from LA at C and R. If you were with
(02:08):
us yesterday. We appreciate you guys hanging every day. I
said that I had a baseball practice with my kids, Yeah,
and twelve parents. The assignment was bring a check for
the league and a birth certificate copy of your kid. Okay,
and we set the over under at I believe what
seven and a half or eight?
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, it was seven and a half.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I said, I forget what I said, but I guaranteed
that a few people would definitely forget it.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Felt like some parents might bring one or the other,
but not both. Right, So I said seven.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
I must have the most responsible parents on this team.
I got eleven out of twelve, and the twelfth went home,
got it and brought it back.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Wow, that's unbelievable. Maybe they are just scared of coach Dickey.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, they know not to cross fsr's number one winning
as coach.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Maybe you're laying Matt.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Does Isaac know that that I'm the number one winning
his coach on Fox Sports Radio?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Do you know this?
Speaker 5 (03:04):
I'm gonna have to look into the Fox Sports Radio
record books, which we actually keep in a binder in
the back.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
No, that's a binder full of women. Yeah that's Dan again.
Romney I'm a binder women.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's great my candidates.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So hey, I just wanted to give you the payoff
of that the overhit if you if you bet on
that at.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Draftkaings nice man.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Well, maybe, like I said, maybe you just lead with
such authority and you're so commanding of that's got to
be the team, you know. Maybe you're just such that guy,
you're like coach. You're not coach ball game. But maybe
you're just the coach of the year. I don't know,
great stuff. I wanted to bring one other thing up
(03:47):
before we got into the Knicks because that's a story today, right,
Nicks extending the Eastern Conference Finals. I was gonna say,
I hope you had a Knick sort of night. There's
so much a Zion Williamson's sort of mourning. Yeah, Ion
sort of day. I'm on a buzz about what could
the Knicks really do from this point on. But I
had to ask you one quick thing because I'm wearing
my Travis Matthew Met shirt today.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
My sports collection.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
It's a dope shirt except for that logo stop it
the Mets logo, Travis Matthew logo.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Sweet. They're playing the Rockies today, and I bring this
up because the Rockies are nine and forty seven. Oh,
did you see the stat that they're.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Winning percentages under two hundred, Like they are gonna be
the worst of all time.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
No, there's a stat. Let me see, I'm gonna find it.
Keep going, I'll find it.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
I was just gonna say, does there a couple point
where you start to feel a little bad for this team?
Because I looked at the starting pitching matchup tonight, Because
usually the money line for a baseball game the most
you'll see, Like, let's say the Yankees are throwing their
ace and they're playing like a bunk team. It might
be like minus one eighty, right the Mets tonight minus
three ten. The pitcher for the Rockies, Kyle Freeland. It's
(04:57):
only May, guys. You think Toto breaks out of a
slump in this series.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Or you don't break out against the rocketes.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Hey, they did surprise Covino Yankees, they did win one there. Yeah,
here's that stat.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Es. This this is insane.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Wins since the start of the MLB season Nuggets ten,
Rockies nine.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Oh my god, it's embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's insane that this pitcher, who you've heard of, Kyle
Freeland of the Rockies. You're on such a bad team
that it's not even June first yet. And imagine you're
a starting pitcher and you're throwing up an zero to
seven so far, that's like, that's really upsetting, throwing up
Feel bad for him. I think the Savannah Bananas could
(05:40):
probably beat that thing. Your little league team, right, you
know what might win West Hill's five U T ball.
It's possible. Best all right, So last night last night,
San Pedro, No, last night was great for Knicks fans.
The Pacers just look like they weren't confident from the
get go. They never had a lead. Nicks dominated the game.
(06:02):
It was just fun to watch. It's fun to see
all the guys step up when it mattered. It's three
two pacers. Now can they win? Here's the question. Do
you think they could win Game six in Indiana? Take
it back to the Garden Game seven on Monday? Do
you think they could do it? Based on what you
saw yesterday? Based on what you saw yesterday, I think
you can. If you could silence Haliburton the way they
(06:23):
defended him and kept him quiet, that was the whole trick.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
That was the whole key right there.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
If they could do that again somehow, some way and
all their big guys step up, they could definitely win
Game six, and then hey, it's anybody's game Game seven,
but it's at the garden advantage Nicks. Oh, Let's keep
in mind that the Knicks in the Pacers regular season
were within one game of each other. It's not like
one was a sixty five win team and one was
like a five hundred team.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
That just got in.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
It's always whoever's hot, right, they were within one game
of each other adjustment, so similar success this season. This
series is going to obviously Game six. I think the
Knicks could do it, and I think there's just a
ton of pressure on Indiana because if you somehow let
Game six slip through the cracks the vibe and pressure
(07:11):
and anxiety, anxiety, anxiety, well, he's gonna go through the roof.
If you're a Pacer going back to Madison Square Garden
for a Game seven with you know, Ben Steelers big
head and you know Timothy Shallow may make it out
with Kylie, generally, it's gonna be insane in the Garden.
So Indiana has to act like tomorrow's Game seven, even
(07:35):
though it's Game saying they need to act like this
is this is it. You do not want to go
back to Madison Square Garden and Danny, I don't want
to talk about both sides of my mouth, but I said, Okay,
se is gonna whoop either one of these teams. The
only advantage one of these Eastern Conference teams could have
is that they can be playing with such heart and
intensity after this series where Oklahoma City has been sitting
(07:55):
around for eight days before Game one. Okay, see Domini
a lot of Eastern Conference teams this season.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, I'm but I'm still not buying that. Suddenly they're
this juggernaut slash dynasty that even rich. You kind of
made it sound that way yesterday. But just a few
weeks ago when we filled in on the Colin Cowherd show,
I gave you the storylines for the Western teams at
the top, and you didn't take the thunder. You said
they're inexperience. I'm not buying into them. So people have
(08:23):
gone from not buying into them to oh, they're going
to just steamroll any team from the East.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, this is where I think we disagree with Danny.
G Maybe I'm drinking the Stephen a kool aid, which
I don't normally do. But he's such a Nicks guy, right,
Even he's saying today, even if they do beat the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh, it was like said sub dude, Stephen, even if
they do, but.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
He's talking about shot. He's talking about the Knicks having
no shots.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Against Nicks, even if they beat the Pacers, but Cove,
they aren't gonna have any shot whatsoever. And that's kind
of how I feel. So I feel like he's just
validating what I say. See and the eye test tells
me that Okac's playing younger, hungry, or stronger and more
like a team than the Knicks. I feel like the
Knicks are making adjustments and figuring it out, and Okay,
(09:11):
See's just steamrolling through everybody.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
I could be wrong.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
We always say it's the most cliche thing in sports,
but styles make fights. Yeah, maybe they do compete with OKAC,
but I do feel that way as of now because
we've seen them struggle so much with Indiana.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, I was gonna say, you're talking about and Steven A.
Smith is talking about the Knicks. Okay, but the Pacers
match up well with OKC, yes, because they have a
lot of scoring power, and they can lock down that
defense same way as Okac.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
They're very similar. I think the Knicks could win in Indiana.
I think they could take it back to the Garden.
I think they could take it all the way again.
If you shut out Haliburton again, what do you have
eight points? Siakam, who we're going to talk about, was
the leading scorer had fifteen points. We're gonna talk about
him in a minute. If they're able to he could
force it, Dude, if they could force it, I don't
(09:58):
know if they could be okay c as of now.
And that's where Danny g and I disagree. And I
want to believe what Danny. You believes that the Knicks
still could win. You know what they say, though they
say the Nion lines up Bride have the okase thunder
own broad ever played at Madison Square Garden in the
NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't care. You know you're thinking the pressure is gonna.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Get it and again, sitting on your ass for eight
days is a long time.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But hey, this great storyline.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
It would surprise me if the Pacers come out with
a bad game like that at home Saturday, that would
surprise me. And I'm not saying The Knicks are destined
to lose for sure, but the Pacers are not going
to look like the way they did yesterday.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
I think the Knicks also have to play defense way
they play defense, but come off.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Can Yes, and Cat needs to have a big game
if they're gonna win in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Play like a big man.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
He had twenty four points in the win, but again
his defense was strong and they never let the Pacers
get a lead like they hit him early with I
always compare everything to fighting rich because it's a battle.
That's why we watched that Ryan Garcia fight. When he
gets hit early, that's it. The rest of the fight
is over. After that, he could never really find his
(11:11):
feet and get back into the fight. The Knicks hit
them so early and took such an early lead. Pacers
never able to gain ground and ever able to close
it closer. So again, one eleven ninety four Knicks Pacers,
they're showing that fight. I think they win game six.
I think we'll have a game seven. How could you
not root for that? I mean, playing from behind stinks,
(11:31):
that's the thing. And never were able to catch up
out in any sport like there's that. You know if
you're down fourteen to nothing in the NFL, It's oh god,
that's in the first quarter. If you're a baseball fan
and your team's down five to nothing in the third inning,
you it's just like a terrible pressure, weird feeling about
playing from behind. And you're right, INDIANAFLT that way. It
seemed the whole night team that way. You know, it'll
(11:52):
be the biggest buzzkill unless you're an Indiana Pacers fan.
Imagine the Knicks went a close one in Indiana and
the Pacers win, like in the fourth in the fourth
quarter at the Garden.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
Didn't the Pacers win two games to start the series
in New York?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (12:09):
Yeah, so they First of all, I think the Pacers
win it on Saturday. I think you tires Haliburton coming
off of a really mid game. He's gonna bounce back
with it.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
He was a weak game. It was weak. It was
it was out of it was out of body also, and.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I was that was coming off of his perfect games.
He's streaky like that. The eye test means nothing, it
really doesn't. But what I saw is a little bit
of worry in their faces. That's how I felt, you know,
maybe because they're playing at home, and again pressure is
starting to kick in. I felt like Haliburton's like, damn,
what is going on here?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
And but then.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
These guys are playing tough. The Knicks are tough. We
knew that and would he have Brunt said thirty two
points last night? But again, playing big that's the thing
when it matters. So the question here do you think
the Knicks could win in Indiana? Do you think they can?
And if they do and end up winning this whole thing,
do you think they could compete with OKAC?
Speaker 1 (13:04):
At this point? I think, really what it is?
Speaker 2 (13:06):
I think that's the only circumstances He says, Yes, I say,
I'm scared.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
I don't know, I'm scared of OKC.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I think it's the only circumstance in which they could compete, meaning,
I think fresh momentum. Just if you win in seven
games at home, you're gonna be playing with a confidence
of weird excitement, like you like, the season never stops OKC.
Now some teams are fine with this, but again, eight
(13:34):
days between their win to clinch the Western Conference and
Game one of the NBA Finals, that's eight days.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
That's it's a lot of sitting around. You know what.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
A little bit of rust versus a team that is
on a high thinking rich, we could run through a
brick wall right now after that competitive series.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
And like you said, pressure of the bright lights in
the big moment, these young guys have to face the
fact that, wow, everyone's expecting us to win, and if
we do win, we're the next big dynasty. Where the
next Golden State Warriors, We're the next sort of I'm
hearing a lot of Spurs comparisons because they're so fundamentally
good and kind of boring a little bit. But where
that next team. So maybe that pressure adds up and
(14:14):
works against them. I don't know, but I've seen it
so good all season. They've been the team to beat
Ken the Knicks compete with them if they make it.
We've seen it in pro sports. I've seen it in
kids sports where d yes, the good team gets a bye,
and these kids are saying, you know, like I said,
even when I coach kids, the better team gets to buy.
They're sitting around the team that played the early game
has to play again in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
By the time they play that final game, these kids
are like you would think they're tired, but they're pumped up.
They're having fun.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Meanwhile, the other kids just stroll up, you know, with
their little gatoring like all right, I'm ready to play.
They're not ready to play. And I think OKC might
be a little rusty. And that's the only chance an
Eastern Conference team has the end of that. But there's
a funnier story that came out of last night. But dude,
how are you not pumped? And I want everybody to
realize that if you're a casual fan, if you're not
(15:03):
tuning in on Saturday to watch the nixt Pacers, then
where you are symbols on my knees like a little
monkey n you collective you. I'm talking to the Fox
Sports Radio Nation. I'm talking to the people who are like, yeah,
you know, maybe I'm going to take a costco run
on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
No, you're watching the Knicks Pacers.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Man, this is the game that's Saturday and if they win,
they play again on Monday at the garden. How could
you not be rooting for that? This is drama, drama show.
And Okay, see's sitting there waiting, Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
No, all right, so tell me.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Oh no, I just realized the time of the game
and something I have to do.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Five o'clock on the West Rich the Christly reruns? Can wait?
Is it Christly Marathon? Since he's pardoned live from prison
notmore release. He's out there, you know, making press conference.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
You're at the butcher shop. You know who's next?
Speaker 1 (16:04):
No, I just realized that I'm going to a six
forty five showing of Lee, Low and Stitch with my kids. Bro,
how do you do? How did that happen? Yeah? Why
do you let that happen? If you know such a
big game as move it Up, Move it Up? What
are they gonna complain? I booked the tickets like you're
earlier online.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Didn't you have faith in the idone? I think you
could trade the tickets in for a different showtime.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Stuff happening not happening. There's not a chance he's not
going to go with other kids, is it? Can I
sound like a hassle? Can I put my phone like
on very low brightness and just watch silently. You're in
the top corner of the theater. We are in the
back row. We're in the back row.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
If there's no one behind you, maybe behind you old
man ear pieces that they listened at the game, you know,
with like the ear piece. I'll be like Steve Barton. Yeah,
in the movie The Department.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
All right, well, hey, big game Saturday, you gotta be watching.
But last night there was something wild that happened, and Sam,
you my favorite George W.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Bush quote fool we wants? Uh what is it? Shame on?
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You can't can't be fooled again? One of my favorites
out of the why that makes me laugh so much.
That's watch shame on, shame on you.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
We can't get fooled again. My first favorite clip is
when didn't someone throw a shoe at at him?
Speaker 6 (17:23):
Yes, in a rock doing like a press conference and
some guy throw a shoe I missed.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Terribly showed me once. Shame on you shoot me again.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
You're gonna need some new shoes.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
The best clip, hilarious. I just thought this was wild.
This Siakam clip last night. There's a reporter that asks,
like almost like a bonehead question, almost insinuating, like you know,
playing hard. Dike a listen how much favorites? Then I
guess what did they do? Especially one did played harder
(17:57):
than us? I think I think they play harder than us.
You know, newsballs like rebounds like all that we gotta
be able to win that battle. Can you make sense
of it for the bother of us go playing games
level like you know what it was day he was saying,
they played hard for you guys. You fight him hard, melt,
How is that? How is that they played harder than Uh?
(18:24):
It's okay, we played hard, but they played harder's what's
your point? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
I mean, is this guy overstepping here with that questioning?
Because it went pretty viral yesterday. Now what makes it
interesting is you know this guy, this is not a
one time doozy. This is a fool me once it
was a shame. Can't get fooled again. This is the
same guy.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Think about it, Indiana.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
It's the same guy that did that weird interaction with
Kaitlyn Clark, like, let me give you the heart symbol
and he's like, won't be okay if you you have
the clip of that Sam this guy.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Two for two. Hey, Caitlin, Greg Doyle, Indie Star, real quick,
let me do this.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
You like you?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Like that? I like that you're here, like that you're here.
I do that in my family after every game. So okay,
well we'll start doing it to me and we'll get
along just fine.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
So question, I mean, nothing he said was like over
the top. I mean, like, did we just make a
big deal about that? I think we did. Or does
the fact that he's the center of attention again last
night's game add to it? Like are we just mad
at this guy for being a bonehead? Is this guy's
a good columnist. I've read a lot of his stuff
over the years. He's just sort of pressing the issue.
(19:39):
I feel last night Sam got a little aggravated they.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Missed we missed the drop too in there because a
little later he says, you good.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Bro, Yeah, you're good bro.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I think the funny part is is that clearly this
guy must be who is this guy must be a
credible journalist enough Danny g to have covered you know, Pa.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
And to cover Kaitlyn Clark during her first year. But
it's just funny to think that the same what's the
chance of the same guy having like two cringey moments
to the point where everyone's like, who is this guy?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
And they're really not that bad moment? So do you
think he loves it or not? I would say, so,
what's he guilty of being a bonehead? I think you
can make him a bad guy.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
And how do you stand out as a reporter? I
guess so.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I feel like in the first one he was awkward.
I don't think he really crossed the line, but everybody
made such a big deal about it because Caitlyn Clark
is America's sweetheart, and everyone's like, how would he do that?
He made a heart symbol, She made the heart symbol,
and he was like, yeah, do that to me and
we're good.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
He didn't say in a creepy way. He said it
in a stupid way. Yeah. And then last night the
headlines were all that he was creepy.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Yeah, yeah, And I mean I could see that, but
it wasn't that big of a deal. And the Siakam
thing went to the point where again like Danny g said,
you good.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Bro, who is this guy? You're good?
Speaker 2 (20:56):
All he was doing is pressing the questioning, And when
you think about it, Siakam was honest. Nick's played harder
and he's basically saying, well, why is that?
Speaker 1 (21:05):
He said, is that possible? How is that possible? How
could you guys not be playing hard?
Speaker 6 (21:09):
This wouldn't have got the attention if Sam didn't have
that response. Some guys just take questions and they may
think they're stupid. They just answer them, you know, professionally.
But I'm not saying he didn't answer professionally. But let's
just give him a stock answer.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Move on. But it is the same guy. Well, let's
take something through it.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I just wanted to point that out because what's the
chance of the same reporter having two awkward womans. Some
people are just annoying and abrasive. He seems to be
one of those guys. But let me have been about
a calendar year. Let me ask this question just to
wrap it up. Is the question a bad question or not?
Can you ask someone if you lost, Like, let's say, Kavino,
you and I were competing in something I don't know,
(21:45):
but well point and pool, uh, you know, doing something
and you say, ah, they just played harder. Can you
question like, how is that possible? How could they play?
Shouldn't you be playing hard? Can you admit that someone
played harder? Is that like a weird admission? No?
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
But I also don't think it was wrong for the
guy to then press, well, what do you mean by that?
Were you guys not pumped for the game? Did you
guys think you didn't have to play hard? Were you
surprised by that? Like, I don't mind the guy pressing it.
What made it a thing was Siakam not liking being
pressed there and then saying then calling them out, and
it just so happens to be that same Caitlyn Clark guy.
(22:25):
As we're talking it out, Danny, g is it that
horrible of a question or is it a weird problem?
I'm really trying to figure it out, like because really
both stories that they're not that deep. It's just he
rubs people, seems to rub people the wrong way with
the question.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
And I think what plays into it too, Siakam was
just frustrated by the team's performance there, didn't close things out.
He already was in a bad mood obviously.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Yeah, because what what how do you how do you
really explain how they played how you lost?
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Offered a cliche answer, and when someone presses you and
wants you to like dissect it, they're like, well, I
can't really because it's like it's like they just wanted
it more like that's that's it.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
That's the end of the explanation, and then you're show
of being like And it also it's like why, and
then there's really no why. It's like, if you're Charles Barkley,
you could basically say whatever you want. At the end
of the game, you saw him talking to cal Anthony
Towns and car Anthony Towns is there with his cheetos out,
wearing his slides and being zesty as they say, and
(23:24):
I love him. I think he's great, by the way,
And Charles Barkley's like, yo, man, you're big dummy. He's like,
you gotta stop doing what you're doing. And he's like,
what do you mean, And yeah, he's just talking to him.
It's Charles Barkley, but it's Charles Barkley.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
So it matters.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
He's like making stupid fowls and me and Shaq and
Shaq is calling him out and they're telling him, look,
you can't be doing that moving forward, you big dummy.
Stop making stupid fouls, Stop making stupid passes. You know,
got to play big. You're the big man, and don't
be doing those stupid mistakes moving forward. But because of
Shaq and Barkley, it's okay. This guy asks a simple
(23:56):
question and the like, who.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Is this dude?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Tell him to beat it. It's not that big of
a deal, but it became a moment. What are your
thoughts on Greg Doyle And by the way, he may
be the biggest tool in the world.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I mean, I don't want to be defending him either,
but if you really break down what he's known for, man,
he got off easy in my opinion.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
I've heard Doyle rules. Yeah, Greg Doyle, he gets a
lot of attention for not really doing all that much.
So that and your thoughts on the Knicks. Could they
pull this off? Could they win in Indiana on Saturday?
And like we said yesterday, Danny j by the nixt winning,
they just gave us all something to look forward to
this weekend except for you. You'll be at the movies.
(24:40):
I'll be eating popcorn watching on a dim phone.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
That's Sunday. If they force a game seven, Game seven's
on Monday, right, Oh, I'm sorry. Game sevens on Monday, yes,
and Saturday, Game six Saturday Saturday six, and then seven
would be Monday. So you have the movie on Saturday. Yeah, okay,
I gotcha. Bad planning by rich Yeah, man Lelo and Richo. Hey,

where they drive so fast, and free back by free
(26:17):
Road has the protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation, tire rack, Tyraq, dot comy tire buying should
be So the Knicks we're looking bigger, better, faster, stronger
than the Pacers. Siakam even admitted it, he just didn't
want to talk about it or elaborate on it.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
And what do we learn so far?
Speaker 2 (26:34):
That the Knicks could win game six force a game
seven at the Garden, we reap all the benefits, but
even if they won, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Sure they could be OKC.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
However, Danny g says they can because styles make fights
and he's not buying into the OKC hype.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
That's what we've learned so far.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
We also learned that depending on who's coming from is
how you perceive the criticism where the questioning, and that
is the obvious, but it's also what's happening. When Shaq
and Charles Barkley are talking to the players after the game,
they could say whatever they want. They're Shaq and Charles Barkley.
When Greg Doyle presses Pascal Siakam, when he presses you
(27:19):
know's like, who's this guy?
Speaker 1 (27:20):
You? All right?
Speaker 2 (27:21):
You're good, bro, You're good bro, Like, who is this guy?
You're nobody from Nowhereville. You're not allowed to have a
follow up question when I say something vague or cliche.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
Yeah, actually.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
As an interviewer believe it or not, says it right
here in my business card, radio tycoon and celebrity interviewer.
Wouldn't you say that was a good follow up question? Like, well, well,
how could you it's a game five at home? How
could you let the Knicks play harder? But like you said,
you know that's not fair following and I'm glad you
made the distinction if that was said by Barkley or
(27:54):
Shaq goofing around like Jack and Barkley, we're telling colony
towns what not to do and what to do and yeah,
moving forward, so and again they have a different camaraderie.
They've earned that respect. I get all that. But what
this dude said, bonehead or not? And like I said,
he may be the biggest toolbag ever. I don't know him.
(28:15):
He really said wasn't that big of a deal. But
he finds his name in the headlines. Yet it's a
great lesson to be learning. Go around the room, Danny,
I was Sam Loewen Kron spotty. Don't you take advice
from some people and then other people you'd be like, yeah, yeah,
do you think I care what you said?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Yes? Think about here at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
I bet you can name the people you would genuinely
take advice from, and if someone else gave you advice,
you'd be like, yeah, great, right, I mean, yeah, it's true.
They don't like this Greg Doyle guy in Indiana. Apparently
that's really what it comes down through. You should take
his talents to South.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I don't think he's doing his job as a journalist,
as a sports journalist, like there's always been a war
between you know, sports media and the players. Like they're
just trying to squeeze answers out of these guys.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's their job. He seems little odd, like you said,
herbs you kind of weirdly.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
There's there's also some reporters, reporters Covino that are too
soft in the other direction, where there are obvious follow
up questions that they don't ask.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
So it goes both ways. Were they lob softball questions
of guys?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, I'll be honest, I can't get too because you
don't want to get kicked. You can't get two down
on this guy, Doyle, because I wouldn't want to be
bothering Siakam. That's why I'm not a journalist. That's why
I'm a you know, do a goofy talk show. Everything
they do interviews I do. Right, someone gives you a
weird answer, You're gonna it's just a natural question, what do.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
You mean by that?
Speaker 5 (29:35):
And sometimes you just catch them at a bad time,
in a bad mood for whatever reason. Because I've been
in literally hundreds and hundreds of these locker room, clubhouse
press conference situation.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Hello, I saw you in a documentary. If I'm not mistaken, Yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
Said, everybody a still photo of it in our group chet,
I appreciate you.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
With a microphone in Kobe's face, it looks like low
and Crown but way younger, waiting on my royalty this way.
That's a true story. What documentary was? That's the Kobe documentary.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
That was so cool to see Isaac lowan Crown with
the microphone right there listening to Kobe answer questions.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Very cool with thicker hair.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
Actually, I mean this happened once, including to literally Shack.
I once asked him a question and for some reason
it rubbed him the wrong way, and then yeah, basically.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
And then basically basically.
Speaker 5 (30:26):
Two minutes later, someone else asked basically the same question
using different words, and his mood had changed and he
gave a great answered.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
It happened.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
This happened to us once, and I swing I'm remembering
the story. But before that, I want to confirm something.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
Isaac. You're in the locker room. The thing most said
to you is eyes up here? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Actually I was saying it to them the other way around,
And to be honest, I didn't blame them.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You know if I'm wrong, correct me, Koch. Yeah, this
might have been fifteen years like early Covino and rich
we're in our early twenties. I feel like when we
were at Series XM, Denise Richards had been on the
Howard Stern Show, Yes, and she was talking about when
I tell you every dirty sexual story possible, and she
(31:15):
was just like, oh, Howard like dirty details.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
We were playfully asking similar quest.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Cavino asked her something playful about being in Maximer Playboy
and she's like, oh, do you have any class? Yeah?
It made it awkwards, like it's a source. Sometimes I suppose.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
It looks like she thought that you and you and
Rich were wild things.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Good one. Hey, you know what waiting? How can we
make him wait anymore? After that? Isaac lhoncraw, let's do
an updates, so Buddy our top story.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
Isaac Lahnkrahn just completely destroyed a very good Cavino and
Rich segment. A rep issued a statement saying, Isaac Lahnkrwn
regrets the air.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
It will be deleted from the podcast.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
Bro I'm afraid I am not and Shaq did indeed
say that. We will actually start with some developing Major
League Baseball news, the Atlanta Braves announcing a short time
ago that starting pitcher A. J. Smith Shaver has been
diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his pitching elbow.
The Los Angeles Angels today reinstated Mike Trout from the
(32:22):
injured list and one final score to pass along at
Wrigley the Cincinnati Reds over the Cubs six to two.
In the NFL, ESPN reported the forty nine ers working
to finalize a trade to acquire pass rusher Bryce Huff
from the Eagles for a mid round draft pick. On
Minnesota vikingsign GM quasi adofo mensa to a multi year
contract extension. Finally, in the NBA, the attorney four New
(32:45):
Orleans Pelican star Zion Williamson released a statement today responding
to a civil lawsuit that an unidentified woman filed in
Los Angeles Superior Court Thursday that accused Williamson of sexual
assault and physical, emotional and financial abuse during a multi
year ree relationship. Stated Rudd and Park, quote, we unequivocally
deny the allegations. This appears to be an attempt to
(33:06):
exploit a professional athlete driven by a financial motive rather
than any legitimate grievance. They never dated, but did maintain
a consensual, casual relationship that ended years ago. Unquote, guys
back to.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
You, Thank you, Isaac.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I'm looking up my new forty nine er huff inactive
for the Super Bowl. I was like, I was like,
I don't remember him being a factor down the stretch
injured last year, and I hopefully.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
It bounced back year for my forty nine ers. Thank you,
Isaac Loewincron.
Speaker 2 (33:36):
Thank you Isaac, and please let it be known that
we are having a World Series matchup tonight. How pumped
are you about that? I'm pretty pumped about it. You know,
we were talking a lot about the Knicks, but don't
let that go into the radar. Yankees Dodgers tonight. Oh, Danny,
go Dodgers. I could gain some ground in me and
(33:58):
Comito's bet good luck against Max Freed though that's the
guy right now, So it's Freed, Gonsolin.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
We'll talk more about it when Dodger the weekend. Hobno
Dodgers bullpen needs an ambulance standing by.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
Right, the Mets are Let's see what the Mets also
hyped about the NBA playoffs, which goes to show you
how great the NBA is when it comes down to it, right.
I got so many of my friends so pumped about
the Knicks this year. It's something we talk about every
night since they've went on this run. That we're not
even talking about the Yankees Dodgers yet.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
But we will.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Well, Hey, Yanks are a game and a half better
than my Mets, and I only bring that up because
could be known I have that thousand dollars bet. Yeah,
what team ends with a better record? And your Yankee
been hot man. They've won five in a row, nine
of their last ten, thirty five and twenty. Dodgers are
thirty four and twenty two. What are your Metsican, The
Mets are thirty four and twenty two, so a game
and a half same as the Dodgers. Yeah, Dodgers, Mets,
(34:48):
and look at the Ale and the NL. Though, who
the team's on top? It's the Tigers and the Phillies. Yeah,
the Tigers. They're saying, Glaber Taurus is having or he
could be an All Stars put it that way.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
He's having a good see man in the Phillies are
just Phillies seem unbeatable at times. They're filthy. Man.
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You know, not not to be baseball nerdy, but if
you're an NL fan like I am, Phillies, Mets, Cubs, Dodgers, Padres,
tell me that playoff scenario come October.
Speaker 1 (35:16):
I know we're still so far away, but what great
teams man, Mets, Phillies, your Dodgers' danyg and the Padres
and the Cubs who got young talent. That's the playoffs
and baseball We've said it, Cowherd said it like baseball
is going through a moment right now, baseball renaissance, and
it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
Yeah, it's back, and you know, what much like your
Yankees are in a weak al if you asked me,
Tigers are great. But besides that, your division all they
all under five hundred still.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Except the Yankees. Oh no, Tampa over five hundred.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
All right, Hey, we got more Covine on Rich and
I do want to talk some NFL if that's cool
with you guys. I think the Giants, the New York
Football Giants, made like the most foolish Asidine decision. And

Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals at Madison Square Garden
for the first time of the series with a seventeen
point victory final score one to eleven ninety four.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
Oh see, great, okay, nice, we could give them a
swigging in love that.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
So I said, I wanted to talk New York Football Giants.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
And by the way, we talked for one second about
the baseball Giants, Dandy j you scared of them? I
feel like they're hanging around, and I thought they'd simmered
down by now. But I thought it was Dodger's Padres
and the Giants. Somehow we're thirty one and twenty five.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Yeah, I know. My dude, Wilmer Flores is playing with
he's Aaron Judge.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Their organization has always been good at putting like blue
collar guys on the roster and then squeezing the most
out of them.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
Yeah, the Giants, that's a team of legacy, The New
York Football Giants, I feel like mixed in with the
little Phil Sims and Hostetler. When ELI wasn't winning, it
was like, suck Suck, suck ELI stuns the Patriots, Suck
Suck Suck ELI stuns the Patriots again. Suck and he
suck sucks uck. That's sort of the vibe you get
from our giant fan friends right.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
Now. Did the Giants make an asenine move? Let me explain.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
We all saw the footage a year ago, right remember
the the gm sun Joe Shaneson said go with Jamie Daniels.
Speaker 1 (39:01):
He didn't.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
Jayden Daniels becomes the star of their division for the
Washington Commanders.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
Then his son this year, Jackson.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Dart dead, and before they get Jackson Dart, they go
out and sign Russell mister unlimited Wilson. Then the most
likable funny dude in the NFL, Jamis Winston. And then
after doing all that, then they draft Jackson Dark. They
(39:31):
didn't release Tommy Collins yet, did that, and he's still
hanging around making hanging around. He's still making the charcuterie
board for everyone. Did request the trade or something like that.
He said that he's unhappy about it. And we've already
seen the pictures where they're making fun of Russell Wilson
for wearing football pants when everyone else is wearing shorts.
It's a pretty heavy, pretty stacked quarterback room. Russell Wilson's
(39:53):
done a decent job of campaigning. Though he was at
the Yankee Games in the dugown. He's wearing all Yankee gear.
He's mister New York again, mister unlimited. So he's out
there and about there embracing this New York spotlight. But
the question I want to ask everyone because I feel
that they just didn't think this through.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
I mean clearly.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
I mean, you could argue there's never such thing, no
such thing as a quarterback room that's too deep. Everyone
wants extra, you know, extra talent in that situation. But
Brian Dable seems to be in love. Why do birds
suddenly appear every time dart is knee here? He is
(40:32):
he seems like this is his like handpicked perfect quarterback.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
So then it poses the question, what are we gonna
do with everyone in that room?
Speaker 2 (40:41):
We'll talk giants football, some MBA, A bunch of necks
right here given on Wretch
