Exploring the latest headlines and in depth conversations. It's the
Richmond Weavers Show on one oh four nine Fox Sports
Upstate presented by Ingles Low Prices, Love the Savings Now
for richest take on sports. Here's Richmond Weaver.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Ready to roll this Wednesday. Right here on one oh
four nine Fox Sports Upstate. We are in full force,
mister Trey Falco behind the board and behind the mic.
As always, a beautiful day here in the Upstate, and
we appreciate you listening. However, you might be listening maybe
through your radio on one o four nine Fox Sports Upstate,
or maybe even through the iHeartRadio app. Yes, you know
(00:44):
we're going to mention iHeart Radio app.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I have to cause it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It's fantastic, the new improved, you got the preset buttons,
all of that. It's easy, just downloaded through the app
store or on Google Play. And again you can turn
your phone into a walking radio basically is what it is,
and that's the beauty of it. But you also you
have podcasts that are out there, and of course, yes
we're gonna try to steer YouTube the Richmond Weaver Show
(01:09):
podcast or Game one with John Ellie's podcast. Yes, we're
going to do that, but there's so many other podcasts
out there, because I do love some podcasts.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Oh me too, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Revision History Malcolm Gladwell, that's definitely one of my favorites.
And because you know, yes, I do love history, now
I will. Also there's sports ones that I love. I
Own College Basketball with Matt Orlander and Gary Parrish. That's
another one that I like listening to. So there's a
whole host of podcasts and you can get them all
for free right there through the iHeartRadio rap because it's
(01:39):
free to download again through the app store or on
Google Play. And also just remember now that we're doing
the additional hour, you can find the Richmond Weavers Show
first hour podcast exclusive.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I just dropped it on there, Yes you did, you
just uploaded us. I saw it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So we just got done there talking about the expansion
of college basket, March madness and the potential, but not
so much because I know right now, oh college basketball,
that's one hundred and twelve days away. We don't worry
about that, right But there's something to be said about
all of these things that are happening, that are changing
(02:17):
right now and we're losing focus, We're losing sight on, yes,
what the bigger picture is, and that's why we talked
about it. And we also talked about Major League Baseball
and we did go into robotic umps at the All
Star Game. So we will expand a little bit that
in the latest headlines in the Daily Rundown. But that's
why I wanted to take this opportunity before we had
(02:38):
Brian Kite, author of Daily Discipline newsletter Dailydiscipline dot Com.
He'll be joining us in the next segment and definitely
want to get some of his thoughts on F One.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
The movie.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
We talked about it, yeah, that he convinced me that yes,
you definitely need to go see it, go see.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It in Imax. And I want to get his thoughts on.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Comeback stories and why we love comeback stories because it
is the epitome of a comeback story. And I'm not
giving anything away because you could probably already script it out.
You know what's going to happen in this movie. We're
still entertained by it, and so I do love that.
But what I wanted to talk about here is this
how it actually fits right into what's going on with
(03:19):
college basketball and the discussions as far as expansion, and
we know college football the playoffs that we're trying to
understand is it going to stay at twelve teams? Is
it going to go sixteen? And even within that, what's
going to be the format? How are the teams selected?
How are we going to identify which teams will have
the opportunity of playing for a national championship. But I
(03:41):
think there's something to be said that we need to
get the foundation correct. We need to get the foundation
built and stabilized, and I'm talking all of college athletics
so we can look at how we're trying to change
things and move things forward.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I get all of that, but.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is it really going to be that major of an
advantage of having seventy two or seventy six teams in
the NCAA tournament if we're not having the structure that's
there to sustain it, right? And that's why even with
college football going on right now, with the big twelve
media days and SEC starting on Monday and then the
(04:22):
ACC to follow that the following week, right now, there's
a lot of discussion as far as the thought of
collective bargaining. Are these players are the employees is the
NIL Is it being used as it should be intended
as endorsements or is it just truly pay for play?
(04:44):
But it's a charade because I think we all understand
it's a charade.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Uh yeah, I feel like it's pretty safe bet. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
When NIL came out, it was immediately the first thing
people started talking about was that, Oh, you're going to
have the local car dealership just give money to a
player to come there and say, oh, it's an endorsement deal.
So it was always going to be under that guise
of pay for play. We just didn't want to say
it because it's amateurism, it's college athletic. Yeah, they're students.
(05:12):
They're students, that's right. And we know that college sports
is entering into a transformative error and that's a big
word right now, but I'm telling you that we are
and we're seeing it, and I think there's a part
of the university ads and presidents that are understanding that
(05:35):
to get to where we ultimately need to be, we
need to have collective bargaining and we need to solve
some of these issues first. And even at the Big
twelve Football Media Day, Rich Rodriguez, it's coming out and
as quoted as saying, this is West Virginia head coach.
How do you make a half a million dollars and
(05:56):
aren't an employee?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Question mark end quote.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, and again maybe it's not the dollar volume, right right,
but it's the when you have revenue sharing and you're
paying these players directly. Again, that's not an endorsement deal.
So here we go, why aren't you looking at the opportunity?
And I would have to say coaches also, they're usually
(06:24):
not afraid.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
To speak the truth. Well yeah, right right.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And there's some that are, you know, more direct and
we'll tell you the truth pretty quickly, and there's others
that will skirt around the issue, and you know, and
so you do have to remember that. But for the
most part, these coaches are in a lot of times
of world of black or white, win or lose, or
you're fired, and that's the reality of it. And they
(06:50):
know that you can't get caught too many times in
inn windows with players that you're trying to recruit. I mean,
you have to be honest, authentic with them, you know
all of that. Not to say that it doesn't happen,
because it definitely does. But we know that right now,
the reason college athletes are being paid six and seven
figures per year, it's not for their nil rights, right,
(07:14):
it's for them to play at that particular school. So
why can't we just admit this, how this is the
truth right now, and it's just move forward and let's
stop trying to reinvent the wheel, trying to do things
differently and use the model of the NFL. I'm not
saying the NFL has everything perfect or the NBA has
(07:35):
everything perfect. I mean we've seen lockouts, we've seen strikes,
we've seen those type of things happen. But at the
end of the day, I mean, at least there's the
structure involved, and then you can have that opportunity of
identifying what might be the core issues and how to
resolve them. Rather than right now, I mean, we can't even,
(07:57):
like I was saying the other day, we can't even
get to an understanding of if we do want to
expand the college football playoff.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
How the hell are we going to do it?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Is it going to be five teams that get automatic
bids and you've got eleven at large or is it
going to be some other combination And we're still so
fragmented with these conferences propping their own entity up.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They're the best.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
They want to go out there and solidify their own
media rights deal so they have the opportunity of earning
as much money as possible. And if other schools, other
conferences are left in the dust and we don't care, Yeah,
we got ours, like the NFC East competing against the
NFC South, you know for media rights deals with CBS
(08:48):
or NBC. You know, it's like, what are we doing
our Fox Sports? I mean, I don't understand. That's why
we need this, you know, one entity. And so there's
a billionaire Cody Campbell for Texas Techy. He's at the
Big twelve Media Days right now and he's doing the
car wash with all of the local media that are
there or all the media that are there locally, and
(09:11):
the media that are there are all the national people
right from you, and he's pushing that we need to
all come together so we can save all college sports,
not just the big boys, not just the big entities,
but also the Olympic sports, women's sports, all of that.
(09:32):
So how can we do this. It's going to take money.
We do know that, of course these sports need funding,
right Well, guess what you can have the SEC and
the Big ten, acc Big twelve, they can have their
own media right stills that they were able to negotiate.
And you know understand that you have X percentage of
(09:56):
leverage based on how valued your conference is like the SEC.
We do know, even through all the propaganda whatever it is,
right right, that it does seem that media companies value
the SEC better than they are more than they do
other conferences. Sure, because there seems to be more intrigue,
(10:19):
there's more eyeballs on the SEC.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
However you want to frame that.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But Cody Campbell's position is, yeah, that's great, but how
about this. Just think if you all came together, if
you unified, then economy of scale kicks in, and just
think what type of leverage you have as one entity
(10:46):
and what type of media rights deal you could get.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Look at the NFL BEINGO, you.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Think Carolina or Pittsburgh or Dallas would make as much
money if they were trying to do it individually, or
they it did break it down to division or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
No way, no way, no way, Because again going back
to that cliche with rising tides, right, all boats are lifted,
So why would you not want to look at that,
and that's what we've been saying that. And I know
even Greg Sankee, the SEC Commissioner, back at the SEC
meetings in May, he even said that he's got university
(11:26):
presidents asking why are we still in the NC DOUBLEA
or why are we still members of the NC DOUBLEA? Yeah,
So they're even questioning it. So I think there's something
that we're wanting to lose. Focus on the true solution, yeah,
or the logical solution. Maybe true is not the right word,
(11:47):
but a logical solution. And I'm not saying it's going
to be easy, oh not at all. But it seems
as humans, when there's adversity, right and there's challenges, we
might look the other way and say, ah, yeah, we'll.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Figure that one out later on.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
But let me go change, let me go expand march madness,
because I know I can do that and that'll be
a sense of accomplishment. But changing the world of college
athletics by uniting all of the conferences, that's a little
bit more daunting, and I get it. But at the
end of the day, I think that's going to be
(12:29):
where the logical solution lies, because that's going to lead
you to collective bargaining, and ultimately collective bargaining is going
to be the reason why you're no longer having all
of these lawsuits that we're starting to see more and
more of based on the House settlement. I also look
at it to your point, we turn our head away
from the problems. But at the same time, and this
(12:51):
can't be said for anything, but there are a lot
of problems, especially this problem right here. It can be
fixed with money, and money talks.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Money talks, and unfortunately, I think it's gonna take that
billionaire or other billionaires to step in and say, hey, yes,
maybe maybe this is the way to move forward, for
the NC DOUBLEA to look at it and go, hey,
you know what, they got a point. And this guy
I trust him because he's got a lot of money
and he seems like he knows what he's talking about.
Or these guys whoever it is that comes to them, Hey,
(13:19):
maybe we can fix this problem.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's probably what it's gonna take. I don't I don't.
I don't know that it matters.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
How many coaches or universities or players step forward until
somebody big enough comes in that the NC double A
respects and can listen to. I don't know that you're
really gonna have a whole lot of change, or if
you are, it's gonna take a lot longer. Where somebody
like this steps in, maybe they can expedite the process.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
There's no question that money can make things more convenient.
It's not gonna solve all the problems. We do know that,
but yes, and it can expedite things for certain and
having business people involved does help. And that's why it's
not going to be a Congress solution.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's just not right. We're going to continue to have lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We need some business acumen that's going to be involved
here because we do know it's big business. And that's
what the point is that stop shining away from saying
that it's not big business.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It is big business. It is, Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
We have to understand that and move forward. And it's
not nil, it's pay for play. So let's get to
that point, and so you can view them as employees.
You can then get into that arena of collective bargaining.
And even Cody Campbell, the Texas tech billionaire, has come
out and said, hey, you know what, it would be
(14:35):
a lot easier if I just continue to funnel a
lot of money to Texas Tech, and we tried to
be the best Texas Tech we could be in all sports.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And I'll fund it all. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, because he played there, but he's viewing it from
a bigger picture standpoint, at a global perspective. Yes, exactly,
Let's do it so every boat is lifted.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
And that's where I think we need to get to
at some point.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
All right, when we come back, we'll talk with Brian Kite,
author of Daily Discipline newsletter The Coach to the Coaches,
as we will look at some behavioral performances and break
down F one the movie and why we love comeback
stories much more. Right after this, the Wednesday edition of
(15:22):
the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets continues right
here on one O four nine, Fix Sports Upstate and
remember we will be having trivia question and just a
little bit yes, your opportunity to win a twenty five
dollars gift card to Autobil car Wash. So get ready
for the trivia question and just a reminder of the
(15:42):
text number is eight six four triple seven ninety five
ninety three. Again that number is eight six four triple
seven ninety five ninety three, and I do have a
good one today, Trey.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I think I'm gonna stump some people.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh Okay, it's NBA, I know, but NBA something's going
on right now, so that's why it's relevant. I know
we're going to be talking a lot college football and NFL,
but I'm going to NBA A little bit old school here,
all right. Yeah, So I mean again that's I grew
up just loving the NBA, you know, So there's that
part of it too. So I know some people might
want to have some college football trivia or NFL and
(16:17):
we will.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We've got plenty of time for that all summer.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But yes, and we'll see if I can stump some
people a little bit later with the trivia question, so
stay tuned for that. But right now, it is our
time each week that we get to talk to my
good friend BK. Brian Kite, author of Daily Discipline newsletter
and you can find out all his information at dailydiscipline
dot com. The coach to the coaches, as we like
(16:41):
to say, helping us understand behavioral performances. And Bka, I
know we talked last week and you told me to run,
not walk, to go see f one the movie and
see it in Imax. And I did convince Julian and
my wife to go see it and we saw it
absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
So you deliver on the recommendation, my friend brother.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I did not.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
I hope I didn't steer you wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
No, you did not. So here's the thing though.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
When I left the movie theater though, so having to
travel on the Interstate on I three eighty five, there's
like six lanes and there's hardly anybody out on the road, Brian,
and next thing I know, I'm like, I'm holding the
steering wheel at ten and two and I can see
myself as Sonny Hayes, the F one driver going.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Down the road.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So that was my only caveat is that, man, I
got slow down after watching that movie.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
It's so funny. My son was reading a book last
night and the phrase.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Pedal to the metal was in the book and he
read it.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I asked him to do it and ask him if
you knew what it meant, and he said, yeah, I
means go fast. And I was like, right, but do
you know what pedal to the metal like?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Do you know what the like? The phrase it?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I had to describe what it means to put the
pedal to the metal.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
And boy, that boy, that movie does it? Man that
does that movie? Was it?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
No question?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And the soundtrack everything around it. And I found myself
now like wanting to go find like three tennis balls
and bounce them up against the wall.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I mean, there's all types of things.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
I slipped the cards and I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'm not gonna lie to you. I told you.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
But like Hans Zimmer, he did the soundtrack, and you know,
Hans Zimmer did Inception, Hans Zimmer did in your Celler,
Hans Zimmer did, he did dun Kirk, he did the
Dune movies. I'm telling you what, may you throw the
Hans Zimmer half of that soundtrack on all his stuff
of that f one movie can go? You sit back
(18:34):
and you will realize. I text my brother and a
guy that I saw with my one of my college
football buddies. Listening to it the next day and I
was like, just listening to the soundtrack confirmed that half
the enjoyment of that movie came directly out of Hans
Zimmer's music, which is very much It's very much Hans Zimmer.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So that's right, Yes, it emotionally brings you back once
you've watched it. There's no doubt the emotions that are
pulled with that music. And I did download it again
based on your recommendation. It's it's fantastic. Brian Kitite is
our guest here on the Wednesday edition of the Richmond
Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets. And remember the author
(19:14):
of the Daily Discipline newsletter and find out more information
at Dailydiscipline dot com. All right, so I do have
to ask you though this Brian, in reference to this movie,
and this is a story that we have seen so
many times, but it's a formula that seems to work.
These comeback stories like Sonny Hayes, you know, Brad Pitt's character,
(19:35):
it seems to whatever captivate audiences. And I guess you know,
the the redemption themes, the perseverance. You know, why do
you think that we as human beings, why are we
so drawn to these type of narratives and these comeback stories.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I mean, the the there's we could do, We could
do more than our segment on this preseular conversation, you know.
But the simple answer, the simple answer is because I
think there's two sides of it. One is the alternative
is not interesting at all? Which is which is you know.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Picker, sport, picker whatever. A guy races cars.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
He's very good early, and then he wins all the
time and has an amazing career and wins a lot,
and everything goes the way he wants, and his wife
loves him, and his children always agree with him and
follow all of his direction. And then he gives a
bunch of his money to charity the rest of his children,
and he dies and he's a gigantic hero.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Everybody loves him like that.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That's not an interesting People aren't interested. You try to
make that and nobody. Nobody's gonna watch that. Yeah, and
then number and then number two. Number two is because
all of us know inherently that there's something standing in
our way. We all know that every one of us
knows there's something standing in our way, and more than
(21:06):
one thing, but keep it simple track. We all know
there's something standing in our way. When we read a book,
when we read a story, when we when we watch
a movie, we put ourselves into.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
This.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's a transference of their life and imposing onto ours
of our mind into that character and what it is
is it's our chance to live out what we would
do and how it would feel.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Without risk to us.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So we actually get to live the feeling of pain
and struggle and disappointment and and I'm not giving anything
in the way in the movie, but you know, he
he you know, he's got you know where he's got
his struggles and he's got his you know, he's got
kind of his weak points. And we kind of get
to live out some of that of there. But we
get to do it in the risk free setting up
(22:01):
our living room or you know, reading our book or
watching the movie. And then we also got to experience
the elation and the joy. And there is no end
to that right there.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
For us, there's no end, you know in our lives.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Wait, we're doing our jobs, we're doing our rempeding, we're
we're doing our pickup games, or we're watching our kids,
and and there's not like there's some end where it's like, man,
I've experienced enough, I've experienced enough joy where I don't
need to experience joy anymore.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Or I've experienced enough victory.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I don't need to experience another victory again. Even if
we retire. It's not like we're done with victory. We're
still when we retire, we're still trying to go find
more enjoyment. So there is no there is no end
to this. I mean this this goes back to you know,
if you're if you're interested in it, the Joseph Campbell
I'm actually staring at one of those books here right now. Ironically,
Joseph Campbell identified this in The Hero's Journey. They all
(22:49):
follow the same arc, and then it's it's a very
well structured arc. And then the art is just how
you make it come to life, right, It's how you
make it.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Come to life.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
And so you've got They's a Thunder, which is another
racing movie, or you've got what was the racing movie
with with Matt Damon and Christian Bale. Great, yes, all
such a such a cool movie, right, different than f one,
but but each of these follow the same They follow
a very a very familiar template.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
And then it's just it's the art.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
It's like painting, like painting a picture of a person.
Not every painting of a person is good, or a
scene or a setting is good. But man, when you
have a great artist, it doesn't need to be something new.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
It just needs to be well done.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And obviously Joseph Kazinski
and the whole crew there behind F one did a
fantastic job being able to quote unquote paint that picture.
But I'm curious, like for tying it into like E
plus R equals zero, event plus response equals outcome. So
how you know, can you how can that framework be
(23:59):
part of it of being able to step out of
that risk free zone that we're seeing, but be able
to maybe take some motivation you know, from a movie,
a story like that, but then utilize some framework to
apply it into your own life to move past that
obstacle that's holding us back.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
So here's what's really interesting, rich And I realized this
I was reading.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Some things a few years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
And obviously I work with with you know, a huge
part of my work is working with coaches, working with executives, businesses, companies, athletes, teams,
and most of the people that I'm working with are
competitive in that they're trying to pursue an achievement, they're
trying to win something, they're trying to create something, trying
to build something. They're naturally competitive people. And then they're
(24:51):
maybe they're leading people who aren't quite as competitive, all
kinds of different dynamics, But a huge part of my
work is how do we get people to do the
hard things required to achieve the meaningful things? That's a
huge part of work. How do we get people ourselves first, right,
the people close to us probably next, and then the
(25:13):
people that were leading or competing with how do we
how do we get ourselves to do the hard things
to achieve the meaningful things? And a really interesting thing
emerged when you play are there any you play a
board games? You grow up, play any board games with
your family? Or now do you play you got to.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Play any board games?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Or what games do you.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Guys like to play?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I'm trying to Obviously Monopoly has been a big one
sequence is one that we play right now?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah? So there's there are several Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, it was a great game. Right, so let's let's
even go back to something real simple.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Let's go to shoots and lockers.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Oh yeah, of course, here's what we have to understand.
A game is only interesting if there are constraints, barriers, challenges,
and something you have to overcome. Because if that game
was called ladders, it's not fun. If that game is
(26:13):
roll the dice and you go forward and up only,
the game loses not some of its interest, it loses
all of its interest. What makes the game enjoyable is
the presence of the shoot. It is the thrill of
I might fall behind or go down.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
When you play basketball, you.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Have to dribble. If you didn't have to dribble, or
there was no out of bounds, or or you know,
the basket was hip high, that that's not a fun sport.
If you go out and you play, If you go
out and you play pickleball against my five year old daughter,
that's not.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Fun for you. That's not enjoyable. You win every time,
you're not. You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So here's here's what is fascinating. We love games because
of the friction and challenges and limitations that they put
in front of us, and we resent life for the
same reason.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Wow, why do we do that?
Speaker 6 (27:21):
You don't play games?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
They're not interesting to you if they don't present a challenge.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You go play golf against a ten year old who
doesn't really know what they're doing. It's not it's that's
fun to teach him fun. Fine, if it's your son, great, wonderful.
If it's a competition and you're playing against a thirty
five handicap and you're just playing straight up, that's not
even fun. But if you and I play were similar
handicaps and it's a tight match, that's the most fun.
(27:52):
So in sports and in movies, we love the barriers.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Because that's what gives it the fat.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
That's what gives it the meaning, that's what gives it
the depth, That's.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
What gives it the joy. It is the joy.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
And then in life when the same stuff presents itself
in general life and some people figure this in business,
a lot of people have figured this out, not everybody,
but but but a lot of people in business have
figured out this sort of puzzle. But in life we
almost don't want those obstacles. We want the o to
be easier, we want the need to be less friction.
(28:25):
And then we get into a game and we're like, well,
I don't know, crank it up a little bit, but
not too far.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
And so there's an art to it, right, little scize,
little art.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
But one thing that can help a lot of people is,
you know, when you think about this in sports or
whatever happens to be enjoy, enjoy when the circumstance is
adding some limitations and constraints and barriers and you know,
whatever you want to call it, treat it like the
same way that you would treat you know, when you
(28:53):
play pickleball, why you have to let the ball bounce
one time on each side, Like, don't say, well that's
a dumb rule, that's unfair.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
No, it's just the rule. Yes, it's just the rule.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Like, oh, you're not allowed to ground the wrist in basketball,
you're not allowed the goalpend You're like, well it's a
dumb roll up.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Well, it's the rule. That's it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Like without that constraint. Now here's the hard part. The
hard part is this. The hard part is that in games,
all those boundaries and all those rules are explicit.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
In life they're not.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
There's no boundary, there's no out of bounds. There's law,
there's law, but you know, even that can kind of
vary and it can change. But in life, there are
no established boundaries. There is no clear target, there is
no finish line of who wins and who loses. And
so we have to learn how to overlay some of
these things that we see in one environment a game
or a movie or whatever, and then lay it over
(29:44):
our life and say, why do I view my life
with such a different set of eyes than maybe I
go out and I play this game with and how
can I benefit?
Speaker 6 (29:51):
A lot of times we try to.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Say how the game is like life, but I think
sometimes we need to want we need to flip it,
and we say how can I make light a a
bit more structured like I view this game and then
overlay that on it and say, oh, this isn't a problem.
This is just simply part of the playing board. This
is the playing field, this is the structure, it's the boundary.
(30:13):
And now I can come and bring the same kind
of competitive effort and curiosity and fun to this as
I do to these games that I love.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, and so does it even tie into somewhat what
we talked about a little bit last week. Humans don't
like to be controlled, but they want to be in control.
So like in the sports, and you know you're talking
about the game, we like those rules, but in life
we don't like rules to a certain degree, and we
(30:42):
just have to kind of fight through the subjectivity those
gray areas that you're described in life.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Well, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Mean in a game. In a game kind of what's
nice as we're entering into a world that something into
a world somebody else created, and so we we enter
into the game. And the first thing you do if
you get brand new game is.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Literally you read the rules.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Oh, this is what you do because you approach the
game with the expectation of it is it's designed.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
To work a particular way.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
So for for you know, as you're as for those
of you who are listening, what I would say is
take that same thing and except now you get to
be part of the designer. You get to be part
of the design. You're the designer of how you do
that in your life. If you let somebody else dictate
(31:31):
the rules of how you're supposed to play, here's the problem.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
If we're playing Monopoly or you know, we got a
new game with my kids, I'll forget what it's called.
But they put on these glasses and it turns everything
upside down, and then you pass around and everybody has
to complete these tasks and it's all in the inverse
upside down. It's super fun in a game. In a game,
it's cool because it's just a it's a little temporary.
It's a temporary and we accept that, we accept that
(31:55):
we're limited in these ways, and we acknowledge that that's
part of what makes it fun. Right in life, if
you let somebody else do that, it's not a it's
not a it's not a it's not a break from
your life. You're letting somebody else set the boundaries by
which how you live.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Don't do that.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
You get to set those, and then there's going to
be other players and they're going to be doing those.
But sometimes this is one of the hard things about
life is you know, and you see this.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
College football is dealing with this a little.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Bit right now. Sometimes you realize there are two people
who are in a similar environment. Sometimes they're in the
same home. Sometimes they're you know, in the same family.
Sometimes we're in the same shulcal networks, and they are
playing two completely different games by two completely different sets
of rules, and one is expecting the other one to
operate by those rules for those pursuits. And at the
end of the day, at the end of the day,
(32:46):
I don't know, rich if you and I are pursuing
the same goal like we would if I was playing
trouble with my son yesterday, where we're both trying to
get all four of our pieces into the end, and
we're operating by the same set of rules. I don't
know if you're operating by the same set of rules
as me. I don't even if you're pursuing the same set.
So for me to get into this moment where I'm
in this kind of odd conflict with you or I'm
trying to make you operate a certain way, is no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I don't want you.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Creating rules for how I need to operate in my
life any more than I want to be creating rules
for how you need to operate in yours. So what
I do is I create a set of and this
is standards, rules, principles, et cetera. I create the ones
by which I'm going to operate, and so I try
to take equal sorryquo zoo, which exists outside of me.
But then I say, all right, here's what I'm going
to go do. And you know, for example, I have
(33:30):
one that I live by like I'm confident until I'm wrong,
and then I make corrections. I'm not going to live
my life. The rule I operate by is I'm confident
as my home base, and I push that forward until
I meet moments when I'm wrong. I'm not afraid to
meet those moments. I know that they're there, and trust me,
if I knew where I was wrong right now, I
would change.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
It, Like like it's such a weird thing.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Like sometimes like listen, like if you knew you were
wrong right now, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
You just change that.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
So if I knew all the ways in which I
was wrong.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Current, I would just not do them. So I have
to be.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Confident and then go out and bring that confidence into
my actions, try to solve stuff. Where I'm wrong, find it,
make the corrections. But where I'm right, I want to sprint.
I want to go, and I want to crush. And
now I don't want to wait to quote unquote earn
that confidence. I want to go do it and then
find out if I'm right or wrong or somewhere in between,
make those corrections and go. And sometimes people are going
(34:24):
to look at that and they're going to think whatever
they think, and they're gonna believe whatever they believe about that,
about me or anybody else who maybe lives that way.
But it's not like living passively and you know, not
having any confidence earns you some kind of massive respect,
and they build statues out of you due to your
you know, unbelievable meekness. Like nobody does that either. So
(34:44):
we might as well create a set of structures, principles,
and rules by which we live and play quote unquote
the game of life. By not that it means less.
But if I guess to close the thought and close
the loop, is football, basketball.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
All of this different stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
It's ultimately just a game, but when you see people
playing at that level and they commit themselves to it,
it's obviously deeper and more meaningful than just a game.
And then the same thing works in life. By treating
life like a game doesn't minimize life. It actually helps
you deepen your engagement and relationship and meaning in it
because it helps you attack it in a more direct fashion.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
That helps you be a lot closer to who you.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Want to be, no question.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And that's where the E plus R equalsz comes into
the whole overarching equation. That one equation right there can
be applied in so many different ways, and that's why
we love having you on here. Mister Brian Kite, author

That is Brian Kite, author of Daily Discipline newsletter. Again,
Dailydiscipline dot com is where you can find out to
all of his information. And I'm telling you, Falco, you know,
I could probably go for hours, oh yeah with Brian.
Him and I talk quite a bit and we have
(37:26):
some long conversations.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I just love being able.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
To apply a lot of what we talk about with
sports and life and how they are connected.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And that's a different way to view it. That they
make life a little bit more like.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
A game, yeah than game is life. So I do
like that, and I do want to get to a
point where we talk about the text line. I do
want to get to a point where we can actually
have people texting end you might have some questions for
for Brian. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, So that's something that
we do need to think about. And speaking of the
text line real quick before we hit the break, to
(38:00):
give the text line number out eight six four triple
seven ninety five ninety three, because we have a trivia
question your opportunity to win a twenty five dollars gift
card from autobil car Wash. All right, you're ready, here
we go, Yes, let's do it again. Text line eight
six to four triple seven ninety five ninety three. The
first person to text in with the correct answer will
win the twenty five dollars gift card to Autobill car Wash.
(38:23):
There's been four MVPs in the past twenty five years
in the NBA that played all eighty two games. So
you had Michael Jordan, you had Tim Duncan. It is
actually thirty five years, so Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, and
Kevin Garnet, who is the last MVP in the NBA
(38:48):
to play all eighty two games. So I just gave
you four in the past thirty five years. Michael Jordan,
Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett. But there's one other one
and he was the last one to do it, played
all eighty two games in the NBA and won the
MVP that season. Name that player eight six four Triple
seven ninety five ninety three, and we'll continue this Wednesday
(39:10):
edition of the Richmond Weavers Show presented by Engles Markets
right after this. The text line eight six four Triple
seven ninety five ninety three is open. Right now, we
do have the trivia question going on. Remember eight six
four Triple seven ninety five ninety three, And we do
(39:30):
have some Texters that have texted in trying to win
a twenty five dollars gift card to autobill car wash
here in the Upstate. And the question is the past four,
the last four MVPs who've played eighty two games, and
again we're looking at, you know, thirty five plus years.
Michael Jordan was one, he won the mvp'd played all
(39:51):
eighty two games. Then you had Tim Duncan. I'm going
to chronological order here. Tim Duncan, he did it, MVP
played all eighty two games. Kevin Garnett did it. After
Tim Duncan played all eighty two games and won the MVP,
and then after Kevin Garnett, there was a player and
he was the last player to play eighty two games
(40:14):
and be named the NBA MVP of the season. So
we're starting to see these MVPs are not playing full
eighty two games, So why are we continuing to push
eighty two games in NBA? We just go to a
shorter season, right, I think they're telling you something. Yeah,
they're telling you something. So I'm trying to get the answer.
Who is the last player in the NBA to be
(40:38):
named MVP and play eighty two games? And we've had,
you know, from Steph Curry names. Yeah, that's not correct.
A couple of those have come in and that's a
good guess though. Aw hey, you've seen Steph Curry. He's
he's an iron man at times. But that is not
the question. Lebron James is not the answer either. But
there's somebody else out there that is obviously the answer,
(41:01):
and we're searching for that. So right again, text that
end eight six y four, triple seven ninety five ninety
three Again, who is the last player in the NBA
to play all eighty two games and win the NBA MVP?
Text in that answer and you can have an opportunity
to win a twenty five dollars gift card from autobil
car wash. All right, let's take a look at some
(41:22):
of the latest headlines.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
It's only one game play.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
And that's the take care of.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Ben hitting the latest headlines. It's the daily rundown.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
All right.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Speaking of NBA, there's some other deals that are being
inked right now in the NBA, and we're talking Oklahoma City.
Chet Holmgren has signed a rookie Max deal and this
is where he's going to be making fifty million dollars
a year. Good prim rookie max five year, two hundred
(41:53):
and fifty million dollars. Who can and that's stipulated that
that's the max. It can be which all signs point
that it's you know, or all points or uh?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Is that great? All sets point there you go.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
We're going to get that cliche right one of these days.
I need I need like a dictionary of all of
the cliches with those type of sayings, because you have
you move one word.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
And it's completely wrong. I need to get a whiteboard
and just all write it down totally.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yes, come on, producer extraordinaire, I need some help here
behind the mic come on now, yes, we definitely need that.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
But we also saw another deal.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
In the NBA, Devin Booker the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yeah, we talked about this.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
We know that SGA with OKC was able to get
his bag of money, right, almost seventy two million.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Well, defen Booker, he got his deal two year deal,
one hundred and fifty million dollars max deal two years,
one hundred and fifty Yeah, that's he's to calculate that
seventy five million dollars a year for Devin Booker. And
this is a Phoenix Suns team. They're not good, right,
they are in the dumps. They just traded away Kevin Durant. Yeah,
(43:11):
so there's something to be said about that. So we
will see. How about this in college athletics, we talked
about it, how things are changing. Yes, Southern cal has
announced that they are eliminating up to ten positions in
their athletic department. It calls off cost cutting measures to
pay for revenue sharing. That's coming interesting. Oh yes, so
(43:36):
very interesting.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
There.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
All right, that's some of the latest headlines and we'll
wrap up this Wednesday edition of the Richmond Weaver Show
presented by Ingles Markets. Right after this, the winning continues
right here on the Wednesday edition of The Richmond Weaver
Show presented by Ingles Markets, we do have a winner

And remember, the question was who is the last NBA
MVP to play all eighty two games? Right told you
Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett did it in
the last one to do it in two thousand and seven,
mister Kobe Bryant, and Texter ninety five seventy three was
the first one to text in with the correct answer.
With Kobe, we had several other people text in in
(44:24):
with that correct answer, but ninety five seventy three was
the first one to text in, So congratulations there. We
do appreciate all of the Texters being able to join
the conversation through the text line, and we'll have more

the podcast versions also go to the iHeartRadio app. The
Richmond Weavers Show Exclusive podcast hour is there. We talked

things out also, and Major League Baseball robotic umpires and
(45:16):
for taking shape at the All Star Game. We'll see
how that plays out. It is July ninth, So let's
walk back in a little bit of history.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
What happened on this day. Let's go back in history
to the moments you might have forgotten and the ones
you'll never forget. It's OTD on this day.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Nineteen thirty two, the NFL would award a franchise to Boston.
Oh yes, all right, and the name the Boston Braves
would change their nickname to the Redskins in nineteen thirty three,
and then decide, yeah, let's go to Washington in nineteen
thirty six, and so they left, and then ultimately the
Patriots came there, and in nineteen sixty six Jack Nicholas
(45:57):
when the British opened, to join Jean Sarah's, Ben Hogan
and Gary Player as the only men to win the
four Majors.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
And we know that has changed now.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
And in nineteen sixty eight, Wilt Chamberlain became the first
reigning NBA MVP to be traded the next season when
he moved from Philadelphia to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah, so it does happen.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
That is OTD and that is this Wednesday edition of
the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
I just dropped it on there, Yes you did, you
just uploaded us. I saw it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
So we just got done there talking about the expansion
of college basket, March madness and the potential, but not
so much because I know right now, oh college basketball,
that's one hundred and twelve days away. We don't worry
about that, right But there's something to be said about
all of these things that are happening, that are changing
(02:17):
right now and we're losing focus, We're losing sight on, yes,
what the bigger picture is, and that's why we talked
about it. And we also talked about Major League Baseball
and we did go into robotic umps at the All
Star Game. So we will expand a little bit that
in the latest headlines in the Daily Rundown. But that's
why I wanted to take this opportunity before we had
(02:38):
Brian Kite, author of Daily Discipline newsletter Dailydiscipline dot Com.
He'll be joining us in the next segment and definitely
want to get some of his thoughts on F One.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
The movie.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
We talked about it, yeah, that he convinced me that yes,
you definitely need to go see it, go see.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
It in Imax. And I want to get his thoughts on.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Comeback stories and why we love comeback stories because it
is the epitome of a comeback story. And I'm not
giving anything away because you could probably already script it out.
You know what's going to happen in this movie. We're
still entertained by it, and so I do love that.
But what I wanted to talk about here is this
how it actually fits right into what's going on with
(03:19):
college basketball and the discussions as far as expansion, and
we know college football the playoffs that we're trying to
understand is it going to stay at twelve teams? Is
it going to go sixteen? And even within that, what's
going to be the format? How are the teams selected?
How are we going to identify which teams will have
the opportunity of playing for a national championship. But I
(03:41):
think there's something to be said that we need to
get the foundation correct. We need to get the foundation
built and stabilized, and I'm talking all of college athletics
so we can look at how we're trying to change
things and move things forward.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I get all of that, but.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Is it really going to be that major of an
advantage of having seventy two or seventy six teams in
the NCAA tournament if we're not having the structure that's
there to sustain it, right? And that's why even with
college football going on right now, with the big twelve
media days and SEC starting on Monday and then the
(04:22):
ACC to follow that the following week, right now, there's
a lot of discussion as far as the thought of
collective bargaining. Are these players are the employees is the
NIL Is it being used as it should be intended
as endorsements or is it just truly pay for play?
(04:44):
But it's a charade because I think we all understand
it's a charade.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Uh yeah, I feel like it's pretty safe bet. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
When NIL came out, it was immediately the first thing
people started talking about was that, Oh, you're going to
have the local car dealership just give money to a
player to come there and say, oh, it's an endorsement deal.
So it was always going to be under that guise
of pay for play. We just didn't want to say
it because it's amateurism, it's college athletic. Yeah, they're students.
(05:12):
They're students, that's right. And we know that college sports
is entering into a transformative error and that's a big
word right now, but I'm telling you that we are
and we're seeing it, and I think there's a part
of the university ads and presidents that are understanding that
(05:35):
to get to where we ultimately need to be, we
need to have collective bargaining and we need to solve
some of these issues first. And even at the Big
twelve Football Media Day, Rich Rodriguez, it's coming out and
as quoted as saying, this is West Virginia head coach.
How do you make a half a million dollars and
(05:56):
aren't an employee?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Question mark end quote.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, and again maybe it's not the dollar volume, right right,
but it's the when you have revenue sharing and you're
paying these players directly. Again, that's not an endorsement deal.
So here we go, why aren't you looking at the opportunity?
And I would have to say coaches also, they're usually
(06:24):
not afraid.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
To speak the truth. Well yeah, right right.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And there's some that are, you know, more direct and
we'll tell you the truth pretty quickly, and there's others
that will skirt around the issue, and you know, and
so you do have to remember that. But for the
most part, these coaches are in a lot of times
of world of black or white, win or lose, or
you're fired, and that's the reality of it. And they
(06:50):
know that you can't get caught too many times in
inn windows with players that you're trying to recruit. I mean,
you have to be honest, authentic with them, you know
all of that. Not to say that it doesn't happen,
because it definitely does. But we know that right now,
the reason college athletes are being paid six and seven
figures per year, it's not for their nil rights, right,
(07:14):
it's for them to play at that particular school. So
why can't we just admit this, how this is the
truth right now, and it's just move forward and let's
stop trying to reinvent the wheel, trying to do things
differently and use the model of the NFL. I'm not
saying the NFL has everything perfect or the NBA has
(07:35):
everything perfect. I mean we've seen lockouts, we've seen strikes,
we've seen those type of things happen. But at the
end of the day, I mean, at least there's the
structure involved, and then you can have that opportunity of
identifying what might be the core issues and how to
resolve them. Rather than right now, I mean, we can't even,
(07:57):
like I was saying the other day, we can't even
get to an understanding of if we do want to
expand the college football playoff.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
How the hell are we going to do it?
Speaker 4 (08:05):
Right?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Is it going to be five teams that get automatic
bids and you've got eleven at large or is it
going to be some other combination And we're still so
fragmented with these conferences propping their own entity up.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
They're the best.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
They want to go out there and solidify their own
media rights deal so they have the opportunity of earning
as much money as possible. And if other schools, other
conferences are left in the dust and we don't care, Yeah,
we got ours, like the NFC East competing against the
NFC South, you know for media rights deals with CBS
(08:48):
or NBC. You know, it's like, what are we doing
our Fox Sports? I mean, I don't understand. That's why
we need this, you know, one entity. And so there's
a billionaire Cody Campbell for Texas Techy. He's at the
Big twelve Media Days right now and he's doing the
car wash with all of the local media that are
there or all the media that are there locally, and
(09:11):
the media that are there are all the national people
right from you, and he's pushing that we need to
all come together so we can save all college sports,
not just the big boys, not just the big entities,
but also the Olympic sports, women's sports, all of that.
(09:32):
So how can we do this. It's going to take money.
We do know that, of course these sports need funding,
right Well, guess what you can have the SEC and
the Big ten, acc Big twelve, they can have their
own media right stills that they were able to negotiate.
And you know understand that you have X percentage of
(09:56):
leverage based on how valued your conference is like the SEC.
We do know, even through all the propaganda whatever it is,
right right, that it does seem that media companies value
the SEC better than they are more than they do
other conferences. Sure, because there seems to be more intrigue,
(10:19):
there's more eyeballs on the SEC.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
However you want to frame that.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
But Cody Campbell's position is, yeah, that's great, but how
about this. Just think if you all came together, if
you unified, then economy of scale kicks in, and just
think what type of leverage you have as one entity
(10:46):
and what type of media rights deal you could get.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Look at the NFL BEINGO, you.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Think Carolina or Pittsburgh or Dallas would make as much
money if they were trying to do it individually, or
they it did break it down to division or whatever.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
No way, no way, no way, Because again going back
to that cliche with rising tides, right, all boats are lifted,
So why would you not want to look at that,
and that's what we've been saying that. And I know
even Greg Sankee, the SEC Commissioner, back at the SEC
meetings in May, he even said that he's got university
(11:26):
presidents asking why are we still in the NC DOUBLEA
or why are we still members of the NC DOUBLEA? Yeah,
So they're even questioning it. So I think there's something
that we're wanting to lose. Focus on the true solution, yeah,
or the logical solution. Maybe true is not the right word,
(11:47):
but a logical solution. And I'm not saying it's going
to be easy, oh not at all. But it seems
as humans, when there's adversity, right and there's challenges, we
might look the other way and say, ah, yeah, we'll.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Figure that one out later on.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
But let me go change, let me go expand march madness,
because I know I can do that and that'll be
a sense of accomplishment. But changing the world of college
athletics by uniting all of the conferences, that's a little
bit more daunting, and I get it. But at the
end of the day, I think that's going to be
(12:29):
where the logical solution lies, because that's going to lead
you to collective bargaining, and ultimately collective bargaining is going
to be the reason why you're no longer having all
of these lawsuits that we're starting to see more and
more of based on the House settlement. I also look
at it to your point, we turn our head away
from the problems. But at the same time, and this
(12:51):
can't be said for anything, but there are a lot
of problems, especially this problem right here. It can be
fixed with money, and money talks.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Money talks, and unfortunately, I think it's gonna take that
billionaire or other billionaires to step in and say, hey, yes,
maybe maybe this is the way to move forward, for
the NC DOUBLEA to look at it and go, hey,
you know what, they got a point. And this guy
I trust him because he's got a lot of money
and he seems like he knows what he's talking about.
Or these guys whoever it is that comes to them, Hey,
(13:19):
maybe we can fix this problem.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
That's probably what it's gonna take. I don't I don't.
I don't know that it matters.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
How many coaches or universities or players step forward until
somebody big enough comes in that the NC double A
respects and can listen to. I don't know that you're
really gonna have a whole lot of change, or if
you are, it's gonna take a lot longer. Where somebody
like this steps in, maybe they can expedite the process.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
There's no question that money can make things more convenient.
It's not gonna solve all the problems. We do know that,
but yes, and it can expedite things for certain and
having business people involved does help. And that's why it's
not going to be a Congress solution.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
It's just not right. We're going to continue to have lawsuits.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
We need some business acumen that's going to be involved
here because we do know it's big business. And that's
what the point is that stop shining away from saying
that it's not big business.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
It is big business. It is, Yes, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
We have to understand that and move forward. And it's
not nil, it's pay for play. So let's get to
that point, and so you can view them as employees.
You can then get into that arena of collective bargaining.
And even Cody Campbell, the Texas tech billionaire, has come
out and said, hey, you know what, it would be
(14:35):
a lot easier if I just continue to funnel a
lot of money to Texas Tech, and we tried to
be the best Texas Tech we could be in all sports.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
And I'll fund it all. I don't care.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, because he played there, but he's viewing it from
a bigger picture standpoint, at a global perspective. Yes, exactly,
Let's do it so every boat is lifted.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
And that's where I think we need to get to
at some point.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
All right, when we come back, we'll talk with Brian Kite,
author of Daily Discipline newsletter The Coach to the Coaches,
as we will look at some behavioral performances and break
down F one the movie and why we love comeback
stories much more. Right after this, the Wednesday edition of
(15:22):
the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets continues right
here on one O four nine, Fix Sports Upstate and
remember we will be having trivia question and just a
little bit yes, your opportunity to win a twenty five
dollars gift card to Autobil car Wash. So get ready
for the trivia question and just a reminder of the
(15:42):
text number is eight six four triple seven ninety five
ninety three. Again that number is eight six four triple
seven ninety five ninety three, and I do have a
good one today, Trey.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
I think I'm gonna stump some people.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Oh Okay, it's NBA, I know, but NBA something's going
on right now, so that's why it's relevant. I know
we're going to be talking a lot college football and NFL,
but I'm going to NBA A little bit old school here,
all right. Yeah, So I mean again that's I grew
up just loving the NBA, you know, So there's that
part of it too. So I know some people might
want to have some college football trivia or NFL and
(16:17):
we will.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
We've got plenty of time for that all summer.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
But yes, and we'll see if I can stump some
people a little bit later with the trivia question, so
stay tuned for that. But right now, it is our
time each week that we get to talk to my
good friend BK. Brian Kite, author of Daily Discipline newsletter
and you can find out all his information at dailydiscipline
dot com. The coach to the coaches, as we like
(16:41):
to say, helping us understand behavioral performances. And Bka, I
know we talked last week and you told me to run,
not walk, to go see f one the movie and
see it in Imax. And I did convince Julian and
my wife to go see it and we saw it
absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
So you deliver on the recommendation, my friend brother.
Speaker 4 (17:03):
I did not.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
I hope I didn't steer you wrong.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
No, you did not. So here's the thing though.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
When I left the movie theater though, so having to
travel on the Interstate on I three eighty five, there's
like six lanes and there's hardly anybody out on the road, Brian,
and next thing I know, I'm like, I'm holding the
steering wheel at ten and two and I can see
myself as Sonny Hayes, the F one driver going.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Down the road.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So that was my only caveat is that, man, I
got slow down after watching that movie.
Speaker 4 (17:37):
It's so funny. My son was reading a book last
night and the phrase.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Pedal to the metal was in the book and he
read it.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I asked him to do it and ask him if
you knew what it meant, and he said, yeah, I
means go fast. And I was like, right, but do
you know what pedal to the metal like?
Speaker 6 (17:49):
Do you know what the like? The phrase it?
Speaker 4 (17:51):
I had to describe what it means to put the
pedal to the metal.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
And boy, that boy, that movie does it? Man that
does that movie? Was it?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
No question?
Speaker 2 (18:01):
And the soundtrack everything around it. And I found myself
now like wanting to go find like three tennis balls
and bounce them up against the wall.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I mean, there's all types of things.
Speaker 4 (18:09):
I slipped the cards and I'm not gonna lie to you.
Speaker 6 (18:12):
I'm not gonna lie to you. I told you.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
But like Hans Zimmer, he did the soundtrack, and you know,
Hans Zimmer did Inception, Hans Zimmer did in your Celler,
Hans Zimmer did, he did dun Kirk, he did the
Dune movies. I'm telling you what, may you throw the
Hans Zimmer half of that soundtrack on all his stuff
of that f one movie can go? You sit back
(18:34):
and you will realize. I text my brother and a
guy that I saw with my one of my college
football buddies. Listening to it the next day and I
was like, just listening to the soundtrack confirmed that half
the enjoyment of that movie came directly out of Hans
Zimmer's music, which is very much It's very much Hans Zimmer.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
So that's right, Yes, it emotionally brings you back once
you've watched it. There's no doubt the emotions that are
pulled with that music. And I did download it again
based on your recommendation. It's it's fantastic. Brian Kitite is
our guest here on the Wednesday edition of the Richmond
Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets. And remember the author
(19:14):
of the Daily Discipline newsletter and find out more information
at Dailydiscipline dot com. All right, so I do have
to ask you though this Brian, in reference to this movie,
and this is a story that we have seen so
many times, but it's a formula that seems to work.
These comeback stories like Sonny Hayes, you know, Brad Pitt's character,
(19:35):
it seems to whatever captivate audiences. And I guess you know,
the the redemption themes, the perseverance. You know, why do
you think that we as human beings, why are we
so drawn to these type of narratives and these comeback stories.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
I mean, the the there's we could do, We could
do more than our segment on this preseular conversation, you know.
But the simple answer, the simple answer is because I
think there's two sides of it. One is the alternative
is not interesting at all? Which is which is you know.
Speaker 6 (20:15):
Picker, sport, picker whatever. A guy races cars.
Speaker 4 (20:20):
He's very good early, and then he wins all the
time and has an amazing career and wins a lot,
and everything goes the way he wants, and his wife
loves him, and his children always agree with him and
follow all of his direction. And then he gives a
bunch of his money to charity the rest of his children,
and he dies and he's a gigantic hero.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
Everybody loves him like that.
Speaker 4 (20:42):
That's not an interesting People aren't interested. You try to
make that and nobody. Nobody's gonna watch that. Yeah, and
then number and then number two. Number two is because
all of us know inherently that there's something standing in
our way. We all know that every one of us
knows there's something standing in our way, and more than
(21:06):
one thing, but keep it simple track. We all know
there's something standing in our way. When we read a book,
when we read a story, when we when we watch
a movie, we put ourselves into.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
This.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
It's a transference of their life and imposing onto ours
of our mind into that character and what it is
is it's our chance to live out what we would
do and how it would feel.
Speaker 6 (21:37):
Without risk to us.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
So we actually get to live the feeling of pain
and struggle and disappointment and and I'm not giving anything
in the way in the movie, but you know, he
he you know, he's got you know where he's got
his struggles and he's got his you know, he's got
kind of his weak points. And we kind of get
to live out some of that of there. But we
get to do it in the risk free setting up
(22:01):
our living room or you know, reading our book or
watching the movie. And then we also got to experience
the elation and the joy. And there is no end
to that right there.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
For us, there's no end, you know in our lives.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
Wait, we're doing our jobs, we're doing our rempeding, we're
we're doing our pickup games, or we're watching our kids,
and and there's not like there's some end where it's like, man,
I've experienced enough, I've experienced enough joy where I don't
need to experience joy anymore.
Speaker 6 (22:24):
Or I've experienced enough victory.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
I don't need to experience another victory again. Even if
we retire. It's not like we're done with victory. We're
still when we retire, we're still trying to go find
more enjoyment. So there is no there is no end
to this. I mean this this goes back to you know,
if you're if you're interested in it, the Joseph Campbell
I'm actually staring at one of those books here right now. Ironically,
Joseph Campbell identified this in The Hero's Journey. They all
(22:49):
follow the same arc, and then it's it's a very
well structured arc. And then the art is just how
you make it come to life, right, It's how you
make it.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Come to life.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
And so you've got They's a Thunder, which is another
racing movie, or you've got what was the racing movie
with with Matt Damon and Christian Bale. Great, yes, all
such a such a cool movie, right, different than f one,
but but each of these follow the same They follow
a very a very familiar template.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
And then it's just it's the art.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
It's like painting, like painting a picture of a person.
Not every painting of a person is good, or a
scene or a setting is good. But man, when you
have a great artist, it doesn't need to be something new.
Speaker 6 (23:33):
It just needs to be well done.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, there's no doubt about it. And obviously Joseph Kazinski
and the whole crew there behind F one did a
fantastic job being able to quote unquote paint that picture.
But I'm curious, like for tying it into like E
plus R equals zero, event plus response equals outcome. So
how you know, can you how can that framework be
(23:59):
part of it of being able to step out of
that risk free zone that we're seeing, but be able
to maybe take some motivation you know, from a movie,
a story like that, but then utilize some framework to
apply it into your own life to move past that
obstacle that's holding us back.
Speaker 6 (24:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
So here's what's really interesting, rich And I realized this
I was reading.
Speaker 6 (24:26):
Some things a few years ago.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
And obviously I work with with you know, a huge
part of my work is working with coaches, working with executives, businesses, companies, athletes, teams,
and most of the people that I'm working with are
competitive in that they're trying to pursue an achievement, they're
trying to win something, they're trying to create something, trying
to build something. They're naturally competitive people. And then they're
(24:51):
maybe they're leading people who aren't quite as competitive, all
kinds of different dynamics, But a huge part of my
work is how do we get people to do the
hard things required to achieve the meaningful things? That's a
huge part of work. How do we get people ourselves first, right,
the people close to us probably next, and then the
(25:13):
people that were leading or competing with how do we
how do we get ourselves to do the hard things
to achieve the meaningful things? And a really interesting thing
emerged when you play are there any you play a
board games? You grow up, play any board games with
your family? Or now do you play you got to.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
Play any board games?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
Or what games do you.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
Guys like to play?
Speaker 2 (25:35):
I'm trying to Obviously Monopoly has been a big one
sequence is one that we play right now?
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yeah? So there's there are several Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, it was a great game. Right, so let's let's
even go back to something real simple.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Let's go to shoots and lockers.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Oh yeah, of course, here's what we have to understand.
A game is only interesting if there are constraints, barriers, challenges,
and something you have to overcome. Because if that game
was called ladders, it's not fun. If that game is
(26:13):
roll the dice and you go forward and up only,
the game loses not some of its interest, it loses
all of its interest. What makes the game enjoyable is
the presence of the shoot. It is the thrill of
I might fall behind or go down.
Speaker 6 (26:34):
When you play basketball, you.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Have to dribble. If you didn't have to dribble, or
there was no out of bounds, or or you know,
the basket was hip high, that that's not a fun sport.
If you go out and you play, If you go
out and you play pickleball against my five year old daughter,
that's not.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Fun for you. That's not enjoyable. You win every time,
you're not. You don't have to do anything.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
So here's here's what is fascinating. We love games because
of the friction and challenges and limitations that they put
in front of us, and we resent life for the
same reason.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
Wow, why do we do that?
Speaker 6 (27:21):
You don't play games?
Speaker 4 (27:23):
They're not interesting to you if they don't present a challenge.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Yeah, you don't.
Speaker 4 (27:27):
You go play golf against a ten year old who
doesn't really know what they're doing. It's not it's that's
fun to teach him fun. Fine, if it's your son, great, wonderful.
If it's a competition and you're playing against a thirty
five handicap and you're just playing straight up, that's not
even fun. But if you and I play were similar
handicaps and it's a tight match, that's the most fun.
(27:52):
So in sports and in movies, we love the barriers.
Speaker 6 (27:58):
Because that's what gives it the fat.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
That's what gives it the meaning, that's what gives it
the depth, That's.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
What gives it the joy. It is the joy.
Speaker 4 (28:05):
And then in life when the same stuff presents itself
in general life and some people figure this in business,
a lot of people have figured this out, not everybody,
but but but a lot of people in business have
figured out this sort of puzzle. But in life we
almost don't want those obstacles. We want the o to
be easier, we want the need to be less friction.
(28:25):
And then we get into a game and we're like, well,
I don't know, crank it up a little bit, but
not too far.
Speaker 6 (28:29):
And so there's an art to it, right, little scize,
little art.
Speaker 4 (28:32):
But one thing that can help a lot of people is,
you know, when you think about this in sports or
whatever happens to be enjoy, enjoy when the circumstance is
adding some limitations and constraints and barriers and you know,
whatever you want to call it, treat it like the
same way that you would treat you know, when you
(28:53):
play pickleball, why you have to let the ball bounce
one time on each side, Like, don't say, well that's
a dumb rule, that's unfair.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
No, it's just the rule. Yes, it's just the rule.
Speaker 4 (29:02):
Like, oh, you're not allowed to ground the wrist in basketball,
you're not allowed the goalpend You're like, well it's a
dumb roll up.
Speaker 6 (29:06):
Well, it's the rule. That's it.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Like without that constraint. Now here's the hard part. The
hard part is this. The hard part is that in games,
all those boundaries and all those rules are explicit.
Speaker 6 (29:20):
In life they're not.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
There's no boundary, there's no out of bounds. There's law,
there's law, but you know, even that can kind of
vary and it can change. But in life, there are
no established boundaries. There is no clear target, there is
no finish line of who wins and who loses. And
so we have to learn how to overlay some of
these things that we see in one environment a game
or a movie or whatever, and then lay it over
(29:44):
our life and say, why do I view my life
with such a different set of eyes than maybe I
go out and I play this game with and how
can I benefit?
Speaker 6 (29:51):
A lot of times we try to.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Say how the game is like life, but I think
sometimes we need to want we need to flip it,
and we say how can I make light a a
bit more structured like I view this game and then
overlay that on it and say, oh, this isn't a problem.
This is just simply part of the playing board. This
is the playing field, this is the structure, it's the boundary.
(30:13):
And now I can come and bring the same kind
of competitive effort and curiosity and fun to this as
I do to these games that I love.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Yeah, and so does it even tie into somewhat what
we talked about a little bit last week. Humans don't
like to be controlled, but they want to be in control.
So like in the sports, and you know you're talking
about the game, we like those rules, but in life
we don't like rules to a certain degree, and we
(30:42):
just have to kind of fight through the subjectivity those
gray areas that you're described in life.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Well, yeah, I.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Mean in a game. In a game kind of what's
nice as we're entering into a world that something into
a world somebody else created, and so we we enter
into the game. And the first thing you do if
you get brand new game is.
Speaker 6 (31:00):
Literally you read the rules.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
Oh, this is what you do because you approach the
game with the expectation of it is it's designed.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
To work a particular way.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
So for for you know, as you're as for those
of you who are listening, what I would say is
take that same thing and except now you get to
be part of the designer. You get to be part
of the design. You're the designer of how you do
that in your life. If you let somebody else dictate
(31:31):
the rules of how you're supposed to play, here's the problem.
Speaker 6 (31:34):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
If we're playing Monopoly or you know, we got a
new game with my kids, I'll forget what it's called.
But they put on these glasses and it turns everything
upside down, and then you pass around and everybody has
to complete these tasks and it's all in the inverse
upside down. It's super fun in a game. In a game,
it's cool because it's just a it's a little temporary.
It's a temporary and we accept that, we accept that
(31:55):
we're limited in these ways, and we acknowledge that that's
part of what makes it fun. Right in life, if
you let somebody else do that, it's not a it's
not a it's not a it's not a break from
your life. You're letting somebody else set the boundaries by
which how you live.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Don't do that.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
You get to set those, and then there's going to
be other players and they're going to be doing those.
But sometimes this is one of the hard things about
life is you know, and you see this.
Speaker 6 (32:24):
College football is dealing with this a little.
Speaker 4 (32:25):
Bit right now. Sometimes you realize there are two people
who are in a similar environment. Sometimes they're in the
same home. Sometimes they're you know, in the same family.
Sometimes we're in the same shulcal networks, and they are
playing two completely different games by two completely different sets
of rules, and one is expecting the other one to
operate by those rules for those pursuits. And at the
end of the day, at the end of the day,
(32:46):
I don't know, rich if you and I are pursuing
the same goal like we would if I was playing
trouble with my son yesterday, where we're both trying to
get all four of our pieces into the end, and
we're operating by the same set of rules. I don't
know if you're operating by the same set of rules
as me. I don't even if you're pursuing the same set.
So for me to get into this moment where I'm
in this kind of odd conflict with you or I'm
trying to make you operate a certain way, is no, no, no.
Speaker 6 (33:09):
I don't want you.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Creating rules for how I need to operate in my
life any more than I want to be creating rules
for how you need to operate in yours. So what
I do is I create a set of and this
is standards, rules, principles, et cetera. I create the ones
by which I'm going to operate, and so I try
to take equal sorryquo zoo, which exists outside of me.
But then I say, all right, here's what I'm going
to go do. And you know, for example, I have
(33:30):
one that I live by like I'm confident until I'm wrong,
and then I make corrections. I'm not going to live
my life. The rule I operate by is I'm confident
as my home base, and I push that forward until
I meet moments when I'm wrong. I'm not afraid to
meet those moments. I know that they're there, and trust me,
if I knew where I was wrong right now, I
would change.
Speaker 6 (33:49):
It, Like like it's such a weird thing.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Like sometimes like listen, like if you knew you were
wrong right now, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 6 (33:56):
You just change that.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
So if I knew all the ways in which I
was wrong.
Speaker 6 (33:59):
Current, I would just not do them. So I have
to be.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
Confident and then go out and bring that confidence into
my actions, try to solve stuff. Where I'm wrong, find it,
make the corrections. But where I'm right, I want to sprint.
I want to go, and I want to crush. And
now I don't want to wait to quote unquote earn
that confidence. I want to go do it and then
find out if I'm right or wrong or somewhere in between,
make those corrections and go. And sometimes people are going
(34:24):
to look at that and they're going to think whatever
they think, and they're gonna believe whatever they believe about that,
about me or anybody else who maybe lives that way.
But it's not like living passively and you know, not
having any confidence earns you some kind of massive respect,
and they build statues out of you due to your
you know, unbelievable meekness. Like nobody does that either. So
(34:44):
we might as well create a set of structures, principles,
and rules by which we live and play quote unquote
the game of life. By not that it means less.
But if I guess to close the thought and close
the loop, is football, basketball.
Speaker 6 (34:59):
All of this different stuff.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
It's ultimately just a game, but when you see people
playing at that level and they commit themselves to it,
it's obviously deeper and more meaningful than just a game.
And then the same thing works in life. By treating
life like a game doesn't minimize life. It actually helps
you deepen your engagement and relationship and meaning in it
because it helps you attack it in a more direct fashion.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
That helps you be a lot closer to who you.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Want to be, no question.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
And that's where the E plus R equalsz comes into
the whole overarching equation. That one equation right there can
be applied in so many different ways, and that's why
we love having you on here. Mister Brian Kite, author

Dailydiscipline dot com is where you can find out to

I could probably go for hours, oh yeah with Brian.
Him and I talk quite a bit and we have
(37:26):
some long conversations.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I just love being able.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
To apply a lot of what we talk about with
sports and life and how they are connected.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
And that's a different way to view it. That they
make life a little bit more like.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
A game, yeah than game is life. So I do
like that, and I do want to get to a
point where we talk about the text line. I do
want to get to a point where we can actually
have people texting end you might have some questions for
for Brian. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, So that's something that
we do need to think about. And speaking of the
text line real quick before we hit the break, to
(38:00):
give the text line number out eight six four triple
seven ninety five ninety three, because we have a trivia
question your opportunity to win a twenty five dollars gift
card from autobil car Wash. All right, you're ready, here
we go, Yes, let's do it again. Text line eight
six to four triple seven ninety five ninety three. The
first person to text in with the correct answer will
win the twenty five dollars gift card to Autobill car Wash.
(38:23):
There's been four MVPs in the past twenty five years
in the NBA that played all eighty two games. So
you had Michael Jordan, you had Tim Duncan. It is
actually thirty five years, so Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan, and
Kevin Garnet, who is the last MVP in the NBA
(38:48):
to play all eighty two games. So I just gave
you four in the past thirty five years. Michael Jordan,
Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett. But there's one other one
and he was the last one to do it, played
all eighty two games in the NBA and won the
MVP that season. Name that player eight six four Triple
seven ninety five ninety three, and we'll continue this Wednesday
(39:10):
edition of the Richmond Weavers Show presented by Engles Markets
right after this. The text line eight six four Triple
seven ninety five ninety three is open. Right now, we
do have the trivia question going on. Remember eight six
four Triple seven ninety five ninety three, And we do
(39:30):
have some Texters that have texted in trying to win
a twenty five dollars gift card to autobill car wash
here in the Upstate. And the question is the past four,
the last four MVPs who've played eighty two games, and
again we're looking at, you know, thirty five plus years.
Michael Jordan was one, he won the mvp'd played all
(39:51):
eighty two games. Then you had Tim Duncan. I'm going
to chronological order here. Tim Duncan, he did it, MVP
played all eighty two games. Kevin Garnett did it. After
Tim Duncan played all eighty two games and won the MVP,
and then after Kevin Garnett, there was a player and
he was the last player to play eighty two games
(40:14):
and be named the NBA MVP of the season. So
we're starting to see these MVPs are not playing full
eighty two games, So why are we continuing to push
eighty two games in NBA? We just go to a
shorter season, right, I think they're telling you something. Yeah,
they're telling you something. So I'm trying to get the answer.
Who is the last player in the NBA to be
(40:38):
named MVP and play eighty two games? And we've had,
you know, from Steph Curry names. Yeah, that's not correct.
A couple of those have come in and that's a
good guess though. Aw hey, you've seen Steph Curry. He's
he's an iron man at times. But that is not
the question. Lebron James is not the answer either. But
there's somebody else out there that is obviously the answer,
(41:01):
and we're searching for that. So right again, text that
end eight six y four, triple seven ninety five ninety
three Again, who is the last player in the NBA
to play all eighty two games and win the NBA MVP?
Text in that answer and you can have an opportunity
to win a twenty five dollars gift card from autobil
car wash. All right, let's take a look at some
(41:22):
of the latest headlines.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
It's only one game play.
Speaker 3 (41:26):
And that's the take care of.
Speaker 1 (41:27):
Ben hitting the latest headlines. It's the daily rundown.
Speaker 3 (41:32):
All right.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
Speaking of NBA, there's some other deals that are being
inked right now in the NBA, and we're talking Oklahoma City.
Chet Holmgren has signed a rookie Max deal and this
is where he's going to be making fifty million dollars
a year. Good prim rookie max five year, two hundred
(41:53):
and fifty million dollars. Who can and that's stipulated that
that's the max. It can be which all signs point
that it's you know, or all points or uh?
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Is that great? All sets point there you go.
Speaker 2 (42:09):
We're going to get that cliche right one of these days.
I need I need like a dictionary of all of
the cliches with those type of sayings, because you have
you move one word.
Speaker 3 (42:20):
And it's completely wrong. I need to get a whiteboard
and just all write it down totally.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
Yes, come on, producer extraordinaire, I need some help here
behind the mic come on now, yes, we definitely need that.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
But we also saw another deal.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
In the NBA, Devin Booker the Phoenix Suns.
Speaker 3 (42:37):
Yeah, we talked about this.
Speaker 2 (42:39):
We know that SGA with OKC was able to get
his bag of money, right, almost seventy two million.
Speaker 3 (42:47):
Dollars per year.
Speaker 2 (42:48):
Well, defen Booker, he got his deal two year deal,
one hundred and fifty million dollars max deal two years,
one hundred and fifty Yeah, that's he's to calculate that
seventy five million dollars a year for Devin Booker. And
this is a Phoenix Suns team. They're not good, right,
they are in the dumps. They just traded away Kevin Durant. Yeah,
(43:11):
so there's something to be said about that. So we
will see. How about this in college athletics, we talked
about it, how things are changing. Yes, Southern cal has
announced that they are eliminating up to ten positions in
their athletic department. It calls off cost cutting measures to
pay for revenue sharing. That's coming interesting. Oh yes, so
(43:36):
very interesting.

how that plays out. It is July ninth, So let's
walk back in a little bit of history.
Speaker 1 (45:24):
What happened on this day. Let's go back in history
to the moments you might have forgotten and the ones
you'll never forget. It's OTD on this day.
Speaker 2 (45:35):
Nineteen thirty two, the NFL would award a franchise to Boston.
Oh yes, all right, and the name the Boston Braves
would change their nickname to the Redskins in nineteen thirty three,
and then decide, yeah, let's go to Washington in nineteen
thirty six, and so they left, and then ultimately the
Patriots came there, and in nineteen sixty six Jack Nicholas
(45:57):
when the British opened, to join Jean Sarah's, Ben Hogan
and Gary Player as the only men to win the
four Majors.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
And we know that has changed now.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
And in nineteen sixty eight, Wilt Chamberlain became the first
reigning NBA MVP to be traded the next season when
he moved from Philadelphia to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (46:17):
Yeah, so it does happen.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
