[Assistant] It's not, it's not reducing games. That's not the, that's not gonna solve anything. I've talked to people in the league about this. Like, you reduce it from 82 to 72, okay, well you're still gonna sit 10 or 12. You're still gonna sit 10 or 12 games. It doesn't matter what number, the games don't matter when half the league makes the playoffs. It doesn't matter how many games you're playing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's reducing the amount of teams that make the postseason is what's going to make these guys play hard in November, December, January, February, and March.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't say only, I think that played a role. I don't think that's the only reason why. But, I told you last week, I thought he was Berlin Bird. Like, he's in my... Damn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this ring will mean more to Jokic than it will to Murray in terms of legacy. Like, you know, if you're gonna be an all-time great, you gotta have a ring. Dems the rules. Especially in the NBA. You think Jokic cares? No.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. Jimmy did a, Butler did a sit down with, uh, NBA TV.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Greg, can you put to rest once and for all the debate over the slot and how comfortable you are there if you're, if you're okay playing there. There was the tweet where it made it seem like you didn't want to play there, then you said you're okay with it. Where are you with this and where do you expect to be on the field in September?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just to be clear though, so you were not held at gunpoint, is that accurate?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is Miles, is Miles coming down? Cause I put my money on Miles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why did you have, why was this important to you? Why did you want to do this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if you've had to cover all those guys yet. Who's been the toughest cover for you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the league is about to get his attention because Adam Silver said they weren't going to announce the suspension during the finals they want to take, but that's over now. So I would imagine any day now we're going to hear.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know if it'll be the whole year, but I think it'll probably be half. I think it'll at least be half. Maybe, maybe it's the whole year. I, I don't know. But probably at least half.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this, this isn't a first defense type thing. Like they, the league has tried to give them the benefit of the doubt once and it didn't work. So for that reason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, I just had an email about that. Let's see if I can find it real quick. I don't know how...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this, Denver, all their pieces, I believe, are coming back. Oh, this is sustainable. They're young. This ain't old. I don't know how you could have anyone older than Denver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He could, he could play his game for a while.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not often you send Stephen A scrambling, but he was scrambling. They got him on that one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because Kyrie is a perfect fit next to Lebron. We've seen it. We've seen how well their games fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could get a year out of him. You could get a year out of him where he will be on his best behavior for one year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think you, I think you have a better chance of beating Denver with Kyrie than you do Chris at the stage of their careers. And I like Chris Paul. I like him, but it's not going to work. But it's true. Like when, when Chris was up for defensive player of the year all those years, guys around the league did not like him. They did not like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, he does, but again, you don't care if he's hurt in December. You don't care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It depends on which day you ask him. Those two are kind of all over the place. And I think now that they've been apart for a few years, the relationship's probably better. When they were together every day. I think, yeaah. They both wanted to struggle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they like him. Now, I think that last year he was here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was a much different team and I think there were a lot of guys on that team that didn't particularly enjoy playing with LeBron because it's a very specific style. Right. And if you can, if you can make a set three point shot from the corner, he's going to make you a lot of money in your career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, the Lakers had some great games. They had some terrific games in this postseason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The back and forth. I thought there was, now Denver plays a fun style. Yes, totally agree. But some of those Lakers, Grizzlies games were terrific. Who else did they play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Lakers players love Magic. Yes. Yes. Like Byron Scott love Magic. All those guys. It's, it's just that, but Magic always had a smile on his face. He was always hugging everyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I don't know, but Michael wasn't very well liked. No, Michael wasn't. And I'm not sure Kobe was very well liked. No!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gil, we have a mutual acquaintance, uh, Dave McMenamin. I know someone from your past who helped you with your blog on NBA.com is a good friend of mine. We covered the Cavs together for four years when LeBron returned and I texted Dave this morning and said you were coming on. He said to ask you about what you knew was going on behind the scenes in LA when they were trying to get Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's why David Stern rejected the deal because they were afraid that the Lakers would open up two max slots then after the trades and go get top free agents.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So then gang, now we've registered the service worker with the browser, that's the first step done. The next step is that the browser then emits an install event automatically while the service worker is being installed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So we can listen to that install event inside the service worker and then we can do something when that happens. And that's what we're going to do now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay then, so currently we're registering this service worker right here, forward slash SW dot JS. And that service worker sits in the root of our project directory, giving it the scope of the entire project.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we register this from app.js, but what we want to do now is listen for when the install event occurs, i.e. when the service worker gets installed to the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we do that from the service worker file itself and we do it by adding an event listener to the service worker to listen for that install event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An event listener to that and we want to listen to the install event. Now when this occurs, it's going to fire a callback function and this callback function takes as a parameter an event object, which represents the install event.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now because there's only one parameter, I'm going to get rid of these dudes because we don't need the parentheses with just one parameter. And then inside all I'm going to do for now is console.log and we'll say service worker has been installed. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So all we are doing is listening for this install event on the service worker and then firing a callback function when this occurs. So let me save this now and head over to the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now we can see, first of all, service worker registered. That's from app.js that we do this and we say service worker registered. But also now we see service worker has been installed as well. So we can see that the service worker has been installed. We can see one right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now what happens if we just refresh the page?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we get Service Worker registered, but we don't see Service Worker installed again. And remember, that's because a Service Worker is already installed to the browser. It's not changed since the last time that we loaded the page, so therefore it doesn't get reinstalled. It doesn't need to be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, if we change this file, and all I'm gonna do is take away that comment at the top, then save it and head back over to the browser, then we can see that the service worker has been installed again. Because the file has changed, it needs to be reinstalled to the browser. That makes sense, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if we go over to the application tab, we can see that it's not yet active. It's waiting to activate. Okay, so like I said, when a service worker is installed, it doesn't automatically activate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It remains in waiting until we close down all of the tabs and then reopen the application. So it's installed, but it's not yet active. So we have our service worker being registered by app.js now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then when that happens, the service worker is installed and we listen for that install event and react to it, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what else would we want to do inside this function right here? Because at the minute all we're doing is logging this to the console. Why would we use this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we could use it later to add assets to the cache.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that a user can still see those assets in offline mode and those assets would be common assets to the site.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things that don't change much, like the main CSS file or the logo or the index page, that kind of thing. And we'll talk much more about the cache and offline mode later on and fill this out then. For now, I want to move on to the next part of the service worker lifecycle, which is when the service worker is actually activated in the browser.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah man, shout out to Eric Amarola got the victory on Saturday. I thought he was going to sweep the weekend to be totally honest with you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, he's a hell of a road course driver. We got something with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's pretty good too. True X is damn good. Chase Elliott has proven to be a pretty good road course driver himself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was just two starts ago to where Shane Bieber had his worst start probably of his career. I think he gave up like 12 hits. Got pounded by the Orioles. Got pounded. And so since then, you know, when you're that dude, Jay, when you're considered one of the game's greats, when you're an ace,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's something internally that you have that's a little bit different from everybody else. And you can just see.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was chopping at the bit to get back out there. You know, he talked about it after his last start, that he was ready for that start.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After the worst start of his career and then you come out versus the Astros, seven pitches into the first inning, he's in the dugout already. Yep. And that was significant to me because if you, uh, look at what two or three games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Guardians was down 4-1-5-1 early. You know, they were struggling to get out, get out the, uh, first inning early. So to see him have early command like that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To see him like seven pitches, boom. I'm in a dugout. He was painting the outside corner all game long.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bieber still has it. Bieber is still that guy. And I think that he can maintain it. And you know, I'm gonna take it a step further as we...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As we continue this argument and I'm glad I'm here talking to you about this. I told G this Saturday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thursday when J-Ram hit those three home runs. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it set the tone. I think it changed the energy. When your best player sets the tone like that, the rest of the troops are galvanized.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're feeding off that energy. You come back Friday and this team never led.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But they, they kept clawing back. They kept staying, hanging in there. And then you beat the, the Defended World Champs, uh, in 14 innings, the way that they did. Saturday was what Saturday was. But then Sunday was a statement. A 5-0 shutout statement. I truly believe now, the Guardians have turned the corner for real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I guess that brings the conversation for a circle. We're talking about Shane Bieber still having his stuff. Shane Bieber still being that. He's only got three losses and we're in June. Right. Still being that lights out ace. And then you combine that with, with, uh, Jose Ramirez did Thursday and with those two guys pretty much being the face of your organization. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That type of performance from both of them, it galvanizes the troops and it gives them a boost of energy that they definitely need it. You look at the game Friday, what's his name, Christian Javier?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think before that game, the Guardians had only scored one earned run against him, I think in his career. That was a crazy stat. So you're looking at Shane Bieber pitching the way that he's pitching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] J Ram got his back going and I think collectively you see it trickling down to everybody else. Everybody's starting to collect hits. The bullpen was a little better, you know, because the bullpen blew Shane Bieber's last star versus Boston.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will say this, shout out to the Cleveland Guardians concession staff because they've become more efficient. You know, we talk about the gang speeding up and not being able to enjoy the ballpark experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They are really efficient, they're very courteous, they're very nice people, they get you in, they get you out, get you back to your seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I went and got my famous blueberry beer. I love that blueberry beer. Oh nice, nice. At Progressive Field. Yeaah. I was in and out of the line in less than 10 minutes, so. Good, good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but, you know, Friday and I think Sunday, and it's crazy he brought that up. His pitcher was getting beat up on, on Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Javier was, he started to lose it in the fifth, he left him in the game. The pitcher, Sunday, was getting beat up early. And Dusty just left him in the game. So Jay, do they like have a weak bullpen where their bullpen is still worn out from Friday?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, today is June 12th, right? Yep. Today, the Cleveland Guardians record is two games greater, is two days, two games better than it was on this day last year. No. Yea, last year we were 29, we were 29 or something. We're 31 and 34 right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This year than we was last year despite everything that happened Jay. Shout out to the Toronto Blue Jays.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For coming back yesterday putting us one and a half back up in Minnesota. You're right. We have to keep our eyes on our own paper. We have to look at our situation and not the total landscape of Major League Baseball. You're right. We play in a weak division. We're probably the best team in a weak division and, and looking at how everything plays out, we talked about this last week.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me or you don't trust Minnesota starting pitching to stay, you know, pitching at the pace that they're at right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're gonna come up down to reality. We know who the Cleveland Guardians are. And so I think that the confidence is being built up right now. We're gonna go out, possibly win our division. And when you have


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shane Bieber, Tristan McKenzie, you have a chance in every single game. You're right. And then when you look at the young guys like Bybee and Logan Allen,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're going to continue to progress as the season goes along. I just think it's the perfect storm for us all to kind of like collectively relax.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exhale and just let this thing play itself out because it's looking better than it did to me last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with Jay on that because we all know come, you know, play off baseball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long ball is king, right? It helps. Yeah, it helps. When you have pitchers like Tristan McKenzie and Shane Bieber,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I kinda trust them guys more because veteran hitters like the Yankees hitters, they're going to scout these young pitchers that we have and probably light them up. But if I got a Shane Bieber and a Tristan McKenzie, I trust their stuff and I trust the experience a little bit more come to playoffs when I know


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The long ball is more of an impact on the outcome of a game than it is right now today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just believe it, and when it comes to Shane Bieber, this is not an addition based on subtraction, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not going to make us better now and I'm not worried about the future. I'm trying to go win a World Series right now. So I want to win now. Like you have to keep him on his roster. If he continues to pitch this way, his value is going to go up and it's probably going to be some move out there that might spark your interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But you have to consider, okay, where this team was last season versus where this team is this season. And with Shane Bieber, to your point, your chances of winning the World Series is greater than it is without him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree, and like I hear you G, but you made the correlations to the Cavs, right? Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The cast had a great regular season. We've seen a 71 point game. We've seen Jared Allen in certain spots do his thing. We've seen Garland drop 50. You know what I mean? Like we've seen all these young guys who didn't have playoff experience.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of fold and choke when the playoffs came.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not saying Logan Dallas, uh, and Tanner Bibe won't be great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Long term, but based off what I just seen with the Cleveland Cavaliers, give me my veterans that I know is going to show up and show out. So I can't, I can't trade Shane. I just can't do it. I can't either. We just went through a season here in the city where we seen it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, but read the room though. Like, gee, read the room though. This is not, this would be his third contract if he was to get a new contract, right? So the Guardians paid him once. He's been in this organization long enough to know how business is done here. He's seen guys like Francisco Lindor come and go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's seen other guys that could have been star players come and go in this organization. To me, you see Corey Kluber come and go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've been around long enough to read the writing on the wall, right? So I wouldn't be going home and my feelings worried about the guardians won't pay me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They nuggets helped me out, Jay helped me out, G helped me out. For me, this NBA finals reminds me of the 2001 finals with the Sixers and the Lakers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is how I see it. So both series coming into we knew who the better team was. The Lakers was the better team, just like in this series Denver is the better team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're bigger, stronger, faster, more skilled, the whole nine, right? And you've seen Eric Sposter, just like Larry Brown was a great coach, to be able to dig in there and find a way to win one game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think that's, I think we all thought that's all Miami had in them. And the only reason why they would get one game in this series is not because of Jimmy Butler, but more so because of Eric Sposter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Beast might come back and get you. And to your point, you know, Denver, this is their first ever NBA Finals. Right. So you don't want excitement and anxiousness to take over from you being able to go out there and handle your business. That building's gonna be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think they can stop Murray from being a facilitator? Cause I think if he's not scoring, he's chilling them by being a playmaker as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've been together for a long time. They've built this chemistry for a long time. They've experienced adversity. They went through all of that. And I think that they've worked hard to get to this point to capture this championship. I don't see no scenario that Miami will stop them from accomplishing that goal tonight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why I go at it so I can let my fans know to go tune in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, pretty much. Second time in LA? Yeah, second time in LA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, you can't make sense, you just gotta go off the top, just be dumb with it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, it be, it be crazy cause I get a lot of people and they be like, oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not making no sense, you're not funny, but it's like you don't understand what I'm saying. If you sit down, like maybe I be going too fast sometimes, but if you sit down and really understand what I'm saying, then you know why all these other people laughing. Bitch, this shit really fucking funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One time I was a kid and I roasted like these three guys. It was uhm, I roasted three guys at one time, but I roasted it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I remixed a 50 Cent song on Miniman. Damn, forgot how that shit go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, mani man, mani mani mani mani man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, pretty much. Nah, nah, not each other's mothers, I don't know about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With roasting it comes to a point where it's like, aight, you gotta know what line to cross and what line not to cross. Like I'm not finna go say and crack on somebody's father or anything like that cause you don't know if somebody's father's dead or alive. So it's like, you just gotta leave it to that person. So I never like bring outside people into it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't gonna lie, in the beginning of the fight, me and the dude, I square off with the dude when the thorn blows.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we squirt off again, like we like battled up from each other. We squirt off again. Dude hit me. Bah, he rocked me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I wanted to send like stars for like 10 seconds, so I had to like, like, catch myself, make shit like it's real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh fuck, nah, boy, it's too many cameras on, I gotta get right. I can't be playing out here, I'm trippin'.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like if I drop and like, it's like my whole career is over, like dude, you can't roast nobody no more. You got knocked the fuck out on camera. So it's like, nah, I gotta get right. I can't do that shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I ain't gonna lie, I seen a dude run up on you in here with a gun. Don't let somebody play in here right now, so the guys gonna go down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I ain't gonna lie, I had an event, well not an event, but I had a moment where a dude put the gun out on me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'll make the story short. So I'm chillin' in the hood, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next thing you know, like these dudes, they not from our, they not from our hood, they from like, see I'm from Pompano, they was from Deerfield. So I guess my homeboys, ain't like that they was in the neighborhood, so they jumped them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took the keys out of their car, fucked their ignition up. But I suggest they'll have to find a way to like, to fix the key back. Cause I ain't attending that car like these boys ain't do nothing wrong, so y'all like tripping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I helped him crank the car back, I was like, man, this boy trippin' y'all boys, just go back to y'all hood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next thing you know, these dudes double back, spin the block.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I'm walking, like, I'm by my house now, I'm walking to the corner store, come with my dog, that's when I used to smoke, I was going to get rough and shit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I see like a familiar car, so I'm like, man, who the fuck this nigga is, man? And I go to the car, I'm like, oh, what happenin'? So, the boy like, what's up? And they're like, where the dudes at? I'm like, I don't know. But they wasn't lookin' crazy, so I'm like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up, bro? Y'all scraped? They're like, nah, you scraped?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I like, you don't scrape, fuck you mean you scrape? Then cuz say, know what I'm saying, lips up, pulls out, uh, AR 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn bro, what you got that for? You gon' shoot me? I just wanna like, start it. I'm like, what the fuck? Like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now I ain't took out runnin', bros just drove off. And then I like, fuck it. I just kept walkin', I'm like, fuck that. Every single day I'm like, bitch, it's gon' go down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Carl, Carl kinda like Travis Scott for real. For real. A$AP Rocky with them fat ass boobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But nah, in the hood, like, I done seen some girls like, literally like, boom, boom, boom, throw blows like niggas.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, so first thing first, I started like this, this thing, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always used to rank people, like, in school and shit, like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't get me wrong, people used to rank me first cause I had like a chip too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So uhm, so uhm, I taught myself how to rank. So it's just like, I was ranking so much and I was doing it so much, I turned into like a class clown. So like, I'm in class like cracking on bitches and shit. I was about to get kicked out of school and everything like for doing this shit. I should be skipping, just going around janking people and shit, just fucking around. Then like, I started doing it on social media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It got a buzz, and then when I wasn't doing that, I wasn't doing some shit, cause uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You jumped my daddy, well, I just pull up on random people, jump out, and act like I'm about to fight them. Hey, you that nigga that jumped my daddy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like people like shit they pants. I got a gun pulled out over me one time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and that shit like just caught a buzz. I had got shoutouts from like Kodak, XSX, uhm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, it was like one day I was on Instagram and my shit notification wouldn't stop.

[Assistant] You see how you see a lot of girls spread on their edges to make you look full.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You ain't just spreading, but I'ma get you the brown cause I know you probably don't want black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, it's like once somebody show me love, I always show love back. Like you can never lie. You gotta remember who showed you love first.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like you never know, you might go back to that point in time when you at your low.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that same person that showed you love will keep showing you love, but it's like, if you don't show love back, it's like, fuck you, you didn't show me love last time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The head of the village told me that the nuclear plant was in trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to take her somewhere safe. That's all I could think about.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to leave it to them. I waited and prayed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, lot to get to today. Yes. Uh, a gut punch last night in the Guardians game. Absolute gut punch. These games are worth two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so instead of being two and a half out there, four and a half out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, you're not alone. You're not alone. And uhm, that was the strength last year. We always talked about how that's the most difficult.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. It was horrible. It's tough. It really was tough. Big win for the twins, tough one for the guardians. Also, we're gonna talk about game one of the NBA finals. Yon Fest. I mean, absolute snoozer. It pretty much played out how I thought it would. It was never really a game. I think Miami got it to single digits. Nope. Briefly in the fourth quarter, they got to within nine. Ten. Look, they got to within nine. No, I always track those.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was 11-0 run. They got it to 9 early in the fourth. I could be wrong. Check the game log. Irrelevant because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, go out. Go home. And I think this, I think that's going to be the way of the series. I mean, I don't want to kick dirt on Miami too soon because we thought they were all dead when they blew a 3-0 lead and it was 3-3 and they came back and won game seven on the road. But we'll get to that. Also, this is a fascinating conversation. I'm glad you guys put this on the list today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two things on Myles Garrett. One, is he a Hall of Famer? If you walk from the game right now, is he a Hall of Famer? It's a discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and, and we would love to hear your thoughts on that. If Miles Garrett left right now, let us know. Is he going to the Hall of Famous? Numbers are tremendous, but does he have to do it longer? And also, I love this question.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this year setting up to be the biggest of his professional career?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think with the help that he's got now and Jim Schwartz in, I think that's a very fair and legitimate question. We'll dive into that. Before we get into the meat of our show today, and I want to spend a lot of time on this, but I think it's, I particularly because of my relationship with Jim Donovan,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what he's meant to me in my career. I just wanted to take a little bit of time to uh, to talk briefly about his situation. I'm sure by now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Most of Cleveland sports fans have heard that Jimmy is...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't want to say he's battling his cancer again because I'll be perfectly honest, I think Jimmy has been battling this since his original diagnosis decades ago. Uhm, he has done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a very stealth-like way. He does not like attention. He doesn't talk about himself. He feels uncomfortable talking about himself. And I think Jimmy, for the most part, has been ongoing with his treatments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but recently, uhm, he's learned that he's back in the throes of the fight of leukemia. He's been getting regular chemotherapy treatments and he woke up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, as valiant as it's been for him to try to hide it and just to try to manage this himself, he realized he wasn't going to be able to do that. He wanted to get ahead of it. He shaved his head.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jimmy is, and I'm not saying this now because he's sick again. I have said this throughout the time I've known Jim Donovan, both as a person and as a sportscaster. Jimmy is quite simply the best local sportscaster I have ever seen. I've worked in some major markets. I worked 17 years at ESPN.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What Jimmy does is mind bog, mind bogging, mind boggling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the way he does it, you'll know this because you've been a sports anchor before McNuggets, uh, typically sportscasters write out everything they're going to say. He doesn't write anything, right? He's never used a script.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will sit down in his chair and he will know what his elements are. I've got three and a half minutes to navigate. Guardian's highlights, a scoreboard, a sound bite.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe a Cavs highlight, a scoreboard, a highlight, and then a few other items.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the reason it's written is because you've gotta strip 3 minutes, 3.30, whatever it is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have to hit that time, particularly because Jimmy's the last element in the show. After the sportscast, goodbye, evening news is next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So producers and directors love that all that is perfectly scripted out to the world because you can time how long the show


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I've done that at a few stations that I worked at. I had a director in Columbus and Tampa that were tremendous. And they understood that I'd like to ad lib and I liked to freelance. But to be perfectly honest with you, my going that route was because I found out Jim did it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I was, and I've talked about this on the show, I've told Jimmy this, I still have the VHS tapes. When I was a freshman at Bowling Green,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all through my time at Bowling Green when Jim Donovan was here just starting as the sports director at Channel 3.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My parents would set up the VCR so it would record for 15 minutes from 6.15 to 6.30 and 11.15 to 11.30 every Monday through Friday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When the tape got full, they would drop it in the mail and send it to me, and I would watch back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All of Jim Donovan's sportscasts, because even as a young 18 year old who knew he wanted to do this for a living, I knew there was something special about this guy. I didn't know what, I just loved his passion, his energy, his spontaneity. It wasn't until later I learned that none of that was scripted.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's the most remarkable thing I've ever seen in this business. Now we, we freelance this show, obviously. You're not gonna write a two hour show. Everything we do here is unscripted. But I can honestly say, of all of the things that I've been able to accomplish in my career,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's abs- even though Jimmy didn't know me until much later, my first day on Cold Pizza, Jim Donovan, was a guest. Oh really? Because my first day when we launched Cold Pizza, October 20, uh, 2003,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LeBron James was making his NBA debut, the same time I was debuting at ESPN.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we needed a Cleveland guest to talk about LeBron's first game in Sacramento.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they came to me knowing I'm the Cleveland guy and they go, who you got? And I said, this is easy. Jim Donovan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he didn't even know that, well, I take that back. We had met, we watched the 97 Rose Bowl, Ohio State and Arizona State, on the sidelines together. I followed him around like a puppy dog. It was the first time I'd ever met him. I introduced myself to him and I said, I hope you don't mind, but I just,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, and he was gracious, he answered all my questions, and years later...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After I started at ESPN, I had him on as a guest, and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I knew he was doing the 11 o'clock sportscast the night before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we were on the air at 7am, which means he had to be back here at the studio to do a satellite hit for the show which was anchored in New York.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he said, yeah, no problem, I'll do it. He graciously came in, he did it. That's when our relationship really began, although we met at the Rose Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jimmy didn't know it, but once I found out that he was, that he ad-libbed everything,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought, he's the best I've ever seen. For me to be that good, I've got to learn how to do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I taught myself, just as he did, to do sports casts without writing scripts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was absolutely, he was the impetus for that. Uhm, I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As, as I did that and mastered that, it was crazy how my career took off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I learned I'm not reading now like everybody else. Now I'm telling stories. I'm a storyteller.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that's another skill set that very few play-by-play men, because he's really two-in-one. He's the best local studio sports anchor I've ever seen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also happens to be the best radio play-by-play guy I've ever listened to. I've listened to all of them. In the NFL or just in sports in general? In the NFL. Now, here's the thing about what you just touched on. There is the unwritten rule when your state-sponsored media


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That you're not going to be too critical of the team. You're an employee of the team. You're one of us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are guys, Michael K in New York with the Yankees is a guy that if they suck, he's gonna say they suck. And if they want to fire him for it,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He'll fall on the sword and he'll go, yeaah. But there's very few net, local guys, radio guys that feel, now Michael K is a TV play-by-play guy, but there's very few local guys paid by the teams that have the skill set to throw darts at the team when they deserve it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But do it in a way where the team officials can't even be mad because he's telling the truth. Right. Jim never lets his emotions get the best of him. We have our Monday chats every Monday, and I'll say, oh my god, this, that, and the other. Jim always puts it into perspective. This was a bad matchup from jump. Yeah. You know, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna, we're gonna beat teams that are better than the team we just lost to, but this was a bad matchup, and he tells you why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So when Jim does his on-field recap immediately after every game that goes on to Channel 3's digital site and does tens of thousands of hits every Monday. I watch it every Monday. Everybody does. It's a mandatory appointment watch on Monday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim tells it the way it is. That's why he's as popular as he is. He's always fair. He always gives it to the fan straight. If, if the team was bad, Jimmy doesn't sugarcoat it. He doesn't hide it. He says they were bad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way he sees it in that moment. So he's accomplished so much in his career. Early in his career, when he first started here, this station was actually owned by NBC. It was an owned and operated affiliate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jim used to do national NFL games.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For NBC. So he would have an assignment every Sunday. Oftentimes it was the Browns because he knew the team so well. But imagine that tricky spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The national voice of a game between the Browns and it oftentimes wasn't the Browns and the Bengals because those games were going to their number one crew, which was usually, I think, uh, Cricky and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Big Enberg. Enberg. Trumpy. Those guys used to do the big games. But Jim would get, sometimes he'd get like a Cleveland.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, uh, San Francisco game or whatever. And he always managed it just fine. No one in San Francisco would know that this guy was the local guy for Cleveland because he was fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But and he also did olympic assignments for NBC. So he's done so much in his career. It's incredible and


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't even like talking about it like he's done because he's not. I know Jim's not. It hasn't stopped him before. It hasn't stopped him before. It will not stop him this time. He will work through this as much as he possibly can. The hope is he'll go through this round of treatments and he'll be back as strong as ever. Jimmy has been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, I don't know this. I feel a little odd saying this, but I don't think there's a broadcaster. Forget sportscaster. I don't know that there is a broadcaster.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's been, uhm, he's been loyal to this city and to this station. He's meant a lot to our area. Jimmy, we love you. We're behind you. And I know that in a very short period of time, we're going to see Jimmy doing it just as energetically and as passionately as he always has. Uhm, he's, he's definitely going to beat this thing and move on forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, again, Jimmy, get well. I know he's going to work some through this and we'll be seeing him, but, uh, I know he's going to have this, uh, beat in no time and he's got a whole lot of people behind him. It's been great for me to watch just through social, how much support he's getting from the viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's the most popular broadcaster that this city currently has, and I think you'd be really hard pressed to say he's not the most popular broadcaster this city has ever known. And that's saying something, because we have a lot of successful and very popular broadcasters that have been through here, but I think Jimmy for me is at the very top of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, wanted to take a little time to do that. Let's transition and go to the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mentioned that there's two questions here. Is he a Hall of Famer if he retires right now? And is this year setting up to be the best of his pro career? McNuggets, you can start. What do you think about the Hall of Fame question?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what a gajillion is, but I co-sign everything you just said. Thank you. So, are we gonna get any dissension here at all? G. Bush, if we're going to, it's gonna come from you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He heard himself with his comments at the end of the season, towards the end of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I would say that not only is he on a trajectory for the Hall of Fame, because I think he clearly is, I think he's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's on a trajectory to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. And I also think he's on a trajectory to be, when he's all said and done, listed in the names of the greats that we just put out there. I think when it's all said and done, he has a chance to be top five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's certainly going to be top 10. Here's my knock on Miles Garrett. And I almost feel like I'm looking at the beautifully, uh, restored car and I'm pointing out the nick and the paint on the underbody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the slight blemish on the seat. Because other than that, it's so picture perfect beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are blemishes and the blemishes are the one dimensional, he tends to be one dimensional.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, he does need to do something else at an elite level. Whether that's knocking down passes. I think he's, his strips, his strip sacks and his fumbles. I think he's getting elite in that area. He's been getting better as his career, uh, career is progressing. Here's my biggest knock on him. There are still too many times


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I have to check, is he in the game? Is he playing right now? I haven't seen anything from 95. And when I watch, particularly the two guys in the game right now that really jump off at me, when TJ Watt is on the field, you know it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Every member of the other team knows it and every fan watching the game knows he's on the field. He doesn't tend to have these lapses, these stretches of a quarter and a half or two quarters where he's at least making his presence felt. And sometimes when you look at the stat sheet after a game, you're like, wow, Miles didn't play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No tackles, no sacks, no TFF, nothing. You know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just need a Hall of Fame player to constantly be a


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to get G's comments on the, uh, PFF rush grade, the rush defense grade. If you could throw that back up again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure, when you're geared to get after the quarterback, guys are gonna run by you, but should that G. Bush be higher than where it is?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So even before the ball snapped, he's kind of in plus territory because he's double teamed or chipped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not sure what, it was Micah Parsons, you know, he's another guy that I look at that I never have, he's never invisible to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When Mike is on the field, when TJ is on the field, Aaron Donald was, I think Aaron Donald has set the new bar.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so those are, TJ's significantly better. Micah, who is more of a pass rusher, I guess, but he's still 73, 5 points higher.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Interesting. Okay, let's do an ad read quick and then we'll ask if this is setting up to be Myles Garrett's most successful season. Anthony?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, uhm, is this year, this coming season, setting up to be the best ever for Miles Garrett? Jay, you wanna start? You want me to start?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, we're having too much agreement here this morning.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When you look at the layout of how this season is shaping up before we even get into the schedule. Stefanski's on the hot seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Berry's on the hot seat. Facts. There are players in this organization that are very much on this, on the hot seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This either comes together and works or the 2024 Browns, in my view, will look dramatically different. Dramatically different.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Deshaun Watson, lot of him, lot of pressure on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He has got to return to the Houston Texans Forum that had him in the MVP conversation. Thanks. So because all of these things are within the next two years or the next three years or the next five years, it's this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that there's gonna be a different feeling in July when these guys come back full force, ready to get ready for the season. It's gonna feel different in Berea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not gonna be a loosey-goosey, you know, warehouse money kind of deal. It's gonna be, guys, it's time to put up or shut up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because this is it. For this group, for this core, we gotta do it now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because everybody's getting long in the tooth. The contracts are getting a little uncomfortable when it comes to the salary cap. So the pressure for them to do it is probably as high now as it's been at any time in the last decade. Even after they came back when Baker took them into playoffs the year before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's even more than that because they're coming off two disappointing seasons in a row. And Kevin Stefanski needs his genius credentials checked. You know, he was coach of the year in his first year. It has not gone as planned the last two. Three in a row is a problem. It usually costs a coach a job. So all of that being said, the table is set. But then I'm going to go off what you said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't. It's now pick your poison with this club. Last year teams were like they have no one on their defensive front that scares us. No one not wearing the jersey number 95.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So they put all of their resources into stopping 95 and he still had a Pro Bowl season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All pro. All pro. So now what you're looking at is you bring in all of these reinforcement troops to bring in waves of fresh legs on the defensive front. To your point, you want to double team them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna learn to live with the consequences from the other guys. If you decide you're gonna try to handle them on a single team, it better be an all pro lineman, uh, offensive lineman that handles them. Damn straight. Because that's what it's gonna take to keep him down. All of that being said, wouldn't be surprised at all if he had at least 20 sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think, I think it's in the cards where he could break the all-time single season sack record, which would be 23 sacks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To do that, but with the added game, the 17 game schedule now, it's a little more than a sack of game. I think it's doable for him. I think that there's no reason at all to believe why he couldn't be in the defensive player of the year running.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if all that happens, I think we're talking about an 11 and 6, a 12 and 5, and a triple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're putting your opponent down more than a score in the second half,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know that either one's gonna happen. I just, barring an injury, which you can never predict, 95's leading the Browns and Saks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I don't think there's, I don't think there's no chance at all anyone on the Browns gets more sacks than Myles Garrett if Myles Garrett plays the bulk of the games. You agree with that, G?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Like those are built for inline.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got that inline straight speed but he's got the agility of a pure athlete. That's crazy. And there's nothing more beautiful to me than when he comes wide around the edge and you see that bend in full display and I love the still shots because often times in video it happens too fast to appreciate it but when you see a still picture.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His body is about two, six inches off the ground. And you're asking yourself, how was he able to support that weight?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To turn that corner without losing his feet and the answer is go look at his workout videos, his freakish workout videos.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I think so. I mean, that's two good ones to have on your resume. A lot of natural ability in both. Obviously, but you can miss coach that, you know, that's not always a home run. Okay, uhm, you have another read before we move on?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I thought it would be way, way higher than that. I felt like yes, this is the, this is his best chance yet. I mean, he's got


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was there that day. You know, it was, you know, you could feel the electricity in the air.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know. I see that. I see that. That's how you know you've got good coworkers when you willingly spend time with them away from work. Facts. You guys certainly do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I know he is. I, I just don't know enough about it right now. I don't know if this was Shannon saying, I'm done with this or if this was Fox saying, this isn't going to work. Can we show the clip from the day that the two of them got it? It's, it's common. I was gonna ask you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I don't even see Twitter enough to see like daily clips, but whenever either first take or undisputed


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Something goes off the rails. I'm usually texted that clip by tons of coworkers. A lot of my former coworkers are still at first take and a lot of my former coworkers followed Skip the Fox. So I, I hear from and get these things on a regular basis. Uhm, the day that they had the dust up,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About the Demar Hamlin, uh, topic, I said, uh-oh, there's a divorce coming.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because it crossed the line of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, this is for show. This is a television show. It got personal. And it got real personal. And I was there in between Skip and Jalen Rose in one instance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And Chris Carter in another instance and it never ends well. It almost always ends in divorce because it gets personal and then there's hatred involved. The one thing I can tell you that is absolutely a fact when Skip and Stephen A worked together for all the years they worked together, there was a mutual respect. It never got personal. It got heated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It got heated a lot and a lot of people thought things were done or said that crossed the line, but they weren't there in the commercial break that as soon as we dipped commercial, Skip and Stephen A both reached their hands across the table and said that was a good segment, no hard feeling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Those two had that unbelievable gear where they both had big egos, you have to to be in that position, but they could also check their ego with one another.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You got thrown out of the arena. Uh, we have the clip by the way. Anthony, you want to play the clip? Okay, so if you haven't seen it, this was the day that for me, this relationship, this partnership was, was doomed for this ending.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I've been, I've been in that same spot where you're, you're watching this thing go down and it's like in real time and slow motion, you're watching a train come off the tracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uhm, I'm not gonna pick a side on that. I would only say this. When Skip picks a side, you ain't moving him. He's not budging. He will never say, I'm sorry. He will never say, I'm wrong.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He will never retract something that he said. I've never seen him do it. In all the years I worked with him, I've never seen him do that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well and to add to that, let's just take a look at the personality type that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, let him go, let him walk, but a lot of the social stuff I read,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shannon's got a lot of people that are in his corner on this. And I will say, uhm, and I love Skip Bayless with everything I have. He's a tremendous human being.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one area I wish, and you know, look, I'm not in the business of changing people, but if I could, if I could wish one change upon him, it would be that he pay a higher respect


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To the athletes that have done it at that level. When things went south with Jalen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What precipitated all of that was he asked Jalen, well, what did you ever win?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One up him by saying, well, you never won a championship. And he did the same thing to Chris Carter. And Chris was like, I'm done with this cat. I'll never work with this cat again.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and it was pretty much both ways, like, after the Jalen thing, there was a band that was like, well, Jalen's not coming on the set. Now the next day, there was a cleanup show, I used to call them. So we got a cleanup on aisle six. And you said, well, actually, I don't know if you could say that. There was a meeting, a long meeting, before the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you don't, if you haven't seen it, you can YouTube it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jalen basically, after Skip gave the dig, what have you won? Jalen said, if we're going to play that game,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He needed a control alt delete. Give me that 20 second timeout coach. Yes. The next day, didn't he come out and like try to justify. So what happened was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The show was in a transitionary period where it was becoming all debated. First take used to be, you know, we would have Michael, we'd interview Michael, or Magic Johnson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then we'd do a segment on the upcoming Monday Night Football game. And then we would do a debate segment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we'll be back at the debate, uh, set at 1145. And when we come back, we're gonna debate X, Y, and Z. But then we would go back into the variety coverage. We would, you know, have guests, A-list guests, and we would do everything in the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jalen made some other attacks on Skip. He said, you know, you said that you idolized pistol Pete Maravich. You were water pistol Pete. Well, you know, Skip can throw stones, but when you throw them back, you better duck because he's coming napalm, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The gloves are off. And so what happened was, we got through the show, it was incredibly awkward. Incredibly awkward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The next day there was this huge pre-show meeting where Skip felt like he had been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Denigrated and we were gonna spend, I still can't believe we did this. And I was, I voiced my disapproval of it. I didn't want to do it. But I was told, no, this is how it's gonna go. Skip wants to explain what happened his senior year in high school.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No one cares. No one cares about that. I mean, that wasn't even where the debate came off the rails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So we're gonna, we're gonna address the elephant in the room, which wasn't Skip disrespecting a, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Accomplished professional basketball player by asking him what he won.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A platform to explain why he didn't start his senior year. And Skip was passionate about this man. He told me, I feel strongly about this, Jay. The coach's son was on the team and he didn't like me because I was better than him and in a summer tournament,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Our audience cared zero about that and I felt like that was one of the times where I felt we lost the ball.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fox was dangling seven million a year or whatever the number was then in front of him to come.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I don't, I never blamed Skip for that. Skip, that was a smart business move. Skip is one of the smartest, most hardworking guys I've ever worked with, I've ever seen in television. He is committed to his craft like no one I've ever seen. Stephen A is right there with him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what, what astounded me with Skip and Stephen A was there was never any beef. There was never anything where I felt like I was gonna have to stand up and push the two aside. It was real.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Skip was a good high school basketball player, although his stats clearly didn't show it. He was, Skip was a good player. Uh, Stephen A was a very good player who played collegiate college. Yep. But what happens is there's, there's, there's levels to this. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it goes higher than that though. But then there's, you got NFL guys that had cups of coffee. Then you got NFL guys that had nice careers. Then you got NFL guys that had Hall of Fame careers. And with Chris Carter, when I, when the Chris Carter thing happened and it came off the rails.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, I was kind of shocked that Skip completely dismissed his playing career by saying, what did you ever


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're not gonna sit there and say, well yeaah, you're right, I never won anything, but I played for 17 years and, you know, made millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars during it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So it was, I just wish Skip would never go there. We had a fascinating show after that, after the Chris Carter show. I think Robert Smith might have been a part of that. It was kind of a panel discussion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did you have to play the game at a high level to be able to analyze it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the pros will tell you what Jim Mora famously said in a post game interview rant. All of the media, he said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think you know, but you don't, and you never will.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what he was saying there was, it's one thing to sit up in the press box where there's no fire coming at you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's another thing to do it at a high level for a very long time. There is a level of understanding that I believe you have had to have played the game for a long time before you can throw all the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I could back down to that too, like I wish Skip just would have said, you know what, Jalen, I'm going to defer to you on this because you've done it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, you know, but Skip is adamant. He thinks he knows the game better than any coach, player, or general manager because he's watched it and studied it for his entire life. And he does know a lot about it. But I just think there's another level that you, to reach that next level,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I don't know. And if they are in cover two, then this player's responsibility is X and this one's Y. And, but even then, there was an example this year where Tyvis on the, uhm, Jets onside kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why he's not here anymore. But you're right. Tyva said, I mean, there's only one way to play an onside kick and it's this way. And the fact that they didn't, but then later in the season, they missed another onside kick and he really did some digging with special teams coaches. He's like, no, that's kind of how it was coached. That's how they move him. Okay. Well now, now we know, but the PFF grades, they don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there are so much, there's so much nuance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so much going on. There's a reason we put professional athletes in the booth as analysts. There's a reason for that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are 32 teams in the NFL. There are 32 NFL radio teams. 31 of them have a former player as the analyst. Who doesn't? The Browns. When you watch a game on television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's always a former player in the color analyst role. They just have a better understanding of the game. And I just, I always thought that as much as I love Skip and as much as I've admired him and as much as his, you know, he's the greatest to ever do it in my opinion.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just wish that he would have been a little more reverential, a little more respectful to the former players that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Skip may have tweeted something yesterday where he said, I'm not gonna comment on this right now. So really the question mark is,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Was this precipitated by Skip going to Fox executives saying, I can't do the show with him anymore?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or was this Shannon going to Fox officials and saying,
