All right, this is the Doug Gottlieb Show. Here's in
the Bonus with Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Doug Gottlieb Show. In the Bonus Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hey, welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh, how are you? What's going on? How's your day?
This is the Doug Gottlieb Show. It's Fox Sports Radio,
iHeartRadio App.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Welcome in.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Let's get through the Fox says and now every day
of this time and the Doug Gottlieb Show in the
Bonus podcast play for your portion of previous show Fox
Sports Radio, Fox Sports One. Here's Colin Cowhard making this
interesting comparison.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
You know what Aaron Rodgers has become what I compared
him to the last four years, He's become Kevin Durant.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Think about it.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Both left incredibly stable organizations, Green Bay and Golden State.
All they do is win. They got into their feelings,
a little bit of ego. They wanted to play with
their buddies. So they go to unstable places, the Jets
in Brooklyn, and it's a mess. Very quickly. They stoke
flames with the media. Can't trust the media, hot take people, clickbait.
(01:19):
Can't I do my own homework both if I mentioned
this for years, they're both single guys, rich single guys
that get older, nobody at home to hold them accountable,
you know, you know what it is, kind of doing
their own thing whatever they feel like, surround themselves with
people who agree with them. And now both the great
Kevin Durant and he's great, and the formerly great Aaron Rodgers,
(01:43):
he was great, have been reduced to crossing their fingers
hoping they can latch on to a team that can
make the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Uh yeah, I like that one. That's a terrible analogy.
It's actually pretty good right to where they turn into
sort of yeah, like I think in Kevin Durant's mind
and in Aaron Rodgers mind, they've reached the point of
I just.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
Don't give a flying fuck.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
And to people who don't know them, it appears to
be kind of a bitter athlete at the end.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
You know, we're like, it's a weird stage.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
My grandma Edna Burdenstein, Hey, my grandma ed Da when
I was really little, like, she was very nice, right,
she was hardcore disciplinarian like she just we didn't like
Grandma ed nothing she was she was, she was tough,
it's kind of mean. And then I remember when I
(02:54):
was in college, my girlfriend and I end up becoming
my We went and we went and spent like a
weekend in New York and Connecticut, and we went and
like had I don't know if they had coffee with her.
We went and spent the day with my grandma, and
she was so sweet at the end, right, she was
(03:14):
so incredibly sweet, And I just remember that, like, that
wasn't their grandma.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
I remember growing up, and I think a lot of.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Old people that way, where they they get to this
point to where they're like so old, Well, they get
to there's one point to where they're old and they
don't love how young people are and annoys them and
they're snippy, and then once they get towards the end,
then they're like, yeah, you know, I'm gonna die soon,
I might as well be nice to everybody. Athletes, I
(03:45):
think that's kind of what happens in some level was
guys as their own skills start to fade and there's
the younger generation come in, they go through this kind
of bitter stage and then when they when they retire,
after they spend a little time away from it, then
they soften. They soften greatly, and I think that's where
(04:07):
Kevin Durant and Aaron Rodgers are.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
I just do. It's not a bat analogy. Pretty good back.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
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 5 (04:23):
Here's Dan Patrick talking about the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting too good for shows networks
to avoid them.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
I mean, that's how good they've gotten.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Because I can guarantee you Mothership and Fox and anybody
else is going They want again, they want again. They're
fifty five and ten. That's tied for the fifth best
record through sixty five games in NBA history. You have
to cover them now. Not exciting. I watch them. They're
(04:57):
a really good team. They're a balanced team. I mean,
that's not the kind of thing where you go, hey, tonight,
the Cavaliers. All right, Hey, tune in for teamwork tonight.
Watch the Cavaliers play both ends of the floor tonight
on TNT. And please don't do this, Please, if you're
(05:19):
an analyst at a network on a radio show, don't
say the following, Yeah, but what are they going to
do in the postseason? This is about the regular season.
If that's the case, do we go, Yeah, Shay Gilge's MVP,
but what's he gonna do in the postseason?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Again, I think that No, the Cavs aren't sexy, They're
just not. But the potential storyline is there, right, Like,
I'm good with Lebron not making the NBA Finals, Like,
it's not gonna I'm not gonna watch or not watch
pa Lebron. But if Lebron versus the Calves, well, I
(06:04):
don't think anybody in the world would watch. Like, how
long does it take to fix your roster once you
leave Lebron would lose Lebron, Well, it took Miami. However
many years they got to the NBA Finals with Jimmy Butler.
Was that two years ago?
Speaker 5 (06:17):
Right?
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And for Cleveland, I would love to see the tracking
in years. It's kind of interesting. That's the only part
that's interesting about Cleveland. And I think you know, then
you got Kenny Atkins as their coach, right, Like, here's
a guy who was widely regarded as an outstanding coach
when Brooklyn was supposed to be bad and they were
young and fun, and then they replaced him once they
(06:38):
got KD and Kyrie Irving. Now he gets a chance
for a better roster, and look at how good he's
been Cleveland. But I'm here for the Lebron versus Cleveland matchup.
I think everybody kind of is right. Here's Rob Parker
talking about Tiger Woods.
Speaker 7 (06:55):
Tiger wants to retire enough already, Stop it. I mean,
come on, the last time Tiger Woods was good and
playing golf out of his mind, sports writers were using typewriters.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's been a long time.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
You got kids in college now who don't remember the
great Tiger. I was on my I was married, I
was on my honeymoon when he was winning the Masters
for the first time. He cost me my marriage. Tiger Woods,
I can't even say. It's a shell of himself. He's
a broken shell of himself. It's disheartening to hear the
(07:38):
news over and over and over Tigers banged up, Tigers heard,
Tiger's injured. I'm dead serious. You're not gonna catch the
record for the most majors.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
That's done. It ain't happening. You can sit here and
try to pretend. Yeah, I took got a chance. I
just need to win. I don't know how many is
it four more to past? Jag Id just need for no.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, I mean after the car crash. I thought he
was done then, but his body has just said no moths.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It is crazy that he'll be the first guy ever
to retire and not be able to play golf. Right,
most people retire to play golf, but there is something
about the indelible spirit of Hey, I just want to
come back and give it one more good run.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
But in.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Rob's right, But I do think this is one in
which I know that's always his kind of tone and
always his way of expressing things. I do think this
is one in which you almost need to have like
a different kind of quieter, more somber tone. You know,
we're all getting older, and Tiger Wood's body just kind
of broken down on him, and it'll definitely never be
(08:53):
competitive again in professional golf.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
That's what the Fox Says.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
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 5 (09:10):
Let's find out who are what is annoying Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And now it's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Your annoying.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
Hey, Doug. Stephen A Smith v. Lebron James is still
a thing, and the reason why it's still a thing
is because stephen A. Smith keeps saying yes to podcasts
and for some odd reason, keeps saying different things about
that exchange last week. I think we're going on a
week now since Lebron James shouted down Steven A in
the middle of a Lakers game. He went on the
(09:46):
Gilbert Arenas podcast yesterday and basically just told the world
what we all knew that he said, keep my son,
you know, out of your mouth, or stop fucking with
my son. Stephen A is a lot of things. I
actually respect him now because he's trying to cross over.
I think he did gil Arenus yesterday, then did Chris Cuomo.
(10:07):
He's like he's everywhere. I will say this. He keeps
going back to this, and I think you and I
are locked up on this. He keeps going back to
this is the reason why we should take stephen A
sirius when he talks about anything including your son.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Unlike a whole bunch of people with their podcast and
beyond that, talk about the NBA I covered the NBA,
and it's my job to talk about the subjects and
the subject matters that matter.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I work for ESPN.
Speaker 10 (10:41):
We have the number one morning show for the last
thirteen years in counting. There's a lot that's going on,
and there's a lot of stories that are there to
be told, and I just feel it's necessary to remind people, Molly,
I was raised as a journalist.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Let's be very very clear about what that means.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
I'm not one of those that get into people's private affairs. Well,
what you do on a public platform for public consumption,
that's what I cover.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's what I do for a living.
Speaker 10 (11:09):
And when you are raised as a journalist professionally, you
don't want enemies, but you ain't paid to make friends.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You gotta call it like you see it.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
I think it's time for him to stop trying to
convince us that he's a journalist. He may have gone
to journalism school, but somewhere along the way he stopped
being a journalist and started being a provocateur. He started
being a guy who talks out of his ass, who
shit talks, who is entertainingly shit talking. ESPN gave him
(11:40):
the most money of any personality on TV and sports.
Not because he's a journalist. It's because there's something about
Stephen A. Smith that we give a shit what he says.
He's a provocateur, He exaggerates for a living. He often
talks out of his ass. You can't have a two
hour talk show every day and have an opinion about
every single thing.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
A knowledgeable opinion about everything.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yes, yes, yeah, that's that's the that's the I'm a
I'm a doctor. I'm a I'm a doctor, a doctor
like that's that's This is doctor Phil trying to convince
us that he actually isn't a doctor of psychiatry.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Right, what does he?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I forget what his doctor it's in. Yeah, trying to
convince this something you're not or something.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
It's something bizarre but whatever. But yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The the whole thing is remarkable, right, Like, well I
covered the NBA.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Congratulations. I don't know what that.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
What does that mean? I'm a journalist? Okay? Well you
nothing you do on first take or on your pot
whatever that is. Podcasting has maintains journalistic integrity. You talk
about rumors and speculation and then you have all these
takes and things like. That's not journalism. So yeah, you
(13:10):
kind of got to pick one or the other, and
you've made your selection and it's been really really profitable
for you and you're obviously good at it. But once
you make that selection, you know again, I don't. I
don't think anything he said was wrong.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I just don't. I think stephen A said the quiet
part out loud. I disagree with Rick Puker. Again.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You can say, well, you're not supposed to talk about
as a father like no, But that's that's the deal.
He's a dad whose son plays in the NBA and
he you know now, he made it happen, but he
wants his son to not be criticized or he wants
to not be criticized for his parenting, when again, to me,
the proper criticism be. Look, I think he obviously is
a good dad. You can be a good dad. You
(13:55):
can be a great dad and then be a complete
and utter pain in the fucking ass to anybody who's
trying to work with your son, coach your son, teach
your son, or or or evaluate your son. Get That's
why I that's why I related it to au AAU
basketball again and I I'm on this line too, like
(14:18):
It's hard for me because part of me wants to
wants to help, wants to understand, Like, I know my kid,
for example, I coached him more than anybody, So I
got to hand that over to somebody else and have
them coach him when they don't know him.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
On the other hand, I do.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Have to let the process like organically take take over
by itself. But you can be a real like let's
not get it twisted. Lebron James, in terms of the
things that he's supposed to do as a dad, he
does a great job of He supports his son. His
son has a passion for basketball. He helps him live
out his dreams like he and he obviously, like all
(14:54):
dads or most dads, my dad, he believes in his
son above any what anybodyody else on earth believes in
the son. These are all great things. There's no negatives there,
there's no but whatever. Now with that being said, there
is the balance of yeah, you can't use that and say, okay,
(15:15):
now my son or my approach with my son, nobody's
you're not allowed to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I find that to be I find that to be
uh yeah, preposterous preposters. Who else is.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
About everybody listening to this right now. If you're on
the treadmill, if you're in your car, if you are
if you just like to sit next at your work
desk and listen to the podcast, You're gonna be able
to relate to what I'm about to say. This is
both informative and entertaining. Yesterday, Iowa Sam tried to hit
us on a group text with some information, time sensitive information,
(15:55):
and there was some delay in the receiving of the
message because he has a mix of Apple and Android
users in the group text, and that kind of sparked
my thinking on this. I'm an Android guy. I've always
been an Android guy, have never owned an iPhone. I'm
wondering why Apple would go out of their way to
(16:16):
alienate potential consumers because I have a feel a bad
taste in my mouth about Apple, because they seem to
be trying to force me to convert to them. So
I went on Google and I found this information. This
is amazing, did you know, Doug. As of November of
twenty twenty four, so this research is almost it's very recent.
(16:38):
Android has a seventy one percent market share worldwide. Seven
to ten people worldwide have an Android iPhones have a
fifty six percent market share in the United States. In
the United States, so it led me to thinking, why
(16:58):
would you alienate seven tventy percent of the world by
making our videos blurry? By delaying text messages?
Speaker 11 (17:08):
It's stupid failure to send just incompatibility, but to both ways.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
It also got me to think of this Doug reading
these stats. Android is soccer and iPhones are the NFL.
iPhones have fifty six percent of the market in the US,
but they have a like a thirty percent market share worldwide.
So Apple is the NFL.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yes, yes, wait what.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
I love this? I love this topic.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, it's it's because you have an Android. You're trying
to tell me that androids are actually awesome and all
of us who own Apple products are not awesome. Is
that what you're trying to tell us?
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Not one bit. I'm saying that raw data tells me
that seventy percent of all phone users and the world
old or Android. So why would Apple alienate seventy of
the world? Apple?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
What do you mean? What do you mean alien by making.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
It difficult for iPhone users to have text and share data.
There's there's iPhone users.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
That's to make you want to get an Apple.
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Yes, but it's it's it's it's petty. We should all
be he we should all be agreeing and have a
data flowing at its top peak.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It's best.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I think this is a great on air radio.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I disagree, and.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
We're going to run a time. We might have to
put a pin in it, but it's it's excellent.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
What else are you annoyed by?
Speaker 9 (18:38):
That's it stephen A being a journalist and the Apple
Android pain in the ass.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Stephen A being a journalist continues to be other.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Why are we doing this?
Speaker 12 (18:54):
I do.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Because we can.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Doug Michael Malone is the head coach of the Denver Nuggets.
He's obviously very objective when it comes to the MVP vote.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
Obviously, Shay Gilgas Alexander is a great player, and if
he wins his first MVP, you know he's deserving of that.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
My thing is this, You know, if.
Speaker 12 (19:19):
You didn't know that Nicola won three MVPs, and I've
put player A and player B on paper, and you
had no idea that the guy who's averaging a triple double,
the guy who's top three in the three major statistical categories,
things that no one's ever done. He wins the MVP
ten times out of ten. And if you don't think so,
I think you guys are all full of shit.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
That's so good. That's so good.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Obviously you can use stats to support yourself, but it's
so so, so, so good, so good. Why can you
play for you because we can't.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
That's it for me. The most podcasts.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I got the radio show every day three to five
Eastern telp Tow Pacific, Fox Sports Radio, I Heartradio AP

(01:19):
Can't I do my own homework both if I mentioned

that get older, nobody at home to hold them accountable,
you know, you know what it is, kind of doing
their own thing whatever they feel like, surround themselves with

Kevin Durant and he's great, and the formerly great Aaron Rodgers,
(01:43):

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
It's been a long time.
Speaker 7 (07:14):
You got kids in college now who don't remember the
great Tiger. I was on my I was married, I
was on my honeymoon when he was winning the Masters
for the first time. He cost me my marriage. Tiger Woods,
I can't even say. It's a shell of himself. He's
a broken shell of himself. It's disheartening to hear the
(07:38):
news over and over and over Tigers banged up, Tigers heard,
Tiger's injured. I'm dead serious. You're not gonna catch the
record for the most majors.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
That's done. It ain't happening. You can sit here and
try to pretend. Yeah, I took got a chance. I
just need to win. I don't know how many is
it four more to past? Jag Id just need for no.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
Yeah, I mean after the car crash. I thought he
was done then, but his body has just said no moths.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
It is crazy that he'll be the first guy ever
to retire and not be able to play golf. Right,
most people retire to play golf, but there is something
about the indelible spirit of Hey, I just want to
come back and give it one more good run.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
But in.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Rob's right, But I do think this is one in
which I know that's always his kind of tone and
always his way of expressing things. I do think this
is one in which you almost need to have like
a different kind of quieter, more somber tone. You know,
we're all getting older, and Tiger Wood's body just kind
of broken down on him, and it'll definitely never be
(08:53):
competitive again in professional golf.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
That's what the Fox Says.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
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 5 (09:10):
Let's find out who are what is annoying Jason Stewart.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
And now it's.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
Your annoying.
Speaker 9 (09:23):
Hey, Doug. Stephen A Smith v. Lebron James is still
a thing, and the reason why it's still a thing
is because stephen A. Smith keeps saying yes to podcasts
and for some odd reason, keeps saying different things about
that exchange last week. I think we're going on a
week now since Lebron James shouted down Steven A in
the middle of a Lakers game. He went on the
(09:46):
Gilbert Arenas podcast yesterday and basically just told the world
what we all knew that he said, keep my son,
you know, out of your mouth, or stop fucking with
my son. Stephen A is a lot of things. I
actually respect him now because he's trying to cross over.
I think he did gil Arenus yesterday, then did Chris Cuomo.
(10:07):
He's like he's everywhere. I will say this. He keeps
going back to this, and I think you and I
are locked up on this. He keeps going back to
this is the reason why we should take stephen A
sirius when he talks about anything including your son.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
Unlike a whole bunch of people with their podcast and
beyond that, talk about the NBA I covered the NBA,
and it's my job to talk about the subjects and
the subject matters that matter.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
I work for ESPN.
Speaker 10 (10:41):
We have the number one morning show for the last
thirteen years in counting. There's a lot that's going on,
and there's a lot of stories that are there to
be told, and I just feel it's necessary to remind people, Molly,
I was raised as a journalist.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Let's be very very clear about what that means.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
I'm not one of those that get into people's private affairs. Well,
what you do on a public platform for public consumption,
that's what I cover.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
That's what I do for a living.
Speaker 10 (11:09):
And when you are raised as a journalist professionally, you
don't want enemies, but you ain't paid to make friends.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
You gotta call it like you see it.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
I think it's time for him to stop trying to
convince us that he's a journalist. He may have gone
to journalism school, but somewhere along the way he stopped
being a journalist and started being a provocateur. He started
being a guy who talks out of his ass, who
shit talks, who is entertainingly shit talking. ESPN gave him
(11:40):
the most money of any personality on TV and sports.
Not because he's a journalist. It's because there's something about
Stephen A. Smith that we give a shit what he says.
He's a provocateur, He exaggerates for a living. He often
talks out of his ass. You can't have a two
hour talk show every day and have an opinion about
every single thing.
Speaker 5 (12:02):
A knowledgeable opinion about everything.
Speaker 9 (12:03):
Correct.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Yes, yes, yeah, that's that's the that's the I'm a
I'm a doctor. I'm a I'm a doctor, a doctor
like that's that's This is doctor Phil trying to convince
us that he actually isn't a doctor of psychiatry.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Right, what does he?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I forget what his doctor it's in. Yeah, trying to
convince this something you're not or something.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
It's something bizarre but whatever. But yeah, it's.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
The the whole thing is remarkable, right, Like, well I
covered the NBA.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Congratulations. I don't know what that.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
What does that mean? I'm a journalist? Okay? Well you
nothing you do on first take or on your pot
whatever that is. Podcasting has maintains journalistic integrity. You talk
about rumors and speculation and then you have all these
takes and things like. That's not journalism. So yeah, you
(13:10):
kind of got to pick one or the other, and
you've made your selection and it's been really really profitable
for you and you're obviously good at it. But once
you make that selection, you know again, I don't. I
don't think anything he said was wrong.
Speaker 5 (13:27):
I just don't. I think stephen A said the quiet
part out loud. I disagree with Rick Puker. Again.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
You can say, well, you're not supposed to talk about
as a father like no, But that's that's the deal.
He's a dad whose son plays in the NBA and
he you know now, he made it happen, but he
wants his son to not be criticized or he wants
to not be criticized for his parenting, when again, to me,
the proper criticism be. Look, I think he obviously is
a good dad. You can be a good dad. You
(13:55):
can be a great dad and then be a complete
and utter pain in the fucking ass to anybody who's
trying to work with your son, coach your son, teach
your son, or or or evaluate your son. Get That's
why I that's why I related it to au AAU
basketball again and I I'm on this line too, like
(14:18):
It's hard for me because part of me wants to
wants to help, wants to understand, Like, I know my kid,
for example, I coached him more than anybody, So I
got to hand that over to somebody else and have
them coach him when they don't know him.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
On the other hand, I do.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Have to let the process like organically take take over
by itself. But you can be a real like let's
not get it twisted. Lebron James, in terms of the
things that he's supposed to do as a dad, he
does a great job of He supports his son. His
son has a passion for basketball. He helps him live
out his dreams like he and he obviously, like all
(14:54):
dads or most dads, my dad, he believes in his
son above any what anybodyody else on earth believes in
the son. These are all great things. There's no negatives there,
there's no but whatever. Now with that being said, there
is the balance of yeah, you can't use that and say, okay,
(15:15):
now my son or my approach with my son, nobody's
you're not allowed to talk about it.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I find that to be I find that to be
uh yeah, preposterous preposters. Who else is.
Speaker 9 (15:31):
About everybody listening to this right now. If you're on
the treadmill, if you're in your car, if you are
if you just like to sit next at your work
desk and listen to the podcast, You're gonna be able
to relate to what I'm about to say. This is
both informative and entertaining. Yesterday, Iowa Sam tried to hit
us on a group text with some information, time sensitive information,
(15:55):
and there was some delay in the receiving of the
message because he has a mix of Apple and Android
users in the group text, and that kind of sparked
my thinking on this. I'm an Android guy. I've always
been an Android guy, have never owned an iPhone. I'm
wondering why Apple would go out of their way to
(16:16):
alienate potential consumers because I have a feel a bad
taste in my mouth about Apple, because they seem to
be trying to force me to convert to them. So
I went on Google and I found this information. This
is amazing, did you know, Doug. As of November of
twenty twenty four, so this research is almost it's very recent.
(16:38):
Android has a seventy one percent market share worldwide. Seven
to ten people worldwide have an Android iPhones have a
fifty six percent market share in the United States. In
the United States, so it led me to thinking, why
(16:58):
would you alienate seven tventy percent of the world by
making our videos blurry? By delaying text messages?
Speaker 11 (17:08):
It's stupid failure to send just incompatibility, but to both ways.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
It also got me to think of this Doug reading
these stats. Android is soccer and iPhones are the NFL.
iPhones have fifty six percent of the market in the US,
but they have a like a thirty percent market share worldwide.
So Apple is the NFL.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Yes, yes, wait what.
Speaker 11 (17:36):
I love this? I love this topic.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, it's it's because you have an Android. You're trying
to tell me that androids are actually awesome and all
of us who own Apple products are not awesome. Is
that what you're trying to tell us?
Speaker 9 (17:52):
Not one bit. I'm saying that raw data tells me
that seventy percent of all phone users and the world
old or Android. So why would Apple alienate seventy of
the world? Apple?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
What do you mean? What do you mean alien by making.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
It difficult for iPhone users to have text and share data.
There's there's iPhone users.
Speaker 5 (18:17):
That's to make you want to get an Apple.
Speaker 11 (18:19):
Yes, but it's it's it's it's petty. We should all
be he we should all be agreeing and have a
data flowing at its top peak.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
It's best.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
I think this is a great on air radio.
Speaker 11 (18:31):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (18:32):
I disagree, and.
Speaker 9 (18:33):
We're going to run a time. We might have to
put a pin in it, but it's it's excellent.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
What else are you annoyed by?
Speaker 9 (18:38):
That's it stephen A being a journalist and the Apple
Android pain in the ass.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Stephen A being a journalist continues to be other.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Why are we doing this?
Speaker 12 (18:54):
I do.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Because we can.
Speaker 9 (19:00):
Doug Michael Malone is the head coach of the Denver Nuggets.
He's obviously very objective when it comes to the MVP vote.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
Obviously, Shay Gilgas Alexander is a great player, and if
he wins his first MVP, you know he's deserving of that.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
My thing is this, You know, if.
Speaker 12 (19:19):
You didn't know that Nicola won three MVPs, and I've
put player A and player B on paper, and you
had no idea that the guy who's averaging a triple double,
the guy who's top three in the three major statistical categories,
things that no one's ever done. He wins the MVP
ten times out of ten. And if you don't think so,
I think you guys are all full of shit.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
That's so good. That's so good.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Obviously you can use stats to support yourself, but it's
so so, so, so good, so good. Why can you
play for you because we can't.
Speaker 5 (19:52):
That's it for me. The most podcasts.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
I got the radio show every day three to five
Eastern telp Tow Pacific, Fox Sports Radio, I Heartradio AP
