Speaker 2 (00:19):
Louis, Missouri.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
As we're over four hundred cities around America that carries
this program. Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio and in some cities
ESPN Radio eight seven seven three DP shows. The phone
number Operator Tyler is sitting by taking your phone calls,
seating as the honors of coming up with the poll question.
Fritzy provides the humor today.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
I do yet, that's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
No pressure whatsoever. You're going to supply the humor today.
You got your bad news Bear's baseball shirt on today.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
You're ready to go in the mood.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Marvin's here, Seaton, Paula, yours truly the back room boys.
We've got Wembledon quarterfinals continuing, men and the women's, the
men's US Olympic team scrimmages in Vegas, and all we
can do is talk about a seventeen year old who's
headed to Duke Cooper Flag will have that for you.
Home Run Derby competitors were announced. This is the only
(01:14):
time out of the year that I see Pee Alonzo.
It feels like, now I know he plays for the Mets,
he's in a big market, but it feels like every
time when I'm watching Home Run Derby, I go, oh,
Pee Alonzo. That's right, he's still in Major League Baseball
and he may win it again. I don't watch him
any other nights, any other days, but it seems like
that brings out the best in Pie Alonzo. Who's going
(01:35):
to be my pick for Home Run Derby. I don't
even know who else is in there.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Do we take the field?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You can have the field for a pie to the
face for everybody I mean, and yes, I know everybody
keeps saying, you get your pie to the face.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Hey, when you're getting your pies of the.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Face Friday Friday, I will get four pies to the face.
Each Danette gets a pie, I will take the pie
to the face. I made a bet. I thought, Bronnie James,
you know all these NBA gms, you know they made
a mistake. They could have taken Ronny in the first round.
I try to tell him, but no, he's got to
go in the second round.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Here.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Yeah, would you rather win the home run Derby or
the slam dunk contest?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Or well you're a shooter, so yeah, three point.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Three point shooting? Definitely three point shooting over slam dunk?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Really?
Speaker 7 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, what about three point shooting or Homeme
run Derby? They're probably more similar.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well, it feels like we give more credit now, more validation,
more notoriety to the three point shooting contest than home
run Derby.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, I don't know if we home run Derby's kind
of pass a.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
We still love watching guys shoot the three or women
shoot the three and the clock is ticking, so there's
there's that element of not just standing there shooting. You
got to shoot and then you got to go through
all the racks. So I would say three point shooting
test probably is held in higher regard than home run
Derby and slam dunk.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
What about you? You want slam dunk, don't you? Well? Yes, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Mean I could shoot a three, I could hit a
home run, yeah, but I've dunked before. Yeah, see that's
why for you, it's like, yeah, this isn't fun.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah yeah, Marvin, what about you?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Slam dunk contest? We remember spud Web.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, but you're not spud Web. Like if you're five
to four, then then that's why we remember you. If
spud Web was six two, we wouldn't remember him, but.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Being six feet so I'm six feet tall, so.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You're like D Brown.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'd rather be D Brown.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Okay, all right, yes, I think you're right.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Maybe we should take the slam dunk contest out of
it and just do three pointer versus home run derby
because you know what if I could just when's how
many chances throughout the day do you get to go
hit a bunch of home runs? Almost never. I could
go to any park though, and just shoot the lights out.
That'd be pretty great, okay.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Or you could bring down a backboard or something, you know,
just stop by a playground. Kids are out there, you know,
seven year olds. Let's see, this is why for me,
dunking wins every single time. Anybody can hit a three pointer.
But you go to any park and you start dunking,
it's like, oh damn.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Yeah, especially looking like me, like six, you know five
eleven completely on athletic.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
What about you, Todd, seems like the three point contest
would be a bigger deal just when they're just blooping
it out to you. You pick the pitcher and they're just
kind of putting it in the exact spot that you've
asked them to put it in, and you're just swinging
your hardest.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I don't know, but as Seaton says, anybody can make
a three, but trying to hit a home run on
that kind of stage, that seems like a pretty big deal.
And you, being a baseball guy with your bad news bears,
I am.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
A big but when it comes to that, I just
think with the pressure on of the clock ticking, I
know your arms can get tired swinging for the fences
every five seconds, and you get like one or two
little breaks while the clock ticking. I'd be more impressed
with the spotlight on your popping a bunch of threes
and just swinging while someone's just blooping balls.

Stat of the Day is always brought to you by
Benani America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. PAULI,
(05:22):
you can do three point shooting or you can do
home run Derby.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
I think I'm going to go home run derby. I
like baseball a little more than basketball overall. If I'm
in the home run Derby, I'm probably a really good
MLB player. They don't really invite borderline players to be
in the home run Derby. Sometimes borderline players make the
slam dunk contest.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, I think they invite somebody who has some kind
of notoriety. Slam dunk contest has been won by some
pedestrians there.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, I mean mac McClung is not even in the
NBA and it gets invited.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So that's how desperate they are to get somebody with
any kind of name recognition. Hey, how about the short
white guy who's not even in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, yeah, you know what, We're going to create.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
A provision that allows him his special exemption the six
foot white guy gets into the slam dunk contest.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Yes see, yeah, but it's not like we're like, man,
but Bobby A. Bray who sure was you know what
I mean, like the great Bobby of Bray. You legacy
is the Home Run Derby. At least he was in
the league. We were just we led the segment with
being like, hey, Pete Alonzo is still playing, He's in
the Home Run Derby?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Is there a player comp for Pete Alonzo? Because he
has made three All Star teams, he was a Rookie
of the Year, that monster rookie year. Yeah, he's had
a few good seasons. He's not doesn't it for average?
He just never seems as good as he thinks he is.
Mets don't get a lot of national play because they
don't play in the postseason, so he's known for that one.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, he's known for saying let's f and go, you know,
yelling and screaming.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
And Nashally he gets seen every year in the Home
Run Derby.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, that's it. That's why.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I is it like mel Kiper with the draft.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I'm kind of like, oh, yeah, that's right, mel Kiper.
You know, Oh, Pete Alonzo I'm gonna hear from all
the baseball a purist Pete Alonzo is batting whatever he's batting.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I don't know he's hitting two forty.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
No one's going to break down your door with Well, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's a high batting average nowadays. Yeah, man, you're killing it.
You're bat in two forty. I looked at batting averages
the other day, and the number of guys who bat
two hundred or less but they play every day is alarming.
And it used to be like that was the Mendoza
Do we need to change the Mendoza line in Major
(07:35):
League Baseball? Under two hundred? Now it's like one eighty
is the new Mendoza line. So's sad, I know, but
that's what baseball is now.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Is hitting four hundred a season among the safest things
in sports. I have the safest records.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, that's not happening because nobody cares to bat four hundred,
Like it's not important to bat four hundred. When's the
last time you went, hey, that guy's hitting three twenty,
Like nobody.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, seed.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
And it's crazy too when you start thinking about how
there's probably how many hundred minor leaguers for every one
major league spot. Two hundred minor leaguers competing for one
spot in the major leagues. Yeah, and the batting average
that you're talking about is like, these dudes are theoretically
the best of that two hundred. They're the best at
(08:24):
batting two hundred, right, Yeah, Oh my gosh, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You look at Shoho Tani's numbers and his batting average
is up really high, and you're like, all right, I
like seeing like I like to see somebody who's got
a respectable batting average with the home runs of the
RBI your old school Yeah, I'm not asking too much.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
There's only one guy in baseball this year hitting over
three twenty five for the season, and usually there's a bunch.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Does he play for the Marlins for Cleveland Stephen Kwan? Okay,
he's left Yeah, he's in three fifty eight. That's pretty good.
That's left handed batter.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You proade that to like four twenty Yeah, man, I
get on that baduin.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's robust. That is that's ty cobbian, Ted Williams and
Zee and all right, so what's the pole question. Do
we have Seaton o'conna.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Well, we're gonna put up the home run derby or
three point contest, and we also have a random one
here from Paul. Would you rather attend for the week
The Olympics in Paris are the super Bowl in New Orleans?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So I have tickets, not just I get to go
to Paris or New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, okay, so I'm king to do the whole week. Okay,
I would go. I love New Orleans, but I would
go to Paris for the Olympics. Both have a French influence.
We both cities, We fok shams, very different food scenes.
Both great, Yes, both great food scenes, although in Paris
they do put a lot of the sauces on there,
(09:53):
a lot of creamy sauces.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Not big on that. New Orleans awesome, I would say Paris.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Both great cities.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They are, Yes, they are.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
I probably go Paris too.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Paris is great, Yeah it is. It is all right.
So eight seven to seven three DP show.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
If you want to dial us up, Salo, I'll be
more than happy to entertain you, or you could entertain
us as well. We'll talk a little bit more about
this select team that's facing the national team, the Olympic team,
and Cooper Flag is seventeen years of age. He has
been invited to play against the Olympic team, so he's seventeen.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
He's going to Duke.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He's out of Maine, but he's been playing down at
IMG Academy in Florida for the last couple of years.
He is going to be the number one player drafted
next year. They're already talking about the Wizards select Cooper Flag,
and if you watch the highlights, he is a very
advanced seventeen year old. We interviewed him a couple of
months ago, very confident and doesn't seem like he's phased
(10:52):
by any of this. Hey there's Lebron and Hey, I'm
going to shoot a three over Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This is where the.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
NBA misses out because they imagine Cooper Flag going into
the NBA.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
He would have been the number one pick this year.
Imagine him going into the NBA. Now now he's going
to go to Duke, so he'll be on national TV,
but he is going to be the player face that
you know, you have Danny Hurley as the coaching face,
and you're going to have Cooper Flag as the player
face of college basketball this upcoming season. And by all accounts,
(11:25):
he is worthy of this legitimate going against these guys,
and he had a day yesterday. But part of the
reason why there's a little bit more magic to it is, now,
let we can factor in that he is six ' eleven,
white guy out of Maine who's playing in Florida, who's
going to Duke. So those are novelties, not the white
guy going to Duke. But he's six eleven, white guy,
(11:48):
and he's the number one high school player in America,
and he's playing against lebron and Ad and all these
other great players, maybe the greatest Olympic team we've ever had.
And he's out there playing and more than holding his
own and he's going to go to Duke. But imagine
if he could go to the NBA now and just
(12:08):
then Draft night would have been a whole lot more interesting.
Then let's wait until the second night to see where
Bronnie goes. But Cooper flag would have been the number
one player selected in this year's draft.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Yes, Marvin, but this helps because there's a when Biama Field,
when by Yama Field. Yeah's next year's NBA draft, because now,
who's going to get Cooper Flagg?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Because he's going to be the number one pick.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
And this helps college basketball because you have a guy
that's coming in right away and there's automatic star power,
and there's somebody you got to watch in November.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, there's a zion feel to him.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But the fact that you couldn't watch this game yesterday,
this scrimmage that it was, it was a social media phenomenon.
So Marv goes, hey, your boy's tearing it up, and
I go who. He goes flag and I go, oh,
I said, where can I watch it? He said, I'm
on streaming? What were you streaming? The fourth quarter?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
It was on YouTube, anas on somebody's ig live. Okay,
you got to be real pathetic, and that's what I
was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Is that a violation though? Did you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
All right, So Marv's watching and he said, you know,
he's killing it here, and then all of a sudden,
the highlights. I saw the highlights, and he had himself
a day.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't know how he was the entire game. I
just know that he had four moments where you go.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
All right, damn all right, shooting the three, all right,
a dunk there, okay, going coast to coast and that's
how these things happen. It's like Paul's schemes with the Pirates,
like you can't script that, you can't go that guy
is going to be a star. You know, he had
the elements there LSU National Championship, going to Omaham mustache,
(13:46):
throwing a hundred, dating, you know, a beautiful you know,
gymnasts there at LSU like he had it. Everything's there,
going to the Pirates number one pick. You don't stay
in the miners very long. So Cooper Flag is going
to basket ball's miners here for a year and then
he'll be in the NBA the following year. So you
have these moments where you know, these things are created.
(14:08):
You can try to hype somebody, try to create some
It's like when Lebron was sixteen playing in Chicago and
he was tearing up NBA veterans and all of a
sudden word gets out the kid from Akron is tearing
everybody up. So now all of a sudden, the hype builds. Now.
Cooper Flag is not asking for this, but he can
be the benefactor. But he can also be the recipient
(14:30):
of a lot of people saying, wait, this guy's supposed
to be good, because he's going to have those moments
where you go and then another over hyped guy from Duke,
another guy who is really good in college and not
going to be really good in the pros. It's probably
going to happen this year. But he is by all
accounts legit. And you know, we have some people who
(14:52):
were there watching the scrimmage yesterday, so we'll talk to
them a little bit later on. All right, we'll take
a break, we'll settle on our poll question. Phone calls
are always welcome eight seven, seven to three DP show
just getting started on this Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Glad to have you on board.
Speaker 4 (15:04):

Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
As everybody knows, we're the hosts of the award winning
Polly and Toni Foosco show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated, what what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Anyway, just listening to the Paully and Toni Fusco Show
on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Yeing.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think we settled on a poll question today, at
least the first would you rather win home run derby
or the three point contest? I mean, if you want
to put in slam dunk, because I'm going to guess
that what ninety five percent of Americans have never dunked before?
Is it higher than that? What is the percentage of
people who haven't dunked in America? Ninety eight percent?
Speaker 6 (16:22):
It's got to be high.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ninety eight percent. Yeah. What's it like to feel like
the ninety eight percent.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Be a ninety eight percenter?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, I'd be a two percenter, although I did think
I was a whole lot better than I was the
first time I dunked.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
And then you don't get to dunk in a game
Like It's not like they go, Hey, clear out of
the way. Can I go in there and dunk? It's
doesn't matter, Marvin, are you in a Are you a
two percenter?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
So sorry, Yeah, just a calm in basketball of.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
All, you're right. Second of all, it was a nerve ball,
and you know the easiest way to donkey is.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
On the side.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
So no, technically I have not the answered it was no.
That was that was a todd like answer. Essentially, that's no,
It's no, okay, that's all I asked. It's a yes
or no question. Oh, it's so nice to be at
eight seven, seven to three d P Show Email addressed
TPA Danpatrick dot com, Twitter.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Handle at GP show. Oh my gosh, we've got an
IT team report.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, we go to the news for an IT team investigation.
The motto of our news team is, we don't break news,
we sprain it. Let's go to the new room.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Poe, the and the I team got a little inkling
of a report last night, and it was confirmed just
moments ago. If you noticed lately, we about a month ago,
we started talking about wiffleball. What a great game it was. Yeah,
we bust out the whiffleball bats and balls and a
lot of the back room guys and Seat and Fritzi.
Everyone's been playing wiffleball back and it's almost become like
a daily occurrence. It's really fun out back. Everyone's having
(18:02):
a good morale boost. And I would say that m
VP of month one of whiffleball was clearly seating back
me up. Fritzy was the breakout star, the Pete Alonzo
of our while launch just taking things star.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I think it's what is it, TODDI O Todi. Yes,
he took it very seriously. He was like out there
like legit, it was balling.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Yes, he was.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yesterday I asked picture de Ray and back. I go,
what's going on you guys playing today? He goes, now,
we're not playing? Like, how come? He goes, Todd's injured?
And I thought he was kidding, you know. I thought
Todd just you know, went home. And then moments ago
I heard from the back row that Todd is injured
and cannot play wiffle ball anymore. Question mark Todd, not anymore.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
I have tendon itis in what feels like ten ightis
in the middle of my right arm from it's winging
that light. That too odd and too aggressively after not
making that kind of motion whatever. And now it's just
for the last couple of weeks, I have this lingering
tightness in the middle of my been the bend of
my right arm, and I don't want to make it
any worse.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I'm trying to give it some time to heal.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
Okay, there's also like eleven twelve of us on the staff,
so I would hate to think that a two on
two game with me not being able to play means
that whiffleball.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's been two weeks. It's been two weeks.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I know should be concerned.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
I don't know, maybe I need surgery on my arm
or something like that that it's still a you know what,
Let's do the end of whiffleball.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
If I can't participate for a little while.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Let's do the surgery here. Okay, let's do it live
on the show.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I've tried icy hot heating padis or something's not right now.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I haven't gone for rexfet Ye.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
See, the story really is is not that whiffleball is
not over because Todd's not playing. Okay, not that important,
but I chose to. I chose Todd as my teammate.
They even wanted to do a draft, and I was like,
I don't want a draft. I want Todd as my teammate.
I want Todd to play. Todd was the breakout star.
Todd was like the whole fun of it for well,
(19:52):
certainly for me, I'll still play with these guys because
it's fun, I guess. But Todd being the guy, he
was like, oh yeah, back row guy, now we can
do it on the air. It's I you know, when
the Sixers were getting Paul George, it was like, why
would you get a guy with injury concerns? Or why
would you why would you draft somebody with injury concerns?
Why would you trade for a guy like I don't know,
(20:12):
the dude can't stay healthy. I have to be honest
with you. Despite Todd's track record of injury conftness, medical history,
and you know what, I underappreciated just how soft he
really is in that swinging a whiffleball bat and throwing
a whiffle ball would put him out two weeks later.
Like Ben Simmons, Yes, Ben Simmons, Like why would you
(20:35):
draft Ben Simmons? Is there a lot of upside?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I don't know?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Injury concerns I don't know. I really did not think
that after a week of vacation, Todd's arm would still
hurt so bad that he can't play whiffle ball.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Soft soft soft soft soft soft.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I don't. I'm shocked at that.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I am I not.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Yes, Kenny, middle age plus man walk into a doctor's
office and say I hurt my arm playing whiffle ball.
Would you look at it?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I wouldn't say how I heard it.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
You have to be honest with you. You're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
No Todd is never No one's honest with their doctor. Man.
When your doctor says do you drink? Yeah, but you know,
like one drink a day.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
The origin of the injury is like step one with
a doctor. They didn't know how you are.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
All he has to say is I've been getting more
exercise and I think I hurt my elbow. That so, yeah,
you don't don't bring wiffleball into it exercises a lie.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, all right, Well, thoughts and prayers for you to appreciate.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I'm not done forever, but for now I think it
needs to rest because when I try to lock my
right arm and do like the swinging motion, it feels
very tight, and it seems silly to aggravate that until
it feels better.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I'm glad you're don't okay, all right, hanging there, Okay,
we're un pulling for you. You're gonna be a make
a wish kid, you know?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And and what's you know what? What's wrong with you?
I hurt myself playing wiffleball?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
What if the word the.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Crink the crook of your arm, where the bend is,
there's like a word for that. I'm not sure what
that is. That's that's exactly where it is in the
middle there the crease is there?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
A softer injury and getting injured playing wiffleball.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Chris Connelly is going to be here, oh later on
film a piece with Todd, maybe Tom Tom Rinaldi will
be here, probably do a nice story on Todd. There'll
be a piano playing. It'll be emotional, it'll be it'll
be moving people reminding us. He'll have to get Toddy
(22:36):
John surgery.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's good and gives I'm going to give the audience
a bluepaw now, Aaron, Yeah, thank you, Eric for me.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, come on, not funny, no, no, And now you're laughing.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm trying to make light of a very ridiculous situation.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That nobody can play wiffleball. And just because I'm not laying,
I didn't know that. It's all about content. Thank you,
thank you God. I hurt plan No, no, all right, AnyWho?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So we have our hour, one pole question and phone
calls if you'd like to join the conversation today. The
elements to becoming a breakout star. It's interesting how you know,
you aggregate a story so people will pick up a story.
Websites pick up a story depending on how many people
are clicking on that story. You know, it's not news judgment.
(23:37):
They're looking to get clicked. So all of a sudden,
seventeen year old kid dominates against the Olympic team. There's
video of him. Six to eleven, white guy who's from Maine.
He is from Maine, but he plays in Florida for
one of the best high school teams in America. But
six to eleven white guy from Maine is dominating the Olympians.
(23:58):
Everybody starts clicking on that. That's how you create something
a breakout star because a lot of people, I mean
this is in Europe. The Daily Mail, Associated Press, the
New York Times. They're all picking up this story. But
they're picking up this story because you're picking up this story.
You're reading this story, you're curious about this.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That's all this is. I mean, that's what news is now.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's give me the most popular stories, not the most
important stories, the most popular stories. I mean, that's why
Bronnie James was such a big deal because it's Bronnie
James and Lebron James. Now you have Lebron James going
against Cooper Flag and the Olympians, and now you can
incorporate everything there. And that's how that's how this happened
(24:44):
yesterday it was can't watch it. You can see clips
and then you can judge for yourself. But hitting Jumpers
going against Anthony Davis, I guess holding his own by
all accounts, and the fact that he's seven, he's going
to Duke. I wonder what his nil is now after
(25:04):
something like this, and I don't know, you know, if
his parents have money, I don't know how important that is.
I don't know what he's getting at Duke with nil,
but with something like this, because Zion Williamson wasn't getting nil,
he might have been getting something else.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
When he went to Duke.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But here's Cooper Flag who will be the number one
player in college basketball.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Does his price go up?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Does he get compensated in accordance to being this popular,
or does he say, look, I'm going to Duke, I'll
make my money when I go to the NBA. Imagine
if you're seventeen and you were able to go to
the NBA. So let's say you do your rookie deal.
The number of contracts that Cooper Flag. Let's say he
(25:49):
is a legitimate star, So how many contracts is he
going to have in his NBA lifetime? So if he goes,
if he's team and he was going into the NBA now,
so now he would have three years and then he
would get a crazy amount of money, and then five
(26:10):
years from now or four years from now, a crazier
amount of money, and then four or five years from
now a crazier crazier amount of money. I mean, you're
looking at these guys now at a half a billion
dollars a year, they're right in their career half a
billion dollars at least with just the money you're going
(26:30):
to make from the NBA. And that's not far fetched
because I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. I
had an agent say, Shay Gilgis, Alexander in a couple
of years will be the highest paid player in the NBA,
making eighty one million dollars a year. So the timing
of your contract and his a he's going to make
eighty one million dollars a year, So it's not far
(26:52):
fetched to get to one hundred million dollars in the
next ten years. It feels like for a player a million,
you play five years, got a half a big dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I don't know how it's sustainable, but it's like I
don't even I don't even blink when I see these
contracts for NBA players anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Oh can I play?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Paul George Paul George Playoff pe podcast. Pig was talking
about his negotiations with the Clippers, and when you don't
say the word million or millions, like you know that,
it's just like, you know, thirty, I don't know forty
five for one fifty, we're not even saying million. Here
(27:41):
is Paul George on his podcast.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
So the first initial deal was like two years sixty
so I'm like, whoa, hey, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Bro, that's great. That's crazy crazy.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
So I'm like, wow, now they now they bring it
to three years one point fifty, all right, that's cool.
It sucks that it had to get to this point
like that. They couldn't we couldn't get this figured out
a lot sooner. But now we at the end of
the year three years one fifty. So I'm like, all right, like,
now we're in We're in the ballpark, you know what
I mean. Now we can have conversation here. I presented
(28:17):
the three one fifty no trade because in the meaning,
they're like, you know, we want you here long term,
we want to you know, when you're retired, we want
you to be a Clippers for a lifetime, like all
of this stuff. So I'm like, cool, give me the
three years one fifty no trade. Then like no trade clause.
Then I'm now like I'm taking less, but least I
know I'm here, like I'm committed to y'all.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Like they didn't want to hear the no trade.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
So then now I'm like, all right, well, then it
only makes sense for me to do four years to twelve, right, Like,
at least pay me my money if y'all gonna trade me,
then y'all gonna trade me. But at least, like now
I'm not in a situation where I could have got
more had I just gone to free agency, then take
this deal and y'all just shit me wherever I want.
(29:01):
And now I'm on this deal that I didn't want.
So they didn't want to do that. So now I
was like, now like, now I'm I'm open to entertaining.
What's what's out there? Oh that's great.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Two for sixty nah nah no, no, which I mean
he was so right though, jure. He was said to me,
it sounds crazy. Two years for sixty. They're like, what
that's insulting?
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Really?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Oh my god, But he was right.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
If he got four years to twelve, that's.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, yes, but he was right though. Everything he said
was right. It's not based in reality, our reality, but
in their reality.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
It is because even his buddies that he's sitting with,
I don't know who, was like, man, that's crazy, like
two for.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Sixty nah nah no, Holy smokes.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Three for one fifty yeah, okay, it's still less. No trade, Yeah,
you're welcome. I'm taking a discount.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, no trade.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Wow, how do you how does Kawhi Leonard feel today.
I was just curious that Paul George is gone, Like,
what do you have James Harden taking more shots? Exactly like,
And I don't know if Kawhi Leonard if it matters
to him. I don't know if his if his legacy matters,
I don't I don't know if he cares about any
(30:23):
of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And he doesn't do interviews.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I mean, he's been an incredibly great player at times,
but what's his legacy going to be?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Load management?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yes, he is the face of load management and that
you know the title he won in Toronto. You know
they'll have a statue of him now, isn't a statue
of him sitting or is it?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
That's wrong.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
He's got.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Street clothes there.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
You can sit on his lap. Hey, kids, go sit
AT's lap. Don't don't hurt him.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
But like the Clippers, I think they thought they had something.
They were the odds for them to win the title
this year were what top five and they were trying
to make all of this work with all of these stars,
and then.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
What do you have?
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Yeahmar La, just be grateful it's not the Lakers, because
if it was the Lakers. This would have been crazy.
We don't care about the Clippers. They did the exact
same thing. I always say this, the Lakers and the
Clippers did the exact same thing the exact same year.
They got a big time star and they traded the
farm for a second star, and the Clippers did nothing. Yeah,
so they traded shay Gyodis Alexander. People forget he was
(31:36):
in that trade.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yes, yes, it was one of those throw ins.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
All the guy that we can't pronounce his name, and
he's there and all right, going to OKC.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yeah, Paul I was looking at Paul George like he
came out of college. You know what, was he a
middle first round pick?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Tenth pick?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Okay, so you make really good dough as a tenth pick.
And he was pre anil era, so theoretically he wasn't
making anything in college. So he goes from making zero
to two point five million dollars for four years each year.
That's great, you must feel like you're set for life.
Then his next contract he averages eighteen million a year
for the next four years. Then the next contract averages
(32:12):
thirty two million a year, and this one is now
at forty six million. It's like staggering levels every three
or four years, jump ups. He probably can't remember making
two point five.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Nave scraping bond.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yeah, that's like I mean, is that even the interest
that he would be making.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I mean, yeah, But we're gonna get to the point
and look, I don't begrudge anybody.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Get whatever you can get.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Get it.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It could be Pat McAfee to Steven A to Shay
Gilgess Alexander get it because the person who's employing you
is certainly getting it. And then some because they wouldn't
be able to, you know, dole out these dollars if
they weren't getting a whole lot more money.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
They get to hire Justin Bieber to come to their wedding,
and then we'll talk about that Justin Bieber for ten
million dollars. It's not even the wedding reception that he
performed in India or India. We'll talk about that. Play

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Yeah, we got up there right now. Would you rather
win the home run derby or the three point contest?
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Home run derby?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Eighty percent of the b Okay, all right, chicks dig
the long ball. I think that's because people are like,
I could hit a three, but you.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Know what, chicks might dig the long ball when I'm
shooting the three. I mean true baseball with the long
ball me shooting logo threes.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yes, Tom.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
It seems to me more often than not if you're
popping threes that you're considered a really good or a
great shooter. I'm not convinced it works the other way,
where if someone's you know, just pitching slow bloops to
you and you're Chris, you're hitting the ball over the
place that you would be considered some great home run hitter.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Now you do have to supply all of the power
just so you know, if somebody's throwing one hundred, that
helps you hit the ball further. But if I'm throwing
fifty five or sixty, the hitter has to supply all
the power there.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Yeah, but I've got to believe the average baseball player
or above average base player with any kind of strength
can muster up enough strength to hit it over.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
The sambas with soil.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
But can you hit like twenty five? Can you do
it again in another round and then another round? I mean,
more people can hit a three than can hit a bomb.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yes, Paul Fritzy's making hitting a home run in a
major league ballpark with BP sound kind of easy.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Wait keeps throwing that all You're just blooping it up there,
You're throwing it you know fifty miles an hour.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
You guys played baseball before. I didn't. But if you
guys went in and had like an hour to get ready. Now,
someone threw light BP two, could you connect with one
and park it?
Speaker 7 (36:03):
No?
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Okay, no, that's why I thought I wasn't sure.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Not now. But what if you were a major league
baseball player?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yes, most players could probably hit a home run?
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yes, probably several.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, can you hit fifteen?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Then that's how those?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Can you hit? Can you hit fifteen threes in a
span of whatever they give you two minutes? Can you
do that?
Speaker 7 (36:26):
You could?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But you can hit a three? No, you can't.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
You wouldn't be able to get through you would even
get to half the rack. You wouldn't even get through it.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (36:35):
I think it's much more impressive to hit a lot
of threes over a short period of time than it's
just swinging hard.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
And hitting well.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I think hitting a home run is more impressive than
hitting a three. Absolutely, And then those.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Circumstances are an actual game. I'm talking about it, And now.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I'm talking about home run derby.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
It's a three point shooting contest, and home run derby
I'm not talking about a game, talking about practice.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yes, And I think part of like the fun of
the poll question is that you're not a professional in
either of those sports.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, but Todd can't take things just what's in front
of him. It always has to be you just take
it to a different level and you interpret things.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And that's something with this. It just meant to be fun.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Okay, can we try.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Remember you're the Minister of humor.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Minister of humor.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
I think he started the show off today with that's
responsibility was fun.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yes, and you failed miserably.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
I guess I'm overanalyzing you are, but you do this
all the time. I think I would just give it
too much.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Gets a run playing wiffle ball. I do have a
right armentry Kyle and Maine. Hi, Kyle, Hey, Bud.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
Oh Man.
Speaker 12 (37:48):
I've thought of a call for a long time listen
you for over ten years, but I can't have to
call today with Todd. About a week ago, I ate
two bags of sunflower seeds on that the stomach that's
actuated thing called the bezor and my stomach where I uh,
I could have passed it. Next thing, I'm in urgent
kid and then in the ear, I got two male
doctors Manuel dispacked it. Then I got under surgery. I
(38:11):
got this taken out. I've been pooping hot lava and
sets some hair to there, Todd and I will play
woofleball right now. You're letting you seem down. This is
this is an embarrassment. Your elbow hurts from swinging a bat.
You have no idea what real pain is?
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Bud Well, No, no, no, Todd does no real pain.
He's gone through real pain. This isn't real pain. And
and Kyle, sorry for your your pain there. Good luck
with that, although that's kind of tough. How did you
get sick? Sunflower seeds on an empty stomach? That's up
there kind of with wiffle ball, I mean it is, Kyle.
(38:46):
I gotta admit you're kind of soft there. You go
in and then you're in the ear.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
What's wrong with him? Sunflower seeds? All right, let's operate.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Clear losing him.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
We didn't need that little TMR there.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Okay, Chemo in Virginia beaches back, Hi, Kemo, Danny, anybody.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
You're killing me?
Speaker 7 (39:11):
Of course, I'll just get the pole question scud up immediately.
I can hit dingers Danny all day. I'm a shooter. Shooter,
I got a threes, but I can't dunk. Danny Marvin
hit the dail on the head right, spud Web. I
saw it as it happened. Incredible. How how tall spud web?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Five four five five five six? Yeah, but that's that's
the anomaly.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
If you said Muggsy Bogues dunked, then I'd go, all right,
that's pretty incredible.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Most of the guys who were dunking are not five
seven spud Web. That's why he won. D Brown won
because he was what blindfolded or put his you know,
arm over his eyes as if he couldn't see the
basket set. Sabalis did the blindfold Oh, blindfeld Okay, d Brown.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Did the one arm over peaking.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Uh, let's see trip in Vegas, my trip?
Speaker 13 (40:13):
What's on your mind? Good morning, dB, good morning, Good morning.
I wanted to add a good morning, I don't wanted
to add an addendum to the pole question. And then
I had a new pole question. I would say, how
about a hole in one? So I add that to it,
and then the next pole question I would add, this
is more likely to happen again. Fritzy hurt playing whistleball,
(40:36):
taking a flight through Florida from Connecticut to Las Vegas,
or following in a hotel.
Speaker 6 (40:40):
Room all happened, Oh my god, the tragic accident in
the Vegas hotel.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
You hit your You had an abrasion.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
How was bad?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
You had an abrasion, Todd.
Speaker 8 (40:55):
It may have been an abrasion, but for someone my
size to end up up in the air in the dark,
one thirty two o'clock in.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
The morning, I don't think you could have gotten up
in there.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I think I was up there.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
And then, of course you took the short cut from
New York to Florida and then to Vegas.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
I figured it all out.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
It was just, you know, that's how most people do it.

Home Run Derby competitors were announced. This is the only
(01:14):
time out of the year that I see Pee Alonzo.
It feels like, now I know he plays for the Mets,
he's in a big market, but it feels like every
time when I'm watching Home Run Derby, I go, oh,
Pee Alonzo. That's right, he's still in Major League Baseball
and he may win it again. I don't watch him
any other nights, any other days, but it seems like
that brings out the best in Pie Alonzo. Who's going
(01:35):
to be my pick for Home Run Derby. I don't
even know who else is in there.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Do we take the field?
Speaker 3 (01:40):
You can have the field for a pie to the
face for everybody I mean, and yes, I know everybody
keeps saying, you get your pie to the face.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Hey, when you're getting your pies of the.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Face Friday Friday, I will get four pies to the face.
Each Danette gets a pie, I will take the pie
to the face. I made a bet. I thought, Bronnie James,
you know all these NBA gms, you know they made
a mistake. They could have taken Ronny in the first round.
I try to tell him, but no, he's got to
go in the second round.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Here.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Yeah, would you rather win the home run Derby or
the slam dunk contest?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Or well you're a shooter, so yeah, three point.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Three point shooting? Definitely three point shooting over slam dunk?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Really?
Speaker 7 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Yeah, yeah, Okay, what about three point shooting or Homeme
run Derby? They're probably more similar.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Well, it feels like we give more credit now, more validation,
more notoriety to the three point shooting contest than home
run Derby.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, I don't know if we home run Derby's kind
of pass a.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
We still love watching guys shoot the three or women
shoot the three and the clock is ticking, so there's
there's that element of not just standing there shooting. You
got to shoot and then you got to go through
all the racks. So I would say three point shooting
test probably is held in higher regard than home run
Derby and slam dunk.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
What about you? You want slam dunk, don't you? Well? Yes, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (03:11):
Mean I could shoot a three, I could hit a
home run, yeah, but I've dunked before. Yeah, see that's
why for you, it's like, yeah, this isn't fun.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah yeah, Marvin, what about you?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Slam dunk contest? We remember spud Web.
Speaker 3 (03:27):
Yeah, but you're not spud Web. Like if you're five
to four, then then that's why we remember you. If
spud Web was six two, we wouldn't remember him, but.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Being six feet so I'm six feet tall, so.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
You're like D Brown.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I'd rather be D Brown.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Okay, all right, yes, I think you're right.
Speaker 6 (03:43):
Maybe we should take the slam dunk contest out of
it and just do three pointer versus home run derby
because you know what if I could just when's how
many chances throughout the day do you get to go
hit a bunch of home runs? Almost never. I could
go to any park though, and just shoot the lights out.
That'd be pretty great, okay.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Or you could bring down a backboard or something, you know,
just stop by a playground. Kids are out there, you know,
seven year olds. Let's see, this is why for me,
dunking wins every single time. Anybody can hit a three pointer.
But you go to any park and you start dunking,
it's like, oh damn.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
Yeah, especially looking like me, like six, you know five
eleven completely on athletic.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
What about you, Todd, seems like the three point contest
would be a bigger deal just when they're just blooping
it out to you. You pick the pitcher and they're just
kind of putting it in the exact spot that you've
asked them to put it in, and you're just swinging
your hardest.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
I don't know, but as Seaton says, anybody can make
a three, but trying to hit a home run on
that kind of stage, that seems like a pretty big deal.
And you, being a baseball guy with your bad news bears,
I am.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
A big but when it comes to that, I just
think with the pressure on of the clock ticking, I
know your arms can get tired swinging for the fences
every five seconds, and you get like one or two
little breaks while the clock ticking. I'd be more impressed
with the spotlight on your popping a bunch of threes
and just swinging while someone's just blooping balls.

(05:22):
you can do three point shooting or you can do
home run Derby.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
I think I'm going to go home run derby. I
like baseball a little more than basketball overall. If I'm
in the home run Derby, I'm probably a really good
MLB player. They don't really invite borderline players to be
in the home run Derby. Sometimes borderline players make the
slam dunk contest.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Well, I think they invite somebody who has some kind
of notoriety. Slam dunk contest has been won by some
pedestrians there.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Yeah, I mean mac McClung is not even in the
NBA and it gets invited.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So that's how desperate they are to get somebody with
any kind of name recognition. Hey, how about the short
white guy who's not even in the NBA.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Well, yeah, you know what, We're going to create.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
A provision that allows him his special exemption the six
foot white guy gets into the slam dunk contest.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
Yes see, yeah, but it's not like we're like, man,
but Bobby A. Bray who sure was you know what
I mean, like the great Bobby of Bray. You legacy
is the Home Run Derby. At least he was in
the league. We were just we led the segment with
being like, hey, Pete Alonzo is still playing, He's in
the Home Run Derby?
Speaker 5 (06:31):
Is there a player comp for Pete Alonzo? Because he
has made three All Star teams, he was a Rookie
of the Year, that monster rookie year. Yeah, he's had
a few good seasons. He's not doesn't it for average?
He just never seems as good as he thinks he is.
Mets don't get a lot of national play because they
don't play in the postseason, so he's known for that one.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, he's known for saying let's f and go, you know,
yelling and screaming.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
And Nashally he gets seen every year in the Home
Run Derby.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, that's it. That's why.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
I is it like mel Kiper with the draft.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I'm kind of like, oh, yeah, that's right, mel Kiper.
You know, Oh, Pete Alonzo I'm gonna hear from all
the baseball a purist Pete Alonzo is batting whatever he's batting.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
I don't know he's hitting two forty.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
No one's going to break down your door with Well, that's.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
That's a high batting average nowadays. Yeah, man, you're killing it.
You're bat in two forty. I looked at batting averages
the other day, and the number of guys who bat
two hundred or less but they play every day is alarming.
And it used to be like that was the Mendoza
Do we need to change the Mendoza line in Major
(07:35):
League Baseball? Under two hundred? Now it's like one eighty
is the new Mendoza line. So's sad, I know, but
that's what baseball is now.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Is hitting four hundred a season among the safest things
in sports. I have the safest records.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Yeah, that's not happening because nobody cares to bat four hundred,
Like it's not important to bat four hundred. When's the
last time you went, hey, that guy's hitting three twenty,
Like nobody.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Yeah, seed.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
And it's crazy too when you start thinking about how
there's probably how many hundred minor leaguers for every one
major league spot. Two hundred minor leaguers competing for one
spot in the major leagues. Yeah, and the batting average
that you're talking about is like, these dudes are theoretically
the best of that two hundred. They're the best at
(08:24):
batting two hundred, right, Yeah, Oh my gosh, this is crazy.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
That's the problem.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
You look at Shoho Tani's numbers and his batting average
is up really high, and you're like, all right, I
like seeing like I like to see somebody who's got
a respectable batting average with the home runs of the
RBI your old school Yeah, I'm not asking too much.
Speaker 5 (08:43):
There's only one guy in baseball this year hitting over
three twenty five for the season, and usually there's a bunch.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Does he play for the Marlins for Cleveland Stephen Kwan? Okay,
he's left Yeah, he's in three fifty eight. That's pretty good.
That's left handed batter.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
You proade that to like four twenty Yeah, man, I
get on that baduin.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's robust. That is that's ty cobbian, Ted Williams and
Zee and all right, so what's the pole question. Do
we have Seaton o'conna.
Speaker 6 (09:15):
Well, we're gonna put up the home run derby or
three point contest, and we also have a random one
here from Paul. Would you rather attend for the week
The Olympics in Paris are the super Bowl in New Orleans?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
So I have tickets, not just I get to go
to Paris or New Orleans.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, okay, so I'm king to do the whole week. Okay,
I would go. I love New Orleans, but I would
go to Paris for the Olympics. Both have a French influence.
We both cities, We fok shams, very different food scenes.
Both great, Yes, both great food scenes, although in Paris
they do put a lot of the sauces on there,
(09:53):
a lot of creamy sauces.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Not big on that. New Orleans awesome, I would say Paris.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
Both great cities.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
They are, Yes, they are.
Speaker 6 (10:01):
I probably go Paris too.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Paris is great, Yeah it is. It is all right.
So eight seven to seven three DP show.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
If you want to dial us up, Salo, I'll be
more than happy to entertain you, or you could entertain
us as well. We'll talk a little bit more about
this select team that's facing the national team, the Olympic team,
and Cooper Flag is seventeen years of age. He has
been invited to play against the Olympic team, so he's seventeen.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
He's going to Duke.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
He's out of Maine, but he's been playing down at
IMG Academy in Florida for the last couple of years.
He is going to be the number one player drafted
next year. They're already talking about the Wizards select Cooper Flag,
and if you watch the highlights, he is a very
advanced seventeen year old. We interviewed him a couple of
months ago, very confident and doesn't seem like he's phased
(10:52):
by any of this. Hey there's Lebron and Hey, I'm
going to shoot a three over Anthony Davis.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
This is where the.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
NBA misses out because they imagine Cooper Flag going into
the NBA.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
He would have been the number one pick this year.
Imagine him going into the NBA. Now now he's going
to go to Duke, so he'll be on national TV,
but he is going to be the player face that
you know, you have Danny Hurley as the coaching face,
and you're going to have Cooper Flag as the player
face of college basketball this upcoming season. And by all accounts,
(11:25):
he is worthy of this legitimate going against these guys,
and he had a day yesterday. But part of the
reason why there's a little bit more magic to it is, now,
let we can factor in that he is six ' eleven,
white guy out of Maine who's playing in Florida, who's
going to Duke. So those are novelties, not the white
guy going to Duke. But he's six eleven, white guy,
(11:48):
and he's the number one high school player in America,
and he's playing against lebron and Ad and all these
other great players, maybe the greatest Olympic team we've ever had.
And he's out there playing and more than holding his
own and he's going to go to Duke. But imagine
if he could go to the NBA now and just
(12:08):
then Draft night would have been a whole lot more interesting.
Then let's wait until the second night to see where
Bronnie goes. But Cooper flag would have been the number
one player selected in this year's draft.
Speaker 9 (12:19):
Yes, Marvin, but this helps because there's a when Biama Field,
when by Yama Field. Yeah's next year's NBA draft, because now,
who's going to get Cooper Flagg?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Because he's going to be the number one pick.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
And this helps college basketball because you have a guy
that's coming in right away and there's automatic star power,
and there's somebody you got to watch in November.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, there's a zion feel to him.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
But the fact that you couldn't watch this game yesterday,
this scrimmage that it was, it was a social media phenomenon.
So Marv goes, hey, your boy's tearing it up, and
I go who. He goes flag and I go, oh,
I said, where can I watch it? He said, I'm
on streaming? What were you streaming? The fourth quarter?
Speaker 9 (13:00):
It was on YouTube, anas on somebody's ig live. Okay,
you got to be real pathetic, and that's what I
was yesterday.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Is that a violation though? Did you? Okay?
Speaker 3 (13:11):
All right, So Marv's watching and he said, you know,
he's killing it here, and then all of a sudden,
the highlights. I saw the highlights, and he had himself
a day.
Speaker 7 (13:20):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I don't know how he was the entire game. I
just know that he had four moments where you go.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
All right, damn all right, shooting the three, all right,
a dunk there, okay, going coast to coast and that's
how these things happen. It's like Paul's schemes with the Pirates,
like you can't script that, you can't go that guy
is going to be a star. You know, he had
the elements there LSU National Championship, going to Omaham mustache,
(13:46):
throwing a hundred, dating, you know, a beautiful you know,
gymnasts there at LSU like he had it. Everything's there,
going to the Pirates number one pick. You don't stay
in the miners very long. So Cooper Flag is going
to basket ball's miners here for a year and then
he'll be in the NBA the following year. So you
have these moments where you know, these things are created.
(14:08):
You can try to hype somebody, try to create some
It's like when Lebron was sixteen playing in Chicago and
he was tearing up NBA veterans and all of a
sudden word gets out the kid from Akron is tearing
everybody up. So now all of a sudden, the hype builds. Now.
Cooper Flag is not asking for this, but he can
be the benefactor. But he can also be the recipient
(14:30):
of a lot of people saying, wait, this guy's supposed
to be good, because he's going to have those moments
where you go and then another over hyped guy from Duke,
another guy who is really good in college and not
going to be really good in the pros. It's probably
going to happen this year. But he is by all
accounts legit. And you know, we have some people who
(14:52):
were there watching the scrimmage yesterday, so we'll talk to
them a little bit later on. All right, we'll take
a break, we'll settle on our poll question. Phone calls
are always welcome eight seven, seven to three DP show
just getting started on this Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (15:03):

Polly and Toni Foosco show. Yeah, but instead of us
telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick
described us when he came on our show.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated, what what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (15:33):
We were interrupting our promo.
Speaker 6 (15:35):
Yeah, you wasn't talking about you.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 10 (15:40):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you
out and beat you.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Let me put this into context.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Shut up.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (15:47):
Anyway, just listening to the Paully and Toni Fusco Show
on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
Speaker 7 (15:53):
Yeing.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I think we settled on a poll question today, at
least the first would you rather win home run derby
or the three point contest? I mean, if you want
to put in slam dunk, because I'm going to guess
that what ninety five percent of Americans have never dunked before?
Is it higher than that? What is the percentage of
people who haven't dunked in America? Ninety eight percent?
Speaker 6 (16:22):
It's got to be high.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Ninety eight percent. Yeah. What's it like to feel like
the ninety eight percent.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
Be a ninety eight percenter?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, I'd be a two percenter, although I did think
I was a whole lot better than I was the
first time I dunked.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I'm like, yeah, I'm good.
Speaker 3 (16:40):
And then you don't get to dunk in a game
Like It's not like they go, Hey, clear out of
the way. Can I go in there and dunk? It's
doesn't matter, Marvin, are you in a Are you a
two percenter?
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (16:55):
So sorry, Yeah, just a calm in basketball of.
Speaker 9 (17:00):
All, you're right. Second of all, it was a nerve ball,
and you know the easiest way to donkey is.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
On the side.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
So no, technically I have not the answered it was no.
That was that was a todd like answer. Essentially, that's no,
It's no, okay, that's all I asked. It's a yes
or no question. Oh, it's so nice to be at
eight seven, seven to three d P Show Email addressed
TPA Danpatrick dot com, Twitter.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Handle at GP show. Oh my gosh, we've got an
IT team report.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
No, we go to the news for an IT team investigation.
The motto of our news team is, we don't break news,
we sprain it. Let's go to the new room.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Poe, the and the I team got a little inkling
of a report last night, and it was confirmed just
moments ago. If you noticed lately, we about a month ago,
we started talking about wiffleball. What a great game it was. Yeah,
we bust out the whiffleball bats and balls and a
lot of the back room guys and Seat and Fritzi.
Everyone's been playing wiffleball back and it's almost become like
a daily occurrence. It's really fun out back. Everyone's having
(18:02):
a good morale boost. And I would say that m
VP of month one of whiffleball was clearly seating back
me up. Fritzy was the breakout star, the Pete Alonzo
of our while launch just taking things star.
Speaker 6 (18:15):
I think it's what is it, TODDI O Todi. Yes,
he took it very seriously. He was like out there
like legit, it was balling.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
Yes, he was.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yesterday I asked picture de Ray and back. I go,
what's going on you guys playing today? He goes, now,
we're not playing? Like, how come? He goes, Todd's injured?
And I thought he was kidding, you know. I thought
Todd just you know, went home. And then moments ago
I heard from the back row that Todd is injured
and cannot play wiffle ball anymore. Question mark Todd, not anymore.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
I have tendon itis in what feels like ten ightis
in the middle of my right arm from it's winging
that light. That too odd and too aggressively after not
making that kind of motion whatever. And now it's just
for the last couple of weeks, I have this lingering
tightness in the middle of my been the bend of
my right arm, and I don't want to make it
any worse.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
I'm trying to give it some time to heal.
Speaker 8 (19:05):
Okay, there's also like eleven twelve of us on the staff,
so I would hate to think that a two on
two game with me not being able to play means
that whiffleball.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
It's been two weeks. It's been two weeks.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
I know should be concerned.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
I don't know, maybe I need surgery on my arm
or something like that that it's still a you know what,
Let's do the end of whiffleball.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
If I can't participate for a little while.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Let's do the surgery here. Okay, let's do it live
on the show.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I've tried icy hot heating padis or something's not right now.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
I haven't gone for rexfet Ye.
Speaker 6 (19:32):
See, the story really is is not that whiffleball is
not over because Todd's not playing. Okay, not that important,
but I chose to. I chose Todd as my teammate.
They even wanted to do a draft, and I was like,
I don't want a draft. I want Todd as my teammate.
I want Todd to play. Todd was the breakout star.
Todd was like the whole fun of it for well,
(19:52):
certainly for me, I'll still play with these guys because
it's fun, I guess. But Todd being the guy, he
was like, oh yeah, back row guy, now we can
do it on the air. It's I you know, when
the Sixers were getting Paul George, it was like, why
would you get a guy with injury concerns? Or why
would you why would you draft somebody with injury concerns?
Why would you trade for a guy like I don't know,
(20:12):
the dude can't stay healthy. I have to be honest
with you. Despite Todd's track record of injury conftness, medical history,
and you know what, I underappreciated just how soft he
really is in that swinging a whiffleball bat and throwing
a whiffle ball would put him out two weeks later.
Like Ben Simmons, Yes, Ben Simmons, Like why would you
(20:35):
draft Ben Simmons? Is there a lot of upside?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
I don't know?
Speaker 6 (20:37):
Injury concerns I don't know. I really did not think
that after a week of vacation, Todd's arm would still
hurt so bad that he can't play whiffle ball.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Soft soft soft soft soft soft.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I don't. I'm shocked at that.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
I am I not.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
I'm not.
Speaker 5 (20:58):
Yes, Kenny, middle age plus man walk into a doctor's
office and say I hurt my arm playing whiffle ball.
Would you look at it?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
I wouldn't say how I heard it.
Speaker 5 (21:08):
You have to be honest with you. You're supposed to be.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
No Todd is never No one's honest with their doctor. Man.
When your doctor says do you drink? Yeah, but you know,
like one drink a day.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
The origin of the injury is like step one with
a doctor. They didn't know how you are.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
All he has to say is I've been getting more
exercise and I think I hurt my elbow. That so, yeah,
you don't don't bring wiffleball into it exercises a lie.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, all right, Well, thoughts and prayers for you to appreciate.
Speaker 8 (21:36):
I'm not done forever, but for now I think it
needs to rest because when I try to lock my
right arm and do like the swinging motion, it feels
very tight, and it seems silly to aggravate that until
it feels better.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
I'm glad you're don't okay, all right, hanging there, Okay,
we're un pulling for you. You're gonna be a make
a wish kid, you know?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And and what's you know what? What's wrong with you?
I hurt myself playing wiffleball?
Speaker 5 (22:03):
What if the word the.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
Crink the crook of your arm, where the bend is,
there's like a word for that. I'm not sure what
that is. That's that's exactly where it is in the
middle there the crease is there?
Speaker 5 (22:12):
A softer injury and getting injured playing wiffleball.
Speaker 6 (22:15):
Chris Connelly is going to be here, oh later on
film a piece with Todd, maybe Tom Tom Rinaldi will
be here, probably do a nice story on Todd. There'll
be a piano playing. It'll be emotional, it'll be it'll
be moving people reminding us. He'll have to get Toddy
(22:36):
John surgery.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
That's good and gives I'm going to give the audience
a bluepaw now, Aaron, Yeah, thank you, Eric for me.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
No, come on, not funny, no, no, And now you're laughing.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
I'm trying to make light of a very ridiculous situation.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
That nobody can play wiffleball. And just because I'm not laying,
I didn't know that. It's all about content. Thank you,
thank you God. I hurt plan No, no, all right, AnyWho?
Speaker 3 (23:15):
So we have our hour, one pole question and phone
calls if you'd like to join the conversation today. The
elements to becoming a breakout star. It's interesting how you know,
you aggregate a story so people will pick up a story.
Websites pick up a story depending on how many people
are clicking on that story. You know, it's not news judgment.
(23:37):
They're looking to get clicked. So all of a sudden,
seventeen year old kid dominates against the Olympic team. There's
video of him. Six to eleven, white guy who's from Maine.
He is from Maine, but he plays in Florida for
one of the best high school teams in America. But
six to eleven white guy from Maine is dominating the Olympians.
(23:58):
Everybody starts clicking on that. That's how you create something
a breakout star because a lot of people, I mean
this is in Europe. The Daily Mail, Associated Press, the
New York Times. They're all picking up this story. But
they're picking up this story because you're picking up this story.
You're reading this story, you're curious about this.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
That's all this is. I mean, that's what news is now.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
It's give me the most popular stories, not the most
important stories, the most popular stories. I mean, that's why
Bronnie James was such a big deal because it's Bronnie
James and Lebron James. Now you have Lebron James going
against Cooper Flag and the Olympians, and now you can
incorporate everything there. And that's how that's how this happened
(24:44):
yesterday it was can't watch it. You can see clips
and then you can judge for yourself. But hitting Jumpers
going against Anthony Davis, I guess holding his own by
all accounts, and the fact that he's seven, he's going
to Duke. I wonder what his nil is now after
(25:04):
something like this, and I don't know, you know, if
his parents have money, I don't know how important that is.
I don't know what he's getting at Duke with nil,
but with something like this, because Zion Williamson wasn't getting nil,
he might have been getting something else.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
When he went to Duke.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
But here's Cooper Flag who will be the number one
player in college basketball.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Does his price go up?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Does he get compensated in accordance to being this popular,
or does he say, look, I'm going to Duke, I'll
make my money when I go to the NBA. Imagine
if you're seventeen and you were able to go to
the NBA. So let's say you do your rookie deal.
The number of contracts that Cooper Flag. Let's say he
(25:49):
is a legitimate star, So how many contracts is he
going to have in his NBA lifetime? So if he goes,
if he's team and he was going into the NBA now,
so now he would have three years and then he
would get a crazy amount of money, and then five
(26:10):
years from now or four years from now, a crazier
amount of money, and then four or five years from
now a crazier crazier amount of money. I mean, you're
looking at these guys now at a half a billion
dollars a year, they're right in their career half a
billion dollars at least with just the money you're going
(26:30):
to make from the NBA. And that's not far fetched
because I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. I
had an agent say, Shay Gilgis, Alexander in a couple
of years will be the highest paid player in the NBA,
making eighty one million dollars a year. So the timing
of your contract and his a he's going to make
eighty one million dollars a year, So it's not far
(26:52):
fetched to get to one hundred million dollars in the
next ten years. It feels like for a player a million,
you play five years, got a half a big dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I don't know how it's sustainable, but it's like I
don't even I don't even blink when I see these
contracts for NBA players anymore.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Oh can I play?
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Paul George Paul George Playoff pe podcast. Pig was talking
about his negotiations with the Clippers, and when you don't
say the word million or millions, like you know that,
it's just like, you know, thirty, I don't know forty
five for one fifty, we're not even saying million. Here
(27:41):
is Paul George on his podcast.
Speaker 11 (27:43):
So the first initial deal was like two years sixty
so I'm like, whoa, hey, that's crazy.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Bro, that's great. That's crazy crazy.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
So I'm like, wow, now they now they bring it
to three years one point fifty, all right, that's cool.
It sucks that it had to get to this point
like that. They couldn't we couldn't get this figured out
a lot sooner. But now we at the end of
the year three years one fifty. So I'm like, all right, like,
now we're in We're in the ballpark, you know what
I mean. Now we can have conversation here. I presented
(28:17):
the three one fifty no trade because in the meaning,
they're like, you know, we want you here long term,
we want to you know, when you're retired, we want
you to be a Clippers for a lifetime, like all
of this stuff. So I'm like, cool, give me the
three years one fifty no trade. Then like no trade clause.
Then I'm now like I'm taking less, but least I
know I'm here, like I'm committed to y'all.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Like they didn't want to hear the no trade.
Speaker 7 (28:40):
Wow.
Speaker 11 (28:41):
So then now I'm like, all right, well, then it
only makes sense for me to do four years to twelve, right, Like,
at least pay me my money if y'all gonna trade me,
then y'all gonna trade me. But at least, like now
I'm not in a situation where I could have got
more had I just gone to free agency, then take
this deal and y'all just shit me wherever I want.
(29:01):
And now I'm on this deal that I didn't want.
So they didn't want to do that. So now I
was like, now like, now I'm I'm open to entertaining.
What's what's out there? Oh that's great.
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Two for sixty nah nah no, no, which I mean
he was so right though, jure. He was said to me,
it sounds crazy. Two years for sixty. They're like, what
that's insulting?
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Really?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Oh my god, But he was right.
Speaker 6 (29:26):
If he got four years to twelve, that's.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Crazy.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, yes, but he was right though. Everything he said
was right. It's not based in reality, our reality, but
in their reality.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
It is because even his buddies that he's sitting with,
I don't know who, was like, man, that's crazy, like
two for.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Sixty nah nah no, Holy smokes.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
Three for one fifty yeah, okay, it's still less. No trade, Yeah,
you're welcome. I'm taking a discount.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Yeah, no trade.
Speaker 12 (30:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Wow, how do you how does Kawhi Leonard feel today.
I was just curious that Paul George is gone, Like,
what do you have James Harden taking more shots? Exactly like,
And I don't know if Kawhi Leonard if it matters
to him. I don't know if his if his legacy matters,
I don't I don't know if he cares about any
(30:23):
of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
And he doesn't do interviews.
Speaker 3 (30:26):
I mean, he's been an incredibly great player at times,
but what's his legacy going to be?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
Load management?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yes, he is the face of load management and that
you know the title he won in Toronto. You know
they'll have a statue of him now, isn't a statue
of him sitting or is it?
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
That's wrong.
Speaker 4 (30:49):
He's got.
Speaker 2 (30:51):
Street clothes there.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
You can sit on his lap. Hey, kids, go sit
AT's lap. Don't don't hurt him.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
But like the Clippers, I think they thought they had something.
They were the odds for them to win the title
this year were what top five and they were trying
to make all of this work with all of these stars,
and then.
Speaker 7 (31:12):
What do you have?
Speaker 9 (31:13):
Yeahmar La, just be grateful it's not the Lakers, because
if it was the Lakers. This would have been crazy.
We don't care about the Clippers. They did the exact
same thing. I always say this, the Lakers and the
Clippers did the exact same thing the exact same year.
They got a big time star and they traded the
farm for a second star, and the Clippers did nothing. Yeah,
so they traded shay Gyodis Alexander. People forget he was
(31:36):
in that trade.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yes, yes, it was one of those throw ins.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
All the guy that we can't pronounce his name, and
he's there and all right, going to OKC.
Speaker 5 (31:45):
Yeah, Paul I was looking at Paul George like he
came out of college. You know what, was he a
middle first round pick?
Speaker 2 (31:50):
Tenth pick?
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Okay, so you make really good dough as a tenth pick.
And he was pre anil era, so theoretically he wasn't
making anything in college. So he goes from making zero
to two point five million dollars for four years each year.
That's great, you must feel like you're set for life.
Then his next contract he averages eighteen million a year
for the next four years. Then the next contract averages
(32:12):
thirty two million a year, and this one is now
at forty six million. It's like staggering levels every three
or four years, jump ups. He probably can't remember making
two point five.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Nave scraping bond.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
Yeah, that's like I mean, is that even the interest
that he would be making.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I mean, yeah, But we're gonna get to the point
and look, I don't begrudge anybody.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Get whatever you can get.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
Get it.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
It could be Pat McAfee to Steven A to Shay
Gilgess Alexander get it because the person who's employing you
is certainly getting it. And then some because they wouldn't
be able to, you know, dole out these dollars if
they weren't getting a whole lot more money.
Speaker 6 (33:00):
They get to hire Justin Bieber to come to their wedding,
and then we'll talk about that Justin Bieber for ten
million dollars. It's not even the wedding reception that he
performed in India or India. We'll talk about that. Play

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Yeah, we got up there right now. Would you rather
win the home run derby or the three point contest?
Speaker 3 (34:38):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (34:39):
Home run derby?
Speaker 6 (34:40):
Eighty percent of the b Okay, all right, chicks dig
the long ball. I think that's because people are like,
I could hit a three, but you.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Know what, chicks might dig the long ball when I'm
shooting the three. I mean true baseball with the long
ball me shooting logo threes.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yes, Tom.
Speaker 8 (34:58):
It seems to me more often than not if you're
popping threes that you're considered a really good or a
great shooter. I'm not convinced it works the other way,
where if someone's you know, just pitching slow bloops to
you and you're Chris, you're hitting the ball over the
place that you would be considered some great home run hitter.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Now you do have to supply all of the power
just so you know, if somebody's throwing one hundred, that
helps you hit the ball further. But if I'm throwing
fifty five or sixty, the hitter has to supply all
the power there.
Speaker 8 (35:26):
Yeah, but I've got to believe the average baseball player
or above average base player with any kind of strength
can muster up enough strength to hit it over.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
The sambas with soil.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
But can you hit like twenty five? Can you do
it again in another round and then another round? I mean,
more people can hit a three than can hit a bomb.
Speaker 5 (35:45):
Yes, Paul Fritzy's making hitting a home run in a
major league ballpark with BP sound kind of easy.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Wait keeps throwing that all You're just blooping it up there,
You're throwing it you know fifty miles an hour.
Speaker 5 (35:55):
You guys played baseball before. I didn't. But if you
guys went in and had like an hour to get ready. Now,
someone threw light BP two, could you connect with one
and park it?
Speaker 7 (36:03):
No?
Speaker 5 (36:04):
Okay, no, that's why I thought I wasn't sure.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Not now. But what if you were a major league
baseball player?
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yes, most players could probably hit a home run?
Speaker 4 (36:11):
Yes, probably several.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Okay, can you hit fifteen?
Speaker 4 (36:17):
Then that's how those?
Speaker 2 (36:18):
Can you hit? Can you hit fifteen threes in a
span of whatever they give you two minutes? Can you
do that?
Speaker 7 (36:26):
You could?
Speaker 2 (36:26):
But you can hit a three? No, you can't.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
You wouldn't be able to get through you would even
get to half the rack. You wouldn't even get through it.
Speaker 4 (36:34):
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 8 (36:35):
I think it's much more impressive to hit a lot
of threes over a short period of time than it's
just swinging hard.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
And hitting well.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
I think hitting a home run is more impressive than
hitting a three. Absolutely, And then those.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Circumstances are an actual game. I'm talking about it, And now.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
I'm talking about home run derby.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
It's a three point shooting contest, and home run derby
I'm not talking about a game, talking about practice.
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yes, And I think part of like the fun of
the poll question is that you're not a professional in
either of those sports.
Speaker 3 (37:05):
Yeah, but Todd can't take things just what's in front
of him. It always has to be you just take
it to a different level and you interpret things.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And that's something with this. It just meant to be fun.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Okay, can we try.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Remember you're the Minister of humor.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Minister of humor.
Speaker 6 (37:22):
I think he started the show off today with that's
responsibility was fun.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Yes, and you failed miserably.
Speaker 8 (37:28):
I guess I'm overanalyzing you are, but you do this
all the time. I think I would just give it
too much.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Gets a run playing wiffle ball. I do have a
right armentry Kyle and Maine. Hi, Kyle, Hey, Bud.
Speaker 6 (37:47):
Oh Man.
Speaker 12 (37:48):
I've thought of a call for a long time listen
you for over ten years, but I can't have to
call today with Todd. About a week ago, I ate
two bags of sunflower seeds on that the stomach that's
actuated thing called the bezor and my stomach where I uh,
I could have passed it. Next thing, I'm in urgent
kid and then in the ear, I got two male
doctors Manuel dispacked it. Then I got under surgery. I
(38:11):
got this taken out. I've been pooping hot lava and
sets some hair to there, Todd and I will play
woofleball right now. You're letting you seem down. This is
this is an embarrassment. Your elbow hurts from swinging a bat.
You have no idea what real pain is?
Speaker 3 (38:25):
Bud Well, No, no, no, Todd does no real pain.
He's gone through real pain. This isn't real pain. And
and Kyle, sorry for your your pain there. Good luck
with that, although that's kind of tough. How did you
get sick? Sunflower seeds on an empty stomach? That's up
there kind of with wiffle ball, I mean it is, Kyle.
(38:46):
I gotta admit you're kind of soft there. You go
in and then you're in the ear.
Speaker 2 (38:50):
What's wrong with him? Sunflower seeds? All right, let's operate.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Clear losing him.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
We didn't need that little TMR there.
Speaker 3 (39:03):
Okay, Chemo in Virginia beaches back, Hi, Kemo, Danny, anybody.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
You're killing me?
Speaker 7 (39:11):
Of course, I'll just get the pole question scud up immediately.
I can hit dingers Danny all day. I'm a shooter. Shooter,
I got a threes, but I can't dunk. Danny Marvin
hit the dail on the head right, spud Web. I
saw it as it happened. Incredible. How how tall spud web?
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Five four five five five six? Yeah, but that's that's
the anomaly.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
If you said Muggsy Bogues dunked, then I'd go, all right,
that's pretty incredible.
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Most of the guys who were dunking are not five
seven spud Web. That's why he won. D Brown won
because he was what blindfolded or put his you know,
arm over his eyes as if he couldn't see the
basket set. Sabalis did the blindfold Oh, blindfeld Okay, d Brown.
Speaker 5 (40:06):
Did the one arm over peaking.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Uh, let's see trip in Vegas, my trip?
Speaker 13 (40:13):
What's on your mind? Good morning, dB, good morning, Good morning.
I wanted to add a good morning, I don't wanted
to add an addendum to the pole question. And then
I had a new pole question. I would say, how
about a hole in one? So I add that to it,
and then the next pole question I would add, this
is more likely to happen again. Fritzy hurt playing whistleball,
(40:36):
taking a flight through Florida from Connecticut to Las Vegas,
or following in a hotel.
Speaker 6 (40:40):
Room all happened, Oh my god, the tragic accident in
the Vegas hotel.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
You hit your You had an abrasion.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
How was bad?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
You had an abrasion, Todd.
Speaker 8 (40:55):
It may have been an abrasion, but for someone my
size to end up up in the air in the dark,
one thirty two o'clock in.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
The morning, I don't think you could have gotten up
in there.
Speaker 4 (41:02):
I think I was up there.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
I don't think.
Speaker 3 (41:04):
And then, of course you took the short cut from
New York to Florida and then to Vegas.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
I figured it all out.
Speaker 2 (41:11):
It was just, you know, that's how most people do it.

Eleven Howards the Vegas perfect.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
