9:22
Mm-hmm.
9:22
But now you can basically do whatever you want because you are the one d- back there determining whether you're gonna challenge these calls or not.
9:28
You still don't want to show them up because there's a lot of calls that aren't challenged.
9:31
You're not challenging, uh, uh, like, the first pitch in at bat or something like that.
9:34
I haven't seen anything like that yet.
9:36
So you still don't want to show them up.
9:37
It's gonna be interesting, the catcher-ump relationship on how many times they get challenged in a game.

30 MINS LATER

39:32
Yeah.
81:58
Mike Evans now a part of the 49ers offense, crazy to think about the opportunities and expectations.
82:04
Yeah, when we were talking about it, we said if you're gonna leave a place that you've been so long and you have so much history, you're probably gonna go somewhere that's established that should be a contender.
82:12
And you obviously look at the teams, you look at the quarterbacks.
82:14
So you have Brock Purdy, you got a great play caller and head coach with Kyle Shanahan.
82:18
This is a team that can get there, that can get over the hump.
82:21
And we talked about with DeVonta Adams, the difference he made with the Rams and Matt Stafford.
82:25
All, I don't know how many one-yard touchdowns he had last year.

35 MINS LATER

117:53
You think they don't wanna waste time
7:53
It was, it was a wonderful electricity that was radiating through town.
7:56
A lot of electricity.
7:57
You mentioned since 2020, obviously getting, uh, getting Caitlin Clark here, the fever too, that was...
8:02
Uh, that played a huge part.
8:03
They'll be hosting the, uh, WNBA All-Star Game.
8:05
But this run, this playoff run, not only just the finals, just this run in general, uh, especially all the plays that Tyrese made, um, all the comebacks, all the buzzer beaters, and then taking this dominant Thunder team to a game seven.
8:17
Obviously, we didn't get it done, uh, we meaning, you know, Indiana, the Pacers fans-
8:29
Yes.
11:59
It's spectacular.
12:00
And you guys were there in the building.
12:01
You could feel their energy even watching it through the TV, like watching it through the TV, hearing the chants, hearing the crowd regardless of what the score was.
12:08
The crowd was fully in it.
12:09
You heard the, even the, the chants for Thomas, and obviously he's a, he's a Hoosier as well, but you talk about this state just being a basketball state in general.
12:17
So, for them to be in the Finals for the first time and they have a real chance to win it, I forget who it was that was on here talking about, you know, the teams and the makeup of the Pacers and how they play.
12:26
And with their pace, like, they can run you to the ground and they almost generate another superstar with those extra 20, 30 points that they just get in pace moving out.

38 MINS LATER

50:26
That's right.
speaker_6UNKNOWN
11:22
Yeah.
11:22
You know, so you know, with UConn, UConn, uh, Big East champions of baseball as well.
11:27
But, uh, kind of got back to themselves, so, um, we'll see if they can kind of get fully to form.
11:32
Still haven't seen Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown kind of have performances that we're used to.
11:37
Big time in the playoffs, so now it's really nut cutting time.
11:39
Starting tonight once again, see if they get another win to kind of get it back to square one, two-two against the Celtics, but an absolute battle out there.
11:47
Also on Saturday, uh, Minnesota.
speaker_7UNKNOWN
12:07
He did, man.
41:27
(laughs) I know.
41:28
And then you talk about, uh, you know, Cam Wart's, uh, journey.
41:31
Like, his journey was wild too, you know, to be one of the top graded players in the country coming out of high school, uh, following Coach Prime to Jackson State, talking about changing the space around you.
41:40
He completely changed, uh, Jackson State and I think kind of FCS and HBCU, uh, football, the eyes he brought to that, um, program, and then going to Colorado, doing the same thing, winning the Heisman in Colorado.
41:50
(laughs) And then, you know, going number two overall in the NFL draft.
41:54
And then now, you know, the movie's obviously still being written, but if he can actually be a full time two-way player in the NFL, and doesn't sound like Jimmy Gladstone is gonna hold him back from, uh-

20 MINS LATER

61:36
Mm-hmm.
61:36
It was about the prospect.
40:17
What would the slight differences be, in your eyes, from WWE's WrestleMania and the NFL's Super Bowl from the last couple years that we have experienced?
40:26
I think the biggest difference is, uh, with Super Bowl football in general, it's, it's more domestic.
40:30
It's more, uh, you know, American, I guess.
40:33
WWE, like, I was flying...
40:35
I didn't get a chance to fly with you boys.
40:36
I flew up from Philly, and it was people from all over the world on that plane.
40:39
People, all different, you know, different people, different creeds with different backgrounds, different age groups.

52 MINS LATER

speaker_61UNKNOWN
92:31
(laughs)
16:59
Oh, yeah.
16:59
All guys living up to the billing.
17:01
But, uh, Derek Stingley Jr., he, he's just, he's a little different.
17:04
Even as talented as that LSU 2019 team was, a lot of people that you talk to in that building around that program said that this is the guy.
17:13
This is probably the best guy on the roster, and he's lived up to it.
17:16
Outside of injuries that kinda plagued him, uh, throughout his college career and in early on his NFL career, but he's been healthy, and he hit his stride last year, being a first team all-pro.
17:25
Uh, five interceptions.
18:20
Happy St. Paddy's Day.
