00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Magic Fans, this is Jonathan Isaac and you're listening

2
00:00:02.799 --> 00:00:05.559
<v Speaker 1>to in this Zone, the show of the Lando Sports.

3
00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:15.119
<v Speaker 2>Fan Small business owners, let's talk. I don't care how

4
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 2>big or small your business may be. If you think

5
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>that we can help on in the Zone, let.

6
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Us do that.

7
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Advertising is expensive, and I can get you in the

8
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.960
<v Speaker 2>door on this show at an incredibly reasonable rate.

9
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Email me, we'll get you started.

10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I had a football season crabits at ninety six to

11
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 2>ninety game dot com.

12
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:35.920
<v Speaker 3>I will respond to you directly.

13
00:00:36.880 --> 00:00:41.079
<v Speaker 2>I feel it is our duties as the sports voices

14
00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>of Central Florida to have these conversations every few months

15
00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 2>about how to handle yourself and your fandom. And I

16
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.640
<v Speaker 2>can say that just scrolling through my timelines on social media,

17
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>I am seeing way too much about secondary fandom having

18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>a second favorite team. If you have a second favorite team,

19
00:01:05.079 --> 00:01:06.879
<v Speaker 2>and maybe you've got a really good reason for it.

20
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 2>For instance, if a baseball team came to Orlando, that

21
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:13.959
<v Speaker 2>would become my favorite baseball team, but I would still

22
00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>be an Orioles fan. I've been a fan my whole life.

23
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.599
<v Speaker 2>I grew up in Baltimore. You just keep that stuff

24
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>to yourself. It is unbecoming of a man to have

25
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:29.359
<v Speaker 2>two favorite teams. It is more socially acceptable to have

26
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.120
<v Speaker 2>two wives than to have two teams. I would be

27
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.439
<v Speaker 2>more understanding of. You know, you're bouncing back and forth

28
00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:41.640
<v Speaker 2>between both spouses. You got kind of a Mormon thing

29
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>going on. Then you're out here wearing a Braves hat

30
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>one day and a Marlin's hat the next, and not

31
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>just because you think it's stylish, but because those are

32
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:52.599
<v Speaker 2>your teams.

33
00:01:52.599 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>It doesn't work like that.

34
00:01:54.480 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>You have to be monogamous with your with your sports

35
00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 2>teams and your brackets. But we'll save that conversation for March.

36
00:02:02.159 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 2>But I wanted to expand this conversation beyond the obvious

37
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:10.159
<v Speaker 2>unwritten rule of multi team fandom, because all of us

38
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 2>sports fans have teams that we just have an affinity for,

39
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.400
<v Speaker 2>and it might not be your favorite team. It's not

40
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 2>necessarily an organization or even a logo that you cheer for,

41
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 2>but a squad that you love watching, that you found

42
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.120
<v Speaker 2>yourself pulling for in a moment in time.

43
00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>And that is.

44
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>The text question and the talkback question that I'm going

45
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:36.360
<v Speaker 2>to throw your way right now. So this can't be

46
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.840
<v Speaker 2>your favorite team. That would not qualify in any sport,

47
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>it has to be a team that you have found

48
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:46.759
<v Speaker 2>yourself pulling for during a period of time. For me,

49
00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.840
<v Speaker 2>the first team that comes to mind when I discussed

50
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>this is the New Orleans Saints with Drew Brees as

51
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 2>their quarterback. I loved watching those teams play. I love

52
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:03.759
<v Speaker 2>how methodical and blosive those offenses where they were fantasy gold,

53
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.719
<v Speaker 2>and Drew Brees was just a really likable player. So

54
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:09.479
<v Speaker 2>that's the first one that comes to mind for me.

55
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:11.599
<v Speaker 2>Just to give you an idea of what it is

56
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:14.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about. I'm a Dolphins fan. I was not

57
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.759
<v Speaker 2>a Saints fan, but I was a fan of that team.

58
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>They were on National TV a lot because they were

59
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>exciting and they played a brand of football that I

60
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>really enjoyed. I was enjoyed watching Saints games, and I

61
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 2>found myself pulling for them more often than not.

62
00:03:33.080 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 4>I'm trying to think of one without local ties, because

63
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.719
<v Speaker 4>growing up in Florida, it was I strongly disliked most

64
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.000
<v Speaker 4>Florida teams as a Boston sports fan, but kind of

65
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 4>the some of the teams that I didn't feel that

66
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 4>towards that it was always I really did hope that

67
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.360
<v Speaker 4>they won, but if they didn't, then okay, it wasn't

68
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 4>really going to affect my life. And it was the

69
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 4>two in the NFL being the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and

70
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:04.280
<v Speaker 4>the Jacksonville Jaguar and the Orlando Magic in the NBA. Now,

71
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 4>there was a period in my life where the Magic

72
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 4>and the Celtics when the Magic were competitive, and it

73
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.319
<v Speaker 4>was like, okay, you know where things stand when those

74
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.520
<v Speaker 4>two face off. But I was, you know, I went

75
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 4>to maybe two Magic games in my life where the

76
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:20.759
<v Speaker 4>Celtics weren't in town and it was just a weekend

77
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:22.959
<v Speaker 4>in Orlando and you go to a Magic game. So

78
00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 4>those teams kind of fall into the bucket. I'm really

79
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:31.600
<v Speaker 4>torn on North Carolina basketball in the twenty tens because

80
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 4>that was my introduction to college basketball to the extreme

81
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 4>of what I am now. It was those teams in

82
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 4>the mid twenty tens, Bryce Johnson, Marcus Page before they

83
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:50.720
<v Speaker 4>won the national championship in twenty sixteen or seventeen, those

84
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:56.040
<v Speaker 4>were the teams that drug me into college basketball. And

85
00:04:56.120 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 4>I would say that I was a North Carolina fan

86
00:04:58.240 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 4>from that point on. When Chris Jenkins at the shot

87
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:03.759
<v Speaker 4>for Villanova, I fell to the floor because my team

88
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 4>in that scenario had lost.

89
00:05:05.639 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 1>That has mellowed out a ton.

90
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.720
<v Speaker 4>Now I will root for Carolina over Duke in every scenario,

91
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.439
<v Speaker 4>but outside of that, North Carolina basketball doesn't necessarily affect

92
00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 4>my life. So that's certainly one that could be up

93
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.519
<v Speaker 4>for consideration. But I did become a fan of college basketball,

94
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 4>and I did not have any other college basketball team

95
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:28.120
<v Speaker 4>at that time, I had no connection to anything so.

96
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Well for me, and I don't think that counts because

97
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking about I think every sports fan has some

98
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:40.040
<v Speaker 2>version of that story. I was a kid in the

99
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:43.000
<v Speaker 2>mid nineties that fell in love with the two most

100
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 2>obvious teams in the NFL and in the NBA.

101
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 3>I was a.

102
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Bulls Jordan Pippen fan, and I was a Dallas and

103
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I was a Dallas Cowboys fan.

104
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 3>And I was a fan.

105
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 2>I mean I had the jerseys, I had the action figures,

106
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.160
<v Speaker 2>had the you know, the hats and all of that.

107
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 2>I was a full fledged fan. But I was ten,

108
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:07.639
<v Speaker 2>so I was a front runner. It was the kid

109
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.759
<v Speaker 2>that you see at the Kia Center when Steph is

110
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>in town rocking the Warriors jersey, even though he lives

111
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>in Winter Park.

112
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 3>You know I was that.

113
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I was that kid until I realized that that you

114
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>just can't operate that way. And both of those teams

115
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:26.000
<v Speaker 2>got a whole lot less interesting very fast after their

116
00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:30.240
<v Speaker 2>star players left. One of the ones for me that

117
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 2>really qualifies with what we're talking about here is the

118
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.879
<v Speaker 2>Warriors before they won a title. I loved watching the

119
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.439
<v Speaker 2>Golden State Warriors. It was like it was like being

120
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:45.399
<v Speaker 2>a fan of the the grunge band before they get

121
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 2>big and have major hits.

122
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Twenty twelve twenty.

123
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>Thirteen, they animated into the playoffs back to back seasons.

124
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.959
<v Speaker 2>They were the most fun team to watch in the NBA.

125
00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>And that was before you took them seriously. Oh went

126
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 2>back and look at some stats just to remind myself

127
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 2>who else was on those teams. That was early Steph

128
00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 2>Curry before you thought of him. He was just an

129
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.600
<v Speaker 2>exciting offensive player. You didn't think of him as one

130
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 2>of the best players in the NBA. They didn't win

131
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.399
<v Speaker 2>until twenty fourteen. David Lee was their second leading scorer

132
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:21.800
<v Speaker 2>on those teams. But those early Warriors teams, they were

133
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:22.839
<v Speaker 2>so much fun.

134
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:26.040
<v Speaker 3>I was. I was very attracted to that brand of basketball.

135
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's probably the best example that I should have

136
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:31.079
<v Speaker 4>gone to immediately. One of my first NBA jerseys, the

137
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:33.319
<v Speaker 4>first NBA jersey that was not a Celtics jersey.

138
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:34.879
<v Speaker 1>It was a Steph Curry jersey.

139
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.800
<v Speaker 4>Festus is ze Lee another name to throw out on

140
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 4>the mix, Monte Ellis in the mix in early Steph

141
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.879
<v Speaker 4>Curry's career. But yeah, that was the prime example of

142
00:07:44.920 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 4>the team that I was not a fan, but I

143
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 4>enjoyed watching them until they started to win and then

144
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 4>it was like, okay, there is zero fandom tied to

145
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 4>this in the slightest but definitely the early stages of

146
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 4>Steph Curry in Golden State, it was the most entertaining

147
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.680
<v Speaker 4>thing to watch that wasn't one of my teams. And

148
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 4>at that time, you think about the twenty eleven Twelve

149
00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Days and the big trade that sent all the Boston

150
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 4>Stars to Brooklyn in twenty thirteen and Allen heading down

151
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:18.759
<v Speaker 4>to Miami, like there was kind of a lull in

152
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 4>Boston basketball where I was still a Celtics fan, but

153
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:23.720
<v Speaker 4>I loved watching some Golden.

154
00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>State Warriors before they got too big. So that is

155
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:26.279
<v Speaker 1>a great example.

156
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.279
<v Speaker 2>The Chicago Cubs in twenty sixteen, I was all in

157
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:31.120
<v Speaker 2>on that.

158
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 3>I wanted to see that team win the World Series,

159
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 3>and they did.

160
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:39.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo, those guys, that's definitely on a list.

161
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:44.799
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to not become an honorary Cubs fan when

162
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:48.320
<v Speaker 2>it's convenient. If you've been to Wrigular Field, that place

163
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 2>will suck you in.

164
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>It's so cool.

165
00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:54.600
<v Speaker 2>And I've been fortunate enough to have been there twice,

166
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>and I believe that was prior to twenty sixteen. So

167
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of like in love with the the

168
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:05.039
<v Speaker 2>aura of the Cubs and excited to go back by

169
00:09:05.039 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the way end of July, going back to regular field.

170
00:09:07.759 --> 00:09:09.840
<v Speaker 2>And then the last one that I wrote down that

171
00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:12.639
<v Speaker 2>popped into my mind was the Suns in the Bubble.

172
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 2>Remember how much fun that bummer was unconscious for a month?

173
00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 2>The best bubble team they were eight and h and

174
00:09:21.200 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 2>Devin Booker was named Bubble MVP. It was a weird time,

175
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 2>but it was I enjoyed the Bubble.

176
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 3>I needed that in my life at the time.

177
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.240
<v Speaker 4>You could argue in some twisted way that it was

178
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 4>the most enjoyable basketball ever in our lifetime. Outside Okay,

179
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.000
<v Speaker 4>and I'll say I miss Jordan, So maybe Jordan just

180
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 4>out of his peak. Could probably, But you think about

181
00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 4>how starving we all were. I was watching NBA players

182
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.440
<v Speaker 4>play two k at that time, just to get some

183
00:09:48.639 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 4>sports action. And speaking of MJA, the last dance got

184
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 4>us through that. But the actual basketball that was played

185
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.120
<v Speaker 4>in the bubble like it could be the most desirable

186
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:03.840
<v Speaker 4>basketball since two thousand. It could be. I'm not saying

187
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:06.360
<v Speaker 4>it is. I'm just saying with how hungry we all

188
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:07.159
<v Speaker 4>were for sports.

189
00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 2>Somebody said that the Lions after watching them on Hard Knocks,

190
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>this friend of the show, Adrian, Yeah, completely agree. I'm

191
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:18.840
<v Speaker 2>still cheering for the Lions. Yeah, that is a team

192
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.279
<v Speaker 2>that you feel good about, what real untill they win

193
00:10:21.320 --> 00:10:23.039
<v Speaker 2>and then we're going to be off of them immediately,

194
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:24.879
<v Speaker 2>right real quick before we go.

195
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:29.279
<v Speaker 4>Just to get back to the overall what we see

196
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.240
<v Speaker 4>more often than not with the two teams and the

197
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.279
<v Speaker 4>justification of why you can be a fan of two

198
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.799
<v Speaker 4>different teams. What do you think the rules are of

199
00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 4>where are you allowed to be a fan of two teams?

200
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:44.519
<v Speaker 4>And what are some cases where I don't care you

201
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 4>like you? There's no reason that you can be you.

202
00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Can't you you can in your in the privacy of

203
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.879
<v Speaker 2>your own home. You can do whatever you want, but

204
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 2>don't public You can't publicize it. You cannot claim two teams.

205
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't work like that an areo. You gotta pick

206
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>one the second if you have a favorite team and

207
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.799
<v Speaker 2>then another team becomes your favorite team, because it never

208
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.240
<v Speaker 2>happens at once. You don't choose two teams at the

209
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>same time. So there's a team that comes first that's

210
00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:17.720
<v Speaker 2>your favorite team, and then for some reason, maybe you moved,

211
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:21.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe you became infatuated with a player, whatever it is,

212
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:26.320
<v Speaker 2>you now have another one. You've now dropped the last one.

213
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.679
<v Speaker 2>If you add a new favorite team, your old favorite

214
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>team is no longer your favorite team. So don't go

215
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 2>walking around. I'm a Rams fan, I'm a Bucks fan,

216
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.120
<v Speaker 2>which is by the way, one of the texters says

217
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 2>you're one or the other, and at home you can

218
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 2>golf clap for both teams, but when you communicate with

219
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 2>other sports fans, you gotta pick one. You can't have

220
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 2>two teams. It's the unwritten rule. I don't see any

221
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:54.080
<v Speaker 2>scenario where that doesn't play.

222
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 4>I think that there can be some examples, but for

223
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 4>the most part that I agree with you, AND's in

224
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 4>college athletics, where I think you can get away with

225
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 4>it the most because in the guess what, in professional sports,

226
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:09.679
<v Speaker 4>everyone plays everyone, so it's not well, I like they're

227
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.240
<v Speaker 4>my Eastern Conference team, then then I I'm a fan

228
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 4>of this team in the West, No, no, no, no,

229
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 4>you get a team, okay. In the NBA, everyone plays everyone.

230
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:18.759
<v Speaker 4>Where I think you can get away with it in

231
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:22.240
<v Speaker 4>college athletics is first of all, I don't care who

232
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:26.879
<v Speaker 4>you cheered for growing up. Your undergrad is your team,

233
00:12:27.080 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 4>all right, And I think that that is number one.

234
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 4>If you grew up cheering for Florida FSU and you

235
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 4>went to UCF, UCF is your team. Vice versa. If

236
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 4>you grew up cheering for UCF, God love you. If

237
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.279
<v Speaker 4>you went to Florida, Florida is your team. And that's

238
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:42.279
<v Speaker 4>how i'd That's how I would hope it would be.

239
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 4>The cases where you can get away with it is

240
00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.639
<v Speaker 4>if you go to undergrad at one place and grad

241
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:52.799
<v Speaker 4>school at another, if they are in different time zones,

242
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:56.200
<v Speaker 4>in different leagues, then you can be then you can

243
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.799
<v Speaker 4>claim both. I know a girl FSU for undergrad you

244
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:03.559
<v Speaker 4>DUB for grad school University of Washington.

245
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:05.559
<v Speaker 1>There was a scenario where those teams.

246
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:07.600
<v Speaker 4>Those two teams would have played in the college ball

247
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 4>playoff a couple of years ago.

248
00:13:09.080 --> 00:13:10.279
<v Speaker 1>That's where things get messy.

249
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.639
<v Speaker 4>But if that's what it takes, is getting down to

250
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.679
<v Speaker 4>the final four for your teams to square off with

251
00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:19.440
<v Speaker 4>one another, then I still give you a pass. You know, okay,

252
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 4>like you have you can have two teams in that moment,

253
00:13:23.679 --> 00:13:24.399
<v Speaker 4>like and you.

254
00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Still have a favorite.

255
00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.559
<v Speaker 2>There's there's always gonna be one that means more to

256
00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:33.240
<v Speaker 2>you than the and that's your team. It's like your kids,

257
00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:36.360
<v Speaker 2>but your kids. But see, that's where sports teams aren't

258
00:13:36.360 --> 00:13:39.759
<v Speaker 2>gonna be offended. You can't look at your kids and go, honestly,

259
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the first one is just better.

260
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:44.480
<v Speaker 3>So that's the way you can't do that. You can

261
00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 3>do that with sports teams, and that is where you should.

262
00:13:48.120 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 3>I I agree.

263
00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.320
<v Speaker 2>What you just brought up is as close an example

264
00:13:52.559 --> 00:13:55.960
<v Speaker 2>as you can get to. But cheering for a team

265
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.279
<v Speaker 2>or hoping that a team does well, or having an

266
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.799
<v Speaker 2>affinity for a team and them being your favorite team

267
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.240
<v Speaker 2>are two different things. There's the favorite. The word favorite

268
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 2>means the best one. It's like, uh Stefan has brought

269
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.919
<v Speaker 2>this up in the past. You can't use goat. For

270
00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:15.919
<v Speaker 2>everybody there's a goat. It's greatest of all time. They're

271
00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:20.200
<v Speaker 2>are like to pluralize goats, which people do all the time,

272
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:25.879
<v Speaker 2>makes no sense. And having multiple favorite teams makes no sense.

273
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 2>You either have a favorite team or you don't.

274
00:14:28.960 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Your undergrad school is your school. I want everyone to

275
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>keep that in mind.

276
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 3>I agree with that.

277
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm sick of these I'm in Gainesville front of the

278
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.960
<v Speaker 4>I'm still in the younger demographic right, So if you're

279
00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 4>in a student section at twenty four and you're great

280
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:44.919
<v Speaker 4>and you've already graduated, whatever, so not a big deal.

281
00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.039
<v Speaker 4>But I'm sick of people in Gainesville front center, rowdy,

282
00:14:49.039 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 4>biggest fan ever one Saturday and then the following Saturday,

283
00:14:51.799 --> 00:14:56.960
<v Speaker 4>you're back in Orlando. Whoo my lum go team. No no, no, no, no,

284
00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 4>pick one one or the other. And if you went

285
00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.399
<v Speaker 4>to one front grad one for grad school, you still.

286
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Just gotta choose. Gotta choose. The home buying process is

287
00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:05.799
<v Speaker 1>a bear.
