San Antonio, as I am multitasking trying to post a story,
as I do a show intro, very very professional, but.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Broadcasting live here on.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
The North side of San Antonio, where we find ourselves
sixteen days away now from the NBA Draft, although most
of the drama of the first round is at least
the top two picks not going to be much drama.
But and if you follow any of the reporting coming
out this week, it sounds like there are really smart

(01:00):
NBA analyst NBA journalists that are predicting absolute chaos and carnage.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Did you hear about that one seven foot two guard
climbing up the boards, that the Spurs were looking.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
At the French kid from Stanford, the eighteen year old.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Might be an interesting pick at fourteen, if they even
still have the fourteenth pick. That voice you hear, of course,
is the cap joining me in the room here for
another edition of this along with LG Running Things in
parts unknown also called a different room, which always if

Yeah, there's a plain gray wall right next to you
there that that's just empty.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I mean it could be old school sports pictures up here,
like bo Jackson.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
Yeah, as long as they're in good condition and framed
and stuff that would be cool.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You gotta be framed, y'all.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Y'all don't understand, uh, the the great pre show debates
that take place right usually about ninety seconds before we're
going live. Last week, actually, uh, last week it was
LG dropping a classic reference to the aerial Castro kidnapping

(03:02):
ring in Cincinnati and the viral Inner News interview with
Charles Ramsey. LG hit me with that, like thirty seconds
before we went live last week.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
I was testing drops.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Well, the power of drops are for the next All
of last week, I just kept walking around saying dead giveaway.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
Giveaway, dah giveaway.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
There it is.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
So we will close the show tonight with another edition
of Ebomb's Corner, where we are going to go back
to twenty thirteen and relive that one of my favorite
pieces of internet media, one of my favorite pieces of
audio ever. So we will revisit that to close out
the show. Main segment, we're gonna get caught up on

(03:48):
the doings in the NBA Finals, as well as a
bold prediction from Bill Simmons that involves our spurs.

Speaker 1 (03:56):

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Of course, we'll close.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Out with a little lightning around but since it is
Monday night. We got to start with a weekend recap
where I don't know about y'all, but I felt like I.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Was running around all weekend.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
It was one of those weekends where I didn't have well,
I can't say I didn't have five minutes to myself,
because I'll talk about that here in a minute. I
actually had all of Sunday to myself because it was
another drive stuff. It was another try not to overreact
or overplay your cards as you're driving your significant other
to the airport and ah, darling, I'm gonna I'm gonna

(04:34):
miss you all week. Wait you're not back till Thursday.
Oh well that's four days one am my?

Speaker 1 (04:43):
What we got on board? Some singles and some free
time or what?

Speaker 4 (04:46):
Well I was I was.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
I was browsing Craigslist for the gang bangs, but I
couldn't find any, so instead it was a lot of
grand theft auto online for the gang bang. But it well,
since I got into an argument with my buddy, So
Sunday was that snow. That was Saturday Saturday we did.
If y'all don't know or didn't hear me mention, it

(05:10):
a couple of weeks ago. Stuph the roommate just finished
grad school.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
She's a mass she is my boy.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Don't remind her she doesn't. She doesn't need she did.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
She didn't need the paper to uh to make that
claim to begin with. But uh, Saturday, two thirds of
this program were in attendance, UH said graduation party Saturday.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, and I know I was not.

Speaker 4 (05:39):
It was great to see LG there.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Well, I know, like, well, first off, the whole surprise thing.
Then LG's like, are you going to the graduation? And
I didn't hear roommate. I just heard, uh. I think
you said girlfriend or some much friend. He's like, you're
going to go to the post free.

Speaker 5 (05:55):
My exact words were roommates, roommate, That's exactly what I hear.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
What I dude, you know what I mean?

Speaker 5 (06:01):
You were half asleep when I called you.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
Don't lie, I woke you up.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
It was like eleven thirty am.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I had stuff to do at that time. Yeah, well
so did we. And it was a too you know,
you know what I you know what I had to do,
Like I go to stretch zone, I get stretched out
by my girls, so shout out to Brianna who stretched
me out today. She said she was gonna be listening.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Well, shout out Brianna. Yeah the stretch masters. Okay, I
bet she has a master's in stretch.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
He's a master or craft man on like I only
go raving brionn over It Stretch Zone by a Stone
oak by six oh four and sixteen Mico.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
Well, I'm glad you were good and stretched out for
the show, but you did miss you did miss a.

Speaker 4 (06:44):
Good party Saturday.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Shout out thanks to everybody at Charity Bar, especially chef
Ernie over there that uh, you know, LG and I
stumbled into an interesting similarity we share that I and
this is. This is where I lead this as a
well it's a little early for prostate chuck as I

(07:11):
lead this with I'm not it's not racist, but.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Man, don't don't don't ever say it's not racist and
put a butt right next after it. I'm not gay,
but well you know I'm not.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
But we do have some we do have some local
gay news coming up.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
Racist but.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
It's not racist.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
But I guess just a larger part of part of
me assumed that LG would love Kimchi oh Man.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, Yeah, well, that's just what stereotypes. Man.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
It's stereotypes, for sure, but it's also the common.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
It's more so because LG is always anytime I talk
about some random food, he usually knows what I'm talking
or has heard of it or even tried it.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Like did you bring some kin chi to the to
the graduation party just for LG? No feel included?

Speaker 2 (08:04):
No.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
What's even better is it turns out the kim chi
that Ernie serves at Charity Bar in the pork and
kim chi fried dumplings that are amazing.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
L G and I share the.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Stance that that is the only time I've ever had
kim chi that I actually enjoy.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
It isn't kim chi just like.

Speaker 3 (08:26):
Pickled pickles, fermented, cabin fermented there you rotten cabbage.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (08:35):
In these what are they again?

Speaker 4 (08:36):
They are pork and kim chi dumplings.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
If the pork in the batter from the dumplings overpower
that kim well, it's kind of.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Like when someone says, like, I don't like uh, I
don't like cauliflower, but have you tried it fried and
doused in buffalo sauce?

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Yeah? Exactly?

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Like, yeah, no, you're gonna love it. You just haven't
had it fried in a dumpling.

Speaker 5 (08:59):
Or I haven't tried that, but i'd like to.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
It's pretty good. I have like cauliflower burgers.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
And I don't like the flower crust on the pizza.
I'm not a fan.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
Now, that's that's not a good application.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Shout out to my friend Ryan over a Pizza Classic
says he's got the best cauliflower pizza crust in the game. Okay,
still have tried.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
I feel like that.

Speaker 5 (09:18):
I like it.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
I feel like that's also claiming to be the hottest
person in Siberia.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Like, well, you don't know in Siberia, you got like them?
Is that another stereotype?

Speaker 3 (09:28):
Well, we're just we're not even ten minutes and we're
hitting all of the stereotypes before we even We're gonna
trifecta of local news stories.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
Now.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
It was uh, it was a good it was a
good turnout. Poor you know, the roommate as always, she's
so you know, wound up wound tye about people not
even showing up. Well, oh yeah, we had more people
than we could accommodate, which that was fine.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
That's a good thing.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Absolutely, And on top of that, my my parents took
it upon themselves to drive down.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
So it was this is only the.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
If I knew your if I knew the big pooma
was going to be there, I might have gone.

Speaker 4 (10:11):
That's literally the biggest I.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Want to do. So one of my thoughts was, I
was like, did they pick a place that has bad
air conditioning? Was, well, it's on the south and I'm like,
it's hot out there.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Man, I'm a big guy, and when you get a
lot of people in small.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Rooms and I don't know eighty percent of them, it
was gonna be like, there there be a chair next
to air conditioning.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
Well, that was where I sat.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
That was where I said all day was in a
chair in front of a fan as we were entertaining guests.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
So so the pops came along.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
Huh yeah, Mom, it was only the second time, Like
the first time my parents met the roommate's parents, oh,
the in laws.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
It was the wedding.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
Oh, this is now the second time, and that wedding
was seven years ago.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I still don't think my mom ever met my in laws.
My dad did at the wedding. Yeah, and that's the
way to do it. Yeah, you don't need a whole
lot of cross pollinations. They don't need to talk to
each other.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
No, God, unless you're unless you're in the same city,
and they're like, you know, sharing custody of the grandkids
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Well, yeah, I mean that's if we had babies and stuff.
But we had a teenager. So you don't need.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, you don't need you don't need to cross those
but if you all will remember so unfortunately, also remember
this next time you talk about anything slightly racy.

Speaker 4 (11:42):
My mother listens to this.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Program God, and I'm gonna have to forget that.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
One of the first.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Things that she hit me with when I saw her
Saturday at the party. One of the first things was
she let me know that I don't need to be it.
I was a little too hard on the monthly month
long celebrations or the month long observation.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
From a couple episodes out a.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Very sympathetic point of view, you came out more of
like this is just straight horse bull.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well, funny look and I want to make sure, like anything,
I want to make sure my point was was made clear.
There's a huge difference between like Military Appreciation Month versus
like the Vegan Anuary, Like vegan January or whatever. They however,

(12:37):
they even want to say that November.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
I mean, your mom's listening to this, say remember remember
that you should never have told me that.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
So these are some of the These are some of
the month long observances that I was specifically referencing because
when I worked in you know, when I worked as
a publicist for a PR firm.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
It's actually how I met Chef Eernie at charity.

Speaker 3 (13:02):
The easiest way, it's easy, very nice, the easiest way
to get a restaurant media attention, to get them on TV,
or to get them included in an article on myssay whatever.
It's all of these bunk holidays. It's like it's National
Pizza Day, It's National donut Day.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
It's right.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
So it's I have a love hate relationship because it
they made They made my life really easy back then.
But now when I don't have to care about them,
I just look at them as absolute hallmark holidays that
serve no purpose but making it easier on the businesses
to promote themselves.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Why would you have disdain for something making your job easier?
Because it's the time.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Because I'll tell you why, because you should be it
should be like, hey you, because I thought of myself
as an actual, UH, proper publicists who didn't need to
rely on easy, low hanging fruit.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
To get.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Exactly we're doing.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
We're doing serious, serious pr work here at UH, at
the firm at r VR.

Speaker 4 (14:16):
So these are some of the there's.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Some there's a lot of the one like you mentioned,
no November, there's dry January.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
So there's stuff like that that's a little more loose.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
The vegan January absolutely is a real one, but apparently
that is what the UK does in January and then
United States January. Have y'all have you ever realized it is?
It's slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention month every January.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Wouldn't that be? Shouldn't that be every month?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
That's that's kind of my whole point on this, like
how much how much human trafficking prevention are we actually
achieving by telling people the entire month of January.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Don't pigot the rubbin tugs or what right.

Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's already they're already getting hit hard.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
Robert kraft.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
I found this one interesting. January.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
Obviously we know here in the United States Black History Month,
it's also American Heart month.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Did you say Februarybruary in February? Now, okay, so Black
History Month, you got to give them the lowest month
of the.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Year, of course, shortest month, shortest in the best month
though everybody knows February is the best month.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Not when you're paying bills. Well, that's the worst month.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
It's a little crucial, it's a little bit different. And
it could just be that my birthday is in February.
I like February.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Humble brag again.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
I think there's again you could could probably make some
stereotypical connections between heart month and Black History Month, more
of the more of the healthcare.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
The diabetes. You could make some connections. Me wonder what,
like where who is that.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Was that raised sickle cell?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Because that's what I'm saying, Like who?

Speaker 3 (16:06):
It makes me wonder like who came up with deciding
February also needs to be that.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
But in the United Kingdom beat this month.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
So right now we're in Pride month now in June.
February is LGBT History Month in the UK.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Uh Okay, Like, well, I mean, can they give the
history of a you know, a naval veteran that served
his country proudly and got dishonorably discharged for being homosexual
and then got assassinated with the San Francisco mayor, and
our new secretary depends moved to move from USS Milk. Yeah,
because we love the veterans.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
We need war fighters, cap we need war fighters, we
need your mentality in march mustache March. That's a throwaways.
That's even one easy one. Uh, to all of my
Irish Americans out there, did you.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Know your potato eating Saint Patrick's days? Oh? Yeah, there
you go.

Speaker 4 (17:04):
So it's the Irish American Heritage Month, the whole month.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
I mean, they were basically the slaves before the slaves
came over.

Speaker 4 (17:12):
Well, and there's some crossover there too.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Gangs in New York taught me that.

Speaker 3 (17:17):
So April I'm just gonna burn through all of the
ones from April.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Okay, oh my god, okay, burn.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Arab American Heritage Month, Autism Acceptance Month, Cancer Control Month,
Confederate History Month.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
Financial month?

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (17:33):
Financial Literacy month, Jazz Appreciation Month, Mathematics Awareness Month, National
Child Abuse Prevention Month, National Poetry Month, National Poetry Writing Month,
because apparently they're different, National Volunteer Month, Sexual Assault Awareness Month,
Seek Heritage Month only in Canada, all in April.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
This is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
And there are a lot of seaks in Minnesota, a
lot of seats in the Midwest.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
But this is what I'm talking about.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
When one month has twenty different things, what are we
doing here?

Speaker 4 (18:09):
Like there's no like.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
Days, Like you don't have National hot Dog Month, you
have National hot Dog Day.

Speaker 4 (18:14):
But that was my That's my whole point. These are
all months.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
May is even longer than April, Als Awareness Month, Asian
American and Psionic Islander Heritage month, brain tumor awareness months.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Since nothing is going on in the UK.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
The UK doesn't celebrate the brain tumor Awareness month for
whatever reason.

Speaker 4 (18:31):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
UK was like, we had enough of that about brain
tumor awareness And.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
After about five minutes of me just holding the list
uh in front of.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
My two more popped up.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Well no at well yeah, people are just keep adding
to it.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
No.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
As I just started rattling these off to my mom,
I was like, you have to agree with like this
is we don't need did you swear May?

Speaker 1 (18:55):
No?

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Well, maybe we were a couple of ranch water a
couple of ranches in at that point, there's no there's
no connection, no reason May needs to be Aos Awareness Month,
Jewish American Heritage Month, and National Bike Month.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
It can't be.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
And it was.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Mental mental Health Awareness Month, which is originally what started
to us.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. I mean, when
you water it down, it loses its potency exactly.

Speaker 4 (19:30):
And that was my greater overarching Do.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
We want a good drink or do we want to
water down drink? Okay, but like I think they need
to cap it. I mean, I mean, there's nothing going
on in the country right now, you know, nothing big,
nothing like out in La or something. We can have
a sit down with the president and figure out all
these months.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
I just missed the days when May was May.

Speaker 1 (19:55):
Well. I like this because when the May fourth be
with you.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
That's cheesy one. I don't do well.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
I don't do well with the the made up holidays
to make everybody feel included at all times, like it
drives me, as you can tell, it's driven me insane
for a couple of weeks now. So that was the
first thing my mom hit me with as I was
talking to her.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
But outside of that, before long.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
I feel you, I understand I sympathize. I see his
point though, yeah, and his point.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Look, I don't want to speak for her, but I
think again, after I rattled through half of these, I
think she started to kind of.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
They need to be days. Just pick a day. There's
a day for everything, you know.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
July National ice cream Month, there.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
Can be an ice cream day?

Speaker 3 (20:46):
What the hell is Disability Pride month? Well, prior is
it down that you're disabled? Okay, down it?

Speaker 1 (21:00):
I don't know why that cracked me up so much, dude.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
I just do stop it. I just I don't see.
Here's a good one for you.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
September it's Suicide Prevention Month, but it's also Gospel Music
Heritage Month.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Gospel music won't they'll prevent the suicide Christianity, and Christianity
doesn't like suicide.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
It's also National Connection in September as well. And also
this is one of my favorite one, Pain Awareness Month.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Pain, well, I'm living in pain. I'm living in pain
right now, so your face. I got a hernia disc
and like, yes, pain is like debilitating, depressing. It just
it defeats you. Every day. I'm with that. I'm walking
five I'm walking five k in my mind with that one.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
I just I just can't wait till we get to
October so I can celebrate Polish American Heritage Month. I
really really looking forward to that one. Although they got
some good food, they have to share October with Filipino
American History Month and also Italian American hair.

Speaker 4 (22:06):
How can it be all of them?

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Like that's what is it bad? I'm just thinking about
all the food.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
All the food.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Yeah, I'm like, I'd take all that. Well, October is
also National Peak, so there's your food there. It's that
I knew. I knew as soon as I looked at
the full list. It was just gonna drive me even
more crazy.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
On Wikipedia because the people can just add things onto that.

Speaker 3 (22:28):
Yeah, but there there's still citations that people run with it. Yeah, No,
there's a Wikipedia had a good list. But then there
was a I found one of these old websites I
used for PRUH, finding all of these fake holidays and
fake month long observances. So yeah, that was That was

(22:50):
the bulk of the first fifteen minutes, the first fifteen
minutes of me seeing my mom for the.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
First time Christmas. Meanwhile, there there was a there.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
Was a plant, Uh what do you call it? Like
a fair, like a market, plant market in the backyard.
They're at charity until my dad.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Farmers agricultural mind.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah, a bunch of these people that grow like specific
succulents and you know all of Basically, it's basically where
my roommate goes to get us a new front porch
every three months.

Speaker 4 (23:24):
And she just loads up on all the plants.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
So so you like all those bugs around your house, Well,
I don't. I don't.

Speaker 4 (23:32):
I'm not necessarily a fan.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
My friend, my friend gave me a little pant, a
little plant wrapped in hemp on those hint and ball
plants that you can hang. Oh yeah, yeah, I'm like,
I think it was cool and stuff. But then I'm
nosing there's some gnats in my house, and I'm just like, man,
this thing about to go outside and get that heat.

Speaker 3 (23:50):
Yeah, it's gonna it's absolutely going to Well. As my
mom and I were talking inside, my dad was back.
He found the plant market, which are people because he
worked he worked in horticulture for twenty years him was
growing up.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
My aunt goes to the circuit, she circuit of what
you m call it. She gets a booth and goes
around a convention even getting a booth. That's she goes
to the convention centers and she's like, she represents a
company and stuff. She comes down here like twice a year,
never tells me beforehand, just calls me up hand. It's like, hey,
you want to go get something to eat? And I'm like,
when when you in town? I'm in town right now

(24:27):
five minutes. I'm like, what the hell are the end
I'm like, come on, give me some time.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Now. You should be ready at all times. That's how
family works.

Speaker 3 (24:37):
So yeah, as as soon as my dad found the
plant market, he ends up buying a couple of plants.
But they're staying. They stayed Saturday night, drove back up
to North Texas yesterday. So now he's just carrying this
plant around with him at all times. But now him
and him, and that's exactly what it was. And it
was like an elephant ear plant. So it's not small.

(24:59):
It's just still hanging uh. But no, my parents and
the roommate's parents, my my in laws, they got to
got to hang out, got to which.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Was it's always good, it's always good.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
But it's one of those you keep one. Do you like,
do you want to be like totally. You know, I
don't want to hear anything about it? Or do you
keep one ear on it? Oh no, I I you
want to live in the world of this.

Speaker 3 (25:23):
I don't need to know, Yeah, I I whatever it is, like,
I don't. I don't need to know what delicate information
is being passed back and forth.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Between get the nastiest rash on his BA.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
That's what I was about to say. Yeah, like, I
don't need to know. I don't need to know whatever
it is you're sharing.

Speaker 1 (25:40):
My mom would be the one who would just be
giving all that kind of information. I'm like, Mom, stop.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Yeah, mine's the opposite. Mine's dad, Yeah he is, he is.
He is the big talker there.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
My dad's like ten minutes and I'm done with any party.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
That's not a bad that's not a bad strategy to have.
That's not a bad rule to live by. Even so,
that was Saturday. I forgot to mention Friday night, we again,
two thirds of the program was in the same location.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I don't go downtown.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I know, I didn't expect it was. It was funny
and LG O LG can tell you exactly.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
I might have gone down. I was like I'll make
it a habit. I will go down there when I
know LG is spinning.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
So we had no idea.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
I mean he was at LG was spinning at Burlison,
Burless and Bear Garden there in the neighborhood and the
roommate and I walk in. I hear the music and
it's like nineties hip hop, nineties club what LG spins
and it's really good and usually it's not necessarily what
you hear on a Friday night in Burly.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
But I didn't piece any of that together.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
I just walked straight up to the bar, got our order,
and then we went outside where I can, you know,
chain smoke and watch the We're watching the game two
of the Stanley Cup Finals, and about five minutes later,
after we're sitting outside, LG sends the group here, sends
a group text that says, you know, I'm at Burley

(27:15):
and it's just a picture of him and Carl shooning. Uh,
you know, Bill's former Spurs radio play by play guy
hall of famer. Carl, his son and LG are sending
a picture from inside. So I just reply, well, I'm outside,
like randomly. About thirty seconds later, LG comes popping out.

(27:36):
Turns out that was him spinning as we walked in.

Speaker 1 (27:40):
To take a picture of me and my dogs on
my recline. Or does.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
I do I do like your promotional brain kicking in
the like take pictures, post make do post content?

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Man, Come on, I do I do love that?

Speaker 3 (27:56):
But yeah, LG was LG was maybe being uh taking
advantage of a little bit Friday night fun times.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Tell me this taking advantage of by by by a
lady caller or.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Oh that would have been nice, right, that would have
been taking advantage of how No, no stretch.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
No, he was his buddy x or he's uh done
the well he does the LG House done a couple
of episodes. Well, yeah, he was the guy that was
spending it.

Speaker 4 (28:29):
Was his gig. LG stepped in to give him a break.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yeah that's right.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
I heard on the LG show turns into you know,
fifteen minutes turns into an hour, and because.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
He's out there talking, having fun's kicking ass over there.
You know.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Well, I'm not going to let let the you know,
music crash or anything. I'm going to keep it going
until he comes back. Like what else, I'm not going
to put in auto mode.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah right, YouTube exact.

Speaker 4 (28:58):
Spotify. Hey this is your DJ.

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Oh yeah the AI.

Speaker 1 (29:04):
Oh that's that's my new thing with my little bartender girls.
I'm like, when I need to get their attention for
a drink, I'm like, coming to the stage. We have Gina, Gina,
please get there, And they look at me and they
just give me the evil eye and I'm like, I
need a drink. You have, Oh, I have a great club.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
Voice, stripper, stripper DJ.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I've done it before. It's almost it's.

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Almost like that. How weird is that?

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Uh? But yeah, So we ran into LG Friday night
and then had the party Saturday. Then I mentioned Sunday
dropped did the delicate dance of not looking too happy
as I'm dropping the roommate off at the.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Airport, knowing, not being like, knowing.

Speaker 3 (29:45):
That I have four days of no I always I always,
I always act tough and say that, and then literally
like I was sitting on the couch watching an amazing
French Open final because I dropped her off that morning,
the t was already started.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Oh well, let me tell you about my week before
we get into the tennis things, sports and stuff. I
had my mind literally blown and not in a good way,
in a freakishly like what are we doing type of way.
So set the scene. I'm at the bar. A pretty
young lady came up and sat next to me, and

(30:22):
we chatting it up and blah blah blah, and ends up.
She sitting there, says she asked, chat GTPB something. I
knew you weren't gonna get it right, so don't whatever.
She asked, this AI computor GPT, this this this machine

(30:42):
that has no soul, that does not connect with you.
I mean, these things are meant for a function. Do
your job. I don't want to be having an emotional
connection with you, and I don't want you to think
you have an emotional connection with me, because that's creepy,
you know. But of course it's not creepy, so she asked.
She went on a few dates with the individual. Let's

(31:02):
call her name Addie, and that's a very random name.
She picked it out, okay, and she's, uh, this is
exactly how it went, and she said, here you can
read it. She's like, help me break up with this boy.
We've only been going on a couple we've only gone
out a couple of times. He's very nice, I don't
really feel anything for him after hanging out helped me

(31:25):
do it in a nice way because he's very sweet person.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Okay, hold on, that's her prompt to chat GPT, which.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Is way that you feel like you're talking to a
person like like, that's not.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Like okay, And first of all, first thoughts, what's that
if you only went on a couple of dates, why
are you asking you GP? This should be as simple
as hey, you know what, Sorry, this just isn't gonna work.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Move on.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
It's not like there's a massive commitment that's been made
at this point.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
I don't know her age, and I think there's a
little age gap in this. And this is why I
don't understand because I'm sitting there like this is a
very simple answer, Hey, not feeling you. And the guy
like took him to like see his dead father's picture,
like there was something crazy like I don't want to
get too many details. Yeah it sounds like he might,
but there was like a huge red flag and I

(32:13):
would have been like, yo, that's not gonna I was like,
this isn't gonna end well, And this is this is
his response. Absolutely, it's kind and mature of you to
want to end things gently and respectfully. Since you've only
gone out a few times, you don't owe a big,
long explanation, but a thoughtful message can bring closure in
a way that honors his kindness. What the are you?

(32:36):
Are you kidding me? Like, don't talk to me, just
give me the answer. Don't know?

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Hip up?

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Of course, don't hype me up. That's what you are,
a machine. You are not real.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
No, it's trying to build you up so you can
deliver this message.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Ai who has hallucinations and racist thoughts building people up? Like,
come on, man, here's the message you could send. Where
it leaves it and it leaves itself, it leaves it. Now,
this gets real. This is a message you could send.
Feel creative, tweak in, tweak the tone, depending on what

(33:15):
feels the most natural to you. What hey name? I
guess you insert his name in there, or she's gonna
leave it. I just wanted to be honest with you.
I really enjoyed getting to know you, and you're such
a genuinely sweet person. After hanging out a couple of times,

(33:36):
I realized I'm not really feeling romantic a romantic connection.
I didn't want to lead you on so I thought
it was better to be up front. I really appreciate
the time we spend together, and hope there's no hard feelings.
And then you know, that seems very long winded, you know.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
And exactly seems about three times that.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Should have been right after she said that, that's what
should have been there, not all that fluff, that little
AI fluff in the beginning, like you're talking to a person,
and then it says, this message is kind, acknowledges his
good qualities. Clear, these are all bullet points. Clear, doesn't
leave room for confusion or false hope, bullet point respectful,

(34:16):
ends things maturely without ghosting. It's using freaking slang terms. Man,
what the if you rather? If you rather say it
in person over the phone, I can help with the
quick script for you. Let you know the form the
most comfortable with, and then i'd rather and then it goes.

(34:39):
Then she goes, got it? Thanks?

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (34:44):
She Then she wrote, I rather I rather say it
in person? Okay, Then I miss something or she says,
I'm gonna have to see him again, and so like,
can you make it shorter and more directcause I'm gonna
have to see him. In social situations because she's a bartender. Sure,
and says got it. Thanks for the extra content, since
you're likely to see him again and want to keep

(35:04):
it to keep things friendly, here's a revised version that's
clear but leaves space for future friendliness without romantic tension.
Text option, Hey name, I really appreciate spending time with
you recently. You're such a good person. I hope he
doesn't come off the wrong way. And I realize I'm
not really feeling a romantic connection. I just wanted to

(35:25):
be honest about that. I really do think you're great,
and I hope things won't be weird when we see
each other around. I just don't want to lead you
on or be unclear. It actually okay, and then it
actually acknowledged your history, leaves room for future contact intro
like and then she's like, thanks, that was perfect, She

(35:46):
responded to us, Man.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
You have to make it feel good about itself. Let
it know you did a good job the road.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
You got to make the robot feel safe.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
Oh chat GPT said, you're wasting millions of dollars in
computing processing by thanking it. Yeah, I don't say please
and don't say thank you.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
So I would a computer. Why would you say that
to a computer one?

Speaker 3 (36:09):
Because eventually it's going that computer, that software is going
to be what runs everything, but it's going to be
overlord and it.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
Keeps for seats.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Right, You'll remember when you didn't say thank you, and.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
I see why because it's fluffing her up. It's sitting
there being like, hey, you're being very kind and very respectful.
Good for you at a boy at a girl like come.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
On, But there's two sides to this that I can.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Then it then it responds to her thing, i'mnna go
too much further. Oh, you're so welcome. I'm really glad
if we hit the right note. It takes guts to
be honest and kind at the same time with real
grace if anything awkward comes up later, or if you
want anything to help with the follow up, I got
you yellow heart? Is that the android heart? Is that

(36:56):
the android.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Hearts the yellow heart? I don't know, I don't use
or uh or just the regular emotion.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Make me so angry.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Because it's humans losing their touch with being human, like
it should make you angry because it's using AI to
navigate the rough waters of a human to human relationships and.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Just direct and just being like are you so, why
are we making each other so afraid? Where we need
to have a pep talk?

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Two things can just tell someone the truth if you're
the guy in this situation, is it better to get
a chat GPT tailored response or to just get ghosted?
It's still better to get a response.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
If I found out it was chat gpttism, I would
feel utterly horrible about myself.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
And that was my next part of a ghost in
the long run.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Right in the long run, I'm like, just don't, like,
don't call me back, And I'm like, well, guess she
wasn't feeling me. I'm imagining.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
I'm imagining guys out there running their text threads with
different people through AI readers, like a like a college
professor does to see if it gets flagged, Like is
my wife using AI on me? Is?

Speaker 1 (38:20):
Dude? It reminds me I remember that South Part episode
where it's like this is how you talk to the
girlfriend and stuff like that, And like I'm listening to
Bill Maher he used to cuss out his car because
it's like you left your phone and he's like, you
shut the f up, you dumb c word, and like that,
and he's like, wait a minute, these robots are keeping receipts.
And now I like I've been he's been saying down

(38:41):
his podcast for the past like month, and I'm like, oh,
that's stupid. Then I found this out yesterday and I
get it and I don't like it.

Speaker 4 (38:51):
So I didn't.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
I think I have underestimated how much people are actually using.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Like I pull.

Speaker 1 (39:00):
It up on an app and she was like, we
asked a question, like I don't know.

Speaker 3 (39:03):
Last week when I was talking about my buddy that
was in town, he was telling me that he uses
chat GPT for like the most like he will. He'll
even do the take a picture of what's in his
cabinet and tell it to make a recipe like this
is what I have showed me some moments pretty cool, right,

(39:24):
Like there's some but like but like relationship is after two.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Days, that's a pretty nice cabinet. I like how everything's
later put in a nice situation.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
To be a pretty organized chef.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Here's here's another idea about how to clean your house.
You know, like have you.

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Ever thought about replacing the crown molding?

Speaker 1 (39:43):
And then she goes on to like respond like, oh,
this is what I said, thank you? How should I
respond with this? Wow, that's really heartfelt and vulnerable message.
Blah blah blah. Bullet point shows empathy and kindness, acknowledges
and honors his emotions, doesn't reopen door romantically, but doesn't
shut it coldly either. You know, man, shut your robot mount. Dude.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
We have a friend the roommate, and I have a
friend that runs she she uses chat GPT for a
lot of her tender interactions.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
Oh yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (40:17):
Will like pull like throw the full thread into chat
GBT and say, does anything jump out at you? Is
there anything that you think, uh, you know, could be
a potential red flag or anything like that.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
And again you.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
Give it away game for a lot of guys right now, man,
of course.

Speaker 3 (40:35):
But it's like you were saying that the rush to
use AI for human to human interactions like that's where
it was like, that's crosses the line.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
It's nothing. So the guy is a horrible dater and
he goes way too fast and just be like, yo,
you just kind of have to be like, I'm busy
this week.

Speaker 4 (40:59):
And then and then you're washing your hair next week, and.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
If you're taking a girl to your anything involving your
dead dad on the second days.

Speaker 1 (41:11):
I don't know if it was it was something it
was some kind of red flag where it was like, yo,
they if you bring in your family members anywhere.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Hurricane flag. That's that's more than a red flag.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
That's I tried to teach my kid about red flags
in the very beginning, where I'm like, if you guys
have to stay on the phone while you're sleeping, that's
a red flag. And then I realized every kid's doing that.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Were you not that kid?

Speaker 1 (41:35):
No? Are you serious?

Speaker 4 (41:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (41:37):
Oh man, I had a long distance girlfriend that I
like when you.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Slept on the phone while the phone was on together.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Yeah, I was in like I was in like eight
seventh eighth grade, had met her at a tennis tournament.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Ended up.

Speaker 3 (41:50):
She had she had her own phone line. It was
the nineties. It was a simpler time. You.

Speaker 1 (41:55):
I don't think you'd last out here, sir.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
No, No, I wouldn't. I absolutely would not.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
You would have chat gbt D business will be breaking
up with you every day.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
No, what would happen is I would be the like
borderline Nathan Fielder autistic. That's like, I know this is
chat GPT I know you're not like I know what
you're doing.

Speaker 1 (42:14):
You know we don't. So, speaking of trying to figure
out segments, we need to talk to people with chat
GBT on segment for a segment and see if they
can figure out how long they how long we can
go on until they're like, who is this? Or am
I talking to the robot? Or they know, like see

(42:35):
if they I think that's hilarious.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Yeah, there's too much.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
It's it if I don't see something just spelling, if
I don't see some misspellings or abbreviations like your little
letter you instead of wyo you, and like there's got
to be something where.

Speaker 4 (42:52):
Like I spelled n I T me instead of n I.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, I feel like I'm talking a robot. I'm going
off on that person. Man, I'm gonna be like, how
dare you robot me? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (43:01):
That really feels like again, that feels even more disrespectful
than just getting ghosted.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
But it is.

Speaker 4 (43:08):
I think I agree with you. I think I'm I
think I'm in complete.

Speaker 1 (43:11):
And I told I told Addie this. I was like,
that's horrible. If he if I found out you did
that to me, I would rather have been ghosted.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
Yes, yeah, No, I think you're onto something. Oh man,
I think you're onto something. Well, uh, let's save let's
save the local news for the lightning round.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
How about like national like not letting robots take over
our lives? Month?

Speaker 4 (43:35):
Want to see me do that one? I bet, I
bet it's the opposite.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
I bet it's actually at life Ai.

Speaker 1 (43:42):
Month is there is? There is there, sir? That is
every month? Like your computer just breaks down right about now?

Speaker 3 (43:52):
Yeah, apparently it looks like it might be sometime in September.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
See. I have an old computer and I feel like
it doesn't listen to me. And Lawrence has like been
giving me crap. He's like, it's from twenty fourteen.

Speaker 3 (44:07):
I think there's some advantage to having old technology in
some ways.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I'm going back to flip bone. Man, that that nobody
that chat jujitzbl bizzle. I am. That freaked me out. Man,
that freaked me out. Yeah, I uh, I don't think
it fuffs you up, man. Yeah, I don't think.

Speaker 3 (44:25):
You're that far I don't think you're that far off.
And again, it's just the beginning of it too. That's
the scary thing.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
God, it's just the beginning, Like.

Speaker 3 (44:32):
What what are that interaction that you're describing. Yeah, in
five years, that will probably be more of the norm
than the.

Speaker 1 (44:41):
I've seen the stories of the Japanese robot girlfriends where
they're like, they have they have a girlfriend with an
ai and they're perfectly calm, they're they're happy with it,
and they're accepting of that. And No, I just don't know.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
No, I don't think it.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
I don't think that is I don't think that is
getting us anywhere closer to.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
I have flesh lighting freak, go buy a hustler. Oh Man, Sorry,
miss Puma.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
He's too late for that.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
She knows what she's Well, I'll freak you out even
better at My grandma also listens, So you have that
to contend with as well.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
You got are the coolest people in the world. That's great.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
Salt of the earth, salt of the earth.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
You got a Yankee minute force. Oh I don't want
to Yeah, I gotta give me a minute. Put it
on the cloth. We got this young guy named Hunter.
Don't remember his last name because all I remember is Hunter,
who's a rookie pitcher who's sitting there, says, I grew

(45:46):
up in Texas and I grew up a Red Sox fan,
and I'll never sign with the Yankees no matter what.
And this is a rookie, and you know what Aaron
Judge does to him on this first pitch, takes him
about four hundred and thirty eight feet right now, and
then he does it again. Oh sweet Judge, just shut
his mouth. This kid was actually throwing pretty good. But

(46:09):
then we put a five spot, but we did lose
a series. The Raphael Devers is still my worst enemy.
Why can't they just break up already and he go
off somewhere else so I don't have to worry about
Devers putting it on us every minute. But Aaron Judge
still leading everything we didn't man, Yeah, it just kills

(46:29):
me every time the Socks win. I just forget about
two thousand and four. I will go one further. I
did watch that what was it? The Great Comeback on
Netflix The Red Sox, but only watched the first minute,
I mean the first episode. Well, so it was really good.
So it was great.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
Yeah, that was really good. I bet you loved that.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
No, I did not watch the other two episodes.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
You're talking about Brian Texas's own Hunter Dobbins, who was
making his Red Sox. He's a rookie for the Red
Sox from actually pitched at tuch Tots. Yeah again, hello Grandma.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
Yeah the uh.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
Seeing I mean the response from judge yah boom. But them, dude,
I on my side of the on my side of
the al. The Rangers actually won a series. They took
two out of three from the Nationals. If you look
at their upcoming schedule.

Speaker 1 (47:31):
Do some in the al man come on, if you.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
Look at their upcoming schedule, if there ever was a
time to show some signs of life, this is the
stretch for them because they just took two out of
three from the Gnats. They've got the Twins starting tomorrow.
But then it's Twins, White Sox, Royals, Pirates Orioles. Those
are your next five series before they play the division

(47:57):
leading Mariners again.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Hm, they're They're.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Still close enough where they get up a couple of games,
one hot month of baseball will put them right back
in line with the Mariners. Astros at the top I
saw the Astros actually designated uh.

Speaker 1 (48:16):
Uh no.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
It was a.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Forrest Whitley, the former higher high end prospect for them.
They brought him up, they designated him for assignment. He
had been he was expected to be a big time
kind of top of the rotation prospect and then had
control issues. The local kid, the kid from Alamo Heights,

(48:40):
Oh okay, yeah, and had some had believe had a
injuries and then had some uh I think he was
suspended at one point for something.

Speaker 1 (48:53):
To Boston just like called up there the number one
prospect in the league.

Speaker 3 (48:59):
Yeah, right after calling up watching my call what's his name?
Last week to Boston making moves because again, I mean
just looking at eight and a half games out right, Boston,
but it's still early enough. And the way like think
about it, think about it, fifteen years ago, when you
were eight and a half games out at the beginning

(49:20):
of June, you could kind of pretty much call your
season over for the most part. But now with all
of the wild card spots in the playoffs, you're really
not Yeah well usually I feel like it's harder now
to come back from like a nasty deficit, like an

(49:43):
eight to twelve game when you're not playing so when
you're not playing a bunch of division games, because you
get to, you know, jump up like one instead of
half a game every time, because you're playing so many
division games, but now that you got to play every
team in the league, there's a lot more half games
and not full game.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
You know, come up.

Speaker 4 (50:03):
I think that helps you, though, move up the wild Carts.

Speaker 3 (50:06):
It doesn't help you in your division obviously, but it
helps you in your wald Carts standing because you're getting
to play teams from the other divisions that you're.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Fighting for Waldcar divisions.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
Because like right now you said, you know, Boston eight
and a half out of the division, only four games
out of a wild card spot, and the teams in
front of them are not I mean when you're talking Cleveland, Seattle,
Kansas City, and if you look at the Waldcrt spot,
the Rangers are the team right after Boston. They're four
and a half games out of a wild cart spot.
So we're gonna have a lot of I think that

(50:38):
we're gonna have a lot of jumbling and moving places
that Now it's.

Speaker 1 (50:44):
Like, well, with Boston, I look at the stands so
I can shut them up and then if they're above us,
I'm just going to say twenty seven on them all day.

Speaker 4 (50:51):
Well, and with my Rangers, I've.

Speaker 3 (50:54):
I have not wanted to look at the standings after
all Star games. Yeah, it's about when yeah, or if
you know, whenever run on trade starts to happen to
That kind of feels like if anybody jumps out there
and starts making early.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Moves like we've seen in the past.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
I since we're talking a little baseball, I got something
for you.

Speaker 4 (51:18):
Oh got a gift for you.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
You have these?

Speaker 4 (51:20):
You have these ready, LG.

Speaker 3 (51:22):
After we talked about some potential uh new segment ideas,
I spent some time on Sunday and went digging for
some classic Keith Hernandez audio and all of these. So
you mentioned last week, why don't we Why don't we
start with the or which one you got first?

Speaker 1 (51:45):
LG.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
I'll let you lead me here.

Speaker 5 (51:48):
I'm not sure. How about we just play it and
then there we go.

Speaker 4 (51:50):
Let's see, there we go.

Speaker 1 (51:52):
Down a bet. He kind of got screwed a little bit,
if you'd a better term. Sorry, folks, up they home
played ump. That's the first.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
I don't believe we've had that terminology in our broadcast
of twenty years on s n Y. But you know,
there's an old saying in TV you can say anything Once.
I was that you never know I was fling the
word and that's what came out.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Start start that one over from the top because of that,
that just came out. Just like my favorite thing is
he pauses as he's trying to figure out what word
to choose, and then he's.

Speaker 5 (52:29):
Like, ah, screwed.

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Fire that one one more time.

Speaker 1 (52:36):
He kind of got screwed a little bit of lack
of a better term. Sorry, folks up by the home
played umpire. It sounds like.

Speaker 4 (52:48):
He's already chuckling.

Speaker 1 (52:51):
So you can say anything. Once I was, I was
fumbling the word. That was from like two weeks ago.
Oh my god, Like he.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Has one of these moments because the next one, the
next one we have, this one was from earlier this month.
He is a running gold mine. These were just from like,

(53:24):
I don't want to go.

Speaker 1 (53:24):
To Gary, finally complained, I'm left handed and Gary's right handed.
When I go to dinner. I always said, if I
was having dinner with Gary, I would sit on the
this side because we.

Speaker 6 (53:36):
Crossed swords, helbow each other, cross.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
Hotel. Never want to cross swords in the old gang Bang,
You know.

Speaker 4 (53:55):
No, Keith and Nandez absolutely knows what he's just so.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
We got it's a good show. When we got you.

Speaker 3 (54:02):
Get screwed by the home plate umpire and crossing swords
with his play by play man. And then the last
one is the one you referenced last week, where it's
an individual in the crowd eating a hot dog.

Speaker 6 (54:19):
It's and why that is a twenty five dollars hot dog? Folks?
Do you need a knife and fourteen?

Speaker 2 (54:26):
My goodness, how much meat is an a twenty five
dollars hot dog?

Speaker 1 (54:32):
Havd a few pounds? Right?

Speaker 6 (54:35):
I wasn't talking about the hot dogs? And why that
is a twenty five dollars hot dog?

Speaker 1 (54:41):
Folks?

Speaker 6 (54:42):
Do you need a knife and fourteeth?

Speaker 1 (54:45):
My goodness, my goodness, how much meat is an a
twenty five dollars hot dog? I mad a few pounds?

Speaker 6 (54:52):
Right, I wasn't talking about the hot dog.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
So for those only listening to the audio version, it
is a fairly.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
It's an instagram worthy model, instagram worthy female. Think about
what you like? Olier in her mouth? Yea, we call
him gobblers. There you go, there you go.

Speaker 3 (55:15):
Well, I think I'm ready to just declare Keith R.
Nandez's horny as hell at all times.

Speaker 1 (55:21):
Man. His wife's got him pent up man, because.

Speaker 3 (55:22):
We got we got screwed, we got crossed swords, and
we got the my goodness.

Speaker 1 (55:29):
My good wasn't talking about the hot dog.

Speaker 4 (55:33):
Yeah, LG. How about you? Did you you.

Speaker 3 (55:37):
Finally bust the switch To out that you've now had
for almost a full week.

Speaker 5 (55:42):
Yeah, finally I played it one day for many, many hours.
I finally got Mario Kart going and stayed up. It
was like it was like opening a Christmas gift where
you just play it all night long. Then you look up.
It's like two am O ship.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
We've been playing that long? So is that good? The
open world?

Speaker 5 (56:00):
It's Mario Kart. I mean, it can only be as
good as Mario Kart can be, but it's the best
Mario Kart ever made, probably.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
So ever made.

Speaker 5 (56:09):
Yeah, well I like the original, but yeah, this is
probably technically the best Mario Kart ever made.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Yeah, I was watching I was watching some early reviews
of uh, you know, some review videos of the switch To,
and oh that was a burp, specifically the new Mario Kart.
And it kind of seems like it kind of seems
like right now, like Mario Kart is really fun, but

(56:36):
the switch To isn't really worth it yet because it's.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
Like there's a there's not a game library for it.

Speaker 1 (56:43):
Right, it's like any Mario system. That's why they're like, oh, well,
I'm glad they put it out now. So then they
got six months till Christmas to build up their game library.

Speaker 4 (56:53):
Yeah, that's the big Well.

Speaker 5 (56:54):
You know why they put it out as fast as
they could because the turfs. Yeah, they wanted to get
it in before. And I appreciate it because Christmas switch
might be more expensive than than release switch.

Speaker 4 (57:07):
I don't That's where.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
You know, I'm going to loot a freaking Walmart truck.

Speaker 3 (57:12):
I mentioned. You know, we saw Carl Shoning was with
you Friday night. I saw he tweeted out yesterday there
was one. There was actually he saw one in the
wild at a target in stone O. He did, No,
I don't think he did. I think he put it
out there like if anybody.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
He sees one by it because I hold on to
that until Christmas. Yeah, I'm down to make a dollar
out of two.

Speaker 5 (57:37):
I don't think there's as short of a supply is
as people think there is.

Speaker 4 (57:42):
Honestly, I don't either. That's why I didn't do.

Speaker 3 (57:44):
I didn't fight through all the pre order like I
did to get a PS five everything.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah. PS five. Every new system goes through this. So
you're saying this will be the first new system to
come out that won't go through a supply demand where
people are selling them for twice the price on the eBay.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
Oh, I mean it's happening right now.

Speaker 4 (58:04):
Yeah, they're not.

Speaker 5 (58:07):
They're not as scarce as other systems has been. And
it's also a summer release as opposed to a Christmas release,
so there's less demand.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
I will pay him back. Just get it, because I'm
not in the wild. He's out there in the target.
I haven't been into a Target, and I haven't been
into a Walmart. I try to stay out of all
those boxes.

Speaker 3 (58:25):
Good man, I'm blaming. I almost texted Carl and told him, like,
grab it for me if you can.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
But I saw it.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
I noticed like he had posted was it five hundred
LG five hundred.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
With Mario Kart? I think, yeah, man, I'd be too
tempted to open it.

Speaker 3 (58:43):
I wonder maybe for maybe for Wednesday's show. I wonder
if we have any one star switch to reviews out there.

Speaker 4 (58:51):
That's nice.

Speaker 3 (58:54):
Speaking of the tariffs, though I know LG not only
did you buy a switch to, but you also capitalize
on a not other another market inefficiency right now.

Speaker 5 (59:04):
Yeah, I had to take advantage of the political fire
sale that is uh Musk's antics, and I traded in
my uh well, I sold my Maverick, my Ford Maverick
today and I have my eyes on a Tesla so.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
He doesn't respond to me on his show when I
called it a lesbian mobile.

Speaker 3 (59:24):
Because everyone knows, everyone knows, you're just wrong.

Speaker 1 (59:29):
Yeah, it looks like a super looks like a Super.

Speaker 4 (59:32):
Actually, yeah, now that you say that, it looks like
a Mini f one.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
Fifty it looks like once again, Well, no, I don't
own an I stand on Tinto's on.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
That I signed it off to CarMax today.

Speaker 3 (59:45):
Well, never let anyone accuse us of being uh of
not taking advantage of good deals despite.

Speaker 1 (59:53):
Me like I don't, I don't care about your politics. Man.
If that cars three thousand dollars, I'm gonna buy it,
you know.

Speaker 3 (59:59):
Well, and what that EV mandates that are probably to
expire pretty soon and the falling stock prices and I care,
how is.

Speaker 4 (01:00:08):
The time to buy?

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
Like going into targets, like do you think I go
and don't go into targets because of their stance on
pride or something. No, I don't go in there because
I don't like people. You know what I'm saying. I
don't like lines and I don't like people like That's
the reason why I don't go in there.

Speaker 4 (01:00:24):
Well, this is always the same.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
I don't know their politics. I still eat chick fil
A that don't like the politics. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:00:32):
But which one was it? They make the chickens. But
it's that whole.

Speaker 3 (01:00:37):
So so when they do the campaign with the influencer
but now all of a sudden, because it's post Malone,
Shane Gillis and Peyton Manning, Oh I'm back people, Yeah,
like just want to shorts.

Speaker 5 (01:00:54):
Of course, the news cycle happens.

Speaker 3 (01:00:56):
But but this is at the end of it all.
At the end of it all. The thing to remember
is that they're all just predatorially taking advantage of you. Yeah,
bud Light doesn't care about they didn't care about trans rites.
When they did the Influencier campaign, they thought it was
gonna make them money. They didn't care about your like,

(01:01:17):
they just care about money. Yeah, all of these That's
how I look at all this. I'm like this performative
posts for Pride months. I don't all just to make money.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
I don't pay attention to companies' stances, man, And like
that's why I feel like I'm not gonna be preyed
on or succumb to. I'm not gonna use X and stuff.
You know why I don't use X man, because I
barely got it. I barely figured out Facebook, you know
what I'm saying, and I still am figuring it out.
Thank you my bar girls for figuring out Facebook, like

(01:01:47):
to post stuff like come on, man, like, don't don't
feed into every one little slight. They're not slighting you.
They're just trying to take your money.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
That's one thousand percent. I will say this and talk
of Tesla and Elon's crazy weekend, the the whole Elon
versus Trump meltdown and crash out.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
So it got me.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
It got me to I literally genuinely paid one hundred
attention to a ten minute Alex Jones live stream because
that was on the He's a bit of a sie
op now, but he's.

Speaker 1 (01:02:29):
I thought he got I thought he's supposed to be.

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
In well, they they it's amazing how he owes like
one point five billion dollars, but it doesn't seem like
his life has changed at all.

Speaker 1 (01:02:38):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
I tuned in because to hear, like Alex Jones is,
I've been investigating Epstein for a decade. I know Trump's
not on the list.

Speaker 3 (01:02:49):
But maybe Elon knows something like it's like like the
trying to him, trying to wrap his head around Watch
Pony to support in the race.

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
You know that that was Oh my god, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:03:01):
The guy that has unique insight to what is the
ridiculousness of the of the Elon Trump.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
There's this song, man, this AI generated Trump thing, and
it's about this song and it's this is where AI
has just like gone off the hook and it's the
song and it just shows them growing old in the
part and the song says it perfectly and it looks
like them in like AI form, and it's like so great.

(01:03:29):
But then you're just like, hey, I just put this
out in like half a day, you know, and all
these means and all that, like I'm just a man
that chat just bisil man. I swear it's scaring me
more and more. This AI, like why are we giving
it so much power? Why are we giving it so
much power? Because it makes we can't you've seen the Matrix, man,

(01:03:52):
they have seen it on hallucinogens and freaked out a
little bit. Man.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
But come on, well, I don't think at the.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Movie theater, I started yelling at the screen.

Speaker 3 (01:04:02):
I don't think you were able to I don't think
you were able to get your message loud enough back then,
because there weren't. Doesn't seem like there were a whole
lot of lessons learned.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
And I'm reading Dune right now, which is all about
the thinking machines, and like it's just creeping me out. Still,
ow they their whole the Dune world, Mister Timothy's she
amount shut amount of the man, you know? And yeah, dude,
the whole world is they got rid of thinking machines
because AI took over. AI decided, hey, you guys are horrible.

(01:04:36):
We're gonna make it better, and they killed us.

Speaker 3 (01:04:38):
All well, all of the movies, you know, Terminat or Dune.
Anytime AI. It's like, is there a movie where AI
actually saves the world? Like, is there is there any
exact I can't think things.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
They're gonna come up it, but we need to put
restrictions on it. Now, Oh no, now, And this is
the whole thing is we can't do that or we're
gonna lose to Chiin. I'm just like, yo, man, let
China go into AI Overlord. Let's be over here and
then we can just nuke them.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:05:08):
I think I think anything else.

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Not not the Chinese, the Ais.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
If anything else, like if the AAI.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Overlord overtakes China and like.

Speaker 4 (01:05:17):
That would only make them stronger.

Speaker 3 (01:05:19):
I think that's I think that's the the last nail
in the coffin potentially.

Speaker 1 (01:05:24):
Damn it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:26):
All right, we'll save the rest of the news for
the lightning round. Let's talk a little sports because we're
gonna talk NBA finals in the main segment. But there
were actually mentioned the French Open final. I don't know
how much of that y'all watched that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
Goodie facts on that.

Speaker 3 (01:05:46):
So Alcaraz drops the first two sets, climbs, charges all
the way back, ends up repeating as French Open champion
beats Yannick Center in the final, and some of his
shot makes Some of Alcoraz's shot making in that fifth
set was ridiculous, insane.

Speaker 1 (01:06:04):
That was like fettererish, like it was like a Nadal
Federer mixed together. It's all the pinpointness of like a fetter.

Speaker 3 (01:06:12):
And the athleticism and coverage range of Nadal, especially on clay.
Seeing Alcaaz play like that at the French reminds me
so much of when I first saw Nadal.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
The first time when he broke into the suite like
the like basically I called the the round of eight
and whatnot, and he was ranked one hundred and forty
second or something. I still remember that and being like,
who is this kid? Because we still had the American
hope erotic, you know, with his one hundred and forty
five mile hour shots, you know serves. But yeah, when

(01:06:48):
the doll broke on the scene, I was an instant fan,
instant fan this game. This game. This game went with
five hours and thirty six minutes, ended up being the
longest French ever final. Yeah, never before has a match
been one in the French finals. Two sets down first

(01:07:09):
to say, three match points in the French Open final
and win.

Speaker 3 (01:07:12):
So he had a he had a in the third.
In the fourth set, he drops the first two sets,
wins the third set and then in the fourth set
Center had a triple match point where he was up
forty love in a match winning game, and Alcoraz came.

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
All the way back.

Speaker 3 (01:07:35):
It was and if you watched that the end of
that fourth set, and the crowd start to because the
crowd was always four Alcoraz because defending champion Spanish, Spanish,
French open right with history, yeah, and especially within n
a doll history, and you could it was almost like
the crowd had decided that was gonna win this and

(01:08:01):
they you know, they weren't turning to support Center, but
it was like an awareness and understanding of like, Okay,
this is how it's gonna go. And then as Alcaaz
turned it around, that crowd just swelled and at that
point you kind of knew like it would have been
it would have been more impressive. And McEnroe was saying
this on the broadcast, it would have been more impressive

(01:08:23):
if Center had actually recovered to win at that point
because to mentally blow all of those opportunities to end
the match, you blow the third set and then you
spectacularly blow the fourth set. Well, now all like it's
Alkoraz is to lose at that point, and it still
took a tie breaker in the fifth set. But what

(01:08:45):
Alcaraz rattled off the first seven points of the time breaker,
and it was it wasn't much drama at that point,
but yeah, Alcaaz ends up repeating five major championships now
at the age of twenty five and zero.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Yeah, when he makes it to the final.

Speaker 3 (01:09:04):
And this is weird because you know, this this generation
of right now, you know, Americans just had their you know,
Cocoa golf. On the women's side, she wins Sablenka.

Speaker 1 (01:09:15):
Yeah, she lost the first set and then comes.

Speaker 4 (01:09:17):
Back and wins the last two.

Speaker 3 (01:09:18):
So American tennis or American women, there hasn't really been
a drop off or a wave like it's it's sustained success,
right right, and now it looks like there's not any
gap there. But for the longest time, you know, you
mentioned rotick American tennis, was you know, Agassi Sampriss. Then

(01:09:39):
there was that you know, Blake Rotic kind.

Speaker 4 (01:09:42):
Of in between.

Speaker 3 (01:09:44):
Uh, but they're you know, right now, the men are
actually having the most sustained success they've had since Agasy,
yeah and Sampriss. So it's unfortunate that at the same
time this next generation of prodig like Center and Alcarez
are stepping in. There's also a young Brazilian kid that's

(01:10:05):
getting ready to take everything over as well. He's gonna
end up being a top five player probably, oh wow,
consistently fair of the German he's a little older, but
a lot of these like Tiaffo, Fritz, Tommy Paul, a
lot of these American tennis players outside of Shelton. Shelton's
still in his young twenties, but the rest of them
are kind of in the later half of their twenties.

(01:10:28):
So it it feels like if you're ever going to
get a chance at a title, you better do it now,
because Alcaaz already has five.

Speaker 4 (01:10:36):
And he's only twenty two.

Speaker 1 (01:10:37):
And how old is Center Center's like twenty three.

Speaker 4 (01:10:39):
Twenty three, Yeah, I think a year or two older
than him.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Seems like the new Nadal Fetter Sampris exactly in agacy
type thing.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
No, there's not going to be this era, yeah, Center
twenty three, there's not going.

Speaker 4 (01:10:54):
To be this this era of.

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
You know, mediocrity, like it's going you You're going from
the greatest quad truplet yeah, of tennis players, and you
might already have the guys in line to.

Speaker 4 (01:11:11):
Take it up to take it over their early twenties.

Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
Center took out Joker, and Joker put up a good fight. Yeah,
he's just like he's getting older, man, Like what he's
got to be at thirty eight now he's thirty nine, Yeah,
thirty nine. Yeah, man, he can't can't last forever. No,
he just can't physically keep up with us. Used to
be such a young person's game. Like if you there
was only a handful of people that would go over

(01:11:35):
the age of thirty. And it's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
What what the Nadal Federer Djokovic trio. I guess if
you want to throw in Andy Murray but to a
lesser extent, but like you know what those guys were
still doing and are still doing.

Speaker 4 (01:11:49):
With Djokovic, I mean, Djokovic won Olympic.

Speaker 3 (01:11:51):
Gold on that court last year or whatever year that
was that they had the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
Yeah, that was last year in Paris.

Speaker 3 (01:11:59):
So a really really exciting way to start off a
Sunday morning, and then unfortunately Sunday afternoon, we saw our
UTSA Roadrunners get eliminated from the College Baseball Attorney.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
This is one of those deals.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Yeah, you know it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
There is so much to celebrate with this season.

Speaker 1 (01:12:22):
And we have a young team.

Speaker 3 (01:12:23):
Of course, and assuming Hallmark doesn't go anywhere soon, the
coach stays and and some consistency continues in the program.
Uh you know, UTSA, this is what you know, this
is what it feels like when you kind of finally
break through in a college sport where you get you know,
the national spotlight of one beating that was a burp

(01:12:48):
beating ut in the Austin regional that puts you now
on the national spotlight.

Speaker 4 (01:12:55):
Now you went out to u C.

Speaker 3 (01:12:56):
L A and by all stated metrics, you got beat
by a worst team than the one you eliminated in
the regional. Which that's that's the part that sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:13:08):
Well, that's the part of like when you need those
veterans to sit there and be like, look, we we
defeated a giant, but we we got to keep going.
We're not done.

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
There's still more work, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Don't don't sit there and like blow your load, so
to say yeah again.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
Hi mom, Yeah, Hi Grandma.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
No, I think it's it's one of those It really
obviously it really really sucks to not make it to Omaha. Yeah,
but you still have to celebrate everything that they did
this year.

Speaker 1 (01:13:38):
Series away from Omaha and two wins away.

Speaker 3 (01:13:41):
I mean it was you were Unfortunately they didn't get
a game, didn't win a game out in LA. But again,
you know, for them, yeah, like that's the women's basketball
program had their best year ever on record, best regular
season ever on record. The men's baseball team now best

(01:14:03):
year ever in program history, obviously with Jeff you know,
coach Traylor ahead of the football program. They just switched
from Adidas to Nike, so they got Nike money coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:14:17):
Now starting to getting noticed. We're starting to get noticed nationally,
and that's.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
What you know. Again, sucks to have your season end.

Speaker 1 (01:14:25):
He's going to jump to the Big twelve in the
next year or two, I believe, you know, I think
that's just the natural progression unless we get the super
conferences coming. But you also had the Canadian Open.

Speaker 3 (01:14:38):
Who ended up winning that. The New Zealand guy right
with the New Zealand soccer team in attendance.

Speaker 1 (01:14:46):
Yeah, they were a routed a little bunch man and
it took a He literally the guy who burned that,
Sam Burns, shot a sixty two.

Speaker 4 (01:14:57):
Yeah, and he was in way early, way early.

Speaker 1 (01:15:00):
So it's sixty two. So that basically for all y'all nongolf,
A seventy two is your par which is a zero.
So he shot a ten under on the final day
and was like everybody was chasing them. Fox the key.
We should have made the putt on the seventeenth hole
that was a five footer, missed it. Then drains a

(01:15:21):
seventeen footer to tie it on the eighteenth hole to
go to the playoffs. Then they go shoot the eighteen
and they're just going back and forth, back and forth,
and then he just stripes one and it's a par five.
He stripes a wood because they keep laying up and
taking their third shot to get close to hopefully get
a birdie. They're not even going for the eagles. And

(01:15:42):
on the he he takes. Both of them are right
next to each other and they're trying to figure out
which one is ahead of the other, and he pulls
out that. He pulls out the wood and you see
Burns look at him. He's like, you're way, No, you're way,
you're way, because they want to see that was gonna
be the advantage, like if he hit the wood, and
if whoever hit the wood and hit the green or

(01:16:03):
goes in the drink because there's water all around right
then that person's gonna lay up, you know, the other
person's gonna lay up. Well, Fox the Kiwi is away,
So he hits the wood and he puts it about
seven feet away from the pin for it shot at
eagle m Yeah, and then Burns had to sit there

(01:16:24):
and try to shoot it and he didn't get anywhere close.

Speaker 4 (01:16:28):
Now, and then he ended up three putting.

Speaker 1 (01:16:30):
Yeah, he basically two put it for the wind off
of seven feet, you know, and like he did burn
it past the whole about four feet on his first button.
It's like even the announcers like, I can't believe you
hit it that hard.

Speaker 4 (01:16:43):
Yeah, that pretty much. That pretty much sealed it up.

Speaker 1 (01:16:46):
And this kiwi's a grip He's a rip it and
gripp it guy. Like he does not stand over the ball.
He goes, he goes up there and just I love it.

Speaker 4 (01:16:54):
Yeah, I don't mind it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (01:16:56):
It's it's n Yeah, it's to have a play partner
that plays like that. But it's even better to have
a you know, PGA Tour professional show that it actually
can be done. Yeah, you don't have to overthink everything.
You can just step up, rip it and grip it.
Let's talk a little of the NBA Finals here before

(01:17:17):
we get to the Lightning Round obviously tied one to one.
Sitting here Wednesday night's episode we'll be doing during Game three,
which is.

Speaker 4 (01:17:30):
My first problem. Game one was last Thursday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:35):
Yeah, well they didn't want to go against the the UFC,
which by the way, Shanel Shika Shane got knocked out.
But I didn't really watch too much.

Speaker 4 (01:17:44):
The Game one was Thursday, Game two Sunday, now Game
three Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (01:17:52):
They usually do this in the final, I know, and
it drives me crazy because they give two days so
they can get all the media and get all the storylines,
to get every thing moved over. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:02):
It just in a series where already it's hard. It's
I've got the number for you. The Game one ratings
were the lowest rated least watch Finals opener since nineteen
eighty eight, and that's just because that's when Nielsen began
tracking it. So yeah, and we've talked about that conversation,
how stupid that is. They're missing good basketball and that

(01:18:25):
was a great game. It was a great game and
all of that. But when you're already struggling to hold
a national audience, attention and you have record low numbers.

Speaker 4 (01:18:36):
Maybe don't take an entire week to play.

Speaker 1 (01:18:39):
Two games, Like, let's keep their attention.

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
Let's try this.

Speaker 3 (01:18:42):
You had a great Game one and I know you
can't change it on the fly like this, but it
it just feels.

Speaker 1 (01:18:49):
I don't think God thought they had it in like
and then before I realized, I was like, they do
this every year in the finals. I was like, Oh,
they just don't want to compete with the paper vier
UFC because Shane O'Malley, he's a big draw, but you know,
never heard of him. Yeah, he's he tries to looks
like a little skinny Connor McGregor, a little taller and stuff,

(01:19:10):
but definitely not.

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
As uh, well I've heard of Connor.

Speaker 1 (01:19:13):
Yeah, he's not as good as Connor was Connor was,
you know killing it now?

Speaker 4 (01:19:19):
You mentioned Game one being a great game. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:19:22):
The the I go back to the players the players
voted on that survey, because the players voted him the
most overrated player in the NBA according to his peers,
and he has only gone on to have what five
five now game winning or game tying shots in the

(01:19:46):
last minute of a game, the last ten seconds.

Speaker 1 (01:19:48):
Of a game if they end up winning, it might
be the most clutch performance from a team to come
back and win series games after serious.

Speaker 4 (01:19:58):
They've done it at least once every series. They did it.

Speaker 3 (01:20:01):
The opener series against the Bucks. We had it where
he was standing up on this and everyone was talking about, like, oh,
typical Halliburton celebrating like he just won a championship for
winning a first round game.

Speaker 4 (01:20:14):
Yea, did it the second round? What was that at Cleveland?

Speaker 1 (01:20:18):
Yeah, and he had two, He came back twice, came
back twice in New York, and now once game one,
his first NBA Finals game ever, and he hits a buzzer. Well,
I guess not a buzzer beater because it was point
point three. Had flashes of the.

Speaker 4 (01:20:35):
The point three, uh, the point four anytime it's there.

Speaker 3 (01:20:39):
Yeah yeah, No, I just I keep going back to
the like they he must just he rubbed, like he
just he rubbed.

Speaker 4 (01:20:46):
Apparently everyone hates him.

Speaker 1 (01:20:48):
Who's like the most liked person in the NBA. Let's
let's get that.

Speaker 4 (01:20:52):
Well, I think if you ask somebody, if you ask.

Speaker 3 (01:20:55):
Somebody on record, they all say Lebron because they don't
want to piss off Lebron.

Speaker 4 (01:21:00):
Oh yeah, but flif record, it's like, oh.

Speaker 3 (01:21:02):
No, he's one of the least liked actually, but we
could we would never say that.

Speaker 4 (01:21:06):
Yeah, now, I it's the Halliburton, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:21:09):
And going back to probably ruins some kind of like
locker room code where like it's gotten around to everyone
in the team where it's like don't say stuff around
Halliburn or don't bring your girl around Halliburn or your
side piece.

Speaker 3 (01:21:20):
Well that was like the who was that D'Angelo Russell
and Nick Young when they were Lakers when Russell told
everybody that Nick Young was cheating on his wife or
girlfriend or whatever. Yeah, the Halliburton at this point, going
back to last week when we were doing our thirty
and under tears, who would you rather right now? I

(01:21:42):
know it's prisoner of the moment and everybody does this, Yeah,
but going into next season, would you rather have Jahn
Morant or Tyre's Halliburton?

Speaker 1 (01:21:50):
I know, Halliburton. I think John Moran didn't sit there
and hit game winners and buzzer beaters in the playoffs. Yeah,
he gets the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (01:21:59):
If you they were they were two seed two years
ago before his uh, you know, injury and suspension. But
I I it's I hate being so caught up in
the moment that you start to overvalue something. Yeah, but
Tyrese Haliburton in the last minute of a game, I

(01:22:23):
mean we're approaching levels of comfort with him having the
ball of like Steph Curry absolutely trusting.

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
Game one with the Knicks where he like literally runs
back to the three to be like, I'm gonna get
this three and win it instead of I'm gonna tie
it with a two. Yeah, He's like, nope, I'm gonna
get behind that three point in line, you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (01:22:46):
And I had a slightly smaller foot that winner.

Speaker 1 (01:22:50):
Yeah, dude. It's it's ridiculous how much confidence and like
overconfidence he has right now. But it's well deserved.

Speaker 3 (01:22:56):
Yeah, and it proves he he proved that the old
Bill Simmons line, the.

Speaker 4 (01:23:04):
Irrational confidence guy.

Speaker 3 (01:23:06):
Like it's the old like Vernon Maxwell or a Nick
van Exel or a guy where it's just like, uh,
you know, Jason Terry was a decent The.

Speaker 1 (01:23:15):
Grand players have irrational confidence, right, It's like they're so
overly confident it's irrational. But the problem those are the
best players in the world.

Speaker 3 (01:23:24):
The problem is when it's a guy that's like the
second guy off your bench that has that same level
of the ure. Yeah, there's some levels to that, but
at this point, Halliburton I think is the biggest irrational
confidence guy in the league. But all of that being
said about Game one, you know, and a big story

(01:23:46):
of that was, what twenty turnovers in the first half. Yeah,
but the Thunder didn't capitalize off of it normally.

Speaker 1 (01:23:54):
Still got it underneath the like one under ten point
game in the fourth and they weren't.

Speaker 3 (01:23:59):
The Thunder weren't getting points off of the turnovers in
the first half of that Game one.

Speaker 4 (01:24:03):
It was I think.

Speaker 3 (01:24:05):
They only had like what was it, I remember because
they had Carlisle miked up in the locker room at
halftime and he pointed out, you know, twenty turnovers, but
they only got like twelve points off of it or
something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:24:17):
So you're thinking, you.

Speaker 3 (01:24:19):
Know, you commit twenty turnovers and a half against this
Oklahoma City Thunder team as young and as fast and
as athletic as they are. A turnover is a fast break,
and for them, most fast breaks are easy buckets or
you know, worth throw.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
Opportunity was in game two. Like the Pacers had a
great field goal percentage, but they had sixteen less.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
Shots, right, yeah, and again I mean, do you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:43):
There's the turnover you turn over.

Speaker 4 (01:24:45):
You turned the ball over against them.

Speaker 1 (01:24:47):
It's like you're making your shots, but it's like, but.

Speaker 4 (01:24:49):
It doesn't matter if you're taking a dozen less shots
than over.

Speaker 1 (01:24:53):
You know, sent me the two thousand and six was
it two two thousand and four? Uh? Well, uh the
Detroit Pistons defense and how ruthless they were, and how
like they just mugged Kobe, they mugged Shack, they mugged everybody,

(01:25:14):
and they just ran to the ball and it was
relentless and Tayshaun Prince was on them, Rashee Wallace, Ben Wallace,
not Shell. Yeah, just like they just ran to the
ball and they held you at the front court full
court press constantly, and dude, it seemed defective, it seemed effective.

Speaker 4 (01:25:35):
Yeah, is mastered.

Speaker 3 (01:25:37):
They are the current team that is best at committing
so many borderline fouls. Yeah that if a ref called everything, it.

Speaker 1 (01:25:47):
Would slow the game down.

Speaker 3 (01:25:48):
So it puts all the pressure on the referee of
like you really gonna call that?

Speaker 1 (01:25:53):
Are you really gonna call that? Let's let's just have
this a tough game. Let's let's have a tough.

Speaker 3 (01:25:57):
Caruso on matchup like they have gotten away with so
much physicality and contact, which I love. I'm not complaining
about it, because that's that's how basketball I think should
be played to begin with. But it also now puts
all the pressure on the officials to if you call
it a tiki tac game, all of a sudden, you

(01:26:18):
got a bad product. It's a terrible product, right, and
the league doesn't want that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:21):
It's like Shack always be like if they called every
foul that guy exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:26:26):
And that's what City has figured out that they can
get away with quite a bit.

Speaker 1 (01:26:32):
And they just need to tone it down a little
bit in the fourth quarter. Yeah, just like that's all
it is, Like, get on that in the fourth, then
tone it down, play some you know, play some solid
you know.

Speaker 3 (01:26:41):
Three quarters of living on that line, and then about
take it take it down about twenty.

Speaker 1 (01:26:47):
Percent for the fourth about eight minutes in, about at
the eight minute mark, stop found.

Speaker 3 (01:26:53):
Mentioning the Indiana turnovers. It was twenty in the first
half of that game one and then only five in
the second half. But more importantly, they didn't come in
a turnover the last nine and a half minute to
that game, which is what led That's what allowed them
to come back.

Speaker 1 (01:27:08):
Carlisle got up and got up in that ass.

Speaker 4 (01:27:10):
Man Like Carlos is such a great coach.

Speaker 1 (01:27:12):
He got it in. Siakam was liability on defense in
the first half, man, like he was running around, like
he didn't know where his position was, he was out
of position on rebounds, and like you're one of the bigs, man,
you gotta go down there and crash the board. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:27:25):
It's interesting too because Oklahoma City, you know, for game two,
we saw way more of that double big lineup with
Check and Hartenstein on the court together, which puts Indiana
in the position of Siakam and Turner or topping and
Turner topping and Siakam. And I think Oklahoma City is

(01:27:46):
onto something with their you know, changing the starting rotation
for game one was really weird to me to begin with,
moving Case and Wallace into the starting rotation. Sticking with
it for game two was even weirder until I saw
the change and the the overall change and the rotations
double big.

Speaker 4 (01:28:06):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:28:08):
So I think I think Carlile is going to have,
you know, especially going home to Indiana. They got two
games in Indie and that those that crowd is going
to be wild. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
They The only crowd that's been better than them in
this playoff run is Oklahoma City.

Speaker 1 (01:28:23):
Yeah, and they are gonna like, you're going to get
some home home, home court calls, home court, not non calls.
So I think there'll be a counter. I think I
put Rick Carlyle on the top tier of coaching where
he can sit there and adjust to your adjustments.

Speaker 3 (01:28:42):
I don't think there's anyone better at specifically the game
to game adjustment like it. It's you know, you're talking
of active coaches. Yeah, I mean it's like him coach Spoe.

Speaker 1 (01:28:53):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I put Curb Curk Curry a
lot on Draymond and stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:29:01):
Yeah, Kerr was more of this.

Speaker 3 (01:29:03):
Like I'm thinking of guys where all of a sudden,
like e Donnis haslom Is starting and playing, uh you know,
thirty five minutes in a game, when he had been
on your bench the first two games of the series,
or Carli did it with you know random, Well, he's
done it a lot, but uh.

Speaker 1 (01:29:20):
Dally during their I remember even the year they didn't
win two years ago. Oh yeah, I may he he did.
He had some good coaching like changes in there and
like and now see what he's doing in Houston. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (01:29:36):
Yeah, I think I think the the game too result
was probably the easiest uh thunder to cover.

Speaker 4 (01:29:46):
Bet you could make this whole playoff runt losing.

Speaker 1 (01:29:51):
That someone They're like, they're gonna win by twenty I'm like,
they're not gonna win by twenty and like they won
by seventeen.

Speaker 4 (01:29:56):
Yeah, I was about to say I think they I.

Speaker 1 (01:29:58):
Was like, almost bet it somebody. That's why don't bet.

Speaker 4 (01:30:00):
Well in Vegas. This will tell you all you need
to know.

Speaker 3 (01:30:03):
The game one, it was an eight and a half
or nine and a half point spread, depending on where
you got it. Game two it was twelve and a half.
So like Vegas was like, Okay, they're going to come
out and absolutely whip that ass, which is basically there
were some slight There were some moments where I thought
Indiana might put a run together, but.

Speaker 1 (01:30:26):
Could never get it really just over it. They couldn't
get over the home.

Speaker 3 (01:30:29):
Yeah, I couldn't ever get it to consistently stay in
single digits, and you know, mentioning the ratings being predictably low.
You can't help people if like perfect example, perfect example,
when Halliburton hit that game winner in Game one, I
get a text message from my uncle, it's actually a

(01:30:51):
voice recording message, and he's like, holy shit, I can't.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
Believe that effing happened.

Speaker 1 (01:30:56):
Like did you see that?

Speaker 3 (01:30:57):
I know you saw it, because it's like, no, that's
my uncle who like NBA is probably NBA is below
NASCAR on his pet or.

Speaker 1 (01:31:06):
Like number five.

Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
It's number five exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:31:08):
It's like the.

Speaker 3 (01:31:09):
Only thing probably lower than NBA is soccer, and I'm
not even sure about that anymore, Like he's just not That.

Speaker 1 (01:31:14):
Was game one, So what game one was Thursday? Thursday, Thursday,
so there was there was really nothing on.

Speaker 3 (01:31:21):
No and so like good basketball will hold a casual
viewers attention, and that is what I came to was
there was a lot of bad basketball. There was a
lot of bad basketball, but the comeback was amazing in
the second half.

Speaker 1 (01:31:38):
Yeah, So the turnovers turned me off, and the turnovers
turned me off, where like I was like I checked
out and then I kind of like peeped back in
around the you know, around the fourth quarter to see, right,
they had like peaked around like the end of the
third and I was like, all right, they cutting into
that lead a little bit. And I started watching a
little bit more, watching a little more, and I saw

(01:31:59):
him couldn't get over. But then I'm like, all right,
they're they're conceiting. You know, with like five minutes left,
you knew of the game? Yeah, that was that was it?
I think what was it?

Speaker 3 (01:32:08):
Was it SGA that checked out with like four four
and a half minutes they pulled everybody. Have y'all followed
the battle over the uh Larry O'Brien trophy logos on
the court?

Speaker 1 (01:32:22):
Have y'all followed?

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
Any Do you remember back when the NBA Finals would
always put the big trophy logo on the court on
the center and it was, you know, around the team's
logo dead center. So I don't know the exact reasoning,
but for some reason they stopped doing that. They're not

(01:32:44):
doing that this year, so they didn't have it for
Game one. Why exactly, it's.

Speaker 1 (01:32:50):
Because is it? Did someone come? I've seen some horrible
courts in this playoffs, Like I forget which court it was,
but I'm like, man, that is distracting.

Speaker 4 (01:33:00):
No, I don't.

Speaker 1 (01:33:01):
I mean again, I haven't sde it.

Speaker 3 (01:33:04):
No, I think it was just I think it was
just a choosing the tuning, turning Game one on and
just watching the presentation combined with stephen A and Kendrick
pre game.

Speaker 4 (01:33:18):
That's terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:33:21):
You know, as much as I love Doris Burke, she's
lost a fastball. Richard Jefferson is not good on in
a in a broadcast team. And I kind of think
Mike Breen is massively overrated. Like if he wasn't the
New York Knicks guy, we wouldn't I don't think we
would nearly think of him the way like he's pretty

(01:33:43):
generic and to the point that he yells, he just
yells bang or double bank he looks like. And then
he's reached the level of like Jim Nantz where I
saw he was doing a media interview explaining why a
certain shot didn't deserve a bang, and it's like, dude,
like you've become exactly, You've become a caricature of yourself.

(01:34:04):
So the pregame halftime is awful, the broadcast isn't bad,
and then you add all of that. Also, ESPN just
signed like a decade long extension to have the finals.

Speaker 4 (01:34:18):
So but in Jordan, But well that's NBC.

Speaker 3 (01:34:22):
ESPN is still keeping a right right and but at
least we'll get we'll get Kenny and Chuck. But after
all of the after everything that was on my screen
that made it feel like it was a Sunday afternoon
regular season game in November, after all of that, I

(01:34:43):
finally noticed there wasn't the trophy on the court.

Speaker 1 (01:34:47):
So I was about to ask who noticed it and
who gave it?

Speaker 4 (01:34:50):
So it started to spread.

Speaker 3 (01:34:52):
It started to spread on social like everything does, of
people noticing and it just people like me suggesting no boycotting.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
But just just doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:35:03):
Feel like a finals game.

Speaker 3 (01:35:06):
This doesn't feel as important as it should because it
doesn't look as.

Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
Important as it should.

Speaker 3 (01:35:11):
So the league took all of the negative attention from
game one, so game two.

Speaker 4 (01:35:21):
Sunday night last, so they did.

Speaker 3 (01:35:24):
But what they did, it's it's a digital ad of
just the NBA Finals on YouTube TV, and then it's
like the script font of NBA Finals script and they
would put that on there for a quarter and then
the next quarter it was just a terrible looking like
emoji of the trophy that was just right there, like

(01:35:49):
where they have like climate Pledge arena and then here
you know on the other side where Elmer sells ads
for Spurs games.

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
So it's super imposed.

Speaker 3 (01:35:59):
Right, So if you were when you were, if you
took a picture of the court, it obviously was, isn't there,
But if you took.

Speaker 4 (01:36:08):
A picture of your TV, it was, and it will
like awful.

Speaker 1 (01:36:12):
Who's in a meeting in a thank tank being like, hey,
we could save ten thousand dollars if we don't put
the final trophy on the court. No one will notice,
you know. It's like, no, this is not the time
to scrimp and try to save money, you know on
the finals, you know, the first May, the first round,
the playoffs, or that stupid playing tournament in December.

Speaker 4 (01:36:35):
Oh, the Plan tournament had better.

Speaker 3 (01:36:37):
That's the other thing, that the Plan Tournament had better
court signage to let you to make you feel like
this is something important that I should care about more effort.
Maybe that's that Katari Immirates money. It's the Emirates Cup
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:36:54):
Oh my god, yeah, Emirates. They they got a GDP
of fifty million dollars. Uh, you know, there's about a
trillion hidden somewhere then do you uh, do you.

Speaker 3 (01:37:06):
Have any So before the series started, as we were
previewing talking about it, I think both of us felt
pretty good about the Pacers.

Speaker 1 (01:37:16):
Oh I want I felt good about the Pacers, but
I knew the odds were with Okay, see yeah, but
if I was gonna sit there and be like, it's
if it could go one way, I was like, I
didn't think there was such a big gap to where
it was unheard of that the Pacers could have, you know,

(01:37:39):
could have pulled it off.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:37:42):
I the Pacers felt going into this, felt like they
had overachieved just to get to where they are with
all the comebacks and the theatrics.

Speaker 1 (01:37:53):
But that's how you win. Like they weren't the eighth seed,
they seed.

Speaker 3 (01:37:58):
But it's how you win against teams that aren't actually
the hot, the elite, high end team they.

Speaker 1 (01:38:06):
Were competing with Boston before Tatum got hurt. They did
beat the best team in the East, Cleveland Cavaliers. Like,
but again, they were the hot to me, Like, I
think in like I think in like baseball terms or
football terms, I'm like, you may not been the favorite,
you may have not had the best thing, but if
you're hot at the right time, sure you could take it. Sure,

(01:38:29):
and basketball is the only one where they can have
an evening of evening effect where the better team usually wins.
But if you're hot, you know what, And that's.

Speaker 3 (01:38:40):
Usually how a team ends up, Like when you have
an eight seed Miami Heat make it to a fine
and then get demolished.

Speaker 1 (01:38:48):
Or that's what I'm saying. They weren't an eight seed.
They weren't like it's unheard of. Like they had a good,
solid team. They have a veteran one of the best
coaches in the league. I always go to. Coach is
on the seven game series. You know what I'm saying,
where the spotlight's not too big bright for him, He's
gonna get his guys ready, He's gonna sit there and whoop,

(01:39:09):
whoop some ass in the locker room at halftime. If
you give up nineteen turnovers.

Speaker 4 (01:39:13):
All of that.

Speaker 3 (01:39:13):
True, All of that being said, it still felt like
thunder and five was the safest pick. And I'm still
it sitting here right now. I'm afraid we might still
be looking.

Speaker 1 (01:39:25):
At thunder under. I'm thinking we're getting at least six
out of this. They're they're like the PA PA one
good quarter, they are gonna win one at home.

Speaker 4 (01:39:36):
One good quarter out of the eighth.

Speaker 1 (01:39:38):
They're due, they're new. I don't know if it's gonna
be this game. It needs to be game three. It
needs to be Game three if it's gonna go. If
they have any chance of winning, they have to they
have to pull out, and they have to do a
good showing. They have to do a good showing and
put it put up. You get embarrassed.

Speaker 3 (01:39:57):
You get embarrassed in the first game back home, and
then the Thunder kind of feel like the inevitable is coming.

Speaker 1 (01:40:04):
Yeah, and then they'd be like, Okay, we can grab
home court advantage if we can just get game four. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:40:10):
I say all of this because you know this, this
talk about the ratings being low or uh, you know,
the Thunder not being necessarily ready to be that year
to year. Can I think there, I think the Thunder
the Thunder here, get get used to the low finals

(01:40:33):
ratings because the Thunder might be playing, and get used.

Speaker 1 (01:40:37):
To the refs blowing that whistle to try to not
try to not make you get there again like the
Spurs treatment did.

Speaker 4 (01:40:44):
Yeah, eventually, eventually they'll.

Speaker 1 (01:40:47):
Clippers Clippers series.

Speaker 3 (01:40:49):
The league will be looking to promote another team up
there and they might get a better whistle against the
thunder But right now, the thunder League darlings, and I
unfortunately think we should probably just get used to this.

Speaker 1 (01:41:04):
Yeah, but I think did you see Wemby's new haircut?

Speaker 3 (01:41:08):
Oh yeah, he looks with the Monks got He's got
a little art in it.

Speaker 1 (01:41:14):
Man, he's got a little art. He's got a little
swag on him.

Speaker 3 (01:41:17):
Let's talk a little because we'll close it out. We'll
close out the basketball talk with that. The Bill Simmons
suggested that the Katie to the Spurs trade might actually
already be done and they're waiting and it's just a
matter of once we get to draft week or draft night.
Like he's not like it was a throwaway comment, and

(01:41:39):
I know it's it's immediately getting run with.

Speaker 1 (01:41:43):
My boy Lanni called this and I hate you.

Speaker 4 (01:41:46):
I think, Well, tell me why it's a bad thing again.

Speaker 1 (01:41:49):
I don't want like Kat's like a cancer. The only
time he didn't the only time he didn't cancer ize
the team was when he had her in a good uh,
like a team that didn't end that great for them.
Many Yeah, exactly. He end up leaving, but he got
two chips out of it. But those people were gonna

(01:42:11):
win a chip anyways. They already did win two chips,
you know what I'm saying. So it's like, like, why
do we like, I just don't want to sully it
By like his antics? Man, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:42:24):
I think you've specifically mentioned Wimby. I think if your
best player says, I mean, I want to play.

Speaker 3 (01:42:33):
With my favorite player of all time, and it just
so happens that favorite player of all time wants to
actually play in San Antonio, I think you do.

Speaker 1 (01:42:42):
Do you think that hesitates? Do you think Wemby's playing
that card like Lebron I want to play with my son.

Speaker 4 (01:42:47):
No, I think Wemby's probably I think I think one.

Speaker 3 (01:42:50):
Obviously, the Spurs brass knows how important KD is to
Wimby as a present, so there's some you know, they
that he has for Katie, the player and the person. Again,
I keep going back to the amount of people that
were reporting that there was almost a KDI to San

(01:43:11):
Antonio trade at the trade deadline. Yeah, so this has
been mutual interest from mutual interest from Wimby, mutual interest
from KD, mutual interests from the Spurs and mutual interests
from the Suns.

Speaker 4 (01:43:25):
Yeah, it kind of.

Speaker 3 (01:43:27):
I mean, I don't I have no idea if Bill
like Bill Simmons saying the trade has already done, I
don't think that's right. But I think the tea leaves
absolutely are all suggesting the Spurs are probably the top
of that potential list of landing spots.

Speaker 1 (01:43:43):
I'm gonna wrap my head around this by being like,
we got Chris Paul for a year to help our
point guards. We're gonna get Kadi for a couple of
years not to help the development of Wimby's offensive game.
That's exactly what it is. Last what I'm gonna put
it ass But do I think it's gonna end? Well,
do I think it's the smart play? My first instincts, No,

(01:44:06):
I like my first instincts, Like, I mean, he's just
he's just.

Speaker 4 (01:44:08):
A lot, Yeah, but like a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:44:10):
Like you've been hoping for that forty five wind.

Speaker 1 (01:44:16):
That's a little easier.

Speaker 4 (01:44:17):
That's a little easier.

Speaker 1 (01:44:18):
I'm gonna push my chips in a little further on
that one.

Speaker 4 (01:44:20):
I'll tell you what. LG.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
Let's save the Cowboys audio for Wednesday show. Since we're
already up against it, let's get to the lightning round.
Close it out here with a little lightning round. Did
y'all see it kind of snuck under the radar? Friday,
the NCAA got the agreement approved by the judge that

(01:44:43):
has been working the case that determines controls athlete pay.
Oh yeah, now so officially as of last Friday, college
sports is radically different. Now it's not nil collectives paying
the players. They can be paid directly by the university.

(01:45:04):
I think it's up to twenty and a half million dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:45:07):
Now something like are they going to be are they
going to be there's gonna be? Is there gonna be
a minimum or is it gonna be?

Speaker 3 (01:45:14):
Like there's no minimum, just a maximum. So if you
have the money, you can spend it up to the
twenty point five million limits. And that comes from uh,
that's it's a formula from the like it's revenue sharing
is what it is, which is what you know every
sport when they go into a strike and when they

(01:45:35):
can't agree on a CBA is because they can't agree
on the revenue sharing.

Speaker 1 (01:45:39):
Now there so but that's usually like me, like veterans,
minimum rookies, minimums and all that stuff and maximum.

Speaker 3 (01:45:45):
So now for this instead of it being it controls.
So now the scholarship number is capped at one oh
five h But in the past, I should say, you
can now offer one hundred and five scholarships. In the
past it was only like eighty five, but you could

(01:46:07):
have one hundred and twenty players on your roster, so
that meant, you know, thirty five of those guys are
walk on.

Speaker 4 (01:46:12):
Yeah, and then now everybody can be on scholarship.

Speaker 3 (01:46:16):
But the number is now you can't have one hundred
and twenty overall players.

Speaker 4 (01:46:19):
You can only have one hundred and five.

Speaker 3 (01:46:21):
But all the big schools can just give everyone a
scholarship now to pay to cover their cost.

Speaker 4 (01:46:26):
Ah, not bad, No, it's again it's one of.

Speaker 1 (01:46:29):
Those it's going there, it's going there.

Speaker 3 (01:46:31):
I think the the ultimate, the ultimate test for all
of this is when the big ten in the SEC
just says, if y'all we're doing our own thing and
we're not gonna be an NC double A, We're not
going because the NC double A is just a.

Speaker 4 (01:46:48):
It's just an overarching its own entity entity. Right, there's
no side.

Speaker 1 (01:46:54):
They're like, I have different overtime rules and we can
do what we want. We're the NCA and the college like,
and they would give the school some you know, grant
money and stuff like that from their revenue, show from
their revenue, right and whatnot, and they would give all
the colleges that. But now the colleges are like, well,
we can just sell our players images and stuff like
that and make our revenue there.

Speaker 4 (01:47:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:47:15):
See, this is where I'm really curious to see how,
you know, NIL changed so much that now this agreement,
it sounds like for for the coaches perspective, it provides
them some clarity going forward. Yeah, but I think you're

(01:47:35):
still the rush of people.

Speaker 1 (01:47:37):
We're still a couple of weeks away, exactly. Yeah, a
couple of tweeks that need to be happened. Hit me, LG.
This is a tasty burger. Oh speaking of tasty burgers,
how about them Philly Philly Burgers? Uh No, Pittsburgh Burgers.
With though a Aron going to the Steelers signing like

(01:47:59):
it's a big deal. You're in the lightning round aa Ron,
You're not headline news. Good luck, good luck to Tomlin
with that crap.

Speaker 3 (01:48:08):
That's that's such an interesting move too, because if you
if you read trust some of the reporting, it sounds like,
you know, Rogers wasn't even like they wanted to re
sign Fields. Apparently, Yeah, and they there was a there
was another one that I'd seen a Pittsburgh writer put

(01:48:30):
out that was ahead of the like Rogers is like
a third option fallback at this point.

Speaker 1 (01:48:35):
And what was it? Seventeen mil? It was ten mil guarantee,
seventeen mil with perks, seventeen to nineteen mil with perks.

Speaker 3 (01:48:43):
Yeah, and something we're going to start in July one
episode of one of that. I think on Wednesdays we're
going to start to do a division by division preview
and look at some teams over unders. So like, if
you were the Pittsburgh Steelers, how much does Vegas even

(01:49:05):
change your over over over under number based off this sign?
Like how much better does it actually? Does it make
them three wins better? One win better? Does it move
the needle? Whatsoever?

Speaker 1 (01:49:17):
We we're gonna be getting through that through the dog
days this summer. Man, after the after the what you
man call it? Hit me, LG.

Speaker 3 (01:49:25):
I think he's gonna have trouble finding ayahuasca and greater
Pittsburgh area. Anyway, another sports headline that we have missed
since the last time we talked. Maybe I did correct
me if i've we've already we talked about the Stars
firing their coach Pete de boor I think it came
out after last Wednesday's episode. So it's one of those

(01:49:46):
It's one of those situations where and we talked about
it in the moment when the Stars got eliminated. Would
you rather be a Miami, a Florida Marlins fan that
makes it to the playoffs once a day wins the
World Series, but the other nine years are dogshit awful?
Or would you rather be a team that makes the

(01:50:07):
playoffs ten years of a decade, makes it to three
straight conference finals, that can never get over that hump?
And I like, I understand the goal is winning it,
and the goal like sure, but if you're telling me
for a decade, I've got to watch nine years of
a terrible product just to get one championship, I will

(01:50:29):
personally always take the journey over the destination.

Speaker 1 (01:50:33):
Yeah A, that's that's cowboy fan right there, who sits
there and tells Niner fan it's like man, It's like,
oh man, You've made three championship but you never won it.
I'd rather be a cowboy fan and never go to
the playoffs and lose every first year.

Speaker 3 (01:50:47):
Well, we actually won more regular season games over a
three year period than your.

Speaker 1 (01:50:51):
How many playoff games?

Speaker 3 (01:50:52):
No, but I say all that just to roll you
like this, because I know it gets you.

Speaker 1 (01:50:57):
But we agree on the same thing. Sure, sure, all
right here me LG.

Speaker 4 (01:51:02):
Well, hold on, hold on, Oh wait, wait, wait for
the on the stars firing de Boor.

Speaker 3 (01:51:07):
The question now is when you have a guy that
gets you to three straight conference finals, it's obviously I'm
not so sure.

Speaker 4 (01:51:16):
It's the coaching that is the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:51:18):
There's going to be way more changes made to that
roster moving forward because they got to get younger. And
it sounds like they might even be looking at an
internal hire, might be hiring the guy from Cedar Park,
from the minor league team.

Speaker 1 (01:51:31):
Well, the fact that the fact that you signed that guy, uh,
I forget him that went around to three teams and
made that run. Which what was his name, Pete? No, No,
not people? Which one the hockey player, the guy who
set all the records. Oh, McDavid, McDavid, you hired him
for a long, long period of time. Didn't you sign

(01:51:52):
that guy that like had the straight five, like thirteen
straight games with an assister of goal. Oh crazy rant
for a long time, Dear, I think y'all trying to
take things up. Hit me LG Oh no again, just
launched water sweet sweet dialon. You're too close. Man, got

(01:52:16):
charged with.

Speaker 4 (01:52:16):
The best rappers a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:52:18):
Got charged by a st bye. I guess what was he?
What kind of assault was it?

Speaker 4 (01:52:27):
Educate me?

Speaker 1 (01:52:28):
Strangulation? You're too close, man, you're too close. I was
White Club John. You can either make it or you can't. Well,
you want some of this hot fire? And now you
want some of this hot fire. You can need to
make this record or you don't.

Speaker 6 (01:52:42):
God.

Speaker 1 (01:52:43):
Oh, you're too close, man, you're too close. He strangles them.

Speaker 3 (01:52:46):
Yeah, it's been a bad week all around for for
Diddy references. Uh almost got kicked out of the courtroom
last week.

Speaker 1 (01:52:54):
Too bad.

Speaker 4 (01:52:55):
That hit me LG.

Speaker 1 (01:52:58):
Deep change the animals.

Speaker 3 (01:53:01):
Oh, speaking of speaking of, we were talking tech baseball
in the In Your Yankee Minute with the kid the
Red Sox pitcher. Well, Tech softball went as far as
they could with the best pitcher in the game.

Speaker 1 (01:53:17):
But finally, I'm not going to say that poor girl
because she's richer than both of us.

Speaker 4 (01:53:20):
Oh god.

Speaker 3 (01:53:21):
Yeah, and they signed to another million plus year deal.
She'll be back in Lubbock next year.

Speaker 1 (01:53:27):
They made her three games that she played every game,
and that's why, Like someone actually would a my man
rolling hopefully hopefully he's listening. He's like, you taught me something.
He's like, I didn't know that softball girls got to
play a game after game after game.

Speaker 4 (01:53:43):
Yeah she had.

Speaker 3 (01:53:44):
She had thirty, well thirty five of their fifty regular
season wins something like that exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:53:49):
And I was like, I guess the torque on the
underhand pitch doesn't hurt the elbow as much. You know
what I'm saying, because I was like, a breaking ball,
well you know, you tear ligaments.

Speaker 3 (01:53:58):
Yeah, that that's I, without knowing too too much, I
think that's exactly what it is.

Speaker 4 (01:54:04):
But she'll be back.

Speaker 3 (01:54:05):
I mean again, like that, Texas, you have three games
up against her, and by game three they almost run
ruled her. So yeah, Texas, clearly that was their first
softball championship. We were talking back, that's the first exactly. Yeah,
I was referenced I thought it was the first one
in a long time. No, first one. Wow, yeah, first one.

Speaker 1 (01:54:29):
Dirty Sooners had that hit me lg oh Man. He
is podcast goal by former NFL cornerback Adam pac Man
Jones arrested on multiple charges assault charges once again.

Speaker 3 (01:54:45):
Yeah, but he wasn't even the worst former Cowboys cornerback
from the weekend?

Speaker 4 (01:54:50):
Was he a Cowboy pac Man?

Speaker 1 (01:54:52):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, that's right. Joe Jerry just signs
all the leftovers.

Speaker 3 (01:54:56):
Well, it was a weekend for leftovers because we had
Greg Hardy get arrest did first, and then it was
Adam Pacman Jones, and then it was former Cowboys second
round pick boss Man Fat you know, Divide Kelvin Joseph
who uh unfortunately kill hit a lady on a motorcycle

(01:55:17):
at about four am and then drove three miles away,
pulled over, waited forty minutes before he called the police.

Speaker 1 (01:55:26):
All he sobered up and realized I'm not going to
get this.

Speaker 3 (01:55:29):
Well, apparently he called a family relative and was talking
to them at the where he pulled over. His car
was on a rim because he clipped her with the
front side of it.

Speaker 4 (01:55:39):
Yeah, and he I mean it was d.

Speaker 3 (01:55:41):
Uy and you know injury or death resulted from Yeah,
exactly so. Uh who could have predicted Kelvin Joseph would
have been a bust when he did. He smoked so
much weed that LSU said, dude, you got it transferred.

Speaker 4 (01:55:58):
It's not even stopped. You gotta transfer. That's how he
ends up at Kentucky. Hit me, LG. We'll close out
with this.

Speaker 1 (01:56:05):
I a milkshake.

Speaker 3 (01:56:07):
I know I have, I know I have teased that
we will get to the Well video. The Charnles Ramsey
interview in Cincinnati will not be the Well video. We're
closing out with that Wednesday, but not tonight.

Speaker 4 (01:56:21):
We've got to mention before we get out of here.

Speaker 3 (01:56:24):
I got a trio of gay news to hit. We
have our first openly gay mayor.

Speaker 1 (01:56:32):
Jones.

Speaker 4 (01:56:32):
I voted for what I saw.

Speaker 3 (01:56:35):
It was like seventeen percent of the city actually voted. Yeah,
seventeen It clips the prior record.

Speaker 1 (01:56:42):
But it was up. It was up from the original
that it was like what ninety thousand voted, and I
think one hundred and seventy thousand voted this time.

Speaker 4 (01:56:50):
Yeah, one hundred and forty three thousand thousand. Yeah, yeah, she.

Speaker 1 (01:56:55):
So many people were like I only voted, Like there's
only two people on there to vote, and I was like, yeah,
it's it's a runoff.

Speaker 4 (01:57:01):
That's how these work. Fifty of the vote. Uh. And
then other follow up.

Speaker 3 (01:57:07):
Remember when I mentioned I was going to try to
apply to be a fill in city council member for
my district. Missed the deadline. They actually, believe it or not,
for government.

Speaker 1 (01:57:17):
Were supposed to run the country.

Speaker 3 (01:57:19):
They actually they actually want you to get ship notarized
and actually take it pretty serious.

Speaker 1 (01:57:26):
They want you to do it. Yeah, they want they
want a lawyer to look over paperwork. It's amazing, but
oh my god, random Joe schmoke and.

Speaker 4 (01:57:34):
No, you know, it feels like they actually come.

Speaker 1 (01:57:36):
Off his podcast and start doing city work.

Speaker 3 (01:57:40):
Look, judging by what they actually get done, I thought
I would be overqualified.

Speaker 1 (01:57:45):
So so the best thing you do is you suck
up to the mayor and then you get appointed to
your position. You don't need to be elected, you get
appointed to him.

Speaker 3 (01:57:52):
He said, I've always been more I've always been more
of a county guy. Anyway, I'm more of a I'm
more of a county guy.

Speaker 1 (01:57:59):
Hey, the follows us, let's get you know where tease
on our podcast. Man, then you get appointed.

Speaker 3 (01:58:05):
She's got much much bigger fish to fry. And then
lastly a update. So we talked about this when it happened,
the murder shooting of Jonathan jokes jo, I do it
every time, dang time, because I just want to say,
I just want to say Jonathan.

Speaker 1 (01:58:26):
Redcorn sounds say mister Redcorn.

Speaker 3 (01:58:29):
So quickly the sap D immediately came out right afterwards
because we talked about it, his partner on social media
claiming it was a hate crime.

Speaker 1 (01:58:38):
The very next day, sap D.

Speaker 3 (01:58:40):
Comes out and says, uh, now we have no reason
to believe. Well McManus walked that back. Yeah, but next day.

Speaker 1 (01:58:49):
He sounded so humble, Like I mean, he sounded like
he just got like rubber holes whipped and like was
out there like a little kid. I'm sorry, Yeah, I
shouldn't have done that, Like what was I thinking? Blah
blah blah.

Speaker 3 (01:59:04):
Interesting one though, because reading it more like I didn't
know this. In Texas, hate crimes aren't determined. They're determined
by the prosecuting county. Yeah, so like the SAPD doesn't
actually determine whether it's a hate crime or not.

Speaker 1 (01:59:19):
You're supposed to gather the county prosecutor, right, and then
the prosecutor is the one that charges it. And that's
the thing. Like they are investigators, you know what I'm saying, Like,
whenever a police stops you, they're in there to investigate
something that might be going on. I legally, so, oh
your registration was out, that's illegal. Oh they can't just

(01:59:40):
pull you over and be like, oh, it smells like
weed in your car. No, that's illegal because you couldn't
snow my weed going at sixty miles an hour. So
they are investigative people. They're supposed to investigate crimes.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
Yeah, it feels like anytime you're just dismissing something immediately
they don't charge you without investigating, you're probably you're you're
at least opening yourself up to be massively wrong. And
it feels like that's kind of what McManus was saying
in the moment or after the moment.

Speaker 1 (02:00:12):
They're sending out National Guards to la with no governors
to or mayors.

Speaker 4 (02:00:16):
Well maybe if the governor did god damned gown.

Speaker 1 (02:00:19):
And now we're going to send some marines out there
to do what you know, you know, half those National guard.
People are just sitting around, sleeping on floors. They don't
have water. They they're being mistreated.

Speaker 4 (02:00:29):
Miss are online.

Speaker 1 (02:00:32):
We are mistreating mister watches for news channels at once.

Speaker 3 (02:00:37):
That's not online, that's a quad box on cable. On
that note, get us out of here, LG. It's about
that time. We'll be back Wednesday night. We've got we'll
have a NBA Finals Game three taking place, daring, We'll
have some hockey to react to.

Speaker 1 (02:00:53):
