38
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: That's right now. We got NFL football coming up on

39
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: a Thursday night in the Delaware Valley and the story

40
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: that everyone's been yapping about. I thought somebody had died.

41
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: When I woke up, I was like, oh, my god,

42
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,119
Speaker 1: was little Groggy you ever do that? You grab your phone,

43
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Little Groggy and get a lot of messages. I said, well,

44
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: either I lost my job, someone died. Something bad happened,

45
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: and they are looking around. It's not that bad. Yeah,

46
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: then I rolled over on the pillow. But the scandal,

47
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: the scandal of the day in the NBA. If you

48
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 1: have not seen this, maybe not the Clippers, the people's

49
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: team and the richest man in all of sport, Steve Balmer.

50
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 1: That's the guy that owns the team, although they don't

51
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: call him owners because they're woke. Over there at the NBA.

52
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: They call them governors, but everyone else calls them owners

53
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: because they're it's ridiculous anyway. The Clippers and owner Steve

54
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: Balmer have been accused of giving a star Kawhi Leonard

55
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: a nineteen nineties Sopranos HBO style job twenty eight million

56
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: dollars for a no show job. Where do I sign

57
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: up for that? My god? All of this said to

58
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: be in an effort, a covert effort to circumvent the

59
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: salary cap rules of the NBA. Now, Pablo Torre detailed

60
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: the accusations on the podcast. He's got this fledgling podcast

61
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: which has about you know, I don't know five people

62
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: listening to it. But he claims he has a direct

63
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: legal documentation. He's got a deep throat who used to

64
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: work for this company, and he laid it all out,

65
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: laid all of it out in an effort to get

66
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: clicks and become famous and make a lot of money

67
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So he says that Kawhi Leonard

68
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: was paid seven million dollars a year but a total

69
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: twenty eight million through a company, a tree planning service.

70
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: That's right, man, that's a lot of money to plant trees.

71
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: The company's now bankrupt. Hard to believe, and he's accusing

72
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: The podcast guy is accusing Balmer of paying paying Kawhi

73
00:04:54,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: Leonard more than his current contract with which would go

74
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: against the NBA rules. Now, this guy, Pablo Toy never

75
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: found evidence that Leonard marketed or endorsed the company that

76
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: you've never heard of. Even more telling, the claimed they

77
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: found a clause that stated that Kawhi Leonard would only

78
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: be paid the money if he remained a member of

79
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: the People's team the Clippers now a former a former employee.

80
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Of course, the company's long around, so they're all former employees,

81
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: but somebody used to work with the company claimed that

82
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: the agreement between the tree planting service in Leonard was

83
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: done to circumvent the salary cap a real Cloak and

84
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Dager mission of the NBA has said they have opened

85
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: up in investigation. The Keystone Cops are on it. Don't worry,

86
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: They're good to go. Keystone Cops is named after old

87
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: old beer company and the Clippers. The Clippers have denied

88
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: any wrongdoing in a letter that was vetted by an

89
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: army of very wealthy people that passed through the bar

90
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: and have become lawyers. So let us discuss the question

91
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: how much trouble. How much trouble are the Clippers and

92
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: owner Steve Balmer in with this situation now the Kawhi

93
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Leonard no show job report. How much trouble are they in?

94
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: So I've got ruffles, butterball, turkey, and samurai sword and

95
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: we will combine all of these things together and we

96
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: are going to make a delicious pastrami sandwich, one of

97
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: the great sandwiches we have in this world. Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy,

98
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: So a on the Malard scale of the trouble, the

99
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Malar scale of trouble, which is the measuring tool that

100
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: we use to determine what is good and what is bad.

101
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: So on the Malar scale of trouble one to ten,

102
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: with ten being real bad, this is a seven. I'm

103
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: at a seven on the of trouble. Not quite a

104
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: sentence to the dungeon. You're not being sent to the dungeon,

105
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 1: but we are talking about the reason I'm out of seven.

106
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: This is a full blown pr inferno, burn baby burn.

107
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: The damage is done. The headline is out, and we

108
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: know that the people are dumb and they only react

109
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: to the headline. And that's it. The headline's out and

110
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: you get into the mine, and that's what people go with. Right,

111
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: people react to the headline. I do the same thing.

112
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: People send me a story. How often do I not

113
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: even click on the story? Somebody will send me It

114
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: happens a lot. And there's been research done that most

115
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: people don't even bother clicking on the story. So I

116
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: did read these stories. But this is a bag of ruffles,

117
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: is what this is. It's a there was a visceral

118
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: reaction to the oven baked ruffles, and it was baked

119
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: right into the discourse. Here this is a Wolf of

120
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: Wall Street meets load management situation. You've got Steve playing

121
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: the role of Jordan Belfort, except instead of tossing dwarfs

122
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: at the bullseye, he is apparently tossing allegedly millions and

123
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: millions at a guy who hasn't posted a single social

124
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: media comment or ad for, or even a picture with

125
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: a tree for this company. No billboards, no commercials, no collab,

126
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: none of that. Just a clause, a clause that says

127
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: you get paid if you stay a Clipper. That's not

128
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: an endorsement deal. I actually have had, believe it or not,

129
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: some endorsement deals. That's normally how they don't go. That's

130
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: a retention bonus with a fig leaf attached to it. Now,

131
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: even if Balmer didn't know the fine, the optics see

132
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: the reason I'm going to seven. The optics are pretty brutal.

133
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: You can't be the face of green innovation and end

134
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 1: up looking like you used a bankrupt tree company to

135
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: pay your superstar under the table. Now the Clippers are saying, hey,

136
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: they're queen. Did you expect them to say you got us,

137
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: ah man boy, we thought we could get away with it.

138
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: But you know what, we're guilty on all charges. They're

139
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: claiming that they didn't know that. They just wanted to

140
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: help out some tree hugging company and do good things.

141
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: And it's when good intentions come with a twenty eight

142
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: million dollar writer that's tied to your roster. You're not

143
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: planting trees. You're planting red flags, is what you're doing

144
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: at this point. Now, the other part of this is

145
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: we turn the page here, page two. Former Mavericks owner

146
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: and noted woke gas bag Mark Cuban has come to

147
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: the defense the Brotherhood of Owners. So Mark Cuban has

148
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: come to the defense of Steve Balmer, pushing back, Push

149
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: it back, now, push it back, pushing back on these

150
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: claims made by the fledgling podcaster Pablo Torre of salary

151
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: cap manipulation. So Cuban said, quote Steve Balmer, isn't that dumb?

152
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: He said, if he did try to feed Kawhi money

153
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: knowing what was at stake for him personally and his team,

154
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: do you think, Cuban said, do you think he meeting Balmer?

155
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: Do you think that Balmer would have let that company

156
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: go bankrupt, knowing all creditors would be visible to the world.

157
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: Now formerly of the Shark Tank, Mark Cuban argued that

158
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: the scandal actually points to the Tree company's fraud, not

159
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Steve Balmer doing anything that wasn't kosher. He said, they

160
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: got scammed. That's what this is, Mark Cuban saying they

161
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: got scammed by this company along with many others. Cuban

162
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: wrote on a long wordy social media post the crimes

163
00:10:54,920 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: for which they pleaded guilty last week, scammers do scammy things.

164
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: The quote right there that says the default assumption that

165
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: Balmer was at fault is going to backfire, going to backfire,

166
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: says Mark Cuban. All right, that's a good jumping off point.

167
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: So thumbs up or thumbs down. Thumbs up or thumbs down.

168
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: On Mark Cuban's defense the Mavericks former owner who now

169
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: has a bit part of the teams like a cheerleader

170
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: for the Mavericks, Mark Cuban's defense of Clippers owner Steve

171
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Bamber thumbs upper, thumbs down. So, just on face value,

172
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: Cuban tossed a haymaker of logic into what has become

173
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: a tornado of speculation, just a swirling storm of speculation,

174
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give him the big old thumbs up.

175
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm going thumbs up on this. Here's why. Let me

176
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: make my picture. Cuban's defense was rather straightforward. Now, you

177
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: say he's biased because he actually is part of the

178
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: ownership fraternity, and that is true. But it's not just

179
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: a character witness. It is a forensic takedown of the narrative.

180
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense here. Steve isn't that dumb,

181
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: he wrote. And even if he is that dumb, he's

182
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: got enough money where he can hire smart people that

183
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: will not allow this to happen. It's not just some

184
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of billionaire bro code. Which do they have a

185
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: billionaire bro code? I don't know. I'm not a billionaire.

186
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. So Steve Balmer would have to

187
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: have the IQ in order for this to go the

188
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: way it's going right now, the IQ of a butterball

189
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,959
Speaker 1: turkey to have this happen. A reminder that Steve Balmer

190
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: makes per year one billion dollars that is just off

191
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Microsoft dividends. He doesn't have to do anything. He can

192
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: sit there and pick buggers out of his nose for

193
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: an entire year, he gets a billion dollars, He owns

194
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: four percent still of Microsoft. He doesn't need to play

195
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: salary cap twister with a shell company that just pled

196
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: guilty to fraud. And he could have spent the money

197
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: to keep the company going, knowing if it was a

198
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: sham company. He didn't do that. He chose not to

199
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: do that. If Balmer wanted to pay Kawhi here's the

200
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 1: other thing. If Balmer wanted to pay Kawhi Leonard under

201
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: the table, and I'm certainly not going to sit here

202
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: and say that that kind of stuff doesn't happen. It

203
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 1: probably does happen all the time in all of professional sports.

204
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: And there were rumors going back years ago where Robert

205
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: Kraft was taking care of Tom Brady under the table.

206
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: Whether that ever actually happened or not, the chatter was

207
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: out that, you know, you scratch my back, all scratch

208
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: your back. But just staying with this story. So, if

209
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: Balmer wanted to take care of Kawhi Leonard under the table,

210
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 1: he wouldn't need the bankrupt tree hugging company to do it.

211
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: He could just ven bow him from the dark web,

212
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: you know, get some kind of burner account to do

213
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: the crypto thing. Get a crypto wallet, name it load

214
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: management and there you go. Yeah, I do find it

215
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: amusing if the story is actually true, and I'm skeptical

216
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: that it's true the way it was initially reported. But

217
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: if it is, that, I mean Kawhi Leonard actually has

218
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: two no show jobs, because I consider the job he

219
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: has with the Clippers a no show job because when

220
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: they didn't the most, he doesn't show up. He rarely plays. So, man,

221
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: you talk about cashing in the chips. Now the last

222
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: word here, So what did you think of the media covers?

223
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: There was a Kawhi Leonard feeding frenzy like piranha with

224
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: blood in the water. There over the accusations of a

225
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: no show job against Kawhi Leonard. So this was a

226
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: full scale, like a metaphorical military operation claw down, we'll

227
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: call it. Why Because make no mistake, Kawhi is different

228
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: than all the other NBA stars. The NBA media elites,

229
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: the very top of the NBA media world are buddy

230
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: buddy with these guys. They are right, and they activated

231
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: these same media elites in the NBA. They activated their

232
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: grudge missiles and they locked on to Kawhi Leonard kind

233
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: of like he was the last slice of free pizza

234
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: in the press box dining room. And Kawhi Leonard is

235
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: the silent basketball introvert, the man who treats the postgame

236
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: interview like dental surgery. He would rather have a root canal.

237
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: He's not in the banana boat brotherhood. He's not in

238
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: that right. He's not trading memes with Lebron or doing

239
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: a cheeseball podcast with Draymond Green. You think he's grabbing

240
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: omelets with Michael Wilbon at the Ritz. No, you think

241
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: he's tossing back vodka tonics with Steven A at the

242
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: Four Seasons in Milwaukee talking about the culture of basketball. No,

243
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Kawhi is probably eating a protein bar with the lights

244
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: off in his hotel room somewhere, muttering gibberish is what

245
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 1: he's doing here. Because of that, like the media has

246
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: got their samurai swords out. They don't just want him criticized,

247
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: they want him totally erased, which means that this is

248
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: a coordinated airstrike on Kawhi doesn't curry favor. He's the

249
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: last lone wolf for better or worse, and the media

250
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: lap dogs don't like and it may not be one

251
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 1: of the cool kids, but he doesn't seem to care

252
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: too much. Although if there's truth in this story, then

253
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: Kawhi will his contract will be voided. There'll be all

254
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: kinds of punishment that will come down. It is the

255
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: Ban Mallord Show. You want to comment on this or

256
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: the upcoming NFL season, It is on the Dallas Cowboys

257
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: and the Philadelphia Eagles. They're gonna have some fun a

258
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: partey if you will. Here for the Cowboys and the

259
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: Eagles as they crank it up a couple of notches

260
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: on a Thursday night, which is we always get excited

261
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: for a week one of the NFL and regularly about

262
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of the game blow. They're just terrible

263
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: because the starters don't play much in the exhibition season

264
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: and it normally takes about a month for things to

265
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: really settle in. Yet we will try to remain somewhat

266
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: optimistic as the season is about to kick off in

267
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: the NFL. You want to talk about any of that,

268
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: anything we should have talked about instead of this, give

269
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 1: us a buzz right now eight seven, seven ninety nine

270
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: on Fox No. A buddy of mine did mention that

271
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: if this was accurate, the story is accurate, there's some

272
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: legal possibilities that circumventing you know, we did Kawhi pay

273
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: taxes on this? Did Balmer you gave this money? Does

274
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: he have to pay extra? I mean, there's some some

275
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: legal stuff involved in it. If it's actually the way

276
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: that it was initially reported, which is almost never the case, right,

277
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: The initial report is almost never accurate. There might be

278
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: some truth in there, but not not all one hundred percent.

279
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Didn't actually get it one hundred percent right. It's never

280
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right on any of these stories. Eight

281
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,480

Speaker 1: or it may not be used on there. We might

286
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,239
Speaker 1: just ignore it and pretend like it didn't happen. If

287
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: it's stupid and all that. So later on, if you're

309
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 3: about the stories behind the stories in the world of

310
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: sports and pop culture, stories that well, other shows don't

311
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 3: seem to have the time to discuss. And the fact

312
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,159

Speaker 1: We have no one following it, there's no one there,

355
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 1: but we'll build it up from the ground up. So

356
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: we're excited about that. All the NFL picks, I will

359
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: A new season kicks off. We had a light light episode,

360
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: kind of an appetizer, and then later today we will

361
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: be going into the YouTube studio and recording a full,

362
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: full edition of that show. So very very exciting. All right,

363
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: let's see who do we have on the phones here? Well,

364
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: we'll go to the phones in a second. Ferg Dog says,

365
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: this fake Kawhi story blowing up just further proves how

366
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 1: far the Lakers have Fallman, I haven't heard a single

367
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: thing about the Lakers all off season. They simply don't

368
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: move the needle anymore. It's rather sad and it's correct

369
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: for a dog. Good take by you. Late night drug

370
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: tester says, I have no experience with running shell companies

371
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: like billionaire Steve Balmer, but I promise once I win

372
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: the power Ball on Saturday, I'll start looking into it. Yeah,

373
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: and and let me tell you something right now. Okay, remember,

374
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: if you ever fall into a lot of money, remember

375
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: your favorite overnight guess bag. I would be a model

376
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: employee at a no show job. Okay, I promise you

377
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: I will be your number one employee a no show job.

378
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Will you just give me like the Sopranos, just give

379
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: me an envelope with cash. I'm good on that. I'm

380
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: absolutely good on that. At yep, Let's see what else

381
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: do we have here? Not a burner, rights In, says Ben.

382
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: In this illustration of NFL players marching to the common

383
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: goal of winning the Lombardi Trophy, is it a bad

384
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: sign they chose the Bear's punter as their representation. Well,

385
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: this is the first I've seen of it. Not a burner.

386
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: That is not ideal. You do not want to have

387
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: your punter representing your franchise. Generally speaking, that does not

388
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: go very well. Big rig Rob rights and says Ben.

389
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: Why in the world wouldn't Steve Balmer have a fake

390
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: company to move money around? Sounds exactly like what billionaires

391
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: would do, or what a billionaire would do unless he didn't.

392
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: Excellent hour one monologue, Good job by you, and no

393
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: Bill Miller for a bonus. Nature Boy says a couple

394
00:23:55,320 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: of things here. He says, Kawhi is a true botanists

395
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 1: who likes trees. Lay off the dude. Well, I think

396
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: a lot of NBA players like trees. If you know

397
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, But glad to be a tree hugger. Ben.

398
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 5: We love trees, big, tall, strong, sturdy trees.

399
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, I love trees. One of my favorite places

400
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: to go is the Giant Forest in Sequoia National Forest

401
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: King's Cabin. It's amazing. I love it there. Have you

402
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: been to the Redwoods in northern California. I haven't spent

403
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 1: too much time there, but it's the same thing. I mean,

404
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: it's the same trees. You could even drive through the trees. Yeah, well,

405
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: it's the what's the type of house? Trying to think

406
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: of the how there's certain houses in California that are

407
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: made log cabins. No, not log cabins, I forget the name,

408
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: but they cut down the entire West Coast was filled

409
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: with those giant trees and they just chopped almost all

410
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: of them down to make these these houses. They used

411
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 1: the lumber for the houses. Real Martin from the airport

412
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: in Denver, I think we're very big at the airport

413
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: in Denver. From what I hear, we dominate people that

414
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: work at the airport in Denver. The Real Martin says,

415
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: that's the same Steve Balmer who laugh me off, ble

416
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: a hotel near lax That's not the airport in Denver.

417
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: Martin says, the same bomber who laughed when Apple released

418
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: the first iPhone? Yes, what of the great disasters of business?

419
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: A sweaty it must have smelled like total ass. Steve

420
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: Balmer there on stage, and just you know who's gonna

421
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: want to spend one thousand dollars on a phone? I

422
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: don't know everyone. Ryan from San Diego rights and he says,

423
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: I see the NBA giving the Clippers a harsh penalty

424
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: and forcing them to move to Seattle. You don't say,

425
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 1: do La a favor our gift to Seattle? Bad job

426
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: by you, Ryan. The Clippers have a showcase arena right

427
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: there in the hood in Ingwood. I think a Lakers

428
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 1: should leave that. They play on skid roll. It is

429
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: not safe to go to that arena where the Lakers

430
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: plays a total crapple. They gotta leave La. The Lakers

431
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: should go back to Minnesota. That's what they should do.

432
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: Homeless shoul oh no, No, California loves the homeless absolutely,

433
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 1: a dupe, writes In says to Kawhi got a shady

434
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: nil deal. Who could have thunk it? So? So he says,

435
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: and if you want to be part of this on

436
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: x at Ben Maller, I see Mark the full name

437
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: guy ranting and raving like you know, the whack of

438
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: doodle that he is complaining about this thing, that thing

439
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: and the other thing, and going on and on and on.

440
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: Now the follow up, follow up the Kawhi Leonard Malar monologue.

441
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: What would the punishment be? What would it be? The

442
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 1: death penalty? Are they? Are they going to have the Clippers,

443
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, eliminated from the NBA and play a team

444
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: short and no. The NBA's CBA, the Collective Bargaining Agreement,

445
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: prohibits teams from those affiliated companies from arranging side money

446
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: paying players around the salary cap, circumventing the salary cap.

447
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: The punishment for violations can include multi million dollar fines.

448
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: You think Steve Balmer, who makes a billion dollars a

449
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,400
Speaker 1: year just off the Microsoft dividends, you think he's worried

450
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: about that, the loss of draft picks, and the voiding

451
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: of contracts. So Kawhi Learn's contract would be voided anyone

452
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: else who got I'm sure there's other if they were.

453
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: If this is real, and again I'm skeptical, but assuming

454
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: in the multiverse there is a dimension where this is

455
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: absolutely real, and this happened the way it's being described.

456
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: So what happened the way it's being described, And Paul

457
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: George likely got some money under the table, right, you'd

458
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: go down the list of anybody big that came James Harden,

459
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: they all got money under the table if this is

460
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: what they were doing. So therefore all those guys would

461
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: be voided, and who cares about the fine? And the

462
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 1: Clippers have pretty much traded all their draft picks for

463
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: the last ten years anyway, so it's not like they

464
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: have any draft picks to trade. Pretty much just gotten

465
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: rid of everything. So that's that's the reality on that situation.

466
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: At eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox is the

467
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: number eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.

468
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: If you want to be part of the program, and

469
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: we will go to the phone. Let's start out in

470
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth. Will say hello to Andre in the Commonwealth. Hello, Andre, welcome.

471
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 4: Man, it's good to be with you. Thank thanks for

472
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 4: getting me a number of things in NFL kicking off

473
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 4: willis you know, but this situation with the Clippers and

474
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 4: Steve Bomber, this is no red Herring. Ben, Okay, this

475
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 4: is a serious situation, and the reason being, first of all,

476
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 4: I trust the reporting, and you know, where there's smoke,

477
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 4: there's fire. So they're going to have to eventually recognize

478
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 4: that something untore took place at Willis Chimes and you

479
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 4: need to Snacker Rudies. But the situation here is Steve

480
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 4: Bomber is a gold star owner rather than the bad

481
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 4: actor of which Donald Sterling was right. Came in Daddy Warbucks,

482
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 4: richest owner and teams four, right, and then what does

483
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 4: he do. He has the vision, we're gonna get out

484
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: from other Staples Center. We're going to build our own arenas.

485
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 4: So he executes it right. So this is what the

486
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 4: NBA is trying to do rit large. This is why

487
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 4: they signed on to the ownership we have here in Boston,

488
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: which is more abund as far as I'm concerned, because

489
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 4: they got rid of you Holliday and broke up a dynasty.

490
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 4: But what's this owner talking about, Daddy Warbucks. He's talking

491
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 4: about building a new stadium.

492
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: Right.

493
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: These modern owners aren't necessarily sports guys, but they're but

494
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 4: they're cast rich that can do these things to benefit

495
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 4: the NBA. So why this is a it's a serious problem.

496
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,360
Speaker 4: And Adam Silver frankly hasn't said anything. And it's kind

497
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 4: of scrambling is because you don't want to take five

498
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 4: first round picks away from the clippers. You don't want

499
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 4: to have to penalize the owner of a Steve Bonner.

500
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: But they're what they're going to have to because something

501
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 4: untowards the place here.

502
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you're you're assuming it's accurate. I don't. I'm

503
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: not there yet. Uh, we'll see what comes out. Plus, uh,

504
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: Bomber's got so much money he can and even if

505
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: he did do it, he can get out of it.

506
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: You know, he can just kind of like move some

507
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: stuff around. And isn't that what most rich people do.

508
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 1: They're able to get out of stuff. They can dig

509
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: around and all that and what of course. So yeah,

510
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: but we'll see what happened. Sorry, I thank you are

Speaker 1: Yeah? I did. Actually I did that. Right after the game.

549
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: I started running. I made it all the way across.

550
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,120

553
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,680

554
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 6: bonny Fatou like he has no fans running on empty joke,

555

Speaker 4: That's my new p That's a that's a cross of

580
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 4: like a Southern when animal dogs took up with their cousins,

581
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: they got three yeads.

582
00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: Dude, I gotta go, all right, thank you? As Jed

583
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 1: who flips es, I'm sure he'll probably call back seven times.

584
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,960
Speaker 1: That's normally what happens, So we'll see how that goes. Anyway,

585
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: it is the Ben Malers showtime now for the who

586
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: Am I?

587
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 4: Game?

588
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: This is where I pretend to be somebody else. That's

589
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: we call it the who am I? Game? So with

590
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: two hundred and one passing yards at Cleveland in Week

591
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: one on Sunday, Joe Burrow, who quarterback, he plays with

592
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Football Team's kind of good. Joe Burrow can

593
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: surpass me for the third most passing yards by a

594
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: player in his first seventy career games in NFL history,

595
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: trailing only Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford. A game Joe

596
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: Burrow needs two hundred and one passing yards against the

597
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Browns on Sunday in Week one, and he would surpass

598
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: me for the most passing yards by a player in

599
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: his first seventy career games in NFL history, trailing only

600
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and LA Or I am quarterback Matthew Stafford?

601
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: Who am I? That is the question? The answer, We'll

602
