Oh, the Doug Gotlip Show broadcast lip on the tyreight
dot com studios tyret dot com. If we get there,
unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road has to protection
over ten thousand recommended dollars tyret dot com the way
tire buying should be. You know, here's the thing. We

(00:48):
had the and I don't think it's over, but it's
definitely died down. We had the me Too movement? Was
that what do we think that's like two thousand and
seventeen through like two twenty nineteen, right right? Is that
about right there? Jayson?

Speaker 3 (01:03):
You think right? Yep?

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, the me Too movement? And you know, basically it
was it was really mostly Hollywood actresses and the idea
behind it was and it spread into the rest of
business culture, which was you had for years the idea
that men who were in charge would use their position
of power to well, I don't have to explain what

(01:28):
the me too movement is it, right do I?

Speaker 3 (01:30):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Okay? I think the fear in the me too movement
and cancel culture and so it's a reasonable fear, is Hey,
let's just make sure that we it's it's like it's
like chemotherapy, right, Like chemotherapy, if you ever had somebody
goes to they it kills everything, right, not just the

(01:53):
bad cancer cells, it can kill the good cells as well,
and you just you're sitting on the outside. I'd be like, well,
let's just make sure that we want to get the
bad actors, but let's not get a good actor who
may have done a bad thing, or a relationship may
have soured and it was on the up and up,
and then afterwards somebody really wants to be vindictive or

(02:14):
benefit from it. Right, that's what you worry about. Dan
Steiner no longer owns the Washington Commanders. There is no
concern about Dan might have been a good guy. I
mean this widely hated, not just by people who have
reported all the things that went on, and of course

(02:35):
the fans and most of the fans. All they care
about is winning and losing, but by NFL owners. And
then when you factor in that, I think we would
all consider it was smart to have all this baggage
on the NFL to protect yourself. But you're only blackmailing
somebody if there's something too blackmail but if you've done
something wrong, And I'll be honest like I actually I

(03:00):
actually agree with him on the nickname thing. But it
wasn't what he said, it was how he said it. Right.
There's a way to want to use the brand and
think the brand actually benefits Native American and being understanding

(03:22):
and matter of fact and warm and genuine about it,
and then you can just be a jerk and be
like you know, over my dead body. This show is

(03:44):
is no more dance seinnder Day. I got a summer
question for you to put out on social media, and
this is a real question. You guys ready for it?
This is a real thing. It's your favorite kind of
bottled water. And I'm old enough down to remember when
bottled water first beaked thing. Do you guys remember when
bottle water first became a thing. You're like, I cannot
believe people are paying for water that you can get

(04:06):
out of your tap, and they're like buying it out
the store. And then there was a good, like twenty
year run where that was the staple, Like unless you
had the sparklets at your house, you got the bottle water.
And they're like, you know, it's kind of terrible for
the environment, and people waste them and then they end
up in the oceans and streams and the rivers and
you know, et cetera, et cetera. It doesn't mean that

(04:28):
you have to go out and buy bottled water, because
I'm talking about bottled water. But everybody has their favorite
bottle of water, don't they, Jase, what's your favorite bottle
of water?

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I've become a smart water guy and so much so,
and maybe it's because of the ingredients. I don't know
what they put in it. But when I drink anything
other than smart water, I get I remain thirsty, So
I don't know that that tells you about my hydration
levels or something. But smart water is like the only
thing that satiates me. So maybe it's something in the

(04:59):
content that makes it addictive or something, but I need
my smart water.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
By the way, is that possible? Is it possible to
drink water and not be thirsty and still be maybe
sound salt?

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Don't something like I've heard like thesani has salt in
it and that's why you get more thirsty after drinking it.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah. Maybe, but that's the thing with me smart water.
That's I remember what you're talking about. It was twenty ten.
I remember vividly. I was dating a woman who was
of a different generation, and she was a water snob
and was all aquafina. And if you got her, like,
I don't know anything other than aquafina, especially what is

(05:41):
it DESIGNI is that what.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It is like?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
She would not drink it. And that was the first
introduction I had to a generation of people that didn't
grow up on tap water, that actually have deciphering tastes
for water.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
That was the first time Dougas Perrier considered is that
something different?

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Perier is like club soda, the carbonated water, This would
be flat well, is that the if you go to
a fancy restaurant they ask you if you want to carbonator,
you want bubbles, you want flat? This is flat bottled water.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
Mansi is considerably younger than us, so I want. I'm
anxious to hear what her take is on bottled water.

Speaker 5 (06:22):
I am a little bit bougie, I will say. I
also always have a bottle of water, and smart water is.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Probably what I'm carrying. In fact, there it is. I
have a giant bottle of smart water. I agree. I
don't know what's in it. Maybe there's crack. I don't know,
but it is delicious. I one agree.

Speaker 5 (06:39):
I hate arrowhead. Arrowhead, to me is the worst. I
totally taste the difference. I'm not a huge fan of
Fiji either. Fiji water.

Speaker 7 (06:49):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
Smart water has a carbonated vapor, distilled water, calcium chloride,
magnesium chloride and PoTA see him by carbonate.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
And electrolytes, right and electrolytes. Yes.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
And it's a Coca Cola product.

Speaker 6 (07:07):
Yes, so is desny.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yes, you're like, I don't. I don't drink coke products.

Speaker 4 (07:14):
There you do.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I'm also about you.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Is it called crystal geyser?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Yeah, like crystal geyser. Yeah, anything that says geyser in
it worth good. I mean out some sort of like
hole in the wall, right or hole in the ground.
So yeah, crystal geyser. Dog, there you go.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
A hole in the wall. Is a dike orright? Is
that what's called? Yeah, fill the dike out?

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Excuse me?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Isn't that what dams? There's dikes and dams, right.

Speaker 4 (07:45):
I thought geyser was the thing that comes like.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Shoot geysers like old faithful.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Absolutely, I'm an aquafina guy, Okay, and has uh it's
like reverse oxidation or something like that or osmosis. I
don't know what that is. It has some of the
same ingredients as well. It's got calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, something,

(08:09):
bar bicarbonate, sulfate, chloride, nitrates, got a bunch of stuff.
I just think it tastes better than the rest.

Speaker 4 (08:16):
Now, Monty said she can taste a difference in water,
can you yes? Okay, yes, yeah, can you just do.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I don't know if it's a taste thing. I just
know that the comparison of smart water to other waters
is that my body feels differently. I'm I could feel
less hydrated, So that's not a taste thing. So no,
I don't think I could taste the difference.

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Well, you feel less hydrated when you use smart water,
and you don't.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Use smart water when I do not. I was at
six Flags the other day. It was just so hot
and there was there crowded.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Was that how crowded was it?

Speaker 3 (08:51):
It wasn't very crowded, you know, twenty thirty minute lines
was great. But they have water fountains, like functioning water fountains,
which is foreign post COVID and stuff. I wonder what
water comes out of those water fountains because they were being.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Used, you know, but even you wonder what water comes
out of the water fountain.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I'm just wondering, where is that regular tap water?

Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
I didn't even think that you could like serve that
at an establishment anymore. Why drinking tap water? I don't know, or.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Something like water fountains all over California? Why didn't you
think you get certain because of COVID?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Maybe I don't know. It just looked foreign and I
just assumed along the way that.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
They're like I did not know they had water fountains
of that.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
We can't serve drinking water anymore or tap warroom.

Speaker 6 (09:40):
I prefer tap water over arrowhead.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
How much water do you drink a day?

Speaker 4 (09:44):
How much?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
I drink A lot of water.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
I get up in the middle that I almost every
night to use the restroom. That's how much water I drink.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
She said, you got out to drink water. But it's
to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 6 (09:54):
No, yeah, it's to go to the I sleep.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
Oh you should.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
I'm that person that has five empty water bottles next
to their bed.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (10:01):
That's me.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
So you're really the reason that's caused pollution.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Yes, yes, bears one thousand well hydrated. I'm super hippocritical.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
Uh no, you're not hypocritical?

Speaker 9 (10:13):
If you? If you?

Speaker 2 (10:14):
If you?

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Do you talk ish about people who also ruin the earth?

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (10:19):
No, I don't talk ish, But I like bought a
hybrid plug in car because I was like, I want
to help the world.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
And then I use a bottle of water every day.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
So do you reuse the same bottles? And no, no,
recycle everything.

Speaker 6 (10:32):
I do, recycle everything I can.

Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yes, okay I have. There's two reality shows that came
to my mind today. Okay. The first is, so you
guys saw. How would you describe, guys, the area that
the uh what is it? What is it called? The
power ball was? So one person on a powerball ticket
had a powerball ticket that was a winner. It's over

(10:55):
a billion dollars and it's in what downtown LA?

Speaker 10 (10:59):
Right?

Speaker 3 (10:59):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
So where is it?

Speaker 4 (11:01):
I would say it's more like nearest Crypto dot Com
in that area, right, like one hundred and eleventh streets.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
And so for people who used to who don't know
Los Angeles where Crypto dot Com is, that used to
be the worst part of the lost or one of
the worst parts of Los Angeles, right, And I know
everybody makes fun of Los Angeles says it's bad. Now
there are definitely parts where the homeless uhness problem is
massive and it's not nearly the bright shining beacon it

(11:28):
should be. But I think where that like little liquor
store it was purchased, it's not a great area. Is
that Is that fair?

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Yes? That's fair?

Speaker 10 (11:37):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (11:37):
Okay, So there's one of like three possibilities of who
could have had that powerball ticket. The first is it's
like a businessman, You're like, oh man, I need some
tic tacks and some gum. You know when I grab something,
I got to hit the road. I'm getting over to
the valley and you run in. Yeah, I'll take a
powerball ticket. It's the first guy. Second guy is one
who's he's powerball guy and no matter what he's doing

(11:59):
or how much she has, you know, like comes in
every Friday or every you know before everybody and buys
his powerball ticket or tickets, and the other one is
like a down on his luck, you know, I don't
have a pot to pee in or a window to
throw it out of. And that person wins it. I
think we all kind of, don't we all hope that

(12:20):
that's the person who wins it. And isn't that like
the world's greatest reality show? Like a guy who literally
has nothing, he like, comes up and somebody gives him
five bucks and he could go and buy food that
that that fills his stomach and makes him happy and
sustains him. Instead, he walks in and buys a powerball

(12:40):
ticket and then he takes him a billion dollars and
then we follow him around with TV cameras. Yeah, so
that's that's a great reality show, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Absolutely? And I think that it could be it could
be done like the reality show. I don't know, because
it might be too immediate. But to give the person
full anonymity and discretion, I think you need to like
a long term, long game documentary and then release it
three or four years later, after the person has been
able to like secure his life and or their life

(13:09):
and home and stuff. But I think I would watch
that in a second, in a heartbeat.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
The other one, the other reality show I wanted was,
I want to know if this stuff that we put
in recycles is really recycled? Great question, or if you
put you know, supposedly, if you put recyclable stuff in
your regular trash, they recycle that anyway. Right, does anybody
actually know do we have any checks and balances on
the whole recycling system?

Speaker 4 (13:35):
No, I don't think.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
So we completely take their word for it, right, And
this is no disrespect to garbage band. Okay. Now the
days of like them getting in and picking up like, no,
they never leave the truck. It's like a video game
for him now, right, like whatever. But the idea that
they're going to sit there and go like, hey, hold on, guys,
that's plastic, let's put that over there. I just don't

(13:57):
see it happening. I don't see that level of attention
to detail or or investment in their job. Wait a second, guys,
I think that's a metal let's separate.

Speaker 4 (14:11):
I do know because Susanna and I take my wife,
Susanna and I take recyclables to a recycling center, and
I do know there you do have to separate different
types of bottles and different types of plastic stuff. Like
you know, if you drink let's say, an apple juice
bottle from like a store, it's different than a water bottle.
You have to separate them. I don't know if it's
for the weight, but they do sit there and go nope,

(14:34):
that has to go over there. That's over there. But
that is a recycling center done different than what you're
talking about, which is just.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Even the recycling center though right the cycling center ends
up getting picked up by a recycling truck and yeah,
it all goes in recycling whatever. But do we really
know if all of that actually gets recycled or does
it get dumped into one big bucket and then like
a machine picks them apart? And like, why do we
do all this recycling to begin with?

Speaker 4 (14:56):
We just did it for optics, I would, don't you
see sometimes they have like a plate it says put
together from recyclable products.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
Yes, I have.

Speaker 5 (15:04):
Running shoes that are made of supposedly supposedly yeah see
again hypocritical again.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
But I'd like to see that made, wouldn't you?

Speaker 4 (15:11):
You want to see a documentary on made. I want
to start to finish.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I want to put my aquafina bottle into the track.
I want to have a camera on it. I want
to follow it up onto the you know, and then
be like, uh, be like that. Which toy story was?
That was that toy story two with lots of hugging,
hugging bear ride and he goes into the incinerate or
whatever and then it comes out as go and then
all of a sudden it gets shipped to a factory,

(15:35):
and then the factory gets made into Mansi Bolangos's shoes.
But I want to see it all happen.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
I think that was three Toy Story two?

Speaker 6 (15:41):
Was the three?

Speaker 4 (15:42):
The guy that was prime guy, that the digger guy.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Oh no, it was the guy who played Newman, right.
The guy who played Newman was the was the collector
of the old set of wood. He round up Hey,
that was Toy Story two. So Toy Story three, you're correct,
was lots of hugging bear and then Toy Story four
is like the saddest movie ever.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
That's what I heard. I haven't watched it.

Speaker 2 (16:07):
Oh you can't, like, yeah, your kids get a little older.
You don't watch that about it's about like the kids
leaving the house. It's it's a rough one.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Covered a lot of ground in this week.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Yeah, hour seventeen minutes.

Speaker 2 (16:22):
I just like, listen, these are things that are on
my mind. Like I saw the guy win the power
Ball and they showed like little liquor storm, Like, dude,
that's a reality. That's an amazing show. Like I wish
there was a way in which we could find out
who it was before he found out who it was,
and like somebody goes like hey, and this guy's like
pass like what it's like a super stoner. He's like,
what the day? Didn't you buy power Ball last night? Yeah? Man,

(16:45):
what was your numbers? Seven twenty four? I don't know, bro,
it's over on the counter.

Speaker 9 (16:52):
We get it, we get it.

Speaker 4 (16:53):
Well, remember Doug the last person who wanted the big
billion dollars here in California. He's still being sued for
what right for The person claims that he had the
ticket and they took it from him. That that and
gave it to that guy.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Oh that's dirty. Yeah, do they have video who bought
the ticket?

Speaker 3 (17:12):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (17:13):
He's asking for video, the guy who claims it tis.
He's saying, there has to be some video of me,
and actually the person remembers that there. Yeah, so when
you win that money, there's gonna be somebody come out
of the woodwork summer saying, hey, I was there at
that mini mark too. So it's going to take a while.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Yeah, which one of those reality shows would you most
want to watch? Stuart?

Speaker 9 (17:39):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (17:39):
No, that the lottery winner? Yes, that's that's gotta be
like the holy grail of a documentary.

Speaker 2 (17:46):
Spend billion dollars.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
I was telling Jason that the guy who won the
last one of the big ninety nine billion whatever it was,
he bought like within three months, he bought like a
mansion in the Hollywood Hills. Then he bought a mansion
I guess you could call that in Altadena, where he
actually is from. Then he bought like a Lamborghini that
was like six hundred thousand dollars in like three months.

(18:11):
So I don't know how much money that is, but
he was going for it. I mean, he definitely had it.

Speaker 2 (18:15):
Why would you buy two houses so close to get by?
I went to the beach by wing the mountains by
one somewhere else.

Speaker 4 (18:19):
Yeah, no, not him, and he bought it. He hired
three bodyguards as well to protect him at all times.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
I don't even we don't even know who this guy
Isn't he needs three bodies. Game to.

Vedeena joins us, he's our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider, Mark,
what's your favorite kind of bottled water?

Speaker 7 (19:27):
What's my favorite kind of bottled water?

Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah? Hmmm.

Speaker 7 (19:30):
I like a lot of them, But if I really
had only choose one, probably Spiji. It seems like it's
a lot fresher whenever I have it. But chiefs their own,
by the.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Way, Jason Jay stew I forgot to mention Mark Shapiro,
who I think he's what second in charge and endeavor
now right? But Mark Shapiro was famously the producer in
Jim Rome's ear when Jim Rome did the interview with
with uh, what's the name Jim Everett? Right, and he's like,

(20:04):
call me Chris one more time, called him Chris right.
The story is that Mark Shapiro, who is a young
producer at times like call him Chris, call him Chris right.
Mark Shapiro, when he was ahead of ESPN, he would
only drink FIGI water. You're you're among royalty there.

Speaker 7 (20:19):
I made the right choice.

Speaker 2 (20:21):
No, I don't think so. I'm an aquafina guy. But
that's it's just.

Speaker 7 (20:24):
It's I love as well. Don't go.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
There's no wrong answer to this. There's no wrong answer
to it. There's no right answer to it. Although Moncey
thinks that what is it arrowheads the wrong answer? No, no,
something else. I can't what Moncey said. Monty was very
anti one of the water things. I mean, she was
willing to fight anybody.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
Yes, arrowhead sucks taste arrowhead.

Speaker 7 (20:46):
You may as well just shrimp out of the tap.

Speaker 2 (20:49):
As I said, I'd rather drink tap rather like an
elementary school where kids have been putting their mouth on
the on the on the on the thing. That's that's
that's that's about how how bad it is. If you
if you won, if you won power Ball last night,
would you be on the radio today?

Speaker 7 (21:08):
I might be on the radio, but maybe I probably
wanted to disclose it. They always advise that if you
win the lottery, you keep it to yourself and the
accountants before everything gets resolved, for lots of reasons, safety reasons,
you know, the extended family members coming out of the world.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
We know what I'm talking about, though, Like, do you
keep doing what you're doing? You're like, dude, deuces, I'm out.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
Well, I'll be honest, Doug. I love what I do
and I would never turn down a radio inquiry from you,
So I would still stay.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Off in what a nice liar? In What a nice,
nice liar? Okay, So the Sixers appear to be actively
shopping James Harden, but there's reports that there's no real
market for James Harden. What ends up happening here?

Speaker 7 (21:54):
Yeah, if I had a guess, I think that James
Harden stays with the Sixers at least to open training camp.
You know, from what I've told as of this morning,
is that they're certainly entertaining the market and seeing what's available,
but their standards pretty high, you know, specifically with the Clippers,
which seems to be the main player in play. I've
been told they're not really enamor with any of what

(22:16):
the Clippers have had to offer, because you know, they're
really interested in Paulin George and Kawhi Leonard and those
aren't options. And so you know, when you look at
James Harden and you know the recent developments with Joel
Embiid and his comment. It was really to me that,
you know, Joel talked with Jeryl Morey and talked with management, professing, Look,
I don't want out. I want to be here. So

(22:39):
I think that that's what's going to happen, at least
in the short term. But this will very well could
be like the first signal of potential changes down the
line if things don't get better, but at least right now,
I would be surprised that either Domino falls.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Stut Gottleib show here on Fox Sports Radio. I haven't
heard a lot of Lillard thing where are we with that?

Speaker 7 (23:02):
Yeah, it's kind of kirk it too. I think that
that's what we're going to have to brace for, not
just because this has happened the last few weeks, but
if there is any time of window for front office
folks to get away recharge, they do it now. Look,
they have a job to do. But I think that
the circumstances here is that there's not much urgency because

(23:23):
there's there's no tangible timeline for this to get resolved.
You know, I think that you'll start hearing things even
more maybe in the next few weeks, even when training
camp opens, because even though Portland's stress and we're going
to take the best deal available, we're comfortable with, you know,
even going to the into the season with Damian Lillard.

(23:44):
I think it's their hope that they find a deal
before training camp. I think, at least in short term,
it's it's been kind of status.

Speaker 2 (23:51):
Quo stuh Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. That's
the voice of Mark Medina. Of course our Fox Sports
Radio NBA inside. You need to follow them on social
media for all of your updates for everything that's going
on in the association. We've had, you know, we had
some shuffling of the deck, right, I mean, we had
Brad Beial trade and we've had some we've had some

(24:12):
other other kind of movement. But it's interesting, like people
thought the Lakers won the off season when you know,
you added a point guard who did start for the
Eastern Conference champions, but it's not like he's an All Star.
And outside of that, it's kind of the same team.

(24:33):
What are the realistic expectations in the league, what the
Lakers are going to do next year?

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Yeah, well, look, I was one of those people that
didn't necessarily say the Lakers won the off season so
to speak. I mean, you only win an off season
when you make a like a blockbuster trade. But I
think that they did as well as they could because
for the first time in a while, they valued, you know,
the idea of continuity and depth as opposed to trying
to chase a third star. So I think philosoph typically,

(25:00):
they did everything that they should. Now where does that
put them in the mix? You know, I put Denver
still ahead of them. I put Phoenix still ahead of them.
I think you could make an argument that, you know,
if all things hit of lebron Ady, I want to
stay playing Ollyton too, because that's unrealistic. But being relatively
healthy and you know, the incumbent role players building off

(25:22):
the last season, the new role players finding a decent
fit that they could be third. But you could also
shuffle that order around because you have to account for,
you know, the Golden State Warriors, you have to count
for the Clippers. You know, obviously they have their own set.
I watched the marks about Kawhi and Paul George with
their health every season, but on paper, you know, that's
a team you have to consider same thing with Memphis.

(25:43):
You know, obviously short term they take a hit with
John Morant missing the season because of his suspension, but
you know, they've also shown a track record that they
can do well without him, and I think that Marcus
Smart edition is huge. So with that, I think, you know, really,
after Denver and Phoenix, it's kind of this wow while
West where really anything can happen with the rest of

(26:05):
the landscape.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
What the Draymond Green punch. When Jordan Poole took a
whole different step yesterday as he went back and forth
with Draymond with Jordan Poole's dad, Jordan Poole's dad, right,
and he basically was like, look, you know, I can
talk trash talk, guys can talk whatever. There's some things

(26:27):
that are said that you know, are different. But then
he wouldn't tell anybody what was said. What do people
in Golden State really think of how Draymond has handled
this whole thing?

Speaker 7 (26:39):
Yeah, I mean they're not thrilled with it. Obviously they
weren't happy when the punch happened. But I think you know,
for veteran for worse, when you're evaluating how Golden State
has handled this and how it's viewed it. It's been
about what professional sports teams often do. It's it's not
attaching any moral behavior. It's about what helping them win

(27:01):
basketball games. And so I think at the beginning of
the season last year, I mean, they made it clear
they never ever defended you know, Jordan Poole getting punched,
and they've never defended it now. But at that point
they also were leaning toward, look, we probably have more
trust in Jordan Pool's upside, hence the extension and you know,

(27:22):
the flexibility for possible deals as they did, and anticipating
we'll see what Draymond does with his performances this season.
And I think for the most part, as we saw
last season, Draymond at least offensively played up to his standards,
at least enough for them to think, you know what,
there's still some shelf life in there. So when we're

(27:44):
looking at the trade with Jordan, you have to almost
remove the punch from the equation entirely, like both for
better and for worse. And maybe that's a good thing
that they evaluate what they feel was good from a
basketball standpoint, but you know, you could also to make
the case of why are you enabling this kind of behavior.
But that's really been what has been the whole time.

(28:06):
And I think what's interesting with that punch. No doubt
there's lingering feelings about it or else Draymont want to
talk about it, but as it happened in real time,
they coexisted well enough to be able to play together
and be professional. Now, they weren't ever friends, but I
think what's interesting is that their lockers were always next

(28:27):
to each other, you know, during the season, and there
weren't any additional falling outs. But I think it was
a very pragmatic thing that played out that you know,
it wasn't the ideal circumstances as awkward. Maybe it led
to some disjointed chemistry, but I think at least from
all parties, organizationally and those players, it was well enough

(28:48):
that they co existed fine, and you know, they still
made it the layoffs.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Mark Mendina, an avid drinker of very very bougie and
expensive Fiji water who would give all of us at
least a million dollars if he hit the power ball

Back to you, Doug, All right, thanks guys. Jasey. What's
the past? You ever gone a car?

Speaker 3 (31:03):
Let's see what? Probably I don't know. One ten.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
Ramas, Oh, well, I was in college. We went to
Las Vegas and we got up to like one twenty
on the fifteen on that stretch.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
What stretch.

Speaker 4 (31:17):
There's a lot of stretches the stretch, but like Barstow
in that like just when you're in that did the
desert area, it's kind of open.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
That's that's most of the drive shoan. At some point
I just don't know, like a like after Baker when
it's like you you look and you can see you know,
pim is it prim or pim prim prim prim Like
the state line it was.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Before it was before that.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Okay, yeah, okay, moncy faster you.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Go maybe pushing a hundred?

Speaker 4 (31:50):
Yeah, really that's it.

Speaker 6 (31:51):
Yeah, that's it. That's it.

Speaker 5 (31:53):
I get nervous, you know, and then and then the
worst parties, I don't even realize I'm going almost one hundred.

Speaker 6 (31:57):
I'm like, oh, snap, put that down. What doing?

Speaker 7 (32:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I told the story to a friend of mine the
other day that I got a Chevy Camaro when I
got a scholarship to college, Like I actually wanted a
Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. And that's that's like the the
limited was the nice one is the suv. And you know,
my parents are like, well, you go off road, you
go off roading, and you crash like I live in
Orange County, Like where am I going to get anyway?

(32:22):
It's like, all right, how about a Camaro. My Dad's like, oh,
real will drive? I like that. That's called this powerful
car American made right. I it that that car in
ninety five had an LT one engine, and LT one
is the low end Corvette engine. It so you put
a Corvette engine into a new body Camaro nineteen ninety
five Z twenty eight Camaro. I was going a buck

(32:44):
fifty out to Palm Springs for a basketball tournament and
I zoomed by, like my high school coach. I remember,
he gets into and it got to the pot. We're like,
all right, this is a little fast, Like let's dial
it back. It was just to see, like see what
this thing does?

Speaker 4 (32:57):
Right.

Speaker 2 (32:58):
I watched them the duke's the hazard once. I want
to try anyway. Yeah, it was really fast. No, I
would not advise anybody to do that. Would not advise anybody.

Back to the.

Speaker 10 (33:24):
Wall and watching it sail out of here, Jake McCarthy,
here's a little bit of insurance. Back to back home
runs by Riley and Osen and for Matt one of
the highest homers he's ever hit.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
That's how progressive play today. Progress them is making things
even easier. They'll bundle your home car insurance together. They
can say, if I'm both on the more progressive dot com
called one eight hundred Progressive the Braves Radio Network, Braves
be the d back seven to five. Because of the
Braves h this segment has become I get tweets about it,

(33:59):
I get texts about it. This should be a big
national thing. Baseball has this weird deal where when you
explain things that can't really be explained, they just go
app that's baseball.

Speaker 9 (34:14):
It's time for that's baseball.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Hey, remember when the Rays were running away with the
AL East. They started the season twenty nine and seven. Well,
since then they've gone thirty one up and thirty two back.
They lost four in a row, nineteen of their last
thirty one games. Just like that, they drop into second
place in the AL East percentage points wise behind Baltimore, OURIUS.

(34:39):
How do you explain going from twenty nine and seven
to start the season the second place, it's baseball, that's baseball.
Have you seen what Mookie Betts did in his last
four games fifteen at bets Bets is not record a
single at out, three home runs, two doubles, multiple singles,
and a se fly. The fifteen n at bats is

(35:02):
the longest a player has gone without making out in
fifty years. I explained that that's baseball, that's baseball. And
with the Phillies tied with the Braves three to three
last night and the sixth inning, Bryce Harper took six
pitches and struck out the first five pitches. He didn't

(35:25):
even take the bat off his shoulder. Had he explain,
with the best pitchers or best sluggers in baseball not
even offering up at a pitch the first five pitch
he sees, I guess that's baseball.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
That's baseball.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
The press montelans, what's in the press?

Speaker 5 (35:49):
Yes, right before we get to Robert Solo, though, it
was just announced that the NFL owners have voted unanimously
to approve the sale of the Commanders to that group
led by Josh Harris. So it is official reports from
the NFL network and from ESPN just happened.

Speaker 6 (36:04):
But let's talk about Robert Sala because today.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
He spoke to the media wearing MA shirt Doug that
has I heart h K, So maybe he's had a
change of heart. Prior to the start of training camp,
he had said something like maybe lots of teams would
like Hard Knocks, you know, to be in their building,
but we are not one of them.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
So what did he say today?

Speaker 8 (36:24):
We're fine. I mean we've been doing one Jets drive
for the last couple of years, so it's just talking
with Hard Knocks and you know, they've got a great
group of people that are working with us, and we
express some of our concerns. They've they've answered it, and
it's gonna be fine.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
It's gonna be fine.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
I think Robert Sala loves Hard Knocks, Yeah, I do.
I mean he's good looking, dude, he's smart. He should
be pretty good at his job. The TV camera made
him into a star when he was on the sidelines
of the Niners, Like it's one of the bigger bull
things ever. Like, oh, like Hard Knocks, don't put the
camera in my face. God, I'm a superstar because of it.

Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah, for sure, for sure.

Speaker 5 (37:01):
He also had this to say about his new quarterback,
Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 8 (37:06):
He brings a lot of wisdom to the quarterback room.
He brings a lot of confidence to the offensive side
of the ball, and he brings a lot of excitement
to the organization. But none of it matters if we're
not attacking the day.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
So attack the day. Got to attack today, Attack today.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
I mean, so now we know they're going to attack
the day. And he actually loves hard knocks and that's
the press.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
They get out there and pressed.

Speaker 9 (37:31):
That was the press.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
Best thing. Aaron Boon's gonna lose his job. Saw a
lot of that yesterday on social media.

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Should Yeah, that's still five games over five hundred. He
lost his one of his best players, two of his
best players.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Yeah, and it's obviously that he's not a very good pitcher.
I mean, I thought Aaron Boone was terrible and all
the starts he had against the Angels in which they lost,
and he was bad out of the bullpen too. It's
like weird, like the Yankees manager. You have to go
buy the book and you got to go by what
they send you, and then when you lose, I guess
it's your fault. I don't know. That's baseball right in.
