So we put together some of.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
The best of the best of Inside the NBA on
T and T. So we'll let them take it away
and we'll just laugh along the way, like like we've
done for the better part of a Barclay's been there now,
(00:40):
I think for like twenty five years, and Ernie Johnson's
been there since like the late eighties. Kenny Smith joined
after Barkley, and then Shaq came in just over a
decade ago, I want to say, twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen.
So we've it's just been there's nothing back. And I
(01:03):
love College Game Day on ESPN, I do, I really do.
I think it was great with Fowler, it's still great
with Rhys Davis. Pat McAfee has been a shot in
the arm. Nick Saban's been great. But there's nothing better
than Inside the NBA on TNT and I'm gonna miss it.
And even though yes, they're going over to ESPN next year,
(01:25):
it's just gonna be different because the music will be different.
It won't be on TNT and boyded TNT mess that up?
How do you allow the NBA to just go away?
What were you doing? And I don't blame Charles Barkley for,
you know, going after Warner Brothers Discovery and because he
(01:46):
was so mad, so I don't blame.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Him on that, all right.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
When I say, Vernon Yarnell Bellevue, we made it three
for three, ding ding ding ding ding hat trick three
for three on this show. So those are the three
winners today, Dennis Channel and Covington, Brad Sanchez and enom
Claw and Vernon Yarnell and Bellevue. There you go. Ian
(02:18):
Furness will give away another hopefully hundred dollars, will keep
it rolling at the top of next hour. All right,

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, they were about to get in a fight the
clippers and rockets, yes, And they were waiting outside the
locker room room.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
And someone did call the police. And that's why I
hope it wasn't a player, though I don't. I didn't
look into it and see if a player did call,
I'm guessing you with security, okay, security, they're the average
human beings. They really can't do nothing. When James Harden
pulls up to the locker room. No, I don't think
Mark James security guys and be like, hey, what are

Nobody want to go down to San Antonio, right, I know,
I disrespecting the whole.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Charles, but he's been doing that multiple times. That wasn't
just why he's done it so many times. And you
know what, there are certain people that have the power
and the license to say anything.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
One of those people is Charles Barkley. Chat gets upset
and then they start beefing, throw each.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Other around, right, yeah exactly. That might be the one
person that can check them.
Speaker 2 (06:43):

Speaker 7 (07:52):
And he's all you man, I mean, he's all you
mad some funny.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
He's not funny, but.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
There's no Shaq looked at one of the producers or something.
It was like, you think it's funny.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Yeah, but you could hear the entire audience in that
studio laughing from behind.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You could hear them all laughing.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Next in this one eleven out of sixteen from the floor,
two out of five, Yes, sir captain.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
And then then.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
There we love you, Steve and I join you in
the head shape. Yes, sir, play for the SUP. Yeah, hey, dude,
first taking the one and.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
I played for the SUP. Guys ever twenty five points
a game in the series the game here these guys
going like this.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
But you know what the crazy fut about that?
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
You cold like that crazy?
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Talking about the crazy part of Derek Whit's game is
he said that could be welcome program in this one.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Now now, since then, Derek White has shaved his head
completely because he probably didn't want to get made fun
of inside the NBA. Well I think he did. He
it's after they were making fun of him. Not long thereafter,
he went completely home. And it's it's it's funny. They
were basically saying that steven A and him look alike,
because you know stephen A, it's it's he's it's almost
(09:24):
he's you know, it's going a little bit, but you
know it's all good.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
He said, got to know you hosted first take and then.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
That night. Oh no, oh no, it's a shot at
steven A two, which is funny, which is funny, all right.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
That's not what Raymond is doing. Raymond is Brasen and
Joe and Joker. Instead of going around him, he's just
banging and banging and banging. Well, the guy's banging you,
you know you spent off of him. That was the
worst defenders to play against, actually, because if you can
feel their body, come on.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Eighteen points for Joker only Nugget in double figures, sixty
nine fifty nine, Golden State.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Shooting six paces way, I don't want to ride now.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Wait at the pool party.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
That's not what Raymond is doing. Raymond is bracing and
jo and Joker. Instead of going around him, he just
banging and banging and banging. When a guy's banging you,
you don't you spin.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Off of him.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Those the worst defenders to play against, actually, because if
you can feel their body, come on, yeah, eighty.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Come on, when a guy's banging you, you probably want
to spin off with him. I would, yeah, I'd probably
say that's that's a good thing that you want to do.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
There.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Wow, he cannect And you know, listen. I hope that
they they don't become watered down. I hope they don't
become water down. I really don't. But you just don't know.
You just don't know what it's going to be like,
and it's unfortunate. So I hope they keep it up.
(11:01):
One more thing I want to mention and we'll do
the what do you say? Text of the day. But
we got all names, so we already got a winner
for this hour. We'll have another winner for the top
of next hour. So I want to throw this out
there to four, nine, four or five to one. Your
thoughts on Oklahoma City going to the NBA Finals for
only the second time in franchise history. It's the second time,
(11:23):
it's not the fifth time. I don't count them with
the SuperSonics history. Your thoughts on that and how pissed
are you? Would you rather the San Francisco forty nine
Ers win a Super Bowl? Would you rather the Oregon
Ducks win a national championship in college football? Something that's
never happened? I might add over Okse winning the NBA
(11:46):
title because they are four wins away and I don't
see anyone stopping them. Four nine four five one ke
O'Neil zach.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Here you go.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Oh, come on right around, man, Put the gun. Put
the gun down, Hey, put the gun down.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Chuck.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Put the gun down, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Out that put the gun down, Chuck, Chuck, put the
gun down.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Put the gun down, Chuck.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
Oh my god, put the gun down. Don't do that, Chuck, Chuck.
I'm a Chuck.
Speaker 5 (12:27):
So if for those that don't know, Shaq has a
squirt gun, Chuck picks it up and Shaq is telling
him to put it down. Shack is just unloading the
squirt gun on Chuck and he's just frowzled.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Can't.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
He also doesn't want to keep getting wet, and Shack
is just holding it down. Put it down, Chuck, I
haven't even seen it, So that's what you're hearing.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
That's funny. That's funny.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
I'm gonna just tell you some women be milking that
baby thing.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Shoot Okay, Charles.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I can't be dealing as bad as playing a basketball
game with.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
I try to stop it.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm telling you why you a woman?
Speaker 1 (13:15):
There's a clock on the stove.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I just I always wondered why you know. I'm gonna
tell you. So women be milking that baby thing too.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
Oh no, all right, that's that, by the way, only
Charles Barkley.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
He said a woman being pregnant can't nearly be as
bad as a sprained ankle.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That is insane. That's Charles Barkley. There's only one.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
There's a don't ever change, Chuck, don't. And I hope
that Bristol they don't bristolize this show. Let them and
I'll tell you what if they do, Barkley, don't, He'll
just go, he'll quit, he'll walk away. If they're not
having fun the way they did on TNT, and they
try to bristolize this show and make it x'es and
(14:02):
o's and not the way it's been, which has been
the most natural, funnest show to watch in the history
of sports broadcasting, then oh boy, that's yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
I would like to apologize to all the woman listeners
that have had children.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Oh yeah, No, Charles On. That ignored Charles on that.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
They all had a triple single.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm told you he They thought he wasn't gonna play
with the spray egg had two points.
Speaker 4 (14:27):
He didn't play. Okay, wait you wait, you saw the
chase down block?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah? Two points? Are you gonna say he played? Yeah?
Two more points of me?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
Two points?
Speaker 3 (14:49):
He had the fortitude of play. I've never heard.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Calm and measured like that.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
What do you make of all what do you make
of all this stuff with Lebron and Luke Walton and
the Brian Windhorne.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Oh, that was about Draymond Green, and that started a
beef between Charles and Draymond Green, which they've sinceed. They've
they've swashed the triple single. And I was watching that
live when it happened. I started dying. And then Draymond
Green because he's ultra sensitive and exactly hey, Draymond YouTube.
(15:28):
Charles Barkley as a player, he was an MVP. He
matter of fact, people will say on the original Dream
Team in nineteen ninety two, he was the second best
player next to Michael Jordan. Charles Barkley was the truth.
That's a player, Draymond He was a lot better than you.
He wasn't surrounded with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson and
his prime and Kevin Durant for a couple of titles.
(15:50):
Either didn't have that, didn't have that. So Charles Barkley's
a lot better player than Draymond Green ever can think
about being Draymond Green's great, he'll be in the Hall
of Fame one day.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
But you're gonna go rings, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Yeah, I don't like, look at Durant, look at Curry,
look at Clay those I mean, and you were part
of it. But but like they say about Draymond he oh,
this is another thing Barkley said.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Kid, this is another thing Barkley said about.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Draymond He goes, he's the ugliest guy in a boy
band and he thinks he's justin Timberlake. Oh man, Barkley
had jokes. And I mean, when all in on Draymond Green,
he's the ugliest guy in.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
A boy band, but he thinks he's justin Timberlake. I
loved it. Oh Barkley won that one. We got him more.
Let's okay, Yeah, so you're so we're just like you.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
So we're watching it for the first time, go ahead.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Told Yeah, I'm telling you, I'm ready watch. I got
my new sniggers. I can make the emotion for me.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
Kenny's attempting to jump over the car and that commersion
of his Klobe years.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Ago Kenny Smith's smooth, very smooth.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Shoes.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Man, man, it was just a love.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
So yeah, you guys can't see it. But Kenny Smith
attempted to jump over the car and he got ran over.
So that's what they were laughing about. Classic clip Kobe's
commercial when he jumped over the car showing off his
new sneakers.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Yeah. Yeah, Kenny made a parody of it. Yeah, was
run over? I know, did you You know?
Speaker 2 (17:47):
It was funny too about Kenny Smith when he goes
to the big screen. Do you see both of his
knees turning inside?
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (17:52):
I wish they would do some knee surgery and get
this guy apparent and really it's yeah, I'm like, yeah,
there's no way you.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I mean, his knees are knocking. They're knocking.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
As he's like going towards the screen, I'm like, oh man,
it's like, did you play football?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
He's playing in the NFL. Do you play in the NBA?
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Because the way your knees are set up, you would
think he just got them destroyed playing wide receiver. Oh yeah,
because his knees go inward, they're not to go that way. Yes,
And then when he walks, it's like, yo, just have
a seat. No, I know, but he's he's comfortable with it.
Good for him, because there's no way in hell I
have knees like that and walking around. I'm trying to
(18:31):
get that.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
You got, you got great insurance. You would maybe maybe
in a.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Situation where it's like nothing you can do, kind of
like my pinky, you know, it's gonna look like the.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Way it looks for the rep forever. Oh, your pinky's
messed up. It's messed up, okay, and it's gonna look
ugly forever. And that's okay.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Uh So basically that again, it'll never be you know,
often imitated. It'll never be duplicated. The greatest sports studio
show in television history. Inside the NBA on TNT, come back,
Get we want more of your texts. Get your text
on how you feel about OKAC going the NBA Finals?
(19:09):
Is this worse than the Oregon Ducks winning the college
football National title? Where the San Francisco forty nine ers
winning their sixth Super Bowl four nine, four or five one.
You want to hear your text red live on the
air next on MJ in the midday Sports Radio ninety
three to three KJRFM.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
All right, before forget, thank you to Dan Wetzel.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
From ESPN senior writer coming on to talk about college
football and how the playoff system can be changing. And
I mentioned at the top of the hour and someone
text about this. I'll start off with the text good
to see good to see the rule changing regarding what
(19:58):
college football coaches can make for the Hall of Fame.
As Wazu koug Alum, I would love to see the
police pirate Mike Leach make it in, and I think
that will open the door for Mike Leach to get
into the College Football Hall of Fame. I added that
last part, but that's what the four to two five said.
I would love to see the police pirate Mike Leach
(20:18):
make it in.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
From the three to six to oh, nothing is close
to OKAC winning a title. They took our team. The
only positive is they didn't call themselves the Sonyx and
they changed all the colors. If Oregon wins a Natty.
That would stink. But at least U dub is in
the game.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
By the way, true to everything he said, I don't
disagree with one thing he said two oh six. F
the NBA and their bs deal with Amazon and anybody
else who's willing to allow it inside the NBA to disappear.
That's the equivalent of the network canceling Mash rather than
letting it run its course. I'm not an expert regarding
the goings on within the leadership of the NBA, but
I really liked Adam Silver when he was first made commissioner,
(20:58):
almost exclusively because I felt that was gonna bring my
Sonics back.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
I could go on and on. But inside the NBA
is more valuable to the NBA than they must realize. Amen.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Amen, this is from the two oh six. Chuck is
the real goat, no question. You cannot dislike sir Charles
if you are a human.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Triple Amen to that, triple Amen to that from the
two five to three. How does TNT fumble one of
the greatest sports shows ever. I'd fire every executive at
TNT the day they knew they lost the NBA. Seriously,
it's gonna be different, man, it's gonna be different.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
I yeah, NBC is getting it back. That'll be cool.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Michael Jordan's gonna get like forty three million dollars. You know,
he's gonna do stuff. I mean, ABA, NBC did a
great job with the NBA.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
They did. Can I just tell you, I just say this.
I'm gonna say it anyway, so yeah, I can say it.
I grew up a New York Knicks fan. I'm not.
I'm not blown away by Mike Breen. I'm not. I
think he's okay.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
I don't think he should be the voice of the
NBA Finals. I just don't now my partial to Iron Eagle, yes,
because I know him' friends with the guy. But even
if I wasn't, I'd rather have Iron Eagle do the
NBA Finals than Mike Breen.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I think Mike Breen's in the Hall of Fame, kudos.
I just he just doesn't have that that thing, that
it thing, that indescribable thing that you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
It's just that it thing. Like I'm oh, I'll tell
you what I am looking forward to. Guess who's gonna
do games on for the NBA and NBC.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
This is my guy.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
The best play by play announcer on the planet. Mike
to Rico, Love Mike to Rico. Flawless. You know what
they called him in Bristol, the man with the Golden tongue,
because he's flawless. He is amazing. I love Mike to
Rico from the two.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
Five to three mark. It's pretty wild.
Speaker 5 (22:59):
You've already get give them the chip to the Okac
thunder after seeing what the Pacers did to your knicks.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I know, I know, but here's the thing. For me,
there's two reasons why. And I know people in Seattle
are knawani. Is I financial interest in Okay, see winning
it all?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Now?
Speaker 2 (23:13):
I put more money in Denver. Denver let me down,
So now I gotta stick with Okac.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'm in it with them.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
And I don't want the Pacers to win the NBA title.
No f in way on that one. No way, no way.
Speaker 3 (23:26):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Okac being four wins away from a title pisces me
right off. But I'm gonna watch them the same way
I listen to your show. I hope they blow it
and get sent back East.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I godly I read the negative Woods too. It's okay.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
I'm not sure if I don't care, or if I
don't care about OKAC, I lived in Oka. See the
place is an armpit. Oh it's horrible. I mean it's
absolutely pathetic.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
From the two five three, I'm not as pissed as
most fans over OKAC success because I just think it's
going to lead to a bigger outcry over the injustice
that Seattle doesn't have a team. It might get Adam
Silver to finally announce an expansion team. Amen from your
Mouse to God's Ears.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
From the two O six, who are the Oklahoma City Thunder?
Sounds like an arena Football League team.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
They do they do. Uh.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Here's two more.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Born and raised from the two O six, born and
raised in Seattle and was at the seventy nine celebration.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Go OKC.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Jet H is awesome in jet olmgrin another one from
the two five to three. I'm okay with OKC winning
only if they announced the Sonics coming back as an
expansion team this summer.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Fair enough, that's cool? Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
I don't want to wait till this summer, even though
the summer's coming up in about three weeks.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
I want it now.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
I want to announce it. Now, come on, Adam Silver.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
Let's go from our guy Travis, not the two six MJ.
We need an update on dating life of voting, the
psychos and the free loaders.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
Maybe hopefully have something more at this week. But yes,
I am nobody's soliciting me for five hundred dollars for
a new dress before the date. Translation as Softy Softie
said to me, Yeah, I heard you were I heard
you were taking you were going to date a Russian hooker.
I said, well, I didn't know she was. We met
once for coffee and all was good. Then before we
go out on a dinner date, she asked me for
five hundred dollars. Suffice to say that never happened. I'm
(25:29):
not as pissed as most Sonics fans over OKC success.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Oh I already did that one. That's that's e on me.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Uh, ESPN will ruin the show. I don't doubt that.
I don't doubt that they will.
Speaker 5 (25:44):
Hmm.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
How about this one regarding OKC.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Winning a single thing or OKC fans enjoying the tiniest
morsel of NBA basketball. Well, Eminem has a famous line
mentioned David Karen Dyne and that's how I feel about OKAC,
and I'll leave it at that. Ooh wow, it's pretty harsh. Anymore, kid,
(26:13):
that was all right, I'm gonna give you one more.
Number One worse would be Oregon f ducks because I
have to live around some of those people. I have
ze roo zero plans to go anywhere near the state
of Oklahoma. This is true on that, all right, let
me get let me get one more here. OKAC still
(26:36):
has to win it all. But if they do and
it's before our songs return, I'd say I'd compare it
to zipping up our junk in our zipper. Okay, there's
a thought, and from the two five to three, there's
no bigger Sonics fan than myself, and I've been bitter
for far way too many years. But the reality is
this current ok team, their fans, and everyone else involved
(26:59):
really had nothing to do with the sleaziness of the
past commissioner, Starbucks, CEO and Clay Bennett. What's more infuriating
is the current commissioners continue neglect to put a team,
and it's beginning to feel as if there was a
pack made between the former commissioner and the current to
never bring a team back. Well, let's hope that's not
(27:22):
the case. I don't think it is. All right, those
that's the what do you say? Texts of the day
and someone else? Two more ultimate finger to us. If
the thunder win and they give us a team right
after and OKC fans are not Seattle's enemies, Oregon fans
would be insufferable. Wow, nobody wants Oregon to win that title.
(27:44):
I don't blame you there. And by the way, don't
worry about it. They're not going to be winning a
title anytime soon. See twenty twenty four, see every year
prior to that. All right, we'll talk to the mayor
of Maple Valley in for an s next right here
on cross Talk on MJ in the middays. We close
it out on Thursday Sports Radio ninety three to three
KJR f M. The Mayor's in the house. Thanks again
(28:14):
at Dan Wetzel from ESPN. I mean El Hassan will
join us. Uh, longtime NBA guy and uh he's with
the Dan Levertard Show. He's gonna be at the Knicks
Pacers game tonight, so we'll have him to marrow. Yeah,
I know, congrats, Well, it should be soon. Congratulations to
Mike Leach for rightfully getting in the College Football Hall
(28:35):
of Fame and they changed the criteria and uh, kudos
to the Pirate.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Good for him.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Yeah, we're gonna touch it on that first SEGMENTA. I
want to go back to your stuff with the TNT stuff. Yeah, yeah,
I watched how long ago was the Chris Paul thing?
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Do you remember kid? Five years ago? Six years ago? No,
this was like maybe nine years ago. Yeah, okay, yeah,
he was a rocket.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
Yeah, and Blake was with, uh, you're right, Doc Rivers
bl blol exactly. I watched that one live. The body
language on that was awesome, Like they were just killing
Blake Griff and that was kind of the time everyone
had kill Blake Griffin. Like everything about Blake Griffin was bad.
But yeah, uh I that was one of the best
(29:17):
moments ever. But I heard you saying this earlier, and
I think it's gonna be interesting with because the show's
not over. But they're gonna be bristolized. Well, here's you
know what I mean. The only way they're bristolized is
if they and we're watching ESPN right now. The only
way they're bristolized is if they do, if they add
to the show, if they force screaming a Smith or
(29:40):
Big Old Kendrick on, if they if they each other,
I know, so I don't think they will. Only way
it's it's bristolized because I don't think because I thought
it was interesting. You played the audio earlier of Russo
and screaming a yelling at each other, just screaming at
each other, and so Bristol likes that stuff. If if
(30:03):
it's them, the only way it's in my opinion, I
don't what you guys think. The only way it's bristolized
is if they force the current ESPN NBA people onto
that show. If they do that, the show's over.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
I heard they're not. They can't. I heard that it's
complete creative in the content. They're just they're just it's
like the Pat McAfee show. They're just renting it.
Speaker 8 (30:27):
Yeah, because if they because then because then it stays
the same. Yeah, it's just it's just a different place
to find it.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And listen.
Speaker 8 (30:35):
We found it on TNT years ago, on tru TV.
We find NCAA tournament games on True TV.
Speaker 1 (30:42):
We'll find it. It's fine. The outlet. If it's like
McAfee and it's on its own island. That's it.
Speaker 8 (30:48):
And because what will kill it is if you put
this and again, we're watching whatever this NBA show is
on right now. If you put that on there right
or you replace you know what worry me that they
would replace Ernie with Scott Vanpelt, That's what would worry me,
(31:08):
because like they don't do postgame shows ESPN, now about it.
They don't because every whether it's the NFL, some money,
that football ends, what do they do? Scott Vapel NFL
and an NBA playoff game ends, Where did they go?
They go right to Scott Vampell. NHL playoff game go
ends right to Scott Vampel. First of all, if you're
the studio crew for ESPN, for NBA, NFL, NHL, it's
(31:32):
the easiest gig in the world because you just have
to do pre pregame.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
You don't do postgame. That's true, Like you post and
Scott van pel will interview, like Shake Gills is Alexander Yeah,
he yeah, he bro hugs everybody. Oh yeah, I love you,
you know. But that's the way.
Speaker 8 (31:48):
If they just let those dudes stay those guys, it'll
be fine.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
Like, I honestly believe I think they will because here's
the thing about it, this is why I think they will.
Like Pat mckett, fee inside the NBA doesn't need ESPN.
ESPN needs inside the NBA.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Yeah, because you can always they can always take a
go to NBA TV, or they could just say I'm done, yeah,
bark Like they could just say I'm done, Barkley. You know,
they made so much money, they don't need this card.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Do it? And then once you listen, you gotta keep
every just say you guys, do it. We're gonna have
maybe more bells and whistles and more graphics, but it's
just you guys. Like you said, that is a good
point Ian what you just said about postgame, because these
guys can just go on and laughing and they what
are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (32:34):
You can't. What are you gonna do? You're gonna tell.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
Chuck Kenny Shaq and Ernie Oh, Scott Fan we gotta
hurry up for Scott Van Pelt.
Speaker 8 (32:42):
Yeah, you can't, because I'm hoping that we get because
this what's a bummer about about the NBA Finals? Now, well,
the big bumber is who's in it? But outside of
that now it goes back to ESPN. I'm a and
maybe I'm just a nerd sports media nerd. I like
post shows. I want a post game show. I want
somebody to tell me what happened and break it all
(33:04):
down and go through that I want.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
I want that.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
I don't need five interviews with you know, anchor on
the set, interviewing player that gives you.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
I want it.
Speaker 8 (33:14):
I want opinions. I want I want a breakdown. I
want to know why something happened. If someone sucked, I
want them to say someone sucked.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
I want it.
Speaker 8 (33:23):
If they're great, I want to hear that. I want
I want to react to the game. I don't need
any the interviews. You give me one interview and we're
good now, because really, if we're being honest, how many
athlete interviews postgamer are compelling?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Not many? Not many at all.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
I mean, I think Richard Sherman, Nahir and Andrews is
one of the only look that comes out.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
But like we had like like yeah, something like that
when you go to Super Bowl. But you know, when
we do, you know, and we're not to be all
to end all but our crack and post games when
they win or lose, Piper will get a person on.
She's great at what she does, and what she'll do
is she'll she knows who can talk, and she'll know
who will say something. And when I did Seahawks, he
asked pointing questions. I noticed that when I did Seahawks
(34:05):
for all those years, I didn't I asked for guys.
I didn't care if the guy was like a superstar
or a huge name. I wanted to get a guy
on that would tell me something. But that's all you need.
After that, I want to break down, like I want,
what's what's my guy? You know at the time, Jordan
Babino or whyman? Whoever's on our post game? Like what
are they saying? You mentioned the x's and o's. ESPN
doesn't do x's and o's. No, they haven't an xs No,
(34:28):
not in basketball. These guys aren't capable of doing x's
and o's. I got a quick question these guys being
what they currently have.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Before you tell me what's coming up on your show,
what would be the worse for you? Okay, see winning
a title you dub winning a national title in college football,
which they already have, or Oregon or San Francis they
shared that title ninety one?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Right, and we know who the team that right? They shared?
They shared? They shared?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Right?
Speaker 8 (34:53):
They they did share? Yeah, I don't forget four nine
four five one here it comes. Yes, did they share
that title yesterday?
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Share that title?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Right?
Speaker 1 (35:01):
By way?
Speaker 4 (35:01):
Chris?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Who is the team that won the AP National title
that year?
Speaker 3 (35:04):
You know?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Asked the mayor? Who was the team that won the
AP National title? I wasn't Washington.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Who was it?
Speaker 1 (35:10):
I think it was the University of Miami.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (35:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, no, I I uh, I mean, but.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
What would be the worst nightmare in Ian Furness's life?
Because here's why I appreciate Here's why I appreciate your
because I've resigned myself to Oklahoma City. I've already got
to that point. I've I've I've come to grips with it.
It's okay, it's going to happen. So I've come to
grips with it. So I'm now we move on.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
So you double be the worst for you? Oh got cha?
Speaker 3 (35:39):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Worse than Oregon? Do you know who I do cross
talk with every day? Yes? National title? Go dogs, man,
Oklahoma is gonna win.
Speaker 8 (35:57):
So I mean, that's that's that's the problem, and that's
you know, I this is how much like the Athletic,
just sort of a big story on them, like you
know why they're built for the long haul?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
You know this is And I wouldn't even click on it.
I don't want to click on it. I don't want
to give them that. I don't want to give them
a click on the Athletic. And I love the Athletic.
I read like ten stories a day on there. I
read that one. No chance know how they're gonna win it.
That's fine, but yeah, it's okay you by the way,
I appreciate your transparency. I love it. Yeah, I always.
Speaker 8 (36:26):
I never quite understand when fans get upset about rivalries,
like you know, people will screw you, like really like
because you're the same guy that probably would if you
asked that question reverse that you know, oklahom c or
the Ducks, they might say the Ducks, Yeah right, because
the patre for the Ducks is so Yeah, I get it,
I get it.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
That's awesome.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
I appreciate you say that because you're Audits and listen,
you're Wazoo alum. You're a prominent alum. Long Christopher Kidd
and they're certainly not prominent. Well hey uh and kudos
