Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey, how about this deal thatwe talked about a little bit last week
looked like it may be all butdone with NBC where they have they have
purchased the rights to the NBA onNBC for like two point six billion dollars,
and that doubles the price that TNThad it at one point three billion.

(00:23):
So Charles Barky has an out ofthat deal. And maybe the way
that we watch basketball and the waythat we consume our information after the games
is going to change. Could beyou know, I think it's interesting.
Ernie's not leaving, so they havethe right to match. I should say,

(00:48):
yeah, TNT does, TNT hasthe right time, but if they
don't, and that's basically double Yeah, what they're paying. Everything I was
reading this morning is the expectations theywill not. Yeah, that's that's that's
my understanding as well. So Ithink it's fascinating because too many times in
our in our business, people thatthink they're smart feel like they can just

(01:14):
you know what, Okay, yeahhe was really good. We just plug
in. This guy will be reallygood. And I know the other guy
is really good, but this guyis going to be really good, and
he's less money and they try tomake that blank work and you know what,
it comes back and it blows upin their face. And so I
don't I don't have any idea whatthey'll do, but I think if you

(01:34):
don't keep that group together that hassuch great chemistry, and even with Ernie,
I mean, Ernie is smart enoughto understand that the show is Barkley
and Shack and to a lesser degree, Kenny, so he lays out,
keeps him on track. He's he'sreally smart in his his understanding of his
role. But if they say,well we've got Barkley and he's going to

(01:57):
go to CBS, I'm telling youCharles is really good. But it's going
to depend on who the other twodudes are and who that host is and
does he understand his roles? SoI don't know. And then the type
of the type of the type oflanguage and the type of you know,
the type of content that you createdoesn't necessarily go on you know, syndicated

(02:24):
network television like it does cable.It's a much different you know, it's
a much different set of rules whenat least it was when you deal with
cable versus dealing with dealing with networktelevision, and when you have the same
network television rules that you that apply. When you know all the other programming

(02:45):
is going or will will because it'slate at night, you get to you
know, beat Charles Barkley. Ithink I think you and I and now
would hear yesterday, but you andI talked about it yesterday. Did we
determine do they have next year Tand T? Or is it this year?
Okay? Then then judging from thereports from people that get inside information

(03:06):
and normally are more right than wrong, the T and T is not going
to have basketball mixt year. That'swhat it looks like. That's what it
looks like. Have college. They'llhave some sort of college of course,
right, but but they've got somethey've got some of the tournament games.
But again, they've been the hubfor a while. I mean them in
ESPN have been. I feel liketo you guys, I mean, does

(03:27):
that even I mean, I'm like, just because they have the broadcast rights,
does that mean that you're going towatch the post game and still get
the same analysis. Yes, Ithink you're going to sample it and see,
like, let me let me seewhat these Yeah, I mean depends
if Barkley's smart. He's got theout in his contract that if if the
NBA leaves, I can leave aswell. I'm sure there'll be a bidding

(03:49):
war for him. But if hegoes, I mean, I want to
see who he's paired with and howlong does it take them if they ever
get to that point of being asentertaining and point as they are right now.
I think your point though, aboutshuffling or sometimes taking what you think
is a very successful product, insplitting it up and saying, hey,

(04:09):
we can find ways to make thiswork and recreate that magic, doesn't work
as often very that way. Isee. I agree, and I think
more times than not, the peopleto make those decisions wind up doing something
else in a couple of years,right like you couldn't have seen the writing
on the wall a year and ahalf or two years ago to go ahead
and extend that right now? Andwell, the CEO of the parent company

(04:30):
that owns TNT, and I can'tfor Murdoch, no, no, Murdoch
is Fox. But TNT is ownedby who is that? I can't think
of that? But the CEO reportedlybecause I read it, it's owned by
Warner Brothers brothers. Okay, theCEO made the comment, and I don't
know exactly when this was we don'tneed NBA basketball, We don't need the

(04:54):
NBA to be successful or something likethat. Wow, which on face value
has to be one of the tendumbest things. Even if you felt that,
why would you say that publicly?It lessens your negotiating position. I
mean, you got to say itjust to show, Hey, you know,
screw the NBA, we don't needOkay, well, then you're probably

(05:15):
going to be doing something else intwo years too. Yeah. I don't
know, I don't know why theywhat even what the fact that? Yeah?
I mean that, Yeah, Imean it's just just dumb. I
mean that show is man, Iget it now. We've all been part
of shows where people say, whatwere you thinking lead that show together?
Yes? Indeed, I yes,you have Yeah. And if finally we

(05:43):
finally came to the point at fourten, if memory served, it was on
May fourteen, that's when it allcame to the point. I remember listening
to the best radio of my life, man, listening to you and Scott
here on these airwaves, and thinkingthat I want to do that one day.

(06:03):
I mean, it was just sucha great show. The sportsho was
just you know, it was instrumentalin me and uh getting my my broadcast
nerves up to to the point whereI can at least crack a mic.
I mean it was great radio.I mean it was. It was the
reason uh you know, especially doinglike I just remember doing t REX,

(06:26):
just driving from the facility all theway down the boulder and listening to you
guys all the way home. Man, it was just great radio. Always
fantastic comment uhuh commentary, and myman Patrick was great on the show with
all of yeah Chick mcgilla cutty.I meant it was an ensemble. Juli

(06:48):
Julie was a producer. Yeah,man, I mean that was great man.
I mean that was a fantastic timein my life. I mean just
some of the best radio period.But then you know again, and then
I'll stop because we've been on thisfor a minute now. Then uh,
you try to reinvent the wheel.You try you know what you try to
You try to come up with somethingand be the smartest person in the room.

(07:11):
And all that does, basically eventuallyis turn you into a dumb ass.
And and so you go wind updoing something else in another profession,
and I'll stop at that. That'sour chests and what a thousand dollars coming
up in the next five minutes fromthe KOA Traffic Center. Here's Darren Copeland.
Well, we are speculating a littlebecause we have some quote unquote unconfirmed

(07:34):
reports out there. What have Ibeen telling you for the last like two
months. Listen, Dave, you'vebeen You've been on it, been on
this, you know what. Notmany I get on, but every now
and then it's the blind squirrel theory. Well, I have a theory that
it's better than a blind squirrel.But you can say if that's if that
is what you want to sell itas, then that's fine with me.

(07:55):
But the unconfirmed reports, and wehave to frame it like that because we
don't have it official. Is atSeattle Seahawks. The Broncos versus Seahawks will
be week one at Seattle, andthen uh unconfirmed reports that the Steelers and
Russell Wilson could be week two.Yeah, I'm looking forward to Uh,
I'm looking forward to the opening day. I mean, if you if you're

(08:16):
talking about like if you can't playat home, I can't think of a
better environment to play, you know, in in September than Seattle, and
that unbelievable weather, that scenery,the crowd, the city. You on
a bike, Me on a bike, bike, uh and bike rolling through

(08:41):
the city. You know, justtalking. I'm going, I guarantee you
I'm going to be there if I'malive and well, I'm going. I'm
telling you, man, that istrue. That's just a few months away.
So well, I hope. SoI mean, you never know.
I mean, you know something I'mjust saying, Okay, I mean Seattle.
I'm actually planning on going to Seattleand uh and spending maybe a week
up there in June. Just justlove it up there, just love it.

(09:05):
It's beautiful. It is for anybodythat has never been to the city
of Seattle. If you can getit when it is sunny, oh yeah,
you would think it is the mostgorgeous place in the world. Like,
who wouldn't want to live here?Now it's not sunny very much,
but it is a beautiful oh yeah. I mean, like the hotel rates

(09:26):
in the summer, they just gothrough the roof. I mean, of
course, you know, all thebusinesses around there, I mean, all
the tech companies are that are involvedin the city are really standout companies.
But in the summer, man,I mean it becomes a destination location.
I just popped through Seattle, hitVancouver and then jump on the ferry,

(09:48):
jump over the Victoria. Man.That Pacific Northwest is beautiful. Man.
Love it up there. And Ithink that we're going to open up and
hopefully get our first win on theroad with bow Knicks against the Seattle Seahawks.
Just for argument's sake, let's justsay Seattle at Seattle home against Pittsburgh
the first two How do you feelabout that? Off the back for let's

(10:09):
say Bonix is a starting quarterback,Well, listen, Seattle. No matter
who the starting quarterback is for theBroncos, and no matter who it is,
it's going to be either a relativelynew quarterback or completely new quarterbacks.
So right, Seattle is one ofthe really tough it's a cool venue.
It's great to call a game fromthere. I've been blessed to have done

(10:31):
that many times. And uh,but it is loud, yeah, I
mean it is even by NFL standards. I mean, they come and I
don't know if it's a Starbucks thingor maybe a little Jack in the Starbucks.
I don't even know, but Imean, those people are on full
when they get there, and letit not be a night game. It
name day. Man. Seriously,I don't know if it may be the

(10:56):
way the stadium is Bill Coates,I mean, maybe he's something. I
mean because I'm mean, I'm like, what is that? I'm like,
why is that happening? Why isit so loud? Why is there a
light roar in the warm up?I'm like, man? And then as
the game got going, Oh mygoodness, man, that's a that's a

(11:18):
man. And listen, they're they'rea pretty good team, right, I
mean, depending on I guess it'sgonna be Geno Smith, right, but
they have replenished. They were theywere a playoff team two years ago and
then last year fell back a littlebit, but it's still that's that's a
hard place to get a win.Then you come back home against Pittsburgh.

(11:41):
We we think I'm confirmed, andI mean, is it Russell Wilson?
Is it justin fields? It's gotto be Ross, right, I'm just
telling y'all if that, if ifthat were a stock, I would say,
say Mortimer, That's exactly what I'dsay. Wow, I think it

(12:07):
could be Russ, but I amnot one hundred percent convinced that Russell will
be the starter. Should the Broncoshost the Steelers in let's say Week two,
Yeah, I'll tell you what ifthey are if they are starting Russell
Wilson. I like the Broncos thatgo one in one in those games because
that's still a defense is crazy goodwith So you like them to win on

(12:31):
the road and lose at home.Yeah, that's what I like. Oh,
I was gonna flip that against Itstill is defense. They better find
out a way. Can I justsay this. We could go back and
do the stats, and I willbefore the season starts. But since twenty
fifteen, this franchise has been subfive hundred at home. Can't can't live.
Can't can't survive. So you betterfind a way to win this year.

(12:54):
If you're that team, you betterfind a way. Do they have
eight or nine this year they have, you better find a way to win
six to hear Charles Barkley reacting tothe Michael Malone's SoundBite that well, Michael
Malone had said that he used someof the prognostications, some of the predictions

(13:15):
that the Nuggets were going to beswept as motivation for the team. So
first I want to play you whatCharles said last week after the Nuggets were
down oh two. Kenny has gotsome good points, Chack got some good
points. This series is a rap. Minnesota is better than the Nuggets,
no disrespect. They don't have anadvantage. The MVP is getting outplayed.

(13:41):
They don't have an advantage anywhere.Jamal Murray, I think he still heard
a little bit. But other thanthat, they don't have an advantage anywhere.
This series is a rap. TheMinnesota timber was you know I said
before the season, I don't believeit in them. They have changed my
mind. They are going to winthis series. I don't know who they're

(14:05):
gonna play. The other series couldbe very entertaining, but man, they
are for real. They have thatguy. If you have that guy and
that boy for that that bulldog,he might as well be a damn wolf
because he ain't messing around. He'slike, boys, y'all come on,
follow me, and the other guysare following him. Okay, So that

(14:28):
was Charles Barkley after the second game, which again a lot of people think
very very very accurate. And hewasn't the only one, right, stephen
A. Smith was out there,Mike will bond old on Man, not
Ryan. If you weren't on thatpage going into the weekend, you would
have been the lone ranger. Well, if you remember on Friday, I
was very fired up out Game three. But that doesn't mean I thought they

(14:48):
were gonna win the series that time. I we we had you see how
I'm looking at you? All right? All right, I see the way
you're looking at me. I willsay that my car confidence in them winning
the series was absolutely shaken. Butthat's just that. It's five times in
history, I mean again, doesn'tdictate right what's happened now, right,
just it's there's a difference between beinga fan and being an analyst. Sure,

(15:11):
so the fan part of us said, amen, we got to go
to Minnesota find a way to winnot one, but two. The analyst
part, after the way they playedin games one and two, said,
no way, that's gonna be reallytough to do. I mean, and
who and who knew that Anthony Edwardswould come out and play so laxed at

(15:31):
home when he had a chance togo up three, Like I knew that
they weren't going to come out laxedin Game two, but in Game three
and you're at home and you justchilled out and just let it ride.
And what I would be worried aboutfor both of our Minnesota Timberwolves fans listening
is Game four. Anthony Edwards wasso dominant for the Tea Wolves. He

(15:56):
had forty four points. Was atone point he was five for seven from
three point range. I mean,he was electrifying. He said he had
a three ball. He said hehad a three ball. But for both
Timberwolves fans listening, he had fortyfour and played that well and you lost
and you lost. Did you seethis comments after the game about uhadline h

(16:19):
for uh no for Anthony, Imean Aaron Gordon. I didn't see what
he said about a g Dude,you gotta listen to it, like you
gotta listen closely. But I waslike, damn, does he just a
g It's it's a it's a slightthis off the podium. Yeah, yeah,

(16:42):
yeah, I just said he's sickof Aaron Gordon. But he said
in the way he said, no, I'm sick of a Gordon the way
I hear what he said listen thatyou can't play it on airs, but
I mean I must listen to it. Like six times, I was like,
oh, we can't. We cannotplay it on air. You cannot

(17:03):
play it on the air, becauseI was like, he's he's just say
what I think he says said I'msick of Eric Gordon. But he said
it, actually, I thought ina respectful way, as in this guy
has been getting under my skin.I don't think he said sick. Oh,
well, then we definitely shouldn't playI thought that's what he said.
That was after Game four. Bythe way that he said that he's walking

(17:26):
off, I didn't see it.We better, we better just make sure
before we try to play it.Sure, I'm sick of Aaron Gord.
Yeah, he was the end ofhis presser. He's walking off and without
being prompted like how did you thinkhe said, I'm radio Oh oh wait,

(17:49):
turn your mincuff from one two three. Oh. I don't think he
said that. Okay, you listento it. Well, nothing about my
career on it. But I justsay like, I don't think that's what
you won't if we play it,you'd be one of those guys just and
we went to we'll be looking forsomething else to do. I was like,

(18:11):
I was like, I don't minddriving. Shoot, nope, you
got me confused. Yeah, hey, man, this dude he's so young.
I was just telling Dave. I'mlike, man, this dude is
just twenty two years. No.We had Tom Kraanon who coached him at
Georgia, and I didn't realize thathe came. He came to Georgia a

(18:33):
year early. Yeah. I meanhe has been in the NBA four years
and he's twenty two years old,right, I mean he got there at
seventeen. We found it. Granthas put his seal approval on this.
It's Grant. No, I'm kidning. Go you do whatever, you're ready,
but you see who your friends arehere. Gordon. Yeah, I

(18:55):
just said I'm sick of Eric Gordonas he's walking off the podium. Okay,
yeah, that's what he said.Playing one more time, let me
hear it again. I got bigears they work Gordon. Yes, sick
of Aaron Gordon because you know EronGordon. I mean he was tremendous out

(19:18):
there in Minnesota. I mean thefirst game Friday night was five for seven,
three for four from beyond the arcthirteen points. Just was was plus
twenty seven in Game four and thenin twent Yeah, eleven of twelve,
two for two from beyond the arc. Maybe it is saying with two thin
I know he said what I think? Did I just say? That is
the sir? That's what I wouldthink for both of the Minnesota fans listening

(19:38):
to our show. Here's another thingI would be concerned of or concerned for
when Anthony Edwards is on the court. The twin the twins, the Timberwolves
were plus whatever, he's six.Yep, he set two minutes and forty
some seconds of the entire game.And in those less than three minutes that

(20:03):
eight that Anthony Edwards was not inthe game, the Nuggets were plus thirteen.
Right, that's holiday as Reggie Jackson, Yeah, Christian Brown. And
that is officially the bench, ye, twenty seven points for the Nuggets bench.
That is the points for the Timberwolves. That's right. That is officially
the bench for the Denver Nuggets,which we have been saying has been the

(20:25):
worst part. Even though Michael PorterJr. Disappeared a little bit, he
only had four points. We saida little bit. Yeah, he went
into witness protection in game four,I mean, I mean not worried about
it, because the Nuggets after aboutthe first four minutes of the game always
played from in front. But theissue is that the Nuggets are behind.

(20:47):
Michael Porter Junior has got to beable to and you know, we know
he has the ability, but hedid and I thought, honestly, I
thought they almost played around him rightgame fours, like now we're not We're
all here with other guys. Myson. My son had this bet going
and he had like this ten legparlay going and he needed Michael Porter,

(21:11):
I think, to make two threes, and he had another option where Michael
Porter scored fifteen or sixteen points.I said, I wouldn't take either one
of those, because you know,he's like Carl Anthony Towns. Sometimes he
is on and then when he's off, he is really off. So that's

(21:33):
an interesting and I think pretty faircomparison, right, just in terms of
how they how they play the game, right, And Carl Anthony Towns is
number last game because I'm just startingto get into this gambling stuff because you
know, Dave, for my entiretyof my career, that was a no
no me too. I mean,listen, man, me too. I've

(21:56):
seen I've seen guys you know,suspended and not allowed in locker rooms because
they were reporters or something and gambleda little bit on things. Listen,
I've got one I was prevented frommaking. I think it was twenty five
hundred dollars signing football cards in LasVegas at a casino while I was playing

(22:18):
in the off season, in theoff season on a Saturday. Well,
twenty five hundred dollars if you're makingthirty grand a year, is a lot
of money, said absolutely not.Wow. So every time we started hearing
these lines on the game, andyou know, like I'm watching TNT and
they are talking about the line onthe game like this is what I like

(22:40):
and something something sad. It waslike Barkley with like six of thirty or
something about what when he loved something. And I just thought, man,
it's just out there, right,Like gambling is really just out there.
You know what, Carl Anthony's town'snumber tonight is over and under point total?
It better be twenty Nope, fifteeneighteen. Okay, you know I

(23:03):
would be the I would be theidiot that would take over. Yeah,
I mean, see that seems likeover would be the way to go,
which probably means it's gonna be under. I'm like, man, I mean
if you would have hit if heif Carl Anthony Towns would have had twenty
and two three pointers, the fiftydollars bet would have been like fifty eight

(23:26):
hundred dollars. Wow, So callAnthony Towns. I mean, you know
what's sitting there watching the game,and you hate him forever. I know
what forever? No, I knowwhat gamblers feel like when they're watching the
game, because it's not necessarily theentire game that you're paying attention to.
You're paying attention to prop bets.Yeah, is that the way you do

(23:49):
it? Ryan? Of course,when you watch it, you say it
makes the game more interesting? Ofcourse, you know, because you know
Aaron Gordon plus a minus on threepointers start the game was zero point five.
Oh he had to do his hitone. Oh yeah, he hit
it in the first two minutes ofthe game. Yeah. When we look
at each other and hot five,wonder what it is tonight? Oh,

(24:11):
I bet it's one and a half. Now that that has gotta be one
and a half. I bet sotoo. I mean this now he's got
a little confidence, so you knowhe's going to cast. Yeah, absolutely,
he's going to cast. Man,watching a game like that, it's
so much more exciting. It's fun. Man, I'm telling you that's dangerous.
Can get a little dangerous, yousee yourself chasing are thinking of ban

(24:34):
prop bets for NBA players because ofthe situation that they just went through.
They're talking about doing that for nextyear. Yeah, I heard something about
that. So they can't you won'tbe able to gamble on what in game?
You won't be able to gamble onin game. I'm trying to remember
exactly what. Yes, yes,because of porter you want to be able

(24:56):
to gamble on once the game starts, you can't make a bet, you
know what. I can't remember exactlywhat it was. That's because that wouldn't
make sense, but it was forn b A. Maybe maybe they're talking
to their betting partners in saying,especially for guys from the G League,

(25:17):
they bring up we don't want anyprop bets made available on them contract.
Maybe that maybe that's it, Butit was something that was like, yeah,
that makes wow, okay, Sobecause because I mean, really,
if you if you you don't believethat this is gonna be a long standing
deal. Hey man, you canPLoP down some money and make some money,

(25:41):
no doubt that. What's the bigwhat's the biggest one you ever hit?
Man? Like one of those multiplebets on the same thing. Yeah,
and thanks the call, Anthony townonly two of them didn't hit.
I've hit a six loser is Yeah, this isn't horseshoes, buddy. For

(26:03):
half you were closed. But it'sa loser. That's why the odds was
for fifty bucks. You wear fiftyeight hundred, right, yeah, that's
right, it's you. You hada sixteen parlay. Yeah, but in
the football season, like who winsand lose? Yeah, it was sometimes
it's like an over under the game. I like, I'm like, all

(26:26):
that game is definitely going over thesod. It's like mixing match. I
can't remember it. But parlay,I would think pays pretty good. Oh
yeah yeah but what what what?What? What would that pay like for
like fifty bucks? I guarantee Ryandid not bet number bucks? Yeah,
what was it? How I wouldguarantee? Though I say I know I
wouldn't. So what's the what's thetwenty bucks? Probably twenty you know,

(26:48):
because I know me twenty is agood bed. But that was my first
time doing it. The odds ofa wedding are like four and a half
percent. Well, that was myfirst time doing it. My son was
like you really. I'm like yeah, yeah, yeah, like that,
yeah, fifteen hundred. Let's goright right right, there's a reason for
that. That's right, that's thereason for that. Very I do want

(27:11):
to play the rest of this.So Charles Barkley from last night, Yeah,
he was reacting to Michael Old.Here's why Michael Malone said, because
he used the audio, the videoof Stephen A and Charles Barkley and a
lot of these analysts out there sayingthat the nugget werena get swept. He
used that as motivation for the team. Here's what he said. And you're
always testing and finding out about humannature and what guys are made of and

(27:32):
when your backs are against the wall. And I had an edit made and
I wasn't sure if I was goingto show it to the guys, and
I showed up to DeAndre Jordan andhe said, oh, hell yeah,
we gotta show it to the guys. And it was a two minute edit
of every talking head in this country. Saying that the series is over,
the Nuggets are done, is towrap their toast. Minnesota is a better

(27:52):
team, all the big personalities,and you know who they are, and
not that they were wrong. Thisis not a shot at those people,
because after the first two games,probably would have said the same thing.
But I didn't want to show itbecause most of the time I don't give
a damn what they say. ButI knew that this would maybe strike a
chord, you know, it woulddeep inside you to say, hey,

(28:18):
man, like everybody and their brotheris saying you're out, You're done.
You guys can't play with this scenethat better than you. If that doesn't
resonate within you as a competitor,I don't know what will. And so
yes, our guys answered the belt, and they showed me that they still
believe. That was my biggest question. Do you believe getting on that plane
on Thursday morning at ten o'clock?Are you going to believe that we can

(28:41):
go up there and win two games? And we're halfway there? Got a
long way to go, Okay,I mean, man, this dude here
man sounds like he belongs in likelike one of those action movies or something
with Orange Schwarzenegger. Yeah, oror are you talking about Stallone? What

(29:03):
are you talking about? I'm saying, I mean, this guy just sounds
like, you know, like likemaybe maybe like I don't know, he
sounds like a superhero, sound likea you know, he's telling you how
it's gonna happen. And it soundslike Michael Malone. Sounds like maybe he's
he's maybe from a movie or something. Yeah, yeah, I mean,
I mean, can't you think ofa movie? Hey, Rock Nobody believes

(29:29):
you're higher, don't want too muchoff medicine. Rock nobody believes hurts my
throw Rocky Boy? Did he actuallyever say that? Cut me say that?
Rock Nobody? Rock? Hey,play that Michael Malone stuff. Yeah,

(29:59):
Michael, I got. And you'realways testing and finding out about human
nature and what guys are made ofand when your backs are against the wall.
And I had an edit made andI wasn't sure if I was going
to show it to the guys,and I showed up to DeAndre Jordan and
he said, oh, hell yeah, we gotta show out to the guys.
And it was a two minute editof every talking head in this country

(30:21):
saying that the series is over,the Nuggets are done. It's to wrap
their toast, and it's sort ofthe better team, all the big personalities
and you know who they are,and not that they were wrong. This
is not a shot at those people, because to the first two games probably
would have said the same thing.I didn't want to show it because most
of the time I don't give adamn what they said. But I knew

(30:45):
that this would maybe strike a chord, you know it deep inside you just
say, hey, man, likeeverybody and their brother is saying you're out,
You're done, and you guys can'tplay with this scene. They're better
than you. If that doesn't resonatewithin you as a competitor, I don't
know what will. And so yes, our guys answered the bell, and
they showed me that they still believe. The biggest question, do you believe

(31:11):
getting on that plane on Thursday morningat ten o'clock? Are you gonna believe
that we can go up there andwin two games? And we're halfway there?
Got a long way to go there, you go, that's what man.
Let me let me just say this. That's that road testin talking.
That's that I better get me oneverything. Yeah, oh my gosh,

(31:41):
so uh that was fun. Mickeynever said that I just start suppose makey
never said nobody believes that you rock. You know what, listen close enough?
Yeah right, close enough? Prettygood pressure. Actually, you know
what, it's worried. Uh Sohere here's here's Charles from last night reacting

(32:01):
to Michael Malone calling him annoying.You know, I hate when coaches try
to act like dude, we getpaid to give an opinion. If you
watched those first two games, youdidn't think Dema was going to win,
the act like we just pulled itout our ass or something just made it
up. And you watched those firsttwo games, you're like, man,
the Minnesota Wolves look better than theDenver Nuggets. Now Denver's playing great,

(32:25):
and he want to act like heplayed a tape. Man. I don't
care. You know, I've alwaysliked Mike Malone. I really like Mike
Mike, but he annoys me becausehe think, like, hey, hey,
he won a championship. He ain'tthe greatest thing since sliced bread.
But to act like guys. Firstof all, he CAUs I think Steven
A and Mike will but all ofus was apparently on this tape. But

(32:45):
we only can go by what wesaw. And if you watch those first
two games, you said, damn, I think that because I've never been
a Minnesota fan. I told youthat, So I said, but maybe
I got to change my opinion.But give a Denver Nuggets reddit, but
don't act like that tape spurred thenugget. I think the reason, what's

(33:07):
the reason, the reason the Nuggetsplayed better? Joker played great, Gordon
played great, Murray played great.First two games. Charles listen, I
know, I just get mad whenthey act like we ain't got to do
we get paid. Given the batWell and Shaq, we cut it off.
But Shack actually disputed what Charles saidand said, you know, something

(33:30):
similar happened. He was at theLakers and Charles said, oh, so
you're telling me you you need todifferent. He said, absolutely, but
then you're not in Yeah, well, I mean do we do we?
I mean, let's let's listen tothat. Let's listen to that thing.
Since we're doing movie themes, sincewe are doing movie themes. We're doing
movie themes. No, you're doingmovie themes. You rovers doing movie themes.

(33:53):
On everything Brought you by ten.I mean, listen to Charles Barkley.
I mean, this is this isthe way it's needed to sound after
after the Nuggets came back. Allright, go ahead. You know,
I hate when coaches try to actlike dude. We get paid to give

(34:13):
an opinion. If you watch thosefirst two games, you didn't think demon
was going to win? Hold itout? All right? What is going
on? What movie was that supposedto be? That is, I know

(34:36):
what you're looking for. You tryto find that to break. All right,
We'll come back somehow.
