Speaker 1 (00:04):
Doc Garrett will call us shortly.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
I think, maybe, hopefully, hopefully, Michael's got an injury that
he needs some help with, and of all days that
he needs him to be here and now is today
because he doesn't know whether he needs ice or heat.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Or a seargeon amputation. I don't think it'll be that drastic.
You never know, Andy, you never know.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
It could be I got I got suckered into a
previous relationship with watching Gray's Anatomy and my god, you
want to and I loved watching House, but you want
to talk about some of the most simple things where
it's like, oh, this person just went in for a
hiccup and they wound up dying.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
So well, I'm not a hypochondriac, but I'm just saying.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
That's over drama on a drama show. If there ever
was anything, I'm just saying, I could lose the leg.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't want to lose the leg.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Could lose the leg while we wait for him to
join us, And usually if he hasn't called in the
next minute or two, it means he's in a high
level meeting making sure that people's lives are in the
right order.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
He's probably poolside with mimosa in his hands.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Well, that was when he was on vacation. He forgot.
I don't think he's on vacation this week. He sent
me a text a little while ago said he was
good to go. Send him all the topics. We're all good.
So he might just be running now. We're just in
network killer mode time until we can get him back
on anyway. Oklahoma City and Minnesota last night, I've got
a couple of thoughts on that. The Minnesota Timberwolves and

(01:31):
their coaching staff is a little concerned that they are
saying that Shay gil just Alexander is baiting officials to
call fouls and that gets him too. The free throw line.
Kobe Bryant did that, Michael Jordan did that. A lot
of great players have always been able to figure out
a way to get fouls.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
That's part of the game. James Harden does it.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
James Harden does it every every minute of the game.
The King of floppers. But Shae isn't flopping. Here's what
Shay is doing. Shay is like Greg Manno's pitching a
baseball game.

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Okay, he is throwing at.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Ninety ninety two, ninety four, eighty seven eighty six, and
it's always in a different location. And Shay has about
fifteen different speeds in which he plays the game at
and sometimes he dribble, penetrates and backs up, sometimes he
keeps going. He goes left, he can go right, he
can dribble with either hand, he can go right, he
can go left. He can do pretty much anything he
wants with a basketball in his hand, and that is

(02:26):
unguardable unless he misses the shot, and he doesn't miss often.
And what I think we're seeing with Shay is the
defense does not know what he's going to do or
what direction.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
He's going to go.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
And that's something that is kind of unique, I think
to the NBA right now, and we haven't seen that
with players. I think Harden is probably the closest one
to it. But Harden travels and gets away with it.
Shaye's not traveling when he does the jab step in
the backup, the ball still.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
Bouncing on the ground.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
And what what I was seeing last night is one
time down they would think he was to take it
all the way to the basket, so they would follow
him and then he'd take a brief, you know, put
on the brakes and back up. Remember remember in Top
Gun Maverick when the fighter the fighter jet is on
on Maverick's tail, Just hit the brakes, He'll fly right by.
You're gonna that's exactly what. Yeah, you gotta bring him closer.

(03:19):
Shaye does that all the time, and it is really
really hard to defend. And I think you've got to
give him a lot of credit for being able to
play that way.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
I'll give a little bit of credit or a little
bit of backing Chris Finch and Minnesota Timberwolves because it's
not just Shay and We're we're seeing the NBA over
the past few years to where they are kind of
getting away a little bit from the so called foul
baiting where the offensive player kind of leans into now

(03:53):
the defender, if they're just going straight up, they lean
into him to cause the contact. For the most part,
they done a good job of saying, you know, not
calling it a foul or calling it the other way.
But he's just he's so talented that you can say
that he's trying to foul bait, which he can. But

(04:17):
it's just you got to be at times, you got
to be better fundamental. You've got to understand read this
scouting report. Hey, he's going to try to do this,
He's going to try to do that. Let's make sure
if he goes for a ball fake stay on the ground.
You know, even though the old adage back in the
day for Mono Ginobli, he's going to go left.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
We know he's gonna go.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Out, but shake and go either direction and it does
it really well. All right, we found Doug Garrett. We'll
talk more Oklahoma City in Minnesota coming up here in
a second. Jason, thank you for joining us today. Is
how's the CrossFit training going?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Garret? We just got our standings for a big competition
in August, and right now we're out of twenty five
of the high level teams were number seven, so me
and my partner awesome.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
All right, let's get into the topics for the day.
The NFL did not ban the tush push today. It
only got twenty two votes. It needed twenty four. As
a person who watches a lot of football and sees
the collisions that happen, and now you're seeing even more collisions,
are you concerned not only head injuries but lower extremity
injuries as well with all that contact on that play?

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yeah, I guess the good news is it's kind of
a slow play and you know what to expect, so
you're not getting much of a head of steam built up.
Now the defense figures out of way to get a
running start and hit that pile, then yeah, there could
be some serious injuries, especially head injuries, especially if you
catch a quarterback helmet to helmet or they just run
into a guy in front of them. There's a lot
of ways you can get minor concussions, a lot of alignment,

(05:47):
get tons of concussions that don't register, and which is
why they end up a lot of the CTE in
their fifties and severe mental problems.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
The NFL is going to allow players in the NFL
to play flag football in the twenty eight Olympics. There's
a lot of Olympians out there, a lot of athletes
out there that want to be an Olympian. They want
to experience the athletic village. They want to be part
of the track and field and swimming and gymnastics that
we look at even more closely. But this is there's

(06:16):
not gonna be a lot of contact unless you run
into each other head to head. But I can I
can see some achilles and some knees and some acls
and that kind of stuff happening.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Yeah, well, you have you ever watched a professional football player,
like a cornerback or wide receiver run without pads. They
are way faster, they're streaming fast with pads on. You
take those pads off, and now you're running it at
higher speed without the fear of contact or you're not
looking to get hit, so you can cut harder at
a higher speed. There's a really good chance they're going
to see some ACL tairs, some achilles stairs, definitely some

(06:48):
hamstring and groin pulls. So it's I was an NFL
football player because I believe that your contract could be
voided if you get injured during that time unless you're guaranteed.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah, I think they're going to waive that. I think
they're going to give you a give be a pass.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
All right? Then then, I mean your chance of an
Olympian it's probably worth it, but you know at what
costs for your future NFL?

Speaker 1 (07:08):
All right?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Jalen Brown has a meniscus tear. They say it's a
partial mediscus tear. What's the difference between partial and total?
And obviously he was able to play through it. I
would imagine that this is a relatively quick fix, or
is it.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Usually if you have a significant moniscus injury, you can't
play it all, so you get the partial terar its
sound like probably you've had. I've had. Usually they go in,
they just snipe it, and literally you're walking the next day.
You're pretty much full released activity within a month or sooner.
The fact that he's playing on it's probably a good
sign for that. Is they choose to do with repair,
that is a big surgery where it's four months of

(07:45):
non weight bearing, you're on crutches, long recovery because they
go in there and they sew it back together and
it has to readhere or heal and that takes forever
because it doesn't have a good blood supply, So don't
I don't know what they're gonna do. But if it's
just a minor tear and you can make a forward,
prety much for recovery. The downside of not getting repaired
is you're more likely to have arthritis later in life.
But I mean, we're all gonna have arthritis, so not

(08:07):
as well back on the court.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I might as well get back out there, all right.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I decided I did this a few years ago, but
I decided to get one of these memberships to what
they call Whoop. It's a little bracelet band that you
wear and it monitors all the details of you know,
your sleep, how much activity you have, how much stress
you have in your life. I know a lot of
golfers have done this, a lot of athletes do this.

(08:30):
There's others that have versions of this that can go
underneath a basketball jersey or shoulder pads so on. Of
my what is the most important thing to track when
it comes to your bodies, I guess biometrics.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
So I wore a Whoop for probably three straight years
without ever taking off. I'm gonna recharge it everything. So
I got lots of data. And the thing that I
mostly focused on, because there's a lot of information in there,
is your sleep, how well you slept, your total recovery,
and your HRV or your heart rate variability. The better
those three things are, and the more consistently you can

(09:06):
keep those high, the healthier gonna be, the less brain
fog you're gonna have, the more energy you're gonna have,
the more resilience you're gonna have, and may give you
a lot of information. Look, it'll tell you how many
times you woke up at night, it'll tell you when
you're awake, it'll tell your heart rate throughout the night.
It's really useful. And then you start to realize, what
did I do last night? Oh, yeah, I had three
whiskeys before bed, and my sleep in HRV was garbage.

(09:28):
I wonder I slept great, but I feel like crap.
You can start to correlate it to like, yeah, I
had a big sugary dinner right, a bunch of pasta
and I didn't sleep well. Or I had a steak
and I slept great, and so you can start to
fine tune your own recovery process.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
What is heart rate variability.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's the amount of time the micro time between heart contractions,
so not the amount of contractions per minute, but the
variability between the individual contractions. And generally the higher it is,
the better it is. But it's not the same for everybody.
So say your average was forty and then you did
uping really well, yesterday you slept well, and today it's fifty.
That means you're actually recovered more. Or if it's twenty,

(10:06):
I mean you didn't recover very well because maybe you
had too much alcohol or something else. I do know
some really high high end like world champion athletes, their
heart rate variability can be into two hundreds.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Most people are the thirties or forties, so it is
a it's a significant advantage if it's really high from
a endurance performance standpoint, and.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
It takes a few days to get that averaged out
too correct.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yeah, it'll and your whoop will walk you through it,
so one day you'll finally get it. And as long
as you wear the whoop every night when you sleep,
it's good. And it comes with a little charge on
it so you don't ever have to take it off.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
All right, let's talk about walking.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
I'm gonna do a lot of that next week as
the Scotland voyage begins. So what's a good recovery plan
after you have walked six or seven miles a day
when you normally don't.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
So ideally, after you get done playing, put the most
comfortable shoes you have on, because I'm guessing you're probably
gonna go to dinner, probably gonna enjoy yourself, your feet
up in the air, get the swelling out, and then
drink a lot of water because you're gonna have a
little bit of swelling just from me outside all day
and being dehydrated. Get some electrolytes and sleep as well
and as many hours as you can. That's when your

(11:12):
body recharges recovers. I know it's hard when you're on vacation.
You don't usually sleep all that great. But the higher
quality sleep you can get, the better your feet are
gonna be the next.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Day, all right.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
And also be even though it's cool or actually cold
compared to the conditions that we normally play in, you
still need to hydrate, correct.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
Yeah, I mean, even if it's just windy but cool,
you're constantly losing water. And if you're out there, like
you said, six seven hours on your feet, you're gonna
be just breathing is going to dehydrate to you. So
make sure you stay well hydrated.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
All right.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Michael's got an issue he wants to ask you about,
so I'll let him explain exactly what's going on with
his hamstring.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
All right.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
So went to bed perfectly fine, Doc, And then about
maybe three hours woke up, used the bathroom and I'm like, man,
my left leg is hurting and it's the back the
back of my left leg not the lower hamstring, but
the upper hamstring. I've tried to stretch it out all day.
I've took some tail and all I rubbed some icy
hot on it. Be Frank, I'm losing the leg ain't

(12:11):
I I'm losing the light.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
I mean you could. That's that's always a possibility.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
I told you I got it.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
If you didn't do anything workout wise yesterday or strain
it that you remember, it's probably not your hamstring either
cramped at night and you're getting some residual soreness from that,
or you could have a little nerve irritation which feels
like a hamstring issue, and the more you stretch that
a lot of times, the worst it's going to get.
So do the opposite. Stretch your hip flexers and try
to engage your core a little bit and see if

(12:40):
that loosens up your hamstring. If it continues to feel
like that, then let me know and we'll get you
in and fixure.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Yam. I'll come see you at that point.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
All right, all right, Jason, thanks so much. We'll talk
to you in the next few weeks and enjoy your
your CrossFit preparation. All right, thanks, all right, that's doctor
Jason Garrett from a Rosti and we will talk to
him down the road as well. So you're gonna be fine,
You're not losing the lake.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're all good.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
Yeah see, I told you that's why he's a doctor
and were and we just try to play one on radio. Yeah,
because we didn't stay at a motel six.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Remember a holiday inn?

Speaker 2 (13:15):
Holiday in Yeah, you stay at a holiday inn or
you or you're a doctor one. All right, let's get
back to Oklahoma City and Minnesota. We'll finish our discussion
on that. Coming up, it's the Andy Everage Show. On
