the day, all of that forthcoming, very busy sports weekend
(01:25):
to recap Xanderschofley, that was man, I'm trying to I
kept trying to think what's the right word for it.
It was systematic, it was precision. He grabbed it and
never let it go. And that's not an easy golf
course to shoot a sixty five, certainly on a Sunday.
The conditions were a little more benign yesterday. But Xanderschoffley
(01:48):
with two majors now and shooting a sixty five the
final round. WNBA All Star weekend, everything is kind of
timing out correctly for the WNBA, and you had the
w NBA All Stars versus the Olympic Team and they
end up picking up the victory. But the last time
they played four years ago, the same thing happened. The
(02:09):
WNBA All Stars beat the Olympic team and Baseball Hall
of Fame induction ceremony as well. Adrian Beltray, Todd Helton,
Joe Mauer and Jim Leland. I don't know if it
happens on every plaque. I don't know if you can
go by your nickname, so they have your formal name,
your given name, and then with Joe Mauer it says
(02:30):
Joseph Thomas Maer something like that, and then it says Joe.
As if you might not recognize Joseph Mauer, Minnesota Twins catcher,
they make sure they put Joe there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's like, oh, so it's Joe Mauer. Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I never would have put one and one together there.
But I don't know if everybody has a nickname there.
I don't know if Joe Mauer said, hey, people aren't
gonna know it's me, the Minnesota Twins catcher who won
three batting titles.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
All right, we'll put Joe there.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
We're trying to find out who decides the nickname if
you want to put it. I mean, Joe is not
a nickname, is it. It's just Joe. It's not like
three fingers Brown.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
And that's not his given name, by the way, three fingers.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It is not it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yes, Joseph Patrick Mauer, thank you, Todd. Joseph Patrick Mauer
will reach out to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, but then it's like Joseph Patrick Moulin, Where Joseph?
Where have I heard that before? Joe Mauer, Oh, Joe
got it? Got it? Nicknames always get me. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Yes, even Joey could maybe be a nickname. If you
when someone's calling you Joey and your name is Joe.
But that's kind of ridiculous thing. Joe in quotation marks
on his.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Black thank you tod uh the Minister of Humor.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It's early thank you Todd n four.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yes, I'd say it's about half and half. I'm looking
at all the plaques. Some have nicknames, some don't. Like
Page Martinez just has his name up there.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
But then.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Willie Howard Mays has the say hey kid underneath his name.
Ricky Henderson Actually Ricky didn't really have a nickname.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
The Greatest of All Time.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Right, but it says man of Steel s the E
A L on this plat.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, the Man of Steel. Okay, but then Joe and
then someone else has Joe.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Well, this is of that ELK Randall. David Johnson have
you heard of him?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Randy Johnson.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
He's also known as Randy Johnson or the Big Unit
he's got two nicknames on.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
His Wait, they put Big Unit and Randy.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Not in that order. That went Randy and then the
Big Unit Randy, Big Unit, his hair coming out the
back of the plaquet.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay, yeah, I'm curious. Did did Todd Hilton have a
nickname on his planet?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
He did not.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Dereck Sanderson Jeter? Did he have a nickname?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Jeets?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
That's what we call DJ. That's what my mom calls Jeets. Oh, guys,
Adrian Beltray, nothing up there, Derek Sanderson g was the captain?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh he's the captain. Captain clutch h Jim Leland. Does
he have a nickname? Nothing up there? Okay? Skip?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, everybody's a skip, every.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Manager hey skip, hey skip? Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and you know,
you start to look at these players.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's weird how you go Is he a Hall of Famer?
Is he a Hall of Famer? Is he a Hall
of Famer? And I guess you're not supposed to.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
If you ask the question and you don't know the answer,
then they're not Hall of Famers. Adrian Beltrae I think
he started playing and he was like sixteen. Uh, compiler.
I don't think he was ever great. I think he
was great or very good, But I like it is
that what it comes down to, are you great? Steroid
(05:54):
era helped out some players. Remember when playing in Colorado
was a big deal, like, oh yeah, Larry Walker playing
in Colorado, Dante Boschett in Colorado, Todd Helton in Colorado.
We don't bring that up anymore. We don't go, well, yeah,
but they're playing at Coursefield. But that used to be
a huge thing. And then we got to put the
(06:15):
baseballs in a humidor and all of that. But uh, Todd.
You know. John Smoltz talked about Todd Helton last week
and he singled him out. He said, if I'm looking
at o'tani, there's kind of that Barry Bonds Todd Helton
kind of feel to it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
All right, got my attention with that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Joe Mauer won three batting titles for the Minnesota Twins,
and then Jim Lalan. He managed a lot of baseball games. Yes,
Paul John Andrew Smoltz no nickname on his play m Smoltzy. Nope, okay,
he's known as small Dot. Jonathan is John Okay, I
don't know who decides like, hey, can I have my
nickname on here?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Daniel Dan Patrick?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, I got my Hall of Fame plaque over here,
but nobody said, hey, do you want to be known
as deep or Hairdo or whatever it might be?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But nobody asked me about that.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yes, Dodd, if Mark Sleareth ever made the whole of fame,
would you want Stink? Would they allow Stink to be
on there, even though he's known as that?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, but you get a bust there, so I don't
know how much room you have. I don't know if
the NFL does nicknames. By the way, still trying to
name my boat. A lot of people over the weekend,
very important, trying to come up with the names for
my pontoon boat. And right now we have anchorman, we
have sports anchor. How about this one sailway to Heaven? Okay,
(07:39):
stairway to heaven, Big Zeppelin fan might be a little wordy,
but good friend Brad reached out and said, I got it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Drop the mic sail away to Heaven, yes, Todd?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Or does that force shadow some type of horrible pontoon accident.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Well, I've already found heaven. You know, when you're on
a boat, sun shining. You're fishing, you've already found it. Well,
thank you to all right, So a lot of things
to recap here. And then you had the US men's
basketball team against South Sudan and it went down to
the wire. All of a sudden, South Sudan going toe
(08:17):
to toe with Team USA. They were forty five point underdogs.
Here is the basketball coach for Team USA, Steve Kerr.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
The ending was good for us, just to feel that,
you know, to feel what it's going to be like
in Paris and Leelee, So good experience for us. Good
reminder that when we play against teams, it's the biggest
game of their lives and.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We have to expect everyone to play like that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, that could have been one of the biggest upsets
in the history of upsets. South Sudan doesn't have have
indoor basketball facilities. I think they might have gotten their first.
They kind of cobbled together a team. They don't have
NBA players on the team. Yes, we're gonna give you
our best. They're gonna give us their best. You were
(09:15):
still a forty five point favorite. Now I was curious.
I reached out to DraftKings. I said, all right, the
odds to win the gold medal. It's still Team USA
second on the list. Distant second is Canada, France, then Serbia,
and then Greece. Team USA has another friendly today and
(09:37):
that'll start in about I don't know, five hours from now,
six hours from now against Germany. I don't understand how.
Then the United States starts the Olympic schedule and they're
gonna face Serbia, who they've already faced, South Sudan, who
they've already faced, Germany, who they've already faced. I don't
(09:58):
understand that. Why would you like you're benefiting the United
States that, okay, we've seen what you got and okay,
it won't happen again with Seal Sudan. But I thought
maybe you would have them play other countries as opposed
to we're going to play you in a friendly and
then we're going to turn around, we're going to play
you for real. But Joe Varden of the Athletic was there.
(10:20):
He witnessed all of this. Is there any cause for concern?
You still don't have Kevin Durant able to play, and
uh Lebron just found out he's going to be the
flag bearer for Team USA. We'll talk about that. He'll
be the flag bear for the opening ceremony. See what's
pole question today? Well, you have a one.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Person poll question to start the show. Do you want
to hear Paul's suggestions or Todd's suggestions?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Let me hear.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Todd's Okay, great? Okareat now? Would you like them? Second
secondary pole question? Would you like me to read those?
Or would you like Todd to read those?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
How about Todd? Okay? Yeah? Great? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
The best choice for a halftime performer at the w
NBA All Star Game A was, in fact Pitbull B
would have been almost anyone else.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I never got pit Bull when he was pit Bull,
he had the one move.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Pit Bull's got hits. You guys are crazy, man. You
guys got like a dude with hits. OK for a bargain, I.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Oh, the white suit, come on, Dolly.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Mister, worldwide mister. He sounded like he was out of breath.
He did.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
He sounded out of shape. I don't know if he's
ever been in shape, but he sounded out of shape.
That just wouldn't I mean the w n B A
come on, give me, give me a little more there.
You know what it reminded me of pit Bull reminded
me of the MVP trophy that you get when you
are in the w NBA All Star Game and it's
(11:52):
you know, it's about I don't know, six inches high,
seven inches high and that's it. It's like a little wait,
that's what you got for the MVP.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's what it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Kind of reminded me of not quite not quite legendary
status here.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Yes see, is the WNBA All Star Game halftime show
a place where legends go.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I think this year because you had Caitlin Clark, you
had Team USA, you had the w NBA All Stars,
the fact that it was a competitive All Star game,
they're going into the Olympics, it just feels like there's
a lot of momentum and new TV deal. Like Katie
Perry has a new album out and she's starved for attention.
(12:37):
You could get her there, Miley Cyrus, you could get
Miley Cyrus to play, she's got hits.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't know if you could get Ed Sheeran to
show up.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
But these are some big names you're mentioning, is that
these are they are very big names you mentioned.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yes, Yeah, Katy Perry's got a new album out, like
you can't get, but you could get Katie Perry could
It feels like you could get and it was in Arizona.
Maybe you get I don't know. Country star Laney Wilson
in there. Very very popular. Now, yes, Hunt, I think.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
You bring out Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo. One's wearing
the w NBA All Star Game uniform and one's wearing
Team USA. Okay, and let them do a couple of
songs together separately whatever. They're two of the biggest deals
in recent years.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Anyway, thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think you've given a lot of thought, including their
wardrobe there. You would prefer you would you would be
okay if it was for wink at that, wink at that?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
All right? So that's the pit Bull at halftime. You
got hits. He's got a ton of hits a long
time ago. Okay, wait it hits? Are you guys? Okay?
With pit Bull? Yesterday? Marvin yes or whatever? It was
performed at the Super Bowl. Who don't compare the Who
to pit Bull? Who said they had hits?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
They're one of the legendary groups of all time. Great,
but you said in the history of music, you'll mention
the Who. You will never get to Pitbull to you, I.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Don't know why you're mentioning the who, but I guess
they will. Be yon doesn't.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
I mean, I guess they have to be just because
people won't stop mentioning them.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
But still performing, right, and they can do the Super Bowl?
Why can't Pitbull do the WNBA All Star Game? Dollar
w NBA All Star Game?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We're talking right, Well, well, hold on, you're telling me
that Pitbull was something, you know, he lowered himself for
the w NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
No, but if you guys are like, how about Beyonce
what she wants to a new audience, you can't say no,
I did.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Not say Beyonce.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I appreciate it, but it's not that's not happening. Getting
Pitbull is a hell of a coup.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
He probably asked them, Hey, uh yeah, we gotta find
somebody here.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Hey, I'll do it. Yeah, Okay, we'll get back to you.
How about Madonna? What is she doing right now?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
She's not doing Yes, that would have been nice. Madonna's
not doing anything now. Any other musical groups that you
could think of that probably would have fit in a
little more than Pitbull.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Okay, so you weren't surprised when you saw pitbulls.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I no, I mean he seems to make a living
doing exactly those kinds of things. He shows up at
random events and it's like, hey, Pitbulls here.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Great.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He doesn't get invited to those weddings in India, Like
they're not inviting pitbull are they?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No, that you know they should? How about Justin Bieber?
I would not be You're crazy.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
He just got paid ten million dollars to do a
party in India's got to come through the w NBA
halftime show?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Why not all starting if he says, look, my wife
is a huge fan, and uh, you know I wanted
to be part of the festivities.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What about Hoody and the Blowfish Darius would be good?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Country, yeah out there in Arizona? Yes? Did DJ Khaled
turn things down? Another one? What does he do?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I don't okay, I'm sure he's got hits, and I
don't want DJ Khaled's group to, you know, his posse
to come after me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But I don't know if I know any of his music.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
He says another one, several times, over and over again.
That's what he does. He produces.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think okay, music, Okay, yes, poling.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I went back that a couple in India and the
and Bonnie family. They had both Shakira and Pitbull at
their second pre wedding party a combo skle.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Is that a joker? Serious?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I would never joke about pimple?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You know? Okay?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Sorry mat and my apology Okay, my my bad, though,
my bad. But if you gave me Shakira and Pitbull, Okay,
if you get either one of them at a party,
it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
It's gonna be great. Shakira would be pit Bull is
not awesome.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
If you're at a party and Pitbull walks out and
starts doing all, you're like, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
If he's playing in my backyard, you're in.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
He's got the white suit on. I know, yes, you
guys are. Let me take a break.

or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Mention the odds after the scared with Team USA versus
sounds to Dan, so team USA is still the overwhelming
favor to win the gold. Then it's Canada, followed by France,
Serbia and Greece. Joe Varden was there covering the event
for the Athletic joins USA on the program. Joe, thanks
for joining us. What exactly did you expect going into
(19:16):
this game.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
The South to the South Sudan game?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (19:21):
Uh yeah, you know what. I honestly, I thought that
USA would win going away, that this would be another
thirty point drubbing. You know, I was there with South
Sudan and Manila when they qualified, and I had actually
sat down with common maluwash who's going to duke? I
(19:44):
really like them. I just thought, you know, I thought,
after what we saw against Serbia where the United States
was just dominant, I thought we would we would see
the same.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
When did you start to get the inkling that they
weren't going to go away?
Speaker 11 (20:01):
So This is the part where we need to have
a little bit of a conversation because when you see
South Sudan play the way they were playing early in
the first quarter, you almost immediately remember that since I
started covering this team USA five years ago, I've seen
(20:21):
them lose nine times. Think about that, nine times with
rosters of twelve American stars. So this is a thing
that happens. I was there when Nigeria been the United
States in Las Vegas. You know, I've seen all the
losses of Manila and on and on and on. And
it's true that the spread was crazy, like forty something.
(20:44):
And it's also true that none of South Sudan's players
are currently in the NBA. That is true, but they
have guys that they have Wnyan Gabriel, who is Lebron's
teammate on the Lakers, and they have JT. Thor who
was playing in Charlotte, and they had the kid that
played with the Bulls for a couple of years, you know,
(21:07):
off and on. And then they have Mayuwatch who's literally
going to do He's going to be Cooper Flag's opponents.
So this isn't you know, the South Sudanese in terms
of like what we would think of like without knowing
the backstory. I mean, most of these guys. They got
the leading scorer whose name escapes me. He went to Virginia,
he was born in Canada, you know, I mean he
(21:29):
played major American college basketball. So yes, it was a shocker.
Yes it makes you uncomfortable. But when you think about
who's actually on that team, and you think about what
has happened with US basketball over the last five years,
like it wasn't as big of a deal as we
want it to be.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, but there's the coronation. This is the greatest team
ever assembled. It's better than the Dream Team here.
Speaker 11 (21:56):
Yeah, yeah, by me too. I'm certainly guilty. Event I've
ridden it several times, you know, but this is this
is the Dream Team's fault. When the Dream Team was
created in ninety two, there was no global basketball. I
mean they were, of course, countries were playing it. But
the creation of that team literally led to what we
(22:18):
have today, to where these other countries are good. So
you know, the South South Sudanese, they are not Angola.
You know the team that that Michael Jordan and those
guys beat by eighty or whatever it was it's it's
not that. And I do recognize that that the Dream
Team was never challenged, and so the team that arguably
(22:41):
has better players on it than those guys shouldn't be
challenged either, except we forget what has happened in the
rest of the world. I mean, the current best player
on Earth is not Lebron's, it's not it's it's Nicola Jokic.
And if it's not Nicola, then it's Luca. And if
it's not Luca, then I guess we have to have
(23:03):
a discussion about Shay Gildess, Alexander or Gianni's chances.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Takupo.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
Neither of those guys are Americans. So, yes, the Americans
are the best team, They're the deepest team. They should
win the Gold. But it's okay if they get challenged,
because it's just a different landscape than it was in
ninety two.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
This is just a wake up call, not a red flag.
To you.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
Well, I think it's both. I mean, it's it like
we could say it's a red flager, we could say
it's a reminder. I mean, did you know. I mean,
you you're very busy man. You've got a lot of
sports to keep track of. But did you know they'd
lost nine times in five years? I did not, Okay,
I mean, so think about that, like we every four years,
or if if you happen to pay attention to the
(23:48):
World Cup, then two years out of every four we
tune in and we're thinking, oh, yeah, team USA loaded,
they're gonna win, They're gonna run, you know, blow everybody
out by fifteen or twenty points. And it's actually not
like that anymore for a few reasons. But even when
we get to these Olympics, you know, the last USA
team that had Durant and Drew Holliday and Tatum and
(24:10):
Booker Dame Lillard was on that team. Those guys, they
lost to Australia in Las Vegas. They lost to Nigeria
in Las Vegas, and then we went to Tokyo. In game
one that counts, they lose again to France. So I mean,
these are things that happen, and it's a good reminder
of how difficult this can be. I do think it
(24:33):
was a wake up call too, and Steve Kerr had
taken a lot. He tried to take the blame, saying
he didn't have this team ready. The Americans did not
do their normal pregame work. They did not shoot around.
They got to the arena late because traffic here stinks
and the tunnel right out in front of O.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Two is closed, so all their.
Speaker 11 (24:57):
Stuff was thrown off. And it's a reminder that it
does matter who they play. Once we get to lele
it's gonna be the same thing. Every time they're going
to shoot around, They're going to prepare, they will be
ready to go, because I do think when this team
is ready to go, they're hard to stop. And just
look at what happened in the second half. Lebron was
out of his mind, and you know if it's if
(25:18):
he's not going to do it, then Steph Will or
aunt Will or Davis that plenty plenty of weapons. They
just have to be focused and locked in.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Were you able to talk to Lebron about the honor
of carrying the torch?
Speaker 11 (25:31):
No, because that that just happened, and they don't do
access in the mornings for shoot around, so we will
see him tonight. We were talking not with Lebron, but
uh you just before the South sud ann game, talking
with some of the USA officials about would there be
(25:52):
a flag bear coming off of this team and no
one actually knew, which I thought was pretty cool. They
they hadn't they didn't know. Oh yet when you know,
I think the vote was counted over the weekend. Now,
to keep in mind that there's going to be a
female athlete too, there's always two and so if I
had to guess, I don't know this, but I would
(26:13):
guess Simone. You know, I think that's a pretty powerful
one two punch there of Lebron and Simone Biles as
the US flag bears. But I guess we'll we'll find
out Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Great stuff as always, Joe, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 11 (26:24):
Okay, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's Joe Varden, senior NBA writer for the athletic covering
Team USA as Team USA survives South Sudan. I thought
Katie Ledecki would get the call. Has Simone Biles carried
the flag before an opening ceremony?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yeah, I've got a list that I'm ninety percent sure
is correct. They have people either care for the opening
or closing ceremony. Simone Biles twenty sixteen Summer Olympics cared
for the closing ceremony, Michael Phelps for the opening.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
I there's never been a men's basketball player carrying it
and closing or opening.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well, Kevin Durant is more more Olympics than Lebron is.
Now I know he's not. He's been banged up, so
I don't even know if he's going to play. But
I guess this is voted on by fellow Olympians, so
I'm not going to argue with who they're voting for.
I'm just curious that Katie Ladecci is the Olympics, has
been the Olympics. Katie Ladecci and Simone Biles would be
(27:20):
awesome walking in together, but I guess if you have
to have a man and a woman a competitor walking
in Lebron was a little surprising for me, but Katie
Ladeci or Simone Biles that'd be great as well. I mean,
I don't want to get caught up in it because
it's Lebron, because normally we're like, who's the person who
(27:43):
brought in the flag opening ceremonies or he didn't choose it,
and I think sometimes he gets criticized for things that
aren't his fault or his doing. They voted for him,
that's fine, but I would certainly have Katie Ladecci there
with everything that she's done and Simone Biles, either one
be fine with them, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I'm looking at the list, the all time list, and
traditionally it's an athlete who's not in a pro sport
who carries it. The only famous ones who've carried it,
like where breakout athletes are Biles. Sue Bird carried it
a few years ago. She was voted by her teammates
Mia Ham years ago, Dawn Staley many years ago. But
it's usually it could be a Nordic combined or a
(28:24):
fencer or a luge athlete. Yeah, it's not necessarily the
famous people.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, but if they voted on Lebron then fine, No,
not gonna harp on it. Other than if you're gonna
have somebody who is truly like an amateur in the Olympics,
then you know, Katie Ladecki or Simone Biles, to me
would make the most sense.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Ladeki would go in front of a couple of other countries.
She would like start lill. She would yeah, she'd lap.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
The field, he'd laughed some people. Yeah, all of a
sudden she'd be walking.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But then she would catch up with you know, a
country and then lap that country as well. Does she
win a race where she basically is at one end
of the pool and the closest competitors at the other
end of the pool, Like that's that just doesn't happen.
That's what's amazing because normally it's like by a tenth
(29:13):
of a second that you end up, well, he touched it, No,
Michael Phelps winning. Oh it will all you know, photo
finish here. That's one of those where you know, she's
working on her speech as she's doing the final fifty
meters and then I'm gonna thank Tommy and Jimmy and
then I'm gonna thank my coach and Boa kind of
(29:36):
takes the drama out of that with the Olympics, Yes, Todd,
I agree, Thank you, Tod. All right, Poll questions. Do
we have another poll question? We have Todd?
Speaker 7 (29:48):
Oh, Todd has another one here that does. But we
also have one off of that first segment. Okay, when
will Pitbull enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in the next five years?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Am I being told to stay in my lane?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
You know you weren't told by one person to stay
in your lane and they are also the same person
that suggested pit Bull will be in the Rock.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
And Roll Hall of Fame one day.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Wow. However, I think, yeah, I think I think there's
a little bit of like, uh, I don't know. For
some reason, the Who is dominating the conversation. Now, which
who wouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Great for this. That's not the right thing, that's not
at all. Yeah, it's not fair to the who. If
pit Bull gets into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
I will go to the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame for his yes enshrineman in induction ceremony.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, I will try to go to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame because when Green Day went into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they you know,
they had their display there, and then I made it
a point to just go to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame when I was in Cleveland just to
see the Green Day display, and then I took pictures
and send it to the dan ch just to say,
(30:54):
all right, okay, I'm showing my respect.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Oh now I get it. Now, I see why they're in.
Got it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
No, I still don't see why they're in, but it's
I mean, they got hits and Billy Joe has been
a great front man and I get on to that,
but pit Bull is not going into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Oh hot, take scalding. Okay, I just checked on eligibility,
which I can't believe. I'm looking this up. In twenty
twenty nine, the pit Bull is eligible. Time show will
be over. Well, now you have a reason to keep going.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Well, we'll come back for one show and one show only.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Do we do it like the bands do it where
you know they retire, we're not touring anymore, and then
all of a sudden, it's like, let's come back for
one show.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Let's go back on tour. Yes, Paul, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Like Larry David and Kurby your enthusiasm. We go away
for a year or two, three, four, and then we
just do another season. We just come back in September
and do a football semm Yes, Ton, Well, we just
pop up at.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Some local bar and all of a sudden do a
show that was not the nouns to a promoter or
anything like.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They like to do it, something like Okay. Then word
gets around. Then all of a sudden, it's chaos because
we're there doing a podcast with Pitbull with pit Pull
he will be the opening act, or he could be
the closing act. You know, maybe we get Shakira and Pitbull.
The show all right, just getting started. Best and worst
(32:22):
of the weekend. Yes, we're still taking suggestions for naming
my pontoon boat as well.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
We're back after this.

Four one hundred and seventy three three.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's courtesy of AM five seventy LA Sports Dodgers Radio
Network at It's a big night for the Dodgers. Otani's
homer was one of six hit by the Dodgers, equaling
the most in the game by LA since they hit
eight in a game against the Diamondbacks in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
It's just the.

(33:50):
And by the way, shohe Otani did an interview last
night Sports Center and Stan Barrett and Sho Hayes interpreter.
I was like, Okay, didn't expect that, but the interpreter
was there with show Hey. Good to see, but it's
nice get him on Sports Center. See a little bit
(34:12):
more of show Hey, Tony. By the way, USA versus
Germany coming up at three Eastern today, that's the last
friendly before Team USA goes into their Olympic schedule. Watching
Team USA versus the WNBA All Stars a lot of
fun and the word that kept coming up is competitive,
(34:34):
and that was fun. A lot of people were referencing
the NBA All Star Game and the WNBA competitive and
the back and forth and the fact that the WNBA
All Stars beat Team USA. Team USA is still the
huge favorite to win. We haven't seen the I guess
(34:54):
fallout from Team USA on other countries the way we
did with the Dream Team in nineteen ninety two. All right,
some phone calls here Buddha in San Francisco. Hey, Buddha,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (35:06):
What up?
Speaker 6 (35:07):
DP?
Speaker 13 (35:07):
Happy Monday boys, Let's go what's up Fritzy? Hey Dan?
Speaker 12 (35:13):
Do we have a stay in your Lane T shirt?
Speaker 13 (35:16):
I mean that might be consideration.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
We don't be careful with the fitball situation, Dan.
Speaker 13 (35:21):
We don't want a green Day break out again. But
the best of the weekend, Dan, my Dodgers in those
heaven white unis sweeping the Red Sox and show Hey,
Otani hit a moonshot that almost left Chavis Stadium. I mean,
dude is thriving considering all that happened at the beginning
of the sharing all these distractions with his interpreter, doesn't
(35:43):
seem like it's affecting him at all. And the worst
of the weekend USA men's team messing around with South
Sudan and almost finding out DP that showing from the
USA team was that was not good.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Thank you, Buddha us in La.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
I guess good morning, mister pastor. I hope you and
the boys had a good week. My god, this is
rince washing repeat. Budda just stole literally everything I had. Uh,
you know, you know, best of the weekend. Yes, so
you know, I'm sorry at literally everybody listening right now,
But the Dodgers were horrible going into the All Star break.
(36:22):
You know, we had lost I think like something like six.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Out of seven.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
It was bad. And then you know, we sweep the
Red Sox. I know they're not top tier contenders right now,
but still it's good to get a sweep. Right out
of the gate. Otani seventh home run of over four
hundred and fifty feet. The power that this man has
is literally just I didn't think he had that. I
honestly did it being an Angels fan who cares about them,
(36:45):
I never watched them, so didn't realize he had that power.
Worse of the weekend team USA doing what they did
literally one of the almost one of the biggest embarrassments
of all times. They better write that ship fast or
friends Germany. They're just going to eat them alive. And
the annoying part of the weekend, This is the annoying
part of the weekend, the Baseball Hall of Fame induction.
(37:07):
Why in the hell is it always during this season?
Do they not care? Do they not watch how the
other leagues do it, to make sure that everybody has
a chance to come and watch current teams, current players
and everything like that, the superstars of the current game,
to pay regard to the past superstars.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Of the game.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Why do they always do it while other games are happening.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yep, thank you, Gus. I will run that up the
MLB flagpole. Next time we have the commissioner on, I
will ask him about that. Uh Tom and Illinois, Hi Tom,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Say?
Speaker 14 (37:44):
Dan five ten? Imagine every one five they dance?
Speaker 3 (37:49):
They dan?
Speaker 14 (37:50):
Yeah, I apologize, but I'm stopping the contest. Oh vote,
I always fear I wasn't gonna get through. I know
your a hockey guy, and this is a puck drop,
not a mic drop. It's a little fretzy double on
tannger that you'll appreciate.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
The flow.
Speaker 14 (38:11):
The flow, the flow, the endless waves, endless hair, all
the flow.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
Yes, Todd, I didn't we didn't realize how it's hockey.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Did you talk about this early?
Speaker 7 (38:29):
What I learned today? Damn big hockey guy. Yeah, I
mean not huge, but big, not bad mouthing the Canucks.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Todd, I did pick the Stanley Cup winner before the
playoffs started.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Okay, I'll give you that.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Okay, thank you? Uh Nick in Texas? Hey Nick, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (38:49):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Good morning.
Speaker 13 (38:50):
Now I've got a sue names for your pun tune.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Okay, I was talking.
Speaker 13 (38:55):
Thinking about seed Daddy late Daddy or El Capitan and
in honor of your wife, El Capitano.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
El Capitan is nice. Well, thank you Nick. Once again,
still trying to locate that name. I think we got it.
You know, the mothership is pretty good. But then every
time I go to the boat, you know, I'm thinking
of ESPN, and that's probably not what I want to
be thinking of anchorman sports anchor. Maybe sports with just
(39:30):
you know, a picture of an anchor. I think those
things could possibly work out. Greg and Florida, Hi, Greg,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (39:39):
Good morning, gentlemen. Best and worst, best by far softly
beating the golf course. I was just outstanding watching him
dice it up. Worst gotta be honest with I thought
was Shane Lowry. I thought it was his tournament to win,
but he kind of choked at a chicken bone a
little bit there and said it away. I thought he
was gonna come back do it for how strong you
(40:01):
played the first time.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah I did too, Yeah, you know, playing in those elements.
But Xander Schaffley, that was systematic and just trying to
stay out of those bunkers and if you get in
those bunkers, then getting out of those bunkers. Scotty Scheffler,
normally a great putter, was not a good putter at all,
but that was one of those that were. There were
(40:23):
so many people on the leader board and then all
of a sudden there was separation, like they were just
falling off, and you know, it's it's the course. Now.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Of course there is you know.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I don't want to say choking, but there is the nerves,
the tension, everything that goes into that. But the weather
wasn't an issue, whereas the day before it certainly was.
But if you get a chance to go to Ireland
or Scotland and play in a true link style golf
course and just be around the people there and kind
of immerse yourself in the culture there and you understand,
(41:00):
you know who they are, what they are, how important
golf is. But also socializing. Everybody goes to the bar,
You bring your family to the bar, the kids are
at the bar and you just you get a truer
sense of what golf was like when we first started
these golf courses. You're like, that's the way nature made
(41:20):
a lot of these courses there. And if they're on
the water, there's a whole lot of trouble lurking. Yes,
here's one from Sean. Okay, thanks real quick. Okay, speaking
of on the water, okay.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
DP boat name.
Speaker 7 (41:34):
Going off of today's pitbull topic, stay in your lake,
Stay in your lake, stay in your lane. That's staying
stay in my lake with the pit bull, with the pitbull.
One hour in the book already, two more to go

the day, all of that forthcoming, very busy sports weekend
(01:25):
to recap Xanderschofley, that was man, I'm trying to I
kept trying to think what's the right word for it.
It was systematic, it was precision. He grabbed it and
never let it go. And that's not an easy golf
course to shoot a sixty five, certainly on a Sunday.
The conditions were a little more benign yesterday. But Xanderschoffley
(01:48):
with two majors now and shooting a sixty five the
final round. WNBA All Star weekend, everything is kind of
timing out correctly for the WNBA, and you had the
w NBA All Stars versus the Olympic Team and they
end up picking up the victory. But the last time
they played four years ago, the same thing happened. The
(02:09):
WNBA All Stars beat the Olympic team and Baseball Hall
of Fame induction ceremony as well. Adrian Beltray, Todd Helton,
Joe Mauer and Jim Leland. I don't know if it
happens on every plaque. I don't know if you can
go by your nickname, so they have your formal name,
your given name, and then with Joe Mauer it says
(02:30):
Joseph Thomas Maer something like that, and then it says Joe.
As if you might not recognize Joseph Mauer, Minnesota Twins catcher,
they make sure they put Joe there.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's like, oh, so it's Joe Mauer. Wow.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I never would have put one and one together there.
But I don't know if everybody has a nickname there.
I don't know if Joe Mauer said, hey, people aren't
gonna know it's me, the Minnesota Twins catcher who won
three batting titles.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
All right, we'll put Joe there.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
We're trying to find out who decides the nickname if
you want to put it. I mean, Joe is not
a nickname, is it. It's just Joe. It's not like
three fingers Brown.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
And that's not his given name, by the way, three fingers.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
It is not it.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Yes, Joseph Patrick Mauer, thank you, Todd. Joseph Patrick Mauer
will reach out to the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Yeah, but then it's like Joseph Patrick Moulin, Where Joseph?
Where have I heard that before? Joe Mauer, Oh, Joe
got it? Got it? Nicknames always get me. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Yes, even Joey could maybe be a nickname. If you
when someone's calling you Joey and your name is Joe.
But that's kind of ridiculous thing. Joe in quotation marks
on his.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Black thank you tod uh the Minister of Humor.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
It's early thank you Todd n four.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yes, I'd say it's about half and half. I'm looking
at all the plaques. Some have nicknames, some don't. Like
Page Martinez just has his name up there.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
But then.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Willie Howard Mays has the say hey kid underneath his name.
Ricky Henderson Actually Ricky didn't really have a nickname.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
The Greatest of All Time.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Right, but it says man of Steel s the E
A L on this plat.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Yeah, the Man of Steel. Okay, but then Joe and
then someone else has Joe.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Well, this is of that ELK Randall. David Johnson have
you heard of him?
Speaker 6 (04:25):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Randy Johnson.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
He's also known as Randy Johnson or the Big Unit
he's got two nicknames on.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
His Wait, they put Big Unit and Randy.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
Not in that order. That went Randy and then the
Big Unit Randy, Big Unit, his hair coming out the
back of the plaquet.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Okay, yeah, I'm curious. Did did Todd Hilton have a
nickname on his planet?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
He did not.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Dereck Sanderson Jeter? Did he have a nickname?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Jeets?
Speaker 7 (04:50):
That's what we call DJ. That's what my mom calls Jeets. Oh, guys,
Adrian Beltray, nothing up there, Derek Sanderson g was the captain?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Oh he's the captain. Captain clutch h Jim Leland. Does
he have a nickname? Nothing up there? Okay? Skip?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, everybody's a skip, every.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Manager hey skip, hey skip? Uh yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
So the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and you know,
you start to look at these players.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's weird how you go Is he a Hall of Famer?
Is he a Hall of Famer? Is he a Hall
of Famer? And I guess you're not supposed to.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
If you ask the question and you don't know the answer,
then they're not Hall of Famers. Adrian Beltrae I think
he started playing and he was like sixteen. Uh, compiler.
I don't think he was ever great. I think he
was great or very good, But I like it is
that what it comes down to, are you great? Steroid
(05:54):
era helped out some players. Remember when playing in Colorado
was a big deal, like, oh yeah, Larry Walker playing
in Colorado, Dante Boschett in Colorado, Todd Helton in Colorado.
We don't bring that up anymore. We don't go, well, yeah,
but they're playing at Coursefield. But that used to be
a huge thing. And then we got to put the
(06:15):
baseballs in a humidor and all of that. But uh, Todd.
You know. John Smoltz talked about Todd Helton last week
and he singled him out. He said, if I'm looking
at o'tani, there's kind of that Barry Bonds Todd Helton
kind of feel to it.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
All right, got my attention with that.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Joe Mauer won three batting titles for the Minnesota Twins,
and then Jim Lalan. He managed a lot of baseball games. Yes,
Paul John Andrew Smoltz no nickname on his play m Smoltzy. Nope, okay,
he's known as small Dot. Jonathan is John Okay, I
don't know who decides like, hey, can I have my
nickname on here?
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Daniel Dan Patrick?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Well, I got my Hall of Fame plaque over here,
but nobody said, hey, do you want to be known
as deep or Hairdo or whatever it might be?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
But nobody asked me about that.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Yes, Dodd, if Mark Sleareth ever made the whole of fame,
would you want Stink? Would they allow Stink to be
on there, even though he's known as that?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, but you get a bust there, so I don't
know how much room you have. I don't know if
the NFL does nicknames. By the way, still trying to
name my boat. A lot of people over the weekend,
very important, trying to come up with the names for
my pontoon boat. And right now we have anchorman, we
have sports anchor. How about this one sailway to Heaven? Okay,
(07:39):
stairway to heaven, Big Zeppelin fan might be a little wordy,
but good friend Brad reached out and said, I got it.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Drop the mic sail away to Heaven, yes, Todd?
Speaker 5 (07:50):
Or does that force shadow some type of horrible pontoon accident.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Well, I've already found heaven. You know, when you're on
a boat, sun shining. You're fishing, you've already found it. Well,
thank you to all right, So a lot of things
to recap here. And then you had the US men's
basketball team against South Sudan and it went down to
the wire. All of a sudden, South Sudan going toe
(08:17):
to toe with Team USA. They were forty five point underdogs.
Here is the basketball coach for Team USA, Steve Kerr.
Speaker 8 (08:27):
The ending was good for us, just to feel that,
you know, to feel what it's going to be like
in Paris and Leelee, So good experience for us. Good
reminder that when we play against teams, it's the biggest
game of their lives and.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We have to expect everyone to play like that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay, that could have been one of the biggest upsets
in the history of upsets. South Sudan doesn't have have
indoor basketball facilities. I think they might have gotten their first.
They kind of cobbled together a team. They don't have
NBA players on the team. Yes, we're gonna give you
our best. They're gonna give us their best. You were
(09:15):
still a forty five point favorite. Now I was curious.
I reached out to DraftKings. I said, all right, the
odds to win the gold medal. It's still Team USA
second on the list. Distant second is Canada, France, then Serbia,
and then Greece. Team USA has another friendly today and
(09:37):
that'll start in about I don't know, five hours from now,
six hours from now against Germany. I don't understand how.
Then the United States starts the Olympic schedule and they're
gonna face Serbia, who they've already faced, South Sudan, who
they've already faced, Germany, who they've already faced. I don't
(09:58):
understand that. Why would you like you're benefiting the United
States that, okay, we've seen what you got and okay,
it won't happen again with Seal Sudan. But I thought
maybe you would have them play other countries as opposed
to we're going to play you in a friendly and
then we're going to turn around, we're going to play
you for real. But Joe Varden of the Athletic was there.
(10:20):
He witnessed all of this. Is there any cause for concern?
You still don't have Kevin Durant able to play, and
uh Lebron just found out he's going to be the
flag bearer for Team USA. We'll talk about that. He'll
be the flag bear for the opening ceremony. See what's
pole question today? Well, you have a one.
Speaker 7 (10:40):
Person poll question to start the show. Do you want
to hear Paul's suggestions or Todd's suggestions?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Let me hear.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
Todd's Okay, great? Okareat now? Would you like them? Second
secondary pole question? Would you like me to read those?
Or would you like Todd to read those?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
How about Todd? Okay? Yeah? Great? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
The best choice for a halftime performer at the w
NBA All Star Game A was, in fact Pitbull B
would have been almost anyone else.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
I never got pit Bull when he was pit Bull,
he had the one move.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Pit Bull's got hits. You guys are crazy, man. You
guys got like a dude with hits. OK for a bargain, I.
Speaker 9 (11:22):
Oh, the white suit, come on, Dolly.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Mister, worldwide mister. He sounded like he was out of breath.
He did.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
He sounded out of shape. I don't know if he's
ever been in shape, but he sounded out of shape.
That just wouldn't I mean the w n B A
come on, give me, give me a little more there.
You know what it reminded me of pit Bull reminded
me of the MVP trophy that you get when you
are in the w NBA All Star Game and it's
(11:52):
you know, it's about I don't know, six inches high,
seven inches high and that's it. It's like a little wait,
that's what you got for the MVP.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
That's what it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Kind of reminded me of not quite not quite legendary
status here.
Speaker 7 (12:09):
Yes see, is the WNBA All Star Game halftime show
a place where legends go.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I think this year because you had Caitlin Clark, you
had Team USA, you had the w NBA All Stars,
the fact that it was a competitive All Star game,
they're going into the Olympics, it just feels like there's
a lot of momentum and new TV deal. Like Katie
Perry has a new album out and she's starved for attention.
(12:37):
You could get her there, Miley Cyrus, you could get
Miley Cyrus to play, she's got hits.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I don't know if you could get Ed Sheeran to
show up.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
But these are some big names you're mentioning, is that
these are they are very big names you mentioned.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Yes, Yeah, Katy Perry's got a new album out, like
you can't get, but you could get Katie Perry could
It feels like you could get and it was in Arizona.
Maybe you get I don't know. Country star Laney Wilson
in there. Very very popular. Now, yes, Hunt, I think.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
You bring out Sabrina Carpenter and Olivia Rodrigo. One's wearing
the w NBA All Star Game uniform and one's wearing
Team USA. Okay, and let them do a couple of
songs together separately whatever. They're two of the biggest deals
in recent years.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Anyway, thank you.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
I think you've given a lot of thought, including their
wardrobe there. You would prefer you would you would be
okay if it was for wink at that, wink at that?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
All right? So that's the pit Bull at halftime. You
got hits. He's got a ton of hits a long
time ago. Okay, wait it hits? Are you guys? Okay?
With pit Bull? Yesterday? Marvin yes or whatever? It was
performed at the Super Bowl. Who don't compare the Who
to pit Bull? Who said they had hits?
Speaker 2 (14:03):
They're one of the legendary groups of all time. Great,
but you said in the history of music, you'll mention
the Who. You will never get to Pitbull to you, I.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Don't know why you're mentioning the who, but I guess
they will. Be yon doesn't.
Speaker 7 (14:24):
I mean, I guess they have to be just because
people won't stop mentioning them.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
But still performing, right, and they can do the Super Bowl?
Why can't Pitbull do the WNBA All Star Game? Dollar
w NBA All Star Game?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
We're talking right, Well, well, hold on, you're telling me
that Pitbull was something, you know, he lowered himself for
the w NBA All Star Game.
Speaker 7 (14:50):
No, but if you guys are like, how about Beyonce
what she wants to a new audience, you can't say no,
I did.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Not say Beyonce.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I appreciate it, but it's not that's not happening. Getting
Pitbull is a hell of a coup.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
He probably asked them, Hey, uh yeah, we gotta find
somebody here.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
Hey, I'll do it. Yeah, Okay, we'll get back to you.
How about Madonna? What is she doing right now?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
She's not doing Yes, that would have been nice. Madonna's
not doing anything now. Any other musical groups that you
could think of that probably would have fit in a
little more than Pitbull.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Okay, so you weren't surprised when you saw pitbulls.
Speaker 7 (15:36):
I no, I mean he seems to make a living
doing exactly those kinds of things. He shows up at
random events and it's like, hey, Pitbulls here.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Great.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
He doesn't get invited to those weddings in India, Like
they're not inviting pitbull are they?
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
No, that you know they should? How about Justin Bieber?
I would not be You're crazy.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
He just got paid ten million dollars to do a
party in India's got to come through the w NBA
halftime show?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Why not all starting if he says, look, my wife
is a huge fan, and uh, you know I wanted
to be part of the festivities.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
What about Hoody and the Blowfish Darius would be good?
Speaker 6 (16:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Country, yeah out there in Arizona? Yes? Did DJ Khaled
turn things down? Another one? What does he do?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I don't okay, I'm sure he's got hits, and I
don't want DJ Khaled's group to, you know, his posse
to come after me.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
But I don't know if I know any of his music.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
He says another one, several times, over and over again.
That's what he does. He produces.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
I think okay, music, Okay, yes, poling.
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I went back that a couple in India and the
and Bonnie family. They had both Shakira and Pitbull at
their second pre wedding party a combo skle.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Is that a joker? Serious?
Speaker 4 (16:56):
I would never joke about pimple?
Speaker 3 (16:58):
You know? Okay?
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Sorry mat and my apology Okay, my my bad, though,
my bad. But if you gave me Shakira and Pitbull, Okay,
if you get either one of them at a party,
it's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
It's gonna be great. Shakira would be pit Bull is
not awesome.
Speaker 7 (17:13):
If you're at a party and Pitbull walks out and
starts doing all, you're like, holy crap.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
If he's playing in my backyard, you're in.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm not.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
He's got the white suit on. I know, yes, you
guys are. Let me take a break.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
U check in with Joe Varden of the Athletic He

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Mention the odds after the scared with Team USA versus
sounds to Dan, so team USA is still the overwhelming
favor to win the gold. Then it's Canada, followed by France,
Serbia and Greece. Joe Varden was there covering the event
for the Athletic joins USA on the program. Joe, thanks
for joining us. What exactly did you expect going into
(19:16):
this game.
Speaker 11 (19:18):
The South to the South Sudan game?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (19:21):
Uh yeah, you know what. I honestly, I thought that
USA would win going away, that this would be another
thirty point drubbing. You know, I was there with South
Sudan and Manila when they qualified, and I had actually
sat down with common maluwash who's going to duke? I
(19:44):
really like them. I just thought, you know, I thought,
after what we saw against Serbia where the United States
was just dominant, I thought we would we would see
the same.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
When did you start to get the inkling that they
weren't going to go away?
Speaker 11 (20:01):
So This is the part where we need to have
a little bit of a conversation because when you see
South Sudan play the way they were playing early in
the first quarter, you almost immediately remember that since I
started covering this team USA five years ago, I've seen
(20:21):
them lose nine times. Think about that, nine times with
rosters of twelve American stars. So this is a thing
that happens. I was there when Nigeria been the United
States in Las Vegas. You know, I've seen all the
losses of Manila and on and on and on. And
it's true that the spread was crazy, like forty something.
(20:44):
And it's also true that none of South Sudan's players
are currently in the NBA. That is true, but they
have guys that they have Wnyan Gabriel, who is Lebron's
teammate on the Lakers, and they have JT. Thor who
was playing in Charlotte, and they had the kid that
played with the Bulls for a couple of years, you know,
(21:07):
off and on. And then they have Mayuwatch who's literally
going to do He's going to be Cooper Flag's opponents.
So this isn't you know, the South Sudanese in terms
of like what we would think of like without knowing
the backstory. I mean, most of these guys. They got
the leading scorer whose name escapes me. He went to Virginia,
he was born in Canada, you know, I mean he
(21:29):
played major American college basketball. So yes, it was a shocker.
Yes it makes you uncomfortable. But when you think about
who's actually on that team, and you think about what
has happened with US basketball over the last five years,
like it wasn't as big of a deal as we
want it to be.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Yeah, but there's the coronation. This is the greatest team
ever assembled. It's better than the Dream Team here.
Speaker 11 (21:56):
Yeah, yeah, by me too. I'm certainly guilty. Event I've
ridden it several times, you know, but this is this
is the Dream Team's fault. When the Dream Team was
created in ninety two, there was no global basketball. I
mean they were, of course, countries were playing it. But
the creation of that team literally led to what we
(22:18):
have today, to where these other countries are good. So
you know, the South South Sudanese, they are not Angola.
You know the team that that Michael Jordan and those
guys beat by eighty or whatever it was it's it's
not that. And I do recognize that that the Dream
Team was never challenged, and so the team that arguably
(22:41):
has better players on it than those guys shouldn't be
challenged either, except we forget what has happened in the
rest of the world. I mean, the current best player
on Earth is not Lebron's, it's not it's it's Nicola Jokic.
And if it's not Nicola, then it's Luca. And if
it's not Luca, then I guess we have to have
(23:03):
a discussion about Shay Gildess, Alexander or Gianni's chances.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Takupo.
Speaker 11 (23:07):
Neither of those guys are Americans. So, yes, the Americans
are the best team, They're the deepest team. They should
win the Gold. But it's okay if they get challenged,
because it's just a different landscape than it was in
ninety two.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
This is just a wake up call, not a red flag.
To you.
Speaker 11 (23:26):
Well, I think it's both. I mean, it's it like
we could say it's a red flager, we could say
it's a reminder. I mean, did you know. I mean,
you you're very busy man. You've got a lot of
sports to keep track of. But did you know they'd
lost nine times in five years? I did not, Okay,
I mean, so think about that, like we every four years,
or if if you happen to pay attention to the
(23:48):
World Cup, then two years out of every four we
tune in and we're thinking, oh, yeah, team USA loaded,
they're gonna win, They're gonna run, you know, blow everybody
out by fifteen or twenty points. And it's actually not
like that anymore for a few reasons. But even when
we get to these Olympics, you know, the last USA
team that had Durant and Drew Holliday and Tatum and
(24:10):
Booker Dame Lillard was on that team. Those guys, they
lost to Australia in Las Vegas. They lost to Nigeria
in Las Vegas, and then we went to Tokyo. In game
one that counts, they lose again to France. So I mean,
these are things that happen, and it's a good reminder
of how difficult this can be. I do think it
(24:33):
was a wake up call too, and Steve Kerr had
taken a lot. He tried to take the blame, saying
he didn't have this team ready. The Americans did not
do their normal pregame work. They did not shoot around.
They got to the arena late because traffic here stinks
and the tunnel right out in front of O.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Two is closed, so all their.
Speaker 11 (24:57):
Stuff was thrown off. And it's a reminder that it
does matter who they play. Once we get to lele
it's gonna be the same thing. Every time they're going
to shoot around, They're going to prepare, they will be
ready to go, because I do think when this team
is ready to go, they're hard to stop. And just
look at what happened in the second half. Lebron was
out of his mind, and you know if it's if
(25:18):
he's not going to do it, then Steph Will or
aunt Will or Davis that plenty plenty of weapons. They
just have to be focused and locked in.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Were you able to talk to Lebron about the honor
of carrying the torch?
Speaker 11 (25:31):
No, because that that just happened, and they don't do
access in the mornings for shoot around, so we will
see him tonight. We were talking not with Lebron, but
uh you just before the South sud ann game, talking
with some of the USA officials about would there be
(25:52):
a flag bear coming off of this team and no
one actually knew, which I thought was pretty cool. They
they hadn't they didn't know. Oh yet when you know,
I think the vote was counted over the weekend. Now,
to keep in mind that there's going to be a
female athlete too, there's always two and so if I
had to guess, I don't know this, but I would
(26:13):
guess Simone. You know, I think that's a pretty powerful
one two punch there of Lebron and Simone Biles as
the US flag bears. But I guess we'll we'll find
out Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Great stuff as always, Joe, thanks for joining us.
Speaker 11 (26:24):
Okay, thanks for having me.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
That's Joe Varden, senior NBA writer for the athletic covering
Team USA as Team USA survives South Sudan. I thought
Katie Ledecki would get the call. Has Simone Biles carried
the flag before an opening ceremony?
Speaker 4 (26:40):
Yeah, I've got a list that I'm ninety percent sure
is correct. They have people either care for the opening
or closing ceremony. Simone Biles twenty sixteen Summer Olympics cared
for the closing ceremony, Michael Phelps for the opening.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
I there's never been a men's basketball player carrying it
and closing or opening.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
Well, Kevin Durant is more more Olympics than Lebron is.
Now I know he's not. He's been banged up, so
I don't even know if he's going to play. But
I guess this is voted on by fellow Olympians, so
I'm not going to argue with who they're voting for.
I'm just curious that Katie Ladecci is the Olympics, has
been the Olympics. Katie Ladecci and Simone Biles would be
(27:20):
awesome walking in together, but I guess if you have
to have a man and a woman a competitor walking
in Lebron was a little surprising for me, but Katie
Ladeci or Simone Biles that'd be great as well. I mean,
I don't want to get caught up in it because
it's Lebron, because normally we're like, who's the person who
(27:43):
brought in the flag opening ceremonies or he didn't choose it,
and I think sometimes he gets criticized for things that
aren't his fault or his doing. They voted for him,
that's fine, but I would certainly have Katie Ladecci there
with everything that she's done and Simone Biles, either one
be fine with them, Yeah, Paul.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
I'm looking at the list, the all time list, and
traditionally it's an athlete who's not in a pro sport
who carries it. The only famous ones who've carried it,
like where breakout athletes are Biles. Sue Bird carried it
a few years ago. She was voted by her teammates
Mia Ham years ago, Dawn Staley many years ago. But
it's usually it could be a Nordic combined or a
(28:24):
fencer or a luge athlete. Yeah, it's not necessarily the
famous people.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
Yeah, but if they voted on Lebron then fine, No,
not gonna harp on it. Other than if you're gonna
have somebody who is truly like an amateur in the Olympics,
then you know, Katie Ladecki or Simone Biles, to me
would make the most sense.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Ladeki would go in front of a couple of other countries.
She would like start lill. She would yeah, she'd lap.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
The field, he'd laughed some people. Yeah, all of a
sudden she'd be walking.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But then she would catch up with you know, a
country and then lap that country as well. Does she
win a race where she basically is at one end
of the pool and the closest competitors at the other
end of the pool, Like that's that just doesn't happen.
That's what's amazing because normally it's like by a tenth
(29:13):
of a second that you end up, well, he touched it, No,
Michael Phelps winning. Oh it will all you know, photo
finish here. That's one of those where you know, she's
working on her speech as she's doing the final fifty
meters and then I'm gonna thank Tommy and Jimmy and
then I'm gonna thank my coach and Boa kind of
(29:36):
takes the drama out of that with the Olympics, Yes, Todd,
I agree, Thank you, Tod. All right, Poll questions. Do
we have another poll question? We have Todd?
Speaker 7 (29:48):
Oh, Todd has another one here that does. But we
also have one off of that first segment. Okay, when
will Pitbull enter the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in the next five years?
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Am I being told to stay in my lane?
Speaker 7 (30:00):
You know you weren't told by one person to stay
in your lane and they are also the same person
that suggested pit Bull will be in the Rock.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
And Roll Hall of Fame one day.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Wow. However, I think, yeah, I think I think there's
a little bit of like, uh, I don't know. For
some reason, the Who is dominating the conversation. Now, which
who wouldn't be.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Great for this. That's not the right thing, that's not
at all. Yeah, it's not fair to the who. If
pit Bull gets into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,
I will go to the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame for his yes enshrineman in induction ceremony.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Yeah, I will try to go to the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame because when Green Day went into
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and they you know,
they had their display there, and then I made it
a point to just go to the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame when I was in Cleveland just to
see the Green Day display, and then I took pictures
and send it to the dan ch just to say,
(30:54):
all right, okay, I'm showing my respect.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Oh now I get it. Now, I see why they're in.
Got it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
No, I still don't see why they're in, but it's
I mean, they got hits and Billy Joe has been
a great front man and I get on to that,
but pit Bull is not going into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame.
Speaker 4 (31:12):

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Well, we'll come back for one show and one show only.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Do we do it like the bands do it where
you know they retire, we're not touring anymore, and then
all of a sudden, it's like, let's come back for
one show.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Let's go back on tour. Yes, Paul, let's do it.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Like Larry David and Kurby your enthusiasm. We go away

just do another season. We just come back in September
and do a football semm Yes, Ton, Well, we just
pop up at.
Speaker 5 (31:57):
Some local bar and all of a sudden do a
show that was not the nouns to a promoter or
anything like.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
They like to do it, something like Okay. Then word
gets around. Then all of a sudden, it's chaos because
we're there doing a podcast with Pitbull with pit Pull
he will be the opening act, or he could be
the closing act. You know, maybe we get Shakira and Pitbull.
The show all right, just getting started. Best and worst
(32:22):
of the weekend. Yes, we're still taking suggestions for naming
my pontoon boat as well.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
That's courtesy of AM five seventy LA Sports Dodgers Radio
Network at It's a big night for the Dodgers. Otani's
homer was one of six hit by the Dodgers, equaling
the most in the game by LA since they hit
eight in a game against the Diamondbacks in twenty twenty one.

It's just the.

(33:50):
And by the way, shohe Otani did an interview last
night Sports Center and Stan Barrett and Sho Hayes interpreter.
I was like, Okay, didn't expect that, but the interpreter
was there with show Hey. Good to see, but it's
nice get him on Sports Center. See a little bit
(34:12):
more of show Hey, Tony. By the way, USA versus
Germany coming up at three Eastern today, that's the last
friendly before Team USA goes into their Olympic schedule. Watching
Team USA versus the WNBA All Stars a lot of
fun and the word that kept coming up is competitive,
(34:34):
and that was fun. A lot of people were referencing
the NBA All Star Game and the WNBA competitive and
the back and forth and the fact that the WNBA
All Stars beat Team USA. Team USA is still the
huge favorite to win. We haven't seen the I guess
(34:54):
fallout from Team USA on other countries the way we
did with the Dream Team in nineteen ninety two. All right,
some phone calls here Buddha in San Francisco. Hey, Buddha,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 3 (35:06):
What up?
Speaker 6 (35:07):
DP?
Speaker 13 (35:07):
Happy Monday boys, Let's go what's up Fritzy? Hey Dan?
Speaker 12 (35:13):
Do we have a stay in your Lane T shirt?
Speaker 13 (35:16):
I mean that might be consideration.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
We don't be careful with the fitball situation, Dan.
Speaker 13 (35:21):
We don't want a green Day break out again. But
the best of the weekend, Dan, my Dodgers in those
heaven white unis sweeping the Red Sox and show Hey,
Otani hit a moonshot that almost left Chavis Stadium. I mean,
dude is thriving considering all that happened at the beginning
of the sharing all these distractions with his interpreter, doesn't
(35:43):
seem like it's affecting him at all. And the worst
of the weekend USA men's team messing around with South
Sudan and almost finding out DP that showing from the
USA team was that was not good.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Thank you, Buddha us in La.
Speaker 6 (36:00):
I guess good morning, mister pastor. I hope you and
the boys had a good week. My god, this is
rince washing repeat. Budda just stole literally everything I had. Uh,
you know, you know, best of the weekend. Yes, so
you know, I'm sorry at literally everybody listening right now,
But the Dodgers were horrible going into the All Star break.
(36:22):
You know, we had lost I think like something like six.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Out of seven.
Speaker 6 (36:25):
It was bad. And then you know, we sweep the
Red Sox. I know they're not top tier contenders right now,
but still it's good to get a sweep. Right out
of the gate. Otani seventh home run of over four
hundred and fifty feet. The power that this man has
is literally just I didn't think he had that. I
honestly did it being an Angels fan who cares about them,
(36:45):
I never watched them, so didn't realize he had that power.
Worse of the weekend team USA doing what they did
literally one of the almost one of the biggest embarrassments
of all times. They better write that ship fast or
friends Germany. They're just going to eat them alive. And
the annoying part of the weekend, This is the annoying
part of the weekend, the Baseball Hall of Fame induction.
(37:07):
Why in the hell is it always during this season?
Do they not care? Do they not watch how the
other leagues do it, to make sure that everybody has
a chance to come and watch current teams, current players
and everything like that, the superstars of the current game,
to pay regard to the past superstars.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Of the game.
Speaker 6 (37:26):
Why do they always do it while other games are happening.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yep, thank you, Gus. I will run that up the
MLB flagpole. Next time we have the commissioner on, I
will ask him about that. Uh Tom and Illinois, Hi Tom,
what's on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (37:43):
Say?
Speaker 14 (37:44):
Dan five ten? Imagine every one five they dance?
Speaker 3 (37:49):
They dan?
Speaker 14 (37:50):
Yeah, I apologize, but I'm stopping the contest. Oh vote,
I always fear I wasn't gonna get through. I know
your a hockey guy, and this is a puck drop,
not a mic drop. It's a little fretzy double on
tannger that you'll appreciate.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
The flow.
Speaker 14 (38:11):
The flow, the flow, the endless waves, endless hair, all
the flow.
Speaker 5 (38:23):
Yes, Todd, I didn't we didn't realize how it's hockey.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
Did you talk about this early?
Speaker 7 (38:29):
What I learned today? Damn big hockey guy. Yeah, I
mean not huge, but big, not bad mouthing the Canucks.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Todd, I did pick the Stanley Cup winner before the
playoffs started.
Speaker 5 (38:43):
Okay, I'll give you that.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Okay, thank you? Uh Nick in Texas? Hey Nick, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 15 (38:49):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (38:50):
Good morning.
Speaker 13 (38:50):
Now I've got a sue names for your pun tune.
Speaker 3 (38:54):
Okay, I was talking.
Speaker 13 (38:55):
Thinking about seed Daddy late Daddy or El Capitan and
in honor of your wife, El Capitano.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
El Capitan is nice. Well, thank you Nick. Once again,
still trying to locate that name. I think we got it.
You know, the mothership is pretty good. But then every
time I go to the boat, you know, I'm thinking
of ESPN, and that's probably not what I want to
be thinking of anchorman sports anchor. Maybe sports with just
(39:30):
you know, a picture of an anchor. I think those
things could possibly work out. Greg and Florida, Hi, Greg,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 15 (39:39):
Good morning, gentlemen. Best and worst, best by far softly
beating the golf course. I was just outstanding watching him
dice it up. Worst gotta be honest with I thought
was Shane Lowry. I thought it was his tournament to win,
but he kind of choked at a chicken bone a
little bit there and said it away. I thought he
was gonna come back do it for how strong you
(40:01):
played the first time.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yeah I did too, Yeah, you know, playing in those elements.
But Xander Schaffley, that was systematic and just trying to
stay out of those bunkers and if you get in
those bunkers, then getting out of those bunkers. Scotty Scheffler,
normally a great putter, was not a good putter at all,
but that was one of those that were. There were
(40:23):
so many people on the leader board and then all
of a sudden there was separation, like they were just
falling off, and you know, it's it's the course. Now.
Speaker 3 (40:32):
Of course there is you know.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I don't want to say choking, but there is the nerves,
the tension, everything that goes into that. But the weather
wasn't an issue, whereas the day before it certainly was.
But if you get a chance to go to Ireland
or Scotland and play in a true link style golf
course and just be around the people there and kind
of immerse yourself in the culture there and you understand,
(41:00):
you know who they are, what they are, how important
golf is. But also socializing. Everybody goes to the bar,
You bring your family to the bar, the kids are
at the bar and you just you get a truer
sense of what golf was like when we first started
these golf courses. You're like, that's the way nature made
(41:20):
a lot of these courses there. And if they're on
the water, there's a whole lot of trouble lurking. Yes,
here's one from Sean. Okay, thanks real quick. Okay, speaking
of on the water, okay.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
DP boat name.
Speaker 7 (41:34):
Going off of today's pitbull topic, stay in your lake,
Stay in your lake, stay in your lane. That's staying
stay in my lake with the pit bull, with the pitbull.
One hour in the book already, two more to go
