(00:48):
Our guy Dan Byer on vacation with his family, coming
back to his home state of Wisconsin. He stop by
after the show yesterday. Hopefully if you stop by after
the show, you can just download the podcast. Check it
out and the podcast. This one's going to be an
interesting one because I feel like there's a real conversation
to be had. There's a lot. There's a lot to it,
(01:10):
and I kind of think I'm the perfect guy to
have this conversation. But there's also the realization that this
will likely get misconstrued and a lot of people are
gonna get mad because I'm telling the God's honest truth,
my gun He's head coach Mile Mountern Oaklhama States football
coach is winning his football coach in the history of
the program. He's done an amazing job. I consider him
(01:34):
a friend, a mentor, someone who I text with occasionally
gives me a ton of personal and professional advice. I
like him a lot, and I do understand on some
level the realness that he wanted to share with the
world and relate it to how he's treating the Doak
(01:54):
Walker Award winner Ollie Gordon after's DUI arrest last week.
On the other hand, what what so here's my gunny
Oli Gordon, who didn't really this is what's crazy about it.
(02:16):
The first three games last year, he split time. They
had three running backs and three quarterbacks. By the time
he became the go to running back, then he became
the best running back in college football. He had an
amazing year. Oli Gordon is a beloved figure. I believe
he's making somewhere close to seven figures to play football
(02:40):
at my alma mater. He's done anything and everything in
the name of the university, gone to events, check hands,
kiss babies, like in terms of trying to earn it
for appearances, He's done it. But then he gets to
dui arrest last week. And this was Mike Gundy at
(03:01):
Big twelve media day yesterday.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
So I looked it up on my phone. What would
be the legal limit like in Oklahoma's point eight and
Ollie was point one. So I looked it up and
it was based on body weight. Not to get into
the legal side of it, but I thought, really, two
or three beers or four. I'm not justifying what all
he did. I'm telling you what decision I made. Well,
(03:24):
I thought, I've probably done that a thousand times in
my life, and I'm you know, it's just fine. So
I got lucky. People get lucky. All he made a
decision that he wished he could have done better. But
when I talked to Ollie, I told him, I said,
you're lucky you got out light because you make a
lot of money to play football. So back in the day,
(03:44):
being able to cover the cost of what he's going
to go through would be difficult for a college player.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
It's not for him.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Now, I'm not speaking for him, but I'm just saying
that's not an issue for him. So nobody got hurt.
And I said, we see people doing this and people
lose their lives across the country, not just football players
but everybody.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
So you got out lucky.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yeah. So there's a bunch of contradictions within it, right,
because he's right, Oli was very lucky. He's right, people
have done this. Now. One of the miscalculations is the
three or four beers. That's three or four beers in
an hour. Right, you have three or four beers, You're
not going to over four or five hours. You're not
(04:29):
going to go over the league of limit. You have
three or four beers within the hour, you will. I
am not some prude. I am not some unrealistic human being.
I'm by the way, I am somebody who's committed a
criminal offense, which is very different. But I'm not going
to sit here and deny that I haven't always made
(04:52):
deny that I've made the wrong decision. More than ten
times in my life. But not only am I not
going to say it, I know it's not true. It
hasn't been over a thousand times, not even ten times
in which I've had a couple of beers and got
behind the wheel of a car. And I just I
(05:14):
think everything about it was off. Everything about it was off.
Like your best player, your highest paid player, gets a DUI,
and your response to his punishment isn't We're going to
run him till his ankle smoke. And look, I get it,
(05:36):
the off season suspension is stupid, right, But the hey
I might have, his punishment is I'm going to hand
him the ball fifty times. Excuse me? How could we
possibly have gotten to this point where Mike Gundy says
a couple of the right things. Hey, he's very lucky
(05:57):
that no one was killed, very very lucky that no
one was killed, and he needs to face the music.
But what music answering a couple of hard questions. That's it.
That's the music paying your own legal fees, That's that's
the music. I just I can't even begin to comprehend
(06:18):
the conversation that Mike Gundy had to have today with
Chad Weiberg's athletic director where doctor Schrum his president over
what he said. I'm just that one blows my mind
that his punishment is going to be facing the music,
(06:40):
but not extra conditioning or running in the Oklahoma heat
and not and not you know, going into a community
service with mothers against drunk driving, or not taking away
the keys to his car. He makes a decision that
(07:01):
he probably shouldn't have made. No, he made a decision
that could have taken his in other people's lives and
taken the power of somebody his powerful decision can cost.
Did anyone see the car accident? What was the Minnesota
Vikings football player that was killed with two other football
players over the way again? Tyree Jackson, Kyrie Jackson? Have
(07:24):
you seen his car? His car was completely and totally annihilated.
No one survives it, and reportedly alcohol played a factor.
I just look. I've been hit by a drunk driver before.
(07:46):
Guy blew a point two four and nearly ended me
on the West Side Highway in New York. But I'm
not too close to this one. I do understand. I've
had a couple of years and got behind the wheel
of a car and not felt good about it. I
would never say I've done it a thousand times, and
I haven't done it as an adult because I've grown
(08:07):
up and I'm matured, and I understand that. While that
doesn't mean it should be a death sentence to Ali
Gordon's career. The idea that the highest paid member of
a state institution, the winning his football coach of all time,
says that he's done it a thousand times and the
punishment should be handing him the ball fifty times in
(08:29):
the opening game is so remarkably obtuse to how it
comes across. It is mind blowing. And I'm look, I'm
sure Michael hear this, and maybe he'll be upset with it.
Maybe he won't. I know they've released a statement which
(08:52):
is on social media about what I meant to say.
It doesn't matter. Nobody goes back to the what you
meant to say was, and even in what he meant
to say, what he's doing is all that matters, which
is nothing. What are we doing? Yes, he makes a
(09:15):
lot of money to play football, and so the two
things that should happen when you have a dui is
one you get some of the money back, and two
you don't get to play football. As much. Well, you know,
if I spend one game it doesn't do anything. I
suspend him six games maybe, But then that's unfair to
the rest of the team, is it, Yeah, I know
it is. I know it's unfair to the rest of
the team. But that's what Ali Gordon did. He did
(09:38):
something incredibly selfish and there needs to be a punishment
for it. Otherwise why not do it again? Well, next time,
we're gonna be really serious about it, like really, And
I understand there's an embarrassment to it. There's the legal fees.
Nobody's technically harmed. But to who much is given, more
is expected, and this is not raised. This is this
(10:04):
is not what anybody would expect a response to be
from a decorated, crazy, successful Division one men's head football coach.
And I do believe that Mike is about the right things.
I love the honesty with which he shares things. But
this is if that's honesty, then dude, honestly, over a
(10:25):
thousand times, and I don't think he read the chart correctly,
but regards which if over a thousand times, and I
think that's an embellishment You've gotten behind the wheel of
a car having drank potentially too much like I don't.
I don't even know how to like how you would
handle that? I don't. Does it hit you differently? Jason Stewart?
(10:49):
Am I my missing something?
Speaker 4 (10:50):
Am I?
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Am?
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I being to buy the book? That my miss? How
does it land on you?
Speaker 5 (11:02):
That's my question to answer your first question. You're not
missing anything. I think everything that you just said is
absolutely true, and you're speaking from a point where you
could relate most of anyone in this room. You're in
a different position now, you represent your university and you're
a leader of young men. Public comments should be much
(11:25):
more filtered. I guess you could appreciate the honesty, but
this is like if I sat down with Mike Gundy
at a bar after a couple of Budweisers. That's probably
what he would tell me. But that's not a great
barometer for how you should answer questions at media days
when your conference is being in the spotlight for a day.
So I thought it was pretty damn stupid.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
I just that one holy cow, And just so people
are aware, I do not have rules, like written down
rules with with with my team. The the rules that
we do have is if you've had too much to drink. Okay,
(12:13):
you are to call me, text me. There's a group
chat with any other player. We have the managers as well,
and if it gets to me, gets to me, I
will come pick you up wherever you are and drop
you off where you need to go, no questions asked.
But if you get behind the wheel that car, okay,
(12:35):
I lose all sorts of power because I can't change
what the police will do. I can't get involved in
a police thing. And I have no time for people
who committed to you why And I say the same
thing about it. If you smoke, it's I legal in
the state of Wisconsin. If you get behind the wheel
of a car and you're smoking, you get behind the
wheel of a car. Or And I've also said if
(12:55):
there's if there's any sort of beef between you and
a woman, you are you get a way and if
you need me to pick you up, I will pick
you up, no questions asked, no judgment. But you are
not to get behind the wheel of a car if
you've been drinking or smoking. So I just that's one
(13:17):
where I know there's going to be a percentage of
people who are like finally, a coach who's honest, But like,
if that's your if that's your reality, that thousands a
thousand times you've gotten behind the wheel of a car
having four or five beers in an hour, three to
four beers in an hour, that's a really scary thought.
(13:39):
Even if it is true, it's not to be said,
and it shouldn't be true because that's a lot of times.
That's a lot of times you've made a bad decision.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Yes, Chris Purfett, I think that that point you just
made there is the most salient. I was talking with
a friend about this lately, and for those and you
don't know this, Doug, but there is a back at
the middle school I went to. There is a bench
there with my ants, with my form, with my past
ant's name on it, who died in high school because
of a car accident. That we just I think sometimes,
(14:11):
especially thinking about you know, you see someone cutting you
off or weaving through doing ninety or in DUI, like,
we don't have respect for the power at our hands
that an add a automotive vehicle gives you. You are
piloting tons of metal flying at inhuman speeds, speeds that
are not natural in the world out there, And I
(14:32):
think in our country we just have no respect for
the power that's in our hands, or that we don't
think of anyone but ourselves on that road which we
share out there at the end of the day. And
I think when you start talking about DUI, that is
the ultimate sign of disrespect for that power at your hands.
It's just it's really sad to hear these comments. It
(14:53):
just does not seem to again, reckon with the fact
that you have the power to just kill multiple people
with this vehicle. Even Stone sober.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Right, But I mean, again, the bigger point is you're
not just making a bad decision for yourself. You're making
a bad decision for people you don't know, you haven't
come into contact with. And you know what I mean, Like,
I just I cannot fathom the response is one hundred
and eighty degrees in the wrong direction of anyone who
(15:28):
has any sort of pulse of what the response should be.
And I can and like, look, here's how friendship works
with me, is I can't be friends with you if
I can't share that that response is way off. And
again doesn't mean that Mike, I wouldn't consider my gun
to your friend, and I wouldn't stand up for him
(15:50):
and say he's done, you know, a thousand amazing things
since he's been the head coach at Oklahoma State, including
turnaround the team last year and do it his way,
and he's about the right things. But this is wrong.
I mean a day in which Brett yor Mark had
(16:12):
some awesome comments and really amazing what the Big twelve
has done off of Death's door, and the only thing
anybody's talking about really is Mike Gundy saying, yeah, yeah,
I've basically I've got behind the wheel with too much
to drink a thousand times. And yeah, my punishment for
Ali Gordon at getting a dui the best running back
(16:33):
in the country is I'm going to hand the ball
fifty times maybe in the opening game. Yikes, what year
is this? What country are we in? These are not
things to be celebrated.
Speaker 7 (16:51):
This is the best of the Done dot Leap Show
on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Why would you know about leaps? You know? Fox Sports
Radio Coming to here from the tirect dot Com studios
tyrect dot com. What we get there? Unmatched election, fast
free shipping, free road has a protection over ten thousand
recommendings dollars. Tyrect dot Com. The way tire buying should
be welcome in it's a Wednesday, it's the middle of
the week. Although it's really weird. I look, Jason, I
(17:20):
agree with you on this one thing. And every time
somebody says it, like, I go crazy now because Jason's like,
is it July already? I can't believe it's almost August?
August right? Like people Jason loves that we hates it,
but he we love that we were late on that level.
(17:40):
On the other hand, I would say that it's not
because it's you know, we're in the second week of
July because a holiday fell in the middle of the week,
Like what day it is I have? It takes you
so long to adjust? Is anybody else like that right
where if holiday falls in so in the middle of
the week, and last time was a third which is
kind of a money day to have a holiday, because
(18:02):
then you get the next day off and then you
have a super long weekend. A lot of people were
out since like the second of July. Now they're just
kind of getting back in. But trying to figure out
what day of the week it is when you had
additional weekdays off is one of the most confusing things
to mankind. Maybe I'm the only one. I'm confused. So
(18:23):
today is a Wednesday. A Wednesday is a hump day.
A hump day is also the midway point of the week.
This is also the midway point of our show. Reminder,
the podcast hour is after this show, available wherever you
download podcasts. Let's get to midway. It's not getting.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
It's time for the midway, all.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Right, here's the midway. Okay, midway, Okay, the midway is.
This is the midway point of the sports calendar. Right,
we can do it to start it's over, you know,
or we could just say this is the halfway point.
So anything sports wise that from jan one to now
(19:09):
is first half. Anything from now until the Sember three
first is second half. We'll do favorite. Let's do favorite
moment of the first half of the sports year.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Can I? Can I make an abridgment to that? Because sure,
are we all agree?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Is a junior bridgement? Uh yeah, sorry about the way
you gotta know the NBA trivia Go ahead.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Bab Oheata bridge abridgement.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Bob Ohhita Babohata was awesome And.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Basically if you google that, you'll you're gonna laugh after
you google it. Okay, So let's see.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Can we start right after the super Bowl, like the
Monday after the super Bowl? Because to me, the sports
calendar year ends with the super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Correct, I thought it ended with I thought it ends.
I mean I thought it ends with the with July
or that's the midway point. So that's the like the
half point. So once you go back six months, which
should be January one.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
Yeah, no, no, if you if you're being winnier and technical,
you're right. I'm just saying that the sports calendar.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
You one after after football, after stuff everybody cares about,
for the stuff that only we care about.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
I want to care about football. Please.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
Well, sounds like you guys have waded in, So we'll
do January first to uh to up to today.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Because no, it's just two one right now.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I actually thought it was going to be from January
until July.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
I did.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I made so it sounds like Profet really wants to
talk about his football team.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
So you go first, you go first?
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh okay, so the disaster of the decision making by
your coach, I guess is that your favorite moment?
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Now, I'll take everything that happened right up until that moment.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Sure, nice.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Yeah, that's not the way it works.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
But okay, no, but I get to enjoy the moment
in that history, considering that my team hadn't had a
playoff win since now you're a.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Half full, like, not that they gave away a chance
to beat the Niners on the road.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
No, it sucks. That sucks, But everything else leading up
to that moment is cool. And I don't think that
because something bad happens later on that it immediately annihilates
every good thing I felt in the preceding weekends.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I don't.
Speaker 6 (21:20):
I if you wanted to call me half full on that,
then sure, I don't think that's a bad thing to
be half full.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I don't, I really do not.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Can I can? I? Can I get share an event
in a moment that I think we all thoroughly enjoyed?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Okay, do you guys remember the feeling of watching the
Packers go into halftime with a game essentially in hand
against the Cowboys?
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Yep?
Speaker 9 (21:45):
How much fun was that?
Speaker 1 (21:47):
How much fun was that? And by the way, the
Packers defense was not good last year, so much so
they let the defensive coordinator go right like this was
not a good defense. They had two pick sixes. The
game felt over was over at the half, and that's
I mean, we're just sports is about joy as much
as anything. You know, joy in moments, and I just
(22:08):
remember I was in a Buffalo Wild Wings with my
son and they go to half and he turns me,
He's like, is this thing over it? I was like, yes,
it is. He's like at halftime. I was like, yeah,
I kind of think the Packers are going to play
it smart and this thing is like over over. It's like,
holy cow, and I was. It was just and everybody's cackling.
(22:28):
It was a really enjoyable moment. So I don't know
if that's the best moment, but that's the most enjoyable
moment I could think of.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
That That is a good one.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Because I agree with you, Doug.
Speaker 8 (22:36):
I think a lot of people would agree with you
that that was a good moment just in sports, unless
you were a Cowboys phone then it wasn't a good
one for you.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
You guys aren't going to agree with me.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
But I really liked everything that was going on with
the Chiefs, like them winning, Travis and Taylor Swift, like
all of that, especially because I believed in the true love. Well,
none of you did and the true love still going.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
So in the first half of the year.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
That's I'm like, I'm still I'm still like, man, I'm
happy the Chiefs one. I'm happy that Travis and Taylor
are still together.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
Yeah, I'm for that, maybe because it's because I work
weekends with Monsey and I know you, me and rich
rich Ornberger have had these conversations where we just all
get gassed up because we know it annoys guys like
Steve Hartman out there. Oh yeah, like it annoys the
older gentleman out there. That it just there was enjoyment
with that and that I had never gotten off the
(23:38):
Chiefs train. I still find them likable. I don't think
they've had that Patriots turn with them yet. And that
Super Bowl, I felt like I did not like the
first half that Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I was kind of getting bored.
Speaker 6 (23:47):
But that second half and going to overtime and everything
else that was that was a perfect way to end
that football season.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:55):
Once again, it's it's why I kind of fought to
keep everything from the football season here because.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
That's my sport.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
I enjoy the NFL, I really do, and I'm spoiling
a bit, but I'm looking forward most of the NFL
season coming up.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Here, Jay s dou any other moment ons you want
to share?
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, I have one.
Speaker 5 (24:14):
I gave Mance a chance to select us and she didn't,
So I'm just gonna take it and run.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Okay, go for it.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
Now.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
I was gonna say, Kitlin Clark, Now this is obvious,
Kaitlyn Clark is wonderful. But there was a specific moment
in time, and by moment, I mean like three or
four days where Kaitlyn Clark won the Final Four, yes, okay,
and then in the time between the she won in
the Final Four against LSU maybe okay, and then she
(24:40):
had to play South Carolina for the championship game. And
in that time, the space was filled with this amazing
culture war like literally, And I tell people this that
the O. J. Simpson verdict was most fascinating to me
when they would show the videos of how people of
color reacted to the verdict and how people of white
(25:03):
people reacted to the verdict, and it was diametrically opposite.
The time between Kaylyn Clark winning the Final Four and
South Carolina. You were rooting for Caitlin Clark because you
were white and racist, and you were rooting against her
because you weren't white, and that was the culture war
on Twitter, and it was fascinating to me that this
(25:23):
amazing player doing amazing things was put in the middle
of that conversation. And then the first quarter of the
game against South Carolina was one of the most fun
quarters of basketball I've ever seen in my life watching
any level of sport, the way that she just lit
up the scoreboard and couldn't sustain obviously, but the first
(25:45):
quarter of that game against South Carolina was unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Quarter mid my favorite moment.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
I have some others that I'd like to share, please.
I mean, I think Kansas City beating Buffalo. I'm just
the idea. Like I I'm not sure I feel sympathy
for Buffalo, but there's a little bit of sympathy for
Buffalo because they were thirteen seconds away a couple of
years ago from beating them, and now it feels like
they're never going to beat him, doesn't it.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
But it feel like they have the misfortune of having
this great team, this great coach, this great quarterback, and
also existing at the same times that Patrick Mahomes and
Andy Reid exist together.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yes, yes, NBA wise, we do. There's so many different
parts of it we do forget that were really really amazing.
I thought, you know, I remember I was at game
one of Oklahoma City Dallas, and the next day I
(26:48):
went onto Oklahoma City Radio and I said to my
good friend Mark Rodgers, like, I think there's a path
there for the Mavericks to win this thing in five
or six. And he was just like, oh, way, that
game was a mismatchist, Like, eh, I don't know, there's
a couple of things that are missing with the okom
City Thunder and watching that, watching it happen, and I
(27:13):
did pick Mavericks and six and the end up winning
in six. But watching game two and watching Luca and
some of the things that he did, like I just
was my jaw was dropped to the floor, to the
floor at how he can control a game, so really
really amazing.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
I think one of the more fascinating things this is
maybe getting closer to present day, but and I know
it probably caused Lakers fans a lot of pain, but
that whole week of Dan Hurley news.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Was fascinating to me.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
It was fascinating in the sense that everyone felt like
there was no I think I was with you, Doug,
and I think I said that I thought Dan Hurley
was going to go back to Yukon. But there was
a lot of people who felt very, very sure that
it's the Lakers, It's Los Angeles. How can you turn
this down at all? And that entire blitz just and
the fallout that has been for the Lakers is very
(28:07):
still very fascinating to me.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
I agree, it's it feels like a.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Turning point in how we treat the Lakers organization that
it went from like you can't say no to the
Lakers to what is going on.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Saying no to the Lakers. Good one, Chris, because I agree. Yeah,
I forgot my favorite moment of the ring. You guys,
remember what my favorite moment ring was?
Speaker 9 (28:30):
What's getting your new job?
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
I mean it's not really a sports moment.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Yes, it is.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
What we're talking about sport played.
Speaker 9 (28:41):
No, that's a moment.
Speaker 8 (28:42):
That is a moment.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Yes, I can't believe.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
You should have heard Monsey and Dan were filling in
for you last week and we took a call from
Green Bay from Mason and he actually said his favorite
sports moment of the year was was Doug Gottlieb getting
hired at Green Bay.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
That's it was a pretty amazing call.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
So air check though, but by Mason was that you
you're really quick.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
You're like Detective Sherlock combs her.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Yeah, okay, that's that's about No, it's I mean, I'm
a just I have some vivid memories, like I'm sitting
here right now in my office and just remembering like
all of the things that are going through my mind,
and it's a little bit out of body experience, but
(29:34):
an incredible experience. And then when I got done with
that day, I was like, I need like fifteen minutes.
I walked outside. It was like eighty degrees and I
literally laid on the grass and just like kind of
like soaked it in. You ever heard you every guy's
ever done grounding?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
No?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
You never grounded?
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Is that like Anon Rogers saying, not electrical grounding a help?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
No? No, No, grounding is a midway. There's like a
healing power to grounding. None of you guys ever done it.
Now called earth thing, you can call it earth thing
as well.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Is this an Aaron Rodgers thing?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
It is a little bit of an Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 5 (30:18):
The term barefoot in hiking like people, Yeah, hike barefoot?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Is that the same.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Sort of it's you know, it's more for functionality. It's
supposed to bring like it's supposed to bring kind of
like a balance to you personally.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Are you walking barefoot?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
It was a therapeutic technique that involves doing activities that
ground and electrically reconnect you to the earth. Okay, it's
a little it could be a little hokey to people,
but there's actually an alkalinity to it. There's there's scientific
data to it. Anyway. So I've done that a lot
where I just like take off your socks and shoes
(31:03):
and just kind of walk and be and kind of
feel there. Anyway, I literally just laid down and just
kind of was one and I was like, this is
this is literally the most amazing kind of twenty four
to forty eight hours of my life. Yeah, it was
very much, very different. That's my favorite one.
Speaker 7 (31:20):
The midword. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk
lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at
foxsportsradio dot com and within the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 1 (31:33):
Doug Gollip Show Fox Sports Radio coming to you from
the tyreg dot Com studios. You know, Olden Paul, and
he's going to join us. A matter of fact, let's
have old join us now, oh B joins his son.
The Doug Gollip shows up Fox Sports Radio NBA analysts,
you play fifteen years in the NBA, OP, thanks so
much for joining us. I got a lot of things
(31:54):
I want to get to with you. I want to
play for you though. This is Chris Paul, and this
is why he said he chose to join the Spurs
this offseason.
Speaker 10 (32:05):
There's probably no player in the league that everybody in
the league talks about after the game like him, because
everybody has their justuff. Me and Harrison was on our
flight yesterday just talking about how cool it's going to
be at this point in our career is to get
a chance to appreciate him day in and day out.
My family is everything. My wife is here, my kids
are back in LA and that's where they will be
(32:26):
during the season. And I love basketball so much that
I could be close to home. But if I'm not playing,
I'm not happy.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
OPI what do you think of Chris Paul saying, Hey, one,
I just I want to appreciate wenbya up close but two,
I'm really playing because I'm not happy when I'm not black.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I mean, it's different, you know, it's different than the
normal you know, take that athletes have. You know, I'm
trying to get the championship, which is an ultimate goal
and so obvious. Of course you want to winampionship, but
I kind of like it because it is refreshing. He's
being honest, Hey, I want to play, and so I mean,
but you've been playing for almost what seventeen eighteen years now?
(33:10):
So I got much more playing do you want? I
would think that at this point in your career, like
to go out winning a championship would be paramount, But
apparently it's not for him. So whatever happened with the Warriors.
But again, it's not so much teams and everything else.
It's Chris Paul and his body. You know, that's been
the problem. It's like you could set your watch to
(33:34):
when Chris Paul is going to get hurt during the season,
no question.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
And you know the problem is he can't start on
a championship team, right, So he's just not good enough
at this point his crew to start a championship or
maybe he thinks that Wemby's ability to defend the rim
can help him with that. I'm not sure. Let's go
through a bunch of things. Well, what's your reaction to
(33:59):
Klay Thompson shall the Lakers and sign with the Mavericks.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
I like it. I like it for the Mavericks. I
like it for Clay. You know, he made I watched
his press conference. He made a very interesting comment yesterday.
You know, I saw how they got along and while
he was watching the Mavericks play, and that spoke volumes
to me. I think something definitely happened. You know, we're
(34:24):
all going to say stuff for the media and everything else,
say all the right things, but I do believe, you know,
at times when you're speaking, some shoots will come out.
And I think there was a point in time doing
last season, maybe the last couple of seasons, where things
changed dramatically and he saw the writing on the wall
and he made a decision. He made a business decision,
(34:46):
And I don't think he wanted to go with the Lakers,
because it's a no win situation for somebody like a
Clay Thompson. If they win, it's because of Lebron, If
they lose it somebody else. I don't think he wanted
to deal.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
With that, what's your thoughts on how the Lakers fandled
the whole Brounny thing.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Oh man, that's a great question, and I know that's been,
you know, one of the subjects of the summer. I
personally think, Okay, the best way to put is it.
Lebron is very powerful, he uses power. Rich Paul is
very powerful, he uses his power. I get all that,
but I think they've set a precedent and it's not
(35:28):
good for the game because we don't get four year
contracts and guaranteed deals for a second round picks, especially
at number fifty five. That just doesn't happen. So now
you change the game again. It is what it is.
You know, if you have that kind of juice and
you want to use it, more power to you. But
(35:49):
his teammate, Bogie ellis deserved to be drafted before him,
and nothing against the young man. I think he's going
to be a fine player one day, but it's not today.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah. I mean, do you think that causes players to
not want to play with Lebron?
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Of course it does, and that's what's been happening. We
saw again with Clay Claire that would have been a
perparticular that's the team you grew up liking, and you
have a chance to go there. But he saw again
what the Lakers need more than anything else. It's outside
shooting consistently, and that's something that Clay has built a
legacy on. And to me, he saw it for what
(36:28):
it was. He saw every little thing about it, and
it's a It was a bad move, you know, technically,
but again I understand how it happened, but it was
from a basketball se that was just pure basketball. It
was whack.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Yeah. Yeah, I can't. I can't say I disagree with you.
Doug Gottlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio Olden Paul
Andy is our guess, he's our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider. Okay,
Paul George leaves the Clippers first. The Clippers started low,
ended up at three from one tifty. Paul George leaves
and goes to the Sixers. What are your thoughts on
first the Clippers and how they handle things well?
Speaker 4 (37:08):
And Paul Jones made the comment, you know, he felt disrespected.
But again I'll say this, Doug, I wish I could
be disrespected with some of these contract offers. These guys
are being feeling disrespected about so but again the Clippers
in the grand scheme of things, because you gave James
Harden a better deal than Paul George. And so I
(37:32):
get all of that, and what you were offering. The
man's asking one extra year, you know, if you really
respect and give it to him. But again, I know
the new NBA and the new collective bogaining with the
first apron and the second apron. I get all that.
But if you really wanted that man, you know, you
would have found a way to do it. And so
to me, him going to Philadelphia is a great move
(37:54):
for him because they need somebody like Paul George. Now, again,
if they're gonna play most of the season, you hope.
But if he stays healthy and with other additions, Man, Philadelphia,
to me, I don't care about Boston winning the championship.
Philadelphia is going to be the team to be.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Philadelphia is a going to be. What about Boston? Jason
Tatum said, Hey, they've ended all debates, have they? Like,
have we answered all the questions about Datum?
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Hey man, Jason saying a great young player, but there
was no debate. There's still no debate. I mean, that's
like when one championship doesn't mean anything. You know, you
stabbed one puzzle, but there's multiple puzzles. They're still going
to be debate, you know, about your game or anything else.
(38:45):
So it's his way of trying to say, you know
what I've done with you guys have criticized me about
I wasn't able to win the championship. Okay, fine, but
there's other things involved. I mean, where do you want
your legacy to be? So again, these guys, all these
guys are just really you know, they're very weak. You know,
(39:06):
the mindset is like they affected by every comment, every critique,
you know, and they got to respond and have I dude,
play basketball, play your game. You guys want to enjoy it,
but don't worry about criticism.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
Olden Baldny's join us here, Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Okay,
so we talked Celtics, We've talked Sixers, We've talked a
little Mavericks. What are the Nuggets do right? The Nuggets
Sauce Bruce Brown. Last year, this year, Contavious Colwell, Pope.
The bench has not been the same, and now a
sudden the starting lineup's not can be the same. You're
(39:42):
the Nuggets.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
What do they look like, Well, they're looking like what
they did before they won the championship. I mean now
and after a while, teams starts figuring things out. And
I'm not saying you can stop Nicolo O, Jamal Murray,
but they were things that happened like that in Minnesota.
The series told us a lot energy is gonna beat Minnesota.
(40:04):
Hard work, I mean will beat Denver. And that's what
Minnesota had. They had an influx of hard work and
determination and they were just like coming at you full
steam ahead, a young superstar and Anthony Edwards, you know,
his confidence level was so high, and I don't think
Denver really recovered from the first couple of punches early on.
(40:29):
And so to me, it's just a situation where no
matter what Denver that does now, teams will be able
to figure it out, like let's stop Jamal Murray, Let's
stopped Jokis and everybody else we don't care about because
Michael Porter, you don't know which one. And granted he's
had a lot of stuff to deal with off the court,
no fault of his own, but he's dealt with a
ton of stuff and he didn't show up for the playoffs.
(40:54):
I mean, there's a couple of games. If he just
knocks down one or two shots, Denver wins. And so
to me, those are the issues for the Denver Nuggets
getting consistent play. Aaron Gordon plays one great game, one
four pointer, and so it's one of those things. You know,
those are the issues for the Nuggets, and so they're
going to have to resolve those situations.
Speaker 1 (41:16):
Olden, you're the best man. I love the honesty with
your commentary and the thought you put into it. Love
having you on. Thanks so much for being our guests.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
That's our gyp On Polonies, longtime NBA vet giving us
his thoughts. He's our Fox Sports Radio NBA insider. Here's
Moncey Bolanos for the quick update. MONSI, Hi, Doug, how
are you hello? I'm well.
Speaker 8 (41:37):
I have a question for you, so if you can
help me out, if you have maybe a secret plan
for me to move forward, because I am having plantar
fasciitis like I've never had it before. And since you
play your coach, do you have a secret weapon to
fix my foot plant fasciitis.
Speaker 1 (41:56):
Yes, I've heard the only way to fix that one,
there's like two ways. One a ton of rest or
to have a complete tear of it, and then you
have then you have to have it repaired. Then it's better.
I don't just hur's a really painful one. Is there
a deal where you maybe somebody else who's had this
can text us or put it on igh You take
(42:18):
like a water bottle and you like rub your foot
and roll your foot in a water bottle and strengthens it.
I don't know a water bottle, Jason water bottle.
Speaker 3 (42:26):
Well, the water bottle with the ice.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
I guess what would uh that kind of helps with
the swollen.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
I don't feel like it's swollen.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
So what happened is uh, I went to the doctor
and he said, what would really help is that you
lose thirty pounds perfect And I did that, But I
don't think that's your issue.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Thirty pounds.
Speaker 3 (42:45):
Bathing with epsom salt.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
Salt work. Some salt hold on epsom salts work.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
They're fantastic.
Speaker 1 (42:53):
Yes, does it actually work or is it like a
is it like a mental thing?
Speaker 6 (42:59):
No, it is absolute. I use not not plant or
fasciatis for something else. I use like a combination of ebbs,
salts and witch hazel and it's I feel completely different
after getting out of the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
All right, have you guys, this is a complete side note.
Have you ever tried like a weed bath bomb, like
a THHD infused salts?
Speaker 3 (43:20):
I have not.
Speaker 1 (43:23):
It's amazing.
Speaker 9 (43:24):
Huh okay, interesting, yeah, okay, see the good Thanks guys,
Gonna try both of these.
Speaker 3 (43:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
No, I've not gotten behind the wheel of a car,
nor have I done it a thousand times, and I've
only done in states in which it's legal and there's
no ingesting of it at all. Right, No, that sounds great.
Simply in the salts and then like your your muscles
like relax.
Speaker 9 (43:43):
Oh okay, okay, thank you, Seana.
Speaker 3 (43:45):
I was asking the right people.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
I don't know if I told you. I didn't tell you
anything about about planner fasciatis. I told you to your
rub your foot around.
Speaker 3 (43:51):
I know I'm gonna do all this water bottle.
Speaker 9 (43:53):
I wanted something different because I have a spiky ball
and it hasn't helped. So I just wanted to see
if there was something out there that wasn't like the
normal you know, use a ball, use a golf ball.
That's what I was trying to but I got good ideas,
so thank you fellas.
