right now thank you for inspiring me Fred and I found out yesterday that people uh that men and women are on there and they’re connecting it’s a whole thing it’s a whole thing community of sharing and caring yes indeed it’s h and it’s not always about the show so if you’re bored with the show you can go on there and then there’s uh people having conversations among themselves uh we told one of the great things about being Hardy’s first year as there Hardy’s first experiences with things and today uh when I sat down and then I saw that you had put this in slack John uh but it was even before I saw that I saw that um when we sat down I have a show sheet I’ve been using since before I came to Boston and I write the date in the top I guess it’s just OCD now because I just throw it away every day but uh the it’s July 11 7-Eleven y and so that of course means it is Dan Ro’s birthday and the reason I know that and don’t and have to carry a keychain with my kids birthdays on it uh I do have like little things on my keychain that I was given when they were born that have their birthdays on it and I have had to look at them before I know the year because I know how old they are and I know the month but sometimes the date gets a little wonky for me like the actual day my daughter’s birthday was yesterday and I remember but uh today 7-Eleven and we know it’s Dan roach’s birthday because Dan roach uh was not bragging but telling like a folksy tale uh Dan went through this period on the show where he would um come on and he would say about how he would you know have conversations around town like conversations at the gas station conversations at the Duncan he’s everybody’s friend he’s in like a walking club like that get wasn’t he in a Walkin club or making that up I thought it was a workout Club I thought it he would go to the gym with a bunch of people and they’d all work out together at like 6:00 in the morning I I do okay so I I don’t think that’s what it is I do think that he walked with people I think that it was a walking Club cuz I would have been like you went to the gym with be no it was walking then okay if we if we’re remembering that then it was definitely walking and so the whole thing would be like so and so said this to me so and so said that to me I actually texted them this morning and the reason I know it’s his birthday is because he told the story about you know and uh as a matter of fact I was I go went to 7-Eleven last on my birthday and uh they uh you know gave me a free slurpee and uh you know just just because it was my birthday and then um it wasn’t me but it might have been I don’t know who it was but someone on the show said when’s your birthday and he said it’s uh July 11th and then someone did the thing in their mind and said you mean 7-Eleven and they knew 7-Eleven gives Slurpees out for free or they did at the time to everyone on 7-Eleven and then roach said uh yeah roach just texted me it’s a walk-in club uh roach said yeah it wasn’t a workout Club I would have remembered that uh the uh and then and then he’s like you know the guy gave me a free a free slurpee and then it was brought to his attention that everyone gets a free slurpy and then we had the conversation of did you ever show the guy your ID and he was like no like like you know were you buying like alcohol like in the he’s like no and we’re like well how would he know it was your birthday and he’s like hm ruined his day and then uh yeah it was just it was a great moment because Dan’s uh it was so easy to ruin his Illusions crush the all positive day for him because you know he has like a obviously a community where everyone like talks and they like get together in the like in the mornings and the neighborhood talks to each other which is I guess suppose what you want but but he tried to take it too far put the 7-Eleven thing yeah you put the kaios on that immediately but stepped right on it I texted him before six happy birthday and I and he got back to me he was up MH so happy birthday to Dan and I will never ever forget your birthday for as long as I live until I get Alzheimer’s and I still might remember it might be the might be the last thing I ever say Dan is an idiot he got he thought they were giving him a slurpie because it was his birth birthday but there you have it 7 happy birthday Roi happy birthday to the Great Dan Roi a walking Club a walking Club they get together and walk they probably at different places oh today we’re going to walk around the reservoir in Brook line no I believe it’s I if I had to guess again it would be the exact same route and I’m sure Dan’s going to text me and go it is the same route every day yeah yeah I’m going to say there’s very little that changes why would you get in the car and drive somewhere to walk no no neighborhood why would you be in a walking Club you want to go for a walk just you got that’s the great thing about going for a walk you don’t need to join a club you don’t need a membership you you don’t even need shoes you could do it baref this is instead of Poker man you just get together Bros being Bros yeah just early in the morning having some fun yeah they Dan’s in that uh in that walking Club what the hell was I just going to say I was going to transition into something else I forget what I was going to say oh boy Danny what’s he telling you I don’t know he said it’s a walking Club is all I know is that he’s in a walking Club okay what the hell was I going to say I had something else lined up was it Dan roach related was it Club related last thing before you die when was last thing before I died maybe it was Club related I can’t remember what it was uh I can’t how much Andy Wong really likes you is that possible and W didn’t know me but Andy Wong uh sent me a big box cuz I went to The Loon and when I went CU my son had a game in SAS after he had had a game at Curry College which is South opposite direction the other side City so uh yeah so then we went up to sagus and it was his mother his sister cuz his sister came because of the promise of the lon mhm and for the second time my life I went to callon but when you go to callon you text you text uh Joe Murray mhm and I and I texted Joe Murray and I said hey sorry to bother you but could you tell Andy or tell someone at the lon that I’m coming in so I can get a table and I told you guys the story and the and Andy Wong was at the host and he just happened to be there it was the first time I ever met Andy Wong but it was very busy as it always is and they sat us down and I got a free meal and I stipped the waitress and everything else I told you nice yeah I no not not a dime baby now I knew that is this free or is this free but uh Andy I guess felt bad because we had left by the time he got back to the table MH and uh cuz we dined and dashed maybe the meal wasn’t free but Andy felt bad so Andy had asked Joe Joe is a conduit to all this stuff asked Joe for my kids uh sizes and my sizes and then I got a very large box so I knew the box was here waiting for you because I got a text from J Stu last night oh with a photo of the Box sitting on his chair in the control room yeah and it said package from callon for Fred no punctuation I said oh I’m sure he’ll open it up look at it and leave it there until somebody takes it for themselves or throws it away which is kind of your Mo for things sent to you at the radio station sure he he gave back the widey Emoji which I didn’t know what that meant and then I realized oh he thought he would have some coloon gear for himself so I I I quickly leaned into that and said hey whatever he leaves you and I will split noted or Nick will steal I almost crashed my car laughing when freddit yelled at Nick to screen a phone call because a woman was calling yeah that was yesterday yeah maybe it was Major guns calling in to say hi I’m coming back to the Attitude Era no no but there you have it so you got a bit now you didn’t even dig through the box yet you haven’t properly rifled through that box I guarantee there’s some of those TIY there is there’s there are small boxes within the box so I’m guessing that those are they tiys now the will the these lead me to Vincent Price well I go to a cave and have to leave a trail of popcorn and will my parents have to come rescue me and when they find I’ve been tied up and kidnapped by Vincent Price they’ll just Vincent Price will calmly explain to them what’s going on and then I’ll just go okay yeah make friends with them yeah that’s that’s what will there be a tarantula on my chest will I uh crash on a one foot wave when I’m surfing in Hawaii where there is the North Shore where there are like 30 foot swells Greg crashes on like a twoot w wasn’t he in a there was a surfing competition well okay I don’t that I don’t remember no well yeah that’s the taboo episode of The Brady Bunch yeah but I think he was out there surfing because it was part of a contest that you know maybe someone spotted him and said hey you know for a Howley you’re not bad on the it was a Northshore situation long board Barney why don’t you get out here and you’re a kid from a wave pool in Arizona compete with some of the locals you have to learn out a soul surf before you you get out there but the if if it was a surfing competition they go like let’s go to the lamest beach in Hawaii and really carve up these like these little ripples that’s find the flat one yeah let’s do it in a river find the flat beach in a Cove I remember I remember Vince surprice eating beans off of like a metal plate like a camping plate do you remember that that tiny little detail aspect of that yes because uh there were beans featured several times in the later seasons of The Brady Bunch you’ll recall when uh Bobby and Cindy took off in the Grand Canyon and they had packed a flashlight with pork and beans and then they met the Native American tribe and they said come to our uh our powwow right it’s as your kids say a groovy time yeah and then they did peyote and Cindy got very sick yeah they did iow it was an early for I don’t know if it was iasa or an early form of if it was peyote or early form of iasa yeah and they couldn’t find Bobby it turned out he was in a sweat lodge and uh and he was coming to grips with what his aunt did to him crying and vomiting which is what I I’m told happens when you when you go to one of those IAS Retreats you remember a relative did something very bad to you all right uh Hardy there are uh some things that happen in the world of sport pray tell well the US Olympic thing that’s bad oh uh yeah the Olympic thing happened yesterday uh some developments I mean we could mention it it is after all July 11th so not a lot else going on something that happened with the Copa America tournament and the US uh national soccer team so you know that actually happened so things happened there was of course a big golf tournament in Framingham Mass yesterday that you get out there you go you walk AC I did look at you so yeah yeah plenty of things happened last night you are really uh what are they giving you in Framingham one could only imagine a free slurpee nothing I got nothing not a thing it is for certificate to Jack Abby Perhaps Love of the Game I was there yesterday and uh and it was uh the fiercest of competitions In fairness I went to espn.com and it’s on the front page Mass amateur yeah I mean I got to give it to you go Team USA the link right to the leaderboard without without spilling any of the really good stuff those guys yesterday at at the start of match play played two rounds and everybody walks some guys carry their own clubes God others have their you know push carts some have caddies but let me tell you something were you outside at all in the middle of the day yesterday yes I was real warm yeah and that course humid hilly you need a sherpa just to get up to the green on the first hole Yeah so these guys once if you were good enough to win your first match and I don’t know maybe get off the course around noon 12:30 get ready you’re going out again here right away go play 18 more say hi to your neighbor I followed him for his last six holes what what a feat of athleticism it really is that they were out there I was going to ask if your neighbor advance but I know that that would ruin the whole thing I I don’t want to yeah well you already kind of did yeah I mean he was it was a subtle he was subtly making people go is he going to say it yeah yeah and they were just tuning in to see if he was going to mention it yeah it’s true there my fault he actually collected audio from there yesterday we’re going to be talking to the groundskeeper from the Framingham Country Club I did speak with a couple of guys who were assistant supers they I didn’t get a chance to chinwag with the with the superintendent but a couple of guys I was walking up uh they recognize we big fans no big whoop and uh I talk to those guys and we talked about course conditions and J is going to be played on Sunday morning none of SP Golf Club I didn’t record any of it this was this was my personal time yeah yeah yeah this isn’t he can’t bastardize this these relationships by taping all of them right especially when there’s nothing to be offered you got to get have a couple hats if you want Hardy to talk to you sure I mean they don’t come for free I mean you got to at least reso his or put some insoles in his golf shoes y if you want him talking to you on air make sure the foot Joys are looking fresh yeah I mean but when he comes up people do go golf show he’s like yeah yeah don’t don’t make a fuss that’s right I’m here don’t don’t fine don’t don’t no special two at a time let’s not raise attention this is about the people on the course yeah I won’t charge you this time not about who’s in the gallery right and then the guys playing were like oh I had a a 5 foot putt but then I saw Hardy was watching and it was almost unfair CU I was trying to impress him and then I got The Yips they called the the hips when Hardy hips y got the hips they’re called the hips when Hardy’s in the crowd all right we’ll be back in just a moment toucher and Hardy on the way on did you catch a game last night hey we are Hardy uh Hardy what’s going on Red Sox took on the uh Oakland Athletics again last night at fway Park as their series continues Oakland A’s we know stink some would say 24 games below 500 with a record of 35 and 59 but you know what I would say Fred they’re 12 games below 500 because if you’re going to give them 12 wins you have to take away 12 losses and it’s I I’ve I I was I had a long long time thinking about this in the car yesterday because the Red Sox were being described as 10 games above 500 it’s a it’s really five because if you take away five wins then you add five losses you understand what I’m saying yes if you’re 50 and 40 it’s not 10 it’s it’s five games above 500 the amount still has to equal 90 I got you okay all right anyway congratulations how much time did you waste the well I had long time in the car the uh A’s stink real bad and uh the Red Sox could not manage a second straight win over them they lost 52 last night Alex cor what happened we put pressure on them towards the end we had the big guy with the bases loaded so I like the effort obviously it just didn’t happen tonight no it did not happen but you know you take your victories where you can find them and Nick Peta spoke about the uh striking out of eight consecutive batters yeah it’s it’s it’s good it’s always I’m always grateful to be in that um position and uh to be able to do things like that um it’s good yeah it’s always good did you watch the game last night wall I did I did watch some of that game last night why you tell me why don’t you tell me what happened in the third inning last night they they allowed three runs in the third inning I did not see the third inning okay you you ly to me or you ly John what is it about you that Dan O’Brien says that you’ll leave the house for hours at a time without your phone what do you mean he said that he texted you about getting a Celtics guest and that you got back to him at 10:30 at night and you said I’m sorry I was at my son’s soccer game but you would think that at the soccer game you would be glued to the phone I accidentally left my phone at home it wasn’t intentional you are truly old like that is that is like something that my parents do like phone home it was an accident I usually don’t no didn’t go back and get it yeah I didn’t realize it until I showed up yeah but that you know that is something that that that is people most people under the age of 60 don’t do so and I know you’re kissing 60 Jesus Dan I really didn’t realize it was going to piss you off to that extent it does staple it to my thigh right to that right there that it’s an example of gas lighting I would imagine okay something like that it’s like it’s like changing the subject kind of pushing back with like stuff that’s not on the point I still don’t know what it means but I think I’m starting to get it I I would imagine that’s gaslighting cuz John’s going like I didn’t know it was going to upset you so like you’re the problem like you’re so upset like what are you crazy like you’re up I’m the problem I didn’t respond in a quick quick enough time this is Martyr talk it’s right now it’s Marty it’s gone from gaslighting to Mar you know you’re on to me you guys you guys can’t I now it’s sarcastic martyring it really is a a character defect Nick had the best point about this about John leaving the house he goes That’s dangerous at his age leaving the house without phone should have some kind of a tracker on him or something I know life aler bracelet something around what did you think that’s what murderers do my phone at home they get a well first of all he he uses a ram MCN map to get wherever he’s going I was going to say a mellin Mell that’s a little fancy a mellin I mean that’s digital I’m I’m saying he’s just got a book of maps in the back like my parents do my parents literally they still have maps in the car in the back pocket of the my mom’s car there’s a ran mc mc mcmi uh one of the like the big books a trip tick yeah well the trip tick no I use trip ticks man trip ticks were the balls those things were cool you go to Triple A and where you headed that’s their trailer hitch is a nice set of balls is that my mom has bronze balls as a trailer hitch on her car uh but John John leaves his car and that’s something I believe that Killers would do is create a pattern of leaving their phone at home cuz the phone pings wherever you go if you don’t know this if you never saw the mayor of East Town your phone pings like so even if you’re not using it or calling it pings off the local cell phone towers so it’s always tracking you no matter what you do I learned that from the first season of uh cereal when they were uh trying to figure out if that guy actually killed that girl the pinging on the cell towers yeah was the first season of Serial the guy who got the tattoos all the they he had ended up getting tattoos on top of tattoos or was that the second season of Serial I don’t I don’t remember because one of them was everyone insisted was the greatest thing ever and then it was I think you and I talked about this years ago and the ending was like huh like I did I listened to all of this just to get to this like convoluted ending it’s it’s the one where the the the guy’s high school girlfriend is killed and left in the the woods I think outside of Baltimore and okay yeah this is not the one then it it might have been the second season of cereal and there was like a tattoo and the guy was getting tattoos on top of tattoos and oh no that’s sown oh swn okay right yeah that one it’s it’s fascinating and compelling and when it ends you’re like oh it’s lost it’s just it’s it’s the show Lost so nothing happened yeah like so basically this is just a bunch of crap yeah I listened to all this for no reason but anyway John left his uh phone at home and uh that’s his that’s his thing is that he goes out without his phone and he just he’s engulfed in the soccer game that is going on uh Howard go ahead I’m sorry about that I just wanted to make a slight correction uh if a team is 50 and 40 they are 10 games over 500 because if they turned around and lost 10 in a row they’d be at 500 uh it’ be 50 and 50 so it’d be right at 500 it it depends if you’re referring to the before or the after very good g go ahead hey so so Fred the guys I I leave my phone in the house all the time like I go out and mow the lawn and I leave my phone in the house I actually when I come home I put my phone in the key dis do you guys have a key dis yeah yeah I do too when I take a nap I leave my phone in the kitchen and I buy where I leave my keys so I I’m with you there and if I go out in the yard I don’t necessarily keep my well my big yard if I go outside to like I don’t necessarily bring my phone but if I’m going in the car and leaving the house I I will go back to the house I’ll realize very quickly I don’t have my phone like it would be I I realize I didn’t have my phone before I realized I didn’t have my wallet I could survive with just my phone because of Apple pay so like if I left my wallet and and conceivably my keys at home I could get a lift I could pay for things I could eat I could I could get food delivered to me like I could sustain a modern life with my phone so that would be the first thing I thought about so Carri I’m with you I’m not my phone’s not glued to my hip but if I leave the house the phone is with me if you leave the property yes yes like even if I walk the dog because then I’ll use the phone cuz I’ll I’ll listen to the radio on the phone or I’ll listen to a book I can I can count on one hand the number of times I have left the house without my phone um and and not gone back to get it in I I don’t know since we started carrying phones around you just I don’t I don’t know how you do it and and coming to work you can’t we can’t we can’t do a lot of stuff that we do here can’t log onto our computers without our and also I connect I’ll use the map now even where I know where I’m going just to get an estimate of when I’m going to get there traffic so I use the like wherever I go even Places work in the morning I don’t use it on the way home but on the way here I use it and I take a deliberately longer route because I want to listen to what happened the like late at night so I’ll take a deliberately five minute longer route here oh which I found to be to my benefit because if I just jump on 95 I’m here in like two seconds and I feel like I’m I I haven’t had time to consume any information so I need that time in the car I’ve I’ve stopped using ways on the way to work which I I did for God knows how how many years ways is a Fool’s errand don’t use ways ways ways ways has screwed me I will never use ways I haven’t used ways in a decade what do you use I use uh Google Maps and then before that I used App Quest Apple the Apple the map app on my phone is what I use oh that’s not very good better than ways better than well ways completely screws you cuz ways nickel and dimes things like they I’ll when yeah I know I know what you I know what you mean well first of all in my where I used to live it used to send people off of Route n and down this residential street which is not off of Route n it’s like three turns off of Route n and it used to send there would be just waves of cars and you go okay W is setting these guys out and it was to do a circle back to Route n like it was the dumbest thing it was just to make a bunch of turns into a neighborhood to get back to Route N I was coming back from Storyland one time or whatever the hell is up in North Conway that’s it but it was the winter because it was the the famous game I’ll never forget against it was the Rams Patriots when I listened to the whole pregame and it was just belich going off about the punter Hecker yes just and it was and I’m like what is going on like this is so boring right and uh ways took me off of the freeway in New Hampshire and I was literally driving like down residential quaint New Hampshire towns like I was driving like down culdesac yeah I wonder if sometime I thought about this with ways and sometimes obviously it’s going to do that so you avoid an accident or construction but if sometimes they just if if you and I plug in from this point the exact same destination Point especially at a busy time if it will give us two different routs because ways has some algorithm it’s like we’ve already sent a few people this way now let’s send a few people that way and we’re doing our help to start you know we’re doing our part to spread out the traffic isn’t ways based on ways people that use ways reporting stuff to them some of it yeah so what losers is telling an app like oh there’s an accident or there’s a police officer here what what [ __ ] is doing that yeah who would do that loser you get ways points when you do it oh what those can you where can you turn them in for Bitcoin seriously I don’t know what’s a ways point I don’t know whenever I I I see something and uh Jesus already not every time not every time but if you’re stuck I’m like oh I will I will let people know it’s like it didn’t tell me there’s any traffic here and I’ll put you know moderate or heavy traffic if we get to a standstill so other people know I’m helping people out you’re a man of the people gives you a little sign it’s like you just earned 10 Smiles or 10 good for you 10 Smiles 10 wayes how about that and then you then oh boy it determines your way Rank and then wazers who edit the map also will have an editor Rank and an edit count so you can and then what is the more times you report the police officer on the right hand side of the road uh well then why why wouldn’t I just report crap and then if I was going say to if I was going to Maine like Dan and I would just report a bunch of accidents on the my route and so to hopefully get people off of it that’s right that’s that would be to my advantage I’d rather get that than smiley faces anything to get there quicker yes all right y I’m Consulting ways apedia right now which is an actual yeah you know that there’s a community of people that are collecting these Smiles I mean I can assure you of that it’s it’s all the algorithm baby do you get anything for us no but it’s still you get you get candies bonus candies only appear at Road Junctions and generally get placed on the road along your current path so um points rank editing ranks I I’ll I’ll really start digging around on this you you dive into that all right we have to break we’ll be right back up headlines hey we are toucher and Hardy and uh shouts out to Al from SSD control one of the legendary uh hardcore bands in the history of the former music they are a Boston based uh he’s suffering right now and but uh he’s got a he’s they’re going to bring him up on this at this food fighter show he should do it I’ll do it and by the way you said that you saw the sweatpant boners you you introduced the sweatpants boners Rich there was a whole thing going on now this is Hardy my name is Hardy I’m sorry I’m I’m Hardy I apologize uh I because I’m reading 10 things uh this thing is Hardy uh do you know are you aware of the band Bim Scala Bim I have heard of him I couldn’t tell you a thing about him but I I I know the name it says congrats on the new show I just need to say straight out I’m not one of the lizard people I guess I’ll be around if they start popping up though Dan and Patrick really G anyway Bim scal B is playing two shows Saturday in Davis Square Somerville at the Crystal Ballroom in a MATA in an evening show Bim scull bim’s been around for a long time since the early 90s yeah and so I am all for it I mean I just know because I I I know that is not something I came across recently because I don’t seek out a lot of new music so the Crystal Ballroom in Cambridge a a a local Legends Bim scelean uh Saturday 12:30 show where I’ll be taking my daughter and her friend and then a show at uh 8:30 in the evening for the crazy adults two shows not not a uh not a lizard person not a story not a lizard person uh no but certainly T milin cousin did he ever give you permission Nick to use his picture of his chain for the internet did he ever get back to you uh Tyler Milan’s cousin he says yes he did get permission oh right behind you yeah no no but I know Tyler Milan’s cousin’s here he came in and took a picture of my show sheet yeah I don’t know why but he did he’s got something for you today Fred I don’t know if you just want to do this now or maybe if you want to schedule this he’s all excited he brought in a gift bag for you oh let’s do this now I maybe we do this off the air maybe maybe maybe maybe we take the foot off the gas oh well or do it at 646 I’d say those are the two I’d say those are the two primary options bring the boy in come on bring him in come on let you with a you well let’s talk to Pat Pat go ahead I already did the Indy Wong thing Pat go ahead Hey Hardy were you uh driving on ways um heading to New York City near Charlton on Thursday because it was a nightmare situation for me and my family it took me off the road off of 20 I went through two horse farms one pig farm I felt like Chevy Chase in in in the Vacation movie when I’m lost in St Louis yeah or Deliverance yeah I’m done with ways it’s over I’m done with way I can’t do it anymore that’s exactly exactly what happened to me I’m sorry this that’s exactly what happened to me that when I was in New Hampshire it took me through streets with like kids jumping rope and playing basketball like I can’t tell like with driveways and people having lemonade on their porches all of a sudden you’re in downtown Meredith New Hampshire and you’re like how the hell did I get here yeah it’s just towns I was in oh see with me yeah it it would be like driving through a subdivision I don’t even know they have those here but it would be like driving into Canterbury Commons and driving around on like just like a park but all all maps must do this from time to time Google Maps does not uh the the simple thing about like uh oh the the the quickest route is to take a right here and then you take a a a left back there and if you’ve ever driven that route before you go no no you go straight you’re going to drive an extra quarter mile but then you don’t have to you know make that nasty left turn onto that street that you know you can never make a left turn on to things like that or the psychological aspect of it like for instance would you rather be moving on on um like conventional roadways or stuck on the freeway now like the freeway might get you there like a minute faster would you rather be moving on side streets well that’s why that’s why ways takes you off and puts you on side streets I’m talking about side streets like route n or side streets like you know real roads I’m not talking about going through a neighborhood yeah I would rather not go through a neighborhood I’d rather be on the freeway than in a New Hampshire quaint town I mean going by like a courthouse I like that wayes puts me into to neighborhoods I get you know get to look at some homes get some landscaping ideas sure see what’s going on well keep your eyes on the road and your hands hit to 10 and two 10 and two baby and double nickels on the dime when you’re on that freeway come on baby uh Team USA play a little tuneup against uh Canada last night uh Canada went out and scored uh early like 11 12 points can Canada’s Got a Good roster yeah they got to be pretty good because they got uh Wiggins they got the kid Murray from Denver’s can Shay gilgas Alexander RJ Barrett who’s a starter for the Knicks I mean they got some guy KY o Kelly oen Off the Bench I still if you’re a girl that hooked up with Kelly oen shame on you you did it just cuz he plays basketball with that horse face as good as they are they’re still going up against this us playing Australia on Monday here’s thebr look at that you saw that coming oh wow good work there boys yeah well done it’s like I was there apparently that was uh step to LeBron and an Aly oop so w that’s something else uh I’ll tell you this is that we’ll get into it later but it is interesting to me that Jaylen Brown uh there’s three Celtics on this US Olympic team and Jaylen Brown’s not one of them and the reasons are BS the Derek White going on there was a quote uh from I guess Grant Hill’s putting the team together he’s one of the guys who puts the team together but he’s really not Nike’s putting the team together he’s the face of Team USA basketball and he said that it’s something along the lines of like it’s like a piano recital you need a piano mover you need a guy to set up the hall and you need the piano Fred he fits in with the team better and I’d say that’s the worst analogy ever I would have the worst piano mover in the world do it so I could get the best piano player in the world to play I would I would let I would sacrifice everything they did the best piano I mean if I could get the guy who does that’s just the way it is Bruce Hornsby if I could get him I mean I would I would have uh three dogs to slay the thing in if I could get but but it is Nike is keeping Jaylen Brown off this team there’s not a question about it you can do there’s no way JW holiday and Derek white fit better in quotations on this team or that Derek white is the best comp to kawh Leonard that’s nonsense there there is something going on with Jaylen Brown and I don’t know if it’s his fault or someone else’s fault but something’s going on where he’s getting screwed I thought about this yesterday and if it’s you know I I was trying to wrap my head around why they wouldn’t want the finals MVP Eastern Conference Finals MVP he won backto back MVP awards in the playoffs and he’s he was second Team all NBA last year there’s no excuse I heard some somebody say something about it’s like well Jaylen Brown you know courts some controversy at times like the you’re talking about the Olympics where uh like Nazis went up against uh what what they considered to be inferior races I mean controversy comes I’m not saying cheap these days but this is supposed to be the point where it’s like no ideology is aside about whatever you think you get the best athletes and you put them out there and how Jaylen Brown isn’t on this team well if it’s his ideology that’s not a national story that’s and and I’m not even positive what it is I just know he he supported Kyrie Irving which every player in the NBA did pretty much they all love him so whatever I don’t know what his ideologies are I really don’t and if I don’t certainly the nation isn’t you know so in in there’s either something going on with him that we don’t know about which I would not want to speculate because that’s not fair to him or Nike as is believed by Stephen A Smith and and I’ve heard other people at ESPN say it that and other National guys say that Nikes beli to pick the guys that go on this team Jaylen Brown doesn’t have a major shoe deal he was on Adidas beforehand he tweeted out something to Nike and I that has to be what it is that was in October of 2022 that tweet and I Nike has a long ass memory I mean it it’s I have the Tweet here in front of me Nike found this guy tweeted Nike founder Phil Knight says Kyrie Irving stepped over the line when the Nets player shed and anti-semitic film on Twitter and Jaylen Brown answered back since when did Nike care about ethics yeah and so who are not that apparently is the tweet that got him in trouble and who are the two players that are on this on this team it well but then Jaylen Brown tweeted recent I think yesterday really Nike yes really Nike but that was in after right right right you’re this is punitive Nike this is really what we’re doing here and then so the two players that aren’t on this team are Kyrie Irving and Jaylen Brown and I mean brunson’s not on this team either but Brunson wouldn’t replace kawh Leonard right like if you lost Kawhi Leonard the comp is Jaylen Brown like Jaylen Brown would be on this team before holiday I buy he plays a different position they they wanted him a long time ago he’s a great defensive player they play a high level in the biggest games he’s done it before it’s like Shane Bader when he was on the team like a couple of generations ago like or iterations ago I I get like one guy but you don’t get Derek white and jeru holiday they no way go ahead there there are a couple other things that play here I know we’re against the clock let me just add this Kevin Durant has not played he has a sore calf you know he’s going to miss a few games they think he’s going to be back for the Olympics but maybe not if Durant can’t play and they need another forward would they again skip over Jaylen Brown that’ll be the real test well would they there’s some plausible deniability there’s some like well maybe they did maybe they didn’t if dur can’t play that’ll erase all doubt if they I don’t know because if they if the if Durant doesn’t play and then they add like another like all NBA guy or something I don’t know if that’s even possible but if they add like another star that’s something but there’s two guys that are that are like you know not as highly paid as him on his own team that have made this it’s it is ridiculous bigger bigger travesty uh Jaylen Brown being left off or Isaiah Thomas being shut out of the Dream Team well Isaiah Thomas but we know Isaiah Thomas was shut out of the Dream Team it’s a fact I mean they didn’t like him Jordan hated him yeah Jordan hated hated him I mean there’s no mystery around that I mean Isaiah Thomas should been on that team Chris mullen’s on that team and Isaiah Thomas John Stockton over Isaiah Thomas no Isaiah Thomas should have been on that team they got kept off because of Michael Jordan I mean we know that for a fact uh what coach is the coolest guy in the world we’ll find out in just a moment you’re listening to toucher and Hardy of The Sports Hub Red Sox are beaten by Oakland last night 52 at Fenway Park right

big deal apparently uh the other shows was going on and on and on about how the streaming numbers are very high on the on visually ohay uh all right so uh who’s the coolest coach in town the great thing about college football is that it is not a big there’s places where it’s the biggest thing in the world these small pockets of the country these like areas where it’s the biggest thing in the world but outside of that bubble no one cares if I was to ask you uh who Ali Gordon was I just said the name Ali Gordon what would you say um like a 1930s uh film star like right right when the Takis started uh I know wasn’t Ali the kid on hooers that was that his name he was the granny shot kid yeah so that’s what your your brain Auto you go to to cucko Fran and Ali perhaps cuck Fran and Al from John’s childhood Oli Gordon there was Fatty Arbuckle there was Oli Gordon fatty killed Arbuckle yeah fatty killed the broad well so they say if if you believe the newspapers well I mean it was the black deia case uh Oly Gordon uh was the big 12 reigning offensive player of the year ah ah yes Ali oh well Ali Gordon II that’s what threw me off on the back of his uniform I’m sure I don’t see the second but maybe I’ll take Gordon I I oh very good well this just says Oli Gordon it’s from the Oklahoman which they want to change very bad because it has H in it they don’t like that in Oklahoma right uh if I said Mike Gundy off the top of your head would you know you do you know where I’m going but you know Mike Gundy off the top of your head see I wouldn’t recognize the name but I certainly know who he is he is the coach of Oklahoma State he’s oh he’s like a character from Eastbound and Down he is Oklahoma like he’s got what appears to be the world’s worst toue he’s had it forever it’s jet black and it sits on top of like a shaved head and it’s a not doing it a mullet it’s not a mullet it’s a a hairpiece it’s sort of a mullet but the top is as long as the side Jo just have to look at them it looks like someone glued the wrong wig onto like a onto someone’s head like they like way too small for the guy’s head CU I hate when people call a mullet something that’s not a mullet it’s not tight on top and long in the back it’s just one big qua with the side shaved it’s really something to it’s like an animal Pelt it really is it’s like Gundy put your seat in me uh so anyway so uh Gundy is Mike Gundy is the coach of OSU and so Oklahoma’s on it pins and needles because it’s Big 12 media day and they got to get in there like this is the biggest thing that ever happened in Oklahoma oh can you imagine if your K go I want to go to Oklahoma State guess who’s paying for it not me go go get a Oklahoma State you want to matriculate with those morons Hai Machi if you could go to play football at at a big 12 anywhere in the country like a D1 school why would you possibly ever go to Oklahoma State I just it’s a part of the country that is not much fun it’s really not fun I I know this from personal experience I’ve been out there I know exactly where Oklahoma state is it’s there’s nothing around it there’s nothing to do there’s zero and it’s flat and it goes forever it’s terrible yeah it’s uh it it is really something else it is uh I know people that move out there like I know people who’ moved out there and it’s no fun well ali uh Gordon got a DUI he got a DUI all right you got a DUI these things happen he’s a college kid he blew a point I believe he BW a 01 which is uh no point uh a 0.1 okay so a 0.1 08 is the limit I would imagine in Oklahoma so he was kind of drunk he drove a car it’s not a good thing he guess he was weaving and stuff and they pulled him over as drunk driving aresco and he was arrested for drunk driving and they asked Mike Gundy about it he didn’t suspend the kid and here’s what Mike Gundy said what’s his status and why did you want to bring him today so the college football is changing we all know and we can say these guys aren’t employees but they’re really employees these guys get paid a lot of money and when I looked at it I I thought okay I’m going to be real honest with myself first and then make the best decision for what I think’s good for Oli our University and our team and then I start thinking about okay so right now I’m like okay look you don’t have to suspend him the guy has you know the guy got a I he’s he’s going to you know get the community service and everything else that comes with it he’s hopefully learned his lesson no one was hurt this is why you don’t go to jail generally for your first DUI this is what you know what happens yeah and you know he uh he’s he’s doing this with them asking him not only you know what are you doing but why did you bring him here cuz he brought him as a team representative too which is I think important not only are we’re going to find out what he did or did not do but he brought him along here emplo of the year I mean you get a big 12 you can’t not bring the kid and then I started thinking about being a parent I have a 28 I have a 23 and a 19 and first I thought okay so I looked it up on my phone what would be the legal limit like in Oklahoma is 008 and OE was um 0.1 so I looked it up and it was based on body weight not to get into the legal side of it but I thought really two or three beers or four I’m not justifying what all he did I’m telling you what decision I made all well if it’s based on bodyweight and he’s a running back in the Big 12 I would imagine that would go against the less beer Theory I don’t think four beers you’re blowing a point I don’t know when to get into it I don’t want to get in trouble I don’t know but but body weight it would mean it would take him more not less I mean that’s just a fact correct well I thought i’ probably done that a thousand times in my life and and I you know it’s just fine so I got lucky people get lucky alllie made a um a decision that he wish he could have done better but when I talked to Ollie I told him I said you’re lucky you got out light because you make a lot of money to play football so back in the day being able to cover the cost of what he’s going to go through would be difficult for a college player it’s not for him absolutely mhm that’s not an issue for him so nobody got hurt I said we see people doing this and people losing their lives across the country not just football players but everybody so you got out lucky yeah hell yeah he said that he’s done it a thousand times so right now you can just say that Mike Gundy is the coolest coach in the world Mike Gundy has done it I have four years before I sat down with y’all yeah exactly you think that if I get pulled over drunk they’re going to give a ticket to the m Gundy with this head of hair I’ve had a horse head in my lap and a crackpipe in my jaw and a dang fifth in my left hand you think they’re going to give V you think they’re going to give the guner a ticket double guns baby eight beers and a and a 10 whip that’s called a Gundy I’ll just go into the bar and go give me a Gundy and they just slap a damn uh bag of crystal meth of Johnny Walker black and a cigar and then my car keys and and then they go please drive me home good for my gun thing and in the in the thing about it is that everyone’s like all incredulous about it in Oklahoma you how do you think they’d feel the first game of the season when this kid’s not playing they would trade it all if I bet you there’s people that are fans of this team that if the kid murdered someone they would have been like well he got to let him play he’s offensive player of the year clearly provoking he’s our running back yeah these coaches by the way are so uh upset about the the paying of athletes oh they do not like it at all well that’s how that’s how he started his state college football’s changing okay so let me just let me explain it to you as as clearly as I can I can’t afford to suspend a kid after he got one DUI when he’s make him all this money and he just go to a different school that’s the real story not him saying I did it a thousand times is that he’s saying this kid makes a lot of money if I if I so there’s people paying them so they’re going to get pissed at me boosters blew a significant portion of their budget on this kid yeah so that’s exactly what he’s saying he’s like there are people paying this kid a lot of money to play and if Hees doesn’t play they’re going to get pissed yeah and they these are the people my job and my program is going to suffer because these guys are going to stop paying players because they’re going to get mad at me that I that I suspended the kid and good for him he’s like this is the way it is now he’s a basically a professional athlete and the people that are paying him don’t want him suspended so what do you want out of me and he’s like I drive around drunk I don’t care and they suspended the kid they I can’t suspend them I these colle college coaches man things got significantly tougher for them this is but this is what it is I mean this a good insight into what college coaches it’s also a good insight into why some coaches are getting out because they realize that this is nuts because you were always indebted to the boosters right but now you really are because now they they they’re the boss of the player cuz who’s the boss of the player the coach or the guy paying the player like who’s ultimately your boss you find out immediately if you’re a high school kid and you’re a top recruit you don’t deal you you deal sort of with the coach but okay how much money am I going to get paid if I come to your program okay fine Georgia’s offering one offering me 1.5 if you’re going to offer me $750,000 I’m going to Georgia unless you can somehow make the case that I can get out of your program quicker that you’ll play me right away right program in three years to get drafted as oppose to four over there like but but ultimately when that all comes down that like CU you know like oh State could conceivably go I’m going to give you guys all like a billion dollars and then but you’re not going to play that but that’s part of it but four out of five of four out of every five recruits are the other one right so but you do need to pay these kids and if someone and and if with the transfer portal where you can just leave if someone’s Big 12 player of the year they could go wherever they want to go and that’s something else that Gundy Gundy makes sure okay remember when I fell on my sword for that kid I’ll do the same for you if you come here yeah so everyone’s making I mean Mike Gundy his reasoning was not good for a college coach going I’ve done it a thousand times even though it’s gundy’s unhinged you remember the I’m a man speech you know I’m I’m 40 I’m a man that was Gundy too I mean he’s crazy yeah but but this is him saying like this is him saying this is the reality of college football now this kid’s getting paid a lot of money and I don’t know what you want me to do about it I’m not his boss like you know that’s what’s happening here all right uh well the real go ahead he he went on T afterward uh and and said that uh what he had said at that uh at that media day he said my intended point today was that we are all guilty of making bad decisions it was not a reference to something specific well specifically it’s about the kid who got the DUI I I think he’s saying it’s not a specific incident with him like like like a thousand times was a turn of phrase uhhuh if you thought about thousands of times I’ve I’ve been drunk thousands of times and driven a car that’s a lot of times like thousands of times in re if like if you’re being like like literal thousands of times even for like an alcohol is a lot right like being drunk driving a car like a year and a half worth of driving a year and a half worth how many days are in a year it’s like five years five days of every day for five years driving a car drunk thousands of times it’s it’s like a decade of driving drunk every day yeah I it’s it is not a a difficult situation to get to the bottom of five years ago that kid would probably face some minor suspension from the team yeah really what do you want the kid to do like how like how much do you want the kid to suffer I mean he there are laws in place he he’s got pulled over they arrested him like they did arrest him right so even though he’s a football player they arrested him he’s going through the legal process I don’t know what it’s up to Oklahoma State to do anything about the kid but a few years ago he would have been suspended for the first game yeah right and now you can’t do that because you get pissed off and leave he’s making 800,000 people are saying Oli Gordon yes is nil evaluation all right and who knows how accurate that is all right well with the pros it appears according to Hard Knox the Patriots got a good one we will uh have that for in just a moment M so I know you do spoiler alert and uh Hard Knox is a whole situation it is the New York Giants now the New York Giants if you’ll recall uh have Daniel Jones as their quarterback which is not uh an ideal situation even though who knows how fair it is to uh you know blame him for what’s going on in New York but uh Hardy you have watched this hard knock many props to you and uh take us through what happened because it does relate to the Patriots uh it does so this is about uh the combine and uh the the the Giants trying to figure out what they’re going to do with their sixth overall pick so we have they had the sixth the Patriots had the third correct so uh this is them at the combine the first thing we’re going to hear is the uh as they’re going around the room and they’re they’re talking about quarterbacks they’re talking about wide receivers and each Scout has a different guy that they have to give 20 seconds on so this should be the guy giving his little rundown on Drake May the pick by your New England Patriots we got May yeah so Drake is a legacy kid at UNC that was quarterback there just personality wise a little looser than Daniel but there are some similarities I got no issues with the football character that’s all going to great a high the mental is going to probably grade out high for you guys but of course you know do your work on that wow what what Insight from this guy like let’s go around the room he’s a legacy kid at UNC oh well I knew that like I knew I could have told the guy that which one of these morons doesn’t have M hyper information com to them it’s the enthusiasm for the guy also that that’s the best part my favorite part is at the end he’s like his mental is going to Grant out but you guys do the work on that I mean you’re the genius we’re paying you for to present this to us yeah I just said to get your coffee you morons do this thing I mean I’m trying to scrape two pennies together so the thing that everybody’s losing their minds over is the um the sit down with the whiteboard in the one-on-one player interviews and this is where they you know different coaches will ask different things Brian deall who is you know he got his PhD in coaching uh sits down with these guys and he does it with Jaden Daniels and he does it with every quarterback and you know he’s like do this do that draw me this draw me that so he’s got Drake May there in there for the interview and he’s gonna he’s you know talking him through a play and this is this the thing where obviously Drake May really impressed him with this okay gun dolphin right gun dolphin right 72 Tundra float H angle G dolphin right 72 Tundra float H angle yeah so Tundra stands for what 200 and what does Sloat stand for uh it’s got the corner of the out flag we call it a flag so I mean we end up saying Corner flag but and the angle is an angle you got me on that then you use Rita to the right Linda to the left it was a flip formation good yes Linda’s to the right and Rita’s to the left and both their hands are in the middle they work the auger like a cow giving the milk R and Linda R I thought you said Ria first and I was like Ria Roman I did her in 1985 Norm she was sassy read of the right L of the left 72 five man protection slide to the whe so if the strength of the formation to the right which what formation is that again yeah go dolphin right yeah right he’s he’s there the Will’s over there the line would slide there we’ say 72 Rita 72 Rita gotcha that doesn’t sound overly complicated it doesn’t and I heard I heard zo breaking it down like like Zo like recites these things by rote and he he understands everything and it it’s like yeah that’s just quarterback talk that is you know Rita means right and Linda means left that’s not overly difficult to understand Tundra to under I yeah I you know what I got it I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about for half but I got it yeah like if you put me and like said it to me and then like made me know exactly what was going to happen I couldn’t do it but I I can pick up enough like if you were talking about me at like the nail salon I I could understand enough where I knew I could I could get stanza you I could figure out what you were saying about me like it like when I was downstairs and I heard the guys talking in Spanish they weren’t talking about me but I knew what they were saying remember how proud I wasn’t myself remember when I came up here and I’m like I just understood what the guys downstairs were saying oh that’s right they were talking to each other and I understood it they were making an order for produce and vegetables and I was like ah I’m like I understand what they’re saying all right that’s just about me why not make it about myself all right go ahead oh wos you guys are talking about eggs at that that’s pretty much where we were but there you go all right so whether it was that or they actually looked at the film maybe they just like him maybe they just like Drake May or maybe they just like picking third as opposed to picking sixth but the Giants have a conversation amongst themselves uh and their GM Joe shine and he’s pointing across the facility at at where the Patriots are set up and he’s he decides he’s going to go have a conversation with uh Elliot over there and uh and you know just talk about things the best quarterbacks don’t last in the draft if the Giants want one of the top three they might have to make a deal New England’s as far away as they could possibly be you going take a track down there yeah I’m just going to go down there and just say hey before you do anything at 3 just make sure you let us know just PL the seat if if you are going to move the pick don’t do it without at least giving us a call you lesser btle we’re we’re interested it all right I’ll go I’ll go play the scene I know they know they’re on TV but this seems all very low stakes like like they’re really far away they couldn’t be further away I’m going to have to walk all the way across this Hall well no he it’s actually across stateum now you think it’d be faster if I go this way cuz a got to go through that little restaurant thing might actually be quicker to walk around it’s a little bit longer but it’s a bigger Concourse and if there’s anyone out there I don’t know these are like multi-billion dollar things with a lot of money on the line and these guys don’t seem like and so many people this is what always like boggles my mind whether it’s this you know when they the scouts are giving their reports or in the war room and there’s just there’s like so many people involved in this stuff like yeah I I’d want to pick it third instead of six also is your guy going to be there how many people does it take to figure this out again when we had West how many conversations do we have to have about me having a conversation with the team who’s picking three spots ahead of us we had Wes Walker like in studio a couple years after he retired and he was a Texans receivers coach and he was sitting in here and after we weren’t on the air and he was going he was telling we had like ninkovic and someone else in here they were talking among themselves as players and he’s like dude it he’s like my job sucks and they’re like why and he’s like I’m printing out photos from every game of every receiver on every play so an individual receiver on every play like hundreds of pitchers per game and he’s like I print them out and no one ever looks at them he’s like I’m doing stuff for no reason like we’re never going to use any of it and this is Wes Welker you know the former NFL great receivers coach fairly big position on an NFL team and he’s just doing busy work they just making him busy he’s sitting on a computer in a room hitting the print button he’s logging games like I did at cnsi when Willie G was my editor years come whoa this guy’s had a few gundies years pass I know I had anxiety walking in it’s a p about yeah you got two seconds what uh what do you if just do this for me if you guys are going to do anything at 3: like move out at all again I don’t even got to tell me your plan or anything but if you have any inkling just just call me we’ve had a couple of teams call and it’s kind of been this conversation going Oxford um where you guys six we’re six yeah and uh good spot and not be told raft I mean who knows who knows who knows how but if you just keep me in the back herea just are these the GMS talking yeah it’s Elliot wolf and Joe shine not impressive I just there should be more urgency right I mean it you know what it is as we get older and these guys get younger you realize there’s no one really in charge you know I think like well somebody’s got to be running things oh no it’s People Like Us or even younger than us and nobody really knows what’s going on no they don’t seem over tuned in this doesn’t seem like a meeting of two it doesn’t seem like a negotiation between nations you know what I’m saying it doesn’t sound like it does Winston Churchill sitting down dur World War II could be a Fantasy Football League Draft honestly yeah seriously like Churchill like would be drunk like you know dealing with Hitler and stuff and like uh you know making these decisions and you figure that you get to the table like even in the Liss S Grant and Jefferson like you know them sitting down and uh and you know figuring out how to end the Civil War you think I wonder if this is how every negotiation goes down there’re just these dumb I wonder if this is what my agent does just these dumb conversations that I’m paying them 5% off the top that’s right before you attack this country just give me a call yeah that’s exactly it like you know before you the genocide thing decide to drop those bombs maybe yeah you keep up with the genocide you know don’t make us use this thing we got a guy over here Oppenheimer working on something we might uh have to unleash it on you fools let’s take it easy with Pearl Harbor okay cuz if you do we’re going to have to go Bonkers let’s just put it that way it’s going to take a while for you to forgive very uninspiring yeah yeah it doesn’t uh it doesn’t it just shows that we’re all just people just do everyone’s the same just half assing their way through work hey if you want to if you want to trade out of that three pick you will you call us oh yeah I was nerv is coming in here it’s it’s uh hey uh you know if you’re going to think about well okay all right we’ve had some teams call us wink wow high level negotiation going on well anyway the Giants seem to have liked Drake May so that should make you feel good if you’re a Patriots fan yes they did like Drake may they liked a couple of quarterbacks they liked the idea of picking three instead of six there’s no guarantee that that was going to be Drake May oh yeah sure would have if they were trading from six to three they were going to take Drake may there’s no there’s no question about it that that’s who they were TR they were they they knew Caleb Williams was going one they knew Daniels was going two they they knew the Patriots would take may remember remember right before the draft the whole JJ McCarthy thing and how the Giants like JJ mccth even though that turned out not to be true but at the time that these conversations were taking place that was the narrative yeah there’s no they what they wanted is they weren’t training up to three to get JJ McCarthy is they wanted Drake May that’s what they were going to do if something wacky happened is all I’m saying it was they because they sat down with all the top quarterbacks they talk they talked with all them they talked you know K Williams and they did the the whole thing yeah I mean they they ended up taking Malik Neighbors at 6 if they wanted JJ McCarthy they would have taken JJ McCarthy at 6 yes JJ McCarthy went to 10 at 10 so they wanted Drake may they were trading up to three to get Drake may they weren’t going to take Marvis Harrison at three they were going to trade to take Drake May D Ball’s conversation with Malik neighbors was a little interesting because he asked me he goes how are you with not playing like if you know you it’s game day and you don’t start or you’re not getting the Reps and Malik neber said uh I don’t I don’t deal with that very well he said good I like that he said I I want you to want to play he said but you’re GNA have to you know reain that in a little bit there’s a lot of guys out there prepping every week and we’re trying to do the best thing to win and you may not play on every play that you want to play on but but you probably will because we’re takeing you number six in the draft but it was it was a refreshingly honest answer I thought from Malik neighbors were you know I was expecting to say I just want what was best for the football team and I want to get out there and win and he said uh no I don’t I don’t handle that well well if I’m neighbors I’m saying already I’ve uh gone to three years of quote unquote colge without having to attend the class I’ve been paid millions of dollars double Freedom Rockets if you don’t like me someone else will the difference in money is really marginal and uh what it is what it is that’s true it’s true you don’t like me fine I’ll go seven and play there worst case scenario I’ll go back to LSU and they’ll pay me $4 million so like really whatever you want to do is fine with me like you know like there’s college is not it’s not a can do coach thing anymore I mean look at Caleb look at Caleb Williams I mean there was he was jerking around with the with the Bears at one for a little bit I mean he ultimately didn’t do anything but I mean there was that hint there’s going to come a time where one of these kids is just going to go n I’m gonna stay Payton Manning style when the Jets had the number one pick of the draft and Pate Manning said no not playing for Parcels nope he said I’m not going to New York I’m going to go back to college and then you will not get me all right we will be back in just a moment uh Jaylen Brown he is not on the uh US Olympic team but Derek white and JW holiday are we will discuss Sports up hey we’re toucher and Ry brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook make every moment more with FanDuel 61777 n 985 kawhai Leonard can’t play for USA men’s basketball and uh he uh was replaced on that team by Derek white which means that there are three Boston Celtics on the USA men’s basketball team there is jeru holiday who was believed for a long time to be on this team there was there was Jason Tatum of course and Derek white now uh the woe guy at ESPN had reported like if someone was going to leave the team Derek white was the replacement I guess he’d been reporting this for a while but the question is why uh Jaylen Brown Put at Nike this is what we’re doing John brought up earlier in the show that uh when uh Kyrie Irving lost his shoe deal he went after Nike on Twitter right Jaylen Brown yes so it’s been long believed by a lot of people in be media and around the NBA that Nike has a big say in who makes USA men’s basketball apparently which is what you want uh that’s what the that’s what the Olympics were were really created for is to have amateur athletes uh perform in these uh Sports to toss that all away have pro athletes and have the shoe companies ultimately pulling the strings so it’s just one big marketing opportunity how about screw the Olympics how about who cares I actively root against the USA in basketball I I OB I really do we’ve talked about this this was from four years ago we we we discussed this yeah did now uh no one loves the USA more than me no one that’s wrong if you love The USA you’d root for no one loves the No No I identify as a US citizen wow congratulations yeah my pronoun is USA got it that’s my daughter told me that on the 4th of July oh she’s like my pronouns USA and I actually thought it was funny I’m like where’d you hear it she goes I made it up and I’m like I’m not positive you did uh well Grant Hill is the uh guy who’s speaking for uh USA Basketball he says you get 12 spots and you have to build a team and one of the hardest things is leaving proba people off that roster that I’m a fan of that I look forward to watching throughout the season throughout the playoffs guys who’ve been to the finals MVPs guys who’ve been part of the program guys whove won gold medals guys who I respect and admire and enjoy watching which tells you nothing but the responsibility that I have is to put together a team and a team that complement each other a team that fits a team that will give us the best opportunity for success and so whatever theories that might be out there they’re just that but that’s my responsibility uh there is not a team in the world uh in the world that would take Derek white over Jaylen Brown there just isn’t Derek White’s not nearly as good as Jaylen Brown he is the superior player you can make a million things and I understand having a Draymond Green or a Shane Bader on a US team one guy right like like a like one defensive guy like one glue guy one guy that if things get rough like you know can handle it that would arguably be Drew holiday for this team exactly so when JW holiday was put on the team I don’t no one said I wonder why that is yeah because you could say like why would you put him he’s not as good as Kyrie Irving or like why would you put him he’s not good universally he’s liked he’s Elite defensive he’s not as good as jayen Brunson like why is he on the team but but you know why because he’s an elite defensive player who’s been in these champion ships and da d d and so you get like one guy as I said before Shane Bader’s been on a on an Olympic team and Shane Bader wasn’t one of the top you know 12 15 players in the NBA and he was on the team and you knew why he was defense he told we tell you he Country Day kid Detroit Country Day kid he went to you know he was a defensive guy a rebounder he was going to be not selfish but the the com for kawh Leonard who’s a good defensive player but is a superstar in the NBA and score is is Jaylen Brown’s a good defensive player who could score in the NBA jayen Brown’s better than Derek white he’s more valuable for the team I don’t think that there’s any any any doubt that this decision was made not with basketball in mind there’s no doubt about it you can’t have three players from a team on on a All-Star team and leave the second best player off leave the finals MVP out of the conversation it’s ridiculous it’s ridicul ulous and it’s really bold by Nike to be this in your face with it it’d be like a like an Umpire calling a ball in a dirt strike three yeah because he he had money on the other team why why’d you do that I I don’t like this guy so iy call strik yeah or I had money on the game obviously like I’m blowing I’m blowing huge calls like not being subtle about it like just going I’m calling a penalty on everything cuz there’s two minutes left and I need the Knicks to win like that I mean you you think would be a little more subtle about it but this is really just Jaylen Brown has done something that you I hate doing this because this is just but and I’m not speculating that he did it at all but there’s only two two reasons why this would happen a he’s done something that they don’t like or they’re afraid is going to come out which I highly doubt because because the whole thing about him being controversial is nonsense he’s not nationally controversial no one knows anything about Jaylen Brown Nation he’s not a story nationally the only thing people know about jillen Brown is that he won a championship was Finals MVP they don’t know anything they don’t know where he went to college they don’t know that he supported Kyrie Irving no one knows any of that USA Basketball does but it’s not going to be a story in the Olympics no this is the USA men’s basketball team is not the biggest story in the Olympics the there’s a lot of this is the time to have a problem is during the Olympics if you’re an Olympic Athlete cuz that’s you know there’s some you know figure skater that’s going to like smoke crack or get hit with like a pipe you know like there there’s something’s going to happen in the Olympics I’m not worried about J every single year yeah I mean it’s a and it’s always a figure skater it’s the last one you you suspect or there’s a uh you know in the Winter Olympics there’s some snowboard that they shake their finger because he tests positive for weed and then he goes on The Tonight Show and becomes famous for 5 seconds or Ryan locky like you know pees on a all over a a bathroom and disgraces himself still yeah but so don’t buy I don’t there’s so I let’s that would just be a reason but I can’t believe that’s the reason so the only other reason is that Jaylen Brown was with Adidas he doesn’t have a major shoe contract now and he had badmouth Nike in the past that’s that’s why you would keep him off because I don’t even think you would keep Kyrie Irving off the team based on his comments but okay I’ll ask you this who would you put on the team Jaylen Brunson or Kyrie Irving if you had to pick one not based on the the formula of the team but just if you the big one if you take the personality out of it Kyrie’s a better much better player see I take Brunson I think brunson’s a better scorer and after what I saw in the finals from Kyrie I think I’d take Brunson my point is this it’s debatable my point is it’s debatable okay okay uh in in so so take Kyrie Irving out of the picture because I don’t think he would have made the team anyway because I would have put Brunson on before Kyrie but at least that’s a debate there’s literally no debate that Jaylen Brown’s a better player than Dereck white and they play similar they’re similar size Jaylen Brown’s bigger there’s there’s Dereck white 6’4 how is how tall is kawhai 68 yeah 69ine Jaylen Brown’s a taller player he’s he’s has scores more he’s a all NBA player what are you afraid he’s like and it’s not like he is Luca donic and like doesn’t play defense and you know these guys consider everything whether it’s Grand Hill or Team USA so they’re thinking about all right what is this really mean for not just the team but for the player too and every player wants a gold medal I don’t think any of these guys don’t want to participate but we’re gonna ask Derek white uh to go to this does he have anything going on his wife just had a baby uh what do we ask him to do uh to go away for couple of months a month at least it’s like it’s a long time where do they go first they don’t ababi Abu Dhabi that’s next week London after that and Abu Dhabi is is right on on page with the whole a amateur athletic competition thing he said I’m sure there’s no money grab going to Abu so while you’re G you are giving him a spot on the Olympic team where they are you know favorites to win the gold medal I think they are but how could they they are okay so you’re but it’s also kind of an ask at the same time where the guy who deserves the spot more and who would be better on the team is the guy who as far as I know doesn’t have a brand new kid at home either that he’s going to have to leave for a month but no you don’t ask him you go to Derek white and plus Jaylen Brown is precisely the player that wants to play for USA men’s basketball cuz he feels he’s underappreciated and this could take him to the next tier of Fame and make him a lot of money he’s precisely the guy that wants to play for USA Basketball the kind of guys that turn it down or kawh Leonard that have that are older and done it like that’s who it doesn’t mean anything to yeah like Steph Curry’s turned it down twice like Steph Curry’s doing it because it’s his last chance but Steph Curry turned down the USA Basketball one time because he was tired so like that’s the guys who turn it down Jaylen Brown does turn down turn down the the U the the chance to be in a world stage Jaylen Brown would have turned that down ever you you you shine at the international level you just be associated with that team that millions and millions and millions of dollars marketing and and your chances of going all NBA are are completely that’s in your favor cuz that’s just the popularity vote at a certain point when you get down to a certain level and so you if you were one of the guys at USA men’s basketball that’s huge for you I mean everyone’s wetting themselves over the way that kid played it the the high school kid played Cooper flag Cooper flag played in a scrimmage of course Jaylen Brown wants to be on this team it it raises he doesn’t have a major shoe deal I mean this this gives him a major shoe deal so it is odd and very much in the spirit of the Olympics but I I I got to pick a team to root forever whoever the Grateful Dead doesn’t like and if Durant doesn’t end up being able to play I was saying before are they actually going to skip him again you have to because you can’t put four Celtics on that team that’s you can’t do that true because if I’m an NBA owner I’m like and I’m going to Nike screw you like like you can’t I’m going to Nike no way you can’t if I’m an NBA owner I’m calling BS on this whole thing if you put four Celtics on the team f you no way you share it if I’m any other owner no way no way you don’t get holiday in white no way no way do you add a fourth I’m going BS I Fred toucher would go crazy and then maybe maybe Brunson gets the call this time oh Jesus and then so they just sacrifice height at every position yes it doesn’t mean anything all right we’ll be back in just a moment you’re listening to toucher and Hardy on The Sports Hub hey we’re doing it live this is Boston’s home for sports wpcm and

brought to you by fandel sports book Eddie Trunk comes on later today and he’s going to have the 10 best bands not from the United States and I’m not making that up no I’m not making that up is he taking calls again it’s 3 hours of phone calls where you list the five BS not from the United States he might have done it yesterday but I wasn’t in the car during that time watch us on it was my daughter’s birthday so I was doing other stuff watch touch Hardy Every Morning on YouTube uh there’s a lot of good people on there they’re uh fun and I guess some of them H hooked up all right here’s the deal Jaylen Browns on the Olympic team Derek white Drew holiday and Jason Tatar uh Vasco Vasco I don’t know who you are but you’re mad you you’re calling me out on something who are you you’re on the air Hi how are you guys hi oh yeah hey so I I don’t understand hey Fred how did you get so upset if there’s four Celtics on the Olympic team I’m not upset about it if if I was an owner in the NBA I’d be very upset about it I I don’t I’m rooting against Team USA regardless of who’s on the team but I okay okay that’s a different story but okay so here is my take the Olympics are once every four years that means you have to make it there and only the best ones go if all those Celtics are better than all those other guys they are they’re not no they’re not Dereck White’s not better than is not better than Jaylen Brunson or better than Kyrie Irving he’s not is Tyre ma he’s not as good as Tyreek Maxi there’s a bunch of guys he’s not as good as Derek White’s not one of the best players in the NBA and he’s not one of the best us players he’s in the best team and they have chemistry and they are about three years ahead of everybody in NBA this year not individually everyone not but then just have the Celtics play in the Olympics so that might be interesting you happened before there was a team from a country that they all the players are from the same team because they are the best ones they have the chemistry what country was it one of these small ones what what team was this you tell me Vasco I believe that was a soccer and the 70s okay Netherlands they were the best ones SOC you know they can find themselves with their eyes closed so you know what oh the Netherlands never did that no I’m just kidding I oh Danley giving me facts about England they lost apparently the nther ons lost to England lost to the Euros yet yeah they’re not that good screw the Netherlands Jesus I mean with their uh calm nonviolence ml go ahead yes uh hi guys first time caller listen this all comes down in my opinion to I I want to start an all black ball team in the NBA because out of the four major sports it seems like to me that uh black polish if that’s a word goes on a lot uh I look at Mar Jackson I’m a big Laker fan I look at Mark Jackson Who uh did a great job with golden state but somehow he’s been black balled from coaching the Lakers should have got him a long time ago they didn’t they still won’t no team in the NBA will hire Mark Jackson Jaylen Brown is being blackballed he’s a he’s a becoming a great player uh as much as I can’t stand the Celtics they are a good tandem uh between Tatum and brown he deserves you guys are right he deserves to be on team over listen Mark Jackson’s a weirdo but Isaiah Thomas has been Mark Jackson’s got his own thing but but Isaiah Thomas was black ball off the 92 Dream Team he was yeah he the Jordan and bird and everyone didn’t like him and he wasn’t allowed on he was black balled that jayon brown is being black balled from this from this team he’s better than Derek white and JW holiday again I understand why JW holiday is on the team they wanted him you need one glue guy you needed Draymond Green and Shane bad and he was the guy Derek white there is no excuse Derek white you’re replacing a tall player with a shorter player that like none of it makes sense it doesn’t make sense schematically it doesn’t make sense it doesn’t make sense that Derek White made it over Jaylen Brunson or Kyrie Irving it doesn’t make sense but but certainly uh but but that makes more sense than not making it over Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown is a forward Jaylen Brown should should replace Kyrie Irving it doesn’t make any sense all right uh Hardy we got into a little discussion yesterday uh very special episodes and sitcom history and we brought up a couple of them but you know every sitcom has had a special episode it seems if it stays on the air for I would say five seasons not so much a thing anymore I don’t know if Everybody Loves Raymond ever did a very special I didn’t know the one before this but the theme to that that was a theme to what show is that is that mad about you the one before yeah yeah yeah that was you you know this one yes I do but in the in the 70s be hanging there I mean come on well into the 880s it was a requirement if you were on the air long enough you were deemed an important part of society and you had to do a special episode it was seen as serving the the public and the common good to address some real issues going on there was I I you’re not going to use this so I can safely say but there was an episode of Different Strokes where Nancy Reagan just comes and sits on the drum and couch and she says just say no hell yeah which is the most one of the most important slogans of all time cuz it stopped every from doing drugs the White House had put their finger on the phrase that would save us from elicit substances just saying no and it worked it for you worked for me eradicated all of us well In fairness they were not referring to alcohol they were referring to Illegal they were talk they were talking about the devil’s weed that’s right is what they were talking about Hardy all right so I’m going to give you a scenario and you have to guess uh What uh show this took place on okay I’m usually pretty at these uh and and I I might have issues I have in the past with the contest I might question if these are very special episodes I have just I’m just warning you this ain’t going to go smooth if I don’t do well all right all right go ahead a main character was attacked at a construction site well there was an episode of a very well the the special of Very Brady Christmas Mr Brady is trapped under Rubble of a poorly built construction site that he was trying to Halt the building not that not that type of an attack but not attacked by bricks oh oh Will Smith uh fresh prince of belir there was a gun episode uh where they were where a gun was pulled on him okay um the episode of uh was it the gun episode of um Family Matters when when there was a gun pulled on the girl and urle flipped out oh geez attacked on a constru what era of Television 1973 oh oh I would lean Brady then no 73 Brady Bunch might have been off the Year this is not my wheelhouse it’s a bit of a trick question because uh this show was known for its special episodes one of them very famous that we talked about yesterday we talked about yesterday their famous the character’s name is glor oh we talked about it we talked about the show yesterday I don’t know I don’t know who it is I that’s not my wheelhouse 73 I wasn’t born yet go ahead All in the Family Gloria the victim I don’t like walking by there the workers are always whistling and making comments I told Michael about it once and he said don’t walk by there anymore well it’s Saturday I thought I’d save myself a few steps and then it happened happened it happened so did I tell you mael Hefner bought a new sofa it happened so fast I didn’t know happening button I didn’t even see the man coming at me he jumped out from behind and he grabbed me and he pulled me behind the Mabel says it would be too dark for the room oh glor throw a few laughs in there she’s trying to describe a sexual assault and you know you get a few Chuckles I was unaware that episode existed the only episode of of that show that I am aware of was are two one where the Jeffersons come overh and two when uh Mrs bunker herself was held at gunpoint and uh I don’t think the assault ever took place but certainly there was the threat of it you’re of course talking about Edith’s 50th birthday party and the reason why the Intruder was allowed to enter the house as everyone was off preparing a party at a different location just stay quiet okay what are you going to do you ain’t taking off your cloths are you yeah then I’m going to take yours off you like a cup of coffee yeah there’s a lot of for a show that was as universally praised and still is is there’s a tone deafness to these episodes that’s a little a little off the mark well if you think that’s better we’re going to get all three out of the way Three Special episodes from All in the Family History including when guess what character maybe accidentally somewhat on purpose joined the KKK who from All in the Family joined the Klux Clan well of course Meathead that’s right it’s a meathead no uh Archie join the KKK you join the KKK Archie gets himself in a lot of big trouble on All in the Family that was the promo when Archie was hanging out at a bar and then inadvertently join the KKK yeah well I mean they had they had some good points I mean they weren’t all bad I mean come on all right gentlemen Could Happen anyone in another sitcom more in your era um a camp counselor put their hands on one of the characters in an inappropriate way it’s just in canteen boy is it no you can’t even find that anymore canteen boy like doesn’t exist on the internet it doesn’t they took it off it’s like really hard to find I have seen it it’s funny but you can see why people are like H what era um I’m going to say it’s a sitcom 1990 and it’s a sitcom yes okay cuz these are not my 73 and 90 we’re getting at the end of my era 73’s I don’t even know know I never watched All in the Family um 1990 is it something like Blossom or something it is not blossom I don’t know I I don’t know the episode I feel very weak right now Mr badier Wesley gets molested by a camp counselor next Hey Wesley don’t go with him an important Mr beler might try to put his hands on him or something what do you mean l that’s what he did to me who’s laughing what the hell was going on at Mr beler Who’s laughing at the first of all how dare you say 1990 with Mr badier that’s the 1986 I mean let’s not go crazy oh but what was going on with Mr badier where they had to do this all the time they had the kid with AIDS they had uh the time where wasley calls ins on Mr badier and then they have an episode where he’s just molested and then they never reference it again that’s the kind of thing that that haunts someone for the rest of their lives there’s much therapy like what do you do the next episode after the kid was like at least on Different Strokes it never got there like with Arnold right right like I got there with Dudley but everyone was saved in time like what do you do after the molestation episode you just go right back to to doing the show as normal you do spit takes at the dinner table that’s what you do yeah exactly like they never address it again it just happened that’s right like isn’t that something that if it happened in a show that would be a theme of The Show for the rest of that character’s time on it like that that you could just go back to square one like oh it was one episode where that happened and there was no Fallout for everything’s fine now it’s been taken care of the camp counselor has been fired like you don’t have to know any you never have to see him again right all right um you could not you could not do any of this now like like it again if you were sexually assulted like at a at a work site like that it would just go away the next day the next episode like you would never address it again no it doesn’t get brought up all right so since I was it seems like there’s some meat on that bone go since I was wrong about that show being from 1990 here’s one that actually aired in 1990 the name of the episode is shape up and it has to do with a certain someone getting ready for a pool party but overd do it trying to get themselves in shape for the pool party well uh that’s a 902 and0 episode that’s uh Kelly Taylor the character begins a crash di overexerts herself exercising oh Jes that’s Kelly tayor oh oh god oh I know it you know this one oh I do I do I do okay oh yeah and they do it comedically oh yeah okay oh Jesus Christ um I got it go ahead I got it SA by the Bell no no no that’s I’m so excited no no she’s not exercising she’s trying to stay up so she can be in the group and get the Stanford joh that’s a completely different thing sorry no no no she was in a singing group that was about to get signed and was trying to get into Stanford there was too many cooks in the kitchen shame on you I mean we’re trying to we’re trying to spit we’re spitballing here and you’re throwing out bombs oh Jesus I know exactly what it is it heads up it’s a female I’m going to give you 10 seconds on this one give me the year the 1990 is it Facts of Life full house DJ needs to lose weight oh yeah you don’t understand I don’t like the way I look I want to look like these models why because they’re beautiful well so are you oh yeah well you only one girl in here with this round face and these Charlie Brown cheeks I’m going to call in the question if that’s a very special episode uh list listed amongst uh okay that that’s borderline but go ahead DJ let’s see Stephany notices the problem after DJ Begins the crash di overexerts herself DJ swears her secrecy but the secret is not when DJ collapses during a family outing to the gym yeah it checks a lot yeah she does it’s on the rowing machine she does a lot of stuff I yeah my daughter and I he catching up quick yeah I I KNE I knew what it was but that’s questionable very special episode because that’s every episode of Full House I mean every episode of House The Arc is nonsense problem solution like that’s the like that Bob Saget talks to one of the girls at the end of almost every episode all right hit me with one more okay got one more I just one more uh it was an anti-smoking um episode of this show uh when did it air this I you say you’ve watched every show Fred 1986 um blank and blank learn a sobering lesson about smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco to elevate their freshman status in junior high the name of the episode is chewed out aired in 1986 all right so it’s two High School freshmen Jamie and Reggie it’s not just the 10 of us because that was post 1986 cuz I was 12 years at least 12 years old when that aired you know how I know cuz I used it so that was at least 88 two guys use chewing tobacco it’s a Sci-Fi premise to the entire sitcom or a technological premise to the entire sitc well it’s not Small Wonder Hey he’s a freshman anti-smoking talk to you guys later only not at school got it got it but what’s your Rush as long as you’re here let’s rap and have a cigarette you guys smoke hey we’ve been smoking for years guys no be cool smokes anymore cigarettes are kid stuff well uh ended up being a very special episode nothing can touch the trifecta of All in the Family Holy Cow yeah that was very sobering I was unaware of those two episodes Gloria attacked 8th being attacked there was a lot of like uh drama like very upsetting drama on all in the yes that is the phrase upsetting drama like oh this isn’t fun to watch like I don’t understand why they needed her to get assaulted at the construction site like why that needed to be that story needed to be told like that’s not something that happens every day like you’re going to do that and Edith getting held up at gunpoint I mean they’re in Queens like I mean what’s going on New York City in the 70s was no Disneyland but let’s be honest the Chan is two people in a family that happens to a gun being held at gunpoint in your own home and being dragged into a construction upset me already well done Small Wonder no yeah you get you got Small Wonder I was unaware he was a a freshman he was a babyfaced freshman if he was love but did that did that the way they were talking did speak that generation uh we’ll be back in just a moment remember the uh thing from the athletic I read you about the off season from the hockey teams minus 18 we have the gentleman who wrote it he’ll explain to us why the Bruins are so low listening uh real quick we were talking about this off the air uh there are three episodes of sitcoms and this just take one second that will uh be in my head forever uh cuz of the time when they aired when I was a young teen there was an episode of uh Mr badier where the older kid not Wesley had had a girl over that wanted to have sex with them and he wouldn’t have sex with her and it drove me insane I was like what are you doing like why won’t you have sex with her I was like 12 13 when it aired and then there was an episode of growing pains where the girl the sister from Different Strokes comes over and wants to have sex with Kirt Cameron and he gets like she takes him to his parents room in no one’s home and he gets on their exercise bike like as a joke like to like like not want to have sex anymore and that drove me insan and then the worst one remember Brandon’s girlfriend that set the float on fire Valentine Emily Valentine well she’s on an episode ahead of ahead of the class where that the Dork Arvin she comes over to his house and wants to have sex with him and he won’t have sex with her and that cuz she was known as being like a [ __ ] and like she came over and he was like really nice to her and he didn’t want to take advantage of her but she’s like desperately trying for him to have sex with her yeah and she he would do it and I just will never forget those three episodes of Television cuz they were baffling to me they were like horror films to me I was like this would never happen like I’m like arvin’s got a hot girl over Arvin yeah she’s like massaging his leg and stuff you’re like oh my God like I’m done like I’m sitting here watching on TV you taped This months ago and I’m finished and arvin’s still sitting they’re not doing it and in the growing pain she’s dressed as Madonna in the uh like a virgin how do you like that now let’s get into hockey where does Dom stand on all of this I don’t know Dom I don’t know how old you are but first pronounce his last name then we’ll then we’ll see yeah he has a uh a lot of last name going on uh Dominic chinen that was that was pretty close it was it was bad but close that’s the best I can do it it was like the right idea yeah yeah my last name is t o TT c h e r so I have no sympathy for you it’s I’ve been called everything but what are you going to do you have to admit there’s a lot of conidence going on in this thing uh how do you pronounce it you told me loose chish it’s uh it’s polish the C’s and Zeds do things that uh regular English don’t comp like this doesn’t make sense it’s like a chis sound or whatever and I know you’re Canadian because you just called ZZ which I enjoy cuz you call the Rush song y y z which is Lee calls it I love it uh he covers the NHL for the athletic you joined us on the Volkswagen dealers expert hotline and you had a an article that I enjoyed and I found interesting um and I was talking about it on the air and we have this fell John on the show that’s not so bright and he couldn’t just get on board with the whole thing uh he couldn’t get on board with the minus 18 which Fred and I immediately understood I didn’t feel the need I didn’t feel the need to know the what the the calculus that went into it but the article by Dom is which NHL teams have improved the most this off season he rates all 32 teams I love when articles like this are written he and as a hint he has the Chicago Blackhawks as the number one team and Dom I’d admit I admit i’ I’d say that probably the Blackhawks being on paper a bad team going into the off season was an advantage for them during that absolutely yeah so yeah go ahead it’s it’s a lot easier for bad teams to get better it’s a lot easier for great teams to get worse that’s just the way the salary cap works so when you see the minus 18 for the Bruins just look at their goal differential last year they were Plus 43 take 18 away and they’re probably going to be like a plus 20 team that’s the estimate at this point but this is hockey and the range could be anywhere from zero to plus 40 again and we saw that years ago the Bruins I’m not going to I’m not a homer guy that’s going to call in didn’t call in the yelli I I’m am interested in this because I I thought it was interesting you said the ruins made some bets key bets and redistributing money in town on the roster I’m just not convinced to gave them a stronger one that all stems from the team giving up its regular season superpower the best goalie tandem in the league it makes sense to move on from Lena alark when the Bruins had someone as good as Jeremy Swan but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a down overall downgrade between the pipes especially with the they got from Ottawa I can’t pronounce his name coming the other way uh so is that a regular season projection uh that that all that they’re going to be a worst regular season team or is does that count the playoffs it’s it’s a little difficult because I think they’ll be a worse regular season team where they might have to face someone more difficult in the playoffs like they might be fighting a wild card instead of maybe being the second or third Seas or the or they were fighting for the first seed last year and in the playoffs they’ll be better because they’ll have the one guy they won’t be doing the the back and forth starts but they might have a harder time getting to a great spot in the standings to get there because having those two guys alternate and knowing you’re always getting Elite goal tending was I think one of Boston’s biggest advantages the last two years having SW andark they were able to rest and it was sort of like in b I’m not a baseball guy but you have a lot of pitchers rotating and you get the best of them when they’re well rested I think Boston showed that the last two years and I think San can be a starter and eat up a lot of starts and do well it’s just they might be the worst regular season team because of it I I agree with you in in the superpower for the regular season aspect of of the go tending tan of Dom but it falls apart in the playoffs as does the baseball metaphor because the pitchers keep rotating in the postseason shorten up the rotation you only play one goenda and that was you know kind of my hope for the last off season that they would move on from one of these guys and Shore themselves up you know do something to replace berson or kie and I didn’t think they did enough last season they ended up you know going further into the playoffs and I you know I I wonder as as they’re constructing things now if this is going to serve them you know well at least in terms of paying more attention to the team down the middle and trying to trying to fix things there and saying all right well the goal tending tanem was nice but it doesn’t do anything for us in the postseason when people really really want you to perform like absolutely I think the reason a lot of people over the last two years thought the Bruins weren’t going to be as good as they were in h year is because the roster construction was really strange and they have these two Elite goalies you can only put one in that at the time after berson CI left their Center depth looked like some of the worst in the league and you look at them on paper and you see a very Winger heavy team with two franchise goalies and you think I don’t think this team is like good enough to win the division or really compete in the playoffs and so they they lost a lot of talent this summer but they I do think what they did made a lot of sense in terms of putting more pieces in the right places I’m not a huge El linol fan just cuz the last two years ever since he moved away from kachu and gdo he hasn’t been able to really carry a line on his own he’ll probably fit really well Pastak or Marshon but I’m just not I’m worried about how much they spent on him when he gets there he’ll be their best center and he can push coil down to a more appropriate role everyone fits better with Lind Holm around and the roster makes a lot more sense it’s just going to be probably a little worse just because of the talent they lost otherwise to make it happen yeah you say that they lost gave up a lot of Talent on the wings who are you referring to besid like they the brusk is pretty good but then it’s Heinen van Reams dke maroon that does that doesn’t seem you you would quantify that as a lot of talent it’s not necessarily a lot of talent it’s that who is stepping in for those guys aren’t as good and so that will like even if all those three guys braid out as average if the three guys stepping in are below average or technically losing Talent even if it doesn’t look that impressive I personally like de brusc I think he’s going to fit in well with the Canucks hinen has been underrated for the last years I think he uh the Bruns got really fortunate that he was available so late uh last summer and he should do the conu as well and you look at the Winger death now it’s I don’t think it’s anywhere near as strong as it it was last season and that’s for the best because lindol makes their top six look a lot stronger and that’s going to be more important in the playoffs when they’re facing barov and Bennett in Florida or Matthews and tver in Toronto or point and Celli in Tampa like the Atlantic is built down the middle and Boston was well behind the other three guys in uh in this division okay so ultimately do you in your opinion are the are the Bruins better set for success in the playoffs this coming season than they were this season I think so I think like just in terms of fit that is something that all this math I’m doing is going to struggle with to an extent and Lind hman zadorov the priorities were how they fit with the roster and I think they’ll do a lot better than I project them to the have a fantastic culture we’ve seen over the last decade plus that no matter what they’re a great team they make things work they tend to Target the right players and they just always have a good team so I wouldn’t doubt that all these decisions made are going to lead to value that can’t be seen by this mathematical model right now it’s just on paper it seems a little worse but it makes sense why they did it and I can see I I can definitely see a path where it makes them as good as last year or maybe even better all right well that’s what I wanted cleared up thank you for doing that Dominic how do we pronounce your last name again with the Zed lose chishan there you go L yes read him on the athletic sir uh thank you your article is of great interest to us thank you for joining us yeah anytime thanks for having me all right there you go so that’s settles it they are better all right playoffs playoffs are better playoffs are better but might have to play a better team yes but that’s how hockey goes I’d much rather play a better team in the first round with a better having being more set suited for the playoffs right long as swayman stays healthy we’re good yeah I I I look at I don’t think they’re winning the cup I think they could win two rounds if they went if they went six against Florida this year I think they could win two rounds if Lind Holm is as advertised and is the 60 or 70 point guy that Flo shinzawa seems to think he will be they’re going to pain they’re going to be a pain in the ass to play in a seven game series can’t believe Florida won the cup yeah I know I yeah until Edmonton got hot at the end the Bruins had played him as tough as anyone all right we’ll be back in just a moment Sports up headlines in chain that hangs beneath his breast bone in the middle of his breast bone with a a big steel crucifix on it yeah now he’s a handsome devil and people are are are liking the way he looks but someone said Fred you crack me up every day well I thought the kid was Mr T Jr it looks fine you made that chain sound way bigger on the air you made it sound like he was the SoundCloud rapper Tyler Milan’s cousin’s chain is ridiculous the idea that there’s not a a ground swell of people and this hasn’t gotten five million uh agreeing head nods I mean how many followers does the toucher and Hardy account have at toucher and Hardy it’s even up at Fred toucher it’s 26,000 there should be 30,000 people going Fred on the nose you did the right thing tell him to take off that chain it he’s got a Hawaiian shirt on unbutton three buttons unbuttoned and it’s hanging right by where the shirt opens that’s a three button length chain and it’s not made of gold I didn’t call Mr T he’s like a a Carney version of Mr T this is an neish you would win at a fair which by the way I know someone who on Facebook took their nephew to a thing in Cincinnati called The Ark which is an amusement park revolving around a depiction of Noah’s ar oh hey including a zoo it’s a they got to have animals there they do it’s a zoo and a giant and it’s like uh Bible Recreation recreate uh the story of Noah uh historically accurate it says is is there a uh depiction of Mount erat like kind a some kind of a like garbage pile SED over and said here here’s M Brighton the the ski slope where I uh where it used to go H yeah which was actually a garbage dump uh I don’t know but it was an arc okay so but I but I’m telling you I’ve never been more disappointed at the internet as much as you came through on Tony P who’s slowly dying on it online but the fact that it’s slowly happening is the most fun of all a lot of momentum it’s not quick you get to see that really slow methodical 20p is not going to be a thing in like six months but uh the one I mean I I can’t I I don’t I can’t believe that there’s really people going like that’s appropriate that he should be wearing that I thought I was doing him a favor Tyler Milan’s cousin I take it all back apparently that’s perfectly fine to wear look he has something for you he’s going to bring it in here he’s going to bring it in here right now we we threw that away during the first hour let him he’s cousin please come tissue paper in the bag it’s well presented give him a chance all right Tyler Milan’s cousin all right get get look at that all right you hand me the bag and get a microphone Tyler Milan’s cousin he’s wearing a carart t-shirt today with a necklace on the outside of the T-shirt can you get him on YouTube in defiance to what put YouTube camera on him I don’t want it on anyone else so you can go to youtube.com search uh 985 the sports up I mean that’s that’s a good six seven8 Ines below the I mean the idea that this is not a universal agreement with me is really disappointing I thought I was doing the right thing I honestly thought I was doing the right thing but good for you for not tucking it in this morning and leave it out blazing he goes to Emerson the kid’s got instincts he knows to leave it out he knows what the people want all these people who are chiming in on Instagram look at the YouTube channel right now and it I I think the open collared shirt took away from the see I think it adds to it the it no I looking at it on the screen right now Fred it just looks no it’s ridiculous but the thing is is that it looks ridiculous in that shirt it it it’s almost like to scale right like when people put something next to a penny yeah like it or put it next to a pen like so you can actually get scale it’s three B Tyler mil’s cousin is a thin kid not a short man and it’s three buttons on his shirt and it hangs down it’s like in between his nipples don’t show those like your cousin don’t debase yourself Tyler Milan’s cousin all right so what have you brought Fred what what what is this all right it’s in a Target bag is his microphone on oh no I’m sorry that’s my fault all right go Ty m i was you know Fred the other day I heard you talking about how it hangs between the two peaks and you know I figured I’d get you something since you admired mine so much oh boy I figured I’d get you little something more to scale for you so go you should go in that way and uh all right Toler Milan’s cousin has broken every rule of HR and he’s giving me religious symbol which I could really complain about Tyler Milan’s cousin it’s tied so it fit be it is it is a uh almost like a dog chain with a big uh uh anti-religion uh Tony iomi style look at that uh big crucifix that you’ve made from uh aluminum foil it’s like an aluminum paper like aluminum um like U plastic yeah well Tyler Milan’s cousin you’ve made a mockery of your religion you’re welcome put this right back in the back that was the big reveal I told you to mil a seven-year-old put together some costume jewelry yep CU I got something for the show’s cousin you you don’t turn your back on your religion like John did don’t don’t go that don’t use cheap gags you keep that you keep that you keep that uh that thing on yourself

cousin you’re eye candy I’d hate to tell you maybe television for tell Milan’s cousin why why keep that puss off the uh off the you know why use it an audio medium when that could be visual just take those old highlights off the sh I’ll sit and watch by myself today’s QB ain’t got the same soul I like that old time TV2 Tyler Milan’s cousin all right Tyler Milan’s cousin thank you of course how much did you spend on that was that just like laying around the house I’d like you to guess give it a little guess uh I don’t know I don’t think you bought anything zero around $6 all right well good

face mask through the pocket throwing in the night the night goes into morning just another parade thank you we will be back with John caral he can tell us why jayen and brown did not make the US Olympic team oh Brady you’re listening to toucher and Hardy on the sportsub to wake you up no matter where you are or who may or may not have been to jail get the app the 985 the sportsub app go hey we’re touch and Hardy brought to you by uh FanDuel sports book make every moment more with FanDuel you can watch us on YouTube search N9 CL the sports of on YouTube follow us at toucher and Hardy or Fred toucher to find Tyler milikin chain which is even on YouTube I was told by Hardy they were saying it’s not that big a deal which is just wrong maybe they were overwhelmed with the comedy of the gimmick chain that he made maybe they were bent over laughing and there’s too many tears in their eyes it’s a very large chain you got there Fred yeah very big you made a big crucifix yeah seemed kind of anti-religion you want a big chain I got a big chain for you I felt guilty putting it in the trash I felt like I was maybe sitting I honestly did have mixed feelings about putting it in the trash oh you should have put it up front with all these knickknacks in front of the I don’t think that’s overly appropriate not probably not yeah prob you’re right like I think if I gave you imagine if I gave you like a big fake Jewish star like I don’t know how that would fly well I told you mé Star of David would you just throw it in the trash well John probably would John’s throwing the whole religion in the trash uh John caralis is the Celtics beat writer for the Boston Sports journal.com and you say why are we having him on the V wagen dealers expert hotline well because three Boston Celtics are on USA’s Olympic basketball team and uh one of them is not Jaylen Brown there is talk that is including from Jaylen Brown on Twitter that it’s the fault of Nike I’ve heard that from Stephen A Smith I’ve heard that from other people nationally uh Derek white is on the team JW holiday is on the team Jason Tatum’s on the team John caral hello sir hey how are you I am not on the team no you are not but uh Jaylen Brown is not why um I I honestly I think Derek white is is probably the better fit why why for why for kawh Leonard is he the better fit okay so so there’s two things here if you’re doing a a a switch of like Kawai is out well yeah then Jaylen is the closest faximile to Kawai that you’re going to find I don’t think Kawai should have been there in the first place so I think I think Kawai was there as like a courtesy of some sort uh the talk the talk for a while since kawai’s inclusion has been if Kawai can’t play Derek white is in line to replace him I was aware of that I know that that was the talk but but when that happens you have to admit that I understood why they put jaru holiday on and I’ve used the example of Shane bad or Draymond Green like you know you get like a defensive Big Time guy I understand like one right like uh but then you have three Celtics and not Jaylen Brown like a they have to know what they’re doing and B it just doesn’t make sense if I’m constructing a team to take three players from the team but not the second best one no I I know but I don’t think that’s the discussion that should be had here it’s not that you take the top three players from the team that’s how that’s how Team USA got in trouble in the first place because you feel like oh well if you’re going to take a third player from the Celtics it’s got to be Jaylen Brown when Derek white is kind of like the connective tissue type of guy that that team needs they have a ton of sto scorers like and it’s not a disrespect to Jaylen Brown he’s the better player he’s the finals MVP Conference Finals MVP no doubt but like they’ve got Anthony Edwards Steph Curry Jo Tatum LeBron you know they got a bunch of scorers already and even though jayen had his best facilitating season Derek white makes sense with these guys because you can kind of put him in there as a guy that can be an overflow shooter a lot like the role that he played in Boston if you leave him if you double off of him then he can make you pay he can find the right you know the right guys he’s got incredible processing power to kind of figure out the flow of the game and who needs the ball and when so I from I I understand what Grant Williams was saying uh I me not Grant Williams Grant Hill sorry Freddy and slip Grant Hill was saying last night in the broadcast where you know you’re he’s you’re building a team and you’re you’re trying to put the best team forward and a Derek white considering the makeup of this team you need a guy to get all these other guys the ball you don’t need another highlevel scorer like like Jaylen Brown all right how much was is Derek White gonna play well he’ll play some I mean he’ll play he might start some of these games so you think that Derek White’s going to start games interesting he started last night who what was starting five last night the starting last night it was Curry it was Curry Booker holiday LeBron and embiid and embiid was garbage yeah did not play well no so uh he could he could easily slot in for for holiday in some respects or he could come off the bench and and anchor uh not anchor but like be be the like the facilitator next to Anthony Edwards like they they could decide that Curry and uh holiday are the two guys like the scorer and the defender next to him and then Edwards and white could be the pairing where you have a scorer and a Defender kind of facilitator next to him so uh it could go either way but I could see Derek white starting for sure and and that you know I I think that could get him up to what are you g to end up playing with these guys 20 minutes a game so it’s it’s not going to be a ton of time it’s gonna it’s gon to be kind of like competitive summer workouts for these guys but starting Olympic games like games in the Olympics you think that Steve cerr would do that you don’t think that with the veterans on this team that that might be an issue Durant is healthy there’s no way that H in my opinion John Maybe not maybe not but like you could you could start like the the guy was a starter on a championship team I don’t think anybody’s going to sit there and be like why is he starting if you if you say I I I absolutely do you have guys like Tyrese halberton sitting there no I I’m sorry I I disagree with you yeah and and and if I’m like Jaylen Brunson and I’m looking at it I’m like what the hell’s going on like they’re starting Derek white like if they start Dereck white and lose but we’re we’re getting caught up we’re getting CAU like Jaylen Brunson is not the right pick for the I understand that but but Jaylen Brunson do you think Jaylen brunson’s upset not on the team probably I’m sure a lot of guys are upset that because they have egos and they’re all really good well that’s the point I’m making though about starting is that like but there’s only 12 spots like there’s that’s why it’s so bizarre that Derek white is one of them like Derek white is not one of the 12 best players from the United States he’d tell you that this is this is exactly what Team USA has made the mistake in the past by saying uh we’re not going to take a Derek white type even though he’s exactly the connective tissue that you need on a team full of superstars you take a team with 12 slots and you got nine guys that are Mega Stars you need three role players on there to kind of be like I’m not going to shoot I’m going to do these other things that we need and pass and I’ll shoot when I’m wide open but I’m going to do the other things this is why Team USA has had their struggles here and there is because too many to use the current terminology too many alphas and not enough guys that can sit there and be like I am going to sit back and and look at the game and be like okay LeBron’s got it uh Anthony Edwards does not uh I’m going to run this because this is the defensive matchup that I need to pick apart no one’s processing the game like that and even last night in that in that exhibition you still saw guys who are like oh geez I can’t find a guy to to pass to well time to go ISO and they they had their problems that’s why they’re turning the ball over a bunch so yeah I I get the concept of it’s Team USA and you take the top 12 players in the league and when one of them can’t play you just go next and who’s 13 and who’s 14 but Team USA has gotten into into trouble in the past doing that and I think this is actual team building at play yeah but okay but you’re not but again you’re replacing a tall you’re replacing a tall forward with the a shorter guard and you’re you’re not replacing a skill set but you say kawh Leonard should be on the team anyway what about the talk of it being Nike and Nike has something to do with putting this team together they Nike swooshes on their jerseys what do you make of that that there certainly could be some level of that especially because Jaylen wore Nikes throughout the season but took the swooshes off the shoes and had them kind kind of like redone so there were no swooshes on the shoes he was wearing Kobe Bryant sneakers for I think most if not all of the season but you know I’m sure Nike is not happy that Jaylen was taking their their logo their branding off of his feet and that’s that that’s a personal decision Jaylen did it for his own reasons he’s perfectly within his rights to do that but I’m I’m sure that if Nike had any kind of say they might have been like ah we we’re not big fans of Jaylen Brown and he’s been critical of them as a company uh for their business practices so so yeah uh I’m not going to sit here and be naive and be like Nike had nothing to do with it I’m sure Nike uh had like if they had their any sort of say that Jaylen wasn’t going to be on their list of players okay do you like the way the team is constituted right now you talked a lot about the makeup and you don’t want too many shooters you want some guys out there to play defense and facilitate so are you are you good with the way it’s constructed right now mostly I don’t like embid on this team I think he slows things down I don’t think he can handle the speed um I don’t this is his first taste of f basketball and and you know he’s hurt so I I I would probably have you know somebody else on the team uh e even I’m gonna say Draymond Green but like a type that that can kind of facilitate maybe not exactly Draymond but somebody else uh but mostly mostly I think yeah just just get why not just throw the Celtics out there they just want a championship you want you want to say world champions let’s go prove it um what if Kevin Durant doesn’t end up playing who would you replace him with oh geez I have given that no thought I mean come on they G are they gonna give that are they gonna give that to to jayen and put four Celtics on there that’s when I step in if I’m an owner of an NBA franchise I’m like you cannot put four Celtics on this team no you can’t I NBA’s got to get involved because I I I truly believe that Jaylen Brown’s not on this team because of Nike and I and I think that Nike said I don’t I that he’s on a on a no playlist and you can’t put him on and I think you’re right and I think I’m right I think the reason they picked Derek white was for the reasons that you laid out but I think the reasons they didn’t pick Jaylen Brown at any point during this process was because of his problems with Nike I think if Durant can’t play maybe it’s not Brunson maybe it’s Tyrese Maxi or something like that well you put Tyre Tyrese Maxi on and then not then it wouldn’t even be controversy yeah that’s a guy who plays fast and more to what John was saying I saw a little bit of this game last night and you were saying about how ISO ball ruins this team that’s all MB did last night well what’s he going try try to set in isolation and failed miserably yeah well he’s what’s he going to do I mean he’s old and can’t run I mean what’s he going to do all right that’s another guy that they they I don’t know why they even push to have let him he could have played for France let him go ruin Team France yeah he’s not from the United States I don’t understand what’s going on from Cameroon but I don’t know this he just became a citizen last year congratulations yeah you’re us eligible yeah I guess yeah I mean but then you got guys playing for the Israeli baseball team that like just because they went there one time I don’t know all right John caralis even though the baseball’s not in the Olympics but you know what is break dancing sweet just in time for it to be a phenomenon only 30 5 years late yeah something that was popular when I was 10 and now I’m 49 and it’s in the Olympics uh John caralis said thank you uh thank you for uh coming on it was interesting to hear that point of view uh read him in the Boston Sports journal.com thank you so much for the time you got it thanks guys appreciate it Jaylen Brown’s not on here because of Nike yeah I I agreed with you with six I agree with you now it was obvious and that tweet I read earlier had a lot to do with it yeah he really pissed them off and it’s it’s a little it’s a bit of a shame that we live in such a cynical world that the Olympics that was you know set up to be a competition for amateur athletes and kind of the charm of it be pure and it’s not and now and then and then it was the dream team which was cool once and then now it’s not cool anymore like and now now I want the USA to lose in basketball like I do I want them to lose it’s far more interesting if they lose see that’s the thing it this kind of issue issue is hanging over this team the roster they have constructed talent-wise is probably the best since the dream team this year in terms of Legacy because of the because it’s the first time they’ve had Curry yeah they you have if everything works the right way you could have nine or 10 Hall of Famers on this team but when all said done NBA Hall of Famers they’re all Hall of Famers except there’s a chance holiday makes the Hall of Fame there’s a chance white makes the Hall of Fame the NBA Hall of Fame I bet you John there’s a chance all these guys make the Hall of Fame there’s no question about it the Basketball Hall of Fame lets anybody but I understand what you’re saying I hesitated with bam and holiday those are the two that I was terms oh you don’t think B bam out of Bio is going to go to the Hall of Fame you’re out of your mind he’s he’s GNA get in the Hall of Fame right when he retires oh I guarantee you John okay JW holiday has been on two NBA championship games he’s in the Hall of Fame dude that Hall of Fame lets in the classes are huge they they let everyone in it’s ridiculous the Basketball Hall of Fame sucks oh yeah they’re all getting in Dereck white could get in the Hall of Fame absolutely he could 100% And I’m not being sarcastic okay yeah he’s the only one that I think is a borderline guy is Derek white they’re all getting in Hal bur’s getting in embiid’s getting in Edwards is getting in Durant’s getting in Davis is getting in Curry’s getting in Booker’s getting in adab bio’s getting in they’re all getting holidays getting in those are no doubters Tatum’s getting in that’s no doubt Derek white I don’t know but Derek white I’d lean yes especially making the USA basketball team if they win another champ the overall point is this roster the talent on it is really something else it’s outstanding it’s outstanding is the the best team since ’92 it would be great if they lost that would be fun and I hope they lose to like some small country like South Sudan you want that you want the upset there like you wouldn’t that would be awesome it would be and I’m still on board with I I I wouldn’t I wouldn’t keep Jaylen Brown off this squad because of him being the fourth Celtic on the squad I wouldn’t if I was USA basketball but I would if I was the NBA because I if I own another team Fu they’ve already shown that politics factors into this I would bet Maxi would get ated before Brown now and it’s good for the good of the NBA too you can’t enfor Celtics on that team how much does how much does that really benefit the Celtics though by having another one of their players on the Olympic team not so much does it benefit the Celtics by having the other guy on the team as much as it hinders another team because another team might go well put one of my guys on the Olympic team so I get that press like I can’t sell out my building give me a summer showcasing one of my guys like I want to be able to advertise that we got a guy on my team that’s on the USA basketball team think about it if you guys were owners too you wouldn’t like it you you would raise a fuss if if you you absolutely would you wouldn’t be smart if you didn’t if you were if I was another team’s on say all right you’ve made your point you got three members of the world championship team there and all things being equal it’s not going to hurt the team by not adding a fourth guyy add my guy I I can see your point you guys aren’t going to lose the gold medal based on who this guy is and and if Team USA were to come back and say come on we already messed this up by not you know picking them twice he’s the Conference Finals and the finals MVP I would say that’s your fault for not picking them the two times done this a while ago you should have done it two times ago or you should have done it instead of Derek white I would be like you can’t you can’t have four guys from the same team cuz it’s unfair for the marketing purposes ultimately this is what it’s all about caralis has dug in though he’s like no Dereck White’s the better choice I get why he’s saying that but I also don’t think that’s why Derek White’s on the team I think that’s why they put Derek white on the team instead of Jaylen brown but I don’t think that J dere Jaylen Brown’s not on this team for that reason right because they could have put Brunson or Irving or or Maxi on the team they put Derek white on the team because they think he fits but not over Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown pissed off Nike there’s no other question about it it’s dude it’s the same team it’s the guy from the same team I mean it’s a slap in the face to Jaylen Brown it is it is he takes it that way I’m not speaking for him he takes it that way you would too all I can do is put my in the shoes of these people and if I was Jaylen Brown I would think this what the hell are you doing this sucks and I’d be pissed at Derek white too I couldn’t be mad at him like individually but I’d be pissed kind of like around him like what are you doing like like this sucks like how was how was your summer yeah how was your summer jerk off while I’m sitting here all right we’ll be right back stay tuned for more T and Hardy on the hey we are toucher and Hardy you can email us J at 985 the sports hub.com Hardy at 985 the sports hub.com and uh all these things uh Dave who emails us a lot says uh about the T Tyler milic cousin uh he wears a ridiculous chain that people are are really enabling him about it goes it lays Bene between his nipples I mean it is a very large train and it’s made of anything but a precious metal it’s not good but then he gave me this like costume one it and but then I put it in the trash and and I even felt bad putting in the trash because it is in theory a religious emblem even though he just made it it was very bizarre but Dave says he’s Catholic he says it’s a myth that a Rel it’s a myth has it that if a religious item is not blessed by a priest it means nothing can be trashed however my dad had a crucifix over his bed and it’s over my door because I figur i’ keep my option open uh don’t burn Bridge and that’s the thing is that like that’s why like if I’m in New Orleans and stuff I don’t I won’t go in any of those like Voodoo shops cuz I don’t I don’t I don’t want to mess with that Mojo just in case I don’t want to get into the those Arts you know what I’m saying so you stay away from them yeah I wouldn’t go in if you guys went go in I would go no I I wouldn’t do it you really wouldn’t go into a Voodoo shop uhuh like even a kitsy One in New Orleans or something it’s still weird like I mean you’re still working at a Voodoo shop like I mean you know what I’m saying like if you spend 8 hours a day in a Voodoo shop I don’t think that you just kid off the street so you think those mystical powers like invade your body through osmosis just by stepping inside no but I don’t know but there has to be some kind of benevolent force or some kind of order to the universe there has to be something beyond our understanding and I don’t want to start messing around with people and things that are uh that are that are of the dark arts but and and the thing is is that I wouldn’t enjoy it so like do I think that if I walked into a store that I would be cursed yeah no of course not but uh I’m not you you couldn’t say with all certainty I wouldn’t be I mean you really couldn’t you’re just you you’re every bit of logic in you tells me that I wouldn’t but you don’t know I wouldn’t and also I don’t want to talk to the people that work there and I don’t want and I wouldn’t enjoy it nice to them I’m sure they’ll be nice to you so like it’s not like something like really fun that I’m like no I’m staying away from like you’re not offering me like a a carrot at the end of the stick like there’s nothing for me to chase like do you want to go in this dumb shop no why well I don’t want to go in anyway and why mess with it if I don’t have to now because I’m only human if you said oh in this shop there’s all this really cool stuff that you’re super into but the you know there’s some Voodoo stuff in there as well now you’re now this is a conversation but do you want to go into some Voodoo shop no like if I was in Jamaica would and they were like or wherever I don’t know wherever you would have a Voodoo shop and that’s more far I know yeah wait I guess Haiti if I was ever in Haiti I suppose I’d be doing something very philanthropic so maybe I’d be okay I’d be hanging out with Mitch album uh Joe who emails us a lot says uh the tragedy of these 80 sitcoms that we talked about even though Hardy went 73 on us and shared very disturbing stuff from All in the Family it was Tracy gold who played Carol sver she was a special episode in herself and she almost died trying to get thin that is true and I remember seeing her and thinking she was very attractive and when she got really thin she was scary to look at yeah Tracy gold played the sister on um growing paints and the sister was supposed to be like this like unattractive dork but she was good-looking and it tortured her inside also Freddy I used just the 10 of us as well as the oldest sister and the sister who was the girl from the original Nightmare on Elm Street uh the sister who was on Nightmare on Elm Street was not attractive on just to 10 of us the redhead stole the show and the blonde that you’re referring to was in second place he goes were you by any chance of fans fans of the Goldbergs which is show said in the 80s my children and I when they were young watched every episode of the gold BRS until they got too old for it I got an email yesterday afternoon I almost printed out because I wanted to make sure I I I had it today but I found it it’s from Joe apparently we were talking about sitting on your testicles sitting on your own testicles yesterday and how that’s something that happens to people uh Joe says sitting sitting on your balls sucks but twisting them is worse due to sudden lateral movement I also ruptured my testicles skateboarding as a kid when I human popsicle myself this is my favorite part pee is not stored in the balls it’s more like a clear vacuous fluid I think he means viscous like what zomor bleeds in Alien so thank you Joe that’s where I thought urine came from I thought urine was stored into testicles and and when you expelled it out of your body that’s where it came from thank you Joe for setting us all straight on that notion yeah speaking of religion Hardy was at a very religious school where nothing was explained I like that Joe went out of his way so you know guys if you ever rupt your balls you think P’s gonna come out it’s not it’s not where it comes from no that is that is a mystery that is unfolded that’s like when people say like uh why you said penis on the air and you’re like yeah like they exist there’s no there’s no denying it they do I mean we may all want to deny it but it’s true go ahead Jonathan uh this is from uh Thomas who said I would wear Tyler milikin cousins cousins cousins chain over Freddy T sweatsuits we’ve been in agreement a lot as late but this is where I differ yeah okay but that’s an either or I’m not saying my sweatsuits are cool I I’m saying that Tyler Milan chain is unacceptable they’re two different things you can feel the way the same way about both I thought I was doing Tyler milin as did you guys Tyler Milan’s cousin a favor by saying don’t wear that chain it’s it’s it’s not F first of all it’s not even worth anything like it’s not jewelry is supposed to to be a display of like things of value correct isn’t it inherently and or like some kind of Sac or so or something that’s just really pretty these I love your earrings you know they’re so pretty oh you know what and they’re cheap I got him a taret you know that’s but either has to look really nice or yes be a display of wealth I think that men’s jewelry inherently is a display of wealth because it’s watches or like really audacious rings and I think that those are I mean every watch is a display of wealth if you if you pay over a certain amount of money it’s a display of wealth I mean I have a Rolex I bought it for the symbol of the Rolex I mean that’s specifically why I bought it when I bought it to milen Shain does none of that or it would be like sacred beads or Sac a sacred thing I suppose maybe his communion necklace he feels that way but why would his family give him something so large and not something a little more uh a little more palatable to the human eye yeah it’s almost like his family was giving him a curse while they they gave him communion you were going to be forever have this Al confirmation you’ll have this you’ll have this Albatross literally around your neck for the rest of your life Dave says I love and respect Johnny wall game with a fire of a thousand Sons but what the hell man your job is to pay attention to sports and you just said Kyrie is a much better player than Jaylen Brunson what the hell that was such a Dickerson take look at some numbers a Dickerson Brunson his entire world’s better than Kyrie in every single aspect of the game which is why he almost made first team all NBA Kyrie is a damn mirage at this point stop buying the hype other than that the show is phenomenal as usual okay yeah I thought Brunson I would have taken Brunson over Irving too but at least it’s a debate which was the only point I was getting to the thing about Kyrie though is if he decides to turn turn it on like he he used to that’s why I said person take the personality for the prime time for the cameras now he couldn’t do it in the finals which may signal you know the true end but remember you know Isaiah Thomas would show up you know really big time moments and like we when it national game TNT game he would have those games I think Kyrie has enough of that or I would consider that he’s gotten enough of that left in him on an international stage and also frankly he could found International Players like Euro guys who are not necessarily used to playing against him he he still has the ability to score in ways or at least he did right up until the NBA finals which would I confound some opponents said all that I’d go with Brunson Brunson just did it though Brunson just did it in the playoffs Brunson was the by far the best player on the Knicks in the playoffs Kyrie did it in the playoffs too right up until he didn’t not like Brunson though Brunson was having 50 points games and stuff like Brunson was being historic he was carrying that team and you knew where the ball was going and he was still scoring and I the Celtics at the end of the season they played the Knicks and Celtics are an incredibly good defensive team and Brunson was borderline unguardable yeah at times during that game I you all I’m saying is over the history of his career Kyrie has put together a bigger sample than Brunson there’s no question about Brunson has been better as of late but Kyrie has the experience but you can’t take personality out of it and Hardy made a very good point him not showing up during the finals when he needed to and especially not showing up when he played here in Boston when he needed to specifically May mean that he’s jumped well when we were arguing about well not when we were debating it I I made that point too is that yeah he he failed in the finals like he was terrible Fred must be smoking some special kind of crack if he thinks bam adabo is going into the basketball of oh well I would make a big big big wager on that the only way this happens if he makes a wrong term on the Pike needs to use the bathroom in Springfield all right good L who made the NBA Alexander yeah uh Hall of Fame uh 2022 let’s just go to 2022 the NBA uh Hall of Fame who made it in 2022 all right uh let’s go into it uh the class of 22 to and shime uh well just go to last year just go to this past year Dell Harris monu job Tim Hardaway uh go ahead who won who made it last this year you had chony bips and Vince Carter okay you could see that but the rest of them I mean chony bips b b is every good as b as good as chony bips was go ahead if not better Michael Cooper all right come on Walter Davis Bo Ryan who’s a head coach at Wisconsin I mean Charles Smith I mean you you I’m making your point for you yes you are well everybody gets in it’s that’s the thing about Cooper is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame those of us who remember him playing Celtics in the 80s he was a defensive guard I would argue he’s not as good as Derek I would make the same argument but he on a championship team he was the defensive stoer at guard and that’s why I said Derek white could make the Hall of Fame B bam atab bio is for sure making the NBA Hall the B not the NBA Hall of Fame the Basketball Hall of Fame Basketball Hall of Fame everyone makes the that Basketball Hall of Fame everyone does can you tell the story of basketball without bam adabo that’s not the point here the point it’s not the point all not in the Basketball Hall of Fame the point of all everybody gets in from all over the world the best high school player in Argentina same Hall of Fame as Michael Jordan that’s correct they all go in the same place yeah great High School Hurley’s dad Danny Hurley’s dad in the Basketball Hall of Fame for being a great High School coach in New Jersey Chris Bosch is in the Hall of Fame I’m just putting random years in I mean every year there’s someone who B adabo is better than that’s crazy yeah 2021 was a good 2020 was a good year yeah there are there are occasional good years but more often than not you get Michael Cooper Sydney Moncrief great defens Bobby Jones Jack Sigma yeah I remember Jack Sigma yeah I do too he wasn’t as good as B out of Bio I have to give it to you I do yeah I mean I have to I don’t want to but I have to is for sure going to make the Hall of Fame there is no doubt about it getting back to my overall point which was this roster of this USA team is on not on a par with but right the next level down from the dream team did you say Chris BOS is in the hall yes he and he is alongside Bill Russell yes well Bill Russell’s in it 100 times Bill Russell’s in it is a Coach Jerry West has in it a 100 times well yeah I mean he’s one of the great GMS he did the Kobe trade all right uh we’ll be back it’s very exciting uh with the stack here are the headlines Sports up headlines Oak beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park last night 5-2 they scored three runs on the top of the third inning and never looked back this three- game series between the socks and the Athletics ends it’s time for the stack untouch your

great horse So when you say these people’s names on the air they get a kick out of it very much who who doesn’t who I Fred you like hearing your name on the radio when it’s mentioned on other shows don’t tell me you don’t okay sure don’t you it’s no not really oh no I don’t like it for the most part it’s usually not very positive it’s not in a good context no it’s probably it’s if any other show mentions me it’s generally not for my elaborate talent in fact uh if you go through the Press of my whole whole career if you went and read the Press of my whole career you would think that I was a miserable failure there’s never been a point in my career where people were you’re doing a really good job never never ever things are going well for you I’ve had a Morning Show in radio obsessively a Morning Show I’ve been a talk show host in radio since I was 26 25 years old in a Major Market and there’s never been a point ever where the consensus that I hear is good job it’s always been you suck or some assimilation no matter how much I’m number one by no matter what’s going on it’s some kind of Quasi thing no matter what people I used to work with how miserably they fail it’s all just spun in some way that I blow sure but doesn’t go against anyone sure but sure everything is just it’s it’s so I i’ I if I anytime my name is mentioned it’s never positive well a lot of things have not gone well for you and you do enough of you know promoting your own self to where other people don’t feel the need to do it for you no one no one else feels the need to pump your tires well I nor do I expect them to right I’m not asking for my tires to be pumped I’m not making that statement I’m not asking for praise I’m just making the factual statement that if you Googled my name you would think that my career was a disaster that like I was a failure at this that’s all I’m saying if if you read it mhm and there’s more ways to spin that were number one that are negative towards us that I don’t understand like everybody should be like wow that’s great like that doesn’t often happen like there’s a big change where a partnership after 17 years ends and for a year you maintain this number one rating by a great margin but that’s just that’s not interesting so you could not talk about it at all or you could just go hey the the stage is number one I’m not asking for anything but just this this way of conceptualizing How It’s like sucks in like just some way it’s it’s terrible look Fred things aren’t going well for you I’m sorry they’ll get better they’ll get better all I’m saying is that it it’s I I know it’s going on so it’s I’m trying to just accept it after after after psych 25 years of it I think that it’s time to just go I don’t care anymore just do whatever you want I’m going to save you guys check I’m going to save you guys from a couple of things number one I was sucked into this will Ferell reveals original scrapped ending of anchor man this was on CNN other websites do you right for the most part um and that’s why I I still go on Twitter and Instagram if I want to see a video I just want to see it I went to the CNN page I watched a 302 commercial I then watched a 20 second leadup to the big reveal of what the original and then scrapped ending of anchor man was do you know what it was what’s her name uh Christina Applegate Christina Applegate’s character gets kidnapped by Vigilantes and will frell talking about it who in interviews and off the cuff is oftentimes the least funny person on the planet yeah uh he’s like yeah but people really didn’t like that so we changed the ending w wow I I went I had to I had to suffer through several minutes of ads and a bad leadup and will Ferell talking about it to find out that no the your original ending sucked you were you did the right thing by scrapping it Anchor Man is my second favorite movie of all time but I’ve had enough of Ron bergundy there’s a Ron bergundy podcast that I got excited for and it just is not good and I would like to know how much he’s making for doing it I would like to know your first favorite movie of all time it’s obvious it’s not interesting oh good fellow yeah okay right good it’s it’s not a it’s not fascinating I’m like everyone else um John meany got married I thought he was married to her I thought he was married to Olivia man they have a kid together but they she always has a sour face weird story isn’t it it’s it’s not it’s not your it’s weird that melany left his wife great for melany fans yeah no it’s not not I actually saw him last night he

are fantastic I mean they’re they’re amazing yeah I well I shared the stage with them of course and you did well you held your own up there that’s because unlik that’s because you’re doing a great job PR unlike the chip CH and if no one’s told you that today I want to be the first to tell you if you want to tell you that as your colleague of all these years you Mr Sun 15 years now I I love you and I respect you I love you I know you great J that’s really something I know you do a great job if you go through Fred’s Clips you might come across the uh review of his uh chip chipperson podcast appearance which did not go well it did not but how much of that was on me and how much of that is that Jim and Anthony were on stage together going back and forth and but you’re you just said you were on stage with melany and and Nick crawling held your own it’s a little bit of a different audience you guys want you guys want to hear a great story yeah zo can’t make it into today he had a flat

caring yes indeed it’s h and it’s not always about the show so if you’re bored with the show you can go on there and then there’s uh people having conversations among themselves uh we told one of the great things about being Hardy’s first year as there Hardy’s first experiences with things and today uh when I sat down and then I saw that you had put this in slack John uh but it was even before I saw that I saw that um when we sat down I have a show sheet I’ve been using since before I came to Boston and I write the date in the top I guess it’s just OCD now because I just throw it away every day but uh the it’s July 11 7-Eleven y and so that of course means it is Dan Ro’s birthday and the reason I know that and don’t and have to carry a keychain with my kids birthdays on it uh I do have like little things on my keychain that I was given when they were born that have their birthdays on it and I have had to look at them before I know the year because I know how old they are and I know the month but sometimes the date gets a little wonky for me like the actual day my daughter’s birthday was yesterday and I remember but uh today 7-Eleven and we know it’s Dan roach’s birthday because Dan roach uh was not bragging but telling like a folksy tale uh Dan went through this period on the show where he would um come on and he would say about how he would you know have conversations around town like conversations at the gas station conversations at the Duncan he’s everybody’s friend he’s in like a walking club like that get wasn’t he in a Walkin club or making that up I thought it was a workout Club I thought it he would go to the gym with a bunch of people and they’d all work out together at like 6:00 in the morning I I do okay so I I don’t think that’s what it is I do think that he walked with people I think that it was a walking Club cuz I would have been like you went to the gym with be no it was walking then okay if we if we’re remembering that then it was definitely walking and so the whole thing would be like so and so said this to me so and so said that to me I actually texted them this morning and the reason I know it’s his birthday is because he told the story about you know and uh as a matter of fact I was I go went to 7-Eleven last on my birthday and uh they uh you know gave me a free slurpee and uh you know just just because it was my birthday and then um it wasn’t me but it might have been I don’t know who it was but someone on the show said when’s your birthday and he said it’s uh July 11th and then someone did the thing in their mind and said you mean 7-Eleven and they knew 7-Eleven gives Slurpees out for free or they did at the time to everyone on 7-Eleven and then roach said uh yeah roach just texted me it’s a walk-in club uh roach said yeah it wasn’t a workout Club I would have remembered that uh the uh and then and then he’s like you know the guy gave me a free a free slurpee and then it was brought to his attention that everyone gets a free slurpy and then we had the conversation of did you ever show the guy your ID and he was like no like like you know were you buying like alcohol like in the he’s like no and we’re like well how would he know it was your birthday and he’s like hm ruined his day and then uh yeah it was just it was a great moment because Dan’s uh it was so easy to ruin his Illusions crush the all positive day for him because you know he has like a obviously a community where everyone like talks and they like get together in the like in the mornings and the neighborhood talks to each other which is I guess suppose what you want but but he tried to take it too far put the 7-Eleven thing yeah you put the kaios on that immediately but stepped right on it I texted him before six happy birthday and I and he got back to me he was up MH so happy birthday to Dan and I will never ever forget your birthday for as long as I live until I get Alzheimer’s and I still might remember it might be the might be the last thing I ever say Dan is an idiot he got he thought they were giving him a slurpie because it was his birth birthday but there you have it 7 happy birthday Roi happy birthday to the Great Dan Roi a walking Club a walking Club they get together and walk they probably at different places oh today we’re going to walk around the reservoir in Brook line no I believe it’s I if I had to guess again it would be the exact same route and I’m sure Dan’s going to text me and go it is the same route every day yeah yeah I’m going to say there’s very little that changes why would you get in the car and drive somewhere to walk no no neighborhood why would you be in a walking Club you want to go for a walk just you got that’s the great thing about going for a walk you don’t need to join a club you don’t need a membership you you don’t even need shoes you could do it baref this is instead of Poker man you just get together Bros being Bros yeah just early in the morning having some fun yeah they Dan’s in that uh in that walking Club what the hell was I just going to say I was going to transition into something else I forget what I was going to say oh boy Danny what’s he telling you I don’t know he said it’s a walking Club is all I know is that he’s in a walking Club okay what the hell was I going to say I had something else lined up was it Dan roach related was it Club related last thing before you die when was last thing before I died maybe it was Club related I can’t remember what it was uh I can’t how much Andy Wong really likes you is that possible and W didn’t know me but Andy Wong uh sent me a big box cuz I went to The Loon and when I went CU my son had a game in SAS after he had had a game at Curry College which is South opposite direction the other side City so uh yeah so then we went up to sagus and it was his mother his sister cuz his sister came because of the promise of the lon mhm and for the second time my life I went to callon but when you go to callon you text you text uh Joe Murray mhm and I and I texted Joe Murray and I said hey sorry to bother you but could you tell Andy or tell someone at the lon that I’m coming in so I can get a table and I told you guys the story and the and Andy Wong was at the host and he just happened to be there it was the first time I ever met Andy Wong but it was very busy as it always is and they sat us down and I got a free meal and I stipped the waitress and everything else I told you nice yeah I no not not a dime baby now I knew that is this free or is this free but uh Andy I guess felt bad because we had left by the time he got back to the table MH and uh cuz we dined and dashed maybe the meal wasn’t free but Andy felt bad so Andy had asked Joe Joe is a conduit to all this stuff asked Joe for my kids uh sizes and my sizes and then I got a very large box so I knew the box was here waiting for you because I got a text from J Stu last night oh with a photo of the Box sitting on his chair in the control room yeah and it said package from callon for Fred no punctuation I said oh I’m sure he’ll open it up look at it and leave it there until somebody takes it for themselves or throws it away which is kind of your Mo for things sent to you at the radio station sure he he gave back the widey Emoji which I didn’t know what that meant and then I realized oh he thought he would have some coloon gear for himself so I I I quickly leaned into that and said hey whatever he leaves you and I will split noted or Nick will steal I almost crashed my car laughing when freddit yelled at Nick to screen a phone call because a woman was calling yeah that was yesterday yeah maybe it was Major guns calling in to say hi I’m coming back to the Attitude Era no no but there you have it so you got a bit now you didn’t even dig through the box yet you haven’t properly rifled through that box I guarantee there’s some of those TIY there is there’s there are small boxes within the box so I’m guessing that those are they tiys now the will the these lead me to Vincent Price well I go to a cave and have to leave a trail of popcorn and will my parents have to come rescue me and when they find I’ve been tied up and kidnapped by Vincent Price they’ll just Vincent Price will calmly explain to them what’s going on and then I’ll just go okay yeah make friends with them yeah that’s that’s what will there be a tarantula on my chest will I uh crash on a one foot wave when I’m surfing in Hawaii where there is the North Shore where there are like 30 foot swells Greg crashes on like a twoot w wasn’t he in a there was a surfing competition well okay I don’t that I don’t remember no well yeah that’s the taboo episode of The Brady Bunch yeah but I think he was out there surfing because it was part of a contest that you know maybe someone spotted him and said hey you know for a Howley you’re not bad on the it was a Northshore situation long board Barney why don’t you get out here and you’re a kid from a wave pool in Arizona compete with some of the locals you have to learn out a soul surf before you you get out there but the if if it was a surfing competition they go like let’s go to the lamest beach in Hawaii and really carve up these like these little ripples that’s find the flat one yeah let’s do it in a river find the flat beach in a Cove I remember I remember Vince surprice eating beans off of like a metal plate like a camping plate do you remember that that tiny little detail aspect of that yes because uh there were beans featured several times in the later seasons of The Brady Bunch you’ll recall when uh Bobby and Cindy took off in the Grand Canyon and they had packed a flashlight with pork and beans and then they met the Native American tribe and they said come to our uh our powwow right it’s as your kids say a groovy time yeah and then they did peyote and Cindy got very sick yeah they did iow it was an early for I don’t know if it was iasa or an early form of if it was peyote or early form of iasa yeah and they couldn’t find Bobby it turned out he was in a sweat lodge and uh and he was coming to grips with what his aunt did to him crying and vomiting which is what I I’m told happens when you when you go to one of those IAS Retreats you remember a relative did something very bad to you all right uh Hardy there are uh some things that happen in the world of sport pray tell well the US Olympic thing that’s bad oh uh yeah the Olympic thing happened yesterday uh some developments I mean we could mention it it is after all July 11th so not a lot else going on something that happened with the Copa America tournament and the US uh national soccer team so you know that actually happened so things happened there was of course a big golf tournament in Framingham Mass yesterday that you get out there you go you walk AC I did look at you so yeah yeah plenty of things happened last night you are really uh what are they giving you in Framingham one could only imagine a free slurpee nothing I got nothing not a thing it is for certificate to Jack Abby Perhaps Love of the Game I was there yesterday and uh and it was uh the fiercest of competitions In fairness I went to espn.com and it’s on the front page Mass amateur yeah I mean I got to give it to you go Team USA the link right to the leaderboard without without spilling any of the really good stuff those guys yesterday at at the start of match play played two rounds and everybody walks some guys carry their own clubes God others have their you know push carts some have caddies but let me tell you something were you outside at all in the middle of the day yesterday yes I was real warm yeah and that course humid hilly you need a sherpa just to get up to the green on the first hole Yeah so these guys once if you were good enough to win your first match and I don’t know maybe get off the course around noon 12:30 get ready you’re going out again here right away go play 18 more say hi to your neighbor I followed him for his last six holes what what a feat of athleticism it really is that they were out there I was going to ask if your neighbor advance but I know that that would ruin the whole thing I I don’t want to yeah well you already kind of did yeah I mean he was it was a subtle he was subtly making people go is he going to say it yeah yeah and they were just tuning in to see if he was going to mention it yeah it’s true there my fault he actually collected audio from there yesterday we’re going to be talking to the groundskeeper from the Framingham Country Club I did speak with a couple of guys who were assistant supers they I didn’t get a chance to chinwag with the with the superintendent but a couple of guys I was walking up uh they recognize we big fans no big whoop and uh I talk to those guys and we talked about course conditions and J is going to be played on Sunday morning none of SP Golf Club I didn’t record any of it this was this was my personal time yeah yeah yeah this isn’t he can’t bastardize this these relationships by taping all of them right especially when there’s nothing to be offered you got to get have a couple hats if you want Hardy to talk to you sure I mean they don’t come for free I mean you got to at least reso his or put some insoles in his golf shoes y if you want him talking to you on air make sure the foot Joys are looking fresh yeah I mean but when he comes up people do go golf show he’s like yeah yeah don’t don’t make a fuss that’s right I’m here don’t don’t fine don’t don’t no special two at a time let’s not raise attention this is about the people on the course yeah I won’t charge you this time not about who’s in the gallery right and then the guys playing were like oh I had a a 5 foot putt but then I saw Hardy was watching and it was almost unfair CU I was trying to impress him and then I got The Yips they called the the hips when Hardy hips y got the hips they’re called the hips when Hardy’s in the crowd all right we’ll be back in just a moment toucher and Hardy on the way on did you catch a game last night hey we are Hardy uh Hardy what’s going on Red Sox took on the uh Oakland Athletics again last night at fway Park as their series continues Oakland A’s we know stink some would say 24 games below 500 with a record of 35 and 59 but you know what I would say Fred they’re 12 games below 500 because if you’re going to give them 12 wins you have to take away 12 losses and it’s I I’ve I I was I had a long long time thinking about this in the car yesterday because the Red Sox were being described as 10 games above 500 it’s a it’s really five because if you take away five wins then you add five losses you understand what I’m saying yes if you’re 50 and 40 it’s not 10 it’s it’s five games above 500 the amount still has to equal 90 I got you okay all right anyway congratulations how much time did you waste the well I had long time in the car the uh A’s stink real bad and uh the Red Sox could not manage a second straight win over them they lost 52 last night Alex cor what happened we put pressure on them towards the end we had the big guy with the bases loaded so I like the effort obviously it just didn’t happen tonight no it did not happen but you know you take your victories where you can find them and Nick Peta spoke about the uh striking out of eight consecutive batters yeah it’s it’s it’s good it’s always I’m always grateful to be in that um position and uh to be able to do things like that um it’s good yeah it’s always good did you watch the game last night wall I did I did watch some of that game last night why you tell me why don’t you tell me what happened in the third inning last night they they allowed three runs in the third inning I did not see the third inning okay you you ly to me or you ly John what is it about you that Dan O’Brien says that you’ll leave the house for hours at a time without your phone what do you mean he said that he texted you about getting a Celtics guest and that you got back to him at 10:30 at night and you said I’m sorry I was at my son’s soccer game but you would think that at the soccer game you would be glued to the phone I accidentally left my phone at home it wasn’t intentional you are truly old like that is that is like something that my parents do like phone home it was an accident I usually don’t no didn’t go back and get it yeah I didn’t realize it until I showed up yeah but that you know that is something that that that is people most people under the age of 60 don’t do so and I know you’re kissing 60 Jesus Dan I really didn’t realize it was going to piss you off to that extent it does staple it to my thigh right to that right there that it’s an example of gas lighting I would imagine okay something like that it’s like it’s like changing the subject kind of pushing back with like stuff that’s not on the point I still don’t know what it means but I think I’m starting to get it I I would imagine that’s gaslighting cuz John’s going like I didn’t know it was going to upset you so like you’re the problem like you’re so upset like what are you crazy like you’re up I’m the problem I didn’t respond in a quick quick enough time this is Martyr talk it’s right now it’s Marty it’s gone from gaslighting to Mar you know you’re on to me you guys you guys can’t I now it’s sarcastic martyring it really is a a character defect Nick had the best point about this about John leaving the house he goes That’s dangerous at his age leaving the house without phone should have some kind of a tracker on him or something I know life aler bracelet something around what did you think that’s what murderers do my phone at home they get a well first of all he he uses a ram MCN map to get wherever he’s going I was going to say a mellin Mell that’s a little fancy a mellin I mean that’s digital I’m I’m saying he’s just got a book of maps in the back like my parents do my parents literally they still have maps in the car in the back pocket of the my mom’s car there’s a ran mc mc mcmi uh one of the like the big books a trip tick yeah well the trip tick no I use trip ticks man trip ticks were the balls those things were cool you go to Triple A and where you headed that’s their trailer hitch is a nice set of balls is that my mom has bronze balls as a trailer hitch on her car uh but John John leaves his car and that’s something I believe that Killers would do is create a pattern of leaving their phone at home cuz the phone pings wherever you go if you don’t know this if you never saw the mayor of East Town your phone pings like so even if you’re not using it or calling it pings off the local cell phone towers so it’s always tracking you no matter what you do I learned that from the first season of uh cereal when they were uh trying to figure out if that guy actually killed that girl the pinging on the cell towers yeah was the first season of Serial the guy who got the tattoos all the they he had ended up getting tattoos on top of tattoos or was that the second season of Serial I don’t I don’t remember because one of them was everyone insisted was the greatest thing ever and then it was I think you and I talked about this years ago and the ending was like huh like I did I listened to all of this just to get to this like convoluted ending it’s it’s the one where the the the guy’s high school girlfriend is killed and left in the the woods I think outside of Baltimore and okay yeah this is not the one then it it might have been the second season of cereal and there was like a tattoo and the guy was getting tattoos on top of tattoos and oh no that’s sown oh swn okay right yeah that one it’s it’s fascinating and compelling and when it ends you’re like oh it’s lost it’s just it’s it’s the show Lost so nothing happened yeah like so basically this is just a bunch of crap yeah I listened to all this for no reason but anyway John left his uh phone at home and uh that’s his that’s his thing is that he goes out without his phone and he just he’s engulfed in the soccer game that is going on uh Howard go ahead I’m sorry about that I just wanted to make a slight correction uh if a team is 50 and 40 they are 10 games over 500 because if they turned around and lost 10 in a row they’d be at 500 uh it’ be 50 and 50 so it’d be right at 500 it it depends if you’re referring to the before or the after very good g go ahead hey so so Fred the guys I I leave my phone in the house all the time like I go out and mow the lawn and I leave my phone in the house I actually when I come home I put my phone in the key dis do you guys have a key dis yeah yeah I do too when I take a nap I leave my phone in the kitchen and I buy where I leave my keys so I I’m with you there and if I go out in the yard I don’t necessarily keep my well my big yard if I go outside to like I don’t necessarily bring my phone but if I’m going in the car and leaving the house I I will go back to the house I’ll realize very quickly I don’t have my phone like it would be I I realize I didn’t have my phone before I realized I didn’t have my wallet I could survive with just my phone because of Apple pay so like if I left my wallet and and conceivably my keys at home I could get a lift I could pay for things I could eat I could I could get food delivered to me like I could sustain a modern life with my phone so that would be the first thing I thought about so Carri I’m with you I’m not my phone’s not glued to my hip but if I leave the house the phone is with me if you leave the property yes yes like even if I walk the dog because then I’ll use the phone cuz I’ll I’ll listen to the radio on the phone or I’ll listen to a book I can I can count on one hand the number of times I have left the house without my phone um and and not gone back to get it in I I don’t know since we started carrying phones around you just I don’t I don’t know how you do it and and coming to work you can’t we can’t we can’t do a lot of stuff that we do here can’t log onto our computers without our and also I connect I’ll use the map now even where I know where I’m going just to get an estimate of when I’m going to get there traffic so I use the like wherever I go even Places work in the morning I don’t use it on the way home but on the way here I use it and I take a deliberately longer route because I want to listen to what happened the like late at night so I’ll take a deliberately five minute longer route here oh which I found to be to my benefit because if I just jump on 95 I’m here in like two seconds and I feel like I’m I I haven’t had time to consume any information so I need that time in the car I’ve I’ve stopped using ways on the way to work which I I did for God knows how how many years ways is a Fool’s errand don’t use ways ways ways ways has screwed me I will never use ways I haven’t used ways in a decade what do you use I use uh Google Maps and then before that I used App Quest Apple the Apple the map app on my phone is what I use oh that’s not very good better than ways better than well ways completely screws you cuz ways nickel and dimes things like they I’ll when yeah I know I know what you I know what you mean well first of all in my where I used to live it used to send people off of Route n and down this residential street which is not off of Route n it’s like three turns off of Route n and it used to send there would be just waves of cars and you go okay W is setting these guys out and it was to do a circle back to Route n like it was the dumbest thing it was just to make a bunch of turns into a neighborhood to get back to Route N I was coming back from Storyland one time or whatever the hell is up in North Conway that’s it but it was the winter because it was the the famous game I’ll never forget against it was the Rams Patriots when I listened to the whole pregame and it was just belich going off about the punter Hecker yes just and it was and I’m like what is going on like this is so boring right and uh ways took me off of the freeway in New Hampshire and I was literally driving like down residential quaint New Hampshire towns like I was driving like down culdesac yeah I wonder if sometime I thought about this with ways and sometimes obviously it’s going to do that so you avoid an accident or construction but if sometimes they just if if you and I plug in from this point the exact same destination Point especially at a busy time if it will give us two different routs because ways has some algorithm it’s like we’ve already sent a few people this way now let’s send a few people that way and we’re doing our help to start you know we’re doing our part to spread out the traffic isn’t ways based on ways people that use ways reporting stuff to them some of it yeah so what losers is telling an app like oh there’s an accident or there’s a police officer here what what [ __ ] is doing that yeah who would do that loser you get ways points when you do it oh what those can you where can you turn them in for Bitcoin seriously I don’t know what’s a ways point I don’t know whenever I I I see something and uh Jesus already not every time not every time but if you’re stuck I’m like oh I will I will let people know it’s like it didn’t tell me there’s any traffic here and I’ll put you know moderate or heavy traffic if we get to a standstill so other people know I’m helping people out you’re a man of the people gives you a little sign it’s like you just earned 10 Smiles or 10 good for you 10 Smiles 10 wayes how about that and then you then oh boy it determines your way Rank and then wazers who edit the map also will have an editor Rank and an edit count so you can and then what is the more times you report the police officer on the right hand side of the road uh well then why why wouldn’t I just report crap and then if I was going say to if I was going to Maine like Dan and I would just report a bunch of accidents on the my route and so to hopefully get people off of it that’s right that’s that would be to my advantage I’d rather get that than smiley faces anything to get there quicker yes all right y I’m Consulting ways apedia right now which is an actual yeah you know that there’s a community of people that are collecting these Smiles I mean I can assure you of that it’s it’s all the algorithm baby do you get anything for us no but it’s still you get you get candies bonus candies only appear at Road Junctions and generally get placed on the road along your current path so um points rank editing ranks I I’ll I’ll really start digging around on this you you dive into that all right we have to break we’ll be right back up headlines hey we are toucher and Hardy and uh shouts out to Al from SSD control one of the legendary uh hardcore bands in the history of the former music they are a Boston based uh he’s suffering right now and but uh he’s got a he’s they’re going to bring him up on this at this food fighter show he should do it I’ll do it and by the way you said that you saw the sweatpant boners you you introduced the sweatpants boners Rich there was a whole thing going on now this is Hardy my name is Hardy I’m sorry I’m I’m Hardy I apologize uh I because I’m reading 10 things uh this thing is Hardy uh do you know are you aware of the band Bim Scala Bim I have heard of him I couldn’t tell you a thing about him but I I I know the name it says congrats on the new show I just need to say straight out I’m not one of the lizard people I guess I’ll be around if they start popping up though Dan and Patrick really G anyway Bim scal B is playing two shows Saturday in Davis Square Somerville at the Crystal Ballroom in a MATA in an evening show Bim scull bim’s been around for a long time since the early 90s yeah and so I am all for it I mean I just know because I I I know that is not something I came across recently because I don’t seek out a lot of new music so the Crystal Ballroom in Cambridge a a a local Legends Bim scelean uh Saturday 12:30 show where I’ll be taking my daughter and her friend and then a show at uh 8:30 in the evening for the crazy adults two shows not not a uh not a lizard person not a story not a lizard person uh no but certainly T milin cousin did he ever give you permission Nick to use his picture of his chain for the internet did he ever get back to you uh Tyler Milan’s cousin he says yes he did get permission oh right behind you yeah no no but I know Tyler Milan’s cousin’s here he came in and took a picture of my show sheet yeah I don’t know why but he did he’s got something for you today Fred I don’t know if you just want to do this now or maybe if you want to schedule this he’s all excited he brought in a gift bag for you oh let’s do this now I maybe we do this off the air maybe maybe maybe maybe we take the foot off the gas oh well or do it at 646 I’d say those are the two I’d say those are the two primary options bring the boy in come on bring him in come on let you with a you well let’s talk to Pat Pat go ahead I already did the Indy Wong thing Pat go ahead Hey Hardy were you uh driving on ways um heading to New York City near Charlton on Thursday because it was a nightmare situation for me and my family it took me off the road off of 20 I went through two horse farms one pig farm I felt like Chevy Chase in in in the Vacation movie when I’m lost in St Louis yeah or Deliverance yeah I’m done with ways it’s over I’m done with way I can’t do it anymore that’s exactly exactly what happened to me I’m sorry this that’s exactly what happened to me that when I was in New Hampshire it took me through streets with like kids jumping rope and playing basketball like I can’t tell like with driveways and people having lemonade on their porches all of a sudden you’re in downtown Meredith New Hampshire and you’re like how the hell did I get here yeah it’s just towns I was in oh see with me yeah it it would be like driving through a subdivision I don’t even know they have those here but it would be like driving into Canterbury Commons and driving around on like just like a park but all all maps must do this from time to time Google Maps does not uh the the simple thing about like uh oh the the the quickest route is to take a right here and then you take a a a left back there and if you’ve ever driven that route before you go no no you go straight you’re going to drive an extra quarter mile but then you don’t have to you know make that nasty left turn onto that street that you know you can never make a left turn on to things like that or the psychological aspect of it like for instance would you rather be moving on on um like conventional roadways or stuck on the freeway now like the freeway might get you there like a minute faster would you rather be moving on side streets well that’s why that’s why ways takes you off and puts you on side streets I’m talking about side streets like route n or side streets like you know real roads I’m not talking about going through a neighborhood yeah I would rather not go through a neighborhood I’d rather be on the freeway than in a New Hampshire quaint town I mean going by like a courthouse I like that wayes puts me into to neighborhoods I get you know get to look at some homes get some landscaping ideas sure see what’s going on well keep your eyes on the road and your hands hit to 10 and two 10 and two baby and double nickels on the dime when you’re on that freeway come on baby uh Team USA play a little tuneup against uh Canada last night uh Canada went out and scored uh early like 11 12 points can Canada’s Got a Good roster yeah they got to be pretty good because they got uh Wiggins they got the kid Murray from Denver’s can Shay gilgas Alexander RJ Barrett who’s a starter for the Knicks I mean they got some guy KY o Kelly oen Off the Bench I still if you’re a girl that hooked up with Kelly oen shame on you you did it just cuz he plays basketball with that horse face as good as they are they’re still going up against this us playing Australia on Monday here’s thebr look at that you saw that coming oh wow good work there boys yeah well done it’s like I was there apparently that was uh step to LeBron and an Aly oop so w that’s something else uh I’ll tell you this is that we’ll get into it later but it is interesting to me that Jaylen Brown uh there’s three Celtics on this US Olympic team and Jaylen Brown’s not one of them and the reasons are BS the Derek White going on there was a quote uh from I guess Grant Hill’s putting the team together he’s one of the guys who puts the team together but he’s really not Nike’s putting the team together he’s the face of Team USA basketball and he said that it’s something along the lines of like it’s like a piano recital you need a piano mover you need a guy to set up the hall and you need the piano Fred he fits in with the team better and I’d say that’s the worst analogy ever I would have the worst piano mover in the world do it so I could get the best piano player in the world to play I would I would let I would sacrifice everything they did the best piano I mean if I could get the guy who does that’s just the way it is Bruce Hornsby if I could get him I mean I would I would have uh three dogs to slay the thing in if I could get but but it is Nike is keeping Jaylen Brown off this team there’s not a question about it you can do there’s no way JW holiday and Derek white fit better in quotations on this team or that Derek white is the best comp to kawh Leonard that’s nonsense there there is something going on with Jaylen Brown and I don’t know if it’s his fault or someone else’s fault but something’s going on where he’s getting screwed I thought about this yesterday and if it’s you know I I was trying to wrap my head around why they wouldn’t want the finals MVP Eastern Conference Finals MVP he won backto back MVP awards in the playoffs and he’s he was second Team all NBA last year there’s no excuse I heard some somebody say something about it’s like well Jaylen Brown you know courts some controversy at times like the you’re talking about the Olympics where uh like Nazis went up against uh what what they considered to be inferior races I mean controversy comes I’m not saying cheap these days but this is supposed to be the point where it’s like no ideology is aside about whatever you think you get the best athletes and you put them out there and how Jaylen Brown isn’t on this team well if it’s his ideology that’s not a national story that’s and and I’m not even positive what it is I just know he he supported Kyrie Irving which every player in the NBA did pretty much they all love him so whatever I don’t know what his ideologies are I really don’t and if I don’t certainly the nation isn’t you know so in in there’s either something going on with him that we don’t know about which I would not want to speculate because that’s not fair to him or Nike as is believed by Stephen A Smith and and I’ve heard other people at ESPN say it that and other National guys say that Nikes beli to pick the guys that go on this team Jaylen Brown doesn’t have a major shoe deal he was on Adidas beforehand he tweeted out something to Nike and I that has to be what it is that was in October of 2022 that tweet and I Nike has a long ass memory I mean it it’s I have the Tweet here in front of me Nike found this guy tweeted Nike founder Phil Knight says Kyrie Irving stepped over the line when the Nets player shed and anti-semitic film on Twitter and Jaylen Brown answered back since when did Nike care about ethics yeah and so who are not that apparently is the tweet that got him in trouble and who are the two players that are on this on this team it well but then Jaylen Brown tweeted recent I think yesterday really Nike yes really Nike but that was in after right right right you’re this is punitive Nike this is really what we’re doing here and then so the two players that aren’t on this team are Kyrie Irving and Jaylen Brown and I mean brunson’s not on this team either but Brunson wouldn’t replace kawh Leonard right like if you lost Kawhi Leonard the comp is Jaylen Brown like Jaylen Brown would be on this team before holiday I buy he plays a different position they they wanted him a long time ago he’s a great defensive player they play a high level in the biggest games he’s done it before it’s like Shane Bader when he was on the team like a couple of generations ago like or iterations ago I I get like one guy but you don’t get Derek white and jeru holiday they no way go ahead there there are a couple other things that play here I know we’re against the clock let me just add this Kevin Durant has not played he has a sore calf you know he’s going to miss a few games they think he’s going to be back for the Olympics but maybe not if Durant can’t play and they need another forward would they again skip over Jaylen Brown that’ll be the real test well would they there’s some plausible deniability there’s some like well maybe they did maybe they didn’t if dur can’t play that’ll erase all doubt if they I don’t know because if they if the if Durant doesn’t play and then they add like another like all NBA guy or something I don’t know if that’s even possible but if they add like another star that’s something but there’s two guys that are that are like you know not as highly paid as him on his own team that have made this it’s it is ridiculous bigger bigger travesty uh Jaylen Brown being left off or Isaiah Thomas being shut out of the Dream Team well Isaiah Thomas but we know Isaiah Thomas was shut out of the Dream Team it’s a fact I mean they didn’t like him Jordan hated him yeah Jordan hated hated him I mean there’s no mystery around that I mean Isaiah Thomas should been on that team Chris mullen’s on that team and Isaiah Thomas John Stockton over Isaiah Thomas no Isaiah Thomas should have been on that team they got kept off because of Michael Jordan I mean we know that for a fact

big deal apparently uh the other shows was going on and on and on about how the streaming numbers are very high on the on visually ohay uh all right so uh who’s the coolest coach in town the great thing about college football is that it is not a big there’s places where it’s the biggest thing in the world these small pockets of the country these like areas where it’s the biggest thing in the world but outside of that bubble no one cares if I was to ask you uh who Ali Gordon was I just said the name Ali Gordon what would you say um like a 1930s uh film star like right right when the Takis started uh I know wasn’t Ali the kid on hooers that was that his name he was the granny shot kid yeah so that’s what your your brain Auto you go to to cucko Fran and Ali perhaps cuck Fran and Al from John’s childhood Oli Gordon there was Fatty Arbuckle there was Oli Gordon fatty killed Arbuckle yeah fatty killed the broad well so they say if if you believe the newspapers well I mean it was the black deia case uh Oly Gordon uh was the big 12 reigning offensive player of the year ah ah yes Ali oh well Ali Gordon II that’s what threw me off on the back of his uniform I’m sure I don’t see the second but maybe I’ll take Gordon I I oh very good well this just says Oli Gordon it’s from the Oklahoman which they want to change very bad because it has H in it they don’t like that in Oklahoma right uh if I said Mike Gundy off the top of your head would you know you do you know where I’m going but you know Mike Gundy off the top of your head see I wouldn’t recognize the name but I certainly know who he is he is the coach of Oklahoma State he’s oh he’s like a character from Eastbound and Down he is Oklahoma like he’s got what appears to be the world’s worst toue he’s had it forever it’s jet black and it sits on top of like a shaved head and it’s a not doing it a mullet it’s not a mullet it’s a a hairpiece it’s sort of a mullet but the top is as long as the side Jo just have to look at them it looks like someone glued the wrong wig onto like a onto someone’s head like they like way too small for the guy’s head CU I hate when people call a mullet something that’s not a mullet it’s not tight on top and long in the back it’s just one big qua with the side shaved it’s really something to it’s like an animal Pelt it really is it’s like Gundy put your seat in me uh so anyway so uh Gundy is Mike Gundy is the coach of OSU and so Oklahoma’s on it pins and needles because it’s Big 12 media day and they got to get in there like this is the biggest thing that ever happened in Oklahoma oh can you imagine if your K go I want to go to Oklahoma State guess who’s paying for it not me go go get a Oklahoma State you want to matriculate with those morons Hai Machi if you could go to play football at at a big 12 anywhere in the country like a D1 school why would you possibly ever go to Oklahoma State I just it’s a part of the country that is not much fun it’s really not fun I I know this from personal experience I’ve been out there I know exactly where Oklahoma state is it’s there’s nothing around it there’s nothing to do there’s zero and it’s flat and it goes forever it’s terrible yeah it’s uh it it is really something else it is uh I know people that move out there like I know people who’ moved out there and it’s no fun well ali uh Gordon got a DUI he got a DUI all right you got a DUI these things happen he’s a college kid he blew a point I believe he BW a 01 which is uh no point uh a 0.1 okay so a 0.1 08 is the limit I would imagine in Oklahoma so he was kind of drunk he drove a car it’s not a good thing he guess he was weaving and stuff and they pulled him over as drunk driving aresco and he was arrested for drunk driving and they asked Mike Gundy about it he didn’t suspend the kid and here’s what Mike Gundy said what’s his status and why did you want to bring him today so the college football is changing we all know and we can say these guys aren’t employees but they’re really employees these guys get paid a lot of money and when I looked at it I I thought okay I’m going to be real honest with myself first and then make the best decision for what I think’s good for Oli our University and our team and then I start thinking about okay so right now I’m like okay look you don’t have to suspend him the guy has you know the guy got a I he’s he’s going to you know get the community service and everything else that comes with it he’s hopefully learned his lesson no one was hurt this is why you don’t go to jail generally for your first DUI this is what you know what happens yeah and you know he uh he’s he’s doing this with them asking him not only you know what are you doing but why did you bring him here cuz he brought him as a team representative too which is I think important not only are we’re going to find out what he did or did not do but he brought him along here emplo of the year I mean you get a big 12 you can’t not bring the kid and then I started thinking about being a parent I have a 28 I have a 23 and a 19 and first I thought okay so I looked it up on my phone what would be the legal limit like in Oklahoma is 008 and OE was um 0.1 so I looked it up and it was based on body weight not to get into the legal side of it but I thought really two or three beers or four I’m not justifying what all he did I’m telling you what decision I made all well if it’s based on bodyweight and he’s a running back in the Big 12 I would imagine that would go against the less beer Theory I don’t think four beers you’re blowing a point I don’t know when to get into it I don’t want to get in trouble I don’t know but but body weight it would mean it would take him more not less I mean that’s just a fact correct well I thought i’ probably done that a thousand times in my life and and I you know it’s just fine so I got lucky people get lucky alllie made a um a decision that he wish he could have done better but when I talked to Ollie I told him I said you’re lucky you got out light because you make a lot of money to play football so back in the day being able to cover the cost of what he’s going to go through would be difficult for a college player it’s not for him absolutely mhm that’s not an issue for him so nobody got hurt I said we see people doing this and people losing their lives across the country not just football players but everybody so you got out lucky yeah hell yeah he said that he’s done it a thousand times so right now you can just say that Mike Gundy is the coolest coach in the world Mike Gundy has done it I have four years before I sat down with y’all yeah exactly you think that if I get pulled over drunk they’re going to give a ticket to the m Gundy with this head of hair I’ve had a horse head in my lap and a crackpipe in my jaw and a dang fifth in my left hand you think they’re going to give V you think they’re going to give the guner a ticket double guns baby eight beers and a and a 10 whip that’s called a Gundy I’ll just go into the bar and go give me a Gundy and they just slap a damn uh bag of crystal meth of Johnny Walker black and a cigar and then my car keys and and then they go please drive me home good for my gun thing and in the in the thing about it is that everyone’s like all incredulous about it in Oklahoma you how do you think they’d feel the first game of the season when this kid’s not playing they would trade it all if I bet you there’s people that are fans of this team that if the kid murdered someone they would have been like well he got to let him play he’s offensive player of the year clearly provoking he’s our running back yeah these coaches by the way are so uh upset about the the paying of athletes oh they do not like it at all well that’s how that’s how he started his state college football’s changing okay so let me just let me explain it to you as as clearly as I can I can’t afford to suspend a kid after he got one DUI when he’s make him all this money and he just go to a different school that’s the real story not him saying I did it a thousand times is that he’s saying this kid makes a lot of money if I if I so there’s people paying them so they’re going to get pissed at me boosters blew a significant portion of their budget on this kid yeah so that’s exactly what he’s saying he’s like there are people paying this kid a lot of money to play and if Hees doesn’t play they’re going to get pissed yeah and they these are the people my job and my program is going to suffer because these guys are going to stop paying players because they’re going to get mad at me that I that I suspended the kid and good for him he’s like this is the way it is now he’s a basically a professional athlete and the people that are paying him don’t want him suspended so what do you want out of me and he’s like I drive around drunk I don’t care and they suspended the kid they I can’t suspend them I these colle college coaches man things got significantly tougher for them this is but this is what it is I mean this a good insight into what college coaches it’s also a good insight into why some coaches are getting out because they realize that this is nuts because you were always indebted to the boosters right but now you really are because now they they they’re the boss of the player cuz who’s the boss of the player the coach or the guy paying the player like who’s ultimately your boss you find out immediately if you’re a high school kid and you’re a top recruit you don’t deal you you deal sort of with the coach but okay how much money am I going to get paid if I come to your program okay fine Georgia’s offering one offering me 1.5 if you’re going to offer me $750,000 I’m going to Georgia unless you can somehow make the case that I can get out of your program quicker that you’ll play me right away right program in three years to get drafted as oppose to four over there like but but ultimately when that all comes down that like CU you know like oh State could conceivably go I’m going to give you guys all like a billion dollars and then but you’re not going to play that but that’s part of it but four out of five of four out of every five recruits are the other one right so but you do need to pay these kids and if someone and and if with the transfer portal where you can just leave if someone’s Big 12 player of the year they could go wherever they want to go and that’s something else that Gundy Gundy makes sure okay remember when I fell on my sword for that kid I’ll do the same for you if you come here yeah so everyone’s making I mean Mike Gundy his reasoning was not good for a college coach going I’ve done it a thousand times even though it’s gundy’s unhinged you remember the I’m a man speech you know I’m I’m 40 I’m a man that was Gundy too I mean he’s crazy yeah but but this is him saying like this is him saying this is the reality of college football now this kid’s getting paid a lot of money and I don’t know what you want me to do about it I’m not his boss like you know that’s what’s happening here all right uh well the real go ahead he he went on T afterward uh and and said that uh what he had said at that uh at that media day he said my intended point today was that we are all guilty of making bad decisions it was not a reference to something specific well specifically it’s about the kid who got the DUI I I think he’s saying it’s not a specific incident with him like like like a thousand times was a turn of phrase uhhuh if you thought about thousands of times I’ve I’ve been drunk thousands of times and driven a car that’s a lot of times like thousands of times in re if like if you’re being like like literal thousands of times even for like an alcohol is a lot right like being drunk driving a car like a year and a half worth of driving a year and a half worth how many days are in a year it’s like five years five days of every day for five years driving a car drunk thousands of times it’s it’s like a decade of driving drunk every day yeah I it’s it is not a a difficult situation to get to the bottom of five years ago that kid would probably face some minor suspension from the team yeah really what do you want the kid to do like how like how much do you want the kid to suffer I mean he there are laws in place he he’s got pulled over they arrested him like they did arrest him right so even though he’s a football player they arrested him he’s going through the legal process I don’t know what it’s up to Oklahoma State to do anything about the kid but a few years ago he would have been suspended for the first game yeah right and now you can’t do that because you get pissed off and leave he’s making 800,000 people are saying Oli Gordon yes is nil evaluation all right and who knows how accurate that is all right well with the pros it appears according to Hard Knox the Patriots got a good one we will uh have that for in just a moment M so I know you do spoiler alert and uh Hard Knox is a whole situation it is the New York Giants now the New York Giants if you’ll recall uh have Daniel Jones as their quarterback which is not uh an ideal situation even though who knows how fair it is to uh you know blame him for what’s going on in New York but uh Hardy you have watched this hard knock many props to you and uh take us through what happened because it does relate to the Patriots uh it does so this is about uh the combine and uh the the the Giants trying to figure out what they’re going to do with their sixth overall pick so we have they had the sixth the Patriots had the third correct so uh this is them at the combine the first thing we’re going to hear is the uh as they’re going around the room and they’re they’re talking about quarterbacks they’re talking about wide receivers and each Scout has a different guy that they have to give 20 seconds on so this should be the guy giving his little rundown on Drake May the pick by your New England Patriots we got May yeah so Drake is a legacy kid at UNC that was quarterback there just personality wise a little looser than Daniel but there are some similarities I got no issues with the football character that’s all going to great a high the mental is going to probably grade out high for you guys but of course you know do your work on that wow what what Insight from this guy like let’s go around the room he’s a legacy kid at UNC oh well I knew that like I knew I could have told the guy that which one of these morons doesn’t have M hyper information com to them it’s the enthusiasm for the guy also that that’s the best part my favorite part is at the end he’s like his mental is going to Grant out but you guys do the work on that I mean you’re the genius we’re paying you for to present this to us yeah I just said to get your coffee you morons do this thing I mean I’m trying to scrape two pennies together so the thing that everybody’s losing their minds over is the um the sit down with the whiteboard in the one-on-one player interviews and this is where they you know different coaches will ask different things Brian deall who is you know he got his PhD in coaching uh sits down with these guys and he does it with Jaden Daniels and he does it with every quarterback and you know he’s like do this do that draw me this draw me that so he’s got Drake May there in there for the interview and he’s gonna he’s you know talking him through a play and this is this the thing where obviously Drake May really impressed him with this okay gun dolphin right gun dolphin right 72 Tundra float H angle G dolphin right 72 Tundra float H angle yeah so Tundra stands for what 200 and what does Sloat stand for uh it’s got the corner of the out flag we call it a flag so I mean we end up saying Corner flag but and the angle is an angle you got me on that then you use Rita to the right Linda to the left it was a flip formation good yes Linda’s to the right and Rita’s to the left and both their hands are in the middle they work the auger like a cow giving the milk R and Linda R I thought you said Ria first and I was like Ria Roman I did her in 1985 Norm she was sassy read of the right L of the left 72 five man protection slide to the whe so if the strength of the formation to the right which what formation is that again yeah go dolphin right yeah right he’s he’s there the Will’s over there the line would slide there we’ say 72 Rita 72 Rita gotcha that doesn’t sound overly complicated it doesn’t and I heard I heard zo breaking it down like like Zo like recites these things by rote and he he understands everything and it it’s like yeah that’s just quarterback talk that is you know Rita means right and Linda means left that’s not overly difficult to understand Tundra to under I yeah I you know what I got it I don’t know what the hell they’re talking about for half but I got it yeah like if you put me and like said it to me and then like made me know exactly what was going to happen I couldn’t do it but I I can pick up enough like if you were talking about me at like the nail salon I I could understand enough where I knew I could I could get stanza you I could figure out what you were saying about me like it like when I was downstairs and I heard the guys talking in Spanish they weren’t talking about me but I knew what they were saying remember how proud I wasn’t myself remember when I came up here and I’m like I just understood what the guys downstairs were saying oh that’s right they were talking to each other and I understood it they were making an order for produce and vegetables and I was like ah I’m like I understand what they’re saying all right that’s just about me why not make it about myself all right go ahead oh wos you guys are talking about eggs at that that’s pretty much where we were but there you go all right so whether it was that or they actually looked at the film maybe they just like him maybe they just like Drake May or maybe they just like picking third as opposed to picking sixth but the Giants have a conversation amongst themselves uh and their GM Joe shine and he’s pointing across the facility at at where the Patriots are set up and he’s he decides he’s going to go have a conversation with uh Elliot over there and uh and you know just talk about things the best quarterbacks don’t last in the draft if the Giants want one of the top three they might have to make a deal New England’s as far away as they could possibly be you going take a track down there yeah I’m just going to go down there and just say hey before you do anything at 3 just make sure you let us know just PL the seat if if you are going to move the pick don’t do it without at least giving us a call you lesser btle we’re we’re interested it all right I’ll go I’ll go play the scene I know they know they’re on TV but this seems all very low stakes like like they’re really far away they couldn’t be further away I’m going to have to walk all the way across this Hall well no he it’s actually across stateum now you think it’d be faster if I go this way cuz a got to go through that little restaurant thing might actually be quicker to walk around it’s a little bit longer but it’s a bigger Concourse and if there’s anyone out there I don’t know these are like multi-billion dollar things with a lot of money on the line and these guys don’t seem like and so many people this is what always like boggles my mind whether it’s this you know when they the scouts are giving their reports or in the war room and there’s just there’s like so many people involved in this stuff like yeah I I’d want to pick it third instead of six also is your guy going to be there how many people does it take to figure this out again when we had West how many conversations do we have to have about me having a conversation with the team who’s picking three spots ahead of us we had Wes Walker like in studio a couple years after he retired and he was a Texans receivers coach and he was sitting in here and after we weren’t on the air and he was going he was telling we had like ninkovic and someone else in here they were talking among themselves as players and he’s like dude it he’s like my job sucks and they’re like why and he’s like I’m printing out photos from every game of every receiver on every play so an individual receiver on every play like hundreds of pitchers per game and he’s like I print them out and no one ever looks at them he’s like I’m doing stuff for no reason like we’re never going to use any of it and this is Wes Welker you know the former NFL great receivers coach fairly big position on an NFL team and he’s just doing busy work they just making him busy he’s sitting on a computer in a room hitting the print button he’s logging games like I did at cnsi when Willie G was my editor years come whoa this guy’s had a few gundies years pass I know I had anxiety walking in it’s a p about yeah you got two seconds what uh what do you if just do this for me if you guys are going to do anything at 3: like move out at all again I don’t even got to tell me your plan or anything but if you have any inkling just just call me we’ve had a couple of teams call and it’s kind of been this conversation going Oxford um where you guys six we’re six yeah and uh good spot and not be told raft I mean who knows who knows who knows how but if you just keep me in the back herea just are these the GMS talking yeah it’s Elliot wolf and Joe shine not impressive I just there should be more urgency right I mean it you know what it is as we get older and these guys get younger you realize there’s no one really in charge you know I think like well somebody’s got to be running things oh no it’s People Like Us or even younger than us and nobody really knows what’s going on no they don’t seem over tuned in this doesn’t seem like a meeting of two it doesn’t seem like a negotiation between nations you know what I’m saying it doesn’t sound like it does Winston Churchill sitting down dur World War II could be a Fantasy Football League Draft honestly yeah seriously like Churchill like would be drunk like you know dealing with Hitler and stuff and like uh you know making these decisions and you figure that you get to the table like even in the Liss S Grant and Jefferson like you know them sitting down and uh and you know figuring out how to end the Civil War you think I wonder if this is how every negotiation goes down there’re just these dumb I wonder if this is what my agent does just these dumb conversations that I’m paying them 5% off the top that’s right before you attack this country just give me a call yeah that’s exactly it like you know before you the genocide thing decide to drop those bombs maybe yeah you keep up with the genocide you know don’t make us use this thing we got a guy over here Oppenheimer working on something we might uh have to unleash it on you fools let’s take it easy with Pearl Harbor okay cuz if you do we’re going to have to go Bonkers let’s just put it that way it’s going to take a while for you to forgive very uninspiring yeah yeah it doesn’t uh it doesn’t it just shows that we’re all just people just do everyone’s the same just half assing their way through work hey if you want to if you want to trade out of that three pick you will you call us oh yeah I was nerv is coming in here it’s it’s uh hey uh you know if you’re going to think about well okay all right we’ve had some teams call us wink wow high level negotiation going on well anyway the Giants seem to have liked Drake May so that should make you feel good if you’re a Patriots fan yes they did like Drake may they liked a couple of quarterbacks they liked the idea of picking three instead of six there’s no guarantee that that was going to be Drake May oh yeah sure would have if they were trading from six to three they were going to take Drake may there’s no there’s no question about it that that’s who they were TR they were they they knew Caleb Williams was going one they knew Daniels was going two they they knew the Patriots would take may remember remember right before the draft the whole JJ McCarthy thing and how the Giants like JJ mccth even though that turned out not to be true but at the time that these conversations were taking place that was the narrative yeah there’s no they what they wanted is they weren’t training up to three to get JJ McCarthy is they wanted Drake May that’s what they were going to do if something wacky happened is all I’m saying it was they because they sat down with all the top quarterbacks they talk they talked with all them they talked you know K Williams and they did the the whole thing yeah I mean they they ended up taking Malik Neighbors at 6 if they wanted JJ McCarthy they would have taken JJ McCarthy at 6 yes JJ McCarthy went to 10 at 10 so they wanted Drake may they were trading up to three to get Drake may they weren’t going to take Marvis Harrison at three they were going to trade to take Drake May D Ball’s conversation with Malik neighbors was a little interesting because he asked me he goes how are you with not playing like if you know you it’s game day and you don’t start or you’re not getting the Reps and Malik neber said uh I don’t I don’t deal with that very well he said good I like that he said I I want you to want to play he said but you’re GNA have to you know reain that in a little bit there’s a lot of guys out there prepping every week and we’re trying to do the best thing to win and you may not play on every play that you want to play on but but you probably will because we’re takeing you number six in the draft but it was it was a refreshingly honest answer I thought from Malik neighbors were you know I was expecting to say I just want what was best for the football team and I want to get out there and win and he said uh no I don’t I don’t handle that well well if I’m neighbors I’m saying already I’ve uh gone to three years of quote unquote colge without having to attend the class I’ve been paid millions of dollars double Freedom Rockets if you don’t like me someone else will the difference in money is really marginal and uh what it is what it is that’s true it’s true you don’t like me fine I’ll go seven and play there worst case scenario I’ll go back to LSU and they’ll pay me $4 million so like really whatever you want to do is fine with me like you know like there’s college is not it’s not a can do coach thing anymore I mean look at Caleb look at Caleb Williams I mean there was he was jerking around with the with the Bears at one for a little bit I mean he ultimately didn’t do anything but I mean there was that hint there’s going to come a time where one of these kids is just going to go n I’m gonna stay Payton Manning style when the Jets had the number one pick of the draft and Pate Manning said no not playing for Parcels nope he said I’m not going to New York I’m going to go back to college and then you will not get me all right we will be back in just a moment uh Jaylen Brown he is not on the uh US Olympic team but Derek white and JW holiday are we will discuss Sports up hey we’re toucher and Ry brought to you by FanDuel Sportsbook make every moment more with FanDuel 61777 n 985 kawhai Leonard can’t play for USA men’s basketball and uh he uh was replaced on that team by Derek white which means that there are three Boston Celtics on the USA men’s basketball team there is jeru holiday who was believed for a long time to be on this team there was there was Jason Tatum of course and Derek white now uh the woe guy at ESPN had reported like if someone was going to leave the team Derek white was the replacement I guess he’d been reporting this for a while but the question is why uh Jaylen Brown Put at Nike this is what we’re doing John brought up earlier in the show that uh when uh Kyrie Irving lost his shoe deal he went after Nike on Twitter right Jaylen Brown yes so it’s been long believed by a lot of people in be media and around the NBA that Nike has a big say in who makes USA men’s basketball apparently which is what you want uh that’s what the that’s what the Olympics were were really created for is to have amateur athletes uh perform in these uh Sports to toss that all away have pro athletes and have the shoe companies ultimately pulling the strings so it’s just one big marketing opportunity how about screw the Olympics how about who cares I actively root against the USA in basketball I I OB I really do we’ve talked about this this was from four years ago we we we discussed this yeah did now uh no one loves the USA more than me no one that’s wrong if you love The USA you’d root for no one loves the No No I identify as a US citizen wow congratulations yeah my pronoun is USA got it that’s my daughter told me that on the 4th of July oh she’s like my pronouns USA and I actually thought it was funny I’m like where’d you hear it she goes I made it up and I’m like I’m not positive you did uh well Grant Hill is the uh guy who’s speaking for uh USA Basketball he says you get 12 spots and you have to build a team and one of the hardest things is leaving proba people off that roster that I’m a fan of that I look forward to watching throughout the season throughout the playoffs guys who’ve been to the finals MVPs guys who’ve been part of the program guys whove won gold medals guys who I respect and admire and enjoy watching which tells you nothing but the responsibility that I have is to put together a team and a team that complement each other a team that fits a team that will give us the best opportunity for success and so whatever theories that might be out there they’re just that but that’s my responsibility uh there is not a team in the world uh in the world that would take Derek white over Jaylen Brown there just isn’t Derek White’s not nearly as good as Jaylen Brown he is the superior player you can make a million things and I understand having a Draymond Green or a Shane Bader on a US team one guy right like like a like one defensive guy like one glue guy one guy that if things get rough like you know can handle it that would arguably be Drew holiday for this team exactly so when JW holiday was put on the team I don’t no one said I wonder why that is yeah because you could say like why would you put him he’s not as good as Kyrie Irving or like why would you put him he’s not good universally he’s liked he’s Elite defensive he’s not as good as jayen Brunson like why is he on the team but but you know why because he’s an elite defensive player who’s been in these champion ships and da d d and so you get like one guy as I said before Shane Bader’s been on a on an Olympic team and Shane Bader wasn’t one of the top you know 12 15 players in the NBA and he was on the team and you knew why he was defense he told we tell you he Country Day kid Detroit Country Day kid he went to you know he was a defensive guy a rebounder he was going to be not selfish but the the com for kawh Leonard who’s a good defensive player but is a superstar in the NBA and score is is Jaylen Brown’s a good defensive player who could score in the NBA jayen Brown’s better than Derek white he’s more valuable for the team I don’t think that there’s any any any doubt that this decision was made not with basketball in mind there’s no doubt about it you can’t have three players from a team on on a All-Star team and leave the second best player off leave the finals MVP out of the conversation it’s ridiculous it’s ridicul ulous and it’s really bold by Nike to be this in your face with it it’d be like a like an Umpire calling a ball in a dirt strike three yeah because he he had money on the other team why why’d you do that I I don’t like this guy so iy call strik yeah or I had money on the game obviously like I’m blowing I’m blowing huge calls like not being subtle about it like just going I’m calling a penalty on everything cuz there’s two minutes left and I need the Knicks to win like that I mean you you think would be a little more subtle about it but this is really just Jaylen Brown has done something that you I hate doing this because this is just but and I’m not speculating that he did it at all but there’s only two two reasons why this would happen a he’s done something that they don’t like or they’re afraid is going to come out which I highly doubt because because the whole thing about him being controversial is nonsense he’s not nationally controversial no one knows anything about Jaylen Brown Nation he’s not a story nationally the only thing people know about jillen Brown is that he won a championship was Finals MVP they don’t know anything they don’t know where he went to college they don’t know that he supported Kyrie Irving no one knows any of that USA Basketball does but it’s not going to be a story in the Olympics no this is the USA men’s basketball team is not the biggest story in the Olympics the there’s a lot of this is the time to have a problem is during the Olympics if you’re an Olympic Athlete cuz that’s you know there’s some you know figure skater that’s going to like smoke crack or get hit with like a pipe you know like there there’s something’s going to happen in the Olympics I’m not worried about J every single year yeah I mean it’s a and it’s always a figure skater it’s the last one you you suspect or there’s a uh you know in the Winter Olympics there’s some snowboard that they shake their finger because he tests positive for weed and then he goes on The Tonight Show and becomes famous for 5 seconds or Ryan locky like you know pees on a all over a a bathroom and disgraces himself still yeah but so don’t buy I don’t there’s so I let’s that would just be a reason but I can’t believe that’s the reason so the only other reason is that Jaylen Brown was with Adidas he doesn’t have a major shoe contract now and he had badmouth Nike in the past that’s that’s why you would keep him off because I don’t even think you would keep Kyrie Irving off the team based on his comments but okay I’ll ask you this who would you put on the team Jaylen Brunson or Kyrie Irving if you had to pick one not based on the the formula of the team but just if you the big one if you take the personality out of it Kyrie’s a better much better player see I take Brunson I think brunson’s a better scorer and after what I saw in the finals from Kyrie I think I’d take Brunson my point is this it’s debatable my point is it’s debatable okay okay uh in in so so take Kyrie Irving out of the picture because I don’t think he would have made the team anyway because I would have put Brunson on before Kyrie but at least that’s a debate there’s literally no debate that Jaylen Brown’s a better player than Dereck white and they play similar they’re similar size Jaylen Brown’s bigger there’s there’s Dereck white 6’4 how is how tall is kawhai 68 yeah 69ine Jaylen Brown’s a taller player he’s he’s has scores more he’s a all NBA player what are you afraid he’s like and it’s not like he is Luca donic and like doesn’t play defense and you know these guys consider everything whether it’s Grand Hill or Team USA so they’re thinking about all right what is this really mean for not just the team but for the player too and every player wants a gold medal I don’t think any of these guys don’t want to participate but we’re gonna ask Derek white uh to go to this does he have anything going on his wife just had a baby uh what do we ask him to do uh to go away for couple of months a month at least it’s like it’s a long time where do they go first they don’t ababi Abu Dhabi that’s next week London after that and Abu Dhabi is is right on on page with the whole a amateur athletic competition thing he said I’m sure there’s no money grab going to Abu so while you’re G you are giving him a spot on the Olympic team where they are you know favorites to win the gold medal I think they are but how could they they are okay so you’re but it’s also kind of an ask at the same time where the guy who deserves the spot more and who would be better on the team is the guy who as far as I know doesn’t have a brand new kid at home either that he’s going to have to leave for a month but no you don’t ask him you go to Derek white and plus Jaylen Brown is precisely the player that wants to play for USA men’s basketball cuz he feels he’s underappreciated and this could take him to the next tier of Fame and make him a lot of money he’s precisely the guy that wants to play for USA Basketball the kind of guys that turn it down or kawh Leonard that have that are older and done it like that’s who it doesn’t mean anything to yeah like Steph Curry’s turned it down twice like Steph Curry’s doing it because it’s his last chance but Steph Curry turned down the USA Basketball one time because he was tired so like that’s the guys who turn it down Jaylen Brown does turn down turn down the the U the the chance to be in a world stage Jaylen Brown would have turned that down ever you you you shine at the international level you just be associated with that team that millions and millions and millions of dollars marketing and and your chances of going all NBA are are completely that’s in your favor cuz that’s just the popularity vote at a certain point when you get down to a certain level and so you if you were one of the guys at USA men’s basketball that’s huge for you I mean everyone’s wetting themselves over the way that kid played it the the high school kid played Cooper flag Cooper flag played in a scrimmage of course Jaylen Brown wants to be on this team it it raises he doesn’t have a major shoe deal I mean this this gives him a major shoe deal so it is odd and very much in the spirit of the Olympics but I I I got to pick a team to root forever whoever the Grateful Dead doesn’t like and if Durant doesn’t end up being able to play I was saying before are they actually going to skip him again you have to because you can’t put four Celtics on that team that’s you can’t do that true because if I’m an NBA owner I’m like and I’m going to Nike screw you like like you can’t I’m going to Nike no way you can’t if I’m an NBA owner I’m calling BS on this whole thing if you put four Celtics on the team f you no way you share it if I’m any other owner no way no way you don’t get holiday in white no way no way do you add a fourth I’m going BS I Fred toucher would go crazy and then maybe maybe Brunson gets the call this time oh Jesus and then so they just sacrifice height at every position yes it doesn’t mean anything all right we’ll be back in just a moment you’re listening to toucher and Hardy on The Sports Hub hey we’re doing it live this is Boston’s home for sports wpcm and

brought to you by fandel sports book Eddie Trunk comes on later today and he’s going to have the 10 best bands not from the United States and I’m not making that up no I’m not making that up is he taking calls again it’s 3 hours of phone calls where you list the five BS not from the United States he might have done it yesterday but I wasn’t in the car during that time watch us on it was my daughter’s birthday so I was doing other stuff watch touch Hardy Every Morning on YouTube uh there’s a lot of good people on there they’re uh fun and I guess some of them H hooked up all right here’s the deal Jaylen Browns on the Olympic team Derek white Drew holiday and Jason Tatar uh Vasco Vasco I don’t know who you are but you’re mad you you’re calling me out on something who are you you’re on the air Hi how are you guys hi oh yeah hey so I I don’t understand hey Fred how did you get so upset if there’s four Celtics on the Olympic team I’m not upset about it if if I was an owner in the NBA I’d be very upset about it I I don’t I’m rooting against Team USA regardless of who’s on the team but I okay okay that’s a different story but okay so here is my take the Olympics are once every four years that means you have to make it there and only the best ones go if all those Celtics are better than all those other guys they are they’re not no they’re not Dereck White’s not better than is not better than Jaylen Brunson or better than Kyrie Irving he’s not is Tyre ma he’s not as good as Tyreek Maxi there’s a bunch of guys he’s not as good as Derek White’s not one of the best players in the NBA and he’s not one of the best us players he’s in the best team and they have chemistry and they are about three years ahead of everybody in NBA this year not individually everyone not but then just have the Celtics play in the Olympics so that might be interesting you happened before there was a team from a country that they all the players are from the same team because they are the best ones they have the chemistry what country was it one of these small ones what what team was this you tell me Vasco I believe that was a soccer and the 70s okay Netherlands they were the best ones SOC you know they can find themselves with their eyes closed so you know what oh the Netherlands never did that no I’m just kidding I oh Danley giving me facts about England they lost apparently the nther ons lost to England lost to the Euros yet yeah they’re not that good screw the Netherlands Jesus I mean with their uh calm nonviolence ml go ahead yes uh hi guys first time caller listen this all comes down in my opinion to I I want to start an all black ball team in the NBA because out of the four major sports it seems like to me that uh black polish if that’s a word goes on a lot uh I look at Mar Jackson I’m a big Laker fan I look at Mark Jackson Who uh did a great job with golden state but somehow he’s been black balled from coaching the Lakers should have got him a long time ago they didn’t they still won’t no team in the NBA will hire Mark Jackson Jaylen Brown is being blackballed he’s a he’s a becoming a great player uh as much as I can’t stand the Celtics they are a good tandem uh between Tatum and brown he deserves you guys are right he deserves to be on team over listen Mark Jackson’s a weirdo but Isaiah Thomas has been Mark Jackson’s got his own thing but but Isaiah Thomas was black ball off the 92 Dream Team he was yeah he the Jordan and bird and everyone didn’t like him and he wasn’t allowed on he was black balled that jayon brown is being black balled from this from this team he’s better than Derek white and JW holiday again I understand why JW holiday is on the team they wanted him you need one glue guy you needed Draymond Green and Shane bad and he was the guy Derek white there is no excuse Derek white you’re replacing a tall player with a shorter player that like none of it makes sense it doesn’t make sense schematically it doesn’t make sense it doesn’t make sense that Derek White made it over Jaylen Brunson or Kyrie Irving it doesn’t make sense but but certainly uh but but that makes more sense than not making it over Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown is a forward Jaylen Brown should should replace Kyrie Irving it doesn’t make any sense all right uh Hardy we got into a little discussion yesterday uh very special episodes and sitcom history and we brought up a couple of them but you know every sitcom has had a special episode it seems if it stays on the air for I would say five seasons not so much a thing anymore I don’t know if Everybody Loves Raymond ever did a very special I didn’t know the one before this but the theme to that that was a theme to what show is that is that mad about you the one before yeah yeah yeah that was you you know this one yes I do but in the in the 70s be hanging there I mean come on well into the 880s it was a requirement if you were on the air long enough you were deemed an important part of society and you had to do a special episode it was seen as serving the the public and the common good to address some real issues going on there was I I you’re not going to use this so I can safely say but there was an episode of Different Strokes where Nancy Reagan just comes and sits on the drum and couch and she says just say no hell yeah which is the most one of the most important slogans of all time cuz it stopped every from doing drugs the White House had put their finger on the phrase that would save us from elicit substances just saying no and it worked it for you worked for me eradicated all of us well In fairness they were not referring to alcohol they were referring to Illegal they were talk they were talking about the devil’s weed that’s right is what they were talking about Hardy all right so I’m going to give you a scenario and you have to guess uh What uh show this took place on okay I’m usually pretty at these uh and and I I might have issues I have in the past with the contest I might question if these are very special episodes I have just I’m just warning you this ain’t going to go smooth if I don’t do well all right all right go ahead a main character was attacked at a construction site well there was an episode of a very well the the special of Very Brady Christmas Mr Brady is trapped under Rubble of a poorly built construction site that he was trying to Halt the building not that not that type of an attack but not attacked by bricks oh oh Will Smith uh fresh prince of belir there was a gun episode uh where they were where a gun was pulled on him okay um the episode of uh was it the gun episode of um Family Matters when when there was a gun pulled on the girl and urle flipped out oh geez attacked on a constru what era of Television 1973 oh oh I would lean Brady then no 73 Brady Bunch might have been off the Year this is not my wheelhouse it’s a bit of a trick question because uh this show was known for its special episodes one of them very famous that we talked about yesterday we talked about yesterday their famous the character’s name is glor oh we talked about it we talked about the show yesterday I don’t know I don’t know who it is I that’s not my wheelhouse 73 I wasn’t born yet go ahead All in the Family Gloria the victim I don’t like walking by there the workers are always whistling and making comments I told Michael about it once and he said don’t walk by there anymore well it’s Saturday I thought I’d save myself a few steps and then it happened happened it happened so did I tell you mael Hefner bought a new sofa it happened so fast I didn’t know happening button I didn’t even see the man coming at me he jumped out from behind and he grabbed me and he pulled me behind the Mabel says it would be too dark for the room oh glor throw a few laughs in there she’s trying to describe a sexual assault and you know you get a few Chuckles I was unaware that episode existed the only episode of of that show that I am aware of was are two one where the Jeffersons come overh and two when uh Mrs bunker herself was held at gunpoint and uh I don’t think the assault ever took place but certainly there was the threat of it you’re of course talking about Edith’s 50th birthday party and the reason why the Intruder was allowed to enter the house as everyone was off preparing a party at a different location just stay quiet okay what are you going to do you ain’t taking off your cloths are you yeah then I’m going to take yours off you like a cup of coffee yeah there’s a lot of for a show that was as universally praised and still is is there’s a tone deafness to these episodes that’s a little a little off the mark well if you think that’s better we’re going to get all three out of the way Three Special episodes from All in the Family History including when guess what character maybe accidentally somewhat on purpose joined the KKK who from All in the Family joined the Klux Clan well of course Meathead that’s right it’s a meathead no uh Archie join the KKK you join the KKK Archie gets himself in a lot of big trouble on All in the Family that was the promo when Archie was hanging out at a bar and then inadvertently join the KKK yeah well I mean they had they had some good points I mean they weren’t all bad I mean come on all right gentlemen Could Happen anyone in another sitcom more in your era um a camp counselor put their hands on one of the characters in an inappropriate way it’s just in canteen boy is it no you can’t even find that anymore canteen boy like doesn’t exist on the internet it doesn’t they took it off it’s like really hard to find I have seen it it’s funny but you can see why people are like H what era um I’m going to say it’s a sitcom 1990 and it’s a sitcom yes okay cuz these are not my 73 and 90 we’re getting at the end of my era 73’s I don’t even know know I never watched All in the Family um 1990 is it something like Blossom or something it is not blossom I don’t know I I don’t know the episode I feel very weak right now Mr badier Wesley gets molested by a camp counselor next Hey Wesley don’t go with him an important Mr beler might try to put his hands on him or something what do you mean l that’s what he did to me who’s laughing what the hell was going on at Mr beler Who’s laughing at the first of all how dare you say 1990 with Mr badier that’s the 1986 I mean let’s not go crazy oh but what was going on with Mr badier where they had to do this all the time they had the kid with AIDS they had uh the time where wasley calls ins on Mr badier and then they have an episode where he’s just molested and then they never reference it again that’s the kind of thing that that haunts someone for the rest of their lives there’s much therapy like what do you do the next episode after the kid was like at least on Different Strokes it never got there like with Arnold right right like I got there with Dudley but everyone was saved in time like what do you do after the molestation episode you just go right back to to doing the show as normal you do spit takes at the dinner table that’s what you do yeah exactly like they never address it again it just happened that’s right like isn’t that something that if it happened in a show that would be a theme of The Show for the rest of that character’s time on it like that that you could just go back to square one like oh it was one episode where that happened and there was no Fallout for everything’s fine now it’s been taken care of the camp counselor has been fired like you don’t have to know any you never have to see him again right all right um you could not you could not do any of this now like like it again if you were sexually assulted like at a at a work site like that it would just go away the next day the next episode like you would never address it again no it doesn’t get brought up all right so since I was it seems like there’s some meat on that bone go since I was wrong about that show being from 1990 here’s one that actually aired in 1990 the name of the episode is shape up and it has to do with a certain someone getting ready for a pool party but overd do it trying to get themselves in shape for the pool party well uh that’s a 902 and0 episode that’s uh Kelly Taylor the character begins a crash di overexerts herself exercising oh Jes that’s Kelly tayor oh oh god oh I know it you know this one oh I do I do I do okay oh yeah and they do it comedically oh yeah okay oh Jesus Christ um I got it go ahead I got it SA by the Bell no no no that’s I’m so excited no no she’s not exercising she’s trying to stay up so she can be in the group and get the Stanford joh that’s a completely different thing sorry no no no she was in a singing group that was about to get signed and was trying to get into Stanford there was too many cooks in the kitchen shame on you I mean we’re trying to we’re trying to spit we’re spitballing here and you’re throwing out bombs oh Jesus I know exactly what it is it heads up it’s a female I’m going to give you 10 seconds on this one give me the year the 1990 is it Facts of Life full house DJ needs to lose weight oh yeah you don’t understand I don’t like the way I look I want to look like these models why because they’re beautiful well so are you oh yeah well you only one girl in here with this round face and these Charlie Brown cheeks I’m going to call in the question if that’s a very special episode uh list listed amongst uh okay that that’s borderline but go ahead DJ let’s see Stephany notices the problem after DJ Begins the crash di overexerts herself DJ swears her secrecy but the secret is not when DJ collapses during a family outing to the gym yeah it checks a lot yeah she does it’s on the rowing machine she does a lot of stuff I yeah my daughter and I he catching up quick yeah I I KNE I knew what it was but that’s questionable very special episode because that’s every episode of Full House I mean every episode of House The Arc is nonsense problem solution like that’s the like that Bob Saget talks to one of the girls at the end of almost every episode all right hit me with one more okay got one more I just one more uh it was an anti-smoking um episode of this show uh when did it air this I you say you’ve watched every show Fred 1986 um blank and blank learn a sobering lesson about smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco to elevate their freshman status in junior high the name of the episode is chewed out aired in 1986 all right so it’s two High School freshmen Jamie and Reggie it’s not just the 10 of us because that was post 1986 cuz I was 12 years at least 12 years old when that aired you know how I know cuz I used it so that was at least 88 two guys use chewing tobacco it’s a Sci-Fi premise to the entire sitcom or a technological premise to the entire sitc well it’s not Small Wonder Hey he’s a freshman anti-smoking talk to you guys later only not at school got it got it but what’s your Rush as long as you’re here let’s rap and have a cigarette you guys smoke hey we’ve been smoking for years guys no be cool smokes anymore cigarettes are kid stuff well uh ended up being a very special episode nothing can touch the trifecta of All in the Family Holy Cow yeah that was very sobering I was unaware of those two episodes Gloria attacked 8th being attacked there was a lot of like uh drama like very upsetting drama on all in the yes that is the phrase upsetting drama like oh this isn’t fun to watch like I don’t understand why they needed her to get assaulted at the construction site like why that needed to be that story needed to be told like that’s not something that happens every day like you’re going to do that and Edith getting held up at gunpoint I mean they’re in Queens like I mean what’s going on New York City in the 70s was no Disneyland but let’s be honest the Chan is two people in a family that happens to a gun being held at gunpoint in your own home and being dragged into a construction upset me already well done Small Wonder no yeah you get you got Small Wonder I was unaware he was a a freshman he was a babyfaced freshman if he was love but did that did that the way they were talking did speak that generation uh we’ll be back in just a moment remember the uh thing from the athletic I read you about the off season from the hockey teams minus 18 we have the gentleman who wrote it he’ll explain to us why the Bruins are so low listening uh real quick we were talking about this off the air uh there are three episodes of sitcoms and this just take one second that will uh be in my head forever uh cuz of the time when they aired when I was a young teen there was an episode of uh Mr badier where the older kid not Wesley had had a girl over that wanted to have sex with them and he wouldn’t have sex with her and it drove me insane I was like what are you doing like why won’t you have sex with her I was like 12 13 when it aired and then there was an episode of growing pains where the girl the sister from Different Strokes comes over and wants to have sex with Kirt Cameron and he gets like she takes him to his parents room in no one’s home and he gets on their exercise bike like as a joke like to like like not want to have sex anymore and that drove me insan and then the worst one remember Brandon’s girlfriend that set the float on fire Valentine Emily Valentine well she’s on an episode ahead of ahead of the class where that the Dork Arvin she comes over to his house and wants to have sex with him and he won’t have sex with her and that cuz she was known as being like a [ __ ] and like she came over and he was like really nice to her and he didn’t want to take advantage of her but she’s like desperately trying for him to have sex with her yeah and she he would do it and I just will never forget those three episodes of Television cuz they were baffling to me they were like horror films to me I was like this would never happen like I’m like arvin’s got a hot girl over Arvin yeah she’s like massaging his leg and stuff you’re like oh my God like I’m done like I’m sitting here watching on TV you taped This months ago and I’m finished and arvin’s still sitting they’re not doing it and in the growing pain she’s dressed as Madonna in the uh like a virgin how do you like that now let’s get into hockey where does Dom stand on all of this I don’t know Dom I don’t know how old you are but first pronounce his last name then we’ll then we’ll see yeah he has a uh a lot of last name going on uh Dominic chinen that was that was pretty close it was it was bad but close that’s the best I can do it it was like the right idea yeah yeah my last name is t o TT c h e r so I have no sympathy for you it’s I’ve been called everything but what are you going to do you have to admit there’s a lot of conidence going on in this thing uh how do you pronounce it you told me loose chish it’s uh it’s polish the C’s and Zeds do things that uh regular English don’t comp like this doesn’t make sense it’s like a chis sound or whatever and I know you’re Canadian because you just called ZZ which I enjoy cuz you call the Rush song y y z which is Lee calls it I love it uh he covers the NHL for the athletic you joined us on the Volkswagen dealers expert hotline and you had a an article that I enjoyed and I found interesting um and I was talking about it on the air and we have this fell John on the show that’s not so bright and he couldn’t just get on board with the whole thing uh he couldn’t get on board with the minus 18 which Fred and I immediately understood I didn’t feel the need I didn’t feel the need to know the what the the calculus that went into it but the article by Dom is which NHL teams have improved the most this off season he rates all 32 teams I love when articles like this are written he and as a hint he has the Chicago Blackhawks as the number one team and Dom I’d admit I admit i’ I’d say that probably the Blackhawks being on paper a bad team going into the off season was an advantage for them during that absolutely yeah so yeah go ahead it’s it’s a lot easier for bad teams to get better it’s a lot easier for great teams to get worse that’s just the way the salary cap works so when you see the minus 18 for the Bruins just look at their goal differential last year they were Plus 43 take 18 away and they’re probably going to be like a plus 20 team that’s the estimate at this point but this is hockey and the range could be anywhere from zero to plus 40 again and we saw that years ago the Bruins I’m not going to I’m not a homer guy that’s going to call in didn’t call in the yelli I I’m am interested in this because I I thought it was interesting you said the ruins made some bets key bets and redistributing money in town on the roster I’m just not convinced to gave them a stronger one that all stems from the team giving up its regular season superpower the best goalie tandem in the league it makes sense to move on from Lena alark when the Bruins had someone as good as Jeremy Swan but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a down overall downgrade between the pipes especially with the they got from Ottawa I can’t pronounce his name coming the other way uh so is that a regular season projection uh that that all that they’re going to be a worst regular season team or is does that count the playoffs it’s it’s a little difficult because I think they’ll be a worse regular season team where they might have to face someone more difficult in the playoffs like they might be fighting a wild card instead of maybe being the second or third Seas or the or they were fighting for the first seed last year and in the playoffs they’ll be better because they’ll have the one guy they won’t be doing the the back and forth starts but they might have a harder time getting to a great spot in the standings to get there because having those two guys alternate and knowing you’re always getting Elite goal tending was I think one of Boston’s biggest advantages the last two years having SW andark they were able to rest and it was sort of like in b I’m not a baseball guy but you have a lot of pitchers rotating and you get the best of them when they’re well rested I think Boston showed that the last two years and I think San can be a starter and eat up a lot of starts and do well it’s just they might be the worst regular season team because of it I I agree with you in in the superpower for the regular season aspect of of the go tending tan of Dom but it falls apart in the playoffs as does the baseball metaphor because the pitchers keep rotating in the postseason shorten up the rotation you only play one goenda and that was you know kind of my hope for the last off season that they would move on from one of these guys and Shore themselves up you know do something to replace berson or kie and I didn’t think they did enough last season they ended up you know going further into the playoffs and I you know I I wonder as as they’re constructing things now if this is going to serve them you know well at least in terms of paying more attention to the team down the middle and trying to trying to fix things there and saying all right well the goal tending tanem was nice but it doesn’t do anything for us in the postseason when people really really want you to perform like absolutely I think the reason a lot of people over the last two years thought the Bruins weren’t going to be as good as they were in h year is because the roster construction was really strange and they have these two Elite goalies you can only put one in that at the time after berson CI left their Center depth looked like some of the worst in the league and you look at them on paper and you see a very Winger heavy team with two franchise goalies and you think I don’t think this team is like good enough to win the division or really compete in the playoffs and so they they lost a lot of talent this summer but they I do think what they did made a lot of sense in terms of putting more pieces in the right places I’m not a huge El linol fan just cuz the last two years ever since he moved away from kachu and gdo he hasn’t been able to really carry a line on his own he’ll probably fit really well Pastak or Marshon but I’m just not I’m worried about how much they spent on him when he gets there he’ll be their best center and he can push coil down to a more appropriate role everyone fits better with Lind Holm around and the roster makes a lot more sense it’s just going to be probably a little worse just because of the talent they lost otherwise to make it happen yeah you say that they lost gave up a lot of Talent on the wings who are you referring to besid like they the brusk is pretty good but then it’s Heinen van Reams dke maroon that does that doesn’t seem you you would quantify that as a lot of talent it’s not necessarily a lot of talent it’s that who is stepping in for those guys aren’t as good and so that will like even if all those three guys braid out as average if the three guys stepping in are below average or technically losing Talent even if it doesn’t look that impressive I personally like de brusc I think he’s going to fit in well with the Canucks hinen has been underrated for the last years I think he uh the Bruns got really fortunate that he was available so late uh last summer and he should do the conu as well and you look at the Winger death now it’s I don’t think it’s anywhere near as strong as it it was last season and that’s for the best because lindol makes their top six look a lot stronger and that’s going to be more important in the playoffs when they’re facing barov and Bennett in Florida or Matthews and tver in Toronto or point and Celli in Tampa like the Atlantic is built down the middle and Boston was well behind the other three guys in uh in this division okay so ultimately do you in your opinion are the are the Bruins better set for success in the playoffs this coming season than they were this season I think so I think like just in terms of fit that is something that all this math I’m doing is going to struggle with to an extent and Lind hman zadorov the priorities were how they fit with the roster and I think they’ll do a lot better than I project them to the have a fantastic culture we’ve seen over the last decade plus that no matter what they’re a great team they make things work they tend to Target the right players and they just always have a good team so I wouldn’t doubt that all these decisions made are going to lead to value that can’t be seen by this mathematical model right now it’s just on paper it seems a little worse but it makes sense why they did it and I can see I I can definitely see a path where it makes them as good as last year or maybe even better all right well that’s what I wanted cleared up thank you for doing that Dominic how do we pronounce your last name again with the Zed lose chishan there you go L yes read him on the athletic sir uh thank you your article is of great interest to us thank you for joining us yeah anytime thanks for having me all right there you go so that’s settles it they are better all right playoffs playoffs are better playoffs are better but might have to play a better team yes but that’s how hockey goes I’d much rather play a better team in the first round with a better having being more set suited for the playoffs right long as swayman stays healthy we’re good yeah I I I look at I don’t think they’re winning the cup I think they could win two rounds if they went if they went six against Florida this year I think they could win two rounds if Lind Holm is as advertised and is the 60 or 70 point guy that Flo shinzawa seems to think he will be they’re going to pain they’re going to be a pain in the ass to play in a seven game series can’t believe Florida won the cup yeah I know I yeah until Edmonton got hot at the end the Bruins had played him as tough as anyone all right we’ll be back in just a moment Sports up headlines in chain that hangs beneath his breast bone in the middle of his breast bone with a a big steel crucifix on it yeah now he’s a handsome devil and people are are are liking the way he looks but someone said Fred you crack me up every day well I thought the kid was Mr T Jr it looks fine you made that chain sound way bigger on the air you made it sound like he was the SoundCloud rapper Tyler Milan’s cousin’s chain is ridiculous the idea that there’s not a a ground swell of people and this hasn’t gotten five million uh agreeing head nods I mean how many followers does the toucher and Hardy account have at toucher and Hardy it’s even up at Fred toucher it’s 26,000 there should be 30,000 people going Fred on the nose you did the right thing tell him to take off that chain it he’s got a Hawaiian shirt on unbutton three buttons unbuttoned and it’s hanging right by where the shirt opens that’s a three button length chain and it’s not made of gold I didn’t call Mr T he’s like a a Carney version of Mr T this is an neish you would win at a fair which by the way I know someone who on Facebook took their nephew to a thing in Cincinnati called The Ark which is an amusement park revolving around a depiction of Noah’s ar oh hey including a zoo it’s a they got to have animals there they do it’s a zoo and a giant and it’s like uh Bible Recreation recreate uh the story of Noah uh historically accurate it says is is there a uh depiction of Mount erat like kind a some kind of a like garbage pile SED over and said here here’s M Brighton the the ski slope where I uh where it used to go H yeah which was actually a garbage dump uh I don’t know but it was an arc okay so but I but I’m telling you I’ve never been more disappointed at the internet as much as you came through on Tony P who’s slowly dying on it online but the fact that it’s slowly happening is the most fun of all a lot of momentum it’s not quick you get to see that really slow methodical 20p is not going to be a thing in like six months but uh the one I mean I I can’t I I don’t I can’t believe that there’s really people going like that’s appropriate that he should be wearing that I thought I was doing him a favor Tyler Milan’s cousin I take it all back apparently that’s perfectly fine to wear look he has something for you he’s going to bring it in here he’s going to bring it in here right now we we threw that away during the first hour let him he’s cousin please come tissue paper in the bag it’s well presented give him a chance all right Tyler Milan’s cousin all right get get look at that all right you hand me the bag and get a microphone Tyler Milan’s cousin he’s wearing a carart t-shirt today with a necklace on the outside of the T-shirt can you get him on YouTube in defiance to what put YouTube camera on him I don’t want it on anyone else so you can go to youtube.com search uh 985 the sports up I mean that’s that’s a good six seven8 Ines below the I mean the idea that this is not a universal agreement with me is really disappointing I thought I was doing the right thing I honestly thought I was doing the right thing but good for you for not tucking it in this morning and leave it out blazing he goes to Emerson the kid’s got instincts he knows to leave it out he knows what the people want all these people who are chiming in on Instagram look at the YouTube channel right now and it I I think the open collared shirt took away from the see I think it adds to it the it no I looking at it on the screen right now Fred it just looks no it’s ridiculous but the thing is is that it looks ridiculous in that shirt it it it’s almost like to scale right like when people put something next to a penny yeah like it or put it next to a pen like so you can actually get scale it’s three B Tyler mil’s cousin is a thin kid not a short man and it’s three buttons on his shirt and it hangs down it’s like in between his nipples don’t show those like your cousin don’t debase yourself Tyler Milan’s cousin all right so what have you brought Fred what what what is this all right it’s in a Target bag is his microphone on oh no I’m sorry that’s my fault all right go Ty m i was you know Fred the other day I heard you talking about how it hangs between the two peaks and you know I figured I’d get you something since you admired mine so much oh boy I figured I’d get you little something more to scale for you so go you should go in that way and uh all right Toler Milan’s cousin has broken every rule of HR and he’s giving me religious symbol which I could really complain about Tyler Milan’s cousin it’s tied so it fit be it is it is a uh almost like a dog chain with a big uh uh anti-religion uh Tony iomi style look at that uh big crucifix that you’ve made from uh aluminum foil it’s like an aluminum paper like aluminum um like U plastic yeah well Tyler Milan’s cousin you’ve made a mockery of your religion you’re welcome put this right back in the back that was the big reveal I told you to mil a seven-year-old put together some costume jewelry yep CU I got something for the show’s cousin you you don’t turn your back on your religion like John did don’t don’t go that don’t use cheap gags you keep that you keep that you keep that uh that thing on yourself little too late at this point though no all right thank you Tyler milkin cousin I’ll have you know the YouTube numbers have spiked about 30% since he sat down oh that’s impressive yeah Tyler milins cousin you’re eye candy I’d hate to tell you maybe television for tell Milan’s cousin why why keep that puss off the uh off the you know why use it an audio medium when that could be visual just take those old highlights off the sh I’ll sit and watch by myself today’s QB ain’t got the same soul I like that old time TV2 Tyler Milan’s cousin all right Tyler Milan’s cousin thank you of course how much did you spend on that was that just like laying around the house I’d like you to guess give it a little guess uh I don’t know I don’t think you bought anything zero around $6 all right well good for you this you’re’ invested in the show you’re invested in your future of course all right thank you Tyler milins cousin I remember all my life raining down red blue and white shadows of a man a face mask through the pocket throwing in the night the night goes into morning just another parade thank you we will be back with John caral he can tell us why jayen and brown did not make the US Olympic team oh Brady you’re listening to toucher and Hardy on the sportsub to wake you up no matter where you are or who may or may not have been to jail get the app the 985 the sportsub app go hey we’re touch and Hardy brought to you by uh FanDuel sports book make every moment more with FanDuel you can watch us on YouTube search N9 CL the sports of on YouTube follow us at toucher and Hardy or Fred toucher to find Tyler milikin chain which is even on YouTube I was told by Hardy they were saying it’s not that big a deal which is just wrong maybe they were overwhelmed with the comedy of the gimmick chain that he made maybe they were bent over laughing and there’s too many tears in their eyes it’s a very large chain you got there Fred yeah very big you made a big crucifix yeah seemed kind of anti-religion you want a big chain I got a big chain for you I felt guilty putting it in the trash I felt like I was maybe sitting I honestly did have mixed feelings about putting it in the trash oh you should have put it up front with all these knickknacks in front of the I don’t think that’s overly appropriate not probably not yeah prob you’re right like I think if I gave you imagine if I gave you like a big fake Jewish star like I don’t know how that would fly well I told you mé Star of David would you just throw it in the trash well John probably would John’s throwing the whole religion in the trash uh John caralis is the Celtics beat writer for the Boston Sports journal.com and you say why are we having him on the V wagen dealers expert hotline well because three Boston Celtics are on USA’s Olympic basketball team and uh one of them is not Jaylen Brown there is talk that is including from Jaylen Brown on Twitter that it’s the fault of Nike I’ve heard that from Stephen A Smith I’ve heard that from other people nationally uh Derek white is on the team JW holiday is on the team Jason Tatum’s on the team John caral hello sir hey how are you I am not on the team no you are not but uh Jaylen Brown is not why um I I honestly I think Derek white is is probably the better fit why why for why for kawh Leonard is he the better fit okay so so there’s two things here if you’re doing a a a switch of like Kawai is out well yeah then Jaylen is the closest faximile to Kawai that you’re going to find I don’t think Kawai should have been there in the first place so I think I think Kawai was there as like a courtesy of some sort uh the talk the talk for a while since kawai’s inclusion has been if Kawai can’t play Derek white is in line to replace him I was aware of that I know that that was the talk but but when that happens you have to admit that I understood why they put jaru holiday on and I’ve used the example of Shane bad or Draymond Green like you know you get like a defensive Big Time guy I understand like one right like uh but then you have three Celtics and not Jaylen Brown like a they have to know what they’re doing and B it just doesn’t make sense if I’m constructing a team to take three players from the team but not the second best one no I I know but I don’t think that’s the discussion that should be had here it’s not that you take the top three players from the team that’s how that’s how Team USA got in trouble in the first place because you feel like oh well if you’re going to take a third player from the Celtics it’s got to be Jaylen Brown when Derek white is kind of like the connective tissue type of guy that that team needs they have a ton of sto scorers like and it’s not a disrespect to Jaylen Brown he’s the better player he’s the finals MVP Conference Finals MVP no doubt but like they’ve got Anthony Edwards Steph Curry Jo Tatum LeBron you know they got a bunch of scorers already and even though jayen had his best facilitating season Derek white makes sense with these guys because you can kind of put him in there as a guy that can be an overflow shooter a lot like the role that he played in Boston if you leave him if you double off of him then he can make you pay he can find the right you know the right guys he’s got incredible processing power to kind of figure out the flow of the game and who needs the ball and when so I from I I understand what Grant Williams was saying uh I me not Grant Williams Grant Hill sorry Freddy and slip Grant Hill was saying last night in the broadcast where you know you’re he’s you’re building a team and you’re you’re trying to put the best team forward and a Derek white considering the makeup of this team you need a guy to get all these other guys the ball you don’t need another highlevel scorer like like Jaylen Brown all right how much was is Derek White gonna play well he’ll play some I mean he’ll play he might start some of these games so you think that Derek White’s going to start games interesting he started last night who what was starting five last night the starting last night it was Curry it was Curry Booker holiday LeBron and embiid and embiid was garbage yeah did not play well no so uh he could he could easily slot in for for holiday in some respects or he could come off the bench and and anchor uh not anchor but like be be the like the facilitator next to Anthony Edwards like they they could decide that Curry and uh holiday are the two guys like the scorer and the defender next to him and then Edwards and white could be the pairing where you have a scorer and a Defender kind of facilitator next to him so uh it could go either way but I could see Derek white starting for sure and and that you know I I think that could get him up to what are you g to end up playing with these guys 20 minutes a game so it’s it’s not going to be a ton of time it’s gonna it’s gon to be kind of like competitive summer workouts for these guys but starting Olympic games like games in the Olympics you think that Steve cerr would do that you don’t think that with the veterans on this team that that might be an issue Durant is healthy there’s no way that H in my opinion John Maybe not maybe not but like you could you could start like the the guy was a starter on a championship team I don’t think anybody’s going to sit there and be like why is he starting if you if you say I I I absolutely do you have guys like Tyrese halberton sitting there no I I’m sorry I I disagree with you yeah and and and if I’m like Jaylen Brunson and I’m looking at it I’m like what the hell’s going on like they’re starting Derek white like if they start Dereck white and lose but we’re we’re getting caught up we’re getting CAU like Jaylen Brunson is not the right pick for the I understand that but but Jaylen Brunson do you think Jaylen brunson’s upset not on the team probably I’m sure a lot of guys are upset that because they have egos and they’re all really good well that’s the point I’m making though about starting is that like but there’s only 12 spots like there’s that’s why it’s so bizarre that Derek white is one of them like Derek white is not one of the 12 best players from the United States he’d tell you that this is this is exactly what Team USA has made the mistake in the past by saying uh we’re not going to take a Derek white type even though he’s exactly the connective tissue that you need on a team full of superstars you take a team with 12 slots and you got nine guys that are Mega Stars you need three role players on there to kind of be like I’m not going to shoot I’m going to do these other things that we need and pass and I’ll shoot when I’m wide open but I’m going to do the other things this is why Team USA has had their struggles here and there is because too many to use the current terminology too many alphas and not enough guys that can sit there and be like I am going to sit back and and look at the game and be like okay LeBron’s got it uh Anthony Edwards does not uh I’m going to run this because this is the defensive matchup that I need to pick apart no one’s processing the game like that and even last night in that in that exhibition you still saw guys who are like oh geez I can’t find a guy to to pass to well time to go ISO and they they had their problems that’s why they’re turning the ball over a bunch so yeah I I get the concept of it’s Team USA and you take the top 12 players in the league and when one of them can’t play you just go next and who’s 13 and who’s 14 but Team USA has gotten into into trouble in the past doing that and I think this is actual team building at play yeah but okay but you’re not but again you’re replacing a tall you’re replacing a tall forward with the a shorter guard and you’re you’re not replacing a skill set but you say kawh Leonard should be on the team anyway what about the talk of it being Nike and Nike has something to do with putting this team together they Nike swooshes on their jerseys what do you make of that that there certainly could be some level of that especially because Jaylen wore Nikes throughout the season but took the swooshes off the shoes and had them kind kind of like redone so there were no swooshes on the shoes he was wearing Kobe Bryant sneakers for I think most if not all of the season but you know I’m sure Nike is not happy that Jaylen was taking their their logo their branding off of his feet and that’s that that’s a personal decision Jaylen did it for his own reasons he’s perfectly within his rights to do that but I’m I’m sure that if Nike had any kind of say they might have been like ah we we’re not big fans of Jaylen Brown and he’s been critical of them as a company uh for their business practices so so yeah uh I’m not going to sit here and be naive and be like Nike had nothing to do with it I’m sure Nike uh had like if they had their any sort of say that Jaylen wasn’t going to be on their list of players okay do you like the way the team is constituted right now you talked a lot about the makeup and you don’t want too many shooters you want some guys out there to play defense and facilitate so are you are you good with the way it’s constructed right now mostly I don’t like embid on this team I think he slows things down I don’t think he can handle the speed um I don’t this is his first taste of f basketball and and you know he’s hurt so I I I would probably have you know somebody else on the team uh e even I’m gonna say Draymond Green but like a type that that can kind of facilitate maybe not exactly Draymond but somebody else uh but mostly mostly I think yeah just just get why not just throw the Celtics out there they just want a championship you want you want to say world champions let’s go prove it um what if Kevin Durant doesn’t end up playing who would you replace him with oh geez I have given that no thought I mean come on they G are they gonna give that are they gonna give that to to jayen and put four Celtics on there that’s when I step in if I’m an owner of an NBA franchise I’m like you cannot put four Celtics on this team no you can’t I NBA’s got to get involved because I I I truly believe that Jaylen Brown’s not on this team because of Nike and I and I think that Nike said I don’t I that he’s on a on a no playlist and you can’t put him on and I think you’re right and I think I’m right I think the reason they picked Derek white was for the reasons that you laid out but I think the reasons they didn’t pick Jaylen Brown at any point during this process was because of his problems with Nike I think if Durant can’t play maybe it’s not Brunson maybe it’s Tyrese Maxi or something like that well you put Tyre Tyrese Maxi on and then not then it wouldn’t even be controversy yeah that’s a guy who plays fast and more to what John was saying I saw a little bit of this game last night and you were saying about how ISO ball ruins this team that’s all MB did last night well what’s he going try try to set in isolation and failed miserably yeah well he’s what’s he going to do I mean he’s old and can’t run I mean what’s he going to do all right that’s another guy that they they I don’t know why they even push to have let him he could have played for France let him go ruin Team France yeah he’s not from the United States I don’t understand what’s going on from Cameroon but I don’t know this he just became a citizen last year congratulations yeah you’re us eligible yeah I guess yeah I mean but then you got guys playing for the Israeli baseball team that like just because they went there one time I don’t know all right John caralis even though the baseball’s not in the Olympics but you know what is break dancing sweet just in time for it to be a phenomenon only 30 5 years late yeah something that was popular when I was 10 and now I’m 49 and it’s in the Olympics uh John caralis said thank you uh thank you for uh coming on it was interesting to hear that point of view uh read him in the Boston Sports journal.com thank you so much for the time you got it thanks guys appreciate it Jaylen Brown’s not on here because of Nike yeah I I agreed with you with six I agree with you now it was obvious and that tweet I read earlier had a lot to do with it yeah he really pissed them off and it’s it’s a little it’s a bit of a shame that we live in such a cynical world that the Olympics that was you know set up to be a competition for amateur athletes and kind of the charm of it be pure and it’s not and now and then and then it was the dream team which was cool once and then now it’s not cool anymore like and now now I want the USA to lose in basketball like I do I want them to lose it’s far more interesting if they lose see that’s the thing it this kind of issue issue is hanging over this team the roster they have constructed talent-wise is probably the best since the dream team this year in terms of Legacy because of the because it’s the first time they’ve had Curry yeah they you have if everything works the right way you could have nine or 10 Hall of Famers on this team but when all said done NBA Hall of Famers they’re all Hall of Famers except there’s a chance holiday makes the Hall of Fame there’s a chance white makes the Hall of Fame the NBA Hall of Fame I bet you John there’s a chance all these guys make the Hall of Fame there’s no question about it the Basketball Hall of Fame lets anybody but I understand what you’re saying I hesitated with bam and holiday those are the two that I was terms oh you don’t think B bam out of Bio is going to go to the Hall of Fame you’re out of your mind he’s he’s GNA get in the Hall of Fame right when he retires oh I guarantee you John okay JW holiday has been on two NBA championship games he’s in the Hall of Fame dude that Hall of Fame lets in the classes are huge they they let everyone in it’s ridiculous the Basketball Hall of Fame sucks oh yeah they’re all getting in Dereck white could get in the Hall of Fame absolutely he could 100% And I’m not being sarcastic okay yeah he’s the only one that I think is a borderline guy is Derek white they’re all getting in Hal bur’s getting in embiid’s getting in Edwards is getting in Durant’s getting in Davis is getting in Curry’s getting in Booker’s getting in adab bio’s getting in they’re all getting holidays getting in those are no doubters Tatum’s getting in that’s no doubt Derek white I don’t know but Derek white I’d lean yes especially making the USA basketball team if they win another champ the overall point is this roster the talent on it is really something else it’s outstanding it’s outstanding is the the best team since ’92 it would be great if they lost that would be fun and I hope they lose to like some small country like South Sudan you want that you want the upset there like you wouldn’t that would be awesome it would be and I’m still on board with I I I wouldn’t I wouldn’t keep Jaylen Brown off this squad because of him being the fourth Celtic on the squad I wouldn’t if I was USA basketball but I would if I was the NBA because I if I own another team Fu they’ve already shown that politics factors into this I would bet Maxi would get ated before Brown now and it’s good for the good of the NBA too you can’t enfor Celtics on that team how much does how much does that really benefit the Celtics though by having another one of their players on the Olympic team not so much does it benefit the Celtics by having the other guy on the team as much as it hinders another team because another team might go well put one of my guys on the Olympic team so I get that press like I can’t sell out my building give me a summer showcasing one of my guys like I want to be able to advertise that we got a guy on my team that’s on the USA basketball team think about it if you guys were owners too you wouldn’t like it you you would raise a fuss if if you you absolutely would you wouldn’t be smart if you didn’t if you were if I was another team’s on say all right you’ve made your point you got three members of the world championship team there and all things being equal it’s not going to hurt the team by not adding a fourth guyy add my guy I I can see your point you guys aren’t going to lose the gold medal based on who this guy is and and if Team USA were to come back and say come on we already messed this up by not you know picking them twice he’s the Conference Finals and the finals MVP I would say that’s your fault for not picking them the two times done this a while ago you should have done it two times ago or you should have done it instead of Derek white I would be like you can’t you can’t have four guys from the same team cuz it’s unfair for the marketing purposes ultimately this is what it’s all about caralis has dug in though he’s like no Dereck White’s the better choice I get why he’s saying that but I also don’t think that’s why Derek White’s on the team I think that’s why they put Derek white on the team instead of Jaylen brown but I don’t think that J dere Jaylen Brown’s not on this team for that reason right because they could have put Brunson or Irving or or Maxi on the team they put Derek white on the team because they think he fits but not over Jaylen Brown Jaylen Brown pissed off Nike there’s no other question about it it’s dude it’s the same team it’s the guy from the same team I mean it’s a slap in the face to Jaylen Brown it is it is he takes it that way I’m not speaking for him he takes it that way you would too all I can do is put my in the shoes of these people and if I was Jaylen Brown I would think this what the hell are you doing this sucks and I’d be pissed at Derek white too I couldn’t be mad at him like individually but I’d be pissed kind of like around him like what are you doing like like this sucks like how was how was your summer yeah how was your summer jerk off while I’m sitting here all right we’ll be right back stay tuned for more T and Hardy on the hey we are toucher and Hardy you can email us J at 985 the sports hub.com Hardy at 985 the sports hub.com and uh all these things uh Dave who emails us a lot says uh about the T Tyler milic cousin uh he wears a ridiculous chain that people are are really enabling him about it goes it lays Bene between his nipples I mean it is a very large train and it’s made of anything but a precious metal it’s not good but then he gave me this like costume one it and but then I put it in the trash and and I even felt bad putting in the trash because it is in theory a religious emblem even though he just made it it was very bizarre but Dave says he’s Catholic he says it’s a myth that a Rel it’s a myth has it that if a religious item is not blessed by a priest it means nothing can be trashed however my dad had a crucifix over his bed and it’s over my door because I figur i’ keep my option open uh don’t burn Bridge and that’s the thing is that like that’s why like if I’m in New Orleans and stuff I don’t I won’t go in any of those like Voodoo shops cuz I don’t I don’t I don’t want to mess with that Mojo just in case I don’t want to get into the those Arts you know what I’m saying so you stay away from them yeah I wouldn’t go in if you guys went go in I would go no I I wouldn’t do it you really wouldn’t go into a Voodoo shop uhuh like even a kitsy One in New Orleans or something it’s still weird like I mean you’re still working at a Voodoo shop like I mean you know what I’m saying like if you spend 8 hours a day in a Voodoo shop I don’t think that you just kid off the street so you think those mystical powers like invade your body through osmosis just by stepping inside no but I don’t know but there has to be some kind of benevolent force or some kind of order to the universe there has to be something beyond our understanding and I don’t want to start messing around with people and things that are uh that are that are of the dark arts but and and the thing is is that I wouldn’t enjoy it so like do I think that if I walked into a store that I would be cursed yeah no of course not but uh I’m not you you couldn’t say with all certainty I wouldn’t be I mean you really couldn’t you’re just you you’re every bit of logic in you tells me that I wouldn’t but you don’t know I wouldn’t and also I don’t want to talk to the people that work there and I don’t want and I wouldn’t enjoy it nice to them I’m sure they’ll be nice to you so like it’s not like something like really fun that I’m like no I’m staying away from like you’re not offering me like a a carrot at the end of the stick like there’s nothing for me to chase like do you want to go in this dumb shop no why well I don’t want to go in anyway and why mess with it if I don’t have to now because I’m only human if you said oh in this shop there’s all this really cool stuff that you’re super into but the you know there’s some Voodoo stuff in there as well now you’re now this is a conversation but do you want to go into some Voodoo shop no like if I was in Jamaica would and they were like or wherever I don’t know wherever you would have a Voodoo shop and that’s more far I know yeah wait I guess Haiti if I was ever in Haiti I suppose I’d be doing something very philanthropic so maybe I’d be okay I’d be hanging out with Mitch album uh Joe who emails us a lot says uh the tragedy of these 80 sitcoms that we talked about even though Hardy went 73 on us and shared very disturbing stuff from All in the Family it was Tracy gold who played Carol sver she was a special episode in herself and she almost died trying to get thin that is true and I remember seeing her and thinking she was very attractive and when she got really thin she was scary to look at yeah Tracy gold played the sister on um growing paints and the sister was supposed to be like this like unattractive dork but she was good-looking and it tortured her inside also Freddy I used just the 10 of us as well as the oldest sister and the sister who was the girl from the original Nightmare on Elm Street uh the sister who was on Nightmare on Elm Street was not attractive on just to 10 of us the redhead stole the show and the blonde that you’re referring to was in second place he goes were you by any chance of fans fans of the Goldbergs which is show said in the 80s my children and I when they were young watched every episode of the gold BRS until they got too old for it I got an email yesterday afternoon I almost printed out because I wanted to make sure I I I had it today but I found it it’s from Joe apparently we were talking about sitting on your testicles sitting on your own testicles yesterday and how that’s something that happens to people uh Joe says sitting sitting on your balls sucks but twisting them is worse due to sudden lateral movement I also ruptured my testicles skateboarding as a kid when I human popsicle myself this is my favorite part pee is not stored in the balls it’s more like a clear vacuous fluid I think he means viscous like what zomor bleeds in Alien so thank you Joe that’s where I thought urine came from I thought urine was stored into testicles and and when you expelled it out of your body that’s where it came from thank you Joe for setting us all straight on that notion yeah speaking of religion Hardy was at a very religious school where nothing was explained I like that Joe went out of his way so you know guys if you ever rupt your balls you think P’s gonna come out it’s not it’s not where it comes from no that is that is a mystery that is unfolded that’s like when people say like uh why you said penis on the air and you’re like yeah like they exist there’s no there’s no denying it they do I mean we may all want to deny it but it’s true go ahead Jonathan uh this is from uh Thomas who said I would wear Tyler milikin cousins cousins cousins chain over Freddy T sweatsuits we’ve been in agreement a lot as late but this is where I differ yeah okay but that’s an either or I’m not saying my sweatsuits are cool I I’m saying that Tyler Milan chain is unacceptable they’re two different things you can feel the way the same way about both I thought I was doing Tyler milin as did you guys Tyler Milan’s cousin a favor by saying don’t wear that chain it’s it’s it’s not F first of all it’s not even worth anything like it’s not jewelry is supposed to to be a display of like things of value correct isn’t it inherently and or like some kind of Sac or so or something that’s just really pretty these I love your earrings you know they’re so pretty oh you know what and they’re cheap I got him a taret you know that’s but either has to look really nice or yes be a display of wealth I think that men’s jewelry inherently is a display of wealth because it’s watches or like really audacious rings and I think that those are I mean every watch is a display of wealth if you if you pay over a certain amount of money it’s a display of wealth I mean I have a Rolex I bought it for the symbol of the Rolex I mean that’s specifically why I bought it when I bought it to milen Shain does none of that or it would be like sacred beads or Sac a sacred thing I suppose maybe his communion necklace he feels that way but why would his family give him something so large and not something a little more uh a little more palatable to the human eye yeah it’s almost like his family was giving him a curse while they they gave him communion you were going to be forever have this Al confirmation you’ll have this you’ll have this Albatross literally around your neck for the rest of your life Dave says I love and respect Johnny wall game with a fire of a thousand Sons but what the hell man your job is to pay attention to sports and you just said Kyrie is a much better player than Jaylen Brunson what the hell that was such a Dickerson take look at some numbers a Dickerson Brunson his entire world’s better than Kyrie in every single aspect of the game which is why he almost made first team all NBA Kyrie is a damn mirage at this point stop buying the hype other than that the show is phenomenal as usual okay yeah I thought Brunson I would have taken Brunson over Irving too but at least it’s a debate which was the only point I was getting to the thing about Kyrie though is if he decides to turn turn it on like he he used to that’s why I said person take the personality for the prime time for the cameras now he couldn’t do it in the finals which may signal you know the true end but remember you know Isaiah Thomas would show up you know really big time moments and like we when it national game TNT game he would have those games I think Kyrie has enough of that or I would consider that he’s gotten enough of that left in him on an international stage and also frankly he could found International Players like Euro guys who are not necessarily used to playing against him he he still has the ability to score in ways or at least he did right up until the NBA finals which would I confound some opponents said all that I’d go with Brunson Brunson just did it though Brunson just did it in the playoffs Brunson was the by far the best player on the Knicks in the playoffs Kyrie did it in the playoffs too right up until he didn’t not like Brunson though Brunson was having 50 points games and stuff like Brunson was being historic he was carrying that team and you knew where the ball was going and he was still scoring and I the Celtics at the end of the season they played the Knicks and Celtics are an incredibly good defensive team and Brunson was borderline unguardable yeah at times during that game I you all I’m saying is over the history of his career Kyrie has put together a bigger sample than Brunson there’s no question about Brunson has been better as of late but Kyrie has the experience but you can’t take personality out of it and Hardy made a very good point him not showing up during the finals when he needed to and especially not showing up when he played here in Boston when he needed to specifically May mean that he’s jumped well when we were arguing about well not when we were debating it I I made that point too is that yeah he he failed in the finals like he was terrible Fred must be smoking some special kind of crack if he thinks bam adabo is going into the basketball of oh well I would make a big big big wager on that the only way this happens if he makes a wrong term on the Pike needs to use the bathroom in Springfield all right good L who made the NBA Alexander yeah uh Hall of Fame uh 2022 let’s just go to 2022 the NBA uh Hall of Fame who made it in 2022 all right uh let’s go into it uh the class of 22 to and shime uh well just go to last year just go to this past year Dell Harris monu job Tim Hardaway uh go ahead who won who made it last this year you had chony bips and Vince Carter okay you could see that but the rest of them I mean chony bips b b is every good as b as good as chony bips was go ahead if not better Michael Cooper all right come on Walter Davis Bo Ryan who’s a head coach at Wisconsin I mean Charles Smith I mean you you I’m making your point for you yes you are well everybody gets in it’s that’s the thing about Cooper is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame those of us who remember him playing Celtics in the 80s he was a defensive guard I would argue he’s not as good as Derek I would make the same argument but he on a championship team he was the defensive stoer at guard and that’s why I said Derek white could make the Hall of Fame B bam atab bio is for sure making the NBA Hall the B not the NBA Hall of Fame the Basketball Hall of Fame Basketball Hall of Fame everyone makes the that Basketball Hall of Fame everyone does can you tell the story of basketball without bam adabo that’s not the point here the point it’s not the point all not in the Basketball Hall of Fame the point of all everybody gets in from all over the world the best high school player in Argentina same Hall of Fame as Michael Jordan that’s correct they all go in the same place yeah great High School Hurley’s dad Danny Hurley’s dad in the Basketball Hall of Fame for being a great High School coach in New Jersey Chris Bosch is in the Hall of Fame I’m just putting random years in I mean every year there’s someone who B adabo is better than that’s crazy yeah 2021 was a good 2020 was a good year yeah there are there are occasional good years but more often than not you get Michael Cooper Sydney Moncrief great defens Bobby Jones Jack Sigma yeah I remember Jack Sigma yeah I do too he wasn’t as good as B out of Bio I have to give it to you I do yeah I mean I have to I don’t want to but I have to is for sure going to make the Hall of Fame there is no doubt about it getting back to my overall point which was this roster of this USA team is on not on a par with but right the next level down from the dream team did you say Chris BOS is in the hall yes he and he is alongside Bill Russell yes well Bill Russell’s in it 100 times Bill Russell’s in it is a Coach Jerry West has in it a 100 times well yeah I mean he’s one of the great GMS he did the Kobe trade all right uh we’ll be back it’s very exciting uh with the stack here are the headlines Sports up headlines Oak beat the Red Sox at Fenway Park last night 5-2 they scored three runs on the top of the third inning and never looked back this three- game series between the socks and the Athletics ends it’s time for the stack untouch your and Harvey I I guess I should thank the audience for making the show number one again in the ratings not that you care but I suppose if you if you listen religiously I should let you know that we do appreciate it the show has changed a lot over the course of the last year and you have stuck with us in uh record numbers and we appreciate that very much and I’m not I’m not saying that it’s a self- congratul thing I’m actually thanking the audience I hope that you take it that way and how do we how do how do you get to number one more importantly how do you stay number one well tell you wck it’s not by ignoring the mass golf quarterfinals in your headlines all morning which is what you’ve been doing Matthew numi currently leads John broadrick he’s three up through 10 Matt parziale who we all

great horse So when you say these people’s names on the air they get a kick out of it very much who who doesn’t who I Fred you like hearing your name on the radio when it’s mentioned on other shows don’t tell me you don’t okay sure don’t you it’s no not really oh no I don’t like it for the most part it’s usually not very positive it’s not in a good context no it’s probably it’s if any other show mentions me it’s generally not for my elaborate talent in fact uh if you go through the Press of my whole whole career if you went and read the Press of my whole career you would think that I was a miserable failure there’s never been a point in my career where people were you’re doing a really good job never never ever things are going well for you I’ve had a Morning Show in radio obsessively a Morning Show I’ve been a talk show host in radio since I was 26 25 years old in a Major Market and there’s never been a point ever where the consensus that I hear is good job it’s always been you suck or some assimilation no matter how much I’m number one by no matter what’s going on it’s some kind of Quasi thing no matter what people I used to work with how miserably they fail it’s all just spun in some way that I blow sure but doesn’t go against anyone sure but sure everything is just it’s it’s so I i’ I if I anytime my name is mentioned it’s never positive well a lot of things have not gone well for you and you do enough of you know promoting your own self to where other people don’t feel the need to do it for you no one no one else feels the need to pump your tires well I nor do I expect them to right I’m not asking for my tires to be pumped I’m not making that statement I’m not asking for praise I’m just making the factual statement that if you Googled my name you would think that my career was a disaster that like I was a failure at this that’s all I’m saying if if you read it mhm and there’s more ways to spin that were number one that are negative towards us that I don’t understand like everybody should be like wow that’s great like that doesn’t often happen like there’s a big change where a partnership after 17 years ends and for a year you maintain this number one rating by a great margin but that’s just that’s not interesting so you could not talk about it at all or you could just go hey the the stage is number one I’m not asking for anything but just this this way of conceptualizing How It’s like sucks in like just some way it’s it’s terrible look Fred things aren’t going well for you I’m sorry they’ll get better they’ll get better all I’m saying is that it it’s I I know it’s going on so it’s I’m trying to just accept it after after after psych 25 years of it I think that it’s time to just go I don’t care anymore just do whatever you want I’m going to save you guys check I’m going to save you guys from a couple of things number one I was sucked into this will Ferell reveals original scrapped ending of anchor man this was on CNN other websites do you right for the most part um and that’s why I I still go on Twitter and Instagram if I want to see a video I just want to see it I went to the CNN page I watched a 302 commercial I then watched a 20 second leadup to the big reveal of what the original and then scrapped ending of anchor man was do you know what it was what’s her name uh Christina Applegate Christina Applegate’s character gets kidnapped by Vigilantes and will frell talking about it who in interviews and off the cuff is oftentimes the least funny person on the planet yeah uh he’s like yeah but people really didn’t like that so we changed the ending w wow I I went I had to I had to suffer through several minutes of ads and a bad leadup and will Ferell talking about it to find out that no the your original ending sucked you were you did the right thing by scrapping it Anchor Man is my second favorite movie of all time but I’ve had enough of Ron bergundy there’s a Ron bergundy podcast that I got excited for and it just is not good and I would like to know how much he’s making for doing it I would like to know your first favorite movie of all time it’s obvious it’s not interesting oh good fellow yeah okay right good it’s it’s not a it’s not fascinating I’m like everyone else um John meany got married I thought he was married to her I thought he was married to Olivia man they have a kid together but they she always has a sour face weird story isn’t it it’s it’s not it’s not your it’s weird that melany left his wife great for melany fans yeah no it’s not not I actually saw him last night he was on that celebrity who wants to be millionaire and I only caught like the last 30 seconds of it and I was kind of mad cuz I would have liked to have watched it to see if he was funny on together are fantastic I mean they’re they’re amazing yeah I well I shared the stage with them of course and you did well you held your own up there that’s because unlik that’s because you’re doing a great job PR unlike the chip CH and if no one’s told you that today I want to be the first to tell you if you want to tell you that as your colleague of all these years you Mr Sun 15 years now I I love you and I respect you I love you I know you great J that’s really something I know you do a great job if you go through Fred’s Clips you might come across the uh review of his uh chip chipperson podcast appearance which did not go well it did not but how much of that was on me and how much of that is that Jim and Anthony were on stage together going back and forth and but you’re you just said you were on stage with melany and and Nick crawling held your own it’s a little bit of a different audience you guys want you guys want to hear a great story yeah zo can’t make it into today he had a flat tire so he’s not coming to work he’s not coming he’s not coming to the office today oh he’s going to be but he’s he said he has an old bo this is how he described it an old box from football season that he’s going to hook up and do the show from home so how many technical difficulties do you think we’ll have here on this program seven that’s the over under I’ll let you guys make fun of him I’m in no position too all right that’ll do I know when I got to tap out all right that’ll
