Speaker 1: It could be the final day of the NBA season.
Speaker 1: If for doing Elton John, I'm gonna need a little
Speaker 1: tiny dance And I know it's cliche, but we need.
Speaker 2: A little almost famous vibe.
Speaker 1: On the show Today it could be the final day
Speaker 1: of the pro basketball season as Oklahoma City is looking
Speaker 1: to eliminate the Indiana Pacers tonight. The Pacers just took
Speaker 1: the floor eight minutes ago for their pregame walkthrough, and
Speaker 1: during that walk through, the status of Tyreese Halliburton will
Speaker 1: be determined by the medical staff.
Speaker 2: We probably won't know until Tip.
Speaker 1: Live in studio injury experts, among other things, Chris Cameronnie,
Speaker 1: I always get a kick out of guys in our
Speaker 1: business when there's like an injured player who just played
Speaker 1: doctor on air or on TV. Strain calf could lead
Speaker 1: to a torn achilles, all the things.
Speaker 2: Do you have any is that what he's doing? Yeah,
Speaker 2: strain calf.
Speaker 1: Do you have any hot medical takes for us on
Speaker 1: tyrees Slliburton's status.
Speaker 3: Well, I've heard that a strained calf can lead to
Speaker 3: an achilles.
Speaker 1: That's the take today. I've heard that twenty five times today.
Speaker 3: People are probably just lazy and assuming that a strained
Speaker 3: calf that Kevin Durant suffered six or seven years ago
Speaker 3: in the finals that led to a torn achilles could
Speaker 3: potentially do the same thing. I know there is a correlation,
Speaker 3: so you can't discount that.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, but.
Speaker 3: My Haliburton take is the Pacers probably need Haliburton to
Speaker 3: win game six.
Speaker 2: Good take, good take, good take.
Speaker 3: Is it gonna happen?
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean, I picked Oklahoma City
Speaker 2: in five.
Speaker 1: It's it's a historic season when you look at the metrics,
Speaker 1: and you know me, I'm a data guy, analytics, let's
Speaker 1: get into it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, their net was plus thirteen.
Speaker 3: What about their PR?
Speaker 1: The PR is a little bit dated TK Okay, so
Speaker 1: you know, okay, yeah, God, God blessed John Hollinger. Okay,
Speaker 1: but the PR is a little bit dated. Have you
Speaker 1: ever been aggregated, by the way.
Speaker 3: Yes, but not for like online stuff, more just stories
Speaker 3: I got. I got aggregated up the wazoo when I
Speaker 3: went and hung out with stone Cold Steve Austin, because
Speaker 3: like he doesn't give a lot of interviews.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, So all of the wrestling blog websites aggregated a
Speaker 3: lot of my stuff, and one of my colleagues. Chris Vanini,
Speaker 3: national writer at The Athletic, is a huge wrestling fan,
Speaker 3: and he was like, Dude, this aggregated tweet has like
Speaker 3: over like a thousand retweets in like an hour, and
Speaker 3: it was just basically somebody rewriting the most interesting things
Speaker 3: that Steve told me in our interview.
Speaker 1: Well, someone who doesn't frequent wrestling blogs, I guess that's
Speaker 1: why I was unaware that you were aggregated for Stone Cold.
Speaker 1: You have, over the course of your career doing this.
Speaker 1: How long have you been doing this in media? Thirteen fourteen,
Speaker 1: thirteen years. You've interviewed a lot of really fascinating characters.
Speaker 1: And one of the things I like about your work
Speaker 1: is you really do think out of the box. So
Speaker 1: I've heard cliche things say, is there one that stands out?
Speaker 1: Like instantly, if I say to you, most interesting conversation
Speaker 1: you've ever had in your life as a journalist is
Speaker 1: the record?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Is there one that stands out if we're talking on
Speaker 3: the record, honestly, it might be recency biased, but it
Speaker 3: might be my days in Hawaii? What's your right?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: Honestly, like just because for about forty eight hours Trevor
Speaker 3: and I were basically on the record driving around the
Speaker 3: Big Island about anything from the University of Utah football
Speaker 3: recruiting to Dion Sanders to visiting the Middle East and
Speaker 3: how you go about making sure you don't have any
Speaker 3: cultural you know, misguided mis cues all those things. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean, my my brain's been fried since becoming a parent,
Speaker 3: so I'll go recency biases definitely, Trevor. But there there
Speaker 3: are there are other ones. I mean even last year
Speaker 3: Steve's up there. There's a lot of them. Man, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna have to circle.
Speaker 2: Back to.
Speaker 3: Ye was really good. Yeah. Yeah, Sometimes people are interesting.
Speaker 3: Sometimes their stories are more interesting. Like a few years ago,
Speaker 3: I went out to Colorado to do a story on
Speaker 3: Trey McBride, who is second. You know, he was the
Speaker 3: second round pick of the Cardinals and now he's one
Speaker 3: of the highest paid tight I think he is the
Speaker 3: highest paid tight end in the NFL. Went to Colorado
Speaker 3: State and he he was raised by two moms, and
Speaker 3: that that I don't really don't really have a lot
Speaker 3: of historical context for NFL players who were raised by
Speaker 3: two moms. So I went out there and spent two
Speaker 3: days with them. And got to hang out at their house,
Speaker 3: go with them while they did meals on wheels and
Speaker 3: all the stuff, and it was very very cool. So
Speaker 3: there are interesting people and then there are people who
Speaker 3: have very very cool stories. So sure there's a lot.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to circle back because my brain is
Speaker 3: a little mushy since you.
Speaker 1: Know, when my phone rings and it's Trevor, Yeah, I go, okay,
Speaker 1: here we go.
Speaker 2: What's what's there?
Speaker 3: Happened?
Speaker 1: Because you dude, you never know ever, Like truly, I
Speaker 1: cannot predict what's about to happen, and every conversation includes
Speaker 1: some wild twist and turn. Where are you at? What
Speaker 1: are you doing for work? You know, Like I can't
Speaker 1: say what he told me as far as what he's
Speaker 1: going to do next the last time I talked to him,
Speaker 1: but it's a completely different thing than what he's been doing.
Speaker 3: It's it's interesting, like the people like that. A lot
Speaker 3: of most people would assume that they're usually bloviating or
Speaker 3: more often than not, stretching the truth. But in my
Speaker 3: time with Trevor, everything that sounded too good to be
Speaker 3: true actually was true. There's a lot of people that
Speaker 3: are like that. Some people are just very good storytellers.
Speaker 3: Some people have very interesting lived life experience, so it's like, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, I know Trevor had a very interesting lived
Speaker 3: experience working for Deon Sanders, but like the guy got
Speaker 3: into physical altercation with his assistant coach, like it was
Speaker 3: caught on video and like Warren Sapp is narrating it,
Speaker 3: Like I appreciate people like Trevor who are a DIMA
Speaker 3: doesn't in the sports in the sports world because he
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily have time for the he what's the word, like,
Speaker 3: he doesn't necessarily like cow taw to what most people
Speaker 3: expect to be like the norm in that he's just
Speaker 3: going to tell you the truth and what happened, and
Speaker 3: he's not gonna like maybe you know, what's the word
Speaker 3: I'm looking for here. He's just going to tell you
Speaker 3: what happened, and that's you generally, what happened. He's just yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, like he told me that. You know back
Speaker 3: in the day, you know, Utah's sids were always like
Speaker 3: shaking in their boots anytime Trevor was requested to talk
Speaker 3: as a player, because Trevor was just gonna be like, yeah,
Speaker 3: UCLA's quarterback sucks, right, Yeah, And it's just like, you
Speaker 3: don't get guys like that in this industry really ever,
Speaker 3: so when you get them, you have to appreciate what
Speaker 3: they can offer for you.
Speaker 1: Well, it's a dream for people like us because what
Speaker 1: it's turned.
Speaker 3: Into because he sorry to interrupted, because he doesn't expect
Speaker 3: any sort of reciprocation, which is which is maybe where
Speaker 3: you were going in this day and age where it's
Speaker 3: kind of like scratch my backs, I'll scratch yours, which
Speaker 3: is not how my job goes. And I mean Trevor's proman.
Speaker 3: He played in the NFL for like six years. He
Speaker 3: played here. He knows how it goes. Whereas a lot
Speaker 3: of people who either make it to that level or
Speaker 3: even don't generally are operating in a realm of may
Speaker 3: maybe mistrust because it's it's not easy to trust people
Speaker 3: that you don't know that well or entrust them with
Speaker 3: your story or your word. But Trevor is the type
Speaker 3: of person that will just tell you and move on
Speaker 3: like he's not thinking about it. As soon as I
Speaker 3: filed my story. It wasn't one of those things where
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, I wonder if Trevor's going to be
Speaker 3: pissed about what's in the story. Yeah, it was like
Speaker 3: the next time I heard from him, it wasn't even
Speaker 3: like you even talk about it.
Speaker 1: He probably wasn't even on his radar, correct, right? Who
Speaker 1: would play Trevor in the biopic Chris Pratt? No?
Speaker 3: God, no, come on, how dare you?
Speaker 1: I just try to think of like action because I
Speaker 1: alway used to kill Trevor Bigg.
Speaker 2: Trevor and I.
Speaker 1: Did a ton of radio back in the day together,
Speaker 1: a lot of pref and post game football, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: for both Utah and BYU. And he would roll in
Speaker 1: studio for an hour at the old station, and he
Speaker 1: still rolls in here when he's in town. And he
Speaker 1: would tell me these stories off air that were so
Speaker 1: wild yet to your point true that they actually happened.
Speaker 1: And I started telling I'm like, you're Batman, dude, Like
Speaker 1: you're a real life bat You're the real life Batman.
Speaker 1: It's it's wild to consider all the nutty things our
Speaker 1: guy has really got himself into.
Speaker 3: The problem is is guys who are funny generally aren't
Speaker 3: six or five. Keanu Reeves, Yeah, Kian is not funny enough,
Speaker 3: like was like stoner funny, like this built head we're
Speaker 3: gonna have to circle back on let's take let's table,
Speaker 3: let's table it. I like that, right, it might come
Speaker 3: to me.
Speaker 1: But what I was gonna say is the reason Trevor
Speaker 1: is such a breath of fresh air. And I don't
Speaker 1: really know when to pinpoint this as far as when
Speaker 1: it happened, but like I have stopped following athletes on
Speaker 1: social media, like I don't need to follow Steph where
Speaker 1: it's like all right, game time, or Donovan like Cavot, Like,
Speaker 1: you don't get anything interesting from most of these athletes.
Speaker 2: Now that's not a blanket statement. That's true for all
Speaker 2: of them.
Speaker 1: But whether it's a coach or a player sitting down
Speaker 1: with a journalist like you, doing an interview with a
Speaker 1: radio host like me, or addressing the media post game,
Speaker 1: it's rare that you get something that is anything other
Speaker 1: than boiler plate cliche, walk the company line.
Speaker 3: But you know why that is.
Speaker 2: But it didn't used to be that way.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it used to be that beat writers
Speaker 3: reporters were entrusted with the word of the athlete because
Speaker 3: there wasn't social media. The Internet really hadn't taken off.
Speaker 3: And even like within the last I would say, the
Speaker 3: last five to seven years, that's changed. Even as Twitter started,
Speaker 3: you were still you still hadn't seen the marketing, the
Speaker 3: monits monetization of the social media platforms my story and
Speaker 3: my own words. And that's fine. You I don't necessarily
Speaker 3: get frustrated that athletes no longer give give the scoop
Speaker 3: to you know, a writer. A lot of these guys
Speaker 3: are writing the players tribune stuff, and oftentimes they're they're
Speaker 3: very very good. Sometimes you know, they come on the
Speaker 3: fourth of July in consecutive years. Sometimes you know, your
Speaker 3: Fourth of July is ruined and key time Gordon too big,
Speaker 3: but we need to bring back a little too big,
Speaker 3: Yeah we do. But yeah, it that that that is
Speaker 3: a reality check topic.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: We could we could spend hours and hours on that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just interesting and consider any other So Trevor
Speaker 1: Riley certainly good answer the question from a local standpoint.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't mean to butter you up. You're
Speaker 2: very good at your job.
Speaker 1: So you get good things from Kyle when you sit
Speaker 1: down with Kyle. You get good things from you know,
Speaker 1: our local players and coaches when you have access to them.
Speaker 1: Is there any other whether it's Jazz or BYU or
Speaker 1: even RSL or the University of Utah. Any other notable
Speaker 1: interviews or stories you've done that really stand out, or
Speaker 1: characters kind of like in the elk of Trev.
Speaker 3: Quinn's The Quinn Profile. I did. I think the year
Speaker 3: after it was not the year that they beat Okay,
Speaker 3: see when they had Paul George and Russ and Carmelos
Speaker 3: the year after, so they were still kind of on
Speaker 3: their upward trajectory.
Speaker 1: The reason you know that so well is because Ricky
Speaker 1: Rubio played for the jazz and.
Speaker 2: Pop people confused me for you. Sorry, man, you just
Speaker 2: look like it when.
Speaker 3: I when I would go to the ZBBC, fans were
Speaker 3: waiting outside asking for interviews, and one time somebody like
Speaker 3: basically almost stepped out in front of my crappy rusty
Speaker 3: Sue Brew and it was.
Speaker 1: Like Ricky and I was like, come on, man, didn't
Speaker 1: you have a Rubio kit?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I was gifted a Rubio kit.
Speaker 1: Yeah do you want? I mean, you know who gave
Speaker 1: it to me? I would guess it was fault. It's
Speaker 1: not Antonio Daniel's Vancouver kid. But oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: real quick, before you continue Trav had no frame of reference.
Speaker 1: We were talking about because we we're gonna play wassats soon,
Speaker 1: whether you know we're gonna get up and.
Speaker 3: Was, yeah, you didn't respond to the text.
Speaker 2: I had a busy couple of days. But okay, I
Speaker 2: had a busy couple of days. But so I was.
Speaker 1: I was talking to Trav about it because Trav was
Speaker 1: doing the finals and for our listeners, Travis Heenderson, the
Speaker 1: supremely talented executive producer of Jazz Broadcast Games, is currently
Speaker 1: broadcast in the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2: Our guy could do what he does.
Speaker 1: Like, people at our market don't know how talented Travis
Speaker 1: Sanderson is. Like, he is a gem to have here.
Speaker 1: So he's currently doing the finals. But we're going back
Speaker 1: and forth about our wash at weekend, and he didn't
Speaker 1: know the antonio. He didn't know the context. He's like,
Speaker 1: is he gonna wear that antonio? Daniel Daniel Jersey again.
Speaker 1: I'm like probably, Like he's like, where did he get that?
Speaker 1: I'm like your boy over here. It's a great story too.
Speaker 1: It's a great story. I can't believe you found it
Speaker 1: in such good condition.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's I mean, it's got to be at
Speaker 3: least twenty years old and it fits you. It's great, Like,
Speaker 3: like I said, it's in great condition. It's on a
Speaker 3: hangar in my closet.
Speaker 2: That a guy.
Speaker 1: It was literally the only one online. I did a
Speaker 1: bunch of eBay. It was eBay. Yeah, I found it
Speaker 1: on eBay. But for our listeners, ck, you were in
Speaker 1: studio with Amy, I think, yeah. It was during COVID,
Speaker 1: during COVID, so stuff was weird. Yeah, yeah, we both
Speaker 1: had man buns.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we were You talked about like I dropped
Speaker 3: like in Antonio Daniel's reference, and you were like, if
Speaker 3: you can name the first team that Antonio Daniels played for,
Speaker 3: I'll give you a hundred bucks. And I was like,
Speaker 3: if I can name him, I'll take a jersey. And
Speaker 3: then that's close?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 1: So? What happened was No, you brought up the fact
Speaker 1: Jazz fans were mad that Antonio Daniels had something critical
Speaker 1: to say about Donovan's and my thing was like, why
Speaker 1: do we care what Antonio Daniel says? And I said
Speaker 1: to the two of you, if you can name the
Speaker 1: team that drafted Antonio Daniels, I'll give you one thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: That's how convinced I was you weren gonna be able
Speaker 2: to do I should have taken there, and you didn't.
Speaker 1: Even pump fake boom Vancouver Grizzlies. And then because you're
Speaker 1: a gentleman, you said, I will accept an Antonio Daniel's
Speaker 1: jersey instead of a thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: It's the best jersey in the history of the NBA.
Speaker 3: It's a great jersey and segue. Antonio Daniels also played
Speaker 3: for the Seattle SuperSonics. He did, who once upon a
Speaker 3: time where the Seattle SuperSonics before they were the Oklahoma
Speaker 3: City Thunder.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes he did.
Speaker 1: Since you brought that up real quick, we got a
Speaker 1: couple of minutes here in this segment before we break.
Speaker 1: I think the NBA is going to approve expansion this year. Really,
Speaker 1: I think in the off season. I don't know this
Speaker 1: to be true, but the more and more I read
Speaker 1: into it, the more and more I talk to people,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of momentum to get a team back
Speaker 1: in Seattle and then have one in Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: I think that is going to be approved this offseason. Now.
Speaker 1: The undercurrent of the Vegas team is that Lebron wants
Speaker 1: to be an owner, and so a lot of people
Speaker 1: believe that Adam Silver is kind of brokering that deal
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. And Lebron has one year left on
Speaker 1: his contract. He got his kid a job in the league,
Speaker 1: so I think he's probably ready to step aside, and
Speaker 1: and then he'll probably be the face of the Vegas
Speaker 1: NBA franchise. I don't know what the Seattle situation is
Speaker 1: going to look like, but it was announced yesterday ck
Speaker 1: that the La Lakers were sold. And when you dig
Speaker 1: into this, and then you look at the new owners
Speaker 1: in Dallas, and you look at the new owners in Phoenix, Ishpia,
Speaker 1: and potentially Lebron and his crew in Vegas with deep
Speaker 1: pocketed investors, and I would imagine plenty of titans of
Speaker 1: industry up in Seattle. So whoever gets that organization. The
Speaker 1: reason I'm bringing it up is the Lakers were sold
Speaker 1: to a gentleman who currently owns the.
Speaker 2: Dodgers, and man, where's his name here?
Speaker 3: Mark Walter?
Speaker 1: Mark Walter, thank you? So Mark Walter is currently the
Speaker 1: owner of the Dodgers. He tried to buy the Clippers,
Speaker 1: he was outbid by Steve Balmer. Steve Balmer has a
Speaker 1: net worth of one hundred and thirty billion dollars. This
Speaker 1: Mark Walter Gentleman allegedly or reportedly has a network that
Speaker 1: is in that cul de sac one hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: billion dollars. The money that's coming into Like, I don't
Speaker 1: know Qualtricks financials.
Speaker 2: When Ryan bought the team, the number I saw was.
Speaker 3: Do wasn't it well less than two?
Speaker 1: I think Qualtricks the Qualtrics valuation I think was twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four billion.
Speaker 3: About the Jazz sale.
Speaker 1: The Jazz sale, Ryan paid eight hundred million for it.
Speaker 1: And then I think with investors, let's see porter, will
Speaker 1: you look up what Ryan bought the Jazz war please?
Speaker 1: So I think it was approaching to it was over one, right,
Speaker 1: so one point four one point five maybe closer to
Speaker 1: the two.
Speaker 2: Ryan himself wrote a check for eight hundred million.
Speaker 1: And again I don't really know the financials of Qualtrics
Speaker 1: or Ryan, but Ryan, his brother, his dad at the time,
Speaker 1: moved tragically has passed, and one of their business partners
Speaker 1: I believe, split it four ways. Obviously Ryan has investors
Speaker 1: other than his own bank account. But there's this movement
Speaker 1: and momentum in the NBA now where even if you
Speaker 1: have five six billion dollars. One point six billion dollars
Speaker 1: was the price tech like when so Ryan put up
Speaker 1: half of that. So when Ryan took over the team,
Speaker 1: the narrative was, well, Okay, we've got a tech rich
Speaker 1: bro that has deeper pockets than the Millers. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's the case anymore. Like there's a world
Speaker 1: now where Ryan is no longer this guy that has
Speaker 1: such deep pockets, Like, if there are one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty billion dollars, you'll pay whatever you want to for
Speaker 1: your NBA team. I mean, Mark, the guy that just
Speaker 1: bought the Lakers owns the Dodgers. Their payroll is one
Speaker 1: hundred and forty million dollars more than whoever is in second.
Speaker 1: I think it might be the Angels. The Yankees are
Speaker 1: actually in fourth. There's like this movement now where these
Speaker 1: guys have monopoly money and it might even make the
Speaker 1: playing field more uneven if they don't give a rip
Speaker 1: about luxury tax or second apron.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know how much that affects the Jazz though,
Speaker 3: because at the end of the day, the Jazz are
Speaker 3: never going to outbid anybody for free agents. So like
Speaker 3: that that might affect the the New York, Chicago, Dallas, LA. Markets.
Speaker 3: Maybe it'll affect the Vegas market if that comes to fruition.
Speaker 3: But for Salt Egg, for the jazz, that's never going
Speaker 3: to affect the people working for them here because you
Speaker 3: have to be able to strike the lottery four or
Speaker 3: five times in a decade in order to build a contender.
Speaker 3: And I didn't mean. I didn't mean to use the
Speaker 3: word lottery in such a painful year for the jazz,
Speaker 3: So apologies for the jazz fans listening. But like I always,
Speaker 3: and it's lazy, but I always think of the Spurs,
Speaker 3: and I think of the Spurs after David Robinson, you
Speaker 3: think of I think, I think you have to get
Speaker 3: a you know, a top three pick or the first
Speaker 3: pick would be great. You get Tim Duncan, and then
Speaker 3: from there they build a dynasty out of a bunch
Speaker 3: of dudes that people either didn't rate, underrated, or just
Speaker 3: never really have even around. So it's doable. But I
Speaker 3: don't know how much monopoly money that billionaires are spending
Speaker 3: in larger markets will affect the team here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I mean, it's the right parallel to use,
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's lazy because I think it's
Speaker 1: the and it's a different league now, it's a different
Speaker 1: collective bargain agreement, so it's hard to draw a straight line.
Speaker 1: But what the Spurs did with that group should give
Speaker 1: jazz fans hope that in a city like Salt Lake,
Speaker 1: you can actually do it.
Speaker 3: I mean, but you could still, Like look at the Nuggets.
Speaker 3: The Nuggets drafted the best player in the world in
Speaker 3: the second round, second round player, so it's like it's
Speaker 3: still doable. You just yeah, it sounds reductive, but at
Speaker 3: the end of the day, all you have to do
Speaker 3: is get good.
Speaker 1: Somebody listens to the drive through Friday two to six,
Speaker 1: monod you nobly second round pick. Better known around here
Speaker 1: is a rich man's talon Horton Tucker. That's what I've heard.
Speaker 1: You got to stop sending me that kid's tweets, all right.
Speaker 1: ESPN seven hundred welcomes Nate Jackson to Kingsbury Hall November seventh,
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. Tickets around sale. Now little known Spence
Speaker 1: checkets fact cek.
Speaker 2: You ready for it? Yeah, let's get his mike on.
Speaker 1: You're ready for a little known span It's Jackets. I
Speaker 1: just went third person twice.
Speaker 2: I never do that. Love Elton John, absolutely love Elton John.
Speaker 1: I saw Elton John and Billy Joel together Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe fifteen twenty years ago. One of
Speaker 1: the best shows I've ever seen.
Speaker 3: That's very cool. Yeah that so were they on a
Speaker 3: tour together?
Speaker 1: Was?
Speaker 3: Okay?
Speaker 2: No, they were on a tour together? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah. My in laws went to Elton's last concert here.
Speaker 3: We had a bunch of friends go to Elton's concert.
Speaker 3: Last concert here. I bet he puts on a really
Speaker 3: good show.
Speaker 2: And I haven't seen it in fifteen years or so.
Speaker 2: Like how old is? How old would you guess Elton
Speaker 2: John is?
Speaker 3: Now, I'm going to guess. Porter's gonna fact check or
Speaker 3: you're gonna fact Check's go on, I'm going to go
Speaker 3: seventy four.
Speaker 1: Seventy eight. Oh, they're pretty close. So I don't know
Speaker 1: what sort of energy he has at this stage of
Speaker 1: his career. So I saw him when he was just.
Speaker 3: Like little kids? Man, does he Yeah? Okay, I feel
Speaker 3: like these old rich people are just say yeah, I
Speaker 3: feel like being a dad again.
Speaker 2: Dave Letterman.
Speaker 1: I listened to an interview with Dave Letterman and he
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I've just started having kids.
Speaker 2: He's like in his seventies.
Speaker 3: No, Dave had a kid towards the tail end of
Speaker 3: his show, because I remember it was a big deal
Speaker 3: because he really didn't have kids until he was like
Speaker 3: in his fifties, and then he had like the heart thing.
Speaker 3: Because I was a Letterman guy. I remember it was
Speaker 3: a big deal that Dave Letterman had a kid.
Speaker 1: You are correct, Harry Letterman is twenty one years old.
Speaker 1: But then there was a gap, and I think he's
Speaker 1: had a couple more. Really, all right, Anyway, in this interview,
Speaker 1: Picasso potentially in this interview he was asked like, what
Speaker 1: are your regrets, and he said that I didn't become
Speaker 1: a father younger. So I don't know Elton's current kid situation,
Speaker 1: but I saw him on tour. Let's see, he probably
Speaker 1: was in his early sixties, So I don't know what
Speaker 1: energy he has in his late seventies, but I would
Speaker 1: imagine it's worth Awhile, I know he didn't write most
Speaker 1: of his songs, but it's.
Speaker 2: Just like I love his voice. The vibes are good,
Speaker 2: the vibes are great.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine that, like it is hard to
Speaker 3: have somebody like axcept the energy at Elton John concert
Speaker 3: for sure, unless somebody is maybe singing a little too loud.
Speaker 3: I think that's outside of talking in the movie theater.
Speaker 3: Being at a concert and having somebody close to you
Speaker 3: singing louder than the actual person singing to me is
Speaker 3: like nails on a chalkboard.
Speaker 2: You know. Another reason, yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: Another recent development of mine is and I noticed this
Speaker 1: went to a music festival. You were your shoes off?
Speaker 1: Of course, did you take a rug? Of course, obviously
Speaker 1: shoes off? Gummy, the whole thing really tighten, really tight
Speaker 1: at altogether. It was in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Dave and Timka right,
Speaker 1: little little camp, little father, John Misty, Oh naturally, let's
Speaker 1: see uh John Butler trio.
Speaker 3: Yeah for real?
Speaker 1: Wow, Yes, excellent poll, Little DAWs potentially randomly Goo Goo dolls,
Speaker 1: which pissed everybody off.
Speaker 3: Hey, oh no, no, Iris is a great song. Oh
Speaker 3: it is nuts vent listen, man, we're of different eras.
Speaker 3: That was probably the annoying song when you were in college,
Speaker 3: and for me it was the song that you wanted
Speaker 3: to dance with, dance with a girl too, in like
Speaker 3: eighth ninth grade. Okay, So like everybody has those songs man,
Speaker 3: where you're just like kind of like, ooh, I do
Speaker 3: I have the Cohons.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna hit you with this lineup and it's gonna
Speaker 1: be right on brand.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm ready.
Speaker 2: This is why we went.
Speaker 1: Okay so sound on Sound Music Festival twenty twenty two, Luminears,
Speaker 1: Father John Misty head in the Heart, the National Band
Speaker 1: of Horses, Trampled by Turtles, Brandy Carlyle, Stevie Nicks was incredible.
Speaker 2: Zach Bryan. I actually saw Zach Bryan play.
Speaker 3: Not a country singer, according to our guy Porter Larson.
Speaker 2: Oh no, yeah, dude.
Speaker 1: I made the mistake of being like, dude, I found
Speaker 1: a new country and he was so mad at me.
Speaker 3: He's pop country.
Speaker 2: Okay, fair enough. The roots were there as well, so
Speaker 2: that was fun.
Speaker 1: But but what I realized is this is a young
Speaker 1: man's game, dude. Music festivals are a young man's game.
Speaker 1: Wait when was this twenty twenty two? But like, what
Speaker 1: time of your Sorry, it was summer, so it was
Speaker 1: hot humid. Yes, yes, Augusty, I believe what spf are
Speaker 1: you working with?
Speaker 2: Forty five? So my whole let's go down the spath.
Speaker 1: My sunscreen approaches this forty five fifty base fifteen spray
Speaker 1: with a little banana oil.
Speaker 2: Right, well, coconut oil. Your smells really nice.
Speaker 3: You're looking to get some some melanin in there.
Speaker 1: Oh look look at me, man, I mean you you
Speaker 1: ten instantly?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I need a minute. Yeah, okay, I need a
Speaker 3: couple of bits. Let's not yeah, bro, but we got
Speaker 3: to be careful with those burns. As long as you're
Speaker 3: hitting the dirm. You're wrong.
Speaker 2: We've been lied to have.
Speaker 3: We's good for you.
Speaker 2: Good for you.
Speaker 1: Now, don't take my word for it. Anyone listening wear sunscreen. Okay,
Speaker 1: don't be like, hey, I heard Spence said I should
Speaker 1: just get burned all the time. No, it's a slow burn, okay,
Speaker 1: and then eventually I tan and it's a good look.
Speaker 1: So that's my sunscreen approach to fifty bays.
Speaker 2: Then we go with the spray with about five.
Speaker 3: Ten fifteen banana oil. Wasn't ready for that.
Speaker 2: It smells so nice.
Speaker 3: Do you do that on the golf course? Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: okay yeah.
Speaker 1: In fact, next time you see our guy Gerald, he
Speaker 1: gives me a tremendous crap for it, because it attracts bees.
Speaker 3: Aren't you worried that it might like spill in your
Speaker 3: bag and then the spray I mean the oil.
Speaker 2: No, first of all, I keep it in the side pocket.
Speaker 3: Oh naturally.
Speaker 1: Would you like to know my golf bag set up? Yeah,
Speaker 1: outside pocket, two gloves usually new to make sure I'm
Speaker 1: good when I set up the bag, Take the glove out,
Speaker 1: put the keys in the wall in the outside pocket,
Speaker 1: inside pocket, sunscreen, CBD oil for the back. Yep, you know,
Speaker 1: vapor type vix rub for the shoulder. I'm an old
Speaker 1: man at this point, so I have to make sure
Speaker 1: my injuries are all taken care of. Upper right pocket,
Speaker 1: my green you know the tool used to fix the green?
Speaker 3: Oh, I have one?
Speaker 2: I know you do. Yeah, of course.
Speaker 1: Obviously my ballmarker, which is magnetic. That's to that what
Speaker 1: happened to a quarter? I have a couple of course
Speaker 1: in there, because Trey never has a ballmarker.
Speaker 3: Well, the guy from Happy Gilmore just picked it up. Good,
Speaker 3: good pull coming coming. The two two's coming this summer.
Speaker 3: Man like next month. It's gonna be bad, I know,
Speaker 3: but we can talk about it. I'm gonna interrupt you.
Speaker 3: We'll go back. Have you watched Stick on Apple TV.
Speaker 1: I have not own Wilson. There's it's it's Ted Lasso
Speaker 1: for golf.
Speaker 3: But but but Amanda is actually learning about golf, so
Speaker 3: they actually talk about golf. Okay, I think you thirty
Speaker 3: minute shows. I'm just throwing it out there. There's nothing
Speaker 3: else to watch. I get it. I get it. He
Speaker 3: to me, it's a little too wow, I get it.
Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
Speaker 3: It's his his character Midnight in Paris. His best roles
Speaker 3: are in Wes Anderson movies historically. But the cast is
Speaker 3: good and the golf, the golf is good. So I
Speaker 3: would just recommend that. So back to your golf back well, no, okay,
Speaker 3: let me finish that. Then we'll go to the best
Speaker 3: own Wilson movies because we have to. Yeah, that's it's
Speaker 3: like a staple of you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's also June.
Speaker 1: So if you want to rank Utah's wide receivers from
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve era, just calm down. So in the
Speaker 1: pocket with my tool and my ballmark. That's why I
Speaker 1: keep my teas Okay, pocket below that I have every
Speaker 1: potential tool that I would need to fix a club.
Speaker 1: So you have like a little screwdriver thing I've got
Speaker 1: a couple of rings in case fix club. You have
Speaker 1: to fix a club when you have a powerful athletic swing, Chris.
Speaker 3: Or when you break a club on the.
Speaker 1: Course unnecessary drop in And by the way, for the record,
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 2: It's no broken club.
Speaker 3: Okay, what's changed.
Speaker 1: The economic impact of breaking several clubs throughout the course
Speaker 1: of the season in this economy. I cannot say that
Speaker 1: I've had zero club throws, but I've had zero club breaks.
Speaker 3: What feels better letting go of a club in anger
Speaker 3: or swishing a three pointer?
Speaker 1: Oh, what a great question, because look, here's the bottom line.
Speaker 1: If you can keep yourself to under three club breaks
Speaker 1: a year, it sounds horrible. There's nothing more satisfying than
Speaker 1: breaking a club after the knee or I've been over
Speaker 1: the knee. There's nothing more satisfying than breaking like a wedge.
Speaker 1: So if you hit like a if you rope your
Speaker 1: drive and you're like ninety five yards after you chunk it,
Speaker 1: chunk it or scull it within it whatever, yep, Because
Speaker 1: a new wedge is like one hundred and ten bucks,
Speaker 1: and that's not expensive enough to dissuade me from the sand.
Speaker 3: They're pitching gap gap.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're ninety five yards out. Oh, I know you do.
Speaker 1: And we'll get to your thoughts on the current tournament
Speaker 1: that's going on right now in the world of professional golf.
Speaker 1: But the problem is, one hundred and ten dollars is
Speaker 1: worth the price of how good it feels to break
Speaker 1: a wedge after you scull a little wedge, you know,
Speaker 1: after roping a drive. So if you can keep it
Speaker 1: to one or two club breaks a year, then you're
Speaker 1: actually doing okay. But the problem is a couple of
Speaker 1: seasons we were your boy over here, we're talking four
Speaker 1: or five club breaks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine that a driver would be the
Speaker 3: easiest club to break.
Speaker 2: It is because it is.
Speaker 3: It's more less titanium steel or maybe I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's urban fiber.
Speaker 1: Look at you. It is easier to break. But the
Speaker 1: problem is that's a little more punitive. A new driver,
Speaker 1: you know, three hundred and fifty four hundred bucks, but
Speaker 1: a new wedge is like one hundred and ten dollars.
Speaker 2: So if you break a wedge, it feels so good.
Speaker 1: Now you're judged instantly by the group and people are
Speaker 1: probably like, I don't want to play with this dude.
Speaker 2: Like he's throwing clubs.
Speaker 3: You can you play golf with people who judge you?
Speaker 1: Well, I also play golf with other golfers who get
Speaker 1: angrier than I do, and I judge them, So therefore
Speaker 1: I know I'm being judged.
Speaker 3: Golf course seems to be a very therapeutic place.
Speaker 2: It is, Yeah, naturally it is.
Speaker 1: Let's see, we don't need to go over my club
Speaker 1: selection of my golf back. But that's the gist of it.
Speaker 1: I could survive in the wilderness. Oh et crin Okay,
Speaker 1: in the left pocket where the sunscreen.
Speaker 3: You talking excrin migraine or just playing exten plain et cetera.
Speaker 1: Now you're an expert. Is there a big difference? Yes,
Speaker 1: this is their difference in the caffeine boost Yes. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Should I get migraine?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, unless you get a certain type of headache.
Speaker 3: But yes, it's always good to have et ceterrin migraine handy.
Speaker 2: Okay, they have it.
Speaker 3: They have a smaller bottle. It's like twenty pills. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's like six bucks. Okay.
Speaker 2: Back to the Owen Wilson.
Speaker 1: First of all, Dick just saying, okay, I'll check it out.
Speaker 1: An admission about why I'm somewhat anti Owen Wilson, and
Speaker 1: it's really not his fault. So Vince Vaughn had this
Speaker 1: like eight year run where nobody could match his ability
Speaker 1: to just basically ad lib and be really quick and
Speaker 1: really funny.
Speaker 3: Hot Route, Hot Route. You know, I don't.
Speaker 2: I was all state. I can put it wherever I
Speaker 2: want out here. Oh I hate you.
Speaker 1: So it's really not Owen Wilson's fault that in the
Speaker 1: movie Wedding Crashers, he tried really hard to do the
Speaker 1: Vince Vaughan ad lib thing and it never landed to
Speaker 1: me because he was going next, you know, tet or
Speaker 1: Toe with the Master.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: So after that I became very anti Owen Wilson. But
Speaker 1: best Owen Wilson movie of all time is what.
Speaker 3: His best best movie or his best performance.
Speaker 2: Either We've got Midnight in Paris. I think it was
Speaker 2: a good movie.
Speaker 3: I think his best movie is Midnight in Paris.
Speaker 1: Got Grand Budapest, The West stuff? Is Darjeline's really good?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would probably go best performance somewhere between Darjeeling
Speaker 3: and Royal.
Speaker 2: He was like, Royal is the answer? Yeah, I think
Speaker 2: so that's the answer.
Speaker 3: It was written in a sort of obsolete vernacular royalty answer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well see, I knew we'd land on it. Wildcat
Speaker 1: rush He wasn't Rushmore, but very brief but bit part Rushmore,
Speaker 1: as it's well documented, is the best West movie period
Speaker 1: Starsky and Hutch.
Speaker 2: Was pretty good.
Speaker 1: Oh that is good one. Let's see Hall Pass was underrated. Funny, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's not the answer, no, but it was underrated. Funny yes,
Speaker 1: because today Becaus is funny too. All right, anyway, what
Speaker 1: are we doing? Let's uh no, easy transition, but this
Speaker 1: is what we do when you roll in the studio.
Speaker 2: Gold Cup.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tonight US men's national team taking on Saudi Arabi.
Speaker 1: I believe are we back after our dominant performance against
Speaker 1: the Trinida Trinidadians, Trinidad and Tobago, Tobago whatever?
Speaker 3: Are we back now? Are we so back? As the
Speaker 3: kids would say, We're not so back? I think it'll
Speaker 3: depend on the result tonight, the performance tonight. Locally, We'll
Speaker 3: see if your boy Poch deploys Diego Luna again. Who
Speaker 3: Luisan moon Man, who is basically you know, had a
Speaker 3: goal stolen from him on that shot, had an assist,
Speaker 3: seems to play very free and well in the system
Speaker 3: that Mauricio Pocatino likes to play. So I think Diego
Speaker 3: Luna plays better for the national team than he does
Speaker 3: for RSL because I feel like he's he has less
Speaker 3: on his shoulders, He's able to be more creative, that
Speaker 3: makes sense, and he's you know, playing with a higher
Speaker 3: caliber player across the board for the most part, are
Speaker 3: we back? I mean, five five goals on a bad
Speaker 3: Trinidad and Tobago team is a good start. Saudi Arabia
Speaker 3: is historically not a good team in Asia, so should
Speaker 3: it should be another win. I don't know if it
Speaker 3: will be an easy win, but it should be a win.
Speaker 3: I am. I'm enjoying. I don't know if you've been watching.
Speaker 3: I've been enjoying the Club World Cup.
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you about MESSI scored.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, and they beat They beat Porto, which is
Speaker 3: no small feet Yeah?
Speaker 2: Nothing, Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean our former friends, former friends of the program,
Speaker 3: Danny Mussovski and Albert Rusnak are in the starting eleven
Speaker 3: for Seattle against against Athletico Madrid. It starts at four o'clock.
Speaker 2: So and then, oh, that's why you're looking at the clock.
Speaker 3: That's well, and then their next their last group game
Speaker 3: is PSG Seattle's So.
Speaker 1: Is it really Yeah? Mbape is in the hospital. He's
Speaker 1: not with the SG anymore anyway.
Speaker 3: No, he's with Madrid, but he's in the hospital here.
Speaker 3: He's in the hospital a cute gastro enteritis, which is
Speaker 3: I think basically like scientific terms for like neurovirus. So
Speaker 3: he might might have got the worst, the worst thing imaginable.
Speaker 3: No wish that on anybody.
Speaker 1: No, No, because I mean the NBA went through this
Speaker 1: weird phase where like they would sit players out with
Speaker 1: gastric distress. Yes, every time Jamal Tinsley went back to Brooklyn,
Speaker 1: he missed like three games with with like gastric distress.
Speaker 2: Like, no, he went home and got loose with his hommies. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So when I saw that, I was like, is that
Speaker 1: bad gas? But it certainly it's much more stressed. That
Speaker 1: must be so painful.
Speaker 3: I bet bad gas is probably like ninth on the
Speaker 3: list of all the bad things that he's currently dealing with.
Speaker 1: Are you good at understanding where the line is between
Speaker 1: bad gas and a heart attack? There have been days
Speaker 1: where I'm like, I'm having a heart attack. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: you're just plugged up.
Speaker 3: So this is great radio, So like we can talk,
Speaker 3: we can talk about this. One of my closest friends,
Speaker 3: he has a hard line of delineation between what is
Speaker 3: like a stomach ache and what is like gas. To him,
Speaker 3: a stomach.
Speaker 2: This is great. No, I love it.
Speaker 3: Stomach ache is feeling a little nauseous, okay. To him,
Speaker 3: he doesn't have time for the downtown stuff. It's more
Speaker 3: like is it is it?
Speaker 1: Is it?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: And I tend to agree with it. Yeah, so I
Speaker 3: can tell you anything and everything you want to know
Speaker 3: about stomach issues.
Speaker 2: Is it something you expecse? Yeah? Really? Oh yeah, like
Speaker 2: ever since you were a kid.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Are there certain food you have to avoid or else
Speaker 2: your I can't.
Speaker 3: I can't eat spice anymore. Spice spice. Yeah, it's not
Speaker 3: even like I can't even neat alpino.
Speaker 1: You're the one that introduced me to Afghan kitchen. You
Speaker 1: can't eat spice. So if you for me, if you
Speaker 1: grab some afghan, what's the order now.
Speaker 3: It's been a while. Everything spicy bari chicken chicken is spice.
Speaker 3: It's not, no, bro, it's not. I mean, maybe you
Speaker 3: can ask to ask to increase the spice level. I
Speaker 3: definitely don't.
Speaker 2: Well, you can choose your level of spice.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh, it's it's it's always a zero.
Speaker 2: A zero.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Is this a recent development the last ten years? Porter?
Speaker 2: How's your stomach with spy? Can you?
Speaker 3: He's a farm boy. I uh, I have a literal
Speaker 3: garbage disposal, Like I could eat rotting meat and I
Speaker 3: think my stomach would just be that cool.
Speaker 2: He's also like, what are you thirty yet?
Speaker 3: Barely?
Speaker 2: He's also a very young man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I mean, I'm jealous of it.
Speaker 2: I am too.
Speaker 1: Anyway, Diego plays better for the US men's national team
Speaker 1: than he does for RSL, plays more free.
Speaker 2: Was Johnny Russell the missing piece all along?
Speaker 1: Johnny Golds our guy, Johnny Goles has taken a moniker
Speaker 1: from Johnny Mendes.
Speaker 3: Well, he's taken. He's taken the goals moniker from basically
Speaker 3: everyone else on the roster outside of Diego.
Speaker 2: Gozo has two has to listen.
Speaker 3: It does not bode I mean, it's it's a good
Speaker 3: development for RSL, but it does not bode well for
Speaker 3: the state of the talent, of the of the attacking
Speaker 3: talent on the roster, and I know a lot of
Speaker 3: them were gone, but they literally brought an old dude
Speaker 3: off the street and he scored a goal in like
Speaker 3: his third game, first start. Yeah, some stuff you can't teach.
Speaker 3: Johnny Russell has like almost seventy goals in MLS. So
Speaker 3: the dude knows how to find the back of the net.
Speaker 3: Might be old, it might be a little bigger.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 3: It will help having that voice in the locker room.
Speaker 3: But man, it does not speak well to the depth
Speaker 3: of the attacking talent on that team right now. But
Speaker 3: but Gozo, Gozo's been I think outside of Luna, Gozo's
Speaker 3: been the second best thing on this team this year.
Speaker 2: I would agree with that.
Speaker 1: And I think they've got something with him. Yeah, just
Speaker 1: graduated high school like two months ago, which is why.
Speaker 3: And a local kid, which is which is cool. Historically
Speaker 3: we've been known to develop, you know, defenders and midfielders.
Speaker 3: I guess we do have some kids, the the.
Speaker 2: The the sixteens or whatever.
Speaker 3: No, they're brothers who are playing in Europe, the Booth
Speaker 3: brothers that were from Eden. There, they're over there. They're
Speaker 3: attacking players. But yeah, it's it's cool that Xavier is
Speaker 3: actually like a Utah born for sure.
Speaker 1: For sure, Nick Romondo is inducted into the Ring of Honor,
Speaker 1: which now has Jason Chrice, Javier Morales and Nicky was
Speaker 1: the third. Surprised that we don't have our guy.
Speaker 3: I think I think he's I think I read somewhere
Speaker 3: that they're planning on doing that next year.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, surprised that it was Nick first and Kyle?
Speaker 1: Am I making something out of nothing?
Speaker 3: Did Nick retire before Kyle?
Speaker 1: Yes, he did? Good point, that might be it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I guess Javier retired before Nick.
Speaker 3: Okay, because if we're talking, I mean, you know, as
Speaker 3: a as a sports guy, generally you're you're up for
Speaker 3: such nominations either very local or national or whatever based
Speaker 3: on the time you retire.
Speaker 2: This is true.
Speaker 1: You read Gordo's piece on on Jay right on Jason
Speaker 1: Christ you sent it to me.
Speaker 3: I didn't, well, I knew invisible men, Yes, I knew.
Speaker 1: I knew it was in the works because of our
Speaker 1: guy setting us the heads up. It's a really interesting
Speaker 1: path to consider how when Jay was here as the
Speaker 1: coach manager excuse me, winning MLS cop you know nine
Speaker 1: the gaffer, thank you, and then should have won it
Speaker 1: in thirteen. Thirteen was probably the best team right of
Speaker 1: RSL history?
Speaker 2: Is that fair?
Speaker 3: Should Yeah, and probably should have won Champions League?
Speaker 2: Should have won Champions League. It was thirteen, it was
Speaker 2: second time was thirteen?
Speaker 3: Oka lost?
Speaker 1: Y would you say that's the best club in RSL history?
Speaker 3: Talent wise?
Speaker 2: Better?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: Nine, even though they won the Cup?
Speaker 3: Well, I think ten, eleven, twelve were probably the best teams,
Speaker 3: but roster talent wise probably thirteen. But I mean you
Speaker 3: could make an argument that some of these teams in
Speaker 3: recent years have been more talented top to bottom for sure,
Speaker 3: roster wise, But they did get the results that those.
Speaker 1: Guys did last year, that fifteen game stretch. That's the
Speaker 1: best soccer I've ever seen played. Yeah for RSLA, you
Speaker 1: might want to keep a couple of those guys around,
Speaker 1: But you know, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: What are your as Nicky goes into the ring of honor?
Speaker 1: What's your recollection of kind of when he established himself
Speaker 1: as who he ultimately became, Because it wasn't right out of.
Speaker 3: Gates, No, Yeah, I mean probably the year before they
Speaker 3: won the Cup, because they had a pretty deep playoff
Speaker 3: run in OH eight?
Speaker 2: Was that the Eastern Conference finale.
Speaker 3: Where they hit the post like six times, and it
Speaker 3: was I think that was the first year Rio Tinto
Speaker 3: was open. It was, and it was a big deal
Speaker 3: that they got so far in their first year in
Speaker 3: their new stadium.
Speaker 2: My name's on a beam, yep.
Speaker 3: I think that was. That was back when the league
Speaker 3: was so dumb that teams from different conferences could enter
Speaker 3: the other team's playoff race. Because I think the Red
Speaker 3: Bulls beat RSL. They did that in that final.
Speaker 1: And if I remember correctly in two thousand and nine, yes,
Speaker 1: RSL beat Chicago and penalties and then Columbus.
Speaker 2: I think, how did that work?
Speaker 3: Because it's dumb.
Speaker 1: It is a dumb you know what, the dumbest. It's
Speaker 1: still a dumb league. Yeah, maybe it's not as dumb
Speaker 1: as it once was. It's still a very very dumb league.
Speaker 3: You're gonna watch Seattle Athletico Madrid.
Speaker 1: Well, now that I know that, Moose, Hey you find
Speaker 1: Seattle at Athletic?
Speaker 2: What channel is it on?
Speaker 3: Uh so I've learned this This d D a Z
Speaker 3: n acronym. Okay, how you pronounce it?
Speaker 2: Doz zone? The zone? Yeah, that sucks.
Speaker 3: Dunny was on the was on the Miami Cally, which
Speaker 3: was cool. But I think this one is on the
Speaker 3: Zone and it's streaming for free online.
Speaker 1: If it's not, we are antiquated in the studio. We
Speaker 1: cannot stream on the television, so I guess I'll have
Speaker 1: to watch the replay. But I didn't know Moose was
Speaker 1: in the eleven. Your guy, well, it's John Paul's guy.
Speaker 1: I mean really like.
Speaker 3: The Moose is loose against one of the best teams
Speaker 3: in the world.
Speaker 1: We lost JP as a club when we didn't take
Speaker 1: care of Moose.
Speaker 3: You think so, oh, I know, so not not losing
Speaker 3: Chico and going No, it was Moose.
Speaker 1: Moose was the beginning of the decline where John Paul
Speaker 1: is legitimately no longer an RSL fan.
Speaker 2: It's very sad.
Speaker 3: What about you?
Speaker 2: Was it?
Speaker 3: Crooks?
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: I stand on my feet, dude, I shouted out, real,
Speaker 1: I am here for the lads.
Speaker 2: They have not lost me.
Speaker 1: I'm in for life, man, that's what happens. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: they're so boring, so boring. It's so uninspiring. It's like
Speaker 1: I I watch I watch every Jazz game even this year.
Speaker 1: Uh so I'll watch every RSEL game. But it is
Speaker 1: a task. I find myself scrolling doom scrolling during RSL matches,
Speaker 1: and then if something exciting happens, I'll hear the announcement.
Speaker 1: I'll just pull up Apples like you know, Apple.
Speaker 2: Does the whole moments that you missed. But do you
Speaker 2: still watch every yrsel?
Speaker 3: Now? I try to. Yeah, we're the Jazz gonna take.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I really I really hope Dj edgecumb falls.
Speaker 2: I think he's really good. Uh.
Speaker 1: Happy anniversary in nineteen eighty four NBA draft class, which
Speaker 1: included one Michael Jordan, achiem Olajron and one John Stockton.
Speaker 1: All right, Chris, I'll let you go. You gotta go
Speaker 1: watch the game. That was an entertaining, weird hour. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much for your time, and we'll see how today
Speaker 1: was Friday. But it's Thursday. It's Friday for me. That's
Speaker 1: why you're here, is it? I'm off tomorrow? Yeah, goodnes
Speaker 1: see it, buddy,
