the, and the the violence, I nope. him, How? My trade is by Boston. pardon my take today is fry a march thirty first and we got baseball boys spalls back advanced stat, christian yellow, is on pays too.

Euro home runs this year. Are no power in that guy. Well, dear, there's nothing better than opening day. It does feel like we ve made it through winter. Just feel and seen the boys a summer out there It also is very fun to do those stats. I think aaron judge at one point was on pace for five hundred and seventy one runs that was cool. Cubs are on pace for one hundred and sixty two wins. The phillies are on pace for zero win yeah, you remembered for about two hours when aaron judge was a giant and in his first at bat he goes yard off the giants. Yes, that's a two point swing you remember too. I didn't really say that, because aaron judge deleted or he unfolds the yankees, it was good negotiating yeah

yeah yeah. I remember that as well, but yeah we so to see how big those bases are there huh they look bigger than springtime, I'm going to say, I'm legitimately excited for the new rules like. I think that this actually there's been so many so much hand wringing about how to fix baseball. I I was reading an article that basically, everyone who played the wbc who had come from spring training was like yeah. This feels like we're playing ten hours like why. Why? Wouldn't we have a clock, I am excited. I think it's gonna be awesome, more stolen bases more. I think there was. It was something every single team stole more bases in spring training than last year, even those the shortened spring training the shift. Everything like I'm I'm excited for baseball the shift and that that might be because the cubs won the first, not the shift. I think we they actually listened to what baseball fans have been saying? Yes, which is even baseball for that's how you know that your game is boring as fuck.

When are most die. Hard fans are like this. I'm watching too much baseball yeah. You need to shorten it a little bit. So there was some like initial controversy today. I think there's a red sox player right first ever got called got called out because you have to step back into the box before eight seconds and then the umpire watches, and if the pitcher gets the pitch, often time or whatever, boom you're out. You see it's fun. It's fun like watching these rules be implemented and watch players like freak out for the first time, but overall, I think that what they've done is turn baseball into a game that more people congrats. We did it. We did it. You are my green bergs, dumb rules. We made baseball, watchful, yeah, there's gonna, be games that are two hours and twenty minutes is perfect, taught yup yeah ready to go and we will do a baseball preview at some point I it was kind of. I don't want to take some ada wheels to task, but if you know we're a little backed up, we just did our mb a preview like a month

How we did our college massimo preview in January. We're gonna need a little bit of time to see how everything shakes out before we do our previous. Haven't done our in each operator. You have no, we did that december actual now we just did that business would stop hitting us of yes but I want to do it would do another age preview we will do in and we'll preview my Would you say who are worlds? Reshaping? Oh, yes, san diego ponderous, oh, We are saying that airplane. No, I'm just saying I will do us- are rosaries loser preview later. Ok, I was, I was going to pick the mats put verse. It has already hurt. Yes, the mets are on pays to have every player. He looks

Injuries are at the top. They uh west right now want to know huh catbird seat. You know what I'll say it. This is the year. I think the Tampa bay rays can win it. All. Okay, they've, been they've, always been there for us. What, like ten years, fifteen years, they've been like knocking at the door where, like they'll, have a couple of years, where their advanced analytics will always work and there'll, be the the team that everyone, watch out for the rays and in a fallback town I think you're coming back up, and I think this is very reds yeah good thing. There were pick last year this, I read our own one. They lost to the pittsburgh pirates only cruises a monster. My o, your art, a major common o king. Besides your lot daddy like for whatever reason they party the hardest for opening the gets a big. It's a parade in everything. That's excited its awesome. Putting day is also, it really is like it does feel like me. We ought to dig aims,

Are there wasn't altogether he has had to go there and there were a lot of digging those, as I did my strategy of with all the rule changes just blindly bet every over. There is like nine games during the day on espaa new. I feel like it in the paso. Just the opening day was he was the world's. Was the world baseball classic bad for baseball, because now the regular season is going to pale in compare into a baseball fatigue. Yeah, I'm already out about yahoo or wonder of twisting angels. Yeah. I was about to say my my loser of the world series, the toulouse angels, okay angels, padres angels lose and sweep. Unless they bring back the rally monkey, in which case they win angels, be the giants again shades of what was that some three social magazine, ism, yeah, ok, I've seen em, that's that's a guy I'll do

oh yeah agitated excise hustle monster I'll. Do the tamper may raise, beat the philadelphia, fillies costs, of course, tunnels idea. Of course we happen. I actually and am I'm also very excited for the cubs, because I think they're gonna be my line is sneaky, not bad amazon, not about is very close to good guess: Nicky, not bad you're, at least young guys you can refer guys like you darling something. Do I have some guys man seen swanton like there it's sneaking up at. Do I have to pick a chicago's cubs awaits us, does I'll be out there? The summer's would just look look into white socrates eyes, and then you can pick were you there, your socks brother. There sure you have to go double socks right, Keep those feet warm by the way I think treatments in areas like the universally most love guy in all baseball, because a member denny be cancer, did yeah and, and he then went went. he's the only guy who's ever gone to the ash rose and people than eight yeah. Think about that.

In order to he's a really good feel good store, yet runny dominated. Can you like everyone? Eighty asters, everyone on the asteroids yeah he's he's, eat, peas, somehow not hate it show, tiny, not hated yeah, although there I think there are some people who were like he should be a yankee. Yeah he's Jesse he's hated, he's a yankee and we remember when he made his debut for the angels. It was in spring training and MIKE Francesca was like yes, yankees dodged, a bullet by not getting this guy. To talk about this guy, like he's baby yeah who going put him on the roster gabe ruth, would have been cleaning his jocks, recall, recall and yet baseball. Let's have some fun with baseball, is good yo, baseball's great for especially this time of year is just walking. As a tv yeah and seeing a sport on a live sport in the middle of the grass alive sports on t v that I walked past I'm in makes you feel good yeah,

you know, usually it's like opening day happens, then you you, you kind of get a laugh where you're like oh shit, there's one hundred and sixty two of these and then like generals running like oh, this is fun plus those bases man, I'm telling you they're huge. evacuate age, are what else we have gone on. Oh with tweeted hank has to address yes hank. We do. It was more than just a tweet. It sounds like a culture have to address yes, so us samuel, tweeted out of the clouds like really I don't know what he's even doing these days. You gonna show anyway, he's been dad he's made a dash of all. He said our jackson, my brother trust me, you don't wanna play for Bela check out of nowhere he's a defensive player. I don't really know how that's relevant or belichick says he had to lunch. I thought you had something better than no. I this thing. It's I don't know. I think I think our guy, like Tom Brady, hoyer or maybe a quarterback quarterbacks says some like that. Maybe hold some more weight, but a defensive player. Talking quarterback

we're, not even in the same position rooms now he just saying he doesn't. He knows how belichick is, and he knows Lamar you wouldn't want to play for the Does he know Lamar? Well, maybe I also economies brothers, like he's got he's uses a little. I mean again valid checks, known loaded for cutting players when you, the second on their decline. well son, was always in as experience to separate cultures. He's experience the patriot and then he's experienced a winning culture on the eagles, and he just knows that you don't wanna play for the patriots. What is is beef, though, because I just went to his twitter page and the tree before That is a retreat where brain marshal was calling melting. How dare you a sunday samuel? How dare you shaded mccoy? How dare you say, bilbil belichick ain't that guy what what is the beef he probably got cut? it was. It was very weird out of nowhere and I mean it'll make me make loosened it has to make you stop for second there's gotta be something else, there's something deeper: their yeah yeah. We gotta figure out what that is

Maybe it's o me held on two thousand seven and in those of free agency departure. I would ask that he's romo their client Gowers, like they they caught him. They were going to pay and they caught him and so that extremely relevant to me. We are on the eve of a big payday. He tried to stronger. He tried to hold out maximizes value sounds like that's exactly what Lamar's going through right. Now, yeah. What was the who's, the guy who picked off brussels and dairies? No, now combating talk about He also was that sunday, samuel is David Tyree catch yeah, but I'm saying mouth above all you gotta do condoms. Now, from butler got like put, you know, we're even playing the game the next year, so maybe he's like he treats players bad, I dunno. I, it seems weird, but does it seems it seemed outta? Nowhere heck, you seem like you're you're, very delusional about anything related to the patriots. Right now know that

Not me, I'm the thing of very level headed with the patriots always have been the longest odds they've ever had in the belt Bilbo check era era. Since the first year. I think. yeah, it's gonna be a fun and we're not gonna get Lamar. Unfortunately, dozens him In that way, I know I was, I just doesn't cause an allergic response of sam. I don't think belt, I just don't think belichick wants them, which is crazy, cause it'd be so fun so far. I would love to watch see with it at all. I know is: I am all in on blood at the unreal. Woodson and will levis yeah, so Eddie richardson had his pro day today and he lit it up, lit lighting it up he's an absolute athletic free adonis. He threw it at the roof. He said afterwards. He did that because we'll Levis did that yeah and I do feel bad for our friend will love us that he's and the is such an athletic freak will have us would be an athletic freak any other year. He just happens to be matched up against the guy who's, like literally the I think it's woody chart higher than any quarterback ever right. Yes, basically

space with cameroon yeah, I always better to spend one can't we're athletic. Who wants to grant or is that how its care newton, with regular captions on instagram? What this? Single hand also know heisman or national title that, but this is a college, is the program neuro, but every rich every region didn't do. What can you do which right what's the last path that will focus on you know brought in the present day. Andrew Richardson is better than cam newton right now, I'd probably agree when there are both the sage whenever they were area. Okay. So when, when came newton, was the number one picking the draft and want to national heisman analyze beat alabama with a team that had no office of like nfl talent, so now, anthony

which is better than that guy. That scc wasn't the same as today's as he's much harder. It's much harder to win in today's scc. All I know is I've seen enough from both those guys. If you can throw a football off of a roof, I meant dude. He was sitting down not on his knees sitting down, throwing thirty yards. Okay, I meant yeah. It was insane. How do you not? How do you not take him number one What would happen, though It happened in the game if a quarterback hit the roof of a dome with a pass. I guess what I mean areas where jerry's world don't hit this carnival. They have to re. Can you does that one time off the clock? When you do the knife and a loop, think, I found a rebel wriggle in time. Here are the titans getting a new stadium yeah? Maybe they build it specifically to have any time It's funny because I think will love us here. He's obviously like these way stronger than he was a couple of months ago. They did the before and after pictures will have us, I think, all the mail.

Cartoon. I think he was sick of being asked about how he puts mayo in his coffee. How he been every question was like food related offices like I'll show. All of you, I'm gonna, get really strong. Now the question is shift to his will. Love us too jacked up to play in the nfl I mean, I'm rooting for will ever see is a friend of the program for the original too, because he's he seems like if he can put it all together, he'd be electric yeah. I did have a dream. The other night, which is terrible to say, admit that, like these are the dreams I'm having cj shrouded the forty niners. I imagine him, and that was my offense yeah. They just it was crazy. I just had CJ shroud in a forty niners uniform, I dunno how it happens. Yeah someone figure out how they can move up with. I don't think they have a first round pick. No, they definitely don't write.

Don't, but they got a bunch of third round picks. Okay, so that's how it happened. They bundled their third. How many third round picks equals the first romp we gotta, we gotta. Do our own draft valid fifteen fifteen third rounders. Does our speakers doesn't the thirty first pick in the draft yeah that would actually rule if you can make traded for an entire round of the draft, you would be able to build a hell of a football team out of only third round pick yeah. I've got major respect for the whole patriots organization being drafted. That team helped me be a better player and a better man, and for that I'll be forever grateful who's, a scientist samuel when, after he retired oh there was, he still owed money. No, that's what it was he held out before the two thousand and seven season. He went all pro and he signed with the eagles and he was mad that the patriots offered him half as as much as like what he was should have been getting. So don't hate the players that eight year old checks playing the game correctly.

Yeah, but it sounds like Lamar wouldn't want a situation where your coaches is denying you money, that's exactly what Lamar's leaving right now. That's all I'm saying yeah man. I thought the only way that it would work is where Lamar was kind of just going to like do like a fuck you to everyone else and prove it with the patriots, and then I dunno, I never really made sense other than just like it'd be. Second, It would be so yeah, that's yeah, but like in the world I just going to. I just want to win. I'm going to win to prove to be Matt jones, like even your car insurance rates are through the roof. Yup put lot of points yeah, you don't think it sucks to be MAC jones. I'll talk to her about jones is a good quarterback. If you can get all pro Moreover, I guess I'll just like that of year done suckers march, but you still have the threat you gotta looming zappia over your fear. Like? I feel bad, I'm not saying like he sucks, I'm saying it's got a sock to know that even like robber craft being like meat meal text me, let's get Lamar

kind of suck yeah, knowing that your boss is texting with meek mill trying to get you fired, that has that sucks, it's a business that they know. Okay, blinders on alright we're going to talk. So let's talk some final four before we do that just for men one day, bearded brow color is a first temporary brush in wash out color from just four men: the beard, color experts, it's a breakthrough, die free formula, easily and instantly eliminates grace with natural look, temporary colors fills in the thin patchy areas into find your beard for a thicker fuller, look now any guy easily transform their look anytime.

That's fact the beard will look great the beard, the beard colour experts went to the lab and they came up with an incredible incredible product: try new one day, beard and brow from just for men today: okay, let's, let's figure out this, this ticket thing right now and we'll talk a little fun of, or do you fun fact about the final four? And if Jim Lehrer nago wins the championship, he will be the oldest coach in any sport to win a title. That's while, while we now recall, were counting all college sports college, yet college football basketball in the four major

pro sports that is while in he would do it. I think it would be a month older than dusty. Baker was in october so that in so doing I see bakers guy gets like so he get dusty gets like six months of being the oldest yet dusty baker. Older than Jim learn. Agar put dusty baker was like seventy three and five months. When he won the world series. Jim learn egg. It would be seventy three and six months when he wins. If he wins the title I like it, I mean I feel, like my aim- is- is kind of becoming a trinity pick right now, just because people don't want to see you can write because as the final form of underdogs We have which one of these underdogs is the most likely to win and you'd probably say whoever wins. The yukon miami game going to be heavily favoured to win the championship, progress so high. whose line is it anyway, miami against effort you? I don't think it would be that big of what time to have yet

we like to three. I don't think it would be that significant yukon, if you can like, kills miami. They will be a significant favour in the championship game, but yeah I listen. I want you can't win because of my future, but I'm scared to death of miami. I dont think I there's two ways. This game is gonna go and I'm hoping that in early does the fawn way, because you can basically, they have a line up that I think, could defensively stop miami but that lineup won't be as explosive offensively. I'm hoping he's like fuck it. Let's just go shot for shot yeah. You know what we really need. American needs My aim is super rich boosters to step up the playwright out. Daybreak came day boy, kane Roy, deporting away all the lawyers, all the drug dealers get together and put a bounty on this game. Put like I'm, tell the kids, You know that they create like an innate company in miami that does not act. Lifelong didn't actually have a product down

they're, just like. If you come to miami we're going to pay you money, that's how it should be so that they created that then it's up to the plate and and all donate, like tens of millions of dollars to split up as a bounty. If this hurricanes team wins the national championship, put like some serious serious money on the line

motivate the hell out. That's the only way that I see it happening greatly because other than that I feel like we're in store for two yukon blow outs back to back. I would be fine if I get all. I really need out of this final. Four is just one close game, one class, one classic game: I don't we got three chances at it. Give me one classic. I think that I think I think all of the games are going to be close. I honestly do maybe not the championship game, but I think Saturday night we're going to have to like competitive close games. I really do I don't think after you and san diego state either team. Is that much better than the other team in miami like miami? What if they just keep making all the shots? Yeah then then have beat them happen, yeah art. So how should we decide who's going to sit in the last row in the stadium? Hmm, would you odds and evens we could do. We could do a random number generator and the person who's furthest away from it? Okay, one through one hundred. You want to do that. We'll know because I'm all pick- oh yeah yeah we're not good at math, yet we're in a business school right now. I think we go odds and evens right. Everyone count memes,

max come over here you go one, two three shoot it draw one or two and we keep shooting until one person it has it by themselves. Alright, okay, here we go so this is going to be for the san diego state. F, u game! One person will buy tickets thanks to game time, ah so that they can come down in the in the second and the second game, but for the first game, they're going to sit one single ticket last row in the stadium max is already defeat. You throw one or two, it's very easy one to three shoe. You throw one of those three. You cancer, through your max, looks like a four year old right now on the ground and king arthur evens. I guess we could do that. Yes, how you want to do that? Alright, alright one two three shoot! One, two, three shoot: do you wanna do a practice round: yeah! Okay! This is great. Everyone should be watching the youtube alright

No, this is not a product. You just said no. Okay, yeah! I know what you want practice josie zero war. The two three shoot: ok, I would be out because I threw yes, yes, you are hearing. I got it. One two three shoot I gotta go again: we are keeping. Farm one to issue on two terrible. passing one two three issues. Yeah, alright another lawsy in the back row body through us at san diego state effort? You will be sitting in the back row of energy stadium, I'm excited yeah. I have. I know that in jerry's world we went to alabama wisconsin and I almost had a heart attack coming up. Those might have been from extracurriculars, but

yeah. That was yes, so I'll, be all the way up at the top of the first came, I care working from outside from gas yeah, that's true, yeah, the the cops came over and they're like. Is this your bus for like yeah they're, like you're, like five minutes away from blowing up everyone around you? It's like okay, cool you're, just you're going to have the all ten angle, shallow gametime, going to get great seats, great seats, I'll, come down and join you guys for miami. You can yeah. This will be fun. I'm excited tweet out pictures ran like a How far away I am everyone's, like no seats, no seats, bro or anything else. Before we get to our interview, I saw that others beat the box by forty. I did and whereabouts our current goals vary and while we were talking to them, they were playing and he's like. I like the bucks and if they match up against the mac, matchup real. Well, hey, so the the celtics are on fire. Now right they beat the bucks by a whole lot. They probably blew the doors after the wizards when they play

Now there are also the wizards by twenty dollars. A tough loss really made the getting the one seed. A lot harder, czars played, tough celtics were never in it. I don't really know what happened there. I think the bucks are doing some load management. I don't think so. I yeah, I don't think the managers last thing they might have just lost there. They are coming off of back to back at a bucks fans so there's we're cannot backs back. I think again, we had all areas double another were almost, the action at last. They were kindly much back to back pretty much curry and russell westbrook in separate games tried to kick fans out of the arena and just so softer dictator, some mazur, a fucking, a joke, they're a disaster yeah that won't be the six to one guy and bad guy, kicked out by westbrook as cotton westbrook, which is apparently you can't say our own anymore,

He said the w word yeah. You can't say that got kicked out, but then he got kicked in after they determined. Oh, you didn't tell him that it sucked or anything in in cuss at them he called them. Westbrook yeah we're sending you back to your It's like. Yes, I, like I agree with you shouldn't you shouldn't swear players, you shouldn't say anything vulgar to them or threaten them, but you can call them west, but you can call him westbrook, yeah and also pep. I've got two small by awesome reefs now, who are series is very good but great player. It really hurt because lebron was like Hugo. Do that? I'm not I'm I'm above this, yet his henchmen take care of light work for him. He doesn't wanna get his hands dirty that sucked the nfl is apparently exploring an international division who, in football like an entire division. So expanding this was discussed at the owners meeting. Apparently so everyone's been

in london's going to get at least one team. Germany might get at least one team and they're looking at other, maybe mexico city, I dunno I dunno. If it's going to be european division or what. Why would a full division that just international teams jaguars are going to london and finally, they might be, they might be moving over there. There are two stadiums and london right now that are ready for an avowed seems taught in him, and then I think we owe to the o to note wembley, which might be taught him. You're gonna have to fact checked out well please not tottenham, but I like the idea of having international rivalries. Yes, like, I think we're the queen play queen wembley, which is not now him should apply in order now, queen clinics feed under but to be good to have like england, verse, ireland.

Which is another another move by the nfl to just one every hour of our lives, yeah cause we will just be watching nfl football at six am will at at eight am just constant. You can imagine italian team. I would love an italian challenge. Him be great yeah. Maybe yet and if we get it actually get enough, all right, oh yeah july, to rig aims there. Oh yeah, those a team in sicily, yeah we'll. Do it all aware the tightest pants I'm in a man I should get our interviews. Let's do it?

It is head coach of the florida atlantic owls headed to the final four dusty. May, our coach thank you for joining us appreciate it. I think we met in Columbus. I don't know you are staying at our team hotel or we were staying at the team, hotel and- and I want to start by saying- if we did I apologise because, I'm pretty sure I walk through the lobby after your went against memphis, just saying that wasn't that wasn't a jump all guys that wasn't jump all we got lucky. We got lucky so yeah apologies That is why, if I ruined the moment at all, no Actually I didn't mean it. You guys. I went through quickly got out of the way but our players that I have three sons: I've, three sons, twenty one, nineteen seventeen and

I recognized everyone said I think they're spending too much time on barstool sports yeah. That's probably that's probably true. So, let's, let's start with there, though, because this run has been incredible and with seven seconds left in the first round it could, over. Have you had a moment to think like holy shit? That was quite the sliding doors moment of my career of ever use. Ito trajectory. True, factory like has that set in like that we were, we were the edge there we were about to be done, yet It's like every big run. When you look at national champions, then you look at the final four participants, usually out of their first four or five games. They had one really scary moment where I even remember a coach donovan at florida got over the hump he'd been knocked out of the first weekend, maybe four or five straight times and MIKE miller butler, missed a free throw from a ninety percent shooter and MIKE Miller hits a floater at the buzzer and the rest, history, so it seems like every champion. A viable participant has some type of storyline similar. So fortunately, for us that we have to bear

in an eighty footer or anything like that. I got our guy made a good play the ram, and even I thought that the time out calls little but overblown as there was that stopping and play a couple minutes prior that we had a three point or waved off trend with scorn opposition. So I think it's just when you lose those play step. I stand out a lot more than than the winning team having having similar similar bad luck might be a team of destiny. I'd like to give you the opportunity to make your case for for florida atlantic as being america's team or america's sweetheart in this final four, because I think we're all searching out there there's a lot of underdogs. It would be one thing if it was you know ones and two seeds, and then you guys, but there's a lot of underdogs out there. So why is f a? U america's team? While we have a fun style of play to watch, I think that from day one we've wanted to be entertaining you're in Boca Raton Florida. You need to do something other than just win and just play the game

to get people into a gymnasium when it's eighty degrees and clear skies out. So we want to have an entertaining brand of play. Unfortunately, we had some guys buy into it and then, on the other end, we've got some pit bulls that compete every possession, so I believe, are twenty five in the country in office of metric sufficiency and then this same with defensively. So I would point both sides. The ball were very selfish worth throwback team because we have a different best player almost every single day, and you got your physical ice. He pushed back. Some people may be in the lane free media. Yes, we are saying that you guys aren't physical. You guys, when beat a member very physical, memphis team, a very physical tennessee team wired. Why are people say you guys are soft? Let's, let's change that right now, you it's a physical! It's a great question. I think we're three hundred thirtieth in in the country in height and we're top twenty five and in defensive rebounding percentage. So it's difficult to be soft and do that but I don't know it and especially when you you, you watch our legal aid

you may have they got a high major, big, strong physical group. I do you guys have seen them in your bed in a nor texas is the same way. We ve seen these types of teams in our league. Obviously you still have to go out and put in the way but we're confident we can play any any style and figure out a way to win, or at least be in position, to win your conference juices going for the triple crown you guys are. You know, you've got two teams left in the n. I t you on the cb. I and you guys are in the final four. So it's obviously very good leak at absolutely nuts. It's the best. It's been since derrick rose and calla perry, weren't memphis as far as numbers- and you know you look at the bottom. There's some really good teams in our league that didn't make post season yeah yeah. You said before the tennessee game and we are a big rugby podcast over here that you're going to have to start watching some rugby to get ready for tennessee style play. did you actually watch any rugby? A few

webs. Actually I don't even know I'd seen on twitter that there is a big people are complaining about tennessee spurs accounting. I had no idea what what exactly was, but you know, social media skews our minds. way so neatly after the game they ass. I knew about tennessee and I was more embarrassing. I confused australian rules, football and rugby and bind the sports. I was embarrassed by them. but now I I said it is a joke, and- and if you you, our team team, like a rugby team, I'd say, say: I'd hell, yeah yeah, I love love, and yet it was funny because when you said that minus reaction was one, Kosovo's ball rubies very important sport globally. To it's interesting because it almost remind me of some then fill jackson used to say how he would Yo treat the raft in the media. He'd send a message through the media by you saying that you're, like hey you better call it fair. Next gave no more for arms, no more elbows nothin, like that. I thought that was a good piece of coaching on your part

well. Hopefully it helped, maybe one possession, but that that wasn't why I said I was trying to be funny and and sometimes when, when you're not that funny, and then you try that that's that you get the backlash yeah. So sticking with your run, we were in dayton, we fell in love with fairly dickinson dave, actually called this his shot. He said they're going to beat Purdue and we had the worried that they were actually too short to play. Basketball did you notice that, at all, whereas, like their lack of height, was actually kind of shocking and how much speed they had cause? That was a that was a tight game. They gave you everything Yeah we'll go back the programme as soon as we saw them play taxes southern we said man. This is be tough match up from her do now. We didn't call the wind- and I obviously dave you it wasn't

He was out ahead of that one, but we did think that if things didn't go well for purdue, then they could pull the upset in the first couple of possessions. The big fella missed a couple of hooks in close, and then there are three point: shooters produce three point: shooters looked out of rhythm, so from the from the first couple of minutes it looked like it was going to be a scary game for purdue and then, when we lay them. I was blown away, their team speed and then they just found the rhythm at the right time. You know after play in them and then plain the they did. I ask as a counter this team loose fifteen sixteen games or whatever but then they you know they had a couple of guys were thirty percent shooters or twenty percent shooters have started making three or four threes a game and the heck that could be enough on on on a given night yeah. Are you We are a little happy that pretty went down cause you're hoosier. I didn't. I was just happy that, while I was, I was shocked as the staff are talking about. We were going to be at a double digit favorite to go to the sweet, sixteen

yeah, it was just kind of a joke, but we knew how difficult the game was going to be it's funny after the game was over, we went back to the hotel and you guys were getting in, and dave went up to. Every player in your team is like nobody believed in us. Nobody thought that you guys were after you yeah. I don't think very many people picked us to beat memphis either. I thought they were terribly under seated. I thought they were really good team, especially the last month of the season. They were probably a top five or ten team in the country after drilling houston, then ac championships. So He probably said, then, that I doubt anyone in our travel party that emu at that time even noticed your pickup what up the the indiana connection? I was wondering we're talking about this. On Monday show you came up you're, a student manager with Bobby night when he was the coach of the team. Did he did he give you any tips or is there anything that you ve incorporated into your coaching philosophy, encroaching style? They you got from Bobby night, any

the chair, throwing things like that. Now I try not to throw any chairs but yeah. There's, there's there's not a day. That goes by that I don't use something that I learned from coach night. I don't think people realize how far ahead of his time, he was as far as teaching communicating efficiency of his words efficiency of the young english language, but he also used analytics that we use now that at the time your he's talk about the percentage of defensive, rebounds and and then in these types of things and now their considered that the analytics movement, what he was using a lot of that stuff back. day. So I just think it so many areas. He was ahead of its time aims at unbelievable teacher and just things were a lot different, then than they are now it that's interesting. He said a future where the efficiency of language is

Do you think I like them? His nose was adopted. The noise. Is there anything? I guess it's really interesting because, like obviously, we can see where that would take us with his fiery personality, but also at the same time, I have to mention that as a coach, sometimes less can be more. You don't wanna you don't wanna overdo it with information that that your passing along with no, when a few weeks I have a simpler concept. Might work. Is that fair to side notes number one as a probably software manager, and I was in charge of stats and he asked for a score. There's three teams playing in and as a nineteen year old, you said: hey red has three grey. Has this and he says geez many bob law read to gray five whitewash

and at that point, as you know what I was just mumbling rambling, to say that I was given way too many details or way too much information and then the other one cushion I used to say the word. The f word could be used as a noun verb adjective. So I guess that may be part of that. The efficiency of the english are that the use of the english language yeah. So ah, the ball has been a big point of contention in this tournament. Have your guys complained about it today? They feel different. Ah shooting this ball. We got it's the bottom of the ball. Well, they'd! Add it it's a brand new ball and I don't. I don't think there's a ball made that you can pull out. A box aired up to it's maximum whatever it is, it ain't go out imbalance in and it feels like what you use every single day cause you don't get a new ball every day, so hopefully these the basketballs have been. Used a little bit and are worn down, because I think the newness is the biggest part of it

it seems like we should have one universal ball for college basketball, for every team to use- and I know they use one ball for the ncaas tournament, but every game we go to. We have to practice different. We have a closet full of basketballs. We have to practice with a different one every week, depending on where we're playing. So I would think it's time for for all of us to come together and even if we have to sacrifice a few thousand dollars and our our overall budget to have one basketball for the betterment of the game. Why can't you guys just take all the balls that they're going to be using the fine afford just just practice where those all week. Well, we have accumulated several now and actually we have the game balls from our games and love. Our players came, and yes, your Monday morning to shoot. He said I can. I use these guys that we only have liked to the regular basketballs it would that we purchase. So I said you know what you can use. It doesn't matter the just make sure your brain, the back as they are the get off from and they use for.

sweet, sixteen and elite yeah yeah when what about the stadium, because the nrg stadium? This is a big thing. We talk about you guys, I am sure you guys talk about. We talk about for different reason. Whenever you get into a football stadium and you're trying to shoot. Ah, has your team ever played? Well, you did play in the conference. Usa championship is in jerry. In jerry's world of practice facility yeah. It said the the practice facility. They they they curtain of half of the of the the stadium and there's two courts set up, simultaneous and then so there's curtain behind one side and then they use the stands the other. So it's a big open arena, it's different it's so we probably play in the closest thing to a true football stadium, as anyone play yeah yeah, because it definitely is an issue. I feel like every time we get to the final for speaking to convert usa. Why is jelly walker, the best player you ve ever coasts against,

because we love him, I'm a big, I'm, a big jelly. Walker fan that I am not take anything away from Marquise know well that ok, you're! Ok, I get the state guard manders, these new york city, eyes because usually that the small dynamic guards they they really score, but a lot of pressure on your defence, but no well, he might go get thirty and twenty We felt like we did an unbelievable job on a mini, got thirty and twelve so and then cigarette was can say. I I thought that you watch the Michelin stake, aim and maybe the way off- and I dont know ball, but I thought that part of your game plan was: let's let him shoot more. Let's give a more opportunities to shoot because we'll take a three point shot from him. Instead of him, throwing a perfect pass for uneasy. Lay up her dunk was that part of your game plan with him? It as we wanted to first take away, as many of us have his assist as we could and that we wanted him to take shots at the rim or the mid range we actually wanted. He's he's slightly.

more efficient from three than he is in the paint or from mid range, but his his shots around the three point line are are extremely efficient. Fortunately, he takes some that are really really deep. That skews his his numbers a little bit, but he is he's a special talent and for him to play forty minutes the way he does. I dunno. If we faced a better guard- and I thought kendrick Davis was sensational, jelly walker, tyler perry from north texas was our league's player of the year and they play low possession and he puts a great number. So we face that we faced Antoine Davis, who just came up shy. A pistol pete's record think probably a who's who of dynamic guards this year and when you look across the board, our guys have pretty much made them score efficiently. Almost every time we played the, would you like to apologize to america for for knocking him out for knocking noel out of the tournament? Absolutely not? Okay, that's the right answer those tests, how much of your recruiting technique,

It's just like if you were to split it up between an x percentage, basketball, stuff and x percentage. Look at the beach here's, the beach you're in south florida isn't the beach cool. While we obviously when they're on their official visits, we go to the beach and we eat our meals on the beach and then we do our photo shoot on the beach and we on the beach along beach on the beach. But then once they get here, we condition a couple of times on the beach and other than that we never go to the except we do tell them hey on sundays. If you enjoy joy, the ocean go hang out with it in evenings. As you got you put in your work. If you wanna go, hang out and we even have a couple players it sometimes go at six, a m in red and meditate. We got a serious group that this always look further, the best way for them. So We use it a little better.

Then we sell, as is the perfect whether all year, the blue skies that the quality of life you can wear shorts. You walk around campus and just how much better you feel when the sun is out your item six days out. There's we sell that part of it. The you're going to have more energy, you're gonna feel better because of the natural beauty than that. Then you would go in to wherever, wherever wherever know, who else is recruiting that's good sales pitch. So I read a story that when you signed with her for you you had a moment of regret and it's funny, because we actually we're talking to danny Hurley on Monday show. we had a similar moment where he was like what the hell is going on here. There's a mess. So that moment you cried I use a moment of regret, maybe choke on my water. I did in the media. We just had about one hundred media members and asked me about it. I said what would twenty twenty three to twenty eighteen dusty, make it and I'd say tell him to stop being a big baby can say that

and get to work, so it was just it was overwhelming. I was leaving the complete another happiness and one thing in our business: I've tried not to ever chase anything other than happiness and in professional fulfilment. So but yeah it was overwhelming. At the time I I was very impulsive, signing the contract going too fast and then, when I saw everything I was just overwhelmed in that moment. But luckily my wife has is tough she's, tough as nails. She basically told me that hey this is decision. He made there's nothing. We can do now, you might as well get to work and and by the next day I was in the trenches again yeah. So you mentioned your son. Have you given him? Some shit cause he's a walk on a florida right. Well, we get. We gave him some we went up to florida, beat those guys. So yes, but now he's your his dad's going to the final four I would assume you would have had a roster spot for him Instead, he was didn't, make the tournament

yeah I've, a middle, send its work on it. You see if there was never an option for them to play. For me. Ok, the I've decided that the is the last week there there com, at last so and something that I've I've involved in the b and mild and encourage calm and collected because by nature I met them. That's like a lot of coaches used to be into so. I've still got wish my son's it's hard for me not to be nuts, so my wife said marilla and you'll never coached the boys, no matter how good they are and as a co. She, if you're gonna code, your sons, they there have to be way too good, above your level, or they have to be not good enough to ever play if they're ever in between that grey area, we as soon as you're wasteful like are they like I'll, be pissed? If my dad was in the final four- and I was like- I didn't- I didn't get to go- I wasn't

on the team. Well, luckily, you know, and I'm close with both staffs, I'm fortunate both of them have a place in this game and can be a part of it, but fortunately those both of their seasons were done or done, and so they're traveling with us now and and if you've been awesome, we've taken our families and letting everyone's family share this experience, because that's probably the coolest part other than watch your players put in all this work and in return receive what's what's going on seeing your family, who you drag them all over the country, change in schools, daycares jobs, all that and heck I was obsessed. I would just leave and my wife would have to sell the house organize the moves. Let us have, while raising three three boys absence its awesome, just to be sure that with them here also, you mentioned- you are before we started- taping the euro the sidelines for the buzzer beater florida, verse, wisconsin, sweet, sixteen, ah fuck, you! First of all,

can a ball. I guess tell me what it felt like from your point of view, because it was utter heartbreak for mine in the video. That's in beauty parcels we videotape everything. So I get that swedish to me anytime, that that, like the shot comes up like a tag under it constantly. Would you call that your moment of weakness they get no I still say that when, when we were up nine against juki at halftime of the national championship, that was probably the weakest november, there was a weak moment for sure that was the brian butch team. Now brian butch was a long time ago, no, that was offering Kaminski sam decker. Ok, those guys are per year that that that sought. For me you I mean you have to admit that was lucky. well, do without a doubt with a three. There was cotton.

If the ball were in position to foul, we knock it loose in the back court. I forget the guards they've shown walter grabs it and he hits a floater to send it into overtime, so a floated to go and over time is somewhat lucky and I was sure he made that's all year, so you see. My point is a lot like the miss calls in one of these games were it follows that miss called a detour that the winning team so yeah you give up what we have As a floater to go overtime at a floater to win the game, yeah yeah, they were good shots both of them. I, as a fan of the sport of basketball, I had to take my hat off and see. That's that's just a good. Yeah, you do not arise in course, side added to the yeah yeah sure walter did the discount double check. It is forty cause. You actually just proved your initial point for the first question that, like I do black out the fact that we had a lucky bounce, all I think about is like man we got screwed, so you're right, you're, right. Ok, that makes me feel a little bit better.

did you guys go on to win? Go to the final four that year know we were up big against south carolina all day and literally they shot like twenty five free throws I could have often they had odyssey thorn well and those urine and all those guys ended up. Three. Those guys ended up play an extensive complained that multiple seasons, the nba. So it was a heck of a team and yeah they they found a way to win, but a great run by brutal here's a tip because you know been to a final four I've been to two, and so, if you went on saturday, try not to go to the bar on sunday for fourteen hours cause, you still got a game on Monday noted. Okay, alright, I so that was a mistake I made I made that mistake. I was the day that we constantly duke. I was people. I am I a hotel room being like how am I gonna get myself off the mat here, so

It's saturday, you went to the bar sunday and I'm assuming you were over served. I know I didn't leak hank hanks out in the room right now, but I literally we went to the bar at like eleven am and I didn't go home till two. I was like I'm staying on cause. I was like I may never get back here, which has proven to be correct, but yeah try to try to keep a little something in the tank for Monday no promises, but I'll do I'll. Do my best to eight hours at the bar beer own, no shots. No! Ok, just maybe one shot right when you get there, but then that's it. Then you don t when you're when you're going up against a coach. That's that super fiery like if you were to coach against a danny Hurley. Does it do you step your game up in that situation? Where you see him yo screaming every word under the sun at the refs during the scowl at the refs, do you then have to be like okay? I need to match that intensity, or is it just going to be done

He just dusty is going to be dusty every day, just dust in the wind, I'm going to be me just hanging out not not getting too emotional. It's not, who I am anymore and I'll lose my voice too quickly and then I'll never be able help our guys the rest of the game. Yeah yeah dust is a great name. By the way it is just a fake name, yeah you're you're, born if you're going to be named like skip or dusty you're going to be a coach at point yeah. Was it a situation where the name led you into coaching? No, I hated it. My whole life until I became an adult and then I would meet people in twenty years later they were remember dusty may, and so I was like wow what this is actually pretty cool, my profession that I can meet people and they always remember me, even if I have no idea who they are, so I've actually used it as a positive. I never liked it before. I don't particularly like it now, but I've rolled with it memorable yeah. I think we said it. It's like a porn star from the eighties, why fake, Titus and those guys? I remember that there was a show and it was either. I was a nascar driver, a professional wrestler or a basketball, coach, basketball, coach

arab are an allergy advisory, yeah yeah yeah, that's exactly it! Alright. I have a couple of nerdy basketball questions for you, one is your team is phenomenal, shooting the three you guys play. You know four out five out ah in terms of recruiting like is it as simple as we won't recruit anyone who can't shoot, because you see teams all the time struggle with finding, though shooters and ah how? How does that like? Is that something day one you're building like if you can't shoot? I'm not recruiting, we try not to recruit anyone that can't shoot and if he can't

shoot. Then you have to have one really unique skill. You could be an elite, playmaker, elite passer and we feel like if your lead in one of those other areas, we can find a way for you to be successful. What we've tried to do is take really good athletes who are smart and tough and are good, shooters and feel like because of the work we put into it. Then we can help them become really good shooters. So we feel like we have a group. That's tough athletic strong can guard, but also they are all good shooter or they they weren't good shooters that become really good shooters, but they can also troubled assets as well, which I think that's what makes us unique that they all can put it on the floor and catch and shoot and really defend at a high level. Yeah I mean you'd be shocked with how many teams I feel, like I watch where it's like. No, these guys could shoot. So it's it's refreshing to see a team. It's like you, you can't leave. Anyone open, obviously, is a complete mismatch. Hell for the other team and the other question was the transfer portal, a lot of people Henry about the transfer portal. Oh, my gods can ruin college basketball. You've done a really good job of getting guys from power, five conferences to go to after you. How, like I think, that's the the the beauty of the transfer portal did a lot of people. Don't see that you get the movement both ways. It's not just. Oh, the best guy on Wofford is going to go play at kentucky like you can get guys who maybe aren't getting time at power five to come to effie you what's the pitch there.

Well, anytime, there's a power five. I would just say anytime, because we have three on a roster and two of them were were situations where they're plug and play guys. We need a point guard. Your point guard you're, coming down for a reason, because you're coming down a level because you want to play and be a major, have a major role. Excuse me and then we we had our starting center left to go play professionally in europe a couple of years ago. He had a bad knee, so he needed to start making some money with his career. So we had a starting position open. So we got two of our power. Five guys because we had an immediate need, and so they were plug and play and then the third when Jalen gaffney I'd known him, because we recruited him of florida

and he was just looking for something different when he left yukon and so because of the relationship we didn't need a guard. We had everyone back, but he just wanted to be a part of it and he's been. He he's received. Almost no credit, but he's had is a huge, huge imprint on our success because of his intelligence as as selfishness, and him just wanted to be a part of a really good team. So it's been unique that all three of those guys are major contributors, but I don't think we would bring one end that we didn't think could play a major role because they would be frustrated because they're leaving a lot of nice stuff where they're not planning to go to a place where may not have as nice if we do not plans what about your son he's at a powerful concentrate? Now he enters a transfer portal. I know you said that you're not allowed to coach what, if he just says you know what I'm a transfer it after you do have to resign. At that point,. Why do you say to that? I don't know if it's it's completely healthy to have my son

in the locker room. I have a great relationship with them, but I would never want our players to think that they're telling me what's what's being said in there. I just it lesson: it's the only option or whatever the case. I don't think it's a good fit and I want them to go grow into their own they're, the be their own men develop, who they want to be their personalities and and probably, if they're here, I'm going to have much oversight and control over. You know who they are site. I want them to girl, makes mistakes, learn from them and just decide who they want to be as people the urgency, I see, there's a bunch of stuff written binding on the whiteboard. You have to blow that out, I mean given the competition spirit? It's it's! It's the traits we talked about in recruiting and then also give it to us yeah. Well how recruiters act like being big cat or in your living You guys, obviously have a competitive spirit that umbrel got abba coach forget. Why should you have a beach I'm really into the beach Do we have a big guy? I'm in the first question, I got off each gap, a personal matter

me. I can't shoot at all, but I have a competitive spirit. Would I be a match We were always looking for good fourteenth. Man say: yes, it does close any doors, functional intelligence. You guys are probably out on that one. I get all the functionality. That's not a not a good fit. The word functional completely ruins it yeah basketball skills. know. Ok, I'm the exact same size as murkiest. Oh well. I can give you a look, I'd, be scouting, marquees and then speed physical and mental. I think at the metal speed? You guys were quick with that. I don't think gather the physical speed, so probably not a great

wait for the als. No, no, I type a very important question. I got a couple more questions, but one very important one and you're going to have to start prepping yourself for this, because you've done a great job with her for you, but knowing how the big ten works and knowing how the indian fanbase works. Ah, if you have more success, they're going to just be tweeting that picture of you in a red sweater and being like coach, you want to come home. You want to come home to indiana. What are you going to say to that cause? That's going to happen, I mean they Indiana fans are still asking for Brad stevens to go to Indiana, I'm going to say I absolutely love my time and in that state and the basketball there is a religion that coach woodson has to offer illegal job. They got a great team. They got role women alone. be in here. I don't. I don't know how you could ever leave these guys and this situation from what we built in and the direction were going in the growth of the growth opportunities. Here this place,

it's amazing how fast as university, atheling department are growing, and hopefully this just to speeds up the process. Even more. Ok, good answer, counterpoint closures, the movie a pop at in, and I might check it out dusty and you start crying and then I seal the deal. Well, though, not yet which days I stayed coach goes. I go Is it a coach? I measured the height of the basket at the height of the basket in indiana is the exact same height. it is the the dimensions are the same. Actually a couple of people asked me if I could do that in the in the dome in texas. I'm not, but it reminds me yesterday. One of the reporters asked me how tall are you- and I said, five ten with shoes? Let's make sure we're clear that I would measure myself with shoes. So, yes,

yes, you got you got Tom herman down there, for you too, you guys are building a little good. It's like the new cradle of coaches, down there, Tom herman is one of my favorite college football coaches, because of his longhorn hydration chart that he would post up in in in the bathrooms were a show on a scale of how dark your pie was whether or not you're a bad guy or a good teammate. Has he put those up around any of the athletic facilities

Is he monitoring people's level of urine? Not yet, but I'm I'm it. I am assuming. He he'll monitor big cats on on sunday and between the game. Yes, yes, that's a good call. Alright. My last question rollback question r h, o b, a c k, dot com, great joggers, polos que zips. If you're in Boca, Raton you're trying to golf robach has you covered use promo code take for twenty percent off your first purchase. My last questions. Actually I'm gonna give you another tip, so I'm giving you all my tips, I'm doing a brain dump for you and I do watch a lot of college basketball. Ah, usually when San diego state's down like seven or eight, the game is over, I'm going to tell you right now: that's not the case this year cause there's been multiple times in this tournament. Where I've been like, oh they're done, they won't be able to find seven or eight points, so don't think that you've won if you're up like twelve for knows a celebratory dances before the buzzer sound. Yes, yes, because they're differ

their different. This time it confuses my brain there. Some teams was constant virginia. Some of those teams like if you open up a ten point, led there's. No, they can't score that many points, so we have a temporary led. How early can I break out and into the gritty o think? Maybe like a minute and a half hours ghosts they had it have yet to have it about. Ten years ago the I make a free choice. You gotta make your free throws that's the big thing I have to make your free throws. That's the I stress out all the time. Do you get simulate like as they they they found ways to win just about every night and a lot of a lot of nights? It looks differently, but man they're they're, a good basketball team. Do you get simulate pressure in practice when it comes to shooting free throws? Is there anything that you do to turn up the heat on guys and see? You know, okay you're under the gun right now go shoot your free throws in and see what happens.

Now we have competitions. We try to do everything we can to add a little bit of pressure, but our guys, now being a veteran group, they've been in these game moments so many times. I think you just once you're in it. You know how it feels you know how to prepare better so because of our guys have been in these situations so many times I think they're they're more comfortable than that. A lot of younger teams, yeah yeah, well dusty! Thank you so much. We appreciate the time. I am upset that you mentioned that florida thing with the buzzer beater, that's going to put me in a little bit of a spiral for the rest of the day, but that's okay. Rooting for you and works, I to see live in, Houston were get get the owls ready to go, and maybe yet do to do that to you. You can go viral. If you just do the the tape measure for the for the basket like you should do that, I consider okay that that that's why I do this for an opportunity to go viral yeah yeah, exactly why that's I mean isn't that the goal of all coaching go physical.

Go back? I also you what you did to you I'd be in the conference championship game. That was mean that was too much you got. That was too much. I was watch it yeah. Of course, I watch it and I love jelly and I was like I think then I think you would be was up like fifteen to fourteen and then the next thing. It was like a twenty point led forever. You and you got everyone off the sent to because you guys were better at large team, but you win the conference usa in everyone's like out just one of those seen elsewhere. Conferences that it's an auto bid. So I guess that worked in your favor. It did. I was because I didn't want to lose, but if we did, we did it'd mean it would mean two conference. Usa teams got it in the same year, cause that you ain't been or texas. There are other teams that work that are are good enough to be playing in the tournament you're not goes it. If you, you lose one game here, one game there and not she out there so yeah that was not nice, jelly walkers, my guy, so lonely, search and others about every go. Accept your policy are now coach best

lock and are looking for the savary rush joint show, thanks guys

Even if you're, not a golfer, you can go to Topgolf have a great time. It's like you're playing a video game in real life loved hitting off the top deck to nothing better, going to topgolf at night hitting off that top deck feeling like driving at three hundred fifty yards. I love topgolf they've got food and beverage. The only place that you can play around and then order another

It's golf, it's not golf. It's topgolf download the app book bay and come play a round, and now professor kirk Godesberg another something completely different. Okay, we now welcome on our very good friend. It is Kirk olds berry. We are in his ah classroom. We just finished teaching his business class at the university of texas. So let's start there, how do you think we did because we have to be the dumbest, it was pft hank and I and we have to be.

the dumbest people ever to teach a business class. I don't think that's true, but my students were thrilled to have you guys in our classroom. It means a lot that you guys would come here and they all love. Your show. Your show is very popular at the university of texas and I think we we saw that in class today, with the enthuse He and t always receives. Hang you joining. We appreciate you having us. Nobody offered us an honorary doctorate or draw our drugs, which will we get on the road? Can you give us? Can you give us an honorary, honorary doctorate? Yeah, I think, you guys are almost honorary doctorate stage. Honorary mba has been stowed upon both you and I don't have the authority to do that, but the cisco with regulation, so it was great, you are we loved being here. But I will say at the end, I asked you a question and you basically cut the entire class short because I think

like the scene when they pull back the curtain on wizard of oz. I asked simply: do you kirk golds, very think that you took part in ruining basketball because we do at her Basketball is my favorite thing in the world. The fact that people would even say that big cat? it's my heart, but you you're one of the first people to point out. That is more than two yeah. Well three as more than two and mid range shooting has gone down and we ve helped sort of illustrate why that is. But man, as I said to my class Kevin durrant, great longhorns, back and action this way, What are you gonna turn of it he's a great longing? much into your home lying on them. Vp using cap is for what for monkey keeps going back down. a part of the programme, but I love the mid range shooting and kevin is, is breaking the math right now. If his mid range is arguably having the grew greatest mid range season in the history. Since we've been tracking this for twenty five years and he's breathing life into it and his beauty,

will the watch. So how do you do the? How do we bring back midst? You just need or Kevin durant, more guys who are all Demar to rose and chris Paul guys who can make that shot at a forty eight fifty percent clip like those dudes kevin's. Almost sixty percent right now is increased. wait. So what is the actual math, where it's mid range shot, is more valuable than a three point shot like if someone shooting thirty eight percent from three year? What's the matter further, The two, so an average mid range shot is worth about. Zero point. Eight points cause they go in forty percent of the time. There were two points, an average three point shot goes and thirty five percent of the time that gets you to one point: zero five, so a last paint shot. And how can I explain it eight in threes, are each worth a little over one and mid range sit here at zero point. For the league, another exceptions that room we just went through Kevin, Paul George. What do I run is worth what does Kevin durant's miserably

it's a great question. So right now, it's funny because an average kevin durant, mid range shot is gone in sixty percent of the time. Pre close the shooter, which brings it close to a really good three point. Shooters number, and so Kevin is and by the way, not take an easy one sees, notably in the face of the best defender. Their opponent can put and he still doing it and in its he's having an incredible season. We just hope you can stay healthy because it's it's so unique to watch in Devon book or on his team. Chris Paul, honest. the phoenix islands this year have a chance nine when the championship doing it. In the mid range is put mickey's doing the same thing there with the nets, be a massive massive decent if Chris Paul and the sun's did not win the championship ryan rasulo. I you guys know huge chris Paul guy oaths spam. Guy and lunged backs big thing own behind listen. This is good because I'm not rooting for the sons and you are you famously came on the show and told us, the the brooklyn. That's have the greatest off once you ve ever seen your entire life

and then I'll twinning strongly not third yeah kevin. It actually tried to carry them. Carry you got anti semitic like a lot of things happened since then. It's crazy think back. It was twenty twenty one, and I remember Kevin was carrying that tv was any was he had? Is you're makin, seven anyhow toll on the line? You know you after that, on as a heater moment there, She was going in, and I was looking at his feet and I was on tv. I wasn't there not big shot like you bit cap, but dude I mean we're that close, even without the injured players that year, they were very close. The bucks obviously end up going on to to win the championship and they're a great team too, but yeah they were. They were pretty close, but you know that's: that's the league or dismantled. Yes. If a game was played on a spreadsheet, they would be the best team ever symbols. They would beat the dream team, definitely, dreams team beat them. Have you got back and tried to quantify the dream team and just how good all I know about them, as they never took a time out, they never used when the thing

in ninety ninety two dream team, as they were obviously a great assemblage of of american talent, Michael Jordan, magic johnson, Larry bird larry matter at the end sign are obviously shaka eyes. Thomas wasn't there. I don't know, I don't know why, but the thing that changed since then the most in that thirty or forty years since then is the world is caught up in twelve years later manage anomaly. My friend from the spurs beats team. You say in athens and now you know it team you. and getting much worse were still very, very good, but you? U dont, go into the ninety two olympics. Thinking you're gonna lose

I go into this paris olympics you're, going against a french team. That's going to have london yama go, bear nick, but tomb like a five five starting m b, a players on their home turf and you're, like oh, my god like we could legitimately lose yeah yeah. So alright, so let's talk a little mba yeah. Let's do it. I withdrew the west first because it is absolutely chaotic I was like. Is there any team that you confidently? Can erin say I feel good about them having to like the at least the conference finals. No, it's the weirdest season. It's just the weirdest conference season. I've ever seen period mean you look at it to me, big cat. It's the unproven teams who have deserved the top three seeds. You have memphis, which has their issues danvers. The very top in sacramento and then on the bottom half you have the illuminati. You have here, steph, curry, Kevin durant, kawhi leonard, braun James right

outside. If you look at whose one the final assembly peace for the last ten years, the guys I just named have one most of them and their now sitting in the bottom, half of the western bracket against unproven teams of top. So all of my friends in the mv a meteor going to have okay. So let's say the warriors nuggets in eight one: it's like well, if you believe the regular season, then If we're going to wipe the floor here, the warriors can't win on the road, but if you believe in steph curry and draymond green and klay thompson, Steve curry, you can bake. So nobody knows what to trust. If you believe, like the last five ten years n b, a basketball, the teams on the bottom half have a legitimate chance. If you believe what we've seen all season, it's denver sacrament. On memphis I tend to side with the players. I think there's gonna be some upsets in these first round series and if you're Denver sacramento after these great easy, steph colonel upon james. I now us round what a bummer blair I was. I was reading your article, your most reach what about just issues on defence, and actually I shouldn't. I should press.

Supposing I didn't read the article I read the first three paragraphs before it became yes, plus only not better. I read at first last two senses as it was fading out. I just read his instrument. Cash ok, so oxygen or you hate yogurt gets he gets dumped on all the time. I shall be plenty, I'm honored. That story did really well for us, it is p m, but it was really cool because was the first time one of my articles was labeled a hatchet job. I am your coat yeah, but you have to use a number mike Malone called it a hatchet job, and I was like these are just facts. I'm writing, but in reality, on march tenth Nikola Jokic went to san Antonio's, big favorite. In this viral video emerged, you guys probably saw that it was all over the mba internet on twitter is just yolk. It's layup line spurs guys just beating them the most points. Any rim protectors given up all year, I went and looked at a bunch of numbers and he's giving up more points per game on lapses, the closest defender of any player in the player tracking air, which is now ten years, and so I brought that up because it's in the heat of this this

chance for the nuggets to finally get out of the western conference for yogesh to be a three time mvp, and I didn't think it was a loud enough part of the conversation so was just like hey guys. What about this and that's the hatchet jogger label for, but in all seriousness, when I look at the empty peeress, Nicole yoke, adjusts defence is a big sort of consideration that thinks the it'll be about the offense. If he is that rembert yeah, so the other two guys are incredible defenders. Jonas, is my favorite defender in the world. The bucks have one of the best defenses in the league, and I think the sixers are currently ranked sixth in defense and and beads a huge part of that right now. Meanwhile, Denver's middle of the pack are mediocre and of the sixteen playoff teams. If you look at denver's performance in defense of the last three years, they rank twelfth twelfth and sixteenth. In the last three years it's been their demise and yolk it's. This is really important.

hunters have an outsized importance like quarterbacks on offense and football centres on defense in basketball. Tell me who your center is and I'll tell you how good your defenses in the mv a Is there any historical basis for teams that our middle, the pack on defence, elevating their game in the playoffs, though, unlike turning it on, like, I think, one of the late sort of chubby shaq era, lakers teams, as he played himself into shape like during the regular season, was, was middle of the pack on on defense, but it was shaq by the time the playoffs came around and it was a problem, but it is so fascinating because the mba I love the n b, a playoffs. I obviously like it's it's my it's one of my favorite. I love basketball, but the regular season feels like it doesn't mean as much and what more than anything any other sport it's like similar to hoosier your centre, it's like who you're starting five and the players, because you can win a lotta games in the regular season. Trying

bit harder, like you know, getting people on off nights, but then, when you have to play in the playoffs, it's like who's going to be playing in the fourth quarter, who's going to get stops that city are in these two sort of unproven teams in the west ran out are our near the over indexing betting odds right like if you look at the the golden state warriors who are terrible on the road while they're starting five, if they can get them together. If wiggins comes back is like the numbers are great and we saw it last year, they're pretty good and then the phoenix team is. oh. They have come and around now I all the regular season numbers so I went out and get this is like it's starting to feel more like the It shall write like whose ha yams healthy during this stretch run. Is that just the reality for basque? Will that sort of scenes with the western conferences, the eastern conferences, sort of more normal in its it's. The old pat riley, which is like one of my favorite, quotes about m b, a basketball. It's it's an arch start. Was it plate, trust eight?

yes or no trust. Seven play a short selling player, yeah yeah right, like you're you when you get to the play off, there's you're gonna play seven guy That is really what it comes down to four minutes and I think some of these teams, like the lakers or another good example. That was not who this team was in october or november december. If Leubronn, I D, show up healthy with these guys they got at the trade debt. I like the regular season legitimately doesn't matter. I do in the EU s plan so as if the lakers, when one game everyone on he s, parents like watch out for me, yeah, but we also saying let them greece should win in the playoffs which I like, because I want to disappointed in le. If they lose in the play off, it's there. It's their championships, lose its it's what you just said: lebron James and eighty aggregated focus just think about those two days. I do think the lakers are very setting out what I was saying is denied their bad. The regular sees identity is bad.

Be not indicative of who they are going into the play us like they haven't been healthy and they haven't had all these supporting pieces. They're playing great deepens. Simply one of the better mba teams in the last fifteen aims or so, and that was without leubronn for a vast majority that their scary, better without dude

brought know, they're, definitely not better with, or they did a lot at. The trade deadline, big cat that made them a dangerous team and to your point they have seven or eight dudes that can play playoff basketball, shoot threes, defend they kind of resemble- and I know where you guys are gonna go with this. They resemble the team we saw on the bubble like they're, physical, they're, stronger and and they're playing, great defense and and and they take like one hundred and fifty more free throws in the next team. I dunno. If you saw that stuff, yeah they're physical, too, that's what it is. But I'll say this. You know what it is. I think the dominant trait of this mb a season guys is it's wide open and I know I think, that's more fun and we saw it and nobody knows who

when the thing with a bronze legacy is for eight years in a row, we knew the eta conference play off. Review is pretty simple yet and riots the calves rates they require. Whatever, like what I love about this year, is that man, nobody has a good feel through come out either side. We respect the kings on this park. Ass by the river

In fact we know everything about them. I just wanna hear from you why other people out there should also respect the kings, because we we definitely do this in word. Often, these dudes are score more points at a higher rate than anybody and they destroy really good defenses in big moments, and it's not a fluke I mean if fox is a bonus or just the chemistry couldn't be better, that Kevin herder, who the guy from Atlanta has emerged as one is like this. This klay thompson light like a catch and shoot threat who spaces it out and then they just are fast and young and smart and what they aren't his defense or the haters case against the kings is, is, is on the other side of the court, which is weird cause MIKE brown. Their coach built his reputation as this defensive genius. So you know one of the stats guys that I I know and be a team has won the championship with a defense that is ranked eleventh or worse in the regular season a very long time and they are not checking that box. The denver nuggets are not checking that box, so that's yeah. I mean that makes sense because it really does like when the game slow down in the fourth quarter, and it's a half court game. It's like you, gotta get us, though yeah and there's no bad teams to you. You get exposed if you play jonas in a seven game series or if you, if you play lebron and a d in a seven game series, and you don't get stops like they're, going to smell blood and they're, going to just destroy you over and over again Chris Paul, like these players, luka doncic, you know, whoever makes it is like you can't cover up.

deep lukas about defender yeah, I want I'll actually want you to do in advance that how many points luke gives up complaining calls on the other end up. So I went to euro basque and wants to play for slovenia, which was awesome by the way like watching international basketball in europe, but I came home being like this. Guy is just given up so many fast break point. I can talk about hockey. There's a power play yet evan times again, because it's five on four cause he's back on the land. I know that events that how many times too many times look it up for it good about. Where we about the opposite of yoke, which which would be really go, bear minnesota bureaucrats, people are respecting. The timber was not for thirteen. The czechs deepens box

Why aren't we talking more about the timberwolves as a society yeah as a society? I think it's it's a conversation. We need to have more of pft and I think you guys provide a platform where we can talk about the minnesota, timberwolves and feel comfortable just just make it so that our listeners in Minnesota they've had a tough time. Probably as long as they've been live with their sports, or is this year the timberwolves can win. At least

one post season series. This has nothing to do with pfcs or not oh yeah. I forgot that I had that massive future on them, so the whereas the timberwolves are is the short answer. Is yes, but you gotta watch these matchups and what's happening in the lower half of the western bracket. Right now is chaos like you. Could I dunno who's going to be the six seven eight nine ten eleven, it's all jumbled up if they get minnesota emissary, if they get a team like Memphis or if they get a team like sacramento or denver? Of course they can everybody's unproven. They played pretty well in the playoffs last year and they got a chance they're playing well now, to my opinion, I think most people think the very good coach, Rudy gobert, Anthony, edwards or or or pretty good players, but it's going to be a matchup dependent thing. They got a chance who should who should minnesota fans be rooting?

for them to match up against the first round. Would it be Sacramento? You know what I think. That's the normal! That's the obvious choice. Everybody wants sacramento because they're sacramento and like they haven't been good in our lifetime. Like cities like la di di voss, was there and- and this is their first time in the playoffs- congratulations them it's one of my favorite stories light theme I mean they were almost they almost moved and everything. That's a die hard group of fans that deserve yeah, and I don't roast people on on social media as much as you guys, but I I did like make fun of light the beam when it first came out. I made some stupid joke like well they're not going to need a lot of energy to fuck, and I was like in one of their coaches texted me who I worked with at the sport.

Like if you were gonna, get it together and sure enough. They did, and I am happy to see I love it. I want that team in that city. To be great, that said, I do think whether you time are the lakers. You talk about the warriors. You talk about the timber wolves, the team in the lower half they might be taken, sacramento cause our defence of libya and also delhi, delhi's plus mises. Sixteen winds this year over what they had last year. It intangibles who brought that would be fucked up, though of was the kings in the layers of the playoffs and leubronn got all the calls at suggest. That would be heartbreaking. Around a lot has happened, show as my friend likes to call. It assesses the that that will bring back memories, but it's cool to have that that they're in the other. The other interesting thing that could happen is: is golden state plying Sacramento, which is like a regional thing there. Ninety minutes appear to be like this cool thing for northern california has so east couple thoughts. One is

It feels like the box. Are it feels like last year they had Khris Middleton injury, he's he's getting back he's starting to play a little bit better. If the bucks have everyone healthy, it feels like they. It's like almost like a defense of their title and twenty twenty one, and is that fair to say that's where I'm at, because you know last time they were healthy, they got there and they want it, and so they deserve that respect. Boston deserves respect philadelphia. The thing is, the east lie deserve respect. I'll. Tell you I'll, tell you: what's going on, the east is sort of the new west like for the last twenty years. The west was stacked and that's why, when I worked with the spurs, it's like, oh my god, we're playing like Chris Paul in the first round,

wonder whatever it is. It's like there's a seven seater where the seven seat and like that's where the east is right now, so it's cleveland is playing very good. Yeah philly is really good. The knicks are fun, I mean you know, but I keep coming back to Milwaukee jrue holiday. Scored. Fifty points he's their third option right. You know when brook lopez is playing. Defense, like he is they're impossible to score on in the paint and jonas is the most terrifying help defender in the league, like the best free safety in basketball, can guard anyone and khris Middleton, as you said, is just gives them another threat to get a bucket and when they did when they wouldn't have won without him right when they did when he got so many late game, buckets that Jonas, like if there's a limitation yawns his game, his late game, execution yeah, they deserve to be the favorites. They have the best record without chris lot of the year and I think they they deserved to be the favorites come out of. These

hague is sitting over here. He actually has been pretty honest. That he's a maybe, not nervous, but something has been off with the celtics. What is what has been off? You know they've, really leaned into shooting a lot of threes this year and when those threes are going in, they look. That's your faulty either. That's your earlier for horse lie. There should, in all these

no idea, but like in october or november, they were making all of forty percent up and down the roster, and then they they stop going in their office of efficiency tanks and they start losing and an enormous wada games, but enough them a walkie catches up, and you know I think at worst. There often depends a lot on three points using and jason tatum isolation, and it doesn't always work in, and I think that the office is the thing to watch their in a play off series against defences like cleveland, potentially in the box. No weaknesses on those defensive teams did, he might not get easy threes, jason tatum. I have a hard time and and look all due respect to the celtics. I think they deserve to be the second favoured to come out of the east, but I see a match up with no walkie in and right now. I think a lot of us would take

fucks this timer yeah yeah. Let's talk women, yama, say his name right. We should pronounce his name differently or notice on Wednesday's. Show that you guys might have said it, but don't make me say yeah, so so is he actually as different as we're being told that he's one of the tallest prospects in history and he can shoot threes like lying? That he's shorter? No, I'm serious he's like Kevin durant doesn't want to be. A seven foot depends on where you measure and and me and pfc are big. I hike and I think we're going to bring that into the combine in Chicago. Maybe you guys will be there for the combine, yet the I hate thing I think his eyes or seven to off the ground as right. I don't know if he's he's one of the tallest prospects around the thing that need people need to talk about with him is the defence he's ease defence of efficiency, and can I think he can gourd? Almost anybody in the legal basis is the tank. Nobody.

trying to shoot against a guy like that I'd down like a pot. Fifty I would want he gets bull bullied by sunlight. Six. Four, three hundred pound latvian do just put his ass and to me one gimme, when our you'd be heard. This is simply a deep cut, bf even kenny, often last year for its summer leg is the big hole, oh yeah yeah, I loved, took it to check their heads and it was exactly what you guys are described. I see. Welcome to this general stir. Kenny attitudes on the map is grossly ok, I love his game. He has he he would have been the best player and, like ninety ninety three for a long time,

gentlemen, I thought he was related to night to baseball cutting off in the baseball game played hoops years. Own too is really good and he has the best they must use. Physique, like I don't think, they're relate acts getting off. There was a sick out. He was the better like, like anything that he shot like like ten feet out. It will just role gray every archer round the room, the great player but yeah, I think women yama is- is the most high prospect. Arguably, since the braun james and a lotta has to do with the ace ralph samson, with a three point shot, if that's too old school of reference can help, because it's been that long since we had somebody,

that toll that we've been this excited about an mba, maybe I'll make so my theory- and you can I dunno, if you're able to answer this, but I think the spurs have gone to the perfect position. This is like pop's masterpiece and he thought to himself. I want to leave a legacy here, yeah we're in a position where we could win the lottery and get one but beyond that from France. You know and then got it right then, and then I bow out. I leave. Maybe I take a front office job. This is my last season. I've put us in the exact right position and now I'm out the futures in your hands right now from your lips to god's ears as a spur for life. I love that idea that they would get him. He has connections to tony parker and boris Diaw. The spurs have been very good with international players for a long time. It does sort of fit poetically, but one thing people don't

He lives, even if you're, in that very low category, they don't have a fourteen percent gas and the lotteries wrecked yeah. Isn't it a road or if the lottery was rigged? Where does where does David stern want women to go? san. Antonio right, I mean, like you, said it's the best story, so let's speak it into existence. I've! I've! Let myself believe this that they're going to be like hey the bulls, are never getting out of this stuck in mediocre ville like roster. Let's frigate, I would look you know, I knew you guys were looking forward to some time in chicago, but man I miss going to big time.

Basketball in chicago without fanbase day one. It would be great story and you, you actually are part of Adam silver's like little in inner circle, so you probably will regulate your. You know how you guys do the the ping pong balls yeah. I know how to do that. Yeah have you ever got it and I've never tried. He goes. GonNA. Try try our industry here we go so for watch on the youtube. I have a one to one hundred written on the board and I will circle. It have the number that I'm picking and kirk is not looking at the board and he's going to guess. Hank is looking at the board and he's furious. I'm going to use him when he is on my cosmic strategy. I can't see it. I suppose I'm not supposed to say when do I guess he's thinking about writing. He has not circled yet he's going up down left right. Okay, he's got it big cat. I'm gonna use a grateful dead reference here because I was, I know, you're dead, deadhead, I'm a deadhead we've we've bonded we're going to go to all these shows together. I was listening to the grateful dead channel on sirius network

One of my favorite shows is the egyptian. They play the pyramids nine. Sixteen seventy eight and I'm going to go one of those numbers. Let's discuss. Seventy eight. I feel seventy eight ha. Are you serious? Oh god, are you certain? He did it. It was literally gone. He did it yeah. Obviously that is what I didn't tell him. I just thought we would never rig this. What I didn't tell them anything could so easily just say we. I even think he was gonna wanna guess what did you say? What do you say? max yeah. What about it? Reflecting off the disease angle, to celebrate someone else, And look away things like it's, I I can see them affliction

in a rainbow reflection, yeah man, there's no chance, don't take this away from Kirk did that he nailed it can't see. It can't see it I almost I almost sixteen yeah. So there you go it was it was yeah. I mean it's that easy. Alright! Last sorry, not sorry dude. That was incredible. He he just got it and you have never gotten it. Okay, he's just he's. Only sorry last question would you have to was too little march madness excited you've been watching yep who's winning at all. Well, my beloved longhorns gave the miami hurricanes IRAN and and credit to Jim Lehrer and agha, who we all adore. It's hard, I root against the guy. I found a way cause. The longhorns were playing them last weekend, but these dudes were making shots man for me, it's it's either miami or or yukon, who seems to be one of the mortality. Don't respect you don't respect the little guys. I mean honest,

my I ve been waiting. My whole life for this final forges chaos, five seeds, nine seeds like whatever and in it floated languedoc wins like that's like my childhood dream coming true, like every citizen oriented, you may get a bracket you're like no way this is going to happen. That would be the cool story that could happen right as yet, atlanta, common, thirty, seven and three they would be if they wanted all yeah. I know, but I think the more talented teams which don't always come out on top or or or yukon and miami I mean, I know you guys are going down. What are you looking forward to I I mean I have a future on yukon. I just am worried miami. They might just make ever shot Cindy, actually have been oh sinew sailing like in IRAN. The idea when there, when you have here like the lengthening, let us is in the habit of korea, know that there's a lot of like. Oh, these guys were the euro med majors, but I would not be shocked if any of these

The great mountain, great that's coming to coming to that I might well people were getting upset about it's like you, guys got eliminated from the hours ten hours like. That's? U have to save the sending of statesmen tremendous! It's been a great tournament. I just want to say, like I found myself like really watching games and getting into this year, and I think the chaos helps yells of the thing. I'd say against is like a kind of miss some of the blue blood. In the file for know me. I got your snob, I dont know if I'm a snob last year was a little extreme on that site was villain over kansas here and then, of course, north carolina and two into somebody, Canada. Yes, a paper up there Have you heard the good we're getting we're getting hosted a year and a virtue they put him in the great. You can say that if you can't wins, they might become a blue blood. That's a good point I got yukon is is potentially I'm not on the blue blood committee. I don't know yet

Us is what I want change temperature boy I do now in the last twenty four year. I would give them here. That's all raising that's crazy and then the next causes do. Can you see both have three in the last twenty four years? Bluebell? Yes, a blue! I think this is the blue blood fund, for they have a chance to to become what is it? What was the name of a disease that you get if you're a few even feel, yet they have an opportunity gain hemophilia, healthy, rather less blue blog. That actually I didn't know that on fact, I have one last question marks about us, and this is my I've. An old man take that I love to to bring out any time alabama NATO's and is stupid. Gino spreadsheets falter and the tournament out with their boats promise yeah. They got. That is their biggest problem. Do you think, there's anything be said for a team that shoots only threes and lay ups to struggle and big moments from the free throw on they dont practice mid range. I think in the nba, what we ve seen is quite leonard and Kevin Orient really excelling in these tight bases that in the play off

The mid range does seem to be where the biggest shots happen, whether that's jordan's biggest shots, but I don't know, but there is a getting there's. A virtue to the mid range and yeah I might free throws suffer. Brandon Miller did not have a good tournament and there's all sorts of jokes, but the bottom line is. I expected that player to cause the way he played in the scc tournament. I expected him as an m b, a sort of prognosticator to come out and continue that isn't that team to go a lot further than they did they struggled. I don't you can't put that in a spreadsheet know, find out he's in diff.

The type of self run, yeah. Alright! Well, Kirk! You have one last question yeah I was that there's another way that basketball has been ruined. I don't necessarily think that this one is your fault, but the the game, a vacation of the free, throw line, people getting these cheap, fouls. James harden, you know, jumping into people drunk, but they found an inefficiency that wasn't there before. Is there a way? Mathematically to fix that make free throws worth point. Seven five points yeah. I think dean smith famously said the best place to score on the free, throw line or on the basketball court is the free throw line, and I think it took like a little too long for basketball players to really figure that out. I blame the the european soccer countries that taught us how to flop.

on a job. We're gonna tell you just say it's. Our james horn frames hearted bringing that italian strategy into a pro basketball. These perverts are really smart play. Nothing elevates the expected viable possession more than a whistle if you're in the bonus or if you have a two shot fell. Coming away its but are free, throws too easy yeah. I think they are removed back. You know it your guys is that the college basketball has one one and then, when you make millions of dollars to she free thrust, we we don't need you to take one on one, Bring the one on one to the mbs. Think that's one thing we could do to actually increase the risk for some of these. These guys you're going to get zero points on the possession. If you don't make that front it yeah Eric line for these colleagues, the tournament. Oh yeah, that's you re wrong. What was the end of the game cindy?

estate, yes or no, it was a two shot mall, but if it was one more, but it was a shooting felt and whatever we can get on a call, but now how terrified? When that second one was terrified. He made the second one yeah I like to tell Adam silver that yeah MR silver, MR to rig it for the bulls, alright, well kirk. Thank you.

You thought he was talking about accuracy that alright pure, that My firefox is that I thought and hank was using a fog machine. He was actually smoking weed, which makes me very cool in addition to that. It is opening

hey. So I retold the of the story. My dad pumping me on opening day april, fool's day back when I was in elementary school, where he picked me up from school, gave me my glove drove out of the parking lot and then told me April fools and maybe go back to class, and people pointed out the terrain in the bathroom at school and people. Will people pointed out something I didn't realize there haven't been any opening day, orioles games on April fool's day throughout the entire ninety, so I went back. I looked at it, this mother fucker. his dad pulled an April fool's prank on me on April. Second, oh, that's illegal, a full twenty four, so not elite. So not only did he make me go back to class, but it wasn't even April fool. He was just like. He must have done something devious. He pulled a psych on me. He just psyched me. You must have done some dubious shit. I don't know

I don't know what I did to deserve it it's funny in retrospect, but yeah. It does make it worse. Finding out that not only was it was it a park, but it was also just not even April fool's day, as that does suck are.
