All right.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Uh, we've been alluding to it and kind of talking
about it or whatever, and it was buzzing this morning, obviously,
and we can't can't hide from him anymore.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
No, no, not at all.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
And the Knicks win the NBA Cup when they're up
on the stage and they're celebrating, going crazy and whatever,
and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Video I thought, last yes, yesterday's third that's crazy, it's
about to be wild.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And then you see in the video, rob g can
you explain it? Because I want to make sure we
get the description right. I don't want to say anything
out of turn. I don't want to lose my gig,
even though you've already.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Let's let me be the one who gets his job
lost for the holidays. No, it's the real thing that
happened after they were they had won the NBA Cup.
They're all celebrating, cat Is raising the trophy, smoke machine
confetti everywhere during the celebration. For whatever reason, Josh Hart,
who was standing behind Jalen Brunson, sticks his thumb.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
Up his rectum. Oh wow, attempts. That's what it looks like.
It was poked him in that area whatever he was
trying to do. That's a massive contrast. And what's interesting
about the video, if you haven't.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Seen it, don't get fired, is their.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
Friends, obviously their roommates. They host a podcast called Roommates.
You know they're they're best friends, right yes. On the video,
Jalen Brunson immediately snaps at him in anger like face
to face, looks pissed off. Nothing physical happens, It looks
even Josh Hart's kind of taken it back by.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
His Reactually he should have though.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
But that obviously became if the Knicks winning the Cup
and not hanging the banner was the headline. The sub
line was by the way, Josh Harden Jalen Brend had
a very awkward moment on the.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
No doubt about it.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
The first thing I thought of when I saw was
I thought of Tom Thumb. I think that's Josh Hart's
new name, Tom Thumb. This is the Tom Thumb theme song.
And kel when I got one question, did he say
(03:52):
duty in this, I think he knew was he ahead
of his time? Did he knew what was gonna be coming? Dude,
I've been covering sports. January sixth will be forty years.
January sixth, twenty twenty six will be forty years. I
have never, ever, ever in my life seen something on
(04:13):
a platform or stage of that. Have I seen some
crazy stuff in locker room the clubhouses. The wonder story
I told you is as crazy as it gets.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Okay, I've heard play, We've heard shack store, crazy shack story.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Here's a video out there with Anthony Davis when they
pull it sports shorts down and he's down there on
the floor and they're all laughing, and they recorded it.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
We've seen all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Guys popping each other with towel, wet towels out of
the shower, all of that, and all of that fits
to me in the confines of this sacred place, right
it's a San Chuel house, clubhouse, whatever it is. But
to be on stage with cameras everywhere and people looking,
(04:56):
and to think you're gonna do that now, I think
if Brunton didn't, we I would be more worried.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Like, you know what, I mean like it didn't.
Speaker 7 (05:03):
He okay, due, Yeah, if Jalen Brunson just kept it moving, monty,
did he say doody?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
What did he say?
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
No, you ain't lying.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Jalen Brunson would have just yeah, we're just happy to
be here if we fall hard for this, and you'd
be like, h Jalen, you ain't noticed nothing, brother, man?
Speaker 2 (05:27):
This look okay? Wow? Am I wrong?
Speaker 5 (05:29):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
You're right about that? You know what. I'm sad he
should have reacted the way he did because he was
like taking a bath. That's the problem the back. Now, listen,
you look up Josh Hart. You google him.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
The first thing that pops up a Reddit page, Josh Hart,
Stick's thumb and Forbidden Place continued on, Nick Starr caught
in four K sticking finger and teammate sensitive area, Josh
Hart's highly suspect prink on, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, so
on and so forth. And I said that to say,
as Mama Dub used to always tell me, Rob, Listen,
(06:05):
there's a time and a place for anything, meaning, hey,
that's what you choose to do, y'all have fun.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Obviously I sent you and Rob g.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Somebody put a whole little reel together of all the
crazy wild stuff they've done to each other.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Interviews kept smacking the butter?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Was that the and then they just have the only
interview too? Didn't he say inch for inch or inch by?
Speaker 5 (06:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
The other thing that that was? He said.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
He was like, you're the best player inch for inch
and and Jalen.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Said, whoa.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So they have a whole line of things. Josh Hart
continues to play. Now here's where it gets go some
fun having fun. It gets a little like, all right, man,
look the problem with this is you've now put Jalen
Brunton out there in a sense of like now I
gotta answer this, now, I gotta talk about this now.
This is what y'all be doing, is how y'all, oh oh.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Your roommates and you don how many ex players did
you see on the podcast?
Speaker 8 (06:58):
All?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh all?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Josh is all he's out of pocket. Man, man, we'd
have a I'd have an issue if he touched.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Me like that.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
Here's where it gets challenging, Rob josh Hart. It's thirty
years old. If he were a rookie nineteen twenty, you know,
they coming so early. Now, I'd get that, all right,
that dude. Just man, he's big time grown. You start
with a three, you're thirty, that's big grown. And you
did it on that literal stage where everyone's you're the
(07:26):
only game in town. You've just won the trophy. He's
the best player of the team, so the cameras are
on him, and that's when you choose to do it.
And now here's where I worry about and you know
this about life over compensation. Now, somebody they're Jalen Brunton.
I gotta really prove I don't play that kind of stuff.
That ain't funny to me. So now if a teammates
(07:47):
does something stupid, you know, gets a tie like you said,
hits him on the butt or during the game or something.
Now he almost socks him, gotta do you know what
I mean, seriously trying to overcompensate because like otherwise, oh,
that's what you just let all that kind of stuff slide.
And this is where you get people who go too far,
do too much because of that.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
I'm telling you, I'm dead serious. Where's the Knicks next game?
Rob g where's the next game?
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I can pull it up real quick. Somebody find the schedule.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Seriously, Yeah, the next next game will be tomorrow at Pacers.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Okay, if I'm Indiana, I'm out front selling T shirts
with Jalen Brunson's face and it says thumbs up.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
That's what I got. The worst part about this is
bron selling T shirts. It's gonna go away from Josh
Hart to Brunton, you know what I mean. It's gonna
be he's gonna be the one during free throws. They're
gonna be screaming stuff. And that's the worst part. And
this is where I will be mad as his best friend.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
How about it in living color? Remember the movie reviewers?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Oh man, it's they could do that and have those
two on there with the knicks with thumbs up.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
All right, Rob, you got one more? And I'm sorrying
to think you're the one that's gonna be creating these shirts.
I would be. I'd be out in front of Indiana
selling them. Yeah, And I just think, what mess messed up?
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Man?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It's a time and a place. Dude.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Come on, we having fun on the on the plane
whatever on, like you said, in the locker room, or
you know, we at the hotel. You know, I walk
into the room like okay, boys be boys kind of
a thing. I get this, which, by the way, I
was never in there. All that's a little bit. All right,
now that's doing word too far.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
But but you but you understand the behavior, you know
what I'm saying, happen.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But that's why I keep saying, do not Why would
you do this? Now? Literally the most visible time you
could ever.
Speaker 4 (09:24):
Do something like that on a stage and a championship,
you know, the cup championship while we're being ringing or
getting our money and celebrating whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
It makes zero sense.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
And uh, and now I wonder again, this is where
over conversation happens, right, This is where Draymond Green punches
Jordan Poole. And now, are you a punk? You let
somebody punch you? Now if you're Jordan Poole, Like, man,
somebody ever touched me. Again, I'm laying them out because
you over compensate. But I would you be all right
with that? If you're a radio teammate, don't look at me.
But some other you know, just did something stupid like that? No,
(09:56):
I mean Tony back in the day thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, we'd have to fight.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
No, I just it was just like, I'm not that
and I'm not and I'm not that sensitive.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
I'm not you know what I mean. I'm really I'm not.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
That sensitive or overly sensitive or or so like conservative
that you can't play around. And guys play around, and
I get it. We all have friends and buddies and
say stuff to each other and what. But this was
on a grand stage, and I think that's.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
What made it so weird, so weird. Rob G.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
We want to bring you into on this because yeah, yeah, whoa, whoa,
what I mean, you were surprised? But is it all over?
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Is it? Is it? Is it still worth talking about?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
I'm just saying, like, as people go on, could people
make fun of Jalen Brunson or Josh hard you know,
going forward? It was something that everybody saw.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
Well, I wasn't surprised because I've seen their interactions before
and they do a lot of not like that level,
but you know, Josh Harvill behind the back, I'm on
the button, you know, like they'll make little snide comments
to each other during their pocket or during on the
day as while they're doing U NBA playoff Prescott, like
they have that kind of relationship and can you tell
(11:15):
that they're very close?
Speaker 2 (11:16):
But they go back a really long way. None of that,
none of that's questions.
Speaker 6 (11:19):
Yeah so, but to your point one thousand percent, this
is going to be a thing moving forward.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Right anytime they have another.
Speaker 6 (11:27):
One of those exchanges, this video is gonna get played again.
Anytime Jalen Brunton goes into an opposing arena, there's gonna
be a photo of it. There's gonna be something on
a video even I wouldn't be surprised if it in
the arena video camp like shows it on the big screen.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
They're gonna show that. I think the NBA won't allow that. Yeah,
I think that team.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
Let's say that they get it off the first time
and then but like, this is going to happen because
Jalen Brunson is one of the best players in the
league and it's the way of getting at his team
is the favorite right now to make the NBA Finals.
Not with me, but anything you can do that's gonna
throw him off his guards, get him distracted, get under
(12:10):
his skin, is going to happen.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
And now it's.
Speaker 6 (12:15):
Like like you guys said today, the story is Josh
Hart and what he did.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Now moving forward, it's because he's the thumb recipient. What
I mean technically he is.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
You're right and and honestly that's the part on some
for real stuff that I would be upset as the
friend because, Bro, now I'm the one that has to
deal with this.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Oh that's what you do. That's what you think. You
know how y'all play. I gotta do it. I gotta
get with the shirts. I gotta deal with my phone call.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
I got like now I have you can kind of
full you know what, not apples to apples, you know
what it is. It's kind of like George Hill misses
the free throw, but no one talks about because they.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Talk about j R.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Smith, you know, doing the goofy not putting the ball
back up, and George Ho gets the kind of slide, Hey,
you make the free throw. We're up when we win
the game, And that's gonna be Josh Harry. It's gonna
like kind of slot go away for him because he's
a culprit. But it's gonna all be on Jalen Bronson
moving forward. And that's the part that sucks if you're.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Him all right eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
You want to hear from you if you have something
thoughtful to talk about on this? Is this cool? Is
this no big deal? People just bored because nothing else
is going on really in sports? So this became a
bigger story? Or have you ever seen anything like this
in public on such a stage? Where are you on
this eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox? Will this
(13:39):
incident follow around Josh Hart and Jalen Brunson for the
rest of their NBA careers? Or is this just a blip?

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Show up in their luggage when they go through the airport.
I'm just saying, hit me, Alex, I need a caution,
I need a caution. I'm just okay.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Oh boy d White, what make you think to do that?
And then I really can't get past that route. Like
you're in the front. They're not in the back. They're
not like they're not in the back where you can't release.
See first, you got cameras everywhere, so you you know.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
What I was gonna say. It's twenty twenty five.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Cameras are everywhere, but you're in the front with the
best player on the best in the league and star player.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
The cameras are on you. All right, We're gonna give
you some time. So if you do want to get in,
call up.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Okay eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox Dwight in Kentucky.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
You're on the y odd couple of Fox sportudio. What's up, Dwight,
what's happening?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Man doing?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Okay, I'm gonna give me a second. I'm gonna tell
you how I feel about the situation. I think it's
kind of a touchy subject.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
Paul.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
Yeah, no, I look at you don't have free is
that know each other for a long time. They play
around and everything, and still you're in private and they
have a situations like you know, you do something in
your partner be like, Man, I don't do that. You know,
I don't play that. I remember we old enough to
know when people used to play the dozen memory telling
so much of love.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
I don't say that.
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yeah, I don't do that, and I don't play that. Okay,
then in private, you've already done that. So if they close,
I feel like they didn't play like this before, because
I believe he probably would have told Hi, hey man,
you know something like this happened in private already, and
they were like, hey man, look well, don't go there.
We don't play like that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
But but let me say this to you, Dwight, that
stage with everybody watching, that was weird because even bruntching
his reaction was not like this got you what you're doing, And.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Like I believe he's probably gonna be like, man, look,
look man, we played that was the wrong place to
play like that, you know what I'm saying. So he's
gonna probably have to deal with live with this, even
if in private with them and they little club and
might not be no bigger.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Honestly, Dwight, I think appreciate the call day. I think
it ended it like. I don't think they're gonna play
like that anymore. No, no, no, like period, like no more,
even if it's just us in the locker room and
hanging out the boys, I don't I think it, you know,
and that happens in life. Somebody takes it too far.
You and your friend who stop slap boxing. I mean,
I'm cool, not today, Bron all of a sudden, you
slam it.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
I'm not. I'm done.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
It's not We're gonna have the rumors thinking somebody Elijah
gonna cut it up and they're gonna think I slapped
your tooth out your mouth. Matter of fact, Elijah, hru
I need that I had enough of Rob's mouth and
this result, this is missing the tooth.

to Detroit, we're gonna hang our own manner. It's gonna
have NBA Cup with Brunson's face and a thumbs up
every free throw that man, Shoot, we're gonna be shouting it.
If I was him, I would not be happy with it,
with heart that this is going to haunt him for
(20:30):
the rest of the season and it's going to be
an issue. And I mean, you can't blame us the fans.
We're gonna do everything we can to throw them off
his game. So, I mean, it is what.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Boys?
Speaker 17 (21:18):
Well, after all the nonsense it went on yesterday on
the show, I kind of laughed when I thought last
night but reminded me of it.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Let's let me ask you that about yesterday. Did you
laugh door that out.
Speaker 16 (21:31):
Was outrageous?
Speaker 17 (21:35):
We were lighting the Indico and just letting it rip.
Speaker 13 (21:37):
I loved it.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Yeah, I told you that was hilarious. Forty minutes.
Speaker 17 (21:41):
That was unbelievable. But man, yesterday when that thing happened
in the basketball game, I just kept thinking about that,
Charlie Murphy. True Hollywood stories when they're playing prints, set
and fruity picks.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Yeahs blouses, Yes, that's epic story. Charlie Murphy, Rest and
peace man history as were epic.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
Man.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Appreciate you, don Happy holidays, Hey.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Appreciated eight seven, seven ninety nine On Fox Who Nicks,

Speaker 2 (22:13):
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's
up John?
Speaker 14 (22:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 16 (22:18):
First, Rob, I got to tell you I am so
glad you're back on the media and available in this
and that because I go back a long way with
you and you have always been just a straight up
telling it like you think it is.
Speaker 8 (22:32):
Guys.
Speaker 16 (22:32):
I really appreciate John.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
You know what, Now, let me say this. I appreciate that.
I really do.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
It means a lot.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
As I just said earlier in January, forty years in
this business. I've been around for a long time, and
I appreciate that you still value me.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
Thank you for real.
Speaker 16 (22:50):
No, no, And I've been following most of that time. Okay.
And I saw you at at NAT's Park about I
don't know, three or four years ago when you were
in the hiatus, and I was hoping to say you
so anyway, glad to have you talk about it. Yeah,
I want to talk about the Cup though.
Speaker 14 (23:06):
Guys, you know.
Speaker 16 (23:07):
It's enough that the NBA everybody's playing by November first, Okay,
we got the load management, all this stuff going on.
And it seems to me and and Sober actually said
it last night, the whole premise behind it is by
the middle of December, we're only six weeks into the season.
We gotta do something special to motivate the guys to
play hard. That to me is an absurdity, and it's
(23:31):
an admission over the fact that otherwise they wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
Be playing hard.
Speaker 16 (23:35):
I I agree, And you really don't like it.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
And you're asking people to pay full price for tickets
and all this other stuff, and you got to have
an incentive to play. These are on extra games like
playoff game. These are games that are already on the
schedule that that that have turned into your regular season game.
It's kind of crazy. Thanks John. How about Albert in Riverside,
You're on the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
What's up Albert?
Speaker 14 (24:01):
What's up? Guys? Before my take refess, I want to
add three more names to the Rock Parker hate list.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Who else?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Is there anyone else left?
Speaker 5 (24:12):
By?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Oh? Wait minute, but me and Bucky had a big fight.
Speaker 14 (24:15):
Yeah, yeah, you have Bucky Brooks, Channing Fry and the
back to back through champion Elliott Dodgers.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
Well, yeah, we know the Dodgers, but hold on back,
what's the Channing Fry? I don't know that one.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yeah, me and I'm at a big blowout too, because
he said that Jordans and uh Lebron were one A
and one B. But first on the podcast he said
that uh Lebron was ahead of Jordan and then when
we we pushed on him a push back, then he
was like, oh no, they one A and one B.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
So that was kind of la But what do you got?
Speaker 14 (24:46):
And Ron had him as a deer in headlight that
he was quiet the rest of the interviews. It was
was crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
But anyway, yeah.
Speaker 14 (24:51):
Anyway on thumb gate, Yeah, this was this was the
way thing. This was the word thing I've ever seen,
Like I saw more stuff on Instagram and Twitter about
that in the actual game.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Of right and that's the worst part about it.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Who's who's the kid will put the thumb in the
dyke to so it wouldn't it wouldn't explode on the
uh town or whatever when they're chilling the story is.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
Yeah, I remember that one, and the.
Speaker 14 (25:20):
Card points like, yeah, poth these fans are ruseless. You
don't be posters, and the fans are taking free throws
of it just to get it underrons are it's going
to be bad. Yeah, it's gonna be all year.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
I do believe.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
I think the NBA might try to find like, you
can't control everything, but like, hey, we're asking you not
to play videos, We're asking you not to you know,
do some sound like I think the NBA is going
to try to control it as much as they can. Obviously,
you can't control fifteen sixty thousand people in a you know,
in an arena. But I do think the NBA is
going to try to control it a little bit because
(25:53):
they're because they you can't just put video, you can't.
It will go so far that it will start getting
up not politically correct, and then they'll become a whole conversation,
and then they'll have to issue some real formal apology.
It'll be it'll be like become a thing. Watch just
mark my words. If they don't get controller.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
And the story, I was right. It was a story.
It says.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
It was called a novel Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates,
about a brave Dutch boy who plugs a leak in
a dyke. It says, it says, with his finger to
save the village from flooring.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
No, I'm just saying. I'm be honest. That didn't help.
I thought it was his thumb, but it wasn't. I'm sorry.
I thought I thought it was.
Speaker 10 (26:34):
We'll give that a thumbs up.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
That didn't. That didn't help, right there, all right? Or
it thumps out No way, that's just bad. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
See, my thing is it's the comfortability. I understand you
have fun your boys, college, et cetera. But when you're
that open.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
He's thirty, Alex, I've known you for a long time now,
you ain't have you would never zero.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
I've messed with my boys. I've played song right, I've
been an athlete in high school, I've seen some of
that stuff and also know why because of people's backstories.
I'm just saying I want to sinuate, but I wouldn't
doubt that there's something there. Oh shoot, I'm not assuming.
I'm just saying, like that's what.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It's in a shallow, deep ends.
Speaker 10 (27:11):
It's just too it's too comfortable for me, too comfortable.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
And there's just again, there's a certain point when you
would thought. The assumption is you would outgrow things, right
you think? All right, Look, man, with thirty we have fun,
have been knowing you since we were teenage thinking about
they went to Villanova.
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Again, we've been teenager.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
We literally seventeen eighteen nineteen whatever it was with thirty
with millionaires, I'm assuming.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I know Josh has at least a kid. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (27:33):
So you've got twin well, I know one was on
his lap the game the other day, Yeah, which was me.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
We got families.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Now, Like, it's just not the time of place that
that's that's the only That's all it is weird.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
It's it's not the time or place, which is which
is why people But where is it?
Speaker 4 (27:50):
And this is where I really mean, like, where is
your discernment? To not have known that, right, and that moment,
that's the weird thing to me.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It's like to be on such a stage, to be
on such a stage, you know, literally.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Literally a stage with the whole entire NBA fandom is
watching this, and like, this was the moment you thought,
not like they're all walking down the stage something quick
down the stairs. No, you thought nobody saw it. The
moment where he's literally like, yeah, the trophy. Yeah, and
this makes no sense to me. All right, all right,

You got this NBA Cup.
Speaker 16 (32:12):
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 13 (32:13):
Look, Adam Silvera's got to realize our sports, Our sports
here in the United States has been built on end
of season championships NFL, MLB, NBA. You don't see in
the NFL they say that teams are the two best
records playing at a super Bowl in the middle of
the season for a million bucks.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
It just doesn't work.
Speaker 13 (32:29):
He's got to understand half of half of the league's
I was calf injuries because of this trunk headed schedule,
because of the NBA Cup. It's never gonna mean anything.
Mike Brown said it best. They're not hanging up the banner.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
It's like it's a meaningless put together like gimmick. That's
all it is is a gimmick. And they made money
off of the Amazon deal. Now they're talking about maybe
going to another city. Amazon wasn't happy with the response
in Vegas.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
But yeah, yeah, this is December. Is not a Vegas time.
It is before Christmas. Yes, that's why I used to
fly out of there all the time. I used to
get two hundred dollars flights. Kevin thanks to a eight
nine hundred per person. Seriously, first moved here in California.
So we do have we do have some breaking news. Yeah,
I don't know, Manzi, you might be up skid beat
(33:17):
skid b rob G what we got, rob G?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
It is out there, right, we're gonna yeah, No, it's
out there. Just say it's out there. We're not It's okay,
all right, well okay, well we didn't talk about Hey,
we're going to talk about it.
Speaker 18 (33:36):
On the air, I think right, but it is on
social media. A reporter, Trevor Thomas on X tweeted that
head coach Doug Gottlieb announced after a big win by
the way against you see Santa Barbara, that he will
be leaving the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio
to give one to his coaching job at Green Bay.
(33:57):
A huge decision and one that carries a ton of
a mon I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Say this, okay, and I know you guys will think
I'm gonna be mean or flip or whatever.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Seriously, me and Doug we have our issues, okay, but
I'm Doug and I I tried out with Doug at
ESPN Radio, so I go way back with Doug, back
in those days. He's been on a radio and media
person for a long time, but we know his family.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Coaching is what's in his blood.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
So I really I'm happy from the standpoint that he
could put his whole everything into coaching and see how
good he could be. I always thought it was difficult
to try to do both, and that's all I'm saying.
So I wish Dug nothing but the best, and that's
real talk, no jokes, no no, nothing, because sometimes you know,
(34:45):
when when you're doing two things, you're not good at
either one.
Speaker 4 (34:50):
And now this way he could pour everything into coaching.
You were like, what I was closed? He was right there,
he was. I was like, look at you see her,
and and then you just yeah, you got to.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Put the fat there. Nice, Well done, Alex, well done.
Hey what'shing? Well man?
Speaker 4 (35:10):
I don't have I have limited experience with him, you know,
running around a couple of times wishing him all the best.
Truth be told, if anybody like all my friends who'll
be and my family who know me in another life,
I'm gonna stay. I'm gonna stay here, stack up some money.
Then I'm gonna go coach. I would love to coach,
Absolutely want to coach. Oh my gosh, coaching or teaching
of some sort like what you're doing in USC.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
I love it, tell you. That's so rewarding.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
Yeah, and I get it to shape young minds and
you know, and whatnot and deal with young people.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
For real.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I love teaching so one thousand percent I'm partly envious.
That's a passion of mine. We wish him around, so
wishing him all the best.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Team.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Sure, it was a tough decision. He's been around for
a long time. Like when I tried out with him
at ESPN, I was like twenty ten or eleven or nine,
you know what I mean, like a long time ago.
So uh and uh who do he beat tonight?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
This team? U ste center, barbarat. That's a good team.
You know what.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
I'm gonna say, thumbs up to Doug and his team
for winning tonight.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Every time I believe in you, and I'm like, man,
look at you, look at the growth, look at the
maturation of the man.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Then you go ahead and do something like that. Yeah,
what's in the all?
Speaker 4 (36:20):
The best shot out to him and uh yeah, you know,
all good things quickly.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
I mean, we only got very much.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Time on you know how we want to get how
much time we got brobb okay too minutes? Is goodes
just pook in nakua. Do we have to sound on
him at all from that stream at all? If we
don't get me saying yeah, well we ain't got to
sit We only.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Got It's okay.
Speaker 4 (36:44):
Get the point where was he was calling out the
reps and he was he was on a live. He
had to say in the live because there's just some
of the rules aren't that Like these guys want to
be These guys are lawyers and like they want to
be on TV too.
Speaker 11 (36:56):
Brother, like the game, you don't think he's He's Texas.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
His friends in the group chat like, yo, you guys
just saw mey Sunday.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Night football like that. That wasn't p I like, but
I called it was?
Speaker 15 (37:06):
Seriously did?
Speaker 2 (37:08):
I mean? These guys are noble human beings too.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
These are the podcast people listening to. Yeah, Neon and
Aiden Ross streaming right there.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
I never missed Leon and Aiden Ross. I mean, what
what was that?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
I mean, how dumb did that whole thing say that
these guys who were judged. Okay, you don't keep a job,
it's not you're not a Supreme Court justice or the pope.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Okay, if you don't do well.
Speaker 1 (37:30):
As a referee or an official, guess what this grading system,
you get dropped. Everybody doesn't stick around forever. So he's
saying that somebody really is going to their friends. Hey,
I made a bad call so that they can put
the camera on me.
Speaker 4 (37:46):
Put the camera on you should have said it, well,
I'm about this all the passing affairs.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
Put the camera on me? They thought it was thirty
and before that he texted his friends on NBC. I
do look, I do think there's to the idea that
these refs ed hockeyles.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Remember he got all swollen up and was walking around
here like Alex.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
No, no, no, I'm saying you ever noticed every last referee
is buff now because they all they all know they're
gonna be on T Look at me, third and six,
fourth down passing affairs. I think more refs need to
get in some smoke. That's the only thing I do
agree with. They need to get want to be on TV?
Come on, that's that's a dumb stuing. You like being
on TV too? No, yes, you.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon is coming up next.
Speaker 11 (38:34):
I never miss your radio show.
Speaker 2 (38:36):

you hear that
