Chapter 1: What is Greg Cote's Top 5 Marches segment?

89.132 - 92.058 Dan Le Batard

But then we started the show. I heard the countdown. And so we never got to it.

92.799 - 100.887 Chris Cote

Well, I had mentioned that in the ball section, one of the five, spoiler alert, was sports balls.

101.248 - 114.081 Dan Le Batard

Do you want to tell people what the ball segment of your podcast is? I know that your narcissism is such that you think that everything you know is something everyone else knows and everything you say is something that everyone else has heard.

114.141 - 139.648 Chris Cote

Yeah, on my podcast, it's a March Madness celebration in which we don't talk about college basketball at all. But I have my Mount Gregmore, which is a top five, a final five in the categories marches, brackets, baskets and balls. And in the balls section, unavoidably, one of the top five was sports balls, just sports balls in general. And so Christopher asked me, what's your favorite sports ball?

140.048 - 157.072 Chris Cote

And I mentioned that for many years of my life, it was a tennis ball because I played a lot of tennis. I love tennis. I was pretty good at it, I thought. And then I casually mentioned that you and I used to play. But I couldn't remember how often we played. Like I said, we used to play regularly.

157.452 - 162.914 Chris Cote

I know we played several times, but I couldn't remember whether it was how periodic it was or anything like that. So

163.534 - 171.941 Chris Cote

And he claims, even though Dan has how many years younger? He claims you guys were even. That it was like, if you played 50 times, you won 25 and 25.

172.401 - 186.033 Dan Le Batard

I would say that's actually pretty close to true. But keep in mind, I believe that I have this right when I say he had played tennis before and I had not. I was playing tennis for the first time in my life. It's not something I'd ever taken up.

186.113 - 186.313

Yeah.

Chapter 2: How did Greg Cote and Dan Le Batard's tennis rivalry unfold?

2014.87 - 2045.59 Dan Le Batard

OK, but you guys think just I mean. I understand what is happening in the entirety of the content space, not just sports, but documentaries and people's lack of use for independent freedom, not former player. The idea that Charles Barkley is critical of you and your coverage and that the response is make sure that when we're in front of each other, you might be ready to fight. That's a new thing.

0

2046.211 - 2064.863 Dan Le Batard

Like, that's not how we've done that before when the media is talking about the games and the criticism is going back and forth between two entities. In this case, we're going to work together next year if Charles decides that he wants to be there with these people. And it can all be wrestling. But I'm just curious if you guys care at all that it all becomes wrestling.

2064.963 - 2083.997 Mike

That's Perk being Perk. Perk goes at people like that all the time, and I don't actually think they have to work together. It seems like they're licensing TNT's coverage, right? So they get to operate in their silo. They don't actually ever have to interface with ESPN's NBA team, which history tells us will change again.

0

2085.058 - 2105.533 Mike

It's cute for Perkins to get involved in there, and I understand where he's coming from and defending himself, but I'm old enough to remember NBA finals that John Barry was a key analyst for it. You know, like Jalen, Antonio Davis, they come and go. And, you know, it's very transient over there. And if they actually have an anchor in TNT's coverage, I would...

2106.678 - 2112.361 Mike

I would try to ingratiate myself over to that. Otherwise, you may end up looking like Lance Stevenson going up against LeBron.

2112.661 - 2126.427 Chris Cote

I also wouldn't assume genuine anger on either side. I think when these guys see each other, they're going to shake hands. They're going to have a little giggle. Hey, this was all a bit. You're a good guy. Clap each other on the back and move on. I don't think that they're really that angry.

2126.587 - 2143.394 Dan Le Batard

But the thing that I'm asking you about, all of you, is back when we were the young, different thing... We were doing the bit to everybody because they were doing the serious thing. Now everyone's good with bit?

2144.395 - 2152.32 Dan Le Batard

Like, we're good with what sports... We're asking this? I'm asking it. I'm doing bit now. I'm asking... I am actively doing bit.

2152.76 - 2183.551 Dan Le Batard

I am asking... You know what? I'm going to hold on a second. I've asked enough times for you guys to stop explaining the show here that... Major penalty, five minutes, ruining comedy. I don't need to hear anyone's actively doing bit ever again from anyone on this show. That's weird. that two major media figures would go back and forth with beef is something I enjoy as content.
