Pardon me interruption, but I'm Mike Wilban. Tony

0:03

Tom Hanks, rather than right. We technologically

0:07

de aged In a new film,

0:11

Tony Cornheiser. You know what that could mean for

0:13

us? Fifty more years

0:15

of PTI. The

0:17

de aging process. You don't

0:19

love

0:20

it. It sounds good. Right?

0:22

And you wanna look young, you wanna feel young.

0:25

But, yeah, I don't wanna live in a

0:27

world where everything's streamed. I

0:29

don't wanna live in that world. You

0:32

know what I'm saying? You don't have to stream

0:34

everything. You got to. gonna

0:36

take away your satellite, you're gonna take away

0:38

your cable, two generations

0:41

of selfish people raised by

0:43

the likes of you and me, we're gonna

0:45

have nothing but young

0:47

looks. It's so

0:49

wonderful how pessimistic you are about

0:51

everything. Everything. Everything.

0:53

Welcome to PTI boys and girls.

0:56

Welcome back an old friend of the show, Mr. Michael

0:58

Willon. Hello,

1:04

Fuki. And we begin with big

1:06

coaching news in the NFL. Sean

1:08

Payton will reportedly be the next head coach

1:10

to the Denver Bronco's. The team's

1:12

sending a first and a second to the New Orleans

1:14

Saints for Payton and the third, and

1:17

Demiko Ryan's will exit his defensive

1:19

coordinator, the forty nine, is to take over the top

1:21

job with a tech since. Obam, what is your

1:23

reaction to these two hires? Just flashy.

1:26

Just flashy hires. You know, you get

1:28

you know, you get one day past a big

1:30

Championship two days, forty eight hours past,

1:33

big championship Sunday, and you get these

1:35

flashy hires. Look, you know I have

1:37

thought. I'm gonna take Denver first just because

1:39

Russell Wilson's there. Everybody knows

1:41

Russell Wilson. Yep. It's thirty four years old.

1:43

Right. There was a patch there. We

1:45

looked like a certain hall of fame quarterback.

1:48

Without a stupid call from an offensive

1:50

coordinator, he's got two Super Bowl rigs.

1:53

And I did not believe he's washed

1:55

up. I do not believe that. I gotta live

1:57

every Sunday with my son saying dad, your boy,

2:00

Russ. He's he's washed. No,

2:02

I don't believe that. I believe he was

2:04

the recipient of awful coaching,

2:06

non coaching. And now we're gonna find out

2:08

Sean Payton, we know can coach. Sean

2:11

Payton could have gone a lot of

2:13

places Why would it go to Denver?

2:15

Because Russell Wilson's there, he's got a better

2:17

recorder back who must be behind him in some ways,

2:19

a jewelry is Demiko Ryan's he I

2:21

mean, may he meteoric rise.

2:23

Two seasons as a coordinator. I

2:25

know that franchise has familiarity with

2:27

him. He's familiar to them. Because they

2:29

drafted him high in the second round. They

2:31

liked him. He played several seasons there and was

2:33

productive. And now he's a splashy

2:36

guy who somehow got

2:38

past the gatekeeper, and

2:40

we know what the gatekeeper is in the NFL.

2:43

Somebody looked at him and said, oh, even

2:46

though he's black in the Houston, Texas have

2:49

hired, like, four black coaches in a row. We

2:51

won't give him a shot. We won't give him a shot.

2:53

And so two splashy hires tone, I

2:55

am intrigued, fascinated by

2:57

both and can't wait to see the beginning

2:59

of the tenures of each.

3:02

Alright. I'll go backwards. I'll go backwards. I'll go

3:04

to Damika Ryan's first. He

3:07

played there I ASSUME HE

3:09

KNOWS THE OWNERSHIP THERE. HE GOT THE MOST

3:11

IMPORTANT THING POSSIBLE IN A CONTRACT. HE GOT

3:13

A LONG CONTRACT. I THINK IT'S A six

3:15

YEAR CONTRACT. They have had two black

3:17

coaches in a row, COLI, and LOVY

3:20

Smith that were gone in a year. Domingo

3:22

Ryan doesn't want any part of that. You get

3:24

a big contract. It is a commitment

3:26

from ownership. They know you. I think

3:28

he's got a chance. And in that particular

3:30

division at the moment As

3:32

Tennessee fades in Indianapolis's totally

3:35

lost. Jacksonville at this point. You worry about

3:37

Jacksonville. Yeah. You worry about but you only worry

3:39

about one team, which brings me to

3:41

Sean Payton. And my first

3:44

reaction was why would he go there?

3:46

I understand what you say about Russell Wilson.

3:48

A lot more in your son's camp. I'm

3:50

more in your son's camp than your camp. Russell

3:52

Wilson terrible this year, and sometimes people

3:54

fall along edge of the cliff. But he's the same

3:57

he's the same size as

3:59

Drew Breeze. And Sean Peyton knows

4:01

what to do with smaller quarterbacks, but

4:04

you're walking into a division and this is

4:06

my point about going to Denver. You're

4:09

walking into a division where the Kansas City

4:11

Chiefs have been a five straight championship

4:13

games. They aren't as close to a dynasty in

4:16

the west, and the AFC is as possible.

4:18

And in it with the chargers, you've got

4:20

an up and coming team and you've got a quarterback

4:23

in Justin Herbert that may be

4:25

a great quarterback. If I am

4:27

showing pain, I would've wait. We've talked

4:29

about this before. Wait for the chargers.

4:31

Maybe wait for the cowboys. So I don't know why he

4:33

jumped in here. And the other part of this, Mike,

4:35

is they gave up so many draft

4:36

picks. For Russell Wilson, that didn't give

4:39

up draft picks for Sean Pay. When they

4:41

got when they were paid, and when Sean

4:43

Paymaker's be Scurred, You skirt,

4:45

get a dog. I know. I mean, you know, get

4:47

two dogs. I

4:47

mean, you're gonna compete. You're

4:50

gonna compete or not. You're gonna say, oh, look at

4:52

them. They're too good.

4:52

They're not

4:53

gonna take a job. I'm gonna

4:54

stay on the booth. No. You

4:56

got a future hall of fame quarterback. You can get

4:58

back on track. You got a team

5:01

with got

5:01

money. That may be the richest franchise

5:03

in football right

5:03

now. They can go out. But you gotta get

5:06

him back on track. Oh, can you do it? You

5:08

you told me to quarterback whisperer,

5:10

everybody tells me how gracious your ratings for the

5:12

past ten

5:12

years, then damn it,

5:13

do I coach him? Coach him up. Frank

5:15

Frank Wright, another quarterback whisperer, went to

5:17

three in a row, got nothing out of it. So he

5:19

doesn't always say he doesn't always

5:21

happen. Now we move. Staying in football.

5:24

We moved to the San Francisco forty nine as

5:26

quagmire at quarterback. Block

5:28

parties soliciting second opinions on

5:30

surgery for a storm UCL in his

5:32

throwing elbow It be out six months

5:34

or longer. Jimmy Guaropolo is

5:36

an unrestricted free agent. Outperformance is

5:38

under contract, but is recovering

5:40

from a broken ankle and has only four

5:42

starts in two

5:43

seasons. Well, man, this is a terrific team.

5:45

Yeah. What should the niners do at quarterback?

5:47

Go

5:47

get one of the Golden Boy Gods

5:50

for a

5:50

year. You might get Aaron Rogers

5:52

for two. Start start looking into it

5:54

seriously. I know everybody in New

5:56

York has got them going to the jets,

5:58

you know, ground. He's toes and not even

6:00

touching the ground. He's so happy about that reporting

6:03

in those rumors. III get that tone. The

6:05

Jets have a lot of stuff assets and they could

6:07

be a really good team with a with a great

6:09

quarterback. The niners,

6:11

Air and Rogers, not from New York,

6:13

from from Northern California. And

6:15

Tom Brady. Right? Go get one of them. You

6:18

get one of them. Right? To me,

6:20

you're the favorite in the NFC.

6:22

You are. Because they don't Tony,

6:24

they got all the other stuff. If

6:26

you're Aaron Rogers with those weapons,

6:28

are you kidding me? You

6:30

go get one of those two and you kill the other two

6:33

kids. Take your time, get them back.

6:35

You're gonna sit. We're gonna have these

6:37

guy, this guy for a year or two

6:39

and then we'll get back to

6:40

you. In a minute after a station break.

6:43

It's what's wonderful to have you back. You

6:45

totally surprised me on this. Usually,

6:47

if if I bring up Tom Brady

6:49

around and

6:49

Roger, you say, shut up with this, Rick. Shut up.

6:51

Leave me a ear. So

6:52

you're right. You're yep. You're on the

6:54

right path. Jimmy Garopolo is

6:56

Go ahead. These guys think he will probably end up

6:58

in Vegas with his former coordinator,

7:00

Josh McDaniel. If I'm Shanghai

7:03

and Lynch, I'm I'm good. With

7:05

Trey Lance. I'm good waiting to see what he

7:07

can do. I traded a lot of

7:09

pigs for him. I don't know that he's

7:11

bad yet. I don't know that he's good. And if

7:13

and if Purdy could get back by opening day,

7:15

I'm thrilled. Pretty was great

7:17

this year. Absolutely great. He'd

7:19

lose any games in the games he started and

7:20

finished, but you don't know

7:21

he's great. You don't know when he's coming back. You know? But

7:23

in this Right. In this vacuum of

7:25

uncertainty, what Russia's in? Wild speculation

7:28

Russia's in like Tom Brady to go

7:30

play one year with a team that

7:32

was the team of his youth in

7:34

Northern California. He had no

7:36

running backs at all in Tampa.

7:38

He's got McAfee, he's got

7:40

Samuel. He's got McAfee and Samu

7:43

throw to along with Ayuch and

7:45

Kittle and Kittle will remind him of Gronkowski.

7:47

He's got a defense like he had

7:49

in the wind. Every thing. Great.

7:52

He got it up. So you do it. It looks

7:54

great on paper. The only thing you worry about

7:56

is Hello, he's forty six now.

7:57

Steve, you got little bit. What about Rob? He's still

7:59

ripped it. What about Rob? He can I

8:02

think Brady, I think I think you do

8:04

Brady because Brady presents a

8:06

master class for Purdy

8:08

and Lance for the future and he's out in a

8:10

year at we

8:10

move? You get a trade for Rogers. We wanna get

8:13

Rogers. You got more that story is

8:15

great. Last week, we had golf

8:17

beef with Rory and Reed. Last

8:19

night, we had basketball beef with

8:21

Luca Doncic and Detroit assistant

8:23

coach Jerome Allen. Allen was trash

8:25

talking from the opening tip and Luca gave

8:27

it right back them. And this was visible all

8:29

game. You'd have to think Luca won the battle

8:31

as he had fifty three points since he

8:33

won. Well, by the UN right with an

8:35

assistant coach, and assistant coach -- Yeah. --

8:37

being engaged this way with a star like Luca

8:39

Don. My immediate answer knowing about this a little

8:41

bit last night was, it depends on who your

8:43

assistant is. I mean, as you

8:45

know, Tony, we we spent you

8:47

and I spent a whole century together

8:49

around basketball and basketball practices

8:51

and coaches. And we know what

8:53

certain was as sad as

8:55

certain assistants have and had. And

8:57

it's okay. Because they probably go to the

8:59

head coach and the head coach could have gone to me. So you know what?

9:01

Let's get under his skin tonight. Would your mentor

9:03

Larry Brown have done something like that? I'm just wondering.

9:05

Let's get under his skin. He's gonna

9:08

score fifty anyway. Let's try the

9:10

coaches. What is that's right. You got

9:12

twelve. Yeah. So if one guy gets thrown out, what

9:14

the hell? And I'm thinking this

9:16

Some assistant coaches were at sorta

9:18

like this. But nothing is throwing

9:20

Luca off. I mean, it just

9:22

doesn't. I mean, he's he think Luca

9:24

Doncic may be

9:26

the greatest offensive weapon

9:28

in the game. Even even more than

9:31

Joker, Kevin Durant, LeBron

9:33

at a hundred and eighty years old is better than

9:35

anybody else ever passed the agent like

9:37

thirty three. But still,

9:39

duchess, man, you can't stop and maybe this

9:41

was a ploy. How do we know? It'll

9:43

come

9:43

out. Alright. It'll drip out. Maybe it was

9:45

a zoning. Do I Am

9:47

I okay with trash talking? Sure. I know

9:49

you. Am I okay with the assistant coaches trash

9:52

talking? Sure. You know what? Because I watch the

9:54

mix trainer, Danny Whalen.

9:56

Do trash talking a hundred years

9:58

ago. But I'm not okay with stupidity.

10:01

Alright? When Luca Doncic's goes

10:03

seventh rate in the first quarter has twenty four

10:05

points in the last

10:06

quarter. Slow it down.

10:07

Let it go. What did

10:10

raftery say about your own send

10:12

it in Jerome. Send it in. Well, Duane Casey

10:14

should have said, zip it up Jerome

10:16

because this is not working. The

10:19

amazing thing about Doncic. And I was

10:21

I I love this statistic. He now

10:23

has five games over fifty

10:25

before he's twenty four years

10:26

old. You know who's on that line? Right. One.

10:29

And LeBron.

10:30

Well, well, to LeBron. Okay.

10:33

And Rick Barry had

10:35

seven. So that is rare air. Dontich

10:38

will be twenty four on

10:40

February twenty eight. So he's got a

10:42

month to Patrick Barry. You know what I would

10:44

tell him to do? Doing Jerome Allen to

10:46

every single

10:46

game. Bring him. Let him me up.

10:49

Danny Whitwell. I would do. Danny

10:51

Whitwell. Get away with that. Was he in struck

10:53

it to be Always by Red Holzman. Did

10:55

the great Red

10:55

Holzman? Red set. Yes. Red

10:58

set it. Danny, you're gonna be my

11:00

mouthpiece because I can't get thrown out and

11:02

you can. Let's take a

11:03

break. Love that. Still to come with Patrick

11:06

Mahomes or Jalen Hertz, benefit

11:08

more from a Super Bowl win. Top

11:10

ten teams, Kansas state, Kansas meet

This time

13:21

for Tahoe, so two men enter,

13:24

one man leaves, finishes the show and

13:26

begins his long commute home

13:28

of one flight of

13:28

stairs. What's the first toss-up? Which

13:31

quarterback would benefit more from

13:33

a Super Bowl win? Patrick

13:35

Mahomes or Jalen Hertz?

13:37

Alright. In the near term, the answer is

13:40

Jalen Hertz because he was under

13:42

tremendous scrutiny this year to prove

13:44

himself and indeed he did. If he wins

13:46

a Super Bowl, he joins in class of

13:48

quarterbacks that nobody thought

13:50

he would be in at the beginning of the

13:52

year. But is he gonna get a handful

13:54

of Philadelphia? Probably not.

13:56

So for historic purposes, Mike,

13:58

the benefit is for is

14:00

for Patrick Holmes. It would give him second

14:02

Super Bowl at the age of

14:04

twenty seven. So that if you got two,

14:06

you would stall back, you would Payton Manning,

14:08

you would your boy, John, Elway,

14:10

You with greasy, you with Bart

14:12

Starr. Lucky the Allegiant Fields for quarterbacks

14:14

is three. Troy Aitman

14:16

has three and then you go to four

14:18

with Montana and Bradshaw, and

14:20

Brady's way ahead. I mean, this so

14:23

you can't get to three

14:25

if you don't get the two, ask Aaron

14:27

Rogers. The answer is Patrick. You can't get the

14:29

two unless you get the one. And how

14:31

about one? Well, damn, Marino don't

14:33

have one. Fran Tarkin didn't

14:35

have one. The great Jim Kelly don't

14:37

have one. There's a lot of guys out there that

14:39

and even a guy like Aaron Rogers

14:42

has one. Getting to one

14:44

is a a much bigger deal. I'll give out

14:46

multiples, Patrick Holmes. If he's as great

14:48

as everybody is saying his own, every time you

14:50

turn on a television set, in the last

14:52

forty eight hours, seventy two hours. He'll

14:54

get his three or four because everybody's

14:56

proclaimed him the greatest thing they've ever

14:58

seen. So jailing had to earn

14:59

him on his vehicle.

15:00

One, One, that puts you

15:03

ahead of damn Marino. You

15:05

like that company? That's

15:05

right. That's how LACIA's company. That's right.

15:08

It is. No. Mine -- Right. -- hurts. But

15:10

you would puts you with Joe

15:12

Flacco for

15:12

example. That's okay. What's next? Awesome.

15:14

They play tonight. Who are you more

15:16

bullish on? Number seven Kansas

15:18

state or number eight

15:20

Kansas? Okay.

15:22

So I'm gonna say this about Kansas.

15:24

They beat Kentucky. I did not think they

15:26

were gonna beat Kentucky. Didn't.

15:28

So I am probably more bullish on Kansas

15:30

now than Kansas State. First of all, they're at

15:32

home, although that didn't matter against TCU.

15:34

But if I have this record right,

15:37

They're fifty two and eighteen at home in

15:39

Allen Fieldhouse against Kansas

15:41

State. It's an in state rivalry. They

15:43

just lost a couple of weeks ago

15:45

in Kansas State, so that is fresh

15:47

on their minds. They had an opportunity.

15:49

You know, they've lost three straight

15:51

conference games. Kansas had an opportunity to

15:53

be the big name school. They did that with

15:55

Kentucky. Now they have an opportunity to

15:57

beat a conference school that's actually

15:59

ranked ahead of them in

16:01

Kansas State and I think they will

16:03

do

16:03

it. Note to the ESPN marketing

16:06

people. There's no NBA

16:08

rivalry week. There's Lakers

16:10

Celtics and everybody else take a step back. This

16:13

is a rivalry. Kansas Kansas

16:15

state. Right. Even though it's wildly

16:17

lopsided, wildly I'm going with

16:19

Kansas State because it's easy for me

16:21

-- Sure. -- to roof for a team that's called

16:23

the wildcats, they wear us purple.

16:25

That's not -- It's purple. -- and I wanna see

16:27

Kiyante Johnson who can

16:29

dazzle you. Okay? And,

16:31

Tony, they've won twelve out of

16:33

fourteen, and they used to lose for

16:35

so long. They went

16:37

like a period of twelve or thirteen

16:40

years where they could

16:42

not win a game against

16:44

Kansas. They would just go on for

16:46

better than a decade. So

16:48

this is this or even though they've been

16:50

beat down, they were like a homecoming opponent,

16:52

the rise, at least in this context

16:54

of Kansas State,

16:56

is interesting in its relationship

16:59

with Kansas. That's alright.

17:01

We're that's worth

17:01

watching. Yep. Right. Chiante,

17:04

like some chains and a nice city Chiante.

17:07

it. Let's take one last break still to

17:08

come. A memorable finish to the grand

17:11

finale. I'd like my pronounced

17:13

that in Venezuela. And should

17:15

Tyler Huntley be headed to the pro

17:16

bowl, whatever's left of that junk.

17:19

No. You know

17:19

what? Not even the manning. You gotta get The

17:21

manning's just so

17:22

great to give it. You can't

17:24

make me watch that junk.

17:27

It's junk and you

17:28

just being obsolete in it. You have to give it a chance.

17:30

No. I know something new. I just want to hear

17:32

change in

17:32

Eli. Maybe they can come for us. I

17:35

just

17:35

wanna hear them beyond that game. I don't wanna see

17:37

the game. Well, I tell them what. Why don't

17:39

you call in and see if they'll talk to

17:41

you?

17:41

This week on Lighthouse, we've talked to

17:44

interior designer and trading space

17:46

star, Vern Yip, about his journey as

17:48

the son of Chinese immigrants

17:50

ended the decision to buck expectations and follow

17:52

his

17:52

passion. I would be in this lab. You know,

17:54

the first question on my brain was wired

17:56

these walls, this horrible shade of yellow.

18:00

We also talk about meeting his husband

18:02

and the decision to grow their family with

18:04

the help of a surrogate. What was important

18:07

to us that she was somebody that we could see

18:09

ourselves

18:09

dating. You could find

18:10

life out loud with me, nosy Granusing,

18:12

wherever you get your favorite podcast.

18:15

New episodes drop every Thursday.

18:22

Have you

18:25

done, Pete. Happy

18:27

fifty fifth birthday, Doug Peterson.

18:30

What an odd feeling Peterson must have. Seeing the Eagles

18:32

in the Super Bowl. Peterson coached the

18:34

Eagles from two thousand sixteen through two thousand

18:37

twenty. And he won the Super Bowl in two

18:39

thousand seventeen season with his

18:41

second string quarterback Nick

18:43

Bowles. Peterson's record in Philadelphia forty

18:45

two thirty seven and one. That's not the kind

18:47

of numbers that usually prompt

18:49

being fired. But Peterson and Eagle's owner,

18:51

Jeffrey Lurie reportedly disagreed on

18:53

JLH. So Lori showed on

18:55

the door. Peterson resurfaced this year

18:57

in Jacksonville with the young stud quarterback in

19:00

Trevor Lawrence. After starting off two

19:02

and

19:02

six, Jacksonville closed seven and two.

19:05

Won the division and even want a playoff

19:07

game. That's gonna get Peterson votes for

19:09

coach of the year. The will tell him

19:11

and and he earned it. I just wonder, is he

19:13

actually gonna win? You know

19:15

what? You want in Philly? Is he is he

19:17

gonna win with

19:19

Trevor? It looks like they've got the

19:21

makings of that but

19:23

that's a long way to go,

19:24

man. They still got a quite a path to travel.

19:27

I'm not so happy

19:29

anniversary Leon Leggett. On the state thirty

19:31

years ago, with Dallas already pummeling

19:33

Buffalo in the Super Bowl, cowboys

19:35

defensive tackle picked up

19:37

a fumble. The Dallas thirty five was all alone as he

19:39

raced down the sideline for potential

19:41

touchdown. As led got to the ten

19:43

yard running, he slowed down and

19:45

watched himself on the stadium replay

19:47

screen prepping for an endzone dance.

19:49

Let's slowing down to gaze at himself,

19:51

allowed Buffalo wide receiver, Darmbeat

19:54

in a full sprint reach out and slap the

19:56

ball away just before let

19:58

cross the goal line. Leaving that

20:00

with this legacy and the

20:02

Thanksgiving Day Field Gold Snapple in the snow

20:05

against

20:05

Miami. Tony, it was

20:08

bad, but it wasn't nearly as

20:10

dumb as hitting the

20:13

homes. Already not just out of

20:15

bounds, but past the out of

20:17

bounds white line.

20:19

It's just not. It's just you know, and PTI feel sorry

20:21

later for these guys. You don't wanna be too

20:23

critical. But in real time, is that

20:25

tell my kid I'm gonna

20:27

rip you. I'll hug you later. You do something that

20:29

dumb. I'm gonna rip you

20:32

now. Spoken

20:35

like a true guy who wanted

20:37

Cincinnati to win just like me. Yeah.

20:39

Happy trails to the grand finale

20:42

in Venezuela. Held castroom. It

20:44

is solo homero walk off in the bottom

20:46

of eleventh inning. And the Leoné

20:48

stay with Caracas. Hope I did that right.

20:50

176 to take the

20:52

final series and win the Venezuela professional baseball

20:54

league championship, giving them the right

20:56

to represent Venezuela in the

20:58

upcoming Caribbean series. Did you pay attention

21:00

to Castro as he tossed his basket? As

21:03

he rounded the basket? As he stopped

21:05

in the basket to beat his

21:07

own chest? He broke every

21:09

unwritten rule of baseball and

21:11

joyfully broke each one of them ten

21:12

times. If he played in the majors, the

21:15

pitches would hit him every time he came

21:17

up to bat until June will

21:19

buy. Tony, I love that that

21:21

baseball that we know

21:22

soccer. And hockey and basketball,

21:25

have these great international players

21:27

and great international teams, and I

21:29

wonder if the teams here are sort

21:31

of scared of them. Like,

21:33

I wanna see some more direct play. How

21:36

good are the players in Venezuela and the

21:38

teams? And at least, I've seen in

21:40

covered games with shubbin baseball. And I

21:42

know how great they work, right, at a

21:44

period in the eighties, in the nineties, in the arts. They were just

21:46

they were as singly as greatest major league

21:49

teams, perhaps, just

21:49

wonder, we don't know enough. What

21:52

about the world baseball classic? I

21:55

do not think that that is a legitimate

21:57

international circumstance. I don't know that

21:57

a number we try. I

21:58

anticipate in it that I get to

22:01

see fully what I wanna see. I

22:03

like it, but I wanna see more So

22:05

if you

22:06

were, If you were Rod Manfred,

22:08

would you tell Major League Baseball?

22:10

Let's take some time out. Yeah. They used to

22:12

doing hockey

22:12

tennis. And let's play in this. Yes. Right? And

22:15

NBA avoids that. Because the

22:17

nineteen MVPs are international players,

22:19

and they don't wanna play them instead they

22:21

play stupid shirts and skins in the All Star

22:23

game. Who cares? Play the US versus

22:25

the internationals. They don't wanna do that. They might

22:28

lose. Let's go to

22:30

the big fish.

22:30

Do it before Wilban goes to nuts.

22:32

The Wizards beat the Spurs and Antonio

22:35

last night for the first time since nineteen ninety nine.

22:37

Is that something to be proud of? Is something

22:39

to be embarrassed about him being in

22:41

twenty four

22:42

years? Come on. Tyler Huntley and the

22:44

Ravens was named the pro bowl

22:47

as a replacement for Josh

22:48

Allen. If anything makes sense with

22:51

that junk format, Well,

22:53

that that doesn't. I mean, he was a

22:55

backup on Golden War. I mean, man,

22:57

really. Come on. To

22:58

scratch, next to you boy? Yeah. I'm

23:01

tired from baseball after fourteen seasons. How you

23:03

gonna remember his? He's gonna hit me.

23:05

Citterfielder, starter? thousand

23:07

sixteen World Champion Chicago Cubs

23:09

home run. First, that bat leading

23:11

off the game in game seven. And Cleveland I was

23:13

there, Phil Mickelson's he is down to

23:15

his college playing

23:16

weight. You'd expect better from him?

23:19

Anything much from him? Always

23:21

fifty two. I mean, I love watching

23:23

him. I don't think cares about winning all that much anymore. Last

23:25

one, LeBron will play tonight. Didn't play

23:27

last night against the

23:28

Knicks. So you're excited. LeBron will watch

23:30

a heavy mattress. He's gonna be

23:33

particularly revved up for

23:35

playing in Madison Square Garden, the world's

23:37

most famous arena because he didn't even play last

23:38

night. Energy home, watch We're out

23:41

of time. We're

23:42

trying to get her the next time. Happy birthday,

23:44

Adam Rosemarie. I'm my

23:47

cobalt saint I'm on the plan you can

23:48

get, the PTI podcast on the

23:51

ESPN app or Apple podcast. And

23:54

now, your

23:55

sports you're going to the all star game. We're

23:57

going down to the US. Is that

23:59

why we haven't seen you? We're on a cruise.
