1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Boom Shaka Lacay, as the great Brian Wheeler used to say,

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: it's our numb burtwo our number two ready for you.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: And we start out with the life and times of

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: Lebron James. Where you at on the Fearsome Foursome supposedly

5
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: pursuing Lebron James. Also, why did Lebron refuse to speak

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: about his situation on camera at the Las Vegas Summer

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: League And the Mavericks are shutting down Cooper Flag for

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: the remainder of the NBA Summer League, ending his rookie

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: stint at just two games. He's not hurt. They're just

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 1: shutting him down. How do you react to that news?

11
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: We will give you our take on it right now here.

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: It is our number two. As Lebron's world turns. I know,

13
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what hear about Lebronvellia.

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: We talk about the stories that are the stories of

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: the day.

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 1: Welcome in the beginning of another hour of the Ben

17
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Malord Show.

18
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: We are in.

19
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: The air everywhere preaching to the choir as we are

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: telling it like it is while the rest of our

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: industry is fast asleep.

22
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: They're not hanging out with us.

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: Coast to coast, border, the border and beyond on the

24
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: vast end, unreasonably powerful microphones of fs are ammunating live

25
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: from the abyss, deep deep in the abyss of audio

26
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: fun as approved by the late night drug tester who

27
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: knows a thing or two about that, and this portion

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: of the Ben Maler Show on Fox made possible by

29
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:54,360

Speaker 1: The Way Tire Buying Show be so our lead. This

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: hour is from the Lebron Files, not to be confused

36
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: with some other kind of files, but no, this is

37
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: all about Lebron and we are contractually obligated, as it

38
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: turns out, for an obligatory Malard monologue, much to the

39
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: approval of Eugene in Chicago, who is anticipating this spicy

40
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: margarita edition of a Malard monologue on Lebron, James and

41
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: his life in times. Here's some new developments over the weekend.

42
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: New developments, new developments, new developments. While we were away

43
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: from the Watchtower guarding the overnight graveyard of sports takes,

44
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: there were some new things that took place here. So

45
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: if you didn't follow along, don't worry. That's what we're

46
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: here for. We got you back. We kept tabs on

47
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: what was going on so you would not have to.

48
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: So chatter over the weekend, little chit chat over the

49
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 1: weekend that indicated that there are a four pack, four

50
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: pack of teams that are attempting to acquire Lebron James. No,

51
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: those teams are in no formal order, the Dallas mav Rex,

52
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors, the Cleveland Cadavers, and the Clippers supposedly,

53
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: so that story came out though those teams have emerged

54
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: as possible suitors.

55
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: For Lebron James. That happened over the weekend.

56
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Now, those four teams, if you believe the chatter, if

57
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: you believe the Internet chatter, those four teams contacted Lebron's

58
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: conciliary right his buddy there, Rich Paul, who is that

59
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: If you want to talk to the mob boss, you

60
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: got to go through the Consigli area and.

61
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: That would be Rich Paul.

62
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: And that is where we are right now, So let

63
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the panel, the blue ribbon panel.

64
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Where are you at on the Fearsome Foursome pursuing Lebron James.

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: All right, so I've got Vintage Cookie Jar, Dali Lama

66
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia Original, and we will combine all of these

67
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: things together and we are gonna make the Gobaul.

68
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna make the Goabba goal for our friend in Florida.

69
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: So number I said number right, Yes, Now we provide

70
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: a skeptical eye for the regular guy. Now I even

71
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: have buyfocals on, so I have extra skepticism is what

72
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: I have on here.

73
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: But this is not.

74
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: The Lebron sweep Steaks. It was presented as the Lebron Sweepstakes.

75
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't buy that that narrative. I'm not going there.

76
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: It's more like the Lebron flea Market. Now, you can

77
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: find a nice thing every now and again at the

78
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: flea market, and that's what this is. It's the Lebron

79
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: James flea market. And it's like, what's what's going on?

80
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 3: Then?

81
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: What's on the table at the flea market? You're like,

82
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: do I want that kind of fade a little bit?

83
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure about that. Uh, And it was like,

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: this is not the shiny new toy. We're not We're

85
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: not auctioning off the shiny new toy. This is Lebron

86
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: James at this point is a vintage cookie jar. It's cracked,

87
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: a little bit faded now, it still has some value.

88
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: There's still some value there. And if you squint hard

89
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: enough at the vintage cookie jar and you look at

90
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: it and you ignore the fact that.

91
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 2: The cookies inside turns stale.

92
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Right around the time they got that little Mickey Mouse

93
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: bubble ring that doesn't really count back at Disney World,

94
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: like a nice little souvenir there.

95
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 2: Yay, you get a ring, not a real one. Not

96
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 2: a real one. As we learned from the Oklahoma City

97
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: thunder Guard. Not everyone.

98
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: So Lebron James the greatest player of his generation, not

99
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: the greatest of all time, as he tripped Michael Jordan

100
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: and others. He's also across the rubicon the dreaded four.

101
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: He's in the dreaded forties age range at this particular point,

102
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Lebron James. And so you put it all together, and

103
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: while he still can put up numbers for you, and

104
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: the kind of a numbers that if you work over

105
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: at ESPN, right, you think Lebron's like the Dalai Lama.

106
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: You do it.

107
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: You're treating like the Dalai Lama and all that, and

108
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: you can't wait to hear what he has to say

109
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: about every ething thing.

110
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: You gotta get to the bottom of Lebron James, all right.

111
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: So the impact is measured now more in a moment's

112
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: rather than months of greatness. There's individual moments on a

113
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: given night. Lebron can put up some big numbers and

114
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: all that stuff, but it's it's one of those buyer

115
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: beware situations for anyone that does business with Lebron James.

116
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 2: It is a buyer beware situation because that.

117
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: Cookie jar, remember we told you Lebron is like the

118
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: flea market vintage cookie jar Lebron. It looks okay from

119
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: a distance on it shelf, You're like, that's not that bad,

120
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: and I could buy that. It's a couple of bucks.

121
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: I got to pay cash, no credit card. It's a

122
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: couple of bucks. And the lids chipped again though a

123
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: little bit. And you look at it and the basis

124
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: you get a little closer to see a little crack

125
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: there on the base of it and it really only

126
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: opens when it wants to, and so that's not particularly

127
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: great and all that stuff, and the four teams that

128
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: are supposedly in on this. It's a nostalgia play. It

129
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: would be a nostalgia play for Lebron, and that's what you're.

130
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: Going for at this particular point, and sell some stuff.

131
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: You become in the conversation. You're always in the conversation. Now,

132
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: Lebron's camp is trying really hard to control the narrative.

133
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: They are working over time to try to control the

134
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: stories about Lebron. And they know how the offseason NBA

135
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 1: world works and so they they're the experts on all that.

136
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: So Rich Paul is the one feeding the pipeline.

137
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: He's the one out there and our opinion, Rich Paul's

138
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the one that is the puppet master directing everything here

139
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: in terms of media consumption on preferred destinations for Lebron,

140
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: James now in order a home cooking with the Cadavers, right,

141
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: go back to Ohio for a third time, win one

142
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: more championship with the Cavaliers, fade to Black Boom done right,

143
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: And of course that would be like Lebron going back

144
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: to Cleveland for a third time. It's like they're the

145
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: ex girlfriend that keeps texting, hey.

146
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: You up at the three in the morning or whatever.

147
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but.

148
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: It's nostalgic to go back to Cleveland and do it

149
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: again and all that stuff.

150
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 2: It's also a bit delusional.

151
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: Then I would say the old Geezers Club, which would

152
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: be the Golden State Warriors, hang out in San Francisco,

153
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 1: and you got Steph Curry on one side, Draymond Green

154
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: on the other, Jimmy Butler, Jimmy Buckets is still there,

155
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: and Lebron and Draymond can do podcasts together, and they

156
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: could fire Steve Kerr and hire some podcast guide to

157
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: coach the Golden State Warriors Lakers did for Lebron, and

158
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: they'll get along good Lebron and Draymond Green until they

159
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 1: try to hijack the clipboard from whoever the coaches, whether

160
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: that's Steve Kerr or somebody else.

161
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: Then it's gonna get ugly, and then you've got the reunited.

162
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: It feels so good with Anthony Davis to go to

163
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: Dallas and then stick it to the Lakers as a

164
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: mav wreck with Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving and all

165
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: those injured guys that are on the Mavericks right now,

166
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: and they instead of Taco Tuesday, they can have Tex

167
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: Mex Wednesday in Dallas, Anthony Davis and Lebron. How great

168
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: would that be? Of course, we all know Lebron would

169
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: prefer to play for the Clippers. Everyone wants to play

170
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. It's hip to clip who wouldn't want

171
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: to play for the Clippers. But we're gonna eliminate the Clippers.

172
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: And here's why.

173
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Here's why we're gonna limit the Clippers, because there's no

174
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 1: way the Lakers are gonna allow that to happen.

175
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: There's zero chants.

176
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Like the Clippers have a better owner, they have a

177
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: better arena, they have a better fan base. Everyone knows

178
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: that in town in La. They're not going to allow

179
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: Lebron to go over there and embarrass the Lakers even

180
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: more so, that's not gonna happen, right, So Jeanie Buss,

181
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: he's still supposedly in charge, not gonna do that, right,

182
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 1: Not not gonna allow that to happen, to go over

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: to Inglewood in the hood in Inglewood and play for

184
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: the Clippers. So we'll eliminate them now, page two. So

185
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: We'll go to to Vegas the Summer League which is

186
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: going on over the weekend there, and Lebron was sitting courtside.

187
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 2: You see this over the weekend.

188
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: I glanced at it as Lebron sitting courtside by watching

189
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: his kid that sucks at basketball play for the Lakers

190
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: summer League team because he's a Nepo baby and he

191
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: won a sweepstakes raffle to get on the Lakers. So

192
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: there's Bronni out there who sucks, but you know it's

193
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: make a wish. So he's out there playing for the Lakers,

194
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: and Lebron's watching them. They played the I guess the

195
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Pelicans or a version a facsimile of the Pelicans in

196
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: the Summer League.

197
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: Now, ESBN invited Lebron James, they invited Lebron. You see this.

198
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: They invited Lebron on air to address the speculation which

199
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: has been running rampant about where Lebron's gonna go. Oh,

200
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: is he upset with this person, that person, the other person?

201
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: And so Lebron did he say, yes, I will go

202
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: on television. I would like to talk b I have

203
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: nothing to say or see no comment. Lebron said, quote,

204
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: if you picked b you win. He said, quote, I

205
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: ain't got nothing to talk about. He must have learned

206
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: that in high school an acron, I ain't got nothing

207
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: to talk about. So question, why did Lebron James refuse

208
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: the opportunity, the platform to speak about his situation while

209
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: in attendance at the Las Vegas Summerly He had his

210
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: sullen look on his face, bad body language from Lebron

211
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: as he was sitting courtside there in Vegas. So the

212
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: answer is by saying nothing, by Lebron saying nothing and

213
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: passing up the opportunity, Lebron gave a masterclass and.

214
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: I'm in control control one oh one.

215
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: By not saying anything, he could have popped on Television's true,

216
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: he was given the opportunity, he was given platform Lebron

217
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: to jump over there on television and pretend like everything's good,

218
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: and he chose not to do it. He had ESPN

219
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 1: essentially throwing themselves at him and just you know again,

220
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: he said, I'm not I'm not doing it. I'm not

221
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: going to go there, and he missed the opportunity right

222
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: the old Dali Lama line. While you could have been

223
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: you know, they treated him like the Dalai Lamba. But

224
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: Lebron he could have taken a fire extinguisher and put

225
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: out the fire.

226
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: Right, take the fire extinguisher, put out the fire. But

227
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: he likes the fire.

228
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: It's like he's warming marshmallows on a stick in the fire.

229
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: And so instead he worked to pour some kerosene on

230
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: top of the fire. Burn, baby burn.

231
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: And it's like a cloak and dagger type mission. The

232
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: useful idiots.

233
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: You toss out these bread crumbs, you drop these little

234
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: bread crumbs, but you don't do it. I have somebody

235
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: else do it for you. So you drop the bread

236
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: crumbs out there, and you post cryptic things on the

237
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: gram and all that stuff. You let the media do

238
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: the dirty work, the heavy lifting for you and all that.

239
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: And so you don't talk because you don't have to talk. Right,

240
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: other people are talking. I'm talking about you. Everyone's talking

241
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: about you.

242
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

243
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: Right, the machine, the machine of basketball content, is discussing

244
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: Lebron James. Now this is the same guy that years

245
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: ago had the remember the zero dark thirty stick and

246
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: the playoff run. Of course, we know that often didn't

247
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: last and work so well, so he stopped doing that,

248
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: but he treated it like it was a ritual like

249
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: Marty Grass for Lebron before the playoffs there, and so

250
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: Lebron chose not to speak. Not the silence was not silence,

251
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: it was strategy. That was what what Lebron was doing here.

252
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: And by refusing to go on camera and not using

253
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: your own voice to get the message out and all

254
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: that stuff in Vegas where you want to be seen, right,

255
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 1: you go to Vegas to be seen, the party and

256
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: all that stuff, and everything's a show in Vegas, and

257
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: Lebron's part of the show. And he knew exactly what

258
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: he was doing. Classic passive aggressive behavior by Labron James

259
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: yet again, let the drama swirl, swirl, swirl, swirl, and

260
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: that's what he was doing there. And he just sits

261
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: back and watches the speculation and it just is everywhere

262
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: there's there's a there's a residence, there's a heat.

263
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: It's like coming off.

264
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: The blacktop there on the on the court, and he's

265
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: keeping it cool, right, He's sitting there, he's got his

266
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: arms fold, he's unbothered.

267
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: At least he wants you to believe he's unbothered by

268
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 2: everything that's going on.

269
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: Now, using my Rosetta stone, using my malle Rosetta stone

270
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: to translate Lebron and what he meant in plain English

271
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: in layman's terms. When Lebron said, I ain't got nothing

272
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: to talk about, that was his quote.

273
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: I ain't got nothing to talk about.

274
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: It That means I know you're all panicking about where

275
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to be traded or if I'm going to

276
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: be traded and all that, and I'm just watching you squirm,

277
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: and I've got an evil laugh.

278
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: Just like that.

279
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: We know the routine. We all know. Every man, woman

280
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: and child knows the routine. Now the final point staying

281
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. We talked earlier on the Overnight Show

282
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: about the brain rot in professional sports. Out of an

283
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: abundance of caution, everyone must do the bare minimum, do

284
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: not go above and beyond the call of duty like

285
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: previous generations.

286
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: Who do the bare minimum.

287
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: Another example of that, the Dallas Mavericks have decided we

288
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: are shutting down Cooper Flag. The flag is down, yes,

289
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag for the remainder of the NBA Summer League.

290
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: IX nay on the flag A as he has been

291
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: shut down. I will not be playing. Only played two games.

292
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: Two that's it. So how do you react to the

293
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the NBA draft only playing

294
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: two games and shut down? So I give this one

295
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 1: the old shoulder shrug. I shrugged my shoulders of this

296
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: to sign yet again, much like we talked earlier, sign

297
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: of the times in professional sports. And this infestation is everywhere.

298
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: And two games, that's it. Two game one sucked, bad

299
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: game and then one that was okay. And a couple

300
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 1: of glorified scrimmages in Vegas in July and that Vegas heat.

301
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: And that's all she wrote. That's all she wrote for

302
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: Cooper Flag, the Mavericks new teenage sensation of Maverick Nation.

303
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: They put him back into bubble wrap and they put

304
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: him into storage. That's it, that's all. And they've treated

305
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: him like some kind of high end vase they don't

306
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: want to break. And they'll put that away in the

307
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: garage and they'll take that out when we get back

308
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: to the irregular season. So the Mavericks, in their infamitt

309
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: wisdom also known as paranoia, the Mavericks are shutting down

310
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Cooper Fact for the rest of the summer league not

311
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: because he's hurt, by the way, not because he's hurt,

312
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: not because he asked out saying I can't handle this,

313
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: I can't do it. No, they're just being cautious out

314
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution. They're being careful because God forbid,

315
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: God forbid a young athlete who's been I assume playing

316
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: aau ball since they came out of the womb there

317
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: and that they can't make just a couple of extra

318
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 1: games and that's too much, that's too much for the

319
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: prodigy out of Maine. Cannot do it, Cooper Flag, I

320
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: gotta shut him down, shut him down right now, right,

321
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where we are. That is exactly where

322
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: we are right now, just like the baseball players trying

323
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: to skip the All Star Game because oh man, I

324
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: need my resting, realization and recovery.

325
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 2: I need all of that.

326
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: So now, the NBA is not just soft. Okay, they're

327
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: not just soft. They are whipped cream soft is the NBA.

328
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: In fact, they're not even just whipped cream. If they

329
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: were a type of cheese, they would be a Philadelphia

330
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: original Philadelphia cream cheese.

331
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: That's what they would be.

332
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: The the NBA and a little rice cake action on

333
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: the side there and some cream cheese and Philadelphia cream cheese.

334
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: That's where they are there. And Cooper Flag is just

335
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: the latest example of that. They say the Mavericks that

336
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: he quote showed enough.

337
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: That's what they say. Please, how did you show enough?

338
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: Exactly what does that even mean? I don't even know

339
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: what that means? A vague term.

340
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: So another player that rather than try to get them

341
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: up to speed where they settle.

342
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 2: Into the to the grind, right to grind.

343
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,239
Speaker 1: We're talking to some old baseball players about that, and

344
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: like and baseball people will complain in the base I know,

345
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: crossing the streams here, crossing the sports. But pitchers are

346
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: soft in baseball because they've been trained to be soft

347
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: well basketball players. Here's an opportunity with Cooper Flag to

348
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: be like, you're not gonna be like all the rest.

349
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: We're gonna we're gonna train you to not run.

350
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: From the grind like these other NBA stars, and we're

351
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: going to train you to run towards the grind and

352
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: not away from it. But instead the Mavericks have the

353
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: opportunity and with so Wing Barra, saw Wing Barra, that's it.

354
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: So instead they're sending Cooper Flag the number one, picking

355
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: the draft back back to the lab, putting him in

356
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: a test tube some cryogenic chamber somewhere in Dallas.

357
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 2: And he really didn't even get a real whiff of

358
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: what it's all about in the in the NBA.

359
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: And so he's I think he's still like nineteen years

360
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: old and all that stuff, and they're treating him like

361
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: he's a grizzled thirty nine year old veteran with arthritick

362
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: hips and his knees are all messed up and he's

363
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: he's had double knee replacement surgery and that's what they're

364
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: treating him like. And he's a teenager. Uh so, you

365
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: know again, opportunity here. Am I crazy to toughen this

366
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: guy up? And no, it's straight pampers, baby, It's it's

367
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: pampers all the way, is what it is for Cooper Flag.

368
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: Right from the draft, Get.

369
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: The therapy dog out the whole thing, Get a nice warm,

370
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: blankye and a glass of milk.

371
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: And load management.

372
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: You gotta get that trained early on, all about the

373
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: load management. But it's even more of that. It's like

374
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: fear disguised as some kind of science. And that old

375
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: phrase we learned that in twenty twenty during the pandemic.

376
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: You can get away with almost anything. If you say

377
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: out an abundance of caution. You can convince people to

378
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: do almost anything and they'll do it, and people can't

379
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: question it, and you just have to go with it

380
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: and you just can't question it. So this is where

381
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: we are with the NBA and Cooper Flag. It's a

382
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: set of an abundance of caution. Please, So another opportunity

383
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: could have developed, didn't develop, and now they're treating Cooper

384
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: Flag like he's in a museum somewhere and you don't

385
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: want to get too violent and have activity on the

386
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,480

452
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,879

453
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 1: is Jakob Mazerowski only made five starts.

454
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:22,880

Speaker 2: And get his jersey when he joins the Clippers. No,

458
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 2: of course not. He's not going to the Clippers. The

00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 2: Lakers are not going to allow that to happen.

Speaker 1: He can't read that on the air, That lunatic Mark

468
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: the full name. Guys still sending messages that will not

469
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: be read on the air until he calls in to

470
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: clean the record. He will not do that because he's

471
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: scared Mark from Queen's Rights. And he says, big Ben,

472
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: thank you. Funniest mal monologue ever. There you go, and

473
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: he enjoyed us ripping the great Cooper flag. Almost drove

474
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: off the road, even though I'm a huge Mavericks fan.

475
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 2: March from Queens. But he lives in in Texas. There

476
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 2: that was hysterical. We'll thank you.

00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: Glad you enjoyed it, Tony writes and says, Lebron James

478
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: ready to roll and lead the Lakers to another title

479
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: in June. Well, Tony depends how many times should play

480
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: the video game. But I agree Tony on the video game.

481
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Absolutely it could happen. I'm pulling for you, Tony. I

482
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: hope you win the video game. Let's go to the

483
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 1: phones and we'll say.

484
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: Hello to Eenie Meenie money Mall.

485
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bob. Bob is in the great state

486
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: of Missouri. Hello, Bob, welcome.

487
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 3: Hey, it's a pleasure to speak to a sports talk

488
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 3: radio all star and Hall of Famer. Again.

489
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: Really, I'm not in any hall of face.

490
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,479
Speaker 1: But well, I don't like I don't like to talk

491
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: about it because it's never happened, so but I appreciate that.

492
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: What's up, Bob? How can we help you? Buddy?

493
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 7: Hey?

494
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of Hall of Fame, I've been wondering this

495
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: for like fifty years. Yeah, an MLB player retires, he

496
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 3: waits five years for selection to the Hall of Fame. Well,

497
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 3: isn't that enough time for the writers to assess his career.

498
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 3: There shouldn't be a one and done thing.

499
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 7: You should be a.

500
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 3: One ballot, first ballot Hall of Famer. If you're a

501
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, either are or you're not. It pisses

502
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 3: me off when these guys twenty years later, you know,

503
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: they weed it down to weed it down.

504
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: Well, the argument, though, Bob, The argument is like in politics,

505
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: people don't always win their first THENT Abraham Lincoln lose

506
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: eight elections and then became eventually became the President of

507
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: the United States.

508
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 2: Like, sometimes you lose, you don't win right away.

509
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: I generally agree with you, though, there's a lot of

510
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: as you know, there's politics. You've read about the baseball

511
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: writers who have control of this and they're the only

512
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: ones that get to vote. The baseball riders and Baseball

513
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: made a deal with the devil, the baseball scribes, and

514
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: it's been that way ever since then. And so that's

515
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: just how it goes. And you got to kind of

516
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: massage the egos of the baseball riders and you can,

517
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: you can get votes. But then they, as you said,

518
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: they have all these other committees too, that will put

519
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: you in like the back door of the Hall of Fame.

520
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,959
Speaker 3: And yeah, well to me, it's kind of an insult

521
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: to the legitimate first ballot guys.

522
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: Well, there are there are different there are different Yeah,

523
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: there are different layers, clearly, I mean there's different layers

524
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 1: the first ballot Hall of Fame or how many times

525
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: do you have to wait to get in?

526
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: Did you go to the Veterans Committee? Now they get

527
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 2: this other things like Pete Rose is going to.

528
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: Get in the Hall of Fame a couple of years

529
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: Joe Jackson will get in the Hall of Fame. But

530
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: they're dead, but they'll get in the Hall of Fame.

531
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: They'll get in the Hall of Fame.

532
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: Baseball just shoots hisself in the foot a lot. As

533
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 3: far as I'm not a big NBA guy, but I'm

534
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 3: kind of hoping Lebron wants to go back to Cleveland

535
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 3: and they tell him we don't want you and or

536
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 3: your summer league on chain.

537
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: Okay, Oh well, I mean we'll see what happens with

538
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the summer of lebronob.

539
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: As far as as as Flag goes learning load management

540
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,719
Speaker 3: at the age of eighteen, yeah, so you can make

541
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,360
Speaker 3: a million dollars a game. Wow, what a great example

542
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 3: of whatever that is.

543
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: No, I agree, I think it's great the NBA training

544
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: these guys on load management. You don't want Cooper Flag

545
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 1: though he is eight He turns nineteen at the.

546
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: End of the year. I thought he was nineteen already,

547
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: but he's eighteen.

548
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: You're right, so it could Cooper Flag just kind of,

549
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, do your thing and chill out and learn

550
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: what Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard and these other NBA

551
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: players do that you do. You don't want to embarrass

552
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: the rest of the guys by playing in every game

553
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: that would make him look bad. So exactly, all right,

554
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: thank you about all right, thanks for listening. It's great, Bob,

555
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: right there, Cooper Flag being taught the ancient art of

556
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: load management very important. You must practice load management. Let's

557
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: go to someone that does actice load management. He doesn't

558
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: call every night. He picks his spots Jerome and Charleston.

559
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 2: What is he angry about? Bringing home Jerome? Hello? Jerome's beginning.

560
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 7: That, Hey, you know what I love? Then the fact that, uh,

561
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 7: you talk about the clip the Leggas all the time.

562
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 7: Why don't you talk about the successful La Clippers, the

563
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 7: team that we listen.

564
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: I could talk about the Clippers people. People would love

565
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: that content. But I play the hits. I do negative radio,

566
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: negative radios, the Lakers. That's why I talk about him.

567
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: They're a joke.

568
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, Hey, when are you gonna talk about the scandal

Speaker 7: She doesn't can't.

575
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: All right, well, and I do take phocos. So James

576
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Harden was not he was not. It was he's getting

577
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: sued because he has the money. He wasn't the one

578
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 1: that did anything. Right, you read the lawsuit. Yes, there

579
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: was a there's a party at his house and the

580
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: woman accused relative of James Harden of some funny business.

581
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: And rather than the suit, well rather well there was.

582
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: No there's no criminal charge. There's no criminal charges. There's

583
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: no criminal charges. Droom right, it's a civil matter. But

584
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken.

585
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's just accusations at this moment. Yeah, and

586
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: it's not James Harden.

587
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: So I don't do we care about the relatives of

00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: these people like the Is that a big I mean,

00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: a modeling about James Harden's like nephew or whatever. Is

591
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,920

00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: an issue with the Harden thing like this.

595
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 7: But for some reason you can't bring you in person,

596

Speaker 7: can't bring yourself to say anything about it.

597

Speaker 1: Listen, what do you want me to say a relative

598
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: of a basketball players being suited because they have a

00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: lot of money and their relative doesn't have a lot

600
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: of money. You understand, I mean, why why is that

00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 1: so hard for you? Under Jerome? I don't think you're

602
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: a moron, but you're acting. You're sounding like a moron. Jerome,

00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: like you do understand the people that gets Yes, he's

604
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: an NBA player.

605
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: James Harden's nephew is not in the NBA.

606
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 7: Hey, look, look, you talk about nepotism. Where have you

607
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 7: been living that for the last two hundred years?

608
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: Well, I haven't been alive. I know I'm old, but

609
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm not that old. I'm not in two hundred years.

610
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I have not been alive for.

611
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,280

612
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 7: not the first people and they won't be the last,

613
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 7: so we should just think money.

614
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

615
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: So you're okay with that, that nepotism. It sounds like

616
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: you're okay with Jerome. It sounds like you don't have

617
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: an issue with it. You're you're defending Bronnie James, who

618
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: sucks at basketball, who's in the NBA because of his daddy.

619
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: You're okay with that?

620
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Well I can't.

725
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: like his agenda was Jay Balor's not talking about James R.

726
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: And for some reason about Manzi's name.

Speaker 7: Up.

728
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,720

Speaker 1: About the story, and and he just kept repeating it

734
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: over and over again because he is a has had

735
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: an agenda. He has nothing else to say, no content,

736
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,160

00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: forty Ian?

780
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 2: What's that you a radar Captain Jack Sparrow, Ben.

781
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: All right, No, it's Mike Gold Jack Schmid of the

782
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:46,760
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy five Phila Delfield, Philly.

783
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: Here we go, Here we got.

784
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 4: This is one big fan gets grilled.

785
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 8: Trooper forty nine Ers filled that Kyle euscheck to the

786
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 8: media over the weekend that Christian McCaffrey looks quote incredible

787
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 8: and that he will change everything.

788
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 2: For the forty nine ers everything.

789
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 8: Yes, Ben, does a healthy McCaffrey drastically change the outlook

790
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 8: for the Niners?

791
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: No, because it's July. I don't doubt that he's healthy

792
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: in July.

793
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: Didn't he just announce the other a kid or he

794
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: had a kid Christian McCaffrey, So listen, looking healthy in

795
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: July is one thing. McCaffrey was always hurt with Carolina.

796
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons they got rid of him.

797
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: He had a stretch of health through the Niners. The

798
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: real Christian McCaffrey is the guy gets hurt all the time.

799
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: So it doesn't change the outlook for the Niners because

800
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: he's not going to be healthy by the time we

801
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: get to reach seven or week eight next.

802
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 8: So the Los Angeles Angels had the number two pick

803
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 8: in the Omber Joe, Yes.

804
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 3: They had.

805
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 8: They had the top top rated pitching prospect there on

806
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 8: the board, but they did not take him. Yes, and

807
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 8: said they took Tyler Brenner Bremner who nobody had him

808
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 8: ranked even.

809
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 2: In the top ten. Yeah, ben A. Is this a

810
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: GM move or an ownership move? Who's to blame for this? Well?

811
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,239
Speaker 1: The other argument, coup is this kid Holidays that was

812
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: a top player in the draft. The Angels could have

813
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: drafted him. They could have gotten the number one guy

814
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: at number two. No, it's it's signability. It's nobody knows

815
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: anything about the baseball draft anyway, nobody knows anything about

816
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: the NFL or the basketball draft, so it's signed. It

817
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: is odd, though, when you take somebody that's not even

818
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 1: projected to be a top ten pick at the number

819
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: two pick. Something's gone terribly wrong there for the Angels.

820
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: But I think it's a signability thing. They knew they

821
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: could sign this guy from Santa Barbara so or he's

822
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: pitching at Santa barbt next.

823
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 8: Former All Pro defensive tackle Domocon Sioue announced his retirement

824
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 8: on Saturday. He has had an impressive career since being

825
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 8: drafted out of Nebraska.

826
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 2: Is it enough to get him into the Hall?

827
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 7: No?

828
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 2: Because he blocked me on Twitter.

829
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 1: Remember when he was about to sign with the Rams

830
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: and a listener contacted us and told him, told us

831
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: he was at a hotel and he panicked and domoicon

832
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: sue and blocked me on social media. Now he's got

833
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame resume, But because he blocked me,

834
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: no Hall.

835
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 2: Of fame for you? How did we do he passed that?

836
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 7: So?

837
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 2: What by no hall of fame?

838
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: No, no hold fast bope
