one one, which is
not the truth, because I realized that I did after
we spoke with with Christopher mad Doug Russo. So, I
am going to play a commencement speech that I did
for the Stugat School of frodcasting many years ago, since
(20:13):
it's graduation season. But I was thinking, is he about
a top five lest yesterday?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Last night? Today?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Top five people in sports whose parents if they were
huge fans of all things graduations, what their names would be.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
In love pomp and circumstance.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It's just a bridge into the speech, that's all it is. Okay,
a speech that you did years ago, I did a
few years ago. But it's a laugh out loud funny.
I think the audience will enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
No, I remember it. I just thought you're doing a
new one.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I have an oli. I'm not doing a new one.
No OA.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Ever again, that's a bridge too, fun Iowa.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Sam just asked if I wanted pomp and circumstance, and
yes I did, all right, ol I. Caleb gowns you
number five Brian scale of Victorian.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Scale. Number four Matt Tasselback, that's.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
A good one.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
To number three Javail degree, that's a great, fantastic number
two John A.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Speechee speech.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
That was definitely a job of metia, a bit, a
bit of a reach, but still hilarious at the same.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Time, speechy speech and number one grad mccakey.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Graand Penny oh grad, Penny damn it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So with that said, years ago, me and Dance stands
It collaborated and then years later we put collaborate on
a book.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
He thought I would write more of it because I
wrote this speech. I didn't. I handed it over to Dan.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Let's play my graduation speech for the class of I
think twenty eighteen, perhaps from the Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
School of Broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Listen up, students, faculty, parents, grandparents, and sponsors, especially the sponsors. Tiza,
the official watch of the NBA, that beautiful Spalding game Day, Leather,
and ZIP recruiter the smartest way to hire graduates. Zip
(22:50):
Recruiter will hire the producers, guest bookers, and researchers.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
That will make your jobs even easier.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Day which will live in infamy for graduates of Syracuse
and Northwestern Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
What you have here. That's what you've heard here.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
If we debated them ten times, they might win nine,
but not anymore. Today we interrupt that. Today, we clash
with that, and we shut them down because we can.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Today. You are the.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Greatest broadcasters in the world. You were born to be broadcasters, every.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
One of you. This is your time. Their time is done.
It's over.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I'm sick and tired of hearing about what great broadcast
schools the ivys have screw up.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
This is your time.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Dream.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Many years ago, I had a dreamed that my two teenage.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Children will one day live in.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
A nation where they will not be judged by the
color of their skin, but by the content of the
paycheck their father's character receives. I knew it wouldn't be
easy to transform sports media, but take it from me,
you miss one hundred percent of the takes. You don't
steal from Greenie, Cowhard and Pablo. I mean, I've missed
(24:28):
more than nine thousand pronunciations in my career. I've lost
almost three hundred debates twenty six times. I've been trusted
to make the segment ending joke and misheard what was said.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
In my year.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I have failed over and over and over again in
my life, and that is why I succeed. Always remember
what you learned on your first day here, Speak loudly,
and carry a big stick.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Go farm.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
To my many detractors, I ask, do you want the truth?
Because most traditional reporters can't handle the truth. We live
in a world that has paywalls, and those paywalls have
to be guarded by men with journalism degrees.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Who's gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You, Lieutenant Oban, I have a greater responsibility than you
could possibly fabil. You week for newspapers, and you curse
the blogs and podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You have that luxury, You have the luxury of not.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Knowing what I know that the death of newspapers, while tragic,
probably created better content, and my existence, while grotesque and
incomprehensible to you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Creates better content.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
How is this that you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Want the truth?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Because deep down in places you don't talk about in
press boxes, you want me on that radio.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You need me on that radio.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You use things like stat sources and postgame quotes. You
use those things as the backbone of a life spent
defending something. I use them as a punchline.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I have neither the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Time nor the inclination to explain myself to everyone who
rides in sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom
that I provide, and then questions the matter in which
I provide it. I'd rather they just say thank you
and went.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
On their way.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Otherwise, I suggest they borrow someone else's takes and mail
it a podcast. Either way, I don't give a damn
what they think they are entitled to. My fellow broadcasters,
ask not what your alma mater could do for you.
Ask what you could do for your alma mater, And
(26:48):
what you could do is send yearly donations. Better make
it monthly donations. If you want to make them weekly,
that's fine. Just make them out to my name. Keep
the cast flow coming. The buck stops here at my
desk and speaking up. The bucks must win game game
five tonight, and so you don't have to pronounce his name,
(27:10):
as I taught you, remember, just call him the Greek Free.
In less than an hour you will join others from
around the world, and you will be launching the largest
vocal battle on traditional journalism in the history of mankind journalism.
That word should have new meaning for all of us today.
(27:32):
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
We will be united in our common interest.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Perhaps it's faith that today is graduation day and you
will be.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Set out into the world.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So fight people with frame diplomas at stack resumes. We
will be fighting for our right to not work hard,
to have no credibility, and still be able to land
at the same network as Bob Lee. And should we
win the day, graduation day will no longer be known
(28:11):
as the day of accomplishment, but as a day other
parents realize they have wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and a day that we the underachievers, declared in one voice,
we will not watch the game at night. We may
or may not watch the Big Pips. We're going to
(28:33):
live on without facts. We're going to survive without reading.
Today we celebrate your graduation day.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
Somewhere like it's a little bit commencement speeds, a little bit,
acceptance speeds a little bit.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Closing argument, a bent defiance, very self serving.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
You really went, Caleb gowns, Ever, Karl Anthony gowns.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You're stuck on that?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Really, there was so much to break down in that
in that commencement speech.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, I was ahead of my time. Listen man foreshadowing,
how about that?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
My favorite was the appearance we got from Martin Luther
ding Dong Junior.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
STU, could I jump in and offer some observations on this?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh? Please do?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
I felt I felt a little Teddy Roosevelt in there.
I felt a little few good men, and I felt
a lot of definitely.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
At the end of Thomas J.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Whittmore, President of the United States, played by Bill Pullman
in Independence day.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I have no idea what you're speaking. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I just did you get any of that? I don't see.
I didn't I didn't see to get anything. Were listening
while we were listening to the speech.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Are you claiming that I plagiarize my speech? Is that
what you're No?
Speaker 7 (29:52):
I think you're just borrowing some spices, maybe from several
popular speeches from movies that ture.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
We need him on this radio, We want him on
this radio.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
True, there's no way it was characterized. Half of it
was about him. You notice that, Dad.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Also, the act of stealing takes is encouraged.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Always, yes, I mean as a fellow graduate. Yes, Steel,
mind Steel, Taylor's.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Graduated on the top of my class. You're my prize students.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
He also could have gone Matt Tassel instead of Tassel
back because Tassel would have worked as well with Castle.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Hey, how about you make a list.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
A couple of big game tuesdanight.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Bigger than I thought.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yes, they're all big Well, Game two is the second
biggest of the set of it, game seven, of course,
being the biggest there barely right, Listen, you know what
you're guaranteed in a series of Game two? You know
what you're not guaranteed.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Is a game set? Absolutely true?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, so is he thinks that Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves,
I guess have a chance here to help the NBA
tremendously because no one wants to see Oklahoma City dominate
the sport the way they've been dominating the sport. And
my fear is, I'm telling you right now, Oklahoma City
is not going to lose if they lose until like
game three, which is the least of the important of
(31:31):
the games, Game three of the Western Conference Finals. Like
I'm this team is so ridiculously stacked and good that
my fear is we're all getting emotional and all getting
wound up for absolutely nothing because they're gonna walk away
with it.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Yeah. And that's one of the reasons, right okase being
not you know, the world's favorite champion, and as far
as the league is concerned, if there is a champion
that isn't either you know, beloved or causing controversy series.
You know, they could use a better one, But I
think with Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, they've sort of
(32:08):
felt like the last few years, not really an afterthought,
but kind of like a side show, right, Like, yeah,
there's no way they can make it all the way,
but dang it, they might be entertaining because of Anthony
Edwards mostly. You know, I guess before call Anthony Towns
was a part of it. Now, if you're a fan
of Defense, I guess Rudy Gobert's part of it, and
then Jaden McDaniel's sort of evolving into a star's part
(32:30):
of it. But if you sort of play this through
and say, all right, the things that we don't want, right,
we don't want Okac to win again and be another champ,
but we don't want them to be a dynasty. We
want them to kind of, you know, be around as
somebody that you have to overcome, but not be the champion.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
But dynasties are good for the NBA, right historically they
are just not this particular team.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Yeah, they're good for the NBA in a way. But
like with the Spurs dynasty that lasted so long, they
won five championships over. I don't know what that was
twenty years it was that necessarily good. It was a
good thing because it was a team you could measure
yourself against, and that's important. I think the Thunder might
be the only team this season that has shown that
they are championship caliber from beginning to end. So if
(33:13):
you're going to measure yourself against anybody, you wanted to
be that team.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
I've been so out on this Thunder team ever since
that first round series against the Suns where you have
seven foot one chet Holmgren foubating six foot one Colin Gillespie.
And this is a whole other problem in the NBA
right now, where all the NBA players are looking at
each other and being like, you're foubating, you're faubating, And
then it's like, listen, guys, everybody in this league right
(33:39):
now is foulbrating. Jalen Bronson, Joe and b chet Holmgren, SGA,
all the superstars are doing it because the NBA is
basically encouraging it.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
When these are the best players in the NBA except
Donovan Mitchell, who says he doesn't like to flop.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
No.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I mean, we talked about this before it's all Michael
Jordan's fault.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
He flops every playoffs, he really does.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
But think about this, all right, So the other thing
that's some people are afraid of in a little bit
of a jokey way, but also in a bit of
a real way, is that Victor wenbin Yama's time as
the dominant player and therefore his team being the dominant
team is starting now and we don't see when it's
going to end. Right like that, that could you're basically
hoping for injuries the same way you did with Michael
Jordan back in the day, to see if your team
(34:18):
can get past that. So if you have Anthony Edwards
in this series coming back from injury right and just
being himself, letting his teammates be themselves and beating Victor Wenbinyama,
sort of delaying that process for Victor, that's something that's
a positive for the for the league, for fans, for
you know, Anthony Edwards fans also for the style of
(34:38):
play that he brings.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
But it creates a storyline, is what you're saying. So
Wenby couldn't get it done this year. He felt the pain,
and he has to come back and be better next year, right, Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
And then in the next round, like because we're just
assuming Luca can't be back and he's not going to
be healthy if he does. Okay, so he's gonna win
this series if he overcomes Okay, see, like he is.
He is America's like hero right there. If in that
series against ok see, what do you got?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Taylor, Dan's got something, tom Byer is dying to get
in here.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Yeah, I just wanted to say, I think it's so
funny on how it takes us so long to buy
into Oklahoma City, yet we are so quick to buy
into the Spurs, right.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, it's just a freak of nature, right, it's Oklahoma
City from doing what we all don't want them to do.
Speaker 8 (35:21):
Sure, but the Thunder at least have a title. Like,
there is no Greg Popovich there, there is no Tim Duncan.
It's all about Wemby and like, and that's the I
think we are just racing so quickly because of the
freak nature of Wemby, but in the same breath not
giving Oklahoma City their true flowers when they've already won
a title.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Sure, I mean you could even say that's another reason
to say, Hey, I don't want Wemby to succeed at
this level, just yet he needs to pay his dues.
Let's say he does that, he's already a hero. Right
fast forward to the finals, and really we're looking at
two teams that they're probably going to face, right It's
either going to be the Nix or the Pistons, at
least based on those game ones. We'll see after what
happens in these huge gay teams too. Yes, if he
(35:59):
in the finals has Madison Square Garden as his platform, yes,
I mean he's going to absolutely become whatever the next
level of superstar is. And then the other option being
against the Pistons, and he's got a similar path to
Michael Jordan and Kentuck. I mean, it's just a lot
of things that can create this narrative of Anthony Edwards
sort of taking over the face of the league.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I have a celebrity if they were named after graduation?
Oh really?
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yep, We're going to the music world, the DJ world.
Diplo Was it worth it?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Diplo?
Speaker 6 (36:35):
That was way better at interruption than Damn Buyer's

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Whatever you want to talk about Wednesday, eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
That is eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We'll
get to the Knicks. Joel Embiid is out for Game two.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
The Lakers lebron gave a strong effort last night and
they still lost by eighteen to Oklahoma City. We'll get
to that in just a second as well. But, uh,
there's a big soccer match. I know this because I
heard it on my way in and bordout. Ricardo has
his soccer jersey on. There's aggregate. One of the teams
(00:58):
is leading five to four headed into the game. We're
stealing ideas from soccer and we're implementing them into US sports.
What is the big soccer match today, Taylor?
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It's a Champions League semifinal Paris Saint Jerma and Bayern Munich.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Ah PSG nailed that.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
What is going on with Chris Simms? Who is in London?
He is traveling, he's on vacation. Sims at this soccer game?
Is that where he's at?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
So?
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Sims was at the Arsenal the other semifinal match yesterday
Arsenal at Lettico Madrid, and Sims was in some kind
of suite at Arsenal at the Emirates and he was
in a full suit at this suite, Like, sim stop
taking yourself so serious and drop the suit.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Look, budd, wait, you were just at his house. You're
friends with the family. Now Phil loves you, and now
you're taking shots at Chris.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
What do you do?
Speaker 2 (01:53):
It's a dangerous game, man, be careful. He where's a suit? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:56):
But Si, me and Sims have like this older brother
younger brother relationship where he wants absolutely nothing to do
with me as the older brother, and sometimes I gotta
give him the banter. Like sometimes during football night in America,
he would wear like a mister Roger sweatshirt. I'm like, Simms, man,
you're pretty cool, but that sweatshirt is doing you no favors.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I don't care that he's on vacation. Get him on
the show. Okay, just see if he wants to join us. Well,
I don't care if he cares. Just ask him if
he could join us and talk some soccer.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Also, this sweet he was in, Yes, was a Who's Who? Yes,
Bendict Cumberbach.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Wait, hold on, this is why I want to talk
to him. Is he will now understand why I don't care.
It is that he's on vacation. Give us the rest
of the names in that suite.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It was Benedict Cumberbatch, right, and Sean McVey Jawge's dropsy.
Speaker 6 (02:52):
I mean Benedict Cumberbatch. Little surprised that one was.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't know who that is.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I don't know if it's a Who's Who, it's a
it's a who oh at McVeigh right, right, that's how
Simms rolls, and he rolls wearing a suit. Listen, when
you're going to an event in which you're gonna see
very little scoring, you got to dress.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Up for it.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
It's a roll the wood by Taylor.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I believe he was in an owner's box too, and
that's why he was wearing the suit.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
Wait a second, so you're going on this. So you're
going to an old like Chicago Bears New England Patriots game,
and like the mid nineteen eighties, everybody's dressed in the
suit and tie. You're expecting low scoring.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yes, dick a sweater with a shirt at its high underneath.
I mean imagine if Hallis was coaching that team. I mean,
I mean, he'd be dressed with a ninth A parent.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yes, Mikey Jack tel Rio wanted to wear a suit
on every game, probably because he knew he wasn't going
to score the Jaguars.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Is that why pat Riley dressed so well, because it
was all low scoring in his mind? Yes, yes, that
all makes sense.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Dress for success, I mean low scoring success you have,
but defense will success for Riley back then? Right?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
Yeah, I mean I guess that the game has changed.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Let's play this. Uh we had Weekeken observations. We did
it on the podcast on Monday. I'm not getting enough
credit around here. No one is locked into these NBA
playoffs more than me, nobody. I Sixers down three to
one to the Celtics. Is he is so mad at me?
Speaker 6 (04:19):
He's supposed to give you the credit? I mean names
on the show you get all the credit.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, listen, you know Taylor likes to send out
clips of Taylor again.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Yes, you go, that's your fault. You gave him control
of your socials.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Well on PSG scored early yep, wow two minutes into
this game, so it's six four or five five six
four on aggregate?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Wow? You like how I knew that? Huh? Yeah? I
mean just goal.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
So, like I was saying, I'm not getting enough credit
around here, one goal because no one is glued and
locked into these NBA playoffs, like I am not. Is
he not Steven A Smith, not Frank I Sola, nobody,
Sixers down three to one to the Celtics. No one
gave him a shot. I said the Sixers would win
(05:01):
that series. And b comes back and he's healthy and
he's playing great. And then on Monday we did the
wee Can Observations and I said this about Joel.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Embiid, Joel Embiid get some new material? Is he? You
know what the E and embiid stands for.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
No, it stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt by
Game three. Anyway, locked it, I'm locked in.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Did you record that off of a radio inside of
a car and then replay it for us. What was
that sound from a flip phone?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yes, I was underwater.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (05:39):
I don't know how that sounds sent I'm playing it
on my phone right now, and it sounds completely normal.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
That's exactly what I remember talk radio sounding like in
nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yes, is that iowa Sam being the d boy yet again?
I mean defense against our offense?
Speaker 7 (05:59):
So yeah, quality sounded like he was fifteen years old.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Sounds good on Taylor's phone, though, I mean yes? So
should I play it for my phone? Yeah? Yes, do it?
Speaker 6 (06:10):
Do it from your phone on the trail sounds great, Busy.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
You know what the E and embeid stands for.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
It stands for everyone knows you'll be hurt by game three?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Anyway? Nailed it now, but still good. I was Sam.
Let's hear yours again, please, if you don't mind, just
one more time? New material? Izzy, you know what the
E and embiid stands for. It stands for everyone knows
you'll be hurt by game three? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Is he on a car phone?
Speaker 1 (06:44):
I'm like three car phones and I'm submarine.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Let's go to Izzy from a my goodness, and here
comes Red Grange down the sideline.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
That guy wears a suit. I mean.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
That's like when you send somebody a picture and in
your phone it's glorious, and on their phone it's like
this little one centimeter by one centimeter blurry box. It's like, oh, man,
something's wrong with your phone.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
I think that's an iPhone to a non iPhone transaction.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
Do we know the problem?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So Izzy, the Knicks have Game two tonight at Madison
Square Garden. I love Game twos because you're going to
see the teams that are desperate. Tonight, Philadelphia, still without EMBIID,
is going to be a very desperate team. I imagine
that game is going to be a lot closer than
Game one was. And then you have San Antonio later on,
also a desperate team because they need to get a
(07:33):
victory here.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
They don't want to go down too.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
Why are you laughing?
Speaker 2 (07:36):
We're finally talking NBA.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Playoffs for you cracking up because you say I love
Game twos, and I was like, this is something I
didn't know about. I love a game, so I wanted
to go grab a pen right about that down, which
is another STU Gods move, and I don't have a
pen and Both of those things just.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Made me laugh to I have your pen it's right here.
But I do love Game twos. Dealers, Well, we tend
to get carried a way in these series. We discussed
this a little bit yesterday, where the Knicks win big
in Game one and we think, all right, Like I
told Taylor today, I'm terrified of the Pistons and I
shouldn't be thinking about the Eastern Conference finals because we're
(08:13):
not done with Philadelphia yet. And so you have these
teams who are desperate. They don't want to go down
oh two, especially the Spurs. That's going to be interesting
because you can't go down two headed back to Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
But this is going to be interesting tonight.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
I do think the Sixers will keep it very close
and hopefully the next will win.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I'm with Izzy here though, on you saying you love
Game two. It's not game to love rank games one
through seven right now?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Okay, Game two best two words in sports.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Come on, seven's gotta be won.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
We'll go seven as number one.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
So Game seven, l that's the Andy Petnit game. Game two, yes, yeah,
thank you, it's a big game. Game two is an
underrated game, I'm telling you.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
But how under it in terms of importance. Well, the series,
both series could be over tonight. I mean technically if
the win it hasn't started, No, and Minnesota already started.
They want to round talking through these looks, y, you
got so Game seven is number one on my list. Okay,
that's how I do it. I just keep talking, so
hopefully someone forgets, mikey. Game seven is number one on
(09:14):
my list.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Okay. Game two is number two.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Yeah, bigger than Game six.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Much bigger than Game six. All right, Game two sets
the tone for the rest of the series. Okay, it's
a tone center. So Game two is my second favorite.
And then I love and man do I love a
big Game four?
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Wow, i'd Game five there really really?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
Game four is not really that? Game five classically pivotal.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Plasically pivotal. Y, some would say it's not so.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Game four was three, Game four is three, Game five
is four, Game six is five.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
How many games left do I have?
Speaker 6 (10:01):
You've got one in three?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
So game one is the least important, least game is
the second least important.
Speaker 6 (10:06):
Yes, so we go seven, two, four, five, six three one?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Now then so game one is the least important.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
But there's something that happens from game one to game two,
where the series can be designed.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh, the whole series could be shifted tonight, I'm telling you.
But it also might not start. It might be over.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
I mean, listen, tell me right now. If the Timberwolves
win tonight, that series isn't over. It's over, right, yeah,
and it will have started twice, all right?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Correct? Now you're getting it. Yes, you might not be
able to read.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Anything today because I'm crying with left.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Now. If the Knicks win Game two, this series isn't over.
It just hasn't started yet, right, right, But it's close
to being over. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
I think so, I hope, so, I hope everybody gets it.
I just know I didn't realize that Game two was
the second most beloved phrase in sports. Yes, it is
funny with Joel Embid. I was actually thinking about this
before I heard him. Man, that was before I heard
that he was out. I think they'd be better off
without him in a in a not for the series, right,
(11:12):
but in a let's just play free game two right where? Okay, yeah,
we need to steal one eventually from New York. But
maybe this isn't the one Joel's not and their defense
just becomes better because they don't have Joel in a
sort of lazy drop coverage seventy five percent of the time.
And you know, if you tell vj Edgecomb, hey, you
(11:34):
got more responsibility. Now we've seen that he can turn
that into a forty burger. And so I think you
know not to say again, not for the series, but
for this game too, they might have been a slightly better.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Off without Joe game too. Is he this?
Speaker 4 (11:47):
This game too feels like it's it's two sides of
a coin, where one side is mbiads sitting tonight feels
like a punk game. Two, let him bead rest as
much as possible, get him back in Philadelphia. Series still
hasn't started. The other side of that coin, The TM
Tyrese Maxie stands for a trap game, fifty point game coming.
Speaker 6 (12:06):
He did gets to the Celtics, right, That was without embiid
and that was in Boston.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, this is what I worry about. I mean, I
would rather Embid play at this point. I'm so tired
of that guy with the tickets and don't let Nick
fans buy the tickets at Philadelphia and then you're not
playing by game two. I mean just enough out of
hit a big game two. Who misses a big game two?
I mean nobody.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
I mean it was happening a game, you know how
big it is.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
Yeah, it was strange how defiant Joe Embiid was with
like the ticket thing in Philadelphia where he was like,
if you need money, I got you. But we really
haven't gotten any follow ups since then. Like if a
Philadelphia fan had an offer for five hundred dollars to
sell their tickets to a Knicks fan and they chose
not to because Joe Embiid said, I'll just give you
the money instead. Ye, Joel Embiid kind of feels like
(12:53):
he's he's liable for that five hundred dollars. Now.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Well, I don't know if he feels like that, but
perhaps an attorney will feel like that.
Speaker 6 (13:00):
Carl Douglas, there's just no way the message will get
to him. That's how he'll be free of this. Oh nobody.
It never actually reached me. It reached my agent, but
it didn't reach me.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Right, If you sell your tickets, Philly, I don't blame you.
Were expect you bought him, expecting to see Joel Embiid
and of course he's not going to show up because
he never shows up.
Speaker 6 (13:16):
But also, if I was Joel Embid in that moment,
I'd be feeling pretty good about myself, Like I just
beat the Celtics team that was supposed to, by most
people's measure, make it to the finals. And now we've
got this NIXT team that's, yeah, feeling itself because it
beat the Hawks. But I think i'd be talking my
stuff too if I was Joel it.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Was their super Bowl. You're right, I mean, I can't
disagree with you on that. I am terrified of Oklahoma City.
And this is what happens, Okay, when you blow out,
you have a big blowout in Game one, you start
thinking about the Pistons in the Eastern Conference Finals, and
then you start thinking about, Hey, what am I doing
all this for?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
Why am I staying up so late? Why am I
getting so emotional?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Because Lebron James gave you the game that he wanted, Okay,
that you wanted if you're a Laker fan, A great
game last night by Lebron, still lost by eighteen, and
Shae didn't play that well. And so I'm terrified of
Oklahoma City because now I'm thinking about the NBA Finals.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
Well, I mean, this is what it's disappointing, right, It's
disappointing that Luca can't play because this would have been
so much better. I know, it would have been so
great to see Luca ahead of the Snake versus SGA,
like bang bang one versus the other, which one's going
to dominate or which one's gonna come out on top?
And you know, based on that first game, it looked like, yeah,
if Luca was there, the Lakers actually have a chance here.
(14:25):
And again, you know the old David Stern line, I
want to see the Lakers versus the Lakers in the
finals every years. That's what's best for the NBA. Like
that would have been amazing, but instead it's more than
likely going to be Okay. See, I don't know if
you saw this, but Luca talked about his injury and
one of the things he said is that when he
first got checked out, the doctor said, yeah, eight weeks,
and so this would be five weeks, and so it's
(14:47):
not looking good. Like if he plays late in this series,
it's going to be probably you know, with a shot
in his hammy and not feeling much of anything and
really won't be able to play for much longer.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
Stull, You're seeing the problem with this Thunder team in
terms of going forward in the NBA, where they've collected
so many assets that when they're in their championship window
very clearly right now, they could very easily flip a
first round pick for somebody who who is a surplus
on another team and becomes a luxury for them. Like
(15:19):
they got Jared McCain to be, what is he their
tenth eleventh guy on their bench, and Jared McCain can
come in and score double digit points on almost any
given night when when he was on the sixers before
he got that injury, Jared McCain looked like he could
have been the Rookie of the year.
Speaker 6 (15:34):
They have so many quality players that they can adjust
the rotation on any given night and it won't lose
much of anything, Like the guys will step in and
do whatever's needed of them. But to your point, it
does sort of make me feel like there's something that
can happen this postseason that can quote unquote like I'm
being hyperbolic here, but save the NBA at least as
(15:56):
far as not being back to back years for okay,
and maybe not being Wemby's, you know, start of the
dominance that people are going to get bored with. There's
a little something that I think can happen this year
that might change all that, but I don't want to
talk about that yet. We got to go to break.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Really, that's what we call teas in the business. It's
a great teas. Unfortunately, we have a graduation speech for
playing next.
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Oh really yeah, Well, sometime in the show you'll get
my answer.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Okay, it's the rare teas in the first segment for
the last segment of the first hour.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
How about that? All right? You give it that, Chess Chess.

Speaker 5 (17:00):
Against Truce on the right wing, pay to the basket,
jumps it off for JD another jam Yes, baby, Hey,
that combination has been so good for so long for
the Pistons.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Jav bickerstaf says, don't shoot it. I would have.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
And eighteen to eight clothes for the Pistons. After the
Cleveland Cavaliers had tied the score at ninety three, with
five and twenty eight to go in the game.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
I would argue to play the day was the star
Thompson's chase down block. But who am I to argue
with Ti Rag And now.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
They have, of course, a pivotal game two coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (17:41):
Yute.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
I mean, you can't lose that one if you're you're
the Cavs. James Harden please.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
He's so bad. How many turnovers for Harden last night? Eight?
Speaker 6 (17:50):
I think it was eight. He's terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I marvel before we get to Dan Bayer in a
graduation speech that I did.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I marvel we have guest bookers.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Here, and I always marvel at who Taylor is going
to say yes to and who he's going to say
no to. Because I really left it up to Taylor
at this point. Bob Chesney is going to join us
at four point thirty today, the UCLA head coach. And
the timing is good football, yes, because of the expanded
Well we all know mc cronin as a basketball coach.
Speaker 6 (18:18):
Well, I was just thinking of any sports it's in season.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yes, Well, the timing's good because of the expanded college
football playoff that's being proposed. But I am wondering why
you were so quick to respond yes to Bob Chesney.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
So in sports, sometimes a line in the sand is
drawn and you have to pick a side. We clearly
have to pick a side in the battle for La
UCLA versus USC and this show. I will not allow
this show to be a pro Lincoln Riley show. That
fraud over there in Lincoln Riley. The twenty four team
(18:53):
playoff was made for Lincoln Riley, Yes it was.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
He's the one pushing for it because he's never in it.
Speaker 6 (18:58):
So I did not know I would have to be
picking a side in this line in the sand today,
But I guess it's chosen for me, right, Yeah, well
Taylor chosen Yep.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
We're all brilliants. Okay, okay, yeah, thank you okay with that.
I mean, I don't know. I like the Trojans.
Speaker 6 (19:13):
I mean I kind of like you.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
I see. Maybe I don't love Lincoln Riley, but I
like you. We'll give Chesney a chance to win us over.
How about that? I'm open for that.
Speaker 6 (19:22):
Yes, by the ways, do the answer is seven?
Speaker 2 (19:25):
To what turnover?
Speaker 6 (19:28):
He was going to ask he stakes.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yesterday we had Christopher mad Dog Russo. We talked about graduation.
I'm going up to graduation. Man, it goes quick. I
am going up to a graduation this weekend for one
of my daughters at Syracuse University, the ques Yeap. Looking
forward to that.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
The Orange uh huh.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
And we talked about commencement speeches and the fact that
Dog has never given one. I would pay to see
Dog give one. I've never given one one, which is
not the truth, because I realized that I did after
we spoke with with Christopher mad Doug Russo. So, I
am going to play a commencement speech that I did
for the Stugat School of frodcasting many years ago, since
(20:13):
it's graduation season. But I was thinking, is he about
a top five lest yesterday?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Last night? Today?
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Top five people in sports whose parents if they were
huge fans of all things graduations, what their names would be.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
In love pomp and circumstance.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
It's just a bridge into the speech, that's all it is. Okay,
a speech that you did years ago, I did a
few years ago. But it's a laugh out loud funny.
I think the audience will enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
No, I remember it. I just thought you're doing a
new one.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I have an oli. I'm not doing a new one.
No OA.
Speaker 6 (20:47):
Ever again, that's a bridge too, fun Iowa.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Sam just asked if I wanted pomp and circumstance, and
yes I did, all right, ol I. Caleb gowns you
number five Brian scale of Victorian.
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Scale. Number four Matt Tasselback, that's.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
A good one.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
To number three Javail degree, that's a great, fantastic number
two John A.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Speechee speech.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
That was definitely a job of metia, a bit, a
bit of a reach, but still hilarious at the same.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Time, speechy speech and number one grad mccakey.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
Graand Penny oh grad, Penny damn it.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
So with that said, years ago, me and Dance stands
It collaborated and then years later we put collaborate on
a book.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
He thought I would write more of it because I
wrote this speech. I didn't. I handed it over to Dan.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Let's play my graduation speech for the class of I
think twenty eighteen, perhaps from the Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
School of Broadcasting.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Listen up, students, faculty, parents, grandparents, and sponsors, especially the sponsors. Tiza,
the official watch of the NBA, that beautiful Spalding game Day, Leather,
and ZIP recruiter the smartest way to hire graduates. Zip
(22:50):
Recruiter will hire the producers, guest bookers, and researchers.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
That will make your jobs even easier.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Day which will live in infamy for graduates of Syracuse
and Northwestern Great moments are born from great opportunity, and that's.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
What you have here. That's what you've heard here.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
If we debated them ten times, they might win nine,
but not anymore. Today we interrupt that. Today, we clash
with that, and we shut them down because we can.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Today. You are the.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Greatest broadcasters in the world. You were born to be broadcasters, every.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
One of you. This is your time. Their time is done.
It's over.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I'm sick and tired of hearing about what great broadcast
schools the ivys have screw up.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
This is your time.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Dream.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Many years ago, I had a dreamed that my two teenage.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Children will one day live in.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
A nation where they will not be judged by the
color of their skin, but by the content of the
paycheck their father's character receives. I knew it wouldn't be
easy to transform sports media, but take it from me,
you miss one hundred percent of the takes. You don't
steal from Greenie, Cowhard and Pablo. I mean, I've missed
(24:28):
more than nine thousand pronunciations in my career. I've lost
almost three hundred debates twenty six times. I've been trusted
to make the segment ending joke and misheard what was said.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
In my year.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I have failed over and over and over again in
my life, and that is why I succeed. Always remember
what you learned on your first day here, Speak loudly,
and carry a big stick.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Go farm.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
To my many detractors, I ask, do you want the truth?
Because most traditional reporters can't handle the truth. We live
in a world that has paywalls, and those paywalls have
to be guarded by men with journalism degrees.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Who's gonna do it?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
You, Lieutenant Oban, I have a greater responsibility than you
could possibly fabil. You week for newspapers, and you curse
the blogs and podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
You have that luxury, You have the luxury of not.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Knowing what I know that the death of newspapers, while tragic,
probably created better content, and my existence, while grotesque and
incomprehensible to you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Creates better content.
Speaker 6 (25:46):
How is this that you don't.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Want the truth?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Because deep down in places you don't talk about in
press boxes, you want me on that radio.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
You need me on that radio.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You use things like stat sources and postgame quotes. You
use those things as the backbone of a life spent
defending something. I use them as a punchline.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I have neither the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Time nor the inclination to explain myself to everyone who
rides in sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom
that I provide, and then questions the matter in which
I provide it. I'd rather they just say thank you
and went.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
On their way.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Otherwise, I suggest they borrow someone else's takes and mail
it a podcast. Either way, I don't give a damn
what they think they are entitled to. My fellow broadcasters,
ask not what your alma mater could do for you.
Ask what you could do for your alma mater, And
(26:48):
what you could do is send yearly donations. Better make
it monthly donations. If you want to make them weekly,
that's fine. Just make them out to my name. Keep
the cast flow coming. The buck stops here at my
desk and speaking up. The bucks must win game game
five tonight, and so you don't have to pronounce his name,
(27:10):
as I taught you, remember, just call him the Greek Free.
In less than an hour you will join others from
around the world, and you will be launching the largest
vocal battle on traditional journalism in the history of mankind journalism.
That word should have new meaning for all of us today.
(27:32):
We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
We will be united in our common interest.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Perhaps it's faith that today is graduation day and you
will be.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Set out into the world.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
So fight people with frame diplomas at stack resumes. We
will be fighting for our right to not work hard,
to have no credibility, and still be able to land
at the same network as Bob Lee. And should we
win the day, graduation day will no longer be known
(28:11):
as the day of accomplishment, but as a day other
parents realize they have wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars,
and a day that we the underachievers, declared in one voice,
we will not watch the game at night. We may
or may not watch the Big Pips. We're going to
(28:33):
live on without facts. We're going to survive without reading.
Today we celebrate your graduation day.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
Somewhere like it's a little bit commencement speeds, a little bit,
acceptance speeds a little bit.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Closing argument, a bent defiance, very self serving.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
You really went, Caleb gowns, Ever, Karl Anthony gowns.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
You're stuck on that?
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Really, there was so much to break down in that
in that commencement speech.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Yeah, I was ahead of my time. Listen man foreshadowing,
how about that?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
My favorite was the appearance we got from Martin Luther
ding Dong Junior.
Speaker 7 (29:20):
STU, could I jump in and offer some observations on this?
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Oh? Please do?
Speaker 7 (29:24):
I felt I felt a little Teddy Roosevelt in there.
I felt a little few good men, and I felt
a lot of definitely.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
At the end of Thomas J.
Speaker 7 (29:33):
Whittmore, President of the United States, played by Bill Pullman
in Independence day.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I have no idea what you're speaking. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
I just did you get any of that? I don't see.
I didn't I didn't see to get anything. Were listening
while we were listening to the speech.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Are you claiming that I plagiarize my speech? Is that
what you're No?
Speaker 7 (29:52):
I think you're just borrowing some spices, maybe from several
popular speeches from movies that ture.
Speaker 6 (29:58):
We need him on this radio, We want him on
this radio.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
True, there's no way it was characterized. Half of it
was about him. You notice that, Dad.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Also, the act of stealing takes is encouraged.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Always, yes, I mean as a fellow graduate. Yes, Steel,
mind Steel, Taylor's.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Graduated on the top of my class. You're my prize students.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
He also could have gone Matt Tassel instead of Tassel
back because Tassel would have worked as well with Castle.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Hey, how about you make a list.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
A couple of big game tuesdanight.
Speaker 6 (30:54):
Bigger than I thought.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Yes, they're all big Well, Game two is the second
biggest of the set of it, game seven, of course,
being the biggest there barely right, Listen, you know what
you're guaranteed in a series of Game two? You know
what you're not guaranteed.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Is a game set? Absolutely true?
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Yeah, so is he thinks that Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves,
I guess have a chance here to help the NBA
tremendously because no one wants to see Oklahoma City dominate
the sport the way they've been dominating the sport. And
my fear is, I'm telling you right now, Oklahoma City
is not going to lose if they lose until like
game three, which is the least of the important of
(31:31):
the games, Game three of the Western Conference Finals. Like
I'm this team is so ridiculously stacked and good that
my fear is we're all getting emotional and all getting
wound up for absolutely nothing because they're gonna walk away
with it.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
Yeah. And that's one of the reasons, right okase being
not you know, the world's favorite champion, and as far
as the league is concerned, if there is a champion
that isn't either you know, beloved or causing controversy series.
You know, they could use a better one, But I
think with Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves, they've sort of
(32:08):
felt like the last few years, not really an afterthought,
but kind of like a side show, right, Like, yeah,
there's no way they can make it all the way,
but dang it, they might be entertaining because of Anthony
Edwards mostly. You know, I guess before call Anthony Towns
was a part of it. Now, if you're a fan
of Defense, I guess Rudy Gobert's part of it, and
then Jaden McDaniel's sort of evolving into a star's part
(32:30):
of it. But if you sort of play this through
and say, all right, the things that we don't want, right,
we don't want Okac to win again and be another champ,
but we don't want them to be a dynasty. We
want them to kind of, you know, be around as
somebody that you have to overcome, but not be the champion.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
But dynasties are good for the NBA, right historically they
are just not this particular team.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Yeah, they're good for the NBA in a way. But
like with the Spurs dynasty that lasted so long, they
won five championships over. I don't know what that was
twenty years it was that necessarily good. It was a
good thing because it was a team you could measure
yourself against, and that's important. I think the Thunder might
be the only team this season that has shown that
they are championship caliber from beginning to end. So if
(33:13):
you're going to measure yourself against anybody, you wanted to
be that team.
Speaker 4 (33:17):
I've been so out on this Thunder team ever since
that first round series against the Suns where you have
seven foot one chet Holmgren foubating six foot one Colin Gillespie.
And this is a whole other problem in the NBA
right now, where all the NBA players are looking at
each other and being like, you're foubating, you're faubating, And
then it's like, listen, guys, everybody in this league right
(33:39):
now is foulbrating. Jalen Bronson, Joe and b chet Holmgren, SGA,
all the superstars are doing it because the NBA is
basically encouraging it.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
When these are the best players in the NBA except
Donovan Mitchell, who says he doesn't like to flop.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
No.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I mean, we talked about this before it's all Michael
Jordan's fault.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
He flops every playoffs, he really does.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
But think about this, all right, So the other thing
that's some people are afraid of in a little bit
of a jokey way, but also in a bit of
a real way, is that Victor wenbin Yama's time as
the dominant player and therefore his team being the dominant
team is starting now and we don't see when it's
going to end. Right like that, that could you're basically
hoping for injuries the same way you did with Michael
Jordan back in the day, to see if your team
(34:18):
can get past that. So if you have Anthony Edwards
in this series coming back from injury right and just
being himself, letting his teammates be themselves and beating Victor Wenbinyama,
sort of delaying that process for Victor, that's something that's
a positive for the for the league, for fans, for
you know, Anthony Edwards fans also for the style of
(34:38):
play that he brings.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
But it creates a storyline, is what you're saying. So
Wenby couldn't get it done this year. He felt the pain,
and he has to come back and be better next year, right, Okay.
Speaker 6 (34:47):
And then in the next round, like because we're just
assuming Luca can't be back and he's not going to
be healthy if he does. Okay, so he's gonna win
this series if he overcomes Okay, see, like he is.
He is America's like hero right there. If in that
series against ok see, what do you got?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Taylor, Dan's got something, tom Byer is dying to get
in here.
Speaker 8 (35:06):
Yeah, I just wanted to say, I think it's so
funny on how it takes us so long to buy
into Oklahoma City, yet we are so quick to buy
into the Spurs, right.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well, it's just a freak of nature, right, it's Oklahoma
City from doing what we all don't want them to do.
Speaker 8 (35:21):
Sure, but the Thunder at least have a title. Like,
there is no Greg Popovich there, there is no Tim Duncan.
It's all about Wemby and like, and that's the I
think we are just racing so quickly because of the
freak nature of Wemby, but in the same breath not
giving Oklahoma City their true flowers when they've already won
a title.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Sure, I mean you could even say that's another reason
to say, Hey, I don't want Wemby to succeed at
this level, just yet he needs to pay his dues.
Let's say he does that, he's already a hero. Right
fast forward to the finals, and really we're looking at
two teams that they're probably going to face, right It's
either going to be the Nix or the Pistons, at
least based on those game ones. We'll see after what
happens in these huge gay teams too. Yes, if he
(35:59):
in the finals has Madison Square Garden as his platform, yes,
I mean he's going to absolutely become whatever the next
level of superstar is. And then the other option being
against the Pistons, and he's got a similar path to
Michael Jordan and Kentuck. I mean, it's just a lot
of things that can create this narrative of Anthony Edwards
sort of taking over the face of the league.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
I have a celebrity if they were named after graduation?
Oh really?
Speaker 4 (36:23):
Yep, We're going to the music world, the DJ world.
Diplo Was it worth it?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Diplo?
Speaker 6 (36:35):
That was way better at interruption than Damn Buyer's

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
