Speaker 1: courtesy catastrophe, modern medical marvel, and some other things as

24
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: well mixed in, but we're gonna start with this. So

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the price of a polite nod, it's really what this

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: is the price of a polite nod. So let me

27
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: take you behind the microphone for a minute, as we

28
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: like to do on the Saturday podcast here in behind

29
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: the scenes the life of Malor into the day to

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: day the Malar underground, if you will need some notes,

31
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: as I live my life as a pack mule out

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: in the north Woods. So when you're married, and I

33
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: say this with the utmost terrified respect of someone that

34
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: knows where my bread is buttered, you take on certain roles.

35
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: Think of this like the I think about like the

36
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: division of labor. It's like a maritime strategy to keep

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: the mallard dinghy from hitting an iceberg. So my role

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,519
Speaker 1: in this, I'm like a Swiss army knife of this operation.

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I get the large blade, you get the little small blade,

40
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: the tweezers, the toothpick of course, really big corkscrew, really

41
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: big corkscrew, a jack of all trades, a master of none,

42
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: which is really a polite way of saying, I'm the

43
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: guy who gets to shred the cheese. I'm the tree shredder.

44
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: That's one of my jobs. And you've heard the line

45
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker. Well I'm the baker,

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: the cook, the dishwasher, and the primary grocery shopper. So

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: I get to cook as a line cook, and then

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,679
Speaker 1: I get to also buy my own groceries. So I'm

49
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: not complaining. By the way, this is not a complaint.

50
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: Of course, you would argue that I'm always complaining. You

51
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: might on the radio show. So all I do is

52
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I did this marginal overnight talk show, and I am

53
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: somewhat busy during the week and preparing monologues. You have

54
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: to entertain people like blind Scott and hollering James and

55
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: Jed who fled and whatnot. So I have a schedule.

56
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: I have a schedule, somewhat loose schedule during the day.

57
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: So the other other day I head over to the

58
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: sticker shock superstores I like to call it, because every

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: time I go in there, the prices go up, up

60
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: and away. And now I have a short I do

61
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: not really a list. A big board, you know Terry

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: in England, I do not do list. So it's a

63
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: big board. It's Benny's big board. I needed three things

64
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: on my big board. Three that's it. Quick trip, ground, beef, bell, pepper,

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: and onion. That was what I needed to get. This

66
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: is a surgical strike. When I say surgical, like a

67
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: ninja rat tat tat in and out, commando style. Unfortunately,

68
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the universe decided that yours truly needed a refresher course

69
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: on the old adage no good deed goes unpunished. So

70
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the internal dialogue that was going

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: on in my head as I was making this quick

72
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: quick trip to the store to get a few items.

73
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: So I'm navigating the obstacle course the local five and dime,

74
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: heading to the finish line, and when I cross paths

75
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: with this older gentleman, Now I'm getting old. I guess

76
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: this guy was much older than I was, and we

77
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: were converging and it was gonna be a bottleneck situation

78
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: or going to the same location to the checkout counter. Now,

79
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: I was raised right by Mama Malar at least I

80
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: believe I was raised. Right, you'll have to be the

81
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: judge of that. But Mama Mallard taught me, and I

82
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: have muscle memory, and my brain said, all right, listen,

83
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: respect your elders, Benjamin, come on, respect your elders. Give

84
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: him the right away. Now, I did play peekaboo, I did.

85
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: I looked at this.

86
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: Dude's basket and he had leafy greens, and I was like, oh, dude,

87
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: there might have been some kaling there, some spinach.

88
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: It was a light load. There wasn't much there. So

89
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: I figured, listen, how much damage can this old guy

90
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: do with a salad bowl in his little handbasket thing

91
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: he's got. So I gave him the knod. I gave

92
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: this guy the nod. And then I realized shortly after

93
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: the price of that nod, right, the price of that nod.

94
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: It was a gesture for him to go ahead, now, listen,

95
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sitting here taking a bow. I'm not a

96
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: prince among men. It was the right thing to do,

97
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: and at this moment, right in front of me, to

98
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: my dismay, the metamorphosis took place. And immediately this guy,

99
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: now he was not moving fast anyway, but the grandpad

100
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: juice kicked in the grandpad Juice kicked in. This guy

101
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: didn't just slow down. Let me tell you, he went

102
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: into a medically induced comb I thought that he was

103
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: a koala in a eucalyptus tree as well. He starts

104
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: that old guy wattle. Do we know when that starts?

105
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Do I have that to look forward to? If I

106
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: live long enough, I'll get the old guy wattle. Back

107
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: in the day, when I was around the Dodgers a lot,

108
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: there a guy named Tommy Lasorda, and Tommy he had

109
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: both his knees replaced and his hips replaced, and it

110
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: was like a terminator, and he had the old guy wattle.

111
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about, that rhythmic side decide

112
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: shuffle that It's like you're walking through waist deep molasses.

113
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 1: And suddenly my three item quick trip to the grocery

114
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: store is looking like a bumpy bumpy bumpy ride. And

115
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: then I went through these seven stages of grocery grief,

116
00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: as I call it. I had full regret. And so

117
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: I I get to the checkout stand. He's in front

118
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: of me, this guy, and everything disintegrates. Number one, we

119
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: had the audio malfunction. So this poor Chap's hearing aid

120
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: decided to go on vacation, and the cashier, this woman,

121
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: she's shouting the price like five times. She rang everything

122
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: up and she had to shout the price five times.

123
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: I could have shouted it from the parking lot. And

124
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: so then the second thing was the wallet Safari. So

125
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: this fine gentleman starts looking for his wallet. Now generally speaking,

126
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: there's only two places the wallet could be the right

127
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: pocket or the left pocket. He's patting himself down like

128
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: he's at TSA. He's getting frisked at the airport, so

129
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: this is not good. Finally, he slowly finds the wallet.

130
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: And really that's the third part of this the seven

131
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: stages of grocery grief. Because you had the slow motion

132
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: REPLA thought. I was watching one of the NFL games

133
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: and we went to a booth review, but not an

134
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: expedite at booth review. So finally he finds the wallet.

135
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: He opens it up and again, as I was watching

136
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: an NFL replay under the hood and it was at

137
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: one one hundred speed, I'm waiting for the referee to

138
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: come out and overturn the call. I'm waiting for the referee.

139
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: I was like, maybe I should call JT. The wingman.

140
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: He can come and pick this guy up and give

141
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: him a ride somewhere because this is not going well. Now.

142
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: The fourth part of this the cash factor. So this

143
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: gentleman in twenty twenty six decided to pay with cash.

144
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 1: Of course he does.

145
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: Credit cards are the devil's plastic, right, why would you

146
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 3: do that? So he decided to pay with the cause,

147
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: which normally would not be a problem.

148
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Normally wouldn't have to be a problem because it's okay,

149
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: you can pay with cash if you're quick, right, chat that.

150
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: So then the guy the fifth part of this is

151
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: the change futs around. So the cash here gives him

152
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: his change. There's some coins or whatever. Now most people

153
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: would just take that change and put it in their

154
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: pocket and move on, but not my old friend. No, no, no,

155
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: this gentleman, he had to methodically categorize every dime, every penny.

156
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, so that was that was a pain.

157
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: And then the sixth thing was the logjam. So behind me,

158
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: and remember we got to the checkout stand. It was

159
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: just two of us. So this guy's taking so long

160
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: behind us. The line is growing. It's like a small mob.

161
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: It was the only checkout stand open. People are looking

162
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: at me like I'm the one holding things up. I'm like, dude,

163
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: just leave me alone, all right. Then it gets even better,

164
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: because then we have bagging. That's another ordeal. The cosmos

165
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: flips another page in its stone bound Sokka while this

166
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: gentleman tries to put the stuff in the bag the

167
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: seventh part. By the time the cashier starts scanning my item,

168
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: now keep in mind the guy's still standing there. I'm

169
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: a vibrating fireball. I quickly tap tap tap the credit

170
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: card little reader box thing. I hit it. Sorry, i

171
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: think I've broken the little plastic and I'm ready to bowl. However, again,

172
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: my friend, this older guy, the old geezer guy, is

173
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: still there, hovering over his kale, the leafy greens at

174
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: his snail's gallop. And I couldn't take anywhere. I went

175
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: Popeye the sailor man. That's all I can stand, and

176
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: I can't stands no more. So I tossed them aside.

177
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: And I didn't toss them aside. I channeled the Minister

178
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: of Defense, Reggie White. I went full Reggie White. I

179
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: used the hump move. You remember the hump move when

180
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: he was playing for the Green Bay Packers and the

181
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: Eagles back in the day. If you're old Reggie White,

182
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 1: great defensive player, It's a quick, powerful lateral shift, and

183
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: I was able to circumvent kind of a mix of

184
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: the swim move, and I exited the the store before

185
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: I lost with left of my mind. Now, Keemon, I

186
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: am somewhat of a nice guy. I'm not mister a

187
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: nice guy who used to contribute to show. I know

188
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: what happened to him for now at this moment, I

189
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: learned a life lesson. Again. If I am in the

190
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: same situation I see a nice guy, a older guy

191
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: with leafy greens and a hearing aid, or an older

192
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: woman in the same situation, I'm taking the hit. I'm

193
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: cutting the person off. I'm sorry, Grandpa or grandma the baboushka.

194
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: I got cheese to shred, I got things to do.

195
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm out.

196
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: I am out, skis see you later, Bye bye.

197
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: That's how that's going now, turning the page. I planned

198
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: on talking about this on the previous edition of The

199
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: Fifth Hour, and then I got carried away on some

200
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: other stuff, so I didn't get to it. It's truly

201
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: one of my favorite stories of the week, and I

202
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: didn't have time to get to it on the radio show.

203
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: And the reason I did not have time to get

204
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: to it on the radio show is because something always

205
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: seemed to pop up in the NFL or Major League Baseball.

206
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: And just like yesterday on the podcast, we talked about

207
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: the college basketball scandal, the point shaving scan. Reason we

208
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: talked about that is because the Tucker's signing with the

209
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: Dodgers happened kind of late. The show was mostly put

210
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: to bed by then, and so we had to we

211
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: had to edit some stuff out and chop some things

212
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: away and all that, and so we did that and

213
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: then that was that, and so we didn't have time

214
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: to get to this particular story. It is amazing, though,

215
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: it is absolutely amazing. It's a basketball story, but it's

216
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: not really a basketball story. It's more of a medical story.

217
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: You feel me on that. It is more of a

218
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: medical story than it is a story. Worry about basketball,

219
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: all right, So when I say modern medical marvel, that

220
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: is not a compliment, that is a diagnosis. It's doctor Mahlor.

221
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: Doctor Mahlor is in the building, in the building here,

222
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: and so that's what we're gonna call this because at

223
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: this point, Anthony Davis is not a basketball player. We're

224
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: talking about AD. He is a roaming anatomy lesson with

225
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: multiple max contracts, multiple max contracts. He just just an

226
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: amazing accomplishment the amount of money that he's being able

227
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: to make. So the phrase day to day has shadowed

228
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: this man for so long it ought to be stitched

229
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 1: onto the back of his jerseys like an advertising patch.

230
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: Not Davis, not AD, just day to day, day to day.

231
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: And Charles Barkley, I believe, gave him the nickname street Clothes,

232
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: which is not trash talking. It is not trash talking.

233
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: That is branding. Okay, that is absolute branding is what

234
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: that is. It's so appropriate. So buckle up, buccaroo. Because

235
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 1: the Internet did what the Internet does best. It got

236
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: really really bored and started doing some math. Not malor math,

237
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: their math. It started counting. And the results sound for gayzy.

238
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: They sound ridiculous. It sounds fake, It sounds made up.

239
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: Is it true? Across his long NBA career, Anthony Davis

240
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: has suffered how many injured You want to take a guess,

241
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: did you see this? You did not see this? Okay, good,

242
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: so take a guess. I didn't even know who Anthony

243
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: Davis is. I'm just listening because I need something going

244
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: on the background. Okay, take a breath, all right. So

245
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: again the question is how many injuries? This is the

246
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: most injury prone player in basketball Anthony Davis in his career.

247
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: And let me let me go and let me see

248
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: when did he start playing? Let me see this. So

249
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis, remember but Kentucky back in the day. He

250
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: started his NBA career as the number one overall pick

251
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: in the NBA draft the unibrow. That was the twenty

252
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: twelve NBA Draft. So it's been almost fourteen years. Almost

253
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: fourteen years, Anthony Davis has suffered, according to Internet Sluice two,

254
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety six injuries. He has had injuries

255
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: that have spanned fifty one unique body parts fifty one.

256
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: That is not an injury history, that is a medical syllabus.

257
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: As he came into the NBA with the New Orleans Hornets,

258
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: they changed their name to the Pelicans. Then he was

259
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: given to the Lakers, who then gave him to Dallas.

260
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: He is currently Anthony Davis thirty two years old. He

261
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: turns thirty three in March. So we have a little

262
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: bit of time before that, and I wanted to highlight

263
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: this story because it is a humdinger. It is. They

264
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: don't even call him Anthony Davis anymore. No, no, no,

265
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: he's like the freak of nature or something like that.

266
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: It is wild, absolutely wild, what this guy has had

267
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: so the inventory on this and I'll give you I

268
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: don't know I have time to give you everything. It's

269
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: only a half an hour podcast. My god, imagine, if

270
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: you will, a doctor flipping through charts like he's shuffling

271
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: a deck of cards. He's had fifty five foot injuries,

272
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: fifty five twenty four ankle injuries, twenty achilles injuries, twenty

273
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: back injuries, the abductor, the knee, the calf, the shoulder,

274
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: the thumb, the wrist, the growing, the yel, the eye,

275
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: the finger, the rib, the glute. I mean, my god,

276
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: both sides, by the way, both sides of his tuckas

277
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: he's injured his tuckas his badonka donk. He's missed games

278
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: with random illnesses. I mean, I can't even some of

279
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: these things, I don't even know what they are. I

280
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: believe I have them, I don't know what they are.

281
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: So this thing, it's like a medical textbook. It's not

282
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: one weak areas. It's not like, well, I just got

283
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: a bad knee or my back, or it's all my

284
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: ache and back, my knee, my back, my back, my knee. No, no, no,

285
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: it's everything everywhere, all at once. And Anthony Davis is

286
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: a human version of a Jenga tower where every block

287
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: is loose, and you touch him, something slices that you

288
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: breathe on him wrong, and all of a sudden he

289
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: needs to go to the medical room for evaluation. He

290
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: has strained things again, people most people don't even know

291
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: could be strained. And at this point, if Anthony Davis

292
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: sneezes too hard, someone yells time out, time out, time out.

293
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 1: The trainers come sprinting out like their airport firefighters to

294
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: try to take care of Anthony Davis. You gotta take

295
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,719
Speaker 1: care of this guy, you gotta you gotta take care

296
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: of him. And uh, I mean, was it a baseball

297
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: was it Sammy Sosa? There have been a few baseball

298
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: players over.

299
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 3: The years that have been injured by sneezing, which is

300
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 3: always so embarrassing.

301
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: So embarrassing. Anyway, here's the thing. All of these Anthony

302
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 1: Davis basketball injuries sound exaggerated until you see, until you

303
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: see everything waied out and it just keeps going and

304
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: going and going and going like the Energizer bunny. Uh

305
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: And it's just insane. It's not a career resumes, it's

306
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: a web md commercial and it's got a sneaker deal.

307
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: This has to be has to be the most unbreakable

308
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: record in NBA history. Not points, not reb not injuries

309
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: like day to day injuries. I'm talking about lifetime injuries

310
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about. Nobody is catting because guys

311
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: get hurt randomly. That's what I'm trying to say.

312
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 3: But Anthony Davis, his body of work, it is the

313
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 3: Mona Lisa of injury, it really is. It's the Mona

314
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 3: Lisa of injury. Nobody is going to catch this.

315
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: You'd have to actively try, and even if you were trying,

316
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 1: even if you know, even if you were doing that,

317
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be able to go there. You would you'd

318
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: need to slip on the banana peel during warm ups,

319
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: fall down a ten flight of stair thing of a jig,

320
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, right into the team bus, then get run

321
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,959
Speaker 1: over by the team bus and then you get up,

322
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 1: you sit down and you're tying your shoes and you

323
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: pull a hamstring tying your shoes, and you have to

324
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: do all of that in the span of a couple

325
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 1: of hours.

326
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: And then there's Dallas, Oh, Dallas.

327
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: The mav Rex, the mav Rex, And of course this

328
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: was a orchestrated trade. They took Anthony Davis for Luka Doncic.

329
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: We think there was more to that story, much more

330
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: to that story that will come out over time. But

331
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 1: the Mavericks have experienced the full Anthony Davis package at

332
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: warp speed since arriving deep in the heart of Texas.

333
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis has suffered are you ready for this? Eighteen

334
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: injuries in less than a year. He's missed forty two games.

335
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: He's played twenty nine for the MAVs in Dallas. That

336
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 1: is not load management, That is load avoidance is what

337
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: is what that is the groin, the abductor flares up,

338
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: the CAF issue, the achilles, you name it. And the

339
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: grand finale, a ligament injury to his left hand, which

340
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: is currently going on right now, which could that's always

341
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: a word, could sideline Anthony Davis for ones for months.

342
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: At this point, the Mavericks training staff is not taping ankles,

343
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: they're lighting candles and saying prayers. They're bringing in clergy

344
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 1: to try to figure this out. There's a lot going

345
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: on so Dallas, I guess they thought they were getting

346
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: a grand piano. I have to go with check in

347
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: on the old Mavericks GM there, see what he's up to.

348
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: But they thought they were get this grand piano, and

349
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: it turns out that half the keys are missing and

350
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 1: the bench collapses if you sit too hard. So it's

351
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: not about toughness. This is about physics. It's about biology.

352
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: The thing of a jig has a glitch in it.

353
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: You can't fix the what you might call it. It's

354
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: a bit of a problem. So this is the human

355
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: body that is just wired differently. There's a I remember

356
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 1: talking to a coach years ago, football coach about this,

357
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: and that's how some guys are always in the trainer's

358
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: room and other guys aren't. You know, some guys have

359
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 1: they're just wired where they're tough. And I think it's

360
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: a combination of that and also how you were how

361
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: you were raised. You know, some people were raised to

362
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: rub some dirt on it and get back out there

363
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: and do your thing, and then there's other people that

364
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: if you have a boo boo, you better sit out

365
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 1: and rest your booboo. You've got to rest your booboo.

366
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: And so I think that's part of it, I really do.

367
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: I mean, the biology is obviously something, but how many

368
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: of these injuries could Anthony Davis have actually played through right,

369
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: like a tougher person would have been able to play?

370
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: And then but his issue is the do hickey just

371
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 1: doesn't really really work and his body refuses to cooperate

372
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: with the basketball schedule. Anthony Davis ady does not just

373
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 1: break down. He decomposes again. Is wild? I keep going

374
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: back to modern medical marvel. Doctors should study him. Medical

375
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: students ought to rotate through the injury log. It's a syllabus.

376
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Week one, foot, week two, other foot week three, ankle

377
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: week four, achilles tweak in the final exam everything. He

378
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 1: is a real life humpty dumpty humpy dumpty and you

379
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: know the rhyme we all grew up with it. Let

380
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: me update it for the NBA. Anthony Davis sat on

381
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: a wall. Anthony Davis had a great fall. All the

382
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: NBA's doctors and all the NBA's trainers couldn't put the

383
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: unibrow together again. I didn't really rhyme anyway. When availability

384
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: is the best ability Anthony Davis, think of him like

385
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: the abstract art exhibit of the NBA when he plays

386
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: brilliant when you see it, impossible to rely on and

387
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: always closed for maintenance. Now we do not doubt the talent.

388
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: We do not doubt the talent. Regardless. The universe is

389
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: not injury prone anymore. No, no, no, no, he is injury certified.

390
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: He is. At this point, Anthony Davis should be sponsored

391
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 1: by ice packs, pharmacy, great ibuprofen, MRIs and the words

392
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: day to day whispered softly into the night. All right. Now,

393
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: I was thinking, since I've seen these commercials for dose Eqes,

394
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: the beer with the most interesting man in the world,

395
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: I guess they brought that back. I've seen it watching

396
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: my sports Hunt at night, and so I don't know

397
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot about it. I love those commercials back in

398
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: the day. So I thought, since this is a podcast

399
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: and we can have some fun, and not that we

400
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: don't have fun on the radio, I thought we kind

401
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: of futz around a little bit with this, and I

402
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: was inspired by watching those commercials for the beer and

403
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 1: then Anthony Davis, and I said, let's bring these two

404
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: worlds together. So I want to workshop this and see

405
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: if I can can give you a Anthony Davis voiced over.

406
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: I'll be the big voice guy. I'll be the big

407
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: voice guy for Anthony Davis, a very deep, dramatic, serious,

408
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: something that doesn't need to be serious here because we're

409
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: talking about sports. What do you do? It's sports, dummy?

410
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you? All right? So here we go again.

411
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: This is the Anthony Davis. If you were making a

412
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: dose ECAs commercial for Anthony Davis of the Dallas Mavericks,

413
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: here's how it would go. Go everyone quiet on set.

414
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: We'll take it from the top three, two and one.

415
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: He's not the healthiest man in the world, but when

416
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 3: injuries happen, they happened to him. Anthony Davis has suffered

417
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 3: two hundred and ninety six injuries spanning fifty one body parts,

418
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 3: including some doctors didn't even know existed. His medical chart

419
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: has its own table of contents. MRIs line up to

420
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,880
Speaker 3: meet him, X ray machines, pre stretch when he falls down,

421
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 3: the arena gasps, and the trainer's sprint. His unibrow is

422
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: in facial hair.

423
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 1: It's a warning label.

424
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 3: He wants day to aid so hard. The calendar filled

425
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 3: a restraining order. I think I meant to say, file

426
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 3: the restraining order.

427
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: Teammates stretch before warmups. He stretches the definition of questionable.

428
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: He can dominate a game for three quarters and dominate

429
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: the injury report in the fourth.

430
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 3: He is the most injured man in the world.

431
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Stay injured, my friends. All right, screwed that up. But

432
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: you got the gist of it, right, You got the

433
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: gist of it. Yeah, okay, all right, there you go.

434
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:07,879
Speaker 1: Why not? All right? Oh man? All right, well very good.

435
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: I did see there were a bunch of baseball signings yesterday,

436
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: and I was debating whether to do a malad monologue

437
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: about that. And I don't know, do I want to

438
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: do a deep dive on Boba Schett going to the Mets.

439
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: I do like that. The Mets snuck in there because

440
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 1: they didn't get Kyle Tucker, so they had to get somebody.

441
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: So they just threw a bunch of money at Boba Schett.

442
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: And then j t Ria Muto, who's supposed to leave

443
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: the Phillies. He agreed to a deal with the Phillies,

444
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: so I love all that stuff. Well, I think it's

445
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: hilarious the amount of money that's going around in Major

446
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: League Baseball every off season, and it doesn't matter. It's

447
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: just wild. And I got a bunch of angry emails

448
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: from people were like, oh, you know it always is.

449
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: I like your show, but as we know, the word

450
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: butt means everything you say before the word butt is

451
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: bull crap, and so getting messages I did not like

452
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 1: your rant about the Dodgers. You're a fanboy, you know

453
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 1: that whole thing. Well, no, I mean I'm not. I

454
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,719
Speaker 1: like the Dodgers. I do. I wouldn't classic myself as

455
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: a fanboy. There are Dodger people still upset with me

456
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 1: that I absolutely slayed. I took a guillotine to Clayton

457
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: Kershaw and some of the Dodger nation. They are not happy,

458
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: not happy. And you know, let's say, by the way,
