Speaker 2 (00:51):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, you just gave the big update NBA games tonight,
Lakers having their way with the Spurs in the third quarter,
and the Nuggets minus Nicola Yoki's minus basically everybody tonight.
I think dan Issel is actually playing for the Nuggets tonight,
and I think Alex English is playing for the Nuggets tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Russell Westbrook has fourteen assists.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, Hey, I get to play thirty minutes tonight. They
are thumping the Warriors going to the fourth quarter now
eighty nine seventy seven.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And Jimmy Butler is playing. They're almost undefeated since acquiring him.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, it has been that kind of I mean, Steph
Curry's having a rough night shooting, is only five for
sixteen from the floor for thirteen points. But look the
Nuggets are I mean, the Nuggets are resting everybody. They
only have played I'm only looking the box score. They've
only played three people.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Tonight in not Dallas, this, yeah, Denver they have.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
They have a cutout of a guy, you know, like
pretending to play defense. They just put out there. If
you touch the guy with the cutout, it's a turnover
a cardboard cut out.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's better than some of the NBA defense I've seen
this year, is it Paul George?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh too soon from come on, man, Paul George is
gonna play again. The room wins on a one on
one Paul George or the Barbard cutout?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, I know who loses his knee?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. He would run into the cutout
and come out injured. So I read the cardboard cut up.
You know, it's funny when when I used to play
hockey and if we were playing, either pick up. A
couple of times you did this for a game because
it was a way to either we could play the
game or not. Like sometimes when you're playing, if hey,
our goalie is going to be late to the game
or something, and where you're going, there was there was
(02:26):
a there was a and and you know the people
who ran the legue, I have the best goalie the league,
whenever you need it. That was always his line. If
your goalie is not here, have the best goalie league,
whatever you need. And there's a couple of times a
wall people are running late, whatever it is. And so
we could either agree to say, okay, you're gonna play
without a goalie. You can play extra someone on the
which is not really fun because sometimes I have to
(02:46):
do is just you know, dump the puck in from
a little bit inside the red line and you're going
to score or it would it's a it's a big
it's almost like what you see with the big signs
they put up in games, the big heavy plastic U signs,
and it would be just the goal and there was
a hole in each corner, one in the very middle
of it, and one on the very bottom in the middle,
(03:07):
and if you put the puck in one through one
of those, there was a goal. Now you had to
be pretty precision because it's not like these holes were big.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It's like the thing they put up for the fans
between periods to win a car.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
And you would say, he would I got the best
goalie in the league for you, all right, great, and
you would tie it in and you would play like
that until the goalie showed up for the other team,
or if you played the whole game that way, or.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
The regular woulden't goalie went on strike?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yes exactly, Yes, how come about? Really? Games needed a
new countract and.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
We would play and it would be really frustrating because
you would have to get really close in to score.
And it's not like like if.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You can't fake him out, he doesn't move, no, And.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
There's like you're not going to put in a slap
shot from you know, scoring because you're not going to
get the movement of the goalie. You're not gonna be
able to pass.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Nobody screen him.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
It doesn't matter. Yeah, you can't just come you can't
come in down a two on one and the goal
and and slide up and slide the puck over and
the guy's got an open net like that, it's gonna
be there, so you have to get really close.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'm sure Rob Lowe could still find a way to
score a.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well, him and Sutton playing together was awesome. I mean,
and then he would fight Racky at the end, and
Racky would pull out the stick like he.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Was gonna carve it.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
By reference, come on, I kicked his ass all over
the ice, Racky. I need somebody to can score gold.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Let me take an old reference.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
There was a Happy Day's episode where Richie comes in
the room in his hockey uniform, totally ticked off because
their goalie didn't show up for that game.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
How did it go?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Rich We lost sixteen nothing? How is that bad? Of course, mom,
asking not bad considering we had a German shepherd for
our goalie. So maybe next time your team should have
tried that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh Man, I like Germany putting a dog in gold. Oh,
that would just come down with the puck and I
would just have a treat in one hand and I
would show and the dog would run out. I just
put the buck in right away, John. I. So he's
probably not going to play the puck in the corner
that is there. Yeah, and if he does, he's not back. Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So we remember we played games and we would be
mad that we couldn't score because the other team would
just defensively put a bunch of people in front of
the nest.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Sucked. No, no, no, my teens, well, I was always.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
The defenseman could just hold a glove out in front
of that corner at the top left hole or something.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, the referee always always would make it, make it
a point if you can't just guard the goal. You
can't just stand in front of the fucking go in.
You got you gotta move around. But there's gay because
you can't stop guys from just like having three defensemen.
And it was really frustrating. It was really telling you.
It was really frustrating. I mean, that was a goal scorer.
So I found a way because that was me. I'm
(05:38):
a glamor boy. But uh, it frustrated a lot of people.
We only had a couple of times that would happen though,
but I was like, wow, the goalie is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So we got started on this because no defense tonight,
even the Suns are killing them.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well this week because we talked about the Nuggets resting everybody,
which is great, because I assume we're going to get
everybody for the Lakers game on Wednesday, Like that's a
good thing in a season where hey, we're resting back
to backs and here's a nationally televised game, and X
Y and Z tonight's nationally televised game. It goes, but
it is, but it's also Nuggets Lakers is a big deal.
(06:13):
Michael Malone has made Nuggets Lakers a big deal. So
I would assume we're going to get these guys all
back for the game on Wednesday, or at least Jokich
will be back, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
And amazingly Denver is up ninety one seventy seven at
Golden State early in the fourth.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Without Jokic and without Jamal Murray ankle Injry.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, everybody, like I said, I said, dan Issel, actually
he's got twelve already, and Ted Keke Van Daway, I
think has has has fifteen points.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
When I looked at the box score and saw that
Jalen Pickett is getting minutes off the I had to
do a second Jayden Pitt, No, no, Jalen Pickett, somebody
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
No relation to Will.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Smith by the way, No, No, I think you know
it's actually Kenny Pickett is getting time back.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
That that's part of his deal. Now, hey you can
you can try to be the you try to win
the star quarterback job, but you're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, that might be a source pud and a certain
NFL town because.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He may be getting minutes. Normally, when you get the
NCAA tournament selection, we get to talk about snubs and
it moves on after a day. But the controversy that
has rained in the last twenty four hours because fourteen
teams from the Seas, which is ridiculously stupid. He can't
let four can't let teams at six and twelve in
your conference in right, North Carolina gets in despite being
(07:26):
one and twelve in squad.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
One game in Texas is an sec town Texas. Now
Texas had the same record as Syracuse and they get
in the tournament. They were thirteen and eighteen, whatever it was,
they get a tournament. Uh, it's it's this year specifically
has been what should be a celebration of the sport
is now just riddled with controversy because on the heels
of the last twenty four hours you did there, you're
(07:48):
talking about not my first day is maybe it's a
worst story or a more embarrassing story with what happened
with the NIT today.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So Alth Alabama was not a team that was inviting.
You're not in the NCAA tournament. You're you either want
your team to get in the n I T or
don't want them to get and it doesn't matter. But
South Alabama didn't get in the ni T, but they
were told they made the ni T because you see
Riverside decline its invitation. Both have about the same records year,
(08:21):
so you see Riverside gets in and they said initially
told the NIT, okay, we can't play in the n
T because we made a commitment to play in the CBI,
which is it's really but whatever, this is how it goes.
This is stupid.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But CBI is a one week tournament where you get
a trip to Daytona Beach and they do all the
games there. That's where that Army Elon matchup is happening.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Place. In general, has no nca affiliate. You can have
anybody in. And again, Elon is just going to fire
all the teams before they plan. Elon's going to win.
So so here's the thing. You see Riverside invited to
the NIT. They say they can't make it because they're
playing in the CBI. Okay, so that opens up a spot.
South Alabama gets invited. Okay, great, South Alabama's in the NIT. Hey,
(09:04):
you get to tell your team, guys, we're going to
play postseason basketball. That's great, except the invitation got rescinded after.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He told his own conference commission.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
He told everybody, we're going we're going to the dance.
We're going to a small dance.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
We're going to the small dance. We're going to the
small day and sent to the coach. Sure, yeah, go
with it. Tell your team Dicky v is dancing South Alabama.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Baby, oh, we're going to the dance. We're going to
the dance. And then the NIT had to call and say,
yeah about that. You see Riverside, which right out of
here in Los Angeles, they got out of their commitment
to the CBI, so they're accepting their invitation to the NIT.
(09:48):
So that means South Alabama we can't take you into
the NIT. And Richie Riley, the head coach South Alabama,
said this is unacceptable. He was on fire. It's unacceptable.
You can't do this, and it is it's just stupid.
If a team says no, they say no, right, it happens.
If a team says no, they say no, you gotta
(10:10):
move on, right, you move on? You knew, Hey we're
going to the CBI. Okay, great, you gotta move on.
You can't invite a team and you can't tell them, Yeah,
tell everybody. I can tell you. Yes, tell everybody. It's
all good. Okay, great, you're sure I can tell them,
but yes, tell everyone. It's actually good. It's gonna happen.
You guys are in okay, and they tell everybody and
then they get told, oh sorry, yeah you can't get in.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Hey, it's it's UCR as it's known in Southern California
playing at Santa Clara tomorrow night instead, no South Alabama
to be seen.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean, that's it's just embarrassing. Like the last twenty
four hours for the NCAA overall ain't been great, right,
it ain't been great because you see that there's no
criteria they follow every year to let the teams in
the NCAA Tournament. Now you have this controversy with the
n t You got teams that are hopping mad in
West Virginia's making headlines. You had the you had you
(10:59):
had the governor of West Virginia saying this was robbery
at the highest level of West Virginia not getting into
the NCAA Turnam.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And the correlation of what you're talking about is the
NCAAA still runs the NIT. They used to be competing
tournaments in the old days of college basketball. Even though
the NIT is not winding up at Madison Square Garden anymore,
the final four is going to be at Butler's field House.
It's still an NCAA operated postseason event.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I mean Patrick Morrissey, all right, Governor of West Virginia Morrissey,
And so clearly TJ. The Smith's not happy getting so
Patrick Morrissey, this is his exact quote. West Virginia deserved
to be in the NCAA Tournament. He was standing at
a lectern with a big sign that said National Corrupt
Athletic Association. He said this was a miscarriage of justice
(11:47):
and robbery at the highest levels. Lakey's guerrilla Monsoon describing
something going on in the WWE. What a gross miscarriage
of justice. This was robbery at the highest levels that
West Virginia doesn't get in.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They had more quad one wins than North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Of course as we talk, Syracuse said more probably not no,
but they had one quad one win North Carolina and
they got in. I mean, really, this is this is
where the NCAA just taken it on all sides. Here
do you have, oh goodness, Frostberg, what do you got?
I googled it. Okay, okay, robbery at the highest level.
You want to know what it is? Yeah, what is it?
Stealing a mailbox? Oh? That is not Is it robbery?
(12:24):
If you take it and you put it back before
anybody notices, this is petty compared to yours. Okay, if
you raw. Okay, let's say instead of robbing a mailbox,
I stole a car. If I steal a car, you
can have the car. But I steal the car and
I bring it back for anybody knows it's gone. Did
I really steal a car? I have no idea, but
(12:44):
I know you stole a mailbox, but I put it back.
But I put it back after before anybody noticed, I
think I'm okay. Sorry. So robbery of the highest stealing
a mailbox, then stealing the car, and then West Virginia
getting left out of the NCAA tournament. Oh, West Virginia
is right after, Oh, right after? Okay, stealing the car
is a third Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I this was addressed on that selection show because the
guy mentioned player availability is something we talk about quite
a bit. So the coach's son, who was fifteen points
a game, didn't play much of the season, so after surgery,
I assume he's not playing in their postseason. So the
committee said, okay, all things being equal, we want to
(13:25):
see the team that's healthier.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So let's see. Let's hear that big quote from West
Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey on the miscarriagch of Justice and
the National Corrupt Committee Athletic Association.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
And I've asked Attorney General McCuskey to launch an investigation.
It's the NCAA tournament selection committee to determine if any
backyard deals back the kroom deals corruption bribes for any
er during the selection process. I know that the Attorney
(13:59):
General are gonna leave no stone.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Uh. This is what you call under the category of
free publicity, something that when you're a politician and you
can get behind something that everybody agrees upon, whether it's
your party or not, you run that. And that's why
he decided, Oh, I'm gonna say, there's got bribery backyard
deals or not. I mean, I guess a backyard deal.
You show up in someone's backyard. Hey, here's the money.
(14:26):
What is that? You have a backyard deal? Yeah, I
give them money in the backyard. We go on from there.
We got a court at the end of the driveway.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Come on in.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is it legal? Not if we do it in the backyard,
it's not.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
If you're really serious, Why didn't you hold the news
conference to announce the litigation?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I know, well they're well no stone unturned in this investigation.
That all the corruption to.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Find the backyard tackyard deal in the backyard deal.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yes, yeah, go back to hey, make sure that we
got we got we got some food. Going back there
to get some potato, salad, chickens on the grill, hamburgers,
hot dogs, get whatever you need in the backyard. It's
a good backyard deal. You got going there, So I
give you a hot dog you give me a berth
in the tournament. Yep, backyard deal. That's how it works. Well,
I want cheese, I want onions, I want all that
on it. This is I love this. Congratulations and see

get to a couple of big stories out of the
NFL this weekend in free agency, it's it's still.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Six minutes to go, by the way, and uh Denver
now up five.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Let's once again here from West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey,
who is beside himself over the fact that West Virginia
gets snubbed from the NCAA tournament. Now that we talked about,
it's been a really bad last twenty four hours for
the NCAA overall. You have a really bad bracket reveal,
you have a bad and it reveal where one team
(18:04):
gets uninvited from the NIT And now because West Virginia
gets left out, well, here's the Governor of West Virginia
ready to have all sorts of investigative journalistic practices happen
to see just how the Mountaineers got left out of
the big dance.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
And I've asked Attorney General mccusky to launch an investigation
into the NCAA tournament selection committee to determine if any
backyard deals, sacking kroom deals, corruption, bribes, or any nefarious
activity occurred during the selection process. I know that the
(18:43):
Attorney General and I are going to leave no stone
unturned during this process. Like that.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
What is the talkie in the background, I know the
governor of the stay, Hey, can.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You shut up?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I'm talking about Chrostmas characters that get there. Can you
be quiet for five you.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Can clean out the trash can in the corner later.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
This is where I wish we were like one of
those spy shows where I could just say, Chloe, take
that audio down. Enhance the audio behind us so I
can hear what they're saying. Enhance that audio. Enhance that.
I just want to just want to hear that enhance that.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
That's what he would like for the committee room over
the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
First like five seconds again, Yeah, it's my favorite part. Okay,
go ahead play it. And I asked the Attorney General
he can't turn me down to launch an investigation. Hey,
we're here to talk to you about how West Virginia
got left out of the tournament, to.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Know exactly how the field is selected. That's exactly why
the guys you're talking about appeared on national television yesterday
at about a quarter to seven pm Eastern time to
answer this exact question, where they even reference to West
Virginia quote, player availability is something we talk about a bit,
(20:00):
and they had a fifteen point a game scorer, the
coach's son who was hurt in surgery.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, I see that's great because that's details. How much
do you think the governor really knows about college basketball?
About all this nothing?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I mean, really, he's worried about him, hence the investigation,
worried about a batch. As for you, he's worrying about
a backyard deal. He's worrying about things that happened in backyards.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What happened, Well, the stone guy came in and said,
to redo the backyard here. Stones is going to be
about three thousand dollars. I got him down to twenty
five hundred. We made a backyard deal. We're just gonna
use fewer stones. We can have two rows of stones,
we don't need five.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I went to home depot. I got that shit for
the backyard. I said, hey, you know three ninety nine, No,
it's on sale. It's actually two ninety nine this week. Oh,
I got a backyard deal on that.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You No, we didn't have a hoop at our house,
but now we got a chance to.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Pull one up because they made a backyard name in
a backyard, sorry, backroom, back room, backroom deal, backroom dealer.
Oh whoa, whoa, that's a whole other thing. Yeah, no
it is. I mean, I mean you gotta have a
back I mean a deal in the backyard. Could you
have a deal in the back room of a backyard.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
If there is one of the home depot sheds. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so that is that is doubly world. It's doubly bad.
That's doubly bad. I have asked the Attorney General to
step in here. What I would say is because he's
not doing anything currently, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say, okay,
can you tell me, Like, there's lots of other things
I think that we're facing as a country that we
need to look at more, like you know, the economy
(21:29):
and eggs and all these but let's let's make sure
we get West Virginia into the tournament. He's gonna use
public money just to buy expensive eggs to.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Throw them at the tournament. I really, you know, And
because now like now I go into restaurants and they
say if I order an omelet, like it's a fifty
cent search.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yard, it's an eggs sit charge.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm like, okay, let's figure that. No, no, no, let's
see why West Virginia didn't make the tournament. Let's see why.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Pretty soon they're gonna be selling eggs, not by the dozen,
but in singles.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, I want to buy one egg? Just what? Just
one egg? What do they call that? Cigarettes? And lucy? Yeah, lucy.
You can buy a lucy. Yeah, you buy a lucy. Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But this recipe calls for two eggs.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Sorry, you have one egg? Can get an egg and
a half? You know, one egg? I just want the
egg whites. Is that fifty cents? Because then you can
reuse the yolk of the egg. No, no, no, not
got anyone. That's all part of the egg. Uh. This
is where you know, I see this and I go, now,
where could this possibly be going? And now the next
big grand standing press conference I'm sure from from uh
(22:29):
Patrick Morrison is going to be did you know that Bubba,
and it's not a reference to Bill Clinton? Did you
know that Bubba who runs North Carolina gets a bonus
for his team making the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All he's got to do well these days, all you
got to do is say it at a press conference apparently.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Doesn't have to be true at all. See the governor is.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
You know that's you're right, that's down the road.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Bubba Cunningham U NCAD gets a sixty thousand dollars bonus
if North Carolina makes a tournament. Who ran the selection committee?
The answer is Bubba cunning Ham, Right, all the big
posters are gonna go up Bubba Bubba sucks and all
this stuff and everything else that's gonna I mean, really
that that's the worst optic for the nc you could possibly.
(23:14):
We don't like that.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Bubba is they're gonna barbecue.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We're gonna boil him. We're gonna broil him, We're gonna
bake it. We're gonna sell it in basketball in a basket.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
By the way, as we get near that basketball, the
Dodgers comes up at old basketball. Literally tonight, one of
the Dodgers beat writers found a Bubba Gump shrimp restaurant
in the Tokyo Dome Complex. There is, yes, there's still
Bubba Gump restaurants. It's not close to Los Angeles, but yes.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, wow, all right, because the only one I
knew that they had was down in Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
But might I might be closed, used to be one
in Anaheim and met there. Of course, you could say
that about a lot of restaurants used to be one
here there.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's closing the Santamanica peer, knucklehead, Is there
one the people?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Really?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I don't know that, Okay. I thought the one was
closest in longde I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Okay, all right, closest to who to La, closest to
Los Angeles in Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Oh all right, all right? Yeah see Now I want shrimp, shrimp,
bob shrimp, and how many items that the one in
Tokyo think are named after a show? Hey, all of them,
all of them. In fact, it's it's it's bubba Otani
shrimp is what it's going to be. That's say that again.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You call a Tonia shrimp one more time, saying I
said bubba Otani Shrimp company, the big Okay, bubba Otani
Jumbo our jumbo shrimp for the big shrimp. Your safety,
I recommend you using that going forward.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Hey, no, here, shrimp is the fruit of the sea,
you know, for both your safety. I'm gonna sick Patrick
Morrissey on you. He's gonna uncover a gross mischaracter of
justice here for the turner, and I've.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Asked Attorney General Mkowsky to launch an investigation.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Investigation.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Meanwhile, Uccusky's going, oh, I gotta do I gotta deal
with this crap now.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I don't have enough on my mind when the who
is it? NBC was doing the World Series in the
eighties and it was the Cardinals. Willie McGee was playing outfield.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Do you remember where.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
There was a home run or not home run? Was
there fan interference? And there was interference by a Cardinal
fan And the governor of Missouri was so upset that
the great name of any citizen of Missouri would be impune.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So he actually.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Held a press conference like the one we're hearing, to
go up against NBC and against Vince Gully who was
the announcer and saying, what are you people doing? Saying
about we would never went okay, we all saw the
game it was it was interference? What you And then
he changed his mind and said to NBC, how about
(25:49):
I give you like a key to the city type
of thing and we can do it in the booths
on the pregame show. That's the only Vince Gully telling
that story. It is older years. That's the only time
I've heard Vin then follow up with the sentence, and
I've never forgiven him for that, And so I'm guessing
someone on the committee will come up with that sentence.
(26:10):
After all, we've heard from West Virginia's governor today.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Uh, he was actually going to run for governor and
then he decided not to and he ran for attorney
general instead. And now you know, obviously now the governor
is sicking him. Now now Morris, who's governed?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Did you know the the Uh, the governor previously of
West Virginia's name was Jim Justice.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Like, I vote for the guy just with that name.
I don't care what you know. He needs to be
attorney general. What do you the justice? Yeah that's true, Yeah,
the top lawman. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 4 (26:40):
There's no justice with vernors. But I would vote for
a guy named Justice for anything. I'd vote for Dave Justice.
Dave Justice for governor.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Dave Justice, who has sat in that seat in your
studio before.
Speaker 4 (26:51):
Dave Justice will investigate why West Virginia doesn't make the turn.
And then he's gonna find out why to cost a
dollar for soda, which the soda machine, which sounds like
one of the local anchors during sweeps, weeeks, Dave Justice
is looking out for you, and he's gonna have a
special five part series that you knew nothing about.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Hi, I'm Dave Justice. I want to know where my
dollar is going to that I'm paying for soda. I
don't see it on the field. I've asked JB.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
McCuskey to look into this right away.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I'm Dave Justice.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
How did the Braves only win one series series with
that pitching's test?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I'm on it Monday at eleven. I'm Dave Justice. I
approved this message. So big stuff out of the NFL
Free agency this weekend, right the two biggest stories we
had the Bengals signing both of their receivers, which is like, wow, okay,
we're gonna give one guy money. They give Jamar Chase
all kinds of money, They give T Higgins money. They
get to keep both of them. They almost gave Chase
(27:50):
all the money. Yeah, they almost said, I'm sure. Jamar
Chase said, listen, if you just give me the money
you were given T Higgins, we don't need him anymore.
Just give me all that money.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
At least T Higgins gets something that's called more than
a one year contract.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes, and he got one hundred and twenty four million.
Jamar Chase got over one hundred and fifty million, and
Cooper Cupp got forty five million to go to the
Seahawks and himself. Of that money, I'll be an honest.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Slightly different routes those two.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, of all that money, who I'm surprising who I
think is overpaid? I think it's Cooper Cup all right,
at least I know Higgins and Chase are great. Cooper
Cupp like this, he's still really good. I mean, the guy,
the guy, what are they gonna ask him to do?
Even when he came back like he he can't be
met catch He had no Yeah, he had no role
in the in the Rams offense, like he was just
(28:34):
out there taking up space like it was we're throwing
the ball in the cool who else, nobody else. And
while we'll get to the Bengals part of it in
a few minutes, just for a couple of minutes on
the Seahawks here, I just I don't get what they're doing,
you know, in theory, Okay, they replaced Gino Smith with
Sam Darnold. What do they do? They pay a little
bit less money than what Gino Smith wanted. Sam Donald
(28:54):
is seven years younger. They've had the best of Gino
the last couple of years and they haven't been able
to cash it. Okay, so I get in a sense
it's a good trading, right, But at the same time,
they also trade a dk Metcalf who asked for a
trade but maybe would have stayed. If they know, hey,
we're bringing a new quarterback. Things are gonna be a
little bit better because you know, I'm sure he wasn't
happy being usurped as the number one receiver in Seattle
(29:18):
by Jackson Smith, the Jigbo who is phenomenal. Uh so
and Gilby. So we did the thing at quarterback, but
we're gonna make it a little bit tougher for him
because we're gonna trade away DK Metcalf. Okay, we'll get
draft picks back, all right, So maybe we're kind of
reassessing here. No, now we're gonna go give money to
Cooper Cup who is thirty two years old, and we
don't know if the guy's done. So, like, I don't
(29:38):
get what Seattle's trying to do.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
But it's such a good story. He's from Washington.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It is it's a great story. I guess Eastern I
get to go home again. Hey, I'm back washing. Yeah,
I'm like I see this and I what Seattle is doing.
It's like the category of do something even if it's wrong,
because I don't think they don't have a consistent message. Yeah,
we're trying to reload. We're also starting over, but we're
trying to win now. It's like when I would get
(30:04):
to the point earlier in my life and my wife
and I go, you know, we got to do something
with this living room. The living room just needs to
we need to do something. So we move the furniture around.
Let's do this, and we move the TV around, and
it's a different living room, but it's still the same
living room. Okay, well and then two years you move
the furniture back to back.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
That's what we're gonna do this in this and it realized, oh,
it's still the same room.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We just move stuff around like that to the Seahawks
are doing. We're still in the same boat. Because yeah,
Donald's younger, but Gino Smith's been better the last few
years in donald has Donald's had the one year. Yeah,
we brought in Cooper Cup. We gave him the money
that we should and we got rid of dk Metcalf,
who was better than Cooper Cup and is younger. What
are we doing? Like, I feel like we're just moving
stuff around to make it seem like we're really just
moving our feet. Like that's that Seattle trying to find
(30:47):
out what's trending right now in the wide world of sports,
from special delivery Steve to Saga Steve, what do you
got for us right now?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
Well, let's start with that NBA feature matchup. As it

Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Well, you just gave the big update NBA games tonight,
Lakers having their way with the Spurs in the third quarter,
and the Nuggets minus Nicola Yoki's minus basically everybody tonight.
I think dan Issel is actually playing for the Nuggets tonight,
and I think Alex English is playing for the Nuggets tonight.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Russell Westbrook has fourteen assists.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah, Hey, I get to play thirty minutes tonight. They
are thumping the Warriors going to the fourth quarter now
eighty nine seventy seven.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
And Jimmy Butler is playing. They're almost undefeated since acquiring him.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, it has been that kind of I mean, Steph
Curry's having a rough night shooting, is only five for
sixteen from the floor for thirteen points. But look the
Nuggets are I mean, the Nuggets are resting everybody. They
only have played I'm only looking the box score. They've
only played three people.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Tonight in not Dallas, this, yeah, Denver they have.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
They have a cutout of a guy, you know, like
pretending to play defense. They just put out there. If
you touch the guy with the cutout, it's a turnover
a cardboard cut out.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's better than some of the NBA defense I've seen
this year, is it Paul George?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
You know?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Oh too soon from come on, man, Paul George is
gonna play again. The room wins on a one on
one Paul George or the Barbard cutout?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Well, I know who loses his knee?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. He would run into the cutout
and come out injured. So I read the cardboard cut up.
You know, it's funny when when I used to play
hockey and if we were playing, either pick up. A
couple of times you did this for a game because
it was a way to either we could play the
game or not. Like sometimes when you're playing, if hey,
our goalie is going to be late to the game
or something, and where you're going, there was there was
(02:26):
a there was a and and you know the people
who ran the legue, I have the best goalie the league,
whenever you need it. That was always his line. If
your goalie is not here, have the best goalie league,
whatever you need. And there's a couple of times a
wall people are running late, whatever it is. And so
we could either agree to say, okay, you're gonna play
without a goalie. You can play extra someone on the
which is not really fun because sometimes I have to
(02:46):
do is just you know, dump the puck in from
a little bit inside the red line and you're going
to score or it would it's a it's a big
it's almost like what you see with the big signs
they put up in games, the big heavy plastic U signs,
and it would be just the goal and there was
a hole in each corner, one in the very middle
of it, and one on the very bottom in the middle,
(03:07):
and if you put the puck in one through one
of those, there was a goal. Now you had to
be pretty precision because it's not like these holes were big.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
It's like the thing they put up for the fans
between periods to win a car.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
That's exactly what it is.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
And you would say, he would I got the best
goalie in the league for you, all right, great, and
you would tie it in and you would play like
that until the goalie showed up for the other team,
or if you played the whole game that way, or.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
The regular woulden't goalie went on strike?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yes exactly, Yes, how come about? Really? Games needed a
new countract and.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
We would play and it would be really frustrating because
you would have to get really close in to score.
And it's not like like if.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
You can't fake him out, he doesn't move, no, And.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
There's like you're not going to put in a slap
shot from you know, scoring because you're not going to
get the movement of the goalie. You're not gonna be
able to pass.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Nobody screen him.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
It doesn't matter. Yeah, you can't just come you can't
come in down a two on one and the goal
and and slide up and slide the puck over and
the guy's got an open net like that, it's gonna
be there, so you have to get really close.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
I'm sure Rob Lowe could still find a way to
score a.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Oh I'm sure.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
Well, him and Sutton playing together was awesome. I mean,
and then he would fight Racky at the end, and
Racky would pull out the stick like he.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Was gonna carve it.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
By reference, come on, I kicked his ass all over
the ice, Racky. I need somebody to can score gold.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Let me take an old reference.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
There was a Happy Day's episode where Richie comes in
the room in his hockey uniform, totally ticked off because
their goalie didn't show up for that game.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
How did it go?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Rich We lost sixteen nothing? How is that bad? Of course, mom,
asking not bad considering we had a German shepherd for
our goalie. So maybe next time your team should have
tried that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh Man, I like Germany putting a dog in gold. Oh,
that would just come down with the puck and I
would just have a treat in one hand and I
would show and the dog would run out. I just
put the buck in right away, John. I. So he's
probably not going to play the puck in the corner
that is there. Yeah, and if he does, he's not back. Uh.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
So we remember we played games and we would be
mad that we couldn't score because the other team would
just defensively put a bunch of people in front of
the nest.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Sucked. No, no, no, my teens, well, I was always.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
The defenseman could just hold a glove out in front
of that corner at the top left hole or something.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Well, the referee always always would make it, make it
a point if you can't just guard the goal. You
can't just stand in front of the fucking go in.
You got you gotta move around. But there's gay because
you can't stop guys from just like having three defensemen.
And it was really frustrating. It was really telling you.
It was really frustrating. I mean, that was a goal scorer.
So I found a way because that was me. I'm
(05:38):
a glamor boy. But uh, it frustrated a lot of people.
We only had a couple of times that would happen though,
but I was like, wow, the goalie is pretty good.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
So we got started on this because no defense tonight,
even the Suns are killing them.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Well this week because we talked about the Nuggets resting everybody,
which is great, because I assume we're going to get
everybody for the Lakers game on Wednesday, Like that's a
good thing in a season where hey, we're resting back
to backs and here's a nationally televised game, and X
Y and Z tonight's nationally televised game. It goes, but
it is, but it's also Nuggets Lakers is a big deal.
(06:13):
Michael Malone has made Nuggets Lakers a big deal. So
I would assume we're going to get these guys all
back for the game on Wednesday, or at least Jokich
will be back, which is pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
And amazingly Denver is up ninety one seventy seven at
Golden State early in the fourth.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Without Jokic and without Jamal Murray ankle Injry.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah, everybody, like I said, I said, dan Issel, actually
he's got twelve already, and Ted Keke Van Daway, I
think has has has fifteen points.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
When I looked at the box score and saw that
Jalen Pickett is getting minutes off the I had to
do a second Jayden Pitt, No, no, Jalen Pickett, somebody
in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
No relation to Will.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Smith by the way, No, No, I think you know
it's actually Kenny Pickett is getting time back.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
That that's part of his deal. Now, hey you can
you can try to be the you try to win
the star quarterback job, but you're gonna get it.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, that might be a source pud and a certain
NFL town because.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
He may be getting minutes. Normally, when you get the
NCAA tournament selection, we get to talk about snubs and
it moves on after a day. But the controversy that
has rained in the last twenty four hours because fourteen
teams from the Seas, which is ridiculously stupid. He can't
let four can't let teams at six and twelve in
your conference in right, North Carolina gets in despite being
(07:26):
one and twelve in squad.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
One game in Texas is an sec town Texas. Now
Texas had the same record as Syracuse and they get
in the tournament. They were thirteen and eighteen, whatever it was,
they get a tournament. Uh, it's it's this year specifically
has been what should be a celebration of the sport
is now just riddled with controversy because on the heels
of the last twenty four hours you did there, you're
(07:48):
talking about not my first day is maybe it's a
worst story or a more embarrassing story with what happened
with the NIT today.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So Alth Alabama was not a team that was inviting.
You're not in the NCAA tournament. You're you either want
your team to get in the n I T or
don't want them to get and it doesn't matter. But
South Alabama didn't get in the ni T, but they
were told they made the ni T because you see
Riverside decline its invitation. Both have about the same records year,
(08:21):
so you see Riverside gets in and they said initially
told the NIT, okay, we can't play in the n
T because we made a commitment to play in the CBI,
which is it's really but whatever, this is how it goes.
This is stupid.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
But CBI is a one week tournament where you get
a trip to Daytona Beach and they do all the
games there. That's where that Army Elon matchup is happening.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Place. In general, has no nca affiliate. You can have
anybody in. And again, Elon is just going to fire
all the teams before they plan. Elon's going to win.
So so here's the thing. You see Riverside invited to
the NIT. They say they can't make it because they're
playing in the CBI. Okay, so that opens up a spot.
South Alabama gets invited. Okay, great, South Alabama's in the NIT. Hey,
(09:04):
you get to tell your team, guys, we're going to
play postseason basketball. That's great, except the invitation got rescinded after.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
He told his own conference commission.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
He told everybody, we're going we're going to the dance.
We're going to a small dance.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
We're going to the small dance. We're going to the
small day and sent to the coach. Sure, yeah, go
with it. Tell your team Dicky v is dancing South Alabama.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Baby, oh, we're going to the dance. We're going to
the dance. And then the NIT had to call and say,
yeah about that. You see Riverside, which right out of
here in Los Angeles, they got out of their commitment
to the CBI, so they're accepting their invitation to the NIT.
(09:48):
So that means South Alabama we can't take you into
the NIT. And Richie Riley, the head coach South Alabama,
said this is unacceptable. He was on fire. It's unacceptable.
You can't do this, and it is it's just stupid.
If a team says no, they say no, right, it happens.
If a team says no, they say no, you gotta
(10:10):
move on, right, you move on? You knew, Hey we're
going to the CBI. Okay, great, you gotta move on.
You can't invite a team and you can't tell them, Yeah,
tell everybody. I can tell you. Yes, tell everybody. It's
all good. Okay, great, you're sure I can tell them,
but yes, tell everyone. It's actually good. It's gonna happen.
You guys are in okay, and they tell everybody and
then they get told, oh sorry, yeah you can't get in.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Hey, it's it's UCR as it's known in Southern California
playing at Santa Clara tomorrow night instead, no South Alabama
to be seen.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean, that's it's just embarrassing. Like the last twenty
four hours for the NCAA overall ain't been great, right,
it ain't been great because you see that there's no
criteria they follow every year to let the teams in
the NCAA Tournament. Now you have this controversy with the
n t You got teams that are hopping mad in
West Virginia's making headlines. You had the you had you
(10:59):
had the governor of West Virginia saying this was robbery
at the highest level of West Virginia not getting into
the NCAA Turnam.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
And the correlation of what you're talking about is the
NCAAA still runs the NIT. They used to be competing
tournaments in the old days of college basketball. Even though
the NIT is not winding up at Madison Square Garden anymore,
the final four is going to be at Butler's field House.
It's still an NCAA operated postseason event.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
I mean Patrick Morrissey, all right, Governor of West Virginia Morrissey,
And so clearly TJ. The Smith's not happy getting so
Patrick Morrissey, this is his exact quote. West Virginia deserved
to be in the NCAA Tournament. He was standing at
a lectern with a big sign that said National Corrupt
Athletic Association. He said this was a miscarriage of justice
(11:47):
and robbery at the highest levels. Lakey's guerrilla Monsoon describing
something going on in the WWE. What a gross miscarriage
of justice. This was robbery at the highest levels that
West Virginia doesn't get in.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
They had more quad one wins than North Carolina.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Of course as we talk, Syracuse said more probably not no,
but they had one quad one win North Carolina and
they got in. I mean, really, this is this is
where the NCAA just taken it on all sides. Here
do you have, oh goodness, Frostberg, what do you got?
I googled it. Okay, okay, robbery at the highest level.
You want to know what it is? Yeah, what is it?
Stealing a mailbox? Oh? That is not Is it robbery?
(12:24):
If you take it and you put it back before
anybody notices, this is petty compared to yours. Okay, if
you raw. Okay, let's say instead of robbing a mailbox,
I stole a car. If I steal a car, you
can have the car. But I steal the car and
I bring it back for anybody knows it's gone. Did
I really steal a car? I have no idea, but
(12:44):
I know you stole a mailbox, but I put it back.
But I put it back after before anybody noticed, I
think I'm okay. Sorry. So robbery of the highest stealing
a mailbox, then stealing the car, and then West Virginia
getting left out of the NCAA tournament. Oh, West Virginia
is right after, Oh, right after? Okay, stealing the car
is a third Okay.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
I this was addressed on that selection show because the
guy mentioned player availability is something we talk about quite
a bit. So the coach's son, who was fifteen points
a game, didn't play much of the season, so after surgery,
I assume he's not playing in their postseason. So the
committee said, okay, all things being equal, we want to
(13:25):
see the team that's healthier.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
So let's see. Let's hear that big quote from West
Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey on the miscarriagch of Justice and
the National Corrupt Committee Athletic Association.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
And I've asked Attorney General McCuskey to launch an investigation.
It's the NCAA tournament selection committee to determine if any
backyard deals back the kroom deals corruption bribes for any
er during the selection process. I know that the Attorney
(13:59):
General are gonna leave no stone.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Uh. This is what you call under the category of
free publicity, something that when you're a politician and you
can get behind something that everybody agrees upon, whether it's
your party or not, you run that. And that's why
he decided, Oh, I'm gonna say, there's got bribery backyard
deals or not. I mean, I guess a backyard deal.
You show up in someone's backyard. Hey, here's the money.
(14:26):
What is that? You have a backyard deal? Yeah, I
give them money in the backyard. We go on from there.
We got a court at the end of the driveway.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Come on in.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Is it legal? Not if we do it in the backyard,
it's not.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
If you're really serious, Why didn't you hold the news
conference to announce the litigation?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I know, well they're well no stone unturned in this investigation.
That all the corruption to.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Find the backyard tackyard deal in the backyard deal.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yes, yeah, go back to hey, make sure that we
got we got we got some food. Going back there
to get some potato, salad, chickens on the grill, hamburgers,
hot dogs, get whatever you need in the backyard. It's
a good backyard deal. You got going there, So I
give you a hot dog you give me a berth
in the tournament. Yep, backyard deal. That's how it works. Well,
I want cheese, I want onions, I want all that
on it. This is I love this. Congratulations and see

NFL this weekend in free agency, it's it's still.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Six minutes to go, by the way, and uh Denver
now up five.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Let's once again here from West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrissey,
who is beside himself over the fact that West Virginia
gets snubbed from the NCAA tournament. Now that we talked about,
it's been a really bad last twenty four hours for
the NCAA overall. You have a really bad bracket reveal,
you have a bad and it reveal where one team
(18:04):
gets uninvited from the NIT And now because West Virginia
gets left out, well, here's the Governor of West Virginia
ready to have all sorts of investigative journalistic practices happen
to see just how the Mountaineers got left out of
the big dance.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
And I've asked Attorney General mccusky to launch an investigation
into the NCAA tournament selection committee to determine if any
backyard deals, sacking kroom deals, corruption, bribes, or any nefarious
activity occurred during the selection process. I know that the
(18:43):
Attorney General and I are going to leave no stone
unturned during this process. Like that.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
What is the talkie in the background, I know the
governor of the stay, Hey, can.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
You shut up?
Speaker 1 (18:55):
I'm talking about Chrostmas characters that get there. Can you
be quiet for five you.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Can clean out the trash can in the corner later.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
This is where I wish we were like one of
those spy shows where I could just say, Chloe, take
that audio down. Enhance the audio behind us so I
can hear what they're saying. Enhance that audio. Enhance that.
I just want to just want to hear that enhance that.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
That's what he would like for the committee room over
the weekend.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
First like five seconds again, Yeah, it's my favorite part. Okay,
go ahead play it. And I asked the Attorney General
he can't turn me down to launch an investigation. Hey,
we're here to talk to you about how West Virginia
got left out of the tournament, to.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
Know exactly how the field is selected. That's exactly why
the guys you're talking about appeared on national television yesterday
at about a quarter to seven pm Eastern time to
answer this exact question, where they even reference to West
Virginia quote, player availability is something we talk about a bit,
(20:00):
and they had a fifteen point a game scorer, the
coach's son who was hurt in surgery.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Yeah, I see that's great because that's details. How much
do you think the governor really knows about college basketball?
About all this nothing?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
I mean, really, he's worried about him, hence the investigation,
worried about a batch. As for you, he's worrying about
a backyard deal. He's worrying about things that happened in backyards.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
What happened, Well, the stone guy came in and said,
to redo the backyard here. Stones is going to be
about three thousand dollars. I got him down to twenty
five hundred. We made a backyard deal. We're just gonna
use fewer stones. We can have two rows of stones,
we don't need five.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I went to home depot. I got that shit for
the backyard. I said, hey, you know three ninety nine, No,
it's on sale. It's actually two ninety nine this week. Oh,
I got a backyard deal on that.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
You No, we didn't have a hoop at our house,
but now we got a chance to.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Pull one up because they made a backyard name in
a backyard, sorry, backroom, back room, backroom deal, backroom dealer.
Oh whoa, whoa, that's a whole other thing. Yeah, no
it is. I mean, I mean you gotta have a
back I mean a deal in the backyard. Could you
have a deal in the back room of a backyard.
Speaker 4 (21:07):
If there is one of the home depot sheds. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
so that is that is doubly world. It's doubly bad.
That's doubly bad. I have asked the Attorney General to
step in here. What I would say is because he's
not doing anything currently, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would say, okay,
can you tell me, Like, there's lots of other things
I think that we're facing as a country that we
need to look at more, like you know, the economy
(21:29):
and eggs and all these but let's let's make sure
we get West Virginia into the tournament. He's gonna use
public money just to buy expensive eggs to.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Throw them at the tournament. I really, you know, And
because now like now I go into restaurants and they
say if I order an omelet, like it's a fifty
cent search.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Yard, it's an eggs sit charge.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I'm like, okay, let's figure that. No, no, no, let's
see why West Virginia didn't make the tournament. Let's see why.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Pretty soon they're gonna be selling eggs, not by the dozen,
but in singles.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Yeah, I want to buy one egg? Just what? Just
one egg? What do they call that? Cigarettes? And lucy? Yeah, lucy.
You can buy a lucy. Yeah, you buy a lucy. Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But this recipe calls for two eggs.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Sorry, you have one egg? Can get an egg and
a half? You know, one egg? I just want the
egg whites. Is that fifty cents? Because then you can
reuse the yolk of the egg. No, no, no, not
got anyone. That's all part of the egg. Uh. This
is where you know, I see this and I go, now,
where could this possibly be going? And now the next
big grand standing press conference I'm sure from from uh
(22:29):
Patrick Morrison is going to be did you know that Bubba,
and it's not a reference to Bill Clinton? Did you
know that Bubba who runs North Carolina gets a bonus
for his team making the NCAA tournament.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
All he's got to do well these days, all you
got to do is say it at a press conference apparently.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Doesn't have to be true at all. See the governor is.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
You know that's you're right, that's down the road.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Bubba Cunningham U NCAD gets a sixty thousand dollars bonus
if North Carolina makes a tournament. Who ran the selection committee?
The answer is Bubba cunning Ham, Right, all the big
posters are gonna go up Bubba Bubba sucks and all
this stuff and everything else that's gonna I mean, really
that that's the worst optic for the nc you could possibly.
(23:14):
We don't like that.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Bubba is they're gonna barbecue.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
We're gonna boil him. We're gonna broil him, We're gonna
bake it. We're gonna sell it in basketball in a basket.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
By the way, as we get near that basketball, the
Dodgers comes up at old basketball. Literally tonight, one of
the Dodgers beat writers found a Bubba Gump shrimp restaurant
in the Tokyo Dome Complex. There is, yes, there's still
Bubba Gump restaurants. It's not close to Los Angeles, but yes.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
All right, wow, all right, because the only one I
knew that they had was down in Long Beach.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
But might I might be closed, used to be one
in Anaheim and met there. Of course, you could say
that about a lot of restaurants used to be one
here there.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, yeah, that's closing the Santamanica peer, knucklehead, Is there
one the people?
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Really?
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I don't know that, Okay. I thought the one was
closest in longde I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Okay, all right, closest to who to La, closest to
Los Angeles in Long Beach.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Oh all right, all right? Yeah see Now I want shrimp, shrimp,
bob shrimp, and how many items that the one in
Tokyo think are named after a show? Hey, all of them,
all of them. In fact, it's it's it's bubba Otani
shrimp is what it's going to be. That's say that again.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You call a Tonia shrimp one more time, saying I
said bubba Otani Shrimp company, the big Okay, bubba Otani
Jumbo our jumbo shrimp for the big shrimp. Your safety,
I recommend you using that going forward.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Hey, no, here, shrimp is the fruit of the sea,
you know, for both your safety. I'm gonna sick Patrick
Morrissey on you. He's gonna uncover a gross mischaracter of
justice here for the turner, and I've.
Speaker 5 (24:46):
Asked Attorney General Mkowsky to launch an investigation.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Investigation.
Speaker 4 (24:53):
Meanwhile, Uccusky's going, oh, I gotta do I gotta deal
with this crap now.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I don't have enough on my mind when the who
is it? NBC was doing the World Series in the
eighties and it was the Cardinals. Willie McGee was playing outfield.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Do you remember where.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
There was a home run or not home run? Was
there fan interference? And there was interference by a Cardinal
fan And the governor of Missouri was so upset that
the great name of any citizen of Missouri would be impune.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
So he actually.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Held a press conference like the one we're hearing, to
go up against NBC and against Vince Gully who was
the announcer and saying, what are you people doing? Saying
about we would never went okay, we all saw the
game it was it was interference? What you And then
he changed his mind and said to NBC, how about
(25:49):
I give you like a key to the city type
of thing and we can do it in the booths
on the pregame show. That's the only Vince Gully telling
that story. It is older years. That's the only time
I've heard Vin then follow up with the sentence, and
I've never forgiven him for that, And so I'm guessing
someone on the committee will come up with that sentence.
(26:10):
After all, we've heard from West Virginia's governor today.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Uh, he was actually going to run for governor and
then he decided not to and he ran for attorney
general instead. And now you know, obviously now the governor
is sicking him. Now now Morris, who's governed?
Speaker 4 (26:24):
Did you know the the Uh, the governor previously of
West Virginia's name was Jim Justice.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Like, I vote for the guy just with that name.
I don't care what you know. He needs to be

Speaker 4 (26:40):
There's no justice with vernors. But I would vote for

Dave Justice for governor.
Speaker 3 (26:48):

Speaker 4 (26:51):

dollar for soda, which the soda machine, which sounds like
one of the local anchors during sweeps, weeeks, Dave Justice
is looking out for you, and he's gonna have a
special five part series that you knew nothing about.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Hi, I'm Dave Justice. I want to know where my
dollar is going to that I'm paying for soda. I
don't see it on the field. I've asked JB.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
McCuskey to look into this right away.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I'm Dave Justice.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
How did the Braves only win one series series with
that pitching's test?
Speaker 1 (27:29):
I'm on it Monday at eleven. I'm Dave Justice. I
approved this message. So big stuff out of the NFL
Free agency this weekend, right the two biggest stories we
had the Bengals signing both of their receivers, which is like, wow, okay,
we're gonna give one guy money. They give Jamar Chase
all kinds of money, They give T Higgins money. They
get to keep both of them. They almost gave Chase
(27:50):
all the money. Yeah, they almost said, I'm sure. Jamar
Chase said, listen, if you just give me the money
you were given T Higgins, we don't need him anymore.
Just give me all that money.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
At least T Higgins gets something that's called more than
a one year contract.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yes, and he got one hundred and twenty four million.
Jamar Chase got over one hundred and fifty million, and
Cooper Cupp got forty five million to go to the
Seahawks and himself. Of that money, I'll be an honest.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Slightly different routes those two.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Yeah, of all that money, who I'm surprising who I
think is overpaid? I think it's Cooper Cup all right,
at least I know Higgins and Chase are great. Cooper
Cupp like this, he's still really good. I mean, the guy,
the guy, what are they gonna ask him to do?
Even when he came back like he he can't be
met catch He had no Yeah, he had no role
in the in the Rams offense, like he was just
(28:34):
out there taking up space like it was we're throwing
the ball in the cool who else, nobody else. And
while we'll get to the Bengals part of it in
a few minutes, just for a couple of minutes on
the Seahawks here, I just I don't get what they're doing,
you know, in theory, Okay, they replaced Gino Smith with
Sam Darnold. What do they do? They pay a little
bit less money than what Gino Smith wanted. Sam Donald
(28:54):
is seven years younger. They've had the best of Gino
the last couple of years and they haven't been able
to cash it. Okay, so I get in a sense
it's a good trading, right, But at the same time,
they also trade a dk Metcalf who asked for a
trade but maybe would have stayed. If they know, hey,
we're bringing a new quarterback. Things are gonna be a
little bit better because you know, I'm sure he wasn't
happy being usurped as the number one receiver in Seattle
(29:18):
by Jackson Smith, the Jigbo who is phenomenal. Uh so
and Gilby. So we did the thing at quarterback, but
we're gonna make it a little bit tougher for him
because we're gonna trade away DK Metcalf. Okay, we'll get
draft picks back, all right, So maybe we're kind of
reassessing here. No, now we're gonna go give money to
Cooper Cup who is thirty two years old, and we
don't know if the guy's done. So, like, I don't
(29:38):
get what Seattle's trying to do.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
But it's such a good story. He's from Washington.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
It is it's a great story. I guess Eastern I
get to go home again. Hey, I'm back washing. Yeah,
I'm like I see this and I what Seattle is doing.
It's like the category of do something even if it's wrong,
because I don't think they don't have a consistent message. Yeah,
we're trying to reload. We're also starting over, but we're
trying to win now. It's like when I would get
(30:04):
to the point earlier in my life and my wife
and I go, you know, we got to do something
with this living room. The living room just needs to
we need to do something. So we move the furniture around.
Let's do this, and we move the TV around, and
it's a different living room, but it's still the same
living room. Okay, well and then two years you move
the furniture back to back.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
That's what we're gonna do this in this and it realized, oh,
it's still the same room.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We just move stuff around like that to the Seahawks
are doing. We're still in the same boat. Because yeah,
Donald's younger, but Gino Smith's been better the last few
years in donald has Donald's had the one year. Yeah,
we brought in Cooper Cup. We gave him the money
that we should and we got rid of dk Metcalf,
who was better than Cooper Cup and is younger. What
are we doing? Like, I feel like we're just moving
stuff around to make it seem like we're really just
moving our feet. Like that's that Seattle trying to find
(30:47):
out what's trending right now in the wide world of sports,
from special delivery Steve to Saga Steve, what do you
got for us right now?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
