Speaker 1: Either way, Candy, where do we go? NHL?
Speaker 3: Start with the finals? That's already done. Yeah, let's start
Speaker 3: with the finals that's already wrapped up and done. Because
Speaker 3: you know there there was a pretty bow on this trophy,
Speaker 3: but yet they're having fun with the trophy.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 7: I heard one of them took him to his neighbor's house.
Speaker 1: Five am. You better hope out, You better hope I
Speaker 1: wasn't an Edmonton fan.
Speaker 7: I mean, if it's a if it's a Florida Panther
Speaker 7: player's neighbor, there's a pretty good possibility there's not an
Speaker 7: Edmonton oiler fan right as a Philadelphia As a Philadelphia
Speaker 7: Flyer fan, I'm absolutely disgusted and it makes the surgery
Speaker 7: but Brabrovsky trade even more sickening to me.
Speaker 5: You shouldnt even.
Speaker 3: If you're an Edmonton Oilers fan. At five am, you
Speaker 3: get knocked on the door and you get the Stanley
Speaker 3: Cup is in front of you, Like, how often do
Speaker 3: you get to touch the Stanley Cup. I mean even
Speaker 3: if you are a fan and you go to like
Speaker 3: the NHL All Star Game and they have it there,
Speaker 3: you can't touch it, like they don't want you to
Speaker 3: touch it. But here that you know, here's the trophy,
Speaker 3: touch it, hold it, kiss it like everybody else does it.
Speaker 3: I mean, how many people? How many people have kissed
Speaker 3: that trophy?
Speaker 5: Well, not a lot, a.
Speaker 8: Lot, but more than you'd be surprised because they take
Speaker 8: it all all over the place. So what I heard
Speaker 8: today is it's damaged. Okay, So whatever, knucklehead panthers a
Speaker 8: hazard right now?
Speaker 5: You damaged that.
Speaker 8: You you damage the I heard the bottom of it
Speaker 8: has bent, and so is something near the top of
Speaker 8: the rom Now it's gonna be repaired, okay, But please,
Speaker 8: if you're in a drunken stupor leave that trophy alone.
Speaker 5: Don't get it in your hand.
Speaker 7: Let's be honest. Let's be honest. The Stanley Cup is
Speaker 7: the is the goat of championship troop.
Speaker 4: There is no there is no argument there. Lord Stanley
Speaker 4: Cup is at the top.
Speaker 6: I agree. Top.
Speaker 7: The super Bowl Trophy is a close It isn't isn't
Speaker 7: a close second, but it's definitely second. It's it's the
Speaker 7: Stanley Cup is the the best championship trophy that we
Speaker 7: have of all the major force sports.
Speaker 1: Oh oh, that's a really good topic. What it What
Speaker 1: is the best one? Come on, it's not that.
Speaker 7: That's not even a question that Stanley Cup is the
Speaker 7: best trophy we have. The only thing, the only thing
Speaker 7: you could probably say is an Olympic medal. But that's
Speaker 7: that's a singular, singulary achievement, not not a team.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, well, what about the Lombardi Trophy?
Speaker 4: I said it's second, but it's not close.
Speaker 1: It's not really so Stanley. Listen, hold hold on because listen.
Speaker 1: See I'm listen. I'm not a hockey guy. Listen.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna argue with you here. I just I'm shocked. No,
Speaker 2: this is shocked, j D. I am shocked.
Speaker 1: I am not a hockey I'm not a hockey guy.
Speaker 1: I know you're more of an NFL guy.
Speaker 2: You don't hear people that often give a good, honest
Speaker 2: opinion like that. Listen, if you put the Stanley Cup first,
Speaker 2: it's you know what I mean, it's first in your opinion.
Speaker 1: That is your opinion. Your entitled to it. I I'm
Speaker 1: just shocked, like I honestly thought that you, of all people,
Speaker 1: would have put Taylor.
Speaker 3: I apologize, that was my bad.
Speaker 4: That's okay, it's all good.
Speaker 1: If you.
Speaker 9: Just have to be careful.
Speaker 8: Yeah, right, don't talk, that's all seriously, a smart We'll
Speaker 8: have to debate for a second.
Speaker 4: What would you put a number one if it's not
Speaker 4: Stanley's Cup?
Speaker 1: Taylor?
Speaker 2: Okay, So Taylor get in on this conversation because I
Speaker 2: honestly I think.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I guess I'm not saying for myself at this point
Speaker 2: because I'm I guess I'm reacting from like a complete
Speaker 2: fan perspective, because that's what I am of most of
Speaker 2: you guys here.
Speaker 1: I'm fans of y'all.
Speaker 2: So in my fan perspective seat, like, I literally was
Speaker 2: just shocked you didn't pick the Lombardi Trophy as the
Speaker 2: most coveted trophy.
Speaker 4: I think, well, junkie, don't get me wrong, right, but
Speaker 4: when you.
Speaker 7: Talk about like listen, you're talking about like I have
Speaker 7: a fake replica right here?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 7: Okay, how does this compare to a Stanley Cup trophy?
Speaker 7: That that that that is that you have to hoist
Speaker 7: over your head with two hands.
Speaker 4: You can't. You're you're just holding a little trophy.
Speaker 9: I was going to add, no matter what trophy, you
Speaker 9: have to be careful with it, whichever sport.
Speaker 7: I mean, didn't didn't the uh didn't the Chiefs dent
Speaker 7: the Lombardi Trophy several times over the last few years.
Speaker 5: I think they did.
Speaker 4: Drop it when they when they went to the White House.
Speaker 4: Come on, there's no listen. I love I love all
Speaker 4: our sports.
Speaker 7: But when you look at it, World Series is a
Speaker 7: special trophy, but it's just a bunch of flags on
Speaker 7: it on a pedestal, Like should I should I get
Speaker 7: excited about that?
Speaker 4: That's third in my opinion.
Speaker 10: No, no, no, no, I'm sorry. I'm gonna put baseball
Speaker 10: down at the bottom. I'm sorry, George. I know, I
Speaker 10: know you want to rip my head off, but no.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, wait, what was the original question? Is there
Speaker 3: a question?
Speaker 4: What's the original question? What is what?
Speaker 7: What is the best Big four sports championship trophy? I'm
Speaker 7: saying it's Stanley's Cup? Well, hold on, I have, okay,
Speaker 7: the Lombardi Trophy. Second, I have I have the the
Speaker 7: NBA title. Third, and I have have have major League
Speaker 7: Baseball in the in the basement.
Speaker 1: There, Okay, and then let me call it.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, George, I'm sorry. I know I'm waiting to
Speaker 4: get my head ripped off.
Speaker 2: Exactly that's what we said. So hold, let me call
Speaker 2: a time out, George. We'll come back to you if
Speaker 2: you got anything more to say right here. So so, okay,
Speaker 2: so we just introduced Taylor Phillips. Also, by the way,
Speaker 2: we need to go through and we'll get everybody's follow
Speaker 2: handles and all that stuff here in just a second
Speaker 2: after we finish up this conversation.
Speaker 1: So it initially started with NHL and.
Speaker 2: The Panthers winning and knocking door to door at five am,
Speaker 2: and then we started talking about the trophies and what
Speaker 2: we're I was shocked to hear Steve call it the
Speaker 2: best trophy, the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 1: And then now we were talking about what we're the
Speaker 1: four best.
Speaker 2: But then now the main question that we'll get to
Speaker 2: you is you both have all said we should be
Speaker 2: careful with the trophy. Yes, so I want to lead
Speaker 2: it to that question, should we just give them replica
Speaker 2: trophies to begin with?
Speaker 7: No value in giving the player, the player, the coach, whoever,
Speaker 7: the joy of actually having the Trophy.
Speaker 5: There are actually two Stanley Cups.
Speaker 8: There are there's one in Toronto at the Hall of
Speaker 8: Fame Museum, and there's this one that gets rotated and
Speaker 8: given to the team that wins.
Speaker 5: There's two.
Speaker 8: I've not heard anybody say that there's two of any
Speaker 8: other of those trophies.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 8: But one thing I do know is regarding the penance
Speaker 8: on that World Series flag, I don't think those dignify anything.
Speaker 8: Because when I was younger, I thought, well, that's cool
Speaker 8: the Tigers won in nineteen sixty eight. I was twelve
Speaker 8: years old. I thought that's cool. Look they probably are
Speaker 8: in the order of finish all those flags.
Speaker 5: They're not. They're just decorative.
Speaker 4: That's why I have World Series in the I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: Yeah, and the and the uh, the best one. I know,
Speaker 8: I'm starting to other and then I'll stop after this
Speaker 8: really is not these for these the Stanley Cups number
Speaker 8: one in my mind. The second one is the Borg
Speaker 8: Warner Trophy, given to the champion of the Indianapolis five hundred.
Speaker 8: That is an unbelievable trophy.
Speaker 7: I thought we were just going for major sports, I know,
Speaker 7: but but listen, we'll take the honorable mention bringing in there.
Speaker 7: We even had someone asking what about the World Cup.
Speaker 7: We were talking about four major sports here in America. Okay,
Speaker 7: I will I will take, I will take you know,
Speaker 7: you know, you know a NASCAR rep uh Indy five
Speaker 7: hundred rip that we all there's all special trophies as
Speaker 7: we're talking about the four major sports in it here
Speaker 7: in in North America, United States. However you want to
Speaker 7: you want to word that, I mean, I get it.
Speaker 7: A lot of people want to want to throw the
Speaker 7: World Cup in, you know, we want to we we
Speaker 7: want to throw one, to throw Indy five hundred in
Speaker 7: because you know, uh, you know, racing should should always
Speaker 7: get get its love, but it quite doesn't get the
Speaker 7: popularity both here and internationally.
Speaker 4: But the Cup is.
Speaker 7: Probably one of the hart hardest things in my opinion,
Speaker 7: Like you know, you know, I just seen uh, I
Speaker 7: just seen Kane in the chat. Tell me that the
Speaker 7: you know, the the Lombardi trophies the best come at me.
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I've already said I love the Lombardi Trophy.
Speaker 4: But it's it's.
Speaker 7: It's just it's just a it's just a shaft with
Speaker 7: a football on it. The Cup is is has teams
Speaker 7: have won a year after year after year, and it's
Speaker 7: and it's and it's grows and it changes every year.
Speaker 7: And not only that, like I've said, it's a it's
Speaker 7: a humongous trophy.
Speaker 4: It's a big accomplishment. Like look, you know, as Georgia
Speaker 4: Center saying, there's two cups there there, There's there's.
Speaker 7: One at the Hall of Fame and there's one that
Speaker 7: that is a ceremonial give given to each team every year.
Speaker 7: Like like when we talk about Super Bowls now, you
Speaker 7: know we're sitting here, we're about to hit sixty, right,
Speaker 7: That means there's teams that have sixty different replica trophies
Speaker 7: of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, you know, right right, you
Speaker 7: know it's it's I mean, listen, we can debate, can
Speaker 7: can debate.
Speaker 4: About all we want.
Speaker 7: I'll still stick with you know, NHL is the best, NFL,
Speaker 7: second NBA MLB. Now, if MLB comes comes back and
Speaker 7: they redo a trophy at some point in time in
Speaker 7: the next handful years, we might we might have to
Speaker 7: revisit us.
Speaker 1: But right, hey, Taylor, what do you have Dad or Candy?
Speaker 7: Sorry, go ahead, Cyberuski, You're wrong there because because the
Speaker 7: payroll doesn't doesn't quite give you championships in baseball. If
Speaker 7: that's the case, the New York Yankees would win every year.
Speaker 3: So let me add a couple of little little things.
Speaker 3: The Stanley has been awarded since eighteen ninety two. Eighteen
Speaker 3: ninety two. Unlike most trophies, the Stanley Cup has passed
Speaker 3: from captain to captain of the winning team. Each player's
Speaker 3: name is engraved on the trophy. As the bands on
Speaker 3: the trophy fill up, they are retired and a new
Speaker 3: one is added, creating a continuous legacy. None of the
Speaker 3: other ones do that.
Speaker 4: That makes it very different.
Speaker 3: Now, I was asking the question, which is what was
Speaker 3: the question? Because there's a very difference between what's the
Speaker 3: hardest trophy to earn and what's the best trophy? Because
Speaker 3: those could be taken very differently. Because I would I
Speaker 3: would definitely say the hardest to earn is the State
Speaker 3: Only Cup.
Speaker 2: The fast and that agree to could all of these
Speaker 2: words we've used, I think every one of us and Taylor,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna come right to you after this, we've literally
Speaker 2: all used the words differently. Like Steve, he went into
Speaker 2: very vivid detail describing the actual trophy, and so I
Speaker 2: was taking more of maybe what would be the most
Speaker 2: prestigious trophy to win. And so we all, yeah, we
Speaker 2: all have our own opinion about it. And I love
Speaker 2: hearing them all, Larry, Josh Madcraft, all of these dudes,
Speaker 2: all of these guys keeping it up in the chat.
Speaker 4: So, Taylor, which is the easiest? Is there an easy
Speaker 4: one to win?
Speaker 1: Mm hm?
Speaker 9: The NFL's the NFL's Super Bowl is the hardest, actually because.
Speaker 4: It's one game.
Speaker 9: Yeah it is. It is one game, but but it
Speaker 9: is the like the granddaddy of them all, the super Bowl.
Speaker 9: It's it's almost people would view this more like a
Speaker 9: holiday and stuff like that, because it is the biggest
Speaker 9: sport in everyone's eyes, the football in general, whether it's
Speaker 9: the NFL or college football. So the super Bowl is
Speaker 9: the most coveted trophy. The Stanley Cover is the second most.
Speaker 9: The NBA Trophy Championship trophy is third, in the World
Speaker 9: Series is fourth.
Speaker 4: Scott was here, he probably snapping O.
Speaker 1: Madcraft.
Speaker 2: He wanted me to show a picture of the World
Speaker 2: Series Trophy.
Speaker 1: I don't know if we can get a good view
Speaker 1: of it on my phone.
Speaker 2: There I see it, he thinks it's beautiful.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying it's not a good looking trophy.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that.
Speaker 7: I'm just saying as far as when you're looking at
Speaker 7: at trophies right now, obviously, the the the NBA Championship
Speaker 7: is kind of modeled off of what we what we
Speaker 7: look at when when we see the Lombardi Trophy if
Speaker 7: you really look at it, right But the Stanley Cup,
Speaker 7: I think just has it's it's it's special. You how
Speaker 7: big it is, how heavy it is, it has every
Speaker 7: players you know you could have, you could have, you know,
Speaker 7: you know Gordy How's great great grandson.
Speaker 4: Go there and go and find and find his dad's names.
Speaker 7: It's it's that's what makes it special, at least in
Speaker 7: my opinion.
Speaker 1: We got Taylor getting some love, we got Joshua Door.
Speaker 1: He says it takes.
Speaker 2: Sixteen wins win the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 5: Yet, all right, it's the same Scott and.
Speaker 8: I always said that that's the hardest one to wed
Speaker 8: the Stanley Cup. The hockey players the holy grail. That
Speaker 8: is the toughest one to win.
Speaker 5: It is a very demanding sport physically and mentally.
Speaker 8: All Right, So I'm still gonna put the World Series
Speaker 8: Baseball second to me because that's one of my favorite
Speaker 8: sports and it is different, it is distinct. I know,
Speaker 8: the flag poles don't mean anything, but to me, that
Speaker 8: still would be number two.
Speaker 4: I would have to say, like.
Speaker 7: If we're talking about, like when we're looking at the
Speaker 7: overall what it takes to get there, to win it,
Speaker 7: prestige and things of that nature, you have to go
Speaker 7: through one hundred and sixty two games and then you know,
Speaker 7: wild Card two more, you know, Divisional Championship rounds and
Speaker 7: then and then and then.
Speaker 5: The World Series LCS. Yeah, and then the World Series. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it's bed. So that's true, very demanding. The one thing
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that I remember is the NBA when
Speaker 5: Detroit won. Oh my god, I'll never forget this.
Speaker 8: In the locker room, Isaiah Yea Thomas was infatuated with
Speaker 8: that Larry O'Brien trophy. It had a beer and and
Speaker 8: champagne stains on it, And I kid you not go
Speaker 8: back in YouTube and look this up. Isaiah Thomas was
Speaker 8: kissing and licking the trophy in the Pistons locker room for.
Speaker 5: The longest time. He was in love with that. He
Speaker 5: made love to that trophy, not just.
Speaker 7: That, like you talk about that, what about when when
Speaker 7: when Jordan won it after the dad passed away, when
Speaker 7: he's sitting there. Yeah, Like there's certain memories that that
Speaker 7: that we all have, watching different players, different teams with
Speaker 7: you know, get over the humph with.
Speaker 4: The with the Super Bowl trophy. It's it's Steve Young.
Speaker 7: It's Steve Young in that that that ninety four nine
Speaker 7: ers seen when he finally he finally got got his
Speaker 7: validation and and won with you know, no Joe Montana
Speaker 7: there things of that nature. I think that was Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know, I was fourteen, fifteen years old. I mean,
Speaker 7: that's just that's ingrained in my memory. I can go
Speaker 7: home around to talk about when Nick Foles had and
Speaker 7: he's going wow, staring at the trophy. But it's Steve
Speaker 7: Young that that was a special moment, at least in
Speaker 7: my eyes.
Speaker 4: So there's little things that we all attached to those trophies.
Speaker 8: So, and somebody asked before about Southern Friday that you
Speaker 8: were talking about security or something like that. The NHL
Speaker 8: has two gentlemen. They are assigned to guard that trophy
Speaker 8: as many times as they can, but they can't go
Speaker 8: to every single party and every single bathroom or celebration
Speaker 8: that they bring that Stanley Cup to. But there's two
Speaker 8: guys from the Hockey Hall of Fen that wear white gloves.
Speaker 8: You'll see them, and they're on the ice or watching
Speaker 8: that trophy constantly.
Speaker 5: So the NHL goes the best job of security. But still,
Speaker 5: look what happened last night.
Speaker 8: We heard it got dented and bent already.
Speaker 5: We should move on though, right, Candy.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we should.
Speaker 3: We can, we can.
Speaker 2: So he No, all I was gonna say is George,
Speaker 2: you had me tickled to death right there.
Speaker 1: He may he made love to that trophy. I love it.
Speaker 1: But yes, we were talking about trophies.
Speaker 2: We're talking about winning them. So we also have the
Speaker 2: NBA Finals though, hey, do not update.
Speaker 1: George on the game. No, it's okay, ladies, And no,
Speaker 1: I'm being serious commenters, y'all be for real. George don't
Speaker 1: want to know what's going on with the game.
Speaker 3: So can let me just quick put address Larry in
Speaker 3: the chat. This is one show that Scott does not
Speaker 3: come on because he takes this time off and he
Speaker 3: lets the rest of his crew do this show. So
Speaker 3: that's why Scott is not on and especially tonight we're
Speaker 3: headed to Vica. He left the keys to the rest
Speaker 3: of us.
Speaker 2: Hey, we out in the Ferrari right now because we
Speaker 2: at the country club.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: You can't go to the country club in an a
Speaker 1: Ford escort.
Speaker 2: Okay, you got to come up pulling up here nice
Speaker 2: and your Maserati or your Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 3: So I have a question for you, gentlemen. What is
Speaker 3: the most expensive thing you guys have ever sold or bought?
Speaker 2: I defer because I don't want anybody to embarrass me.
Speaker 2: So George man, hey, you give us financial advice.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, George.
Speaker 2: Oh, George, we all know you bought a house back
Speaker 2: in the day for like fifty maxtion the fifties, because
Speaker 2: that's how much houses cost back then.
Speaker 5: Actually, actually it was even lower than that first house
Speaker 5: in Detroit cost us I think thirty one thousand dollars only,
Speaker 5: and it was a nice house. Now, guess what happened.
Speaker 8: It was not my biggest purchase because then when we
Speaker 8: went to the suburbs, we bought in a suburb of
Speaker 8: Detroit called war in A, Michigan, and they were much
Speaker 8: higher than that. They were in the fifty sixty thousand
Speaker 8: dollars range. So that would be my biggest purchase so far.
Speaker 8: I never bought a car expensive as that. I usually
Speaker 8: rented or least my car. So but the house would
Speaker 8: be mine, the house of my current residents. And that's
Speaker 8: about sixty two thousand. I think it's worth more now
Speaker 8: though it's a lot more.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, listen, I'm not trying to expose you here, but
Speaker 2: we just know that.
Speaker 1: Hey, listen, I can't buy a house. They too expensive
Speaker 1: these days. Man, I can't do it.
Speaker 2: I don't know about it, but hey, apparently people can
Speaker 2: go by professional teams for ten billion dollars.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 4: Wait here we go with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's about the lakerself. That is what the whole
Speaker 2: question comes down to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I said I.
Speaker 4: Would never spend that much money in on a watch.
Speaker 1: I bought.
Speaker 2: I bought a thirty five thousand dollars truck one time.
Speaker 2: There you go, that's the most expensive thing I've ever
Speaker 2: like bought, Taylor, What about you, what's the most expensive
Speaker 2: thing you've ever bought? We got George, a house, me,
Speaker 2: a truck, a.
Speaker 9: New a new iPhone sixteen pro.
Speaker 7: I'm Jewish, I'm cheap. It was a it was a.
Speaker 7: It was a youth suburban. It was like three green.
Speaker 4: A lot of that's Larry Dude.
Speaker 5: I feel very wow.
Speaker 1: Oh wow, Okay.
Speaker 4: I said I'd never spend that much money on the watch.
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, hey.
Speaker 2: Man, I did buy a very expensive set of golf clubs.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it did not make me any better.
Speaker 3: My most expensive purchase was a house as well. I
Speaker 3: have since sold that house. But yes, my was a house,
Speaker 3: and yeah it was probably it was only like one
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty thousand.
Speaker 2: So you know, listen, when me and my wife first met,
Speaker 2: and then we're gonna go, yeah to the Lakers talk here,
Speaker 2: But when me and my wife we first met, we
Speaker 2: were down in Charleston looking to buy houses.
Speaker 1: I mean, you can find them easy.
Speaker 2: Two hundred, two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars and
Speaker 2: then literally a year later it was like three hundred
Speaker 2: three fifty and then the next year after that it's
Speaker 2: like four to twenty five four. It has just blown
Speaker 2: up everywhere, and so yeah, a lot of people though,
Speaker 2: complain millennials.
Speaker 1: Like me, because you can't just go out and buy
Speaker 1: a house anymore.
Speaker 2: But apparently if you're a billionaire, you can go out
Speaker 2: and buy the Lakers for ten billion.
Speaker 1: So listen, and he was.
Speaker 3: A minority owner to start with.
Speaker 2: Well An owns the Dodgers, and so he's figured out
Speaker 2: how to defer money. Genie Buss is gonna stay as
Speaker 2: the governor for a few years. So hey, George, Steve Taylor,
Speaker 2: what are y'all's overall thoughts? Will this help the Lakers?
Speaker 2: Hurt the Lakers? What are we thinking here with this
Speaker 2: Laker sale? Doesn't mean anything at all.
Speaker 7: Only think we're doing is changing who's the minority owner,
Speaker 7: especially if you're keeping Genie on for.
Speaker 4: A bit like that.
Speaker 7: I was hoping it was a whole new group because
Speaker 7: if I'm a Lakers fan, I'm done with the.
Speaker 4: Flop era.
Speaker 7: It's been an utter waste. You want a Bubble championship
Speaker 7: and you've been metiorocre. You you let this, You let
Speaker 7: this dude have the controls the last five years, and
Speaker 7: what has he done? Horrible playoff losses? Horrible playoff losses,
Speaker 7: brings it, brings in his guy as a coach. It
Speaker 7: still ain't getting any better, brings in his son for
Speaker 7: another side. So show attraction and then he gets and
Speaker 7: then he's picking fights with the media guys because they
Speaker 7: hurt his feelings, Like, are you serious? If I'm this owner,
Speaker 7: I'd be like, what can we do to trade to
Speaker 7: get Lebron out of here?
Speaker 4: Now? I mean that that's just me if I if
Speaker 4: I was this guy, I just paid ten ten.
Speaker 7: Million dollars, ten billion dollars to go go go buy
Speaker 7: this professional team. I want to get get rid of
Speaker 7: the biggest cancer I have on the team, and that
Speaker 7: would that would be Lebron James. Listen, he's he's a
Speaker 7: top ten player all time. I'm not gonna take that
Speaker 7: away from him. But as a teammate, he walked.
Speaker 4: Off of the floor before before had losses.
Speaker 7: He doesn't stay there with his teammates. As coaches, he
Speaker 7: doesn't congratulate the other place. Oh I gotta get ready
Speaker 7: for my routine. You know, it's a long season. That
Speaker 7: is the biggest crock of BS. He reaped cry baby
Speaker 7: from top to bottom. I'm not taking away that that
Speaker 7: that he's a generational talent. We can't deny that.
Speaker 4: We can't.
Speaker 7: He's played almost every position on the floor. He's won
Speaker 7: multiple championships with multiple teams and help be a part
Speaker 7: of building multiple teams.
Speaker 4: But he is literally at the end and end of
Speaker 4: his route.
Speaker 7: If I'm them, I'm finding somebody in the top five
Speaker 7: in this draft to make a trade and move some
Speaker 7: things around and get that guy out of there to
Speaker 7: bring in the next generation talent.
Speaker 8: There, George, I'm not totally surprised by the amount, of
Speaker 8: course not.
Speaker 5: But you gotta look at the situation.
Speaker 8: And I know you're digging, digging real deep on this one, Steve,
Speaker 8: and I appreciate that.
Speaker 5: But the fact of the matter is, if your name
Speaker 5: is the New York Knicks or the New York Yankees,
Speaker 5: or the Boston Celtics or the LA Lakers, I don't
Speaker 5: care what chance you have on your roster or how
Speaker 5: screwed up your team is, You're still gonna.
Speaker 8: Get this super unre ridiculous amount of money for selling
Speaker 8: that team, because those are the marquee names and the
Speaker 8: marquee teams, and the all the media exposure and all
Speaker 8: the advertising and everything like that, and the television networks,
Speaker 8: especially the Yankees create their own network and all this.
Speaker 8: So I understand what you're saying, Steven, but the thing
Speaker 8: is is.
Speaker 5: That no, those owners will always get that gravy trend
Speaker 5: that'll always get the big bucks like that, even if
Speaker 5: it's a minority or a majority, fifty one percent sale,
Speaker 5: whatever it is, because that's what happens. The price of
Speaker 5: these teams keeps going on and on and on higher
Speaker 5: and higher. A lot of US can I with stadiums too,
Speaker 5: arenas whether you own that to with the package, but
Speaker 5: these teams here, oh my god. It's like I agree
Speaker 5: with you though, Steven. I mean.
Speaker 4: The dollar a man on.
Speaker 7: It isn't surprising when we talk about the Los Angeles Lakers.
Speaker 7: There are top three sports franchise in North America. Doesn't
Speaker 7: matter if we're talking football, baseball, basketball, or hockey. They
Speaker 7: are top four franchise. Their their merchandise sells out no
Speaker 7: matter where you go, matter what city you're in.
Speaker 4: We just seen the Celtics self for what like six
Speaker 4: billion dollars.
Speaker 7: Not long ago, So why are we not surprised that
Speaker 7: the Lakers just sold for for for ten billion dollars.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna get your return back. It doesn't matter,
Speaker 4: of course, JD.
Speaker 1: You're on mute.
Speaker 2: I wasn't talking nobody. That was just killing I was
Speaker 2: telling my kid to go to bed, That's what I
Speaker 2: was doing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, leave me alone.
Speaker 2: But no, So I do have a question though, after
Speaker 2: we hear what Taylor has to say, Taylor, give it listen.
Speaker 2: They've given us two great responses. Can you follow that?
Speaker 9: Well, it's very very expensive, like extremely expensive. If it's sold,
Speaker 9: it's sold. It doesn't what it doesn't all Being sold
Speaker 9: doesn't always reflect on the team's performance. It depends on
Speaker 9: other stuff outside of the playing surface, outside of the game,
Speaker 9: like other like more important other stuff, you know, like properties,
Speaker 9: other bills to pay it, et cetera.
Speaker 1: Right, absolutely, there's more to it. And so yeah, my question,
Speaker 1: I guess would have been.
Speaker 9: Even the Celtics they were sold, they had nothing to
Speaker 9: do with their performance. The Lakers another new example.
Speaker 2: M Oh yeah, well we've seen that the Oakland Athletics
Speaker 2: move and.
Speaker 1: All this stuff.
Speaker 9: Tampa Bay Rays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, go into the money. You gotta find the money.
Speaker 2: And so that was gonna be my one other question
Speaker 2: though here in the.
Speaker 9: Red Wings could be next if the District Detroit project
Speaker 9: still isn't finished because Chris Zilich is still a cheapskate
Speaker 9: parking lot.
Speaker 2: King is no go ahead, Hey, go ahead, elaborate, Taylor.
Speaker 1: I want to hear more.
Speaker 9: Because Chris Kiloch just keeps failing to finish properties such
Speaker 9: as new buildings and other stuff like it just it's
Speaker 9: just he just leaves out parking lots and just spends
Speaker 9: too much money. Yeah, it just can't do that right.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we saw David Tepper do it here
Speaker 2: in the Carolina as he started a whole practice facility
Speaker 2: up in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: Pulled the plug on it.
Speaker 2: And then whenever they want to build a new stadium,
Speaker 2: they want to ask for taxpayer dollars, but they won't
Speaker 2: give me any free tickets.
Speaker 4: We just seen that here in Philadelphia.
Speaker 7: You know, we were trying they're trying to get a
Speaker 7: get the Sixers.
Speaker 5: To be separate, separate from what you mean, in the
Speaker 5: same building as they.
Speaker 7: They they share what is now the the now the
Speaker 7: Infinity Center is no longer the worst Fargo Center with
Speaker 7: with the Flyers. They were trying to get a Philadelphia
Speaker 7: version of of of of what the Knicks have, you know,
Speaker 7: uh uh uh, you know, a Madison Square garden where
Speaker 7: you go down into the stadium, and they were gonna
Speaker 7: knock out half the fat fashion.
Speaker 4: District in Chinatown.
Speaker 7: And on top of that, they wanted the fans to
Speaker 7: pay for a good portion it.
Speaker 4: So when they weren't gonna get their way, they were
Speaker 4: threatening to.
Speaker 7: Go to Jersey, and a lot a lot of fans
Speaker 7: here in Philadelphia was like, fine, you can, you can
Speaker 7: move the.
Speaker 4: Team New Jersey, but you can't take the name. Philadelphia.
Speaker 7: Seventy six is where you you can go be the
Speaker 7: New Jersey whatever you want to be. It has nothing,
Speaker 7: you know, because they were talking about going over to Camden.
Speaker 4: All right, you be the uh, you know, the Camden
Speaker 4: whatever you want to call it.
Speaker 7: There's a there's a mall that just died up here
Speaker 7: in the northeast that that that they could literally do
Speaker 7: exactly what they want there and have stores on top
Speaker 7: of it and everything like that.
Speaker 4: But there it.
Speaker 7: Would be perfect because it's right next to where you
Speaker 7: would go to get on on Interstate ninety five.
Speaker 4: But they didn't want to do that, so then they.
Speaker 7: Wound up renewing the least there is gonna stay in
Speaker 7: at the Infinity Center at Lease for another five years
Speaker 7: and we're gonna start all over again.
Speaker 4: But you know, it does as a matter where the
Speaker 4: owner is.
Speaker 7: It just there's always going to be issues like that,
Speaker 7: and it's just the finances of of our of our
Speaker 7: major sports teams are interesting at some time.
Speaker 3: So does anybody know how long the Bus family has
Speaker 3: owned the Lakers?
Speaker 4: Seventy nine much paid like thirty seven million?
Speaker 3: It was sixty seven point five million.
Speaker 4: Jerry bust I was off by thirty or so.
Speaker 3: But when he did it as part of the agreement,
Speaker 3: he took over this the l the Lakers along with
Speaker 3: NHL's Los Angeles Kings. Yes, I remember that, so, yeah,
Speaker 3: sixty seven point five million for both of those franchise.
Speaker 3: Now he died back in twenty thirteen. His daughter j
Speaker 3: officially assumed control of the franchise in two thousand and
Speaker 3: seven seventeen because she was having arguments and owner ship
Speaker 3: dispute with her brothers. And now she sold it ten
Speaker 3: billion dollars. Good for her and she gets to stay on.
Speaker 2: Well, hey, that was gonna be my question to Candy now,
Speaker 2: I mean perfect segue obviously is yeah, they said they
Speaker 2: sold a majority steak.
Speaker 1: For ten billion dollars. It ain't like they bought the whole.
Speaker 5: Franchise, right, right?
Speaker 1: So was that was that? Was?
Speaker 2: It? Was it sixty percent? Was it seventy five percent?
Speaker 2: Was eighty percent? I mean, I'm no mathematician, but that
Speaker 2: tells me that the franchise was worth more than ten billion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what more than half right.
Speaker 5: Per minimum?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So yeah, they had to purchase anywhere from fifty one
Speaker 2: to ninety nine percent, because if it would have been
Speaker 2: one hundred percent, that's no.
Speaker 1: Longer majority, that's ownership. Correct. It was either fifty one
Speaker 1: to ninety nine. I mean, what do y'all think they bought.
Speaker 1: I want to know, I.
Speaker 3: Want sixty percent rings the bus family were to sell
Speaker 3: it sixty six percent share?
Speaker 1: What? Oh? Is it? Okay?
Speaker 2: So that would mean that it's worth what nineteen billion probable?
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you sold sixty six percent for ten right? Yeah,
Speaker 1: just on that math alone.
Speaker 2: I mean, George, how about that return when you bought
Speaker 2: a house? Oh great, hey, Steve, how about that return
Speaker 2: when you would have bought that suburban it was or
Speaker 2: was it a tao?
Speaker 1: Was a suburban suburban?
Speaker 4: I was not going with the tahoe. I like my
Speaker 4: truck's big brother.
Speaker 1: Hey, we listen, we do everything big, do it big?
Speaker 4: No, I didn't get that return.
Speaker 7: I actually you know, by the time I got rid
Speaker 7: of it, it was it wasn't running, so I just
Speaker 7: basically got what I could.
Speaker 1: For it, right, Yes, did you make sure to click
Speaker 1: that as is button on the title?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Candy, let's hit some comments real quick before
Speaker 2: we changed it up.
Speaker 1: Can do we listen? We've got pe digits. I know
Speaker 1: these guys were. They were going at it a while ago.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were going.
Speaker 2: No, you don't have to go back too far. Doesn't
Speaker 2: see if I can find anything. Yeah, Matt Craft, he
Speaker 2: mentioned something about the trophy early.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've seen something.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask meanwhile, Tom Brady, Yeah, Tom Brady is
Speaker 1: tossing the Lombard. I was gonna mention that I was
Speaker 1: gonna careless behavior by him, very careless, George, You're right.
Speaker 5: Great Tampa. That's what he wanted in Tampa.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're tossing it from one boat to the other
Speaker 5: or whatever.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, oh goodness, can't I can't even I know.
Speaker 2: I see somebody that said feet picks. Hey, do any
Speaker 2: of you guys do feet pictures?
Speaker 1: I don't know how much.
Speaker 4: Listen.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna bring up something as we get to the
Speaker 7: end of this, after he goes through a few topics.
Speaker 4: So I just I just loaded a photo in the back.
Speaker 4: I want to I want to get your guys thoughts on.
Speaker 1: Since there is Hey, George, I'm sorry though to introduce
Speaker 1: you to the but this is what we get here
Speaker 1: when when we get to go in sometimes.
Speaker 5: The country club.
Speaker 1: Oh, I know what he said, feet picks about Gamecock.
Speaker 1: Chuck said, that's the most he's ever sold something for. Oh,
Speaker 1: no comment, Oh my gosh, game Cock, Chuck.
Speaker 3: We can talk about this money being thrown for selling.
Speaker 3: How about the Boston Red Sox. They gave they gave
Speaker 3: Chris Christian Campbell uh a contract back in early April
Speaker 3: sixty million dollars to play in the big leagues, and
Speaker 3: now they've demoted him to the Miners April sixty million dollars,
Speaker 3: and now I demoted him to the miners twenty two
Speaker 3: years old. You could give me sixty million dollars.
Speaker 8: They're so screwed up right now. Every time they get
Speaker 8: a superstar in Boston, they find a way to ruin
Speaker 8: it and trade him and get rid of him. If
Speaker 8: I was a Boston Nation guy or lady, I would
Speaker 8: be so upset right now. You would not see me
Speaker 8: giving them a nickel at Fenway Park. There's no other
Speaker 8: team i've seen that has blown it as much as
Speaker 8: they have in the last three or four big names
Speaker 8: that they've signed.
Speaker 5: Just face it, they don't have a clue what they're doing.
Speaker 5: I don't care what they say.
Speaker 8: They can spin it any way they want candy.
Speaker 5: That's my opinion.
Speaker 4: He's not wrong.
Speaker 5: And you know what, they let my boy go Dave Debrowski.
Speaker 5: Dave Debrowski was the president of that organization. Remember all
Speaker 5: of a sudden, Oh oh, he's not coming back.
Speaker 8: Okay, fine, he did a nice job in Philadelphia, that's fine.
Speaker 6: He loves it there.
Speaker 8: Before that, of course, we know he was in Nashville
Speaker 8: to try to stuff a new MLB team in Nashville.
Speaker 8: I'm digressing here, but all I can say is, you
Speaker 8: brought off the bulls to the red side. They're not
Speaker 8: one of my favorite candy at all, not.
Speaker 3: One of mine either, But I figured it was, didn't
Speaker 3: They didn't.
Speaker 7: They just ran there the recent superstar out of town
Speaker 7: because they want him to play first base. I still
Speaker 7: think he should have attempted to play first base as.
Speaker 4: They figured out an option.
Speaker 7: Oh I do too, but but like you don't push
Speaker 7: it to the point where he feels like like, listen,
Speaker 7: I'm not I'm not going to entertain this. I'm not
Speaker 7: going to be run down by the media here here
Speaker 7: in Boston. Get me out of here, and he winds
Speaker 7: up going to San Francisco.
Speaker 2: Now, ye, Eric Katz and I we have that conversation
Speaker 2: on Monday on one and eight Stitches of Baseball with
Speaker 2: South Florida Tribune. I think that Devers created himself a
Speaker 2: cancerous situation, which George Steve Taylor. There are dirty words
Speaker 2: that we have on Southern Fried sports, chemistry, culture, commitment, competition, camaraderie.
Speaker 1: Listen, we can I've got more.
Speaker 2: They it always the list is always ever compiling another
Speaker 2: dirty sea word.
Speaker 1: How about that? I'm a poet and didn't know it,
Speaker 1: but that's what I think.
Speaker 5: Candy a sea word?
Speaker 7: Please, No, I know, but you said right to that quote.
Speaker 5: What up about the brewers Candy?
Speaker 1: Well, hey, I'll tell you what. Candy is a dirty
Speaker 1: sea word because her name is Candy. Kids that do
Speaker 1: not eat candy. JD.
Speaker 5: You're digging too deep in a hole you're in.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not, No, I'm didn't. Y'all got listen, we
Speaker 2: gotta listen. Candy is a dirty sea word. Because she
Speaker 2: is candy. Guess what I tell my kids.
Speaker 1: Not to eat all the time because they'll get cavities. Candy.
Speaker 1: They are dirty sea words everywhere.
Speaker 2: Anyways, Oh my goodness, we went down that rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: No I didn't.
Speaker 2: But anyway, No I didn't lead us down there. I
Speaker 2: started down the dirty sea word hole. But they're sports related.
Speaker 2: Family show eyes up here, everybody.
Speaker 1: I say it all the time. That's one of my
Speaker 1: other things.
Speaker 2: But Devers, I think created himself a cancerous situation. The
Speaker 2: he's not gonna play a position or whatever, all of
Speaker 2: that nonsense went.
Speaker 1: You get so deep.
Speaker 2: I think the Red Sox will still make another move.
Speaker 2: We had that conversation though, Eric Katz and I. He
Speaker 2: seems to think that it was management's fault. I think
Speaker 2: it's everybody's fault. It's everybody's fault if they couldn't if
Speaker 2: the management couldn't suck it up, if he couldn't suck
Speaker 2: it up and have a conversation as.
Speaker 1: Men, be honest, be open, be kind.
Speaker 2: What's the point, Taylor, What do you think was was
Speaker 2: the ratheel Devers Boston Red Sox stuff? What do you
Speaker 2: how do you lean.
Speaker 3: Taylor?
Speaker 9: He just wanted to be traded, So.
Speaker 1: What was it a Jimmy Butler situation?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not sure. To be honest, I think Raphael
Speaker 9: Devers just wanted to be be traded and I think
Speaker 9: he's I think he's more comfortable with the San Francisco Giants.
Speaker 1: There was no guarantee there. Yeah, Steve, what do you think?
Speaker 4: I think it's a.
Speaker 7: Little bit of everything. I think it was his fault,
Speaker 7: the organization's fault. He was you know, it's it's hard
Speaker 7: to play in some of these some of these large
Speaker 7: market cities, especially when it's prestigious, as you know the
Speaker 7: Red Sox and they're there, they they have they hold
Speaker 7: their players to a certain certain level. And you look
Speaker 7: at like we we've been riding trade Turner all year
Speaker 7: this year because he's gotten a big contract out of us.
Speaker 4: And came in. He was supposed to do a lot
Speaker 4: of things and he hasn't.
Speaker 7: And we have some of these other young guys that
Speaker 7: were going around and a lot of fans felt that
Speaker 7: he should have he should move to accommodate when certain
Speaker 7: lineups is because he can basically play just about the
Speaker 7: whole infield, and at some point in time they were like, well,
Speaker 7: well he should you know, Boone struggling, he should play third,
Speaker 7: and they should move this around and do that. And
Speaker 7: he's saying, I'm playing in the position I'm playing.
Speaker 4: I don't even talking about. But where they are, they're
Speaker 4: trying to.
Speaker 7: Build build a culture to get back to winning ways,
Speaker 7: and you have this guy that's taking this big contract
Speaker 7: and you've got to hold down there at first base.
Speaker 7: You know, I could see why people are upset with him.
Speaker 7: I don't think I think he was in a no
Speaker 7: win situation and he was just like, you know what,
Speaker 7: this team isn't going to go anywhere anytime. You can
Speaker 7: send me to somewhere where I could potentially compete playoff
Speaker 7: and see what happened bet you know, potentially winning.
Speaker 4: A World Series.
Speaker 7: Because let's be honest, Boston ain't nowhere close to getting
Speaker 7: ready to compete for a World Series.
Speaker 4: So he got himself out.
Speaker 7: He's in a nice situation there in San Francisco where
Speaker 7: you know, I mean, obviously you got to compete with
Speaker 7: the Dodgers out there, but.
Speaker 4: I think he's in a situation where he could at least.
Speaker 7: Have potential of playoff baseball where you know, it's rough
Speaker 7: in Boston right now.
Speaker 4: The only competitive team they have is the Celtics.
Speaker 7: The Bruins are probably the worst they've ever been in
Speaker 7: their franchise's history, and the Red Sox are a dysfunctional
Speaker 7: organization from up top to where they are right now.
Speaker 4: And I think he knew what he's seen, and just.
Speaker 7: As Taylor was saying, created a cancer situation and got
Speaker 7: himself out of there.
Speaker 5: Don't forget your Patriots too. They're having a great last
Speaker 5: few years, aren't they.
Speaker 4: You know, the whole regime's gone.
Speaker 7: It's so going to where the players that was in
Speaker 7: that regime is now the head coach of the team,
Speaker 7: not one, but two different players.
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, Candy, yes your thoughts. I know you're on
Speaker 2: vacation mode back there.
Speaker 3: Yes, Well, Dever saw the writing on the wall. Let's
Speaker 3: face it, Boston, the Red Sox, that whole organization is
Speaker 3: not going anywhere from so he decided, you know what,
Speaker 3: trade me, get me out, let me go someplace else,
Speaker 3: because you're going to bring in I've been here and
Speaker 3: you're gonna bring somebody else in and play my position
Speaker 3: and now move me And no, no, no, wait a minute,
Speaker 3: what about loyalty to the people that are are that
Speaker 3: are there? Or what about coming to me and you
Speaker 3: know and really asking me instead of just shifting me
Speaker 3: like you know, so so the writing on the wall
Speaker 3: and said, you know what I need out. This isn't
Speaker 3: the right spot for me this and so, you know,
Speaker 3: I guess kudos to him, really like for knowing that
Speaker 3: and just coming out and saying, now, maybe he should
Speaker 3: he should have not gone as public yet probably, but
Speaker 3: everything comes out, Let's face it, these days, there's nothing
Speaker 3: that stays private, hardly at all. So but yeah, kudos
Speaker 3: to him, I mean, and and honestly probably kudos to
Speaker 3: the Giants forgetting them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that.
Speaker 2: Who who remembered that Buster Posey was the manager for
Speaker 2: the San Francisco Giants. I loved him as a catcher,
Speaker 2: who remembered that he's the manager out there?
Speaker 1: Now? I didn't.
Speaker 4: They didn't let Gabe Kapler go, That's right.
Speaker 5: Yes, I could not.
Speaker 8: YEA one of the best catchers in his era, are
Speaker 8: no question about it.
Speaker 1: I loved, I loved I hope right.
Speaker 8: For him, my hopes for him as a manager. I
Speaker 8: think he'll be good. Most catchers make good managers. It's
Speaker 8: happened a lot in baseball history when you look through
Speaker 8: the years, and uh, yeah, yeah, no, I think they'll
Speaker 8: do but good.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, back to the whole Devers thing, and
Speaker 2: what Candy said, I wish hey, listeners, Pete, it's King
Speaker 2: game Cock, Chuck, Josh, all of you guys, y'all are
Speaker 2: all so smart, Madcraft, all of you.
Speaker 1: You're all, y'all are all so smart.
Speaker 2: And then even to Taylor and Steve and George, I
Speaker 2: asked the question, is there some way we can turn
Speaker 2: loyalty into a dirty sea word?
Speaker 1: Is there a synonym for that word? No, that's our homework.
Speaker 1: You get home, Taylor, what is you talking about? Leave
Speaker 1: me out of whoa?
Speaker 4: Pete did this? Whoa whoa whoa? No one said he
Speaker 4: said he wasn't the best of his time. We said,
Speaker 4: he's one.
Speaker 7: I know my ears are clocked, but I heard I
Speaker 7: heard George correctly.
Speaker 9: He said, But I have no suggestions. Yeah, that's right,
Speaker 9: I have no suggestions.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got known for you on on that on
Speaker 4: that one.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, no. That that's why it's homework. That's why
Speaker 1: you gotta look it up later, because yeah, we're not
Speaker 1: gonna all look it up right now.
Speaker 2: But I bet you there's a word out there somewhere. Anyways,
Speaker 2: we'll get onto some more sports talk, Candy. What else
Speaker 2: do we have left? You're the topic queen. You are
Speaker 2: the queen of the show.
Speaker 4: There's a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, there's always we always do one topic
Speaker 3: on fire Up, and that's my town. So why don't
Speaker 3: we go around the horn and everybody can talk a
Speaker 3: little bit about what's happening in your town? And obviously
Speaker 3: we all know from my standpoint that the Stanley Cup
Speaker 3: is being passed around and let's see the plastic. You know,
Speaker 3: there's a crack in it now and there's a dent here.
Speaker 3: But no, let's go around the horn. George, what's happening
Speaker 3: in your town?
Speaker 5: Well, my town.
Speaker 8: I was a little bit optimistic, and Taylor will back
Speaker 8: me up on this one, that Detroit was going to
Speaker 8: be able to take two games of a double letder,
Speaker 8: but now it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Speaker 8: There was a long rain delay in the bottom of
Speaker 8: the ninth inning, I believe it was with a score
Speaker 8: tied four to four, and which happens a lot to
Speaker 8: the Tigers.
Speaker 5: I noticed they're not doing very well in the extra
Speaker 5: ending games.
Speaker 8: So they spotted four runs for Pittsburgh and the top
Speaker 8: of the tenth and Taylor. I don't know if it's
Speaker 8: over with yet, but but they won the first.
Speaker 5: Game Detroit did.
Speaker 8: And twenty games above five hundred is nothing a sneeze ad.
Speaker 8: The team has done very, very well. They're gonna have
Speaker 8: three or four guys on the All Star team. The
Speaker 8: division race is very non existent right now, nine to
Speaker 8: ten games behind Cleveland, Minnesota, Kansas. They take your pick,
Speaker 8: but I think that the Tigers have really proven one thing,
Speaker 8: and that is Detroit is still and always will be
Speaker 8: a damn good baseball town.
Speaker 5: They're buying tickets like they haven't bought in years downtown
Speaker 5: to see the Tigers play. Place only seats forty one
Speaker 5: forty two thousand with standing room, but they are selling
Speaker 5: out a lot of games right now, so baseball is back.
Speaker 5: I know the Lions are still king Kings of the jungle,
Speaker 5: but their number one nemesis at the gate is the Tigers.
Speaker 5: And that's what's going on in my town, Detroit, Michigan.
Speaker 1: JD.
Speaker 3: What's happening in your town.
Speaker 1: I'm in deferred Taylor. You're town brother.
Speaker 9: Well, well, of course, yeah. In fact, in fact, the
Speaker 9: Pirates just took Game two, eight to four.
Speaker 5: I mean, thanks for the update, right.
Speaker 9: But but the rain Raindeley had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 9: Before I touch on the Tigers and Lions in general, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: it was tied it for going into the bottom bottom
Speaker 9: of the ninth inning anyway, It was gonna be a
Speaker 9: one two three inning anyway. Jake Rogers was facing a
Speaker 9: one to two count when that rain delay occurred. He
Speaker 9: had no chance of he had no chance of whatsoever
Speaker 9: even getting on base because he has such a low
Speaker 9: batting average. And I'm gonna look it up right now.
Speaker 9: But the Tigers and lines in general, the Tigers, uh,
Speaker 9: they're they're still being all of MLB. The Lions had
Speaker 9: that number one seed in the NFC, but they they
Speaker 9: just choked so badly to the Washington Commanders at home
Speaker 9: forty five thirty one in the divisional playoff. They of
Speaker 9: course that the defense, their defensive unit was so banged up,
Speaker 9: but their offense kept turning the darn ball over like
Speaker 9: five times. If you're gonna, if you're going to keep
Speaker 9: up with the Commander's offense when your defense is so
Speaker 9: banged up, you better you better make this a bigger
Speaker 9: slug fest than this by not turning the ball over.
Speaker 9: You gotta be smarter than that. And that's that's exactly
Speaker 9: why the Lions got a new defensive coordinator, John Morton
Speaker 9: from the Denver Broncos and and his mission. Part of
Speaker 9: his mission is to develop this offensive unit to handle
Speaker 9: the handle the ball better and make better decisions with it.
Speaker 9: And that's yeah, just stick more with the run game,
Speaker 9: Jamiir Gibbs, David Montgomery. Of course, that's why you stick
Speaker 9: with more of the run game. That way you have
Speaker 9: less chances of turning the ball over. But really, the
Speaker 9: Lions should not give up yet. And the Tigers in general,
Speaker 9: they just they have the best record in the Major
Speaker 9: League Baseball, but they have flaws that they need to exercise.
Speaker 9: They need a better bullpen. Brand Herder just got the
Speaker 9: helpy out of him in the top of the tenth.
Speaker 9: I don't even care about that close call at home plate.
Speaker 9: I don't care. Bran Herder gave a vault all four runs.
Speaker 9: I mean, he's usually better than that. His era is
Speaker 9: two thirty three. Jake Rogers one seventy eight batting average
Speaker 9: fifty ops. Yes, he can play defense, but his bat
Speaker 9: eh as soggy as a saw tee onion. That's the truth.
Speaker 9: I'm gonna I'm gonna touch even more on that on
Speaker 9: my podcast, of course.
Speaker 2: Height and we'll go ahead, bro, go ahead, finish that
Speaker 2: statement up. Tell them as a matter of fact, everybody,
Speaker 2: So Taylor, and then we'll go to Steve and then
Speaker 2: we'll go to George Taylor.

Speaker 1: Oh he said, did you say tata tata?
Speaker 3: Do?
Speaker 1: I love I love it? That was fantastic. That was awesome.
Speaker 2: Hey, so I know everybody listen though, does anybody have
Speaker 2: an actual score update?
Speaker 4: Like I haven't looked at it yet. I can tell
Speaker 4: you either mean.
Speaker 9: Ninety sixty two, ninety to sixty two piecers just beginning
Speaker 9: of the fourth ninety two to sixty two.
Speaker 7: Yeah, wow, Game seven in the NBA Finals ain't nothing
Speaker 7: like it?
Speaker 1: All right, all right, Game seven and game threes, And
Speaker 1: that's what I'm a big fan of.
Speaker 2: So Kandy, I don't know even where to governm here. Listen,
Speaker 2: we've talked literally everything I don't know. We still got
Speaker 2: we still got forty minutes in my state. Oh yeah, no, yes, Steve.
Speaker 7: Sorry, Hey, well, first and Foremo were sticking it up
Speaker 7: at the beginning of the season.
Speaker 4: As of right this moment.
Speaker 7: Because they just they just beat the Morelands two to one,
Speaker 7: back to being tied for the NFC East lead.
Speaker 4: Or n East lead.
Speaker 7: I'm saying NFC NLS lead and the stinking Braves are
Speaker 7: ten games out at this point in time. So rivory
Speaker 7: time in this in Philadelphia is good. And other notes,
Speaker 7: you know, quoting John Clarke here right now, right four
Speaker 7: of the Philadelphia Philly starters are have the top I
Speaker 7: think top twelve, you know, e r in the league.
Speaker 4: Ranger Suarez is a two point two zero nick Abel.
Speaker 7: You know, he's been giving a giving us some uh
Speaker 7: some innings there as as Nola's still still dealing with
Speaker 7: ankle issues. He's a two point two one wheeler, always dealing.
Speaker 7: He's he's two point seven to six and pitching tonight
Speaker 7: was Christopher Sangez and he's still a two point eighty seven.
Speaker 4: The fact that we know that the Bats ain't been doing.
Speaker 7: What they needed to this season, that's that's why they've
Speaker 7: been into trouble.
Speaker 4: I have a feeling they're gonna wind up, you know,
Speaker 4: getting a hold of of uh, you.
Speaker 7: Know, one of these teams like uh, you know, the
Speaker 7: White Sox or somebody like that, trying to get an
Speaker 7: outfielder from them, because that's where they're having problem. Uh
Speaker 7: trading for Brandon Marsh a few years ago, and it
Speaker 7: just he just, you know, as as entertaining of a
Speaker 7: of a of a person he is, he just hasn't
Speaker 7: been working out, and uh, I feel like that that
Speaker 7: we're getting ready to see a trade here. I know
Speaker 7: a lot of fans have been calling to try to
Speaker 7: bring in uh trout out of out of the.
Speaker 4: L a there. I don't think that's gonna happen, but uh.
Speaker 7: I think having the extra arms, you know, uh down
Speaker 7: there with Abel Andrew Painter is gonna be gonna be
Speaker 7: a pretty good, uh major league baseball pitcher as well.
Speaker 4: Rangers swore.
Speaker 7: As his contract is up, I won't be surprised to
Speaker 7: see him moved at the deadline. But I think the
Speaker 7: Phillies are in a decent position. They have to win
Speaker 7: a World Series this year because if.
Speaker 4: Not, I think Rob Thompson's gone.
Speaker 7: They didn't they didn't do much moves during during this offseason.
Speaker 7: They were basically gonna run it back with the same roster.
Speaker 7: I think that he's gone and he's in a little
Speaker 7: bit of a hot seat because he just ended Nick Castiano,
Speaker 7: I think he was two.
Speaker 4: Hundred and seventy six consecutive.
Speaker 7: Games and sat him down because Nick gave him some
Speaker 7: choice words after he was pulled for the you know,
Speaker 7: a defensive defensive replacement in the eighth inning of one
Speaker 7: of the games this week. So his streak come going end,
Speaker 7: and they they apparently since then, he's asked for statistics
Speaker 7: on you know, his base running stuff like that, stuff
Speaker 7: that he can he can kind of adjust things for
Speaker 7: the Other thing is obviously the Sixers got the number
Speaker 7: three pick, and uh uh, I don't I don't.
Speaker 4: Know if they stay, I don't know if they trade down.
Speaker 7: I don't know what they do there, but they need
Speaker 7: a lot of help, you know, all all three of
Speaker 7: their their big they're big paid superstars to spend extensive
Speaker 7: time on on the injured list.
Speaker 4: Obviously Joel and Bid.
Speaker 7: You got b Boll, Paul George there, you know, he's
Speaker 7: spending more time on the podcast than anything.
Speaker 4: Maxie, you know, had an unfortunate injury.
Speaker 7: Uh, your first round draft pick, you know, uh winds
Speaker 7: up spending extensive time on on the the injured list
Speaker 7: as well.
Speaker 4: So interesting to see what they'll do with the third
Speaker 4: pick there.
Speaker 7: Then obviously, you know my Eagles are the defending champions there.
Speaker 7: Uh basically been been told that now that uh Jalen
Speaker 7: Carter hasn't even scratched the surface. He doesn't even really
Speaker 7: know how to play defensive tackle right now, what we've
Speaker 7: seen out of last two years out of him. Some
Speaker 7: when people inside the locker room says he still hasn't
Speaker 7: gotten to figure it out yet, and what we've seen
Speaker 7: him do on the field is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 4: So I'm interested to see if they can they can
Speaker 4: run it back.
Speaker 7: I know Jalen Jalen Hurts have been talking to a
Speaker 7: lot of these people who have won back to back
Speaker 7: championships in other sports, So be interesting to see what
Speaker 7: they do other than that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully the Flyers do something this year.
Speaker 7: Other than that, I think that that's all that's going
Speaker 7: on in my hometown at the moment.
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm gonna kind of because I know I
Speaker 3: talked a little bit about Florida, but we all know
Speaker 3: that my heart really is in Wisconsin at least with
Speaker 3: the teams. At least with the teams. Let's face it,
Speaker 3: the Brewers today beat the Cubbies, so we're always happy
Speaker 3: when that happens, because you know, we do not like
Speaker 3: Wrigley North as people, but this game was played actually
Speaker 3: in Wrigley. But the other big news, obviously is what's
Speaker 3: happened lately with the Packers, and I know Jayra Alexander
Speaker 3: is now a raven kudos to him. But one of
Speaker 3: the other things that people don't know or might not
Speaker 3: know is that our president Mark Murphy, there is in
Speaker 3: the team bylaws that at the age of seventy he
Speaker 3: must retire, So he is retiring in less than a
Speaker 3: month and Ed Policy is going to take over. The
Speaker 3: interesting thing about that is both Brian Gutenkourse and Matt
Speaker 3: Lafleur this is two years left on their contracts. He
Speaker 3: is not one that likes or thinks that a manager
Speaker 3: or general manager should work until their last year of
Speaker 3: the contract. So this is kind of their prove it year,
Speaker 3: I think, and what they do, and it'll be interesting
Speaker 3: to see how the Packers do and then what Ed
Speaker 3: does in response to knowing that this is his first
Speaker 3: year with the Packers in the capacity that he's going
Speaker 3: to be in. So that's pretty much what's happening in
Speaker 3: my time right now.
Speaker 1: J Drum talking noney all again. I wasn't talking to.
Speaker 4: Y'all like this then, so we don't know you're talking.
Speaker 1: No, I really was. I was talking to you. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have Hey, we're gonna start a game.
Speaker 4: But I got one for you. Since we're yeah, we'll
Speaker 4: start a game.
Speaker 2: And it'll be one that I lose at, obviously, So
Speaker 2: how about that. I'll choose a game that I'm gonna
Speaker 2: lose at. How about comments?
Speaker 1: We got good comments coming in, did anybody?
Speaker 11: And then there's one more thing I want to adore
Speaker 11: before anything. Go ahead, What is the worst sports bet
Speaker 11: that you've ever made? Betting with a friend? An actual bet?
Speaker 11: What is the worst one you've ever done?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 2: I see, I'm okay, Steve, So obviously you and I.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and tell everybody a story, or I'll
Speaker 2: tell a bio if you will, I listen. I can't
Speaker 2: talk drunk, okay, I can't. It doesn't matter if I'm
Speaker 2: talking about the Gang Cocks this year being a national
Speaker 2: championship contender or a college football playoff contender.
Speaker 1: I can't do it, okay, And I'll tell you the story.
Speaker 2: Played on a baseball team. I'm not gonna cheat my
Speaker 2: own horn, but choot coot. I was pretty freaking good. However,
Speaker 2: the team I played on not so good in high school.
Speaker 2: So here I am, though, we're down ten runs. I'm
Speaker 2: standing at second base, nobody out, and I'm talking junk
Speaker 2: to the second baseman because he talked junk to me,
Speaker 2: and I was like, hey man, I was like. He
Speaker 2: was like, check the scoreboard, and I was like, check it.
Speaker 2: In about two innings, I was like, I'm about to
Speaker 2: score the first run of this game for us, Like yeah, no,
Speaker 2: I got doubled off at second had to trot back
Speaker 2: to the dugout with my head down. I had to
Speaker 2: do that walk of shame. So listen, I don't talk crap.
Speaker 2: I'm a pessimistic fan. You will not see any sun.
Speaker 4: Oh oh, he frozze.
Speaker 3: He froze, he froze. Everyone tells me the best comments.
Speaker 3: I would never say that.
Speaker 4: But he got lost, all right, Well he'll be back.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna.
Speaker 7: Give you the whole reason by why I said, what
Speaker 7: is the worst bet you did? So came across this
Speaker 7: nugget on on social media, where an Eagles fan is
Speaker 7: in a relationship with a Giants fan. Apparently there must
Speaker 7: have been some bet along the lines of what happened
Speaker 7: last season. So apparently the bet was a tattoo and
Speaker 7: oh my god, is it a doozy? This was the
Speaker 7: tattoo oh I said made about my husband that the
Speaker 7: Giants would be the Eagles.
Speaker 4: I lost. It was my time to pay up.
Speaker 7: First off, being a woman, Candy would did you ever
Speaker 7: want to make a bet like that? And two that
Speaker 7: would be the ending tattoo that you would have to
Speaker 7: get to pay off?
Speaker 4: Said bet, No, but that's me that that that's that's
Speaker 4: a doozy right there.
Speaker 3: That's on her arm too, isn't it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's like the back of the forearm there, Taylor,
Speaker 7: do you have anything on that tattoo?
Speaker 9: No, this is embarrassing.
Speaker 4: Oh my god? What Jason Weisteining just basically was like,

Speaker 7: I'm I'm asking j D here what was not embarrassing
Speaker 7: about that? The whole tattoo was embarrassing? Hell would losing
Speaker 7: the bet that tattoo has to be one of the
Speaker 7: worst Eagles tattoos I've ever seen.

Speaker 1: so far this year.
Speaker 2: The Braves, they have only won three games straight three times.
Speaker 2: They've only won four games straight one time, and then
Speaker 2: tonight they swept the Mets. Can they get it back
Speaker 2: on track, Steve, I hear you laughing. No, I don't
Speaker 2: think they can.
Speaker 7: The ten games is not impossible to come over.
Speaker 4: But like, we haven't even hit the off star break yet.
Speaker 7: We haven't even hit the trade deadline, yet we still
Speaker 7: got several months of baseball to go.
Speaker 4: We'll see how it plays out. But the way that
Speaker 4: they're looking at this season.
Speaker 7: They're going to be exactly where they are right now,
Speaker 7: right third place and not making the playoffs.
Speaker 1: I think they might end up in second. I think
Speaker 1: the Phillies win at all, and I think the Mets
Speaker 1: might fall off again. It'll be close.
Speaker 7: But yeah, the Braves the Mets met thing, so I
Speaker 7: mean that wouldn't be totally shocking, but being that they've
Speaker 7: basically since you know, the second month of the season
Speaker 7: have been been riding high there in first place.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to see it, but they are the Mets.
Speaker 4: But listen, they knocked us out of the playoffs last year.
Speaker 7: You know, they found the way into the playoffs after
Speaker 7: horrendous start last year. They didn't really lose too much
Speaker 7: of their team, so you still have a team that's
Speaker 7: intact that that that had ah, you know, NLCS bid
Speaker 7: late last year, regardless that they want it or not.
Speaker 4: So we'll see how it plays out.
Speaker 2: But you know, yeah, well hey and so Candy yet
Speaker 2: she mentioned it the last thing for my town, and
Speaker 2: we're going to transition here, and I think we're getting
Speaker 2: ready to sign off right after this, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 2: But yes, Candy, you mentioned the College World Series. You know,
Speaker 2: I told you the other day. Coastal Carolina they split
Speaker 2: away from USC back in the nineties. They used to
Speaker 2: be USC Coastal. Now they're at Coastal Carolina. Their mascot
Speaker 2: is also a fighting chicken, just like the Game Cocks,
Speaker 2: and I am.
Speaker 1: All bought in on Coastal Carolina.
Speaker 2: But that LSU Arkansas game last night, if you did
Speaker 2: not watch it, you missed possibly one of the best
Speaker 2: playoff baseball games of the year MLB college regardless in
Speaker 2: my opinion.
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean I heard about it, but I didn't
Speaker 3: see it.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Candy.
Speaker 2: So it was like three to one, and then it
Speaker 2: was like three to three, and then it was like
Speaker 2: four to three, and then it was like five to four,
Speaker 2: and then it was like five to five, and then
Speaker 2: it was like over like.
Speaker 1: That.
Speaker 2: It was the most back and forth. And this all
Speaker 2: happened after like the sixth inning. Like and the game Cocks,
Speaker 2: who won their.
Speaker 1: National championships.
Speaker 2: Decade ago, now even more twelve years ago, they did
Speaker 2: it the same way, just like the most clutch baseball
Speaker 2: the most like, okay, this is what you train for
Speaker 2: in practice situations, bases loaded one out, okay, like in
Speaker 2: filled in we're getting the double play at home to
Speaker 2: first things that weren't routine. And then, like I said,
Speaker 2: they just went back and forth. Arkansas and LSU did
Speaker 2: the game, Cocks did it back in their time.
Speaker 1: Coastal has coasted.
Speaker 2: So it'll be interesting to see how a team who
Speaker 2: has coasted through I mean they've won twenty six games
Speaker 2: in a row.
Speaker 3: That was that's crazy. That is that is I mean for.
Speaker 1: Any team, they haven't lost since April the twenty second.
Speaker 3: Wow, that is that's that's that's crazy. Good, Like I
Speaker 3: can't I don't even like I can't fathom winning that
Speaker 3: many in a row, like I've been on many different
Speaker 3: sports teams.
Speaker 2: But to do that, I'll ask you this, Can you
Speaker 2: remember what you did on April the twenty second? No,
Speaker 2: but that's what But guess what all those players get
Speaker 2: to say, we didn't lose a baseball game.
Speaker 1: I mean, at the end of the day, they know that, right.
Speaker 1: Is that not wild?
Speaker 3: That is that is crazy?
Speaker 2: And so yeah, Coastal Carolina LSU. Arkansas had the great game.
Speaker 2: I kind of was hoving LSU Arkansas would have to
Speaker 2: play one extra to give Coast Stole a slight advantage.
Speaker 2: But man, hey, what a great sport.
Speaker 3: Well how about how about Arkansas? He had They had
Speaker 3: the no hitter?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 3: The third was the third no hitter in College World Series?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yep. First one gauge would.
Speaker 2: Dude, I was tuned in and he lost a perfect
Speaker 2: game because he hit a dude on the top of
Speaker 2: the foot. Bro, I'm telling you, if I'm going for
Speaker 2: a no hitter and I hit somebody on the.
Speaker 1: Top, I was a picture, y'all.
Speaker 2: I Scott, I hear you, Scott, Scott.
Speaker 1: He was a catcher. I was a pitcher.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Yes, Scott, How I would have been mad
Speaker 2: if I hit a dude on the top of the
Speaker 2: foot to lose a perfect game?
Speaker 1: How mad at me? Would you have been if I
Speaker 1: lost you that perfect game as my catcher?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 2: But it's still a fantastic accomplishment. But then we also
Speaker 2: saw we see the agony of results, like the emotion
Speaker 2: of results, like the purity, but then we saw the
Speaker 2: agony of defeat. That left fielder from Arkansas missed the
Speaker 2: fly ball. The shortstop from Arkansas did not turn the
Speaker 2: double play.
Speaker 1: You have to know the situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah you do, J JD. Just so you know, Scott's
Speaker 3: been listening in. He says, you're doing a really good job.
Speaker 1: Just appreciate it. Hey, man, Hey listen, I've been reading
Speaker 1: your book.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you, he says, he's proud of you.
Speaker 4: I can't douplicate your access, but I'll make it smarter.
Speaker 1: Hey, that's all.
Speaker 2: That's all we can do, man, make each other smarter,
Speaker 2: help each other out. Be kind to one another, be blessed,
Speaker 2: not stressed. Just be kind to one another.
Speaker 4: Don't get be kind rewind.
Speaker 3: So I have a question for you guys.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 3: I will never so this was a quote from somebody.
Speaker 3: I will never understand how Cal Ripken played two thousand,
Speaker 3: six hundred and thirty two games in a row. That
Speaker 3: will forever be the most underrated stat ever in sports.
Speaker 3: Do you think that's true? Most underrated stat ever in sports?
Speaker 4: We were already me and Ben m already talking about
Speaker 4: it this week. But go ahead, what got.
Speaker 1: Most underrated stat in sports? That was a question? Correct?
Speaker 3: Yep, yep?
Speaker 2: I don't know that I could pick one like that
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. The one that I
Speaker 2: think I will go to, though, is the one stat
Speaker 2: that I don't think needs to be accounted for, and
Speaker 2: that is QB wins and losses. I I don't understand
Speaker 2: why we ever put quarterback.
Speaker 1: That's one of their statistics? Is that the amount of team?
Speaker 2: You know, I get it for pictures in baseball, I
Speaker 2: get that, but a quarterback isn't a picture of an
Speaker 2: NFL team. So as I sit here and try to
Speaker 2: talk myself through this, try to figure out the most
Speaker 2: underrated stat in sports, Candy, I might need your help
Speaker 2: to I think my friars might be a little low
Speaker 2: on temperature here.
Speaker 3: Help me out, Stephen, What do you think I mean?
Speaker 7: I mean, like I said, me and Bennett already kind
Speaker 7: touched on this, Yeah, because we were talking about Castianos's
Speaker 7: game streak ending, which I'm sure which is kind of
Speaker 7: fueled this conversation here. But that is a record that
Speaker 7: will not be broken anytime soon, not in this era,
Speaker 7: not in another era. To play that many consecutive games
Speaker 7: in this day and age, not an injury.
Speaker 4: Cal Ricken was.
Speaker 7: Not on a single solitary steroids list. Okay, so wrap
Speaker 7: your head around that long. So I make fun of
Speaker 7: Lebron all the time, basically saying that he's the Cal
Speaker 7: Ripkin of the NBA because of his longevity. Right, cal
Speaker 7: recy is not considered the best baseball player of all time,
Speaker 7: and that's why I specifically say that he is the
Speaker 7: Cal Ripken of of the NBA. Calverrickn You know, I
Speaker 7: think he barely had three thousand hits.
Speaker 2: Right right, Well, hey, and you helped me out. So, yes,
Speaker 2: the most underrated statistics you just said.
Speaker 1: Long longevity availability, Availability is the biggest ability.
Speaker 2: You gotta show up, you gotta be there. You can't
Speaker 2: be injured. And I get it. Players get criticized for
Speaker 2: being injured. Sometimes you can't help it. However, sometimes you can't.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna name any players off the top of
Speaker 2: my head.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. But if they had a
Speaker 1: better diet, a better workout.
Speaker 2: Regiment, a better this, a better that, their availability could
Speaker 2: have been better. And so, yes, longevity, like you mentioned, availability,
Speaker 2: underrated statistics, Candy or whoever, that's yeah, thank you, we're cooking.
Speaker 2: We're cooking again, We're good.
Speaker 4: No, but but listen, underrated stat a record that.
Speaker 7: No one's gonna sniff at any point in time in
Speaker 7: the next ten years. It's a ridiculous stat. Like the
Speaker 7: only other stat we talk about is you know how
Speaker 7: Lebron just passed Kareem in total points. That is one
Speaker 7: of those ridiculous stats. But Lebron has been playing for
Speaker 7: twenty years. Up until Lebron, no one has even gotten
Speaker 7: close to being able to play twenty seasons. So as
Speaker 7: much as I've ripped Lebron about X, Y and Z
Speaker 7: about other things about his game, that's one of the
Speaker 7: things that I give him credit for.
Speaker 4: That is why he is No matter how we feel
Speaker 4: about him.
Speaker 7: You know, his image, his brain, how he goes about things,
Speaker 7: how he plays the game, et cetera.
Speaker 4: He is without a top ten ten players all time.
Speaker 4: You can't argue that. You can't. You could tear him
Speaker 4: down by by other means.
Speaker 7: And you know, uh, his recent comments, well, he doesn't
Speaker 7: get the ring culture. That that that that is involved
Speaker 7: in the n b A Hello. Ring cultures in every
Speaker 7: sport doesn't matter if we're talking basketball, baseball, football, hockey,
Speaker 7: it's all about the ring. It's always has been always
Speaker 7: about the ring. So moving on from that, like like, listen,
Speaker 7: I don't know if there's an underrated stat but that
Speaker 7: that is one of the stats that I that I think, Uh,
Speaker 7: I mean, I I remember when Cal was getting there.
Speaker 7: That's one of one of my one of my favorite
Speaker 7: non Phillies memories of baseball is watching Cal Ripken do
Speaker 7: that streak.
Speaker 4: You know, it was a special thing. We're never gonna
Speaker 4: see anyone hit that. Uh.
Speaker 7: Yes, steroid errors over Wade Boggs used to call, used
Speaker 7: to call, uh, you know, that's how how these got
Speaker 7: would continue to keep themselves out available on the field
Speaker 7: and things of that nature. I kind of agree with
Speaker 7: him to extent, but you know, he likes to disclude
Speaker 7: players from that era because of that that stuff, that they're.
Speaker 4: Not Hall of famers anymore, et cetera.
Speaker 7: I don't necessarily agree with that because a lot of
Speaker 7: those guys were going to be Hall of famers regardless.
Speaker 4: I think the famous thing is that even if you
Speaker 4: take all seven.
Speaker 7: Of of you know, Barry Bonds's you know, you know,
Speaker 7: MVP type seasons, he still has over four hundred home runs.
Speaker 7: He still has over three hundred and fifty stolen bases
Speaker 7: and not a whole lot of.
Speaker 4: Guys have been able to do that. So I get
Speaker 4: where where some of this is coming from. But Kane,
Speaker 4: I love that one.
Speaker 7: You sure it's Rodman that that needs that record. I mean,
Speaker 7: I think you're missing a whole era before that. There
Speaker 7: was this team called the Detroit Pistons and they were
Speaker 7: they were the kings of the bad Boys. Bill am
Speaker 7: Beer was a feared man. Okay, I loved I loved
Speaker 7: the Worm, but the Worm was more was more remembered
Speaker 7: for his rebounding and at the end he was an
Speaker 7: enforcer for Michael Jordan and and other people. He wound
Speaker 7: up in San Antonio. Uh, I think at the beginning
Speaker 7: of the Duncan era too. So I mean, I don't
Speaker 7: think Roman has the record for that. You know, there's
Speaker 7: other people that you might throw in there. I know
Speaker 7: a lot of people like to throw rite our test
Speaker 7: name in there. I'm like, no, no, you all forget
Speaker 7: about the bad about the uh the bad boy.
Speaker 4: Pistons, but they're not bringing it back. But the w
Speaker 4: n b A is bringing it back. I gotta talk
Speaker 4: about Sophie cutting ambroal face.
Speaker 7: Her jersey is sold out people, You can't go buy
Speaker 7: it on fanatics dot com. If the w n B
Speaker 7: A is not the hottest basketball thing that's going on
Speaker 7: right now, and it's not just because of Caton Clark,
Speaker 7: all those girls was credit. Caitlin may be the face
Speaker 7: of it, but there's a bunch of girls, and yes,
Speaker 7: Angel Rees is a part of that.
Speaker 4: She is just trademarked the phrase me bamd.
Speaker 6: We can trade.
Speaker 7: She wants our angel continue to develop your game, Lady,
Speaker 7: continue it. We want you to beat the magic to
Speaker 7: the bird. We want you to do that. Help the
Speaker 7: w NBA grow. I was a staunch advocate for women's
Speaker 7: mixed martial arts ten years ago when it was starting
Speaker 7: to blow up.
Speaker 4: I will be a staunch advocate for the w NBA.
Speaker 7: Get out of the red, get into the black, start
Speaker 7: putting these things together. And yes, when when you're when
Speaker 7: the collective bargain agreement comes up, get better referees, because
Speaker 7: the referees are freaking terrible right now, absolutely terrible, but
Speaker 7: but the thing rible saying Sophie, Sophie should have been ejected.
Speaker 7: Do you realize Sophie is a is a taekwondo black belt.
Speaker 7: If she wanted to hurt that girl and put her
Speaker 7: in a bass spot. She would have she would have, Okay,
Speaker 7: So she took it very easy. Tod did it, did
Speaker 7: it in a professional way and may have not looked
Speaker 7: at it at the point in time. But guess what,
Speaker 7: no one's talking more about the w n b A
Speaker 7: than we ever, than we are than we are right now.
Speaker 7: And it's because of multiple different women. And I'm all
Speaker 7: for it. Oh, they still doing it.
Speaker 4: Indiana.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's final game seven.
Speaker 7: Yep, I'm all for the for the Indiana Pacers win.
Speaker 7: And listen, I love the Oklahoma City Thunder, but Indiana
Speaker 7: had the Pacers. Indiana is a basketball town. It will
Speaker 7: always be a basketball town. Let them win the NBA Finals.
Speaker 7: Let Tyrese halliber And become one of the new faces
Speaker 7: of the NBA. SGA should be another guy that should
Speaker 7: be considered another face of the NBA. Let's push out
Speaker 7: these old uh, these old guards and and uh you know,
Speaker 7: these guys that need their load management and stuff like that,
Speaker 7: and give us real NBA superstars again. I am so
Speaker 7: happy that we have an NBA Finals this year that
Speaker 7: does not include uh, you know, you know, Steph Curry.
Speaker 7: That does not include a Lebron James, that does not
Speaker 7: include a Jimmy Butler or things of that nature. And
Speaker 7: it's not a major city. It's not an LA team,
Speaker 7: it's not a New York team. It's two middle of
Speaker 7: the country teams. I want to know why the NBA
Speaker 7: was so successful. You know ten twenty years ago, you
Speaker 7: had your teams out in LA. You had your team
Speaker 7: teams on the East Coast. You know, with Boston and
Speaker 7: Chicago dead in the middle, unified the country as a
Speaker 7: basketball powerholl you need you need the Indiana Pacers, you
Speaker 7: need the Oklahoma City Thunder, you need the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Speaker 4: You need the middle of the country to.
Speaker 7: Have a big, good basketball team. This will bring basketball
Speaker 7: back to where it needs to be as one of
Speaker 7: the better sports, the better for sports in.
Speaker 4: The United States. I'm sorry, sorry, guys, No, no.
Speaker 2: No, listen, I'll segue it. Steven just cooked the NBA
Speaker 2: and what has been.
Speaker 1: They need to get back to the.
Speaker 2: The non mid major, the non major markets. You know
Speaker 2: what I mean, everybody knows what I mean. You gotta
Speaker 2: get back to the easy, pasy stuff. Defense wins championships.
Speaker 2: That is the old mantra that literally everybody has lived
Speaker 2: by for forever. We don't we don't want to see
Speaker 2: I mean we do. I can't say we don't want
Speaker 2: to see it. We want to see all this crazy
Speaker 2: offense and everything. But it's gotten out of control. There
Speaker 2: has to be a balance somewhere or another.
Speaker 1: But the Pacers, the Thunder, Game seven.
Speaker 2: Best two words in sports candy, Yeah, your show, you
Speaker 2: take it over.
Speaker 3: I agree, Game sevens. There's nothing like him and I
Speaker 3: want to go back to Canes. One of Kane's comments,
Speaker 3: does Rodman have the record for most fights in the court?
Speaker 3: That is a question you should really ask Scott. Scott
Speaker 3: actually covered and knows Rodman and covered the bad Boy era,
Speaker 3: so he actually has a piece of the floor from
Speaker 3: the Pistons championship game here at our house. So yeah,
Speaker 3: you've got to come on.
Speaker 1: And I've got his book. Yeah, I've got guys.
Speaker 2: I wonder if there's here, is there a content back
Speaker 2: here where I can look up and see if there's
Speaker 2: Rodman mentioned anywhere he is.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he did mention him in the book.
Speaker 1: I bet here's somewhere some stories.
Speaker 3: He's got some stories, so definitely.
Speaker 7: I don't read.
Speaker 1: I bet I'm over here reading.
Speaker 3: Oh guys, it's been entertaining tonight.
Speaker 1: And controversy.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's been a little bit of that too.
Speaker 3: So that's okay. That makes for good shows, right, So
Speaker 3: let's let's kind of tie it all. Let's tie it
Speaker 3: all in and let's let's tie it in a bow.
