a midway coming up in about sixty seconds or so.
Hit Ryan up at the Ryan Hollins. You can find
me at dan Byer on Fox. Is there still some
meat on the bone? Mark tweets in and says, you
know why Caitlin Clark's teammates didn't come to her aid
because it was an inbounds play and half the team
(00:39):
was at the other end of the court. Yes, Mark,
I agree with you. Good point. However, Aliah Boston, who
was the number one overall pick the year prior, was
the one inbounding her and just looked bothered like she
had to deal with this situation again. That's what we're
talking about when we talk about teammates coming to our aid.
But we love to hear from you again. Hit them up,

You can play along as well if you listen again.
That comes up in twenty minutes. But it is the
middle of the week, and it's the middle of the show,
and it's time four. He's not getting It's time for.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
The Midway.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
The creation of one Jason Stewart's who provides the topics
and the content that we get to chat about here
in the Midway Midway. It's some input from others as well. Jason,
what is the topic today?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
This actually came from Dan Byer, but I will present it.
Uh CJ. Stroud was on a podcast called Million Dollars
Worth of a Game. I botched that and He said
this about which.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Career he was Dollar Man or Aaron Rocket was dumb? Sorry?
Was it dollars with a Z? Yeah, dollars with a
Z yep, yep, dollars with the game yep? And he
said this, if you.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
Had to pick a career to have, I'm gonna have
Aaron Rodgers career or I'm gonna have Eli Manning's career.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Who career are you taking?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
You want the rings?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
No you don't. That's all that man is the rings
that you got too.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Eli Manning over Aaron Rodgers? Is c J. Stroud's pick
number one. I love hearing quarterbacks who are playing in
the game talk about this. I don't know if this
is a generational thing. I don't even know what generated.
What would he be? What would c J. Stroud be
if he's two? What generation is that zoomer? Is a
(03:02):
zoomer zoomer? Yeah, it's still ze Okay, okay, so generation Z,
but that's what a zoomer is. Yeah, okay for fat
always going next level, but generation Z.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Right, Chris knows a lot about I thought we were
gen Z and NHL retation.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
That's an inside joke, but I trol room joke. I
love I love that c J. Stroud because it feels
like it's a gen Z thing to do just weigh
in on anything, especially considering one of the players is
still active in the NFL. In Aaron Rodgers, I, I
just don't know if I agree with him and choosing
(03:42):
Eli Manning's career over Aaron rodgers career. I think I'd
go with Aaron.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
Rodgers I if I can weigh in on this, Like,
I don't think this is even like a generational thing.
I think this is just a reaction to how we
in the media have treated these guys for so long.
They've seen rings, rings, rings, rings, ring. If you don't
have a ring, you're not good enough. Like it's almost
a reaction to our own status of the media, and
(04:08):
like they've kind of internalized those values. So yeah, he'd
rather he understands that he'll be treated better after his
his career if he has a more Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I'm not talking about his decision. I'm talking about his
choice to just even speak on the matter. I don't
see other quarterbacks talking about other quarterbacks, especially when one
is active in the game, like CJ. Stroud did in
this podcast. He had more to say about it. But
to the point of the generation thing, it feels like
(04:38):
the TikTok generation. This gen z, these zoomers have a
lot to say and have no fear in saying it.
And I just don't think that we've seen that from
players before. Usually it's company line or giving somebody credit.
Here he actually ranks Aaron Rodgers in a way and
talking about his career, which I don't think we've ever
seen before or heard before. That's strange.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
We're starting to see it, and you know, I'm sure
you can. You're gonna find a way Dan to blame
Lebron for this too, But it's a new style of media,
if I have my choice. Here's a tough part. Aaron
Rodgers is still playing. But as a as a former
pro ball player, you do want that ring. The ring
(05:23):
says a lot. Not only did he get it, he
beat Tom Brady. I don't think it's a question of
the money, but you know, when you never won it, man,
that is a big thing. But the tough part is
Aaron Rodgers still has a shot, He's still playing football.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Has that opportunity, Manci millennials, do you want in on
this conversation?
Speaker 8 (05:46):
Midway it's a good it's a it's a good question.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
It's a hard one because, yes, I think Aaron Rodgers
is the better quarterback.
Speaker 8 (05:54):
I think Aaron Rodgers probably has lived the better funner
life than Eli. Like me, seems like a more simpler man.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
But to be able to say good commercials, though.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Yeah, But to be able to say that you beat
Tom Brady, it's it's it's hard, yeah, to be able
to say that that's the that's the one, even though
I think that Aaron Rodgers is the better player, and
I think maybe you know again, has had the more
fun career in a way.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
You see the Brady roast Brady exactly.
Speaker 8 (06:25):
To be able to.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Say I beat Tom Brady, I wouldn't. I wouldn't fight anyone.
Anyone wants to fight with me.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
I would just respond, I beat Tom Brady and I
walk away.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Here's and and there. There there's a lot of weight
with that. Like there there is like those two Super
Bowls in beating the Patriots and knocking them from their
unbeaten season. Yeah, like adds even more weight to the conversation.
But I think the conversation is different if you're talking
about Eli Manning in Tony Romo and saying, all right,
(06:53):
we felt like Romo maybe had a better playing career,
but Eli's got the two rings. Rogers has a significant
get le better playing career. Every statistical category sides with
Aaron Rodgers. I just went the Pro Football Reference and
I'm looking at the comparison. The only the only areas
(07:13):
where Eli Manning actually has an edge on Aaron Rodgers,
or that he's played five more games than Rogers has,
has the two Super Bowls compared to one, and has
two Super Bowl MVPs to Rogers one.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
I think what CJ is saying, because he's put he's
put up numbers. We've seen it, and he's going to
probably break every you know Texans you know record there.
He's an absolute baller. He's the guy that you go
mahomes and then you're like, hey, man, CJ. Stroud's in
the conversation, He's in the atmosphere, and I think what
(07:46):
he's saying, and I like it in a sense, and
Manti gets it like like I don't care about the
numbers I put up. I want to win like Eli
Manning won. Now the scrutiny is that, you know, you
feel like he was just the right place, right time
for Eli Manning. It's some bragging rights, but Eli didn't
have this great body of work to go, wow, he's amazing.
(08:09):
And then Eli's demeanor and we can go, you know,
down the line with that. But I do like it
from CJ because he's kind of like, nah, like I
want to win. If I gave my city to City
of Houston a super Bowl, I'm good. That's all that matters.
I don't care about my numbers. We can have fun.
I've proven I can be fun. I've proven I can
play at a high level.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Of the One of the things about Eli Manning too
is once he gets into the playoff, there is a
playoff Eli, like there was playoff Eli Manning. Whereas Aaron Rodgers,
for as wonderful of a career he is, is as
much as we compared him to Tom Brady, has a
lot of playoff losses there. And I think if you're CJ. Stroud, Neil,
it's exactly what you're saying, like you want to win
(08:49):
in the playoffs. You want to win the games that matter.
And Eli turned it on at just the right time
every time he was in the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The one thing that I do think Eli has for
him as well? In the great points to the Patriots
and you talk about playoff Eli, I understand all of that.
I still am siding with Rogers in this conversation, but
I honest, and I've said this before, I don't think
Odell Beckham Junior becomes Odell Beckham Junior without Eli Manning
(09:17):
because Eli Manning didn't care where he was throwing the football.
There are quarterbacks in the NFL.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
Would compliment Dan.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
What did Odell? What did Odell Beckham Junior make his
name on?
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Extending?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yes, the acrobatic catches, the one handed catches. There are
quarterbacks that would not throw the football to where Eli
Manning did. They just wouldn't because they wouldn't have trust
in their receiver. It's why Eli led the league in
interceptions three years in a row. He would just did.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
He didn't see what Dan's doing, but he led the interceptions.
Didn't care where he's throwing the football. I see you,
Danny boy, and it's true. It's true.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Aaron Rodgers Aeron rob cares about interceptions. He does, and
that's why he doesn't have a lot of them. He'd
rather take a sack than throw an interception, which is
I mean, it is the better alternative, but his ratings,
you look at his interception numbers, he is not throwing interceptions.
Eli did not care, and I think in that conversation
(10:21):
he allowed guys like Odell Beckham Junior to make the
plays that he did. Now OBJ had to make those plays,
But if he was with a different quarterback, I don't
know if Obj is making the plays that he did
in New York like he did with Eli Mann. So
there would be a point for the manning aspect of
it where I don't know if Rogers is putting things
(10:42):
in harm's way when you get threat a kneel and.
Speaker 6 (10:46):
Elire Peyton Eli or Peyton.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Peyton, Yeah, they both have two rings. So like if
that conversation and Peyton was a much field general in
terms of I mean, he was the coach on the field,
so I would have to go with Peyton. I think
it's more of a debate and I would take I
would take Peyton over Rogers, And that may be the
older me, like in deciding that even though Peyton's last
(11:13):
Super Bowl didn't he couldn't throw the ball ten yards,
he couldn't turn his neck. Dude, like John Alway carried
to that mountain top.
Speaker 6 (11:21):
You could read where he was going with the football.
I mean they did.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
It's just same caught to the.
Speaker 7 (11:27):
Honestly, I think everyone was like cool with that because
think of all those heartbreaks he had in Denver where
it's like, oh goodness, like you're doing everything right and
you're just let down by this one guy here.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
There's there's also the fault with Rogers though, and why
I would side with him, and I support my side
and I want to hear Jason's. We haven't even gotten
Jason's opinion on this. But the Rogers point of it
also for me is there was a time when people
felt he was the best quarterback in the NFL, and
this is when Tom Brady was still playing the game,
(12:00):
and so like that carries a lot of weight. We
never thought that with Eli Jason Stewart, I'm sorry you
started this. We never got your actual opinion on that. No, no,
trust me. The listeners, the listeners in somebody Dave is
like where is Jay Stu on it?
Speaker 4 (12:13):
We kept getting tweets when is Jason? So I'm not
familiar with this podcast. This is my tick on this.
I'm not familiar with million dollars worth of game podcasts.
It looks like it's popular. They have great artists on there.
I'm not convinced by hearing that bite that either the
hosts or c. J. Stroud knows that Aaron Rodgers has
(12:34):
won a Super Bowl? Was that given away at all?
In that bite? It almost sounds like they chose Rogers
as a guy who doesn't have a ring, and they
wanted to make that juxtaposition very accomplished with all the
stats verse two super Bowls. I'm still not convinced. Maybe
I'll go back and listen to the podcast, but either way,
I'm with Aaron Rodgers on this. I think a more
(12:57):
fair comparison, if you're going to do this would be
what is it Eli versus Dan Marino or Eli or
even verse like Matt Ryan was always the Marina Fontana thing.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Yeah, yeah, I I yeah, I said Tony Romo earlier,
which but I see what you guys are saying in
terms of.
Speaker 6 (13:15):
That's a great call, Jason, That's why we needed you.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What about what about the guys that we was traded for?
You know, when he wouldn't go to the Chargers, Philip Rivers,
you know, and that sort of thing like River stats,
you know, are better than Eli's stats. But again it's
not getting to that point. I think in that in
that scenario, I think I'd rather be Eli is.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
The delineating factor then just two rings, because there's I mean,
we could throw Drew Brees in here. He's only got
one ring.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
But it's like one ring is a really big deal.
It is it is? It like it it changes the conversation,
Like the zero to one is miles apart from one
to two. I think because getting through and breaking through
is so difficult. Ask Steve Young the video of him
(14:04):
in Super Bowl twenty nine. It's crazy, the thing, it's
not almost thirty years ago, but of him having Gary
Plummer take this imaginary monkey off of his back. And
that's Young admitting to it in the game that he
felt the pressure of not winning a Super Bowl, especially
with that organization Peyton. Just winning one, getting through and
breaking through and finally beating the Bears in Super Bowl
(14:26):
forty one was a big deal. So just getting the
one is enough for me.
Speaker 7 (14:30):
Yeah, John Elway for a long time time.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Yeah, yeah, Then he doubled up and went back to back.
The funny thing about that podcast, He say, Jason, is
if they did not realize Rogers won a Super Bowl.
His super Bowl was sandwiched between Eli's two, So it
wasn't like Rogers came first and then elike like that.
They maybe weren't fans at that time. Heck, Eli second
came right after Rogers first, because Eli then beat Rogers
(14:55):
in the playoffs the next year when Green Bay only
had a one lost regular season. So uh, alright, Manzi,
do you have something or do you gotta go? No?
Speaker 8 (15:03):
I don't have anything?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
All right, No, Midway, she's gotta get ready for the
newly weed game. I do all right, that's the Midway.
Good job, Midwa. Chop through. He's Ryan Hollins. I'm Dan Byer.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
How Angel Reese doesn't have a sponsorship with Reese's Pieces
right or peanut butter cups. If there's anything you want
to complain about shouldn't that be it? I mean, it's right,
it's right there for you. Right.
Speaker 8 (15:45):
I would love a sponsor like's.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
I do love Reese's pieces. They are they are readily
available in spots. The peanut butter cups are everywhere. But Ryan,
I know that you after we talked about donuts last week,
you went the next day and gotten donuts. But when
you go to the store the next time, try to
find Reese's pieces so good, and it is actually more
difficult than you would think. Peanut butter cups are everywhere.
(16:10):
You want to have a problem with that, but they
actually find the Reese's pieces that are the basically peanut
butter em and M's and.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
You know an et when et yes, right, And so
it was actually the movie wanted Eminem's, but Mars Candy
owns Eminems and they didn't want to be associated with.
Speaker 8 (16:24):
An alien movie.
Speaker 5 (16:26):
Wow, So they turned it down, and then they went
to Reese's pieces.
Speaker 8 (16:29):
Their loss, their loss on Hondle.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
I would have expected that story from Perfet to be
honest with you like that.
Speaker 7 (16:37):
That is, you can tell the George Foreman Hogan Foreman
Grill story.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
We are at time. We are out of time. Here
on the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio, it
is time to play the newlywed game NBA version. Welcome in.
I am your host, Dan Byer, Today's lucky couple, the
one and only ten year NBA VET Ryan Hollins paired
(17:02):
with the one and only Fox Sports Radio VET Moncey Belangyo. Hey, guys,
welcome in.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
Hello, thank you. We're so excited.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
So Ryan Monzi has already recorded her answers to the
questions that I am about to provide to you. There
are nine of them, and once you answer, we will
then hear Manzi's answer, which again which were previously recorded
to find out how compatible you guys are when it
comes to the NBA. Are you ready to play?
Speaker 6 (17:28):
Let's go. We're ready, all right.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Ryan Hollins, What team was the biggest disappointment during these
NBA playoffs?
Speaker 6 (17:37):
Okay, biggest disappointment during the inn be A playoffs. So
it's tough for me. I don't want to say a
lot of the Eastern teams because of injury.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Sure Bucks were ousted. He didn't have Jimmy Butler. Well,
Milwaukee didn't have Giannis.
Speaker 6 (17:56):
I will say the Golden State Warriors. Oh, they made
this big old push, remember, and it was like they
knocked my rockets out of contention, and they're like, this
is a to you that could win it all, you know,
Steph Curry, Clay Thompson all. And then they laid an
egg for nothing.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
Yeah, they were only in the playing tournament. Let's see
who Manzi thought you would say was the most disappointing
team in the NBA playoffs.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Ryan thinks that the biggest disappointment were the raigning champs,
the Denver Nuggets, losing Game seven at home to the Timberwhips.
Speaker 8 (18:30):
That's what Ryan thinks. Ryan, you better not say the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
I thought the Clippers were a viable candidates, to be honest,
with injuries.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Injuries, Yeah, yeah, Nuggets?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Were you disappointed in the Nuggets only make it to
the conference semis. By the way, we're all for one.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
They're out of gas. They're out of gas as a
bad matchup. I thought they were kind of walking wounded already.
So but listen, you're up twenty in a game seven
at the crib. Yeah, I'm all in with that. I'm
not mad at that answer.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
All right, there are only two teams still alive in
the NBA playoffs, and that's our NBA Finals matchup between
the Mavericks and Celtics. Ryan Hollins, what eliminated playoff team
is primed to make a run next season?
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Ooh, what eliminated playoff team is prized to make a
run next season? I'm actually gonna go with the team
we just mentioned, the Dinver Nuggets.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
I think that they realize Bruce Brown Jeff Green were
big pieces missing off their bench. They needed that. They
couldn't rest Joker, they didn't get the energy points, they
didn't get the hustle points that they had with those
two missing off the bench. I think they saw that position,
and I think they're gonna be right back in the mix.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
All right, who did Manci think that Ryan would say
would make a run for next season?
Speaker 5 (19:56):
I mean, obviously Ryan thinks it's the Oklahoma City under
Not only do they have shake Gilgis Alexander, but they
have a fellow seven footer.
Speaker 8 (20:04):
So okay, see that's who Ryan thinks.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We are down, ho too, we are down too. Maybe
a change of scenery will help us here on the
newlywed game, Ryan Hollins, what team will make the playoffs
next year after missing out this year.
Speaker 6 (20:21):
The Eastern Rockets.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Wow, that was kidding me.
Speaker 6 (20:24):
With all that young talent, Frid van Fleet, Dylan Brooks,
em Udoka, the Rockets had the most wins. If I
got mistaken in NBA history to not make the playoffs somewhere, playoffs,
play in whatever it was. So yeah, yeah, Rockets, it's
a no brainer.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Come on, man, all right, let's find out what Monsey
thought you'd say.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Oh, this is easy. Ryan totally is gonna pick the
Houston Rockets.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Alight, there you gore you go just for you did?
Speaker 2 (20:54):
That was pretty easy.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I wonder though, if somebody was going to say the Spurs.
I did not wonder if somebody who's gonna say the Pistons. Sorry,
Chris Burfett. I just knew that that was not going
to happen at all in this game. All right, we
are one for three right now in our newlywed game. Again.
If you're just joining us, it is the Doug Gottlieb Show.
I'm Dan Byer, He's Ryan Hollins. The NBA vet right
(21:18):
next to me is Monte Milanios, who's already recorded her answers.
And what she thinks Ryan Hollins is going to say
during this NBA version of the Newlywed Game, question number four,
who will be the best NBA player in the state
of Texas next season? The best NBA player in the
state of Texas.
Speaker 6 (21:39):
I think the best NBA player will be Luka Dancic.
I think Wimby is clearly going to be there for
the future. Next season may still be a little too soon.
He's gonna have to put some size on. But Luca
may not just be the best player in Texas, he
may be the best player in the Royal.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Now that's that's a big, big statement. I did wonder
about the emergence of Victor wembin Yama, and I also
wondered on the homerism of Ryan Hollins. Would he go
with a Houston Rocket? Let's find out who MONSI thought
Ryan Hollins would say.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Well, Ryan probably wants to pick a Rocket, but he
knows the best player in Texas is going to be
Luca Donche.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
All right, oakya this two in row.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Look out. We are two and two, two for four
so far.
Speaker 6 (22:34):
You hear that, Danny boy, you hear that, dere You guys.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Are a bit more compatible this time around.
Speaker 5 (22:39):
You know a year later, it only took a year.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm not saying it's a match. I'm just saying, all right.
Question number five, there's a long way to go. What
team will claim the first road win of the NBA Finals?
So this is a fifty to fifty shot. Unless you
wanted to say that no team would get a road win,
it's probably not even fifty to fifty at the first
two games are in Boston. Ryan Hollins, what team claims
(23:05):
the first road win of the NBA Finals.
Speaker 6 (23:06):
Celticser Mavericks, Dallas Mavericks. The Maazi's not even gonna hesitate
on that one.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
All right, Well, let's find out if she hesitated or not.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Ryan thinks that the MAVs is the first road.
Speaker 8 (23:21):
The Celtics jon't defend home cour.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
There if you like her own added note there.
Speaker 6 (23:27):
I do. I do. I like that she knows the stuff,
she's locked in, she's focused.
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Focus, We're gonna get this now.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
We're hitting the stretch. Run four questions left, and you
guys are above five hundred right now, nervous.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
This is a multiple choice question Ryan Hollins. What celebrity
Celtics fan will be the first to be shown on
camera on TV at Game one tomorrow night? Will it
be Mark Wahlberg, will be, Donnie Wahlberg, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon,
David Ortiz, Tom Brady, Dana White or Dave Portnoy. What
(24:06):
celebrity Celtics fan will be the first to be shown
on camera in tomorrow nights Game one?
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Thomas Edward Brady.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Oh, we don't even know if he's going to the game.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
We don't know.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
We're not sure. Also, sometimes what they do is they
build up and they leave the big star for the end.
Who did Mancy think?
Speaker 5 (24:26):
Well, obviously Ryan is gonna pick both Mark Wahlberg and
Tommy Wahlberg.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The Wallbergers, although it doesn't Mark Wahlberg go to bed
at like six am because he gets up at like
three am. Yeah, so it'll be maybe too late for him.
Have you guys ever been to the Wallburger's Hamburger Place? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (24:46):
I have.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Oh, Chris, what's the what's the vacation? Yeah, there was one.
Speaker 7 (24:50):
There was one at the village at usc when I
was going there.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Uh, okay, Yeah, it's okay. I I had it once.
It was when I was getting my Nobel Prize. I
remember that I stopped for lunch before. No, I'm just
saying fet Like all he had to say was yeah,
I had it. But he's like when I was at
USC you know, getting my masters. To think of it,
(25:15):
you are kind of kind of when I was receiving
that award for my you know, humanitarian aid that I provided,
I stopped at a Wallburger's on the way, come to.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
Think of it, when I was studying abroad at Johannesburg,
they just they had just built a.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So I remember eating it when they were tearing down
the wall in Germany, like when I was there supporting. Yeah,
it was. It was very It was this really mix
of different emotions, but it was great. All right. Three
more questions to go. How many titles NBA titles does
Luka Dancic win in his career? Ryan Hollins, I think
(25:55):
Luka Doncic.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
Wins three titles, three of them.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
All right, Manzi Belanyas she's got her fingers crossed, but
she knows the answer. What did Maazi say?
Speaker 5 (26:07):
No, Well, Ryan knows Luca is amazing. But there's a
lot of amazing out there. So Ryan thinks Doncic is
going to win. Three.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Not really, it was probably zero, one, two, three, four,
maybe five. But to nail that one.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
That one, not dude. Three.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Alright you guys again, you're above five hundred four correct?
Speaker 6 (26:37):
Three?
Speaker 2 (26:38):
You didn't match This is key? This one solidify a
five hundred matchup.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
I'm nervous.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Who will win the NBA Finals? Ryan Hollins, Celtics are Mavericks,
the Mavericks without any doubt. Who did Manzy think Ryan
thinks will win the NBA Finals?
Speaker 5 (26:59):
Ryan the thanks that the Celtics the NBA Finals, even
though he's wrong.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Score one for Boston oh Man.
Speaker 5 (27:09):
And I, you know, I think the MAVs are gonna win,
But I really thought Ryan thought the Celtics would win.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Here's here's the kicker. This last question likely is tied
to this answer is who will be the NBA Finals MVP?
Ryan Hollins, Your answer.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Jason Tatum for the sake of the game, right.
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Oh boy? All right? Who does Manty think Ryan thinks
is gonna be the NBA Finals MVP?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
So, because Ryan thinks the Celtics are gonna win, he
thinks Jason Tatum is gonna deliver the NBA Finals MVP.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
What the teammates take the game? Takes one for the team.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
Take the game.
Speaker 5 (27:55):
Take of the game for five out of nine, could
have five and four.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
You would have gotten a nice eight seed. If this
was an NBA playoff, Good job, thank you.
Speaker 8 (28:07):
Do we win like a like what a living room set?
Speaker 6 (28:10):
You would have a new world wash on dryer, vacation,
vacation of Boston to Boston. Not only that, right in
the middle of the winter.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
You'll also get a chance to go to Dallas, Ryan
Hollinds his favorite place to make a chin. And don't
unpack your bags yet. You're on your way to Edmonton,
beautiful Alberta, Canada. And then you can end up in
the ever Gallades in Sunrise, Florida.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
Good okaod man.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
This is this is honestly the coach sat Hollands go
in foul him put him on the free throw line. Yeah,
and he did. He took one for the team. He did.
Good work, Ryan Holland.
Speaker 6 (28:49):
I think I got the hack of shack one time.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Did you think to follow him?
Speaker 6 (28:54):
They probably got two hackishacks on the sub day and
got two hackishacks.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Oh man, that was great, good work.
Speaker 8 (29:02):
We did it, Ryan, we did it.
Speaker 2 (29:03):
It's kind of our second annual. Last year we did
it previewing the playoffs and how it was going to happen.
Now we team up at the end of it. But uh,
that is that is great, all right.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
It's The Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. I'm
Dan Byer, He's Ryan Hollins. The NBA Vet Monte Blanos
will have the press coming up for us in just
a little bit. Find Rolin, find Ryan Hollins on x
at the Ryan Hollins you can find me at Dan
Byer on Fox. Before we get to the headlines of
the day. You know, it's a big week in game
(29:41):
shows because Pat Sajak will be hosting his final episode
of Wheel of Fortune coming up on Friday. But it
was also a big night in game shows, Ryan Hollins,
do you watch Jeopardy? You ever watched Jeopardy?
Speaker 6 (29:54):
I have not recently, but I have.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
I've watched Jeopardy throughout the years, on and off. I'm
in my off phase and not watching it but one
Jason Stewart, our producer of the show, you've been on
since COVID, do you like you never miss an episode? Correct?
Speaker 4 (30:09):
No, that's correct. And every single night me and Christina
sit down and watch it. She gets like seventy percent
of the answers and I get about ten percent. That's
the ratio seven to one she gets to me, so
it dominates me.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
You will always make the final jeopardy and you are
kind of a coin toss, right, Yes, if you'll get
there and wager the amount of money. But last night,
I would assume you were more than ten percent. Or
the other night when this certain question came up and
it had to do it was a sports category, and
we're going to play the audio, but I just want you,
(30:46):
if you're listening to the show, because we don't have
the medium of a visual, imagine a picture of Russell
Westbrook in an Oklahoma City Thunder uniform. This is the
picture they pop up with the answer that they needed
this question to go ahead.
Speaker 9 (31:04):
Here's the last clue in twenty first century sports, with
Oklahoma City, this master of the triple double became the
first back to back MVP of the NBA All Star
game since the nineteen fifties, Adriana.
Speaker 8 (31:16):
Who is Durant?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
Sorry? Now ah?
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Who is his teammate?
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Russell Westbrook? Now no, by the way, if you don't
know sports, pretty dark good guests to be in that ballpark,
right to just say Durant and who it was?
Speaker 4 (31:29):
So on the same team?
Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely, So I'm not laughing at her
answer at all. What I'm laughing at is their relationship
that we know as sports fans, like, could you Kevin
Durant the last person that he would probably want to
be thought of is Russell Westbrook? And here it ends
up coming up on Jeopardy. But it lends a bigger
point to what Jason Stewart is pointing out in why
(31:51):
this maybe shouldn't be the story that it is outside
of the Westbrook Durant dynamic, and that is just the
knowledge of sports, or maybe lack of knowledge of sports
of the contestants that are usually on Jeopardy.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
It seems like every time that there's a sports category
on Jeopardy, we know about it because if you deal
in the content of sports, you're going through sports blogs
and awful announcing. Here is probably the biggest person that
does this, but you'll get barstool just making fun of
the nerds on Jeopardy for not knowing sports. You know,
it's such a jock thing. But I know for a
(32:25):
fact that the person on the sports blog that's making
fun of this Jeopardy contestant knows nothing about seventeenth century
art or any of the specific categories that they would
get zero.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
On with a chemistry I'm like, all right, I'm out.
You know, Like there's Shakespeare. I'm like, go to the
other one, go to potent potables. But yeah, and I've
always wondered, because the sports questions are so easy for us,
are the chemistry questions? Are the Shakespeare questions just as
easy for them? That are? I think so too?
Speaker 7 (32:56):
But I do have to wonder, because you've got enough
of these clips by now, shouldn't they start like practicing
up on the sports trivia It's come up? And yeah,
it feels like it feels like it comes up like
every two or three times every year that there are
is a sports category on Jeppardes, and it seems like
every time they're just clueless.
Speaker 6 (33:14):
It's so broad though, like I can understand them not knowing,
Like I don't think you can be mad at them
not knowing because it's it's so broad like that is
that's a that's a tough one right there, Like I
could imagine because if you didn't see, we know sports
were like, oh, that's easy. But if you didn't know,
you wouldn't have the slightest clue. There's too much information
(33:36):
going on.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
And by the way, that was like the two thousand
dollars question, that was like the most difficult one. That
wasn't the easy two hundred dollars one that you would get.
That would be the difficult one. All right, She's the
answer to all of our questions. She's Monte Bilano's and
she's got the press.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
The press.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
At least five times out of nine. Yeahn Hollins.
Speaker 5 (33:59):
No, not not with Jeopardy though. My brain does not
get that. Like I knew the answer, but I was,
like my favorite is.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
On other quiz shows, people say what is yeah, like
like when that's like, no, it's only with Jeopardy, But
people are now like it's become such a fabric in
your mind that you feel that anytime you're on the show,
you got to answer what is Yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:22):
No, I'm not my brain does not work all right,
fellas so.
Speaker 8 (34:26):
James Harden, in a recent interview with.
Speaker 5 (34:29):
Basket News, was asked about his legacy check it out.
Speaker 10 (34:34):
How do you hope the players and these fans outside,
how do you want them to remember you after you finish?
What do you want to then think about James Harden's name.
Speaker 11 (34:45):
That I was a winner, that I was a teacher,
you know what I mean, That I had a different
love for the game. You know what I mean, like
put the money aside. I really enjoy and love the
game of basketball and playing it. So whether it's you know,
being with the kids you know here, or you know,
when I travel, you know, other places in the year,
when I go to China, I just want, you know,
people to understand and understand how much I really love
(35:08):
and enjoy the game of basketball.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
He's a good answer. I don't know about the winner
part of it though, that's like the he's not a loser.
I know, I know it came off much more harsh
than maybe it was, but you have what one NBA
Finals appearance, you.
Speaker 6 (35:25):
Know that he wants to be known as a winner
though that he wants to not that he is to
the point where he's satisfied.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It's still not over yet, still time to change that narrative.
But I just don't think that we would look at
him as a winner. We're not looking at him as
a loser. But when we talk about winners, we're talking
championships and that has not come James Harden's way so
far in his career.
Speaker 8 (35:52):
No, not at all. I think I got a quick
one here for you, guys.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
So, Dak Prescott playing on the final year of his contract,
no extension that we know of.
Speaker 8 (35:59):
He spoke to the media today and this is what
he said.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
This is theurgest You should always have to be honest.
Speaker 10 (36:05):
So so maybe guys who normally wouldn't fill it fill it.
Speaker 6 (36:09):
So so I don't mind it.
Speaker 10 (36:10):
I've been in this position before from a gambling man,
will gamble on myself and my guys. So not actually, guys.
Speaker 6 (36:16):
I understand it that.
Speaker 8 (36:22):
You gotta stop that. I'm not doing that, guys.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
I'm not gambling, no gambling. But Dak is one hundred
percent correct. And you know how come we know this
is because of what he just said. Dek broke his leg.
We saw it on TV. There was a camera right
in front of our faces. Broke his leg, in the
Dallas Cowboys are like, sure, we'll still pay you. So
if Dallas doesn't want Dak in their future, there will
be another NFL team that is more than willing to
(36:45):
pay Dak Prescott as much money as he wants. So
he may look at it as pressure. Maybe he wants
to stay in Dallas, but in terms of him getting paid,
if it's not the Cowboys, it's going to be somebody else.
Are you a Dek fan, Ryan Hollins.
Speaker 6 (37:01):
I'm realistic about Dak and I don't think Dallas is
the place for him. It's just a tough place to play.
I think they should get into the draft and see
if they can kind of start over. But I think
Dak say, he's a solid quarterback, he's a great leader man,
and I think the expectation has just been too high.
And when they when they paid them, it's like, hey,
(37:22):
we need you to kind of step it up a notch.
And I think Dak is just good at being him.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
You said you said it the other day. There's no
tougher position in the NFL than being the quarterback of
the Dallas Cowboys. Dak's got that pressure, thanks MONCEI, and
that is the press that get out there and pressed.
That was the press. Holland's it's been fun for Ryan Hollands.
I'm Dan Byer. Doug's back tomorrow here on The Doug
Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio
