[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get him acclimated to the game. Kevin, there were games where Kevin had eight shots in the first quarter and four the rest of the game. But you got him involved early. And, and that is how you get Evan involved early, is you make a point of emphasis, especially first possession down, first play down, the touch is going to four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, he said he doesn't think that's good leadership. Like, he said, I'll, I'll try to win every game I play. Like, I'm out to win every single game I play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and obviously I understand what he's saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think it's more beneficial in the long run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. Darius and Evan, you guys figure out how to get us over the line and how to win this game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm going to stand here if you need me, but I'm not going to have the ball in my hands. I'm not going to initiate. I want you guys to take the shots, run the actions and see how this goes. And I think for the long-term betterment health of everyone involved, that's more beneficial. But Donovan disagrees with that and says, I'm going to win every game I play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They really, in my opinion, started the small ball movement. In those finals, they put Kawhi at the four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think the Spurs really started what we see. And I know the Warriors get a lot of credit with the death line up in Draymond at the 5 and shooters all over the floor. But when the Spurs used Kawhi at the 4 in those finals, I remember thinking like, wow, this feels like a new era is beginning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't hear him talk about, but I know what you're talking about because he called the switch. He called the switch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll play, there was a clip from this season where he was like in another team's huddle or watching the play or something and they shield him so he couldn't see. He goes, it's alright, I'll figure it out anyway. Like, I don't need to see it, I'll figure it out. His memory on this stuff is staggering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll be curious to see what happens with Anthony Davis now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That series flips dramatically if Davis can't play. I know they're, they don't think he has, I haven't seen an update. I have not seen anything that says he can't play. I mean it's only 10 a.m. on the west coast. So, uh, but if he's out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That changes everything drastically. If AD plays, Lakers are going to conference finals. I've thought that along, Lakers sons in the conference finals, only if AD plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and he may need that. And if he's got it in him and AD can't play, it has to be game six. You don't want, you don't want going back for a road game seven. This is not 2016. If he does have one more gear left, and I don't know if it's age or if it's his foot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, but we may get our answer if AD can't go because he may have to have one more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monster LeBron game in order to close out this series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come find me Saturday at Emerald Center in Avon. My wife is doing an event for Mother's Day. If you haven't bought a gift yet, there's all kinds of vendors there. It's only $5 to get in. You get special gifts for Mom. I'll be there all day from 9 to 3. Come hang out, talk calves to me, say hi if you're there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Emerald Center and Avon, all proceeds benefit Trials for Hope. It's the homeless shelter. I've talked about it before. Uh, she does some administrative work for them and it goes to a good cause. The five dollars to get in and please come out and help support them. Find me. Let's talk Cavs, Browns, Guardians, whatever you want. I'll be there from nine to three on Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm cooking on Sunday from Mother's Day. I'm doing a brunch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did it last year too. I'm good at breakfast. Not so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really tough world. If I want him to 68, he's gonna have to be tough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to the Essence Food Festival.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] G Bush in the building, uh, Tyvis Powell, and the OG himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got, uh, we got the owner and creator of Double XL Magazine and we got a brand new sponsor on the show, Murray's Hair Grease, a staple in the community for so many years. Uh, and we have Duke Beard for Tyvis as well. Duke Beard comb through.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean we say, Tyvis has, and since he's here, we're going to do that. Tyvis, could you tell everybody, uhm, the wager about you not, you, you not doing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we, do we have a guy who is back there counting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, so here's the only problem with 30 years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if you single and you're 30, you got an issue. So you got- You do? Yea, you got a problem.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's the conundrum? The conundrum is, you can date somebody that's extremely younger than you. He could theoretically get 21 off and that's not a problem, but he also could get 41 off. What's wrong with that? You're speaking from experience? Oh yeaah, listen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So 21, if you go down too young for 21, you'd be like, man, this girl's cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She's 14 years old in the head. That's the thing. I don't got time for you melting in the club. That is the thing. I don't got. Oh my God.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, man. Hey, you can follow my dating advice. Hey, man, you gotta love me so much. You gotta, you only met me once. You get one time to meet me when we get married.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I had my fun in college, uhm, then I got on the internet, then I met my other wife. And one day, it worked out well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, see, let me, I'm gonna start with, you know, you guys are two Buckeyes and I think, uh, you know, Brad, you've been, uh, you know, you've been vocal about one, uh, one Ezekiel Elliott. Uhm, when you look at this running back, uh, crew, you know, we take a look at Nick Chubb is still here. Kareem Hunt no longer was with the, with the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think that Ezekiel Elliott will be an upgrade from what they have in Jerome Ford?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Tyvis, I don't- you play with Zeke, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you played with Zeke, I digress. Uhm, do you think Zeke has anything left in it's head?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said it one point in time, that nah, you don't need Zeke Elliott. Nah, you don't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I've looked at what the team is doing. I'm looking at what the Cleveland Browns is telling you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That they, they, they kinda made some mistakes a couple of places. When you go back and you look at the roster,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at the roster when we said, hey, you don't have receivers, you don't have D linemen, and they got exposed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] During the year and not having it. They said, hey, you need to get a Joe Woods up out of here and your special teams is trash. Guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They thought the same thing. He got two new coordinators. When you look at this roster, how they throwing people at the defensive line room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're getting veterans, they're getting rookies, they're getting undrafted dudes, they're going to trade for guys. They got two extra receivers and they drafted a receiver with their first pick. That just goes to show you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We weren't excited about Anthony Schwartz. David Bell didn't do what we thought he was going to do. And we didn't, you know what? You got us. That's our problem. Our bad. Let's get back to the table and bring some different people in and see if we can revitalize this mix. So when I look at a guy like Ezekiel Elliott, yeah, Jerome Ford is there, but here's what I want to see though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If it ain't gonna cost me but a little bit of money, and money ain't the issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want that competition. I want Jerome Foreign to see what it looked like to have two top backs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the difference. And when you're trying to make a playoff push,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the fact that when you talk about Zeke Elliott, and I like the fact you brought up the special teams, you would have to do something with the roster. So say for instance, this guy like Nick Harris. Nick Harris can play guard and center. So if I need to keep


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got guys and you may look at it and say, okay, well, if I wanted to bring Zeke Elliott in and I'm keeping Jerome Ford, that means you keep Grant. That means


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want six, I want, and this is what happens when I'm looking at these down the line guys, right? If you take a Cedric, tell me, in the third or fourth, third round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not looking for Cedric Tillman to give. I need Cedric Tillman maybe to give me five plays in a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Five plays. I don't know where they gonna come. I want five. If I'm looking at a Zeke Elliott, I'm not looking at Zeke and giving me an autumn carries. I just want Zeke to give me twenty plays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be in the air, it could be a blitz pickup, it could be here, it could be on the gold line running tough, strong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Caught his number, boom. So my thing is when the Browns is going to be in a pinch some point during that season. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a good luxury to get 10, 15 carries from Zeke Elliott. I look at a game where I could get the Saints. When it was cold, people out in the weather, it was ridiculous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if you could have gave the ball to a Zeke Elliott? What if you could have gave the ball to, uh, uh, uh, uh, Charlie?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facts, like they kinda went away, and that's, I think there's a little bit to be said for that too. You just brought up a good point. If you're gonna go get Zeke Elliott, you gotta use him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they had a Zeke Elliott type in Kareem Hunt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you know, I look at this offense and I think more than anything, uhm, it's the philosophy of what they want to run.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, I think that's the biggest question mark, uhm, that we'll deal with for the rest of the season because, Brad, we really don't, like, we, we just, we just blanketly think that, hey, Deshaun Watson is here, we're gonna start throwing the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know very many teams that, I don't know very many teams that have ever changed their identity just like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Overnight. And I don't know what to expect it to even look like in terms of the passing game because, you know, you go from 20, 30 carries for, you know, Nick Chubb, you go, you getting, you know, 15 carries and touches for Kareem Hunt. Now let's say we got receivers, throw the ball over the park. Is that something you think it works?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think to me, I look at it this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you going, if the browns are at a point where...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I said this earlier, people thought I was laughing and joking because I just say it sometimes. People say, I mean, we overreact. Bro, they got about six games, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've used their good will up. They used a year on Baker. They kept Joe Woods way too long. Now you got Deshaun Watson. They got stung in the foot a little bit because they could have made some of these changes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My thing is you can't get down the road and say, oops, I got a flat tire when, when you know this is your last race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, to kind of back them up. Uh, you know, we, we expect Nick Chubb to be durable and healthy. And I think they want to get, if they haven't done it yet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they just want to give Jerome Ford the opportunity. Now, if Kareem Hunt gets, or excuse me, if uh, Nick Chubb gets hurt, I think all bets are off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's, there's a thing to be said for, hey, Nick Chubb is on the field. It's hard, it's hard to coach somebody up on the field. Now, if I got Zeke Elliott by, by, by, uh, by, by Youngboy, I'm, he's saying, okay, well, let's look and see what's out here. Look at this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I look at it like this, if it ain't no money, I always tell...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always, I'm looking at it from this standpoint. I agree with that statement. What? What you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll tell you why. Sometimes we get into this thing where we tell people we don't need a certain person. We don't need that. We don't need, and I just keep seeing my teams come in last place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't, you can't be a last place team and say what you don't need. Like obviously you need a lot because you came in last and the team that came ahead of you had a rookie quarterback. Like, like, you know, you know, they laugh at Brad all the time, like, cause he said Carmelo, how many times he gonna mention Carmelo, but what he said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All them little wishes and happy thoughts turned to Jetty Osmond and Rubio and them people weren't giving you nothing anyway. So how funny was it? Like, like it was how far-fetched was it? Because sometimes you realize when you look at people, you understand, oh, you self-checked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll give you an example, and this is a real world example. When we started off with this show, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Director Steve, you know, he had already retired. He had already, he didn't already ran his race.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what I'm saying? Multiple, you know, Emmy award winning. So when they put a team together, we got the young guys. You know, I consider myself a young guy. I've, I've cut my teeth. Tivus, I consider Tivus a young guy. McNuggets is a young guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm the, I can't be the weakest link. I gotta come in here cause they setting the example of what type of team and what kind of hierarchy we want to put together. So sometimes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you bring a veteran in and when you bring a guy in, it don't even need to be on the field. They just setting the tone saying,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This the type of dude that we, we, we like, we aspire to be. And this is the type that we want to build our roster around. And what it'll do...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If, if they brought a different person in here, and they had a bunch of young kids around, and everybody was new in the industry, we might get on the set and be like, we know everything, we about to get this, and they're like, no, no, no, no, no, no, this is how you, this is a professional, this is how you get it done, and let's get it working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The running back position is not going to make or break them. Right. Uhm, it's not a position where you're just going to be like, oh my gosh, gee, oh my goodness, they did not have anybody behind their truck, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, I think they want to go, I think the running back position, they're rethinking what that position is as we speak. And I think, you know, obviously they want to get guys that are cheaper, younger. If Jerome Ford can give you the exact same Ezekiel Ali can.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then, you know, let him rock out. I think uhm, I think they'll just be fine. Uh, you know, Mcnuggets moving along. We talked about it a little bit. We're moving to the Guardians. Uh, Guardians lost five straight series. They actually, they actually stepped up and got a big time series win against the Twins. Uh, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bat still ain't doing too much, but, uh, hey, we'll take it. We'll take that. Quancho, uh, had almost a no hitter going into that. I believe it was the seventh inning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, well, look, you know, they get, uh, I like hinges his back. He's throwing the ball a little bit better. I'm glad to see his big self throwing a ball pause. Uhm, throwing the ball, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, by the way, uhm, I look at this with the roster, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we talked about it earlier this season. And Bull was here, he said it, Jay said it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you get, when you get a season where all of your young guys play well, we talked about when, when and who would be the people that fall back down to the mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's, he's, you know, not like he's hit a snag or anything, but he played well the other night.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he, he, he, he had a game-winning home run, he showed a little power, but here's the thing, I always ask, I keep asking every, every single week, I'm like, yo, is y'all worried about Jose yet? They're like, nah, he good, 285, the numbers is looking, I said, but here's the thing, I think about it. He was hitting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leading, probably leading the league in MVP voting. When you only got 17 home runs, which is last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They got 18. Put some respect in the name. Steven Kwan hit one. So 18, they still last.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look at the teams that are ahead of them in warm weather cities. The Rockies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, you look at it, I don't know if you can win this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Uh, but like you said, thank goodness they're in the American League Central because if they was in, I mean the Rays are what, 28 and 7? They've lost 7 games or something. It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. And by the way they have 71 home runs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you only have 18 home runs and someone has 71, that means they have an opportunity, they're getting, they're getting 3 for your 1.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know how many hits in a row you gotta get to get runs? Like the guardians have to do two, three hits in a row. But the funny thing about baseball is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the ball bounces a certain few ways and they needed a series and they won the series because they could have been down six.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could have been down 5-6 games in the division by losing a series. They got to, you got to win, Concho preached well, and you look at it, McKenzie might be able to get back with it by the end of May, and all of a sudden this thing looks a little better.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and my thing is, but what the guardians have to watch is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before, we always believed that the Guardians, if you watched the standings, they were either going to win the, won the, uh, America League Central, or they would be in contention for a wild card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That ain't a thing. Uh, these American League East dudes is. No, they gotta win. Like these guys are out. If, how many games would they be behind in a wild card race if theoretically it started right now McNuggets? They gotta win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they, if the guardians, who would be a wild card team right now if you looked at it and like literally speaking for the playoffs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then the guardians at 16 and 18. They, they, I, I, so, so, I, I think they gotta win the division. I, I mean, because right now they're under 500. Granted, they could get hot, but, you know. They're closer to the division than they are to the wild card. Yeah, they're closer to the division than the wild card. So that's the thing that you, we should be watching the rest of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, we, we know that, hey, we're in second place, but second place ain't traditional second place, given the fact that the American League East is playing the way they're playing, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, we'll, we'll see, we'll monitor that and see how it goes, but they are lucky. They are where they are. But if, if you do get, uh, you know, Mackenzie back, I love Bybee, Logan is pitching well, Quantrill continue to pitch. You might see Gavin Williams up there by the end of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Travis Hafter, you can't say that, right? Travis Hafter is a guy, uhm, even after that, you've had, let me see, there's a few guys that have had, Hafter has been a dude.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what, for a lot of people, for, and I'm gonna give you this, for a lot of people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, when you look at it back in the 90s, for a lot of people,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offense brings people to the park. People say sometimes, why do you think that, you know, guardians struggle sometimes?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, with, with, with attendance, and that's because of the small ball, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, nobody, nobody is coming to the ballpark to see, uhm, you know, guys hit singles. To be truthful, I'll give you this. There's more people that watch baseball in the late 90s watching Maguire and Sosa.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When that was moving, people don't understand. What a time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They take a look at it from one perspective, but from an African American perspective.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go back and watch those games and go back and see how many black people you saw in the stands. Go back and see how many people in barbershops was talking about the home run chase and the Maguires and the Sosa's and the Bonds and you got the Frank Thomas. Those guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what really brought you to the part. And if you was the Indians back then.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Indians had the Rolls Royce of lineups. When you say, I could go back and I say from the top of my lineup, I could say, you got, uh, uh, Roberto Alomar, you Sandy Alomar could put it out, but you have Tony, you had Bell, you had Ramirez, you had Kenny Lofton was electrifying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It kinda, like, it changed the way people thought about the team. And it wouldn't have been a start if they wouldn't have gone from that type of box office stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He gave him two discounts, to be real, to be truthful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It worked out because Jimenez is what he, wait, wait, a great replacement. But the thing here is I think people don't realize a little bit sometimes too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not only the, the, the, the, then they went through an era where, okay, that, that era worked, but they had pictures like C.C. Sebastian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When CeCe Sabathie and Cliff Lee left, they was like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's hard to sell. Like, hey, we're not going to do the big bats and stuff, but we got pitchers now. And then the pitchers wanted to get paid and they weren't going to do it. So there's always this perception that you're fighting against and it's still here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The people that are intrinsically in it, like Bull or Jay, they understand the minutia of it and they'll say, oh, Bieber gotta go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you gotta think about what the reality of that is, deeper is somebody's favorite player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That just does not bode well for a fanbase that says, we gon' ride or die with you. It's more of, we'll come catch you if you're good. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, what are your thoughts, uh, Tyvis, as you look at it? I mean, uh, I don't, I don't have any, like, you know, Brad said, I don't have any children, um, as of now, but you got children. And he said, one of the things that was powerful, you said, is the natural order of a thing as a father is that you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You, then you expect your children to bury you. Yeaah. Not the opposite way around.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, because, you know, a lot of people struggle and they believe that, you know, because you have money that changes stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And just, if you thought that for one second, just look at the Gilbert family. Uhm, you know, wealth don't buy health. Uhm, you know, I'm sure Dan Gilbert,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has enough money to do a lot of things, but just knowing that he does not have enough money to fix his son.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or he doesn't have enough money to change his predicament as far as his hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sometimes I think you gotta look at other people's lives and learn something from it and say, you might not have as many resources or tangible things that they got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's not the real part of life that really counts. It's your relationships and can you wake up and see people. And I want to thank them because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a lot of people, they give Dan Gilbert a lot of grief.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I wanna like, the best parts of my life as a sports fan was because he delivered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, when his son was up there, I remember it like it was yesterday, like, you know, they took us through an arc, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was, you know, we had LeBron and we was winning 66 games and he left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Businesses went out of business, like, all of that. Like, people didn't go downtown. It was just like, that era was so dead when you talk about the Browns and the Guardians and the Cavs. But I will always remember, I was working in a call center, making calls for DirecTV. And I remember when they said, the Cavs got their pick again. The Cavs got their number one pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people went crazy because not because it was the number one pick. We was like, yo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We were so crazy that we knew LeBron was coming back that we needed that pick to even make it happen. And guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As far-fetched as it sounded, as far-fetched as it was, it was a storybook. Cause it happened.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just felt like you put him out there, we getting the number one pick, right? We about to get that pick. Look at this, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's crazy man, like the chances ain't so good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dan Gilbert's family has given me an opportunity and a lot of people just to rejoice. Cause I know I'm not the only one that say this. I cried so tough when the Cavs won the championship because I felt like it was insurmountable. There was no way LeBron should have even been there. There was no way we was beating the best team ever. And guess what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every day I look at it and I go watch that and I say, man, I appreciate Dan Gilbert's family for giving me the opportunities of sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, come on now. Like, you right here with the zips, the bobcats, maybe the flashes, y'all supposed to be operating at a top level.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Here's the problem. Here's the problem. At one point in time, I was old enough to remember hearing about the Clark Kellogg's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was old enough to remember Jim Jackson and what he was looking like down there. Heck, I was even here when I remember Bill O'Brien and I remember Thad Modder.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let me tell you something. Back when Thad Motto was here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know who was rocking the LeBron jerseys? You know who had a locker inside the locker room? One LeBron James. My problem with Ohio State is not that they didn't get Bronny James. My problem with Ohio State is they didn't slip so far. It wasn't even an option.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How you beat Ohio State? I saw LeBron James in a horseshoe and all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just looking around every time you get, now my thing is, look, you go back and watch Coach Prime. Coach Prime told seven, eight people at Colorado. Amen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I like you, but I'mma be honest with you, I got cats coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, sometimes, you know, when you, when you sub par, you don't want no light in your, your, your, your house. See, my mom always do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my mom always told me we ain't inviting everybody over because guess what? We ain't got enough for everybody and the house ain't clean up. Don't you invite nobody in this house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now listen, you can't invite, you can't invite Bronny James to your house at Ohio State. And the cupboard is bare. You ain't got the same type of amenities. Actually, to be truthful, what happened to the squad that got Greg Ogden? What happened to the Mike Conway?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Brad, here's my problem. Ohio State has unlimited


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys do a great job. The same way you getting receivers that just keep showing up is the same way you can keep getting guys for the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it a thing, and I'ma ask this, cause there's a group of college coaches who necessarily


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't want the pressures in the ills of one and dons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They want the guy that's two, three years, maybe some trans, but they don't want that spotlight on the program because if you're getting one and done, they expect, there's a certain, certain type of record that come with that. That's championships and at least that's what we want.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, I'm the greatest ever put shorts on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's going. It's going. Honestly, I think, I think the USC thing, the reason it happened is we stepped back a little bit. I don't think, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think LeBron James and his family can be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has a more of a normal life in LA. Like, in LA, you're just one of many stars. Like, oh, you're LeBron James' kid, so Carmelo's kid is here. So what? There's hundreds of kids. Some people's trust fund babies. Like, some people, like, yeaah, he's worth a billion dollars, but


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some people might be the family members of the guys that pay LeBron James checks. So they don't care none about that. I think he got a more of a, uh, uh, in Ohio and Columbus. I think that would be, that would be crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ayy, bro, this is crazy, bro. Ayy, man, you ain't gon' hold no, uh, you not gon' hold no intervention. Nah, he not gon' step in it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy time. This is on another level, bro. Listen, by the way, shout out to Bronnie James. Uh, you know, we'll see how his career go move. Where we going after this McNuggets? He done brought up Larsa Pippen. This is crazy. She's out here doing the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, they, because, you know, when you look at that, you know, you playing in that type of series, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just, I look at it and say, poof.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, it makes you rethink a lot of stuff, man. Like a lot of guys is quick to say a bunch of people was washed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and these teams out here and they, and you people forget that the Celtics, they ain't won nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, like, let's be clear, like, they, they had a nice trajectory, they got smart, they got Horford, they got Tatum, like, but they, they showing you in real time. What's they last chip, 2010 or something like that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dennis, like, he's there for a couple years with them same players, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was there two years. I thought it was just one. So Kyrie leave, right? So they retool a little bit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they get scary Terry, right? Terry Rose, then he, they still got this chord. They looking good. They got old, uh, what's his, the kid from, uh, used to play for the Hornets, uh, went to UConn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kimba Walker. Kimba Walker. They had him for a couple years. So you start to see like. Cardiac.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, they, you start to see that, uh, we got the, we got pieces, we got pieces, and then they got, hey Gordon, from, uh, uh, what's her name, Gordon? And,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It just shows you how hard it is to win a championship even if you think you got a core of somebody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ran up against Steph Curry then, lost. Now you run it up against Embiid. They seem to always be going against Philadelphia. And so there's a thing that I watch in these playoffs where, man, these veterans that we play, we like to say is washed up and done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they just, they continue to keep rolling on. They continue to keep rolling. I don't, you know, somebody gonna have to retire these dudes. And I don't see nobody doing it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I think, uh, I-Tivus, I like this one, this is hard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like the fact that Yoki did something hard like this, man. This is, I, I need about, I need about 7 or 8, 10 dudes that do that. And did you hear what he told him? He said, bro, you's a fan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get involved and you really be part of it. Play around in fire. You gonna get right. You part of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We just love our own stock. Just love our own inventory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look bro, watching these playoffs in these four teams, the takeaway is this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cavs are nowhere near. These boys are not in the realm of possibility. They're not beating any four of these teams. Listen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got Durant and Booker, they have no option for none of that. They got, they got option for AD or LeBron or Jokic or, or, or, or anybody. Like these four teams, we starting to see this is championship caliber basketball. So they got some nasty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, they got nastiness, shot, shotability, size, length, rebounding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So now I need you to break down why Nick Nurse got fired. Can we get that out? There's some inside stuff that, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, now, you know, I look at it like this. Would you take Tyler?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, ah, they, they gave him, they gave him his, his, his, his savant status too early. Like he didn't, like Doc and Orlando, come on, you got, you got, you ain't hear


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeah, that's kinda, but I will say this though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We had, we had, uh, uh, uh, uh, Joe Vardner, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Joe told me something today. I was on the radio this morning. And I was hot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He said, if you was listening, he told you that. I said, well, listen, his timetables was messed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you weren't ready to compete, he said they will compete whenever Mobley is ready to compete.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I said that, that can't be the, that's, you in trouble if that's the thought process. Cause you might not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's gonna take 3-4 years. And that's okay if it takes 3-4 years, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's two full years left, but we know how that works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So my thought process is, and I've been racking my brain, I've been looking at it, I've been in the hot tub time machine, I've been all on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just, just numbers, advocates, I'm looking like Russell Crowe in a beautiful mind. Just drawing, you know, good will hunting. I'm like, I don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't understand how and where and why and they can get better. I'm just looking at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless it's a slow roast, unless this, this is, I'm going to roast this in an oven for 200 degrees. You said you don't see how the calves can get. Yeah, I don't, I don't see how they can get to a level where they can compete with these other teams. I just, oh, they can. I think you could compete with the, with the, maybe, maybe the Hawks or you still got the, so you're saying like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think the best teams in the east, you got your Phillies, you got your Celtics, you got the Milwaukee Bucks, and the way I look at it is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those teams, the top teams to me have guys that, that any given, any given set.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could be in trouble. You, like, cause if it been big, go off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harden can go off, right? And then both of them playing while you're not winning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is that a possibility? In one summer?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody was looking at that. He said, Isaiah, I know Isaiah wanted something. I know Bird was going to come back. I wanted to come back with something. You've been in those summers where you have to develop and you already know I can handle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How difficult is it to make that sort of a leap in comfortable areas of your game in the summertime?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it didn't nobody step up for him. I always learn when nobody says, hold on, hold on, hold on. Like today, if something happened and they'd be like, you know what? I saw Tyves do this. I'm like, what was Tyves doing last night?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They like nah, he wasn't laughing, he was straight face. I saw him doing this. I'm like nah, that don't sound like time. That's not the time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you didn't hear nothing. They was like, Pocahontas? Yeah, that's Pocahontas. He'd be doing the most. And they got him up out of there quickly. So yeah, when that happens, obviously you got to sit back and say, do I want that type of smoke? Here's what I will say though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it is, it is amazing. Uh, we did talk to Joe about this as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's amazing how this dude LeBron is still playing at that level. That's unbelievable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did he do that I didn't do? Bro, I don't understand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] KG said, listen, you know what, Paul, you know what Paul Pierce hate Lebron, right? He was up there, he said, Paul, listen, listen, I can't even co-sign it no more. He the coldest. Listen, bro, he's 38, bro. He gets 30 at 38. He said, bro, it's a stop. That's a, that's a, that's crazy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the fact that, and I tell this to, uh, what's her name? I tell it to Jason Lloyd. They messed around and let LeBron feel like there was some hope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, there's certain guys in the league, like, you can't give Michael Jordan no hope. Michael Jordan feel like he don't even need hope. All he need is himself. Like, as long as I'm here, we got a shot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They let LeBron James sniff something. Like, they like, if they let, if they let them beat the Warriors, right, he gonna say, oh, I got stuff.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because, man, Rory Hotchamorrow looks like the second coming of Danny Granger or something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This dude, I said, wouldn't it? She's the, that's the LeBron James.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's that LeBron stuff. He got the Reeves dude out there. Now all of a sudden AD getting 20 and 30.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Trying to be like Tyler Hero. He gets, he gets guys from the pound. He gets a mix much in this little mix gang that little dogs be running around terrorizing the neighborhood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's old school. Showtime Lakers. Man, that's Marvin Gaye singing the national anthem with the huge aviators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it's $12.48, man, you know. And listen, I'm like, now, here's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The bulls went to that evolutionary step. So you gotta think about it. So after they have bread, they go out and you know, you get pipped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was a new guy, the wing guy, but then they started doing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well we see Magic at 6'7", 6'9", doing that, but we got a guy. So they start running a triangle, letting, letting Pip run a, like whatever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing? And then they went all the way, and when they got Tony Ku Coach...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I try to explain. There's innovators and there's imitators.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The innovators is always going to be three or four steps ahead. Ahead of the game. So, so when, when you sitting here just now getting it, they didn't already change. Like, you know, back then they got Kuh Coach, they got Kuh Coach and had Pippen. So they was already with guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like that play. That's just the way the game is different and evolved. So, you know, for me, and I say there's no way you can do it, but here's the thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's guys you can get. They got the marketing deal wasn't a huge deal from Chicago. They got him. Um, there's a couple of things that you could do with this roster, but I don't know if Kobe Altman is going to be an innovator or imitate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now if, if I've always thought about this, to me,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, you know, before we get to the final take, for me, I look at it just the way that you didn't get Evan Mobley what he was supposed to get. I would love to see Evan Mobley initiate offense. See, sometimes you got guards and they good at what they do, but it may take them saying at Evan,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You gonna initiate this offense at the elbow every time, so get ready. Cause we'll have the guards run up off you. Because I don't know if he's gonna be able to get the progression and the touches he needs if you got two ball dominant guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, you see, you know, I'm so crazy out here, man. You know, I was up late last night, uh, you know, just looking around, doing some research, man, and I just realized that as I looked across my timeline, man,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's so many crazy things that's happening in so many days. I mean, you know, you just see people running into people with cars and guys got automatic rifles, you know, shooting people at malls and everything, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I just, it's so crazy. It just sometimes don't even really make you want to talk about sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because sometimes when you talk about sports, it gives you a distraction. And some people say they want a distraction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But grown folks shouldn't want distraction. Grown folks should be about the business.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of trying to fix some of the crazy stuff that's going on. Not a distraction to put your head down. Your kids need a distraction. They need naps. They need juice. They need stories at bedtime because they don't have the wherewithal, the mental aptitude to understand certain things. But as adults, as grown individuals,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to stop asking for distractions and plug in and understand that we have an opportunity and we have a responsibility to change some of this stuff that's very changeable.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need to stop throwing our hands up and saying, I don't know what we're going to do. And we need to actually put that work in and get to a point where we can be real with one another. Because right now, distraction ain't what we need.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I gotta, I gotta do something with the chat here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Anthony Earl, I need you guys to monitor this. We're gonna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys could roast Tivus today. We're going to read some Tivus roasts. Yeah. Okay. So we got a, an interview backed out very last minute. So we have some time here at the end of the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. When I shave I can look like I'm 22. If that, I can look like I'm pushing 17.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, my dad, my parents got me a bike. A bike? A bike. Oh yeah. I've been asking for a bike for a while, bro. It's so nice in Cleveland. I'm trying to ride. You know what? I used to be a little, little bike riding through town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, it is time for Bull's Bed of the Day, though. If you want to make some money, you should be betting with Bull. Despite the fact he lost on Friday, he is still...

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Getting a run and a half, or giving a run and a half, excuse me, at Baltimore, the Diamondbacks also giving a run and a half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At Miami against the Marlins. And we are going to talk some Browns to start off today's show. And when we talk Browns, it is brought to us by our dear friends at Lincoln Electric. They are now hiring for great jobs. They are experts in the manufacturing and welding field. Check them out at Lincoln Electric. The question today, G, Tyvis and Brad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As it stands currently, Jerome Ford would be set to be RB2 for the Browns this year. Durability as a running back, Nick Chubb has been extremely derby throughout his career, but that's something you can't count on year in and year out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you guys feel comfortable if Jerome Ford was the backup to Nick Chubb for the 2023 season? Or do you think Andrew Barry and the Browns need to go out and explore the veteran free agent market, which is still filled with some pretty big names?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Zeke Elliott's out there, Kareem Hunt, Leonard Floyd, you got 163.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, I was talking to Steve looking for the graphic here. You got Mark Ingram out there. A few other names that are out in the market. These are the biggest four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you got Kareem Hunt Stassi that's like number 19 in the graphics. I said it was only between two. Zeke had 876 yards last year on 231 carries as opposed to Kareem Hunt who had, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And real quick, someone, someone just sent us a superset, said, uh, what about Jerrick McKinnon? He signed with the Chiefs. I'll take Jerrick McKinnon. He's not a free agent. He's not a free agent. He went back to the Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a super chat, then we're gonna move on, talk a little guardian. This is from Bobby G.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And deciding bonus, you can apply online at precast.com slash careers to learn more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bobby G says the running back room is going to be chubbed forward Kelly and Felton and I'm good with that. People always say we don't develop talent. Let's let these guys get a chance to develop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the seventh, it was the, so I was at the game yesterday. It was the quietest no-hitter ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't even realize, didn't even realize that there was a no hitter going until the twins got a hit and I looked up and was like holy crap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well the game was moving, so the game took like two hours and nine minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're not good yesterday. The Guardians had two runs in the first. They had three singles. They didn't score again the rest of the game. They had like three hits the rest of the game. It went so fast that Mike Polk said this to us when he was on and then we'll get back to the game in a sec. But because the one downside with the pitch clock is moments don't get a chance to breathe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And there are certain moments in a baseball game that you don't want to rush because you want to kind of feel what's happening. And I'm not saying this took away because it wasn't, didn't end up being a no hitter or anything, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The game moves so fast, I didn't even realize what I was witnessing, if that makes sense. Because in the second inning, he got out of a bases-loaded know-how jam. He walked two guys, hit a guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then no one else was on base, and it just never actually sunk in because the game was flying by boom boom boom boom boom. Which at the end of the day, I will take that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not knowing it's a no-hitter over a 3 hour and 52 minute 2-0 game every day of the week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A and B. Hold on, this is big news. Not only are they last in home runs in the league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have four fewer home runs than anyone else in the league now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have 18 as a team, the nationals who were below them up until this weekend now have 22. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a stat for you guys based on the home run, hitting abilities of the Rays and the Guardies. And this stat is brought to us by Lorraine Community College. Your classes, your future. Register now for summer and fall classes. You can learn more at LorraineCCC.edu.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The leader for the Guardians at home runs. There's three of them. Naylor, Ramirez, and Bell each have three.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many players on the raise do you think have more than three? So not same number, but four or more. How many raise?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the blessing. That's the blessing. The AL Central across the board is just not very good. You look at the standings across the league right now and you look at where the twins who were in first place in the AL Central would be in some of the other divisions. They'd be in fifth place in the AL East and third place in the AL West. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it may actually- okay nope, they have wild card.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got, I got a question for you guys real quick, and then we'll move on to, uh, some cap stuff here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Guardians year after year, and you know me, I moved here last year. I don't know the history of Cleveland, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've always had these elite pitchers come through the ranks. Guys they call up, no name guys who have turned into studs. Shane Bieber, another example of that. Mackenzie, Quantra, all these guys, hometown developed talent. Outside of Jose, who's the last like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big time, and not Quan, I'm talking like Powerbat. That they've actually developed on their own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We did get some sad news over the weekend, fellas. Uh, unfortunately, Nick Gilbert, the son of Cav's owner, Dan Gilbert, passed away after some medical complications with the disease he had been battling, neurofibromatosis, which essentially generated non-cancerous tumors on your, your skull, your spine and your back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's really sad news and it's always tough when you hear something like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And not to say it's positive, but you see all the tributes come out and the impact Nick made on a lot of lives here throughout Cleveland, especially in the sports community. Uh, as someone not as familiar with Cleveland as you guys are, and Brad, I know you work with the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well said. Well said. And we're gonna move on. We hope the Gilbert family heals from this. You know, in a...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, however they, however they need to process and deal with it, you know, give them the time and space they need and.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They will recover on the right side. It is officially noon though, which means this is an awkward transition to a call of greed, but it's one we, uh, we have to make the colleague lunch after the ultimate clean the sport show is sponsored by call of gracing the official NASCAR team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If anything comes up on Waze, the Gilbert family is looking to raise money for Nick or a charity or anything like that. We will let you guys know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it's a tough time in Cleveland because he did mean a lot to a lot of people. Uh, someone else who meant a lot to a lot of people, someone you just mentioned G won LeBron James. And over the weekend, his son, Bronnie committed to USC, not Ohio state.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, before we talk about that move, are we gonna blame Tyvis? Yes. For not securing him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, real quick. It is 12 15, which means it's time to remind everybody that the lunch I've built me Cleveland sports show is sponsored by Collin gracing the official NASCAR team of Northeast Ohio.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One interesting note on the Bronnie James to USC commitment is USC had already signed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The number one player in the entire class who's a point guard in Isaiah Cartier. Yeaah. So, Bronnie's going in as a top 20 kid. He's a five or four star depending on which recruiting rankings you look at. Going to team up in the back court with the number one overall recruit in the country. So, he may be off the ball a little more than it would have been in other situations. It'll be interesting to see how that affects his development.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will move on here. First though, I want to remind everybody that there are a couple membership tiers here on the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. For $1.99 a month, that makes you a starters tier member, and that gets you all the loyalty badges, custom emojis, and members only community posts. For $4.99 a month,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's your coach's tier. You get all those same starter tier perks plus daily overtime videos, member shout outs, discount codes and merch and much, much more. But you have some more things coming on the way. We had a meeting last week about membership tiers and perks and we're hopefully going to roll some of those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things out here in the near future. Uh, we're going to move on to the NBA playoffs guys. And we had two games yesterday. The Sixer Celtics was phenomenal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Sun's Nuggets game very good. Both those series tied up at 2-2. Nick's Heat 2-1 in favor of the Heat. And in the final series, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harden played out of his world and Bede got the gifts at the end, but Brad, we talked when you came in. That's about as good of a basketball game as you're going to see in today's day and age.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was a crazy game back and forth. Uh, PJ Tucker kind of saved the day with Brad say getting in and beats head and saying, Hey, pick it up. Pick up the MVP for a reason in the sun's nuggets game. That was a bang.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a good game. We're going to get to the game in a sec. I want to start with the controversy real quick. If you guys didn't see this, take tag board and play it. Jokic was, uh, he got technical for this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guy he pushed is actually the son's owner. Now to give you a little context, if you go to the next video, Anthony.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the full player here, full play. The son's owner who did play college basketball at Michigan State, which doesn't really make a difference here, was holding the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He kinda smacked it out of Jokic's hand, then Jokic gave him an elbow. Kinda flopped. We got two more alternative angles. Anthony, go to the next one. Uhm, this is the other angle in case you missed it. But, uh, this is essentially a breakdown of what happened here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Brad, I'm curious as someone who played in the NBA like that, and obviously not, you never pushed an owner and that never happens. See if we can drop the video here. But, what do you think about fans, and this guy's not a fanny, oh he's a fan but he's an owner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, and once again, I never played in the NBA. Will not pretend I was a very mediocre D3 Basso player, but I've been in enough locker rooms at some time, at some point.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The voice gets stale. And when you have a roster like Milwaukee's, and I know you're alluded to coach. That's true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They failed miserably with what their expectation was this season. Bud won a championship two years ago because Kevin Durant's toe was this much over the three point line and he should have been or would have been fired had they lost that series two years ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bud has his own style. He does not make adjustments. That is his style. That is his style. Go back to Atlanta. They do not make adjustments. He plays his way. It works in the regular season. It has had very little success in the postseason. Outside of the one year where Giannis went superhero, put a Superman cape on and brought a title to Milwaukee. Do I think Bud's a bad coach? Hell no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think his voice in that locker room with that core of players grew stale and you can't get rid of Giannis. You're paying Drew Holliday max money. Chris Middleton's making a ton of money. You can't change the roster, so what can you do? You can change the coach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It, it starts with Evan Mobley, like Mobley is the key. Mobley taking that giant step forward, which we thought it was going to happen between year one and year two. I think he took a baby step forward, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I'm just saying you asked how. Okay. He takes that step and becomes not just a talented player but a guy who's in the conversation as one of the, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 21 points, 11 rebounds, and he shoots 30%, 32% from three. Which is, which is plausible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching the NBA in today's day and age. How do you think your game would have translated to today's modern NBA?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, we'll go through final takes in a second today. Final takes are brought to us by the USFL family fun for everyone. Tickets are just 10 bucks. Check them out. They play games in Canton at USFL.com. And one last reminder that the lunch of the ultimate Cleveland sports show as always is sponsored


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My colleague racing the official NASCAR team of Northeast Ohio. And with that, Tyvis, you are five minutes away from $1.50. Five minutes away from making me regret ever betting against you. And can you make it through your final take to that lap? Challenge up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Facts. Uh, tomorrow is our one year anniversary show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One year in the books. A bunch of surprises for you guys coming up. Joe Thomas will be on with us. It should be fun. We will see y'all tomorrow to celebrate one year of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Help shape Trump's approach to life.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You use deception. You use intimidation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You use all of the tactics that you can find. It is a utterly transactional sense of the world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's in it for me is the kind of founding credo.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His father and everything he gleaned from those people could be directed at the closest people in his life, including his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well-intentioned but benighted commentary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you expect from people who inhabit environments where there aren't very many black people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the United States Senate has historically been a prime example of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've had a reality TV framing for the presidency. If you see the serial exits of people who


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I really had built significant careers only because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Humiliated in the course of it, in their interactions with Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Precisely because he has such a long track record in American politics, you can point to him being on the wrong side of questions that are now considered to be completely settled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was an opportunity for him to distinguish himself from Donald Trump.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That I actually want to bring the person who's criticized me most harshly into the fold because I value dissenting opinions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the fact that Trump had consistently talked to police and urged them to, uh, behave more aggressively.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who tells you he's gonna create jobs? He's lying to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like they were born from the same sperm. Donald and Ivana mimicked each other. You know, so they were like a ball of fire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was being raised by a father who was discriminating against African Americans in the very first apartments with the Trump name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was raised in this setting where the people of color and the black people that he saw were people who were working for him. It was his father's driver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needed to rely on his own political instincts to figure out how to move forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sitting on the corner of Pennsylvania and 17th Street.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where the hell are we? Ducky looks suspicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watching you eat, like genuinely, you know when you see someone, just do something they're really passionate about, like they're so passionate about, it makes you passionate about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I'm so used to caring about Korean food so much more than anyone around me that I've never felt like I need to care about it more, but now I do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I've learned anything from The Stripped LA, it's like, you just never know what to expect when it comes to food. Like when we popped up in this neighborhood, they were like, where are we going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, in the UK anyway, I believe, if I'm not wrong, the sandwich was invented. Yes, by Lord Sandwich. The Earl, I think it was the Earl of Sandwich.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I feel like I can speak on behalf of the UK saying a sandwich is like two flat bits of sliced bread and anything in between. So when like we did a video with Watcher and they were like hot chicken sandwiches.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other question I had, you made a lot of like gourmet fast food. Yes. Out of all the things you made, I guess what's the weirdest thing you've had to make? What's the best thing you've had to make? What's the worst?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Genuinely, if you guys haven't followed the Mythical Kitchen channel, you need to go check what they're doing out. Some of the most...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeah, man, I got wifi with me. I got ratchet roach with me. Yeah. Slim, T, you know, Paps, they just left, but you know, I got more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, nah, I actually purchased a motorcycle out here in LA, and I just got it, I recently got it out the shop, cause when I was riding one day, the shit fucking, the chain popped, so I just picked it up today and all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, I'm from Laudahill, Deepside, Florida. Born and raised. Pretty tough environment and shit, you feel me? Like, I seen a lot of shit. Murders, all type of shit, you feel me? Lost a little brother to suicide. Lost my best friend to a gun shootout.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was selling weed, then I started selling crack rock. Damn. I seen the output of the more money sells. Like, fuck it, I ain't gonna sell weed no more, I'm just gonna start selling dope.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Were you making good money? Yeah, hell yeah. I was like the youngest one on the block really liked getting money, so. And uh, who? Who?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I, you know, I wanna disclose them, but you know, I had, you know, I had a couple of, you know, OGs on my ear, which is why I carry myself the way I do, because I've been around that, uh, cloth, so it's like, that's why I'm able to, you know, move how I want to in these streets, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, really, uhm, my dad was murdered when I was three years old, but uhm, on my mom's side, I was really raised by my uncle. He was knee deep in the streets too, so he didn't really have time with me. So whenever I seen him, he'd just give me money and shit. So, you know, I just idolized him and, you know, really gravitated towards that because of him. So, yeah, selling drugs and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hell yeaah, actually he's the reason why I was able to quit. He told me just one day to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, at that time I was just flipping ounces and shit. You feel me? Knee deep in the streets. And he was just like, bro, you ain't got to do this shit no more.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He drastically changed my life. How'd you meet him? Uhm, I been knew him, like I used to go to underground shows with this, uh, one of my homies named Pills and shit. Like he used to do opening and I seen y'all say, I'm like damn, and I know the energy like was that crazy. But by the time X got out of jail, I didn't know how big he was because I was not focused on like the internet shit like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, you know, we linked up and then, you know, we just gravitated towards each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like uhm, basically uhm, one night I had went to a club with uhm, my boy Rez and I seen him in the back and he remembered me. He was like, Tink, come in. And I seen how packed it was. I'm like, what the fuck? Like, what the fuck going on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we exchanged numbers from there and then everyday I was just with him on a day to day basis, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That, like you said before, that warrior antique, like, you know, I was that nigga, I had my pistol wherever we went, like, for real, for real, and I wanted to protect him at all costs, you feel me? Like, that was just the case, it was just, just that formality, and then that grew into something, you know, bigger, brotherhood, you know, we just fell, fell, fell in love with each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, one thing he hated was, uh, stupidity. So like he at, in so little time, he just wanted to acquire like a lot of knowledge. You know, he was a very, very smart individual, talented way beyond his time. So, you know, that's what really he was gravitating towards, you know, just keeping that energy flowing as far as like the individuals he kept around him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was trying to try, light skin, you know, and the high top thing, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just got on volume 3, like, that song that I did, I was in the back, uh, that song, Butthole Girl, is based on the actual female, uh, so that's how I got on the tape. I didn't even know I was gonna be on the tape, I just went in the back of the booth, on the back of the tour bus, and just recorded something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, just a lot of mixed emotions, you know, a lot of miscommunication, that's all, but you know, we all are connected on, uh, as far as this universal connection, you know what I mean? We all share that universal connection, so I think that's what really, you know, keeps us together at all, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, it's just, uh, you know, a matter of miscommunication. You know, every family, big family, you know, dealing with so many multiple personalities, it's just, it's going to be that way. You know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, anybody. That's how it's supposed to be, you know what I mean? It's supposed to be Greek.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was in the light, like, honestly, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Around that time, like, X really, you know, uhm, he secluded himself away from, like, a lot of people. Not in the aspect of not, you know, reaching out to everybody, but, you know, just, uhm, being in the space mentally where, you know,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he, he could acquire, uh, things that he wanted to transpire to the universe, you know what I mean? So I felt like he was in a good place mentally, like I said, like, yeaah. And I, and I've seen the change in him. You, you can actually see the light in him. So, like I said, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was actually at the airport in Atlanta on my way back to Florida and I look on my phone and I'm like, damn, what the hell's going on? And I just see the shit and I'm just like, no way, no way, no way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just couldn't believe it, like, almost fainted, like, and then I got, when I landed, I'm like, this is not true. I shut my, I cut my phone off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Got off the plane, by the time I got off the plane and I was like, bruh, this shit can't be real, bruh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fuck me up bro. Fuck me up. It felt, it felt fake bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I actually was on my floor, way back to Florida that same day, like, so, it's just so, everybody was, like, on some weird shit, was out of town and shit, like, for real, ain't it? Yeah, for real, man. He picked me up from the airport and it was just crazy, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Skeet, he was on live when he, when Skeet was on live. Yeah, that was him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that went viral. I said, take that shit off. And I told him to take the video off of him in the car here. And actually, a lot of people took it down, like. So I want to say shout out to the internet for, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, cooperating with me, man. That shit was crazy, bro. I didn't want to see that shit. I was in full fledged demon mode. There was no telling what I was going to do that night and that week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That shit would have never happened, like, at the end of the day, like, but, you know, it gets to, it got to a point where he was just so humble about his, uh, status, like, he, he thought he was regular. Like, I'm like, you're not regular. He wanted to be regular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, like I said, like during like that time of him really changing, like I wasn't with him on a day to day basis. Like whenever he'll pop out to big events, you know, he'll call Tank, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was one of the most deadly years, too. In rap, like, y'all gotta protect yourselves out here, man. It was one of the most, we lost a lot of brothers last year, man. I ain't tryna have that. Yeah, gotta switch that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just wanted to give it to the whole world, but it's like, how can I give it to the whole world when the whole world is already saying that I'm giving it to them? You know what I mean? That type of shit. So it's like, I just felt naked, bro. I felt naked as fuck. Like, it just, that shit broke me, bro.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So many, so many, so much formalities of what transpired that day, man. It's just, it's just hard to wrap my hand around it. Like, it's just, it's still questions to this day, you know what I mean? Like, not even going into detail about it, because like I said, it's still an ongoing, uhm, situation, but it's like, it's just, you don't know, bro, we don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm stuck in the duality of both. And that's, that's, that's a hard place to be mentally. And a lot of people don't understand that right now. So this, by me, you know, expressing my artistry, I feel as if that's a scapegoat. You know what I mean? From all of that. And I'm able to build and really have revenge on, on the universe. You feel me? For what they did to my mans.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] God man, like, there's some sick people out there. Like, I'm, but I'm sicker though. You know what I mean? If I ever see a motherfucker that I see, like, cause I'm just that, I'm just that petty, like, if I see a motherfucker talking shit and I just, uh, I got a mental note of who they is and if I see them in the streets, like, I'm gonna give it to they ass. Like, that's no cow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those are the one dimensional people who really didn't, you know, get the operaton, batteries, one dimensional, one dimensional individuals that really, um, you know, didn't, that didn't give him, give him the opportunity to, they didn't see the op, they didn't get, they didn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was very, he was a very, very inspiring individual.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he showed me that creativity is endless and no matter how you express yourself, as long as you're expressing yourself in the manner that you feel


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're comfortable with so you can transgress it to your core and that's what I built off of. You know what I mean? You know what I mean? Different formality as far as how I transgress it because we come from two different elements. I'm really from the streets. I come from that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's what y'all gotta realize and I'm seeing people on the internet saying it's, oh, he wasn't there. Y'all know shit, man. He done flew his mama to Dubai, all type of shit. Y'all ass, green as hell. Y'all don't know shit. He love his mama. Nobody, he got Cleo cross his chest. You hear me Cleopatra?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Gas. You smoking like prison style still? Nah, I smoke a little joint, yeah. Nah, I get high, you know. Oh, okay. You know, but I don't, I can go without it, you know what I mean? Yeah. I be so level headed. I be that, I'm the level headed dude. What do you think that X's fans and like the people out there, what do you think they think about you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, they used to fear me at first, but you know, I, you know, I started tweaking the internet, you know, and showing another side of me, you know what I mean?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess I got that intimidating look to me, you know what I mean? But at the end of the day, like, a lot of them gravitated towards me, you know, and a lot of them, you know, appreciated my artistry off the core that I had already built for my foundation, you know what I mean? So, I'm just glad, you know, they're starting to, you know, gravitate towards me in a positive light.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tronzz is being Tronzz, man, 18 years, you know, years young, yea. A lot of clout, you know, quote, quote, you know, he's doing his thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would say it came along very well. That's all I'ma say. It came along very well. It shows, you know, a diversity of uh, of artistry amongst, you know, my brothers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the day, you know what I mean? So, I mean, it's a good tape. One of the few songs I was on is getting a lot of good feedback, so I'm very, very grateful for that shit, so. You ever talk to labels and shit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just like that new kid at school, like, they know I'm cool but they're just trying to fill me out cause they like, they know about me. They all know about me. All of them. They know about 10 kids.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On my way getting my motorcycle, my mixtape dropped. It was supposed to have been dropped, but I guess TuneCore was backed up because so many people were trying to release music at.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's crazy. Yeaah sir, that boy Roach going crazy. Yeah, Roach going crazy right here.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My paycheck yesterday was $214. And it's already gone. Because I had to get everything I needed. Plus I had a bill I had to pay and I literally have $20 left to my name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being a single mom, it's hard. I mean, I can't, I mean, there's days I'm like, how am I even going to pay my electric bill? You know, if I could feed my kids without having assistance, you best bet you I would, but I can't, you know, especially when I'm doing everything alone. Thank God I own my house, or I wouldn't be able to make it, period. I mean, there's no way I could afford rent right now. I don't know how people do it. No insurance on my home that I don't have.

[Assistant] There is no way I could pay for extra schooling for that child. Not even tutoring. I have received extra food stamps because of COVID.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, that stimulus, that paid half my bills. But now it's getting down to the nitty gritty again. I get disconnects every month. I just got a disconnect on my electric today. Get a disconnect, you either pay it or it gets shut off. That ain't getting paid right now. This is our new normal.

[Assistant] I'm Kaia and I am 14 years old. And I live with my sister and my mom. I would say we were a poor family because we really don't have a lot of money at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we couldn't afford it, so we had to move out. So we've just been living with people. We're just in one room and it's three of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're homeless because we're not financially stable and my mom's just been struggling because she's a single parent and it's really harder than people think. Prior to losing her house, she just couldn't afford it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we didn't have enough money to pay for the storage unit, so they auctioned our stuff out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

It's the guarantee and if they believe that you would they would have got locked it in right. The guarantee money is what is troublesome for them. They don't like the guarantees. Where's the NBA? The guarantee is just a guarantee. That's it. Everybody's comfortable with it.

The people who live in the suburbs are paying for a majority of this stuff because that's where the population base is. It's in the burbs. It's not in the city, right? Exactly. So the folks out there got something they have a voice and I just say this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Put it on the table, because they still keep running away from


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well here, cause you gotta, just be here. This is a logical town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And people here can make logical decisions about things. So to your point, it's about this. You lay the facts out here for me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then it goes where it goes, right? Don't try to steer me in a way. Yeah. And don't play games, right? Because you're scared to ask the question and no mistruths and half truth. What do you want? And at this point, it seems like they want to move out of cleave. I still may end up in a position where is a line what you're thinking, but you're trying to shame me in a way. Don't shame me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, they're not, they're not going to do that because I wouldn't discount that Brad. They're not going to let me tell you why they're not going to do that because the city clean me fools a lot of happen. I'm this. I'm just going to be honest with you, right?

[Assistant] There's no way you renovate in that stadium and the Browns playing it. Not a chance not for being out of renovation. You're wasting your money. You're foolish, right? Yeah. So and they know that there's only two ways to go here, right? Either you play out of town.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a while, but you'll sink every business downtown. Every hotel restaurant business will be something here, right? Everybody's water to the vision will be will be something because there is another option. I say, so the other option is the other option is at the same time you're playing at Brown Stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You build another stadium somewhere else at the same time and you still keep that money here locally, right? That's what I think. That's what I, that's where I think they want to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, let me, we're not in that here and I can appreciate the mayor's position, but I'm gonna tell you what, let me give you the skinny or the game. The game is the game, right? Right. I was in a city that took that position before, right?

[Assistant] Doesn't end well. Go ask the Sonics people what's happening in Seattle. How much they missed their revenue in the winter time from October.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It took a bunch of people down. The whole city council got cleared out. The whole mayoral staff got cleared out. It was cute standing at that podium talking about what I'm not gonna do. What you not, oh, what you not gonna do.


[User] Please transcribe this text
