Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to sports radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Oh, let's go, stinking gus, go bit boy, let's go,
let's go boy. What's up with your closer?

Speaker 3 (00:13):
You had a little dirt on his hands?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
What do you want?

Speaker 1 (00:15):
A little dirt on his hands?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, what do you want?

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Come on, maybe you want to knock a cheat? It
was how how often do we see guys dumb enough
to get busted when they know their hands going to
be checked?

Speaker 3 (00:29):
How did you know it was going to be checked?
I mean right, they do what every.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Single time you come into the game.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
What do you mean he didn't know every time you
come out of the pen that dopey umpire grabs you
for some uncomfortable moment or when you're walking off the field.

Speaker 4 (00:44):
Come on, now, you gotta say. It was like, oh,
this is a mistake. I was, uh, you know, by
a tree that sap on my hands or something like that.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
There was there was a pine tree out there.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
They've added him out to the bullpen, and it's made
things a little bit un comfortable for us out there.
But again, breaking news tonight, as we come to you
live from the ti rack dot com studios. Tire rack
dot com will help you get there and unmatch the selection, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended installers tire rack dot com. The way tire buying

(01:18):
should be Yes, the New York Mets with another I
guess you could say, good little twist is Edwin Diaz
gets booted before he even throws a pitch in the
game tonight. Were you watching? Were you all like fired
up whenever he came to the game and everything?

Speaker 4 (01:34):
Or No, I wasn't watching at that point. Was I
got into the soccer earlier?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Why?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Yeah, the soccer? You've heard of it? I don't know
if you may have.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
You know, I've never heard you once talk about watching soccer.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
Oh god, mister soccer? What is my middle name is Peiway?
What's wrong with you? You know that?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Who were you watching?

Speaker 5 (01:54):
Me?

Speaker 4 (01:54):
And I was with Aluxei Lallis hiking out just watching
the game. Okay, I wasn't with Alexei Lallas, but I
was watching it. Why he didn't get into the USA game?
He didn't like that or what I.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Was just there was too many other crazy things. You
got morons running on the green and the travelers, you know,
Can I just say something. Can I just say something
real quick about that.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't know that coulda I'm being serious.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
That could have turned out a lot worse than it
than it did. Could you imagine, because golfers are very
even tempered people, could you imagine if I was on
the course right, I'm playing golf and I got five
lunatics running toward.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Me, maybe one or two or whatever with tear gas.
Who do I know?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Maybe it's poison. I don't know if he's got weapons.
He doesn't know the weapons. He's gonna shoot me, stabby
and I and I got a golf club.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
In my hand and he gets near me.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Now they say you never know if somebody is gonna
react until you're in their position. I'm pretty sure I'm
swinging that golf club at the first at the first
guy that runs toward me, and I'm swinging it hard.
Would you think that one of the golfers is gonna
take out one of the golf clubs and start swinging
it at somebody that that starts running actisus? Butuse you're
with that gas that's coming out, who knows what that was?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
You know? Well before they could even do anything, I
thought security did a pretty good job of taking him out.
I don't know if a golfer would have had a
chance to swing at Club autam Arni.

Speaker 4 (03:13):
You know what I some people said, it's funny you
said the security did a pretty good job. I saw
people on Twitter just blasting the security guard. Where's security?
How do you let five people run out to the
green like that? I gotta think like that also.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
Chris Okay, Well, I mean, first of all, you've got
to realize the situation. I mean, I I would be
thrown off too at first. But I mean again, every
video I've watched so far, it seems like they do
a pretty good job of getting out there quicker. I mean,
you don't have security guards standing right on the fringe
every single time, right, I mean there's probably a few around,

(03:48):
and you can't have multiple And this was the last group, right,
This was a sudden death playoff, right essentially.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
But you know about the guy that holds up the
sign that says quiet, can't he swing?

Speaker 3 (03:59):
That you see somebody running or what?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Man? Well, I don't know if your natural instinct when
you see someone running is oh my gosh, these are
protesters who are going to try to do some harm.
Usually someone just trying to get a better spot up
in front so they can watch. I mean not wow,
I mean, how many times has this ever happened in
a golf tournament before?

Speaker 4 (04:17):
You see that they're two different people growing up in
two different places. You grew up in the Nice area
and all that. I grew up in the Bronx, New York.
Grew up in Los Angeles like the.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Bronx New York.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
So you went to high school in Los Angeles at Palisades.

Speaker 6 (04:31):
I think the little the Bronx are known for being dirty.
So I don't know.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeah, I don't. I don't know what You're trying to
build yourself up. You're up your soft West Coast guy.
Well now I am, but I have to say it.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
If the course up, if I got a paddle a
golf club, I'm swinging that thing.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
That's the most Hollywood response ever.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, I know exactly here what I would do. I
would take him out. That's what I would do. Well,
Thankfully you weren't there. Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed. Thankfully nobody
would hurt at boy. I'll tell you what I don't
know about you, but I'm not gonna use oil now Arenie.
I mean, these guys, they really they spark something to me, like,
what's your motivation for that? Do you think people are
gonna say, look at this, Look at how brilliant that is.

(05:12):
They're destroying the green and boy that one guy that
was trying I don't know what he was trying to
get out of his pocket, but he was struggling. They
absolutely like fools. I don't know how that helps to
further their cause, but I don't. I thought they did
a good job in minimizing it. But what you're not
even fired up about Edwin Diaz getting mooted tonight. You're

(05:32):
not even fired up about this golf thing you're bringing
up soccer. I didn't even see it in the Roman
numeral rundown in the twenty two total Roman numerals you had.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
I thought, you gotta tell me. I didn't even put
that down somewhere, I think I did. I think you
better go, yes, I did. I have a Roman numeral
number thirteen, USA and Bolivia. There you go, number number three,
subset number three. It's right there, playing his day. What's
wrong with you?

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Well, what do you want to talk about with it?

Speaker 3 (05:58):
I just thought watch any of the game. But I
thought it was great.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
We came out strong early, we scored, we were putting
the pressure over. We were get to get a two
nothing lead, and then we kind of we should have won,
like four or five to nothing. And you know what's crazy.
I'm watching the Erguay game and they were up to
nothing and they kept pushing to get that third goal
so they would have the gold differential against us, But
they gave up a goal at the end and they.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Won three to one, so it was plus two for
both teams.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
Look, I told you, I'm the soccer expert. What's wrong
with you?

Speaker 2 (06:29):
So what does this mean now going forward?

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Oh, we played Panama next. It's only the first game
in the group. So we got to play Panama and
then Erguay and then you know, finishing the top two.
See what happens after that.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I'm paying me surprised. I'm I mean, everything in the
Roman numeral rundown one three like five was all about
the Lakers. So I'm a little bit shocked at the
first thing you would want to bring up is the
soccer that you were I.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Thought, to be honest with you, and I thought either
you were going to bring this up first or you
were trying to duck this because you probably don't want
people to know that. Maybe I'll make the announcement for you.
Roman numeral number six. Are you going to be calling
the Olympics out in Oklahoma City?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Is that something you're going to be doing in twenty
twenty eight?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
About got to hope. So if people would quit bitching
and moaning about I mean, my god, you would think
that the Olympic Arnie softball isn't being played in the
Olympics this year? Did you guys know that it's not
even in the Olympics this year? And Los Angeles there
there was never a plan in any of this to
build a brand new softball state of the art. People

(07:33):
have created this and I don't know where it came
from or why, and maybe it's in my little softball
nerd corner of the world, but you would think that
they moved Olympic softball to like Malaysia or Brazil or
something with the way some of you nerds are acting
about it.

Speaker 3 (07:50):
Really they're making a big, a big think about.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
That very small It's like what about the Olympic experience?
Like what are you're not going to get to go
to the opening ceremonies. I didn't realize that every single
Olympic game ever played was within a five mile radius
of where the opening ceremonies are.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Quit being stupid people, do they?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Who?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Do they pick them that? Can they possibly pick you
to do that?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Or what?

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Sure?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
I mean why not? I'm here.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
I mean you can drop by name if it will
help you, you know, because I've pretty much done a
lot for your career already.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
That's right. Everything I am right now is because of
Arnie Spaniards.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Well, you know if everybody knows that, what what?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
What?

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Where would I drop a name? You don't even know
who I would talk to?

Speaker 4 (08:28):
No, I know, but you could just say, hey, you
know I like to call the softball. They probably don't
answer you to go I do do a show with
Artie Spanier.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Artie Spanier. Love that guy?

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Yeah, I love that Guy's again, usually not the first
response that I get when I Usually I name drop
you to people from Vermont, just like, yeah, I know
somebody from.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Maybe we could call the softball together.

Speaker 4 (08:49):
You don't have mister softball, Well you sound like mister
soccer to me tonight.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
As always, if you guys know what you want to
dive into and go more in depth on the football
with Arnie on anything else that caught your eye today.
You can find us on Twitter or x at Stinking
Genius Wanam at Plank Show. Everybody should give us a
follow at Fox Sports Radio, as would tipify a Sunday
night show.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
We got our man, We're slated.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I should say to talk to Todd Fermanent before we
get to what appears to be a very big topic
in your world right now, Nie, let's go ahead and
hit all the non mainstream stuff right well, even though
Edwin Diaz getting busted tonight. In a little bit more mainstream,
you brought up soccer. You mentioned the Olympics. Is college
Baseball's championship series doing anything for you? Because a little

(09:35):
bit it has been an awesome environment.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
So a little bit about that. I'm checking it out.
It's one nothing so that the first home run to
make it two to one, you talk about people just
going crazy, you know, and then the second old run
made it four to one. So what they'll get the
extra game on Monday? No, because yes, it does something
for me, but not tomorrow, because tomorrow I'm gonna be

(09:58):
all into the to the game seven of the Stanley
cop So I want to check that out. That's that's
gonna be front and center. You know, I got to
tell you something. I went to the to my fair
lady up.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
In there doing this. Now, Well, I was gonna.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Bring up the all right, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (10:13):
Well, the guy next to me was like, what's the
score of the game?

Speaker 4 (10:18):
I go, if you're such a big Edmonton fan, what
are you doing here? Why are you're not watching the game?
And he points to his wife and just she dragged
me here. I had to leave my phone on my
knee so he could look at the score constantly while
the play was going on, so that he appreciated.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
That to wait a minute, hold on, he wasn't able
in a play. And I'm imagining this is a play
right where it's dark, but yet you're able to have
your phone out and somebody not grinch and moan about
it while you're at this play.

Speaker 4 (10:48):
No, because I was actually next to him and he
wanted to see the score.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
But nobody around you. It wasn't dark enough to where
your phone was. Because if I even pull my phone
out anywhere, I am now shamed. I don't know if
people are waiting for it at movie theaters or events,
but it's like, my gosh, I'm sorry, I'm just trying
to see the score.

Speaker 8 (11:06):
Well.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
It's funny because there was another couple to my right
and they both wanted to know the score, but I
wasn't helped.

Speaker 3 (11:14):
I wasn't telling him during the play.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
But the guy next to me to my left, he
kind of give me a nudge and i'd have my
I'd hit my you know, the phone, and the score
come up and he'd be like, yeah, you know, they
were all into Edmonton. It's crazy. First of when they said,
what's the score of the game, I'm thinking, what the
Met game?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
What do you you.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Guys are all Met fans? I?

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Wow, I didn't know. Is there a big game today
with the Mets or something? Are we closed to get
on the first place?

Speaker 2 (11:39):
I don't know. You went from wondering whether or not
they were wanting a Mets score or a hockey score
and now suddenly being mister NHL and on games.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
Exactly they go, did Conor McDavid, Hey, did Connor McDavid
getta go?

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Hey?

Speaker 4 (11:55):
I'm like, no, no, it was so and so I'm
reading that who the hell that even is? Like no,
it's this guy. He's scored a goal. So they're like,
oh man, that guy's awesome.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Oh this is great.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
You know, they're just it.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Was just crazy.

Speaker 9 (12:07):
Man.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Then they were just so into it.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Like I said, I forgot I was in Canada, so
you know, I'm just watching this thing and everybody wanted
to know the.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Score of the game. They were all into it. So
you know, it was a big thing up there that
you have to be there.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Yeah, I would. I would imagine the Edmonton oiler is
trying to be the first team from Canada and when
the Stanley Cups since Patrick Waugh and the Canadians beat
Wayne Gretzky and the Kings.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
I wasn't imagine a deal, especially when but I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
In Edmonton though.

Speaker 4 (12:35):
Yeah, so I wasn't like there's other you know, I
thought maybe they were Toronto fans or something like that.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
But they were. They're all pulling forever.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
They were all excited about it and going crazy. And
did you see the celebration of Edmonton afterwards or driving
exam Boni's on the street and and going crazy.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I'm all into it.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Now, if you didn't get into the first six games,
you're definitely gonna be watching Game seven, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Oh yeah, I mean I'm in. I'm I'm always in
on a Game seven any sport, but this one seems
to have a little bit more in juice. Now. Uh,
I don't know what it's gonna do TV ratings wise.
I've shed my concern about TV ratings many years ago
because I'm gonna watch it and I'm gonna enjoy it.
But you know, we could kind of spread this out
a little bit, can we can we maybe move that

(13:20):
to Tuesday night so we can have a we have
the baseball on Monday, the hockey on Tuesday or something,
because we're about ready to really get into some dry
times for sports talk.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Aren't ye.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
I would I would take these on back to back
nights instead of on the same.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
No, I understand that.

Speaker 4 (13:34):
I think the hockey ratings are made at some type
of record because we're not talking about a back and
forth struggle. We're talking about three nothing and then coming
back to what in the next three So now you've
got that injury going, Like you said.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Are they gonna be able to pull that off?

Speaker 4 (13:48):
It's not done a lot, very I mean very few
in hockey, zero I believe in the NBA, so I
think people the casual fan will tune in just to
see what's going on in this one.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
And it's a Monday, So what else are people gonna do?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
You know, that's true unless you lose what could have
been some diehard Texas A and M and Tennessee fans
that'll be tuned into college baseball. But there's this is
an interesting week. This is an interesting week because not
only I mean, are you aware of what major event
is taking plates this week?

Speaker 3 (14:17):
The JJ Reddick being introduced as a Laker head coach.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Well, I mean yeah, I mean that that's gonna take
The NBA Draft.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Is this week.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
Oh, I didn't even know.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I did.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
You don't even have on the rundown anywhere. It's not
a new prediction.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Twenty two NFL Roman numerals that I got zero.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Out of the NBA Draft.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
None.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
And it's a two day NBA draft, which, by the way,
have you checked the times on when the draft? They've
moved the draft to a two day event, and literally
they're doing the second round on Friday in the middle
of the afternoon. It's I understand that the second round
can sometimes be a little bit. What's the best way

(14:56):
to put this pointless? But they're doing Thursday night is
the first round and it starts at six thirty Central,
seven thirty Eastern, and then the second round, Arnie is
on Friday afternoon at four o'clock Eastern on ESPN.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Oh boy, I can see people skipping out on work now.
I got the NBA Draft second round going on. Can't
be going to going back to work after lunch. That
can't be happen now.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
I mean, I understand if you're gonna do it on
like Saturday afternoon, and I'm telling you right now, I
have looked and looked and and I've constantly I'm like,
why is it? But no, the first round is at
seven thirty. Oh, I'm sorry Wednesday night, Wednesday night, and
then the second round is the middle of the afternoon
on Thursday. What are we doing?

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Look at the difference.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
I mean, if we weren't talking three hours of NFL
Draft two days before the draft, then you know, we're
just not doing a.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Phone call get a phone call afterwards.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh, it'd be it'd be just insane.

Speaker 4 (15:54):
Everybody, I mean every show would be talking about the
NFL Draft.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Here we got the NBA Draft. I didn't hear anybody
even bring it up.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's crazy not a market name, and we were if
you go back to probably last Zion Williamson when he
went number one overall, when you had that marquee name.
But I mean, boy, nothing says prime time like putting
an event on Thursday afternoon on ESPN. I mean, that's
when we're talking about prime real estate ladies and gentlemen. Well,

(16:22):
when we come back to the tire rack dot com studios,
Arnie mentioned twenty two total robo Oh yeah, not a
single one of them on the NBA Draft, but there
seemed to be a common theme, at least in the
first four.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
We'll dive into it next on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You see, do you see the text that the Late
Night Drug Tester just sent us text?

Speaker 3 (17:27):
No, we're getting a lot today. I know I say
that every week, but we are getting.

Speaker 2 (17:30):
Every show, even we got one.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
We are getting a lot today though. You can see that, So.

Speaker 2 (17:36):
I haven't looked. I just opened it up and I
saw this first one from Late Night Drug Tester that
said work productivity is going to be lower than the
first round of the NCAA on Thursday to see who
actually drafts Brownie James.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
You know, people do want to see that. You know,
people are still betting that he's gonna go number one overall.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, then people are dumb. Where are these people?

Speaker 2 (17:57):
And and I've got some land I want to sell him.
I mean, you think that's a smart move. No, I don't.
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Maybe they know something I don't.

Speaker 1 (18:08):
Maybe there's no they don't. Nobody does.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Absolutely nobody does. If Bronnie James were to go number
one in the draft, and there's some sort of fix
in and some guy reset the market.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
It would be.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
No, it could be the only thing is I always.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Think there's no, no, there's no. We don't have to
talk about this. You got you got twenty two topics,
you don't have to create something. Yet there's no conversation
about Bronnie going number one.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
St Bron happened to be the owner of a team.

Speaker 1 (18:33):
Okay, I still don't think he would go number I
still think did you notice now did I fall for
something fake?

Speaker 2 (18:45):
This week? When apparently Rich Paul said that they weren't
necessarily all gung ho about Lebron and Bronnie teaming up again,
and that.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Saw that one.

Speaker 4 (18:55):
I saw that that maybe I'm the one that sentence
to you, maybe that's why you were confused. I saw
that they said that it wasn't on Lebron's what top
of his list, that they're not gonna worry about it,
and kind of shrugging everything off. You've been hearing a
lot about was it the Phoenix Suns as a possible
suitor for Brody? I'm real curious where he's gonna go.
If he's gonna get drafted, That's the only reason I'd

(19:16):
be tuning into the second round is just to see
something like that and what's going to happen, and there'll
be any trades and stuff like that. That's the only
reason I'd be tuning in to see where that guy goes.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Has been pointed out by the way that the debate
is on Thursday night, Yes, yes, but I don't know
about you. I'd rather actually watch the second round of
the NBA Draft than the debate. And I know the
debate will do bonkers numbers because I think what we're
only getting one so good point at jas Ad Jason
b Diamond at wind Ham Stan and pointing out that

(19:51):
that might be while we're seeing it earlier on a
Thursday night, But the optics of it, the optics of
it pretty much suck.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
It's like, hey, when's the second round of the NFL Draft?

Speaker 2 (20:01):
Could you imagine if they did it during the weekday
and it was at two o'clock in the afternoon Pacific time? Like,
what are we even doing? What are we even doing?
All right? So, speaking of West Coast, I was very
excited to get the ARNI Span your rundown for the
show kyl our producer Mary running the board to saga
obviously has a full on update coming up in about
five minutes from now. I was very excited to get

(20:21):
the rundown for the show again yesterday, yesterday morning, as
I was.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Driving back from Canada and it takes seven hours, by
the way, it takes seven seven and a half hours
to drive back, I slept six hours, six hours and
forty five minutes of the of the drive back. You
made your wife drive, well, I had to get my
rest here.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
World worst husband, yeah, I know right.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
No, no, no, no, no, no, that would be okay.

Speaker 4 (20:47):
It's what I did when I said, can you turn
down or turn off the radio so I could sleep
and you drive in silence?

Speaker 7 (20:56):
You're still a world worst husband.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
Yeah. So as I got this rundown yesterday, Yes, yes,
I noticed that at the very least the first four
Roman numerals, yes, had nothing to do with the Celtics
winning the NBA title.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Rule number four worst playoffs ever even the first three yes? Yes,
all Lakers related. That's correct. Yes, I did put that
up there. Why I was bored. I told you I
was bored to Tiers about the NBA Finals. I told
you I was bored to Tiers about the NBA playoffs
after the Nicks got eliminated. I think people actually agreed
with me. There was record load numbers in a lot

(21:34):
of these games out there, so I think the rest
of America also agreed. I'm not so sure why the
Celtics MAVs did solo when you had four superstars like that.

Speaker 3 (21:44):
But the games weren't intriguing. They weren't all that close.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
And to be honest with you, more people want to
know about what's going on with the Lakers and JJ
Reddick and Lebron and and and stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Then you know the Celtics in their parade.

Speaker 4 (21:57):
I mean, Jesus, they had the parade, big deal, Nothing
crazy happened, Move on out. I think there are gonna
be a one and done team. I don't see them
going back to the NBA Finals next year, but you
know that's that's to see what happened then. But I
just I didn't find it intriguing or exciting at all.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
How would you feel if the would you care if
the Knicks won a title and everyone was telling you
how boring and how much.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
No, I'd be down in New York still celebrating. I
would be on the show today. I'd be calling him sick,
and we'd be having a time of all men, would
I'd be down there in Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
I'd be down there at a hotel room, partying with
all the Nick fans, and geez, what a what a
great time that would be.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
It's kind of wild because I can't argue with you
because here I am, I'm all excited. I downloaded like
three or four the NBA podcast recap in the NBA Finals,
and I didn't finish any of them. Now, I didn't
finish a single one of them because again about five
minutes in, and I'm like, those finals really kind of sucked.
And I mean, for the most part, so did the playoffs?

(22:59):
Now again, Boston fan, sorry not sorry? Enjoyed eighteen? Earned it?

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Did they?

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Did? They get some breaks with injuries? You bet, but
you still take advantage of it. Yes, still it doesn't matter.
They still won.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
No, it is, but we won't remember it. But it
was the easiest rule telling.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's one of the greatest teams according to everyone I've
listened to that's ever been assembled, So go figure. But
when they start getting into what's the memorable moment, and
even these playoffs, Honie, what's the moment in the Celtics
run that when people look back, they have their Derek
Fisher versus San Antonio or Clay Thompson Game six moment,

(23:37):
or I.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
Mean, Robert how about that?

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Or Lebron James chasing down the Golden State Warriors. I mean,
we didn't have the greatest moment in that. Maybe Celtics
roundoff run was the first round.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
No, no, I thought you're gonna say the playoffs first
round Denver and the Lakers, when Denver hit two game
winning shots.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
And you really only had one moment even like that
for the Celtics, right, Game one against the Pacers in
the Eastern Conference Finals. Right.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Otherwise it was a cakewalk for the Celtics. Like you said,
I don't think too many peas Celtic fans don't care.
They're just celebrating it. But even Celtic fans like, damn,
I'm not even gonna.

Speaker 3 (24:17):
Go to the parade, and we want we knew we're
gonna win it that way it let's just enjoyed it.
We'll have our own party.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
You know, Someday I want to be that successful with
my franchise where I'm able to be like a you
know what, I think I'm gonna miss that championship parade.
I don't think I'm gonna go today just because feeling
a little tired. Kids got balled tomorrow morning. Like, don't
you want to be in that position as a fan
where someone might say that was the worst playoffs I've

(24:43):
ever watched it in my life.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
You're like, don't care won the title?

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Shut up?

Speaker 1 (24:47):
You know what an amazing feeling.

Speaker 4 (24:49):
The only team that was waiting for a championship for
so long that it was like a relief was the
cub fans?

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Right? It was sure walk right now?

Speaker 4 (24:57):
Who is the team that the fans just want to
explode at a parade for winning a championship? I guess
it would be probably be an NHL. How about that?
How great of a party is that going to be?
If that happens?

Speaker 11 (25:14):
It?

Speaker 3 (25:14):
Edmit?

Speaker 2 (25:14):
Did well? I think I think the Mets would be
in that mix, right, Not really, you don't care about
winning a World Series?

Speaker 4 (25:23):
Oh I care about winning a World Series. I just
think there would be a lot of Met fans like, eh,
we won it. We were supposed to win it, you know,
no big deal.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Yeah, you think the Mets are supposed to win the win.

Speaker 3 (25:34):
But I don't know this year. Oh I said this year.

Speaker 2 (25:37):
I just meant in gen Yeah, because you were asking
what what fan base would lose their mind and be
fired up.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Well, i'll tell you what. If the Raiders were still
in Oakland and.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
The Raiders did it, then maybe, oh yeah, that would
be pretty insane, seeing they haven't done it since nineteen
eighty four and they haven't.

Speaker 4 (25:51):
Oh you know what, I take it back, I take it,
I take it back. I know it would be going crazy.
Who's that Cowboy fans?

Speaker 2 (25:59):
That cowboy fan would probably find themselves mad about something
in a contract negotiation that would have ruined their whole
good time. No Cowboy fan would be losing their mind.
I mean the Rangers. That's great. The Rangers won the
World Series and that was an awesome celebration. But we
know who runs that town. Oh you know you lived
there for like what a year?

Speaker 4 (26:18):
Yeah, so they ran me out. But no, it was
if the Cowboys wanted that hold. I mean, Cowboy fans
around the country will go crazy. But yeah, down there
in Dallas, in Fort Worth, it will be just absolutely disgusting.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
It'd be one big party.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
All right. So there is Arnie and my perspective on
the boring nature of the NBA Finals. But let's bring
you some juice because obviously one of the best known
franchises in all of sports hired a coach who's never
been a coach before. We'll get into the reaction next,
but first, Steve Sager with everything that's going on in
the world of sports, what's going on?

Speaker 4 (26:52):
By the way, the saga's a topic on the show
later on today.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
Wait till we get to it. I can't wait.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I didn't see it on the rundown.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
It kept it a supper. Give him you like to
warn him?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
So that's supposed to make me less. I'm not supposed
to tell the Seger what's.

Speaker 11 (27:07):
By the way, wouldn't the Jets or Knicks title that's
been over.

Speaker 4 (27:10):
Fifty The Jets are right, the Jets would. Oh, that'd
be disgusting. Oh, that'd be scary. Would it not be
the Jet fans going crazy and interviewing those Jet fans?
Wait that, babe, Yeah, it'd just be thoughts in Canada?

Speaker 11 (27:24):
Hasn't it been with Toronto over one of the original franchise, Yeah,
we said Edmonton.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Wanted, Yeah tomorrow, that'd be going they'd go.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Crazy up at Edmonton Nick fans, Yeah, they'd go crazy,
but not as much as Jet fans. You're right about that.
Jet fans would be right up there with Cowboy fans.

Speaker 11 (27:40):
By the way, I looked up past TV ratings the
NFL Conference championship games this year. The two games average
fifty six million viewers. Presidential debates averaged sixty eight million
four years ago.

Speaker 3 (27:56):
We do better than that, don't we. Plan.

Speaker 11 (27:57):
I think this is down to one channel, so maybe
it'll be different, but that's just ludicrous. I can't even
put into context what kind of numbers those are for television.
These say back to reality. The NBA Draft a year
ago was under five million viewers. Stanley Cup Finals so
far as averaging three point six million viewers. Oh, they've

(28:18):
gotten just over four million for the last couple of games.

Speaker 4 (28:21):
Although so they could maybe get what like five million
for a game seven?

Speaker 11 (28:24):
Maybe so in Game sevens Edmonton at Florida on Monday
to decide that Stanley Cup Panthers have lost three straight.
They not only held a three games to none lead,
they haven't held a lead in any game since and historically,
road teams have now won each of the past three
game sevens in the history of the final. Before then,
the home teams were dominant, but when Saint Louis won

(28:45):
its first Cup five years ago, it won a game
seven on the road at Boston. Boston itself in twenty
eleven won a Game seven of the final at Vancouver.
I don't quite remember how the folks in Vancouver responded
in the streets of Vancouver after that, getting shut out
at home for nothing in a game seven. Pittsburgh in
two thousand and nine won a Game seven at Detroit

(29:06):
two to one. Well, US men's soccer defeated Bolivia tow
nothing and it's Copeamerica opener in Arlington, Texas. Attendance forty
eight thousand Christian Polistics scored in the third minute had
an assist late in the first half as well. The
Americans will play Panama on Thursday in Atlanta. Uruguay defeated
Panama three to one tonight in Miami with a lot
of late scoring. Tomorrow night on FS one, Brazil in

(29:29):
La against Costa Rica. Argentina plays Tuesday night in New
Jersey versus Chile. The tournament started this past Thursday night
with number one Argentina getting a win against Canada in Atlanta,
over a million viewers on FS one for that. At
the Euro Soccer Tournament Germany, the host tied Switzerland won
to one with a late goal. Scotland was eliminated. Among
the four WNBA games, Chicago defeated Indiana eighty eight eighty seven,

(29:53):
Angel Reefs twenty five point sixteen rebounds. The Lakers will
introduce JJ Reddick as head coach tomorrow. B Scottie Scheffler
won the Travelers in a playoff in Connecticut, his sixth
victory this season. Tom Kim finished second. Christopher Bell took
the NASCAR race at New Hampshire. Chase Briscoe finished second.
Bell has three Cup Series victories this year. Andy won

(30:15):
Yesterday's Infinity Race. Weather stop today's race for over two hours.
At one point, rain had canceled qualifying yesterday. At the
College World Series, number one Tennessee Force to Game three tomorrow,
winning against fourth ranked Texas A and M four to
one today. So the Balls got the go ahead homer
in the top of the seventh They were what seven
outs from elimination?

Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh yeah, got the w.

Speaker 11 (30:36):
A and M had taken last night's opener of the
Best of three, nine to five. So one of these
teams is going to win its first national title in baseball.

Speaker 4 (30:44):
I'm rooting for Tennessee because I used to data grow
from A and M that broke up with me.

Speaker 11 (30:47):
So this is my reve So let's go in your life.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Let's go. So you hated Menzel too.

Speaker 11 (30:53):
When that was going on for the same reason.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
I'm guessing, well, I've rooted against them. They're all so
why we we lived together too? We probably would have
gotten married if she liked me.

Speaker 11 (31:02):
God A and M is of course an SEC crew
these days, So somebody's going to become the fifth straight
champion from the SEC, although eventually we're just gonna have
two conferences in coming sports anyway.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Who's committed with baseball either, I mean diamond sports. I
hope they still get I hope they still get funded
like they are on the SEC.

Speaker 11 (31:21):
So you're saying there's a problem with NCAA sports right now?

Speaker 8 (31:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
Thanks, think we need to be a issue rev share
coming up that mind hurt these non rev sports keeping.

Speaker 11 (31:30):
Speaking of problems, Mets closer Edwin Diaz was thrown out
of the game to start the bottom of the ninth tonight,
never threw a pitch due to a foreign substance on
his hand. He is facing a ten game suspension tomorrow.
The Mets won five to two at the CUBS and
US Track Trials going on in Eugene, Oregon tonight. Noah
Lyles is headed to Paris after winning the one hundred

(31:52):
meters in nine point eight three seconds. Also this weekend,
Carrie Richardson was a winner in the women's one hundred meters.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
Back to you, by the way, Disager, were you pleasantly
surprised to see how big of a story that became
with the Shikari Richardson and her qualifying for the Olympics?

Speaker 11 (32:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
The people I dugged and everyone got into it.

Speaker 11 (32:11):
Yeah, And I'm glad that track is the story because
unfortunately she has been a story in the past.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
Did she not qualify in another event.

Speaker 2 (32:18):
Or am I wrong on that? Well? Remember she qualified
four years ago but didn't tested positive.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
For right, No, I knew that. I just didn't know
if she was going to be in more than one event.
Didn't qualify.

Speaker 11 (32:27):
Well, Lyles is still racing. I think it's next weekend
two hundred. It's the swimming that's had a couple of
weekends and it's finishing now, I think, but track is
still going.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
Gotcha great stuff.

Speaker 11 (32:36):
You know what did we bring up last Sunday night
on the show that the swimming trials are being held
in a football stadium where the Colts play. They built
a temporary pool over the concrete floor. We detailed it.
And then what do the LA organizers announce for the
twenty twenty sax Number Games. The swimming competition is going
to be at the Rams Stadium.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Where are the Olympic insiders? We told everybody that.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
We had you called it, you called it exect so
real quick before we grab a break. It's Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
You call me, Arnie.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
I was close enough, close enough? Were you then upset
or triggered by the hiring of JJ Reddick? Is that
why it was number one number one on the Roman
Numeral rundown this weekend? What was your takeaway overall?

Speaker 4 (33:19):
First of all, he doesn't come across as a very
likable guy, Chris Well.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
I mean, if there is one promo that hits dead
on here on Fox Sports Radios, Doug Gottlieb talking about
the arrogance of duke guys and it is definitely noticeable
with JJ Redick.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
I think things are gonna go real south, real quick
for the Lakers. They're not gonna have their stars be
you know, Lebron and Anthony Davis won't play in many
games like they did last year. I think once things
go south, the team will turn on JJ Reddick. He
doesn't have the experience, so I think he may at times,

(33:54):
you know, get something wrong or just not sure how
to handle situations. I just don't think it was the
smartest higher. Now he could prove me wrong, but I
just don't see him making all the difference in the
world to a Laker team that really needs more players
and more talent than an all star coach. I mean, yeah,
they need an all start coach, but he's no Phil Jackson,

(34:15):
let's be honest with that. So I just don't think
it's going to work out. And unless they get somebody
really great between now and the start of the.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Season, I'm you gotta surround him with smart guys. You
gotta surround him with smart guys, building that coaching staff
around him.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
He's going to be huge, Arnie huge.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
Remember remember the stat fifty percent of marriages and then divorce.
Lebron and JJ Reddick is like a marriage. We'll see
if this one doesn't end in the divorce. We'll see
everything's great now on the honeymoon stage. When the first
couple of losses start coming and you come out of
the gate, oh in eight or two to ten or something,
that marriage goes south real quick.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yeah, I'm gonna go out on a lamb and guests
more than fifty of the Lebron coaching relationships in the divorce too.
All right, when we come back to the tyrack dot
com studios, as Arnie says, got a lot of tweets,
We'll get to him next.

Speaker 2 (35:22):
I still laugh at the fact that Edwin Diaz comes
rolling out and before he even takes them around, it's
like you're out see it, go back to the bench, dude,
Come on.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
I just don't know how they realize that it's not
snot or something like that. I saw it where the
uppire made a comments saying we know what sweat and
something else is.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
This wasn't it.

Speaker 4 (35:43):
It was a sticky substance and we've checked thousands of
thousands of these, So but how do you approve it?
What are they gonna say, you know, bring out the
forensic kit and start scraping it off and put it
in a plastic bag and go ahead and get it
tested or something.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I just don't understand.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
No, it's no, because he knows what he did.

Speaker 3 (36:05):
Go with the line, you go with the lie. Just
keep denying and denying.

Speaker 2 (36:09):
I don't think this is a situation where you can
keep denying. I think it's gonna be a situation where
it's like, yeah, so I might have grabbed a pine
tar rag there to help myself.

Speaker 4 (36:17):
I would I would keep denying. Then if it got
the worse, I'd say, yeah, somebody tripped me. I fell
into the bag and I don't know who knows what
happened after that.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
There's video everywhere. I mean, what are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (36:30):
I deny, deny, keep denying. That's what I do.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Oh, fair enough, I don't think that'll be that'll work.
But a boy Nightingale and many others i'd disagre had
in his update, Yeah, it looks like a ten game
suspension coming up for Edwin Teas.

Speaker 3 (36:44):
But how can you literally just what things were going
good for the Mets too?

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Well? They still are? They still are? I mean, I
I I know that. Are you all in on Grimace
being the secret saucer? Damn right?

Speaker 3 (36:56):
I am what are you crazy?

Speaker 4 (36:57):
Yes, the last time you ate McDonald's, I didn't need
it on the way out to Canada.

Speaker 1 (37:03):
So oh so you've had it recently?

Speaker 3 (37:05):
Oh yeah, probably like a month or two ago.

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Yeah. I think it's bring back the purple Shake. I
think it's necessary to the text. Let's hit some of
them text, tweets, exes, whatever you want to call him.
At Stink Genius want him and playing show, everybody should
follow us.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
At Fox Sports Radio, Brandon.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Writes, I don't think Brownie wants to play with his
dad on a team, And honestly, I can see a
Lebron retirement in the middle of a season. Whoa, no,
I Jackson.

Speaker 4 (37:34):
No, He's never going to retire in the middle of
a season. He wants to go ahead and get his
accoades and his good byes in and stuff like that.
He'll announce it before the start of the season so
everybody could do their you know, tributes, and stuff like that.
As to whether sub wants to play with him in
a way, I can see that. I can see where
Bronnie's like, you know, I'd rather go to another team.
Why do you want to come in with all that

(37:55):
pressure with the Lakers? Will you want to go to
a team that maybe he's not very good? There's not
a lot of press. Sure the media is not saying, oh,
you don't get rid of the coach and do this,
and you only expected to win twenty something games. Maybe
you know, get some games under your belt. Maybe that
wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Can I add a Roman numeral twenty three to kick
off next hour? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (38:14):
Roman numeral twentieth.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Yeah I did have one.

Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, yeah, Roman numeral twenty three, the most interesting player
on Wednesday night. So right there, I won't we'll debate that.
And actually you've talked about this guy, so we'll get
into that coming up next hour. All right, A couple
of other texts LJ right, start with the Lakers mismanagement.
How many new coaches have they had in the last
seven years. I don't think Genie bus can be the

(38:38):
owner they need. Best bet for the Lakers is to
have Bus sell get rid of Lebron next The AFC
East will be interesting next year. So okay, let's two
topics there. Let's start. Genie bus doesn't selling the Lakers, right,
I mean I don't. It's not talked about. There might be.
There's other ownership stakes, but I don't see them. I

(38:59):
don't see them getting ready to the majority the majority ownership. No.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
No, if anything any of the other five siblings or
four other siblings want to ahead and get rid of
their share of the teams, I could see Genie actually.

Speaker 3 (39:10):
Buying them out. So no, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
You know, she doesn't run the team nearly like her
father did, And I came up with a topic with that.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Matter of fact, a lot of the.

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Kids that inherit teams, whether it's football, basketball, whatever it was,
they don't even do nearly half the job that their
parents did or that their father did before them. I mean,
they do a lot worse jobs. You would think they're
more prepared. They've seen their father run the team, They've
seen how it's done, so when they come in they
have a plan that is not true at all.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
They are far worse than their fathers were.

Speaker 1 (39:43):
And see you're rolling there.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
So jim Or say to Robert Or saying, Robert Hers
they want to jim Or say, won a Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
Yeah, and I understand that.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
But the team was obviously more I thought, more popular
when Robert ran it.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
And look what's going on with the Dole, I mean
James just well.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
I think I don't think the Lamar Hunt Clark Hunt
passing of the team has been a disaster.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
That might not be one that's so bad.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, here at number four.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
I had another one just off the top of my mind,
had just slipped my mind.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
I can't remember who. There's Jim Rosa, Robert Ters, he
gd Bus, Jerry Buss, James and Charles dunt one.

Speaker 3 (40:19):
Yeah, another one that didn't write down.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
And Clark and Lamar Hunt. And the question is why
are the kids worse owners? And I think two of
these actually the kids have been better owners their dads
or moms were.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
But well we'll get to that morn. How about the Craft?

Speaker 3 (40:32):
How about Robert and uh and what's his face? Like
I for I forgot his name?

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Well, I mean, aren't they isn't Robert Craft still calling shots?

Speaker 2 (40:42):
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
I think it's the song.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
It's not Jonathan. Well, we'll dive into it all. Coming
up next, it's a busy night. Todd Furman's coming up
right around the corner, Right around the corner with Arnie Spaniel,
who is the most interesting person in Wednesday's NBA draft.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
We'll dive into it. Come up in a bit.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
As we coming to you live, you said I talked
about him earlier.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Yeah, not today. You've talked about him before.

Speaker 3 (41:06):
I don't even remember.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Well, that's fair enough. Come me live from the ti
rack dot com studios. Tirack dot com will help you
get there and unmatched a selection fast for shipping free
road hazard protection in over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire
rack dot com the way tire buying should be. And
at some point, Arnie wants to give the full recap
of his trip to Canada's to see My Fair Lady.

Speaker 4 (41:30):
I feel like less of a man because I went
to My Fair Lady? And are we really doing that list?
Later on today too?

Speaker 2 (41:37):
I thought that last week's list was a hit. Okay,
I thought, I don't know how you guys felt. Back
in the ti rack dot Com studios, Kyle Mary de Seger,
I thought Arnie's top five list was a hit, and
so I texted him and it was like trying to
text with someone that doesn't speak English. I was like, hey, Arnie,

(41:57):
I think we should do a list, and it was like, okay,
like what kind of list?

Speaker 1 (42:02):
I'm like, I don't know. I thought it was a
good idea.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
I wish I could share this text exchange where I
was like, go back to Roman numeral seven from last week.
I think we should do this weekly. And Arnie's idea
of a list, guys was worst ways to Die. So
that's coming up an hour. So we are three, so
we are going to do the five worst ways to die.
We're really going to do that. I mean I was thinking,

(42:24):
you know, maybe five greatest draft steals with the NBA Draft,
five greatest game sevens. But listen, I mean we're entering
a slow sports time, so five greatest ways to die
or five worst ways to die?

Speaker 7 (42:36):
Is I just think morbid.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
But it has to do it. I know that, Mary,
but it has to do it.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
I got a story from it that kind of plays
into it. You know, it's a sad story, but I
thought it'd be a good better be worth it.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Oh, it's worth it. Trust it, it's worth it.

Speaker 8 (42:52):
I like this.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
You have to clarify that a story about somebody dying
was a sad story.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
It's a sad story.

Speaker 6 (42:58):
I don't think there's ever been a happy story.

Speaker 7 (43:02):
Like to make a bit out of it. It's kind
of like.

Speaker 3 (43:05):
I'm gonna play the producer.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Really, what's right?

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Well, we'll see. We're work shopping it right now.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
Mary. So, I was thinking that we might have a
fun legacy sports debate. For instance, last week was the
five Greatest Sports TV Shows, and we talked about Whip.
It was great, right, and now all of a sudden
this week is it's five worst ways to Die.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
Well, we're gonna ask the people that are listening to
the show, the listeners, if they want to hear the
five worst ways to die?

Speaker 3 (43:29):
I mean, what was that?

Speaker 12 (43:31):
Like?

Speaker 7 (43:31):
Where did that come from? Like I just think it
was really just a one eighty.

Speaker 4 (43:34):
You know, should I tell her the story or no, Chris,
wait till later.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
Okay, let's get the story in now, because obviously we
we've got lost, We've got the peeps in LA two nts.
That's a good start because sometimes in that Tirack dot
Com studios it could be gossip time.

Speaker 1 (43:51):
Someone might just leave. We've got them engaged, Arnie.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
So you found the story of a man who had
maybe the greatest moment of his life, and then it
ended in the span of like five seconds.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
He this guy was at the Marina Bay, Singapore casino
and he had just won the four million dollar jackpot,
and because of all the bells and the whistles and
the excitement, he went in the cardiac arrest and died
right there before even side. They think, I don't even

(44:23):
know if he gets to have the four million dollars,
maybe his siblings won't even get.

Speaker 2 (44:26):
The money after that?

Speaker 4 (44:27):
Was he even get he just I mean he died
before he hit the four He got so excited with
the four million. So I'm like, hey, what are the
five worst ways to die? I thought that'd be Maybe
it wasn't such a great idea.

Speaker 2 (44:38):
So I was trying to are you sure this was
a real story? We didn't fall for like a fake?

Speaker 3 (44:44):
I don't think so.

Speaker 11 (44:45):
I've seen I'll look at that doesn't sound very confident.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
Yeah, I know, Well.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
Fakes are pretty good fake. I like it to be
honest with you, Well, are you starting to doubt the
five worst ways to.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
There's a bad way you could go out, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (45:01):
I just I didn't realize how common this is because
I simply did as most of my research starts.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
Guy dies after jackpot.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
We have a story from April where an Iowa man
passed away after winning two million dollars God's power tube. Mail.

Speaker 4 (45:19):
Come on, man, if you're gonna pass away, it's got
to be over three or four mail. What's a measly
two mil after taxes? What's that like a mill point deal?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
Come on down the story.

Speaker 2 (45:29):
Now we're gauging whether or not you're allowed to die
after winning a certain amount of money. There is a
story about a man who fell down his stairs right
before he found out he won a huge piece of
a lottery jackpot. Oh ten point five million dollars he
had won this is twenty twenty two, but he died

(45:50):
before finding out he'd actually won it. He fell down
the stairs and broke his neck at a New Year's
Eve party.

Speaker 6 (45:56):
Oh, I just found what you were talking about. But
it's only two videos and they're like thirty seconds. But
so he might not be lying twenty fifty but I
can't I can't watch that they're like, very like the
most recent one was eleven hours ago.

Speaker 3 (46:12):
Wow, so yes, I think it did happen again.

Speaker 7 (46:14):
There you're the first time.

Speaker 4 (46:16):
Oh my god, my goodness, four million dollars in unfortunately
out heart attack.

Speaker 6 (46:20):
Now for the first time, you're right about something like
a graduate.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Thank you, thank you, proud of you, thank you.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
Proud of you.

Speaker 2 (46:30):
Well, we'll get more in depth a little bit later
on in the program, but there you go.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
All right, bad ways for me to croak, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (46:38):
You know what it's It's kind of funny because you know,
you talk about the first thing you would do if
you won that kind of money. Yeah, the last thing
you want to do is like die. I actually, what's
what's the one thing you would why?

Speaker 4 (46:52):
I'd like to live long enough to celebrate it and
enjoy it. Yes, exactly. People forget about that. You know,
I wish I won ten million dollars. PuF There you go,
ten million dollars.

Speaker 2 (47:03):
There you go. More on that, graduations.

Speaker 1 (47:08):
This is the Julian rights. It's true.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
For the first time a person is experiencing something so
great that they lose control of their blood pressure due
to the excitement of winning. It's documented on a few occasions.
I think that's what would happen to me if the
Raiders ever won the Super Bowl or if Oklahoma won
a National championships.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
You see, now you're stealing my stuff. We're gonna have
to move on. That was on Ways to Die, So
I did do. I went to my fair lady.

Speaker 2 (47:34):
First of all, Okay, let me talk about the most
interesting guy in the NBA draft, go ahead.

Speaker 7 (47:40):
To talk about death.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
I just thought, I just want to say this. I
knew it was a musical, but there's way too much.

Speaker 2 (47:46):
Singing going on in that musical.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
I know no, but like even when I saw Grease
on TV, they did a lot of talking.

Speaker 3 (47:53):
There was not a lot of time they sing about everything.
It's like.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
There were these three guys, you know, singing about beer.

Speaker 3 (48:01):
Gorius, beer beer. We can't drink it up beer beer.

Speaker 4 (48:05):
And then the guy in front of me watching this
held up his beer and started drinking. He was so
into me, like yeah, beer, Yeah. They're singing everything, And
I didn't have the point. I didn't get to have
to jokes. They were telling it like when right the
place is like cracking ah ha, and I'm just sitting there,
go what what's so funny? What the hell did they

(48:26):
say out there that that made this thing so funny?
And I just you look, I give it a two
out of ten. What I give it a two out
of ten? I don't think I've ever got three hours.
It's just way too much for my attention, spam. I
did think of this though. Why can these actors memorize
all these songs and all these lines? But a quarterback

(48:49):
can't memorize like twenty plays. He has to write it
down on both arms on a wristband out there. That's
what I didn't understand. But how do you remember all
this stuff? It was crazy? But I give it a
two out of ten.

Speaker 11 (49:00):
Head.

Speaker 4 (49:00):
I think I'd rather watch like the bad NFL game,
like finished nine to six with ten turnovers in less
than one hundred yards total offenses.

Speaker 6 (49:11):
And a play is more predictable. Yeah, music is more practable,
So that's the thing. But with the game, it's not
like I did a musical in high school and we
we learned like twenty different songs and a bunch of lines.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
No, I don't do it.

Speaker 6 (49:25):
It's so but it's like really predictable, the same thing
over and over and over I don't.

Speaker 4 (49:29):
I don't do plays and I've never got but why
you go? My mother in law dragged me to it.
I got you know, Like, what am I going to say? No?

Speaker 3 (49:36):
So she could rite me out of the whale?

Speaker 2 (49:37):
Get out of here? Yeah, light out of the wheel.
Listens to the show. You're done out of it? I know,
I know.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
That's why I'm think good.

Speaker 2 (49:44):
So I want to know show. I want to know
how big spinder did you go? Because there's tickets for
as cheap as forty five dollars but as expensive as
one sixty three.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
For my fair Lady. Yeah, no, we were the like
a buck fifty right. My mother in law pays for
the tickets.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
Oh so you have no idea. I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (50:04):
She pays. We were front and center, I mean not
the first row.

Speaker 1 (50:07):
But so she spent one hundred and sixty three.

Speaker 3 (50:11):
She's a member. What is wrong with you?

Speaker 4 (50:13):
She's she goes like every week to this. She's gonna
she's going to My Fair Lady again. She fell asleep
during it, but it was it was eight o'clock at night,
so it doesn't finish till eleven.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
I had my hair.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
I wish I had a pillow with me in a blanket.

Speaker 4 (50:28):
I could have put over me, but it went on
way too long. I'm not a play guy. I'm not
the hoity toity type. I gotta tell you I'm not.
That's not my crowd out there. That's not my peeps
out there. You know, who are your peeps, our listeners,
that's my peeps.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
You call them all morons and idiots.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
I mean, that's right.

Speaker 3 (50:46):
In love though, in love, that's what it is.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
So I well, congratulations.

Speaker 2 (50:53):
I mean, were you begging for like a Jason Martin
or and Aaron Torres to suddenly not be able to
make the show on Saturday night so you'd have an excuse?
Or I was Was this a situation where even if
the Great Scott Shapiro called you, you wouldn't be able
to take the shop.

Speaker 3 (51:07):
I wouldn't be able to take a shift. I was hoping.
I was hoping.

Speaker 4 (51:11):
My mother in law only bought two tickets and accidentally
forgot to get the third. I was just gonna leave
and come back and pick them up. No such luck there.
I was hoping they weren't gonna let me into the
place because I was wearing shorts.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
No such luck there. Everybody was wearing shorts.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
I was hoping they weren't going to let me in
because I wasn't wearing a coward shirt.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
No such luck. They were to let me in without
a shirt on.

Speaker 4 (51:32):
So it it really didn't mean. There was nothing you
could have stop me from seeing that play. It was
just horrible.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
So there wasn't a dress code or anything that could
get you out of it.

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Nothing.

Speaker 4 (51:40):
Everybody else was dressed up except for me. I was
walking around, you know, with my straw hat, T shirt
and shorts.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
That's what I had.

Speaker 11 (51:47):
I like that you tried self sabotage and still you in.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
They still let me. I didn't. I really didn't want
to go in. I was almost crying. I'm serious, as I.

Speaker 4 (51:57):
Was tweeting, that's a sight. The first thing I asked
the lady, and the lady was like, go how long
is this the bacle going to be?

Speaker 2 (52:03):
Please tell me?

Speaker 3 (52:04):
I just like, how far are you?

Speaker 8 (52:06):
Was this?

Speaker 3 (52:07):
It was three hours long?

Speaker 2 (52:08):
It's not bad?

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Well they had they had a ten minute intermission for
booze You're going on?

Speaker 2 (52:13):
But I would say, okay, you did have a couple
of options here, just real quick now, I one of
my tried and true tricks has been the something isn't
sitting well with me? Have you this one? And then
you leave and you can kind of walk around and
freet your own thing.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
There were a couple of seats, a couple of rows
at the top. I told Beth I was going to say.

Speaker 3 (52:32):
Now you sit in front of us so we could
keep an eye on you.

Speaker 4 (52:36):
I don't know you're going to keep an eye on me.
You fell asleep anyway, ten minutes into the thing.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
But why when they were asleep, I would but they'd
wake up every.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
When everybody's starting to clap. Move around them.

Speaker 4 (52:46):
Yeah, and everybody would start to clap every ten minutes
or so you have to, and they would wake up
from the from the clapping.

Speaker 7 (52:51):
Yeah, come back, you go. See you're an amateur at this.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
And then the second thing is just to get absolutely
totally destroyed. I mean, think about were you driving or
anything could you have?

Speaker 4 (53:02):
Just to be honest with you, I'm not allowed to
drive my wife's car. I never get to drive it
because I'll just say it the way it is, because
she says I'm too fat, because she has special lumbar
support on the driver's side and she doesn't want me
to sit it, sit in it and ruin it, so
she doesn't let me drive her car.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
We're learning a lot about you tonight, are I go?

Speaker 4 (53:25):
I'm not gonna break the lumbar support? What is wrong
with you? No, don't drive my car. I love the
way it is right.

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Now, don't touch it, so I'm not allowed to driver.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
You get you can preset her settings.

Speaker 4 (53:39):
No, it's not about it's about she thinks I'm going
to crush the lumbar support thing.

Speaker 7 (53:46):
A day in your life, Arnie sounds like a sitcom.

Speaker 6 (53:49):
I wish there ice cream and cookies and cake, and I.

Speaker 4 (53:54):
Just want you to know just the fact that it
brings it up, not to make a complete left turn.
I told you this playing There was a sitcom written
about me and another girl I used to work with.
They wrote to one full season and another episode of
season two, and it's trying to be sold for the
last couple of years.

Speaker 3 (54:11):
It's come very close. It's not too far away.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
So it still might happen.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, absolutely, And it's written about me.
The guy's name is Archie instead of Arnie. Archie, I forget.
His last name is close to what my last name.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
Do you get any cash off this or.

Speaker 3 (54:26):
No, but of the man that the hired me as
a consultant or something like that.

Speaker 7 (54:30):
You won't get any royalties.

Speaker 3 (54:31):
No, I may who knows, who knows?

Speaker 2 (54:33):
No, you see Leidagia. Frank writes. If there was a
musical based on Arnie's life, it would be called We
Almost Did It for all of his for how all
of his teams come short, and all the songs would
be from musical artists who never quite hit number one
on the charts.

Speaker 3 (54:47):
Yeah, I love one hit, Yeah, I do love the
one hit Wonders Though.

Speaker 2 (54:53):
Well, I'm glad you got back safely. Everything was good.
You guys had a good time.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
I had a good time. I slept.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
I do get a little stressed when I go to
Canada because I always get into arguments with the people there,
because you know, my mother in law has a house
right on Lake Erie, and it's a private beach because
you own the la you owned up to the water's edge,
and everybody always sits in front of the house and
we have to help. There's a private beach. You can't
be here, They go, No, you're down on the sand,

(55:20):
And actually they do. It's crazy, so you know you
have to. You know, we get like all this big
area to sit around for like two of us, and
then they have to put like one hundred and fifty
two hundred people.

Speaker 3 (55:31):
In the area of like a NBA basketball court. It's
pretty it's very stressful versus.

Speaker 2 (55:36):
Well, I'm glad you got. I'm glad you got to
enjoy my fair lady.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
No you're not. I'm never gonna see it again, and
be honest with you.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
But you made your mother in law happy.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
That's the only thing that I would go see, like
a real musical like Greece or something.

Speaker 2 (55:50):
But Greece is going to pop up or my favorite play.

Speaker 3 (55:54):
Really Okay, so there you go.

Speaker 1 (55:56):
Well done, Arnie.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
All Right, when we come back to the Track dot
Com studio, the draft is this week. I've got a
guy that is so intriguing. We'll throw it in front
of Todd Furman next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, it's already in plank. Right here on Fox
Sports Radio. We're coming to you live from the ti
rack dot Com studios, Kyle and Mary running the show

(56:18):
to Sega's got an update coming up in about ten minutes.
Right now, though we say hello to our buddy Todd
Furman the Bet the Board podcast and Todd first of
all NBA Draft this week. I mean, the excitement is
just off the charts for that Wednesday night first round.
But is there any value that you're seeing right now
in some of the some of the numbers leading into

(56:39):
Wednesday and Thursday?

Speaker 12 (56:40):
If you ask me to pick out five of the
players that will most likely go in the top ten
on a street and a blind case test of sorts,
I'm not sure I'd be able to execute that for you, Accordingly, Plank,
And when you look at some of the uncertainty around
the number one pick with Alexander Sar refusing to work
out for the Atlanta Hawks, you have Donovan Klingon's odds
that have ping ponged all over about him going to

(57:02):
be the number one pick. This may be the most
watered down draft class that will see in a long time,
and it's only fitting that the Atlanta Hawks are sitting
with the first overall pick in the draft.

Speaker 3 (57:11):
Todder, Are people still betting Brandy to be number one?
Because I saw that the still money coming in on
him being the number one pick?

Speaker 12 (57:17):
You know, I mean, look Arnie. People love to light
their money on fire, and maybe this is their definition
of a sports betting lottery ticket. But I think the
three of us, as we have this conversation on a
Sunday night, have the same odds of going number one
overall as Ronnie James does. So that's one of the
more ridiculous storylines that's out there. But people think, oh, well,
I can put up my five bucks, I can take

(57:38):
two hundred and one and think I have a shot.
I'm here to tell you that that ain't going to happen.
You're better off looking in the Heisman Trophy market to
try and find a long shot in that price range
that can actually accomplish something on the field and work
his way into the conversation.

Speaker 2 (57:51):
Yeah, I was gonna say it's it's second round or bust,
and I don't even know if that's gonna happen. But
I there's one guy that I'm in striegud By. There
is one guy that I'm definitely watching to see, Okay,
what's going to happen with him. For the longest time,
I was under the understanding from everyone that knows more
about basketball than I do that there was no way

(58:12):
this guy could play in the NBA. No way. Now,
all of a sudden, I'm pulling up the Ringers who
Drafts preview and they've got Zach edy as a lottery
pick right now, going twelve overall in the first round.
You think there's a chance his game could translate to
the NBA.

Speaker 12 (58:28):
I mean, you look at some of the numbers that
are out there. He's roughly a one to five favorite
to be picked inside the top twenty. Those numbers change
a little bit if you want to get him inside
the top ten. I don't think he's a fit in
the modern NBA, to be quite honest. And it's no
knock on Zach e. But you look at the way
bigs like Victor Wembernon. Of course he's a unicorn, can
stretch the floor and force defenses to adjust accordingly. I mean,

(58:51):
Zach Edy' is an old school player that would have
been perfect in the NBA in the early nineties in
the late eighties, maybe a little bit more talented on
the offensive end than someone like a Marquie who was
able to hone his craft as a defensive presence in Utah.
But for me to think that he's going to have
a major impact in the NBA, the way the game
is played with speed, athleticism and length, I just don't
see it, and I'm very curious to see if he

(59:13):
even logs regular minutes for Team Canada when the Olympics
crank up in Paris in just a few short weeks.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
Todd, let's talk about my Edmundson. Euler's my friend.

Speaker 4 (59:22):
First of all, I can't believe that it's actually a
pickup game, even though it's in Florida.

Speaker 3 (59:27):
Is that what I'm seeing here? Or what that is?

Speaker 12 (59:30):
The current market price and a far cry, arny from
where we saw the number close in Game five when
the Florida Panthers had a chance to close out the
Oilers in Sunrise, they were about a dollar sixty favorite.
But Edmonton goes home, they win in dominant fashion in
Game six, and they have the Panthers reelings. So you
see the betting market respond, what I think is interesting
and you can understand why the general betting public wants

(59:50):
to back the storyline that Edmonton is taking public support
right now. We'll see how that changes, if it does
at all, leading up to puck drop for Game seven,
but it is no doubt by low opportunity on the
Florida Panthers. If he thinks they can evade history and
close things out, they've made it significantly more difficult on themselves.
And it look through the first three games. And of
course the storyline today that the Panther said was much

(01:00:11):
ado about nothing. Certabbrowski wasn't at practice. They say it
was more to keep the money regular res schedule. But
you begin to wonder if he's dealing with some makes
and pains like most of these guys are, and it
might explain a slight different performance that we've seen over
the last couple of games. If Bob isn't close tow
one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (01:00:27):
Well I'm in. I'm in tomorrow night. I guess on
the East coast tonight to watch that game.

Speaker 3 (01:00:33):
But I scoring the winning goal.

Speaker 2 (01:00:36):
By the way, I was gonna ask how big is
the world of individual player props in hockey? I mean,
it's big in basketball. We've seen it blow up in football.
I don't know, Todd how much you care about the
player props, But is it a big deal in hockey too.

Speaker 12 (01:00:50):
It's grown in popularity and does so during the playoffs,
especially when you have some of the marquee talents. The
most popular markets for those folks that typically don't bet
hockey are picking players that you will be what they
call an anytime goal scorer. So you see short odds
on players like a Zach Hyman and Connor McDavid, Leon
Dry Siddle some of the household names that are out
there over under shots on goal points, et cetera. My

(01:01:12):
biggest problem that I have right now with the way
that hockey props are booked. A lot of these sportsbooks
don't give you an opportunity to go under, so they
want to try and bait you into betting things to happen.
And in Game seven that we think is going to
be played pretty tight with teams, you know, looking to
do everything they can to avoid making that costly mistake
and finding themselves behind the eight ball, I wouldn't really
make a strong compelling case to go over on any

(01:01:34):
of the player props. I'm not running to take short
odds and any players to be anytime goal scorers. If anything,
I'd be looking at both the goalie props and probably
making a case to go under on Stewart Skinner and
Sergey Vibrovski's workload. Under the total inside of sixty minutes.
I feel it'll be a very low event game, and
we could talk about a scenario where it's the first
team to three that gets out of Sunrise with their name.

(01:01:54):
Engraves on the Stanley CuPy Tod.

Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
I'm curious betting wise, you know, numbers or maybe dollar
you know, I don't need the exact number, but more
or wes I mean, first of all, people obviously betting
on the NBA Finals, the NHL Stanley Cup.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
What about soccer? What about the USA Bolivia game?

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
And will there'll be more or less money on USA
as they go forward or more money spent on like
hockey and basketball and stuff like that.

Speaker 12 (01:02:19):
You'll get more money bet on Team USA matches as
they go deeper in the tournament. Today you were looking
at them going off right around a four and a
half dollars favorite. So it doesn't attract a ton other
than people looking to try and tie them into parlays.
Maybe they want to dabble a little bit minus a
goal and a half, which can be a big margin
in soccer, even when you play the ninth rading team
in call May Bowl Team US. They did in Bolivia.

(01:02:41):
But books are no doubt going to find themselves rooting
against the Red, White and Blue. And when you look
at the potential road to get out of the group
with Uruguay being the third game after a game coming
up in a few days of Panama, that game should
attract more betting handle. But I think a potential quarterfinal
matchup against the Brazil or Columbia with no doubt do
big time number relatively speaking, just given the limited options

(01:03:03):
that people have as you get deeper into the summer,
and the same kind of thing when you look at
the EuroCup unfolding, you know, people don't really gravitate towards
betting a match like we saw earlier to day with
Scotland and Hungary. But when we talk about the perennial powers,
the Germanys, the Frances, the England of the world, people
are always going to try and make a compelling case
to bet the favor. So they'll tie them into the Dodgers,
the Yankees and mix things up to try and keep

(01:03:24):
their money in action from sunrise to sunset whenever possible.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
All right, Todd, I thought we were going to get
all kinds of weather issues throughout the day with NASCAR,
and of course, we battled it. But how about my
guy Christopher Bell. That's a good win for him, there's
no doubt.

Speaker 12 (01:03:41):
And you saw his dirt background really come to pay
dividends when they restarted on those wet weather tires, constantly
looking for a little bit of moisture in the track.
He was dynamic in terms of his restarts and was
able to knife his way through the field. I believe
he started ninth after the two and a half hour
rain delay. But you know, I think NASCAR learned a
little bit. They didn't love the backlash that came out

(01:04:01):
of the coch six hundred when they stopped that race prematurely,
and knowing that they had a little bit of daylight
and that some of that poor weather was clearing out
of loud New Hampshire, that they were able to get
out there, and I think the race ended up finishing
a little bit better than we anticipated in terms of
what those tires were going to be able to do.
And credit to Christopher Bell. His third win on the
season now has him tied amongst the leaders, and you

(01:04:23):
begin to see that pedigree starting to rise to the
top for the guy who will most likely become the
flagship driver for Joe Gibbs racing in the next handful
of years, Todd, I know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:33):
Maybe there's a little bit of a stretch.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
Just curious though, when the Lakers do introduce JJ Reddick tomorrow,
will there be people that will actually run to the
window to be like over under on the Lakers or
to win a championship just based on the way Reddick
handles the press conference.

Speaker 3 (01:04:48):
Or No, that's just too much of a stretch.

Speaker 2 (01:04:50):
You know, odd.

Speaker 12 (01:04:51):
Makers won't respond to the coaching higher, but aren't any
time that you see changes, there are always going to
be people that want to try and look towards the narrative,
and whether it's because as they've listened to Lebron and
JJ interact on the podcast, or for a variety of
other reasons. The Lakers are a popular team, and when
they start to pick up a little bit of steam,
whether it's early in the regular season or late, you'll

(01:05:12):
see their numbers typically shorter. But I don't think you're
going to see any substantial change by any stretch of
the imagination. No matter how much of the media tries
to sell JJ Reddick being the savior to chake the
Lakers out of a little bit of anonymity. Back to
the forefront with their thirty seventh coaching higher what it
feels like over the last six.

Speaker 2 (01:05:29):
Years thirty seven Ton, Wow, Todd, enjoy the week, buddy.

Speaker 1 (01:05:34):
We always appreciate your perspective.

Speaker 12 (01:05:36):
I always a pleasure. Guys, have a great rest of
the week. Befort to catch it up next week.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
Yeah, maybe even on Friday night. We're sitting in for
Jason Friday night. Might be kind of right to talk
to our man, Todd Furman. All right, when we come
back to the tyrack dot com studios. Your tweets have
been fantastic, But first let's get caught up on everything
in the world of sports.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
What's trending with Steve to say?

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
Give the Saga Friday night off? Or is he going
to be here?

Speaker 11 (01:05:58):
You have no such power?

Speaker 3 (01:06:00):
Yea happy Are you working Friday night or not?

Speaker 11 (01:06:02):
Actually they're working me more July fourth week, so they
took me off for Friday, and then I found out
you guys were working this Friday.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
There you go.

Speaker 11 (01:06:10):
Sorry, it was not my own issue.

Speaker 4 (01:06:12):
Yes.

Speaker 11 (01:06:12):
By the way, Todd reference US men's soccer. If if
they win their group at Copa America, they're going to
Vegas for the quarter final next month. If they finished
second in the group, yeah, they'll probably have to play
Brazil in the quarterfinal in Glendale, Arizona. US finishes up
group play against Uruguay July the first at Arrowhead Stadium,
Kansas City. The US next game is in Atlanta on

(01:06:35):
Thursday against Panama. Panama lost its opener in Miami tonight
three to one to Uruguay, a lot of late scoring
in that one attendance thirty three thousand and for the
US attendance forty eight thousand in Arlington. Today, Americans beat
Bolivia too nothing in the opener forum in Copa America. Also,
Todd had mentioned the hockey game seven is Monday to

(01:06:56):
decide the Stanley Cup Edmonton at Florida. Panthers have lost
three straight. The Panthers are returning here to the Stanley
Cup final after losing it last year to Vegas. The
last team to lose the Cup final in back to
back seasons was Boston in nineteen seventy seven and seventy eight,
both to Montreal. What a story the Oilers. They began

(01:07:17):
this season two to nine plus an overtime loss. The
five points in the standings at the time fewest through
twelve games in NHL history by a team that eventually
went on to play in the final. And their penalty
kill has just been phenomenal over these last sixteen playoff games. Well,
in the final, they've killed off eighteen in the last nineteen.

(01:07:37):
But you go back even further, Edmonton has killed forty
six of its last forty seven penalties while scoring three
shorthanded goals, meaning the Oilers have scored more often than
the opponents when Edmonton doesn't have as many men on
the ice the last sixteen playoff games. It's really amazing
what has happened to this team. Edmonton has not won

(01:07:58):
a Cup since nineteen ninety. Is Monday night the night
for them. We shall see no WNBA games tomorrow. There
were four today, including Chicago edging Indiana eighty eight eighty seven.
Angel reached twenty five points, sixteen rebounds. Caitlin clarke in
Defeats seventeen points, thirteen assists. Connecticut was thirteen and two,

(01:08:19):
but it lost to Seattle seventy two sixty one. New
York Sabrina Yanescu with twenty six points eleven assists her
Liberty won at Atlanta ninety six seventy five. Tuesday, New York,
with a fifteen and three record, will host Minnesota thirteen
and three. And it was Washington over Dallas again ninety
two eighty four. Dallas just lost badly yesterday at Washington.

(01:08:40):
They've lost eleven in a row, three and thirteen overall,
and you mentioned it. The Lakers will officially introduced JJ
Reddick as head coach tomorrow. Scotti Scheffler won the Travelers
in a playoff in Connecticut, his sixth victory this season.
Amy Yang took the women's PGA by three strokes. Here
in the spot on South Korea's Olympic golf team for
the third time. Christopher Bell won the NASCAR Race at

(01:09:02):
New Hampshire. Chase Briscoe finished second. Bell won Yesterday's Infinity
Race there. Baseball tonight, the Mets were five two winners
at the Cubs Metso. Mets closer Edwin Diaz is the
bigger story, thrown out before he even threw a pitch
to start the bottom of the ninth due to a
foreign substance on his hand. He is facing a ten
game suspension tomorrow. By the way, the Cubs unveiled a

(01:09:25):
statue of Ryan Sandberg outside Wrigley Fields today. That was
very very much well deserved. And one final thing just
in Arnie's honor for my fair lady. By the way,
it was Artie, if I may quote him exactly from
the show tonight, three hours. It's just way too long

(01:09:46):
for my attention, Spin, says the man who hosts a
three hour show.

Speaker 4 (01:09:52):
But I get commercials, though, I get commercials, like I
only have to talk like thirty eight minutes in. Yeah,
they had intermission was like ten minutes long, though I
needed more time.

Speaker 3 (01:10:04):
I have no time to get something to eat.

Speaker 1 (01:10:06):
Wait, so their intermission was only ten minutes long.

Speaker 11 (01:10:09):
I can't believe that. I don't think you're right on that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:11):
Kids. No, it's shorter than the NFL.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
It's like it's like ten minutes longer. Then somebody goes, uh,
it's about they do ten minutes before it starts, you
hear a bell going ding.

Speaker 11 (01:10:22):
Yeah, or dim the lights or something.

Speaker 8 (01:10:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
I'm like, oh, that's two minute warning, let's go, let's go.

Speaker 11 (01:10:27):
Lines can be ten minutes long. I think it was
longer than that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:30):
No, No, that's it.

Speaker 3 (01:10:31):
Ten minutes to half time.

Speaker 2 (01:10:32):
Hold on, we're calling Uh, we're gonna call a check
on this one because I know where it was.

Speaker 11 (01:10:36):
Believe Shenanigan's is the word.

Speaker 1 (01:10:38):
I don't think.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Let's see, my fair lady at the Was it at
the Shaw Festival Theater? Yes?

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
Yes, Niagara on the Lake, that's where it was, Harry Ritzy.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Very fancy. Yeah, it looks very fancy, looks very fancy.
I don't think it's as easy to find. Hey, how
long is the intermission on here? But I'm gonna do
my best over the next hour and thirty minutes. We'll
find it.

Speaker 3 (01:11:00):
But it was ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
That's about it, all right, Thanks Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:11:04):
Now, Steve's going to be back in about two minutes
from now to get you caught up on everything, including
including the men's College World Series. Those two crazy fan
bases are gonna absolutely, absolutely put on a show in
the stands tomorrow between Tennessee and Texas, A and M
and Arnie. I'm a little bit disappointed in the Roman

(01:11:25):
numeral rundown of the twenty two Roman numerals you had.
Not only did you not have anything about the NFL
NBA draft, that's correct, but.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
You didn't have anything about the Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (01:11:35):
Fall out this week.

Speaker 4 (01:11:38):
I mean I did well, that was earlier, So I
didn't think you'd want to go ahead and get into that,
to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:11:42):
Well, the only reason I do. The only reason I
do is because Julian Edelman on I believe it was Friday,
said this. I'm a big Aaron Rodgers fan.

Speaker 5 (01:11:52):
But if I was in that locker room and Aaron
Rodgers wasn't there for three days on the mandatory mini.

Speaker 3 (01:11:58):
Camps, having played four snaps last.

Speaker 5 (01:12:00):
Having played four snaps off of an injury, when we
have two new receivers, we got a bunch of new
linemen that we added to the team with a CBA
that doesn't allow us to practice a lot. I guarantee
there's four or five guys, six, seven, eight, nine guys
in that locker room sitting there like where's he at?

Speaker 1 (01:12:16):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:12:17):
If they start four and O, no one's gonna care,
That's right. But this the NFL, I think it's a
bad look for your leader, for whatever reason, to go
and miss an unexcused absence.

Speaker 2 (01:12:27):
I mean, I was with Tom.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
Brady in his twentieth fifth year, twenty third year, and
he started missing OTAs here and there.

Speaker 1 (01:12:35):
But he was still there, never missed.

Speaker 5 (01:12:36):
A mandatory mini camp, and you know, I just thought
it was a bad look.

Speaker 2 (01:12:39):
So it went, at least in hearing Julian Edelman say that,
it went from being something where I looked at and thought, oh,
it's not that big of a deal. And then I
hear a guy that's got some rings, he's won some titles,
knows what it looks like when he brings that up.
And the only reason I brought it up kind of
changed my opinion a little bit on this. Aren't he no?

Speaker 4 (01:13:00):
I mean, I always thought it was a big deal.
I'm like, you know, your leader's supposed to be there.
I don't know why they just decided to have it
on that weekend. If they knew that he wasn't gonna
be there, they I think they could have moved it
to the earlier weekend or.

Speaker 3 (01:13:11):
Maybe a later weekend. But that's not even the point.

Speaker 2 (01:13:13):
Right now.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
You see where his priorities are, and I think it's
just so wrong so many different ways.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Edelman's right.

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
There's a probably a lot of guys in the locker
going what the hell is going on? And they will
start off falling two Those are their first two games
in San franciscoing against the Titans. Better win at least
the next two against the pageots of the Broncos, or
they're gonna be looking at a long season from there
on out. I just don't think that that could have
a team. And yeah, Aaron Rodgers doing whatever Aaron Rodgers
wants to do. Could you imagine the fight you and

(01:13:41):
I were starting a job and like, Okay, you know,
we're gonna go to a party the day before the
game to introduce us. And you said, no, no, I'm
gonna I'm gonna go to a party and do drugs first,
and then I'll just meet you at the You know,
it just it just the whole thing just is wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:13:56):
I'm gonna go to a retreat.

Speaker 4 (01:13:58):
It's just it's just not right. He should have been
there with his teammates. That's what he should have done.

Speaker 2 (01:14:02):
Do you have any problem with Travis Kelcey showing up
on stage at Taylor Swift's concert today.

Speaker 1 (01:14:06):
I figured that would be something that would trigger you.

Speaker 3 (01:14:08):
It did.

Speaker 4 (01:14:09):
It does trigger me a little bit. Come on, sit
in the background. Now you're trying to get the attention.
I mean, come on, they wanted they want Taylor Swift,
ninety nine percent of the people at that concert don't
know who the hell you are.

Speaker 3 (01:14:19):
They probably fig you're a security guard.

Speaker 2 (01:14:21):
So I don't know. Man, the way that crowd reacted,
I kind of think they know.

Speaker 4 (01:14:24):
They just reacted because Taylor's back. They're raising her head. God, cheer,
cheer because otherwise everybody go, who the hell's that idiot?

Speaker 3 (01:14:31):
Well, we cheered, cheer.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
When we come back to the direct dot Com studio,
so let's give you a full run of all the
news of the day and what's coming up in a
busy week ahead right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:14:44):
Right, it's the.

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
It's the show known as Arnie and Plank on Fox
Sports Radio. And no one is more important to this
program than Steve de Sager, who joins us to keep
us updated on everything in the world of sports, where
everything is now a final, right Steve.

Speaker 11 (01:15:00):
Including that Mets victory five to two at the Cubs,
But that won't be the headline from the game tomorrow
because these are the New York Mets that last year,
I mean just last season, had a couple of pitchers
fail substance checks and get kicked out. And take it
on us, or you're guilty and the closer, Edwin Diaz,

(01:15:21):
was tossed Tonight's facing a ten game suspension tomorrow. Edwin
Diaz was the reliever in the National League a couple
of years ago, had an ERA of one point three
to one. I looked it up. About sixty innings, pitched,
almost one hundred and twenty strikeouts that year, and then
remember World Baseball Classic. He got injured last spring and
never pitched for the Mets last year and hasn't been

(01:15:43):
good this year. Eer a four point seven. Oh, so
you can draw your own conclusions that he's trying something.
He said it was just rosin and sweat and put
my hand in the time.

Speaker 3 (01:15:54):
I agree with him.

Speaker 11 (01:15:55):
Clearly the hand was not a normal color and something
was amuck. He's gonna be in the news again tomorrow.
Safe to say, we had a really odd finish to
a ballgame last night, but we did. Oh you know,
I got to mention while we're talking Mets pitchers who've
been kicked out for having substance on their hand. Max
Scherzer was back in the news.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
That's true.

Speaker 11 (01:16:17):
Ye now in a Texas Rangers uniform and they've won
four straight. Be Kansas City for nothing. Sures Aer with
his season debut, retired the first thirteen batters, five innings
of work and got the win. Now to the Tampa
Bay excuse me, Washington closer because they got two runs.

Speaker 2 (01:16:33):
Top of the night.

Speaker 11 (01:16:34):
Washington Nationals won two to one at Colorado. They have
a good closer, Kyle Finnegan with his twenty second save.
But this is the guy who blew last night's game
at Colorado. And the way he lost the game was
bases were loaded. He had an two count and then
it goes to three and two bottom of the ninth
bases loaded.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
Time violation, clock violation on Finnegan.

Speaker 11 (01:17:00):
That's the game without throwing ball four. He was that
hat with ball four and had to walk off.

Speaker 3 (01:17:07):
Wow.

Speaker 11 (01:17:08):
Another injury for the Yankees Giuencarlos Stanton this year. It's
a strained hamstring goes on the il could miss a month.
The Apes saw that happen. Yeah, who saw that coming.
They've acquired J. D. Davis from Oakland in New York.
Atlanta beat the Yankees three to one. Today. Houston won
it's fifth straight. Philadelphia and Cleveland won again. Those teams
are having great years. In fact, the Phillies at home

(01:17:29):
are thirty one and twelve after they beat Arizona four
to one.

Speaker 4 (01:17:33):
Have you seen the race for the wild card in
the National League? You mean everybody eighteen separated by three
games or something.

Speaker 3 (01:17:41):
That's crazy.

Speaker 11 (01:17:42):
So we're getting really close to the halfway point here,
Guys like Aaron Judge with another home run yesterday is
up to what twenty eight? This is ridiculous by these
crate stat Last night was Shoeo Tani hitting another long
bowl in the stat cast era this last decade that
they've been able to tell you how many did the
home run go or how many miles an hour off

(01:18:02):
the bat? Yeah, in Dodger Stadium the last ten years,
there is no batter that has had more than one
homer go four hundred and fifty feet until Otani doing
it three times this week. Geez, nobody in a decade
and then three times this week?

Speaker 3 (01:18:19):
Is he used an aluminum bat or what you know?

Speaker 11 (01:18:21):
I thought about that when there was a four hundred
foot shot in the Tennessee game today. Stanley Cup Game
seven is Monday, And how about this a rarity that
we have game seven in a final in the four
major sports. It's been about five years wow, since the
twenty nineteen World Series. In fact, it's been the longest
such drought in our lifetimes. If you add up NHL,

(01:18:44):
NBA MLB finals, that's thirteen straight finals without a game seven. Wow,
longest stretch since the NBA was founded in the nineteen forties.
Previous record was nine straight. But we're getting a game
seven in the final tomorrow and the hockey season will end.
And a real rarity. A team that was down three
games to none in the final has to even force

(01:19:05):
a game seven. Has made some news. Yeah, it's the
Oilers of twenty twenty four evening things up three games apiece.
The Knicks of nineteen fifty one were down three to
zero and forced a game seven and lost it, and
twice in hockey in the nineteen forties, it happened once
with a team that the forty two Maple Leafs coming
back to win for in a row, winning game seven.

(01:19:27):
As for a Canadian team, and they are well aware
of this north of the border, a Canadian team has
not won the Stanley Cup since nineteen ninety three, zero
to six in the final, since Montreal beat La in
nineteen ninety So you're.

Speaker 4 (01:19:39):
Saying like Canadian fans. Leaf fans are all pulling Freedminton then, right.

Speaker 11 (01:19:43):
I don't know about all, but I know Canadian fans
in general have to be pulling for a Canadian team,
you would think, which is an odd thing because you know,
when I covered the NHL, the whole league was sixty
percent Canadian. So you're gonna get Canadian Cup winners left
and right. And for you know, Florida fans to beat
USA during this series, well there you have non USA

(01:20:05):
stars winning the Cup for them. Perhaps it's just it
seems kind of odd. Last note, the great year that
Scottie Schefferler is having. He won the Travelers in a
playoff today. This is six victories for him this season.
First time anyone has won six times on the PGA
Tour before July since Arnold Palmer in nineteen sixty two. Wow,
they make a little more money in golf these days.

(01:20:27):
His earnings already at twenty seven million dollars this year
and that's just on the course.

Speaker 1 (01:20:34):
That's wild, that is wild, awesome stuff. Thanks Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:20:39):
All Right, more from the SEGA coming up here in

Speaker 3 (01:21:18):
You know, I lost five pounds on vacation, by the way.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
Okay, you were gone for one day.

Speaker 4 (01:21:25):
No, I was gone for like four days. But I
I eat so much better when I you know, I
hang out with my mother in law. They take us
to fancy restaurants. People that eat fancy they don't gain
a lot of weight.

Speaker 1 (01:21:34):
You know, I don't know if that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:21:37):
I really wanted to get the last time, I wanted
to get the note chi in the four cream cheese sauce.
But I got the veal lasagna, which was also fantastic,
very spensive, very pricey.

Speaker 3 (01:21:49):
So you got veal lasagna.

Speaker 4 (01:21:51):
I usually my mother in law pays for every meal,
but there's one time where we'll pick up the check
and I usually wait till like it's real cheap, Like
you know, like if go for ice cream, but wait,
let me get this one.

Speaker 3 (01:22:01):
Would you let me get the ice cream?

Speaker 2 (01:22:03):
Coaches?

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
But we I decided to pick up a dinner. It
was like two hundred dollars. I'm like, no, no, for
three people.

Speaker 2 (01:22:09):
What's wrong with you? Guys?

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
Run that stop drinking, Run up drinking already, run that back.

Speaker 1 (01:22:14):
Do you just say no chi?

Speaker 6 (01:22:16):
It's you mean yoke, you mean yochis Yeah, chi yoke?

Speaker 4 (01:22:22):
I said you said chi. No, you said no chi yoki, Yeah,
something like that. Look, don't don't start being all high society.

Speaker 2 (01:22:32):
On your society like you're eating.

Speaker 3 (01:22:35):
Sorry, I passed, I passed on the caviare sorry?

Speaker 2 (01:22:38):
Guys pointing out that you're mispronouncing something that's not fancy
at all.

Speaker 3 (01:22:42):
You didn't know. If you knew, you would have corrected me.

Speaker 1 (01:22:44):
You had no I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 7 (01:22:47):
Potato. It's it's like potato.

Speaker 2 (01:22:49):
You can get those like an Albertson's or of Vaughan's.

Speaker 1 (01:22:52):
Like your normal grocery.

Speaker 4 (01:22:53):
Store is for cream, cheese, sauce, like this place is
come on and you can make it.

Speaker 7 (01:22:58):
It's called naked it already, there's recipes, man do better.

Speaker 3 (01:23:02):
Yeah, no, no, there's no cooking at this place. So
we went went to a good restaurant, good View, right
there on the water.

Speaker 4 (01:23:09):
Mother in law always pays. They got to stop boozing
it up. That takes after bill.

Speaker 2 (01:23:14):
I mean, that's part of the fun, is not. I guess, well,
if you're paying, you can be like, I'm not paying
for the booze.

Speaker 1 (01:23:21):
To pay for everything else not the booze.

Speaker 2 (01:23:23):
Do you can do that?

Speaker 4 (01:23:24):
No, my mother always picks up the check. I always
pretend like I want to go. Well, let me get okay, No, you.

Speaker 2 (01:23:28):
Take that, go ahead. That's I always pretend like you
I gotta pay for everything, dude.

Speaker 3 (01:23:34):
Really get out of here. No, I won't pay for anything.

Speaker 2 (01:23:37):
When I went with my mother in which is why
we eat a lot of moroms. We have a lot
of fast food. I'm not going to eat I'm not
going to eat fancy. I don't know what were you
talking about, like crim brulet or whatever fancy deserve you're
trying to have there.

Speaker 3 (01:23:48):
Oh yeah, it's just the fancier.

Speaker 4 (01:23:51):
The rest and it was like a two hour and
fifteen minute dinner.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
I'm like, we got to pick this.

Speaker 4 (01:23:57):
Like when we just ordered bread for the table, they
make it fresh, they baked the I'm like, no, no, no,
just get some bread on the table. We're just gonna
stuff it on our face anyway, Come on, now, make
fresh bread like that.

Speaker 2 (01:24:10):
The Arnie Army has spoken yes, nature boy rights. I
guess the demographic for Fox Sports Radio must have switched
from attack dog to chihuahua. If you're going to throw
in Broadway tunes, Broadway songs on sports talk, the world
is ready to vomit.

Speaker 4 (01:24:28):
It was just two seconds of a Broadway song.

Speaker 2 (01:24:32):
Two seconds sometimes all we.

Speaker 4 (01:24:35):
Get, dude, the sports fans not like, look, I told you,
I gave it a two out of ten. But I
don't see people that listen to this show going to
a Broadway play. I think sports fans, you know, the
guy that dress up at the Raider games with the
spikes or the Browns game with the dog face.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
I don't think they go to play as like my
fair lady, you.

Speaker 1 (01:24:55):
Know, well, I don't think you wanted to go to
a play like.

Speaker 3 (01:24:58):
No I did. I think it's two to for two
different audiences. On the side, though two different audiences.

Speaker 2 (01:25:04):
Here's a couple of more. There's the opposite side of this.
My man Curtis writes, the stinking Genius is hilarious tonight.
I can't stop laughing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:13):
So there's that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:13):
You've got one thumbs up. Thank you, William Rights. Thanks
for bringing the entertainment. Glad I didn't have to pay
at the door. You're the opposite of Angel Hernandez.

Speaker 4 (01:25:23):
What does that mean i'd have to pay at the door?
I don't know what opposite of Angel hernand means.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
I'm good and that means you're good. That means you're good.

Speaker 3 (01:25:30):
I'll take that. I'll take that.

Speaker 2 (01:25:32):
And then Gunny, my man, Gunny Rights, I'd rather listen
to Arnie give a play by play on the play
instead of NBA talk.

Speaker 4 (01:25:41):
Yeah, that's well, there's still a lot of good NBA talk,
a lot of free agency. I heard the guy's talking
about Klay Thompson where he's going to end up. I'm
a little intrigued about as you mentioned Zach Edy.

Speaker 3 (01:25:52):
Remember we did talk.

Speaker 4 (01:25:53):
I thought it was a joke that remember when we
were talking about they said he wasn't even gonna give
you get drafted. I said, stop it, I go, how
could you not even take a flyer on this guy
in the second round after what he's did at his height?
So I knew the whole thing was blown. It's just
ridiculous when they were saying that. Now you see him
in the lottery. I think he's gonna be a little

(01:26:14):
bit later than that.

Speaker 1 (01:26:15):
I think he's gonna be a little bit later than
the actual lottery.

Speaker 3 (01:26:18):
Yeah, I actually give that on my prediction.

Speaker 2 (01:26:20):
Oh okay, that's right. Do you mean the NBA Draft
that you didn't know was going on this week? Now
you have a prediction on it exactly. Now you're getting
the picture there, you go, way to pick up on that,
Josh Wrights. Who will have the better career, Wimby or Flag?
There's been more talk about next year's NBA Draft than

(01:26:41):
this year's. Well, first of all, I'm old enough to
remember whenever Arnie told us all that Victor Winbin Yama
was gonna suck because he had his he had a
bad very first, I guess said he was going to
number game.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
Yes, you did not, judge said he was going to suck.

Speaker 1 (01:26:57):
He said he's gonna be terrible. I can pull it
for you.

Speaker 2 (01:27:01):
Cooper Flag is the Duke Signe right who everyone is
just I guess losing their minds overright.

Speaker 3 (01:27:10):
Right right up here. He's up from up here in Maine.
Oh is he really?

Speaker 2 (01:27:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:27:14):
Yes, absolutely, there you go. He's the real deal, he
really is. He is just phenomenal. I just love this
kid's game. He's he's just such a good player. I've
seen a lot of I mean, I've not gone to
his high school games, but I've seen a lot of
his highlights.

Speaker 3 (01:27:29):
He he's big up here.

Speaker 4 (01:27:31):
I mean, I guess I don't know if they know
him all about him in the West Coast and stuff
like that, but up here in the Northeast, he's just umongous.

Speaker 2 (01:27:37):
You know, he's not the top overall recruit in the
twenty twenty five class. You know that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:43):
No, because there's a kid right here at Vermont Academy
that's supposed to be in the top ten in the
NBA draft.

Speaker 1 (01:27:48):
Can we move this away from Vermont for just a moment?

Speaker 3 (01:27:51):
Oh, I thought, I thought, that's who you were talking about.

Speaker 2 (01:27:52):
I'm talking about I'm talking about Cam Boozer. And if
that sounds familiar, it should because Carlos. He's the son
of Carlos Boozer, who is supposed to be the top
recruit in the country next year in twenty twenty five,
not knowing what about this kid from Delaware whose name
you don't know?

Speaker 8 (01:28:12):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:28:12):
You mean no?

Speaker 4 (01:28:13):
From the Vermont Academy, Oh, Vermont? Sorry, Yeah, he's supposed
to be. I think he's going to Arizona State. That's
the kid who flipped from Arizona and Arizona State, I believe.
And he's gonna be like a top ten pick in
the NBA Draft.

Speaker 3 (01:28:25):
He's only going to play one year.

Speaker 2 (01:28:26):
I guess. Okay, So with that information, Vermont Basketball, Vermont Academy,
Arizona State.

Speaker 3 (01:28:35):
I can't remember off the top of my head.

Speaker 2 (01:28:38):
If I gave you, like even a part of the name,
would you be able to figure it out? I don't
know if I told you that his name is spelled
josn And I'm not even kidding, is it Jisan? I mean,
can we start spelling people's names normal? Guson Jasonsanan is
what it looks like to me. It might be I'm

(01:28:59):
looking at it right now on the Google machine. Four
Star wing and Vermont Academy standout Jasonsina, thanks for all
the research on the show tonight.

Speaker 3 (01:29:09):
You're welcome. Just I was pulling that off the top
of my head.

Speaker 2 (01:29:11):
What do you want?

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
If I can't give you everything.

Speaker 2 (01:29:14):
You don't give me anything, Jason Rights, Canada is all
for Edmonton because classless idiot panther fans booed the Canadian
national anthem at least once, if not more during the series.

Speaker 4 (01:29:27):
Wow, I didn't know that. Do you think that would
start some type of controversy or subject?

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
So I did not know that.

Speaker 4 (01:29:32):
I'm all in for the game tomorrow. I'm game seven
or coming back from down three. I really would like
to see Edmonton win and get the Canadians the Cup.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
So I'm gonna be all in.

Speaker 3 (01:29:43):
I'm looking forward to it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:44):
You know, I'm excited for it.

Speaker 2 (01:29:46):
I am. I'm not gonna pretend like I'm suddenly a
hockey expert like you like to, but I'm here for
a good game. I think it's gonna be fun. Here
is here's one from Colin Colin Wrights calling at a
hot take overly harsh, whatever. But since twenty seventeen, which,
by the way, now twenty seventeen, we're going on seven

(01:30:09):
years ago.

Speaker 1 (01:30:09):
You know, it's I can do math.

Speaker 4 (01:30:13):
Do it taking a long time. It wasn't coming to
you real quickly. I was helping you out.

Speaker 2 (01:30:16):
Thank you. I appreciate coming. You're welcome. But since twenty seventeen,
it feels like Mike Tomlin has become Marvin Lewis for
a cornerstone NFL franchise. Tomlin's a Hall of Fame coach
and needs to do better. It's time ownership expects better
and the Steeler fans should demand better.

Speaker 4 (01:30:36):
Better because he has not had a losing season, and
how many years that he's been there, so he's never
had one, right, So I mean, how long is that
going on? I cant understare where there's upset because they
expected probably more Super Bowls than they have with Tomlin.

Speaker 3 (01:30:52):
So I can see where that comes into effect.

Speaker 2 (01:30:54):
Also, you know, in the last time they want a
playoff game in Pittsburgh. Not off the top of my head,
how long has it been the Super Bowl year?

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
Oh, get out of here has been get out of here?

Speaker 4 (01:31:07):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:31:07):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (01:31:08):
Twenty ten?

Speaker 3 (01:31:09):
Sorry, okay, oh that's not that much better.

Speaker 2 (01:31:13):
And then twenty sixteen they made it to the AFC Championship. Game.
So my bad matth has never been my strong suit.
So ten and sixteen were the last two times, and
they want a playoffs.

Speaker 3 (01:31:22):
See that's why I was helping you out before.

Speaker 2 (01:31:24):
And rip me on that wild card wild card wild
card and then a divisional game loss in their last one, two,
three four trips to the playoffs. They've never had a
losing record under Mike Tomlin, but they've they've missed the
playoffs in three of the last six years.

Speaker 4 (01:31:44):
You know I've If you dare criticized Tomlin, people just
come out of the woodworks to rip you about that. Uh,
he has to do better, though, I don't think he's
on the hot seat or anything like that.

Speaker 3 (01:31:53):
If that's what the Texa was.

Speaker 2 (01:31:54):
Getting at LJ Rights, The Lakers will not win another
championship with Lebron. The Lakers are stuck in the playing tournament,
can't finish high enough to get a legit playoff spot,
never mind catching the Celtics. I think they are fortunate
enough to barely make the playoffs the play in Well.

Speaker 4 (01:32:17):
When he says that they're never gonna win a championship again,
I guess he's not counting the n season tournament.

Speaker 2 (01:32:22):
But no, they're not gonna win again.

Speaker 4 (01:32:26):
That He's right about that, I said, unless they get
a really good superstar for the third guy on the
Lakers there, and even then I don't even know if
that's gonna go ahead put them over the hump. I
am curious about what's gonna happen at the press conference
to brow with JJ Reddick, what kind of attitude he's
gonna have, how he's gonna handle the media. Is it

(01:32:47):
gonna be a good time, Is it gonna be a
little animosity. I just think some people might ask him
some tough questions and he may come back and be
shorter or turtle a little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:33:00):
You's left that's got teeth in the LA media anymore,
unless my man Petros is gonna be there to grill him.
I mean, my gosh, the LA media is soft. I
mean we've become soft. What are we even doing right now?
You used to have dudes with teeth that would get
in there and dive into a story, and everybody's just

(01:33:20):
a freaking pushover right now, Let's go someone get in
there and ask the good and the necessary questions.

Speaker 4 (01:33:26):
Yeah, I think if somebody did, it might be uh,
you know, it might turn out that way. You might
be right though there they might not push back a
little bit on the higher and ask them tough.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
Brendan right, It's official. The Lakers are, without a doubt,
the stupidest business in the entire world. Now, I don't
know if I agree with that. Lebron is exasperating, exacerbating
the problem, exacerbating the problem. I hereby renounce my fandom
of this team until Lebron is off it and Polinka

(01:33:58):
grow a set and get out of him anyway.

Speaker 3 (01:34:01):
No, they're not gonna get rid of him. You have
to keep him.

Speaker 4 (01:34:04):
I mean, without him, what's the draw to your team
other than being the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (01:34:09):
Yeah, that's it. So you have to keep him.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
You got to keep you After the Davis how happy.
And I don't know what's gonna happen the first time
that JJ Redick and Lebron James don't see eye to eye. Uh,
for the season, or you know, for a game or
something that they lose a tough way. It's it'll be
interesting how they will handle something like that. I have
well look forward to the press conference. So I want
to say keep saying that.

Speaker 2 (01:34:30):
When was the last time you came away from a
press conference, You're like, yeah, dude, I'm that's amazing. That
was wild. Press conferences are press conferences. Nothing happens. It's
a dog and pony shoes.

Speaker 3 (01:34:40):
I'm expecting too much out of tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:34:42):
Then I think you're expecting way too much out of tomorrow.
All Right, all right, everyone's gonna make sure that they
get their their question about what it What does it
mean to be the Lakers coach? Are you worried about
not having experience? How does your relationship.

Speaker 3 (01:34:56):
With Lebron Lebron lead into this?

Speaker 2 (01:34:59):
What do you think of Captain BRONI?

Speaker 4 (01:35:01):
What is so nobody's gonna say anything? Like, what's the
first time you and Lebron don't see eye to eye?

Speaker 3 (01:35:05):
Are you gonna be worried?

Speaker 4 (01:35:06):
Othern there's the fact that somebody coaches have been fired
that Lebron's had that you're the next one, just to
you know, dead man walking. You're not gonna get any
of those questions.

Speaker 3 (01:35:16):
No, I would ask that. I would ask that.

Speaker 2 (01:35:19):
You might get high fives in bro hugs. It's like, hey, JJ,
real quick before I ask that question, come over here,
give damn me up, buddy. All right, So what do
you think everybody wants to be everybody's buddy anymore. Whenever
it comes to covering a team, it's like, no, let's
let's figure out the hell's going on here.

Speaker 3 (01:35:35):
Any in the national media are gonna be there that
are gonna ask questions, you know, like a Steven A
Smith or something.

Speaker 1 (01:35:40):
No, why why would Stephen A Smith they pay him
ten million?

Speaker 2 (01:35:43):
I wouldn't go to a press conference if I make
ten million dollars, sit in my penthouse and I would
just come up with hot takes all the time.

Speaker 1 (01:35:50):
Come on, you have to do real work.

Speaker 2 (01:35:52):
Let's go by the way.

Speaker 3 (01:35:53):
What do you think of Steven a asking for all
that money from ESPN? Is that crazy?

Speaker 2 (01:35:57):
Or what?

Speaker 1 (01:35:58):
What is it up to now? Seven mil? Set there apart?

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
Oh yeah, he wants twenty five million a year. I
think they're outfered Tom eighteen million a year.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
Right, I mean again, you like the I don't watch
these debate shows. You watch Skip Bayless, you watch obviously
they're all doing something, right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:16):
You watch Stephen A. Smith.

Speaker 2 (01:36:17):
It's background noise to me, like it's on while I'm
doing work, and I can There's never been a time
where I've looked up at any of these shows and thought, hey,
turn that up. Usually it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:36:30):
I mean, I.

Speaker 2 (01:36:30):
Appreciate that you come up with a rundown every single
Sunday night for the show. I honestly feel like you
do more work than some of the topic people on
these debate shows. Dude, it's like, hey, we got anything
on Dak Prescott.

Speaker 1 (01:36:44):
Well, you know he's up for a contract in like
a year.

Speaker 2 (01:36:47):
Go with it.

Speaker 1 (01:36:47):
We're talking Dak Prescott.

Speaker 9 (01:36:49):
For three hours, let's go, let's go back or yeah, no,
I just you know, it's first of all, that's a
lot of money for when you mentioned the debate shows,
for shows that no matter what network it is, you know,
doesn't have like the numbers like you haven't you know,
with the sports, with the games or anything like that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:05):
So that's a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (01:37:08):
I mean, there's players that might even come close to
making that type of money.

Speaker 3 (01:37:11):
So I don't know if he's worth it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:13):
If you're watching, he's worth it.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
And then there is one more here on your.

Speaker 2 (01:37:21):
Ownership, yes question, Josh writes, we can all agree that owners,
more than anything, always think they're not the problem. Jerry Jones,
Donald Sterling, Jim Mercy, James Dolan Ardi Moreno, Daniel Snyder.
The world can tell them they're crappy owners, but it

(01:37:41):
doesn't matter what the fans think.

Speaker 4 (01:37:44):
He's pretty much right on that. I mean, Jerry Jones,
remember the G I'm the GM. I'm never going to
relinquish that. And he's calling the shots. The owners, I mean,
it's their team. Mark Cuban for the longest time certainly
would call the shots. They think are smarter than everybody else.
So they own the team. It's their playpens, so they

(01:38:05):
got to go with it.

Speaker 2 (01:38:05):
You know, when we come back to the tyrack dot
com studios, there's a lot of Roman numerals we need
to get.

Speaker 1 (01:38:12):
Yes, I have I have Roman numeral five and seven.

Speaker 2 (01:38:16):
Okay, Roman numeral five, NBA free agency, Roman numeral seven.
Are we in a world where there's a whole new,
different salary cap coming for the NFL. We'll dive into

song to not have a proper like talk over to it.

Speaker 3 (01:39:36):
Next, next, next, Mary's always showing me what song do
you want?

Speaker 2 (01:39:40):
What song do you want?

Speaker 1 (01:39:42):
I don't even sound like that.

Speaker 7 (01:39:43):
Don't mock me like that, then, suspectful.

Speaker 4 (01:39:46):
Next week, I'm gonna go ahead and come up with
I need a list I'm gonna have the listeners come
up with the top five songs of sports songs.

Speaker 3 (01:39:53):
We want his bumper music for Mary to play. So
that's gonna be my list next week on the show.
How about that.

Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
I'd rather have a poker stuck in my ah then
to have to go through a list of people saying
play this week in baseball theme. I mean you really
want to do that to your Twitter feed that you
only post pictures of cake on right now?

Speaker 3 (01:40:12):
Wow, look at you coming out for ice cream.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
And ice cream. That's right, No, the ice cream isn't acceptable.

Speaker 3 (01:40:18):
Mary's been mad ever since somebody thought she was my wife.

Speaker 7 (01:40:21):
I am that's no.

Speaker 3 (01:40:23):
I'm sorry.

Speaker 7 (01:40:23):
That's actually crazy. Like I'm you're old enough to be
my grandpa?

Speaker 3 (01:40:27):
Wow, I just sound young.

Speaker 2 (01:40:30):
I guess is what it is. I'll say a compliment
math here, So Mary might be twenty one, I am
putting one.

Speaker 7 (01:40:36):
Okay, we have the same birthday.

Speaker 1 (01:40:38):
I am not old enough to be your grandpa.

Speaker 7 (01:40:39):
Yeah, you're old to be my dad.

Speaker 2 (01:40:41):
I'm pretty definitely old enough to be your dad. Yeah,
definitely older are grandpa? I'm forty nine?

Speaker 7 (01:40:46):
Yeah, because my mom is there on your age sid.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
Yeah, you're the game. You're enough to be my dad, right,
Arnie definitely old enough to be your grandpa for sure.

Speaker 7 (01:40:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:40:54):
Sure, let me get all these two other Roman numerals
cereal quick that I wanted to make sure we got
in number number five Roman numeral V yes V.

Speaker 1 (01:41:03):
NBA free Agency.

Speaker 2 (01:41:05):
Now we're gonna have some time because Arnie and I
are going to be on Friday night to recap the
NBA Draft. I mean, I'm sure everyone's just gonna be
burning up the phone lines, burning up the phone lines
on Friday night at eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox to recap days one and two of the NBA Draft.
But as we sit him for Jason and Mike will

(01:41:27):
be a day closer to the start of NBA free agency.
Each team can start negotiating with all other free agents
starting at six o'clock Eastern on June thirtieth, So that
will actually be next Sunday night. Whenever we're here. We'll
get a little bit more of a preview on Friday.
But what are you most intrigued by? You've got it

(01:41:47):
at Big Story five. I mean, is it Lebron? Is
it Paul George? When will these guys make their decisions
on their playoffs?

Speaker 4 (01:41:54):
Yeah, Paul George is obviously one of them. I want
to see what's gonna go on with him. I'm not
so sure that he's going to find his way on
the Clippers. I'm I don't even know. I don't have odds.
I don't know if it's fifty fifty or something like that.
But I'm kind of curious what's gonna happen. They have
Klay Thompson, I really feel is not going back to
Golden State. I think that's done. He's got to look
for another team. Are the Lakers and his plans? I

(01:42:16):
haven't heard any of the rumors tying him in there.
I mean, obviously it's the natural fit, and you know
it gives them another three point shooter, so I could
I think you could work out. But then again, do
you want to give Klay Thompson all that money because
he's not gonna give a discount after the injuries that
he's had on the down side of his career.

Speaker 3 (01:42:34):
The Knicks are gonna make big moves.

Speaker 4 (01:42:36):
I just saw today that they may not be able
to keep Hartenstein, which would be a big problem.

Speaker 3 (01:42:41):
They can't lose him. I don't know what's gonna happen.

Speaker 4 (01:42:44):
Og and Anobi because I mean, this guy they need
to keep, and they maybe trade Mitchell, but they don't
want to. Baz has two years left and I think
he's gonna be like thirty million a year or something,
so they want to try to keep him.

Speaker 3 (01:42:59):
But they're going to make a move. I just don't
know who they're gonna go and get rid of.

Speaker 4 (01:43:03):
There's there's and I think Chris Paul was one of
the Warriors have an option or something, so I'm not
sure if they're gonna go and keep him. So I
think there could be a lot of moves that are
gonna make big changes in the NBA.

Speaker 2 (01:43:18):
I think it's gonna be to me. Will the Warriors
give Klay Thompson a contract that will keep him from
hitting the open market.

Speaker 1 (01:43:30):
It doesn't look that way.

Speaker 3 (01:43:31):
No, No, that's not happening. Forget about that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:34):
Well, James Harden end up hitting the market, will his
value be any higher?

Speaker 2 (01:43:39):
I don't think so. You mentioned Chris Paul, Yeah, consistent
connections with him to the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (01:43:48):
I saw that.

Speaker 1 (01:43:49):
Yeah, don't get it. Don't get it.

Speaker 2 (01:43:51):
But apparently Paul George's decision is the true Domino starter,
according to Zach Lowe, because there hasn't been any movement
in extension talks. The Sixers are expected to be in
the mix big time, but they also need to work on,
you know, salary cap space, and apparently they could have

(01:44:15):
up to sixty five million dollars in salary cap space. Wow,
the Sixers can. I think Oklahoma City is gonna be
fascinating to watch. They go get Crusoe and they trade
Josh Giddy. I think they're they're gonna be in the mix.
But I also I also just is Lebron gonna opt
out and then just re sign with the Lakers?

Speaker 3 (01:44:36):
That's what I assumed.

Speaker 2 (01:44:37):
Am I wrong on that?

Speaker 4 (01:44:38):
Is?

Speaker 3 (01:44:38):
There's something I'm busy.

Speaker 4 (01:44:39):
I just thought he was gonna get the more money
by opting out of resigning Rich Paul.

Speaker 2 (01:44:44):
The one thing that he did say was that Lebron's
not going to Phoenix for a minimum deal, which was
hilarious to me that that was out there. But I
think we're on the on the cusp of a pretty
transformational off season, Arnie. I think we're gonna see a
lot of big names on the move. And then listen
the Clippers. They're opening a new arena and I haven't

(01:45:08):
been to La in a while. But I still think
it's a Lakers market, so you're in a competitive world
to make sure you get people in that building. They
just can't say, oh, you know, we'll let Paul George
walk and go with Kawhi and rebuild.

Speaker 1 (01:45:21):
They gotta get some dudes in there too.

Speaker 2 (01:45:24):
You know, you Owls in there too.

Speaker 3 (01:45:26):
Bad they have to keep Kawhi. I'd be done with
that guy too.

Speaker 4 (01:45:28):
I just I can't do anything and more with the
load management, the attitude, just just everything. I would have
to go ahead and you know, rebuild and start again.
But you're right with the new arena, you can't really
afford to do that.

Speaker 2 (01:45:41):
By the way, Kyle, go ahead and mark the tape.
It's a twelve thirty three am Central time.

Speaker 1 (01:45:46):
Why do you keep calling them?

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
Kyle? What did I say?

Speaker 3 (01:45:50):
You call them? Kyle?

Speaker 2 (01:45:51):
Oh? Did I?

Speaker 4 (01:45:52):
That's the second time you said that. I didn't say
anything the first. Our producer is Patrick for crying.

Speaker 1 (01:45:57):
Out, Kyle. I've got a Kyle on my mind. Sorry, Patrick.

Speaker 2 (01:46:00):
Patrick marked the tape at twelfth and you make fun
of not knowing that, Yeah, exactly, not knowing anyone's name.
And I can't even remember Patrick's name, Okay, Patrick, mark
the tape because all this I gets marked, all this
I've forgotten about Kawhi Leonard and he stinks and stuff.
As soon as he mentions the Knicks as a possible
landing spot, then Arnie Spaniel will do him one.

Speaker 3 (01:46:20):
Unlike, let's let's go now, he's not going to the
Knicks though, that's not gonna happen.

Speaker 2 (01:46:25):
All right. When we come back to the tyrack dot
com studios tyre rack dot com, we'll help you get there.
Let's dive into your tweets because they've been great. Tonight
at Stinkingenius one, I'm at plak show. Everyone go follow
us at Fox Sports Radio. But first, and for one
final time tonight, Steve de Seger's in the house. What's
up Steve?

Speaker 1 (01:46:43):
Hello, gentlemen, and Arnie? Can you name that too? Is
that the NFL oh brong sport?

Speaker 3 (01:46:56):
Okay?

Speaker 11 (01:46:57):
Then what is it?

Speaker 6 (01:47:00):
Dead?

Speaker 1 (01:47:01):
Was this baseball?

Speaker 7 (01:47:02):
This week? In baseball?

Speaker 3 (01:47:05):
We played it last week?

Speaker 7 (01:47:06):
There you go, Faith and Arnie, I did you for that?

Speaker 1 (01:47:10):
I really did it.

Speaker 11 (01:47:12):
He's thrown me off actually knowing the producer name. I know.

Speaker 1 (01:47:17):
I'm shocked too.

Speaker 2 (01:47:18):
I don't know where I got I have a Kyle
written down on my sheet, and I don't know where
it came.

Speaker 3 (01:47:22):
Who in the hell's Kyle?

Speaker 1 (01:47:23):
I don't know what Kyle is there a Kyle that
even works out.

Speaker 3 (01:47:26):
We don't even have a listener name Kyle.

Speaker 11 (01:47:28):
That's next producer that he forgets his name. The Lakers
will introduce JJ Redick as head coach tomorrow. Four w
NBA games today, including Chicago edging Indiana. Scottie Scheffler won
the Travelers in a playoff. Christopher Bell took the NASCAR
race at New Hampshire. Us Man soccer defeated Bolivia two nothing,
and it's Copa America opener. Christian Polisics scored in the

(01:47:50):
third minute and assist late in the first half. US outshot.
I'm twenty to six, had sixty percent of the possessions.
Bolivia is not good. I don't know how much four play.
I can state that there. They're ranked eighty fourth in
the world. They've lost thirteen straight Copa America matches. This
is as easy as it's gonna get.

Speaker 3 (01:48:08):
You're going quite well. I gotta give you did play well.

Speaker 11 (01:48:11):
Yeah, it should have been a lot more than two.

Speaker 3 (01:48:12):
Could have been like fives.

Speaker 11 (01:48:13):
Absolutely absolutely. The US will play Panama on Thursday and Atlanta.
Panama lost its opener tonight in Miami three to one
to Uruguay. At the Euro Soccer Tournament Germany, the host
tied Switzerland won to one with a late goal. Scotland
was eliminated losing one nothing to Hungry on a goal
in the one hundredth minute. There had been an injury
on a collision. And yes, we have a Stanley Cup

(01:48:34):
Game seven on Monday, Edmonton at Florida. Florida has never
won the Cup. The franchise started in nineteen ninety three.
It lost the final in ninety six, lost the final
last year. Edmonton's last Stanley Cup win came in nineteen ninety.

Speaker 3 (01:48:48):
Eat a big game from Grant Fuor got a big
game from him. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (01:48:52):
Let's remember now.

Speaker 2 (01:48:55):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
People have no idea.

Speaker 2 (01:48:57):
Who the hell Grant's keep playing?

Speaker 11 (01:48:59):
These Edmonton Oilers fired their head coach early in this
season with a record of three and ten at the time,
and they're not only in the final, they're one game
away from the Cup.

Speaker 2 (01:49:09):
Amazing.

Speaker 11 (01:49:09):
The Mets won at the Cubs five to two tonight,
but Mets closer Edwin Diez was thrown out to start
the bottom of the ninth due to a foreign substance
on his hand. So he's facing a ten games Toscos.
We appeal that he's a union member. Of course he
can appeal that. I don't know about the we part,
but yes, absolutely he could appeal. Texas shut out Kansas
City for nothing. The wind to Max Scherzer in his

(01:49:30):
season debut. He went five innings. Washington scored two in
the top of the ninth to win two to one
at Colorado. Milwaukee was a six to two winner at
San Diego Padres record forty one and forty one. Minnesota
was a three to nothing winner at Oakland. The Wind
to Pablo Lopez of the Twins. He had fourteen strikeouts
in eight innings. Phillies won again, Cleveland won again. Atlanta

(01:49:51):
beat the Yankees three one. Gen Carlos Stanton was placed
on the aisle with a strained hamster and could miss
a month. Detroit beat the White Sox eleven to two.
The Chicago White Sox have a record of twenty one
and fifty eight. They trailed nine to nothing in the
second inning. Today. Houston won its fifth in a row,
beating up Baltimore eight to one. In the Al East,

(01:50:11):
the Yankees are first, still a game and a half
over the Baltimore Orioles, and Saint Louis down the Giants
five to three. San Francisco's lost five in a row.
The Dodgers and Angels were off after playing each other
on Friday and Saturday, and at the College World Series.
Number one Tennessee force to game three of the best
of three final tomorrow, winning four to one. Today against
fourth rank Texas A and M Tennessee valls record fifty

(01:50:34):
nine and thirteen, trying to become the first number one
national seed to win the title since Miami in nineteen
ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (01:50:42):
Let's go ow, that's my team.

Speaker 2 (01:50:45):
When's the last time we had sixty wins in a
season two? That's been a minute.

Speaker 11 (01:50:49):
I don't know if the White Sox are going to
do that.

Speaker 2 (01:50:50):
No, they won't.

Speaker 3 (01:50:52):
They won't.

Speaker 1 (01:50:55):
Have a good week to say later to sag.

Speaker 2 (01:50:57):
Even though we don't get to hang out with them
on Friday night, Arnie and I will be in for
Jason and Mike on Friday night. Will be taking your
calls on the.

Speaker 4 (01:51:03):
Other good knife, yeah would take. So we should take
some calls, shouldn't we I'm in you're always afraid to
do that?

Speaker 2 (01:51:11):
Who is you are?

Speaker 3 (01:51:14):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:51:14):
I don't go to calls because you sit there and
you complain and grinch about we don't take any calls,
and then when you take a call, you want to
hang up on him after they say one thing. That's
why I don't take calls. So I get this guy
out of here. He doesn't know what he's talking about,
like he said hello on the phone. You have no
patience with callers, Arnie. That's why there's time you can

(01:51:35):
have a conversation. You don't want to do that. A
couple of quick texts before and tweets before we grab
a break and get Arnie's picks in here, mister nobody writes.
People knew Boston would win the finals, Dallas got to
face not ready for primetime OKC, and Minnesota Lucas cavetching
about fouls made him unlikable. The product itself isn't as

(01:51:57):
entertaining with analytics. Of course, people thought the final sucked.

Speaker 4 (01:52:03):
You gotta agree with a lot of that, There's no doubt,
But you know what, it wasn't just the finals, because
I told you is the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (01:52:08):
Were going on.

Speaker 1 (01:52:09):
Yeah, the whole that I was born.

Speaker 3 (01:52:10):
You're like, and you were drilling me, like what you
don't like it?

Speaker 4 (01:52:12):
There was this game in that game, but I'm like,
I don't know what it is, and just I'm not
getting into it this year, I'm not sure what it was.

Speaker 2 (01:52:18):
Well, part of it was your Knicks lost, and we're
very much a homer other.

Speaker 4 (01:52:23):
Than the Knicks. The Knicks, right, she's still in it.
What we talked about this though, the Knicks was still.

Speaker 2 (01:52:28):
In the place, right, and if I'm remembering correctly, the
Knicks games were all amazing and every other game.

Speaker 3 (01:52:33):
Sucked right exactly exactly, and then.

Speaker 1 (01:52:36):
One more here off.

Speaker 2 (01:52:38):
I guess you could say an additional an additional tweet
for mister nobody who writes, Did you guys check if
JJ's contract came with Mary Andette strings for Lebron to operate? Boy,
that seems to be very popular. Take Arnie that there
is one reason and one reason only why JJ Reddick
got this job, and that's because Lebron James likes.

Speaker 3 (01:52:59):
Him and he out to that.

Speaker 4 (01:53:00):
I mean, if he wasn't doing a podcast with Lebron James,
would he be the coach of the Los Angeles Lakers
right now.

Speaker 3 (01:53:06):
I don't think so there's zero there'd be zero chance
he'd be that coach there.

Speaker 4 (01:53:10):
I didn't know that the Laker job was a starter
job anyway, but I guess it is now a starter job.
It doesn't mean that he can't be successful. I just
don't think he's got the team around him. And I
do think it's kind of tough to just come in
like this and you know, be raw and not have
any experience as a NBA head coach. I know what's
happened before, but you know, we'll see how he had

(01:53:34):
is tough with Lebron James, Oh, that's for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:53:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:53:37):
And guys, I was going through the list, and remember
JJ Reddick. His name did come up for other jobs.
He was a candidate for New Orleans last year. Detroit
was mentioned this year as a team that I want
to talk to him. I guess you would say that
the coach with no previous head coaching experience that's had

(01:53:57):
the most success in the last twenty years is Steve Kerr.

Speaker 3 (01:54:01):
Steve Kerr right, right, But no one else really.

Speaker 2 (01:54:07):
Doc Rivers, whenever he was hired by the Magic, had
a good start with Orlando eventually won a title. Larry
Bird was pretty good whenever he was with Indiana, but
for the most part, I mean, you're looking, I forgot
about Derek Fisher and the Knicks. Did you remember that
in twenty fourteen he was there for two years as.

Speaker 1 (01:54:26):
Your head coach.

Speaker 8 (01:54:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:54:27):
Then obviously, just it's a bar right now, you know
what I mean, It's been so long since the Knicks
have been relevant that I love TIBs.

Speaker 3 (01:54:35):
I think he's doing a great job and he just
weren't down the team, right.

Speaker 1 (01:54:38):
But I mean, you go back in Derek Fisher.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
I completely forgot about that that in twenty fourteen, without
a head coaching job anywhere, he was hired as the
head coach. And let me see, he is sixth all
time in winning percentage for the Knicks. I'm sorry, not
sixth all time. He is in the top ten all

(01:55:03):
time in losses. Oh my gosh, there you go. I
was like, yeah, Kurt Rambis was the Knicks coach after
Derek Fisher got fired in sixteen. Oh my gosh, I
forgot about this run of terrible Knicks coaches from Uh,
let's see Mike D'Antoni in twenty twelve, to Mike Woodson,

(01:55:24):
to Derek Fisher, to Kirk Rambis, to Jeff Hornishack.

Speaker 3 (01:55:27):
What were you remember Horner Sick? I remember him? What
are you guys doing?

Speaker 4 (01:55:32):
I told you the story about Horner Sick was sleeping
on my couch when I was in college.

Speaker 2 (01:55:37):
You know what, you haven't told that story and we've
got a break, so you probably save that one for
Friday Night. Right that now? Mark Jackson, by the way,
three seasons, two playoff appearances after not having coached at
all when he took the Golden State Warriors job in
twenty eleven. All right, when we come back to the
Tirack dot Com studios, Arnie's picks will take us home

(01:55:59):
on Fox It's Radio, all right, great job tonight by
the crew, job by Mary on the music, Patrick crushing it.
We had a great conversation with Todd Furman earlier in
the program, and as always, Steve de Sager money on
the updates as well as the millions and millions of

(01:56:23):
editors behind the scenes bringing us all the great audio
which you'll hear on the Ben Malors Show as well,
which is coming up next. On many of these same
fine Fox Sports radio affiliates. According to Sportico, here are
the last let's see here. Since JJ Reddick took the
job for the Lakers, here are the last eight head coaches.

(01:56:46):
Just real quick before we get to your picks, Arnie
that took a job without any previous head coaching experience
in the NBA. Steve Nash in twenty twenty, Yeah, gone
after three seasons. Derek Fisher two years with the Knicks.
I did not remember Derek Fisher being the head coach
in the Knicks. It was one of those moments where like, whoa,

(01:57:07):
Jason Kidd Who I think kids ended up having a
good career, right?

Speaker 3 (01:57:12):
Yeah, so far?

Speaker 2 (01:57:13):
Yes? I have one season with the Nets back in
twenty thirteen, Mark Jackson in twenty eleven with the Golden
State Warriors. And how about these two doozies Vinnie del
Negro in two thousand and eight with the Bulls. Yeah,
and Isaiah Thomas in two thousand with the Pacers. Oh,

(01:57:34):
I don't know. Isaiah spent three seasons with the Pacers
and made the playoffs all three years. Nine out of
the twelve reached the playoff at some point, but only
in this list of NBA head coaches with no prior
coaching experience. It's nineteen ninety. Only two ended up winning
more than one playoff series, Steve curR and Larry Bird.

Speaker 4 (01:57:58):
Now the ones before nineteen they're gonna have been first
time coaches that won championships.

Speaker 2 (01:58:04):
Probably, So I don't know. I haven't done my research back,
Like I think no, but I think it's something.

Speaker 4 (01:58:09):
But like, uh, I don't know, Like Tommy Heinzen who
was a player coach last time you were allowed to
do that, and I think they won the championship that
I'm not sure.

Speaker 2 (01:58:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:58:18):
You I know what you are, sure you're sure of
your picks. Yeah, let's take it away.

Speaker 2 (01:58:23):
Let's get out here.

Speaker 4 (01:58:24):
We got a Game seven tomorrow and it's gonna be
a doozy because the Panthers are gonna be leading three
to two in Game seven and with a little bit
over two minutes left, finally gets on the board, Connor
McDavid will tie it up. We're gonna have a little
o t for Game seven, OT for Game seven ratings
through the roof?

Speaker 2 (01:58:41):
Did I just tell you? Tied it up?

Speaker 4 (01:58:43):
He's gonna win it to two goals from Connor McDavid
and Edmonton wins the Stanley Cup. Miami at number fifteen
will draft Zach Edie in the NBA draft. Gave this
a lot of thought ever since you told me that
it was gonna be this Wednesday. Broad is gonna be
drafted by the Lakers. I don't know what number, how

(01:59:05):
if the Lakers getting an extra pick, how they do it,
but they are gonna.

Speaker 1 (01:59:08):
Draft first and second round picks.

Speaker 2 (01:59:11):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:59:11):
This is not going to be the first round'll be
a second round.

Speaker 4 (01:59:13):
USA is going to be Padama three to one, Tennessee
over Texas A and M. And there you have my picks.
Do with them as you please. No longer strictly for
entertainment purposes only.

Speaker 1 (01:59:25):
You're going with Tennessee over Tech.

Speaker 3 (01:59:28):
By the way, can I get quickly give you my
number one way?

Speaker 2 (01:59:30):
You got plenty of time, Well, my number one way
that I was going to do.

Speaker 4 (01:59:33):
The worst way to die is if the bosses call
me up to the office and they say, already, we've
underappreciated you all these years. We know Colin's retiring. We
want you to replace Colin. Monday through Thursday. Of course,
you get Friday, Saturday and Sunday off and just to
show you how much we love you.

Speaker 3 (01:59:53):
We're going to triple Colin sorry and give it to you.

Speaker 4 (01:59:57):
And then I start feeling the pain on my left side,
but it really doesn't get to me until they say
and you get the bus around the Sega and then
I just I collapse and that's just too much for
me to handle something.

Speaker 2 (02:00:08):
So, in your opinion, the number one way to die
would be basically taking over for Colin cow.

Speaker 3 (02:00:16):
Yeah, the shock of that which has you to drop exactly.

Speaker 1 (02:00:20):
All right, there's your pigs.

Speaker 2 (02:00:22):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (02:00:23):
We'll see how I do.

Speaker 2 (02:00:25):
Am I the only one that's still triggered by the
fact that the second round of the NBA Draft is
in the middle of the afternoon.

Speaker 3 (02:00:30):
I think you are. Most people just don't care the hell.

Speaker 2 (02:00:34):
It's like, what are we even doing here? Second or
out is in the middle of the afternoon? All right, enjoyed.
I'm sure Big Ben Mahler's got a mass of NBA
mock draft coming up that we can break down. But
again a reminder, Arnie and I will be in next
Friday night. We're sitting in for Jason and Mike, so
that'll be ten p to two A No, actually, that's

(02:00:54):
four hours right, so nine

Speaker 1 (02:00:56):
P to one a Central time next week
