Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, listen, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Heres
in the Bonus with Doug Gottlieb.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Godlief Show in the Bonus on Fox Sports Radio
on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, welcoming. Well,

(00:34):
today is January twenty second. You know, I was looking
today and i'd sometimes do this, right that, you go, hey,
things that happened on January twenty second?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
You ever do that?

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I think sometimes we do that with what's that? Don't
call it a throwback Thursday?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
And it's interesting sort of nothing actually big happened January
twenty second.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
It's it's a very weird thing.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
So I looked and looked and looked and couldn't find
anything substantive.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
So then you know what I did.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
I look for people who were born on January twenty second, Sam,
do you know who was born on January twenty second?

Speaker 3 (01:22):
I do?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Caitlyn Clark?

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Oh Man, I didn't, yes, of course, And so I
was I was thinking about things, and you.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Know what I want to do.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I want to take a moment, to take a snapshot
so that we remember things. I think many of us
in my profession, which is any sort of sports radio
host or journalist or whatever. I think we do a
bad job of contextualizing things and really calling upon important moments.

(01:52):
And I say this because, like I think Holland has
probably done the best job of talking about John Elway.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
Like we have lost.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
We have lost the discussion about John Elway in the
great quarterbacks of all time. And maybe it's because of
how he's viewed, how the end of his tenure was
viewed with the Denver Broncos right as their president. But
the reality is, like John Elway was fricking amazing. He
was Josh Allen, and he single handedly seemed to lift

(02:25):
them up to the Super Bowl, and they got blown
out in the first two Super Bowls, but a lot
of it was they weren't that good. They just had
the fumble and the drive and they had Lway and
he was like a cheat code. So I bring that
up because it's really important that I don't know if
Caitlin Clark goes down as the greatest basketball player of
all time, I think she's trending in the way of

(02:47):
Steph Curry, right, And when I say Steph Curry's not
just that she shoots logo threes, and it is a
debt passer as well. It's that Steph Curry's not the
greatest player of all time, but Steph Curry has made
us pay attention to a different style of player and
kind of captivated the world on a different way of
doing things.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
And best is.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
We can discuss, but most important or most interesting or
most impactful, right, she is the most impactful female athlete
I can remember.

Speaker 3 (03:22):
And you're like, whoa, whoa hold on?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
No, no, no, okay, And I don't I think there's
a litany of things that go with it. But she's
sitting there next to Taylor Swift this past weekend, and
she's almost as famous as Taylor Swift, who's the most
famous woman in the world. It's it's like when the

(03:47):
two superpowers combined. This is almost like two of the
Stones on the what is it from Marvel's Adventures?

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Right?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
You have the Infinity Stones? Right, It's like two Infinity
Stones right next to each other. January twenty second, two
thousand and two, was when Caitlin Clark was born. I
am not a Kaitlin Clark suck up. I don't like
to watch women's basketball generally. My brother's a women's seen

(04:16):
coach has draw me. I have a really close friend
Nikki Collin, who's the head coach of Baylor. I obviously
always like watching my alma mater play. Our women's team
at Green Bay is awesome. Kayla is in her first
year coaching there. She came over from South Dakota. She
played here like she's a star. They have seven seniors.
They're like a machine to watch them play like. I

(04:37):
like specific things, But I can't say that on a random,
you know, Tuesday night. Last night, when I went home
and I'm watching you know, tape on our opponent, watching ourselves,
I'm watching other games, I'm getting ideas that I ever
switch over to watching women's game. But I can tell
you that in twenty two years of doing national sports radio,
the last two years, not only have we talked talked

(05:00):
about Kaitlin Clark, but it made sense to talk about
Kayln Clark. It was the biggest She's been the biggest
story in sports several times for a substantial period of time.
And while there have been Kata the deck, he is
an amazing female athlete.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
We can go down the line.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
Those are basically once every four years in the Olympics,
like Kaitlin Clark remains a story even with the women's
three on three league, which I don't know who thought
that was a good idea. It just it feels like
a terrible idea. First of all three on three full court,
even when it's not a full court, is a terrible idea.
But I don't know, it's like one of these, Hey,
we can make a little bit of money off it

(05:37):
in the short term, let's do it. But if you
don't have Kaitlin Clark, you don't have anything that anybody's
paying attention to. She is a powerful, powerful voice. She
is an incredibly impactful young woman. She's amazing, and she's
handled just about everything.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
With incredible grace.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
You know, I don't love the quote in Time magazine whatever,
but again part of that is, like this is what
that league tries to make you do bow down to, Like, hey,
I got to give credit to people who they got
printing credit. Nobody gave us shit, you know, but whatever, Like,
tell me a real misstep she's made. And when you

(06:20):
were twenty three years old, guy or girl, like you
do stupid shit all the time. I know, I remember
I did stupid shit all the time. So I just
I thought today we should take a snapshot of right
now and realize how impactful this woman is. She's made us,
She's made us legitimately sit down and watch the last

(06:43):
two final fours. She's made the WNBA a talking point
when it was simply.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
It was a punchline. In the past. We paid more
attention to the fact she wasn't.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
With the US women's national team than the actual women's
national team. Like, there are so many different parts about it.
And honestly, you know, there are other beautiful women in
the WNBA, but they've kind of embraced a bit of
femininity which didn't previously exist. And I'd actually give her

(07:19):
credit there because she is kind of girl next door.
I want you to be honest with yourself when you're
listening to this, Okay, that I'm gonna guess if you
would go back three years ago, and I would say,
there's a young woman from Iowa who is going to
become the biggest story in sports for probably I don't know,

(07:43):
four or five weeks over the next two years, you
would say, and she would be an absolute superstar. And
she is of slightly above average height, you know, slightly
above average athleticism, way above average in terms of basketball skill.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
She is.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
She seems like a nice person, but she seems completely
and totally normal. My daughter is eighteen, like I feel
like she's as much like Caitlyn Clark as any human
being who's ever been in the news. And I have
to tell you it's a it's a complete breakthrough in
the world of sports. Anyone who says otherwise, I believe

(08:30):
is lying to themselves or just you just want to
create some sort of Hey, I don't like women's sports
because the athletes are not that of the men's.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Of course they're not. They're not supposed to be.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
But I just I thought of January twenty second, what
does it represent. It's a great time to take a
snapshot and say, can you believe what Caitlyn Clark has
done to the sports world? And there's no I, no
way could I have ever seen this coming, nor could
anybody else.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
Be Sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Let's get to what the Fox Said and Now.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Every day at this time, the Doug Gotlib Show in
the Bonus podcast and play for you a portion of
a previous show Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports One. We
call it what does the Fox Say? This is Dan
Patrick talking about uh, the one voter who decided not
to vote for each hero Suzuki to be a Hall

(09:43):
of Famer.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
Each Heiro no brainer? But then apparently was it a
brainer because somebody decided not to vote for each hero.
They should come come forward, tell us why you didn't
vote for each ero. I'd like to understand these trends,
like why is somebody Billy Wagner is a Hall of
Famer in his last year of eligibility. Why was he

(10:06):
a Hall of Famer? That's what I'm always curious about.
He didn't play anymore baseball. Last I looked, he didn't
play anymore baseball. PAULI check, did Billy Wagner play any
more baseball?

Speaker 5 (10:16):
I got nothing?

Speaker 4 (10:16):
Okay, But you get to this point and it's you know,
the writers of the gatekeepers here. So if you're going
to have a powerful position, then I'd like to know
where you stand on somebody. And I think that when
I voted for the NBA, I had no problem my voting,
and I made it public and did I get roughed
up in Salt Lake when I didn't vote for Karl

(10:38):
Malone or in Phoenix when I didn't vote for Barkley. Yes,
but it goes along with the territory.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Yeah, I'm with Dan on this one. I mean, why
do we do?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
Why does Baseball do such stupid shit? Is it is
a Hall of Famer? Yes, I'm completely with Dan on this.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Well, here's the issue. There is one voter that didn't
vote for each row, and Dan's making the plea that
he should come forward, or even so, the Hall of
Fame should compel the writer to come forward, because first,
it's a knock on his judgment. Should he have a vote?

(11:19):
If you're not voting each row first ballot, should you
have a vote? And if if anything else, explain why
you don't think he's a Hall of Famer on the
first ballot that I can't think of one, to be honest,
he never won a World Series. I don't know, but
I would. I think that if the voting is going

(11:39):
to be as transparent as it is, and I think
I want to say Baseball is the only one that
actually like publishes the percentages. You know, we all know
who came close and who didn't. So take it a
step further and compel the voter to come forward.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I'm with you, I'd come forward. Just answer as to why.
What is your logic behind it? Bob Bryan just tweeted out.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
That you should lose your vote.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Yes you know, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
this is dumb.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
Let's stop doing dumb stuff.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Here's LaVar Arrington talking about the Kansas City Chiefs and Pat.
What makes Pat Mahomes truly special within their offense?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
How fast?

Speaker 5 (12:22):
Is he?

Speaker 6 (12:22):
Not fast at all? Can you cover him?

Speaker 5 (12:24):
Sure?

Speaker 6 (12:24):
Why can't you cover him?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (12:27):
Is he he like the way he changes direction? I
think he's a long strider. I think that's what it is,
because you think he looks slow and he's not as
fast as he once was. But he's not that slow either,
because he gets way more yards than you think he's
going to get.

Speaker 6 (12:42):
I just think that his his his connection with Patrick
Mahomes is one hundred percent the reason for both of
their success. The fact that he can buy enough time
to give Kelsey the ability to run different routes like
just baseasically, just keep running and find an open space,

(13:03):
settle in the space and I'm gonna get you the ball.
That just seems to be the relationship, like they're on
the same page. And I think that that's really what
it comes down to. Like everybody talks about how you know,
you know, Steph Curry changed the way basketball is played.
You know, you look to shoot from further out than
you did in years past, where it's like you go

(13:24):
through the big man. I feel like in football, you
want to look for a mobile quarterback or quarterback that
can buy enough time, that has the best type of
relationship with his best receiver, and that receiver is just
to find the open space and settle in.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
I mean, is that amazing?

Speaker 8 (13:40):
Right?

Speaker 2 (13:40):
It's we make it about a bunch of other things,
but it's really about like the Chiefs run six basically
like six plays, but they dial them all up differently,
and they have all sorts of different speed wide receivers,
but really all they're trying to do is create a
mismatch and find find Travis Kelcey over the middle.

Speaker 3 (13:59):
And then it's.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
The simplicity and execution and the relationship between the two
kind of hard argue against. Here's Colin Cowhert talking about
Ben Johnson's chances of turning the Bears around.

Speaker 9 (14:10):
But he's got a full pantry in a great kitchen.
And if you go look, what really is true is
that if you just look at the two teams that
were in worse shape than Chicago Washington this year. I mean,
Washington's roster coming into the season is significantly lower PFF
than Chicago's. That Ben Johnson will get and he's got

(14:32):
he's got six seven draft picks to add and free agents.
And Houston was a laughing stop ownership down. And they
both gave you blueprints. For instance, Washington fixed the offensive line,
then they brought in like smart, savvy veterans Bobby Wagner,
Zach Ertz, Marcus Mariota. So you don't even have to

(14:54):
if you're Ben Johnson, you don't even have to be original.
You can just steal what Washington did. You have a
mobile quarterback, your O line needs upgrading, Go add sprinkle
in a couple savvy veterans, stir, put it in the oven,
let it bake, and it should work.

Speaker 3 (15:15):
Well, that's it, that's all you gotta do.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, look, they were actually very very close to being
a good football team this year. I mean, if we're
realistic about it. Right after that debacle where they lost
to the to the Commanders, they fell apart, but so
many close games. I think a lot of it is
cleaning up some of that little stuff. And then the

(15:37):
feeling is if you can make life easier for your
quarterback to where he improves, and then you know, what
do you hire on defense? Do you fix some pieces?
But they gave him good weapons. Need to continue to
tweaking the offensive line so that it gets better and
his chance of success. I guess the problem with it is,

(15:59):
has anybody I've seen the schedule and we don't know,
so we don't know how good these teams are going
to be this coming year, right for being fair about that.
But here's who they're going to cross over against. They're
going to play the Cowboys, the Giants, who you think

(16:20):
that's a game you can win? Cleveland Browns again Deshaun
Watson or what do they do at quarterback? Pittsburgh Steelers,
New Orleans Saints down. They have the Ravens next year,
they have the Bengals next year, they have the Raiders
next year, they have the Eagles next year, Niners, Commanders.

(16:42):
I think the biggest issue what the NFC North is
they went from the easiest schedule to probably the hardest schedule,
and you'll probably see, you know, like Minnesota, are they
gonna be working in a new quarterback. Detroit they're working
in two new coordinators, and the Bears will have an

(17:04):
entirely new coaching staff. I think it's gonna be fascinating
the entire division, But your expectations should be tempered by
the fact that they go from the easiest.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Schedule to probably the hardest. That's what the Fox Say.

Speaker 9 (17:19):
Say.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Let's find out who were what is annoying Jason Stewart.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
And now it's your annoying.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
Hey, Doug, you been to Starbucks slightly?

Speaker 8 (17:48):
I have.

Speaker 5 (17:50):
I've been three times since the turn of the year,
so they get rid of the holiday cups and on
three separate occasions, it's a twenty second of January. Three
separate occasions, I have had leakage in my cups. This morning,
I went to grab my cup out of my coffee

(18:12):
holder in my car. I squeezed it a little bit
and the top flew up, spelling coffee all over my leg.
Now we've heard about Starbucks struggling a little bit. If
you notice, they started doing TV ads, which is never
a great sign. And then we saw that report a
couple of weeks ago where they're not just gonna let

(18:33):
vagrants live there anymore. They're not you can't loiter in
Starbucks and use their bathrooms because people were turned off
by that. For some reason. I have another way of
turning off customers, burning the shit out of their legs.
If they're cutting corners and they somehow are trying to

(18:56):
cut costs and buy cheaper and cups, I would say this, However,
many people were turned off by the fact that homeless
people would live in your store and they wouldn't enter
the store because of that. You're gonna get people just
going across the street to your coffee bean, or even

(19:18):
maybe even supporting their local coffee shop. If if your
cups start spelling on customers.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, I mean, I guess, I guess. The thing is this,
you know that's that was part of the story. Do
you remember the McDonald's lawsuit. Do you remember that with
the with the coffee spilling on the lady.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Jason, No, I do.

Speaker 5 (19:46):
She won the lawsuit, right, yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
And it was Liebeck versus Milwaukee, Okay, and what uh
it was a seventy nine year old woman named Stella Libeck.
I only know I know this just just so aware
because my business law professor at Oklahoma State and Yurick
told the story right, because at the time when it

(20:11):
first came out, people thought it was a bunch of bullshit, right,
and Libec's attorneys argued that the coffee was one hundred
and eighty to one hundred ninety degrees and she was
awarded one hundred and sixty thousand dollars to cover medical
expenses and two point seven million impunitive damages, the equivalent

(20:37):
of two days of McDonald's coffee sales. And then eventually
it was reduced to six hundred and forty thousand dollars.
But the point is that.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
There was a hot coffee. I don't know if you
ever saw.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
I was on HBO they had a hot Coffee documentary
and it talked about the Libett case and it talked
about tort reform. But the point is that, like, look, dude,
there is a temperature that's too hot. Now, I will
give Starbucks this credit. They have this quartado now brown
sugar cortado oat milk, and it's a special way of
a short pull. It's really good and it's small. Now,

(21:15):
I had got away from Starbucks for the most part,
unless my kids because they still drink it. Would drink coffee.
It's the only thing that now brings me back. But yeah,
that hot coffee stuff can cost you millions if not.
Because she suffered third degree burns over six percent of
her skin, right, that's crazy, like third degree burns. So yeah,

(21:36):
there's a potential lawsuit in there for you.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
Okay. So Jack Flaherty on his Twitter, he was basically
just I think he was sick of people cluttering his
timeline with Dodgers have ruined baseball. So let me call
up his exact tweet, and it kind of proves my
point about this whole thing. I don't know what makes
a person say that Dodgers have ruined baseball. Maybe they're

(22:02):
the baseball's financial system that has zero cap restraints is
ruining baseball. But the Dodgers are playing within the rules.
This is Jack Flaherdy. A certain team is not ruining baseball.
A lot of other teams are just doing very little.
And that kind of goes back to my point, would

(22:23):
you rather the Dodger ownership group just pocket the revenues?
They are putting profits, immense profits that they've been making
on this team over the last five to ten years.
They're putting it back into the payroll. They're reinvesting into
their team. I don't understand the notion that the Dodgers

(22:44):
are ruining baseball. Help me figure this out.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
I don't think you need to spend any time. I don't.

Speaker 2 (22:52):
I don't think you need to spend any time with it.
I honestly, Jason, I think you're wasting your time. Like
their successful organization that's trying to continue to be successful,
trying to continue to push it forward. They're operating very
well within the rules. What's there to figure out?

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Right?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
What is there to figure out? Red Sox has spent
a ton of money, haven't won haven't won shit? Uh
really since THEO left right. Cubs have spent a bunch
of money since THEO won a World Series and then
haven't been able to straighten that thing out. Yankees have
spent a bunch of money they have yet to win
a World Series. They finally got to one last year

(23:31):
with this kind of new with this new group. I
don't you're I'm wasting your trying time trying to figure
out who's ruining baseball whatever. I don't don't care, honestly,
I mean it, don't fucking care.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
So Danny Hurley last night, and I want to get
the quote right because I don't know if it was
actually caught on.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Yeah, I don't know if that's what he said. I
don't know if that's what I don't know if that's
what he said, I'm the best fuck coach in the
game or.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
Something like that.

Speaker 5 (24:02):
Yeah, don't turn away from me. I'm the best fucking
coach in the game. So, so he was asked about
that comment afterwards, and he didn't deny it.

Speaker 8 (24:12):
Did I say that? Yeah, I mean, I know, we
you know, I'm gonna sound like an asshole here, so
the TV likes me. Camera, I bet you I'm gonna
have the gas. I'll release it to the media too.
Was what was the game on today? Was on f
S one. I just, you know, I just wish they'd

(24:34):
put the camera on the other coach more, you know, obviously.
I had a moment where coach dad mana today because
he was so far out of the box that I
figured I would just go over and have a pow
wow at him and Pat, you know, But like, I
just wish they would show these other coaches losing their
minds at the officials in other Big East games that

(24:55):
I'm coaching, where I look going into a timeout when
I'm not talking to officials, I see the other coaches
as demonstrative as I am. But you know, the camera obviously, Yeah,
I've created this for myself. I'm not a victim, but
I just wish that they would not have the camera,
I mean, ninety percent at a time unless they feel

(25:16):
like it's driving ratings and more assholes on Twitter that
could put clips of me from a game and may
look how big of a monster he is. He's yelling
at a ref again, what a monster?

Speaker 5 (25:29):
I guess what annoys me about this? And I watched
the rest of the press conference just to make sure
there was no follow up on that. So he was
asked if he said that, and then he just kind
of laughs. So he actually said that to a referee,
but there really wasn't any follow up, like do you
really believe that or like, is that something you say often?

(25:51):
Like to me, I understand that cussing is one thing,
or calling the referee and mother efforts another thing, about
like don't turn your back on the best fucking coach
in the country, even if it's true. That just to
me that it took a little bit more follow up
for my taste in the press conference.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Yeah, I would say this.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
The here's where I feel like, obviously Danny's been way
more successful than I've yet to be. Okay, But I
completely understand a bunch of things about Danny in that
I remember his first year at Yukon he articulated something
that I feel, which is.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
Have fun.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Now just wait, once we get this shit going, we'll
be fine, you know.

Speaker 3 (26:42):
And he's right.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
The camera does love him and he has to know
he actually First of all, Danny's a friend of mine.
We played against each other in college. I idolized his brother.
I always felt for how he was. I thought he
was terribly treated by fans when when we played against
them in college, even even at Notre Dame, even though
they were home fans. I thought there people were just

(27:05):
assholes to them. But look, he loses his mind sometimes
and he's able to get away with it because he's
won the last two national championships, and you know, I've
I've had times in which I've had people close to
me like, hey, dude, you know, like my thing with
with my sideline demeanor, which is generally really solid, is

(27:28):
that my players are young. And I actually I think
this is a strength. I'd be interesting for me to
talk to other coaches because when when I'm good, they're good.
When I get fucking pissed, they lose, They lose their
confidence that were very connected that way. I view that
as a good thing. It means I have to monitor

(27:49):
it a little bit better. Danny's deal is like they
all feed off his energy. Like Yukon students, Yukon's players,
even though they've won the last two national championships, you
go go back to last year and they felt like
he made it like it was us against the world.
The refs are always out to get us. And it
makes his kids. I think it gives it hardens them

(28:11):
and gives them a mental toughness. I truly believe that's
kind of an underlying philosophy that he has. But I'll
tell you this like the referee thing, dude, it was
fucking embarrassing. Friday night, We're playing at home against Robert Morris,
and as you guys know because you were at the
Santa Barbara game, I lost my best player, Anthony Roy.

(28:32):
I mean, he's twenty seven points a game. He hasn't
played since, you know, midway point of that game when
he sprained his ankle, so you take that off. And
then Yonatan Levy, who's our big guy who just arrived
from Israel, he didn't play that night because he heard
his hip flexer, so we didn't know what we're going
to have till game time. We're up seventeen at home,

(28:54):
and we're down ten to two in fouls and each
it's it's not the issue is not just the an
individual call. The issue is, hey, what's the exact same
play at one end is not the exact same play
at the other end, you know, And it does feel
like I do feel like like Danny, I feel like
I'm being targeted. And I have been nothing but kind

(29:16):
and respectful to guys, you know, I try not to.
I got one technical foul, and I got a technical
foul for stepping out in the court and I you know,
there was another game we played Northern Kentucky. I should
have gotten thrown out. It was fucking like well, I
don't know if I sent it to you guys. I
have a compilation about eight or nine calls which are
fucking embarrassing.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
They're so bad, so bad.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
And what happens is like the guys that have been
doing it a long time, they're able to get away
with a whole lot more. Or maybe they call the
conference commissioner whatever. I've called my conference commissioner once. Julie's wonderful.
She doesn't necessarily handle the deficiating. And I just said Julie, like, look,
I I'm guarded against losing my mind over this shit,

(29:57):
but I'm gonna lose my mind over this ship because
it's just not fair.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
What are the players? So I actually.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Understand the officiating thing, and I also understand where Danny's
coming from, where he feels like it's it's like a
gift and a curse. Right, people are going to pay
attention more to me, like you said, like you and
I talked about in the pod two days ago or
three days ago, whatever, than they are somebody else when
it's going good that's all good. When it's not, it
feels like piling on, which it really is. So I

(30:25):
actually understand that. So what's the annoying part though, that
nobody followed up about his his quote.

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Well, he made it about the camera's always been on him,
but he never explained himself about the comment. Like, there
wasn't any follow up about it. I'm the best fucking
coach in the country. I love That's what he was
asked about.

Speaker 2 (30:42):
And then and I do love that quote, right because honestly,
if you went back to back national championships, come hard
to argue, right, isn't it. But and also like you
got to have you've got to have some swag with
your dudes, man, like this hall a g shucks, I'm
just okay. Thing doesn't work, doesn't work, You gotta have

(31:05):
a little swagger. So I don't mind it, but you're right.
It was definitely a missed opportunity where no one followed
up and asked them about it.

Speaker 5 (31:12):
So that part of the Hurly exchange the Dodgers are
ruining baseball, people and Starbucks cups.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
I think it's pretty easy. I think people saying the
Dodgers are ruining baseball like, Hey, how about this, assholes?
You were making fun of the Dodgers for not winning
a World Series outside of COVID up until this year.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
Which is it?

Speaker 2 (31:39):
Are they ruining baseball or are they just dramatically underachieving
in choke artists?

Speaker 3 (31:43):
You can't have it both ways. So yeah, all those
people can fuck off? Right? Can fuck off?

Speaker 2 (31:48):
You're allowed Walmart, Amazon, Netflix, They're allowed to grow their business.
Why aren't the Dodgers all those people that are saying
they're ruining baseball?

Speaker 1 (32:03):
You're no, why are we doing this?

Speaker 6 (32:09):
I do.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Because we can.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
I'm just gonna assume that the average listener to this
podcast has the same kind of level of knowledge about basketball.
I had to look this up. Rob Dillingham is a
rookie player for the t Wolves.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (32:28):
Drafted by the Spurs eighth overall. He played for Kentucky
a year ago. I know you're you're very familiar with him.
I just wanted to make sure the listeners are aware.
He was standing next to Anthony Edwards talking about Anthony
Edwards and how much confidence you need to shoot the ball.

Speaker 10 (32:47):
Shit I learned from and every day all these dudess
feel like mainly because it's like you see it firsthand,
like if he missed, he missed, Like you're gonna shoot
that shit again. So like it just show you, like, bro,
no matter what happened to you, and you got keep
going and that shit might not go away every time,
but you're never gonna even be in that position if
you don't even put those over in that position to
breck up.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
So it's so true, it's I mean, I mean, half
of your life has decided based upon your love of confidence.
And as a shooter in basketball, you have to have
an obscene amount of self confidence. Truthfully, you honestly have

(33:27):
to believe that anytime you shoot the ball, it's going
in or you. If you don't believe in it, nobody
else will. I love that cut, I truly do. Why
do we play it for you? Because we can? All Right,
that's it for In the bonus, check out the radio
