Speaker 2 (00:05):
We did it.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
We made it to hour one on this Wednesday. Morale
is high. I don't know what we're gonna learn today,
because yesterday we learned that Bears spawn. Fritzy taught us
that and very happy for that. Anything that you would
like to mention up front here, Todd as we get started.
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Only that I believe, other than possibly in a video game.
Speaker 5 (00:25):
Or two, that there are no real bear eggs that
this morning would be on the salmon side of.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Things, not the Bears.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Okay, and I got it.
Speaker 5 (00:32):

Stephen Jackson, co host of All the Smoke Form, NBA
player former pacer, will join us. Coming up Quinn Buckner,
Pacers broadcaster former NBA player.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
He will join as well. Come up with the poll.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Question, play of the Day, stat of the Day, All
to that fourthcoming tonight, it's the Timberwolves getting eight and
a half at the Thunder Game five as the Oklahoma
City Thunder try to close that series out Pacers. They're
up three to one as they beat the Knicks. And
if there's something I guess close to being a perfect
(01:23):
game in basketball, Tyrese Haliburton pretty close. Thirty two fifteen,
twelve rebound, zero turnovers. That's a pretty good night. And
he got his dad back in the building, and Tyrese
Haliburton after the win talked about that.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
I'm wondering if what went on with him, if that
was tough for you, and just if there were some
emotions about having him back in here tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Uh emotions.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
No. I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you guys. Here,
Like my dad is just fine, Like he lives just fine.
He's at the house watching the game, in a beautiful home.
There's obviously a lot of commentary around him, especially right after,
which I think some was warranted, some went too far.
But that's just sports, and that's just talking heads. I mean,
we I know, we're saying free Pops, and Pops is free,
(02:12):
but he was not in jail. He happened to be
in a very beautiful home, same very pretty watching NBA basketball.
He's just fun.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Good for him. I like him, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
And you can tell the non watchers because you're getting
a lot of people now talking about Tyrese Haliburton.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Is he a top ten player? People who didn't watch him,
didn't watch him.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now you know he was in obscurity in college with
Sacramento and maybe with the Pacers you could say that
as well. Not big media markets. But if you're watching,
then you've noticed that Tyrese Haliburton is here to stay.
Very good player. Now you're going to get the comparisons
with Jalen Brunson. Feels like they're different types of players.
(02:56):
What one team needs from one guy, the other one
needs something different from the other. But it's a great
match up here and right now, Tyrese Haliburton has the
upper hand up three games to one.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
All right.
Speaker 3 (03:09):

have the game coming up tonight. Okay, see tries to
close out Minnesota as the Timberwolves getting eight and a
half setan what's poll question for the first hour of
the program.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
I'm just looking to see if Tyrese Haliburton's gotten paid yet.
If he hasn't, I don't know where his contract status
is and what years and whatnot, but man, he.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Has he gotten paid up? Does anybody know?
Speaker 9 (03:58):
I wish it was a contract year for Tyrese Haliburton.
He's locked up. He's gonna be fine. He signed a
five year, two hundred and forty four million dollar deal
about a little over a year ago. He was making
forty two million this year. Three years from now he'll
be making fifty five six, which oddly will make him
like the eighth highest paid player in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
But in three years, and if his dad gets into
trouble again, he might have an even nicer house to
recline in.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
While he watches his son. All Right, so it must be.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Crazy to go from like making I don't know, like
five million a year to forty five a year. But
that's a significant jump.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, but has anybody had a bigger salary jump in
history than rock Perty? Then he go from nine hundred
thousand to what fifty or something like that if you
include you know, the guaranteed money.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
That's like really like NFL players get paid in lottery tickets.
Here's a big chunk of money, and then not much.
Here's another big uncle money and then not much after that.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, brock Perty in twenty twenty four made
a total nine and eighty five thousand dollars. Next year
he'll make at least forty one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, that's a that's a big pay race. That might
be the biggest all time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's where you go into your accountant and then you go,
h hey, my tax returns just a little bit different
this year. We're gonna need some write offs here, can
you write off Christian McCaffrey or Trent Williams George Kittle?
All right, so what's poll question? From the first down receipt.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Why don't we go with let's see more done Nick's Timberwolves.
Neither You could also go stars we could throw in
there too.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because aren't we three to one with
all of these series?
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Does that sound right? Easily?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Go Hurricanes, nixt Stars, Timberwolves. Hmmm, that's fun.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It feels like the Timberwolves are they're wobbling. I the
Panthers are just they're too savvy Stars against the Oilers.
You can't beat Leon dry Sidle and you know that.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
I do you guys ever get confused with the Panthers
and the Hurricanes. Shouldn't the hurricanes be in Florida the panthers.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well, I don't know where panthers are. I don't know
if it's indigenous panthers are running around Florida right now,
but I don't know if they're in North Carolina either, Yes, Marvin,
but there's a lot.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Of hurricanes that come up more South Carolina or North
Kelbia too, So.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Yeah, which you'd want to not have that as your
nickname because it's a natural catastrophe to the region.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Like Miami, Right, Yeah, Todd, do you want to give
a breakdown of where panthers their natural habitat?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Is kind of like they're in the Everglades.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
They're just kind of they're kind of deep in the
woods around the Elades.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They get that when it rains. I guess dollsand alligators
are in there.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
But the panthers, you know, they sometimes they attack the
alligators and they're indigenous to the Everglades region.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Do they spawn?
Speaker 8 (07:07):
I guess would be get one of those like safari hats,
like those jungle ones that like Steve Row.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Are those those pith moments? I think they're pif.
Speaker 9 (07:20):
Yes, I think i'd look cute in one, but whatever, Yes,
I gotta double check this, but I think Todd nailed that.
The panthers uh. The team is named for the Florida
panther and a dangered species, a large cat uh indigenous
to the nearby Everglades region.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
That's hilarious because I just thought of Everglades that I
didn't know what I was talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Every once in a while, you stumble into one step
in step in this All right.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, you are the guy who graduated second in his
class of.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Six, now had a you have to prove it. The
Everglade Panthers of Florida.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Finally, did we learned something every day, don't we? Congratulations
and get ready for this. It's gonna happen. Let's say
the Pacers face the thunder. You're going to hear from
the non watchers. Oh, ratings are going to be terrible. Okay,
they might be down, but keep this in mind. The
NBA just signed eleven year how many billions of dollars
(08:11):
seventy six billion dollar TV deal?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Yeah, eleven year, seventy six billion through the twenty thirty
five thirty six season.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Okay, so you may take a hit with the ratings,
and but you know you're going to rebound. I don't
know if they're taking money away. I don't know what
the deal is, but you know our network's going to say,
if we don't have a certain rating, then we get
money back.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't know that. But you know, for everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Who's going to say, and these are the non watchers
being like, ah, you know, the non watchers always have
an opinion on things. It's like and I noticed this
with a WNBA, with Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees. Those
are the non watchers who have opinions because those who
are watching don't have those opinions. It's all of these
other people who want to have like something deep rooted
(08:58):
in them that they want to get off their chest,
and they use Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese as sort
of the launching pad for that. But the non watchers, hey, don't.
I mean, that's why you're a non watcher. But you'll
have an opinion on nobody's gonna watch this. Okay, then don't.
But I look forward to if that's what it is,
(09:19):
Pacers OKAC, one of those teams gets its first NBA title.
And imagine OKAC having three of the greatest players of
all time and not being able to close out Golden State.
So you have Durant, Harden and Westbrook and you can't
get to the NBA finals. Meanwhile, you got Shay Gilgis,
you got Chad Holmgren and a couple of guys last
(09:42):
name Williams, and you're going to be going to the
NBA Final.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And Dort Lou Dort.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Can't leave that, Tort, that's Pauli's guy. What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I can't, I won't, but thank you, Tod.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Right, So phone calls operator Tyler's sitting by eight seven
to seven three DP show you know the whole Tyrese
Aliburton emergence here he was great in Sacramento. What did
he go to Iowa State? Does that sound right? So
you know he wasn't featured at any point, and even
when you watch him, got a weird looking shot, but
(10:15):
not afraid to take a big shot.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
We know that.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And to have zero turnovers, I mean that's what jumps
out when you have the ball and you don't turn
the ball over, and the Knicks certainly did. He's averaged
around twenty per game, nearly ten assists, and he also
stretches the defense. He can take a deep three, but
you know, thirty two point fifteen triple double, you're up
three to one, and there aren't just three great games,
(10:43):
their statement games. This isn't about being a box score stuffer.
It's what do you need when you need it? And
all step up. So I don't think we look at
him that he's on the rise. Tyres Aliburton has arrived
and he's a problem to deal with, all right, So
we'll get phone calls here all that smoke. Co host
(11:04):
Stephen Jackson, I was on the podcast I think earlier
this year with him, had a lot of fun. Quinn
Buckner are the seventy six Indiana Hoosiers. That's still the
last team to go undefeated in college basketball.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, thirty three.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Now, yeah, I don't think we're going to have a
team go undefeated ever again because you don't stay together.
You know, the Hoosiers had so Bob Knight's your coach.
You had Scott May, you had Kent Benson, you had Quinn.
You know, Dan Dakich was on that team. Abernathy I
think was on that team. Ny who was the other guard?
(11:41):
Bobby drafted by the Kent Bobby Wilkerson drafted by the Cabs,
I believe. But yeah, Quinn was the point guard for
that team that went undefeated. Also played for the Celtics
and want to ring there?
Speaker 10 (11:54):
Yes, Marvin, He's got a couple of great stories in
Celtic City. The documentary that came out, he was awesome
in that. I did not realize he played for the
Celtics in eighty four.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, well we'll ask him some of those storiess.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, okay, yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
How many times did UCLA in the sixties go in
to feed like three or four times? Was it something
like that?
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Probably more than that?
Speaker 9 (12:19):
What a throwaway like Indiana gets a ton of credit
for being the last undefeated team.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
As they should.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
But it's like UCALE did it. I've got them doing
it four different times, just in the sixties.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, and you know, Kareem couldn't play his freshman year,
but the freshman team beat the varsity team that won
the national championship, just to give you an idea of
how dominating they were.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So UCLA wasn't the best team on their campus.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, No, the freshman team was. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Back then, you know they had freshman team because you
weren't eligible to play varsity. They wanted you get to
get acclimated to college life. Now you're only playing your
freshman year and you're not getting acclimated to college life.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
Yes, Paul, the last three teams to go into the
nca Tournament undefeated. I gotta double check this. The fourteen
to fifteen Kentucky team. They went thirty eight to one.
I think they lost Wisconsin. Wichita State was thirty five
and one in thirteen fourteen, and of course UNLV ninety
ninety one. They finished season thirty four and one, lost
to Duke in the final four.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Okay, so the Oilers up three to one on the Stars, Panthers, Hurricanes.
That's Game five that's coming up. Tonight some baseball news show.
Heyo Tani his twentieth home run and starting to do
a little more work pitching wise, the best record in
baseball belongs to.
Speaker 11 (13:42):
Two.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
They Detroit Tigers. Yeah, they Detroit Tigers. Congratulations to A. J.
Hinch who was the manager of the Astros who paid
a price for the cheating scandal, and of course he
has been in Detroit and done a wonderful job there.

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Which team down three to one is most done? The Hurricanes,
the Knicks, the Stars, the Timberwolves. That's our first hour
poll question each seven to seven three DP show. I
mentioned that Stephen Jackson, co host of All the Smoke podcast,
I said all that Smoke, and Fritzy reminded me that
(15:38):
it's All the Smoke. Former NBA player will join us
coming up next hour. Very popular podcast Quinn Buckner Pacers
broadcaster will stop by as well. Timberwolves against the thunder
coming up tonight. I've watched baseball, but it's kind of
been sort of surface watching, keeping an eye on a
couple of things there. And then I realized the Tigers
(15:59):
have the best record in baseball. Show Heyo Tani hit
his twentieth home run. That's a home run three consecutive games.
Do you realize the Colorado Rockies have been outscored by
one hundred and seventy four runs. Damn they're nine and
forty six. They've been outscored by one hundred and seventy
(16:22):
four runs.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
What k Mark?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Remember the baseballs that was the altitude was a big deal,
and they had to put baseballs in a humidor and
then we had to question Todd Helton's career numbers, or
Larry Walker's numbers, or Dras Gallaraga, Vinnie Castilla.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
They would love to have those days back, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
The Rockies, like you said, of an outscored one hundred
and seventy four runs. Last year, the White Sox, one
of the worst teams in history, were outscored by three
hundred and six runs. I'm doing the math here. The
Rockies are on pace to be outscored this season by
four hundred and seventy five runs.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Congratulations, congratulations, go for the gold. Yeah that's tough. Yeah,
well done, well done. Yeah, one hundred and seventy four runs.
Like you almost have to try to be bad to
be that bad. And are the White Sox are they
rooting for the Rockies to surpass their ineptitude?
Speaker 10 (17:37):
You think so, Mark, Oh yeah, absolutely, Hey, get us
out the record books.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
You guys take it.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
But I go back to the seventy six ers nineteen
seventy two. They won nine games, and Fred Carter, who
worked with me at ESPN as an NBA analyst after
his playing days, he didn't want anybody to break that
record because he said, we're not gonna be remembered, so
why not be remembered for something? And I said for
(18:04):
winning nine games? He said, yeah, yeah, we're the worst
team in NBA history. They won nine games.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Yes, Paul, but the Rockies aren't in the bottom and payroll,
which would explain something if they were tanking for a
draft pick or something like that. You can it's not
like you get Paul Skeens. If you're the worst, there
are six teams in baseball who're spending less this year
than the Rockies. So based off that, how can you
be this galactically bad.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Bad investment? I mean, you could spend but bad investments.
We Chris Bryant, then they sign him to one hundred
and twenty million dollars deal. I don't know if he
could even play anymore. All right, So we have our
poll question and let me see a couple of phone calls.
Andrew and Washington leads us off. Good morning, Andrew, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Good morning, Dan Dennet, Thanks for taking my call. I'd
much rather be Tyrese Haliburton with his contract and Timothy
Shalloway with his contract. But I don't know if you
saw the video of Timothy shallow May showed a lot
of respect. Ernie Johnson and Ben Stiller kind of were
meeting up at the at the baseline before last night's game,
and Timothy Shallomey did not come up and introduced himself
(19:13):
to Ernie Johnson until Ben Stiller called him up to
introduce him. And I was like, Wow, that's a lot.
That's a big humble move by Timothy shallow May to
show the respect to Ernie Johnson for somebody that's already star.
I was like, Wow, what a nice kid. Anyways, I
was going to ask, when does the NBA take away
the writer's ability to have the players make money? Jalen
(19:35):
Jackson Jr. Cost him two hundred million dollars by not
being on an All NBA team, Now, you know, from
a supermax to like one hundred and forty three million.
And I know you brought this up before, but I
just think that that needs to be changed somehow. I
don't think his worst should be up to the riders.
And by the way, Todd might want to not look
into panthers spawning, but I'm sure he's interested in Cougar's spawning.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Thank you, Andrew fair enough. I'm interest saying writer or
writer writers. He's saying writers. Yeah, like guys prints media,
the writers and the broadcasters. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
This is tricky because look, you can curry favor consciously,
subconsciously a media friendly. Next thing, you know, somebody may
vote for you, they may vote against somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It happens down through history. It's happened, yes, Mart.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
That happened to Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson didn't make all
NBA and he wasn't eligible for the Supermax and they
asked him, Oh, well, who'd you guys vote for? They're
like Kemba Walker, he rolls his eyes. You're hitting me.
It costs me like forty million dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, you know the difference between Max and Supermax deal.
I mean, this is million, hundreds and hundreds of millions
of dollars here.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
Yeah, Mark, That's another reason why I think the International
US Game will go over well, because a lot of
guys will miss out on money because they didn't make
the All Star Team.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I don't know how many guys have a All Star
bonus in their contract. I mean maybe I always say,
if if you are going to make a certain amount
of money, you should make the All Star team. If
you don't make the All Star Team, I should get
money back if I'm going to pay you fifty million
dollars a year. So I kind of see it differently.
(21:22):
And then you know, when I voted, I took great
pride in voting on the NBA Awards and their time.
There were two players I voted for. I didn't get
along with them because I said something on Sports Center,
but I still voted for them and you were doing
first team, second team, third team, and there's a lot
(21:43):
of money attached to that. There was one if Jaron
Jackson junior the third won the Defensive Player of the Year,
that he was going to get some incredible you know,
a couple one hundred million dollars more with that super
Max deal. You know, you know, we see this some
times where there's an ascendance, there's somebody where you go, oh,
(22:04):
he's starting. You know, Shay Gilgos had this a couple
of years ago where you started to go, oh, he's
the guy in the Paul George deal, and then all
of a sudden you realize, boy, he's pretty good. And
then all of a sudden it's oh, no, he's really good,
and then all of a sudden he's great. Tyree's Halliburton
is you know, it's a slow burn there. But you know,
(22:26):
at least Shay Gilgis was playing in LA Granted it
was for the Clippers. He played at Kentucky so they
were on TV all the time. But this has been
a really slow burn for him. You know, even Jalen Brunson,
if you look at him in college, if you look
at him with the Mams.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It was this slow burn.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
But organizations having patients with those players or realizing what
they have and then building around them. Indiana did that
with Halliburton getting the trade. You know, all the draft
picks that you know they threw in to get Paul George,
Paul George going to the Clippers and okay, see got
all those draft picks and they got Shay Gilgis. You
(23:04):
would do Shay Gilgis for Paul George straight up. You
would have to throw in some things if you were
going to do that, if you were taking on Paul George.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Now, yeah, Paul, there's a lot more slow burn guys.
Giannis's first three years didn't make the All Star team.
You'll get first three years. Even Steph Curry with the
ankle issues early, no All Star appearances his first three seasons.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, And it's interesting because you're so young going into
the NBA that you're not a finished product where you'll
see some guys in football, you know, baseball, you're spending
time in the miners, like years in the miners to
get to this point basketball. You can be eighteen years
of eight. You know, Cooper Flagg, he's walking in not
(23:48):
a finished product. We may not realize how good he's
going to be until he's twenty five. Shay Gilgis, I
think is twenty five you got Luca, Who's what twenty
five twenty six? Like, these guys are still kind of
finding their way, and that's because they play one year
of basketball.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
Yeah, Mark, that's why you see so much agism. We
talked about Dalton Connect. If he was nineteen, he would
have been the third pick overall because by the time
they're twenty two, they're thinking, Reed Shepherd is going to
be an All Star by twenty two, not getting drafted
and being a rookie in the NBA at twenty two.
So I think that's what a lot of people see
when they draft eighteen nineteen year olds.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
If Dalton Connect had been nineteen and he came from Germany,
then all of a sudden, if he had an umlat
over his last name Connect, they'd be like, you gotta
take that guy, man, he could be the next Luca.
Like Franz Wagner, he's an All Star played really well.
I think it helps that he's Franz Wagner not Frank Wagner.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yes, well, remember how much it helped Nick Stauskis.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
There's Nik Stauskus, not Nick Canadian that's close to europe
Nick Stauskis.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I know what did Sacramento who took him? Of course?
Of course they love Europeans.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, let me see Don in Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Hi, Don, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (25:14):
Born and Dan love the show listen or watch nearly
every day. My question is pertaining a Major League Baseball
Born raised, lived most of my adult life in Northeast Ohio.
MC Guardians fans small mid market team. Do you think
that Major League Baseball is ever going to change about
pertaining to revenue sharing? The other point I have is
(25:39):
international players that play professionally somewhere else basketball, if they
want to play in the NBA, they got to enter
the draft major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They don't.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
Don't think it's fair to the small mid market teams,
which there's a lot of them. And if it's never
going to change, why not.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Well, I don't think that you could institute a salary cap.
I'm sure they would love to, but I just think
we're too far down the road that the Dodgers are,
you know, obviously not going to want to adhere to that.
I mean, there's teams that are spending money. You know,
the Mets are spending money.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
There's quite a few.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
There's probably ten teams that are, you know, spending a
lot more money than you think.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
But it's the haves and the have nots.
Speaker 14 (26:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It's unfortunate because there are great baseball cities, traditionally great
baseball cities that are never going to get close to
winning a World Series, maybe you know, get close to
a playoff spot, and that's just about it, yem are.
Speaker 10 (26:37):
Yeah, when I was younger, I always felt bad for
the Athletics and the Royals because they would have players
like a Johnny Damon or one of the Giombi's. Jason
Giombi was, man, they're really good. They're going to be
a Yankee or Red Sock in about two years. Always
happened to basically like those two franchises.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well, we're doing that with Paul Skeins of the Pirates.
We're gonna go, man, who's gonna get him? Yeah, Dela Cruz,
who's going to get him? O'Neil with the Pirates, Somebody
going to get those guys. And then you're going to
be like, where did this guy come from? And then
you realize that you know, he played for some other
team in a smaller market and you probably didn't follow him.
(27:15):
But I mean, it's the haves and the have nots uh,
Angela in Oklahoma, Hi, Angela, good.
Speaker 15 (27:25):
Morning, Good morning. I want to say I love your show.
I love you guys. And now I want to really
talk about the thunder because Oklahoma, and last night was
such a close game. Oh my goodness, I was biting
my nails and we won. Yes, And now I'm certainly
(27:49):
certainly scared of Haliburton, Okay. And then I also have
one more thing I need to say. I love yourself
so much, Dan that I'd looked to and I'm a
scout of today Dan Q player in high school at
William Mason's High School. He scored you, Dan a single
(28:11):
game personal best of thirty six points, earned AP Class double,
a Ohio thirteen honors. I'm so proud of you, Dan.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'd love to.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Thank you, Angela, thank you. I think stat of.
Speaker 15 (28:26):
The day, stat of the day, best stat of the day,
stat of the day, here comes that?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
What stop? Thank you, Angela? Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Once again, you couldn't stop me. You could only hope
to contain me and League rules frowned upon using a handgun.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yes, Tom, doesn't that.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Make you excited? And like, you've been doing this so long?
Speaker 5 (28:53):
And if people got so emotional and you know they're
on hole and they can't wait to talk to you
for a minute, and just just made that person's day.
She got all choked up just to give you that
staff from your high school basketball days and to say, Hi,
I don't know, that's a.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Pretty cool thing. I'm having a little moment here, are
you getting set a little bit? I just think that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
How many people have careers where or do anything in
life for any kind of job where someone can get
that excited and emotional in a given moment about something
you did, about how much they enjoy what you do.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I think that's just a pretty awesome thing.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Do you know that I still she brought up that
game and I should have had forty. I can already
tell you two shots that I missed that were that
stay with me.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
That's you know, that's fifty years ago and I still
remember two shots. I still remember a layup that I
missed and I would have had thirty, And again.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Drives me crazy, itrives to be crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It's a willingness, it's a need to be great Todd.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
It's very impressive. Even so, you know, we see when
we go on the road.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
We were in Atlanta, typic family feod and people coming
up to you at the airport or inside the we
Feud building like this is their big moment. They'll maybe
never see you ever again, and this is their chance
to say hi or get a picture. I just I
don't know, I just kind of we forget something. Maybe
we take you for granted. I don't know if that's
what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Well, are they getting so excited about Dan?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
We see him every day and then pictures chasing him
across the street asking you about the middle relievers of
the twins, Well, what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Although when we were at Celebrity Family Feud, Diplo was
there and I didn't know if he was a sports guy.
I didn't go up to him, but somebody said, you know,
they think all celebrities know all celebrities, and so Diplo
was I don't know, fifteen feet away and then I
(30:42):
was just standing there. I wasn't really familiar with him.
I know he's a very popular DJ but I guess
he was on Celebrity Family Feud prior to us.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
But Diplo was in the building, that's who that was.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yes, no kid, Yes, yeah, uh what Marvin, I didn't
know that either.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I was told it was like, hey, there's Diplo, and
I go, okay, now what do I do? Diplo is
like a DJ, yeah, music producer.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah he's not. Yeah, he's not like skrill X.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Is he He's.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Probably almost exactly like it wasn't skrill x a thing
for a while there.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
He was, and then everybody battle was that style of
techno is terrible?
Speaker 13 (31:36):
Yeah, wow yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yes.
Speaker 9 (31:45):
Paul Diplo is a DJ from Tupelo, Mississippi, went to
Temple University. His burn name is Thomas Wesley Pence AK
Diplo Diplo.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Yeah, so Diplo was in the house.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
That was a Diplo comings.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Thank you, Todd.
Speaker 3 (32:03):

the way tire buying should be. Keith in Denver, Good morning, Keith.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (33:19):
I'd like to visit about what we think. There's a
baseball game here in Denver. You all originally from the Midwest,
moved here in eighty one, used to play baseball every day.
It was part of the eighty thousand fans there was
for the first Rockies opening day and the disappointment we
(33:42):
have here in this city is ridiculous. You made a
comment the other day day, I love your show about
the attendance at the Rockies games. The problem is, if
you look at the TV screen for the attendance of
the Rockies game, at least half the ballpark is from
the other team. There are so many transplants here in
(34:03):
Denver that half the ballpark is for sure for the
other team. It's a ridiculous scenario. I refuse to go
any more to give Monk for a ten dollars year
in return. We also had four players, four players that
were given market contract offer. Receiver had them or we're
(34:28):
giving them in Aeronauto holiday story to Witzky, and all
of them said they didn't want to play for him.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It says a lot. Thanks for the phone call, Keith.
I hear the disappointment in your voice. You get success,
and then all of a sudden you think that you're
kind of entitled to that it's just going to continue.
And then you get an owner as a different thought
process here, you know, manage it's a business. And then
(34:57):
do you have the right people, the right people in
play where you're bringing in the right town and spending
the money. And then there's nothing you can do. You're
held captive. It's it's your baseball team, and for better
or for worse, trying to support them.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:13):
See the problem for the Rockies too is that, well
they're spending isn't terrible. The Tigers spending is only like
five or six spots higher than that. There's only like
twenty five million dollar difference or something like that. So
clearly they spend way better.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I often talk about NFL teams when somebody says, oh,
they got all these draft picks, who's drafting?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Just like with OKC, they have all these draft picks,
Well they have Sam Presty. I feel pretty good about that.
The Ravens would have draft picks and I'd go Ozzie Newsome,
I feel pretty good about that. See, that's the key.
You know, the Browns have had draft picks for the
last fifteen years. They just don't draft. Well, you know,
they've drafted a couple, you know, Joe Thomas is a
(35:57):
Hall of Famer, but they've whiffed. That's the important part.
And even when you get like Kansas City, Red Beach
is incredible and they're drafting at the end of the
of the round, it's do you have the right people
to select the right people? That's where it starts.
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Yeah, Pauling, I was looking at the attendance so far
this year. It's a small sample size, but the Rockies
aren't that bad. They're like eighteenth in attendance. People still
go to the games. So my question is which is
the easiest sport to attend your team's game when they stink?
Is the obvious answer Baseball because you're outside. It's like
going to a park with a baseball game when they stink.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Well, there's a lot of games.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
You got eighty one games to be able to choose
from football. You know, you get half of the seventeen
game schedule. Feels like you have to go to those
games because you're spending all that money.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Whether they're good or not, on your ticket.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Yes, yes, I just can't imagine if you're an owner,
Let's say you're the owner of the Rockies or the
A's the White Sox last year, are you going to
every game?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Every home game?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
You imagine just sitting there and you're watching an aptitude,
but you have to watch your product because it's yours.
That would be that'd be a challenge. I mean, you
can have a bad football team, but you got to
go to eight games, and you know you may win
three of those games. So it feels like that's a
(37:28):
little bit easier to go to a football game. A
because of the tickets and B because well it's only
you know, a finite amount of games here. Baseball's just
there's so many of those games. Uh, Gibbs in Virginia Beach, I, Gibbs,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (37:47):
No, beg this is the guy that was talking about
fair spawning with the fit.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Hey dan, Oh, Gibbs with a little human were there?
I see what you were doing talking to somebody. Okay,
all right, what do you have for me?
Speaker 7 (38:06):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (38:07):
Hi, Bud, thanks for calling me back.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
As always, I want.
Speaker 11 (38:12):
To give a shout out to Keith in Virginia Beach.
Speaker 14 (38:14):
I love that the Virginia Beach crowd is uh heavy
in this right now.
Speaker 11 (38:19):
Keith, I'm here for you, man. Anytime you want me
to come over and start moving that stuff out.
Speaker 14 (38:24):
I got your brother, uh and shout out Gibs.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Gibbs, let's get okay, never mind another day, Gibbs, that's work.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
I have no idea Gibbs was given us some humor.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
Oh I missed it.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
I've been there, I've been there.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yes, you suddenly you sounded funnier. Zach and Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Hi, Zach, Oh, good morning Dan.
Speaker 14 (38:55):
How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Oh? Oh just wonderful.
Speaker 14 (38:58):
Yeah, Hey, that's good. Here, glad, it's not just me
over here. Six foot three and seven inche and a
deadly two twenty pounds.
Speaker 11 (39:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I just wanted to touch base.
Speaker 14 (39:08):
Last week, you guys were talking about a baby one
the idea first time caller. I think you guys also
got to leave a space for their weight so they
can also earn their first bell at some point, you know,
throw an extra time box, cent it back to get
it time. That'd be something fun. So I just want
to touch base. Earlier, we were talking about careers that
were just over spinning and over time. You guys were
(39:29):
talking about scrill X. Did you know that he started
touring at the age of sixteen and is still touring
to this date.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Well that's great, thank you, Zach. I didn't know I
was going to get an update on scrill X a DJ,
but I got one. I hope, I hope America is
further enriched because of that.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Is that a unique situation too, by the way that
somebody started touring serene and continue to to this day.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Hey, it's e me because I brought up scrill after
seeing Diplo at celebrity families.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I believe that he's a thing.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah yeah, Do you think he was wondering who we were?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, he's definitely wondering who we were.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
I don't even actually think he thought long enough to
wonder who we were.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
He just moved right by us. There's a bunch of
random people, yeah, randos. Yeah, all right, update the poll
results if you can.
Speaker 8 (40:30):
There, Seaton OCN Heck, yeah, which team that is currently
down three to one is most done? Hurricanes, Knicks, Stars, Timberwolves.
Right now, Timberwolves have about thirty five percent of that vote.
Close race between Hurricanes and Knicks. People still believing in
the stars.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Coming up next hour, we'll talk to Stephen Jackson. He
is co host of All the Smoke Great podcast, Quinn
Buckner Pacers broadcaster. Also we'll hear from Terry Bradshaw. He
had some choice words for the Pittsburgh Steelers organization waiting
around for Aaron Rodgers. There's also been a little chatter
about Kirk Cousins. Future Kirk Cousins didn't show up for OTAs.
(41:18):
He would always strike me as he would be the
first guy there at OTAs. Now he doesn't show up.
But I think there's a reason why he didn't show
up to OTAs for the Atlanta Falcons, so we'll have
that story. Also, we'll have Terry Bradshaw commenting on the
Steelers who are waiting for Aaron Rodgers. Eight seven seven

Pacers broadcaster former NBA player.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
He will join as well. Come up with the poll.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Question, play of the Day, stat of the Day, All
to that fourthcoming tonight, it's the Timberwolves getting eight and
a half at the Thunder Game five as the Oklahoma
City Thunder try to close that series out Pacers. They're
up three to one as they beat the Knicks. And
if there's something I guess close to being a perfect
(01:23):
game in basketball, Tyrese Haliburton pretty close. Thirty two fifteen,
twelve rebound, zero turnovers. That's a pretty good night. And
he got his dad back in the building, and Tyrese
Haliburton after the win talked about that.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
I'm wondering if what went on with him, if that
was tough for you, and just if there were some
emotions about having him back in here tonight.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
Uh emotions.
Speaker 7 (01:50):
No. I mean, I'm gonna be honest with you guys. Here,
Like my dad is just fine, Like he lives just fine.
He's at the house watching the game, in a beautiful home.
There's obviously a lot of commentary around him, especially right after,
which I think some was warranted, some went too far.
But that's just sports, and that's just talking heads. I mean,
we I know, we're saying free Pops, and Pops is free,
(02:12):
but he was not in jail. He happened to be
in a very beautiful home, same very pretty watching NBA basketball.
He's just fun.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Good for him. I like him, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
And you can tell the non watchers because you're getting
a lot of people now talking about Tyrese Haliburton.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Is he a top ten player? People who didn't watch him,
didn't watch him.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Now you know he was in obscurity in college with
Sacramento and maybe with the Pacers you could say that
as well. Not big media markets. But if you're watching,
then you've noticed that Tyrese Haliburton is here to stay.
Very good player. Now you're going to get the comparisons
with Jalen Brunson. Feels like they're different types of players.
(02:56):
What one team needs from one guy, the other one
needs something different from the other. But it's a great
match up here and right now, Tyrese Haliburton has the
upper hand up three games to one.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
All right.

have the game coming up tonight. Okay, see tries to
close out Minnesota as the Timberwolves getting eight and a
half setan what's poll question for the first hour of
the program.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
I'm just looking to see if Tyrese Haliburton's gotten paid yet.
If he hasn't, I don't know where his contract status
is and what years and whatnot, but man, he.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Has he gotten paid up? Does anybody know?
Speaker 9 (03:58):
I wish it was a contract year for Tyrese Haliburton.
He's locked up. He's gonna be fine. He signed a
five year, two hundred and forty four million dollar deal
about a little over a year ago. He was making
forty two million this year. Three years from now he'll
be making fifty five six, which oddly will make him
like the eighth highest paid player in the NBA.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
But in three years, and if his dad gets into
trouble again, he might have an even nicer house to
recline in.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
While he watches his son. All Right, so it must be.
Speaker 8 (04:29):
Crazy to go from like making I don't know, like
five million a year to forty five a year. But
that's a significant jump.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, but has anybody had a bigger salary jump in
history than rock Perty? Then he go from nine hundred
thousand to what fifty or something like that if you
include you know, the guaranteed money.
Speaker 8 (04:50):
That's like really like NFL players get paid in lottery tickets.
Here's a big chunk of money, and then not much.
Here's another big uncle money and then not much after that.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Yeah, Paul, Yeah, brock Perty in twenty twenty four made
a total nine and eighty five thousand dollars. Next year
he'll make at least forty one million dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, that's a that's a big pay race. That might
be the biggest all time. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
That's where you go into your accountant and then you go,
h hey, my tax returns just a little bit different
this year. We're gonna need some write offs here, can
you write off Christian McCaffrey or Trent Williams George Kittle?
All right, so what's poll question? From the first down receipt.
Speaker 8 (05:34):
Why don't we go with let's see more done Nick's Timberwolves.
Neither You could also go stars we could throw in
there too.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because aren't we three to one with
all of these series?
Speaker 8 (05:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Does that sound right? Easily?
Speaker 8 (05:54):
Go Hurricanes, nixt Stars, Timberwolves. Hmmm, that's fun.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
It feels like the Timberwolves are they're wobbling. I the
Panthers are just they're too savvy Stars against the Oilers.
You can't beat Leon dry Sidle and you know that.
Speaker 9 (06:18):
I do you guys ever get confused with the Panthers
and the Hurricanes. Shouldn't the hurricanes be in Florida the panthers.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Well, I don't know where panthers are. I don't know
if it's indigenous panthers are running around Florida right now,
but I don't know if they're in North Carolina either, Yes, Marvin,
but there's a lot.
Speaker 10 (06:37):
Of hurricanes that come up more South Carolina or North
Kelbia too, So.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Yeah, which you'd want to not have that as your
nickname because it's a natural catastrophe to the region.
Speaker 8 (06:45):
Like Miami, Right, Yeah, Todd, do you want to give
a breakdown of where panthers their natural habitat?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Is kind of like they're in the Everglades.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
They're just kind of they're kind of deep in the
woods around the Elades.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
They get that when it rains. I guess dollsand alligators
are in there.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
But the panthers, you know, they sometimes they attack the
alligators and they're indigenous to the Everglades region.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Do they spawn?
Speaker 8 (07:07):
I guess would be get one of those like safari hats,
like those jungle ones that like Steve Row.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Are those those pith moments? I think they're pif.
Speaker 9 (07:20):
Yes, I think i'd look cute in one, but whatever, Yes,
I gotta double check this, but I think Todd nailed that.
The panthers uh. The team is named for the Florida
panther and a dangered species, a large cat uh indigenous
to the nearby Everglades region.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
That's hilarious because I just thought of Everglades that I
didn't know what I was talking about.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Every once in a while, you stumble into one step
in step in this All right.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Well, you are the guy who graduated second in his
class of.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Six, now had a you have to prove it. The
Everglade Panthers of Florida.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Finally, did we learned something every day, don't we? Congratulations
and get ready for this. It's gonna happen. Let's say
the Pacers face the thunder. You're going to hear from
the non watchers. Oh, ratings are going to be terrible. Okay,
they might be down, but keep this in mind. The
NBA just signed eleven year how many billions of dollars
(08:11):
seventy six billion dollar TV deal?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
Yeah, eleven year, seventy six billion through the twenty thirty
five thirty six season.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Okay, so you may take a hit with the ratings,
and but you know you're going to rebound. I don't
know if they're taking money away. I don't know what
the deal is, but you know our network's going to say,
if we don't have a certain rating, then we get
money back.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I don't know that. But you know, for everybody.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Who's going to say, and these are the non watchers
being like, ah, you know, the non watchers always have
an opinion on things. It's like and I noticed this
with a WNBA, with Caitlin Clark and Angel Rees. Those
are the non watchers who have opinions because those who
are watching don't have those opinions. It's all of these
other people who want to have like something deep rooted
(08:58):
in them that they want to get off their chest,
and they use Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese as sort
of the launching pad for that. But the non watchers, hey, don't.
I mean, that's why you're a non watcher. But you'll
have an opinion on nobody's gonna watch this. Okay, then don't.
But I look forward to if that's what it is,
(09:19):
Pacers OKAC, one of those teams gets its first NBA title.
And imagine OKAC having three of the greatest players of
all time and not being able to close out Golden State.
So you have Durant, Harden and Westbrook and you can't
get to the NBA finals. Meanwhile, you got Shay Gilgis,
you got Chad Holmgren and a couple of guys last
(09:42):
name Williams, and you're going to be going to the
NBA Final.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And Dort Lou Dort.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Can't leave that, Tort, that's Pauli's guy. What are you doing?
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I can't, I won't, but thank you, Tod.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Right, So phone calls operator Tyler's sitting by eight seven
to seven three DP show you know the whole Tyrese
Aliburton emergence here he was great in Sacramento. What did
he go to Iowa State? Does that sound right? So
you know he wasn't featured at any point, and even
when you watch him, got a weird looking shot, but
(10:15):
not afraid to take a big shot.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
We know that.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
And to have zero turnovers, I mean that's what jumps
out when you have the ball and you don't turn
the ball over, and the Knicks certainly did. He's averaged
around twenty per game, nearly ten assists, and he also
stretches the defense. He can take a deep three, but
you know, thirty two point fifteen triple double, you're up
three to one, and there aren't just three great games,
(10:43):
their statement games. This isn't about being a box score stuffer.
It's what do you need when you need it? And
all step up. So I don't think we look at
him that he's on the rise. Tyres Aliburton has arrived
and he's a problem to deal with, all right, So
we'll get phone calls here all that smoke. Co host
(11:04):
Stephen Jackson, I was on the podcast I think earlier
this year with him, had a lot of fun. Quinn
Buckner are the seventy six Indiana Hoosiers. That's still the
last team to go undefeated in college basketball.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, thirty three.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Now, yeah, I don't think we're going to have a
team go undefeated ever again because you don't stay together.
You know, the Hoosiers had so Bob Knight's your coach.
You had Scott May, you had Kent Benson, you had Quinn.
You know, Dan Dakich was on that team. Abernathy I
think was on that team. Ny who was the other guard?
(11:41):
Bobby drafted by the Kent Bobby Wilkerson drafted by the Cabs,
I believe. But yeah, Quinn was the point guard for
that team that went undefeated. Also played for the Celtics
and want to ring there?
Speaker 10 (11:54):
Yes, Marvin, He's got a couple of great stories in
Celtic City. The documentary that came out, he was awesome
in that. I did not realize he played for the
Celtics in eighty four.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Yeah, well we'll ask him some of those storiess.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yeah, okay, yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (12:11):
How many times did UCLA in the sixties go in
to feed like three or four times? Was it something
like that?
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Probably more than that?
Speaker 9 (12:19):
What a throwaway like Indiana gets a ton of credit
for being the last undefeated team.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
As they should.
Speaker 9 (12:24):
But it's like UCALE did it. I've got them doing
it four different times, just in the sixties.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, and you know, Kareem couldn't play his freshman year,
but the freshman team beat the varsity team that won
the national championship, just to give you an idea of
how dominating they were.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So UCLA wasn't the best team on their campus.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, No, the freshman team was. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Back then, you know they had freshman team because you
weren't eligible to play varsity. They wanted you get to
get acclimated to college life. Now you're only playing your
freshman year and you're not getting acclimated to college life.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
Yes, Paul, the last three teams to go into the
nca Tournament undefeated. I gotta double check this. The fourteen
to fifteen Kentucky team. They went thirty eight to one.
I think they lost Wisconsin. Wichita State was thirty five
and one in thirteen fourteen, and of course UNLV ninety
ninety one. They finished season thirty four and one, lost
to Duke in the final four.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Okay, so the Oilers up three to one on the Stars, Panthers, Hurricanes.
That's Game five that's coming up. Tonight some baseball news show.
Heyo Tani his twentieth home run and starting to do
a little more work pitching wise, the best record in
baseball belongs to.
Speaker 11 (13:42):
Two.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
They Detroit Tigers. Yeah, they Detroit Tigers. Congratulations to A. J.
Hinch who was the manager of the Astros who paid
a price for the cheating scandal, and of course he
has been in Detroit and done a wonderful job there.
Just getting started. Got our poll question and we'll get
to your phone calls as well. Eh, seven to seven

Speaker 3 (15:18):
Which team down three to one is most done? The Hurricanes,
the Knicks, the Stars, the Timberwolves. That's our first hour
poll question each seven to seven three DP show. I
mentioned that Stephen Jackson, co host of All the Smoke podcast,
I said all that Smoke, and Fritzy reminded me that
(15:38):
it's All the Smoke. Former NBA player will join us
coming up next hour. Very popular podcast Quinn Buckner Pacers
broadcaster will stop by as well. Timberwolves against the thunder
coming up tonight. I've watched baseball, but it's kind of
been sort of surface watching, keeping an eye on a
couple of things there. And then I realized the Tigers
(15:59):
have the best record in baseball. Show Heyo Tani hit
his twentieth home run. That's a home run three consecutive games.
Do you realize the Colorado Rockies have been outscored by
one hundred and seventy four runs. Damn they're nine and
forty six. They've been outscored by one hundred and seventy
(16:22):
four runs.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
What k Mark?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
Remember the baseballs that was the altitude was a big deal,
and they had to put baseballs in a humidor and
then we had to question Todd Helton's career numbers, or
Larry Walker's numbers, or Dras Gallaraga, Vinnie Castilla.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
They would love to have those days back, Yes, Paul.
Speaker 9 (16:58):
The Rockies, like you said, of an outscored one hundred
and seventy four runs. Last year, the White Sox, one
of the worst teams in history, were outscored by three
hundred and six runs. I'm doing the math here. The
Rockies are on pace to be outscored this season by
four hundred and seventy five runs.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Congratulations, congratulations, go for the gold. Yeah that's tough. Yeah,
well done, well done. Yeah, one hundred and seventy four runs.
Like you almost have to try to be bad to
be that bad. And are the White Sox are they
rooting for the Rockies to surpass their ineptitude?
Speaker 10 (17:37):
You think so, Mark, Oh yeah, absolutely, Hey, get us
out the record books.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
You guys take it.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
But I go back to the seventy six ers nineteen
seventy two. They won nine games, and Fred Carter, who
worked with me at ESPN as an NBA analyst after
his playing days, he didn't want anybody to break that
record because he said, we're not gonna be remembered, so
why not be remembered for something? And I said for
(18:04):
winning nine games? He said, yeah, yeah, we're the worst
team in NBA history. They won nine games.
Speaker 9 (18:09):
Yes, Paul, but the Rockies aren't in the bottom and payroll,
which would explain something if they were tanking for a
draft pick or something like that. You can it's not
like you get Paul Skeens. If you're the worst, there
are six teams in baseball who're spending less this year
than the Rockies. So based off that, how can you
be this galactically bad.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Bad investment? I mean, you could spend but bad investments.
We Chris Bryant, then they sign him to one hundred
and twenty million dollars deal. I don't know if he
could even play anymore. All right, So we have our
poll question and let me see a couple of phone calls.
Andrew and Washington leads us off. Good morning, Andrew, what's
on your mind today?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
Good morning, Dan Dennet, Thanks for taking my call. I'd
much rather be Tyrese Haliburton with his contract and Timothy
Shalloway with his contract. But I don't know if you
saw the video of Timothy shallow May showed a lot
of respect. Ernie Johnson and Ben Stiller kind of were
meeting up at the at the baseline before last night's game,
and Timothy Shallomey did not come up and introduced himself
(19:13):
to Ernie Johnson until Ben Stiller called him up to
introduce him. And I was like, Wow, that's a lot.
That's a big humble move by Timothy shallow May to
show the respect to Ernie Johnson for somebody that's already star.
I was like, Wow, what a nice kid. Anyways, I
was going to ask, when does the NBA take away
the writer's ability to have the players make money? Jalen
(19:35):
Jackson Jr. Cost him two hundred million dollars by not
being on an All NBA team, Now, you know, from
a supermax to like one hundred and forty three million.
And I know you brought this up before, but I
just think that that needs to be changed somehow. I
don't think his worst should be up to the riders.
And by the way, Todd might want to not look
into panthers spawning, but I'm sure he's interested in Cougar's spawning.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Thank you, Andrew fair enough. I'm interest saying writer or
writer writers. He's saying writers. Yeah, like guys prints media,
the writers and the broadcasters. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
This is tricky because look, you can curry favor consciously,
subconsciously a media friendly. Next thing, you know, somebody may
vote for you, they may vote against somebody.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
It happens down through history. It's happened, yes, Mart.
Speaker 10 (20:28):
That happened to Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson didn't make all
NBA and he wasn't eligible for the Supermax and they
asked him, Oh, well, who'd you guys vote for? They're
like Kemba Walker, he rolls his eyes. You're hitting me.
It costs me like forty million dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
Yeah, you know the difference between Max and Supermax deal.
I mean, this is million, hundreds and hundreds of millions
of dollars here.
Speaker 10 (20:51):
Yeah, Mark, That's another reason why I think the International
US Game will go over well, because a lot of
guys will miss out on money because they didn't make
the All Star Team.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I don't know how many guys have a All Star
bonus in their contract. I mean maybe I always say,
if if you are going to make a certain amount
of money, you should make the All Star team. If
you don't make the All Star Team, I should get
money back if I'm going to pay you fifty million
dollars a year. So I kind of see it differently.
(21:22):
And then you know, when I voted, I took great
pride in voting on the NBA Awards and their time.
There were two players I voted for. I didn't get
along with them because I said something on Sports Center,
but I still voted for them and you were doing
first team, second team, third team, and there's a lot
(21:43):
of money attached to that. There was one if Jaron
Jackson junior the third won the Defensive Player of the Year,
that he was going to get some incredible you know,
a couple one hundred million dollars more with that super
Max deal. You know, you know, we see this some
times where there's an ascendance, there's somebody where you go, oh,
(22:04):
he's starting. You know, Shay Gilgos had this a couple
of years ago where you started to go, oh, he's
the guy in the Paul George deal, and then all
of a sudden you realize, boy, he's pretty good. And
then all of a sudden it's oh, no, he's really good,
and then all of a sudden he's great. Tyree's Halliburton
is you know, it's a slow burn there. But you know,
(22:26):
at least Shay Gilgis was playing in LA Granted it
was for the Clippers. He played at Kentucky so they
were on TV all the time. But this has been
a really slow burn for him. You know, even Jalen Brunson,
if you look at him in college, if you look
at him with the Mams.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
It was this slow burn.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
But organizations having patients with those players or realizing what
they have and then building around them. Indiana did that
with Halliburton getting the trade. You know, all the draft
picks that you know they threw in to get Paul George,
Paul George going to the Clippers and okay, see got
all those draft picks and they got Shay Gilgis. You
(23:04):
would do Shay Gilgis for Paul George straight up. You
would have to throw in some things if you were
going to do that, if you were taking on Paul George.
Speaker 9 (23:14):
Now, yeah, Paul, there's a lot more slow burn guys.
Giannis's first three years didn't make the All Star team.
You'll get first three years. Even Steph Curry with the
ankle issues early, no All Star appearances his first three seasons.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, And it's interesting because you're so young going into
the NBA that you're not a finished product where you'll
see some guys in football, you know, baseball, you're spending
time in the miners, like years in the miners to
get to this point basketball. You can be eighteen years
of eight. You know, Cooper Flagg, he's walking in not
(23:48):
a finished product. We may not realize how good he's
going to be until he's twenty five. Shay Gilgis, I
think is twenty five you got Luca, Who's what twenty
five twenty six? Like, these guys are still kind of
finding their way, and that's because they play one year
of basketball.
Speaker 10 (24:07):
Yeah, Mark, that's why you see so much agism. We
talked about Dalton Connect. If he was nineteen, he would
have been the third pick overall because by the time
they're twenty two, they're thinking, Reed Shepherd is going to
be an All Star by twenty two, not getting drafted
and being a rookie in the NBA at twenty two.
So I think that's what a lot of people see
when they draft eighteen nineteen year olds.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
If Dalton Connect had been nineteen and he came from Germany,
then all of a sudden, if he had an umlat
over his last name Connect, they'd be like, you gotta
take that guy, man, he could be the next Luca.
Like Franz Wagner, he's an All Star played really well.
I think it helps that he's Franz Wagner not Frank Wagner.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
Yes, well, remember how much it helped Nick Stauskis.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
There's Nik Stauskus, not Nick Canadian that's close to europe
Nick Stauskis.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
I know what did Sacramento who took him? Of course?
Of course they love Europeans.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Yeah, let me see Don in Florida.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
Hi, Don, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 13 (25:14):
Born and Dan love the show listen or watch nearly
every day. My question is pertaining a Major League Baseball
Born raised, lived most of my adult life in Northeast Ohio.
MC Guardians fans small mid market team. Do you think
that Major League Baseball is ever going to change about
pertaining to revenue sharing? The other point I have is
(25:39):
international players that play professionally somewhere else basketball, if they
want to play in the NBA, they got to enter
the draft major League Baseball.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
They don't.
Speaker 13 (25:50):
Don't think it's fair to the small mid market teams,
which there's a lot of them. And if it's never
going to change, why not.
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Well, I don't think that you could institute a salary cap.
I'm sure they would love to, but I just think
we're too far down the road that the Dodgers are,
you know, obviously not going to want to adhere to that.
I mean, there's teams that are spending money. You know,
the Mets are spending money.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
There's quite a few.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
There's probably ten teams that are, you know, spending a
lot more money than you think.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
But it's the haves and the have nots.
Speaker 14 (26:23):
You know.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
It's unfortunate because there are great baseball cities, traditionally great
baseball cities that are never going to get close to
winning a World Series, maybe you know, get close to
a playoff spot, and that's just about it, yem are.
Speaker 10 (26:37):
Yeah, when I was younger, I always felt bad for
the Athletics and the Royals because they would have players
like a Johnny Damon or one of the Giombi's. Jason
Giombi was, man, they're really good. They're going to be
a Yankee or Red Sock in about two years. Always
happened to basically like those two franchises.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well, we're doing that with Paul Skeins of the Pirates.
We're gonna go, man, who's gonna get him? Yeah, Dela Cruz,
who's going to get him? O'Neil with the Pirates, Somebody
going to get those guys. And then you're going to
be like, where did this guy come from? And then
you realize that you know, he played for some other
team in a smaller market and you probably didn't follow him.
(27:15):
But I mean, it's the haves and the have nots uh,
Angela in Oklahoma, Hi, Angela, good.
Speaker 15 (27:25):
Morning, Good morning. I want to say I love your show.
I love you guys. And now I want to really
talk about the thunder because Oklahoma, and last night was
such a close game. Oh my goodness, I was biting
my nails and we won. Yes, And now I'm certainly
(27:49):
certainly scared of Haliburton, Okay. And then I also have
one more thing I need to say. I love yourself
so much, Dan that I'd looked to and I'm a
scout of today Dan Q player in high school at
William Mason's High School. He scored you, Dan a single
(28:11):
game personal best of thirty six points, earned AP Class double,
a Ohio thirteen honors. I'm so proud of you, Dan.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'd love to.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Thank you, Angela, thank you. I think stat of.
Speaker 15 (28:26):
The day, stat of the day, best stat of the day,
stat of the day, here comes that?
Speaker 2 (28:34):
What stop? Thank you, Angela? Thank you.
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Once again, you couldn't stop me. You could only hope
to contain me and League rules frowned upon using a handgun.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yes, Tom, doesn't that.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Make you excited? And like, you've been doing this so long?
Speaker 5 (28:53):
And if people got so emotional and you know they're
on hole and they can't wait to talk to you
for a minute, and just just made that person's day.
She got all choked up just to give you that
staff from your high school basketball days and to say, Hi,
I don't know, that's a.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
Pretty cool thing. I'm having a little moment here, are
you getting set a little bit? I just think that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (29:11):
How many people have careers where or do anything in
life for any kind of job where someone can get
that excited and emotional in a given moment about something
you did, about how much they enjoy what you do.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
I think that's just a pretty awesome thing.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Do you know that I still she brought up that
game and I should have had forty. I can already
tell you two shots that I missed that were that
stay with me.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
That's terrible.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
That's you know, that's fifty years ago and I still
remember two shots. I still remember a layup that I
missed and I would have had thirty, And again.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
Drives me crazy, itrives to be crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It's a willingness, it's a need to be great Todd.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
It's very impressive. Even so, you know, we see when
we go on the road.
Speaker 5 (29:55):
We were in Atlanta, typic family feod and people coming
up to you at the airport or inside the we
Feud building like this is their big moment. They'll maybe
never see you ever again, and this is their chance
to say hi or get a picture. I just I
don't know, I just kind of we forget something. Maybe
we take you for granted. I don't know if that's
what I'm trying to do.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
Well, are they getting so excited about Dan?
Speaker 5 (30:13):
We see him every day and then pictures chasing him
across the street asking you about the middle relievers of
the twins, Well, what's going on here?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Although when we were at Celebrity Family Feud, Diplo was
there and I didn't know if he was a sports guy.
I didn't go up to him, but somebody said, you know,
they think all celebrities know all celebrities, and so Diplo
was I don't know, fifteen feet away and then I
(30:42):
was just standing there. I wasn't really familiar with him.
I know he's a very popular DJ but I guess
he was on Celebrity Family Feud prior to us.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
But Diplo was in the building, that's who that was.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Yes, no kid, Yes, yeah, uh what Marvin, I didn't
know that either.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
I was told it was like, hey, there's Diplo, and
I go, okay, now what do I do? Diplo is
like a DJ, yeah, music producer.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yeah, yeah, yeah he's not. Yeah, he's not like skrill X.
Speaker 8 (31:19):
Is he He's.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Probably almost exactly like it wasn't skrill x a thing
for a while there.
Speaker 8 (31:30):
He was, and then everybody battle was that style of
techno is terrible?
Speaker 13 (31:36):
Yeah, wow yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Yes.

Diplo Diplo.

the way tire buying should be. Keith in Denver, Good morning, Keith.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 11 (33:19):
I'd like to visit about what we think. There's a
baseball game here in Denver. You all originally from the Midwest,
moved here in eighty one, used to play baseball every day.
It was part of the eighty thousand fans there was
for the first Rockies opening day and the disappointment we
(33:42):
have here in this city is ridiculous. You made a
comment the other day day, I love your show about
the attendance at the Rockies games. The problem is, if
you look at the TV screen for the attendance of
the Rockies game, at least half the ballpark is from
the other team. There are so many transplants here in
(34:03):
Denver that half the ballpark is for sure for the
other team. It's a ridiculous scenario. I refuse to go
any more to give Monk for a ten dollars year
in return. We also had four players, four players that
were given market contract offer. Receiver had them or we're
(34:28):
giving them in Aeronauto holiday story to Witzky, and all
of them said they didn't want to play for him.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
It says a lot. Thanks for the phone call, Keith.
I hear the disappointment in your voice. You get success,
and then all of a sudden you think that you're
kind of entitled to that it's just going to continue.
And then you get an owner as a different thought
process here, you know, manage it's a business. And then
(34:57):
do you have the right people, the right people in
play where you're bringing in the right town and spending
the money. And then there's nothing you can do. You're
held captive. It's it's your baseball team, and for better
or for worse, trying to support them.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:13):
See the problem for the Rockies too is that, well
they're spending isn't terrible. The Tigers spending is only like
five or six spots higher than that. There's only like
twenty five million dollar difference or something like that. So
clearly they spend way better.
Speaker 7 (35:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
I often talk about NFL teams when somebody says, oh,
they got all these draft picks, who's drafting?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
That's what I want to know.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Just like with OKC, they have all these draft picks,
Well they have Sam Presty. I feel pretty good about that.
The Ravens would have draft picks and I'd go Ozzie Newsome,
I feel pretty good about that. See, that's the key.
You know, the Browns have had draft picks for the
last fifteen years. They just don't draft. Well, you know,
they've drafted a couple, you know, Joe Thomas is a
(35:57):
Hall of Famer, but they've whiffed. That's the important part.
And even when you get like Kansas City, Red Beach
is incredible and they're drafting at the end of the
of the round, it's do you have the right people
to select the right people? That's where it starts.
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Yeah, Pauling, I was looking at the attendance so far
this year. It's a small sample size, but the Rockies
aren't that bad. They're like eighteenth in attendance. People still
go to the games. So my question is which is
the easiest sport to attend your team's game when they stink?
Is the obvious answer Baseball because you're outside. It's like
going to a park with a baseball game when they stink.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
Well, there's a lot of games.
Speaker 3 (36:39):
You got eighty one games to be able to choose
from football. You know, you get half of the seventeen
game schedule. Feels like you have to go to those
games because you're spending all that money.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Whether they're good or not, on your ticket.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
Yes, yes, I just can't imagine if you're an owner,
Let's say you're the owner of the Rockies or the
A's the White Sox last year, are you going to
every game?
Speaker 2 (37:07):
Every home game?
Speaker 3 (37:08):
You imagine just sitting there and you're watching an aptitude,
but you have to watch your product because it's yours.
That would be that'd be a challenge. I mean, you
can have a bad football team, but you got to
go to eight games, and you know you may win
three of those games. So it feels like that's a
(37:28):
little bit easier to go to a football game. A
because of the tickets and B because well it's only
you know, a finite amount of games here. Baseball's just
there's so many of those games. Uh, Gibbs in Virginia Beach, I, Gibbs,
what's on your mind?
Speaker 14 (37:47):
No, beg this is the guy that was talking about
fair spawning with the fit.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Hey dan, Oh, Gibbs with a little human were there?
I see what you were doing talking to somebody. Okay,
all right, what do you have for me?
Speaker 7 (38:06):
Hey?
Speaker 14 (38:07):
Hi, Bud, thanks for calling me back.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
As always, I want.
Speaker 11 (38:12):
To give a shout out to Keith in Virginia Beach.
Speaker 14 (38:14):
I love that the Virginia Beach crowd is uh heavy
in this right now.
Speaker 11 (38:19):
Keith, I'm here for you, man. Anytime you want me
to come over and start moving that stuff out.
Speaker 14 (38:24):
I got your brother, uh and shout out Gibs.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Gibbs, let's get okay, never mind another day, Gibbs, that's work.
Speaker 2 (38:36):
I have no idea Gibbs was given us some humor.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
Oh I missed it.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Yeah, me too.
Speaker 4 (38:43):
I've been there, I've been there.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
Yes, you suddenly you sounded funnier. Zach and Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Hi, Zach, Oh, good morning Dan.
Speaker 14 (38:55):
How are you doing this morning?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Oh? Oh just wonderful.
Speaker 14 (38:58):
Yeah, Hey, that's good. Here, glad, it's not just me
over here. Six foot three and seven inche and a
deadly two twenty pounds.
Speaker 11 (39:07):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
I just wanted to touch base.
Speaker 14 (39:08):
Last week, you guys were talking about a baby one
the idea first time caller. I think you guys also
got to leave a space for their weight so they
can also earn their first bell at some point, you know,
throw an extra time box, cent it back to get
it time. That'd be something fun. So I just want
to touch base. Earlier, we were talking about careers that
were just over spinning and over time. You guys were
(39:29):
talking about scrill X. Did you know that he started
touring at the age of sixteen and is still touring
to this date.
Speaker 3 (39:38):
Well that's great, thank you, Zach. I didn't know I
was going to get an update on scrill X a DJ,
but I got one. I hope, I hope America is
further enriched because of that.
Speaker 8 (39:50):
Is that a unique situation too, by the way that
somebody started touring serene and continue to to this day.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Hey, it's e me because I brought up scrill after
seeing Diplo at celebrity families.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
I believe that he's a thing.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Yeah yeah, Do you think he was wondering who we were?
Speaker 4 (40:16):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Yeah, he's definitely wondering who we were.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
I don't even actually think he thought long enough to
wonder who we were.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
He just moved right by us. There's a bunch of
random people, yeah, randos. Yeah, all right, update the poll
results if you can.
Speaker 8 (40:30):
There, Seaton OCN Heck, yeah, which team that is currently
down three to one is most done? Hurricanes, Knicks, Stars, Timberwolves.
Right now, Timberwolves have about thirty five percent of that vote.
Close race between Hurricanes and Knicks. People still believing in
the stars.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 3 (40:53):
Coming up next hour, we'll talk to Stephen Jackson. He
is co host of All the Smoke Great podcast, Quinn
Buckner Pacers broadcaster. Also we'll hear from Terry Bradshaw. He
had some choice words for the Pittsburgh Steelers organization waiting
around for Aaron Rodgers. There's also been a little chatter
about Kirk Cousins. Future Kirk Cousins didn't show up for OTAs.
(41:18):
He would always strike me as he would be the
first guy there at OTAs. Now he doesn't show up.
But I think there's a reason why he didn't show
up to OTAs for the Atlanta Falcons, so we'll have
that story. Also, we'll have Terry Bradshaw commenting on the
Steelers who are waiting for Aaron Rodgers. Eight seven seven
