the Dodgers on a roadie. They are in Saint Louis
taking on the Cardinals. So we will have a first
pitch at five fifteen pm from the Galpin Motors broadcast
boot Dodgers on deck coming up at four And even

(01:13):
though it is a short two to four show, Pete,
we will get you a guest per hour because it's Friday.

Speaker 4 (01:19):

Frogman.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
And when I say he, I'm talking about the great
Lloyd Bridges, who played Mike Nelson knew a little something
about the un t underwater demolition team. Here on the
anniversary of D Day eighty first, we pay homage to

(03:51):
a great war veteran, at least in the story, and
the greatest television show ever made. In rent to Palos.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Verdues Seahawks, NBA, we were giving the midgets of a
real workout. Bill was developing it to sell of the Navy.
He done a good job with its silent electric motor.
It could carry two men equipped with diving lungs about
fifteen miles at a fair speed. It still had some flaws.
The doors designed for quick escape and emergencies were sometimes

(04:18):
opened by changes and pressure, and the controls weren't perfect yet.
I enjoyed helping Bill, especially as I could see the
value of the small craft for surprise attacks and secret missions.
Not that I intended to go on any I figured
those days were in the past for me. I thought
that we were testing the subsecretly, but I was mistaken.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Dodgers, Cardinals, todd Lights need a routine five.

Speaker 6 (04:43):
What are you nuts?

Speaker 4 (04:44):
We still got to take that bordam Man. You know
what that's like these days. You got the Navy everywhere,
you got frogmen, you got the EC twos with the
satellite tracking, you got the spell two or nine as
salt choppers up the ass.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
We're losing one out of every nine loads.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
That's no duck walk anymore.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Let me tell you, forget about money.

Speaker 6 (05:06):
What do you suggest that's reasonable?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Well, what's reasonable is sea lab of course, thank you, Peter.

(05:39):
You know, I just I gotta feel this tack y
yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yr yeah
your yah your.

Speaker 7 (05:53):
Oh you go you go, go go you.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
I got a text that says no effing hopeful music
at noon. Dude, it's two o'clock. It's not that much
earlier than normal, you fool, you stupid idiot. Gott are
you stupid? I understand the way we do things around
it here.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
I do appreciate that, though, so I believe that there
is a time window for when we're allowed to play
opal music at noon. Hey, listen, you want to play
that thing at one o'clock, fine by me. Two o'clock though, no, bueno,
can't have it. Man, you're gonna wear it. Can't do it.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
I start playing it. You might start playing it at three.
What are you gonna do that? Man? What would you
do that?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Come on, man, you're throwing me off. Well, you know what,
maybe let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe
he is a is I allot to call him a
P one and he sets his clock by petros and money,
you know, three o'clock the four's one.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
If he's a B one, then he wouldn't be making
that kind of complaint.

Speaker 8 (07:06):
Yes, Jim, I'm with the text osor man, you're two
hours after noon.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
It's let's turn the page. Dude.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
It's not hopeful music at noon anymore. Some highwi that's
a list of omaha that is.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
That's not how we've done it. That's not how we've
always done it. And I'm not gonna change who I
am because some horror on the text notional shakes is ass.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
Hopeful music at noon.

Speaker 4 (07:33):
Roddie understands tradition house shake.

Speaker 8 (07:37):
About Stacy qes too of hard to two o'clock. You know,
so then you know, says two in it, not noon.
He's the producer.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
I mean, I'm getting a lot of pushback against the text.
If we're gonna, you know, tell that fool it's two
o'clock somewhere noon. Someone he says two o'clock somewhere too.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
I mean, Kate wants to play Stacey Q. I love

Speaker 4 (08:43):
If Kate's left the earrings in and he made his
scumbag in high school, he put him into the mainstay.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Did he invite you out to the Southern California Broadcasters
Association luncheon. It's not what we talked about, you know,
don't show up. I think you might be nominated if
you come to the lunch. I think I think somebody
might be nominated for the Show of the Year.

Speaker 4 (10:04):
You know what, I'm not taking it from anybody. I'm
not taking it from any I'm not taking anything more
from you today. I'm not taking any more from Tim
Kaits or Bend the intern. Popful music in noon plays
at two and at one, and we barely ever even
start at noon. Ever, it's always been a one o'clock
or a two o'clock thing. I can't believe you guys

(10:26):
didn't support me against that text. I can't believe it.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
Hey, it's frisky Friday for Tim Kays.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Frisky in there. I'm never going on w f A
N again. Daddy, all right, all right, before we go
to down McClean, it is D Day and we are
your D Day Show of record. We celebrated the author

(11:00):
yesterday on his birthday, which is interesting of the longest
day and a bridge too far, and today we have
now Matt put yourself in this guy's shoes. It's like

(11:20):
way back in nineteen forty five and you have got
to make the announcement that the D Day landing at
nine to thirty two AM is going down, and you
know it's going down, and you're on the BBC.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
So it's June sixth nineteen forty four. I'm the guy
forty four it's doing this. Yeah, it's eighty one years
ago today. John snag gave the first news of the
D Day landing at nine thirty two AM British Public Time.
Now you hear he's trying to compose himself, keep it

(11:58):
together and really give the news, not like the Hindenburg guy.
Well who did lose control is humanity?

Speaker 4 (12:05):
He did? He lost control? And you know not like
this show where we break tradition and play stacy Q
at two out of nowhere?

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Dare we?

Speaker 4 (12:14):
I don't understand it.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Doesn't anybody respect tradition anymore. We're already in the D
Day segment of the show. You can't go back to
stacy Q.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Isn't she from Fullerton and also refused to come on
the show? Is that Sheila e?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
No, that is stacy Q. We have reached out to
stacy Q to be part of a summer tour before
and she has declined.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
I can't believe it.

Speaker 4 (12:34):
I believe it. BBC news reader John Snag gives the
first news of the D Day landing. Here it is.

Speaker 10 (12:42):
This is London, London, calling in the Home Overseas and
the European services of the BBC and through United Nations
Radio Mediterraneum, and this is John Snag speaking Supreme Headquarters.
Allied Expedition. Reports have just issued Communicate number one and

(13:05):
in a few seconds I will read it toil.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
We should do that dramatic pause.

Speaker 10 (13:14):
Communica number one under the command of General Eisenhower, Allied
Naval forces supported by strong Air forces began landing Allied
armies this morning on the northern coast of France. I
repeat that Communica Communica number one, under the command of

(13:35):
General Eisenhower, Allied naval forces supported by strong air forces
began landing Allied armies this morning on the northern coast
of France. This ends the reading of Communicate number one
from Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
From now on, our studio is going to be referred
to as Supreme Headquarters.

Speaker 2 (14:05):
Good Call from now on, and the top story will
be referred to as Communicate number.

Speaker 4 (14:10):
One Communicate number one. Change it up. Rations are really
just be Stacey q at two.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
Come on, come on, you guys are into it now?

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Huh No, I'd rather uh giant night tonight. I'm living
in a fantasy and one do you think I'm a
nasty girl?

Speaker 2 (14:33):
You know what case? Why don't you reach out to
us if she wants to go to do a uh
yeah that on that I think I dm us, especially
if we're doing Stacey q at two.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
Hey, while you're at it, what don't you call it?
Why don't you call John.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Snag's John Sneak of the DBC we'll be right back
with down playing moments. I will read communicate number one,
pauses for a minute. Communic number one. I think that'll
make the show very relatable with the younger audience.

Speaker 4 (15:08):
Yeah, communicate number one, pause for a few seconds, live
from Supreme Headquarters. Let's come on, who is John Galt?

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Show's got to evolve?

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Here comes out. You know once we switched to Sheila
E and the fleg shows, things.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
Really took off.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
That's right, the chairs against the wall.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
John has a long mustach.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Come on, let's go.

celebrity Hotlight. It is Don't Want and Only Don mcclan
right in the middle of Camp Clay after a fabulous
NBA final Gameboy, what's cracking down? How are you?

Speaker 9 (17:26):
I remember a time p when I used to come
in there and fill in for Matt, and I would intentionally,
right from the get go try and get.

Speaker 6 (17:33):
The show off the rails.

Speaker 9 (17:34):
And a lot of times I succeeded. But here we
are in June of twenty twenty five and we're talking
about Stacey Q Tim's earrings and pockets full of coke.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
That's that's a better alley. Why are the best friend
of the show done?

Speaker 9 (17:52):
Why couldn't I do that? Why couldn't I be in
there today? It's right at my alley?

Speaker 4 (17:57):
I mean, I mean, I don't like this, Stacy. You
a two movement, this grassroots movement?

Speaker 9 (18:02):
How do you mind it?

Speaker 6 (18:04):
I don't mind it at all?

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Thank you, Thank you done. I guess I got to
ask the first question.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
In this tradition. I have to ask a question about
that NBA there.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Look what you've done to him. He's out.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
It's over DoD We talk about it all the time.
Tyrese Halliburton. He's a weird player, and he's he's one
of your guys from from your agency, from Camp mcclan.

Speaker 3 (18:38):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
What he's done though, is unprecedented in every round of
these playoffs, and what the team has done coming back
from these deficits. How do you explain it, how do
you process it as a basketball man and analyst?

Speaker 9 (18:53):
Well, I just hope people understand like it, not that
it doesn't look easy when you're watching it on TV,
but understand just how hard that is knowing. Look, the
thunder knew that Halliburton was shooting that shot, and he's
still found a way to not only get it off,
but get a good look and just the emotions of
that and being able to set yourself and not get

(19:15):
sped up in the moment to miss that shot, Like,
to make that shot is way harder than people think, like, oh,
it's just a seventeen foot pull up, Well yeah it is,
but not really when you know in the back of
your mind what's on the line, what this shot would mean,
and how you know you have to rise up and
make it. And I just think he's got something. Look,
I haven't worked with him since before the draft of

(19:38):
his year. He's with Drew Hanlin now. But just no
matter how unique he is, or how his jumper doesn't
look right, or what you think of him personality wise,
the guy's got something where he gets in that moment
and he's not phased and he's able to come through
almost every time.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
Don what can you say just about every sing Now
they did it against the Bucks, they did it against
the Cats, they did it against the Knicks, and now
they've done it against the Thunder. Is it the players?
Is it Rick Carlisle? What is it about a team
that is able to overcome these double digit fourth quarter
deficits and not have it phase them in the least
and get these victoris?

Speaker 11 (20:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (20:18):
Yeah, you know what's interesting that is?

Speaker 6 (20:20):
I think it's all of it. It's not.

Speaker 9 (20:21):
It's never one thing, but I do think that part
of the way they play and how fast they play,
the idea is is we let it fly. You look,
there's some structure to it, and you know, an identity
of what they're doing. But at the end of the day,
they're letting it fly. And so if you're down twenty
and in our you know, our identity is we let
it fly, then there's not as much pressure as a

(20:44):
team that relies on every single possession that's down tempo
that there's not a lot of possessions. So if you're
a team like that, you have the ability to come
back more. And I think that's a big part of
why they've been able to do it so much this
year in the play is, hey, we play so fast,
we can be down thirty and still come back. And

(21:04):
I think that's kind of been their approach. Not that
you ever want to be down like they've been down,
but I just think the style of play in their
and their identity. I've know I've said it a couple
of times, but their identity allows them to not freak
out when they're down twenty and come back and make shots.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
Does it? My identity is ear rings and a pocket
full of coked?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
It's a show, don Maybe maybe the league had become
so finesse laden that it just feels a little bit different.
But do you I feel like when I watch the
Pacers play and I see kind of how aggressive Nemhart
is and Nie Smith is, that they're letting these guys
play a little bit more physical basketball this postseason? Does

(21:50):
am I right in reading that? Does it feel that
way to you?

Speaker 9 (21:52):
Without it? Man, without a doubt, with not not even
even people that don't really know basketball, We're talking about
that because it's there has been a noticeable shift in
these playoffs. And look, I watch a lot of regular
season basketball, like you guys do. It is noticeable how

(22:12):
different the game's being called, and I freaking love it.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
I love it.

Speaker 9 (22:16):
I don't think the whole regular season should be called
like this, but if you told me, Okay, we're gonna
we're gonna call the regular season like this, and maybe
we put guys on the line a little more. But
once we get to the playoffs, you really have to
earn your fouls.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
I'm all in for that.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
They're great. Don McClain is our guest. We're always pleased
to have him on. He is the best friend of
the show. Despite his bucketing of tradition, Don I need
you so Oklahoma City still has the advantage here? Is that?
Is this kind of like Iverson beating the Kobe Lakers

(22:56):
in Game one? Or do you think it tells a
tale for the rest of the series.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
The only thing I think it does is I think
a lot of people I'm not sure I was in
this camp, but I think a lot of people thought
that OKAC might sweep them or beat.

Speaker 6 (23:10):
Them in five.

Speaker 9 (23:10):
I think the only thing with Indiana winning last night
was it kind of guarantees that this series is probably
going six or seven. I would guess, but I would
imagine that OKAC on Sunday is going to come out
and hammer Indiana in game two, and then we'll see
what happens once it gets to Indiana with the series.

Speaker 2 (23:28):
Tied one to one, and you know, with the NBA Finals,
it's the two three two format, and I like, hot,
do you feel like that that? Does it favor the
team that you know, the team that still is the
home team and has the two early in the too
late because it's hard to beat a really good team
three games in a row? Does it favor the visiting
team because if you do manage to get a split,

(23:49):
man as that pressure on with three home games where
you can close it out.

Speaker 9 (23:54):
You know what's interesting, Matt, is that I haven't really
thought about it. I obviously know that it's two three
two in the finals, but why why is every other
series two two one one one and the finals is
two three to two? Like why does that change? I
don't understand that, Like travel, okay, what's the finals?

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Who cares?

Speaker 9 (24:11):
There's days in between games? Like you can string out
the finals as long as you want, so, you know,
I haven't put much thought to the format being two
three to two but I do think that it should
be two two one one one like the rest of
the series. So I you know, look, if you if
you get up and you steal a game like Indiana did,

(24:32):
now you got three at home. Are you gonna win
three in a row at home? Probably not? So then
it flips back to the home team that's got the
last two games. But if it were up to me,
I would vote to sending it back to how all
the other series are.

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Why is it like that that's neither relevant nor applicable
to this desision? U. Uh, they fired Thibodeau in New
York and uh, I mean for obvious reasons.

Speaker 7 (24:58):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
The owners a weirdo, and Thibodeau seems like a hard ass.
But what do you think of that? And who might
get the job or if it's an attractive job to
somebody like Jason Kidd or somebody.

Speaker 9 (25:10):
Else, Well, it's certainly an attractive job, especially if you
want to if you as a kid, say, if you
want to smoke, because it's a high pressure, high stakes
job and they expect to win, even though they haven't
went won in a long time. But it's the Garden,
It's New York City, you know, Tibbs is an interesting guy.
He can really coach, but he demands so much like
his his film sessions are legendary. You talk to players

(25:33):
like Carl Towns, who played for him in Minnesota. I've
talked to a bunch about that, and he just, you know,
it's a lot playing for TIBs. It just is like
the shoot arounds are longer than everyone else's, the film sessions,
the practices, and so you just wonder. And from what
I've read, I haven't talked to him because I used
to work for Leon Rose at ca IF.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
Leon.

Speaker 9 (25:53):
You know, when he talked to the players, they're just like, man,
you know, yeah, we got to the Eastern Conference finals,
but you know he only played seven guys for most
of the year. We're going through these marathon film sessions, Like,
I'm not sure how much longer I can do that.
I have a feeling that had something to do with it,
not just that, you know, Indiana beat him and stole
that game one when they were down so much, or

(26:15):
game whatever it was. And so I'm not sure who
the right guy for the job is. You obviously have
a good roster. Brunson's become a superstar. Towns as an
all Star, you have enough to win the whole thing.
But it's really comes down to whose personality can get
in that locker room, get guys to buy in and
understand that we got a chance to win the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
How do we do that?

Speaker 9 (26:37):
So I'm not sure who the candidates are, but I
kind of understand why Tibbs was let go even though
he had as much success.

Speaker 6 (26:45):
As he had.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Heck, I'd go out and figure out a way to
private Carlisle away from the Pacers. Don if he Yeah,
if he gets this and I understood, Look that I'm
not saying the Oklahoma City Thunder are the Heatles, but
you know, to have that Dallas team, knock off Lebron
and Dwayne Wade and pat Riley or whatever that you know,
that whole crew. And if he's able to pull this off,

(27:07):
considering what the odds are, you know, I mean, the
Thunder are heavy favorites to get out of this thing.
Like does he do you think he enters the conversation
as like one of the all time great coaches of
his era.

Speaker 9 (27:21):
I think you have to and I think you know
you said it. They were under five hundred December and
all of a sudden, here they are winning Game one
of the finals. I think he's he's figured out a way.
I think, you know, I'm talking about Tibbs and his
style of coaching. I think Carlisle has changed his way
of coaching. It used to be his way or the
highway as well, and I think he's softened on that.
I think he understands personnel now and in playing a

(27:44):
way that fits my personnel more than how I think
the game should be played, which is a huge thing
in the NBA. There's a lot of coaches that believe
that their team, no matter who's on the team, should
play a certain way. But the really good coaches look
at their roster and say, look, this is how we
have to play based on the players.

Speaker 6 (28:02):
That are on the team.

Speaker 9 (28:03):
And I think Carlisle has gotten better at that over
the years. I don't think this style manifested itself of
Rick just all of a sudden saying you know what,
I'm gonna play faster. We're Gonnacore one hundred and fifty game.
I think he saw who he had on the team
and was like, look, we got a better chance to
win if we play this way. So yeah, I think
if they win this series, it would be a huge upset.

(28:24):
And I think that, you know, winning multiple championships with
different teams, not a lot of coaches have done that. Yeah,
I think he enters that conversation for sure.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
God McLain, the father of three basketball playing boys. Halliburton
is a Puma guy. He's got a Puma shoe. Is
Halliburton's success gonna turn the McClain boys to Puma?

Speaker 3 (28:48):
I highly doubt it.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
Okay, I highly doubt it.

Speaker 9 (28:52):
Trent played for a team. Trent played for a team.
I'll just all I'll say, And I don't know the
Puma people or anything, but Trent played for a team
last spring in summer that was Puma and it didn't
go so well, that's all I'll say. Okay, yeah, exactly,
we're talking about soccer.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
We're in Yeah, well, you know, we'll call the guy
in charge of Puma Jones.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Oh yeahh PJ. Talk about last one?

Speaker 4 (29:21):
For me?

Speaker 2 (29:21):
Uh Don was watching Alex Caruso and and obviously it's
not just you know from last night, but in this
in this postseason. But what do you think would lead
the Lakers to not want I mean, they won the
Bubble championship with him? How do you let a guy
like that go for that little money? What do you
think the thinking was there?

Speaker 9 (29:43):
So what's he making in Okay?

Speaker 6 (29:44):
See?

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Was it more than like I think?

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:47):
When they let him go, he I think the Bulls
gave him like eight million to nine million bucks a.

Speaker 9 (29:52):
Year, Yeah, which he probably earned. But you got to
think on the flip side, Matt, like who else or
the la Akers paying?

Speaker 3 (30:01):
Like what was their cap?

Speaker 6 (30:02):
Like what was the tax?

Speaker 9 (30:03):
Like I'm sure, I'm sure it had to do with
We just can't afford him at nine million anymore. We
liked him at three million or two million whatever he
was making, but we just can't fit him in at
that number. That had to be it, because there's no
way anyone watching Caruso once he emerged with the Lakers
and what he is now would ever let that guy

(30:24):
go for eight or nine million unless it had to
do with the cap.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Great Don McClain, thank you, don have a great weekend,
And uh, i'd like to I need you. I think
of a young Tim Cables.

Speaker 9 (30:40):
It's it's going to happen sometime this summer. But hopefully
when I fill in for either of you, we will
have a two o'clock show and I can get involved.

Speaker 4 (30:48):
Yeah, well, we'll see what happened. Editions are hard to break,
all right. Guess say you done?

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Thank you don.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
That and a live guy. Birthday of the Day will
be later coming up next, the Top Story of the day.
You know we started it to today. That's a hopeful
music at noon thing.

Speaker 2 (31:13):
Two of hearts, two hearts that beat us one.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
No, no, not like this. We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (31:32):

Big Game this afternoon into the evening in beautiful Saint
louis biggest thing to hit that city since the World's fan.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Hey, you gonna get some toasted ravioli.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
What I like is they never mind?

Speaker 4 (32:22):
I thought it was a great answer. You can follow
us on all social media platforms, and don't forget the
podcast the Petros Somebody Show on the iHeartRadio app for
your smartphone. It is time for a top story of
the day.

Speaker 7 (32:39):
Of the.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Well, we we got clipped yesterday, so this got pushed
to today. And I know we hate publicizing the podcast,
but in this particular case, because we know, look this
mind the Game podcast is probably gonna go away if
people like us don't pay attention and don't promote it.

(33:03):
Who else is going to go seek?

Speaker 4 (33:05):
You know, and audience covering car chases and people will
stop doing the chasing.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's right, but you know we're gonna keep covering those.
And when you got a jackass saying stupid ass like this,
we're gonna be happy to put it out there. So
this happened about five six days ago. But the funny
thing is it got like zero attention when Lebron James

(33:29):
said it.

Speaker 11 (33:30):
If they're going to allow it to be as physical
as it idious, you got to give us a little.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Time hold on Hit Pop's Real Quick Cakes. So it's
Lebron talking about the playoffs and about how your body
feels in the postseason and how much harder it is
to feel healthy and to play at peak level in
the postseason. So here is his solution for how to

(33:56):
get every player at peak level perform when the playoffs start.

Speaker 6 (34:01):
If they're going to.

Speaker 11 (34:02):
Allow it to be as physical as idiots, you gotta
give us a little time to prepare for something.

Speaker 6 (34:08):
Post All Star Break, somebody, I.

Speaker 11 (34:10):
Mean post All Star Break is usually like thirty games left,
so maybe like, yeah, maybe twelve to fifteen games left
in a regular season, Okay, like a month. There was
a month to prepare for it.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
Because so if I am to understand this right, when
there are you're gonna have the All Star Game, You're
gonna have the All Star Break, there's thirty games left
at that point. And then when you get between nine
and twelve games left in the regular season, Lebron would
like the league to hit the pause button for one month.

Speaker 4 (34:41):
We'll all move on.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
No NBA games for one month when there are nine
to twelve regular season games left.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
It's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
But here now he's gonna back it up. Here is
his reasoning.

Speaker 11 (34:59):
There was a month to prepare for it, because it
goes from zero to one hundred. It goes from us
to be able to nobody check. No hand checking, no
no pushing it out if they spot, no no re
routing guys at all for six and a half seven
months and then two months straight have at it, no
holes bar and you know it's fun.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Yeah, I have a problem.

Speaker 6 (35:24):
We'll have a problem with it. It's a contrast. It's
just a contrast, you know, of not being able to
get into that flow.

Speaker 11 (35:29):
So yeah, it's definitely over the last like you know,
like you said, ten fifteen years a game.

Speaker 6 (35:35):
They've allowed us to do it, and it's fun.

Speaker 11 (35:37):
I personally wish we could do it all year, but
also have the body makeup for to do it all
year too, so it wouldn't be beneficial to the product
to do you know, run a marathon, I mean run
a sprint during a marathon.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I don't know what the hell run a sprint during
a marathon means as it relates to somebody that wants
a month off to look. The funny thing is this
was not a talk point. This was posted. Actually this
was supposed to even longer than five days Agoes May
twenty seventh. I think this went up there. But I
think because in as much as we love pilon on

(36:10):
a guy who thought, you know, talking sports in a
barber shop was an original idea. An idiot that tried
to trademark Taco Tuesday. I think I don't think people
are paying attention. Like nobody in the sports media is
listening to the Mind the Game podcast to see if
they can pull some nuggets out.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
You really got to mind the game to get that
one out.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Yes, you got to mine the mind the game.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
Is anything going on in mind the Game that isn't
just a deep complaint or some self aggrandizing.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Just kind of as a matter of fact, Yes, there
is pe what There is a book review of the
autobiography of Malcolm X Oh for real, Yes, there's that's
in there. And then there's also a movie review of
The god Auther and The Godfather Part two that's in there.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
I guess you could hide a lot of stuff in there.
You know, there's a great quote that says, if you
want to hide a secret, put it in a book.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh there's another thing I heard in there. I don't
know if you heard this, because I think it happened
all the way back in like twenty seventeen. I think
that's when it was. But I think they ended up
finding the surveillance and the evidence for the person that
tagged his gate on it's Beverly Hills home and that
person is Yeah, that person's now been arrested. They found
it all somehow, miraculously, the security cameras in a neighborhood

(37:30):
with nothing but twenty million dollar homes finally produced video
of the individual that tagged his gate and they immediately
painted over while calling the cops at like five am.

Speaker 4 (37:40):
So yes, well, it's all revealed in the Mind the
Game podcast. I mean, my god, this is better than
any This is better than any statute of limitations on
like the JFK or URFK files or anything that is amazing.

Speaker 3 (37:54):
A month.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
I want the league to pause for a month so
my forty year old broke ass body can heal.

Speaker 6 (38:05):
It was a month to prepare for it because it
goes from zero to one hundred.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Is that how long it takes the PDEs to kick in?
A month?

Speaker 11 (38:13):
Oh, it was a month to prepare for it because
it goes from zero to one hundred.

Speaker 4 (38:19):
Month.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
We don't want to play games for a month.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
You don't have to say to everything he says either.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Yeah, and Lebron stopped repeating everything that Steve Nash says
as well. Yeah, contrast fun, Yeah, I only heither of
us have a problem.

Speaker 6 (38:36):
We will have a problem with. It is a contract.
This is a contrast.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
We have a bro No, we don't have a brother
within It's just a contra It is just a con Yeah.

Speaker 6 (38:42):
I only think heither of us have a problem. We
will have a problem with. It is a contrast. This
is a contrast.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
The only reason this thing got any traction, and I
noticed it is because Draymond Green, who has a podcast
that is widely listened to, acknowledged how dumb an idea
it was. Quote that's not possible. Guys will get out
of shape. It'll have the adverse effect. We'll end up
pulling something because we haven't played basketball in a month.

(39:08):
I don't know if this is Lebron and this this
is what this is. The Only thing I can think
of is that he that he has got rabbit ears
the size of freaking Cleveland and deeply sensitive, deeply sensitive,
and he is just trying to get hot takey, like, oh,
you know we got to get hot takey if this

(39:29):
pod podcast is different than the Shop, you know we
got to get out. That's how podcasts are. You know,
these got all that smoke. It's when somebody says something
crazy and that's how they get there, you know, Or
when Gil Arena says something crazy.

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Well, I mean I did just watch Jim Hardaway put
Nick Young noodles Nick Young deeply in his place for
trying to act like Mark Price wasn't a good player
just because he's a dorky looking white guy. I get
into that Hardaway was like that mother effort would lock
you down, and that he would not be able to
guard him.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
We had to go Tim Hardaway, and.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
He tried to. He tried to go after he called
him Craig Igloh, he's like, you're talking about El That
guy was nice.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
Shut up, Nick, you dumbass. That's the only thing I
can think of is Bronze, Like, hey, Steve, I got something, man, Wait,
do you hear what I got?

Speaker 11 (40:19):
What?

Speaker 2 (40:19):
We're gonna drop a bomb on this podcast. Everybody's gonna
be clipping it. Well, everybody's gonna be talking about it.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
For a terribly conceived and executed podcast we have been.
It's almost like going through somebody's feces for peanuts. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
I only of us have a problem, we'll have a
problem with It is a contract. This is a contract.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
I thank you, I'm sorry. How much time do you
want to just let me? I'm trying to work through this.
I'm trying to get the schedule. You know, you start
and later.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Damn, it's very full in this podcast, right.

Speaker 2 (40:48):
You know when your jaws grow, when your beer gets
bigg a break.

Speaker 11 (40:51):
He's usually like thirty games left, so maybe like yeah,
maybe twelve to fifteen games left in a regular season, okay.

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Like a month. It was a month to prepare for
a month.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
There's one month offs left, and you want to take
a month off a guy that has played two hundred
and ninety two playoff games because he's old. Once a
month off.

Speaker 4 (41:14):
It works so well for the teams with a buy
on the college football playoffs.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Yeah, you know, when there's like nine to twelve games left,
you know, like April.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Let's just take a month off.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
Why not let us heal up?

Speaker 4 (41:26):
Yeah, it's not like basketball players do other stuff now
and like hit up cantcud and let us prepare.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
Was saying, he's like, you kidding me. A bunch of
people are gonna get fat and out of shame, they're
gonna get hurt.

Speaker 4 (41:37):
I need everybody. I don't know.

Speaker 8 (41:38):
The last time they had to stopped it actually worked
for the Lakers. COVID came right next thing, you know,
they rebooted the season.

Speaker 4 (41:45):
There isn't the irony that Lebron takes a month off
at the end of the year anyway, Like doesn't he
every April leading into May?

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Doesn't he takes all that time off, He limits his minutes,
he skips some games.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
Yeah, basically he's talking about what he does anyway. Yeah,
and all the young guys have to do it now too,
because it works for your sorry ass, Lebron.

Speaker 2 (42:07):
He's like work shopping it. Well, that's just like excuit
a minute. But like after the Al Star Yeah, you know,
like when there's I don't know, nine or twelve games left,
just take a month.

Speaker 11 (42:17):
Somebody, I mean post also break is usually like thirty
games left side, so maybe like yeah, maybe twelve to
fifteen games left in a regular season, huh Okay.

Speaker 6 (42:26):
Like I'm coming up there with some dive into the
mountain for me zero.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
To We're gonna review The Godfathers our favorite scene in order,
and we'll talk about that incident at Holmbie Hill.

Speaker 6 (42:42):
We'll be right back. We got to only we don't
have a problem with it. It's a contrast. This is
a contrast, is just a contrast.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
We'll be right back with more great sports talk, word,
number song, fun, fac David Vass say Dead and Alive,
and then Tim Kaits on Marongo Casino, Dodgers on de
David Dsay's got Max Munsey on the Previo,
