Speaker 1: two is ready for you. Talking basketball. Well, we talked

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: basketball and we discussed Bradley Beal. Does this Bradley Beal

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: signing move the needle for the Clippers?

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: He's headed to La.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Why did Bradley Beal reject the Lakers before joining the

7
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: People's Team? And Commissioner Adam Silver half Man half Alien

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: broke his silence on the NBA betting scandal, saying the

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: league is not not shutting down the gambling market because

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: of a few bad actors.

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: That's what he implied. So where is your.

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: Brain wave on this one? We'll get to all of that.

13
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: It is our first port of call here this hour.

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:56,760

Speaker 1: having a tough time. Things are not going well for

28
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Rick Oh.

29
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: More than that in a minute.

30
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: But this portion of the Ben Mallory Show made possible

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: in part by our friends at ti Iraq.

32
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 2: For over forty years, that's a fair.

33

Speaker 1: Amount of time, ty Raq has been helping customers find

34
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920

00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: dot Com, thew Waytire Buying Show be so our lead

38
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: this hour is from Pro boundcy Ball. We have some

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: movement on the High Speed Sports Wire. NBA player on

40
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: the Move sharpshooter Bradley Beal.

41
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: We talked about this in a previous episode of the show.

42
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 2: It had been a rumor. Well it is now fact.

43
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal and the Phoenix basketball team agreed to a

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: massive buyout the two years two years remaining on his

45
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 1: Contractveal giving back thirteen point nine million. He will still

46
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: walk away with about ninety six million dollars give or

47
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: take prior to taxes, so he's got a lot of

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: dough on his way. But he gives up thirteen point

49
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: nine million that the Phoenix basketball team owed him, and

50
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: that allows the Suns financial flexibility, which of course is

51
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: code for you.

52
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: We think you blow and we want someone else there

53
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 2: on our roster.

54
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: Now he's already found a new employer. Bradley Beal has

55
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: already found a new employer.

56
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 2: Did you see this? Maybe not? Maybe you tuned out.

57
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: Now we are told that Bradley Beal who everybody wanted.

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: For some reason, everybody wanted Bradley Beal, and he has

59
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: signed a two year, eleven million dollars deal with.

60
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: The Clippers.

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Wheez going to the Clippers that includes a player option

62
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: after he clears waivers. So let us discuss the question,

63
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: does this Bradley Beal signing does it move the needle

64
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: for the Clippers. So I've got Spanish Vegas, lounge at

65
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: and Tropicana, and we will combine all of these things

66
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a peanut butter

67
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: and jelly sandwich of PB and J is what we're

68
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: gonna make.

69
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: So my first point here.

70
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: Number wa, I said, Number WA. Yeah, Femi loves when

71
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: we do that. So Bradley Beal is a Clipper. Does

72
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: that move the needle? Was the question, And listen, I'm

73
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna talk in hyperbole. It moves the

74
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: needle absolutely about an inch. It moves it about an

75
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: inch the Clippers. Maybe you draw a little bit of

76
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: blood there, like the same thing applies, right. There is

77
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: enough talent there, there's a championship roster. Until Kawhi Leonard

78
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: Strain's a nostril, then what happens. But we are pragmatic

79
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: on this one, Like I don't.

80
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 2: Love the player.

81
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: He's got to prove that he's not just a stat

82
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: bandito and a guy that put up numbers in DC

83
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: on morbidly bad Washington teams. And he's got to prove

84
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: he can actually put up some numbers on.

85
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: A good team. He hasn't done it yet. Had a

86
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: couple of opportunities the Suns were supposed to be good.

87
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: He didn't do it.

88
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: And I use the word pragmatic. I think that's the

89
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 1: proper word. Let's be clear, this is a low risk,

90
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: high reward move. If Bradley Beal is just half the

91
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 1: player he had been with the old Washington Bullets or Wizards. Uh,

92
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: that's fine. He's not the savior. I mean, he is

93
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: a risk. He's made out of glass and he's like

94
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: a glass cannon, and you know he's got all kinds

95
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: of issues going into TSA right, sets off soft tissue

96
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: alarms and all that. But Bradley Beal is owed more

97
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: cash than the GDP of many small island nations out there.

98
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: It's insane, ninety plus million dollars. But that's the Sun's problem.

99
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 1: That ain't my problem, it's not your problem. And for

100
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: the Clippers, he chose the Clippers, right. Bradley Beal had options.

101
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: You believe the chatter there were double digit playoff worthy

102
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: teams that all flirted played foot see with Bradley Beal,

103
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: double digit teams and he picked in the and he

104
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: picked the people's team. And so let that marinate. I

105
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: know Rick Oh is having a tough time dealing with

106
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of other people that are. I

107
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 1: don't understand why would anyone would pick the Clippers. But

108
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal saw something and with Steve Balmers essentially running

109
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: a rehab clinic or down trodden basketball players, and sometimes

110
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: it works. Sometimes it doesn't, but they've They've had a

111
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: whole host of players come through. Ben Simmons was on

112
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: the team at the end of last year.

113
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: Russell west Brick was there.

114
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: And the difference here and maybe it's your delusion and

115
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 1: all that, but Balmer has so much money he was

116
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: able to use a laser printer and chat GPT and

117
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: quietly bring back the famous Spanish explorer Ponstelyon as the trainer.

118
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: So if anyone can unlock Bradley Beal, it is Ponstellione,

119
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: the new lead trainer of the Clippers, and Bill he's

120
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: still trying to find that fountain of youth. He's not

121
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: that old, but his body looks old and all that stuff.

122
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: And so the Clippers have this really good cryo chamber,

123
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:35,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure.

124
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: And it's just another former All star mercenary who goes

125
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: to the Clippers.

126
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 2: Now, page two, let's get into the nitty gritty here.

127
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: What do you say, why did Bradley Beal reject the Lakers?

128
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: The Lakers they were all horny to get Bradley Beal

129
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: over there in Lakerland and he said no. He joined

130
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,679
Speaker 1: the Clips. So why would you go to the people's

131
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: team when Lebron is out to get you. So this

132
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: is more direct evidence that the Lakers, who people at

133
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: one time described as the jewel of basketball royalty. That's

134
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: why they wear parpole, the arrogance of the Lakers. But

135
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: they are a team right now of not a lot

136
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: of status, right, players mostly politely decline.

137
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:26,239
Speaker 2: Right.

138
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: It's like when you're kind of weird uncle invites you

139
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: to dinner and I don't really want to see my uncle.

140
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: I'm not going to go to dinner with my uncle. Like,

141
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: guy's a loser.

142
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal had again ten twelve playoff teams that were

143
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: texting him and calling him, and then the dust settles

144
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: and he picked Kawhi Leonard and the Beard, James Harden.

145
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: He took the clips. Now, meanwhile, Acrosstown at the Church

146
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: of Lebron, right, the Church of Lebron, the.

147
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 1: Pews are getting pretty empty over there in terms of

148
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: the new players added, the Lakers are now the equivalent

149
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: of that fading Vegas lounge act.

150
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 2: Right.

151
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny when I'm driving around on the

152
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: weekends with the wife and we drive by the Indian

153
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: casinos and we see the bands that are performing and

154
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: the comedians.

155
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: I always say, well, you're at that.

156
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: Point in your career where you're now doing you're doing

157
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: the casinos circuit at the Indian casinos. You've now reached

158
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: that point, right, It's like a Vegas residency. In this case,

159
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: it's more like a Vegas lounge.

160
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: Act where you're.

161
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: Running out of encores and all that and oxygen and

162
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: just a bad Vegas lounge act. But even the Hookah Luca,

163
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: even his fat ass, can't save the Lakers on this one.

164
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: Luka Doncik could not close the deal with Lebron all right.

165
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal rejected Luca, and Lebron didn't even hesitate.

166
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: He could have taken the exit right there at figure Row,

167
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 2: gotten down a skid row where the Lakers.

168
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: Play waring that purple and gold, and rubbed elbows with

169
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: Lebron and Luca. Ever, he didn't do it. Why did

170
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: he do it? Well, the Lakers aren't cool, they don't matter.

171
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: They're mostly hospice for fading fading stars and all that's

172
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: like a retirement villa, nice retirement.

173
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: Villa and all that.

174
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: The Lakers, they're kind of becoming like the Knicks haven't

175
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: won a championship since Kobe. They are all about the

176
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: marketing and that's about it.

177
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 2: Good marketing.

178
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit on that. They talk to talk,

179
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: they don't walk to walk. And Bradley Beal, he was

180
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: at a fork in the road.

181
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: At a fork in the road, which direction am I

182
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: going to go?

183
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: Bradley Beal saw the future and he had two la

184
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: options and he said, I want to.

185
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: Go in the hood in Inglewood.

186
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,599
Speaker 1: Where the Clippers play, and I don't want to go

187
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: to skid Row, And so he chose Top, the team

188
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: that has a pulse.

189
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of things have to go right.

190
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: For the Clippers to win the championship, but for any

191
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: team to win the championship, a lot of things have

192
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: to go right. I believe in the multiverse, the Mallard multiverse,

193
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: and in the Mallard multiverse, there is a dimension where

194
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard stays healthy and James Harden doesn't take two

195
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: games off in the playoffs, and Bradley Beal turns out

196
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: to be the player that he had been.

197
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: In Washington and can do it on a good team.

198
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, you got the ras Mataz right,

199
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: you got the Razzle Dazzle. Now final point. So we

200
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: turn the page now to gambling. Now, as you know,

201
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: I enjoyed, I enjoy gambling. I'm not a degenerate. I

202
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: enjoy gamb as the FEDS continue to poke and prod

203
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: at this particular point with the prop bet shenanigans going on. Now,

204
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: this is a baseball story. It's a basketball stories. It

205
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: affects pretty much everything, everything in professional sports and in

206
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: college sports.

207
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: But we're gonna talk about the basketball part of it.

208
00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: Because Commissioner Adam Silver, the half man, half alien. What

209
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: planet does the lizard person Adam Silver come from? So

210
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: Adam Silver broke his silence about the NBA and the

211
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: betting scandal, saying that the league is not not shutting

212
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: down gambling.

213
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: They're not getting out of the gambling.

214
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: Business because they have a few bad actors, is essentially

215
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: what he implied. So where is your brain wave on

216
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: this one, Adam Silver, who did address the issue, And

217
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: it's like, well, that's pretty much said, just a couple

218
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: bad actors. So I turned to the mall Rosetta Stone

219
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: for guidance. The Mallow Rosetta Stone never wrong, and it

220
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: translated what Adam Silver said. It said, yes, we know

221
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: gambling is somewhat compromising the underbelly of our business, the

222
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: credibility of our sport, and for some eroding the trust

223
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: of a percentage of fans and those our customer and

224
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: it may even be influencing many more bets.

225
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: Than we would like to admit.

226
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: However, as they say at Tropicana, the juice, my.

227
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: Friends, is worth the squeeze. And here's why.

228
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: Because the gambling money is a pot of gold, and

229
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: the house always wins.

230
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 2: The house does not lose.

231
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: Right now, you say, well, sometimes the house loses, but

232
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: in the end they always win.

233
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,439
Speaker 2: And if you're just getting money.

234
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: From gambling and you're not the ones either taking the money,

235
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: you're putting the bets down, you always So let's be

236
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: very clear. The NBA isn't just tolerating gambling. It's now

237
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: intertwined in the business of basketball. Gambling companies sponsor the

238
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: broadcast and I don't have an issue with it, but

239
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 1: it's just the way it is.

240
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: It's not going away.

241
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: They own ad space on the court and some of

242
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: these gymnasiums. They even have official partnerships with the league.

243
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,599
Speaker 1: Now the referees. They don't have any gambling logos on

244
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: the shirts. I know Tim Dominiy probably wishes he did

245
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: have one, but you know it, just don't worry about that, right,

246
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure the algorithm is somehow working on that. And

247
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: by the way, the implication that it's just a few

248
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: bad actors, that is a phrase that you always use

249
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: when you're in the soup.

250
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 2: You always use it.

251
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Remember I mentioned Tim Donnie when Tim Donnie he was

252
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: involved in that.

253
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 2: I think it was not just a few bad actors.

254
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: I think it was a lone wolf. That was the

255
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: one they used, the lone wolf. But we hear that

256
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: phrase a.

257
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: Few bad actors in Wall Street, politics, big pharma, all

258
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: of those things. And it's never they never say it's systemic.

259
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: They never want to say it's systemic. It's never the

260
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: structure of the foundation. It's just some cosmetic things. It's

261
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: just a rogue ref over here, it's a crooked coach

262
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: over there, or it's some player that you had some

263
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: kind of weird thing on his phone. He's got a

264
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: got a code and he started a gambling account.

265
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 2: It's never ever the leagues, Faul, have you noticed that?

266
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Have you noticed it's never leaves the sports leagues, they

267
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: love to brag about how they monitor these these gambling places,

268
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: and they do.

269
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: There's a lot of checks and balances.

270
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: And the main reason there's a lot of checking balances

271
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: is not because of the leagues. It's because the people

272
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: that run the gambling houses have skin in the game,

273
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: right they as I've been told, I got some friends

274
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: that have listened to the show who are in that

275
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: business in the gambling world, work at sports books and whatnot.

276
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: They've told me kind of how it works and what

277
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: they look for and what things set off alarm bells.

278
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: And of course now everything's it's a lot easier.

279
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: Now with AI and monitoring things and Big Brother watching

280
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: and everything being done on the phones and all that.

281
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: But as I understand it, you know, what do I know?

282
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: But as I understand it, the main reason these guys

283
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: get caught is because of two things. Loose lips and

284
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: they can't control themselves if they stop chatting, because they

285
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: love to brag. Gamblers love to brag.

286
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 2: We need more.

287
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: If you're an introvert, you don't brag, right, you just

288
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: kind of keep to yourself.

289
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 2: It's extroverts who are like.

290
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Hey, I got this guy in the Cleveland Guardians and

291
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: he's in the tank, all right, So they love the

292
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: brag about how I got this guy he's gonna throw

293
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: a ball on a prop bet and then we're gonna

294
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: win the prop bet. Or I got this basketball player

295
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: for the Miami Heat and he's gonna miss this many

296
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: shots and all that stuff, So.

297
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 2: They love the brat. That's the first problem.

298
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: The second problem is they simply bet too much, and

299
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: because they try to get the.

300
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: Quick score, right, they want that quick score.

301
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: If you just bet a nominal amount, it does not

302
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: raise red flax. Like there was a guy, the most

303
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: famous example recently this Jibebroni on the He was on

304
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: the Toronto Raptors, right, so he's playing for the Toronto

305
00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: Raptors and he ends up getting caught. But the main

306
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: reason he got caught he talked about it. Right, The

307
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: loose lips sank gambling ships. The other problem was people

308
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: were betting ridiculous amounts of money because he.

309
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: Was telling people and they were telling other people. They

310
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 2: were betting massive amounts of money.

311
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: Like it's an obvious reflect You don't need AI, you

312
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: don't need some kind of supercomputer to know if.

313
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 2: Nobody on the.

314
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: Toronto Raptors is getting more action than Lebron James on

315
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: a prop. Chances are there's some funny business going on.

316
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, right, And so.

317
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 2: That's the thing.

318
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: These guys are always looking for the big payday. But

319
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 1: there is a world where you don't tell anybody and

320
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: you kind of keep it on the down low, and

321
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: you bet a nomenal amount and you win every single

322
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: time that person takes the court.

323
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: You don't win a lot, but you win a little

324
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: and it adds up. It's study gains. But these losers,

325
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: they won't even do that.

326
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: They have to go for the big score, and that's

327
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: how they end up getting caught, and they will continue

328
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: to get caught because of human nature and they people

329
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: can't help themselves.

330
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 2: They want that big pay day. They want. We all

331
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: try to find a short cut in anything. It is

00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: I love Jay Scoop. He's been a loyal minion for

441
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: this show many many years. He's the guy that put

442
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: together the Mallard meet and greet we did in Seattle

443
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: and wait, right before COVID in twenty nineteen, we had

444
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: a big get together there in Seattle, which was awesome,

445
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: and he put that together.

446
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: And he's been a big supporter. But he's right.

447
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: I mean, the things that stand out are the Boston Belcher,

448
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: the Boston Belcher, the guy from Iowa who would would

449
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: talk as a pig, you know, and sing.

450
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: That was great.

451
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: Late Night Drug tester says, no surprise, the Clippers are

452
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: getting the latest free agents. They have stable ownership, a

453
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: great arena, not like the Lakers with a building in

454
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: a dangerous neighborhood and constantly changing ownership exactly. Let's see Bill,

455
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 1: who's your Bill says he's in the mouth. Is he

456
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: in there by the way go?

Speaker 1: Who's your Bill says he's in the mall oft palooza.

459
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has a slot or not,

460
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: no idea. Tony says, you're absolutely right, Ben, the Clippers

461
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: are locked and loaded. Look at Tony locked and loaded.

462
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 1: Normally don't expect those kind of compliments from Tony. He's

463
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: a Laker lapdog. But there is Bill Whosia. Bill also says,

464
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: been you're a little young. Do you remember the nineties

465
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: NBA ref scandal they were selling their first class tickets?

466
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I like that you think I'm a little young.

467
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: That's good. I'd like to be continued to think that.

468
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 2: You to think that I'm a little young.

469
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: I may in another life have been on radio talking

470
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: about that. If you remember, the umpires in baseball were also.

471
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 2: Part of that.

472
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: Wasn't just the NBA referees, because all those referees talk

473
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: to each other. They were making bank man, so they

474
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: had deals. As I remembered. As I understand the story,

475
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: it was years ago, the thirty years ago. But the

476
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: referees in basketball and the umpires and baseball and all that,

477
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: and I think it was football too.

478
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: It was across the board.

479
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: So they had in their union contracts they were given

480
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: first class tickets. So what they would do is they

481
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: would sell the first class tickets and take a coach

482
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: ticket and then and save the extra money. Natron writes

483
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: in says, hey, Ben, I guess he wants to touch

484
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: up my work. He says Kobe was not on the

485
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty Laker team. Well, that's true, Kobe was not.

486
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: On the twenty twenty Laker team.

487
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: But that's that team didn't didn't win, that doesn't count.

488
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: And so.

489
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: That's that's why the last.

490
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: Legitimate championship was the Kobe team. And that's not my opinion,

491
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: that's Alex Caruso's opinion, who pointed out when the Thunder

492
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 1: won the championship this summer, he said, now I got

493
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: a real one, because he knew that was a Mickey

494
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: Mouse ring. And then everyone got upset, so we had

495
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: to try to correct it and walk it back.

496
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: As the people were hurt because he said the truth.

497
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: And let's say hello to hollering James in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

498
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Hello hollering James, Hello James, I am sleeping.

499
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't hear him sleeping though. All right, we'll hang

500
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: up on him. Let's go to Tony in the Bay Area.

501
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 2: What's going on?

502
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: If he's not going to sleep with's no point Hello

503
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: Tony the Bay Area.

504
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 5: Hey man, I got two things. One is is when

505
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 5: you say the Bears King Kong and got s on you.

506
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 5: And also, because of Chris Farley, George Went and Joel Montagna,

507
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 5: when people run into me when I'm wearing my Bears

508
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 5: gear and they acknowledge it, I can only say one thing, Bears.

509
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: Thank you. Tony. What do you think Tony looks like?

510
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: You know, I've tried to play this game with other people,

511
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: and it's really hard to guess what people look like.

512
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: It is.

513
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: I think Tony's either kind of a tall, skinny guy

514
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: or a shorter, fat guy.

515
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: I don't think there's like a middle ground there with Tony.

516
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll meet him that our buddy there Alameda. Lou

00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 2: right there.

00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 6: Willis is up.

612
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 7: He was resting. Uh you had a caller who was resting,

613
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 7: and then they got back up. But Willis was resting.

614
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 7: But he was just as inspired as I was by

615
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 7: the recitation, uh you know, of swearing.

616
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 6: Allegiance to the Malan Militia.

617
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 7: Willis is up. We'll see for how how fired up

618
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 7: he gets. We gotta we gotta get him some snacker ruse.

619
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 7: Uh you know, but he he's up and he's he's engaged.

620
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 7: Ben Bett. But that was some powerful stuff. And I

621
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 7: think we're going to be hearing from Willis who prepares

622
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,479
Speaker 7: himself for the Palosa. You got some some headliners lined up.

623
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 7: So Willis is not going to disappoint. Not to say

624
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 7: that he is going to steal the show, but he wants.

625
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 2: To hold his well hold on now.

626
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: Uh Andre, Willis does have an advantage because people love pets.

627
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: People love pets.

628
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: And Willis, to my knowledge, is the only only animal

629
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: act in the show. So that there was a huge

630
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: advantage that Willis has. If Willis does not get stage fright,

631
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: that's the concern.

632
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 7: I'll get stage fright. Willis is the dog of the people. Okay,

633
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 7: he loves folks. You know he's coming from uh.

634
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh, there he is.

635
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: I just love how Willis is like. It's like Willis

636
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: went through dog puberty. Willis used to be the quietest

637
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: dog around. Now all of a sudden, every time you talk,

638
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 1: Willis is making noise. He's like your hype man. And

639
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: there's Willis again. Look at that unbelievable.

640
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 6: You know, he's all about heeling again. He loved the people.

641
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 7: He loves the people again. His roots he was, you know,

642
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 7: a rescue dog from down in Georgia, you know, so

643
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 7: he's got the good hunting root malin all and h

644
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 7: and shepherd mixed. So when we go for our walks,

645
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 7: you know, he so inspiring was the reaffirmation of allegiance

646
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 7: to the Mala militia.

647
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 6: I do believe we.

648
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 7: Are going to have to be going for a walk.

649
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 7: I was on the fence, but we're definitely getting out

650
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 7: there and going to move and groove. But he's always

651
00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 7: sniffing things, making sure things are safe in the neighborhood.

652
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think Willis.

653
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: I don't want to speak for Willis, but I believe

654
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: Willis is upset with me because I feel like I'm

655
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: delaying the walk, and Willis is upset with me because

656
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: Willis knows it's walk, it's go time, and you're doing

657
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: a talk radio call and the dog would like to walk.

658
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: Do you speak dog, Ben? And that seems very accurate.

659
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: Well, I do hang out with the dog most hours

660
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 1: of the day. My dog Moxie. I have a great

661
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 1: Moxie story. I'm gonna save it for the podcast those weekend.

662
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 1: I has a wonderful story about my dog Moxie.

663
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 7: But yeah, so bet we walked during the show. You know,

664
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 7: I got the phone in my pocket. I'm listening. I'm

665
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 7: gaining inspiration and motivation and insight from the other callers.

666
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 7: And then sometimes, you know, while I'm on the walk,

667
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 7: you know, I get on the other time, I had

668
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 7: to put my flash light down, you know, so I

669
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 7: could so I could take the call. And we went

670
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 7: back and got the flash flight and we kept it moving.

671
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 7: So it's a beautiful thing to the specifics in terms

672
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 7: of what's going on in La, you know, and Daddy

673
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 7: warp Bucks, that's mister Steve Bomber swooping in and stealing

674
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 7: Bradley Beale from the Lakers if they didn't have their

675
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 7: own soap proper, the unnecessary soap opera going on with

676
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 7: Lebron and all this conjecture about him leaving. He's going nowhere. Okay,

677
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 7: this side shows spin that keeps him keeps some trending,

678
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 7: but it's not good for business, frankly, because he ain't leaving.

679
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 7: He's not leaving the warm weather. He's not leaving being

680
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 7: a media mogul. He's not leaving playing with a generational player.

681
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 7: So we can stop it. But it prevented them from

682
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 7: getting Bradley Beal. Now look the Clippers good leadership. We

683
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 7: talked about Daddy Warbucks, who spends built into a dome,

684
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 7: which the state of the art in terms of how

685
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 7: it's constructed. And then you got great people on that staff,

686
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 7: but they're all about the reclamation project spin. So that's

687
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 7: why I think, you know, Bradley Beal, he's kind of

688
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 7: on the fritz, but he goes to the Clippers. I

689
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 7: think they'll get him trending in the right direction. And

690
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 7: they're starting five is kind of dangerous. Now we never

691
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 7: know with Kawhi, but you got my man at Vodka. Okay,

692
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 7: the center at Vodka, Kawhi at the four deal at

693
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 7: the three. Uh, they got to the leaper Jones and

694
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 7: then Harden at the one. You know.

695
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: So the start, it looks no, you wonder what it

696
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: looks like though by the time they get to the playoffs. Yeah,

697
00:36:57,760 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year, no one says healthy,

698
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: I gotta let you go. But enjoy the walk to

699
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: the walk and talk with your dog.

700
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,000

742
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:32,879

743
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 3: gets grilled.

744
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,240
Speaker 9: So it seems that Randy Moss is making the rounds

745
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 9: this time. In a radio interview, Moss was asked where

746
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 9: he'd ranked Tyreek Hill in the Pantheon of receivers. Moss said,

747
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 9: He's nowhere all time, but top five in today's game.

748
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 2: Ben, is that harsh. No, that's reality. Listen, that's the

749
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: way it is.

750
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it has been amazing wide receivers in NFL history,

751
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 1: and Tyreek kills a good player in this generation. He's

752
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: got some really solid numbers and all that, but he's

753
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: not as good as Isaac Bruce or Marvin Harrison or

754
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: I mean there's a bunch of them from the old

755
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: school days, Calvin Johnson, Chris Carter, I.

756
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 2: Can go on and on, Tim Brown, Larry.

757
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald, and Jerry Rice the greatest of all time too,

758
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: not close.

759
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 9: Next, Auburn coach You Freeze said at SEC Media Day

760
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 9: on Tuesday that he truly believes that Auburn will be

761
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 9: in the mix for the College football playoff.

762
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: Ben.

763
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 9: Auburn has an eleven and fourteen record in two years

764
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 9: under Freeze. How long of a leash do you think

765
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 9: he has?

766
00:40:30,800 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: Well, Auburn has very passionate boosters and they have a

767
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: lot of money. And if Nick Saban wants to come back,

768
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,879
Speaker 1: not that he would go to Auburn, right, he would

769
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: never go to Auburn. But no, he's not long, And

770
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: I like you Freeze, I think he knows what he's doing.

771
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: But you know, they're not a contender, and I don't

772
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: buy it. You got to show me something, and they

773
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: haven't shown me anything in the last couple years.

774
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 9: Next, Victor wenbin Yama said over the weekend that it

775
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 9: is his dream to spend his entire career with the

776
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 9: San Antonio Spurs.

777
00:40:58,960 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 2: Ben.

778
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 9: Do you think wembyc like the one team your whole

779
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:02,280
Speaker 9: career type?

780
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 2: No? I don't.

781
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: That's that's Wemby, the Parisian prodigy, speaking at the age

782
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,759
