Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, this is the Doug Godly Show years in
the bonus with Doug gottl.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Gott even showing the bone's Fox Sports Radio. I heart
ready to app Welcome in, Welcome, Welcome in. So here's
the thing. I think I know what it's what it
means to be mature, and I'm like one of the
(00:32):
least mature mature people, right because I actually think that
some part of maturity sucks, and I don't think we
should always celebrate the like it's okay to still be
a kid and have a kid's heart and a kid's spirit,
like I still believe I have that. I'm still wide
eyed at new experiences that I haven't experienced previously. I
don't know how you guys are, but I do think
(00:53):
that there's something to this as a as a as
a sign of maturity. Sam, did you like school? I'm sorry, Profet.
Did you like school?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Uh? I think that was largely dependent upon the classes.
There were definitely classes I enjoyed a lot more than others, History, English,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But like high school? Did you like it? Did you
like the actual school aspect to it? I?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So I went to a Jesuit high school and yes,
I did. I mean I picked the school because I
liked it and I enjoyed going there. I had friends,
And I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
No, no, that's not what I said. I meant the
actual scholastic exercise of learning stuff like I and and
I get that I was.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I was.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I was a nerd. I read books, I took a
B classes, I took an advanced placement in a college class.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I was.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I liked those things. I just I can't tell you
that I actually enjoyed doing them. And Stu Ja, Stu,
where are you on the level of enjoyment in taking
the classes and learning while you're in school?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I'm talking about very rare way. Did I enjoy school?
And this goes through college too, And in recent years,
just in recent years, I've like I've become like a
Civil War buff Yeah, and I wish I would have
in those moments back in the day, I paid attention better,
you know, And.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I think I think that was what I was getting. So, Chris,
I'm not not trying to put words in your mouth,
but I do think and so I don't know, maybe
you're different, but I do think most people don't really
enjoy the scholastic experience to especially high school and middle school.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No, I would agree with that. I'm absolutely in the
minority in that regard. Yeah, I picked up on a
lot of these interests faster than other people.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So, but what happens is when you become some sort
of mature persons, Like it's like Jason's way, you actually
like learning, Like I actually love learning stuff I've loved.
My kids don't do it enough for my taste. But
when they've asked me about you know, I mean, heck,
I would help them write English papers just because I
enjoy doing it. I'm talking about my own children, Like, no,
(02:56):
you know, And when they send me something that's really good,
like one of my daughter's Grace she sent me her
college essay. It was really really good, and I was like, damn,
I like that. I was like, but I would you
need to change this?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So my point is that when you get to be
maybe it's get to be middle aged. I don't know, Jay,
maybe that's what it is, but we start to actually
like learning. They're like, man, I have the same feeling.
Why did I pay attention to school? Because some of
the stuff is really interesting, really interesting, And then some
of the stuff I paid attention to in school, you know,
(03:31):
you kind of like prophet, Like I did like learning then,
but I love learning now. Anyway, I say that because
I love this expression. I was today years old when
I learned that, you know, and I was today years
old that I learned that break dancing is in the Olympics.
(03:51):
And here's my issue with the Olympics and break dancing
and other things. It's like, okay, wait, wait, so the
gold medal is supposed to be the most prestigious championship
prize on Earth. Right, It's supposed to say that you
are the best in the entire world at this one thing. Right,
isn't that what the gold medal is? Jase Dou? Is that? Okay, yep,
(04:14):
you are the best at the entire world at this
one thing. And yet, how do we equate breakdancing to
the one hundred meter dash? The gold medals are the same,
only the sport is different. I mean, think about that
for a second. If you have the one hundred meter dash,
whoever wins that is the fastest person on Earth and
(04:36):
there is no subjectivity to it. Yet whoever the best
breakdancer is on Earth had to have qualified for it whatever,
And then it scored, and it's just so weird. The
fact that those are both equal. Is it creates inequality
or maybe not inequality, it creates a it's really hard
(04:56):
for you to tell me how important this stuff is,
how important a gold medal is, and me to say,
you know, everybody needs to go and feel like Kawhi
Leonard Man, are you letting your country down because your
body's letting you down? And then the other hand, we're like, yeah,
but they also give out trophies for best breakdancwer.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
This is like a this is a description out of
nineteen eighty four, Like we all love nineteen eighty four,
Remember Karl Lewis, Yeah, the Russians sat out the Olympics,
you know, I remember vividly. But this sounds like a
description out of nineteen eighty four, the description of breaking
the new event at the Olympics. This year, athletes will
(05:33):
use a combination of power moves, including wind meals, a
six step that freezes as they adapt their style and
improvise to the beat of the DJ's tracks in a
bid to secure the judges votes and take home the
Olympic gold Like is there a more subjective I understand
that like I think figure skating and all these are
(05:54):
kind of subjective and how the judges see it. But like,
this seems to be the most subjective sport in the
history of sports, and I want to know who's who
the judges are? Is it the cast of UH break
into Electric Googleloo.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Well, this is something that's been bigger over in Europe
than it is here, is it. Let's say, yeah, no,
this is like because this is in France. It's part
of like the UH. I forget the exact term they
use in the Olympics, but they do this like they
had skateboarding in Japan. They've had actually I think Tayekwon
Dos stuck around for quite a bit. They'll have flag
football here in the United States in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Like they also kind of fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, but they add in these like smaller.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Like like, no, listen, three on three basketball and I
love fran for Schillin and he's helping coaching it whatever,
But that's three hundred basketball. Why don't we do one
on one as well?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, it's just it's it's what they do to try
to keep themselves relevant sometimes and unfortunately it comes to
the expense of like you know, you'll get the IOC
talking about like, oh, yeah, we should just kill wrestling,
and it's like why, why would you kill a one hundred
year sport for this? But yeah, this seems like a
very French euro Continental focus thing.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. I mean, just imagine me an
Olympic village, like, would you win? Well, I win the
hundred meter dash, I'm the fastest person on earth. Would
you win? I'm the best break dancer in the Olympics.
Got it?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, the Olympics are a lot. I just I've never
been a big Olympic guy since eighty four. Eighty four
was awesome. Here's how pointing eighty four was per fet right.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
My father has been doing a ton of Olympics in
his life. He went to Munich, He's been all over
to a lot of these.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Carl Lewis, Mary Lee and Mary lou Retten, Michael Jordan, Edwin, Moses, Florence, Griffith, Joiner, Flow.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Joe, Iconic Americans from Oh my.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Gosh, I mean, did we and look, yes, we didn't
have the Eastern Bloc countries weren't there, but we kicked
some ass and we made huge names of so many
of these people, so many people.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I went to the do you know the the torch
went through went through our town and Brea. We all
went down to the community center and we uh picnicked
and we watched some local hack politician run the torch
through Brea.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
So I've been to two in my life. I've been
to Atlanta and I've been to Sydney. In Sydney, yeah,
I went to my again. My father had like connections
with the US Track and Field news reporting, so I've
we we went to as a family to Sydney. We
saw a lot of I saw it was mostly swimming,
and then I was really I was doing karate in
high school, so I went to see the judo events
(08:37):
and I think that was the year they also type one.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Mean what swimming? Can you see them swimming underwater?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No, you can see them swimming in the pool.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But what about when they do the underwater stuff like
you can't see like the way you can see on TV.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, I mean, but you see them. You can you
see them breaking the water from up in the stands.
There's got to be an underwater monitor nowadays, right, But no,
I mean freestyle freestyle butterfly. That's not all underwater. You're
you're swimming against the surface. Oh I thought you were
talking about that synchronized crop. Oh no, not that.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I did see water polo down there, and that is
a that is a hell of a sport.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's hell of a sport.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Be short to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Let's get to the Fox says and now what does
say every day at this time of The Doug Gottlieb
Show Podcast. In the bonus, we bring to you a
portion of a previous show on Fox Sports Radio Fox
Sports One. This is Jonas Knox and Brady Quinn talking
about Mike Gundi's controversial DUI comments yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I just think he was being a little too honest
when he probably should have given a PC answer and.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Nobody would have thought two things.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
That's a that'll though, that's nice.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
I think this is this is twofold, all right. So
let me first say this, this is by design that
he brings Ali Gordon to the Big twelve media days
for starters. The guy won the doak Walker. Last year
he led the Nation rushing, so he is a leader
on that team. There's no doubt about it. I had
the chance to sit down with the young man. He's
a great kid, you know, he's a great young man.
(10:16):
We really didn't talk much about the mistake, but he
talked about the fact that he I made a mistake
and want to own up for it and get past it,
because if you address it now, then after this it
really doesn't become anything other than just football moving forward.
So there's definitely something to that. I think, you know,
bringing him here after making the mistake is by design.
(10:39):
To me. There's also brilliance in it because most people
take away from the Big twelve media day, even having
Olie Gordon here, with what has transpired was My Gundy's comments.
It's like the focus shifts on my Gundy now because
of what he says. And I don't know if it's
by design, if it's attacked, but I think it's brilliant
(11:01):
if it is.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I don't think it's by design. I definitely think it's
what's happened, and of course there is a little bit
of brilliance to it. I just look, I'm gonna love
vocal mistate. I consider my gun to a friend. I
cannot think of a worse way to discuss the situation.
Then I just can't. I just can't. And I understand
(11:33):
your I understand what he's saying, and it's the old
one keeping it real goes wrong, But like you do
realize what you said. You said basically, you've gotten behind
the wheel after drinking beers a thousand times, and I'm
sensitive to it. I've been hit by a drunk driver,
(11:55):
and I had a friend who's mom was killed by
a drunk driver when I was in elementary school. I
think the idea of taking somebody's life into your hands
that you have nothing to do with, nothing new with it.
I think. I just be honest. It's fucking embarrassing to
my alma mater. And I can say this because this
(12:17):
is how I roll with my friends, with people I
like and people I respect, which is you can say
something and you're like, I just I cannot believe you
said that, and you know I know that he did
the kind of Let me let me explain what. It
doesn't matter, nobody's gonna run the explanation, tweet or whatever.
(12:38):
I just what is the win. And what he said,
I don't even mind. Like if you don't suspend him,
but you don't run the shit out of him, I don't.
I don't get any of it. I don't. And anybody
who says they do is fucking lying because they you know,
they just you know, it's like and I get that.
Mike's just trying to say, like, look, you know, it
(12:58):
has happened before. I get it. It has happened before.
I'm not gonna say I'm an angel, and i haven't
had a couple of times in which I've gotten behind
the wheel and you get home, You're like, I should
have done that. It's happened. For absolutely to say it's
happened a thousand times, it happens all the time, and
you know, like that that's not if it's happened a
(13:21):
thousand times. We got a major proble hands. I got
the gist of what he's saying. I actually believe that
facing the music and answering the questions is a really
hard thing. It is embarrassing. I just didn't like the
treatment as the this is no big deal and it
(13:42):
could have been a major, major, major deal, and the
fact that we're perpetuating this fraud that it happens all
the time to the same people. I just I think
it's dangerous and I think it's embarrassing I do. This
is Paul Pierce talking about this year's US Olympic men's
basketball team.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
The best player on the team is Jason Tatum. Wait,
the best player in the whole team on the USA team.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You're talking about the second five.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Or the skip I'm talking about the USA man twenty
twenty four Olympic Basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
By the way, in the strung Pole, he got zero votes.
A bunch of other players got votes.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Stephan, God, that's a popularity got him. We're talking about
the guy who's just coming off a championship. Yeah, on
the best team. I mean, come on, it's a popularity.
I think about Skippy is Key. If y'all in the
room with Lebron, Steph KD and y'all playing a pickup game,
even though you know who Tatum is, you gonna probably
(14:44):
pick Lebron first, just based off of that's Lebron, that's Katie,
that's Steph, Like, come on, but we and all these
players are well past their prime. Still great, yeah, well
past their prime. But if we're talking about a popularity
contest they gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I don't think Justin Damas is the best player on
that team. Kawiet Leonard pulling out of the Olympics obviously
changed the dynamic, and we'll see who they add in
his place. I think it's Anthony Davis. That's for my
two cents. I think Anthony Davis is the best player
(15:20):
in that team. Or you know, Joel Embiid. And it's
pretty obvious that Paul doesn't like or respect Joel Embiid,
but Joe Embiid's the best player in the team. This
is Colin Cowhert talking about Major League Baseball and the
lack of offense around the league this year.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Major League Baseball has raised the mound and lowered the mound.
Back in the Bob Gibson here a late sixties, and
Bob Gibson was unhittable for long stretches. They lowered the mound.
I think you have so many great athletes, so many
guys six ' five throwing downhill, throwing high nineties, some
over one hundred. I think you have to consider it.
Because baseball, the games are shorter. It's a better television product.
(15:56):
It's better TV product but it is very you guys
are hitting. I checked last week, only twelve players are
hitting over three hundred in the sport. So and again,
let's solve it like the game time. They have solved
it down to two thirty five. You watch a baseball
game now, like it's you. They fly by, The action's quick,
(16:18):
it's fast. They got to get the offense moving. And
I think there's an explanation. Lower the mound about six inches.
Give give hitters a chance. Aaron Judge and Shoe Hey
O Tani and Milkie bats and Freddie Freeman. They're gonna
hit against anybody. But it does feel like there's some
quicket bats, some really quick at bat.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah. I mean part is also their approach has changed,
where there's a greater value on home runs and less
of a detriment when you strike out. Also, there's so
many more power pitchers, you know, there's just everybody's throwing
high nineties. I don't mind lowering the mound to create
more offense, but you know, I'm all for creating more
(16:58):
offense kind of organically and lower than the mount and
does to me create it organically more so than any
other rules you can put kind of into place. That's
what the Fox said.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I say. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Let's find out who are what is annoying Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And now it's your annoying?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Hey, Jason, what's annoying to you today?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
J J Reddick got a job with no coaching experience.
Doug Gottlieb got a job with no college coaching experience.
Jared Dudley sounds like he's in that minority of people
that is resentful. He said this, YESA said owner.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I want to head coach.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
That's my dream and ambitions to be able to do that.
But at the same time, you could have it. Some
of us aren't. JJ Reddick can go right away. Sometimes
you got to put some of this. I got to
be able to do in two, three years and four
or five years in assistant and then you know, we
all have different times, and my time would come later on,
but my time will visually come.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
He says. I'm not JJ Reddick. I can't just be
given a head coaching job. I need to put in
my time Jared Dudley, I think is refusing to believe,
like a very American truth, that life isn't fair. Sometimes
the popular kid gets the pretty girl and it's not fair.
(18:36):
It doesn't make any sense. Caitlin Clark is the most
popular player by far in her league, and a lot
of people want to point at different reasons. There's no reason,
there's no metric, there's no explanation. JJ Reddick got a
job because he was what more visible, because he's a
smarter guy. He's the popular guy that got the real
(18:59):
hot chick. So I guess in one way, I do
relate to the Jared Dudleys of the world. Sam Cassell's
you know that are put in their time and haven't
gotten h an opportunity yet. But then again, this is life, Doug. So.
Rory McElroy spoke for the first time today since he
(19:19):
what I say, choked at the US Open. People like
Dan Bayer refused to use the word choke.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
They said he didn't think he choked.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
They say the word like coming up short. So Rory McElroy,
remember he left right after the event and was asked
today why he did that.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Do you have any.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Regrets about the way you left after the round rather
than staying and speaking to anyone.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Absolutely not, No, there's nothing that I could have said
that was not that. I mean, it would have been
good because you guys would have been able to write
something about it or had a few quol for me.
But no offense. You guys are the least of my
worries at that point.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I think he was going for a little bit of
humor there, but I'm guessing he looked into a room
of just straight faces.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Because, like.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Is, aren't the media supposed to uncomfortably laughter that stuff?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, but when when you directly insult them and then
try to patronize them with an answer like that, I
think that they take that personally fright.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I think it's that that's true. Do you So, what's
what's annoying? Sorry, let me give you a chance to.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I just think that there's a there's a certain decorum
to losing. If you're a high profile athlete in this country,
answer the questions afterwards, and if you don't answer the questions,
then I think you have you could receive all the
criticism you deserve.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think that's totally fair your perspective. I also, but
I think that a lot of this comes from our
and athletes probably have just as bad of a position
on it, maybe the worst, because politicians need the media
more for the checks and balances, right to check on
you know, like to check on us a little bit,
(21:08):
to keep us in check. And as you pointed out,
you know with the Biden thing, not always do do
we do our jobs? We fall short, We protect people
we're not supposed to protect. We're supposed to be neutral
and balanced to whatever, and that seems to have gone
the way of the Dodo. Now the media is a
little bit different for athletes in that, yes, we're supposed
to provide checks and balances, but also we're kind of
(21:30):
a promotional tool. We sell and and what we write
is supposed to be the emotions and feelings of the
absolute moment. And this was, by the way, an opportunity
for Rorri to be a real human being who came
up short or choked or however you want to say it.
But athletes don't get it today. They don't think they
(21:52):
need the media. They just don't, and of course they do. So. Yeah,
I just the fact that here we've had how many
weeks ago? Was that? Was it? Two weeks ago? Three
weeks ago. I don't even remember the fact that we've
had some time now to where nobody's pulled him aside
and like, hey dude, and all you got to do
(22:15):
is answer a couple questions and people will have empathy
towards you, like we've all we've all come up short
or failed or choked or at some point in time
or life. But by running from it, you kind of
seem like a little baby. So yeah, I'm with you.
It's annoying.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Kawhi Leonard is annoying. I think I've stated that he's
annoying on this segment three times. Because of this very reason,
he's not going to be available to the team. I
think of all the players on the roster, if I'm
not mistaken, you were asked yesterday to rank the top
three players and he was number one? Was he or
(22:52):
maybe maybe he was at least in the top two.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think Embid was number one.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So it kind of sucks that we can't watch kawhile
And it's just annoying that he goes down it seems
to go down roads or commits to things, and inevitably
this is the result. I don't know, it's just annoying to.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Me, It is annoying, but I mean, I gotta tell
you if your knee is not right, like what are
we doing? You know? And it does give some opportunity,
Like I was, I think worse of athletes that go
there knowing they're hurt, knowing they can't play, but just
wanted to get through the experience and just be part
of it. So I can see the opposite. So I
could see the opposite like, hey, least he didn't now,
(23:31):
at least he didn't wait till he's already at the
Olympic Games and it's like, hey, by the way, I'm
too hurt to play, but I'll collect my gold medal.
So that's why he can't win this thing. I would
say Jared Dudley's most annoying, you know. I would say
Jared Dudley's the most annoying. And I like Jared Dudley
a lot, a lot, a lot, But I also think
(23:55):
that I don't love whining about our lots and lives.
That'd be the thing I'm against. So for the sake
of this segment, Jared doud like, God.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Why are we doing this? I do because we can.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
David Wells David Wells, what do you have, like two
hundred and twenty career wins, a really good pitcher, and
maybe the thing that's overlooked most about him is that
he pitched against steroid users.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Well he was asking a perfect game or just a
no hitter? Oh, hit it through a perfect game. Yeah,
And he was asked about that and the stird era
on the Barstool podcast.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
Did you know at the time, You're like, these guys
are juicing and like they're the guys were doing them
right and what guys weren't right? And you know it's
just I look back now, I go, fuck, I wish
you would have done them. Yeah, to be honest.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
With you, that's an honest answer.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
I wish I would have because I don't think I
would have. I think I would have gained velocity, you know,
I think in that aspect, so with my ability to
throw strikes, I think it would have made me a
lot better.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
I think injuries, you know, these little aches and pains
you get, you know, the dead arm period and stuff
like that that you get. So it's like, you know
that that might have been a big difference for me.
But no, I never did them. So, you know. But
to me, it sucks that the guys that did them
that didn't need to do them. Yeah, and you know,
I guess so, I guess I would say allegedly they did,
(25:32):
but you know, we all know what guys did them,
and so to me, but you know that that's just
the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I love it. I take the opposite tact of the
I wish I would have done it, but I wish
you would have said. I wish I would have said something.
You know, I wish people would have known. But I
still understand it. Why can we play it for you
because we can't. Hey, Jay, I haven't asked you, Kevin
(26:00):
asked you. What is your take on steroid era? Like
we you and I have never discussed this. Like, are
you a they should all get in the Hall of Fame?
Are you not? What's your feeling on it?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
No, they should not be in the Hall of fame.
Here's the problem. Yvonne Rodrigoz is in the Hall of Fame. Like,
I don't think that steroid users should get the reward,
Like the Hall of Fame is just a reward. I
don't think you should be rewarded for it. You were
already rewarded financially and by lengthening your career and stuff.
(26:33):
I don't think you should get the reward of the
Hall of Fame. The problem is, I don't know how
like an Evonne Rodriguez, who is obviously a juiced up reuter,
gets in the Hall of Fame and now Barry Bonds
is not. So it's like, at some point we allowed
for the Hall of Fame voters to like be pseudo
(26:55):
physicians or doctors and determine which guys were on it.
I guess there was like actual lists of you know,
leaked lists of people that failed tests that like rafae
Al Palmerow and others were on. But that's kind of
the tricky part, right, there's a gray area. There are
people in the Hall of Fame right now that have
gone on the last ten years that did steroids, and
(27:16):
I think they got over big time.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Right Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm with you. It's a slippery slope.
I would not let Barry Bonds in the Hall of Fame,
even though Rodriguez and Mike Piazza are in. I would not,
But I do think it's some bullshit that some of
those dudes are in when we all knew. We all knew,
and and to anybody's like, well we don't know, yes
(27:40):
you do. It's really simple, really simple. So all of
these players take it physical for the season begins, every
one of them and those and those physicals are still
readily available to anybody who is allowed to see them
can't see them because of hippa. So my or bolsal
(28:00):
would be, if you want to be in the Hall
of Fame and you want to say you were clean,
then show us your physicals and no one has to
know any of the other findings of it, but it
will show in your blood and your urine whether or
not you were taking steroids. And the reason guys won't
do that is because they were taking steroids. Anyway. That's
(28:21):
it for the end of the Modes podcast. Check out
the radio show three to five every day Eastern time
on Fox Sport trade of the iHeartRadio app. I'm Doug Gottlieb.
All right, this is the Doug Godly Show years in
the bonus with Doug gottl.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Gott even showing the bone's Fox Sports Radio. I heart
ready to app Welcome in, Welcome, Welcome in. So here's
the thing. I think I know what it's what it
means to be mature, and I'm like one of the
(00:32):
least mature mature people, right because I actually think that
some part of maturity sucks, and I don't think we
should always celebrate the like it's okay to still be
a kid and have a kid's heart and a kid's spirit,
like I still believe I have that. I'm still wide
eyed at new experiences that I haven't experienced previously. I
don't know how you guys are, but I do think
(00:53):
that there's something to this as a as a as
a sign of maturity. Sam, did you like school? I'm sorry, Profet.
Did you like school?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Uh? I think that was largely dependent upon the classes.
There were definitely classes I enjoyed a lot more than others, History, English,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
But like high school? Did you like it? Did you
like the actual school aspect to it? I?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
So I went to a Jesuit high school and yes,
I did. I mean I picked the school because I
liked it and I enjoyed going there. I had friends,
And I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
No, no, that's not what I said. I meant the
actual scholastic exercise of learning stuff like I and and
I get that I was.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
I was.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
I was a nerd. I read books, I took a
B classes, I took an advanced placement in a college class.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
I was.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
I liked those things. I just I can't tell you
that I actually enjoyed doing them. And Stu Ja, Stu,
where are you on the level of enjoyment in taking
the classes and learning while you're in school?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
I'm talking about very rare way. Did I enjoy school?
And this goes through college too, And in recent years,
just in recent years, I've like I've become like a
Civil War buff Yeah, and I wish I would have
in those moments back in the day, I paid attention better,
you know, And.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I think I think that was what I was getting. So, Chris,
I'm not not trying to put words in your mouth,
but I do think and so I don't know, maybe
you're different, but I do think most people don't really
enjoy the scholastic experience to especially high school and middle school.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
No, I would agree with that. I'm absolutely in the
minority in that regard. Yeah, I picked up on a
lot of these interests faster than other people.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So, but what happens is when you become some sort
of mature persons, Like it's like Jason's way, you actually
like learning, Like I actually love learning stuff I've loved.
My kids don't do it enough for my taste. But
when they've asked me about you know, I mean, heck,
I would help them write English papers just because I
enjoy doing it. I'm talking about my own children, Like, no,
(02:56):
you know, And when they send me something that's really good,
like one of my daughter's Grace she sent me her
college essay. It was really really good, and I was like, damn,
I like that. I was like, but I would you
need to change this?
Speaker 4 (03:09):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
So my point is that when you get to be
maybe it's get to be middle aged. I don't know, Jay,
maybe that's what it is, but we start to actually
like learning. They're like, man, I have the same feeling.
Why did I pay attention to school? Because some of
the stuff is really interesting, really interesting, And then some
of the stuff I paid attention to in school, you know,
(03:31):
you kind of like prophet, Like I did like learning then,
but I love learning now. Anyway, I say that because
I love this expression. I was today years old when
I learned that, you know, and I was today years
old that I learned that break dancing is in the Olympics.
(03:51):
And here's my issue with the Olympics and break dancing
and other things. It's like, okay, wait, wait, so the
gold medal is supposed to be the most prestigious championship
prize on Earth. Right, It's supposed to say that you
are the best in the entire world at this one thing. Right,
isn't that what the gold medal is? Jase Dou? Is that? Okay, yep,
(04:14):
you are the best at the entire world at this
one thing. And yet, how do we equate breakdancing to
the one hundred meter dash? The gold medals are the same,
only the sport is different. I mean, think about that
for a second. If you have the one hundred meter dash,
whoever wins that is the fastest person on Earth and
(04:36):
there is no subjectivity to it. Yet whoever the best
breakdancer is on Earth had to have qualified for it whatever,
And then it scored, and it's just so weird. The
fact that those are both equal. Is it creates inequality
or maybe not inequality, it creates a it's really hard
(04:56):
for you to tell me how important this stuff is,
how important a gold medal is, and me to say,
you know, everybody needs to go and feel like Kawhi
Leonard Man, are you letting your country down because your
body's letting you down? And then the other hand, we're like, yeah,
but they also give out trophies for best breakdancwer.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
This is like a this is a description out of
nineteen eighty four, Like we all love nineteen eighty four,
Remember Karl Lewis, Yeah, the Russians sat out the Olympics,
you know, I remember vividly. But this sounds like a
description out of nineteen eighty four, the description of breaking
the new event at the Olympics. This year, athletes will
(05:33):
use a combination of power moves, including wind meals, a
six step that freezes as they adapt their style and
improvise to the beat of the DJ's tracks in a
bid to secure the judges votes and take home the
Olympic gold Like is there a more subjective I understand
that like I think figure skating and all these are
(05:54):
kind of subjective and how the judges see it. But like,
this seems to be the most subjective sport in the
history of sports, and I want to know who's who
the judges are? Is it the cast of UH break
into Electric Googleloo.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Well, this is something that's been bigger over in Europe
than it is here, is it. Let's say, yeah, no,
this is like because this is in France. It's part
of like the UH. I forget the exact term they
use in the Olympics, but they do this like they
had skateboarding in Japan. They've had actually I think Tayekwon
Dos stuck around for quite a bit. They'll have flag
football here in the United States in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Like they also kind of fucking stupid.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah, but they add in these like smaller.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Like like, no, listen, three on three basketball and I
love fran for Schillin and he's helping coaching it whatever,
But that's three hundred basketball. Why don't we do one
on one as well?
Speaker 3 (06:42):
Yeah, it's just it's it's what they do to try
to keep themselves relevant sometimes and unfortunately it comes to
the expense of like you know, you'll get the IOC
talking about like, oh, yeah, we should just kill wrestling,
and it's like why, why would you kill a one hundred
year sport for this? But yeah, this seems like a
very French euro Continental focus thing.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. I mean, just imagine me an
Olympic village, like, would you win? Well, I win the
hundred meter dash, I'm the fastest person on earth. Would
you win? I'm the best break dancer in the Olympics.
Got it?
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Got it?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, the Olympics are a lot. I just I've never
been a big Olympic guy since eighty four. Eighty four
was awesome. Here's how pointing eighty four was per fet right.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
My father has been doing a ton of Olympics in
his life. He went to Munich, He's been all over
to a lot of these.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Carl Lewis, Mary Lee and Mary lou Retten, Michael Jordan, Edwin, Moses, Florence, Griffith, Joiner, Flow.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Joe, Iconic Americans from Oh my.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Gosh, I mean, did we and look, yes, we didn't
have the Eastern Bloc countries weren't there, but we kicked
some ass and we made huge names of so many
of these people, so many people.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
I went to the do you know the the torch
went through went through our town and Brea. We all
went down to the community center and we uh picnicked
and we watched some local hack politician run the torch
through Brea.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
So I've been to two in my life. I've been
to Atlanta and I've been to Sydney. In Sydney, yeah,
I went to my again. My father had like connections
with the US Track and Field news reporting, so I've
we we went to as a family to Sydney. We
saw a lot of I saw it was mostly swimming,
and then I was really I was doing karate in
high school, so I went to see the judo events
(08:37):
and I think that was the year they also type one.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Mean what swimming? Can you see them swimming underwater?
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
No, you can see them swimming in the pool.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
But what about when they do the underwater stuff like
you can't see like the way you can see on TV.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
No, I mean, but you see them. You can you
see them breaking the water from up in the stands.
There's got to be an underwater monitor nowadays, right, But no,
I mean freestyle freestyle butterfly. That's not all underwater. You're
you're swimming against the surface. Oh I thought you were
talking about that synchronized crop. Oh no, not that.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
No.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
I did see water polo down there, and that is
a that is a hell of a sport.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
That's hell of a sport.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Be short to catch live editions of The Doug Gottlieb
Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Let's get to the Fox says and now what does
say every day at this time of The Doug Gottlieb
Show Podcast. In the bonus, we bring to you a
portion of a previous show on Fox Sports Radio Fox
Sports One. This is Jonas Knox and Brady Quinn talking
about Mike Gundi's controversial DUI comments yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I just think he was being a little too honest
when he probably should have given a PC answer and.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Nobody would have thought two things.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
That's a that'll though, that's nice.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
I think this is this is twofold, all right. So
let me first say this, this is by design that
he brings Ali Gordon to the Big twelve media days
for starters. The guy won the doak Walker. Last year
he led the Nation rushing, so he is a leader
on that team. There's no doubt about it. I had
the chance to sit down with the young man. He's
a great kid, you know, he's a great young man.
(10:16):
We really didn't talk much about the mistake, but he
talked about the fact that he I made a mistake
and want to own up for it and get past it,
because if you address it now, then after this it
really doesn't become anything other than just football moving forward.
So there's definitely something to that. I think, you know,
bringing him here after making the mistake is by design.
(10:39):
To me. There's also brilliance in it because most people
take away from the Big twelve media day, even having
Olie Gordon here, with what has transpired was My Gundy's comments.
It's like the focus shifts on my Gundy now because
of what he says. And I don't know if it's
by design, if it's attacked, but I think it's brilliant
(11:01):
if it is.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I don't think it's by design. I definitely think it's
what's happened, and of course there is a little bit
of brilliance to it. I just look, I'm gonna love
vocal mistate. I consider my gun to a friend. I
cannot think of a worse way to discuss the situation.
Then I just can't. I just can't. And I understand
(11:33):
your I understand what he's saying, and it's the old
one keeping it real goes wrong, But like you do
realize what you said. You said basically, you've gotten behind
the wheel after drinking beers a thousand times, and I'm
sensitive to it. I've been hit by a drunk driver,
(11:55):
and I had a friend who's mom was killed by
a drunk driver when I was in elementary school. I
think the idea of taking somebody's life into your hands
that you have nothing to do with, nothing new with it.
I think. I just be honest. It's fucking embarrassing to
my alma mater. And I can say this because this
(12:17):
is how I roll with my friends, with people I
like and people I respect, which is you can say
something and you're like, I just I cannot believe you
said that, and you know I know that he did
the kind of Let me let me explain what. It
doesn't matter, nobody's gonna run the explanation, tweet or whatever.
(12:38):
I just what is the win. And what he said,
I don't even mind. Like if you don't suspend him,
but you don't run the shit out of him, I don't.
I don't get any of it. I don't. And anybody
who says they do is fucking lying because they you know,
they just you know, it's like and I get that.
Mike's just trying to say, like, look, you know, it
(12:58):
has happened before. I get it. It has happened before.
I'm not gonna say I'm an angel, and i haven't
had a couple of times in which I've gotten behind
the wheel and you get home, You're like, I should
have done that. It's happened. For absolutely to say it's
happened a thousand times, it happens all the time, and
you know, like that that's not if it's happened a
(13:21):
thousand times. We got a major proble hands. I got
the gist of what he's saying. I actually believe that
facing the music and answering the questions is a really
hard thing. It is embarrassing. I just didn't like the
treatment as the this is no big deal and it
(13:42):
could have been a major, major, major deal, and the
fact that we're perpetuating this fraud that it happens all
the time to the same people. I just I think
it's dangerous and I think it's embarrassing I do. This
is Paul Pierce talking about this year's US Olympic men's
basketball team.
Speaker 7 (14:03):
The best player on the team is Jason Tatum. Wait,
the best player in the whole team on the USA team.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
You're talking about the second five.
Speaker 7 (14:10):
Or the skip I'm talking about the USA man twenty
twenty four Olympic Basketball.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
By the way, in the strung Pole, he got zero votes.
A bunch of other players got votes.
Speaker 7 (14:22):
Stephan, God, that's a popularity got him. We're talking about
the guy who's just coming off a championship. Yeah, on
the best team. I mean, come on, it's a popularity.
I think about Skippy is Key. If y'all in the
room with Lebron, Steph KD and y'all playing a pickup game,
even though you know who Tatum is, you gonna probably
(14:44):
pick Lebron first, just based off of that's Lebron, that's Katie,
that's Steph, Like, come on, but we and all these
players are well past their prime. Still great, yeah, well
past their prime. But if we're talking about a popularity
contest they gonna.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I don't think Justin Damas is the best player on
that team. Kawiet Leonard pulling out of the Olympics obviously
changed the dynamic, and we'll see who they add in
his place. I think it's Anthony Davis. That's for my
two cents. I think Anthony Davis is the best player
(15:20):
in that team. Or you know, Joel Embiid. And it's
pretty obvious that Paul doesn't like or respect Joel Embiid,
but Joe Embiid's the best player in the team. This
is Colin Cowhert talking about Major League Baseball and the
lack of offense around the league this year.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Major League Baseball has raised the mound and lowered the mound.
Back in the Bob Gibson here a late sixties, and
Bob Gibson was unhittable for long stretches. They lowered the mound.
I think you have so many great athletes, so many
guys six ' five throwing downhill, throwing high nineties, some
over one hundred. I think you have to consider it.
Because baseball, the games are shorter. It's a better television product.
(15:56):
It's better TV product but it is very you guys
are hitting. I checked last week, only twelve players are
hitting over three hundred in the sport. So and again,
let's solve it like the game time. They have solved
it down to two thirty five. You watch a baseball
game now, like it's you. They fly by, The action's quick,
(16:18):
it's fast. They got to get the offense moving. And
I think there's an explanation. Lower the mound about six inches.
Give give hitters a chance. Aaron Judge and Shoe Hey
O Tani and Milkie bats and Freddie Freeman. They're gonna
hit against anybody. But it does feel like there's some
quicket bats, some really quick at bat.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Yeah. I mean part is also their approach has changed,
where there's a greater value on home runs and less
of a detriment when you strike out. Also, there's so
many more power pitchers, you know, there's just everybody's throwing
high nineties. I don't mind lowering the mound to create
more offense, but you know, I'm all for creating more
(16:58):
offense kind of organically and lower than the mount and
does to me create it organically more so than any
other rules you can put kind of into place. That's
what the Fox said.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I say. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Let's find out who are what is annoying Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
And now it's your annoying?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Hey, Jason, what's annoying to you today?
Speaker 4 (17:37):
J J Reddick got a job with no coaching experience.
Doug Gottlieb got a job with no college coaching experience.
Jared Dudley sounds like he's in that minority of people
that is resentful. He said this, YESA said owner.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
I want to head coach.
Speaker 8 (17:56):
That's my dream and ambitions to be able to do that.
But at the same time, you could have it. Some
of us aren't. JJ Reddick can go right away. Sometimes
you got to put some of this. I got to
be able to do in two, three years and four
or five years in assistant and then you know, we
all have different times, and my time would come later on,
but my time will visually come.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
He says. I'm not JJ Reddick. I can't just be
given a head coaching job. I need to put in
my time Jared Dudley, I think is refusing to believe,
like a very American truth, that life isn't fair. Sometimes
the popular kid gets the pretty girl and it's not fair.
(18:36):
It doesn't make any sense. Caitlin Clark is the most
popular player by far in her league, and a lot
of people want to point at different reasons. There's no reason,
there's no metric, there's no explanation. JJ Reddick got a
job because he was what more visible, because he's a
smarter guy. He's the popular guy that got the real
(18:59):
hot chick. So I guess in one way, I do
relate to the Jared Dudleys of the world. Sam Cassell's
you know that are put in their time and haven't
gotten h an opportunity yet. But then again, this is life, Doug. So.
Rory McElroy spoke for the first time today since he
(19:19):
what I say, choked at the US Open. People like
Dan Bayer refused to use the word choke.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
They said he didn't think he choked.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
They say the word like coming up short. So Rory McElroy,
remember he left right after the event and was asked
today why he did that.
Speaker 7 (19:41):
Do you have any.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Regrets about the way you left after the round rather
than staying and speaking to anyone.
Speaker 9 (19:47):
Absolutely not, No, there's nothing that I could have said
that was not that. I mean, it would have been
good because you guys would have been able to write
something about it or had a few quol for me.
But no offense. You guys are the least of my
worries at that point.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
I think he was going for a little bit of
humor there, but I'm guessing he looked into a room
of just straight faces.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Because, like.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Is, aren't the media supposed to uncomfortably laughter that stuff?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
Yeah, but when when you directly insult them and then
try to patronize them with an answer like that, I
think that they take that personally fright.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
I think it's that that's true. Do you So, what's
what's annoying? Sorry, let me give you a chance to.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
I just think that there's a there's a certain decorum
to losing. If you're a high profile athlete in this country,
answer the questions afterwards, and if you don't answer the questions,
then I think you have you could receive all the
criticism you deserve.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I think that's totally fair your perspective. I also, but
I think that a lot of this comes from our
and athletes probably have just as bad of a position
on it, maybe the worst, because politicians need the media
more for the checks and balances, right to check on
you know, like to check on us a little bit,
(21:08):
to keep us in check. And as you pointed out,
you know with the Biden thing, not always do do
we do our jobs? We fall short, We protect people
we're not supposed to protect. We're supposed to be neutral
and balanced to whatever, and that seems to have gone
the way of the Dodo. Now the media is a
little bit different for athletes in that, yes, we're supposed
to provide checks and balances, but also we're kind of
(21:30):
a promotional tool. We sell and and what we write
is supposed to be the emotions and feelings of the
absolute moment. And this was, by the way, an opportunity
for Rorri to be a real human being who came
up short or choked or however you want to say it.
But athletes don't get it today. They don't think they
(21:52):
need the media. They just don't, and of course they do. So. Yeah,
I just the fact that here we've had how many
weeks ago? Was that? Was it? Two weeks ago? Three
weeks ago. I don't even remember the fact that we've
had some time now to where nobody's pulled him aside
and like, hey dude, and all you got to do
(22:15):
is answer a couple questions and people will have empathy
towards you, like we've all we've all come up short
or failed or choked or at some point in time
or life. But by running from it, you kind of
seem like a little baby. So yeah, I'm with you.
It's annoying.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Kawhi Leonard is annoying. I think I've stated that he's
annoying on this segment three times. Because of this very reason,
he's not going to be available to the team. I
think of all the players on the roster, if I'm
not mistaken, you were asked yesterday to rank the top
three players and he was number one? Was he or
(22:52):
maybe maybe he was at least in the top two.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I think Embid was number one.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
So it kind of sucks that we can't watch kawhile
And it's just annoying that he goes down it seems
to go down roads or commits to things, and inevitably
this is the result. I don't know, it's just annoying to.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Me, It is annoying, but I mean, I gotta tell
you if your knee is not right, like what are
we doing? You know? And it does give some opportunity,
Like I was, I think worse of athletes that go
there knowing they're hurt, knowing they can't play, but just
wanted to get through the experience and just be part
of it. So I can see the opposite. So I
could see the opposite like, hey, least he didn't now,
(23:31):
at least he didn't wait till he's already at the
Olympic Games and it's like, hey, by the way, I'm
too hurt to play, but I'll collect my gold medal.
So that's why he can't win this thing. I would
say Jared Dudley's most annoying, you know. I would say
Jared Dudley's the most annoying. And I like Jared Dudley
a lot, a lot, a lot, But I also think
(23:55):
that I don't love whining about our lots and lives.
That'd be the thing I'm against. So for the sake
of this segment, Jared doud like, God.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Why are we doing this? I do because we can.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
David Wells David Wells, what do you have, like two
hundred and twenty career wins, a really good pitcher, and
maybe the thing that's overlooked most about him is that
he pitched against steroid users.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Well he was asking a perfect game or just a
no hitter? Oh, hit it through a perfect game. Yeah,
And he was asked about that and the stird era
on the Barstool podcast.
Speaker 10 (24:41):
Did you know at the time, You're like, these guys
are juicing and like they're the guys were doing them
right and what guys weren't right? And you know it's
just I look back now, I go, fuck, I wish
you would have done them. Yeah, to be honest.
Speaker 7 (24:54):
With you, that's an honest answer.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
I wish I would have because I don't think I
would have. I think I would have gained velocity, you know,
I think in that aspect, so with my ability to
throw strikes, I think it would have made me a
lot better.
Speaker 9 (25:09):
You know.
Speaker 10 (25:09):
I think injuries, you know, these little aches and pains
you get, you know, the dead arm period and stuff
like that that you get. So it's like, you know
that that might have been a big difference for me.
But no, I never did them. So, you know. But
to me, it sucks that the guys that did them
that didn't need to do them. Yeah, and you know,
I guess so, I guess I would say allegedly they did,
(25:32):
but you know, we all know what guys did them,
and so to me, but you know that that's just
the thing.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I love it. I take the opposite tact of the
I wish I would have done it, but I wish
you would have said. I wish I would have said something.
You know, I wish people would have known. But I
still understand it. Why can we play it for you
because we can't. Hey, Jay, I haven't asked you, Kevin
(26:00):
asked you. What is your take on steroid era? Like
we you and I have never discussed this. Like, are
you a they should all get in the Hall of Fame?
Are you not? What's your feeling on it?
Speaker 4 (26:11):
No, they should not be in the Hall of fame.
Here's the problem. Yvonne Rodrigoz is in the Hall of Fame. Like,
I don't think that steroid users should get the reward,
Like the Hall of Fame is just a reward. I
don't think you should be rewarded for it. You were
already rewarded financially and by lengthening your career and stuff.
(26:33):
I don't think you should get the reward of the
Hall of Fame. The problem is, I don't know how
like an Evonne Rodriguez, who is obviously a juiced up reuter,
gets in the Hall of Fame and now Barry Bonds
is not. So it's like, at some point we allowed
for the Hall of Fame voters to like be pseudo
(26:55):
physicians or doctors and determine which guys were on it.
I guess there was like actual lists of you know,
leaked lists of people that failed tests that like rafae
Al Palmerow and others were on. But that's kind of
the tricky part, right, there's a gray area. There are
people in the Hall of Fame right now that have
gone on the last ten years that did steroids, and
(27:16):
I think they got over big time.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Right Yeah, yeah, I'm I'm with you. It's a slippery slope.
I would not let Barry Bonds in the Hall of Fame,
even though Rodriguez and Mike Piazza are in. I would not,
But I do think it's some bullshit that some of
those dudes are in when we all knew. We all knew,
and and to anybody's like, well we don't know, yes
(27:40):
you do. It's really simple, really simple. So all of
these players take it physical for the season begins, every
one of them and those and those physicals are still
readily available to anybody who is allowed to see them
can't see them because of hippa. So my or bolsal
(28:00):
would be, if you want to be in the Hall
of Fame and you want to say you were clean,
then show us your physicals and no one has to
know any of the other findings of it, but it
will show in your blood and your urine whether or
not you were taking steroids. And the reason guys won't
do that is because they were taking steroids. Anyway. That's
(28:21):
it for the end of the Modes podcast. Check out
