Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Gottly Show. Here's in
the bonus with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I'm got on the show Fox Sports Radio. In the bonus.
So fourth of July is here. And I don't know
(00:35):
how to say this, but fireworks shows are. I was
sitting out uh back of my property. We can as
people have kind of figured out a beat in Green Bay.
I'm literally on the bay and it was cool last night.
You know, it was beautiful night. We're sitting out there
and you could see a couple of different little mini
(00:56):
fireworks shows. Then tonight there'll be a bunch of firework
shows you can see. And I know you guys, being
in La. La has like more fireworks displays per capita
than any place on earth. It's for people don't know.
Fireworks are, especially the ones that fly in the air
are illegal in I think every county in southern California.
(01:17):
And yet and yet there's more of them there than
anywhere because you can go to Mexico and literally get
any kind of firework you want. And by Mexico I
mean you can go lots of place in La and
get any fireworks you want. So lots of block parties
have like ornate fireworks displays going on, and there's always
(01:39):
like you know, Chopper nine flying around and every every
four July there's a ridiculous shot from helicopter of like
seventy five fireworks shows going on at once in the
La Basin. And Sam, you brought up something which I
(02:00):
thought is totally pertinent, which is the difference or the
juxtaposition of the fireworks show versus the drone show. Which
are you more a fan of?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I think that since last year I am becoming because
I saw this drone show on TV that was like
live from Las Vegas. I'm becoming a fan of the
drone show. And it's not just because of how it looks.
There's a lot of reasons why the drone Like it
doesn't always we don't have to replace fireworks with a
drone show, but it could be an alternative. And it's
(02:32):
really cool, Like the technology involved here is amazing, Like
how they get all these like two hundred drones to
just sort of do this spatial dance where they you know,
create these crazy designs. It kind of outshines fireworks in
a lot of ways. And I know those fireworks, the
fireworks chemical engineers, the pyrotechnicians that create these you know,
(02:52):
these displays would probably take issue with that, and they've
made some cool designs themselves. But these drone shows are
a little easier on the environment, the little easier on
your dog and my parents' dogs, Doug. I think they're
a little more sustainable, like you don't have to clean
a bunch of trash that you can reuse the drones
over and over again. And there's companies out there that'll
book you these these drone shows, and yeah, it's just
(03:13):
it's it's another alternative. I think it's gonna be like
more fifty to fifty in the future, drone shows and
firework shows, maybe even drone shows taking over.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So they're amazing, Like I mean, I've seen just like
stuff that doesn't even look real, like it looks three dimensional.
It looks like you're watching something that's like made by CGI.
But it's definitely the drone shows are the thing in
the future. And I'm a guy who's like, you know,
someone brings up like crypto, or they bring up like drones,
or they bring up AI and I just like I'm
the old man like on the you know, shaking his
(03:42):
fist the cloud saying like, I don't care about any
of that. Nothing's gonna take over my life like AI
or Crypto, And I'm like, you know so, But for
me to embrace the drone shows is sort of a
fresh thing for me.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
The Dodgers started doing drone shows recently. When they used
to they had firework shows, and then he said, let's
start doing drone shows on top of the firework shows.
But then I noticed more people stay for the drone
shows than the fireworks shows. It might just be because
it's a new thing, but one hundred percent, the drone
show is way cooler than the fireworks show, at least
in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, I don't there's there's any question that the drone
shows are you know, look the firework shows. I think
there's probably a lot of amazing, amazing parts to it,
you know in that you know the chemicals and how
summer delayed release. But yes, the drones, flying objects all
working together, even though it's just kind of one program,
(04:35):
I think that's that's every bit of amazing. Let's get
to what the Fox said. Sholly.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app lev Let's.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Get to what the Fox says and now.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Say.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This is Nick Right, of course, every day this time
of the Gottlip Show, you're on Fox Sports Radio, we
played for you a portion of a previous show on
Fox Sports Radio or Fox Sports One. Here's Nick right.
Given his very early tiers in the NBA?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Is this finally the year? The Sixers haven't won a
title in more than forty years, The Knicks haven't won
a title in more than fifty years. The Timberwolves haven't
won a title in infinite years. They've never done it,
never even played for one. Do all three of them
have the best chance they've had in twenty some odd
years to do it this year?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Is this finally the year? Excellent season and excellent offseason.
We know it's the number one seed and made the finals,
and in the offseason, the thunder Brook they add Alex Crusoe,
they add Hartenstein to get some rebounding. The MAVs bring
in Quentin Grimes and Klay Thompson and lose almost nothing
as far as production goes. Excellent season, excellent offseason and
(05:55):
then at the top of the tiers running it back.
So they're just bringing everyone back and they won eighty
games last year and faced little resistance that Chris Broussard
are the committees in volunteers.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Brouh Yeah, that's not really a tier though, right, That's
that's he's He's trying to figure out if they fit
on that Boston tier right now. But I would agree
with with with the general premise. I don't think Minnesota
is nearly as close as he does. I could be wrong.
I do think New York is close. I do think
(06:28):
that the Sixers are close, but most of that is because, uh,
you know, Boston. One of the big separators for them
is when they have Christos Frizingis and Prizingis of course
got hurt, barely played in the playoffs anyway, got hurt
in the finals, and now is that offseason surgery. You're
depending upon him and I just you know, and if not,
(06:52):
it's Al Horford and al Horford's long in the tooth.
So you have to have the type of interior presence
that they supposed to. The Persingis provides with the stretch
five capability, So I again, their margin fairs a little
bit greater than others, but not that great. And I
do think that they're right there. I also think Oklahom
seeing the West is a legit contender now just like
(07:14):
the Timberwolves. They got beaten by the Dallas Mavericks, and
Dallas got better. I just I think the real story here, though,
is that the shift has been from the West Coast
Golden State Lakers, maybe even Clippers. When Clippers were right,
they were the best team in the West, to now
in the Midwest or you know, the Midwest and Mountain
(07:36):
time zone. I still think Denver has something to say
about it. We'll see what they were able to add
as losing Bruce Brown two years ago, losing Coentavious Cowell
Pope this year, that that's really hurt them. This is
Craig Carton talking about Bronnie James and he says Bronnie
will not be in the G League. Do you think
he'll spend more time playing for the Lakers or in
(07:56):
the Guile.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I don't think he's I don't think he plays a
single game in the G League. I don't. Well, they
did not go through all this trouble to draft him
into the NBA to put him on the G League,
which is where he ultimately belongs. So you know, I
think we all agree on that from a town standpoint,
there is no way on God's green earth that that
kid is going to go to the G League and
be divorced from the LA Lakers. And I'm having the opportunity,
(08:20):
of course, to play in the same roster as his dad,
because if the idea was let's develop and which is
what the G League is for.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
In the G League, they wouldn't have drafted him. Yeah,
I'd be like, look, there's lots of different contribution, uh,
contradictions there, but I do think he spent some time
in the G League. Well here's any question then, because
what you'll find is once he gets into the NBA,
and if he plays early on so they get get
get it out of the way with the father son
playing together thing, then he'd be like, well, yeah, he
(08:50):
gets to get his workout in every day with his
dad and his extra workout him, but he needs to
play games and he's not going to be He's not
good enough to play in the NBA games right now.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
He's just not.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's just not. So it's part of what we've talked
about a bigger tail in that are you are you
trying to develop or are you trying to actually win.
Here's Jason McIntyre explaining why he's not sold on Paul
George piled up his Big three.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I am all for equality of opportunity. I'm not for
equality of outcome, which is what the NBA wants. But
the NBA is kind of winning last six years, six
different NBA champions. And if you look around the league, folks,
there are two big threes that before the sixers.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Out of Paul George, that's it.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
There's really two official big threes, and that's the Bucks
who went to play for Damian Lillard, Giannis, Middleton and Lillard.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
We know how that worked out.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
They lost in the first round.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I know Giannis was hurt.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
They didn't look at it at any point last season.
And then there's the Phoenix Suns who had KD. Beale
and Booker and that flamed out spectacularly, getting swept by
the Timberwolves in the first round. Which leads me to
Paul George and the latest Big Three. I'm using air
quotes for the radio audience because I don't know that
it's a Big Three. I like Paul George a lot.
I've always loved his game. I'm on record, you can
(10:06):
look it up. I mean this guy at Indiana, Oh
my goodness, he was so good, what toe to toe
with Lebron, smooth game inside out, let his game do
the talking until he got kind of in his head
and called himself playoff p which hasn't quite worked out.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Great. Yeah, I again, I understand that. I understand that
that Jason's role is to be somewhat cynical. But it's like,
you know, they tried the Clippers thing. It didn't work
in Oklahoma City, it didn't work. Tries a new thing
to see if it works. And what what I think
(10:45):
people inside the NBA understand is it's like Drew Holliday.
If Drew Haliday is your best or second best player,
you're not going to NBA Championship. If he's your third
or fourth best NBA play fourth, third or fourth best
player on offense, you'll you got a great shot. And
I think for Paul George, if he's your or second
best or third best scorer, you got a great team.
He brings versatility to fersatility, toughness, he can make he
(11:06):
can carry a team at times, but he can't do
a championship. That's reasonable. I like it, and I'll disagree
with them. So that's what the Fox said.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
What does the fun say? Be sure to catch the
live edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three
pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Let's find out who or what is annoying?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Maybe and now it's your annoying.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh shay, here's what we're gonna do today. Kay. When
we do your annoying, usually it's Jason Stewart because Jason
everything annoys Jason Stewart. So we'll just kind of we'll
just kind of split the split the split it up.
And if you have that's annoying you, Sam has something
that's annoying him. I have some things that are annoying me.
We can kind of we can kind of share it, right,
(12:08):
we can share it. I'm here's here's what's annoying me.
I got I got two things for you in a
fourth of July. As all of you know, I'm the
new head coach at Wisconsin Green Bay. I could not
be more. Could I be happier with the players that
I've got. They've all come to work they're all I
(12:31):
have no problems, no bad kids, no none, zero issues.
And honestly, to this point, all the parents are really good.
What what is frustrating and recruiting is not the players
and the parents. It's a lot of these because players
(12:51):
can have agents. Now, it's not even the agents like
I found. The agents I've worked with are all professional.
It's the there's I do just call them leeches, and
what they do is they suck onto a player. And
a lot of times it's somebody who at the last second,
like you've already been talking to a player, you already
have the guy developed, the relationship developed, you're already ready
(13:12):
to go, and then here is you know, here is this.
Oh hey, by the way, coach, this is my guy,
and I wanted to know how you're going to play him.
I want to know if you're going to pay him money.
I want to know. I like, I don't even what,
and we're just we It's like coaches talk to one
another so we know what's going on. We know what's
(13:34):
going on, and we just sit there and go like, hey,
we all know the deal. You're just trying to get
in here to make yourself a part of it. So
that if the kid moves, you move him and then
you want to get a piece of that action. Like,
we're not dummies, but those people who aren't really involved
in the process, who all they do is hinder the process.
You're really really really annoying, really annoying, really really annoying.
(13:58):
What do you got there? Uh shay, you get some
meaning that's annoying you in life?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah, one hundred percent. So, as you know, Nathan's hot
dog eating contest is going on right now, and recently
people have been saying that it's nothing without Joey Chestnut.
But while watching it today, I literally like I could
care who's on the screen because it's just a bunch
of dudes shoving their face with hot dogs and no
matter what, that's entertaining to me. And it really doesn't
matter who's doing it. I mean, I keep people seeing
(14:23):
people in tweets saying like, oh, is the hot dog
getting contest eat dying without Joey Chestnut, But like, to me,
it does not matter who's doing it. If it could
be a fat dude, a skinny dude, a white like,
it really does not matter who's doing it. I just
I'm happy to see people shove their face with as
many hot dogs as they can with literally chipmunk chins,
Like it's the funniest thing. No matter what, I don't
care if Joey Chestnut's doing it. I don't care if
(14:44):
President Obama's doing it. I'm happy no matter what.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
President Obama does love his hot dogs, Hey does love
his hot dogs. You basically you're saying you love to
see people stuffing wieners in their face.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I love I love that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, well we've got shase You're annoying then, But listen,
when greatness is out there, excellence is out there. Joey
Chestnut is the best, and he's not a part of it.
It does feel like there's a little something missing.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's totally missing. Yeah, what what do you got, Sammy?
What's what's annoying you?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Okay, let me uh, let me set this up a
little bit so I don't I'm not annoyed with people
doing their jobs or going to work, but I am
a little annoyed when I, like leave for the day
and I'm going to work for a twenty four hour network,
but like the handyman is over at our apartment building,
like working on the fourth of July, this annoys me.
(15:35):
We need and if listen, if this guy is having
to work because his boss won't pay him for the
holiday or give him some incentive to stay home, then
that that annoys me too. But I'm annoyed when people
are like working like like self employed jobs on holidays.
And this kind of plays into like just the general
cultural culture in La, Like you'll have these like gardeners
show up like on a Saturday or a Sunday to
(15:57):
work and like make nois It's like, leave the weekend
for the people, leave the holidays for people. Let us
be quiet, let's just enjoy it. In Iowa, people like
carpenters are not showing up on a Saturday to like
finish a job. They're not showing up on a Sunday.
Those are sacred days. It's like when I see someone
like working like on a fourth July, Like I get it,
they might have to work because they just have to
(16:17):
make ends meet. But I'm annoyed like when I see
people like just going about their normal day like on
a holiday.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
For some reason, that just like annoys me. It's it's
not their work ethic that annoys me. It's the fact
that like, I'm like, you should just be home, like
enjoying yourself. But again, I'm annoyed that maybe they don't
have that option. They have to work, but I.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Don't know work.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
We're working on holiday, we are.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
But this is a little different because this train don't
stop here at Fox Sports Traded, we keep moving. I
just just like some of these people who do it.
You know, they got the callus rough hands. They work
hard and listen, yeah, they might need that extra paycheck
on the fourth of July, but it just it just sucks.
It annoys me that they are working, that they have
to work. You know, it's hot as hell out here
in LA and this poor guy is probably like, you know,
(16:58):
down on his hands and knees, scraping something out from
under a pipe or something. I don't know, but it's
I'm annoyed with that. Here's my other annoying thing. The
Indiana Fever are gonna be playing the New York Liberty
on Saturday for the fourth time. And I know they're
a conference full, but I'm annoyed that It's like I've
seen this team so many freaking times and it's we're
(17:21):
just past the halfway point of the WNBA season, and
the New York Liberty are like the big fat bully
on the block who they just keep coming back into here.
They just keep coming back like a nightmare. And every
time they play the Fever, it's an absolute beat down.
The closest game was eleven points. That was the second
time they met up. But finally they're gonna meet for
the last and final time on Saturday. It's like, enough's
(17:42):
enough to get the Liberty off the schedule. Every time
they meet up it is an absolute beat down. So
I'm annoyed with that. I'm so glad that they're gonna
be done with them because they are the best team
in the WNBA and the Fever always just get brutalized
by them.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Real quick, Doug, I got one more, Honestly, Yeah, I'm
very annoyed with the fact that the Cowboy are still
relevant and like it. Don't get me wrong, it's America's team,
But I keep seeing headlines and every headline's bad, whether
it's Michael Parson Ceede Lamb, it doesn't matter who it is.
When it's been twenty five years since you've won a
Super Bowl. I really don't understand why people still talk
(18:16):
about them, like, we're not talking about the Browns. The
Browns have never won a Super Bowl, but still they're
the better team and they have way better headlines. I
feel like, so it's like, why does it matter? Why
do we care? And don't get me wrong, I got
a ton of Cowboys fans around me, so this doesn't
be me because they're constantly talking about it. But I
just could not bring this up because this is one
of the things that was, oh, well, always be in
(18:37):
the back of my head, like why are we even
talking about them? Why does this matter? Like I get
it people still watch them, which I don't understand why,
but it just it genuinely pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You don't understand why.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I just don't understand why they're still relevant. It really
doesn't make sense to me. It's like, I don't know,
even new fans are going out and becoming fans of
the Cowboys just because they're kind of the team to
become fans of, and I don't I don't get it.
It just like why, like is it is it?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (19:03):
The culture?
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Is it? Is it?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Like?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I just it just annoys me.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I think there's there's a couple of reasons It's actually
a really interesting discussion. You're like, why are you a
fan of a certain football team. I'm not a Cowboy fan.
I would say that there's a gigantic portion of people
that are Cowboy fans because, uh, during their formative years
from like childhood, middle school, high school, whatever, during that
run when they won three Super Bowls, that that was, uh,
(19:28):
they were the absolute dominant football team. But they were
also kind of glamorous. Since then, obviously, now they finally
put together back to back ten win seasons, they've they've
built some consistency. The glamour has been in the name
and in the image, and uh, probably in the stadium. Right.
They were the first to go to this, you know,
(19:51):
to to the new new stadium that had everything in
it and had the big video board in it that
that everybody wanted to kind of copy. So, but I
the biggest portion of it is our parents are my
my parents' age, it was America's team they won Super Bowls,
Tom Landry and then in my age, the three Surpols,
(20:11):
you know, with the triplets with Troy Aikman. The teams
that you cheer for growing up oftentimes are the ones
that are winning the most growing up. And that's why.
Because the Steelers have won in every different decade and
because the Cowboys have been dominating, dominant in a couple
of decades. I think that's why they have the fan
bases they have. Let's see here, what's most annoying. I
don't have the patience to jack with you today. Yeah,
(20:33):
I don't have the patients jack with people either, But
I don't blameing Jerry set just a little bit. Well,
well put me in coach. I'm hot, you know, I'll
give you one more. That's annoying. Okay, Now I don't
have my dogs with me, but I do know that
today is the toughest day for my dog, Odell Beckham
(20:54):
junior June Man. And it's because dogs hate fireworks. So
look you with on fourth July. It's totally cool to
have fireworks. Just it's cool. Like, don't get me. I'm
a I'm a guy like to blow stuff up. Don't
blow up your digits. Be really careful with it, you know,
do what you're supposed to do. But it's the for
I talked to my mom. She's like, you know, the
(21:15):
damn and she's older, the damn fireworks, Like look, you
gotta just because you buy fireworks doesn't mean the entire
month of July you can light them off right between
kids and dogs and you know, kids and dogs like
be a little respectful, but dogs hate fireworks and.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
They end up disappearing or going missing, and like it
just creates some of these Some dogs are just so
rattled by it that they like they just forget where
their home is. They just run away, like instinctively. So
it's it's sad.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You can you can play, like so you can plan
for it at some level, un but like fourth July
you can, but right now you can, you know, after
fourth July you cannot.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Well here's so I grew up, you know, in Iowa City, Iowa,
but I also my parents had a farm about forty
five minutes away. We go down to Missouri dug and
buy fireworks, and we kind of had some rules like
during the summer, like no one cared if you shot
them off, but like try to do it like on
the weekend, Like don't do it on like on a
random Tuesday night when people got to work the next day.
And yeah, don't do it at like one in the morning,
like just kind of just follow it kind of like
(22:15):
mowing your grass, Like there's certain decorum to when you
mow and what day and what time.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Of the day.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
So yeah, all night last week, respectful.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I was here in a little boom Yeah, just.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Booms back to back to back, and I was like,
all right, this is happening, Like I gotta go to
bed early.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
To LA's got an unenforceable firework problem, like where everybody's
getting them from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Those thunderjackets though I've heard about those are good. They
kind of like they they wrap around the dugs or
duck the dogs towards so and it kind of keeps
them calmer, like it's like pushed a little light pressure
on them. It's something that my parents have two very anxious,
very sweet, but very anxious dogs who probably need those
so and thunderstorms are also very hard. My mom has
to give them drugs every time a severe thunderstorm rolls through.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Uh So, I'm gonna go with fireworks, fireworks outside of
for July.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Guy, why are we doing this?
Speaker 7 (23:14):
I do.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Because we can.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Uh So, this is because we can. Today. Frank Fleming,
who is of course Frank the Tank, said.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
This totally lifeless fucking effort today, Jay stud he said,
Stuart's gonna play every day now.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Yes, he loves he loves losing.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
And then you put it with Jesse fucking Waker.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
This guy fucking sucks. He scoop fucks does everyone our
fucking time. I'm telling you this is it.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
The mesre gonna get schmapped in Pitchfork.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
It's over.
Speaker 4 (23:54):
He will not see five hundred again this year.
Speaker 7 (23:56):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Demon is still smiling yesterday.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
He loves losing.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
That's Frank Fleming. Why could I play it for you
because we can't.
Speaker 3 (24:06):
No takes from that, Doug Tash. I mean that was
about as much of a because we can as we've
ever had with all that person in there. But I
don't know if there was any actual substance to draw from. No,
that's that's you know, that guy sounded like a raving
lunatic fan he is.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
That's what's that's the barstool thing, right, Yeah, so yeahttle
little much. Why could I play it for you because
we can't? All right, that's it for in the bonus,
thought you'd appreciate that, have yourself happy for it, July.
This is the Doug Gottlieb show
All right, this is the Doug Gottly Show. Here's in
the bonus with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I'm got on the show Fox Sports Radio. In the bonus.
So fourth of July is here. And I don't know
(00:35):
how to say this, but fireworks shows are. I was
sitting out uh back of my property. We can as
people have kind of figured out a beat in Green Bay.
I'm literally on the bay and it was cool last night.
You know, it was beautiful night. We're sitting out there
and you could see a couple of different little mini
(00:56):
fireworks shows. Then tonight there'll be a bunch of firework
shows you can see. And I know you guys, being
in La. La has like more fireworks displays per capita
than any place on earth. It's for people don't know.
Fireworks are, especially the ones that fly in the air
are illegal in I think every county in southern California.
(01:17):
And yet and yet there's more of them there than
anywhere because you can go to Mexico and literally get
any kind of firework you want. And by Mexico I
mean you can go lots of place in La and
get any fireworks you want. So lots of block parties
have like ornate fireworks displays going on, and there's always
(01:39):
like you know, Chopper nine flying around and every every
four July there's a ridiculous shot from helicopter of like
seventy five fireworks shows going on at once in the
La Basin. And Sam, you brought up something which I
(02:00):
thought is totally pertinent, which is the difference or the
juxtaposition of the fireworks show versus the drone show. Which
are you more a fan of?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I think that since last year I am becoming because
I saw this drone show on TV that was like
live from Las Vegas. I'm becoming a fan of the
drone show. And it's not just because of how it looks.
There's a lot of reasons why the drone Like it
doesn't always we don't have to replace fireworks with a
drone show, but it could be an alternative. And it's
(02:32):
really cool, Like the technology involved here is amazing, Like
how they get all these like two hundred drones to
just sort of do this spatial dance where they you know,
create these crazy designs. It kind of outshines fireworks in
a lot of ways. And I know those fireworks, the
fireworks chemical engineers, the pyrotechnicians that create these you know,
(02:52):
these displays would probably take issue with that, and they've
made some cool designs themselves. But these drone shows are
a little easier on the environment, the little easier on
your dog and my parents' dogs, Doug. I think they're
a little more sustainable, like you don't have to clean
a bunch of trash that you can reuse the drones
over and over again. And there's companies out there that'll
book you these these drone shows, and yeah, it's just
(03:13):
it's it's another alternative. I think it's gonna be like
more fifty to fifty in the future, drone shows and
firework shows, maybe even drone shows taking over.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
I think.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
So they're amazing, Like I mean, I've seen just like
stuff that doesn't even look real, like it looks three dimensional.
It looks like you're watching something that's like made by CGI.
But it's definitely the drone shows are the thing in
the future. And I'm a guy who's like, you know,
someone brings up like crypto, or they bring up like drones,
or they bring up AI and I just like I'm
the old man like on the you know, shaking his
(03:42):
fist the cloud saying like, I don't care about any
of that. Nothing's gonna take over my life like AI
or Crypto, And I'm like, you know so, But for
me to embrace the drone shows is sort of a
fresh thing for me.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
The Dodgers started doing drone shows recently. When they used
to they had firework shows, and then he said, let's
start doing drone shows on top of the firework shows.
But then I noticed more people stay for the drone
shows than the fireworks shows. It might just be because
it's a new thing, but one hundred percent, the drone
show is way cooler than the fireworks show, at least
in my opinion.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well, I don't there's there's any question that the drone
shows are you know, look the firework shows. I think
there's probably a lot of amazing, amazing parts to it,
you know in that you know the chemicals and how
summer delayed release. But yes, the drones, flying objects all
working together, even though it's just kind of one program,
(04:35):
I think that's that's every bit of amazing. Let's get
to what the Fox said. Sholly.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app lev Let's.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Get to what the Fox says and now.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Say.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
This is Nick Right, of course, every day this time
of the Gottlip Show, you're on Fox Sports Radio, we
played for you a portion of a previous show on
Fox Sports Radio or Fox Sports One. Here's Nick right.
Given his very early tiers in the NBA?
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Is this finally the year? The Sixers haven't won a
title in more than forty years, The Knicks haven't won
a title in more than fifty years. The Timberwolves haven't
won a title in infinite years. They've never done it,
never even played for one. Do all three of them
have the best chance they've had in twenty some odd
years to do it this year?
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Is this finally the year? Excellent season and excellent offseason.
We know it's the number one seed and made the finals,
and in the offseason, the thunder Brook they add Alex Crusoe,
they add Hartenstein to get some rebounding. The MAVs bring
in Quentin Grimes and Klay Thompson and lose almost nothing
as far as production goes. Excellent season, excellent offseason and
(05:55):
then at the top of the tiers running it back.
So they're just bringing everyone back and they won eighty
games last year and faced little resistance that Chris Broussard
are the committees in volunteers.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Brouh Yeah, that's not really a tier though, right, That's
that's he's He's trying to figure out if they fit
on that Boston tier right now. But I would agree
with with with the general premise. I don't think Minnesota
is nearly as close as he does. I could be wrong.
I do think New York is close. I do think
(06:28):
that the Sixers are close, but most of that is because, uh,
you know, Boston. One of the big separators for them
is when they have Christos Frizingis and Prizingis of course
got hurt, barely played in the playoffs anyway, got hurt
in the finals, and now is that offseason surgery. You're
depending upon him and I just you know, and if not,
(06:52):
it's Al Horford and al Horford's long in the tooth.
So you have to have the type of interior presence
that they supposed to. The Persingis provides with the stretch
five capability, So I again, their margin fairs a little
bit greater than others, but not that great. And I
do think that they're right there. I also think Oklahom
seeing the West is a legit contender now just like
(07:14):
the Timberwolves. They got beaten by the Dallas Mavericks, and
Dallas got better. I just I think the real story here, though,
is that the shift has been from the West Coast
Golden State Lakers, maybe even Clippers. When Clippers were right,
they were the best team in the West, to now
in the Midwest or you know, the Midwest and Mountain
(07:36):
time zone. I still think Denver has something to say
about it. We'll see what they were able to add
as losing Bruce Brown two years ago, losing Coentavious Cowell
Pope this year, that that's really hurt them. This is
Craig Carton talking about Bronnie James and he says Bronnie
will not be in the G League. Do you think
he'll spend more time playing for the Lakers or in
(07:56):
the Guile.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I don't think he's I don't think he plays a
single game in the G League. I don't. Well, they
did not go through all this trouble to draft him
into the NBA to put him on the G League,
which is where he ultimately belongs. So you know, I
think we all agree on that from a town standpoint,
there is no way on God's green earth that that
kid is going to go to the G League and
be divorced from the LA Lakers. And I'm having the opportunity,
(08:20):
of course, to play in the same roster as his dad,
because if the idea was let's develop and which is
what the G League is for.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
In the G League, they wouldn't have drafted him. Yeah,
I'd be like, look, there's lots of different contribution, uh,
contradictions there, but I do think he spent some time
in the G League. Well here's any question then, because
what you'll find is once he gets into the NBA,
and if he plays early on so they get get
get it out of the way with the father son
playing together thing, then he'd be like, well, yeah, he
(08:50):
gets to get his workout in every day with his
dad and his extra workout him, but he needs to
play games and he's not going to be He's not
good enough to play in the NBA games right now.
Speaker 7 (08:59):
He's just not.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
It's just not. So it's part of what we've talked
about a bigger tail in that are you are you
trying to develop or are you trying to actually win.
Here's Jason McIntyre explaining why he's not sold on Paul
George piled up his Big three.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I am all for equality of opportunity. I'm not for
equality of outcome, which is what the NBA wants. But
the NBA is kind of winning last six years, six
different NBA champions. And if you look around the league, folks,
there are two big threes that before the sixers.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Out of Paul George, that's it.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
There's really two official big threes, and that's the Bucks
who went to play for Damian Lillard, Giannis, Middleton and Lillard.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
We know how that worked out.
Speaker 7 (09:42):
They lost in the first round.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I know Giannis was hurt.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
They didn't look at it at any point last season.
And then there's the Phoenix Suns who had KD. Beale
and Booker and that flamed out spectacularly, getting swept by
the Timberwolves in the first round. Which leads me to
Paul George and the latest Big Three. I'm using air
quotes for the radio audience because I don't know that
it's a Big Three. I like Paul George a lot.
I've always loved his game. I'm on record, you can
(10:06):
look it up. I mean this guy at Indiana, Oh
my goodness, he was so good, what toe to toe
with Lebron, smooth game inside out, let his game do
the talking until he got kind of in his head
and called himself playoff p which hasn't quite worked out.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Great. Yeah, I again, I understand that. I understand that
that Jason's role is to be somewhat cynical. But it's like,
you know, they tried the Clippers thing. It didn't work
in Oklahoma City, it didn't work. Tries a new thing
to see if it works. And what what I think
(10:45):
people inside the NBA understand is it's like Drew Holliday.
If Drew Haliday is your best or second best player,
you're not going to NBA Championship. If he's your third
or fourth best NBA play fourth, third or fourth best
player on offense, you'll you got a great shot. And
I think for Paul George, if he's your or second
best or third best scorer, you got a great team.
He brings versatility to fersatility, toughness, he can make he
(11:06):
can carry a team at times, but he can't do
a championship. That's reasonable. I like it, and I'll disagree
with them. So that's what the Fox said.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
What does the fun say? Be sure to catch the
live edition of The Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three
pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
Let's find out who or what is annoying?
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Maybe and now it's your annoying.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Uh shay, here's what we're gonna do today. Kay. When
we do your annoying, usually it's Jason Stewart because Jason
everything annoys Jason Stewart. So we'll just kind of we'll
just kind of split the split the split it up.
And if you have that's annoying you, Sam has something
that's annoying him. I have some things that are annoying me.
We can kind of we can kind of share it, right,
(12:08):
we can share it. I'm here's here's what's annoying me.
I got I got two things for you in a
fourth of July. As all of you know, I'm the
new head coach at Wisconsin Green Bay. I could not
be more. Could I be happier with the players that
I've got. They've all come to work they're all I
(12:31):
have no problems, no bad kids, no none, zero issues.
And honestly, to this point, all the parents are really good.
What what is frustrating and recruiting is not the players
and the parents. It's a lot of these because players
(12:51):
can have agents. Now, it's not even the agents like
I found. The agents I've worked with are all professional.
It's the there's I do just call them leeches, and
what they do is they suck onto a player. And
a lot of times it's somebody who at the last second,
like you've already been talking to a player, you already
have the guy developed, the relationship developed, you're already ready
(13:12):
to go, and then here is you know, here is this.
Oh hey, by the way, coach, this is my guy,
and I wanted to know how you're going to play him.
I want to know if you're going to pay him money.
I want to know. I like, I don't even what,
and we're just we It's like coaches talk to one
another so we know what's going on. We know what's
(13:34):
going on, and we just sit there and go like, hey,
we all know the deal. You're just trying to get
in here to make yourself a part of it. So
that if the kid moves, you move him and then
you want to get a piece of that action. Like,
we're not dummies, but those people who aren't really involved
in the process, who all they do is hinder the process.
You're really really really annoying, really annoying, really really annoying.
(13:58):
What do you got there? Uh shay, you get some
meaning that's annoying you in life?
Speaker 4 (14:02):
Yeah, one hundred percent. So, as you know, Nathan's hot
dog eating contest is going on right now, and recently
people have been saying that it's nothing without Joey Chestnut.
But while watching it today, I literally like I could
care who's on the screen because it's just a bunch
of dudes shoving their face with hot dogs and no
matter what, that's entertaining to me. And it really doesn't
matter who's doing it. I mean, I keep people seeing
(14:23):
people in tweets saying like, oh, is the hot dog
getting contest eat dying without Joey Chestnut, But like, to me,
it does not matter who's doing it. If it could
be a fat dude, a skinny dude, a white like,
it really does not matter who's doing it. I just
I'm happy to see people shove their face with as
many hot dogs as they can with literally chipmunk chins,
Like it's the funniest thing. No matter what, I don't
care if Joey Chestnut's doing it. I don't care if
(14:44):
President Obama's doing it. I'm happy no matter what.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
President Obama does love his hot dogs, Hey does love
his hot dogs. You basically you're saying you love to
see people stuffing wieners in their face.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
I love I love that.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, well we've got shase You're annoying then, But listen,
when greatness is out there, excellence is out there. Joey
Chestnut is the best, and he's not a part of it.
It does feel like there's a little something missing.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's totally missing. Yeah, what what do you got, Sammy?
What's what's annoying you?
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Okay, let me uh, let me set this up a
little bit so I don't I'm not annoyed with people
doing their jobs or going to work, but I am
a little annoyed when I, like leave for the day
and I'm going to work for a twenty four hour network,
but like the handyman is over at our apartment building,
like working on the fourth of July, this annoys me.
(15:35):
We need and if listen, if this guy is having
to work because his boss won't pay him for the
holiday or give him some incentive to stay home, then
that that annoys me too. But I'm annoyed when people
are like working like like self employed jobs on holidays.
And this kind of plays into like just the general
cultural culture in La, Like you'll have these like gardeners
show up like on a Saturday or a Sunday to
(15:57):
work and like make nois It's like, leave the weekend
for the people, leave the holidays for people. Let us
be quiet, let's just enjoy it. In Iowa, people like
carpenters are not showing up on a Saturday to like
finish a job. They're not showing up on a Sunday.
Those are sacred days. It's like when I see someone
like working like on a fourth July, Like I get it,
they might have to work because they just have to
(16:17):
make ends meet. But I'm annoyed like when I see
people like just going about their normal day like on
a holiday.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
For some reason, that just like annoys me. It's it's
not their work ethic that annoys me. It's the fact
that like, I'm like, you should just be home, like
enjoying yourself. But again, I'm annoyed that maybe they don't
have that option. They have to work, but I.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Don't know work.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
We're working on holiday, we are.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
But this is a little different because this train don't
stop here at Fox Sports Traded, we keep moving. I
just just like some of these people who do it.
You know, they got the callus rough hands. They work
hard and listen, yeah, they might need that extra paycheck
on the fourth of July, but it just it just sucks.
It annoys me that they are working, that they have
to work. You know, it's hot as hell out here
in LA and this poor guy is probably like, you know,
(16:58):
down on his hands and knees, scraping something out from
under a pipe or something. I don't know, but it's
I'm annoyed with that. Here's my other annoying thing. The
Indiana Fever are gonna be playing the New York Liberty
on Saturday for the fourth time. And I know they're
a conference full, but I'm annoyed that It's like I've
seen this team so many freaking times and it's we're
(17:21):
just past the halfway point of the WNBA season, and
the New York Liberty are like the big fat bully
on the block who they just keep coming back into here.
They just keep coming back like a nightmare. And every
time they play the Fever, it's an absolute beat down.
The closest game was eleven points. That was the second
time they met up. But finally they're gonna meet for
the last and final time on Saturday. It's like, enough's
(17:42):
enough to get the Liberty off the schedule. Every time
they meet up it is an absolute beat down. So
I'm annoyed with that. I'm so glad that they're gonna
be done with them because they are the best team
in the WNBA and the Fever always just get brutalized
by them.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
Real quick, Doug, I got one more, Honestly, Yeah, I'm
very annoyed with the fact that the Cowboy are still
relevant and like it. Don't get me wrong, it's America's team,
But I keep seeing headlines and every headline's bad, whether
it's Michael Parson Ceede Lamb, it doesn't matter who it is.
When it's been twenty five years since you've won a
Super Bowl. I really don't understand why people still talk
(18:16):
about them, like, we're not talking about the Browns. The
Browns have never won a Super Bowl, but still they're
the better team and they have way better headlines. I
feel like, so it's like, why does it matter? Why
do we care? And don't get me wrong, I got
a ton of Cowboys fans around me, so this doesn't
be me because they're constantly talking about it. But I
just could not bring this up because this is one
of the things that was, oh, well, always be in
(18:37):
the back of my head, like why are we even
talking about them? Why does this matter? Like I get
it people still watch them, which I don't understand why,
but it just it genuinely pisses me off.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
You don't understand why.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I just don't understand why they're still relevant. It really
doesn't make sense to me. It's like, I don't know,
even new fans are going out and becoming fans of
the Cowboys just because they're kind of the team to
become fans of, and I don't I don't get it.
It just like why, like is it is it?
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (19:03):
The culture?
Speaker 7 (19:04):
Is it? Is it?
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Like?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
I just it just annoys me.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I think there's there's a couple of reasons It's actually
a really interesting discussion. You're like, why are you a
fan of a certain football team. I'm not a Cowboy fan.
I would say that there's a gigantic portion of people
that are Cowboy fans because, uh, during their formative years
from like childhood, middle school, high school, whatever, during that
run when they won three Super Bowls, that that was, uh,
(19:28):
they were the absolute dominant football team. But they were
also kind of glamorous. Since then, obviously, now they finally
put together back to back ten win seasons, they've they've
built some consistency. The glamour has been in the name
and in the image, and uh, probably in the stadium. Right.
They were the first to go to this, you know,
(19:51):
to to the new new stadium that had everything in
it and had the big video board in it that
that everybody wanted to kind of copy. So, but I
the biggest portion of it is our parents are my
my parents' age, it was America's team they won Super Bowls,
Tom Landry and then in my age, the three Surpols,
(20:11):
you know, with the triplets with Troy Aikman. The teams
that you cheer for growing up oftentimes are the ones
that are winning the most growing up. And that's why.
Because the Steelers have won in every different decade and
because the Cowboys have been dominating, dominant in a couple
of decades. I think that's why they have the fan
bases they have. Let's see here, what's most annoying. I
don't have the patience to jack with you today. Yeah,
(20:33):
I don't have the patients jack with people either, But
I don't blameing Jerry set just a little bit. Well,
well put me in coach. I'm hot, you know, I'll
give you one more. That's annoying. Okay, Now I don't
have my dogs with me, but I do know that
today is the toughest day for my dog, Odell Beckham
(20:54):
junior June Man. And it's because dogs hate fireworks. So
look you with on fourth July. It's totally cool to
have fireworks. Just it's cool. Like, don't get me. I'm
a I'm a guy like to blow stuff up. Don't
blow up your digits. Be really careful with it, you know,
do what you're supposed to do. But it's the for
I talked to my mom. She's like, you know, the
(21:15):
damn and she's older, the damn fireworks, Like look, you
gotta just because you buy fireworks doesn't mean the entire
month of July you can light them off right between
kids and dogs and you know, kids and dogs like
be a little respectful, but dogs hate fireworks and.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
They end up disappearing or going missing, and like it
just creates some of these Some dogs are just so
rattled by it that they like they just forget where
their home is. They just run away, like instinctively. So
it's it's sad.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
You can you can play, like so you can plan
for it at some level, un but like fourth July
you can, but right now you can, you know, after
fourth July you cannot.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Well here's so I grew up, you know, in Iowa City, Iowa,
but I also my parents had a farm about forty
five minutes away. We go down to Missouri dug and
buy fireworks, and we kind of had some rules like
during the summer, like no one cared if you shot
them off, but like try to do it like on
the weekend, Like don't do it on like on a
random Tuesday night when people got to work the next day.
And yeah, don't do it at like one in the morning,
like just kind of just follow it kind of like
(22:15):
mowing your grass, Like there's certain decorum to when you
mow and what day and what time.
Speaker 7 (22:20):
Of the day.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
So yeah, all night last week, respectful.
Speaker 7 (22:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I was here in a little boom Yeah, just.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Booms back to back to back, and I was like,
all right, this is happening, Like I gotta go to
bed early.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
To LA's got an unenforceable firework problem, like where everybody's
getting them from Mexico.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Those thunderjackets though I've heard about those are good. They
kind of like they they wrap around the dugs or
duck the dogs towards so and it kind of keeps
them calmer, like it's like pushed a little light pressure
on them. It's something that my parents have two very anxious,
very sweet, but very anxious dogs who probably need those
so and thunderstorms are also very hard. My mom has
to give them drugs every time a severe thunderstorm rolls through.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
