(00:43):
I mean, I promise you closer and like, can you
feel it? I just I'm I'm really really excited and
look I just again, as many of you know who
listen to the show, I'm the new head coach at
Green Bay, which does give me. I don't have like
complete access to the packers whatever, but I I've never
been a packer game I get to go this year,
and I think they're gonna have an exciting season. More
(01:04):
than that, you know, I'm guessing we're gonna come back
and do Chargers Camp and Rams camp as well as
do Packers camp as well. But just the idea of
football feels like, you know, with all the changes in
college football, I'm excited for that we finally have a playoff.
I don't love the conference expansion, but it is what
it is. It does give us unbelievable matchups, and I
(01:27):
think there's a far less the fear of playing somebody
in the non conference is lessened on some level because
everybody's gonna lose a couple games. I mean, no one's
going on to feeding this thing. But football season is
right around the corner and a summer league season is here.
But we've definitely hit the dog days a little bit.
(01:47):
I'm sure you had a long weekend. We did, Jason
and I. We worked Thursday and Friday, although Jay, you
took Thursday off. Friday, we did, Dan Patrick Montsey. I
know you worked all weekend long. I saw I listened
to your stuff and I saw it pumping up on
the gram as well. And with that, let's get to
what we loved from the weekend, What we hated from
the weekend. Something we call love and hate.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
What did you love?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
God?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
These play hay is ah love love love love. Love
is in the air. Love is in the air. Let's
start with you, mon see something you love sports wise
nonsports wise in the weekend?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
All right, I love and I a little bit hated,
but I actually love because it's my dad. You know,
some people just have like really good luck, like just
for some reason, just luck is constantly on their side.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
My dad might be listening.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
My dad, like a week ago, decided to go probably
like Pachanga casino as a couple of friends, came back
with with a couple thousands in his pocket. Okay, And
then yesterday he tells me that he bet a twenty
dollars four leg parlay on wa NBA players, completely guessing.
I saw who he selected, Angel Reese, Kennedy, Carner, Carter
(03:07):
nekka Ogumkay and Juel Lloyd and this guy hit and won.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
And I'm just like, I love you, Dad, slightly hate
that all the luck is on you. I don't have
luck like this, like, I don't know why life is
not fair and this is one example of it. But
I love it because it's my dad. You see, I'm
very conflicted. Go Dad, go make more money. I'm very
jealous of your luck.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
So that the four leg parlay pays ten to one,
he bet twenty dollars.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Bet he bet, Yeah, he bet twenty and I think
he got like two hundred and two fifty or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
But it's like he didn't know what he was picking.
He didn't know these.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Players he's and then the players he selected are good,
you know players. I was like, yeah, okay, but they
all hit and he was like yeah, so I guess
I'm gonna start watching WNBA.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I was like, well, there you go. Look at that.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
And how did he make his bank roll at Pachanga?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
The swaths slots he loves slots, and his friends like
left him there, like his friends left and he sat
down for like a couple more minutes and then hit
like how unfair, God, Dad, love you.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Awesome.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Iowa, Sam, gotta go with the low hanging fruit here.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I know I left it for you, and you.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Guys know where I'm going here. Penalty kicks. I love
penalty kicks, guys, because you're watching these international soccer matches,
whether it's Copa or it's the Euro Championships, A lot
of time there's just not a lot of scoring. You know,
you get to a zero zero draw or a one
nothing one one. You really boil the drama of football,
(04:43):
of soccer. You boil it down into its greatest drama
with penalty kicks, and it is so good. The drama
is so good it has changed my music up there.
The drama is so good. Penalty kicks you're finally getting
that goal scoring that you've been craving the whole game.
And yeah, it's just mono amano and it's just like
(05:03):
face to face and I love, I love some of
the penalty kick sessions of this This weekends on soccer matches.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
So the are you talking about the penalty kicks to
decide these games? Yes? Yeah, isn't that the doug? Is
that not consider the worst way to desclide a game?
You have the worst you have these countries, Why train
for hours and hours and it comes down and they can't.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
Get the ball in the goal. So then they got
to go to penalty kicks where it's like you got
just the meat, that's nothing but meat. Oh, but it's
such good drama. It's such good drama.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It is good drama, and.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I just I think, I think you're mistaken. This is
like the college football playoff rules, where you mistaken good
drama for good sports. You know, it's just well, I
can love it. The white flag, like we couldn't decide it,
so you guys penally shoot it out.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Well, it it comes down like you're seeing these goalies
make a stand too. So it's it's not just a
given for the kicker.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Are they really making a center? Are they're just guessing?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right, guessing?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
I know, But it's awesome. But it's awesome they.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
The anticipation and the way this analytics. It's it's just
so good. It's the raw.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's not so it is not so good. Well it's
there's a lot of drama. It's not so good. But
then listen, you're allowed to love it.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
I allowed to love it, and I do love it.
I just don't like it.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
That's so much of a departure from the rest of
the athletic event, Like correct.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It is playing on this gigantic pitch. Sorry, why did
I say, pitch, it's not a field, Like, let's not.
We don't call it a lift for an elevator, we
call it a we call it an elevator. So we
don't call it a pitch. We called a field playing
this gigantic field, and yet while we're going to condense
it into one, like, well, then they kick to decide
who wins it.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Then they they they're not doing enough of getting the
ball into the goal. There's all this running around.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
To keep playing, keep playing for goal.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Well it's that monsie sudden death instead of this golden goalie.
Golden goal.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
I like penalty kicks, and I loved them over the weekend.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
They're great. How about take out the goalie? Like, if
you really want to be gimmicky, just be like, all right, overtime,
no goalies, good luck.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Guys, kind of like that one.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
I mean, it's just as gimmicky and lame.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well we do that in college football, like, hey, I
know it's on New York field. Let's just play last
twenty five. Oh and then after in second overtime you
got to go for two. It's like if if in
basketball they said like, hey, listen, overtime, we're gonna just
play half court and then double overtime. You can only
shoot threes.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
It's crazy because you know it ties stink, all right.
You need a winner and a loser. So we got
to sell it somehow.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Uh okay, Jason Stewart, something you love from the weekend.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
So Monzi, she got me tickets to Friday night's Dodger game.
Thank you very much for that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Good teams they went the they went terrible.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
I do not look at gift horse in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Hold on, I do, I do, I know, I do,
I listen. I love you guys, but if you give
me bad seats, I just I'm not going to use it. Sets.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
No, you told us your you two story. You went
and saw you too, and you're like, I'm gonna have
to go back and see it again because my free
tickets were not good enough. That's what you said to us.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, so you two, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, those weren't
free tickets, but they weren't great seats.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
But anyways, I got to see something I've never seen
in person in my entire life. So I've been going
to games since I was what four or five years old.
That's a lot of games I've never seen a person
hit three home runs in a game. Yeah, and Will Smith,
our catcher, hit three home runs in a game. It's
really hard for some of them by age to be
like I just went to a sporting and event and
(08:52):
saw something I've never seen before and I did it
and the Dodgers won and Christina was very happy. That
was the most important part and it was a great night.
So thank you, Monsi Bonsa, You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It wasn't it Awy's birthday?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Whose birthday?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Taws that night?
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Oh, I think it was his birthday and he didn't
have like a great game, but Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
At three, So I was like, oh, he did it
for his birthday.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Good night, good night. Yep.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
July fifth, Oh all right, so my love loved just
this weekend, I went to Summerfest, which is apparently the
biggest concert series in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Is that right, biggest concert series in the world. I'm
gonna go with it because I was told that I
have not checked that and saw Maroon five, and Maroon
five is one of those bands where you're like, I
don't know anybody who doesn't like Roon five. I could
be wrong, you guys. I'm Jason probably doesn't like him.
Do you not like him to you despise them?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
No, they have they have like a large catalog of music,
so inevitably I like two or three.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Songs, Sure, that's fair, Like you like everyone likes two
or three to ten of their songs, right, And he
falls somewhere in the middle, you know. And you know
Adam Levine from the voice he's crazy talented, right because
he like he does pick up the guitar and he
can clearly play it. But it feels like, hey, I'm
just going to show off for a minute, and it
has nothing to do with the actual song being played,
and we have regular guitarists. But nonetheless it's a great show.
(10:15):
It was a great show. And I started to realize
something that all of those kind of mid size city,
downtown outdoor concert venues are exactly like like I went
to the one in Hartford for I don't know, twenty shows,
and the one in Milwaukee, I think it's American Family
Insurance something or other. I shout out to the groupers
(10:40):
David and Steven who got us some tickets. Good seats,
by the way, right, good seats, not like ridiculous seats,
not like I could see I could read Adam's tattoos,
but plenty good enough anyway. I just it was awesome.
And then that was on the fifth. On the fourth,
I sat out in the back of my house and
(11:00):
Green Bay, which is part of Lake Michigan. When I
tell you, I think there were fifty fireworks shows of
some some form that I could see. It was like
fifty and I just it was great, very great, peaceful weekend.
A little bit of baseball on TV, a little bit
of soccer on TV, a little bit of no TV
on TV. I enjoyed that a lot of it.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Question about Maroon five, Yes, so my favorite song by
Maroon five is what Lovers Do? Yeah, here's the key though.
The key to that song is that's featured uh with Sizza.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I was just about to say, because yeah, I like
siss as well.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Was she there?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
She was not, But but they did have the the
other song with Carti as well with Cardi By they
piped it in and.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Oh they pipe in the vocals. I don't know if
I like that. I don't know if I like some
random woman to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You know, Sizza was there like the week before, so
she couldn't be there for that one. I think so
it's good show. All right, let's get to the other side.
Let's get to what we hated. Okay, let's let's go
(12:12):
back saying what we started. Monzie, let me hate it
form the Weekend, all right.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
So this is I hate this, and it's happened at
other concerts. I went to Blank twenty eighty two on Saturday.
It was at Sofi Stadium. And my problem is when
you go see like a like a band or a
group that has been around for a really long time,
even if you have a new album, I need you
to play the hits. I need you to play Adam's song.
(12:36):
I need you to play What's My Age again? I
need you to do those songs, even though this is
a tour of your new album that you released in October.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
But they missed out on so many what I like
hits from you know why you have these fans because
I don't think Blank twent eighty two is getting new fans.
Next to me, I have this like fourteen year old
girl that was there with her parents. She looked bored,
her parents looked excited. So it's like, I need you
to play the hits.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I get it. This is a new album, but played
the hits, played the hits. I hate that.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
So they actually went the entire concert without playing like
their top five songs.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
They did, but they didn't play those.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I don't know if they switch them around, like what
hits they play depending on the city.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I don't know. I didn't look at that, but they
did not play those at so far.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
No, that's a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, why wouldn't they play Why would they not do that?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I don't know, Like I was so, you know, that's like.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's like Dan Levittari Show back when it's on Trust
Her Radio, It's like there's big stories of the day.
They're like, no, we're gonna talk about her, We're going
to talk about have some guy on talk about a zoo. Yeah,
it's it's play the hits is as old an expression
right as there is in all of the media, and
it comes down to FM radio. And I don't know
(13:50):
why Blink didn't play the hits the hits and.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
They did play some, but it was just like you
definitely missed on on some big ones.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That we were waiting.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Which one did they miss on?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Well, my favorite which maybe not might not be a hit,
but dysentery Gary. Dysentery Gary, that is my absolute favorite.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Centeria's Yeah, you don't ever get.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
That's where they have to stick a vacuum up.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Your basically when you perpetual diarrhea.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
See, yeah, that's not it.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The only reason we all know that, Mancy is we
are twice your age, and I guarantee that Jay Stu
is nod in his head is because there was a
video game we got to play in school called Oregon Trail,
and half the time you would die from dysentery. And
then you ask teacher, what's dysentery, They're like, diarrhea, he
died from diary, you.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Die dehydration and yes, oh yeah that's an amba.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I hate that too.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Yes, it's no fun.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, dysentery Gary. I don't think that's an old one.
So that's the one they didn't play. That's got you.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No, no, no, no, no, no. That was that was
for me and I've seen them before and they played it.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
But Adam Song, they didn't do Adam Song. They didn't
do going Away to College. Uh, they didn't do like
first Date from the other album.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Uh they anthem, No.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
They did not do Anthem. They did they really did
focus on the new album. And then you know how
they which means right right, and they don't do an intermission.
It was ninety minutes NonStop. They also did songs from
when they split up, and they like had their.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Own songs, so it was just like I like you
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Enjoying it the headline.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
They had an opening, but I didn't go to that,
but they did.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Have to I understand. So they were the headliner.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
They were the headliners. Yes, nobody after them, No, they
were not nobody. They did do an encore song from
their new album.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Album. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I thought it was going to come in at the
end and all.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, you either start with all the small things.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Or it did not end with all the small things.
Trust me, work sucks. I know.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That also comes to not just the band, but also
there are people that you hire that put together your
set list. Yes, yes, and whoever did that, you should
lose your job.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
And I just saw them like a year ago at
Bemo Stadium and it was all the hits. But this
was like advertised as their new album tour.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But still that's great. You play two of them in
the middle, everybody gets to get some beer for a
little bit of their friends looks at their cell phone
and they get back to playing the songs. As you heard.
That's bad. Yeah, that's bad. I would say I'm sun
you hate for the weekend.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I wouldn't say I'm you know, full of ranker over this,
but it is a bad look. It's absurd. I read
over the weekend that justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods are
opening up a saloon in Scotland. In light of everything
that's happened recently, it's kind of a bad look. That
would be not really that much of a hate, but
(16:55):
don't you guys agree it's kind of ridiculous to be
opening up a saloon. I know it's been in the works,
can't really change the dates and when you tell people,
but you're opening your Tiger Woods, you're justin Timberlake. You're
opening up a alcohol serving establishment in another country which
is known for its drunkenness. So, uh, I don't know.
It's kind of kind of eh, kind of a bad look.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's not the best look. No, I don't know. I
hate it, but it's not the best look.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
Bad optics kind of mid Yeah, okay, what about you,
Jase too?
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I saw this tweet, and I sent it to tomatsy
More because I wanted her to try to tell me
what it is. It's it's kind of I must be
in like new new age language. So somebody tweeted out
a picture of Angel Reese and the caption for Angel
(17:55):
Reese was I think it was something along the ones
of what exactly did it say? But anyways, it really
kind of bothered me, and I need an interpretation.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You sent it to me?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
What was up?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You sent me something?
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Yeah, I sent you. I sent you a screenshot of
the of the tweet.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Oh oh oh, what does it mean?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Give him the blues that one?
Speaker 7 (18:24):
No, it's uh, it's like he tweeted out the picture
of Angel Reaves and said, I didn't even tell her
she could wear that.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yes, Mama, so fine.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I didn't even tell her she could wear that. What
does that mean?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
It means it means that there they think that they.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Are in some sort of relationship with Angel Rees.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Or that they yeah, you know, some people can dream,
some people you know dream and uh.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
You know.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
But but I mean is the is the insinuation that
there's a power dynamic and that I could tell you
what you wear? The house?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
It seems that way. It sure does seem that way.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I hate that tweet. I could assume it that's what
I hated. Doug.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh, okay, why don't you a chance to say what
I hated? Man, I'll tell you what I hated is
uh and and this is a little thing. It's the
just Summer League was so bad. It was absolutely awful.
I mean, we're just such a build up to it,
(19:28):
such an excitement to it, and you're just like, oh, yeah,
YoY yeah yoey. And they've done this thing with the
with the new Summer League where they played it in
San Francisco. They're playing in these big arenas and it's like, why,
what's the point? Just no crowd, no buzz, no energy,
not great basketball. I just I'm excited for Summer League
(19:50):
in Vegas that usually has really good injuries, especially night sessions,
especially when the Lakers play, that's gonna be great. This
weekend was not a good representation of it. And that's
eleven eight.

Speaker 11 (20:54):
Since twenty twenty, as the team has its ups and downs,
we've had some private conversation. I'll just how much winning
still matters to you?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
You know you have all the accolades we talked about
the stuff you've been able to earn through this game,
but you still.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Want to win?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Can you do it here with the Lakers between now
the end of your career? Can it happen again? Of course?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Of course?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
What gives you that confidence because we've done it before.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
We still have two guys who committed every single day
and myself an eighty. We commit to excellency, commit to whims.
We're not that far off. You know, we were one
year removed from the Western Conference.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Finally this past year didn't go as well as we
will like, but we're not that far off.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And there's so many teams in the league, you know,
so many great teams in the league, in the Western Conference,
in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
But we don't see that we are that far off.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Anyways, Eric, what do you think of his response?
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Well, I mean, well, you know he's not going to
say we have no shot, right, Like that's not going
to come out of this stuff. But the reality is
is like he's not wrong too, Like I would say that,
like the margins between the worst and the best teams
in the league aren't as wide as as perceived. I mean,
just a minute ago, the thunder were just up and comer,
(22:04):
and then they suddenly had the best record in the
West or tied for the best record. You look at
the Lakers and you say, yeah, they didn't do anything
this summer so far. I mean, added Brownie James got
a nice kid in the draft that fell to them
at seventeen. But it's the same roster basically, back minus
a few players they didn't bring back. So what didn't
work last year is it suddenly fixed now because you
(22:28):
have a different coach. Maybe JJ Reddick is going to
scheme them to a better approach to Denver, and Denver
lost KCP Kntavio's Calledopope to the magic. So their biggest
obstacle is the Denver Nuggets. That's the one team that
they haven't been able to beat. That actually, technically Sacramento
the other team they haven't been able to beat, But
(22:48):
that's a different story. If from a point of view,
he's not wrong. I don't put them as a favorite.
I don't think they are better. But I get what
he's saying. And of course he's not going to sit
there and say, oh, we're stuck, we're tanked where you know,
we're not getting anywhere and I just took the money
and got my son on the team and that's it.
Of course he's not going to say that.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, but that's how people see it. Sure, Yeah, yeah,
I mean, I I you know, it's it's really interesting.
Why do you think Clay Thompson turned him down?
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Well, I mean, they're they're not in a I mean,
you have a team that just run to the finals,
and he joined them, And I could see why he
might have wanted to come in LA. He's got history there,
his father obviously played for the team. But uh, on paper,
(23:40):
I don't know that he makes the Lakers better anyway.
I didn't like the entire idea to be frank of
Klay Thompson to the Lakers. I thought that made them worse.
And I love Clay as a historic player, and I
think he'll be better on Dallas because they won't need
him to do as much. I don't think the Lakers
probably does he guard Jokich, Does he guard Jamal Murray? No,
(24:03):
they have someone who can shoot who can't really defend
that well right now in D'Angelo Russell. Right, So what
is it that you gained from? If anything, I thought
Clay saved the Lakers from themselves because I thought that
was the wrong guy to go Chase. I mean, they
need athletes. You need athletes on a team with Lebron,
who is not as fast as he used to be,
(24:23):
line the line, straight line, head of steam, he runs
still with more force than almost anybody in the league,
maybe anybody teeriated in the league. You don't get in
front of Lebron when he's got a full head of steam.
But he's kind of like an old diesel vehicle that
takes a little longer. You got to slam the pedal
down just to get up to speed. Once you're up
to speed, you're flying. But he's especially slow footed on defense.
(24:47):
And then a d is certainly mobile as the center.
But Austin and D'Angelo, if those are your players, If
d'angelo's out to get at clay, then you know, how
do you replace, et cetera. The question becomes, you know,
how do you get enough speed and athleticism on that
(25:08):
roster so that you can defend? And you have to
have enough shooting. But you know, Lebron talked about winning
in twenty twenty. The Lakers were like objectively a bad
shooting team the year that they won. They've almost always
been relatively average to bad shooting teams. They've been better
this last year in part because they've gone they went
a little more offensive heavy with D'Angelo in Austin, and
(25:30):
that's fine, but you need to be able to offset
that with defense. So adding yet another shooter who doesn't
who can't defend off of injury Clay and as they
could defend, but not not this Kellt Clay. So I
don't think it's bad that you turn them down. I
actually think that's a good thing for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Okay, I don't think enough people have talked about the Nuggets,
like the Clent KCP walk a little bit and they
weren't the same after losing Bruce Brown. What do we
do with the Nugget? It's now moving forward.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
Well, they sort of built their team around the idea
that it would work, and it did and congrats and
they got a championship, which is absolutely amazing for the city.
But it was sort of unsustainable to an extent, starting
with Bruce Brown then getting into KCP with the option
(26:25):
which he turned down to take more. He's getting a
lot more money that Denver was willing to do. It's
not a huge market, but we're even seeing, if you say,
Golden State has one of the biggest budgets in the league.
They let Clay go for a reason, They let Chris
Paul go for a reason. The new rules as such
really are limiting, and so you have to be careful
how you construct your team when you're at that top
(26:49):
tier and you're really going for it, which is great.
It has to be long term sustainable, which is why
for Boston they're in a great spot because they have
all their pieces, everyone's locked in, they're all still young.
This is a bit of an injury risk, but they
showed they can basically went without him, whereas Denver, it's
like those two guys, and you know, Michael Porter Junior
has a questionable medical history that you know, how sustainable
(27:12):
is he. Jamal has been banged up quite a bit,
and now you're losing depth and losing more depth, and
so they need their kids to hit. They need to
be incredible at scouting and have some of their young guys.
You know, they had production from Christian Brown. Obviously they
just didn't have enough this last year, but some of
that was just exhaustion from playing so deep. It's hard
(27:33):
for teams to go back to back. It's why like
the Spurs never seem to They never want them back
to back because those two in a rows are really
really hard. But I do think they're weaker, and I'm
not so. I like the West, but I think Dallas
is vulnerable. I think they're very talented. I think Minnesota
is vulnerable they're very talented. Oklahoma City now they look
(27:54):
pretty dang good. So that's the team to keep an
eye on.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, really really really good. What are your thoughts on
on Bronnie Will you've seen him now through one Summer
league game.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Well, you know, I'll say this about Bronnie like he's
a he's young and inexperienced. Like any player who's drafted
around fifty five, you don't expect them to be impact
players initially. They're probably guys who spend most of the
year developing in the G League. Maxwell Lewis, who the
Lakers took last year in the second round and he
was play forties or something like that, didn't look like
(28:30):
much last year, and you know that first game he
looked a lot better, you know, after a year in
the system. So Bronnie's going to need some time. I
will say what he does well immediately is I think
he can defend to an extent at the point guard
position and a little bit at the two guard position.
There are some size issues where he's only six he's
(28:51):
not even six to two really, but like in Shooes,
he's six too. But and he's super athletic. I just
I think he fights well. I think he understands the
concepts well. But on offense he's extremely passive. You just
forget that he's on the floor. And that's okay, especially
for a rookie. But if he's somebody who intends to
(29:11):
be a rotation player and eventually rotation player on a
playoff team, you can't just be a defender. You have
to be able to offer something on offense. So he
needs to really find a way to develop that catch
and shoot from the corner or some other role, maybe
as a secondary playmaker. I don't know. He has a
long way to go. But again he's the fifty fifth pick.
It's just I'll say this about Brownie. What he's going
(29:33):
to get from the from the nepotism side, which you know,
it's reality and the NBA is filled with nepotism. This
is not new. What he'll get at fifty five in
the draft is he'll get a longer run to establish himself.
So a fifty fifth pick is normally disposable. You maybe
put him on a two way. They get one or
two years on a two way. If they develop, maybe
(29:55):
they make the roster. Most of them don't. Most of
them don't last they'll have more of a opportunity to develop.
So he's more likely to succeed than somebody else who
just wouldn't get the same chance. And that's fine. He
still has to put in the work, he still has
to develop, he's still to stay healthy, still has to blossom,
but he'll always have a little bit of extra opportunity,
(30:17):
which is you know, the nature of life and the game.
And I don't begrudge it. I know there's a lot
of people who are you know, just want to hate
on it, and that's fine. You know, people gonna do
what they're going to do. But I do think you know,
I talked to a lot of teams. Almost all of
them had brawny at least in the top hundred or
top seventy five in this draft class. So he is
(30:38):
a real NBA prospect. See somebody that if you ignored,
you were ignoring him because of his name, not because
of his play. And if you look at what he
did in college in terms of stats, kit came off
of you know, pretty serious heart incidents. So I don't
go by his.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Numbers, but he is no But would you would it
be fair to say that most people that come off
a pretty say if you get a heart issue, don't
get draft because that hard isshoot regards of other stats.
Now they played, Yeah, a.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Kid like that would normally go back to school for
a second year. That would be the normal path for
somebody who went to that And that's fine. So you know,
this is not a normal situation. We can't pretend it's normal.
We can't say that this is. But fifty five is
a disposable, relatively disposable asset for an NBA team, right
like most fifty fives you use.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Are no, I get it, you do, you don't give
a You know the rules everyone, everyone.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
The new rules are is that you give out a
second round pick. Use the second round pick exception. So
it's either going to be a three or a four
year deal. The four year deal is more team favorable
than player favorable. If you're a team, you want a
four year deal. If you're a player, you want three.
So the argument that they gave him a four year
deal is crazy is actually not crazy. It's actually, under
(31:52):
the new rules, absolutely normal. So he got a little
bit more guaranteed than some he got less guaranteed than others.
He didn't get any extra in the first year, which
he could have gotten up to nine hundred thousand more
in the first year, could have gotten extra a couple
hundred or so in the second year, didn't, So he's
getting the minimum he can get on that contract. He
(32:12):
has a little bit more guaranteed than maybe someone would
normally get at fifty five, but it's not egregiously.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
So Eric, great stuff. You can check out Eric's work

Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
As Doug Gotlip Show Fox Sports Radio. Welcome in Hope,
you're having a great day. Doug Gottlieb Show broadcast live
from the Tyret dot com studios. And remember, shortly after
the show podcast to be going up. Plus, we have
a special podcast out if you missed any of today's show,
check it out of the podcast. Just searched Doug Golli
where you get your podcasts and also follow, rate Review, subscribe, whatever. Again,
(33:11):
just search Doug Gottlie wherever your podcast and you'll see
today's show posted right after we get up the air.
Let's get to the press, the press month Cibe. What
do you have all.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Right, Doug, Let's start here in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Coming on the heels of Klay Thompson's departure from Golden
State now headed to Dallas to play with the Mavericks,
Steph Curry sat down with ESPN and he basically says
that he doesn't think there will be another dynasty like
what the Golden State Warriors had.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Now.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
He does say that obviously defining a dynasty can be
looked at in different ways, but what they've done, he
doesn't think it's going to be replicated, especially just because
of how things are going on in the league and
how people are constantly like on the move. And here's
a little bit more of what he had to say.
Speaker 12 (33:56):
We talked about it a lot, just in the sense
of the journey that we've been on obviously me since
nine Clay's twenty eleven draft Draymond and then when coach
came in twenty fourteen and what's happened since. We would
have loved to maintain, you know, the core and finish
out together, but we obviously understand the league and things change,
(34:18):
and you know, having Clay Head on the Dallas it's tough.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It's something that.
Speaker 12 (34:23):
I never imagine will be a reality. But you know,
you want him to be happy, You want him to
be able to enjoy at the game of basketball. It
does suck, and losing Clay there's no two ways around it.
So you have to be able to celebrate what we accomplished,
but then be able to move on.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
What do you think will there be another dynasty or
are the Warriors maybe the last one?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I mean, why would it be the last dynasty. I
don't understand that because there's so much movement. Celtics just
the Celtics have locked up their two stars for it
feels like eternity, and I do think your ability to
resign at least two stars is better than it's been.
I think Oklahoma City has got a chance if they
can get over the hump, maybe add one more perimeter
(35:06):
score like a guy create shots that they're gonna be
good for a long time. Yeah. I mean, we've had
dynasties in every different decade, so I don't see why
we wouldn't have another one. Do I think there'll be
one like the Warriors? Probably not. It's very unique one, yeah,
but I definitely think there will be others. And the
(35:29):
other part too. It is like, I don't know, it's
hard to call it a dynasty. Just when you know
they the to the middle two championships, they went and
got right Kevin Duran totally.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I agree with you on that as well. I know, yes, on.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
The other hand, they won too without them, so there's
something to that. Yeah, They'll They'll be another. There always is.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
There always is, all right.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
So Paul George has said a lot lately on his podcast.
You were talked on your show that you know about
him and the Clippers not coming to an agreement because
he wanted to know a.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Trade close extension. This is what he said to Clipper fans,
and I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
I appreciate the fans here while I was in LA,
one of the best fan bases, like it says a lot.
When you have such a historic team like the Lakers
who have won multiple titles, and you still a Clippers fan.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
It's bittersweet, you know.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
And you know, I don't know what reception I get
coming back, but you know, I do want to say
I appreciate playing in front of the home crowd.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Oh, Paul George, are you serious?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
What don't you like?
Speaker 5 (36:33):
I don't like that? He Why bring up the Lakers
at all in that comment? So have to be a
Clipper fan? Why even mention the Lakers?
Speaker 10 (36:40):
Like?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
I feel like you said too much and saying less
is more in this situation, maybe just because.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
I'm a Clipper, but you're like, you're the worst bitter
Clipper fan. Yes, let me just tell you what the
rest of us think.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Okay, please tell me that wasn't a backing.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Why would you be a Clipper fan?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
I mean, okay, why? Many reasons?
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Whether it was going to games because they were affordable
and you could have go to a Laker game.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That's why I used to do when I was a kid,
no question.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah, or just not knowing my family moved from Costa Rica.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
I don't think they knew that the Lakers ran it
down and they were like, Okay, we're gonna be Clipper fans.
That's all I've ever known.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
All that is good and fine, it's hot. Would you
say it's hard to be a Clipper fan considering the
Lakers suck up all the oxygen even though they haven't
been much better except for one year in the last ten.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
To be honest, I know I like being a Clipper fan.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I understand, But for most people, I just I think
you're being offended.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
To be offended, maybe I am.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
I think I'm with monster here, Doug, Like, wouldn't it
be like saying, like, man, Patrick Mahomes, he's a well guy.
Of all the women he's had a chance at since
meeting Brittany, he's stuck with Brittany. It's a total backhanded compliment.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Right, people say that about Patrick Mahomes, about her about
Patrick Way? Yes, yes, they just let's get the next door.
I want to a couple more stories.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Go Yes, yes, Okay.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
So Marcelo Zuna is the latest player to join the
MLB home run Derby. So we have Bobby wid Junior,
Alec Baum. We also have Pete Alonso and we have
Gunner Henderson.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Are you excited. No, good, excellent. Elie de la Cruz.
I'm gonna see if I can play this. Elie de
la Cruz.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Was asked about his first All Star Game and who's
excited to.
Speaker 8 (38:22):
Meet learning japan to Joy.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Really, I don't know if.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
He's trying to. I'm Japanese, so you can talk to
show Donnie.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Is he like legit, like he had that great start
to his career last year. Yes, and then he's got
forty three stolen bases? But is he really an All Star?
I guess yes.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I think he's one of the he's just sometimes.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
The first second last year, Oh my gosh, so bad.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Yeah, but no, he's definitely part of the excitement for
the Reds.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Totally okay, And that is the press.
Speaker 8 (39:08):
You get out there and pressed.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
That was the press, So you don't bring up the Lakers.
I think I like the podcast download it's available now,

(00:43):
I mean, I promise you closer and like, can you
feel it? I just I'm I'm really really excited and
look I just again, as many of you know who
listen to the show, I'm the new head coach at
Green Bay, which does give me. I don't have like
complete access to the packers whatever, but I I've never
been a packer game I get to go this year,
and I think they're gonna have an exciting season. More
(01:04):
than that, you know, I'm guessing we're gonna come back
and do Chargers Camp and Rams camp as well as
do Packers camp as well. But just the idea of
football feels like, you know, with all the changes in
college football, I'm excited for that we finally have a playoff.
I don't love the conference expansion, but it is what
it is. It does give us unbelievable matchups, and I
(01:27):
think there's a far less the fear of playing somebody
in the non conference is lessened on some level because
everybody's gonna lose a couple games. I mean, no one's
going on to feeding this thing. But football season is
right around the corner and a summer league season is here.
But we've definitely hit the dog days a little bit.
(01:47):
I'm sure you had a long weekend. We did, Jason
and I. We worked Thursday and Friday, although Jay, you
took Thursday off. Friday, we did, Dan Patrick Montsey. I
know you worked all weekend long. I saw I listened
to your stuff and I saw it pumping up on
the gram as well. And with that, let's get to
what we loved from the weekend, What we hated from
the weekend. Something we call love and hate.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
What did you love?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
God?
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
These play hay is ah love love love love. Love
is in the air. Love is in the air. Let's
start with you, mon see something you love sports wise
nonsports wise in the weekend?
Speaker 5 (02:32):
All right, I love and I a little bit hated,
but I actually love because it's my dad. You know,
some people just have like really good luck, like just
for some reason, just luck is constantly on their side.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
My dad might be listening.
Speaker 5 (02:45):
My dad, like a week ago, decided to go probably
like Pachanga casino as a couple of friends, came back
with with a couple thousands in his pocket. Okay, And
then yesterday he tells me that he bet a twenty
dollars four leg parlay on wa NBA players, completely guessing.
I saw who he selected, Angel Reese, Kennedy, Carner, Carter
(03:07):
nekka Ogumkay and Juel Lloyd and this guy hit and won.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Couple hundred bucks.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
And I'm just like, I love you, Dad, slightly hate
that all the luck is on you. I don't have
luck like this, like, I don't know why life is
not fair and this is one example of it. But
I love it because it's my dad. You see, I'm
very conflicted. Go Dad, go make more money. I'm very
jealous of your luck.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
So that the four leg parlay pays ten to one,
he bet twenty dollars.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Bet he bet, Yeah, he bet twenty and I think
he got like two hundred and two fifty or something
like that.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
But it's like he didn't know what he was picking.
He didn't know these.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Players he's and then the players he selected are good,
you know players. I was like, yeah, okay, but they
all hit and he was like yeah, so I guess
I'm gonna start watching WNBA.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I was like, well, there you go. Look at that.
Speaker 7 (03:57):
And how did he make his bank roll at Pachanga?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
The swaths slots he loves slots, and his friends like
left him there, like his friends left and he sat
down for like a couple more minutes and then hit
like how unfair, God, Dad, love you.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Awesome.
Speaker 8 (04:14):
Iowa, Sam, gotta go with the low hanging fruit here.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
I know I left it for you, and you.
Speaker 8 (04:21):
Guys know where I'm going here. Penalty kicks. I love
penalty kicks, guys, because you're watching these international soccer matches,
whether it's Copa or it's the Euro Championships, A lot
of time there's just not a lot of scoring. You know,
you get to a zero zero draw or a one
nothing one one. You really boil the drama of football,
(04:43):
of soccer. You boil it down into its greatest drama
with penalty kicks, and it is so good. The drama
is so good it has changed my music up there.
The drama is so good. Penalty kicks you're finally getting
that goal scoring that you've been craving the whole game.
And yeah, it's just mono amano and it's just like
(05:03):
face to face and I love, I love some of
the penalty kick sessions of this This weekends on soccer matches.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
So the are you talking about the penalty kicks to
decide these games? Yes? Yeah, isn't that the doug? Is
that not consider the worst way to desclide a game?
You have the worst you have these countries, Why train
for hours and hours and it comes down and they can't.
Speaker 8 (05:25):
Get the ball in the goal. So then they got
to go to penalty kicks where it's like you got
just the meat, that's nothing but meat. Oh, but it's
such good drama. It's such good drama.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
It is good drama, and.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I just I think, I think you're mistaken. This is
like the college football playoff rules, where you mistaken good
drama for good sports. You know, it's just well, I
can love it. The white flag, like we couldn't decide it,
so you guys penally shoot it out.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
Well, it it comes down like you're seeing these goalies
make a stand too. So it's it's not just a
given for the kicker.
Speaker 7 (06:02):
Are they really making a center? Are they're just guessing?
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Right, guessing?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
I know, But it's awesome. But it's awesome they.
Speaker 8 (06:08):
The anticipation and the way this analytics. It's it's just
so good. It's the raw.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
It's not so it is not so good. Well it's
there's a lot of drama. It's not so good. But
then listen, you're allowed to love it.
Speaker 8 (06:22):
I allowed to love it, and I do love it.
I just don't like it.
Speaker 7 (06:25):
That's so much of a departure from the rest of
the athletic event, Like correct.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
It is playing on this gigantic pitch. Sorry, why did
I say, pitch, it's not a field, Like, let's not.
We don't call it a lift for an elevator, we
call it a we call it an elevator. So we
don't call it a pitch. We called a field playing
this gigantic field, and yet while we're going to condense
it into one, like, well, then they kick to decide
who wins it.
Speaker 8 (06:49):
Then they they they're not doing enough of getting the
ball into the goal. There's all this running around.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
To keep playing, keep playing for goal.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Well it's that monsie sudden death instead of this golden goalie.
Golden goal.
Speaker 8 (07:06):
I like penalty kicks, and I loved them over the weekend.
Speaker 7 (07:07):
They're great. How about take out the goalie? Like, if
you really want to be gimmicky, just be like, all right, overtime,
no goalies, good luck.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Guys, kind of like that one.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
I mean, it's just as gimmicky and lame.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Well we do that in college football, like, hey, I
know it's on New York field. Let's just play last
twenty five. Oh and then after in second overtime you
got to go for two. It's like if if in
basketball they said like, hey, listen, overtime, we're gonna just
play half court and then double overtime. You can only
shoot threes.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
It's crazy because you know it ties stink, all right.
You need a winner and a loser. So we got
to sell it somehow.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Uh okay, Jason Stewart, something you love from the weekend.
Speaker 7 (07:48):
So Monzi, she got me tickets to Friday night's Dodger game.
Thank you very much for that.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Good teams they went the they went terrible.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
I do not look at gift horse in the mouth.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Hold on, I do, I do, I know, I do,
I listen. I love you guys, but if you give
me bad seats, I just I'm not going to use it. Sets.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
No, you told us your you two story. You went
and saw you too, and you're like, I'm gonna have
to go back and see it again because my free
tickets were not good enough. That's what you said to us.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Okay, so you two, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, those weren't
free tickets, but they weren't great seats.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
But anyways, I got to see something I've never seen
in person in my entire life. So I've been going
to games since I was what four or five years old.
That's a lot of games I've never seen a person
hit three home runs in a game. Yeah, and Will Smith,
our catcher, hit three home runs in a game. It's
really hard for some of them by age to be
like I just went to a sporting and event and
(08:52):
saw something I've never seen before and I did it
and the Dodgers won and Christina was very happy. That
was the most important part and it was a great night.
So thank you, Monsi Bonsa, You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It wasn't it Awy's birthday?
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Whose birthday?
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Taws that night?
Speaker 5 (09:07):
Oh, I think it was his birthday and he didn't
have like a great game, but Will Smith.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
At three, So I was like, oh, he did it
for his birthday.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
Good night, good night. Yep.
Speaker 9 (09:17):
July fifth, Oh all right, so my love loved just
this weekend, I went to Summerfest, which is apparently the
biggest concert series in the world.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Is that right, biggest concert series in the world. I'm
gonna go with it because I was told that I
have not checked that and saw Maroon five, and Maroon
five is one of those bands where you're like, I
don't know anybody who doesn't like Roon five. I could
be wrong, you guys. I'm Jason probably doesn't like him.
Do you not like him to you despise them?
Speaker 7 (09:47):
No, they have they have like a large catalog of music,
so inevitably I like two or three.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Songs, Sure, that's fair, Like you like everyone likes two
or three to ten of their songs, right, And he
falls somewhere in the middle, you know. And you know
Adam Levine from the voice he's crazy talented, right because
he like he does pick up the guitar and he
can clearly play it. But it feels like, hey, I'm
just going to show off for a minute, and it
has nothing to do with the actual song being played,
and we have regular guitarists. But nonetheless it's a great show.
(10:15):
It was a great show. And I started to realize
something that all of those kind of mid size city,
downtown outdoor concert venues are exactly like like I went
to the one in Hartford for I don't know, twenty shows,
and the one in Milwaukee, I think it's American Family
Insurance something or other. I shout out to the groupers
(10:40):
David and Steven who got us some tickets. Good seats,
by the way, right, good seats, not like ridiculous seats,
not like I could see I could read Adam's tattoos,
but plenty good enough anyway. I just it was awesome.
And then that was on the fifth. On the fourth,
I sat out in the back of my house and
(11:00):
Green Bay, which is part of Lake Michigan. When I
tell you, I think there were fifty fireworks shows of
some some form that I could see. It was like
fifty and I just it was great, very great, peaceful weekend.
A little bit of baseball on TV, a little bit
of soccer on TV, a little bit of no TV
on TV. I enjoyed that a lot of it.
Speaker 7 (11:18):
Question about Maroon five, Yes, so my favorite song by
Maroon five is what Lovers Do? Yeah, here's the key though.
The key to that song is that's featured uh with Sizza.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I was just about to say, because yeah, I like
siss as well.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Was she there?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
She was not, But but they did have the the
other song with Carti as well with Cardi By they
piped it in and.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
Oh they pipe in the vocals. I don't know if
I like that. I don't know if I like some
random woman to do it.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
You know, Sizza was there like the week before, so
she couldn't be there for that one. I think so
it's good show. All right, let's get to the other side.
Let's get to what we hated. Okay, let's let's go
(12:12):
back saying what we started. Monzie, let me hate it
form the Weekend, all right.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
So this is I hate this, and it's happened at
other concerts. I went to Blank twenty eighty two on Saturday.
It was at Sofi Stadium. And my problem is when
you go see like a like a band or a
group that has been around for a really long time,
even if you have a new album, I need you
to play the hits. I need you to play Adam's song.
(12:36):
I need you to play What's My Age again? I
need you to do those songs, even though this is
a tour of your new album that you released in October.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I get it.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
But they missed out on so many what I like
hits from you know why you have these fans because
I don't think Blank twent eighty two is getting new fans.
Next to me, I have this like fourteen year old
girl that was there with her parents. She looked bored,
her parents looked excited. So it's like, I need you
to play the hits.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
I get it. This is a new album, but played
the hits, played the hits. I hate that.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
So they actually went the entire concert without playing like
their top five songs.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
They did, but they didn't play those.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
I don't know if they switch them around, like what
hits they play depending on the city.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
I don't know. I didn't look at that, but they
did not play those at so far.
Speaker 7 (13:23):
No, that's a big part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yes, why wouldn't they play Why would they not do that?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I don't know, Like I was so, you know, that's like.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's like Dan Levittari Show back when it's on Trust
Her Radio, It's like there's big stories of the day.
They're like, no, we're gonna talk about her, We're going
to talk about have some guy on talk about a zoo. Yeah,
it's it's play the hits is as old an expression
right as there is in all of the media, and
it comes down to FM radio. And I don't know
(13:50):
why Blink didn't play the hits the hits and.
Speaker 5 (13:53):
They did play some, but it was just like you
definitely missed on on some big ones.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
That we were waiting.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Which one did they miss on?
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Well, my favorite which maybe not might not be a hit,
but dysentery Gary. Dysentery Gary, that is my absolute favorite.
Speaker 9 (14:07):
Centeria's Yeah, you don't ever get.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
That's where they have to stick a vacuum up.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Your basically when you perpetual diarrhea.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
See, yeah, that's not it.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
The only reason we all know that, Mancy is we
are twice your age, and I guarantee that Jay Stu
is nod in his head is because there was a
video game we got to play in school called Oregon Trail,
and half the time you would die from dysentery. And
then you ask teacher, what's dysentery, They're like, diarrhea, he
died from diary, you.
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Die dehydration and yes, oh yeah that's an amba.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I hate that too.
Speaker 8 (14:46):
Yes, it's no fun.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Yeah, dysentery Gary. I don't think that's an old one.
So that's the one they didn't play. That's got you.
Speaker 4 (14:53):
No, no, no, no, no, no. That was that was
for me and I've seen them before and they played it.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
But Adam Song, they didn't do Adam Song. They didn't
do going Away to College. Uh, they didn't do like
first Date from the other album.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Uh they anthem, No.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
They did not do Anthem. They did they really did
focus on the new album. And then you know how
they which means right right, and they don't do an intermission.
It was ninety minutes NonStop. They also did songs from
when they split up, and they like had their.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Own songs, so it was just like I like you
and I'm.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Enjoying it the headline.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
They had an opening, but I didn't go to that,
but they did.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Have to I understand. So they were the headliner.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
They were the headliners. Yes, nobody after them, No, they
were not nobody. They did do an encore song from
their new album.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Album. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
I thought it was going to come in at the
end and all.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah, you either start with all the small things.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
Or it did not end with all the small things.
Trust me, work sucks. I know.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That also comes to not just the band, but also
there are people that you hire that put together your
set list. Yes, yes, and whoever did that, you should
lose your job.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
And I just saw them like a year ago at
Bemo Stadium and it was all the hits. But this
was like advertised as their new album tour.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But still that's great. You play two of them in
the middle, everybody gets to get some beer for a
little bit of their friends looks at their cell phone
and they get back to playing the songs. As you heard.
That's bad. Yeah, that's bad. I would say I'm sun
you hate for the weekend.
Speaker 8 (16:34):
I wouldn't say I'm you know, full of ranker over this,
but it is a bad look. It's absurd. I read
over the weekend that justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods are
opening up a saloon in Scotland. In light of everything
that's happened recently, it's kind of a bad look. That
would be not really that much of a hate, but
(16:55):
don't you guys agree it's kind of ridiculous to be
opening up a saloon. I know it's been in the works,
can't really change the dates and when you tell people,
but you're opening your Tiger Woods, you're justin Timberlake. You're
opening up a alcohol serving establishment in another country which
is known for its drunkenness. So, uh, I don't know.
It's kind of kind of eh, kind of a bad look.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
It's not the best look. No, I don't know. I
hate it, but it's not the best look.
Speaker 8 (17:19):
Bad optics kind of mid Yeah, okay, what about you,
Jase too?
Speaker 7 (17:30):
I saw this tweet, and I sent it to tomatsy
More because I wanted her to try to tell me
what it is. It's it's kind of I must be
in like new new age language. So somebody tweeted out
a picture of Angel Reese and the caption for Angel
(17:55):
Reese was I think it was something along the ones
of what exactly did it say? But anyways, it really
kind of bothered me, and I need an interpretation.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
You sent it to me?
Speaker 7 (18:08):
What was up?
Speaker 4 (18:09):
You sent me something?
Speaker 7 (18:10):
Yeah, I sent you. I sent you a screenshot of
the of the tweet.
Speaker 8 (18:15):
Oh oh oh, what does it mean?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Give him the blues that one?
Speaker 7 (18:24):
No, it's uh, it's like he tweeted out the picture
of Angel Reaves and said, I didn't even tell her
she could wear that.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Yes, Mama, so fine.
Speaker 7 (18:36):
I didn't even tell her she could wear that. What
does that mean?
Speaker 5 (18:38):
It means it means that there they think that they.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Are in some sort of relationship with Angel Rees.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Or that they yeah, you know, some people can dream,
some people you know dream and uh.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
You know.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
But but I mean is the is the insinuation that
there's a power dynamic and that I could tell you
what you wear? The house?
Speaker 4 (19:00):
It seems that way. It sure does seem that way.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
I hate that tweet. I could assume it that's what
I hated. Doug.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh, okay, why don't you a chance to say what
I hated? Man, I'll tell you what I hated is
uh and and this is a little thing. It's the
just Summer League was so bad. It was absolutely awful.
I mean, we're just such a build up to it,
(19:28):
such an excitement to it, and you're just like, oh, yeah,
YoY yeah yoey. And they've done this thing with the
with the new Summer League where they played it in
San Francisco. They're playing in these big arenas and it's like, why,
what's the point? Just no crowd, no buzz, no energy,
not great basketball. I just I'm excited for Summer League
(19:50):
in Vegas that usually has really good injuries, especially night sessions,
especially when the Lakers play, that's gonna be great. This
weekend was not a good representation of it. And that's
eleven eight.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Doug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio coming to here from
the Tyret dot com studios. So Lebron James didna sit
down with the ESPN. We'll play some of that for
you in a moment. First, though, let me get you
a quick update from Monsey belangyas before. Eric Pinkis joins us. Monsei,
(20:38):
What's what's new in sports?
Speaker 10 (20:40):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
I'm sorry, monster, not ready. Let's let's get you Eric
pinkas national NBA writer for Bleacher Reporting. Let me Eric,
let me play for you. This is Lebron James and
what he said in regards to whether that the Lakers
can win another championship.
Speaker 11 (20:54):
Since twenty twenty, as the team has its ups and downs,
we've had some private conversation. I'll just how much winning
still matters to you?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
You know you have all the accolades we talked about
the stuff you've been able to earn through this game,
but you still.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Want to win?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Can you do it here with the Lakers between now
the end of your career? Can it happen again? Of course?
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Of course?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
What gives you that confidence because we've done it before.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
We still have two guys who committed every single day
and myself an eighty. We commit to excellency, commit to whims.
We're not that far off. You know, we were one
year removed from the Western Conference.
Speaker 6 (21:27):
Finally this past year didn't go as well as we
will like, but we're not that far off.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
And there's so many teams in the league, you know,
so many great teams in the league, in the Western Conference,
in the Eastern Conference.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
But we don't see that we are that far off.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Anyways, Eric, what do you think of his response?
Speaker 10 (21:43):
Well, I mean, well, you know he's not going to
say we have no shot, right, Like that's not going
to come out of this stuff. But the reality is
is like he's not wrong too, Like I would say that,
like the margins between the worst and the best teams
in the league aren't as wide as as perceived. I mean,
just a minute ago, the thunder were just up and comer,
(22:04):
and then they suddenly had the best record in the
West or tied for the best record. You look at
the Lakers and you say, yeah, they didn't do anything
this summer so far. I mean, added Brownie James got
a nice kid in the draft that fell to them
at seventeen. But it's the same roster basically, back minus
a few players they didn't bring back. So what didn't
work last year is it suddenly fixed now because you
(22:28):
have a different coach. Maybe JJ Reddick is going to
scheme them to a better approach to Denver, and Denver
lost KCP Kntavio's Calledopope to the magic. So their biggest
obstacle is the Denver Nuggets. That's the one team that
they haven't been able to beat. That actually, technically Sacramento
the other team they haven't been able to beat, But
(22:48):
that's a different story. If from a point of view,
he's not wrong. I don't put them as a favorite.
I don't think they are better. But I get what
he's saying. And of course he's not going to sit
there and say, oh, we're stuck, we're tanked where you know,
we're not getting anywhere and I just took the money
and got my son on the team and that's it.
Of course he's not going to say that.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, but that's how people see it. Sure, Yeah, yeah,
I mean, I I you know, it's it's really interesting.
Why do you think Clay Thompson turned him down?
Speaker 10 (23:19):
Well, I mean, they're they're not in a I mean,
you have a team that just run to the finals,
and he joined them, And I could see why he
might have wanted to come in LA. He's got history there,
his father obviously played for the team. But uh, on paper,
(23:40):
I don't know that he makes the Lakers better anyway.
I didn't like the entire idea to be frank of
Klay Thompson to the Lakers. I thought that made them worse.
And I love Clay as a historic player, and I
think he'll be better on Dallas because they won't need
him to do as much. I don't think the Lakers
probably does he guard Jokich, Does he guard Jamal Murray? No,
(24:03):
they have someone who can shoot who can't really defend
that well right now in D'Angelo Russell. Right, So what
is it that you gained from? If anything, I thought
Clay saved the Lakers from themselves because I thought that
was the wrong guy to go Chase. I mean, they
need athletes. You need athletes on a team with Lebron,
who is not as fast as he used to be,
(24:23):
line the line, straight line, head of steam, he runs
still with more force than almost anybody in the league,
maybe anybody teeriated in the league. You don't get in
front of Lebron when he's got a full head of steam.
But he's kind of like an old diesel vehicle that
takes a little longer. You got to slam the pedal
down just to get up to speed. Once you're up
to speed, you're flying. But he's especially slow footed on defense.
(24:47):
And then a d is certainly mobile as the center.
But Austin and D'Angelo, if those are your players, If
d'angelo's out to get at clay, then you know, how
do you replace, et cetera. The question becomes, you know,
how do you get enough speed and athleticism on that
(25:08):
roster so that you can defend? And you have to
have enough shooting. But you know, Lebron talked about winning
in twenty twenty. The Lakers were like objectively a bad
shooting team the year that they won. They've almost always
been relatively average to bad shooting teams. They've been better
this last year in part because they've gone they went
a little more offensive heavy with D'Angelo in Austin, and
(25:30):
that's fine, but you need to be able to offset
that with defense. So adding yet another shooter who doesn't
who can't defend off of injury Clay and as they
could defend, but not not this Kellt Clay. So I
don't think it's bad that you turn them down. I
actually think that's a good thing for the Lakers.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Okay, I don't think enough people have talked about the Nuggets,
like the Clent KCP walk a little bit and they
weren't the same after losing Bruce Brown. What do we
do with the Nugget? It's now moving forward.
Speaker 10 (26:02):
Well, they sort of built their team around the idea
that it would work, and it did and congrats and
they got a championship, which is absolutely amazing for the city.
But it was sort of unsustainable to an extent, starting
with Bruce Brown then getting into KCP with the option
(26:25):
which he turned down to take more. He's getting a
lot more money that Denver was willing to do. It's
not a huge market, but we're even seeing, if you say,
Golden State has one of the biggest budgets in the league.
They let Clay go for a reason, They let Chris
Paul go for a reason. The new rules as such
really are limiting, and so you have to be careful
how you construct your team when you're at that top
(26:49):
tier and you're really going for it, which is great.
It has to be long term sustainable, which is why
for Boston they're in a great spot because they have
all their pieces, everyone's locked in, they're all still young.
This is a bit of an injury risk, but they
showed they can basically went without him, whereas Denver, it's
like those two guys, and you know, Michael Porter Junior
has a questionable medical history that you know, how sustainable
(27:12):
is he. Jamal has been banged up quite a bit,
and now you're losing depth and losing more depth, and
so they need their kids to hit. They need to
be incredible at scouting and have some of their young guys.
You know, they had production from Christian Brown. Obviously they
just didn't have enough this last year, but some of
that was just exhaustion from playing so deep. It's hard
(27:33):
for teams to go back to back. It's why like
the Spurs never seem to They never want them back
to back because those two in a rows are really
really hard. But I do think they're weaker, and I'm
not so. I like the West, but I think Dallas
is vulnerable. I think they're very talented. I think Minnesota
is vulnerable they're very talented. Oklahoma City now they look
(27:54):
pretty dang good. So that's the team to keep an
eye on.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, really really really good. What are your thoughts on
on Bronnie Will you've seen him now through one Summer
league game.
Speaker 10 (28:08):
Well, you know, I'll say this about Bronnie like he's
a he's young and inexperienced. Like any player who's drafted
around fifty five, you don't expect them to be impact
players initially. They're probably guys who spend most of the
year developing in the G League. Maxwell Lewis, who the
Lakers took last year in the second round and he
was play forties or something like that, didn't look like
(28:30):
much last year, and you know that first game he
looked a lot better, you know, after a year in
the system. So Bronnie's going to need some time. I
will say what he does well immediately is I think
he can defend to an extent at the point guard
position and a little bit at the two guard position.
There are some size issues where he's only six he's
(28:51):
not even six to two really, but like in Shooes,
he's six too. But and he's super athletic. I just
I think he fights well. I think he understands the
concepts well. But on offense he's extremely passive. You just
forget that he's on the floor. And that's okay, especially
for a rookie. But if he's somebody who intends to
(29:11):
be a rotation player and eventually rotation player on a
playoff team, you can't just be a defender. You have
to be able to offer something on offense. So he
needs to really find a way to develop that catch
and shoot from the corner or some other role, maybe
as a secondary playmaker. I don't know. He has a
long way to go. But again he's the fifty fifth pick.
It's just I'll say this about Brownie. What he's going
(29:33):
to get from the from the nepotism side, which you know,
it's reality and the NBA is filled with nepotism. This
is not new. What he'll get at fifty five in
the draft is he'll get a longer run to establish himself.
So a fifty fifth pick is normally disposable. You maybe
put him on a two way. They get one or
two years on a two way. If they develop, maybe
(29:55):
they make the roster. Most of them don't. Most of
them don't last they'll have more of a opportunity to develop.
So he's more likely to succeed than somebody else who
just wouldn't get the same chance. And that's fine. He
still has to put in the work, he still has
to develop, he's still to stay healthy, still has to blossom,
but he'll always have a little bit of extra opportunity,
(30:17):
which is you know, the nature of life and the game.
And I don't begrudge it. I know there's a lot
of people who are you know, just want to hate
on it, and that's fine. You know, people gonna do
what they're going to do. But I do think you know,
I talked to a lot of teams. Almost all of
them had brawny at least in the top hundred or
top seventy five in this draft class. So he is
(30:38):
a real NBA prospect. See somebody that if you ignored,
you were ignoring him because of his name, not because
of his play. And if you look at what he
did in college in terms of stats, kit came off
of you know, pretty serious heart incidents. So I don't
go by his.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Numbers, but he is no But would you would it
be fair to say that most people that come off
a pretty say if you get a heart issue, don't
get draft because that hard isshoot regards of other stats.
Now they played, Yeah, a.
Speaker 10 (31:04):
Kid like that would normally go back to school for
a second year. That would be the normal path for
somebody who went to that And that's fine. So you know,
this is not a normal situation. We can't pretend it's normal.
We can't say that this is. But fifty five is
a disposable, relatively disposable asset for an NBA team, right
like most fifty fives you use.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Are no, I get it, you do, you don't give
a You know the rules everyone, everyone.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
The new rules are is that you give out a
second round pick. Use the second round pick exception. So
it's either going to be a three or a four
year deal. The four year deal is more team favorable
than player favorable. If you're a team, you want a
four year deal. If you're a player, you want three.
So the argument that they gave him a four year
deal is crazy is actually not crazy. It's actually, under
(31:52):
the new rules, absolutely normal. So he got a little
bit more guaranteed than some he got less guaranteed than others.
He didn't get any extra in the first year, which
he could have gotten up to nine hundred thousand more
in the first year, could have gotten extra a couple
hundred or so in the second year, didn't, So he's
getting the minimum he can get on that contract. He
(32:12):
has a little bit more guaranteed than maybe someone would
normally get at fifty five, but it's not egregiously.

today's show posted right after we get up the air.
Let's get to the press, the press month Cibe. What
do you have all.
Speaker 4 (33:22):
Right, Doug, Let's start here in the NBA.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Coming on the heels of Klay Thompson's departure from Golden
State now headed to Dallas to play with the Mavericks,
Steph Curry sat down with ESPN and he basically says
that he doesn't think there will be another dynasty like
what the Golden State Warriors had.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Now.
Speaker 5 (33:40):
He does say that obviously defining a dynasty can be
looked at in different ways, but what they've done, he
doesn't think it's going to be replicated, especially just because
of how things are going on in the league and
how people are constantly like on the move. And here's
a little bit more of what he had to say.
Speaker 12 (33:56):
We talked about it a lot, just in the sense
of the journey that we've been on obviously me since
nine Clay's twenty eleven draft Draymond and then when coach
came in twenty fourteen and what's happened since. We would
have loved to maintain, you know, the core and finish
out together, but we obviously understand the league and things change,
(34:18):
and you know, having Clay Head on the Dallas it's tough.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
It's something that.
Speaker 12 (34:23):
I never imagine will be a reality. But you know,
you want him to be happy, You want him to
be able to enjoy at the game of basketball. It
does suck, and losing Clay there's no two ways around it.
So you have to be able to celebrate what we accomplished,
but then be able to move on.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
What do you think will there be another dynasty or
are the Warriors maybe the last one?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I mean, why would it be the last dynasty. I
don't understand that because there's so much movement. Celtics just
the Celtics have locked up their two stars for it
feels like eternity, and I do think your ability to
resign at least two stars is better than it's been.
I think Oklahoma City has got a chance if they
can get over the hump, maybe add one more perimeter
(35:06):
score like a guy create shots that they're gonna be
good for a long time. Yeah. I mean, we've had
dynasties in every different decade, so I don't see why
we wouldn't have another one. Do I think there'll be
one like the Warriors? Probably not. It's very unique one, yeah,
but I definitely think there will be others. And the
(35:29):
other part too. It is like, I don't know, it's
hard to call it a dynasty. Just when you know
they the to the middle two championships, they went and
got right Kevin Duran totally.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
I agree with you on that as well. I know, yes, on.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
The other hand, they won too without them, so there's
something to that. Yeah, They'll They'll be another. There always is.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
There always is, all right.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
So Paul George has said a lot lately on his podcast.
You were talked on your show that you know about
him and the Clippers not coming to an agreement because
he wanted to know a.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Trade close extension. This is what he said to Clipper fans,
and I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
I appreciate the fans here while I was in LA,
one of the best fan bases, like it says a lot.
When you have such a historic team like the Lakers
who have won multiple titles, and you still a Clippers fan.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
It's bittersweet, you know.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
And you know, I don't know what reception I get
coming back, but you know, I do want to say
I appreciate playing in front of the home crowd.
Speaker 4 (36:29):
Oh, Paul George, are you serious?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
What don't you like?
Speaker 5 (36:33):
I don't like that? He Why bring up the Lakers
at all in that comment? So have to be a
Clipper fan? Why even mention the Lakers?
Speaker 10 (36:40):
Like?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
I feel like you said too much and saying less
is more in this situation, maybe just because.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
I'm a Clipper, but you're like, you're the worst bitter
Clipper fan. Yes, let me just tell you what the
rest of us think.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Okay, please tell me that wasn't a backing.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Why would you be a Clipper fan?
Speaker 4 (36:57):
I mean, okay, why? Many reasons?
Speaker 5 (37:00):
Whether it was going to games because they were affordable
and you could have go to a Laker game.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
That's why I used to do when I was a kid,
no question.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
Yeah, or just not knowing my family moved from Costa Rica.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
I don't think they knew that the Lakers ran it
down and they were like, Okay, we're gonna be Clipper fans.
That's all I've ever known.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
All that is good and fine, it's hot. Would you
say it's hard to be a Clipper fan considering the
Lakers suck up all the oxygen even though they haven't
been much better except for one year in the last ten.
Speaker 4 (37:24):
To be honest, I know I like being a Clipper fan.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I understand, But for most people, I just I think
you're being offended.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
To be offended, maybe I am.
Speaker 7 (37:35):
I think I'm with monster here, Doug, Like, wouldn't it
be like saying, like, man, Patrick Mahomes, he's a well guy.
Of all the women he's had a chance at since
meeting Brittany, he's stuck with Brittany. It's a total backhanded compliment.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Right, people say that about Patrick Mahomes, about her about
Patrick Way? Yes, yes, they just let's get the next door.
I want to a couple more stories.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Go Yes, yes, Okay.
Speaker 5 (38:01):
So Marcelo Zuna is the latest player to join the
MLB home run Derby. So we have Bobby wid Junior,
Alec Baum. We also have Pete Alonso and we have
Gunner Henderson.
Speaker 4 (38:12):
Are you excited. No, good, excellent. Elie de la Cruz.
I'm gonna see if I can play this. Elie de
la Cruz.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Was asked about his first All Star Game and who's
excited to.
Speaker 8 (38:22):
Meet learning japan to Joy.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Really, I don't know if.
Speaker 4 (38:40):
He's trying to. I'm Japanese, so you can talk to
show Donnie.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
Is he like legit, like he had that great start
to his career last year. Yes, and then he's got
forty three stolen bases? But is he really an All Star?
I guess yes.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
I think he's one of the he's just sometimes.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
The first second last year, Oh my gosh, so bad.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Yeah, but no, he's definitely part of the excitement for
the Reds.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Totally okay, And that is the press.
Speaker 8 (39:08):
You get out there and pressed.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
That was the press, So you don't bring up the Lakers.
