poll question, all of that forthcoming. Now, we were off
on Friday and we were in Atlanta. We did the
Celebrity Family Feud and had a lot of fun. Now
(01:30):
we're not loud to talk about what played out with
our game against The Rich Eisen Show, but a lot
of fun. Steve Harvey was a lot of fun. He
basically is doing a stand up act while doing a
game show. And his staff wonderful people. I do want
to make mention of the vibe that you had there
(01:51):
in Atlanta. We were at Tyler Perry's studios and it's
a college campus. It was unbelievable. We didn't see Tyler Perry,
but it was a unique experience. Got up there and uh,
you know, we felt at home, had some fun, some
good lines in there, got to see The Rich Eisen Show,
(02:13):
and once again, we can't talk about the results. Later
on this summer, once we find out what the date is,
and I guess you know it's on Sunday night, and
they got to edit this thing down because it's a
half hour show, but we probably were on stage for
forty five minutes with everything that was going on. Great
audience there. Marvin brought his own fan club, had his
(02:36):
mom there, Grandma there. It was. It was a big
deal there. You you had your fan you know, they
were your rooting section. Yes, mart I didn't bring them.
They invited themselves. You're right now. I didn't realize the
Steve Harvey group, the celebrity family few. They booked our
(02:57):
flights and they're very nice. They put us in first class,
but they put me in the same row with Todd,
and you know, I joke a little bit about you know,
Todd and our little bit our relationship, and all I
wanted to do was just sit. I didn't want to talk.
(03:18):
I'd spent three hours talking earlier that day, Thursday. I
just I, you know, I was gonna get it on
the plane, maybe have a cocktail, get to Atlanta, have
a nice meal. It was my birthday. And I kept
saying to Todd, Todd, I'm not joking, and Todd kept
talking louder to me. I had headphones on in and
(03:40):
that just meant. He yelled louder, and then I just said, Todd,
I can, I can? I finally said, shut up.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We acknowledge your birthday during the course of the show Thursday,
but then there was kind of over by the time
we got to the airport.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
If you go, okay, the birthday things in the drawer
and we can move on.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
It was shaved it up, a.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Little bit socialized the plane, you know.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Okay, for your mind. The flight attendant told Todd to
be quiet, that he was talking, and it had never
happened to me before. Yes, she said, you're talking too much.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Maybe you could say a little less Yes, I believe
was the quote, maybe you could say a little less yes.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
When I had my chair kicked from behind, I thought
that was like a kid by accident. I just kind
of moving around. But maybe someone was giving me a
little lesson learning there.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Yes, it was a grown ass man who was a
little tired of hearing your updates.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I think, yes. And then on the way back, Okay,
first of all, I'm I'm watching Bourne Identity. Of course,
you know, of all the things to watch, I'm watching
Bourne Identity and Todd you know the screen that he has.
He's watching the flight tracker, so he's looking at the map.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
I eventually changed it to the Celtics games.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
There no, eventually, no no. On the way down, you
watched the flight, I did.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
I did not change it.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
I kept the plane the plane as I watched it
go through Charlotte and ever there was that fascinating to me.
How many thousands of feet were up in the air,
how many kilometers, how many minutes it's until we're supposed
to land.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
He's staring at the screen and he's watching the plane.
He goes I think, I think, like, should the plane
be as big as the state of Indiana.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
It wasn't a scale. It was like very weird. It
was like one of the wings was that covering Sous
City or something like. This can't be right.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I said, we're not going through Fort Wayne, Indiana. But
and then he's yelling, and then I don't acknowledge him.
And then he taps me on the arm and I said, Todd,
I'm not joking. Let me. Let's just sit here all right.
On the way back. That's when he's doing play by
play of the Knick Celtics game on Friday night, play
(05:38):
by play to everybody in first class.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
I tapped you, and I poked you, and I grabbed
your knee.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Other up by twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
This is a blowout there. You're going to go to
the Eastern Covers battle. And I kept I said Todd stop,
and then finally I had to smack him. I smacked
him on the arm hard. Yes, Martin.
Speaker 6 (05:55):
Hearing the smack me and seeing me, we just couldn't
stop leaving them. We just kept looking overtapping each other, like,
look at these two. This is a sitcom.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
It was violent. You were so mad.
Speaker 6 (06:05):
And then the flight attendant on the way down, Uh, sir,
would you like to drink? You're like, do you have poison?
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That was rude.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah, it was a sitcom where I was sitting, but
there was no calm meny, you know, with you. So
that was the only part of the sitcom. It wasn't
There wasn't funny to.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
I have a small glass of cranberry juice.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It was a fanty little glass, but I'm like, I
usually get the can when I'm sitting in thirty eight B.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I'm sitting in the first road. I'm getting less somehow.
That was weird.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Yeah, we went our separate ways when we landed, and
and then of course we go to dinner, like Todd
is next to me. No matter what we did, like
you know, we get on the bus leaving the airport
to go to the hotel, Who's next to me?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I think it was just coincidental. Then you make it suck.
I was like a lost puppy. It's like, I'm just
gonna follow you around, which I kind of was a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
And then we were getting pictures and then who wants
to get a picture? Todd is with me standing in
front of the celebrity family feud. And then I said
to him, I don't know what our strategy is to
win celebrity family feud, but whatever it is, I'd rather
lose than have you right next to me. Marvin, You're
going to be right next to me. And then Todd
(07:17):
was after that, so it was myself, Marvin, it was fritzy,
then it was seating, then Paulie. But had a great time.
It was a lot of fun and I'm glad we
did it.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
The post didn't come out the way I like that
was supposed to be. Buddy, Buddy, I'm the little red
carpet backdrop thing with family. You were like tilted off
to the side.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I was you, I was all right. And then we
had the Sports Emmys tomorrow night. Okay, it's a big
couple of days. They are, they are, but uh, we
got a party bus for tomorrow. You will not sit
next to me.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
It seems fair. Yes, there was a lot of time together.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Yes it was. Yes, we're not going to do that.
You guys are set a lot of time together. We'd
be way too much, way too much.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Yeah, I was doing the family feud theme.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Okay, we get it all the way down, all the
way from the airport to the hotel. Todd's doing as
Steve Harvey impersonation.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
I need Dan, I need Rich let's do this. Let's
be a few.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Yeah, yes, Marvin, we did attend Magic City. You and
Mario did we did? Yes?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well, late night Thursday action.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
I gave them one hundred dollars. I said, hey, you guys,
go have some fun. I can't go to Magic City.
And uh, you know, but you guys, I said it,
you know, it's for content. If you need to tell
your wife that, hey, Dan told me I had to
go to Magic City, just say it's for content. And
then I realized Marvin did tell his wife he was
(08:55):
going there, and she was fine with it.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Oh yeah, this summer I met her. That was the
last time I bent an establishment like that. It was
in Atlanta, and so she was like Marvin, I know,
I said, go have fun. He's like, Dad gave you
a hundred dollars. How generous.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yes, And we can't mention who was in there, like
there were some celebrities in there. There were, Yeah, we can't,
but I will say they were professionals at what they
you know, had going to a strip club very much
so that one guy had a like a mail bag
full of buns. I think one maybe it was, you know, hundreds.
(09:31):
I don't according to you, guys.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
As I say, wait, so you were there, you weren't there.
I'm only this was all very firsthand. I'm just saying that,
you know, we saw a lot of celebrities there. There's
this one guy walked in with a mail bag. I mean,
according to you, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I didn't see this. It sounds like you were there.
I felt like I was there. I was living vicariously
through Marvin and Marriot.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Yeah, we definitely give you a play by play. You
did then this happened and then the guy who came in,
he put his Grammy Award on the side.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He said, come on, girls, we're not But yeah, there
were there were a couple of big name celebrities in there, correct,
And it looked like, apparently according to eyewitnesses, that they've
done this before.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
A few times.
Speaker 6 (10:09):
Yeah, like oh hey, so and so yeah, like man,
you guys regulars.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Uh poll question first hour seat and what are we
gonna go with today? Will Todd and Dan survived this week?
Speaker 4 (10:21):
Fair question?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I should say their relationship survive this week?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Uh yeah, wake up mixed by thirty one.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But I had headphones in and he kept yelling louder
because he wanted me to hear and I finally took
out one of the earbuds. I go, if I wanted
to hear you, I wouldn't have these into I had.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
An audience that couldn't leave this stuck on this tube.
I'm like, I could just kind of do whatever I want.
I can't take me off the plane.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Then he's doing then he switches over to hockey, and
then he's doing sound effects. He's doing theme songs, and
I just thought.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
This cost it's the coup.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
As the person who is sitting across the aisle from Todd,
so is sitting right next to him, just a little
slightly further than you did. Everything that Todd is doing
right now is completely accurate. Yes, that and the entire
I don't know, I would guarantee the first four rows
of the plane. Could hear him doing it?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Yeah, I kept saying. I said, look, it might be
a bit with us and having some fun. It's not
fair to these Yes, yes, yes, did you.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Score in the middle of the second period? Everyone did?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
The other people in first class seem at all entertained
or was all completely.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
By They were not entertained.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
That was the only person I could really see was
sitting directly behind Todd. Yes, and he had he had
a certain look of exhaustion on this case.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You know when you get up, you know, flight lands,
and then you get up and I always look behind
just to see, you know, how people may have reacted.
And you could tell they were like, finally like let's
get off this plane. That nobody was saying, Hey, that
was funny, Hey man, you're you're you're crazy. It was,
(12:04):
you know, like mumbling and then uh, you know, Todd
thinks he's still doing stand up. He's entertaining.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
They look like they were on a five six hour
flight when it's really only about two to get to Connecticut.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
For all right, poll question for the first hour of
the program is going to be, oh, do you want
to go with will will our relationship survive? I likely
that'll be one of the options for the second It
survived for twenty three years, it'll survive this yet barely.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Yeah, but that's not fun for the pole question, so
we'll throw that up. Okay, Paul sent this one over.
Who should be most frustrated today? Maple Leafs fans? That's tough, man,
I watched it. I picked Toronto to win. Man, that's
a curse.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
It just it is. It is. It's a curse. You
get a Game seven on your whole ice. But Florida, damn,
they know how to win. I got the updated DraftKings odds.
They're the favorites now and it's pretty tight here of
who's going to win the Cup. So you have Panthers
(13:09):
and then it's the Oilers, followed by the Stars and
the Hurricanes. But Florida knows how to win. That was
big time. Any other fan bases on their seaton. So
the maple leafs.
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yeah, maple leafs are on there. Nikola Jokic, Yeah, he
could possibly be frustrated. Yeah, I'm going to talk about
that in a little bit. Horse racing fans, we're going
to play the call of the Preakness. Now here's the problem.
Nobody's tuning. Well, people tuned in, but not the number
that you would want if you had a horse going
(13:44):
for the Triple Crown. But the call on NBC by
Larry Colemus unbelievable, unbelievable. I'll play that for you again
in case you missed it. But there was a camera
on him while he's doing that. He's got his binoculars
and he's I mean, it's unbelievable. The skill level of
(14:06):
seeing it, saying it, and then all of a sudden
the down the stretch call, GOE. I played it over
and over, probably ten times yesterday because it's just this
is in the moment, this is real right in front
of you.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
To do this and do it at a level of well,
there's nobody at that level, just him. So I'll have
that for you. Got our play of the day coming up,
we'll discuss some basketball. Brian Winhors will join us, a
little bit later on Tony Really going to join us
in the man Cave around the horn closing up shot
this week, and Rebecca Lowe from the Premier League, the Premiership,
(14:47):
she will join us as her team, Crystal Palace ended
up they win. I don't even know if they have
a trophy case because they've never won a trophy, but
they won the FA Cup over Manchester City, so you know,
had grown ups generations. This is like when the Cubs
(15:08):
won the World Series, Like the Red Sox win the
World Series, you never won, your parents never won in
their lifetime grandparents and Crystal Palace ends up winning the
FA Cup. Yeh see.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
That's one of the things that she's spoken about, like
leading up to this throughout the tournament was how like
generationally it impacts families and that's one of the best
things about sports, right It's like she talks about it,
how her and her father love this team and now
she's sharing that with her son and how so far
none of them had ever seen a trophy right up
until this moment.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
It's pretty awesome. We'll take a break. Phone calls always welcome,
especially on Monday, best and worst of the weekend and
we'll come back after this.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
And Rich watch a lot of sports over the weekend.
We watch some of the game on Friday night after
the Knicks blowing out the Celtics. The OKC game yesterday
with the Nuggets, I'm not surprised. I guess I thought
the Nuggets would put up a little bit more of
a fight. They limped to the finish line. Michael Porter Junior,
(17:14):
the third, I mean, maybe he's banged up, but I
don't want him on my team, not at that price.
Russell Westbrook Junior, the third. Jamal Murray was playing through
an injury. He was one of eight from three point.
I mean, they just they didn't play well. OK see,
team is a better team, deeper team. Joker put up,
(17:36):
you know, below average numbers. I guess for him, but
you know, after a while, you know it's over. And
I said this at the beginning of the year that
it was malpractice, it was organizational malpractice that you did
not go out and really surround Joker. And I said
he won't win another title. He's in his prime, he's
(17:58):
the best player in the game. I don't think he's
going to win another title. But also, you know he
might realize that too. We got to have depth here,
We have to have a better team. You fire your
coach down the stretch as you get close to the playoffs,
and you know, we saw a little bit of a
spark there. But Joker was asked about winning another title.
(18:23):
Here is the question, do you feel like this team
could still win a championship as it's put together?
Speaker 10 (18:28):
Now, I mean we didn't, so love we can't. Uh
if we if we if we could win it. So
I don't believe in those if stuff. So we had
an opportunity, we didn't. If we didn't, we didn't win it.
So I think we can't.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And it's you know, interesting too because I said I
don't think he'll win another MVP, because we've moved on
to another story. He got his three, you got your title.
We move on. It's like Yiannis, all right, one a
couple won a title, Now we move on. So now
it's shay gilgis Alexander. Is he the best player in
(19:07):
the league. No, he's not. But he's the most valuable
player given the criteria of what lest sort of factor in. Hey,
they won the most games, they were impressive, they dominated
during the regular season. He's the best player on that team.
I don't even think oka c knew what they had
with Shay Gilgis, just like Denver didn't know what they
(19:29):
had with Joker, just like Milwaukee didn't know what they
had with Giannis, just like the Knicks didn't know what
they had with Jalen Brunson. It's an inexact science to
try to figure out that guy is going to be great.
Tyrese Haliburton I liked him. I was watching Sacramento now
I was like, hey, PACER's got a really good guard here.
(19:52):
But you know, I have no life and I'm watching
these games. But you start to look at some of
these guys who were stars. Anthony Edwards was a fascination.
I watched him at Georgia. I thought, man, is he explosive?
That's it. I didn't know anything else about him. I
just watch him. He always was a highlight. Now he
doesn't want to be the face of the league. Shay Gilgis.
(20:15):
I mean, you're gonna watch him now because they're playing
in the Western Conference finals, and there's nothing that's highlighty
about him other than he is just an assassin. He
is going to score in a variety of ways, but
they're not going to be highlights. Anthony Edward is going
to give you highlights.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
I'm fascinated with Jalen Brunson, and I do think that
he has star power because he seems to relish that,
you know, and I like in the spotlight to Vitamin D.
It's sunshine for him. He loves it, he wants it,
he savors it, he welcomes it. And I think you
know his star power because he's in New York as well.
(20:57):
Tyre's Halliburton. He was voted the most overrated player by
fellow NBA players, which I find interesting that you singled
him out as the most overrated. But he's proving that
the overrated chance probably aren't going to be as strong
as they were in the last series. So you're looking
(21:17):
at the NBA Finals or the potential for the NBA Finals.
The Knicks haven't won in fifty years, the Pacers haven't
won a title. They had it ABA a couple of
ABA titles. Okase, they're potentially winning their first title. Now
Seattle where they came from, did win an NBA title,
(21:38):
But Minnesota, you know, go back to Minneapolis Lakers. They
haven't won anything that. I like, you're going to get
somebody getting a first championship and their city, their state,
their fans getting a championship as well. Got to help
the city of New York if the Knicks win a title.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Hey, they have a parade every other night.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Yeah, I mean you see that watch party that they
have that's like a building. I mean that, you know,
you have an arena that's filled and then you have
the watch party as well. Pretty wild, pretty wild, all righty,
So the NBA Playoffs nix with the dominating performance and
(22:23):
the thunder dominating the Nuggets at as well. I want
to play this Preakness call by Larry Calmus with NBC
and it's one of those where and we've had him
on before. I mean, he's great at what he does,
and but we only hear him, you know what, three
(22:43):
times a year for the most part, And you're watching
this and journalism is the favorite was the favorite going
into the Kentucky Derby. Sovereignty who won the Kentucky Derby
didn't race in the Preakness, and you know, so you
lose all of that moment him. But boy, were you
treated to something spectacular. And here it sounded down the stretch.
Speaker 11 (23:08):
American promises it on the outside Journalism it still sis.
He's got a lot of ground to cover. He is
still five links behind. As they make their way toward
the top of the stretch, Coscar trying to pull up
a huge upset here has taken the lead on the outside.
Clever again cuts the porter. Journalism is getting closer. Now
he's behind the wall of horses. He's fucking brook place
(23:28):
to go and he's got no where to go.
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Hoy booked hard but pard.
Speaker 11 (23:32):
With gloriented and that Meanwhile, Conscar's running the race of
his life.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And sad Man as after the scene and he has
moved up to the car.
Speaker 11 (23:41):
Outside Journalism is still running out.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
He's back in the second. He might even let it.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Here's the letter.
Speaker 11 (23:48):
Oh my goddess, journalism has won.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
You'll break the stakes and a performance like you read about.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Damn, I'm holding my breath listening to it. I know
the results. God, that's spectacular. He might even win it.
And there's a and there's a camera on him, and
he's almost gone down to his knees of what he
has seen, what he's witnessed because the horse is boxed
(24:20):
in and then all of a sudden kind of pushes
two horses out of the way, and it's almost like,
you know, the pack gives birth to journalism. Boom, oh
that would have been a good call right there, and
the pack gives birth to journalism. Yeah, maybe not, but
and then all of a sudden, it's like, if this
could be you know, he might win, and then you're going, oh,
(24:43):
my goodness. But to capture that and have that emotion,
and I mean that that's wonderful, that it's wonderful to
hear that. All right. I just wish you would had
sovereignty in the race. Maybe more people would have would
have witnes is that? And I do think that they're
going to have to modify the triple crown. Yeah, Mike
(25:05):
Trico talked about this when we had him on Thursday.
I mean, you have to do this if you want
to grow the sport. Everybody's trying to grow their sport.
It's like the NFL with flag football, and it feels
like the reaction to the NFL wants to do flag
football in the Olympics. And so I was just talking
to a source before we came on the air. I said,
(25:27):
give me the low down here, what do I need
to know? And he said, this is global expansion. He said,
basketball and soccer have this. The NFL does not have this.
You have soccer around the world, you have basketball around
the world. You don't have football around the world. Now,
how do you get football around the world. You're not
(25:47):
going to be building football teams playing you know, in pads,
and you can build teams with flag football. It's simple
and it doesn't cost a lot. Now you can have
a team in Germany. Now you can have a team
in Now you can so everybody is going to have
their team. Now you get boys and girls playing flag football.
(26:08):
That's how you grow this globally. And I said, well,
what about an NFL player can play for team you know,
you know USA, And he said, yeah, that's not a
big deal. Like, okay, is it going to be a
marquee guy? What team is going to allow you know,
are the Dolphins going to say to Tyreek Hill, hey
go win a gold medal? I mean, you only get
(26:30):
one player that's going to play at least right now.
That's that's my interpretation of this. But am I going
to get somebody who's going to claim citizenship with maybe
Germany because they can Joe LNB with what Cameroon? So
you're you're going to have maybe some players in the
(26:50):
NFL who are going to play for a team. I
don't know, do they go through qualifiers? Like there's a
lot going on here. But the NFL wants global expansion.
It's not like they're going to have, you know, a
football team in Germany or in Madrid or but they
can play football. They can have it be NFL sanctioned
(27:12):
flag football leagues. Then you can grow. Now, this is
what a source just told me, you know, forty five
minutes ago.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
Yeah see, I'd be curious to know what somebody like
Rebecca Lowe thinks of that everything you just laid out
about growing that game internationally, considering like the whole hook
of having her on today is that her team's been
around for one hundred and nineteen years and there's generations
of that fandom has passed down over one hundred and
nineteen years, versus growing a sport, well, not organically, but
(27:41):
trying to grow a sport in new countries.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Yeah, you know, I'm curious about it because it's going
to be in the Olympics, and you know who's going
to compete qualifiers. What NFL players could play for somebody else.
But from what I'm told right now, you can only
have one NFL player on Team USA. That's not a hook.
That's not enough for me to go now, But for
(28:05):
other countries it might be. For me, I couldn't care less.
All right, flag football. Now you have men's and women's Okay,
then I'm curious about that and other countries doing that.
But if and look, you'll have a star that comes
out of this and you go, he should be playing
in the NFL. We're going to have that moment for
(28:27):
a few of these countries. But this is sort of
being worked out tomorrow and Wednesday that maybe there's an
update later on this week. But you know, you have
the owners' meetings, and there are a couple of owners
who are not for this, and there are a couple
owners who are a gung ho about this. The NFL
is really really good at making money. That's what you
(28:48):
should always remember, no matter what it is. Why are
they doing this to make money, Yeampong.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (28:56):
Everyone always says in Europe and South America they don't
care about the NFL, which is, you know, mostly true
and historically true. But it feels like the NFL is
almost maxed out America and where else is there to go.
There's only they've already got every fan in America that's possible.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Yeah, they're growing the fan base now. They're saying too,
like the Steelers you can own Ireland or the Chiefs
can own Germany, and you know that that's intriguing for
them with merchandise, but to try to grow grow it
globally by playing flag football, all right? Yeah, see, I.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Would rather have more teams in the US than extra
teams worldwide.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
Well, they're not going to be extra teams worldwide unless
you have what the NBA is going to do, and
that's have their own. There'll be a league in Europe
that will be an NBA sanctioned league, and maybe down
the road, who knows, maybe in our lifetime that team
over there plays the team you have a true world
(29:54):
championship here, But I don't see unless you have a
European league. You know, we already had this with European Football.
I could see that where they're playing games there. Maybe
you have some interaction, maybe there's preseason. I don't know,
but I don't I just don't see even London. I
don't think London's going to have a team.
Speaker 7 (30:15):
Yeah, Paulin there is a European League of Football, which
I barely really knew about, but I saw that they
got a new deal with his own so to be
accessible in America. They had their first week of games
this weekend and there's teams in Hamburg and Cologne and
Frankfurt and Paris and Munich. So but it's not affiliated
with the NFL in every way. At the standalone league.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Yeah, I think that the NBA is going to have this,
and you know, basketball is so big that they'll be
able to do this, and that might be different leagues,
you know, throughout the rest of the world, but the NFL,
that's the global expansion that they're looking for. They want
to be able to compete with soccer and basketball around
(30:55):
the world. We'll take a break. Rebecca Lowe. She's the
host of the pre League on NBC in Peacock and

Rebecca lo NBC Sports Premier League host lifelong Crystal Palace fan.
How do you feel today.
Speaker 13 (32:40):
Damn Flippin' Patrick. I feel a lot of feelings I've
never felt before. I feel like life goes too quickly
and already Saturday is too far ago, Like it's too
long ago. How did it already get to Monday?
Speaker 2 (32:59):
No?
Speaker 13 (32:59):
I need it still be Saturday. I feel slightly empty.
Isn't quite the right, you know, not deflating, maybe just exhausted,
could just be like emotional exhaustion. But I also find
myself and this is I don't think this has ever
happened to be before. I find myself during these last
couple of days, just drifting into a day dream and
thinking and remembering what it was like at Wembley Stadium
(33:21):
on Saturday. I feel pretty complete, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Explain the FA Cup to our audience that may not know.
Speaker 13 (33:30):
Okay, so the FA Cup is nearly one hundred and
fifty years old. It's an incredible competition that is separate
from the League. So whilst it's similar to Super Bowl
in that you have the knockouts and the super Bowl,
you know, in the later stages when you get to
the playoffs right, and then the two get to the final.
This is knockout all the way along. So you play
the league normally and then you all get to go
(33:50):
into the FA Cup. And the FA Cup actually starts
in August with nine hundred and something teams. We're talking
grassroots soccer in England, We're talking village teams enter the
FA Cup in August and then they go through extra
preliminary rounds, preliminary rounds and then all the way to
first round, second round, and then it gets to January
and that's when the big boys go in. So in
(34:12):
the third round of the FA Cup is when the
Manchester Cities and the Premier League clubs enter the third round.
You then have to win third round, fourth round, fifth round, quarterfinal,
semi final and then you're in the final. So the
competition actually starts in August finishes in May and it's
the most revered, oldest and most famous cup competition in
(34:32):
world football.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Did you ever think you would win in your lifetime?
Speaker 13 (34:38):
I not really, no, Dan, We've been in it twice
before nineteen nineteen we were in it and I was
nine and I was too young to go. And then
in twenty sixteen I'd just given birth to Teddy Buckle
and I couldn't go because he was two and a
half weeks old and I was in the United States,
so I couldn't travel. And we've lost obviously both of
those times before. So to get in it again kind
(34:59):
of so quickly. Considering my club has been around since
the eighteen hundreds, we've only been in the final three times.
To get in again was incredible, and I have to
say NBC have been amazing. They straight away said, yeah, Rebecca,
you're going, even though I was supposed to be working
today and yesterday, and no, I never thought we'd been
in it. And also we were playing Manchester City, the
(35:20):
team that you adopted twelve years ago. Slightly lightly but
you adopted them and they are not the team of
back in those days, but they're still a living good
team and so to beat them in the biggest game
in English football is I can't It's so hard for
me to describe the euphoria.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Cry I had. There are a.
Speaker 13 (35:45):
Lot of it is before the game had even started,
I was crying. They sing a song or a hymn
I should say, called a vibe with me before every
FA Cup final. It's just the tradition. So I cried
during that. Then I cried when the players came out,
just because that was my team coming out in the film.
Now I cried when we want it, So yeah, lots
it is.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
Was there a part of you that didn't want to
subject your son to this potential torture for his life?
You know what?
Speaker 13 (36:10):
I did think about that, And when every when I
told everybody that he was growing up as a Crystal
Palace and people asked me that exact question, I thought,
in some ways yes, right, because I would say over
the thirty five years of supporting Palace, it's been mainly painful.
But I really believe Dan that if you support a
Liverpool and Manchester United back in the day a Manchester City,
(36:31):
you'll never get that moment I got because you win
all the time, you win trophies all times. I want
him to understand that in life, Dan, it is quality,
not quantity.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
We're talking to Rebecca Lowe. She of course is the
host of the Premier League on NBC in Peacock and
she was there at Wembley with her husband and son. Yeah,
and as soon as they won, I did think of you.
I'm like, oh my God, I don't. I don't know this.
Crystal Palace have a trophy case.
Speaker 13 (37:03):
Not technically because we've not actually won a major trophy before.
I'm sure there are space in the boardroom at the stadium.
We've won smaller trophies down he is like, much much smaller.
But now we're going to build a brand. I think
we'll built a whole room, to be quite honest, for
this one beautiful trophy.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
So what do you do now? This is like, this
is weird. Red Sox fans, Cubs fans are like, wait
a minute, now, now we won.
Speaker 13 (37:28):
I know it is weird, and that's why I say
it's a feeling I've never had before. I don't quite
know what to do with this feeling. I'm a bit
concerned that Teddy thinks, age nine, this is going to
be you know. I mean, it could quite feasibly never
happen again in his lifetime. I have told him that
I was so Crystal Palace are actually playing Liverpool, the
Premier League champions next Sunday on the final day of
the season, and we are going to anfield to watch
(37:50):
Liverpool lift the Premier League trophy. I'll be the only
one in the stadium that's actually more interested in their
opposition next weekend, so I get to see them again
next weekend and then after that. To be honest, Dan,
if we never win another trophy, I'm actually fine with
it. It start like for me that moment was full circle
thirty five years as a nine year old, My dad
was there, my family, Like, it's like it is complete.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Now, Okay, where does this rank? Top five days of
your life?
Speaker 13 (38:16):
Number three?
Speaker 2 (38:18):
So having Teddy Yep, getting the job at NBC, and
then this and then your wedding, it's very.
Speaker 13 (38:30):
Close, very close. I'm going, I'm going baby wedding this.
But then with both of them with me for this,
you know, it might kind of like they might all
be on a little bit of a level path.
Speaker 10 (38:39):
It is.
Speaker 13 (38:39):
It is that big. I genuinely feel like there was
life before Saturday, Dan, and there is now life after Saturday.
That is honestly what a line in the sand in
my life.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
That day was Congratulations. I didn't think it would happen
in my lifetime, but I'm glad it happened in your lifetime.
That You've got to have Crystal Allas instead of being
the butt of a joke. Yeah, that You're a champion.
Speaker 13 (39:05):
Champions, absolute sick champions.
Speaker 2 (39:11):
Have fun over there. Thanks for joining us anytime. Thanks.
That's Rebecca Lowe, NBC Sports Premier League host. There is
that wait a minute, now what because you condition yourself
where it's just like, yeah, well, next year, next year,
and then you know, you asked Red Sox fans after
(39:33):
four they're like, you know, we kind of lost our identity.
We have a different identity the Cubs. It's a different
identity there. The Premier League team will be on location.
So the Championship Sunday coverage starts at nine Eastern on
Peacock live coverage of all ten matches and eleven am
Eastern on NBC Peacock, USA Network, CNBC and sci Fi.
Speaker 10 (39:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (39:58):
Yeah, that's one of the beautiful things about soccer actually
is that there's sort of always something next in some ways,
like for a team like Crystal Palace, winning the Premier
League would be another step up. Getting the Champions League
and winning that would be a massive step up. That
would be huge. There's a Carabell Cup. They have the Treble.
Can you win three in one year? The quadro? Can
you win four trophies in one year? You know, there's
(40:20):
all of these things that you have. While that winning
the FA Cup was absolutely just like once in a
lifetime obviously for generations to people.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Now, can you do another one? Can you get to.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
Top four in the league or top five in the
league to get to the European Championship, those kinds of things.
Speaker 2 (40:36):
And there's hope, like fans just one hope. That's why
the NFL season there's always so much hope. Baseball season
there's not hope. You know, there's certain teams fan bases
they know there's probably seven teams that can win it all,
five teams that can win it all, just trying to
make the playoffs. But with the NFL, you're like, hey,
(40:58):
who knows, Hey, look at what the command or every
year we have that from worse to first, and just
to have Hope's that's what carries a fan base, carries
a league that you get hope. We give you hope
and for Crystal Palace one hundred and twenty years and
then you take on the big boys. Sure there's a
(41:19):
big payroll disparity between those two, but you had hope.
We'll talk some basketball. Brian Windhorse will stop by and
Tony Reality from around the horn,
