(00:49):
It's never happened before in the history of the NBA
Playoffs that a team has won three consecutive postseason games
by at least twenty five points, and since trailing Atlanta
two games to one in the first round, the Knicks
have won four in a row by a combined one
hundred and thirty five points. Stat of the Day bronch
(01:27):
you by Panini America. So this is setting up for
one of those unbelievable runs or an epic collapse, because
if you're a Knicks fan, you got it, at least
in the back of your mind. Go okay, let's slow
this down just a little bit here. Yes, we did
blow out the seventy six ers, and sometimes you wonder
(01:48):
when you how quickly can you get rid of a
loss like that? How much longer do you want to
hold on to a win like that? Now? What you
did in the win? Is there something that you figure
out here? Is there something that kind of opened the
door for you? Guys? Playing great against Atlanta and great
opening up this series against Philadelphia. Reggie Miller will join
(02:10):
us next hour. But something happened because we thought the
Knicks were teetering on the brink when they're down two
games to one, all of a sudden, CJ. McCollum is
the new Trey Young and the knixt postseason is going south.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yes, Mark, Well, the Knicks, they shouldn't get too happy
yet because the Sixers lost their first two games to
the Celtics by like thirty points in each of those games.
So if there's any team that knows how to come
back from bad losses. It's to seventy six ers. And
Tyrese Maxey was not aggressive last night. I think he
shot nine times last night in total.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah, And I thought that Tyrese Maxi with Joe l
Embiid doing a lot of pick and roll, pick and pop,
all of those things, taking advantage of Brunson, Karl Anthony Towns.
But it didn't happen. I mean, the Knicks got out
early and never let off the accelerator, and it's impressive,
and you can't help but think you're thinking ahead, can't
(03:06):
help but do this because you don't have Boston. You
look at Detroit as okay, formidable regular season, maybe not
as formidable in the postseason. You've got your path to
the finals. You're like Cleveland, Detroit seventy six ers. We
can get by them, and then you take your chances
(03:27):
in the NBA finals. What was it nineteen ninety nine,
the last time the Knicks played in the finals against
San Antonio didn't have Patrick Ewing and Latrelle Spreewell was
the big starback then, wasn't he Marvin.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Him Allan Ho a young Marcus canby An older Larry
Larry Johns.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
That was close to being a really really good team.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
They were the eight seed that season.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Isn't that amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
They were eight seed almost like the magic word a
seed this year because it was a lockout season and
they got off to a slow start, so it was like, oh,
they're an eight seed. Eh, just a bad regular season, yes.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
Paul, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
That next team was Spree Well Allan Houston, Camby, Larry Johnson,
Charlie Ward, Kurt Thomas, Chris Childs, Your Spurs, Dan, Tim Duncan,
David Robinson, Mario Ellie, Avery Johnson, Sean Elliott, and of
course Steve Kerr.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Dang. Wait, so there's no Parker Ginobili neither. They were
after Yeah, just after Okay.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Duncan was twenty two years old.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah. I remember going to a Spurs practice when Duncan
got there, and I remember after the practice, Vinnie Del
Negro invited me down. So you know, I'm watching this
Spurs practice. At the end of practice. Duncan's rookie year,
He's carrying all the equipment, so they're treating him like
(04:56):
a rookie there. I don't know if it's hazy but
he had to get all the basketballs together. He's carrying laundry,
all the towels, and you're looking at, you know, one
of the ten greatest players of all time, but they
traded him just like a rookie.
Speaker 6 (05:12):
Yeah, Paul, I think we may have underrated Tim Duncan's
rookie year ninety seven ninety eight. He averaged twenty one
and twelve. He was Rookie of the Year, he was
fifth for MVP, he was fifth for Defensive Player of
the Year. He was first team All NBA as a rookie.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Dang, but he suffers from the He was just fundamentally sound.
He was just so economically great. You know, David Robinson
would give you wow plays. Timmy never did that. It'd
be like a Chris Bank shot or something. And if
he had a block, it was a block to keep
(05:47):
it in bounds, keep it in play. You know, there's
a difference between the guillotine and water torture, and Duncan
was water torture. Just drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. And
he never sought publicity, didn't like doing interviews. Really, that
whole franchise when you think about it, I mean Parker
(06:08):
and Genobili, they didn't get much national attention. David did
I mean David To this day Fritzy could call up
David and probably get him on the show. Just a
wonderful person and enjoyed talking. Jimmy even to this day
he has no interest. He's like, nah, I'm good, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Tim Duncan is like Mike Trout with winning no offense. Well,
it's similar careers spotless didn't want the focal point, but
always in the playoffs, Tim Duncan.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But if Mike Trout had David Robinson and managed genobil
and Tony Parker might have you know, played in a
couple of World series. There are they great hitters, big
strikes on on Robert Big, big strike zone.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Yes, Marvin Well, Mike Trout has show Ha Tani four time.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I know he did. I know he did show Hey
Otani in a slump here. I don't think he's had
a hit in five or six games over eight. I
wonder if Otani the pitcher ever overshadows Otani the hitter.
This might be the year. But I wonder about that.
(07:16):
When you talk about Otani, you know just how great
he is as a hitter. But as a pitcher, if
he is really focused on pitching, I wonder if he
can not surpass what he's done as a hitter. That'll
never happen. But what if he wins the cy Young
Now he's the overwhelming favorite to be the MVP again
(07:36):
this year.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Yes, Paul, Yeah, showy Otani this year. He's got five starts,
thirty innings. Is areas point six zero?
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Yeah? Oh yep, quietly yes, yes, because we always you're
you're showing him hitting home runs usually, But a great
moment with the Yankees game where the Bleacher fans shouted
out John's Sterling last night. They usually do that for
roll call with the you know the players on the
(08:05):
team that they did that for John Sterling, who passed
away yesterday at the age of eighty seven. A lot
of tributes for John, and rightfully so, because that singular
voice is really rare as we move forward. You know,
growing up, we always had that, depending on where you lived,
(08:25):
that you had that voice. I mean, Los Angeles got
Spoiled Chick Hern, Vince Scully. I grew up in Cincinnati
had Marty Brenneman, Joe Knuxall, you had Harry Carey, Harry Kallis,
I mean Joe Buck, Jack Buck. But to have a
singular voice, certainly for baseball, because baseball is more of
(08:49):
a companion type listening sport, because it's daily one hundred
and sixty two games, and so your radio comes your companion.
That voice on your radio becomes your companion. And you
certainly had that with John. I mean, John loved what
he did. I don't know if he ever had a
(09:10):
bad day when he was doing a Yankee broadcast. He
truly loved it. And I know some people pointed out
Aaron Judge said he kind of brought Broadway to Yankee
Stadium with him, Yes, dealing.
Speaker 7 (09:24):
And I think baseball, of all the sports, lends itself
to radio like the pace of it lends itself to
radio way better. Like I don't know, if you've listened
to a hockey game on radio, it's tough. It's just
too much movement. So you can actually kind of take
your time with stuff.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
It's still too much movement. When I'm watching hockey last night,
I'm trying to watch, you know, and you're just going,
I'm watching Philadelphia's up to nothing, and then all of
a sudden, the Hurricanes come back to win three to two.
But I'm old trying to follow the puck. And you know,
I'm marvel at play by play announcers who do hockey
(10:01):
on radio. I absolutely marvel because it is constant and
you got to describe everything. Whereas TV you're afforded the
luxury of we can see a shot on goal or
a save, or you know, somebody collides with somebody. But
on radio you have to describe everything. And that's why
Doc Emrick was brilliant. First of all, the most selfless
(10:25):
person I've ever met in this business. It was all
about this sport. It was doing it right, it was
doing justice to it. That he never was going to
use the same description twice. He had to have the
right word at the right time, and he did it
over and over and over and over, and just a
wonderful person to be around. One of the nicest people
(10:48):
you ever be around. But he had a gift to
be able to see and say at the same time
and not lose. He never lost himself elf or tried
to become bigger than the moment. And I remember, you know,
I got a chance to spend a lot of time
(11:08):
with him at the Olympics in London and go to
dinner with him and meet the person just like Al Michaels.
I mean, imagine that I get to host the Olympics.
It's my first Olympics, and I go to dinner either
with Al Michaels or Mike every single night and just
(11:31):
sit there and listen. Because I didn't have anything to say.
I wanted them to say. I wanted them to talk.
And it was one of the greatest experiences I've ever
had because I got Doc Emeric, who might be the
greatest play by play guy of all time, and even Al,
who is not Chabby Al acknowledges Doc Emerck's brilliance as well.
(11:55):
But just to listen to them talk and they have
There's certain guys who have an unbelievably photo photographic memory,
and Al is one of the top people have ever met.
He'll tell you the weather. When I said, oh, remember
when the Pirates they played the Orioles, he goes, what
game and I'd be like, game three, Oh man, it
(12:17):
was overcat and I'm like, oh my god, he was.
He's unbelieved. Bob Costas is like that as well. They're
just certain people who have this photographic memory, and you know,
even Doc Emrick when he found out that I was
from the Dayton area, goes all the Dayton Gems and
they start telling me about the Dayton Gems hockey team.
(12:38):
So a long winded way of saying, having those voices,
it's a luxury, but there's not many left where you
get to, you know, tune in each night. Uh. You
know Milwaukee, the Brewers, they were very lucky. Bob Uker, Yes,
Tom and.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
Johnson made such an impact that it was great.
Speaker 8 (13:00):
How the play by play voices yesterday's games around the country.
We're using some of Sterling's words and phrases as if
they were calling a Yankee game. I thought that was
pretty classy that they all agree to do it.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I got doc Emrick, these are just words for passing,
So somebody compiled all of the words that he uses
for passing. The puck spirits, it slides, it fiddles, it rattles,
it forks, it shovels, it chips, it pokes, it JEMs,
(13:31):
it ricochets, it rams, it roughs, it scales, it leads,
it rifles, it directed, hoisted, pitched, popped, splatted, swatted finesses.
There's like eighty of these awesome. Yeah, vocabulary powerful, powerful.
(13:56):
Let me see Dennis in Minnesota. High Dennis, by the way,
the trainer for the Kentucky Dorby winning horse Golden Tempo,
Charie de Vaux Jonas moment. I asked if she could
bring the horse or she could be by the horse
when she did the interview, so maybe she'll be in
the stables with We're a going to.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
Surprise because I asked them. They said they'll definitely see
if they can bring the horse over. So we're gonna
all find.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Well, she can go to the horse. Horse doesn't have
to go to her.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
Yes, she can bring them along.
Speaker 4 (14:25):
But we did ask to see if the horse can
make an appearance.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Does the horse have prior commitment.
Speaker 4 (14:30):
It's very possible.
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Yeah, the horse is going to be on the Today Show.
But you'll get the trainer, all right, Uh? What what
was what was I going to say here?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
Dennis in Minnesota?
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Oh, Dennis, So I'm.
Speaker 9 (14:41):
Sorry, Hey Dennis, So that's all right, thanks for taking
my call. I have the suggestion for Marvin and I
think he should trademark the phrase loyal to the soil
and sell it to the makers of Penn's underwear.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Oh okay, how about loyal to the soil with true Green.
How about that loyal to the soil for dude wipes multipurpose' workshopping.
I like you, all right, this is this is how
it happens. This is the magic right here for our
scripted show. All right, More phone calls coming up, Reggie Miller.

One of the great stories over the weekend. One of
the great stories this year happening at the Kentucky Derby
as Golden Tempo came from last to first and the
trainer for the horse, Golden Tempo, Sharie de Vaux, joins
(16:25):
us on the program. Congratulations. Does Golden Tempo know that
he did something special?
Speaker 11 (16:32):
I think he does getting he's getting a lot more
attention and pats, and then he's auditioning for a stelling
career just now when we had him out with a
couple local reporters, so I think he's really relishing that
he's going to get to have a lot more fun
in his next phase of life.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Give me the race plan that you put forth before
the race started.
Speaker 11 (16:54):
So Golden Tempo is a deep closer, and we've tried
to get him a bit more in contact with the
field by putting the blinkers on him. That didn't really
seem to help. He just seems to like to let
everyone else do the hard work in front of him
and do his best running late. So the conversation with
(17:14):
Jose was really just you know, you're in an outside post.
Just let the field go in front of you, save
you get down to the rail, save ground, and then
you know he was gonna be wide at making his
run no matter what, just because of how he runs.
So it's really important that when you can, you're not
losing any you know, any distance in the race, any
(17:35):
ground as we call it. So and the other thing
I had mentioned to Jose is just he had in
his previous start in Louisiana Derby, he dove down to
the rail because he thought that's where the horse was
going to do his best running. But you really can't
do that in the field of the Kentucky Derby. There's
too much traffic. Horses are going to close you off.
(17:57):
And so I just said, just swing as why as
you can so you get a clear shot at it.
And if you could have drawn it up on a playbook,
then that would be exactly how Jose inactive.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
What can you see though from your vantage point, not much?
Speaker 11 (18:15):
All I could see, like Churchill's a bit tricky to
watch races, especially in a big crowd, so you were
watching on the TV, and most of the race he
wasn't even on the screen, and neither was his little
chick lit. So I was watching a lot of the
complexity of the first part of the race, and I
was hoping Jose was a man with a plan because
(18:35):
he was so far out of it, and they were,
to be fair, they were going really fast in front
of him, but I picked him up, like when they
came off the stretch and I could see him, and
that's when my wonderfully viral video of me cheering him
on started. And when they came by where I was standing,
(18:57):
he was just getting to renegade. And then you know,
then again they still had quite a lot of the
race left to run, so then I had to watch
it on the big screen. I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
What do you see when you see yourself in that moment?
Speaker 11 (19:16):
It just it felt like it was all the years
of hard work. You know, I've put a lot of
I've put all my life in this industry up to
this point, you know, from when I started twenty two
years ago, and it just seemed it felt like it
was a culmination of all of that. And I was
just so proud of Golden Tempo and just so elated
(19:36):
for Jose. And then I think myself was the last
thought that was is in my mind about that moment.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
How do you know you're good at your job?
Speaker 11 (19:49):
That's a good question. I A lot of people would
say results. For me, it's the result. But also, this
is a sport where you have to put the horse first,
in their safety first. And I'm gonna knock on woosse.
They hate saying this, but have a low rate of
(20:11):
significant incidents of horses getting hurt on the track, and
that's what I'm most proud of. You know, results come,
but putting the horse first and just making sure that
they're safe in their races and coming out of it
happy and healthy is what's most important.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Who have you heard from since the Wind? That would
surprise me?
Speaker 11 (20:36):
To be honest, I haven't even gotten through all my messages.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Okay, I mean.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
It was fun. I went to school in southwest Florida,
in a small town that has nothing to do with
horse racing, and that was a big deal. Then it's
it's kind of surreal when I'm watching you know, well
known figures talking about me on you know, on different
podiums and social media.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
When do you decide on the Preakness.
Speaker 11 (21:08):
We're going to give it a couple of days. It
could be as early as Wednesday or tomorrow or Thursday.
Daisies here representing the FIPS stable. So we just had
a little chat and you know, we just said, we
talk a little bit. He's going to go to the
track tomorrow and we'll come up, you know, we'll come
up with a plan in short order.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Yeah, because I'm not sure if horse racing has become
more specialized where we're gearing for the Derby, or we're
gearing for the Preakness, we're gearing for the Belmont, Whereas
when I was growing up, you were hoping that you
could be in all three races and win a triple crown.
I don't know how important that is. Can you enlighten
me on that in today's world of horse racing, Well.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
It's it's definitely different. We do focus more on the
race to race of you know, of what we're doing.
So then Tucky Derby was our big goal. We didn't
I didn't, not in a bad way. So they didn't
have faith in the horse. I couldn't believe that we
actually won. So and I haven't had a chance to
(22:11):
sit and catch my breath and really think about the
triple crown. You know, the factors in it are He's
a horse that relish is a mile and a quarter,
so he ran a mile in three sixteenths in his
previous start. So you know, I'm happy to have a
horse that can win the Kentucky Derby when the Bellmont
win the travels. But he's so specialized. But and that's
(22:32):
why we're waiting to see what his energy level is
like when he gets back to the track. You know,
see how he's moving, because he's going to have to
really take a jump forward to be able to take
that extra sixteenth of a mile away from him.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
So it wouldn't matter if I put in an extra
week in between the Derby and the Preakness, right, that
doesn't matter. It's just this horse as good at these
distances or this distance, okay.
Speaker 11 (22:56):
Exactly, And that has nothing to do with the timing.
And I admire and horse that tries for the Triple
Crown whether we take that route or not. But it's
a horse by horse basis. If you are a different
type of horse with a different running style, probably you know,
would play different in our decision making.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Secretariat's number still stands there, one fifty nine to four.
I think Secretariat would have won the Derby by fifteen
links given. But like it feels like everybody's evolving, athletes
are evolving, that we're getting bigger and stronger and better faster,
But Secretariats still remains. Why is that?
Speaker 11 (23:39):
Because he was an elite horse. He's one of the
greatest horses that ever roam the earth or you know,
in racing in our industry, so you know he was
elite and it just shows by him having those big
achievements in milestones that just can't even become close to
reaching in modern day.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
What souvenirs are you keeping from the race?
Speaker 11 (24:04):
I have my I made a custom pair of shoes,
so those are those are staying, and I have one
one rose from the garland, so that's being preserved. And
I didn't grab a thing of dirt. I should just
grab a big handful of dirt, but you know, definitely
not in my mind at the time.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
But send somebody back to get you some dirt there.
Speaker 12 (24:28):
I have.
Speaker 11 (24:28):
I do have a stable there, so it's not outside
of the realm, but it would have just been nice
to have the dirt on that day. You know, I'm
just kidding, it's that's probably gross. I have enough just
from walking back and forth from the track to the barn.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Did you bet on the race?
Speaker 11 (24:43):
I don't bet, rarely do I bet so. I think
it's enough pressure for the horse. They don't need the
weight of my financial burden on them either.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Did your friends bet?
Speaker 11 (24:57):
My friends did bet so. I had a lot of
happy a congratulatory text to me. But it's probably more
for them because they bet, and I think some of
them even had to trifecta Well.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Congratulations. It felt almost like a Disney movie as I'm
watching this unfold, and maybe they turn it into a movie.
But congratulations and good luck with the decision for the Preakness.
Speaker 11 (25:20):
Thank you so much. I appreciate you having me on.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's Cheri de Vaux, the trainer for the Kentucky Derby
winning Golden Tempo. The fact that you're watching and they
have a huge jumbo tron, but you can't see your
horse in the picture, and you got to remain as
calm as you possibly can because you know what the
horse is capable of doing. This is what this horse
(25:45):
specializes in. But you're not in the picture, and it
is the Derby, and there are really good horses and
you're a long shot, and all of a sudden you
start to get a glimpse of your colors the jockey.
Then all of a sudden you're on the outside because
when you're listening to the call, you're not hearing golden
(26:07):
tempo until pretty close to the end. Because I think thought,
you know, people thought Renegade was going to win, but
that's you just see this where you go, oh my god,
this horse is going to win.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
Yeah, Dylan, Yeah, for those who haven't seen the I
believe it's a drone shot of the whole race.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
It is.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
It's pretty cool.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
And also for those who are interested out there a
one dollar trifecta for friends at it paid out over
eleven grand.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Okay, that's nice. Yeah, I did not, You did not
have a bunch of others, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
When I saw that drone shot of the comeback, it
reminded me of DK Metcalf tracking down Buddha Baker running
the length of the field from behind it like he's
not going to get him? Is he running through all
the traffic?
Speaker 2 (26:52):
Horse? Cop didn't Ocho Sinko race a horse Chris collins
Worth Raco horse. I think the horse. I think it
was a horse that had never won that Chris Collinsworth
was racing against back when he was with the Bengals.
That sound right, yeah.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Back in nineteen eighty three, Chris Collinsworth of the Bengals
raced a seven year old horse named Mister Hurry. That name,
I gotta be quick. It was a publicy stunt. Collinsworth
lost by nine lengths.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Isn't that bad?
Speaker 7 (27:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:22):
It showed well. I don't know how far. They didn't
run all the way around the track. No, it was
like a hundred yard dash, wasn't it.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
The horse was unavailable for comment.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
Okay, thank you, yes, Dylan.
Speaker 7 (27:35):
What's the greatest man versus beast competition? Collinsworth the horse?
I think Michael Phelps raced a shark Kabb the MMA fighter.
He wrestled a bear. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Okay, I don't I don't know me. Sorry, I'm going
through my rolodex here on my mind, and I don't
have any other ones that'd come to mind.
Speaker 6 (27:59):
Yeah, just to be fair to Michael Phelps. We love
Michael Phelps, but he didn't get into a pool with
a shark, an actual shark. That would be quite dangerous.
He in twenty seventeen during Shark Week, he raised a
computer simulated great white shark.
Speaker 5 (28:12):
He lost by two seconds.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Yeah, but it would have been better theater if he's
in a I mean, he can't get to shark in
the pool with chlorine in that water, right, but saw
Michael Mike could have gotten into the ocean and had
a race.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Can you imagine tuning into that event?
Speaker 2 (28:28):
That'd be great.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
I think he's actually gonna race a shark. I'm kind
of disappointed.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Wait, he's not raising an actual shark.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
Yes, Ton, there was a twenty thirteen virtual race simulation
between a cheetah and Usain Bolt.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
I found that very interesting, not an actual race.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Who won?
Speaker 8 (28:46):
That would be the cheetah? Yeah, and say both said
he knew that the cheata would easily win.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
He got accused of cheetah and.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Thank you, Ton, that was nice.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
David in Ohio, Hi David, what's on your mind?
Speaker 13 (29:01):
Yeah?
Speaker 12 (29:01):
Dan, I've been on emerging market. So that was a
great donation to the sportsbooks. Anyway, you were mentioning earlier
about getting a gift for your last day, like taking
a collection. I think a great one would be maybe
rich Eyes and Tears from when you guys dominate him
down the family feud there, So thanks.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Well, thank you, David. I'm going to see rich eyes
in in a week or so. I'm going to see him.
Maybe maybe I could get some of those tears but
that a little vile yes feeling and make a nice.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Rear view mirror ornament for your new Porsche.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Yeah that you guys are going to get me? Yeah, yeah, okay,
that'd be nice. Uh, Zach and Knoxville, Hi, Zach, what's
on your mind today.
Speaker 13 (29:44):
Adip, thanks for taking my call just to defend Austin
Rivers and put a bow on.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
That whole Draymond Green comment.
Speaker 13 (29:50):
Uh, the late great Patrese O'Neill said, just because I'm fat,
I still have eyes And UH just want to ask
you if do you think Anthony Edwards or Wendy if
they make a run to the finals or win the finals,
would you put them ahead of say Joker or Luca
(30:11):
as the top player in the league.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Well SGA is the top player in the league, but
you get people's attention when you win an NBA title.
Anthony Edwards has been to the Western Conference finals last
two years. I am waiting for him to graduate to
the NBA finals with Wemby getting there. Yeah, Luca. I
(30:39):
don't know if Luca will ever win a championship. He
hadn't won an MVP yet, But you know, is he
able to come back in this year's postseason? Yes. Mark.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
When it comes to Anthony Edwards, to me, he feels
like he has a shack like quality as far as
this He's fun, he's got great soundbites, he's fun loving,
but when he's on the court, it is serious business.
He's eliminated Joker, Durant and Lebron in the playoffs and
he's a guy we don't speak about during the regular season,
(31:14):
but when it's playoff time. I never question a lot
of these young guys who can question whether they want
to be great or they love the game. With this guy,
you've never questioned that because when it's April and May,
he's coming ready to play.
Speaker 13 (31:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
And the fact that we didn't even know if he
would play in this series, or if he did, it
would be later in this series. Then he comes back,
comes off the bench, gets eighteen points. That's what you need.
And Minnesota is a good team. They're just not you know,
a fun team like where you go. Oh, we gotta
tune in to watch. Edwards is a great player. There's
(31:50):
a lot of great players. I mean Maxi is a
wonderful player. I mean he didn't play well last night.
But the NBA has a lot of great players, or
very good players or emerging players. You just need special players.
You need tune in factor players. Steph tune in. Even
(32:11):
Lebron is tune in. Depending on your love of offense,
in passing and big men. Joker is interesting. Wemby is
tune in factor. You know, that's what sports want. And
the NFL doesn't worry about that. But the NBA and
Major League Baseball? Who are your tune in players? And
(32:32):
that's part of the problem. You don't have that many
in Major League Baseball. You have great players, but it
is one Soto tune in quality, great player, But how
many of those players Paul Schemes, if he's pitching, I'll
watch Otani. If he's pitching or hitting, I'll watch I mean,
Mike Trout kind of reminded us Mike Trout Yankee Stadium
(32:56):
a couple of weeks ago. But I'm not seeking out
the Angels to watch, yes, Marv, So.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Are you just talking about fair weather fans? Like the
general sports fan, because if you love the sport, you're
gonna watch it no matter who's playing.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
Right For the most part.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I don't know. I think we are very territorial in
who we watch. Do we watch other teams? You know?
Is there is there a tune in player that you're
going to go, I'm you know, he's not playing against
my team, just standalone game. Am I going to watch that? Yes?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Mar, and take yourself out of the conversation because you
watch the most random teams. That's true, So we're not
talking about you. You're talking about just Joe, regular sports fan.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yes, okay, yes, like Tiger, even if you didn't like golf,
you were fascinated by this. Uh And I think people
were tuning into that, but I don't know how many
like you got to develop them, you got to showcase them.
Sometimes you actually you have to explain SGA to people
(33:59):
because you can watch and you can go, man, that
guy's good, but he's the MVP. He's going to be
an MVP again, he's already won a title. So sometimes
you have to explain jokers sometimes to people who may
not go, I don't get it, but those who do
get it, understand the greatness there. Wemby. You don't have
to explain. You're like, that is different than anybody. Yeah, PAULI,
(34:23):
And the opposite is true. If you win, you force
us to watch.
Speaker 6 (34:26):
If you go back to the Spurs back in the day,
Tony Parker was not an exciting player, but boy he
was a tough point guard and you respected his game
and Genobli. They were in the finals so often you
had to watch.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
And I remember members of the media be like, oh,
you gotta go back to San Antonio. Oh, we got
to go back to Utah. Not exactly exciting cities teams. Ah,
another bounce passed from John Stockton. Yes, Marvin, you're.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
Seeing that now with Oklahoma City Thunder.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
I know our good friend Vinnie Goodwill, he's always just
I was like, oh man, how's it going.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Probably going to Oklahoma City in June.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I say, oh, okay, Yeah. There's certain cities where I
loved Salt Lake. I thought it was sneaky fun. In
San Antonio, it's I had no reason to complain. I
was covering the NBA Finals like goal achieved didn't matter.
(35:26):
All right, take a break. And by the way, my
wife went to see Double War's product too. And she
came home and the first thing she said to me
kind of floored me. I'll have that for you when
we come back.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
My wife and some girlfriends went to see Double Waar
Prada two and she came back and I said, oh,
how is the movie? And she goes, you know what
stood out the most? And I go an half away
and she goes, no, no, no. I said Meryl Streep.
And she goes, yes, her haircut. And I said, oh,
(36:18):
you and Meryl Streep have a similar haircut or hair style.
And I go okay, And I guess I don't know
why she thought that, but she kept looking at Meryl
Streep and she thought of my hair. I don't know
if anybody else is going to see it that way.
(36:40):
I took it as a compliment. Do you see it, Pauline,
that Meryl Streep and my hair?
Speaker 6 (36:46):
Okay, I haven't seen DWP two, as mcleovin used to say,
but the coloring tone is similar.
Speaker 5 (36:54):
Yeah, the flow hers is a little longer.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Yeah, on the side, well, I'm thinking about maybe doing
it a little bit more to accentuate a little more moppy,
a little more streepy, Meryl streepy. I would say no, no, okay.
Speaker 6 (37:12):
Hers is like a flat white yours is more of
a streaky.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
White and gray.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm gonna say no on that, Okay. I mean,
I'm just like and I said, Okay, how was the movie?
She said better than I thought. And she said there
weren't great reviews, but she said that if the clothes
were great. Anne Hathaway was great as well. Emily Blunt
is in there too, but you don't have the guy
(37:38):
from Entourage, Adrian Grenier. Yeah, because Anne Hathaway moved on
from him, so he people want to know if he
was going to be in the sequel. Yes, Dylan Stanley Tucci,
isn't it right? Yeah, he's always good, Yeah he is.
Stanley Tucci is one of those actors where you just
go he makes it better. He does, he makes it.
Speaker 4 (37:58):
Better, makes mean possible to.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Yeah, he's traveling Italy and he'll tell you where he's
and then Eva Longoria is traveling in France, kind of
doing the same thing.
Speaker 6 (38:09):
Yes, Paul Gig, this new Hollywood thing of delayed sequels
is working out well. And are you guys all in
the date night DWP two vote.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Well, my wife already went to see it, so no, you.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
Don't have to go.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
No, she already went.
Speaker 5 (38:26):
She's not going to go again with you.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
No, I'm not going. She can go if she wants
to go. If she asked, I would say, man, I
don't think so unless we go like at eleven in
the morning, like the first showing, and she tends to
go eight o'clock at night, I would go at eight
in the morning.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
Yes, morph, I will be going to go see the
Dan Where's proud of too? I don't care if my
wife goes or not, but I'll be going.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Yes, Dylan, I'll see it with you Dan. No, No,
I don't want to see it.
Speaker 4 (38:58):
We're all going at eleven on Saturday morning. Yeah, eleven am.
Uh triple date where it's just us three.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Eh, you know, breakfast brunch. Maybe I'll wait till it
comes out streaming so you can watch her fifteen minutes
and then I know. No, if I go to the theater,
I do stay. I have to stay for the whole movie.
If I stream, I don't get through anything in a
single sitting.
Speaker 3 (39:23):
Yes, Ann Hathaway on the short list of the term
America's Sweetheart.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah, I think she's kind of She's not Sandra bullocky
Julia Robertsy. I don't think. I don't know if she's warm, friendly,
kind of like that. She's extremely talented, but you know,
Sandra Bullock had that kind of fun. You could have
a beer with her, you could go to a ball game.
(39:50):
I don't know if Ann Hathaway.
Speaker 4 (39:51):
Has that why because she uglyad it up in Miss Congeniality.
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Well, she just kind of I thought she was great
in Miss Congeniality.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Oh she was, But just.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Like her comedy, you know, with Melissa McCarthy, what is
that heat? Damn, there are some funny lines in Heat.
That's that's like my female version of step Brothers. Like
they're just great with their lines. Funny, funny, funny, funny.
Speaker 8 (40:18):
Yes, Tom Emily Blunt though may steal the show with
this sequel as far as sweethearts and people that may
get our attention or at least my attention, and seeing
that movie.
Speaker 2 (40:28):
Okay, well she was in the original. You don't know
anything about this. You know nothing about this. You had
to jump in. You didn't see the original.
Speaker 5 (40:43):
I saw parts of it.
Speaker 4 (40:44):
I guess I didn't see the pot where Emily Blunt was.
I think I think I would have remembered that.
Speaker 6 (40:47):
She's in the whole movie. She's in the entire movie.
It's not a cameo bout Emily Bloo mixed.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Up with Stanley tuc I think that might be might
a bit of Stanley Tucci.

be really upset with you. Yeah, Paul quick.
