Speaker 3 (01:08):
It is American hero, Joey Chestnutt and his sixteenth championship.
It is not just hey, Joey chestnut but it is
American hero. He saved the Fourth of July. There was rain,
all by himself, just like Bruce Willis did and every
movie he's ever done. He saved Fourth of July. He
stayed there was gonna be no contest. It was raining.
(01:31):
He said blight that we're gonna do it. They We're
gonna cancel fireworks all across the country. They were gonna
cancel the fourth I mean people actually come into work
in the afternoon. And he saved it by winning the
hot dog eating contest. And he's reduced to just a
mention at the end of euro update. Oh, by the way,
Joey Chestnutt, you treat his name, You put respect on
his name.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You know, Jason, I studied under a Pulitzerprise winning journalist.
I can only wonder what he would think of me
reporting on the Nathan's hot Dog eating contest.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Good thing he's dead, Wow, good thing? Yeah, that escalated quickly.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Here we're talking about a guy who said, you know what,
we will not be felled. I will not allow those
people that bet four thousand dollars to win twenty five
cents to have those bets go on cash today. No,
we are going to have a competition. We're gonna make
it work. You saw those sad sex standing out there
in the rain with their cigarettes drenched, dangling from their lips,
(02:35):
just hoping to see a glimpse of these sixteen time
champion You know, you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Today we celebrate our Independence Day.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
You guys actually are honestly right about this, because during
the lightning delay, people were freaking out on social media,
including a gentleman named Joe who tweeted and I quote,
we didn't revolt against the British so that one day
we would cancel the hot dog eating contest day.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
You wait it out, man, You wait it out, or
you take it indoors to a Nathan's down the street.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
There has to be a competition right on a July fourth.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, but hang on, I want to go back because
usually harm you're the guy that goes dark and mentions
dead people.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
I celebrate life. He was glad he was dead. I
celebrate histories.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah. Here here's a here's a guy, Isaac long crome
that you have. You know, it was really great to you,
and you said, you're glad he's dead. What is that?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Oh, he'd be glad if he knew that I was
reporting on the Nathan's hot dog eating context.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Well, then he's a snob and put him in his
place is what should have happened.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
He already is in his place.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Wow. Wow, he doubled down.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
He grabbed another shovelful.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm picturing your dad. I'm picturing this. This person's being
packed in whitehead from the Back to School movie. You
just died a couple of weeks ago. We are not
going to report on such snobbery as hot dog.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You're really You're actually on the right track, Jason. You
are on the right track.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
So it's about right.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Yeah, I mean I got to watch it.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
I mean, now you're doing your Valdemort and Harry Potter
is dead.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Laugh.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
In addition to I Low, I'm joe positivity over here.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, I mean, Isaac, that just got really dark, really fat.
Speaker 8 (04:22):
I don't know how we would recover from that one, Guys.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I don't know, but you luckily we don't have to
because Joey Chestnut is saving it for us.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
We did, I mean even march through the rain pumping
his fist ready to go, said at the end, I
mean the under cash so easy.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, that was a pretty easy bet. I mean it
went down the hot dog eating contest. That was a
pretty easy bet.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
It went from the delay.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
I mean we talked to Todd Furman on Friday, the
question of air quality, humidity, all of those things factoring in,
but then you have the delays. So the total actually
moved from seventy two and a half to seventy one
and a half, and it was never challenged. Why because
there's such a gap between first and second place? Why
push yourself? You can go and have, as he said,
(05:03):
a liquid diet with some beers.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
A little later on, I.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
See, I don't think it's a liquid diet. I think
like it's beer. I think that's gonna be his diet tonight.
He said, I have room for some beer tonight every one.
So I think that's what it's going to do.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Bud Light still count as beer.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It's still everything still counts.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
I don't know what that rebranding and purposing. Travis Kelsey adds,
and it was all over the WWE pay per view.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's gonna be Bud with two d's bud the light. Yeah, no,
it's different. It's different. It's a bud to the light.
That's what we have right now.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
When you hit an obstacle and you have something in
the road that is stopping you from moving full fours ahead,
whether it's in your personal life, relationships, or in business.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
What do you do? You pivot And that's what they did.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I will just say this. In the history of sports. Yeah,
in the history of sports, the Yankees have the most
championships with twenty seven, the Montreal Canadians the second most
with twenty three. In third the Lakers and the Celtics
with seventeen, and then is Joey Chestnut with sixteen. He
(06:06):
is coming for the Celtics and Lakers next year. In
the next two years, he will pass the Celtics and
Lakers and only have the Canadians and the Yankees to
try to get to. Now he's thirty nine, he even said,
I'm getting older now I'm thirty nine. I think it's
kind of like that. This is the equivalent of, Hey,
will Tiger catch Jack when you're counting majors. He's getting older,
(06:27):
He's gonna get there. Will Joey chesnutt catch the Yankees.
He's got sixteen Joey ches and the Yankees have twenty seven.
Will he catch the Yankees? Well?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Depending on the math, though, Jason, I mean, you're also
forgetting John Cena. And we don't know what the true
count is Rick Flair because he won everywhere he went.
They claim sixteen times, but that's just WWE ANDWA back
in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, it doesn't matter. He's gonna blow past Rick Flair
next year. He's got sixteen already, doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Yeah, I mean he goes as long as he wants.
I mean, it's and it, dude. I did like that.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
My mana the announcer whose name I should know by now.
But when he took off his carnival barking straw hat
for a moment he was wearing one to for an
ant acid as he went to the announcement, I'm like,
good for you.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah. No, that dude, that dude needs more run. I've
said it for years, that dude needs more ic. His
intros are amazing. It's like it's like he's introducing people
who were going to fight a war against an alien species.
These are the people who are gonna protect our planet.
As they fly off in the most dangerous mission of
their lives. Oh you say in nineteen ninety six when
(07:36):
he saved the aliens the first time, that was the
only time we need to call on Will Smith. Then
it was years later. I mean that's kind of how
he speaks, no question about it. How has he not
gotten like more run? How has he not gotten more
more famous? I don't understand. I mean this is this
is not like it's his first year doing He's been
doing it for a while now.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
I really you know, I started diving in. I'm only
two episodes in, but there's now a multi part document
around the history of American gladiators. How about we resurrect
that and make him our announcer? Oh, the Battle of
the Network Stars and make him our announcer.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, but do people really watch network TV if people
know who a lot of those people are anymore?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
I mean we bring in I mean, look, network is uh,
I can use the term loosely. Now we we make
that a a small.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
N Yeah, dude, it would be have to be Battle
of the Streaming Stars, because you know anybody these and
so and so are you from Gray's Anatomy or n
C I S or wait, which are you from?
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Which are which are the actual networks team up at
this point, then there's an actual team's steam.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Which are these interchangeable cop police procedural Are you or
or or Gray's Anatomy? Are you from?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Like?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Which of these? I don't know? I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
I mean there's one one team representing all the Chicago
shows that are at NBC.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Maybe that's how you do it. Maybe that's it. Instead
of Battle Network stars, it's cops versus police versus lawyers.
Right that those of the three networks.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
At least lawyers and the doctors.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's the holy trinity of TV shows. They keep going
back to you got cops, you got you got lawyers,
and you have doctors. Like those are three shows that
for fifty years people have wanted. That's kind of how
you have it now. I'm on the doctor team, I'm
on the lawyer team, I'm on the cop team. And
that's how you do it. That's how we rebrand it,
I mean.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
And then we bring in William Peterson and Sam Waterston.
They give us each one really good one liners and
then go off as the competition gets underway.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Guys, is Independence Day only the tenth most American movies
ever made.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, because you have every Rocky movie.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
I mean, that's way more after Top Gun came in
at one.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Top well, Top Gun is because Top Gun is one
of the greatest movies of all time, and Top Gun
Maverick is even better than the first one.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Why are you disrespecting our president?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
What do you got man? Because listen, you had a
movie with Tom Cruise, okay, and then you had a
movie with Bill Pullman. Come on, man, Bill Pullman is
the president? Come on, ye I mean really, come on, man,
that's crazy. I mean Bill Pullman as the president. As
the president Bill.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Pullman, Yeah, he was an awesome president.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, he wasn't he was he was. He was the
He was the dude from Spaceballs who was down dressed yourself.
Come on, man, I I can't. I couldn't buy him
as the president.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Ratings by flying in F sixteen to defeat Aliens?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Does anyone have any Yeah? And what happened? He had
no missiles left. We had to rely on Randy Quaid
to save the cut spoiler.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Come on, man, give away the whole movie while you're
at it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Isn't isn't it? Randy Quaid? Like squatting in a house somewhere.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You know, we we we just leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I mean, come on, man, you can't.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
There's a lot to talk about there.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
The President runs out of missiles and Randy Quaid's gotta say,
I mean, come on, I mean Top Top Gun easily
number one. Yes, you know, the top Gun, Rocky Top
Gun and Rocky. I would say, the big.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
One about Team America World Police Man. That's got to be.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh that's a big one. That's that's in the top five,
that's the top talent.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Red Dawn.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh yeah, the original record, yeah.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Four, Apollo thirteen, that's America.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, kind of is.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
What about Captain America? The first event?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, no, no, no, no. First Avenger was boring. You
get you gotta get it. Got into Civil War boring,
you gotta get the Winter Soldier in Civil War. First
of America was boring.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Oh what do you know about Marvel?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It was so boring. No, no, no, you have to
you have to get to the later ones. Give me

Speaker 3 (11:27):
So long.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, that's a good one too. I mean, if you're
the president, you also hunt vampires. I mean that's pretty fad.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I mean he was fighting against uh my man Malfoy
in the Patriots, so I mean, come on, oh.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
If you could defeat the Fed, the family Malfoy. Yeah, okay,

(12:17):
Now this has just come in in the last couple
of minutes, says we'll get back to I got a
great Joey Chestnut game that we're gonna play later on this.
I have an awesome Joey Chestnut game. But it looks
like the Angels are going to have to navigate through
the trade deadline and beyond without Mike Trout, who was
just placed on the injured list by the Angels a
(12:40):
few minutes ago a fractured hammet bone in his wrist
from last night when he left the game after injuring
it on a swing. He said, you know what, it
doesn't feel good. These are injuries, according to Bob Nightingale,
that normally take four to eight weeks to heal. So
you're talking about the entirety of July and probably August
without Mike Trout. That the Angels have to stay afloat
(13:02):
and stay in playoff contention and order to keep show
Hao Tani actually with the team through the trade deadline.
Right now, the Angels three games over five hundred, so
they're in the thick of the wildcard chase. They're not
in a wildcard, but there are only three games behind.
There are a bunch of teams, a gaggle of teams
that are right around two, three, four, five games behind.
But this is now getting to be even more difficult
(13:24):
because if something happens here, Mike and you get to
the end of the deadline. If the Angels wind up
losing a ton of games in a row and it's
not like Mike Trout is having a typical Mike Trout
type season, but it's still you're missing Mike Trout if
suddenly they start losing and they fall out. Now you
wonder if forty five and forty two it turns into
seven games under five hundred at the deadline, to suddenly
(13:46):
that makes show Hao Tani available that you know, that's
one of the big things coming out of this is
now it's July fourth, right, because we know this, Because
it's fourth of July, you have twenty seven more days
to stay in the race and stay afloat or you
have to look to we need to move on because
Otani's walking away at the end. As long as they're
in contention, he's gonna stay. Right, they're not gonna let
(14:06):
him go. They're not gonna hey, yeah, we're three years
that ah, we gotta dump them. No, they will keep
him through the end of the year. That's not that's
not a question. But if they're not going to do it,
don't you kind of have to. So now you got
twenty seven days to show that you can stay in
the race if you're the Angels.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Yeah, it's the curiosity. We've talked about it for a while.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
If you're viable and moving forward, and I think Moreno
and company they're their resolve that they're not going to
be the team that trade him because what's commensurate value? Right,
Obviously the threat of losing him for nothing, Uh, that's
the all right, you put it on him to a degree,
because what are you gonna get here. Here's fifteen prospects
(14:44):
and one guy who's quasi major league ready or something
of that ill because is the type of trade you're
gonna end up getting back at this point. So do
you just hope that you've shown enough love and he
likes playing in Anaheim and what's there? And obviously a
very tough situation losing Trout, as you said, not having
(15:05):
a typical Trout season. The schedule as we look at
it for the month of July, second half stuff coming
out of next week's break, Houston and the Yankees get
things started, then you have the Pirates and the Tigers
Toronto and you'll be starting a series with Atlanta. When
(15:26):
you've got to make that decision ultimately of whatever deal
might be proffered, but certainly it changes the math on
this at least to where it becomes that much of
a consideration. Again, whereas two weeks ago it seemed, hey,
it's done, he'll finish the year and we'll go forward.
At least have to take calls and see what's offered.
(15:47):
But again, trying to find something that's commensurate with the player.
You're just getting rid of him for the sake of
getting rid of him. I'd rather take my shot and
then lose him in free agent and see if that's
the way it works, because there's only gonna be several
teams you're competing with on that front.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine On Fox eight seven, seven,
nine nine six sixty three six nine, Jason Smith Mike
Harmon in for Doug Gottlieb today. Coming up next, we'll
break down all the latest and NBA free agency. Did
the Lakers really do the best job out of anybody?
What could be next for James Harden? What could be
next as we look Nick to stop putting that out
(16:25):
in the universe. It's not gonna happen. Stop, stop all
of you at James Harden to the next. No oh no,
no no no, no Chris being no no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not happening. No, I'm gonna keep saying no to get
that to Negate your You're putting that out in the
No no, no, no, no, not happening, not happening.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
No, God, please, no.
Speaker 3 (16:44):

(17:38):
still amazed at Joey Chestnuts saving the fourth of July
sixty two hot Dogs two once again Roll two the
Nathan's hot dog eating title owner of the mustard Belt.
We also have big news and NBA free agency joining
us now in the hotline to break it down. Nobody
better than a man who I don't know if I'm
going out in a limb here with a hot take.
(17:59):
He may have the tweet of free agency so far
as after Malik Beasley signing a day ago, Dan wyk
La Times NBA Inside or Extraordinaire put out this bit
of info that I'll never forget the time Malik Beasley's
kid came into the Lakers locker room, took a piece
of ice out of a d's foot bucket and went
to eat it while everyone in the room yelled no,
(18:21):
he didn't eat the ice. Another reminder that it truly
takes a village that's like Buddy the else drop into
his knees going no. And now we bring in the
man the offense of that tweet, It is Dan Wake,
what's up, dub guys?
Speaker 9 (18:36):
It was a maybe one of my top five favorite
moments of last season seeing that happen. Adorable, adorable, little
boy waddling into the locker room, going around giving every
high five, and then you see, if I can, like
and here's the thing. Like people thought like, oh, you're
dragging the kids and stuff. No, like that is what
a three year old would do. When I growing up
(19:00):
in Chicago, there was a sports bar named the Charlie Horse,
Great sports far names, and I remember very vividly going
there with my father, going to the bathroom and seeing
a trough full of ice and thinking, oh wow, unlimited ice.
Not aware that this was some sort of flush saving measure.
(19:22):
I didn't know. I was stopped because again, it takes
a village the trough.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I think the one thing that was missing was
the age of the kid. Like I think people actually
that his thirty four year old kid came in. I'm
gonna start eating nice? Why not because I ate Ie
not I cankue that it was probably a little kid,
but you know, maybe that's what it was. But I
think you won free agency with that tweet. That's the
best tweet of free agency.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Well, I think Fred Vanswiet might have one up on me.
But you know, I think there's a couple other guys
that I would probably trade places within free agency, I.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Would say, and Leat and Halliburton are the two pros
that really got it right, with Halliburton using the million
dollar man.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Oh well it is. I mean, who knew that Tyre's
Halliburton was such a was such just a just a
wonderful tweeter. I mean I probably should have known. Yeah,
I say this, and I know this is America's Day,
the fourth of July. I just hope he doesn't just
like waste to wait to Diana. I hope we like
really enjoy this guy.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Indiana's America's heartland. What is wrong with you? Dan Wyke?
What is the fourth of July? Man?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's real?
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Quick, words are fording. I love that you guys played
me in with Forts and Son very high in my
favorite list of songs that sound patriotic that just probably
really aren't that patriotic.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It was more of the Forrest Gump callback. But but no,
I get it with that. I get it. I get
it with that.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
So I have one other story for you guys. I
have one other story for you guys, just kind of
really that I think you guys will.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Enjoy this eating ice again.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
I know it's about America's heartland. Oh. During the NBA
playoffs this year, I went and saw John Mellencamp perform
in Memphis, Tennessee. Right, And while we were with with
a couple of other reporters, and while we were in
line to get a drink like in the theater, this
gentleman comes up and slaps one of us on the
(21:19):
back and says, you all boys from Indiana and so
now so everywhere. One one of the guys I was
with us from Cleveland goes, I'm from Cleveland, and the
guy goes Cleveland. Which one Tennessee or Mississippi. Yeah, I
just want to say, I am no coastal elite. I
got I understood what exactly what you're talking about? And yeah, anyways,
(21:44):
did you say no the other one? There's the other one, Cleveland, Texas?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, Cleveland, Cleveland, Texas. I'm actually my name is Cleveland.
I'm sorry. I'm Grover Cleveland. I was former president and
a pitcher. I forget all right. So hey, so as
we get ready here in free agency, everybody's everybody's wondering
what's gonna happen with Damian Lillard. The Lakers made a
lot of great moves Uh, what are you What do
you think is going to happen when it's all said
and done.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
I mean, it certainly seems like he's gonna land in
Miad and I question that. I question how good that
is for the Blazers. I have a hard time thinking
that that is the best possible deal out there. I
think they're well within their rights to creat Damian Lillard
to any franchise that they want. That they owe it
(22:31):
to themselves and their fans to get the best possible deal.
That this isn't about spite that this isn't about loyalty,
like they've shown loyalty. You want to know how they've
shown loyalty. Damian Lillard is gonna make nine thousand million
dollars you know over the life of this contract, like
they gave him that deal. He's going to make sixty
(22:52):
million dollars in a couple of years, Like no hyperbolieve
like that. That's that's the loyalty, right If that means
you have to lay back, well in the city that's
not Miami, Like I'm sorry, like you know, and I'm sorry,
Like we have to do what's right for us. And
I think that should be their focus and their goal,
(23:13):
but it does that they have been incredibly loyal to
They may at every step, you know, like what they
will try to do is similar to what happened with
Anthony Davis. And here's a little bit of a different
situation because Anthony Davis had it contract leverage and like,
I won't sign there, I won't sign there. But I mean,
you know, when you're hearing things like the court that
David Will only wants to play in Miami and stuff
(23:34):
like that, I mean, I just I don't know. I
would hate for It's made me not want to see
him end up the Sea.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
I would like.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Portland to shop him and get a better deal. I mean,
maybe the best deal is from Miami. I doubt it.
I think there's a better deal to be had from Brooklyn.
I think there's a better deal potentially we had from Boston.
Maybe there's a better deal to be had from San
Antonio or Utah or you know, any of those places
(24:06):
and more. And I really hope they end up doing it,
But I mean they're really they've really signaled Miami, and
Miami's really set up for it, and they've been setting
up for this for a couple of weeks now seems
like the path of East results.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, just give him a rocking chair and send him
on his way. So I asked this from my friend
Jason Smith. Here is James Harden more likely to become
a Clipper or a Nick Clipper?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
All right? Dan wakey, Dan Dan Dan Dan.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Dan Dan Dan shrunk. I mean, I just think that,
you know, again, speaking of market sizes and stuff like that,
and and and I'm sorry, market for a player, it
just seems like, again like the Clippers of the team
that where this will land, or Philadelphia. Quite frankly, I mean,
it does seem like this could be repaired to in
(24:57):
that way. But but I just I don't know. The
people I've talked to him said the Nicks and christ
is maybe a little overstated. He's certainly divisive. I mean,
he's a divisive player, right, Like thirty front offices about
James Harden, including the sixers, You're gonna hear sixty opinions.
You know, it just is that's that's the truth, right, Like,
(25:18):
I mean, there are people who love the way he
plays basketball and want nothing to do with him, and
then there are people who look at him and see
his you know, I mean the analytics and the statistics,
and you know, he wins you a ton of regular
season games with the way he plays. He can close
the game. He's a tremendous passer, you know, and still
has some offensive punch. But I just it seems to
(25:42):
me like the Clippers of the landing spot. They are
pretty far down their road, and like Phoenix, when you're
in that situation, like you can you know, I mean,
you can just kind of keep pressing. I think I
think that's sort of the way you do it. It
seems weird to be like to try your line in
the sand. Now, you know, a new building in Anglo's
(26:04):
coping next year and saying, you know what, that's it.
We're not trying. It keeps through the time that you
really put your foot to the gat And so I
think they'll eventually do what they need to do to
get this done. If the trade ever materializes. That's not
I would, you know, I think there's a real chance
he hands up second.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So Dan Wiki, La Times NBA Insider, our guest here
on Fox Sports Radio, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, All right, now,
the Lakers added approximately twenty three players to their roster
in the last four days of free agency a lot,
and you know, not as many power forwards as I
would have liked. But you know what, this is what we.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Get, said Skipson, how dare they Have they.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Done enough to close the gap with the Nuggets or
anybody else who might be at the top of the
Western Conference?
Speaker 9 (26:50):
Honestly, No, I want you to lie to us here.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Told Userty told us you don't like Indiana. I mean,
come on, keep telling the truth now.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
I don't think so. I mean, I think like this
answer has nuanced, right. I think they did about as
good as they could do, and I think a lot
is gonna have to go right for them to beat
the Nuggets. Nuggets got worse, and I think that's helpful.
I think that that kind of brings them back to
the gap, the closes the gap a little bit. I mean,
I think Phoenix did a really good job, you know.
I like generally what Memphis has done so far. I mean,
(27:22):
we'll see where Dallas is at. I think the West
can be pretty good. But yeah, no, I mean, I
like the Lakers had limited mechanisms. They had two really
stated goals, and it was to retain their young players
and improve on the fringes right, and so they used
you know, the rights that they had to to retain
(27:43):
you know, Austin Reeves. They you know, they played the
strict free agency really while they suppressed his market, they
made it so like there really wasn't an opportunity for
a team to overpay him. They signed, they would match anyway,
so he didn't get an offer. They keep him at
a great number. They've resigned ends with us, had a
good number of easy contract potentially trade if they need
to later ruey Hotch Murram, maybe a switch of an overpay.
(28:06):
But you know, he's played really well for them, and
I know they think highly of him. And then you
go out in sort of the other ends of free agency,
and you know, Gabe Vincent is, you know, coming off
of starting in the NBA finals, you know, tough minded,
two way player. Torrian Flint is a good shooter with
good size, and you know, seems like the kind of
(28:27):
player that would sub seed around Lebron James. And then
you you hit the minimum market a little bit, you
take some swings cam brettish Jackson as you know, young
players kind of what they did last year with Ronnie
Walker and Troy Brown, like kind of lottery level talents
who didn't get extended and maybe in Ruy Hotch Murr
by the way, on that list too, and then you
you take a swing at those guys and maybe hit
(28:49):
and I and I think they got better. But you know,
it's just it's we've we've had this conversation guys with
five years sake, right, like you know everything hinges on
Lebron James and Anthony datis being healthy. And I mean
that's not a Joey Chestnut level.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
That nicely done because those people did eventually get to
cash out.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
For It's more like it's more like betting on eater.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
X instead of racer X.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I like that.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Well that's good.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
We we we have the randomness h thrown there in
did you get all excited about Summer League starting?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:24):
Guys, you know I would never be one to smirch
someone else in the media. I will say I did
hear the terms heat culture mentioned too many times for
my liking guris during a Summerleague broadcast.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
What was the over under, what did you what did
you set it at? And however early did it cash?
Speaker 9 (29:39):
It was like Joey chess nuts. Okay, all right, it
is like you take the heat, you take the culture,
you spread apart, you dip them both in water and
then shove them out there. I think, no, it was fun.
I mean it was fun to see chat back on
the court, and I think, you know, like it went
about the way you'd expect it to little rusty, you know,
(30:01):
and then you plan it. I would I would caution
everyone with Summer League to take a deep breath. You know,
generally speaking, Summer league results some league play that doesn't
always tie into how a player will perform in the NBA.
I think the way that I tend to watch Summer
League guys is like you look for like you want
(30:21):
the flashes, right like you want to see you know,
like a Tuana black room chat where like gets his
legs underneath him and you're like, oh yeah, okay, like
all right, that's good. You know he's getting you know,
he's playing with a little more confidence you want to see.
You know, when I watched Dylan or just you know,
with the Lakers the other day, it was like about
how he controlled pace. I was like, oh yeah, I
(30:41):
see that, Like you know, like the shot making needs work,
like obviously, right, Like, and see the same thing with
Brandon Miller's with the decision making needs work on the court,
you know, and that stuff will come through time. But
but yeah, no, I mean I like, I generally like
summer league guys. I like seeing coaches and shorts and soolos.
It is a great look, you know, real relaxed and
(31:04):
uh and it's it's fun to see the it's fun
to see the established NBA stars like roll through. Usually
it happens in Vegas only the first weekend, and then
it's sort of like like the guys who show up
we kind of won, are like your headliners, and then
like you know, it gradually like moves like up, like
up the card a little the middle of the week.
(31:26):
But yeah, no, it's a good time and it's basketball
and it'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Over your acts us joy when you can get a
respected member of the media with a Bachelor of Arts
and Journalism, someone who has been honored by the Pro
Basketball Writers Association to tell you in an interview, do
you want me to lie to you? It is.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
They're winning. They're they're winning it all.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, Lakers are back and they beat Indiana, right, they
beat Indiana, right, there would be.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
The papers and three it can be like the they're
gonna make him say matay like a blood spot situation.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
We'll talk to you, buddy, awesome stuff. Dan wy wyt
me to lie to you. Yes, I watch you to
lie to me. And now a guy who's never gonna
lie to you because it would be a lot of
trouble because he's supposed to give the right and score.
It's Isaac Lowan Crown who's got what's trending in the
wide world.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Sports, especially fellas, because we've got such huge Major League
Baseball news today. Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trott has
been diagnosed with a broken left wrist and has been
placed on the injured list. And get this, the reeling
San Diego Padres have just designated veteran d H Nelson
Cruz four assignment. Earlier today, the Cincinnati Reds one in
(32:44):
Washington eight to four. Rookie Ellie day La Cruz went
four for four, so did Spencer Steers. Cincinnati's Jonathan India
homered in back to back at bats. Right now, the
Yankees are four to three lead over the Orioles headed
to the bottom of the seventh inning. Despite Aaron homering
against his former team in Miami. The Marlins now lead
the Cardinals eleven to nothing at the top of the eighth,
(33:06):
the Texas Rangers a six to one lead over the
Red Sox at Fenway in the top of the eighth,
and the Minnesota Twins up six to two over the
Kansas City Royals in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
Elsewhere in the annual tragic commentary on our society known
as Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You need to do this, in the Paxton Whitehead voice
of in the Hot Dog Eating Contest, mister.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Melon, you have speaking of America. You Jason, have turned
America against me. After your withering criticism earlier, My mentions
are now full of hot dog loving trolls, including one
individual who tweeted at me quote, you're the worst worst spelled.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
With a u ah.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
There you go. See. Now you know you've made it.
You've made it, Isaaca loh and kron Hey.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Joey Chestnut won the Gentleman's Division by eating sixty two
hot dogs. In fact, fellas, here is how it sounded
when Chestnut polished off his final dog.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Six Oops.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Sorry, guys, I pressed the wrong button there. That was
actually Joe Buck's call of Mark Maguire hitting number sixty
two in the memorable nineteen ninety eight season.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Anyway, I was gonna say that crowd of Coney Island
sounded real, but much bigger crowd than you see on TV.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Absolutely, it must have been a sellout. Anyway, for Chestnut,
it was his eighth straight win and his sixteenth overall.
When asked for comment, Chestnut said, oh, hou hord wrong. Anyway,
on that note back to you.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
We went over this. It's American hero Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
We went over there coming on the show now.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Legend, Yeah, I forget it now now him and the
Mustard Belton.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
I'm sure you guys are relishing every bit of the
aftermath of chest nuts victory.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Thank you very much. I love appreciate it. We have
the Joey Chestnut game coming up in about fifteen minutes.
Stuff that I found that I can't I can't wait
to play this game. But straight ahead. Hey, Oh by
the way, speaking of NBA and free agency, do we
have something to tell you about that happened last night?
This is Fox Sports Radio.

Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
The podcast is called All Ball.
Speaker 10 (35:54):
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people their
sport and all the interesting interactions along the way. We
talked to coaches, we talked to players, We tell you stories.
You download it, you listen to it.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I think you like it.
Speaker 10 (36:11):
Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Fox Sports Radio. It is a Doug Gottlieb Show. Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon in for Doug today and coming up in
twenty five minutes, we'll get into a couple of big
injuries in Major League Baseball. Clayton Kirscher now Mike Trout.
We now know how long he's gonna be out, and
it's gonna be quite a while. But we saw something
last night in Summer League that we saw last year
(36:44):
for all too briefly. We saw chet On the floor again.
Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City star who of course took Summer
League by storm. Look at this, the guy is gonna
block ten shots a game and hit threes. He's gonna
set the world on its ear. Foot injury kept them
out last year, returns and has a pretty big night
(37:05):
fifteen points, nine boards, four blocks. You see a lot
of his highlights have been trending on social media over
the course of the last few hours. It looks very
much like it was last year, and certainly he and
Webbin Yama are the guys that everybody's got their eye on.
Look At how unbelievably talented these guys are. As big men,
you know, these are seven footers that are all that.
(37:26):
Both run the floor like Giannis and may wind up
being better than Yannis when it's all said and done.
But they both have something in common might that you know.
We talked about this with Webn Yama, and I feel
like we have to extend this to Holmegrid is that
they should both be on strict minutes restrictions for the season,
right because the fan bases for both of these teams,
they're just happy they have them, right, and it doesn't
(37:49):
matter Okay, if we're if we're we're not thinking we're
gonna win the title this year, but we're happy to
have exciting players. We like watching and seeing them play.
The number one thing is you gotta make sure these
guys whose bodies are not quite NBA bang around for
sixty five games a season that they get there. Now.
Homegren's put on some weight from last year, which is good,
(38:09):
but still this is gonna be his first go round,
and you want to make sure that guys like Homegren
and Webb Yama they get into the league and they
don't wind up getting hurt early because it's too much
too soon. I would almost say that they should have
like a twenty minute restriction per night to start the season,
and then it goes up incrementally as as the year
goes on, just to get them used to playing in
(38:31):
sixty sixty five Gamesause, not only have these guys not
done that, they also haven't played, you know, a schedule
like this. Homegroun hasn't played in the year, and when
Benyama's playing schedule, the professional schedule in France and everything else,
no one's done that. They haven't had the rigors of
that yet, So I would almost say you got to
do that, give you that strict ten minutes in the
first half, ten minutes in the second half, you got
to call a time out to let him out, get
(38:52):
him out of the game. You call a time out
and get him out of the game.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
Well, certainly he got to see a little bit.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
And as we talk with Dan Woiki, right, you don't
get over excited, right, you try not to about what
you see in summer league, but it does wet the
appetite for what could be and home grin a guy
on both ends of the court with that aptitude. Now
he's already got the foot injury in the wrong column.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Right.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
We always talk about big guys and their limbs, their
joints and making sure you're protecting there and hoping the
body fills out sooner rather than later. But go back
to the beginning of Joel Embiid's career, there were a
lot of questions was he going to be able to
make it? Well, now he's the defending league MVP. Who
wants to play with them? That's a whole other question.
But when we look at minutes restrictions, load management all
(39:38):
for it. You know, when min Yama is schedule in France,
they played forty four games. You're still almost doubling that.
And if you make the playoffs, so all bets are off.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Right.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
As for Oklahoma City, they're an interesting roster. A lot
of young talent there, led by Gildess Alexander, but curious
as to the overall goals are of trying to push
because this guy could be a good one for a
good decade. Plus, don't want to potentially suffer that relapse
so soon.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah, I don't think anybody's gonna care. Yeah, I don't
think anybody's gonna care. Oh what are you doing with
this guy? No, we've seen so many big men get hurt.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
I think they got the guys in the locker room
that are looking at their basketball montality too though.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
Yeah, but well let's say I want to play for something.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yeah but okay, Well you're in Oklahoma City and San Antonio,
two bottom feeder teams. Right, Let's be honest. They're looking
to find their way back. This is kind of what
this year is going to be. We can't we can't
go crazy and as time goes on and they can
merit more playing time, Yeah, sure, let's do it, but
we know what the goals are, and that's to make
sure this guy is healthy and he's a lynchpin for
us for a decade plus when we start winning championship's
(40:46):
not gonna happen this year.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
Yeah, I want that Jordan return right where it was.
Fourteen minutes, fifteen minutes, sixteen minutes. All right, you're up
to thirty two minutes. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I'm really like two weeks to ramp.
Come on, I'm telling you for chet and and Whenbenya
needs a new nickname, I mean Wenby. Wenby is not
a great nickname, just short in his name.
Speaker 8 (41:03):
It's bad nick the big fragile

It is American hero, Joey Chestnutt and his sixteenth championship.
It is not just hey, Joey chestnut but it is
American hero. He saved the Fourth of July. There was rain,
all by himself, just like Bruce Willis did and every
movie he's ever done. He saved Fourth of July. He
stayed there was gonna be no contest. It was raining.
(01:31):
He said blight that we're gonna do it. They We're
gonna cancel fireworks all across the country. They were gonna
cancel the fourth I mean people actually come into work
in the afternoon. And he saved it by winning the
hot dog eating contest. And he's reduced to just a
mention at the end of euro update. Oh, by the way,
Joey Chestnutt, you treat his name, You put respect on
his name.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
You know, Jason, I studied under a Pulitzerprise winning journalist.
I can only wonder what he would think of me
reporting on the Nathan's hot Dog eating contest.
Speaker 6 (02:03):
Good thing he's dead, Wow, good thing? Yeah, that escalated quickly.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
Here we're talking about a guy who said, you know what,
we will not be felled. I will not allow those
people that bet four thousand dollars to win twenty five
cents to have those bets go on cash today. No,
we are going to have a competition. We're gonna make
it work. You saw those sad sex standing out there
in the rain with their cigarettes drenched, dangling from their lips,
(02:35):
just hoping to see a glimpse of these sixteen time
champion You know, you guys.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Today we celebrate our Independence Day.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
You guys actually are honestly right about this, because during
the lightning delay, people were freaking out on social media,
including a gentleman named Joe who tweeted and I quote,
we didn't revolt against the British so that one day
we would cancel the hot dog eating contest day.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
You wait it out, man, You wait it out, or
you take it indoors to a Nathan's down the street.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
There has to be a competition right on a July fourth.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Yeah, but hang on, I want to go back because
usually harm you're the guy that goes dark and mentions
dead people.
Speaker 7 (03:18):
I celebrate life. He was glad he was dead. I
celebrate histories.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah. Here here's a here's a guy, Isaac long crome
that you have. You know, it was really great to you,
and you said, you're glad he's dead. What is that?
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Oh, he'd be glad if he knew that I was
reporting on the Nathan's hot dog eating context.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Well, then he's a snob and put him in his
place is what should have happened.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
He already is in his place.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Wow. Wow, he doubled down.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
He grabbed another shovelful.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I'm picturing your dad. I'm picturing this. This person's being
packed in whitehead from the Back to School movie. You
just died a couple of weeks ago. We are not
going to report on such snobbery as hot dog.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
You're really You're actually on the right track, Jason. You
are on the right track.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
So it's about right.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Wow.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
Yeah, I mean I got to watch it.
Speaker 7 (04:11):
I mean, now you're doing your Valdemort and Harry Potter
is dead.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Laugh.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
In addition to I Low, I'm joe positivity over here.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Yeah, I mean, Isaac, that just got really dark, really fat.
Speaker 8 (04:22):
I don't know how we would recover from that one, Guys.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I don't know, but you luckily we don't have to
because Joey Chestnut is saving it for us.
Speaker 7 (04:28):
We did, I mean even march through the rain pumping
his fist ready to go, said at the end, I
mean the under cash so easy.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Yeah, that was a pretty easy bet. I mean it
went down the hot dog eating contest. That was a
pretty easy bet.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
It went from the delay.
Speaker 7 (04:43):
I mean we talked to Todd Furman on Friday, the
question of air quality, humidity, all of those things factoring in,
but then you have the delays. So the total actually
moved from seventy two and a half to seventy one
and a half, and it was never challenged. Why because
there's such a gap between first and second place? Why
push yourself? You can go and have, as he said,
(05:03):
a liquid diet with some beers.
Speaker 6 (05:05):
A little later on, I.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
See, I don't think it's a liquid diet. I think
like it's beer. I think that's gonna be his diet tonight.
He said, I have room for some beer tonight every one.
So I think that's what it's going to do.
Speaker 8 (05:14):
Bud Light still count as beer.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
It's still everything still counts.
Speaker 7 (05:17):
I don't know what that rebranding and purposing. Travis Kelsey adds,
and it was all over the WWE pay per view.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
It's gonna be Bud with two d's bud the light. Yeah, no,
it's different. It's different. It's a bud to the light.
That's what we have right now.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
When you hit an obstacle and you have something in
the road that is stopping you from moving full fours ahead,
whether it's in your personal life, relationships, or in business.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
What do you do? You pivot And that's what they did.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
I will just say this. In the history of sports. Yeah,
in the history of sports, the Yankees have the most
championships with twenty seven, the Montreal Canadians the second most
with twenty three. In third the Lakers and the Celtics
with seventeen, and then is Joey Chestnut with sixteen. He
(06:06):
is coming for the Celtics and Lakers next year. In
the next two years, he will pass the Celtics and
Lakers and only have the Canadians and the Yankees to
try to get to. Now he's thirty nine, he even said,
I'm getting older now I'm thirty nine. I think it's
kind of like that. This is the equivalent of, Hey,
will Tiger catch Jack when you're counting majors. He's getting older,
(06:27):
He's gonna get there. Will Joey chesnutt catch the Yankees.
He's got sixteen Joey ches and the Yankees have twenty seven.
Will he catch the Yankees? Well?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
Depending on the math, though, Jason, I mean, you're also
forgetting John Cena. And we don't know what the true
count is Rick Flair because he won everywhere he went.
They claim sixteen times, but that's just WWE ANDWA back
in the day.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, it doesn't matter. He's gonna blow past Rick Flair
next year. He's got sixteen already, doesn't matter.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
Yeah, I mean he goes as long as he wants.
I mean, it's and it, dude. I did like that.
Speaker 7 (07:00):
My mana the announcer whose name I should know by now.
But when he took off his carnival barking straw hat
for a moment he was wearing one to for an
ant acid as he went to the announcement, I'm like,
good for you.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Yeah. No, that dude, that dude needs more run. I've
said it for years, that dude needs more ic. His
intros are amazing. It's like it's like he's introducing people
who were going to fight a war against an alien species.
These are the people who are gonna protect our planet.
As they fly off in the most dangerous mission of
their lives. Oh you say in nineteen ninety six when
(07:36):
he saved the aliens the first time, that was the
only time we need to call on Will Smith. Then
it was years later. I mean that's kind of how
he speaks, no question about it. How has he not
gotten like more run? How has he not gotten more
more famous? I don't understand. I mean this is this
is not like it's his first year doing He's been
doing it for a while now.
Speaker 7 (07:53):
I really you know, I started diving in. I'm only
two episodes in, but there's now a multi part document
around the history of American gladiators. How about we resurrect
that and make him our announcer? Oh, the Battle of
the Network Stars and make him our announcer.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, but do people really watch network TV if people
know who a lot of those people are anymore?
Speaker 7 (08:13):
I mean we bring in I mean, look, network is uh,
I can use the term loosely. Now we we make
that a a small.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
N Yeah, dude, it would be have to be Battle
of the Streaming Stars, because you know anybody these and
so and so are you from Gray's Anatomy or n
C I S or wait, which are you from?
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Which are which are the actual networks team up at
this point, then there's an actual team's steam.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Which are these interchangeable cop police procedural Are you or
or or Gray's Anatomy? Are you from?
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Like?
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Which of these? I don't know? I'm sorry.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
I mean there's one one team representing all the Chicago
shows that are at NBC.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Maybe that's how you do it. Maybe that's it. Instead
of Battle Network stars, it's cops versus police versus lawyers.
Right that those of the three networks.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
At least lawyers and the doctors.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
That's the holy trinity of TV shows. They keep going
back to you got cops, you got you got lawyers,
and you have doctors. Like those are three shows that
for fifty years people have wanted. That's kind of how
you have it now. I'm on the doctor team, I'm
on the lawyer team, I'm on the cop team. And
that's how you do it. That's how we rebrand it,
I mean.
Speaker 7 (09:19):
And then we bring in William Peterson and Sam Waterston.
They give us each one really good one liners and
then go off as the competition gets underway.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
Guys, is Independence Day only the tenth most American movies
ever made.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Well, because you have every Rocky movie.
Speaker 8 (09:34):
I mean, that's way more after Top Gun came in
at one.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Top well, Top Gun is because Top Gun is one
of the greatest movies of all time, and Top Gun
Maverick is even better than the first one.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Why are you disrespecting our president?
Speaker 3 (09:45):
What do you got man? Because listen, you had a
movie with Tom Cruise, okay, and then you had a
movie with Bill Pullman. Come on, man, Bill Pullman is
the president? Come on, ye I mean really, come on, man,
that's crazy. I mean Bill Pullman as the president. As
the president Bill.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Pullman, Yeah, he was an awesome president.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
No, he wasn't he was he was. He was the
He was the dude from Spaceballs who was down dressed yourself.
Come on, man, I I can't. I couldn't buy him
as the president.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Ratings by flying in F sixteen to defeat Aliens?
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Does anyone have any Yeah? And what happened? He had
no missiles left. We had to rely on Randy Quaid
to save the cut spoiler.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Come on, man, give away the whole movie while you're
at it.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Isn't isn't it? Randy Quaid? Like squatting in a house somewhere.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
You know, we we we just leave him alone.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I mean, come on, man, you can't.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
There's a lot to talk about there.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
The President runs out of missiles and Randy Quaid's gotta say,
I mean, come on, I mean Top Top Gun easily
number one. Yes, you know, the top Gun, Rocky Top
Gun and Rocky. I would say, the big.
Speaker 8 (10:44):
One about Team America World Police Man. That's got to be.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Oh that's a big one. That's that's in the top five,
that's the top talent.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Red Dawn.
Speaker 3 (10:52):
Oh yeah, the original record, yeah.
Speaker 8 (10:56):
Four, Apollo thirteen, that's America.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, yeah, kind of is.
Speaker 8 (11:03):
What about Captain America? The first event?
Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, no, no, no, no. First Avenger was boring. You
get you gotta get it. Got into Civil War boring,
you gotta get the Winter Soldier in Civil War. First
of America was boring.
Speaker 8 (11:14):
Oh what do you know about Marvel?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It was so boring. No, no, no, you have to
you have to get to the later ones. Give me
the later ones, and I'm there with you.
Speaker 8 (11:21):
I'm hit Mel Gibson. But what about the Patriot?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
That was too It's a good one.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So long.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah, that's a good one too. I mean, if you're
the president, you also hunt vampires. I mean that's pretty fad.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I mean he was fighting against uh my man Malfoy
in the Patriots, so I mean, come on, oh.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
If you could defeat the Fed, the family Malfoy. Yeah, okay,
all right, I'm with you on that one. I'm with you.

(12:17):
Now this has just come in in the last couple
of minutes, says we'll get back to I got a
great Joey Chestnut game that we're gonna play later on this.
I have an awesome Joey Chestnut game. But it looks
like the Angels are going to have to navigate through
the trade deadline and beyond without Mike Trout, who was
just placed on the injured list by the Angels a
(12:40):
few minutes ago a fractured hammet bone in his wrist
from last night when he left the game after injuring
it on a swing. He said, you know what, it
doesn't feel good. These are injuries, according to Bob Nightingale,
that normally take four to eight weeks to heal. So
you're talking about the entirety of July and probably August
without Mike Trout. That the Angels have to stay afloat
(13:02):
and stay in playoff contention and order to keep show
Hao Tani actually with the team through the trade deadline.
Right now, the Angels three games over five hundred, so
they're in the thick of the wildcard chase. They're not
in a wildcard, but there are only three games behind.
There are a bunch of teams, a gaggle of teams
that are right around two, three, four, five games behind.
But this is now getting to be even more difficult
(13:24):
because if something happens here, Mike and you get to
the end of the deadline. If the Angels wind up
losing a ton of games in a row and it's
not like Mike Trout is having a typical Mike Trout
type season, but it's still you're missing Mike Trout if
suddenly they start losing and they fall out. Now you
wonder if forty five and forty two it turns into
seven games under five hundred at the deadline, to suddenly
(13:46):
that makes show Hao Tani available that you know, that's
one of the big things coming out of this is
now it's July fourth, right, because we know this, Because
it's fourth of July, you have twenty seven more days
to stay in the race and stay afloat or you
have to look to we need to move on because
Otani's walking away at the end. As long as they're
in contention, he's gonna stay. Right, they're not gonna let
(14:06):
him go. They're not gonna hey, yeah, we're three years
that ah, we gotta dump them. No, they will keep
him through the end of the year. That's not that's
not a question. But if they're not going to do it,
don't you kind of have to. So now you got
twenty seven days to show that you can stay in
the race if you're the Angels.
Speaker 6 (14:19):
Yeah, it's the curiosity. We've talked about it for a while.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
If you're viable and moving forward, and I think Moreno
and company they're their resolve that they're not going to
be the team that trade him because what's commensurate value? Right,
Obviously the threat of losing him for nothing, Uh, that's
the all right, you put it on him to a degree,
because what are you gonna get here. Here's fifteen prospects
(14:44):
and one guy who's quasi major league ready or something
of that ill because is the type of trade you're
gonna end up getting back at this point. So do
you just hope that you've shown enough love and he
likes playing in Anaheim and what's there? And obviously a
very tough situation losing Trout, as you said, not having
(15:05):
a typical Trout season. The schedule as we look at
it for the month of July, second half stuff coming
out of next week's break, Houston and the Yankees get
things started, then you have the Pirates and the Tigers
Toronto and you'll be starting a series with Atlanta. When
(15:26):
you've got to make that decision ultimately of whatever deal
might be proffered, but certainly it changes the math on
this at least to where it becomes that much of
a consideration. Again, whereas two weeks ago it seemed, hey,
it's done, he'll finish the year and we'll go forward.
At least have to take calls and see what's offered.
(15:47):
But again, trying to find something that's commensurate with the player.
You're just getting rid of him for the sake of
getting rid of him. I'd rather take my shot and
then lose him in free agent and see if that's
the way it works, because there's only gonna be several
teams you're competing with on that front.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine On Fox eight seven, seven,
nine nine six sixty three six nine, Jason Smith Mike
Harmon in for Doug Gottlieb today. Coming up next, we'll
break down all the latest and NBA free agency. Did
the Lakers really do the best job out of anybody?
What could be next for James Harden? What could be
next as we look Nick to stop putting that out
(16:25):
in the universe. It's not gonna happen. Stop, stop all
of you at James Harden to the next. No oh no,
no no no, no Chris being no no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
not happening. No, I'm gonna keep saying no to get
that to Negate your You're putting that out in the
No no, no, no, no, not happening, not happening.
Speaker 2 (16:42):

still amazed at Joey Chestnuts saving the fourth of July
sixty two hot Dogs two once again Roll two the
Nathan's hot dog eating title owner of the mustard Belt.
We also have big news and NBA free agency joining
us now in the hotline to break it down. Nobody
better than a man who I don't know if I'm
going out in a limb here with a hot take.
(17:59):
He may have the tweet of free agency so far
as after Malik Beasley signing a day ago, Dan wyk
La Times NBA Inside or Extraordinaire put out this bit
of info that I'll never forget the time Malik Beasley's
kid came into the Lakers locker room, took a piece
of ice out of a d's foot bucket and went
to eat it while everyone in the room yelled no,
(18:21):
he didn't eat the ice. Another reminder that it truly
takes a village that's like Buddy the else drop into
his knees going no. And now we bring in the
man the offense of that tweet, It is Dan Wake,
what's up, dub guys?
Speaker 9 (18:36):
It was a maybe one of my top five favorite
moments of last season seeing that happen. Adorable, adorable, little
boy waddling into the locker room, going around giving every
high five, and then you see, if I can, like
and here's the thing. Like people thought like, oh, you're
dragging the kids and stuff. No, like that is what
a three year old would do. When I growing up
(19:00):
in Chicago, there was a sports bar named the Charlie Horse,
Great sports far names, and I remember very vividly going
there with my father, going to the bathroom and seeing
a trough full of ice and thinking, oh wow, unlimited ice.
Not aware that this was some sort of flush saving measure.
(19:22):
I didn't know. I was stopped because again, it takes
a village the trough.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, I think the one thing that was missing was
the age of the kid. Like I think people actually
that his thirty four year old kid came in. I'm
gonna start eating nice? Why not because I ate Ie
not I cankue that it was probably a little kid,
but you know, maybe that's what it was. But I
think you won free agency with that tweet. That's the
best tweet of free agency.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Well, I think Fred Vanswiet might have one up on me.
But you know, I think there's a couple other guys
that I would probably trade places within free agency, I.
Speaker 7 (19:59):
Would say, and Leat and Halliburton are the two pros
that really got it right, with Halliburton using the million
dollar man.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
Oh well it is. I mean, who knew that Tyre's
Halliburton was such a was such just a just a
wonderful tweeter. I mean I probably should have known. Yeah,
I say this, and I know this is America's Day,
the fourth of July. I just hope he doesn't just
like waste to wait to Diana. I hope we like
really enjoy this guy.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Indiana's America's heartland. What is wrong with you? Dan Wyke?
What is the fourth of July? Man?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
That's real?
Speaker 9 (20:33):
Quick, words are fording. I love that you guys played
me in with Forts and Son very high in my
favorite list of songs that sound patriotic that just probably
really aren't that patriotic.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It was more of the Forrest Gump callback. But but no,
I get it with that. I get it. I get
it with that.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
So I have one other story for you guys. I
have one other story for you guys, just kind of
really that I think you guys will.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Enjoy this eating ice again.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
I know it's about America's heartland. Oh. During the NBA
playoffs this year, I went and saw John Mellencamp perform
in Memphis, Tennessee. Right, And while we were with with
a couple of other reporters, and while we were in
line to get a drink like in the theater, this
gentleman comes up and slaps one of us on the
(21:19):
back and says, you all boys from Indiana and so
now so everywhere. One one of the guys I was
with us from Cleveland goes, I'm from Cleveland, and the
guy goes Cleveland. Which one Tennessee or Mississippi. Yeah, I
just want to say, I am no coastal elite. I
got I understood what exactly what you're talking about? And yeah, anyways,
(21:44):
did you say no the other one? There's the other one, Cleveland, Texas?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yeah, Cleveland, Cleveland, Texas. I'm actually my name is Cleveland.
I'm sorry. I'm Grover Cleveland. I was former president and
a pitcher. I forget all right. So hey, so as
we get ready here in free agency, everybody's everybody's wondering
what's gonna happen with Damian Lillard. The Lakers made a
lot of great moves Uh, what are you What do
you think is going to happen when it's all said
and done.
Speaker 9 (22:09):
I mean, it certainly seems like he's gonna land in
Miad and I question that. I question how good that
is for the Blazers. I have a hard time thinking
that that is the best possible deal out there. I
think they're well within their rights to creat Damian Lillard
to any franchise that they want. That they owe it
(22:31):
to themselves and their fans to get the best possible deal.
That this isn't about spite that this isn't about loyalty,
like they've shown loyalty. You want to know how they've
shown loyalty. Damian Lillard is gonna make nine thousand million
dollars you know over the life of this contract, like
they gave him that deal. He's going to make sixty
(22:52):
million dollars in a couple of years, Like no hyperbolieve
like that. That's that's the loyalty, right If that means
you have to lay back, well in the city that's
not Miami, Like I'm sorry, like you know, and I'm sorry,
Like we have to do what's right for us. And
I think that should be their focus and their goal,
(23:13):
but it does that they have been incredibly loyal to
They may at every step, you know, like what they
will try to do is similar to what happened with
Anthony Davis. And here's a little bit of a different
situation because Anthony Davis had it contract leverage and like,
I won't sign there, I won't sign there. But I mean,
you know, when you're hearing things like the court that
David Will only wants to play in Miami and stuff
(23:34):
like that, I mean, I just I don't know. I
would hate for It's made me not want to see
him end up the Sea.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
I would like.
Speaker 9 (23:44):
Portland to shop him and get a better deal. I mean,
maybe the best deal is from Miami. I doubt it.
I think there's a better deal to be had from Brooklyn.
I think there's a better deal potentially we had from Boston.
Maybe there's a better deal to be had from San
Antonio or Utah or you know, any of those places
(24:06):
and more. And I really hope they end up doing it,
But I mean they're really they've really signaled Miami, and
Miami's really set up for it, and they've been setting
up for this for a couple of weeks now seems
like the path of East results.
Speaker 7 (24:21):
Yeah, just give him a rocking chair and send him
on his way. So I asked this from my friend
Jason Smith. Here is James Harden more likely to become
a Clipper or a Nick Clipper?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
All right? Dan wakey, Dan Dan Dan Dan.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
Dan Dan Dan shrunk. I mean, I just think that,
you know, again, speaking of market sizes and stuff like that,
and and and I'm sorry, market for a player, it
just seems like, again like the Clippers of the team
that where this will land, or Philadelphia. Quite frankly, I mean,
it does seem like this could be repaired to in
(24:57):
that way. But but I just I don't know. The
people I've talked to him said the Nicks and christ
is maybe a little overstated. He's certainly divisive. I mean,
he's a divisive player, right, Like thirty front offices about
James Harden, including the sixers, You're gonna hear sixty opinions.
You know, it just is that's that's the truth, right, Like,
(25:18):
I mean, there are people who love the way he
plays basketball and want nothing to do with him, and
then there are people who look at him and see
his you know, I mean the analytics and the statistics,
and you know, he wins you a ton of regular
season games with the way he plays. He can close
the game. He's a tremendous passer, you know, and still
has some offensive punch. But I just it seems to
(25:42):
me like the Clippers of the landing spot. They are
pretty far down their road, and like Phoenix, when you're
in that situation, like you can you know, I mean,
you can just kind of keep pressing. I think I
think that's sort of the way you do it. It
seems weird to be like to try your line in
the sand. Now, you know, a new building in Anglo's
(26:04):
coping next year and saying, you know what, that's it.
We're not trying. It keeps through the time that you
really put your foot to the gat And so I
think they'll eventually do what they need to do to
get this done. If the trade ever materializes. That's not
I would, you know, I think there's a real chance
he hands up second.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So Dan Wiki, La Times NBA Insider, our guest here
on Fox Sports Radio, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, All right, now,
the Lakers added approximately twenty three players to their roster
in the last four days of free agency a lot,
and you know, not as many power forwards as I
would have liked. But you know what, this is what we.
Speaker 9 (26:36):
Get, said Skipson, how dare they Have they.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Done enough to close the gap with the Nuggets or
anybody else who might be at the top of the
Western Conference?
Speaker 9 (26:50):
Honestly, No, I want you to lie to us here.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Told Userty told us you don't like Indiana. I mean,
come on, keep telling the truth now.
Speaker 9 (26:58):
I don't think so. I mean, I think like this
answer has nuanced, right. I think they did about as
good as they could do, and I think a lot
is gonna have to go right for them to beat
the Nuggets. Nuggets got worse, and I think that's helpful.
I think that that kind of brings them back to
the gap, the closes the gap a little bit. I mean,
I think Phoenix did a really good job, you know.
I like generally what Memphis has done so far. I mean,
(27:22):
we'll see where Dallas is at. I think the West
can be pretty good. But yeah, no, I mean, I
like the Lakers had limited mechanisms. They had two really
stated goals, and it was to retain their young players
and improve on the fringes right, and so they used
you know, the rights that they had to to retain
(27:43):
you know, Austin Reeves. They you know, they played the
strict free agency really while they suppressed his market, they
made it so like there really wasn't an opportunity for
a team to overpay him. They signed, they would match anyway,
so he didn't get an offer. They keep him at
a great number. They've resigned ends with us, had a
good number of easy contract potentially trade if they need
to later ruey Hotch Murram, maybe a switch of an overpay.
(28:06):
But you know, he's played really well for them, and
I know they think highly of him. And then you
go out in sort of the other ends of free agency,
and you know, Gabe Vincent is, you know, coming off
of starting in the NBA finals, you know, tough minded,
two way player. Torrian Flint is a good shooter with
good size, and you know, seems like the kind of
(28:27):
player that would sub seed around Lebron James. And then
you you hit the minimum market a little bit, you
take some swings cam brettish Jackson as you know, young
players kind of what they did last year with Ronnie
Walker and Troy Brown, like kind of lottery level talents
who didn't get extended and maybe in Ruy Hotch Murr
by the way, on that list too, and then you
you take a swing at those guys and maybe hit
(28:49):
and I and I think they got better. But you know,
it's just it's we've we've had this conversation guys with
five years sake, right, like you know everything hinges on
Lebron James and Anthony datis being healthy. And I mean
that's not a Joey Chestnut level.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
That nicely done because those people did eventually get to
cash out.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
For It's more like it's more like betting on eater.
Speaker 6 (29:11):
X instead of racer X.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
I like that.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
Well that's good.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
We we we have the randomness h thrown there in
did you get all excited about Summer League starting?
Speaker 8 (29:23):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:24):
Guys, you know I would never be one to smirch
someone else in the media. I will say I did
hear the terms heat culture mentioned too many times for
my liking guris during a Summerleague broadcast.
Speaker 7 (29:35):
What was the over under, what did you what did
you set it at? And however early did it cash?
Speaker 9 (29:39):
It was like Joey chess nuts. Okay, all right, it
is like you take the heat, you take the culture,
you spread apart, you dip them both in water and
then shove them out there. I think, no, it was fun.
I mean it was fun to see chat back on
the court, and I think, you know, like it went
about the way you'd expect it to little rusty, you know,
(30:01):
and then you plan it. I would I would caution
everyone with Summer League to take a deep breath. You know,
generally speaking, Summer league results some league play that doesn't
always tie into how a player will perform in the NBA.
I think the way that I tend to watch Summer
League guys is like you look for like you want
(30:21):
the flashes, right like you want to see you know,
like a Tuana black room chat where like gets his
legs underneath him and you're like, oh yeah, okay, like
all right, that's good. You know he's getting you know,
he's playing with a little more confidence you want to see.
You know, when I watched Dylan or just you know,
with the Lakers the other day, it was like about
how he controlled pace. I was like, oh yeah, I
(30:41):
see that, Like you know, like the shot making needs work,
like obviously, right, Like, and see the same thing with
Brandon Miller's with the decision making needs work on the court,
you know, and that stuff will come through time. But
but yeah, no, I mean I like, I generally like
summer league guys. I like seeing coaches and shorts and soolos.
It is a great look, you know, real relaxed and
(31:04):
uh and it's it's fun to see the it's fun
to see the established NBA stars like roll through. Usually
it happens in Vegas only the first weekend, and then
it's sort of like like the guys who show up
we kind of won, are like your headliners, and then
like you know, it gradually like moves like up, like
up the card a little the middle of the week.
(31:26):
But yeah, no, it's a good time and it's basketball
and it'll be fun.
Speaker 3 (31:30):
Over your acts us joy when you can get a
respected member of the media with a Bachelor of Arts
and Journalism, someone who has been honored by the Pro
Basketball Writers Association to tell you in an interview, do
you want me to lie to you? It is.
Speaker 9 (31:46):
They're winning. They're they're winning it all.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, Lakers are back and they beat Indiana, right, they
beat Indiana, right, there would be.
Speaker 9 (31:55):
The papers and three it can be like the they're
gonna make him say matay like a blood spot situation.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
We'll talk to you, buddy, awesome stuff. Dan wy wyt
me to lie to you. Yes, I watch you to
lie to me. And now a guy who's never gonna
lie to you because it would be a lot of
trouble because he's supposed to give the right and score.
It's Isaac Lowan Crown who's got what's trending in the
wide world.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Sports, especially fellas, because we've got such huge Major League
Baseball news today. Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trott has
been diagnosed with a broken left wrist and has been
placed on the injured list. And get this, the reeling
San Diego Padres have just designated veteran d H Nelson
Cruz four assignment. Earlier today, the Cincinnati Reds one in
(32:44):
Washington eight to four. Rookie Ellie day La Cruz went
four for four, so did Spencer Steers. Cincinnati's Jonathan India
homered in back to back at bats. Right now, the
Yankees are four to three lead over the Orioles headed
to the bottom of the seventh inning. Despite Aaron homering
against his former team in Miami. The Marlins now lead
the Cardinals eleven to nothing at the top of the eighth,
(33:06):
the Texas Rangers a six to one lead over the
Red Sox at Fenway in the top of the eighth,
and the Minnesota Twins up six to two over the
Kansas City Royals in the bottom half of the sixth inning.
Elsewhere in the annual tragic commentary on our society known
as Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
You need to do this, in the Paxton Whitehead voice
of in the Hot Dog Eating Contest, mister.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Melon, you have speaking of America. You Jason, have turned
America against me. After your withering criticism earlier, My mentions
are now full of hot dog loving trolls, including one
individual who tweeted at me quote, you're the worst worst spelled.
Speaker 8 (33:54):
With a u ah.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
There you go. See. Now you know you've made it.
You've made it, Isaaca loh and kron Hey.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Joey Chestnut won the Gentleman's Division by eating sixty two
hot dogs. In fact, fellas, here is how it sounded
when Chestnut polished off his final dog.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Six Oops.
Speaker 5 (34:22):
Sorry, guys, I pressed the wrong button there. That was
actually Joe Buck's call of Mark Maguire hitting number sixty
two in the memorable nineteen ninety eight season.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
Anyway, I was gonna say that crowd of Coney Island
sounded real, but much bigger crowd than you see on TV.
Speaker 5 (34:38):
Absolutely, it must have been a sellout. Anyway, for Chestnut,
it was his eighth straight win and his sixteenth overall.
When asked for comment, Chestnut said, oh, hou hord wrong. Anyway,
on that note back to you.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
We went over this. It's American hero Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 8 (35:00):
We went over there coming on the show now.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Legend, Yeah, I forget it now now him and the
Mustard Belton.
Speaker 5 (35:07):
I'm sure you guys are relishing every bit of the
aftermath of chest nuts victory.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
Thank you very much. I love appreciate it. We have
the Joey Chestnut game coming up in about fifteen minutes.
Stuff that I found that I can't I can't wait
to play this game. But straight ahead. Hey, Oh by

Speaker 3 (36:20):
Fox Sports Radio. It is a Doug Gottlieb Show. Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon in for Doug today and coming up in
twenty five minutes, we'll get into a couple of big
injuries in Major League Baseball. Clayton Kirscher now Mike Trout.
We now know how long he's gonna be out, and
it's gonna be quite a while. But we saw something
last night in Summer League that we saw last year
(36:44):
for all too briefly. We saw chet On the floor again.
Chet Holmgren, Oklahoma City star who of course took Summer
League by storm. Look at this, the guy is gonna
block ten shots a game and hit threes. He's gonna
set the world on its ear. Foot injury kept them
out last year, returns and has a pretty big night
(37:05):
fifteen points, nine boards, four blocks. You see a lot
of his highlights have been trending on social media over
the course of the last few hours. It looks very
much like it was last year, and certainly he and
Webbin Yama are the guys that everybody's got their eye on.
Look At how unbelievably talented these guys are. As big men,
you know, these are seven footers that are all that.
(37:26):
Both run the floor like Giannis and may wind up
being better than Yannis when it's all said and done.
But they both have something in common might that you know.
We talked about this with Webn Yama, and I feel
like we have to extend this to Holmegrid is that
they should both be on strict minutes restrictions for the season,
right because the fan bases for both of these teams,
they're just happy they have them, right, and it doesn't
(37:49):
matter Okay, if we're if we're we're not thinking we're
gonna win the title this year, but we're happy to
have exciting players. We like watching and seeing them play.
The number one thing is you gotta make sure these
guys whose bodies are not quite NBA bang around for
sixty five games a season that they get there. Now.
Homegren's put on some weight from last year, which is good,
(38:09):
but still this is gonna be his first go round,
and you want to make sure that guys like Homegren
and Webb Yama they get into the league and they
don't wind up getting hurt early because it's too much
too soon. I would almost say that they should have
like a twenty minute restriction per night to start the season,
and then it goes up incrementally as as the year
goes on, just to get them used to playing in
(38:31):
sixty sixty five Gamesause, not only have these guys not
done that, they also haven't played, you know, a schedule
like this. Homegroun hasn't played in the year, and when
Benyama's playing schedule, the professional schedule in France and everything else,
no one's done that. They haven't had the rigors of
that yet, So I would almost say you got to
do that, give you that strict ten minutes in the
first half, ten minutes in the second half, you got
to call a time out to let him out, get
(38:52):
him out of the game. You call a time out
and get him out of the game.
Speaker 6 (38:54):
Well, certainly he got to see a little bit.
Speaker 7 (38:56):
And as we talk with Dan Woiki, right, you don't
get over excited, right, you try not to about what
you see in summer league, but it does wet the
appetite for what could be and home grin a guy
on both ends of the court with that aptitude. Now
he's already got the foot injury in the wrong column.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Right.
Speaker 7 (39:14):
We always talk about big guys and their limbs, their
joints and making sure you're protecting there and hoping the
body fills out sooner rather than later. But go back
to the beginning of Joel Embiid's career, there were a
lot of questions was he going to be able to
make it? Well, now he's the defending league MVP. Who
wants to play with them? That's a whole other question.
But when we look at minutes restrictions, load management all
(39:38):
for it. You know, when min Yama is schedule in France,
they played forty four games. You're still almost doubling that.
And if you make the playoffs, so all bets are off.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
Right.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
As for Oklahoma City, they're an interesting roster. A lot
of young talent there, led by Gildess Alexander, but curious
as to the overall goals are of trying to push
because this guy could be a good one for a
good decade. Plus, don't want to potentially suffer that relapse
so soon.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah, I don't think anybody's gonna care. Yeah, I don't
think anybody's gonna care. Oh what are you doing with
this guy? No, we've seen so many big men get hurt.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (40:17):
I think they got the guys in the locker room
that are looking at their basketball montality too though.
Speaker 6 (40:22):
Yeah, but well let's say I want to play for something.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Yeah but okay, Well you're in Oklahoma City and San Antonio,
two bottom feeder teams. Right, Let's be honest. They're looking
to find their way back. This is kind of what
this year is going to be. We can't we can't
go crazy and as time goes on and they can
merit more playing time, Yeah, sure, let's do it, but
we know what the goals are, and that's to make
sure this guy is healthy and he's a lynchpin for
us for a decade plus when we start winning championship's
(40:46):
not gonna happen this year.
Speaker 7 (40:47):
Yeah, I want that Jordan return right where it was.
Fourteen minutes, fifteen minutes, sixteen minutes. All right, you're up
to thirty two minutes. Let's go.
Speaker 3 (40:54):
Yeah yeah, yeah, but I'm really like two weeks to ramp.
Come on, I'm telling you for chet and and Whenbenya
needs a new nickname, I mean Wenby. Wenby is not
a great nickname, just short in his name.
Speaker 8 (41:03):
It's bad nick the big fragile
